"Had some of the best service in a chain restaurant there. Atmosphere is relaxed and the food good.",
"Slowest service EVER! I think that we were there for about 20 minutes before even meeting our server. Another 20 minutes later we still hadn't even received water so I had to wave him down to inquire about it's ETA. Apparently we should have rationed it to go along with our meal since we didn't get a single refill. \n\nWe had the mix and match combo. We got half Chili's Classic BBQ sauce and half Memphis Dry Rub. For our side we ordered mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. The sides were amazing! However, the ribs were the worst either of us have ever had! After all the hype about Chili's baby back ribs and all the tempting commercials, we were both HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED. The ribs were extremely dry and had hardly any meat on them. It was pretty much just bones with mummified flesh stretched thin and covered with a stingy layer of sauce or rub We asked for cups of extra sauce to help combat the dryness. Sure could have used more water.... the waiter was MIA. Neither of the sauce flavors were very tasty. The Chili's Classic BBQ sauce tasted just like ketchup and honey mixed together. \n\nI can't help but wonder if these ribs were normal for Chili's and that the people who rave about them are just idiots. OR perhaps these particular ribs came from an anorexic pig and then they were cooked for a few hours too long thus dehydrating any meat that had once been there. OR maybe I'm just used to real BBQ where I get more meat on one single rib than we got on that entire rack. This is not an exaggeration. \n\nDefinitely not coming back to this Chili's. If I ever go to one again, I'll make sure to steer clear of their ribs. Not worth $15 or even $5. All I have to say is: I want my money back money back money back.",
"cost way to much . the wife and i had burgers and fries and cokes $31.00 with tip and the burgers we have had better. sonic and nifty fifty's are way better and much cheaper . been here done this not coming back. also got bad heartburn from there sauce . Tums Tums Tums Tums oh that feels better .",
"Avoid this. We came on valentines day and there was no wait. Now I know why. We were promptly seated and the waitress took well over 5 minutes to greet us. We arrived at 7 pm. Our food didn't arrive to the table until 8:25. Our waitress took our order at 7:20ish and came back at 8:00 asking what it was we ordered again saying she didn't know why the food didn't come out. She returned minutes later to say the order in front of us was huge. She then returned a few more minutes later to say our order was bumped for some reason. I'm a patient person but I thought it was fishy, but remained calm as it was valentines day and it seemed that more people had arrived. So the food comes out at 8:25 and the bacon on my burger was so thick and so hard a bear could have choked on it. I looked around and noticed my son had a cheeseburger in front of him even though he had ordered chicken tenders. This is where I lost my patience and asked for the manager. He came to the table quickly and he was very friendly and apologetic. He offered to replace my burger but at that point I just wanted to finish my food and leave. He then offered to bring out the chicken my son ordered and since he was asking for it still we accepted. The chicken came out too hot for anyone to eat at about 8:40. The waitress was a sweetheart and was also apologetic, but I had no intentions of spending 2 hours at chili's because of a stupid mistake, or rather 2 stupid mistakes. The first was my decision to go there. The manager took several items off the bill so he took care of us, but I ended up heated. The burger besides the burnt bacon was ok.",
"well after 2 years i though i will give it one more try . well THAT'S IT how could it be worse than before well it is slow at everything from greeting you at the door to the food to the check and the burgers well I'm done for good at this one",
"Went there on a Friday for lunch and had a great experience. We got the Santa Fe quesadilla (which was spicy) and the new bacon avocado chicken on a pretzel roll. Both were very good and our soups were tasty as well ;) Everything incl. chips and salsa a large side of guac and a soda for a little over $25! ($30 at least, with tip) But the best part was the bartender/waitress who was super friendly and very attentive and helpful. Thank you Chili's for helping my lunch date with momma go well!",
"Stopped in for a quick margarita. After looking through the menu I choose a mango strawberry margarita on the rocks. The guys I was with chose a Patron margarita I like the presentation of theirs instead of. Having the extra liquid in a Boston shaker l, the extra liquid was in a patron bottle shaped shaker pretty nifty Chilis I must say. The bartender was solid no complaints. \n\nSee ya in the next review\n\n~ Demitris",
"I went there the other night and there was hardly any customers there. So I thought it would be a quick meal. The waitress took a while just to take my drink order. By the time she took it, I knew what I wanted to drink, eat, and what I want for a dessert. The food was good, it was just slow service.",
"We'll let me start off by saying I settled for this place because Outback Steakhouse had a 1hour wait... So I saw there was no long lines here and decided to go with my DH well the steak was tough and tasted like a pork chop the loaded baked potato was over cooked and yuck the broccoli had no seasoning and was bitter!!!! I didn't expect a five star steak but a negative star steak wasn't expected either ...the waiter brought me watermelon lemonade when I asked for water and then took 20 minutes to bring me my water ... The service was terrible and so was the food I think next time all the restaurants are super crowded ....I'll jus go buy me a good steak and make it myself ...never ever will I settle again this place wasn't good at all ...what a waste of time and money",
"ALWAYS ALWYAS TERRIFIC!\n ALWAYS always a good time here. We always sit at the bar and have had Vicky as our server/bartender most of the time. She is terrific...personable, efficient, friendly, etc. The food has been consistently great and the atmosphere is very upbeat. Vicky makes it a fun night out. She is one of the best bartenders we have had the pleasure of dealing with. The restaurant was absolutely packed and we never had to fight to get her attention...and she was working alone"

"I needed a place to eat w/ my kids before a nearby appointment. I hadn't been to this pizza place since it was Satellite (yummy!) when I was in high school eons ago . . . not happenin' as Luigi's for sure. Don't know if it was b/c we ordered individual slices but the pizza was bland - my two types of white and I'm assuming my son's plain slice. Their chicken bites were good and the fries didn't look greasy. The guys hanging up front didn't seem too friendly - our nice waitress was the only saving grace. Our lunch was almost $30 including tip - too pricey for this mediocre joint. Won't be back.",
"First of all - I had purchased a certificate on restaurant.com to be used at Luigi's. Upon arriving at the restaurant, the waitress informed me that they are no longer accepting the certificates (even though it did not have an expiration date) and that the owner was in the process of \"suing\" restaurant.com...to tell you the truth, this certificate was the only reason we went for dinner here. \nThe food is mediocre, service was slow and Inefficient, (the waitress thought it was more important to discuss her private matters with another waitress instead of taking our order), and there are way better Italian restaurants in Runnemede - thank God for variety! We will not patronize this restaurant again....really no need.\nPS - I got my money back from restaurant.com - which I may add is a great site and gives people the opportunity to experience new places which they may not have done so if not for the certificate.",
"OK so you;'re hungry for some \"real\" food but don't want to go out and don't feel like cooking, no problem! They deliver great dinners to your door! Never tried their pizza or sandwiches but I can vouch for their dinners. Nice variety of of standard italian fare with a great marinara sauce. Also great seafood/pasta combo dishes. Never had a bad meal from them and always deliver in a timely fashion. Also reasonably priced. Enjoy!\nUPDATE--Disregard that \"timely fashion\" comment! As much as I really like their food, they do have a problem with the person who answers the phone being clueless. Even after my husband read the exact wording on their menu when ordering, the girl could not find it in computer until the 3rd repeat. OK, fine. Now 1 hour 15 mins later-no food! OK I call-she says what did you order- I start to tell her and she says\" OMG 146.... Ave\" ,after a lot of back & forth where I told her that if it wasn't on it's way, cancel order. She says no he cooked it & it's on it's way NOW. 10 mins later no food (I live less than 5 mins from them). Called back & told her to cancel order since she lied about it leaving. Of course guy showed up a full 17 mins after \"it was on the way\"! Sent him away. Note went from 5 star down to 2 star for really bad customer service!",
"Hey, one of your peeps, Luigi, dropped the menu at this address. When I call for delivery, don't you think the person who answers the phone should know where you deliver to?\n\nOh, you do deliver here? Good. Thought so. But why are you so mediocre? First, if you have a buffalo chicken tender wrap, why can't you put it on a roll instead? And then why is your food just plain bad? \n\nAlso, delivery dude, don't show up with half our order, drive back, and take forever to return with the other half. We are hungry & have no fixins for dinner. That is why we ordered your food. Be decent! Call your place of employ and ask for someone to drive that shit right over. Give back your better than good tip. And give us a freakin' voucher--preferably for good food from somewhere else.\n\nStay away from the chicken salad. Stay away from the buffalo whatever. Don't bother with the fries. Just... stay away & save your money.",
"Wow. Now that was good.\n\nStarted off with the clam appetizer. Bowl of steamed clams with garlic, white wine, red pepper flakes, and a roll with garlic all over it for dipping. Garlic clam explosion. \n\nHad the Neapolitian pizza (they do a Sicilian too) for the main. Sausage, mushroom, black olive. I've had better pizza, it's true, but rarely. If this place were in my neighborhood I'd be here every week.",
"Their tomato sauce is certain to give you heartburn. But they are one of only two places that I know of where you can get a real fried panzorotti and doesn't try to pass off the hot pocket like Tarantini panzorotti's for the real thing!",
"This is a really good, informal Italian restaurant. It has some of the best pizza anywhere. My wife and I always make a point of stopping at Luigi's on our way home from Atlantic City for pizza and one of their wonderful salads. The portions are huge and the prices are reasonable. The staff and owner are very friendly and courteous, and we always manage to take home the leftovers for dinner.\n\nThere are few really good restaurants in Runnemede, but this is one.",
"I order from here frequently.The food is always WONDERFUL, however, the customer service has a lot to be desired. When I call to order the one girl (I know her voice and cringe every time she answers the phone) always sounds miserable and can't wait to get off the phone with me. \n\nThe delivery driver named Yusef is afraid of my \"vicious\" golden retriever and has told me to put my dog away. Shouldn't they not hire delivery drivers who are afraid of dogs??? The last time he came to deliver my food he was early and my son had gone out to the ATM to get the money. Yusef said he had \"other deliveries\" and was late for them. While waiting for my son, I heard him cuss outside my door saying he was \"going to effin kill him\". So despite how good the food is, you lost a faithful customer.",
"Not a single item from this place was good. First and foremost, this is a pizza place, so you would think they make good pizza. Unless you're a child or you were born without a palette, this pizza borders on inedible. Everything else on the menu ranges from terrible to mediocre, nothing is fresh and everything costs %20-30 more than surrounding restaurants. Also, their customer service and delivery is atrocious. Every person that has delivered to my house or answered the phone or called to tell me they were out of something that I just ordered(which happens often), sounds/looks like they just escape a European internment camp. Their English is intelligible and their personality was apparently destroyed by what I am assuming was the tortures that they suffered while imprisoned...",
"They have excellent pizza delivery on time staff courteous. Seafood entrees are so good, nice size portions"

"We ordered a large thin-crust pizza to go, topped with sausage, mushrooms and onions. Palermo's is average priced, not bad, and thankfully their kitchen doesn't skimp on toppings. Along with our pizza, we got an order of buffalo wings to share. Everything was prepared quickly, and it was a cinch to pick up our pie. Park, walk in, pay, and you're a pizza richer! Stop in if you're in the neighborhood.",
"This is by far my favorite spot for Pizza in all of Montgomery County (and beyond). While it has changed over the years, the basics (ie, the pizza) still remain strong. \n\nSure, its small, and parking can be a bit of a pain (especially around rush hour), but it is worth it. I judge a place by its \"plain\" cheese pizza, and they do it well. Cannot complain. Even better yet, they always have the best falafel in town...how about that? Two great standbys under one roof. A treasure.",
"Great pizza, wonderful paninis, good falafel.\n\nThere are some tables inside, but I prefer to take the food back to office or to a nearby park to eat.\n\nThere is a minimum for credit card use, so beware.",
"Best pizza in the area, great for take out. The tuna panni is very good.\nThere mushroom pizza has sliced portabella mushrooms instead of the canned tasteless mushrooms from most places.",
"This is my go to place for food if I'm in doubt. Their pizza is not my top favorite, but its always good and it's consistant. The sandwiches, especially the fried chicken hoagie, and the chicken pesto panini are amazing. The service is always good, the Mexican fellas that work here are always pleasant and the way they answer the phone is great \"PALLLLERRRMMOOS\". I probably eat here twice a week and when I'm not home I miss Palermos. If I had a sleeve of tattoos, I'd probably get a Palermos sign etched in there somewhere along with my \"I enjoy tacos\" tattoo and a photograph of the artist Nelly's debuit album cover, Country Grammar.",
"NOT the best pizza in the area. Sauce cheese and crust takes an art to be the best. Anyone can make a plain old pie",
"This used to be the best pizza in the area, not anymore. After not grabbing a pie from Palermo's in over 5 years, I was passing by and decided to take one home. In the past, the sauce was the finest, the cheese most delicious, the crust thin and flavorful. But not this time, it was average at best in all categories. It seems not too much effort was expended to keep up their former high quality of taste and prep. I will not go out of my way to go back.",
"The best pizza we've found since moving to the area a few months ago... the portobello white pizza is to die for!!",
"I do like the pizza here. It's incredibly close to home and the thin, slightly chewy crust is very good for the area. We usually get one with peppers, mushrooms, and onions and it always comes with generous portions of toppings. Parking can be a pain but if you order ahead of time, you can usually just go in, pay, and leave with your food.",
"I LOVE the pizza! This is one of my 3 favorite pizza places in the country."

"It's a meat market, catering AND a deli. This review is for the deli.\n\nEvery time I've been it hits the spot. They have great meaty sandwiches like tri tip and pulled pork, with an affordable sandwich-side-drink lunch special. High quality sandwiches. If you're tired of the Sam's To Go or South Coast Deli, this place is an excellent alternative. It never seems to be busy either and the staff always seems to be in a hurry (in a good way), urgently waiting to take your order.",
"This place rocks. The sandwiches are filled with meat! The tri-tip, pastrami, everything is utterly delicious. We really wish we had known about this place earlier on while we were still at UCSB, but better late than never!!! Forget all the other sandwich shops in Santa Barbara, no one we've suggested this place to has had any regrets.",
"I may have mentioned a time or two that i am a big sandwich fan\n\nwell this place makes sandwiches, and makes them well\n\ntrip tip sandwich hot with melted cheese on a roll- consistently amazing\nBBQ pork all sloppy and delicious\nItalian sub with loads of meat\nfresh roast beef, turkey, ham, pastrami\n\ngreat staff that are prompt to serve, they even have a frequent visitor card to be whole punched with each order. (the usually punch it more then once) fill it and you get a free sando\n\nif you like sandwiches, you are doing yourself a dis-service by not trying this place",
"damn. the sandwiches here are goooood. and they're pretty big and hearty. the last two times i've been here was with the bf and we've gotten the hot pastrami sandwich which is great. order a sandwich and it comes with a small side, we usually choose the potato salad and coleslaw which go great with their sandwiches. \n\nonly fall back, i think it can be pretty expensive so i cant eat here often. minus one star for that.",
"No idea how people haven't commented on this business. \n\nThis place is absolutely positively wonderful. \n\nThe tri-tip, steak, pastrami, chicken breast are fabulous. The burgers are great. I like to get sandwiches with a pasta salad and a sparkling soda. \n\nThey also have good cookies.\n\nThe staff is superior. They have some of the best customer service I have ever encountered. \n\nThey also have these stamp cards and when you go there so many times, you get a free combo. \n\nIf you live in Santa Barbara, especially Goleta, you need to go here.",

"Great BIG sandwiches made to order. Hot or cold. Try my favorite. Tri-tip with provolone on French roll heated with everything. Take half home for dinner. This should be in restaurant category!!!!",
"The BEST!\n\nEverything about this place is phenomenal.\n\nI have never actually had their catering, so I can only speak for their sandwiches when I say... '5 STAR'. \n\nI get the Tri-Tip on a wheat roll, but all their Sammy's are worth the trip. The people are very friendly... \n\nJust one trip and you will be hook'ed. Now that I live in SF, it's one of the places I will ALWAYS go back to when I am visiting SB.",
"Country Catering & Meat Market is the BEST!!! The catering is amazing!! My brother used them for his wedding a few years ago, and people loved it. I recently hired them for my wedding and couldn't be happier about the food they made. Steve and his crew are fabulous!! They get back to you right away, they make suggestions for things you can do on your own to save money, their food is wonderful and their prices are the best in town. Many other caterers charge twice the price for mediocre tri-tip. Steve & Co. know what they are doing when they make tri-tip, and they are great at other things as well. We served tri-tip and salmon, and both received rave reviews from our guests. The roasted potatoes on the side were the best potatoes I have ever had! For weddings and parties, you can't do any better than Country Catering!",
"Sweet glorious food/sandwich/meat/breakfast dreams are born here.\nI can't say anything about their catering, but the meat and the deli, WOAH!\nFirst of all for sandwiches, the meat is phenomenal. Their pastrami will knock your pants off. Literally because the sandwich is so good that you'll want to eat the whole thing even though you don't have that much room in your stomach and you'll be forced to do the unbutton.\nI had a hot/toasted smoked turkey with NY muenster cheese, the works on veggie and condiments plus grilled onions & peppers on a whole wheat roll. My boyfriend had a pastrami with jack on a sourdough plus grilled onions and peppers and the works as well. They were both AMAZING. Tasted like heaven. \n\nAaaaand now they are open on Sundays so we went the next day for breakfast. OMG. My boyfriend had french toast, pastrami & egg sliders. So mini french toast pieces sandwiching pastrami and eggs anyway you want them. I had a ginormous breakfast burrito filled with all the grilled veggies, scrambled eggs, and hot pastrami a girl could ever want. They also had a pancake pastrami and egg breakfast.\n\nPLUS the prices are amazing. The meat is all really fresh and as you wait for your glorious food you're completely tempted to buy anything from a rack of lamb to a prime rib roast. It's just amazing. The people are nice, the food is great, and the prices are perhaps too low (not that I'd want to pay more, but I most certainly would without complaint)."

"AWESOME SANDWHICHES HANDS DOWN. Of course it no Po-Boy but when you are looking for a change from the usual Po-Boy and want a AWESOME sub go to Jimmy John's not Subway. Everything is fresh and made FREAKY FAST. The bread is to die for, it so fresh.",
"So Drew Brees brought us a fancy Subway's huh?! HA!\n\nHonestly, I was expecting something bigger and crazier just because Drew Brees has his name in it. The place was pretty small. They advertise themselves as \"Gourmet Sandwiches\". When I think gourmet, I think of Cochun's Butcher block. They have concoctions I've never heard of out there and flavors I don't taste everyday. \n\nThe menu at JJ's is pretty straight forward. Smoked Ham, Turkey, Roast beef, Salami, Capicola...\nI'll admit the bread was pretty good and the meats they used were definitely good quality meat. I know b/c we ordered the JJ Gargantuan and this sub pretty much had every meat offered at JJ's in it!\n\nThe service was super fast. We sat there for about an hour and seen two HUGE rush came in. I guess having 20 employees behind the counter will do that for you. =)\n\nI would definitely order here more often if they had one on the Westbank where I live. If you love Subs, you'll love JJ's. It's not good enough for me to drive 20-25 minutes though. There are just too many good restaurants I can get to in between that distance. =)\n\nI will add that my friend wasn't in the mood for a sub and she couldn't find anything else on their menu to eat. No salads or soups. This place is just straight up subs!\n\nGo BREES! WHO DAT BABY!",
"Woohoo, we've got a Jimmy John's now! \nI love that it's in Metairie because I hate having to go to the busy, touristy sections of the city to eat. It's in a really casual location, so I can grab a sub after my Target shopping. Very convenient.\nI am hooked on their veggie club. I never really enjoy most veggie sandwiches unless I order sauces to hide the mediocre veggies on it. You don't have to use sauces here to have some flavor. I also love that they have sprouts (my fav!) on the menu. The bread is amazingly good.\nEverything is really fresh and doesn't have that \"previously frozen, thawed out\" taste to it. Iced veggies are gross and the flavor is never the same. No iced veggies here, thank goodness.\nIt's the best sub place, hands down. Subway, Quiznos, the rest...they don't even begin to compare. It's an absolute must try!",
"Finally a normal sandwich place!! I have had Jimmy John's before in Austin and was very glad to see that we were getting one. Don't get me wrong I love po-boys, but not having any sort of sentimental attachment to them (aka not being from Louisiana), they can get terribly old sometimes. This leaves you left with Subway--and that lovely Subway smell that lingers all day--for a \"sub\" sandwich..blah! \n\nLet me just start out by saying Jimmy John's is NOT a gourmet sandwich shop. Yes, it says \"gourmet sandwiches\"--it also actually says \"ok, so my sandwiches really aren't gourmet\" on the menu so don't go here expecting some kind of fancy new take on sandwich combinations. \n\nThese are normal run of the mill turkey, roast beef, blt, ham, italian (salami and capicola), etc. sandwiches. Some of them have cheese, some of them have avocado and they do take add-ons (for example I like to get the smaller \"turkey tom\" and add avocado instead of getting the double meat \"beach club\"). The main claim to fame here is that they're just good quality ingredients and they are FAST (\"freaky fast\" in fact). \n\nThe french bread is good and more of the soft variety than typically dry po-boy french bread. They have a 7 grain regular sliced bread that is a little thick, but good. You can also get an \"unwich\"--any sandwich on the menu wrapped in lettuce instead of on bread, which is actually pretty great.\n\nThey have their own chips (not sure if they make them or not, but they are distributed by Jimmy John's) and their own cookies (made with real ingredients like flour, butter, and brown sugar with no crazy fillers or preservatives). Maybe it's just me, but the chips seems to have a lot more in the bag than typical main stream brands of kettle style chips.\n\nLike I said, this is not some kind of novel sandwich shop, but it is good and if you are tired of po-boys and subway it will definitely hit the spot. The location is a good one, we have been twice and haven't gone inside yet, but the drive-thru moves super fast. Thanks Drew!!\n \nAlso, at some other locations they stay open as late as 2 or 3 in the morning, but as of now the Metairie shop is only open until 10pm.",
"I liked it. I love the smell of fresh baked bread and all the cute various signs. I've never had a sandwich with sprouts and I have to say I don't like it. i was kind of disappointed they did not offer any kind of chicken sandwich even subways and quiznos offers that.\n\nService wasnt great the girl at the counter looked like she didnt want to be there and i could barely hear a word she said when i asked her questions.All in all pretty affordable for the amount of food you get\n\nNext time I wanna try a sandwich with 7 grain bread plain with just cheese and meat.",
"I love Drew Brees. Yeah, there was that whole Super Bowl thing once upon a time... but now, more importantly, he brought a Jimmy John's to NOLA! Well, the 'burbs, but NOLA enough for me.\n\nMuch like Drew, I went to college in Indiana. While most of the time I tried my best to avoid chain restaurants, Jimmy John's was a frequent quick takeout/delivery treat. Fresh bread, fresh toppings, \"freaky fast\" service, cheap eats - you can't go wrong! It's better in terms of quality and service than Subway, at a comparable price. \n\nThe only chain sandwich shop that I would trade Jimmy John's for would be a Panera Bread (maybe another Saints player can open one of those, preferably on the Westbank... hmmm).\n\nAnyway, this location was a little confusing upon entering, especially during the busy lunch hour rush. You walk in, go past the line of people waiting for food, and head to the counter where the cash registers are. Place your order, then go wait for your sandwich to be made. They'll call your order out, so be sure to be listening... and remember what you ordered! \n\nFeel free to customize your sandwich. Personally, I hate mayo, so my usual is a Turkey Tom with their sauce instead of mayo. Mmm. $4.89 after tax, and worth every penny.\n\nThe service was friendly, and for the huge lunch crowd, I'll consider it to be freaky fast. Gourmet sandwiches? Maybe not, but it beats fried po boy options and is better than the other chain sandwich places. I'll take it!",
"I was very happy to be surprised by a Jimmy John's dropping in Metairie; I always enjoyed the High Street location in Columbus, Ohio.\n\nA no-frills, fast, (genuinely) fresh sandwich shop, this place doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's quite a rarity in New Orleans, where delis and burger shops seem to be jockeying for attention these days. Great quality meat and fresh-baked bread that's never dry or crumbly. Very garden-y jalapeño potato chips. And - let the people rejoice - Cherry Coke at the fountain! Did I mention delivery? Yeah, FAST delivery.\n\nYou can walk out of here with a sandwich, chips, and a drink for less than eight dollars. You can do the same at Subway, sure, but after eating at JJ's you'll realize that Subway is only fit for punishing your kids for bad grades or misbehavior.",
"Extremely simple, good flavor from the Vito sandwich, very fast delivery. Unlike Subway and Quizno's, you do not get to choose your toppings or extra condiments (hence the superfast speed between ordering & receiving my sandwich). But the taste of the meats and the bread outweigh this small negative point.",
"Its like a subway with less choices. \n-only one size sandwich(white loaf or wheat thick sliced)\n-no low fat condiments\n-basic sandwich toppings only plus avocado spread\n-the bread isnt crunchy like french bread but isnt as soft as subway breads \n-3 types of chips\n-2 different types of cookie\n-no kids meals\n-very small interior, one 6 person booth, 4 4 person booths and 2 2 person booths. if you go during a busy time plan on taking it to go or go thru the drive thru. \n-they do have 15 people working at the same time so it will be FAST",
"Sorry, I love New Orleans po'boys. Nice try though. \n\nThe ham was pretty good. The multigrain bread was not. To me its too much like suybway or quizno's and I usually don't eat those places. Very doubtful I will be returning here. \n\nSee Kris A.'s review for the low down on the place."

"The coffee scene in Pitman is sorely lacking, so I was excited when Endgrain recently opened up. I've tried the latte, drip coffee, and nitro iced coffee and haven't been impressed with any of them. Each beverage was just OK (kind of watery, not strongly flavored at all) with the drip coffee probably being the best option.",
"This place is literally the bee's knees. If it were possible for an establishment to hold pollen underneath it to later be used to produce a pleasant, sweet nectar, it would be this one. However, instead of using pollen to generate honey, it was a personal decision of the owner to blend high quality beans to concoct a beautiful mixture of exquisitely bitter and lusciously sweet coffee. \n\nAs someone who is ferociously and violently particular about the conduit of their caffeine intake, I can say without hesitation that the product of this institution is that of the highest caliber. \n\nUpon entering the store front, your nostrils will be smashed with the palpable aroma only comparable to that of a chocolate freight train screeching through two miniature train stations. While initially jarring, I managed to leave entirely unscathed with a delectable cup of nitrogen infused, cold brewed coffee.\n\nI would recommend it.",
"The coffee was really good. Everyone was nice. The shop is small, so it's definitely a place to grab some coffee and go check out the rest of Pitman. I'll go again.",
"Just visited Endgrain for the first time and am throughly enjoying my Nitro Iced Coffee. If your a fan of coffee and/or beer, then you'll love this drink. Can't wait to try out the rest of the menu as well. Definitely a great addition to not just Pitman but the coffee scene in South Jersey overall.",
"The drip coffee here is amazing. I feel ridiculous saying that, but when you are a coffee shop, you should get that right. They also have a cold brew that they bottle and keep deliciously cold. They have a lot of unique options that I hope to try in the future like pour overs and nitro iced coffee. The tiny space in the tiny town is perfect. It has a vibrant energy and decor fueled by spinning records, local cyclists, residents, and business owners.",
"Such a cute little addition to downtown Pitman! I am so happy to see places like this pop up here! \n\nThis is an adorable little European style coffee house also selling a small assortment of pastry. There are a few tables with chairs and some seats at a window facing bar. I could totally see this place in some small side street in Rome. \n\nBut, most importantly, amazing coffee! Pick from drip, pour over, nitro and coffee drinks (espresso, cappuccino etc). The pasty is good. They also have a small assortment of cold drinks in a small fridge. \n\nThe baristas have always been nice, cheery and pleasant. \n\n\nAll the best to you Endgrain.",
"This coffee shop is such a find! I stopped in for an iced latte which was the best I've had, but I also had to try their Affogato which is espresso over vanilla ice cream. Delicious! \nAsk Joe the owner about his special drinks, because there are far too many to include on his blackboard. Will need to make this a new favorite stop!",
"Endgrain has become my go to cafe. Everything they serve from the nitro, to the drip,to the pour over has been bursting with flavor. Mighty fine espresso too! Check this place out for sure.",
"It's sad that more coffee shops are not opening in Pitman. EndGrain is a cute (small) outpost just off Broadway. Nice decor. great Coffee... I had a Caffe Latte. I'll be back!"

"I am a total taco addict. (Isn't the first step to recovery admitting my addiction?)\n\nThat being said, I didn't love Morelia. The ambiance was decent, the service was prompt and friendly but I feel like the food fell short of good. The enchiladas would fine (but I wouldn't call them good), the quesadillas were decent and the tacos deserve 3 stars...\n\nThis is one of those Mexican restaurants where everything on your place runs together and congeals. I don't necessarily have a problem with that kind of Mexican food, but when you have something not-so-good on your plate, it can be a bad thing.\n\nI'd go back but only because there are only a few decent Mexican restaurants in Delaware.",
"looking for what I call street mexican, plain mexican food. Was very impressed, 3 in the afternoon, ordered a chicken quesadilla and cheese enchiladas. chips were very good, but the mole sauce was excellent. Both entrées were very good with a great chipotle taste. one of the better street meals I've encountered.",
"Morelia started off with no name, but they finally got a name so you call them something other then \"that mexican place\". The restaurant is convenient and easy to get to, especially if you work in the area.\n\nThe food was very good, i went with a pork burrito for lunch. The tortilla was fairly standard fair, but the pork filling was tender and juicy. While good the pork did not have a rich complex smokey flavor that would have pushed it up to 4 stars.\n\nRice was well cooked without hard areas or mushy portions. Beans were average, not bad but nothing out of the ordinary (they are beans after all).\n\nThe chips were crisp and salty with a great fresh salsa. The tomatoes were firm and juicy with fresh onions with just enough bite to them but not to overpower the salsa. There were also hints of citrus that brightened up the flavor a bit.\n\nThe service was excellent. Wait staff was quick, polite, and efficient. Food was made, plated, and served very fast during lunch.\n\nOverall I am very happy with Morelia for a lunch during the work day that can get you back to the office in a reasonable amount of time with good food. As a plus you do not leave smelling like the food or smoke.",
"This is mexican done right I abso- despise La tolteca and its chain bull s*&t food .\n have eaten here countless times. at one point when i worked in newark i got my weekly fix. I am however the type of person who orders the same thing everytime i go -Cheese enchiladas with the mole sauce and rice , marggie or a pacifico to wash it all down with.\n\nOH the rice -its fluffy and fried all at the same time and the veggies add a hint of healthy eating ! This is mexican done right.\nchips and salsa cant get enough of it ... the spciey sauce is perfect for pouring on top of my enchilada and pairs of so well with a mexican inspired cocktail.\n\nthe have put fish tacos on the menu so i may have to try something new.",
"I've eaten here twice, once at night and then again for lunch. Let me say this now, only go here for dinner. Dinner was wonderful, the food was fresh and delicious, the service was remarkable, and the atmosphere was authentic. Lunch didn't go so well, it wasn't nearly as fresh and was more congealed than anything. It just wasn't that great, but if you're sticking to dinner, I would definitely plan it here.",
"Please. Open the door to air thick with fryer grease and a waitress whose pretty smile was her redeemer. The food tasted like Burger King with added jalapenos. I have found that most ethnic restaurants 'Americanize\" their food for our enjoyment, but they have taken it too far, or low as the case may be.\nIf you like fat fast food then you'll like Morelia. If you want more authentic Mexican food try El Jefe on Kirkwood Highway.",
"Great spot for a lunch or happy hour. Delicious guacamole and low prices! Went on a Saturday for apps and drinks. My bill came to like $13 for a beer, margarita and quesadilla.",
"My husband loves this place, and we eat here on average about every 2 weeks. I give the restaurant 3 stars because sometimes the service can be hit or miss, mostly it's on point. I also think it's a bit overpriced for Mexican food, compared to the other restaurants I've been to. I also wish their combination section was better. My husband bounces between the enchilada's supreme and the house platter, and he orders it with fajita chicken (not shredded), and it's never a problem. The queso is legit, as well as the pico that comes with the chips and salsa!",
"I went here last night. The food was bland, the prices too high and the portions were small.\n\nThe only good thing was the beer.",
"Love this place. It's definitely one of those unique finds. I feel like many people overlook it. Perhaps the location? Not sure however I know I love it. The staff has always been very friendly and very attentive. The food is amazing and the prices are not bad either. Definitely recommend checking this place out."

"Ample parking.\nService was average, could be better.\nFood was okay.\n\nI had the steak and rib combo. Average.\n\nThey should learn from Outback. Nothing personal",
"The food is pretty good but the service really varies. Sometimes it can be downright lousy.",
"The food... especially Steak is just great! I have always had good service here with people that know the menu. My only complaint here like most places in this area is the waiting list! Unless you time it right or on the right day it gets impossible to dine. Sometimes the wait is an hour in which case we look elsewhere!",
"Consistently decent - usually sit in the bar area, but the service varies here as well. BBQ Chicken Nachos are a standby of ours, and there is a chicken salad with walnuts that is very good.",
"This is one of my favorite places for a high quality, reasonably priced meal for both me and the family.\nFirst, I cannot recall a time in which the service has been sub par.\nSecond, if you have young children this place is not only entertaining with Moxy the talking moose and other creatures, but their children's menu is more than just grilled cheese and fries(but those are still an option, if you must).\nThe food here is so good that in a number of trips I find myself always ordering the same two or three menu items. They also have a frequent diner program that emails coupons monthly (usually for $10 off) and you can get $10 or $20 gift certificates with accumulated spending of $300 or more(I think).\nThey also double the points for the frequent dining program on Monday's.\n\nThis is pretty much my favorite chain steak house: A great place for a date, group or if you have kids!",
"My husband and I drove down here from Philly because the one near us closed. We were so upset, Bugaboo was one of our favorite \"date\" places. \n\nI like that they give you the warm bread and butter to start, because we usually come hungry.\n\nHubs always orders the Moosebreath burger with mashed potatoes and loves it every time. Dare I say it ranks as his #1 burger, and he knows burgers! I have tried a few things off the menu and have never been disappointed.\n\nSome items I have tried and liked - bbq chicken nachos, snowbird chicken, bleu mountain steak salad, the trout and salmon and sirloin skillet tips. I think that is most of the menu. :)\n\nThe restaurant is usually filled with kids who want to see the talking moose, so if that is a negative for you, you might want to sit at the bar.",
"Bugaboo falls short of what it proposes but then again, this is Delaware...a place where there are lines to get into the Olive Garden!! As one can expect in Delaware, the food scene is amateurish at best. \n\nThe steaks are OK but seriously lacked flavor. However, the steaks are cooked exactly how one orders. Skip the demi-glace option since it is not worth it! It was watery and tasteless. \n\nI was with a group of 12 and the service was horrible! The management staff could have planned this better. \n\nA plus point is the decor of the interior! Very cool!",
"Best Steak house I have ever been too! Love the Pinapple Moose Juice! The Steaks are way better then Outback or Texas Road House! Recommend to anyone that likes steak! \n\nTons of Flavor! Great sides as well! Never any issues.",
"Not like I remembered... It use to be much better service and food years ago when I lived in the area. After traveling for about a hour, it could have been a better experience for mother's day. I suspect my mother felt the same because she mentioned that we never have to come back. It may have been due to the toughness of her steak or the dryness of her bbq ribs. She asked from extra bbq sauced and she waited 5 minutes for the server to bring it before she would touch the ribs again. That was definitely a sign. My chicken was okay but a little flavorless. Maybe next time...",
"This place had EXCEPTIONAL customer service! After visiting several other restaurant establishments with wait times over 45 mins and staff who just didn't seem to care, Bugaboo Steakhouse welcomed out party of twelve with open arms and only a 35 min wait. \n\nThe General Manager, Robert Ford, is outstanding and master of providing customers with quality customer service. Upon noticing our wait and how patient we had been for our table, he offered us two complimentary appetizers; buffalo nachos and a sampler. They came out quickly and were very tasty. \n\nOur server was quick and friendly. Made sure our drinks were refilled before we even asked. Orders were accurate. \n\nI ordered the prime rib which I wanted med-well. I had gotten it well done. I brought my issue to the servers attention and she took it back and got me a whole new plate. The final try was an outstanding piece of prime rib. \n\nI also would like to mention that I received a free dessert thanks to my first check-in. I ordered the bananas foster which was really good and enough to share.\n\nI can only hope the other chains of this restaurant here at home offer the same high quality service and food. Will be the Duchess of this place real soon!"

"Another healthy lunch option in Rittenhouse! Don't be frightened by the long line as it moves quickly and the employees greet you while in line to take your order. They have seasonal salads as well as classics, like Caesar. You can also build your own. They have wraps and bowls for those who want something more substantial although their salads are pretty hefty and filling! You can grab a reusable and washable bowl and receive 2 free toppings whenever you use your bowl. Most salads will run you about $8-9 - kinda pricey but better than making a poor lunch decision! \n\nCome if you're in a hurry and want something light, tasty and healthy.",
"I was actually on my way to sweetgreen and gave this place a shot because I was too lazy to walk. \n\nVerdict: I like it better than sweetgreen. The metallic surfaces here and compostable bowls remind me of it, but the overall ingredients just taste more fresh. More salad options, dressings are delicious, and the staff are all so friendly. \n\nPopular salads:\nThe California\nThai Chicken Crunch\nBuffalo Chicken",
"Where has this place been all my life? I walked from 16th and Market, where they have a sweetgreen in my building, just to give it a try. When I arrived at Just Salad there was only one person in line, well... they just opened so I figured that much. The girl at the end helped me with figuring out the menu. I built my own salad and took one piece of bread of the two they offered me (It is summer!) I would have ate there due to the ambiance and modern feel but had a meeting. They packaged me up to go perfectly with a funny napkin that says, \"no fake sh*t.\" Well, I just took a bite and everything is so fresh and delicious! The rosemary in the bread is well worth a slice. I will be back. Sorry Duane Morris, Sweetgreen and Salad Works... Just Salad stole me today. Great service, awesome food!",
"So happy this finally opened in Philly! This was my go to lunch spot when I lived in NYC. It is just as good or even better as I remember!",
"This place is fantastic. Tons of options and fresh ingredients. Not \"just salads\" as the name would have you believe but also a wraps and bowls. I started with the Buffalo chicken salad which was great and I added their crispy onions. Yummy! Their poblano ranch is heaven. Can't wait to make this my new go to salad spot. \n\nIf you reuse your bowl- they offer discounts. Like $1 off or free cheese add on. Who doesn't love cheese ??",
"I got the Barbacoa bowl with brown rice and broccoli. It was a bit spicy but underwhelming in taste. My husband got the a turkey salad and it was also a bit bland in flavor.\n\nThe decor is nicely done and the staff was very friendly. \n\nThe con is Sweet Greens is down the street and their salads are so much better in comparison.",
"There are multiple salad options in Philadelphia, especially if you live downtown, but Just Salad is my new go-to lunch spot (even though I live next door to honeygrow!). The selections here are what make this place stand out from the others. I, for one, am tired of the uninspiring salads at other chains (hint: sweetgreen). Just Salad brings a new perspective to the table. I had their Greek salad this weekend and absolutely loved it. If you put picked onions on anything, I am won over. I also am excited to try their Buffalo Chicken salad which miraculously has less than 500 calories. The service was particularly friendly, allowing me to sample my dressing beforehand. I was also given a free sample of a peanut butter shake at the door which was out of this world good. I don't often buy smoothies out, because I can make most at home, but at only $5.99 I would definitely consider buying these as a meal replacement or adjunct. I also appreciated that the manager seemed to be sitting with the customers doing work on his computer while people ate. It gave the feeling that this new place is open to feedback and values customer opinions. They are a welcome addition to the neighborhood!",
"Not just a salad place, but also has soups, grain bowls, avocado toast, and smoothies! I came here around noon and was in and out very quick. The employees here are very friendly. An employee takes your order while you are in line on paper, and then you bring your order paper slip to the bar for them to make your salad. This place is a lot faster than sweet green. I ordered The California salad and came with romaine, chicken, avo, egg whites, toasted almonds and tomatoes.",
"A delicious salad! I chose the create your own which includes your choice of lettuce and 4 toppings (extra toppings for extra $). They have a good variety and the ingredients were really fresh. Great salad bar!",
"My new favorite salad place! I usually go to Sweet Green but was really craving a southwest salad from Saladworks today. I stumbled upon this place on my way to Liberty Place and am so glad I did! Like Sweet Green, they have lots of organic ingredients. Unlike Sweet Green, they have so many popular salad and wrap options like buffalo chicken. I tried the Chipotle Cowboy and it was incredible. All the ingredients were so fresh and the flavors were on point. There are 4 other things I can't wait to try, so I'll definitely be back soon! Bonus: the staff was ridiculously friendly- it was insane but lovely!"

"I have had roughly 5 of the sandwiches offered and they were all terrific. All of the sandwiches have names inspired by St. Louis' local sports teams. My two currant favorites are the St. Louis blues special, it has a awesome olive spread on it, and the Little Mac(get it hot). Most cost around five bucks. Service at the meat counter is always fast and friendly. Although you wont be saving any money on the cuts, I''ll happily pay the extra to support such a fantastic locally owned business. Legrands boasts a small but decent selection of wine and beer, to compliment you choice. Don't forget to grab some dessert on your way out, the gooey butter cookies are something you won't want to share.",
"Mom's deli around the corner seems to get all the love, but color me a Legrand's man. This is not really a hardcore foodie place, but just a spot to get a good honest sandwich. As mentioned, a lot of the sandwiches are named after STL teams/athletes (McGwire sub may or may not contain HGH) and I have never been dissapointed by any of them. They also have some serious old man choices like braunschweiger and onions* which is nice.\n\n*it may not be enitrely fair to characterize braunschweiger as old man food, especially considering that at the age of 21, a friend of mine in college ate braunschweiger, onions, and Old Style beer exclusively for an entire semester. Still, I would estimate that 90% of the braunschweiger consuming public served in at least one world war and have guts that, although round, are hard as a rock.\n\nI have had several items from the meat counter (nothing too exotic: steaks, brats, and burgers) and have been satisfied with all of them. Sometimes they have a smoker fired up in the parking lot, but I haven't gotten around to trying any of that stuff yet, although I plan to.\n\nFor what it is, I would give Legrand's five stars, but I feel like I should keep a few arrows in the quiver for the best-of-the-best sandwiches in town, so I give it four enthusiastic stars.\n\nDo yourself a favor and go to Legrand's this summer on one of those awful hot and muggy days, get one of the spicy sandwiches and a sweet-as-snowcone syrup Vess Pineapple and you are in for a classic South City afternoon.",
"LeGrand's is located in the beautiful St. Louis Hills neighborhood, just blocks from Francis Park. So, if you're in the market for a topnotch picnic to take to the park or to sit outside at a table... this is your place! Sub sandwiches are their specialty, they also have some great desserts and a ittle market.\n\nThe meat counter is what draws me to LeGrand's. If you want hard to find, high quality meats, call ahead and you will have it by the following Tuesday. I recently got some alligator tail meat from them for a cooking competition I was in and the quality was unbelievable!!\n\nService is impeccable at sandwich and meat counters! And if you're in the market for a wedding cake.... they have those too!!",
"LeGrand's is the quintessential St. Louis deli. I stopped in last week and grabbed an Edmonds sandwich. Ham, Pepperoni, Salami, Turkey, Swiss & Provel Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Sauce on a warm sandwich...just thinking about it makes me hungry. \n\nEditor's Note: It is now okay for me, a Cub fan, to eat and Edmonds sandwich after Jimmy played for the Cubs last year. \n\nThere are huge debates in STL about which is better, Mom's Deil or LeGrand's. In my opinion, between the two, LeGrand's wins out. I can't really put my finger on it but I just like the variety and the sandwich combinations better. Try them both and fuel the debate!",
"It takes a lot to get 5 stars from me, but I think these are 5 star sandwiches! \n\nEvery time I come down to visit my brother and his family, I look forward to getting lunch from Legrand's! Every different sandwich I have had has been great. I always get them hot. \n\nThe That's Amore can't be beat for an all around sandwich. There are so many different sandwiches, that when you walk in step back and go over the lists before stepping forward to order. \n\nThis is a must visit when in Saint Louis! \n\nThe people working there have been great. They are always friendly and helpful. \n\nI will be back!",
"Boar's Head meats, great service, awesome selection and prices that won't hurt. I usually go once a week since I live and work a couple blocks away. Subway, Quiznos taste like garbage after places like Legrand's, Blue's City Deli, and Mom's. \nI echo everyone else's comments below, the only thing I'd add is my favorite sandwich is the Legrand Slam. Most sandwiches are 4.5 to 5 bucks. Get a water from the soda fountain for free and a Uncle Rays chips for 69 cents and you'll be eating for under 6 bucks.",
"Sorry about this, but what a disappointment. Went here yesterday and got the meatball sandwich. The man behind the counter said it was the best in St. Louis. NOT TRUE!! \nI got home and opened a cheesy mess with tasteless meatballs and tomato sauce that was bland, at best. \nNo Vess soda is sold here anymore. Just an average sub shop and I don't think I'll be back.",
"Okay...Okay...thought I'd give it another shot. We went here for another try hoping for better then last time. \nGosh, I really want to like this place. I ordered a typical poor boy and one bite into it I discovered it was Miracle Whip!!! \nI went up to counter and asked for Hellman's. I was told they do not carry Hellmans!!!!!! I asked for her to redo the sandwich, which she did. \nThen I saw packets of Hellman's (diet) on the counter, so I took a few, thinking I would put it on myself. Okay, so I get my poor boy and I'll be danged if she didn't put on some JUNKIE stuff that tasted awful. Again, I went to counter to ask what the stuff was. She told me she had put some horseradish sauce on it because I didn't want the MW on!\nI really don't want to be a jerk here and maybe she was new or something BUT no more trying to make it work for me!!!",
"i have had the Legend (the sandwich holds up to it's name!) twice now and my ONLY complaint with it is that it's not hot enough. not spice wise, i mean temperature. \n\nit's cheap, staff is friendly and i will naturally be back. go!",
"I first stopped by here trying to escape the line at BreadCo. I haven't looked back since. \n\nThe meat to bread to sauce/cheese ratio is just perfect. They have huge variety of fantastically delicious sandwiches. I've never had a bad sandwich here, and even leftovers (if have any) are amazing. Most sandwiches are less than 5 bucks. You should try the Legend Club, the little hitman, or the Italian Stallion. \n\nI regularly crave their sandwiches, even though I no longer live in St. Louis. I doubt you'll find better sandwiches in St. Louis, trust me, I've looked."

"Like many in the Mt. Juliet/Lebanon area, i was looking forward to a true craft beer establishment in the neighborhood. This place hit it out of the park. My wife and I spent the better part of the afternoon there yesterday. Over 25 diverse craft beer selections from IPA's (of course), Goses, Saisons, Sours, Wheats, Browns and Porters. (High gravity beer coming soon as there is an additional license to be obtained for such.) A beer for every taste palate. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff. As to the food, the menu is diverse and the food well presented. I had their pork belly appetizer which was more of a full meal and my wife had their Cuban sandwich which was very large and my wife said was wonderful. Their seasoned fries were spectacular. From what we saw of our meals and those of other diners, the portions bordered on the \"too much to eat\" size. No complaints here. Catch 22 is well worth a visit and I am certain the crowds will only get larger and larger.",
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally a great quality dining option on the north side of MJ! \n\nThis place is SO needed and SO wanted, they have SOLD OUT of food for the day. (Hey, it's day # 5, and a soft opening, so it's to be expected... I bet they didn't realize just how starved MJ really is on the north side!)\n\nWe will be back!\n\nPS - These guys know how to run a successful business and they have acquired great staff! We had excellent service!",
"My first visit... wont be my last. Great atmosphere - up beat. Lots of beer choices and wonderful service. Perfect for lunch... and when they open for their full hours it will be great for after work drinks. Ask for Megan if you are being seated or see Miranda if you go to the bar!!",
"The best and most fun restaurant I've been to in a great while! The craft beer selection is great but the food is off the damn charts!!! Take my word for it, get the chef burger!!! My wife had the tacos. Delicious!!! Brandy was our waitress and she is a lot of fun!! We will certainly come back to Catch 22 for Date Day or family dinner!! I'd advise you too as well if you're reading this!!!",
"We got fish and chips, BA Burger, potato salad and green chili cheddar grits. Fish and spicy tartar sauce was very good, burger was dry, fries were good. I liked the potato salad, but my wife did not. Grits were good when really hot, but quickly cooled and were not that tasty then. Our server Brittany was helpful and responsive in spite of having large group next to us ordering lots of different IPA's",
"Just want the city needed. We went for lunch on a Thursday afternoon it's opening and was seated immediately. We had wings and pork rinds for appetizer with Mac n cheese and haberano burger. The meals were huge portions and packed full of flavor. I'm definitely returning.",
"Highly recommend. The staff is furiously attending to the packed house and doing a great job. The menu is wide ranging. There is something here for the pickiest of foodies. Try it, you'll like it‼ and",
"Went the other day, and the food is amazing.. Brussels sprouts were so good. My husband had the house burger, the bacon jam on it is amazing. So glad to have a GOOD restaurant in mount juliet..",
"The 3 little pigs bbq Mac and cheese is the sh*t! Portion was huge! Order it if you know what's good for you. Takedown tacos were awesome! I know this because I'm Mexican. Pretzel is huge and . Husband also ordered beer but I cannot provide any feedback as I only drink tequila. We'll definitely be back.",
"I'm pretty impressed. As an out of towner visiting, me and my girlfriend decided to give this place a try based on other reviews. We got the filthy fries with the pork and they were incredible. The \"liquid gold\" (homemade sauce) added on was memorable.\n\nMy girlfriend got the BA burger and thought that it was good.\n\nI got the chefs choice and that was a fantastic decision. I got a burger with pepperjack, avocado, Jamaican jerk pineapple, and fried ham. It definitely showed the skill level of the chef. Would go here a hundred times over."

"Best tacos and menudo ever!!! I'm so happy this place has opened you have found a forever customer! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu!",
"\"Street\" tacos and tamales, oh my. And guacamole deliciousness, too. This place started as a carry-out kitchen in the back of a Mexican grocery. They've now expanded and have a place to sit and eat, so grab a beverage from the cooler, order your food at the counter and enjoy the deliciousness. Ask for the daily special, too. Examples include chicken mole and menudo.",
"Fantastic find! \n\nI've been on the hunt for authentic \"street tacos\" in West County, and this place is great. Very clean, friendly owners. Spoke with one of the owners, Margaret, and she said they just opened and are expanding the space. They also have a grocery area with imported Mexican products and meats/veggies.\n\nFood was amazing! Hot, fresh, and very tasty.",
"Simply the best Mexican food in West County!!! The food is fresh...I mean stupid fresh!!! You can tell that they take pride in offering thier culture on a plate. The tacos are amazing, the tortas are HUGE!!!! Each meal as been full of bold flavors! The owners are awesome and the staff as well. If you are tired of run-of-the-mill Mexican food...this is your mana from heaven!!",
"We stopped by to pick up some Yucateca and some cold drinks on this warm winter day! Great little mexican grocer that also serves a full fresh menu of tacos, tortas etc. We will continue to frequent them.",
"I ordered tacos (pastor and carnitas) and a tamale. They were very good. Hubs ordered Steak Milanesa torta witha \"everything\". He did not know that \"everything\" meant steak PLUS ham, 2 kinds of cheese, refried beans, Adobe sauce, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, cilantro, sour cream... it was a delish messy beast. \n\nService was fast and friendly. Menu prices on point \n\nThe grocery part was nicely stocked. Nice to have a place to get some imported goods.\n\nIts a little bit of Cherokee Street in West County. We'll be back!",
"Ended up here after another yelp listed place was closed, despite the hours posted on Yelp.\n\nOrdered chips and salsa and a barbacoa taco (we are out) - okay, scratch that -- an al pastor taco -- and a steak taco.\n\nThe chips arrived quickly.they were cold and a little greasy and, I think, made from flour tortillas (kinda puffy) rather than corn. They still had a good tast though. The salsa was aMAzing!\n\nThe tacos? My gosh. These are the most honest street tacos I've had in years (and I'm from LA). The al pastor meat was the perfect red color and taste of citrus and spice. The steak -- delicious and not cooked into wallet leather like so many places -- all served on soft warm corn tortillas with cilantro and onion. This hit my taco button in a big way.\n\nThe seating area is spartan: no pictures on the wall, no TV; just a few wooden tables in a room. Still, I don't think you're coming for faux Mexican ambiance \n\nAll in all -- I'm glad the other place was closed. From now on, when I crave tacos in St Louis, this is where I'm headed!",
"First time in so we decided to order several dishes and share - carnitas torta, tamales, and chile rellenos. Everything was very good but we enjoyed the torta and tamales the most. The chile rellenos were the daily special and came with a ground beef filling, I prefer a cheese filling but the batter on the pepper and the sauce where very good. The day we came the tamales where filled with chicken, they were very flavorful and not dried out. The torta with everything is huge! We will definitely be back for another torta and to give the tacos a try. While the dining space is not huge the service was prompt. I did not see any high chairs but they did offer to bring out some sliced avocado for my 9 month old which was very kind.",
"Great food. This place recently opened and I think they are getting better by the day. Definitely better and closer than The authentic taco joints on Cherokee St.",
"Have been going here a few months now & after trying most of the menu & enjoying all of it, the tacos keep calling my name. The owner Fausto & his sweet wife are awesome people & they make this such a unique place to visit. Ah, the Al pastor! I learned that this is a mix of pork shoulder & pork tenderlon that is marinated in the traditional way for Al pastor but is cooked on the flat top freshly to order. My favorite taco anywhere. The other great tacos are the pollo with napolitos (cactus) & the steak which is made from fresh ribeye. It is awesome to see this little gem gaining popularity & hopefully it will continue as it is very good & authentic hispanic food. All of Fausto's sauces are home made as well & though they are all above average, the verde is some of the best I have tried. They also sell a surprisingly large variety of hispanic groceries, bakery goods & fresh produce, cheeses, chorizo & much more. You will not be disappointed at El Toluco!"

"The Spot food truck is amazing! I've been here at least 5 times since they opened, which was about 3 weeks ago. The guys who work here already know my name and what I'm going to order.\n\nThe prices are pretty good. It's a little more expensive than a normal food truck, but it's well worth the price. You can get a burger with unlimited toppings for $6 (I do avocado, grilled onions, cheese, bacon, black pepper, and mayo) with great fries and a drink for an extra $3. I don't think $9 for all that is too unreasonable.\n\nIn my opinion, the only place that rivals the spot in terms of burgers in the rest of University City is Bobby's Burger Palace, but the same thing will cost you around $14 and a lot more time.\n\nIn terms of the cheesesteak, it is one of the best I've ever eaten. The cheesesteak is made from thick, juicy steak and you can get whatever you want on it. I haven't tried the spot dog or pulled pork.\n\nOverall, this place is probably the best food truck that I've tried on Drexel's campus. Go here and try it!",
"Visited this place during my first trip to Drexel's \"Food Truck Row\", and I was very impressed! I ordered a cheesesteak with whiz and onions, and the meat was much tastier and flavorful than any other cheesesteak I've ordered in University City. He said they cut all the sirloin themselves, and it shows!",
"I decided to make my own burger and had avocado, grilled onions, mushrooms and smoked mozzarella and bacon with the spot sauce on the side. They didn't ask me how I wanted my burger and when I looked at it, it was about medium (a touch of pink inside, which is okay but not great for me).\n\nThe spot sauce was tomato based when I asked. It really kinda tasted like ketchup and mustard mixed together. I didn't like how the bread was cold and hard. They need to grill up the bread or something. \n\nThe fries were better than the burger. They were hand cut and fried and greased through the bag. But it was indulgent and I'd get them again if I was craving french fries. The burger wasn't spectacular but I'd give it another try if I was in the area.",
"had spots burger for the first time last week at the fishtown food truck popup and so glad i gave them a try. i picked a burger from the menu and the name escapes me but it was spicy with pepper jack and was awesome. they have the old style glass coke bottles too which goes perfect with a juicy burger.",
"Yes marks the spot!.\n\nShort and sweet\nFind \nEat\nRepeat.\n\nWe found this amazing yellow temptress on wheels at a First Friday \"Pop up\" On Frankford Ave. \n\nMan oh man are those Drexel kids that have this nearby some lucky bastards.\n\nWhen I was that age, outdoor gourmet was, maybe, you sprinkled some BBQ chip shavings onto your hot dog. Chipotle on the cheap. \n\nAnyhow- The spot hits the spot. Check 'em out.",
"Best burger ever! It's a food truck so the service is quick but the bonus is the friendliness. Gosh, I feel like they're my BFF's everytime I place an order. Guy who owns the truck cooks all the food and really seems to enjoy what he's doing. Never too stressed to give a shout out, say thanks for the business or crack a joke when appropriate. That's a rare skill when the orders are rolling in at such a fast pace. \n\nA few (very) different styles of burgers along with a BYO option. My fave is the Roquefort which features balsamic reduction and grilled onions (licking my lips) but I've also tried the Umami which has pickled daikon. They're all delish. Just try them all!\n\nI think it's cool that they have one person on the street taking orders while the owner cooks in the back. It makes for more of an experience and less transactional when the person is standing there on the sidewalk chatting with you as you order, pay, and wait. Big plus there!\n\nThey're usually on Drexel U's campus so it's a hike if you're not already in the area but it's worth it. There's street parking right in front of the truck so no hassle there. \n\nBest part: All the meat is ground in the truck. The result? The most juicy and succulent burger your mouth has ever experienced. Even the buns deserve a shout out (woop woop to the Conshohocken Bread Company)! And the fries are tasty too.\n\nSpot became a quick favorite in my office when it appeared here sometime earlier this year. We all love it! You will too. I just know it.",
"I walked by Spot Gourmet Burgers, Steaks & Pork plenty of times not sure how interested I was in getting burgers from a food truck. I guess, to me, that seems like fairly standard fare, especially given some of the more novel truck concepts around 33rd and Arch. \n\nI did find myself at Spot, however, after my partner saw on Twitter that they were going to have Sloppy Joes. It had been ages since either of us had one, so we decided getting some would be a fun treat, and we were very glad that we did. The sandwiches were very flavorful on buns that stood up to the task. They were fresh and soft and slightly sweet but did not fall apart and soaked up the sauce nicely. The sauce wasn't anything overly complicated but very good.\n\nWe were impressed enough with these sandwiches that we went back a couple of days later. My partner was enticed by their announcement that they were going to have lobster rolls, but when we got there (just a few minutes after noon) they were already sold out. Instead, she got the Umami burger (lettuce pickled daikon, grilled onions, mushrooms, gochujang, teriyaki) and I got the Rizzo (Sautéed Spinach, roasted peppers, smoked mozzarella, marinara). The toppings for both were incredibly tasty. We weren't asked and didn't state how we wanted the burgers done, and they were both very well done, not to either of our preferences, which was the sole drawback of our experience. We'll know better next time, and, yes, there definitely will be a next time.",
"Oh you want a burger? But you think that food trucks are always rip offs with low quality product huh? Go to spot. Quality. Variety. Laughs and smiles. Aptly named, because this sure as hell is the spot!",
"Great food truck. Delicious burgers and Josh and team are very friendly. The specials are the real treat though. Whether its filet mignon sandwiches, Thai fish soup, or lobster rolls, don't ask questions, just order the special and enjoy.",
"Absolutely delicious! I was here for an event at Drexel, and heard great things about this truck. I walked by, to see what the other trucks had, but the smell pulled me back. They have a great variety, and for $6.50, I don't think it can be beat. I'm not a fan of the bread, but it wasn't too bad. I'm hoping to go back to Philly again to try another."

"Great bartenders and good food-cheap. The mini sliders and tater tots make this a reminder of my childhood! The food is good and service is great. Lots of big screen TV's for sports. Karaoke on Thursday night. There are not many restaurants or bars in this area, so it is always crowded. Lots of fun.",
"My wife and I used to live in the apartments behind the Publix in this shopping plaza, and we would make our weekly Sunday pilgrimage to watch the Chicago Bears on one of their many televisions. Good boneless wings, TONS of chicken sandwich variations to choose from, and very kid friendly at night.\n\nAlways good drink specials too. Definitely not a good place to go if you're looking for that crowded bar atmosphere, but good for a few drinks or to watch sports. Nice people.",
"Have been going here since it opened. Wife and I go once a week. Staff is very friendly and attentive and great for watching sports or to bring the kids. Many selections for Sports Bar & Grill food and reasonable. No happy hour drink specials but they have daily drink specials. Burgers and sandwiches are large and well priced along with their dinners.",
"I'm at the Varsity at least every other week\nvery convenient and close when a patio is what I seek\n\nIt's a family friendly sports bar with quite a menu\nso in this neck of the woods its a popular venue\n\nTheir Boneless Wings are the best around here\nOrder them nuclear and your taste buds will cheer\n\nPair that with their $1.99 domestic pints of beer\nand I say you've got the perfect combo my dear\n\nMy kids also love the kids meals because of the big size\nand the rice krispy treat or cookie as their sweet surprise\n\nIf you are not in a chicken wing kind of mood\nThen the Margherita Chicken Salad is the next best food\n\nOne quick tip before I'm off the grid\nAvoid Thursday Karaoke unless you're a kid",
"The food is good. They've got a full bar. There's always something going on, and it's probably the best sports bar in the area. That being said, one of the drunk Gator fans hit my car and took off the last time I went, so I probably won't go back. If I do, I'll park over by the Publix and walk over to be safe.",
"I like the Varsity Club in East Lake for a Saturday afternoon lunch spot .The environment inside is a nice, casual sports restaurant, but it's nice since no smoking is allowed inside and there's plenty of TVs all around . There is also a spacious patio out front with tables and umbrellas for those who prefer outside seating. When I go, I usually sit up at the bar, where they have a wide selection of liquor and beer along with daily specials. The bartender Brad, who is always there when I come in on the weekend, is awesome and gives great service! \n\nAs far as the food goes, I've never had something here that I didn't like.One of the things that is unique about VC is the fresh veggie platter (including carrots, tomatoes, green peppers and ranch) on the appetizer menu. It's rare to find such a healthy option at a sports bar like this, so I was definitely impressed. Anything with the boom boom spicy sauce, especially the shrimp wrap, is excellent! They also serve up tasty burgers and have alot of choices for sandwiches and wraps. My only complaint is there are too many delicious items on the menu to choose from :)The pricing is about average for similar restaurants of it's kind.\n\nI give it 3 stars overall.",
"IF I could give this place no stars then I would. I normally never write reviews on places and I hate to give a business negative feedback but my friend was treated so poorly by the staff at this restaurant that I had to get on and spread the word. \n\nOn 1/19/13 I placed a takeout order and my friend went to go pick it up for me as I wasnt feeling well at the time. I ordered a salad and it came to $11.75. All I had on me was $12.00 - which I thought would be fine as my friend was just going to run in and pick it up for me. \n\nHowever, apparently the staff at this restaurant believe that if your ordering takeout then you must leave a tip as well - and they made it VERY awkward. \n\nAs my friend handed over the $12-00 to pay for my meal the girl behind the counter goes, \" and here is your 25 cent change - you clearly need this more than I do.\" Aghast by the remark my friend asked her to please repeat what she just said (as she couldnt believe what she was hearing). The girl hands my friend the quarter change and says, \" Normally it is customary to tip your server - thats how things are done here.\"\n\nI'm not sure how she thinks she is a \"server\" when my friend literally walked into the building to pick up the food. But I do think perhaps she could kindly take her head out of her behind and learn some manners. \n\nNEVER GOING BACK. And I will be sure to tell all of my friends.",
"Last night was the first time we've been to VC and it was a pleasant surprise. The parking lot was full, as was the restaurant, but we were seated right away. The server was efficient, but not especially friendly, but I'd rather that then the other way around. (he wasn't unfriendly, just not over the top personality wise.) we ordered the wings with sweet chili sauce and the were so good we were using the celery to scoop up the very last bits of sauce from the plate. For entrees, I ordered the nachos with blackened chicken and my husband and mother in law split a steak wrap with fries. Thank goodness they split an entree because I definitely needed help with the nachos! The platter of nachos was gigantic. Even with their help, we barely made a dent in it! Still, I would say they are the best nachos I've had in Florida (lived here about 1.5 years). The veggies were fresh, the guacamole was delicious and the chips held up the whole time. Often, by the time you get to the middle or bottom layers the chips are unpleasantly soggy, but not here! My husband and mother-in-law enjoyed their wrap and the fries. The adult beverages we had were ice cold and reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!",
"Mad at myself for not trying this place sooner...especially that I'm moving out of the area in a few weeks. This was definitely my kind of Sports Bar. Had no problem getting a table around 6:30 on a Tuesday and service was great. I had the Steak Wrap which was delicious . Reading other yelp reviews I had heard the Nachos were out of this world good. A couple a table next to me ordered them and I found myself craving them immediately. Will definitely try them on my next visit.",
"When my husband suggested this place, I was excited to try it out. I don't like sports but sports bars have some of the best food. But there's something missing with the food here.\n\nThe service here was very good and attentive. We ordered the nachos with blackened chicken. The chicken didn't taste right. You know the taste of reheated chicken in the microwave? It tasted like that plus covered in blackened seasoning. I couldn't eat the chicken. To their credit, the nachos are huge. You won't go hungry. I had the bang bang shrimp wrap and my husband had the blackened prime rib sandwich. He enjoyed the sandwich which came with a huge singular slab of meat. When I think of prime rib, I think it would be sliced real thin on a bun. Not the case. The wrap was mostly lettuce and cheese with a few bits of shrimp. I wasn't that impressed with it.\n\nI had high hopes for this place. The prices are competitive with other sports bars. But the food just isn't hitting the mark. When I go back, I will order something different."

