"It's outback. This location has gone through several managers, but the service and food quality seems to be getting better finally.",
"I think the changes to Outback menu have been well welcomed. There are some great new items like the Teriyaki Filet Medallions, Shrimp en Fuego Fettucine, Honey Dijon Chicken & Alice Springs Chicken Quesadillas. The consistency in quality of food and orders on the money! we will be going back more often now.",
"We've been many times to this Outback restaurant. They have a great service staff and the food is decent, but the steaks are often not done as ordered. Our top complaint is the lighting at the tables. It's a bare bulb with a shade that does nothing to keep you from feeling like you are being interrogated. I seriously leave this restaurant with spots in my eyes. I'm 6'0\" and that is not tall enough for the light fixture to block the direct light from my eyes. A simple change of light fixtures could do wonders for the atmosphere.",
"This particular location has been hit or miss, mostly miss in our experience. From closing well earlier than posted, to bad service, and poor food preparation. We'll see how they do tonight.\n\nSadly it wasn't much better. The onion was overcooked in old oil as it often is. Some people love the salads, I feel they're just ruffage, no leaf, mostly hearts. By far the bread was the best part of my meal. The steak wasn't horrible, but it wasn't noteworthy either. Just a plain piece of meat grilled not quite but close to the correct temperature. Princess's meal was sub-par as well. It doesn't exactly make you want to come back often or at all when you spend $55 over a meal.\n\nI agree with Greg W about the lighting his review concerning that is \"spot on!\"",
"My family ate at this restaurant on Saturday 30 Jun. One pasta order was cold and under cooked; prime rib order over cooked, and my 13 oz WoodFire Ribeye was so badly chard the only flavor was an overpowering taste of mesquite. Not a good visit. The server was concerned but no one else cared.",
"Family Chrismas Eve dinner went very well. Food was good as expected and the service was very good. Will definitely return in the near future.",
"Better than average Outback...I always have standard fare of the special and a blooming onion.",
"My family went there for mother's day, As usual they always have a good steak meal super service",
"Consistently good. We've never been disappointed with either dining on or carry out.",
"4-7 pm happy hour prices are great! 4 bucks for the Wallaby Darned drink which is one of the best drinks I've ever had. \nI went here with my husband, sister and sisters boyfriend. We actually got seated right away which rarely happens here but it took almost ten minutes to even get acknowledged! \nAll three of them enjoyed the steak and crab legs which they said were amazing. They recommended them and raved about coming back for more. I had the chicken and mashed potatoes which was as good as usual. I like this location because its always got short waits and great customer service. I cant really comment on the prices because its a chain and the same everywhere. I will go back as always!"

"Let's be honest, this concept for this neighborhood is amazing. There is nothing like coming in and getting a fantastically priced meal and awesome service. \n\nWhile I loved the place is was before (SoWe) this new creation is nothing but the best. Where else is this city can you have an amazing steak crafted for $19? These steaks are on par with anywhere else in this city full of overpriced and over complicated steak houses. \n\nDon't forget to try their brunch. They we're known for their brunch menu before, but now it has everything you really need for a fantastic meal without the over complication. \n\nAlso, Tuesdays with Jamie for quizzo, you really can't miss with fantastic specials and great entertainment! \n\nGo and check this new incarnation of a fantastic place to eat and hang out. You surely will be happy and enjoy your meal and time here.",
"If you love steak (and what crazy person doesn't?), then you will love The Strip Joint.\n\nThis new restaurant in the Graduate Hospital / Southwest Center City area of town gets so many things right. The food is excellent. I had a NY strip steak that was very generously portioned and cooked perfectly. It was a close your eyes and say \"mmmm\" experience. Loved it. The French fries here are delicious, crispy, and well seasoned. The house salad that comes with all entrees is just the right size and is topped with julienned veggies that elevate it beyond your typical side salad. The steak tartare is awesome, tasty, and different from your standard bar food fare. Finally, the dessert options are mouth watering.\n\nThe prices here are right on. You can get an appetizer, a salad, a steak and fries, and dessert all for $35. It's like restaurant week here every day. Seriously though, there is nowhere else in the city that you can get a steak dinner of this quality for only $19. You get the quality of a Center City steakhouse with the prices and convenience of a neighborhood gastropub. It's just a phenomenal deal. \n\nThe service is friendly and enthusiastic, and the new decor is a much welcomed addition. This restaurant straddles the line between casual and sophisticated, and so it would serve as a great environment for a romantic date, a birthday dinner, or a graduation celebration. But it's also informal enough for a relaxed weekday dinner.\n\nI was a big fan of Sowe back in the day. It went through a lot of changes tweaking things but what was always consistent was the amazing food. The Strip Joint carries on that tradition, but with STEAK. I haven't tried the new brunch menu yet but I hope to soon. I will be returning here, soon and often.",
"Visited this restaurant for the first time. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. The decor was warm and inviting. Its not loud and rowdy. Definitelt family friendly. The waitstaff were very friendly and our waiter was a cutie pie. He definitely earned his tip. On the plus side. The food was delicious, well seasoned and reasonably priced. You can get a New York strip steak with fries and a salad for $19.99. We added two vegetable sides which again were cooked to perfection. The creamed kale and spinach was creamy but not watery and very flavorable. The roasted brussel sprouts were divine. I am always in awe of anyone that can grill vegetables without burning them. Mine always come out either undercooked or totally scorched. On the negative side: the vegetables were $5 an order. Still not too bad when you think about the total cost of the meal. Also if you want any kind of sauce with you steak it's an additional $2.00 per sauce. I had the house sauce which was a cream based whiskey sauce. Delish!! All in all I would definitely go back.",
"In every city I visit I look for the local places. The corner bars and hidden little restaurants that are known only to the locals. They are the true gems of any city. Philadelphia has a stunning new gem.\n\nThe Strip Joint has chosen a niche that I have not found in any other restaurant. Superbly chosen ingredients, fantastically prepared, at a price that will make you question your sanity (In only the best ways). It is a steakhouse that can easily be compared to the best in any city.\n\nThe space, formerly known as SoWe has been transformed into The Strip Joint. The decor brings to mind an older time, when a place known by this name would be a man's place; deep reds, soft gold, weighty greens, woods, and slightly muted lighting. It is certainly no boudoir but the tone is there. They carry the theme through the menu as well, with headings like \"Teasers\" and \"The Main Stage\", \"lil' on the side\" and of course \"Happy Endings\" fun.\n\nThe menu choices are as stripped down as the name implies. They keep it simple and do each of them right. Period. A short selection of appetizers from musslels to stuffed balls. A simple list of entrees that includes your choice of sauces (included in the price). The selection of 6 different side orders (added to the meal ala carte) is simple and excellently chosen.\n\nDo NOT get me started on the dessert choices...yet.\n\nEverything is carved, cut, baked, or prepared in house.\n\nSteak tartare - buttery and balanced with crostini and peppadew.\nStuffed Balls - surprisingly done marinara sauce (gravy for the Italians among you) light and well touched with basil and parmesan. The smoked cheese buried inside was a delight when it snuck into my third bight.\n\nSalad - a nice perfectly sized pile of mixed greens with cucumber and carrot case, with a light coating of a white balsamic vinaigrette, flavorful and just right.\n\nThe Steak Maison - a 10oz coulotte cut, cooked to perfection, a perfect blue rare. Tender and crusty and flavorful. I added the Signature Sauce a soft creamy dijon based sauce that fit well with the crisp seared edges of the meat. All served over a bed of perfectly sliced and cooked shoe string fries. When so many places are serving some sort of frozen, flavor coated potato substitute it was a joy to taste a perfectly done french fry.\n\nI also sampled the filet with the Sweet & Spicy Horseradish sauce. I find that it is easy for a filet to lack flavor and it is not one of my first choices of cut, but this one was a impressive; full of flavor, and, again, perfectly prepared. The sauce however caused my eyes to roll back into my head in sheer pleasure. The balance of sweet and spicy was exciting. The texture of their secret ingredient was evident (you have to go taste it and ask them for yourself, its really not a secret but you have to taste it).\n\nSauteed Wild Mushroom - full mushroom flavor complimented by the herbs. Excellently done.\nSpicy Fried Pickles - a young, house pickled cucumber was sliced, fried in a tempura style batter, and served with a slightly spicy dipping sauce. I had two minor issues with this side. First, I would have liked just a little more spicy to the dish, but then I like things hot. Second, they are too tasty, I wanted an order twice the size! A great dish.\n\nAnd the desserts. A choice of 4 decadent \"Happy Endings\" and house made ice cream or sorbet; certainly NOT an overwhelming list, but still almost impossible to make a choice. I am a sucker for anything key lime done well, so the Key Lime Cheesecake was my immediate choice. It was light, creamy and just the right amount of key lime. Exceptional.\n\nAdd to all of this the value, yes, value. The price of the salad, steak, and fries is $19.99. That alone would have been a beautiful meal. The wine list has no bottle over $30.00 and the house wine, Steakhouse Red, is delicious. Simple, balanced, and a perfect wine for this amazing little place, and at just $8.00 a glass, truly appealing.\n\nThe missing piece is usually service. In this case it is not missing. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, creative, and smiling. Who would have thought making a virgin mojito would be possible with no mint, but Kollin, the bar manager created something delicious, basil instead of mint...great work Kollin. Jamie, the waiter, was fantastic. He knows his stuff, he engages his guests, and he is smiling the entire time. 20% is not enough for service like this.\n\nTaking someone out for a great steak dinner just got better and The Strip Joint is the place to do it. \n\nhttp://phillystripjoint.com/",
"Was looking forward to trying this concept as I was always surprised by the good food and so-so service at SoWe. The decor is nice, warm, intimate, and \"sexy\" (which is what they are going for with the new concept).\n\nThe food\nThe fried pickles were heavily battered and thick pickle slices. I always prefer a nice crunch and a thinner slice.\n\nThey were out of\nBurger on the menu, was a new blend and new topping\nFish - delivery did not come\nCheesesteak\n\nWe split the Steak Maison and 6oz Filet.\nThe salads were good, nice white balsamic dressing.\nThe Steak Maison had excellent seasoning and came with a sauce\nThe Filet was disappointing. For a filet, it has no seasoning and almost no taste. It was also pretty gristly and tough even for medium (which was more like medium rare)\n\nThe fries were good. The brussel sprouts were roasted but not as well done as I would have liked. They were also seasoned and a bit sweet.\n\nThe service was nothing special.\n\nDrinks were 20% on our bill and there was a good selection of drinks.\n\nLove the neighborhood spot, has potential, but I do not see myself returning. There are plenty of other better food spots in the neighborhood. Plus, if I want a steak, I can go elsewhere with much better quality for a small premium.",
"The Strip Joint is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. I like that they are trying to bring a new concept to the area. I was super excited to see a FULL HOUSE, including a full bar, when we went on a Friday night. New, neighborhood restaurant that busy 2 weeks into business? AWESOME! \n\nIf I could give 3.5 stars I would, but I'll round up to 4. Our server was very nice and friendly. We started with a round of drinks (lots of selections, and all wines are under $10 a glass and $30 a bottle). We had the steak tartare as an appetizer. The flavor was very good, but we found the steak to be too coarsely chopped for our liking. I was glad it wasn't like pureed cat food, but it was a bit too...chunky. But still refreshing and tasty. The salad was okay...the dressing was quite yummy, but I wish it had been mixed into the greens rather than drizzled on top. \n\nOur main course took a really long time, and after a while our server game over and told us he had been \"instructed\" to give us a round of drinks on the house. Great customer service! Our main courses included the strip steak, 2 steak maisons, and filet mignon. Three of us ordered medium rare, one medium plus. Unfortunately, only one steak came out medium rare. My steak mason, which was sliced up (so the color was obviously visible in the kitchen) was definitely medium well. Great flavor on the steak, but it was overcooked (for my liking) and tough (our server said it would be really tender...it definitely wasn't). The fries were delicious, as was the signature sauce. The cheesy garlic bread was really yummy, but SUPER buttery (and therefore gross to pull apart with our fingers). I wish they'd fully slice it up. The brussel sprouts were excellent. Bananas foster bread pudding for dessert had great potential, but it was cold in places and the bread pudding itself was extremely overcooked. The sauce and bananas were tasty, but the bread pudding itself was no good. \n\nWe were there for about 3.5 hours (about 30 minutes at the end when we were just chatting) so it definitely wasn't a quick meal. I don't recommend going if you're in a rush. I think their comparison to Ruth's Chris quality is a bit of a stretch...but their prices are much better than Ruth's Chris, too. I guess I'm bummed because for a restaurant that focuses on steak, our steaks were the most disappointing part of the meal. But check it out for yourself...really intimate environment, good service, and great prices.",
"I'll start by saying that SoWe was my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, so I may be jaded a bit, but I can't understand why people feel the need to change something that isn't broken! The only reason Strip Joint gets two stars from me is because of the bartenders(who are always really friendly and cool), and the mussels are still good. Besides that it sucked. Waitress was unfriendly, new menu restrictive and uninspired (what of it they had in stock...half the menu was 86'd when we were there a week after it opened), steak was not even close to the correct temp (ordered medium well, came rare). SoWe had great atmosphere (which is still intact with Strip Joint) and amazing, creative dishes...the best grilled cheese I ever had, Vietnamese Pho-inspired french dip! It was great, and they had to change it. Oh well, maybe it'll be like New Coke, and they'll go back to Classic when the new concept flops.",
"We found this restaurant during Valentine's day when Branzino turned into a s*** show. The host greeted us by the door bc I called ahead and got seated right away. Our waiter came quick and provided us with specials on drinks and food. We ordered a bottle of wine for $30 which was pricey for the brand of wine we got and it didn't come till we got our salad. We finished our salads and waited a bit, that's when our mussels with bacon came. It was a yummy dish, just a little salty bc of the bacon I think. We waited for a few minutes for our order. We ordered the surf and turf (Brazilian lobster + steak maison) and it was good, I think the sauce is what made it (ask for extra on the side for your fries that comes with the meal). The food didn't come for awhile, we waited for about another 15 mins for it. We didn't order dessert bc the couple next to us ordered and didn't get it for almost 20-30 mins!! Overall this place was good and priced appropriately; will have to try their brunch but food can be faster please..",
"Wow! This place was great! Where in philadelphia can you get a whole strip steak, eggs and French fries for $12?! The steak was perfectly seasoned and perfectly pink! The fries were great and had just enough salt! The eggs however were requested over easy and came over hard.. I honestly didn't mind too much bc the steak was so good...\n\nMost importantly.. THE BLOODY MARY........ Hands down one of the BEST that I've had EVER! I think I make a pretty good bloody (secret weapon mud) but this was amazing!! Again the prices are so good! $4!! \n\nDefinitely recommend checking this place out! Will be back for dinner!! \nGreat job!",
"Talk about hitting the mark.\n\nFood: Strip steak is legit, with a big portion of quality meat, well cooked, and for a way affordable price. Not to mention it comes with a fresh salad with good dressing studded with pepadews of all things, and truffle frites with bits of parsley through. You'd think at these prices and quality the little things would give, but no, they've got the little things down too.\n\nDrinks: Cocktails same as food--healthy pours, great ingredients, and good combinations, at a great price.\n\nAmbiance is on point, and service at the bar was attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful all the way through.\n\nAll in all, great spot to lounge away a night, and great addition to the neighborhood."

"I have to start by saying that I'm a HUGE fan of Amigos in Kirkwood. When I saw that Amigos was opening a sister restaurant in Webster Groves that is closer to my house, I was so excited. Amigos is the only Mexican restaurant that I will drive across town for. Great quality, consistent and hands down the best margaritas in STL. \n\nOK here goes my initial experience at La Cantina: \nFor being new, the restaurant was packed. That's normally a good sign but they may have been overwhelmed for such a large crowd so soon. \n\nIt took us awhile to get greeted and a drink order placed. Overall I was not impressed with the menu. Very small and limited. I didn't see too much on there that was exciting. We ordered the queso fundido along with steak and fish tacos. The tiny bowl of queso came out and was pretty basic, nothing special. \n\nSeveral times servers came to our table attempting to drop off another table's guacamole, shrimp tacos, you name it. Servers were totally confused. Our order went to the table next to ours and they didn't figure it out until after they were finished. \n\nAs far as the tacos, a big disappointment. When I order tacos, I expect they'll be assembled for me when they arrive at the table. If I order fajitas, then I'm prepared to put together my meal. La Cantina's tacos came out with just tortillas and a bowl of steak. That's it. Have fun! Same with the fish tacos. Bowl of fish and tortillas. Have fun! No sides, no sauces, no anything. And it was more expensive than Amigos where they assemble your food and give you all of the fixins'. \n\nAmigos works because they have a big menu and a variety of options, capable servers and consistent quality. \n\nMargaritas are still outstanding at La Cantina but for $8, they should be! \n\nI hope they transition to be more like Amigos or they won't last long for sure.",
"My family and i were, at first, had decided to go to Rigazzi's for supper ( which i think we still should have) But my family adores this neighborhood and wanted to try this place. It was nice weather when we went on Saturday. We sat outside. Our waiter was all right, not much of a personality. It took forever for them to bring food but when they did, the food was decent. I had ordered a spicy barbequed shrimp dinner with rice. It wasnt bad at all. Rice was mixed in with corn and little peices of peppers and whatnot. But for some reason this place, the atmosphere seemed soo blah to me! I really couldnt get a good feel. So, if it makes any sense, food was decent but there isnt much to write to home about. The only thing they could work on is personality.",
"Amigo's is one of my favorite restaurants, so I was hoping this was going to be a winner. Unfortunately it's not. \n\nI was confused by the menu, some items are tapas sized portions, some are not. But the items of different size portions are mixed on the menu. We had to ask for help to figure out the menu. \n\nWe had chicken tacos, the chicken was barely warm and very dry. Also had the chimichurri and it was cold, this was more tapas sized. The third item was the mini burritos. These were good and warm, and we're served with beans and rice. Unfortunately the beans were barely warm also. \n\nFood had good flavors, but the quality of the food wasn't very good for the price. Had to try it, but probably won't be back.",
"I had one of the worst dining experiences here that I have ever had. The service was TERRIBLE and they were not accommodating at all.\n\nI came on a weekday for lunch with some friends. Their lunch menu was pretty limited and for someone with a gluten allergy, there were only two options prepared as is that would be safe to eat. I was surprised because usually Mexican restaurants have lots of options for those who are gluten free.\n\nMy friend tried to order one of the quesadillas without onions, and they told her they wouldn't do that, that everything on the menu comes as is unless someone has an allergy. When it came time for me to order, I informed the waitress of my gluten allergy and asked if they could just make me cheese quesadillas on corn tortillas instead of the flour ones on the menu as I couldn't eat those. I've done this at several other restaurants and never had a problem with this before. She said she wasn't sure if they could do that or not but she would check.\n\nA few minutes later, either the chef or the manager (not sure who he was) came out and starting lecturing me about how that \"is not a quesadilla!!!\" and how it wouldn't work. I'm well aware it's not how normal ones usually are, and trust me I'd much rather eat a flour one if I could, but I do know it's possible to do. I ended up just ordering the enchiladas instead since this was becoming a big ordeal.\n\nA few minutes later, the man came back with a plate of one cheese quesadilla that was probably 4 inches in diameter and said \"see I told you it was small\" in the rudest tone of voice. My friends and I were absolutely flabbergasted by the way he treated us over something I cannot control.\n\nJust in case you were wondering, the definition of quesadilla is \"a tortilla filled with a savory mixture, folded and usually fried.\"",
"I have been to La Cantina twice now and loved my epxerience both times! When you walk into the resturant it is very warm and welcoming. It has a modern southwest villa feel to it. My husband, step son and I were in a few weeks ago for dinner right after the newest menu took effect. The menu had a great variety of dishes to choose from and after a few minutes of looking and a few suggestions my husband and I both had the fish tacos, and my step son had a cheese quesadilla. We were told by our waitress, Chelsea, who was great, that the tacos would come by themselves so we ordered the queso to start with. We found that it was the perfect amount of food, and we actually ended up having to take the xangos dessert home for later. All of the food was fantastic! As far as the drinks went, my husband had a margarita which was one of the best margaritas either of us have ever had and I had a blueberry mojito which was refreshing and a great summer time drink! \nAfter our great dinner experience I took my daughter and her best friend again last week. This time we tried the bistec tacos, which were really good, the meat was warm and tender and had a nice bit of spice to it. We also tried the queso fundido, carne asada tacos, and one of the spicier shrimp botanas. Everything was excellent, the food came out fast, and our server, Rodolfo made sure we had everything we needed the entire time we were there. I also want to comment that the entire staff seemed to be very friendly, and everyone sitting at the tables around us seemed to be enjoying their experience as well. Overall the service was great and the food and drinks were fantastic both times. We are definitely going to make this place a weekly treat!",
"Finally a great place to go for dinner and have fun in Webster! I'm surprised at all of the bad reviews and recommend them giving it a second try. I found the atmosphere of the restaurant to be neat and the food delicious! I had no problem with the service and had a fairly large group (7 adults). Not one of us had a complaint and enjoyed our first experience there. I dont know if the other reviewers went too early and did not give them a chance to get adjusted yet or if being too picky. Myself and a couple others had the steak tacos, and yes you put them together as if they we're a fajita, but how hard is that? They were delicious! And the perfect amount! They do have a section that is for smaller plates that you might not realize unless you ask the waiter the meaning of the title to that section of the menu, but we had beforehand. I could see a tall/healthy male not filling up on the meal, but coupled with chips/dip as appetizer we were fine. I strongly recommend trying this place out.",
"We were really concerned when we read the reviews, but we were delightfully surprised. The food was actually great; portions were perfectly adequate and our server was excellent! We ate there on a Sunday evening and the place was practically empty so there was no waiting at all. We would highly recommend La Cantina, and we wish them great success.",
"We went here for lunch. The place smells new and looks nice, located on Gore right next to the railroad tracks and across the street from the Montessori school.\n\nThe table salsa and chips was pretty good. They seemed like fresh chips of the slightly thicker variety. The salsa was very good and tomato-y with a bit of kick on the back end.\n\nOne guy in our group ordered a torta ($10-11) - a Mexican sandwich on a bun. This was a large sandwich, and he only ate half. The traditional Mexican cuisine only came in \"mini\" versions ($8). So others at our table tried the Mini Enchiladas and Mini Burritos. These are pretty small. You get two mini's, which equal about 1 standard size. This comes with rice and beans. Everything tasted good. Lunch or not, the size of the main entree could have been bigger IMHO. But again, the taste was good, and I didn't leave with hunger pangs.\n\nThey also have quesadillas ($9-10) and something that sounded like make-your-own tacos ($10-12) on the lunch menu, so I'll try those next time. I was just really craving enchiladas but don't think I'd order it again off the lunch menu because of how small they were.",
"I've gone here twice for dinner and had good experiences both times. The atmosphere was comfortable and the service was pretty good each time. Though the majority of the entrees are smaller than other places I wasn't able to finish my 'smaller' entree either time. Normally, I take home part of my meal from restaurants and was able to do that here, though not quite as much. Personally, I appreciate the quality over quantity. I don't need to be stuffed to feel like I had a good dining experience.",
"The quesadilla was excellent! But the serving size was too small and the price was way too high. Then theres the menu. I didn't understand it at all. I don't think anyone except a hispanic culinary chef could understand what they were ordering. Then theres my Carne Asada. The beef was marinated and very tasty, but it was just a few ounces of beef on a tortilla with a few onion slices. Good, just didn't get my fill, and way too pricey. I have decided I am more of a tex-mex person after going here. I like lettuce, sour cream, cheese with my meal. The Margarita was perhaps the best Margarita I have ever tasted. It was also 8 dollars so at that price it better be."

"From the moment I sat down until the moment I left the service was absolutly terrible! I watched my waitress eat a few bite of chicken off of another employees plate, eat it with her fingers, and over the top on my water glass before she served it to me. Also watched another employee take a bit of the chicken of the same plate with his fingers on the way to give a table their check. He was still chewing his food while he was giving the table their check and having conversation. Not happy at all with this resturaunt , which is a shame because the food is really really good. Because of the service I will wait until I reach my destination to eat next time.",
"How do you screw up scrambled eggs and toast? Eat here and you will find out. This is the absolute worst place I have ever eaten.",
"2 stars is generous, actually! This place is pretty whack for an airport restaurant. Usually food in airports is somewhat decent (or at least has some sort of appeal). This is the only open place to eat at the Reno Airport, bc they are remodeling. We went there twice- this review is a mashup of both visits!\n\nTHE ORDER:\nAsian Veggie Stir Fry w Brown Rice- 2.5 stars. While the veggies were yummy, there weren't that many :( The sauce was tasty, but definitely not unique. The rice itself was a bit mushy and not very fresh. Portion size was weak. But, this dish did taste good.\n\nBLT w Fries- 3 stars. The BLT itself was pretty good! Crunchy, chewy, etc. The fries were a bit lackluster. Obviously fresh cut potatoes, which is a plus, but overall boring. I added tabasco and ketchup to these poor little puppies!\n\nBean Soup- 2 stars. We were told this was a delightful bean and veggie soup with a bit of a kick. Sounds good to me! Well, it had some sort of ground meat in it (which i don't think counts as a vegetable?), no flavor and not a hint of spice. I added salt. \n\n1/2 Mountain House Salad + 1/2 Big Game Meatloaf Sandwich...2 stars. The meatloaf itself was really good; thick, flavorful, dense, etc. It's a blend of venison, beef, and elk. The chipotle BBQ sauce was a nice touch, but it needed more. I doused it with plenty of Tabasco and it was yummy.The 1/2 house salad SUCKED balls! There was little to no dressing...it was plated on a heated plate and then sat below a heat lamp. That makes no sense...at all. It's SALAD! And, the salad portion was ridiculously small. Might as well have been a garnish.\n\nCheese Toast- 3 stars. While this was simple and ghetto, it tasted good in an unhealthy, greasy way. Cheddar cheese atop of a weak french roll, served grilled with roasted tomatoes and garlic. It was actually good, just not very gourmet. Looks like something they'd think was fancy at a trailer park.\n\nTHE SERVICE:\n2 stars. Just bad. Bad cooks, bad waitstaff. There were a few people who were great, like the bus boy, etc., tho, so I can't discredit all of them!\n\nOVERALL:\nWell, I guess I'll have no choice but to eat here again if its the only place open still....but, next time, I'll go for a burger and a strawberry shake. A bit overpriced when you consider slow service and lame portion sizes.\n\nALSO:\nThey didn't have any spicy option but Tabasco. No Sriracha, no Tapatio, no chili flakes :(\n\nI DO NOT RECOMMEND TO ANY TRAVELING YELPER!!\n\nxo-\nandrea",
"I had the opportunity of eating a late lunch on July 10th. My initial server was new and somewhat in attentive but her trainer made up for it. I ordered the BLT and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The bread was very light and toasted perfectly. The sandwich could have used a couple more strips of bacon but the garlic aoli in place of standard mayo really made this sandwich and made me forget I wanted more bacon. The french fries were fresh cut. I was offered ketchup and told them I would wait to see if I needed to improve the fries with ketchup...I did not use the ketchup. The fries were perfectly done with just the right amount of salt. I will definitely eat here again the next time I am in Reno.",
"This place turned out to be an epic fail... The plan was for a quick breakfast while waiting for the south lake Tahoe shuttle, now I'm left hungry writing this review on the shuttle.\n\nThere was no hostess but was told to sit wherever by a bartender. Sat down at a table and checked the time, 940am... It took a while to get service as the waitress was flying around clearly working too many tables. I was there for at least 15 minutes by the time I got my coffee and ordered. And unfortunately, when the coffee was put down I peered over the rim and could nearly see the bottom of the mug. And yes it tasted as weak as it looked... Definitely some brewing issues going on.\n\nTime ticked away and there were no signs of the American breakfast I had ordered. Two eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. Not very complex.\n\nAnyways tables around me, which sat down after me, started getting food and it was nearly 1015am... 35 minutes after I sat down, so I had to throw in the towel and walk out. I Informed the waitress I was leaving and she informed the executive chef.. \n\nHe tried to stop me, saying my food would be up in 3 minutes and would be on the house, however I didn't have time. At least they tried to right the situation, so they can have a star.\n\nThis place is clearly having some management issues.. They looked to have plenty of staff, but the kitchen seemed a bit chaotic and even though I didn't get much service my poor waitress was flying around trying her best.\n\nOn top of all this, the saddest thing was there was some sort of restaurant management meeting going on at the bar right in front of me. Three guys in suits going over bottom line issues with the chefs, all oblivious to the issues going on around them. How can an airport diner justify employing a guy in a suit when they can't figure out how to get two eggs, bacon and toast on a plate in less than 20 minutes...\n\nTo sum up, only go here if you have over an hour, which is crazy for an airport restaurant... Wish I could comment on the food, unfortunately they couldn't figure out how to get me any in a timely manner.",
"Unfortunately, all the bad reviews about this restaurant (including the ones that are filtered out by Yelp) are all true (go to the bottom of the page to go to the link to see the reviews Yelp filtered out). \n\nOver the past few months, I have gone to this restaurant several times, since it is the only hot food in the entire airport. I have walked out several times when I sat down for a hot burger and fries, and 10 minutes later, I was still waiting for service and being totally ignored. \n\nOther times, I got slow service, and I got my food, but the food was awful....greasy patty melt and even greasier fries. Yuck! \n\nTonight, was the worst.....I was in the mood for a burger, and since this was the only place in the entire airport to eat one, I decided to give this place one more try. Boy was that a mistake! After the waitress took my order, I waited and waited and waited. I saw other orders already made for other people, and the prepared food was just sitting around waiting to be picked up by the waitresses. 10-20 minutes later, the food was still sitting there, despite the fact that the 2 waitresses kept walking past the food and just ignored it. All the waitresses were doing was drinks for people, nothing else. 20 minutes had gone by, and still I had no food. Finally I told the waitress to just cancel my order since I had a flight to catch. She couldn't care less.\n\nThese folks are clueless that this is an airport and people have flights to catch. We can't just sit around for hours waiting for a hamburger and fries. This restaurant is before the security checkpoint, so you have to give yourself extra time after eating here to get to your gate.\n\nI suggest you skip this awful place at eat after you get past the security checkpoint. After security, all there is available to eat is sandwiches (and if you're lucky, maybe a salad), but at least it's better (and faster) than this place.",
"Terrible service. There were more servers than patrons and they still couldn't get it together. Construction: hurry up! We need more options!!!",
"This place needs to re-think their cooking strategy OR warn people from the moment they step foot inside the entrance that they should only eat here if they have at least an hour to kill before they catch their flight. \n\nLike legions of others, if I had an early morning flight to catch, I usually grabbed a quick meal at the McDonald's before heading up towards the TSA line. Not the healthiest choice, but it worked if you just needed something fast and easy.\n\nAs of the end of August when I was last at the airport, this was still the only option to eat at before going through the security line. I sat down and informed my server I only had 30 minutes - would I be able to get a breakfast burrito in time? No problem, I was assured. The burrito arrived in 27 minutes. So much for having a few minutes to relax and eat. I had to have them throw it into a to-go container. To top it all off, the burrito itself was terrible. D I S A P P O I N T E D.",
"Sorry for the bad reviews. I was waited on immediately. Friendly staff. Food came quickly (meatloaf sandwich and salad). The wine was very good. Check was fast. All done in 35 minutes.",
"We had some time before our flight out and came across this option after seeing it on the news. A pleasant surprise versus typical options available to you once you are waiting at the gate. My wife had the chicken tenders. She was very happy with them. I had the breakfast wrap. It was ok, not as filling as I had hoped."

"I came here for their soft opening and was impressed! The employees were super friendly and didn't mind that it took me a while to settle on what I wanted. \n\nMy roommate and I came here for dinner - she got a wrap (also known by some as a sushi burrito) while I got a small poke bowl. Their bowls and wraps come in 3 sizes: small, medium, and large with differing amounts of protein scoops and sides based on the size you want. \n\nWhat I really appreciated was how fresh the fish was, you can really taste the quality in each bite. The menu here is pretty unique; I saw that beef patty is available as a protein option and even kimchi as a topping. They also have four different sauces to mix in with your fish and were more than happy to offer samples to try them out. \n\nService could be a little faster, but I didn't mind that much seeing as it was their first day of business and they really cared about making our food both delicious and presentable. Overall, I'm happy to see that there's now a solid poke place in IV.",
"This place is awesome!! We got the Medium Bowl which comes with 3 proteins and 2 sides. Don't be fooled, there's nothing medium about his Bowl!! I got white rice to start my Bowl, but my husband noticed the mixed greens option and opted for that. Next visit I'd want to get half rice and half mixed greens to start with.\n\nI chose ahi, spicy wasabi salmon and ahi shoyu as my three proteins with kim chi and seaweed salad as my sides. Get the tomyum sauce (coconut, lime, cilantro) all over EVERYTHING if you can!! It was so good!! I added plenty of toppings and mixes (including hot cheetos!!) to my Bowl.\n\nI loved the variety and it was a pretty quick order process. I had a LOT of questions, but the staff was awesome and knowledgeable. \n\nThe only drawback was that the soda options are bottles and cans, no soda fountain. That was in no way a deal breaker though. \n\nSince they just opened, they gave us 20% off our whole order!!",
"20% off until Saturday(9/23) for their soft opening.\n\nLocated by Ike's, PokiRito has good portions and as wide of a selection as any good poki place you would see around. But since they are the first poki-dedicated place in IV, I will be definitely coming again. \n\nTheir prices are high ($10 for a small) but worth it since the quality is good.",
"Saw this place finally opened and I couldn't wait to try! There were so many options for protein, sides, sauces and toppings it was hard to choose!\n\nAfter the 20% soft opening deal the first week of business its $10 for a small which is a little pricey, but the fish is such high quality PLUS you get unlimited toppings (one of them being hot cheetos ). Definitely coming back to try more options!",
"I was impressed by the variety of options on the menu! The staff is friendly, music is chill, and clients are greeted at the door with an \"Aloha!\". From a consumer perspective, I think the bowl is more worthwhile than the wrap. I felt like my wrap was served with less ingredients than the bowls because it has to be able to physically close at the end of the assembly line! (Like they intentionally used less avocado and meat than I saw on the bowls since those have more space to put things) That being said I question why the two are the same exact price. (I got two shrimp and it used up a whole protein serving) Other than that the food was tasty and I really recommend the sous vide egg (yummy and also adds a different texture). I tried the yuzu ceviche sauce, it was good but has a lot tang so if you're not into sour then maybe yuzu isn't the best sauce for you. Overall a good experience and I plan on returning.",
"5 stars for the Service\n5 stars for the cute and clean Ambiance\n5 stars for the deliciously FRESH fish\n5 stars for the creative Name\n\nWow, lucky us...came in on their first week opening! This location is just as AMAZING as the location in San Luis Obispo! \n\nTwo thumbs up! Please consider opening one up in LA! :)",
"This is probably my go to place for a sushi burrito! The staff is super friendly and do a great job at getting your order right. The place is clean and has good vibes. If anyone asks my where to get a good sushi burrito or a poke bowl poki rito is the place to go!",
"I can't help it but compare PokiRito to Pokemee. I was more impressed by the quality of the fish here. The yellowtail was fantastic, it was silky and buttery, without too much bloodline. The fish were cut to bigger chunks than Pokemee. \n\nA large bowl is $14, consists of 4 scoops of proteins, 3 scoops of sides, and any toppings your heart desires. The spicy tuna counts as a side and not a protein, so you get even more sushi grade fish for the price. There is also no extra charge for tamago and avocado, and bonus point for having kimchi. The Tom Yum sauce was very flavorful, but I was hesitant to marinate it with the raw fish. I would much prefer a simple ponzu (not offered here) with the raw fish and then having a rich mayo based sauce on the side for some extra kicks. My critique would be to add ponzu sauce and get some sturdier bowls. A large poke bowl here can get quite hefty and the workers were having some trouble picking up the flimsy bowl without spilling the contents.",
"Their salmon's really fresh here. It's just like butter where it melts in your mouth.",
"This places fish gave me was so poor not only could I not finish my meal, I had a stomach ache the next morning to the point where I had to find one position to lay in and if I moved chronic pains would begin again. I eat poke more than a fair amount, and this place was trash."

"hearty portions for cheap.\n\ni walked in with a pretty large group and we were all taking our food to go. the place itself is very spacious and clean, with two plasma screen televisions showing vietnamese variety shows.\n\nthe head of mary queen of vietnam church in new orleans told me i had to try the steamed rolls with grilled pork appetizer, so i got that along with the steamed rolls with minced pork (please see photos!). both were very very yummy. the grilled pork was chopped and paired with cilantro, and it came with a savory creamy yellow sauce.\n\nthe second appetizer couldn't even be appropriately called a \"roll\". at the bottom of the to-go container was a salad with tomato and cucumber slices, as well as bean sprouts. on top of the salad were strips of steamed wide rice noodles. minced pork and green onions were sprinkled on top of the noodles. a tangy red vinaigrette accompanied the dish. though it was absolutely delicious, there wasn't nearly enough pork. it merely served as an afterthought. sad.\n\nfinally, my friend got the deluxe pho and while the veggies were fresh, the noodles perfectly cooked, and the broth maintained its temperature in the car ride and to our final destination, the *rare* pieces of beef were a bit TOO rare. as in they were raw. no thanks.",
"I hate the pho ga because when I ordered -- it tasted nasty.\n\nRecently I returned for a family style dinner with dining buddy. So we had sweet and sour fish soup(big bowl huge), carmelized fish, and my favorite was the salad. \n\nThe portions were big except for the carmelized fish pot. I love me some carmelized fish with my sweet and sour soup but the fact that they didnt give enough fish for the price they charged I had to take away stars. Gimme mah fish yo.\n\nThe soup broth was great and the goi(salad) was a great mix of lotus stem, sliced cucumbers, carrots, shrimp and pork. Big plate of this enough to share with 2-3 other people depending on what pigs your dining partners are. Mines wasnt much of it so it look like no one touched the soup. The soup was an excellend mix of sweet and sour. Yums.\n\nIm just bummed the ca kho to (carmelized fish)was small portion. \n\nAt any rate, the food was good. They suck for closing at 7pm. \n\nNext door is their reception hall which looks like it's in the middle of renovation. They do catering so if you are having a party and want goi but dont want to slice all those damn vegs order from here.\n\nGreat for large parties, sometimes they take forever to bring you a menu but be cool and not a fool. Kids, families, and they now take credit cards thank the lawd.\n\nParking is located on the lot where they are located shared with other retailors. Ghetto ass lot adjacent to VAYLA, 99 Supermarket, poboy place and a laundromat.",
"If you are coming here for pho --- it's not the place. I can tell you this, as for the rest of the food there they offer is pretty good. \n\nWhen you walk into this restaurant, it has a lot of seating arrangements and no need to reservations.",
"If their steamed rolls with minced pork dish wasn't always out whenever we go, this would probably get 4 stars. However, for the past three times in a row, they didn't have any left. \n\nTheir pho broth and all the rest of it is pretty good for its cheap price so it still gets its three stars. Fresh veggies, hot broth, and quick service while still maintaining an open and higher-end kind of atmosphere. (saw the Congressman \nCao here!)",
"I work pretty close, and was starving for some bun (don't get any naughty thoughts, perverts! it's a noodle dish with fresh veggies on top!), and yelp told me to give this place a whirl.\n\nI had some reservations because of the 3 star review, but decided that if a place was good enough for my coworkers (who eat there 3 times a week), then it was probably good enough for me.\n\nI walked in and was pleasantly surprised how big and clean the place was. Unlike Dong Phong, which is dark and kinda dirty, this place is well lit and fresh looking. I grabbed a menu by the cash register (which is awkwardly in the back, FYI), and noted that there wasn't anything non-animal-ey on the menu. I decided to roll the dice and ask if they had tofu. VICTORY! They did! I ordered a tofu bun. It was out in 15 minutes, and I paid (pretty cheap, like 7 bucks) and left. Back in cubical town, I dug in. This was definitely traditional Vietnamese food, since it came with fish sauce and not peanut sauce. I tossed that aside and started digging in. AWESOME! They have freaking MINT in their bun! The noodles were good, and the tofu had a delicious brown-sauce like concoction cooked into it. Oh god. I want one now. \n\nI went back again and got the same thing, except with peanut sauce. I didin't like the peanut sauce because it was not nutty tasting, it was more sour. Anyway, this meal doesn't need sauce! \n\nI will keep coming back and ordering my off-the-menu delight, but I wish that they had more veg options on their menu. Even Dong Phoung down the street has veggie options! I hate being \"that guy\" who orders \"special\" stuff.",
"On my way to New Orleans, we passed Slidell for some Dong Phuong. Unfortunately for us, they were closed for remodel. I recalled spotting another Vietnamese restaurant down Chef M Hwy and decided to turn around.\nTo my pleasing, I saw many residents of Biloxi, many picky residents (whom I presume was there for the same reason as I was) ; so I didn't hesitate to take a seat. The place was busy, but mostly with 2 large tables, which they happily devour their attention to and not the other 10 small tables. I saw many people leaving, but since I already settled in, I instead decided to get the menus myself. \nTook a good while to get our orders, not to mention a great while to refill our drinks. However, the food was good. My sister did not enjoy hers very much, but to my understanding, it's a very difficult item to cook.\nThe horrible service was too erroneous to ignore, but the food helped my over impression of the place.",
"I work about 5 minutes from the place so it's convenient. The pho is good. I love the spring rolls. The general chicken lunch special is my usual \"go to\" meal.",
"I'll be fair and state that we came close to closing time. But still, that doesn't excuse the hard tendon, freaky meatballs, and average broth. Ba Mien gets good press, especially for its event space, but we were utterly unimpressed. If Dong Phuong is closed, do yourself a favor and head down the street to Pho Bang.",
"yay for steamed pork rolls and fresh pho! :D I waited until I went there another three times before I updated on yelp again. I was satisfied each time.\n\n**Inconsistent! My noodles were congealed. :(**",
"This place is called Ba Mien - or \"Three Regions\" in Vietnamese. With a name like that, I'd expected their menu to feature distinct dishes from each of Vietnam's North, Central, and Southern regions. No such luck - the menu pretty much reads like a standard Vietnamese restaurant menu, organizing their food instead under the headings of pho, noodles, rice plates, and the like. \n\nTo be sure, there is lots of variety to be had and certain dishes are advertised as prepared the way of a certain region, but I was expecting more.\n\nPrice-wise this place is reasonable. Taste-wise I've certainly had better Vietnamese food in places like California or Texas, but discounting for the lack of selection available in Louisiana, I'd say the food is good enough (though maybe a bit salty).\n\nI'd come back to try some more items on the menu, but I have to say that Dong Phuong, just a few miles up the road is probably the better Vietnamese restaurant in terms of taste, if not selection."

"In college, I worked at a locally owned sandwich shop in Arkansas called Munchy's that served their sandwiches steamed. It has been since I left there and moved to Nashville that my heart has pined for a locally-owned little sub shop akin to Munchy's that serves their goods steamed. My grandma recently told me about Sub Depot, and in the past week, I've been in twice. First of all, the menu is huge! You can get anything from the Destroyer (ham, turkey, salami, roast beef) to a meatball sub, philly cheesesteak, or chicken sub. They have sandwiches made to order, but you can also build your own sandwich consisting of the wide array of toppings and condiments. Now, these are not little piddly sammies with 3 slices of meat on them. These are 8-inch man-sized sandwiches loaded up with meat, cheese and veggies on freshly-baked bread. For a smaller sandwich you can get the mini, which is 5 inches, and the biggest sandwich is 14 inches.\n\nYou can get your sub steamed, but you can also order it cold or toasted. I tried the meatball sub toasted last time I was in and it was wonderful. You can order chips with your sandwich, as well as a cup of soup or pasta salad, and I highly recommend the broccoli cheese soup (it tastes like it might be homemade). The location isn't that great (for me), but I feel it is worth it to drive a few extra miles to the Donelson area to score a solid sandwich. Good stuff!",
"this place has a lot of great sounding sandwiches, interesting sides, 3 kinds of iced tea, awesome decor of maps and cool drawings of cities",
"I stopped here the other day for lunch. I was impressed the the amount of sub combinations, even several vegetarian selections. I would highly suggest looking at the on-line menu before going. \n\nOne unique visual about the place is all the maps on the walls. Very cool.",
"Sub Depot. Sounds pretty boring right? Well, don't let the exterior fool you(not that the interior is something to write home about). This place is happening every day for lunch. Every time I go there is a line, and sometimes the line goes out the door! \n\nThe line probably has something to do with their wide variety of delicious food. It's not just subs, people! Don't get me wrong, they have a nice array of different subs(and you can build your own as well), but they also have soups, salads, french bread pizzas, and even some tasty sweets. Everything that I have tried has been pretty good. I think it beats any of the sub chains in the area hands down.\n\nMight I also mention that they have free Wi-Fi. This seems like a no-brainer to me, yet there are not that many local businesses jumping on the free Wi-Fi train. \n\nIn conclusion: If you need a sub fix, then try just about anything on the menu. Speaking of menu, the one they have above the counter is kind of large, overwhelming, and hard to read. You may want to grab one of their to-go menus when trying to decide what you want. Support your local sub shop!",
"The subs are very good. I would say they are above average and worth trying. However, I've been there twice and I will never return. I had the same cashier both times and she is very rude and sarcastic. I feel like I was bullied each time. From now on, I will avoid this place.",
"This is one of my favorite sub places. They have an extensive selection of delicious sandwiches, and I also love the potato salad sides you can get instead of the stereotypical bag of chips. Although everything I've tried on the menu is delicious, the food is just a hair shy of a 5 star rating.\n\nI do wish they were open a little later but they have extended their hours since I originally started eating there.\n\nAs others mentioned, the inside decorations are another plus with the skyline pictures of Nashville and the artwork of other cities.",
"Nice sandwiches, gets really busy starting at Noon. The food comes out pretty quick though. These sandwiches are densely packed. You definitely get your moneys worth eating here.\n\n The \"Torpedo and Destroyer\" are one of my faves. The decor is typical of a sandwich joint. If you're ever in the area stop by, you won't be disappointed!",
"The only reason I take a star away is the hours. They cater to the lunch rush mostly, so they close early on Weeknights and Weekends.\n\nI have had 5 sandwiches there and they were all good. I don't do deli sandwiches often but these are excellent.",
"This is a pretty good joint it depends on who's making the subs some days are better than others I normally get a 8 inch rye with pastrami and corned beef mixed with all the fixings... Love it!",
"I've been going to Sub Depot for over 8 years, and they consistently make among the best sub sandwiches around. Their selection is EXTENSIVE as far as bread types, cheeses, meats, veggies and toppings go...not even sure Subway would have half as many available. Plus they kinda dwarf Subway sandwiches as far as portion sizes go. Can't say enough good about Sub Depot...they are for real :-)"

"Excellent pizza, friendly staff, and fresh food--I.e made to order. We had way too much food with the special, so it is a great value. The buffalo chicken pizza can be ordered at any temperature, and it is excellent. Great little hole in the wall and I can't wait to try the Italian dinners next time.",
"If you're looking for authentic NY style pizza, your search is over! Gia's is by far the best pizza that you will find in Florida. Not to mention, the staff is courteous and makes you feel more like family then just a customer! Efficient service, and great food you will not regret eating here one bit.",
"Gia's is a wicked awesome addition to the New Port Richey small business environment with a friendly staff and tasteful food. I have tried mostly everything on their menu and have not found one item that did not satisfy my taste buds they went crazy over the ravioli dinner! The ownership makes you feel like a small family always remembering my name every time I place my order and if anything takes a little longer than they quoted on pick up times they always make it right with their awesome garlic knots, you have to order some! I am glad to say that this will be the pizza destination I choose every time I order. Thank you Gia's for making it a family friendly environment!",
"Let me start by saying I'm from Philadelphia & the pizza down here is shit. \n\nI'm in love with this place. The 2 slices & a drink is a great lunch. The whole pies are also great. \n\nAlso the more important thing THEY HAVE PIZZA FRIES! \n\nThis is our go to place for pizza. We have it 1 ever week & half.",
"In my search for good pizza, I came across this place. I drove by it when I decided to take a different way home from work. \n\nI'll say this first: This is real pizza. This is not like the usual Florida pizza. It's good. \n\nLet's get down to it. \nI ordered a large Pepperoni, sausage and extra cheese. They are very proud of putting \"Grande Cheese\" on their pizza. I didn't realize that Grande is the name of a cheese maker in Wisconsin. \n\nAll in all, the pizza was very good. The sauce has a wonderful hint of onion and is a little on the sweet side. This complimented well with the amazing crust. I normally skip the crust after I bite off the crispy edges, but this crust tasted great! It tasted like homemade bread! \n\nI give it 3 stars for now. I was a little disappointed that my extra cheese wasn't so extra as it was normal cheese. \n\nGood amount of toppings - 1 star\nAwesome crust - 1 star\nNot a bad price for the size - 1 star\n\nI'll definitely order from here again. Give me another good experience and I'll add another star. \n\nOrder from here. You'll like it.",
"No matter when I stop in I'm always able to get fresh product at a great price. I happen to see fresh meatballs come out of the oven a couple weeks ago and when I said it smells so good they offered me a meatball to try. Oh my God!! \nMy hardest decision now is either a meatball pizza or a meatball parm hero!!",
"This is the best pizza I have since being in Florida. Crispy crust, delicious sauce, and real cheese. The owner is THE absolute best and a sweet heart. She wrote a note on the food for my girlfriend who usually picks the food up with me. The wings and cheese bombs are also delicious. Stromboli was good as well. \n\nIf you are from the north and looking for a taste of home, Gia's is a must.",
"Let me start out by saying I have never felt the need to write a review I my life. \n\nThat Being said I wish I saw this before I ate my pizza. I WAS SO DISGUSTED!!\n\nThere was a man and women working today when I went in for lunch. After I ate my pizza is when I paid for it. The man was making someone else's order and came to take my money. He was not wearing gloves so I stood there to watch to see what he was going to do. He took my money, gave me my change and turned back to the food he was making!! I watched him continue to make the food WITH OUT WASHING HIS HANDS!!! How disgusting!!! I left with my paid for slice of Sicilian pizza, ( I ordered two slices one for here and one to go) by the time I got to my car I was so disgusted I went back inside to confront the man. After I told them what I saw the girl says he didn't do that. I was furious. I just watched him!!! She was in the back of the kitchen, where the sink was she also know he didn't walk back there. I left my paid for pizza there, I no longer wanted it!!\n\nAnd the Sicilian pizza crust is from a slab of pre made dough. It wasn't even fresh!!! \n\nAnd the restroom was gross too! Beware going here!!!",
"We just moved into the neighborhood and needed food. I looked on Yelp for a place that delivered and saw Gia's. Lucky us!! Not only was it delivered quickly but most of all it was delicious !! We're from New Jersey and know good pizza. This is it!!! We will be ordering again and trying new things too!!! Thanks!!!",
"I've only ever had their wings, but on those alone I will give this place 4 stars. Plus the people there are super nice and accommodating even when stressed out and understaffed. I'm going back for sure."

"Spanish-style courtyards, flowers everywhere, it's a beautiful place to go and visit especially if you're a tourist. They have over 50shops and restaurants. Not only is it in the heart of State street, you have TONS of other shops and restaurants surrounding. Though parking can be a pain and be careful, it's full of one wall streets so get directions. They have stores like nordstorms, cafe orleans, victoria's secret, angl, bebe, nine west. I love going up to santa barbara, b/c of all the different types of restaurants and shops they have, and you can even head straight to the beach after wards. There is a restaurant they have in Nordstorms that's on the top floor and you can eat outside on a balcony that over looks santa barbara, though the resturant isn't the greatest, the view is great. On a nice day out, state street including the paseo nuevo mall is the best. Can't go wrong, anyone can find something there.",
"The warm sun shining down on my skin. The wind blowing through my hair.\n\nWhen I first moved here, I wasn't accustomed to the beauty and fresh air that an outdoor mall..ehm..shopping center allows. \n\nI have come to appreciate how pleasant it is to walk around in the open spaces in and out of stores. Shopping is a much better experience here than in indoor malls, which many of us are probably very familiar with.\n\nWalk up and down State St. \nPaseo Nuevo is in a great location somewhere in the middle-ish of it all. When you get tired of brand names, Macy's, Nordstrom, etc., there are other independent stores along the street and in cross streets. Or you can just go and eat something.",
"The atmosphere of this shopping center is very relaxing. I really like the Spanish style architecture. This center was built in 1990 but looks like it was built in 1776 because of the architecture. Macy's, Nordstrom, Barnes and Noble and 60 other shops anchor this lovely mall. You will find whatever you want our need in this outdoor mall. This mall also has a Juicy Culture store as well as Sure La Table. I often drive 75 miles to shop here. This center has the Santa Barbara flavor to it and you escape Los Angeles style rudeness and crowds.",
"A really nice shopping plaza in downtown Santa Barbara that has my favorite store Lululemon. Outdoors, fresh air, and a great mixture of shops and places to eat. Really clean and nice restrooms upstairs that even have lotion and tissue dispensers. And floor to ceiling tiling between stalls and full length doors. That's right, I review restrooms.",
"This is my fave shopping center in downtown SB. There's tons of shops, people watching, and food nearby. The only things I don't like consists of the difficult parking-- on street is pretty difficult, so I usually go for the lot beneath Nordies..First 75 minutes free! Also- there's a lot of homeless people hanging out on State St, and it makes me so uncomfortable to be walking past them with shopping bags in hand. Gah! Also- you can meet eccentric people. Sometimes there's a group of people with snakes...gross. Also- everyone takes their doggies shopping! Fun to watch and play with cute pups..:)",
"Back in the day I went to school in Montecito, so I spent a lot of time at the Paseo Nuevo after classes, window shopping and studying at Barnes & Noble. It's a great outdoor shopping plaza with a nice mix of shops and people and an old-time Spanish mission-style feel.",
"One of the prettiest malls from the outside however there aren't many stored there that I frequented when I went to UCSB. Now State street has had an Extreme Makeover. Tons of brand names stores right on State like Juicy (but who really shops there now? even though I think there stuff is adorable), surf shops galore and Betsey Johnson.",
"Gorgeous Spanish buildings. It's an outside mall with all of the necessities. It has my fav: ANGL, Nordstrom, Juicy and Sephora....\n\nA few blocks away is Saks Fifth Ave which is always nice to go to for the latest styles.\n\nOverall it's a beautiful city and a beautiful mall. It's the best to go to when they have the farmers market out.\n\nMISS IT!",
"Honestly I expected more from this outdoor mall, knowing it was on the most busiest street in santa barbara... The look of this outdoor mall is nice, but the selection they have here isn't the best.. I expected ALOT more. They don't really have that much selection, they have the regular stuff; a&f, ae, express, etc. But they didn't have anything exstravagant, which sucked. The whole outdoor mall feel was really nice and too bad we came on a day that wasn't that hot... I love the mexcian feeling the mall gives with all the mission-esque buildings made everything a whole different experience... I give this place 3 stars because I didn't see anything here that I don't have back in S.F.",
"This is a great place to come in Santa Barbara for shopping. You can walk up or down State St. and check out the stores and even go down to the harbor. Paseo Nuevo is neat because they keep the place clean and it looks kind of classy. I don't find the stores to be pretty unique, but it can be a good place to take a breather during a day of walking and shopping. Parking is pretty convenient as there is a big garage."

"This location has gone through various owners over the last 10 years but finally there is a full service restaurant there. The menu is most Italian but also offers many American mainstays, the prices are fair and the food is quite good. They are ZAGAT rated and you can dine in , take out or have delivery. They are a BYOB, no booze is served here and they have many daily specials. It's very close to home and we plan to return regularly.",
"we called in for delivery on 6/21/14 and ordered , a turkey club ( huge sandwich ) a saint Louis burger platter ( huge portions ) and a chicken parm sandwich ( which was the only weak point ) delivery was in an acceptable amount of time, prices were average, ( even using a 3.00 off coupon ) food was quite good and a surprise for a new local spot, we'll see how they stand up over time",
"This is one of my favorite restaurants. Please people you have got to try it- this gem can not go out of business--- IT'S TOO GREAT! The staff is wonderful, the restaurant is clean and really nice inside and they deliver! I've eaten there way more often then I would like to admit but I can vouch that the following are delish:\n\nthe Rustic Sandwiches; I've literally had almost all of them\nStrombolis- and they are huge\nSicilian pizza\nBBQ chicken pizza\nwaffle fries\nBuffalo Chicken cheese steak\nGyro \n\nIf I could pay people to try this place I would! I've been handing out menus at my work! I promise you'll leave happy! :)",
"Let's see where to start. The pizza fries were exceptional besides the portion size. After that my families meal was a train wreck. The garlic knots had the texture of a cracker. My second bite of the cheese steak, after a second trip because they had forgot to put them in the bag, had a piece of gristle that could have passed as a toe nail and the same with my brothers first bite. The pizza crust reminded me of plain white bread. The lettuce was prepared delightfully.",
"The garlic knots are crescent rolls, baked ziti with no cheese? Really? Never had that before. My husbands dinner was listed with a blush sauce. It was saturated with grease and not a drop of sauce. Go to band box across the street.",
"Party of two & two hours...\n\nIt took about 1/2 to get a salad after we waited almost ten minutes to order. \nThey serve more grilled chicken on sandwiches at most fast food places. Fries were nasty & cold. I took chicken from one half & added it to the other.\n\nThe waitress tried to blame the kitchen but who's fault would it be for not filling our glasses. After all, we could've have easily downed 3 beverages before we had a chance to eat.\n\nWon't go back.",
"I recently checked this place out after driving by it several times. Pat's is situated on New Falls Road sandwiched in between two particularly ugly-ass shopping centers that desperately need a facelift.\n\nWhile the neighbors to the sides are in dire need of updating, Pat's has been completely rehabbed to the point that the building shines amongst the neighbors and almost looks awkward because of how nice the building is compared to it's surroundings. To be honest, prior to Pat's occupying this location I couldn't tell you what business used to be here.\n\nUpon entering the restaurant I was surprised how uber-modern the interior is for a pizza place in Levittown. There is no hostess to greet you upon entering as it is a seat-yourself kind of place. The girlfriend and I grabbed a table and promptly ordered the broccoli bites appetizer. I can say that the app definitely wasn't worth the $6.40 we were charged for 6 measly bites of prepackaged frozen deep fried broccoli.\n\nAfter much debate I decided that I would go with the Italian Stromboli for my meal and it was mediocre. The 'boli was LOADED with meats, peppers and onions but was EXTREMELY lacking in the cheese department. The dough was a bit odd in my opinion; It wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I am normally accustomed to when it comes to strombolis. \n\nThe old ball and chain ordered the Ranchers Chicken Sandwich; it comes on a toasted roll and is served alongside a pickle and the most delicious waffle fries I have ever tasted. Holy cow, how come these guys are the only people that know how to make crispy waffle fries?... While I didn't sample her sandwich, she said that she liked it a lot, but wished that it had more roasted peppers. \n\nAll-in-all it is not fantastic, but not bad either. I will try their pizza next time so that I can give a more accurate appraisal of this place. But seriously, you gotta try their waffle fries!...",
"We went here for the first time tonight and we were completely satisfied. The food was good, the service was good, the prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was nice. I have absolutely no complaints, but I'm giving a 4 star review because there really wasn't anything unique about this place. I'll come back if I'm in the area but I probably won't go out of my way to come here.",
"Excellant food and atmosphere .All the negative reviews published are generated by employees and friends of the business across the street.Pay no attention and give Pats a try. We have been there numerous times with no complaints",
"Excellant food and atmosphere. The negative post by Michael T is because he works at the dive restaurant across the road"

"I grew up in Tampa, but have since moved and lived all around the world. Being an expat has its ups and downs, but the one thing I constantly miss is a GREAT CUBAN SANDWICH. \n\nI am not entirely sure when Cafe Caribe opened up in this stretch of strip mall in Old Carrollwood. But I do know that every time I visit my parents, a delicious pressed cuban and piping hot cafe con leche will be waiting for me at Cafe Caribe. \n\nFive star cubans all the way (and great plantains too) !!!",
"Best Cuban sandwich I have had anywhere - period. I used to work in Tampa and visited this place for lunch every day. No longer work in Tampa but on a recent visit I made it a point to drive out of my way for my favorite sandwich in the whole world. Staff is pleasant and helpful.",
"Had the Cuban coffee (cafe con lache) and Cuban toast. When leaving my buddy picked a Cuban sandwich and offered me half on the way out. I usually don't eat in a vehicle but it smelled and tasted so good. Great sandwich. Not the happiest servers in the world but I don't go to an eatery for the company. I go for the food.",
"Having grown frustrated with the poor quality of the Pipos location in Carrollwood, I set upon my mission of finding good cuban food for lunch. Mission accomplished!\n\nJust had the shredded pork and let me tell you, this is as good a version of the dish as I've ever had. The mojo flavor shiines and blends well with the pork. The rice, beans, and plantains were all on the mark as well. At $8.95, it's a good value as this is easily two meals.",
"Had the lunch buffet, great option. $6.50 for all you can eat! Picadillo, ropa vieja, Cuban baked chicken, amarillo plantains, red beans, black beans, white rice and yellow rice. The baked chicken and ropa vieja were awesome, my friend really liked the picadillo. Speaking of which, he also ordered an empenada filled with picadillo. I should say EMPENADA, it was huge, clearly homemade and only $1.95. Service was fast and friendly, the table next to us ordered ropa vieja and the waitress let them know that the buffet was a cheaper option. Nice touch.",
"Cafe Caribe is a super little breakfast and lunch spot located in the middle of a strip mall along N. Dale Mabry Highway. Heading north from downtown, you'll pass Bush Blvd, and then the traffic light at Linebaugh Avenue. Just past that on your left is Burger Monger, and located within that same strip mall is Cafe Caribe.\n\nThe Cafe bills itself as a combination of Spanish, American, and Greek cuisines, and they are only open from 7 am - 3 pm Mon - Sat. Breakfast includes all of the traditional American egg dishes, breakfast sandwiches, Cuban toast, and cafe con leche, along with a wide variety of fruit smoothies.\n\nLunch is amazing, with Latin, Caribbean, Greek, and American favorites on their menu. Monday - Wednesday they have an all you can eat lunch buffet with several entrees and a whole host of sides for $6.50!!! Thursday and Friday they have specialty lunch entrees for that same price point. \n\nToday for lunch I ordered Picadillo which is the delicious Latin dish made with seasoned, ground beef, onions, green olives, herbs and spices. The meal came with two sides, so I chose yellow rice and black beans. As you'll see in the photo, the food was falling off both sides of the plate. The meal was HUGE and it was DELICIOUS!!!!\n\nI've yet to try the Greek food, as I really love their Cuban cuisine, but I have no doubt that everything on the menu is extremely tasty and inexpensive.",
"One of my favorite places for breakfast. Usually get the cafe con leche and my husband and I split a breakfast sandwich with chorizo and American cheese, its more than enough for two.",
"Cafe Caribe has grown from a little Latin coffee shop into a respectable sized Spanish American and Greek! restaurant. They've expanded their seating area and their table service is outstanding. The menu has matured a bit. They have a great selection of traditional Cuban breakfast items, salads, pitas, and entrees like picadillo, ropa vieja,, and shredded pork. \n\nThe ropa vieja is outstanding. I tried their large ropa vieja sandwich. Seriously, it's enough to feed two adults. It's bread and ropa vieja. No frills, just the way I like it. The ropa vieja (shredded beef) is very juicy and well seasoned. \n\nIf you are tired of chain restaurants and want to try something a little more \"homey\", give Cafe Caribe a visit. Come hungry.",
"Love the food, especially breakfast and the cafe con Leche is awesome. The ladies are always sweet!",
"Awesome Cuban restaurant! Breakfast us always quick and hot. I grew up in Tampa so I know good Cuban food when I taste it. The Cafe Con Leche here is the best in town!! Stop in for breakfast or lunch. With the delicious food and reasonable prices, you won't be disappointed!!"

