"Great location. I go here at least once a week to drink some tea and work on my computer. I also love the new fruit and chicken salads. This location is always very clean and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Management seems to really be on top of their game as well.",
"Love this location, tomato soup\nand bread is the best. Great staff always feel welcome here.",
"My friend's favorite bread store. \nA very convenient and fantastic place for the person who are in a hurry. \nThey served healthy food.\nLove the soup and bread, especially the honey wheat. \nThe perfect staff !",
"I had attended a business meeting nearby and we wanted to find a spot to grab some lunch close to the highway. Panera was it. The service was fast and the lunch met Panera standards. I was pleased to find iced coffee at the beverage bar and it was nice and strong.\n\nI can always count on Panera for even quality and good value.",
"I've really enjoyed this Panera location since it opened. However, it seems as though the staff is beginning to slack-off quite a bit.\n\nAbout 1-2 times per week I'll grab a cup of coffee on my way into work. There are a few friendly staff members, but there is one girl who isn't very warm and fuzzy. Otherwise the coffee is generally stocked & fresh (within the hour).\n\nI've noticed food wait times becoming longer and the order accuracy becoming weaker. This being said, the staff is pretty nice when mistakes happen and quick to fix the problem. On the other hand, I've been quite a few times recently when it's been moderately busy, but nobody cleans tables. This happened to me yesterday: I ended up having to sit at a not-so-clean table by the back door and was pretty cold the entire time.\n\nAlthough this review highlights some of the more negative things, I genuinely do prefer this location over most others.\n----\nUpdate:\n\nIt seems as though they've got their act together & hired newer staff members who are genuinely friendly - HUGE plus! My previous review rated this location a 3, but I'm definitely bumping it up to a 4. \n\nThe dining room is clean much more regularly as of late & the staff is much more attentive to dishes at the yeah areas. I definitely give kudos to the management team & the entire staff for pulling it together since the last time I wrote a review.",
"The best combo, \"healthy\" food and a quiet place. I love to go their for lunch, and get the two halfs; salad/soup and a sandwitch. I usually add bakery item for a dollar and have it as to-go. I highly suggest getting theor card, because you can get points and rewards if you spend couple of times eating their\n\nNice to study, and clear your brain when you need a rest from your place.\n\nDuring cold weather I recommend getting the Chai Tea Latte. This is my favorite of all time.",
"$6.99 Tuesday's Dozens. Get your favorite 12 bagels for only $6.99 on Tuesdays. Convenient call ahead ordering and pick up. Fresh breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Get your Panera Rewards so you can start banking bonuses. Chicken Sorrentina Pasta is my current favorite.",
"This is a normal Panera Bread location with all the delicious bread options you're used to. We came here for breakfast, which is something I hadn't done before, and were taken care of quickly. The food and service were good, the restaurant was clean, and we left happy. End of story.",
"As most everyoneknows, the food is always delicious at Panera.\n\nI went into the Avon Panera this morning to study a little before I went into class. Was happy with the coffee and bagel I had, but the restaurant itself was a little disheveled. It looked as if no one had been around to wipe the tables or pick up the eating area. Coffee cups and dishes were just sitting out and the tables themselves were dirty. The people behind the counter were friendly enough, nothing out of the ordinary. \n\nI haven't been in here for a while, and now I remember why. Just another corporate chain restaurant in Avon...",
"I almost always forget to stop at Panera because they are walk in and not a drive thru, and I usually like the convenience in the morning. Let me tell you, this location is worth parking the car and going in. Service outstanding, selection outstanding! If you love fresh bagels and pastries this is a great place to stop for breakfast. Their menu is extensive, but I like to keep it simple with a signature bagel, a nice spread, and a good robust coffee. Each time I've been, I have been in and out within 5 minutes. Definitely a good healthy stop on my way to the office."

"This place always has a long line, and for good reason! Everything is yummy! My favorite dish is the salmon with the red curry sauce over white rice and broccoli...getting hungry just thinking about it! The pad Thai is very tasty too and I'll usually order it when they either run out of salmon or there is a huge backlog of salmon orders (it's just that good!) and I'm short on time. The shrimp coconut soup has a light creamy flavor with a hint of lemongrass and is topped off with cilantro. I'll usually order the soup with an order of spring roll, but be aware that they give you 2 spring rolls with an order. I usually eat one at lunch and save the other one for later. Another popular dish is the skewered Thai BBQ chicken which is quite tender and smothered in their sweet n' sour sauce. They also have a chicken basil dish that my coworker raves about. If you are in the Reading Terminal, I highly recommend that you stop by and try it out, you won't be disappointed.",
"I only get the chicken yellow curry. It's so good that I just can't bring myself to get anything else. \n\nIts a great spot to grab lunch. They have $2 chicken and lemongrass soup that's acutally big enough for a meal size portion. My friend always gets the salmon so it must be good but like I said, I'll never know.",
"OMG!!!! Do not let my secret out. $2.00 Tom Ka Gai can not be beat (the most addictive Thai Coconut Soup - with chicke or shrimp - for $2.50 - or just vegetarian.)\n\nI love the pad thai and curries, too.\n\nCASH ONLY and you don't need much - for around $6.00 you can get a full delicious Thai meal. (Bring some home tonight - the eat-in ambience leaves something to be desired.\n\nYUM!!!!!!",
"A Thai stall in Reading Market, the food is ready made and waiting in buffet trays, so there is no waiting. You can sit at numerous tables scattered through the market. Ok for a quick to-go order, and the portions are a good size, but as far as Thai food goes, not so tasty. I got the lemongrass soup with chicken, yellow curry chicken, and salmon, based on what I had read on here. The soup was too salty / fish saucy and lacked the complexity / aromatic flair it should have (e.g. more galangal and lemongrass). The yellow curry was simple and bland. The salmon was well cooked and a good portion for the price, but the sauce lacked the typical Thai kick. It needed more basil, more lime, more chili, more umph. It reminded me of mall food court food. I thought I could make every one of these dishes better. I am not Thai, but I have to confess, I have lived in both Thailand and Thailand's foreign province of Los Angeles.",
"I'm not a real Thai eater, I pretty much ONLY get the salmon dish, the egg rolls, and the BBQ skewers here. They are SO tasty! I love it! This is my favorite lunch spot at RTM.\n\nHowever, this place is also the reason I learned to NOT come around lunch time. The line can snake all around the stand. It moves pretty quickly, though, except when they have to cook more food, then you're screwed, haha. I haven't been here in a long time, but when I come back, I know I'll be ordering that salmon again. YUM.",
"You absolutely cannot beat the price and the flavor of this place. I've tried almost everything and have never been disappointed. The portions are right on, while at other Thai places, they can be too small. I also buy Thai cooking ingredients from there, which can be really expensive if you get them at the supermarket or the spice terminal. The staff is friendly too and very fast. I only wish they would make some fresh Thai iced tea... the canned stuff just isn't as good!",
"Having worked downtown and frequenting the Reading Terminal Market often for lunch....this is one of the hidden gems.\n\nThe line is always long at lunchtime (a good sign no?) and most folks are getting my favorite dish....the grilled salmon in a coconut curry sauce over steamed rice and broccoli. For a great meal under $10, it can't be beat.\n\nDo yourself a favor and try it out.",
"I was really psyched up for this place after reading the reviews and seeing the long line around the counter. Almost everyone ahead of me ordered the salmon, which did look good, but I went with shrimp pad thai.\n\nThe pad thai was just okay. The noodles were good, but they were cold. There were too many bean sprouts on top and I could barely make it through to the noodles. The shrimp were a good size and I think there were 5 or 6, making it a good value, if the shrimp weren't cold! I saw the lady pick out a few shrimp from a bowl sitting on the counter for my dish, no heat at all. The flavor was okay, but not as good as expected. \n\nI'll go back just to try the salmon, but I would not get the pad thai again. Pho Xe Lua, Viet Thai Restaurant on Race St. a few blocks away is much, much better and my favorite place in Chinatown!",
"Sometimes you pay a lot for food and the food is good, but not excellent. However, the service was incredible and makes the price worth it.\n\nOther times the food is cheap, and makes you feel as if you just drank a bucket of Crisco and a block of Velveeta.\n\nLittle Thai Market is cheap and delicious. The food comes quick, even when a line is starting to wrap around the side of their \"stall\". Highly recommended for the vegetarians out there.\n\nThe nice thing about their location as well, is that you can go find dessert in the form of some local fruit or baked goods.\n\nThe bad thing about their location is that it is tourist central, which makes for great people watching. Sometimes I like my AZN cuisine to be found in an out of the way strip mall.",
"Little Thai Market is the jewel of reading terminal. Fast cheap and so full of flavor. The salmon is my go to dish but the curry chicken is a close second my friends. My advice to you is to check it out soon and always get extra curry sauce. khraawng mitr!"

"Just finished mangling my chocolate-pudding birthday cake from Jacquette's and I am one year older and one cake happier. \n\nThe cake itself is rich, dense and moist -- virtually black with chocolate -- and not too sweet. \n\nThe buttery, soft rolls that ensconced my birthday-choice pulled pork were terrific as well. This is squishy, white German type bread, perfect for ham sandwiches, pulled pork and rolling into bread balls when you are six. \n\nJacquette's is a classic styled bakery and everything is bad for you and by default, fantastic.",
"The aroma of fresh bread, cakes and sugar can be perceived a block away. Freshly made cakes, pastries and sweets. \n\nWe found no mold, for Pete's sake. I hope the other reviewer had a Jacquette bad day...",
"I bought a strawberry short cake from Jacquette's. And it was delicious. Fresh strawberries...on top and inside. Whip cream was wonderful (not sickeningly sweet) and the cake was so moist. We considered eating the whole thing tonight and going to get another on tomorrow.",
"Excellent customer service! I needed to get a birthday cake for a friend turning 30, and I called a few places that would be able to bake me the perfect red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. I've heard rave reviews about this place, and thank goodness I went with this place! They were even able to put a very cute design in line with our red, white, and black birthday theme! \n\nThe cake was delicious! Heavenly, really. It was moist, and the icing was not piled on. It was just enough sweetness. When I saw everyone devouring the cake, I knew I chose the right bakery.\n\nI highly recommend this place! They have pastries, cupcakes, cookies, and other delicacies that I must try!",
"This business has earned my trust. And that's very difficult to do. That, and their stuff is delicious. So delicious that even my Black Lab was impressed... but more on that later.\n\nWe were all taking part in doing our part for planning the High School graduation celebration for my partner's daughter, a major event which turned to be sort of a secular Bat Mitzvah in size and scope, with a fire hall rented out, massive food selections, etc. etc. Our part was to order a suitable full-sheet cake, the selection made even more difficult as it needed to be as lactose free as possible, given that several of the guests, including myself, are lactose intolerant in several degrees of severity. After almost a dozen inquiries, we came up to Jacquettes and they said they would be willing to give it a try, but they recommended we try one of their selections first to see if it could suffice for the lactose-free crowd. I came up to the store the next day and bought a vanilla on vanilla cake and brought it home. Besides delicious, it more than settled me well in the lactose-free category. My partner, who is afflicted by a sweet tooth, had two and a half servings. I had one slice and still, two thirds of the cake were left for the next day. The moist, aromatic and delicious vanilla cake was placed on the counter and we were all looking forward to devouring the rest of it the next day...\n\nWell, here comes the Lab part... I went to order the cake the next day after the gym, and my other half came home early to do some college planning for his daughter. Well, while I was at Jacquettes, he called me up and asked me if I had eaten the rest of the cake. Of course not, I told him... then he told me that there was a happy Black Lab with a VERY guilty look on his face lying on his living room doggy bed, tail happily slamming on the floor, but not even a trace of the cake. Not even crumbs, icing, or any food spots on the floor. Only a clean, almost washed-up styrofoam layer next to the cake box. Thank God it wasn't chocolate...\n\nMy interaction with the wonderful staff at Jacquette's was superb. Not only did they suggest the proper composition for a minimal lactose cake, but also they were pros at the decorating. A full-sheet vanilla on vanilla with pudding inside cake with a picture of two girls, decorations on their high school colors, pink flowers, little graduation hats and scrolls, you name it. It was almost too beautiful to eat. And the guests were absolutely delighted by the flavors. And yes, it was on time to the second.\n\nThis was one of the nicest business interactions in a long time.",
"I had shopped at this bakery but it had been awhile. I called about their selection of cakes and was greeted with annoyance. She had no enthusiam about what she was describing or interest in helping me. So, I'm not going to bother patronizing them.\nKaren D.",
"I had promised to visit Jacquettes for a while...and finally got there a few months ago. I couldn't write a review because I was hacked big time and had to close all my accounts...now I'm back and the delay was worth it. This bakery is everything a neighborhood bakery should be...great product, especially the cakes, convenient, and friendly!",
"(3.75) ~ Good Overall Food & Service. NOTE: Go earlier in the day before they sell out;-)\n\nMY MENU:\n** Glazed Donut = (4) very good\n* Cinnamon Sugar Donut = (3.5) good\n* Sticky Buns = (3.5) good",
"Went here on the way to and from the beach from Pittsburgh. Excellent donuts. Our favorites included the red velvet cake donut and the Boston cream, which my wife said could have been the best she's ever had.",
"Stopped here for the first time ever. We sampled a mini apple pie, an almond crescent, and a cheese Danish. None of these items impressed me. The apple pie was filled with a gooey, commercial filling. The almond crescent tasted almost like solid almond paste. The Danish was okay, but there was nothing special about the pastry and it had too much icing on top. Service was fine, but the items here were not to my taste"

"Stopped by yesterday to get a iced coffee. They were closed but the owner Greg let me in and told me all about the new Cafe. \n\nI was excited! I love coffee and a locally owned, farm fresh inspired food menu is right up my alley. The iced coffee was outstanding and I promised Greg I would be back in the morning to get a hot one. \n\nCame back this morning and the coffee was outstanding. Seriously. It was deep full bodied, and just all in all the best coffee I've had. \n\nGreg has a serious passion for coffee and food, and Drip is the only \"Drip\" coffee in Delaware. \n\nHe is very passionate about what he does and I hope that more word gets spread about Drip. \n\nGreg and his wife (sorry I didn't catch your name) are awesome, laid back and serious about what they do. I was truly impressed. \n\nSee you tomorrow am for a latte!",
"Greg is a new creative owner of Drip. He really is committed to using local products. We've had the potatoe hash and fresh fruit. They also have french press coffee which is awesome. Lets all help him succeed. The place could use a little sprucing up in terms of the furniture, but that will come with time.",
"Finally, a very good coffee shop outside of Philly! I've been a few times now and all the food I tasted has been great. Highly recommend the Florentine sandwich. Lattes are consistent and easily beat BrewHaha. They also do pour over coffee, which has really become popular in recent years. Hoping they have different beans for lattes and would be cool if they started doing latte art. I feel like that would really set them apart from their competition.\n\nSo, this is the best coffee shop in the DE area hands down. That includes all the BrewHahas, all the little shops in Newark, and even some in Philly. AND the food is beyond what most espresso bars offer, which makes this a one stop shop for me. I will continue to go here regularly.",
"My husband and I had breakfast and coffee here today. Both of the owners were working, and were very helpful and friendly! The local ingredients are a plus, and the food was prepared beautifully. I had the 2 eggs any style (I had over easy) with bacon added. It was a great deal of food for the money, and it wasn't greasy or heartburn inducing, as many breakfast places can be. My husband had the kale and bacon hash, which he loved. The lattes were yummy, with full bodied tasty espresso used. We just loved this place. We will be back as often as possible. I love a locally owned, locally sourced business. Supporting this place is a great idea, come, eat, drink coffee and feel good about buying local and supporting passionate local business owners.",
"Great coffee shop + diner combo. Read good reviews here on YELP so went to go check it out. Was NOT dissapointed. We went at an off peak time so it was fairly empty which is fine by me. Service was great and attentive and the food was fresh as can be. Coffee was also outstanding. ONLY thing id complain about is the orange juice and it wasnt even THAT bad, but a place like that should have fresh squeezed. I will DEF go back, often.",
"Had breakfast here again, delicious! They now make their own mocha syrup for coffee drinks, which I love. The food is amazing, I ordered the same as last time, my husband got the caramel apple pancakes. My meal was just as great as the first time, and the Carmel apple pancakes were like circles of heaven. I highly recommend coming for breakfast or lunch, you will not regret it.",
"Love this place! Stopped in for the first time today and I was pleasantly surprised. I hadn't been able to find a good coffeehouse since I moved here in '06. I ordered a salted Carmel latte and breakfast burrito with avocado. The burrito was fresh and yummy, very addicting! The latte I had asked for iced and it came hot, but was delicious as is. Plus, it gives me a reason to come back!\n\nPrices are in line with what a decent coffeehouse would charge, yes even in Delaware, lol. I will definitely be back!",
"Excellent place! Met the owner, very engaged. Their specialty sandwich \"The Cali\" was great - egg, avocado, arugula, mozzarella on thin toasted sourdough. Also had the breakfast burrito, fairly standard but appreciated that it was just the right size for the morning. Will be back!",
"Went to Drip Cafe for the first time today because I got a deal on a gift certificate and I was expecting your average (boring) coffee place but this place is exceptional. The food is sourced from local farms whenever possible and they have a great selection of coffee that the owner must have hand selected. The menu was way more diverse than your average cafe. I got the Caramel Apple Pancakes, which were vanilla pancakes smothered with apples (and I had them add bananas), bacon, and a salted caramel sauce. They were to die for. But it was a huge portion....enough for at least two people! Definitely going to go back and eat in so I can enjoy the french pressed coffee at my table with breakfast.",
"I first tried Drip Cafe at a farmers market, where they had pastries and coffee. The lady at the table told me a little bit about the menu and how they locally source as much food as possible as well as changing the menu up regularly. I love places that use local food, it makes everything taste so much fresher. \n\nI went into the actual Cafe the other day. I food looked delicious, but I stuck with a specialty coffee. This is one of the few places that I can have a latte bc they offer almond milk instead of just soy and milk. I was very excited when I discovered this, and my latte was perfection. The one downside/shocker was the price of the latte (even before the extra for the almond milk was factored in). I also was not impressed with the attitudes of the two employees I interacted with. They were not very friendly/welcoming, and acted like they were doing ME a favor by letting me purchase a coffee. I think the coffee is overpriced and the staff could be better, but since they have the almond milk, I will splurge occasionally."

"An obviously new, funky little restaurant. My boyfriend fiends for their muffalotta! They have a few half-assed veggies options for me, but that better than I can say for most of the city! \nThe decor is nice, a little cold, but clean. The service is good, and the game is always on!",
"Great lunch specials. \nVery nice for groups, good for the eat and run lunch. \n\nI usually get the bowl of soup, salad and mini pizza for lunch. The vegetarian pizza is really divine.\n\nReally quick delivery in the Uptown area.The owner usually delivers the food.",
"I love this place -- the pizza is like Ray's in NY (great) and the owners are really friendly and welcoming. Quick reliable delivery, good sandwiches too. Definitely worth a visit!",
"Why was my omelet brown? The cook obviously doesn't know how to cook eggs. Overdone, brown eggs made into a lazy semi-folded omelet. The description seemed great on paper. I was expecting a fluffly omelet filled with spinach, peppers, sundried tomatoes, and cheese. I received an overcooked salty egg mess with vegetables randomly stuck into it. In addition to the burnt, brown parts, the rest of the omelet was an odd gray color(which I assume is from the pan).\n\nThe only reason I went here is because Refuel doesn't do takeout on the weekends. It's true that I am no longer hungry but I don't think I'll be back to Pepperoni's Cafe for their breakfast. Perhaps their pizza and whatever else they serve is great but I doubt I'll ever find out.",
"Been here for lunch and breakfast. Started with lunch and it was ok not great but ok. Staff was helpful. Came for breakfast and it was horrible! Day old bacon barely warmed, slow service (they were catering another event and sent follow on customers away), coffee was tepid. Just bad breakfast. Should have said something but did not.",
"NOLA is famous for several different things. But, unfortunately my experience at this cafe lacked those several things. \n\nWe stopped into this little joint our last night in New Orleans and remained hopeful despite an empty restaurant. The decor and ambiance seemed modern chic and was clean, they have TVs and also offer a range of different desserts in there glass fridge. \n\nService was good, only one waitress/cashier working, and she was still attentive even though we were the only customers. \n\nI ordered the seafood pasta, which we were told was the most popular, my sister had the chicken alfredo, and my bro in law had the shrimp po boy. My meal came and it didn't look good, but I still had hope!!\n\nSome of the noodles were still hard and stuck together, not full cooked?! yikes! The sauce was bland for my taste and the shrimp was rather small and didn't have much taste either. \n\nI give this place 3 stars because the service was good, however the food just did not deliver on what NOLA is known for, great southern food. Maybe next time I'm in NOLA the food here will taste a bit better to me, but it just wasn't that tasty to me.",
"cool, cheap, and delicious lunch specials but never seems like there's any business. the servers really try to push their sales! all around, good experience though!",
"Stopped in for brunch with mom. Very clean, with a diner feel. Service was nice. I had eggs on tortillas with black beans. Not a lot of flavor, but it wasn't horrible. We really wished we had the pizza but didn't think of it until we had already ordered...we WERE in a place called Pepperoni's with pizza boxes stacked to the ceiling...probably should have had the pizza.",
"Stopped in for a quick smoothie that I had heard about from a trusted friend. I got the Mango smoothie and it was amazing. Very refreshing and just what I needed to jump-start my hung over Friday!",
"This is a great breakfast place! My friend and I went here after finding the long line across the street. I needed to eat and run, so I didn't have time to wait for a table. \n\nI was always wary of this place because it was part of the frat-tastic side of uptown, and getting door hangers from them, I wasn't too impressed. I am so glad that I came in! The food was soo good. I got an omlet that pretty good, but my friend ordered the fruit and nutella crepe. Amazing. It was so amazing, i ordered one to go for another friend, and she proclaimed that it was AMAZING too. \n\nI also love that the waitress asked if we wanted our coffee to go. Some people have told me it's pretty common, but this is a first for me. a free refill cup to go! YAY! It made my morning so much brighter."

"This place just opened within the past month. I first checked it out at the beginning of last week, and I've already been there 5 times. (I work a few blocks away.) So far, I haven't had a bad meal. The portions are huge, the staff is friendly, the food is ridiculously good, and everything is CHEAP! They could easily mark up their entire menu by 50% or more and still be a great value. A half hero is $5.00, which can easily be 2 meals, depending how big your appetite is. My favorite sandwich so far is the Buccaneer. The sandwiches all come with homemade chips, too, which are delicious. The chips have been over-seasoned a couple of times I've had them, but that may just be personal preference. I don't tend to like a lot of seasoning. A minor complaint, though. Not enough to dock a star.\n\nI can't say enough good things. This has quickly become my new go-to lunch place in Ybor.",
"Why 4 stars? Because this is not what you think it's gonna be.\n\n --- --- ---\n\nOr at least it's not what I thought it would be. I imagined the new Sunday's to be about a 15x15 area at most, where you take two steps in and you're at the small deli counter. I imagined this because Sunday's used to have quite the awesome (and large) space 30 feet across the street, so I assumed they moved because they wanted something smaller. My visit proved otherwise, as I came to find out that this building is barely smaller than their original. Why did they move? Who knows. But they still continue to make great food.\n\nI went with the Hot Italian Roast Beef and it was succulent. On one hand, I can't wait to eat it again, but on the other hand... it was practically a root canal trying to decide which sandwich to order. There will be plenty of great options to choose from next time... on the top of that list is their California hoagie. It comes with turkey, avocado, and some other tasty treats. I also grabbed a small side of macaroni salad, which was a great compliment to the strong flavors of my sandwich. My only minor complaint is that the chips were fairly dry and flavorless. That being said, there are PLENTY of other sides to choose from that look quite delicious.\n\nSunday's - you're 2 for 2 in Ybor!",
"Another SAD deli experience. This is what I define as an ASSEMBLY deli meaning that they buy there products from a distributor (Boars Head in this case) assemble them to their menus specifications and serve. This business model works in most cases (IE. Subway, Jimmy Johns, Publix) because processed foods and flavors are much easier and consistent and don't require much skill to produce. Not to say that this method is BAD, but the art of a good deli is being lost and forgotten. As a culinary professional I want to taste an establishments own flavors and ideas not something I can purchase myself. \nFew suggestions; don't advertise fresh baked bread when its not (par baked bread is really stretching the truth), don't use boil in bag soups and say they're homemade, and when slicing meat especially Corned Beef you HAVE to slice against the grain of the meat or it will be tough and chewy as my sandwich was.\nStaff was very friendly and the space was open and clean.",
"Excellent sandwich. I also go here to get our lunch meats for home sandwiches now! Large portions, good prices. We were in desperate need of this in Ybor!",
"Thank goodness the food was ok, but the attitude and service of staff would be a negative star if impossible to give. My sister and I came here for breakfast, placed our order and sat outside as it was a lovely saturday April morning. Never being there before, we didn't expect to sit and not be brought our food-instead the woman who took our order came outside to TELL us that our food was ready (mind you there was no one in line to service so she could have brought it out) so we had to come inside and get it ourselves. Upon reentering,there was another staff member singing loudly next to the entrance (doing who know what). \n\nAll in all, do not come expecting service of any kind-the Ricotta Pancakes were good and they were out of what my sister wanted (can't remember now) but running out of a menu item before 9 am in a sat is poor planning. \n\nWon't be back",
"Great Food, Very Reasonable Priced, Nice Family run business, Would recommend to have lunch there next time you are in Ybor City.",
"OK, I don't normally do this so here goes. My wife and I went for lunch today I ordered a corned beef Sandwich and I have no clue what kind of Sandwich my wife ordered., There was two other couples in the store one was eating already and the other came in after us and was sitting down waiting for their food. Its did seem to take a little longer to begin with to bring the food out but when it did come out it was given to the people two tables down from us first. The women told the waitress that it wasn't what she ordered after her husband wiped is face with his hand and the both sandwiches were handled by another customer. The waitress picked the plates up and took them behind the Deli counter and placed them on the counter waiting to be re dispatched to us. The whole time my wife never took her eyes off the plates.. Eagle Eye lol. After a few minutes the same waitress brought them to our table and walked away. My wife mentioned it to her and she quickly without any problems took them to have them made again... unmolested Sandwiches please! The only reason That I'm writing this negative review is because of this. The Sandwich platters come with Sundays homemade potato chips that they keep in a large stainless bowl behind the counter. After she placed the old sandwiches in trash she simply pushed that chips that were on the old plates back in the bowl with the rest of the chips that would re dispatched to the next customers plate. I know this because I with my own eyes take a handful out for the next customer! Dirty gross!",
"We tried this place on a whim when we were bored on a Saturday afternoon. Ordering is a bit of a cluster. There is no printed menu and the choices are on two different blackboards on two different walls so you have to bounce back and forth while perusing.....I settled on the Asian Pork sandwich while my fiancee went with the California Hero... My sandwich was great! Huge portion! The Asian slaw was crisp and fresh and the spicy mayo was not too overpowering. The California (basically a club sandwich with avocado) was so good that I ended up eating my entire sandwich and half of the other it! Our bill was a pittance.... 14 bucks for two huge sandwiches including drinks and two sides (Macaroni Salad is where it's at). My only advice to the restaurant is to have printed menus and put their chalkboards next to each other on the wall!",
"I had seen Sunday's Delicatessen on Yelp and was intrigued, so when my fiance' and I were looking for a spot to grab lunch on a Saturday afternoon I quickly suggested Sunday's. I'm glad I did!\n\nThe prices, first of all, are GREAT! We each got huge sandwiches with side salads (he went for macaroni salad and I did fruit salad) and drinks for $14 for both of us. I went for the California Club Sandwich (half portion). The HALF PORTION was enough for two people. Fiance' got an Asian pork sandwich (can't remember the name). Both were really delicious and fresh.\n\nI look forward to coming back and trying some more selections. Great spot for a quick and filling meal in the heart of Ybor City.",
"My husband and I read about Sunday's Delicatessen in Creative Loafing. The article raved about the place, so we decided to plan our Saturday around going there for lunch. We first hit the Ybor Market and then walked the short distance to Sunday's. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We decided to share a hot Italian roast beef sandwich. It was HUGE! We each only ate 1/4 of the sandwich, so we really could have shared a small. The homemade chips were to die for, the sandwich was oh, so yummy!\nThey recycle the cans/bottles of drinks that they serve, which I thought was pretty cool. \nIf you are looking for a great sandwich at a great price, you can't beat Sunday's!"

"great new location... carousel is free.. chicken wings are awesome. excellent location if you have children.",
"My initial take was that Peter Piper was perfect because it was basically Chuck E Cheese, but with better pizza and beer. However, Peter is considerably more expensive than Chuck E. Cheese. Peter Piper also appears to be geared toward older kids. Despite the higher price (especially for tokens), the prizes to be claimed for tickets were the same crappy prizes that Chuck E. Cheese offers - what a shame.\n\nFinally, their security is notable mainly due to its absence. Peter Piper doesn't stamp, wristband, or otherwise identify your kids as yours; meaning that anyone could walk out the door with your child. A deal-breaker for me and my two girls.",
"We went here recently on a whim, and I was very pleasantly surprised. Gone was the ketchuppy cardboard pizza from my youth. The cheese bread was a yummy start to our meal, and the pizza itself was on par with some of the more inexpensive delivery places. My hubby was glad to have a half pitcher of beer, because he isn't a fan of crowds. I would recommend trying to find a coupon. One day after we went, one came in an advertisement in the mail. My 2 and 3 year old had a lot of fun playing games and riding the carousel after dinner. We will be back soon.",
"I took my daughter here for lunch because I had heard that it was a really nice peter piper. I was so excited to go. When we got there, it was packed with rude teenagers. It was kind of expensive for two lunch specials, when I should have just bought a pizza. I got in line for the \"buffet\" and by the time we got to the pizza it was cold, and dreary. Now I grew up with a peter piper down the street and have always loved their pizza, however this was awful. I couldn't even eat it. It tasted like cardboard that had sat out for hours. I would much rather go to cicis or chucke cheese. Not going back, not just the food, but the rude kids that trample my 2 year old.",
"Decidedly not gourmet pizza, decidedly not an all-adults establishment, so with hesitation we had the lunch buffet there. We were desperate and nothing else appealing was within close distance and we were on our bikes. We had low expectations after an unpleasant experience at the other kiddie's birthday party hang-out. \n\nBut you know what? For $4.99 each for all-you-can-eat salad and pizza, it is not so bad. Skip the overpriced and unhealthy sodas, focus on the unhealthy pizza, and it is a reasonable deal. Quality? Salad, of which there were three to choose from, were just fine, pizza, of which there were at least a half-dozen from which to choose, was about the same as frozen pizzas. Lots of salt, okay ingredients, unremarkable sauce and cheese, and pretty good crust. But this is under $10 to fill up two hungry bikers. What else can I say but \"it works.\" Having an area away from the kiddie toys that is less appealing to children but more appealing to adults helped a lot as well.",
"It's an instant pizza party! Not the best pizza ever, but not as bad as i thought. We normally get a medium thick crust and they accommodate any number of pre-schooler driven topping requests. Best thing about the menu? A beer selection on tap, which makes collecting endless strips of tickets a bit more tolerable. Wings and family size salads flush the offerings out enough to make it enjoyable for everyone in the family. \n\nBut the food isn't why you come here. It's the atmosphere of being at a party. Even if it isn't your party (which we never have had a big party of our own here), the kids think they are at a party. It makes it a great way to have a small birthday seem a bit more special, or to do for some other special celebration. \n\nThis location on Broadway is HUGE, though. And if you are going to leave your table to play games, make sure to leave signs that you are coming back, as unattended tables can either be bussed or possibly pilfered. I foolishly left my sunglasses on our table on one visit and they were missing when we returned. I told the manager and he offered a free pizza coupon, so props to management for smoothing over a case of customer blindness. \n\nand they have beer.",
"Great place for kids party! The place is giant since it used to be a retail store. Pizza was also much better then others. Our host took great care of us. Great place for summer parties to stay out of the heat.",
"This place is the shizznitzzz. Wish I was always 10. Pizza is not the best but decently priced for what you get. And the games are awesome. Its huge so they having lots of seating for birthday parties or casual diners. I love coming here for my nieces and nephews bday. Lots of games for the little one plus they have a small roller coaster and a merry-go-round! The big prize selection isnt so great but I love the small toy gadgets. Like the ones I use to get when I was little. If I was still 10, I would want my bday parties here all the time.",
"When I set out to review this new(er) Peter Piper, what immediately came to mind was that scene in Oceans 11, where Danny and Rusty went to go ask Reuben for money... \n\nIf you're gonna go to this Peter Piper, you'd better (er, gosh darn?) KNOW. This sorta thing used to be civilized, you'd play a few games, get a few tickets, eat some pizza, done. But with this location... at the end of this, you're gonna get trampled. You're going to have a hard time finding a place to sit. You're going to have to say \"excuse me\" a million times as you attempt to not step on other people's children while you chase after yours.\n\nYou should know what you're getting yourself into. Especially if you're going on a weekend, especially especially on a weekend evening. \n\nIt's HUGE, probably part of the draw from all over town. There's a full sized carousel and one of those rides where you go in a circle in a wave (Himalaya something?). Both are free, and are great (well I can only comment on the carousel, my kid is too young for the other one).\n\nFood is cheap, and it tastes better than it needs to for that price. Beer--$12 for a pitcher, HOLLA. And trust me, you're going to need a few pitchers to handle the chaos.\n\nPeter Piper is doing everything right as far as price point, games, size. The lower rank (perhaps unfairly, although I do think there is more than can be done to do crowd and chaos control), is for atmosphere--especially during these busy times. It's almost like they need to employ hall monitors (\"no running!\" \"no trampling!\" \"he had that game first!\") for all the unruly children that are left unsupervised by the parents enjoying the $12 pitchers.\n\nThis is a great place to go if you'd like to let your kid run and play, and he's comfortable wearing a helmet and knee pads in public. Otherwise, may I suggest a Tuesday night... or even better, the PP on Soldiers Trail. It's about 1/4th of the size, has no where NEAR the number of games (and no slides/playground area, like the Broadway one... so if that's important to you, something to consider), but it's also significantly less busy. Definitely a cost-benefit analysis!",
"I am reviewing the games, not the food. (We usually go here after dinner). This place is so much fun! I am usually the disciplinarian at home, so it delights my girls that I can laugh and play like they do. We have found that it's best to go later, it's much less crowded. One day, we'll try the pizza and I'll have a new review to write!"

"Yay for fried food. This place has got some pretty good buffalo wings and good portions. The staff is friendly. There are pool tables, a jukebox and TVs running all sorts of sporting events. Decent neighborhood bar hangout. Been there a couple times and it's never too crowded.",
"Can you grade a business lower because of the clientele it attracts? I'm not doing that for Joe Bob's but I think others should be forewarned of who they might run into here.\nI came here s short time ago because I was in the mood for wings and Carolina Kitchen was closed. It had been a long time since I had been here. And after I arrived, I remembered why I don't like coming here.,\nI came when they offered cheap beer. And that kind of promotion brings people who drink cheap beer. There was one table that was loud and obnoxious and singing and clapping to the music. Until a Michael Jackson song came on, then they started the racial slurs and that predictably led to racial slurs about Barack Obama.\nNow, I need to make it clear that I don't think Joe Bob's encourages or even tolerates racial slurs. I don't remember where the waitresses were during the racial slur comments. I should point out I didn't bring it to their attention. I just wanted to eat my food and get out of there. Also, a guy who seemed to be in a managerial position was Latino. So the business itself isn't racist.\nBut if you go to a narco corridos concert at the New Oasis you're going to run into gang bangers. And if stumble into Joe Bob's during a cheap beer promotion you might run into a table from the bowels of Sun Valley, who between six or seven adults had maybe three sets of teeth.\nAs for the food, the wings were good, not great. The green salad was overpriced.",
"Heather is the best. She has been at Joe Bob's forever (over 2 years). She knows her clients and make dining there even better. The specials are the way to go, as some of thier menu items seem to get pricey for \"basket\" food. For a quick easy lunch it is good. The restrooms leave alot to be desired.",
"Well cheap is no longer to be used with them. Their wings are expensive. More than Sparkys, Bully's or more traditional sports bars. The overall feeling I got was that this place was just not clean. The floors need to be redone and the furnitre is all kinds of mis matchedness going on. The bartender was grumpy and almost seemed annoyed that we were in there. Sorry, I was hungry and you were open! THe chicken was good enough but I just felt for such a dive the prices were too much. It needs to be updated and cleaned up to charge those types of prices or they wont be around much longer. You have to compete in this market. Oh well. I do not see myself stopping back by any time soon. It was on a whim after a game that we went here. Probably not again.",
"The food is good but the clientele is a bit scary-and I'm from LA; that ought to tell you something.",
"I am still in search a wing place and I heard this place might be good. It was pretty good. And we caught a special: 20 wings for 10 bucks. We asked for the sauce on the side and lots of ranch. Our waitress was very friendly and nice and reccomends things off the menu, and made nice convo. I liked that, especially when you never been to the place and don't know what to order. I would like to try again and try some sauces next time. But cool sports bar, not too busy, yummy fried food.",
"This was a better experience this time. I went during happy hour and got a cherry vodka and lemonade drink at the suggestion of the waitress/bartender Heather and then a margarita, each for $2. They were both great deals and tasted good, too.\nI also got the beef brisket sandwich special with fries. Both were okay. Nothing exceptional but good. \nThis Joe Bob's has a new owner. I will have to return to try the wings to see if they're still good. \nOverall, the place felt more comfortable this time than any other time I've been here.",
"Wow. That's the only word I can think of to describe my experience at Joe Bob's. My buddy and I were searching for a place to eat one night, and I remembered that I live right near a Joe Bob's Chicken Joint. I'd been there before many years past, so I didn't really remember the experience. I think I know now why I hadn't gone back.\n\nWhen we walk in, there is almost nobody there. It's essentially empty minus a few people sitting at two tables. After about five minutes, the waitress comes along. My buddy asks whether they have Coke or Pepsi products. The waitress looks at him incredulously and responds \"Neither. We have knock-offs\". ...knockoffs? I've never, ever been to a restaurant that doesn't sell name-brand sodas. Ever. I'm even talking about the hole-in-the-wall, mega-sketchy Chinese fast-food places. And she wasn't kidding - it was *definitely* off-brand, as both my \"Mr. Pibb Knock-Off\" and his \"Coke Knock-Off\" tasted the same: disgustingly sweet half-flat sugar water. \n\nMy buddy and I ordered. Then we waited. And waited. ...and waited... Did I mention we waited? Yeah. For an hour and a half. About ten minutes after we ordered, a large party came in (about eight people). They all ordered...and received their gigantic order before we received ours. Unacceptable. \n\nThe food was merely adequate but not worth the amount of time or money we spent. The waitress checked up on us ONCE during the hour and a half wait and told us \"only about three minutes left\". She came back thirty minutes later with our food. \n\nThe restaurant was...kinda clean. I mean, it's hard to describe. There wasn't visible dirt, but the restaurant was not inviting in any way. The decor was...actually, there kinda wasn't a decor. \n\nI will not be back. Ever. The service was awful and the food was simply OK. Not worth your time or money.",
"Strange as it is, I have a really hard time reviewing my favorite restaurants. It always feels like I come across as advertising them more than any customer should. It's just that I'm passionate about food and when I like a place, I *really* like a place.\n\nJoe Bob's Chicken Joint is the best Joe Bob's location. It has the best cook, the coldest beer and the friendliest service. The sign outside that says their wings are cold, their beer is warm and their waitresses are ugly isn't funny... but inside, it's all good.\n\nThey have Blue Moon on tap, they had some Hemp Ale for a while, they have a pretty decent happy hour... but most importantly, they have the best wings on the planet.\n\nI've been to Buffalo, NY and eaten the best wings they had to offer. I've sampled some succulent Chinese chicken, Thai and Veitnamese offerings, even Jamaican Jerk.\n\nSometimes, I'm in the mood for cheap and greasy Wingstreet Wings, but for big, juicy, crispy, perfectly cooked, high quality wings, Joe Bob's can't be beat.\n\nSuper Hell's Fire with Extra Bleu Cheese is the way to go. If you aren't into the spicy side though, there's Thai seasoning, BBQ, plain and less hot varieties of Super Hell's Fire.\n\nIf you come to the Reno/Sparks area and don't eat at Joe Bob's, you failed in your visit. Even if it's for a funeral and you're grief stricken, you still have to eat here. Seriously. It's a must.",
"The first thing I will say about this place is DO NOT BE IN A HURRY if you choose to dine here! I went on a Friday, sat down at 12:25pm. I noted 5 other tables occupied in addition to about 6 patrons at the bar. The waitress (the ONLY waitress) came and took drink order promptly, but seemed annoyed that we were not ready to order within 2 minutes of sitting down. \n\nShe came back a few minutes later and we ordered some of the chicken and fish and chips \"special\" (same price on the menu however). The menu states to allow 20 minutes for the chicken, OK, thanks for the heads up. The waitress, also apparently, the bartender brought me a refill on my soda, left the empty glass... and went back to the bar where she proceeded to eat and lick her fingers. Without washing her hands, served drinks and food to customers. GROSSS!!!!!\n\n40 minutes after ordering, yes, 40 minutes, our food came, which at this point, I really wasn't thrilled about getting after watching her unsanitary finger licking, but we were hungry. The chicken was mediocre at best and the 4 pieces of fish were about the size you would make a fish taco with. It was OK as far as fried fish goes, but not worth $7.50! \n\nThe waitress/bartender never came back to check on anyone she brought food to, until she came to bring the check. I asked for a box, she never brought and had to go ask for...at which time she gave me with a slight attitude. \n\nI had noticed an older gentleman behind the bar, seemingly just walking back and forth, I asked if he was the owner, waitress replied yes and asked \"why?\". I responded that I thought the place sucked. She asked \"the food?\" I responded \"everything\". At this point, you would think she would have called him over to address my opinion, but NOPE, just gave me a dirty look. When I paid, I suggested to her that she might want to think about washing her hands after she sticks them in her mouth before serving food to customers. No response, just a glare....\n\nWith all the places to eat around town, especially in this economy, I will opt to spent my all mighty dollar elsewhere."

"I was there on Grand Opening, so there was plenty of staff. I got my food fast and right. Hopefully this will last. \n\nThe burger was a little grainy for my taste, but I think this is what is meant by \"STEAKBURGER\" so I will look past that. The patties are smashed when grilling, giving them a crispy edge. The pickles are not wimpy dill slices, they are slices but cut length wise. I also had sport peppers on there...hoooweee they are good.\n\nFries are shoestring, makes you just want to eat a handful at a time. They also provide you some seasoning salt and fry sauce, which may be 1000 island or maybe ketchup and mayo.\n\nThe chili is nice and thick, like hot dog chili should be. None of what some restaurants call homemade when its just a bunch of beans and hamburger with chunky onions. Nor is it a watery snot concoction like Weinerschnitzel.\n\nI had a concrete too, it was good.\n\nTaste to cost ratio is high with this one. I will be going back.",
"Just got back from lunch at the incredibly busy Freddy's. I had a California single (lettuce, tomato, sauce, onion) and my husband had a double with bacon. The burgers were pretty good, but In N Out is better, with better produce. The fries were good, but very thin, like pixi sticks. This made them very hard to pick up and dip in ketchup like I like to. We tried a small order of the chicken tenders, which were pretty heavily breaded, and nothing special. The best part of the meal was the mini sundae we got for dessert. I tried the PBB & C (peanut butter, banana and cherry). It was really good! I think if we come back, it will be for the custards only. Oh, the service was spectacular. Everyone was friendly and helpful.",
"Today I went to Freddy's for the first time. I didn't really care for it. The burger was thin and dry with crisp edges. I do want to go back and give it a second shot.\n\nAfter looking at their website this tidbit on their Current management opening rubbed me the wrong way as well- \n\nPhysical Requirments:\n\n1.No visible tattoos, facial hair or piercings in the tongue, lip or nose",
"I had been thinking about getting the patty melt the first time I went, but opted for a single stakeburger with cheese. Well, I missed out. I enjoyed the Patty Melt ten times more than the average burger. I think it's because it's a double patty sandwich and their single patty is just so pathetic. I also got the combo so I could try the fries. I am no way a fry connoisseur , in fact I' often a fry stealer. I felt that these fries were comparable to McDonald's in size, a little slimmer and longer, but not as puny as some have made them out to be. I also felt they were similar in taste with Freddy's being crisper.",
"Small, mediocre, expensive portions.\nThis building used to be a Long John Silver's, and it was recently bulldozed to make way for this Freddy's. That was a good decision, as this new building is a modern, bright, airy improvement. But I will not return for the food.\nI stopped here at lunchtime, and it was very busy. I ordered the original Double, and an original Chicago Dog. Total bill: about $9.\nI waited about ten minutes.\nBoth the burger and the dog were small and unimpressive. The \"steakburger\" seems to be hand-pressed ground beef, which is cool, but it's not worth $5. The dog was cold and bland.\nGo next door to In & Out Burger for a $3.50 burger that is much better.",
"Opening week....cars wrapped around the building for the drive through, a line of people out the door, so silly me, I jump in that line. I was shocked that within 5-10 minutes I placed my order at the front, ACTUALLY got a table, and was served! So, they are the new hot ticket item in town, BUT they got it down pat! So, fear not! Hop in that line!\n\nI love thin crispy fries! This place has shoestring fries that deliver! Plus, you can add seasoned salt and \"fry\" sauce...which is similar to a thousand island.\n\nI also love thin, Lacy crispy edge burgers...and BINGO it is hear! California style means lettuce, onion, tomato, and \"thousand island\" sauce...reg. comes with pickles, mustard, onion. \n\nThey also specialized in shakes...it is very similar to steak n shake, but you order at the counter, find a table, then they call out your number. Anyways, I dug it...and I am excited to go back!!!!",
"Yelp, does not offer NEGATIVE stars or I'd rate this place with them.\nThe only thing about this place which I could appreciate was the bus persons swift and good job of cleaning an extreamly messy table left by the former resident of said table. \nThe food: small portions for the money, taste: original single with bacon and double with bacon was mostly the grill and spice, no juice and burger cooked till texture of shoe leather. also had the custard turtle sunday and pb& c ... let me dwell here and tell you I am from the land of Kopps Custard, Milwaukee WI. So I am a bit biased but I also know good custard, Giles and Culvers are also from WI. So Freddy's Frozen custard is a pretty lofty claim to even say it is custard cause it sure tastes and textures like soft serve from Dairy Qween or Mc D's.\nAll things considered, I would say spend your money and time else where, Fudruckers, Culvers (much beter custard and food options), \nAgain, SERVICE is the only place I would give them a 3 to 4 star rate considering the croud and they are friendly giving you this over priced low grade dog food, and keeping the place pretty clean.",
"I'm obessed with their Custard. It is the creamiest divine thing I have ever tasted, mind you I don't think I've ever had custard before. I love it so much I'm scared to try Culver's, because nothing could be this good. \n\nThe first time I went I didn't know what a Concrete was, but from what I gather it's a shake. When you Wikipedia it, they don't even have an entry for a Concrete that is a food item. I need to do more research...",
"I come from the land of Steak-N-Shake and in Tucson we don't have anything close to that until now good ol' Freddy's. Went there this morning and I was delighted about my burger it was greasy, the pickles were long and covered the sandwhich and the onions were great! Yes I'm talking about onions, because so many places have the most horrific onions ever!\nWe went through the drive thru and I was impressed with how fast and accurate they were. I got fries with my meal. The only reason they aren't getting more stars is because of the fries. They aren't my cup of tea but they are decent. However my burger was great and I didn't find it expensive my meal was $7 which I think is pretty darn average for fast food.\nAlso the staff was extremely helpful and they also made sure to ask if we wanted any fry sauce. So I tried the fry sauce it was okay not my favorite but okay.\nI can't wait to go back for the custard and will definitely shout out when that happens.\n\nIn the meantime though I was happy with my burger and will be back again!",
"In my hope of trying to channel my beloved hometown Steak 'N Shake in Ohio, I visited Freddy's drive thru after work one recent Sunday afternoon. I noticed right away that their menu is much, much smaller than Steak 'N Shake, but was mainly concerned about the taste and quality of the food so I started with the basics-a double steakburger with cheese and an order of fries. It wasn't cheap, but again, I was looking to revisit a fond memory so price was secondary. I wasn't disappointed. The burger was perfectly cooked with loads of fresh flavor and toppings. The fries are thin, shoestring style, crispy and delicious. When I go back I will plan better, ordering smaller versions of the burger and fries with hopes that I'll have room for some frozen custard."

"While, yes, this is a chain, I am rating this for several reasons.\n\nOne, I have been here multiple times, and it started out fine but seemed to go downhill after a year- we weren't too sure why, but figured they may have hired a new cook and so took a hiatus. This last visit shows improvement and the quality is much better.\n\nTwo, my brother ordered the steak and shrimp smothered in melted Parm with a side of fries, and was rhapsodizing about that steak the entire ride home. I did try a bite, and it was juicy and very well cooked- though not quite the \"best steak I've ever had,\" as my brother said. (He has low expectations...)\n\nThe service was also quite polite and helpful. I could not decide what to order out of two dishes, spicy shrimp and grilled dijon chicken, and our waitress recommended the chicken on the basis that one of her colleagues had it every day for a week after it had been put on the menu. I would not consider it quite that good, but was certainly well worth ordering. There seemed to be a bit too much cheese at first- I couldn't see the chicken under that, the peppers and the mushrooms- but that would be my only complaint.\n\nI also paid for everything with a gift card, which always makes the food taste better. Wonder why that is? ;)",
"Okay, so this place is a chain and I hate how they put bacon in everything, but our bridal party stopped here last year between pictures and ceremony since we did our pics first. Our flowers were wilting due to the heat and this wonderful restaurant actually wrapped them up and kept them cool for us near the freezer. We stopped here on a whim with a time limit and everyone was fast and helpful.\n\nLeft a 45% tip--they deserved it.",
"Quick stop off the turnpike. The staff always is attentive to my wife and I's needs. we stop there almost every time we drive through. I go to Applebee's by my house and it is not as good. Don't know what it is but I just think the food tastes fresher at this particular location. I will be back next time I drive through for sure.",
"We ordered the 2 for $20 special via the online ordering system and opted for the Carside To Go. We asked for the Spicy Queso Blanco and Chips, Riblets Platter with french fries and a loaded baked potato, and Three-Cheese Chicken Penne. Additionally, we ordered an extra loaded baked potato side.\n\nWhen we arrived home, the cheese for the chips was cold despite being packaged in its own Styrofoam container inside the Styrofoam container containing the chips. Additionally, our baked potato side was missing. Both of these issues are unacceptable from a national chain restaurant.\n\nThe chips tasted a little stale, and we just weren't impressed with the riblets and the penne. We won't be coming back to this Applebee's anytime soon.",
"Good spot right off the NJTpk very convenient. Our server must have been new. He didn't do anything expected of Applebees. Food was good. We ordered the 2/24 menu, ok but they should add dessert like the other chains.",
"Applebees is not my favorite faux party chain restaurant (that would be Friday's) but the food was pretty good. I like that they have all new options and have a big selection of dishes under 550 calories.",
"Typically do curb side pickup. Sometimes the food is good and sometimes it isn't. Wish there would be better consistency. Lettuce is cheap there should always be plenty in the to go salads!!",
"What can I say? It's Applebee's. Could be Friday's or any of the other similar chains. Fills the void at a reasonable price.",
"If you compare it to any city restaurants, it's like a 1 or 2. Probably just because I am pretentious and would never really go to Applebee's in real life. Like, ever. But it's a chain and you can't really compare it that way.\n\nI stopped in here because the highway was closed and I needed to take a detour. Everything was backed up so I decided to stop and get something to eat. The area didn't have much to choose from. \n\nThe three rating is because the waitress was so nice and the prices are super low. Pretty much fried food and stuff that was probably frozen before it got to the grill. But I mean, come on, you knew that. \n\nThe service was great and the place was pretty clean, but I just cant give Applebee's higher than a three or my foodie card will be taken away.",
"I have to give this Applebees a four. I love love their happy hour and have never been disappointed!! I always get their steak. The happy hour apps and drinks. Steak always cooked how I like it. LOVE the Staff."

"Great Lunch and Dinner spot. Had the special at lunch, the Roasted Bell Pepper with a side of garlic smashed potatoes. Fresh homemade rolls are also specially good baked fresh.",
"Plain and simple. Great Lunch, good prices, friendly service. Groups to about 10 work well. Daily specials. Too bad! they took Greek Potatoes of the list with thier 1/2 baked Greek Chicken. Best on the menu.",
"I went on a Friday night. 7:00 pm. From the parking lot I thought we would have to wait a long time. Only 10 minutes. The service was great and christy was a great waitress. The food was excellent and very reasonable! The portions were generals. The salad was big. I could have skipped the appetizer",
"Absolutely the worse seafood ever. VAPORIZED would be the best way of putting it. First dish I sent back. Spanakopita was definetly microwaved and not homemade. bartender suggested something else and it was at least better. Save your money.",
"The food is good nothing to be excited about well thats if your me but your not, let's just say it's okay for a quick, cheap eat can we say that okay i'm the one saying that. If you don't have high expectations of your dining experience, you'll probably be okay here like myself. honestly i found the food to be greasy and not very well prepared again maybe thats just me.\n\nThe best hot wing place in South Tampa maybe the chicken tenders are extra crunchy & well seasoned again maybe thats just me.\n\nGood food and great service again maybe thats just me, portions are not too big but you get a lot of food for the cost. Good specials and atmosphere is friendly again maybe thats just me.What i recommend try everything on the menu if possible, And Sangria wasn't bad either again maybe thats just me or is it ENJOY.",
"Absolutely disgusting. You couldn't pay me enough to eat here again. My wife and I went at about 5:00 pm on a Saturday - excited to eat at a steakhouse that wasn't a \"Big Chain\" on our honeymoon. I ordered a porterhouse and my wife got the chopped sirloin. When our food *finally* came out (the place was not crowded in the least) is the meat was bland, grey, over cooked, tough and lifeless. *NOT* medium rare by any stretch of the imagination. I told our horrible server, foul mood Valerie, about the poor impression that the food left and she never once offered to correct it. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE END OF DAYS if you have tastebuds! Do yourself a favor and eat shoe leather instead.",
"Good service, sweet tea was good, baked potato was ok - everything else was horrible. I think the steak was old and microwaved, no flavor, tough. Reminded us of Ramsey's kitchen nightmares.",
"This is our favorite place. We drive all the way from N Tampa to eat here every week. The staff is great and the prices are very reasonable. Lots of great choices too.",
"Pros:\n1. The waitress was very friendly, we were seated quickly and our drinks were never empty. \n2. The menu and the specials were extensive, I believe there is something for everyone to be found here (unless you are vegetarian of course!)\n3. Their white bread given as an appetizer was very good, it was served hot with a garlic/ Italian butter which was delicious. \n\nCons: \n1. The restaurant looks nice from the outside and the decor is clean, however my silverware was incredibly dirty with old food stuck to one of the forks. The bathroom was also very dirty, both toilets were covered in old used paper. \n2. My house salad looked at least two days old. Most of the ice burg lettuce had turned brown and was inedible, I am not sure why they would have even served it to a customer. Lettuce is one of the cheapest produces available, so this was not a good start to my meal. \n3. I ordered their special 9 oz sirloin steak, and when it came out I swear there couldn't have been more than 4 oz of steak on my plate. Two days prior I had a 6 oz steak at Outback that looked twice as big as the one presented to me. They did however manage to cook it to a nice medium, which was okay for me even though I had asked for medium rare. I think it was the size of the steak that made impossible to get a nice evenness throughout. A large part of my extremely small steak was also comprised of gristle and fat, so in the end I didn't manage to eat much of it. \n\nOverall I was not impressed with my experience here, for the price I paid I will throw in a few more bucks and go to a different steakhouse.",
"Horrible! Got really bad food poisoning and actually ended up seeking medical attention because it lasted 4 days. Salisbury steak- will never ever return. Top it all off I heard them talking bad about the nearby Air Force base."