"The Nashville West Buffalo Wild Wings is finally open, but its pretty obvious the new staff has a few kinks left to work out. \n\nThe place was very busy (I asked the Hostess if she was getting a lot of business now that they were open, \"More than when we were closed\", she responded.) which resulted in some slower service. Only one of the TVs was playing Trivia, and it wasn't immediately obvious where the restrooms where.\n\nAll in all though the location seems nice and the Wings were about what you'd expect. If you like B-Dub, you'll be getting about what you'd expect.",
"Men, rejoice. This is your place. Women - run like hell. This places sucks it big time. \nI'm all in for the sports bar vibe when needed, and hey, I was stoked to see some Olympics, but the food is so far past bad you will want your money back as well as the money you spent on gas getting there. \nWings SWIMMING in sauce. Bizarre over flavored flat bread dripping in grease and so not worth the calories. It is just bad, bad, bad. But the crappy ambiance and deafening noise do help to dull your sense of taste enough that you may not gag. Don't count on it though.",
"I wandered in here after a grueling visit to Costco recently and here's the low down for those of you who don't know the schtick (cuz I didn't). It's a sports bar/restaurant as any self respecting wing place ought to be with large screen TV's, lots o' beer, bar food and on screen trivia that you can play from your table for those of us with a head full of completely useless knowledge.\n\nSomeone else mentioned the service and I have to admit that ours was pretty slow. The beer selection was pretty good and they did have it out quickly so because I'm easily amused with beer and trivia, I got past the service. My kids got a bit fidgety but the atmosphere is certainly fine for kids if they don't mind waiting a while for their food.\n\nNow the reason I really can't give them huge props is because I thought the wings were pretty boring. They have a whole bunch of sauces you can pick from and we had a few different ones at our table. Just left me kind of wanting more tangy wingy flavor where there wasn't. I also think they are high for what they offer. We also tried the ribs and fries but again, I've had better. \n\nThe place has it's merits for hanging out watching some sports, table side amusements and no smoking is a plus too but just don't expect a culinary trip to heaven.",
"Great environment to eat + drink+ watch the game. Bartenders friendly and knowledgeable. Staff courteous. Food items were delicious. Great variety in terms of drinks.",
"I've been here a couple of times & my visit usually follows either a trip to Costco or Strike & Spare (two main reasons I drive all the way to Nashville West!).\n\nThe last time we went was a Saturday night, and it was CRAZY INSANE. I have to stress all caps because the wait was 2 hours! There were people lined up everywhere, even all over the parking lot, waiting to get a table. Insanity I tell you. We asked the hostess if the bar was open seating, and she said yes. On to the bar we went!\n\nWe found 2 seats at the bar, but since we had 4 in our party, we continued scoping other potential tables. I spotted a party of 4 getting up so we immediately swooped in & grabbed the table. This was after maybe 5 minutes. A lot of work for a table, but it was much better than waiting 2 hours!!\n\nOk so the food - we ordered wings, fried pickles, a burger, and a chicken tender basket. The fried pickles & wings were pretty good - we got the \"Wild\" sauce which was good but not that hot. The chicken tenders tasted like they had been fried long ago, so that was very disappointing. The onion rings weren't that great either. My husband ordered a burger, and after waiting a good while we got most of our food except for his burger - they delivered the wrong entree. Poor thing had to wait another good while for the burger to get there, and when it did, it was so sad that he didn't even eat it. He said it tasted very charred & burned, and he just couldn't take more than a couple of bites. After waiting so long we just were ready to get out of there. We ate some snacks at home.\n\nLet me say that this isn't the worst place ever. The wine was priced alright (I am just not a beer drinker), and the beer prices were good too. I just won't be in too big of a hurry to come back. The experience just isn't good enough to justify being a table vulture!",
"Went to BWW for fight night and had a very good time. The food is pretty underwhelming, but it is not offensive. There are a ton of flat screens and the service was competent. I don't think I will be back too often, but for a fight and a bite it fits the bill.",
"I love Bdubz. Yummy wings, go on Tuesdays & Thursdays for their deals. And if you're feeling cocky & think you can do the blazin challenge, don't. If you have a steel tummy go for it, just be sure to invite me. I wanna watch you cry.",
"All B-Dubs are the same; cold beer, good wings and tons of TV's. If you are looking for a spot to watch some sporting events, this is the place. There are TV's everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I've counted more than 40 before. Wings are tasty and beer is cold!",
"The best place to watch sports, IMO. I like the food and it is also an awesome place to hold your Fantasy Football Draft.",
"Good for a quick high calorie lunch. The place is nice for watching sports. Not too loud and great service. We will return."

"A new pizza place in Providence Town Center that occupies the same place as a prior pizza joint. If you've been to Mod's Pizza, the concept is basically identical. You go to the counter, select your crust, toppings, etc. and then they quickly cook it in a wood fired pizza and bring it out to you within a few minutes. They do offer several crust options, including a gluten-free crust, which my wife said was one of the better ones she's had. Lots of toppings to pick from. I went with their Pure Fire Hawaiian pizza and I should have noted that it came with a spicy red sauce. For me, it had a little too much kick, but to be fair, I'm not a big fan of spicy food. The pizza was pretty good, but the spicy red sauce for me sort of kept me from being able to finish it. These are personal size pizzas but they are of decent size. I do wish they were cut into eight slices rather than just four. The place only opened a few weeks ago and you could tell that the employees were still in training as they were pretty slow in putting our pizzas together. The place was pretty empty, so not a big deal, but during a lunch or dinner rush, it would not have been good. For my kids, they were disappointed that there was not chocolate milk offered to drink. The owner came by several times and cleaned up our napkins and even refilled a few of our drinks. We will definitely be back again, but will likely wait a month or so and by then, service should be humming along.",
"Pure Fire is Pure Goodness. We were welcomed immediately by a very friendly staff, the atmosphere was very warm and chic and well executed. The selections of ingredients were very broad and all of the ingredients were fresh and plentiful. The concept is great; unique personalized pizza or salads for that matter , topped with fresh healthy choices and a nice selection of after bake special sauce toppings. I really liked the thin cracker like wood fired crust, which to me is reminiscent of my New York roots, this type of thin crust is hard to get in most PA pizza joints and Pure Fire gets it right. Fast, fresh, enjoyable, economical and a definite repeat !",
"Great place! Staff was super friendly, helpful & attentive. The food....WOW! The cauliflower crust was pretty good & the toppings were amazing. The salad was big and delicious. Toppings for both were unlimited!! I think I will pass on the cauliflower crust next time & go for the whole wheat!! Great place if you are GF!!!",
"Good pizza with lots of choices to build your own. Haven't tried the salads. It's a bit confusing when you enter for the first time because of a lack of signs. Think of it as another Mod Pizza.",
"I really like the idea of making your own personal pizza, and it was actually a great idea for my husband and I - he is a meat lover and I am all about the veggies. It was nice that we were able to get exactly what we wanted and not have no compromise! The pizza came out really quickly (as in less than 3 minutes) and they brought it to our table. The the selection of sauce is really nice and the other toppings as well. My only complaint about the toppings is that they didn't have sliced black olives!! I also think they should ask how many toppings you're planning on getting, and distribute them accordingly (i.e. if you're getting a ton of toppings, it's fine to just put on a few of each, but if you're only getting 3 toppings, they should put on a little more)\n\nMy only real complaint is that both pizzas were pretty burnt. I would definitely have preferred it in the oven for a bit less time. Overall, the experience was fun and I love the idea, but the pizza itself isn't anything to write home about. Also - they need to offer fries!!",
"Second time here and I love it. The hubby and I ordered a gluten free pizza and a salad to share. He's a gluten eater and he couldn't tell the difference from the regular crust! I've got a high gluten sensitivity so the shared space doesn't bother me. The sauces are all gf but I'm wary of the BBQ. They are very good about accommodating and will offer to put your gf on a special plate before it goes in the oven if you wish. Ingredients are fresh and yummy. Best gf pizza to order and wayyyyy more affordable than buying the cardboard from delivery joints. Lol",
"i love the idea of being able to make your own pizza! my first time here was a great experience and all of the workers were extremely nice. i wish there was one closer to where i live, but i will definitely be back.",
"This place is really good because you get to totally create your pizza from the crust, sauce, cheese, protein, veggies, and top drizzle. They even have healthy choices for the crust like gluten free and cauliflower crust. I ordered the cauliflower crust with spicy red sauce, spicy sausage, green peppers, red onions, mozzarella cheese, and a blue cheese drizzle. The cauliflower crust is good, but you have to use a fork to eat it. My husband created a meat lovers pizza with the regular crust and spicy red sauce. This is a great addition to Providence Town Center.",
"System similar to MOD Pizza, which is great, but that's where the similarity ends. I ordered the \"Let's Get Meaty\" which has lots of toppings already selected on their menu board. They brag about \"it only takes 90 seconds\", but when they brought it out, EVERYTHING on the pizza was lukewarm. Even the sausage which is kinda nasty and the mozzarella was barely melted. How does the pizza maker not know that the pizza is not done by simply looking at it??? Then they forgot the blue cheese drizzle which is supposed to be put on after the 90 seconds in the oven. Really unorganized, untrained staff. I wanted this place to be good, but it's just not.",
"I've visited this location twice. Good selection of toppings. Unfortunately both times the crust was burned, which ruined the taste."

"Located in the long - empty Rack N' Pins space at the Legends mall, O'cleary's is an Irish Pub with hours of entertainment in mind; I do and outdoor seating, two bars (one on the patio), many large TVs tuned to sports (some in a couched lounge area), a handful of bowling lanes, four billiard tables, and some dart boards. \n\nThe bar has the usual, with a focus on Irish fare in terms of beer choices. Oddly, their house beer is an American ale in the vein of Coors, with minimal head and what seemed like the slightest citrus - with a stuffy nose and a palate tuned to IPAs, I'm hardly the best person to give a detailed profile. It was good though. A nice selection of whiskey as well. \n\nHappy hour runs from 3-7, so I ordered some half-price onion rings to go with the beer. They were good, airy, crispy, and the onion didn't pull out. Paired with some delicious and spicy Sriracha aioli sauce. \n\nMy build-your-own beef, pepper jack, jalapeño on chibatta was quite good. Had a spicy garlic sauce. The burger was a smidge overcooked, but still juicy. \n\nI look forward to coming back. Erin, my server, was very attentive. Due to the soft opening we were her only table, but she was helpful and very nice regardless. \n\n\n\nAlso, multiple staff suggested the stuffed mushrooms, although only after we had ordered our food. Mature next time.",
"This place is surprisingly good. Food tasted great (the curry pizza and the Rachel sandwich with fries). Drinks at regular price are around $5 for beer and well. Very pleasant summer spot, as there is an outdoor seating area, with a bar space outside. All servers were friendly and helpful. We will be back.",
"Formerly Rack'n'Pinz this retains pretty much the same decor and layout with mini-bowling lanes and four pool tables in back and it shares the patio with CBQ and also that somewhat hidden hallway between the two bars/restaurants. I believe they are both owned by the same people. While CBQ does a good job with the country theme, I think O'Cleary's Irish theme is really lame and weak. It feels about as authentic Irish as say Disney's California Adventure feels Californian. I know, it's located in California, how can you f ck that up? It's like Reno having a Nevadan theme park that doesn't feel at all Nevadan. They put up a bunch of oddball Irish posters you could find at Cost Plus World Market and they put up all the ridiculous usual suspect Irish beers and even have a few Irish whiskeys and scotches and viola, it's an Irish bar. Um, no. Okay, I haven't been to Ireland, but I've been to England and Boston counts for Ireland and I've been to Irish bars all over America. Maybe this place will be packed during St Patricks. Of course, Irish whiskey sold out to the corporations. There's not a single major Irish whiskey distillery there which is really sad. The distillers all sold out and now drive around the countryside in their Mercedes and BMWs. I mean, you'd think the Irish of all people would be proudly and defiantly independent like a lot of Kentucky distillers still are. Anyhow, I'm not impressed by their menu. OMG pizza is so Irish. Impressed less by their service. I'll pass on this place unless I have an overwhelming desire to go bowling in an pseudo-Irish restaurant. I'm thinking, they should have franchised Kilt Lifter, seriously.",
"Went in at 6 on a Friday, ordered Irish car bombs and an appetizer, didn't get either one until 630, and no Bailey's in the car bomb! Supposed to be an Irish place... ordered food and a second drink which we didn't get until 7:26. Burger was alright, my wife didn't like the sliced corned beef, my friend had the worst fish and chips of his life. Our server was ok but the bar and kitchen were terrible, won't be coming back.",
"WARM DRAFT BEER :( Not impressed. I got the spicy garlic chicken wings, funky tasting sauce. blue cheese tossed potatoes equally a waste of $.",
"Happy hour till 7 which is nice! I ordered pub fries which are just pre frozen fries with seasoning salt. I was told they had bacon and cheese on top by the waiter so I was a bit disappointed. Other than that really nice service and can't wait to try the rest of their food.",
"Never coming back to this place. If you want beer this is the place. Everything else was pathetic. Name change part 3 is on the horizon. One star was forced!",
"Okay first off, DO NOT BASE YOUR OPINION FROM OTHERS. \nThe two venues are new ! And that means that they have new food meals to \"perfect\" and get the groove going, and they brought something new to the area as well as jobs to very friendly workers.! I talked with a very friendly, social hostess and she said that they take these comments into consideration and can only learn and improve. I've had their Brisket once and it was fatty, we told them about it and a week later we came back and had it again and it was excellent! The server even stated that the Brisket had been upgrade and is now better than ever! I personally think the food is great, the beer is good, and the place is a new and pretty interesting. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and answered all my questions and listened to my concerns. The place is still going on it's feet, and is working out the kinks. Don't let negative nancies who could just be an other Food place worker ( lol ) , stop you from checking it out yourself. (: You'll never know unless YOU try!",
"Wonderful patio seating! Great service, good food and Coach outlet just opened up across the way! Right next to the IMAX theatre so perfect location. BBQ restaurant next door if Irish isn't your thing and they share the patio. Enjoy the mountain and marina views.",
"Came here for the 1st time on Mothers day...my MIL is Irish so I knew she would get a kick out of it. I could not decide between the fish and chips or Irish Stew. The waitress advised the Irish Stew was the most popular so I went for it. \n\nI don't think I have ever had anything as disgusting as the Irish Stew. It was in a shallow bowl (hardly any soup to begin with for $11)...Not a \"stew\" consistency AT ALL...it was clear and the top covered in oil...there were about three pieces of lamb. I took one bite and had to send it back. So much oil, it was floating on top and my lips were oily after taking the bite. There were so many things wrong with this dish. Stew is thick with large chunks of vegetables and meat, with almost a gravy like thickness. WHO IS MAKING THIS?? It is awful :( \nThey did bring me the fish and chips to replace the stew and it was pretty good. \n\nOur appetizers were good and also the Bacon Potato soup. Other than that, I am not sure about the actual \"irish\" food. Someone better get to fixing this menu quick before your doors close. \n\nThe service is meh...asked for a booster seat a couple times, food took a long time to come out and it was not very busy. \n\nYIKES. I really want local businesses to succeed but they have to try harder than this. Come on people."

"The blue chair is one of Edmonton's truly unique restaurants, namely because it's run by unique people who put their passion where their business sense was. The Blue Chair is a great restaurant and a fabulous venue for live music. They serve dishes from around the world, gathered from their extensive travels. The music played here can be anything from folk and blues, to Latin and strings. Cover charges vary and are reduced with dinner. It's a great evening out with a group or partner. I've had the curried goat, which was amazing, and they also have great starters like edamame, salad wraps and ceviche. Prices are a bit higher, but worth it for the atmosphere, and they're still less than if you went to a fine dining restaurant downtown. Linger and digest your meal over live music and make it a whole evening.",
"This is a very unique restaurant that has a variety of meal options that seem to be from all over the world. They have great live music playing and such a variety of it as well. The whole atmosphere of the place is very cultural and they reach out to everyone.\n\nThe prices are a bit high but compared to some other places it isn't too bad. This is one of those places that I felt was more about the experience. it is really good to check out with a group of people and especially if you like trying new things.",
"Well, not bad at all! Live entertainment varies, however the staff, service and food were outstanding. I really didn't expect much at all as upon arriving this restaurant was tucked into a quiet strip mall just south of all the activity on Whyte Ave. \n\nOne inside the cafe was just that, cafe style. Don't expect lush surroundings, the atmosphere was casual. Just the right size to feel intimate with the performance. A great place to kick back and appreciate some music and good food. \n\nThe menu had something for everyone from bison to vegetarian dishes. The food was fresh and very tasty. Not over priced. All servings were generous, we certainly did not leave hungry! \n\nThe clientele was varied in age.",
"It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside the Blue Chair Cafe is a world of food and music. I went for brunch, and found some rather unique options on the menu, including Pad Thai (apparently the place's signature dish), a bison burger, various formations of Eggs Benedict, and other breakfast-type choices like blueberry pancakes and banana French toast. \n\nI ordered rancheros done vegan style (grilled tofu instead of meat, and no cheese or sour cream). What I got was a mountain of black beans, tofu, salsa, pico de gallo, and lettuce piled high on warm corn tortillas. I ate it like salad, with a knife and fork, as trying to formulate my own wraps would have been too messy a prospect. I can say that the meal was satisfying and delicious, and also appropriate for celiac diets.\n\nMy brunch mate had the frittata with cheese, vegetables, and bacon. It was served with baguette and fresh fruit. The frittata, which has basically an open-faced omelette, was large and cheesy and full of fillings. In fact, he was a bit put off at the variety of vegetables that lay within (not being a fan of eggplant or zucchini), but less critical frittata fans will savour it.\n\nI ordered a side of Blue Plate's famous roasted potatoes. Basic and delicious, they were baby potatoes in their skin. I wish they were served with more of the brunch items!\n\nBecause of its out of the way location, it was much less busy than other establishments serving weekend brunch. It is not huge on the interior, but not tiny either, and features local artwork on the wall and a stage that is often occupied by musicians from a variety of genres.\n\nI have my eye on the blueberry pancakes and the vegetarian Pad Thai (but not at the same time), so plans for a return visit are in the works.",
"Went there for brunch today, and I was very impressed. The atmosphere was nice and casual and the food was fantastic. I had the California Benny and I must say it was the best benedict I have ever had. The hollandaise was a perfect balance of sweet and savory with a nice aftertaste of anise. the bacon was good and crispy and was really well smoked.\n\nThe music was loud enough to enjoy but not so loud as to impede conversation. The wait staff was friendly and engaging as well. \n\nThe prices were a bit steep, at approximately 17 per person, but it was well worth it, and not too hard of a hit.",
"Big shout out to all of the yelpers who wrote reviews about this place already. I was meeting with some old friends for breakfast and they wanted a new place to go to that wasn't IHOP. This place sounded pretty awesome based on those reviews and we definitely didn't leave disappointed.\n\nIt's a little bit out of the way - we thought we were going the wrong way because we had to drive through so much residential before we got there - but it's a cool little surprise in the Richie neighbourhood.\n\nOur waitress was really nice, the food was amazing, and the live music was an added bonus. Quick service (relatively - it was super busy in there as it was Sunday morning) and my banana bread french toast was a fruitful eating experience. My table mates all loved their dishes too.\n\nThe bacon here, I'm not sure what to say about it. There's something special about this bacon. It's somehow better than normal bacon, which I didn't think was possible. The perfect crispiness, and loaded with flavour. YUM.\n\nHigh points for this place! Will definitely be back for the bacon and beyond.",
"Uh oh....\n\nThis has been one of the places that I consistently recommend for an evening out with food, vino, music and friends. Last night makes me sad.\n\nThe music was lighthearted and fun, with some solid jazz players. The vino was outstanding (their selection is VERY reliable). The friends were fun as always.\n\nThe place was crowded, sold out night likely with the valentine's weekend peeps. Not enough staff to cover the floor well and it showed. I really liked our server, but but the time we were offered a second bottle for the table we were long tired of waiting. Similar wait time for dessert menu and then dessert order and then the dessert.\n\nThe biggest problem was my order. After discussing vegetarian options, I went with the pad thai recommendation. The first bite of shrimp was a surprise (perhaps a stray?) the piece of chicken in the next made it clear the dish in front of me was not what I ordered. I consider myself a flexitarian - I eat meat, but usually prefer vegetarian meals. Service was so slow I ate around the meat and enjoyed the peanuty sauce, but this is a major faux pas for a vegetarian and vegan friendly spot. My hubby thought the goat curry was not as good as it has been in the past and the vegetarian lasagna also ordered at our table didn't get finished. \n\nThe pavlova had the consistency of a sponge toffee (brittle and crispy) - pavlova is supposed to have a crispy shell and soft and marshmallowy on the inside. The fruit was on the side (usually in the centre or on top in a bed of cream) and was served with rinds on the melon & pineapple without a knife. The whipped cream clearly came from a can, skimpy lines with nozzle marks - at least they could have tried to disguise it!\n\nI sincerely hope this was just an off night, the owners are fantastic supporters of original music and have great taste in wine. Including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options shows a dedication to keeping customers happy. If only the execution met the expectations.",
"Best mac and cheese in town!! The restaurant doesn't look like too much from the outside, but is very quaint and comfortable once inside. Staff was friendly and helpful on a couple menu recommendations, service time has always been good as well considering I've always gone there with a larger group.",
"Blue Chair Cafe... The live music brunches on weekends are my favorite... I feel like this review should be in the form of a song...\n\n\"I love your bacon, I love your bands.\nI love the life music and always clap my hands.\nYour bennies are delicious, location surreptitious,\nI have yet to find a food that isn't delicious each time.\n\nI've been here with a lover, I even brought my mother.\nIf only I could wake him up I'd even take my brother.\nYour bacon is to die for, I always order an extra side for\nThat maple smoked savory taste that is delivered every time.\n\nThe unpretentious feeling, the art, the charm, the ceiling,\nBlue Chair you leave your critics reeling, \nas once they savor, your different flavors\n(that bacon needs a waiver from your kind waiter)\nI'm certain that they'll find Blue Chair is a tasty place to dine.",
"Went here with my girlfriend a few weeks ago. Food was good, as everything was made from scratch. Presentation of the food could have been a little bit better, plus the portions were quite large. Atmosphere was nice, the live musician was entertaining. I'd go back!"

"Love the chicken and vegetables meal. A unique twist on the usual Mexican food. Great salsa and chips! They offer high end tequila for margarita's! \nWe've always had fast and friendly service every time we go, which is often. \n\nA bonus, the kids meals come with a free ice cream!",
"Very good MX restaurant, great prices and daily drink specials as well.",
"Seems like your typical mexican restaurant with most of the menu. If you don't like the standard mexican choices there are some different items on the menu that seem to have a mexican flare to them. I just think that there are plenty of mexican restaurants around the area that this one is just ok with me, nothing special.",
"First time here and I can easily say this is the best mexican in Brownsburg. A truly nice surprise, with a unique menu. Includes some standard items but the specialties are the best! Try the chicken tortilla soup-it's delicious. Enchiladas were fabulous too. Service was spot on. Can't wait to go back again.",
"Absolutely incredible Mexican food and fantastic service. Chips and salsa are fantastic every time. The chicken fajitas are incredible. Great lunch menu in terms of selection and price. Their drink specials are great. Just an absolutely great experience. Easily the best Mexican food in Brownsburg.",
"This is a good place for a quick lunch. They have added some nice options (fancy smanchy enchiladas, etc) to their menu which makes them stick out a bit from other Mexican restaurants. The last time we visited their credit card machine was down (didn't know it until the check came). My husband had to go to an ATM to pay the bill (sorry but I'm not comfortable giving my credit card number on a piece if paper!). I'm sure that was a one time thing but I didn't like it. The servers are friendly. Good drink selection too.",
"Really good food! This place was recommended by a local and this place did not disappoint! I devoured my taco salad and my partner enjoyed his enchilada plate. The kids fajita plate was really, really big. So next time they will definitely share a plate. Overall, the staff was excellent and I enjoyed! Oh, on Wednesday is Senior Citizens Day. 50% their meals.",
"Girl's night brought me north to Tequila Sunrise as this is a favorite of a few of the girls. This place was super cramped in the waiting area but I think they were just trying to figure out where to put all the waiting parties as we only waited about 5-10 minutes. This is a weird thing about their layout, their entryway and check out are in the same cramped area and it is quite narrow. We were seated at a mildly odd table in this center section that is supposed to mimic a fountain plaza or something? I dunno, I got to stare at the fountain the whole time though! \n\nService was pretty quick to get drinks and order but he did seem a bit flustered, probably had quite a few tables he was serving. Chips and salsa were fast and abundant and I ate too many. My friend also got some queso and it was good! Much better than my last attempt at killing my constant queso craving! I ordered a quesadilla (Jose Frog) that my friend said her husband gets all the time. It was well done with a good amount of sour cream and quac to use. Yum. I didn't manage to eat it all since I ate like 10 pounds of chips but my husband reheated it later that night and he said it was still good. One of my friends meals came out wrong and they remade it but it took a long time and that was disappointing, I wish they had put more of a rush on it since she sat there awkwardly while we ate. All in all, this place is nice for a local Mexican restaurant and a good value. I will be back...and hopefully with a large margarita at my table!",
"Best mexican in Brownsburg. The staff is attentive and friendly. Restaurant is clean. The food is excellent. I highly recommend the chicken fajitas.",
"My favorite Mexican place in Brownsburg. Salsa is really good. All you can eat tacos every day for lunch for only $7. Good service too."

"An older crowd than nearby YOLOS, Table 3 is a bit French brasserie in its food theme. The bar and waitstaff come across as more \"proper\" and aloof than at some of their restaurant neighbors. After a strong 19th Hole Bloody Mary the $14 nicoise salad with its tuna, egg & olives seemed worth it. For $15 we could have sampled a fromage board of top gourmet cheeses. Next time.",
"I really, really, really like this restaurant. \n\nThe theme is a french bistro. I love the atmosphere; ambient lighting, modern decor with big corner booths and cushioned benches along the walls. It is cozy and romantic enough for two or comfortable and accommodating enough for a large party. I really liked the large, french country tables you can move around. I particularly love the artwork (especially the cow.) \n\nThe wine choices and descriptions are spot on. All the wines are french or wines with french names. There is a perfect description of the wine so that you know exactly what you are ordering. My wine was described as \"fresh dough\", and I actually could taste the hops. I was very pleased. \n\nI ordered the fish special - the sole. It was pan-seared with just enough butter to make it slightly crispy on the outside and amazingly tender on the inside. Although I am not a huge fan of fennel, there were peels of them on the top and it added a nice crispness and texture. Under the sole was a creamy risotto and as a surprise there were potatoes with bacon pieces underneath. The smokiness from the bacon was slightly overwhelming - but being from the South that's a sin to say so I'm not complaining. \n\nThis restaurant is a real treat in a great location. I really enjoyed it. Highly recommended.",
"This is what green hills needed! Amazing dinner. Portions are perfect, meals are served perfectly cooked and seasoned. Nice updated country French atmosphere. Attentive bar staff. Good wine list. Delicious salads, onion soup, and steak! Desserts were simply perfect ending! \n\nNeed reservations or call ahead for weekend.",
"I didn't have a great experience at Table 3. My meal started with the onion soup. The stock was too sweet and not beefy at all. My entrée was the braised short ribs. The rib was on the cool side of warm and was literally half fat. My friend ordered the same. His rib looked much leaner, but he also commented on the temp. The polenta it was served over was well prepared and very tasty. Another person in our party had the special, bouillabaisse. She enjoyed the flavor but commented that the soup was warm in the center but cool at the perimeter. My vegetarian wife was reduced to french fries, a green bean salad and creamed spinach. She was very happy, but really, who doesn't have at least one vegetarian entrée -- an omelet would be appropriate in a bistro. In addition the dining room we ate in was extremely chilly. The service was fine. This was not up to what we expected based on Table 3's pedigree. We won't be rushing back.",
"I just had to tell you guys how much I liked table3. Went with Mishelle last night - it is where Bistro 215 was- parking lot of Green Hills mall by movie theater. It was SO good. It's French food and reasonably priced. We sat outside and the weather was great. They have a ton of tables outside & it's tough to find nice outdoor seating in this town. Full bar, but we had the house wine- $5/glass $18/caraffe. We tried the white and the red. Needless to say the wine made experience even better. The wait service was outstanding, very into the menu and explaining things. We had one of the best cheese plates I've ever had- blue cheese, roasted dates, almonds, goat cheese and a particularly good creamy cheese whose name escapes me (2nd bottle of wine). Then I had a croque madame, which is this salty ham almost like bacon with a fried egg- to DIE for. It came with a huge plate of fries and house made ketchup and mayo for $10.99. Mishelle had the chicken salad sandwich that was good, too, cajun spicy but the Croque Madame is not to be missed. Anyway, just wanted to let you know how good it was! Oh, before I forget, they try to work with local vendors, etc which is pretty cool, too. Big fan!",
"French bistro in Nashville? Not exactly the first cuisine you associate with Nashville but I think Table 3 incorporates the theme well in their menu. (They do serve some non-French bistro items)\n\nThe restaurant sources all of their ingredients locally EXCEPT the seafood which I'm glad to hear. Didn't think the Cumberland River produced the best oysters or fish. Table 3 also has Benton's bacon which I recommend you get on your salads, burgers, etc. Simply delicious bacon.\n\nThe croque madame is quite good as is the spicy chicken salad. The pomme frites are great so I highly recommend those as well. The only disappointment was the French onion soup. Thought it was on the salty side and the cheese didn't have the slightly burnt crunchy top. A good experience overall so would be coming back again.",
"Finally a French bistro in Nashville. What took so long??? Miro District tried in the beginning, but was never fully committed the French bistro concept. I visited Table 3 on a Saturday night and there was a very good crowd -- a bistro is not a bistro without a bustling atmosphere. The menu has all of the typical bistro items. We started with the goat cheese tart, which was very tasty. I then had the frisée salad with Benton's bacon, which was great. I love the French for putting runny eggs on almost anything. I then had the cassoulet, which was served in a cast iron dish; simply perfect on a cold night. I split a carafe of the house red wine, which was nothing special but reasonably priced and a good match with the casual bistro fare. Others at my table had the beef short rib and coq au vin, both of which were very good. I will certainly be back soon, even if to grab a quick burger and glass of house wine at the bar. This place is something this city has needed for a long time.",
"Table 3 is a wonderful restaurant with an amazing spirit! It has recently experienced a set back due to a fire; but, the owners are rebuilding quickly. Table 3 will be open and creating delicious food again soon! Help support the restaurant by coming to \"Table 3 Sundays at F.Scotts,\" where you can enjoy your favorite menu items every Sunday from 11-9. I love this restaurant and can not wait to experience the great food and exciting energy again!",
"Solid French bistro food and good service. \n\nGet well soon, guys!",
"Temporarily closed due to a fire!! F. Scotts is serving a few of Table 3's dishes in support. Not sure when they will open again, but they do plan to repair and open."

"I'm so glad they opened one of these closer to me. Their menu is expansive and the food is so fresh and flavorful. I've used the online ordering at another location and breezed past a line of 15+ people at lunchtime and was in and out in 3min. The Greek Salad with chicken is my favorite. Huge portions and online you can customize every detail. Highly recommend if you like Mediterranean cuisine!",
"Went to Zoe's today. What a nice surprise that they opened one in Plymouth Meeting!\n\nI ordered the steak kabob with roasted potatoes. Outstanding! This restaurant's food is as good as -- or better! -- than a traditional \"sit down\" restaurant.\n\nEverything tastes fresh, the staff is very friendly and it's clean.\n\nI love the food here and since my office is right down the street, I'll be coming over for lunch!!",
"I've been there three times in the past three weeks - very pleased. A lot of interesting choices on the menu that seem relatively healthy, place is clean, service was friendly and prompt. The steak and chicken rollups are filling, the chicken kabobs are tasty, and, like Carla M., the wife loves the Greek Salad. It's one of those places that gives you a number and then delivers the food which does make things easier. If you're getting it 'to go', the layout has some counters that allow you park yourself without being in the way but still have full visibility. Nice design.\n\nMinor gripes:\n* The limeade is excellent but two things annoy me - it's relatively expensive and no refills.\n* I personally didn't have problem but the last time I was there I saw that the order-taking definitely seemed to bog down when more than a few people were in line. It's probably a newer crew, but they need to be more adaptable in their roles. No way should someone be tidying the forks when there's a long line and there's an empty register.",
"So so good! Their hummus was AMAZING - service was fantastic - they came over twice to make sure we were satisfied. I had the veggie pita pizza (so good!) And it came with a pretty large salad! Greek dressing was awesome. My fiance had the kabobs which looked great. So yummy!",
"Fantastic food and service! I got the chicken Kabobs and rice. Bohr were full of flavor. I am always Leary of any rice dishes because they can be bland, but this was amazing. The Ottawa and Huns's was so fresh and tasty. Can't wait to go back!!",
"First Time visiting this restaurant. It's very close by inconvenient. There's plenty of seating and the restaurant seems clean. Our food seemed fresh and healthy. I would be back. This time I'll bring the kids.",
"Stopped in for lunch and had a really nice meal. We ate outside and they brought our food to us. Hubby had the chicken kabob platter- kabobs were moist and flavorful. The accompanying rice and Greek salad was tasty, as well. I had the hummus and salad platter, both of which hit the spot. The pita was warm and soft. I wish the cucumber raita portion was larger, because it was sooo delicious! The 2 of us ate for $25...which seems like a bargain for real, healthy, tasty food. I'll be back for sure! \n\nUpdate: I've been back several times and it is consistently good. My kids love it, too. Nice addition to the area!",
"Great spot for quick food that had a much healthier feel than most \"faster food\" joints. We actually placed our order online and it was super easy! Got a little email explaining to come at a specific time, pop up to the counter, give my name and it charges my card right after I pick up my order. I think we were inside for maybe 55 seconds! The people working we super friendly and,most importantly, our food was really tasty. A little salty, but it's a chain so I'm not surprised. But our salads were almost as good as something I would make and the chicken kebabs were not even the slightest bit dry. On those nights when I just can't will myself to cook dinner and want a killer greek salad, this is my new go-to spot.",
"Great idea, horrible execution! \n\nI was excited about Zoes coming to town, because we are desperately devoid of healthy lunch joints, and because I heart Middle Eastern / Mediterranean food.\n\nHere's why I'm never coming back. \n\nUnder-trained, unsupervised kids that hardly pass for restaurant staff. To their credit they were trying to the best of their abilities, so I don't blame them for poor management. \n\nHorrible food. Chicken kabob looked 50 shades of gray (and I do mean the color gray) and tasted accordingly. It was also way over-seasoned. When restaurants over-season, I can only assume it's to mask the quality of ingredients. My shrimp kabob was totally RAW!!! Yes, raw shrimp and raw zucchini on a skewer. \n\nBtw, upon ordering, I asked which entree does not contain cumin. Poor girl went around asking her young colleagues, all of whom just shrugged their shoulders. The boy cooking food didn't speak a word of English, so she had to look up in the dictionary how to ask him that. She even told us that's what she was doing, as if we'd think it's cute. We did not. When he shrugged his shoulders, she proceeded to call someone on the phone. They told her I have to pick what I want to order first, so they can research ingredients on that specific dish. Umm so the people making the food don't know what goes into it?!?! To make up for the cumin fiasco, she brought me a fruit cup consisting of old rotting fruit.",
"Honestly one of the best grilled chicken Greek salads I have ever eaten. 2 thumbs up! Awesome service, awesome food, comes out quickly. Highly recommend stopping at this location or another near you!"

"Much better than the Turn 2 concept. Every a spec improved. Food , cocktails and service!\n\nWill return.",
"Great bar food and daily specials and nightly events. Bike night is every Tuesday night!",
"Ok this place is like waves at the beach. One day it is great and the next day horrible. Service is average, the prices have recently gone up (must be like the government trying to price their way out of a hole).\n\nIn general I avoid the place now and just drive by. There are too many places with cold beer and TV's!!",
"Just went in for lunch and a beer, and was pleasantly surprised with the food and craft beer selection. Prices were decent, food was good with plenty of choices, even healthy choices. We had the fish sandwich in a tortilla and the chicken philly, also wrapped in a tortilla, with a nicely sized side salad and veggies instead of fries, and all food was excellent. The TV's are as good as any bar in the area. We will definitely be back for more.",
"I only went here for a couple of beers so I can really only speak to that. We were going to try out a special they had for 5.50 beer flights - but unfortunately, we learned when we arrived that the deal had ended. We decided to stay anyways and have a couple of pints. I will say that the beer selection is pretty good! They had your regular domestic beers and also some craft beers that I am definitely a fan of. The bartender was very nice and waited on us without hesitation so I would rate the customer service very well. The only thing I was a little hung up on was the cost of the beers was $6 a pop. After taxes and tip, $8 a pop. That was a little steep in my book for day drinks.\n\nIn summary, the atmosphere, customer service and beer selection were all very good - my only vice was the cost of drinks. Either way, give it a try!",
"Used to be good but not anymore. Took away or changed all there best food. New management seems as though they ruined the place.",
"Ok so I didn't want to come because of the reviews but when I went, now I am hooked. They changed owners and now the burgers and appetizers are amazing! Whenever I want to get a bite to eat I think of the landing. I know it has bad reviews in the past but everyone must give this place another shot because the cooks now are amazing and the burgers are so good!",
"Just went back with new owners. Food is upgraded. We had a good overall experience, although we thought it was a bit pricey for barfood and semi-craft beers. $7 for 16oz., and I paid $8 for 20oz. of same beer at Steinbrenner field the next day, and you know they over price everything. Other than that I hope they make it because they are close and a good diversion once in a while.",
"The landing recently got new owners who have turned the place around. Food is great and plentiful. God beer selection too. It used to be very hit or miss, mostly miss. Now the new peeps are on target. Definitely good and I am pretty hard to please. Four stars cause I think the food could be a little cheaper but it's not outrageous by any stretch.",
"Great owners, staff and food! Flatbreads, chicken wings, Buffalo style beef on the wick, fried fish all great! Pizza looked good too. Quality amazing. New favorite!"

"Cusanelli's...FINE ITALIAN CUISINE.....pizza steaks and chicken....that's what the sign says...and it has cracked me up for years, I mean what is so fine about pizza steaks and chicken? It sounds trashy. It's ridiculous. Now that THAT little rampage is over, I must go on to talk about this restaurant, because it's wonderful, even if it's advertisement is a little hilarious to see. \n\nI think because Lemay is one of the most oft forgotten neighborhoods in South County, people often forget about Cusanelli's as well. This is a darn shame, because honestly, Cusanelli's is one of the most delicious restaurants in the city. Though there is not much worth doing in Lemay, this is probably the high light of any trip you may make to this neck of the woods. \n\nThe food here is divine, and the service is spectacular. Also, the place is always jammed, so you know you are getting into something delicious as soon as you walk through the door. I am in love with their pizza. It's thin crust and yummy and they pile the toppings on. I love me some veggie piled pizza...try it it's delicious.",
"Based on the other reviews, I might be writing about the wrong restaurant. My brother took me and Tricia here one evening, and it wasn't anything special. I felt I was walking into dinnertime at a retirement home. My bro's pizza was pretty good. I had a fish sandwich that was so-so. My mom had the chef salad, which, as Jessica H said, wasn't all that.\n\nI guess I'll have to go back and give it another shot.",
"Cusanelli's is not fine Italian food, but it is good food in a quaint atmosphere. The place is always packed, usually with big families having dinner together. I've never had a bad meal there, just good, simple food, served by staff that have been working there a long time. \n\nThe house wines aren't spectacular, but they don't hold back. The pizza is thin-crust, as it is so many places in St. Louis, but it is good. They don't deliver, but it's a restaurant, not a pizza joint. Order the chicken-fried chicken, and you'll get a plate swimming in gravy. If you ask for your salad with cheese, you'll get your greens covered in provel cheese. Fried chicken is always on the menu, although they do have some healthier alternatives always ready.\n\nThe dress code is casual, and the prices are never extraordinary. If you go at the right time on Friday or Saturday, you'll find a line out the door. Cusanelli's is great for a comfortable, reliable and not-too-exciting night out.",
"BEST PLACE EVER. Love garlic bread. best thin crust in the lou. better than imos or cecils. love the homey atmosphere",
"My family has been coming here since the 60's. It is very much a family restaurant. I'm sad to say they used to have the best STL style pizza in town, but now it's very hit and miss. A few of their menu items have always been great though: the Cusanelli's Special salad, the country fried chicken and the fried chicken. The Deluxe pizza is also very consistently good because with all the toppings, the crust doesn't matter much. \n\nBelieve it or not, they just might have the best margarita's in town when their regular bartender, Steve, is working. He quit for a while to take a real job. The margaritas went downhill quickly, then he came back. We were pleased. \n\nTip: order your pizza \"well done\" if you want it to be a bit crispy. I've never had a pasta meal there that I would recommend. As someone else said - go to the Hill.",
"I haven't been to Cusanelli's in a few years and there is a reason. My grandparents used to love the place and I don't think they have done anything to it since they were going. Most of the things I have tried taste like they went from freezer to fryer. The pizza is not that great and most of the homemade items have become tasteless and boring. \n\nThe place is run down, and the food as a whole is mediocre at best. Cusanelli's is family owned and I for one would love to see them do well. But, there is such a thing as reinvesting in your business. You can't let things go to hell and then rest on the laurels of your history. Tweak the menu and fix the place. Then, I'll be happy to give it another try.",
"Simply an old fashioned Italian STL gem! My Aunt used to be a waitress here back in the day and some of the staff from back then still work there after over 40 years. It's a family run restaurant and you get that feel when you dine here. The regulars keep this place running, however it is worth a visit. I love their pizza as it has a taste like none other and is the main reason my family still frequently visits this establishment. You can order frozen pizzas to-go, which we take advantage of quite often on camping trips. They taste great cooked over a grill!! We have had many large family birthday dinners here as they have many separate areas suitable for groups. I hope you get a chance to enjoy it too!",
"Cusanelli's is strange. It is one strange mural and terrible fake flower arrangment away from being campy...instead it just looks dated and sad. I agree with the comment that it is similar to a retirement home. An empty retirement home. We were the only patrons there for about 45 minutes. Sadly, the food matches the decor. Our server, Kelly, was very nice, but when asked what food was best, she only told us what was most popular. I ordered the fettucini alfredo, which another server jumped in and said was her favorite, and it was bland. I added shrimp and broccoli. Pretty sure the shrimp was frozen and thawed (you know, those little bitty frozen ones you put on dips? yeah, that's it). The house salad was good and their house dressing was tart and fabulous. I felt like crap about 30 minutes after eating there and I'm still not \"right\" the next day. I really wanted to like Cusanelli's, but sorry, I didn't.",
"They are understaffed. It took them forever to serve my spaghetti w/ meatballs. Their meatballs are average. I should have ordered their pizza which have amazingly delicious cheese. The problem is I'm allergic to cheese to it would been entertainingly embarrassing for my companions to see my lip swell and my skin get hives. \n\nNot the right time to eat cheese.",
"My wife and I eat there every chance we get when we are home visiting the family. We ate there as kids and loved it in the 60's and even now enjoy it. I must say I've only had their pizza which is on the scale of HIGH, and a salad. The cheese is different to the taste and believe that's the reason we enjoy it. It's the best in the St Louis and can't find nothing like it in North Carolina where we live. Service is slow, well it's very slow and believe they need to hire new employees'. I wouldn't eat there once a week but once a year??? YES."

"I'm normally not the type of person to feed into hype, but this place is pretty great. The ordering is through a kiosk, kinda like Wawa, I didn't really like this because it feels kind of impersonal, but I'm sure that this allows for people to get served faster. You can customize your entire meal through this kiosk. This location is currently crazy busy; a lot Penn students pack the place during lunch/dinner time. It's more busy than Chipotle. \n\nI paid 10.75 for the sesame garlic stir fry. For the money, it's a decent amount of food. It is drenched in sauce, and it's amazing. I also got a good portion of steak with it too. Definitely excited to try out all the different sauces.",
"This place serves an excellent stir fry. Each of the three times I've gone to Honeygrow, I've ordered the build your own stir fry and mixed and matched ingredients. I'm into the candied cashews and pork, they are great choices. \n\nBoth the salads and the stir frys are filled to the brim with healthy ingredients...and most importantly...they are cheap! My order was 7.95. Not bad for a health foods restaurant in Philadelphia. \n\nLines are very long during lunch hours, so expect to wait a bit of a wait if you're looking for a midday meal.",
"Yikes! I am sad to be giving this review, but this review is based solely on my first visit to this Honeygrow location. I arrived there around 1pm on a weekday for lunch with a friend, and though on the outside it looked super packed, there was actually no line to order - just a large group of people waiting for their orders.\n\nI made my own salad with spring mix, falafel (add additional for protein), 3 ingredients of red onions, roasted beets, and tomatoes (included in the base price), and 2 crunches (sesame sticks and croutons). I also chose the dressing of olive oil and vinegar.\n\nI wish I had checked my order when I was still in the restaurant because when my friend and I walked to another building on campus to eat our lunches, I found that they had forgotten my roasted beets AND they only gave me olive oil (no vinegar). Plus, the red onions were not fully cut in that they were still joined at the stem, and I had to physically pull them apart while eating it.\n\nWithout the acidity of the vinegar and the subtle sweetness of the beets, my salad was honestly pretty nasty - imagine eating raw vegetables coated only in olive oil. Yuck. Needless to say, I was left very sad at the end of my lunch. \n\nI would definitely return for another try before brushing off Honeygrow for good, but I was thoroughly disappointed in my first experience.",
"I have been here twice so far in the first two weeks that it has been open and both times I ordered custom stir-fry. The food is absolutely delicious, very filling and healthy. I used the nutrition chart on the website and was pleasantly surprised at how few calories were in each of my meals.\nThe first time I went with a friend for lunch a few days after it opened, and it was packed. My friend got a salad and hers was ready in just a few minutes while I waited nearly a half hour. This was annoying but the food made the wait worth it. This is definitely going to be a popular lunch spot on Penn's campus.\nThe second time I went for dinner at about 5:30pm and there were just a few people waiting ahead of me. My stir-fry was ready in just about 5 minutes and it was once again amazing.\nThe prices are comparable to other places nearby and the portion sizes are large.\nI'll definitely keep coming back!",
"Both the salad and the honey bars are pretty good. The ingredients are fresh, nutritious and delicious. The green goodness sauce in the salad is also great. Anyway, if there is no long line, it would be a good place to dine~",
"Honeygrow, more like HoneySLOW.\n\nThis is what I tweeted out of frustration after dining at this establishment. While they were very quick to respond to my tweet, the fast-casual joint is simply not fast. \n\nHoneygrow is an interesting concept, you do not have to speak to anyone over the course of your entire dining experience, pretty cool ordering interface. However, the actual food is overpriced and somewhat inconsistent. Your meal is delivered to you in a Chinese takeout container. This packaging choice showed clear oversight on behalf of the management, as the sauces incorporated into the stirfry allow the container to drip and deteriorate over the course of your meal. There is also never enough protein put into the stirfry, a clear effort by the management to cut costs, and not appreciated by me, the guest. They also have a cool dessert option called Honeybar, this is a 5.25 small fruit salad with a drizzle of honey served in a bowl. To explain just how small this is, it is roughly the size of a Ben and Jerry's small ice cream cup. Another large gripe I have is that the space is very awkward after you order. While there are roughly 15 other people waiting in a mob for their orders while wedged between a soda fountain and a garbage can, it makes the atmosphere remarkably unpleasant.\n\nIf I had to send another tweet, it would be \"I'm going to SweetGreen instead #HoneySLOW\"\n\nIn sum, this place has slow service when it is at all busy, prices that are unreasonable, and a very inhuman, capitalist feel.",
"I've been eagerly awaiting the opening of this Honeygrow ever since Zagat featured it's debut. It was crowded and hectic. One staff person had to shout out ticket numbers among impatient diners and background music. I bet she's hoarse at the end of the day - has to be a better way of voice amplification. I mistakenly thought I heard my number twice and maneuvered through erect bodies to the counter only to be told, \"Not yet!\". I could hardly hear. :( Anyway, I decided to try the egg white noodles stir fry knowing darn well that the yolk is the richest and best part of the egg and to leave such a luxurious food item out is to deny the complexity and flexibility of a natural gift. The noodles were quite rubbery. The sesame garlic sauce was yummy albeit watery. So, I'll try again but with a different noodle. I like the idea of manifest destiny in the form of create your own stir fry but not with characterless noodles. :)",
"Really disappointed...made an account just so I could write this review. I went earlier today because I was craving yogurt, and heard Honeygrow had some pretty good yogurt. \nThey messed up my order the first time and gave me chocolate chips when I didn't ask for any, and then threw the whole thing away. That's such a waste of food! I wasn't super upset they messed up my order - I was more upset at the fact that they promote such wasteful practices. \nThen I went home and was really excited to eat, but I realized there was no yogurt. I made my order thinking that the yogurt was included, but really a honeybar is just a bowl of fruit with honey...I wish they would have been more clear that the honey bar isn't a parfait because otherwise I would have never paid close to $6 for a bowl of fruit with honey drizzled on it. Such a complete rip off.",
"This place is just what penn needs. People write bad reviews about slow service and stuff like that...but pretty much every campus food place has an insane lunch rush hour so you shouldn't dock a restaurant for that. I have loved everything I've gotten here - either making my own or choosing one of the pre made selections. \n\nIt's about $10 for a stir fry which is a reasonable price considering they fit a lot of food in that takeout container. It doesn't look like a big container but they pack it in there, so you could stretch it to 1.5 meals.",
"Easy to order and good quality food. Tasted fresh and healthy! also good quality bathrooms."

"We went to the little French restaurant last night with my meet up group for french speakers. It under new ownership and will be named Chez Colette. Colette was there last night and it was a wonderful dinner for all of us. We had about 20 in our group. I had the scallops and my husband had the beef bourg. Very tasty on both our meals. We split the onion soup, could have been a little hotter but with a large group such as ours I understand how that can sometimes be a challenge. My husband and I also split the crime brûlée for dessert and it was to die for! Colette also brought us some delicious mini quiche as an amuse bouche! The chef sent out to everyone in the group a sparkling moscato at the very beginning of the evening. It was all very lovely as we all babbled along in French and English. I think everyone enjoyed their evening. Will head back soon.",
"I have worked In restaurant service for a decade. I have definite standards but am very forgiving as I know about the stresses in the restaurant. Unfortunately, tonight I had a service experience at this restaurant that I could not over look. This is the first time I have ever walked out of a restaurant without eating mains. \n\nI was really excited about the menu but from the moment we sat down the service was lacking. It wasn't bad it was just unorganized and there was no preparation for a Friday night dinner service. The staff was completely overwhelmed. We walked in at 645 received our appetizers at 710 and By 815pm we had still not received our mains and were told it would be 15 more minutes. I could have probably forgiven all of this but about 20 minutes after we and 4 other tables walked in the owners friend and her family came in. The staff all but ignored us to take care of them and though they ordered after the other tables they received their food right away and were ordering desserts before any of our mains were even on the stove. I understand being good to your friends but not at the expense of all of the other guests in your restaurant. Completely unacceptable. \n\nThe appetizers we ate were delicious but I was groomed under the restaurant philosophy that \"great service can save a mediocre meal but even the best food cannot save bad service.\" \n\nThis is a restaurant with a lot of potential and there is definite talent in the kitchen but they're ally need to figure out their front of house systems and how to handle volume of business. If you are going to check this place out make sure you go on a slow night and not at 7pm.",
"I visited Chez Colette on a Tuesday evening while visiting family. This is a European sized and feeling restaurant/bistro that provides wonderful ambiance. Decor and music are delightful. \n\nWe both started with a dinner salad, which was delightful. The dressing was light, and the homemade baguette croutons were awesome. We had the Chicken Normandy and Beef Bourgogne. Both were well portioned and the beef had a deep rich sauce. The wine list is appropriate for the size of Chez Colette, and won't overwhelm you. \n\nPrices are reasonable and the staff friendly. I would be a monthly visitor if I lived in the area.",
"The food was SO good! I can't wait to try everything else. I had a smoked salmon crepe, a delicious flavor experience. The salad appetizer was also delicious, and I sit waiting for the most delicious sounding dessert crepe!",
"Intimate French bistro, with delightful decour and a wonderful menu. Enjoyed Beef Bourguignon and a glass of red wine, but will return another time for the desserts. Comfortable atmosphere. Service was excellent, respectful and friendly. Charming.",
"Where there 2 weeks ago. Nice decoration with french history pictures on the wall. Not too many tables, which makes the atmosphere quite personnal. Had a ognion soup and braized lam. My wife went with their beef bourguignon. I must say that everything was excellent. Lam would melt in your mouth while the beef bourguignon that my wife made me taste was awesome. Colette served us herself which gave us the opportunity to know her a little. What a charming person. Tonight, friends of ours wanted to go out for dinner so we are bringing them to \"Chez Colette\" of course. Can't wait to try something else.",
"Such a yummy dinner! I had the Provencale crepe and it was delicious-not too heavy, and the flavors complemented each other perfectly. My mom had the Bouef Bourguignon and it was also so good! So many flavors done perfectly. The staff was very friendly and it was fun to be in a really authentic French environment. C'est parfait!",
"We did not eat here, as we had the temerity to show up on an early Tuesday evening with the restaurant half empty but without a reservation. The proprietor send us away with the ludicrous explanation that the chef would not get to us for hours. Cannot imagine what it might have been like if they were full. Needless to say, the lack of hospitality will not invite us to try again.",
"I'm still here finishing my meal. Very mediocre. My appetizers were cold and I sent one back-the French onion soup. On the positive side my husband enjoyed his Filet. This is the second time I have been here. First was in May of 2016 and it was magical. I would think twice about dining here. \nAlso there is a smell of mold to deal with. \nBeer and wine served. On the whole reasonably priced mediocrity.",
"Following a school event we were driving down Indian Rocks road looking for a place for dinner. Spying Chez Colette in an unassuming strip plaza I directed the hubs to turn around and go back. He insisted that a chic French cafe would require reservations on a Friday night but I convinced him we should at least try. The Yelp reviews looked great, I was excited.\n\nWe walked in, not too many tables full at 8pm..I though we were super lucky. The dining room inside is very small, there are a fre two top tables outside. The one waiter on staff directed us to choose any table. Opting for a booth at a window we seated ourselves and the waiter immediately brought menus and water. \n\nWe reviewed the wine list and the menu. We ordered an appetizer and our meal. Beef bourguignon for me and beef tartar for the hubs. For our appetizer we ordered duck foie gras. In short order the waiter brought bread.. then our appetizer. We have had foie gras many, many, other places. My hubs says this foie gras was canned. I cannot say that, all I can say is it tasted off.. like game as duck can, but not fresh. \n\nOn to dinner, my beef bourguignon was akin to pot roast in a very rich gravy.. served with two asparagus spears and a scoop of mashed potatoes that were amazingly HOT compared to the beef, leading me to believe they were microwaved. It was ok but not the fresh French cooking we had hoped to find in this little cafe. \n\nOverall the service was impeccable! Our waiter was very attentive, refilling drinks and frequently checking in. The food was a bit of a let down. We would have had dessert but after a disappointing appetizer and entrée, we asked for the check and said c'est la vie!"

"My boyfriend planned out a Friday night and brought me here. The area isn't the nicest, so when we turned onto Washingon Street and our GPS said that we'd be there in less than half a mile I was kind of nervous. I was happy once I saw the sign that read \"wine bar.\"\n\nIt was a really nice establishment. Our waiter had tons to say about the menu and was able to recommend several things that my boyfriend and I loved, based on the kinds of wines we told him we liked. I would absolutely recommend doing the cheese tasting there. I've only been there once, but our waiter told us that they change the cheeses they offer daily. I really don't know cheese that well, but he recommended several that were great.\n\nI took one star off because I didn't enjoy the entrees there that much. My boyfriend and I ordered the osso bucco and the curry seared tuna. The osso bucco wasn't very good -- it was a lot tougher than other osso buccos I've had. The tuna was cold. It may have been seared and then left to sit for a little bit so the whole thing was room temperature when we got it. Kind of gross.\n\nI would definitely go there again, but just go to have a salad and some of their cheese... and of course the wine!",
"Agree that Domaine Hudson is the best thing to happen to downtown Wilmington in some time. It pairs a phenomenal wine experience with a great food. The most unique part of D.H. is its selection of 50+ wines, most of which are from small, lesser known wineries, offered by the glass in three different amounts (1.5 oz, 3 oz, 5 oz). This provides visitors with the opportunity to sample a variety of wines, and try something new and different with very little risk.\n\nFortunately the food to go along with the wine is excellent. The menu is not extensive, but includes a good variety of interesting options, and the dishes are very well prepared.\n\nIt has a sophisticated yet relaxed feel. Plus the service has been very good and very knowledgeable, able to describe the broad selection of wines and provide good recommendations.",
"Had a wonderful time here! I was suprised by my sister when she asked me to join her for dinner for my birthday. I had never even heard of this place either! Our server was great, gave us great tips on what to get and gave his honest opinion on what went well with what! They had a very good wine list.. I was just more suprised that they had Willamette Valley!! I was so excited! It made the dining experience that much better! Cheese selection ruled! I would tell anyone if they are looking for a place to be wined and dined this is it!",
"I had to create a Yelp account just so that I can leave a review of my experience at Domaine Hudson. \nWe had to wait for 30 minutes for our table even though we had a reservation. We were placed on the \"waiting couch\" next to a bit of a roudy group of people. No problem, people are having fun. A staff member stopped over to say that they group was too loud (hmm.. large party of customers too loud for ya, Mr. Hudson?). I thought it was unprofessional to comment about customers to people awaiting their table. Unprofessional. \n\nWhen we were finally seated, the table was underneat a vent which was blowing cold air. When we asked if they could seat us elsewhere, we were told that no other tables were available. They did accomodate by turning off the A/C for a while but mid-way through my meal the A/C turned on again. I had to ask the waitress to see if they can permanently turn it off so it doesn't blow food off my plate. Of course, Waiter #11 had an attitude. She kept walking back and forth to Meg Hudson and relaying my requests to her. Please note, all of this is happening right infront of my eyes. I have an appreciation for having to accomodate \"high maintenance\" clients, but for Pete's sake, don't stand in the middle of the dining room, discuss the client and throw looks in their direction. Seriously. Have you heard about being professional? \nNeedless to say, my dining experiene was ruined. I have gone to DH many times before and this was, by far, the worst experience at the restaurant and at any restaurant I dined in the past few years. I think the chef does magic, as always. However, if you are in for an experience, don't go to Domaine Hudson. It's a hit or miss with them. Unless you can close your eyes on the unprofessional staff and focus on food only. \n\nP.S. Don't take your date there, they allow people with sneakers and flip-flops into the dining room. Aweful.",
"This was my second time at Domaine Hudson, the first attempt I had to leave unexpectedly.\n\nTHE WINE HERE IS EXCELLENT! I liked it so much I killed two bottles straight to my head within the first hour. The food was decent, I had the meat dish paired with a dry cab. I even ate the garnish, and I barely ever do that. I was feeling quite jolly and in the holiday spirit, so while my neighbor was in the bathroom I took the liberty of tasting his salmon. I hate seafood so I immediately spat it into my napkin. Apparently that's where I went wrong, because when he got back and half of his salmon was gone (with each bite I imagined I might enjoy the next - I was wrong) and he saw my napkin on the table full of chewed up salmon, he asked me why I would do that and what kind of person am I, etc. I blocked the rest out because I was staring at his guest's (his wife?) boobas. That was the straw that broke the camel's back, as they say.\n\nYadda yadda yadda, later that night while I slept on the floor of my holding cell, I only wished I had shown some restraint and not finished my meat - my tummy was feeling kind of sick (not food poisoning, just over eating). I called my mom and asked her to update my Facebook status to \"in jail\" and hope someone would come bail me out, but they ended up letting me out in the morning anyway.",
"Favorite \"Special Night\" restaurant. The wine comes in small sizes so you can sample a variety of wines from their extensive menu. You can pair wines nicely with each course without getting too drunk. The food is excellent, a bit heavy, but that's expected from Continental food. The foie gras was excellent - wife and I share this every time. \n\nAtmosphere is nice -- dim, relaxed, warm, romantic. Sometimes can get a bit crowded.",
"Had a really great meal here the night before Valentine's Day. It was packed and we sat at a Bistro Table (by the car) and it was nice and quieter. We got the 4 course chef's menu with paired wine tastings and everything was fantastic. Expensive, but nice every once in a while.",
"One of my favorite places for dinner and drinks. We usually eat right at the bar. The wine list and wine knowledge by Tom (owner) and his staff is exceptional. The cheese selections are always great. Menu is small, but the relatively new international beer list isn't. If you're in the mood for great wine and beer and good food, this is the place. Perfect for a romatic evening out or for happy hour. Definitely recommend you give it try. Just don't tell too many people. I don't want to lose my place at the bar.",
"Domaine, with its \"many leather-bound books and smelling of rich mahogany\", a wine selection certain to lead to analysis paralysis, and a bathroom lined with pages from yesteryear's fashion magazines, quickly jumped to the number one spot for me in Wilmington, DE. \n\nAlthough the entrees lacked depth of flavor, I found myself reaching a new level of understanding of both cheeses (does not pair well with truffles) and wines (a grenache/shyrah blend is very smooth, but too sweet) after a wide sample of both, and will certainly be back soon for more. Of everything.",
"I cannot believe that it took me so long to find this place! I was in a wine mood and I decided to check it out on a whim after finding several closed establishments in Wilmington on a Monday night. (I did only go to the bar, so I cannot comment on the food.) The wine (and bottled beer selection) is incredible and very reasonably priced. I was amazed by how helpful and knowledgeable our bartender? (could have been a sommelier) was. I was in wine heaven. They make it easy to sample too because you can order 1.5, 3, or 5 ounce glasses. I will definitely be going back! \n\nJust an additional note: DH does not have very late hours. I did not realize this until I was leaving and felt somewhat embarassed because I had hung around a bit after the closing time. They did not kick me out though, which was nice."