"Great intimate place to eat and have fun with friends... Wide variety of wings... Darlene does a great catering job!",
"We went a few weeks ago to celebrate a bday, the food was full of flavor, unique, and nicely proportioned. The prices were great and the service was far above average. The owner/chef even came out to meet and greet us. I've been back several times for take out orders which some places will skimp on quality and detail on take out orders; they do not. Go today!",
"The food was amazing. My fiance and I went and we had the seafood Mac, Asian fusion wings, seafood fried rice, and fusian bang shrimp. Prices are affordable, Which allowed us to try a lot of different things. The service was also great. We got our food quick.",
"I went to star fusion a few weeks back and let me just say I wish I would have found this place a whole lot sooner the food was delicious the ingredients were very fresh and will give your tastebuds a wake up! Can't wait to to go back!",
"Wasn't really expecting much on takeout. Ordered bang shrimp, 2 flavor wings and seafood fried rice. I am so highly impressed with the flavor and quality of their food. The garlic parm wings are insanely good! All this in my backyard! Thank you Darlene!",
"I tried the food at Star Fusion today for the first time, but it will not be the last. There were so many kinds of wings to choose from that I couldn't decide. The waitress, who was very pleasant, suggested the Thai salt and pepper wings. I was concerned because of the name, but she assured me that they aren't salty and they are very good. She was right. Those wings made me want more! They came with a spicy sauce on the side, but the wings were delicious without the sauce. I did takeout and my sauce was in a takeout container, but it was cold so I opted not to use it. I will definitely be back and I look forward to trying some of the other food too.",
"Star Fusion was delicious! Everything we ordered was just as tasty as the next! We ordered Appetizers, wings - bone in & boneless -as well as a Tasty selection of sides! The portions are great and the food was Excellent! Everyone of us- enjoyed our meal! The service and waitress was great too! Thanks to my girlfriend's recommendation...we had a wonderful, girls night dinner!!! WE WILL BE BACK!! JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. HAS ME CRAVING IT!! YUM.",
"The food was excellent. The crab fried rice was delicious. The smoked collard greens and kale was a winner. Everyone in my party was completely satisfied with their meal. Service was great. And best of all, it's right in Overbrook. Will definitely be back.",
"Absolutely love Star Fusion! It should be the talk of Philly! My favorite is the Bang Bang shrimp and the Raspberry Balsamic Chicken! Bon Appetit!",
"I am so glad I told my girlfriends about this place when they were in town for the holidays. I had past it several times but had never went in. The day we went we ordered wings..boneless and bone in. I had the garlic parm which were delicious and one of my friends had the green machine and they too were great. The sides were just as tasty and the portions were just right. I loved that the owner/chef Darlene I believe her name is came out, greeted us and asked how we enjoyed our food. She took a small video of my daughter saying how much she loved her wings and fries. I would definitely recommend Star Fusion and you can count on us coming again. Thank you!!"

"We went to Zaxby's last night to check out the latest new chicken joint in Greenwood. \nBecause it's new, and the novelty had not yet worn out it's welcome, it was also swamped with business. \n\nThat is one of the reasons my review will only yield \ntwo stars. They were simply unprepared and unable to keep up with the large volume of business they were faced with. \n\nWe just ordered our food and got out of there as quickly as possible. \n\n\nFirst of all, I noted that they don't serve bone-in chicken; just chicken breast strips and patties in various combinations. \n\nWe ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich, the chicken strip sandwich w/ fries, and the chicken dinner with fries and a side of coleslaw. We also were hankering for some onion rings and the fried mushrooms (one of my personal weaknesses). \n\nThe chicken strips were just OK. They tasted plain and a bit bland. They didn't have a zip of flavor as far as the breading goes. \nThe bun for the sandwich was low quality and nothing special. \nThe 'grilled' Cajun chicken sandwich was very thick, tough and rubbery. \nThe smattering of Cajun spice that was on it did not help it either. \nThe fries were OK. The coleslaw was also a bit bland, and was not a standout by all means. It did taste better and more balanced than the mostly sugar type cole slaw recipes at some other fast food restaurants. They include a large piece of Texas type toast with the combo meal. \nIt's drenched in what I can only describe as a buttery greasy looking substance (more than likely - heart seizing margarine). \nI didn't dare touch it. \n\nThe onion rings were palatable for the most part. They, as well as the mushrooms, were coated with a different and spicer type of breading. \nThe mushrooms are tiny slices - not whole. My other problem with them was the fact that they were dripping with grease. It was almost like after they pulled them from the fryer, they poured some more grease on them. I had to literally pat them with my paper napkins to absorb the extra oil in order to eat them; after I ate a few, I just gave up. \nThe dipping sauces are somewhat flavorful, but after I read the ingredients, I quit using them. Unfortunately they are mass produced and prepackaged. And,... along with that, they disappointingly have high fructose corn syrup in them as well. That's a no-no in my culinary world these days. After the government recently passed the law banning the use of high fructose corn syrups, many processed foods will not be allowed to use that ingredient anymore. That day can't get here soon enough. Hopefully any type of hydrogenated oil will be the next poison removed from the ingredients list. \n\n\n\nSadly, I had much 'gastric regret' with this experience. Low quality is mostly what you get for the money at Zaxbys. \nAnd it's amazing how much one can spend when visiting these types of restaurants. In regard to the quality of the food, it just doesn't add up. For three people, we spent $29.00. We could have gone to a better/different (sit down) restaurant and not have spent much more than that. Of course we more than likely would've received better quality food and a better experience overall.\n\nI am sorry that I can not rank it anywhere in the realm of chicken nirvana. \n\nZaxbys was a disappointment in many respects. I was expecting more overall upscale tasting chicken and other delectable offerings. \n\nWhen it comes to this type of chicken food fare, Popeyes across the street wins out - but barely. \nI would safely say that you are better off just going to Culver's and calling it a day.",
"Agree with Deb. Zero flavor. We ordered the chicken fingers plate and the buffalo chicken plate. The only thing that had any flavor was the Zaxbys sauce. Soggy onion rings and the fries had way too much season salt. Also agree with Deb about the Coke machine. There were at least 6 people waiting the entire time we were there. Service was adequate, but if you want good chicken, Chik Filet is right up the road. We won't bevreturning to Zaxsby anytime soon.",
"Went here for the first time. We were expecting more for the huge line of people waiting to order. \nFirst of all like the people above me said only one soda machine! Which creates all that crowd. \nSecond the food was a little pricey for the quality. Very tasteless and bland. We order to go and our bread was a little soggy. My husband order the 7 piece chicken strips, when he was only given one bbq sauce he asked for another one and it was given to him however he was told next time he would be charged. We were really one sauce for 7 piece of chicken?! The cashier should've asked what kind of sauce he wanted and let us know that extra sauce would cost. Over all disappointed and will not be visiting again.",
"So we decided that it was time to try this place as I always enjoy new eating establishments. We arrived around 7:45p on a Tuesday. The lobby was pretty empty with 1 person ordering at the counter. We waited like maybe 2-3 minutes before placing our order. Not bad if you ask me. \n\nThe two people at the counter were very friendly and helpful. They answered all of our questions with detail and an upbeat attitude. While we waited we grabbed our drinks and found a table. I was sad to see that their Coke Freestyle machine was not able to connect to the app to get all my mixes. They mostly have booths but there are some tables in the middle of the place.\n\nWhile we waited for our food to come out I noticed how clean the place was. The drink station was surprisingly clean. The floor was not sticky and the counter was clean and clear of clutter and junk. I liked the way that they called out orders when they were finally ready. Instead of just yelling out some number and hoping that you understand them; they use a PA system.\n\nOur food came out and I dived in on the fries first. They were crinkle fries and made me smile. I went with the chicken club. The toast they used seems to be more along the lines of Texas toast and it was a welcomed surprise. The chicken had flavor. Not a ton of flavor but a good mix of flavor. Not like KFC that dumps so much seasoning on them to hide the fact that it isn't real chicken. Instead of the sandwich being a chicken breast it is their chicken tenders. It was interesting and yet another welcomed surprise.\n\nOverall I felt that the amount of food was right for the price and the flavor was a good mix. I don't want just bland chicken but I don't want it over seasoned either. The staff seems very friendly and one girl even stopped by our table and asked if we wanted a mint. The dining room was clean and the design is different from everything else out there. Is it something so special that it will be my go-to chicken place? Probably not...but it is different enough that when I am craving chicken and don't want to drive far from home...Zaxbys may just be the place I hit up.",
"Cutting a celery stick in four thin slices is cheap azz. Spicing the chicken up with sauce instead cooking it in spice is cheap azz.",
"This place is good and it's real chicken!!! Nothing worse than getting chicken from other fast food chains that have some weird unidentifiable grizzle in them. I have tried their fingerz, fries, cole slaw and fried mushrooms. All of which were delicious. The only reason I gave a 4 star instead of a 5 is because I don't care for their dipping sauces. However, I keep a bottle of spicy garlic and hot sauce form b-dubs in the fridge at all times so I use that. This place is worth the money!! Yum!",
"Our meal was very good. We had traditional wings in the sweet and spicy, fries boneless wings in original sauce and onion rings with the zest able dip. All was good and the young lady that took our order was extremely friendly and helpful.",
"First and last time. Not busy at all this afternoon. Ordered one plate and not given enough chicken or the side. \nChicken strips were tough and severally lacked seasoning. The fries were not fresh and had been under warmer. Would never recommend this place. Manager heard issues and offered nothing just continued to walk around with a clip board. Managing partners you have serious problems here!",
"Family just went here for the first time and we loved it. Kids ate everything they ordered and that is big for them. Chicken Salad Sandwich was Great.",
"Market analysis indicates we need another place serving fried chick at this intersection, really? I guess the other places are doing well? Popeyes, BW3, and Zaxbys are in sight of one another. \n\nZaxby's is like a dumbed down fast food version of BW3. The base chicken is good and moist, but lots of breading and sugary sauces left me feeling I could do better. Crinkle cut fries and celery makes it a meal. \n\nLimited menu with chicken fingers, boneless wings, and bone-in wings. I'll come back and try the salad, but I won't be a regular for the wings."

"If you get tired of Rooney's or Logan house this a solid place for Happy hour. They have 2 dollar beers and half price appetizers which will keep you from spending to much money. Also, the outdoor area behind/onside of the restaurant is great but is hard to get a seat unless you are there early. I would have given this place another star but the place is very narrow which can make it hard to move around in once there are a couple people by the bar.",
"Very good Sunday brunch. Had the breakfast burrito and it was delicious. They also had great brunch drink specials. \n\nThere is a beautiful deck in the back that is open when its warm and makes for a great brunch experience. \n\nI've only been to as a bar (not restaurant since it flips at night) once and it was before it was remodeled last year.\n\nThe remodeling is great and a little more chic then some of the other bars in the area. It's really the only place I'll go in Trolley Square that more often resembles a hangout for the cast of Jersey Shore and not a place for young professionals. Scratch breaks that mold and offers good food and drinks in a nice environment.",
"I like Scratch's very much. Please allow me to break it down:\n\nBeverages - Scratch's has one of the better beer selections in Wilmington, which keeps me coming back. They always have two or three craft brews on tap and an excellent bottle list. I have not done much in the way of wine or mixed drinks here, but why would I when I see Lancaster Milk Stout on tap as soon as I walk in.\n\nAtmosphere - They remodeled recently and everything looks very chic. In fact, they probably could have gone a little more casual, but I like the decor very much. There is also a nice outdoor area that is secluded and a great place to sit in the warmer weather.\n\nService - Always been great. No complaints.\n\nFood - I have eaten here a couple times and everything has been delicious. I think the burgers here are definitely the best that you will find in Wilmington. \n\nMy only caveat is to steer clear of this place on Friday and Saturday night unless you want to tackle your way through a crowd of rowdy 21 years olds...but that could be said about any of the trolley bars. I guess I am just getting old...",
"I am a regular at Scratch's as I happen to live only about 100 steps away from their door and have been going there for about 5 years. I eat out for a large portion of my meals and I have to say that on any given day if I am undecided on where to go, I will choose to eat at Scratch's most of the time. While I am very fond of many other bars in my neighborhood most of the dishes here just appeal to me more. \n\nMy favorites have to be the sandwiches and burgers. The sandwiches, such as the Tuscan and Chicken Focaccia, are just the right blend of interesting ingredients and standard classics and are all clearly made very well and very consistently. The burgers, in my opinion are the best I've ever had, except for maybe Col. Mustard's in college... but it's a close call. Even better 1/2 price on Mondays! \n\nThey have great specials on most of the weekdays however I would like to see maybe a Thursday special and maybe a Sunday one too like they used to have. I really like the remodeled look however I loved it plenty when it was all dinged up too : ) \n\nThe beer selection is great and not only do they have a lot of interesting things in bottle but a great selection on tap also. I couldn't believe it when I saw Dogfish Head Chicory Stout on tap once... nice! Also, the selection is always rotating which is even better. Personally I would like to see maybe a few more foreign beers in bottle and maybe a regularly rotating Dogfish Head tap, currently it seems that they keep a rotating variety of Victory on tap all the time along with the standard domestics that I occasionally drink as filler. \n\nLastly I think the staff that works there is great. Very attentive and always accommodating even when they're ridiculously busy. I always feel welcome and feel right at home. The prices are pretty reasonable too as far as being in line with what I would expect for a bar in this area and of this caliber. \n\nI would highly recommend getting a Shemp Card too, I love the addition of this and I can't tell you how many times I've maxed it out... not sure if that's good or bad : ) \n\nIf you're ever in the area Scratch's is a sure to please choice!",
"Trolley Square may have a lot of bars, but none that really keep me coming back for more, except for Scratch Magoo's. Their beer list actually goes past light beers (don't worry, the buckets of ___ light are still offered), and the food is honestly pretty darn good bar food. But what makes Scratch Magoo's stand out is the outdoor area. There is a cabana type area that makes you feel like king/queen of magoos if you are so lucky enough to grab that location. The rest of the outdoor area is nice too though, they do a good job of having you forget that you're in wilmington, de.",
"Great bar, great staff. Another local place with great character. There are lots of bars in Trolley Square, but this one has a unique quality to it that keeps me coming back. Stop in sometime. You'll be glad you did",
"Great staff who make sure to keep up with our multiple $10 buckets and put up with our crazy jukebox selections whenever we drop in. We're usually around when \"Strokin\" and \"Tenderness\" are played in close succession... \n\nThe extra space they got between the front bar and the wall after the \"Scratchy McUpscales\" remodel was a lifesaver. Oddly, the weekend crowd fluctuates from packed to empty to packed again... We usually stick to the inside bar, but the outside is pretty nice too.\n\nI haven't eaten there too many times, but what I've had of the typical bar fare has been good. There's lots of beer choices for those who aren't into light beers. They also accept the Shemp card if you frequent Shellhammer's and Tyler's.\n\nEasily, my favorite bar in Wilmington, never a cover (even on Loop nights), plus I met my wife there!\n\nThe only other thing I can say is go there...Now!",
"This is my last review of the places we went on our Delaware road trip. This doesn't necessarily have to do with Scratch Magoo's but what is the deal with people in Delaware and their staring? I'm not exaggerating when I say people were starting at me and my friend like we had two heads. \n\nOk, this place doesn't look like a \"Scratch Magoo's\". To me a place named that would be a dirty Irish bar. This place looks like some place in a magazine or something. I guess I'm saying it's more \"upscale\" then the name suggests. But to it's credit/detriment it might be the first place I've seen people wearing fedoras and sweatpants. But what else should you expect from Phillies fans.\n\nThe service was mediocre but the food we had, crab rangoon and the philly cheese steak rolls were good.\n\nThe bar selection was decent and had stuff I wasn't familiar with.\n\nThere was an outdoor area but it was cold and rainy so I didn't explore. All in all I'd go back to check out happy hour and sample more beers.\nThe only thing was we tried to go to Kelly's first but they were closing so they said the best bar, besides Kelly's, was Scratch Magoo's. Really?? I hope they meant in the neigjborhood.",
"This is your typical local sports pub with strong drinks and a great beer selection. The food is standard pub fair. They have great specials and a very welcoming staff. If your looking for a sports in this area, this is your place.",
"I like scratches for two reason Happy Hour and late night beer buckets. This place used to be divey and filled to the brim with gross guys but after they remodeled it the clientele changed more yuppers and the like now frequent this place which explains why they decided to start serving brunch. Great idea poor execution they have 6 brunch entree options that are all standard and subpar. The brunch Bevs were BOOTY WHACK my mimosa tasted like cough syrup Blah! My brunch date wasn't a fan of her Bloody Mary either. The food just didn't do it for me the potatoes were way to large in size and some of them were over cooked and others still a little hard. The portion size was great but id rather get a little less food id actually enjoy than a large mass of Blah. The breakfast burrito was ok nothing to write home about. I probably will stick to Scratch's for my calories of the liquid variety"

"MMMMMMM.....fry sauce. If you don't know what fry sauce is then you need to stop by Hawking Pac-Out. They are and old school mom and pop drive through with greasy burgers, Idaho fies and delightful fry sauce. In sixth grade my teacher picked one boy and one girl to be the \"student of the month\" and their prize was to go to Hawkins during lunch.....I still remember being so excited to go. Also try their fresh strawberry shakes in the summer when strawberries are to die for....that is the only time I will go any where other than fancy freeze to get a shake, their to die for.",
"You can't go wrong here. This is one of the best old-school \"drive-inn\" style burger joints in Boise. The Herby burger is tits as is the rest of the menu. it is located on the way back from Bogus so it's perfect for after skiing calories. It's not as good as the Viking Inn but still very good.",
"The Baja burger is the one for me. It has a green chili on it.\n\nAlso the aptly named Bogus burger is safe for vegetarians.",
"Pac-Out is a one of the best drive thru burger places in town. The prices are reasonable and the hamburgers taste like hamburgers, instead of some mystery meat from other quick stop places. The Herby Special is a tasty burger with sauce and cheese, and comes with fries that actually taste like potatoes. Great place.",
"I have been testing out the drive thru restaurants in Boise and I have to say Pac-Out is the best so far. The food is tasty and low priced and the service is good. I tried hamburger and fries, shakes and ice-cream all very good.",
"There was an across-the-board mediocrity to the place that makes it better than the lower echelon of fast-food chains but not much higher.\n\nThe first time I went I played it safe and got their $5 value meal. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when I saw that the burger was more like a kids' burger. I learned my lesson and went for their two most premium burgers the next two times I was there. Unfortunately those burgers are on the dinky side as well, and I'm not exactly a fan of somewhat stale and crusty buns on my burgers. I felt like I was ripped off on my onion rings order given how many I got and what I paid for them. Their fries (which reminded me of Wendy's fries) are a better value.\n\nWhen it came to taste, everything I had was average at best, right down to the fry sauce. I didn't bother with their shakes. \n\nIf you live right by or are coming down from Bogus Basin and starving, this place will do in a pinch. Otherwise there are better burger places to be had with a couple extra miles of driving. My experiences there were a lot like my experiences at Viking, another longstanding local burger joint whose appeal escapes me. I thought the food at Pac-Out was a little better (most notably with the fries), but not enough to give a higher rating than what I gave for Viking.",
"Best burger and strawberry shakes in Boise",
"At best this place is over priced, with just OK food. I won't go back",
"Great fries! Food is a little more expensive, but worth it. Great shakes of the month.",
"One of the worst experiences of customer service I have ever dealt with in fast food. We had ordered 2 milkshakes. It took over 20 minutes to get them at the drive through and there was only 1 car in front of us. When we reached the window there was no friendly greeting, just told the amount. That was fine, we paid it, then waited, and waited. Knocked on the window and no one helped us. Finally someone came 20 min later, i timed it, and asked for our money again. Our shakes had been sitting there the whole time. We told them we had paid and had been waiting. The gal rolled her eyes, yes rolled her eyes and handed us the shakes and slammed the window. Will never be back again. You guys need some mature, responsible employees working there! We were greatly disappointed as I had heard great things about their shakes ours were too runny to enjoy. This was last Sunday the 8th of September, late afternoon."

"The motto Johnny's is, \"Where the food is better than it has to be.\" From the second you walk into Johnny's and notice the wait staff's, um, uniforms (?), you'll understand the motto. Let's just say that normally you have to venture to one of the X-rated venues across the river in order to see women dressed like this. This being said, if you do go to Johnny's, and can avoid staring or looking shocked enough, to actually order food and keep it down, the food is actually pretty good. And what a menu! Johnny's pretty much offers everything you could want to eat, and the French dip sandwich with fries I had was very tasty. Johnny's is open for lunch and dinner and has a more than thriving nighttime scene as well.",
"Johnny's is hilarious. It follows the Hooter's food service business plan: bar food, alcohol, and scantily-clad women. At least the servers have their choice in provocative clothing.\n\nI did note that the food was pretty decent here, and for a good price. At the time, I was on a vegetarian kick (not complete vegetarian, just tended to order a veggie meal) and their veggie sandwich was a meat-lover's dream: lots of cheese slices and expertly sliced onions, peppers, lettuce, and tomatoes. Good stuff!\n\nAnother visit turned me on to their wings, which are so much better than their corporate counterparts.",
"Alright so I've been here about half a dozen times or so before actually reviewing it. Some of my favorite quotes from customers, friends, and yes my dad and little brother.\n\"Doesn't this place belong on the other side of the river?\"\n\"Holy shit the food is pretty good.\"\n\"These girls know how to work it. I now know how that old fogey that Anna Nicole Smith (good rest her soul) married felt like.\"\n\"How in the hell did you know that Fridays are theme days?\"\n\"I'm moving to St Louis\" -- My 18 year old brother. \n\nOK so the women look like they are waiting for their next turn to take the stage. There isn't much to leave to the imagination, especially at the table next to the stairs. Enough about that. The food is pretty good. The portions and selections are big (insert sexist joke here) but prices are slightly high, except for the special of the day. I recently had a steak, buffalo shrimp, and 2 sides for $10.95. The sides are all extra but they are huge portions. My favorites so far include..... The cuban, the chili, the zydeco, and the onion rings. \n\nAnd yes, there are women who do dine here. Not many but there are some. Lunch time.... get there early. Lines can form out the door.",
"So I have gotten multiple requests from people I work with that I needed to hit this place up when I am in town. Finally caving in to that I swung by for some dinner.\n\nWell, where to begin? This place doesn't have servers or bartenders, a better way to refer to the ladies working here would be \"talent\". If you think the girls at Hooter's and Show-Me's show skin, you obviousley haven't been to Johnny's. Hooter's and Show-Me's girls would be the Sarah Palin's of the sexily dressed restaurant girls. With the Johnny's talent, I fully expect to see one, or mutliples of these girls in Playboy, Penthouse or possibly even a porno; that's how much silicone there was last night.\n\nSo...I understand we're in St. Louis and all, and Anheiuser Bush has a lot of influence, but for a bar and restaurant to ONLY serve AB products is beyond me. You have Schlafly in this city which is a MUCH better alternative. AB products aren't even beer if you ask me.\n\nThe food honestly was nothing to write home about. It satisfied my hunger but that's about it. I got the Johnnie's Sandwhich which was nothing special, and the fries were dry and lukewarm at best. They were the thinner fries which tend to be VERY easy to mess up, these were cooked too long, and as previousley stated, lukewarm.\n\nThere's really not much to say, they got an extra star because of the gimic factor of the place and I would say at least go there just to say you've been there. But beyond that I don't have much to say.",
"Sure, the women working here are scantily clad but at the same time they all resemble washed-up ex-strippers whose joints were too old and creaky to scramble up a pole. Just gross. The extra star is for the dude dressed up like Harvey Birdman who was sitting in the back. Avoid Johnny's. Unless you hate your penis.",
"Why is the food good here? It doesn't have to be. I have a theory, when cook dudes are looking for employment, if you're getting paid $8 an hour will you work at Johnny's or at Pasta House. Hmm, you figure that out.\n\nAfter hearing about why you should go here, you know you have to go.\n\nWow, the waitresses are (usually) looking pretty good.\n\nWhat is surprising is the food. Very very good. There are like 50 sandwiches to pick from.",
"I had been hearing about Johnny's since moving here a year ago from every guy I know in St. Louis. My first impression was, \"couldn't these girls make more money if they just went on the other side of the river?\"\n\nThe girls that were working that night didn't leave much to the imagination (which I certainly didn't mind) and they all had great bodies. \n\nThey were just, well, old. Too old. Not for like, the earth. Just to old to be working in a place like that. I figured they had retired from work across the river and come here because I'm sure the tips are spectacular. The ones that weren't too old, just weren't that pretty. I've been told that the Friday lunch girls are the best, but its also the busiest time so be prepared to wait.\n\nAs for the food. Absolutely worth every penny. I would come here for the food before I came for the girls, but I know I'm in the minority when I say that. But seriously, try the wings. You won't be disappointed. And I've heard that's not all that's good. I'll update once I get to a Friday lunch and try something other than the wings.",
"Here's what you need to know about this place:\nFew things worth mentioning for anyone looking to give Johnnys a try.\n\n\n1. Food is outstanding to say the least. Couple things to try are definitely the wings and the shrimp po boy.\n\n2. The motto to remember when it comes to the ladies working is \"less is more\". \n\n3. Tip well.",
"A true restaurant with waitresses in small little outfits. I am sold (for lunch out with guys and some women).\n\nI remember walking in here for the first time for lunch and thinking wow that is a tiny outfit on that waitress. Every waitress had a different outfit and all looked personally bought. I mostly remember the brunette in a short skirt sailor outfit...\n\nThe real shock value of the place was and has always been the food. I had an great grilled chicken sandwich on my first visit and excellent sandwiches or specials since then. This place is a real restaurant with waitresses that happen to dress in tiny costumes. Most visits I have come to the realize that the scantily clad servers only take orders and get drinks... food service and cleanup is done by the guys that I barely notice... Johnny's is PRO women's liberation.\n\nThe ladies seem well rehearsed in blowing off customers so I am not offended when my compliments seem bounce off invisible shields. They are friendly, but busy.",
"Only been here once, but the place is gimmicky. Yes, the waitresses are hot and wear next to nothing, the food was surprisingly good, and the place did \"honor\" a reservation for a large group at the same time a Cardinals game was finishing. All reasons for the 3 stars. Otherwise, this place lacks something.\n\nIt didn't bother me since it was a guy's night out (all married), but it was a little surprising there was not a single female in the place except for the waitresses."

"BEST PIZZA ever. I love this place, everything is delicious here. The marinara and bbq chicken with peppers are my favorite. And the garlic sticks are to die for. This is a best kept secret in jersey.",
"I wouldn't say the best ever, but quite good. Big selection and nice eye-talians runnin the show over there.",
"The best pizza in cherry hill.\ncrispy, tasty, not too salty\n\noriginal NYC style pizza. not comparing to a bertuccis or california pizza kitchen (which is eh)\n\nthey have the zeppolli too (puffed funnel cake like donut with powdered sugar)",
"People's is a place that is near and dear to my heart. They are super close to my house and my family and I sometimes find ourselves ordering People's twice a week. Their sausage pizza and cheese steak hoagies are excellent. Although I've never tried them, my parents rave about their \"special\" steaks with mushrooms and their pizza steaks. People's gets crowded on the weekends so be prepared to wait a while for your order, but if you call in you'll get in and out. The men that work there are super friendly Italians who just want to \"make food, not war.\" Next time you are by the Cherry Hill Mall, look for the little red car on the corner of Chapel and Rte 38, stop in for some pizza and you won't be disappointed!!",
"Remember Cheers? The place where everyone knows your name? People's Pizza is very much like that. The owners, a family from Italy, treat you like one of their own and will kid and play around with you while you wait for your pizza, cheese steak or zeppolli with Coca-Cola so good that it apparently runs directly from a tap out of Atlanta.\n\nTheir pizza comes is four different sizes and is done right. Not too doughy, not too sweet and loaded with your choice topping. For an added treat, their baked turnovers amplify their pizza goodness.\n\nEat in and enjoy the atmosphere - or call ahead for easy carry out. Calling ahead is indeed recommended during those busy weekend dinner-time hours. \n\nWithin walking distance of the Mall on the corner of Rt 38 and Chapel. Peoples!",
"One word. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm \nThat is all.\n\nIf Tacconelli's is my significant other... People's Pizza is my dirty mistress.",
"I had an AMAZING 12'' pepperoni pie from here last Saturday. The owner is a really friendly Italian dude and the customers there seemed to be regulars. The crust is a bit thicker than typical new york-style, but everything else is on point (crust texture, sauce/cheese ratio, etc.).",
"Great Tomatoe Pie, probably the best cheese-less pizza I've ever had. Dough was crusty and chewys in all the right places. Friendly service and great prices.\n\nGarlic Knots were ok, they are pre-made and just warmed up for you when you order them. Next time I will try some of their other offerings. Definitely worth a stop though. Will be back.",
"Great pizza. I eat here weekly with co-workers for the past few years and they always have a great variety of slices, always fresh. Best around.",
"I don't know what it is about this kind of pizza that prevents it from crossing state lines to Philly. It's literally right across the Ben Franklin, but most of the pizza over on this side of the bridge just isn't as good. This is real Jersey pizza (NY-style of course), and tastes just like a slice of my own suburban adolescence. \n\nThin crust, tasty sauce, perfectly salty cheese. Delicious and affordable at $13 for an extra-large cheese pie. \n\nExtra points because their business hours were stated as open until 10:30, but they stayed open until 11 and gladly made us a pizza at around 10:35. Also, the owner was super nice and gave us the leftover garlic sticks for free. \n\nIf I still lived in Jersey or didn't have to pay a $5 bridge toll to get there, this place would be worthy of being my go-to pizzeria."

"One of my favorite pizza places in town. They have great cheese bread, great pepperoni pizza, and great Italian food. Anyone who's near USF and hasn't tried it is missing out.",
"Jesus H. God, if Carrabba's gets five stars, CDB needs nine! My pizza-hating wife stole my slice out of my hand several times, and I was unable to finish the \"whole\" eggplant parmesan sandwich. Service was as fast as it could have been expected to be for a party of TWENTY-FIVE people (and nearly as many separate checks!), and they've got reasonably-priced pitchers.\n\nThe spinach salad is so good I remember it from years ago, the last time I was in town, and I'd never order the large unless I was with hungry friends. Which is a good thing, because at $16, it had better feed a few. Ditto the $20+ eighteen-inch pizzas with artichokes, tomatoes, and fresh mushroom (the \"A-T-FM\", my favorite). Totally worth the price -- but in this student neighborhood, you might have to eat ramen for a few days afterward.\n\nInsider hint: \"CDB\" doesn't stand for anything; it's a reference to children's book \"C D B!\" by William Steig (http://www.amazon.com/C-D-B-William-Steig/dp/0671666894).",
"No doubt about it: if you're looking for the best pizza in the USF area, you'll find it at CDB's. The pizzas here are piled ridiculously high with toppings. \n\nFact #1: I can eat a LOT of food. \nFact #2: I can only eat two--maybe two and a half--pieces of a large CDB's pizza before tapping out.\n\nThe \"Bee\" Meat Lovers Special is definitely the best pizza here... it's a carnivore's fantasy pizza. The A-T-FM seems to be popular with my friends, but I'm not a fan. \n\nI've never really enjoyed the atmosphere here--hence the one star deduction. It's also weird to walk in and awkwardly wait to be seated. I feel like the waitresses should do a better job of watching for guests who need to be seated. \n\nPersonal note: my sister and her fiancé went here on their first date, and they also got engaged here (a couple years later, of course). So if you're looking to fall in love or get married, arrange a CDB's date ASAP.",
"I did some research online and saw this place has some high ratings. I love pizza and have had some great pizza in my life (think Lombardi's Pizza NYC). I was hoping to find something close to work and school for a reasonable price. \n\nThis place is not it. The ingredients tasted cheap. The cheese had cooled by the time I got it (I had to wait for quite awhile for it though!?) and it was hard and rubbery. \n\nThe dressing for the caesar salad was watery and lacking flavor. On a positive note, the crust was good and cooked to perfection. \n\nThe establishment has obviously been around for awhile so maybe it used to be better. I saw an award on the wall from USF from 1986.",
"We went to CDB's on Fowler with another couple on Sunday, 11/14/2010 and what a disappointment. The table they sat us at, I pulled out the chair and the back fell apart. After going to a couple tables I found the sturdiest chair there.(all were in need of replacement) The table rocked so much you could hardly keep a glass from spilling.\nWhen the waitress got there, she said she was new. (No big deal, she was trying but had no real clue. IMPROPER MANAGEMENT, DID NOT TRAIN HER PROPERLY) We got our drinks and ordered, no problem. She brought us our bread slices, refilled drinks, no problem. We waited for some time expecting salads to show up, that did not happen! We asked for more bread and were told that we would have to purchase them if we wanted more. We declined that option.\nThree times she came by and told us our food was on the way,,,,,nothing.\nFinally the food starts showing up. I had ordered the Sausage Grinder, my girl friend ordered a Chicken Cesar Salad. The other couple had ordered a Sampler Platter and a Chicken Parmesan.\nI cut my sandwich in half and took a bite. NASTY, the marinara was like tomato paste and water, no flavor, no spices, and the sausage was no better. ( A hot Dog has better flavor) I told the waitress to take it back, and that I did not want anything else to replace it. (The fries that I ordered with it were good, so I ate them) \nMy girl friend started on her salad, and made a funny face. I asked whats wrong, she said taste this, so I did. The chicken tasted old and strange and we could not taste the Cesar, there was a very very lite coat of something on it but we never figured it out.\nOur friend took a bite of her Sampler and said, whats wrong with this red sauce, it has no taste. I told her that my sandwich had no taste ether. She tried to cut the chicken on her plate and couldn't it was so tough.\nHer boy friend tasted his chicken and the red sauce and they asked to speak to the manager. The waitress he asked said I don't know if we have one. She went off into the kitchen and several minutes later this man showed up. He had no professional manner about him at all.\nHe gave us attitude, and told us that we were wrong and walked away!\nWe cornered our waitress and told her we would pay for what we had, but not for the dinners or salad. She was very nice and brought us a check. \nFor the quality of the \"food\" we received, the prices were outrageous!!\nEven though she was new, she was the best part of our experience there.",
"Pizza here is not NY style, but was still tasty. Although I never remember having pizza that tasted so different when hot out of the oven as opposed to cooling down a bit. Chicken parma hero was pretty good, along with a tasty side salad. Interesting enough I saw several tables get huge salad, almost like a appetizer, they looked tasty. Overall it appeared this place had been around for quite a while & has a local following.",
"My favorite pizza in Tampa, also the only pizza place you can dig into sushi while waiting for your pie to come out. It can get crowded and servers get lost and overwhelmed so bring patience along with your appetite.",
"We love this pizza and always stop here on a trip to Tampa! Great service and as far as we're concerned the best pizza anywhere.",
"This place is absolutely awful The service is fine, and the pizza is OK. However, the last time I went here at least three German cockroaches crawled across the table.\n\nNeedless to say, I lost my appetite.",
"I love the special they have... the large one topping and chef salad. It's enough to feed 4 or more people and it's delicious!!! I always have a good meal every time I come here. The staff is usually pretty friendly because they are mainly USF students but sometimes the bartenders they hire are a little ditsy and don't really know what they are doing (late night only) Try sake house next door for cheap and delicious sushi!!!! YUM!"

"I didn't know pizza could be bad, but I feel compelled to write this review after eating the worst pizza I've ever had from NPC. My husband ordered a take out vegetable pizza with the usual toppings and a greek style salad. The worst part about the pizza was the crust. It was a bit like eating a cracker...really thin and crispy with air inside. I don't know how else to explain it. I realize some may like this texture for their pizza so I'll move on to the other major problem, the sauce. It was sparse to say the least and had no zest whatsoever. I like to taste the sauce on my pizza! Finally, the cheese was bland as well. Clearly it was just one shredded cheese but it tasted like a skim or low fat type mozzerella. It just had no flavor at all. Even the salad was just ok. I don't think it was as bad as the pizza, but I was really hoping to like something that we ordered and it just didn't work for me. Sorry NPC, but you've got a lot of work to do.",
"Terrible terrible experience. I thought for some reason that this place would be good and I was WRONG. It was the worst pizza that I have ever had. No flavor what so ever. The crust was terrible. The pizza was very greasy as well. There was not anything good about it. I also ordered a side salad and it was just lettuce right out of the bag. Nothing added, just lettuce. Terrible! I would not recommend this place to anyone.",
"Once upon a time, when the other options for pizza in franklin included such favorites as Sir Pizza and Pizza Mutt and nothing else, I suppose Nashville Pizza was pretty decent. But now that we have Mellow Mushroom and Brothers pizza, I'm not sure I see how Nashville Pizza stays in business. And I've always been confuse that Nashville Pizza is in Franklin. At the end of the day, the crust and sauce are bland, and the atmosphere is dull and lacking of interest.",
"I love this place! The pizza is great, and ingredients are fresh! One of the best pizza places I've endured in town!",
"This is a great find in the Grassland area. The pizza is good, especially if you like thin crust, and the location is family friendly. We've been once and plan on making it a regular stop.",
"Since this place is very close to where we live, we've stopped in a couple of times. This isn't \"blow your mind\" food....but it's certainly not terrible. I mean, I have to say Mellow Mushroom is my favorite, but this pizza is a totally different thing. The crust is very thin and cracker-y as others have mentioned, but I'm ok with that sometimes. I agree that the salad was pretty weak....just a bunch of lettuce. I would have appreciated some tomato, cucumber, carrot - something else on there. The service is always great, and I appreciate that they have TV's and beer (ok well those are probably better appreciated by my sports-watching, beer-drinking husband! But I like 'em too!). I think my only complaint with the last pizza we had was that it seemed a tad overcooked.\n\nAll in all this place is alright with me. I know we'll be back.",
"To start we waited an hour before asking our waitress why it was taking so long for a single medium pizza. Turned out she never put our order in. There was only about 5 groups so you would think one of the 2 waitresses would wonder why we had no food. They did give us our meal at no cost and the thin crust chicken pizza was excellent.",
"I finally found crispy thin crust pizza! Been looking for crispy, thin crust pizza and my real estate agent told me about this place. She was right, this is my new pizza place. I've only been to the Grassland's location, but there's another off of 96 around I-65. The pizza reminded me of \"pub style\" pizza that I'd get at places back in Boston (Stoughton Town Spa Pizza). The crust had a nice herb dusting to even make it more flavorful. Not a fancy, gourmet pizza place. It's casual, but that is what I was looking for.",
"Probably my least favorite pizza in Nashville. Pizza isn't HORRIBLE, but it's by no means good. It's edible.",
"I liked this place. Pizza by the slice for lunch only. Great sauce with just a little spicy kick to it. I had the veggie because I was dieting. I didn't expect to like meatless pizza but the sauce was great. The thin crust was crunchy and good. I have eaten there 3 times because a customer of mine likes it. I will come back."

"My family and I were in field service one morning and we passed this quaint house with a wonderful little sign. We were instantly hooked. The food was excellent! The service was very hospitable and friendly! The biscuit choices were extensive and sounded very savory. I recommend a blueberry or explosion berry biscuit for sweet. Any other biscuit for a thrill for your taste buds! The biscuit pie is very tasty!\nThe only downside of this fabulous restaurant in Mt. Juliet, TN is the space. This place is always crowed, as ANY great restaurant should be. So seating and space is limited. Probably best for take-out. This is a place you do not want to miss. This dining experience is worth it!!",
"A new local gem in Mt. Juliet. The biscuits here are so fluffy you'd think Angels baked them in heavenly ovens. Tender and decadent and obviously made with love. \n\nI never thought I'd be so smitten with something as simple as a biscuit. \n\nI stopped by one morning and grabbed a dozen peach biscuits (yes, you read that correctly) for my co-workers. Light, delicate morsels of yumminess with bits of peach and a delightful peach glaze. Yes, they were a hit! There was eye rolling and a few mentions how this treat surpassed getting doughnuts. \n\nAside from biscuits, there are soups, sammies, coffee, and tea. I'll be back to try those soon. But until then I am happy to have stopped by. I was the superstar of the office for a day. Pardon me whilst I adjust my tiara....",
"Visited on a Saturday morning and was so surprised and impressed. The building is a converted house with tables in the living and dining room. We had the trio dip and the pimento cheese was so flavorful. The chicken salad was creamy with grapes and shredded chicken. The spinach dip had chunks of bacon and was flavored just right. The buttermilk biscuit was flavorful, but somewhat crumbly. The strawberry jam really made it a complete joy to eat. The environmentally sustainable coffee was primal some of the best coffee I have tasted, although admittedly... I don't drink coffee regularly. \n\nThey will have an issue with space soon as the word gets out about this hidden gem in Mount Juliet. With only 5 or 6 tables, it will be really hard to get in!!",
"This definitely is a local gem worth seeking out. My husband and I tried the Blueberry with Lemon Glaze and the White Chocolate Raspberry. Both were yummy! I took a few of the Blueberry with me to share with friends. They all loved them, too! I love everything about this place and I can't wait to try their new fall flavors!",
"Wow! Cute little house converted to flavorful food to fill you up! These biscuits were the best I have ever eaten in a restaurant. They were big and moist and almost decadent. I tried the Caramel Apple Biscuit and the Pumpkin Spice Biscuit. They were great. The Hashbrown Casserole was creamy goodness. There were 5 of us at the table and not one complaint. The staff was really sweet and friendly. They have different flavors of biscuits on different days, BUT you need to go early so they don't run out of your favorite! They close at 1pm on Tues - Friday and 12 pm on Saturday.",
"Wonderful, little shop in Mt. Juliet with amazing biscuits. I purchased a big batch of these for my production team and they all loved the flavors: We had pumpkin latte, chocolate almond and sweet bacon with maple. I personally tried the Chocolate almond and it was \"to-die-for\". If you are looking for a sweet breakfast or a treat of these for corporate clients, I highly recommend them.",
"If you are on a low carb or gluten free diet, stay far away from here. The Snickers biscuit might kill you on the spot. But for me (I'm not on either of those food pleasure killer diets) this place is sort of what I imagine heaven to be. And the hashbrown casserole is the savory side to balance my sweet biscuit.",
"A word of warning: they aren't kidding about the portion sizes. We started with the creamy taco soup, which comes with a biscuit. Then we split the sampler platter, which comes with spinach artichoke dip, pimento cheese spread, chicken salad, and another biscuit. We tried a little of everything and it was all good, but we are bringing home a lot of leftovers.",
"On our maiden trip to SBC, we noticed a small bowl and entry tickets to a drawing for 3 Free Biscuits. We filled out an entry hoping at the least we would get notifications for new products, coupons or special events. Just a few days later we got an email that we were the winners of the drawing. Sweet Biscuits, I exclaimed.... \n\nToday we claimed our delicious prize, Cranberry Orange, Caramel Apple, and Turtle. Yummy yum yum... Thanks a bunch SBC.",
"Biscuits! Biscuits are delicious. They are huge. They are made with love. Or some really tasty hate. I love that they have Shineworthy Tea and local jam. \n\nAlso, the hashbrown casserole was delicious. The food came quickly, and we ate at thr table next to the fireplace.\n\nI tried the regular and cinnamon roll biscuit. The regular us easily my favorite. Definitely recommend giving this place a try."

"It's Mc Donald's and if that blows your skirt up you will be happy you went here. Fairly good drive thru service here haven't ever been inside to see the cleanliness",
"Worst in the country. I've lived a couple blocks from this place for 5 years. Want a McDonald's where they screw up almost every single order? This is it. Want staff that's rude, lazy and ill trained? This is it. And it's been that way the whole time I've lived nearby.",
"At least I can give this McDonald's three stars. Compared to the one on Severn, it is way better. Food is nicer, food is actually not stale. And the food taste better as well. I do wish the unsweet tea did not taste rotten, they need to clean their bins. Other than that I like this McDonald's. Too bad it's too far away from my house for quick access. \nAs far as customer service, well it's McDonald's what do you expect they all have bad customer service down here.",
"Store #3841. Rude employees. Food was cold. Took forever to pay for order. Two cars left before me. Comment line mailbox was full!!!! Duh!!!",
"This location is awesome enough for me to yelp. The employees are very nice and when I was having a bad day recently, the cashier told me how to fix my broken shoe. They always give me napkins and ask if I need ketchup. Super fast, hot food. I barely have to wait inside and the dining area is spotless. I'm glad mozzarella sticks were added to the menu too.",
"Rude night shift workers. Fries are ALWAYS too salty. However you visit around 1400, staff is normally hospitable.",
"They are awful and a joke save your time and money. Krystal the manner acts like she wants to get fired so she can collect unemployment. She did everything but tell me to f off. I asked her if they suppose to sell breakfast all day what's up why can't I get it. She said because we not selling it. We are sellimg burgers. After I waited 24 mins. they didn't take my order at the Mic she said at night they take one by one so you have to drive up to the second window to order. Ride and uncalled for never going back",
"I kept trying to give them another chance, but without fail they always screw up our order. Tonight was the 5th time they told me that they weren't serving any ice cream! I had a car full of boys wanting McFlurries, but nope. The machine can't be broken all the time - I just don't think they want to clean it or mess with it. And our drinks were all wrong and it took almost 10 minutes to get a couple orders of fries and chicken nuggets. All I could do was stare thru the drive thru window at one of the employees while she played on her phone while myself and 7 other cars behind me waited.. They need to clean house and overall clean the place.",
"Absolutely terrible. HORRIBLE workers with terrible customer service, & they act as though they're doing YOU a favor - which is hysterical. Ignorant, lazy, You name it. McFlurry machine is always \"broken\", and they always get your order wrong. On the bright side, Wendy's is across the street and a new Cane's is being built too. Thank god.",
"Worst McDonald's ever. It was one of the best in town for a while and now it's back to the most garbage mc d's around. God bless them."

"Penn Pines Diner is the best kept secret in this area for a great meal at a great price. The staff is always friendly and the food great. Lots of variety and the prices are super. The directions to this place are incorrect however. It is in a small shopping center at the crossroads of Providence Rd. & Springfield Ave. In Aldan, PA",
"Wish I remembered about this place more often because it really is good. Seems to be on site family run.food good. Service even better. Great prices",
"Great place for breakfast! Staff is friendly and food is great and fast! I look forward to the weekend so I can get some Pines Diner breakfast!",
"Good food. Below par service. Waitress never made eye contact, never refilled coffee, was slow getting to the table, took my order, dropped it off, no check back, and then just dropped the check. Thing is, she wasn't that busy. She was smiling and chatting with other guests, regulars I guess. If you are not a regular or a family member, don't bother. I won't be back.",
"Coming from Jersey, diner capital, I decided to stop in & try. WOW. Amazing! The food was delicious, the service... perfect. Greatblittle place for warm & friendly service & great food. Can't wait to visit again!",
"I'm not sure why this place is written as \"Pen\" instead of \"Penn\" but it is Penn Pines. Its a family-owned, hole in the wall that's my go-to neighborhood diner. My favorites are the croissant sandwich and Eggs Benedict. The prices are dirt cheap and the waitresses are always friendly. Yeah, places like this might have their slip ups, but overall I think they're great for what they do.",
"Being as it is literally right up the street from me no more than a minute drive, I tend to forget it's there. But when you want a great breakfast for a great price and a super friendly atmosphere you can't go anywhere else. The breakfast is amazing in my opinion and like i said for the price you really can't beat it. The food is always fresh and steaming hot when it comes out. Scrapple, Egg, and Cheese on a long roll with hashbrowns well done is the way to go for breakfast. As far as lunch and dinner go, believe it or not but the cheesesteaks are AMAZING and are my favorite in Delco. I know I know it's a diner how can they have a good cheesesteak but trust me if you go in sometime other than breakfast, please take my word for it and order a cheesesteak you won't be disappointed.",
"I've been to this place over ten times and I have always been more than satisfied. I always get the Pine's Special (2 Pancakes, eggs, breakfast meat, and toast), which is only about 7 dollars. The portions are always hearty and the price always right. I would urge the few that have had sour experiences to re-visit the Pine's Diner.",
"Penn Pines Diner...Nick & Lou's Pines Diner...whatever it's called it's one of the better options in the area for breakfast. I've never been here for lunch or dinner, but they are open for all three meals.\n\nEggs over medium and well done home fries - both were cooked perfectly. Service was friendly, but spotty, and coffee refills were non existent, but they were jam packed so I let it slide.\n\nSat at a table instead of a booth this time and the floor shook every time someone walked by, so try to stick to the outer booths.",
"This place is great! I went here for breakfast around 9:30 am on a Sunday. Yeah, it was packed. Despite that, we were seated right away and our waitress showed up very soon after. I ordered the blockbuster (French toast, eggs, two meats, home fries and regular toast), and the boyfriend built his own omlette. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and the prices were unbeatable. The service throughout was perfect, which surprised me because of how busy it was. This diner is nestled in a little strip mall shopping center, so it's easy to pass by and not notice it. Do yourself a favor and stop in."

"During the times when we were at Reno. We would always make a stop at the Asian Garden Restaurant for lunch and for dinner.\n\nThere are not to many chinese restaurants out there that has Sweet And Sour Pork With Fried Rice on the menu. But this place has it that's what, I like about this place.",
"had lunch here with 2 friends; i ordered the hunan chicken---which i thought was their version of hunan steam chicken, but turned out to be sauteed spicy chicken with some greens....nevertheless, the food was great. they got good service, also!",
"Waiting time is toooooooo loooooooong, we went there and sit for more than 5 minutes and nobody send tea or water. Even we had to take menu by ourselvies. There was 13 tables and only one waitres and one waitor. You have to be very very patient to get your food to be ordered. After a full day skiing, it is really a test to your patience!\n The food is worse than average. I ordered beef but I didnot taste , it is like eating paper. That is the worst I have ever eaten.",
"Great service, great food, wonderul atmosphere. It's casual yet nice. It's a very good place to bring the family for a chinese experience. The decor is beautiful and has a great sitting area next to the window. We came during Hot August Nights and it was perfect. \nI ordered the crispy garlic shrimp which came with a side of steamed rice. My husband had the kung pao chicken dinner special which came with an eggroll, rice, soup, and the chicken-very good size for what you're paying! (6.95)\nOverall, we are sooo happy to have found a chinese restaurant that we will be going back to again and again.",
"I will try to keep this succinct.\n\nHot and sour soup: hot, not much sour, and glutinous. Pork chow mein: very few vegetables, little bitty smidgens of pork, mostly noodles (good enough), also somehow glutinous. (One yelper used \"snot\" as a descriptor for thickness, but that's too sickening for me.) Pot stickers: barely hot, half-cooked. Kung Pao shrimp: no peanuts!?! (sacrilegious!) and only four small shrimp; also glutinous. Fried rice: dry-looking and with few of the little goodies like peas and egg dribbles.\n\nOK. Service? So-so. We were seated immediately, got soup quickly, and waited a while, compared with most Chinese places, for the rest of the food. (Had I been a starving skier like yelper Bin Y., I'd have needed a dose of patience, too.) Pot stickers, ordered as appetizer, came with the entrees. Server a pleasant young woman who never checked back after the entrees arrived. Ambiance: pleasant enough, with standard Chinese restaurant decor and fixtures.\n\nPrice: There are the two stars. Two entrees, an appetizer, tea, and cookies, and we got $7 back from $20. Enjoy the prices. I found little else to recommend here.",
"Let me preface this review by saying, the staff is (for the most part) VERY nice, and kind, and that about 5 years ago, this place would be considered a little known gem. The steamed broccoli is great, as well as the prices. Veryyyyy cheap!\n\nThis place is awful. I took my daughters here for lunch, as it had been at least 5 years since last we came, and we were feeling nostalgic. I ordered the crispy garlic chicken, my oldest daughter ordered some sushi, and my youngest one ordered a green tea ice cream, she wasnt really hungry. My Crispy garlic chicken came back as orange chicken (check out the picture). The orange chicken was not bad, but i ordered the crispy garlic chicken,i didnt realize it was wrong till i ate half (visited the bathroom) and my daughter reminded me i ordered something different. \n\nDid i mention bathroom? Its disgusting. You can see filth that is smeared around the base board, and it just feels as though its covered in a nice sheen of filth. \n\nThe crab rangoon was terrible, probably store bought from Winco, the cheapy ones at that. \n\nMy daughter ordered 3 long rolls, one of which was crystal shrimp. I suggested she order teh crystal shrimp because its like the base line were we compare sushi from all over. It was unedible. It tasted like old shrimp, was dry and nasty. The other 2 rolls were disgusting as well. My daughter loves even Raleys sushi, and this was worse than that. Quite an accomplishment. \n\nSteer clear of this establishment, unless you are dirt broke, and have a hunger for food poisoning.",
"What lured me into this place was the fact that it looked just like the Chinese restaurant my family would go when I was a kid. I walked in reminiscing on my childhood...until I tried the hot and sour soup. It was very spicy, yet very bland. It's as if, while they were making it, they thought \"It's okay, it'll be so spicy that they won't even notice the lack of flavor!\" Well, the joke is on you because I did notice. I also noticed that the Pad Thai my boyfriend ordered looked nothing like Pad Thai! This is what Pad Thai is supposed to look like: http://geschmack.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/img_0998.jpg. Mmm, so delicious. Unfortunately, this is what we got at Asian Garden: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/tbUx7IVMkF-iAeximEeuzg?select=FspN7ccycFNyqWwG_IfqSA. Now does that look like Pad Thai to you? It looks like someone tried to make pasta, but screwed up and figured if they just add some egg, they can call it Pad Thai. There weren't any crushed peanuts in the dish or anything that would make you even guess that it was Pad Thai. It was completely tasteless, except for the lime that we squirted on it. We didn't even bother eating more than half. What's the point of eating something fattening if it's not going to taste good? The waitress only came to our table to take our order, then bring us our food. My boyfriend had to get up and find her in order to get our bill, otherwise we would've been late for our flight at RNO. The only thing I liked about our meal was the crispy garlic chicken, but that's not saying much because I love almost everything with \"Garlic\" in the title. \n\nSorry Asian Garden Restaurant, I'll have to pass on your \"Chinese\" food.",
"Got a \"Deal Chicken\" coupon to try this place. I did read the other reviews but I don't trust reno opinions too much. Their palette seems to lack a little. That aside, we took the plunge and tried this joint. For once the other reviews were right. This place was harrible! Food had NO FLAVOR at all. Decor, service is not even worth commenting on, we went to eat. For a food that once thrived on MSG, this place seems to to have forgotten how to season. Won't return. :(",
"Just don't go there unless cusine, ambience and service are low priorities in your life of dining. Reno has far better Chinese restaurants! Jus sayin!",
"A lot of my friends have eaten here and have told me great things about the restaurant so I was excited to go try it out myself. Being that it was my first time, I followed my their advice and ordered the Crispy Garlic Chicken. The reviews I had on the entree did it justice--it was amazing. The service was great! Everyone was friendly, accommodating, and helpful. Don't let the appearance of the restaurant fool you. It's one of Reno's yummy Asian treats when you're craving for something that's not sushi."

"best chinese food outside of china town (maybe even if you included it). they don't use a lot of oil in their food at all. i like the chicken and vegetables and sesame chicken. one problem is that they don't have brown rice (welcome to philadelphia).",
"The menu found its way into my apartment when I asked my landlord if he knew of any good Chinese food places that would deliver. I now hand out the menus to everyone who complains about their Chinese delivery experience.\n\nThis is all I want from Chinese food delivery. It isn't too expensive (but not dirt cheap which I think is good because, as we all know, that is a suspicious quality). The person who answers the phone speaks English. It has all the classic menu items. They deliver very quickly. The delivery is free (with a min of $8). It is not greasy and does not cheap out on the veggies! \n\nSpeaking of the veggies, hooray! They give you a whole variety of them and they are obviously not from a can. Look at the mushrooms. That is how you can tell. I am a huge fan of their Hot & Sour soup. They put fresh chopped green onions on top, lots of egg and bamboo shoots in and the broth is thick and incredibly flavorful. I could eat it every day. I also recommend the Hunan chicken. Finally, if you order more than $10, you get a free soda (or egg roll but those are greasy for me, as they are supposed to be)! \n\nSo, in conclusion, although this is no gourmet restaurant, it is a so-far flawless instance of a Chinese food delivery joint. I am a repeat customer full of compliments and yummy food.",
"This place is great. I live in the Graduate Hospital area, and the neighborhood Chinese places are definitely sub-par. I called this place up after I saw it on yelp, and they told me they couldn't deliver here, so I rode my bike over to get it myself. When I got there, they asked me where I lived, apologized that they couldn't deliver to my block b/c it's too close to Washington and their guys are afraid of going there, and that next time I call I should ask for one of the guys and he'll drive it over in his car.\n\nAlso, the food was great for regular Chinese take-out. I had the sweet and sour chicken and my friend had the general tsao's tofu, and both tasted fresh with just the right amount of flavor, and little to no grease, which I'm used to expecting. Plus, little to no MSG hurray! great food, great staff, definitely a choice, friendly, tasty neighborhood Chinese place.",
"Pros: \n1. it's close to home & they deliver!\n2. their food tastes fresh & it's not greesy!!!\n3. the portions are pretty good & they have good deals.\n4. delivery's pretty fast\n\nCons:\n1. make sure everything you ordered is in the bag when you pick up or get it delivered!!! they've cheated me out of soup before! \n2. they have tables in their place but its so creepy and sketchy, i dont understand why they even have them there...\n\nIf it's late... I'd get delivery or go with someone. that whole being next to a strip club and bar can have interesting characters hanging outside..",
"Surprisingly, this is either the best or second best take out Chinese I have had in Center City. The location is not it's greatest asset. (It is next to a porno theater and a strip club.) But the food is so good! Great flavor and quality. I used to like City Garden best but I think they have gone down hill. Now I pretty much do either Golden Lake or Szechuan Hunan. (Maybe I order too much Chinese take out? A question for another day.)",
"I've eaten here 3 times, and at first was impressed with the portions and super fast delivery. However, the more I eat here, the more I realize that the chicken in their dishes is really questionable. The chicken is not tender, some pieces are brownish and stringy looking. Tastes like old scraps of chicken. \n\nTheir hot and sour soup is pretty tasty, the vegetable lo mein is decent.",
"Cheap, Fast delivery. Arrives hot. Try the vegetable lo mein! I appreciated the unexpected free coca-cola. Nommmmm.",
"I have ordered delivery from here several times now and it always arrives piping hot and delicious. I've had the sesame chicken, which I love, the wonton soup, eggrolls, and the pepper steak. I wasn't too keen on the pepper steak, but maybe that's because the sesame chicken ROCKS! I order at least once a month. \n\nAlso, for certain amounts spent they will throw in a freebie like a soda, eggroll, or wonton soup. I think I'm going to start requesting my free item however, because they always just give me the soda when I want my darn free eggroll or soup! \n\nGenerous portions too!",
"Surprisingly good Americanized chinese food. The prices are very reasonable too. Delivery is quick and they accept credit cards (over $10). I recommend getting the chicken mei fun. They cook it really well and the portions are huge!",
"I'm not sure why this place gets such consistent good reviews. I stopped in and ordered pork lo mein, pork fried rice, and wonton soup. While I waited for the food to arrive, I saw a critter run along the baseboard in the dining room (my grandfather used to call them \"field mice\"). Yes, I brought the food back to the office anyway. The wonton soup was not even warm (keep in mind, I waited while this was being prepared), the wontons themselves were thicker than most pasta and flavorless, the \"fried\" rice was just colored yellow rice warmed in the pan that was sort of gluey, and the lo mein was just not anything to write home about. I ended up throwing it all out and got a salad someplace else instead. Seriously, folks?"