"Restaurant was officially open last night so we adjusted our expectations accordingly. However we have been to the location in Glen Mills and know they are capable of excellent food. We given bread which was amazing on its own, with an olive oil and white bean hummus for dipping. Then we decided on the Grilled Octopus and the started with the Frito Misto which is a plate of tempura fried veggies. Both were very good. We then had the table side whole fish (not a bone to be seen after being filleted table side), the risotto with grilled shrimp and the veal parmigiana. All were very good. We then ordered a cappuccino which arrived nice and hot along with the cream brûlée and a chocolate chip cannoli. Desserts are house made with the exception of a couple things (that night it was the ice cream and the lemon cake). Our waiter Scott was extremely nice and strived hard to make the evening pleasant which it was. I look forward to returning and am so glad there is now a closer location for us to visit.",
"Wow! Very impressed with everything tonight! Kendra our bartender/server was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything on the menu and served It all with a smile. The ricotta bruschetta was amazing as well as the white bean hummus they served. I got a pasta dish with spinach, artichokes, pulled chicken and crab and It was absolutely amazing! The pasta was homemade and tasted so fresh. They make all their desserts as well and they were delicious, especially the chocolate mousse cake. I can't wait to return and I highly reccommend !",
"Il Granaio is by far the best Italian restaurant that you can experience not only in the East Coast but also I would dare to say one of the best in the world.\nJosh, Orbilin, Gent, Tadas and all of the staff make this a success and treasure in the middle of the hip and up and coming downtown Phoenixville.\n\nThe beets with burrata and pancetta are incredible, the greens and beans, polenta with Gorgonzola sauce and grilled octopus to begin your meal are essential. \n\nTry any entree from the risottos to the veal, bronzino, catch of the day... and finish with it's incredible tiramisu. Lemon cake chocolate mousse and why not some fresh cannolis?",
"We love this restaurant - have eaten at the Glen Mills location several times but always wished it was a bit closer. Well my wish came true and this new location in Phoenixville is every bit as good as the original. They have the same great menu. Most of the pastas are fresh pasta made in house. We had a wonderful waiter who we recognized from the other location - he was awesome. \n\nWe started with the beets and burrata and I had chicken parm and my husband had veal saltimbucca over paparadelle pasta which was what the waiter had recommended. We loved our meals and my husband already is talking about returning next weekend as he liked his so much! Chocolate mousse cake for dessert (plus the complimentary limoncello) was the perfect finishing touch. \n\nThis is the second birthday in a row I chose II Granaio for my night out and I'm sure next year will be the same (with many visits in between!) So happy we can enjoy our favorite Italian now closer to home!",
"Food is amazing! Service is attentive and nice. Would highly recommend. Had a beet and mozzarella app that I am still dreaming about.",
"This place is amazing! Usually I don't like to splurge at Italian restaurants because I feel like I can make something quite tasty and way cheaper with pasta at home, but didn't regret my wallet becoming lighter here. My friend who is 46% Italian, and has travelled around Italy was blown away too. The pasta, meats, seafood were all cooked to perfection. The sauces were the right consistency with the perfect amount of flavoring. I hate when places don't know how season there sauces or food correctly, and instead just overdo it with salt - which wasn't the case here. Also, the way they redecorated this place was beautiful - red walls and very European style chandeliers. Overall, the ambience, food, and company were top notch which makes me definitely want to return. Oh and the complimentary shot of house made limoncello helps too!",
"We visited IL Granaio for our Christmas Eve dinner and had an amazing meal. We started with the Whipped Marscapone/ herbed ricotta appetizer, which was phenomenal. We could not believe how good it was. We ordered the rigatoni alla Norma which was a delicious dish of pasta and eggplant that worked perfectly. One of us ordered the Barramundi, a special that night which had perfectly cooked risotto and the fish was wonderful. At our table, we also had the New York Strip which was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Even the potatoes on the side were tasty. Overall, we had a great meal. The service was excellent, the prices were fair, and the restaurant was nice and getting off to a great start. We'll definitely return!",
"We went here on Christmas Eve. There were 6 of us. Reinaldo was our waiter. \n\nThe atmosphere is pretty plain. Folks, the name means The Barn or The Grainery. The food was great! If possible, though, try to get a seat in the back room. \n\nWe started with calamari, grilled octopus, beets and burrata, whipped mascarpone and ricotta cheese served with croustini and tomato coulis, and a special which was baccala fritters, calamari, fried smelts, and fried shrimp. It was Christmas Eve - we were trying to get in our 7 fishes. \nThe calamari were fried to perfection. I think I would prefer something a bit more exotic than marinara sauce to dip them in but the actual squid were phenomenal. 4 1/2 stars\nI've had better grilled octopus at The Olive Tree in Lionville. It wasn't bad but it wasn't anything to write home about either. 4 stars\nThe beets and burrata were really great - a perfect blend of flavors and texture. 5 stars\nThe mascarpone and ricotta was sweet but flavorful. The grandson that ordered it liked it as did his brother and sister. 4 stars but sweet\nThe seafood special was okay. Smelts were not crispy enough. Baccala balls were surprisingly good. 3.5 stars\nGreens and beans were really good according to husband. 4 stars\n\nDinner: \nGrilled Bronzini: The fish itself was cooked well. It would have been nicer with a splash of something more than some fresh squeezed lemon. I'm not saying it was bad, just plain. 4 stars\nGnocchi con Gurancia di Maiale - perfect little pillows of spinach flavored gnocchi served with braised pork cheeks, mixed mushrooms, and sundried tomatoes in a Marsala demi glace cream sauce. 5 stars\nGamberi Fra Diavolo Shrimp served with spicy fresh tomato and white wine sauce over linguini. The linguine was great. The shrimp cooked well. The sauce could have had more heat. I added chili flakes. 5 stars\nChicken Parmesan served over house made linguine. The chicken was a little overcooked.4 stars\nRisotto Primavera - what a beautiful presentation! Perfectly cooked artichoke and asparagus risotto served encircled with a beautiful band of arugula pesto and a roasted garlic pomadoro. YUM! 5 stars\nThe least adventurous child ordered from children's menu - a double portion of ravioli. I don't think they were house made. However, he was very pleased. He remarked that he appreciated that the menu was not all hot dogs and chicken fingers. For that alone I'll give 4 stars\n\nDesserts: \nTira Misu served in a cappuccino cup. Every bite was bliss 5 stars\nCreme brulee - sadly they were out :-(\nCannoli - A lovely traditional tasting creamy filling in a nice crisp shell - no sog here! 5 stars\nIce cream - we didn't ask about it but if you are reading this, Il Granaio, at least offer gelato, not ice cream. Hazelnut please\nChocolate mousse - I don't think this was made in house. It was okay but not really moussy. It had the texture of a cheesecake. We expected a light fluffy mousse. Come on, make an effort for the chocolate dessert lovers. Neither kid ate more than 1/3 of this dessert. 2 stars\nCheesecake - It was a very heavy lemony cheesecake served with a raspberry coulis. I would have liked to have seen a nice light and fluffy lemony ricotta cheesecake. This could have been so much more. 3 stars\n\nFolks, if you make the right choices you can have a 5 star meal at this place. Try to avoid having Rinaldo wait on you. He was very forgetful and did not check up on us. We had to ask for grated cheese for our pasta. \n\nThe drinks took forever to get to us. We asked for butter 3 times, initially telling him we used a LOT OF BUTTER. They serve it in those little prepackaged 1\"x 1/2\" plastic tubs that you pull the top off of. Really? At least get Keller's pre-wrapped butter. If someone tells you in advance the table wants a LOT OF BUTTER then just bring a bowl of it. The host was fantastic. He's the one that finally got us the butter we needed, but again, just a small plate. Is there a butter shortage? If I go there again I'm bringing a stick of Kerrygold with me. \n\nAdvice: Put Reinaldo on as the host. Put the guy who hosted on Christmas Eve as a waiter. \nGet some nice Italian bread and a bread drawer warmer. I'd like to see some seeded bread and a hearty 5-7 grain bread. Your name is THE GRANERY. \nGet some advice from someone to add some atmosphere to that front room. We walked in and it looked like a fire hall. You have beautiful stone walls in the back room. Why not hire someone to paint some Italian grotto murals on the walls so the front room is every bit as atmospheric? \nI don't remember any music. Was there any? Some soft Italian instrumental music would be nice. \n\nWould I go there again? Absolutely. I think our bill was around $305 for 6 of us. You saw what we ordered. I think you can have a five star meal if you choose properly. We'll work our way through the menu and add more reviews as we go. Input by 3 adults, 3 kids ages 7, 10, and 13",
"Here on New Years Eve afternoon and everything was wonderful. I had the gnocchi and wife had the eggplant entree. Both were amazing and they helped out with her tomato allergy. The grilled octopus as an app was amazing. We even got treated to a limoncello shot at the end. Definitely coming back.",
"We have loved Il Granaio from several visits to the Glen Mills location. Imagine our surprise that they have opened a branch in our home town. My partner is a huge fan of the Veal Ragout; I have tried a number of their latest dishes. my partner loves the bread with white bean dip. We've already dined there 3 times. Superb service. In my opinion, the best food in town and I've tried them all."

"This much I know is true about Checkered Flag Tavern: the can and bottle beer is the coldest you'll find in the northern hemisphere, the locals that sit at the bar belch loudly, proudly and often, the women's room has a pair of toilets side by side with no dividing door or wall, and the food is so good you'll swear Paula freaking Deen and Bobby flipping Flay are 'working it' in the kitchen. Delicious fried frog legs? The best smoked hot wings that this hot wing diva has ever had? A burger that rivals my favorite Indy bar hamburger? Smoked ribs and pulled pork nachos that are WAY MORE BETTER-ER than places that specialize in BBQ fare? Yes, yes and yes. This place kills it.",
"I am not one that goes to dive bars, but we were hungry and this place had good reviews for their food, so my friend and I were game. We walked into VERY LOUD music, people hollering at one another, there was a poker game going on, all in all everyone seemed to be drunk and happy. People seemed to one another and even the guys who said they knew no one there, within minutes were chatting away with people. \n\nTHE FOOD\nSimply was GREAT. I had a BBQ burger, cooked perfectly, BBQ sauce along with fries were hot and very good. My friend had a breaded pork sandwich and he raved about it as well. Bartender was busy but stayed on top of everything. We were asked by another man that was likely the owner how the food was and told us that it does get loud in here. Overall it is a good place for great food, loud music, and the prices are great as well.",
"What a great unexpected meal! If you are looking for a low key tavern that's serves not only inexpensive beer but also some of the best food you've ever had, this is the place. The staff is super friendly and the smoked prime rib is out of this world. Try the smoked wings.",
"Small neighborhood bar with decent food, cheap drinks and new owner and chef. Pool table, juke box and nothing fancy just folks enjoying themselves. All starters, soup, salads and sandwiches are under $10.00. Dinners range from $9.50 - $20.00.\n\nLunch not as rowdy or loud as evening. Bartender was friendly and prompt with our orders. Fried Pickle Chips were great...not greasy and large basket for $4.50. \n\nNow for one of the Flag favorites. If you're looking for a heart attack on a bun or starving, or just need two meals, try \"The Big Pig Sandwich\" which is pulled pork, on top of smoked ham, on top of Bacon on a bun. BBQ sauce tasty! OH and it comes with fries. All for $8.00. Takes 3 hands to eat even cut in 1/2.\n\n\"Rajun Cajun Chicken Sandwich\", also a Flag favorite, is huge as well. Spicy blackened chicken breast topped with pepper jack cheese and cajun ranch sauce. LARGE, thick, tender chicken breast. Sandwich with french fries $7.50. I personally prefer withouth the ranch sauce only because it takes 10 paper towels to get through. I enjoy spice and blackend so I prefer just a bit more blackened which they will do if you ask. Either way, still a good sandwich.\n\nFood is good and for those wanting healthier options try one of their salads. BBQ Pork Salad, Southwest Chicken Salad, Chef Salad or Chicken Caesar Salad.\n\nThe only problem I can see, and has always been a problem, is parking. The front (maybe 10 spaces) is for motorcycle parking and only few spaces on both sides of building for vehicles. It is what it is!!! but you can park in local business next door after their business hours.\n\nBe sure to ask what Chef has prepared for the day. Food and drink specials daily. Fish Fry every Friday. Alaskan Walleye w/fries and coleslaw for $6.00 very popular.\n\nCheck the Calendar of Events times for Monday poker, Wednesday karaoke and Friday dart tournament.",
"Try the chicken wings and fried pickles.",
"The food is excellent! I had the pulled pork sandwich,it was smoked pork and the BBQ sauce was the right amount of sweet and tangy. Jan was our bartender,great lady. It didn't hurt that I won $510 on pull tabs!",
"WHOA WHOA WHOA! You this spot is a daggum truth. First time I went was a anniversary party, they had a BBQ buffet with all the side you could think...food was sooooooo good. But it was packed and the clientele, to be honest, on that day was a bit frightening. Being shived, I thought was an option. But I got past it. I made my way back for lunch this week. Yeah it is amazing. I got the garlicy ranch smoked wings to split with my lunch partner. TOP NOTCH! Thanks for the tip Libbie V! The special of the day was the beef brisket burger. This is in house smoke brisket folded into ground beef, then made into a perfect 8 oz patty. Served with an onion ring on top with some mayo and BBQ sauce. $8 for that and fries. This burger was huge and one of the best I have had. With every bite you got a hint of the smoke from the brisket. There is no way that I will not make this a monthly lunch or dinner spot. The converted old Roselyn Bakery sign is as nostalgic as it can get in Indy as well. Don't go though because if you do the secret will be out of the bag and I won't be able to get a seat the next time.",
"If you haven't been here for a couple weeks the NEW parking lot behind bar is paved, fenced and nicely landscaped. It looks wonderful and provides desperately needed additional parking! MAJOR improvements for the area since abandon houses are never attractive and help no one's property value. Sad Mark wasn't allowed to doze down both abandon and trashed houses to clean up both lots. Maybe the city will jump on that. Talk of more renovations coming in near future. Patio seating is available inside fenced area for those who prefer\n. \nA Dive bar with a 4-5 star review means something is being done well here. Not just bar fly's crawling to the closest watering hole as I've heard said. The reviews speak for themselves. The food brings us back and affordable beverages are always a big plus. Daily food and drink specials. Nothing pretentious here and I enjoy the freedom of \"wear whatever\" dining. Another best of is Juke Box always played LOUD with a nice selection of music. Johnny Cash to Metal could be playing at any time so play on!\n\nHot Wings are EXCELLENT and my personal favorites here while the BBQ (close 2nd), The Big Pig, and Rajun Cajun Chicken Sandwiches always delish. Perfectly cooked burgers, including the Bison Burger, are popular as well with men in my family. Fish on Fridays is a given! French Fries are skin on and cooked perfectly with the exception of past trip. Onion Ring order served with 4 large rings and 4/5 for taste but in my opinion overpriced. I try to satisfy this craving elsewhere that's just as scrumptious but with more rings and cheaper (Pit Stop BBQ).\n \nMark, the owner, is super cool to talk with about different smoking woods being currently used. The man knows how to smoke meats! He's mentioned exploring some new menu options for specials and I've yet to hit the right day for those. Our servers are always great and a lot of fun. The crowd is a live and let live type of crowd with majority being regulars. I've run into folks who have driven quite a distance (over hour so far) to get their Checkered Flag fix.\n\nFew topics to highlight before first visit: 1) NO beer on tap so be forewarned; 2) Women's restroom has two stalls WITH a dividing wall but NO individual stall doors. The one door covering stall area does NOT latch and close. When the restroom door is opened body parts will be exposed to sightseers if you're sitting to far forward; 3) Its Indianapolis rules for bar smoking so NO smoking indoors or within 8 feet of the door. Yes confusing since bars couple miles away can smoke indoors. It is what it is. Don't fuss! 4) Motorcycles have marked parking spaces in front of bar so try to use as last resort and 5) Paper towels located on tables so dive in cause the food is GOOD.",
"A hole in the wall. Looks rough but the big pig sandwich was awesome. I would go back.",
"This place is awesome. Perfect spot to wait for a delayed flight. Cold beer, great wings, clean and nice. Gotta stop here."

"The best Mama's location for the best NY style pizza in Tucson. \n\nThis is the kind of place that serves slices the size of an average person's torso. They come on an extra-large pizza's pan and can take a group effort or heavy folding to eat. Won't be the tastiest NY slice you've ever had, but defiantly worth the 2.50 price of admission.\n\nMy favorite thing here are actually the eggplant Parmesan heroes which are also mammoth and well worth the 5.50 price. But you also have to try a Sicilian pizza here sometime with some fried mushrooms for starters.\n\nOn top of all that, Mama's has got a serious low-lit, ultra-comfy, good-time 80s pizza parlor vibe. And it of course has the Galaga/Ms. Pac Man combo machine while you are waiting for your pizza or working up an appetite for more. Some Lionel Richie comes on and I feel like I'm in a scene from Brewster's Millions or something. And as the five star rating implies, I often wish I was in Brewster's Millions.",
"Being from Brooklyn, with a fine appreciation of thin crust, I was delighted to find this place in Tucson. Reminds me of the greasy pizza I used to get as a kid. Greasy, while not immediately triggering a heart attack, is a requirement for good thin crust Bklyn style pizza. A unique pizza to get is the ENORMOUS family style pizza. It's in a class of it's own.\n\nI have eaten in and ordered take out. They are very responsive when you call and are very good with scheduling a pickup time (thus making sure the pizza doesn't turn into congealed cheese by the time you get home).\n\nFeed the beast at Mama's and you will remember your old Bklyn days...even if you grew up in Chicago ;-)",
"Good pizza. \n\nJust don't sit in the table in the corner. That's \"Mama's\" table and it's always empty.\n\nIf Michael Corleone invites you to eat there, DO NOT GO. This is the Tucson equivalent of the Italian Restaurant in The Godfather.",
"I live in Phx but always go to Mamma's when I am in town. i have been a customer since the 1980's. Hands down they have the best NY style pizza in the entire state. I even feel their pizza is better than some places I have eaten in NY. They have 4 locations now, so enjoy but was told last night they closed the campus location which was their first one. That seemed sad to me. A whole generation of carless Wildcats will miss out. ( And I am a Sundevil alum-lol but a Wildcat told me of the place so I have to be nice!) I have been liking their Pesto salad pizza as of late but their NY Italian style pizza is by far the best! They have these large pizzas that a family of 10 can't even finish so if you have a big hungry crowd get the family pizza. I love the service too. Went to the Kolb location last night and talked with the nicest young man. Hey Mammas please come to Phx! Pretty please??????Ok, I would be huge that's true, but pretty happy!MANGA!",
"Pizza is pizza unless it's really good and this wasn't really good. I think this used to be an ice cream parlor because the booths all have stained glass separators with ice cream cones, lame! Just way to standard for me to consider a second visit and with Tucson being flooded with way better pizza than Mama's it's simply a no for me thanks.",
"I really like this place. It's like it's from the old days of pizza places in the 1970s or 1980s in Arizona (maybe everywhere), but that's exactly what makes it both comfortable and fun. And the pizza was pretty good too.",
"The place to go for an enormous slice of thin-crust pepperoni pizza. The taste is average. The quality varies. Frequently it is partially cooked as a cheese pizza. When you order they put the additional toppings on and finish the cooking. Sometimes it comes out perfect but usually not. For a better thin crust pizza I would recommend Zona 78 and Sauce.",
"Good pizza - huge slices, HUGE pies, good prices, and the appetizers are also good. I miss the old University location, but if I feel like making the drive, I'm not disappointed. Glad you're still around, Mama's.",
"I've lived here 15 years and Mama's is the only place I've found with authentic NY style pizza. It has great balance and tastes delicious wioth just cheese on it. Get the family size pizza, but only if you have a big car.....the family size pizza is about 3 feet around!",
"We decided to try Mama's on a recommendation from a co-worker. We ordered a Sicilain Pizza with three toppings. The price was $26. If you like crust as thick as a layer of a cake, this pizza is for you. We found it had too little toppings for the price, which was $1.75 for each topping added. \nI doubt we'll be calling Mama's again anytime soon for a pizza."

"Had the chicken alfredo. But could have easily filled up on the salad and bread before the main course got to me! The bread is great and the pasta didn't disappoint, either! The hand-made noodles were a great touch, as well!",
"I went to Stefano's last night with a group of 5 people and we were all thoroughly impressed by this new downtown addition. The restaurant just opened last Saturday but they are already getting their feet on the ground. The restaurant is owned by the same folks who run Maurizio's pizza in the downtown area. The menu shows many similarities, although don't be mistaken, the fare is far from the same. \n\nThe entrees come with a complimentary side salad as well as fresh baked bread. My Caesar salad had an excellent dressing that made me forget all about my upcoming entree. That soon passed when the main course arrived with handmade pasta (all of their pasta is handmade!). My tortellini shells had the perfect consistency that just can't be store bought. The Alfredo sauce on the Pasta Con Broccoli was very rich and creamy. Definitely something to be savored. Additionally, the mushrooms perfectly captured the roasted garlic flavor and were quite tasty.\n\nIn addition to the great food, Stefano's has excellent service. Our waitress was super attentive and very friendly with our table. She really went out of her way to make sure everyone was satisfied. There was also a separate waiter who would swing by to pour our wine when our glasses began to dwindle. It was a very nice touch indeed.\n\nStefano's is an excellent addition to an area of Wash Ave that is lacking in decent restaurants. The owners of Maurizio's knew exactly how to deliver excellent Italian food in a classier setting. I can't wait to go again in a couple of weeks when the staff start thinking up delicious specials!",
"Stefano's occupies the space formerly inhabited by 10th Street Italian. It's truly in an inconspicuous location, so I suspect they're trying to hit the worker drone lunch crowd, the convention crowd, and based on their late night hours, the drunken Washington Avenue crowd.\n\nActually, there's another crowd they can handle -- the breakfast crowd -- they open at freaking 6:00 AM. And they have breakfast pizzas. And I can't speak to any of this outside of the menu. So I'll move on to dinner.\n\nThe beautiful wife and I took advantage of a restaurant.com coupon to visit this spot tonight. I'm glad we did. I think they're offering something sorely lacking Downtown -- a mid-range Italian/pizza place.\n\nThe interior is pretty small -- I believe they have 10-12 tables and 6 or 8 seats at the bar. It doesn't really feel crowded, but then again, outside of the party of six, we were the only other patrons there (outside of an occasional person picking up a pizza). There's a flatscreen on the wall next to the bar, but beyond that, there's not too many distractions (unless you're have a phobia of grapes. There are a plethora of grape portraits).\n\nWe started off with the bruschetta -- it is listed as \"traditional and pesto\" with a Kalamata tapenade. Six pieces, three with each topping and a big scoop of tapenade. Now, it wasn't bad, but I sort of with they would have given some \"blanks\" to use for the tapenade. But still, it was good.\n\nThe beautiful wife had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. I'll let her write a review, but it was truly one of the better Alfredo's I've had (though I'm generally not a fan). I had their New York style pizza (kick my backside Provel fans) -- The Sicilian, with a bounty of meats upon it. The crust had nice color and flavor to it. The meats were tasty (especially the sausage). My only gripe was that New York style pizzas need to be cut wider for folding. Yeah, it's petty, but rather than cutting this 11\" puppy into 8 slices, 4 would have been awesome. Needless to say, this isn't your standard Maurizio's pizza -- it's way better.\n\nThe only gripe I'll give to the food are the rolls they serve. These are along the lines of those yeasty dinner rolls that you get at Thanksgiving from the grocery store. Anything would have been better -- if they had just cut up some slices of the baguette they used for the bruschetta, it would have been fine.\n\nService was up to par -- with it being fairly empty, food might have been a little rushed, but it wasn't anything too horrible. Actually, service was really friendly -- we got a big round of \"thanks\" when we left. \n\nThey have a full bar (at least they have 3 Olives vodka) and a decent selection of wines and bottled beers. And a dessert menu that was glimpsed at but not sampled.\n\nI foresee future visits here, coupons or not!",
"Some friends and I went to Stefano's after our morning workout at the gym. It is great to have a place that opens early (6:00 AM). We were at the restaurant before 7:00 AM and sat at a table on the sidewalk. The service was great. I wish I could remember our server's name because she great. I ordered an eggwhite omelet with veggies and my friends had breakfast wraps. My omelet was the best I've had in St. Louis and I've eaten breakfast all over town, including the breakfast venues in the CWE and Clayton. The coffee was go good I went back the next morning to get a cappucino to go. Then two days later I took my husband back for breakfast. He had a breakfast pizza and I had the biscuits and gravy. Again, the food was excellent. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately on this visit we had a different server who did not return to our sidewalk table to refill our coffee cups. Everything we needed we had to wave her back ask for. She didn't bring cream or milk for our coffee. Didn't even ask if anyone wanted cream. We had to wave her back to the table and ask for it. We had to ask for water and refills. Then after an extended wait we had to again ask for a check; another wait and then ask for a box to take the extra breakfast pizza with us. She never asked can if she could get anything for us after the initial order was placed, it was only after a request. Couldn't she routinely ask if we were ready for refills or do we need a box or is there anything else? Hopefully on future visits waitress number 2 will have her act together or we will get the waitress number 1 from my first visit who was attentive and certainly knew her job. You won't be disappointed in the food at Stefano's but you may be disappointed in service.",
"Just had the calamari for an appetizer and the pasta primavera, never had anything better. Sauce was a vegetable marinara. Came with a salad and rolls. They also have quit a wine list, the Riesling was great. Will definitely come back again.",
"It's hard for me to keep a secret, and I really can't hold it in any longer. Stefano's is one of the best pizza pie's in town. You can thank me later. Just get the cheese pizza, and you will be satisfied.\n\nThis place is tucked away downtown off of 10th St. with all the rest of the hipster places that only people who live downtown know about. The food here is excellent. The atmosphere was nice and quaint, I don't want to say casual, but more like a urban-casual-coffeehouse vibe with a restaurant thrown on top. We went in on a weeknight and it wasn't very crowded at all. I think it hasn't been open long though.\n\nOne of us had the pizza, one of us had the calzone, and the other had a chicken pasta dish that was excellente! The pizza takes the cake. It is classic NY style. I am not from Brooklyn, but if I was, I would say that this pie reminds me of my childhood. I just felt like a New Yorker trying a piece of it. \nThe calzone was doubly tasty - I ordered it with ham and pepperoni - their standard choice. The best part about it was the marinara sauce. This sauce was on the same level as the tomato sauce that goes on top of a Pi pizza - just awesome and bursting with tomato flavor. Even the waiter commented that he had worked at many italian restaurants and this was some of the best marinara he has ever had.\nWe were so stuffed we didn't eat dessert, but one table sitting outside ordered this dessert that literally looked like a giant hunk of chocolate and I could tell by each bite they took that it was savory goodness. \n\nI can't wait to go back and try the pizza again.",
"I went here for breakfast today. Wow. Very reasonably priced (especially for a spot near a convention hotel) and VERY Good. I don't think breakfast is hard to make, but it is hard to serve it hot and to order. My eggs were perfect, the toast was warm, the hash browns were divine, and my 15 month old got the bacon before I had a taste. I went for two large cappucinos- yummy. Service was spot on- not fussy but attentive. I would definitely go back for other meals and to try the Italian food. Clean, well decorated, comfortable to be in.",
"I visited Stefano's at lunch on Saturday for a carry out order. My initial impression was that it seemed similar to how it was when it was 10th St. Italian. There were several diners and more came in during my wait for my order. \n\nI was greeted as I sat down at the counter and stated I wanted to place an order for carryout. James waited on me and offered a glass of water while I looked at the menu. Several other of the wait staff (there were about 5) checked to make sure I had been taken care of. \n\nI decided on a pepperoni pizza and spaghetti with meatballs the latter came with a side salad. James input the food order at 11:54 pm. At around 12:05 the pasta and salad were put in the window. I waited....and waited.....and waited.....still no pizza. James checked several times with the kitchen and kept saying just a few minutes longer. As my spaghetti kept getting colder and colder in the window. Finally, at 12:22 the pizza was put in the window. Let me do the math........ the other part of my food sat in the window for 17 minutes. I let James know that I didn't appreciate how the order was handled by the kitchen. I know it wasn't his fault and he was young and maybe didn't think of telling them to redo my other food. He did apologize.\n\nWhen I finally got home, three of us split the salad, spaghetti and pizza. The salad was just a typical salad and the house dressing was different and just ok. For the spaghetti all I can say is the oregano shaker must have dumped it's entire contents into the meatball mix and the sauce. Wow, I like oregano but not even close to as overpowering as it was. I was especially disappointed since as I waited 28 minutes for my carryout, all the dishes being served smelled so good. The pizza was very good. Just the right amount of sauce, cheese and pepperoni. I enjoyed the crust and the oregano that was so overpowering in the spaghetti and meetballs was just a hint on the pizza, I was grateful! \n\nThe pizza and the friendly waits staff saved this from being a one star.",
"I was excited about this place. 10th Street Italian was our favorite cheap eats spot, unfortunately they never seemed to be open evenings and weekends. We were looking for a better downtown pizza and we did not find it. It's not bad, it just seems about the same as another place downtown. I need to reserve judgment on the rest of the menu. Patio seating available.",
"At first I was bummed that 10th Street Italian closed. Now I'm over it. Stefano's is a great addition to the downtown dining scene - great service, great food, great prices, and (gasp) it's open every day!\n\nI've been three times - twice with my husband for dinner and once with a larger group for brunch. I've yet to be disappointed. The chicken marsala I got on my first visit was delicious (and huge!) and the breakfast pizza I had for brunch was an outstanding hangover cure. \n\nThe atmosphere is comfortable and casual but still has a bit of a \"cool\" factor with two unobtrusive televisions over the bar and vibrant photos throughout. The prices are reasonable, if not downright cheap. Outdoor seating is also available. Love it!"

"Some spots on Passyunk remind me of streets in Amsterdam for some reason. And if this place wasn't serving great beers and food, I would think I was about to grab some papers and get to work. Great semi dark interior, tv's for the games, dining area etc..I stopped in and met some friends to finish out a college game late Saturday afternoon and had a great time. Perfect bar before dinner or add to your roster of nights of South Philly boozin..Clark the owner is a good guy and definitely seems to know the business well..Cheers!",
"13 is one of my favorite numbers (I feel that holding bad luck so closely can lead to good luck). So that was the first incentive for me to check out this place when I saw it listed in Philly Weekly. The second incentive was seeing the Sailor Jerry style tattooed women that was it's logo, and reading that they hooked up food like mushroom risotto and mac and cheese. I also liked the idea that it was another place to explore in Passyunk, and that it was more than a little bit punk rock. Just like me. I meant to go sooner, but sometimes I'm a total slacker :(\n\nBut my punk rock friend from Cleveland was visiting South Philly during the holidays and we needed a good bar to reminisce in. So I figured what could be better? And I found Lucky 13 to be a bar that more people need to know about. As soon as I walked in I was happy to hear Misfits blaring on the jukebox. But it was well rounded enough to offer Devo, Bowie, The Pixies, Weezer, Lou Reed and then some! The beer selection was perfect albeit a little more on the hoppy side of the spectrum, and they even hooked up a city wide special. If the Mushroom risotto didn't have a squash that tasted like sweet potatoes (one of my kryptonites!) it would have been one of the best I've ever had. next time I going to have to keep it simple with the comfort of mac and cheese and chicken wings.\n\nSo as long as 13 leads to good music, beer, and food than it might just be lucky for all of us. Now I'm going to have to go and rain on Jason's parade.",
"The food is great. The beer selection is reasonable. The jukebox is awesome. Clark is a good guy. For the love of god I hate seeing a good bar being ruined by hipsters. Oh hipsters, go away. Isn't that why the POPE exists?",
"I feel like this is one of those reviews that will be edited in the future, hopefully with more stars added. I say this because I found the bar itself to be very comfortable and welcoming. The dimly lit interior replete with framed photos of rock n roll icons made me feel like I was hanging out in someone's basement, which I adore. In terms of a place to drink that is local, reasonably priced, has a good selection and is comfortable and friendly, Lucky 13 excels. \n However on my first visit, I had the misfortune of ordering the \"deconstructed meatball sandwich.\" What I received was a healthy portion of rubbery, greasy orbs in a thin, salty broth that was without any zest or seasoning whatsoever served along side three slices of mediocre garlic bread. The bread was okay, but the meatballs and broth were completely inedible. I should note, however, that both of my companions enjoyed their meals, and the mac n cheese I tasted was decent, if lacking in pepper.\n Having said all that, I recognize that the place is pretty new, and is sure to suffer some off nights and some growing pains as it establishes itself. I will definitely return and try the food again and, baring a successful meal, I would certainly love to belly up to the bar here for a few beers if not to eat dinner. What Lucky 13 has that is missing from many local places is heart. The waitstaff and owner were extremely nice and talkative. That alone is worth a return trip.",
"Nice addition to the South Philly pub scene. Good luck finding it if you're not used to the area...\n\nThe atmosphere is cool although a bit cramped at the bar. Head for the tables in the back if you have a group.\n\nThe food is amazing. At first, I doubted the many cuisine influences on the menu (Mexican, French, Italian, American, etc.); but I was sold after my first plate of merguez sausage & peppers style. Merguez is one of my favorite foods: moroccan lamb sausage (I suspect they may make it themselves). But italian style with onions, peppers and gravy? Well it's delicious !!! I had it again since ;)\n\nI hope to hang at Lucky 13 more and try more of the international dishes soon.",
"Eat Samosas, drink Kenzinger and relax because you can actually talk. It's getting tough to just talk in a bar up in our nhood lately...so loud. Solid jukebox and it's not too loud, great concept. I think hipsters dig on insanely loud jukes b/c they don't really have anything interesting to say to anyone. \n\nSit down and play Pac Man. Finally.",
"I was just in here briefly, but found the place fairly impressive. The beers on tap included that crazy Golden Monkey and a few other hipster friendly beers like Kenzinger and such (takeout available). There's cool posters of Elvis Costello and the Specials and the Clash on the wall, and the jukebox is A+. The menu seemed reasonable and tasty as well. We only ordered the mac and cheese, but it was delicious and it helped ease the previous night's hangover. The bartenders are quite pretty- and if that doesn't suffice for eye candy, a trip to the men's room surely will.",
"Love it. Great bar, great bartender, great food. And your bartender pridefully owns it after 20 plus years slavin' for the man. Great music, not too loud, but very cool.",
"I've been there a couple times over the last month and I love this spot. The bartender Clark can make a drink and make you smile. The food is top notch. I recommend the deconstructed meatballs and the mac and cheese. a little tight but its South Philly. What do you expect? A+ for the mens room decor.",
"The place is small, just like it's menu. For such a small joint, there's a lot of character and heart that comes out! Especially in the food...\n\nBEST MAC & CHEESE EVER. Hands down. I know my mac & cheese and this was absolutely perfect. First of all they used penne pasta. Very neat :) Excellent choice. Then the sauce was to die for... it wasn't really runny or too think. It just perfectly covered the penne, in yummy goodness :) The bread crumbs on top were key too. Kudos Lucky 13... Kudos... \n\nThe deconstructed meatballs were quite awesome as well. You could tell the cook just balled them out and cooked them. Excellent flavoring and spices. The garlic bread, covered with mozzarella completed the meal. So tasty! My mouth is watering, writing this.\n\nI'm definitely going to head back for some more of that mac & cheese & and try out the bar...\n\nDecor gets a plus too ;)"

"One day while looking for some take-out, I stopped here and decided and to order some of their Honey BBQ wings. It's been a long time since I've had any Honey BBQ wings that I liked. Ever since KFC changed to no trans-fat food, their wings have really been awful, but these wings from Buffalo Wild Wings were delicious, I couldn't put them down. Normally I eat about six or seven wings and I am full, but I had to finish all the ones I ordered this time because it was just that good. Pretty delicious and take-out comes quick.",
"When I lived in the area it was almost a weekly given that my friends and I would be here on cheap wing day (Tuesday?) or cheap bonesless wing day (Thursday?). The sauce options are pretty numerous. However, if there isn't some sort of deal it's not really worth the cost to me.\n\nThey do have quite a few tvs and trivia to keep you entertained while you wait for your food to arrive.",
"As far as wings in the Brandon area go, this place is my favorite. They offer a large variety of sauces displayed on your menu from \"smilin'\" (mild) to \"screamin'\" (pretty frickin hot!). What I really enjoy is it's not just mild, hot, hotter, hottest. They offer flavors throughout the range like sweet bbq or teriyaki on the mild end, spicy garlic or carribean jerk in the middle on up to mango habanero or blazin' on the very hot end. And those are just 6 of the 14 sauces they offer. I haven't taken advantage of it yet because I haven't really discovered how to cook wings at home but they do offer their sauces for sale in 12 oz bottles. \n\nThey do offer many other menu items as well such as burgers, ribs, salads and other snackies. There is a full bar with what seems to me as a non-beer drinker to be a pretty wide variety of draft and bottled beers. I think there's something like 30 different kinds of beers offered, maybe more. They have a coupon/e-club you can join and you'll get coupons on the odd occasion and notice of specials. They have specials on traditional and boneless wings on two respective days of the week. I think Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you sign up for the eclub it will remind you about it the first weeks of your membership on the list. \n\nI recently got to try a rib and wing combo platter and the ribs were very good too. Excellent coleslaw as well! The servers are always nice and it's got a ton of TVs if you want to be there to watch some type of sports game. Typically they seem to have just about anything playing. The prices are fair. If you're in it for wings they are cheaper than at hooters and they will also allow you to have some wings in some sauces and some wings in others which is cool. I believe there's a minimum to how many wings can be in one sauce but it's fairly low. I believe only 5-6 have to be in one sauce, so if you're getting a few people together for 20-30 wings you can try out several sauces.",
"Just bad food. How cheap do you have to be to not even carry plates?? No plates, no silverware, terribly over cooked wings, lousy service. Anything good? Hmm, the asian hot sauce is flavorful. Do yourself a favor, buy a jar to go and avoid the horrific experience of trying to eat at this laughable establishment.",
"The food? I can't rave about the food because I love it so much!!! I'm a buffalo wing-aholic. Especially with the BWW Arnold Palmer to wash it down. The food is terrific, arrives at a good pace, is at a good temperature and flavor... no complaints at all.\n\nLike other BWW, its sports allegiances are strange because of the dozens of TV's scattered throughout. I've seen chess matches, baseball, wrestling, TV dramas and more. Once we called the restaurant ahead of time to watch a USF football game-- and they told us they were going to play it-- only to arrive and be told in person that they weren't showing the game. \n\nLast Sunday there was a Rays game AND a Bucs game playing... the place was packed. I guess Rays fans ate the Bucs for breakfast because although the TV's played the Bucs game as well, the audio was dominated by the Rays.\n\nAs for the servers, they've always been really attentive and nice. Even during the impregnated crowd on Sunday, our server still handled us like we were the only ones there...",
"3.5 stars\n\nStandard chain that has a good bar food selection. Came here for some sliders and grandma was not disappointed. The fries are good and I hear the wings are pretty good too (let's hope so, \"Wings\" are in the name). They have standard drinks, beers, as well as some pretty unusual drink concoctions like Guinness and Orange Juice?? \n\nThe TV's are huge and plentiful and this place would be perf to come and watch a game with friends.\n\nOur waitress Tegan was very friendly and pleasant and made a mediocre bar experience a great one.",
"Love Bdubs! Great wings, tons of sauces to choose from, and it's a great location to catch the game! This Brandon location is a little slow with their service. The waitresses are good, but their kitchen is horrendously slow, and I can't imagine why. As someone who once worked for BW3 up in Tallahassee (where they don't have servers, it's seat yourself and pick up food when your buzzer goes off), I think the fact that there are servers makes the service worse because the kitchen feels they can take longer. Before, you'd wait maybe 8 minutes for your food -- now it's seriously 15-20... and that's for 2 simple wraps, no apps... nothing complicated! And I'm talking about lunchtime on a weekday when there's hardly anyone at the bar and maybe 2-3 other tables total. Still...good food.",
"This place usually has great service! We come here quite often and have only had bad service a couple times. Food is good. We love their wraps.",
"I agree with some of the reviews on here. The food is good, espeically their wings, but a bit pricey and unless your sitting AT the bar, the service isnt all that great either. I like the selections of beer they have on tap. Especially the Guiness. When it comes to watching a sports game, this is the place to come and watch it on their many tv's.",
"The wing place formerly known as BW3s (insert buffalo with wings symbol here) and I have a history. I loved this place with it's NTN trivia, spicy garlic wings and cold beer so much that in college, I signed up to work behind the counter. Finally, all the smiley fries I could eat, smothered in cheese and wings soaking in whatever sauce my little heart desired. It made me what I am today: A chicken wing elitist. \n\nUnlike most wing places whose lame sauce selection only knows words like \"mild\", \"medium\", and \"hot\", Buffalo Wild Wings has about 16 different sauces to \"spin\" your wings in ranging from tangy, creamy, fruity, spicy and crazy hot. They make it easy to bust out the trunk and play dress up with your food. For every 6 wings/drummies you order you can try a new sauce! I recommend the (in the order of heat) Honey BBQ, Spicy Garlic, Caribbean Jerk, and Blazin'- if you can handle it. Chicken...\n\nBesides yummy wings, you should definitely add a side of FRIED PICKLES!!! or sour cream and onion potato wedges. Get enough to share, no joke. And if you are with someone who thinks wings are grody, drag them along anyways because the menu is huge and full of chicken wing-free options, even salads.\n\nIf you are a sports fan, there is even more reason to hit up Buffalo Wild Wings. The entire place is decked out for game day. HUGE TVs at every turn will have multiple games on at a time to ensure that each fan has the best view of all the important games. The atmosphere is pleasant- great for families and friends. It seems more like a destination than a restaurant.\n\nIf you aren't into sports (like me) don't worry they've got other things on the docket like karaoke, trivia and other fun things like that. Call to find out what's on before you go, just in case you think karaoke ruins the sound of you licking your fingers. \n\nBrandon has trivia on Mondays, $0.45 wing Tuesdays and $0.60 Boneless Wings on Thursdays.\n\nLook, I love them, but I don't actively seek out chicken wings. I'm not that kind of person. They can be thin, leathery, covered in turpentine. It's more risky than playing craps in Vegas and if you aren't lucky, you might get just that. All I know is that I've never been disappointed with my anything here and I pretty much refuse to eat wings anywhere else. I only wish I had more room in my stomach and that is the wing's honest truth. \n\nPS: If you sit at the bar, ask for Erin the bartender, she rules!!"

"EXCELLENT SERVICE. we might get the star treatment every time we go because my boyfriend's mother used to work here and she knows most people here, including Dave, who has been our server the two times i was here. Dave is the most friendly and outgoing and on point server i have ever met! He is a resturant owners dream. The thing that stands out about this place is the enormous portions. The food is very good, but i do wish there were more healthy options.",
"I saw Kevin's review and couldn't pass up the chance to throw my two cents in also. My family has had many dinners here for special occasions such as milestone birthdays and high school and college graduations. Despite always having a reservation, we usually have to wait a little while for our table. Understandable, since the place is always packed on weekends. My grandfather usually just leads everyone in a round of drinks at the bar. \n\nOnce seated, the service ranges from pretty good to great. As mostly everyone has mentioned, the chicken parm is huge and delicious. We always have leftovers.\n\nSomehow, after the rounds of bread, salad and entrees, we soldier on for the best part of the meal--strawberry and vanilla ice cream crepes. Two or three orders will easily feed a group of 10. \n\nGeorgine's definitely isn't a spot I would think to go normally, but for an affordable family dinner, it's a great choice.",
"Georgine's has good food and you get a lot for the money. I had the chicken parm - it was great and like others have said HUGE! Service in the dining room was good - not great, and it's definitely a noisy place.\n\nWe stood around for a good 15-20 minutes to even get our name put on the list at a REALLY disorganized hostess stand - I would have left after about 10 (as a few people did in front of us in line) but my friend really wanted to eat there.",
"I have been going to Georgine's since I was in middle school with my family. We often go for special occasions such as Mother's Day, Easter, etc. but we have visited other times for dinner, as well as using the location for two banquets upstairs.\n\nFood Quality:\nOverall, the food quality is excellent. This is what keeps us coming back to Georgine's. As mentioned in other reviews, the portions are huge and you typically leave with leftovers. The stuffed flounder and crab imperial are wonderful, and you cannot go wrong with other Italian dishes such as the veal. During the special holidays, Georgine's has a special menu that includes a soup, salad, entree, bread and cheese board, and dessert for one price. The Triple Chocolate Mousse is an excellent dessert, and one of my favorites. The drinks are pretty good; however, there is nothing on draft. The catered banquet food such as the roast beef is also very good.\n\nService & Ambiance:\nAs mentioned previously, the service varies. If you receive Dave as your waiter, you will be in for an excellent and entertaining meal with impeccable service (he will bring you extra homemade dressing, extra vegetables, etc, just ask!). Other wait staff varies, yet the hostess stand is occasionally snippy and somewhat disorganized. Reservations often mean a 20 minute wait, at least. One time, we waited an hour and 1/2 for Valentine's Day, and this was with a \"reservation.\" Additionally, service was poor on this visit and we were placed in the Comedy Club Room which was loud and somewhat dirty (food was on the floor and bins of food were left around the room). Understandably, it was busy, and the food was worth the wait, but still, they need to either stop taking so many reservations and turn people away or hire more staff.\n\nPrice:\nA delicious crab imperial meal for less than $18. Where else can you find this? The prices are incredibly reasonable for main dishes; drinks are about average.\n\nOverall, Georgine's is a solid four stars. Service depends on the waiter/waitress and the day, but the food is worth every penny! Enjoy!",
"This has been one of my favorites since I was young. They have never disappointed. Every meal is top notch. Standouts are Veal Parmesan and Veal Georgine. In recent years I can't get past those two I find myself craving one or the other and don't even look at the rest of the menu.\n\nAs mentioned in most of the reviews here the portions are unbelievable.\nI've never left without leftovers.",
"I've been here several times and I always have leftovers. I've had probably a total of more than 10 different dishes on their menu. I'd give all those an average of 4 stars -- I added 1 star extra 'cuz for each dish is good for 2 people. You have to go through the full bar to get to your seating area. The full bar smells like cigarette smoke. For that, 1 star, lol. Their service, 5 stars. I don't have anything negative comments about this place. It's just missing the \"wow\" factor that's why it isn't a 5.",
"Came to this place by hear say. A friend who regulars this restaurant told me to take my Italian food lover man here for a meal. Im glad we did. \nIts more then you expect from the outside, and even the waiting bar area doesnt give you an idea of the decor as you enter into the eating area. Its large and full of levels. We got the upstairs with a view of a chandler. I loved it. Reminded me of the Settlers Inn (medford, Nj) \nThe Service was perfect. Just the right mix of care and home feel youd want from a family establishment. You didnt go thristy or without bread. They have a cheesy spead and garlic butter with the loaf. Different, Tasty.. \nOur meals where huge. Chicken Parm and Baked Trout. Nothing to complain about there. For price and taste, If your just looking to fullfill some home cooked tasty Italian craving, and this place is close, Do stop in. Wait, def stop in.",
"Food was delicious. Four course meal for a great price. \n\nFresh bread with homemade cheddar cream cheese and/or cream cheese, chives and parsley. Yumfest!\n\nFirst came the salad. It left a lot to be desired but it was fresh none the less.\n\nNext I ordered the broccoli cheese soup - YUM! it was so good I refused to finish it because I knew I would be too full for my entree. \n\nThen came the scallops Georgine which were delish and in a great dipping sauce for bread. Needed a little more seasoning and a better presentation. Scallops were perfectly cooked. In a word, Delectable. \n\nEntree was Steak Judy which came with broccoli and swam in an ocean of cheese sauce. Steak was PERFECT (medium rare) but the cheese sauce was upsetting. I had to actually eat my steak on my bread plate. Family style veggies were great but my family loves veggies so I didn't get much. \n\nDessert was cheesecake with fresh strawberries that I ordered to go so I'm not sure how it is but I'm not worried. \n\nLynn was our waitress and was happy to wrap everything for us quickly and efficiently.\n\nWould try again, minus the cheese sauce.",
"The food was fine, I would probably say 3 star range and the servings were larger than normal.\n\nThings we didn't like about the place. \n\n1) The service was horrible, the waitress just showed up the absolute minimum that she had to. We were trying to arrange some type of cake for the birthday girl at the table but she never seemed to be around. So we gave up and just ordered her desert from the regular menu. She was also very rude when the check came, see point # 2.\n\n2) They charge for every drink refill as if it was your first, no mention of that from the waitress or on the menu. So when the check came, when asked, she said yes you get charged. We asked why she never mentioned that as every place we go to does not or will have it posted clearly. She became rude and said thats the way it is as she took the bill and the credit card.\n\n3) The birthday girl is 11, so at one point when I was away from the table was approached by a bus boy who gave her a picture of a cat and started talking to her. Clearly inappropriate, please control your staff!\n\nNeedless to say, we will not be stopping by any time soon.",
"If there is one constant in life it's Georgine's. We've been coming here since the mid eighties. We have never left without a doggie bag for everyone in our party. We went tonight for dinner and my husband and I had Veal parm and my cousin had the Trout. As usual the Veal was hanging over the edge of the plate. Marinara sauce was not heavy like some places, it was a perfect compliment to the veal. Cuz's Trout was mouth wateringly tender. i had brocolli chedder soup, my husband had snapper soup. Cuz had scallop georgine as an appetizer. Veggies and potatoes served family style.\n\nAs i said we've been coming here for the better part of two decades. The filet is bigger than I have ever had anywhere else. The taste of the filet is perfect. No wild seasonings just a Steak and salt and peper. Then there is thye Veal Oscar. A huge pile of Veal medalions topped with 3/4 of a pound of crabmeat, topp that off with fresh asparagus and then Hollindais sauce. My daughter has had them make her shrimp parm when it wasn't on the menu. the wait staff is wonderful. They go out of their way to make your visit a pleasurable experience. \nThe three of us have been doing dinner at least every three weeks ans our average dinners run around $150. That is drinks, appetizers, soups, and main entree. Tonight's dinner was $95.\n \nAs for people who have complained re: poor service/rude servers, again this has never been an issue for me. I have always found the staff to be exceptional. \nAs to Eric D's comment regarding drink refills, are you really going to worry about a charge for a refill with the sheer quanity of food that is served? If it is that important to him maybe he should ask first next time. \nAnd what did he think a busboy was going to do to an 11yr old in a crowded restaurant? The only thing innappropriate is that type of thinking. \nI will keep going to Georgine's for many years to come. Next time the Veal Oscar w/xtra hollindais."

"Very nice new addition in the Eastlake Woodlands area between Oldsmar and Palm Harbor. This brew pub is located in the space that used to belong to Hoppers. The proprietor Franz used to be the brewmaster for the Hoppers chain, but he does not (yet) have his brew equipment running. Still, they have a very good guest beer selection.\n\nThis is the only place I've ever had sauerkraut in the United States that is done properly (which means it tastes good and not the junk you often find). The pork wild wings are fantastic and the pizza can be as well... the crust may be the best in the area. \n\nI expect this place to get even better with time and the addition of beers brewed on site.",
"In a word: phenomenal.\n\nI don't need to say more, but I will. This place is truely a gem. We spent our new years here while on vacation and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A unique and authentic glass for each (incredible) brew, and really good food. Even for a vegetarian!...my boyfriend loved his schnitzel dish and my kase spaetzle was great! At midnight the enthusiastic owner decapitated champagne bottles! Great fun!\n\nAs a sidenote, yelp miscategorizes this as German. It is Austrian.",
"Good German beer and food, and a relaxed crowd of people make the perfect atmosphere. I enjoy going here for an after-work beer.",
"I like this place A LOT!\n\nThey make their own beer, I've had their catfish IPA and sampled some of their other beers but the IPA is my favorite. \n\nHad their Kaese Spaetzl (Austrian mac and cheese) and it was sooooo creamy and rich, of course it goes great with beer!\n\nBaked pretzels are pretty standard along with some of their other appetizers (fried calamari, mozzarella sticks)\n\nThey have $3 beer specials that I think they switch up here and there. Last time I went they had Stella for $3! Not PBR!? *gasp*\n\nService is super friendly too. Please check it out!",
"Stopped by on a Saturday night around 9 to a decent crowd of people. I was pleasantly surprised by their food and beer selection. The menu is a mixture of 'typical' Austrian/German dishes and American bar foods. I had the schnitzel after hearing raving reviews and really liked it. It was huge, at least a foot across, and tasted fresh and yummy. \n\nNow, the incredible beer selection. I love European and German beer and they cover the various styles across the continent well with a focus on German beers. They even have ten or so beers on tap (out of about 30) that were brewed locally. We tried their super strong 22% Magnum beer that tasted sweet, almost like a Cognac. Their Hefeweizen and Honey Hefeweizen were also delicious. The tart cherry was too tarty for me but still interesting. I heard the owner likes to try out both old and new recipe's that he finds and I can't wait to try the others.\n\nOne suggestion would be to add some nighttime entertainment. Although, I enjoyed not having to yell to the person sitting next to me, like at every other bar, a jukebox or karaoke after 10pm would add some fun. There are tons of TV's so maybe having soccer games on would be fun also. \n\nThere are various happy hour specials and after 10pm specials like a liter of beer for only $8. I know I'll be back!",
"Sorry Lagerhaus, we were really excited to try your place only to be extremely disappointed. My fiance and I were on a 2 week vacation in the area and had never been here but decided to drop in because of the good reviews. We are huge beer and brewery fans and frequent them wherever we travel so we have a lot of experience in other breweries to base my review on.\n\nThough Lagerhaus is a brewery and apparently brews their own beer it's very hard to tell. The boast about 40 beers on tap but when they give you the beer menu it's confusing and no where on the menu does it say anything about which ones they actually brew. Most breweries only carry their beer, so this was a nice touch but I think it really takes away from them boasting their own beer. Though we liked the selection off beers on tap we came here to try their beers and weren't able to do that because we didn't know which ones they made. Usually we would ask but we didn't get a chance with our hurried and flustered bartender/waitress. \n\nService was below average. We sat at the bar and only heard our waitress/bartender very unprofessionally complain about other employees. \n\nThe food was simply not good to us. For what we paid it was even more of a put off. We don't eat at chain restaurants so we always have high expectations of places like this that have homemade, made to order food and it didn't meet our expectations. After our yummy appetizer of cheese bread, which I will say was good and homemade we were excited to get the homemade brat sampler and a ham, pineapple, avocado pizza (one of their creations). \n\nTheir homemade brats have apparently won awards but we did not like them. Now we get home made brats all the time from several local meat markets in our area and are always happy with the fresh taste but something in these brats was not good. It was almost a taste of dirt, even in the cheese brats we had. We each took one bite of each of the 4 they had to sample and threw the rest away they were that bad. They tasted nothing like brats and we couldn't choke them down. They just left a fowl taste in our mouths. I don't know if we got an old batch or something, but they were not award winning according to our palates. The pizza a Hawaiian style with a twist boasted avocado but when it came there were about 4 tiny chunks of avocado that had been cooked with the pizza and turned brown and were very non appetizing looking and also did not taste good because they had been cooked. Though the pizza might have been OK if the avocado wasn't on there, or if it was put on after the pizza was cooked, it still didn't impress for a home made pizza. You can see past reviews and see that I order pizza at the non chain places I go and this pizza was not up to par.\n\nThe only way I would recommend this place is if you lived around the corner and could walk here for a night out of drinking beer. I would avoid the food here and the hope for better service then what we received.",
"I stopped by here last Friday because I'm new to town and the sign on the street said Oktoberfest Turn Here!!! In big electric letters. I figured this would be a great way to get some great beers and meet some new people in this town. Unfortunately the place was nearly empty and the bartender informed me that the sign was put out a day early and that the festival (and therefor Oktoberfest Specials) didn't actually start until the next day.\n\nRegardless of the mishap I liked Lagerhaus. The menu was a bit all over the place but the Reuben was standard pub fare and juicy enough to go along with the great to Hofbrau's I had. Fries were no good, I was expected pub cut or hand cut but instead I think they were frozen. Not big deal though as most restaurants do that.\n\nMy only real complaint was the staff wasn't exactly friendly. They weren't mean, but they just sort of ignored everyone. Well, everyone except the friendly German speaking fellow next to me. He got all sorts of attention because he spoke German, but everyone else got short glances and refills without much speaking but nothing really beyond that. I could understand if the place were packed, but when it's slower I love a bartender (guy or girl) that takes the time to get to know the customers. Who knows... you might just make a regular out of them.",
"Update 2018: I want to like this place. I really, really do. I remember when it was Hoppers 20+ years ago and I loved it then. Not much has changed since my review in 2012. The servers are still slow and inattentive. The pint I received was severely short on the pour and was a terrible example of a brown ale. They assured me that I was served the correct beer. The food was about the same as it was before. I guess I don't appreciate the Austrian take on traditional German food. Oh well. \n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFranz's bier is OK. Luckily, there was some commercial beer available to drink. \n\nService was very slow. While an extra wait staff or two would have been helpful, they certainly had no sense of urgency. Slow is how they work.\n\nThe food is way overpriced for the quality. A basic hamburger rings in at $8.95. We ordered a grilled ham & cheese that was stripped down from the description to a basic grilled cheese with a couple slices of ham added. The menu described a 'herb-encrusted' bread topped with ham, 2 different cheeses, and fresh basil. We got plain white bread, mediocre cheese flavor, and no basil. \nThe Kaese Spaetzl was bland. We expect it was reheated in the microwave as all of the cheese seemed to settle into the bottom of the cup and the pasta was mushy. \n\nThe brat hoagie was alright. The sausage was dwarfed by the bun, luckily a nice compliment of sauteed red peppers and onion filled out the empty spaces. Still a bit pricey in my opinion. The french fries were very good, but you don't go to a place called Lagerhaus for french fries. \n\nVery underwhelming. \n\nThe final insult was the suggested tip added to the bottom of the bill. They did all of the calculations on the post-tax total.",
"Good beer, bad service. No stout. Barrel just came in. I've been going here for a few years and it has always been the same. The homemade sausages are great but the service has always been beyond terrible. It's not just one server or barkeeper, but all of them. I never could understand it. So I went next door to Mixers where there was a nice crowd and friendly staff and a Stout on draft.",
"This is the place to go for some great beer. Beer culture on another level. Franz is a genius when it comes to making a great beer. He is not afraid of recreating some really old recipes or brewing up something new and different, but he always keeps some tried and proven solid beers on tap. He does not shy away from letting you try and compare his own brews with some of the worlds most famous beer brands. If you want to have a very light standard American beer, fine, he has that too....but that would be a waste of your taste buds. If you need to take a break and want some more solid fare or if you want to start out with a solid base, his homemade brats, schnitzel or his daily special sandwich are great as well. I have been told, even his pizza is pretty darn good. There is only one way to find out ......check for yourself!"