"First time to the ina location and went on a Sunday morning about 8am. Had been to the Campbell location many times. Ina location has just opened this week. Same great food and same quality as Campbell location. Great friendly service. This place is much smaller than the location on Campbell, with only about 10 or 15 tables of 4 inside and only a 1/2 dozen of outside tables, which means as more find out about this location there will be a wait to get in. I did not see a bar or counter service and the kitchen is hidden away, so you can not see them at work. What a great opening week, good tasting food and no service mixups. Black widow Benedict and pecan roll pan cake both were great. Coffee was always available",
"I have been a loyal customer of Baja Cafe since the first location on Broadway opened. As I'm about to move to Marana, I was thrilled to hear they opened their third location on the west side of town. I anticipated the wait time to be significant as the other two locations usually have a substantial wait on Sunday morning, so I arrived about 20 minutes before my other guests. It appeared a couple other groups were waiting for tables. The hostess was so nice, and let me know she could seat us as soon as my other people arrived. I would anticipate as soon as people catch on that it's open, the wait time will increase.\n\nThey have a small area for patio seating, but the interior is the smallest of the three locations. The decor is minimal compared to the other two locations. The food and the service are on point though. I ordered one of my favorites: eggs and snickerdoodle combo, and it was great as always. The coffee is good too. My aunt ordered their special pancake without whipped cream, and our server brought it with, which was no big deal, but she quickly noticed, apologized, and brought my aunt a new one without.\n\nYou can check my reviews of the other locations for my comments on the great food. Again, some of their benedicts are a little pricey (as much as $16), but I'm okay paying the price for excellent food.",
"Pretty Sweet!!!! There is nothing I don't like about Baja Cafe, the food is always good and the staff is on point. I cannot believe how together they are for the 1st week. It's a little smaller than the other Baja's, and the shopping center is a little sketch, but the food is impeccable. Doyle the G.M. managed the kitchens at the other locations and was a spot on choice for this location. Love it all!!!",
"LOVE THIS PLACE!!!\nI'm so glad we finally have a Baja Cafe on the northwest side. Local breakfast and lunch restaurant with an incredible menu and daily specials. The Kingkong is definitely one of the best items on the menu.",
"Clean, quiet.....very nice and prompt staff. Benedict Special was unique, AND very delicious!",
"First time visit today and we will be back. From the perfect cup of coffee, nice and strong, to a hollandaise that is to die for, this place is great. Friendly service, reasonable prices, and the first-timer surprise was delicious. Snickerdoodle pancake is just that - a big snickerdoodle! I had the basic eggs Benedict and asked for the hollandaise on the side since so many are too heavy and overpower the eggs. This sauce was made fresh and was light and wonderful. Generous ham slices were grilled. Hash browns were plentiful and crispy. Took our leftovers home for tomorrow's breakfast!",
"Winner!! This is a nice little place! A great menu selection, great service, and really great food. They even gave us a snickerdoodle pancake as a first time visitor and boy was it amazing. If your looking for a small, hometown style diner with great food, this is the place!",
"Tried it for the first time this week and can't wait to return. Great service delicious food at a great price. Exciting varied menu. Try it out!",
"Wow. Absolutely amazing. I want to try everything on their menu. Too bad I was passing through. Will most certainly come back next time I'm in Tucson. We had the Black Widow and Trainwreck both of which were phenomenal. Huge amount of food. Service was good and everyone there was extremely friendly.",
"Snickerdoodle pancake??? Are you kidding me right now??? Nope! It's for real. And are they sooooooooo good. Tasted like a big cinnamon roll and snickerdoodle cookie all rolled into one. Heavenly. \n\nAfter reading all the hype about the Campbell location, I asked a friend to meet me for brunch. \n\nThis place will spoil you rotten. The snickerdoodle pancake was brought out to us on the House. It went down quicker between me and my girlfriend, than it took for the waiter to bring it out. \n\nWe both ordered a simple breakfast of two eggs, toast and hash browns. Everything was fresh and tasted great. I am definitely on board to try more of the items on the menu. Besides, even the inside atmosphere of this place is cozy and friendly. Definitely worth a trip for another snickerdoodle!"

"Great food and great service. The parking can become an issue but within the last year and a half they've added additional parking, there is also a valet service. My wife and I continue to go here over Red Lobster because the service is so much better and their food is better too. I love the seafood alfredo and their calamari is great. I've not been to the tiki bar but it looks awesome.",
"The chairs were wicker and slightly uncomfortable., but the main dinning area was very clean and pleasant. They had a candle on the table, but not lite. It took awhile to get our drinks and the waitress was nice enough to notice that my Mom did not get a full glass of wine and brought her more out. After getting our order we did get a piping hot basket of herb and garlic bread. Then we waited, and waited. Finally the chowder came out and it had lots of clams and overall good flavor. Then we waited and waited again. Then we god our salads, the dressing was homemade and good flavor. Before we were even a 1/4 into our salads, the main meals came out. The blacked fish was cooked perfect and just a little heat, rice was a little overlooked and sticky, and the zucchini was ok. The other couple had the shrimp feast, the fried and coconut shrimp were good size and cooked well, but the shrimp scampi was horrible. It came out in a soup cup swimming in butter cream. Extremely overlooked. Overall most of the food was good, and the waitress was very friendly. But the super slow service and few bad dishes I would not go back again.",
"Horrible service! I am sure you can get a good server but my opinion is you are only as good as your weakest link. Tonight 5 of us came in for dinner and drinks. The place was empty, we never saw our server, she was unfriendly, half the requests were never answered, and apparently a half-assed sorry when she forgot would cover her mistakes. The food was mediocre, and we didn't get everything the menu said our meals included, but we could never find our waitress to correct the issues. We left less than ten percent tip after it took us over a half an hour to get the bill. At which point our waitress, Amy sarcastically and snippily yelled out \"thank you\" across the parking lot. It was a final touch on a terrible meal!! It would be a black mark on any restaurant to have a worker lash out at a customer that was saying monetarily what a servers performance displayed.",
"Great experience tonight. We left another restaurant with a water view six miles away because the service was terrible. Richard our waiter was great. We came in on a holiday weekend 30 minutes before closing and we never felt rushed. The service was very good, the food very good and the recommendations were excellent. We will be back",
"The grouper sandwich at the Tiki Bar is ok. The oil tasted a little off so is probably not changed often enough. Dinner at the more formal Catches was not so great. Our waiter was attentive but couldn't make up for the meal. The clam chowder was delicious and it went down hill from there. The salad is out of a bag, which I don't need to go to a restaurant to get. My medium rare steak was cooked perfectly but was 2/3 fat and inedible. Best thing on the plate was the loaded baked potato. The vegetable was zuccini and yellow squash with 2 tiny red pepper pieces. My friend's seafood with pasta dish was so spicy, she coudn't eat it and she likes spicy food. When we complained, the manager was called over and instead of taking the dish off the bill, he pro-rated the price for the 3 mussels she had managed to taste. We will not be returning.",
"I visit this place once a year when vacationing in NPR. We always find it enjoyable and my kids love it. I really liked the Reef Platter- fried shrimp, fish, and scallops. My kids got the fish and fries kid's meal. I love the seafood bisque. One of my favorite places for bisque. The side house salad was boring and the zucchini and squash wasn't great either. Overall, I love the entrees and soups and the kids always finish their plates.",
"Went on a Wednesday night and were pleasantly surprised with a $9.99 all you can eat fish fry with salad, cole slaw, and choice of potato or rice. Also surprising was a $2.50 Long Island Iced Tea as well as happy hour prices. Fish was nice and crunchy in a Yuengling beer batter. I had the pistachio chicken with potato, vegetable, and salad for $9.00. Way too much food. Lori was our bartender/server and she was friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. If you eat on the patio you get to enjoy the music coming across the channel from Whiskey River. Great atmosphere, food , and service.",
"I really wanted to give this restaurant 2.5 stars because half of everything was good. We came for the Christmas Day buffet. First, our service was outstanding. I believe our servers name was Josh and he was very attentive. The Christmas buffet was a little smaller than I expected but they did have a hot pasta station which was a plus. Our reservations were at 1:30 and it wasn't busy when we got started. But by the time I went back for my second plate the line was very long, the staff was trying to change out trays of food and it seemed hectic and mismanaged. The food was mixed, for me. Some of it I loved and some of it I didn't like at all. Tops on my did not like list were the banana rum sweet potato mash. I loved the sound of it but it sounded better than it tasted. The antipasto salad was amazing and delicious, as was the tropical fruit salad. I discovered a new favorite fruit, there was a white fruit with black seeds that tasted like a combination of fig and watermelon to me. I asked a server and he went back to the chef to find out what it was. It was dragonfruit. The roasted root vegetables were not to my liking either. There were mixed reviews on the clam chowder at our table, it was a sweet chowder. I liked it but others prefer their chowder spicier instead of sweet. The ham was good and the chollah rolls too. Overall it was an interesting meal. We had plenty to talk about discussing the food while we were eating, and since we are foodies that adds to our enjoyment. I would not drive back from Tampa to Port Richey to eat here again but if I was in the neighborhood I would give it another try.",
"Went for Christmas brunch. Service was good, food was decent, but overpriced. Not sure if I experienced their usual crowd, but it was very eclectic. I thought their bar stools were wicked cute though :) Not worth the drive for me, but give it a shot if you live in the neighborhood and you tell me!",
"Went here for Christmas Day brunch to try somewhere new should have stayed away. The server we had was really good otherwise I would have gave this 1 star. The food was underseasoned for the most part. The only two items I liked was the fresh pasta station and the bread pudding for dessert. The fish was over cooked and dry the piece I had."

"Westshore Pizzas are fairly standard in their notable deliciousness. Not the absolute best in every single way, but certainly a cut above. Usually a fairly big cut above.\n\nMy understanding from my old local franchisee in Tampa was that they go train under a corporate headquarters that clearly gives a whit about the quality of pizza. Further, some of the parts are sourced from the central office. I think that's the rough story...in any event, it translates out to consistent quality...where somewhere like Pizza Hut is equally consistent but commoditized, more packaged and more preservatives-laden. \n\nThis particular location (54th Ave S) has only done me wrong ONCE: it was on a two mediums special, and it seemed like they took the dough of one large and fashioned two mediums out of it (wimpy), threw 30% less toppings and cheese on each (gigantic crust area), and then proceeded to pull this sorry excuse for a Westshore pizza out of the oven five minutes too early (soft, doughy, odd). \n\nI have been here probably...five?...six?...times in the last year or so and every other time except the one \"Discount Day\" outlier (which was thoroughly disappointing, I must say) has been very good. \n\nMaybe just beware the especially good dollars-off specials...it's almost as if they know you are getting a deal and want to try to recoup some of the \"losses\" by cutting corners. If you are going to give a deal, give the same consistent product you always do, then there won't be complaints like this. Sheesh.\n\nOther than that, this place has been consistent with other Westshores and is our default choice for pizza on the Southside (well, that and Papa John's, now that they have decided to drop their drawers a little and let Joe Sixpack get in and out for under eighteen bucks on a single large pie with toppings...didn't used to be that way!) \n\nIt's nice watching sports in the dining area and they give you the All Access Pass to the soda machine to make an extended visit not only possible but enjoyable. \n\nRecommended.",
"AWFUL!!! Under new management and the quality has plummeted. Ordered a mushroom pizza and antipasta salad. There were almost NO mushrooms and we ordered extra pepperoni on the salad, there was almost NO meat. My family has been ordering for years.\n\nJUST TERRIBLE!! Stay clear!!",
"I have been going there for a few months now. The food quality is excellent! I love love love the cheesesteaks, the quality of the meat and bread are top shelf!!! The pizza slices 2 slices and a drink for $6 lunch....can't be beat....the slices are huge! Go there....you won't be disappointed!",
"Tried for the 1st time. The cheesesteaks were amazing! My son had a pizza slice perfectly done. Nice crust with great tasting cheese. My mom had an anti-pasta salad with an order of garlic knots. I couldn't resist trying a garlic knot. Oh my word...they were delicious!!! The salad looked great with lots of shredded cheese and ham. I would've liked to see more mushrooms but not a deal breaker. I will be back to try more things for sure.",
"We've been pretty regular customers (1-2xs/wk) since we moved close by 2 months ago. Pizza is really good but tonight it took then over an hour to deliver! 75 min to get a pepperoni pizza delivered a mile away...seriously? And of course it was barely warm by the time it arrived. What's going on with your drivers Westshore? I doubt we'll be returning.",
"BUYER BEWARE - They advertise one price & charge more. AND the pizza is not that good. They advertise \"$10 large ANY WAY YOU WANT\" then want $26 for two pizza's.\nI will NEVER step through the doors again. The store in Tampa on Westshore Blvd. is the real deal. These shmucks don't deserve the name on the façade. \n\nWESTSHORE CORPORATE - YOU NEED TO DEAL WITH THESE LOSERS.",
"I've been hitting up this Westshore Pizza whenever I'm hanging out on 54th South or perhaps when I'm with my boys down on 49th Street South. \n\nI've started to become familiar with some of the employees here and I must say that the general manager--a young fellow named Jordan, I believe--certainly knows how to run a pizzeria! And wouldn't you know, one time I ordered two large pizzas (they have such great multi-pizza specials!) and I open my door to see that nice young manager delivered the pizzas himself! And he didn't even say anything when I opened the door in my kimono!\n\nThis location has never made my orders anything less than satisfactory: the olives are always jet-black (that means they're super fresh!) and their bacon is delicious (it's shredded!) \n\nPlease make sure you give this place a try. They don't deliver me a DiGiorno, that's for sure! ;P",
"First, do not be fooled by the entertaining gentleman with the sign at the corner of the shopping center. He is an excellent showman, but this serves as a mere smokescreen for the business. \n\n\"Pizza, any way you want, $9.99\" reads the sign! Just ignore the smaller font mentioning the limit of one topping (premium toppings excluded.) I guess it reads better than \"hey, cheap pepperoni over here!\" \n\nDespite all of this, we wanted to give these guys the benefit of the doubt. Any local joint must be better than a chain, right? Right... \n\nSix months later and we have given up. Not a single order has been right. Granted, a few have been of the sorry-we-forgot-your-jalapenos kind. Unfortunately, most have been along the lines of the oops-you-didnt-mention-you-wanted-that-stromboli-much-above-raw caliber. \n\nAt least their sign guy is still entertaining at red lights!",
"After over 10 times ordering from here and a lot of $$ spent, it is safe to say that the $$ was wasted. I've been extremely disappointed with this Westshore. Three times it has taken over an hour to receive our food and none of the times has the order been correct. They will charge you for what you order over the phone but deliver you all the wrong items or forget to put important ingredients like cheese on their garlic cheese bread and substitute out ziti for spaghetti because they seem to always be out of spaghetti??! This is my first ever one-star review. It's true, the MJ sign guy out front is the only good thing this chain has going for them. Very entertaining, makes you think \"oh yeah, I'll order pizza tonight!\" But trust me, call the Papa or the Hut instead.",
"Well, we've been waiting an hour and a half and they're still not here. The shop is pretty much down the street. After it had been an hour and ten minutes, I called to check up. They said it was sitting on the counter. Really? Ok. Cut to another 40 minutes. No pizza. The guy on the phone was incredulous, and he insisted that the driver was at my house. I looked out the window. No driver. I asked to cancel the order. The guy on the phone seemed annoyed and told us to hold on and wait, even though we were already late in leaving for an appointed meet up. The intent was to eat before leaving, not as we were running out the door. There were no apologies, no efforts made to retrieve our business, nothing. They were just angry that we had the nerve to be angry. What would a 2-hour pizza taste like, anyway?\nThis is the 2nd time we have tried Westshore. The first time, we had 20 hungry people waiting for food, and we called twice to ask where our pizza was. The first time, they did not tell us about any kinks in the system such as, oh, maybe our driver getting into a car accident. The pizza took over 2 hours, because our driver got into an accident. This, I sort of understand. But there needs to be some communication and crisis-control involved that would have gotten another driver to our house while the first driver took care of his emergency. Nope, that poor guy still had to deliver our pizza, after being in a car accident with said pizza in the car. How was the actual pizza? I can say, without blinking an eye, that this was the absolute WORST pizza we have ever tasted in our entire lives. No amount of parmesan, sriracha, or pot could possibly made this thing taste edible. It was just gross, and I've failed at many attempts to make my own pizza. I still ate them. This one went in the garbage."

"I stopped by Interstate Draft House on their grand opening night for a drink after work and ended up nearly closing the place. The interior is cozy with a nice bar space and dining room in the back. And there's an adorable patio out back complete with a cute cat (which I think after about 8 vodkas we named Teabag???) We ordered the guacamole, calamari and seitan tips. Also had a bite of someone else's spinach pizza. GET THE SEITAN TIPS. Amazing. The place, food and staff are all awesome and I'm looking forward to going back soon!\n\nfyi: cash only for now while they get their credit card machines sorted out.",
"This place is awesome. I live in the neighborhood and was really looking forward to a new more low key eating and drinking establishment. The food was amazing....especially the seitan tips....excellent! And I am not vegetarian. Also the poblano corn soup. Friendly and comfortable. Looking forward to my next visit when I hope to enjoy the outdoor seating in the back.",
"We live on the same block as this place and have been very excited for it to open in the last few weeks. Tonight was their 3rd day of business and we went in for beers and dinner. The menu has an excellent variety that is served tapas style. Between the two of us we ordered 4 plates: Filet tips, seitan tips, broccoli rabe, and the black bean nachos. Everything was exceptional. I ordered my filet tips med rare and they were cooked perfectly. The filet tips and seitan tips are served with soft tortilla shells, shredded lettuce, and a spicy aioli, and for being tapas I felt as though the portions were a very nice size and very reasonably priced. The other reviews weren't lying... the seitan tips are very tasty. The black bean nachos are excellent - I loved the nacho chips (they were thicker than your average chip) and were topped with guac. My boyfriend loves broccoli rabe and that was also very very good...\n\nWe only ordered the Sly Fox Octoberfest beer and that too was excellent. I liked their beer selection and will definitely be going back to try others. The owner, Brandon stopped by to say hi and introduce himself. He seems like a very nice guy and we welcomed him to the neighborhood and wished him a lot of luck. I hope this place does extremely well. It's a very cool place and the decor is welcoming. The bar upfront has at least one tv - probably a cool spot to catch a Phillies or Flyers game for sure.\n\nThe patio out back is super cool and had I seen it before we sat down I probably would have wanted to sit outside. Its dangerous living so close to such a cool place. I definitely will be going back... soon. And I definitely will be bringing people along with me as well.",
"My beer buddy and I took a stroll here last night and what a night we had. Great selection of beers on tap and plenty of choices on the menu. We tried blackened string beans, pork tacos and black bean nachos. Everything was delicious. We will certainly be back.",
"A bright Interstate sign illuminates this great little new spot from an otherwise unremarkable block. I stopped in the other night to check out what it's all about.\n\nThe Interstate Draft House is a beer bar/gastropub rendition by the owner of the late Azure in Northern Liberties. Great craft beer selection is combined with pub and Mexican food. The atmosphere here is great; it's really cozy, dim with candles along the bar. A medium sized wooden bar runs half the length of the building and gives way to a dining room in the back. Good music plays in the background until the Phillies come on. And I love when bars play the sound for local sports casts.\n\nThere's on HD TV over the bar, and a chalkboard will the current beer selections. With the exception of the prices noted on the beer list (and this is a welcomed inclusion), many details are reminiscent of Memphis Taproom. I say this with a note of admiration. I was hoping this new spot would have a lower price point, but let's face it: Fishtown is expensive now. This place, in price and a lot of other ways, it right up there with Memphis and Kraftwork.\n\nThe staff here is attentive and friendly; more so than I expect. I did visit while the business was quite new, but these guys still seemed genuine. For the menu, there are a few options that sound great. The one downside is that the mains and all sides are separate. First, ordering a burger and getting just that on a plate is disappointing; somehow just wrong (fries are a right, not a privilege). Second, a simple meal can inflate to almost $20 with a main and a side.\n\nI ordered the Cubano, and this was a traditional representation of the delicious pressed sandwich. No complaints here; good ingredients, with special props to the spicy mustard. Rachel ordered the quesadilla and was happy with her order. The real treat was our order of fried plantains; sticky-sweet, perfectly cooked, and overall delicious. The might not be the best food to go with beer, but I'm happy to order them anytime nonetheless.\n\nI like to write a lot when I visit spots and I doubt most anyone reads the whole thing.\n\nThe Bottom Line: I like this spot, it will thrive. I hope that it can keep the neighborhood feel and not get overrun. Interesting beer lists and a tasty, albeit a bit overpriced food menu will keep the folks coming again and again.\n\nCash only at the moment.",
"Crabcake big, big enough it didn't need the brioche. And enough crab. You can't have too much crab, but you can have not enough. This had enough. Roasted beets were fantastic, with their candied walnuts and blue cheese. The mushroom and goat cheese quesidilla was really good, with the quesidilla itself done perfectly, not too brittle, not too soft. The fried sweet potatoes were really the best I've had so far. Very light, very crispy on the outside, and very sweet inside. One punkin beer, and one cider. Total bill with 20% tip was $51.00. A bargain as far as I'm concerned.\nThe outside seating was a very nice surprise we took advantage of, but it sure seemed roomy enough inside. \nReally a nice addition to the neighborhood.",
"I came for the craft beer, but fell in love with the food. Seitan chili, crab cake and blackened string beans were outstanding. Great service too! Pleasant outdoor seating.",
"Digging that I live right across the street from this place. Had the seitan tips and they were very good.\n\nSuggest some type of \"buffalo\" version of seitan. It'll be a huge hit guys, just do it. It's one thing every vegetarian person will probably order, and if it's good they will keep coming back, I promise!",
"great food. good prices. could do without the tv.",
"I walked in here wanting to absolutely love this place, and left rather disappointed. I truly feel if they want to stand out among the other fantastic beer-bars in the area (Memphis, Kraftwork, JBs) they are truly going to need to step it up. \n\nBeer - an average sized list of good micro brews that you can get elsewhere, but nowhere near the options that are offered at other establishments within a five min walk. Also - no real high or low end offerings. I like a place where you can take $15 a beer friends to mingle with $2 beer friends. Everything here was $4.50-7. Choices my friend! A lack of beer freedom is undamnamerican!! Heh. \n\nFood - The seitan tips were absolutely perfect. Spiced right, succulent, alios sauce delicious - I will be back for this. However the lack of side with said food is annoying. I ordered a broccoli rabe and the fry trio to compliment the tips. The greens were a hit, the fries were one out of three. Potato, plantain, and sweet potato. The potato were absolutely dry and only edible when soaked in one of the dipping sauces provided. How can you butcher such a simple thing? The plantain were wormlike. Slimy. Greasy. Foul tasting. I couldn't eat more than one. The sweet potato fries were a bit overdone but after the other two disgraces were welcomed. \n\nLocation - neighborhood bar setting with a mid to upscale palate. Parking is a premium, so I don't expect this to be an out-of-towners pilgrimage destination. \n\nOverall I was left with a literal bad taste in my mouth. I guess for mid-range prices I expect fresh, delicious food. I will return for the seitan - but that is all. \n\nI hope to hear stories of improvement. I'd love to see success for them."

"Good steaks for a goods price. Always reliable and get what is expected. Although, \"B\" rated customer service.",
"Best service at this outback compared to the ones around. Good food, very nice chef I haven't eaten better Salmon in any other outback",
"I always forget that this place has good food. I try to stay away from alot of chain restaurants and usually go somewhere else for steaks, but whenever I actually do come here I am always pretty impressed. For the price you can get some pretty good steak and the lobster is good as well.",
"The bloomin onions greasy and salty. The crab and avocado bland. The baby back ribs tender and melted in your mouth. The chicken and rib combo tender and smoked well. The trio desert delightful. The wallaby darned no liquor. The greeter friendly. The waitress bubbly.",
"I had a bad experience at an Outback before, so I was reluctant to go back, but this is where my Dad wanted to go for Father's Day, so that's where we went.\n\nWait time:\nWe did call ahead seating for 5:15pm on Father's Day and we waited 20 minutes. If we didn't call ahead, it would have been closer to 45, so not bad at all.\n\nDrinks:\nSoft drinks will run you about $2.50. I don't know how much the mixed drinks are, My dad and I both got beer. His 12 oz bottles of Yuengling were $4.75, and my 22 oz drafts of Fosters were $5.50. The bottle price is a little high for a bar, but the price for a 22 oz import draft was pretty good. We didn't wait long for drinks.\n\nFood: \nI think we waited a little bit long for food, but I'll attribute that to Father's Day. My dad got a 20 oz Porterhouse, which he said was delicious. My girlfriend got a Bloomin Sirloin, which she also thoroughly enjoyed. My food however....was a different story. I am not a big steak person, so I ordered a bacon cheeseburger, ordered it \"no pink\" at all. When it came out, I bit it into it and it was so pink it was almost RED. I immediately flagged down the waitress and told her. She apologized, took my burger and said they'd bring out a new one. A couple minutes later the manager stopped by and apologized as well. A couple minutes after that the manager and waitress brought out a brand new burger (with no onions like I ordered the original) with a brand new serving of mashed potatoes too, and the manager had me cut the burger to make sure it was how I wanted it, which it was.\n\nCheck:\nThey comped my burger, which was awesome of them because I didn't expect them to nor did I get too angry about my burger in the first place.\n\nThe total bill for 3 people (including drinks, before the comp) was about $81. Alcohol, dessert, and additional side accounted for about $28 of that. So all in all, it was pretty fair priced.\n\nGiven that my dad and girlfriend loved their meals so much. I am willing to accept that my burger was undercooked because of the business of the day, I'd be willing to go back because of the fair priced drinks and customer service. 3rd times a charm, right?",
"We had a party of 6. It's not our first time here but lord the staff seemed like they all just started. We were seated but never brought the menu. The hostess forgot. The server was pretty good. Pretty experienced. Took all of our food orders and brought the food. One problem was one of the burger order had a long piece of hair cooked in with the onion rings that topped the burger. My poor son had to wait for a new burger. Not even sure if he got a new burger but maybe just new onion rings to top his burger.\n\nOther times including the grand opening of this place was excellent. This time their were so many mistakes and just off.",
"Solid Outback, and I've never had a problem getting a seat at the bar. My steaks have come out as ordered and they were only out of prime rib one time.\n\nKeep in mind that the location is terrible for cell phone service and they don't have wifi. In that respect, it is a decent low priced date location.",
"'Good, okay and good'. Good start with the appetizer, Blooming Onions, warm bread and drinks. My girl got the steak and shrimp with a baked potato. Firstly, if you're not going to fit an entree on a huge plate that they served it on then don't put it on a huge plate. Looked like a dinky piece of flat steak and four pieces of shrimp on a stick; which it was. I got the new Aussie steak tacos with a loaded potato. The tacos were good, had some nice side sauce with it. The loaded potato was nothing more than few bacon bits and sour cream. So that was the 'okay' part of the visit. The last 'good' was the desert. Ice cream with warm apples, always good anywhere. Overall, decent meal but not what I was thinking for a steakhouse.",
"Went there last night for new year day dinner. Wait was 10 mins or so. Not bad. Appetizer of calamari was good. Ordered 3 entrees of steak (fillet mignon, my strip and rib eye). All cooked according to our specs. Nothing to complain. The only thing that was not good at all was the service. In fact, it was bordering on ridiculousness. The server came over within the minute after the salad was served and asked, how's the salad. What are we supposed to say? We haven't even picked up our forks. Yet, she never came to ask if our steaks were alright. Had to ask for steak sauce twice. My husband asked for some butter for his baked potato which never came. She brought us our dessert (trio sampler) and placed it the middle of the table but didn't bother to clear away the dinner plates. Really?",
"My lady & I were headed out for dinner at Library II just up the street from Outback but Library II was packed with an hour and 45 min. wait. \"F\" that !! We went to Outback.\nWe sat at the bar to eat. We ordered dinner and were surprised at the small portions of food. The salad was literally a hand full of lettuce. Maybe 3 mouths full. The calamari was all bread or dough and tasteless. The steak I ordered was a 9 oz but really about 6 or 7. The sweet potato was literally the size of a tennis ball. All this for the low low price of $21.00. So has our economy gotten so bad that the prices go up and the portions get smaller to survive in the restaurant business? Its a rip off."

"The bright yellow sign in a drab plaza beckons your groaning, morning stomach.\n\nATMOSPHERE\nIf you have \"bagels\" in your title-- either do bagels proud or go home... and Stu's lives up to it! See-through displays of all their bagel types make up 34 of their counter space. Press your nose against the glass and inhale the bready smell of the store. Minimum amount for credit card purchases--get your order and get out because there's no tables or chairs inside.\n\nFOOD\nThe bagels are melty soft inside with a springy crust. No need to toast. There's at least a dozen varieties and even \"small\" bagels (never tried yet). I've had a few spreads from the two dozen choices and each has had a soft, cream cheese flavor with a VERY light, whipped texture. Tastes homemade. \n\nBagels and spreads reign here--don't expect to find anything beyond that. Limited drinks. Coffee is meh.\n\nSERVICE\nConga lines can be found! Stu seems to know his regulars and is a very cheery face. This place is a great find.",
"Hands down best bagels in Pinellas. Stu (owner) is a great guy and bakes like no other.",
"What's not to like about a freshly made bagel? \n\nStu's House of Bagels has been here for years. He has a good variety of freshly made bagels and also cream cheese spreads, plain, chive, veggie and lox. They will toast your bagel and add a spread for you also.\n\nThe location is in a sad looking strip mall on the SE corner on Belcher Rd near Ulmerton Rd. it's right next to Finley's Irish Pub & Eatery.",
"Stew's House of Bagels has my favorite bagels in Florida! (Frida's Cafe and Bakery is my second favorite) There is nothing not good here at Stew's - so if you can't decide what to get just come back a second time because they're open 7 days a week. The bagels are super fresh, New York authentic, and they don't fool around when it comes to toppings because the bagels definitely are covered with what type of topping you get. They also have great bagel sandwiches like egg salad, tuna salad and fried egg and cheese. (Writing this review is making me want to have one of their bagels right now!) The staff are very friendly and helpful. Let's get to the grand finale: the desserts! The desserts are all fantastic! They all taste very homemade and fresh. The chocolate chip cookies are good, the chocolate cigars are delicious and the chocolate rugelach are OMG good!",
"Best Bagel I've ever had! They are so big and fluffy and so good. Not chewy in the least bit. \n\nonly thing I'll complain about is the service. I've gone there 3 times and the lady behind the counter leaves much to be desired. She always cashes me out without asking if I'm staying or going or if I wanted anything else. so I always have to ask for my drink after she tells me the total and she will tally it up again.\n\nhad to ask for a plate and knife so we could sit inside. maybe nobody actually stays there to eat?\n\n\nthe marble cookie looked delicious but tasted about 4 days old. the chocolate chip was on point though!\n\n\ndefinitely my new favorite bagel place. to me, it beats cleawater bagels any day!",
"Finally found a real bagel shop. These are literally the best bagels. New York had nothing in these bagels. They also have pretzels and some other things, but the bagels are a must. This place is worth the drive no matter where you are.",
"READ THIS POST VERY CAREFULLY! Put down that fake New York Bagel you're eating or thinking about eating right now and get to Stew's House of Bagels! THE BEST BAGELS YOU WILL EVERY HAVE OUT OF NY. I asked them if they imported the NY water as well. The texture of the bagels remind me of home. No .99 cents cheap dinner roll texture here! The texture has character and great taste. You know a bagel is good when you can eat it un-toasted with no toppings straight from the bag uncut. The price is even reasonable unlike some of those bagel chain places that have flat tasting bagels! (oh yeah ask for the vegetable cream cheese! Wow!) Yum yum yum get you some today! Hope my review helped you pick the right spot! Peace. :)",
"I agree with the other posts, put down those imitation N.Y. bagels and head on over to Stew's. I've been going there for over 10 years and without question THESE ARE \"DA BEST\". I'm originally from N.Y. and bagels have always been on my plate at breakfast, so take my advise. On your next bagel run \"GO DA STEW'S\", he also makes great giant Italian cookies and those big N.Y. pretzels that you by from the street vendors in Times Square and in other parts of N.Y. City.",
"Finally! This is the closest I have found to the Ultimate Bagel in the Tampa Bay area! If I could, I'd go for a 4.5 rating thanks to the cool vibe and look of the store (it's got more than a few miles of hard-working wear and tear), the service and the taste.\n\nThis is not a designer bagel shop, so don't look hard for the bin of Asiago Prosciutto Arugula bagels or Lemon Honey infused types either. The standard lineup is available, so go for the plain, pumpernickel, everything, poppy, sesame and the like.\n\nThe bagels are fresh, taste just right, and are habit-forming. The only thing that prevents a five-star rating is the need for a little more exterior crunch. Once that is achieved, Stew' house Of Bagels will surely receive the Regional Bagel Award for the area. In the mean time, this place is a very good find!",
"Awesome bagels! Closest to NY bagels we have found down here... Good variety of types, very friendly staff.. Bagels are $1 each! Close proximity to the house makes it a frequent stop!"

"I love on the Border! The food is good but that is not why I love on the border. The bartenders are great. They are friendly, laid back and you can tell that they enjoy their jobs. I visited this location today after being a way for a while. The bartender knew what I normally drank and ate. Now THAT is service. He then asked me where had I been. I just felt special.\n\nOh!! They also let me order the kids chicken enchilada...shhh its not even on the menu :-)",
"Yeah, it's a chain. Still, probably my favorite chain Mexican Restaurant. They have always supplied lots of chips and salsa (which is a pet peeve of mine when places are conservative with them). The food is delicious and not crazy priced. \n\nThis is good for dates or large family gatherings. There is also a patio for nice days. All in all, this place tops Don Pablo's and Chi Chi's in my opinion.",
"Although a chain, this Mexican restaurant is great! \n I am a big fan of guacamole and feel it really makes or breaks a mexican restaurant! The guacamole is excellent at On the Border. You can even order it as an appetizer and they will come to your table and make it \"Live\" for you. You get to watch the process and eat the amazing results! Their salsa is also wonderful. Not to spicy or sweet, just right. They have consistently quick and good service.\n I also like their \"Build your own Burrito\" card. You get to check off ingredients on a list and create your own burrito, just the way you like it! It's great for those picky eaters who know exactly what they do and do not want! This is a great Mexican choice if you are in Avon!",
"The drinks are better than the food. Great margaritas! Oh, and the Red Sangria is one of my favorites. I've tried a lot of entrees over the years, only to be disappointed at the food. I'm happy just to eat the chips, salsa, and nice bowl of their queso blanco.",
"We've been here a couple of times. We always come back for the margaritas! Ha. The food is pretty delicious though. I've only sampled a few things from their menu but from what i've tasted they get an extra star. Everything from their appetizers to the entrees tasted great and left me satisfied. You must try the Dos Equis Fish Tacos. They are delicious if you like fish.",
"No drink prices & server didn't know either; crispiest chile relleno ever had; grilled burrito was good; presentation seem most important and was nice; music a little loud; would come back if in the area",
"Good Mexican food, especially the chips, queso and salsa. Top noch. Decent beer selection, wish they had more options on tap. Can get pretty loud in there, like on a Friday night. One of the only places I can go, order one burrito and have it be more than enough for me. Right off of Rockville Road in Avon. On The Border is good stuff.",
"Great food! Wow I wasn't sold on eating here, it would not be my choice for Mexican. But I was totally wrong! The food was awesome. White quest to die for. Had the Ranchilias meal ... Yum! kids meal includes a sundae... Way to win over a three year old. Gotta try it folks...I didn't want to either but so glad I did",
"We just keep going back. The food is really great. Each menu item I have selected has been wonderful. I always leave stuffed. On a side note - we went through 6 high chairs before they could find one that wasn't broken - c'mon - that is a problem.",
"I've been to On the Border twice. Both times, because friends wanted to dine there.\n\nIf I could sum up both experiences in one word, it would be \"adequate\". The service, the food, the atmosphere, all adequate.\n\nBut if I'm going to spend my hard earned money on a meal out, I don't want adequate. Still if friends want to eat there, I'll return, but it'll never be on my short list."

"We are so excited about this new location! The service was good, but they are still learning the menu. The decor celebrates south Tampa, making it unique!\n\nWe ordered a couple of items off of the under 600 calories plates and they were much better than expected. Very filling and flavorful. \n\nI expect that we will be back allot.",
"Just another Applebee's. Mediocre food, bad service, music was too loud, and it was freezing in there. Given the fact that this location is on Gandy in South Tampa, I expected a little too much. I thought the service would have been top notch given the location, but I was wrong. \n\nOur server was a nice girl, but she forgot our appetizer, which ended up coming out after our meal. She also forgot to take our entree orders for 30minutes. We had no silverware on our tables and after forgetting about us, she didn't even bother to make amends and come back to check on us. \n\nThe manager came over conveniently at the same time our waitress dropped off the bill, which made it a little awkward to give him feedback. \n\nSo, instead, I came to Yelp to inform management that your establishment isn't any different than any other average run-of-the-mill chain restaurant. If I can even call it a restaurant. \n\nThe only positive thing I have to stay is, the decor was nice. \n\nWith many other choices to eat in south Tampa, I'd save your money and time and choose another place to eat. Thanks, but no thanks Applebee's.",
"We live nearby and went to check out the new restaurant at about 5pm tonight (a Sunday night) with our 21 year old daughter. Upon entering we were greeted at the front door by blaring pop music coming from an exterior overhead speaker. It startled us. When we entered I could NOT hear the hostess and she could NOT hear me because the music was so loud. We asked for a table for 3 and sat to wait. We were never told how long the wait was and I don't think I asked because I was trying to take it all in and I was wondering if I had somehow landed in a 20 something night club. (I say \"20 something\" because of the genre of music.) We waited a few minutes and my daughter was getting very irritated with the music because we couldn't hear each other to talk. She wanted to leave. As we were leaving I noticed a lot of open tables outside and asked the hostess if we could sit there to eat. She said yes. I wondered why we weren't given the option to sit outside when we arrived and were asked to wait. And when we were leaving I did tell the hostess why but we were not offered the outside option ?? We sat outside and endured the music which was almost as loud as inside. There's a metal railing exit door located outside that was slammed about 50 times by people exiting the restaurant. We had to ask for silverware. \n\nWhat we ordered:\nThe wedge salad was very good.\nHouse salad was very good, very fresh.\nSalmon dinner with broccoli. The salmon was fishy and definitely frozen before preparing.\nThe standard burger with fries was very good.\n\nWe will give it another try and hope that the music is not as loud because the menu did look pretty good.",
"They need to train their servers better on the specials and how to treat customers. We asked what the 2 for 1 specials were and our server said it was only 2 for 1 on Bahama mamma's. I ordered a margarita and the runner gave me two, when I told her I only ordered one she Said oh they are two for one. We then over heard another server say there was wells,margaritas,drafts and long islands on the 2 for 1. So I'm glad we were made to feel stupid when we told our server we thought there was more on the 2 for 1's.\n\nThen to top it off we ordered off the 2 for 20 menu and told our server specially that is what we wanted to do. When she brought the check she stood there complaining that we needed to tell her upfront. Sorry we pointed at the special and said it. What happened to the customer is always right and not fighting with them when it's your mistake. I know she may be new but this is just not acceptable for someone in the service industry.",
"Horrible service...\nEntered to a young lady with a lovely smile \"steering\" me toward the bar with specials only available at the bar. I was dining alone so I didn't have a problem with not sitting at a table or booth. What I did have a problem with was sitting at the bar for over 5 minutes without being greeted or asked if I'd like anything to drink while the couple to my right (who were there first) were offered by both bartenders and then the gentleman to my left was greeted immediately upon his arrival. I did find out that the blond bartender was \"so happy right now\" about something. Got up. Walked toward the door to be intercepted by the young lady who originally greeted me at the door. I explained the issue to which she offered to find me a \"more attentive server\". Having lost my appetite for anything Applebee's, I replied that I was \"done\" and walked out. As ALL of the preceding reviews have noted and my title of this review - horrible service. I would think the management would recognize what their up against in S Tampa and bring their \"A Game\" but I suppose that's too much to expect. Bottom line: Not worth it, Don't go.",
"This Applebee's just recently opened and some of the sever still do not know some of the specifics of the menu. Yet the food choices were quite good and tasty, especially the ribletts and chipotle sauce. \nTheir happy hour is very reasonable with generous pours. \nWe look forward to returning and trying other items on their menu.",
"Came here to meet friends for Applebee's all day two for one happy hour. I've been to a fair share of Applebee's. Living in small towns where \"club Applebee's\" becomes a legitimate hangout, I was floored to see the difference in this location from all the others. The service was horrible!! Where did they get their training program? Oscar the grouches play book I assume. It seriously seemed like we were a pain and hassle for our bright crimson headed pre-law bartender. There was another bartender there that seemed much happier to be there but also incredibly vulgar. She used many expletives in describing a story where a friend was video taped being intimate with someone in the bathroom. Not really the Applebee's vibe I've come to know. Just don't go!",
"Excellent ribs with chipotle bbq sauce with the right amount of heat. They were tender and very meaty. I would order this again and recommend them strongly.",
"As a short description , right after i got my dinner here i felt stomachache , 1 hour later i got diarrhea \n,and to this moment (2:15 AM) i'm sick ,\nBad service , bad food, loud music .\nTo be fair they have Good location , good decor , this all positive we found",
"Greeted with a smile at the door. Started with the spinach artichoke dip - I will get it again. The oriental chicken salad is a go to- love the crispy noodles, almond slices, and the vinaigrette on it. \n\nI will say this is the third time visit. The service is gradually improving from below sub par. Tonight, Sunday night, our server Amanda did her job and was the best so far. \n\nI do think the best bet here would be to go for the half price apps and drinks late night ."

"This is based on deliver\nOrdered\nNaked Buffalo Wings: good meat to bone ratio, thin skin ( which I like I hate all that fatty crap that takes over half of the wing)\nCurly fries: what you would expect, very crispy, seemed overly fried.\nGarlic knots: it is actually a Pillsbury croissant that had been brushed with butter, garlic and parsley. Eh\n Never gotten the pizza yet from there. Your basic delivery munchies fare, but it satisfied my grease fix.",
"The pizza here is the best in the area in my opinion. Curly fries were just OK because they weren't hot on delivery.",
"Best pizza on the RT3 hike from 202-RT1. Margarita is excellent.\n\nIt's their crust and sauce that do the trick. Cheese not too gobby either. \n\nMade with care, the way it ought to be, I am rating this 5* for suburban pizza. Of course wood fired oven is a true 5*--but how often is that in suburbs?",
"so i'll start by saying, for $20 total - we got 2 HUGE pizzas, and a decent size order of curly fries. awesome freaking deal.\n\nthe pizzas are not only huge (talking about the jumbo sized ones), but they are really freaking good. i'm a chewy crust and cheese kinda guy, and the crust was fluffy and chewy, and so was the cheese. sauce had good flavor too, and growing up in an italian family, i know when sauce sucks.\n\ncurly fries were pretty good as well. they sat in my car for 5-10 minutes before we ate them, so they got a little soggy, but they had good flavor, just that TINY bit of spice that is so standard in curly fries, and a good texture to them as well. if they were fresh they woulda been even better.\n\nthe staff was real nice as well when we went to pick up the order, and everything was ready in like 10-15 mins. awesome stuff.\n\nconsidering i live like 2 mins down the street, i will be back here whenever i have a pizza craving, and i also consider you guys give it a shot.",
"Loved the pizza :) the delivery guy was nice. and the person on the phone didn't get upset when i called back 3 times to check the order & delivery times... lol, I'm new to the area, i was nervous. overall A+ thanks for an awesome pie with great customer service :D",
"We loved the pizza here. We always get the veggie special. It is a great white pizza. Their pepperoni and plain Is good too. Wings just ok. Good for the area.",
"Good Pizza, Good Cheesesteak and fast and friendly delivery",
"I ordered pizza here when I visited my parents. It's baller. \n\nSeriously. \n\nHoney Mustard Chicken Pizza? \nBaller.\n\nBacon Cheeseburger Pizza?\nBaller.\n\nTaco Pizza?\nBaller.\n\nAlso, did I mention that it is all diet food? \nBecause, if I did, I was lying.",
"This place is one of the best pizza places around, but the thing is I never order pizza here, only burgers. Many folks wouldn't order a burger from a pizza place, but i'm glad i did because the burgers here are legit amazing. the buns are so fresh, and they are some of the best i have tasted, all of the different combinations and everything available is just awesome, so many combinations possible. the fries are good and the wraps are decent so basically this place rules",
"We order from Jumbo at least once a week. Delivery is fast and coureous. The food is excellent. \n\nTry the Chicken Ranchero Cheesesteak. Awesome! \n\nThe pizza also disappears within minutes of its arrival, since it is delicious from the crust to the sauce and toppings. They offer garlic as a topping, which we love. However, I wish it was fresh garlic cloves right on top as we are garlic fiends. The topping they offer is minced or crushed in some way. \n\nTheir wings would be the only complaint I have. We ordered the garlic wings and all I tasted really was oil. They did not have a garlic flavor. The wings are also rather small in my opinion. The flavors I do like of the wings are hot and cajun. The cajun is a nice dry rub that my lady and I can agree on.\n\nIn summary, they are freaking awesome and I can't wait for my order to get here since I am typing this while a delivery is on its way!"

"I love Texas Roadhouse, you can get a cheap steak and good drinks. I love their peach margarita. The sirloin can't be beat and don't forget a loaded sweet potato. OH and the bread, don't get my started, I go into diabetic shock just thinking about it with that cinnamon butter!\n\nUsually a shorter wait than the Greenwood Location.\n\nHappy Dining!",
"A great chain restaurant, which I like even more than Outback, something I never thought I'd finally say about any competiting chains, vs. them. Prices are more modest than Outback, and a fun gimmick about here is that you get to throw peanuts on the floor! Allison is totally right about the bread, since I even tested how the bread tasted without the butter, and it tastes just as great. I'm very, very glad that I talked my parents into going here on the way back from my recent trip to Georgia, especially since I'd kept wanting to try Texas Roadhouse for some time.\n\nIt's too bad they have very, very few locations in the Chicagoland area, other than in Naperville, Tinley Park, and Joliet. Hope eventually, they do get around to putting one in the north suburbs of Chicago, since I'd love to see them further expand in the Chicago area.",
"this was my 1st time in In I found a Texas Roadhouse here, It was a great experience, I had a great waiter named Corey, very helpful with all my needs. The steak I ordered was cooked just right and my mixed drink was made perfect. In one phase it's all Good at the Roadhouse",
"I went to his restaurant to celebrate my daughter's birthday. It was on a Sunday and the place was packed but they told us they had a table. After parading us through the entire place, except for the kitchen, we were eventually seated. \n\nIt took like forever to get a waitress to finally wait on us. The one we got had a slight attitude and it was even reflected more so in how she brought our drinks and food. \n\nI know finding someone to work these days is difficult, but with the hard economic times and high unemployment, you kind of would think that they people they would have working wouldn't be ticked off. Of course, in all fairness, she probably was made because nobody would give her much of a tip for the level of service she delivered...or failed to deliver to be more accurate. \n\nIts not like you are going to a McDonalds. WHen you pay almost a $100 for a meal, you expect some good food. There food was just OK. Nothing special...nothing to rave about....but average enough that you really don't think very hard about going back. \n\nThese cookie cutter restaurants have been over built and their service and quality of food is not consistent with the amount of money they charge.",
"Ken and his staff are fabulous and the food is always tastey! You won't regret choosing to eat here! My husband got the ribs which he said were the best he'd ever had. We really like Chili's ribs but he said they were better than that. I got the cheeseburger and fries. It was seasoned perfectly as the fries were as well. The Ranger Rib Basket was perfect for my picky eater. Overall a great experience. We only waited about 10 min for a table. Which was not too bad considering we were there during the after church rush!",
"Arrived after the \"early bird\" window (ends at 6pm); not a big deal but didn't expect to wait 10 min for a 4 top. Food was good but I really wanted prime rib (med) yet by 6pm they were sold out? (It wasn't even a special item). Then the waiter came back & said the cook could do one (well done); *WTH* that's just abuse. If he could get one (well done), then stop cooking it now and serve it to me. I was eating with the family, so I settled for chicken crispers and mashed potatoes. -1 for not having what I wanted; -1 more for offering to serve me leather.",
"My family and I came here from California on a road trip. We were staying at the Best Western Inn, which is not even 50 paces from the steak house.\n\nUpon entering the place, I noticed something that was a little alarming... The floor was CLEAN! If you have ever been to a Texas Roadhouse, you know there are barrels of peanuts in the waiting room, and small trash cans full on every table. People are encouraged to help themselves while they wait, and throw the shells on the floor. The floor was immaculate! I wasn't the only one that was hesitant to throw my shells on the floor... You could see people meandering around in the lobby with shells in their hand. This was very disappointing. This is one of the novelties of Texas Roadhouse. The floors at every other franchise I have been to have been COVERED in peanut shells.\n\nWe called ahead because we are veterans. There's no way I would take my children here and wait in the lobby without calling ahead. The average wait on a busy night is 30 to 40 minutes. A table was ready for us when we arrived.\n\nOn our way to the table, we noticed that this particular location was very cramped. Our greeter attempted to seat my one and a half year old at the end of our table, in arms reach of another family's food. We had to ask to remove a chair instead and sit the high chair in it's place. This seemed like common sense to me. We ordered waters for the kids, and margaritas for the wife and I. While we were waiting, I noticed there were TRASH PAILS on the table for the peanut shells! There were very few shells on the floor, and in the spirit of the roadhouse, I threw all of mine on the floor, and encouraged the kids to do the same. Some others were following suit.\n\nA new family came to sit down, and two of an existing group of customers had to get out of their seats so the new customers could get by. There was NO way they could squeeze by. The chairs had to be pushed all the way in to allow safe passage.\n\nIt was at this point, before we placed our order, that I heard another lady at the table next to ours talking about her steak. She had returned her first portion because it was too rare. She ordered medium rare, and in her words, \"It was still mooing at her\". I saw her meat, and it was bright pink, soggy, and tore loose from itself in a shredding action rather than a tender, red, juicy rare steak. It was clearly cold and raw.\n\nThis lady was a portly woman, about two and a quarter, and her husband wasn't far behind. He had finished off his chicken and was grimacing at his wife's pile of cold flesh on her plate. It looked like something out of a horror movie, or worse, something Rocky just finished punching for an hour.\n\nShe sent her food back a second time, and the waiter was very apologetic, and hurried to the back with the cold dripping slop. You don't go to a steak house and order a hot dog, but It was at this point that I decided to order my steak medium well to be on the safe side. I figured it would arrive at the table medium rare, and that would be fine.\n\nThe poor portly lady's steak arrived for the third try, and... It was raw. She boxed it up and took it with her, no doubt to finish the cook's job at home herself.\n\nMy steak was presented to me on a nice hot plate, with fries and jack cheese on top. Then I saw it... The nightmare of every chef... STEAK SAUCE on the table. No self respecting steak house provides steak sauce unless a patron asks for it. A steak should stand alone on seasoning and inherent flavor brought out by proper cooking.\n\nMy steak was leather, with some shoe strings mixed in for good measure. It might have been gristle, but I wouldn't have bet on it. I am not one to complain (although I do like a tell a story here and there) but I had to tell the waiter how horrible the steak was AFTER I paid the check. She wanted to bring the manager over, but I told her no, that's why I paid it first. I don't want my check discounted. I just wanted the manager to talk to the cook.\n\nThe restrooms were not air conditioned. Enough said about that.\n\nThe service was good, and the rest of the food was great. The margaritas were not strong enough. They were more like smoothies. My wife ordered chicken and mushrooms, and her meal tasted great. For this reason, and for the good service, I give this location two stars.",
"Huge margaritas the size of my head for less than $10!! \nOne less star because our server was kinda weird...he dropped off our check like a drive by shooting. No thank you no nothing...weird.",
"I like that the quality at Texas Roadhouse is consistent. The wait staff is attentive and, though very young overall, not lost in a haze of being too hip for diners. I love the call-ahead seating. The last couple of visits, my steaks have been cooked properly as I ordered them. At most steakhouses I expect to receive my steak cooked at least medium-well regardless of how I order it. My wife has never been disappointed in the ribeye, her usual selection. The atmosphere is fun and the place is usually crowded. I definitely look forward to going.",
"Nice stakes cooked to order. Friendly, efficient wait staff. Prices were reasonable."

"I'm a fan! Went to Nudy's this morning for breakfast on the recommendation of one of my co-workers! And, she didn't let me down. \n\nThis is a nice place with excellent food, service, and pricing. I had the banana pancakes with 2 eggs and ham. The pancakes are the bomb! The bananas are in the batter and are just delicious. We rated them an 11 on a 10 point scale. You could order the pancakes alone, but for $2.50 more, why not the eggs and ham. And we're talking about a nice slice of ham steak!\n\nMy daughter and I shared the pancakes in trade for her giving me a bit of her hash brown potatoes. No one was a loser in this deal.\n\nThe service was excellent. Very prompt and courteous staff. We will definitely be back. This may become our favorite breakfast spot. It's close to the house and the food, service and pricing are excellent. Highly recommend you try it.",
"Went back to Nudy's today with the family. It was a hit all around. Tried the french toast with walnuts and bananas. It was the bomb! Can't decide if I like the french toast or banana pancakes better. Nudy's is 2 for 2. Our server was Erin. Great service. You gotta go here for breakfast. You won't be disappointed.",
"Very good breakfast food with decent variety. At my table the biggest hits were the Apple-cake French Toast and the Banana Pancakes. The only reason I didn't rate it 4 stars was the below average service and slightly stark decor.",
"Love their fresh fruits side. Breakfast is always great here. I order breakfast as lunch on weekdays here. Who need to wait for Sunday brunch? :)",
"This is my favorite place for breakfast. Everything is freshly made rather than pre-packaged and reheated. I've become a weekend regular because the food is just awesome and the employees are always so nice. My one negative comment is that it seems like they've recently changed from tasty orange juice to the frozen concentrate. YUCK! Other than that, I love everything about this place.",
"Great homey spot. Good selection of breakfast options. Usually get the French toast or an omelet. They offer breakfast all day so you can pop in one afternoon and enjoy a good omelet. They also have food to go so I occasionally get something to go for lunch since I work close by. Prices are about average. Would definitely recommend. Almost forgot! The chicken cheesesteak is awesome. Chucks of real chick breast. A def must try",
"This was a really great breakfast spot. The inside of it is plain but the service was awesome and food is delicious/ very reasonably priced.\n\nI got the pancakes and eggs and the boyfriend got pumpkin spice pancakes and eggs. We both enjoyed the meal.\n\nWhat turns this into a five star review was the waitress, Tai. She was so pleasant and attentive and helpful she made this place go from 3/4 stars to 5. Always refilled coffee, fast to bring out the food and the extra requests for butter. The staff seemed very attentive overall here so if that's important to you then you'll enjoy this place.",
"We love this neighborhood breakfast spot. Food is good. Service is good. Price is good. We miss the outdoor tables, though.",
"For a small chain, I think this is the gem of the family. The service is very good and responsive. The food for breakfast and lunch is excellent. This is a fun place to go on a weekend morning for brunch, but the problem is it can get slammed and sometimes near impossible to get a seat. \n\nTip: weekends, go as early as possible. \n\nThe sandwiches are also very good.",
"THE best place for breakfast! You have got to try the Lox and Cream Cheese Omelet and the Carrot Cake French Toast is out of the world!! The portions are big and the service is prompt and courteous"

"I was excited to check out this new walk-up place, so I swung by after eating dinner nearby at our favorite spot Mas Tacos. It did not disappoint. \n\nFriendly folks at the window, and some very tasty sounding items on the menu. I went with the Big Rube, a biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, goat cheese, and pepper jelly. Oh boy, it's good. The biscuit is fresh and flaky, and the whole thing is just a great combination of sweet, salty, spicy, and my other favorite... fried. \n\nI'll be back for sure, and the menu has a few other things I'm psyched to try. A great addition to the neighborhood.",
"OK, guys. Yes. This place but I've been waiting for!! There's not a quick place to get a biscuit breakfast items or plain biscuits on the east side. I'm always craving them and wondering where I can go just to get some biscuits to take home so I can slather my own butter on them. They have custom breakfast sandwiches here plus plain biscuits at a great price. They are super sweet and everything is amazingly delicious!!",
"Wow! Great chicken biscuit & great dang - sandwich. (Ck. out the menu) Go by meet the guys running the place & get you some #tastygoodness.",
"We live around the corner from Ruby Ann's and tried it today. The grown ups split a Dang Sandwich and Big Rube. Both very delicious! Soft bun, crispy and juicy chicken. The fries were awesome! A shape I've never seen before, which we called \"twist slide\". Kids each had a hot dog, and the 5 year old said \"This sure is a good hot dog.\" For reference, he doesn't even like all types of Mac n cheese, so this is high praise. \n\nThe prices are awesome and they are open on Sundays. Next we'll try the soft serve!",
"Oh. My. Goodness. \n\nThis place is awesome. I definitely suggest checking it out (especially after an evening of over indulging). It's super easy to order and it only took us about 10 minutes to get our food. The biscuits are perfect. Think soft, buttery, melt in your mouth goodness. The sandwiches are a good size, so one is enough for a meal. I also suggest getting a side of their fries. They are seasoned really well and just overall delicious.",
"The chicken biscuit was the best I've ever had. We went last weekend for the first time, and even though they didn't have the fries, I still gave it 5 stars!!",
"Wow! I tried this place about an hour ago and I could walk back for another Big Rube right now. \n\nFood: I came for a biscuit sandwich and a biscuit sandwich is what I got! Big Rube is filled with chicken fried to perfection (they consider making this a stand alone), goat cheese, and pepper jam. I am not a huge fan of goat cheese yet somehow all of these flavors make a wonderful medley. The biscuits are big, flakey, and buttery. Pepper jam? Sweet with a tinge of spicy. The fries are also unique in their cut but are thick, crispy, and salty! The menu also has a number of non-biscuit items and ice cream for dessert. \n\nAtmosphere: I wouldnt care if this place was in a bathroom somewhere, I'd still risk it for the biscuit. That being said, there is limited parking and about 1.5 places for people to sit. Either walk there and munch or drive and go somewhere else. I would recommend calling ahead if youre trying to snag a quick breakfast. I believe they make everything to order. \n\nGreat food! Great price!",
"We recently headed to Ruby Ann's for breakfast. We're in a bit of breakfast desert so we were really excited about their menu. After one trip, I was sold! I ordered the new wave (spinach, cheese, tomato, and egg) and my hubby had the chicken biscuit. They were both excellent and the price was right! I will absolutely be back to try their burger and snowstorm. This is a welcome addition to the McFerrin Corner and I know this will move into our regular rotation.",
"Yo. Stop what you're doing right now and go to Ruby Ann's. Order the Big Rube. No questions. Just do it.",
"The Rube biscuit & the classic biscuit - and the fries - were amazing! A little disappointed in the wait time, but as long as you've got a couple minutes to spare waiting for something extremely delicious, definitely make the stop. Not much seating at all so I'd recommend taking it to go somewhere else. Prices were great for a super satisfying breakfast."

"Hmm... it seems that yelp has taken off the hours of operation function when adding a new business?.... that's a shame, it's useful!\nAnyway.. here are the hours for Senor Frog's:\nHours: Tue-Sat 11am-9pm, Sun 7:30am-9pm, Mon Closed\n\nI was pleasantly surprised by the quaint and welcoming warm glow of the interior of the restaurant. They have a pretty typical menu of mexican fare, but I noticed that they did not have tamales, which was what I really wanted... oh well... the chile verde burrito sounds good too. I got the chile verde burrito with rice and black beans ($8), my bf got the chile colorado tacos with rice and beans ($10) and our friends got shrimp tacos ($12), and a combo of a taco and an enchilada ($11). \n\nI actually like that they do not sprinkle cheese on any of the items, so the beans and rice are \"dry\" but that's the way I prefer it. I wouldn't say it was super \"authentic\" but more like as authentic as El Torrito is... \n\nAll in all it was fair prices and tasty food. \n\nHighly recommended if you want a fast, tasty mexican meal!",
"Senor Frog's is a nice place for a meal. Overall, I was quite satisfied. The restaurant was clean. A bit too clean...sterile. SF doesn't exhibit any uniqueness or culture. It feels like an ordinary restaurant that serves Mexican style cuisine.\n\nWith that said, the food was pretty good. My order of the enchiladas was very nice. The portions were smaller than I expected, which is a good thing. Some restaurants provide enormous portions. I don't want to feel stuffed and the portions at Senor Frog's are perfect. That means feel free to order appetizers, no need to worry about ruining your appetite. \n\nSince I was craving more food, I really felt like dessert. It turns out the only dessert available was Flan, which in my opinion is not so good. Pass... Since the dessert was unacceptable, we dropped into McDonald's. Yes, I had a McFlurry.\n\nThe service was okay. The waitress was friendly, but I get annoyed when the don't refill my drink in a timely manner. It wasn't until the end of the meal when they finally refilled by soda, leaving me thirsty throughout much of the stay. No, the restaurant was not crowded. This was a Thursday night and only a few other people were in the restaurant.\n\nOverall, I wouldn't be opposed to returning, but It wouldn't be my top choice.",
"Overall, not a great experience. Poor quality ingredients. There was something very off about the pork dish I had. (Pork was pink through and through and had a \"fishy\" taste.) To the staff's credit, they took the dish back and brought out something new for me in a timely fashion. On the other hand, they weren't the most attentive staff ever. With only two other tables filled, we were constantly waving them down for refills, etc. I left feeling very unsatisfied (and praying I wouldn't get ill from the pork!).",
"Okay, I really hate to slam a place but here is my true story. \n\n First off, I live in Carpinteria and have driven and walked passed Senior Frogs on almost a daily basis. In ten years I have never even been inside the place. So, last night, unable to decide where to eat, I took my wife to Senor Frogs. \n\n The decor was nice, clean, and well lighted. We were seated promptly, well supplied with water, tea, chips and salsa, but all other interaction with the wait staff was of our urging. Not because they were busy either. As I looked around at the four other occupied tables I noticed a couple of things, first were the empty glasses, second, they were filled with tourists (the tables, not the glasses.) It seems my fellow Carpinterians have not befriended the place either.\n \n The food was nothing special. I ordered a wet Bean, Rice, and Cheese Burrito that was served with (surprise) more beans and rice. I'm not sure how you make dry beans and rice, but they've mastered the recipe at Senor Frogs. My wife's fajita platter looked good and she enjoyed it. She asked for a little more sour cream, and a touch more guacamole, being the teaspoon of each she was served was too little for the whole meal. If you know Carpinteria, then you know we have an Avocado Culture here, we even boast an annual festival named for the locally harvested fruit. She was served a small saucer of each which we were charged a total of $4.00 for. \n\n We passed on the dessert choice, as our check was delivered without any comment or question of our after dinner sweet tooth. \n\nIn summary:\n\nDecor- clean, quiet (no ambiance music), well lighted, and pleasant. \n\nService - friendly but scarce\n\nFood - portion appropriate, served hot, but very unexciting and bland. \n\n I understand now why I never hear the locals rave about Senior Frogs. I will continue to pass by, but now I have no curiosity about the place. And sadly no desire to give it a second chance.",
"Overall senior frogs was not a great experience. Poor quality ingredients. There was something very off about the fajitas I had. On the other hand, they weren't the most attentive staff ever. With only two other tables filled, we were constantly waving them down for refills, etc. I left feeling very unsatisfied",
"We had quite a pleasant experience here. After a long day and drive, we were looking for something quieter and a bit more low key, with super-friendly service and nice food at a reasonable price. This is what we experienced.\n\nThe staff were charming and very helpful (4 star****), and helped us be seated where we wanted in a corner, and promised to put any large party away from us. They stopped and talked with us, but did not intrude.\n\nFood was pleasant, nicely presented, although could have had a little more zest or pizzazz and I would have given it a 4. I found the salsa with the chips to have a most interesting black pepper flavor, and this is one of their unique recipes.\n\nBeer was from the local Island Brewing Company. They served it chilled at a modest price. Very nice.\n\nDecor was pleasant and minimalist, and met our needs for simplicity.\n\nBut the highlight was the Cadillac Margarita! Five stars ***** for this. They showed me how to use the final shot to create a \"flavorcline\" with different tastes at different depth. Dee-lightful!",
"I'm sorry to say it, but this place pisses me off. The food is good, but the service is absolutely terrible. I've been twice now, and they don't refill your drinks. Ever. But oh, it gets better. Apparently our server didn't have day care for her child. She let him constantly run up to our table and ask us for my candy I had brought in. The first time it was kinda cute, but by the eighth, we were all goin, seriously? He kept jumping on the booth we were in, and our server (remember the lady that never ever brings refills?) just stood there watching him bug us. It was so bizarre. I wish they would do something about their service. If so, I'd consider going again.",
"my sister and my mother go to Sr. Frog's every Sunday and I join them when I'm in town every month. The food is fresh, very good, and the service is friendly and attentive. Here is a local place that cares about it's customers. When My 95 mother passed away, and they saw the notice in the local paper, they came to the funeral reception with 3 trays of enchildas for our guests from the goodness of their hearts. How many restaurants do that for their customers? Not many, I'm sure. I now always make a point of going to Senior Frogs when I'm in Carpinteria. I love their Enchilada Suissas and the gordanzola salad. My mother was a big fan of the Eggs Benndict.",
"Ok, it takes a lot for me to give a place a bad review. So here's the story. We walk in and are seated on a thursday around 3 p.m. and we are the only people in the restaurant. We order drinks and after 15 minutes (no kidding) we still had not gotten our drinks and we were seated literally 7 feet from the bar. No one ever even went into the bar. We got up and said \"Thank you, we are leaving\" and they said \"OK\". So we left. Would not go back.",
"Tried something new without Yelping first. Pass! Everything was \"off\" taste-wise; chips, salsa, chipotle chicken- all very weird."