"This is a much needed addition to the fast-caz scene in Philadelphia. It's gourmet food to go. Authentic kebabs and sides, and one of the best baklavas I've had in the area.",
"Unexpectedly great quality meats and flavors on the kabobs. And for the price, its a 'win' for lunch.",
"Was in town visiting family and this place caught my eye. It was SO good! I was with a few people and it was nice that it fit all our needs-I got my meal as a salad and the other two got their meals as plates. All excellent, fresh, and healthy.",
"My wife and I stopped by this place the other day because we heard it was worth checking out. The food was amazing! She ordered a shwarma sandwich and I had spicy chicken kabob on a salad. The meat is incredibly fresh (not to mention local and organic) and it really sets this place apart. They obviously care about their product because from the taste of it they are paying a premium for that meat! The place functions kind of like Chipotle, but with Mediterranean cuisine. You pick a base, a meat, then various freshly cut toppings and sauces. The mango chutney should not be missed! We also got a side of hummus which they must have made fresh because its probably some of the best hummus I have had outside of the Middle East. Bottomline: its well worth visiting over and over - we actually had lunch there then got dinner to go.",
"Just checked this place out yesterday. I had the sirloin steak kabob salad and all of the ingredients were very fresh. The mango chutney is exceptional, as is the gyro. I couldn't get enough of the hummus, which they told me is made fresh in-house. I tried it mixed with minced jalepeno from the hummus bar. Would love to come back since everything on the menu seems pretty healthy.",
"i hate reading all good reviews, coupled with the LONG lines at lunch time. it makes my expectations too high. it was 9$ for a veggie rice and a soda which seems expensive. the to-go dish is good quality, the kind you could reuse, so points for that. \n\nbut there were only 3 falaffels on the plate and they were dry.... and the toppings bar looked messy. so much so that i did not even want some of the toppings. their greek sauce had dripped into their hot sauce and the lettuce was wilted, the cucumbers were not fresh. the hummus was good though. very garlicy with out being too garlicy. i really enjoyed it. \n\noh well with all that said i would still go back. i eat at liberty place almost every day for work and it is another viable option that is not a greasy hamburger. but dont get too excited, its far from perfect.",
"I had the spicy chicken wrap which tasted great. The toppings/sauces give each order a distinct flavor. I have been to this place twice and both times the owners have asked me how my meal was, what could have been better, etc - great customer service!",
"I kind of hate the Liberty Place food court. It's crowded, loud, and full of unappetizing chain food. Enter the awesomeness of Zaffron, which I unexpectedly stumbled upon while running errands over there earlier today.\n\nNot feeling decisive enough to make my own wrap, I went for the Spicy Chicken Wrap, which was chock full of spicy kabob chicken, saffron rice, roasted pepper salad, and the harissa hot sauce. SO FLAVORFUL AND SO GOOD. I could take a bottle of that hot sauce home, no problem.\n\nAdd to the entire mix their hummus bar, where you can choose different things to add to their homemade hummus (jalapenos, olives, roasted garlic, etc) and the vast selection of other sauces to add to wraps, salads, and platters - you can pretty much get different combos of ingredients every day and not get bored.\n\nThis is the flagship of what is going to turn into a chain, and I think they're on to something here! Keep it up, Zaffron!",
"Let me first say that there is no problem with the food at Zaffron. It's actually really, really good. There's tons of options and everything tastes fresh and is reasonably priced. The one thing preventing me from giving four stars is the portion sizes. The wraps look decent, but every time I get a salad (the greek is a favorite), I feel like it's mostly lettuce. They use these teeny tiny tongs that pick up about 3 cucumber slices or 2 grape tomatoes. If they stepped up the portioning a little, and therefore the value, I would be here everyday.",
"My new go-to place in the TLP food court. A new fresh and healthy option.\n\nI like that you can add virtually anything to your wrap, but that is my recommendation. Definitely add toppings and sauces to the chicken kabob and falafel wraps, as they are a little plain otherwise. You can always add the hot sauce which helps. I'm used to Maoz, where you can add so many toppings. I was a little bummed that they started charging to add hummus. But maybe because their hummus is GREAT! I got a small container of it to take home and I ate it all in one sitting!"

"Let me start out by saying that I've used Copper Kettle for catering before and have been impressed. So, this Mother's day, I decided we would take my mom and family out for their Sunday Mother's Day Brunch. What a mistake! First off, they do not take reservations, but do call ahead seating (meaning you can put your name on the waiting list before you get there). So, because we had a large group and wanted to be seated by 1:30pm, I started calling around noon, and every 5 minutes thereafter until I finally reached someone at 12:40pm. They put our name on the list and we arrived promptly 1 hour later at 1:40pm...we still had to wait outside for an additional 30 min!\nOnce we finally got seated, I noticed that they had pushed a few tables together to fit us all in (there were 9 of us) and my chair literally touched the person behind me even when it was all the way pushed under the table! We got up to grab our food from the buffet, and had to wait another 10 min in line before we even got to the buffet table. Once we FINALLY got to the food, it was mostly cold, mushy, tasteless, and definitely not fresh. We were so disappointed. Now we're home and my entire family is not feeling well (I hope we don't have food poisoning). The worst part of the whole ordeal was that we had to pay $19.95 a person! We will never, go here again and I will not use them for my catering needs either.",
"I was there on the Mother's Day Brunch that is being debated above. I have to agree with Judy N. I could have gone to Golden Corral and received food that is more fresh. My entire party was sick the remainder of the day. \n\nI believe the root of the problem was that they tried to squeeze too many people into the building. I couldn't even get out of my chair because they had another table pushed right up against ours. Our servers(we had 2) both commented on how ridiculously overcrowded the seating arrangements were that day.\n\nDrop the greed next time guys and only serve what you can comfortably fit into the building!\n\nI am usually a big fan of Copper Kettle but they dropped the ball that day.",
"I have been here twice...once for Friday night dinner and once for Sunday brunch. Both were great meals.\n\nFor the Friday night dinner, we got there somewhat close to closing time so the food (chicken) was not the freshest but still good. It was enough to entice me to try their Sunday brunch. I did that about a month later and it was amazing. So many wonderful choices! I was impressed with everything I ate. The restaurant itself is in a good location with a great view of downtown and a nice outdoor area.",
"i had a great time in nashville when i came down to visit a friend. \n\nCopper kettle was delish, really wanted to get everything off the menu but friend stopped me before i tried to clog my artery. \n\nit was good food and good service, but i have to say their view of the downtown skyline was adorable!",
"The food here is good. You go through a line and either get a premade salad, order a sandwich, or off the daily line. I always order off the line so I can't comment on the sandwiches though I see a lot of folks ordering them.\n\nThe food is good. Sweet potato casserole and green bean casserole are 'just like mom made'. Pecan crusted chicken is one of my favorites. The chutneys are really the crowning touch as are the breads.\n\n\nPrices are a little high and the portion sizes a little small but it's an overall good experience.",
"This is my favorite lunchtime spot. They have Meat and 3 every day but i love their regular menu items. I usually get the CALIFORNIA CLUB. It's the best sandwich in town with avocado, sprouts and fresh deli cut turkey. I love their mango sweet tea. Staff is always friendly willing to bus your table or help you with any extras you may need. Can be busy at lunch time so if you go during the off peak times you may have a better experience. Try the coconut chicken from the meat and 3, another favorite of mine. For $12 lunch, it's worth every penny. \n\nDon't miss the mango ice tea either!",
"My friends and I read about this place on 365 things to do in Nashville, so when we came down here from Chicago we checked out the Sunday brunch. The brunch is a gourmet buffet with everything you could ever imagine for around $17. In addition to the buffet there are made to order omelets and waffles (they take your order and bring it to you vs. the standard buffet omelet station). We tried the special - chorizo omelet with provolone and mushrooms. Delicious! The food was fantastic & the service was terrific. I highly recommend this place - outside of BBQ this was the best meal we had in Nashville",
"Solid. The line at lunch speaks for itself. \n\nI can't remember what their seating situation looks like.",
"YUMMM!!!! Check the menu for the day they serve the coconut chicken.",
"I honestly would come to this place for the excellent selection of salads, but the other goodies make my lunch worth the while. Today they had chorizo stuff mushrooms which were pretty outstanding. I'm still bummed they stopped serving dinner and now focus only on the lunch."

"I believe this is where the locals get their crawfish? $3.99 a pound for cooked crawfish. Not bad at all. No complaints, it was good but not great. I think I've gotten used to the sauce-y, garlic butteryness lathered on my crawfish so this was just well boiled crawfish. \n\nOther items on the menu:\n+ turkey legs\n+ sausage\n+ boudin\n+ neckbones \n+ corn, potatoes",
"One of the best markets to get wonderfully seasoned seafood! This is the place where I first tried neckbones. Their boiled crawfish is usually spot on. Their potatoes, though, are legit. I come here just for the potatoes sometimes. They are delicious :)",
"Best seafood in NOLA. I have been going here for years. You know its good when Emeril Legasse and his dad are regulars.\n\nGet a few pounds of crawfish to go. Go grab a park picnic bench, 6 pack of Abita beer, and you're good to go.\n\nNot touristy. Mom & Pop type place.",
"This is a place that you must go into a real neighborhood to find. If you are looking for boiled seafood, this place is the truth. \n\nThe closer you get to Mardi Gras time, the longer the lines get for this place. The flavor for the crawfish and turkey necks are on point like a sniper's scope. This place is not a torist trap place, with a huge fancy building. You just have some local Algiers, New Orleanians that knows what great flavor is when it comes to boiled seafood.\n\nMany seafood options, but I just do my crawfish and turkey necks here...happily! Definitely let these people test your taste buds.",
"Shrimp are great and their Yacamein is money for the hangover cure. \nIf you go for crawfish during the season and you want it spicy, go towards the end of the day after the pot has really taken in all the flavors.",
"Our go to spot for crawfish. We get the crawfish and all of the sides that we like (Corn, Potatoes, Sausage, & Turkey Necks) Sometime the spice can get to be a bit unbearable, buy today they were spot on! I can't wait until we get further along in the season so the crawfish can be bigger.\n\nBig props to these guys for sticking ONLY with Louisiana crawfish. Last week they wouldn't sell the Chinese frozen stuff because of our bad weather.",
"I love J & J's! Growing up on the Westbank this is one of my go to spots for wonderful seafood. The seafood is spicy but amazing. I love the turkey necks, sausage and boudin.",
"This is one of the few non-Vietnamese owned seafood places who do crawfish spicy enough for me. Really good pricing and spiced to perfection.\n\nWhat more can a chili-head crawfish lover ask for? Oh, beer. But that's about it.",
"I wish they had more locations!!!! I travel all the way from the east just for the quality and taste that only j&j can provide! Spice and flavor! Even the potatoes have flavor lol",
"I went here because the guy on nola.com said that they had some of the best crawfish in the city. Boy was I disappointed! Small crawfish at a high price that tasted like they had been reheated. Yeah, they were spicy, but they tasted like someone just dumped cayenne pepper on them. No seasoning to make the spicy flavor more complex. \nDon't know about the rest of their food, but I'll never go here for crawfish again."

"I'm very happy for Aldo and Manny that they have maintained their successes and have been fortunate to be able to open a second restaurant next door to their Foods on First which they have owned for years. Now they have a pizza and pasta restaurant to complement their mini-empire!\n\nI work very close by and was anxious to try the pizza once opened. Today was that day. The restaurant was clean, sat about 20, and has a full selection of pizzas ready to go for slices. The grill is in the back for things like cheesesteaks, grinders, burgers, and grilled/fried appetizers.\n\nI did not have any of the pasta dishes, but I'm certain that they would be just as good of quality that I could get at their other establishment next door.\n\nAs far as my pizza slices, I went with a pepperoni and a Sicilian slice. Once they came out of the big metal pizza oven, there was a too-long wait for my coworker's fries which made the slices go a bit cold. I should have had them put it back in the oven again.\n\nI prefer my pizza a little well-done, but these slices were very tasty and had quality sauce and cheeses. It did not taste like pre-made chain pizza. The Sicilian was really good and crunchy but not too much. \n\nThey sell Pepsi products.\n\nAbout $5.50 for my two specialty slices which I thought was fair.\n\nI really want to try the meatball or chicken cutlet Parmesan grinder!\n\nI wish the business all success!",
"Tourists looking to rest and have a quick bite on St Patrick's Day. We were in the area, my wife wanted pictures of the game pieces. After we were done, we stopped in for some pizza.\n\nIt had been more than two weeks since I had pizza, I may have been in withdrawals. Or it was all the steak and cheese I was tiring of.\n\nBonus points for having pizza ready to go! Many different topping selections pre-cooked and quick reheating all that's needed. The pizza was very good. My wife liked the mozzarella sticks.\n\nStaff were friendly and inquisitive. We were from Massachusetts and on vacation in their fair town. \"You enjoying St Patrick's Day here!\" Lol ummmm.... sort of. We're from Boston. Boston is a standard for St Patrick's Day. This is okay. \"Ohhhhh.\" #sorrynotsorry \n\nWe enjoyed this little shop in Downtown Philadelphia.",
"Stopped in for a couple of slices. A wide selection of premodern pies, Stromboli and sandwiches are on display. Counter man / pizza maker greeted me immediately. I ordered two slices of pepperoni and grabbed a bottle of water from the cooler. When the cashier was done with the couple ahead of me and viola, my slices were ready. \nSat downtown eat, they were pipping hot, lightly sauced, lots of cheese and a reasonable scattering of pepperoni. Greasy, crunchy and tasty . A good choice for a fast mid evening meal",
"My friend and I were touring the Love Park with our moms and decided to stop by this pizza place and WOW!!!! Food was delicious but not only that Delvis was AMAZING!!!! Our moms speak Spanish and I think he picked that up and started speaking Spanish which made them feel EXTREMELY comfortable! No only that but from the conversations we heard from people coming in and out you can tell that they really appreciate this place and that it's an important part of the neighborhood! After being in Philly and running into unfriendly people I am so glad that our random luck brought us here because Delvis was SUPER NICE and gave ridiculously amazing customer service! Their tag line of \"Enter as strangers leave as friends\" was definitely accurate! Thank you!!!",
"We ordered a south Philly pizza. Italian sausage, green peppers, onions, and mozzarella cheese. This pizza was very tasty, very good. The crust was light, not heavy and doughy. If we ever return to Philadelphia, I would come back here in a minute!",
"For Philadelphia's standards this is a quality pizza place. I came here for a quick bite and was very happy with the plain slice. The crisped crust added a good extra flavor to each bite. It cost something around $2.70, which I thought was fair. They offer a good selection of specialty slices in the window counter and have plenty of tables for eating in. I'll be back next time I'm in the area.",
"My husband and I were visiting Philly today and while we were between museums, we got hungry, so we stopped into this cute little place.\nI got a veggie grinder and my hubby got a cheese steak, and we shared an order of fries.\nHubby said his cheese steak was excellent, my grinder was so delicious!\nThe best part of the eatery by far though, was Delvis, our server! He was so friendly, welcoming, and very personable, so keep it up Delvis! You made our day trip Philly very worth it! Thank you so much!\nGive that man a raise!!!",
"Good variety. Crispy crust! Tomato sauce is way, way, way too sweet for my preferences. Forgettable pizza. Nice staff though !",
"Very nice place. Some friends and I are visiting from California and were walking around the city and stopped in here to eat. We did not regret it. Great service and great food. Our server was named Delvis and he was the most adorable and kind server! highly recommend this place!!",
"We ordered delivery of a sampling of dishes because I really wanted to do a thorough review. Luckily my eating partner in crime likes to share. We ordered, two slices of pizza one standard, one tomato pie type, 1 order of fries, a regular chicken cheese \"steak\" hoagie, and a slice of chocolate cake. There's quite a bit left, we ordered too much food and it was all quite filling. Both the regular slice and the tomato pie slice are HUGE ( please see photos). \n\nService: 5/5\nThe folks at A&M are all really nice. From Madeline on the phone (yes like the children's book series) to the delivery man (who was very nice and exactly on time) everyone was sweet as can be.\n\nFood:\n1 slice tomato pie with cheese.4/5 (rounding up it's really a 3.5/5 read why...) if you want cheese it's a $1 more which is fine. But like the other reviewers reported, their tomato pie-sauce is very sweet. We both enjoy ALL types of pizza but I'd probably revise the sauce recipe for the tomato pie with or without cheese. It's far too sweet as-is and not chunky enough. The dough is crispy and a little thicker than their regular pizza 4/5\n \nA slice of standard cheese pizza 4/5\nThis rating is based on a bite (stolen by me) of a single slice of cheese pizza pie.I usually like reheated pizza better because I prefer thin, crispy crust. I agree with the other reviewers, the crust is nice and thin. It's light on the sauce and an average amount of cheese. It's a bit on the dry side but very edible for sure. Were I the pizza chef, I'd probably under bake the pies slated for single slice sales and then finish it off during the reheat for the single slice customers. That would probably be the best of both worlds. I think the final product using that method would probably be a better quality product.\n\nFries 4/5\nThough they came luke-warm, delivering hot, crunchy French fries packed to go in plastic or styrofoam container from over a mile away is virtually impossible . But as requested they did not add salt and after reheating for 10 min, they were perfect. \n\nChicken cheese steak hoagie 5/5\nYou have to like tiny sliced/cubed chicken breast meat for this type of chicken cheese \"steak\" hoagie to work for you. The tomato and lettuce were very fresh, and the hoagie came hot on a scooped roll (as requested). The roll was the soft kind but it was definitely a hoagie/cheesesteak roll. I think the onions were sautéed separately from the chicken. We added our own mayo and sweet peppers. It was tasty, the meat was very lean and wholesome and not the least bit greasy or wet. 5/5\n\nDARK Chocolate cake 3/5\nThis layered chocolate cake was moist, dark and rich and tasted like it was coated with espresso powder. My dining partner liked it but we both only had a few bites. It's not a huge slice but it's plenty to share and we left more than we ate."

"Great new local sushi place. It's nice to have options in Center Grove. Since it's all new, it's very clean. Staff was very friendly. Food was great.",
"We happened to go during the grand opening. We tried some sushi, pad Thai, fried rice, kimchi and they even brought out a few samples of other dishes. Everything was absolutely delicious and I think we will be regularly going from now on. The interior is small but very nice and they also do Carryout orders. The food all seemed to be made with very fresh ingredients.",
"Excellent! High quality ingredients make a huge difference. They focus on organic options. Tried a few options we typically do not order courtesy of the owner. Cucumber salad and punkin soup and they were amazing. Best Tom Yum soup we have ever had and highly recommend it. Sushi was extremely fresh. Service was excellent and Daniel spent time with us talking about the menu and hos vision for the restaurant. A WELCOMED addition and change of attitude for Greenwood eatery. \nNatural, Nutritional, Neighboring - their sign says it all. We will be back!",
"Just tried this place yesterday and I know I'll be back many times. The staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly and even brought out samples for us. The sushi was so fresh and definitely a higher quality than any where else I've tried in Greenwood. Amazing!",
"The quality of the sushi/sashimi was very good. Comparable to Kumo, but with more hot dish options. I highly recommend the Sea Bass. \n\nThe service is outstanding. Servers were polite and courteous. The ambiance is perfect for a date night.",
"The best sushi on the south side of Indy. Went here today and had no clue what to expect as options on the south side of Indy are slim when it comes to sushi and oriental food. This is the best and I'll even say it rivals Ocean World on the north side. Believe me I've tried them all. Staff is super friendly. Ingredients are so fresh. And a bright atmosphere. We only ate sushi and can't speak of the Korean and other dishes this time. Lunch specials are superb. My family and I will be back and we'll continue to invite friends and family here to eat. Do yourself a favor and come here.",
"Salmon and tuna are so fresh! Everything is delicious and the service is fantastic. Highly recommend.",
"Wonderful experience! The menu has something for everyone. We had the seafood rice bowl with hot oil on the side.Delish. The tempura was light and the shrimp was so fresh. Hand and maki rolls were full of fresh salmon and tuna. The gyoza was pan fried and tasty. I have eaten all over the metropolitan area and this place rivals any place on the northside. Calling all sushi and noodle lovers!",
"Absolutely fantastic! \nWe had The Sweet Angel and the Incredible roll both were the best, light and warm and crunchy. The biggest surprise was the Ramen - it was authentic and wonderful. The fact that they have Ramen in Greenwood- is unbelievable. \nThey even have a fresh juice Bar - Amy will make them for you. The staff is warm and welcoming and the atmosphere is intimate. We will be back and probably before the end of the week. The prices are very good. \n\nI predict that they will be very very successful!",
"As it started snowing, one of the men inside the restaurant told me that when it snows in China, it is seen as a sign of good fortune. Well, my good fortune started when I took my first bite!\n\nThis locally owned restaurant has a variety of sushi options as well as dishes from China, Japan, and Korea. I stopped by for lunch and was impressed with the number of lunch options. Many of those come with a complementary bowl of Miso soup and a small green salad with ginger dressing. The soup uses large pieces of seaweed to add extra flavor during the cooking process. The salad is fresh and is dressed only on the top, but with enough that you can add some flavor to each bite.\n\nI started with the Sashimi (10 pcs of assorted fish). My colorful plate arrived shortly after I finished my soup and salad. There were five varieties of fish/seafood arranged over fanned cucumber slices and shredded white carrots. It also came with lemon slices and an orchid (which is also edible!) The fish was very fresh and in most cases, very tender. I think it was the first time I have tried pink tuna, white tuna, and yellowfin tuna at the same sitting, so it was interesting to note how significantly they varied in taste. The sliced octopus was much tougher to eat (I've never had it raw before) than the tuna probably because it was from the tentacles which are quite muscular. Still, with a bit of soy sauce, the flavor was quite good. I finished the platter with the salmon. Rich and bright, the fish nearly melted in my mouth. I will definitely get more salmon at a future date.\n\nI also wanted to try a sushi roll and went for the Green Dragon. This 7 pc roll comes with cucumber and cooked eel inside, and is topped with avocado slices or cooked eel. Each piece also has a drizzle of \"eel sauce\" (sweet, salty, and savory) under the toppings. Wow! This was fantastic! Highly recommended.\n\nAnd if you are someone who appreciates a chef's artistry, the plates are so appealingly decorated. The chef creates Japanese inspired art with the colorful array of sauces at the sushi counter.\n\nThe staff/hostess were all very welcoming and checked by during each course to make sure I was enjoying my food. Nice conversation without being interrupting. Service was prompt and checkout was a breeze in this full service establishment.\n\nThey do have a few non-seafood options available for your friends that may not like traditional seafood or sushi. \n\nI will mention that the prices are higher than most lunch options in the Greenwood area. This stand alone business can't get all the discounts of the massive chain restaurants in the area, but the quality is phenomenal and worth treating yourself to. The atmosphere of the restaurant is tastefully integrated into the industrial strip mall space. The noise level was in the quiet to moderate range.\n\nReview #463"

"One of a kind place! Artisan Mini pancakes, Liege waffles, coffee, and more! Something new for a booming up and coming city!! Had the pleasure of going over to try it out and ... you are missing out! Best liege waffle in town! The cheesey oinkie was savory, sweet, packed with flavor. The coffee was just what you need first thing in the morning! More into the sweets? The Elvis waffle hits the spot with their delicious peanut butter sauce! The owner is truly wonderful and has a contagious smile! Definitely a place worth visiting (over and over)!",
"Wow! The moment you walk in this place you are made to feel at home! It is adorable and welcoming in every way! \n\nNow on to the food... AMAZING! They have sweet and savory options! My son got the miss piggy which is basically a pizza waffle and he loved it! I got the strawberry and cream waffle and it was packed with flavor that delivered a punch! Their ice coffee was the best I've had in a long time. The owners are as sweet as the waffle I got! I will be frequenting this lovely gem often.",
"Batter & Dough was delicious!!! Mini pancakes were perfectly made, and lots of toppings to choose from. Took my daughters and all three of us loved it!",
"In their first week of operation, Batter & Dough already delivers! I had a Samoa in the dough (waffle) style and it was one of the best waffles I have ever tasted! Very awesome staff and I can't wait to go back and try more!",
"Super excited that we have a new local sweet dessert and cafe shop in the area. There needs to be more in Wesley Chapel.\n\nCame in here after an ordeal at the dentist office and this place made it oh so better.\n\nThe owners are super nice and friendly and decided upon the mini pancakes with toasted coconut, dulce de ledge, & chocolate & the smooth criminal - strawberry, banana, marshmallow with chocolate on top - basically a fruit kabob.\n\nWhat made it even better was the passion fruit slush. \n\nThese were so amazing, sweet, and good.\n\nWe had a good time talking to the one of the owners that was incredibly sweet and awesome. \n\nI can't wait to try the liege waffles, sweet and savory eats, and the iced coffee. \n\nI'll definitely be back!",
"First time here, the place is clean and the decor is nice. I think it's a little overpriced, but the waffles were pretty good. We got cheese waffle and dulce the leche one. The cappuccino is pretty good. I'm giving 4 stars for 3 reasons, first it's regarding the price, second it's because of the wait (it's a little longer than I expected), third it's because of a mistake that was made by the staff. We ordered dulce de leche, she misunderstood and gave us the wrong waffle and we told her, she asked us to pay the difference (which isn't a big deal. It was only $2 dollars), however I thought wasn't nice to ask to get up right away and pay the difference since it was their mistake, not ours. \n\nSince it's a new place, some hiccups are expected, not a big deal. I would definitely recommend the place to other people and will be back eventually.",
"AMAZING deserts I've only been there once and it was delicious and the waffles are fresh and warm",
"I took my boys here today and it was amazing. The ladies were super nice and made sure everything was just right. I had an iced coffee, as simple as that is, it was delicious. Not sure what coffee they used but it was so good. Actual coffee flavor :) \nMy boys each got a dessert and I was amazed by how good it was. The waffles were fresh and the the toppings were just right, not overloaded and over sweet. The portion size was perfect too. We will definitely be going back.",
"A welcomed addition to the area. Pancakes, waffles, milk shakes and more. Sweet or savory, the choices are endless. There is even a create your own option if you're feeling creative. The Elvis waffle was fantastic. The peanut butter is mixed with condensed milk to make it more like a sauce. The \"Cheesy Oinkie\" was a hit with my wife... think grilled cheese with bacon, but on a waffle. My toddler LOVED the fresh, made to order, mini pancakes with sprinkles. The pancakes are delicious; although mini, you still get that wonderful light and fluffy pancake that everyone loves. The owners are wonderful, welcoming people; who walked us through the entire menu. You can't go wrong checking this place out.",
"YUM. This place is not only adorable, but their baby pancakes are so delicious and cute! The owners are unrestrained in their kindness and helpfulness deciding. Super sweet people. Modern, clean sitting area. They've got sweet and savory options to satisfy every pallet! Well we back every time we're in the area."

"Great BIG burritos! BUT, they use a ton of salt in their burritos!!!\n\nI think half the burritos is good and manageable, but when you start to cut into the second half, you realize that the abudance of salt they add to try and kick up the burritos is overpowering and takes away from the taste of the burrito.",
"One of the most cleanest and modernized fast food Mexican restaurants here in Tucson. Cashiers are nice, although they need to do a better job listening to orders (and by better job I mean a MUCH better job). The mini salsa bar has a really cool carrots/onions/peppers combo, and overall the food is of good quality. I enjoy their bean burritos as well as their cheese quesadilla. Wasn't too much a fan of the Huevos a la Mexicana, but I'll definitely continue here and enjoying their sizable burritos!",
"Unfortunately, the last few times I have been to this location as it is two minutes down the road from my house, my order has either been all wrong or something is missing. Though! They have fixed the order(s) and has been delish every time.",
"Been stopping at various Los Betos just for the convenience of getting some horchata that isn't the watered-down version you find at Arco AM/PMs, although that fountain version is acceptable. Use to get it at a local hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant which had THE best horchata in town, but they are now extinct. Sad face.\n\nOn this occasion, it dawned on me as I was driving by that this is a new Los Betos, well fairly new, close to where I live. I don't know why it didn't register before. So I stopped and got some horchata for the family and I was a bit hungry, too, so I ordered a bean and cheese burrito. Well, it wasn't an \"-ito.\" It was a burro. And only $3.35. Plenty of beans, could have used a little more cheese. The beans were really tasty, surprisingly so. I can't describe it, I want to say a \"roasted\" flavor, but that's not quite right. I really enjoyed it. Good tortilla, too. Maybe sometime I'll try something else on their menu.",
"Will first time i said maybe a mistake, so i tried a diffrent location, and now even worse.....both times i order chicken qusidilla and burrito...and both time there was a bone with the chicken and the chicken is row not cooked....they never listen ...just want ur money for now and don't come back again.....scrow them.....need some english speaker....we r in america",
"Upgrading from 3 to 5 stars. \n\nThe service has improved dramatically since I initially started eating here. I love it when Rigo is the chef on duty. He knows exactly what I want and how i like it. Extremely nice and friendly. The ladies at the counter are also very friendly. I walk in and they ask, \"the usual?\" I will try something new one day, but most days it's a \"you know it!\" or \"absolutely!\" \n\nIt's cheaper than Nico's but more expensive than my other favorite fast food mexican place, Paco's. The beans here are simply delicious!",
"Los Betos. Tucson's answer to Los Favoritos (or perhaps vice versa). The only true challenger, currently anyway, to the Nico monopoly on Tucson's Late Night Burrito Soul. In my humble view it's just a lil bit better than Nicos. A lil. \nThis particular Betos is home to the most important ingredient in any kitchen: consistency. Time after time I come away satisfied and thinking I ripped the place off for the price I paid. Sure it could be the nights libations and the fact its 330AM every time I visit, but still. \nThe other little tid bit that pushes this place from your average whole in the wall to 4Star late night dining is their comparatively great red salsa. I'm always extremely disappointed in chain Mexican establishments that have the watered down, bland red salsa. Truly a sin against God. \nIn summary, you can't go wrong here. Literally open all the damn time, so make a bad decision with/for your gut. It won't be complaining afterwords",
"Great food, great prices, great service\n\nYou can't beat their chips & salsa!!!\nSoooooo good & such a good deal!",
"I have tried this location twice now, and both times we not good. On my first visit I had a Green Chile burrito, and a Colorado Chile burrito. Both burritos were more than half rice. Tonight I ordered a Green Chile burrito, and a Shredded Beef Super Burrito, which has lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, pico, and peppers on it. This time I told them I didn't want rice on either burrito, so instead the filled most of the burritos with beans. The so called Super Burrito was more lettuce than anything else. The pico de Gallo was very old, and had a VERY BITTER onion taste. The so called Green Chile burrito was shredded pork that was dry, and overcooked, and NO green chiles. They put a small amount of there green hot sauce on the dried out pork, and called it Green Chile. This also the haf the NASTY\n\nI've eaten at the Berto's chain all across the state, and these guy's are the worst I've ever had.",
"Very friendly employees and delicious food. I really can't beat the location. I love that there is a salsa bar and complimentary chips if you order inside. The inside is clean and welcoming. Also, it rarely busy so it's good for families with kids if you want to eat there. Price is what you would expect out of a local taco shop. They usually have a good dollar deal and a daily soup or two. Being from Mesa, I still prefer Filibertos but location is key for me. Additionally, a BIG PLUS is I haven't had to worry about them missing any of the order like I do with Nico's."

"I've lived in the area since the place that is now Hokkaido was Ryan's, then I think some country buffet, and then Journey (an overrated Chinese buffet). My parents have been going here for awhile and raved about it, however, I was reluctant to try as I am not a fan of buffet places. My saying about buffets is as quantity of food increases, quality of food decreases. Therefore, I had my usual high expectations but was expecting an okay meal.\n\nAs soon as we walked in, I was amazed at how nice the place cleaned up. Unlike the previous restaurants, Hokkaido has a very classy sophisticated vibe. The lighting was dim, matching the dark colored wall/carpet. This is in stark contrast to the stereotypical family buffet with the ugly flower wallpaper and the cheap green carpet that looks like it's never been cleaned. From my experience, restaurants rarely take the initiative to renovate their restaurants, so seeing this is a plus.\n\nAlthough I didn't take advantage of the \"stir fry/hibachi\" section, it looked nice and clean with wonderful meats and other toppings. There's a cooked meats section with looked pretty good, but unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of it. I was particularly surprised by their sushi. Sure, it's a Japanese restaurant, but that doesn't mean there will be good sushi. The sushi is simply fresh and pretty darm good! The the rest of the dinner sections are o' plenty. They had their basic Asian buffet foods (egg rolls, chicken, etc.) and then nice surprises like coconut shrimp, baked flounder, siopao (rice buns). Most of them were simply great, so no issue there.\n\nThe fruits and salad section was nice a fresh and sat next to a chocolate fountain...how dope is that!?!?!? I didn't care for the desserts. They're the typical Asian buffet desserts (pre-made square lookin things and cream puffs) which I never thought highly of. Thankfully they had almond cookies and ice cream (albiet in cup form).\n\nThe service was great. The waiters were friendly and even the manager (I think?) came up and asked us how we were doing, which is a great way to build rapport with customers. Overall, this place looks very promising and I look forward to coming again.",
"If this place was more organized for customers waiting for to come in and eat it would get the fifth star. \nFood was fresh and hot tasted good. Big selection to choose from. I didn't even make it all the way thru. \nSushi was on the mark and seafood was good.\nLike I said the set up and organization of the place gets a grade of \"Weak\". Waited on clean plates and food on the line alot and when dishes did come out you had to check make sure they were clean. \nI grabbed two plates thata still had food on them. So did my girlfriend. But good food at a good price..",
"When you first walk into the place you will probably be as surprised as I was when I walked in. For a buffet I was not expecting it to look as fancy as it did. I have been a here a few times now. Once with a big group of 20 people from work at lunch and the staff was very accommodating to seat us with no notice of that many people coming. \n\nThe selection of different food was very good and it is probably one of the best Asian buffets I have been to. The food was always hot and pretty fresh all the times I have been. They also have a stir fry station where you can pick fresh vegetables and meats and noodles then someone will cook it on a hibachi grill for you. This is a pretty nice option if you are trying to go with a healthier option. I would say the sushi is pretty decent for Midwestern sushi, but after living in Florida for a year it is hard to compare. \n\nPrices are also pretty good. It only cost me $12 with tip for lunch and then the times I have been for dinner it was about $16 with tip. Overall I would say it is a good value for the price.",
"Best buffet on this side...Mostly chinese and seafood. But it was good. sushi was good too, lots of variety. I went on a saturday and food was nice and fresh. they have a carry out box which is $14 which u can fill up, and they give u a soup bowl to fill up too. I will have to try that one next time. seafood and sushi is defenitley worth $14...cant wait to go again...",
"Wow I have been driving by this place and never realy payed any attention to it. Then I read the review on here. It is the best Buffet in town my GF had 6 plates and she only weighs 95 pounds. We will be back!",
"We went here on the recommendation of a friend. It was exactly as described, a HUGE buffet with Chinese food, sushi, stir fry and much more. The food was plentiful and refilled/refreshed often. My family especially enjoyed the clams, wish I had saved room to try some, but I was stuffed! The deserts were also great with a chocolate fountain! You cannot beat the price here for the dinner buffet, we certainly got more than what we paid for!",
"Four of us went to dinner last night after several friends gave us rave reviews. I took my husband, whining and crabby because he does not like buffet restaurants. The initial impression of the physical space is \"nicely done\". I couldn't even remember how it looked when Ryan's was there.\nNow the food- first I have to state we are sushi snobs. We LOVE sushi. I make sushi at home --but it is sooooo time consuming to make and soooo fast to eat- so I wanted to eat sushi without all the work. My husband, Oscar the sushi grump, was not convinced. But, after the first or second bite, he was won over. He mumbled, \"I can't believe it\" over and over as he munched through 3 plates of sushi and sashimi. The wasabi was nice--so many times the wasabi is just green tasteless paste. This stuff had the punch we like. I mix mine with soy sauce, my husband eats his plain. I did browse the other food and I sampled maybe two items. I couldn't drag myself away from the sushi area. The only thing they could have offered to improve my experience is unagi- but then one can't get every thing in life.\nI never had a chance to look at the Mongolian bbq grill area-- I have been spoiled by great Mongolian bbq meals in Taiwan--the originator of the concept. But, I will make myself try it the next time. And, there will be a next time. \nThe entire bill for 4 with 4 ice tea/sodas = $55. Now how can one go wrong with that!?",
"I'll definitely be a repeat customer.\n\nAlthough the labels on the food are off sometimes (steamed vegetables had \"Frog Legs\" over it), the food itself is delicious, especially if you're into sashimi. It was light, fresh, and completely awesome, especially for the price point, which was $8.50 for lunch.",
"Hokkaido MIGHT be my new go to restaurant for chinese buffet.. The layout is nice the atmosphere is classy (As long as you tune out all the cammo that happened to be \"Perusing the Vittles\" The food is good and compared to other buffets this one you can actually see the steamers WORKING so your food is at a good temperature. My only complaint is a two part complaint. #1 I understand that bringing your children to work is kind of standard at these buffets.. not uncommon, what is uncommon is to actually see these children doing anything other than being quiet, sitting in the back \"Family Room\" eating noodles. Here these children are VERY present. Eye balling people as they race around the restaurant. It is very distracting and a bit annoying. #2 IF you are going to have your children racing around the restaurant please do not feed them a Kilo of sugar! Perhaps install a couple of well placed walls (like a maze) or better yet Trap Doors! I dont want to hear or see children racing around squeeling at the top of their little lungs while I eat.. I find myself fighting the urge to stick a foot into the aisle when the come racing by. Other than that I like the food, and (most of) the atmosphere... price is fair, and for a buffet the sushi has more potential than most..",
"When it comes to good Chinese buffets in the metro east area your choices have been pretty much limited to Ginger, until now. Hokkaido opened recently in the old Ryan's Steakhouse location and they have done some extensive renovations to the interior. Overall the selection is great, traditional Asian inspired food, American, large desert bar, and a hibachi station. The food is great, probably one of the best Asian buffet in the St.Louis area. The food was fresh and the chicken was moist and tender, nothing was dried or tasted like it was sitting out for a long time. \n\nPrices are fair, lunch was about 25 for two with drinks. A little bit more expensive than some of the other choices like Ginger, however the food was much better and that more than makes up for the difference. Trust me if you are considering between the two I would choose Hokkaido any day over Ginger, and I used to love Ginger. \n\nFor those in Missouri Hokkaido also has a location in North County, more specifically Florissant, MO off North Highway 67. I haven't been to this location yet however I would assume that the quality is the same.."

"Returned to this place where I've eaten about once a year under several different ownerships. On April 14 it showed potential traction with well-prepared, attractive basics (real pulled pork on bun, excellent fries right out of the fryer) although considerable mystery as to future business plan. The server was intelligent and presentable though the food was slow to the table - a real problem in this unique lunch-dominated market. Really hope it takes hold in the north downtown which is short of good mid-price restaurants. Already benefiting from a general clean-up, paint-up after many years of one horse operations (not referring to the edibles) which were shabby and worn with depressing colors.",
"I give it 4 stars only because it wasn't consistent.\nI went twice and ordered the same dish.. But it wasn't the same.\n\nThe one really bad thing about this place is that the menu doesn't have any descriptions written next to the name of the dish. So, if you aren't familiar with Dominican dishes then you will have no idea what to order unless they explain the whole menu to you. I highly recommend you add descriptions to your menu.. More people will come in.\n\nThe first time my dish was AMAZING! I tried to order it again but the beans they included were different and they forgot to include the avocado I requested.\n\nThe meat and the sauce were still amazing though.\nI don't remember what the name of the dish was that I ordered because the girl had to go through and explain the whole menu to me but it there was meat with a delicious sauce, white rice, beans and she suggested 1/2 an avocado to mix together with the rice and beans.. Incredibly yummy. \nThe second time I tried to order the same but I received red beans and no avocado which I asked for. Maybe the beans were good but I don't like red beans so I didn't try them.\n\nEven so...\nGo try this place out...",
"Oso's just opened but it should already be added to your lunch rotation. A fantastic mix of Caribbean staples with some more American flavors, the unique menu stands out among the other downtown restaurants. The decor is a bit stark for now but don't let that color your judgement. Don't miss the fried plantains!",
"Ordered some lunch to go. The front staff is awesome. Very friendly and inviting. Really like the openess of the room. super clean environment. I purchased the chicken street tacos with rice and beans. The ingredients are very fresh. The tacos had so many wonderful flavors without being over powering. I will definitely be going back.",
"Oso ? More like , \"oh so....good\" this place is amazing, and the staff is super friendly. Not familiar with the menu items? They make sure you are fully informed of the delicious items you are about to order. \nDon't miss this opportunity to dine here dinner.",
"Had no idea what I was walking into. Oso's Republic is a Dominican restaurant with an American twist. I got the Cubano, and my lady got the tacos. I'm not exaggerating when I say the pork was the most tender, well seasoned pork I've ever eaten. Coupled with the red cabbage, cilantro, and avocado, those tacos were absolutely delicious. The Cubano had on it delicious persian pickles that really complimented the chunks of pork. The American twist? Came with delicious French fries sprinkled with light cheese and a sided with a tasty aoli.\n\nOh my, the flan dessert just now arrived and it looks like a work of art. \n\nDo yourself a favor and come check out oso's for lunch.",
"Sooo happy to have another dining option close to work. Especially one as delicious as this one! Prices are very reasonable for quality and quantity of food you receive. The Cubano sandwich is fantastic, as is the iced coffee. \n\nThe iced coffee comes sweet and with cream added.",
"After driving by this place and never stopping, a friend recommended going for lunch and I'm ecstatic they did because it was amazing. If you love Latin cuisine, not Mexican, Central American, then you'll love this. \n\nI had the cheese empanadas with the seasoned maduros. The crust on the empanadas is the best I've had in Indy, the seasoning of a garlic salt mixture on sweetly cooked plantains is mouthwatering.\n\nThe chili maduro tacos are a must. They aren't too spicy and the mixture of flavors is like a dance party of taste.\n\nIt's hard for me to find Latin cuisine I really like in the states, but this stuff is awesome.",
"Stopped by for a quick dinner - what a lovely experience it was! The pork sandwich was very tasty and toasted perfectly. The plantain chips were to die for (seriously, try them instead of the fries, you can get fries anywhere, you can't usually get these). The service - personable and friendly. Five stars!",
"They have a great menu with lots of choices. The food is always delicious and the staff is very friendly. I've been here for lunch several times now and will probably be back even more."

"I like the atmosphere of this tiny place off the main strip in Broad Ripple as much, if not more, than the food. The Egyptian claims to be modeled off Egypt's illustrious El Fishawy, a playground for local artists and bohemians (if you can be a bohemian Egyptian, I dunno). The hookahs are imported from Egypt, and these antique, rusty smoke kettles sure look that way.\n\nI've spent hours playing cards here against the ambiance of foreign dialects, enjoying my falafel (it's pretty good and pungent here) and hummus. My boyfriend thought his gyro sandwich of beef and lamb was just \"okay\" ... but he doesn't like ethnic food much. Try it out if you like Middle Eastern food.",
"Having been first for both The Egyptian and Khoury's, I now humbly declare myself Crown Princess of Hookah, Kingdom of Indianapolis. Yes! Check that off the Lifetime Goals List. I knew all that fawning in front of the mirror in tutu and tiara as a child would pay off someday. Oh, hell, who am I kidding--I still do that. No, really.\n\nAnyway, for daytime hookah adventures, this place definitely bests Khoury's. Their hookahs are cheaper and, arguably, more flavorful. They tend to employ young, cute and artsy waitresses, if you're into that. The ambiance is perhaps my favorite of any restaurant in town. It takes me right back to Istanbul--the dark wood furniture with intricate inlays, the star lamps, the willowy potted plants and the multitude of mirrors. I love it. The music could stand to be turned down a notch, but perhaps even saying that betrays my age. I'm old enough to appreciate a venue where I can actually hear my companions.\n\nWhich brings me to my least favorite aspect of The Egyptian. If you are old enough to drink in public, do NOT venture into this place on a Friday or Saturday night. You will be knee-deep in underage college students looking for a place to show as much skin as possible and get mildly high (hookah does give you a slight tobacco buzz, after all). Even amongst that demographic, I would have guessed it'd draw a goth/pretentious/art victim kind of crowd. But no, it somehow functions as a vortex for bottle-blonde girls wearing those brightly colored, sweatshirt-fabric mini-skirts and jockish guys in ball caps rakishly turned to the side. If I wanted to go back to high school, I'd...well, I'd actually kill myself first. \n\nAny other time of the week, though, it's wonderful. I recommend a pot of tea and a large order of hummus with your hookah.",
"I have no credibility in rating this spot because I rarely go to hookah joints. I am rating based on customer wait time, menu options and hospitality. I ordered the gyros, which were not bad nor good. The Egyptian tea is not what I dig, it is very tamarind tasting which I do not prefer. The beer selection is limited but the wine menu is quite vast. The location is quite pleasant for all the young peoples to go and hang out. As for the hookah, I guess it is quality. The workers know what they're definitely doing and help out the newbies. Hope this helps! good eats and good smokes.",
"Stay away from grape leaves but everything else is good. Good value on hooka and as a first timer flavor of tobacco was nice and smooth",
"oh Hooka!!?? i didn't know i was going to time-travel 2000 miles away to Egypt to a dimly lit (even in the daytime) smoke filled rooms, but i went in because i'd heard from a friend that they have the best burger in town, to this & all the other restrs that uses Sam's Club cheap 1/2 lb burger, this one is Pretty good, having stopped smoking 7 months ago (& still counting it day by day), i didn't have the Hooka, but i want to, i liked the Egyptian fries but next time i'll ask them to double fry them, i would have liked the seasoned steak fries a little more crisper",
"No food for me this time but enjoyed the hookah. Looking forward to coming back. Hopefully the smoking nazis won't shut the place down before then.",
"The food was excellent. yes it was pricy but the food was incredible. We also did the hookah, which was novel. Try their hummus dip!",
"Note: This review is only for the food, not the hookah. \n\nAte the chicken kabob for dinner. It was dry. Egyptian tea: gross! And not just regular gross, it was offensively gross. I like most teas, but this one had awful before/during/aftertaste. Seated quickly with really friendly service. It was a hot spot for the young crowd.",
"Quick and couteous service - great ambience, with decent food and music. The free wifi was a bonus and hookah flavor selections were cool... my waitress tended to refills and coal quite regularly which is important at a hookah lounge!",
"Where can I begin?\n\nWent there on a date in which my date arrived early and was hit on by our waiter several times until I arrived. But wait, he continues to do so while I was there. Strike one.\n\nDon't get me wrong, however, he didn't do so often while he was there because he only came to our table a total of three times over a two hour period and never with what we asked in addition to what we ordered (i.e. another glass of water, a fork, the bill, etc.). Strike two.\n\nSpeaking of the clearly poor customer service, I ordered lemonade which took me 30 minutes to get because it was \"coming.\" I expected to be blown away by the taste of freshly crushed lemons in some honey-based liquid. Alas, it tasted like something a step above warm Minute Maid lemonade. Strike three.\n\nWith three strikes most people are out of the game, right. Not really, you ever play something baseball related game (softball, \"piggy,\" strike out, etc.) with somebody who refuses to leave the batting position. Well that's this spot.\n\nWe (remember I was on a date) were now late for two movies that started because we thought we could just pick up some grub and drive down the street to Glendale Mall. We were finally smart enough to ask for the bill when he arrived to our table with our main meals (of course winking at my date). The bill came and it totaled nearly $60 which I was floored over because all we ordered were hummus, two entrees, one late lemonade, one sprite, and a hookah. A small order of food + not so good (but not terrible) = high bill. Strike four.\n\nLastly, I began to feel extremely bloated while eating my meal prior to us leaving for the flick. During the movie I had no appetite for anything such as popcorn, etc. Because it was rumbling like a Tums or some other ant-acid commercial. I have been nursing clearly food poisoning symptoms since eating at this (insert expletive) place such as vomiting, diarrhea, the runs (and I mean the sprinting), and headaches. This is not good especially when I have to give lectures at work on a stage. I now appear to my students as a person in need for Flomax. Strike five-ten.\n\nIf this were that baseball-like game with that person who refuses to get off the batters box but is striking out, then at this point me and the other kids are whooping that (insert expletive) and taking the bat away. I had high hopes for this place being a vegetarian, a muslim, a traveller, and a foodie. We went on a Monday so I didn't experience the mad rush of drunken Broad Ripple-ites, it was only four other tables with people in the whole place. Minor positives: location and parking are great, ambiance is fabulous, and hookahs are cool.\n\nSadly, that was the last date with the person I went to but more importantly this will be the last time I care to venture into this place.\n\nOne"

"I love Steak N Shake. I've been the left coast and tried In N Out and I see what the appeal is to them, but Steak N Shake is a totally different menu, although there are several similarities in their operations. Steak N Shake \"steakburgers\" are really low fat ground sirloin, not just ground beef so the thin diner-like burgers are actually a better meat choice. There aren't any fancy sauces for the burgers, it's a burger straight up and you add toppings at a cost (ie tomato, cheese, bacon) and the standard veggies are complimentary. They slice their pickles the long way because apparently that is just a cool thing to do. \n\nHowever, since I don't eat as much beef anymore, I still stop in for what I feel is the main attraction: The Shakes. These shakes are too thick to be initially sipped through any straw, however it is not the consistency of a Wendy's frosty to eat with a spoon. It is simply a perfectly handspun milkshake that comes in so many flavors many of which are combinable (is this a word?) in a side by side shake in the same glass (like chocolate and banana.) \n\nOther favorites are the generous taco salad in an edible bowl (came out way before Wendy's, or anybody else for that matter), their delicious five way chili (eat your heart out skyline), and their patty melts. They are always experimenting with new things on their menu, but they have a pretty aggressive and memorable advertising campaign, so you'll know the latest creation, or old skool menu favorite that's around. \n\nLast thing: Steak N Shake is habit forming, more than some drugs. Whenever my sister comes back to town from NYC, the first stop is the airport Steak N Shake. There's just something about this place once you started hangin out at this place after midnight as an adolescent - You keep going back as an adult every once in a while to reminisce.",
"Went to the drive through at 1:40 pm for a shake. There were 4 people in line all probably ordering food. The line didn't move for 8 minutes so I decided to go in and see if I could get my shake since the other people may have been waiting for food. Laziest group of workers I've seen in a long time. 2 girls watching a microwave, 1 guy doing nothing but dancing in the galley for the 2 girls watching food cook, 1 guy cooking 1 steakburger on the grill, and no one at the register to help me out. At least I could see why it was taking so long for the people in front of me to get their food. Waited for 1 minute and left. POOR POOR Management!! Went McDonald's and got shake in less than 1 minute.",
"I love me some Steak N Shake, but this location has been hit-or-miss for me in the past.\n\nOn one occasion, I called in a takeout order for lunch, was given a time to come in, and still had the bag served up twenty minutes late with no apology (after standing and waiting the whole time). Another time while waiting in line to pay, I was yelled at (as in, literally shouted at) by the woman at the register to \"COME ON!\" as soon as the guy in front of my was finished paying. Even if I hadn't been paying attention (which I was) and was lollygagging in going up to pay (which I wasn't), snapping at a customer like that is pretty rude.\n\nAll that said, it's seen improvement lately and I haven't had a negative experience in a few months.\n\nUPDATE: Apparently they haven't changed, because they were mean to my co-worker recently. Docking a star.",
"The sliders (small burgers) were so thin that it was hard to taste or tell there was any meat in the burger, but the flavor was good.\nAs for the service, I could do without my waitress talking and gabbing with her friend next to my table. Couldn't you have gone somewhere else to gossip and chit chat?",
"This was my first visit to a Steak and Shake. I was surprised to find fast, friendly table service. The burgers and shoestring fries were great !! I loved the guacamole burger. Four of us were served quickly as the place started to fill up for lunch.",
"Hands down, this was the worst STEAK AND SHAKE experience I have had ever. I've enjoyed their menu coast to coast, but while in Indy... Good God man! The tables were cluttered with dirty dishes. It took us 10 minutes to see our first waitress. Out food came, and was cold, despite us being one of the few tables with patrons in the establishment. \n\nTo top it all off... I ordered a Shake. I did not receive it with my meal. I complained twice, and it took me going to the counter to correct the issue. Even then it took 10 minutes to get the damned thing. UGH. And even then, the bored GM who was taking money, gave me attitude. He didn't give a damn. No apology. No nothing. I didn't want anything FREE, I just wanted my shake with a not so lazy attitude.",
"First of all, this is not one mile from I65 but more near I 465. a waitress grabbed menus and walked away, setting them down on the table and never telling us that was our table, just simply walked to the back and talked to her friends. another waitress walked up to say \"she sat you right there\" and walked away. We should of left at this point but i love the fries so we stayed. The manager sat and ate his food while the waitresses talked behind the counter. We had to wait for the conversation to stop (15 mins later) just to get a drink and then almost a half hr later to get our food. The portions are so small I had about 15 fries on my plate and almost walked out twice in the hour and half we were there. It was a horrible experience and we will never go back!",
"Ever see that bathroom in Trainspotting? Kind of like a Rob Zombie haunted house. Steak Shake is filled with real life ghoulish people who look as horrifying as the food smells. \n\n0 STARS.",
"Wherever you go there is a local burger chain that competes against the big 3\n\nThey offered a $4 meal and I had the Steakburger 'n Fries with American cheese and bacon on a toasted bun.\n\nIt is basically a child sized hamburger with a small fries that is typical of the value menu of the big 3\n\nIt was a tasty burger with shoestrings fries.\n\nThe hungry will choose a regular sized burger and fries portion with a shake.\n\nService was cheerful with a smile.\n\nRemember at this price point you cannot expect much but for $4 you do get value",
"I usually love Steak & Shake, been going there for 35 years, worked there in high school. Loved that job. Don't go to this location.\n\nThe staff is consistently rude to the point its comical, you wonder if its part of a shtick or something. The server have no interest in being there and the customers are clearly inconveniencing them.\n\nEven with the lousy service I still tolerate this location, then yesterday I was leaving while they were taking out trash and saw the most disgusting dumpster I have ever seen. Food was all over, trash was everywhere and not just contained to the gated area. Its hard to describe how bad it was, then I got closer and got the smell. That will ensure I'll never go back."

"Let me just start by saying this is a 3.5 star review, but because I live a few miles from Joanie's to go, my pizza was lukewarm when I got home. BUT, and that is a big but, it was really, really, really good - so I rounded up. \nThe sauce was very good - it had a nice spice to it that left a little kick. We got the deluxe, but traded out the green peppers for green olives. Good choice. It's hard to find a good think crust pizza, but Joanie's does it right. \nThe toppings seemed fresh, and there wasn't any provel cheese on this pizza, which is an extra star automatically. We also got an order of spinach and artichoke toasted ravioli's, and those were still piping HOT when we got home, which was a huge plus. The dipping sauce for the t-rav's was really good, tasted home made, like the pizza sauce. The salad was fresh but did have provel cheese on it. \nOverall I give this place a thumbs up and can't wait to check out the patio at the regular Joanie's, where I can make sure the pizza is hot and fresh!",
"The hubby and I order Joanie's an average of once a week, twice if we're lazy and don't want to cook. The person on the phone is always friendly and always reads your order back to you, which I appreciate. Typically we get a large pizza and a salad...and it's always been good. The buffalo chicken pizza is the hubby's favorite, while mine is the house deluxe. Growing up on the east coast, I consider myself a pizza snob, but Joanie's is my favorite \"St. Louis style\" pizza.\n\nThe salads are sizable and taste very fresh, not like lettuce that has been wilting in the fridge for days. My favorite dressing is the house, which is like a vinaigrette of some-sort. And their croutons, I'm guessing homemade, are delicious!\n\nOn average, the time from phone order to actually pizza on the doorstep is about 45mins to an hour, so plan your schedule accordingly. But, definitely order from here!",
"Joanie's to the rescue!!!\n\nThat's how I felt about this local pizzeria on Wednesday night. I had just had a really stupid experience with Papa John's and was wondering, \"How the heck am I going to get a pizza delivered to Foam?\" It really shouldn't have been so hard, but it was.\n\nThen one of my friends suggested I try Joanie's. I know about Joanie's To Go, but had no idea that in addition to picking up your pizza from them, they also deliver. Woot! I *should* have known this, since Joanie's has a van. But I never thought to ask them about delivery. \n\nThe gal who took my order was a little unsure of where they delivered (Foam is less than 2 miles away from Joanie's but she had never heard of Foam). And even though she thought it might be slightly out of delivery range, she said she'd hook it up regardless. \n\nLess than 45 minutes later, there was my delivery guy. He had never heard of Foam, either, and looked relieved that he found the place (which it's kind of hard NOT to see... it's on the corner of Jefferson and Cherokee with a giant sign, but whatev). The pizza was hot and exactly how I ordered it.\n\nHonestly, I'm not going to try and order Papa John's ever again! As long as Joanie's is close by, it's a safe bet!",
"Being from Texas I was a bit confused about this whole St Louis Style pizza, but Joanie's has not only taught me what it is but also made me appreciate it. I've had Joanie's take out twice (first time thanks to Liz L.) and both have been quick, delicious, and fresh tasting. This last time we had some meaty pie (thanks to Josh S's ordering skills) with bacon, pepperoni, and sausage... maybe. Well, it was perfect. and with a side of cheesy garlic bread, I was a happy girl drunk on cheese and carbs. I'll see you again soon Joanie's To Go :)",
"This is the first time I've tried Joanie's To Go, but I've had Joanies pizza several times before and knew what I was getting myself into. What better food to have after drinking wine all afternoon, than a pizza loaded with various meats. It was a thin crust pizza loaded with peperoni, bacon (Mmmm, bacon), and sausage. If I remember right, and I may not because I had been drinking wine all afternoon, the sauce was just a bit sweet. \n\nOrdering was quick and painless and about 20 minutes later we were on our merry way to go home and indulge in this goodness. The cheesy garlic bread was nothing too special, but it was plenty cheesy and fit the bill. \n\nWe wanted something good, something fast, and something we could take home with us. Check, check and check. Joanie's To Go was just what we were looking for.",
"When I moved to Benton Park and found out that Joanie's delivered to me, I may have cried. It's so glorious to be able to order food to be delivered from somewhere that isn't Joe's Chain Pizza Express.\n\nI particularly like the fact that I can get something that isn't pizza. Uncle Pete's Meatball Sandwich is DELICIOUS, and if I ever had the opportunity to meet Uncle Pete, I would bake him a cake. Shaped like a meatball. And it would be made of meat. So really I would bake him a meatball disguised as a meatball shaped cake. \n\nJoanie's has my FAVORITE VEGETARIAN PIZZA IN ALL OF THE LOU. I had to use caps because this is a super important statement when you take into consideration all the pizza joints we have here. It has fresh spinach, yellow squash, mushrooms, onions and roasted garlic. I want to eat one right now. \n\nThey also deliver cheesecake straight to my door and truthfully, sometimes I order from them just because I want some cheesecake in my mouth. Is that so wrong.\n\nThe one and only sigh factor about Joanie's is their sauce. It makes me sigh. It's blah. I'm not even picky or weird about pizza sauce, I just want some distinct flavor, whatever it may be, and Joanie's just doesn't do it for me. Can we get a bay leaf or something? Some pizazz? However, everything else is so rad that I'm willing to deal with this.\n\nOrdering is always hassle free and I never weight long for delivery. I don't know how far out their radius is, but if you can get Joanie's to deliver to you, take advantage! They are super boss.",
"Joanie's to Go is your best option for delivery in the Soulard area. They have decent homemade pizza (thick and thin) and are best known for their Margherita pizza. They carry all of the casual St. Louis Italian standards like toasted ravs (not my thing, but hey), a variety of salads, appetizers, sandwiches, etc. I'm not a vegetarian, but after sampling their veggie lasagna at a catered event, I'm hooked. Spinach and red sauce don't sound like a good combo to me, but this dish is awesome!. The roast beef sandwich is really good, as well.",
"I don't have anything bad to say about this place. The food is good and the people are so great! \"Joanie\" is my new neighbor and so I plan to become a regular. It's nice to have something so close that actually tastes good. And the best part is that I got a 10% discount since I checked in through Yelp! Score.",
"LOVE LOVE LOVE. def already regulars for the new digs. we lazy ppl who dont feel like cooking nor moving at all for that matter after work, LOVE LOVE LOVE joanies. delivery always has awesome timing, not that delivery time that makes you wonder where your food is and should you call in. the chicken wings and the roast beef sandwich with his beloved au jus are the current favorites. i'm ashamed to think when we lived on washington, maurizios was our regular call out, joanies is sh!tting on maurizios....muah muah muah",
"This pertains to the new store that replaced Louie's on Telegraph.\n\nNot off to a good start.\nWe were excited to hear they were coming since friends and family told us how much they liked them.\n\nWe love thin crust and have always enjoyed Imo's and Louie's version. I hope it was a bad pizza day for the kitchen because our first purchase from Joanie's was less than good. \n\nThe crust was thin, but quite hard, like a cracker.\nThere was little to no sauce on the pizza.\nThe extras on my deluxe were bland, as if frozen for days.\nGarlic cheese bread was just OK.\n\nWe'll try them again in a month or so just to be fair. Maybe it was opening week jitters, but that's when you should really try harder. For now it looks like we're back to Imo's, even though their quality has dropped while their prices have risen.\n\nLet's go Joanie! We're rooting for ya."