"Fast, good service. Fries were perfect with just the right crispness. Try them with the Steak n Shake season salt. Yum!",
"Was here a couple of weeks ago, the service was awful. The only place with worse service is the Steak N Shake in Manchester.",
"Consistently poor service and food quality. I recommend the location near travois bluffs",
"Une horreur. D'ailleurs, quand on veut se dégoûter mutuellement, il suffit d'évoquer le nom de de cette chaîne et ce restaurant de St Louis.",
"Horrible service. No one was in there and it still took 25 min to make my order. On top of that they couldn't even get the order right. Tasted like crap too!",
"I had a pretty good experience here. This was my first SNS breakfast in maybe 20 years, so I had no idea what to expect. I never really cared much for it then, but I'd say it's vastly improved since then!\n\nFirst off though, let's talk service. Some changes must've been made recently.\n\nI'm not sure how much better Kelly could have been. She was friendly, had a pleasant-not-forced smile, got our drinks right away, took the order, refilled coffee as needed, and brought us hot food when it was ready. \n\nWe had each ordered a side of 4 pieces of bacon (we like bacon!) but they only had 4 total ready with our meals. She brought the meals straight-away along with 2 plates with 2 pieces each and apologized for not having it all at once. She promised more to come and about 2 minutes later we each had 2 more strips of still-sizzling bacon. She checked on us twice, got drink refills, and cleared the table when she brought the check. She seemed to have the same routine going with the other customers too.\n\nIn other words, exactly what she should have done. Hopefully their issues have been worked out on that front.\n\nSo I went ahead and got the \"gut-buster\" as I like to call it, or the giant \"skillet\" thingy as they...(I guess they don't call it that either.) Anyway, 2 eggs scrambled on top of a biscuit with sausage gravy and a sausage patty, on top of hash browns. Everything, all together. I got through about half and could eat no more! It was hot and all elements were perfectly cooked.\n\nBirdie had the blueberry pancakes, which we didn't realize actually had berries in the batter and on top, plus whip. It was waaay too much sweet, but again each part was fine, if taken separately. Plain pancakes would have been much better, so be sure to ask unless you like sugar shock! The berries were very good. Next time I may do the unlimited plain ones for $3.99 (which is probably still only 3 pancakes!)\n\nThe cooks, at least on our visit, seemed to be doing it right.\n\nThe glass booth partitions could have been cleaner, but otherwise it seemed fine.",
"Made to order means better not faster.... I find it funny they have this at their drive through...but very true!!\nI love their cheeseburgers with lettuce and tomato. I am also a fan of their fries. And gotta have a chocolate malt!!!\nThe only downside to this location for me personally is my brother is banned. For some reason he and his friend thought it was a good place to go when they were drunk. He spilled his water twice. But it was his vomiting all over the table when he went to order that got him banned...... Can't say I blame them...... I just can't go here with him....",
"Been to many Steak N Shakes and this was the worse one I've been to. Stopped in while driving through the area, and ordered two take out meals. First issue, I had to go back to the waitress taking the order to get my drink order 10 minutes later. After 10 minutes later without our food, we inquired when the meal would be out. After 5 minutes of searching, they determined our food was finished and had sitting by the grill for 15 minutes. At this point, I'd expect an offer of a fresh meal or vouchers. We got an \"oh my bad\" and a cold meal. Atypical service, from a fast food spot I typically enjoy.",
"Well, I stop to have lunch on a 30 minute timeline. I ordered at sit down counter, waited 10-15 minutes nothing... Asked about order, waitress had forgot to put in computer after taking order. This is at 2:30 pm while there are 4 other customer's in restaurant!?! Waitress doesn't tell me, instead just puts the order in... After 20 minutes my food arrives, well almost. I had ordered a cup of chili, oops I forgot to get your chili. My shake arrives before any of the food, UNBELIEVABLE WORST SERVICE EVER!!! WOW...",
"I can't believe this place can stay open, unless it is frequented by single time folks coming off the highway. Yelp's score had increased so I decided to try again. Horrible customer service in the drive thru, and in restaurant alike. What a shame for a great franchise. Skip it, people."

"I know just about every restaurant, fast food joint and greasy spoon has some kind of pest problem; mice, roaches, something. But a CLEAN establishment does what it can to get rid of them. And most of the time you don't see them in the dining area. \n\nI was doing some work here on my laptop one afternoon and saw roaches crawling on the wall IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. When I said something to the management, they didn't seem concerned. When I tweeted it out and hashtagged McDonald's so that they'd see it, someone from the company sent me a direct message asking me which McDonald's it was. Alright, so we're getting somewhere, right? Nope. He wanted to send me some coupons for free food at that McDonalds. \n\nDUDE, I JUST SAW ROACHES ON THE WALL, I AM NOT EATING THERE!\n\nI MAY BE FAT BUT I DON'T CARE IF IT'S FREE, THERE ARE ROACHES ON THE WALL!!!\n\nBe afraid. Be VERY afraid!!!!!! Ugh!",
"Absolutely terrible!\nI live a few blocks away and have been here easily a dozen times. More often than not they get the order wrong. Staff is among the worst I have ever encountered. I can appreciate that a job at McDonald's is crap, and that expectations should be set accordingly, but I'm talking conscious-decision-to-be-obnoxious kind of bad. I kept going back because they're close and they're 24 hours, but the last time I went I saw their restroom. I won't be back. Ever.\nGo next door to the gas station and get a day-old hot dog that's been on the spinning machine before you go here.\nWORST\nMCDONALDS\nEVER",
"One of the worst McDonalds I have been forced to use. Makes the entire Pendleton Pike area feel more ghetto than it actually is. A terrible embarrassment that should not be funded by local dollars. The staff is rude and forgets items more than seems humanly possible. I was once told to wait at one of the parking signs for my order, and when I walked in 10min later to ask where my food was they didn't even know who I was and never made my order in the first place. Oh, and to top it all off, they have the arrogance to charge extra for sauces while they are forgetting to wrap a napkin around a cone (if the machine is on). Do not go here.",
"This is the worst location I have ever been in. The drive thru is slow and my order is almost always wrong (likely because there are at least 2 associates in the weekday morning drive thru that don't speak much English, if any at all) even though I have always ordered directly off the menu without changes. I personally know a family who got food poisoning (clinically diagnosed in the hospital, legit salmonella poisoning) from this location last winter and I have not been back since. Don't risk your health or frustration.",
"Ate there today with my 3 kids under 5. The service was not only fast, but everyone was super polite and kind. The manager brought our food to our table. Another young lady helped with a small mess I had made. And one of the other staff was super helpful in assisting my girls while I was helping clean up the mess. Not only that, my food was hot when we got it and everything was as we ordered. I was super impressed and blessed by the wonderful service.",
"PLEASE, is there a way that I can give this McDonalds less than one star? Every negative thing you've read in all of the other reviews on this page, I've experienced: Slow service and 50% of the time, they get the order wrong. Pendleton Pike McDonalds, wake up! There's a reason that you're the LOWEST RATED MCDONALDS ON YELP IN THE METRO AREA!",
"Possibly the worst McDonalds in America. I'd say world, but there is 1 that's worse in Jamaica. Unfortunately it's on my way to work and drive past it all the time with my kids. I have been forced to stop in there many times because of children. \n\nThe staff are idiots. When I watch the news and think about all the discussion of them wanting $15/hr, I immediately think of that location and think of how horrible that would be. If employees at that location made $15/hr, then every other American should make $60/hr +. \n\nOne time I waited for about 15 minutes in the \"reserved\" parking area. As the 15 year old employee was brining me my food, they saw a friend driving by and decided to stop off and chat with them while holding my food. I got out of my car and headed that way. When I started to complain to her, her answer to me was that I should call the 800 number on my receipt and complain there. \n\nI feel that many Americans have lost their common sense, and when that happens, I feel that this McDonalds hires them. \n\nGood luck should you choose to go here. \n\nDon't say we didn't warn you.",
"For the longest time, this McDonalds earned the terrible reputation it has on Yelp. However, I wanted to post this review to mention that over the past five or six months, something has happened and the customer service has greatly improved. The new staff here, unlike the previous, do not act like its a chore to serve you. And it's been forever since they've gotten my order wrong.",
"Vastly improved service the past six months. No longer do attach members test you like a nuisance.",
"This McDonald's used to be the hallmark of bad customer service but they have improved this year and their rating should be reflected by those improvements."

"BEST FOOD EVER!! Absolutely amazing! Great Quality & quantity & great prices as well!!! You have to try it out",
"Stack it high and let it fly\n\nThese subs should come with a disclaimer, the small is not small, not even close. Actually you could probably get away with eating half of the small and saving the rest for later. The amount of meat that they put on these subs is absolutely absurd......oh yeah and they also taste really good. Def a place worth checking out, you're def getting your money's worth here.",
"Really a marvelous sub shop. When you hear the word specialty sub. This is the place. Junior is great and extremely friendly. Food is out of this world!!! The shrimp empanadas are great, and the Cubans are not like any Cuban you have ever had!!! Check this place out, a hidden treasure!!!",
"The cowboy sub (roast beef) is the best I have ever had. Meat is real roasted beef and is covered in cheese and their specialty sauce. Also got the Don Pablo (turkey and ham) which was stacked sky high with meat. Two thumbs up!",
"Rice is SO good here. Peppery, flavorful, fantastic. Get it for sure. Chicken superb. Pork almost as good as the best tampa spot...not quite but to save the drive this is a good alternative. Owner is a gem. Total winner here. The Plato de casa is HUGE...feeds two easily. Cheap for what you get. Excellent value.",
"They give you ALOT of food for cheap. Great Mexican food, I liked the pulled pork and yellow rice. One portion will last for days. Would definitely go back!",
"This place is just flat out awesome! I was in the mood for a good sandwich and Mazzaros was just closing up and this popped up on the Yelp radar. It's more of a sandwich shop than deli that has a distinct Latin flair (the owner is Puerto Rican) where you can get sides like fresh made plátanos and tostones. They also offer meats like pork or chicken with rice and beans and something called a salchi papi which is a pile of fries and hot dogs covered with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese and smothered in a special pink sauce. It's huge and looks delicious and I might try that on my next trip, but the star of this place is their sandwiches. They make a variety of hot and cold sandwiches either 12 or six inch, but it's what is in them that is so impressive! I opted for their version of the Cuban sandwich and it was insane! I got the 12 inch sandwich and it includes over a pound of meat, no exaggeration! Roasted shredded marinated pork that was delicious, a pile of sweet ham, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickels, onions and a special sauce all pressed on La plancha and crisped up to perfection. This thing was enormous! I'm a big boy, and can throw down, but this sandwich fed me for two meals! That and the fact the tostones came with four nice fresh (cut the plantain right in front of me) peices for $1.50 and this place will definitely be in my regular rotation. The owner is super nice and genuine and I'm a fan of supporting local businesses. Check them out, you will not be let down!",
"We ordered the El Pollo Loco and the Tony Montana (hot) and I'll have to say that these were THEE best subs we've had in a long while! We both ordered the small subs and the meat was PILED HIGH and the sauce... oh boy! EXCELLENT! \n\nLocally situated on Central Avenue, but the hubby and I opted to order via Food Now. We also ordered the Tres Leches cake, unfortunately my husband ate it all before I could take a decent picture! Everything was delicious and we will definitely return!",
"This place is my favorite little indulgence. I am puertorrican and I can't tell you how frustrating it is that there aren't many places serving our delicious food. Smiley's nails it! My favorite is on Friday's when they make Arroz con Gandules (rice with pigeon peas) SO GOOD. i get it with the pork. They are so fast too! Fast enough for my 30 minute lunch break...and my coworkers always ask what smells so good. You'll be hooked too! Try it!",
"Sabor.....Delicous..Food portions were Crazy! THANKS Bro for the best hospitality!!! Had the chicken with the rice and beans with totones. Next time I will try the pork sandwich...5 Stars..hidden gem in St.Pete!"

"Mikado is just below mediocre in my book. \n\nCame here for a friend's birth day, obviously not my choice but good for a big group.\n\nEntertainment wise it was ok, the chef did all the usual tricks, onion volcano etc etc etc... I'll spare you the rest of the details.\n\nI ordered the Mikado Special, lobster tail, filet mignon & chicken. All entrees come with shrimp, soup,salad, veggies, rice, and a dessert. \n\nLobster tail was completely overcooked, it tasted like rubbery squid. The filet was overcooked and swimming in god awful sauce. The chicken was edible. \n\nSauced drenched, overcooked beef/chicken/seafood, tossed in soy sauce, and passed off as Japanese food. \n\nAfter my experience, I was reminded why I never consider going to any teppanyaki restaurants. I guess it's ok if you're drunk and don't care that you're paying $35 for dismal food.",
"Overall a pretty decent experience. We had an older cook who was incredibly skilled & entertaining...and really knew how to engage the people at the table. (4.89 on entertainment)\n\nLiked the marinade on the chicken...not so much on the steak. \n(3.75 on food)\n\nThe primary exception to our experience was the waitress who was a bit mediocre. Not responsive (inattentive), slow, and miscalculated the check twice. I hope she is not the usual expectation for service. I would be hard pressed to remember slower service in the last year or two. (1.85 out of 5)\n\nMakes no sense why they have a 50/50 split between waitress & cook (as we were told) at a place like this unless the cooks make bank before tips (perhaps they do).\n\nProbably par for the course on most accounts, except for entertainment (the older guy really seemed to love his job & be genuinely good at it).\n\nOverall Score = 3.49999 out of 5",
"Grew up eating here. Your crazy if you don't like it!!\n\nMiss it all the time now that I don't live in nashville. A little dirty, but the food is excellent. Better than any Japanese steakhouse I have ever been to. \n\nGinger salad dressing is amazing.",
"I haven't been to a Japanese hibachi restaurant since I moved from Nashville over 11 years ago. Thus when I heard there was going to be a birthday party at Mikado I was kind of excited since it has been so long.\n\nWe were seated in a private dining room that had two grills in the middle and seats all the way around. We only had one chef though because our party didn't quite go all the way around the second grill. No problem though.\n\nThe way these places work is like this: choose your meat (steak, chicken, shrimp, combos of the above, or seafood mix) and get ready for food overload. Each meal comes with a soup, salad (with that awesome Asian sauce on it), fried rice, meat, two pieces of shrimp as appetizer, veggies (broccoli, carrots, onions, Japanese cabbage?), and a small dessert. All one price, somewhere around $25-35.\n\nSo then the chef comes out and does all his tricks. Flames! Funny jokes! \"Birthday candle\" made out of a stack of onions! Etc and so forth. The more you interact the more they perform I think. We were too busy talking so he kind of stopped trying to impress after a while. Then, when your meat selection is done, he puts it on your plate. \n\nHow was it? Soup - ok, nothing special. Salad - fresh and I love that dressing! Veggies were so good. Chicken - wasn't a big fan or maybe was too stuffed by then. Steak - he cooked it somewhat medium rare (more like medium) but it was my favorite and I ate all of it (explains why the chicken was not interesting me). Fried rice was great since it includes all that butter and also fried eggs. Yum!\n\nDrinks: everyone loves the Mikado special. I tried one - it is a mix of rum, amaretto, southern comfort, and other stuff. Tasted pretty orangey and very sweet but was deceptively potent. After that sweet drink I ordered a dirty martini and let's just say...stick with the specialty drinks. That dirty martini was as dirty as a 15 year old virgin choirgirl. I'm an adult - make it dirrrrrty. Like X-rated nassssty! Oh well, I still drank it.\n\nSo overall I had a fun experience and the food was good. I can see coming back when I get the craving for a hibachi experience.",
"Mikado's was great. I went with my 3 yr old son and my friend and her 5 yr old daughter. It was a little weird when we walked in. Trying to figure whether we needed to wait for a hostess or what?? When we walked in, the building is a bit dated, and had a weird smell in the entrance. But once we walked in the smell was gone. The soup and salad were good. It would be nice to get a dressing option on the salad. All of them came with 1000 Island Dressing (it seemed) and its not my fav. The chef was the best. Very entertaining and the food was delicious. I had so much Left over it could have fed 2 ppl the next day. And we did! Definitely will be back.",
"I chose to go to Mikado with my family last night because it was my birthday and was in the mood for a good hibachi restaurant. I have been to Mikado in the past and it was excellent. However, that was several years ago and it has apparently gone downhill since. First of all, the hibachi was dirty. I noticed it right off as soon as we sat down and figured the chef would clean it when he arrived. We received our soup and salad very quickly and they were very good. However, the waitress was not very attentive about refilling our drinks. When the chef arrived, he cleaned the hibachi but not as thoroughly as I hoped. There were still some dirty places on the grill. He was a decent chef but went through the motions with little personality. He did not go out of his way to put on a show like the better chefs I have experienced. I noticed some other chefs in the restaurants who were putting much more effort into pleasing their customers. The food was pretty good but not nearly as good as I have had there in the past. Maybe we just had a mediocre chef who was tired of doing his job. Dessert was served promptly and was a nice follow up to the meal we had eaten. It was a scoop of orange sherbet with a fortune cookie. Nice was to clean the palate. Finally, and this is a real pet peeve of mine, it took the waitress forever to bring the check. We had been sitting there for a long time and were ready to get up, stretch our legs, and go home. Something tells me that we would have had a much better experience, and meal, if we had a different chef and waitress. I will give Mikado another try in the future.",
"The best hibachi grill around! They have a comfortable waiting area with couches and chairs or you can wait for a table in the bar area. Great drinks and strong too! \n\nThe salad is great, comes with your meal, and we love the ginger dressing they put on it too. You get miso soup too with your meal. Considering what miso soup is made out of its actually good. It taste like chicken noodle soup without the chicken or the noodles. BEWARE you get A LOT of food with your meal choices. So now that you have had your salad and your soup your chef comes out and does his performance. They do the volcano with the fire coming out of the top, the comedy act, and the tail flinging thing. Kids totally love this part! You get a crap ton of fresh hot off the grill fried rice, shrimp as an appetizer, fresh grilled veggie and your meat choice. Chicken is amazing, steak is good, shrimp is good, and the lobster is great! \n\nThe price is a little expensive but you seriously walk away with a whole other meal because you wont be able to finish all of this food!",
"Nice little Japanese Steak House. We only had to wait a tiny 10 minutes to be seated (granted it was a Sunday evening), but the waiting area was nice, and we had the option to wait at the bar. Once we were seated at our table, the waitress was prompt to come get our drink orders and brought us hot soup and salad. The salad dressing is AMAZING...and even better, they sell it by the container if you love it so much that you want to take some home. Once the show....I mean meal, got started it was nonstop fun. Everything offered looked tasty, but I will say that the scallops I had were only average. Next time I go back I will stick with the shrimp and maybe add some steak. All in all, a wonderful hibachi experience!",
"I went here with some coworkers for dinner when we were working late. The first thing you can tell is that it's been here for quite a while. This is not to say that it looks shabby or is falling apart, it just has a very 80's feel to it. I actually kind of like that aspect.\n\nThe food itself is your standard hibachi fare; pick your protein, and it comes with veggies, rice, a couple shrimp, and sorbet for dessert. The food was by no means bad, but it wasn't anything spectacular either. Especially not for the price. I've honestly had better hibachi for less. \n\nIn fact, the price is why I most likely will not be returning to Mikado. The service was good, the \"show\" was entertaining, the food was fairly tasty, but it just costs more than it should. I guess they're able to charge this price because they're so well-established; I imagine they have a lot of long-time regular customers. I'm sure it also helps that there really isn't any direct competition in the area.\n\nIf I disregarded price, I'd give this place four stars.\n\nBut hey, at least at the end of my meal I received a fortune cookie within a fortune cookie. Can't say that's ever happened to me before.",
"Just finished dinner, was delicious. Had the steak and chicken. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was I asked for medium steak and it was well. The service was excellent an the show was good. I have seen some reviews here complaining about price but for the amount of food you get it is a very good price. I usually leave these grills hungry and I left here stuffed. \nI would return it was a nice change and satisfying."

"This spot may be my new hang...\n\nYou know when you walk into an establishment and instantly feel comfy? I rarely possess that feeling but when I walked into The Stone Fox, I knew that this was going to be the beginning of many nights to come. \n\nBesides boasting a small front patio, there is also a fairly spacious back patio that feels as if you are hanging out at a friend's house for small gathering. The vintage furniture and fence matches the house that hosts a full kitchen that prides itself in organic and sustainable practices (Marrakesh Express Salad is vegan!), stage for the fun live music, and a delightful bar that happens to also be stocked with Bang Candy Company's simple syrups too. \n\nDrinks are very reasonably priced with bottles of beer beginning at $2.50, house wine at $5.00, and Macallan 12 Year Scotch maxing out at $14 for a 2oz pour. \n\nThe official grand opening party is this Saturday at 10pm with a dance party and a low $5 cover. I'll likely pop by for some mischief. Will you?",
"Just checked this place out two nights in a row after kind of stalking it on the interwebs for the past couple of weeks. This definitely has the risk of becoming that hot 'new place' that people feel compelled to check out (as I did yesterday and the day before). And rightfully so. The minute you step foot onto the cozy front porch lit up with a garland of warm lights, you'll feel like you accidentally crossed the border into some hip, new place in East Nashville. (But then the flickering lights from a couple of cop cars perusing the neighborhood will remind you that you're really just north of Charlotte.)\n\nPROS: The menu is what I'd probably describe as eclectic pub grub, so points for originality. The burger is delish. I believe the chubby grass-fed beef patty is hand-patted with love and it comes on a nice soft, sugary bun with a slice of Kenny's Farmhouse cheese and the standard assortment of burger enhancements. And you can get that with a side of kale and qinoa which also deserves a shout-out. And don't forget to kick off the night with some hot chicken bites. The kimchee reuben is supposedly the most popular item on the menu--a novel idea and a pretty good, respectable attempt in gangnam-erican cuisine, but could use a tad more gangnam. Lastly, can't talk about this bar/restaurant joint mentioning something about the bar part: The beer selection is perfectly sized and varied AND beer on tap is served in mason jars (*extra points!*). \n\nCons: The Laughing Man and BBQ nachos could use a little more work in the flavor department...but what this place may lack in food, it makes up big time in atmosphere. \n\nThis is the place to go if you're looking to hang out somewhere that is way cooler than your house, but just as comfortable, if not more so. The decor is a mix of stuff dug out your grandma's attic and your friend's avant garde art installation. Plus, there is a taxidermy fox displayed in circular window above the front porch (*mega extra points!*). Need I say more?",
"Best burger in town! Laughing man vegitarian dish was also fantastic. Local craft beer on tap, not sure it gets better than this. Reminded me of burger up on 12th with the repurposed wood inside and great food. Did take out on my way home. Gotta say I was thoroughly impressed and will return with the mrs.",
"I love this bar! Try the Babs on a Budget. It's a great drink for a lady who likes her cocktails, but also likes to keep her cash. I love the design and the space here. The back patio is worth the visit alone. Really good and friendly service. So glad I found this little gem!",
"Love, love, love this new spot! I'm weary to speak too highly of it to my friends because I want it all to myself, but realize that would be awfully selfish. This neighborhood bar has everything I look for - cool vibe, great patio, and good bar offerings. They also have a full food menu, which I have yet to try, but look forward to many more nights at - dare I say - my new favorite spot in Nashville!",
"I think this place has a lot of potential and am excited to see a new spot open up on the west side. However, when I went, there were some kinks to work out. First of all, it would be nice if there were a sign that said seating was open so I didn't stand around for five minutes waiting for a hostess. Every time the server brought out our beer, she kept forgetting which beer was which. And forty-five minutes after we ordered, she came back and said they were out of burgers... Otherwise, I like the atmosphere and location so I hope the service can get the kinks worked out.",
"As a West Sider, I was excited to welcome this cool new spot into the neighborhood. Yesterday my husband & I tried it for brunch. We shared the basket of homemade chips, then he had the steak & biscuits & I had the apple cider mimosa & the corned beef hash with sweet potatoes. It was all delicious! Plus, our server, Jessica, was great! She kept the RC Cola flowing. Easy to find, easy to park, great decor & music - we'll definitely be back.",
"My wife and I are in the neighborhood and had not tried the Stone Fox. We are excited about the new places opening up in on the West side of Nashville around and off of Charlotte Pike. So, with some goodwill and a bit of hunger we tried out the place.\n\nThe serving staff had a few hiccups throughout the meal. The service is slow especially for the low density of patrons that was there on night on which we visited. There was a major check snafu that cost us fifteen minutes but we had good conversation in the meantime. All in all, the service was friendly if not a bit awkward.\n\nAs for the food, for what we had it was fair. The menu is very abbreviated with slightly upscale pub food. The upside is that it does not take you long to look through it with four entrees, one salad, and a soup. The appetizers were that we had were all a bit average. The chicken bites were well-breaded but expensive for the portion ($8 for an app that nicely feeds two would feel a bit better at $6 for the size and presentation...two small clusters of fried chicken bites on two pieces of white bread in a plastic basket). The soup was tasty as a nice counterpoint. \n\nThe atmosphere was comfortable. The lighting was low but still allowed one to see the menu and fellow table mates. I give a nod to the old chrome sets that dot the place along with the booths. However, I am a bit lost about the 'dance area' and the turntables up on the stage. The place did not strike me as a great venue for such activities and the amount of floor space that could be used to serve more customers seems like a lost opportunity. The Stone Fox's space more feels like newer Family Wash with trendier veneer, less menu options, and wee bit more of a nod to the nonplussed hipsters chic than the funky grunge throwback of Wash. \n\nAll in all, I am rooting for the place but I think it is at best a good spot for a drink and a conversation and not much else. For a good meal with that drink with a wait staff that might be better trained one might have to look to other spots.",
"Good food, great beer and a 3D dog!\n\nTucked away in a up and coming part of town the Stone Fox is a great place for a burger, band, beer or brunch.\n\nThe atmosphere is eclectic and fun. Found art and new art hang side by side and give you lots to look at as you sip draft Calfkiller beer ( keep an eye out for the 3D dog... I was drawn to it like a moth to flame...mesmerizing ). As if the inside wasn't enough there is a front porch to hang out southern style or you can wander out back to relax in the back porch area with tables and sitting areas.\n\nFood- great burger and fries to wash down with a good beer or mixed drink. But when the weekend rolls around the brunch is great! We had the french toast casserole and the steak biscuits with au jus. Both were very good! It was a lot of food we shared and there was enough to feed a third person.\n\nGo. See the 3D dog. Have a drink. Check out a local band. Enjoy!",
"I love everything about The Stone Fox. Music venue. Bar. Restaurant. Lounge area. Patio. It has it all! And I adore that it was an old home converted into a place of business. I'd also like to give props to whoever decorated this place, because it's funky but cool. \n\nOn Saturday night they hosted My So Called Band who played Weezer's Blue Album AND Pinkerton back to back! We rocked out to both killer albums for only $7.00. Great cocktails, great location, and I'll be back again! I can't wait to try the menu and enjoy some more delicious cocktails here!"

"Another Chipotle, what can one say? Mainly quality food and a nice addition to the 21st Ave South food scene. This restaurant is located at the previous site of Peter Chinn's Korean BBQ and before that a Cheeseburger Charley's.",
"NOTE: Will update this as Chipotle gets their act together.\n\nThis is the 3rd different Chipotle that I had a chance to visit within weeks of opening. Consistency: their meat is always salty when new locations open as if they are using a predetermined recipe that might need some tweaking.\n\nFurniture: good mix of the new Chipotle cushion seats and regular chairs & tables.\n\nStaffing: They seem to have lot of employees and lines were moving. We'll see how the next few weeks look. I'm sure it was intentionally overstaffed during lunch time to serve the unpredictable Vanderbilt crowds.\n\nSubway, Panera: You got competition now.",
"For some reason, every time I went to the old Chipotle, I left with the food being cold, and that bothered me. I decided to try this out, just because I had a burrito craving, and always enjoy a new experience, and I like this location better than the West End Ave. store.\n\nFirst, the traffic situation is much easier. You don't have to deal with trying to either get in, or find one of the so few parking spots. Second, since there are fewer surrounding businesses, most of the spots are going directly to Chipotle. Third, the way seemed a little faster (I probably hit it between the rushes), and finally, the burrito was warm, which makes such a difference.\n\nIf you have the choice, I'd go to this Chipotle, It just seems better overall.",
"I can't NOT be a fan of Chipotle. The line moves quickly and there are endless combinations of deliciousness. \n\nThis particular location seems SUPER echo-y. I feel like it's tough to have a normal conversation inside (but that's probably because I am stuffing my face). It's really loud. It's great they have outdoor seating options for this reason. There are about 5 tables. \n\nTIP: don't go at noon! SUPER LONG line. Go at like 11:45 or 1:30.",
"Call me a heretic but I'd rather go to Qdoba.....sorry!!!! Every time I go to Chipotle I get to the cash register and think, 'how the heck did I just spend $12 on lunch???' I ordered a salad and an Izze's soda. It tastes good, don't get me wrong but that price is crazytown to me! Maybe it's because I'm not used to paying a lot for Mexican food, but no, it'll be another month until I forget the incident, go back in and like deja vu, 'how the heck did I end up spending $12 on lunch?'\n\nThe theme is minimalism and the space is clean. They have a patio to boot! The place is usually packed during lunch but even so the staff is super efficient and I am in and out in a decent time. If you don't mind the price I say go for it! \n\nFYI, they don't have quesadillas.",
"I love Chipotle, and this is one of the best locations, I have been to 4. Really good, fresh food, and a decent price. I usually get the chicken burrito bowl. Service fluctuates, but overall, Chipotle is a great lunch option for a low price.",
"Bowls are good, nice atmosphere, friendly service and decent price. $7.56 for a bowl with a water.\n\nBrown rice, black beans, chicken, mild sauce and hot sauce, cheese and letttuce= tasty satisfying dinner.\n\nuse the chipotle app to preorder and skip the line. Asking for a mix of chicken and beef can yield more meat for the money.",
"The greatest find this year so far? A chicken bowl without sour cream, cheese or guac (how I usually like it) has FEW CALORIES than a Subway foot-long roast chicken sandwich (also without cheese or other trimmings)! And it tastes better! My abs thank Chipotle for keeping them visible.",
"I love this place! I always get a chicken burrito bowl there, they are generous with their food, and you can add vegetables for free (Qdoba charges extra for that). They are always very nice, and the food is always super fresh.",
"Apparently the name of the game at lunch on 21st is go early. I walked over to Chipotle at 11:30 a.m. before the rush and waltzed straight up to the counter. No sooner did I get the words out of my mouth to order my veggie burrito bowl (a tad of brown rice and a touch black beans) did I reach the cashier with a bag in my hand. Talk about an in-and-out burrito! Delicious."

"My favorite ice cream chain from childhood opens in Carrollwood! Stopped in tonight and the delicious ice cream tastes just like it does at the St. Pete Beach location I grew up going to 20 years ago. I do miss the old school sign lol. This is a huge improvement over the nasty Checkers restaurant this used to be. They bulldozed that place and even added nice new seating and polished concrete. Place is nice and clean.\n\nEdit a few months later: you would not believe how busy this place is. They had to set up cones in the parking lot to create a longer line for the drive thru. I applaud the owner for taking the gamble to open up where Checkers failed; apparently there was a huge market for ice cream in Carrollwood and they must be raking in the cash.",
"Brand new location off of Fletcher avenue in the plaza with Lowes, directly across the street from the plaza with the Fresh Market. Shaped like a huge ice cream cone so something is seriously wrong if you miss this place. \n\nAs an ice cream addict, I'm shocked to have never heard of Twistee Treat before I stumbled upon this new shop. Expect a heavy crowd during the evenings, especially now as they're still the new guys in town. Weekends are even more packed. Lots of high schoolers hanging around on Friday and Saturday nights. \n\nI asked about a \"signature\" offering, but there doesn't seem to be just one thing that stands out which is a good thing. I went with a medium sized peanut butter twirl. Crap, it was huge! Big enough for two to share. Get a small, seriously! Anyway, the ice cream is homemade which is awesome and has always been the way of Twistee Treat. There's not a \"commercial\" taste to it if that makes any sense. Very creamy and soft and the taste is pleasing to say the least, especially compared to other places. Peanut butter was blended in perfectly and wasn't overly rich. Tasted fresh. It certainly contributed to the smooth texture of the ice cream. There IS a difference in taste between their ice cream and that of other joints so give this place a try, if you haven't already. \n\nI ordered from the drive-thru and there was a young lady out there taking orders and kindly explaining some of the menu items to help expedite the process. It was a pretty busy night and it took maybe three minutes to get my order. Ate my ice cream in the car with my AC on as there were quite a few people outside (no indoor seating, by the way). Seating outside is limited and I can imagine it'd be a challenge to eat out during the summer months. Again, get a small (which really is large) because I couldn't finish my medium sized cup! That may be a first.",
"Just opened, great tasting REAL ice cream. You can taste the difference. Right next to Lowes, corner of N. Dale Mabry Hwy. Hot dogs too. A great little desert spot, easy in and out.",
"If you miss Ted Drewes than this is the next best thing in Tampa. Love the fact you can get what ever your heart desires in toppings but can also just a simple cone for under $2.00!",
"This is our \"local\" Twistee Treat and I eagerly watched the progress as the cone building went up and signs appeared about staffing. And then finally - grand opening!! I grew up going to Twistee Treat with my grandparents and I'm thrilled to see the recent invasion of ice cream cone buildings is the same parent company, back and better than ever. Back in the day, Twistee Treat used to offer the usual flavors but always had a few lower fat fruit flavors on offer such as mango or raspberry. In this new incarnation, Twistee Treat has topped itself and now offers Premium flavors that can be mixed in with any of the standard flavors on offer. From the pictures on the website, I thought maybe the flavors were sprinkled on the outside or swirled on, but no - they have awesome little machines that can mix small batches and then extrude them in the classic soft serve swirl. The seasonal flavors look cool, but I've mostly gone with chocolate or choc/vanilla swirl. However, I did step out of my comfort zone on one visit and asked for black raspberry added to their chocolate. It was amazing! Intense raspberry flavors mixed consistently throughout delicious chocolatey love. \n\nTwistee Treat offers some light food options as well and we stopped by for a snack and a cone one afternoon after the zoo. Offering Nathan's hotdogs, I was really impressed at the long list of free toppings available (the usual condiments, kraut, chili and cheese sauce). The hot dogs were good and are a great deal for the price if you like loading yours up. I am not usually a fan of being outside in Florida, but the outside seating area has been clean on each of our visits and the colorful tables, benches and chairs are all paired with umbrellas that provide excellent shade.",
"I love this revamped Twistee Treat!! New menu items even hot dogs have been added. Been here a few times and they don't disappoint. The ice cream is fresh and boy are the servings large. Their prices are great and I like the seating area. Had a chocolate chip cookie sandwich and it was amazing!! Gonna try the waffle taco next time.",
"SO MANY SOFT SERVE FLAVORS. The small was so cheap and HUGE. This twistee treat holds a very special place in my heart. I will always have fond memories of this ice cream wonderland.",
"What can anyone say about Twistee Treat? It is exactly what the name implies, but with more varriations. Personally and from observation over the years, I think the 1/2 &1/2 chocolate and vanilla cone is a best seller.\nTwistee Treat is all soft serve ice cream, made into bowls, sundaes...whatever you are in the mood for & still at reasonable prices..\nWhen the new one opened a few months back in Carrollwood, I was really suprise and delighted to see it. It is located off North Dale Mabry East on Fletcher Ave., less than a 1/4 mile on the South side of the road.\nWhat can I say, it defiantly is not the best ice cream in town. When you see their building fashioned as a swirl top cone, it just makes you happy, like hearing an ice cream truck. It takes you back to a younger, simpler time of life & gives you that kid smile. Sorry those feeling can't be bought, they are the very essence behind Twistee Treat and the reason I will lovingly continue to be a life long patron.\nYes, some ice cream fanatics may want all the bells & whistles. This ice cream fanatic, wants the emotions and to watch others happy faces coming and going along with the ice cream and the \"kid smile\".",
"Twistee Treat feels like one of those classic Florida roadside attractions that's been around since the 50's. You know the ones that I'm talking about, with the giant dinosaur / donut / alligator by the side of the road beckoning the weary travelers to pull off the dusty highway and enjoy the free air conditioning?\n\nTwistee Treat is easy to spot with their iconic 20' high and 20' wide fiberglass ice cream cone buildings with the giant swirl of soft serve on top. This particular one is located on Fletcher Avenue, just one block east of Dale Mabry Highway in Carrollwood. It's sits right at the entrance to Pei Wei fast-food Asian, Lowe's, and the Mission Bell Car Wash. The Twistee Treat Corporation was founded in Orlando in the mid-80s, but they adhere to the old fashioned values of serving up the best ice cream experience possible.\n\nThe menu is very straightforward. You can get the traditional Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, plus swirls, or go for the premium flavors like Caramel, Coconut, Cotton Candy, Peanut Butter, Mocha, Orange, Butter Pecan, White Chocolate, Pina Colada, Amaretto, Praline, Banana, German Chocolate, Black Cherry, Rum Raisin Cheesecake, Pistachio, or Black Raspberry. All of these flavors are 100% gluten free meaning that no glutens were harmed in the manufacture of this ice cream. You can also ask for any flavor in a light version, meaning no fat, and no sugar.\n\nYou can get this soft-serve ice cream swirled into a cup or one of many varieties of waffle cones and sugar cones, and of course you can always add on the toppings which they call twirls. If you prefer shakes, malts, and sundaes that's an option, as are brownie boats, banana splits, and waffle tacos. And if that's still not enough you can order Nathan's hot dogs and a soda.\n\nTwistee Treat offers convenient walk-up-to-the-cone window service with picnic table seating outside, or use their fast & friendly drive-up window service. It's a nice change of pace to sit outside and enjoy a nice soft-serve cone on a warm afternoon.",
"TL;DR - cheap ice cream that gets the job done\n\nI grew up eating at the old Twistee Treat in Town N' Country so I was happy to see this new one pop up in Carrollwood. Not much has changed from their menu over the years from what I remember except for the addition of Nathan's hotdogs. They still feature the same basic cones and sundaes that you'd find at any good ice cream shop. I got what I always get at every establishment that serves it: the Brownie Sundae. I was expecting a warm gooey brownie on the bottom of a pile of ice cream but what I actually got was a small cup with small bits of stale brownie sprinkled on top. Something was a little off with the ice cream itself. It could've been milkier or creamier but for about 4 dollars, I guess I can't complain too much because it still satisfied my sweet tooth. There's a lot better ice cream to be had in the area but not too many places will do it for this price and for that, I'll be back when it gets warmer. Its closer to a 3.5 stars but no higher than that for me."

"Caruso's Deli has gone prime time! This used to be a small operation inside the Washington Avenue Post - no more. The Washington Avenue Post has moved across the street, and Caruso's has taken over their former domicile and are now a full operation Deli.\n\nThey've been open about a week and half, and I finally had time to stop in today. The place is still pretty bare, not a lot of culture to it yet, but it has a lot of potential. The main reason for this potential? Dude can make a mean sandwich.\n\nVery friendly guys in there. There was no menu available (like I said.. kinda bare) so he recommended the \"Southwest Dip\" which was basically a French dip with pepperjack, some peppers, and au jus on cibatta. I gotta say though - it was pretty delicious. It came with a side so I got the Pesto Orzo, also very good. \n\nMy only complaint (because the bareness of the place didn't affect me, knowing that they're new and a work in progress) - the pickle. It was one of those neon-green/need-not-refrigerate/tastes-like-fish-chum pickles - NOT deli quality refrigerated kosher dills... gotta step up the pickle skills if you want to be a deli son! \n\nSo like I said, dude makes a mean sandwich, try it out. Tell him his pickles suck and join my crusade of Downtown Pickle Awareness and Improvement (or D-PAI for short). But definitely try it out. This place looks good for a lunch grab and go - as they have plenty of daily pre-made stuff available in their cooler case as well. If you've got time try the daily specials, the hot sandwiches, and I can personally recommend that Southwest Dip (really loved that thing..).\n\nAll the other eats on Wash Ave are either bar food, fine(r) dining (step it up Copia and Lucas.. seriously), or drunk street vendor food so I'm pretty excited about the addition of a full operation Deli around here. I hope they expand a bit, have good soups and chowder in the winter, and stay around for a long time.",
"As a Wash Ave dweller, I am more than happy that Caruso's Deli has opened. At first I was a bit skeptical, but the sandwiches are amazing and the menu is expansive. I've tried three different sandwiches and each time I've come away impressed. The people working there seem to go out of their way to give a warm greeting and seem genuinely appreciative of your business. \n\nI would give Caruso's 5 stars, but there are very minor things that could be improved. If you're in a rush, the sandwich making can take a bit of time. The atmosphere inside isn't really cozy - would be better if it was a little more of a coffee shop atmosphere. It doesn't seem like the order, wait for your sandwich, do they call your name or just find you, etc. process is completely ironed out. \n\nAgain, these are small things that don't leave a bad impression - just the small things that would push this to a 5 star.\n\nQuick recommendations: The pastrami was amazing, as was the Southwest Dip. The pasta salad as a side is good, not great. \n\nOverall, please visit Caruso's to keep them going - as it is a nice bonus to have a sandwich shop of this quality on the street.",
"I'm a fan because I had the best breakfast wrap ever and my husband had the best biscuits and gravy. The whole place is a pleasant surprise. Great food, intersting atmosphere, surprises like the vintage soda machine and very friendly owner. St. Louis deserves to have an establishment that is 'one of a kind'.",
"Place was awesome. Had the Turkey Bacon Avocado Club which had right amount of bacon and avocado which is not always the case. Owner Jerry was very friendly and even gave me a taste of the breakfast quiche which was very tasty and home made. I will definitely be going back.",
"Caruso's rocks my socks. The menu is MASSIVE, the food is delicious, the staff is beyond nice, and most importantly everything is FRESH FRESH FRESH!!!! One time when I went in the guy making my wrap had to scoop my potato salad out of the mixing bowl, he literally had just finished making it. The portions are HUGE and you can get any salad or sandwich made into a wrap. I've had the Veggie and the Italian and a couple different salads and no complaints whatsoever.\n\nThis is exactly what Wash Ave needed... a neighborhood deli where you can run in and grab something fresh for lunch. They have breakfast too, but I didn't realize that until today so I haven't tried it yet ($5.99 all you can eat waffles?! YES!!) And did I mention that these are the nicest people ever? Seriously. Also seems like one of the more kid-friendly places to grab a quick bite if you're of the tourist persuasion (as opposed to the various bar/restaurants along this strip of WashAve).",
"Good old-fashioned, friendly family service and quality fresh foods...Thank you Caruso Family for being so wonderful!!\n\nCaruso's has the BEST potato salad ever!\n-They custom make veggie wraps \n-They treat you like family and appreciate your patronage \n\nA++++++++",
"Great sandwiches...friendly, massive menu. We had pastrami on pretzel bread, and a special of the week, salmon salad sandwich with smoked Gouda. Try it. You'll like it. (We are California folk who found this place through yelp.). BTW, the surrounding area looks very fun. More places to try!",
"Lots of potential. Shape up the interior a bit, unless you're going for the unfinished look, and you have a fan because the sandwiches are worthy and the beers on tap at a deli are a big plus!",
"Take it from a gyro snob: Their Gyros are AMAZING! I loved the guys that worked there and can't sing their praises enough. The sauce was on point , bread was amazing and meat was beyond delicious! Eat here!!! SOOOO GOOOOD!!!",
"Huge menu and a great restaurant/deli/market/bar/take-out. This place has everything that you need. Feels like you are ordering a sandwich from your mother, as they really do treat you like family."

"A very pleasant surprise. The place overall was very attractive, except for the tacky pergo flooring. We did the selective menu options and each was simply well prepared and delicious. Breads were interesting, but for the stale focaccia, and why any restaurant would serve stale or bad bread is beyond me.\nService was excellent, but their sure is plenty of teens running around - take the 4 girls greeting us in sync \"how are you this evening\". No tattoos or rings placed in perverted places though, and this certainly is a plus to a dining experience.\nWines by the glass was interesting in that they bring it out in a carafe, but pour it in a table \"water or martini\" style glass. I ordered a $10 pinot noir and it tasted awful. I of course was unsure if the wine was that bad or how much the glassware played a part. I asked the waitress if they have real wine glasses and she seemed to understand and came back with quality stemware. Anyone who ever doubted that the stemware plays a part in the taste of a wine, should give this place a try just for this experience. The $10 wine was still not great, but surely decent with the food.",
"This is a beautiful month old restaurant in Blue Bell. The main focus of the restaurant is their wood burning oven. The restaurant felt very trendy. \n\nWe arrived on Fri. night with no reservations and the place was packed. We were also in jeans and t-shirts and everyone else was decked out. We chose to sit at one of 3 bar tables since we were hungry. Big mistake. The service was horrible. We watched the waitress at the next table come over 7 times (seriously, i counted), before we even saw ours. Throughout the entire night, we only saw her 3 times. She never asked us about our food or even gave us the bill. Oh, and she also gave us the wrong drink orders. But, to the food... \n\nThe food was good. They are basically an Italian tapa restaurant. We ordered their arugula salad which came with 2 Parmesan shavings and not enough seasoning. Their scallop dish with corn and pesto risotto was very seasonal and good. Their eggplant parm dish was the best. It was hot, delicious, and very rustic. The prosciutto pizza we ordered was good, but again needed like an extra drizzle of olive oil or some seasoning on it. \n\nThe one thing that saved the night was John, who I can only assume is a manager. After our waitress was still MIA, I flagged him down to get our check. He spent a good 10 minutes talking to us about the beer menu, discussing the future restaurant plans, and apologizing for our sever. \n\nWe'll definitely give Radice one more try because it does have potential to be a really good restaurant.",
"We had a great dinner at Radice on Saturday evening. Sampled many small plates and a couple of entrees at a table of four. Frittura was excellent, as light as fried food can be. Calamaretti was also great. The calamari was very lightly grilled and the radicchio was cooked perfectly. We all liked the peperonata as well. The pizzette Boscaiola was my favorite dish of all. Really delicious thin crust pizza. The bucatini was delicious as was the grilled branzino. Oddly, my least favorite dish was the namesake Radice salad of roasted beets. I thought it was overdressed, but others at our table enjoyed it. Service was warm and gracious, but they are still working the kinks out. For example, we waited too long for our drinks and bread. Overall, we were very pleased and will certainly return. Thanks to Toto and staff for an enjoyable evening.",
"Well, let me start off by saying I am in disagreement with the other reviewers experience. Maybe they went too early, which is really a terrible excuse because a restaurant should be as perfect on day one as they are on day 101. This food is dynamite. I was in Tuscany last summer and felt Radice's food was as fresh and delicious and prepared exactly like it was like some of my favorite Tuscany places...Don Beta, Ristorante Verdi, etc.. But now back to Radice. The pizza is fabulous. The appetizers are excellent, and I love the decor. Fresh, clean lines. Super service. I do agree that the young girls may need to step up the service a bit, but they are young and seemingly inexperienced. A little more training would be appropriate but they are never rude. The wine selection is fabulous and if something doesn't taste right after opening up a bottle of wine one selects, by all means, send it back. I've had several bottles of wine over the years that were returned because they do go bad. Don't drink wine that doesn't taste right. It's also not the fault of the restaurant owner, but it is his/her responsibility to replace it immediately. Toto isn't pushy by the way, he's concerned for every diner in there and wants the experience to be wonderful. M.",
"I was thrilled with this meal on a Monday night. It was a full restaurant, which is surprising on a Monday. \nFirst, the restaurant is a pristine white decoration, kind of like a heavenly feel to it. It is clean and bright. The wood stove in the center is fired up and you can see cooking occuring from one of the chef's throughout the evening. \nThe best description for the food is an Italian tapas restaurant. Small plates can be ordered or a larger sized meal. We opted for 6 plates to share and a dessert. I chose three courses and my wife did. I knew I was in for a treat when my wifes first selection of an artichoke dish was awesome. Intense flavors and rustic cooking. I'm no vegetable lover, and I cannot say enough good things about this course. My wife was surprised I loved it so much. It was paired with a scallop cake, and it was good too, especially the lemon sauce. It was followed by the egg plant parmigan and the first course I selected, a meatball course. Both were superb, but the egg plant took the prize in this course, yes another vegetarian course. I loved it and I am no fan of egg plant. The egg plant did not overpower the delicious cheese and tomato flavors. The meatballs were delictable too, the red sauce was heavenly. \nOur last two plates, gnocchi and spare ribs. The gnocchi was good an sufficiently cheesey with goronzola, but it did not dominate. The ribs with slaw was my least favorite of the night. I felt they were overly dry and a hint of smoked flavor to it. The slaw was the best thing on the plate. \nNeither the gnocchi or ribs were overly memorable. \nNow, the ambiance is interesting. The staff are very friendly, our waitress needed to give us a little more attention. They did not rush you and explained all the courses prior to ordering. I would like to see more attention to changing plates between meals and making sure the customer knows what is on the table. We figured it out, but it would be nice to receive a statement as to what was presented. The wait staff are all young and the dress is very casual T-shirt and pants.\nOne of the fun things about this place is the owner. He strolls around the place and greets customers at each table. He is clearly Italian and has an accent. A bald head and dark suit you swear he could be in a scene in a movie. But, he is very congenial. I first thought he may be a sommolier, because he was pouring champagne at a table and talking about it. He saw I was glancing his direction and said hello and made a joke about the table he was giving drinks too. He must have known them. \nWhen he came to our table he commented on the course we had, and how good artichokes are for you. Then in a clear Italian fashion asked if we wanted more bread. We said no, but he stated, \"You have to have more bread, I will get it for you.\" A very motherly type of thing to do. He was very pleasant and made the experience all the more enjoyable. And his name is, Toto. \nIt appears they have many repeat customers at least they did the night we attended. Many people were greeted warmly.\nNow on to the finale, a scrumptous chocolate bread pudding with freshly made gelato. It was excellent and just the right size as we were already stuffed. There is an excellent dessert menu and several choices of fresh gelato or a cannoli that is supposed to be wonderful. \n\nAnd the best part of the evening, unlike overly pretentious center city fine dinning the prices are very reasonable. For a 7 course meal and wine we had a bill less than $100. \nI want to go back and already told my wife that.",
"I dined at Radice on Saturday night. When we arrived at 5pm it was very quiet but by the time we left (just after 7pm) it was totally full with people waiting. The restaurant is very clean and white with a small bar and the wood fired oven as the centerpiece to the open kitchen. Most dishes are baked and come out of that oven. The food is as good as I have had since being in Italy several years ago. This mostly vegetarian table started with several appetizers to share - the eggplant is as thin and wonderful as it gets (not fatty and fried like most). Even my picky toddler ate it up and we actually ordered an extra to go since she loved it so. The artichoke and potato dish was rustic, well seasoned and the perfect combination of hearty and delicious. The polenta with ricotta was so creamy I didn't even know I was eating polenta. My daughter had the celery root and The bread which was plentiful was hearty and crusty and served with fresh herbs and olive oil. For my entree I had rigatoni with zucchini and ricotta. It was a delicously baked cheesy dish with noodles cooked al dente. The gnocchi were so delicate we referred to them as pasta pillows in a very light marinara sauce. Yum! My mom had the skate special which was three delicately prepared pieces of skate alongside grilled sweet potato and asparagus. She enjoyed hers as well. We hadn't quite saved room for dessert but we knew we had to indulge. We shared the lemoncello cannoli which I promise you puts any other cannoli to shame. It is one of the best sweets I have ever had. That, along with the pear tart with custard ad a cookie crust that was to die for. This place gets it all right. Service was attentive and friendly, the food was phenomenal, the prices reasonable and it left me wanting to come back every week! For someone who eats out alot and thinks she knows her food, this is a place NOT TO BE MISSED",
"Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, especially for a restaurant I was looking forward to trying after Laban's 3 bell review. Unfortunately, the dinner we had at Radice on a Fri night was a big disappointment.\n\nThe service was friendly, but could be better informed on the wines. The 10-12 small plates we ordered were seriously lacking any seasoning. I was expecting the rustic Italian cuisine to be flavorful but somehow even the vegetables seemed to have lost their flavor. \n\nThe sweetbreads were tender but a bit dry and not crispy and again lacked seasoning.\n\nThe Rustica pizza had good toppings but the crust was too soft and chewy for a brick oven pizza. \n\nDesserts were not bad and service was prompt and friendly.",
"Food was OK - Italian tapas. Enjoyable spot.\nInteresting wine list. I wish there was an option to order the pasta in a larger main course size.\nDessert was excellent.\nWould we drive out to Blue Bell to eat there again -- maybe.\nNoise level was fine.\nDecor was fine.\nServer forgot one of the dishes until after the table was cleared prior to dessert - he apologized and quickly got the dish.",
"The food was outstanding and the atmosphere was great. This restaurant is a gem in Blue Bell. The waitstaff was great and the restaurant was in pristine condition. I can't say enough about the food, it is fantastic and if you have any room left for desert, get the Cannoli, it is heavenly! Will be back again soon.",
"6 of us dined at Radice last night and it was a disaster. My cod entree was served cold (even though I was served first) and was full of bones. 3 entrees came 20 minutes after the first 3 entrees. We were unable to eat together at the same time. Server never looked at the table, refilled drinks, etc.. It was a 6:00 reservation and you were not very crowded. I did not complain at the time, because I did not want to make the others at the table uncomfomfotable. One person spilled some water and it took 10 minutes to get help, which consisted of another napkin without wiping the table or the floor. It was a waste of time and money."