"You can't beat a large Round Table Pizza for $12! The quality was just as I remember it when the price was much higher. Yeah, for the pizza price wars! We will be back to try their Friday night buffet soon.",
"At this time I have been having a hard time finding good places to eat Pizza here in Reno but you can always count on Round Table for decent Pizza. The bay area has spoiled me when it comes to great pizza\n3 1/2 stars",
"Full disclosure: The only time we eat here is when they call us with their latest code for $10 any pizza.\n\nWe came here recently and ordered a cheeze pizza and a maui zowie. We decided to eat in rather than to-go or have it delivered.\n\nThe pizza was good, especially the maui-zowie - I love that pizza for some reason.\n\nWhat sucked was the fact that this place just wasn't all that clean. They do wiple the tables down but the seats were dirty and everything was a little grungy. They have a TV in the banquet room but it only plays ESPN.\n\nLike I said, if you are doing the $10 special then just do to-go or delivery and be done with it - otherwise I'd recommend another pizza place in town.",
"Round Table is only chain pizza place I can stomach, and this location is about as good as it gets. The only time I visit is for occasional lunches on work days. The lunch buffet is served from 11am-2pm and features consistent pies with a fairly thin, crispy crust; garlic twists; and one of the better salad bars (for a pizza place). You can do a lot worse for $7 when you're hungry, need to get out of the office, and you want something that is easy, quick, and reasonably tasty.",
"If I'm in a pinch and absolutely have to order a pizza, I always order from Round Table. This is a good location as well as they always get my order correct and get my pizza to me hot, fresh and on time. I also like Papa Murphys take and bake and find it the only other place comparable with regards to freshness and quality in a chain pizza restaurant, but I always go with Round Table if I don't feel like going out or need delivery.",
"The lunch buffet is a complete waste of money! I bought the buffet for my wife and I and purchased a single large pizza forum kids. The buffet had no pizza the entire the we were there (45 min) so we ended up just eating a couple pieces from our kids pizza before we had to leave for our soccer game. We spent $14 and got absolutely nothing. I took a picture of the empty buffet and attached it to the pictures of the location.",
"Just tried to order a pizza with 3 toppings but 1/4 cheese. Employee refused, said she could only do 1/2 cheese. We left. Seriously poor customer service. The funniest part is that there were only 2 other customers in the restaurant. We will not return. Sad they are in our neighborhood.",
"Having youngish relatives, I am no stranger to pizza buffets. They are universally disgusting but this is one of the worst. \n\nI realize Reno doesn't have a CiCi's Pizza or to my knowledge any pizza huts that do a lunch buffet so other than godfather's there is very little competition.\n\n I can see why they let their buffet go, where else are you going to go? \n\nHands down CiCi's is a million times better and cheaper. But beggars can't be choosers when you live in Reno, NV. Would rather go hungry than eat at round table.",
"I recently ordered from this location, I was very pleased with my pizza, it was great, plus they came out really fast and my pizza was delicious, thank you round table my kids loved it",
"I had the most outstanding Pizza and Service today. The Manager was super nice and the employees were also friendly. I was amazed at how fast we got our pizza while this place was rock'n busy! We ordered the West Coast Combo white sauce Pizza with Basil which is now my favorite...highly recommended!"

"I'm not sure if this is the same ownership as the one in Olde City, but I gather so, reading the reviews.\n\nThis is one of the crown jewels of Fitler Square. Dmitris is a snazzy bar and restaurant that is one of the coziest places in Philly. Being that they specialize in more exotic seafood, that scares enough people away that this isn't the typical crowded/highly-publicized restaurant like so many in Center City.\n\nInstead, you've got a neighborhood place that's classy, romantic, and always over-serves you on personalized, homemade dishes, great drinks, and a top notch atmosphere.\n\nMy favorite thing to do back in the day was go here, get whatever was left to go (something I typically cringe at), and feeding some grateful/hungry dogs across the street in the park. \n\nI stand by anything here that combines their excellent pasta with their superb seafood.",
"A delicious sampler platter is the way to go if you can't choose between all the pita dipping goodies. You get different hummuses, olives and other food that I don't know the name for. For Mediterranean fare, you'll be satisfied. Not anything spectacular but pleasant enough. They also serve seafood so one should definitely check out the octopus dish. Mmm...\n\nComplaints? The gazpacho was a little to salsa-y... Not a fan. But other than that, and being the first outdoor seating customers of the year (gotta love the random warm Philly spring nights) I would go back...whenever I'm in Philly again.",
"Delicious!\n\nExpect a wait on weekends. Sit at the bar and you're wait will be a bit shorter. It's a small place, so it can get a bit cramped on busy nights. Good for couples but not for a group (unless you enjoy shouting and squishing.)\n\nDmitri's does seafood right. Prices are moderate and the food is excellent. \n\nThe Greek salad was delicious and quite big. So was the pasta entree that I ordered. I didn't expect the portions to be so large, so I ended up with lunch for two the next day!",
"This is one of my all time favorite places to go for a good spoil.. I took my mom and sister there and they loved it.. I would recommend ordering a bunch of the little dishes instead of a full blown entree.. It's more fun to share the little dishes with others ! The only downside is all of the yuppies who frequent there and kind of give me and my boyfriend (who just happens to be black) the hairy eyeball when we go in there..not too much in the way of a diverse crowd",
"By far one of my favorites in the city. It def helps that I live 4 blocks from it. Best Octopus I have ever had. Amazing Shrimp scampy and great wine list. Extremely affordable - diner for 2 with a bottle of wine was all of about $50.",
"i'd give it 3.5. i've been here twice now, as it's fairly close to where i live.\nfood? excellent. a bit on the pricey side, but quite tasty. the calamari is some of the best i've had in the city. and i'd stick with the appetizer portion.\nbut it gets crowded. and loud. i'm not one of those people who wants to eat my meal in silence, but i feel like if i show up there with friends, i'd like to hear them talk...and not walk out of there feeling like my ears are buzzing. maybe i'll go there on a non-weekend and it won't be so bad.",
"you know a place is that great when it is totally packed all the time and its off the main drag so to say...what a nice, romantic, delicious and unpretentious HIT! the octopus is delish and filling...the beets ummiee!...the best best salad with grapefruit avocado orange sliced on top!..i love the pasta dish (white) ! nothing is drowning in butter gore..its all lightly lemony and olive oil-ish...some garlic chopped...you know so you can actually taste the fresh seafood!!. I feel good when we leave...the lighting is dim...they cook all the dishes right in the back and it is swirling with smells and energy. and\noh yeah. that dipping olive oil in the beginning and the perfect fresh thank you for considering my taste buds bread i can mash in my mouth ! \nDO NOT miss the chocolate pot at then end...\nh e l l o !\noh and about the kids being there...it works fine for me because i don't give a shit what people think BUT the tables are super hard so bring a maxipad you can quick slap on the corners..",
"Shrimp pil pil. OMG! Fabulous. The staff are all absolutely sweethearts. I agree with the other yelpers that it does get crazy busy, so we stay away from the back and either eat at the bar area or outside during the summer. Always have a great time in here.",
"I have always loved Dmitri's. If you love octopus and calamari, then this is the place for you!! Cozy and unpretentious but not shabby. Viva garlic and olive oil - delicious food for the serious eater! Located in a quiet part of the Rittenhouse vicinity, great for a semi-casual dinner with friends (or a 3rd date?). Never had a bad meal here.\n\nOn weekends for dinner, I often end up sitting at the bar because I'm too impatient to wait while smelling the tantalizing aromas and seeing other people eating the delicious food - talk about torture.",
"Food was pretty good, hostess was grumpy, waitress was apologetic for the speed of service. Seemed like the kitchen was always way ahead of the servers in getting food out to customers. We ordered lemon drops from the bar, and the waitress came back to tell us they couldn't do that (no lemons or sugar - kind of hard to believe given the slices of lemon that were being served with meals). They had a softshell crab special that was pretty tasty the night we were there..."

"I have to admit, I wouldn't have found this place on my own but I frequently check out Rich's profile to see where he's been. He has a knack of finding the hidden gems especially in Clearwater. When I saw that he's checked into Manos 2x recently, I had to check it out. \n\nManos is located in a small strip center on the corner of Hercules and drew street (there is a westshore pizza in same shopping center). Upon entering I immediately fell in love-the smells, the menu board, the pastries on display and the warmth and friendliness of the owner and cashier. \n\nThey immediately offered me a sampling of their spinach pie and a cheese like phylo pie-sold! Ill take one of each. Their tempting displays were like a force I couldn't conquer. \"Here try this\"! Yep ill take a container of those heavenly cookies. \n\nManos offers sandwiches and salads too, unfortunately I couldn't get past the goodies on display. \n\nI will definitely be back to this wonderful bakery where everything is homemade and made with love and pride.",
"I had a Greek salad with chicken. It was fabulous. I was on a diet but my two friends were stunned by their Greek stuffed pockets of things I could not touch. The place was giving out samples of all kinds of things - sweet and savory - that looked fab and my friends gobbled up with pleasure. The price is right and it was fast. There is only outside seating which was great when I was there but it would be take out for summer. Highly recommended.",
"Wow! What amazing customer service and food! I stopped in because a girlfriend is renewing her vows and wanted a special cake. She couldn't go by the bakery to taste samples so she sent me knowing how picky I am about desserts. Wow, I was amazed. The ingredients are fresh and they only use real cream, not that nasty stuff you find on most cakes. It was heaven and the owner was so nice and so helpful I loved the sampling. We also ended up taking home gyros and salad for dinner to go along with the remaining cake! You don't find businesses like this very often. I recommend patronizing this establishment as often as you can!",
"Drew Street in Clearwater is known for good many excellent Mexican taquerias.\n\nBut the best kept secret is Manos Bakery.\n\nWOW.\nWhat a great find\n\nThe spinach and custard pie (or whatever it's called) is off the charts here.\n\nStopping by on a slow afternoon, and you just might get to chat with the owner, who represents at least 3 generations of bakery operation prowess going back to Greece itself. This family knows Greek bakeries, and it shows in every bite.\n\nThat conversation alone is worth the time to stop. \nBut I challenge you to just enter the door, \nsmell the goodies and walk out empty handed.\n\nI dare you.\nDouble dog dare you.\n\nAtmosphere: 5\nService: 5\nFood: 5\nValue: 5\n\nWhen I get to heaven, I want to live in Manos' neighborhood, because eating here on Earth too often would explode my waistline. .",
"When we walked in the first time, we'd been on a journey to find donuts, but Hren's nest was closed, Yelp directed us here. \n\nThere's no way, in a million years, that you would find this little store if it weren't for the reviews or a quick trip to get pizza. The tiny store in the strip plaza is barely noticeable when you're looking for it!\n\nBut take the time to stop in, just the same. \n\nWe didn't find the donuts we were looking for. What we DID find was a mom-and-pop bakery cleverly disguised by a meticulously clean building, incredibly friendly and professional service, reasonable prices and oh-so-delicious savory AND sweet treats.\n\nNot quite knowing where to start, we asked the girl behind the counter what her favorite (phyllo) pie was. Her response was shocking and brilliant:\n\n\"Oh? You've never been here before? Here, TASTE ALL THE THINGS.\"\n\nShe then proceeded to cut up each one of the pies for us to taste. We ended up buying one of each and some baklava for a grand total of $13\n\nThe Pies:\n\nMeat: Tastes very similar to a sophisticated Sloppy Joe.\nSpinach: A perfectly delicious spanakopita.\nCustard: Wow! I have never had something like this so I have no basis of comparison, but it was basically a warm custard in phyllo dough sprinkled with powdered sugar.\n\nThe Baklava: \n\nAs to be expected. Sticky, dense, way too sweet for my tastes, unfortunately, but not in any way a failure on the treats part, but rather my own palate. It was perfectly executed, although served with a plastic knife and fork seems a bit absurd. \n\nWe were stuffed. Beyond stuffed, really. I thought I as going to die. No, really. \n\n... we went back the very next morning, promptly at 7am when they open. We're masochists.",
"Thank you Yelp for helping me discover this GEM! I agree with the other reviewers about how amazing this place is! It is top notch in terms of taste, freshness and authenticity. Their pies are amazing - spanokopita, meat pie and bougatsa. I did not try the tiropita however I am sure that it is equally amazing. Real greek treats at great prices as well.\n\nWe met the owner who graciously offered us samples of all the pies, some cookies that just came out of the oven and the most DELICIOUS little cakes.\n\nWill definitely be a repeat customer - remember let's support great businesses like this so they can continue to prosper and be a part of the community.",
"Oh dear sweet Lord. I was in this strip center at the Westshore Pizza next door yesterday when I spotted this place and figured I would check it out. It is WONDERFUL a nice clean well decorated setting with fresh made delicious pastries and a great looking lunch menu lots of free samples and a very friendly owner. I haven't tried their coffee but that is high on my list for next time. My only complaint is the plastic utensils. Their pastries deserve better. I'll be back and I'm bringing my own fork.",
"Delicious Greek bakery and sandwiches. Haven't had anything yet that was disappointing. Polite staff and great food! I would recommend visiting if you are in the area for sure!",
"I eat here a few times a week and haven't been disappointed. I love that they don't put potato salad into their greek salads!! The Manos Signature Salad and the Buffalo Zesto Chicken are my favorites...and as you are waiting for your order, there are always some spinach pie samples to tide you over!",
"You must check out this place! It is everything the other reviewers have posted and then some. Super friendly owner, smells delicious, kitchen is clean. Will most definitely come back."

"I had dinner at Ray's Restaurant & Malt Shop awhile ago. This diner-like restaurant is almost a blast from the past, but not in a campy, crappy Johnny Rockets way. Their menu has everything you'd expect from a diner, like sandwiches, fried foods, fried sandwiches, etc., and there are menus for kids and seniors (their word, not mine). Our server (Nick) got us everything we needed, and took our orders without issue. He brought our food quickly too.\n\nMy entree, a pork chop, was dry as a bone. Luckily, the sides were good, can't beat applesauce! Their chicken gumbo was rather... interesting, not in a bad way.\n\nI'd return to Ray's for their malt shakes, and maybe breakfast (they have breakfast food!); my mint chocolate-chip malt shake was out of this world. Worth a trip for those alone, and avoid the pork chops.",
"It's amazing how many crappy diners there are out there. Ray's kicks all of their collective asses, for many reasons:\n\n1. They make amazing ice cream treats (hence the \"Malt Shop\")\n2. I've never had a bad meal or experience there in the few years I've been a customer\n3. The french fries are always crispy\n4. They have good honey mustard\n5. It's decorated in a kitchy, 1950's style\n6. For some inexplicable reason they have a poster for the Jamie Kennedy movie, \"Kickin' it Old Skool\" hanging at the main entrance\n\nThe only thing I don't like about Ray's is that they play oldies, which is pretty much the only style of music (besides country) that I absolutely hate. However, my love of diner food and ice cream treats outweighs my hatred for the oldies, and that's why I keep coming back.",
"Solid breakfast place with a nice authentic feel...No Diet Coke was disappointing, but the breakfast selections were pretty good and my kids loved the silver dollar pancakes. The grilled cheese my son ordered was dripping with butter, not that there's anything wrong with that :)",
"When I don't feel like waiting in line at a chain restaurant for some good brunch food by my house, I've discovered that Ray's is one of my favorites!\n\nAtmosphere: (B) Nothing spectacular... it is a diner, so what more do you expect?\n\nFood: (A) In response to Rachel's review... bring on the grease! :) But really, whatever I've ordered, and its usually breakfast food, isn't THAT greasy...just averagely greasy I guess. Most places, you can't go wrong with breakfast... eggs, hashbrowns, pancakes... delicious. And I ended up getting one of their special plates.. forgot the name, but it came with eggs on top of biscuits and gravy and hashbrowns on the side - YU-MMY.\n\nService: (A) I'd say it was average the number of times I've gone, but my last trip here over the weekend, it was spectacular. This man had opened the door for us when we got there, opened it for us when we left, and wishing us a great day. The waitress was a sweetheart of a lady... she reminded of me an overly caring grandma that always makes sure i'm stuffed and taken care of when I'm at her place. Oh yes, and no wait for seating, food came out nice and quick.\n\nOverall: (A) If my next couple of trips here are just as satisfactory, I'd def bump up my 4.5 stars to a 5. Go Ray!",
"I'm giving Ray's 5 stars based on their classic chicken sandwich with cheddar cheese alone! This sandwich is to die for and when I dont feel like cooking or we dont want to deal with fast food we always head to Rays for this sandwich. It's not a cheep diner but i've never had a bad experience here yet. you always see lots of regulars that the wait staff always points out, so you know its got to be decent. It's a diner and I say support your local diners, cause they are a dying breed.",
"Milkshakes, ice cream sundaes, egg creams. BEST\nbreakfast foods: Better\nrest of the menu: good.",
"Apparently Ray's is now under new ownership and I'm seriously bummed. Although the place got a bit of a sprucing up, open 24 hours, new paint and new neon lighting, the chicken sandwich that I have grown to love is no longer the same. The roll was a bit too doughy and kaiser, I dint mind a kaiser roll but the old rolls had a ton more flavor and gave the sandwich much more character. The chicken is also been marinated in something different, something not as good and much more peppery, not a fan of it. Oh well as they say all good things must come to an end.",
"Great staff! A favorite local diner.",
"I dined here over the weekend and discovered that Ray's had changed management. It was absolutely awful. How disappointing. The new management thought it would be a good idea to speak about personnel issues at the cashier's station for all to hear. Very unprofessional as well as very annoying. The food was mediocre at best. \n\nAlso we had a Restaurant.com certificate that we purchased a few weeks ago that the new management would not honor. Also a disappointment. \n\nOh and I loved the $5 per person minimum now listed on the menu. Guess you can't go in and have coffee and dessert at the counter anymore!\n\nThis was a diner I frequently patronized. I will never go back there again.",
"Road side choke & puke now ownedby people even more sleazy than ray. Never never never would I go in that hole."

"I love Snap Pizza. It's a solid pizza. Love their signature pizzas and making your own is a blast too! It averages around $9 and for the quality, I think it's a deal. I use to frequent the one up in Ardmore which is a quite a drive but now that this one has opened up, I'm so excited for this to be my go to.",
"I have to say I really like when new places open up conveniently near where I have to shop. This new pizza place just popped up super close to the Trader Joe's where I'm always at and who doesn't fucking love pizza.\nThe setup is clean and crisp it's basically a Chipotle assembly line but with pizza toppings and finishes. \nI found the staff super friendly it was easy to pick a ton of toppings, but you don't want to overdo it or else your slice will be heavy. Prices are crazy cheap all the flavors were amazing. \nMy pizza cameo out quickly and I like that they offered several finishing touches to top off your pizza. \nThey do have a very unique soda fountain with amazingly awesome flavors, no run of the\nmill standard sodas here.\nMy one pet peeve though is the guy who rang me up in the end who was wearing food prep gloves handled money and handled food without changing the gloves that really skeeves me out and someone should mention something to him. \nI will be back for the delicious pizza pie ahhhhhhhhhh.",
"I recently noticed the newest location of Snap Custom Pizza in Jenkintown and was intrigued as I had never been and I love to support local businesses.. I reached out and called to inquire as to how the ordering process works (unlimited toppings, already created recipes or a blend of both). The gentleman answered and said we have custom pizzas and you can also build your own where you choose toppings from each category. When I asked if there was a limit or recommendation from each category, the employee said \"these are 11 inch pies and WE WILL PUMP THE BRAKES ON YOU IF WE NEED TO\" ....not what I would consider a positive customer service. Even with this exchange, I brought the family for dinner last night (March 10) as we love to support local businesses. \n\nThe selection of toppings (especially sauces and \"finishings\") was impressive and the pizza was good. They do not use a traditional pizza oven so you do not get a bubbly crust, but it is still a good pie. The staff was young and super friendly, which makes me think the arrogant person I spoke with earlier was an owner. \n\nUnlike many pizza places they have a corporate feel to the ordering process in that they use individual measuring cups when scooping up toppings and they will often take toppings out of the measuring cups to pare down the portion of toppings. I get the idea of trying to manage your overhead, but pulling out a single slice of meatball from the measuring cup is not going to break you. Some of the other unnamed custom pizza places are more generous when it comes to asking for a few extra olives, I use that as I ask for olives and the associate literally picked up two olives, tore them in half and that was my olives. I have now been twice in the past 8 days (Mar10 & 17) and would I would return if i was close and craving pizza.",
"As soon as this place opened, I was down to try it. I've seen Mod Pizza around but there isn't one close to me. This place opened where my favorite frozen yogurt joint used to be, and you could never tell. I dig the rustic/industrial design language. The staff greeted me as soon as I walked in and were extremely friendly. The entire restaurant was spotless, and the prep area where all the dough and toppings were located was neat and clean. The pizza itself was insanely good. I got the Mexicue, which was like a BBQ chicken pizza with jalapeños, cilantro cream, and I added roasted garlic. The crust was thin(ish) and crispy without being brittle. The natural soda that they have in the machine is very good too. Overall, it was a very good first experience and I will definitely be back! Only things I would change/improve: Add ApplePay compatibility-they already have a Square register with swipe, it would just be good to add the contactless/chip terminal ... and have an app for ordering and rewards, but I know they're a small franchise so that's not that feasible immediately. However, I will definitely be back...and soon.",
"Great addition to the area. The pizzas we've tried have been good (kids' size comes with a drink!), and I'm a fan of the salads. Very fresh. The ambience is airy and modern. The ordering system isn't my favorite (I'm glad we've gone when it wasn't crowded), but this will be in our family rotation for a quick lunch. Oh, and there is gluten free dough for those with celiac!",
"Not a good 1st impression, but I'm going to show some grace as they are new. Ordered the Caesar salad without chicken or cheese. \nBeing as I have never ordered a salad and told the young man behind the counter how I would have like it prepared I began to walk toward the seating area near the register when I heard a less than friendly call directed toward me \"Miss you gotta wait cuz I have more questions to ask you\"... oh ok... at that point I answered 3 questions about onions dressing and confirmed again how I wanted it prepared. Had a seat and waited. Just a few observations the set up was orchestrated well. When you enter you walk past the cashier, assembly line & to the back to place your order. The menu is ackwardly positioned up like when you get to the movie theater last and have to sit in the front row. When my order was complete my name was called I paid on a iPad & my receipt was texted to me. \nTo my dismay I didn't check my salad until I got back to my desk and guess what? Cheese on top of that it just wasn't a good salad. I ate less than half and threw the rest away. I think in the future I'll stick to pizza or create my own and watch them make it... Give them a chance hopefully you will have a better experience",
"First time here after reading about the other locations and seeing lots of pics on IG. Was here for lunch with my 75 year old mother, who does not hear worth a dam. The staff was SUPER patient with her. I was expecting something ok but have to say it was absolutely delicious. I did the \"create your own\" with the pesto, 2 types of cheese, sausage and a couple veggies. The portion size of the toppings was excellent and the veggies tasted freshly roasted or sautéed. For a little over $9 you can absolutely not beat it. Thanks again and I'll be back.",
"Wife ordered 2 pies. Curt SNAPy clerk on a Monday at 4:45 takes order for the pies. Leaves sausage off pie with cheese being the only other topping. 5? Employees milling around on a slow nite. Rude clerk was a tall thin woman. Best part was the nice box. My suggestion is BELLAS nearby.",
"New location opened in Jenkintown! My friend is vegan and I asked if they offer any vegan meat or cheese options. They said they do not however if we bring our own then they can certainly add it on. I feel like that's such a nice( customer service )service lol. She ended up putting on her vegan cheese from Whole Foods (which is right next door) so if you're vegan and having a hard time finding a vegan pizza place this is a nice option. Then she added basil tomatoes and broccoli and tbh it may seem plain but it was actually really good - I want to see what their secret is. I feel like all the ingredients were fresh maybe that's why ?they also have salad options which I've yet to try but im deff going to comehere more often. !",
"I had high hopes for this place! I love a good, fresh pizza. I stopped in for a quick and easy lunch as I was food shopping at the nearby Trader Joe's. \n\nThe whole process is streamlined and reminds me a lot of the chain &pizza (which I love). You can opt for one of their recommended combinations or to make your own. I was in a rush, so I tried the signature pizza 'Kennett Square'. It had herbed butter, mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, and topped with arugula, goat cheese, and truffle oil. \n\nThe crust is not bad, nice and crispy, but not as chewy as I like. My main letdown was how skimpy they were with the toppings (besides the mozarella cheese, which there was WAY too much IMO). However, I was happy with the amount of goat cheese. I had the equivalent of maybe 2-3 mushrooms worth of slices and about 7-8 sprigs of arugula. And the pizza was overly oily and lacking any truffle oil flavor. \n\nCompared to their counterparts, the value just isnt there. The customer service was subpar-- no one seemed to know what they were doing and I even had to remind them that I had yet to pay. I have had wayyy better pizza elsewhere and for the same price."

"Phenomenal food, delicious yogurt, warm and courteous staff with a well executed creative look to match.\n\nIn short, I love this place!!!",
"My favorite thing is the clean, contemporary decor and the free frozen yogurt at Kiwi, which is in the same room as Green Market. I had the Veggie flatbread and Tomato Basil Soup. The portions were just enough and tasted decent - good, but not anything out of the ordinary. The soup came with some croutons. If I come here again I'd like to try the Wasabi Chicken wrap.\n\nThe prices are about the same as Panera Bread (around $6.50), so if it weren't for the frozen yogurt I'd choose Panera over Green Market every single time because of the far better variety and taste. But overall, a nice place to go if you're tired of the same old sandwich shop and want to change it up!",
"I know the owner so that was the first reason we tried Green Market. It's not the reason we return at least once a week!\nThe flat breads are my favorite, great pestos really make the flavors pop and the salads are unique and flavorful, I love goat cheese, and fruits in my salads.\nThe cake batter yogurt is yummy! GMC is a welcome addition to the neighborhood!",
"Service and food was phenomenal on Monday, WHEN THE OWNERS WERE THERE. I had the Waldorf salad...excellently made....and the owner and the girls working behind the counter went out of their way to be kind...even though they brought my daughter's caesar salad out with the wrong dressing! \n\nTonight (2 days later) I experienced horrible customer service since the OWNER WAS NOT THERE...at least not after 8:30pm. I ordered a pear and goat cheese salad which should have had mixed greens...as I took a few bites I was wondering why the salad didn't taste as good as the one I had on Monday and it tasted more like a cheap fast food salad...then I realized the lettuce was all wrong. So, I let the girls know and I got horrible stares...even an older lady from the back came up just to look at me! Since they were remaking my salad I decided to add chicken to it...they forgot to bring it out with chicken...so I sat and waited while I watched one of the girls with the COLD chicken pieces in a plate walk around with it and run other errands and talking over the plate before giving it to some one else to bring out to me! Wow, no sense of urgency since my entire family was just about done with their food. I noticed that I still had some of the old lettuce on my plate and that they put the old pita bread back as well as it was cold....they definitely did not remake my salad, but just added some mixed greens to it and took out some of the romaine lettuce. Pretty disgusting...and unsanitary to do that.\n\nMy husband ordered a flat bread and it automatically came out with chips...he later noticed that he should have had a choice between chips and balsamic tomatoes...much healthier...but the girls didn't care to ask. The Acai organic Tea had nothing but water in the container.\n\nI'll be back, but NEVER at that hour when the owners are gone. The level of service by the teeny boppers are different when they are alone at night. I have no idea who the older woman was, but again, I only saw her one time when she came out to take a look at who sent back the $8 salad with the wrong lettuce. \n\nI really want to be a cheerleader for a place with organic, fresh foods...and I LOVE good salad...I make really great salads and homemade salad dressing myself...so I hope the owners understand that the level of service needs to be up to par even when they are not around.\n\nI have to say that the Taro yogurt is wonderful! \n\nUp the service when the owners are not around and I would up the stars...but for now I'd check through the window to be sure that a grown up who cares is working before I order.",
"We stumbled upon this place on our way back to Tampa today and were both so hungry that we were contemplating eating an arm. How unbelievably fab that this place was crazy good?! My excitement stemmed from:\n1) Warm turkey & brie flatbread sandwich (ummm, you guys had me at brie)\n2) Free cup of yogurt with meal purchase!\n\nMy sandwich so good that I'll be happy to drive back to Oldsmar to eat it again. And our parting wisdom/thoughts for the day: there should be more frozen yogurt in our lives.",
"So, my husband convinced me to go back to Green Market today...I immediately noticed romaine lettuce on my salad and ended up giving the owner an earful about how I felt....I also noticed that the employee who was rude was standing near by when I spoke to the manager about how the salads have changed. She never looked straight at me, but I could sense the 'tude. Possibly she's also an owner?? Not sure, but this owner was younger than the guy who appeared to be the owner in the past...and if I'm not mistaken he was there the night that we had the bad service.\n\nI ordered my salads to go and noticed that everything that the manager had told me about the salad was true...that romaine was mixed with other seasonal greens...and the salad was GOOD. I had the new strawberry and brie salad and my husband got the pear and goat cheese.\n\nSo, I called back and spoke to the owner to let him know that the salad was good and that my last experience almost made me not try the place again.\n\nI'm still going to be careful about the time that I dine there (perhaps they are all tired by 8:30 pm and are just ready to go home...still not an excuse), but they have my business for now...I just hope the rude girl can change her attitude with customers (and the other employees in front of customers). The rest of the crew seem to be pleasant.\n\nI'll post an update if I notice things change. :)",
"Much more than an Internet cafe, the freshness and variety with a Mediterranean nuance will make you forget that you have a laptop.\nCo-located with Kiwi Frozen Yogurt where the tropical fruit flavors are the best in Tampa.",
"This is another place I've been hearing good things about. Finally I made it a priority to get there. I'm so glad that I did! This place is so clean and fresh - a bit noisy when busy. \nThey have a diverse menu of fresh (and I believe Organic) things on the menu. I tried a chicken wrap that was DELICIOUS and big - I had to bring half of it home - it was even better for dinner cold. They give you a free yogurt when you buy a meal. Who does this anymore???\nI have become a fan of the taro yogurt YUM. \nTHe little one's love this place too. \nOne thing it did take several minutes to get my meal - I'm not sure if this is the norm as everything is made to order. Or, if it was just that they were a bit behind when I was in. It wasn't at the height of lunch hour so I'm not sure.",
"Adorable atmosphere, great food. Located next to AMC 20. Best salads, wraps, flat breads & pizza. What can I say? I'm in love!",
"I'm not so crazy about the food as the decoration and furniture. The food is not bad but not amazing. It's a really cute cafe connected with Kiwi frozen yogurt. They serve really fresh and vibrant food but the taste isn't amazing to me. \n\nI like their wraps a lot but the flat bread turned me off. Sadly it wasn't what I expected it to taste. They so serve a large amount so that's always good! \n\nIt's a great place to visit because the theater is located near by and it's a cute place to even study at."

"Their newest site in Nashville; this makes the fifth location here . The seating area inside is smaller than some of their other bakery locations. They make good breads, and their soups are also recommended.",
"This is my absolute favorite Panera in town. The staff is always friendly and helpful, even when a line builds up. Everything I've ordered here has always been right too. \n\nPanera in general is good for a nice bagel in the morning, soup for lunch (I prefer Black Bean) or dinner (Bacon Turkey Bravo and the Mediterranean Veggie are my favs). I love to get a loaf of bread too. Tomato Basil is the best but the country is really good too. Just remember, no preservatives so it doesn't keep long. \n\nParking here is never a big problem like the 21st location, even at lunch. They have parking right outside the door and a parking lot. I like their outside seating too, it doesn't have the enclosed structure the 21st location does.",
"I freakin' love Panera. I have never been to Panera until I moved here and started traveling with my boss. She loves it so I had to try it and now I find myself craving it about once per month.\n\nI like this site on West End because it is close to my house, the staff is friendly, there are plenty of tables, and there are less Vandy kids than the one on 21st. Other things I like?\n\n- Wifi. Bring your laptop and surf the net while you eat\n- Calories of all offerings listed on the ordering menu and online. If you are trying to be good, this is really helpful\n- the Orchard salad with the grilled chicken and pears is so EFFING GOOD! I can't stand it. I want it, I need it, I crave it fortnightly.\n- Tomato soup and the french onion soup are good and low in cals.\n- Panera bread card allows you to rack up points and get free stuff when you go often\n- roast beef sandwich is deeeelicious\n- While I've never had a pastry from here, I appreciate all the options in case I want one.\n- the bread is awesome and you can get it with your salad or soup\n\nWhat's not to like? Panera is a chain that has got it right!",
"Very good place to eat. Nice environment. Right next starbucks and chipotle. Fast service. Worth going.",
"If I ever bother to make a Yelp list, it will probably be \"A First-Timer's Experiences in National Chains\".\n\nJust like with Dairy Queen, Panera Bread is a place I've seen/read about, but never tried. I honestly thought it was just a bakery.\n\nHow pleasantly surprised I was at their array: Cookies, sandwiches, coffees, soups. And loaves of bread, I believe.\n\nHad a breakfast sandwich with egg and bacon. Not bad. Definitely a hundred times better than breakfast sandwiches at fast food places. I like that I could get hot sauce and hot mustard at their condiment bar. The place had a nice interior. Not dive-y. When I placed my order, I was given one of those contraptions that vibrate and make a noise when your order is ready. And my order was prepared quite quickly.\n\nThe prices are what I'd expected in San Francisco. (And actually, I've noticed that Nashville is not as cheap as I expected it would be...)\n\nUntil I settle in, I don't think this will be a place I can eat at every day. But I can definitely treat myself to it.",
"I came in to claim my free pastry as my reward for registering my Panera card online. The woman whom I thought was on the register greeted me at her station and then never told me that she was no longer on the register. Nor did she tell me that someone else can help me. She went to the breads and I waited, expecting her to finish her business and come back to the register. On the other hand, the woman who did help me was awesome and more than made up for her coworker's obliviousness.\n\nI had their coffee. At the coffee station, I weeped internally when the wooden stir sticks were available individually wrapped. I'm used to stir sticks (plastic or wood) unwrapped. At least these weren't wrapped in plastic. For all I know, it's a sanitation issue in this region. At some cafe dives in Berkeley / San Francisco, they'd provide canisters of metal \"clean spoons\" for you to stir your beverage at the station, and a canister for \"dirty spoons\" once you're done. (And yes, I am aware of how dirty both cities are.) I'm not one of those hippies with liberal politics. But recycling has been engrained in us for the past few decades that to see this not happen here has been a culture shock.\n\nOn the other hand, it was refreshing to see that Panera offers recycling for glass and plastic bottles.\n\nMy ranting aside, Panera is great for breakfast.",
"Panera across the board is pretty consistent but this location is my favorite in all of Nashville. I can always get in and out quickly, the staff is nice and its always clean. I can't say that for other locations. In fact, it was a cold rainy night and instead of refilling my soft drink cup I really really wanted a cup a coffee to go. I went up to an employee and said, 'Instead of getting a refill, would it possible to get a coffee cup?\" she said, \"sure\" ... It probably was an unethical thing to do and I should have just bought a cup of coffee, but I didn't. However, the coffee in the late evening was fresh! The coffee is my favorite. Hazelnut all the way.",
"It's a Panera just like all the others, but the service here really sets is apart from the others. We were not rushed through a feeding line, instead, the meals (we were there for breakfast) were explained by polite and knowledgable staff. Food was spot on and the coffee was better than anything at Starbucks.",
"I love me some Panera especially for breakfast! You may not know this but I knew I wanted to go to college because of the fact that the universities I was scouting had Panera's down the street (a big deal in 2004). I digress.\n\nThis morning I went all healthy with a whole grain bagel with low fat plain cream cheese and a cup of coffee. Let me just say that at 7 a.m. you can get some excellent service. My better half, however, likes to mix it up with breakfast sandwiches. Mostly they seem kind of gross but his Mediterranean breakfast sandwich with egg whites, pesto, spinach and roasted red pepper made me change my mind. Totally delicious. At least that is how I felt about the one bite I could get.",
"Sitting in Panera at 7:30 am. One of my favorite go to breakfast/lunch spots - watching the lines back up and the polite confusion amass behind the counter. My order extra long, because of a mango smoothie and a gift card, which threw their system (?) out of wack. Mango smoothie is delicious."

"Oh Qdoba, I do love those giant burritos so. There is not much I can say about Qdoba that you will not already know. They are known for their giant burritos like another chain restaurant, but they have more than just burritos. They have a Mexican Gumbo that is very tasty as well as tacos, quesidillas and nachos. For me what sets Qdoba apart is their fiery habanero salsa. It is a spicey salsa, but it's not hot for the sake of being hot, the taste of the habanero is great and I normally ask for a second helping of the salsa on whatever I get. \n\nAs usual the staff was friendly and courteous and a few minutes after entered the store I was walking out with a giant burrito on my way home to enjoy the tasty goodness of the chicken queso burrito.",
"Love the gigantic size burritos made to order but don't love the price. Starbucks of the burrito world. But yum yum yum.",
"Think: Chipotle. They're both the same to me - same ingredients, both restaurants are hard to pronounce. They just use different names for their burrito bowls. The only thing is that Chipotle was in the news for the salmonela outbreak that happened about a year or two ago in one of their restaurants in San Diego... but not to worry - Qdoba is a-okay!",
"Went for lunch. Very busy, waited in line 10 mins. Ordered soft steak tacos with the habanero sauce. Tacos were cold, tortillas were soggy and their so called very hot sauce, not so and Coke was watered down. Taco Bell is a better choice!",
"Your typical burrito joint. Service is \"push 'em through\" mentality. Food was fresh (could have been warmer) and restaurant was generally clean.",
"I had the vegetarian black bean burrito with peppers, guacamole, cilantro, sour cream and Habanero sauce. It was very good, much better and possible healthier than other alternatives. \n\nAdded Lime and my favorite sauce of all Cholulu from the condiment section. \n\nI really like their burrito, but a buritto and soda was more than $10. and it was vegetarian without cheese sauce to boot. I am not sure that I like it better than crazy bowls and wraps across the parking lot. For $10 there you also get the entree, soda, and chips and awesome salsa bar. \n\nThey really need to either rethink their offerings, or their pricing structure, because until then, it is CBW for me! This has been reflected by not coming here since my last free burrito on my birthday...\n\nThey do have a rewards program. Unfortunately, I misplaced my card? Doh. \n\nI would also, agree that this Qdobas seems in more need of bussing than others. I came in at 7pm, and they had 3 workers. Couldn't some one clean the dininig area? \n\nI will say that the people here are engaged, nice and desire to make a good product.",
"Great mexican food. Hot & fresh and the service was good.",
"I finally had a chance to try Qdoba. I'll preface this by letting you all know I am a Chipotle addict.\n\nSo... I got the chicken queso burrito. Rice and black beans were similar to C. The chicken was good but not as good as C and in general it looked to me like the meats were higher quality and fresher at C. Lots of sauces to choose from, I got pico, the one with corn, and the \"next to hottest\" - they were all good. Guac, sour cream, and cheese all good. The queso sauce was really tasty and I enjoyed it but I also know it pumped up the fat/calorie content (which is already high enough in burritos like these). \n\nI have to say overall I really liked it pretty much as much as C except the meat quality. I will definitely go back bc it is closer than C but if given the choice... it's still C.\n\nOh, chips were good - had a good flavor and I think I do like them better than C's bc C's have gotten super salty in the last couple years.",
"Never had troubles here! I love the nachos- you'll get your sodium fix for the week! Clean, nice area, a winner!",
"Absolutely the worst customer service I've ever had. Slopped my food. Got daughters order wrong rudeness. Hated it. Won't go back."

"You're not going to find anything at Hella's you can't find at other Greek restaurants. What they do offer, however, is above average in quality and reasonably priced. The atmosphere is conducive to conversation, the service is fast, and there's rarely a wait to be seated.\r\n\r\nThe gyros are good size and the hummus is tasty. If you do get hummus, make sure to ask for extra pita bread as they never bring enough with the initial order. After the meal, stock up on mints because you will reek of garlic.\r\n\r\nHella's could improve itself if it wasn't located in the middle of a small parking lot. An outdoor patio with a hookah bar would be nice but won't happen unless it changes locations.",
"Good Greek food on the northside. The green beans and potatoes are winners. Try the tasty gyro plate and you can get both signature items plus salad and pita bread, if I remember correctly. Buttery garlic bread seems misplaced here, but it's still good. Service is good too.",
"I have to agree with Jennifer, the green beans and potatoes at Hella's are some of the best you'll find in town. I think only those at Santorini may rival them. In fact, I often order a greek salad and then just have sides of the potatoes and green beans. Of course, if I'm not on my own, then hummus is a must :-)\n\nThis is one of my favorite places to stop in after yoga - when I am usually very hungry - and I often get takeout, which typically doesn't require a long wait. \n\nI like the coziness of Hella's as well. I do agree with Andy about the parking lot thing - getting in and out of Hella's can be a little awkward when traffic on Westfield Blvd. is at its max. But I think the restaurant would lose some of its charm if it moved to other digs. Outdoor dining, though, that would be great!",
"Great service at Hella's. The guy was friendly without being over bearing, he tended to everything I needed, even tried to save me a few bucks. And my iced tea never emptied. \n\nThe food was great, better than Greek Isle, and I loved every bit of it. The green beans and potatoes are other worldly and the stuffed grape leaves are better than those I've had in the kitchens of my middle eastern friends.\n\nThe atmosphere is ok, it's kinda a mish-mosh, and the booth I sat in may have been comfortable 25 years ago when it was installed. But out side of that everything was fabulous, I even had to try the baklava, it wasn't all that great but I was still super happy.",
"Hella's is the kind of place you want to go with your closest friends and family. The atmosphere is friendly, fun and comfortable--just like home--if home were a place you were ably waited on 'hand and foot' and served mouthwatering Greek food. Hella's has heart--how many restaurants are so well connected to their community that they contribute to local schools and churches fundraising efforts? That same spirit of building a future on traditions of the past is also evident in their tasty authentic Greek recipes. \n\nYou will quickly develop a list of 'favorites' from Hella's menu. The taramasalata is a dreamy, creamy spread consisting of caviar, lemon juice and olive oil that you will greedily mop up with some of the best pita bread you can get, this side of the Mediterranean. The same goes for the traditional tasty tzatziki--another downright delectable dip. If you know Greek soup, your highest standards will be met with the house Egglemon soup. If you insist on the most popular dish, you will not go hungry--or wrong--with the Gyros platter, your choice of meat or chicken. If you must have something 'special' the frequently featured lamb shanks or cabbage rolls are not to be missed.",
"Great place when you're in the mood for a change of pace. This true Greek owned and operated nook gives you a sense of family from the moment you walk in. All the traditional Greek favorites are accounted for...gyros, baklava, and an outstanding Greek salad. Greek music and a live belly dancer add to the ambiance. The only thing that could have made it better is slightly lower prices...but the complimentary baklava (for first time visitors only) helped!",
"This is greek food at its best. The service is always nice and the food is always good. They really know what they are doing",
"This review is based on one lunch special. I had the chicken souvlakia and it was ok. It came with a Greek salad that came in a side dish dish...you know, the kind you normally get slaw or cottage cheese in. It was also drowning in dressing.\n\nI chose the potatoes as my other side. I love Greek potatoes and while these were nice, I've had better. The chicken was also very good. However, I felt as if over all the meal was lacking something. (Pita bread, feta, tzatziki...)\n\nMaybe the dinners are better. I'm not saying I would never eat there again. If someone else wanted to go, I would join them, but I do think there are better Greek restaurants in town.",
"I was in the mood for Greek food and a friend of mine recommended Hellas Cafe. The atmosphere was lovely and the music was great! The lamb kabobs were done perfectly and I did enjoy the green beans. The Greek wine I tried was very good as well.\n\nHere's why I gave it three stars. I ordered the feta cheese pie as an appetizer and the top of it was burned so burned phyllo dough was not appetizing, needless to say. The other issue I had was the rice and the potato. The rice was just blah and the potato was weirdly shaped and very bland with no seasonings. I kept salting it to get some kind of flavor but it wasnt good. \n\nIt was an experience but compared to the Greek Restaurant I tried in Hell's Kitchen in NYC, this doesn't even compare.",

"We went to the grand opening and we really enjoyed everything about the market, despite the rain and wind! The shops are very cool and authentic, and all the shopkeepers were extremely kind. The ice wasn't open yet (61 degrees and raining) but the rink is sizable. Do not miss the sandwich stall with the amazing melted cheese! We were given a free sandwich after standing and marveling at the food and it was SO. GOOD. The German man handmaking wooden toys was really neat and he and the others were so kid friendly. Even parking wasn't much of a challenge! We can't wait to go to eat, drink, and be merry many times between now and Christmas eve!",
"Love that there's finally a place in Indy to ice skate outside! The market was beautiful and the lines were long, even with freezing temps. It was fun to look at each booth and chat with the vendors. They had live music and the lights and decor really brought the Christmas spirit to life. I was looking forward to tryin the mulled wine but the lines were ridiculously long and I only saw one vendor booth that sold it. That was the only reason I ranked four stars instead of five. It was also opening day, so of course it's going to be packed. I will definitely be back to try the wine and to ice skate!",
"If you've been to the Christmas/winter markets in NY, this is as close at the ones out there. You can shop, eat or go skating - all in one place. The lights, the trees, and the people makes this place worth the visit.",
"The market is as close to an authentic German Christkindlmarkt as any in the tri-state area. Great vendors, many from Germany. The market booths are beautiful and add to the atmosphere. The ice rink is a nice touch but if the crowds stay this large I could see them eliminating, or moving it, and adding more vendors in future years. Wunderschön !",
"So fun! PTL that a new ice rink came to Carmel- I've never been impressed with the others in the area. It's really fun to go to the market at night with all the lights, but BUNDLE UP because we were freezing! Pair it with a warm mug of Gluhwein and you're really feeling festive. I saw pictures being posted of Santa hanging around, but I didn't see him at all (this was the first Sunday the market was open). So parents, if you're looking for Santa, maybe see if you can find when he'll be around before Little Johnny gets sad!\n\nA note about the Gluhwein: the mugs are SO CUTE and commemorative! Get them before they sell out because I'm sure they will. You can get a mug and a cup of Gluhwein for $10, with refills at $4. This means you can bring your mug back while the market is open!\n\nPlenty of parking on the street and nearby parking garage. Do your research on the website of the parking map and you should be set.\n\nA few misses that brought it down one star:\n-the Gluhwein booth is horribly placed with its long lines and skinny aisle between the booths and skating rink. Leads to a lot of bottlenecking. Better placement would be on a corner where the lines could snake around, not in the way of the crowd walking through\n-the live entertainment was horrid. Like, they couldn't sing. A single note. As a performer who has spent countless hours having perfect pitch drilled into my head, I have zero problem calling out crap performers. I sound pretentious and I'm owning up to it. Carmel is known for its state-of-the-art performing arts venues. We can get better performances.\n-A beer tent would've been great! I hope that's an addition in the future. It's a German market! Where's the beer!?\n-A lot of booths had toys, games and other kiddo-friendly things, but I would've been bored out of my mind as a kid. It would be great to have something like a petting zoo (with reindeer!) or other kid stuff that would make the market more than just walking around the booths. Just my two cents.\n\nAll in all, I'm sure this will expand to be bigger and better as the years go by. This is a great addition to Carmel and I hope many take advantage of it!",
"I love the idea of a traditional German-style Christmas market, and I'm pleased that the Carmel powers that be came up with such a great idea for the area. Short of traveling to Germany, or even Chicago to see such a thing, I'm glad that we have a nice local substitute in Indianapolis.\n\nWe went on the second day, right as it opened, and wow, was it crowded. The huge turnout shows how much people have the hunger for such a fun event, and I'm glad that so many people were out and about. The ice skating rink is very pretty, and there were many skaters on it, lending a picturesque air to the whole market. The downside was the weather--it was super cold! It was in the high 20s/low 30s and the wind was blowing like crazy! Weather aside, it was also crowded as heck, with big lines for all the food vendors. I think the vendors were a bit overwhelmed--I doubt any of them could anticipate such a huge turnout right at opening like that. I waited in line 20 minutes for a big pretzel, and when I got it, I'm sad to report that it was hard and stone cold. Again, I think the vendors were overwhelmed, and the weather sure wasn't making it easy for them to make hot food. I appreciated the fact that they had local mustard to go with the pretzels (Batch No. 2) but the unfortunate downside was that the mustard was in non-squeezy skinny bottles that had forks in them so you had to fish some mustard out--not easy to do when the mustard is watery. My husband stood in an even longer line for a bratwurst, and as he got near the counter, they announced they had run out. Bummer! I wish they had made the announcement sooner, to save everyone the time and hassle.\n\nI also think that more available food vendors and different spacing could have helped the market run more efficiently. The lines were really long and there were bottlenecks everywhere. In the walkways, there were also these concrete heater-type things shaped like round planters and filled with blue stones. They were nice to have around, but not very effective on a really cold day like that. And they unfortunately also contributed to the bottleneck problems, as they were situated close to the vendor stalls. We decided to cut out early, but as we were leaving, we saw some workmen unloading portable heat lamps to set up. \n\nOverall...I hope to go back on a warmer day, hopefully a day when the crowds are not so intense. I love local crafts and handmade decorations, so next time I'll focus on shopping and skip the food.\n\nHere's a rundown on some prices (at various vendors). Be forewarned that you'll be paying fair food prices + markup because it's Carmel. \n\n$5 for a big pretzel\n$5 for a small cup of hot chocolate \n$5 for a cup of coffee\n$12 for a bratwurst and sides",
"Really nice layout. Very crowded though. Long lines. Went on Sunday and it was crazy busy",
"I was really excited for this experience as I have friends who are from Chicago/now live there and I know they have a huge Christkindlmarkt. Upon arrival, I found there was quite a bit of congestion. \n\nI'm glad that the invite was free to the public since the intention is to spend money on the vendors. The ice skating rink is vast! I was not expecting how large and nice it was, but it was also the second day. \n\nI felt that they could've used more food vendors. We walked around each vendor and finally saw the line for the mulled wine and raclette and pretzels and those were the only vendors with lines that stretched around. Patrons were just walking around each booth and passing by and once you hit all the food and beverage vendors, you couldn't even walk around the line. It was so cold that there was no possibly way we could wait in line. \n\nOther than that, I would say the vendors are very authentic. Everything is handcrafted and the vendors enjoyed explaining how and why things were made. I would definitely recommend anticipating higher prices for the gifts and merchandise as they are homemade.",
"Just heard about the new Christkindlmarkt in Carmel, so of course I had to come check it out when I was in town for Thanksgiving. All the little huts selling knick knacks were cute, kinda reminded me of when I used to live in Switzerland. \n\nI was pleasantly surprised to find a hut selling raclette, yummy!!! The aroma of pungent cheese filled the air as I got close to see the bubbling cheese on the melting apparatus. I love raclette even more than I love fondue, so it was exciting to see. But instead of serving it over potatoes, they scraped the melted cheese over French baguette rolls topped with prosciutto. Too bad the line was way too long, so we didn't bother getting any. \n\nThere were two huts selling Glühwein and Kinderpünsch, and they offered the authentic little ceramic boot mugs if you wanted to pay a couple extra dollars more. Those lines were mega long, too. Looks like everyone knew where to go for the best of the Christmas market, haha. My bf said he saw the mayor of Carmel standing in line for Glühwein, too.\n\nDefinitely fun to take a stroll around for a quick look see, but it was too cold for me to dally for long. A guy standing by the ice rink was handing out brochures, and I just noticed right now (after I got home) that I could have gotten a free tote at Guest Services for checking in on Yelp. Oops. Oh well. But it's still awesome that Yelp is one of the sponsors, cool!",
"It was a wonderful night in Carmel. Have been to Christkindlmarkts before and it's nice to have one in Carmel! So much fun!!!"

"We were fortunate enough to get an invite to the soft launch of 'ZZA last weekend and I have no doubt we have just found one of our new go-to places for a great, healthy and inexpensive lunch or dinner. \n\nWe sampled pretty much everything on the menu and there wasn't a single thing we tried that we didn't really like. Local draft beer and a small but excellent wine selection make this place even better. Super kid friendly, though could also be great for a business lunch, dinner with friends or even take out. I image we'll be doing take out here at least 1-2x/week for the indefinite future.\n\nThere are two foods that never get old in my opinion- pizza and salad. And with the selection they have at 'ZZA- plus the \"make your own\" option- you could eat there every night for a month and never eat the same thing twice.\n\nNot sure when they're opening to the public but I believe it's soon and we cannot recommend highly enough. A++ and absolutely hits the spot.\n\nThank you for the invite and we'll be in line on opening night!",
"Got to check out 'ZZA at their soft opening last weekend and loved it. Simple, delicious, economical, fast. \n\nPizza is only as good as its crust and 'ZZA nails it. It's thin, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and incredibly flavorful. I sampled the \"Sweet Heat\" and \"Thai Dye,\" both of which were outstanding. (They're not kidding about the heat, FYI.) Some great local brews washed it all down nicely.\n\nThe atmosphere is fast casual, but with an upscale edge in a great setting--with huge picture windows looking out on Skinker (just off the Forest Park Parkway) on one side, and some great local artwork on the other. At just nine bucks per pizza and/or salad, 'ZZA is also a great deal.\n\nI highly recommend getting over there when they open to the public.",
"I ordered from Postmates and was immediately excited because they asked if I wanted my salad dressing mixed in. That is a small annoyance of most delivery or to-go orders: they don't mix in the dressing and then use such a small package that it's hard to evenly coat your salad. Food was ready fast and was fresh. I ordered the Poke Bowl Salad & loved it. Can't wait to try more items!",
"Next to Boba Noodles, it's a lesser Pi Pizzeria - considering this is owned by the Pi people. I do love the fast casual setting, but they need more seating and sometimes it is takes too long to make a salad or simple pizza to go vs. picking it up from Pi. This is a fast-casual concept that isn't executed well. \n\nPros:\n1) Wifi for customers!!\n2) Local Beer\n3) Salads but skimpy on the protein offerings. They have unique flavors like poke salads.\n4) Pizzas are thin crust and good\n\nCons:\n1) Slow, slow, and they tend to mess up your offerings, but I think they are still just working out the kinks.\n2) No parking, but it's near the Skinker Metro, but some parking in the back or use the residential streets. You should walk here if you live i the neighborhood. \n\nI'm glad this place is around the corner from me, but I wouldn't make a huge effort to visit it if I didn't need something convenient.",
"Good pizza, fast service. Square was down nationwide today and manager handled it really well.",
"We had the Postrio and the Thai Dye. Phenomenal! Ordered through Postmates. Absolutely delicious!",
"Great pizza! I've looked for more east coast style pizza here in STL and this was right on. \n\nRecommendations would be to provide large bowls for people eating in--the salads are sizeable and difficult to eat out of the to-go container. Plates for sharing pizza would also be helpful!",
"Meh. For the price it is a decent quality pizza but I was expecting the taste to be a lot better since the pizza creations they offer are interesting. \n\nThe crust was great which is why I gave 3 stars but the toppings sucked. Really skimpy on putting them on (I counted 5 slices of mushrooms and 7 slices of onion on the entire pizza) and I couldn't even taste the smoked gouda, which I did pay additional for. The sauce flavor was underwhelming and just didn't pop for me. \n\nI'll give this place another try at some point since the price is fine and possibly update my review, as they could have just had a new employee or something this day. We'll see!",
"Got the postorio and it was delicious while reasonably priced. Me and my guy split one flatbread and it was perfect. Our food came out fast and the staff was friendly!",
"We didn't know at the time but popped our heads into this place on our way to Bobo a couple of weeks ago and it looked like it was worth another trip. When we checked it out online and saw that it was owned by Chris Sommers of Pi, that was more than enough information to know we had to check it out.\n\nWe were glad we did for a couple of reasons. One, because the food was great (more in a moment) but two, because Chris was there and we got a chance to chat with him a bit about an industry he's been blazing a trail in for some time now. We've watched enough food shows to see owners interviewed, but Chris is at the top of the game. Discussing flavor profiles, and square footage of locations, foot traffic, etc. We eat out a lot and all over the country, but often take for granted the volume of detail that goes into a successful restaurant. Super nice, very well informed, and we were so happy to put a face to both Pi and ZZA,\n\nAbout the food. My wife opted for the build your own pizza so she could choose her toppings. I had the build your own salad. In each case you choose your base and then pick 5 things to go in or on your food. The list is nearly identical which makes it pretty easy. \n\nMy wife loved her pizza. The crust was great, the sauce and cheeses very flavorful; and the sausage had just enough kick to take it up a notch. Collectively, the ingredients as a whole are better than your typical pizza place which when combined with the crust makes for an excellent pizza.\n\nMy salad was also very good. It's easy to screw up a salad. wilted lettuce; too much or too little dressing, not enough other ingredients so you feel like it's a scavenger hunt, etc. The salad was the perfect mix of all of the above and the chipotle caesar dressing was a nice spin on the traditional which once again took the salad up a notch to make it better than most of the other salads in town.\n\nAs an extra treat, we tried the Poke bowl. Neither of us have had one before but were intrigued. Ahi tuna in a bowl with mixed greens, torn nori, edamame, brown rice, quinoa, seaweed salad, sriracha mayo, toasted sesame, crispy garlic, togarashi, and sesame ginger dressing. Chris said it was one of the few places you could get a Poke bowl in the area, but they are very popular in other parts of the country and he expects them to be huge very soon. \nWe can clearly see why. It was fresh, tasty, and a combination of ingredients we've never had before.\n\nSo, we had a great meal, with some great conversation, and learned a little bit about the industry in the process. We will definitely be back!\n\nUPDATE: After being back a few more times, I am happy to give it another star. Consistently excellent each time deserves the added praise and star. Thank you Chris; well deserved."

"I was raised on Viva Burrito. My first job was right next to a Nico's. Spent my college years with Taco Shop. Worked across the street from Filiberto's AND Los Beto's. And my house sits less than a mile from Paco's. All that to say, this isn't my first rodeo with Tucson's string of fast-food burrito shops. It's like I was raised by each of the 5 families of the Italian mafia. Places like this are born into a crucible, destined to either fame and folklore, or closed on Monday and forgotten on Tuesday. \n\nSo of course I was excited to try this new spot, this new challenger entering the ring. By my metric, there are two things that make a quality fighter, er I mean, breakfast burrito. Affordability and taste. No one wants a three dollar pile of garbage, nor does anyone want a 12 dollar quality burrito. Make it cheap, make it tasty. \n\nSo let's get to Riliberto's. Was it cheap? Nah. It was $5.95 for a sausage breakfast burrito, and that was WITHOUT potatoes! \"Without potatoes\"?? Should I specify that I'd like it wrapped in a tortilla too? Do I have to order my nachos with cheese? Where am I?!? *ahem* I digress. \n\nSo it ended up being about 7 bucks for one burrito, which for a brand new spot, doesn't get me excited. How about the flavor tho? I can sum it up in one word: forgettable. It was clear that the potatoes were cooked separate from the eggs and sausage because they retained a very distinct potato flavor in each bite of burrito, which was not to my liking. Also the sauce it came with might as well have been water with red food dye, that's about how much flavor it possessed. \n\nSo affordability? Very poor. Flavor? Subpar. Likelihood that I'll be returning soon? LOL. There's much, much better in this neighborhood. Do a service to the quality restaurants in this area and pass on this subpar spot.",
"Well, I can't say I was super excited about my breakfast burrito, but neither was it unexciting- I'll try it again. I couldn't pass up the breakfast burrito deal, which I know may be a limited time deal ($2.99 before 10:30 am, but again, that could just be a temporary deal and gone by the time you read this). I had the choice of steak, sausage or regular egg and potato (which I chose the latter). It was hot and fresh but it wasn't the most flavorful, either. I've always enjoyed Nico's and some Viva Burrito as well as other local owned shops throughout Tucson, but the egg and potato did not jump out at me. I often don't even need salsa in the burrito but in this case, I needed one for the flavor. It was hot and filling though and at 2.99 and some tax it was a great deal. For 5.99- I'm not so sure.",
"My wife and I were visiting Tucson and stopped by this place for breakfast. The first impression as we stepped in was how clean the place was. The staff were very friendly and we loved the food. So much so that we went back for lunch the very same day before leaving Tucson. Their fish tacos were the best we have ever had.",
"I was in the mood for quick and easy street taco. Riliberto's fresh Mexican food caught my eye and I gave them a try. I ordered a Cabeza taco and tortillas for the salsa bar. Everything exceeded my expectations. The staff were super friendly and the restaurant and bathrooms were amazingly clean. Riliberto's is a very cheerful and comfortable. Open 24 hours, I'll be back.",
"For the dollar amount of the food was alright - ordered tacos 4 wrong 4 Correct \nAsked for cheese $8.00 extra for teaspoon amount on each one - when cheese is extra for $.99 cents for each item then you better get a substantial amount THAT IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF\nAgain food taste good but the price on cheese and associated to the amount you get and on top of the mistake get not what I asked for - I will be back - just learned my lesson to look first and never order extra cheese - could have but a bag of shredded cheese at the store and still had left over for $2.50",
"If you like fast Mexican food, you'll love Riliberto's! The tortillas were fresh, the chips were warm and crispy. They have a Salsa Bar! I mean, any half decent Mexican food taco/ burro shop type place will have a good salsa bar. We got breakfast burritos, next time we will split them, they are big. Friendly service, drive thru and plenty of seating, very clean looking.",
"This was probably the worst burrito I have ever ordered. I ordered the California burrito on doordash. First, it was late, which isn't a big deal but i received notification that it was being made after the expected delivery time. \n\nSecond, it was undercooked. The fries inside were soft and oily and definitely not as warm as the rest of the burrito. Something tells me point 1 led into point 2. \n\nThe carne asada was also rubbery and tasteless. The cheese was in the same boat.\n\nLong story short, I would have returned this burrito if I were eating at the restuarant. Only bright spot is that I'm on work travel so I didn't throw money down the drain on this. Here's to hoping I don't get food poisoning tonight.",
"I was in Tucson for work and stopped by Riliberto's on my way back to Phoenix. What an incredible find! \n\nThe Carne Asada was high quality beef steak and the Bacon burrito was delicious. Elsa was the cashier and she was just so sweet. The restaurant itself was rather cute- pretty colors, a free salsa bar and super clean. I will be back on my next visit to Tucson. Riliberto's is my new favorite for hearty, authentic and yummy Mexican.",
"First time here. The cabeza street tacos are delicious, and at 1.29 a pop, they're a steal! The cherry on top was the prompt, friendly service from the two employees working the night shift, and the cleanliness of the restaurant (something that is not common with these types of restaurants.)",
"My husband and I tried this place for the first time the other day and it was alright. The place was very clean and it wasn't bad but it really wasn't memorable. We ordered chicken and beef tacos. The meat was juicy and tasted good. The rice and beans were alright. The beans were a little thick which tells me they've been sitting for a bit and they weren't really hot. They do have a small salsa bar which is nice. This place is pretty much a more expensive Los Betos with different salsas. The customer service here isn't great either. You're not greeted when you walk in and after you get your food, you don't matter anymore."