"This chain of steakhouses offers hand-cut steaks. I was here for a friend's birthday (around Mother's Day) and told our server as much. Our server told us that the birthday boy/girl must sit in a saddle (they roll it out on wheels) before they then declare it's your birthday and start hollering. Needless to say, my friend was petrified and we got our server to sit on the saddle instead.\n\nService was quick and friendly - our waiter was a very happy guy who was an actor. He also gave us a few free items, randomly, which was appreciated. During the random line dancing performed by the staff, our server was in the forefront, hopping away. Classic.\n\nFor appetizers, we ordered bacon cheese fries which were hearty and a little salty (come on, they're covered in BACON!). We also had their version of the \"blooming onion\" was unimpressive - dry, with an egg-like sauce that was disappointingly listless.\n\nWhen our waiter introduced the place, he said it was the \"best steakhouse in the land\". I shared a filet and I must say that the meat was surprisingly tender (the potato wasn't bad either). While I wouldn't say it's the BEST, it can holds itself against other steakhouse chains.\n\nI was recommended their famous margaritas. Since I needed to be elsewhere (sober) eventually, I opted out. (My friend ordered a glass but she barely touched it, saying it was too strong. Last time it was better, she said.) Their bar staff present at the time pretty much only could only make items on their menu - I asked for some shots (uncommon and common) and they didn't know how to make any of them. As a last resort, I went with a kamikaze. When it came out, it tasted nasty and worse yet, had ICE in it.\n\nRecommended if you're never been and are in the area, but don't go out of your way to try this place (since they're everywhere). Tender, tasty meat but avoid alcohol (unless it's on the menu).",
"It's a lot of food and a few dollar less than Outback. It's kinda loud and the speed of getting your food is inconsistent, but I've always left satisfied!",
"The food is pretty good here. Sure to make you put on a few pounds though. I liked the peanuts before the meal and the fact that you can litter the shells on the floor for some poor bus boy to clean up later. The bread and butter you get before the meal too is awesome. However, they do a lot of really queer and annoying things at the texas roadhouse like dancing around to cotton eyed joe at a certain time during the day. wow is that annoying when you are trying to enjoy a steak with your shot of jack , trying to picture yourself at some saloon in the west.",
"While I am rarely a fan of chain restaurants, I have to admit that I enjoy visiting the Roadhouse. I've been here a couple of times and have always had a good meal. \n\nThe rolls with the cinnamon butter are really good. Be careful not to eat a ton and fill up before the appetizer comes out. I have done this.\n\nThe steaks are are extremely good. For larger cuts of steak, you can pick out which steak you want from a selection. I always get the prime rib, medium rare. It's delicious and has been cooked perfectly every time I ordered it. The price is also pretty reasonable.\n\nBeware: do NOT admit if it is your birthday. The waiters will bring out a saddle on wheels and attempt to take your picture on it! Also, they do a fairly goofy line dance thing randomly. It can be somewhat difficult to ignore, depending on your proximity to said nonsense. \n\nIf you happen to be in the area and are looking for a good steak, I would recommend trying the Roadhouse.",
"Great service + hand cut steaks = better than Outback, Lone Star & Long Horn combined. Reasonably priced and delicious. A real steak cooked perfectly and the veg is great too. Try the 16 oz. ribeye and sweet potato with butter and brown sugar-- yum. Skip the marshmallow and caramel; they're too much. Rolls and cinnamon butter are great too; eat them while they're hot. All in all a great place to grab a steak or ribs.",
"Lunch time, and I knew this place would serve good ribs and a cold beer while I watched college football during lunch.\n\nTexas Roadhouse did just that.\n\nYou have a bucket of peanuts to eat with your beer.",
"Good steaks, ribs, bread, salad, and service at a reasonable price. Like the nuts too.",
"This place is one of my favorite places to go for an I'm-not-counting calories sort of meal. I can not get enough of the cinnamon butter and rolls that they give you once you are seated at your table, seriously, I am an addict.\n\nThe Dallas Filet is my weapon of choice. When cooked to perfection it is juicy and devilishly decadent. Usually served with two sides I always get a salad (always fresh, never over dressed) and the green beans (can sometimes be a bit oleaginous...but I can not resist).\n\nThe bar menu is consistent with what one would normally find at a chain establishment: mucho margaritas, 22 oz beers, and fruity concoctions served in hurricane style glasses. Sometimes the drinks are a bit to sweet but they always tend to pack a punch.\n\nI generally am not a huge fan of chain restaurants but I can not help my affinity towards Texas Roadhouse!",
"This is the Texas version of Chilli's and they do it well. From a full bar with TVs, to Texas BBQ and steaks and a lively atmosphere, they pull it off fairly well. Food is good for a middle of the price range steak place and you can pick out your own piece of meat from the display case. The ribs, sandwiches and salads are pretty good. The loaded baked potato is above average with all the topings and a salty crust that can't be good for you but tasty. \n\nNot Ruth's Chris quality and taste but it is at half the price. It is a fairly new place so the interior is decent with wooden everything in that Texas style. The bucket of peanuts is nice if you are starved when you get there. A fun atmosphere when you do not want a quiet time in a dead place.",
"I love this Texas Roadhouse! Great food, great drinks and never had a problem here. Reasonably priced and enjoy it every time we go! It's the only place I can get a really small steak that still tastes great. If you want a quiet night out this is not the place for you."

"Crazy good, sweet bread. Everything else is average, but who cares?",
"Oh my goodness, is this place wonderful! Rush out and eat here! My family and I have been eating here for years, and we have never been anything other than fully satisfied. We always get a 1/2 gallon tub of spaghetti and two 16\" subs, sometimes we even venture far enough to get the mostaccioli or the ravioli. Everything is delicious. \n\nThe other reviewers are correct, the sweet bread they use just has this way of accentuating the flavors of the cheese and the meats so that all the flavors meld perfectly in your mouth. Personally, I always cut 3\" sections of the sub and stick them in the microwave for about fifteen seconds to really get the cheese to melt. This is like nothing you will ever taste! \n\nAll the food is terrific, all of it is cheap, the place is locally owned and the staff is delightfully friendly. What more could you want?",
"Take-out price is amazing. I got a gallon of mostaccoli for $17 or so a few weeks ago, and we used that for family meals when I was in the hospital having a baby. There was still a bit left when I got home. Taste was good, price was great, and we'll be back.",
"Garlic Cheese on P'sghetti's bread...oh my lord I've found heaven!!!!\n\nThis place is ideal if you are looking for feed an army on the cheap. They have everything from sandwiches to pasta and seriously, the bread! Oh my oh my oh my. I just...well...words can't describe.",
"secret tip- ask for mostaciolli with extra provel\n\nit's freaking incredible!!!\n\nthen, make sure you get the cinnamon bread for 'to go'\n\nMmmmm....\n\nHigh Five!",
"You can order a bucket of spaghetti here, with some meatballs, a salad, some bread for very cheap. Although I'm not a fan of this Fazoli-esque local eatery, I'll admit that it can accommodate a large group of people in a very short amount of time.\n\nI thought the pasta was a little overcooked, but alright if you consider this place more of a fast-food restaurant. The sauce was a little bland, which kind of stinks, but so-so (kind of sweet, to me). I've actually had worse. It's just going to take a bit for me to remember where.\n\nI would suggest this place to soccer moms... If I knew any personally. Pasta in large quantities can mean instant energy for kids after a gruesome championship little league soccer game, right?\n\nOne of my friends pointed out that they also have sandwiches, which are apparently the only reason to go to this place. If I'm rolling around Lindbergh ever again, I just might try one of them out.",
"If you like everything you order to taste like dessert, go here. Seriously, the sauce is sweet, the bread is sweet, the salad is sweet. Ick.",
"Aunt Gertrude and four of her friends show up hungry, unannounced? What's a gracious hostess to do? You get in your car and drive to P'sghetti's. You can order spaghetti by the GALLON here. So naturally the pre-measured portion sizes, along with its strip-mall location with free parking, make it tres popular among the soccer mom set.\n\nBut P'sghetti's is good, I swear. The pastas are okay, but you have to try a sandwich on their freshly baked Hawaiian-style bread... you know the bread, slightly sweet and more yellow than white? \n\nCheap, fast and tasty. Oh, and don't leave without a loaf of the cinnamon bread.",
"I do have to start this off by saying that this place is nothing like a fazoli's. Sorry, that establishment has nothing on this place. I have to say that i do adore their bread, it may be sweet to some, but i find that it adds something to every sammich that they make. But, that's my opinion, of course. I really do like their pasta, but i come there for the sammiches. I also like that they have a meal deal and it's ALOT of food there, for a good deal.",
"I always get the super sub, its really good. The bread there is tasty sweet bread. I think I've only met 1 person who doesn't like it. The garlic bread is my all time favorite. everything else is good as well. those are just my Fav;s there. also its not a bad price if you want to buy for a big party, they have party packs. yum yum"

"Food was delicious! Burgers were so creative and cooked to perfection. We had the milkshake that had\nA little bit of everything delicious in it. Would highly recommend this place!",
"Great burger spot! Awesome staff and good prices. Great lunch spot for those who want to try a new place.",
"Outstanding food and service. They grind all of the burgers in house and they have filet in the burger grind!",
"Delicious burgers -ground in house ...amazing thick cut bacon..try the truffle tots and hand cut fries - this place is not messing around. More than reasonable prices for the quality of food -pretty bar -fantastic bar selection -and friendly owner...go check it out!",
"Incredible food, drinks and atmosphere. We started off with happy hour nachos that are loaded with fresh jalapeños, salsa and creamy chipotle sauce. Along with crispy Brussels sprouts unlike any I have ever had. For dinner We ordered a massive juicy burger with bbq sauce and crispy onions that was out if this world. And of course to finish the meal tried the banana foster milkshake, perfection! This place is a much try!",
"Food was absolutely delicious! We got the Fried Pimento Cheese, Confit Chicken Skins, \"Badger, Badger, Mushroom, Mushroom\" burger (love the reference!), and the \"Zorba The Greek\" burger. We recommend all of them! Server and chef were able to accommodate our dietary choices! Prices are great too!\n\nWill definitely be returning!",
"WOW a GREAT addition to down town Wilmington. I own a coffee shop on Market Street (Coffee Mode) and went in to check out the new place in town. Met the owner and he is passionate about his craft and very good at what he does. Had a burger that blew me away with perfect fries! Super clean place and very inviting. Excited to go back and try other menu items. A must try!!!",
"Delish! The salmon burger and sweet tators were yum. Exceptional service. I was in and out during lunch within 30 min..that's a plus! Nice option on Market St.",
"I don't want to write this review bc I'll only be making it impossible for me to get a seat here. But this is the best burger I've ever eaten. EVER! I had the FTC - the thick delicious bacon was amazing. The beef tender and so flavorful. I LOVE that this place is in my neighborhood!!",
"I may be a little obsessed with a good cheeseburger. Okay, more than a little obsessed. So when I heard that downtown Wilmington was getting a gourmet burger and bourbon place, I was stoked! \n\nOn our first visit, I instantly loved the atmosphere --- great for a casual date or happy hour with friends. Our waiter gave us a quick, humorous introduction to their menu and took our drink orders. When he realized it was still happy hour, he was nice enough to bring us the list of specials and change our order. I tried the High Tea off of the happy hour menu, which was a delicious and good-sized drink. \n\nFor our appetizer, we tried the brussels, which were loaded up with a spicy gochujang sauce on a very large plate (we wound up taking some home!). \n\nFor my burger, I decided to start with their basic FTC... a cheeseburger with American cheese, onions, and thickly cut, perfectly crisp bacon. I enjoyed the burger, though if I were to get it again would consider adding something like a pickle... it might benefit from some acidity/sharper flavors. BF, however, had the Rodeo King (bacon, cheddar, onion strings, Chipotle BBQ) which was delicious. \n\nFor a side, you can get fries, salad, or upgrade to regular or sweet tots. I had the regular tots, which are seasoned with Old Bay, and BF got sweet tots, covered in honey and cinnamon sugar. Both were excellent. \n\nWe split a Sticky Pig milkshake for dessert, which was good, but mostly tasted like bacon and was not quite as sweet and peanut-buttery as I was hoping. Next time, I'll stick to some of the more standard sweet options to fill my dessert cravings. \n\nCan't wait to go back and try more of the menu!!"

"This is a local coffee chain, this location is pretty cool (Campbell at Grant). They put something good in the \"xtreme\" drinks that makes them unique and much better than the standard coffee blender drink. Wireless service is provided at this location but I haven't tried it yet.",
"I drove by here after bar closing time on a Saturday and it was packed-I have no idea if they are open 24 hours, or what, but I was stunned to see so many people in a coffee shop that late at night when school isn't in session on a weekend night!\n\nSo after brunch, I stopped by here for some coffee and had no problem parking. Inside was pretty big but really corporate looking. Their pastries all looked unhealthy. I mean, coffee shop fare (muffins, bagels,cookies, cakes) aren't known for being recommended for heart attack victims-but holy shit this stuff looked 4 times the fried! The decaf with soy was fine and the woman at the register was nice. It was pretty empty (it was like early afternoon on a xmas eve)-but what weirded me out was a strange touch-a tv. Near the counter was a huge tv blaring infomercials while some truck driver/bums guys laid on the second hand looking couches watching it. There were some shelves with books and magazines near the sofa, but the thought of sitting on those couches seemed very Twilight Zone and just gave me the heeby jeebys or some shit. Weeeiiiird! Maybe I just need to check it out again late at night to understand the magic, but during the day I might just get my coffee somewhere else...",
"The drinks aren't that great. However the amount of late night study sessions that occur here are insane. It's pretty much always busy, especially around finals time. They're very cool about squatters, but at least get a cup of coffee.",
"The coffee is decent, the food is alright, the staff varies. \n\nIt's great for long study sessions and groups. As long as you get some coffee every once in a while they don't care how long you sit there.\n\nThey put white chocolate in their whipped cream to make it that much better. \n\nI think I spent a good part of 2 years at UA studying here.",
"I went over here when Raging Sage was closed. Rude counter service (no greeting, annoyed look, harsh register ring, the \"I wish you would die\" look from everyone in the place, etc). Coffee tasted like watery soup.\n\nDeserts are rock hard old.\n\nPlace is never wiped clean, outside is dirty as heck. \n\nNot sure why the packs of U of A students hang around this dump, probably because its open all nite and they think it's hip & most of them are conformist robots. Everyone is on a computer (annoying), I was the only one reading so I get the evil eye from the tech conformist zombie robots.\n\nThe ambiance is dim, so it doesn't make a good place to read or study. It reminds me of a cafeteria set up at IBM in 1972. Real botched job.\n\nOh, I saw someone get tossed out because he was squatting in the place.\n\nI won't go here again unless I become a dumb zombie like those who go there. So, I won't go here again.",
"I'm a fan of Coffee Xchange because the coffee is pretty good and the wifi is free. It's a great place for students to congregate and study, or to meet a friend at 4 in the morning. The fact that it is open 24 hours is what I love most - however it has its downsides.\n\nParking can be an absolute nightmare, and the staff are about as friendly as a rattlesnake. I've never figured out why the people aren't less rude in a joint mostly filled with university students (perhaps that's the reason?), but don't expect much hospitality. Also, from time to time the wifi doesn't work at all. That being said, I still enjoy Coffee Xchange. Try a blended Vanilla Extreme for something cold and sweet.",
"Worst coffee I've paid money for. Horribly crowded, rude employees, day old pastry, dirty inside and out. Strange loitering outside. Not my cup of tea or coffee.",
"I particularly like the atmosphere at this coffee house. Despite being located on a busy thoroughfare it manages to exude a calm and relaxing charm inside. The outside seating area is nice but the traffic definitely intrudes. \n\nThe service was very friendly, the chai was very good and the pastry was very nice...an almond bear claw filled with lots of almond paste. Good stuff. \n\nI would absolutely keep this spot in mind if you need a place to relax, recaffeinate and check your Yelp.\nThey also have a drive-thru if you're not inclined to stay.",
"Wow this place has gotten some harsh reviews! While Coffee Xchange is far from the best coffee house I've been to, it certainly is A-OK for every day use! I've probably been to over a hundred coffee houses in 35-40 odd states and Coffee Xchange falls around average. \n\nSheesh people lighen up!",
"I've gone to Coffee Xchange quite a few times now, and while the coffee is alright (kinda hit or miss), and the food is so-so, what bothers me the most is their customer service. The people behind the counter are cold and sometimes plain rude. I like to support local restaurants and companies, but the people at the Coffee Xchange at Grant and Campbell make me want drive a couple miles out of my way to visit the nearest Starbucks instead. Their employees need a major attitude adjustment."

"Excellent Thai, Excellent Price, Bad Service.\n\nThe food: A great restaurant period, and a wonderful find for Thai lovers. I've had several dishes, including a stew, some bell-pepper/onion/chicken combinations, and pad-thai. Each was delicious. Most courses come with spicyness options of either mild, medium, hot, or \"native thai.\" I go with medium and its plenty hot for me. Delicious. The deserts are good, and the drinks are cheap!\n\nThe atmosphere: The restaurant is easy to miss. Once you find it, inside is nothing special. Painted scenic walls give some atmosphere to the otherwise small but open dining room. Bring good friends, however, because the service can be quite slow.",
"If the service had not been so absolutely horrendous, I might have given it three stars. Maybe. First off, I will admit that I have minimal patience for stupid people. The waiter really tried my patience, and he wasn't particularly polite either. The fare itself was standard and americanized. Nothing to write home about, although it wasn't terrible. Edible. I will not be returning. End of.",
"I've enjoyed eating at Royal Thai. It's my favorite place to get Thai food in the area. They also do a great job at take-out, even letting you get Thai Iced Tea to go (which most places don't seem to do). \n\nIt's not exactly glamorous, especially outside, but it's quite tasty. While you're waiting for your meal (not too long of a wait) you can look at the hand-painted murals on the inside walls.\n\nThe curries are all spectacular, and like most places they will allow you to tell them how spicy to make it. Many of the rice dishes are great, too. Check out the specials on the menu, they have some interesting combos with rice. The waiters are really great at explaining anything that's confusing. So many great dishes, I don't think I've ever had anything bad there, and I've probably been a dozen times. \n\nUnfortunately, they raised their prices a few months ago, which makes it a little more of a commitment to the meal. About $10 per entree.",
"I haven't had satisfactory Thai in Nashville since Sala Thai closed, and Royal Thai has been the least impressive. The pad thai was gummy and flavorless, except for an unpleasant aftertaste. On the plus side, I didn't have any of the service issues other folks have talked about here - but admittedly I was the only customer.",
"I always try to find the good in every experience, so this pains me to write about my first and last visit to Royal Thai... \nWe made reservations for a party of 8 on a Friday night at 7pm. The restaurant was busy, but definitely not slammed. Our entire experience took over 2 hrs! There was only 1 server for the entire place! We waited, and waited, and waited before our drink orders where even taken. Then we waited some more to actually get the drinks. Finally we placed our food orders, and couldn't wait to eat our yummy meals. We had heard mixed reviews about Royal Thai, but we know they were voted \"Best Thai\" by the Nashville Scene. The service may have been slow, but we were fully expecting the food to make up for it. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! 5 out of our 8 (including me) ordered the Pad Thai and we were all agreed that it was the WORST Pad Thai ever. It basically was a heaping pile of brown mush...not to mention I had ordered mine medium-hot and there wasn't even an ounce of spice in it! The price was way too high as well. Not to mention that we had to ask our server 3 TIMES FOR OUR CHECK! I will never eat here again.",
"Friends and I all live right in the neighborhood, and Royal Thai is our go-to for quick and great Thai food. The curry dishes are hands-down the best part of their menu, and we can't go without one (or all!) of us getting one of them. Green curry is my favorite, but I've enjoyed them all. They're great about catering to vegetarians. Prices are pretty reasonable. Check out the lunch special for the best deals-- served until 3pm. Great for eat-in or take-out.\n\nWe've never had a disappointing experience at Royal Thai, despite what some others have said here about their own. It's always been dependable, and we prefer it to the others in the neighborhood.",
"Pretty good tasting Thai food place. Portion on pad thai kind of small, but not offensively so. Skip the \"vegetarian appetizer\"...it's just a bunch of fried vegetables tempura style..including whole mushrooms...like the kind you use in salads. what? weird. not too memorable, but service was OK and I suspect that there aren't tons of good Thai places in Nashville...",
"It's probably a good thing that I don't live a mile away from Royal Thai anymore because I used to do carryout a tad too much...let me tell you why.\n\nRoyal Thai: \"Hello, Royal Thai!\"\n\nMarcia: Hello. \"I would like to place an order for carryout, please.\"\n\nRoyal Thai: \"What would you like to order?\"\n\nMarcia: \"May I have the #805...\"\n\nRoyal Thai interjects: \"...with extra spicy Tofu, right? Be ready in 20 minutes!\"\n\nMarcia: \"Damn.\"\n\nI can't vouch for anything else but I know that the #805 - Pad Kee Mao ($10) is excellent! This spicy dish consists of stir fried spicy noodles with garlic and basil and your choice of meat. I always choose the tofu and have never been disappointed!\n\nTip: I dined in once and the service was very slow so I would suggest this as a buy and fly place. Perfect for a night in to watch movies!",
"Not only was this was the absolute worst Thai food I've ever had, it's right up there with the worst food I've ever had. Disgusting, inedible slop. I've had plenty of mediocre Thai food and I can put up with it when I need to, but this place REALLY crossed the line. We had lad na (small, unfried noodles floating with broccoli and cauliflower in plate of soup); panang curry (very bland); pad thai (not bad as in that super-American pad thai... just downright horrendous; slimy; foul flavor). See the photos -- everything was actually even worse than it looked. I noticed the fresh spring rolls were served with sweet chili sauce. That should've served as a warning, I guess.",
"Same as most other reviews: uninspired interior, glacial service in a 1/4 full restaurant, food hit-or-miss. I had a seafood-baked-in-foil - and that was really good. Curries got mixed reviews. Pad Thai - well, I was offered a taste, but couldn't bring myself to try what looked like brown, overcooked glop. Only beer, so buy wine around the corner and down the street at Midtown. Probably ok for lunch if you learn the menu. Otherwise, steer clear."

"Calle Mexico started off as a food truck (which still exists in the warmer seasons) but they've now opened up a restaurant. Their specialization is authentic Mexican food. As soon as I stepped in, I knew it was going to be authentic. I could smell the food being cooked from the kitchen. The worker (I assume owner?) communicated with a few customers in their own language, which is always a good sign. The restaurant is catered more towards take out, which explains the small size of it. There are a few small tables and seats lining the walls for eating there though. The menu offers different types of tacos, tortas, and 3 other main dishes: \"the famous Calle Mexico\" tostadas, enchiladas, and sopes. There's also a daily special soup and student combo special, soon to be available. For drinks, the classic Jarritos is offered, which I find is a necessity in all Mexican restaurants! It just pairs so perfectly with tacos. \n\nI ordered the Al Pastor (pork) tacos. The orders of tacos all come with 3, aside from the dorados (crispy tacos) which come with 4. The slow cooked pork was accompanied by diced pineapple, cilantro, and onions. Dried chillies were added to it to give it a bit of seasoning. The tacos were flavourful and tasted fresh. Salsa and guacamole bottles were on the side, which I ate with my tacos. The only thing I'd have to mention is that the pork was on the drier side. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of the tacos though. \n\nMy friend ordered the Tinga (chicken) tacos. The shredded chicken breast was marinated in a chipotle sauce. It came with a variety of veggies: shredded lettuce, tomato pieces, and radish, then topped with sour cream. He really enjoyed his tacos and said that he'd come back. \n\nWe also shared a Sope between us, which is a traditional Mexican dish. It's a thick tortilla topped with different fillings. At Calle, the toppings are tinga chicken (the same as from the tacos), feta cheese, slices of radishes, an avocado piece, and sour cream. The tortilla was handmade and still very warm when it came out to us. It was soft and had a slight crisp to it, which held up the toppings well. The sope was a nice mix of different textures that I got with each bite. \n\nThis is a good place to stop by if you're in the mood for some traditional Mexican fare. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is freshly made to order. I'll be back to try out some other Mexican dishes for sure.",
"Best authentic Mexican food!!!\nI tried 4 different kind of food, everything taste \nSoooo good!!!\nGo try it out!!!",
"SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR.\n\nI heard Calle Mexico opened up a store front recently so the hubs and I had to stop by this past week after Yelp Fit Club.\n\nIf you like REAL Mexican food you need to go here now.\n\nWell, as long as NOW isn't Tuesday because that's the only day of the week they close in order to shop/stock/prep their kitchen.\n\nWe had the opportunity to chat with the owner and a super nice lady (wife I presume?) who were both friendly and easy to talk with.\n\nThe small little storefront probably only has room for 6-8 people to sit and eat at most but man was it ever good.\n\nI loved their home made salsa verde, mild salsa (guac), and spicy salsa (freaking good!).\n\nWe had the beef tacos, tostados (best I've had since California), the item of the day which was a Mexican stew of sort with avocado on top and chips on the side.\n\nSo good, so fresh, so heavenly.\n\nEverything is made in house aside from the Tostada shells which is understandable.\n\nOh. Em. Gee. So good I want to go back RIGHT now but it's Tuesday (insert crying sad Kristin face).",
"Went to Calle Mexican today ,we ordered the Steak Tacos. Even after a 15 minute car ride home the food was fantastic. We will defiantly eat their again.\nGo there eat it's worth the money.",
"Authentic Mexican food is amazing. The owners are very nice people and their food is delicious. We had tacos, corn, and jarritos here. Very good and fair prices. I would love to try dessert next time.",
"Great big flavour from a tiny hole in the wall. That pretty much sums it up. On our first visit, we tried the fish taco, the beef taco Barbacoa and the mixed grill taco whose name I cannot recall. All were very, very good. The cod was crispy, the beef tender but the star was the combination of sausage and pork. \n\nSo I heartily recommend this tiny, family-run place. It's not fancy, but it is authentic.",
"To quote a fellow Yelper that I might or might not be married to... SHUT. THE. FRONT. DOOR!\n\nThis place is the real deal if you're looking for authentic Mexican food! By far, they are the best that I've had in Edmonton and surrounding area. If there is some place that is better, I have not found it in ten years. It is run by a family who came here from Acapulco, and if you've ever had the cuisine from their food truck, then you know what Calle Mexico is all about.\n\nWe started off with a Mexican stew called Pozole, which just happened to be the special that day. The flavours were perfectly balanced in a broth that had never crossed my palate before, with thin avocados slices gracing the surface.\n\nTheir tostadas were phenomenal, as were the barbacoa (beef) tacos. I love the touch of having their sauces tucked away in a tiny, little Coca-Cola cooler, located on the counter.\n\nGranted, the place is very small with maybe only a half dozen tables so the dining atmosphere might not be the most luxurious, but for me that's part of it's charm. It is decorated in the traditional Mexican colours and art pieces and takes me back to the small mom and pop shops that we visited in Bucerias, a small suburb of Puerto Vallarta. \n\nSomeday I might be brave enough to try the Lengua (Google it) but rest assured, I sure cannot wait to step through the doors of Calle Mexico again.",
"I just love the way they prepare food, feels like home. I Love tacos al pastor! The best!",
"Calle Mexico is run by lovely people. They need to lower their prices a good bit, though. They're too high.",
"Finally, a place where I can eat Mexican without the extra frivolous décor and wait staff. What you see is what you get. Great food with no frills. Friendly staff and owners. I have brought several people to this restaurant and they have all been pleased. \nI love this place and so should you."

"It's like a subway for pizza...personal size. This will fix your pizza cravings. Not the best pizza but not bad either. It's at least hot, fresh, and fast. Con: stingy on the toppings and tables and chairs needed to be cleaned more often-crumbs and greasy.",
"Wow, In a town that has mediocre Pizza at best. We now have a new place that will serve you overpriced and under cooked small pizzas. I do not like grocery store bought pizza but it would have been better tasting and cheaper than Pie Five. Not even sure why I gave two stars. Interior and staff were fine. I will be surprised if this place is open in a year.",
"So this place has a lot of potential, its just like Pieology in SoCal. Too bad all the kids that work here all stay behind the counter, unfortunately leaving the rest of the store messy and gross. They just opened...so...hopefully they will get their act together. NY Pizza is just a block away as is Brixx and Sams for that matter, lots of competition in the area.",
"I went on their first day open after their soft opening. The staff was enthusiastic and well trained. I like the simplicity of the menu. One size pizza, all the same price, plenty for a meal for one. I got the five meat pizza. The toppings were flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the cheese was tasty. A big problem -- the crust was undercooked. It was very crispy on the edges but almost like raw dough in the middle. \n\nETA: I came back and ordered the thin crust. It was quite good, crisp, and cooked through and through. And the toppings were still great. So I raised it to four stars.",
"This was a wonderful visit! The location has only been open for a week and already they have addressed the concerns that many people mentioned in prior reviews. The atmosphere was top-notch, great ambience, customer service was phenomenal, the dining area was clean, and so on. \n\nTo back these claims up, when I mentioned the sweet tea had ran out out, a cashier promptly changed it out. When I spilt some soda on the floor, it was cleaned up and a wet floor sign was placed over the spill. They bundled my meal without me even asking, so that saved me a couple of dollars. \n\nThe absolutely biggest accomplishment of this establishment is their divine gluten free pizza crust. It is by far much better than Jets, Pizza Hut, Painturos, and so on. I speak from experience because my wife has celiac, and God knows we have tried everywhere for excellent gluten free dough. \n\nFinally, just an fyi, but they do not skimp on the toppings here. I loaded my pizza up and could not have asked for more. One reason many here might have complained about an undercooked dough is probably because they overloaded with toppings. The moisture, along with the weight of the toppings, can effect the dough in this way. Also, asking for extra crispy produced a beautiful crust for my wife's pizza. \n\nTruly, Hendersonville does not have enough good food establishments. This one brings us a little bit closer to the bounty in Nashville.",
"I came to Pie Five for lunch. Think Chipotle, but pizza. You go up to the counter and choose your toppings and just a few minutes later, your pizza comes out of the oven.\n\nThere are lots of options if you have people with different pizza preferences, $6.99 for a pizza or $9.99 with a salad or dessert plus a drink, it's quick and convenient, and I liked the atmosphere. As I watched other people's pizza come out, I was worried the crust was looking a little extra brown but I was happy with the crust when mine came out. Overall, it's a good \"fast food\" pizza joint.\n\nThe staff is still learning how to get the pizzas out in the right order and know what toppings are on the pre-designed pizzas, but they've only been open a few weeks so that's not too surprising.",
"Well, i realize we had a snow storm, 2-17-15, so ill excuse that they ran out of register tape. Whoever hired these incompetent people, you should be fired, you didnt hire a very good manager at all. They burnt the customers pizza in front of and had to remake his. We wanted ice tea and when we asked for some, they said oh sorry we didnt make any. They had plenty of help to make ice tea. No one cleaning tables or wiping them off. They gave my husband and i both the wrong pizzas. They don't put enough on their pizzas, how or why would expect people to return. We also wanted a greek salad, and we got some stupid excuse no salads today, something broken. The owner or district manager better get their ass in here and fix it or you'll be closed soon.",
"Some where between 3 and 4 stars Pie Five hovers for me. This is a fun concept that is perfect for families. It is set up like a Subway, where you pick out your own crust and toppings and they throw it in the oven. Every pizza is personalized and individual. For being a newly opened restaurant the wait was fairly minimal. The selection of vegetarian and gluten free option were very appealing. Side salads come in a small bread bowl that is more flashy than functional or appetizing. All of the employee were super nice and went above and beyond. When it come down to it though the pizza wasn't amazing and there is a ton of competition with multiple new pizza places nearby. Fun to try one and great for kids, but not for a great slice of pie.",
"Fun place to make your own pizza. Great to come with the family that all wants different toppings. Price is fair and the staff today were all very friendly. Modern inside and much better than NY Pie. We will be back.",
"Stopped in to see what the 5 minute pizza concept is all about. The pick your own crust, aside, and unlimited toppings is nice. The pizza was fresh and flavorful. However I gave it 3 stars because the price was a bit too high and the restaurant was a little too cold. My pizza started turned cool after a few minutes."

"Brueggers is a bagel joint so keep in mind that the 5 stars is not for haute cuisine ...\n\nBut what Brueggers does it does VERY well. Terrific bagels with the right amount of chew. Wonderful cream cheese spreads - not weak and over-whipped like some places. Fabulous coffee. Nice sandwiches and salads as well. My daughter loves their special - a french toast bagel with sausage, egg and maple cream cheese. I've ordered their bagels for functions - they always get raves.\n\nThey also have great marketing and always friendly staff.",
"Great bagels and coffee, but they also have great sandwiches and salads. In the Main Line it is hard to find a place that is not completely overpriced and under whelming for lunch, but this is a sure bet. The staff works hard and makes an effort to be nice, which is always refreshing!",
"Cheap ingredients make for a greasy, underwhelming bagel sandwich.\n\nThe staff seemed nice. It's just your average suburban place that blends into the landscape. But I didn't come here for the staff, or even because it was \"convenient.\" I came hoping to get a delicious bagel sandwich and it just kind of sucked.",
"I can't believe I reviewed Kiwi Frozen Yogurt before I reviewed Brueggers. They're in the same strip of stores but I've been going to Bruegger's regularly now for a few months. \n\nThey make a decent bagel, in some unique flavors that I've never seen anywhere else. I'm partial to the rosemary olive oil bagels. \n\nThey have all sorts of sandwiches, but this is basically a morning stop for me. I stick to breakfast and (iced) coffee. \n\nThey keep the egg patty and bacon/sausage in a plastic warming tray behind the counter. You may get the perception that they've been sitting around as you watch the employee assemble the various components and heat them up, but the resulting breakfast sandwich comes out just fine. The smoked salmon sandwich is nice too.\n\nIt's a touch on the pricey side, but look where it is. It won't make or break you though.\n\nThey have a nice selection of beverages and shmears.\n\nThe staff are friendly and efficient. Many a morning have gotten off to a good start for me thanks to Brueggers.",
"Bagel sandwiches are really good. The coffee is just OK. The reason for 2 stars is the awful customer service, especially from an assistant manager named Katie. Just dreadful crabbiness and attitude. Hey Katie we all don't want to work in retail but try a smile now and then and pretend to like your job. I doubt we'll go back here again.",
"The coffee is definitely weak but the breakfast sandwiches are pretty good. I definitely appreciate that they use shaved deli ham rather than a single slice of a ham-like meat. The bagels are on the small side but fresh with a nice shell and soft interior. I was disappointed that they didn't have any asiago bagels though.",
"Really loving the $6.99-7.99 trio special right now. My tarragon chicken salad on a pretzel bagel was full of almonds, red onions, chicken, and craisins in a savory, creamy blend; the pretzel bagel itself tasted like a soft pretzel with a nice crispy shell. The clam chowder was decent but didn't really stand out from the versions at Au Bon Pain or Panera; it was very hot though so kudos for that. The combo also came with a medium drink, too, which was definitely an added plus since that alone will cost you over $2 at Panera's. Overall, service was fast and friendly and I had a very filling and good meal for about $8, which is almost unheard of these days. Will be back to try the smoked salmon cali roll sandwich, which has smoke salmon, avocado, and wasabi cream cheese; it sounds quite interesting. Anyhow, will update once I try that but definitely stop in and grab a trio if you want a fast, filling, and very inexpensive meal that isn't from your local BK or Wendy's or McDonald's.",
"Oh wow... Stopped here for lunch yesterday and can't wait to go back! I got the $6.99 Trio which comes with a deli bagel sandwich, cup of soup or salad, and a drink. I chose their featured sandwich, which was turkey, cheddar cheese, and green apple slices on a cranberry-apple bagel with cranberry mayo - it was simply delish, although I was thinking maybe a little arugula and/or red onion would have really put it over the top for me. Anyway, it is not on their regular menu but they should really consider adding it! I also had the Fire Roasted Tomato Soup which was equally delicious... It reminded me of soup I made at home a while back... Rich tomato flavor with little chunks of carrots, celery and onions... Mmmmm... My friend had the same sandwich as me and loved it as well, but she had the Butternut Squash Soup which she wasn't too impressed with due to it being a little stringy from the squash... The taste was good though... Overall, Bruegger's was a great experience for us!",
"Best bagels ever! BUT... The staff is the most rude, snotty, miserable and unfriendly women you will ever come in contact with. Even try to be sweet to them, nothing but pure bi$&@y attitude in return.\nDiscussed this with many local neighbors, all have had same experience throughout every visit to this Brueggers location.\nBagels are awesome though! If you can stand the people you have to deal with to get them.",
"As others have said, the food tastes good enough but the staff is completely rude a d miserable to deal with. I would not recommend that anyone go here. Our food was made improperly and served cold. Just go to Panera"

"The Night Kitchen Bakery has been a Chestnut Hill staple for the past twenty years. They use the most quality ingredients to bake up some of the most amazing cakes and pastries. And, rumor has it that they also cater as well.",
"They did our 3 tiered, multi flavored wedding cake and the results were picture-perfect and so yummy. They are pricey - but you get what you pay for.\n\nCustomer service was terrific from initial cake tasting and consultation, through color and design selection.\n\nPerry (the pastry chef) is a master!\n\nWe loved our wedding cake.",
"I found this place when I was on a mad search from a Groomscake and this place is delicious. The tasting was great, and we got to try a bunch of items. Our guess' still ask where we got the cake, and the boy is still complaining that the cake was gone before he got a piece. \n\nThey also did a 2 tiered bridal shower cake for a shower I was hosting, and then the wedding cake since the bride loved it so much. Her family recently stopped me at a FUNERAL to tell me again how great the cake was - now that's a sign of a good cake, that it gets you out of mourning! \n\nFor my birthday this year, the boy skipped the cake and went with the chocolate cupcakes with chocolate or vanilla buttercream frosting and OMG - we had 20 people at my house and the moment people picked up the cupcakes, the room went completely silent as people were munching (some mmmmmhmmmms could be heard).",
"Why is it so difficult to find a decent bakery in the Philly area? My expectations were not high for this place especially after trying their cookies- every single cookie tasted like shortbread... The cakes however are to die for!! I ordered a chocolate cake with rasberry jam for a bday and it was absolutely delicious! Perfectly moist cake with just the right amount of ganache frosting and rasberry jam. Truly delicious! 5+ stars for the cakes but I give it a four, since the cookies were disappointing. Highly highly recommend the cakes!",
"This review is for the recent batch of cupcakes I had from The Night Kitchen. I was really disappointed with them, or mostly the icing. I hope it was just a fluke, but the icing was terrible! It was like a little rosette of lard on top of a not-so-moist, crumbly cake. Waaaay too much butter and way too little whipping. I didn't even finish the whole cake because of the terribly cloying taste. Also, the cakes are tiny in comparison for their cost. \n\nNow when I go to TNK, I stick to their cookies.",
"The cupcakes here get me so excited, they make me blush. Literally. The woman behind the counter pointed it out to me. While sampling a variety of cupcakes to determine the city's best, we got rocky road cupcakes, flourless chocolate cupcakes, and their lemon cupcakes. Also tried a chocolate chip pumpkin cookie, or something equally as awesome. The cookie and flourless cupcake were amazing. I thought the Rocky road (the description of which made me blush) was pretty good; my one friend still dreams of them. The lemon? Meh. Anyway, go check it out, and bring me one of those pumpkin cookies if they still have them.",
"The Night Kitchen has amazing pastries and cakes. I'm not going to compare it to sex, but let's just say I need a cigarette right after having a slice of their chocolate-mocha cake.\n\nThe place itself is very unassuming, and looks like it could use a little upkeep. That's just to hide the true deliciousness of their deserts inside. My favorite is the chocolate chip shortbread, mostly because I ate it as a kid, and it brings back the memories.\n\nPrice wise, it is pretty expensive compared to PathMark or Bredenbecks, but the value of having cakes so delicious made with such high quality ingredients justifies the cost. When someone at a party bites into their chocolate-peanut butter cake and says \"Oh my god!\" really loudly, you know that it was worth every penny.",
"I haven't actually been there in a couple years. If they still have those sticky buns, they alone would make it a 4 or 5 star place. Oh my God those buns - buttery evil buns. Sometimes my dad would wait a day, slather them with MORE butter and fry 'em in a pan. I think I just heard my arteries clogging...\nOh - everything else there I've ever tried was fantastic. The lemon curd cake is BAD-ASS.",
"I live near Chestnut Hill, so just from the look of the Night Kitchen's cakes, I would have booked them for my wedding cake if I was getting married in the area. Just recently, I finally got to try an NK Cake. My friend ordered a lemon curd birthday cake. OMG! This was one of the best cakes I've ever, ever had. I can't even explain how freakin' good this was.\n\nThen, she had a bday party for her boyfriend and ordered another cake. I'm not that into chocolate cake, so the taste wasn't there for me, but the design was amazing. The party was a movie them. I'll attach a photo here if I can!\n\nThe reason I'm giving them 4 stars not 5 is because their prices are really high.",
"Got the infamous Lemon Curd for my mom's birthday ( her favorite).\nStill so damn good it's ridiculous. Even the non cake eaters tore it up. Pretty expensive, though - the reason for the 4 stars. I can only afford it once a year!"

"What happened to the size of the bagels? Check out the new econo-sized bagel on my blog\n\nThey are still tasty though... \n\nGreat place for a bagel. Lunch offerings are marginal.",
"We just spent four days in Indianapolis dealing with a family emergency, and this Panera Bread was fairly near where we stayed. We've always liked Panera Bread, since every single one we've ever visited has had good food & coffee, pleasant workers, lots of seating and free wireless. This particular Panera Bread, however, was the best we've EVER been to - and it was due in particular to the wonderful assistant manager (Eric) who was working on all four days we went there. He was a *super*-nice person, and so was another assistant manager who worked on one of the days. In addition, all of the other workers seemed exceptionally pleasant. Another nice thing about this particular Panera Bread is the seating arrangement, including three comfortable chairs by a fireplace.\n\n(Update on 7/11/12): We had lunch there yesterday and everything was as wonderful as our last visit - including another terrific manager, and a very sweet-natured elderly man who took our order. We both got a turkey artichoke panini (really tasty).",
"J just woke me up and the first thing he said to me was \"I have something for you.\" He stuffed some potato sausage souffle in my mouth from Panera (not what all you naughty yelpers thought). I didn't even have time to rub the crust from my eyes but my taste buds were going crazy. Honestly, I was a little too out of it to recall the textures and flavors, I just remember it being really good. I haven't been to Panera yet, we don't have those in Hawaii, but I can't wait to go. So far from what I have tasted, I'm giving this place at least a 4. I would give it a 5 but I don't want to get my hopes up. I'm going to update this after I get to actually eat there but the souffle is so good I had to write something! I also have to reconsider my relationship with J because he only brought one souffle home for himself...",
"I like Panera; however, this is ONE STORE TO AVOID! Similar to another reviewer, my grandfather was hospitalized at St. Vincent Hospital, and I wanted to get my brother something nice to eat as we visited. Well, the first thing that went wrong was that I ordered the Smokehouse Turkey panini but instead got the Smoked Turkey sandwich. I didn't find out until later when I got back to the hospital room, so maybe it was a honest mistake. Well, I had also bought a Asiago Roast Beef for later because i was staying the night. Well, it turned out that part of the roast beef had some unchewable tendon material. That is unexcusable! The assembler would have clearly seen this when making the sandwich. But, since there were more pressing issues at hand, I did not discuss this with anyone, so the story gets worse. My brother, in an effort to return the favor, goes back to this same Panera store later in the week. He got a container of Chicken Noodle soup that could only be described as nasty! The noodles were soggy and mushy, and the soup was so salty; it was like the soup had been made the day before and had sat out. Furthermore, the french bagette was stale! This second experience prompted me to write this review. I have eaten at Panera many times, so I know what the quality should be, but this store has no quality control! I do plan to eat at Panera in the future just not at this store, and I hope my review will help save someone from a terrible experience, especially when there are other things to worry about.",
"Great place, great food, great service. The tomato soup is to die for! The cookies... fuhghettabout it... they're great.",
"Stopped by for take-out after just arriving in town. Food was good. Ordered the turkey sandwich and a side Caesar. When I ordered the combo, the woman asked me if I wanted bread, chips or an apple with that. Wasn't sure I heard her correctly. Bread with my sandwich? Don't get me wrong...I love carbs. But even I knew that a sandwich (which I assumed came on bread, hence the name) and bread on the side was too much. Like at restaurants where you order a pasta dish and the options for sides include rice or potatoes. \n\nJust struck me as funny, I guess...",
"This is right next to where I work, so it's a natural choice on days I don't bring my lunch... I love their French onion soup. When it's lunch/dinner time, the lines can move pretty slowly, but generally things are efficient and quick.",
"I go to this Panera quite often and they consistently deliver quality food and service. The employees are some of the friendliest food workers I have ever encountered. The store is always clean and the prices are cheap. What more can you ask for???? \n\nA few of my favorites:\n\n*French onion soup\n*Cobb salad OR Caesar salad (get a few extra croutons, they are DEE-LISH)\n*Broccoli cheese soup in a bread bowl\n*Egg souffle (breakfast only)\n*Asiago bagel (BEST bagel, by far!)",
"Overpriced, bland, unhealthy options for lunch/dinner. Sorry but I KNOW most of their food comes to them frozen and they simply reheat. Not how I want to spend my hard earned money.\n\n\nI admit I do like their bagels and coffee on the way to work, but not enough to give them 3 stars.",
"When pulling up to this Panera today, I had to do a double take.....a Panera with a drive thru? Were my eyes deceiving me? Or had I just not been paying attention all these times I've visited other Paneras and they all have drive thrus? I asked the cashier and she said they were the only one in the area with one. I can only imagine what a cluster that is during the weekend or lunch hours. So I choose to not be lazy and walk on it. \n\nYou can't beat their My Panera rewards program, the fact they list the calorie content on the menu and free Wi Fi. Plus now when you log in, they give you tips on how to be considerate at Panera (don't hog a table or take up a four op when it's just you) I love that Panera is schooling people on how to be polite, that just gave them an extra star in my book."

"Ice House Deli has exceptional sandwiches, the best within a 15 minute radius from my house. (And there are TONS of pizza/sandwich shops around me.) Recently I had a friend from California visit who has never had a Philly cheese steak. Instead of making the trek down to Pat's or Geno's, we stayed locally. She THOROUGHLY enjoyed herself at Ice House. My father, who eats cheese steaks regularly and considers himself somewhat of a cheese steak connoisseur, always goes to Ice House when we gets a craving, even though there are sandwich shops closer to our house. I haven't eaten red meat for years, but their buffalo chicken cheese steaks are exceptionally tasty.\n\nThe buffalo wings are also great. They're big and juicy, not little puny things that are all bone and no meat. The spicy sauce is hot, but not overbearing. \n\nI've only dined in the seating area once. It was pleasant, but nothing exceptionally wonderful or disastrous, and exactly what could be expected coming to a place like this. \n\nWhere Ice House Deli is lacking is in the pizza department. The sauce and cheese aren't anything special, and the dough is kind of thin for a regular pizza. I wouldn't recommend going here to pick up a pie.\n\nHowever, if you are in the mood to pick-up some quick beer while you get your yummy hoagie or wings, this is definitely the place. There are about 50 different to-go beers to choose from, check out the selection: http://www.icehousedelivers.com/drinks.html",
"I have to agree almost completely with the first review. This place is great for cheesesteaks/Hoagies. The you get a big portion for your money. The Buffalo Chicken Cheese Steak is the best, really it's the best. The pizza is so so. They also have a good selection of sixpacks at decent prices which can be hard to come by in this state!",
"If anything, you get bang for your buck here. They give very healthy portions on all of their meals and you probably end up throwing away a little food at the end of the day because you are stuffed. It is very hard to finish an entire Chicken Tender and Fries meal without blowing out your gut. I also highly recommend their Turkey Club and Hot Roast Beef Sandwiches.\n\nPersonally, I am not exactly a fan of their pizzas. It's hard for me to put my finger on it, but I just don't like the taste of it. With that said, there is nothing wrong with the pizza and if you haven't tried it yet, you shouldn't. It just isn't for me.\n\nThe Ice House is a staple of Pottstown Take Out. They've been their for years for a reason... because its pretty darn good to eat!",
"Ordered a Stromboli, dynamite bites (jalapeno Popper's), a pizza, and wings...the only thing I'd order again was the Stromboli and even that was small with saturated crust. The pizza could've been frozen, wings anemic, and Popper's not as good as those from arbys. Service was fast upon arrival...they don't deliver 3 miles away....all in all...don't plan on going back unless I need a 6-pack of beer and a Stromboli.",
"Best pizza and sandwich shop in the area!!! A little pricey but it's definitely worth it. I recommend the pizza/strom special!",
"Can not have a beer since they only have it to go..the to go beer is such a tease..love the food though..hence 3 stars..\nFor Philly style steaksandwiches in the Pottstown, PA area, you can't beat the Ice House. (5 stars for steaks) Additionally, they have a pretty extensive Italian cuisine type menu. Unlike most Italian restaurants though, they have really decent hot wings.",
"I cannot fathom how this place could get more than 1 star - it's terrible! Ordered online (okay, I give half a star more for that cool feature)- plain pizza and a cheesesteak hoagie - for delivery. After an hour after ordering, the delivery guy shows up with the food and since my card was already charged (the bill was $25 bucks?? what the...Pricy!!)- he immediately left.\nA. the cheesestake was completely wrong - it had American cheese (I requested Provoloone) and had only raw onions on it! There was a miniscule amount of over-cooked dry beef on a half stale roll. Umm, doesnt the hoagie part of the order mean lettunce and tomato? Terrible cheesesteak - not even close to the real thing (and Pats and Genos are not the real thing folks)\nB. the pizza - yuk. No doubt it was a frozen pie. Seriously, in a saturated pizza shop area, how can you seriously think a frozen pie is acceptable? \nI did call the shop with the error in the sandwich and to their credit they offered to make another and deliver or give me credit (unapologetically however). Since I did not want to wait another hour for a bad steak, I took the credit. Just not sure why, as I surely wont be back any time soon! \nMaybe I need to try a stromboli like other reviewers say is good...but I cant imagine it will be tasty after the disaster pizza. Blech.\nSave youreself the disappointment and get your cheesesteak from Cutillos and pizza from Palmeros.",
"This place is great for delivery, its consistently good food not great but good and fast. Has online ordering but its hit or miss when its available, not sure why they take it offline so often. But where this place really shines is breakfast, yes a pizza place for breakfast, go there, try it and believe!",
"The food is good. The onion rings are better. Delivered the wrong pizza last time but they made the right one and delivered it. We don't usually have issues with Ice House but prefer to order online and that's not always available.",
"This is our number one favorite place for breakfast. We usually go here once a week for breakfast. Everything is perfect, but my favorite is their homemade jam that comes with breakfast. I get on their delicious pancakes sometimes too. The kids love to have the jam in the center of their fresh made donuts. The coffee is good and the cup kept full by the very attentive waitresses. I love the potato cake that can be ordered instead of home fries. I've tried everything on the breakfast menu and was delighted with everything. Their pizza, steak sandwiches and wings are amazing also. But breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I have tried many, many places for breakfast and this is my top place!"

"I'm sorry, I can't help but love these chain restaurants. I'm not sure if their menu qualifies as such, but I find their food comforting, so I call them \"comfort food.\" I like the salads, their seafood dishes, and their burgers. You REALLY have to kill the quality for me to hate it because I don't set the tier high when I visit chain restaurants. Just satisfy my cravings and give it to me in a reasonable time and I'm totally cool.\n\nThis place hasn't disappointed me so far, but it also isn't OMG excellent so I think 4 stars would suffice.",
"Worst Applebee's I've ever eaten at. ALL the food we ordered was cold and hard. My meal certainly had very little taste, I felt like I was eating a leather shoe! Our waitress also had no clue what she was doing. Any question we asked was replied with a \"ummm\" or \"I don't know\". She seemed half asleep. I will certainly never go back to this applebees...",
"Being somewhat skeptical of chain restaurants in general, particularly in a city where there are thousands of independently owned and managed restaurants and cafes, you'd be hard pressed to find me at a chain restaurant EVER, unless it's really something special.\n\nApplebees...is not. Don't bother. Seriously. Check out Good Dog, Misconduct Tavern, or Monk's instead.",
"OK, as many of you know I loathe chain restaurants, but I tried (I really did) to keep an open mind when a colleague of mine - who likes it here - wanted to have lunch here. (She also graciously paid for lunch - and she is a good friend.)\n\nAfter our server took our orders she quickly brought drinks and water. The Philly-tap water tasted just awful. So I drank my diet coke and kept quiet. (I am a big water drinker and had a bottle of brita-ized water with me.)\n\nWe passed on the 2 for 20 deal and both got salads. I had the Shrimp/Avocado salad and the salad, was really not good. Strangely enough the lettuce was just fine, but the shrimp were so oversalted/seasoned. Also the avocado had obviously been chunked much earlier in the day as it was brown and slightly dried out. Eew.\n\nAnd thank god I got the gloppy green avo-based dressing on the side. It was awful.\n\nThus, my faith in Applebee's has yet to be restored.\nNext time I'll go to Shiroi Hana across the street. What possesed me? Oh yeah - a colleague wanted to come here.",
"It's alright if you're not expecting much. I do love the half off appetizers, though. You can't go wrong with nachos for about 4 bucks.\nThe service is hit or miss. Sometimes you get really good service and sometimes it falls flat. \nAll in all, it's okay. Not the best but also not the worst. If you keep an open mind about it, it's not too bad. Be aware though; a lot of college kids tend to go here so be ready to see someone you know.",
"Maybe I came on a good day...\n\nI felt like the service was very friendly. The hostess was attentive and the manager even came around to every table to ensure that everything was fine.\n\n2 for $20 and an appetizer was the reason why we stepped in. I mean c'mon that's a great deal.\n\nBoyfriend got the Fiesta Lime Chicken. I got the 7oz sirloin cooked medium rare. My sirloin came out great and tender. The mashed potatoes were also fine. Boyfriend's food was okay but I preferred my sirloin.\n\nFor the appetizer, we settled with the boneless buffalo wings (mild)... It tasted good for a while, until I started eating more. I guess I'm not a fan of boneless buffalo wings. It's just not the same. Although it was mild, it was pretty spicy...\n\nAside from that, I didn't find Applebee's to be anything special. The decor was interesting, but not really eye-catching. Maybe the atmosphere just made me sleepy.. Aside from the dimmed light above us, there were two flat screened television sets that shown light.\n\nNow awful, but not amazing either. 2 for $20 deal anyone?!",
"I like the TV audio remotes at the bar. If you don't like what you are watching you can change stations, increase or lower the volume yourself. And listen to something else than the group next to you. \n\nThey have good specials, particularly after 9pm when they have a cheap apps menu for the bar. However I stopped getting my lunch takeout here because of the automatic gratuity added. If I want to be generous I'll give a tip. The food is sort of plain and I believe the automatic grat has the potential to only detract from the urgency of the service.",
"I wish they will go away and let another restaurant more deserving of the historical bookbinders building occupy the location.",
"So I was looking for a place close to my work to grab a quick bite to eat. I was in the mood for pasta (I know there are a few good places around there) that would not cost an arm an a leg (and yes, that is the kicker). I settled on Applebee's pick two lunch special. \n\nI ended up ordering the 3 cheese chicken penne pasta and the broccoli Cheddar soup. The broccoli and Cheddar soup was actually quite good. Unfortunately, it was the tiniest of portions. \n\nHowever, the pasta was just awful. There was hardly any alfredo sauce on it at all. The chicken was almost inedible. It had flecks of black \"char\" on it. However, the char was terribly, terribly bitter. I am not really confident that it was char at all. I would not be surprised if it was really just a bit of ash scooped up and sprinkled on the chicken. :p There was not really grill mark patterns to the char. \n\nAdding insult to injury, prices \"start at $5.99\", but nothing on the website indicates what, if anything, bumps up the price. I ended up paying over $8, including taxes for this tiny, unsatisfying meal.",
"When you are a college student, the after 9 menu is like your wet dream. All the appetizers are half off, which sometimes in retrospect are as filling as the main courses. Not the classiest place in the world, but it is a chain restaurant. What more can you expect?"

"All these tables open and they wanna say a 5-10 min wait. Smh I didnt even sit down yet and im fed up.\n\n- update: service is good tho!",
"Probably the worst experience I've ever had in the restaurant. I went there with my grandson and wife, sat down right away, took 20 minutes to get a glass of water. We ordered and the food took another 20 million bytes or so to come. Food came, we had no utensils or napkins. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup figured play it safe in a restaurant of that type. It was awful, the soup taste nothing like a tomato soup It tasted like a bowl of starch. The grilled cheese sandwich was just like eating a greasy sponge. Truly inedible. My grandsons mac & cheese and hotdogs was cold and awful, even a 3 year old refused to eat it. My wife's club sandwich according to her was edible....... That doesn't say a lot. The young waitress was trying but was very inexperienced. Stay away from this place, opt for the good court, better good choices and the service will be better and probably cheaper.",
"Nothing goes with shopping quite like ice cream, am I right? On a recent mother-daughter trip to the outlets, we decided to consume all the calories we'd burned running from store to store in a single spoonful, and Friendly's was there with sundaes to do just that. \n\nThis is by far the cleanest Friendly's I've ever been to - its new, and still spotless. We perused the food menu which offered standard fare, but decided to leave all our calories for the ice cream. We quickly settled on sundaes - a classic banana split for mom, and a PB Cup for me. I ended up with the wrong sundae (although it was very similar, another peanut buttery flavor), and when the fellow working the ice cream counter realized that, he made me another to take home - that is absolutely the best service I've had at any Friendly's, and better than most other restaurants, too. I don't typically give chains 5 stars, but the service, especially from the ice cream counter, completely won me over. \n\nThe sundaes were also among the best I've ever had - this guy took his job very seriously, and mixed up plenty of toppings with the scoops, leaving me with heaping spoonfuls of syrup and pb cup pieces. If you're craving a good sundae, seek this location out!",
"We stopped in for dinner at 6:50 on a Saturday night. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait even thought there were at least 10 empty tables. We were told the wait was for the \"kitchen\". After 25 minutes we were seated and then ignored for another 10. Not even a drink order. There were a ton of people, including the manager, cleaning tables but no one came to us. If the kitchen is short staffed, GO HELP THE KITCHEN! We eventually got up and walked out. They watched us but no apology. Two stars because it was clean but obviously I can't comment on the food. Doubt we'll be back.",
"First time at this Friendly's location. Horribly dissapointing! Walked in to see eight...yes...eight un-bussed tables full of food scraps and dirty dishes. We were asked to wait about 15 minutes before being seated in the middle of the mess of dirty tables which were not cleaned off until we were about to leave. Waited for service for longer and saw others being waited on who were sat after us. Served food with no napkins even though the waitress caused a drippy mess when delivering our items. We were a party of 2 adults...restaurant not very busy. It's ashame. If managed correctly, this place could be a smash with the draw of the outlets. Last visit for us.",
"This location needs to work on communication throughout the whole restaurant. Not happy about the service or my meals when I come here. Of course anytime I order there is an issue. It's either I can't use my discount or my foods wrong. I'm done ordering and I'm disappointed in the staff and management. Will not be coming back I'd rather waste $10 on the salads in the food court that aren't good, but the service is great.",
"Service was terrible. We were sat right away, however our server had a babysitter problem and we weren't told about it. We waited 15 minutes to order a drink, which was a diet coke. It tasted like syrup. It took me 10 more minutes to change my drink. We still hadn't ordered yet. Our server finally showed up, and took our order. It took about 25 more minutes for our food to come. Apparently the restaurant was out of napkins and we got 1 cocktail size napkin each. My first time here.... pretty disappointed",
"Visited for dinner last week. Server was too honest. She brought out water and then said, \"Sorry I'll have to get you another. There's a lipstick stain on yours.\" First off, eww. Second, I didn't need to know all that. These types of comments continued the rest of the night. She told us all about the customer who screamed in her face over a coupon earlier in the day. The food was mediocre. Burger was so thin and overcooked it tasted like cardboard. \n\nI've had nothing but bad experiences at this location. Ice cream is always melted upon arrival. They run so many coupons and specials that they're making themselves seem cheap. If you arrive to order take out ice cream in the last half hour before close they have the door locked and give you attitude. This location is beautiful inside. Please get the staff and food together so it can stay!",
"If you want excellent and prompt service, THEN DON'T COME TO THIS LOCATION!! We came here for breakfast on a Friday because of their 50% off their breakfast menu deal, and instead, we got less than 50% quality of service! Whoever manages this location needs to do two things: KNOW THEIR ROLE AND FIND A NEW JOB!!! Who schedules one server on a Friday in an outlet mall location, during back to school shopping time?!? I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there's nothing common about common sense!! I mean really? We ordered buttermilk pancakes, and we got paper thin crepe like frisbees!! Pancakes are supposed to be fluffy!! The ingredients in her omellete weren't cooked thoroughly and were cold, and we sat for another 20 min waiting for someone to pick up the check!! If I wanted to be held hostage, I would go pick a fight with Isis. So yeah overall, this place was about as good as a monkey's anus...",
"Don't even bother - we were told 40 minute wait, 4 people with (1 handicap) stand at the door and wait while at least 10 tables available with 4 or 5 unbussed. Hostess & manager kept saying we had to wait on the kitchen, so couldn't be seated at empty tables!? \nHorrible!"

"Brunchie's has been right around the corner from us for the past two years and yet we just now discovered it....and boy, are we glad we did!\n\nThis place is about as much of a diner as you can find....the only thing it needs is to be a free-standing building instead of in a strip mall and the atmosphere would be complete.\n\nWe stopped in on a Sunday for breakfast and knew something must be right here when we had to wait for 20 minutes for a table. Whilst doing so, we had a good view of the short-order cook doing his thing, which thoroughly whetted our appetites. \n\nFor our meal, we shared a small bowl of fresh fruit, I had the veggie skillet - a very generous portion of sauteed onions, peppers, mushrooms and black olives topped with two eggs - and my better chose the french toast. The latter consisted of six slices of Texas toast dipped into an egg batter that was redolent with the aromas of vanilla and cinnamon and then cooked perfectly...slightly browned and crispy on the outside yet tender in the middle. \n\nThe food is only part of the story here, though. We loved the local neighborhood feel of this place....unlike Indy, Carmel is not bursting at the seams with little home-style restaurants like this, so Brunchies is a real treat. Our server, Jenny, was so bubbly and welcoming...her personality and attitude truly made it a pleasure to eat here. There were plenty of regulars on hand during our stop, too, as many of them were greeted by name - this did not go unnoticed by us :-)\n\nWhen it was time for us to pay and leave so other hungry Brunchies fans could take our place, Jenny offered us some vanilla birthday cake to go. Apparently, the establishment was celebrating its 2nd birthday that weekend and had cake on hand for its customers. We took ours to go and enjoyed it later that evening while discussing when we might hit Brunchies again...this time for lunch!",
"Not bad for a local family owned breakfast place. I always order an omlet egg whites only,and they are fantastic.Service is usually fast and friendly. I did try lunch here once and it was not a good experience.I highly reccommend for breakfast. If there is a line, ask to be seated at the bar. You can bypass the line.For excellant service,ask to be seated in Rae's section.Wonderful server!!",
"Yum! Was in town for a family wedding and found this place. We went late (around noon) on a Saturday for breakfast/brunch and it was great. There was no wait, the food was tasty standard breakfast fare, and the service was wonderful. Everyone we ran into who worked here was friendly and helpful. \n\nThe food came out fast, fresh and best of all was very affordable! Coming from Boston, it was a real treat to find such a yummy affordable place.",
"Love this place. \n\nDon't come here looking for gourmet anything...it's bacon, sausage, eggs, toast, hash browns, omelets. It's breakfast! \nThe All American is what I get, very similar to a Denny's Grand Slam. It's good, every time. I think it runs like $5.99 or something, which is more than reasonable. \n\nThe staff is very friendly. They always remember my family. \n\nIf you get a red gumball out of the machine you get a free side of biscuits and gravy, or a gigantic cookie. =)\n\nThe place gets busy. I've waited a half an hour to eat. I don't mind it much though...It's not like there's tons of places to get breakfast around Carmel. It's quick, easy and gets the job done.",
"Nothing fancy. Wait staff was plenty hospitable, down to earth. Otherwise, meh. Had coffee (medium strength, okay flavor) and pancakes (eh, okay, not bad, but nothing to write home about). Not sure I'd go back, but it might be okay for your standard eggs and bacon...especially if you're taking your dad along. He'd probably love it.",
"It was fine. Nothing special. It was my mom's birthday and the server said happy birthday but that's it. I won't go back unless a friend wants to go there.",
"I've been here twice now, once for lunch and once for breakfast. The first time was lunch and it was OK. I had a Cobb salad and my boyfriend had the breaded tenderloin. The salad was alright. It came with chicken, bacon, egg, avocado and a few other things that I forget now. I've had better salads elsewhere but like I said, it was alright. The tenderloin was good. I only had one bite but it was thick and the breading wasn't too heavy or greasy. The second time I stopped in was on a Sunday and we didn't realize that on Sunday's, the only thing they serve is breakfast. Thought that was a bit odd. I had the Belgian waffle and as far as waffles go, it was just fine. Everyone else at the table finished their plates so I can only assume that they were pleased with their food. I will be back only because there were quite a few other things on the lunch and breakfast menu that looked good.",
"Awesome food and great service. Homemade chips melt in your mouth!",
"How difficult is it to make breakfast? I've given the place a try three times thinking, maybe the cooks had an off day, maybe the server was new, maybe because I'm not in there every day I'll be treated at least OK. No, no and NO. Food was cold and tasteless. Coffee tasted like they had recycled the coffee grinds for the fifth time. Servers were clueless. When asked if there was any cheese in a menu item the response was \"I don't know\" and then gave a blank stare. Wouldn't even go and ask someone!?!?! It was so obvious when a \"regular\" came in they were treated like they were carrying bars of gold to hand out to the staff. I wanted to like you Brunchies but all you do is remind of an ex boyfriend who just didn't have a clue.",
"The one and only star is for their service. Corned beef skillet was horribly bland. The eggs were all, either over or under cooked. But they will replace if you complain. The pancakes were very generic. \nA breakfast place that can't do breakfast well. How this place remains in business is beyond me."