"Since this is takeout-only, hiding down the alley between Acme and Olive Garden, you'd probably never notice this place, let alone think the food would be any good. Well, take the chance, because the unassuming Szechuan Express serves up my favorite Chinese food in the Main Line area. \n\nThey have the typical huge menu (no ho fun though, which would be a welcome addition) and I don't think I've been too disappointed with anything. I have driven up from Delaware just for their beef with Peking sauce - that's love. I'm also a fan of the [your choice of protein] with Szechuan sauce. The yu-shiang sauce is scorching hot. Yummy egg rolls too.\n\nI hope someday these guys can expand into a sit-down space, because the food is definitely good enough to support it. If you're in the area, give them a try sometime! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.",
"Bare bones take-out chinese. Awesome beef and broccoli and the spring rolls are tasty too. Would be great if they added chow fun - the flat rice noodles - but still has a great - broad menu selection. Definitely a fan of Szechuan Express over Shangri La for take-out.",
"This is soooo sad, but they KNOW me in here on a first name basis!! I've been coming in here for YEARS and THEY tell ME what I'm there to order!! LOL \n\nThis is my chinese restaurant of choice in the city. I have loved everything I ever got here, especially their scallops and broccoli.",
"Typical Chinese take-out joint. Serves good, cheap Americanized Chinese standards, and like any Chinese take out worth it's chop-sticks, it serves it in heaping portions. The place itself is very easy to miss, stuck between the Acme and Olive Garden on City Avenue in Bala Cynwyd. \n\nThere really isn't a whole lot to say, it's a good place to get cheap Chinese take-out if you're in the area. I get lunch there maybe once every two weeks. If you're looking for some food of higher quality (and also higher cost) you can head over to Shangri-La on Montgomery Ave. But, while they do take-out, it's also more of a Chinese-Japanese fusion place that has a teppanyaki grill and sushi bar as well. But, if you're on City Ave, and just want cheap, decent Chinese take out, then this is the place to go. A solid choice for lunch or a night when no one feels like cooking dinner.",
"Great food. They are not open on Sunday which has always struck me as odd but I guess when you have offer a solid product you can afford to not be open on the weekend. The thing that I like the most about this place is that the texture of the chicken and beef are genuine-- no guessing what mystery meet it could be. I prefer the brown sauce which is always flavorful. I also like the wonton soup and the wings are good too. They tend to be on the pricey side as compared to other Chinese food places but you get what you pay for. NB. Accepts major credit cards but does not deliver.",
"Knock me over with a feather. I have been walking right past this place for 8+ years on my way to Acme, never imagining that its food would be remotely edible. In a strip mall, but without even an entrance in the front of the strip mall. Tucked away like an embarrassing tenant in the back behind Acme. The location, the exterior, the signs all shouted \"greasy cardboard MSG-laden Chinese takeout.\" Only when a Chinese-American acquaintance recommended it did we finally try it (skeptically). Wow! Incredibly reasonable prices, very generous portions, fresh ingredients, and surprisingly full flavors. I'm a big fan of the Szechuan-style chicken (nice and spicy, and they'll spice it to your specifications). We live just a couple of blocks from Shangri-La, but from now on, forget it! We'll shave a couple of bucks off the price of each dish and get equal or better quality at S.E.",
"What a great spot for carryout Szechuan...... The dishes are always hot and delicious and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and very support of\nthe Community in which they serve.\n\nCall ahead with your order because walk-ins at times are plentiful and this\nwill have you spending more time enjoying your food and not waiting in line\nto order it!\n\nMuch SUCCESS Szechuan Express thank you for all your great dishes!",
"This place has never disappointed me. My favorite dish is the shrimp and broccoli. It can come with brown rice and it has a white sauce instead of the traditional brown thick sauce. I prefer the white sauce. It is soooo good!!! The shrimp are jumbo and fresh. This is my go to place for Chinese food.",
"Just a little hole in the wall but some of the best Chinese I've ever had. Prices a slightly higher than most places, but boy is it worth the extra dough! Amazing Beef and Broccoli, Beef Skewers, Egg Rolls, Fried Rice, Shrimp and Mixed Veg! Can't wait to go back again... only issue, they are not open on Sunday!",
"This place is awesome. I'm a vegetarian, and while their menu doesn't seem to have a huge vegetarian selection, they're actually very accommodating. If you ask them, they'll make pretty much anything you want with tofu instead of with meat (General Tso's Tofu, for example). I absolutely love their Homestyle Tofu (ask them to make it a little spicy and it's perfect!), Mooshu Vegetable, and their sauteed string beans, which they saute with lots of garlic and deliciousness! \n\nOnly thing I wish they had was vegetarian dumplings/spring rolls...maybe one day!"

"Our family favorite! \n\nWe have to eat here at least once a month. It's the type of place where everyone has a favorite menu item - and they're all different. The owners are a lovely family from Sicily via New Jersey - totally authentic. \n\nThe menu is extensive - salads, pasta with probably a dozen different sauces, fresh bread, and the best thin-crust pizza I can find in Tampa. One of our favorites is vodka sauce over penne. Trust me, just try it. It's one of their specialties for good reason.\n\nThe interior is a typical New York-style pizzeria. Brightly lit, clean, metal tables and chairs, paper plates and napkins - you're there for the fabulous food, not ambiance. Again - very family friendly and affordable. Dine in or take out. No delivery.",
"Very good pizza in New Tampa area. We had take out a few times the few months we lived out in suburbia, and it was consistently excellent. The highlight of the menu for me was an appetizer of prosciutto and mozzarella or provolone rolled up and cooked and then I believe it had balsamic drizzled over it. It's been a long time since I was there, so I checked out their menu online and I believe it's called the \"Rollo Mania.\" Definitely worth a try. \n\nThe location is fine for those living out in New Tampa, as it's conveniently in a strip mall. Also, they have quite a few seats in house but always appeared to fill up quickly with area families on Friday and Saturday.",
"Having lived in Chicago for 6 years, I have pretty good idea how to describe awesome pizza. And in doing so, I'd use neither the term \"New\" nor \"York.\"\n\nThat being said, the pizza here is outstanding and always has been. We've been coming here for years, not only for the pizza, but because it is owned by a very nice family. The younger generation of owners has kids that are almost exactly the same age as mine and for that reason, I've always felt more of a bond with them.\n\nNow that they've moved into the larger location a few doors down, you might think that it would be easier to get a table, but we had to wait when we when on Saturday.\n\nThe menu has lots of sandwiches and pasta, but we always get pizza, so I can't comment on those. The Italian Pizza (white pizza) is good and garlicy. The Pizza Mania is great with tangy sausage and onions.\n\nNote, they do not have a liquor license, so it is BYOB.",
"Let me start by saying I will eat any pizza cause all pizza is good pizza! However, I am also very critical of the pie and extremely hesitant to title it \"Great\" unless well deserved. That being said, this is another case of good pizza. \n\nThis joint looks like any other pizzeria. Pictures of Italy and anything with red, green and white on the walls. Smells like every other pizza place too, mmmmm.\n\nWe started with the \"rollo mania\" appetizer which was cheese rolled up inside a cured ham. It was good but extremely salty and after smelling some garlic knots walk by I quickly regretted my rollo decision and was wishing for that buttery garlic-ness. For the actual pizza we got a medium \"pizza mania\" which had a good medium thick crust, pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. It had good flavor, plenty of cheese and was a good size pie. All in all a good pizza, not the best, but a place that could become your lazy night Friday order.",
"Pizza Mania may look like nothing from the outside and doesn't go crazy jazzing up the inside either. But after one taste of a slice of cheese pizza or their Vodka ala Penne pasta and you will see why there is a wait at this little pizza join almost every weekend. The family is great, the service is what one should expect at a pizza parlor and the prices are very reasonable.",
"With the both of us being from NYC and Philadelphia , we're sort of pizza snobs. I have searched far and wide in the new tampa/wesley chapel area for good pizza, something similar to what we would eat up north. Pizza Mania has been the closest thing to NY Style Pizza. They may be a little smaller than your typical NY pizza but the taste is comparable. They also make a great margarita pizza. \n\nI believe the Pizza Mania family is from New Jersey. Right smack between New York and Philadelphia. Can't go wrong with those roots...",
"I've been coming here since it opened and have never been disappointed. I love New York style pizza as much as the next person but can often find it too similar from place to place. Pizza Mania's pizza and garlic knots are extremely flavorful and the customer service is always superb.",
"Margherita Pizza with extra fresh mozzarella...mmmmmm\nIt doesn't get better than that. I like this place because they're food is authentic!!",
"Excellent pizza....especially the Sicilian. Yummy garlic bread and knots. Worth the wait on weekends.",
"Ate here based on the reviews. They didn't go wrong. Great Sicillian pizza - my favorite. Next time I would ask for more cheese though. The pizza sauce is fresh - with pieces of whole tomatoes in it. The garlic knots are super fresh and yummy - and I don't like garlic. But I liked these."

"Way back in the day, I worked about a mile from Villa's, and would stop in at least once a week for some fantastic sonoran enchiladas. They had the best I have ever tasted, crispy and soft all at the same time. \n\nI long for some enchiladas from Villa's If it wasn't so far a drive....",
"This is just around the corner from my casa, so I gave it a try when I moved here. I was very very unimpressed.\nI love Mexican food, and am in heaven in Tucson with all the dozens of excellent restaurants. Its a bummer the Mexican food joint that is a two minute walk has the be so blehhh. The food wasn't anything special and the service was shoddy. The server literally had her baby on her hip as she took our order. \nAt least the Pacifico with our meal was good though : )\nI do hear the homemade tortillas are yummy. We were going to get some at our visit, but they had sold out already. That may have been its saving grace.",
"Chile rellenos in the Tucson Area rated according to the Homeland Security Advisory System with three word descriptors.\n\nVilla Mexican Food: cold cheese center. Blue\n\nSee photos.",
"Small hole in the wall with darn good Mexican food. Their burritos are HUGE and their enchilada sauce is absolutely some of the best I've had! I hadn't been in a long time...years actually, so I ordered what I was used to. YUMMY! Great spice and great texture in the sauce. The only disappointment was the carne asada was a little tough. Just a fluke I'm guessing so it's not worth giving it any less of a rating.",
"I am a fan! I have been going to Villa for years and generally go at least 2 to 3 times a month. It is a small family run place. Don't expect anything fancy, but do expect some good Family style Mexican food. \n\nNo prefab stale hard taco shells, they make their shredded beef taco's the old fashion way.",
"I have had two different plates here and was impressed both times. Very authentic and good both times!! Atmosphere is dark and non appealing but I go to eat not enjoy the scenery. I definately recommend this place!!",
"Seems like mom and pop shop. Seating and service slow at first. No bar to speak of. (A Mexican restuarant only serving cuervo?!). But when food got there it was hot fresh and seemed like made from scratch. It was a surprising finish to a shaky start.",
"This little hole in the wall place is in a strip plaza near Ina & Shannon. I've been coming here for years and always order the same thing - #5 shredded beef tacos. They are greasy and good! \n\nThey sell homemade tortillas that are the best I've ever had and they sell out quickly!",
"Food was great. But the service was very poor. Knife had some old beans or something on it. \"Hole-in-the-wall\" is right. But a dirty restaurant with inattentive, unpleasant servers does not equal \"local charm\". Try La Parilla Suiza west on Oldfather or Macayo's east on Oracle.",
"Dining trio husband Gary and I (minus mom, the third of the trio) visited Villa tonight, for a wonderful casual, tasty dinner. Luckily, we didn't have to wait. We tried to eat here the other night, and there was a small line.\n\nWe wolfed down some chips and excellent salsa, to stave our roaring appetites (it was a long work day for us).\n\nThe service was pretty prompt and friendly.\n\nWe love to get their Combination plate #8, the chicken enchiladas. I like the flavor of their enchilada sauce. And the enchiladas are hearty: full of tasty, shredded, white meat chicken. Villa completes the platter with shredded lettuce, a hefty amount of refried beans with cheese, and yummy, melt in your mouth Spanish rice. Our dishes tonight did not disappoint; I also had a little leftover for tomorrow's snack. We left, happy campers (well, diners!). We'll be baaaack."

"The guys from the pizza truck Pitruco are taking over the kitchen at Smokey Joe's bar near Penn starting tonight. I was lucky enough to be invited to the soft opening last night, and the food is awesome!! The roasted cauliflower hoagie was probably my favorite dish of the night, but it was all so good. The food is italian american with some twists. It's all homemade, down to the bread for the hoagies, the pickles, and the mayonnaise. The food is super affordable and the drinks, which are provided by Smoke's, are dirt cheap.",
"I can't believe this place doesn't have more reviews! When I heard about the collaboration of Enjay's & Smokey Joe's I couldn't wait to try it out!!! \n\nWe got the fries, a meatball sub & a small plain cheese pizza to share. Everything hit the spot. The fries had parmesan & peppers mixed with them & we didn't realize the sub ALSO came with fries... We almost wished the plain fries that came with the sub were made up like the parm & pepper fries because they were THAT good! Having had Pitruco pizza before I knew the pizza would be heavenly & it definitely met my expectations! \n\nI have never been to Smokey Joe's, even after having been at Penn for three years... I really liked the atmosphere... It wasn't crowded (around 8 on a Saturday night), but I'm sure that will change when the amazingness of the Enjay's collaboration is discovered. \n\nThe price is definitely right. If you're looking for well-made bar food (really it's better than bar food) & some lagers, this is the place to be. We will absolutely be back!",
"Outstanding mushroom pizza and chopped salad. And a donut with just the right sweetness. Wish I lived here so I could come here frequently! But next time I'm in Philly....",
"Enjay's is currently a hidden gem located within Smokey Joe's, but in my opinion, they are the main attraction. The fries are an absolute must, and the mushroom and onion pizza is to die for. I can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu, like the fried cauliflower. Enjay's does not serve your typical run of the mill deep fried bar food. Check it out. I promise you will not be disappointed!",
"When I started grad school at Penn 4 years ago, I never thought I would be cursing the days and hours that I couldn't get food at Smokey Joes. Now I curse Monday nights and long afternoons because it seems like that's always when the thought of Enjay's pizza creeps into my head. \n\nThese guys know bread, which is absolutely the first prerequisite for amazing pizza. I haven't had better in Philly. The tomato sauce is bright and fresh, and the toppings are all well though-out. Also, it's totally student-budget-friendly. I really hope they are there to stay.",
"Just arrived in Philly from Rochester NY and needed a place to eat. This place (found through yelp) was a two blocks away. Had great reviews and I concur. My 17 yr old ordered a pizza with meatballs. Tender meat balls with a sausage meat blend. My 15 yr old wanted just cheese and my wife and I ordered the mushroom and onion with pepperoni. Béchamel, mushrooms (fine cut creminis & maitakes) and caramelized onions. Delicious! It just worked. The pizza is fairly thin and tastes like it was cooked on a stone. The dough and crust is fantastic!! I included photo of the the shroom, onion, pepperoni pizza. Photo was with a flash (sorry about that). Looking foreword to trying again before I head home. \nBe warned, they combined with Smokey Joes and we initially walked passed the place. Nice dark woody atmosphere.",
"I've gotten food from Enjay's twice. The first time I got a meatball sandwich -- I thought it was great. The bread, which must have been made from their pizza dough and cooked in the pizza open because it was oh so delicious and crispy on the outside and nice and bready in the inside, was amazing. Just for that I wanted to come back asap. The meatballs themselves were fine, but generally a very good tasty sandwich (although the fries they came with tasted like they'd been sitting around for awhile). That was back in the fall.\n\nI finally got around to going back again last week-- I ordered the chicken cutlet sandwich to go this time. It was literally THE GREASIEST thing I've ever eaten. I was so, unbelievably disappointed. The pancetta and radicchio jam was really delicious. But the chicken cutlet were thin, way-over fried cutlets, and it was just dripping with grease. I literally was squeezing my sandwich together and watching oil ooze out. Every bite was like a mouthful of oil. Just not pleasant. Again, I was really disappointed because I could tell that it had the makings of a tasty sandwich but was just poorly executed. And as far as I could tell... the bread was just normal bread? Did they stop cooking the bread from pizza dough (which was mentioned in zagat philly's review?)-- in any case it wasn't as delicious as the first time. But at least the fries were much better this time.\n\nI don't know. I love the idea of Pitruco folks at Smokey's and I want to try their pizza... but I may be a little wary of the food now, and that chicken cutlet... not again.",
"I had the cauliflower sandwich. The toppings worked well, but the raisins (!) were missing. Maybe that was why my sandwich had extra aioli? Next time, I'd prefer the raisins and less aioli. The bread was excellent and the portions were great (and it came with fries, which the menu did not indicate). Bonus points for the spicy pickle spear.",
"This is awesome pizza! I had the mushroom and onion pizza. Definitely a welcome change of scenery; I've had my fair share of Allegro's. Mushroom and onion is just about my favorite combo ever. This pizza was on the sweet side, with the caramelized onions providing a lot of the flavor. The crust was done just right. I'll definitely be trying their other pizzas on a day that I'm eating meat.",
"I've come twice. The first time I had a sausage and pepper with no cheese (reason being, lactose intolerance.) They were completely obliging, and it was delicious. Crunchy, spicy, meaty. Yum.\n\nThe second time I came I threw caution to the wind, and sampled the meatball sandwich. Brilliant decision really. The bread is homemade, and deliciously crunchy. The meatballs were excellent. Don't ask, but I'd have to guess there's veal in there. The portions are generous too.\n\nI'd go back in a sec, and I will!"

"The previous restaurant was obviously on its way out so I hesitantly approached this place... and loved how Pho Kien Giang didn't try to repair everything wrong, but instead started from scratch.\n\nPHO-KIEN GOOD\nThe Pho broth contains many layers of great flavor-- yet oh so delicious. Just stop analyzing it and eat! Plus there was a huge chunk of the tendon-thingy in our Meat Combination Pho. My eats-like-a-giant boyfriend was ready to go into a food-coma afterwards. Mmmm. My own noodle dish with seasoned pork and fried egg rolls was huge. Everything texture and flavor yelled out 'fresh!'\n\nAND THEY SMILED!\nAt Asian-run restaurants, the servers typically don't smile. Our server not only smiled--he was lively! When I wanted to return my noodle dish because it contained nuts (I'm allergic) he apologized, joked how he now had a lunch, and kept us updated on remaking my dish without said ingredient. Although it was mildly confusing, we had four different servers serve my table, but they were also all very smiley.\n\nCASUAL ASIAN ATMOSPHERE\nIt's ALWAYS an awesome sign when the patrons are all of the restaurant's ethnicity. It's very casual, unpretentious, and feels like a community area: great for families or friends to chat over food. The former restaurant was small and cramped but this place knocked down the wall between it and the neighboring area to open up the room. Although it's located in a very unassuming plaza, it seems the Vietnamese community has already embraced this place.",
"I asked Vietnamese food servers at 3 other restaurants in Pinellas County...:\"Which restaurant do you eat Vietnamese food at ?\" All said - the new place, Pho Kien Giang\". So off we went to this mysterious new restaurant. The mystery was solved! The famous Vietnamese restaurant owning family from Arkansas recently opened up a new and larger restaurant!!! Here's the review: Pho Kien Giang Offers the best Vietnamese Food in Tampa Bay... Need we say more?",
"On vacay here with the fam and found this place to get some pho fix. It was surprisingly delicious.\n\nI highly recommend the spring rolls. It's hands down the best spring rolls I've had. The pork is flavored, which brings the taste up by several notches.\n\nThe beef pho, chicken pho, and soda & eggs were all fantastic. My only complaint is about the MSG as I had a huge MSG headache afterwards (common when eating pho). For most folks, that's not an issue, but for suckers like me who love to eat but are allergic to MSG, it's the price we pay for trying out new places.\n\nI recommend this place for sure!",
"wow! Great Pho and outstanding service! the new owners are doing a great job look no further for a great bowl of Pho!",
"I've been on a hunt for great pho, and I found it! Best pho I have had in the area! The broth was very flavorful, and to me pho is all about the broth. Our servers were so warm and friendly too. There are 2 sizes as well, the small pho is actually very large and filling, and the large is massive! I look forward to trying other dishes.",
"Moving to Tampa Bay from an area that had only a few Vietnamese restaurants within an hour drive, I never expected to be surrounded by so many of them here! I told my husband we would have to try each and every one just because we have a chance to.\n\nWe stopped by Pho Kien Giang last night (Sunday) with two other couples. I have been hearing rave reviews about this place from friends. It's in a strip mall off 49th Street and there's a banh mi deli next door (this place was closed last night, is it new? We'll have to try it out!).\n\nGood sign for a Viet restaurant- all of the patrons were Vietnamese. So you know the food has to be pretty good! We ordered the canh chua (sour fish soup) as an appetizer because my sister and her boyfriend said it was delicious and just like mom's. And it was! The flavors were just the right amounts of sweet and sour. The fish was firm and veggies had a nice crunch.\n\nMy husband ordered the broken rice dish with the porkchop, egg, chinese sausauge and some other stuff. It was a huge dish! He said it was very good, as I could tell from his almost clean plate (he was too full to clean it completely!). My son had the broken rice with sliced pork (thit nuong), and he said it was pretty yummy! He's very picky and other Viet restaurants he did not like the meat as well as he did here. I had the vermicelli dish with the pork and eggroll. The meat and eggroll had very good flavor and were not bland. The veggies and noodles were fresh. \n\nOur server was very friendly and accommodating. He brought out that soup as an app, even though it isn't considered an app and brought us soup bowls and silverware for it. All with a smile on his face and he didn't seem put off about it. The restaurant is very clean inside and decor is nice without being too much. Food came out in good time and drinks were refilled when getting low. Awesome service!\n\nSo overall, our meal was delicious! And the prices here are very reasonable/comparable to the other restaurants in the area. Very happy that we got to go here and we will definitely be back to try some of the other family style dinner dishes!",
"Best pho in st. Pete with reasonable prices . service is good. Also it is close to an Asian supermarket for convenience shopping. Will return.",
"I will never learn all that Pinellas Park's Little Saigon area has to offer. As soon as I think I have found every plaza containing all eateries, cafes, snack-houses, and markets--- there is always another new place that pops up or something I have just been missing all along. It was such a pleasure to find this plaza today. \n\nPho Kien Giang takes me back to some of the best Pho houses I have been to off of Buford Highway in Atlanta. While this is a mini version of those concert-hall-sized dining experiences, Kien Giang still has bench seating and experienced service. The busy parking lot reflects the bustling atmosphere, and is enough to make me feel like I'm in a large city. Competition of similar restaurants in the area is enough to keep the prices down. \nLoving their early hours, where they open at 10am on most days. \n\nYes, I should be punished, but I am not much of a Pho eater. While I enjoy tasting the broth and contemplating the depth of flavor; I still prefer to chew and not drink my food. While I am still somewhat young and my teeth work, I will prefer dishes that require chewing over those meals that are mostly in liquid form. \nPlus, sometimes I simply require a best of rice covered in the flavorful char that only the best of grilled pork chops provides. The best way to get a tasting of what a Vietnamese restaurant has to offer in the chewing part of the menu is the Com Dac Biet--- basically a sampler platter of almost every style of meat over rice. I was super excited that Kien Giang's Dac Biet was also served with a grilled bit of Chinese sweet sausage, runny fried egg, and a perfectly fried seafood cake. This plate was nothing short of phenomenal. This platter also arrived with a side of chicken broth with some scallion in it.\n\nPaul V. ordered the Pho Tai Bo Vien--- Pho with sliced beef and meatballs. The broth was good. For the rest, I'll let him write his own review.\n\nThe Goi Cuon with Tofu is the open-ended kind, and the flavor is fresh and herby. However, the dipping sauce contained so much corn starch thickener that it appeared to the consistency of snot. \n\nThe Iced Coffee is very strong and the Che Ba Mau is super sweet. Domestic and limited beer menu that runs $2-2.50. \n\nWhile good, not my favorite Vietnamese restaurant in Pinellas Park. There are so many to choose from, I recommend you try them all and make the decision for yourself.",
"compared to many other vietnamese restaurants inthe area. this restaurant food taste ok.. but nothing really special. for price，. the other restaurant on 34th street are cheap than them. if u look for cheaper price，look other places..I probably will skip this restaurant though.",
"The best Pho Đac Biet and Bún Bò Hue in the Tampa Bay area. The place is spacious and clean. The service is fast and friendly. This is where Vietnamese people go for Vietnamese food."

"In reality 3.5 stars but there isn't that option. I'm writing this the following day so I don't allow the good atmosphere cloud how I felt about the food. I started off my meal with 2 appetizers, the deep fried Mac and cheese and the Korean tacos. The Mac was good but the accompanying sauce was bland and didn't do much for the Mac. Now the taco was another story altogether, a perfect combination of flavors that hit on every note. Then came the main entree if you're serving seafood gumbo make sure it has ample seafood and that it's fresh. Here was this wonderful broth filled with rice and sausage okra chicken with 5 old shrimp and 2 pieces of crab. Now I ate the shrimp hoping that the next one I tried would be better than the last but the all had that close to turned flavor that old shrimp have. This ruined what should have been a wonderful gumbo plus why wasn't there any fish in it? The saving grace to the meal was the service was first rate and the dessert the waitress recommended was to die for. Chocoflan a chocolate cake with Flan baked into it one word amazing! I will go back because the flaws in the meal weren't enough to discourage me.",
"Our new favorite!! Just close your eyes and point at the menu and whatever it is will be awesome! Very unique and extremely friendly. The burger may be the best in the Valley!!",
"\"I'm trying to free your mind, Neo. But I can only show you the door. You're the one that has to walk through it.\"\nMorpheus, from The Matrix.\n\nDo yourself a favor and bust out of your usual restaurant stupor; only you can choose to do it. Wake up your taste buds from their unconsciousness, go ahead take the red pill and then head to Shanaz Home Kitchen to sample the best food in Boise! There I said it, I mean wrote it. Don't call bull_ _ _ _! It took me 4 months of CONSTANT eating out at some of Boise's better restaurants and also some of Boise's more appalling restaurants in order to find The One. I for one am going to stay in Wonderland because I know how deep the rabbit-hole goes. Usually I am not so dramatic, okay that's a lie, but whatever, you must try the food at Shanaz! I can only show you dear reader the door, you have to walk through it. Read on.\n\nShanaz is the type of restaurant that you go to for the food. Oh the food, the food. So freakin' good. Once you taste the Fried Man-N-Chees Balls, how can you deny their seduction? These are described on their menu as follows: \"Need I say more?\" That's it. Well, here's my attempt to describe, the \"more\" - these are tasty, fried, chees-y elbow macaroni balls of pure gluttony, which I'm pretty sure they serve in heaven. When you are in foodie heaven, i.e. Shanaz, don't worry about getting fat or the amount of carbs you are about to consume, just enjoy. You get 5 of these per order and they are HUGE BALLS. Calm down ladies, there is more than enough to go around. Shanaz's signature sauce is the accompaniment; I have no idea what it is made of, just go ahead and dip your Balls in it and enjoy a little spicy sauce with this very filling appetizer. \n\nNext you must try the Jammin' Korean Tacos. I wanted to get the Fried Green Tomatoes, but they didn't have them available because the chef wants only the best ingredients. So, we got the tacos and were amazed, I mean blown away! Each bite of this taco appetizer is a flavor sensation; the tastes are distinct yet completely complementary. Spicy, garlicky, and infused by a whole host of Asian flavors I cannot name. Atop each white corn tortilla is beef which has been marinated in a garlic oyster sauce; then the menu says the beef has been tossed with a brown sugar sesame soy sauce (don't worry they are not sweet!). On top of the beef is an Asian slaw which is your veg selection for the evening. Then as if that weren't enough to make this great, another spicy Asian sauce is served alongside. Is this what true love is all about?\n\n \"I wanna tell you a little secret, being The One is just like being in love. No one needs to tell you you are in love, you just know it, through and through.\" Oracle, from The Matrix.\n\nHaving thoroughly enjoyed the starters, we were really excited about what was to come next; we ordered the red bell pepper filled with jambalaya. You caught me, I lied again. Using the word filled is such an understatement - the pepper was not only jam-packed with rice, chicken and Andouille, it was overflowing onto the plate! I think there was as much of this Southern flavored goodness in the pepper as was on the plate, so generous, and only $10. Wow! The taste of the rice was really authentic, down home Southern spiciness and totally satisfying. In addition to all this there was a side of okra and corn! Okra in Idaho - I would've never thought that I would string those words together in a sentence, yet it's done.\n\nWhen our server recommended the seafood gumbo I thought she had forgotten what day of the week it was - Tuesday for the record. Let me explain, the menu says the seafood gumbo is only available on Friday and Saturday but when I confirmed that it was in fact Tuesday and the gumbo was available, I felt like I had won the lottery! Of course we had to add that to our order. Again, the flavors were intense and completely authentic. The chef knows his stuff! The gumbo has shrimp, okra and again the flavorful Andouille sausage. What really makes gumbo impressive in my mind is the richness, thick consistency, and depth of flavor that comes from stew. Home run once again with this version at Shanaz. Thank you, thank you, thank you! If that were not enough, our entrees came with piping hot cornbread! Sweet, but not too; crumbly and the perfect crustiness around the outer edge. Did I mention you get a whole skillet of corn bread! Well done, perfection yet again! \n\nOur server was friendly and had such an easy going demeanor that she made you feel welcome right from the beginning. There are community tables for chatting up the other devotees, err customers. Very convivial. \n\n\"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world? Welcome to the real world.\" Morpheus, The Matrix.",
"Had the ribs (with baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad and corn bread) and the gumbo. Potato salad out of this world. It opens with a burst of onion and finishes with a cool custard-like cream of egg and wonderfulness. Ribs were smoked right, super sweet, fall-off-the-bone deliciousness. Beans come in a cute little Pyrex loaf pan and the corn bread baked to perfection, drizzled with honey butter and in it's own 5\" cast iron pan. \n\nKudos on the gumbo, great broth, with shrimp, Andouille sausage, crab, okra and onions. A small amount of white rice completed the mixture for a gumbo like I've never tasted outside of New Orleans. Yummmmmmm!!",
"I just ate here for the first time and have to say it was amazing!! I had the pulled pork sandwich with a side of fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. I figured I was going to be ordering a typical pulled pork sandwich (stringy pork soaking in a vinegar bbq sauce), boy was I pleasantly surprised at what I got. The grilled pork with the sauce is large chuncks and tastes wonderful. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. I have to agree with John V. and his review. I will definately be going back to this place!!!",
"The food was fantastic. The service wasn't so much. Servers were pleasant and attentive but our food took a long time to get to our table. Our server did apologize for the delay. So perhaps this is an anomaly or perhaps its relation to Shige restaurant, which has always had crappy service is the reason?\n\nFood was tasty, spicy, can well proportioned. Actually had no room left for any dessert. \n\nBlack Tea Pork was great. A bit sweet but not overly so. Kind of like teriyaki but less sweet and think. Side of sweet corn which was great. Not sure what they did to that corn but it was really good. \n\nStuffed Pepper Jambalya was nice and spicy. And the roasted pepper was roasted to perfection. If you like mild Jambalya that is not overly hot with spices but spiced for flavor this is the dish for you. \n\nI will give this place another try. Hopefully the service will improve on my next visit.",
"The wife and I went there after hearing from a friend. WOW !!!!! The food is excellent, and the service. The dining area is spotless and cheerful. The sweet tea is great. My wife is a strict vegetarian so it is difficult to go out and find her good food. She usually settles for a vegetarian burger. She saw a vegetarian sandwich listed so she ordered that. Was she ever pleasantly surprised. When it arrived at the table it looked wonderful. She tasted it and her eyes rolled back in her head because it was seasoned so nicely. She gave me a taste. Wow, it was wonderful. Then I looked at my dish. I had ordered the Large Garlic Shrimp on potato patty. The presentation of the food on the dish was second to none. It came with a small dish of corn. Our food came with freshly baked corn bread. Delicious! The flavoring was gorgeous. The lady cooking in the back is the mother of the two delightful girls waiting the tables. She really has a talent for seasoning food. This has to be the best Cajun food we have ever eaten. We highly recommend this restaurant for your dining pleasure. And the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Hopefully I can upload the pictures we took.",
"It was a great unique meal well prepared. I had the slow cooked pork chops and they were excellent. The chop was fork tender and flavorful. Very good gravy with a southern potato cake. It is rare to get real sweet tea in Boise done with cane sugar simple syrup. My wife had the gumbo and really liked it. It had real shrimp and was very authentic. Just the right amount of spice with precisely cooked okra.\n\nThis restaurant has excellent food with a menu you don't find behind every neon sign. \n\nA little hard to find, but worth the trip. Will go back for the Jambalaya as a weekday treat.",
"Stopped by with the family for Friday dinner and the food was very very good. We had the Jammin Korean Tacos, the Chicken & Waffles and the salmon and don't have anything to complain. The staff was very friendly too. Only knock on them is they are so tiny. Hope they do well and get a bigger spot in a better location.",
"OMG, this place is foodie nirvana. We got the Nu Flavor Rolls, an appetizer that is off the freakin' hook, but not something I would normally order. They were these crazy tempura topped sushi-style roll, with little tempura shrimp on top, avacado, jalapenos,cream cheese, and god only knows what else, absolutely yum! My hubby ordered the burger, which was topped with bacon, friend egg, lettuce, tomato, crazy sauce, and the burger itself had cheese melted right in the middle of the patty, it was the size of my kids head, and he did his best, but just couldn't finish it. Delish! My kid got the sliders, and consumed both of them! (he is 5), then sat back with his hands behind his head with a big smile on his face. I haven't seen him eat that much in a very long time. For my main dish I had the shrimp with garlic chili paste sauce over an insanely good potato pancake, this crazy carmelized corn in a sweet sauce, (also had the choice of green beans if you aren't into the corn) and served with their wonderful cornbread. I don't know what else to say other than I could not stop eating, and really needed to stop myself before exploding. \n The service was excellant too. Our waiter, Keegan was the nicest guy, who gave us the recommendation for the Nu Flavor rolls, which some other patrons piped right up to give their thumbs up too. He really made us feel like old friends. Last time we were there I had the chicken and waffles, and my hubby got the Korean tacos, which he adored,and they are only $2 a piece? What?! Seriously, one of the best places to eat in Meridian. Wow!"

"Definitely disappointed! We love supporting our new and upcoming local businesses, however we were sorely disappointed in the food quality and service. \n\nThe Mac and three cheese was $8 for half a dish of food. I would have said something, except for this was a to go order and I didn't notice until I was back at work. It was edible, but definitely nothing to write home about. \n\nWe may try it again in the future. My colleagues and I love having new places in the area to dine. We really wanted to like this place, but for the value, it doesn't seem feasible to dine here often. \n\nPS thanks for the toaster struttle.",
"I absolutely love this place!! I recently lived in Salt Lake city Utah, and often went to the several locations there. The food is always fresh, great service! I look forward to Corner Bakery opening more locations throughout the city...",
"Corner Bakery just opened this week, so we were eager to try it. \nWow! We loved it. The food was delicious. And the staff was very friendly and attentive. \nWe were greeted at the front door, given menus, and told that after we ordered at the counter our food would be brought to our table. \nEvery employee that walked past us, asked if we needed anything (and they allowed my mother and I to sit and visit a Long time, so a number of employees passed us). Even the owner stopped by to ensure everything was great (which it was).\nThanks, we will definitely be back!",
"Well, when you think corner bakery you would think stuff would be made fresh at the cafe, nope.. I asked for a side pecans to put on top of my bunt cake and was advised they don't have them. Hum there's some on top of that pecan maple thing there. She said again they don't have them with a puzzled look the girl said that they come in frozen from Texas or someplace but the bake them here. They did offer me some walnuts instead which was very nice. The place is nice and clean but I truly miss a place that can make fresh bake items locally.",
"I guess this feels too much like a fancy sandwich shop chain. I rather go and support our local mom and pop restaurants that they do bake fresh stuff and don't have to freeze their breads. I can say been there but not going back. Wish you luck.",
"The food was good but nothing out of the ordinary.\n\nPros- it looks nice inside with the decorations.There are a variety of options to choose from when it comes to choosing a meal. They put protein inside there smoothies as an option. They're open Sundays, as well as have a pick up window. Their Monster Cookies are the best sweet options I think.\n\nCons- They don't make their bread in house. They don't have alot of options when it comes to sweets. Their window is a pick-up window meaning you order online or over the phone. There's no drive thru menu. When you order a bread bowl, it comes with the soup inside the bread bowl instead of on the side, so not enough soup.\n\nOver all I give it 3.5 stars but it's right next to Kneaders. So you can try both places out to see which is better.",
"First time visit for lunch today, we had the half turkey and avocado, half BBLT, regular salad, and spinach and fruit salad. Overall the food was ok, but not what we'd expect from a \"bakery/café\". The salad was pretty good, had fresh fruit, very fresh spinach, feta, and some great dressing. The sandwiches on the other hand were pretty basic. The turkey looked just like lunch meat style with the thin \"edge\" on it. Basic fixed at home taste overall. Had a cheesecake brownie for dessert that my wife and daughter didn't even finish...tasted like it was frozen. \nMore interesting was the table bussers that did literally 19 laps in the 5 or 6 minutes that we waited for our food. I'm sure that they were told to do their rounds but between the 3 managers we saw, the waiters, the order takers, and what appeared to be 2 dedicated bathroom cleaners, the staff was everywhere. It started to detract from our eating experience and become annoying watching them make their non-stop laps. \nGlad we gave it a try but I think we'll go back to Kneaders next time.",
"I have been to this corner bakery several times and the food is always\ngreat, people are so friendly, the servers ask how things are, like they really do care and(I think they do) we were talking with the manager, and ask him how the Mac and Cheese was, well he gave us a sample, it\nwas so yummy, a must have for sure. You have to try this place, it will be your new best place to eat, oh they are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Five stars from me",
"Went there today for the first time with my husband and daughter. The food is really good, but the people they have working the registers need to learn how to be polite to people when they are taking customers orders. Our dog died yesterday and we were in a better mood then the girl who helped us. The monster cookies are amazing and the coffee cake is to die for! Just wish the employees at the register weren't so rude!!!!",
"Some quick observations:\n\n1- yes it's Tucson and yes it's July but the A/C is apparently set to Alaska in winter\n\n2- on a scale of 1-10 the roasted potatoes are a zero. Mushy and strangely sweet with a color that is unappetizing \n\nThanks for the awesome coffee and condiment bar, though."

"I am completely shocked and appalled at the way Fox Sports Live treated my family and me when we visited the restaurant on Saturday. Days prior, I called to make a reservation for us to dine on Saturday evening. The woman on the phone took my name and phone number and said that she would make our reservation. When we arrived on Saturday at 4:30 (30 minutes earlier than our reservation time, because we knew it would be crowded), we decided to let them know we were there, in case we could be seated early by some miracle. The woman at the hostess stand (who calls herself the \"Hostess Manager\") told me that my reservation was not there and instead suggested we put our name on the 1.5 hour long waiting list. She asked me if I knew the name of the person I spoke with on the phone, implying that I was lying about having made a reservation. Of course, I didn't know the name of the woman on the phone, because that's not something you typically ask for and remember for three days when you make a call of this sort. When I asked to speak with a manager, she said \"You can, but he's going to tell you the same thing.\" When I spoke with the manager, Taylor, he apologized and insisted that we would be the next 4-person table sat. That was fine, except we saw four 4-person parties get seated right after that. No one said another word to us while we stood right next to them for another 45 minutes, and we finally decided to leave at 5:30, still hungry and disgusted, 30 minutes after our supposed reservation time. After experiencing such disrespect and disregard for a customer's diligent planning to give an establishment their business, my family and I will never be returning here and will not recommend this restaurant to anyone. One of the worst experiences I've had at a place of business in years.",
"This place is in the center of BallPark Village. When you enter the complex, Fox Sports is right there. I love the open atmosphere of the space and the mega screen tv. It was 3 in our party and we visited on a Non-Game day Monday around 4pm and had no issues getting seated. Each of us tried something different. I had the Beer Battered Fish Sliders and side of fries, my friends tried the chicken quesadillas and the turkey hoagie. We all enjoyed our dishes. The space is relaxing and great for hanging out with friends. The one thing I didn't care for was the outfits of the waitresses...they could have done a much better job. Yuck.",
"Great sports bar. I got the chicken bacon Mac and ordered a side of fries, but wished I hadn't after the food came! The entree filled up the entire plate and by the time I was halfway done I was stuffed beyond belief. The fries were out of this world, and the huge tv is great for watching a Cardinals game (even if you aren't a Cardinals fan like myself). Only complaint was the server walked right by me four times and I sat for fifteen minutes before being helped, but once I got her attention she was very attentive.",
"Cool atmosphere, albeit loud. But, this is the WORST food I've ever had! Spinach artichoke dip was lukewarm and the chips were chewy and stale. Ordered the Gruyere grilled cheese. Sounds fancy and gourmet, right? It was disgusting. Seriously, how hard is it to mess up grilled cheese??\n Salad had a funky taste, was wilted and the \"balsamic vinegarette\" looked and tasted nothing like any other balsamic vinegarette I've ever had before. My daughter's chicken tenders were the kind you get from a cheap, frozen bag, and my son (who loves pizza) didn't even finish his kiddie pizza because he said the cheese \"tasted funny\". \nBoth my son and I (the only two to actually eat the spinach artichoke dip) felt sick within a couple of hours! \n\nVery, very disappointing since this is such a great venue. Good atmosphere for watching games and people watching. (Although the reserved tables were waaaaaaay to close to the big screen.) I would only go here to grab some drinks while watching the game. I will NEVER eat here again!\n\nOne positive note- the waiter was super friendly and attentive.\n\nI recommend making your reservation online if you want a table. Several people in front of us in line said they had called they're reservation in and the hostess said she had no record of it. She asked \"who did you speak with?\" And \"did you make it online?\" I was glad I had.",
"This place need to replace all or both two hosts at shift time 2-5pm of today. I came in today when it was empty. I took my friend who came from out of town here to let her see what St. Louis, but I'm embarrass by service here by the host when it fucking empty. We came in and sit ourself at the the circle booth. About few minute later the this bitchy host came toward us yell at us behind the booth saying you can not sit here repeatedly. She didn't even came in front of us to say that, but yell at us behind our back rudely. I didn't want to make a big deal because I was with my friend, but because of that bitch my friend was really unhappy eating there. That totally ruin my friend experience here and gave St. Louis a bad reputation!",
"Come early in game day! Great burgers and tater tots, homemade chips were ok. If your a Cardinals fan this is the place for you.",
"Great place to grab a bite and watch some ESPN. We were in town to see the Gateway Arch, but still loved the vibe in the place after a hot day touring around. Highly recommend the place for good food and service.",
"Poorly run. You don't know it's not first come seating-you're suppose to see the hostess for any seats, not that it's stops anyone from sitting & being chased away. Great place to watch many many tvs.",
"Yesterday we had family in town for a short visit, they wanted to see the Arch and then we decided to take them over to see Ballpark Village. Yesterday was an away-game day, we arrived at around 4:00pm. Walking into Midwest Live, we were almost the only people there, not crowded at all. Still, you cant choose a seat you have to wait to be seated. Our friends wanted to sit in the big round seats, we were told we could not sit there unless we ordered food. I told her we were ordering appetizers and drinks but NOPE.... had to sit at a bench table in the middle of the room even though nobody else was there eating, that was a real bummer.\nDrinks are pricey $18.00 for the pints of beer) but the choices were good. Ordered the nachos which were served on a 16-inch pizza pan - YUM! These are a must have. Also got fried pickles which come in a cone wrapped in while paper. We started to munch on them only to discover the pickles are only a top layer, underneath is filled with potato chips! Called over to ask the waitress if this was the norm, she said no. Saw her show them to the manager and then they quickly replaced them with a new order. Loved our waitress! So, prices are high but we expected that going in, food tasted great and the beer was cold!",
"Fox Sports Midwest Live is located in the Ballpark Entertainment District right across the street from Busch Stadium. We were there on Oct. .22nd. They feature a huge HD television screen. The main feature this evening was the World Series, S.F. Giants vs the KC Royals. We were seated immediately. The place was moderately busy. It was also half price appetizer night After being seated, it was 15 minutes before a waitress came by. We ordered 3 beers and then proceeded to wait another 20 minutes before they were delivered. We then ordered 3 of the 1/2 price appetizers, fish sliders, chicken quesadilla and chicken nachos. Food came with in a reasonable time by another waitress. The food wasn't bad. The food was typical bar fare. Then we ordered another round of beer. Again, the wait was well over 20 minutes. Ask for our ticket and another wait of 15 minutes and they had rang up the appetizers at full price! Got our waitress over to fix the ticket and had to wait another 15 minutes. We had enough, tipped our waitress 5 bucks and left. The District features several other bars and restaurants, I recommend that you visit one of them and skip Fox Sports Midwest. The service at this place is very slow. I think this place is in need of a management change."

"Tijuana Flats offers a wide variety of tex-mex standards including tacos, chimichangas, flautas, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, enchiladas and salads. Each menu items can be made with ground beef, steak, chicken, blackened chicken or rice and black beans with fresh lettuce, tomato, black olives, jalapenos (fresh cut not pickled.. yum!), cheese and sour cream. Ordering an item \"PowerLite\" means they will use lower fat cheese and sour cream which is good when you are trying to eat healthier. \n\nThe atmosphere of the restaurant is casual and you order at a counter, but then the food is brought back to your table and waiters/waitress come by to fill up drinks and clean up your table. So it is half way between fast foot and sit down dining. \n\nOne of the best aspects of the place is their Hot Sauce bar. Varying locations will have different amounts of sauces, but this Largo location has one of the larger bars with a wide number of varieties (15-20). Some of the sauces change from month to month so you get to try new types all the time. \n\nThe prices are reasonable and the service is friendly and dependable. Another thing I love about Tijuana Flats is the speedy service. When I call them with a take out order, it is always ready the second I walk in the door and all the order is always correct. Also the staff at all the locations always seems to be very friendly. \n\nI tend to always get the dos tacos hard shell with black beans and it makes for a delicious vegetarian meal. Both their black beans and refried beans are vegetarian-friendly so that is a definite plus. A small side of queso goes great as a dip for the chips that come with the meal, and if you are extra hungry you can get a rice and beans side for a small up-charge. As silly as this may sound they used crushed iced in their drinks and it is yummy. They also offer a good selection of beers including mexican ones like Tecate, Modelo (especial and negra), and Dos Equis. This location also has Shock Top on draft. \n\nI definitely prefer Tijuana Flats over Chiptole, Moes, Qdoba or other places like that. It is a Florida chain (starting in Olrando) so it is local too. I'm a big fan.",
"In a world of scarce justice for millions if not billions of people, .05 cents worth (to make) of chips and salsa may not seem like anything, but try telling a man whose beloved wife died that's it's no big deal because thousands of people die every day. \n\nI was prepared to write a five-star review of TJ Flats, a restaurant I've been visiting for years, but they cheated me out of my free chips and salsa, which one can win by correctly answering their daily trivia question. \n\nThe TJ Flats Trivia question of the day was, \"Escape artist \nHarry Houdini died of what causes?\" I knew Houdini died from being punched in the stomach and told this to the girl behind the counter. \n\n\"Yes, but what was the *cause* of death?\" \n\nI stared at her. \"Being punched in the stomach.\" \n\n\"No, the medical condition.\" \n\nFans and friends, I poop you not, the next word out of my mouth was, \"Peritonitis.\" \n\n\"No,\" said the girl behind the counter, \"it was from a ruptured appendix.\" \n\nThe meat in the two tacos I ordered was cold. And the tacos came with chips, the EXACT same chips I would've received free if I'd gotten the trivia question right. But this wasn't about the chips anymore, it was about Justice. How many people know about Houdini getting punched in the stomach? Did you? \n\nI considered talking to a manager, but I (used to) frequent the place fairly regularly and didn't want to be known as the \"Trivia Chips Jerk Guy\" though I act politely at all times. I went home, depressed. I can take a lot of crap from this world, and do. Suffering is universal. But this whole chips affair was like meeting your dream girl and having her fart in your face. On purpose. \n\nLater that night I got on wikipedia and discovered that Houdini had died of PERITONITIS resulting from the ruptured appendix. So I was right all along. I seriously considered marching back to TJ Flats with a printout of Houdini's wikipedia article, but finally this seemed as stupid and trivial and insane as the trivia game itself. Imagine Gil Grissom from CSI poring over Houdini's autopsy report with a pretty 18-year-old girl in shorts. Just another Saturday night in Clearwater.",
"Smack My Ass & Call Me Sally? Absolutely! While my loyalties lie with the Westchase location, I work crazy close to this one. As far as I'm concerned, Tijuana Flats is legit y'all. Plus, I love the sauce bar! Try Jason's Mom's Hot Sauce...perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The service is quick. The drink refills are a-plenty (not to mention the amazing crushed ice situation!). I've tried most of the things on the menu and haven't found a bad one in the bunch!",
"Great food. I always get the pick two with chicken, cheese, black beans, sour cream and the habanero sauce. Mmm awesome!",
"Was hungry, and had never been - even though it's right down the street from me. I wanted to eat there, but was confused because although there was an ordering counter, there were also servers... I stood at the door waiting for someone to tell me what to do, for a few minutes before I just grabbed a menu and sat down. They were not that busy, and the server's knew I was there... I had questions about the menu, and it seemed like I could have had the plague or something because they acted like i wasn't there. I was about to stick my foot out and trip a waitress to get her attention, when I guess one of them noticed I was looking a little confused & bothered. I explained to her I had never been in there before. She told me I could order through her or the counter., then walked away. I wanted to ask her more questions, like what \"carnitas\" are, but she skitted away so fast, I had to Google it on my phone. I should have left, but I was in pain from hunger.. So I went up to the counter and ordered Dos tacos with carnitas (roast pork, yall - thanks Google), one hard, one soft; and an order of the Tijuana Trio nachos (comes with melted queso, guacamole, & salsa).\n\nThe nachos were really good. The guacamole was yummy.\nThen the server brought out my tacos, and lo and behold there were nacho's served with it. Hello?? Why didn't the girl who took my order inform me that the tacos already came with nachos?? \n\nFood was ok/good, service was below par.\n\nNot impressed with this place, and won't be going back.",
"I've visited this Tijuana Flats location about 3 times over the past 4 years. It's conveniently located on the southwest corner of Belcher and E. Bay in Clearwater. The store is a typical fast food layout, always clean and neat, with plenty of seating in front of and to the side of the order counter. The staff is always friendly, and ordering taking and food delivery is always prompt.\n\nTijuana Flats serves up a fair sized menu squarely in the Tex-Mex tradition. Although the delivery is fast food, it's a significant step up from any Taco Bell-type store in the area. I'm not a fan of most Tex-Mex style restaurants, and vastly prefer the places where you can get more authentic Mexican flavors. But that's not a criticism of places like Tijuana Flats....they are what they are, they shouldn't try to be something else, and for what they do they do it well.\n\nI usually order the basic taco or enchilada dinner, and it's always been good. Baskets of tortilla chips have always been warm and tasty. Which brings me to the one thing that I truly don't like about Tijuana Flats, their basic salsa. Yes, they have a huge selection hot sauces......I imagine the biggest in the area. But I find their basic salsa simply harsh tasting, almost like they've taken some tomatoes along with with some variety of pepper in there and pureed it far too long into a monochromatic liquid. I suppose if you look at it as a hot sauce in a long line of other offerings to cover many flavor ingredients in Tex-Mex, it's ok. But I vastly prefer salsa's where it's a bit more clear, liquidy, richer and more complex in taste, and you can see what has gone into the ingredients.....the kind of salsa you can find at virtually every taqueria around town. Yes, it's nitpicking, but for my taste buds, the salsa should be the crowning flavor on top of a soft corn tortilla, meat filling, cilantro, maybe some onions. And for me, the salsa here just doesn't pull that off very well.\n\nOther than that, though, I've simply enjoyed Tijuana Flats for what it is, a chance to get a shot of Mexican quickly, with a minimum of effort and time. Actually achieving what I suppose Taco Bell tries to do, but falls far short of most of the time. With so many good authentic taquerias in the area, I'm not likely to drop in here unless it's for convenience. My scores on a \"Pinellas taqueria scale\":\n\nAtmosphere: 4\nService: 5\nFood: 4\nValue: 4",
"Well, I went back to TJ Flats this year. Bitterness reigns in my heart over the 'trivia incident' whereby I was CHEATED out of winnable chips and salsa, and the trivia question they had up this time was insanely difficult. Who is wasting their time naming mountains in South America? They're not exactly moving fast like athletes with jersey names and numbers.\n\nThe sauce bar hadn't changed with its many beautiful mild-to-lethally hot sauces, rows of pumps and tiny paper cups standing by. The menu, however, HAD changed, significantly. Gone from the tall, laminated one-sheet was the steak-n-cheese burrito, though I was able to order it under a different name. I BOUGHT my chips and salsa like a damned pedestrian, but at least the chips were still freefills.\n\nIt was late and the place was empty, which I prefer. The not-exactly-waitresses were not as cute as before and didn't come around often to fill the freefill drinks. The manager was decent; back in the old days there was a new one every week. \n\nPrices remained fairly steep. News of the recession/depression never reached TJ Flats.\n\nTJ Flats, the whimsy of our relationship is gone. Now you're just a crazy ex-girlfriend one immediately regrets seeing again. I like Taco Bell well enough that I don't need you anymore, except once in a great while.",
"YES! This is where I get my fast Mexican food fix. Love the burritos, tacos, and nachos. With the largest selection of hot sauces (That you can also buy and take home) I've seen, and you can try them all. The staff is friendly, you order at the register and they bring the food to your table. Hot Hot Hot, and delicious. \n\nMmmmm.",
"Came here on a recent trip to the Tampa Bay area. So happy to find this place! The hot sauces were amazing and there was such an amazing array of flavors and spices to choose from, our favorite was the mild sauce called \"Smak my ass and call me Sally\", which we found quite amusing. We arrived towards the end of the evening, and the place was practically empty. Our server, whom we found out was from New Jersey, (not too far from where we are from) was super nice and even gave us a free order of chips because it was our first visit there. We ordered the taco salads which were freshly made to order...and I must say, one of the better ones I've had in recent years. When we return to the area, we will definitely come back to this place!",
"Semi-fast food Mexican food. You walk in and get handed a menu, then you walk to the register and order and pay then sit down. They bring you your food and refill your drinks. Service was quick and friendly and I was asked 3 or 4 times if I wanted a drink refill. I ordered chips and salsa and a carnitas burrito with rice and black beans. Chips were good, salsa was definitely subpar. Beans and rice were excellent, the burrito was huge. Burrito was tasty."