"New tampa's outlet mall with lot of shops. But opening day there are very limited parking spots, have to walk a lot.",
"My daughter and I visited on opening day, we really enjoyed the atmosphere. Nice, clean environment with a great selection of stores. I especially enjoyed the coupons that were handed out at the entrance for each store throughout the day. I can definitely see myself visiting this outlet often. I did not go into the food court but it would be nice to see a \"sit down restaurant \" or two to enjoy while shopping.",
"Opening Day and the place was full of happy shoppers AND retail workers! Every store we went into we were greeted and the smiles were a'plenty! Let's just hope those smiles turned into sales because I really want this place to thrive! There are several open spots still, and I'd love to see them filled with stores like: David Yurman, BCBG, etc. instead of Claire's...just MY personal hopes and dreams!\n\nThe food court has 5 restaurants that serve: salads & smoothies, pizzas, pasta, strombolis, multiple yummy asian foods, Philadelphia cheesesteaks & fries, and a Johnny Rockets (which doesn't open until the first week of November). The place was packed. PACKED. But, the lines went especially smoothly and we did find a place to sit - there is plenty of seating!\n\nOutside there are the coolest adirondack chairs all over to pop a squat when the shopping experience is too harrowing - go ahead, they're very cozy! There is also a fire pit for those cold shopping days we have so often...what???? It looks cool, though!\n\nAnd, the piéce d' resistance - my ultimate fave - Starbucks!!! I cannot tell you how important coffee is to my shopping experience. Truly, it's a fact. I LOVE to have all-day shopping days, which means good food court munchies and coffee. I have been to too many outlets that serve that other brand...I'm not even saying their name...just breathe a sigh of relief. Tampa did it right!!",
"too packed and for being the grand opening,,,,,no parking,....cops are everywhere, and the wait is around 30 minutes...kinda disappointed",
"Addidas store was the best .. Manager,German was very helpful and he went out of his way to help .\nGreat customer service skills.",
"I have already been to the Tampa Premium Outlet twice on this first Grand Opening Weekend! All was smooth & the drive for my commute & park was 15 minutes. Sweet, no problems!\n\nI loved some of the Grand Opening inclusions, and I really hope they do it again. For example, the fireworks on Friday were fun. I also loved that they had 8 food trucks on two sides of the mall area. Please bring it back. There are only like 5 food vendors in the food court, plus a Starbucks, Lemonade stand, frozen ice vendor, and a super crowded Auntie Annie Pretzel shop. I also loved the VIP Lounge. I could have stayed there forever being pampered with getting my hair done, make up, chair massage, photo booth, chocolates, cake pop, and water. Also, can't forget those comfy couches basking in the A/C.\n\nI was super happy to see the variety of stores that are now in my neighborhood. For example, stores there are Michael Kors, Adidas, Puma, Papaya, New York and Company, Vera Bradley, Mimmic Jewelry store, Skechers, Yankee Candle, and Loft. I would love to see a Kate Spade Store, Old Navy Store, & a spa. There are a bunch of stores for everyone's liking. There are also few open spaces so I can't see what else will come.\n\nThe center area of the outlet mall is very pretty and has a nice Florida feel to it with a flowered landscape, bridge, and fountains that even light up at night. \n\nTotally excited that this so close to home. I can easily take my doggie with me, and we will make our rounds with our favorite Wiregrass Mall and now Tampa Premium Outlet.\n\nI look forward to all that is to come. I really hope there are fun festive activities for the upcoming Xmas season, as well as maybe a new location for Tampa Food Truck Rallies!",
"Addidas is great i enjoyed the store and all the workers were very friendly. Great layout and staff is very curtious to our needs",
"I got out to the Tampa Premium outlets during their opening weekend event. I had a blast roaming the stores and checking out the all of the event they had going on during that weekend. I will say that because of the influx of shoppers they expected that were stoked with cops, traffic directors and valet parkers, so they tried to be prepared for the madness. \n\nThe flow of outlet seems good and there is plenty of parking but they do need to work on paving in the rest of the parking lot. There were a lot of people in new clothes ready to peruse the new shopping plaza getting out the car into dust and mud... NO BEUNO!!!\n\nOther than that I am sure this outlet will become a staple in Tampa as long as it stays clean and the store staff continues to be cordial and friendly to the shoppers. It's a WIN - WIN situation for all!!!",
"Finally got out to the Tampa Premium Outlets. I loved the selection of stores, pleasant shopping experience. The best experience was at the Adidas store, Manager, German, greeted us at the door, so pleasant and friendly. His staff were just as pleasant. The customer service is great. Will definitely go back for all of my families sporting needs. Top notch customer service.",
"Yey! Finally an outlet in Tampa! No more driving in Otown to go shopping anymore! It seems pretty small but they do have a lot of good stores. So many shoe stores-(I was in shoe heaven tonight!) the prices are still a bit high maybe because they just opened? I'll wait it out for a couple months/years, maybe their price tags will be more affordable for some people like myself (yeah! I'm cheap)."

"Specialty Korean bakery well worth the trek. Fresh everything from bread to pastries to korokke. No preservatives, so need to be eaten right away.",
"Here is the deal on this place: It has the BEST BING SOO in ST. LOUIS!!\n\nI can say that because you can't find this anywhere else. Probalby another hidden St. Louis secret. Basically, Bing Soo is the assortment of red beans, doughy sweet stuff, fruits, and shaved ice coupled in a big bowl. They only serve it from May until the hot days of summer die down.\n\nI didn't even speak about the pastries and baked goods. Slightly on pricier side but Korean bakeries tend to be mroe pricier. Certainly tasty. I have to find some pics to post, because I think the interior of the bakery is clean, well lit, peaceful, and I think even has wifi!!",
"BING SOO BING SOO BING SOO BING SOO!!!!!!!\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patbingsu\n\nIs this the ONLY place that has pat bing soo? \n\nI came here many many years ago and wasn't really impressed with the place, but Jason Q's review severely piqued my interested in the place again. \n\nI really don't understand why this place is so much more expensive, but it IS the only Korean bakery in town and it IS in an area that's more expensive than the Chinese bakery in U City... I'm not even sure if the bing soo is worth the 7 buck or so price.... but regardless if you're craving for this, GO NOW!",
"I will concur with other reviews, the very best pat bing soo! I will also tell you the baked goods are simply to die for! \n\nThe light and fluffy cake it's undeniably the greatest things ever! And lets not forget the smooth creamy butter cream icing layered in between. It's not too sweet so it's a delicious balance. There are very many treats that i would encourage you to go in and try. Anything of the items on the wall, red been pastry, cream filled, it's all great!!!!",
"I am a def. fan of this korean bakery. \nThe bread is made fresh daily and their quality is pretty impressive. \n\nThey have bread filled with sweet red bean paste, mung bean paste, peanut cream, butter cream, and custard. \n\nsooo gooodd. I like their breads b/c the fillings are always equally spread. If you go to some bad ones.. they have no fillings or it is always shifted to one side. blah. \n\nTry their almond crackers. AMAZING! I wasn't going to get them but I accidentally dropped the container, felt bad so i bought them. And I am addicted to them.. bad bad bad for my diet.\n\nIf you keep walking towards the counter, they have more breads inside the glass. and They are fried breads.. mmmm \n\nbasically korean donuts. sooo good, \nI had ones with red bean paste in them and they are delicious. \n\nAlso, try their sticky rice ball that is filled red bean paste and it is also fried. \n\nFor my birthday, I love to get their fruit cake. Fresh fruit on top with fluffy korean cake with light frostings that is not too sweet. \nThis winter's fruit cost must be expensive b/c they downgraded from last time I got them in terms of number/quality of the fruit on top of the cake. \n\noverall, very good, delicious place that would satisfy your asian bakery craving in st. louis",
"Four star patbingsu (Korean shaved ice dessert with fresh fruit pieces, rice cake, sweet beans, peanut shavings, etc. Others have already described it below) but one star price. $7 for a shaved ice drink? Really? I just came back from one of the world's most expensive cities where I rarely had to pay 5 euros for a dessert at a cafe. To be charged this amount by a strip mall bakery in St. Louis is just ridiculous. \n\nWhat this town needs is competition...another place that offers this tasty dessert, to show Korean Bakery a run for its money.",
"The breads here are consistently great. They taste great and you can tell they are made from quality ingredients. Favorites include the custard and cream buns. I have ordered their fruit cakes from here a few times and seriously the best birthday cake ever!\n\nAs far as their patbingsu (shaved ice).. it really only gets 2 stars so I would not recommend getting it here. Unfortunately.. I'm not sure where else you can find it in the STL. The consistency of the shaved ice was totally off, with large chunks of ice in it - totally not smooth at all. Moreover, it is tiny for a big price of $7. \n\nStick to the breads!",
"French Toast!!\n\nPricey and could add up quickly. But all you need is the french toast!",
"Hidden gem!!! I moved to Chesterfield from Chicago; I also lived in Boston and outside NYC and was so surprised to find this Korean bakery along Olive seeing as I haven't really seen too many Koreans in Chesterfield. Anyways, this place is awesome!! Best breads (both savory and sweet), cookies, cakes, and, in the summertime, potbinsoo... The goods are fresh and there's a huge variety. I have to move again in a few weeks and this bakery will be one of the things I miss most. Amazing find in the suburbs...I have loved everything I tried. Ordered the beautiful, light cakes for birthdays.",
"What a gorgeous array of offerings. The chill case is full of beautifully decorated cakes, mini cakes and tarts that are absolute perfect works of art.\n\nThe \"fruit cakes\" were cakes that were covered with gorgeously glazed fruit -- kiwi, strawberries, blueberries and other fruits. So, they're not what you would think of as Aunt Sally's nasty Christmas \"fruit cake.\"\n\nAnother display case had incredibly thick pieces of French toast, and lots of thick, fried doughut-looking things.\n\nKorean pancake samples were available. How delicious! Quite sweet.\n\nCookies and other assorted treats were prepackaged in small see-through and resealable bags along the wall. So many choices.\n\nWe got cheese cookies, almond crisps, tomato paste cookies, a butter cream bun, Korean pancakes, honey cookies, a peanut butter bun and mocha bread.\n\nEverything was delicious; most weren't overly sweet. The Korean pancake was the sweetest with a filling of sugary-mapley goo."

"I went to this location for lunch today. For the future readers of this important yelp it was 20 degrees. I had the Brunswick stew and the Wet BBQ sandwich. The Brunswick stew is more like a soup. It comes in a beef broth with Lima beans corn potato chunks and smoked chicken. Very tasty. It has a sweet flavor along with a smoked flavor. I enjoy this dish and to the best of my knowledge it is the only place in St. Louis that serves this east coast BBQ stew.\n\nThe Wet BBQ sandwich comes on a monster kaiser roll loaded with smoked pork and beef with the BBQ sauce. Hence the \"wet\" name. Just an outstanding lunch and a great price. $6.50 for the sandwich and fries and $3.99 for the stew. Around the table the other two people both ordered the BBQ rib luncheon special. These guys knew their way around Bandana's they both asked for center cut ribs. What that means is the ribs come from the center of the rack and has the most meat. Nice tip huh? This special came with 4 ribs and two sides and what looked like a loaf of garlic french bread. It was under $10.00. \n\nNow the big comparison between Pappy's and Bandana's. The ribs they serve at Pappy's are baby back ribs aka loin back. The ribs they serve at Bandana's are spare ribs cut \"St. Louis Style\". Spare ribs give you a lot of meat per rib. Since I did not sample the ribs on this visit I was looking for things I could compare. Both ribs have a good rub and bark. Pappy's ribs were fall of the bone style were Bandana's were \"chewy\" both styles of ribs are acceptable but the \"fall off the bone\" rib is an over done rib. Not putting that style down it is just how it would be judged at a BBQ contest. My personal taste is chewy but I think it is a personal choice. Over all winner. Well they both got 4 from me.",
"Consistency.\n\nIt's hard to achieve yet essential for food.\n\nWhy rate Bandana's Bar-BQ at this location when there are others of this franchise? In 2004 there were only four of these franchises which to me, being not from St. Louis, represented \"St. Louis BBQ\". Now the popularity has shown its growth into more locations. It was awesome. This location in Maryland Heights has been the most consistent in producing a nice, juicy, rack of BBQ ribs where the meat falls off the bone. not too dry. not so fat and juicy I feel sick. Just right.\n\nI come here alot. I do take out alot too!\n\nThere is another Bandanas that just opened up in 2010 off in Creve Coeur, Olive Blvd. Oddly, their rack of ribs is dry and lacks the juicy taste from this franchise location.\n\nAnyhow, the easiest meal is the rack of ribs that comes with garlic bread and two sides. Opt for the BBQ baked beans. The second side? Your call.\n\nNote: FYI, the Bandana's located in Clayton should never be first choice to take people from out of town. Why? They DON'T have wood burning stoves!! That's right. Clayton law prevents combustion of that nature therefore all their stoves are gas powered only. That explains the taste.\n\nFinal Comments on BBQ:\n1. Pappy's. Overated. Good? Yeah, ok.. but too dry. No reason for me to have to lose some teeth pulling the meat off bone. Their sides are decent. But no garlic bread there!\n2. 17th Street Bar and Grill in O'fallon illinois is another favorite. Perhaps better than Bandanas\n3. Piggie's in Ofallon comes close to Bandanas in juicy factor but lacks the flavor of the sauces.",
"Good BBQ. Awesome BBQ loaded potato. Nice country atmosphere.\nWould go again.",
"Awesome place for ribs and BBQ. One of the must places to stop while in St. Louis. Great food and great service.",
"St. Louis Style BBQ Chain.\nPretty solid representation.\nI love the ribs and their signature BBQ sauces.\nI am a fan but I tend to frequent the \"one of a kind\" BBQ joints rather than the chain folks.",
"I give this place a 5 for their service alone!! Very friendly. Good food. I had the pulled chicken with the St Louis sauce and enjoyed.",
"This location is tucked right in front of a Drury Hotel at Dorestt & 270.\n\nI've eaten at many different locations in town and am always happy when I get the Pulled Pork. So happy in fact that I consider branching out and trying other stuff. I'm normally disappointed when I branch out.\n\nGarlic bread absolutely rocks! Beans are wicked good! Applesauce is just ok, not great. \n\nSmoked Sausage is just ok, nothing special.\n\nSauces are all awesome, my favorites are Chicago Sweet and KC Style.\n\nI'd rate this higher, but it just seems that once I get past the Pork & Baked Beans, there is a huge dropoff.",
"I was visiting while on business and decided to try this place out. With all the talk about St. Louis BBQ, I decided to try this restaurant thinking I would get good, authentic STL BBQ. I was wrong. I ordered take-out, so I can't comment on the dine-in experience. I ordered online, but it was not ready when I arrived. It was dinner time, but I noticed there weren't many people there. The workers there were giving odd looks at me for some reason while I waited.\n\nAfter waiting, I finally receive my food. I had the ribs, chicken, pulled pork combo and there were all dry as sand. They had no flavor and the portions were small. For almost $20, I expected bigger portions and better BBQ especially being in St. Louis.",
"Some people don't know how its done.... Let me explain...\n\nAt Bandana's, you dont get the full experience unless you (1) Dine -In (2) have access to ALL of their sauces throughout your WHOLE meal time (3) be willing to get messy. \n\nI can't say its authentic STL BBQ... but its pretty damn good! I usually order the basket of ribs, with the garlic bread and a side. \n\nThey obviously season their ribs prior to cooking. Its seasoned with a dry rub... yes dry. BUT, upon arrival to your table, you are to put whichever BBQ sauce you want (located on the table.) This is how it gets messy... \n\nThey have a selection of probably 4 sauces, ranging from sweet mild to a spicy. You can even mix n match! The garlic bread is a little crispy on the outside but its got good flavor! They have a roll of Paper Towels (hefty duty) on the table for your convenience. \n\nThe waitstafff is normally poilte and just average. But I have never tasted a BBQ like Bandana's! \n\nOne of a kind! Only in the Lou!!",
"Here is why I like this location:\n\n1) I work very close to the location. I can get in and out in less than 30 minutes and have a to go cup of tea with me\n\n2) Fast. Did I mention how fast these people are? They don't mess around\n\n3) Sweet Tea. Back in the day, sweet tea used to be scarce and this was one of my places for it. Growing up in the South, its a staple. Theirs is pretty darn good\n\n4) Sauce - I like the original. But there are tons of options\n\n5) Saving calories? Skip the delicious bread and they'll give you an extra side - green beans are less than 40 calories!\n\n6) Eat fast, get a wet wipe. \n\nThe end."

"I really like this place. Everything is freshly made. I had the brown rice, sweet potato noodles, BBQ chicken, roasted sweet potatos & Herb balsamic vinaigrette. Very filling & Good.",
"I've only been to FK once before and it wasn't that memorable of a meal. Stopped in their new location on Kennedy since it's near my office. I got the \"4 bowl\" which comes with two bases and a protein and a veggie. I went with double \"perfect spice rice\", roasted sweet potatoes and steak (1.50 upcharge). The steak was tasty, high quality. I was happy with that choice but I got what was left in the pan, which didn't seem like a lot. You would think if they were running low they'd have a new batch ready to go or at least say \"it'll just be a couple minutes.\" So I'm not sure if what I got was the normal serving size of the protein. In any case, the bowl was good though not worthy of the price point. The creamy white ginger sauce was a good complement for the steak. The sweet potatoes were OK. I think the veggie choices could be improved. The juice/drink cooler was bare. Just one choice (coffee). Since I ordered to go, I didn't stick around for the fountain drinks or take in the atmosphere. Parking was not a problem right after work.",
"We've eaten at the Howard location many times and have always loved everything about it (except the parking). Since I drive down this section of Kennedy several times a week I was excited to see the new location and have been looking forward to stopping in for dinner. As is the case with the Howard location the food is awesome. The only issue I can see is the portion sizes seem to be much smaller, almost significantly so. My husband and I were both surprised by the difference in portions and probably won't be back to this location unless that changes.",
"The door says \"Order Online\" but on the website there is no option for any location in Tampa. Only options are for Orlando and Boca Raton.",
"We excited for new kid in the block due to our past experience with fresh kitchen on other location. Finally there is one just close to the mall. It make the location easy before I go to the movie to fill my energy. Parking in the front is limited but there are plenty of parking space at the back. \n\nI like the theme with pink color. Pink color stand for sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tenderness. This may be why they found their food. I got the six. Which mean 2 protein, 2 bases, 2 veggies. That is the biggest bowl you can get. After that just add addition. I have Ahi tuna poke, Herb grilled steak, green bean, roasted mushrooms, coconut ginger rice, sweet potatoes noodle. I have add on as pesto tomato. You think by now you have big bowl. That was not. It was not even full to the top. \n\nAfter two hours, I have to run to restroom several time. The food didn't seat well. It is just not fresh. Because this incident, I think it will be 2 stars. In compare to other Fresh Kitchen, this location need some work.",
"Excited that FK on Kennedy is finally open! \nI love the BBQ chicken, roasted mushrooms and perfect spice rice. Tried the guacamole for the first time today and it's delicious",
"Overall, a fine first visit at the new Kennedy Blvd. location. Service was good, and the long line moved along well. The cashier was particularly helpful and friendly, patient with my brief indecisiveness on which sauce to choose. I had a 2-2-2 bowl - bbq chicken, citrus grilled chicken, sweet potatoes, green beans, brown rice and noodles. All was delicious. But I was surpised not to have had any left to take home, as has always happened before at the other location. I think the portion size was smaller but the prices haven't changed! Parking was fine on this Saturday afternoon. Outside seating is welcoming and clean.",
"Out of the Soho and St. Pete locations I must say that this FK is the best! I don't know what it is but, if FK could get any better the Westshore location is more flavorful and even more delicious. Couldn't be any happier.",
"This is my first time experiencing a meal at Fresh Kitchen and am very pleased. I kept hearing how I had to \"check this place out\" and now know what everyone has been raving about. Delicious food, clean restaurant and a friendly staff...way to go Fresh Kitchen...I will be back!",
"How can you not like this place. Simply great quality food.Awesome........Probally my favorite best veg place around."

"Hands down, this is one of the best places (if not THE BEST) to get hot pot in town. Food is very tasty and menu is straightforward. They use quality meat (certified Angus beef, Snake River Farms pork, etc.) for their hot pots. My personal favorite, however, is the seafood (and they serve you with LOTS of seafood). Service was a bit slow but has improved a lot since opening. Oh, did I mention that they have awesome boba and fruit tea too? These are must-trys as well!!!",
"Plenty of parking spaces and friendly staff. Their pork feet is a must try! We forgot to take pictures of our food as they look so delish and we just went ahead and finished them all... I personally prefer Uniboil over any other hot pot places (i.e. Boiling Point) as Uniboil offers larger portions and unique dishes. This place also offers milk tea or fruit tea and great variety of appetizers, so you have a chance to try everything without moving between several locations. We had milk tea which is not too sweet (thank god) and fruit tea that also tastes really good. Will definitely come back to try other dishes!",
"Solid hotpot and tea, was not expecting this in Goleta! I think the fruit teas are pretty pricey, but I thoroughly enjoy the flavor, and ask if they can do less ice when you order.",
"Awesome place... Needed a hotpot place in sb for a while no longer have to go to la for your hotpot cravings the owner was awesome and was very attentive to our table.",
"Disappointed. \n\nI ordered the uniboil satay hot soup with beef and what I got was pretty much an 1/8 inch of oil floating on some boiling hot water. It was pretty impossible to drink my flavorless broth without getting a mouthful of oil. The beef was okay, but everything else was subpar. Definitely prefer 212 hot pot in IV over this place.",
"If I could rate this a 6/5 i would. Honestly the closest thing to good hotpot, milk tea, and boba you will find in Santa Barbara. The beef tastes super fresh and the broth is A1. I love the phresh milk tea, it is super similar to milk tea you would get in China.",
"I had a lovely time at Uniboil. They offered different soup base for the hot pot, especially the pepper numb hot pot which was in the traditional Chinese made! In addition, they have enough sauce choice since I am a heavy spicy taste lover. Everything tasted delicious and fresh! \n\nAnd Uniboil has the best bubble tea in Goleta! You definitely have to try phresh fruit tea and the phresh milk tea here! They put fresh fruit directly in their fruit tea, which looks so pretty.\n\nUniboil is a nice place for chatting with enough parking and very close to UCSB!",
"The best hotspot place in town!!! And their milk tea really rocks !!! I come here everyday but I am not tired of him .",
"Just had lunch with my body. They all loved it. We basically come here every other day. This is the only hot pot place I don't need to drink a lot water after my meal. Rocks!!!",
"loved li!!! I love their hot pot, I loved their fruit teas, they basically have everything!!! Their popcorn chicken!!! The best!"

"Recently having gone some cosmetic renovations, the Monkey's Tale is a unique Broad Ripple spot that has regular live music, though they rarely feature emerging artists; it's more of a cover-band type of atmosphere. \n\nThe Tale has great drinks and friendly bartenders who know how to treat people who like to just chill and drink some cocktails. When there are not bands playing, they have good music in the background and it's just an overall chilled out vibe in there. In the summertime, they often have bands playing on the outside deck both during the early parts and the day, as well as at night. The deck is large and is super cool at night, when the weather is enjoyable. \n\nMetered parking is available on the street along Westfield. There is also a surface lot across the street, which is free during the day and usually costs $5 on weekend nights.",
"Fomerly the Jazz Cooker. \n\nCurrently, one of those places I'd rather gnaw my arm off then go to. A couple of the frat bros. used to love this joint and went here often. Now they live in NYC and I couldn't be happier that I almost never have to go here, unless they come to visit, in which case I am more than happy to meet them at the gate to go somewhere else.\n\nIf; you have not been here you can not begin to understand why its so foul. First the place stays at a balmy 125 degree year round. Windows open or closed, AC on or off, summer or winter. They have live music, which would be nice if the place was more than 20 sq. feet. OK, so it's not that small, but it's close. The bar is nearly impossible to get to, and the bartenders always act like they have something better to do. I am your income, please be nice to me, or at least pretend. \n\nThey charge cover...I mean really, $5 to get in the door of this place...get out of town. Imagine one of your friends made you pay $5 bucks to cram into their living room with no drinks and loud music pounding in your head....argh, this is getting my blood pressure up...next review.",
"Heh, I like The Monkey's Tale. First of all let me say that I've never experienced cover here. The inside is very small, that's true. And busted-looking. There's two rooms, one of which contains the bar and the other of which contains some tables, what might possibly serve as a stage sometimes, and some weird pinball machines. I can see how the bar might be hard to get to if the place is packed, but contrary to Byron's experience, I've always found the bartenders to be pleasant and helpful.\n\nThe real time to hit up the Monkey's Tale, though, is in the summer, when local bands play on the patio and everyone can sit out there and listen. The deck is tree-shaded and cozy, and it's cheerful to watch people pass by on the walkway, or run over to the snow-cone shack across the street for a sweet treat before coming back for another pitcher. Yes, I like lazy summer days at the Monkey's Tale.",
"In my opinion, this is one of the best night spots in broad ripple. They have an awesome patio area that lets you hang out under the summer air while listening to the live band or people trying to sing karaoke. I would go a bit earlier than 11:00, otherwise there may not be a seat on the patio. The bar is always friendly and packed, but not to the point where you risk being parched. Good music, good people, good times.",
"By far my favorite spot in Broad Ripple to hang outdoors and drink with friends. This spot has a large patio with ample seating where live music and karaoke is done nightly. There is usually a $5 cover on weekend nights but I gladly pay that to be able to sit outside on a nice summer night and drink a few brews. The bar inside is reasonably priced, $2.50 per beer usually, and is not packed enough to make it difficult to get served. If you like live music and are not into the dark, crowded, noisy, smokey atmosphere of most Broad Ripple establishments, give this one a try and you wont be disappointed",
"There are really two \"tales\"....the one that exists before 11pm & the one that takes over as it gets later. Both are good, but the late one gets the 5 stars. Though I've been here too many times to count, I've never ate here, but I can always get a stiff drink & have a great time with friends. You know you had a good time when you frequently have to take a cab back to the Tale to retrieve your car & credit card.",
"if you visiting Indy, you have a few options: the backyard BBQ and pool party, the downtown scene, or the college-bar-esque atmosphere that is Broad Ripple.*\n\nMonkey's Tale is right in the middle, has great karaoke outside, a huge deck area, cheap drinks (on par for Indy but for those of us accustomed to LA, NYC, SF, and/or Miami, you wouldn't be surprised to hear that it had one friend HUGGING a waitress thinking she'd significantly discounted our tab)\n\nThe clientele are pretty solid, so much so that one turned out to be a bartender at a place nearby which resulted in a lock-in and lots of complimentary drinks.\n\nWould I go back? Absolutely.\n\n*note: many locals will slur \"broad ripple\" (two words) into one gelatinous multisyllabic blurb that almost sounds like the name of a terrible strip club, but it's two words and in fact a rather innocent sounding Midwestern-type name.",
"I came here on STPD with some friends to enjoy live music. We sat outside and enjoyed some good tunes and even better beer.\n\nOne thing to keep in mind: no one was servicing the outdoor seating area, so when we wanted drinks, we had to get up and go inside and order them from the bar. Not such a bad thing seeing as how we had been drinking all day and could afford to burn a few calories! \n\nAll in all: good beer selection and live music outdoors? You have my vote! I will definitely be back!",
"Eh. This place is okay. I've been here a couple times. The first time, there was some karaoke going on, and we sat out by the patio. It can really fill up. \n\nI went back last week and sat on the patio. I had never been during the day, so I couldn't tell that the exterior of the building is actually really cool. Red paint, black trim, yellow sign with Fleur de lis. I saw other fleur de lis inside, and a couple New Orleans-inspired prints, but other than that, the place really lacked the feel it seemed they are going for. \n\nInstead of cover bands, it'd be nice to have some good jazz there- right in broadripple. The place is built for lot of people to hang around. Cramping it up might be a good idea.",
"I never actually got into this place on the night I wanted to go (Sunday). They wanted a cover charge on a SUNDAY night for Karaoke. If it was a band, I might understand. With a band, you're reasonably assured of halfway decent entertainment. With karaoke there's too many unknown quantities/variables to ask for a cover charge. Do I get a refund if I don't like the singers? Will the karaoke host have the songs in his library that I want to sing? Will I get a chance to sing frequently enough? I can understand a 1 drink minimum but not a cover charge for this type of entertainment offering."

"They are the self-proclaimed \"King of Steaks\", so I decided to try them out. The cheese steak was not bad, but it did not live up to the expectations. I have had better,",
"One of the better cheesesteaks in jersey that rivals some of the best in Philly. Disclaimer: everyone's perfect cheesesteak is different, this just happened to suit me",
"I've only had the tuna sub and the cheese steak....both were delicious. I definitely recommend.",
"I have had cheesesteaks in several cities (including an excellent one in California of all places) and the one I had at Gaetano's today is in the top three! The bread was super fresh and the crust had the perfect crunch. The meat was premium quality, very tender and the onions were perfectly translucent and very sweet. I'm only here for a week, but I'm sure to go back at least twice to try the Don and get my fill of another cheesesteak because nothing like this is available back in Seattle.",
"We were in town for just the weekend and had done our research on where to get cheesesteaks at the touristy places, but driving around looking for dinner one night we ended up here. AMAZING quality and quantity of food. We ordered 2 Philly cheesesteaks, 1 regular cheesesteak, 1 chicken cheesesteak, curly fries, regular fries, onion rings, and a small order of wings. The sandwiches were massive, and came out hot, fresh, and fantastic. We were expecting small orders of fries, but there were a huge plates of fresh, hot and perfectly cooked fries. I don't think the wings got touched until hours later, out of a hotel microwave but they were good too. Nicely sauced, cooked correctly. When I first paid the bill I thought \"man, we could have gone to a nice restaurant for this much money\" but when we ended up making 2 meals out of everything, and for such good quality -- it was a bill I very happy with. Warning: if you're not starving, order the mini-cheesesteak and split the fries! If we're ever back up Philly way, I know we'll be back!",
"We just had a party catered by them and I cannot tell you how very pleased we were! All the guests went crazy over the cheesesteaks. The antipasto salad was top quality with plenty of meats and cheeses. Hoagie tray was also enjoyed! The fruit salad tray they put together was loaded with fresh, ripe fruit of perfect quality. We had ordered 120 wings which , next time, (because we will definitely be using them again). They delivered our food exactly when promised and exactly as ordered. Very professional and accommodating!",
"Consistently very good. Friendly people. The bread they use is FAR better than other cheesesteak places in south jersey. Mozzarella sticks are fantastic.",
"The best Cheesesteaks!!!! As a transplant from South Jersey to NC, I make sure to take the trip up there at least twice a year and always have to get a Gaetano's Cheesesteak. I even had someone bring me down Cheesesteaks and Gaetano's separated everything for them so it wouldn't go bad. Even told them the best way to heat everything up and put it together!!!",
"Ordered from here after the other two cheesesteak places we went to were closed. I'm only giving this place an extra star because the cheesesteaks are good, not great, and the staff is friendly. I almost threw up when I saw that the \"minis\" are the size of regular cheesesteaks and the 2 larges(that me and my girlfriend ordered) were not only 17\" but also $16 each. 3 cheesesteaks, cheesefries and two sodas came to $50, can't exactly refuse or return said items when they come out but that is not cool, at all. You have got to be kidding me. \n\nYou need to revamp your naming system, unless the average guest is 400 lbs. I'm 6 foot 250 pounds and I would have only needed the mini. We were not looking at a menu when we ordered, and I feel the person on the phone should have said something when my girlfriend mentioned \"for the two of us\". I feel absolutely cheated, and will never be coming back. I would have never ordered $40 worth of cheesesteaks for me, and my much smaller girlfriend and little sister.",
"For a cheesesteak/hoagie restaurant, Im giving it a 4star rating. They have the best cheesesteaks around! and great hoagies too. I have a Gaetanos right across the street from me and drive 15min to come to this Gaetanos! That should tell you something..."

"Talk about the perfect hangover meal. Freebirds when you're about to black out, chicken ranch after you've come to. It's grilled chicken and tri-tip on tortillas--prices are based on portions. I used to come here at least once a week.",
"Tasty place and they do something most restaurants try to avoid--sell small portions of single items. If you just need a small bit of tri-tip, no sandwich or sides or anything, they'll sell it to you. The inside is nice, though a little weird with all the security cameras, but the food is consistent and tasty. I don't eat meat, but every one I'm gone with has said it is a bit dry, pretty tasty, and certainly worth the money.",
"The Chicken Ranch is siiiiiiick! \n\nGo with the combo burrito. It has both chicken and tri-tip, together, bundled up in perfect harmony. \n\nThey are huge by the way, I'll usually have to finish my other half about an hour later. The beans are good, the salsa is good. You can get the meal if you like but why not just have them wrap it up for you? \n\nAuf.",
"Maybe the chicken quesadilla just isn't the dish to get. It was a beast of a meal for $5, but the meat tasted like it was stewed without any seasoning. I guess that's cool if you're a total chicken purist and not into marination and such, but I'm down with a couple dashes of the herbs and spices. Thankfully, they have a fantastic spicy salsa, and plenty of it was put into play. Still, this chicken quesadilla was totally trumped by the likes of Freebirds, Baja Fresh, et al.\n\nI've heard nothing but \"Marvelous!\" and \"First class!\" about the place, so maybe they'll get another chance next time we're feeling merciful.",
"Having lived in Isla Vista for almost two years, I oftentimes didn't let laziness get the best of me and settle for a Freebird's or Super Cuca's overpriced nonsense burrito, but actually made the 1 mile trek to Fairview Plaza for Santa Barbara's Chicken Ranch's delicious combo burrito...even with the worst of hangovers. Being that I now reside in the Silicon Valley, I have yet to discover a place up here that compares. Every time I venture to Santa Barbara, I fight the urge to appease the rumble in my tummy with In-N-Out or any of the other dozen or so fast food establishments on Highway 101 so that I can sail into Goleta and dig into a combo burrito. \n\nSimplicity and consistent quality are two aspects of this restaurant that make it one of the best in its class. If you are looking for an uppity and highly service oriented sit down establishment with intricate mexican dishes, this is not the place for you. The classic barn yard ambiance coupled with the Tex Mex feel makes it more than an appropriate sit down establishment for small to medium sized groups. Although I typically would do takeout for reasons unrelated, there were always families taking advantage of the first come first serve tables. Although the menu offers very little in the area of variety, the fact that every item breathes quality allows them to get away with this. I personally recommend the combo burrito. Being that they cook their chicken and tri-tip constantly throughout the day, I never experienced a visit where I felt as though the food had been sitting in a warming drawer all day. The fact that they melt the cheese onto the meat before wrapping it up in the tortilla provides for a flavorful mouthgasm. This is a simple, but uncommon practice that truly makes the overall taste. The fresh salsa bar allows Salsa-Addicts to load up on and unlimited supply of two varieties of their homemade salsa. I recommend the hot, as it is still bearable for a gringo like myself. In addition, the vertically cut roasted jalapenos available at the salsa bar compliment the tortilla chips that come with the burritos. \n\nIn terms of bang for your buck, you can't beat the Santa Barbara Chicken ranch for the ultimate combination of price, quality, and quantity. I have the appetite of a garbage disposal and I oftentimes would have nearly a third of my burrito leftover for a midnight snack. Being that there are multiple locations throughout the Santa Barbara area, diners can enjoy ther favorite Santa Barbara Chicken ranch dish near the beach or in the Goleta ghetto night or day! I only wish they had a location in Isla Vista!",
"Shared the tri tip burrito and the chicken burrito. yipee! yet their generic tomato salsa was lacking flavor. also were the pickled onions. i like those onions to be burning spicy. but at least they had carrots and a spicier salsa. \n\noh ya and i liked that they have sparkling water out of their soda machine.",
"I go hear at least once a week. I think they put crack in the food as this place always pops in my head when thinking where to eat for lunch. The chicken is almost always juicy and tender (unlike El Pollo Loco) and the tri tip is right on the mark in flavor. The place looks like you are in a ranch and always crowded. The service is very fast. I barely have time to get my drink and get some salsa before a guy starts calling my number. This is a solid place in an area where you do not have a ton of options.",
"I've tried the chicken and tri-tip dinner and the chicken burrito. Both were very good. The meat was cooked perfectly, the burrito was put together well. Sides ok, salsa ok. This is a step above Pollo Loco for sure.",
"Quick and easy tri-tip that will warm the cockles of your heart when the home made salsa is applied liberally. \n\nThe Chicken Ranch may not serve up legal prostitution in Santa Barbara but you will get excited for the good taste and value you receive from this popular lunch spot. Although there is some mighty fine grilled chicken offered, I go for the tri-tip. Sure it's no Texas BBQ brisket but there is also no thick and spicy sauce added with patato salad. Just grilled meat and it's juices which add great flavor and a change from the heavy. Sandwiches are available but ditch the bread and go with a 1/4 or 1/2 lb plate lunch served with pinto, rice and hot tortillas. Dump some salsa on top and you have yourself a reprieve from the drive through bland. \n\nSee you at The Ranch!",
"I usually ordered the chicken burrito special that came with corn tortilla chips. The burrito itself was always really good. It had just the right amount of seasoning. I do not remember the exact price, but I remember it was decent for the area."

"Damn good, we stumbled across them on their soft opening. We were pleasantly surprised by interior, nicer than shogun or Kobe. The food was very good and we are a bit picky.,I had calamari and the wife had the hibachi salmon. All was good, we're looking forward to coming back when they really have things figured out. There was a bit of a learning curve going on, but this was by far the best soft opening we've been to.",
"Pretty darn good Sushi restaurant.\nVery clean and new\nFood was excellent and very tasty.\nWaiter and host were very friendly and attentive to our needs. Drinks were always kept full. \nThe food presentation was beautiful, they use real flowers to decorate your order.",
"Great Japanese Hibachi place in Arnold . We were seated right away asked about Shellfish allergy and ordering off of regular menu are server Gloria was fast to explain everything and took my shellfish allergy to the Cook Thank You Gloria for making sure .Drinks filled pretty good .The Hibachi food was Excellent the Steak of the Chain melt in your mouth swordfish really good to you get A Lot OF FOOD AND IT IS DELICIOUS !!!! All in all you must try this place !!!!!",
"We had a wonderful time watching our hibachi cook entertain the table and enjoyed some tasty food. We ordered a crunchy roll for appetizer and then we both had a Bento Box. I had the General Tso Bento Box- great value! Includes California roll, shrimp and veggie tempura, spring roll, and then the chicken and steamed rice. \nI do wish the sushi had a bit more flavor- in the Crunchy and California roll the crab should be a crab salad and not just a piece of crab, this would give it much better flavor. All the other food was very tasty though. \nWe will be returning!",
"I had the California Roll and hibachi chicken dinner which comes miso soup and salad. I tried the house ginger dressing. It look like puréed vegetable and was very tasty without all the fat. The miso soup was typical miso, but not too salty. Hibachi chicken was cooked perfectly and had a good flavor. It came with shrimp appetizer, fried rice, noodle and vegetable. They were great as well, not over cooked or under cooked. It came with 2 delicious sauces. The service was excellent, very kind,speedy, cleared table, refilled beverages,extra. I went to the gym after I had this meal and never left so good and had so much energy.",
"Amazing place. Everything from the food to the service to the presentation. Highly recommend trying this place out. Also lunch specials offer an amazing deal.",
"Wow! We came for a friends birthday and we were not disappointed! \n\nThere were 8 of us and we were seated around a hibachi grill promptly. We did make reservations to ensure we wouldn't have to wait forever for a spot. The waitress came over and took out drink and food orders quickly. \n\nI ordered the Chicken Hibachi. The soup and salad came out first and both were delicious. The salad had a gingery dressing and the soup tasted great. After maybe 10 minutes the hibachi chef came to the grill and started cooking. The show was excellent, his personal touch made this entire dining experience an easy 5 star. The food was delicious, and very plentiful. The noodles and fried rice were cooked perfectly, as was the chicken and veggies. The chef also gave us Sake shots while he cooked!\n\nThe prices were very reasonable, the food was excellent, and the staff were incredible. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I will absolutely be back!",
"We came here on a Saturday night, and we were blown away! The food was all amazing, and the prices are very reasonable. We ate at the hibachi grill, and our chef, Jay, was unbelievable. He was very funny, and he cooked everything to perfection. If the food isn't enough for you, the service will keep you coming back. We will definitely be back!",
"Great sushi, Prices are good. Definitely the best sushi in the area- sorry Fuji, I found my new local joint! Favorite rolls (so far): St. Louis roll, and Spider-Man roll. They said the volcano roll was the most popular but we wouldn't order it again. Only complaint I have is the service could be better/more attentive. Had to ask for another drink, a to go box, and our check. Will definitely be back based on food quality.",
"Great decor, presentation and service.\n\nMy husband ordered a salmon roll, philly roll, crunch roll and Godzilla roll. Above average filling to rice ratio, beautifully presented.\n\nOur son ordered chicken and fries. Great fries, he seemed to like the chicken, too. \n\nI got the Land and Sea (surf and turf). A ~4 oz filet mignon, perfectly seared on top and medium rare inside. Maine lobster tail cut into bite-sized pieces and seared. The mixed veg underneath (peppers, pea pods and asparagus) were in the most amazing sauce!!! I never used the two sauces served on the side of the dish. \n\nI selected the House cab, no prices for house or premium on the menu. Wine was decent. $25 for the House, who knows how much for the top shelf?\n\nSomeone near us ordered the Sashimi Deluxe which was presented in the most gorgeous!!! arrangement. We also watched a bit of the hibachi performance, impressive and entertaining.\n\nThe server did more European service, slow and spaced out. No complaints from us. The manager was a sweet lady who checked on us twice and appeared very eager to hear our thoughts on particular parts of our meal.\n\nWe plan on going back soon."

"Let me first say I love Dunkin Donuts Coffee in general. Frustrating because this location was Dunkins \"big re-entry\" into the Nashville market with their new branding. Its just hard to get decent labor for anywhere in Cool Springs since most high school kids dont work in this area. If you ever want to show a child a lesson about why you should always count your change, take them to this Dunkin Donuts.",
"So I came here once a few months ago with my girlfriends and I wasn't really impressed. I didn't however eat any doughnuts, which still surprises even me. I had one of their breakfast sandwiches and not only was it extremely greasy and nasty, it tasted horrible. I did however like their little hashbrown bites. \n\nWe decided to wash down our breakfast with the Baskin Robbins ice cream located inside the location. This again, wasn't amazing. It was all very cheap, though. Always a plus.\n\nThey'd didn't have everything on the menu either. Next time I'll opt for something like Cracker Barrel.",
"Wow. Love the evening black coffee special! I expected to pay $1.79 for my medium coffee. It was on special for $1.08! I had to do a U-turn after I left to go get one for my husband!",
"I love Dunkin Donuts coffee so much. I have a terrible time passing up a store because you NEVER know when you'll be in Alabama or another place that doesn't have DD! I travel for work and can tell you the exits off of 65, 40 and 24 where you can get a DD fix in TN, KY and IN. \n\nThat being said....I probably go to this particular DD the most because it's near my gym and I used to live in the Cool Springs area...but it's not my favorite DD. The staff is not very friendly and I've had to repeat my order of \"A medium coffee with a shot of cinnamon and whole milk\" several times before they get it. \n\nCome on folks, you're working with coffee AND you also get to be around ice cream (this store shares space with Baskin Robbins)...that's not a bad gig! Be happy!",
"having grown up in Boston/New england area, Dunkin donuts is the regular place to get your coffee... \n\nhaving said that....\n\nthis particular store is nice, they keep it clean, for the most part.\n\nmy biggest complaint is that my coffee is never made the same... ever.\n\nsometimes it's amazing, and sometimes i feel like i'm drinking burnt fuel with sugar. it's really sad when you're heading to work at 5 in the morning, and really just want a good cup of coffee... and get grossness...\n\nthe donuts are always good. but you have to get there early, due to the fact that they rarely keep replenishment going... i went at 2 pm one weekday, and well my options were 1 muffin, and 5 different donuts. it's sad, because they are really good. my favorite is the Boston Kreme... no surprise there. \n\ni do recommend this place, just because they are very helpful in their customer service. if you have bad coffee, and have the time for them to fix it, they will.\n\ntheir ice cream cakes are awesome... and you can get customized cakes, very easily. they run specials too.",
"Best service and best coffee!\n\nAlways greeted with a smile and a hello. Coffee is always fresh, donuts are always fresh as well. I come here a lot to buy for my offices and I always have the most pleasant experience!!",
"There is a drive through and cozy sitting lounge. After coffee you can have an ice cream at Baskins Robbins that is in store too!!",
"Eek! Me DEFINITELY thinks not.\n\nThe service was friendly enough, don't get me wrong. They had a sweet southern charm that I appreciated.\n\nThe fact is, the food was SO SO bad!!!\n\nMy family and I were staying right across the parking lot at the Hilton, and we didn't want to pay $10 per person for the buffet, and we needed something quick. So we figured dunkin donuts would have what we needed.\n\nNot.\nSo.\nMuch.\n\nI got their egg white/turkey sausage flatbread sandwich and a chocolate donut and some hash browns. My husband got a breakfast wrap, and the kids got donuts and my daughter also got a bagel.\n\nThe \"wrap\" that my husband got was the size of his finger and barely edible. My flatbread didn't taste like anything--no flavor to it whatsoever. The actual bread was stale and hard :( And the hasbrowns-BLECH!!! They were wibbly and overseasoned. So disgusting.\n\nThey also forgot cream cheese for my daughter's bagel, so my husband had to go back.\n\nNever again.",
"This is a sad excuse for any kind of restaurant, especially a donut shop. Twice this year we've come when they've been out of donuts. If you have the word donut in your name and you run out in the middle of the breakfast rush, there's a problem. In addition, the other options are horrible. Breakfast sandwiches have often been cold. Bagels often too tough to eat. There's really just nothing worth experiencing here.",
"Proof positive that with a good brand and the right location any business can stay open.\n\nFirst time we stopped in here was at an off time between rushes. We were literally ignored by two employees standing ten feet away. They were talking while one was sweeping, we stood at the case and may as well have been invisible. We left.\n\nAgainst better judgment we went back recently, this time it was fairly busy. The employee acted like she was doing us a favor to take the order, snarky and rude, well beyond typical retail angst.\n\nNever another dime. How these franchisees conned Dunkin into giving them this location would be a fascinating story."

"We started our Saturday evening in Gulfport at the former Spinnakers, now Manatees on the Bay, watching a quick storm pass from their rooftop bar, and ended our night here as well. They've recently changed names, however I'm not sure if ownership/management has also changed.\n\nBefore we even walked inside, we were greeted by a friendly lady, who answered our questions about the GeckoCrawl. Even though tickets were sold out, we walked up to the bar in the lobby and ordered drinks. As usual, I inquired about any specials, and was delighted to learn they offer $3 well drinks ALL THE TIME. After we paid for our first round, we headed up the spiral staircase to the rooftop. Because it was raining, we easily found a table overlooking the street below, Boca Ciega Bay, and beyond. The rain passed within a few minutes & we enjoyed a beautiful rainbow over the Williams Fishing Pier. \n\nRooftop table service was friendly & attentive, as was bar service up here. When we returned later in the evening, we were able to enjoy some excellent live music on the roof. I also noted that separate music is performed inside downstairs. As we were leaving, down an outside staircase, I noticed a few tables in a more intimate courtyard area right off the street... looked like a cozy & quiet date-night dining area. We didn't try any food here, though, so I can't comment on their menu.\n\nA grand opening is planned for September 2, 2016, and includes a free buffet & free champagne; the flyer we were given did not note a time frame. Since that's Labor Day Weekend, I'm not sure we can make that event. But because the atmosphere is so festive and beachy-casual throughout, we'll definitely return soon for the view, drinks & fun, and to try their new menu.",
"The only good part was the view which was beautiful. Sadly, the food was absolutely horrible. My boyfriend and I both wanted fish and chips and picked this place because it is on the menu. That ended up being a bad decision. The fish had no taste and the breading was gritty like it had been dragged through the sand. We were both very disappointed and agreed our frozen fish sticks at home tasted better than the food we were served here. Our waiter was also running the bar and made it seem like the place was understaffed since he had to do so much.",
"My wife and I had dinner here for the first time this evening and really enjoyed the place.\n\nThe food was great, the staff incredibly friendly and what we liked most was the various choices of ambience you had in the restaurant.\n\nIf you wanted piano music, you could dine downstairs or enjoy drinks at their bar. For more contemporary music and a great view of the waterfront, the roof top was a great option as well.\n\nDefinitely looking forward to future visits.",
"My husband and I moved to Gulfport this summer and really enjoy this little beach town. Manatee's is under new ownership and we've already seen some amazing changes in service and good quality. The Ahi tuna is top quality, sweet potatoes fries delicious and the burger is definitely the best in town. We like roof top the best right now because of the view and our fur-babies are welcome. There's a large bar, high-tops and various table sizes for larger groups. Live music Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Awesome place to watch football with new TVS and sound system. Tuesday is Trivia Night, Wednesday Bingo and Thursday is something that I can't remember- lol! Also, drink and food specials everyday. \n\nDownstairs has a piano bar on weekends and Nicola is quite the charmer. \n\nThis location has been through so many changes is the past 2years, but the new owners are putting their heart and soul into it and we love it!",
"This place was alright. A little warm outside, but a nice place to relax and have a drink with family.\n\nAlso, not sure how you can order an ice tea and be out.... but then can serve me a long-island ice tea.... odd... \n\nThanks for keeping me on my toes!",
"Really loud, filled with drunks. Food awful. New owners are Texas hillbillies.....lots of TX memorabilia. Someone needs to tell them they're in FL now. They destroyed the piano bar concept downstairs and replaced it with more bar area.",
"5 star now after great St Pattys day with Passafire lead singer Ted Bowne playing all day! If owner was smart he would make this white boy reggae bar and invite live artists! Great new space - walls have been blown out and it's the best open air bar in Gulfport on the water! Owners obsession with playing crap on the jukebox overriding paying customers is annoying. 2 levels - touchtunes - great sunset in the upstairs bar gives you view of all Boca Ciega bay and St Pete Beach! Friendly staff - overall Still a work in progress",
"Open-air bar perfect for grabbing happy hour with friends. Budget drafts and wells for the area. The \"walls\" are usually rolled up; sit at the bar or sit facing the water. Right in the heart of Gulfport, perfect for stopping by on an afternoon tour\n\nExtremely budget happy hour prices! 11am -7pm everyday. $2 Landshark and Shock Top drafts. $2.50 dom bottles. $3 wells.\n\n10-15 minutes from downtown St. Pete.",
"One star for location. The service sucks, the drinks are horrible, and it was very uninviting! Waited 10 minutes after sitting down before a server came over to our dirty table. Set the menus down in previous customers' mess all over the table. Had to ask two different people to wipe table off. Drinks delivered and set down on dirty table. What a joke. Ordered a mai tai and rum runner. Got sour mix and rum for the mai tai and coconut rum and punch for the rum runner, and set them down with no coaster or napkin, dripping and melting all over. When we asked for the bill, she just yelled out, \"Umm, $20.\". Are you kidding me? In Gulfport, $10 per crappy drink? No way! Never going back!",
"I like this place. Especially the new downstairs open air bar. The food is good and the people friendly. I only gave it 3 stars because as constructive criticism I believe they need more help. I've been there on more than one occasion when people have gotten up and left because no one gave any attention to them. That's the only thing lacking. Otherwise a great little place and I hope they make it!"

"This small family owned and operated restaurant is a true gem! Made to order pizzas and pasta are authentic and delicious. Servings are generous and you will leave full, happy and wanting to return as soon as possible! Remember to BYOB!\n\nAs an added bonus- CasaMari still serves Jimmies ice cream and has added gelato to the already impressive ice cream selection. There's even a take out window thats perfect for anytime you need a sweet treat! Stop by after baseball practice, for after school snacks, or for a pit stop on your way down the shore :)",
"The person who gave this place 5 stars either has a stock in the company or has the palette of a donkey.\n\nThe misses is particularly fond of Italian and had been begging to try this place so we went one night to see how it measured up. *whomp whomp* This restaurant underwhelmed in every way possible. I can't even remember what I ordered, I just remembered that it wasn't good and the service was slow. Casa Mari makes The Olive Garden look like Mario Batalis.",
"Went to a group retirement luncheon today. The food, as usual, was very good. The service was not good from the kitchen. I talked to the owner about the uneven serving times for our party of 15. He rationally explained unusual circumstances and adjusted our group bill accordingly. With honesty and integrity, the owner handled a minor complaint with skill and sincerity. Because of that, I would continue to strongly recommend Casamari as a great dining destination.",
"Great italian food at affordable prices and the have awesome gelato. They deliver too! They have a very clean kitchen, the owner invited me to take a look, really nice people and hard working.",
"I gave this 4 stars for their lunch menu - they are fast, have lots of choices at reasonable prices and great flavor. The dinners are a little bland, especially when compared to some of the great Italian restaurants here in NJ.",
"We just had a private party for a christening with about 50 people and everything was great. I could not of been better!",
"The chicken parm is very good and on Sunday is only $10. Dinners are served with a small small starter salad and tasty bread. I have been here about a dozen times and have never had a bad meal. \n\nIf you're not full after your entree try some of the tasty homemade gelato.",
"Very clean nice restaurant. Did lunch on a saturday. Gelato bar looked great but did not partake. Three of us had a panini, sausage sandwich, meatball sandwich. Panini was broiled, not grilled. That actually made it good. Pesto sauce very nice but oily. Meatballs were bland and despite great bread, not worth a repeat. Sausage was no better. Ended up making a half sandwich out of the skimpy whole. The sausage had little flavor and was dry and overcooked. The bread was the highlight and that was outsourced! I went here after smelling their pizza entering a business for delivery. Wish i tried the pizza.",
"When here late one evening and have gelato it was so good, not a lot of flavors though. The ice cream selection was fair. I would definitely go back again. I had a hazelnut flavor and I savored every spoonful.",
"Good food and decent service. I usually go for the pasta alla vodka with chicken. Better than most chain places."

"Very fast and good quality ingredients. This is the only location I've gone to, but it's consistently good and the staff are friendly and fun.",
"I gotta agree with the other yelpers on this one. The bread is amazing. The hunter sandwich is awesome! Also, I love their salt and vin chips. Thick, salty, tangy, and amazing.",
"I don't know what I'd do without Jimmy Johns and their amazing delivery! \n\nWhen I am working in my Tucson office, I am so focused on work that I completely forget about lunch. That's when I hop online and order Jimmy Johns. \n\nI love that I can log into my account and it already knows how I like my sandwiches and what sides I want. I can schedule delivery for later in the day, or get it immediately. And man, are they fast! I feel like within 10 minutes of placing an order, the receptionist is calling me to tell me I have a delivery. \n\nJimmy Johns is my go-to lunch option in Tucson when I can't leave my building.",
"Staff is excellent and service is quick, but their sandwiches are not as heavenly as I remember. I used to dream about and crave the Vito, their Italian sandwich.\n\nToday, I got the Vito, and it was huge - $4.75 for an 8\" sandwich. I only ate half, so the price is definitely right. The bread roll is fresh. I think what was amiss was the Italian dressing. Honestly, that is probably what makes the sandwich great. Might as well eat the dressing plain, right? Pretty good meal though.",
"I went to the Jimmy John's on Swan Road for the first time. The staff were friendly, the place was clean. I ordered the 8\" Roast Beef sub. When I got back to the office, I looked inside - it had 2 pieces of thinly sliced roast beef! I called, spoke to whomever answered the phone and told them they had lost my business based on this. They did not ask for my name. He just said \"What can I do for you?\" Remarkable.",
"I order from them a few times a week. They deliver so quick. Usually 10-15 minutes after my online order, I am taking a bite of my sub. I would highly suggest them, especially if you are very busy at work and just need some quick food. Tastes great too!",
"I have only gone to the oracle location and one in Minnesota but Jimmy Johns is awesome. Great sandwiches with delicious quality meat on them. I love their jj gargantuan sub. Lots of meat...awesome.",
"I eat here atleast once a week. I love the beach club!! Fresh turkey,avocado,sprouts and cheese. Never soggy! I swear they're making the sandwich as I'm ordering it over the phone because its never taken more than ten minutes to get my delivery!! Love love love this place! Plus their salt and vinegar chips are fantastic!!",
"Subs so fast I freak!\n\nJimmy John's is the bomb!\n\nQuick food, quality ingredients, grey poupon, helmans mayo, delicous peppers, crusty bread, and a consistently tasty experience.\n\nThe service is always good and staff friendly.\n\nMy only complaint is sometimes they go so fast I have to have them fix things they missed in making mine.\n\nQuick, consistent, tasty, and fun sums jimmy johns up nicely",
"Excellent choice of sandwiches with a menu to match your appetite. Feeling hungry? Try the JJ Gargantuan with hot peppers and BBQ chips. Feeling carb-conscience? Try any sandwich as an \"unwich\"!"

"Just want Wells Avenue needs a real coffee shop! \n\nYes, this is the old Dandelion Deli & Catering location; the owners retired and Walden's Coffeehouse has set up their second location in its place. \n\nI just stopped in for coffee as it is located across the street from where I get my mani! \n\nThe place is clean and airy. The staff is friend. Nice menu-- eggs, bagels, pancakes, coffee,oatmeal, paninis, deli sandwiches, salads, etc. + you can place orders online on their website. \n\nThey are still getting set up. The place is kid friendly but they don't have the kid's toys yet! They're working on it. \n\nIt's a nice addition to the Wells area. I hope they do well. I will be back next month with I get my next mani!",
"Excellent food, great value and friendly people. Easy access and plenty of top to park. Definitely worth stopping in.",
"I really didn't want to like this place so much, as I really loved Anthony & Dandelion Deli. They were a staple of my neighborhood for 25 years, & served good food made with lots of love. \n\nI said I didn't want to like this place so much, but I REALLY do! It is right across the street from my nail spa & I have to hold myself back from going in every single day!\n\nI had the Chanini & it blew my mind! Geez Louise! So stinkin' yummy, I ate the entire thing! (and I can't eat that much at once) \nYou definitely get enough food for your money!\n\nI went back a few days later & had their scrabled egg sandwich. AGAIN- super delicious!\n\nThe owners are so nice & have jazzed up the place nicely. I'm going back again today to try something new!\nWelcome to the Wells Neighborhood, Walden's!",
"I'm very happy to have Walden's in the neighborhood! I was looking for a place that I could sit and grade exams and do research that gets me out of the house on the days I'm sometimes stranded at home (I share a car with my boyfriend). This is perfect. I love their Chai Latte and my boyfriend was singing the praises of their cheeseburger. I will most definitely be a regular!",
"Great location, very friendly staff. Feels just like family. \nPortion size is great for the price and the food is consistent and outstanding.",
"Best Chai around and coffee. Love the breakfast burritos, fluffy pancakes and bacon. This is a must try in the midtown area. When you are in a rush and don't want to wait for coffee, they have a coffee bar just toss your cash in the coffee jar.",
"Love the food and atmosphere but..... the two times I've been there for lunch it took over 15 minutes to get my food. Maybe they still need to workout some of the kinks for the weekday lunch crowd.",
"Go! My family of four, husband, kids (5 & 7 years), and myself ate well! The Manzo panini (ribeye, arugula, havarti cheese, crispy onions, and Rosemary aioli) was delicious and very filling (consider sharing or getting half with a cup of soup). My son had the grilled chicken, veggies, and fruit. He loved the chicken, I loved the veggies, and the bunch of grapes and slice of orange was just his size. My daughter wasn't so sure about anything on the menu, but she ended up choosing the quesadilla. Her face when she saw a green tortilla made me think I had chosen the wrong place to eat, but a little \"Green Eggs and Ham\" build up and she gave it a try. She loved it! It's a simple Colby jack cheese and spinach tortilla quesadilla served with fruit, but she was happy and so was I. Everyone was friendly, service was quick at 11:15am on a Saturday when we went. The coffee my husband got was free from the Yelp offer, and was decent (his words - he's a Starbucks junkie). I loved the iced vanilla chai, just was I wanted. My kids both asked to go back whenever we're back in Reno. Enjoy!",
"Delicious breakfast and coffee! My veggie frittata with added bacon was to die for. The amount of veggies was much more generous than most places. We also tried the rise and shine wrap that was good, but the frittata was the star. I also had an almond milk mocha that was great. Highly recommend!! Great atmosphere, service was fast!",
"My favorite is the coffee and the ambiance. I used to study here a lot in college, but recently they became a breakfast and late lunch coffeeshop. They are a full service restaurant with sandwiches, salads, hamburgers and breakfast. They serve specialty coffee and smoothies. Drip coffee is ogfered as well. If you're on the go just drop some cash in the jar and make a coffee to go. A convenient place with the bests salads. They have outdoor seating and in the winter I like to have breakfast out there when its not snowing."