"On a whim I decided to try this place since I wanted Chinese food and was in the area. OMG what a mistake! The first question I asked was if they use MSG, the lady said no so I decided to order a combo.\n\nIf you are looking for a place that is sheer quantity then this place is for you if you don't mind what it tastes like. Can you just say, \"It tastes like burning!\". I mean I understand for the price it is not going to be the best tasting ever, but at least taste something more than the fuel that fires the wok.\n\nThe BBQ pork tasted like some fatty something, the fried rice tasted like fueled rice, the lo mien was noodles covered in lard, and the cream cheese won tons were burned on the outside and semi-frozen on the inside.\n\nI tried to finish, but even with all the years I ate MREs in the Army and the bad chow I ate there I believe that I have experienced the worst food I have ever ate.\n\nTo make things worse she lied on the MSG, about 30 minutes later I got a major headache because of the MSG in the food. Some people absolutely love this place, I just don't see how.",
"Good chinese food at a good price. Their combo meals are enough to feed 2 people. Service is friendly too.",
"Absolutely the best Chinese food in Valrico. We eat there at least once a week. Great service, great food quality and price. Everything is fresh - especially the chicken. The Hot and Sour and Won Ton soups are excellent. We prefer the Gen Tso's Chicken, just the right amount of spice. The Sesame Chicken is a hit with my daughter. Don't experiment with the other Chinese restaurants by Wal-Mart or KFC. Golden Bowl is the place to eat!",
"I read the inspection report today after eating here a week a little over a week ago, so maybe they made changes since the inspection, because the food was the best I've had since I've been in Florida. I tried another place tonight because of the lady who mentioned the inspection but there was no comparison and I feel like puking it up. Golden Bowl was super fresh with the best spring rolls ever! I think I will just brave it and go back here next time.",
"My husband and I have been eating here for years. It is the best for the price, the service is always friendly and the food is delicious. I have their # programmed in my phone.",
"I can throw down with some orange chicken. Shoot, let's be honest...I've been known to go double orange on occasions. \n\nGolden Bowl is really delicious. And Fresh. They make everything to order, which is rare at $8 a combo. \n\nIt's a tiny little dining area...and really not suited to dine in...so call ahead about 15 minutes. There is a great little liquor store next door if you need some sake or good beer.",
"This is our go to place for Chinese food. I have never had a bad dish and they will make anything to order. Great people and even better food.",
"After living here for 10 months and trying around 6 different Chinese places, I think I finally found my goto place! Egg rolls are fresh, crab rangoon is good, and all of our meals were hot and delicious! Definitely worth the time to pick it up :)",
"Awesome food and sweet people that work there. I can go months without ordering and the girls up front always remembers me when I come in. Haven't found a better place than this!",
"I eat here about once a month, I love there egg rolls and my kids love them as well they are delicious also get an order of the crab Rangoon's to go with our entrees. They have very good lo mein and have never had a bad meal from them only reason it isn't five stars is service is slow at times."

"My lil brother was in the mood for a good steak, and we reviewed our options; the Library, the Pub, and Steak 38. We enjoy the Library II, and my family enjoys the Pub, but I wanted to try something new, like Steak 38. Our cars were complimentary valet parked, and we strolled into the restaurant. We had very early reservations (5:30) and the contrast from the bright spring day into the dark restaurant was significant but relaxing. The Maitre d' was very kind and welcomed us from our car to our seats. Our wonderful and informative waiter, Paulie, was helpful and patient. I ordered a Bombay Sapphire martini, extra dry with an olive, and it came out perfectly! The drinks can be expensive, but my drink was awesome! There were loaves of crusty and delicious bread, which was accompanied by plenty of whipped butter and house-roasted peppers...what a treat! The staff was more than happy to refill the bread and butter, which was just a hasty mistake on our part as the upcoming food was the showcase. We ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell, which were superb, and we also had steamers (which were great, but I much preferred the raw oysters :)) Additionally, we ordered salads, which were tasty, but my fiancee's soup, the cream of mushroom with crab meat, was far more superior-- Wow! We ordered our main dishes which were the following; Surf and Turf (med rare), Porterhouse Royale (with jumbo-lump crab meat, served med. rare), a Filet Royal (med. rare), Rib-eye (med), and a Filet, (med. rare). Our steaks came our perfectly grilled with the desired temp.! The au jus was fabulous, and we couldn't get over how impressed we were with everything. We were all too full to indulge in dessert; however, it sounded heavenly! After we had plenty of time to relax, and digest our food, our check was delivered with a price that I felt was very fair for the quality of food, the service, and the priceless time I had I got to share with my family. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience, and I can't wait to dig into my left overs in the AM! We'll definitely be going back!",
"Good price and decent steak cooked nicely. Very nice service too. A hidden diamond in the rough.",
"It seems that since reopening the interior was updated and freshened up, the atmosphere is cozy & comfortable. The A/C works well so this is a nice reprieve on a hot summer day.\n\nNow the food, we had the Calamari to start and while it was cooked correctly, it was over-salted. Then a pear walnut salad with a soft-shell crab app. The crab was very good, as was the salad. The steak was just OK, it could have been the particular cut (I had the NY Strip Au Poivre) as it lacked flavor and was undercooked, I did not complain and was prepared to simply accept it as a 3-star middle of the road meal.\n\nHowever when the server saw I only ate half, he asked why and I mentioned the above, he promptly comped us Bananas Foster desert for our party of 5 and took my steak off the bill. Since we did not request any of the adjustments, this was exceptional and above & beyond the call of duty. I was impressed that the chef and staff stood behind their business and we will return. Nice little bar too.",
"So glad that they re-opened and the food is great and at a reasonable price",
"Old-time steakhouse with traditional cart/busboy service. Hubby and son enjoyed steak en-brochette M.R. and declared them better than the Pub!! The twice baked was delicious, rich with a little cheesy taste. I had the mixed seafood salad which had a nice dressing and perfectly cooked shrimp and crab, and Plenty!\n\nToo full for dessert but the bananas foster looked yummy. We all enjoyed our soups as well- snapper and chowder. We would definitely go back as the price is fair for the quality of the food.",
"An outstanding steakhouse! We will be going back. Don't let the exterior mislead you.\n\nI recently read a food critic's review and it enticed me to go and finally try this mysterious steakhouse. I say mysterious because it's located in a windowless building that is attached to a motel/hotel. Weird, but once you are inside it's warm and inviting.\n\nWe ordered the Steak 38 (for 2) and were more and more impressed with each course. The Steak 38 is a very labor-intensive order for the waitstaff because most of the courses are wheeled out on a cart and prepared/served table side. \n\nFor us, it was nice to finally have quality and tasty raw oysters which were part of the seafood sampler in the Steak 38. The snapper soup was meaty and very hearty. \n\nOur filet was perfectly cooked and could have been sliced with a butter knife. \n\nI saved room for the delicious bananas foster. I was hoping it was as good as the dessert I've had countless times while I lived in New Orleans and.... it was perfect!\n\nOur waiter was friendly, yet professional. He brought us 2 baskets of bread and 2 plates of their roasted peppers before our meal was served. Our drinks were promptly refilled. The most impressive aspect of the entire meal was the perfect amount of time spaced between each course. We never felt rushed with courses piling up and better yet, we weren't left without something wonderful to eat.\n\nIn short, the atmosphere, staff, and food complete the trinity for a superior steakhouse. I cannot wait to return.",
"Went here on a Saturday evening and both of us left very unimpressed.\n\nI ordered the wood-fired shrimp as an appetizer and the 14-oz ribeye as the entree, cooked medium.\n\nI order steak quite often and can always tell the difference between a well cooked, tasty steak and a steak that has that burnt char-grilled taste to it. Unfortunately this steak (as well as the shrimp appetizer) was in the latter camp. In fact it was probably the worst steak I've ever got in a restaurant. It was definitely cooked medium -- no gripes about that -- but it was that very distinct, bitter char-grill taste that I couldn't stand. I tasted it after every bite.\n\nThe twice baked potato that accompanied the steak tasted like one of those frozen microwaved ones. I should have just gotten a regular baked potato. Also got the cream of crab soup which was very average at best. The slice of chocolate cake we shared for dessert was also very average - it tasted like something you'd buy from a supermarket. Definitely didn't taste homemade.\n\nAnother thing I didn't like was how over-bearing the wait staff was. They work in teams, so every two minutes someone would come over and ask us if we were finished with a plate or needed anything else. That's a major turnoff for me. Seems like almost every time I took a bite of something, someone was breathing down our neck. Weird.\n\nAnyway -- the inside was okay, but the food just doesn't cut it. Especially when you put it in proportion to the prices. There are plenty of other steakhouses that I would go to over this one in a heartbeat.",
"This happened years ago and I haven't been back since.\n\nI was a regular at the Brigantine one for a few years. I moved to the Cherry Hill area and found that Steak 38 was close by. I decided to take my wife for our anniversary. I called ahead and made a reservation for 9pm. \n\nWhen I arrived, I told the host I had a reservation. I was then told that the kitchen was closed. That's right, closed! No apology, just that the kitchen was shutdown for the night and see you later! Wow. \n\nAfter that I'll never eat there ever again. Beware, when management doesn't care, neither do the employees.",
"When your one of 5 people at the Bar and the Barmaid makes eye contact several times with you and feels it more important to wash glasses than offer service, you kinda realize your not going to enjoy the experience here. \n\nThe visit went down hill from there. I can honestly say I will not return, or recommend the steakhouse to Family of Friends. \n\nCan't speak for the food did want to stick around and try it. \n\nThe Live Entertainment was enjoyable while I waited. \n\nHorrible Bar Service...",
"JACKPOT! We started with a few raw items clams, oysters and shrimp cocktail. Everything was of the upmost freshness. From there salad which was served tableside, soup, prime rib, lobster tail, twice baked potatoe and finished with bread pudding and rice pudding. \nThe salad was fresh, the prime rib was tender, moist and flavorful. The lobster tail was sweet and probably the best I've ever had. The potatoe was delicious and the bread pudding was better than my grandmoms. OMG! this is now my regular spot."

"Nice staff. This place is really not getting it. Half of the customers come in and then leave after seeing that menu which has almost nothing on it. Add some real food to the menu and double the revenue! Got the cheese plate and there was not enough bread or crackers for more than 3 pieces of cheese. Also the beer selection is not that great. Only 1 light beer available bud light (not a big fan).",
"The girls working today we darling. Fun friendly and quick service! Beer was good and so was the roastveef sandwich! The Budweiser Signature is a great choice, your everyday bud served on nitro!",
"Came her because I was at next gate waiting to hear about indefinitely delayed southwest flight to Tampa. Hoping to hear something by staying close. \nThat didn't work but?? Very cold $10.39 pre prepared turkey sandwich with dry bread and salt and vinegar chips. Nice glass of red made it a bit more tolerable. Lovely waitress, ready to deliver at any moment certainly lacked energy. Long waits.",
"Place is filthy. Sanitation of the servers and bartenders and food prep person was horrendous, plastic ware tossed in basket ruffled around with bare hands to find what they need. Server handling a sandwich before service to put back together bare handed after pouring a beer dripping all over hands. Site manager came in pulled orange slice out of bartenders garnish set up and ate behind the bar. Can go on but bottom line beware for what you pay for airport fare they don't care because we just pass through waiting on a flight.",
"Great staff but extremely limited beer menu and the pretzels they brought me looked like they were heated in a microwave. Yuk! $8 for shriveled up bread. C'mon whoever owns this place. You know you have a captive audience in the airport but won't you feel better if you also deliver good product and experience? Have some pride.",
"Good for a beer but crappy food. Club sandwich consisted of a few slices of highly processed turkey on a half stale roll for $10. Service was good and friendly.",
"Didn't realize it was a budweiser restaurant till I sat down, and boy what a disappointment. Beers were boring, which was to be expected. But slow service and bad food were not. Ordered 1 of the 6 items on the menu, a Turkey Caesar salad, and got little more than lettuce with sliced deli meat ontop. Then they have the gall to charge $13 for it!\n\nOnce I saw it was a budweiser establisjment, I should have turned tail and run. My mistake for giving it a chance!",
"Bad food menu. They have bourbon, though, which is more than I can say for the other Lambert Field dining options.",
"Service SUCKS. They know you're here \"in and out\" because there's slim pickings when you're waiting for a flight. The pretzels were good.",
"Very good wine by the glass selection for a beer bar at the airport.excellent Caesar salad.... And catered to dietary request on sandwich....excellent service!!!"

"The best sushi bowls and wraps I've ever had! Excellent service and excellent food, can't beat that!",
"Fresh fish, tasteful sauces, and friendly service! My favorite thing about their menu is that you have the option to build your own everything! Love the tuna bowls and burritos! I would also highly recommend their tuna poke fries when they are available!",
"Hello..: follow this food truck. Staff, super cool. Food.... AWESOMEEE. First of all, the truck is solar paneled! That's just dope. Chicken Wings, yes please. So, I had a sushi bowl, they had a special which was the krab n avocado salad so I asked if I could have that as my protein base and they said yes, anyway, unlimited veggies and sauce. All fresh. Yeahhhh, follow this truck. I happen to see them at cage brewery, shout out to them for their mango bob beer! Basically.: this food truck... is a must try",
"Grabbed lunch here on a Friday since the food truck was outside my work for the day. I've heard rave reviews about the poke bowls from friends who have had their food before outside breweries around the St. Pete area so I was eager to try them for myself. I ordered a Krab bowl with all the veggie toppings (minus onions) and had the Ikiruka(?) sauce and Atomic sauce on the side. My co-workers each ordered a bowl with different proteins (tuna and coconut shrimp). We were able to pay with a card, and I believe they took cash as well. \n\nThe food was done within 5 minutes and packaged in convenient to-go cartons that were resealable and reusable. The food truck provided soy sauce and utensils as well. The food was very fresh and a decent portion size for $10. My Krab was good, but I tried some of my friend's coconut shrimp and would definitely get that instead next time. They are generous with the toppings and the seaweed salad and corn were my favorites. The only one I did not care for was the mango. They tasted like canned peaches and everyone in my group confirmed this. I would come back here and try some other combinations or even opt for a sushi burrito next time.\n\nReason for a star deduction:\n- Don't sell beverages\n- Mango (aka Peaches) were definitely canned. \n- Soy sauce was off-brand and tasted weird",
"Love his bowls . Had the shrimp tempura bowl . It was amazing . I will definitely be going to him to try out some of his other stuff . Can't wait for him to open a store front I am very excited .",
"First time ever having sushi & I loved it all !!! Definitely coming back ! \nPlace is very clean and family oriented. You get your foods worth for the buck ! 10 dollar sushi bowls",
"Best poke bowls ever. Super fresh, super fast. I will definitely be back! The menu is straight forward and the staff is awesome. I personally like the poke bowl with salmon!",
"I would highly recommend this place if you're a true sushi love. VERY AUTHENTIC. The owner and the employees is what makes this place that much better. The food is amazing. I have shellfish allergies and they made changes for me with no questions.",
"This is my new favorite sushi spot. The staff here are so nice and very helpful. I went here twice in one day because I went early in the morning with a friend and I just had to take my man back with me so he can get experience it also! I ordered the soft shell crab roll, kamikaze roll, dumplings (not pictured unfortunately), Mexican roll, ryu roll, and the Mount Fuji roll. My favorite so far is the kamikaze roll! It has salmon on top with tempura shrimp and avocado inside. The soft shell crab roll was also very good. That was my first time ever eating a soft shell crab roll. Overall, everything I've tried was amazing. Can't wait to come back and try out some more!",
"This location just opened up a few days ago and was amazing!!! We had rolls and a sushi bowl, both were fresh and so reasonably priced. Their sauces are delicious and I love all the veggies you can get in the sushi bowl. The food here is filling and fast, definitely worth the trip."

"If you're a vegetarian or eaten within the last 48hrs don't go here. \nUnlimited all you can eat BBQ meats and salad bar. \nThere are 10 different types of meat available, great choices \n1. Sirloin 2 types of seasoning available \n2. Flank Steak \n3. Boneless Lamb \n4. Bacon wrapped chicken...had me at bacon \n5. Chicken wings \n6. Chicken hearts...it's different, I had to try it \n7. Sausage.. made at Pampa \n8. Pork lion a bit over cooked \ncouple of other beef cuts ...it's all a blur \n\n....you must love meat because it's $45 per person, so get your fill. I've been to different Brazilian steakhouses and Pampas has a great selection for salad bar. \nThe decor is a modern open design. The only drawback is it was the whole restaurant was smokey from the BBQ and not enough ventilation. I had to shower after dinner to rid myself of the smoke. \nEveryone was nervous from the server to all the carvers that come around with huge machetes that slice off pieces of meats from a long skewer right beside you. \nI have to admit, I too was a bit nervous as they were holding the knife at the table.",
"Be prepared for the meat sweats! \n\nIf you love meat and the variety of it Alberta has to offer, this is the place for you! Pampa is the first of its kind in Edmonton and will become a big hit for meat-lovers city-wide.\n\nThe decor is modern and inviting with a wonderful feel to it. The restaurant is open and inviting with a bar greeting you as you enter. Underground parking (free) was a welcome surprise, especially considering the location.\n\nIf you've never experienced a Brazilian-style steakhouse before, you're in for a treat. The idea is simple, a centrally-located salad bar gets you primed for the meal. It had a wonderful selection of cold items including salads, cheeses, carpaccio (excellent) and more. I was particularly taken by the quinoa salad (very flavourful) and the interesting selection of cheeses. One thing lacking - labels for each of the items at the salad bar.\n\nNow on to the star of the show! Once you've visited the salad bar, you return to your table with your plate and the parade of meat begins. Carvers armed with butcher knives and swords laden with meat begin to visit your table. The selection is wonderful, from lamb to chicken thighs (wrapped in bacon), to chicken hearts (try them, they're surprisingly good), to a multitude of different cuts of beef; you'll eat yourself into a meat coma.\n\nAs Oscar, the owner, explained to us later on, the meat is prepared with a minimum of fuss. Often times it's only treated (in the case of some of the beef) with some coarse salt. Each cut of meat is slowly roasted in a magnificent BBQ flown in from Brazil. Charcoal, shipped from Argentina, provides the heat and the flavour for the meat. I was struck by how wonderful it is to actually TASTE the meat. Often times meat is prepared in such a way as to mask the flavour of the meat itself. Not at Pampa; the meat is the star of the show and the chefs have hit the mark! My personal favourite was the beef rib meat, followed closely by their signature flank roast. The chicken was wonderful and juicy and the lamb was excellent. I agree with the previous reviewer, the port tenderloin was slightly overcooked.\n\nAfter we'd stuffed ourselves with meat and salad, we decided on a dessert. At our table of four, we tried 3 different desserts and not a bad comment among us. I tried the passion fruit mousse and it was excellent. Others had tapioca in a cabernet sauce (which I tried) and it was outstanding.\n\nThought I should make a nod to the wine list as well. The list was very respectable, with a nice range of low, medium and high-priced bottles. Lots of emphasis on South American wines, which is nice to see.\n\nOverall, this was one of the best dinner experiences I've had in Edmonton in a while. Our service was excellent, the food, top-notch and the surroundings extremely comfortable. The evening was nicely topped of by Oscar (the owner) giving us an up-close look at the BBQ. He is very proud of his restaurant and he should be. After being open for less than a week, the joint was packed when we arrived and there was nothing but good comments from our table.\n\nIn summary, if you love great meat, cooked in a way that lets the flavour of the meat shine, then this is a great choice. A first in Edmonton and well-deserved of the hype it has received. I've been to Brazil and eaten at a Brazilian steakhouse while in Rio. I have to say, our experience at Pampa was on par, if not better than my experience in Brazil. We'll be back!",
"Great tasting food... or should I say meat. It's basically meat dim sum and it's so worth it. Whatever you do, don't fill up on the salad bar. Meat was juicy and wasn't over cooked, every bite popped with flavor. It's a little steep but so worth it.",
"This is an EXCELLENT Brazilian steakhouse!\nHave travelled to Brazil and eaten \"the real deal\" many times. Also Brazilian restaurants are very popular in TX(and very good!).\n\nPampa is right up there on the MUST DO list. The meats are excellently prepared. Great salad bar, quality all the way. Service and atmosphere second to none.\n\nGo hungry as with all Brazilian restaurants outside Brazil, the are pricy. Then again you do have unlimited servings of deliciously cook meats.\n\nThank goodness they opened up in Edmonton! \n\nFor those from Calgary, do yourselves a favor, when in Edmonton try this place, definitely gives the two Brazilian restaurants you have there a run for their money.",
"Authentic brazilian rodizio style dining. It's great Edmonton finally has one. Compared to other Brazilian places we've been to the salad bar is a little small. There's a lack of seafood, such as shrimp, grilled or otherwise. Rib eye and garlic rump were the tastiest and most tender. Chilled roasted pineapple with cinnamon is popular and hard to come by no matter where you have Brazilian. It is pricy at $45 per adult...but it's a good authentic experience.",
"YUM!! Like some other reviewers, I have eaten at a churrascaria while in Brazil, and this restaurant definitely compares in quality. We went at lunchtime yesterday - make a reservation but it wasn't necessary in the end, as there were only a few other tables full. But the waitress said that it really depended on the day. The waitress was really nice and gave us an excellent recommendation for a wine (Finca Cayanta reserve bonarda 2009, $37). They have a nice drinks menu that has a lot of South American specialties (Quilmes beer! But painfully expensive at $7 for a regular bottle - you can get a 1L bottle in Argentina for the equivalent of $2). \nI don't know why everyone is complaining about the salad bar. There different kinds of salads (like pasta with meat, spinach, regular lettuce) and veggie accompaniments, lots of salad dressings, 1-2 deli meats, cubed mozzarella, a delicious hummus and carrot and celery sticks, a few kinds of olives... I thought that there was a really good variety. In any case, I'm not here for salad!\nOh, the meat... so delicious. Unfortunately they don't have the full range of meats at lunch (that's why I only gave it 4 starts. But it's because business people want to be able to just get in and out, and less choices = faster service), so I missed out on the lamb and bacon-wrapped thighs. What they do have: crispy-skinned chicken drumsticks (soooo tasty; I ate 3!), rump roast (also delicious), bottom sirloin (also great), pork sausages (dense and cumin-y and porky - would make a great breakfast sausage), and parmesan pork (tasty, but overcooked). The rump roast was consistently medium, and I think that they must only have one skewer going at lunchtime, because when I asked if there was something more medium rare, the waiter said he would have to go make another one, but since there weren't that many people there, I just had the medium meat - still good. I really wanted to try the chicken hearts (I love offal), but the waiter said that they only do it at dinner. I must have looked really sad because a few minutes later, he came back to tell me that he was making some, just for me! How nice. The hearts were perfectly cooked, tender and chicken-y, a slight vinegary tang to them. I think I would have liked them more char-grilled, but I was still pretty happy to eat them.\nReally nice and large bathroom. No music which is weird. But overall, really liked this restaurant, and at $22 each for lunch, really worth it. Would come back and try dinner for sure.",
"My husband and I went on a whim after hearing about it in the media on Saturday evening, considering it will be part of the Food Networks' The Opener. I am always excited about new restaurants that pop up in this town and love to check 'em out.\n\nHowever, I have mixed feelings. While I have no complaints necessarily about the ambiance, service or the food -- highlights include: the rib eye, bacon wrapped chicken thighs and salad bar. avoid: the meat slathered in some strange garlic sauce and the overcooked pork loin -- the price point is where I have I have the most hesitation. While it is unlimited meat, at $45 per head, I can't recommend it for more than trying it out once. But, if you can stomach a lot of protein, it's probably a decent deal. \n\nStill, if you've never been to a rodizio, I do recommend trying it out at least once!",
"What I ate at Pampa, I really enjoyed, but I fear I went about the experience all wrong.\n\nThe flat fee for your meal is $45, plus whatever desserts and alcohol you order on the side. That means, to get your money's worth, you'd better avoid food at all costs the rest of the day. Once your belly is totally empty, go to Pampa. It's awesome.\n\nThe food (at least, the food I was able to eat on a not-so-empty stomach) was extremely delicious. Savory bacon-wrapped-chicken and a yummy rump steak. Next time I'm trying the garlic steak, too. I was the only one at the table that missed out, and man, did it ever sound like I missed out.\n\nThe salad bar is pretty decent, with quinoa, cous cous, and several green and pasta salads to choose from. The potatoes were surprisingly delicious.\n\nMy dessert was really fantastic. I can't remember its name, but it was the creme caramel one with coconut milk and coconut flakes added in. Yum! Smooth, with a bunch of crunch from the coconut flakes!\n\nOur server was warm and friendly with a lot of knowledge about the food we were being served. He seemed really enthusiastic to be serving there and didn't seem to mind how late our table stayed.\n\nI'll definitely be back, but I'll be better prepared next time!",
"I was very excited on hearing that Edmonton had finally received its first Brazilian steakhouse. \n\nAs Pampa has been open for a few months at this point, they have most of their kinks worked out. The waitresses and servers (the guys who bring meat to your table) were all friendly and well rehearsed in the menu and the meats available. \n\nMost of the meats presented were fairly good. Favourites were the rib-eye and the lamb. The cold-food area (salads etc) had a decent selection with some different items that you dont see everyday. \n\nThe main negative I have against pampa is the price. At $45 per person for dinner in Edmonton, you are competing against the best restaurants in the city. Preparing \"fairly good\" food is not enough. Having some pieces heavily overcooked, others over salted and a request for chicken hearts (which was on the menu) taking over an hour to arrive are not things that should occur at this price point. \n\nAll in all, likely wont be back in the future. If you are really craving Brazilian steakhouse, try Bolero in Calgary. At $38 per person, you receive a wider selection of meats, a better cold-food area and better ambiance.",
"Don't get me wrong with the 3 star review. I really had a good time at Pampa the other day with fellow yelpers and tweeps. It's just that even though the quality of the food is pretty good, the quantity is the main reason to come here. A carnivore's delight, Pampa serves up delectably skewered meat prepared in unique ways. With their modern and expensive decor, this place could be ideal for an anniversary date! \n\nThe highlights of the evening, for me, were the garlic rubbed rump steak, bacon wrapped chicken thighs, the chicken wings and another rump steak. From what I understand, the rump cut is a great cut for grilling, but I may be wrong. The salad bar is far from ordinary, which really seems to fit well with the upscaled aspect of this place. In particular, I was quite happy to see a cold quinoa salad out there, which seems to fit in, at least sort of, with the Brazilian theme. \n\nAll in all, I wasn't disappointed at all with what I ate. However, what piqued me a little was the price. I'm not saying that I don't like to spend money on a good, expensive meal. I am just not convinced, beyond a reasonable doubt, whether it is worth spending so much. Of course with the meal, it's only natural that you'd have a drink or two and perhaps even a dessert, that is if the meat didn't comatose you by then. Add these things to the bill, along with tip & tax, and you're looking at about $70-$80 a person. \n\nI went there prepared to spend the money, but part of my preparation involved having two slices of bread and quarter of a watermelon the entire day. Don't know if that fits the bill of fine dining. I will go back, no doubt, but am curious if it'll ever be a favorite."

"The pizza is good. I just got a plain cheese slice. Thin crust and the cheese was ok. Many places use a fake cheese that tastes like plastic. This was ok.\n\nCafeteria style. Big, bright, and a bit garish.\n\nThe staff is a bit green. As I was waiting, another customer returned his slice saying it was burnt. I didn't think it was. The counter guy was rude and started to argue. Look, just give him another slice.\n\nThey have a Katz's Deli style ordering system. You get a card upon entering. Go to a counter to order your food and the guy will swipe the card . Then you pay when you leave.\n\nThere's music playing. Pop hits familiar from American \"Italian\" minstrel movies like Goodfellas \n\nMisspelled fettuccine and linguine on the menu. It also says \"imported pasta's\" but doesn't specify what they possess.\n\nItalians have spent hundreds of years pairing pastas with appropriate sauces. Here you can mix anything together. \n\nVerdict: I'd get a slice again. And bring earplugs",
"If you know the Passariello's formula you know it's clean, the food is good and at a great value, and the service is excellent. This is the newest outlet. It's bright, roomy with some giant booths and well laid out. \nI opted for a proper dinner with my dear friend, though salads, sandwiches, and pizza are great choices here, too. She had Chicken Francaise, mashed red potatoes and broccoli. All were delicious & the chicken sooo tender. \nI had Eggplant Parmagiana with roasted red potatoes and a cauliflower medley. Very nice!\nIt is not table service, but cafeteria-ish. That serves to ensure good food,... quickly. \nEnjoy!",
"Took over 10 mins to get a salad on a very slow Sunday night. Dinner also included a slice of pizza (almost cold). My son had a calzone that was good. Mom had chicken Marsala, not particularly great, but half way through discovered a hair in it. AHHHHHHH!!! Needless to say everyone was fairly nauseous at this point. The manager was nice but stated the owner investigated the hair in depth and determined it was a mushroom tentacle. I've eaten plenty of mushrooms in my time; this short, coarse twisted anomaly was not a piece of mushroom. (Apparently, the guy with the beard who normally makes the chicken was off today so it couldn't be that) not that we knew a bearded chicken Chef could be a culprit. Luckily, they generously removed the offending entree from the bill; versus comping the whole meal. That's the equivalent of shooting three people and saying \"we apologize, the bullets on us\" as everyone leaves wounded. Perhaps this establishment will stabilize with time but i would avoid for the near future. Operation and management have a long way to go to hit minimum standards.",
"They have a wide variety of entrees to choose from and everyone working there were extremely friendly. I also liked the different options for dessert. You order at each station (pizza, pasta, soup, salad, and dessert) and seat yourself. The restaurant was clean and they have a decent seating area. I would come back!",
"So many choices! Beautifully done renovations and staff are wonderful! Food was was delicious - go hungry portions are big!",
"Part of the 2018 Yelp Tour with my boys. Kid friendly, clean, affordable and a lot of healthy options. Very spacious and pleasant service. Especially liked how the kids could go back up and get more pizza (or whatever they wanted) with the card. Highly recommend!",
"This is a great Italian restaurant. The food here is very good and has so many options. A casual atmosphere with great customer service!",
"They have great pizza at good prices and there are a variety of options! 100% recommended",
"This pizza didn't last more than 10 minutes in our house. We had friends over and wanted some quick takeout and we wanted to try Passariello's for a change. We were not disappointed!! We were very pleased and this may be our new pizza place from now on. \n\nThe woman taking our order on the phone was super nice and accommodating. She let us create our own custom veggie pizza which was nice. The order only took about 20 minutes to make 3 large pizzas and the price was very standard. \n\nThe large pizzas are a perfect size and they do not skimp on the toppings! The Toscana pizza was the favorite out of our crowd (we did a Toscana, a 1/2 cheese 1/2 sausage, and veggie pizza with mushrooms spinach peppers & onions). You can really taste the flavors of the cheese and seasonings on the white pizza. Also, sometimes veggie pizzas can turn out soggy, but ours didn't. It was perfect with a ton of toppings! Healthy right?\nThe sausage was great too, cut into small cubes and very crispy. The crust is authentic New York style pizza, and it's great dipped in some olive oil and balsamic. I'm disappointed there are no leftovers. \n\nThe only downside is the parking since it's in downtown Haddonfield. You may have to park down the street and walk a few minutes, but this definitely won't prevent us from ordering here again!",

"Nothing like a good blood steak, but their vegan dish are a close second.\nVegetables never tasted so good.",
"Ventured to New Hope last night to check out the new Vegan restaurant. Really enjoyed it. Jeez, if someone cooked for me like that ALL the time I could easily become vegan or at least vegetarian - until the grips of a steak or bacon craving got to me of course! In any case, even as a Carnivore one can totally enjoy the food at Sprig & Vine. Please check out the photos I posted - you're going to want to come try these dishes for yourself (since you can't scratch & sniff the pictures).\nTried something from each course & the only thing I wasn't wild about were the side of greens. They were good, just not for me, but my friend liked them. Liked the artichokes A LOT - kind of wanted to\nlick the plate (for real, but I didn't). Enjoyed the risotto cakes too. The Olive Oil cake sounds kinda of weird but DOES NOT taste kinda of weird. It was yummy. The atmosphere was comfortable & the service was impeccable. Colin was friendly & knowledgeable & gave us lots of time to enjoy our meal. Get there NOW before it gets too crowded. Soon, as more people discover Sprig & Vine, this place is going to be booked solid.",
"This is a new vegan restaurant in New Hope opened by the former Sous Chef from Horizons. If you are not familiar with Horizons, it's one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Philly.\n\nI tried this place today for lunch. Had the asparagus bisque soup, which was OK. I wish it tasted a little more like asparagus. The fries were good and came with a garlic dipping sauce. For the main course I had the tempeh reuben sandwich, which was pretty good. The sandwiches are well priced and generously sized. (I could only eat half of it.) The chocolate mouse pie with coffee ice cream was the highlight for me. Loved it! Our server Colin was great.\n\nI would love to come back and try their dinner menu.",
"Tucked away in a small pocket of New Hope is a brand new restaurant filled with really big surprises.\n\nOwned and operated by Horizons' former Sous Chef, Ross Olchvary, Sprig & Vine is truly an amazing dining experience. \n\nOur party of 4 was greeted with a warm welcome by their host and we had arrived just after the big dinner slam, so we were promptly seated.\n\nThe entire restaurant was glowing with warm ambient light shining from very unique cork light fixtures suspended from the ceiling. After being seated, you can't help but feel absorbed by all of complimentary natural earth tones and the independent track list. \n\nOur server immediately greeted us with a smile and opened our bottle of wine and poured everyone a glass.\n\nWe started with the Fried Baby Artichokes, Edamame Falafel and Tofu Satay....all amazing. You almost feel guilty as your fork disturbs the pristine presentation of each dish, but the flavors and textures are truly out of this world. \n\nEver have black sesame tahini? i certainly hadn't. The edamame falafel was delicately placed ontop of light drizzles of the tahini. It was perfect and garnished with pickled radish.\n\nthe tofu satay was accompanied by pickled mango and had an amazing coconut-peanut glaze.\n\nWe ordered every entree except for the cornmeal-crusted tempeh (only because we were a party of 4 and not 5).\n\nThe slow roasted root vegetable pave was like a sunburst on my plate. Featuring local soft polenta, red wine braised shallots, and grilled asparagus, you forget that what you're eating is \"100% Vegetarian\". You forget because it's kind of hard to believe that such complex flavor is the result of purely vegetarian ingredients.\n\nWe also tried the Cauliflower Three Ways, Seared Coconut Risotto Cakes and the Moroccan Grilled Tofu. We had to try one of the side dishes, so we went with the Kennebec Potato Fries.\n\nI really can not say enough wonderful things about Sprig & Vine. After 3 bowls of soup, 3 appetizers, 4 entrees, one side, one dessert and 2 cups of coffee, our bill was only $122 dollars!!!!!!\n\nIn the past, i've paid literally triple this amount for half the quality!\n\nBring a bottle or two of wine, bring your friends, but also try bringing someone who has never had the opporutnity/privilege to try an all out vegetarian/vegan experience. it will totally change their perspective on food.\n\nWhether you're a vegan, vegetarian, or all out carnivore, do your taste buds and spirit a big favor and stop by Sprig & Vine for a wonderful and reasonably priced dining experience brought to you by a true artisan.",
"We had the Tofu Satay as an appetizer, Beet salad and cauliflower dish entree. All were quite good, but the tofu stay and cauliflower were the best.\n\nGreat food, great ambiance, great music, great host & server!\n\nDefinitely has the Horizon's deliciousness with novel food choices. I was just visiting this week but may have to make a drive up to visit again.",
"Used lunch as the litmus test and was blown away; the food was delicious and fairly priced. I am now anxious to return for brunch and dinner. In the meantime, I'd highly recommend any of the thoughtful sandwiches.\n\nThe restaurant is pretty, although the staff could have been a bit more polished and welcoming. Don't skimp on the staff!\n\n\nBonus: ample parking lot.",
"I am updating my review after the 5-course New Year's Eve dinner, so wonderful, savory, and surprising. Even the tea at the end of the meal was great. Glad to see this place going strong. I am so sick of eating soy-sauce-soaked stir frys, bland $20 pasta dishes, and french fries as a vegan. It blows my mind that local chefs are just so uncreative. Thank you, Sprig & Vine, for showing how it is done.\n\n===\nHorizons-style, upscale, savory, healthy food outside the city, hurray! Sprig & Vine offers a zen-like environment that does not compete with the food but is very relaxing. It's in a newish brick shopping center on the edge of town. This is not a big place, so make a reservation.\n\nThere is excellent service at the table and front door; we were treated kindly when we called to say we were going to be late. I'd love to sit at the neat black tile bar sometime. All four of us plotted to get something different so we could all have a taste, and the coconut risotto cakes won as the best dish. We also had the tempeh (huge portion and very filling), the root vegetable pavé (a lasagne-like stack pressed together), and the grilled tofu. Great sauces! The African Peanut soup was sooooo good, too, even in hot weather.\n\nI finally remembered to bring my own takeout dishes so I don't have to waste packaging or bother the staff. You might think this is geeky, but I think more people should do it. No more garlic sauce spilling out of styrafoam onto the car floor on the way home either. \n\nThe portions are huge all around, so we did not have room for dessert, which always happens, so maybe a late night dessert trip is warranted sometime. Our wine was handled well too, which included a cab that was a tad warm from sitting in the car and needed a few minutes in the fridge. \n\nOh please, vegan cuisine, creep just a little closer to my town so I don't have to drive so far for this wonderful affordable food.",
"I had a delicious meal here with very good service. The sauteed greens were fresh and not overly cooked - wonderful. The prices were quite reasonable for the quality and portion sizes.",
"Just got back from my first visit and already am planning my next visit. Real quick tip - get a reservation because it is small. They also have a little bar- type area where you can eat (no actual alcohol because it is BYO) that is near the front door. \n\nThe staff was great. We constantly had water and didn't wait too long for our appetizers or meal. The atmosphere is very pleasant. I don't know about you but I hate when small restaurants compensate by having tables right next to each other. Here you do not have to worry about that. The tables were well-spaced and it felt private even though we were in the middle of the room. \n\nNow on to the food. I don't know what I can say except for DELICIOUS. We had 4 people in our party and each of us got something different so I was able to get an idea about their other dishes. I had the Soba Noodle Salad with the Miso-BBQ Eggplant. Amazing! The salads are good sizes along with the entrees. You will not come out hungry. In fact, you may want to leave room for dessert (which we didn't). We had 2 non-vegetarians with us and they were very impressed with their meals, so it is a good place to bring a mixture of people. \n\nIf you come here also leave time to walk around New Hope or into nearby Lambertville. There are a lot of fun shops and also a view of the river. You will park in a lot with metered parking but (bonus!) the meter takes cash.",
"WOW! As a veggie I usually find I hold restaurants that tout themselves as \"Vegan\" to a higher standard. Sprig and Vine will not disappoint and moreover will impress the palates of meat eaters as well \n\nWe started with the spring onion pancake app and it was de-lish!! There is enough for three people to have a taste. Which reminds me... the portions in all aspects of the meal were great. If you like spring rolls you will enjoy this app. \n\nI then ordered the canjun crusted green tomatoes and my husband elect got the miso BBQ eggplant. \n\nThe tomatoes came with a \"soft\" polenta which had the consistency of grits, (love love love grits!! my family is from the south so I am familiar) and collard greens steamed perfectly. The eggplant, which I enjoyed more than my own dish was so mouth watering, and served over a jasmine rice with corn and greens as well... \n\nIt seems from looking around at other tables all the dishes are served with all ingredients piled together which I love, and made one savor and enjoy all the flavors on your plate at once. \n\nIt is BYOB and I found that the natural teas and sodas were too pricey for my taste...$3 a glass so stick with just water if you're like me. However the meals were $17 and $18 respectively, pretty cheap for such hefty potions, by my wallet standards\n\nI will be eating here again for sure."

"I don't get it. I am told they are the best Mexican in Franklin. My coworkers order from here all of the time. I just don't get it at all. \n\nThe decor is nice. The service is good. They have reasonably good margaritas and fun trivia nights. But when it comes down to it, I just was not impressed with the food. They had a lot of great looking things on the menu and at reasonable prices. I just didn't like any of the food I got. The flavors all seemed bland and muted. It was similar to the feeling of wanting homemade marinara sauce and having someone open a cheap store brand jar of tomato sauce. Just not the same thing. I felt that they tried to overcompensate for lack of flavor by drowning everything in their sauces. As it turns out, more sauce does not add more flavor, it just makes it messy. I will order here for lunch occasionally, so as not to be left out when the coworkers are ordering. But with each enchilada, I think I will feel a part of my die inside.",
"This is the best Mexican restaurant I have been to in the area. My boss and his wife go here all the time, so my husband and I had to go see what the hype was all about! We love it so much! We usually will eat here when we are in the area. They have the best salsa around! The chicken chimachanga is so wonderful! Their nachos are also really good! I haven't tried a lot of things because I get hooked on one thing then I have a hard time ordering anything else. I really liked their enchiladas as well! I always order chicken and it has always been wonderful!",
"Loved it! 2# 11's were great and who doesn't love 32oz Dos Equis? Good prices and the fam and I will be back.",
"Nacho's is one of the best traditional Mexican Restaurants in the Franklin area. Great place for lunch. Excellent service, great food, good prices. We've been twice in the past two weeks. Look forward to the next time.",
"I had Nachos Nachos they were amazing....service was great as well! The light bulb flickering was a little annoying but we had a great time.",
"First of all anyone trying to get to Nacho's be aware the GPS is off. It will put you either in the parking lot of a car wash or the backyard burger. If this happens to you then look to the east and you will see a Publix. Drive to that building. When you get to Publix front door turn right and nacho's is on the corner of that building. \nNow for what is in the Building. Nacho's interior is clean and the menu is high quality compared to other Mexican restaurant menus. They had lots of glossy pictures and Americanized descriptions of the entrees. I especially thought the paintings on ceramic roof tiles was a nice touch. \nNow for the weak part. the food. First, I thought the salsa was homemade but not a good flavor. It had a very acidly tomato flavor and very little spice note. Then, for my entree i ordered special fajitas which is a combination of steak, chicken, sausage and shrimp. The overall portion size was good but, all the meat was in such little chunks that they lost most of their individual flavors. Don't get me wrong i did clean my plate and i would eat there again. I just would not drive out of my way to do so.",
"Nacho's has been one of our favorites for a long time. Service is always good. Food comes out fast. Overall great experience.",
"Being from the southwest, I like good tex-mex and mexican food from time to time. So on a whim my girlfriend and I thought we would try Nachos, one of the more highly rated Mexican restaurants in Franklin. I hate to say it, but the food was just average and the service... barely passing.\n\nThe cheese dip was very thin and there was no where near enough cheese on my chicken enchiladas. That being said, I have a saying, \"There is no such thing as To Much Cheese.\"\n\nThis place does not provide anywhere near enough.\n\nDon't get me wrong, their deserts look awesome. However, I think I will stick to the greatness of El Rey and San Antonio Taco Co. for now.",
"I have eaten at Nachos enough to form an honest opinion. I have been at night and for lunch on Sundays. The night staff seems to be a little more efficient. I usually get the pollo santa fe. Sometimes the chicken is over cooked and dry or really thin. The last couple of times we have eaten there the service wasn't that great. \n\nI will go back, but it definitely isn't the best Mexican food in Franklin, in my opinion.",
"I've been eating Nacho's since I moved here 2 yrs ago. I had been searching for good mexican food since arriving from Texas ! I love Nacho's, the service is great (ask for Chuy if you can), the food is excellent, (try the poyo bandido), & the chips & salsa are great ! I eat here as often as possible ! Keep up the good work !"

"This is the best French pastry shop I've been to in St. Louis. It's owned by actual French people. Their macarons are delicious, especially the filling where the flavor pops. The blueberry marscapone tart warmed my heart with its crisp pastry crust, tart blueberry filling, and creamy marscapone topping. Well done.",
"I had the passion fruit choux. It was delicate and scrumptious (the word seemed to fit) Nothing was too heavy and the passionfruit creme added just enough tartness to notice but not enough to overwhelm the palate.\n\nThe owners seem quite nice as well.\n\nI'll definitely be back later and hope others will give this place a try! :)",
"I've been here several times since it opened a few weeks ago and it is excellent all around.\nThe bread is fantastic (you can buy it to take home, which I have done), the macarons and choux are delicate yet bursting with flavor, the sandwiches are well-balanced. I haven't had the quiche yet but my coworkers say it's delicious. The owners are friendly and the space is clean. It's a great place for a relaxing lunch or breakfast.\n\nTry the lemon macarons and the raspberry pistachio choux--you will not regret it!",
"Great little cafe! The chocolate brioche was brilliant and they serve London tea room tea (creme earl grey is a favorite) I will be back to check out their sandwiches at lunch and croissants! Nice atmosphere and the owners are very nice!",
"Wonderful pastries and baguettes like nowhere else in St. Louis.",
"Recommend place for breakfast and lunch in the area!\nReally friendly owners!!!\nGreat food and deserts!!!",
"Adore this place. The employees/owners are so welcoming and warm. The decor is lovely. Wonderful savory and sweet items made by the French. One can't go wrong.",
"As others have said, this is a wonderful, authentic, and welcoming place with truly exquisite pastries and best cappuccino (Lavazza) ever.",
"My friend and I caught up over pastries and coffee this morning and were amazed by this little French bakery. The owner is an adorable Parisian woman who moved to St. Louis and opened the shop two weeks ago. The croissants practically melt in your mouth and take you back to Champs Elysees. The macaroons are just as beautiful as the ones you wait in line forever for at Laduree. Give it a try and support local businesses!",
"My friend and I had a lunch date a few weeks ago at Like Home. It really was a wonderful experience all around. When we arrived the girl behind the counter was so friendly and made a few recommendations since we did not know what to get! My friend ordered the Salmon Tortine and I ordered the Veggie sandwich. We both ordered balsamic salads as our side and we each selected a macaroon. \n\nThe cafe was not too busy so we were able to find a table quickly and once we sat down the girl from behind the counter brought us glasses and a glass jar of water. Again, super friendly. A few minutes passed and before we knew it our food had arrived! The salads were crisp and colorful and the sandwich and Tortine both looked amazing. I could not wait to eat my veggie sandwich since the bread looked exquisite. It must have been a true french baguette. Crispy and just the right amount of dough. I was in haven during the entire meal. My friend and I both enjoyed every last bite and were already planning our 2nd trip back before we finished. \n\nThe pastry selections all looked amazing. I should probably go in the morning to try their breakfast items. Pastries are my favorite thing and I need to try all of them. The cafe was decorated with french style items and really made me think I was somewhere in Paris enjoying a meal. \n\nWe ended our meals with the macaroons. Light, airy, sweet and tasty! Just the perfect ending to our meals. I cannot wait to visit again!"

"First impression:\n\nI was lucky to attend Chipotle's soft opening (disclaimer: I got to eat for free). I'm so happy this pleasant, clean, and friendly location is opening so close to my apartment. There's not much that I can say beyond the fact that this is, like all others are, a standard Chipotle.\n\nOr maybe it's not -- this restaurant shares a historic building with a Starbucks. It used to be a Del Taco, but you can't tell that anymore. The parking situation here is a bit hairy. You'll have to make an awkward turn from Grand to get in here, and dodge Starbucks drive-thru customers. A yummy burrito, though, is worth life's minor inconveniences. (Another inconvenience: It's very noisy here. Expect to yell and be yelled at until they figure the acoustic situation out.)\n\nThat's about it. Glad to know Chipotle's in the neighborhood now.",
"Meh. I've experienced better, its ok, I prefer Qdoba, Chipolte a little overated, food doesnt have much flavor. Not the friendliest Management!",
"This is Chipotle. You're not coming to yelp to find out what their burritos taste like. Therefor I'm not writing this review about their food. It's tasty. It's big. It's waaaaaaay more (calorically) than a person needs for one meal. \nI'm writing this about the people. I live very nearby, and I've been in a couple of times. Every time I've been in, the staff has been super friendly and helpful. I had to speak to a manager recently (a special order kind of thing, not a problem with the food or any of the staff), and he was incredibly accommodating and friendly and we were able to work everything out. I know it can get annoying having to deal with college kids day in and day out, but these guys are awesome.",
"Food is always great, for a chain. the employees were friendly and fun... Keep up the excellent customer service!",
"Typical Chipolte. Will be getting the new Tofu soon. Brand new and clean. Limited seating. Friendly service. Next to Starbucks.",
"The line is never too long and the service is always awesome. And this place is incredibly convenient for SLU students.",
"They serve burnt black fajitas. Some staff have rude and have bad attitude. I did not liked the service. When complaint about the burnt fajitas the staffs says it is instructions received by their corporate. Cannot believe who will like burnt fajitas. It has no nutritional value and it absolutely unhealthy. May even cause food poisoning eating these burnt-charcoal fajitas.",
"yummm. just another good mexican food joint notin the bad part of downtown. lol",
"This Chipotle is as good as any. I stopped by with one of the girls in my graduate program on our way back from a float trip down the meramac. We were damp, sunburnt, and probably a bit gross after a day in the heat, but the employees were as warm and inviting as ever.\n\nThey joked with us, and one of them even helped me show my friend the \"proper\" way of unwrapping your burrito so it doesn't fall apart!\n\nWhat else can I really say? It's Chipotle. We all know what the food tastes like: good. Outstanding quality for food that's cheap or to go. The service at this place, however, is worth 5 stars.\n\nSide note, the prices are even cheaper here than in the area I'm from (Atlanta). An unexpected, but welcome surprise!",
"Veggie Burrito: black beans, rice, grilled peppers and onions, pico de gallo, corn, sour cream, guacamole and lettuce for $7. Pour Chipotle Tabasco on after every bite. It doesn't get any better than this. Fast Food Heaven."

"i love fridays that are in south jersey. my favorite food is their brownie obsession sundae. i've actually blogged about it. so good scott would recommend their grilled chicken and shrimp. my taste varies from time to time. i like their burgers though.",
"this place is okay. they don't have a large selection of vegetarian food so you might wanna go heavy on the dessert.",
"Best part about them is the late night happy hour on weekdays $4 long islands and appetizers!",
"Bad food, good service, lots of TVs.",
"So... I've ben here a few times. Food was excellent, service was good. Third time here and I left my visa card. I call the next day and spoke to the manager who told me that it wasn't there. He asked where I was sitting and what time I was there. I told him, and said he would call the manager that was there last night an call me back. He did and was told that my card was in a gift card box, the manager from last night had taken the key, the only key home with him. REALLY! It's 11:30 am and he will not be back until 7:00pm. WTF! \n\nWell now that I have to wait 8 and 1/2 hours to get my card back. I go home and wait. \nMy day has been screwed up by Mike the kitchen manager. \n\nWell it's now. 7:15 pm and I'm at Fridays. Guess who isn't?..... MIKE! You have got to be kidding me! \nThe manager that I spoke with earlier is still here. He tells me that Mike is late and will be here in about 10 minutes. I say I'll wait. About 5 minutes later, Matt, the manager come back over to me and says, I have some bad news, he said that it's going to be an hour before he gets here. He'll bring it to my house. KYS dude! I said I'll wait. The manager that's here keeps apologizing, but that's not going to get my card back to me. I can not express my level of dissatisfaction. Matt says let me buy you and your family dinner while you wait. Smdh!\n\nSo it is now 8:30pm and this guy (mike the kitchen manager) comes in and poor Matt brings my key out to me. Mike didn't even come out and apology for being late or anything. Not sure it I'll be back because this guy has showen me that he doesn't care about the customer services experience. \n\nNote to the wise- make sure you have your card before leaving...",
"New steakhouse blue cheese burger is insanely good. I didn't get it this time cause I wanted to eat with a fork n knife but the meals were all ok.",
"It's TGI's...it is what it is. HOWEVER, I have one serious complaint and every time I think of coming here this is the one thing that makes me change my mind. THE TAP BEER TASTES HORRIBLE. Their taps use cheap plastic tubing that ruins the flavor of the beer. Try the Bud, try Stella. How can you not know that your beer tastes like plastic? I am not Superman, my tastes buds are not super human. Can I seriously be the only person that can taste and smell it plastic in my beer. Mind you, it has been this way for years (today is 6/19/2013) sometimes I forget when I come in, but I am quickly reminded after the first sip. I don't want to call it a set up to make you buy bottles, but they have never even addressed the issue.\n\nIn a nut shell, the food and service is good enough to come back for. The draft beer is what makes me keep on driving to the next restaurant. Sorry guys, I've been telling you for forever and I guess my complaints have never made it past the bartenders.",
"Disappointing. I did the pick two for the spinach flatbread and chicken fingers. The flatbread was okay. The chicken fingers were overcooked and chewy. And one had a small bone! The fries were quite greasy. Service while friendly was good at the start. Then we were abandoned. And it wasn't really busy. \n\nRecently, I also learned a friend of mine who has physical challenges received \"clueless\" staff accommodations for him and his other disabled friends. He felt this was because the staff is overrun by young workers who lack experience. \n\nShame cause Fridays was one of my favorites. This particular location looks like its sinking. Consequently I'll never go to a Fridays anywhere again.",
"This is the worst TGI Fridays I have ever been to. The employees are too busy gossiping and probably on their phones to attentively serve you. My brother and I are members of their Stripes member club, and were not made aware that you receive free chips and salsa with every meal before we went to a different Friday's location. The managers here are as bad as the kid employees, and they never come to the table to check if things are adequate. If, and when, they give you old food or a wrong order they give you attitude when you ask for a different plate. Finally, the staff will get angry with you if they fail to ask recognize or ask you if you will be getting separate checks, especially since it seems to be such an enormous problem for them to ring up two credit cards or use a combination of cash and credit. \n\nOverall as a company, they offer you coupons through their rewards programs but don't allow you to use them in conjunction with their happy hour or the deals they have on their menus, so what's the point? Although, this may be one of the many inconsistencies we find with this location as well. Like how different waiters and managers allow you to finagle menu items in ways that seem totally logical (cheaper appetizers with the more expensive entree deals instead of the more expensive appetizers) while others will tell you they don't do that. \n\nOverall, Fridays has good food and seems like an okay business as a whole, but this location seriously disappoints and is overall rude most of the time.",
"Wasn't horrible but wasn't great either. They have all these specials and deals but almost everything they offer is some kind of meat dish. And when I asked to substitute with something that was of equal value, the waitress was told by the manager to \"just say you're really sorry but you can't change anything\". Well that's lovely. The food was ok. Nothing amazeballs. And the mudslide I ordered was small for the price and was basically a milkshake."

"As the name states the only thing that comes to mind when I recall my service and food is LAZY. My party was seated without silverware and the chef had not bothered to make a soup by 6:30 even though the menu stated a daily soup special. The food we where served was bland and the waiter took it upon himself to add a tip to a party of two. Save your money and eat else where this is defiantly a pub not a restaurant.",
"Great food and awesome atmosphere. Love the bands, and dj pfef on Saturday night. He really brings the level of fun! We had the buffalo chicken spring rolls, which rocked. And the salmon dish was amazing, along with the Beefstew. Every drink was delicious and had great specials!",
"Talk about night and day, this place used to be incredible~ when it was under Dublin Square's joint ownership. Apparently the two owners, brothers, had a falling out, and recently went their separate ways. The entire vibe of the place has changed. Gone is the once friendly service and tasty food. The menu has been replaced by a standard pub fare menu wit the occasional traditional Irish meal. The half price Irish meal lunch specials are also history. The service was awful and unfriendly to fair at best. No silverware was even offered to my wife and I at a recent lunch there...we had to ask for it...no napkins for the drinks..my Guinness was pouring over and no one offered to tidy the over spill...it was just a very negative experience. An experience that has permanently turned my wife and I off to ever returning to this location. They need vast improvement, or judging by the lack of customers,t hey are headed for a chapter 11! AVOID!!!!!At all costs! And no, I am not the former owner or associated with him or her....just a regular client from the old pub days.\n\nATTENTION!!!!!!! Can you fathom the owner of this place privately writing to me here on YELP! Incredible. Here is his e mail, I will follow it with my retort.\n\n\"Regular client from the old pub days? We have onlly been here since July. Your entitled to your opinion but mostly eveything that you wrote isnt true. Brothers did not have a falling out, the menu is 95% the same as before and we still have the half portions of irish lunch items. Get the facts straight before you comment. I'm a guy with a family trying to make it like everyone else so I take personal offense when you write heading toward bankruptcy. Everyone is entitled to comment on the experience but when you add things that arent true or just hurtful you have to question what kind of human being you are...\"\n\nMy retort:\n\n I replied in kind to his \"fighting Irish\" e mail again and publicly. This is YELP! , my page and my opinions, what I write on here is a non biased review of local and national establishments. I wrote what I experienced, and it was a very poor experience at that. My wife and I frequented this place before it changed names and menus since last July of 2011 at least monthly, if not bi-monthly. It was a class act then. There was a falling out between buisness partners, be it blood brothers or not, irregardless, the original business divided for x reason. The new buisness stands as I stated in my original review above. I do not wish the buisness to fail, but unless you sir, drastically alter your services, you are indeed destined to go by way of Jacks Pub. Avoid bankruptcy by heeding Brad and my review. Retrain your staff, reintroduce the traditional Irish lunch menu at half price, and by all means, do not take a review personally, it is a review of your buisness, not of you. Before I go, let us set the record straight: A) You lie in your e mail to me, as your lunch menu consisted of not a single Irish half price lunch portion. B) In addition, the quality of the food has significantly decreased. C) 95% of the menu is not the same, there are additions and reductions to the previous and original menu. I will frequent the original pub up in Cherry Hill, and rest assured will spread the negative word concerning your establishment. Good day and good riddance.",
"We were previously at this location when it was the former Dubh Linn Square pub. We stopped in Lazy Lanigans yesterday afternoon for lunch. The interior looks the same as the previous establishment (which is fine by me). They built a new outside covered patio (all season patio w/ bar, retractable walls, etc.). \n\nOur server (Jen) had the personality of a wet blanket, she needed a shot of hapiness. (more like a intravenous drip). Though, she was attentive and got the job done. \n\nFor libations, Kate had the Wachusett Blueberry Ale. I wasn't feeling adventurous so I went with my stand-by, a good ol' Pennsylvania lager (that's Yeuengling son). \n\nFor grub, Kate decided to go with the special Prime Rib sandwich w/ Au jus, it was VERY good. (the bread had a nice crispness to it, beef was moist; and the horseradish sauce tied it all together). I had the Roasted Turkey wrap sandwich, it was good. (I like the bacon they use). The sweet potato fries had a nice crisp to them, they were larger than shoe-string but thinner than steak fries (skip the side of cinnamon dip that the fries comes with...... just dip the fries in some spicy Colmans mustard and/or ketchup and you will be straight).\n\nNot sure what this place is like on a Friday or Saturday night but as long as it does not turn into a debacle such as the Tilted Kilt franchise, it should do okay. Overall, we liked this place for lunch & brew. I'd say a solid 3.5 stars. We will return if we are in the area.",
"I went to Lazy Lanigans the other night with my girlfriends for a \"Girls Night Out.\" The menu is similar to what they had as 'Dublin square,\" although some things have changed, but are very tasty! The beer selection was great and the bartenders were friendly and the servers were fairly quick and attentive. We stayed for the DJ, I think his name was DJ Pfef, and he was very interactive with the crowd and took requests. It was a fun night out with great music and food and drinks. We will definitely go back there sometime soon!",
"My wife and I stopped in Thursday evening about eight o'clock for something to eat and a drink. I live in the area and pass all the time and noticed the parking lot was always packed and overflowing into the bank parking lot and figured something must be going on there. We had never visited any of the establishments that previously occupied this building. We started out for PJ Whelihans but my curiosity made me change course and we ended up here. \n\nIt's an attractive place inside with lots of visual interest on the walls in a comfortable pub atmosphere. We were greeted immediately by a gentleman who seemed to be a manager and shortly thereafter a waiter took our order. The night we visited, a Thursday night, was moderately busy. My wife and I had a lot to talk about and she remarked that the place wasn't as loud as PJs and it was easier to hear each other. There is an outdoor area but we chose to eat inside at a table. The crowd was 20s to 50s in age range. We are an active professional couple in our 50s who travel and dine out regularly with sophisticated tastes but who enjoy a wide range of dining experiences from biker joints to fine dining.\n\nI had a Guinness and my wife had a glass of wine. We asked the waiter about the menu and he was knowledgable and eager to provide opinions and recommendations. My wife ordered a cheese steak which I finished and found to be good but unremarkable. I ordered Whiskey Chicken Boxty which was absolutely delicious. Their menu included a significant number of craft beers (please add Oskar Blues), food and cocktail specials. I noticed Guinness Stew and Shepard's Pie on their menu which are two of my favorites.\n\n1 Guinness, 2 glasses of wine, cheese steak and Whiskey Chicken Boxty was $39 to which I chose to add a $9 gratuity. \n\nIn a town with some of the finest Italian food in the country but little else it is nice to have a place where you can get something different to eat.\n\nThis place compares well with Scotland Run Country Club and PJ Whelihans and in terms of my tastes ranks between the two with Scotland Run on top. \n\nThe waiter was prompt and attentive and the prices were reasonable. We had a nice conversation with good food, reasonable prices and attentive service. We decided we would definitely come back again.",
"Anytime you want a perfect poured Guinness, come here. The service is fantastic and food is always delicious. I've never had a bad experience here and would recommend to anyone. 10/10",
"I was here last weekend with my boyfriend visiting his parents. We decided to stop here for a drink and a bite to eat. We sat in the covered patio area and it was really nice, staff was friendly...food is delicious. The sweet potato fries are awesome! We also had spinach artichoke dip and it was delish as well. Definitely going back next time I am in the area.",
"Absolutely the worse service of any restaurant/bar I ever ate at. In a mostly empty bar is it really appropriate for a waitress that forgot to bring me a beer use the excuse for a 20 minute wait for a beer that the bar was backed up? Or for good food to come out cold because no one from the kitchen told the waitress it was ready? Hey owner of this place try paying some attention or say hello to bankruptcy court.",
"I usually visit Lanigans for lunch or an after work get together with co-workers in which has always been pleasant. I convinced friends to have a gathering this weekend and was not happy with the service. I will not be returning."