"This is one of my favourite Chinese restaurants ever! The owners have always been so accommodating to my family and the food is consistently good. Their flavours are so clean and fresh - even their deep fried General Tso's chicken is airy tasting. My personal pick: obviously their mustard greens.",
"Mustard Green is a great Chinese food option if you aren't into heavy, MSG-laden and extremely fatty food. They cook a lot with fruit, which is a big favorite of mine. I got a spicy chicken and nectarine dish stuffed with snow peas and bamboo shoots which was so very tasty and so very light. The ambiance is also better than the usual Chinese-American cafeteria style with big bright lights and paper placemats. The prices are a bit higher than at your average Chinese restaurant, but the quality you get is worth it.\n\nThey were also able to accomodate a party of fourteen easily and took care of us extremely well.",
"A coworker recommended this Chinese restaurant to me, but I didn't think it was all the egg roll it was cracked up to be.\n\nIt is contemporary Chinese cuisine, so it looks like a nice restaurant inside and the service was great. The food is a bit more expensive than normal (dumplings are $6) Chinese, but it wasn't anything to rave about. Actually, a lot of the menu items are listed the same as take-out Chinese (Moo Shu Chicken with Pancake, 12.00; Stir Fried Chicken with Snow Peas, 12.00).\n\nThe food, to me, was bland and I would have rather just ordered take out from Rich City.",
"The best Chinese, in or out of Chinatown. It is not your traditional greasy, MSG-laden takeout-type Chinese. Everything is fresh, crisp and delicious. It is a small, \"no-frills\" decorated stark restaurant. There is usually a bit of a wait and the service is not the best. The chicken dishes are all white meat; the vegetables in the Moo Shoo are so crisp (make sure to ask for extra plum sauce for the Moo Shoo). Start with the sauted green beans while you are waiting, and get a few if there are more than two of you in your party. All the eggplant dishes are great and so are the dumplings/wontons. \nI didn't care for the calamari but the General Tso's more than made up for it.",
"This place was pretty good, although I am not really sure why it is categorized as dim sum because it doesn't appear to be a dim sum restaurant - the only dim sum on the menu was your standard steamed or fried dumplings. Service was very good and the food was wonderful albeit a little more pricey then I would have thought. All in all, I would recommend this place if you are in the area.",
"Mustard Greens makes fresh, non-greasy Chinese American food. The basics - wonton soup, fried rice, stir-fried green beans, etc -- are delicious. I didn't love the Hong Kong Beef, and the tofu with vegetables was unexciting. (I guess I could have seen that one coming.) But this place is a go-to for tasty Chinese food that's flavorful and never greasy.",
"The food was very bland and the service was comparable. The prices were higher than we expected especially considering the portions and taste. We must have ordered wrong or something, but I wouldn't go back to find out. \n\nI'm always surprised to see this place rated so high. Especially with so many better places to eat in the neighborhood.",
"I thought this place was ok. Sort of bland and expensive. If you are a person who likes the traditional, greasy take-out with pork fried rice and an eggroll, this is not the place for you. It is a very pleasant atmosphere however, and friendly service, so it could be worth a trip if you like slightly more upscale Chinese food.",
"Cantonese style Chinese cuisine, yum. The food is light and healthy, not heavy like other chinese styles or restaurants. It is a little more pricy than its competitors but I believe the pricing is still cheaper than heavy Italian food or chi-chi french style food anyday. The atmosphere is friendly and its in a great location.",
"This place is a step above your typical Chinese take out. The ambiance and service are very nice. The ingredients are fresh and you can actually taste the vegetables. I got the stir fried scallops and asparagus, which was good, if a bit bland. The servings are very small, so if you are hungry, you will have to order more than just an entree. I got the egg rolls (delicate and nice, not amazing), my entree, and shared a steamed rice. This proved not enough (and I don't eat like a pig!) so I had to get some soup at the end of my meal. The soup, chicken corn, was also a bit bland. Overall, a nice place to go for better than average but not super flavorful Chinese food."

"Until Primo's franchises starting popping up all over, Silvio's was THE place for hoagies. The bread's the thing (in my humble opinion) when it comes to good hoagies. Sure, you need quality meats, cheeses and other fixin's, but if the bread ain't good, it really doesn't matter what's inside. Silvio's bakes their own bread, and it's different in taste and texture from what Primo's offers. It's simply delicious and works well with their steak offerings too. I also love their homemade tomatoe pie. Sometimes I just pop in at lunch and get a slice of that and I'm in heaven. My only complaint about Silvio's is not enough hours - why not stay open later on Saturdays (they close at 4pm) and Friday night (I think they close at 6 or 7 pm)? Sunday hours would be nice too - we crave Silvio's when watching an Eagles game on a Sunday afternoon, and buying your sandwich the day before doesn't cut it when it comes to hoagies and steaks.",
"This is THE place to go to get one of the BEST Philly Cheesesteaks you'll ever have. It's all about the roll and given that Silvio's bakes their own, I'd say that makes their Cheesesteaks one of the best.",
"I can't even describe how amazing their cheesesteaks are! They bake their own bread each day.....rolls are awesome. I just moved back to the area, and their cheesesteaks just can't be beat. I got extra cheese on mine last time which was worth it. They have earlier hours, which kind of stinks, but makes you crave them even more! Larges are HUGE and somewhat inexpensive!!!!",
"The other reviewers are right, it is all about the bread. And just about anything you put on those fresh and toasty rolls is going to be out of this world. I love a great egg sandwich, and their ham, egg and cheese is amazing. Their cheese steaks are excellent as well. The only thing I have had that I would not recommend was the pepperoni stromboli. They sell them frozen, and it doesn't sound like a bad thing, but it was so full of pepperoni that is was barely edible.",
"Fantastic Food. I eat there almost everyday and they consistently impress me. They bake their own bread on site fresh everyday. I can't think of anything I've ever gotten there that wasn't great.",
"The best cheesesteak in the Delaware Valley. Go ahead and try to argue it. You can not. Do you want to know why you can't? Because your favorite cheesesteak place doesn't make their own bread. Silvio's is the only sandwich shop I know of that makes their own bread in house. Even Sarcone's on 9th makes it down the street. This bread is made 20 feet from where your sandwich is constructed. I love the sassy ladies that work at Silvio's, and the customers are always nice to chat with while waiting for your epic sandwich. Parking can be difficult but it's worth all your trouble.",
"The Italian is great. I guess for the price I can forego the prosciutto, but it's still great What makes it great? Fresher and tastier rolls than the Amoroso roll, and the always pleasant Mrs. Silvio. I just love chatting with her. For the record, I cannot go in this place often because my senses become overloaded. Tuna, Corned Beef Hoagies, Cheesesteaks, Italian, I can't stand making decisions like this. If you go to Wawa across the street for a hoagie when you can get a great one here, you should be sterilized.",
"Really good bread made there. They also sell Italian loves and at holidays they offer holiday bread which is amazing. It is a sweet bread with icing. You can luck into a loaf once in a while but best to order ahead of time. My husband and I enjoy there cheese steaks and ham and cheese hoagies. There Stromboli's are also really good.",
"Best roll I ever had with a cheesesteak. The meat and cheese were the usual, very good Stuff you can get at a thousand places around Philly. The roll, fughedaboutit! None better in my opinion. You wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference, but it does. Don't wait. Go there now",
"Someone used to have a slogan.. its all about the bread. Well they must hvae been talking about Silvio's. Their rolls are wonderful. I just tried an italian hoagie and it was very good. They use Dietz and Watson meats, so they are not going to wow you with ingredients, but the crusty roll and the well put together sandwich is a treat. One of the better hoagies in the area. They have been around 30 years and I hope they are around another 30\n\nAnd with regard to the parking. They clearly mark their parking lot for customer, since they own it and it can get crowded. Makes sense to me."

"It's basically Don's Bagels with a new name, same mediocre bagels and sometimes painfully slow service. In a pinch, it's ok.",
"Formerly Don's Bagels.\n\nI ordered whitefish salad on a sun dried tomato bagel. The whitefish salad isn't very good here, and I don't think I would order it again. The bagels are pretty tough, I have definitely had better. \n\n They do have interesting homemade cream cheeses, a buch of different flavors (and I like that they don't sell them in gignatic tubs like some other bagel shops).\n\nService at the coutner was friendly, but I thought it took a while for my lunch to come out considering they just slapped some whitefish salad on a bagel with lettuce tomato and onion with a bag of chips. MAYBE they made the whitefish salad fresh when I ordered it, but I hope not due to the quality.\n\nAccept credit cards ($3.00 minimum).",
"The service is THE WORST..and what bagel shop opens at 630? You serve breakfast right?? I went a few times and walked out like 30 min later... I live in the development behind the place and I drive 10 miles to Einstein bagel.. Don's , ry's whatever...go take notes on service and product..",
"This is the worst bagel place I have ever eaten at. Simply put the food was terrible.",
"I want to like this place - I really do. They're local, huge supporters of the community, but Lord their food is awful. The bagels are tough, often dull and flavorless. I had the everything toasted and the onion toasted (came out char-burnt). How is an everything bagel flavorless? \n\nI went back out of convenience and a bit of \"shop locally in family-owned establishments\" ideology. I ordered turkey bacon and mayo on an everything. The bagel was flat (in flavor), the turkey was ICE cold, the bacon was paltry and of the cheapest quality. Terrible - and at over $5 for just the sandwich and 25 minutes from walking in the door to having the sandwich ready? \n\nMaybe the college kids don't know good food - but I sure do!\n\n****Edit: Speaking of college kids, about an hour after I wrote this, a college student (who gives Taco Bell five stars, but Ry's bagels only three) decided to email me trying to negotiate/debate this review. Fun times.\n\n****I do not understand an establishment trying to defend themselves against a wall of bad reviews. Saying \"I garuntee (seriously) you didn't wait 30 minutes\" or \"we've been voted best bagels\" is really sad.",
"I was in the area and discovered this place. Considering I was hungry I stopped in. Amazing bagels! I ordered a wheat toasted bagels with veggie cream cheese. Incredible. I am not sure how others are rating buy the bagels are fresh as wheel as is the cream cheese. I will be coming back! I can not judge their other food but breakfast its my new favorite place.",
"Reviews are a funny thing online. Some people enjoy writing reviews and detailing their experience regardless of where they go. The majority of people choose to write a review when their experiences are disappointing. Personally, I believe the reviews to be true - their food does take a while to prepare. I don't mind this because it gives me time to drink coffee for a bit and share conversation. I'm not in a rush when I go. Only once have I experienced a dry, tough and seemingly stale bagel. There was only two left of the flavor I ordered at noon, so perhaps it was six hours old. I really didn't mind - if I did - I would have said something and I'm sure they would have remade it.\n\nI grew up eating Don's bagels - was upset when they closed for a short bit, and I was ecstatic to learn that the same place reopened with a new name... I'm assuming the previous owner was Don - I still see him there quite often when I visit. This place is one of the small local gems that I like to show family and friends whom visit from out of state. The service is always friendly and polite, the different flavors of coffee they offer are always excellent. They have a variety of available ingredients, and I think that's really neat. Their prices are reasonable - they could easily charge a dollar or two more for their sandwiches - but they don't - the prices are cheap for a sandwich.\n\nI would have offered five stars, however, this is why I gave four. Being that this is one of my favorite places, there are a few things that I'd like to see. I would like to see them offer real home fries versus a fried patty that is similar to McDonalds. I'd like to see thicker bacon that isn't as crispy - I wouldn't be surprised if they use the pre-fried bacon anyone can buy at a grocery. I'd also like to see a slightly better quality sausage. I'm not a fan of sausage patties. It's a short list, and I wouldn't mind paying extra.\n\nI think they have the best bagels in Gloucester County - I hope they are around for many years to come.",
"I don't even know how to review this place. \n\nI ordered a gluten free bagel from the girl behind the counter working veryyyyyy slowly. Thank goodness she wasn't the one preparing the bagels. I wasn't sure if I should feel bad for her or be frustrated. I was both.\n\nOrdered my bagel, then waited, and waited. Only to have the owner (manager?) come out and tell me they were out of the GF bagels. Though I asked before ordering and paying. She did offer me a roll instead, but who wants a roll with cream cheese for breakfast? Not me! They happily gave me my money back. And after losing 20+ minutes of my morning I was on my way. The other bagels looked good, and the cream cheese creations were homemade, so I'd recommend it to non-GF eaters in the area.",
"I have been a long-time customer of Ry's (formerly Don's) Bagels. Both their breakfast and lunch options are very tasty, with great vegetarian options. My go-to order is a veggie-sausage, egg, and cheese for breakfast (though it should be labeled as veggie-scrapple considering the taste and texture). The atmosphere is informal and laid-back with quick and efficient to-go service.",
"One of my favorite places to visit. I frequently visit here on the weekends and the bagel sandwiches are always delicious. I have been coming here since it was Don's Bagels and it's still the same."

"Nice little low-key cafe claiming \"The best Cuban sandwiches in town\". Didn't get a chance to try a sandwich from here but I was in the mood for a Cuban guava pastry and they did me good here. It was a flakey big turnover with guava and cheese filling. Didn't think they were homemade but hit the spot.\n\nBottom line: Get your guava pastries here.",
"Not the best Cuban sandwiches in Tampa, but a decent place that's worth your time. I have to give this place credit, they actually make my favorite Cuban dish....Roba Vieja, a.k.a \"Old Clothes\" -Shreded beef sauteed with garlic, onions, tomatoes and peppers. I add a couple more secret ingredients to my homemade version, but their version was just fine. They also make another one of my favorites \"Picadillo Criollo\" - Finely ground beef seasoned with garlic, onions, tomatoes, pepper, olives and capers. I'll try this next time. As for their Cuban Sandwiches, Ruben's doesn't disappoint, but it is not the best in town. Their coffee (cafe con'leche) was also solid. This is one Cuban cafe that I will return to for more. I would like to give them three and a half stars for now.",
"Ruben's changed hands some time ago, but they've kept up the quality. When I'm forced to go to Tampa, it's one of my first destinations (ever since the closure of Antranik's, RIP, sob); when I leave, I usually swing by on the way to the airport to get a sandwich for the flight. When the flight attendants come by with their calcified sandwiches and tiny bags of chips marked up to 1200% of their value, the people sitting near me on the plane look longingly at the massive juicy deliciousness I have brought with me.\n\nFriendly people. Odd American Graffiti-esque décor. Service is usually good; they sometimes get distracted, but will keep refilling your iced tea or soda until your kidneys are ready to give out. Black beans are excellent, and for to go orders they have packets of hot sauce (if you're not like me and don't have hot sauce everywhere). Calling in your order at lunchtime is advised.\n\nI love San Francisco; it's a culinary powerhouse with remarkable diversity, often with amazing food at surprisingly low prices. Why can't we have a decent cheap Cubano restaurant?",
"i am a cuban-american. if you want real cuban food, don't come here. i have been there a number of times. trying to give them a chance. the food might be good to someone who dosn't know what they are eating, but not for me. stay away from the white or yellow rice. yuk.",
"Yummy Yummy Yummy! This place is really good. The best is the Cuban Burrito!!! At least me and my bf LOVE IT...\n\nIts cheap and good, the food is really yummy! The service is so nice, I never had a problem. Everyone is really friendly.\n\nThe reason why I dont give 5stars is because one time they got my order wrong, and they are not very consistent with the size of their food... Dont get me wrong I never get too little... But sometimes I get a huge burrito, and sometimes a so-so size, and when I take people there its smaller than what I remember.. So I'm like OKAYYY lol...\n\nBut its still as delicious!",
"Food still good.. \nCockroach in the rice...\nBIG NO NO FOR ME\nsorry not going back !",
"I've lived in Florida for 10 months now and this is the first time trying a Cuban sandwich. I also tried their turkey club sandwich, but it is made in the same style as the Cuban, pressed and toasted. Delish. I loved the turkey club. I liked the Cuban, but it was almost too much meat. The 4 inch was more then enough to fill me up. Next time I want to try the pork sandwich. I only gave them 4 stars because I've never had a Cuban before so I can't compare them to anyone else. But if you are in the area, pass up all the other restaurants around because you can have that same food back home. Get some good Cuban grub! The staff is super friendly and they didn't take very long to make my sandwiches. I will definitley go back the first chance I get.",
"Ruben's is a favorite stand by for my wife and I when craving good Cuban food. I really like the grouper, lightly breaded and fried to perfection. But every dish I've eaten here has been spot on!",
"I have been to Ruben's numerous times, and for me, it's a great lunch stop. There are handpainted murals on the walls along with kitchy 60s memorobilia, and it works for them. Wait staff is always friendly, and it's usually the same group of folks every time. Cuban sandwiches are fine, but I would pass over them in favor of several other items that they do exceptionally well. 1. Their fried grouper is amazing. It's simple, but it's seasoned perfectly and comes out fresh and piping hot every time. 2. Massitas Fritas, which is fried pieces of pork belly. The fat is essential to the flavor, so if you're a health nut, this is not for you. 3. Their roast pork sandwich is delicious, but I think it is best served hot with melted swiss or provelone on top and a side of mojo for dipping. As for sides, you can't go wrong with the Cuban trifecta: black beans, yellow rice, and plantains.",
"Amazing pressed cubans! And there's a $20 for $10 deal on DealChicken https://www.dealchicken.com/tampa-bay-fl/10070"

"As long as Carl's junior has the Western Bacon Cheeseburger or yummy onion rings, I will come here several times a year.\n\nThe Western Bacon Cheeseburger that I like is a meal in itself. The other day, before Krista E. and I went swimming at my pool, I stopped at Carl's to get one of these because she had eaten, I didn't want to get hungry. In the four hours we spent at the pool and in it, I never felt a hunger pang even once.\n\nFor $3.50 after tax, that's a fantastic value.\n\nI like other things about this Carl's as well. They have one of the more comfortable indoor seating areas and arrangements. I like that you can refill your soda from a handy dispenser whenever you like, and the employees seem to be a cut above most fast food employees, which indicates good hiring practices and that employees are treated better than at most fast food places.\n\nThe location is excellent being on the corner of one very busy street and one less busy street. When the urge for my beloved WBC strikes, I'll arrange my errands to take me by this location.\n\nFor a fast food burger, you can not beat Carl's quality and price.",
"On the one hand, I think Carl's Jr. does hamburgers and Mexican food better than their fast food rivals. On the other, the price is high enough you can get better food for roughly the same price at non-chain joints.\nTheir $6 burger is pretty good. But I'd rather spend $6.50 on a burger and fries at the Wolfs Den.\nI tried their green burrito and a nacho taco recently. The nacho taco was meh, but the green burrito was better than what you get at Taco Bell or Del Taco. But for the price I can think of a half dozen non-chain Mexican restaurants that do it better.",
"this place doesn't get the respect it deserves... next to In-n-Out it has the best fast food burgers in town. Charbroiled with heaping fresh iceberg lettuce... old California... drive thru again and again...",
"Good burgers and big portions. Their burgers are better than most fast food places.",
"The burgers are still good , but this time it was not very hot and the fries were almost cold! However the Jalapino Burger had enough peppers on it to taste them, Most only have a few. I also ordered the steak green burrito combo. It looked good , but it was dry on the inside and the tablespoon of steak that was in it was dry with a strange texture and bland flavor. I wondered how many times it had been reheated or sat on a warming line.",
"Ok, so I don't have unreasonable standards. And every time I step foot into a fast food restaurant, honestly, my expectations lower ever slightly. So the other evening, I went to this Carl's Jr for dinner, and chose to go inside instead of the drive thru. When I got inside, there was one person ahead of me in line. After a few minutes organizing everything behind the counter, the clerk took this customers order. She continued to organize things while waiting for his food to be finished. About 10 minutes later, she finally manages to take my order. I ordered the Memphis BBQ Burger, partly because the advertisement on the menu stated that you got a free chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich with purchase of any combo. I got a number and went to my seat to wait for my food. Approximately 15 minutes later, my food came out. The clerk was very polite and apologized for the food delay. Immediately, I noticed that there was no ice cream sandwich. So I asked this young lady, and she said that I needed to say something at the time of the order. Strange, because this sign never said \"Ask for your free shit\" or \"If you don't say anything in time, you get no free shit.\" So this was a little frustrating. Not much because I am not a huge sweets person and I probably would have taken a bite of it, or taken it home for my gf to enjoy next time she came over. More upsetting than the ice cream incident was the fact that my fries were cold. As an American who has eaten fast food from time to time throughout the last 28 years, I know very well that there is no way the french fries they served me were cooked during the 45 minute period I was in the restaurant. Again, I went to the clerk at the front counter, and she explained that those were fresh fries when they came out. I passionately explained that this was not possible whatsoever. Finally, the manager came out and asked me to leave because I was being too loud.",
"Saw a cook use the contents of a small order of hash brown nuggets to make a medium order. If they are cheating the customer in plain sight, who knows what else is going on.",
"Holy tergiversation batman, am I seriously giving Carl's Jr four stars? Have I lost my mind, my palate, my conscience? Has some ecdemic North Korean agent hacked my brain and left me an addlepated, mass-consuming, excrescence of corporate-cartel-klepto-bureaucratic America? Well, um perhaps. You see Carl's Jr has come out with a rather shocking, startling, odd, antithetical concept, a healthy, all natural, grass-fed, steroid-free, free-range Australian burger patty at $4.99 for a single and $6.99 for a double, thereby giving away the real price of the patty at $2.00. So I was conflicted. This is like the Nazi's coming out with a health camp for Communists where instead of killing them, they make them do calisthenics and read about Buddhism and meditate and debate each other freely and think critically about epistemological neologistic paradigmatic exegetical heuristics. I don't know how far I can milk that metaphor, but you have to give me credit for trying. You notice I don't say Jew, because quite honestly, I don't want Jews telling me it's an inappropriately insensitive metaphor. I'd rather Communists tell me. \n\nCan you really applaud a chain that otherwise abuses animals and customers? I'm making a statement here, and it may not be entirely sincere, but the point is, well, are these reviews really all about sincere criticism or a bunch of entitled conscientiously gourmandizing Millennials b tching about the most negligible trivia just to get back at their parents who substituted consumerism for affection. Hence, consumerism is like how I show you how much I love you, but if you don't get love at a restaurant, you must one star them. Anyhow, Carl's Jr deserves something for admitting to the world that there is actually something called an unnatural burger and that's just about every other burger on its menu and the menu of every other fast food chain in the universe. But how did it taste? Honestly, it could have tasted like a wet toilet paper roll and I would have been happy. It didn't taste actually great or bad. It was a thin, flat, irregularly shaped patty which meant that it was making at least an attempt not to look like a conformist stamped circle from a mould and perhaps suffered a hint of imperfect human handling. Nonetheless it was flat like Wile E Coyote after the bulldozer driven by a demented bird. Perhaps Wile E Coyote is a metaphor for humanity, but let's not go there. I was actually more impressed by the bun, actually a tasty lightly toasted product with the slightest hint of fermenting yeast. You may consider this a rather euphuistic aberration of a review, but if you like to insult yourself with the captious screed other reivewers pass off for information, I can understand your confusion.",
"Worst customer service ever at this one. Gives it a bad name. Always rude and the food is always wrong and no one speaks english. I always avoid going to this one even though I love Carl's Jr.",
"This location is hit or miss. \n\nIt is by a dental office I work at often, and because it's close I frequent it often. What I've learned is if the drive through is full, you might as well go somewhere else. Even if you go inside you will stand there for a long time before someone will help you. \n\nOnce They take your order, it's always a long wait to recieve your food. The food has always been good. \n\nOne time they totally forgot to bring me my order at all. I had to go up to the counter with my receipt for them to make it."

"My tummy usually won't take Mexican food, or so I thought. Actually my stomach won't take American Mexican food, and is fine with more authentic Mexican. Therefore, I am pleased to say that I love El Maguey! This flashy little place is not the typical, over spicy stuff we've been led to believe is Mexican food. According to my quarter Hispanic fiance, El Maguey's cuisine, while not bland, is much more authentic to real Mexican food. The people here are extremely friendly, and there is just a fun vibe. The place is decorated in bright colors, with the walls covered in colorful plaster. \n\nThe food is delicious and oh so cheap, you really can't go wrong here! This is a restaurant that does Everything right. You must check them out!",
"I lived near Mexico for 20 years and have been there on a few occasions. El Maguey is nowhere near authentic and is very plain and tasteless. You get better tacos from a seasoning packet and beef at the grocery store. You'd be much better off down the street at Senor Pique's!",
"El Maguey moved just down the street to a larger location and in the process, pissed me off. \n\nI have eaten at a few different EM locations over the years and while not the best mexican food in town I know what to expect. One of my favorite things on the menu was always their hot salsa, not the regular mild red stuff that you get as soon as you sit down, but a awesomely fresh blend of various peppers without the tomatoes. I love this stuff so much I have been known to order just the chips and hot salsa to pick up on the way home from work. \n\nMy visit this weekend started out ok, the standard tomato based salsa was better than normal and the food seemed on par with the old location but when I asked for my beloved hot salsa, I get a bowl of salsa verde. I tell the waiter no, I was looking for the hot salsa, you know the good stuff? At which point he explains to me they don't make it anymore because it was \"too hot\" for people. Too hot??? what kind of bullshit logic is that? How can it be too hot if you don't even get it unless it you ask for it by name and I'm pretty sure the fucking name gives it away. Here is a little advice, if you find yourself ordering something called hot salsa and you find it too hot, tough shit, deal with it.. \n\nThanks for pissing me off EM, I guess I will just have to stick to Vallarta where I can get my fix of hot salsa.",
"Waited over an hour - they were prepping our table, but a waiter gave it away to his friends that walked up. We left and will never return",
"I'm not sure I've ever been to a \"fantastic\" Mexican restaurant. \n\nMost all that I've dined at have always been average. Typically, the food arrives to the table and appears as if a sheet of cling wrap was pulled off the pre-prepared plate shortly after it was taken out of a microwave.......(ever wonder why the plates are always so hot?). \n\nIn either case, I went to El Maguey over the weekend. Have to say, this place was pretty good. It has a nice outdoor seating area. Plus, the service seemed to be on the ball. The food was good and you have to love the tortillas and salsa they bring to the table while you wait. Overall, above average. I left pretty pleased!\n\nIf you're looking for Mexican food, this place is ok. Despite the strip mall feel, you'll enjoy the meal.",
"This place has among the worst mexican food I have ever had. The chips were cold, the salsa warm. I ordered a Fajita (for $13.95) and did not recieve any cheese, not enough sour cream and no pico de gallo (all essential items for a fajita IMO) when I asked for these Items, they wanted to charge me for each item. \n\nOn the bright side, the service was good and the restaurant was bright and clean.",
"El Maguey is good for one dish...Quesadilla Fajita with Chicken. \nMake no bones about it...they may have some good stuff for much more money...but believe me you wanna stick with this.",
"Once you get pass the gaudy interior (and do I ever mean gaudy!!) the place isn't too bad. You get this nice basket of chips and some salsa once you order, but the salsa is a bit too tame for our tastes. We had this appetizer (forget name) that was basically melted cheese sauce with bits of meat in it. Nummy. We ordered the fajitas with beef and chicken and proceeded to create our way into a nice bit of lunch. \n\nI am no fan of frijoles so can't really comment on the \"bean paste\" which is what it looks like to me. The rice is good though. It is just another Mex chain - nothing outstanding, but a good bite to enjoy. And you can often find coupons for them.",
"Before moving out west, we really enjoyed this place (the old location), however after coming back to St. Louis I was disappointed. Yes, I know that comparing Mexican when you live close to Mexico to a Midwestern local chain is like comparing apples to oranges, however it goes beyond that. It's not about what they offer, its how its offered... quality wise. I ordered their carne asada burrito which was 9.00 (a little pricey for low grade mexican if you ask me) and the carne asada was very bland and fatty. IMO I make better carne at home letting it sit a day or two in lime juice and spices. \n\nMy wife got the chicken quesadilla which was meh, and she stopped eating after she found a bone or something in the dish. Not to mention she asked the server if she could have salsa, and they brought out something along the lines of hot marinara sauce (we were puzzled).\n\nThe salsa is still good (stale chips), but the food is about 2-3.00 per dish over priced for the quality you are getting. I guess they need to make money on their new building somehow. \n\nThey did a nice job of decorating the place, and would probably be a good time if you went for drinks and some aps, but keep your expectations low. \n\nNot sure I will be back. :(",
"Didn't have the food, but the FROZEN original margarita during happy hour is SOOOOOOO worth it!\n\nThis location was not overly crowded, however the weather is also a bit brisk to enjoy patio seating.\n\nSorry for the short review but I just had to share!"

"BEST PIZZA IN SOUTH JERZ !!! my fam from nyc and this is the only pizza they like in jersey , but its not just the pizza and cheese steaks , everything on the menu is delicious , so it is really a well rounded restaurant not just a quick food spot . Every body is very friendly , great customer service , has family owned feeling to it . very quaint on the inside, not like a tacky pizza joint look , its date approved . Really a hidden gem in the middle of Woodbury . Also the fastest delivery in the area . So next time you order out just go for Gia Nina's .",
"What took me so long! I live only a few miles from this place. I have ordered pizza and sandwiches as take out from here before which were excellent but didn't know Gia Ninas also has a very cozy little sit down restaurant attached! The service was 5 stars plus! The manager came around several times to chat and check on us and even bought us an order of stuffed long hots that tasted like they were right out of South Philly! The menu is small and simple but they have 5 or 6 daily specials including Ahi tuna. I had eggplant parm that had ricotta cheese sandwiched between the soft and gooey layers of eggplant. The sauce or gravy (let's not get into THAT argument, now) is perfect. Best I've had at a restaurant. The portions are huge but hey, take it home... that's tomorrow's breakfast! The place was packed on a Friday night so call ahead. The atmosphere was cozy, romantic, and beautifully decorated! There was a guitar player who came and sang an Italian wedding song for our table. It is BYOB so stock up because it is the perfect place for couples or friends to sit and eat great food, listen to the music, and drink lots of wine! Wednesday and Thursday nights, Gia Ninas features an accordion player. Great prices and the BEST hot garlic rolls while you wait. I agree it is a hidden gem in Woodbury.",
"Absolutely the best pizza in South Jersey (my personal favorite is cheese with roasted red peppers)! I loved the place when it was a small little hole in the wall, and I love it still now that they've expanded and have a more formal \"restaurant\" feel -- Wonderful food, great service, friendly people! Highly recommend!",
"Gia Nina's is by far the best Italian restaurant in the area.\n\nThe eggplant parm is so good that I've gotten it two of the three times we have ordered from here. The eggplant cutlets sandwich a layer of seasoned ricotta and are covered with sauce and mozzarella. The accompanying pasta always al dente, which I find impressive and unique for a delivery dish.\n\nTheir pizza is fantastic, balancing the right amount of toppings with a delicious crust.\n\nTonight we tried a couple of their sandwiches. I couldn't test my husband's tuna hoagie because it was made with carrots in the tuna salad (food allergy), but he reported that while it fell short of being the best tuna hoagie he's ever had, it was certainly tasty and probably the most interesting. I ordered the roasted pork sandwich with sharp provi and broccoli rabe. Just like the pizza, the toppings were just the right ratio to the meat, and the meat was juicy and flavorful. Both were served on homemade rolls.\n\nThere is only one problem with Gia Nina's: we can't manage to narrow down our choices on the menu because everything has been so good!",
"Absolutely wonderful food!!! Well run establishment with great service.\nPrices are reasonable. BYOB!!!!!!!",
"We visited Gia Nina's because of Yelp ratings and really enjoyed our dinner. I had the tilapia and is was light and scrumptious served over a huge pile of pasta that was cooked perfectly. \n\nMy husband ordered the pizza and was equally pleased. Service was good, not excellent but good. \n\nOur only real complaint would be the parking, it is on the street and there isn't much.",
"I keep trying to be impressed by Gia Nina's because of their reputation, but it just doesn't happen for me. Our last try was a carry-out pizza with everything. It was good, but not great. We'll probably go there again when we get bored with the limited offerings in the Woodbury area, but it's just not a first choice.",
"Gia Nina's has something for everyone here... The pizza is about as good as you'll get... They have sandwiches also... But their dinners are what will bring you back if you're dining in.. It's a byob, and they added a live entertainer on the weekend nights that plays old Italian songs... The last evening that I was there, there was a dude there playing an accordian and singing.. lol.. yes, I said an accordian... I was entertained.. It kind of reminded me of a Mexican restaurant in Wilmington where a trio comes around with guitars playing and singing...",
"We went to Gia Nina's on a visit to the east coast. It was great. My kids loved the food and the music.",
"Best pizza I can find that delivers to Deptford and they make their own dough for their crust, rolls and strombolis. MMMM steak stromboli is sooo good here."

"Simple meals in a garden center. Who knew? They've been open for 9 months. They strive to use local ingredients. We had salmon, chicken, and steak. All were excellent tasting and healthy. Desserts were not fancy but delicious. The basic nature of the food and the green house effect of the decor make this a unique spot. I live about a mile away so that is a huge plus.",
"Had the shrimp special. Curried and coconutty. Really small portions. Very expensive for what you get. Leaves plenty of room for dessert. \n\nI found out where the 8th Street Wine Company target market is water holing up. Right here at another resto with a street in its name!\n\nI think they have brunch which would be good to check out.",
"One-star reviews warrant one star, for me, because of two things: food and service. Always. Except this once.\n\nTruthfully, I didn't even get to give the menu a complete scan before I was so turned off by what the waitress said that I left the restaurant with my mom and kid in tow. And it was a one-page menu, so it didn't take long for me to get so annoyed so as to walk out.\n\nI don't know of any restaurants out there that don't serve diet soda. None. And I am not picky; I will drink any diet soda. I just have to have it for meals when I dine out. I don't drink alcohol (not because of beliefs, but because I am a puss and can't stand the taste) and like a fizzy, corn syrupy drink to wash down my meal with.\n\nAnd, 36th Street Bistro has Diet Pepsi on their menu. So when I was told they were \"phasing diet soda out,\" and would I like to order something else like regular soda or an Italian soda, I was so moved by this comment that my brain actually froze (probably from all that bad soda). She didn't tell me they didn't have it; just that they wouldn't serve it to me.\n\nI should have began this review with my past experience at 36th Street Nursery. I like it, it's a little stuffy, but not as stuffy as Greenhurst Nursery, so I was looking forward to giving their restaurant a whirl.\n\nBack to my conversation with the waitress. I said, \"You've got to be kidding me.\" Why?\" She never came clean or offered me a reason. She did, however, add that they were actually trying to phase out their regular soda all together (Pepsi/Diet Pepsi). Not the Italian soda -- I would have been permitted to have one of those.\n\nDid I mention it was on their menu? Yeah, by \"Beverages.\" \n\nI am not sure what their reasoning behind not wanting to serve soda is, besides they figure they will be doing human kind a big solid by not aiding in the fermentation of our insides. But that is a judgement I care to make for myself. I don't appreciate the false advertisement either.\n\nI just get yucked out when people are out there making my adult choices for me. So I made my choice and left. I also decided I wouldn't be shopping in the nursery anymore either. They serve bacon and cream cheese, but not soda? Come on. That is where they draw the line, at soda?",
"Overpriced, small portions (though not unappetizing). Very sweet, if inexperienced waitress and a rude, unapologetic manager (I'm guessing manager?). Creme brulee was curdled and off-tasting, but the manager said \"that's the way we make it\" and did not even offer something else or to remove it from the bill. I will not return.",
"The Bistro Beef Tenderloin entree, though small and inexpensive (just $12), is delicious and worth the visit. If you are hungry, order two! You will not get a better steak dinner anywhere for even the price of both. On a nice day, the patio dining is hard to beat. I have always had friendly, attentive servers there.",
"I LOVE 36th Street Bistro.............The ambiance is superb, the service was great, had the bleu cheese burger, genius, and well worth the price. The nursery and gift shop are also very fun to go through. I will definately frequent this Bistro often.",
"I loved the airy open ambiance, and the service was okay, nothing great. I have had two lunches there, and both times the food was mediocre. I had the salmon salad last time, and the salmon was fishy tasting and not special at all. The salad barely had any dressing on it and was dry. Really a disappointment for $10. I would like to go back when the weather improves and try the patio dining. Maybe I'll find something on the menu that is a little better.",
"Great atmosphere, fresh ingredients, and good service. The burger I had was really tasty, it was just small. I was expecting at least 1/4 pound, but that's alright. They also to my cheese order wrong, but that's only worth 1 star :). Keep it up guys, I'll come by there again.",
"This is a breakfast review.\n\nI have been to The 36th Street Bistro twice now, once with my wife and once in a large group of ten.\n\nI am a huge fan of the food, the breakfast enchiladas are extremely tasty and the chorizo and eggs are quite delicious as well! The service has been very good both times. The coffee is good as well as their mochas and you can burn off your calories by walking around the large garden and houseware shop attached to the Bistro. 4 out of 5 stars only for small menu selection.",
"I just recently moved to Boise and feel pretty lucky to have this restaurant so close to me. I went on a Friday evening and had a really great meal. I had the venison (nightly special) with sweet potato medallions and sautéed spinach. I don't have venison that much but found it absolutely delicious. The service was prompt and friendly and the whole complex has a great feel to it. There was a live guitarist playing during dinner which added to the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who appreciates a great meal. I though the pricing was spot on for the quality of food that was served. Well done!"

"the following review contains 0% exaggeration:\r\n\r\ni once waited 40 minutes for a cup of coffee. this place sucks. the decor is frigid and weird, they have weird things going on (they try to sell you all kinds of stuff like used cd's), they are obviously really self-important because everything has a really special \"grooveground\" label on it.... i just plain hate this place. and their service is so slow it's funny. they only have one person working at a time and this poor sucker has to make all this crazy stuff by himself. i've been there about 3 times and left pissed-off in each instance. their menu is ridiculous (really expensive desserts, mocktails, souffles) and everything is overpriced. also, they do not have soymilk (i believe it's on the menu, but they don't have any). i am never going to grooveground again even though it's within 4 blocks of my home.",
"I too have walked in to find NO ONE around; not even staff. It's an alternative to Christian open mic night at a nearby coffee house (sorry, that's not my scene), but not a place I'd make a point to visit. The prices were a bit high, if I recall. If I'm taking the speedline and want coffee on the way, I'll go to WaWa across the street. I've only actually ordered there once. They don't always follow their posted hours, so I've missed out on other visits.",
"Wow~ I don't know what some of the posters from '06 are talking about, but it's definitely not the same place I've been hitting up...\n\nI love coffee, but Grooveground's is a bit strong and takes some getting used to~ they will happily throw a shot of hot water in there if you ask though... I've since worked up a tolerance and take my fix strong the way they serve it!\n\nThe people who work here are so friendly; many of them remember what you drink and most are always willing to chat about whatever random bullshit you talk about before you get your first cup of the day. \n\nI've never gotten food here, but they have a nice variety for such a tiny place. Also, there are only one or two people working at one time, but it's not normally crowded enough to warrant more. This is a neighborhood joint~ if you don't like it, there are at least 3 other options for coffee within two blocks!",
"First time I've been in Collingswood, and I was hunting around for some breakfast and free wifi, when I happened across this place. When I walked in, it sort of jarring...pretty nice, understated modern decor with comfy couches. If this place was in NY, I would expect a certain type of crowd, probably yuppieish and/or hipsterish people. But instead, the people here were more mixed age-wise, or actually a lot older, like NJ suburban parents. Sort of jarring. \nBut anyway, my omelette souffle was presented really well and tasted pretty yummy. The free wifi was nice and the coffee (as reviewed by my friend who is a coffee addict) was good. The staff here were also friendly and gave us a good recommendation for brunch. \nGood place if you're in the area.",
"I started visiting here pretty regularly since I moved to my new apt. The place is pretty spacious and has some nice decorations and wood floors. They have a combination of couches, single lounge chairs and tables with chairs for seating. The coffeestore has art work sold by a local DJ/musician/artist, T shirts, doo-dads and handmade notebooks. Not to mention they carry used and new CD's and DVD's, though their prices are a little steep on the used and for that matter the new CD's.\n\nOK, now for the coffee/drinks. I've had cafe americano and cafe mocha. Both are excellent and strong, just the way I like it. Non-caffeinated drinks that I've imbibed here include a nice hot apple cider and hot chocolate. Both were very tasty.\n\nThe baked goods here are marvelous. Ginger bites. Yum. Chocolate chip brownies, very very tasty and moist without being cake soft. Blueberry muffins were chock full o' blueberrys and moist. And my friend who had a blueberry scone said it was excellent as well.\n\nI've eaten here once for an early dinner. I got a picante sandwich and the vegetarian chili. The vegetarian chili was soupier than I expected, but tasty nonetheless. It was a tad pricy, but then again, it was a big ass bowl that came with bread as well. The picante sandwich had a nice tender grilled chicken breast topped with salsa, jack cheese and sour cream if I'm remembering right on panini type bread. It was pretty good, though if you were really hungry it wouldn't fill you up(hence the chili). The sandwich also came with chips and pasta salad, which was in a small ketchup type container/cup.\n\nThe atmosphere is pretty good here. You get teenagers, 20 somethings, 30 somethings and 40+ somethings here. They play pretty good music, though I have noticed that Bjork and the Beatles tend to get a lot of play.\n\nThe counter people are very friendly and make good drinks. I can't say they are fast, but they aren't usually butt ass slow either. The one thing I will say is that sometimes they disappear behind the curtain/doorway and they don't pop out for a while, which gets irritating if you stop in when they are in the back. \n\nThe Wi-Fi is pretty speedy when it works. They've had problems twice in the past week or so. I found out that they use Verizon DSL, which is the crappiest \"broadband\" service next to dialup. But that's not Groovegrounds fault, rather its poor execution by a corporate monopoly.\n\nAll in all I like this place. I have met a nice cross section of Collingswood in a little over a week of going here. I\"ll be back for my drug of choice.",
"I was dropping off a friend's car and really needed some caffine. The shop itself was fine -it was a little on the \"let's be hip\" side of coffee shops- but the service could barely have been worse. I brought my own cup (I'm an environmentalist, why wouldn't I bring my own cup) and this seemed to insult the woman who was at the counter. She was glaring at me the whole way up to the counter. \n\nBecause she was glaring I started to explain that I didn't need a discount (which many shops give for bringing a cup) because the cup was not from there, but she interrupted me when I began with \"I know this cup isn't from here...\" by barking \"Yes, I know\". Confused at how this was so offensive, I finished my thought with \"...so I don't mind paying full price.\" Maintaining the same pissy attitude she took my money, filled the cup and gave me my change. \n\nThe coffee was fine, but I thought her attitude was pretty ridiculous.",
"Where else can you see your local Freeholder singing along to Elton John as he sips his morning cup of Joe? I stop by a couple of times a week, both on weekdays and weekends, and while it's never hugely busy, there's always one or two folks hanging out, reading or chatting. \n\nMy kids love their scones. The coffee is good, service is usually quite pleasant, and music is eclectic.",
"Grooveground has really good coffee at an affordable price. I enjoy the atmosphere because unlike coffee shops such as Starbucks, Grooveground offers a much more relaxed environment where i can sit and do my homework or enjoy a book. I visit the shop several times a week to do just that. \n\nUnlike other reviewers i do not have a problem with the staff. i often have custom requests and have never had a problem.\n\nOne unique aspect i like about Grooveground is the live music. While it's not always my style i appreciate the fact that the shop is supporting local music.",
"The interior is cool and they have nice outdoor seating, but the coffee tastes like dirt... I mean... DIRT. \n\nNow, if you could bring in coffee from another down the street and enjoy the live music and great people watching, this place would be this bee's knees. I doubt the hipster staff would go for it.\n\n\"Beat it with that non-Grooveground coffee dude!\"",
"To me, this is another disappointing South Jersey coffee shop. You know those restaurants in NYC that sell like pizza, chinese food, hamburgers, and tacos all at the same place? It's just too much and it's never good. This is how I feel about grooveground. Besides the standard cafe fare of coffee, baked goods, bagels, etc., they:\n\n- have appetizers like quesadillas and spring rolls.\n- have fondu\n- cater\n- sell movies\n- sell music\n- sell apparel\n- sell coffee/tea equipment.\n\nI'm probably missing some things, but there's just too much going on. This is probably why the coffee is only mediocre.\n\nAnother weird thing is that often the baristas disappear into the back, making customers wait a few minutes for them to return. However, all of the workers are extremely nice."

"Charrann's doesn't look like much from the outside and even less from the inside (Think sports bar trapped in the 80's).\n\nHere's the good part; They got the best steak and cheese sub in Tampa! Good sides include: potato tarts, steak fries, and nachos.\n\nFYI- Although it's a bar, they only have beer & wine.",
"A very nonassuming exterior, & simple interior. Lots of flat-screen TVs showing whatever sports are airing at the moment. The bartenders are always ready to talk about the Bucs or the Rays.\n\nCheesesteak sandwiches are just scrumptious. You can choose from a variety of spiciness levels; my favorite is the medium. They're not huge, though; I'm not a big eater & I can put away one of those with room for an appetizer, which is uncommon -- but welcome! The fried mushrooms are delicious!",
"I was brought here by a friend who insisted he'd had a great cheese steak here a few years ago. Mind you, I wasn't exactly brought here kicking and screaming, but I was a little put off when we walked in.\n\nThis is a dive. An ultimate dive. The clientele appear to be the kind that appreciate Nascar, which was appropriate since that was the choice channel on the TVs that day.\n\nWe slid into our slightly scummy booth, picked up our slightly filmy menus, decided on cheese steaks, and waited. And waited. \n\nFinally, our waitress, Debbie Downer, appeared with a snarl on her face and a trip in her step. She had the attitude of a woman who'd just been badly scorned and had potentially burned her boyfriend's house to the ground. Over the course of the meal, she threw napkins at us, slid a plate across the table at me when my friend announced she'd placed my sandwich in front of him, and disappeared for long segments of time. I guess the only good thing we can say about Debbie is she didn't poison us, though we were scared enough of her that we literally ran away from the building after unanimously deciding not to tip her.\n\nThe cheese steaks were a waste. Tiny, overpriced, very little steak and mostly bread. What little steak presented to us was tough and Taco Bell-like in quality. When I gave my friend who dragged us here the stink eye, he insisted, \"No, I swear, this place USED to be good.\"\n\nCharrans: They used to be good. They are no longer good.",
"Charann's is a Tampa classic that used to be located on the Causeway. Come here for the Tampa Cheesesteak Sandwich. What's a Tampa Cheesesteak you ask? Fresh hoagie roll, thinly sliced sirloin, american/swiss, carmalized onions, tomatoes, seasoning and your choice of hot peppers! I go with the Devil which is essentially an OMG with the addition of Habanero peppers. \n\nHaven't been here for a while, but everyone loves the Cheesesteak.",
"Local treasure... used to be located on the Courtney Campbell causeway and moved to a location on Hillsborough not far from the airport... we stop in a few times per year... the sandwiches are pretty stellar... \n\nit is a dive... so on the far end of the curve from Charley's - but a great place for cheap food and a cold beer.. one of the best steak sandwiches ever and smokin hot",
"I love you Charanns! Your Steak sandwiches can never be beat! I go here whenever I am in Tampa- in fact any trip over there is a required Charann's steak sandwhich trip and usually involves having to bring back some for the family.",
"Best steak sandwiches and boiled peanuts.\n\nI've gotten to the point of \"Oh my God\" spicy-ness but I'd recommend just \"Hot\" for those who can take the heat and want to enjoy there sandwiches. Very Hot will have you sweating bullet with a slow burn",
"Great cheesesteak subs - love the buns. And the french fries are awesome, too. It is not fancy, but I go for the cheesesteak subs - not for the atmosphere!",
"This is the best cheesesteak in the Tampa Bay Area if you like just a little (or a lot) of heat with your steak.\n\nThis is basically a dive bar in a kind of questionable neighborhood. There are lots of TVs, and its not a bad place to watch a Bucs game.\n\nBut -- go for the cheesesteaks. I suggest ordering at least \"medium\" hot -- although I like \"hot.\" Love the steak, the peppers, the cheese, and the buns.\n\nThe steakfries and tater tots are not bad either.\n\nI love this place for the food -- you gotta try it. A very well kept secret!",
"I swear I've been having \"mediocre restaurant week\". Everywhere i've been lately has been \"meh\". Including this place. Charran's in a nutshell- decent service by fairly friendly if not bored waitresses. Decent food. Could be better but it seemed like everything was just a little off. \n\nThe chili on the chili cheese fries was... interesting. It had heaps and heaps of black pepper in it. I happen to like black pepper, but a few people at our table declared it to be overwhelming. I'd say it was certainly on the verge of overwhelming, but not bad. Their fries and tater tots (where can you even FIND tater tots anymore?!) are super yum. Potato skins are very good also. \n\nI want to throat punch everyone that says Charran's has the best Philly. LIARS! It was a good Philly, but definitely light on the meat and they use pickled peppers instead of sautéed. What the fuck? I bit into it and got this weird tangy flavor and I was like oh hell no. These lazy bastards gave me peppers out of a jar. HOW HARD IS IT TO SAUTÉ PEPPERS?!? Needless to say I picked all those nasty ass pickled peppers out if my sandwich. \n\n*sigh* Pickled peppers in a Philly. I call bullshit. \n\nI'd give Charran's 2 1/2 stars. I'm rounding up because they're local and they have tater tots."

"Cool concept great new twist on the whole taco thang. lovely patio and outside area. very small inside with the flow of the line not right yet something needs to be addressed with the drink machine computer where you ring up bar area. Prices seem little high $3 tacos average in town now they're pushing$5 or $6 on most ! we'll see how that plays out for them",
"Pretty disappointed with the cost/food ratio. It was $5 for a single taco and it was quite small. I paid nearly $11 for about 6 bites of food. I would have happily paid the same price for 4 tacos (comparable to a slider vs regular sized burger). I felt obligated to give it at least 3 stars bc the food was pretty damn good despite a lack thereof but now time has elapsed and I'm still hungry and out $11. I'd only go back if the prices were lowered.",
"I was definitely really excited to try out the new taco place in town. Kirkwood just doesn't have as many good, non-chain options to get food other than your typical burger/pub type of joint. Located right in the heart of town, it was definitely a different vibe than I expected. The first thing- loud pumping music outside. Loud enough that you couldn't really talk to the person you were with. I guess they were not kidding with the \"Club\" part of \"Club Taco.\n\nYou order the tacos up at the counter and then they bring them out to you. I think they are still figuring out logistics but the staff there were attentive. A nice touch was that they offered to bring us some hot sauce and did, which we liked. The folks were all very friendly and answered my wife's questions. \n\nThey had several unique taco options that we tried. Yes they are pricier, but these aren't typical tacos. And in fact if you wanted cheaper ones like a traditional chicken/steak tinga taco, they had those for $3. The chicken tinga, while simple, ended up being one of my favorites; had a ton of flavor and the chicken was moist. But yes, other options are more expensive between $4-6/taco. When you order a korean style taco with kimchi on it or a shrimp one with fried avocado, those ingredients are more expensive. Roll with it. If you don't want to pay that, go to Taco Bell.\n\nOverall the tacos were good, nice to see some unique flavors. The Korean style one was a bit of a miss for me compared to other Korean places in the area. They had a veggie one with portabellas that we thought was very good and would get again. The pork belly taco was excellent. I'm excited to try some of the other ones out in a future visit like the Carnitas. I also recommend trying the corn casserole side, grilled sweet corn with queso. Yum.\n\nA cool feature about this place? The walk up window to get beers or cocktails. That's kind of neat. But... just a little out of place? The music was just too loud. The party guy part of of me really likes this place and would do this on a weekend with some drinks and friends. The part of me that wants to bring my wife and kid for a more relaxing chill weekday evening says, maybe not so much. Kudos to these folks for trying out a new concept; I look forward to seeing how it goes and will be back.",
"When I first heard this place was offering \"gourmet tacos\", I thought it was destined to fail. Now, after going twice in their first week in business, I want to be involved if they ever franchise\nWhile they do offer traditional tacos, the menu is full of highly unique approaches to the taco. I'm gonna try them all. Two favorites so far are the Korean style short ribs and the Ahi Tuna. Both have catchy names on the menu but you can find them. Oh, and you simply MUST have the Roasted Corn Casserole as a side. Never had anything like it. Indescribably delicious",
"Highly disappointing! \nThis place is bringing the 'Club' to tacos in the heart of Kirkwood. Instead of paying a cover for the price of admission they built it into the price if their $6 tacos. Yet with these inflated prices there were no offers of glow-sticks or Ecstasy to numb your senses to the mediocre food. While they do price a number of their tacos in the $3 range I found only the chicken tinga to be worthy of a repeat. \n\nI have eaten street corn @ other places but found this version to be burnt, not charred, with some sort of creamy mayo style dressing that made me want to puke. \n\nWhile I won't be returning, I'm sure this place will find a modicum of success due to the location & lack of real alternatives in the immediate vicinity.\n\nShould I be drug back to this location I will be clubbing as well...mostly to break the excessive amount of speakers through out this establishment. Shame the pacifist in me is sworn to non-violent retaliation such as this review.",
"Fresh, tasty, fast, friendly. Upbeat atmosphere. I read a few reviews that had me less than excited about trying this place. We were pleasantly surprised. The steak taco was my fav but the Tinga chicken was good as well. Street corn was as good as any I've had.",
"This place could easily step it up by having chips, salsa, guac, and queso. Had the shrimp and tuna tacos. Good not great. Went for lunch so I did not try any drinks. Will probably give it one more chance to try another taco or two and their marg.",
"Love this place! Didn't think much of it when I heard upscale taco but after the first trip I couldn't stop thinking about it. I have been there three times in one week. I have tried three different tacos and enjoyed them all. My favorite side is the corn...delicious! These tacos are different with fresh, quality ingredients. A pleasant surprise!!",
"This place is just down the road from where I live and I was so excited to see that it was open today when my boyfriend and I were looking for a place for lunch. The tacos we had were great... the cocktails we had were great.... But there is NO CHIPS and SALSA on the menu for order and no Guacamole.... I left still being hungry... so my boyfriend and I drove down to chipotle and got me some salsa chips and guac just to munch on while we watched TV... \n\nI feel like this would be a great place to sit on the patio and have there amazing cocktails.. eat... and hang out for a while... But i truly need the extra munch on the menu. \n\nAlso.. Im sure its just because they just opened recently but there were like 5 boys just running around the restaurant trying to pick up dishes and bring out food... It seemed very chaotic..",
"We were excited to have a gourmet taco joint come to the neighbor. While the tacos were tasty and fresh, their prices were outrageous! We ordered a variety of six tacos, a side order of tator tots, 1 draft beer and a sangria. Our bill with tip was $50+. We were left feeling unsatisfied. Not to mention sweaty, since they had no A/C and it was over 90 degrees outside. We went next door to the Kirkwood brewery to get cool and have more refreshing drinks."