"Wait it out. They still need a lot of work at this new location. Plenty of seats available on a Wednesday night but had a wait because kitchen wasn't prepared.",
"I went here on opening night, my son's girlfriend stood in line and got a year supply of boneless wings. Tried the food and it was great. Tasted just as good as the US19/Drew location. Love the drinks, atmosphere was great!",
"The food was great. But it took FOREVER to get to the table. Good location and it was really busy.",
"Food was good. We had about 4 or 5 different flavored (Blazin, Medium, Mango/Habanero, Parm/Garlic, and teriyaki) wings and they were all great! We also tried their little deep fried corn dogs and they were awesome. They came with a honey mustard sauce and I couldn't stop eating them! They also had a special buffalo cheese dip that came with tortilla chips that was just okay.\n\nThe wait wasn't too bad since we got there at a decent time ahead of the dinner crowd, but it was packed! The server mixed up the beers when ordering but made it right. Mixed drinks tasted like they didn't have any booze. Drink specials were still pricey. \n\nThey do have a ton of TV's for your sports viewing pleasure.",
"I wanted to give (5) stars to kind of even out the poor reviews here, as I just do not see what the issue is. I gave (4) stars as I have only sat at the bar and never on the floor (restaurant seating) so I am not able to comment on floor service and attitude. Fortunately for everyone, including Buffalo WW....some of these poor reviews were filtered by Yelps servers, and rightly so - read more here: \n\nhttp://officialblog.yelp.com/2009/10/why-yelp-has-a-review-filter.html\n\n\nThis is a new location and a few reviews knocked this place on opening day - OPENING DAY!!!! Of course they are going to have issues on opening day. Corporate trainers were on site, working out kinks, you have 80 percent of the staff who have never worked in food service learning how things needed to go as per Buffalo Wild Wings standards.\n\nI visited on day two...sat at the bar and had the best service and food in a long time. The bartenders, Jenn R. and Crystal are professional, friendly, and did/do a great job.\n\nI have come back here 5 more times just because of the great service and food here. Hopefully, some of these Yelpers will ethically edit their reviews or update them with new results. To bash a new construction restaurant on opening day/night is not only in poor taste, its just not right....and Yelpers should know that. I respect all Yelpers comments as these people at least take the time to review and experience new places, but sometimes I'll need to call them out....did it before and I'll do it here. \n\nI've given bad reviews of a place, the owner has read it, messaged me direct asking me to come back after changes were made....I did so, and updated my reviews. That's what its all about. In the internet age, businesses can't afford to shun customers, our reach is far and wide now with the ability to hurt/destroy a businesses credibility and possibly cause them to close....rare but it could happen. \n\nWith hundreds of thousands of people having access to people's gripes about a store/restaurant, Yelpers need to be wise how they post. Trashing a location when its really just an issue of not getting a lemon in your tea is irresponsible....\n\nYELP ON !!!!!",
"I sat at the bar and ordered some appetizers. The bartender was very nice. There were a ton of big TVs, although the decor is kind of tacky. The boneless wings I had were dry and unflavorful. The potato wedges were good, but the buffalo sauce, not so much.",
"I have been to two other BWW's in the past and although I didn't think the food was spectacular, I did like it. I was quite happy when this location was opening so much closer to my house.\n\nThe food was disappointing. Especially for the prices. Adults had a sampler platter and a burger, kids had mac n cheese and nuggets. Most disappointing were the boneless wings. Lots of breading, not much chicken. Burger nothing to write home about I thought but the wife did not like it and refused to finish it. Kids ate it as a snack later without issue. Mac and cheese looked like it was a Kraft instant cup, literally. \n\nI did find the mozzarella sticks to be the hands down winner of all the food at the table. Even if they were frozen, they were great.\n\nI was really hoping to add a nice, clean sports bar to stay and spend 3+ hours at watching football, but I can't spend that kind of money to get food of that quality. Especially when my bill showed $5 for a pint of Coors Light. Not the big glass, not a microbrew, a pint of Coors. It is a nice, clean sports bar though.\n\nI will give it another try one day, but I'm in no hurry to get there.",
"Will never go back. Our second time. We wanted to make sure we did not make a mistake the first time. The food was ok but not super. The service was good. That said the prices were horrible. Much more than similar restaurants. They also nickel and dime you to death. When I wanted to exchange the chips and salser for a different item, there was a large up- charge. I kept the chips and salser and when I ran out of the sauce, they wanted to up-charge for a refill. High prices, nickel and dime you. NO WAY!!!",
"Waited about a month after they opened to check the place out. I live in Largo, always looking for new places, been to almost all other places within 30 miles. Initial impression was very nice clean place, a lot of TV's. Also has outdoor seating for smokers and TV trivia game. \n\nWent at happy hour about 4:00, expecting some kind of specials. Two of us had a few domestic beers (6 total), chips/dip and a few wings - was surprised when bill came out to over $40. Asked about HH prices, and was told the cheap domestic beers are about $4, not much of a deal for Bud. Started looking at menu and realized they were charging about $1 for each chicken wing, and they weren't that good. Heard others complaining about the hamburgers. I've been back a few other times, once for football with my grown kids, thinking that they would have some kind of specials going like most other places, but no. \n\nMany places close to BWW have free chips and dip and there is more than one place that has .35 wings and dollar beers or $5 pitchers.\n\nAfter the first month rush, I don't see many people there. Have gone in around 5:00 and saw maybe 10 people there with 25 servers running around. The bartenders are mixed, some better than others. \n\nI am not cheap, eat and drink out a lot, and know a good/bad deal when I see one.\nMy guess is they are trying to do business here like it is done up north or in high tourist area like Orlando, this area is neither. I am being kind giving it two stars.",
"This location has consistently delivered for me. First off, I despise the wings at Hooters and Wing House - I appreciate the outfits as much as the next guy, but the chicken wings are simply too greasy to enjoy anything else. BWWs has the best sauces and rubs by a long shot and I appreciate the ability to mix and match your order. On Super Bowl Sunday these guys were able to handle plenty of orders and had a great process in place to ensure everyone got what they ordered and it was ready in a timely manner.\n\nIf wings are your priority, then this is the place to go."

"Bratz Y'all is sehr lecker! \n\nAs I write this it's opening weekend for them and I think they're a great addition to the neighborhood. The restaurant looks like a nice beer garden, with tables both inside and out and lovely plants hanging around. You order at the counter inside and they bring your food out to the table. They have all of the great Germanic meat favorites - currywurst and schnitzel and bratwursts galore. And of course, an extensive German beer & liqueurs menu to complement your meal.\n\nFor starters we had a cheese pretzel and opted to get the horseradish herb dip to accompany it. I thought the dip was a little light on the horse, heavy on the radish so if you're looking for something that's clean and bright tasting without much of a kick than this is the thing for you. \n\nFor the main course I got the king brat sandwich - smoked pork sausage stuffed with white cheddar, wrapped in bacon, and topped with apricot-chili sauce and crispy onions, all nestled in a Leidenheimer bun. It. Was. So. Good. The sausage had a nice snap to it and the flavors overall worked really well with each other. It wasn't spicy at all even though the sauce had chilis in it, those gave more of a gentle heat to the overall dish. My friend got the neurnburger sandwich and raved about it - the sausage itself is twice as long as the bun it comes on (which looks a little funny, I'll admit, and of course a joke or two was made about it because even though we're grownups we were also once twelve years old) and is nearly drowned in sauerkraut and caramelized onions. \n\nWe got a slice of apple strudel for dessert, and while it was also as delicious as anything else we'd eaten, I felt like it could have been a little cheaper for the size of the piece we got. But it was also the best apple strudel I've had in New Orleans, ever, so I won't complain THAT much about the price. \n\nOverall, definitely an enjoyable meal and I look forward to working my way down the menu. I've had wurst ideas",
"I checked this place out for their opening weekend. It will be a cool place to enjoy a German style beer garden. The main food options are almost totally pork based with even the no-pork options seeming to be stuffed with some kind of sausage or pork item. I am disappointed they only had a pork schnitzel as I love some veal, chicken, beef and venison schnitzel. They have some appetizer snacks like pretzels and such and actually had a small but decent dessert menu. Overall this should be a good addition to the neighborhood but I really hope they expand the schnitzel offerings for those of us that don't eat that pig meat.\n\n*Update: they have added chicken schnitzel.",
"Food is phenomenal, love the pretzels, and I could bathe in the obatzda dip... Brie and Caraway? Take all my money now. Relaxed setting, great outdoor area and lots of good German brew. Can't go wrong with this one!",
"This is such a great addition to the city. I have loved their food ever since I first discovered them at Feret St and am so glad they now have a place to go to where we can get a great sausage not to mention a saurkraut like I've never tasted!. Gotta try it!!! Love the location too!",
"Currywurst and a 1 liter stein of Hof Brau? Sign me up. It's about time we had a biergarten serving German food in Nola! The sausages are on point and the beer and wine selection fills a rare culinary void in Nola.\n\nWill be interested to see if they ever bring a polka band to play in the outdoor space.",
"Food is fantastic. Cute set up, too. Patio tables with umbrellas, lights and plants hanging, good music playing. Salted pretzels on a stand. \n\nSchnitzel comes with lemon, just like in Germany. Potato salad with dill. Cabbage with anise and vinegar. A+\n\nFar too many kids for my liking but they're tolerable in an outdoor setting.",
"Dropping a client off at Bratz is how I found out about them. I couldn't wait to stop back by on my own time and try them out. Man how I wanted to love this place!!!\nAlright let's go. Decor is German inspired. They have some indoor seating but, the majority is outdoors. Biergarten feel. They have a bike rack, just fyi.\nThey have a few German liquors and beers, bottle and tap. I'm not a beer drinker but, I posted some photos. I did try the Kuemmerling shot though. If you like jager give it a go. It has some similar notes. There is a bite that hits you at the end and can linger. A couple sips of water or other and you're good. lol\nI ordered the Nuernberger. I was so excited. I knew what I wanted before I got there. It was a disappointment though. It wasn't hot, room temperature and I don't know just nothing to brag about.\nMy biggest gripe was the cashier. Don't get me wrong she was nice but, a little more training may be in order. A customer asked how to pronounce something on the menu. She proceeded to say \"I don't know. Blah blahzay\" and some weird gurgulling noise. Offensive much???? If you're German inspired respect the culture. Train your people properly. How to read the menu should be basics 101. Who knows the background of someone standing in line. Smh.\nFyi. If dogs aren't your thing or other people's dogs while eating, eat inside. Lol some people let them roam free.\nI love schnitzel so I may give Bratz another shot but, I'm in no rush.",
"I lived in Germany for some time, and I often miss the food. Bratz Y'all was the perfect remedy for that! The only thing that would have made my experience feel more authentically German would have been ordering auf Deutsch and being back around the German language.\n\nThe beer is not as cheap as in Germany (a girl can dream), but average prices for New Orleans. When you consider that these beers are imported, they are super inexpensive! You can even buy a Mass, which is a whole Liter of beer, a Bavarian specialty. I was particularly excited about seeing Reissdorf Koelsch on the menu, because I lived in Cologne for a bit, and I rarely see that particular brand here!\n\nI ordered the kid's meal of pork sausage in a bun and fries because I wasn't very hungry, and it hit the spot along with a piece of my friend's epic pretzel. Everything was fresh, well made, and authentic! Including the curry ketchup on the table and selection of Schnapps available. The service was great and fast, especially considering the long line that was forming.\n\nThis review would be five stars on its own, but the thing that really made me excited was the fact that they had SPAGHETTI EIS! Every German child's (and possibly adult's) favorite dessert! It's vanilla ice cream shaped like spaghetti, strawberries, and white chocolate shavings on top. Such a fun treat that made me realize a German person must be in charge of the place. \n\nPro tip: Order Spaghetti Eis like a true German by pronouncing it \"Shpaghetti Ice\".\n\nMy only wish is that there was a way to get Schnitzel without egg wash here, because I am allergic to eggs.",
"This is definitely my go-to spot for German cuisine in New Orleans for now and forever. I had the 'King Brat' along with a Pretzel with a special cheese dip they make. I also sampled some of my friends Sauerkraut and Mashed Potatoes. All hit the spot just right. I was particularly impressed with the hint of sweetness and texture of the Sauerkraut, I have never been a Sauerkraut person, but here I love it. The service staff were very friendly and accommodating. Next time, I may even have to bring my dog. I will certainly be making more trips here in the future and recommending it to out of town visitors and friends.",
"Their sausages are terrific, especially the drunk pig which, despite its name, is a sophisticated dish (the pork is marinated for a long time in an unusual mixture of herbs and beer), but also the Nurenberger, etc. You can eat inside or outside, but these days, the outside tables are hard to resist. Prices are very reasonable, and the glasses of wine are generous (I'm not a beer drinker). I highly recommend."

"They opened just a week ago and I stopped in for lunch and had Honey BBQ wings. WIngs were nice and big and sauce was delicious. I was very impressed with the decor of this newly opened place. Large projection screens adorn the walls and they have several big and comfy booths. If I lived closer I would be here every Sunday for NFL games. I will be going back this weekend to try some additional menu items and maybe an adult beverage.",
"Very cool place not yet discovered. Solid wings, plenty of large screen tv's, excellent service and clean. All in all, I would recommend to others.",
"Went to Buckets on the back of the 4 meals and 4 beers for $22 deal Groupon that was posted on Sunday. First off I'll list the good since most people don't read the entire review anyway! The projection screens are huge and you can watch sporting events from anywhere in the place. The images are clean and clear as well which is nice. GREAT JOB on installing them. The place is very large, much bigger than I had expected and it shouldn't be elbow to elbow even on busy nights or afternoons.\nFood: The food was your basic bar and grill fare as far as options go. My parents who tagged along as we needed four people to complete the groupon deal, enjoyed their Cheddar Burger (mother) and Shrimp Basket (father). They really piled on a ton of shrimp in the basket and the tails were already off which he enjoyed. I tried a few of them and they tasted like what you'd expect a fried shrimp to taste like. Speaking of the cheddar burger, which both my mother and i had, it was a healthy sized half pound patty that was nicely seasoned and very juicy. I was worried that the \"cheddar\" burger would actually just have a piece of american cheese on it but it did indeed actually have a piece of cheddar that you could taste the sharpness in. Very well done on your burger sir. My fiancee had the philly steak. Yes, I realize it's nearly impossible to replicate the philly you get up in PA but this wasn't offensive and was better than some of the other places you can get one. Nice size. You could also tell the fries were cooked in fresh oil.\nBEER: Nice selection of beers on tap. My gripe here is that there's no list offhand to look at, so unless you want to make your waitress recite the list over and over each time you consider a new beer, you're gonna have to get up and head to the bar to see what's on tap. As the groupon was for draft beers I didn't ask if they had a bottle selection or not so I can't speak on that end. They do have Jai Alai, Dogfish head, and Magic Hat on tap plus all the regular stuff and I'm sure a few others.\nSERVICE: The service kinda ebbed and flowed. There's no sign that says to seat yourself so we stood at the entrance for a few minutes and nobody acknowledged us so we went and grabbed a booth. We sat there for another 15 minutes before anyone stopped by to take our drink orders. Once that was done the service was very efficient (perhaps they just hadn't noticed us?) until the end of the meal. A gentleman, who I assume might be the owner, stopped by to ask us how everything was which is always a nice touch to see concern for a budding business. It did take awhile for us to get our bill though at the end, so like I said, the service kinda ebbed and flowed throughout the evening.\nFINAL THOUGHTS: All in all, we'll go back there as I'd like to try their wings as well and perhaps something else on the menu just to get a better feel for the food. I think they could make some refinements on the menu (such as listing the available toppings for burgers) and include some sort of beer list, even if it's only posted on a giant chalk board somewhere (if they have rotating taps). Prices were average and the beer was very cold and that was a good thing. I can't stress enough how nicely the viewing lines and screens are for viewing sports.",
"Absolutely hate this place. We have been here 3 times. The first time it took the bartender more than 5 minutes to welcome us even though the bar was practically empty. The second time a different bartender did a great job, but some loud mouth \"manager\" was running around cussing and talking loudly with her friends. The third time (less than an hour ago) we walked out because the bartender thought it more important to talk with her fellow employees than serve us. I have rarely seen such terrible service.",
"Disappointing food and spotty service. Buckets has been open since late September, and they've assembled a crowd of regulars who prop up the bar each night. If you're part of the inner circle, then the servers and manager will visit with you and make sure that you're served quickly. Unfortunately the rest of us take our chances walking in here.\n\nBuckets is located on Gunn Highway near the intersection of Casey Road, in the Sweetbay shopping center. The space has been the home of numerous other bar & grills, so these folks have to fight an uphill battle to be successful.\n\nThe decor is nice with a lot of big-screen TVs projecting all of the major sporting events, and the selection of beer includes Cigar City Brewing beers on tap.\n\nI ordered some wings which are supposedly the house special. I found them to be greasy, and the flavor didn't rock my boat. \n\nMehhh, I've had better.",
"My family and I stopped by Buckets for lunch last week. Very nice inside, More big screens then I have ever seen in one place.. \n\nI had fish tacos, ( Delicious ) my wife had a wedge salad, she went on and on about how good it was. Kids were happy, and they are picky eaters. \n\nService was fine, no complaints. Drinks were very reasonably priced. Lots of beer choices (24 taps)\n\nWe would decently return to Buckets Tavern and Tap",
"This might not go down as the best sports tavern in Tampa, but it sure as hell IS a nice place. The build out is great and very roomy for large groups of people to watch games. The walls are lined with large projector screen televisions making it very easy to view from then from anywhere inside the establishment. The bar also includes a 'multicade' machine which features Mrs. Pac-Man, Galaxian, Dig-Dug and Donkey Kong Jr. Also, they have two pool tables (bar size) and a pin ball machine. The place is VAST.\n\nThey also have food and drink specials on most nights, including but not limited to: $5 burger Mondays and 50 cent wing Tuesdays. We didn't eat, but we grabbed two Bud Lights, played some pinball and kept it moving.\n\nNo delays in service or anything negative to report.",
"I really wish I lived a lot closer to the \"Super Wal-Mart of neighborhood bars\" because it's friendly, they have great burger and wing specials (Mondays and Tuesdays respectively) and they offer Crowd Savings deals as well. This could be my new fav place to watch a game because of it's sound system, and tv quality. Could be promising..just hope they can work out their growing pains and get consistent reviews on service, because without that-they're doomed.",
"My wife and I tried Buckets since we had a $5 off coupon and we'd never been there before, and they supposedly had 24 beers on tap, etc. Well, it turns out that most of the beers on tap are your typical bud light, amberbock etc. with a few different ones like Stella, Kona, a Cigar City beer that I don't recall, Yuengling and so on, but nothing much in the way of good craft beers.. No stouts on tap, which is our favorite type of beer.\n\nThe food.. We had some wings with the \"hottest\" sauce and I do have to say they were pretty decent, with plentiful sauce, and the sauce I do have to say was actually pretty hot, hotter than most \"hot\" sauces you order at other sports bars. So kudos to Buckets for actually making their wing sauce spicy.\n\nMy wife and I split the seafood basket and yeah, it is your typical, mediocre frozen fare. My wife said that the fried fish tasted like breaded & fried dust.. The shrimp and clam strips were edible but not too great.\n\nAs for the service, it was a bit slow but they were apparently understaffed, and it was not our waitress's fault, as she was pretty much running the entire place by herself and did her best. All the same.. not sure if Buckets is usually that understaffed or if it was just a bad night. Maybe other nights are better.\n\nOverall, I'd say the beer selection is fairly weak if you are into good craft beers, the food was pretty medicore overall, and they need more waittresses on hand to help speed up the service. I give it 2 stars overall, because the wings were ok and it seems like a good spot to watch sports with lots of big screens. But if I come back, it will probably be just for some wings and a couple of beers, since the seafood was honestly pretty bad.\n\nMore likely, we'll stick to Tanks Tap Room that is also near where we live.",
"Went last night for the 50 cent wing special - not impressed. Ordered 10 wings to be split between two flavors, and after nearly a 30 minute wait they brought 20 of each. I ain't never waited so damn long for wings before in my life. We almost began gnawing on our arms. After my display of dissatisfaction, the waitress came by and said she would credit us for the extra 10, which was nice, but didn't make it any less annoying. We had the jerk flavor and the garlic parm. The garlic parm wings were a little dry and lacking flavor. Dagwood's is still the best place for this flavor. The jerk wings were a dry rub, which I rather enjoyed. The flavor was pretty good too, and if they were bigger, I'd go back just for these. We also ordered some tater tots and a cup of chili. We threw the chili on top of the tater tots for a taste bud victory. Still though, I probably won't return... Ever."

"food was great,but no service,our waitress's boyfriend was there and she spent all our time there standing beside him,but we got a free floor show,as did the family with 3 kids under 12 sitting on the other side of the room,we got to watch as he ran his hands all over her arse,and up her torso to cup her breasts,another waitress tried to take care of us so we tipped her.",
"If your with your dog and want to eat don't go here. Their outdoor seating is not dog friendly. I have been to many restaurants in Tampa that allow dogs but not this one.",
"Horribly slow service. I live nearby and have really tried to give this place a chance. Last night was my final attempt. \n\nMy daughter and I waited 5 minutes to be seated, not because the place was busy, simply because nobody came to the front to greet/seat us. Then our waitress didn't take our drink order for about 10 minutes, then she didn't come back for about 15 minutes to take our food order. \n\nThe food is ok but the poor service is the reason I will not be going back.",
"Good food, questionable service. This beefs has 27 beers on tap. The service has not always been the best. I have been here several times. I personally feel like they are making an attempt to improve the service.",
"This place is BRUTAL. When it first opened, we went a couple of times and stopped because it had become a hangout for several people in our neighborhood... their kids ran wild in the place, and the owner just looked the other way. We never cared for the group of neighbors anyway, and certainly didn't want to spend MORE time with them than we had to - so we started going to a GREAT BO'B's location on 52 in Hudson, about 12 mins from Connerton/Wilderness Preserve. HOWEVER, our kids go to LOL High School and their sports teams eat there often, so we wind up going from time to time. As others have mentioned, the service is often horrible and the owner seems content to just make sure his regulars are happy. The other night we went in to watch the the Sunday night NFL game, and we'll never go again. The only folks in the place were drunk, LOL's rednecks...loud, obnoxious and of course, on a first name, hand holding basis with the bartender. We couldn't get her attention for anything, couldn't get refills on our sodas and finally just gave up. And by the way, I'm cool with rednecks - I live in Land O'Lakes after all, but not cool with loud mouth, vulgar drunks in a local, family restaurant. The owner came in per usual, and chatted up the regulars who were there all day nursing drinks and being obnoxious, versus servicing us properly who were there getting dinner and dessert. I will never set foot in this Beef's location again, unless there is a LOL's High School function there. Average to below average food, TERRIBLE service and an awful local vibe. Joe D",
"The food was good. However, I have gone in 3 or 4 times and there has never been someone up front to greet us. Then it takes so long to get seated we finally just went and sat down on our own. Eventually the server gets to our table and takes our orders but the turn around time for the food was very slow. We waited over an hour for food on a Friday night and I know Friday is a busy time but the place wasn't that full. There were empty tables inside and out. Also, as we were waiting the waitress never came back by to check on our drinks. I had to track her down to find out what was taking our food so long and her answer was, \"It's Friday\".",
"It's your typical chain bar food. But they do have great wings. Large draft beer selection. Awesome bartenders! Michelle is the best, but they are all personable. We go often.",
"We've gone to this restaurant several times in the past few years and the menu continues to evolve. \n\nThey are a little noisy for us. It seems that it's a great place for families. They did have a nice selection of craft beers that our group appreciated. Don't go expecting a nice dining experience.",
"Last night was my 2nd visit to this location, & this time, we sat on the screened patio. It was loud. If I'd brought my kids when they were younger, this seating area would've been perfect, as the adjacent outside area had bean-toss games & plenty of room for kids to run around. But my group was already seated when I arrived, & since we'd all had kids, none of us were terribly bothered.\n\nBecause one of the other ladies already had a yummy-looking sangria, I ordered one, too. That 1st one was good, w/ 3 pieces of fruit, & the great taste of sangria. But my 2nd tasted like watered-down cranberry juice, with only 1 piece of fruit...almost like I'd ordered 2 different drinks.\n\nAs soon as I opened the menu, the Cheesy Bacon Pub Chips caught my eye, & I stopped looking. And that top layer was incredible! Unfortunately, the juicy bacon & cheesy goodness covered maybe a third of the potatoes on top, & underneath were just thin, dry potatoes. I'm no cook, but, a larger platter to spread out the potatoes before the cheese & bacon drizzling might have led to a better end mix. Just a thought.\n\nOur server was attentive & kept everyone's drinks coming as we liked. But the TVs on the patio went off before 10pm (on a Friday night), & the house lights came on just after 10. Our server brought our checks without our requesting them, so we felt like we were being rushed out so they could close that area. But really, this is Florida, & possibly the 3rd night this fall w/ temps below 80 - what's the hurry to close the patio? Oh, wait, we're in Land O'Lakes. Even with that odd 2nd sangria, I'd wanted to order a 3rd drink, but since we'd already paid, none of us wanted to start a new tab. As this isn't my neck-of-the-woods, I didn't check their hours, but the ladies I was with said they closed at 11pm on weekends, so I'm not sure why 4 drinking women were being rushed away, but whatev. I didn't choose to eat here, & never would on my own, but I'm sure the girls will be back & so will I.",
"So Far Beef O' Brady's has never left me down.\n\nMy dad always sets an order up with Beefs and there has been one time I went to grab it. The customer service was very pleasant and I was happy with the overall quality of the food. They did forget my malt vinegar though!! However, I know now that it is available upon request. The place can be a bit noisy especially with all of the sports going on, so that is one thing to be mindful of.\n\nNevertheless I noticed that beef's has a private room for family's, birthdays, or whatever the occasion, I didn't go in there obviously but it is a nice touch to have. \n\nMy order was the Fish N' Chips basket, served with fresh lemon (I requested and received extra) tarter sauce, and chips, I choose also to add broccoli as a said (it's steamed, I prefer fresh) however it was a tasty bite to have. \n\nKnowing my dad we will definitely be getting food from Beefs again and I am sure they will not dissapoint"

"I'm surprised no one has reviewed this Bonefish Grill yet. It's a pretty nice replacement for the truly awful Friendly's that used to stand in its spot. I'm happy for the new addition to the neighborhood.\n\nI've been to this Bonefish two times since it opened. The first night was a Wednesday, which is $5 Bang Bang Shrimp night, so it was packed. Still, my husband and I were able to find a seat at the shared tables in the bar. We were elbow to elbow with a couple on each side of us, but we got to chatting with them eventually and it spiced up the evening. The even bigger benefit is that we didn't have to wait for a table. This area still has access to the full menu and waiter service, so it's kind of a no-brainer pick during busy times. That evening we split a Bang Bang Shrimp and had a couple of beers. For a chain restaurant they have a reasonably good craft beer selection along with the regular American drafts. The Bang Bang Shrimp is rich and filling, and as we had each had a late lunch, this worked out to be a perfect, low-cost meal.\n\nAnother night I met a former co-worker there and had a made a reservation in advance (good thinking!). I had a shrimp and scallops entree with mango salsa and was very pleased with it. I also had a salad to start and one of their seasonal sides, which was perfectly ripe tomatoes with balsamic and I believe some feta. Key lime pie rounded off the meal and was a completely unnecessary and gluttonous move (but very delicious nonetheless).\n\nI haven't got a bad thing to say about the place -- they're prompt and friendly service-wise, it's a great convenient location, and they do a consistently good job with their food. Also, they have an outdoor patio! The view is Route 309 and the surrounding parking lot, but spots for dining al fresco in the suburbs are few and far between, so I'll take it!",
"Went there on a busy Friday night. The bar and food service were slow Waitress was very friendly and kept apologizing for the slow service., I could not taste any alcohol in the margarita And I paid extra for the Petrone,. My cappuccino was very watery. Had the tuna and I didn't know it was served cold. the crabcakes were good, Coconut shrimp was good. Wedge salad was also good, Would rate the bar service two stars and the food service four stars",
"Both the food and atmosphere, including service, was delightfully pleasant. We will return many times:)",
"Went here on a really busy Tuesday night and I am not sure they were prepared for that many people. I ordered the sea bass, which I thought was good, not the best I've ever had, but it was good. The pesto sauce it came with was great. My husband had the lobster roll sliders that he thought were ok. \n\nOur server was very nice and helpful, but the reason I am writing this is b/c of what happened soon after we sat down. Our waitress was explaining the menu and all of sudden another server just drops a plate of bang bang shrimp off at our table. We didn't order anything b/c we just sat down. Our waitress said that we should eat them if we were at all interested b/c they would just have to throw them out. I hate wasting food so we were like ok, they look good. When the check came the bang bang shrimp were on there. I didn't feel like arguing even though I should have, it had already been a long day and I rationalized that we did eat them so we should pay for them. When I got to work the next day someone came up to me and said they saw me at Bonefish and we were chatting back and forth about the restaurant and I mentioned this idea of the shrimp just being quickly dropped off at our table. Sure enough she said the same thing happened to them. Just wondering if this is a weird coincidence or an effort to make more bang bang shrimp sales?\n\nAll in all it was a good experience, but I am a little skeptical since that was our first time there.",
"Found the food on the salty side. Calamari was good but wasn't amazing. Wasn't crazy about the lobster themidor, which was a special and came recommended. Funnily, I think the people who were happiest with their meals didn't get seafood (steak and burger). \n\nGood drinks. They had blue cheese stuffed olives, perfect for a dirty martini!!",
"We went for dinner here because we moved from Allentown area and we liked it there so we decided to try this location. This one wasn't as good. Fish was overcooked. Mango salsa was too sweet. My wife's tuna dish was plated sloppily with the soy sauce spilled over the rice. Also service wasn't that good. Yes it was full but they missed our soup. One plate came way after and we had to ask for it. Dumplings and bread were good.",
"Corn chowder and Maryland crab cakes made an excellent lunch. An improvement would be to serve crackers or bread with the soup.",
"Pros: Good food, very tasty, especially the appetizer. Just right portion on main dishes.\n\nCons: Lack of service, the waiters and waitresses are insufficiently trained. Long wait time (wait for tables, wait for drink and wait for food. Wait for everything). A dinner can last as long as 2-3 hours.",
"Been here twice, got to sit and eat the second time. Always busy. Cool interior, especially the bar and hightops. Curious \"group\" seating where a couple can sit amongst complete strangers at a 6-person hightop and yet be perfectly alone. Had the Baja Fish Tacos and Lemon Quinoa. All was good. Wish they'd show the Phils on the TVs instead of softball on a Friday night.",
"One of my favorite meals in the area. I love the ahi tuna, it's like going to a sushi restaurant for sashmi. Service can be slow, make a reservation no matter when going. The bread is great baked and very tasty!"

"Tasty Sandwiches and their reuben is great. I know of some New Yorkers who like this place (and you know how New Yorkers HAVE To be right about delis... yeah...) but the price turns me off... but I guess they can get away with it in Clayton. \n\nI'd rather go to Jimmy Johns.\n\nThings I've Tried:\n\nReuben: Really quality meat went into this sandwich. Cept it cost a lot.",
"This deli is really, really good. I always order the Rachel or the Rebecca. Their Mazo Ball Soup is really good as well. I love taking a bike ride to the place as well because there is an outdoor patio with covered plastic tables. I also love the pickles that they leave out on the tables - they are so good that I could eat the whole container! It gets only 4 stars because it is a little pricey, but you can get a sandwich and a drink for just around $10.\n\nRachel: Like a Reuben but with pastrami.\nRebecca: Like a Reuben but with turkey pastrami.",
"Ignore the reviews below. I'm Jewish, from the East Coast, and have eaten at more delis than I can remember. There are no good delis in St Louis as far as I'm concerned, but this place is by far the worst.\n\nFood, service, food quality, etc. All terrible. Really terrible. I can't imagine how this place stays in business. \n\nIf you want a deli, try Pumpernickel's in Creve Coeur. It's not that good either, but it's 10 times the quality of Posh Nosh.\n\nReally, trust me. This place is to be avoided.",
"The food wasn't terrible. It just wasn't a Jewish deli.\n\nThe knish was in a croissant like wrapper. The potato fell apart. Name it something else and I might be pleased with the lightness. But don't tease me with knish.\n\nThe matzo ball soup was pretty bad, actually. It was over 3.00 for a mini dish of soup, served in a nice crock, but with a plastic spoon. It was undersalted, had no seasoning whatsoever and the maztoball was strange. It made me sad.\n\nThe sandwiches were good, pressed sandwiches. Worth over 7.00? no.",
"Go with the recommendations of the workers on sandwiches. I didn't and my turkey club was pretty mediocre and small. Everybody else in my group seemed to enjoy there's. I will try this deli one more time before I write it off.",
"How does this place only have an average of 2.5 stars?? I don't get it! Well, here's why I don't get it: I don't know anything about Jewish delis. What I do know about, though, is food and delicious things. \n\nI really like Posh Nosh. I meet my mom there for lunch all the time and it's always been great. It's clean, there are always people walking around to collect your empty trays and trash, and they have free pickles right at the table!\n\nI always get the Reuben and it's always delicious, perfectly toasty and crispy and buttery. The meat is sliced thin and has lots of salty sauce and sauerkraut on it. The people have always been friendly and I even got a free lunch once for sticking my business card in their... business card... bowl.\n\nSo while I'm no expert on Jewish delis, I think the sandwiches are great, the staff is nice, and there's a comfortable little outdoor seating area. It's nothing fancy, but it's something good.",
"I agree with kate j - how does this place have a average of 2.5 stars? Every time I go to St. Louis I come here for a sandwich - the Bonhomme is my favorite. The Bonhomme in particular, is a turkey/ham/swiss cheese sandwich served on a nicely toasted and buttered kaiser roll. You can also grab a bunch of pickles to go along with your sandwich or a bag of chips or soup. The sandwiches might look small, but they're filled with meat and never leave me hungry. One of my favorites places in St. Louis.",
"Disclaimer: I am from New York. Long Island. Mecca of kosher delights. The first couple foods I learned were matzo ball and knish and potato pancake (and I'm not even Jewish.)\n\nThat being said, I went into this with low expectations. I had read the yelp reviews. But, I came down with a little something we call swine flu and the only prescription for any illness is matzo ball soup. I ordered some and a potato knish. \n\nI don't know about their sandwiches, but all I can tell you is do not order the soup or knish. The knish was wrapped in something that looked like croissant dough and was very greasy. The soup broth wasn't very good, nor were the matzo balls. I probably could have made something better if I wasn't worried about infecting my local Schnucks. \n\nI will give them a try for sandwiches in the future, but just know about the soup and knishes.",
"Under new management, but the place is still rocking. I highly recommend the Rachel - great pastrami sandwich on warm rye bread. Oh and there's good pickles to eat. Go here!",
"How does this place have only 8 reviews and so few stars?? I tried this place on Reid Y.'s recommendation and it was amazing. Quality bread, succulent pastrami, and tasty sauce. Also loved the pickles! I would make a point to come back here if I visit STL again! \n\nI can't remember if I got the Rachel or the Rebecca, but whatever it was, it was darn good."

"Had a great salad with chicken, walnuts, cranberries, avocado and a tasty vinagarette! Everything was crisp and fresh and plentiful! Would definitely go back. The owner was very friendly and asked about our service, and chatted with us about the old days in Brooklyn. I",
"I've lived roughly a mile from Fat Tomato since before it opened over four years ago and had never taken one bite until last week. Glad, for whatever reason, we stopped in.\n\nJudging this book by it's grimy shopping center cover you'd think the food was cheap and bad. This is not the case. It's quite darling inside; tiny and welcoming. And warm, no doubt from the brick oven churning out tempting slices. As tempting as pizza can be, we ordered otherwise: an antipasto salad and fettucini fra diavlo, both rustic yet refined and very impressive. I slurped it all up along with the wine I'd brought.\n\nFat Tomato is a cozy place to grab a solid, unpretentious bite. If you're going with a group, reserve the redecorated back room reminiscent of the Italian countryside.",
"This is my go to place for a quiet evening out with my husband. Adorable atmosphere, their special are amazing. I've only ever had one meal there that I didn't absolutely love and when they saw I didn't care for it they offered to switch out my dinner for something else at no cost.",
"This place is great. I used to come here for lunch regularly. The food/service/price is great. One of the few places in south Jersey where you can go for a quick lunch and for a nice sit-down dinner. I haven't ordered a single thing I haven't liked.\n\nThe staff along with the owner, John are very friendly and pleasant.",
"I love nearby Filomena's, but my love for The Fat Tomato far exceeds my love for any other local restaurant. Quaint, small and warm, no decor detail was overlooked. The food is phenomenal and made fresh to order. My favorite is fresh sliced and breaded mozzarella that is fried to perfection and served with homemade tomato sauce. The chicken parmesan is the best around. The food is consistent. You always know what you're going to get when you go there .... And its top notch service and excellent fresh food.",
"Cleanest restaurant ever!!! Nice waitress and owner was very friendly! Now to the Food! We ordered thin well done crust Pizza with Pepperoni! The Best! Saw Salads come out to other tables... Very large portions! The someone ordered a sandwich enough food for 3 people! Looked very good and their fries looked good... We are going back next week to try a sandwich! While we are in the area want try new places and this one is Awesome!!! Don't let the outside.. In a strip mall even if no cars are there... Go anyway, we did and were Very Happy! Thanks Fat Tomatoe!!",
"I'm assigned to a military post here in Nj and I'm living around the corner from this little gem, I liked the atmosphere, had some shrimp in some kind of wonderful sauce and some kind of pasta with grilled chicken, it was very good and was a healthy portion that I took home as leftovers. The wait staff was pleasant but a bit crowded and we ended up sitting too close to other tables and could hear too many conversations I cared not to hear....",
"Don't judge a book by it's cover !! This restaurant situated at the end of a little strip mall had some really great food. We shared the white mussels and could've ate a loaf of bread sopping up the delicious sauce. The margarita pizzas were coooked perfectly. I would've preferred mine a little thinner but still very good. We'll be back.",
"Love this place! Don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside it doesnt look like much, but once your inside its very charming. The food is always great. My personal favorite is their crabcake sandwich. And my husband loves their pizza. The service is always good as well.",
"Took my grandmother and mom out for a nice lunch. Not knowing the area- I wowed them with the miracle of smart phones and yelp. This place had great reviews and was able to show my grandmother something new and tasty, not easy for living close by for decades."

"Stopped in for lunch to check out this new Italian restaurant in Richboro to check it out for a dinner meeting next week.\n\nThe place is very nice, almost too fancy. We almost didn't go in because we couldn't tell if they were open for lunch. I decided to check it out. The were open and we thought it was almost too upscale for us. I decided we would check it out anyway. Don't let this intimidate you.\n\nThis is a BYOB establishment. The staff was great. The lunch menu items were priced in the $8-15 range. The dinner menu was $15-30 range. Not bad. Lunch for two came to $25. It was well worth the stop. The food was very fresh and very well prepared. Service was prompt and attentive. Both dishes and the soup were delicious and well prepared.\n\nOur group will be back for dinner next week with high expectations. This place is definitely work checking out.",
"Great food. Enjoying a wonderful dinner with friends. Fantastic Italian food. Atmosphere is upscale. Staff is verry attentive. I will definitely be back.",
"My fiancee and I were looking for a new BYOB to try out on Valentine's Day, and figured we would try out Uva due to the high praise it received on Yelp and OpenTable. Normally I don't feel too inclined to write reviews, but since my experience was far from five stars I figured I'd share.\n\nWe should have turned around and went home right from the start when we walked into the restaurant and had to wait at least three minutes for the two hostesses to stop bickering about table placement before being seated. I assume (or hope) they were a mother and daughter by the way they were fighting and whining, but either way it was an unpleasant start to our evening.\n\nIt looked like everyone at the restaurant had brought wine or champagne along with them for the evening, but no ice buckets were available for people who wanted their wine/champagne chilled. Our champagne was warm by the time our meal came.\n\nThe waiter was very friendly but mostly absent for the evening. We had an issue with one of the appetizers we ordered (our error, not the waiter's), but could not resolve the issue to order something else because he did not return to our table until we had completed our entrees over 20 minutes later, despite another member of the wait staff telling him that we were looking for him. The restaurant seemed understaffed and possibly unprepared for the Valentine's Day crowd. He removed the appetizer from our bill without hesitation when we finally got a chance to talk to him about it, which was a saving grace for the whole ordeal.\n\nUltimately, my fiancee and I would have been perfectly content with the restaurant's other issues if the food was good, but it wasn't really all that special. We ordered their pasta special as an appetizer (ground veal and mozzarella rolled in thin pasta in a blush sauce) that was unimpressive. I ordered lobster ravioli which had the same blush sauce, bland ravioli, and two overcooked shrimp. My fiancee ordered crab and shrimp risotto, which was decent but only in comparison to everything else we ordered. \n\nKnowing that we wouldn't be able to go elsewhere for a nice dessert on Valentine's Day due to crowds and reservations, we decided to stick around against our better judgment. I ordered the cannoli which was actually great (even though a single cannoli set me back $7.50), and my fiancee ordered a mixed berry cobbler which was nothing beyond what we could have purchased frozen from Trader Joes and microwaved at home. Next time, we'll stick with Bocelli for our Italian BYOB dining needs out in the Philly suburbs.",
"A solid 3.5. App was beet shrimp salad. Very very good. But I LOVE beets. Husband was ok with it. He had blackened sea bass was \"very good\" and tasted better than our favorite La Stalla. I had the the chicken Marsala. It was what one would expect. Nothing great but not bad either. Nothing to stand out of the Italian crowd. All in all, pretty decent",
"Came in for the first time on the recommendation from a friend. Service was outstanding, the menu almost too much to be able to make a choice. Wife had the broiled salmon and I had the veal & shrimp in a creamed champagne sauce. All I can say is Outstanding! Their balsamic reduction sauce was smooth with a little bite of vinegar but also not too sweet - just right. The vegetables were done to perfection with a little firmness left in them and not overcooked. For dessert I would recommend the Creme Broulle. Being a BYOB was a benefit as I got to bring a wonderful Italian Red with us that went wonderfully with the meal. \n\nMy only comment that I would consider a negative is the seating is a bit close and the place could use some acoustical dampening as it tends to get a little loud. If you're looking to party this is fine, but not for a romantic dinner with a loved one.",
"We have eaten at Uva several times, & enjoyed the food & atmosphere. However, the \nservice seems to get worse with each visit.had dinner Sunday evening around 6:30,\nNot crowded at all. After being advised of the special's, the waiter disappeared, we had to ask the hostess to locate him to place our order. When dinner was served He \nagain disappeared, We had no knives, water glasses were empty, No one asked if\nwe needed anything. Not a very pleasant meal. Won't be back.",
"Excellent food. Great prices. Generous Portions. Live Entertainment. Great Staff and Service. What else could you want in a dining experience...",
"I would probably give 3.5 stars if available. Food and ambiance very good. Service awful. \nWe came on Saturday with a large party of 18. My father preordered a bunch of appetizers. It took 40 minutes for them to come out. What was the point of preordering in advance. \nFood was superb. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection. \nAgain, service was pretty bad all night. From getting extra bottles of water to other requests, we had to wait for a long time. In the beginning the place was empty too so not sure why there were no servers to assist.",
"This would be 3.5 stars if I had the option.\n\nUva did a fantastic job hosting a party of 80 people, of which I was a guest, last weekend. \n\nThe appetizers were above par, specifically the calamari, which had fried banana peppers amidst the calamari. It was something I had never had and loved it. The antipasto was also delicious. \n\nA pasta course consisting of a penne a la vodka and a Gorgonzola gnocchi was also top notch.\n\nThe main course was really where I'd dock the points. The seabass and salmon were really pretty so-so and flavorless. But, as mentioned, it was a party of 80 and I'm sure had we been in a smaller party, this course would've been better.\n\nThe final issue I had was with the service. Again, we were in a large party, but we were among only 2-3 couples with a small child. The staff did not accommodate to our son at all. We had to manually refill his water cup from our glasses and hunt down the waiter to see if there was a kids menu. Usually it's unspoken that when ordered, kid meals should come right out. They waited until everyone was served (maybe 45 mins later?) which left us with a tired, hungry and grumpy toddler. It was annoying and I wish they'd taken better care of us.\n\nAll said, I would try UVA again and look forward to sampling other items of their menu!",
"Where do I begin? There were eight of us that went to UVA on a busy Saturday night and not one disappointing moment occurred. The appetizers were incredible; antipasto consisted of olives, cheese, calamari ( which can be ordered not spicy at all), etc. The waiter was so accommodating and thorough. I tasted salmon, sea bass, prime rib, mussels which were so tasty and melted in your mouth good! The desserts were succulent with the best tiramisu I ever had! The entertainment was excellent. The singer was incredible. We all cannot wait to go back!"

"From Grilled Redfish to Stewed Rabbit, this place serves up great local food, that is as it has always been. Get the specials. Get the remoulade Sauce as your salad dressing. Yes, it is worth the drive out to the east. This will be evidenced by the variety of people dining here. From police to attorneys to hunters to plant workers.",
"This place is not closed! \n\nFrequently confused with the other Deanie's restaurants because the taste of the food is comparable. Although not affiliated with Deanie's in the Quarter the food is better than ever: Stuffed Crab, Eggplant and other seafood is the best in the city.",
"Do not get the place confused with Deanie's Seafood in the French Quarter. This deanie's has been around longer and it is better. This place is not anywhere near the tourist areas. It's in East New Olreans, where few tourists go. It's a local joint, with local food. Had lunch here and the lunch menu was inexpensive.\n\nI had the garlic bread which is DELICIOUS. Fresh made on french baguette. I had red beans and rice with smoked sausage ($5.95) and it was a huge bowl of red beans with a decent sized scoop of rice. It wasn't any different tasting than others i've had, meaning that it is good. Not outstanding. The smoked sausage is very good. Also tried the bacon wrapped fried gulf shrimp. Really, really good. Came with yellow rice that tasted just ok and some peas. This was $6.99 or so, if memory serves me correctly. It is very casual inside and the service is very very good. Friendly staff. Would def recommend if you want to stay away from the touristy areas...",
"This is a terrific place to eat GREAT food. 10 daily lunch specials plus regular menu items to choose from. This is the best tasting food for the price in the East. I have been eating lunch here for 5 years and have never been dissapointed. As another review points out, this location is not affiliated with the Bucktown or Werehouse locations. The food at Deanie's on Haynes is far more superior and you get more for your money. I would (and do) recommend this place to anyone who likes \"grandma's style\" home cooking.",
"The food and the service is great! I enjoyed the craw fish and sweet bread...mmm!",
"We went today, and I had the seafood platter ($19.95). It was pretty good, and they gave a lot with it- catfish, shrimp, oysters, stuffed crab, stuffed oyster, fries, dinner salad. But, the batter was rather bland, and we thought they could spice it up a bit. Still in all, it's a well-maintained, clean, family joint (open since 1969). The bar looks like a good place for locals to hang out. I saw others eating grilled seafood and pasta dishes- those looked delicious. I probably need to revisit this establishment at some future point. It's worth checking out, I'd say.",
"I love everything about this place. Its off the beaten path a little but worth it. Definitely go hungry or make room in your hotel fridge. While you are deciding what to order they put a bowl of potatoes on your table to munch on. Yeah...that should let you know what you are in for. I went with the fried shrimp platter and it was amazing. Great services, huge portions and worth a visit!",
"Can you say best Gumbo??? I can! This is one of those places you will never get to experience if you are not with a local! The crab Au gratin is cheesy and delightful not to mention the crawfish that is seasoned to perfection!!",
"I regularly eat at Deanie's since I work in the area. I've rarely ordered off of the normal menu since they offer daily specials. You can view the specials on their Facebook page.\n\nhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Deanies-on-Hayne/170227006448084?fref=ts\n\nI find the food to be of consistent quality and very good. The service is very friendly and prompt. Most specials are served with a side salad and bread. Specials can range from seared duck (one of my faves) to seafood pasta. Usually the daily menu features around 6-8 specials.",
"This is the best Deanie's -- apparently not related to the others. Go here for an unpretentious, cheap, authentic New Orleans meal. The shrimp poor boy is absolutely perfect, and the daily handwritten menu always has local specialties. Super-cheap, and easy to get in and out. This place has been around longer than most restaurants in New Oreans, too!"

"You'd think that Philadelphia is over-populated with burgers, yet another Burger joint keep opening every day! \nThis one is like no other though, with a portion of each sale will be donated to feed children in need around the world. ( their mission is Buy One, Feed One. )\nI went and checked it out this morning and had the breakfast slider- fried egg and American cheese on a potato slider. Was tasty and would love to go and try the Burger soon.\nThree and half Yelps!",
"Decent burgers for a good price and a good cause. We tried this place yesterday after following the hype leading up to their opening. \n\nMy husband and I each had the basic Hunger Burger (beef patty, american cheese, lettuce, tomato and \"HB Sauce\"), and shared fries and onion rings. \n\nThe burgers are my preferred \"fast food\" size, served on a nice soft bun and were cooked pretty perfectly with just a hint of red in the middle. Loved the HB sauce which looked to be fancy sauce aka mayo and ketchup mixed together.\n\nLoved the onion rings and my only issue would be that the fries could've been seasoned more. \n\nThis burger will not replace my favorite in the city but is definitely tasty and Hunger Burger is a great addition to the RTM variety of food stalls.",
"I went to hunger burger the day that it opened. I was slightly disappointed with the experience because I was pretty excited about trying it. The food was just ok. I feel it was overpriced because when comparing to nearby burger joints the price for the basic single burger here is pretty much the price for a double at the others. The food was not bad however there are other places in the area I prefer.",
"Excited that Hunger Burger recently opened in Reading Terminal Market and replaced the previous stand, Tokyo Sushi stand, I wanted to see what it was all about. I do like that their philanthropic mission to feed the hungry both locally and globally, which added to my curiosity. \n\nWent during lunchtime to try their Fun Guy burger and their mac and cheese. The burger was very reminiscent of Shake Shack to me, so I didn't mind it. The mac and cheese however was not good at all. It looked like the roux and the cheese separated, creating essentially an oily mess in a cup. I found myself dumping a lot of oil out. I still ate it because it's lunch time and I'm hungry! I'll pass on the mac and cheese in the future and most likely pass on this place as well.",
"I finally tried Hunger Burger and I am a fan! I had the Bello Burger, which was a nice twist on the classic veggie burger. I couldn't taste the cheese sauce, but that didn't detract from the flavor. OK yes, it is a bit more expensive that I usually care to spend on lunch but the fact that they donate a portion of the proceeds for each burger sold to feed children in the city eases my mind. I really wanted to try the sweet potato fries and a shake but that will have to wait until another day. The wait time for the bello burger was a tad long (15 minutes on my lunch break is too long at RTM since I have to hoof it back to old city)",
"Mediocre, at best. Yes, they have a great philosophy and mission, but that doesn't make it okay to charge what they do for not so great food.\n\nI was really excited to try finally try Hunger Burger and was quite disappointed. I went with the Bello Burger, onion rings, and a small soda. The burger took longer than other items being ordered and really lacked any flavor. I'd go with the portabello burger at Shake Shack over this any day. The onion rings were incredibly soggy, and expensive! I ate two because I was hungry and couldn't bring myself to finish the rest.\n\nOverall, not a great experience. I'll be heading to Shake Shack or BurgerFi to satisfy my burger craving!",
"I ordered the Bello Burger and fries. I love that they have the crinkle cut fries. Delicious and affordable. These vegetarian has a happy tummy.",
"My wife & I were looking for a quick bite in Reading Terminal Market, and we noticed the Hunger Burger had a line, so it must be good, right? While I grabbed a couple of chairs the wife ordered me a turkey burger and herself a chicken burger with Feta & Spinach.\n\nAfter our order arrived I noticed that there was cheese on the burger, so I took it back to the counter person, who asked for the receipt and said \"no, you ordered with cheese\". I replied that it was a mistake because my wife knows never to order anything for me with cheese. I understand that to order any meat sandwich without cheese in Philly is heresy, so I could easily forgive such a mistake. However, rather than apologize, the counter person gave me the evil eye and grunted, although she did make a new burger. But I was made to feel guilty about it. Therefore, a 1-star for attitude.\n\nAs for the food, my revised burger was adequate, but nothing special- more like a MacDonald's : squished roll, flat slab of meat. My \"spicy fries\" were cold and limp, although plentiful. My wife complained that her Feta/Spinach Chicken burger had neither feta nor spinach; when she asked the counter person about that she was told that it's all ground-in when it's being cooked (is that a Philly thing?!). Anyway, it's not what my wife expected.\n\nThe only thing that came out just right was our bottled water, which was cold!",
"I frequent Reading Terminal often, so I would see the long lines at Hunger Burger and I hadn't had the opportunity to get a bite until the other day. Philly has many burger joints and I have tried most, so I fashion myself the official burger taster - so I couldn't wait to check this place out. I was glad I did, for some reason - the line wasn't crazy long and I went for it!! I ordered the \"Basic Hunger Burger and side of fries - because we know the burger will be judged by the fries too...\n\nPros: I was ready to write off Hunger Burger but I didn't get the chance - it was juicy, flavorful and filling. I loved the side sauce and pickle too. \nThey also feed the needy with a portion of the profits.\n\nCon: Of course, it's reading terminal - so it was a little pricey - most good food here it a lil costly - can't add that to the weekly budget, but it will be a nice treat every so often. Remember - it helps to feed the needy.",
"Hunger Burger succeeds at everything - excepting, unfortunately, the eponymous burger. It's not a bad burger, by any means, the Fun Guy. It's simply a burger. At half the price, I'd take it happily as a good deal, but 6.75 is too rich for my blood. Which sucks, because everything around the burger is good. The shakes are thick, the fries are fresh and crispy, the Mac and cheese is creamy -- but this is Reading Terminal. Too pricey for not enough."

"Landry's features some remarkable seafood and I found myself having a bit of everyone's food because of how great all our meals were. The view is also a big plus featuring the ocean outside.",
"My coworker and I HAD to meet our boss here. He visited us once a month on the road. My dread turned into one of the best dinners I've ever had. Landry's staff and atmosphere turned my intimidating boss into a regular person at least for an evening. (with a little help from white zinfandel)\n\nWe dined outdoors even though it was in the fifties. The heat lamps helped a little. My partner and I were enjoying a local brew that I wish I could remember the name of while my boss was waving w zins left and right. Hmm. \n\nWe sucked down a dozen oysters and tried the seafood poppers. Not bad. I had the filet with lobster tail. The filet could be cut with a butter knife. And the tail? Perfect. My friends had the seafood platter. Fried perfectly. \nI was apprehensive about Landrys when I found out boss was paying but a very nice meal and excellent service outside on the bay.",
"So I'm not a HUGE seafood fan but this place always seems to make me happy. great view. dishes are HUGE so you get ur moneys worth. so yeah....go here, enjoy, get fat! its great! =)",
"FIRST REVIEW DOPE DON'T GO HERE! Awful \nok me and my college friends have been laughing about this place since we went like two days ago. Our waiter didn't like us because i asked for a corona because I'm a college student on spring break but I'm still 20 so he wouldn't serve me.. that's cool but we were perfectly friendly and he proceeded to treat us worse and worse. First the Oysters on the half shell came with ketchup instead of cocktail sauce, My friend asked if they had barbecue sauce for her burger and the waiter told her \" No we aren't in New Orleans or Texas\" MAD RUDE.. Then he came back and refilled our half empty sprites with water..R U SERIOUS! My friend who ordered the popcorn shrimp got halfway thru her meal and said the rest tasted like DISH SOAP.. she spit the next one out, i tried one and couldn't swallow it. we didn't complain but we should have but we left him a 1.30$tip which was generous. And last but not least he OVERCHARGED us 75$ for the four of and only one of us had a appetizer... NEVER AGAIN good story BUT NEVER AGAIN",
"We went here twice this past Thanksgiving week, and while I always loved Landry's Seafood elsewhere, this one was just OK.\n\nWe were underdressed, sure, in blue jeans, but we did have the kids put on collared shirts. I'd figure Tampa would be used to tourists though, and that wouldn't cause them to cut down on the service. First time here, I sort of felt like we were a distraction. Seemed like the server couldn't wait to get away from our table. Our kids might not have been on their very best behavior, but they weren't being a distraction, especially considering there was a crying baby a few seats away. Maybe they just don't like kids. It is a pretty ritzy atmosphere.\n\nMy fried seafood platter was great ($30), just like other Landry's and one of my son's really, really enjoyed the crab feast ($40), while my other son chided him for being spoiled rotten and wasting Dad's money. I told him we were on vacation, so don't worry about it, and he was glad he ordered it. Wifey loved her lobster tails (menu said market price, and I was smart enough not to ask).\n\nThe Landry's Banana Foster is huge and delicious, and definitely made this a plus. Not quite enough for four stars though, compared to other high-end seafood restaurants. Maybe I'm rounding down.\n\nWe still came back for Thanksgiving dinner though, and once again was just a little disappointed. They had all you could eat buffet all day with $28 for adults and around $14 for my 2 kids under 12, I think. The buffet included Landry's delicious fried shrimp, and crab legs, but the rest was pretty standard Thanksgiving day buffet fare. Mainly I was disappointed by the desert section. They did have a chocolate fountain, but that was the highlight. No bananas foster, no cheesecake, nothing extra special.\n\nWhen I saw one of the servers taking a cell phone call on the floor, I decided I could only do 3 stars. Plus the absence of cheesecake meant we had to do a trip to cheesecake factory the next day.",
"went mid-week and the place was pretty empty.\nThe service was top-shelf!\nSuper fresh seafood with great cocktails... with a view!",
"Service is always good, friendly staff, great view!!!, clean, spacious, and comfortable, price can be a bit too much for it's portions and quality, and food was good but not GREAT. I was expecting portions to be bigger.. The Angel Hair Lobster Tail pasta was good but not enough to fill me up. They do have fresh green salads and very good deserts! Samples of the [non-edible]desserts are display upon entrance. Exterior decoration is like a vintage theater, but by the beach! Interior is dull but acceptable with a few fishing gears mounted on the walls.\n\nDefinitely dine outdoors if you get the chance to, beautiful view.",
"I was a little disappointed with Landry's on my last visit there. Their menu changed and lost the best part: lobster bisque. :( For an appetizer I had clam chowder and it was so-so. For my main course I ordered some friend oysters, which were alright. The french fries that came with them were great, but the onion ring straws were gross. \n\nThe waiter was average, but a little hard to track down. Landry's doesn't hold the great standing it once had with me.",
"I was very disappointed with the service at Landry's. The request for garlic bread was forgotten a couple times, and the 'on the side' request for butter on the baked potato wasn't noted either. I ate grilled scallops which were excellent... and we had salmon as well. The salmon was fresh, very well prepared as well. Bottom line: pay for the food, not the service. If you want both, check elsewhere.",
"The service was slow, the crab cakes were just bread crumbs, and when I asked what I could substitute for the fries and he said a potato. So, I got a potato, but he failed to tell me it was an extra charge for the substitution. If you get veggies as a side, it is literally just ONE piece of asparagus, and the shrimp po' boy wasn't good either. Avoid at all cost. Very disappointed with it all."

"Royal's Restaurant is an amazing Caribbean restaurant in West Oak Lane. The food is cooked to perfection and well seasoned and reasonably priced. They have a rather extensive menu and weekly lunch specials. Anything you can think of they have. Curry, Jerk, Stewed, Fried etc. They also have loads of side dishes. Potato Salad, Mac and Cheese, Greens, Cabbage, White Rice, Rice and Peas, and more. They even make salads! \n\nMy husband turned me on to this place, we usually come here after service on Saturdays, and on Saturdays the place is packed with people ordering food. In fact one Saturday, we went to get Curry chicken and they were out, so they recommended the Stewed Chicken. I was a little skeptical because It wasn't something I normally order, but it was delicious, and now my mom prefers to MIX her order with Curry and Stewed. \n\nOur usual staples are the Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken Rice and Peas, Cabbage and their Mac and Cheese. But one day I stumbled upon something they had called \"Mango Jerk Salmon\" and its what i get every time i come. Two people can go in this place with about $20 and load up on food and have leftovers. \n\nThis is a family restaurant so they treat you like your a friend they haven't seen in awhile whenever you come in. They also have a few tables and chairs inside, but its more of a take out place, which is fine with me, because I'd rather attack my food privately. LOL. \n\nMy only issue (and its not a complaint ) is that the candied yams are verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry sweet. They are delicious, but i have to eat them along with something else to cut the taste. If you eat them with a spoonful of something else you can eat them just fine.",
"Let me just say that this name suits them just fine. Why you ask? because they treat their customers like Royalty! \n\nLet me take it back 5 yrs ago. When they first opened or I should say when I first discovered Royals I was 6 months pregnant and was craving fried plantains. I went into the store next door but they did not have any, and they had no interest in making a pregnant woman a plate. \n\nI was getting into my car and saw the flags basically advertising a new business. I walked in asked the cook did he have plantains he said no, I stared at him and say I want plantains and they don't have them next door. He told me give him 5 mins, I sat down and I had my friend plantains in 5 mins and it was free too. \n\nTurns out there is this superstition about giving a pregnant woman what she wants when she has a craving or something bad happens.......any hoo\n\nSince then I have been eating at Royals....and then Angelene their hostess was added to the staff. When you get the pleasure of experiencing her customer service, you will never, ever meet another server like her anywhere. \nHow do I know? Because I worked for a hotel and customer service is a huge deal when I spend my money. \n\nShe offers suggestions, tell you about their discounts, remind you that you need a drink with your meal and offers dessert. It like she is from a freaking 5 start restaurant in another city. \n\nMy favorite dishes \n\nLunch:\nVeggie Patties and coconut water or Jerk chicken sandwich on wheat with coconut water.\n\nDinner:\nOxtail, rice and beans wt plantains of course or curry chicken and rice.\n\nMy husband favorite dish is: stewed turkey wings, mac n cheese with candy yams. \n\nAnd you can find them on facebook too......\n\nRoyal's is my #1 place to eat traditional island food!",
"Love's me my new spot. OX Tails, Jerk wings, platters, Fish, deserts, everything is amazing here. Jamaican food is funny like that. A lot of people will have their specific one spot they take over anyone else. But, I love Royal's like that. The service and selection is great, they always have their full menu in stock. What's better is you can mix up your sides and choices of entree from the menu. I've eaten most of the main menu. It's been so so good.",
"This place is the best. I have been trying to find a place that sell oxtails that were good for a very long time. I have tried numerous places an non of them compare to this place.\n\nA relative of mine suggested that I try this place and I am hooked, the service is great and the food is excellent. The people are very friendly and there are a lot of different things to choose from on their menu. The only downside is that it's not in my neighborhood, but it is well worth the drive. The portions are a nice size and I know that I am getting my monies worth, this place gets two thumbs up......",
"My husband happen to Google Jamaican food and found Royals online, we have been hooked every since. We've tried jerk chicken, stew chicken (our favorite), salmon with jerk and mango sauce. When you enter the restaurant you are always greeted nicely. I'm originally from Brooklyn NY so I know a lot of good spots for Jamaican food in Brooklyn so I'm happy I came to royals when I get home sick.",
"Extremely satisfying meals with generous amounts for plenty of left overs. I purchased the stew chicken, w/ rice&beans & Mac & cheese. The stew chicken was the bomb..the meat literally fell of the bone =p..& Their Mac & cheese was delicious, an even balance of roni' & cheese.",
"Love their vegan menu, love their jerk chicken, the pasta and chicken patties! Great service!",
"Amazing food. Amazing service. Well earned five stars.\n\nEven though it is right around the corner, I had never been to Royal's until today. I read the Yelp reviews and though, \"I wonder why I never go to Royal's?\"\n\nWe ordered:\n\n- mac and cheese (very good, baked)\n- jerk chicken (falls off the bone)\n- stew chicken (moist, delicious)\n- collard greens (solid)\n- cabbage (pretty good, nothing to phone home about)\n- chicken patty (good)\n- spinach patty (good)\n\nThe customer service is second to none. No complaints at all. I will return.",
"My husband and I love this spot already! The food is very good, very fresh & the portions are very generous. I can't remember going to a place & everything we got was very delicious! Like a lot of places though, they run out of some popular dishes fast, but I can understand why because their food is that good! Angela is very nice & accommodating. I couldn't ask for anything more! We will be back!",
"Disclaimer: This is nestled in the middle of a Philadelphia neighborhood. So don't expect the place to be like the Hilton.\n\nI came in thinking the place was okay looking. There were maybe two tables or three that you can eat from if you wanted to eat in.\n\nWhen I got to the counter, I had to wait like a minute before someone came. But when someone did, I was greeted with so much hospitality that I wouldn't expect from such an area. The lady was REALLY nice. She kindly asked me what I wanted and was always smiling. And she had repeat customers coming, which told me other people loved it. Best part is that she knew their names as well, which really sells the food.\n\nBut saving the best for last, I order the quintessential staples of Jamaican food: Jerk Chicken along with Baked Mac N Cheese and Candied Yams. The Jerk spice ran through all of the chicken and it was soft, compared to other places where the Jerk sat only on the surface. The Mac was so good. She definitely experimented with her Mac because she was using some unique ingredients. The Candied Yams: loved it. Wasn't baby food mushy, but at the same time was held together with great texture and sweetness. I will most definitely be coming back and telling my friends.\n\nGet out of your comfort zone and get to Royal's, cause they treat their food and their customers, like royalty. Should get paid for \"slogan\".\n\nOne advice: Call in advance if you can, they take awhile to get it served because they get a lot of people ordering their food, but that is to be expected cause of how much care the food is given. You can taste the love."