"We were incredibly happy with our first experience. It was the first day, yet the service was impeccable. Looking forward to many more visits this summer, by boat. \nWelcome to the neighborhood!",
"Opening day so probably too early to really evaluate. Sat at the bar and took almost 10 minutes before one of the servers asked if I'd had my drink order yet which hadn't even been placed. The food was decent although the tenderloin to me seemed over cooked fries are nothing special. The new Decour is great and hopefully once the kinks are worked out it will be worth returning . I should note that the wine list is pretty non existent but hopefully that can change.",
"For only day three of being open, we were pretty impressed. We have been frequent customers at the Wolfies on Hague Road, so we knew what to expect menu-wise. I had one of the steaks, thinking that it might not be the best thing to order soon after their opening, but it was cooked as ordered. My husband had the country-fried chicken and said it was delicious. For sides I received a generous portion of green beans (and they were still warm), and had a salad in place of potatoes. I knew that it would be an upcharge, but it still would have been nice if the server had mentioned that. Some things on timing might be improved, such as my salad arriving after the rest of my food, but that doesn't really bother me like it might others.\n\nThe decor is very nice and airy; even though we were in the area farthest from the water, we still felt like we were on the lake. The tables were not too crowded and there were many families in our area, some in the spacious booths behind us. It was not too loud, and there were plenty of TVs turned to various channels. The bar area is huge, there are many tables outside, and there is a large upstairs area I assume can be used for private parties. We were welcomed, thanked, and checked on several times. The bottom line: we were satisfied with our food, the setting, and the price. We will be back.",
"FINALLY. A well-known Indy NE side institution taking over a prime piece of real estate on Geist Reservoir! I've lived in the area for 7 years, and this is the first time I've been to this location due to the well, frankly, terrible places that have been here previously. On to the food/service! \n\nIt was packed on a Wednesday night, but the weather was just about perfect so it was a great time to go! There is ample parking even though some people were already getting \"creative\". The nice thing about this place is that there are plenty of windows throughout so even if you end up in the dining room or bar, you still have lots of natural light and great views of the reservoir. This location is a bit different in that it's not quite as rustic/sporty as most of their other locations. That's likely due to the location, clientele, and layout. I like it! We were informed that there was about a 30 minute wait, but we were fine with that. Guess what! The host/hostess takes your phone number, and you get a text when your table is ready! No more carrying around pagers or having to listen for your name. \n\nThere's actually a really nice waiting area down the hall where you can still sit on the patio, and you can order drinks! If I'm sitting on the patio with a drink in hand, I can wait for some time for a table! Libby was our server out there, and I liked her immediately (the sharing of a name helped)! I honestly don't know how long we waited, but we got a text and headed to our table. We had said we'd be willing to sit in the bar or first available since we weren't set on being on the patio. Well, it just so happened that they gave us a table on the patio! I think due to position, it was probably the best one out there. \n\nKeegan was our server, and he was very friendly but did seem a little new to the job. (That reminds me, it was so fun to see Debbie from the Fishers location in the bar area!) The menu is the same as at other locations so it was pretty easy to compare. I got one of my favorites - the fish tacos with fries. They were exactly as they should be! My husband got the Woodbury burger which he enjoyed, but the fries were a bit skimpy. (I told him to ask for more, but he declined.) \n\nThere is also a covered patio area so it seems that even if it's raining but still warm out, you can get that outdoor dining experience. I noticed that there is an upstairs, but I believe that is for private parties/events. I'm very curious whether Wolfies will be taking reservations now for the fireworks over the bridge on Independence Day! \n\nSolid, solid Wolfies experience, and I know we'll be regulars!",
"We were shocked with the rather mediocre food some of our party was served. We have been to several other Wolfies and loved the food quality. At Geist, the prime rib sandwich was delicious but the BLT club sure didn't look much like a club. For the price we expected more than a rather flat (not stacked) BLT. On the plus side the service was great! Terrific location and when boat service begins we hope they have all their entrees up to Wolfies quality.",
"Opening day so probably too early to really evaluate. Sat at the bar and took almost 10 minutes before one of the servers ask if I'd had my drink order yet which hadn't even been placed. The food was decent although the tenderloin to me seemed over cooked fries are nothing special. The new Decour is great and hopefully once the kinks are worked out it will be worth returning . I should note that the wine list is pretty non existent but hopefully that can chang",
"Hubby took me for Mother's Day drink. We were lucky found parking, got 2 seats at bar and got great service by bartender Morgan and her colleagues. Very busy but did a great job. We ended up staying for dinner. Hubby got parmesan chicken and potatoes and broccoli and I got blue pecan chop salad. Both so good! Will definitely be back!",
"Yes!!!! Finally a restaurant to occupy this gem of a location. Good prices. Good service. We. Will. Be. Back.",
"So far so good! Food is good, we have had the crab cakes, wings, tenders, fish, pretzels, soup. Service is great. Sean tonight, Lyndsay over the weekend, they seem to be happy to be there and help out and have fun. We are looking forward to sunny days, dockside service and live music.",
"The menu is diverse and will meet everyone's expectations from a meal section perspective. I really like the remodel job inside the restaurant they have made the water views the most important part of the new seating (go figure). The prices are outstanding based on the quality of the food. The only reason it's not a five star is service during our visit with a party of 7 was slow at times."

"When it is not summer, I reside in Delaware. During the summer, my family resides in Ocean City, NJ. There, we indulge in our favorite pizza, Mack and Manco's Pizza. So, when it isn't summer, we normally don't eat that much pizza. That was, before we found Bertucci's. There is never much of a line and you get seated quickly. Soon after you are seated, you are given a basket of freshly baked, hot rolls (from the brick oven). They are delicious and served with a savory olive oil and garlic dipping sauce. Later, you can order a pizza or other Italian dishes. The pizzas are perfectly thin and crispy (the brick oven) and the tomato sauce and cheese are excellent. Our family has definitely found our new pizza fix for the fall. Go there now, you know you want to!",
"Ate here in late Sept. Started off with warm rolls and their olive oil/spice combo - nice. Ordered the Sporkie pizza: Sweet Italian sausage with ricotta cheese, tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Also had their Tuscan chicken wings: Spicy wings marinated in lemon and rosemary. Pizza was good, and I especially liked the wings: meaty, juicy, very tasty. Service was very good. I'd go back.",
"201 W Str is WRONG Address!! This address is a U Del Frat house! ; terrible mean people!! The Bertuccis 15 min from this address in Christianna is great!",
"I've been to this location a couple of times for work lunches and I've never had a bad experience. Usually we have 7-10 people for lunch and the staff is very accomodating and know how to handle the larger groups.\n\nBy now, everyone knows about the unlimited salad and bread deal, so I won't bore you with that information. But let me say that the bread and dipping sauce here is WAY better than the breadsticks at Olive Garden. \n\nEverytime I'm here, I get a brick oven pizza because the crust is cooked to perfection and the toppings are delicious. The last time, I got the new mushroom and asiago pizza and added grilled chicken - it was wonderful! Highly suggested.",
"I really love this place. They tend to switch up the menu seasonally which is fine by me. I like change. In the summer they have this excellent warm spinach grilled chicken salad. The grilled lemon wedge it comes with is a must. Douse some lemon juice and you're good to go. A few weeks back a client of mine too me out to Bertuccis and the service was sort of off. We had to wait forever for our salads and by the time we took two bites, our entrees were out. The food was, as always, phenomenal, which made up for the lack of service. Last night was date night and I picked Bertuccis cause the bf has never been. Excellent server and no wait for seating. He got the grilled chicken marsala with green beans and roasted red potatoes. The chicken was so juicy, and the wine sauce was divine. Neither one of us cared too much for the green beans, they have a strange taste. I got the four cheese ravioli, which is always good. The portions are huge;it's two meals for me. One thing that drove me crazy was the manager literally walked up to every table surrounded by mine and asked what brought them out, how was the food, service, and blah blah and gave them a $5 gift card. I would have also enjoyed a gift card! But that won't keep me from coming back. I love it here.",
"The address is wrong. The owner should open his eyes and correct the address. You really pissed me off.",
"I usually shy away from national chain restaurants. But in this case I'll make an exception. We stopped in for dinner on a recent weekend night. It was a great experience. Greeted promptly at the front door by a hostess and led to our table. Our server was efficient, friendly, and fast. Try the fried mozzarella appetizer. The chicken marsala was great, perfectly cooked and seasoned just right. The lobster ravioli was awesome, with huge chunks of lobster meat. Did not have dessert, but they all looked great.\nBertucci's definitely stands out among the national casual restaurant chains. We'll be back.",
"Ignore the bad reviews, absolutely amazing! I could not believe it was a chain restaurant when they told me!\n\nBrick oven appetizers, veggies, pizza and even desert!!\n\nA friend has a brick oven pizza co and this place was almost as good and he is a bonafide chef!\n\nService was excellent as well and good price for the food!",
"I know I shouldn't expect an amazing, authentic experience when visiting a franchise Italian restaurant, but I can't help but be somewhat disappointed in my recent trip to Bertucci's. I have been to other locations and with better results, so I was pleased to introduce my wife to this chain for the first time. Unfortunately, the pleasure was not mine. While our service was fantastic-efficient, friendly, and attentive- the food can best be described as \"meh\". You expect an Italian restaurant to get the basics right, but my pasta was way over cooked, the cheese on my plate was coagulated and stuck to the bottom, and my wife's eggplant and string beans were also over done. I would guess that the order sat under the heat lamp in the window a little too long, but that would surprise me as we were served quickly. A-Plus for service, but the food was disappointing aside from the bread.",
"Went to this place only once and I had a good experience. I forget what I ordered but I remember it being dank. \n\nThe reason for my review, however, is the fact that the map to this location is incorrect. The Bertucci's is not located on 201 West Main Street, Newark DE 19711, which is right near the university and is the address represented by the Yelp map. It is actually located at 201 West Main Street, Newark DE 19702, which is in a shopping plaza near Old Navy. This area is near the Christiana Mall.\n\nJust a heads up that the map displayed on Yelp is incorrect but the address is actually correct."

"This is a Mon-Fri breakfast and lunch establishment in the CBD. They have a quick moving line with plenty of selection and good food. The people behind the counter can be a little intimidating because you have to know what you want and place your order quickly. Don't forget to grab a tray, and then after you pay, turn around and grab your utensils. The baked rosemary chicken (a special) was really good. I think their gumbo is Ok. They have everything here from sandwiches to fried shrimp.",
"Fast food...plenty of seating and fast service (no waiter)...good food and cheap. It's your usual business area fast food lunch time restaurant. I had the seafood jambalaya....really good and it wasn't too salty!!! If you're in a hurry for lunch from work...it's a place to go grub at!!! \n\nServe yourself!",
"My go-to lunch spot - here are some of my favorites:\n-lemon almond chicken salad salad\n-veggie plate (or just order a few a la carte)\n-chicken & sausage gumbo, packs some nice heat\n\nAnd every now and then you might want to try the red velvet cupcake if you need a \"sweet\" treat to get you through the day, just saying.",
"I love this place. We go here several times a week for lunch while out here for work. I love the lemon almond chicken salad, the veggies, the meatloaf, the soup, the cupcakes. \n\nThe only thing I haven't been trilled with was the cobb salad - mostly because the chicken was a bit, um, gristle-y, but that could have just been a bad salad. I say that because everything else I have had has been very very good.",
"Excellent place for breakfast or lunch in the CBD. Peak lunch hour can get very crowded with lines out the door though. After 1:00 is usually alright.\n\nThey have daily lunch specials as well as salads and sandwiches that you can customize yourself. Everything I've tried has been good quality and the prices are reasonable.\n\nMy favorite is their fried catfish with mixed vegetables and macaroni and cheese.\n\n*Note that they are only open Monday thru Friday.*",
"As stated in the previous reviews, this is great spot to get a home cooked style lunch fairly quickly in the CBD. Its centrally located on Poydras, and while the lines get long, they move just as fast in a cafeteria style set up and with a friendly, but no-nonsense staff!\nThey have plenty of options for everyone! Pre-made salads (most have an animal or bird on them), fried foods (fried chicken, country fried steak), veggies (all simmering in butter), mac n' cheese (everything you'd expect from home made mac n' cheese), sweet potatoes, sandwiches, soups, etc, but you should remember this is southern cooking style, nothing is healthy in here! There arent too many, if any, vegan options either!\nCatty Car Corner has ample seating (alot of people grab and go) and is a great option for groups with varying taste and limited time (like a quick lunch during a conference or working lunch). Its not fancy but you will leave pleased! \nPersonally I dont eat here as much as I I would like, so that I can leave by fitting through the door!\nThe prices are comparable to any other lunch spot in the area. Since the servings are so large, I like to split the meals with a friend, so I dont fall into a deep food coma in the corner of my cubicle afterwards!",
"Perfect CBD lunch spot.\n\nGreat food, good prices, and super friendly staff. There is a line at lunch, but it moves very quickly, and there is plenty of seating. The portions are always big and flavorful, and it isnt crowded or noisy like a lot of similar style lunch places in the area.\n\nMost recently I had the catfish, which was excellent. Usually a lot of places in new orleans will skimp on catfish **ahem, Mothers, cough cough, overrated**, serving you such a thin-sliced and overcooked fish so you end up with a crispy catfish cracker. At Catty Car Corner, however, they give you a nice, juicy slab of fish.",
"I have only very recently begun working in the CBD.. and this place is my go to lunch spot. Great food at good prices with a very friendly staff. After only my second or third time there, the staff remembered me and always went out of their way to make sure I got what I wanted. THe lines can be long, but they move very fast. Customize your own sandwitch, or order the daily plate special, you can't go wrong. The only thing is they tend to give you too much food for one person. I have to make sure I don't eat there every day or I will be too big to fit in my pants :-)",
"After reading the other reviews, breakfast may not be their strong suit, which is what I had. Served from a steam table and everything has to be microwaved to eat a hot breakfast. \n\nNo wonder people hate jury duty.",
"3.25/5 solid lunch choice\n\nthere aren't many choices along poydras in the upper CBD, and the building tend to have their own cafeterias. this is a stand-in cafe inside a building across city hall, and there's a full hot lunch menu! and the portions are laaaaaarge, enough to share and still get that afternoon food coma.\n\nthe meatloaf was very garlic-y, which yummmmm, and the salads are fair. i'd say skip on the walnut raspberry dressing, it didn't quite come across as raspberry or walnut at all. the green bean side choice is great too.\n\nfor the price and options, i'll continue to come back"

"Went to Miss Winnie's for lunch today with a co-worker. He went with the pork sandwich, I went with the hamburger and we split some wings. Super fresh ingredients and great flavor! And for the quality of ingredients, you can't beat the price. Will definitely be going back to try everything else on the menu!",
"My wife and I were excited to try this new spot. We went at 6:25 on Saturday, but it was closed. They closed at least 35 minutes early on day they are supposed to have a dinner special.",
"I loved the food! I got the pulled pork and it was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The owners, (Bert and Nick) were really kind and accommodating to my dietary needs. You could really tell they cared for the customer and quality of their food. I would definitely recommend Miss Winnie's to anyone who asks. Thanks again Miss Winnie's for the delicious food!",
"I work in a nearby restaurant. I stopped in to this fellow local business to support them and sample their wares. I grabbed an extremely affordable original jerk pork sandwich. Ingredients tasted fresh, presentation was on point, and the pork conveyed flavors that were both new to me, and demonstrated a mastery of a specific carnal cuisine. \nI will be back; I'm looking forward to sampling the other regional offerings.",
"Damn was this good. Clearly, the cooks know how to make a great meal. I will be back.",
"Excellent jerk pork, patties, wings...rice and beans, veggies.\nI'm a regular now for this authentic Jamaican place. Great staff too!",
"Lord have mercy (In a Jamaican accent!) This place is so good. I've tried both the sandwiches and platters. Everything is packed with flavor. Best plantains I've had!",
"Went there for the first time today with my son for lunch. Like I told the one owner, it's a father and son team, \"if I had four thumbs I'd give you four thumbs up\"! It literally took about 5 minutes from ordering to eating. I can't wait to go back.",
"This is a great new addition to the WC restaurant scene. The Jerk Pork platter and beef patty were rich, moist, and flavorful with just the right amount of spices. Seating is limited as most people take food to go but wait staff was friendly. Definitely will be back again.",
"Decided to eat in West Chester before heading back to Philly to avoid the traffic. As usual, I looked for a locally owned restaurant. \n\nEnjoying my meal of Jerk Chicken, steamed cabbage and rice and peas. The meal was served quickly and I ate in. The place is very clean - simple and casual decor. Of course, there was wonderful reggae music playing in the background. Father and son owned and operated, they have been open since October 2017, and are developing a catering menu. \n\nThe chicken was tender and flavorful with jerk spices - spicy but not overly so. The cabbage and rice and peas were a perfect accompaniment. All the food is prepared fresh each day. The portions were generous and the prices low. \n\nIf I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely stop in. Please stop, if you're in the area. Give your tastebuds and your pocketbook a treat."

"Dickman's is awesome...\n\nHere's the scoop,\n\nThe shop is owned by a mid-western Wisconsin family that relocated to our desert oasis is search of no more snow. \n\nThey specialize in brats (no kidding!!) and the selection of meats is outstanding!!\n\n411 for the faint of heart....\n\nIf you have a sensitive nose this is a place where you send someone else to do your shopping as it has a TRUE mid-west butcher shop smell....aka...nasty.\n\nTrust me though, it's worth it and the staff has more knowledge of cuts than that of Morton's. \n\n5 Stars! I'm impressed Tucson.",
"Great meats, fresh roast beef, yummy sandwiches and very good brats. Patrick is right there is the odor of meat but that is what you want when you go to a butcher shop.",
"For a butcher shop to go, this is the one. The prices are more then the local grocery store, but the taste is WAY better. Great friendly staff and great meat. What more do you want?",
"Fantastic store! It is a treat having such a great butcher close to home (East side). Try the \"ugly steaks\" !! Not much to look at, but tender & delicious.",
"Best deli sandwiches, steaks, chicken salad, etc that Tucson can offer",
"Dickman's does have an interesting smell, but I thought it was supposed to smell like that... Now that I think about it the deli at the grocery store never smells like that.\n\nNevertheless, the meat selection is great and the cuts are top quality. For a fresh cut of fillet or sirloin you cant go wrong. Heck even lower quality cuts get great attention from DAVE, just try tossing some of his famous UGLY Steaks on the BBQ!",
"This place offers a great sandwich, carefully assembled with high quality materials, including Boar's Head deli meats, and for a good price. I like to get their lunch specials which include a large sandwich and a side salad (eg., pasta salad, cucumber salad, potato salad, etc) for only $5. Can't be beat! Yeah, there is sometimes a strong smell from all the meats for sale, but it is not anything to worry about. I wouldn't want to eat inside, but it doesn't seem to bother the old guys.",
"Their \"Ugly Steak\" is probably the best piece of meat you can get in Tucson. A beautifully marbled cut, butterflied open and tenderized with papaya, and it just can't be beat. Grab one of these and a twice baked potato for a meal that can't be beat. Want to venture further? It's a full service butcher! Try some of their homemade brats, like green chili or jalapeño cheddar. Great food is topped off by a staff that knows what they're doing and can answer any question you have. Well worth driving out of my way for.",
"Just discovered Dickman's for the first time (Oracle & Orange Grove location). We purchased the ugly steaks as well as a few of the deli salads. The steaks were delicious! Very tender with good flavor, especially considering I usually like to marinate my steaks before cooking but didn't have time this time around. We were very impressed with the selection of meats available there outside of the typical cuts. The counter help was awesome! And in response to complaints of bad smells, all I can say is SERIOUSLY? I have a fairly sensitive nose and didn't detect anything worse than what you normally encounter at a grocery meat counter. I would have given them five stars except that we have only tried them once. If they continue to impress I'll change to five.",
"Great selection and fantastic quality. \nOnly complaint is they are too far from where I live, but its worth the drive for me. \nCheck in often as they make a limited amount of their own beef jerky and it is amazing. \nIf you ever are in the mood for a quick lunch, their butcher counter is also a deli counter, and they will make you a fresh BoarsHead sandwhich. Try the pastrami or the \"Ugly Steak\" you won't be disappointed."

"As always, the food was excellent. The service was good. The only issue was that my daughter asked for fries, but the waitress brought rice. The mistake was rectified immediately. It was extremely loud, but otherwise it was goo.",
"Went to Logan's near the Opry last night..what an awesome meal with top notch service & great management...will definitely be back!!!",
"Four Stars for Logans? Yes. I wish there was a way to choose 4.5 stars.\n\n1) This place is clean which is really cool\n2) The place is small with lots of servers running around and great service\n3) I was on a tiny budget was able to pull off a meal\n\nI can't help but brag on the place for being clean, having great service, and having an affordable way to grab a lil' bite. I ordered the wings (mild and cajun) and they had great flavor but were on the small side. No worries, I was on a small budget. \n\nNext time I go, I will order some real food and update the review. But, heck, with cleanliness and good service...this place is step ahead.",
"As with most Logan's the place is poorly managed. We were told 20 min wait and after a hour I asked where we were in line and was told we were next. After 3 more groups of people were sat we got a table. The food was good our server was above average. Too bad the lack of management gets passed on to the servers who are having to serve people that are not overly happy.",
"Service was great the lobster tail was on the small side but tasted great, steak was tender and juicy, good for the price. The crowd was a good mix and we were able to carry on a conversation with ease.",
"Decent food, horrible service. Waitress had 3 tables, forgot simple requests, and even thanked us for not complaining to the manager. No wait at 730 on a Saturday so that's a plus, and the place was clean. The service was a huge detractor, wouldn't return.",
"Not sure how this place can get over two stars. Been there twice now and the food was mediocre at best. Last night food was cold when delivered and had to send back. Young, unenthusiastic servers....I'll go somewhere else next time I'm in town. It is clean inside, I will give it that (maybe because it's fairly new?).",
"Good service sitting at a high top by the bar. The steak was prepared perfect. The fries were okay. The happy hour margaritas were good. This is much better than the steak place right down the street.",
"Took family here for dinner and got the worst service possible. First Our waitress was sitting with the table behind us taking! So we had to wait about 10 to get our drink order. Then our food was cold while we had empty drinks the whole time and she checked on us maybe 2 times the whole time! She was to busy taking to the table behind us! wow never going back there!",
"In town for the NIRSA convention, heard ok things about the place. Atmosphere is nice (very southern) and the server was funny and quick. Was lookin for some of the famous Nashville BBQ and it was...ok..\nHad ribs (not bad, w/ ok BBQ sauce) with Mac & Cheese (fake cheese, maybe microwaved..) with rice and beans (pretty good..)\n Lookin for good BBQ, not sure if its here.."

"I ordered two 12-piece chicken dinners. One extra crispy and one original fried chicken. My six sides were: 2 Cole Slaw; 2 Mashed Potatoes and Gravy; 2 Macaroni and Cheese. The two orders combined included 12 biscuits.\n\nWhen I got home, there was no Cole Slaw whatsoever. The extra crispy chicken looked very bad, nothing like it should have, but medicore edible. The original fried chicken bucket was a disaster. Over cooked, actually looked like yesterdays chicken refried. The meat was very dark, dry, the meat split and gross. The biscuits were like hockey pucks and non edible. The Mac and Cheese looked like it had been scraped from the bottom of a bucket and was a neon orange glumpy gacky gumpus of glue paste cheese, and over bloated macaroni noodles.. unedible.\n\nI called and talked to a counter person who answered the phone.. he actually remembered they forgot the cole slaw. He didn't have the authority to handle the chicken problem and the Mac and Cheese and Biscuit problem.\n\nSo, Cody Berman, the \"General Manager\" got on the phone.. YELLED at me, was abusive to me. Said I had to drive the 40 minutes each way and he had to inspect the chicken and other products. When I told him I was in a wheelchair and I had goine to KFC to serve 20 children and they were due to arrive in 20 minutes.. and time and my mobility didn't allow for me to drop what I was doing and bring it back immediately.\n\nHe went insane on me, made crude remarks about my problems (handicapped and living too far away, and guests due in minutes) weren't his problem, they were mine.. and he was a miserable monster. \n\nI had to yell over him.. and tell him I was going to report him to corporate offices, and I would make sure his \"quality\" product would hit the internet..",
"Just 1 star because they had chicken a couple times, but didn't have any chicken (only sliders) on my last, very last, visit. Say what!? Yup, a chicken place with no chicken and actually out of mash potatoes too. I believe the food went to the people there (notice I didn't say working). Lets just say they must have run out of Doritos and needed something else to suppress their appetite. Never again to this location.",
"this place sucks theyres potatoes in my butt now thanks kfc oh gawd im drunk again",
"This is my favorite KFC. Food is always hot and yummy. One thing I find very odd is how my receipt shows one amount and that it was paid in cash, but in reality I debited it and when it hit my account, the amount was about 50 cents more. This bugs me because this happened at another KFC also and I called about it. So if this happens often to other customers, imagine how much that would add up to. I wonder what's going on here.",
"Screw you KFC. You charge a service fee for using a debit card yet you don't let your customers know! Seriously, a big company like you and you have to charge me a service fee? Plus, I CALLED the number on the receipt about the discrepancy between the quoted amount and the actual debited amount, but the KFC owner did NOT return my call! It's pretty obvious you don't give a rip about customer service. And that you are a tightwad.",
"This place is always known for having good chicken at a good price sometimes things go little roughly but in the end they smooth it out.",
"No customer service, no receipt, our orders were messed up. My chicken was old and stale, not fresh and hardly even warm. Mashed potatoes taste like they buy dry mix from the 99 cent store.",
"I ordered a bucket of chicken, original all dark.What I got was about six pieces dark.And the rest were white extra crispy. 12 piece bucket. The corn was dry and tasted like it had been sitting out all day.I will never go back to KFC.Called and asked for the Mgr. And found out Marcellis is not the Mgr of this store.He was flippant. I'm recommending to my friends not eat at KFC.Unless you want your order wrong and the food substandard.",
"Id like to give this a NO STAR rating. We have enjoyed KFC for years. The food has generally been very good. This trip to KFC was a different location than our usual. The experience was also very different. The chicken; regular, all white, 8 piece was unedible. My husband ate 1/2 piece and I ate 1 bite. The breading was soft, the chicken had a green tint. We looked through the chicken and could not really identify what the pieces were. There was some pretty gross stuff under the breading and it was all green-looking. The potatoes and gravy were awful, biscuits hard, corn cold and old-looking. All of it went into the trash. I communicated this experience to KFC on line. I have heard nothing back. I do hope this is addressed by the company.",
"I love the Chicken bowls!! Buuuuut the fountain drinks always taste watered down and nasty no matter what flavor i choose, other than that its ok."

"I went here on a very rigid search for some German meat and other goods that would survive a trans-continental and trans-oceanic voyage in a cardboard box. After a harrowing drive (get a friend to help navigate), we arrived and I was astonished at the sheer volume of meat behind the counter. I was not too surprised, however, because they list everything on their website complete with pictures and descriptions.\n\nThe counter staff was quick, I perused the rest of the place and finally picked up some sweets from their extensive selection of packaged food goods. Prices were reasonable (I paid about $10 for a couple pounds of meat, Ritter chocolate, salty candy and a drink). They also had deli meats and cheese, as well as their own spaetzle and other side dishes. I look forward to coming back here to stock up on more German goods.",
"Being the absolute food slut that I am, I love this place. Rieker's is like the Victoria Secret of meat! I swoon every time I step in. \n\nI get lost gazing into the glass cases at all the home made sausages and daily prepared meals. One gem that you wouldn't expect is the veal and/or chicken parm. My paisan friends, hold off on scraping your hand across your chin at me and try it! \n\nThey also offer a lot of favored dry goods that folks like my grandmother would request over the years. But lest we forget it is all about the meat!\n\nWhile there, pick up a half pound of Landjaegers and you'll be in meat stick heaven...so long slim-jim, step into a Landjeager!",
"This place rocks. They sell all the best treats from Deutschland: authentic German pretzels, pumpkin seed oil, Zwieback, chocolates, Maggi cucumber salad seasoning, spicy mustard, a few cheeses, sausages, triple-smoked bacon, and even Lebkuechen and Stollen around the holidays. It's a short walk from the Fox Chase rail station, so it's doable even for those living the car-free life.",
"Awesome, just like being back in Germany. \n\nThe smoked whip cured and dried sausage was a dead ringer for waldwurst. \n\nExpensive, but worth it for the quality.",
"This unassuming German butcher shop is the REAL DEAL! They have high-quality meats for reasonable prices, and an impressive selection of European dry goods. I have sampled many of their soups, and they remind me of things my grandma used to make, simmering away in her kitchen for hours.\n\nThe staff is all very friendly, obviously a family-run place that has been in the neighborhood for years. I love when the older lady (grandma, maybe?) is working at the meat counter in the back. If I ask too many questions about what is in a marinade or stuffed into a chicken, she eventually just tells me in a heavy accent \"Is good - you will like.\"",
"Love this place. Great bratwurst, beerwurst and knockwurst. I ordered my Thanksgiving turkey from them and it was delicious. Great staff and awesome German delights.",
"Rieker's is Fox Chase's hidden gem. This is definitely a 5 star establishment. It takes you back to the old times when you would get excellent quality food & service. Once you try it, you are hooked. They have the best meats around and will prepare it for you. Try it, you'll love it !",
"Yes, it's all true. House made sausages, friendly service and good value for the price. You can make life long friends if you buy a prime rib here and share it with your friends.... it's awesome. \nYou can also buy authentic German delicacies here which is a wonderful way to get the real taste of Europe.",
"What great fresh meats!! I got my Thanksgiving turkey here last year, it was fresh and so so so tasty! Their brats and wursts are to die for. They have German specialties, topped with great customer service.",
"Try this place all soups are homemade, And the meats are cut to your orders."

"Fried green tomatoes and barbeque chicken over cornbread dishes, well that's southern to the soul. Lunch from Harding House at Belle Meade Plantation is a Nashville experience well paired with a visit to the historic carriage house and a stroll through the magnolias. The provincial fruit tea is a treat to the tongue. Also traditional is the banana pudding and sweet potato fries. Chef Tabor Luckey and co-owner Nathaniel Beaver use locally sourced ingredients including some grown on the plantation grounds as much as possible.",
"My husband and I went there for lunch and the food we ordered had no flavor. I ordered the gumbo with jalepeno cornbread and he ordered the reuben. The gumbo wasn't edible even after adding salt and hot sauce; the cornbread was actually a pancake with no hints of jalepeno--again, no flavor. The reuben was made with cooked cabbage rather than traditional sauercraut; again, no flavor. To give them credit, though, the thin fries served with the sandwich were good. To add insult to injury, our server noticed I didn't eat my lunch; but rather than asking if it were satisfactory (or unsatisfactory as the case was), I was asked, \"Are you through with that?\" Had hoped this would be a good Nashville-type place to take out-of-town company for lunch or brunch, but we will never go back again nor recommend it to anyone.",
"The food is excellent and ambiance is as well. It's a great place to go if you want conversation over lunch - not too noisy. The menu is varied, service is excellent. Each time I've been there, the food has been delicious.",
"3 and half stars for a family friendly brunch with sat mimosa specials. enjoyed the omelette, sausage, spinach, cheese.. and subbed a pancake in for the home fries. Scoutmob saved me $10. 4 stars with the scout mob.\n\nI think this place is an excellent family place for people in the bellemeade area. Food is decent. Prices, well if you live in the area, then it probably doesn't matter. But who doesn't like a drink special? $3 mimosa, and $15 for a carafe? \n\nGuess what is next door as well? The Belle Meade plantation.",
"I LOVE the Harding House. I had the Belle Meade sandwich (hot pimento cheese with fried green tomatoes on grilled ciabatta bread) with spicy herb grits. The service was awesome - friendly staff, short wait-times, and ambiance was great. I recommend making a reservation because it's not a huge facility and it stays very busy. I'll definitely be back.",
"Great atmosphere, and a nice way to end a trip to Belle Meade Plantation. I treated my grandparents for my grandma's 85th birthday. They had the bbq pork sandwich and really enjoyed it. I had the soup and salad. The soup - smoked tomato corn chowder was AMAZING!!! I chose the wedge salad, and it was just ok. (I LOVE a good wedge!!) The dressing was very runny, with not much blue cheese and it was warm. The rest of the salad was pretty good and a great concept for the wedge (caramelized onions and bacon).\n\nOur service was ok, but our server had a huge group that she was also waiting on.\n\nAll in all, I'd say check it out!!!",
"Visited with friends while in Nashville. Go for the Belle Meade sandwich. Tasty! Visit the gift shop downstairs as well!",
"Beautiful location. Part of the belle Meade plantation. Great chocolate peanut butter pie.",
"For Brunch this place is hard to beat. Not a huge menu but what they have is great. \n\nI have yet to try much of their actual breakfast food since I mostly have stuck to their sandwiches (turkey with brie is always a good choice). However, their eggs Benedict is fantastic and that alone would bring me back.\n\nThey also have cheese and herbed grits as a side and boy is it worth it. I would almost just get this alone for breakfast if I didn't enjoy the rest of their offerings so much.\n\nCome out for brunch and you won't be disappointed, though be wary of bringing a large party. The place really isn't conducive big groups.",
"A decent brunch on the grounds of the Belle Meade Plantation. Nothing exactly stood out, but I suppose the french press coffee was pretty good.\n\nI don't suppose I expected anything to leap out at me, but I don't really think it would bring me back. We stopped in for lunch with the intention of stopping in over at the Winery at Belle Meade, little did we know you need a grounds pass or a tour pass for that. I won't go into that in this review though since it doesn't really speak to any poor experiences here at Harding House.\n\nThere is plenty of parking, and the staff was very friendly. Maybe a little pricey, but considering where its located that's no surprise."

"when domino diner burned down four years ago it felt like a family member died. now, at long last, daiva and the crew are back! all i can say is thank god. just had breakfast there this morning and it was excellent. will post another review after trying dinner there. THANK GOD SHE'S BACK!!!",
"My husband and I wanted to try something new. We had heard good things about Daiva's previous diner establishment. The diner was very clean and newly remodeled. It has parking in the back, which was convenient. I wasn't a huge fan of the super bright fluorescent lights that were in every light fixture. Anyways, the food is what's important. I ordered the ultima stuffed french toast. It was definitely ultimate. 3 huge slices, with bananas, strawberries, walnuts, sweet cream, and whipped cream. It was too sweet too eat the entire thing, and I only ate one slice. It was good, but I would've preferred it to be less sweet. My husband ordered eggs overeasy, toast, a bagel, and home fries (carbtastic, I know). Eggs were done perfectly which is something he often complains they are over cooked. The only thing missing was some flavor in the home fries. They were pretty bland. Service was good. Oh, the coffee was very good. We would definitely come back, but try a different meal next time.",
"Man did Roxborough seriously need a diner. Technically we already have 3, but Main Street sucks (even with booze to sell), Taylor's might as well not exist, and Bob's is way past it's prime plus I've had too many skeevey experiences there to ever go back. Daiva's (pronounced like the \"diva\" in Godiva Chocolate, or so a waitress says...) fills a major void in my hangover remedy repertoire, and they may even be byob to boot (Lady Davia's old spot was an unofficial byob diner, so maybe if they aren't officially one, they still might look the other way). \n\nDaiva's is an average sized diner with good food for an reasonable price, but it scores extra points for bringing back something to this neighborhood that has been lacking for many years. As other's have said, the owner came from the Domino (and it looks like a lot of the wait staff did too), so let's hope this new spot can enjoy the longevity and success the old one did (during the Vlahos years, that is), and that it can avoid a fire like the one that did the Dom in, coincidentally striking after business went downhill. \n\nFilled with many window booths (likely holdovers from the location's Pizza Hut days) and even more tables, but with extra visibility inside because the old school window tint has finally been removed, the place and staff shine with that new penny luster that makes you feel safe eating here, a feeling lacking in the other borough diners. I'm all about eating my food a climate controlled environment with the added UV protection of a roof and walls, but, for you sun worshipers, there is also a fenced in patio with limited seating so that you can enjoy all the splendors of Ridge Avenue.\n\nI still thoroughly miss Pizza Hut, though technically speaking I am much more happy with the food available at Daiva's, but at least I will always have my memories (talkin' 'bout you, Pocahontas impersonating Hut waitress).",
"This diner is clean and the food is good. You can't go wrong with eggs, bacon, and home fries. Their crab cakes are excellent as is the Roasted Scallop Salad (which has disappeared from the menu but I am hoping for it to make a comeback).\n\nSome changes they need to make include putting the crab cake sandwich on a better roll, not overcooking the tasty calamari, and bringing back that awesome balsamic vinaigrette. Also, they need to be sure they have a variety of pies on hand at all times...not cakes...pies...as every diner should.",
"Someone told me that Daiva's food was delicious and that I should check it out. I tried it for dinner and the food was good but I don't think it met the hype that I was expecting. The food was good that is true but I think that it was overpriced for just average diner food and the service was very slow. Our server was friendly and got our order right but it took a very long time to get glasses of water and our bill. However, the food came out within only ten minutes of ordering so the kitchen is fast! \n\nI ordered a chicken cheese steak and french fries. I was charged and extra $1.00 for american cheese on the steak. Strange because if I didn't ask for cheese I would have just got chicken in a roll. It was also $1.75 for fries instead of chips. I recommend the french fries because they were great! My boyfriend got a buffalo chicken wrap and it was very good. \n\nIf you are in the mood for typical diner food this is your spot.",
"A very nice, clean diner with good food. The decor is up to date and everything is clean, which is sometimes hard to find in a diner. The food is nothing fancy, but it's good and the prices are good. The staff was attentive and nice, despite a huge crowd in the place. I wasn't a fan of the previous establishment in this location, but I'll go back to Daiva's again.",
"Breakfast Burrito is very good. I hardly ever like the homefries served at diners but i must say I enjoyed themhere. Also try the amazing french toast. Its a behemoth of flavors. The portions are ample. I would definitely go back to Daivas.",
"I've been there twice in the past month while visiting the area. It's hard to find a clean eat-in diner that is clean and the family feels comfortable in. Daiva's fits in real nice. The food is very good and has that home made touch (exception-fish and chips, the fish were like frozen battered from the grocery store) with new items on the menu. The staff were all very friendly and prices very affordable. Parking is easy in the back, which is a nice plus on Ridge Ave. If I ever get back to Philly I will most definitely revisit Daiva's.",
"Great food, fast service, and our waitress was a sweetheart. A great new diner in the Manayunk area.",
"Excellent breakfast with great prices and good service! Must try the Belgian Waffles with strawberries and whip cream. The french toast is amazing too! Food is WAY BETTER THAN LeBus and it cost half the price. Oh and Breakfast is served all day! I can not wait to go back and try some of the dishes on their dinner menu. This is not your average diner! The food is fresh and leans toward being more upscale. I highly suggest you try Daiva's. The food is incredible and prices are even better. Oh and it beats dealing with the nonsense on Main St."

"So I just moved to town yesterday and I saw the sign for Sake 2 Me Grand Opening. What a great experience. Staff was very friendly and the food was great. I will definitely be back. I had the golbi and it was great.",
"I love this place. The bartenders (who have been here through 3 names changes and as many changes of ownership) are awesome, friendly, and knowledgeable. The Ramen is awesome, I recommend the shoyu and the miso. The sushi is also super good, I've had the double salmon, and the Alaskan. The salmon is Hella awesome! if you're looking for a fun sports bar that also has bomb ass food, throw on a t-shirt, come get drunk and eat sushi. Because that's obviously what you want to do.",
"Once upon a time, I drove 240 miles round trip from Maryland to a little sushi bar in Charlottesville for delicious tonkatsu. And sushi. And ramen. And quite possibly some green tea mochi.\n\nIf that doesn't mean love, then I don't know what does.\n\nBut, this time, I've truly outdone myself.\n\nEighteen hundred miles round trip by plane. Plus four and a half hours of driving to the airport. For less than twenty four hours of nomaliciousness.\n\nBecause this place is fucking amazing.\n\nYou can still get nomalicious rolls. I tried the Triple Amigo (spicy tuna with cucumber layered with more tuna, salmon, izumidai, eel and spicy mayo sauce). I also savored a bowl of delicious tonkatsu ramen that was even better than anything I ever had back in that little sushi bar in Charlottesville.\n\nAdd an outdoor bar, a pool table, delicious local craft brews, and a delightful sweetie named Brittney who recommended that Triple Amigo Roll to me...and this place is a winner.\n\nAlso, Steve is the shit. And you stole him from us, Tampa...which means only one thing: war. Yes, WAR. And remember, all is fair in love...and war.\n\nBwahahahahahaha.",
"I went there on opening night and ate some spicy tacos that were excellent, Plenty of TV's and a nice location(lots of parking) and the staff was very personable.",
"Great sports bar atmosphere with lots of draft beer and full bar. Lots of Tv's to watch games and great sushi! I highly recommended this place! We will be back for sure!! Great service as well!",
"Owner is hilarious, and accommodating. I had a great visit here, and look forward to my next one!",
"I was so excited to try this but a sports bar sushi place just doesn't make it to us. Everyone was extremely pleasant! However, the sushi was not very good. The rice not sticky enough to keep roll together. I eat sushi a lot and I could barely use my chopsticks for it. Maybe have a real sushi chef come in and train the persons doing the sushi!? Our friends got something from the kitchen that was good! Overall, I think very over priced. We had great company but when the musician started to play, we couldn't carry on a conversation. I agree it's a bar but on a Sunday evening maybe wait for live music at 8pm? I'm sorry but I don't think we'll return even though service was great and people very nice.",
"This is an interesting place. It's like a sports bar that serves a very limited Japanese menu. There is no Nigiri or Sashimi. Very limited selection of rolls. But in this case that's a good thing. Great drink specials clean restrooms overall great atmosphere. Really good. But if you're expecting lots of choices you'll be very disappointed. Our server Adam was attentive and eager to please- good guy.",
"Used to be the lazy brew and only been there a couple of times and I wasn't thrilled about the food..it was OK but NOW...food is unreal...Spicy pork absolutely unbelievable...and their wings are awesome and I think are better then coppertop...I officially found a place to watch football every sunday!! Owner is cool and they definitely make sure you are happy with your experience A+",
"Sushi tasted weird.. galbi was good, but too many raw onions. The plate was sizzling, and some onions were cooked but most were not. The galbi was $19 and came with a ginger salad and miso soup. The miso soup was good. It had scallions in it. The ginger salad was inedible. Tasted like a dirty sock smelled. The sashimi salad appetizer was good but it was basic.. the staff was great this is just a review of those particular food items"

"It's not summer and you're not in South Philly. Where else do you find beefsticks (Cambodian) and papaya salad? Enter Khmer Grill. If you've never had a beefstick from FDR Park, let me break it down: you get thinly sliced (but not too thin) beef on a skewer, marinated with secret stuff (soy, sugar, turmeric, galangal, lemongrass, etc. who knows), sprinkled with some crack, and grilled over charcoal. A lot of FDR regulars are going to knock on the price, but seriously, there's rent to pay and it's January. Cut Khmer Grill some slack and buy some of their delicious food - you won't be disappointed.",
"chomreabsuor anak real knea. Hey everyone I will say this is like one of the best place I have ever tried since I normally have to drive down to FDR park or Khmer town to buy Cambodia food. Their sausage is so good and the beef sticks too. For real all their food is delicious even the chicken heart, chicken wings and even more. Also, every time I come here to order my food it's always hot and ready to service you. Their costumer service is so on point and they are so nice. I'll definitely go back for more delicious food!",
"I have never had Cambodian food before, but the skewers here were delicious! I had the platter with chicken hearts, beef, and sausage. I love chicken hearts and these were seasoned and cooked well. The sausage she said was homemade and it was so good! Beef was slightly overcooked for my liking (I'm like rare to medium rare steak kind of person) but still yummy. The platter comes with rice and salad. Put some fish sauce on top of all that and YUMMM! Really tasty casual take out spot in the new Chinatown Square food court.",
"The food is solid! I am such a big fan of Khmer chicken and beef sticks and have been craving since summer has ended. The chicken stick was actually A LOT better than ones you would normally get at FDR, there were a lot more sauce and so flavorful. The seasoning was so good! \n\nFor $3.5 you get two chicken wings ($1.75 each) and $4 for two beef skewers. It makes no sense for anyone to compare these prices to FDR prices...obviously the owners have rent and utilities to pay. You're paying .75 cents to $1 extra for better service, cleanliness (hey you're not buying food at a park), and convenience of it being in Chinatown! I thought the prices were reasonable and it's a must try. Will definitely be back for their papaya salads and chicken heart skewers :)",
"Great service, great food from a place with a lot of choices. If you want to taste something different in the Chinatown area, I recommend this place. PLENTY OF FLAVORS. Try the beef kabobs with pickles cabbages,carrots cucumbers.",
"Cambodian street food on a stick! Can't get better than that :) We got both the large and small platters where you can choose from 3-4 meat options and it comes with jasmine white rice and a small bowl of pickled veg. We also ordered the papaya salad, spicy. Everything was really good and the flavors were on point! I'm excited there's more Khmer food options in Philly! Must come here!",
"Cambodian street food in Philly!! We ordered the large combo which comes with 4 meat sticks, rice, and cole slaw. We got the chicken wing, sausage, chicken hearts, and beef. Tasty!! The staff are also really friendly.\n\nDefinitely worth stopping by for a snack when in Chinatown.",
"Do you like Cambodian sausages like I do? If so, you have a go-to place in the new Chinatown Square complex to hit up. At Khmer Grill the service is friendly and the Cambodian sausages are sizzling. Priced 2 for $3.99, they are an affordable tasty snack or lunch in Center City!",
"I am Khmer and used to frequent FDR and Mifflin Square Park whenever I was in the mood for papaya salad and chicken/beef on sticks during the warmer months. I can honestly say that this place is legit. It's even better than the park vendors. I am so happy and proud of Khmer Grill for doing their thing and helping to put Cambodian food on the map in Philly. Now I can enjoy this food all year round. Prices are also very reasonable. Support! :)",
"Checking out the new Chinatown square. Gotta try this place here. Food is solid but the price is a little high. $4 for two skewers. I guess if you don't want to wait for summer or drive down to the park."

"Wow! What a great find in downtown Nashville. I happened upon this place by accident, and I'm glad I did! The District has a fabulous bartending staff! They are attentive and friendly, but most importantly they make BALLER drinks. The District had a great wine selection and when I was there, I heard some awesome musicians. Anyway, I think I spent like $65 or something on 4 or 5 drinks and an app. It wasn't bad, and I thought it was worth the price.",
"First of all, love this hotel. Stay here when in town if you can. \n\nHad breakfast here on two occasions. Had buckwheat pancakes the first time. I think they might have brought just buttermilk pancakes, but they were good nonetheless. The second time I had the steel cut oatmeal. Fantastic. Loved the berries that came with it. All around quality at a great price. I'd love to try dinner here. The menu looks great! \n\nThere is live music at night. The restaurant itself is beautiful. A great atmosphere.",
"This review is solely for the drinks/live music.\n\nMy friend and I stayed in this hotel thinking it was a good deal out of all the other downtown locations. We figured we would walk someplace to experience Nashville and get our live music fix.\n\nAfter a long day of driving through Kentucky, stopping to visit friends, caves, and dinner along the way, we were tired. The rainy evening wasn't enticing us out onto the streets either, so we figured we would just go down stairs instead.\n\nAnd I'm glad we did.\n\nWe sat at a booth in the back and enjoyed drinks and the live music. It was quiet and low-key - the prefect end to a long evening. \n\nOur waiter was great, and the bartenders did a fantastic job with the drinks. The feel of this place is relaxed and yet upscale at the same time. I felt very comfortable there and I'm not typically a go-out-on-the-town kind of girl, so it was good for me. And I didn't have to worry about walking back to the hotel late at night after a few drinks from some other place further away.\n\nI would definitely come back!",
"Great place to come and enjoy drinks and music. Drinks were great and the music as good as well.",
"It was pretty empty when I arrived so I had some reservations. However, the waiter/bartender was very prompt and attentive. I ordered the ribeye and it was good. I wouldn't say it was the best I ever tasted but it was cooked to the appropriate temperature and had a good flavor. I ordered the calamari appetizer and it was very good. \n\nThe singer was Mandy Cook and she was fantastic. I had to order both albums off Itunes after leaving. \n\nMy experience was positive so I'll probably try the hotel next time I come to Nashville.",
"Food was barely ok and the service was even less. Literally sat in the bar for a good 15 minutes before the order was taken. If you want people to stay in the hotel instead of going out to explore and see the huge range of option in Nashville, then you have to try and serve them (and that means having enough folks working to do that). Cute spot with a lot of potential, but just not being utilized like it needs to be...",
"5stars may be a lot for room service, but the experience far exceeded my expectations. I'm staying in the Indigo and decided to room service from the District in order to watch the Dem debate in my room. Service was great - friendly and helpful on the phone and my food arrived in 20 minutes from the call. I ordered the artisanal berry salad which was huge and full of fresh raspberries and blueberries, crumbled blue cheese and handfuls of toasted, sweetened pecans over very fresh mixed greens with a raspberry vinaigrette. This salad rocked! \n\nI ordered the nachos that had a fresh tasting chili, white queso and lots of fresh veg - lettuce tomato and fresh jalapeños with a little shredded cheese sprinkled over. It was good but I only had about half after the amazing salad. \n\nLastly, I couldn't resist ordering the cast iron cookie. This was a warm chocolate chunk cookie in a tiny cast iron pan paired with a bowl of vanilla ice cream (good stuff) and fresh strawberries and whipped cream. Wow! What an unexpectedly wonderful meal. It was so good I ate too much which is my only complaint.",
"I went because I heard their burgers were awesome, but it was too expensive for lunch. the friendly bartender suggested the chicken quesadilla when I said I wasn't going to order the burger. I am not sorry I tried it! the quesadilla is full of fresh ingredients and lots of chicken. I had to take part of it back to the office! I liked the atmosphere, it was really open and I could see it being a nice place to host an event. I will return, it just isn't tops on my list.",
"It was mostly empty when I arrived. Regardless, I had to sit at the bar to get service. The food was subpar, but the live music was excellent and the crowd was friendly.",
"Stayed at the hotel. Inside the hotel, there was a restaurant called District. I didn't eat the food other than breakfast for the a conference. Can't go wrong with breakfast. If you do, the restaurant should not be opened.\n\nThey had live band playing almost every night. Pretty talented folks. But while the music was loud, there was football games coming on as well. \n\nThe service was less than a service. I literally sat at the bar watching the game when the bartender came to me after 5-10 minutes later to take my order. If the bartender was taking orders for drinks, I'm ok with that. He was doing something. Nope. He was busy talking. He kept talking so more. And then he talked so more. \n\nThe ambience was nice. It's more of a romantic setting, but it was also a hangout with large group atmosphere. It wasn't too dark but had enough lighting.\n\nRating:\nFood: N/A\nService: 1 (Anything more than 5 minutes is not service.)\nAmbience: 4\nPrice: 3 (It's expensive)\nOverall: 3\n\nWouldn't come. There are others places in downtown that's worth walking to than staying in the hotel."

"I really enjoyed the Marathon Grill. My friend Pierre took me here on my visit to Philly and we had some sort of food...maybe fish washed down with the strongest Long Island Ice Tea ever that also did the job of erasing my memories for the remainder of the night. Great selection of beers, they have yuengling and from 10-2 it's only $2. Marbar (so the bar is called) has drink specials 24/7. The outdoor patio is great except the weather usually isn't. But the big windows and modern interior allows you to enjoy the comforts of A/C and a great sound system. I really wish they had a place like this in Boston...",
"I have been ordering from Marathon grill for years, mostly for delivery. Being health conscious, I rely on Marathon for providing no-nonsense, reliable salads and sandwiches. They are also good for a hangover meal of fries and a burger. I was so excited to see that their menu had changed to include some more eclectic items and new twists on old stand-bys'. However, it failed to deliver. The food tends to be on the bland side, no matter what you order. Even my grilled chicken sandwich with eggplant, mozzarella, tomato sauce and basil was missing something. My favorite feature of the menu is the \"control freak\" salad which consists of an extensive selection of greens, salad toppers, and dressings. Basically, you create your own salad which appeals to the control freak in me. The menu is fun and the food here is OK. I'll just stick to my salads.",
"Marathon Grill has some great locations, a great look and a better-looking menu.\n\nHowever, this is one of those places where everything sounds good, but nothing is amazing. Their soups are bland, I'm always disappointed with the normalcy of the sandwiches and in general I always leave here telling myself not to come back.\n\nI suggest a different place for lunch. This is a good place to look for attractive diners and staff, however.",
"There are quite a few Marathon Grills around Philly. It's a locally owned smallish chain. You definitely feel like you're eating at a chain restaurant, and in particular one that doesn't want to keep you around very long. There food is not awful and there are some healthier options, but many of the locations have a cafeteria-like ambiance which is very unwelcoming. \n\nIt also tends to be bootcamp for servers-- they hire lots of inexperienced kids and pile tables on them which leads to very unhappy patrons and frazzled waitstaff scrambling to bring out meals. Some of the locations have liquor licenses and I think they attempt to make those places a little more comfortable. But the ultramodern furniture and the food-production in plain view with a cash register and line sort of battles any level of comfort.",
"I agree with Caitlin...everything on the menu always sounds better than it is. Like the \"Hand---cut roast Turkey sandwich with, smoked bacon + basil pesto + caramelized onion + gruyere on sourdough.\" It is a glorified Turkey Club.\n\nDo not let yourself fall victim to the descriptive, mind altering words. Realize that what you are getting is just average and do not expect more or you will be let down.",
"I don't hate the Marathon Grill nearly as much as my peers here, but I admit - I don't frequent them often.\n\nThe menu, I like... but you're always gonna expect it a few notches below the great writing used to describe it. I think much of Marathon's charm depends on the location. I like the spot @ 16th & Sansom, but wouldn't set foot on the one on 13th & Chestnut. People speak highly of the \"Mar Bar\" @ 40th Street too, especially for Thursday happy hour. \n\nI think these are a cute Philly chain, and I prefer seeing the block neon lettering than just another Ruby Tuesday's, TGIF, or other striped eyesore.",
"If you wanna eat at a restaurant that's similar to Applebee's or Ruby Tuesday's, but you're feeling a little bit on the \"classier\" side, then I highly recommend the Marathon Grill. The menu has all the classic sandwich and seafood dishes you could ever hope for, while the drink menu practically screams Sex and the City. Sounds good huh? Well, it's not. The food is bland and the drinks are weak. The server's have that \"kill me now\" look in their eye because they are either sick of hearing that same Genesis song playing on the stereo or tired of having to be the only server that does all of the work. So ask yourself this, does freezer burned salmon, mush potatoes, and boiled spinach served with 8 ounces of sugar water at a price of $25 sound appealing to you? If the answer is yes, then you found your place.",
"Of the Marathon locations this one seems the least pleasurable to sit in. It's decor is funky, the service can be spotty, and the outdoor dining isn't so swell as Chestnut street gets really congested during the day. It seems to have been designed with lunch for business customers as it's top priority. That being said, I feel the place is very consistent. It is never going to be THE BEST place for most things, but I don't think it gets enough credit. They have a large menu which is all very reasonably priced. It's standard American fare.",
"The service was forgetful at best. They forgot to ask us if we needed more drinks when the food came. I think its overpriced for what you get there. It's pretty unfortunate too, because some of the other Marathon's are really good.",
"It warms my cold, dark heart that so many other Yelpers have not-so great things to say about Marathon Grill. Yes, the menu sounds better than it actually is, and often - at least when you get delivery - they will mess up your order. I have a particular gift for really craving one particular thing - fruit salad, for example - and having that be the one thing that's never in the bag. So basically, it's overpriced and overhyped and what shows up is not what you expected. It's a lot like finding dates on match.com.\n\nThey are pretty good about bringing what they inevitably forget later - but who wants to wait another 45 minutes for your tiny thing of cantaloupe and berries? Your overpriced omelette will get cold and gelatinous in that time, and not in a good way.\n\nBtw, this applies to Marathons across the city and not just this locale. They do have healthier options, so a lot of my friends order from them pretty often even though I roll my eyes and mildly tantrum if it's suggested."

"Hey it's Hooters! If you have never heard of this place, it's a sports bar with scantily clad waitresses who are very friendly (because they are told to be). My teenage boys love the place because it's lively and friendly. And they learn a little about flirting, which is important for any teenager. The place is well lit and does not portray a bar atmosphere. If you are a religious nut, you will not like this place because you will hate that the waitresses don't swallow their anger (like repressed right wing religious nutz).\n\nThe wings are breaded and fried in a variety of types of sauce. The hot sauce is not THAT hot, but you'll regret it the next day.",
"The worst Hooters Ive ever been to. I the service was soo bad. They dont know how to make drinks and the Girls are snobs that think they are God's gift...Be advice this place sucks... And I love hooters.",
"If you're going to Hooter's for anything but the food and drink, this is the only location in Indianapolis I would visit. The girls actually take pride in their appearance, enjoy their jobs and know that better service leads to good tips.\n\nAs this location has motorcycle parking, all you can eat Wings specials and a recently expanded menu with items such as loaded tater tots, fried pickles and daytona shrimp.",
"I come here for the crab legs. Seriously!\n\n$7.99 for a pound of crab legs can't be beat. The servers are usually decent but occasionally I get some chick that is annoyed... not sure the reason just seems like this place has a fair share of servers who don't really like their jobs.\n\nThe fried pickles are a must if you have never tried them! There are usually drink specials nightly so check them out!!",
"Nice atmosphere, and friendly waitresses. My problem is with their food. Almost everything I've ever had there is terrible, except the burgers are pretty good. Their Philly is one of the worst sandwiches I've ever had! (I tried it several times) \n\nIf you are coming here to drink and hang out: 4 stars. If you are looking for food, I recommend going elsewhere.",
"Service has gotten better lately. Crab legs are no longer on special and set you back $12.99/lb which is still a great deal!!\n\nMy son loves the food and they have some half-price deals early on week nights!",
"Yeah, the waitress look good, of course. But it's a great atmosphere with great food--seriously!",
"My husband and I took my parents here for the first time, they both loved it and really enjoyed themselves. My dad didn't know what Hooters was about, he thought it was a topless venue and we took him so that he could experience the place for himself. He said he will definitely be back to eat here again. He got the ham and cheese sandwich and loved it, my mom got the boneless wings and she liked them as well as the fries. Let me just say Hooters is not a topless venue, it is a nice restaurant where you and your children can go and enjoy themselves. They have children's menus with crayons for the little ones to keep them occupied while they wait for their food. They take very good care of the kids as well as you. \n\nMy parents both have a hard time getting around so we had to wait about 15 minutes to have seating at a low seat table, but generally you can walk right in and sit down if you are not picky about where you sit. Their tables do have bar stools as chairs and are raised so be aware if you want other seating you need to tell them when you get there. They are very accommodating to your needs. \n\nWe had very good service, she kept us all happy and sometimes that isn't always easy to do lol! I highly recommend Hooters if you are looking for a fun and friendly atmosphere. We will be back, our kids ask us all the time if we can eat at Hooters and we will again.",
"Can't go wrong with the garlic naked wings. They have such a great flavor and none of the grease and breading that come with their regular wings.",
"Well, I'm not real proud of my home town Hooters. I gave them several chances at unfortunately I'm done.\n\nThe last 5 visits I've experienced a hour and 40 minute wait. I asked several times after one hour and they apologized stating they forgot us but then again never got us a seat. At 1 hour 40 minutes we walked out. This was the final strike although we had plenty of bad experiences. The big thing if like to warn you is to check your celery before eating it. I was served dirty celery 3 times with DIRT, yes DIRT on it. Apparently they don't care that business have almost closed due to illnesses caused from serving people dirt. Take away the items above and do have to say they have the best curly fries and really good wings and even boneless wings. Buffalo shrimp is good too and even there ham and cheese is pretty good."