"This place is brand new and I hope they do well. The staff was very friendly. The beans were very good, but the rice was too dry. Their salsa bar has a nice selection. The salsa verde with the cilantro and onion is delicious! They give you free chips which tasted fresh. And you get a free cookie of your choice.",
"Awesome Mexican food. Friendly stuff and quick service. I really liked the machate and my wife loved her Mexican plate. Great new place in Tucson, I truly recommend for everybody to try it out!",
"Great food! Some of the best Mexican food around! The salsa verde Percheron burrito was amazing!! The salsa bar is the best I have seen in Tucson! Highly recommend this place!!!",
"Great food and atmosphere!!!! Friendly service and clean!!! Highly recommend trying and supporting local business !!!!",
"The quesadilla (steak) was all fat and grisly\nThe refried beans were seasoned but had no flavor - a little salt would of helped \nAnd the quesadilla came out within in just a few minutes from ordering and it was cold - \nThe salsa bar did look good - but honestly way to high priced for what you get and the flavor - i was not impressed at all",
"Awesome Mexican food. Friendly stuff and quick service. I really liked the machate and my wife loved her Mexican plate. Great new place in Tucson, I truly recommend for everybody to try it out",
"I took my fam to this new spot. It was amazing! The chimi plate and pibil tacos were amazing. And to make it even better they have a great salsa bar with all kinds of salsas, all great. The service there was A++ quick and friendly loved it. Finally a good mexican restaurant in tucson. We will be back soon.",
"Best neighborhood place! Machetes are DELISH! Mole chicken plate! Gorditas de pork pibil! Working our way Down the menu and urging others to do the same! Very pleasant place and nice colorful decoration. Come on down! Breakfast bowls coming soon!",
"Great food! Big servings. Taste homemade. Restaurant is nice and clean. Hope they stay around for a while.",
"Excellent authentic Mexican food. Pricing is good. Full salsa bar with all the fixings. Great friendly service."

"So just stopped in to this place randomly after going to the zoo. The name tasty and Delicious is starting you with high expectations!... food was great! I had the baby burger and it was a solid fresh patties diner style burger. My daughter mostly just ate the fries but she crushed them. Overall really great place to stop in if you're next to the zoo. The manager at the counter was also super friendly and led us in the right direction in terms of what size order to get. Will stop in again if in the area!",
"This very unassuming location serves up a great burger and fries served with a smile. I'm intrigued anytime I see \"special sauce\" on the menu, and their burger \"special sauce\" is pretty dang good. I would highly recommend this place for anyone working in South Nashville wanting a good burger for lunch.",
"Great burger. It's 1 guy, not a team of short order line cooks. He does it all himself. It's really impressive. He has an excellent thing going. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does. Not only that, but he crafts a damn tasty burger, living up to the name. The prices are extremely affordable. I will be returning frequently. I'm excited to try the rest of the menu. I highly recommend stopping in for a bite. I think you can call ahead, too.",
"Burger was cooked to order and fantastic! The owner was very friendly and great to talk with. I'll definitely be going back.",
"Husband picked up lunch on his way home and I have to say the burger was AMAZING! As was the Drool-worthy baklava. The only disappointment was the less than fresh tasting fries so I'll probably stick to the burgers next time.",
"Had a 1/4 lb. mushroom and Swiss burger with fries. The burger and toppings were excellent, great flavors with the grilled onions, grilled mushrooms and tart pickle slices. The sauce complimented all the ingredients well. The burger was however a little messy but that did not take away from the great taste. \n\nThe fries were average.",
"Best burgers in town that has a smoke free environment. So many sesame seeds on the bun, you can barely see the top of the bun.",
"AMAZING! Medhat loves what he does and the food is absolutely amazing! Tastes good and fresh! Best burger I've ever had!",
"Man awesome food!! Got the BBQ burger and the Philly Cheese steak. The Philly was AMAZING and super cheesy!! The burger was even better and had even more cheese! Awesome food for an awesome price!",
"Fantastic food and even better service. Mushroom Swiss burger for my picky husband and the lamb gyro for me, both were great. We will definitely be coming back again soon (hubby says he may even try the lamb next time!)"

"I lived in Chicago for 8 years so pizza places are gonna always generate a lower review from me because I'm spoiled. This place has nice staff, good selection on the menu, and they allow for buying a slice only which is a plus. I tried a slice of their sausage and it reminded me of a street side pizza shop in NYC. Nice thin and crispy crust, sausage was tasty and a crumble style. Sauce wasn't as flavorful as I prefer, but not bad at all. \n\nTheir gooey butter cake is absolutely freaking amazing though...like quite possibly one of the most amazing things I've had in my mouth.\n\nIf I'd never been spoiled by Chicago pizza for a large portion of my life, this place would be a strong 4",
"This place is a must for any former St. Louisan! Tastes like home. Everything from the Toasted Ravs, to the Provel Cheese/thin crust, to the gooey butter cake were amazing. So excited to have St. Louis pizza again (also excited that I don't need to try to explain St. Louis pizza to people any longer, I can just send them to Jake's!). The staff and the owner were super friendly. I will definitely be back. BTW the cheese is shipped from the Lou so you know it's the real thing.",
"Jake's has a unique cheese taste that is wonderfully delicious on top of a mouth-watering, slightly crunchy crust. It earns status as our favorite pizza in Pinellas County!",
"If you're from St. Louis you've got to check this place out. Pizza like Imo's, Pasta House Salad, the STL Gold wings are like Sybergs, toasted ravioli, and gooey butter cake. Not anything low calorie going on but what great memories and great food. Very happy this place came to Palm Harbor!",
"First time we ordered: Love the pizza and the horribly sweet butter cake. Will order again! Great thin crust pizza!\n\nSecond:. Don't order salads. Gave them the benefit of the doubt the first time (Cobb), this time got cranberry almond. Came dressed! Soogy lettuce is gross. Ordered thin crust, got thick....side salad (again, don't order salad from here) didn't even come with dressing. So disappointed, will not order again Great thin crust pizza!",
"Ordered pizza for delivery to a group of golfers staying at Innisbrook. It came fast, hot, and delicious. Not easy to please ten golfers but they did.",
"OMG THIS HAS TI BE THE WORST PIZZA ON THE PLANET. First off I called in the order large thin crust pie $ 17. Got there it was $25 . Told I ordered a supreme and could wait another 25 min for correct pie. Also told I only ordered crust ? WTF. Got home pie was not even cut. WTF. Pie had some sort of white cheese sauce on it not mozzarella. Again WTF. \nTold me they would take 10% of the garbage worthy pie if I did not want to wait. My bad never again you have been warned.",
"Fun fact, there was an Imo's in Tampa on Dale Mabry back in the mid-90s, but only lasted for 6 months. St. Louis style pizza is an acquired taste, and because of this, it is highly regional. Unlike New York and Chicago style pies, which can be found in any respectable cities across the U.S., St. Louis pizza can generally only be found right in the heart of the country. \n\nI grew up on this stuff, and sometimes crave the rich, creamy provel cheese and crispy wafer-thin crust, so imagine my excitement when I found out about Jake's. \n\nI went in the other day and grabbed two mushroom and sausage pies, one regular and the other gluten free. They were both excellent representations of St. Louis style pizza, even the GF version. They take pride in their ingredients, and it's evidenced by the use of fresh ground sausage and fresh mushrooms, not canned crap. But what's more impressive is that they make their own gooey butter cake from scratch, and it is the gooeiest, butteriest I'd had in ages. \n\nMaybe one day they will add the Gerber sandwich.\n\nThey also have NY pizza for the folks with lesser taste buds. I imagine it's also a survival technique for the owners.",
"We ordered the ST Louis Experience, & split it among 3 people. Each got a bowl of a house salad (artichoke hearts were an ingredient). It includes 8 fried raviolis, a 16 inch St Louis pizza, and a St Louis Gooey Butter Cake. St Louis style pizza is different due to the cheese topping, it's a creamier blend of cheeses than on a \"normal\" pizza, a richer tasting cheese blend. It was good, but i think when I go back I will opt for the NY style pizzas. Staff was friendly, but seemed inexperienced, maybe this is a newish restaurant? I will likely go again. It is a small place, 8 or so, tables, located in a small strip plaza.\n\n Found this place through Groupon, they had a deal that rebates 30% of the purchase back to your Groupon linked credit card. The \"Experience\" menu price was just under $40 total for the 3 of us. We brought home about 1/4 of the pizza. and should have the rebate returned to my debit card within a couple of days.",
"So happy to have found a pizza place in Florida that serves St. Louis style. This pizza is the real deal. So, so yummy! Awesome flavors mix so well together. \nThe provel is amazing. \n\nI dropped off some gooey buttercake to my parents and they took one look at it and smiled. Just like home."

"Anxiously awaited for, Fujiyama has opened in Meridian. The sushi was spot on, only thing I wished is that they also used some sauces, especially creative ones. The freshness of the sushi was excellent and I saw some nice looking platters and a boat combo pass by. Some areas to improve but they show great potential.",
"Amazing!!! Have been to two other places here in Idaho; they were horrible! This place has superb quality fish and fun chefs. We will be back.",
"I love the Milwaukee location, so I was super excited to try out this new spot. My expectations were blown right out of the water. The interior is gorgeous, and the atmosphere is soothing. The sushi is top tier and we tried one of the new lunch specials, the Fuji A, and we fell in love. The staff is so friendly, and were very attentive. Perfect for lunch, date night, or whenever!",
"Took my daughter for her birthday dinner. We have been anxiously awaiting the opening of this new sushi place and were not disappointed. Great atmosphere and friendly service. We shared the Maki combo and the Spicy Maki combo. I chose the salad with ginger house dressing. My daughter got the miso soup. My salad was good, I enjoyed the dressing but was sad when I sampled my daughter's soup. It was amazing. Loved it. We were also given a complimentary bowl of edamame. I don't know if that's standard or just a special treat but it was a great surprise. If I had any complaint it would be that I like some sauce on my rolls. That said, I've been places that drown the sushi in sauce to mask bad sushi. Given that option I will take it without. We will definitely be coming back often. Please support great sushi in Meridian. We need it.",
"If you LOVE sushi this is the place for you. The waiters were very kind. Food was good, would come again. I quote my dad \" best sushi bar in Boise\". They have made this restaurant beautiful. Hope you come to this restaurant. They also have green tea ice cream and fried ice cream.",
"Salmon Skin Salad always a winner. The portion size at Meridian location was larger than Boise. They did a great job good job with redesign of inside. Fish was fresh and delicious. Good service. So happy to have them in Meridian.",
"Anxiously awaited for, Fujiyama has opened in Meridian. The sushi was spot on, only thing I wished is that they also used some sauces, especially creative ones. The freshness of the sushi was excellent and I saw some nice looking platters and a boat combo pass by. Five visits later, excellent!",
"This location has exceptional service. Friendly staff!\nGreat lunch special and good sushi.",
"I have been a long time fan of the location near Boise Town Square. This location is newly remodeled and so worth checking out. The sushi chefs are prompt but the best part is the portion of quality fish and presentation are hard to beat in town. I have been here 5 times in the last month...sashimi deluxe and notable spicy tuna rolls.",
"My sister and I stopped in to Fujiyama for the first time recently. She lives in the area and had always noticed the restaurant, but never taken the time to check it out. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the friendly staff, who seated us promptly. She had the salmon lunch special and I ordered the teriyaki chicken bento lunch, which came with two egg rolls, California roll, and rice. Both of our lunches also came with miso soup (DELICIOUS!) and a salad. I highly recommend the ginger dressing because it was fantastic and made my taste buds very happy. The hot tea was also steeped to perfection. Both of us though our meals were excellent.\nThe food was visually appealing, the portions large, and everything tasted amazing. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable. I live in California and have been to a number of great Japanese/sushi restaurants. I have to say that Fujiyama is right up there with them, if not better than many. \nI highly recommend Fujiyama. My sister has already put it on her list to return again soon and I look forward to my next Boise-area visit to do so as well."

"New place in town decided to give it a try with my friend. We only ordered appetizers, but we were disappointed. Nice atmosphere inside, however food is not that great, and it's pricy. C'mon 5 wings for $6. Maybe the pizza is better. Willing to give the pizza a try but was not impressed.",
"Waited over 15 minutes for 2 of the worst slices of pizza I have ever had. The crust was dry and cardboard-like and cheese was oily beyond belief. The only thing that made the slices somewhat edible was the sauce. And good thing, too, because all of the cheese came off on the first bite of both pieces. \n\nI was excited for this new place to open up but bummed that it was a total flop.",
"Just alright. Good quick bite to eat but need to work on getting their pizza up to par with other pizza joints in the area.",
"Crab cakes and ribs were awesome. Finally have a high quality pizza place in the area. Outdoor seating is great and the inside has multiple flat screen TVs to watch. Definitely excited to go back.",
"Ate here yesterday. We ordered honey BBQ wings, chicken quesadillas and plain pan pizza. Wings were great. Chicken quesadilla was pretty good. Much better than I was expecting since I ordered it at a pizza joint. This was our second time getting pizza from here. The first time we had NY crust, this time we had the pan, I prefer the pan. Both are good though. Nice layout inside and the staff were helpful. Before we got our food, the manager was nice enough to come over and offer to change the tv to the World Cup. Huge points for that. I'd eat here again. This area needs more decent places. Try it out.",
"Finally... a neighborhood place for a good salad!! So far, I picked up dinner on the way home from work 3 times this week. The crab cakes are delicious and the salads are fresh! Love the outdoor seating too.This is our new go to place!",
"Airy pleasant eatery with a staff only too eager to help and dedicated to make sure that you dine comfortably and finish satisfied. I had the thin crust pizza plain. After all if the pizza isn't good what's the point. Nice marinara sauce and the cheese did not float in a sea of grease. WiFi is a real plus. I would definitely recommend Season and will return.",
"Nice place tv s but pizza sucks and way too expensive and also hate that large pizza is 14\" instead 16 for 11 bucks also 5 wings cost me almost $7 i mean the place looks nice n clean and new but dont make me pay the price",
"The gem of this place aside from the great, fresh atmosphere is the crab cake. They are large, full of crab meat and delicious. One of the best I have had. What a pleasant surprise!",
"We usually get Franconi's pizza, but gave this new place a try. Never again! Their pizza is awful! Tasteless and overpriced. Their X-Large pizza is maybe a medium anywhere else. I've had better tasting pizza at a carnival. Stick with Franconi's or Ricardo's for pizza in the area."

"So we have noticed this new Donut Cafe located next to Tinuana Flats and decided to stop by and see if they have opened yet. They were closed, but to our surprise, the owners who were there working inside, saw us and invited us in. They have is half a dozen free donuts and two coffees to try. The owner also took me in the back to show me their kitchen. I am so impressed by their hospitality and generosity. Not only were their donuts delicious, but the vanilla flavored coffee was, probably the best I have ever tasted in my life, and I hate coffee...they get their beans from a long time business partner in Ft Lauderdale. I wish more mom & pop shops had this type of morale. Check out their menu and stop by, they open up on about a week. they have everything from cereal donuts, to chicken waffle sandwiches and grilled cheese made out of donuts. I can't WAIT to try their menu items, I think I am already addicted to their coffee/latte.",
"This place hasn't even opened yet (48 more hours) but already they are gaining some great reviews and yelp love! We walked by while shopping to check out what they were all about the the sweet owner unlocked the door and let us in offering us a warm fresh backed large glazed donut- let me tell you this definitely gives that \"other\" kremey donut place a run for their money! \n\nPlenty of seating and a cool side kitchen window view to watch all the baking and glazing happening - this place boasts an impressive menu. The most interesting item seems to be familiar to the state fair donut cheeseburger- but this one is unique with peanut butter - one of the workers there insisted it will knock your socks off- can't wait! They also have a variety of deli sandwiches, hot dogs (including a chicago dog) and plenty of options for finicky little ones too. Lots of new places in this publix plaza but this one is absolutely sure to be a hit!",
"Happy National Donut day!!!! Well at least the day I visited So Nuts! Donuts and deli. First off, I'm happy to see a unique product to visit in heavy laden with chain eats carrolwood. Upon entering the first thing you can help but notice is the donut display case filled with Krazy assortments of donuts. I was in fat kid heaven and wanted to try EVERYTHING!!! They are limited batches daily, so don't get there late hoping for a specific donut. \n\nFriday is a good cheat day right? Fat Friday!! Well with weight that has snuck up on me out of the blue I had to curb my choices to just a 1/2 dozen on National Donut Day. Since we were all weight conscious at work we shared the wealth that way we got to try em all and works out to maybe one whole donut???\n\n\nLets Talk donuts:\nMany of the base ingredient donuts is their raised yeast donut and from there the creativity goes So Nuts!!! Plan of attack can get a little confusing when trying to order a 1/2 or dozen. There are specialty donuts blended in the mix and those should be to one side of the case or have some symbol noting specialty donut, and then their are fancy donuts which are a little extra when ordering by the box. Well who doesn't want a fancy donut? Plain and solid are soooo dated in the food evolution.\n\n-Maple bacon long board - specialty donut. This yeasty donut with maple glaze, topped with strips of bacon. How could I not pass up this sweet and salty goodness. So nuts!!!\n\n-Peanut Butter & Jelly - This thing sits Huge when looking at it in the display case. Its a yeast donut filled with raspberry filling and topped with a peanut butter topping. So Nuts!!! I thought the filling could be more jam like and the peanut butter topping could be more peanutty. I'm a fan of texture contrast so sprinkling or mixing chopped peanuts would make it noteworthy to me.\n\n- Cookies & cream & Cereal Killer (fruit loops or trix): both a play on eating a bowl of cereal except its on a donut. So nuts!!!\n\n-Cake donuts - Red velvet and reeses coco puff donut - the cake was moist and dense. Red velvet is a must for those who dunk their donuts in coffee.\n\nBeverage:\n-House blend coffee - local roast that is a blonde and medium roast blend with notes of vanilla. This complimented my donuts very well.\n\nIn the end I was happy with all my choices I got to sample. I will be back to sample more in the display case. Looking over the menu I could not help but notice their play on sandwiches they offer for breakfast, lunch or dinner since they close at 9p. But why not have your bacon egg and cheese on a donut of your choice? Or stop in for lunch for a Glazed donut burger with bacon on it? Sinful!!! \n\nSo Nuts! Donuts & Deli has something for everyone (well almost everyone Cooper (my frenchie) says he would like something for the canines) at any given point of the day. Look for me soon!! Donut and burger is on my mind.",
"I went this morning for breakfast and was so glad I did. I had an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and bought donuts to take home. Everything was delicious! I got to visit with the manager too! I had a wonderful experience! The high top table/ booths were awesome. Can't wait to go back!",
"There's a new place for donuts in Carrollwood, and I'm hooked!\n\nSo Nuts! Donuts & Deli has recently opened in the Publix shopping center along Dale Mabry in southern Carrollwood. You'll find this place a few doors down from Tijuana Flats, and around the corner from The Brass Tap.\n\nSo Nuts! opens at 6am Mon - Fri for the breakfast crowd, and they feature all different types of locally-roasted coffee drinks, hot tea, hot cocoa, and fruit smoothies. They're quickly becoming known for their fun, funky, feel-good gourmet donuts made fresh daily in small batches. The So Nuts! donuts display features cake and yeast ring-donuts in outrageously-delicious choices, along with longboards, fritters, and some wild specialty donuts with crazy names and terrific fillings and toppings.\n\nI'm not a huge fan of most pastries because they are usually sickly-sweet, but the folks at So Nuts! have found the right blend of fruit flavors to enhance, rather than overpower their donuts, and I certainly appreciate the difference.\n\nYou'll also find breakfast sandwiches which are served on your choice of a donut, waffle, or bagel; and some insane grilled cheese donuts - picture a glazed donut turned inside out, add cheese, meats, or jelly, and grill it up! Savory donuts? Who'd a thunk it!!!!\n\nSo Nuts! stays open until 9pm which means you can also go there to enjoy artisan-crafted deli sandwiches with all of your usual favorites like pastrami, corned beef, turkey, roast beef, and French dips. They also go over the top with a glazed donut burger sandwich with two 1/4 pound burgers, applewood-smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, and onion between two grilled, glazed donuts. What?!?!? So Nuts!!!!!\n\nIn addition you'll find smoked dinosaur legs (remember those big ol' honkin smoked turkey legs from Disney?), hotdogs, soup, chicken & waffles, with plenty more crazy ideas still to come. Oh, and if you need something for dessert, they have a big showcase filled with donuts and pastries.\n\nIn a city filled with chain eateries, it's nice to find a place that is standing out by being fun, a little crazy, and very delicious. So Nuts! works for me.",
"So, I saw Rob G.'s review and bookmarked So Nuts, then yesterday for some reason at least 3 others on my Yelp friends list went there for lunch! I had to have it for dinner (especially since it was just me and the kids this week...hubby isn't into sweets like I am...I know, bad mom taking the kids to get donuts for dinner while he's away!)\n\nI ordered the kids regular grilled cheese sandwiches and I got the Donut Burger without bacon. So, maybe the bacon is what makes this burger \"the stuff,\" but it just didn't have the sweet and savoriness that I expected it to. I actually think the burger itself could use some seasoning, but it was perfectly cooked and juicy. I'll have to come back for another deli option and even try the Donut Grilled cheese as Steve E. mentioned they also have! The pasta salad on the side was just okay. I prefer my pasta salads with cucumber as opposed to celery, which I love in everything else. \n\nThe highlight of my visit were the donuts that I brought home for dessert...and for breakfast the next day. They are freshly made every day and you can really tell. I'm usually not a big cake doughnut fan, but I couldn't resist ordering the red velvet cake donut. Wow! It wasn't as heavy as I expected. I really want another!...like right now! The yeast glazed donut was fantastic. Not too sweet like a krispy creme, but not too bready like a dunkin donut...just right. The kids got the chocolate yeast donut with sprinkles and a cereal yeast donut with what I think is topped with trix. I also got a lemon filled powdered donut and a raspberry filled yeast glazed donut. I'm not certain, but I think these donuts are made with an eggier batter than the regular yeast donuts with a hole??...I say this because they tasted so light. I can see how someone could have more than just one! ;)\n\nThere's a cool new utensil dispenser near the soda machine that the guy that brought our food out told me just got installed. He stated that the plastic knives are actually sharp. They really are! I cut my donut burger in half with ease. I'm a serious germaphobe and I won't even let my family eat anything without washing hands or at least using hand sanitizers while we're out. So I can really appreciate knowing that 50 hands haven't dug into a container to fish out plastic utensils. It's details like this that really excite me about a place. I hope they keep up the attention to detail and continue to use the supplier of these utensils. \n\nThis is a convenient deli for me to get to because it's just a straight trip up linebaugh to dale mabry and there's plenty of parking in the plaza it sits in. I do think a competitor over in south tampa might have a leg up on taste...but the convenience and parking is always a south tampa issue. So, I'll be back to So Nuts! Donuts & Deli to try more of the menu!\n\nNOTE: I overheard that the actual grand opening will be in about 2 weeks. I may be out of town then, but if I'm here I'll be checking in!",
"After seeing all the hype on Yelp, I knew I needed to try this place out. \n\nI arrived around 845 on a Friday morning. There was a decent amount of people inside and you could see the employees in the back making fresh donuts and bringing them to the display case. \n\nAlthough the extravagant donuts looked beautiful, I'm not one for cereal, extra frosting or sprinkles on my donut. I tend to lean towards the traditional ones and I chose a blueberry cake. It was so great and fresh but pretty sweet. \n\nInstead of opting for a second donut, I decided I should probably get some protein in my system so I ordered the ham, egg and cheddar on a bagel. The ham quality was good-more of a non lunch meat type. The bagel was ok. Nothing great. I had high hopes that they would also carry a high quality bagel but I found that not to be the case. The eggs were meh. \n\nOn my next trip I will stick to what they do best-donuts.",
"Don't go running to this place expecting a 5 star experience. Like I did. Which was a mistake.\n\nThis place has A LOT, A LOT, of kinks to work out for it to ever earn my business again.\n\nLet's start with one of the worst things I see in a restaurant, one of my biggest pet peeves: NO MENU. Isn't this like, Restaurant 101, that you put up a big menu board/sign so that walk-up customers aren't completely dazed and confused about where to go, what to do, what to get in your restaurant? \n\nJesus Christ.\n\nThere is no overhead menu anywhere. So you look around and see a stack of folded paper menus and order from them. The girls behind the counter are extremely nice, but just as dazed and confused as you, the customer, are.\n\nNext up you see a donut case. But 75% of the donuts are not labeled. So even though you think you want that chocolate donut (for example), well, guess what: IT HAS CHILI PEPPER IN IT. It would be nice if all the donuts were labeled/had signs so that customers know what they are looking at. And when I say \"labels\" I am not talking about some lazy-ass piece of paper stuck to the glass written on by a 3-year-old. I am talking about real food signage. \n\nDespite all this I did drive all the way to C-wood from South Tampa to go to this place, so I was gonna spend some money, dammit. So I did. I ordered 12 donuts, a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. All were average to terrible.\n\nDONUTS:\n\nWAY TOO BIG. If your donut is too big for me to bite it (yeast glazed), that's a fail right there. Also it didn't taste all that great. First of all they don't have enough A/C going in there or something b/c the glazing on the donut was half-melted. That is annoying to me. Also, they taste artificial, they lack a home-made taste. Yes, they are better than a chain donut, but not great, not 5 stars. Maybe 2.5 stars. MAYBE. The cake donuts were also not that great. \nNow yes, they have all these \"hipster\" or \"frou-frou\" donut offerings, with toppings like cereal, cookies, bacon, etc. But they are too big and don't taste great. It's like dressing up a donut that is inherently subpar. \n\nBREAKFAST SANDWICH:\n\nYou know the kind of plastic-looking eggs they put out at all the chain hotels for the breakfast buffet? The kind of eggs that don't taste like eggs and certainly don't LOOK like eggs? That look like yellow-colored dried paint? Yes that is what they put on my bagel. Also I could tell the eggs had been microwaved because they were super hot in some parts and lukewarm in other parts. Yeah, wasn't impressed with that item.\n\nCOFFEE:\n\nDon't even think for one second you will get good coffee here. Just forget it. \n\n\n\nI would not return.",
"My first visit was today at lunch. I wanted to see how good a deli it was. I had the hot pastrami sandwich (which comes with chips and pickle) and it was all right, not great. The bread was very average filled with plenty of meat, which seemed to be store bought pre-sliced pastrami with little to no taste. Mustard came in packets which you spread. I expected more. The total was $12.82 which I think is very high for the quality I tasted. \n\nThe place was very clean and the donuts looked good. I will probably be back to try those. In general I think this is a donut store that sells sandwiches and not a real deli.",
"We have an office down the road and I stopped in to see how many donuts I needed that day\nThe Bavarian creme for my husband and jellies for the kids\nThe creme was delicious !\nThe jelly was not as good- the jelly inside was too thin for our liking\nHad the chicken and waffles and that was very good\nTry the key lime donut and the pecan cake donut\nStaff was great \nI asked why they did not advertise yet and the counter staff told me this is the soft opening- so I am watching for the grand opening very soon\nCoffee was fresh and tasty!"

"My number-one, all-time favorite bar dinner. Wings, potato logs, extra blue cheese, draft beers for $2.25..... Byrne's is the ultimate neighborhood bar. Real life here... even the slumming hipsters can't wreck it. Boys, this is a good test for girlfriend candidates. If she's too cool for Byrne's, say goodbye... and hello to your own bowl of wings.",
"First let me say I'm bias since I lived in the neigborhood and grew up here. This is the only place to go for a neigborhood bar \"feel\" that is welcoming for all people. Union types, CEO's, lawyers, indian chiefs, college students, high school drop outs all mingle and talk with each other. The bar area itself is classic. Long wooden bar with brass foot railing. The bartenders are the best. Simply the best. Friendly, fast and helpful. I never ever had to wait long for a beer and trust me this bar does get packed at times. The staff is second to none. They have all been there for years and there is a reason for this, they are the best. Frank is the man. Greets you like he's known you for years. The wings are the best around. The logs are Philly's best kept secret. The selection of beers is incredible since this is billed as a neighborhood bar. Easy to get too, right off N I95. Like the other review said \"this is a good test for girlfriend candidates. If she's too cool for Byrne's, say goodbye... and hello to your own bowl of wings.\"..'Nuff said!....",
"The wings at Byrne's are out of this world, if a bit on the expensive side. They're worth the price, though. Prepared in a pressure cooker, they come out to the table with the meat practically falling off the bone. You can literally stick the wing in your mouth and pull, with only the bare bones coming out. They've got just the right amount of kick to them and they're perfect with a pitcher of your favorite beer. Be careful...before you know it, you've eaten 25 wings by yourself.\n\nDon't forget their crabby logs and the special chicken sandwich, perfect for a take out order, melts in your mouth.",
"My taste buds are exhausted. Although I suppose that's what 25 wings, crabby logs, Maryland crab soup, jalapeno poppers and a good 6,000 calories will do to you. In my defense, I wasn't alone, but I did a good share of the damage. The crab soup may not have much crab in it, but man does it taste good.. and it comes in a coffee mug. Who doesn't love that? Crabby logs are essentially steak fries covered in Old Bay and served with Whiz and sour cream. Kind of strange but I have to get them every time. It's just part of Byrne's experience. The wings are where it's at though. It goes like this:\n\nStep 1) Insert wing into mouth\nStep 2) Lightly bite down with teeth\nStep 3) Pull\nStep 4) Place bone in bowl\n\nDelicious! The meat comes right off the bone - it's the perfect lazy person's wing. Not very large or crispy, but so good.\n\nByrne's is a classic neighborhood bar.. I will admit that Port Richmond is not a neighborhood I'd go walk around in by myself, especially at night, but once you're inside you'll be just fine. The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is chill, and if you're worried about your car you can always watch over it on the security camera screen they have inside.",
"I heard of Byrne's a few times as the best wings in Port Fishington but never tried them till today. They have all 5-star ratings and this one will be no different.\n\nMy buddy came over to watch some football and I told him we'd check out this place I've heard of that has awesome wings and we salivated over the reviews for a few days. I called up to find out if they do take out orders, which they do, and they were very polite in answering my usual clueless annoying questions. \"Do you do take out orders? What increments do you sell wings? How much do they cost?\" Of course repeating it all to my friend. \"25 or 50 wings?\" He just kinda nodded his head and said, \"50\" They took the order and said it would only be 15 minutes.\n\nQuick drive up there, plenty of parking. They were as polite in person as they were over the phone. The wings were immediately ready and I didn't think they were overpriced. We raced home as the smell was driving us crazy. We started eating and instantly fell in love. The wings are seriously tender, you can just pull the meat off the bone. The heat was perfect in my opinion. Not bland by any means, but I wasn't dripping with sweat and could still taste flavors after 3 wings.\n\nThe two of us killed the 50 wings and were so glad we decided to get 50 instead of 25. I'll definitely be getting wings here from now on. Maybe I'll have to eat in next time. The place looked nice and they had a couple flat screens in there to watch the game.",
"Byrne's is THE place for wings in Philly! I'm actually disappointed that somehow in all my days of Yelping I've overlooked rating this staple of Philly bar food joints. \n\nMy first time at Byrne's it was Superbowl Sunday, I was heading back to Philly to meet up with some friends and they asked me if I'd stop off an exit early on 95 and pick up a take out order they had placed. I noticed immediately that every table the front room had steam table trays of game day wings piled on top. Football and Byrne's have a longstanding relationship.\n\nSo far I've only done takeout, but it does look like you're in for a treat if you stay and catch the live show. \n\nThese wings are straight up buffalo style! No hoisin glazed ginger-infused Siracha kissed imitators here. (Not that there's anything wrong with that), but sometimes a girl just wants her wings old school with some blue cheese and celery action. Is that so wrong?!?!",
"My 100th review!\n\nI heard the wings here are fantastic, so I came searching. Alas, they don't live up to my standards. I'm sure there are people who will love the style of wings here. They are quite tender. They might steam them first to get the soft, almost chewy consistency. The meat almost falls off the bone. I just don't love that style for chicken wings. The wing sauce isn't anything special, either. \n\nI went with my good friend Dan to check out a hockey game and eat and drink. The bartender here was awesome, friendly and on top of his game. We were never left with a moment without a beer in front of us. The atmosphere here is what you'd expect. The clientele is mostly old, white, Irish Catholic blue collar. Everyone seems to be jovial, just trying to have a good time.\n\nThe beers here are also what you'd expect. National brews from the US and Ireland. The best thing here is Yeungling, so that gives you an idea of what you're getting into. \n\nBottom Line: The wings might be your style, but you shouldn't come here for the beer or food. It's a great place to meet real people, and catch a game. Nothing more than that.",
"It was a little cramped (it was a Friday), and I had to sit elbow-to-elbow with someone I didn't know... but it was pretty well worth it. It's your basic american pub fare, and it's really good! I didn't get a chance to try their wings (yet)... but their fries are phenomenal!",
"I'd give this place zero stars, but they do serve beer. crab logs, potato logs, good wings?? ya gotta be kidding me!! i can get better wings at a Chinese take out under the EL on Kensington Ave. This place is more over-rated than Stock's Bakery!! The best crabs in this joint are on the ladies toilet seats!",
"Byrne's Tavern is the hidden diamond in Port Richmond. I live in Northeast Philly and it is always worth the drive to come to Byrne's. The beers are cheap and the wings are even better. Imagine a chicken wing perfectly cooked with crisp skin, tender juicy inside, and a hot sauce that is the perfect cross between spicy and tangy. The bleu cheese dressing (often overlooked) is home made, and a nice compliment to the wings. Wash it all down with a domestic draft beer for $2.25. I have not had any other items on the menu, but my friends say the pizza is also fantastic. \n\nJust like Port Richmond itself, the restaurant is very small and cramped, so expect to sit next to someone whom you don't know. The wait staff is also very informal and will not provide you with the usual server etiquette, but it is another facet that adds to the uniqueness of the establishment.\n\nIn all, Byrne's reminds me of a Cheer's atmosphere where everyone knows your name."

"This is a great new restaurant on Haddon Ave in Collingswood. The decor transports you into a peaceful, hip new world. Everything was delicious - the shrimp shumai was tasty, the Tuna Madness Roll (crunchy tuna with seared tuna on top!) was outstanding, and the sugar pea and shrimp was perfectly cooked and seasoned! \n\nThe only \"constructive\" feedback I would have is that the evening's soundtrack of smooth jazz really didn't fit well in the amazing setting. I think something a little more modern, perhaps some Zero 7, would set the mood better. \n\nNext time we're craving sushi, we will definitely remember this BYOB gem!",
"After staring longingly at the \"Coming Soon\" sign that hung in the doorway for months on end, Woksabi finally opened and I was able to check out the eats. \n\nYesterday being my birthday (shameless plug~ I'm a Leo, what do you expect?!), I decided it was as good a time as any to treat myself to a little take-out. I tried the \"tuna madness\" roll, which the previous reviewer recommended. It was a crunchy spicy tuna roll topped with seared tuna, scallions and tobiko. I figured at $12, the roll would be pretty substantial, but I threw in a cucumber roll just in case. \n\nI got home and tore into my bag-- and was a little disappointed. The tuna madness roll was no larger than an average, run of the mill tuna roll, with small pieces of seared tuna on top. I wondered, \"Where exactly is the madness?\" It was good for sure, but definitely not worth $12. \n\nI'll be back, but next time will opt for the regular spicy tuna rolls that cost half the price.",
"everything that i've had at this restaurant is fantastic, and i'm especially impressed with their vegetarian options. the best part of woksabi is that the menu is not all sushi; it's not even all japanese. you can get a wide range of popular dishes, including thai. this place is definitely a gem among all of the other collingswood restaurants.",
"Lot's of effort and experience, but just not up to par for a return visit. \n\nFor the inside beat....the local Collingswood Chow's Chinese take-out place is the owner of this establishment. They opened it for their daughter and she runs the show.\n\nThe ambience and decor are top notch with a modern feeling complete with innovative lighting setting the stage. If only the food could keep pace. \n\nHere you have talented Chinese take-out people trying their experience at a higher end restaurant with an addition of japanese food. \n\nThey fail on all cylinders with the exception of decor. Prices are too high and food quality is the same as their take-out place across the street. It's just on a nicer plate with mood lighting.",
"This place is right around the corner from me, and I must hit it up at least once a week. I only eat the sushi, so I can't say what they're doing on their kitchen menu. They've got a great Tuna Madness Roll which is great, but a little pricey at almost $18. \n\nI recognize the people from Chow's across the street. I use to love eating Chinese pizza at Chow's back in the day. It's good to see that they've grown and matured.\n\nIf I wasn't a local I'd give it a 3 star.",
"Recently, I wrote about the disappointing search for good pad Thai in my area. I had surrendered my efforts and had given up hope, when I suddenly recalled seeing some random hot entrees on a take out menu from nearby Woksabi. Thinking the chances of finding Thai items at a Japanese restaurant were slim, I quickly scanned the menu when, out of nowhere, I saw it: Pad Thai with chicken, shrimp or beef: $10. I promptly placed my order and was told it would be ready in 20 minutes. \n\nA half hour later, I pulled a huge container of steaming hot goodness from the brown paper bag. The noodles did not appear oily at all, which meant the dish was created by Thailand standards as opposed to most Americanized versions which are made with oil (yeah, I looked it up- Wikipedia rocks!). My request to 86 the tofu was honored. Not only was the serving size large enough for two lunches, it was also light, flavorful and just all-around awesome. Pad Thai victory!!!",
"Upon entering Woksabi, you'll get the feeling that a lot of time and attention to detail were put into opening this restaurant. The clean lines of design combined with natural elements and multi-colored accent lighting give the dining area an added level of sophistication-meets-groovy. \n\nI've gone in for carry-out on two occasions but only recently dined in. Each time I've walked through the doors, I've been greeted by a smiling, welcoming staff member...a plus for any business! \n\nMy partner and I love sushi so we stayed the course when ordering our dinner. We started off with the hot and sour soup and tempura vegetables, both were superb! \n\nWe chose to have a spider roll along with one of the special rolls that was being offered that evening. Our sushi arrived in pleasant timing with the appetizers; not too quickly and no long wait. It was fresh, abundant (enough for two big guys like us!) and remarkably good! I don't think I've had better sushi, and believe me, I eat sushi everywhere I go!\n\nAlthough the atmosphere is beautiful, I'm curious to know how they would handle larger parties. From my observation, there was only one larger booth/table and the configuration of the restaurant would make it difficult to accommodate a large group unless they would sit at different tables. That was the only drawback that I could see.\n\nThe staff was great, the service was wonderful and the food was excellent. Well worth a few extra dollars to achieve the Big Three!",
"So lovely to look at, and a name that's so bold, but prices are shocking, and the food - well the food's just boring.\n\nYes I know it doesn't rhyme, and that same sense of discord that you get from reading my bad poetry is a shade of what I experienced after eating here. Twice.\n\nI was so happy to see a higher end sushi bar going into Collingswood. Sagami has needed a little challenge on its home turf and the little chinese restaurant across from Wawa just wasn't doing it. Surprise! It turns out these are the same owners (as the little chinese place) taking on a new, upscale venture. It's a darn shame it's all pig and lipstick.\n\nNow I've read the reviews and I agree it's very pretty, and the staff is pleasant, but I ultimately don't care about any of that if the food is good. Let's face it - we've all eaten at a jersey dive at 2am and had the food practically thrown at us - but who cares - it was what it was and the attitude was the 'charm' of the experience.\n\nI was not charmed.\n\nLet's start with the appetizers. The sunomono was nice, but I would have prefferred more vegetables in mine. It was priced well for the portion of fish I received, but sunomono should be pickled fish AND vegetables, not fish with vinegar dressing and some seaweed for color. Sorry if you think that's a small deal, but I really like my sunomono and this was a poor effort. The Tako Su (Octopus Salad) suffered from the same affliction.\n\nOn to the main course. Sushi for two. $40. Ok - I've paid that (and more) before, so let's look, we have two (each) shrimp, salmon, tuna, herring (bleah), squid, and eel. Tuna rolls (4 pcs), check. California roll (4pcs), check. That's it! This was like a $16 special at AOI in the city. Heck I could have got this at Wegmans for like $25. Was the fish fresh, yes, but there sure wasn't $40 of it.\n\nPlus look at it - Herring! Squid! Where am I - Wegman's kosher counter? Where's the Uni, or some White Tuna, or a nice Hamachi. This was boring - spell it with me - B.O.R.I.N.G. \n\nAdd to that a king crab handroll, one, for $10 that was half the size of the one I usually get at Mikado or Fuji mountain, and both of then charge $6 and $7.50 respectively. \n\nOur bill came to $110 when we factored in tax and tip, and it was, frankly, shamefully overpriced. They should have called me the next day or sent me flowers to screw me over like that, and I received not bloom one nor has my phone jingled.\n\nNow I love sushi, and I've spent $300 a person at Morimoto's for a chef's tasting that left me so full I could still taste fish the next day, so to go here and pay for adequate (not interesting) fish in small portions at easily 40% more than Sagami or Mikado just makes no sense. Frankly, I wanted to give one star but I was concerned about the flaming, so I've cut my losses and given it two. After all, the fish, what little there was of it, was fresh.\n\nSo I'll not be returning for a third try. I'm so disappointed at the lack of effort and overpriced food that I won't waste one more dime on them.",
"The food at Woksabi tastes good and there are certainly no complaints, but it's all about presentation here. The ambience is awesome, great mood and atmosphere to bring friends and hang out. It's BYOB, which is always a plus. \n\nIn addition to that, the service is excellent. Every time I've walked in there I'm greeted like a familiar face (I've only been there three times, but it was always the same enthusiasm). I really enjoy eating here.",
"The food is good here. The service is not so great. The waiter was never around when I needed something (like a fork to eat my dinner with!). The staff was just talking to each other instead of paying attention to the customers and I overheard yelling in-between. Needless to say, it ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing night out with the hubby. I would give it 3 stars for the good food (Salt and Pepper shrimp / woksabi chicken) minus 1 star for the bad service. I'll do take-out next time."

"My second cheese steak of the trip to visit the relatives was from here, and though not as good as Dalessandro's, it still ranks a 5. Got to go, but the rolls were toasted and so the sandwich did not suffer. All 3 ingredients were excellent. We also got a \"side\" of cheese pizza which I had a slice of and it was very good. Side of fries were not that great, but I didn't really need them so doesn't affect my rating.",
"The place that I worked in Elkins Park went out of business in January, which makes me sad, not because I liked working there, but because I can't go to Frank's for lunch anymore. Now I have to find an excuse to drive a half hour out of my way so I can go to Frank's, but wanting some of the best pizza around is a good excuse in my book.\n\nFrank's pizza is amazing. Cheesy, tasty, with the perfect flavor of sauce and cheese. Mm, mm, good. I think that the owner (or former owner, I've been going there a while, and there's been some turnover in the store, so I don't know if the same guy owns the place anymore) went to the CIA (Culinary Institute of America), so the pizza is fan-freaking-tastic. My mouth is watering just thinking about this place.\n\nAlso, they're pretty cheap, and they've got a good selection of non-pizza corner Italian pizza/sandwich shop food if you're so inclined. The only thing is that it's tough to find parking on the street because it's a small street. Anyway, I need to find some extra time to drive up to Elkins Park sometime soon b/c I really want Frank's now that I'm thinking about it... It's pizza perfection.",
"Growing up in Elkins Park, this was the only pizza that I knew (and loved).\n\nFrank's catered Myers Elementary School's pizza parties, provided dinner to my brother and I when my parents worked long hours, and delivered at 2 am to my drunk friends in high school. Thanks a lot.",
"You can only get good pizza off of stone. If the pizza joint has a conveyor belt oven, run the other way. I've never seen a oven like the one at Frank's. For the geeks, think of a hard-drive with several platters - only, kinda bigger. And the platters are stone.\n\nReal good thin crust pizza.",
"Hours are sporadic - Some nights last summer they closed an hour or two earlier than scheduled. One time I called at 7 and was told \"pick-up only\" despite the menu saying they were open 'til 9pm.\nDelivery takes rather long (45-60 min regardless of day or time, and we're less than 2 miles away). Local competitors (which are further away) take 30 min or less on average.\nFood is hit or miss - Plain pizza is usually ok, but prosciutto and ham cause stomach pains. Cheesesteaks are not consistent: Of the 8 or 10 times we've ordered steaks, half were great and the other half were horrible.\n\nIn short, after about 15 orders since moving to Elkins Park a year ago, we have finally decided to stop ordering from Frank's. Such a shame.",
"Had Franks pizza for the first time this past weekend. It was excellent!! Fast delivery and great food. Glad to say I have a new pizza place to frequent.",
"I placed my first order from Frank's for delivery this evening. The delivery time given was 45 minutes. Upon arrival my soda were not very cold; the pizza was not very hot, some of the cheese was sticking to the box. \n\nAlthough it was barely warm it was fantastic and oversized for the large box that it was placed in. The pizza tasted great and I would surely order another. \n\nTheir vegetarian pizza is the awesome!",
"Just moved into elkins park about a week ago. I ordered a Cheesesteak in the afternoon and it was absolutely incredible. While there, I took a look at the pizza. After devouring the cheesesteak and absolutely loving it, my wife and i ordered a large pizza for dinner and loved it!! Highly recommended",
"i love franks for the hours and the deals on the small pizza. from 6-9pm call at the time and get a pizza for the price you call at (call at 6:57, pay 6:57)\n\nthey also sell by the slice.\n\nthe pizza is pretty good, with a fresh tasting marinara sauce and thin crust, which i like a lot. ive tried a few other items on the menu and except for the spagehetti and meatballs, fairly good. the pizza is still the best thing ive had there.\n\nthey deliver or pick up available- parking is sorta pain but just pull over anywhere and make it speedy!",
"I recentlly tried this to see how it was after reading other reviews. It was good, but not great pizza. Nice crust, but the sauce was lacking in flavor. New Venice down the road a bit is better hands down. Their cheesteaks rock too."

"Great new wine bar and cafe on State. Interesting selection of wines from California and abroad. Beers are local. \n\nBeautiful interior. \n\nIn the front of co-working space Impact Hub.",
"Unique spot right on State St. with an incredible wine selection and wonderful staff. Local beers and great view overlooking state st at the end of the bar.",
"Wow I was really excited for this Bar/ Cafe to open but am always nervous to go to opening day Bc brand new places can let you down....But I was extremely happy!! \nStaff was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are great and location/atmosphere is perfect.\nThey have amazing fun and unique Wines and Sherry's can't wait to go back and have lunch there!",
"Wondeful new spot. I Love the atmosphere here. I had a glass of the Sandhi Chardonnay and the Gobelsburg Rose. Both were fantastic. My girlfriend and I shared the Veggie Calzone and the Cheese plate, and we were blown away with how delicious they are. The owner Drew was super friendly and knew a ton about wine. He talked us through every wine with great knowledge. Going to make this spot a weekly visit!",
"This spot is absolutely out of this world. Satellite took me and my wife to the upperstratosphere of wine heaven. We were there for the launch of their Monday night wine flights! The food was also on point. Small bites with huge artisinal flare. \nDrew and Wilson took exceptional care of us. Their wine list may be one of the best values for quality on State St. And everything can be taken away. This is my new go to for pre-show drinks and bites or after dinner night caps.\n\n3-2-1, Lift off!",
"OMG you've GOT to experience this place! The ambience, THE WINES, the beer and food are different than anywhere in Santa Barbara. And the owner is so effervescent and enthusiastic about his business, and his knowledge and understanding of wine are unparalleled. Check it out and see for yourself.",
"We were in town for La Fiesta and wanted to get a little rest from the crowds. Yelp led us here! The place is not very big and was completely empty when we arrived. We were immediately greeted. Their knowledge of wines is great. The rosé they chose was probably the best we've had and we drank a lot of wine lol. We ordered almonds, olives and a cheese plater. The cheese plater is by far the best we have had anywhere. They take is seriously pairing flowers and the perfect cheeses to bread that perfectly thin and toasted. Most places get that wrong. By the time we left the place was completely crowded. I will definitely stop by this place again for wine and cheese!!",
"Great wine by the glass selection, warm and attentive service by the owner, fantastic cheeses and fresh food. State Street needed a classy wine bar like Satellite, I am glad I found this place !",
"Really amazing spot to try a variety of wines both local and from around the world. Super knowledgeable & friendly staff, and awesome vibe. Delicious wines, did not try the food but the menu looks great.",
"Love love love this place. Drew knows his sh*t if you're able to get him. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu."

"Great food, great price, fast and friendly. Good place to meet for lunch or have a quick bite. The spuds are awesome.",
"The best thing about this place is the extensive menu. This place has a little of everything: salads, sandwiches, loaded baked potatoes, soups and wow! even some dinner selections including meatloaf, chicken, etc., kind of like Boston Market but without the cafeteria line feel. The patio at this particular location is a great place to eat on a nice day because it has the perfect \"open air\" feel, yet is covered by an awning from end to end so you won't roast while you chow. The staff is extraordinarily helpful and accommodating - at least they always have been when we've been there - and the iced tea is delicious. I am pretty picky about my tea, and McAlister's does it well. No powdered, citric-acid laden aftertaste here! On our most recent trip, I tried the veggie sandwich and it was not only tasty, but very generous. I would like to see a few more veggie-based items on the menu, but that would be my only concern.",
"McAlister's does have good sweet tea... I'll give them that. I'm just not that big of a fan of their foods. It used to taste ok to me, and then one day I ordered a baked potato with grilled chicken on it. Their potatoes are pretty good - they are huge and they load them up with yummy goodness of all types: cheese, chili, bacon, sour cream, etc. The grilled chicken... disgusting. It isn't a regular chicken breast, but some over-processed weird schtuff with a gross taste and rubbery texture. \n\nEver since having the gross chicken, I have been really turned off by the place altogether. The rest of the menu isn't bad, but I've never had a stand-out meal there that makes me crave an encore performance. That being said, I will probably return once I get over my gross chicken phobia, but I'll never get something with chicken on it again.",
"It's a chain, so compared to someplace like Shapiro's it in a different league. But there are some things that make it worth a stop, especially for a quick lunch or grab-and-go meal. My daughter tells me the sweet tea is fabulous, and she's picky about her teas. My personal meal favorite is the muffuletta, which is really four sandwiches in one. I buy the full sandwich (huge, but 1/2 and 1/4 are also available), and take most of it home to eat for several lunches later in the week. It's like a gourmet ham, cheese, and bologna sandwich, with an olive and olive oil spread on a crusty roll. Very yummy. The side of mac and cheese is white cheddar and really good, as are the giant spuds, available with a variety of toppings. My son's fave is the Pot Roast Classic, and my husband likes their grilled chicken caesar wrap, although he's bummed they replaced their flax wraps with wheat ones. We asked a manager about it, and he said hardly anybody ordered the flax wraps so they discontinued them. Too bad, as they were a great low-carb alternative. Check out the menu online first before you go, because it's a little overwhelming if you just walk in and try to absorb it all, especially if there are three people at the counter waiting to serve you, as there almost always are except during mealtime rush. Service is usually very friendly, although every once in awhile I've had someone who's less than helpful -- usually one of their younger staff members who's maybe not fully trained and ready to face their customers. The good ones go out of their way to be friendly, chatty, and helpful.",
"$6.99 for a taco salad which consisted of 4 or 5 tortilla chips, some greens with too much dressing, and not much else. Avoid",
"Very friendly and quick staff.\n\nI ordered an usual -- pick any two. Cup of tortilla soup & half of a spud ole. The soup hit the spot on this cold day.\n\nNice restroom.",
"Been here many times, never a bad experience. This McAlisters is managed well. The outdoor patio seating is a plus.",
"A little expensive for a sandwich, but I have to admit the sandwich was quite delicious! I tried the Ham & Cheese Toastie, and it did have quite a bit of ham. It was grilled to perfection (not too burnt) and was very filling! And their sweet tea.... AMAZING. Not overly sweet but definitely tasty!",
"This is my \"go to\" spot for a \"nice\" lunch. Whether it be for work, for meeting up with a friend - whatever - it's a great place to eat and have options that aren't submersed in grease. I typically go for the BLT - ha. Crazy choice, I know. But, the BLT comes with your choice of a side and I typically go with the fruit cup. Fresh, delicious meal. If you're wanting to go during lunch, prepare for long lines and a full house. To any consumer, that's a sign of good business, though - am I right? \n\nThere are McAlister's Delis all over the area. All. Over. It's not the cheapest lunch, but it's definitely worth the extra couple of bucks to fulfill your appetite. I've gone to this location the most and it's always clean and the staff seem to be on top of their game. Keep it up!",
"This was my first visit. We came on a busy Friday during lunch and still got our food quickly. Seems like a great place for a nice lunch. Very friendly staff and reasonably priced"

"Seriously amazing.\nWalking through that door is like walking through the pearly gates of heaven, if heaven consisted of arcade games and craft beer (which I'm sure it does).\n\nWe had a fantastic game playing old arcade games while enjoying our choice of great beers from their rotating beer menu. They even have sour beers on tap! I've never found a sour beer on tap anywhere, so this was a VERY nice surprise. \n\nAlso, come filled with food (or bring your own) since they do not serve food. However, check to see if there's a food truck there!",
"Craft beer and old school gaming systems? How can you go wrong!\n\nI liked the vibe in here. Much like it's sister bar (Mermaid Tavern), Lowry Parcade has a laid back vibe and a good beer selection. The staff was very friendly and were genuinely excited about this new business on the night we stopped in.\n\nFrom Donkey Kong to Pacman to Pinball to Ninja Turtles to NBA Jam, this place will take you back to the feeling of the 90's old school arcades. The night I came in, some of the games were broken but I'm hoping to see more games and in better condition next time I'm here. Welcome to Tampa, Lowry Parcade! You are different and fun!",
"This place is the most awesome bar ever. If you don't know, now you know. Amazing bartenders, owners and Pac man. Can't beat that.",
"Great beer selection and a very accommodating staff gives this place 5 stars!",
"I walked into my dream tonight. Classic arcade games and local craft beer. Please stay open forever.",
"VERY fun.\n\nHours are awesome: they're open late, which is great for me, since I work night shift, and often there aren't a lot of date options past 10pm when my night is just getting started.\n\nThe games are awesome. A couple of them have free play, which stretches our dollar!\n\nThe drink selection is huge with a LOT from local breweries. My fiance LOVES this, and I love that they always have a couple ciders available! \n\nThe music adds to the great vibe and isn't too loud. \n\nIt can get pretty busy, but surprisingly there's always a game or two open to pick from. \n\nIt's an extremely fun place to spend an evening! I seriously have not a single bad thing to say about this place. It's awesome in every way :)",
"I'm not much of a drinker, but I love this place. Very fun, they have special nights too which is always a treat. Staff is great, prices are fair, some games are even free. Seriously have a lot of respect for this place. Been to a few bar/arcade mashups and this one is my favorite one. SO happy to live down the road from them.",
"This was a great place to have a \"chill\" date night, both my boyfriend and I are classic arcade fanatics, add to that great great craft beer and a super friendly waitstaff and we found ourselves at a five star arcade bar! Tori and the kid with a beanie on we're both awesome, super attentive, and friendly. We live in St Pete and drove out to hang out here, enough said!",
"Attention to anyone who ever used to keep quarters in their pockets, in hopes that their parents took you to a place that had an arcade when you were younger. This \"Bar\" has great local and out of state craft brews, but I'll be honest, I'm writing about my time wrap back to when games brought you together with your friends and all you argued about was who was better ...this place brings back some of that childhood gaming experiance greatness, but also with beer!\n\nI only got to stop in here long enough to have a couple of beers, Jdubs \"Left on Lido\" and Du Claw \"Blood Orange\". Both fresh with unique in flavor and bitter goodness. While I drink, I ventured through time, first spotting Galaga from (1981) then Karate Champ (1984) then to the Simpsons (1991). There were also shooting games I spotted, like Terminator (1991) and Pinball games like Street Fighter Il (1993). \n\nPlenty of games and beers to choose from. I didn't really see that they served food and there wasn't a food truck outside. It didn't stop me from enjoying my stroll through my childhood and it didn't seem to stop the other people that packed into the parking lot outside as well. To add to the gaming experience, they had a $5 buy in to play on a couple of Nintendo 64s hooked up to two old-school CRT TVs for Mario party 2 (1999).\n\nI'm sure there's plenty of games I missed, but if that's not what you're interested in, they have a nicely fresh felted pool table and flat screens to watch whatever. If the decorations that pay homage to video games of days past don't impress you, the attentive and friendly bartenders will help you enjoy your experience drinking your craft beer all the same.",
"This little hidden gem was loads of fun! It's filled with multiple classic video game consoles including Pac Man, Super Mario Brothers, Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, Jurassic Park, Terminator, pinball machines, and even more ancient video games than the ones I listed. They have a great selection of beers and ciders. I had a peach cider on tap which was sweet and delicious. The building is old, but the decor and atmosphere creatively unique. The area of location is not the greatest. The crowd is mostly hipsters. The staff seemed nice and helpful. There was only one game that was not functioning well. Bring lots of quarters!"