"I know..I know..why would I go here when I just had amazing Japanese food in New York? My coworker saw it there off the highway when we were starving and looking for food and I just said, ok.\nI was hoping you could get meals and not just the teppanyaki, but unfortunately it's that or sushi. I got the \"lunch special\" for $12.99 it's chicken and steak, fried rice, and veggies..I use the term veggies loosely though because it was only onion and zucchini. What a RIP-OFF!\n\nThe service was fine, and fortunately the cook didn't go all out trying to make it into a show, he just did the egg trick only, no onion choo-choo train or any of the other typical stuff.\nThe steak and chicken were actually ok, not salty or dried out at all. I would give it 3 stars if they could throw some mushrooms, carrots, etc on there with the vegetables. Plus I wish they could get rid of the muzak. ugh.",
"I go to Fujiyama for sushi quite often and love the food as well as the service. They have a small sushi counter, which seats about ten people at a time. I have never eaten at the hibachi grills they have, but I am more interested in the sushi!\n Each time we visit, we are greeted by very attentive servers and very knowledgeable sushi chefs. Their sushi is always fresh, always carefully and artfully crafted upon order. The seaweed salad is wonderful and flavorfully balanced, not too pickled like some places! Also, their squid salad is fresh and light.\n We always have a wonderful selection of sushi rolls as well as nigiri and the service staff is great. My favorite sushi is ikura, and they always have it in stock and very fresh. They usually have price specials throughout the week, so that is also a bonus! Plus, many websites including coupons4indy.com contain coupons for Fujiyama!\n The sushi at Fujiyama is always fresh and the staff and Fujiyama is always great. Definitely worth visiting!",
"Took the family here for Habachi one night when we were desperate for something other than fast food in Franklin Township. Bad Idea!\n\nThere was a sign up front that advertised $9.95 chicken teriaki so I steered the kids that way. When the bill came, the total came to $15 per dinner. I brought this to the attention of the hostess and she said that they had forgotten to take the sign down after lunch hours(the sign did not referrence a lunch special). I had to pay the higher price and it was their mistake.\nI wouldnt complain if the dinner was great. Really! But it wasnt.\nFood was bland and they were stingy on veggies and rice. I guess what do I expect from chicken teriyaki. \nOh well, wont be back.",
"Went here for the first time this evening for sushi. Staff was very friendly and sushi was great! They feature half price happy hour sushi every Monday and Tuesday from 5-7 pm. Ten different rolls are available for half price, from your common California Roll to the more complex Temptation Roll (shrimp tempura, avocado & cream cheese tolled inside and topped with crab and more cheese). \n\nThe decor is drab and dated, but it is easy to overlook that based on the good food, friendly service and affordable prices. Will definitely be back here again for happy hour! :) \n\nP.S. If the decor bothers you that much, you can also take advantage of the half price deal by ordering yours to go.",
"Half price sushi Monday and Tuesday. Beat deal ever! And great staff that are always helpful. The updated decor and ambiance has helped tremendously and I enjoy both lunch and dinner here. By far my favorite sushi place on the south side of Indy.",
"I visited for a mid-week lunch with co-workers. We were seated at a grill with some regulars who were a lot of fun to listen to during our meal. The decor of the place seems like a hibachi grill that maybe had its heyday about 15 years ago. It's clean and it's nice, but something about it just seems a little old, almost like an older casino in Vegas. I got the teriyaki chicken which included miso soup, a salad with decent but kinda weird dressing (like a weird 1000 island), and the protein with fried rice. Our chef was skilled and cooked everything well and it all tasted good. Not amazing or bad, just pretty good. I'm a fan of Benihana and this place was similar obviously. I wondered how a $9 lunch would compare to a $20 dinner plate, and the difference in quality and taste actually does show through, so that's interesting. I would definitely return to Fugiyama. It's a nice cozy place to spend a lunch hour, and ten bucks for lunch occasionally is fine for me if I get to watch a hibachi chef run through his hibachi schtick (I'm sorry but I laugh hysterically every time they roll the egg and say \"japanese egg roll!\" That shit is hilarious.)",
"I don't normally go out for sushi in the Indy area, but this place definitely didn't disappoint. They have some pretty interesting sushi rolls, including \"Burning Passion Roll\" and \"Kona Roll\". The Kona Roll was great and had a nice flavor combination with shrimp tempura, mango, and cream cheese. Service was fast and friendly. If you're in the area, stop by for some delicious and pretty affordable sushi.",
"What I like about Fujiyama is that it FEELS local. Which is what you don't get at Benihana. The show is the same at each of these, and the food is great. The chefs they have on staff seem to truly enjoy their jobs, and extending themselves to the diners to make a pleasant experience. And they REALLY step it up if you bring a group. It's a mainstay for our repertoire on the southside!",
"This is my family's favorite go-to for special occasions. The hibachi chefs are entertaining and very good at their jobs. The waitresses manage to work around the chefs using clever tricks and nimble feet. My wife and I always order sushi and it comes out fresh and well presented. Our 8- and 9-year-old sons enjoy the fun atmosphere and the unique sense of humor displayed by the chefs.",
"Not sure how anyone could give this restaurant anything less than 5 stars. I have been eating here since I was a kid. Great food and entertainment. The sushi is superb. Its a good place to take the family. It can get a bit pricey especially on the weekend or dinner time, but if you can't afford it then head to McDonalds!"

"Let me start out by saying that I don't usually do reviews of restaurants. I'm a nerd, usually I review technology or video games. But every now and then on my lunch break I like to pack up my laptop and my camera and see where the winds take me - today they took me across the street.\n\nYou see, Sabor Divino is right across the street from where I work and I hadn't noticed it before. It was a nice day out and as soon as I saw they had the front of the restaurant open I immediately snapped up the chance to try something new. I'm going to start off with some of the bad things about Sabor, just to get them out of the way.\n\nFirst, it's probably a bit pricier than I would normally go for... But normally I go for things that have \"pizza\" somewhere in the name, so my standards might be a bit low. The second thing I was a bit uncertain about is the location. While it is very convenient for anyone who works downtown, I was facing 103st. and the traffic was constant. It doesn't really bug me but if you're the sort of person who likes quiet while they dine you might want to sit closer to the back. And that's it for the negative - it's all good from here.\n\nI sat down and was immediately greeted by a waiter with a smile on his face, always a plus. I asked if I could sit at the open table at the front and he said it might be a bit cold. I take great joy in my nerdy sweater vests so I cracked a joke about it and sat there anyway. The chair was comfy and the sun was warm.\n\nIt wasn't very busy in the cafe area but there were a fair number of tables up top, even still the servers managed to get to my table at all the correct times. Coffee low? Refill. More water? Certainly. Mouth full? No waiter to be seen- excellent.\n\nI ordered the steak sandwich and munched on some bread while I waited. I have added a picture of the sandwich - it is the best food picture I have ever taken (thanks again to the sun). It was also delicious. There were two layers of steak: perfectly prepared and very juicy. I was a little bit wary of all the green bits in there at first but apparently even a geek needs things other than salt, sugar, and cheese.\n\nI sat with my laptop for a while longer and to help prolong the experience decided to say yes to dessert. You really can't go wrong with cheesecake and Sabor proved that you can go very right with it, too. For $3 you could get a \"tantalizing\" portion which turned out to be just the right size for lunch.\n\nI left with a full belly, a light wallet, and a smile. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone I know.",
"Dined here 6 June 2009. Total for 2 with tax was $186.90 (tip extra) but that included an overcharge. The two us arrived without reservations on a Saturday night around 6:00 and left at 8:30. They were able to seat us immediately, unfortunately adjacent to the piano in the middle of the room, the location of the piano not only obscures vision within the room but we had trouble hearing each other and it was a distraction. The room itself is very comfortable, and has has great ambiance - with the brick, and wood available in this old \"Boardwalk\" location. Perfect for those special dinners or romantic evenings. Dress up or dress business casual. Not a spot for small children - and I would not want that given this is positioned as upscale dinning with a price point to match. That said we were there simply to eat and waited months after its grand opening to allow them time to polish the rough edges of the operations. The restaurant was busy and I would say that by 7:30 and as we left every table was taken.\n\nOur server for the night was a youthful young man, and was accommodating through the night. Asked if we wished to order a drink - we advised we would look through the wine list while deciding what we would order simultaneously. Although we are very familiar French, Italian and Spanish wines, we confessed to the waiter that we are limited knowledge or Portuguese wines. Sabor does not have a Sommelier on staff (or even for core weekend night hours). We knew we wanted a full bodied red - and he suggested a 2006 Cortes de Cima Chamine (Alentejano) ($43). This is of course a Tempranillo with a dark intense red colour with red berry fruit aroma and some smoky notes. Over all easily drinkable and a good choice for this evening and familiar to us as we often enjoy great Spanish Tempranillo.\n\nWe started with the Algarve fish soup ($12 each). The soup was highly flavourful with a rich fish broth with a moderate amount of fish. It arrived hot and in a nice sized & shaped bowl of 8-10 oz. Following soup we enjoyed a rather large plate of Charcutaria for 2 persons ($24) which contained a selection of cured meats, cheeses, pate, marinated vegetables. This was very enjoyable, and with the fresh bread served would be an adequate meal with the soup. We might have stopped right there - and should have in hindsight, but we wanted to try the main dishes to see what the kitchen could so.\n\nMy partner ordered a medium rare Steak and Frites ($39) which is a grilled 12oz. rib eye steak, home cut fries, green peppercorn cream sauce. He thought it flavourful and I thought it was medium not medium rare and so covered in sauce it was impossible to tell how it was prepared. I did not have a great experience with my first choice. I ordered the Broiled Octopus ($28) flame broiled octopus, roasted red peppers, onions, garlic, olive oil, black olives. It arrived a colourful-sight to the eyes, but the octopus was extremely tuff. These were 3 pieces and the thickness of a big mans thumb and 4 in. in length. They had been grilled, sear marks were evident. I eat octopus often and in fact had octopus the week before at a Chinese restaurant that was similar thickness size and it was extremely tender. Of course the Chinese restaurant serves many many pounds of this a day and all fresh. I concluded it was previously frozen and hence tough as leather. I sent it back as unacceptable and ordered a salt cod fish dish ($28). This dish was very good, flavourful and pleasing to the eye. The server advised it was the most popular dish ordered. \n\nWe did not try dessert as we simply could not eat more. We were charged for the entree we returned (or part of it?), and only discovered this later that evening (we trusted the server had removed it as he said he would). My partner looked at the bill but did not pick up on the overcharge. To tell us there would be no problem and then charge us is a little nervy to say the least. We will speak to the Manager when we have a moment to seek a credit. To be fair though this is how we rate this place: Dining Room: 7/10, Service: 5/10, Wine List: 4/10, Food: 6/10,(Soup 8/10) Prices: $$$+ steep for the calibre of this restaurant. Soup for Two: $24, Charcutaria: $24, Entrees: $39 $28, Wine: $43. Total: 158. CC Slip: 178.00 before Tax and Tip - so overcharge is $20.00 Tax was: 8.90 tip was extra.",
"I fortunately discovered Sabor Divino through a business lunch, and I'm so glad it was chosen as the venue that day. It's been awhile since I've had quality, delicious, melt-in-your mouth food like this outside of home!\n\nThere was a large group of us, but the waiter was very fast, efficient, and accomodating. He made sure everyone had what they wanted and was comfortable. The setting for the restaurant itself is gorgeous -- very classy and upscale with lots of lighting. I hate places that are so dim you can't see what's on your plate.\n\nI ordered the beef and mushroom stuffed cannelloni that day, and oh my gosh, I'm so glad I did. Usually, my order decisions are 50/50, but I got incredibly lucky with this choice. The dish consists of three large rolls of cannelloni, stuffed with hot, tender beef and mushrooms and cheese, cooked to such perfection that they literally melt in your mouth. A sweet and savoury tomato sauce is drizzled on top of the cannelloni, with some salad on the side. And it's a large serving too!\n\nIf you're not too worried about price and feel like eating somewhere a bit more formal (but not too stuffy), Sabor is a great contender for that. I for one definitely plan on coming back!",
"I went to this restaurant after hearing about it from a friend and it was exactly as they described. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was very good and the food was .\n\nYou do have to wait a little bit to get your food but we were enjoying ourselves so we barely noticed. The price is up there but I have come to expect that from places like this in Edmonton. They know they can get away with it. \n\nAside from that I felt it was a good choice.",
"Went to this restaurant after reading rave reviews in two local periodicals. I didn't bother making reservations, and when I and my two dining companions arrived, we were seated right away since the place was virtually deserted. Frankly, I was a bit intimidated to come to this restaurant as it seemed very upscale and pretentious. Upon closer inspection it became clear that this place is nothing to be afraid of as it is no more upscale than Joey Tomatoes. My friends and I were offered a table in the remote corner and we gladly accepted. Sabor Divino is decorated in muted tones and has dim lighting which creates pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The piano added a touch of class.\nOur waiter was very attentive as he took our drinks and food orders. I found dinner menu too limited, and couldn't make up my mind for a long time. I finally decided on fish soup and Tagliatelle pasta. I don't really like ordering pasta at restaurants but since all other main dishes were extremely expensive, I had no choice. Most entrees are priced in $25-$40 range, and some seafood dishes cost as much as $100! Can you believe that? The wine list was rather good but again - most bottles were priced too high.\nI enjoyed my fish soup and pasta, but I am not sure they were worth the price. The bowl of soup was rather small; and pasta with vegetables shouldn't cost $18. \nBasically, my review is mixed - on the one hand, I liked the atmosphere and the quality of service; on the other hand, the food is good but overpriced. I guess what I am trying to say is that I won't be coming back to Sabor Divino any time soon.",
"I'd give place a 4* for lunch and a 3* for dinner.\n\nSabor Divino typically has a lunch special that is $25 and includes a starter (soup or salad) and then an entree (such as a steak or fish). This is great value as the food quality is great and the flavours are good. Perfect for a business lunch as you can chat in a dining room that isn't too cramped.\n\nHowever, at dinner the prices go up significantly and I can't say its great value. Dishes I've had before that I didn't enjoy - crispy calamari starter with spicy tomato sauce (was not very spicy and I don't see it on the menu anymore), black spaghetti with shrimp/scallop (dyed with squid ink which is cool but the dish is pretty simple tasting and could use a sweet flavour such as some nice lump crab), steak frites (the meat was nicely flavoured and grilled but covered in peppercorn sauce which wasn't necessary). My favourite dish WAS the lobster risotto for 2 (which has a $90 price and has chunks of halibut and a whole lobster) - although I didn't see it on the menu recently when I dined there, salt cod (unique dish with unique flavour) and leite crème dessert (great lighter alternative to creme brule).\n\nService has gotten better since they first opened and the atmosphere is great. I love the exposed brick and the speakers/lights they have up on the pillars. It's never too busy which allows for private conversations and the live music on the weekend is enjoyable. Also, in the summer, they open on up the front so it's a nice spot to just grab a coffee and effectively sit on an outside patio.",
"I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience coming to this awesome restaurant. Located on the old boardwalk along side the creperie, the spaghetti factory, and haweli downtown next to city center mall. \nI have spent many evenings here whether for big group birthday dinners or date night with my boyfriend. \nI have had the pleasure of eating almost everything on the menu or at least having a taste of a friends dish. They have an array of things to choose from with something for everyone. The menu cost I would say is a great price range, anywhere from $18 onward for their dinner entree selections, with seafood being their main focus. I would recommend trying the spicy sausage appetizer or the Charcutaria (a platter great for sharing that has cured meats and cheeses as well as some pickled vegetables and some other tasty treats). Even the vegetarian eggplant pockets are super tasty and available as an appetizer and as a main course meal.\nAs for main entrees, my most ordered dishes are the chicken peppercorn tagliatelle and the lamb ragu on gnocchi. The last time I went for a thanksgiving get-together with my friends, I decided to try something different and ordered the monkfish and lobster risotto. Oh my god! It's amazing! If you don't know what monkfish is, I wouldn't suggest looking up what it looks like which I decided to do. Man is that thing ugly! Just enjoy the meaty and tasty flavor. \nIf celebrating or not afraid to spend some cash, they have an amazing seafood platter that I would suggest at least 2 people share as it's huge, but runs around $94. Included on the platter is huge lobster legs, clams, octopus...\nAs for drinks, we generally settle for a pitcher of sangria available in both red and white. By the end of the meal, everyone is usually too full to even eat dessert.\nIf you want a great evening with excellent service ask to sit in chris' section. Not only is he a great server with a ton of experience, but he knows what he's talking about and can make your night go from ordinary to extra ordinary, and he's so nice!\nThe piano in the middle is also a nice touch with live singing and a pianist, but I would suggest sitting a few tables away if possible, since it is a little hard to have a conversation without needing to raise your voice.\nThe only downfall I would say is the unfortunate location of buffalo right next door. I would definitely suggest coming in a little earlier on Friday and Saturday nights, since the club next door starts to pound it's base around 10 pm and you can definitely feel and hear it in the restaurant.\nIf you feel like a tasty lunch as well, they offer different lunch specials daily which include a starter salad or soup with prompt service.",
"Sabor Divino was highly recommended to me while I was in Edmonton for the Grey Cup.\n\nThe restaurant has a warm, elegant design and accommodated our large group (12 people) in a private room.\n\nThe food was Italian/Spanish fusion with a variety of bean, pasta and fish dishes. I found the food to be reasonably priced for a restaurant that obviously was positioning itself as a more high-end venue. The wine list was extensive and offered a great variety of price points.\n\nThe meal itself was memorable. I had the tuna-tartar appetizer and the chicken tagliatelle as the main dish. Both were prepared perfectly - full of flavour and just the right amount to ensure I was full without being stuffed.\n\nThe owner sang to the live piano and drum set which added to the elegance of the evening.\n\nAs far as service - the owner was very concerned that our group was happy. He came to check on us frequently to ensure we were well attended to. As for the servers - they seemed nervous or unsure (maybe due to our group size?) which made for some awkward interactions throughout the course of our meal. The service was not bad, but it certainly felt a little unpolished.\n\nOverall a good restaurant. No complaints.",
"After driving through a blizzard to get here, we were ready for a yummy meal and a cozy yet elegant atmosphere. It had been a heck of a week, which included our son getting suspended from school, The dog eating my hair extensions and my sons new skull candy headphones , so my husband and I were ready for a relaxing fun evening, and Sabor delivered. The atmosphere was cozy, fun, and the live music set the mood. I had the salt cod which was really delicious and best of all, was served piping hot! The owner greeted us on the way out and thanked us for coming, a very nice, personal touch.",
"The duck was fantastic. the live music was awsome, and the atmosphere is one of a kind. perfect for a first date, or a party of four"

"The crepes are great nice spot to chill with espresso and coffee. Live music most every night and every weekend. Has a nice friendly atmosphere with a jazzy sound. They even have vegetarian crepes. I would absolutely recommend trying this place if you are in the area.",
"In my ongoing search for good coffee and wifi options in the area I've stopped into Sonny's today.\n\nI've driven by this place a couple of times, before it opened and was \"coming soon\" and now that it's open. I decided to give it a try today because the Internet at the house with Comcast has been incredibly shoddy.\n\nSonny's is a charming little shop, with a definite focus on music. There's a small stage right by the entrance door and plenty of seating spread between 2-top tables, 4-top tables, a couple of bar like areas (painted like piano keyboards) and a few soft, cushion seats. I missed some pretty good, live blues music last night, so I'll have to be sure and come back again for a live band. My first thought with the stage though is that it's kind of awkward if you're a new customer and you come through the entrance and walk right by the stage, if a band is performing I think that would be a pretty big interruption (or as people are leaving). They're a bit challenged though with the overall layout of the building and are using it the best they can I think.\n\nThey do offer free Internet, two different options. If you're a Comcast customer you can connect to their network here for free for as long as you want. If you're not a customer, you can use their wifi connection and connect for an hour. Since I'm a customer that works great for me, but not sure if that's a lock-out after an hour on the other network or if it's just a reconnect request. I will say it's kind of sad that I can be a full paying customer of Comcast and get horrible service, but come to a coffee shop and can connect for free and get 16Mbps+ download speeds and 2Mbps upload.\n\nSonny's has a great looking menu of food, maybe the next time I come in for live music I'll try something to eat. They've got an interesting selection of savory crepes, sandwiches, salads and dessert crepes. Most of these items range from $6 - $9 or so. Drinks are good and affordable compared to other places. The more I look at the menu, the more I think I may hang-out here until dinner time! Most \n\nI'll definitely be back! If you haven't tried it, be sure and stop in and see what you think for yourself.",
"Our new favorite place to be for great music and a comfortable atmosphere! Breakfast, lunch and dinner- beautiful harmonies and coffee better than Starbucks! \n\nCame for dinner last night... Ordered the turkey Reuben with a cup of broccoli cheddar soup- food was excellent! The music was a tightly harmonized acoustic group called The Barrel Jumpers, comprised of mandolin, acoustic guitar and three voices that were made for each other. \n\nWe loved it so much last night we came back for brunch today- same trio is here so we are enjoying ourselves! Got the \"slamin Sam\" coffee- white choc mocha with a splash of raspberry and topped off with whip cream (WAY better and less expensive than Starbucks). Crepes are incredible!!! I got the berry blast - everything you could ever hope for in a sweet delicious crepe!\n\nDo yourself a favor- come check this place out! You will love this! Bring your kids, bring your parents, bring your TEENAGERS! Free wifi too :)",
"Delicious coffee and crepes! The staff is super friendly and helpful. So glad to have a new local breakfast place in town.",
"I have been hearing about the new creperie in Mt Juliet and decided to give it a try! My expectations were exceeded with the food, the service and the ambiance.\n\nThe pollo crepe and \"Holy Canneloni\" will make you soooooo happy. As for the service- Sonny was so welcoming and Caleb was a great server.\n\nWe will be back!",
"Found this place on Yelp and so glad I did. So wonderful! Perfect, casual laid back atmosphere with amazing crepes and lattes. Will be our new go to breakfast spot!",
"My first visit here -it was fantastic. The staff were friendly and the food was excellent. I had the Athena veggie crepe with homemade hummus and chips. Delicious! For dessert I tried some of the berry blast crepe and the chunky Elvis crepe (peanut butter, Nutella, chocolate chips, and walnuts) man it was good! The band, The Barrel Jumpers, was also excellent. Beautiful harmonies. Their style is much like Allison Krauss & Union Station. This is a great, new local place that everyone should come out and support. You won't be disappointed!",
"Overpriced for the amount you get. I can' make a better sandwich at home. The cream cheese on the crepes are nearly non-existent and the side of cottage cheese with my sandwich was a joke. The food was good, I just don't think it was worth the price.",
"Finally, a place to have breakfast/brunch that isn't the same ol' same ol'. The crepes were delicious! We had the salmon, the pesto chicken and the soup.Caleb, the barista, created the perfect cappuccino and Italian Soda! Nathan served us with phenomenal customer service! The ambiance is casual and welcoming. We are going to return for the live music and fresh Georgia peaches! This little cafe is a true gem. Thanks Sonny. Your cafe is a much needed break from some of the bland choices in Mt. Juliet!",
"Crepes were wonderful. We thought we would check this place out and glade we did. We had several different crepes and they were great. Hailey is a great hostess and Caleb was a great server. Hailey greeted us with a smile and and provided great service. The only thing missing was the wine. I hope that they will be able to serve wine or let you bring your own in the near future. Go check this place out. Great."

"The roast pork sandwiches are a 5-star experience as they are across the street at the original stand. There is also a full bar and big screen televisions featuring whatever sports event is happening (and they have OLN in case you want to watch the Flyers and the station isn't included in your Comcast package - bastards). We came here instead of the stand as my brother can't live without air conditioning - pussy ;) I would have given this spot three or four starts had it not been for our server who thought her job was done when she dropped off our food. We never got the option to refill our drinks and I had to chase her down at the other end of the restaurant to get our check. I asked to see the manager but he never appeared. I was so irate that I didn't leave a tip - the only time in my memory that I have not left a 15 - 20% gratuity. Oy.",
"I'm really only able to go here on trips to Philadelphia Sporting events. And the Stand, serving the same food across the street is also worthy of 5 stars. The stand may fit your itinerary better. But if you've walked around Philly all day, following the Phillies World Series Parade, and you want to have a seat and be served, this is your place.\n\nThe Pork sandwich is the best. The classic cheese steak is not to be denied, but the Pork is other worldly.\n\nThe scene is standard sports bar. The layout is well done and the atmosphere friendly.\n\nGiraffe Friendly.",
"A 5 on two levels ...\n\nFood - sandwiches are great, and variety available make for enjoyable munchies. Pork and Spinach sandwich is a Top 5 all-world sandwich.\n\nAtmosphere - (for Philly sports) ... lots of TVs, semi-near the stadiums and full of Philly Phans.\n\nYum.",
"Now that's what I'm talking about. A cheesesteak worth putting Philly on the map for. Thank God for this restaurant across the street from the stand, too. I walked over to Tony Luke's on a sweltering day in the summer and found a ridiculous line at the original stand, and was pleasantly surprised to find a quick seat for my group inside the restaurant (even less of a wait than the line I think). \n\nThe special cheesesteak with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone is quite good, but a little too sharp for my tastes. Their traditional cheesesteaks are perfectly done - thin ribbons of deliciously greasy and juicy ribeye steak. Make sure to add a basket of cheese fries to really stop your heart.",
"I like the sports bar atmosphere. A nice place to sit down and have a beer and check out the Tony Luke's\"s greens sandwich. with broccoli rabe and sharp provolone. It is very tasty however, it is not the best veggie sandwich around Philly. My wife had the sliders and said they were very good. The fries were excellent and the wine and beer are both priced right.",
"I was visiting from Miami,Florida and a lot of people I asked \"What Is The Best Place For A Philly Cheese Steak ?\" and most of the people said Tony Luke's Beef and Beer Sports Bar. So When I went There it was empty. But When I got the Philly Cheese Steak and took a bite it felt like I was in Heaven. \n\nWhen I Go Back to Philadelphia I Will Definitely eat here again.",
"Came here for dinner because of the sit down seats. Wonderful and attentive service then again it was a slow, rainy night. But anyways, the cheesesteak here was awesome - tender cuts of quality meat (not diced to a mulch like *ahem* Jim's so that technically it's \"tender\"), cheese whiz over the entire bun, soft bread (but did not get soggy - Jim's), juicy onions, and with pepper and mushrooms - yum!! For a measily 8 bucks (same price as most of those other joints), we got chips, a pickle slice, a variety of other peppers and a marinated with oil whole mild pepper (each person got their own individual little containers with the pepper) with the sandwich. The coconut shrimp appetizer was MADE TO ORDER! So fresh, so delicious!!! With huge shrimp too! I tried Pat's (blah) and Jim's (on South - UGH!) and both do not compare to this place. If I ever go back to Philly, I'd only stop here.",
"I saw Adam Richman of Man v. Food tout Tony Luke's one night after Game 1 (Yanks v Phils) of the 2009 Wolrd Series and decided to take a road trip the next day to Philly (I live in central NJ) for a WS souvenir hunt and a cheese steak. After stopping at Citizen's Bank Ball Park and a local Modell's, I set my GPS for Tony Luke's-and ended up at the Sports Bar. I had no idea his stand was across the street-what a goof! Actually, I'm glad. There was no wait, I sat at the bar and nursed a frostty draft Yuengling while waiting for my CS creation. Rich, the bartender, offered me a copy of the daily newspaper, giving me the Philly side of The Series-excellent! The CS did not disappoint either. I got the American cheese with onions. Yum! Great bread-chips and pickle wedge and all kinds of pepper condiments. All for less than $12.00. Sounds like I need to have the pork with rabe and parmesan next time I'm in town. Can't wait.",
"FUBLE Diaries: Episode 3 \n\nAside from the Rocky Steps, the only other thing that most tourists want in Philly, is a Cheesesteak. This is not really my realm of expertise, as most of my cheesesteak consumption happens in the 'burbs but I have been on Yelp long enough to know better than to subject them to Pats or Genos. \n\nTheir only prerequisite, was that they wanted to go to a place they'd heard of and they wanted a wiz wit. I suggested Tony Lukes. Thanks to the travel and food networks, they had heard of TL and approved. Names like Guy Fiore, Bobby Flay, and Adam Richman were thrown around as having been there, plus they liked the fact that the name sounded like a South Philly mobster. \n\nWe arrived on a rainy, Saturday afternoon, surprised to find a huge line but even more surprised to have free and ample parking. I guess the crowd wasn't too bad considering that there was a World Series going on in town, about 5 minutes away. \n\nThey were willing to wait in line for their cheesesteak experience, but Jason's disability made it difficult standing for too long. We were also worried that there wouldn't be anywhere to sit once we got the sandwiches. It was at this point, that I noticed, directly across the street, the sit down restaurant version of Tony Lukes. I reasoned that we could still get our cheesesteak on, sit in dry comfort and maybe have a beer or two in the process. \n\nWe made this happen, and the best thing was that it was busy but there was no wait to be seated. There was a Flyers game blaring, World Series Hoopla, and cold beers awaiting us, with the main attraction of a cheesesteak soon to follow. \n\nThe menu was pretty sparse, as you can imagine, but I was hard pressed to actually find their CS on it. I had fears that they didn't sell them here, forcing people to go across the street. Eventually, I saw it, but you'd think that it would be the first thing you see on the menu. \n\nThey dropped a bunch of hot and sweet pepper dishes on the table, that even I was not sure about. The Alaskans used the opportunity, to flirt with the middle aged ladies at the table next to ours, asking what the peppers were. While the ladies ate up the attention ( \"You're from Alaska! Let me see your drivers license!\") they admitted that they were out of towners too, but that they were delicious and despite their being Yankees fans, they didn't lie. \n\nSoon, the reason we came arrived. I decided to get a wiz wit as well , even though I'm usually an American cheese proponent. I liked it. The roll was fresh and crisp, and the wiz made the experience different for me. \nThe Alaskans , however, were underwhelmed. Possibly it was too much hype, possibly they were a little hung over, but they all had complaints. One said not enough cheese (easily fixed) , one said he didn't like the taste of the onions ( not much we can do about that) and the other just wasn't that hungry. Its often that way with big buildups, they rarely live up to the hype. All agreed that the experience was what they wanted. \n\nAs we headed to the car, it was obvious that the crowd from the just finished Flyers game was beginning to trickle in. It was also evident, for the first time that this was also Oct 31st Halloween, as some costume clad Flyers fans roamed the area. Dean wanted his picture taken with one of the particularly cool costumed guys ( a bloodied Sydney Crosby in penguins jersey). When told that they were Alaskans trying a cheesesteak for the first time, he chastised me, \" Awww you shoulda got a real one from across the street! The ones in the restaurant aren't as good!\" \n\nI was a little bummed that I didn't know that. But all agreed that the short respite from the damp , cold day was nice and needed, and we were ready to tackle whatever came next.",
"At last - I am a Tony Luke's virgin no longer. And what a way to go. It was a gorgeous day in November for philly and DH & I went to Tony Luke's but the line was so long that we decided to go acrosss the street to the sports bar. Afetr a round of fried goodnees - DH had the cheese fries and I had some really outstanding O-rings - we were on to our main attraction.\n\nDH had a cheese steak with Provolone and it was terrific.\nI enjoyed a garlicky plate of Veal Scallopini that was kickin' in old school. This was THE $#!T - for real. Mushrooms, green peppers, onions and tender veal (wish there had been a bit more of that) in a garlicky, olive-oily sauce that reminded me of how my Nonna woulda done it.\n\nUm. If I'd had an Italian Nonna.\n\nCan't wait to go back and try the Chicken Sandwich with Spinach.\n\nI am sold on Tony Luke's."

"Nice little family owned place, nothing fancy just a locally owned bakery. I think they are closed on Sunday's which makes it tough to surprise the family with donuts.\n\nI can't say I was real high on their coffee but it may have just been my preference.",
"Best melt in your mouth glazed donuts in the city\nDont let the long line fool you, they have the fastest help.",
"Tim's Bakery (formerly Tim's Pastries) is a fantastic little doughnut shop. I stop in here every chance I get. The doughnuts will practically melt in your mouth, and the staff are always friendly. Be warned that they are only open in the mornings from about 5-10am, and are closed on Sundays. A slight inconvenience, but I know many hours are put into the doughnuts before they even open and the doughnuts go fast. Get there early, and get some of the finest doughnuts you've ever tasted :-)",
"We go to Pendleton every month to visit a friend, had passed Tim's but never stopped til last week-we're now HOOKED! Those jelly filled donuts & bavarian creme filled donuts are to die for! Krispy Kreme & Longs could take lessons-they don't even come close to the taste & quality of Tim's! We'll now be making Tim's a MANDATORY stop on every trip out to Pendleton! Staff very friendly & efficient too-unusual to find in these days!",
"Hands down the best glazed donuts in the Indy area. Soft and delicious. If you get there before 8am, there is a decent chance that you'll get fresh WARM donuts. There is nothing like it. Seriously, better than even Long's. I could eat a dozen myself. Thank-you Tim!",
"Excellent donuts! Wide variety, haven't found one I don't like yet. Boggles the mind why anyone would get donuts from a place like Dunkin when Tim's is around with VASTLY superior donuts. I rant about this to my co-workers all the time. :-)",
"Philosophers around the world have pondered the question, \"Why is there a hole in the middle of the donuts?\" The answer is simpler than most would think because it comes just as a safety precaution. To understand fully, a person seeking answers should come to Tim's Pastries to find out themselves. Once someone tries one of these melt in your mouth yeast doughnuts, the answer is self evident because this primal instinct takes over, and suddenly doughnuts will start being sucked down the esophagus so fast that a vacuum effect starts almost automatically. If not for the hole in the donuts, surely a choking hazard would form, resulting in unnecessary loss of life. Thank God for holes in doughnuts, and thank Tim's Pastries for making them the best. Soft, fresh, delicious and consistently so! Come early, lines form fast and stock sells out quickly.",
"I'll never understand the intrigue here. If you enjoy yeast donuts I guess you'd love it here. However I enjoy a wider variety of donuts.",
"Superb.\n\nMelt in your mouth.\n\nAll good.\n\nDon't ever buy donuts from a chain store again.\n\nReminds me of Red's Donuts in Monterey, CA.\n\nAlways looking for an excuse to swing by here again :O)",
"While this may be in the little town of Mccordsville further up northeast, I must say it's a local spot where generations of young and old donut lovers remain faithful customers. It may be quaint inside with 2 display cases full of pastries with no name tags, so being new to this...it's the point and describe method. Old-timers know the donuts by name better than us young fellas. \n\nTim's seasonal pumpkin sticks with the sugary glaze is absolutely divine especially paired with a cup 'o joe I'd like to pick up elsewhere. The cinnamon sugar twists (I don't know the proper whimsical name for it.) are excellent when fresh - very fluffy and soft inside. 4 donuts in a bag for about $3 spares me a few bucks.\n\nI hope you're an early riser. They're only open for a few hours in the morning!"

"This place used to be Cappie's. Well ...out with the old and in with the new. New management (the same that run the Full Moon Cafe in Lambertville, NJ) took over and haven't looked back since. They still have the wing specials on Wednesday nights. All-you-can-eat for about $10 or so .... great menu that has a lot on it. (The garlic parm are top-notch ...)\n\nOne of the nice things that happened in the renovation of the property was the walkin beer cooler. It's about 8X8 and always stocked full of sudsy brews. The actual bar area was also re-done and is much more attractive than before in conjunction with the stone wall shelving with black lighting. Nice bright brass bar appointments and rails were added to complete the look. Flat screen tvs were also installed near the ceilings so they always have the game on .......\n\nThe wait staff and owners are fastastic. You can tell they care about what people take away from this place both edible and spoken. Nice beer selection -- distributor of all things Long-Trail. Most domestics are accounted for .... however more local brewers could be present .... River Horse, Sly Fox, Troegs, Yards, PBC ..... you get the idea. \n\nIf you are in the area it is worth the stop: the pricing is reasonable, the beer is cold and the people are friendly .... GAME ON!",
"Becker's Corner is your standard deep-fried everything joint. The food is good, but not great. You can certainly bring kids, but I wouldn't categorize it as a family restaurant. If I had to categorize it I'd say it's more like biker bar meets sports bar. There are 2 TVs in the seating area and at least one other in the bar. The \"background\" music was so loud we had to shout to each other to be heard. On the plus side, our waitress was great. Dinners are priced more in line with a fine dining experience, so we went for apps instead. This wouldn't be my first choice for dining near Nockamixon, but it would do in a pinch.\n\nTip: The crab cakes are mostly crab, not a lot of breading. :)",
"I go for the beer and the tall bartender... the crab cake sandwich is good too! Lots of 'out of the ordinary' beer for where the location is, and there is even an organic one there that I enjoy :) Off the map, but fun place to take some friends and try some new beers!",
"Nicely located in the Nockamixon Lake Area off of Rt 563. Restaurant has a rustic feel including table service and small bar area complimented with several flat screens. Food is above average, staff are very friendly and they have a great beer selection with a ton of micros. The only problem is that the kitchen closes at 10pm.\n\nRevised - I have gottin over the fact that they close the kitchen at 10pm and have been getting there early. The chicken wings are super and once again, the service is great.\n\nHappy Trails",
"Becker's is a place to go to if you are out of options. I have been there about 8 times now and I keep hoping for a tasty meal. Unfortunately that is not the case. Each time the food has been bland and uninspired. If you like wings avoid ordering them other than the wing special on Wednesdays. They charge you $8 for eight wings. In my book a dollar a wing is a complete rip off. I have never paid so much for less than a dozen wings. I live close by and really want this place to be good but it falls way short. Try the Old Bethlehem Road Hotel just up the road.",
"Ok, so I gave Becker's another try. I cannot believe what was put in front of me. I ordered the beef fillet with lump crabmeat and a tarragon cream sauce. What I received was a 6 inch long flank steak that had been pounded to tenderize it. It was not even close to a piece of beef tenderloin. I had to chew and chew to eat each bite. As for the lump crab meat. The half teaspoon of white strands I assume was crabmeat was not even noticeable. I have been to places that try to pass other cuts of beef off as tenderloin, but this takes the cake. Will not be returning.",
"Here's the scoop on Becker's. Becker's is a casual dress, pub grub type of establishment, not haute cuisine. The wait staff is friendly, beer selection teriffic, the burger are great and the sandwiches are very good as well. If casual laid back friendly service and good pub grub food is what you are looking for, you will find it at Becker's. \n\nThe owners also appear to take an interest in their customers as well. If you sign up for their mailing list, and provide the month and day of your birth, you will receive a birthday gift in the form of a coupon for a free appetizer and dessert.. Nice touch.",
"Becker's is relatively close and I have driven by a number of times., but we had not been there. We went today and were pleasantly surprised. First, they have good selection of craft beers on tap. There is also a long list of bottled craft beers. I had a River Horse Stout and a Prism IPA. The beer alone, means that I'll be back.\n\nThe food is good and creative. I had the crab cakes which were mostly crab meat. My wife had the garden burger.\n\nThe location is easy to find since it is located on the road along the western shore of Lake Nockamixon.",
"Great find. A small little gem. This bar,micro-brewery,restaurant sits next to nockamixon state park.\nHad a Turkey Club and fries. Fresh turkey best ,smoked bacon,fresh tomatoes. A good sandwich. Perfect cooked fries. With a sampling of some of their micro- brew. My girlfriend had the fish and chips and was very satisfied. \nTry this place u won't b disappointed. But look hard u might drive right by.",
"What a gem! \n\nAfter spending a gorgeous day at the lake, we rode the Harley on in for some craft beer & lunch (used yelp location to find)...glad we did!\n\nBartender knew his stuff and boy, did they have some great beer on draft & in bottles! After ordering an Ithica flower power (draft) & a Firestone Walker Union Jack (bottle) we ordered some lunch from a great menu. A variety of bar food & healthy options, we got the avocado salad with grilled shrimp, asparagus & green beans & an avocado BLT with awesome waffle fries. Wow, superb! Fresh, great flavor, really money!\n\nDefinitely stop in if you're in the area...great, great place!"

"This place has been around for years! Good food and good prices. The wait staff is a little slow, but worth the wait. Burritos are huge! Chili Rellanos are very good. \nThe beans are definitely refried.",
"I've been in NPR for seven months, and haven't really found a good outlet for my Mexican food fix. Then I see the sign for Gringo's Cafe, and figure why not...\n\nWhen I walk into an ethnic restaurant and don't see any members of that ethnicity on the staff, an alarm goes off. I was greeted by the attractive and bubbly Dawn, and the bells were ringing.\n\nThe ringing was pretty well founded. Dawn was fabulous, and the salsa and meal was less than. The search continues....",
"Gringo's Cafe is about six blocks away from my home and THANK GOODNESS!\n\nThis place has been around since the 90's and we indulge in their Mexican goodness all the time. The restaurant itself is nothing to look at aesthetically, but it's clean with tables and chairs and once you eat the food, you could care less what the room looks like. \n\nDON'T be a mexican food snob and look around and see that there are not a lot of ethnic people working there. Doesn't matter. The people who ARE there know exactly what they are doing and they do it well. I wouldn't title them as \"mexican food\" per se, anyway. I would say more \"Southwestern\". A little history via Gringo's:\n\n\"Did you know that Chimchangas were invented in Tucson, Arizona? And burritos were made by Pueblo Indians long before Spanish Conquistadores arrived. In fact, many delicious foods thought to be \"Mexican\" were actually first created in the United States. Our cuisine is a flavorful blending of Mexican, American Indian, and European influences.\"\n\nEnough of the lesson, let's get to the FOOD!\n\n\nFirst of all, if you are eating in, expect the service to be a little slow. But, the food is definitely worth the wait. If you are ordering it for take out, make sure to give yourself at least 20 minutes before pick up. \n\nTheir portions are enormous. One combo dish is enough to sate your appetite and give you plenty to take home for lunch the next day. Their food is always so fresh and delicious. Their cheddar cheeses are nice and sharp, their sauces are spicy but not tear inducing. The prices are extremely reasonable. The most expensive thing on the menu is their fajitas grande at $14.99. A family of four can eat there VERY well for $30. Their combos range from $6.79 to $9.19 and consist usually of a combination of three items:\n\nburritos/enchiladas/tostadas\nthen, a taco of your choosing, hard or soft, beef, chicken, carne asada or bean\nfinished up with a nice side of rice and beans.\n\nYou can mix and match as you see fit, some of the combos include nachos or a large bowl of their delicious chili. They also offer sandwiches and burgers, including boca burgers for those who don't eat meat.\n\n\nBut, the crowning glory of your meal at Gringo's are the desserts. Let me whet your appetite with the following temptations:\n\n~sweet bites little fried dough with banana and cinnamon, deep fried.\n~little chimi's which are a small, sweet burrito with raspberry cheesecake inside.\n~fried ice cream drizzled in either honey or chocolate.\n~Then, the usual standby's of flan or churro's \n\nDELICIOUS! \n\nSee their new website at http://www.gringoscafe.com/\n\nGringo's is one of the few treasures hidden away up here...so for all of you who live in the city of Tampa and have to come up this way to visit your elderly grandparents in New Port Wrinkles...make sure to stop by here and treat yourself to a delicious lunch or dinner that will have you visiting grandma a LOT more often. She doesn't need to know the REAL reason.\n\nYour secret is safe with me.",
"OMG! Delicioso! Nice Mexican instrumental background music. True tamales, tacos with the best homemade shell you will ever find! Steak was such a flavor that make you want to suck the juices out! Chicken marinated just right without damaging texture! A mock margarita os offered made with special wines and juices that tastes so good! I totally agree that the Chile Rellanos are righteous and not over breaded. The staff is friendly, and helpful with good suggestions. The cooks in the back are passionate on perfection and take pride in their work..They \"put their names on it!\" I've hit this place three times this year...and I live in Dunedin! If you're in the area, you have to try Gringos! Stay hungry, my friends!",
"The first time in my entire life that I ever ate a taco, I ate it from Gringos. And my god, they taste the same in 2013 as they did in 1997. Such a homey and delicious arrangement of Tex-Mex. A menu that I need to sample a little more extensively. One of the best around.",
"My first time eating here. However, there were a number of families in the place. The meal was below average. I am not sure it was seasoned. It was what the waitress suggested so I expected it to be good. I asked my wife about her meal and replied ok. Do not plan to return.",
"Great food and great service. I didn't go eat here till a few years ago and wish I went sooner",
"I was thoroughly impressed with Gringos. My friend and I were working a job nearby, so we decided to try out Gringos. There weren't many people inside the restaurant when we entered. The large amount of decorations inside were a little much. Our server was extremely polite and attentive. \n\nThe chips were good and the salsa had just enough of a kick to it without being too overpowering. \n\nI ordered the Carne Asada Chimichanga. I could have done with a little less guacamole and sour cream on top of it, but that didn't really bother me. The chimichanga was hot, which was perfect for me. The beans, rice and other ingredients mixed perfectly with the Carne asada. \n\nIf you're ever in the Port Richey area and are in the mood for some very good Mexican food, I highly recommend hitting up Gringos. And ask for Sarah for your server. She was great!",
"After reading reviews here as driving by several times a day, I decided to give it a try. The best authentic Mexican food I've ever had, well the only time I've visited Mexico I actually had a hot dog. That being said, I've finally found yummy Mexican food in Pasco.",
"Probably the most Americanized crap I've ever eaten. Salsa made with canned stewed tomatoes. No other options... told some people don't like hot or spicy. Watery canned tomatoe salsa on burritos. The best thing I had was a Dos Equis bottled beer. Don't waste your time! Taco Bell beats them hands down."

"Excellent quality food, excellent prices, and a great selection of food. Bagelicious stands out from the rest of the \"bagel brand\" stores. Their food is always fresh, the two lovely ladies are always friendly, and it has a great family style local business vibe to it. Highly recommend this place.",
"I've had food from here before, but never actually visited and ordered for myself. The food is delicious. We opted for a plain bagel with regular cream cheese, a cinnamon roll, a bacon egg and cheese on asiago bagel (supposed to be an everything but we'll get to that), and a Western omelet with home fries and an everything bagel. \n\nThe place is clean, organized, and the employees are friendly. I could tell, just in the time I was in there ordering to-go, that they have a lot of regulars and the employees stay the same. The prices are also really good. They must do a lot of business to be able to pull in a profit based on these prices, which are super competitive. I actually prefer to order from a smaller locally owned place than a chain and add in better prices and I'm sold. \n\nThe only thing that keeps me from giving Bagelicious 5 stars is that they had a bit of a hard time getting our order right and complete. Just one of those days, I suppose. Miscommunication between the one taking the order and the one prepping the food, and then a lack of follow through of checking the order before handing it to the customer. I thought it was kind of light and so I checked, and I was missing one asiago bagel and the bacon egg and cheese bagel. I brought this to the cook's attention and she quickly cooked a bagel and handed it to me and I was still missing one. I ended up with the bacon egg and cheese on the asiago bagel, which was supposed to go with my omelet, and the everything bagel was on the side. Won't stop me from going back, I just know to check everything before leaving now.",
"Just moved to the area and stopped by Bagelicious this morning for some breakfast. I got a delectable bacon, egg, and cheese bagel to go. They have tons of bagels to choose from. I got my sandwich on an asiago cheese bagel. The stafff was friendly and the service quick. I do plan on going back for just a regular bagel and cream cheese soon. They had a vanilla almond bagel that looked scrumptious.",
"Stopped in on the run and, lo and behold, espresso! I ordered one fried egg on a nine grain bagel (which you can do even though it is not on the menu), an espresso and high-tailed it out of there. But that bagel was, as the name says, bagelicious! The two women working in the shop were as friendly and nice as the bagel was delicious. I'll be back next time I'm in town.",
"Good simple food. Bagels are great and very reasonable. Better than Panera in my opinion. Had a veggie omelette, no cheese. Was hot and tasty. My son had an egg and cheese on a bagel, toasted. He loved it. We also bought a bakers dozen for 7.70.",
"Gross gross gross. Gave them several chances and the tuna is disgusting. Taylor ham inedible-food poisoning. They should be shut down.",
"Fantastic bagels and awesome breakfast sandwiches. Friendly staff and overall just a great pick up bagel place. Haven't tried lunch yet but looks good as well.",
"Super friendly service and great food! We just spent 2 days with friends and needed some good coffee and this place nailed it!",
"Awesome service. I was ready to just have a black coffee and they came up with an omelette and potatoes to fit my gluten and dairy free needs.",
"I'm from NYC so bagels are a challenge here in Tampa...Bagelicious does a good job with my bagel cravings. The service is friendly and quick. The cream cheese is very good. Check the place out if you are looking for good bagels in the Wesley Chapel area."

"Four words: yukon gold potato blinis.\n\nThe accompaniments change each visit. My favorite has been a poached egg and smoked bacon, but I don't care what comes with it, the blini are tiny orbs of floating potatoes. And don't expect to share these babies. Not only are they tiny, but they're too good to share. Get your own darned blinis!\n\nThe menu is tiny and changes every day, which is a good thing. That means the chef relies on what he gets from local farms. And he tells you what it is you're eating and where it came from. Once, it was seared scallops with microgreens from Claverach Farms. Another time it was Benne Farms roasted chicken with root vegetables and thyme.\n\nOne cool thing is Five's \"Cinema Nights\" - a three-course dinner with wine for $35. Dinner is served family style and the cuisine when I went, was based on France, as we were watching Amelie. This month it's \"Walk the Line.\" Menu should be interesting!\n\nThe place isn't in the ritziest of areas, but that's part of its beauty. You know, the whole diamond in the rough thing. And Five truly is. It glistens. The food shines on your palate and you leave feeling much more important than when you first walked in. There's nothing pretentious about it, though. The place is family run. Mom, dad and son all work together in what turns out to be a very harmonious operation. Cool, different and delicious.",
"The GF and I came for the cinema night \"Walk the Line\", great setup and a nice ambiance. The three course dinner consisted of a cheese plate Brie, Cheddar, and a Manchego maybe. For dinner a succulent pork loin served with salad and potatoes. A delightful desert trio with esspresso ice cream. I admit I was expecting more from this restraunt I have heard alot about. However for the price of $35 a person it was an exceptional deal. I shouldn't excpect their A-game for $35. So for the price involved and the atmosphere they get 4 stars I will be back to try the regular dinner selections.",
"I was unimpressed. Perhaps my expectations were too high; but for the price I paid, I expected better food. And, unrelated to the food, the parking lot is tiny and street parking was sparse. Now, on to the food...\n\nI had the Lamb Bolonese appetizer which had a strange after taste. I didn't care for it. I then had the Pureed Lentil and Root soup which was excellent. It had a great earthy flavor.\n\nMy main course was a Beef Fillet with Yukon Gold potatoes and asparagus. I ordered it medium-rare and it came out completely rare. I can't eat rare beef. Luckily for me, my wife can, so we traded and I had the chicken. It was good, but not great. The asparagus from my Beef plate was excellent.\n\nMy desert was a pastry tasting dish which was unspectacular (and fairly small).\n\nAt an upscale restaurant, I expect everything to be great. This time, it was not.",
"The Food:\nThe food was pretty good. Not outstanding. Nothing to get excited about. One example on how the improve the cuisine: I ordered a tomato salad. The tomatoes weren't at their peak. They were a bit on the slimey side & not too fresh. I appreciate the local foods but those tomatoes should have been used differently & not as the main attraction of the dish.\n\nThe Pro's:\n-waitstaff is attentive, knowledgeable & friendly\n-nice ambiance\n-Tasty local beers\n-Great dinner deal. 3 dishes for $45.\n\nThe Cons:\n-The kitchen was SLOW!!!",
"\"Five, Five, Five, Five, Five.\" It's what a friend of mine says to calm down when in a stressful situation.\n\nFive, was far from anything stressful. We dined in bliss.\n\nFive's polished staff were wonderful from the moment we walked in the door right up until they served a decadent plate of fromage with a truffle-honey accompaniment. (Wicked good!)\n\nOur entrees included stripped sea bass, a pork chop, and beef tenderloin. Every dish was an accomplishment on its own, showing-off the creative talents of the chef. (Wherever possible Five uses locally grown ingredients...which is an added bonus!)\n\nI wholeheartedly encourage you to go to Five very soon...it's incredible.",
"wow. this place is great. the location isn't the best but they're moving to the hill in June. aside from that, the service was excellent. our waiter, ian, was very attentive and had excellent suggestions for our meal. the bartender was awesome and even came around to refill our water glasses throughout the meal. (it was a slow night i guess.) they have a deal where you can order an appetizer or salad, entree and dessert for only $35. that is pretty hard to beat especially for the quality of food they serve here. the menu changes a lot according to whatever ingredients they get in from local farmers. the pork cake appetizer with white truffle honey is excellent. the tenderloin with asparagus and gnocchi was wonderful and the salmon was cooked to absolute perfection. the creme brulee and blackberry sorbet were sooo good. i wanted like, 17 more of each. i would definitely go back.",
"There is no better restaurant in St. Louis, and I can't believe how many people still haven't tried this amazing food. Five Bistro has recently moved to \"The Hill\" (they used to be in The Grove) and have a wonderful new space to compliment some of the best food in the city. Chef Anthony and his team put together the freshest, local produce of each season to develop tastes I never would have thought of, but keep going back for. My new favorite was the tuna tartare with a poached egg I had this past weekend. \n\nI love food and really like going to new places, so each time I go to Five the menu has changed so that covers both. I recommend the tasting menu so you can try as much as possible.",
"This is one of the best restaurants in the city! The food is wonderful and fresh. The waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable. The owner and his parents, who are regularly there and helping out, are as friendly as it gets. An all around wonderful experience for any occasion!",
"St Louis needs more restaurants like Five Bistro. \n\nFive is a white tablecloth contemporary American fine dining establishment that serves only locally grown produce and locally raised meats. Mercifully, fish is an exception to the local rule.\n \nWhen dinner is the night, I like to take my time, which means a drink at the bar before sitting down. We arrived 20 minutes ahead of our reservation for a drink. Joe (Chef/owner Anthony Devoti's father) greeted us at the door with a beaming smile and offered to seat us immediately, but we headed to the bar. This is a small restaurant. The bar area is directly across from the entrance and there are several tables between the door and the bar. There is a larger dinning room to the right of the bar but the space is all restaurant - there is no separate bar room. The bar tender was a real pro who asked a couple of questions and quickly recommended a wine that Mary loved and drank the rest of the night. Pleasantly, the wine recommendation was not the most expensive wine in the house.\n\nFive is not the only restaurant in town to focus on local food, but no other is so fully committed to local food or does it so well. \n\nI'm always suspicious of restaurants with enormous menus - they can't possibly do all those dishes well. The menu at Five (allegedly changes daily) is manageable and designed for four courses. There were 5 appetizers, a soup with two salad options, 5 entrees (beef, chicken, pork, fish and a vegetarian risotto) with desserts or cheeses for the final course. You are free to order ala carte or do a four-course prix fixe for $45 ($60 with wine pairings).\n\nMary and I did the prix fixe. My first course was the fish tasting menu which was excellent and made me feel better about my entree. \n\nMy second course was an amazing trout chowder. Too often chowders are as thick as pudding. This chowder was buttery and hearty but with a broth base that felt a little light and perfectly seasoned,...has God intended chowder to be served. \n\nI have some firm beliefs about what to order in nice restaurants - don't order things you make at home or can be found on any menu. Eat like a grown-up - try new things and go for the house specialties. I never order a steak unless I'm at a premium steakhouse (where I will get a prefect steak perfectly prepared) and I never order chicken. I went for a braised pork steak that was nothing like your dad's pork steak. It was a thick square of trimmed pork served on top whipped Yukon gold potatoes covered is a red wine reduction that will change your life. This was a pork version of braised short ribs. The sauce was deep, rich and complex and I ate every drop. Mary broke my rule and ordered the roasted chicken (to be fair, it's the roasted poulet). She was rightly apologetic about the choice but insisted that she had it before and that it was really something special and she was right. The chicken looked and smelled great with brown crispy skin with roasted potatoes and turnups covered in a savory light brown sauce obviously made from the pan drippings. She offered me a piece and I have to say it was the most amazing roasted chicken I've ever had. It was so good I'm thinking about slipping back later in the week just to order the chicken and eat it at the bar. \n\nI'm an easy customer to wait on. I don't expect slavish devotion and I tip well. I have two pet peeves when it comes to service. One is a hovering team of servers who over do it with constant interruptions (when you have a mouth full to make sure you are ok with the half glass of wine in front of you) and constant fussing with the table, all of which interferes with good dinner conversation. The other is the server who is only a bittersweet memory after the menu and specials are explained with all follow-up service delegated to underlings. Service at Five struck just the right tone. Our server - Ian - was always handy but never hovering. He never interrupted but was always there when more drinks were needed, etc. Ian explained the menu well, was comfortable making suggestions (I hate servers to timid to offer a suggestion), and paced the dinner perfectly. The service was pitch perfect. \n\nFive is exactly the kind of restaurant I love: Small but classy where the focus is on serving really good tasting, high quality food made from fresh ingredients. No grand décor or elaborately sculpted dishes that look and taste like a movie prop. This is bistro dining at it's finest. And do everyone a favor and leave the kids at home.",
"St Louis needs more restaurants like Five Bistro. \n\nFive is a white tablecloth contemporary American fine dining establishment that serves only locally grown produce and locally raised meats. Mercifully, fish is an exception to the local rule.\n \nWhen dinner is the night, I like to take my time, which means a drink at the bar before sitting down. We arrived 20 minutes ahead of our reservation for a drink. Joe (Chef/owner Anthony Devoti's father) greeted us at the door with a beaming smile and offered to seat us immediately, but we headed to the bar. This is a small restaurant. The bar area is directly across from the entrance and there are several tables between the door and the bar. There is a larger dinning room to the right of the bar but the space is all restaurant - there is no separate bar room. The bar tender was a real pro who asked a couple of questions and quickly recommended a wine that Mary loved and drank the rest of the night. Pleasantly, the wine recommendation was not the most expensive wine in the house.\n\nFive is not the only restaurant in town to focus on local food, but no other is so fully committed to local food or does it so well. \n\nI'm always suspicious of restaurants with enormous menus - they can't possibly do all those dishes well. The menu at Five (allegedly changes daily) is manageable and designed for four courses. There were 5 appetizers, a soup with two salad options, 5 entrees (beef, chicken, pork, fish and a vegetarian risotto) with desserts or cheeses for the final course. You are free to order ala carte do a four-course prix fixe for $45 ($60 with wine pairings). \n\nMary and I both decided to do the prix fix. My first course was the fish tasting menu which was excellent and made me feel better about my entree. \n\nMy second course was an amazing trout chowder. Too often chowders are as thick as pudding.

"This is my go-to fast food place. \n\nThe staff is always very friendly. So friendly that it is a little creepy. But so awesomely creepy. One of my friends and I find ourselves drawn to the awesome creepiness of Chick-Fil-A. Also, Chick-Fil-A waffle fries are pretty top notch. (You'll notice that I checked the box for \"waiter service\". That's right.)\n\nHonestly, every Chick-Fil-A that I've been to has been like this. From NJ to NM. I just chose to write about this one as it is the one I go to most.\n\nThe only con to this particular location is due to the construction being done on all roads inside and leading to the Marlton area. But it's hardly fair to blame Chick-Fil-A for that. Still 5 stars!\n\n(I'm the first to review this one? Cool!)",
"Ok ok fast food chain...unusual for me. BUT this is the FIRST time i've ever had Chick-Fil-A ever in my life. So i'm reviewing this one as more of a standard for the whole franchise. \n\nOne Word...Awesome. Since I've never had Chick-Fil-A before, i didn't have much expectations going in. From what i've heard on TV - Chick-Fil-A doesn't open on Sundays and that the owner/founder plans to keep it that way. There are also people who are die-hard Chick-fil-A fans for life, hence why, when i saw one, i needed to go and check it out.\n\nI guess i got the original chicken sandwich, french fries and a lemonade. Lemonade was great - lemony, tangy and ice cold. Perfect for the blazing hot day outside. The chicken sandwich was a fried chicken fillet with pickles - realy good...and the waffle cut french fries - man...i really love waffle cut fries. They taste soooo much better!\n\nEveryone was really nice working there too so that made the enjoyment of this place - awesome.\n\nI will definitely come back to a Chick-Fil-A again, when i see it on the road!",
"Should be 5 stars except for the new thing they're doing...You have to give a name when ordering..they then give you a magnet with a number on it and tell you to sit down so they can bring your food to you. I was the only person at the counter, ordered two spicy chicken sandwiches on a wheat bun and was going to sit quietly and eat them before heading to work. When asked why they needed a name the cashier told me it was \"protocol\", so I gave the name Nostradamus, which obviously I had to spell for the cashier and stood at the counter with my magnet waiting for my food. There was no instruction as to what the magnet she left on the counter for me was to be used for...I guess I was supposed to know when she laid it down what to do. Within a few minutes my food was handed to me at the counter and I sat down. They have these table ornaments with a circle at the top with the word Magnet at the top where you should place your magnet.\nI prefer the older Chik-Fil-A I used to frequent at the Panama City Florida mall I used to eat at in 1982...\n\nThe food is always great..my spicy chicken was hot and flavorful, but if they want to be a sit down establishment, then they might as well have a wait staff come to you and take your order....otherwise let's just keep it a fast food place.",
"Not a lover of their politics or the fact they're closed for religious reasons on Sundays, but when I am in the area, I hit this Chick-Fil-A or the one at the Echelon Mall in Vorhees. \n\nThe usual order is the #1 meal combo with the basic fried chicken sandwich with pickles, a drink and waffle fries. I am neither here nor there on waffle fries, but the chicken sandwich is what I enjoy. The nuggets are pretty good as well. They have 5 dipping sauces I usually get them all. BBQ, Honey Mustard, Chick-Fil-A sauce, Polynesian, Buffalo and Ranch. I like a bit of each of these sauces on a different bite. Seems foolish, but I manage. \n\nAnd it is Peppermint Shake time of year! That's just bonus for me. I never find myself having peppermint anything, but this is like a candy cane shake. Optional whipped cream and a cherry is yours for the taking. I go without.",
"Some of the best staff at any fast food place. The GM at this location is doing a great job. Best Chicken sandwich for fast food there is. Hands down.",
"Unequivocally, the finest fast-food company on the planet. Best service, quality of food and taste. This store is no exception with outstanding service and consistently excellent food. Why not 5 stars? It is fast-food, after all.",
"I'm not saying that I started the trend of having chicken for breakfast but I will give myself credit for introducinng it to my loved ones. Seriously need to try the chicken minis if you've never been here before. Little fried white meat chicken nuggets stuffed in a mini roll painted with a slightly sweetened glaze. AMAZING!!! I can eat a whole tray of these to myself. You come here, you get chicken. That's it. My husbands favorite is their buttery chicken egg and cheese biscuit (not on the menu by the way but just ask for it). The menu is for sausage egg and cheese but you're at Chick-Fil-A so get the chicken. You won't regret it! The biscuit literally disintegrates in your hand. I'm obssessed with the waffle fries as well dipped in their honey mustard dipping sauce. Even the honey mustard is amazing. Just the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.",
"Very polite staff and excellent food! These are the two things that come to mind when I come here. \n\nFood is always good. Have never had a problem with food being cold or missing an item which is a rarity in fast food. \n\nStaff is always polite and respectful. Little things like a smile and a 'thank you' go a long way in the realm of customer service. Having been to plenty of fast food establishments where the servers would barely look at you, the staff here is a real treat. \n\nThe drive thru is always quick and speedy. Drive up at lunch time with a full line. Ordered and got my food in less then five minutes. Pretty awesome!\n\nWill definitely be coming back for more tasty chicken sandwiches!",
"This Chick Fil A in incredible! Friendly staff and great food. They even walk over to your table and ask if you need anything else. I always enjoy eating here.",
"Good fast food! I went there for lunch today. I've been boycotting CFA for years because of their anti-gay stance. Well, today I caved in because there were district managers visiting my office and I wanted to stay away during my lunch break. I ordered the new grilled chicken sandwich. It was pretty good. Since I asked for the combo, I had the diet lemonade drink (and waffle fries). Seriously, this was my first taste of any french fries in over 3 years (seriously). They were delicious but my craving for fried potatoes are now over and I probably won't want to eat fried foods again for another 3 years.\n\nService was fabulous! They take your order, collect your money, and bring you your drink right away. After you sit down, someone brings you the hot food (no tipping allowed). They collect your tray and trash afterwards so you don't have to figure out how to get everything in the trash can without spilling the crumbs on your clean shirt."