"Bright and new! Was a Mexican restaurant. Pepsi products and decent iced tea. Owned by same team as Lion Share and The Blob. Chicken soup was good. Classic diner menu, no salad bar or buffet. Had a pasta special which was good and a decent portion. Close to West Chester University and plenty of parking. Enjoyed our first visit.",
"Was excited to have breakfast with the family at the new Rams Diner. Excitement stopped shortly after we walked through the door. Service was slow, we never actually got a \"server\", we got three, none of which were very attentive. Ordered our drinks, coffee was delivered without cream. After long wait, we ordered and waited again. Too long for some pancakes and eggs. Pancakes delivered cold and without butter. Had to request and wait for butter, which of course would not melt on the cold pancakes. I suspect they were microwaved. I could go on and on, about the hair in my eggs and the lack of napkins on the table and the burnt toast( you get the idea), but for the sake of time, just let me say, do yourselves a favor and DON'T EVEN GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY!",
"Tried this for the first time today, for lunch. I ordered a lunch special, the crab cake sandwich, which came with a cup of soup. The New England clam chowder was very tasty. The crab cake, I'm afraid, was about 70% breaded filler. Cost was reasonable, but I know I'd stay away from the crab cakes from now on. Service was a little overwhelmed with just a half-full early lunch shift. Seemed that the computer system was giving staff some problems... \"how do I enter the Chef's special prime rib?\" I'm sure it will improve with time.",
"Great location for a 24 hour diner. I had French Onion Soup and a BLT, both were excellent. Will definitely return!",
"Had dinner there last night.My wife had a gyro and was happy wth it.I had a Rueben which was also good,reasonable portions but not comparable to city diners.Serivice was shaky with the overworked busboy getting drinks for us and a waitress who greeted us with \"what do you want\" and dropped the check without asking if we wanted coffee or desert.There are a few key things I look for in a diner.The first is coffee ,didn't get to try it.The second is good soup which I had and it was a vegetable soup with a good diner tomato broth ruined with bagged chunks of uncooked frozen vegetables.You can do better than that.We will go back.",
"I really wanted to love this place. I liked it I did not love it. My family and I went after church and it was very busy. We we seated quickly and served quickly. \n\nThe first thing that struck me was the decor. It is decorated purple and gold in reverence to WCU's Golden Rams. Overall the style was Art Deco. The walls were bare. Not a single piece of WCU memorabilia. I would have liked to even seen the football schedule with wins and losses. \n\nWe ordered a patty melt, BLT, and a kids chicken fingers meal. The BLT was light on the B and heavy on the L. The other meals were alright. \n\nI will go back since the Restaraunt is new and hopefully it will improve with time.",
"I think it's good to keep this place in perspective. If you are out drinking and really need a place to get some food so you don't get the bed spins, this is a great place! However, if you are looking for fresh, quality, creative food, there are soo many other places to eat! It was clean, the service was perfectly fine, but the food was lack luster and the flatware is so cheap that I had a hard time getting the fork to penetrate the breakfast potatoes. They were pretty tasty nonetheless. Great cheap eats for the college crowd.",
"Bright and new! Was a Mexican restaurant. Pepsi products and decent iced tea. Owned by same team as Lion Share and The Blob. Chicken soup was good. Classic diner menu, no salad bar or buffet. Had a pasta special which was good and a decent portion. Close to West Chester University and plenty of parking. Enjoyed our first visit. Friendly staff.",
"Lets just say I wanted to really like this Diner. The staff could not have been nicer so they definitely have that going for them. The food was OK. The decor was a little stark and frankly not very cozy. The walls are too white and the lighting is way too bright! It made me want to leave, i felt like I was eating on the set of a sitcom. My suggestion being a decorator...paint the far end walls a nice deep purple or glaze them purple ( the color scheme is purple and yellow--get it--West Chester Univ.-- Ram Diner? ) The lighting could be dimmed with a dimmer ( pendants over tables--way too bright!) also think about changing shades on them to another color too soften the light. I think they should ( and maybe they are going to) put old and new campus photos on the walls, maybe some memorabilia too to really give the restaurant some personality. Back to the food---we had tom turkey platter....it was pretty good--turkey was a little rubbery, gravy definitely canned. Didn't like how cranberry sauce came in a disposable covered container--put it in a small dish. Someone else at our table had veal parmesan ( I would never order this at a diner) but it was on the menu--nice presentation but again meat rubbery. Another person at our table had the patty melt and it looked and was very good. It would be nice to see some fun, diner food on the men--everything was very expected. Maybe go \"old school\" with some items since the diner has that retro feel....egg creams, ice cream sodas , sundaes. Do up the burgers and fries. Maybe name them after famous folks from Campus etc. I get its a diner but it could be amped up a bit to make this place very good. One last design mention, I would put the dessrt carousel by the counter not the door--had we seen that while we were eating we might have been tempted to order a dessert but saw it after we were exiting the restaurant. Add a mile high lemon merigue pie--always a crowd pleaser!! I would really like to go back and have this diner as a go to in town since we live here.",
"We were seated quickly in a nice large booth. The place was brightly lit - I hate dark restaurants. Everything was bright and cheerful. Staff was very attentive. The fountain Pepsi tasted like pepsi, it wasn't watered down. I usually dislike fountain drinks. So it started off very nicely. I ordered the haddock and scallops. They were perfectly cooked! I really enjoyed my meal as did the rest of my family. They had burgers and wraps. I will certainly visit more often for a quick dinner with my WCU son. We also had some very tasty and large desserts - carrot cake, lemon meringue,chocolate cake, and a Boston creme pie - all excellent. Highly recommend."

"So glad they opened a legit hotpot place in philly! Kind of on the pricey side.. but that's expected w eating hotpot at a restaurant. Their lunch special definitely is worth it though. Great ambience and friendly staff! Will definitely come back!",
"A nice new place for hotspot. The really little sheep Mongolian from China and the taste of broth is authentic. However it is not spicy enough and not everyone like the taste of the the broth, which resembles Chinese medicine.",
"EXTREMELY excellent service.\n\nFood is great being to the Edison one this one had better prices and better tasting broth. The sauces here taste different than the Edison location and that's why it's a 4 star. \n\nHot pot is excellent location for food at dinner at lunch. Food taste and quality is excellent.\n\nThis location will have parking issues if utilizing a vehicle. Expect a short walk and money towards parking.",
"Highly recommended! Love this new hot pot place! The chili oil is awesome. The dining environment is super nice. Servers are friendly, and will advise you on what to order and will let you know if you ordered too much food. Their food portion is great! Over all a great place! Will definitely come back.",
"This is my new FAVORITE hot pot place! Oh my goodness. The broths were full of flavor and the portions were huge!! The service was amazing - the staff was so attentive. \n\nThere are other all-you-can-eat hotpots around but by far, Little Sheep had the best flavors and quality meats and veggies. It came out to be the same pricing as ayce. \n\nThanks Little Sheep! So glad you're in Philly now. I will come back again and again!",
"I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they opened a Little Sheep in Philly. I used to go to Little Sheep a lot back at home in SF so I'm familiar with the chain. This opening came just in time for the cold weather!\n\nI was here with a friend on a Monday evening at around 6 pm for a belated birthday celebration and we had to wait around 10 minutes for a table, not because they were busy, but because it was their soft opening (until late October I think) and perhaps they lacked staff (?). Nevertheless, we were given the menu as we were waiting so we could start checking stuff off on the list of food items. They don't have an all you can eat option (for dinner at least, unsure about lunch deals) and the prices for the meats were about $10 for a plate. The interior is very spacey and all the tables have a good amount of space between them so you won't feel crowded despite the place actually being filled with people. \n\nThe broth is very good! You get the regular milky bone marrow broth or the spicy version of that. The portions of the meats were very good. For stuff like fishballs and tofu, I think we got around 6 pieces. We also got a dessert on the house (fried mini pancake with red bean filling and sugar on the outside). \n\nThe total came out to be around $66 for two, which is slightly more than what it would cost at an all you can eat place in Chinatown, but I loveeee Little Sheep's broth. I would definitely come back if I'm ever in the area celebrating a special occasion!",
"Have never had mongolian hot pot so this was a new experience. Beautiful dining room and clean feeling. Sat right away for lunch. We got the half and half soup and pan fried dumplings on side. Very nice presentation. The spicy side is sooooooo spicy. I can eat Spicy, i am korean, but it was a bit too much for me. I emptied the peppers out and it filled an entire plate and the soup was still flavorful and spicy enough. Water and napkins were plentiful. The customer service was excellent. Nice experience for all and we left half the soup there because we were so full.",
"Best service I've ever had in a Chinese restaurant. Or best service for a restaurant only $$. The hot pot soup is very delicious also.",
"Everyone knows how much I love hot pots. I've been to several of the hot pot places in the area, Nine Ting, Hippot. I've gladly indulged in overeating at the AYCE places for the sake of eating my worth. This place is not AYCE and was packed on a Friday night. Although it was not AYCE, you could still indulge in a healthy amount of eating (not in anyway unbutton my pants night, but just a tinge bit I overate) for the same price as AYCE (maybe a little bit pricier actually).\n\nLet's start of with the price. It is ala carte and it does cost a pretty penny to eat here. It was $50 some bucks for the two of us. We ordered some of the specialty items such as shrimp paste and fish ball with roe. We also got a slice beef plate that was $9.50 for 6 slices- that was regrettable. Overall the quality of food was a lot fresher than AYCE places. This place actually recommends against saucing and we enjoyed our food without having to sauce it because the milk bone broth was so flavorful. They also offered the option of boxing your broth to take home, which we declined, but may consider during a future cold wintery night. \n\nOn another note, I'm afraid they are going to jack up their prices based on how well they do. They currently have two menus with different price points. When asked about it they mentioned that they are using the lower price point menu prices currently. If they don't jack up their prices, my SO and I will come back and enjoy some of their other home made hot pot items.\n[edit: message from manager states that they don't plan to increase prices in the near future]",
"I love hotpot whether I'm doing it at home or elsewhere and Little sheep is my elsewhere. \n\nBe forewarn, the wait on weekend is really long. They do have a system where they call you when your table is ready but be ready to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour. When you actually eat, the service is quick and friendly. Despite the busy atmosphere, I never felt rushed to finish my food. \n\nThe broth is so good! And if you can't tell by just looking at the spicy broth, it's spicy! But in a good way where your mouth isnt numb and you can still taste the food. The food quality was really good which is important when you hotpot because no one wants a dingy piece of meat in their broth.\n\nDefinitely will come back but will plan to come early to put my name in before anything else."

"Chili's, while a pedestrian chain, has some value. The food is better than fast food (not saying much, I know). But overall it's not a place I would choose to go. My cobb salad was just bogus, a few pieces of avocado, limp lettuce, some cheese tossed on the side. Unnecessarily lame.\n\nSome of these restaurants just try to do too much. Stick to a few things you can do well. Maybe here that's fajitas and burgers.\n\nGo for a margarita and chips with salsa, and dinner if you are with kids but don't want McDonalds.",
"Not being far from where I live and my job can be a bad or good thing (depending on if I got paid or waiting another week). Never had a problem here. My and my husband always get the classic nachos w/ chicken. It has been good each and every time. With me and my husband not eating pork or beef, we tend to get the same things over and over and for him, its hard to find a place that does a turkey burger (a good one at that). The shrimp is good, but will never be on the level of Friday's and maybe its me, but they don't give you much shrimp or fries (more like a kids platter). Only one pasta platter which is a shame, but then again, this isn't Olive Garden. My husband's chicken crispers were good too. For dessert, we ordered the new Oreo Molten Filled Cake. For $7, it was a nice size and pretty good as well. I only come here when I have a coupon though. It's a lot less painful on my wallet and it just so happen that I had a coupon for a free entree' so we rushed in before it expired. \n\nWe had a great server. Not once did we have to ask for a refill or extra napkins. She was on top of things and actually pretty funny. She even asked if my margarita was okay because I hadn't had much to drink and I assured her it was fine. I never waste my alcohol. I know my husband and I will come here often, especially since the theater is in the same center. Great for a movie/dinner date night.",
"Bacon is the candy bar of meat. Who ever heard of too much bacon! I had a little time to kill while waiting for the lovely wife so I thought I'd blow into Chili's for a burger and a beer.\n\nI sat at the bar and was quickly served and icy draft by a friendly bartender. As usual there were six or eight different burger combos on the menu. I choose the one that featured \"triple think\" bacon and ordered it medium. It sounded dam good.\n\nSo my burger and fries came out quickly and OMG was this bacon thick! I mean really thick and there was a lot of it. I never thought I would say this but this bacon was too thick. It was impossible to eat as part of a sandwich as it was too thick and tough to bite through easily. I ate it separately and it was tasty. What about the burger itself? It was cooked a beautiful medium and it was juicy. You can't expect much more than that at a chain.\n\nDespite the weird bacon situation the overall meal and service deserves three stars.",
"Horrible across the board. Ordered take out and arrived 5 mins before it was supposed to be ready. It was already waiting so that was positive. When I got home we were very disappointed. The classic bacon burger cooked medium lacked bacon completely and was raw in the middle. The bacon cheese fries looked and tasted like they had been under a heat lamp for 3 hours. My chicken bacon ranch quesadilla had what looked and tasted like day old, dry chicken breast. It had a hard outside and dry in the middle. The guacamole was brown. No quality control coming out of the kitchen. Disgusting. Will never return.",
"Disappointing. My boyfriend and I recently moved from Denver, Colorado and have always enjoyed Chili's on occasion. Last year we had visited this Chili's and were never greeted or seated by anyone and ended up walking out. \nMonths later, we were craving some epic chips and salsa and decided to try again. The entire experience had changed. The servers were friendly the environment was entirely different. \nHowever.... most recently I had another disappointing experience. I ordered take out (which is already risky if you want to eat dinner while its actually hot). The server never greeted me at the bar, I had to ask the hostess if someone would be helping me pick up my order. The order came out 15 minutes late... and they were missing an entire entre. The server told me, \"Haha... man we gave the other entre to the people right in front of you.\" Actually laughing and smiling he said he would put the order in. I then mentioned my meal and the fact that it was going to be cold. My meal was not replaced. Our desert was melted and I was not surprised. How frustrating...",
"Went to this location for my brother's birthday dinner. Food was okay, service was pathetic. The staff was mostly teenagers/early-mid 20s. Our waitress was noticeable new for her position so I didn't really judge her performance as I normally would. One young male waiter seemed to spend more time chatting with her than actually doing his job. Towards the end of our meal, another waiter/whatever brought out a tub of clean and wrapped silverware to put in the baskets by the menus which was right across from our table. One of the wrapped silverware had fallen out of the tub onto the floor. This child had the balls to pick it up, look around to see if anyone was watching and put the thing back into the basket. I called him out on it. I said loud enough that the other patrons could hear, \"Did you REALLY just put that in the basket AFTER being on the DIRTY FLOOR?\" He quickly looked at me like a deer in headlights and went to remove it from the basket. A female waitress was there reorganizing the basket and they exchanged words, probably bad mouthing me, which I really don't care if they were. By now the soiled silverware set was buried and she gave him some random one from the pile and he walked away with it. She \"thanked\" me for pointing it out, and I just shook my head. She's just as pathetic as the boy. Children with lack of respect for the food service industry should NOT be working in it. If you wanna behave like you're at McDonalds, go work there. Not at a respectable establishment like Chili's.",
"What has happened to chilis? It used to be my very favorite place to go. The last couple times I went the experience was so poor, I will never go back. The only edible thing they serve is the tortilla chips and salsa. Everything else seems like very low quality, the cheapest of meats and tastes like they just microwave it. The service the last time I went was inexcusable. It was not even crowded but it took 15 minutes for the waiter to even come over and take the drink order. I waited another 10 minutes to get the drink. I was with my four year old son so this made it even worse. His pizza and fries looked gross. I tasted the pizza and it was not good at all. I felt so bad feeding him that....never again. The fries used to be good but now they are beyond salty!! I had the chicken sandwich and couldnt even finish half of it and the lettuce was wilted. Chilis, I will miss the old you! Dont know how you stay in business.",
"Little outdated appearance-wise, but a pretty standard Chili's otherwise.",
"Nothing phenomenal, but definitely worth a few trips. They have a late night menu with cheaper appetizers and drinks which is nice since there aren't many restaurants around that do that. The food is decent, and they have good chicken crispers (another word for chicken tenders), and there quesadillas aren't bad.\n\nThe only disappointment, is this is the only mexican restaurant we have been to where you have to pay for chips and salsa for the table. No complimentary chips, which is ridiculous.",
"We took advantage of the happy hour special which includes half price appetizers. We started with the boneless wings. There are enough to share with several people. I ordered a draft beer which was a dollar off regular price. The two other people I was dining with ordered the half price raspberry margaritas. They thought the drinks were good but had very little alcohol in them. We decided to order the chips and guacamole but I guess we did not get the order in during happy hour and had to pay full price. I don't think we would have ordered them if the waitress would have told us happy hour was over. I ordered a flatbread, which was excellent. My husband ordered chili which he had to send back because it was cold. His hamburger was just ok. He was pleased to be able to substitute a side salad for the fries without an extra charge. Overall, we got lots of good food for a reasonable price."

"Very, very impressed with this little shack. This is yet another incarnation of the Sonoran-style taco/hot dog adventure. But I am gonna go out on a limb here and declare that this one is the best! \n \nFirst off, plates come with beans and rice, sprinkled with lovely white cheese, which is always nice to round out the meal. The chicken taco, delicious. The stewed beef sope, out-of-this-world. Yummy beans in a big old crockpot that you just dish up yourself. By the way, two burnt fingers later... it's hot.\n\nBest... of... all... BYOB. Yes, friends bring whatever beer you would like to enjoy with your meal (or Smirnoff Ice as the the lady across from me did). Just enjoy, no corkage, it's a very laid back place.\nI think it works like this, you come once and you're a regular for life.",
"***A warning to others looking for Sonoran Hot Dog Goodness***\n\nMy husband and I drove to Franciscos (which during the day is called \"Franks\") expecting to get the delicious tacos and sonoran hot dogs - however we were beyond disappointed to find that during the daytime, \"FRANKS\" serves boring things like omlettes and sandwiches. There was like one friend flauta or something on the menu. They also gave us a sonoran hot dog but without any of the special toppings. It was a huge let down. Learn from my experience, and go after 6pm.",
"Francisco's is great for what it is. You can you bring your own alcohol, we brought margaritas, and they will give you cups with ice if you ask for them. They also have an awesome salsa bar and beans. I didn't have the beans but the rest of my family loves them with the pico de gallo. Everything is cheap and reasonably priced. I had the vegetarian burrito which was HUGE! Others in my group had the soup, tacos, and fajitas and there was not one complaint. Yum!",
"There is not a week we don't go here for our weekly taco fix :).\noh..and caramelos.\n\nThey have the BEST house spicy sauce in their unlabeled sauce bottle. \nand the condiments bar for the tacos...always refrigerated, fresh, and fully stocked with yummy lime/salted red onions, guacamole, salsas etc. \n\nIts Franks in the morning (serving mediocre breakfast and such..see review)...\nBut at night..its Francisco's and its wonderful :).\n\nIt is a hole in the wall joint..but very clean and homely.",
"Great huevos rancheros. Home made beans, perfectly cooked corn tortilla underneath, crisp and tasty hashbrowns, great coffee.",
"Dirty, food was edible, water was not good enough to drink. I do not think I will eat here again and do not see how others can give it such high ratings.",
"Francisco's is so non-presumptious and delicious, you can go with all sorts of mixed company, and you've gotta love any place that gives you whole beans. \n\nIn this world of orange-cheese-covered refried everything Francisco's central Mexican style comfort food is a welcome change. I get the same thing every time: enchiladas with requeson (and a side of complimentary whole beans, of course). It reminds me of coming home from late night study sessions when I lived in Mexico DF, and eating simple delicious foods with my housekeeper standing up in the kitchen, talking about life. And that just makes me happy.",
"If you want authentic mexican food and great prices this is the place. Don't expect someone to fold your napkin here though, bare basics, but so amazing!!",
"Wow, 2 for 2 , Franks/ Francisco's at night is still a great place to come.\n\nThe atmosphere maintains its prideful diner-esque feel late into the evening. A room warm from a giant steel skillet ready to sizzle your meal in a matter of minutes. \n\nThe chicken DORADO Tacos were not only unique it was by far the best chicken tacos I have had yet in Tucson. A zesty presence of lime and a particular softness of the meat made this a great plate. The rice itself was not overly treated with spices as is often the case for Mexican fan fare.\n\nThe food was amazing but an inconsistency with service attention and some kids running around and freaking me out were a tad much. Making this a 4.5. \n\nGreat food and prices with a non pretentious atmosphere, I'm coming back. :)",
"Only 9 reviews???\nSeriously?\n\n\nWhen visiting my sister in Tucson... this is a MUST stop for me.\nShe got my hooked (Julia C.)\n\nThe Good:\n* Prices... $1.50-$3.25 for a taco, quesadilla, carne asada!? come on... CAN'T GO WRONG!\n* Sauces = yummy, authentic... all you can eat!\n* Private parking lot\n* Free beans, but you have to find the pot of beans yourself!\n* Great service, always smiling, always helpful\n\nThe Bad:\n* Sticky tables\n* Sticky chairs\n\nThe Weird:\n* Interesting to see the different people that come into this joint. Real mexicans, white-washed mexicans, asians (me), and full caucasian. See what amazing food can do!! It can all bring us together!"

"This place is great!!!! Great food for $5 you can't finish her breakfast sandwich. Better cheese steak and chicken steaks than all those places on Henry ave. this nice couple takes great care of you. It's a much try.",
"Keith is right! My favorite breakfast sandwich - sausage, egg and cheese on rye toast is UNDER $3!! I don't know how they do it! I eat one half at a time and skip lunch. Lisa and Roger are a joy! I could go on and on about how great they are and how much their food ROCKS. But I don't want it to sound like I'm trying to get an invite to go fishing;-) Thanks for being in the 'hood!!",
"There is no other way to put it, this place completely justifies a 5 star rating. Sandwich is huge. Great roll. Breakfast sandwich egg not scrambled. Super cheap.",
"Great food, simple menu, and great staff. The couple that owns it definitely makes sure their customers are happy and food is a bargain for what you receive",
"Food here has always been good. Grabbed lunch to go a few times. Nice place to go to change it up. A little too small to bring a large group.",
"Great breakfast food! The only reason why it didn't get 5 stars is because they are not open Sundays. What breakfast place isn't open Sundays?!? I probably call every Sunday hoping things have changed. Best breakfast on the block. AND they are closed all summer. Wish they would hire someone to take over those hours!!! Especially with all he hungover people in Manayunk. They would make a killing on Sundays. Nice people.",
"Amazing breakfast at a great price! Had the baby baconator. $4 and I was totally full. The full baconator at $5.50 was huge. Nice married couple who run it. A great business. Cash only!",
"When ordering from Lisa's you know what you're getting into, nothing over the top. The sandwiches are okay, i think they're skinny but you can't beat the prices. Also keep in mind this is a cash only joint.",
"The owner Roger is one of the rudest people I have ever met. Extremely disrespectful and very openly criticizes people who were not born and raised in the neighborhood. I would not recommend this place, there are much better options around.",
"If you have yet to try one of Lisa's breakfast sandwiches, shame on you. \n\nCash only. Call ahead or drop in to place your order, and chat with the wonderful owners as they whip up your breakfast right in front of you. \n\nThere are a few seats if you decide to dine in.\n\nFood is cheap, comes in two sizes, the baby and regular versions, and is OUT OF THIS WORLD"

"This Place puts all other rib joints to shame, I've only gotten take out here, but the ribs here are so very tasty, words are hard to describe it, just go and check it out. You won't be sorry",
"My family has been going to the Rib Crib since I was a baby. The ribs from this little hole-in-the-wall Germantown shop are very tasty to say the least. There is no dine-in option, only take out. This never poses a problem for me as I tend to get very messy when I order the Crib's ribs. The barbequed chicken is also delicious: very tender and expertly bbq'ed. There are two sauce options, hot and mild. I always choose the hot and it is delicious in itself.\n\nThe only downside is this is not the place to go if you are looking for a plethora of side options. Be happy if you get a few slices of white bread on the side. Even with this, I'll still give the Rib Crib five stars!",
"The Rib Crib on Germantown Avenue is a tightly run operation. As you enter, you are greeted by a doorman, who cautions you to watch your step. Walk up to the counter, and you are told to take a numbered ticket. Order from the small menu (pork ribs, chicken) which is posted on the wall and on the counter. Wait a few minutes for your food to be packed up, and off you go (it is take-out only). Beware that the Rib Crib is not the most welcoming place to ask a question, change your mind, or take too long when you are ordering! However, it is good food and excellent value. When I went, I ordered the half barbequed chicken for $5 (your choice of hot or mild sauce), which came with two sides (coleslaw, potato salad, or macaroni salad) and bread. The chicken was exceptionally meaty and the barbeque sauce had a pleasant tang (although it wasn't particularly spicy hot). As far as atmosphere, it is mesmerizing to watch the ribs cooking and the staff slathering on the sauce with big brushes, and the walls are lined with autographed photos of famous Rib Crib patrons. Their hours are limited, so check that they are open before you go. I can't speak for the ribs, which I didn't try during my visit. But keep the Rib Crib in mind for a cheap, quick, filling, quality $5 chicken dinner!",
"I am so in love with the Rib Crib and actually drool thinking of them. I love the photos on the wall of all the different jazz musicians and famous Philadelphians. Great stuff!",
"I have to say this is a great place. I've been getting ribs from here since the late 70's. Many of the folks behind the counter are still there. Great ribs, chicken and sauce. They are opened Thursday, Friday and Saturday and closed the entire month of August (which I always seem to forget). My vote for the best ribs in Philly.",
"While I love the Ribs from the Crib, lately it has been a 50/50 chance as to whether or not the Ribs would be extremely tough. It is take out only. It is disappointing to get home and have $70 worth of ribs that are almost unchewable.\n\nOn the other hand, when they are tender, they are the best ribs anywhere.\n\nI also wish they were open more.",
"The Rib Crib has been a Germantown institution for decades and they sill produce some of the best southern style Ribs in the area. Rib Crib is one of the few places you can see the meats cooked in front of you and you can smell the smokey flavors while you sit there looking at all the photo's of famous African Americans meshing into a collage of black pride. The Ribs are tender, smokey and the barbecue sauce is one of the best i ever tasted. The staff is very professional and they get you in and out so you can go home and get down and dirty with your ribs- if they make it home that is!",
"As a kid I had this phobia of meat on the bone (ribs, chicken legs, pork chops, et al.) I know someone is going to turn that into a crass joke, but it's true. So, as I kid, the only thing I really ever ate from the Rib Crib was the macaroni salad. At some point my dad put his foot down, saying that it was just un-African American to dislike ribs. How can you ignore that challenge?\n\nThe Rib Crib is an institution in Germantown and in our family with many a Friday night spent covered in barbecue sauce. I love that you can watch the meat being smoked right in the open pit as you wait for your order. At their best, Rib Crib ribs are smokey with fall-off-the-bone tender meat, and slathered in a sweet/tangy/spicy sauce. Unfortunately, you don't always get perfection, which is disappointing given the fact that they are open only a few days a week. I agree with Mark C. - the joint is take out only and it's frustrating to get home with your order to realize that it's been and \"off day\" at the Crib. In my opinion, the tangy macaroni salad can't be beat and there's nothing better than sopping up extra sauce with fluffy slices of white bread.\n\nThe friendly staff can't be beat, though, and the owner has been active in the community for years. Of course, you can't miss the myriad photos of prominent black folks that adorn the walls of the small space. Those photos were some of my earliest lessons in Black History. For a biracial kid from the 'burbs, this is a place where I was actually able to connect with my African American heritage.\n\nThe Rib Crib is worth a try if you're into hitting barbecue spots around the Philly area, but they may no longer be the best in the business.",
"I found out about this place on this site. Anyone who down's that resturant is a loser. Especially if you're accustomed, or looking forward to the \"ol' skool\" atmosphere that the rib crib flawlessly delivers. I feel as if the rib crib is impeccable in it's service, and food, because I don't eat pork, and that's the stores main dish. The beef was just as good, and I feel as if anyone who loves meat, or just the aura of originality, the rib crib is surely the way to go.",
"I decided to try this place out. I was starving and recently moved to the area. I bought the half rack of ribs. The sauce (hot) was excellent. The ribs were okay. I've had better, but I may be unfairly comparing them to Memphis BBQ which I have had multiple times."

"On a recent trip to Indy to visit my grandmother, she brought me and my fiance to this Greek place near her home on the northwest side. It was a lovely, cool August evening, so we chose to sit outside on their \"patio\". I say \"patio\" because the restaurant is located in a strip mall, and the outdoor seating is on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant, so it's a little like sitting in the parking lot, but they've made a great effort to pretty it up and make it seem like a quaint little outdoor cafe. I'm a big fan of sitting outdoors, period, so I enjoyed it and tried to quiet my snobby inside voice. :) What I saw of the inside of the restaurant was lovely as well. \n\nThe waiter was nice and informed us of the specials, which all sounded delicious. We ordered drinks (Greek red wine for me, retsina for my guy, and a Beefeater on the rocks for Gram) and a saganaki to start. The saganaki was quite good, with the typical lighting on fire and shouting of \"Opa!\". (They don't do this in Greece, in case you were wondering). For the entrees we had moussaka (me), gemista, or stuffed peppers (NIck), and stuffed cabbage (Gram). The moussaka was fantastic -- the bechamel was absolutely perfect and I loved the meat sauce. Nick and my gram loved theirs as well. Definitely authentic and definitely tasty.\n\nFor dessert we had a galaktabouriko (custard in philo) and a baklava with ice cream. The baklava was great, but the galaktabourika was served quite hot,and I prefer it room temperature or even slightly chilled. The heat took away from the flavor, so I felt I could not properly judge. I guess I should have asked to have it cold.\n\nAthens on 86th gets the stamp of authenticity from my man. I'd definitely return.",
"If you like to venture out and try different things, in the City of Chains that is Indy, this is a diamond in the rough. Located in a strip mall just off of 86th Street, on the NW side of Indy, it isn't exactly in a fabulous location, but just inside the doors, you will find an air of Greece that cannot be found anywhere else in the city. \n\nIf you love Greek food, you will get it here or if you like to try new things, definitely check out Athens on 86th Street. Great menu options, great staff and fantastic drinks. Offering a wide array of authentic Greek cuisine, you will have to choose from the restaurant feature dishes like octopus, tender lamb and a variety of innovative pastas. I was very impressed with our cheese appetizer that the waiter caught on fire and yelled \"Ooopa!\" (not sure if I spelled that correctly) which was fun and exciting...not to mention DELICIOUS!!\n\nThe restaurant is owned by a Greek family, decorated with beautiful mementos of Greece and is very quaint and relaxing, quiet and romantic. Highly recommend for a taste of something different, for a first or 100th date, or for a small celebration.",
"Authentic! (which yelp friends will tell you is my prime concern with ethnic restaurants).\nVery good food.\nVery good service.\nNice atmosphere.\nWell stocked bar.\nCan seat a large party.\nLots of parking.\nLots of options on the menu.\nVery accommodating for people with food restrictions.\n\nA great place for a date, a family meal, or a large group of friends.\n\nDefinitely a must visit when in Indy.",
"We ate dinner there in late May and it was a great choice. The food was really delicious, the portions were plentiful, the prices were reasonable and the service was pleasant.",
"After a really crappy night at work, coming off a 25 hour work day with 3 hours of sleep...I was among the walking dead, with little patients. Athens on 86th was an absolute God-send!\nEverything about my meal was amazing...best Greek food I have had in a long while.\nWent during lunch, and the place had a few tables, so it was a nice quiet experience...just the overheard conversation from a table of Greek speaking patrons. Made the experience just that much better. They have a few outdoor tables, which would have been nice on this warm day, if I wasn't so irratble.\nStarted off my meal with a much needed glass of malbec, and tea. I ordered the \"Taste of Greece\" veggie entree, which included a plethora of goodies...dolma, mousaka, spanikopita, etc. It was truely amazing.\nMore than enough food for my sleep deprived body.\nService was prompt and attentive, a very friendly staff.\n$25 was the damage, and it was well worth that price.",
"Athens on 86th is a great place for authentic Greek food in Indianapolis. Every time I visit, I leave full of the large portions and amazing food options. Each platter comes with a salad which is excellent and typically green beans, rice, or potatoes. The sides are what make the meals the best. \n\nThe atmosphere in the dining room is nice, it's not too large and typically the dinner crowd is not too loud or not too quiet. Went with my significant other here on Valentine's Day last year and they gave each lady a rose with her meal - the service that night was particularly great!\n\nIt may be a bit pricey for an individual meal, but this makes a great date night!",
"Excellent place to eat. Highly recommend the Greek spaghetti. Service was terrific. Will patronize again on my next business trip to Indy!",
"Yummy, authentic food, & friendly staff! We arrived on a day of a blizzard, so they were really slow and we got lots of staff attention. My sons were coached through the greek menu items by the waitress, and she seemed genuinely to like having kids in the restaurant. She made a big show of the flaming cheese for them too! However - this isn't a kid's restaurant - no crayons or paper, and no lidded cups. So YMMV with a younger diner. My kids liked their kebabs as well as I liked my fish. I would go back.",
"The hummus at Athens far outpaces any that I've had at any other Greek or Mediterranean resto in Indy. It's kind of pricey the small portion they serve, but it's worth it. The Greek salad was also quite good, but was a bit too saturated with dressing. We shared the \"Taste of Greece\" veggie plate (about $16) and everything was tasty. It doesn't quite match Santorini's veggie platter, but it comes close. The fact that the hummus and the salad were so delicious and the house wines quite drinkable puts it on even keel. Also, the waiter gave us a complimentary baklava so we left pretty happy.",
"I really enjoyed the food at Athens on 86th. Though I don't really know what authentic Greek food consists of, I feel like this place is authentic, because it had a huge menu with lots of dishes I haven't seen at other Greek restaurants. \n\nEverything I had was delicious, and portions are large enough to share with a buddy. Service was quick and friendly, and I would definitely return. I only wish I had enough room left over for coffee and dessert!"

"The moment has come for me to review Wags...... I visited two times just to ensure the seriousness of my love of this place... I wanted to make sure I wasn't living in a dream world where macs n' cheese were perfect...\n\nBoth of my visits have been during lunch time with my coworkers dragging me to Marrero. I never thought a day would come where I would willingly go to Marrero but this time has come. \n\nLocation: It's a little bit out of the way, at least for a Nola girl down a few streets and them appear a little tiny location that really doesn't look like a restaurant of any sorts, but don't let that stop you. Enough parking around the building so there shouldn't be a problem. The owner/cashier is awesome. He is so friendly and sweet and the staff is very nice. Location looks a little sketchy so may not be for everyone, but I like it. I also like the fact there is always some great music playing specifically Dancehall making me feel like I'm about get up and dance like I'm in a club in Jamaica.\n\nFood: YES YES YES... First... It's cheap... You pick a letter (which represents such things as mac n cheese/potato salad/peas or shrimp fettuccine/potato salad/peas, etc.), then you pick a number (which represent such things as fish, shrimp, stuffed crabs, stuffed bell peppers). With just about any combo you will only pay $8... Yes that's all! I have to say next to Neyow's this place has my favorite macaroni and cheese. They are just the right amount of creamy and cheese, spaghetti style. The definitely is everything Southern Comfort Food should be. I also love the fist that is delicious and fresh as well as my beloved Stuffed Bell Peppers filled with great yumminess such as shrimp. I really haven't gone wrong with a meal here. Also, everyone who comes out with us always enjoys their meal.",
"This place is in the middle of the ghetto, but it was worth the chance. It was a great meal, awesome people working and best crab cakes I have ever had.",
"I love this place! It is my favorite go to place for soul food, but you better get there early, they tend to run out of food around 5pm. They have daily specials that never disappoint and an awesome owner; their stewed chicken is the best!!!!!",
"The food is still very good.I had the fish and it was still hot and the pieces were large. Larry does a great job at recognizing his patrons he greets you by name and make you feel comfortable. That right there is a plus.Keep up the good work.",
"Wowzars... If you want to be winning in all aspects of your life visit Wags. If not, you will be losing...",
"I drove all the way to Marrero to try their breakfast. I must say it was good. The breakfast was like your grandmother's cooking. I wish they but a location closer to the city. It was located in the middle of a neighborhood. Thanks for the great food! Next time I'll be back to try lunch/dinner.",
"Best hot plate of soul food in the city. Stewed chicken on rice, sweet peas and baked macaroni. I'd take a picture but I smashed that already, lol. Reggae music, friendly, fast service. Always A1.",
"Everything here is great! Friendly staff and just a few blocks off of Ames.\n\nI've only had lunch, which has been consistently great. Need to make it over for their breakfast, some time.\n\nCall ahead for take-out, though their line is frequently busy, if you can. Cash only.",
"Best Plate Lunches in the city an the prices are awesome. Wags is my favorite place for soul food.",
"We(my family and I) ate at Wags back in February. Frankly, the food is off the chain! The atmosphere is fun and busy. The staff is friendly and quite funny. We will definitely be going back!"

"A brand new local donuts place in Meridian. I went there to give it a try after my workout (go ahead U can judge me!). I picked up a few donuts & breakfast items. Everything's was good & fresh! The ladies that work there are nice! It feels good to support a local business. I'll be back for more!",
"Wow. -more than a donut shop!! Great food and donuts are amazing. - one stop and got donuts for kids. -ham croissant and breakfast burrito for mom and dad :)",
"I am saving a 5 star for some additional visits, but for now these are great donuts and savories. \n\nA clean place, nicely displayed cases, with friendly help. I took a medley of donuts, fritters, and sausage rolls. The thing that impressed me was the lightness and texture of the donuts, maple bars, fritters, etc. and sausage roll pastry. All great and very tasty. They even slipped in a few donut holes into my box as a gift which I didn't discover until getting home. The most impressive pastry today was the large apple fritter. Not thick or doughy, not oily, but the best fritter I have had maybe ever. Still lots to try, but I am game. LOL.\n\nHaven't tried their coffee yet. So a coffee and donut the next time will fill that niche.\n\nThe owners are of Korean heritage. I heard them talking and could tell that they were speaking Korean. When I smiled when they were speaking, they wondered if I was Korean. Nope, I said ABC, but I recognize the language. \n\nI suspect the rating will go up to 5 stars after a few more trials eats. BTW, they have samples and I suspect they will let you try a piece of a donut or pastry. They can always sample out the remainder.",
"My husband had noticed a sign for Sweet Sensations near our home. He went to go grab a box on what happened to be their grand opening. They were almost sold out of everything, so we only got to try some glazed donuts, blueberry donuts, and raised donuts with chocolate icing. When we get donuts, we typically get a dozen. That's usually enough for my husband and I to have one or two, our kids to pick the icing off of one a piece, and a few left over for a snack that evening or the next day. When I first bit into a blueberry donut, I was surprised at how light it was. It wasn't greasy or dry. It was blueberry donut perfection. My husband and I were leisurely sipping some coffee and eating our donuts, when we looked over and realized that the box was empty. I have 3 small children. They typically gnaw all the icing off, crumble the donut into a billion pieces, and ask for another donut to repeat the process. But that morning, they had each eaten 3 entire donuts and wanted more. I have never seen any of my children eat an entire donut, let alone, 3 a piece. I only got to try 1 1/2 donuts, but they were both light and fluffy. The glazes were perfect. We've tried almost all of the donut shops around Boise, and these are by far my favorite.",
"Super happy to see a new donut place open and this place is fantastic. Light and fresh tasting, not heavy, greasy, or overly sweet. I usually cut my donut in half, eat part and then get mad at myself for eating it when I knew it would make me feel icky... not this time. I just wanted more! The apple fritter was the best one I have had in forever. The savory treats looked delicious too. A great place! We will return!",
"Just ate my first doughnut from this little shop- it was so light, fluffy, and just sweet enough! It wasn't cloying, but perfectly light and decadent. They were insanely busy for the location - kind of plunked in the middle of suburbia. I will definitely say these are the best in the Valley. We tried a bunch of mini doughnuts- and a couple regulars. My goodness, so yummy! I thought the maple bar was lucious, but not sickly sweet as maple bars can be. The itty bitty cream puffs are great- the custard inside is light and sweet. I thought the blueberry cake doughnut was super fruity and like a super yummy muffin. Mini apple fritters? Yes, please! Far superior glaze than the big chains, and not as overpowering as the places down the road. The filled doughnuts are called eclairs, and filled to order (I heard raspberry, lemon, and custard ). Sausage rolls were really tasty, and a different type of pastry (I loved the mini, it helped with the sweet!). They did run out of a few kinds (they said they don't like to have them on the shelves for more than three hours, so they will make fresh ones all morning). And, there isn't anything super fancy, but if you want a darn good doughnut, prepared correctly, this is the place to go!\n\nI will be back.",
"what a perfect donut. We went in last Saturday morning and wow what a treat.. so light and fluffy one of the best donuts ever. my husbqnd goes in and gets a dozen for his work crew and they devour them. the young lady, with long long dark hair, Cassidy, is so sweet, warm and friendly. we will be coming back a lot and spreading the word!!!",
"Excellent donuts and such nice people working. My husband chose a blueberry donut as \"his\" in the variety we bought. At first I thought blueberry was an odd (and maybe boring) choice but it ended up being my favorite. While we were dining in, the man working behind the counter brought out a plate of piping-hot glazed donut holes for us at no charge. The glazed holes literally melted in our mouths. Screw the diet, donuts for everyone!",
"I'm actually pretty disappointed in this place. The reviews were good, so when my daughter needed donuts before school, I figured I would stop here. \nThere were no full dozen prices displayed anywhere on the menu board. Where it looked like there may have been, there was blue painter's tape over the item listed. So I had no idea what this would cost. I ordered 3 dozen mixed anyways. \nThe selection was low. The lady took a long time filling the boxes. \nWhen she rang up the price it came to $41. $41 for 3 dozen donuts? I didn't argue or question it because I didn't ask before ordering. But I never imagined it costing that much. My fault for not asking. \nI won't be back. Beware of the high price for donuts here. Krispy Kreme is a better value.",
"Wow- Doughnuts are amazing. Owners are very nice and sweet! Definitely coming back for more!"

"This place has a pretty solid corned beef sandwich. What bothered me was the soft, not chewy roll it came on, but oh man that beef was glorious. Nevertheless, that roll seriously knocked it down a notch.\n\nThey have an extensive selection of Kosher products (obviously) and quite a bit of yummy pastries. \n\nAfter stalking down the area's Jewish places this place separates itself from the pack by serving it all. Their butcher can be pretty cheap too! That comes as an extremely welcome surprise.",
"3 words: Beef Pastrami sandwich\n\nIts $7 cost might come as a shock, but its worth in taste is double that.",
"It is a chutzapeh, how much money they charge for simple items. Everywhere else, food items are a lot cheaper. Some chocolates go over the counter for double the price compared to anywhere else. The food is mediocre and doesn't meet any standards. The local meat however is Beis Yosef and tastes very good.",
"If you are a man who loves corned beef, than this is the place to go. \n\nThey do it right, hot corned beef on rye with some yellow mustard. Stuff is amazing.",
"Food so yummy I might convert!\n\nA local kosher deli that I never knew existed. I'm neither jewish or kosher so I wasn't entirely familiar with everything on the menu but I'm told its all good. I have had the pastrami both times I've been there and tried a couple different salads. Love it! \n\nIt looks like a grocery store only when you first walk in but you order your food at the back deli counter and then seat yourself at one of the tables. After you finish eating you take your ticket through the grocery check out line and pay for your meal.",
"I had the Reuben. Much better than Pumpernickel, I thought. For being hundreds of miles away from the coast, not too shabby. The rye was a little too soggy, and not from grease as I would have had no issues with. The only soggy bread on a sandwich I want is a wet Italian beef, nothing else.",
"I have heard good things, but left disappointed. The hot pastrami sandwich was so dry I almost choked. This is definitely not as good as Koppermans.\n\n Hopefully, next time will be better.",
"Today was my first visit to Kohn's deli. I had a hard time making a decision about what to eat. There were too many favorites. I wish they offered a half and half sandwich. I really wanted both the pastrami and the chopped liver! But, I took the pastrami. It was good. But, it was different than the coarser NYC deli style I \"grew up\" on --and that is not a complaint but merely an observation. Ialso had the hearts of palms side salad. My friend had the chicken schnitzel sandwich with the same side salad. We were stuffed! Because we had a \"groupon\" for $22 we also bought several bags of day old bagels-3 for $1 and some packets of flavored tea bisquits. All of the employees were very nice to us from the fellow who cleaned the tables to the deli server to the cashier. The lunch table area was fairly full with noon time munchers. I saw several other items that I wish I could have ordered: cabbage rolls, knishes- oh and I saw kugels. Also the meat counter has some good looking meat but we did not have a cooler with us. Nice place. We will go again. Also, good parking with easy access.",
"Everyone we encountered here was so friendly and helpful! It was such a great experience! We had hot pastrami sandwich that was great!! We also had turkey pastrami that didn't even compare tithe pastrami. I wasn't a fan at all of the turkey pastrami. We also had a cucumber, tomato, onion salad suggested by the gentleman behind the counter and it was delicious! We tried sweet kugel and a meat knish and they were both very good. Although we have never tried either before so we don't have anything to compare it too. I just can't get over how nice and hospitable everyone there was! We will definitely return!! :)",
"I was so excited to try this place because I saw they were one of the few delis that had shwarma and I havent had that since Israel a few years back, but when I got my food the meat was cold and it was altogether unpleasant, unfortunate for $7. My boyfriend also got cold meat and ended up with food poisoning the next day. I never got sick but my stomach was unsettled for a few hours after Kohns. Just a warning about the meat. I'm sure the baked goods or raw meat to cook on your own would be fine. The atmosphere of the restaurant was highly drab and boring. Not looking to going back anytime soon."

"The decor is blah and the restaurant is really smoky inside, but the food is dirt cheap and delicious. I would definitely go back here, but I would get takeout.",
"So I waffled a bit on whether to give this place a five star or a four star review, but I finally decided to adjust my standards for the Lou. This is easily the best place to get pho in the Lou. \n\nI have tried several different places including Pho Grand, Lemongrass, Vietnam Star and Miss Saigon. None of them compares to this place. My enthusiasm for this place may be explained by the fact that I had a hard time finding a good place for pho before asking a native for some recommendations, but now that I have, this is the only place I go to for good, almost home style, pho.\n\nThe ambiance of the place is very \"hole in the wall\", but you will find it very friendly and inviting. The place is run by two ladies, one who occassionally ventures out of the kitchen and one who is the hostess / waitress. From the Vietnamese pop music to the decorations on the wall, those of us who grew up Vietnamese will feel like we're visiting the places that our parents used to like to go.\n\nThe only drawback is that it allows smoking. Occasionally there will be large groups of people in there and they can be a bit noisy as it seems like a favorite hangout spot for some of the local Vietnamese people. But again it reminds me of my family get togethers so I feel right at home :).\n\nI have taken many of my friends to this place and have never had any complaints. Stick with the pho and you can't go wrong. The cafe sua da is also excellent.",
"When people attempt to rate something, it's obviously relative. One person's 7 on a scale to 10, could be another person's 5. With that being said, let me note that, for me, a score of five stars means that whatever I'm rating has to be pretty much perfect, because, well, that's what five stars means. I understand what Lam means by \"adjusting\" his standards, but I guess I'm just an asshole, because I can't do it--believe me, I tried. \n\nWith that being said, bless you Lam, for letting me know about this ridiculous place. Truc Lam, based on my one visit today, has the best pho in St. Louis hands down--there literally is nothing close to it. The only reason that this place doesn't get a five star review from me is because I thought their spring rolls kinda sucked, which is odd, because they obviously used fresh/quality ingredients. I don't know why, but it just tasted bland. So, as odd as this sounds, if I had just had pho, this place would be a five star (and my first five star restaurant on here), but since I had something else, that wasn't as good, it's now a four. My bad, Truc Lam, for ordering the spring rolls.\n\nOh, and another thing--THIS place is in the ghetto. Yes, there are black people. Yes, there are white people. Yes, there are people waiting for the bus. I find it odd that when I say \"ghetto\" people automatically reference stereotypically racist things, even though I made no note of what made it ghetto to me. I guess when I say, \"ghetto\" I mean \"I'm worried that black, white and people exercising a public transport solution will steal my automobile.\" \n\nI kid, fuckers. Now back off me, because my shit is hilarious. \n\n(On a side note, please be certain to phone in advance of your visit to Truc Lam. I attempted to dine there several evenings prior, only to find that the establishment was closed, refuting the signage on the entryway noting otherwise.) \n\nHave a good day!",
"Best pho in the city! Don't get me wrong, I love Lemongrass and Pho Grand just as much as the next Southsider, but this place is phenomenal. The menu is incredibly diverse, with interesting options--not your average St. Louis Vietnamese menu. My husband and I have a tendency to try the strangest items on a menu, and Truc Lam has plenty for us to choose from. But there are the standards for the less adventurous eater, even the Vietnamese novice.\n\nTruc Lam doesn't just look like any old dive bar, it looks like an old man bar--wood paneling and all. And the place is always packed with Vietnamese folks eating pho, which I take as a good sign. On occasion there are a few that give you the \"what are you doing here\" stare, but I don't really mind because the service is more than friendly, downright sweet.",
"My favorite pho place ever!\n\nI had exhausted the pho options in the D.C. Northern VA area and thought I loved pho before I moved to St. Louis and found this spot. Then I came here, and was blown away. And I found it just driving around having \"missed\" all the places on Grand!\n\nIn three years, I've yet to try anything other than the pho tai bo vien, and I usually opt for the fried egg rolls here instead of the traditional viet spring rolls because they come in lettuce wraps and the sauce is light and delicious.",
"Truc Lam is a smoky hole in the wall \"dive bar-like\" Vietnamese restaurant that I adore. Not because it's beautiful or because the staff is overwhelmingly friendly. In fact, they only have one waitperson, who is probably the owner. It is so busy that she can barely get your food on the table and it takes her twice as long to get the table cleared. \n\nWhen you walk in, you will see panel walls right out of the '70's, steaming bowls of Pho on every table, and lots of Asian people with cigarettes hanging from mouths with ashes accumulating on the end of butt. I sometimes feel like I am a fly on the wall in a scene from the movie Kung Fu Hustle. \n\nAll of the complaining aside, there is something about the smell of all of that wonderful steaming Pho that makes me forget about the negatives. Pho (broth-based noodle soup) is definitely their specialty, and is great, but they also have other food that is yum. \n\nI love the Vietnamese interpretation of a pork chop. The seasoning, the marinade, the way they pair it with crushed rice and some kind of egg/shredded pork \"quiche-like\" side. It is so good and Truc Lam does it well. \n\nI'll have to disagree with Brandon (another Yelp reviewer) about the spring rolls. I think they are pretty good. Not the best in town, but good, nonetheless. I also have to thank Brandon for his review, which inspired my first visit. \n\nIf you can handle a little smoke and clutter, and have some time, give this place a try. The food is cheap and yummy and you will not be disappointed.",
"Wow.\n\nAs mentioned elsewhere, the only pho I've ever had that topped this place was stuff I made myself, with organic ingredients and no MSG (not even in the fish sauce).\n\nI was stranded for a day in St. Louis, due to weather, so I called a friend from law school to come meet me for a bowl of pho. She picked me up from my hotel and drove me into the ghetto.\n\nNo, not really. It's a lower-income area of town, but there was no gunfire, I didn't get assaulted, and my friend's car didn't get vandalized. So, not really a ghetto.\n\nAnd the broth . . . \n\nRich, peppery, and delectable. I think the noodles were really good, too, but honestly, the broth was so incredible that I don't recall the rest of the ingredients.\n\nNow, if they'd just ban smoking, it would have been perfect.",
"I didn't have the pho here, only been once, but had a vegetarian rice dish that was excellent. We were dining on a Tuesday night, and there was only one other group eating. I definitely will be back to try more of their cuisine, and based on the other reviews, will have the pho!",
"To tell you the truth, I was a little disappointed. We went here today for lunch. I ordered egg rolls and Pho beef. The fried egg rolls were really bad. I wish I had ordered the spring rolls, that's what I was thinking but, I guess, not what I said.\nThe Pho was excellent except I didn't recognize a lot of the beef. There were also pieces of grizzle in the soup. I just removed what I didn't recognize. My friend liked her Pho but had a hard time with all the smokers.\nI think I'll stick to Pho Grand.",
"We definitely got some looks from the locals when stepping into this place as we are an interracial couple. I'm used to that, though, so I won't take off any stars.\nWe ordered the vegetarian noodle soup with tofu, and the vegetarian fresh spring rolls.\nThe soup was pretty bland: we had to spice it up when we got home. The rolls were tasty and fresh.\nI'm gonna give it an A-OK, though I will probably try one of their mixed-veggie dishes next time instead of a soup. I'm sticking with three stars because I feel like maybe we ordered the wrong thing and Yelpers give me confidence that I'll find something better.\nOh...the other good thing. This place is really, really cheap!"

"Had a great meal. Everything was fresh as fresh can be. Fresh herbs, bread, sauce. Prices are reasonable. Loved the meal and I will be a regular here. Service was great. Good job guys.",
"My wife and I had the salmon and the braised beef. Delicious. And the service was as good as at DaSoli. We'll be back with friends.",
"My girlfriend and I had been looking for a good Italian BYOB and stumbled upon Allora one evening when we could not find a reservation elsewhere. We had nothing but a wonderful experience. Upon entering the restaurant one enters a foyer open to the kitchen which allows an unparalleled view of the meal preparation. The staff was courteous and polite, the dining room was clean and our waiter, Mark, offered us water and opened our bottle of wine as soon as we sat.\n\nHaving never been there before we asked Mark for a recommendation for an appetizer and we were counseled to try the mussels, which were excellent as was the caesar salad. For dinner I ordered the Veal Parmigiana, which is one of my favorites. It was truly the best I have had in years, perfectly fried and seasoned. \n\nFor desert we split the homemade bread pudding and an espresso, both of which were delicious. We thought we would not be able to have desert given time constraints imposed by movie tickets we had purchased but Mark, aware of our plight, assured us he could have it out in 2 minutes, a promise he delivered on. \n\nAll in all it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely return and recommend Allora to anyone. The food was excellent, the service was professional and polite and the cost was reasonable.",
"I was excited to see a new BYOB establishment in the Marlton area. My husband and I dined here on a very quiet Tuesday evening recently. We ordered a special crab lobster tomato bisque, Veal San Marco, and Pork con Fico. \n\nWe began with fresh bread and a tomato oil dipping sauce. The bread was fresh, however, it lacked any flavor. Did they put the appropriate salt in it? It tasted extremely bland.\n\nThe bisque was on the salty side but alright to eat.\n\nThe veal was cooked well, but the dish overall was not overly impressive to me. I don't think I would encourage eating it again. It wasn't terrible, but my expectations were higher. The Pork con Fico looked really good. It was better than the San Marco I had. \n\nThe risotto side was basic, nothing to brag about.\n\nI may give it one more try, but I am certainly not in a rush.",
"Atmosphere and servers were nice, but the food came out too quickly ( we were still eating our appetizers when our entrees came out) and my entree was not good. Husband liked his and the dessert was good though. Nothing knocked our socks off enough to return.",
"Chef Mark has done it again. First da Soli and now Allora. Beautiful soothing ambience. His waitstaff is exceptional. Food, amazing. We started with the lightly breaded calamari and the clams casino. All entrees were delicious and beautifully presented. I chose the grilled filet mignon with peppercorn sauce, grilled veggies and super creamy risotto. We had his homemade fig and citrus bread pudding and flourless chocolate cake. We will definitely be returning.\n\nMy profile says I'm from Canton OH. Which is wrong. I'm from Smyrna DE and I wouldn't hesitate to make the drive up to Allora again!",
"Dinner was delicious! The menu is impressive and not overwhelming - it is BYOB, as well. The restaurant was very busy and lively - not a place for a quiet dinner, but the vibe was fun for a weekend out on the town! It was our server's first day, so he had some challenges answering questions about the menu. We got through the questions, and he did a good job. The restaurant was very crowded, so I would recommend a reservation (we had one). Our meal was excellent, and prepared beautifully. The bread was very disappointing - bland with no flavor. They could use an improvement here. We would definitely go back again.",
"Our entrees were good. Caesar salad was tasteless and disappointing. Service was friendly and efficient. Decor leaves a lot to be desired. Somewhat austere. They initially tried to seat us in the back dining room where there was a huge cardboard box sitting in the back corner. Agree with another reviewer who said nothing really knocked their socks off.",
"I had the pleasure of dining at \"Allora\" on Wednesday night after my boyfriend picked it out for our Date Night....I must say that from the time I walked in I was I was impressed. Nice atmosphere, classy, yet subtle. We enjoyed the grilled calamari and clams casino as our appetizers....the calamari was very fresh and the pomodoro sauce it was prepared with was delicious with a hint of spicy. On to the main course, he enjoyed the Chicken Parmigiana which was tender and crispy with a flavorful sauce, served in a huge portion...I enjoyed the Capellini di Mare, which was full of sweet crabmeat, flounder, tender shrimp, clams, mussels, artichokes and sundried tomatoes. It was beyond delicious and the portion was huge. We then indulged in the Tiramisu for dessert, which was decadent....My compliments to the chef and our server, who made us feel very welcome. Allora is also a BYOB establishment so it was nice to enjoy our very own selection of wine with our dinner....We will definitely be back and will recommend to friends...",
"We had a very enjoyable dinner at Allora on Friday night. It was the last night of restaurant week . We chose Allora because we are big fans of da Soli, having eaten there many times. They had a very appealing 4 course menu. All 4 of us chose different entrees, which were delicious. I enjoyed my salmon, but my wife's beef dish was even better The appetizer and first courses were the best. Thankfully, the portion sizes were modest, so we didn't feel stuffed at the end of the meal. The $35 price for Restaurant Week was a good value. Alora is located at the site of the La Posata, which we enjoyed. I thought they did a good job of making the place look more opened up . The decor was bright and pleasant. I can't say that Allora is as good as da Soli yet. But, we will return!"

"Seeing this new spot open on the weekend, we had to stop in on Sunday for some breakfast. Also, I should note, I have been waiting and waiting for the Roots on Whyte building to start coming to life. \n\nIt looks the \"Wheel\" is going to be a good place for sandwiches, snacks, coffee (certainly until the new Da Capo opens in the same building), and lingering. (Laptop note: lots of open outlets spotted around the room.)\n\nMy wife had a generous apple crisp crepe, with granola providing the crunch inside the powdered sugar covered crepe. I went for the Croquet Monsieur, which tossed an egg on top of the ham and cheese sandwich. A nice bechamel added some flavour to the gruyere and ham mix. The bread was big and thick. My only complaint, really, is that the bread was so big that there could have been a little more in the sandwich, the ham got a bit lost.\n\nIt's great to see a new neighbourhood spot like Under The High Wheel in east Whyte.",
"Well, I'm sorry. I was really looking forward to the opening of Under the High Wheel, but I have to say 'meh'. Today witnessed my third visit (but only second time successfully engaging a meal). The food is delicious, but the service and atmosphere are simply terrible. I was at the point of leaving (15 minutes in) when a waitress came by, slapped a menu on the table and left. Although I was there for an hour, I ended up having only had a cup of soup. I wasn't even able to order a coffee. Add to that uncomfortable seating, and a loud atmosphere (lots of sound reverberations off of the walls), and I must conclude that I will not become a regular customer. Which is sad, because I live only two blocks away and really thought this would become my new favourite haunt!",
"Had a lovely breakfast with a friend here - loved the waffles! They came with a perfect texture - a subtle crispiness on the outside with a good soft chewy core topped with creme and fresh berries. The coffee was nice and smooth and our waitress was friendly and attentive.\n\nIt could be that some of the earlier reviewers visited the restaurant experienced some human error. New projects are often like that, but from what I experienced, none of those issues still remain and the restaurant is finding its groove. That and the staff seem like they're open and receptive to helpful feedback if there's something you notice that would make your experience better. \n\nLooking forward to trying the spinach and feta crepes next time! That and the dessert selection looks temptingly sinful! ;)",
"It's hard to review a place just after they open, because they can still be working out the kinks. I think these guys have hit their stride.\n\nI headed there while waiting for my truck to be fixed and enjoyed a coffee and a scone on the patio. (Took a peek at the menu, and while everything looked yummy, the prices were a touch high.) The waitress was totally friendly and during my 45 minute stay checked in on my twice - present, but not overbearing. \n\nCoffee (from adjoining Da Capo) was fresh, and the scone - baked in-house - was amazing. I'll be back.",
"decor: clean, earthy, casual, californian\n\nfood: prices are are maybe 10-20% high compared to other places in Edmonton, but this is one case where you get what you pay for. every bite of my salads was bright, delicious, and healthy. my wife's panini was original and flawless. i will happily pay the feww bucks extra to go back. oh, actually my wife's drip coffee was insipid brown water. \n\nservice: a little pokey, but the restaurant was busy. \n\noverall: a great lunch spot for delicious healthy fare with relatively high but not unreasonable prices considering the quality of the food. coffee suspect.",
"clean, nicely designed space had a refreshing breakfast and great coffee",
"I really really want to love this place.\nI've eaten here a couple dozen times and would say it's about 50/50.\nWhile the food is usually good quality they are often out of my favourite dishes and with such a small menu I think that is very poor. \nThe service is usually terrible too. It is either way too slow or you get attitude. As a regular here I am always surprised at how rude the servers can be (one of which is a co-owner). \n\nThe last time I went Was with my whole family and everyones eggs were over done. I ordered an eggs benny (which is usually very good) but my eggs came way too hard. They were pale yellow yokes that crumbled. It took about 10min to flag down a server to tell them about our eggs and then we had a server tell us very rudely that \"that was the way they are supposed to come unless you specified you wanted them soft!\" She went to notify the kitchen and about another 15min later came back and said we could get new eggs as long as we hadn't touched the hard ones. None of us could believe this response! Our brunch had sat there for 25min at this point and as we were all starving most of us sucked up the cold hard eggs and had just eaten them. When you are paying $20 a plate plus a mandatory 18% gratuity for our party of 6 the eggs should be done properly!! They are eggs for gods sake! \n\nI have no problem paying top notch prices for top notch food. I have worked as a cook and server so I understand the inner working of the industry and I can't help but almost always leaving here disappointed. I keep going back as I like the location, atmosphere and menu. I also love that they use good quality local and organic ingredients. I really want to support businesses that serve good quality food. I just wish they could get it right more often then not and I wish the service didn't come with so much attitude!",
"This is an adorable little spot to grab lunch! It is sunny and bright with cute decor. The menu is good, all the ingredients are very fresh! There is an organic market place right next to them and I have a feeling that a lot of the produce comes from there.\n\nWhy only 3stars? I find that some of the items on the menu are just OK, not amazing. Some try really hard to be different, use a lot of healthy or interesting ingrdients, but then just don't taste that good. Others I quite like, such as the croque monsieur which is a radical take from a traditional croque; pork loin and apples. It's good, but it is absolutely way too large, I literally could not finish half of it (thank goodness for toaster-ovens!) They also need to step up their game with the beverage menu: 1 white and 1 red wine is not going to cut it! \n\nHowever, I do love the location and I also really love the cool, relaxed, laid-back-but-still-classy environment. I should also mention they do have a killer dessert selection and bake all of the treats in house I believe. So, I will keep coming to eat Under The High Wheel and hopefully soon as this place finds a foothold on East Whyte, they will continue to refine the menu and climb up the star ladder!",
"Tried out this restaurant today, and well..can't say I will rush back.\n\nWhen we finally were seated at a table, it was right by the 'please wait to be seated' sign. We had people standing beside our table while eating. No where else to move. I found the noise level very loud. Hard to carry on a conversation.\n\nWhat turned me off the most was when we were seated at the table, menus were just thrown down on the table, and we had to get our own high chair. (we had a 1yr old and another child with us). The waitress did come a few times for refills of coffee which was better.\n\nMenu is very limited, and really couldn't find too much that I wanted to try. Got the Traditional Breakfast which really wasn't that tasty.",
"Great food! Poor service\nI love the vegan gluten free options they have but sadly the service is not that good.\nWe were even charged an 18% gratuity of our large party which was only 5 people. Although I enjoy the food, it may not be worth the high prices and poor service that goes along with it. Servers are not that friendly or willing to answer questions. We also waited a while before being acknowledged and seated."