"We've been here several times. The location is very convenient for my situation. The food is good enough. The fried-chicken is sooooo good! If you need variety, More Food Court is good, but if I had to choose Korean food, I would go to Jon Ka Jib since it's so close to H-Mart.",
"I know very little about Korean food other than I love it. (If any kindly person would like to fill in my huge gaps of knowledge, I would be more than amenable to being adopted by a Korean eating buddy.) \n\nBeing both that I'm both terrifically cheap and a fan of ethnic food, this place is right up my alley. I get overwhelmed with all of the choices and am dying to try new ones (see above) but I have a rotating menu of about 5 things I get there that are always awesome. The chicken, even though it takes a bit of time, is super tasty, and everything I've had from the sushi stall is surprisingly high-quality. (Surprising because of the low prices, that is.) I love the bi bim bap, both dolsot and regular, but my heart usually belongs to soon doo boo, especially when it's cold out. Love the banchan, and they're already used to my dad barging up to the window and asking for more kimchee or take-out containers.\n\nThe parking lot's a pain in the ass, true, but you can get a super tasty meal for under $10 with tons of choices. I'm a regular.",
"My husband and I bring our 2 young children to the food court almost every weekend. We LOVE the food, the fish is fabulously fresh, the tempura crispy and hot, the noodle bowls (of every type are so heavenly and authentic. We are very comfortable there with the 2 kids, my 3 year old asks to go all the time! I highly recommend it!",
"This is an unusual (at least for the US) food court and it helps if you understand how it works. There are 5 or 6 different vendors, and as far as I can tell they are separate businesses. Each has numbered pictures of the dishes on offer. You place your order by number at a single cash register that serves all the businesses. Then you get numbered tickets and just wait for your food to be ready. They will prepare take-out if you request it.\n\nThe things my wife and I have tried here were great, but there's so many more things to try. As far as I can tell, most of the food is Korean, but one of the vendors has Japanese.",
"I know pretty much nothing about Korean food besides bi bim bap, and tacos, but I'm eager to learn. Luckily, there's a Korean food mecca down the street from my tennis club. I've been eager to try it for weeks, but finally just made it there during the October snow apocalypse. I browsed the options of the different vendors, and then approached the girl at the register to place my order. I told her I didn't know much about Korean and did she have any recommendations. I mentioned I was thinking about the short rib and cabbage dish, and she said that was a good choice so I ordered it to go. I got a number and then waited near the stall that was making my food. After about 10 minutes it was ready.\n\nWhen I got home and opened the bag I was immediately pleased by the smell. The dish was kind of like a soup with rice on the side. I poured myself a bowl and went to work. It was super tasty. The broth and cabbage were very flavorful and had some nice spice. The short ribs were tender although a little fattier than I would have preferred. Only complaint is that there wasn't much meat. The portion was huge though and I'll be eating it for a few days.\n\nMore will be part of my weekend routine, and hopefully I can convince some city dwellers to meet me out there so I can try some more dishes.",
"My favorite place to eat with the family. I only know about Korean food from the K-drama shows and my Kdrama group. We love eating here after church and there's so many dishes to choose from.\n\nRight price and the food is filling.",
"A variety of Asian cuisines in one place? With a low price tag? Heaven!\n\nMy brother works down the street from here and has talked about More Food Court for years. We went through HMart and up the stairs to this spacious area with four restaurants: Vietnamese/Pho, 2 Korean, and 1 Sushi (Korean and Japanese styles). I gushed when I saw Whedubop on the sushi menu. My brother knew the sushi chef, so he ordered that on my suggestion. The chef did have to take it back from my brother to show him how to mix it :) He had never had it before!\n\nEric R. ordered an udon and sushi combo. I got the dolsot bimibap! It came with banchan: cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, and seaweed, plus broth with green onions. It was a TON of food and I could not finish it, but my husband helped. I loved how the rice crisped up, and the gochujang was yummy. What a hit! I would be here all the time if I worked nearby!",
"If you're craving asian food with an emphasis on korean food but hate long waits, expensive food, or feeling awkward eating a meal in a restaurant alone, THIS IS YOUR PLACE! \n\nThe food is good and it's not at all awkward to eat there on your own. I like how quick they are, and the meals have a lot of food included. The price range is $7-10. Parking is easy in the lot and they recently built a door and walkway to enter the food court without having to pass though the grocery shopping areas, which I like. They probably use MSG, but its tastes good, so *shrug*.",
"Mmm Korean food!! This food court is on the second floor of HMart. It's a really big food court with four different food court restaurants from choose from. My friend and I were there on a Thursday night. It was pretty empty. My friends and I got our food to go. The food was good. It was my first time eating tteokbokki and it was delicious. After seeing tteokbokki on Korean drama, I finally got a chance to eat some. I visited Korea this year and got to try a real authentic tteokbokki in Korea and comparing it to the tteokbokki I ate at this food court, they taste very similar. This is the place to go for Asian cuisines. Yumm!!",
"I always eat here when I'm passing time with friends. It's not all that great, but it's not terrible. You catch my drift? And it's not that expensive, either."

"Really solid for a place that is doing their soft opening! I plan on returning a few weeks after they officially open and see what's cooking for dinner.\n\nToday, I had a lunch special, which was a half portion of lasagna and I added a side salad for a few bucks. Prior to the meal coming out, our waitress brought us some fresh-baked bread and two pieces of fried dough, topped with Parmesan cheese and a dollop of marinara sauce--all of which were great. The side salad was more like a full salad, and came with capers, grape tomatoes, fresh motz and a wonderfully light oil and citrus based dressing. The lasagna was perfectly sized for lunch, and with all the other treats, I left satisfied. The flavor was on point, and the pasta tasted wonderfully fresh and homemade. Only complaint was that it was a little cool (not cold) in the very center. I offered that feedback to our waitress. \n\nThe place was quaint, and the (presumed) owner was walking around talking to people in Italian, giving the place a very warm and welcoming feel. I think they've got about 15 tables, mostly 2 tops, plenty of bar seating and a few high tops around the bar.\n\nService was a little amateur-like because it was our waitress' first week in the industry, but she was extremely pleasant to speak with. I'm sure after business picks up, she will get into the swing of things. \n\nAnywho, as I hinted above, I will definitely be back to try some more of their food. I can already forecast an upgrade to a 4-star based on the quality and presentation of our dishes.",
"I think this will get better with time - but maybe give them a week or so to sort out the issues. Way understaffed, computer ordering system has a lot of glitches as does the kitchen. I see potential but they have to get their act together. Got the wrong appetizer, my entree - Bucatini was slightly undercooked and the sauce a touch too sweet. I did not get offered any bread. Owner seemed a bit oblivious to the chaos but he was very friendly and nice. If they want to succeed they need to review what went wrong at the end of each day and come up with a better game plan for the next day - otherwise they are going to lose customers. I hope this makes it because we need better Italian in Oldsmar. Also they need better wines by the glass, I would pay more for a better selection.",
"Truly authentic food from two brothers who relocated here to open this restaurant. Food is delicious and house made pasta is the best. Care and attention from servers and winery's. They truly want to know their guests and ensure their satisfaction. Yes they have only been pen a week and working out a few issues. Your patience is rewarded. I truly wish them success with this restaurant. Owners who care!!!",
"The place recently opened. Our waitress was extremely green and needs a fair amount of training. (We asked about an unfamiliar pasta and she replied very innocently that \"it was a noodle.\") However, she was extremely personable and friendly. If she is given the proper guidance on the menu and how to be a server, she will be excellent. She already has the intangibles. The menu is small. All items are à la carte. All pastas are made fresh. Our entrees were both excellent. The portion sizes were reasonable, not the typical chain Italian mega plate! As good as the food was, the place will need to advertise and market itself heavily. The location is not ideal and so many restaurants in the area come and go quickly. We will definitely return. There are several other \"noodles\" I want to sample!",
"Potential is a dirty word, but the right word for this place. Let the constructive critisizm begin! The serv ice was great with a huge A for effort. She admitted she has never served before, so when a couple things fell on the floor and she put them right back on the table and recapped the water, I was ok with it. The fresh pasta station and the sauce, as well as the pre-meal bread and dessert puffs were all ok. I was starving, and the house salad was full of mixed fresh greens, plump tomatoes and huge, flavorful artichokes with fresh mozz cheese. So delicious, I could have had it as a meal! What wasn't so good was the shrimp. It tasted so fishy I thought I'd be sick. They came with a parchment bag of tempura veggies that were alright, but the fried on fried food violence was way too much. I wouldn't suggest they serve that to anyone ever again. That dish is a lost cause. Lasagna was cool.",
"Loved the interior. Service was 5 star. The food was spot on. We want to come back to keep trying things on the menu. Lovers the house red wine. A new jewel has been born in Oldsmar for great Italian food. Not your daddy's Italian. Simply good. Great place for a date nite stop. Love the bar area. Try it. You'll love it.",
"Amazing food... Fresh homemade pasta..nice homestyle atmosphere...Great wine...Excellent dessert...Lexi was a great server...We will definitely be coming back...",
"Maybe the best veal I've ever had. \nSurprise restaurant find. In a strip plaza where you would least expect such a place. Nothing much to see outside but when you step in you see a wonderfully decorated family restaurant with a bright comfortable atmosphere. Can't really explain it but the décor just made me feel good. \n3 of us stopped in for a late quasi biz lunch. Two of us got the Scaloppina al vino bianco, which is kind of a veal marsala, and one got the Gnocchi alla Sorrentina. The veal may have been the best I've ever had and I'm not just writing that for effect. I mean maybe the best. The Gnocchi were also very good, home made and fresh. The sauce was good and seasoned right. Being Italian, the red sauce is the measure of all cooking ability and they did a great job. (Not going to say it's was my Mom's or Grandma's but very good indeed.) \nI also got lasagna to take home to my wife. It was also very good and fresh. My wife really like it. I tried it and it was really good. (Not saying it was my grandma's but close.)\n\nService was ok but it was quiet during an off time for a restaurant so can't say much about service. \nOne of the owners, Carlo, came around and spoke to everyone. Very nice guy from Rome. His family and his brother's family run the restaurant. \n\nDefinitely a hidden gem you have to try.",
"The people are awesome, but the food omg it's not!\nOnly the involtini melanzane are good\nThe spaghetti with fish \"frutti di mare\" yukky \nThere were \"ditalini\" pasta mixed with the spaghetti and the sauce yukky\nGnocchi ? Ok\nAnd the baba? \nMammamia absolutely not good\nI'm Italian and I know what's the italian food\nSorry I can't pay for this kind of food\nThey texted me after this review and asked me to take this off \nAnd there were some insults too in the message \nI'm italian\nBorn and raised in Italy \nMamma Mia",
"The 1 star is solely for the nice Chilean waiter who caught us as we were about to leave. \nYou'd think, the owners are Italian, this place has to be legit!! Well....not the case. \nThere's no host station, so we waited a bit to be greeted, waiters avoiding eye contact to avoid questions, waited more to be sat. There was only one menu on the table, and I was missing silverware. The waiter sat us, and we ordered Pellegrino, he gave us soda water from the fountain and a basket of stale bread that tasted fresh out of the microwave oven for the 3rd time. Still keep hope, since they have a fresh pasta station and it looked cool. \nThe waiter NEVER came back. As we're thinking, \"well, I guess Chili's still open\" the nice young man came and did everything in his power to makes us happy. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough. The appetizer was below ok, extremely small portion, over dressed salad, and again with the microwave oven! The food was absolutely forgettable. The pasta was NOT freshly made, I got about 3 shrimp and were badly cleaned (I ate a lot of sand) and 3 pieces of grouper. All very bland. But at least we were not the couple beside us, they REALLY had their order shredded!! And don't even get me started on the cherry tomatoes on the floor that every single associate failed to pick up!!\nI will not be going back again. Ciao."

"United by Blue is a new place that just opened up on Penn's campus. The store is half coffee shop, half clothing store, which I think is an interesting concept. The decor and ambiance is really nice and laid back so it is a comfortable place to study (more on that later). \n\nI ordered a small latte and a croissant, both of which were pretty good. My friend tried their special of the day which was the hot apple cider and she really enjoyed it! They also have bagels, donuts, Cronuts, biscottis, etc like a regular coffee shop. They have yogurt/parfaits as well as a few sandwiches and salads. The place was already full with students studying there and upon going, I'm not surprised. I'm sure this place will get even busier as the year progresses and more students try it out. That said, United by Blue is certainly a welcome addition to our campus.\n\nFor those interested in their clothes as well - the frequent customer punch card can get you a free coffee but also 20% off of the merchandise!",
"This is a hot new coffeehouse on Penn's campus complete with its own clothing and accessory store built into the shop. They are an earthy crunchy kind of place and use a lot of sustainable products. This is enhanced by their mission to collect as much trash from nature as possible, which they broadcast on the chalkboard above the milk and sugar counter.\n\nI am not sure if the clothes are hand screen printed but they definitely have a careful quality to them and the designs are subtle graphics typically regarding hiking or nature in some way. Very understated and tasteful and the accessories are made in a similar manner. I only wish they were a little cheaper so I could afford them!\n\nNow onto the coffee and food - in short, very good. They hand pump their donuts with buttercream and have several interesting pastries such as cronuts and danolis (sp?). I had a cinnamon stick which was TO DIE FOR. Definitely grab one if you like cinnamon. I also have had a salad because they were out of sandwiches by the time I got there, which was unfortunately not very good I have to say (pretty much just spinach leaves with a few toppings placed at the top), but I will just pretend that was a fluke.\nAnyway, the lattes are really good and pretty much the same price as similar \"nicer\" options in the area such as Starbucks or Hubbub. They have a bunch of fancy siphoning equipment at the counter that is just kind of fun to look at as well.\n\nThe only problem I have with this place is that it is too small for a college campus, where people like to come and study. You are lucky if you can get a seat so come at a time when there is less traffic if you want to sit down. However, it is a nice place to sit and work if you can get one - there is an area at the back where the wall is covered by logs which makes the whole place feel kind of woodsy. Also, the service is great and the people are really nice, which is always a plus! Overall, definitely a great addition to the University City area.",
"I reeeeally wanted to dislike this place, mostly because the coffee + clothes concept weirded me out. BUT, I have to admit. The coffee here is amazing and some of the best I've had so far in Philly. My soy latte was perfectly done, not burnt to shit like some of the other coffee shops I've tried on/near campus. I will definitely be back!",
"Stopped by here to grab a quick chai latte the other day. I was intrigued by the hipster vibe to the place and was curious to see what the hype was all about. The store has an interesting concept being that is half-coffeeshop, half-clothing store. \n\nI didn't get a chance to try any of their food but they had some pretty cool offerings like cronuts and danolis but the chai latte I ordered was definitely above average! It wasn't too sweet like most chai lattes. I liked that they have a square card reader for payments. While I waited for my drink, I had a chance to browse through their clothes. The clothes seemed a little overpriced but appeared to be of high quality and well-thought out. They also had some cool bags that I'd want to check out more closely some other time. \n\nWhile I did enjoy what I ordered, I found them to be a little pricey. My small chai latte was a good $4.50 which is way more than what I'm used to paying at Hubbub or Starbucks. They also have very limited seating which isn't ideal for a coffeeshop located on a college campus.",
"This place is right downstairs from my office, so it's hard for me to write a three star review. I like their coffee/espresso (though they can be a bit sour) and they always have almond milk for specialty drinks, too. However, their food leaves a lot to be desired. OK... Pastries are good. The buttercream stuffed donut things are delicious and worth sharing with a friend, and the rest of the baked goods are worth it, too (though, I'm not sure I'd spring for the $5 \"donnoli\"). The have good cream cheese spreads, too. \n\nHOWEVER, if I ask for butter on my bagel, I do NOT want margarine. Yuck! Get butter, you guys. It's not that bad for you in moderation. Margarine is a nightmare. \n\nI ordered a Le Bus turkey sandwich from them, which was $7(!!!), and all I got was some turkey and cheese on bread. Seriously, it had ZERO condiments and the turkey was so messily thrown on that I had to take apart the sandwich to straighten it all out. How is that a $7 sandwich? They did press it in their panini press, so it had a little bit of flavor from whatever they use on the press (margarine, too? who knows). Still... way overpriced. \n\nI also ordered the oatmeal and it was god-awful. All the \"fruit\" was dried, and the oatmeal was watery and crunchy. I'd prefer a little bit of healthy fat in my oatmeal to get it to a creamy consistency and to fill me up. I'm lactose intolerant and usually don't put milk in my oatmeal, but some coconut oil usually helps. Maybe their oatmeal is not the quick oat variety? Either way, it wasn't good.\n\nThey also have terrible tops for their cups. I actually had a conversation with them once about how their tops are leaky, and they basically said \"we're not changing them, environment, blah\", which is... eh. What can you do? Bring your own cup, and you'll save yourself $0.50 and the hassle to spilling coffee on yourself. \n\nIn terms of their service, I've been in there a bunch of times (several times a week since they've opened), and I have yet to feel like they know me. Maybe they are still too new to have \"regulars\", but they are really just hitting baseline friendliness to everyone in the store. Even the Starbucks people, who see several hundred people, if not more, a day are friendlier than they are. Hell, even the Dunkin' Donuts people remember me, and I rarely go in there!",
"When the line at Starbucks is 20 deep in the mornings, I've often found the line here is nearly nonexistant and, on occasion, space is available to actually sit down on the cool wooden tables. That's worth at least 3 stars right there. \n\nThe interior is very hipster and I have yet to see anyone actually browsing the clothes, but it's a good vibe overall. I bet they'd make more money by throwing out the clothing and just adding more space to sit. Service has been average to good--some of the baristas still seem a bit new and that's fine. \n\nThe pastries are the star here. The cinnamon sticks are very filling and the buttercream-injected donuts are fantastic. \n\nThe problem here, which I've confirmed by talking with some others who tried it, is the coffee itself--it's not good. Maybe better than Starbucks, but inferior to Joe, Hubbub, and even Wawa. I've had a couple of different roasts and they're all lacking in flavor. Espresso drinks were alright, but nothing special either. Apple Cider was straight out of the plastic container , which isn't really worth it either.\n\nThe other reason I can't quite give them a higher rating is that it's also rather pricey overall. While I can live with higher prices for higher quality, right now it's not yet there for the coffee/espresso side of things. \n\nI'll certainly be back on occasion (Hubbub remains my #1 coffee place near campus) and hope to see the coffee side of things improve here.",
"Most unbiased review!\n-Mediocre beverages for unreasonable price :(\n-comfortable, hipster decor & variety selection of music include oldies, indie, upbeat, calming, etc. Suitable for studying. \n-Slow service, but customers could browse the magazines, photography books and clothes while waiting.",
"Their cappuccino is reply good although for done a bit bitter. Tastes better If you stay there and drink it",
"I just tried this place out again and their espresso is still pretty sour! They need to get an expert or two in there to see what's going on. Maybe reddit can help: http://www.reddit.com/r/barista/comments/1rf6dc/sour_espresso_shots/",
"I come here way too much haha. Perfect study space if you enjoy a bit of coffee house music. Especially they have more than enough plugs! Pastry is fabulous, yogurt with granola also awesome too. \n\nIn terms of price, I think it's worth it especially if you think about their pledge of removing a pound of trash from water with every purchase. Glad that I'm enjoying my coffee/a good study space & also helping the ocean :)\n\nIf there's one thing I slightly didn't like was that when they first opened it was literally freezing inside haha. But a lot better now."

"We had the opportunity to visit Wasabi on Sunday night. They opened in the old Woody's BBQ building. They have hibachi style tables as well as a sushi bar. \n\nI'll keep this review short because we were not very impressed and may just be because it was only there fifth day of being open. We ordered four rolls in total a Mexican, Spicy Tuna, a Volcano and a Love roll. I tried all the rolls and found all of them quite bland. I was mostly disappointed with the Volcano roll with the baked crab on top was very dry and not a lot of flavor. We had our 2 year old daughter with us and we ordered her a beef soba which consisted of small pieces of beef and some noddles for $12 for a kids meal. 4 rolls 1 kids meal and 2 beers and a coke = $76.",
"I tried to give this restaurant a chance. I've been here total of three times and today was the last time I'll ever be there. Food is fine but the service is absolutely horrible. They don't seem to care about their customer service and practically rushed me and my mom out the door. I thought that was rude. This restaurant will not make it.",
"I really had some high hopes for this restaurant, however, this was a truly ridiculous and overpriced experience unlike any other. \n The customer service: terrible. We had reserved a spot at the sushi bar, but upon arrival, the waitress just pointed in the direction of the bar and told us to sit there.\n The sushi was actually decent, though a little overpriced. We ordered off the menu for our main. I have to say that the waitress was pretty rude. My husband got the steak hibachi from the kitchen. The steak was just fair. I ordered the Beef Soba, which is a Japanese buckwheat noodle, and the menu even described it as \"Japanese brown noodle\". What arrived was a huge plate of mushy thin egg noodle with overlooked beef and a store bought, way too salty sauce. One waitress stopped to ask how things were. After I politely stated my disappointment with the noodles and why, we were subjected to three lengthy encounters with wait staff and the manager... Not to address my concerns or to ask if there was something else I would like for dinner, but to scrutinize the menu and prove to me that Soba could mean just about anything at any restaurant. The manager even went so far as to bring out a cellophane package of Yakisoba noodles, kind of like cheap ramen, which can be purchased in any Asian market for 99 cents. To cap off an already epic evening, we were told by our waitress that we would have to pay two bills because we ordered sushi from the bar where we sat, but the main course from the wait staff. \n Since we went in their first week of business, we were prepared to give it another try, but after reading these other reviews, it's highly unlikely that we will risk wasting our money here. The one star rating is for the sushi only. This business will not last. Too bad.",
"We thought we can give this place a chance despite the low rating. Boy, we were wrong...The service was horrible and the food was not even that good. The waitress never once smile the whole time she was helping us. It looks like she doesn't want us there. We order the lunch special during lunch time around 1:30pm, and they charge us dinner prices. We won't go back here or recommend this place to anyone.",
"My best friend and I went Wednesday Nov 20th. Sat at the sushi bar, ordered water and some wine. Our drinks were fast. We ordered 5 rolls, Madame Butterfly, Sexy, Naturo, Mexican and Dragon roll. We got them one at a time, which was nice because it kept us hungry for more. The plates were set up very nice and the sushi was amazing, nothing at all what I expected from a little place in Plant City. The server messed up a few things on our bill, so we had to sit longer than we wanted to until it was fixed. The sushi was great and very well prepared, the service could've been a bit better, but all in all a great sushi place. Can't wait to go again and try more.",
"Very nice, clean restaurant. Service was great. Food was super. Nice sized portions on sushi rolls and sashimi. Very, very fresh raw fish. Very attractive platings and dining room ambiance. I did not experience the hibatchi tables, but as an experienced sushi eater I believe it is better than Gosh! in Lakeland which I have been visiting for 8 years now, and, as good as Nobu in both Manhattan and Miami, and Moromito in Philly. I highly recommend this establishment. I will be a frequent visitor, and I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed in the sushi. It's the most satisfying Japanese cuisine I've eaten to date in the entire Tampa Bay Area.",
"Food was very good and the service was great. Don't take the kids there if it's slow, or don't go if you don't like offensive language. I will say it was slow, we went in for lunch on a Sunday, and the Bartender had to flamboyantly explain that he was the \"Bitch\", and dropped several F- Bombs, and was just distracting. They must not have had a manager there, because I would hope someone would have told him to shut the hell up.\n\nAside from that the food and service were great.",
"It's about time plant city has a Japanese steak house and sushi restaurant. My mom and I only had the sushi and it was fabulous! Very fresh and the rolls are huge! The waiters and waitresses are extremely friendly and make you feel at home. Will be going back for sure!",
"Two more sushi dinner experiences. Fantastic! Fantastic! Fantastic! Looks like a pattern of consistency here. Unbelievably fresh! It's not cheap, but you're getting excellent quality and a great portion size for the money. It's well worth every last penny if you know anything about sushi. If you want cheap sushi try the local bait and tackle store.",
"The sushi was great! Hibachi even better!The bartender is beautiful!! If you catch both bartenders together they are hilarious! I enjoy the ambiance of the place, they are affordable and it definitely brings a Lil class to plant City"

"Walked in here today-- this location replaced an old coffee shop, Lovers and Madmen, where I used to buy my coffee beans. This location (they have several in West Philadelphia) also serves coffee beans options-- several, including an espresso option which I thought was fun. They also had sandwiches in their display (not a ton) as well as other non-coffee drinks. The place for seating isn't super huge, but they have more comfy seating (couches) compared to the nearby coffee shops.",
"Can tell this is going to be one of my new go-to places in University City! A beautiful, clean location. Music/soundtrack was on point. Seating is limited, but there are outlets strategically placed on the ground near the tables which helps. Wifi is smooth and strong. It feels nice and comfortable!\n\nDrinks are solid, and there is an amazing selection of food/pastries that I am dying to try (including a sweet potato burrito, turkey croissant sandwich, goat cheese croissants and almond croissants, and a halloumi cheese sandwich). There are also tons of muffins and donuts, and gluten-free bagels!\n\nWill update my review once I try some of the food, but I already have such high hopes for this spot!",
"Coffee is usually pretty good, and I'm a sucker for the discount day-old pastries, even though there usually aren't any vegan ones left. The staff are always super friendly. It's really close to my west philly home, but it's usually completely overrun with loud college kids, and the bathrooms consequently can get a bit skeezy. Also, I was pretty disappointed that this (albeit small) chain took over an independent shop in my area. I try to stick to non-chain establishments.",
"One of my favorite places for studying on (the edge of) Penn's campus. Free wifi and abundant power outlets. It's a welcome relief on sweltering days - the place remains cool and offers a range of chilled beverages, with my favorite being its Iced Tea (today's was Green Tea). Make sure to get here early on the weekends to grab a table, because it's a pretty popular studying/work spot.",
"Having visited the other two Green Lines in West Philly (45th + Locust, 43rd + Baltimore), I am surprised that I am giving a Green Line 5 stars! This one beats the other two by far. I would give the other two locations that I've been to 3 stars.\n\nFriendly baristas, spaces by the window to bask in the sun while working, outlets everywhere, comfortable seating, reliable wi-fi, clean bathroom, takes credit cards, reasonable prices...all of these pros would have sold me already. Add in the surprisingly GOOD COFFEE, and I was done for.\n\nTheir regular brew is smooth and excellent. I also have had an iced Americano which hit the spot after a walk in the warm weather. Solid wheat everything Bagel. My friend loves their iced tea, although I have never gotten that since I am partial to coffee.\n\nA big plus is that even though this is on the outskirts of Penn campus, it isn't teeming with undergrads. Not that there is anything wrong with them, but it is rather pleasant to be surrounded by other grad students or working professionals, as well as some good older mix of people. A very pleasant contrast to the often overcrowded undergrad scene at Saxby's down the street.",
"Sandwiches are good but they are not made to order so if you go in the afternoon they might not have what you want.\n\ni had the turkey croissant and it was decent; not sure if it was worth the $6.75 though.\n\nAlso not a lot of seating - lots of people camping out here to study",
"I came here on a Tuesday afternoon after passing by a few times and realizing that some \"new place\" had replaced Lovers and Madmen. \n\nI ordered the sweet potato burrito which the waitress heated up on the grill for me since it was not made on the spot. I liked the burrito but wouldn't get it again. It was a decent amount of food for $4.75. \n\nI think the draw in this place is if you're looking to get some work done while drinking a caffeinated drink of some sort. I really liked the chill vibe of the cafe and I could tell that a lot of the patrons enjoyed being there to study and do work. Limited seating though so tough for larger groups of people.",
"I like Green Line Cafe so much more than I liked Lovers and Madmen (sorry, fans of L&M). The entire space looks like it had a face-lift. The café feels cleaner and updated and it's now a great place for a business meeting or just a quiet place to get some work done. There aren't too many food options so maybe don't go there hungry or expecting much variety, but the coffee does the trick.",
"I am actually reviewing the new location that just opened up on 17th and Arch! I am so thrilled that a decent coffee shop where you can sit and used wi-fi that is not a massive chain opened less than half a block from where I live! I love love love the coffee here - - it brings me back to my time spent living in Europe - - and the pastries are freshly baked and delicious. This place is a bit pricey and on top of it each transaction encourages you to fill out a tip amount when paying with credit card So between the slightly just slightly inflated prices and tips you are going to be at a higher price point than Starbucks but this is soo soo soo much better so it is worth it! I could drink this coffee every morning and have been!",
"I've only been to this location once (I've been to the Baltimore location a few times), but as a general note, Green Line has good coffee and AMAZING muffins. Actually, I've only gotten the apple cinnamon muffins here, so I can't really say I've had a wide sampling of the food they have, but these muffins are probably one of the best I've had. The perfect blend of crunchy, soft, sweet, and tart. Need to eventually try the other items on the menu, but I just can't stop myself from getting what I know is good here.\n\nAs for the location itself, I really like the atmosphere here. There's a lot of space, but Green Line still manages to stay cozy. There are outlets in one of the corners, as well as some on the floor, so if you need your laptop to get some studying done, you'll have no problem doing it here. Surprisingly, this place is less crowded than I'd expect it to be (which is a plus for me). Free Wifi (just ask for the password) and no credit minimum!\n\nNice little spot to grab some coffee or get some studying done. Even though it's pretty close to Penn's campus, it's not swarming with Penn students (which can be nice sometimes)."

"Woooooah, who thought of this? Give them a hug. \n\nI wasn't really sure what to expect, but it's basically a super fruit smoothie with lots of toppings, served in a chilled bowl. \n\nNo ice, fro yo, added sugar, artificial crap, teams fats, etc.\n\nWhatever you get, SAY YES TO THE PEANUT BUTTER DRIZZLE.\n\n I do wish they had a small size. The medium is pretty big.\n\nNote: they take about 7-10 mins to make so be prepared to wait. It's worth it though.",
"I just went to vitality bowl for the first time. The lady working there asked me had I been before I said no. She offered me a sample of the graviola smoothie. I look at the large menu and it sounds alright. I try the sample and it's pretty tasty so I decide to try this smoothie. While waiting for the smoothie to be made I read the smaller menu on the side board (size of 8.5x11 piece of paper) and it specifically says that this smoothie is not to be consumed by pregnant women. I am 7.5 months pregnant and have a huge belly! I'm pissed! The lady didn't have any clue about the health risk and offered me the only smoothie on the menu that I couldn't have. Also the total was ~$7.50. Not going back to this restaurant!",
"I have been long lamenting the fact that even in the world full of \"healthy, organic, local\" chatter the choices of restaurants serving fast and healthy remain scarce. For that reason just the name \"Vitality Bowls\" was enough to walk in after dinner and at least find out - what are those mysterious bowls?\n\nTook home and studied the menu full of mysterious vocabulary ( Guarana, Acerola, Graviola, Spirilina) but still did not form a mental picture until I finally tried it. The concept is different: thick acai based smoothie on the bottom, fresh strawberries, bananas, granola and honey on top. The whole concept is held together by the firm texture of the smoothie that claims to have no fillers (ice, juice or yogurt), just frozen fruit and veggies. Smoothie tastes spot on as well - not too sweet, not too bland.\n\nThe bowl is big enough to be a meal, but I took an \"insurance\" in panini for hungry kids. A bowl shared by three people and three paninis worked well. The Olympian panini sporting peanut butter, bananas, honey and crunchy granola was our favorite.\n\nGood concept, but two weaker points in the business model - 1) price (~$10 per bowl) and 2) the time it takes to prepare (10 min for our paninis and a bowl). I would be more inclined to stop by in the morning and try the breakfast version if that time could be shorter. As it is, will save for a weekend splurge.",
"Best acai bowls I've had ever had! Staff is super nice and welcoming! Can't wait to come back!",
"Great food, but our service was ridiculously slow. It took more than a half an hour for 2 bowls. The cashier didn't communicate the time delay. I'll never come here again",
"The service in this place is very slow. The owner should work there from time to time at lunch. The register person was not very helpful. I went with 4 people and the wait was 18 minute and the food came out at different times. I understand they are individually made but that seemed long. They also said they were out of spinach for a salad, but both sandwiches that came out after had spinach. \n\nThe food quality was great, but expensive. If the service was faster I wouldn't have an issue with the price. I will try it again now that I know what to expect.",
"I can't stop going here! They have the best acai bowls I've had. They don't put too much granola on top like some of the places I've been to and they offer a variety of toppings. The dragon bowl is my go-to; the dried gogi berries on top provide a wonderful crunch. The workers are extremely friendly; however, it is true that the service can be extremely slow if there is a line. They need to start a rewards program because I go here entirely too much! Don't forget to go online and print out coupons before you come!",
"Sounded kinda yucky. Thought I'd try it. Oh...my....gosh. Literally HEAVEN!!!!!!!!! My favorite place to eat-nutty bowl with pb on top is amazing!honestly the base of acai tastes almost the same in any bowl no matter what they put in it do don't let the weird mixed of broccoli Etc turn u off. U can't taste it. \nIt's kinda like a fruit sorbet on bottom wkth crunch granola on top then fruit. \nWe tried the gluten free ham panini. Definitely don't waste youre money. Not worth it. There's one slice of ham and cheese. It's not bad tasting just nothing to it and skimpy for the price. \nBut the bowls are worth it. Pricey but yum!",
"I'll admit, I've always gotten the smoothies so I can't comment on the bowls, but the smoothies are AMAZING. Good consistency (I'm not even bothered by the nibs in the Temptation) and they Always make me feel 10x better. Add a panini to make it more filling. The only thing I don't like is the stark decor, TVs, and chilly air conditioning (but that's not enough to change my 5 star rating).",
"Definitely my favorite place in Indy so far. I'm addicted to the dragon bowl. A bowl and panini fill me up completely & I always feel comfortable afterwards & not bloated. I only wish there were more locations. I think business for this establishment would be booming if there were a location downtown and in broad ripple. Please make it happen!"

"I was here recently (7/31) on a week day for lunch. My order was to go and I got a gyro and the spanakopita. Here's the deal: A gyro is one of my very favorite meals so I never think they are bad but this one was excellent. The meat was flavorful, the tzatziki sauce was cold and tasty, and the pita bread was fresh. The spanakopita was also delicious. The crust was flaky and the filling was rich just like it should be. It's really an odd location and had I not been using my GPS I would have missed it but I'm very glad I found it.",
"The food is without a doubt 5 stars. The only reason I gave it a 4 is because it's a hole in the wall connected to a gas station. Best Gyro I've ever had (sorry Olympia). Everything there is made in house and it you can tell. Will be making this a weekly stop for sure.",
"The shop is little (hence the name). The food is VERY tasty. The portions are great. And the service is awesome. My new favorite delicacy. \nDon't let the location veer you away. It may be a little place connected to a gas station, but it's amazing food!\nStart at the top of the menu, and work your way down each time. Everything is delicious!",
"This is a little gem. Not a huge menu but what they serve is very good. Chicken souvlaki in a grilled pita, tzatiki, Greek salad, gyro-- all were excellent. Nice owners, too. Small done in area or take out. Will definitely be back.",
"This place is excellent! I've owned restaurants in the past so know how to evaluate. Aside from the obvious spotlessly cleanliness it's excels with the gyro as well. I brought my wife here and now am forced to pick up to go for her all the time. I don't mind. Everything is very fresh, especially the tzatziki. This is where most gyro places fail. They don't make their own tzatziki. Would u accept a Mexican restaurant that didn't have fresh homemade salsa?! Everything is fresh and homemade here which depressed them. I highly recommend this place!",
"The place is great! It is a little shop connected to the ZX gas station, but please don't let the deter you. \n\nI've been here twice and the food is amazing. I am a sucker for Greek food, so when I saw this place open so close to work I couldn't wait to try it. The first time I stopped in an hour before closing and had my order of 2 gyros and baklava to go. The second time we stopped in for lunch. We had fries, a big and fat gyro and regular gyro and dined in. \n\nIT IS SO GOOD! All the employees are nice and helpful. This will become a regular lunch spot for me.",
"This is the epitome of a hole in the wall joint, located to the side of a gas station. Always experienced quick service and the gyros are delicious. The pita comes with a bed of crispy potatoes, a heaping amount of beef/lamb gyro meat, a few slices of tomatoes, onions and Taziki sauce. The potatoes (not fries) are always super fresh, crispy and seasoned to perfection. \n\nThey do NOT offer ketchup here, so sneak some in at your own risk ;)",
"The food and service are excellent. I have been here twice. There are four booths only. We get mainly takeout. The food is amazing. You must try this place. Just a minute off I 44.",
"I had driven by many times and finally made it! What a hidden gem. The owners and food couldn't be more outstanding. Fresh flavors and delicious combinations did not disappoint. The tzatziki sauce was the finest I have encountered. My gyro on grilled pita bread was generous and super tasty. The seasoned Patates were to die for!! And....they were in my gyro! The baklava was sweet, buttery and decadent. We even tried the rich and meaty beef orzo soup. There are 4 tables of 4 in the 'deli' so you can eat in or carry out if you like. They serve food from 10-7 mon-sat. Please add this to you go-to fare. The owners Olga and Danny are wonderful people with great pride in their food and operation at this location and their food truck. I can't wait to go back. So glad I live close but in would definitely travel to get here! Cheers Olga and Danny!",
"Best gyro ever!!!! The meat, fried potato, tzatziki sauce and tomato wrapped in a grilled pita bread. It was very flavorful. My husband and I each ordered one. It's so good, we ordered one more to share. We will definitely go back again."

"Savaya's latest Coffee Market is the size of a stamp, but remember great things come in small packages and this is no exception.\n\nThe decor is just awesome with reclaimed wood for the walls, the signature mesquite bar and what I'd describe as \"Edison\" light pendants. Very NorthWestish...\n\nThe coffee comes from the Williams Center (original) store where it's roasted several times daily. The staff is vibrant and the coffee is well, Savayan off the hook.\n\nEasily one of the top three coffee shops in all of Arizona, way ta go Savaya Coffee Market.",
"Savaya is doing coffee right. Working at La Encantada gives me the chance to patron here often. The owner visits each of the farms he sources from to ensure that all coffee is fair trade, organic and shade grown. \n\nI have heard some complaints about the quality of the espresso beverages from co-workers, but I am old school drip coffee. \n\nI do wish they had more serving options, pour over (Chemex) is my fav right now, but I have to settle for regular drip at Savaya. La Encantada needed a quality café. AJs \"boulangerie\" wasn't cutting it for me.\n\nCompare to Cartel. Local roasters doing it right!",
"Located in La Encantada, this small coffee shop serves up a big coffee. I'd highly recommend their Science Coffee. This is coffee comes out of a wicked looking contraption and I'm told takes 6 hours to brew. It's a cold brew and includes no heat at all and is much more concentrated than your typical brew. It also has less acidity due to this brewing process. \n\nBe warned though this shop is small, very small, so having a meeting here isn't something I'd recommend.",
"Finally... coffee in Tucson worth drinking. By far the best coffee available. At $2.18 for a cup of joe from rare coffee locales around the world, it is worth a try. Their beans are roasted weekly, so you are sure to get a fresh cup.\n\n2 ideas for management - An unlimited brewed coffee club for $30 and offering pour-over (Chemex) coffee to the menu would bring value and variety to your customers.",
"So stoked to have Savaya Coffee in the foothills! The only difference is that it's a lot smaller than the Broadway store. The interior is modern and cozy at the same time, the service is friendly as ever, and they have wi-fi here too! I bought a 1/2 pound of their Bolivian Espresso Blend..a little steep at $9.00 but totally worth it in my opinion. Great quality organic free trade coffee beans are always worth the price, and when the service and coffee are so good....price comes last.",
"Yep, this coffee rocks. FANTASTIC tasting coffee. Good service. Lovely location. The only misisng piece to this puzzle is the seating...needs a bit more. There's room outside - put more tables please!!!\n\nThere is nothing like the taste of a fantastic cup of coffee - not the bitter over priced stuff that Tucson is used to (oh gee, did someone mention Starbucks???). Savaya offers a lovely, fresh cup full of aromatics for a reasonable price. And they offer it with a smile. Again, a big plus.\n\nThank you for this coffee shop in my hood.",
"The second Savaya in La Encantada is the biggest disappointment ever. The tiny space does not welcome you the same way the original location does. And does not have the same equipment for different brewing preparations. Most importantly my cappuccino came in a 16oz cup with warm milk; the milk was not properly frothed and no foam was on top! I'll never come here again.",
"When I go to La Encantada, previously the choices for purchasing coffee were across the street at Starbucks, inside of Frost ( who goes there for coffee and doesn't get a cup of gelato to go with!?) or at AJ's Market. I have been three times to Savaya and every time has been an oasis. I have twice enjoyed lattes inside and a one visit I ordered a carmel latte to go(***the best caramel latte I recall having ever). The coffee beans are locally roasted and quite rich in body. Both my husband and I think this place is great. \n\nSadly this place has very little inside space and three outside tables. So if you are looking to pick up a cup and walk around La Encantada, this place is the ticket!",
"It's fairly easy for me to brew myself a good cup of joe at home, but when I go to a coffee shop - I go for more than just good coffee. I go for the atmosphere and comfort. The drip coffee here was good, I did enjoy it, but it was simply good coffee -nothing to drive out the way for in my opinion. It was a little over the top bold for my taste buds, but that wasn't the main issue, rather it was that the shop was just cramped.\n\nThere is only a single bar where a handful of patrons can sit and a few tables outside. There is nothing about this Savaya that screams comfort. Three people came into this store at once and I thought Tucson PD was going to come and write a ticket for violating it's maximum occupancy. If you just want some coffee and you want it on the go, then by all means make a stop here. But if you are coming to read a book or get some work done, I would suggest avoiding this place. It takes very little for this place to become busy and crowded.\n\nI haven't been to the original Savaya...maybe I should check that out.",
"Savaya Coffee is the best coffee on the face of the earth. We love their coffee so much we drive over 100 miles each way to buy our coffee. I never leave Tucson without visiting one of their locations...just wish they had a store in Phoenix! The bean gurus hit a home run here."

"This used to be a Sunshine Cafe. It's now a non-chain restaurant. Friendly down-home service. I'm not sure what American restaurant to compare it to. Better and homier than a Denny's. A little higher-class than a Stake-n-Shake. Warmer ambience.\n\nReally good hamburgers, salads, and chicken dishes.\n\nI'm more into ethnic food these days, but when I'm in the mood for regular American cusine, this is a nice spot to eat with family or friends.\n\nThis place used to be a Sunshine Cafe. But it's now independently owned.",
"My wife and I ate here and we enjoyed it. The interior is pretty cool. It's decorated with a lot of vintage things. Our waitress was nice. We ordered breakfast food for dinner. My wife ordered her usual, eggs and toast, and I ordered my usual, french toast and eggs. Both meals were delicious. We also were able to save $2 off our bill with a coupon that we printed off from their website. Their website is: www.madisongrillindy.com We liked this place so much, that we will definitely go back again.",
"Hey breaded tenderloin lovers! Read on. \nWe stopped in Madison Grill recently for 2 reasons: fried catfish and breakfast served all day. Our super-friendly server, after learning that it was our first time there, gave us a few recommendations and the one that she really stressed was the breaded tenderloin. Thank goodness I listened to her because it was really great! A generous sized piece of pork, pounded to the right thickness, very tender, thickly battered and fried extra crispy. The bun was just ho-hum but the quality of the fried pork and the \"works\" toppings made up for that. (see the picture I posted.) The hubby got the fried catfish dinner. He was happy with it. They only serve catfish filets and we prefer the whole catfish but I tried it and thought it was really good. Neal P's review on Yelp pretty much sums up the down-home atmosphere of this place. Looking through their menu I noticed that all of the food prices are extremely reasonable. They also carry some bottle beer and some wine by the glass. The beers we ordered sadly were not cheap but they weren't over-priced. Would we go back? Yes. The tenderloin alone is reason to return. And, we didn't try anything from the breakfast menu. And, they have fried green tomatoes.",
"This is an average mom-and-pop type of place. The food is pretty good, and the service is satisfactory. I've never had a \"bad\" meal at Madison Grill, but never one I'd rave about. To be honest, I couldn't tell you what I've ordered in the past. While I like the place, it would never be my first choice. However, it is not a bad, and relatively inexpensive place to grab lunch.",
"This is a surprisingly decent diner on the south side of Indy.\n\nThe grouper sandwich is pretty good. The same breading is used on the fried green tomatoes, which are OK. The tomatoes themselves don't seem to be all that flavorful, but the breading is good. \n\nFrench fries and grilled cheese are good. \n\nIt's a diner, so I don't expect gourmet, and we will be back!",
"On Sat 7/28 had a chance with a buddy to stop by and grab some lunch. Both of us went the steak route. I went with the NY Strip, my buddy with the Ribeye. Along with that came a salad and a side along with warm bread and cinnimon butter. \n\nBoth meals were right on target and timely. The salads come out and were very nice and the appropriate amount of time was permitted to eat at a nice pace before our meal was sent out. Both steaks were perfect and very tasty. Overall a great meal, with a prompt and good server.",
"Have visited this restaurant quite a few times over the years and decided to try it out last night before a movie. As always they do a good job in basic grill/diner type foods. Had the appetizer mushrooms (with cocktail sauce), red wine (very surprised to see they serve alcohol (beer & wine only), and salmon (which comes with two sides and bread). Amazingly good prices for all the entrees such as the salmon being around $10.00. \n\nGood choice for families along with single diners since its a big restaurant (tables on two sides along with counter seats). \n\nFree wifi!\n\nStaff provides good service. \n\nIf you are looking for simple diner food its definitely the place to go - although I believe they close at 900p every night.",
"This is definitely a Mom & Pop place. Nothing pretentious or ostentatious about this joint. Just good food. Well prepared,nicely portioned and nicely priced. Lunch for two was $17;including the burdensome tax you must pay for eating out in Marion County. My buddy had a chicken and noodle special. It came with 2 sides and a mini loaf of wheat bread. This guy is pretty finicky and he enjoyed everything. In an effort to \"watch my diet\" I ordered a salad. Of course it was a Cobb Salad. That is, in addition to a big bowl of chopped Romaine lettuce it was covered with wide columns of the other ingredients. Bleu cheese crumbles,chopped egg,diced ham and tomato and crisp bacon pieces. And I don't mean Ba cos. Now that is my kind of salad. Enough veggies to assuage your guilt and enough good stuff for you to enjoy it.",
"First time going here and let me just say it is nothing fancy. If you are looking for a down home place like you would find out in the middle of nowhere then this is it. Our waitress was very friendly and the food came out hot, our sandwiches were so big that we did not go away hungry.",
"My sister just moved to Indy, and we stumbled upon this as our first try at a local eatery. We started with breakfast...and were not disappointed. They have the BEST pancakes ever, and I would recommend ordering them with blueberry topping. We returned for dinner a couple days later, and discovered their awesome breaded tenderloin. Fried green tomatoes were a homey appetizer, but I wish they were served with a more interesting dip than ranch dressing. Nice menu selection...and I recommend the banana cream pie. We will visit this place again I'm sure. (I want to try their prime rib weekend special.). Servers are very friendly...kid friendly place as well. Try it if you don't want fancy...but want a comfortable experience."

"So far I've only tried the donuts. Donuts are .85 or .90, and more for the bigger varieties. We've had the peanut butter log (or roll, can't remember which its called), apple fritter, and donut holes. \n\nI didn't find anything to knock my socks off, but its nice to have this in the neighborhood. There are about 10-12 parking spots which may be limiting when the 3rd store opens there. I think I saw around 8 high top tables for in-store dining; I think they should substitute 1-2 lower height tables, for handicapped people or for a family with small children.",
"Finally, a good doughnut place in Northwest Reno. \n\nI love how their cases are always filled with doughnuts. I've had their coconut raised, strawberry filled, raspberry filled, and lemon filled doughnuts. All delicious and decedent. It will be difficult not making trips to Doughboys.",
"This is an outstanding donut shop and a great addition to the Northwest Reno shopping scene. I've yet to have a donut from there that was not absolutely perfect. Soft, yummy, cake donuts. Some of the best I've had anywhere. Go here, you'll like it.",
"5 stars if it wasn't for the prices. $$$ Get here early because they do sell put of the most popular doughnuts. The peanut butter log is the best doughnut I've ever had and it's huge. I can only eat half. They also have breakfast pastries such as chocolate filled croissants which until recently I had a difficult time finding in Reno.",
"the place to go for donuts in reno, easy in and easy out, love this place and when i bring a box to work, smiles galore!!!",
"OMG so good!! Great selection, friendly staff, supersized donuts, good coffee, good prices; and best yet a small mom and pop place unlike that cookie cutter dunkin place. .... Damn; now I wanna go there and get a maple bar!!",
"For those of you that know Stan's Donuts in Santa Clara, CA and Baker Ben's in Roseville - two of the top shops in those cities. This is it for Reno. Doughboy's has such a cult following for a reason. Doughnut holes are larger than the donuts themselves and the variety is plenty. You've got to get there early to get one of the Nevada Wolfpack Paws (sorry Boise St. fans). A great addition to NW Reno.",
"i wanted to try this place for awhile so i decided to try it. i was disappointed. i had a couple of the white cake donuts with coffee and the donuts were nothing special and lacked some taste. as a matter of fact the donuts may have been a little stale and the chocolate didnt have much taste and to make it worse the coffee wasnt even hot. i took it to go so i just threw the coffee out.",
"After my last review I was contacted by the owner who took responsibility for my initial bad experiance which i really appreciated so I tried it again this past Saturday with different results. I liked the donuts, I got 1 devils food cake and 1 white cake donut and both were fresh and tasty and the coffee was hot so I will go back",
"We wanted a doughnut and wanted to try some place we have never been, so this place won by default.\n\nNice sized business and décor with good display of product.\n\nVery pleasant young man who put up with our blithering while ordering.\n\nNow on to the actual doughnut, ok doughnuts I mean who can only eat one. Well each one we tried at the moment was light and delicious. The others we took home and consumed the next day were of equal yumminess and often doughnuts do not last well. \n\nI really can not speak of price since I do not remember what was paid, but I guess that means it did not stick me as out of bounds."

"all right, nashville... \n\nif you didn't know by now, the taco stands you see on the side of the road are (for the most part) INCREDIBLE. i can understand if you're reluctant to try them, as they really aren't too terribly inviting. this particular joint would be a perfect \"first timer's\" place to check out street meat tacos. they've cleaned up this spot quite a bit. i remember stopping here many nights after 3am in anything but sober condition. back then, it was just a motorized stand/cart/truck like the others. they now have seating and a card machine. woooo!\n\nanyway, for lunch, you can get a half chicken, a gang of rice, a gang of beans, homemade tortillas, and a couple of times, fresh cut fries(??) for SIX DOLLARS! this is a criminal amount of food for next to nothing. and it's sooooo good. as far as the tacos go, i'm an al pastor man, and the al pastor here is second only to san luis. the horchata here is a little heavy (i'm not really much of a fan, anyway), and they charge you for each can of soda you get.\n\nanways, you get the deal. great food, great prices, and they speak english for the non-spanish-speaking-types. check it out asap!\n\neric b",
"just an update...\n\nthe great nashville taco price war of 2009 has reached tacos lopez. they are NINETY NINE CENTS EVERY DAY!! i just decimated an order for the first time in a while and they were a mite better than i remember. show this and all taqueria lopez locations some love, nashville. the best tacos around for real.\n\neric b",
"Happened upon this little place quite by accident, on a cross-country trek in the middle of a TN ice storm! Road rage opined that we diverge from the highway. The weather was so bad that most establishments were taking a snow day, but this warm and inviting place turned out to be just what we were looking for. We had good service and great food, despite the initial stares. I suppose they really were not expecting a couple of harried yankee lezbos to show up for lunch, so I do not blame them. I had a torta de barbacoa: scrumptious fresh grilled torta bun filled with melt-in-your-mouth marinated bbq pork, avocado, tomato, lettuce, and salsa! Co-road warrior had the roasted half-chicken (with rice and beans) and it was even better. it was the perfect amount of salty and roast-y with a nice hint of herby and mild spicy. I wanted to sit there eating it all day. Both came with a nice radish slaw. The ambiance was typical, napkin-dispensers-on-every-table casual. I'm almost glad our trip took an extra 4 hours because this place was worth it! They also have a fun selection of sodas in glass bottles- some are imported and might even be made with real cane sugar!",
"So I went and got some tacos at the place, and they were decent. I got in, and even though the place looked like a fast food place from the outside, it functioned more like a mexican place with a waitress once inside.\n\nShe took my order, and got me my food with reasonable speed, and when I got back to work, the tacos are tasty, but small. I didn't think they worth $1 apiece, but that's just me. Perhaps I'll go back and try the burrito at some point, but I was just a little disappointed with the tacos.",
"Lopez has a total of 6 other locations that I've counted in the greater Nashville area. They must be doing something right. \n\nThe tacos here are called \"authenticos\" for good reason. It's what you would find on any street in any city in Mexico. \n\n The al pastor and the carnita's really shine at Lopez. Add a touch of the red or green sauce and you're set. Their version of lingua (tongue) is very mild and tender, don't be afraid to try it. Imagine the texture of corned beef on a taco. \n\nThe addition of the caramelized onions really sets this place apart from so many of the other stands in Nashville.\n\nBe sure to get order an in-house made agua de pina.",
"so, then. i reviewed this place some time ago, i just had the info wrong:\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz/taco-lopez-2-nashville\n\non to my review:\n\nall right, nashville...\n\nif you didn't know by now, the taco stands you see on the side of the road are (for the most part) INCREDIBLE. i can understand if you're reluctant to try them, as they really aren't too terribly inviting. this particular joint would be a perfect \"first timer's\" place to check out street meat tacos. they've cleaned up this spot quite a bit. i remember stopping here many nights after 3am in anything but sober condition. back then, it was just a motorized stand/cart/truck like the others. they now have seating and a card machine. woooo!\n\nanyway, for lunch, you can get a half chicken, a gang of rice, a gang of beans, homemade tortillas, and a couple of times, fresh cut fries(??) for SIX DOLLARS! this is a criminal amount of food for next to nothing. and it's sooooo good. as far as the tacos go, i'm an al pastor man, and the al pastor here is second only to san luis. the horchata here is a little heavy (i'm not really much of a fan, anyway), and they charge you for each can of soda you get.\n\nanways, you get the deal. great food, great prices, and they speak english for the non-spanish-speaking -types. check it out asap!\n\neric b\n\naaaaand the update:\n\njust an update...\n\nthe great nashville taco price war of 2009 has reached tacos lopez. they are NINETY NINE CENTS EVERY DAY!! i just decimated an order for the first time in a while and they were a mite better than i remember. show this and all taqueria lopez locations some love, nashville. the best tacos around for real.\n\neric b",
"A friend at work introduced me to this place and it is a good thing too, otherwise I would be missing out! These tacos are excellent AUTHENTIC tacos! They also have some of the best quesadillas I've had. Portions are just right, 5 tacos for 5 dollars and I feel like I have over-eaten, and the ingredients are very high quality.",
"My favorite place for Mexican food (especially seafood) when I'm in the area. They have an excellent selection of Mexican refrescos and of course the Coke made with sugar instead of that other crap. THEY ALSO HAVE VEG OPTIONS! They used to not have sweet tea but recently started carrying it. I had the spice pork tacos and a seafood mix tostado with tea for under $10. The tacos are 99cents and are a bit smaller than most Americanized versions you are probably used to so order 1 or 2 more than you think you can eat. The spicy pork was delicious, well flavored and with enough meat and other toppings to make them adequate, they will come on corn tortillas so if you want other, specify! I have had several of they seafood tostados and they are freakin huge! You actually get another bare tostado to move some of the toppings onto and you'll need it. Service is great and even when packed usually don't have to wait long for my food.",
"Great taqueria! Went with some work folks from lunch. I was excited to see agua de horchata on the menu, it reminded me of Mexico. Of course I ordered it and it tastes just like Mexico, not the greatest but good enough to satisfy my craving. The waitress was very attentive and our orders came out fast. The menu had all of the traditional Tex-mex options: tacos, burritos, tortas (sandwiches), quesadillas, fajitas, etc. \n\nI ordered the fajitas de pollo (chicken fajitas) with a side of guac. It came with avocados, rice, beans, sour cream. The meat came with the traditional green peppers, onions and a lime slice. I mixed everything together, minus the peppers and onions. Tasted great!\n\nPretty darn good food and a great price.",
"Tacos sucked booo...they had cucumbers all over them when did mexicans start using them blah!"