"Cromwell's Tavern is an atmospheric, slightly upscale place which is great for lunch. The prices are a little high, but I've always found that the service and food are above average. It's respectable enough for a business lunch. Try the burgers.",
"I love this place! Excellent food, warm and friendly service... quite refreshing in snobby small DE. I can't say it enough, really exceptional restaurant!",
"My favorite spot for miles! You can always count on great food and the prices are impressive. I look forward to the half price wine on Monday nights every week. Give this place a try if you haven't been yet!",
"I just met my Mom for lunch at Cromwell's Tavern and I was happy I had an orange waiting for me at my desk when I got back. Cromwell's is one of the three lunch options in Powder Mill Square (including Brew Ha Ha!) and by far, the coziest. The inside resembles an old library, with leather booths and books crammed into shelves in the wall. The salads could be bigger, but that doesn't stop me from trying them time after time. I was so sad when they took the Roasted Chicken salad off the menu and have yet to find an adequate replacement. Today, I had the Signature Salad (which featured mandarin oranges, strawberries, apples, blue cheese, turkey and blue cheese) and a cup of crab chowder (tomato-based) to start. I am not 100% full, but sated. I will always go back to Cromwell's because I love the atmopshere and the servers. Someday, when I do not have to fit into a bridesmaid dress, I am going to get the four cheese grilled cheese.",
"We went for the first time. Food was very high quality. Way better than BBC. We found it using groupon and will return on our own. My son had chicken wings, which were more like chicken breast. He loved them, and I thought they were great. Staff was very friendly and warm. OUr waitress has worked there for over 10 years. Burger was great, all desserts were homemade. 1/2 price burgers on Sundays. See you Sunday!!!!! Try it try it try it!!!!",
"i haven't been to too many delaware places... but so far, this is my favorite spot\n\nwe came here because my boyfriend had a groupon coupon which was sweet\n\nthey just changed the menu the day before, so my bf ordered the grilled salmon with mango and mint sauce (funky right?) in replacement for their cracker crusted salmon and i got the garlic+clam angel hair pasta, the pasta was exactly as they described. it's cooked with a buttery lemon sauce with the distinct aroma of white wine. nothing was over powering though. there was an awesome balance between the garlic n wine n spices. even though, it's butter based, the pasta didn't feel heavy on the stomach, in fact, after i finished i felt like i had room for more. don't get me wrong, their portions are decent sized which gives you the chance to share an appetizer before or actually enjoy dessert without the pain of a bulging belly afterwards\n\ni visited it on a thursday night and the place is pretty low key and cozy, everybody around is very relaxed and jokes around even with the waiter. our waiter's name was chris, and the service was fabulous --- not gonna lie, the place may seem a tad snobby(?) mainly cause its a well decorated place in delaware and not ny and everybody else in there looked above 30... but chris kept the atmosphere very light and friendly, and he also answered all my annoying little questions about what's good n stuff... bottom line, we felt very welcome even though we were slightly under dressed and i had a great time there.\n\ni would def visit again :) my bf wants to try their fri/sat 3 course special for $19.95 featuring prime ribs n lobster tail",
"I tried this place for the first time tonight. Everything was well prepared, even the vegetables.\n\nThe Tuesday special is lobster. A great choice, even though the tails are only four ounces each. \n\nService was friendly and accommodating. After listing their desserts, I asked if they could make a creme de menthe parfait. The waitress said she had never seen one but would ask. In less than five minutes she returned with the requested dessert.\n\nI will go back for the half price burgers on Sunday, after 4:00.",
"came here again with another Groupon! gotta love these things~\n\nwe went with the strategy i set up after my first visit--- getting an appetizer instead of dessert! So here's batter number 1: crab and artichoke dip!\n\nyummy yummy in my tummy! I could smell it as it was coming over! the dish is hot! coming straight from the oven, the dip is like melted lava but full of flavor. the only thing is that... even though I could smell the crab, we had trouble spotting it in the sea of creamy dip.. we wondered if there was any crab in it... Thankfully, on the last bite, I discovered the goodz :) I'd say it's one of the better artichoke dips i've had in my life. You don't feel like you're eating stuff straight from a can.\n\nEntree: grilled pork tenderloin, scallop salad (his)\n\nI was kinda bias in picking my choice... I saw what the server was holding when I was waiting to be seated and it looked mighty fine. i was captivated by a dish with fluffy mashed potato as the bed. I went for it. \n\nThey got 2 options, either i can get the sirloin with garlic mashed or the special of the day, grilled pork tenderloin. I decided to take a stab at something new and went with the pork.\n\nI felt a little iffy when i first saw it on the plate because it just looked like this burned rock.. I had a rough time cutting it too. I put all my body weight into it and elbows up and everything just to saw it apart which made me even more nervous about the choice that I made. At last the moment of truth, I masticated it by barbaric means attacking its chewiness. But huh~? it wasn't tough at all! BOY, was I wrong judging it by its appearance. It was delicious! The piece of tenderloin was like an inch thick and the meat was so dense, no wonder it took superman strength to cut into it. But well worth it! The meat was actually quite tender in the center. The outer coating was charcoal-ed from the grill. Dip it into the garlic demi glace, it was absolutely perfect! Mashed potatoes were smooth and the pile of broccoli was softly cooked too. Yum, yum, yum, yum~~~~ \n\nIn the end, another wonderful meal at Cromwell. Thank you again. I will be back when groupon offers those coupons again :D",
"Went there on a recommendation to get the Cromwell grilled cheese. It was awesome we will go back. We also ordered the chicken nachos off the appetizers and let me tell you that is a meal in itself.",
"This was a neat place! It is located in a very nice shopping center off 52. The service was a little slow, but it was a busy Friday night. They bring POPCORN instead of bread/butter. Fun idea!! I had the roast beef tip brisket sandwich with an au jus dip. It was awesome! Fun atmosphere."

"This is a fabulous Chinese restaurant. Family owned with the owner preparing all the food. Has take out and sit down services, so its kind of between a take out and a sit down place. It is not a buffet type place but more of a little restaurant where the owner will remember you the next time you come in. He also takes your order and prepares your dinner. The owner loves Frank Sinatra and has Sinatra posters up and Sinatra songs playing amid the Chinese decorations, but that is not the only surprise! The food is excellent, and many dishes have the owner's special sauces, one of which, the \"fragrant sauce\" is addictive. It is both spicy and lightly sweet and a perfect complement to chicken or shrimp. I usually don't like Chinese dishes with beef, but the beef here--which the owner special orders--is extremely tender and full of flavor. The owner prides himself in selecting only the finest ingredients, so you are getting dishes made with superior ingredients and that shows in the taste. The shrimp he uses are huge! Really, this is just a dazzling place on the Northwest side, Lafayette Rd., not far from the 56th St. entrance to Eagle Creek, and it is a hidden gem. If you love Chinese dishes do yourself a favor and stop in.",
"Great food here and service, kinda a one man show at least it was the other night, I go to the Starbucks next door all the time and was hungry so figured would try out the Imperial Palace\n\nfats prompt service here I walked in and the owner took my order then he went back to Finnish the order he was working on and mine also, they both came out at almost the same time \n\nI got the Chicken Low Mien (sp) it was very tasty and made me want more but as I had gotten it to go and was eating it on the road that wasn't a option, but I will b back to try some more dishes for dinner",
"A true Gem. \nFamily owned. The owner obviously is very proud about the food he makes and it shows in the quality of his food and that he remembers return customers. \nUnique in that everything is made to order with fresh ingredients and fantastic flavors that have completely changed my opinions about Chinese food (i did not really like it before eating here). \n\nI have had the Fragrant Chicken, Chicken with Broccoli, and the Spicy Tofu with Vegetables. The dishes all have flavors that are much more complex than normally are present in your everyday run of the mill Chinese restaurant. \n\nPrices are very fair and the portions will not dissapoint.\n\n1 warning - \"spicy\" means spicy! \n\nThe owner makes any visit worthwhile, singing or humming along to Elvis or Sinatra. \n\nI have been here several times and plan on returning several times.",
"I'm really glad to have discovered this place. I've only driven by, oh, 500 times but have somehow never noticed it. I asked Bobby the owner how long they've been open and he said 9 years...! Food was excellent. It is a one man show so it can take awhile if there are several orders in front of you, but the food was worth the wait. For reference, I ordered General Tso's Chicken which was sweet and spicy and my husband ordered Chicken and Broccoli and was excellent. Everything tasted very fresh and I enjoyed the way Bobby interacted with the customers. We will go back for sure!",
"Yup, Yup!\n\nI may change my review to five stars after I've had a chance to visit again. I ordered carryout on new years day (night). We ordered the double cooked pork, beef lo mein and spring rolls. All were delicious. I had to wait a while for my order when I got there as (others have mentioned) there is only one gentleman working. Worth the wait though. He was very kind to both me and my young son...offering him a fortune cookie while we waited. The menu is small and is more traditional tasting than a strip mall Chinese spot. I will be back for seconds. As of now, it's my second favorite Chinese in Indy",
"As the previous reviews great food. Quick service. Small seating area but very nice place. Had the sesame chicken very large portion. Very friendly staff. Definitely will stop again on my way thru Indiana.",
"Went here based on other Yelp reviews... yep, they were right! The food is very fresh and Bobby takes pride in ordering good-quality ingredients. The fried rice is the best I have ever had. The yum-yum chicken is delicious... there is a light seasoned coating that gives it a slightly crispy bite, and not greasy in the slightest bit. A lot of care and passion goes into every dish... my suggestion: if you want carry-out, call ahead - Bobby will tell you exactly when it will be ready.\n\nI would highly recommend this place for a whimsical date... red and white checkered table cloths, pictures of Marilyn Monroe and Sinatra on the walls, and Amy Winehouse music coming from the stereo. Bobby is a natural host, and his food is delicious.",
"The only place worth going for Chinese food in town. The high quality ingredients make the food taste fresh and fantastic, but Bobby is the real selling point here. he runs the place alone with his daughter. I walked in, and it was just him, puttering around in the kitchen like it was his home, singing along to Frank Sinatra. He greeted me by name (I'd ordered over the phone) and took the time to really talk to me. He knew it was my first time in, and asked what I thought. He was incredibly friendly, his food was delicious, and it was very reasonably priced. Don't waste your time going anywhere else. I'll be going back to check his more signature dishes, but his General Tsos and Vegetable LoMein were fantastic, with all the vegetables retaining their individual flavors and not being boiled away into oblivion. I've never had better.",
"Very nice people..obviously a loyal following based on the congenial familiarity of owner and patron.\n\nFood was quite good...fresh and high quality ingredients...reasonably authentic...would have liked more vegetables and less beef...but...I did not mention that, and should have.\n\nPerhaps the server could have paid a bit more attention to the dining room..but..it was obvious they were getting a large take away order ready.\n\nEven though I go to BJava quite frequently...never noticed this place..and were it not for recent yelp reviews...would not have discovered it.\n\nWhy don't these places promote each other in the same strip mall ???\n\nVery reasonably priced...and an excellent overall value.",
"This is definitely a place worth checking out if you're in Indy and are sick of fast food and/or meals over 2000 calories. I come from the east coast, and the food won't be revolutionary compared to what you might find in New York or Chicago. You won't find dishes drastically different from what you might be familiar with. But the service and quality are both excellent and almost guarantee a great eating experience.\n\nThe place is run by the owner and his daughter, but only he was there when my group of five ate there. The restaurant is in a strip mall (as I've found much of the best Chinese food is), and has 6 four-tops and pictures of Marilyn Monroe on the walls. We walked in at 5:30 and it was empty, with one couple dining and two people waiting for carry out when we left. When we arrived the owner/chef/maitre-d/waiter came out to greet us and was very friendly. Its good the place doesn't seem to get incredibly busy, because the owner took our order very personally, asking us about spice level on a scale of 1-10 (with advice) and even engineering our meal a little bit, taking one of our dishes and recommending it as an appetizer, which turned out to be the exact right amount of food. He also made all the food fresh, most of which could be witnessed fairly easily from the dining room to the kitchen.\n\nAs an appetizer we order the Yum-Yum chicken (I don't think there's a proper translation from Mandarin) which was \"their specialty\" (and not on the menu), a very good crispy chicken dish with what tasted like a light hoisin sauce, similar to what's put on Peking duck but not as thick. One of the people in my group ordered a wonton soup, which was also surprisingly good (as in, better than that which I get from my local take out place that I love). For dinner, we had Spicy Tofu with Vegetables (one of two vegetarian options on the menu, although I'm sure the owner could work with vegetarians to come up with more options), Singapore style Meefun noodles, Singapore style Beef, and General Tso's chicken (for one of my less adventurous friends). All the food was very high quality. A review on the wall explained that the owner can order especially good meat and maintain low prices because of the non-existant labor costs. The Meefun was definitely the best dish of the night, having a more mild but very flavorful taste and full of chicken and shrimp. The Singapore chicken was also great, which was slightly sweet. The tofu was the spiciest thing we ordered (we told him an 8 out of ten for that) and didn't disappoint. I didn't get a chance to try the General Tao's chicken, but it was finished very quickly.\n\nAll in all, we had a great eating experience, leaving a big tip. If you're looking for any food in Indianapolis that isn't thoroughly unhealthy or thoroughly North American in origin, I would definitely come here for a change of pace."

"This is a new sit down burger joint that popped up in Meridian. I was curious about what made it so different from all the other ones that are out there. It has a fast food feel to it, but you can sit and relax without the feeling that they want you to eat and get the heck out. I ordered a 1/2lb BBQ, bacon and cheese burger and something called smash fries. These are regular fries but they are coated with olive oil, rosemary and garlic among other herb. They were actually very good. I would highly recommend that you give these a try. Definantly are better then regular fries. The burger ended up being HUGE. I enjoyed it but was not able to finish it all. This is a pretty good joint, I would recommend that you give it a try. Only problem is that they do not have a drive up window at this location. Not sure if any of ther other ones do.",
"My Classic Smashburger was good, and I don't like burgers unless I'm ravished! But the kicker for me was location and the fries (both times were cold). Compared to Five Guys, it's a go as far as the burger is concerned, but it definitely didn't blow my socks off.",
"All I have to say is...Sweet Potato SmashFries. I can die now.",
"Ok, here is the deal. I just cannot give a franchise five stars. For a franchise the burgers here are great. WAY better than other fancy burger franchises. \n\nI have not had every burger yet but, so far have not been let down yet. \n\nIt is a little pricey for a burger but worth it.",
"Smashburger has SUCH good, juicy burgers! So good, in fact, that I may never get to try their chicken. I mean, why order chicken when the burger so clearly rocks!?\n\nI was a little apprehensive ordering my first burger with the multi-grain bun, but it was soft, fresh, and delicious! Okay, so I'm eating a huge burger with fried sides and soda... at least I can make one little healthy choice. :)\n\nEverything came out exactly as ordered. Even when the restaurant was busy on a Saturday at lunchtime, our food came out faster than we expected.\n\nThe french fries are on the thin side, and were cooked nicely both times we ordered them. Dad's choice, the haystack onions, were much better than I expected. They were very thin, delicately breaded onion \"rings\". Hot & tasty. Based on their success with sides, I plan to try the veggie frites (with fried asparagus, green beans, and carrot sticks) and the sweet potato fries on future visits.\n\nThe root beer float, as you can see in one of the photos I took, was served with scooped vanilla ice cream in a frosty glass accompanied by a bottle of root beer. Very nice! As a big soda drinker, I appreciate the soda fountain available for customers to refill drinks. I also liked the 'to go' cup so I could take some soda on the road.\n\nOne thing that brings Smashburger up a notch from Five Guys and other \"burger\" spots is that the staff is so attentive. Despite the counter service, employees were regularly coming around to make sure everyone had everything they needed.",
"I guess it's called Smashburger cause they press the burger patties while cooking on the grill. I had the bacon cheese burger and it was a juicy with a lot of flavor. They have real ice cream shakes. The smash fries are good with the rosemary taste, but a little too salty for my taste.",
"I am a big fan of Smash Burgers and this one is one of our favorite stops when traveling through Idaho. The burgers are juicy, fresh tasting and good condiments. Smash fries are very good also. The restaurant is always clean and well bussed. The wait staff actually came around and asked how our meal was. Haven't gotten to try other items on the menu as the burgers are so tempting.",
"I only ordered a grilled cheese with mushrooms and swiss, but it was truly magical and delicious. My dining partner from Chicago, ordered the Chicago Hot Dog and swore it was better than any dog she has gotten in Chicago, it even had the celery seed. The regular fries were rosemary and salty goodness. We both paid less than $10.\n\nIf I lived closer, I would be here often.",
"This is hands down the best place in the city for a burger. Yes, I said it. \nFive Guys can't even hold a candle to Smashburger. Five Guy's uses little more than Kraft singles on their burgers, whereas Smashburger uses REAL cheese. The menu here is varied and has all sorts of clever ideas, such as a burger all ready adorned with potato chips. \n\nMy latest trip there was greeted with a Bronco Burger, a bleu cheese burger with Frank's Red Hot Sauce. I was appreciative of both the clever name and fantastic flavors.\n\nThe fries are equally impressive. Their sweet potato fries set a high standard for fries in this city and at a great price. The seasonings really help to draw out the natural flavor of the potato. \n\nThis is my favorite place in Boise to get a burger.",
"The burgers here are fantastic. Very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The toppings really compliment the burger. The only thing that was subpar...the french fries were not good. The burger is so good you could forget the fries."

"Pretty disappointing. Typical bar food. The wings were good and so were the fries. The chicken tenders were just GROSS! The grilled zuccini had a \"smoked\" flavor that just made me want to hurl. When I ordered a gingerale I got a sprite with a splash of coke...which I just don't approve of. If you don't have ginger ale tell me you don't have ginger ale! My husband's burger was pretty uneventful. \n\nAlso, when we were seated they asked if we wanted to sit in the smoking or non-smoking section. When we said non-smoking they sat us right next to the bar...like five feet away from a smoker!!! UGH!!! Don't sit the pregnant woman have tons of other empty tables open! \n\nThe ladies restroom did not have warm water no matter how long I ran the tap. I would only recommend going here for drinks and maybe wings.",
"Fairly decent food in a very noisy place. Most of the options are pretty good, especially the pizza. The mashed potatoes are of the boxed variety, which is inexcusable. For lunch, the veggie sandwich is hard to beat. The layout of this place is no good - the bar is in the same room as the restaurant, which makes the place VERY loud when it's busy. This is the best pizza in Belleville hands down!",
"I used to be a bit more of a regular, and I am a local. Personally, I love the food and the steaks are great considering the prices. Lots of nice specials... Like the staff, pretty friendly although a little too comfy and laid back sometimes. They lack urgency and drinks take a while to come out. You can't beat it for this side of town or the price though. I have had very few bad experiences here compared to the 50+ good ones.",
"I enjoy coming to Fletcher's for lunch. \nI teach at Lindenwood's Belleville campus, and my associate and I frequent Fletcher's.\nWell, we come here a lot, just cause it's so good! \nThe service can sometimes be a tad slow, which is why I only gave 4 out of 5 stars, but the menu and friendly staff makes up for it!\nTheir hamburgers are simply fantastic!!\nAnd I really love to get the Red Hot Chicken Wrap. So spicy and so tasty!\nI also have tried several of their appetizers and have not been let down!\n\nOut of all the restaurants I've tried in Belleville, Fletcher's is by far my favorite so far!!",
"Fletcher's is easily the best restaurant in Belleville. \n\nThe steaks are excellent, and so are their unique pizzas (shrimp, sausage and mustard? Awesome).\n\nMonday nights are one of the best nights to visit thanks to the $12 steak and martini deal. Each other night (except fri/sat) boasts some sort of food or drink special that is worth checking out.\n\nBurgers: Fletcher's has won best burger for a reason.\n\nBeyond the food, Fletcher's is a great spot to stop in for drinks. Whether it's a date night or a night out with the gang, you'll find a friendly atmosphere and rarely have to battle a huge crowd for a drink.",
"Well, the \"tad slow\" service which I wrote about in my previous review, coupled with the fact that Fletcher's has removed its \"Crazy Rice\" from the menu are the root causes of me downgrading the establishment to a 3.\nIt's still a nice place to come, but: it would be better with Crazy Rice!\n(also new from previous post: now that I've tried more restaurants in Belleville, Fletcher's is no longer my favorite.)",
"For some reason, this place carries sound like no other and is unusually loud. The four of us came in for dinner and we could barely carry on a conversation...and eventually we gave up trying. The temperature in there was also unusually cold.\n\nThe food was pretty good. I had a chicken caesar salad and the chicken was BBQed which put me off a bit, but it was good. My other dining partners enjoyed their food. Service was amazing...our server was really on it!\n\nI was between 3 and 4 stars, but asked myself if I would go back and my answer is no. If I could talk to my dining partners and not freeze, I would definitely go back. So if you like a cold and lively environment (seems like an oxymoron?), you will enjoy this spot!",
"Food is decent, but the service is awful. I had the sirloin special which was a pretty good value for the size of the steak and the price. Garlic mashed potatoes were great. Quinoa salad could have used some more flavor. They messed up my wife's order, so they comped her entree. Another person in our group ordered the pizza and it looked great.\n\nThe place was busy, but was emptying out quickly as we were seated so I don't know why the service was so bad. The waitress took a long time to bring the drinks and a long time to come back to take our order. It took a long time to get our food as well. Once dinner was over, it took about 15 minutes to get our check, another 15 for her to pick up our credit card, and another 15 to get the copy to sign. In all, about 45 minutes just to pay and get out of the place.\n\nThe couple we were with commented that the only thing wrong with this place is the slow service. This was our first time here and they had been here several times before.",
"There are not many \"vegetarian-friendly\" restaurants in Belleville, but Fletcher's vegetable pie is my go-to when I want something tasty nearby. Most places have a couple of iceberg lettuce salads on the menu and they think they're catering to the non meat eaters, but Fletcher's actually has things besides salads that don't have meat. Pros: it's not a chain, the food is better than most places in Belleville, they have a bar with nice bartenders and a back room you can rent out. Cons: the parking lot is a cluster and it's loud inside.",
"I love Fletcher's. We have only been in the area for a year and so far it is my favorite restaurant. Yes it is loud in there but that has only been an issue for us when there are children not being watched. The food is amazing, they have something for everyone there, even REAL vegetarian options, not just 'here's one of our salads without the meat'. There staff is also friendly. I would go there again and again!!!"

"Nestled in the heart of Hyde Park, this coffee house is an absolute gem! Located in a darling little (what seems to me, 1920's maybe?) house, Java not only serves a fabulous cup of joe but offers a charming atmosphere (including in AND outside seating). Frequented by many in the historic North End neighborhood--this place is bustling with energy, as on any given weekday morning you will find North Enders casually gathered for a little neighborhood gossip over coffee (while I was there, the people sitting next to me were discussing some construction being done in the neighborhood and before I knew it, three other tables and a guy in line were all in on the discussion). \n\nOk...ok...let's get down to business...because, though the décor may be darling, the service fast and friendly, the patrons amusing, and the location incredible--that doesn't mean a lick to this caffeine junkie if the coffee isn't stellar! Which, thankfully it is! Their coffee is certified organic and absolutely marvelous. I generally order their skinny caramel mocha, which never fails to delight. They offer an array of baked goodies, all made from scratch with organic ingredients whenever possible. They also have a limited menu of café style breakfast and lunch items. I didn't indulge in the baked goodies the morning I went, but I did have an egg croissant, which was decent (their eggs are \"steamed\", which I'm not sure of...they have a bit of a strange texture to me). The person I was with, however, ordered their eggs Benedict and was wowed.\n\nOther notes: Their prices are a bit higher than other places in town (I paid over $4 for my mocha), but it was far better than many other places in town. Their breakfast items WERE a bit overpriced in my opinion. Oh, and a quick note with regards to their mochas: They use a Mexican chocolate for their mochas, which I absolutely enjoy but tastes very different than your standard American, or even any of your European chocolates. You CAN opt for a more traditional chocolate, you just have to ask.",
"This place is always packed in the mornings, especially when the weather is nice. The bowl of soul is amazing, as are the breakfast items. You can't beat their breakfast croissant or oatmeal! :)",
"This is one of the best coffee places I have been in. While in Boise my niece took us there and everything about this coffee house is charming and they have great coffee, you have to try the bowlofsoul. The staff and the food are excellent. I can't wait to go back! I just wish this was near my house.",
"They have some great food options at the one in Hyde Park. Great place to chill and have a drink...maybe a quick bite to eat too.",
"I love Java! They are in the perfect location right next to camels back park. They serve wonderful coffee beverages and homemade pastries that are always fresh and delicious.",
"Just driving through and found this gem. Great coffee sandwich and cool place to hangout",
"Good food and good coffee despite the higher prices.",
"Love the coffee and drinks as well as all the kicking' employees. Place is awesome!",
"I came here for breakfast. Before I get to the food I'll just mention for its size It has ample room on the deck outside and seating inside as well. Also, it was free wi-fi.\n\nOnto the food. I ordered a bacon and egg croisant and cinnamon toast. Unfortunately, the person at the register wasn't listening closely and decided to serve me up a cinnamon twist instead. I was too tired to let her know. The twist however wasn't that great. It was a tad bit dry. The egg and bacon croissant was awesome. The eggs were tender, the bacon was savory and not to fatty, and the croissant was buttery and soft. For the prices paid for each plate, they were great portions.\n\nNow onto the bad part. There was a ungodly amount of flies just floating around the cafe. It was odd that nobody else found that strange or tried to do anything about it.\n\nThat being said, I wouldn't let that ruin my desire to come back here again in the future.",
"Came here with my roommate at the time in college when I took a little va-cay through Idaho to help move back after the summer. We met up with some friends of hers in the area for breakfast.\n\nHad breakfast (nomm-tastic) and the BOWL OF SOUL! It was love in a cup. I will be back if I am in Boise :)"

"****New Location***** Best Tacos in Tampa They are now located in a Red Food Truck at 7venth Sun Brewery 6809 Nebraska Ave \n\nSo excited for their move now we can drink yummy beer and eat tacos \n\n(S/N thought I'd save you all some gas that way you don't accidentally go to the old location and be sad )",
"I've been looking for a taco place that has tacos made with HANDMADE tortillas & I FINALLY FOUND IT!!! Plus, Xtreme's tacos DIDN'T break on me (; Their meat is seasoned perfectly. Not to mention, their limes were soooooo juicy!! Horchata drink was good too. I also ordered a quesadilla to try it; it was okay. Definitely couldn't finish 4 tacos & a quesadilla on my own. \n\nRecommended tacos: 3. I suggest you take that recommendation because as you can see in the pictures provided, the tacos are stuffed with plenty of meat to fill you up.",
"The tacos were good but nothing to get crazy over. Saw the other reviews so we decided to check it out. Great service and we didn't have to wait very long for our food. So all in all I'd say it was a win.",
"My cousins always talk about this place so I finally went and definitely wasn't disappointed. I ordered three tacos and a side of Xtreme corn The buffalo shrimp and carnitas one was amazing , the shredded chicken one was ok. I would go back for sure .",
"We've visited Xtreme Tacos a half dozen times now. It's extremely busy on the weekends. We've learned to call ahead for our order. The seating is minimal, maybe a few tables inside and a few outside. My son LOVES the buffalo chicken quesadilla; it's all he gets. The standard is a corn tortilla for the tacos. I like both the extreme (loaded) and the Tijuana. We've tried the shredded chicken carnitas, and fried fish. All were excellent. The chips and guacamole are amazing and a must have. My husband swears by the burrito with the shredded chicken. \n\nThe only issue we've had is being disconnected on the phone.",
"This place has a really great atmosphere and delicious tacos. I couldn't believe how many people were buying tacos. It was very authentic and the toppings were full and delicious. They also have a couple cute cool things on the menu.",
"Pretty decent toco place. Wasn't wowed but the combinations were different and delicious. Would love more of a fresh taste.",
"Food truck heaven! There aren't many food trucks here in Tampa and I'm glad I discovered this one. Xtreme is nestled outside a brewery and serves handmade corm tortillas. I was hesitant as I am not a fan of corn tortillas (I've even had them in Mexico) but the attendant convinced me to give them a try. This was an excellent suggestion! I had the blackened grouper taco and fried portobello mushroom taco, they were delicious. The grouper was well seasoned and the mushroom was crispy and flavorful. The wait time is quite long but well worth it. I look forward to my next visit.",
"Note! Its no longer at the address listed here. Its a food truck parked a few miles down the road at 7eventh Sun brewery (although they do travel so call ahead 1st). \nThe menu is large so it was hard to decide. We ordered a few different things to try and split and everything was perfect. First, loaded. Get everything loaded. You want the beans, the slaw, the pico, the guac...all of it. We had the tostada with carnitas, buffalo chicken nachos (ton a nachos!), shredded chicken taquitos smothered, and a cup of elote (roasted corn with chipotle and mayonnaise, Im sure its terrible for me but its sooooooo good). \nReasonably priced, fresh, delicious, and super friendly staff. Im going to stalk them on Facebook and beg them to bring their taco truck to DTSP sometimes.",
"We have an awful lot of places named Xtreme this or that, don't we? None of them turn out to be especially Xtreme, however.\nThis food truck is no exception. It churns out ok tacos for hungry hipsters full of beer, but they are not huge or tiny, or the best or worst.\nI tried a couple of extreme tacos which is the second of three levels of tacos offered. What I got were a couple of fairly filling dinner bites, but I did not feel dizzy or overwhelmed by greatness. The chorizo and the pork Al pastore were loaded with cheese, pico de Gallo, avocado, queso and sour cream, I believe. The soft tacos were plain flour.\nMy companion ordered two chicken extremes. Then two more later.\nIt took over 30 mins to get the first round on a taco night at a local craft beer place, Circa 1949 in Seminole Heights. However, it didn't appear that busy, so I'm not sure why so long. They maybe cook everything to order? No idea. But the meats seemed like they'd been around awhile.\nIf they'd come out in about 5 mins , which is what you'd expect, I'd give it 4 stars. \nAnyway, you won't go wrong. But you may not feel Xtreme afterward."

"There's no true king of pizza in newtown square/ broomall area. Each have their own little perks. I like this place because of their fries. Nice thick steak cut fries.",
"Love it!!!\n\nI think they have the best pizza in the Metro-Philadelphia Area. Any time I'm remotely in the area(Broomall, Springfield, Villanova, etc), I try to go buy and buy a pie!",
"I am a huge fan! When you want something in the middle of thin and deep dish - this is it! This place delivers and has around 2/3 tables when you want quick food that does not taste quick. \n\nThe prices are great and the food delicious! We ordered a pepperoni and sausage pizza and a gyro. The gyro meet melted in my mouth it was so tender and the pizza was amazing. We ordered a large so we could have leftovers the next day.",
"Best take out I've had around this area. Always good and fast. Pick is quick and so is Delivery. I no longer try new places everything I have ordered from here is great. It just seems like they put in that extra effort and that's what I like most.",
"We've been going to Newtown Pizza consistently for 7 years. Their food is great, and the icing on the cake is that their prices are very hard to beat in the area, and we have yet to find someone who can beat them. \n\nThey are our takeout steady for burgers, gyros, and stromboli. We are not big pizza people though we've tried their pizza and it's definitely decent. I can't get over my love affair with their cheeseburgers to try anything else. Hubby has had the fried chicken, cheesesteaks, hoagies, chicken fingers, salads, etc. (most of the menu), and all is very good food. Fries are steak fry style, so they're bigger, but come out normally nice and crispy. (None of that batter-dipped yuckiness like at fast food places.)\n\nAlso, you will always get at least what you pay for, usually more. The amount of food they give is a lot better than places with comparable or higher prices. I get a cheeseburger deluxe there with a load of fries for $6.75 (I always ask to sub a kaiser roll for the bun, and extra fries for the slaw and they give me the same price). It is my go-to meal when we don't feel like cooking, or are in the mood for a treat.\n\nThe staff is friendly and courteous. They have worked hard to earn a great reputation, and they deserve it. We have seen it transition to different owners and somehow the people there always stay decent and kind. We are very grateful to have this place so close by. \n\nLOVE Newtown Pizza.",
"I've ordered from nsq pizza about 3 times I ordered either a pizza, wings, or French fries and every time I ordered every thing would be so undercooked. The 2nd & 3rd time ordering I said to cook everything well done and each time was so undercooked never ate any of it. Each time I ordered delivery at night and not even in 15 mins after I hanged up the food was already here. This place is awful idk how they conduct business during the day but do not order at night!! You've been warned",
"Great people, fast delivery, fantastic food. New favorite place!",
"So happy you are now open on Sunday!! Best Gyro and Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak we've had in a longs time. Fast delivery too!!!",
"New to the area and used grubhub for some delivery.. Order a pizza and a salad after reading their stellar reviews! The food came and I was shocked to see that the pizza had slid the edge of the box and was completely destroyed on the one side.. Considering it was half plain and have Hawaiian it was a little sad :( However the salad was AMAZING!! We reheated the pizza the next day and it was also delic.. I would definitely try them again",
"Solid pizzeria. I like fresh basil but they do not have it once a while. Otherwise, this is a solid four stars."

"Great American Italian classic dishes at affordable prices. Very friendly and timely service, and a clean dining room. What more could one want in a neighborhood restaurant? This place just opened and you can tell they are really proud of their business ad care very much about their customers as well as their feedback.",
"I have been back 4 times - the crab cakes are the best you will find this side of the Chesapeake! These guys know what they are doing when it comes to food - a must try!",
"Outstanding! This is our second time here and it's just as good as the first time. You MUST try the Crab Pretzel. Sounds crazy but it's definitely worth trying. The first visit we didn't get the pasta as our meal but decided to get it as a side with the Rosa sauce. I could have kicked myself for not getting the pasta as my meal it was so good.",
"Truth is, I wanted to give it 4 1/2 stars. The only reason is that tonight they got hit with a rush that caused the kitchen to get backed up and service to be slow, which would normally get a response on Yelp. I'll give them a pass on that for now. \n\nThis place is starting to generate some serious word of mouth in the area. Several people have told us to try it here, and tonight we did. The specialty of the house is crab cakes. Now, I've had Baltimore crab cakes more than once. These are as good as any crab cakes I've had in Baltimore, maybe better than some. Perfection! \n\nThe overall experience... very nice room, it was busy on a friday night at 7 but there wasn't a problem getting a table yet. Service was friendly, although slow due to the rush that they got. The wife enjoyed her blackened chicken salad. Mom loved the crab cakes too. The breadsticks are addicting. The side dishes were a little basic. You got a dish of vegetables that looked like something you might get a diner, but they tasted better than that. \n\nThis place has very serious potential, and I think they're going to get a lot of people about to come in to try it out, so they better be ready for more rushes.",
"I've been to Rigatoni's a few times now and wanted to be sure of what we were reviewing. Rigatoni's has some positive aspects and is an overall serviceable restaurant but not somewhere I'd look forward to visiting or make a point to go often.\n\nFirst the good - Crab cakes are very good. They are large and loaded with backfin meat. Not too much filler and a single cake will fill you up. The salad that come with the meals is fresh and has a nice light Italian dressing. Breadsticks are not too bad either. I really enjoyed my side of onion rings as well. With the entrees the portions are large (sometimes too large) and mostly fresh ingredients.\n\nThe bad - Menu is loaded with heavy pasta dishes or the crab cakes. There are steaks on the menu but at the higher cost and quality of the rest of the meal, I didn't feel justified in trying them. The \"fried mozzarella\" was cafeteria style sticks that were still cool when they were brought out and they were very greasy and heavily breaded. Lasagna was full of more cheese than anything and I could barely find it buried under a giant pile of very chunky and somewhat bland sauce. They have a few combination platters but they don't offer substitutions. Solution to this is to split 2 dishes between 2 people as the giant portions are often enough for more than one person.\n\nOverall service is decent and friendly. There is a bit of a wait from ordering your food until it is served but I prefer to not be rushed and with appetizers and salad and breadsticks this is just fine. Its BYOB so that is always a plus as well. For a reasonably priced meal but nothing special, its a good place to visit.",
"This is a new gem in the Prospect Park area. We have had dinner there several times (5+), and everything on the menu is excellent. With one exception... don't get the crab dip appetizer. But everything else has been perfect! Crab cakes are out of this world.",
"My mom had a couple of good experiences at Rigatoni's so she picked it for her birthday lunch. On this particular visit, I'm hoping that they were just having a bad day.\n\nWe ordered potato skins for an appetizer, they took forever to arrive and they were burned. We couldn't even cut or bite through the potato skin and a good portion of the inside of the potato was burned. We decided not to cause problems by sending them back. \n\nIt seemed like a very long wait before the salad was brought out. For my meal, I ordered penne with alfredo and they brought me fettucini. That kind of stuff really ticks me off. I ordered penne because I didn't feel like spinning pasta on my spoon. I'm not sure if it was the server's error or the kitchen. The portion of everyone's meal was big and almost everyone left with a container of leftovers.\n\nThe complimentary bread sticks were good. The restaurant itself appeared clean. I can't give it any more than 3 stars for now. Perhaps if mom drags us back there and it's a better experience, I may be able to upgrade my rating.",
"I was at Rigatoni's for the first time tonight. Theportions were hugh. I had the crab cake and it was delicious, but the vegetables could of been cooked more. There were 9 in our party and the service was slow. I don't know if maybe our waitress was new. I noticed that our waitress read the specials off to the table next to us but never bothered to tell us of the daily specials. I made one suggestion to the hostess when I was leaving about their menu. It was a dark red menu with black print. It was very hard to read.",
"Best crab cakes anywere , im addicted.Love the stuffed pretzel!!!",
"I usually don't order steak in an Italian restaurant, but so glad I gave it a try. Had the 8 oz. filet with crab cake and will honestly say it is the best steak I have ever ate outside of the city. The crab cake was also very good . Jumbo lump crab. The portions are overwhelming and the prices are affordable."

"Got a great salad today, a lot of food for the price. The frozen yogurt was also really good. Can't wait to go back and try more.",
"Plus: Great Concept: Custom breakfast, lunch or dessert under one roof.\n\nPlus: As a certified pickEone, I respect any effort toward customization and variety. Not only did Fresh allow me to have breakfast at lunch time, but I also chose every element which went into my meal.\n\nMinus: There were elements of the cereal choices which eliminated vast sections of the menu. Once I saw Lucky Charms under the cold section of the menu, cold cereal was out! I could buy an entire box of poison... I mean...commercial cereal at the price of one bowl.\n\nPlus: The staff was friendly. They accommodated my questions and permitted me to sample ingredients before adding it to my Monkey cereal. Per the menu, Monkey cereal included steel cut oats, banana, brown sugar, graham bites and syrup.\n\nMinus: As a real food advocate, I was disturbed by the \"syrup\" they would have incorporated into my Monkey oatmeal. This \"syrup\" was not the wholesome, flavorful maple syrup, but the formerly HFCS's newly improved, steal your life-force, genetically modified beet sugar, imitation maple syrup. I passed on the syrup.\n\nPlus: I allowed them to put the graham crackers (with hydrogenated oil, ugh) into my oatmeal. Much to my surprise, they slowly dissolved and complemented my oatmeal with the annoyingly large, chunks of fresh banana.\n\nConclusion: Fresh, is worth a go.",
"Large salads; Good concept. Everything made fresh apparently even the dressings. Can even customize your own salad. Also can get Panini. Have not tried the breakfast bar yet. Lots of cereals.",
"I was looking for something to eat downtown on a Sunday. There isn't much open. I found this place on-line and it seemed interesting. They have a huge variety of salads, panini sandwiches, soups and cereals. There is a huge selection of designed options or you can choose to make your own. Everything is made right in front of you and you may add and subtract as you wish. At least 30 salad dressings and around 100 options for salad ingredients alone. They have soft drinks made with real cane sugar and natural flavorings. My wife and I left very full and wishing that there was one closer to our house. We will definitely be going back again next time we go downtown.",
"Food is very good and veggies were very fresh. Salads are very good size for the money. Love all the options on the menu or create your own. Service was fast and friendly. Will be back again to try breakfast.",
"I don't give 5-star ratings often, but this place deserved it.\n\nI had the \"Thanks\" salad -- which consists of oven-roasted turkey, hickory-smoked turkey bacon, potatoes, roasted corn, and sun-dried cranberries.\n\nThere's a different station for cereal, salad, soup, sandwich, etc. That way, if you just want a salad -- for instance -- and a bunch of other people are there getting sandwiches, you don't have to wait.\n\nThe prices seemed reasonable for the quantity/quality of food.\n\nI'd go back again.",
"I discovered this place by accident and at first it seemed weird to me. Cereal bar, yogurt, salads. Huh? I'm glad I was feeling adventurous and tried it. I'm going back, which in the final analysis is the best recommendation I can give for any restaurant.\n\nSalads seem to be their specialty. They have an extensive menu of predefined combinations, or a build-your-own card with what seemed like a couple dozen (at least) ingredient choices, from different types of lettuce, cheeses, cranberries, walnuts, chick peas, and the list goes on. As a first timer I decided to pick one of their menu combinations called \"The Pita\", with grilled chicken, chick peas, cucumbers, feta cheese and tzatziki.\n\nThe salad was huge, fresh, and delicious. Word of caution though - their \"grilled\" meats are served cold. They graciously offered to heat my chicken up, so they get kudos for good customer service, but if you are expecting smoldering meats on top of your salad, look elsewhere.\n\nThe selection of dressings is amazing. I tried their honey Dijon (not to be confused with Dijon honey, difference being the first ingredient in the name dominates the flavor) and it was good. I didn't count them but they had more than twenty varieties of dressing.\n\nCoke and Pepsi fans will be disappointed. They sell a natural cane sweetened (diet available) soda that tastes - well, weird. A good weird though, just different. Being a Coke Zero nut I found I could get used to it. It's sweeter than Coke Zero and has a different sweet tang to it. \n\nI also tried their frozen yogurt with toppings, and it was also very good. They have soup, an extensive selection of yummy looking sandwiches, omelets, and a breakfast cereal bar (looks like a sushi bar, but with cereal). Like I said, weird, but I found the concept works just fine.\n\nI'm giving it four stars because the food was good, and because I'm going back to try the sandwiches and some different salad combinations. Service was good, place was nice and clean, so what else does one need? Coke Zero would be nice, but given the \"fresh\" and natural concept they are selling, I guess I can do without. \n\nIt's open 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm. If you like fresh salads in an infinite number of combinations, this is your spot. Stay tuned for commentary on their sandwiches...",
"After several visits I've decided to give Fresh 5 stars. I've tried their panninis, the omelet, and the yogurt. The panninis are delicious. They toast the bread crispy and stuff them full of goodness. Saturdays and Sundays are BYOO (Build Your Own Omelet) day, and they are huge! They are served with toast, potatoes, and a tiny muffin.\n\nThe food always seems fresh, and the variety of choices is great. If you make good decisions when ordering you can definitely build this into a Weight Watchers friendly lifestyle. And if you feel like being naughty, you can always ask for an extra bit of feta or hummus with your order!",
"My company orders lunch from Fresh at least once a week, and we love it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the set up. The ordering process is really strange. They have a separate line for ordering panninis, salads, fro yo and soups, and it can get really confusing.\n\nThe food is always \"fresh\", and there is a huge variety for vegetarians and meat eaters. Plus they don't give you a hard time about customizing your order to your liking. Try the bavarian bread when ordering a pannini!",
"Elaine said it best on Seinfeld...\"It's a salad, only bigger, with lots of stuff in it.\" Fresh has HUGE salads with oh-so-much stuff in them. While I can only vouch for delivery, I was impressed. Great menu with at least 15-20 different salads, or just create your own. I'm a firm believer that if there's tzatziki on it, I'm a fan."

"Everyone there was super friendly and we were greeted when we enter and they said goodbye when we left. I had such a great experience here. It was a whole lot of fun watching them make the ice cream from scratch and watching the liquid nitrogen vapor spew out of the industrial mixers they use while they make it. It was so delicious overall a must stop when your in the Chinatown area. Dessert is great at any time of day right!",
"Have a great experiences from coming here. They greeted you was a nice smile and feel really welcome. They say thanks when they give you the ice cream and goodbye have a nice day at the end. The ice cream were really creamy and rich like I can't get tired from eating it. I highly recommended here after your done with your meal. Overall, this place have spaces to stand around while there's a big crowd and there decoration make it feel like home.",
"A nice little addition to Chinatown. The place is very nicely decorated, bright and clean interior with colorful furnitures. There are a good amount of options to choose from and the price is very affordable, about $7. The flavor is similar to other ice-cream shops in my opinnion so I was a bit disappointed. I thought the ice-cream would have some smoky effect like nitrogen ice-cream but it was just normal kind that one can find at any ice-cream shops. This place has lots of potentials to be better, plus this is a recently opened business so I will keep my mind open and give this place a second chance. In addition, they also accept credit card payment but you have to spend at least $10. On the other hand, the staffs are friendly and welcoming. Since this is very near Bonchon, if you are in the area and craving some desserts (ice-cream perhaps) after dinner then do check out this place.",
"Visited from Boston and stumbled across their soft opening. Candice (spelling?) helped me out in explaining what an Eskimo Kiss (cotton candy nitrogen balls) was and even when I made a mistake in my order she was happy to fix it for me! \n\nThe nitrogen balls taste like captain crunch, but be warned /!\\ it is to be handled with caution. Make sure you read the do-nots before you eat them. \n\nWe also got the green zest ice cream with chocolate and strawberry flavor shots. The ice cream is on the sweeter side rather than bitter in case you were wondering. \n\nDefinitely a place worth trying!",
"Very decent ice cream place. It's cool to get to see them make ice cream with liquid nitrogen. Make sure to bring cash. Otherwise though, I'm not super impressed by the ice cream, so I'm giving this place a solid 3 stars for being an average place. Also, the toilet seat had lots of urine splattered across it, so make sure to keep the bathroom clean!",
"This is the newest kid on the block in Chinatown. The idea behind it is using liquid nitrogen to freeze the ice cream. The murals/drawings on the walls and decorations are very cute, such as the a drawing of a thermometer on the wall explaining how the liquid nitrogen works. The ice cream is served with a plastic syringe (no needle present, not to worry!) filled with a sauce, like caramel. I got the green zest b/c I love my green tea in any form. Because it was the first day N2 opened, it was just 5 bucks. (Apparently normally it's 7 bucks, which is still pretty affordable.) The seating is a bit limited - just a couple of days and a sofa with some easy chairs. If you're lucky, you'll snag the sofa or the easy chair. The one drawback in my humble opinion is the taste. My taste buds couldn't really differentiate the difference between this ice cream and regular ice cream with toppings. As a whole, affordable, innovative, and cute - just not that different from regular ice cream in the taste department.",
"This place is awesome. We ordered the Green Best and the Eskimos Kiss. It is delicious and so much fun to eat and see the smoke come out of your mouth. It is also cute place to take pictures and check in. We came at 1 pm so there was no line but right after we finished order, the line started. The customer service is great. We will come back next time we are in town.",
"I've been to places in California so I was very excited when a nitrogen ice cream place opened up in Chinatown. However, it was NOT what I expected at all. I got the strawberry flavored nitrogen ice cream, and it was way too sweet and artificial. My boyfriend and I took one small bite and threw it out. For the price and the time it takes for your order to come out, definitely not worth it. I'm giving 2 stars because the interior is cute with lots of seating.",
"This place is what I would call a food experience. But to be fair, I didn't try the ice cream, so I'll update my review when I do.\n\nThe best part of the cotton candy Eskimo kisses was playing with the nitrogen. That is essentially what you pay for, $6 for the allure of playing with the gas. They literally pour nitrogen gas into a cup full of cotton candy flavored balls that they purchased from a store. They don't even make the balls. And you would think it's cold or thought it was ice cream, right? It's not. \n\nOne star for the beautifully decorated place and another star for the friendliness of the staff.",
"I love N2 Sweet Coffee! I almost come here everyday and have a strawberry bomb plus Eskimo kisses! This place looks very nice and is the first nitrogen ice cream store in Philly!"

"Grand opening today. Great to have in T n C. \n\nThe staff is friendly and efficient. The hostess fantastic. The power breakfast sandwichs' are tasty and below 500 calories. \n\nThe egg, cheese and ham power sandwich only 340 calories.\n\nIf in the area this place should be on ur list. \n\nRemember this is their first day and they hit a home run with me,",
"Brand new location and it's fantastic! Great service and food--their bakery selection of fresh breads and pastries is wonderful.",
"The location is new and beautiful but the food wasn't fresh the two times my family Went there. I usually love Panera and I was excited to have one soo close. I wish the quality was better. The food was replaced but even the replacement food wasn't good.",
"Panera is a well-known national chain serving pastries, breakfast sammies, and baked goods with coffee, tea, and cocoa in the mornings; and then soups, salads, and sammies with more baked goods later in the day.\n\nThis particular Panera Bread has opened in Town N Country along Waters Avenue and adjacent to the Veteran's Expressway. You'll find Panera in a space that was formerly a Mexican restaurant, and then an Asian buffet, and finally torn down and rebuilt from the dirt up. Panera sits right in front of Lowe's, and in the same shopping center with Chick-fil-A, Target, an office supply store, and everyone's favorite place to get your driver's license and auto tags renewed.\n\nSince they tore down the previous structure, Panera was able build from scratch, to include a drive-up window which makes this place super convenient if you want to pull-through to get a bite to eat or a quick drink.\n\nThere's also a private parking lot just off of Waters, and you have your choice of eating inside at booths or tables, or outside at their patio café tables. There's also a section with lots of seating for people who want to use their free WiFi while studying, chatting with their friends, or doing a bit of business work.\n\nI had a smoked turkey panini with a cup of French onion soup, and happily chomped away while catching up on some emails. This will quickly become a popular breakfast and lunch spot for me.",
"Panera Bread is usually a good alternative to the stereotype fast food restaurant. They offer a wide assortment of sandwiches, salads, soups and a wide variety of baked goods. They are also open for breakfast offering jot sandwiches, muffins, coffee, tea....\nI have been twice now once for breakfast and once for lunch. I must say both visits were very underwhelming & disapointing. I felt like I was revisiting yesterday's food on the lunch visit. On the breakfast visit, I should have at least checked my order before I left, as the cheese was missing. But, even with the cheese missing, there was no seasoning and overall no flavor.\nThere is no reason to go on with this depressing review. I guess I might try another location, but with a large chain like this, I really don't see what the difference would be. The pastries & goodies looked and smelt sinfully delicious, but I did not try them. Did I mention, I feel they are overpriced for their mass produced food?\nWhat's a girl to do? Keep experimenting with new restaurant's till you are satisfied.",
"Yes this is a chain joint, and yes that may mean they microwave their stuff, but honestly its so tasty i don't really care sometimes....but mostly i come here to study. This is a great place to meet up with friends and get some studying in together. Quiet environment with good lighting and food/drinks when you need it. \nIts always clean when i come here and it always smells good. The worker here are nice and don't get in the way of my work. \nAll in all good place for coffee, food and friends.",
"Let me preface this by saying that Panera Bread is usually one of my favorite restaurants. I've been to this location twice since it opened. The first was on their grand opening when corporate was still there, so to judge it from that would be misleading. However, on my most recent visit I was a little disappointed. \n\n Panera always has small portions and normally, I'm fine with it, but this last visit to this location I felt robbed. There were two of us and we both got the you-pick-two. The salad was less than a handful of lettuce, chicken, and toppings and the cup of soup was half of the cup it was in. A quick look around the room showed that it seemed like everyone's portions were smaller than usual. \n\nThe quality of the food was Panera standards, I just felt as though they weren't giving adequate portions in comparison with other Panera Breads that I have been to.",
"Panera with a drive-thru! I rarely eat \"fast food\", but this was the closest to work with the healthiest options. I ordered the power chicken salad with hummus and was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered the large, with hopes to have the rest for a snack later. No chance. The portion size for a large salad, for $9.00, was really quite small. The salad and hummus were great though.",
"I absolutely love Panera, however, this is one of the worst I've ever visited. I probably eat there AT LEAST once a week. I love the yummy salads and sandwiches, and of course, the baked goods! However, my last few visits to this Panera were so disappointing! My orders were either missing items or I was given incorrect items. I usually don't say anything, but the last time, I actually went back inside to pick up my missing food. Big mistake! When I returned to the place, the entire staff walked by snickering and laughing! I left feeling not only hungry but so humiliated! I have always thought of Panera as a pretty decent company but what happened to focusing on service? I sadly won't be returning to this Panera ever again.",
"I have been going to this Panera since it opened here at this new location and every time it has been a pleasant experience. The staff is very friendly, they always get my order right, and the service is pretty quick so you're meal is right out. They even have a drive thru at this location which is convenient when you're on the go. The location can be be a bit of a hassle to get to due to high traffic coming off of a busy section right off of Waters Ave and the Veteran's Expressway, so watch out for that lunch and breakfast craze or rush hour coming home from work!\n\nBacon Turkey Bravo all the way!"

"THIS PLACE IS AWEFUL! The owner is a jerk! I planned my daughter's 4th birthday there and they canceled on me 4 days before the party, with invitations already sent. The owner hung up on me and said we are not doing it. \n\nHow could a place do this to a 4 year old! Terrible!",
"My daughter and I happened onto this place while out for a walk and we loved it. The boutique drew us in and the super friendly management asked us if we'd come for lunch and though we hadn't when we saw the beautiful former greenhouse they had turned into a tearoom we decided to try it. The food was eclectic and delicious and served beautifully. We had two soups, an appetizer tray with salmon mousse and smoked salmon and lots of lovely tidbits, carrot cake and two lovely pots of tea. The tea menu is extensive and choosing one is difficult. This is not a take out sort of place and defiantly not for 4 year olds. This is for ladies who lunch. As a lady who loves lunch I'll be back.",
"Go to this place for the decor, not the food. A couple of our party ordered the French onion soup. The flavor was good, but I am presently going into sodium induced anaphylactic shock. I also got the chicken pie. This dish more closely resembled a large clump of barnacles broken off the bow of a Liberian registered tanker. I have never seen chicken, carrots, and potatoes so tightly compacted, it was remarkable. The moistness rivaled Baghdad in August. I cannot describe the flavor because there was none. Another of our group had the vegetable panini, it was described as having no seasoning. It looked like a large clump of fall covered leaves with a greasy coating slammed into a panini press. If you want to enjoy the decor order a cup of tea and eat somewhere else.",
"Waited next to the sign that said 'wait to be seated' for nearly 10 minutes. No one said a word to us. No eye contact. The general manager walked by us and didn't say anything. They had tables open, but what seemed like a large party of people but there were servers wandering about not doting on the large party. I was disappointed in their clear lack of customer service. It's not great for a new business. Good luck if you go, it might have great food...but I wouldn't know unfortunately.",
"I bought my mother a gift card to MaryAnn's Team Room based solely on my having seen the breathtaking, Victorian greenhouse-esque setting--and the fact that she loves tea. \n\nThe other day, I decided to \"screen\" the place to see if my mom would enjoy the actual tea and desserts offered by the place. Everyone in our party was more than impressed. Our server was knowledgeable about nearly all of the teas on the extensive menu and was patient with a very indecisive group. I had eaten lunch already but still had some room and so I ordered what turned out to be a huge, flaky, and delicious croissant. Thumbs up.\n\nWith the caveat that I haven't tried the lunch offerings yet, what I can tell you is that MaryAnn's is an exquisite environment for a relaxing afternoon with some tea. The attached store is quite beautiful as well. Highly recommended for all tea enthusiasts. I'd go soon, before all of the charming Christmas decor is taken down!",
"Delicious onion soup. It's like the old Famous Bar. I had the chicken salad. Very good. And yummy carrot cake with a pot of the blueberry merlot tea rounded it up to a perfect lunch with family. The place looked amazing. I love the old greenhouse, gorgeous. You have to try it. Our waiter was wonderful.",
"I recently went to Mary Ann ' s tea room on New Years Eve with my mother and a her friends. We had a great time. The drinks were delicious and the crab bisque was amazing, I wanted to for go all etiquette and lick what was left in the soup cup! We sat and chatted for two hours and no one made us feel rushed to vacate our table for other customers. Our waiter was kind, efficient, and patient. I will be returning with my friends to try the chicken pie!!! I do wish they had just a couple more cocktail options.",
"I took a friend to MaryAnn's to celebrate her birthday, and we were blown away. You walk into a beautiful boutique and then back to the prettiest restaurant under a glass dome roof--like an English conservatory. The table settings are lovely, and our lunches were exceptional. I had the salade Nicoise, which was the best I've ever had. The greens were fresh, the potatoes were perfectly cooked, and the dressing was on the side and added a wonderful flavor to everything. My friend had the chicken salad and the wild rice soup, which she said were wonderful. I had the Key lime cheesecake, and she had chocolate, chipotle cake (I forget the other ingredients), which were both rich and satisfying. We will definitely be back. Oh, service was professional and friendly, but not too friendly ... just perfect. Lunch entrees were $12 to $16. It's not pricey if you want great food, beautiful surroundings, and memorable service.",
"So..I'm so torn about this place. Perhaps it's because I've been to many other tea houses both domestically and abroad. So here are the pros and cons. You can make up your own mind should you choose to go:\n\nPros: Great, well-rounded collection of teas. The staff was excellent. The greenhouse it's located in is beatiful. The pot pie I ordered had a delicious crust, and the dishes the food is served on is simply stunning. You can tell a lot of love went into this place. The potential for it to be great is RIGHT THERE...alas...\n\nCons: The place seems to have a bit of identity crisis. There's just too much going on and nothing done that well. I honestly don't know if the decor is supposed to be Modern French Chic (the bright pink wall says so), Victorian (the advertisements say so), Edwardian (the beautiful dishes say so), or Greco-Roman (the statues say so). All of it fitted with Queen Anne style furniture. I think there's also a fountain and a flat screen television and a piano! The food was a bit bland, and truly over priced for what we were getting. Most of the desserts simply didn't \"go\" with tea (sorbet?). \n\nOverall, I was hoping for a cute place I could walk to with friends to have a cream tea, or dessert and a pot of \"Prince of Wales,\" or even a soup and sandwich that is better than what I could throw together at home - but it isn't there yet. I sincerely think, that if this place really tightened up what it wants to be, and nailed down some solid signature dishes and desserts this place could be *amazing.* Truly. Here's hoping!",
"Yeah this place was amazing! My daughters daisy troop brought their mothers here for tea. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable but still was very patient with the young ladies. They went above and beyond. The decor was perfect for a tea room. Many reviews said the decor was busy. Not so very fitting. The girls had preordered treats for our tea party. Little scones were awesome. The baked brie was even better. The tea list was exactly what I was looking for, not all black tea and a mix of everything. They have a menu and the food from the other patrons looked amazing but everything was preordered so I only saw the tea menu. Price didn't seem to unreasonable. \n\nI will be back. This is a perfect spot to take the ladies and enjoy."

"Since Chipotle is relatively new to St. Louis, and since nearly everyone I know insists on comparing this place to Qdoba...I feel compelled to explain why Chipotle, in my very humble opinion, is better.\n\nFirst of all...their chips win, hands down. They are lime salted and just amazing. On the down side, they don't have nachos on their menu, but seriously, get a naked burrito and chips and bam...nachos...\n\nOk...seriously, other than the chips, I don't see much of a difference. The food is fresh, it's not anything that will knock you off your feet or anything, but it's certainly tasty, and it's cheap for the amount of food you get, and it's certainly one of the better stuffed veggie burritos in town. \n\nIf you want a real treat, and you like things spicy, get all the salsas, and the pico de gallo on your burrito...it will make it way over stuffed, and give it the flavor I always feel like my burritos are missing.",
"I am sort of stumped - I don't know why I like Chipotle so much but I do. \nI get the veggie burrito bowl. \nI make better black beans at home. I make better guac. The rice isn't exceptional. However, something about the combination of the three unremarkable things becomes something quite tasty indeed. \nSo, a recap: \nok black beans + ok guacamole + ok rice = deliciousness\nI think I just came up with some new math. I am liking this new math.\nHere's another formula I just worked out: \nfood math - numbers math = awesome math",
"Chipotle is like gourmet fast food for us college kids! Skip the greasy fries and burger, or the boring deli sub. Grab a chicken burrito bowl, add rice and black beans, slap some guac and salsa verde... my golly my parents would be thrilled to know I'm eating healthy AND organic! \n\nThere are different varieties of meals a person can \"customize\" at Chipotle. They have anything for burritos, salads, tacos, burrito bowls (burrito minus the flour tortilla), and a new one to me, quesadillas. Your meat choices range from beef, chicken, barbacoa (sp. shredded beef), and carnitas (raised pork) as well as black or pinto beans. If you're a pansy, you can opt for tomato, corn, or green salsa - but if you're hardcore like me, you can get red chili salsa that would have your tummy grumbling an hour after ingestion (you didn't hear it from me, kay?). \n\nDon't get the misconception that they're trying to portray an authentic Mexican fast food - because it's far from it. It's the yummy modern approach to convenient food that StL needs, and I will go as far as saying it's better than their *competitor*.",
"Chipotle has come a long way since being owned by McDonalds. Prices have gone up a little, but the quality is usually there. This location is mostly reliable. I've eaten at many chipotles, and there is real tangible variation from location to location. This one seems to be the front runner in the St. Louis area. The chicken and steak are usually fresh, and without gristle. \n\nI prefer chipotle to Qdoba, because I think with a chipotle burrito you can taste the difference between the different mixings in the burrito. At Qdoba, everythins tastes like the same stale cheesy sauce. Chipotle has fresh ingredients, and I think it really comes across in taste, and presentation",
"I believe this is my first 5-Star review. \n\nFirst, I have to say, I grew up on Chipotle in Denver. I know a few things about them. I believe I've been to just about every Chipotle in Denver and St. Louis. A slight exaggeration, I know. The first Chipotle on Evans in Denver used to be my neighborhood spot. Anway....\n\nThis location is fantastic. Everytime I go in here I get greeted with friendly faces and enthusiastic attitudes. Everyone here seems to really enjoy being here. I find that refreshing.\n\nOnce here I needed some Tobasco (Green). The manager just gave me a whole, unopened bottle. It was amazing. I know, it's a little gesture, but it made my day. \n\nAnother time here, I had gotten my order, made it through the line and realized I had forgotten my wallet at home!! Right, now what?? The kid told me to just take it and have a great day. I was thrilled by the generosity. Luckily, I found a twenty I had stashed in my car, so it worked out for everyone.\n\nGo to this location. I moved into the city, so now Clayton and U-City are my frequents, but I still go to this one everytime I'm on that side of town.",
"OK...the food here is great, but the serving size is large. I would give them five stars if they also offered smaller servings and a price to match.\n\nI typically get a burrito bowl, either grilled chicken or steak. It's just easier to eat than a tortilla packed with a lot of great stuff falling all over the place as you wipe off your face and hands over and over again. Some folks may like the tortilla, but for a quick, easy to eat lunch...I recommend the bowl.",
"Long overdue! I love Chipotle! Organic all the way, extra yummy and I'm saving half of the calories anything from Qdoba will get me. This particular location is rather small but I have to hand it to them, lunch hours will have a line out the door, so rain or shine how hungry are you? This is a popular option for lunch at my job and they're always quick, get you in and out. I have heard mixed reviews about the order online option but bottom line, when you're making your own bowl, i doubt online is going to achieve that perfection on what you were trying to put together.",
"Ugh, I am leaving for Mexico tomorrow and my diet went out the door as soon as I entered this place. I ended up getting my favorite, the chicken tacos and let me tell you, it is heaven to my mouth. Always perfect and delicious!",
"I had tried them one time and will probably be my only time though. They were kinda over priced on their items. The seating area was very small and crammed in there. I have experienced way better at other places, I read reviews and heard from others it was a good place so I thought I would try it and well it was just Eh...",
"Oh, Chipotle...how I adore you!\n\nI come here for lunch WAY too often, and I always get the same thing: a chicken burrito. \n\nThe portion size is HUGE, and it's delicious and filling. What more could I ask for? The line here gets a bit long around lunchtime, so come during off-hours if you're in a rush.\n\nI would give Chipotle 5 stars if they offered nachos (like Qdoba). Other than that, they're perfect!"