"Fresh ingredients, large portions, decent prices, fast, friendly service-what more do you need? I love Qdoba's food, especially the Burritos and the Taco Salad. My favorite Burrito is the Shredded Pork with Black Beans, Ranchero sauce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and hot sauce. Fast Food doesn't get much better than this.",
"Love the burritos. Used to be an Anna's fan up in Boston but am now a Qdoba convert down here in Philly. Fresh ingredients and fast service. The staff are polite even downright funny! Am already a regular customer.",
"Qdoba is the place where my fam and fiancé goes and the employees definitely knows our faces. We never had any problem with the food or the service. And there are lots of dishes to choose from. Plus we don't gave to worry about parking. Try it out.",
"There is so much I can say about Qdoba I simply don't have the time nor the space... but I will try!\n\nLet me start by saying those of you who are all \"Chipotle Grill\" this and\"Baja Fresh\" that don't know what a freshly made, great tasting burrito is until you've experienced the Qdoba Burrito. You simply can not get a better burrito that is not in a sit-down restaurant than at Qdoba in Bala Cynwyd. The are huge, tasty and fresh.\n\nThat being said, there is so much more to this place than burritos -- which makes it stand HEAD and SHOULDERS above Chipotle and Baja Fresh. The soups are incredible. THe tacos are as tasty as ever and while Qdoba lacks the salsa selection of a Baja Fresh, the flavors burst into your mouth like fireworks -- much better and fresher than Baja Fresh. The tacos -- hard and soft are scrumptious and the quesadillas are fresh and HUGE.\n\nThe staff here is super friendly and fast. They come around and bus your table (a la Chick-Fil-A). You simply cannot have a bad meal here, especially if you only have a short lunch break!",
"I was very disapointed. Half starved and just after reading some great reviews, I was charged $8.35 for 3 pulled pork tacos and a small coke. They were flavorless and watery and saved only by being submerged in cholula sauce (which is in generous supply and the reason for the single star). They're definitely chasing chipotle and running very far behind. I'm from houston, I love philly and the food here. I've been very impressed with philly mexican food and I'm not in love with chipotle. There's plenty of great mexican food in philly, but this place is not among them.\n\nMy friend says I need to try the burritos. Maybe I got it all wrong. possible. Maybe. If in a bind, half dead or at least in slightly hungry, I'll give it another shot.",
"Three Words: Mango Chicken Salad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but their Mango Chicken Salad is DELICIOUS and only available in late spring/summer.\n\nAlso good: Chicken Quesdaillas and Naked Burritos. Perfect for a nice summer lunch. I only eat here in the summer.",
"This is the Qdoba my coworkers and I go to on days when we actually get to leave our school for lunch. Don't let the long line put you off- it actually moves very quickly, leaving you the maximum amount of time possible for you to enjoy your burrito. Actually, now that I am thinking about it, I have never received such quick service at any other eating establishment. And they never mess up either.",
"Holy bejebus you made me fat. OK, I made myself fat by eating at your place but it's simply not fair. I am addicted to you and the whole earning-points-for-free-food deal is one nasty trick. I couldn't stay away. I couldn't even stay angry at you for ditching the chicken mole. \n\nWe had too much of a good thing, though, and I eventually had to say enough was enough. I couldn't do it anymore. You were slowly killing me. Literally.\n\nWell, I just want you to know that I'm doing much better without you. I've lost a lot of weight and I'm much happier now. I may still get weak and want to embrace you with open arms but I can't. I just can't. I have to stand my ground. \n\nThis is goodbye forever, Q. I'll always miss you and remember you fondly.",
"I absolutely hate fast food, but Qdoba is a place where you can get good food fast. I have to admit it I'm a fan. I know my son made this is daily food source for his senior year in high school and now that he's in college he visits the closest one near his school. The great thing about Qdoba is that they make everything so that you can see what they add. I'm am a salad lover and the Taco salad at Qdoba is a real treat. I have gotten the vegetarian with black beans and rice and also the chicken taco salad. The lettuce is romaine and I ask for it packed with lettuce which makes a nice base for the tortilla shell which really hold the salad...I'm not a big fan of the shell, but it is tasty and fattening. The corn salsa and regular salsa is tasty and the chicken is cooked in a nice spicy sauce...dressing is tasty, low cal and spicy and cheese and quac finish off the salad. It really is a satisfying meal.",
"Qdobaaaaaa! Oh my sweet Qdobaaaaa!!! I love to sing your praises...and I often do because that is how much I truly love you! I love your chicken and pulled pork quesadillas soooo much. Sooo fresh and tasty and always nice and hot!! A little splash of hot sauce and I am in quesadilla heaven. Like seriously...I go in here alone. I don't want nobody to talk to me nor do I wanna talk when I'm enjoying this quesadilla deliciousness!!! It's my \"Me Time\"! I am soo freakin in love with the seasoned guac.....Whoo hoo ! Also, the staff is super friendly. Alwayz obliging me with an extra dollop of sour cream. I'm yours forever, Q!"

"First visit to the is new place, we ordered and 15 minutes later they realized they had forgotten about us sitting in the corner. She finally brought my two slices before the bruschetta appetizer. She then asked again if we were eating here. I watched several people who came in after us get their orders and leave. I finished my two slices and we still don't have my husband's pizza or the bruschetta we ordered. It has now been 30 minutes. The manager is saying it will be 3 minutes after I walked up and asked him when it would be done. 35 minutes to get bruschetta, still no small pizza. If this is their standard level of service, we won't be back. A waste of $30 and I'm ticked that we tipped when we ordered. 40 minutes and we finally have his pizza. Mind you when we walked in and ordered, there was exactly 1 other person in the restaurant.",
"Have only had delivery from here and it has been amazing ....the food was fresh, hot and delicious. Wait time for delivery is standard ...the pizza is great...better than their Ybor City location. Eggplant Florentine pasta dish is my favorite. Very large portion that comes with a decent size side salad and 2 garlic knots. The prices are reasonable and portions are huge. I do know they are hiring as they mentioned needing new counter help and they just opened and it is understandable to still be working out the small kinks although I haven't experienced any problems at all...have ordered from there 4 times so far and will only order from them in the future ...enjoy",
"It was my first time ordering from New York New York Pizza in Carrollwood. The cheeseburger I had was great, they even accommodated my special order with it. The fries were amazing! I also ordered a garden salad, which was very fresh and they were not skimpy on the toppings. It took less than 30 minutes for them to deliver my food, so my food was still hot and my salad was still nice and cold. The delivery driver was very sweet and polite. I will definitely order from them again, next time though I will try their pizza!",
"Horrible. I was told 45 min to an hour. Two hours later a soggy piece of Dough was delivered after I called. What a shame. The first time I picked up the pizza and it was very good. I think I'll take a brake from these guys. Not worth getting pusses off on a Friday night.",
"A new, additional location for New York, New York pizza that opened in the past couple of months. As a former NYC resident I take my pizza seriously and so far this is the closest I have found to the real, no frills NY pizza parlor, where you can grab a slice or a pie. Like NY they have nice thick crust, and a perfect combination of cheese, sauce and oil . Fold the crust, let the extra oil drop off , close your eyes and you can almost catch the subway! \nPrices are great and typical of NY- 2 slices and a drink $6.00.\nIt's immaculate,and new, parking lot and delivery. The staff is super friendly and accommodating , particularly \"Cree\".\nPersonally, I think the ybor location may taste slightly better only because their ovens are older and more seasoned, but love the brand new store. Also lots of toppings and subs and other menu items.\nEnjoy and forgetaboutit!",
"I drove past four (not including national chains) pizza places in search of the perfect slice of New York-style pizza to end up here. Unfortunately, I'm totally underwhelmed by the pizza. I went simple and get two slices of pepperoni (with a soda for $6!), but I found the pizza just this side of too salty. I doubt I'll be back.",
"I called to place an order on a Wednesday afternoon with a wait time of 45 minutes to 1hr. After 1 hour and 5 minutes I called to see where our pizza was. (I had 4 kids waiting for lunch) 25 minutes later the pizza shows up cold. I called back and spoke to Freddy (The manager/Owner) to let him know what happened. He told me he would make me a new order and redeliver but wanted me to not eat the one that was delivered. I told him 4 kids could now wait another 30 minutes to eat since they already waited 1 hr and a half. Other than remaking my order he did not offer an other solutions. \n\nI have NEVER dealt with someone with such a LACK of customer service and professionalism. I highly recommend you ordering from some other pizzeria.",
"cheese pizza was off the hook. just moved right around the corner and have been looking for a place with a great pizza that delivers. delivery was fast and pizza was hot as hell when it got here, great job. the xlarge cheese pizza was one of the best cheese pizzas i have had in a long time. prices are competitive and the pizza is way better than any chain in their price range. $2.00 delivery fee which is fine with me bc just about everywhere does that now, so pickup is the cheaper route. def try their cheese pizza and it was so good i def plan on trying out some of the specialty pies.",
"We went in about 5 minutes before closing (something I hate doing but we were leaving the club and needed food), and they were actually very nice about the situation. I ended up getting 3 slices for 5$. You can't beat that. Thin crust, good flavor.. normal \"NY\" style pizza down in Florida.",
"Good pizza! I often get two slice meal for a quick dinner, comes with a drink. Only 4 stars because I wish it were less greasy. I get white pizza with no meat and still very greasy! Otherwise, tasty & consistent."

"We decided to try the new Wayback Burgers that recently opened in Voorhees. It is on Route 73, in the small plaza next to BJs and Lowes. We went in on a Sunday night around 7 and we had the entire place to ourselves.\n\nI have tried hamburgers all over the country, with Steak N Shake being my favorite and In N Out coming in a close second. I still think Steak N Shake is the best overall burger chain, but as far as the quality of the hamburgers go, this Wayback was top notch. They serve fresh, never frozen beef. There is no comparison in quality to the Five Guys chain. The menu has little variety, but if you are in the mood for burgers, this is the place. They do serve limited non burger items, such as grilled chicken, and even offer a Gardenburger, but what you go for here are the burgers. This restaurant is top notch and I wholeheartedly recommend it. Everyone in our party was very pleasantly surprised and we all felt that we had one of the best burgers of all time. \n\nI hope that they catch on and are a success.",
"If you are looking for a burger that is barely one step above Wendy's, this place is it. The burger and fries closely match the fast food counterpart. Nothing special...just a tad bit fresher due to food cooked to order. The bun was served cold, fries a bit under cooked, the meat similar texture of meat loaf.\n\nI don't foresee this place staying in business due to the following reasons:\n1. Too many workers for little amount of customers\n2. Expensive rent and furnishings\n3. Burger quality is OK",
"This is a new family burger joint located in the same plaza as Lowes and BJ's. The food is consistently good and the owner is always friendly when we eat there. Great burgers and the best onion rings in town.",
"Went here tonight, it's really a pretty good place. The food is fresh, really fresh. the staff were friendly. That's the upside...we found the room a bit cool for eating in, and the metal chairs really didn't help the comfort level. The food is served on metal trays, which also doesn't help the food stay warm, the fries especially became cool quite quickly. Another bright note were the onion rings...really very good. We'd go back, but probably on a warmer day.",
"I visited this restaurant after hearing my family rave about it for weeks. Unfortunately, I was greatly disappointed by the service and food. \n\nI visited the restaurant with three friends and we all bought full meals. My one friend requested that his order of fries be split half fries and half inion rings. The employee a the cashier eagerly agreed. After waiting for his food my friend received an order of only fries. When he confronted the manager he was told, \"Half fries half onion rings? The other employee promised you that? No we don't do that here are your fries. \n\nThe primary disappointment in regards to the food was the presentation. The burgers tasted ok, but they were carelessly tossed on the tray and the bums were clearly shushed.",
"Burgers and fries or chips. Better than 5 Guys. Good value, friendly staff.",
"Not sure what all the fuss would be about. Potential to be a good place, even went back a second time to be sure. First time the condiments that they \"have to put on\" were wrong. How they confused tomato with Mayo I'm not sure as I speak properly and succinctly. The order taker (Manager) was in such a hurry to suggest add ons and everything else on the menu that he didn't listen to what I wanted. When my mushy semi-warm onion rings came with my Mayo laden burger I just ate the rings and took the refund for the burger. There were only 4 people in the place but I didn't want to wait another 10 minutes for a burger. To be fair, I do go back a second time, the fries were acceptable but nothing new...again the order taker tried to up sell everything on the menu when all I wanted was a cheeseburger and fires. Not a double or triple or extra cheese or chips or a shake or whatever else she was asking me to buy. The burger was good so my star rating went up form a one.....but I'm not in a hurry to stop in again.",
"5/11/13-My Veggie burger should be called a rice burger, too much rice in it!!! The cheeesy burger I'm told was good, but greassssyyyy!!! The fries were just plain ole fries, nuttin to rave about. I don't think I will be coming back...maybe just to taste their onion rings, or a shake!!!",
"The food here is OK but no one is in any kind of a hurry so don't come too hungry because you'll wait even when they are not busy. \n\nThe burgers are thick and juicy no doubt but they are also in same league as Five Guys in the grease department. Sure, they have a whole bunch of different burgers but at the core it's still the same very greasy \"just okay\" burger being covered over with various different topping combinations. \n\nThe fries are thick but go cold really fast. Speaking of the fries, it also sucked that our fries were served about ten minutes after our burgers. That was due to the staff devoting all fries to a large group order that was being picked up. We ordered before they called their order in yet we were over half way done with our burgers before our fries finally made an appearance because of their order.\n\nNice.\n\nThe best part of the whole meal were the milkshakes at the end. But then again, if you follow the script on making those how can you screw that up?\n\nAnother major strike was that the drink area was a mess. No straws, maybe three our four lids along with soda splatter all over the counter. Also let's not forget the two garbage cans that were filled and the metal plates that they serve the food to you on that were piled sky high as well.\n\nYick!\n\nThis Jake's was really a let done all the way around.\n\nThe store was dirty and the fries in particular took a comically long time to come.\n\nThis is yet another example of what happens when you do chain dining at places that are not owned by the parent company. A total lack of standards and a very disappointing experience.",
"Stopped in for a burger on a Friday night. The place was packed with families. My husband had the Philly burger and thought it was mediocre. I ordered a Jake's burger Jake's way with jalapeños and mushrooms (additional toppings did not cost more). I can still taste the grease in my throat, might also be from the cheese I usually don't get on my burgers. What didn't make sense was that the Philly burger was more expensive than the Jake burger. The only difference between the two was the cheese. We probably won't be heading back. \n\nI give it three stars for the nice staff and clean environment."

"Now Chili's is Chili's is Chili's. Right? \n\nWrong. Chains don't get to treat people like crap. I'm not saying that every employee was a mess, but the waiter we had Friday was a hot damn mess. \n\nThis dude literally had no interest in making us happy in anyway shape or form. No pleasantries. No smiles. He barely appeared at our table. \n\nI was not pleased. And the drinks they made us were crap. That's just alcohol abuse.",
"They should just close doors or replace the entire management staff. \n\nCan't cook to save their lives, have things on the menu they no longer offer (or at least that's what they told me after my dinner arrived not to order). \n\nIf you get the ribs you are pretty set, they can't screw those up. However, if you try anything that requires an IQ of 50 to put together than you aren't going to be happy.\n\nThe waitresses and hostess are always nice, but something is seriously lacking in the kitchen and the management.",
"Best onion rings around (called onion strings), with jalapenos if you like 'em. Good salads too.",
"Wtf kind of server tells us (before we get our drink orders in) that they close in 20 minutes (he was over exaggerating) & that he wanted to be out as soon as possible?!\nAppreciate the honesty, dude. But, it wasn't professional. I've worked in the restaurant business before & never thought about ever saying this to any of the customer's who walked in 30 minutes prior to closing!",
"Have you seen the improved Chili's lately? I've been coming to this location for a few years now, since I worked down the street and it often was our lunch spot or after-work drinks/dinner spot. I agree, it was looking pretty raggedy lately. Even some letters on the sign didn't work. Shameful! I've never had any bad service that I can remember. I've stopped going there much after I switched jobs 1.5 years ago. Today I had a pleasure going there for a first time in a long while. I must say, it now looks great! Freshly painted, new sign outside, more modern decor. Just has another feel to it. Our server was very friendly, helpful, and polite. It wasn't busy, so he kept coming up and making sure we were happy. The menu seems different as well. They are doing the whole \"tex mex\" thing. I got chicken enchiladas and they were yummy! My dad ordered steak and shrimp fajita and was very pleased as well. Can't beat 2 4 1 drinks at all times!",
"It is a nice place!! A bit hidden but can be found. I had the new Chicken Rice bowl, I gave it 3 stars because although it has an amazing taste, the chicken and the avocado were really small. It does not look like the picture, but then again what food does, right!? But really what's with the mini bite sizes, but gotta say very flavorful!",
"I've been to this Chili's multiple times and cant say anything that stands out either good or bad. Only reason I ever go now is because my wife gets gift cards from her work. Nothing on the menu is great or even good as a matter of fact. The service is fair. Overall they have been going downhill for years.",
"We were craving some southwestern egg rolls so after a quick shopping stop at Tyrone Mall, my son and I stopped in here for dinner. I got kind of lost finding the restaurant, it's located down a winding road off the main road (I thought I took a wrong turn but nope! Just keep driving down and you'll see it!)\n\nGreeted and seated quickly. Manager on duty was very nice and attentive. Our server was friendly enough. Not the friendliest, but she seemed busy so eh, whatever. My son ordered a kid meal and I ordered the mango-chile tilapia. It came with some rice and broccoli. Ok flavors to the fish, kinda sweet and spicy but I wasn't like \"MMMM this is sooo good!\" I would not order again. The southwestern egg rolls and molten chocolate cake always taste the same no matter what Chili's you go to lol.\n\nThis Chili's location has those self order and self pay touchscreens at the tables. You can reorder drinks, food, and pay your bill at the table without waiting for a server. I ordered dessert from it and paid our bill through it.\n\nOverall, a good Chili's experience.",
"I typically try to avoid chain familyish restaurants, however, a co-worker told me about the new table-side guacamole and I had to try it! I'm disappointed to say it reaffirmed my aversion to this type of restaurant, as it was completely unremarkable and poorly presented...not at all like table-side preparation I've had at other (non-chain) restaurants.\nThe staff here appears to be completely untrained and overwhelmingly young and inexperienced. Our server had no idea what kind of beer was on tap and had to leave the table to ask. \nWhen she brought out our \"table-side\" guacamole, the dish contained already mashed avocado (prepared by the \"chef\" according to the server) and 6 little sauce dishes with onions, \"fire-roasted\" jalapeno (not nearly enough to add flavor), a large amount of salt, lime juice, green onion and cilantro. She began picking them up and dumping them into the avocado. When my husband asked what she was adding (it was cilantro), she replied that she had no idea and had only been on the job a month or so. \nIn the end, it was really kind of a boring guacamole...not really what I was expecting. It was overly salty in conjunction with the heavily salted chips and there were large chunks of avocado skin throughout.\nBy the time we got to eating, the hostess had seated two pretty noisy groups next to us and right behind me (even though the entire section was empty) so we quickly finished our drinks and paid the check. \nHonestly, we couldn't get out of there fast enough!",
"So first, There was a hair in our app, then there was hair mixed in my broccoli side. Then right before we left, I was trying to finish my drink, and I saw that there was a hair in the Orange peel in the drink. Even though the manager took the items off our tab, she didnt seem like she was concerned at all. Our server however, was awesome! He kept appolgizing and telling us how sorry he was. He got a huge tip, because he was great. But whatever is going on it the kitchen is not okay!! They need to clean it up back there."

"4 stars. Smoke bellows from the chimney indicating that chicken is being grilled over an open flame. At first sight, it seems like a sibling to the El Pollo Loco chain, but El Pollo Feliz is unique in its own right.\n\nFrom the outside, the quasi square building resembles any run-of-the-mill fast-food restaurant, with windows all around, parking along most of the perimeter, and a drive-thru lane. Once inside, you order over the counter, then go to your table (you seat yourself), also arranged much like a fast-food joint: soda fountain, salsa bar. Nothing to brag home about. Our order was taken courteously and accurately. While the locale is kid-friendly, there aren't long tables, so large parties would have to split tables. The restrooms were adequate.\n\nThe chicken is what sets El Pollo Feliz apart from other fast-food sandwich places. The chicken, grilled over an open flame, is available in different portions. We ordered a whole chicken meal, which included our choice of corn or flour tortillas, as well as rice, beans, a house salad, and fresh salsa. Two roasted jalapeo peppers were also included. The chicken was flavorful and most pieces were moist. The breast piece was a bit on the dry side, as one might expect. The beans were wonderful, with a true \"homemade\" taste, not the pasty or gooey type. The salad (mostly iceberg lettuce) was crisp and fresh but felt like it could use another spin to get all the water out. (The good part is that we know it's been washed.) Desert-wise, there is a great flan available. The only drawback in our experience was the relatively long wait for the food.\n\nVerdict: Honest and tasty grub in a low-ley setting. A great value, if you're not in a hurry.",
"My Indo buddy and I would frequent this place all the time back in college. Decent food, large quantities, and cheap prices. It looks like a run of the mill fast food place, but it's pretty good, and not fast food. Service is quick, and the chicken was always fresh. Recommend this place.",
"Yummy food. \nThis place has great smoked chicken for a great price.Its juciey and good.If you get a meal it includes rice, beans,flour and or corn tortillas, salsa, and salad.\nMy whole family like this place. Always satisfied!!!\nYou get alot for your money.\nTry you will like it",
"Of all my favorite chicken spots I have to say that this is my favorite. For one the chicken is the bomb.I've never tasted chicken like that before.So if your on a diet and need healthy chicken on the go this would be a good start. Also try the Orange whip drink its sweeet and good",
"Very good chicken. I would not have tried this place except for positive Yelp reviews. I was looking for a decent dinner to bring back to my hotel, and hit the jackpot with this place! The flavorful seasoned and smoked chicken cooked perfectly. Not greasy-fried so that after dinner you don't regret the meal. Good choice for take out!",
"Really good grilled chicken. Never too dry which can happen with other places like el pollo loco. The sides are good too, I really like the beans. Portions are big and nothing is too expensive, I recommend getting a few pieces of chicken and putting your own burrito together as opposed to getting a burrito from them.",
"Reminds me of Mexican cafeterias which is fitting because they have a Pollo Feliz in Nogales, Sonora! I ordered the 1/2 chicken plate, and wow, the chicken tasted like the best 3/4 lemon pepper rotisserie chicken and 1/4 fried chicken combined. Thin and crackly is the skin. The breast was pretty dry, saffron colored, and the vertebrae was attached to it. But the drumstick and wing were so delicious. The flour tortillas are authentic and there were a few sides - iceberg lettuce and tomato salad, salsa, pico de gallo, rice, and some great tasting pintos. Just over $7; I definitely will try the 1/4 chicken plate next time!",
"Pollo Feliz is a Mexican \"pollo\" chain that I believe originated in Sonora. It's a pretty standard chicken place if you've been to any other Mexican chicken joint. This place is a great deal, the chicken is juicy and delicious, the tortillas are fairly fresh and beans very savory. If you are starving or are trying to feed a lot of people this place can definitely fill you up for cheap. While it looks like any other fast food chain, the food here is many times better than KFC or Churches or other American chicken places. If you like chicken you are going love Pollo Feliz!",
"I so love this place, I cant possibly go to Tucson without making a stop for this very flavorful, juicy succulent chicken - crispy skin and all. I should also mention that I enjoy their tortillas and salsa bar. \nMy only complaint, wish that we had a location in the Phoenix area!",
"Stopped in here one day on my lunch break to grab a quick lunch in the drive thru. It took so long to get my food I thought they were killing the chicken right then. Besides the wait the chicken was very flavorful. Next time I will go inside and see whats going on. Look for my update."

"Main Line location( across from Wayne Station)with a culinary high end Nantucket pedigree,Cornerstone is a fantastic addition to the Wayne dining scene. Only issue will be getting seats( reservations highly recommend/a necessity) unless you wander in at 5 and promise to eat and leave quickly as there are only 15 seats. Tapas style makes it fun to share plates( but you won't) and the cheese and charcuterie plates are great. Did I mention it's BYOB? #Winning\nHaven't tried breakfast or Lunch yet but the menu looks great for that as well. Great guest chef series happening mid week twice a month I was told, and apparently Wednesday is a busy as a Friday/Saturday.\nGreat cheese shop if no seats available,and the owners and staff are fantastic and very accommodating. Fun crowd as well.",
"Nice job on the interior and food is good. The place is terribly let down by the prices. $55 for a small selection and portion of cheese/charcuterie it's almost laughable. Infact bets similar places I have been to in some of the most expensive cities in the world. Simply miserly for the price and quality. A real shame, maybe they're over compensating for the lack of alcohol revenue.",
"My husband and I had brunch here and there was no one else there... And we don't understand why! It was a delicious, interesting menu! The decor is so cute, and the staff especially the owner are super friendly and personable. They serve breakfast lunch and dinner. We will most definitely be back to try lunch and dinner too, with a bottle of our own wine.",
"Went recently for a prix fixe menu and when I made the non-refundable reservation I was promised a complimentary glass of champagne and the woman on the phone said there were only 2 seats left and made it sound like it was urgent to book now...so I did. When we arrived it was empty and only 1 other couple came for the first hour....and they were taking walk-ins for the rest of the night...the place was never more then 50% full before 7 (she made us book for 5pm!). The menu had some \"last minute adjustments\" (no more oysters---they were now an add on). While paying the $300 bill ($125 pp plus 20% tip) my boyfriend asked if we could get a slice before heading home because he was still hungry...and I was too. You would think you would be full after a $300 meal for 2....but we weren't so we got pizza and went home and I popped a bottle of champagne so I could have my glass that was never given to me at cornerstone. I will not return....unless I win the lottery and go on a diet that restricts my calorie intake. What a let down.",
"Had lunch the other day to see what the place was like and it was good. The egg souffle with brie and jam was light and fresh. The mussels was a nice large portion in a rich broth.\nThe brunch menu is limited to mostly breakfast type items. Nice people and the dinner menu sounded good, so might go back and try it. There was only 5 of us for lunch on a Saturday.",
"I am absolutely SHOCKED that Cornerstone was not yet on Yelp. The owners, Nick and Christine, truly know their stuff. This inviting space is perfectly cozy, as you enjoy your meal around the \"chefs kitchen\". You watch them prepare everything right in front of you. They offer something like 60 meats and cheeses, and are very selective in their choices. I have had quite a bit off the menu, and everything is incredible. The dessert is amazing, and blue fish is fabulous, and the crab cakes were some of the best I've ever had. My husband said the steak was outstanding. I cannot speak more highly of them. I love it so much I want to work there - I did offer myself as an intern, but I think they thought I was joking .. well I'm not :) This is a \"must go\"!!",
"Delightful dinner this evening at the Cornerstone which is a great BYOB tapas type restaurant. The staff is very friendly and I love the layout which is a large U-shaped table. I went with a friend and everything we had was wonderful. We started with a small cheese plate and then had delicious mussels and out of this world Brussels sprouts. We ended our great evening with a divine chocolate dessert. Can't wait to return to try some of the other offerings.j",
"Finally, the sophisticated culinary talents and ambience you usually travel to the city to enjoy have come to the mainline! From the intimate European feel of open kitchen and exposed beamed ceiling to the wonderful meats, cheeses and locally sourced produce it is a home run! Beginning with a beautiful charcuterie board with house made delicious nuts, then to the most succulent fresh oysters,followed by perfectly prepared homemade pappardelle pasta and an amazing filet which were all cooked. in front of us, it was a incredible experience. Throw in that it is BYOB and the staff is engaging and thoughtful you can't miss this gem of a restaurant!",
"Somehow my partner and I spent $50 on lunch here for 7 tiny pieces of mediocre cheese, bad crostini from a box, bland crackers, an ounce of salami and one bowl of soup. \n\nThe 'small chef's board' for $35 is enough for 1 not 2-4...and its $35. If we'd had 4 people, one person wouldn't have even had a chance to taste one of the cheeses, as there was only 3 small portions of it.\n\nThe bisque soup was fine, but not great. Props for using real lobster meat.\n\nMaybe the other items on the menu are fantastic, but the pictures of the 'chef boards' on the website are nothing like what we were served. We essentially spent $50 for two appetizers. \n\nUnbelievable.",
"Does anyone else think $35 is insane for a few pieces of cheese and some slice meat? That makes me not want to go back."

"Uccellino, which translates to 'little bird' in Italian, is located to the west of its two older sisters Corso 32 and Bar Bricco. The space is quite different from Corso and Bricco, as Uccellino is lit by natural light through a big front window and is more spacious with high ceilings and larger square footage. The dining space features neutral tones and minimalist decor, giving it a great modern, casual vibe from the moment you walk in. \n\nGiven the larger space, Uccellino can seat roughly 70-80 guests, and the top floor hosts a space for private dining. Reservations at Corso 32 are difficult to score without advance booking, and Bar Bricco can have long wait times, so you'll be glad to hear that half the seats at Uccellino will remain unreserved for every dinner service. How great is that?\n\nUccellino's menu features traditional dishes you would find in Central and Southern Italy. The menu is separated by multiple courses, in true Italian style: Fritti & Crostini, Antipasti, Primi, Secondi, Formaggi & Dolci. Among the multiple dishes there truly is something for everyone as the menu features some vegan and vegetarian options too. I didn't have trouble finding something I liked - my issue was trying to narrow it down to a few dishes as I was tempted by the whole menu! \n\nAfter ordering, every table gets a dish of olives for snacking. I'm not a huge fan of olives, but these green olives were brined beautifully with hints of orange and caraway, which complemented the buttery flesh and mild flavour.\n\nFirst to our table was the Potato Croquette ($10/5) made with parmigiano, lemon and nutmeg. The golden brown exterior had a nice crunch, like that of the delicious arancini at Corso 32. Breaking into the middle revealed a velvety mix of potato and fragrant parmigiano - a flavourful combination that makes these croquettes little umami bombs. \n\nOur next plate was the rustic Chicken Liver & Balsamico Crostini ($11/3), where the pate was spread across three large, lightly toasted crostini. The chicken liver itself was smooth and well seasoned, and I enjoyed the contrasting sweetness from the balsamic drizzled overtop. \n\nAs we waited for our main courses to arrive, the kitchen sent out a plate of beautiful Gnudi Verde ($18). The six spinach and ricotta dumplings took up the flavour of the fragrant sage butter they were cooked in, and they were delicious. The light dusting of parmigiano was the perfect finishing touch to give them a bit more flavour without overpowering the delicate gnudi. \n\nUnlike Corso 32 & Bar Bricco, Uccellino is utilizing dry pasta from Italy, so we had to try them out for our mains. The dry pasta from Pasta Setaro and La Pasta dei Martellii is exclusive to the restaurant in Edmonton, and diners can actually purchase packages to take home and cook.\n\nFor myself I couldn't pass up the Mezza Maniche Cacio e Pepe ($17) with Sardinian pecorino and fresh ground black pepper. Although simple, cacio e pepe is one of my favourite ways to eat pasta, and this dish hit the spot. The pasta was al dente with a great bite, the pepper carried a bit of heat, and the sauce was rich and clung to every bit of pasta. \n\nWe also ordered the Maccheroni ($19) cooked in a pigs head and prosciutto ragu bianco, and finished with a dusting of parmigiano. The dish had a nice proportion of meat to it and it was another great pasta with balanced flavours. \n\nThe Dolci portion of the menu offers four desserts, but I was particularly drawn to the Amedei Chocolate Budino. A budino is a dessert similar to a custard or pudding, so I was surprised to see the budino presented in the form of a slice of cake. On the first bite I fell in love - the texture was similar to that of a dense mousse, and it just melts in your mouth. The dark chocolate had just the right hint of sweetness, and the dallop of creme fraiche on the plate had a bit of tang that complemented the chocolate incredibly well. If you enjoy the Amedei chocolate truffles at Bar Bricco, you'll love this dessert. I thought that Corso 32's Chocolate Torta and Panna Cotta were my top desserts in Edmonton, but this budino is making me reconsider! \n\nOur visit was on the third opening day at Uccellino and we had a fantastic meal with exceptional service. I love that the restaurant is more casual compared to Chef Costa's other establishments, and the menu has a bit of a lower price point as well. The menu is fairly extensive and may possibly change from time to time due to seasonality, but there will be something for everyone. The bigger space will allow for more patrons and hopefully shorter wait times, which I'm sure many Edmontonians will be happy about. And with half the seats unreserved, that will allow for more spontaneous visits to the restaurant. The doors are now open, so make sure to stop by for dinner service from 5-11 PM Wednesday through Sunday!",
"Edmonton can finally welcome Chef Daniel Costa's third restaurant to our food scene as Uccellino opened its doors last week. Located next door to its sister restaurants Corso 32 and Bar Bricco, diners shouldn't have any problems finding the modern trattoria-style eatery.\n\nUnlike Corso 32 and Bar Bricco (which at times must be reserved weeks in advance and high in demand with the after-work crowd, respectively), Uccellino, or \"little bird\" in Italian, is more laid-back and casual with half of its seating reservable online or by phone whilst the other half remains open for every dinner service. This leaves a lot of wiggle room for those who ask on the daily, \"what do you feel like for dinner?\" like myself. Diane and I caught up over drinks and food last Wednesday, our 6:30pm meet-up resulting in a one hour wait time. Word spreads fast. We chose to peck at a nearby establishment until our table was ready (texting service available).\n\nThe space is remarkably light and airy, a contrast to previous tenant Transcend Coffee and feels quite larger than I remembered. Clean lines, monochromatic save one or two bright orange chairs, and slanted padded seating along the wall for the perfect post-meal slump. A private dining space is available upstairs for larger groups. I'm thinking birthday dinner anybody? The music is ambient, with the only words you'll hear are the lively conversations around you. Like Corso 32 and Bar Bricco, your neighbouring tables' conversations are within your ears reach -- it's cozy.\n\nThe drinks selection features a fantastic selection of Italian wines, continuing her sisters' menus next door, and a handful of cocktails. To kick off the night, Diane ordered a Bellini, made with Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco and fresh B.C strawberries -- a refreshing drink for a summer's day. I ordered the Negroni Sbagliato (Campari, Carpano Antica Vermouth, Prosecco, Orange, on the rocks).\n\nUccellino's dinner menu is a taste of Central and Southern Italy, more affordable, and divided into Fritti (fried), Crostini, Antipasti (appetizers), Primi (first course, traditionally pastas), Secondi (second course, divided into meats and Contorni, vegetables), Formaggi (cheese), and Dolci (dessert). Expect to pay up to $13 for the small bites, an average of $15 for appetizers, $19 for pasta, and $30 onwards for meats. As traditional in Italy, plates are meant to be shared and I'd highly recommend ordering a selection from each category for a well-rounded meal.\n\nI'm almost never a fan of olives but the green olives (Castelvetrano?) with a hint of orange, were brightly hued, crisp, and lovely to snack on. Our Cannellini Beans with Tuscan olive oil came shortly after, beautiful in the texture and a touch of rosemary. It would have been a shame to see the beans completely pureed into a smooth paste.\n\nI ordered the Maccheroni for myself, a white ragu of pig's head and prosciutto with Parmigiano. All pastas at Uccellino are imported from Italy, and the exact same product is available for purchase. Pasta Setaro and La Pasta dei Martellii are exclusive to the restaurant, something I need to buy once I clear up my pantry! The pasta itself was thicker and had a good bite, the ragu addictively delicious.\n\nDiane chose the Mezza Maniche Cacio e Pepe made with Sardinian pecorino and fresh ground pepper. A couple bites of her plate threw me into the world of rich, creamy sauces, attributed to the Pecorino Sardo (as opposed to its more well known cousin Pecorino Romano). If you like thick and creamy, this is your kind of dish.\n\nOur mains had actually took some time to arrive, something Diane and I hadn't really noticed or minded as we were playing catch-up, but our server was adamant that a dessert dish was on house. Andrea had previously raved about the Amedei Chocolate Budino, and so Diane was the first to jump on this dish. A budino is described as a custard or pudding, and so a chocolatey-rich cake slice was pretty intriguing. It was described to me to be taken like a much lighter brownie that melts in your mouth. With that description, the Budino absolutely delivered -- decadent from the Tuscan chocolate, hint of bitterness, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Paired with in-house whipped cream, I can see why this might be one of the most addictive desserts in Edmonton. It's absolutely perfect for those who don't have a sweet tooth.\n\nI'm always a fan of something fruity for dessert, so the Almond and Pear Tart was my choice for the night. A crumbly pastry with a moderate sugar content, I was happy with my choice and a beautiful way to end the meal.",
"This new restaurant had been open for two weeks when I visited on June 8th. It is the third restaurant from the owners of Corso 32, a very popular Northern Italian restaurant in Edmonton. The space is modern with light birch tables, smooth concrete and a combination of daylight and non-directional soft lighting from fixtures placed on a very high ceiling.\n\nOf course two weeks is not enough for a new restaurant to work out all the bugs, so-to-speak, but if you consider being greeted immediately upon entering the place as a sign of good customer service, Uccellino's could use some work in this area. I received glances from wait staff and the bar tender however no one approached me for a while to find a table.\n\nThe staff is nice enough and it's obvious they are getting accustomed to the service that management is dictating. However, to me, being greeted with a smile and a \"someone will be right with you\", is not reserved for chains and \"warmer\" restaurants. There is no hostess stand to speak of and that minimalist strategy does work well with the overall theme, however first impressions are exactly that.\nThe bar area is a stand-up bar (i.e. no seats). There was a woman who seemed a little uncomfortable reading a book and noshing on an appetizer while standing. Aside from the light stained tables, the seating seems a bit \"cold\" with the bench side being smooth concrete, definitely designed to get customers through quicker. Some modern leather pads would have helped with the overall comfort level.\nThe menu is a smallish collection of Northern Italian dishes. Our courses included the Christopher's Moscardini Red Wine Braised Baby Octopus with Char-Grilled Ciabatta. The bread was definitely the star of this dish. As for the rest of it, my tongue was still buzzing from the high sodium content hours after the meal. It was very salted and drowning in a red-wine and olive oil sauce. The baby octopus itself was tender.\n\nWe followed that with the Spaghetti Bottarga de Muggine which was cooked perfectly al dente but once again very heavy on salt. One of the partners in this business explained that the chef's style was \"heavily seasoned\" dishes and that they use strong pecorino cheese which has a sharp taste. However, all we kept thinking was, \"that was a lot of salt\". Any sodium conscious eaters would have a problem with it. When we asked for more char-grilled ciabatta for a little \"scarpetta\" action, we were brought plain bread with some olive oil which was probably due to the length of time to char the ciabatta. The waitress kept wanting to clear the table when we had dishes with food still in it. We had to keep saying \"no, we're not finished\", but again I would just chalk that up to the \"newness\" of the restaurant and perhaps the overall issue of tables for two, being too small for more than a few dishes.\n\nWe also had the Pollo a Matone which is chicken cooked on a stone. While the result was a very crispy skin, the chicken itself was a bit overcooked and lacked enough moisture. However, the star of that dish and the overall dinner in my mind was the Panzanella Tuscan Bread and Tomato Salad that accompanies the dish. It is superb and I would revisit Uccellino's just for that salad and more char-grilled ciabatta.\n\nOverall Uccellino (which is a translation of \"Baby Bird or Chick\", is a trendy minimalist restaurant that caters to a \"hipper\" crowd of curious millennials, that serves Northern Italian cuisine that is \"heavily seasoned\", however that Panzanella Salad comes straight from the South and comforts the palate with the char-grilled ciabatta and just the right amount of seasoning. We didn't get to the \"dolci\" which looked good based on orders for the table next to us. However, the double espresso was absolutely perfect with a great pour and proper espresso cusps and a great ending to an otherwise questionable meal.",
"Deliciously simple yet complex Italian food. Portions seem small looking at them but they fill you up to a shocking degree - between an appetizer, a salad, and the spaghetti bottarga, I was completely full and had to take some of my spaghetti home for a late night snack.\n\nServer was knowledgeable, gave a fantastic wine recommendation, and service was attentive - drinks were refilled and dishes taken as unobtrusively as possible. \n\nPrices were very reasonable considering how filling and good the food is. Would definitely go again.",
"Okay so listen up, this place was the bomb. If you want buttery melt in your mouth heaven, get yourself some Tagliatelle. You might be thinking, \"but like I'm not sure\"...KAY NO, seriously you are not living life unless you eat this gift to humanity. Also, please try some of their crostini magic. Specifically the guanicelle and ricotta. Those peas are jammin'. \n\nAnd that folks is the magic of Uccellino. The whole place has this chill modern vibe unlike anything else in Edmonton. It's like taking a vacation right in your own city. So go treat yo' self. You're welcome.",
"Amazing food, amazing cocktails, great service.\nLoads of vegetarian options, the spring salad was SO good. \n\nFood was very reasonably priced.\n\nOnly negative was the amount of times the servers tried to take away our plates. It was almost a battle for them to leave the plates on the table. \n\nCan't wait to eat here again!",
"Adding to Costa's empire is Uccellino, conveniently located beside sister restaurants Corso 32 and Bar Bricco.\n\nM and T met up with me on a Saturday evening to see if we could wrangle our way to an open table. Half the tables are for walk-ins and we decided 6:30pm wouln't be that busy, right? Think again. Already full, we headed over to a nearby spot on 104 Street to grab some bites and drinks. Luckily, we didn't have to wait too long. A text was sent to our phone about 40 minutes later.\n\nBar area when you first walk in. I swear there's a certain requirement to work here - hipster and tats. Uccellino is much more spacious compared to its counterparts. The mezzanine can be rented out for parties of 16 but it's a $65.00 set menu for parties of 8 or more. That doesn't include GST or gratuity FYI.\n\nLooks like some prices have increased since my visit so check their website for that.\n\n- Lambrusco - while we were at the bar, M ordered a glass of lambrusco. Think it was pretty normal price - $13.00 for a glass.\n- Aglianico - full bodied red wine from Southern Italy. M and T wanted to ball out so we grabbed a fancy bottle of red to share between the three of us. I'm no expert but this was full bodied with musky berry undertones.\n\nI should probably also mention that we got to watch our server struggle to open up the wine bottle. She somehow managed to get the cork jammed and lucky for her, one of her co-workers saved the day and bottle for that matter. When you're paying $$$ for a bottle, you expect better service than that. Lucky we're so nice and let it slide.\n\n- Green olives - complimentary to start (you can also find these at Bar Bricco). These were a great snack. I got hints of orange. Crisp, delicious, satisfying bites.\n\n- Christopher's moscardini ($17.00) - red wine-braised baby octopus with char-grilled ciabatta. Not the most aesthetically pleasing plate but the octopus is nicely seasoned and tender.\n\n- Panzanella ($15.00) - tuscan bread and tomato salad, cucumber, red onion, lemon and olive oil. This was one of the most delicious salad I've ever eaten! Seriously, if salads tasted like this, I'd be eating these every meal. Incredibly fresh, addictive and the tuscan bread added a great textural element to the dish. Superb.\n\n- Polpette ($17.00) - tomato-braised pork meatballs with pangrattato and basil. So very tender and moist with a lighter tomato based sauce that didn't overpower the meatballs.\n\n- Farotto ($22.00) - this was their special of the evening. Spelt risotto with morel mushrooms and other foraged goodies. The mushrooms were terrific. Think this might have been my first time having spelt but it had an enjoyable mouth texture, along the same lines as farrow.\n\n- Maccheroni ($22.00) - pig head and prosciutto ragu bianco and parmigiano. Flavours were well balanced and pasta was perfectly cooked.\n\n- Gnudi verde ($23.00) - Sundog Farm spinach and ricotta dumplings, olive oil and parmigiano. These were delicate pillows but this was probably my least favourite dish of the night. The flavours were pretty subtle and didn't do much for my palate.\n\n- Char-grilled leg of lamb ($31.00) - roasted eggplant, swiss chard and salsa rossa. There was no swiss chard on our plate so they must have ran out. Instead, it was peperonata (sweet red bell peppers). The lamb was divine. Incredibly flavourful and tender, if you like lamb, it's a must. Not to be outdone, the sides of pureed eggplant and salsa rossa were just as delicious.\n\n- Strawberry sorbetto ($7.00) - it might be worth coming to Uccellino just for their sorbetto. This was absolute heaven. You can tell it's made with real strawberries. Intense, full on strawberry flavour. Maybe Costa should open up a gelato/sorbet place next? I have no doubts it would kill in Edmonton.\n\nOverall, our meal was great. Yes, it's more pricey than the average restaurant in town but that's what you have to pay for when you want quality. It's actually quite reasonable if you come with a group and share a couple dishes (and skip out on the drinks). Already looking forward to my next visit!",
"The food definitely deserves 5 stars, however the miscommunication between hostess/bartender/servers made for an initial unpleasant experience. On the other hand our server Ashley was exceptional which ensures that we will be back again! Make reservations ahead, very busy on weekends!",
"Best experience for food and service. We shared our dinner and got desperate desserts. Everything we had was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant",
"Visited this place during my two day visit to Edmonton. Located downtown, this place is easy to miss with a subtle signage on the outside of the restaurant. However, I don't think that deters anyone from coming as the place filled up quick from when we arrived at 5pm when they open. \n\nThe restaurant layout is interesting, narrow but long. There are seats on the first floor and also on the second. There was also a separate room with about 8 seats upstairs, but not much privacy as it was a glass wall to separate the regular dining area and the room. The washrooms are located in the basement which means another set of stairs to go down if you are sitting on the second floor - needless to say, this restaurant is not friendly to anyone who are in a wheelchair and/or crutches, etc. \n\nWe made reservations in advance, which thank goodness we did, because as mentioned, the place filled up quick. They said they save half the seats for resos and the other half for walk-ins which I think is a great idea to cater to various people. \n\nWe ordered the duck liver crostini and the ricotta cheese and arugula crostini. Both were delicious, with the duck liver crostini being much heavier. I would recommend ordering this if you have a larger group to share with, but the crostinis are served in threes and very generous in portion. I felt like ordering two crostinis were too much bread, and it could most have likely been a smaller meal on its own. \n\nFor the entrees, we ordered the tagliatelle and lamb to share between the two of us. The tagliatelle was rich and heavy, and the pasta was cooked perfectly - seriously, not too firm but also not soft and soggy and gross! Literally perfect. I think this dish is great to share because it would be too heavy for one person to eat one whole portion, but it is delicious. \n\nThe lamb was served with a side of peppers? And some kind of green mush..? The plating was great but I did not care for either of the sides. The veggies added no texture or taste to the dish, so I only ate the lamb and left the rest. \n\nFor dessert, we opted for the fruit sorbet - plum, pear, and white grape. My favourite was the white grape with the refreshingness of a sorbet and natural sweetness. I enjoyed the pear but did not like the texture as I don't like the texture of a regular pear (a bit of grindiness if you know what I mean?). The plum was too tart for my tastes, but everything was most definitely made from fresh fruits and you could really taste it. \n\nOverall I would recommend trying this place. I took off a star because of the sides on the lamb entree, but also because once the place became more full, it got extremely loud and it was hard to carry a conversation. I would like to be able to enjoy my food and also talk to whoever I am dining with."

"Tucked into the corner of a small shopping center, it's easy to miss this restaurant. My advice - don't miss it! Full menu, but we stopped in for lunch. We started with the Fat Boy dessert, then added spicy crab soup, nachos and the Strawberry Spring Salad. It is huge, and by far one of the best salads I've eaten, with mixed greens, fresh sliced strawberries, candied pecans and bleu cheese crumbles. Plenty of food, we took home most of the salad and nachos. Also 9 beers on tap and good selection of bottled wines.\n The server was very pleasant and attentive, but did not stalk us. The atmosphere is casual, with a nice mix of current music. Appropriate for date night, family night, or single person who watches the tv screens.\n We will be stopping there the next time we head that way to try some other selections, there were a lot more that looked interesting.",
"Great Pub Food; Best burgers for Miles Around and a meat lover's place,\nalthough the menu is broad enough for all and the salads are exceptional as well. The owners began as caterers so the focus is on good food. There's a dining room and separate bar, both comfortable. A fine collection of hot sauces! Take it from a regular.",
"Great wings, burgers and beers. Kids were happy with their meals and their dessert. Very quaint, cool atmosphere. Have returned with several times with friends who have all really enjoyed it as well. Ordered take recently and was pleased with the results.",
"We've been eating here regularly for about 4 years. It is one of our favorite restaurants. Never had a bad meal. Everything is fresh, the service is good. We've taken many others here as well and they all love it. Our fave meals are burgers (too big for me), fried chicken salad, and ribs. There's a small bar in the back.",
"The atmosphere is great. Its spacious yet still cozy. There is an excellent selectiong of beers on tap. The smell of BBQ was strong and pleasing. It made me even more excited for my meal. I ordered the 3 cheese and Bacon Burger because the owner told me it was their best. \n\nThis burger was really good. It was served on a toasted bun with lettuce, ripe tomato and red onion. The cheese was melted wonderfully and was still gooey. It was cooked exactly how I asked for it. The fries that came with it were good, a little well done for my taste in fries. \n\nThe burger was a winner. I will definitely be back to try the wings and the ribs.",
"So, husband, myself, and three tween daughters hit 2 guys on the way home from Lancaster. First, hard to spot shopping center. Next, entrance was nice, but deceiving. Seemed like bistro like until you get past the host stand. Then, just a pub restaurant. Dining room needs a good clean and paint job. Bathroom fairly clean.\n\nFood...great wings- we ordered them without sauce and 3 sauces on the side. Great way to go. Chocolate chili- fantastic. Strawberry blue cheese pecan salad- mom and dad loved 1 daughter tried...not really. Burgers- excellent...three cheese bacon and a classic with cheddar. Kids meals- ribs 7 ribs finger licking good...steak- good, good size too.last few restaurants did not give enough food to fill the girls. This was just right! Great beer selection. Also we ordered their 1/2 an 1/2 option (1/2 salad/1/2 burger). the salad was enough for both husband and I to share as well as was his chili.\n\nEven the buns were great!",
"This was a good spot, small and kind of a 'Chain' feel to it when I was expecting more of a dive but the wings were excellent as were the ribs.",
"Went to new greenville site. Had half a sandwich and half a salad. BLT was great and the strawberry fields salad was so big! Ate the sandwich with a few fries for dinner and saved the salad for lunch the next day. Bar was small, wine was not fresh and there were a ton of fruit flies! Very buried in the center. I would try them again.",
"Small restaurant in a small strip mall, but the food is good. Our group of 5 stopped by for some burgers. We started with chicken wings, which were great. A lot of meat on them. Burgers were HUGE! Even being starved, I couldn't finish it. A big bonus is that they will cook the burger the way you want it...rare is actually rare. This is a plus since if you are lucky enough for a place to ask you how you want your burger, it always comes out cooked longer than you want it. I also ordered a milk shake, which was about average.\nThe service was not rushed, but not slow. At first I thought our waitress was unhappy, but was very friendly and just didn't smile. She was very patient with our youngest guest (a two year old), which is hard at the end of your shift.\nI would definitely go back for another burger.",
"PB&J Wings are amazing~ It tastes like a tangy BBQ with a nutty sweetness. It is a great complement to the regular hot wings! I'd come back, but for wings, it is a little expensive. I wanted to try their chocolate chili, but my compadres told me it's stupid to order soup in a restaurant so I buckled under the peer pressure. But when I return, I shall order the soup!!!"

"Tried this place late one night. Seemed to have a friendly crowd in their 20's and 30's. The menu looked good but it was too late. I chatted with a lady bar fly that was a local and very friendly and a little \ndrunk lol. I would come back here and watch and some games and have a bite and a beer. Cozy little Gulf bar!!",
"Personally I love this place. They have huge portions of food and some really great selections. Shepherd's pie, burritos, pulled pork sandwiches, wings, and fish and chips. They have live bands, a HUGE patio with tons of seating and a second bar out there. They also have a volleyball court which I play on with my friends anytime I get the chance. \n\nThe age range is around 30 to 40's with a lot of the local flare. It has a warm cozy homey time feeling and it makes you want to stay all night and drink. I love coming here when I'm in the area.",
"Awesome place. Glad to see back open new kitchen crew called rescue me@ skinnys. Bar food done very well had some interesting specials. Ice cold beer and four days of live entertainment played some volleyball and corn hole and family friendly nice spot close to home",

"Skinny's definitely ranks high up there as one of the best dive bars. It's an open air bar, although there are fans circulating air. Covered seating is mostly at the bar with a few tables scattered about. There is a large outdoor seating area towards the back with its own bar. We went during the early afternoon (about 14:00) on Friday, 13 July 2012, so that back part part was not open for business. It looks like it gets rowdy at night. I'll have to go at night next time I'm in town.\n\nPrices were on the \"I-love-to-drink-for-cheap\" end. I was having $2.00 Coors Light pints on draft and my wife was having $1.00 Bud Select pints on draft. See what I mean about the prices? Bottles are available for those preferring this method of imbibing this glorious Dionysian brew. Although we did not order food, several people were munching down on large-portion dishes.\n\nThe clientele is my type of people: blue collar folk. Everyone was happy, talking, and generally having a good time. Nobody looks at you funny. Speaking of people, the service was friendly. We never waited long for a beer and it was always served with genuine friendliness.\n\nParking is available on an adjacent lot.",
"First time visitor. Philly sandwich was good, the oysters 5 different ways were EXCELLENT! Met one of the owners Jennifer, she was super nice and the bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Met more nice and friendly people as well. Great atmosphere. Very good prices. Great place! Will be going back!",
"One of Hudson's best drinking and bar food establishments! Food is hot and drinks are cold. Owner Pat has done a great job staying on top of the service and the menu. Food is def above average for a bar. The specials are also top notch (dollar wells on Tuesdays etc.).. \n\nThis is a very casual Hudsonian type place, no white tablecloths, but the burgers, loaded fries, and other fare are tough to beat when you want to kick back with locals. Live music, karaoke, and sports on tv, as well as a Volleyball court are also offered. Don't ask to hear one of Pat's jokes if you are easily offended or politically correct. :) \n\nWide selection of bottled beers and a good selection of beers on tap. The mixed drinks we had were made properly and the service was attentive and enthusiastic. And we are demanding customers! :) Only drawback for me is the on 19 location. Be safe and be aware that police patrol this area for drunk drivers. Don't do it.",
"My husband and I have eaten at this place three times now so I feel pretty safe in giving this place a BIG thumbs up! The food is excellent and the beer choices seem unlimited...I had a banana bread flavored beer yesterday! Anyway, you can get beer anywhere but the food here is fantastic! Everything thing we've tried seems to be fresh and made from scratch, from the jalapeno poppers to the onion rings to the burgers. If you like spicy wings - my hubby recommends the hot sauce but I'm partial to the house sauce. Oh yeah, and the hubs raves about their oysters but you won't catch me eating any of those! Don't let the exterior fool you - there is GOOOOD food inside!! The only bad part, it's an open-air bar so it does get HOT inside, even with the gigantic fans blowing!"

"This has to be one of the best casual Italian restaurants in the area! The ambience is nothing to write home about (industrial tile floors, generic diner booths, vinyl covered kitchen chairs), but the food...ahhh the food makes up for anything the ambience lacks. Gino's is a BYOB with no corkage or glass fee. Start with the sauteed spinach appetizer...hot and garlicky deliciousness in every bite! I also highly recommend the frutta dimare (ask for it spicy!), a mountain of al dente spagetti studded with clams, mussels, shrimp and scallops...absolutely awesome! They have a multitude of seafood specials (especially on the weekends) as well as pasta specials daily. The service is casual and friendly...many of the waitresses have been there for years and are like family. You really cant go wrong with Gino's...we've been coming here for years and have never been disapppointed!",
"I completely agree with the other reviewer. This place looks very plain, more like a normal pizza place, and not enough seating as you wait for your table. However the service is awesome, all the servers are great, and when they aren't to busy at the end of the night will even sit down and have a drink with you. The BYOB is the best part becuase you aren't running up a huge drink tab on a night out. Two people can go out and spend $40 and be completely full. The portions are big and totally affordable. There are entrees are $10 to $20 and they always have specials. I get the Combo platter almost everytime, but the gnocchi is good too. You also get fresh bread and salad, which are both great. Essentially we have been there a lot over the years, and have taken family and friends and have never had a bad meal. \nOn a side note, you can call ahead. Do that on a fri or sat so you are not standing around packed like pickles!",
"Gino's has moved a few doors down from there old location. We were afraid that the food/service wouldn't be as good because they expanded the restaurant.I'm happy to say it seems even better and it is beautiful inside.\n\nThe blush sauce,chicken/veal parm and the calamari are my personal favorites. Added bonuses ...it's a BYOB and a salad comes with most meals. The staff was super busy but still on top of things.",
"We made our first visit to Gino's since their move next door. \n\nPros:\nThere are two dining areas now and it's much bigger. We tried to make a reservation (they only do for 5 or more) but for our party of 4 at 7pm on a saturday night we got seated right away. The bathrooms are very nice as well.\n\nOur meals were very good, as we experienced at the old ginos. Prices seem to have gone up a buck or two, but the portions are still large. I got the frutta di mare (mussels, clams, scallps, shrimp) was was pleasantly suprised. There were a ton of mussels/clams, enough for 2 full dinners worth!\n\nCons:\nOur waiter wasn't great. An older guy who seemed to have the \"i'm too good to be here\" attitude. He had no personality, and only came back a few times. He also had a lot of tables, too many probably.\n\nWe were charged a $2 corkage fee. Now, I don't remember this at the old location. Also my parents did not encounter this on their visit. Maybe our waiter didn't like us either. No mention of fee on the menu (not that I saw). Will definitely ask about this next time.\n\nOverall a pretty good meal. Will go back again! ($6 off coupon in the entertainment book!)",
"This is a nicer pizzeria which serves a variety of Italian food.\n\nThe food, prices and atmosphere are fine. Service, however is mixed. On one occasion, for instance, we received the wrong item and the staff merely argued with us (We do know the difference between cheese and meat tortellini).\n\nWe used to enjoy it more, but it has gone downhill.",
"My family had been coming to this place for well over a decade and I still enjoy getting take out when i visit the area. The place is owned by a really good, friendly family. They have great pizzas, large pizzas. The entrees are classic Italian, and they offer some pretty good choices on the specials. I'm not one for really eating out Italian since it's one of the easiest cooking styles to replicate at home, but I really like Gino's take out.",
"For being a small unassuming place about 45 minutes from my home, I still come here quite often. I was introduced to it by friends who live in the area about 5-7 years ago. I loved the old location's ambiance...the new place is very pretty inside but there was just something about the tiny old spot next door. \nThe service is pretty hit or miss, but the food more than makes up for it. My all-time favorite is the baked ziti with eggplant. Very simple Italian dish, but it is to die for. Their sauteed spinach is another favorite.\nHuge portions, reasonable prices, and great for a group. One of my all-time favorite restaurants.",
"The pie was fantastic. The hubby was practically salivating as soon as he opened the box. We ordered a plain with extra sauce, and they ended up making it red top style, reminiscent of our all-time-jam, Alex's Pizzeria in Manayunk. The sauce was thick and very flavorful and the pie had the perfect amount of cheese. The crust was good - the hubby thought it was great - but it was still a bit doughy around the edges for my taste.

"Outstanding restaurant !! Dined here on 8/6/2011 with two others. dishes were Veal Parm, Spaghetti with Scallops, Shrimp and Crabmeat, and a Manicotti dish. All of the entrees were outstanding. Great food with large portions at a reasonable price. This place is top notch and one of my favorites. I shall return !!!!",
"We hosted a funeral luncheon at Ginos on 11/17/11 for approximately 100 people. The food was wonderful and the service superb! Staff was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal and afterward. My family and I were very pleased and we received multiple postive comments from attendees to the luncheon. I would definitely recommend this restaurant."