"This TGI Friday's is located in a strip mall (near Pathmark and Home Depot) along US-13 northbound. It may be I went to this restaurant during a slack period in the late afternoon but I received by far the best service I've ever gotten at any TGI Friday's. The server was knowledgeable about the menu and helped me with the TGI Friday's email coupons that I'd brought in. At various times during the meal, she came back and suggested little things she could do provide would make my meal better. All I ordered was an appetizer and a salad but I felt like I had received first-class treatment. Of course, I have no idea what this place is like when it is busy but it sure was great when the place wasn't packed.",
"Over time I have been to many locations but have not been back to any of them for several years so this is my first Friday's experience in a long time. Passing through the area I had the Strawberry Fields Salad and was really quite pleased with it. The service was good and the food for everyone at the table seemed to be excellent.\n\nSince it has been so long I cannot compare it to any other locations but one thing is for sure -- if you are passing through and need a quick bite of some familiar food this could be a great place to stop.",
"During my most recent visit to this location my waiter seemed annoyed at the idea of serving my boyfriend and I. The only thing he ever physically put on our table were the drinks and the bill (which he brought out before we had even gotten our desserts). He was serving the tables around us and put all the plates for the area on a big tray. Instead of putting the tray on a stand and handing us our food (as is common practice in every restaurant EVER) he held the tray down for us and we had to fish our plates out of the pile. Ridiculous.",
"The food is good. The waitstaff could do better..smile people..I'm not giving u a nice tip just because. Stop acting so annoyed this is your job hello..price is good too. Always crowded though on weekends.",
"I've often wondered if employers actually read these reviews and or, use it in a constructive manner to address certain issues? Maybe employee's read them and remember the incidents? But I'm pretty sure at this location, the management and the staff can't read, so I'm not all that concerned.. Not that I don't appreciate my server at the bar, looking to pick up his future baby mamma, just not while I'm waiting to pay him and leave...",
"Service was slow. We waited at a table for 5 minutes before anyone acknowledged our existence. Our server was friendly. Food was standard fare. The servers stopped wearing flair :)",
"Typical chain restaurant with a waitress that doesn't listen. I had the New York bacon and cheddar burger. Of course it came out wrong but I didn't complain. The burger was nothing special; just a typical burger you can get at any chain. I would save your money and try going to a locally owned restaurant where the staff care about what their customers want.",
"I frequent this Friday's location due to it's proximity to my place of employment. It is your standard American chain restaurant with the usual bar-food offerings along with a full menu. \n\nWhat really makes this location stand out for me is the bar staff--they are the reason I keep going back. I never sit in the dining room of this restaurant because most of the bar staff is so wonderful! My drink and meal orders are promptly handled and I am always treated very nicely. You don't even need to order alcohol to sit over there, which is great!\n\nThe food is good, too. I've never ordered anything at Friday's that I didn't like. My boyfriend normally gets something from the Jack Daniel's menu which he is quite fond of, and I typically go for a burger or pasta. Their New York Cheddar and Bacon Burger is always good; it has a huge patty covered with cheese, crispy onion straws, crisp lettuce and all the other usual fixings. The Bruschetta Chicken Pasta is also pretty decent, it is a spaghetti dish topped with bruschetta, grilled chicken, and balsamic vinegar which makes for a savory combination. Sometimes the spaghetti is overcooked a little, but that doesn't happen too often.\n\nMy only complaint is the service in the dining room. It really does suck in comparison to the service in the bar area. My boyfriend and I sat in the dining room once and waited nearly 20 minutes without anyone taking our drink orders. We just picked up our stuff and moved to a table in the bar!",
"Long wait, waiter didnt have a pen when taking our order! My Girls food came out 10 minutes before mine, when mine came out it was the wrong order! Did not want any of the order. WE WALKED OUT! We will never go there AGAIN! Terrible experience!!!!!",
"The restaurant feels as though it is without direction. The service is indifferent and the management seems baffled. \n\nOur order was taken after we had been seated for some time. Our table did not have flatware/napkins or bread and butter dish, although we should not have expected those things because only a very few of the other empty/bussed tables had that set up. We spoke to a manager, (one of two, we were told) who were sitting at a table and appeared to be interviewing people, who apologized for this and went to get the flatware and plates.\n\nWhen the food arrived there was an error in the order.\n\nThe server left without giving us the opportunity to address the error in the order so we once again went to the now lone manager sitting at a table, and he said he would handle it. He came by the table and we asked for extra napkins and a refill of a coke.\n\nNone of that arrived at the table after about 10 more minutes. Our server said she knew nothing about it. A third visit was made to the manager who told us that the fries had to be cooked. We had finished our meal and just wanted to leave.\n\nThe server seemed baffled and the manager, who initially reduced the bill by 20% adjusted it to reflect a 50% reduction.\n\nHaving worked in the food industry, I was greatly disappointed by this experience and another person in our party said he would never return to this restaurant."

"The Pour House just opened, replacing the former Cheeseburger in Paradise in Exton, PA. I was very excited because I love a good craft beer selection, and theirs is amazing. I got the \"Sour in the Rye\" beer from The Bruery and it was out of this world. I also sampled \"Black and Blue\" by Dogfish Head and that was delicious as well.\n\nWe went at 6pm on a Thursday and even though the place was packed, my girlfriend and I were seated right away. We skipped appetizers and went right for our entrees. I ordered the \"Pour House Deluxe\" burger, which was a mixture of beef brisket, short rib, and chuck, topped with american cheese and bacon marmalade. I'm writing this review the day after and I still can't stop thinking about that burger. It might be the best burger I've ever had, seriously. The patty itself (I ordered it medium-well) was so flavorful I couldn't believe it. And bacon marmalade should be a staple at every restaurant, that stuff is incredible. I give the burger 5 stars!\n\nMy girlfriend ordered the \"Strawberry & Pea\" salad. She was unimpressed, said the mint overpowered everything and that the sugar snap peas made it difficult to eat.\n\nFor dessert, we ordered the fried s'mores!!! In theory, this should've been amazing, but in execution it was lacking. They were overdone (very deep brown and too crispy) and you could almost wring the oil from them. They were tasty, but the s'mores inside were really thin. I think if they added a little more filling and fried them just a tad less they have the potential to be amazing.\n\nOverall, our experience was very pleasurable. Very nice waitstaff and service, and we were impressed with how quickly our food was done given the large crowd. We really like the design and layout of the new restaurant and will definitely go back. I'll have a hard time ordering something else because I know how darn good that burger is, but can't wait to try something different. And of course, I look forward to seeing how their craft beer selection changes.",
"Nice change from cheeseburger in paradise. Excellent beer selection, in drafts and bottles...if you can't find it here you don't need it. The food was ok. My son loved his burger...I thought my shrimp tacos were skimpy with small cut up shrimp ( who does that?)....mt husband thought the kielbasa was uninspired. Good step up but not remarkable in any way.",
"great beer selection , good service , the food was on point .......we will be back",
"Wow! That's my thought...we went last night (Friday), waited maybe 20 mins for a table. The French fry appetizer \"fries with cheese and short rib gravy\" was unbelievable! OMG! A huge portion the three of us shared. Also had the perogies, 4 to the plate. They weren't anything incredible. Also had the soft pretzel bite appetizer that came with a beer/cheese dipping sauce that was very good. For dinner my Pour House deluxe burger had to probably be the best darn burger I've ever had! Charbroiled, and a huge patty that just oozed juicieness with plenty of cheese on a warm brioche bun. It is served with house made potato chips. Fries are an added charge if you want them in place of the chips. Their fries are really good and may even be house cut--fresh...not the battered/crispy crap a lot of restaurants are using. The others in the group had the chuck/short rib/beef patty burger. It has a name I forget...but very tasty too! Of course there must be a hundred beer selections, though, not a beer fan myself. My vodka/7 was real good...a nice pour. Good service...and the decor is fantastic! Definitely will be back!",
"It just opened, so I will be giving it a second chance, but wow...what an awful experience!\n\nFirst, we enter to the welcoming committee of four hostesses. Four hostesses on a Monday lunch? Really? Interesting...\n\nWe get our tiny table, now I know I shouldn't complain given that I work in restaurants and know there is a rhyme and reason for seating the way it is done. But, not on a Monday swing shift. \nOur waitress was nice, friendly...but this must be her first serving job. I was in shock at how bad of a waitress she was though. Serving is hard work, but it's a cake walk between 2-4, easy money. How could someone screw up so much?\n\nI ordered the Shrimp Tacos, my mother ordered pierogies. We weren't drinking, so yes, a small tab. \n\nWhat had to be at least 15-20 minutes, our food comes out, she puts my tacos in front of me, and a weird looking open faced sandwich in front of my mother...huge pieces of avocado and what I assumed was pulled pork, she said \"chicken sandwich\" \nSo, my mother informs her she had ordered the pierogies, she takes the dish back...I see her put the order in. I have zero clue how you mess that order up...but whatever. I begin to eat my chips and salsa that came with my tacos (GROSS salsa, what is it, just cilantro? Not edible.) I then look at my tacos...where's the shrimp? I realize she had sent me fish tacos. I could have sucked it up, but I'm a shrimp fan...it's what I wanted. I wouldn't order fish tacos because, like this dish appeared, just fish sticks in a taco. \nSo, she takes my plate, I see her ring up my order correctly. \nSo, our food came out more promptly this time. I notice while we are waiting that the manager has to speak to a guest at a table....so I assume there was an issue there as well (different server)\nOur food orders correct this time, we ate...not impressed, shocked that the manager didn't come apologize at the least (not looking for a hand out, some acknowledgement from management would have been nice though, especially since they were at another table with a different problem) \nOur check comes, we can see how she rang everything up wrong, but she shows us how she had it deleted. Okay.\n\nHorrible service, she did apologize but I mean....it seemed crazy for those mistakes to be made. Maybe that is why she was working lunch and not a busy night. I sure hope she gets some more training. There is nothing wrong with repeating back an order, and making sure you have it correct. I hope her manager tells her that. \nI will be giving it another shot, because my boyfriend will be thrilled with the beer selection. So, hopefully the next visit will be better. Oh, and loved the decor..it's really a nice looking place.",
"If I were to title this review, it would be \"Its OK, But...\".\n\nTo be fair and as an FYI, they just opened. They are most likely just starting to work through some kinks in their system. And I'm sure I will give them another try. But, I have to go by the experience I had.\n\nWe visited on Wednesday 6/26, smack in the middle of the week. It was still packed (given its a new restaurant), but we fully expected to wait; As I knew they would have a solid beer menu, I didn't mind taking a visit to the bar for a bit prior to dinner.\n\nIn this regard, they didn't disappoint. The beer menu is a big screen TV stretching across the top of the bar showing about 30 draft beers to choose from. What I was extremely happy about (besides the quality selection) was the price. Most of the beers were in the $5-6 range, which is completely reasonable if not inexpensive for craft brews.\n\nUnfortunately, for the 15 minutes between when I decided what I wanted and our pager went off for our table, I was unable to get a bartender. Not a one. Three were on the one side of the bar, and the bartender who I believe was supposed to be covering my corner where I waited with another 4-5 people was too busy flirting with a guy at the far end (who, lucky for him, had a beer in hand).\n\nOnce I got to my table I was able to order a beer quickly enough, and our waitress apologized for the wait. The Imperial IPA was outstanding... And yes, worth the wait.\n\nI had the Korean BBQ wings for an appetizer. Even though they were busy, they came out VERY hot, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant advertises its oyster nights; If they have wing nights, it would be worth a visit as well.\n\nHowever, we get to my salad, the fried chicken salad. To say it had no flavor would be to offend flavorless foods. The chicken was dry and without flavor, and the dressing tasted like someone thickened water with flour. If it wasn't for the fact we wanted to take advantage of a break between storm systems to get home, I probably would have sent it back.\n\nSo the visit was \"OK, But...\". The beer selection was outstanding.... But good luck getting a bartender (unless you're a single male). Some food was good, but... Other items should go back from whence they came. \n\nThe Pour House could be a great addition in Exton... But, its got a LONG way to go to get there IMHO.",
"Went on a Thursday evening with my husband and 2 other couples. Waited 40 minutes (it was 7p.m.), packed with people since it recently opened. Nice cozy decor and fun bar with great beer selections from all over the world. Bartender service was TERRIBLE! There were about 6 bartenders that seemed to be running around with their skirts up over their heads. We waited about 20 minutes for service and that was because we pulled a waitress and kindly asked her to get a bartender to serve us. After having worked in the food and beverage industry I know to treat and serve all the customers the same...men do not like it if a woman disregards another woman and women have the pull of the tip so think again lady bartenders. Besides that, our service was okay, our main server \"Lexi\" was rude to her fellow co-workers (very unprofessional) which made her look bad. The food was great, I got the California Turkey Burger on wheat. The wheat bun was meehhh but the burger with roasted tomato and guacamole/avacado topping with a bit of spicey kick to it was so yummy! My husband got the Pour House deluxe burger and said it was good and he would get it again. My friend sitting next to me got the fish tacos and let's just say, I saw them for a split second and they were gone she loved them! Would come back but would def mention better service and professionalism to management if the same things were observed again.",
"Wow! That's my thought...we went last night (Friday), waited maybe 20 mins for a table. The French fry appetizer \"fries with cheese and short rib gravy\" was unbelievable! OMG!

My vodka/7 was real good...a nice pour. Good service...and the decor is fantastic!",
"I'll start this on a positve note, my last visit happened to be on their $1 oyster day, and I was impressed with the variety and freshness of the oysters. Remove the oysters and it was a pretty abysmal experience. The service behind the bar was bad. Not welcoming, not friendly or warm, just there. As far as the menu is concerned I decided on a burger that had bacon marmalade on it. It was $14 or $15 but the write-up seemed impressive so I decided to go for it. I ordered it Medium and a little over twenty minutes later the tall bartender dropped it off as she walked by. No comments, no 'here's your burger' or 'can I get you anything else?', just a walk-by drop-off. I look down and it had that perfect, uniform circle shape that gives you the immediate impression, \"This wasn't made in house\". I cut into it and its completely well-done through and through. After taxes and tip I'm paying $20 for this thing, if you can't cook it right you don't get to charge $14 or $15 for a burger simple as that. \n\nIf either bartender spent maybe 30-45 seconds to make me feel somewhat welcome, showed some personality or at least acted like they wanted to be there and if that burger was like $10-12 I would have had a completely different impression on the place, but I doubt I'll be back.",
"We decided to try Pour House today. We got there at 11:30 AM. There were 4 other people being waited on. After sitting there for 45 minutes and not even being approached by a waitress, we got up and left. Four hostesses talking to each other at the front. At least 4 waitress standing in the corner talking. Not impressed."

"After having a bad experience at Beirut Cafe we found this place right around the corner. All I can say is I have found a new place to eat. I tried Hummus for the first time and loved it. The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful and friendly. The place was clean and had lots of room for big parties. I had the meat pie that is fried in a very tasty dough. It was so good. I look forward to many more visits.",
"Sitting here smoking some fine melon blue shisha and reflecting on the savory chicken shish tawook digesting in my belly. Yum!",
"Great food, nice service. Not a fancy restaurant but the food is so good. Great place for lunch or dinner. Tabouleh salad and fallafel sandwich were excellent. I will be back....",
"Some of the nicest people and the most delicious food, ever. The Kanafe Asmaliyeh is heavenly. Clean, courteous, friendly, and welcoming.",
"I've been in a couple times now and I have had really positive experiences so far.\n\nThe inside is very plain and reminds me a bit of a cafeteria. You can make an order to go at the counter or take a seat and someone will bring you a menu. The tables are consistently clean and you can get your own drink refills if you so choose. The family that runs it is seriously wonderful. The wife has some great recipes, guys. She can lead you to food heaven too.\n\nI've had a variety of things so far. I've had a few different meats thanks to the cedars platter. You pick a couple from a list, and they show up with a bed of seasoned rice (what do they put in it!?), grilled veggies, and pita. I've had a couple of the appetizers/salads - baba ganouj, fatuosh, tabbouleh, and kibbe. The baba has this insane smoky flavor, unlike any other baba I've had. The fatoush is simple and a great gateway salad for someone not familiar with middle eastern food. The tabbouleh was delicious, and I might be able to eat my weight in kibbe. I've sampled the leg of lamb on their entrees list and it was very soft and flavorful. The first time I went I wrapped up dinner with the namoura and they were delicious, but I've yet to have one I didn't like. My only real complaint is the ground meat is always beef; I have a preference for lamb when it comes to my kofta. \n\nI'm looking forward to trying the knafeh one of these days. I'll definitely be back, though. It's super close to me AND halal so I can please the manthing without the long trek to Tampa.",
"I have now been here twice and although the decor is horrible the food is good. I would highly recommend the baba gnoush. It is enough for four people and delish! For main course i got the beef kabobs, which were good. My favorite part of the meal is the almond slices in the rice. It is a family run business and the service is decent. I will be returning and you should give it a shot also",
"A great place. Another little place that does it right. Great Lebanese food that reminds me of the Lebanese meals that my aunt used to make. Authentic Lebanese food at a reasonable price!",
"Don't let the small size from the street or parkig lot fool you. Recently had dinner here and was very impressed with the food and service. Portions were great. Food was delicious and very filling. In talking with the owner while we were there, found out they have only been open a few months. Seriously under utilized their marketing. Great food!!!",
"Ate here tonight. Super nice family that owns and runs it. I have experience with Lebanese food and this was as perfect as the meals I have had in the past. We started with an order of Baba Gahnouge which was delicious! My husband just about licked the bowl clean. We moved on to a Fatoush salad which was also delicious. I had a Shish Tawook pressed sandwich with fries and hubby had the Chicken Shawarma. Both were excellent. We will be returning!",
"Discreetly placed in a strip mall, this little gem of a restaurant is way more than meets the eye. The decor is pleasant and the place was very clean. The service was great and the dinners we ordered, lamb shank and beef shish kabobs, came with a choice of one of three different salads or soup. The presentation was terrific, the portions were very generous, the meals were delicious, and the prices were reasonable. We will definitely return."

"This is not a fancy little Japaneese restuarant however, the food is pretty good. Very limited menu especially for sushi and rolls.",
"I have been coming here at least once per week, sometimes even more, since they opened! Tokyo Express is a very pleasant place to eat and the staff always greets with a smile. \n\nI tried quite a number of the rolls but among my favorite is the spicy crunchy tuna. The teriyaki & hibachi grill entrees weigh a ton - they give you ALOT of delicious food -definately enough for two meals and the prices can NOT be beat.\n\nIf you're in the Newark area and are craving a sushi treat - stop by! You will NOT be disappointed!",
"Amazing rolls...my fav is the crab dynamite roll. Not the best place to sit down but a take-out works best! Sushi chef is extremely helpful and customizes rolls to preference.",
"this place is cheap and delicious! if you're looking for a place that's easy on the wallet and has good sushi...try this place. I'm in town for a 1 month externship and immediately was in search for a nearby sushi place that's cheap, and this place fits the bill. They have an extensive menu w/ rice bowls, teriyaki, appetizers, and sushi of course. I only eat cooked sushi, so I had the shrimp mango roll and the shrimp tempura roll, all for $9.25! 8 pieces/roll. It was fresh and taste great. Next time, I'm going to try their appetizers...they have crab rangoon 10 pieces/$3.85 and fried calamri! They do have adequate space to eat there, blan decor, seems like a more take-out/delivery kind of place. Place is clean and there's plenty of free parking in the complex. I took away 1 star b/c they didn't place that faux grass plastic thing to separate the wasabi and ginger from the sushi, which sucks b/c after driving around, the wasabi shifted in the box container was on my sushi...and i hate wasabi! I guess next time i'll just ask for no wasabi/ginger.",
"Best sushi rolls ever! They don't have the traditional Japanese style sushi of course. Sushi rolls are very Americanized however super yummy! Crab dynamite roll is the best and some of my friends love the frank's roll. Plus it's cheap!",
"I have been to this place once i was very hungry and had sushi... it was really awesome. I thought loved it because may be i was hungry but i went there for so many times but the taste never changed. I think this is the best place for sushi at this price range.",
"Are you looking for good AND cheap food with out strings attached? Look no further, Tokyo Express will fill your stomach with out exploding out your back end. \n\nThe delivery service is excellent and quick. Ordering over the phone is a breeze and they save your contact info to make delivery a bit easier. They will never leave you waiting. \n\nTheir food is great relative to the restaurant type. If you are expecting a NY style hibachi you are being misled by the reviews. The food is delicious relative to the cost and the food is technically take-out. The portions are huge and half the cost of what it would cost at a sit down hibachi establishment. You can easily feed your self two meals for the price of one. The hibachi enormous, saucy, meaty, and comes with a side of rice and vegetables. Their sushi selection is plenty and good, I have had better sushi, but again for the price and convenience this is great. Experienced foodies of hibachi wil be pleased, it will meet your expectations but wont exceed them. If I wanted better sushi, Sushi Sumo isn't too far. But on a rainy/snowy or lazy day this place wins. \nThis place leaves me with satisfaction and satiety without guilt or detrimental bowel movements. \nMy recommendations would be the chicken hibachi, spicy tuna roll, crab rangoon, and spring rolls. You'll be set for the night plus one. \n\nThe interior: not applicable, havent set foot inside, but have driven by. It looks nice. Fancy signs. \n\nOverall: Love it. Easy, convenient, hassle free, big portions, delicious and cheap. I will call again, very soon...",
"This is a great place for take out sushi.. It's cheap, made to order, fast, and very good. They go slightly overboard on the quantity of soy sauce cups they hand out with every order but overall, nice staff and good inexpensive sushi.",
"Tokyo Express is a great place to eat. The price is what caught my eye. I am not a sushi fan so I decided to try the hibachi grill-- What a great choice! The food was so fresh and delicious. My fiance got the terriyaki grill which was even more delicious. The meals they give you are enough for two! I wish I lived closer to the area so I can go there everyday!",
"This is by far the best sushi I ever had! The service is fast and the staff is friendly. The sushi is always fresh and for amazing prices. I recommend this to anyone and everyone!"

"Happy to be the first to review Teri's! This place is tremendous. About one month ago, they began serving dinner as a BYO (Wed - Sun); formerly, they were strictly breakfast/brunch/lunch. Breakfast/brunch is really good with unique ideas and a fun staff - I highly recommend it. \n\nDespite this, my expectations for dinner were modest. Boy was I wrong. They put candles on the table and (good) jazz through the speakers. The space really took on a different atmosphere...slightly upscale, but still very down-home and comfortable (think diner booths with candles and jazz). Our server, John, was sweet as pie and professional...and I haven't had a meal that tasty in months. \n\nThe menu is French-inspired, but not all French. We began with the duck confit appetizer ($9). A simultaneous \"oh my God\" literally came from our mouths. Incredibly good and enough for two. We then both decided to get the butternut squash ravioli (homemade, $15) but wanted a veggie, so we ordered a side of asparagus as well. Once again, amazing. The ravioli were superb--and the sauce! So good! Asparagus was done simply in butter and garlic and was excellent. I don't even want to know what the calorie/cholesterol count was for our meal but really, something this good is worth it. We literally cleaned our plates. \n\nThe chef, Davis (last: Denick...I looked it up), came out to introduce himself and seemed like a really nice guy. Our server told us that Davis formerly worked at Coquette. It's really hard to find french/french-inspired food this good at such a reasonable price in Philly, especially in south philly.",
"Yummy breakfast and lunch options. Limited menu sticking to the classics. Western Omelet with toast and home fries a steal at $6.50! Not good for big groups but perfect for the day after a friday night for you and friend or two. They have BBQ Ribs but not always available as they may be sold out. Mac and Cheese looked good. Free coffee refills another reason to go. It is BYO so bring your soda, champagne, beer, whatever. Definitely heading back soon, it's a good alternative to Sabrina's when they are packed...just stroll down 9th st",
"For breakfast and lunch this is a moderately price great option in the Italian Market area. They have all the classics and then some. The place is big - usually no wait and the service is quick and graceful. You can get a decent breakfast way under $10 per person. \n\nAt night they change the place around - dim the lights, play some music and light candles on the tables which gives the location a different ambiance. They have a \"Fine Dining\" menu which includes steak frites, duck confit and other classics. \n\nWe went there for dinner last night with our bottle of wine and it was overall very good and very affordable. \n\nWe had the steak and the pork chop both very juicy (a tad too salty but definitely tasty). With sides of fries (regular and sweet potatoes) and mashed sweet potatoes and greens respectively. We started with a green salad which was pretty good too. \n\nIt's nice to have this place around as a dining option in our neighborhood and for the price you cannot go wrong.",
"The BF and I happened upon Teri's today while hunting wild produce at the the Italian Market and the sky became an ominous thunder-storm color. It looked a little funky from across the street but the menu looked good and the fact that there chalkboard advertised Kick-ass Omelettes (i heart curse words in advertising) we ducked for cover. I went simple with some over med eggs, home fries and rye toast but my BF was daring and threw caution to the wind and went for the corn pancakes with chive butter and a fried egg. served with maple syrup which sounds strange but it was the perfect combination of savory and sweet. While my choice was good but standard his pancakes were the Kick-ass choice at our table. I only wish they had turkey bacon on the menu. (we are trying to abstain from pork/red meat)\n\nOur server was really cool, he let us on to the fact that they have a dinner menu wed-sun in which if you BYOB and bring your receipt from the Wine and Spirit Shoppe you get five bucks off your bill. Even without that incentive the dinner menu, while short, looked promising. The Caramelized Onion and Gorgonzola Tart with port wine syrup appetizer and the fair selection of fish entree's is what I'm coming back for.",
"Teris is a simply great place to eat breakfast. I would highly recommend the eggs and breakfast meat on a long sarcone's roll. All their sandwiches are great. The skinny waiter guy is really attentive and refills drinks without summons. Highly recommend.",
"I've walked by Teri's like a million times and then forgot about it. subsequently have had way too many breakfasts at Sabrina's that I could have had at Teri's. I don't exactly hate Sabrina's but I find their omelets to hard and their pancakes somewhat terrifying. But enough about them.\n\nMy first Teri's experience was a breakfast sandwich to go. It was my birthday, I was on my way to work at 8 am and wanted a treat. \n\nOMG first off all they totally let me mix hot chocolate in my coffee, which I love. Then when I got to work (I even got my coworker a sandwich, birthdays make me magnanimous) I opened up my sandwich and was soo happy it was everything I wanted! I asked for the eggs over easy, which they did without question, so it was oozy and cheesy and drippy with yolk plus really good bacon..ahhhh on a seeded crusty roll. Needless to say there was no birthday lunch.\n\nThen again I totally forgot about Teri's until a week or so ago when I met a friend for Sunday brunch there at her suggestion.\n\nOur server was super nice, I got there early, he gave me coffee and I decided I loved him. \n\nLooking through the menu, thinking of a my former breakfast sandwich I was curiously drawn to the roasted corn pancakes with glazed ham, chive butter and a fried egg, though I wasn't sure about the ham (don't like big ole pink chunky slices of ham),\n\nNow I am not a pancake kind of girl, exception being the blueberry pancakes at the Dutch Eating Place in Reading Terminal, which are magical. I often try to bully someone else into getting pancakes so I can have a bite but it hardly ever works, I suspect others have a similar agenda. I may have mentioned that I am scared of the pancakes at Sabrina's and Carmen's because they just have too much stuff, like candy bars and whipped cream, they more like sundaes than breakfast. \n\nWhen my friend arrived I let her know that I not only loved our server but suspected that the pancakes may be God's breakfast and she had to get an omelet, which being a good friend she did. She got a Kick Ass Omelet with Italian sausage, provolone, peppers and onions. And we both had OJ which was standard not fresh squeezed or anything, but was poured from a pitcher in to a human sized glass which I thought was a nice touch ( I had mine with ice and got a free refill since the ice took up room in the glass, very nice)\n\nOK so My pancakes arrived..and the eggs on top was just a wee bit too under done for me ( the white was still translucent and wobbly and I asked nicely if they could just give it another couple of seconds on the grill, which they did and it was totally my fault as I should have asked for it over easy)\n\nWhen my pancakes came back I was so pleased, the ham was not part of the butter but it was in thin slices with a bit of a crispy edge. The pancakes were tender and filled with corn, and the chive butter was perfect. I put syrup on half and broke the yolk on the other side and it was breakfast nirvana, salty, sweet, chewy, onion-y, buttery all kinds of nice textures from the corn and the ham edges..whooohooo.\n\nIt was so good that it took me at least 4 minutes to offer my friend a piece so I could get a bite of her omelet., I graciously gave her a nice big piece with all the components and was rewarded in turn with a tender omelet bite with really good red peppers, spicy sausage, sweet onions...lovely, delicious but i did not experience order envy I was totally pleased with my Pancakes of God. \n\nI have to say this ranks with two other breakfast epiphany's 1) Fried egg, frisee, pancetta & Gorgonzola on a chiabtta roll at Wich'Craft in NYC and 2) Poached eggs on crispy potato pancakes with slice of fresh summer red ripe tomato , apple wood smoked bacon & chive hollandaise at a place that no longer exists. TERI'S IF YOU ARE READING THIS: MAKE THESE THEY ARE AWESOME (but don't use a tomato that is not perfect or you'll f it up)\n\n I said a fond fare well to our server and waddled out if Teri's in to the Sunday sun, headed towards a brief nap and some crossword puzzling in my garden, vowing never to to forget them again. ( And to get back there for dinner, ASAP)",
"Wow. My friend (who lives here) brought me here for breakfast, saying, \"Oh, it's just a diner.\" [sings]*Beg to differ!* Teri's may have the diner atmosphere, but the food was definitely a cut above. \n\nI had the roasted corn pancakes with chive butter and ham. First off, what non-artisanal food establishment has that on their menu? The ham was a wafer-thin slice, crinkly as a sheet of tissue from being hit with the heat. It rested atop the corn cakes, which were full of corn kernels and were sweetish around the edges (like cornbread) but were heartier somehow in the centers. One helping of two cakes was way more than I needed. The chive butter was excellent, a zesty perk-up that would have been missed otherwise. \n\nDefinitely a good choice for a filling breakfast, and not just the usual diner fare.",
"This is a solid diner with excellent service. The food wasn't spectacular, but was a good deal for the money.\n\nOne minor complaint: the waiter didn't know the difference between maple syrup and the maple-flavored corn syrup most restaurants serve with pancakes. I asked, and was told it was maple syrup, but got maple-flavored corn syrup instead. I don't really expect a low-end diner to have real maple syrup (although I'd gladly pay extra for it if they did) but they should at least know the difference and be able to tell me what they're offering.",
"I've walked by Teri's a few times and thought \"that's a horrible font for a sign.\" Eventually it occurred to me that it looked like an appealing little diner, so the boyfriend and I decided to check it out.\n\nWe rolled in at noon or so on a Saturday and the place was dead. They had catchy '80s music blaring like it was a trendy night club (do trendy night clubs play '80s music?). It made me happy.\n\nWe sat ourselves and barely glanced at the menu. I knew I wanted the corn pancake/ham/egg combo based on my Yelp stalking, and my boyfriend has the bad habit of always ordering two fried eggs, potatoes and rye toast. \n\nS.M.'s description of the corn pancake dish is spot on. Heaven. My only complaint from this visit is that our food sat around for about 5 minutes because the server wasn't paying attention.\n\nMy second visit was even better. I had the same dish, but this time I stole some of my boyfriend's potatoes and oh. my. god. Teri's home fries [insert 'greater than' symbol] Sabrina's/Sam's/Sulimay's/Other popular S breakfast places. They were cooked until soft, so if you prefer crispy stick to Sabrina's. I don't know what seasoning they use, but there was a little kick to 'em. And perfectly fried onions. And other small tidbits I devoured without thinking about.\n\nThe service was better this time, too. A friendly elderly gent (the owner?) refilled my coffee when the only other employee was busy. The other employee was attentive and basically knew what we needed before opening our mouths. She cooked our meal too. She was great.\n\nThis review is already rambly, but I have to mention this: the gent I mentioned earlier crafted hanging lights from old beer bottles. They're fantastic.",
"Alright, I know I leave a lot of five star reviews, but I can't help it... Philadelphia just has a lot of great stuff, and I've missed out on the bad so far (yay!)\n\nTeri's is a great breakfast spot right in the middle of the italian market, super super affordable prices and absolutely delicious food. If you want a mouth-gasm try the french toast with walnuts and bananas, SO GREAT! The breakfast burrito is also really awesome and you can pick whatever you want in it. The corn pancakes are delicious (we passed on the ham on top). They're also not lying when they say they have a kickass omelette. Plus how can you beat bottomless mugs of coffee for (i think) 1.50?\n\nI just went here for the first time this week, and I have already gone back twice. I can't get enough."

"Such a gem, I love this place. It's tucked away in Montecito and a little hard to find, but SO worth it. Their prosciutto con melone was luscious, wine selection is fantastic, and the zuppe di pesche was aMAzing. Our Italian waiter was very attentive and totally played along with my pathetic attempts to speak Italian. Whenever my parents are in town to take me to places I can't afford, this will be high on the list.",
"I visited Santa Barbara and the nearby Montecito this summer with my Italian-born husband. We were searching for a good Italian restaurant that night as I was craving some good pasta. Santa Barbara's State Street had a lot of options, but was mobbed as it was Independence Day Weekend. I searched Yelp and found this restaurant.\n\nOh my, am I glad I gave it a chance! The food was to die for my husband said and this is coming from an Italian. They had more specials than regular menu items. He had the fettuccine al salmone, fettuccine with salmon in a tomato sauce and my dish, while I can't remember the name exactly (linguine alla zucca con gamberetti, maybe?), was egg noodles in a pumpkin sauce/puree with shrimp. Both dishes were PERFECT though we agreed that my dish was better as the flavor pairing was just amazing.\n\nAs far as pricing, we found the restaurant priced well below what we thought it should have been for the quality of the food. Both of our dishes were under $15.\n\nSanta Barbara is a five hour drive from us and we'd come back for this place!",
"This place was fantastic! First of all, the olive oil was green and the aroma and flavor was like nothing I've ever had anywhere. My Italian born husband said that is the way it is in Italy. So we bought a bottle!\n\nThe service and food was perfect. The pricing was in line. We liked the tucked away, homey feeling away from State St. We will go back next time we are in the area!",
"We usually enjoy this restaurant, but I did not have a very good dinner here recently. I had a special pasta of spaghetti, and broccoli. The spaghetti was cooked properly, but the broccoli was over cooked to the point that it was gray and mushy. My husband had roast chicken which was okay, but he said that he had eaten much better chicken elsewhere.\nMaybe, we just hit it on a \"off\" night.",
"You just can't copy an original. You want to talk about true authentic Northern Italian food in Santa Barbara, the list starts and ends with Pane E Vino. Great food, atmosphere, service, at an honest price. Best in Santa Barbara, period.",
"This place was good but not anything extraordinary. Service was slow and the waiter was kind of snooty. I wouldn't go out of my way to try this place.",
"My wife and I were in Santa Barbara for our anniversary and on the recommendation of friends, we put Pane E Vino on our dinner stop list. It was a great decision. \n\nIt is hard to imagine charm in a strip mall venue, but Pane E Vino achieves it regardless. The management is cordial, the venue intimate and the food phenomenal. \n\nMy wife ordered a Mediterranean pasta that had fish and spicy flakes of pepper in it. I ordered the Spaghetti in Bolognese (a great test of any Italian restaurant). Wifey had a beet salad and I a Caprese for an appetizer. \n\nAll the food was excellent. My wife and I ended up swapping because the spice was too much for her, plus she fell in love with my Bolognese. I could have stuck with both, and effectively did given that she could only each half the Bolognese. \n\nPrices here were reasonable, too, so not only was the food great, but the value was there, and I left full. \n\nJust for fun, we also managed a star sighing. Jane Lynch from Glee was sitting at an outside table alone enjoying a meal, and (I am happy to write) uninterrupted by those who recognized her. \n\nThere is a nice covered outdoor area that would be nice to sit in, too, but we chose indoors as it was cold outside.\n\nFor travelers up the coast, romantics away for a weekend of fans of great Italian food, Pane E Vino is a must stop on your Italian culinary tour along California's coastline. The food will make you think you are in Amalfi without the cliffs or airfare.",
"The food is always good and reasonably priced. If only I could say the same about the service. Most of The waiters are arrogant and unattentive. They are in such a hurry that you have better luck flagging a busperson down if you happen to need something besides having your food delivered. Don't know why the attitude is so bad here - lovely atmosphere, lovely location, lovely food - such a shame as good service would make it so much better.",
"Had dinner here with my wife and her sister's family. We were seated on the patio. It was an excellent dinner, the best Italian meal I have eaten and I live in a town with a lot of good Italian restaurants. Atmosphere was very nice on the patio, was quiet and pleasant. Italian wine was very good. Service was friendly without being over bearing.",
"Great authentic food and amazing service with friendly and cozy atmosphere..the best place to taste north Italian cuisine in Santa Barbara. The price is even reasonable and the selection of wine as good as expected!"

"Yucky, yucky, yucky, yucky, yuck, yuck, YUCK!\n\nSave your money. Get In N' Out instead.",
"This location has actually moved from Yelp's listed address. They are now located at 5402 E Speedway, just west of Craycroft. The staff here seems to actually care about the customer which is rare at fast food, I especially love Rose. It's a slight cut above the traditional fast food burger but not quite a gourmet burger. Consistently good but reflected in a slightly higher price.",
"It's been a long time since I set foot in a Whataburger. We had some coupons that were too good to waste so we thought we would give it a try. Some basic observations:\n\nThe place was clean - my last visit to a Whataburger (not this one) was complete with a dead fly on the window sill next to our table. No dead flies here.\n\nPrices were better than I remember - maybe other fast food places have gone up and WB has stayed close to the same because other places are trying to get too fancy when it comes to fast food..\n\nService was good - when they brought our food they presented us a tray to take what condiments we wanted. Also nice to know one of their options is spicy ketchup.\n\nThe burger was decent, not great but it was hot as were the fries.\n\nWhataburger has been around a long time. I think that has a lot to do with the fact that they keep their menu simple.Sometimes simple is what you are looking for... and didn't even know it.",
"I really do like this place! It was my first time here yesterday and even though I only went through the drive thru, I felt like a valued customer. I got the #1 (What a burger combo meal) and it tasted amazing. Why I've never been to this place, I don't know, but I will be here more often!",
"Being a native Texan, I know a great deal about Whataburger. It has the best burgers, for a fast food place, and the service is always on par. This location is clean and don't forget they have a good breakfast menu. Get the taquitos with hash browns in them. They're the best!",
"If you like fast food restaurants that mess up your order, then this is the place for you! If not, stay the fuck away from this location. I hate when a restaurant robs me and I will not return.",
"If you're from Texas, Whataburger is to us what In n Out is to Californians. We had given up on this location due to undercooked burgers, but happily they've turned things around. We're night owls and usually you expect sub par food in the middle of the night. This Whataburger delivered delicious, perfectly cooked food in the middle of the night! I was truly taken back to my childhood. Kudos to this location for the work they've done! Anytime I'm up late and wanting a burger, I know where to go!",
"I couldn't remember the last time I went to a Whataburger but I happened to see it and thought I'd pick something up. There aren't any locations very close to me, plus we are really trying to stay away from fast food.... buuutt sometimes you just need a really good burger and this really hit the spot. The burger was a good size with very fresh veggies you hardly see anymore. Crisp lettuce and onion, good tomatoes and pickles, plus jalapenos. Yum! I was very glad I stopped in, maybe just as glad it's not close or I'd be here way too often.",
"Not being a Texas local, I just had this for the first time in my life. Idk if all the hype was too much or if this burger was just super average but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. Although the staff was VERY nice and welcoming. I guess I'm just an In-n-Out person.",
"I recently visited my first Whataburger when I was in Arizona visiting my Girlfriend. She was telling me how this chain is awesome and I needed to try it ASAP. It also has been compared to In n Out which grabbed my attention. As a Native Californian and she being a Native Texan its tough to know what to expect with that kind of Hype. So I got a Double Cheese with Fries. It was EXPENSIVE. BUT! The thing I will say is that the Fries are WAY better than In n Out and their Burgers are nothing like In n Out. Where Im from this would be compared and considered to be a contender to another Monster Burger from a Chain called \"Nations\". The Burger was DELICIOUS! Hands down. It was expensive but damn Id pay for it again. Place was sleepy and I was expecting the Chaos of In n Out and unlike In n Out, I got my food within what seemed like 2 minutes. Ill be visiting Whataburger again when I go to Arizona and Texas for sure!!! 4 stars!"

"I like this diner. It has awesome pastries and good service. Seats are pretty comfortable, and you can usually score a booth. I only ever get breakfast, and that's not too easy to screw up. The french toast is unique and pretty good if you're up for something a little different. They don't skimp on food either. Careful if you order a side,of, say, bacon, because you will get a greasy little plate with something like seven strips. (Oh yeah, and appetizers of the fried variety never fail here either)",
"I'd give it a 0 if I could :( There are several better diners in the neighborhood although it's quite possible I just missed the draw of this one.",
"The Sage Diner is a great place to meet up for breakfast. The service and the food were pretty good.",
"One of my first NJ diner experiences. Went there for dinner. For some reason was in the mood for Beef Stew, which was surprisingly good. Also good dessert.",
"Best cheese danishes in the area. I've only ever ordered from the breakfast menu and pastry case, but everything I've ever had was properly satisfying. \n\nIt's also one of the world's absolute greatest where-to-eat-with-a-hangover spots.",
"A group of girls from my field hockey team headed to Sage after the final game of our first-place season this morning. We were seated right away, and our server was quick with drinks and always refilling coffee without us having to ask. My challah French toast was similar to our earlier victory-- sweet and satisfying!",
"We met friends en route from NY to their home in Washington DC by the # 4 NJ turnpike exit - we weren't looking for a great dining adventure, we just wanted someplace easy that we could sit and visit and get some simple dinner.\n\nWe were pleasantly surprised that the Sage had good fresh food and great service. Dinners came with soup, salad, rolls and two vegetables. The salads were iceberg but huge and fresh with tomatoes, a nice strong red onion, radishes and carrots. The sesame rolls were fresh though unfortunately not warm. Two of us had the turkey dinner, one the baked trout special and one the mussels with red sauce and we all agreed our entrees were very good. The turkey was real though the gravy was that typical yellow kind but still fine. Hubby said the tomato gravy on his linguini was excellent. My mashed potatoes were real and very good. The only outstanding bad thing was the soup - we chose the consommé with a matzo ball and the ball was soft, the soup very bland.\n\nThis diner has the best desserts I have seen and tasted in any diner in recent memory! Usually diners have those huge cakes and pies that look sort of enticing with giant mounds of cream or icing piled on top but then you order one and it is terribly disappointing when it is fake and cheap tasting. Not so with the Sage, their desserts were actually quite good. We shared a cannolli, an eclair and piece of chocolate layer cake, The cake was a bit sweet but ok, the eclair was actually fresh and delicious. \n\nService was perfect, the waiter checked with us often and brought what we wanted quickly.\n\nIf Yelp was a place to rate just diners I would give them four stars but comparing them to any restaurant in general a three is closer to the truth - a couple of nice surprises (the eclair) and a couple of not so perfect things (the soup) but overall definitely \"good\"!",
"Not the best diner food in the world, but very good baked chicken. The knock on the food is that it tends to be over-cooked (especially the veggies). They load you down with food and the prices are very reasonable. If your on a budget you could do much worse.\nDesserts are very good.",
"Oh, Sage Diner - you tease. I thought I would go to a nice local New Jersey diner for lunch instead of one of the chain restaurants nearby... but though you are, in fact, a diner, you are not, in fact, \"nice.\"\n\nI can't honestly say that anything was particularly awful about my visit to the Sage Diner, it was just really sort of... meh. I ordered a \"deluxe\" burger with swiss cheese and Russian dressing, and my boyfriend ordered a cajun chicken sandwich. The \"deluxe\" burgers are supposed to come with french fries and onion rings, but mine arrived sans onion rings. It also arrived sans Russian dressing, but my server brought me a cup of it on the side at my request... I let the onion ring thing go. The cajun chicken sandwich was what you'd expect - not bad at all, nothing eye-poppingly good. The french fries were just regular old pre-frozen steak fries and they were a little under-cooked.\n\nI think the most disappointing thing about this place was the fact that the breakfast menu was really limited at lunch time. Yes, it was noon, but I hadn't eaten breakfast and I was actually looking forward to something toward that end of the culinary spectrum... sadly, they seem to switch out the menus after \"normal\" breakfast hours, and the breakfast options get pared down to about half of the back page of the menu. Not cool, Sage Diner... not cool.\n\nThe waitress was okay, if perhaps a little on the surly side. The decor needs some big-time upgrading, but that's honestly not unique to this diner in particular (it seems to be a common problem among them).\n\nI wasn't hungry when I left, and I didn't get sick from the food - those are pretty much the best things I can say about this place.",
"This diner been there for quite sometime, been there , once in blue moon. This one weekend my girlfriend & I were running errands, stopped to get bite to eat. The waitress was pleasant, we got breaksfast-HUGE portions, so we split it..surprisingly still pretty good & tasty. Wouldn't mind going there again, service & food are still Good., not like Mastoris..but it'll do for that area!!! \n*"

"My family and I just stopped in for lunch. I have to say I didn't know it was open because there Grand Opening sign only faced the northbound traffic. We had the cinnamon roll for a appetizer and it was outstanding. My wife had the breakfast burrito and it was good. I had the chicken and waffles...it was a little spicy for me but tasty. We will go there again.",
"Great food and service. Big servings we had omelets that were wonderful. They have a big cinnamon roll that's delicious. Our son like he's the chicken and waffles Nashville hot and its spicy, and taste fantastic . Can't wait to go back. Everything we have tried so far is delicious.",
"Breakfast was good, but the potatoes were flavorless and looked almost like they were frozen. Need to step up your potatoe game.... you've got some good competition down the road at Best Bet! My hubby's breakfast burrito was amazing! But then he also had the potatoes, which neither one of us finished. Who doesn't finish their potatoes?!? Fresh squeezed OJ and service was truly incredible! We'll be back....fingers crossed potatoes get better!!",
"My husband and I were there today for breakfast. I had the Eggs Bennie, prepared as I requested. Very good. Also had the grits of the day which happened to be with sausage and cheese which were great. My husband had the Smokin Hash which he said was very good. They have only been open 10 days but our service was great. Expect a wait but they have free coffee. Lol They have a large menu and some interesting things for lunch which we will try another time.",
"This was my first time and it was great! There was a large crowd but the wait was minimal so they were getting folks in and out. The menu is filled with the typical breakfast/brunch items and some specialties as well... a little for everyone. The customer service is also great, there was a small error with my ordered but it was fixed and taken care of quickly! I will surely be back and I'm Looking forward to it!",
"We tried the Wild Eggs in Carmel so I was happy to hear they were opening one in Fishers and super close to our house. Today I ordered a make your own omelet with bacon, pepper jack cheese tomato and avocado. It was just OK. It didn't have as much flavor as I had hoped. The grits of the day were sausage and cheddar - not too exciting but still good. I had amazing grits of the day but it sounds like they change them up hence grits of the day. Anyway still worth a shot. The service was super friendly and the food was good. I may not order an omelette again but there are so many other tasty choices to try.",
"Want to start by saying the food was GREAT! My husband and I struggled with the rating of 4 or 5, so really we give it a 4.5. \n\nMy husband got the breakfast burrito which was very fresh and yummy. Great portion size.\n\nI got the half and half- half the spin on eggs Benedict, I forgot the name already and half the chicken breakfast nachos. They did mess up my eggs in both orders by not having the runny yolks but they gladly fixed it, and our server was very friendly and kind. \n\nThe manager came out when he heard about my eggs and gave us two free cinnamon rolls which we took one home. Haven't had it yet but it's HUGE and looks great. \n\nThe whole staff was great, especially manager/owner. Had a small issue with our change when we paid cash (got wrong amount) but was easily fixed. For only being open for 2 weeks I think our issues were just learning pains and I think this will be a great breakfast joint once they continue to learn. \n\nThe breakfast food does have a Mexican flare/theme so be mindful of that, but we loved it!",
"Impeccable service and amazing food. The cinnamon roll and Kalamity Katie's border Benedict are some of the best breakfast items I have ever eaten. I will be returning regularly!! Highly recommend!",
"This place just opened a few weeks ago in Fishers. We've gone there every weekend since! The place looks nice, the wait staff are all great, the menu has a lot of different variety and options, and the food is delicious. I can personally vouch for the strawberry pancakes and the heuvos rancheros with green chili! In full disclosure I always get their breakfasts, so I have not tried their lunch options yet.",
"Wow! Free coffee while you wait for a table! And they have the friendliest, most hospitable staff ever! This place is old school in that they're actually glad you're there and they sincerely want you to have a great experience. They have an extensive menu with traditional and not so traditional options. We highly recommend this place and we look forward to our next visit there!"

"Great chefs and great food. Very good prices especially at lunch with their buffet, you basically get the same food (minus the clear soup), unlimited salad for less than $10 for terryaki chicken!",
"Loved the food but the worlds loudest vacuum cleaner started at 8pm and didn't stop until 8:20pm. Oops, nope just started again. I am removing a star! Customers are not first here.",
"Had lunch at Kabuto's, a family favorite, again today.\n\nDidn't get Regan to cook for us but all these guys are good.\n\nAlways a treat to see the guys try to out shine each other when they know you are a regular.\n\nI just found Bryan K's filtered review and see that we are coming up on the anniversary of his wife's experience.\n\nIt would be my family's pleasure and honor to buy your family dinner at Kabuto's and thank you for your service to our country.",
"I like this family friendly place. Good food from the hibachi or from the sushi bar. The staff is very good and a lot of fun.",
"I have only been here once as I was in the neighborhood; but for a Japanese Sushi and Tepanyaki (steakhouse) place, they are by far the best in town.\n\nThe fried rice is perfection here, and the menu has a nice variety. Though I have not had the tepanyaki, the sushi is also amazing and you get great variety for the money.\n\nIt is a shame this place is practically on the other side of town from me, cause they really are the best. They even have coupons available regularly through their Facebook profile for $5 and $10 off purchases of $30+ and $60+ download after you \"Like\" them on Facebook.",
"Great place for entertainment done up as food! These guys play with your food and make it delicious in the meantime! Great date night place for a special evening.\n\nPlan on coming hungry because the portions are huge... I mean leftovers for the next day huge. Some chefs are more entertaining than others as there are 4 tables in one large room with each table set up with its own grill. Each chef is assigned to their own particular grill but you can watch the showmanship going on at other grills.\n\nBeing vegetarian I can't say how over/undercooked their steak, chicken, fish, etc. is cooked but the veggies and rice are great as are the sauces that go with them.",
"It was kind of an odd experience, multiple singings of Happy Birthday, congratulating people for wedding anniversaries, and other events meant the staff was leading a rather loud and well-intentioned audio riot every few minutes. The place was designed as an echo chamber as far as I can tell which meant everyone was having trouble hearing me and oddly I could hear them perfectly.\n\nThe chef was an interesting fellow, asking 2 guys at the table we were sitting at if this was their coming out party as about the first line out of his mouth. It was ok, but kind of ballsy assuming he did not know them.\n\nOne of our party thought the waitress was tired of hearing about how he would die if a mushroom touched anything he ate - I didn't pick up on this so uncertain if that was a complaint or if he was just joshing... the place was packed.\n\nThe cooking show we got was amusing, your standard hibachi chef tricks, he busted a couple of eggs by accident, eh no biggie. This was the first hibachi I've ever been at with people that my food was cooked up and done first, got it, it was tasty but the rice was not ready yet.\n\nBy the time the rice was on my plate the rice was nuclear hot and the veggie were cooling off, but mixing the two / covering veggies in rice made it perfect.\n\nhe cooked for the rest of the table and my friend with the mushroom death allergy got his meat and as I was eating I realized they had cooked my veggies, which included mushrooms, before his... he didn't puff up and turn purple, so my guess is they know how to properly prepare for allergic people, that or he's dying now as I write this review, but my guess is they know how to prepare it.\n\nOf all the hibachi-side shows I have seen, this ranks at about the 4th best - it was amusing, it entertained, it worked, I like.\n\nOf the hibachi food I have had, this was average. Not bad, priced decently, was not a fan of the rice, but was of the veggies, but to each their own.\n\nI think it's probably something most people will like, but if you're sensitive to noise bring earplugs. It does get loud.",
"Imma man up and just declare this the best Hibachi style place in Nashville metro. Kinda sad its gotta be in Henderson/Goodlettes-villes. But, if like my friends - a few of yours always wanna celebrate birthdays at Hibachi grills, recommend this one to them. Paul K.s complaint about the multiple birthday songs is well, retarded, because every time I go to this style of place is for - you guessed it - some sort of celebration. Americans just love to celebrate with an asian guy who can juggle an egg into his hat, what can I say?\n\nI am not exactly an authority on what makes good hibachi, but I have eaten at at least 5 in the general vicinity and guess what? This HIbachi can actually cook the meat something other than well done! AMAZING! I will take that trick over a tired onion volcano any day. (but Kabuto did make the soy sauce boil out pretty frickin' far - kudos for that.)\n\nKabutos house salad dressing is a little different than the typical ginger dressing you usually get at these places, more garlicy. Me likey. The soup was just 'okay' but did include tiny pieces of fried onion which got all soggy. The taste was good, but I'm a texture person too. I ordered sushi and that was pretty average, I dipped mine into the delectable ginger soy type dressing they supplied me with in the beginning to take it up a notch.\n\nOnto the rice, beef and shrimp? ALL GREAT! As I mentioned before, I've NEVER gotten my meat done perfectly medium due to the chunks they dice it up into, but it was perfect here! The amount of food you receive is ridiculous, rice AND noodles? sheesh. \n\nThe decor is actually pretty nice. Its broken up into rooms with 4 hibachi grills in each. The outside of the building is actually really kinda pretty and japanese themed. Cool for the part of town its in. A landmark in Goodlettesville, I am sure. \n\nService was decent. Sure, our waitress didn't seem to be the happiest gal in the world, but our appetizers came out timely and we always had drinks. Eh, fine by me. Chef was friendly and personable. With a $5 coupon my husband and I left stuffed for $25.\n\nTake the extra 15 minutes and eat in the 'burbs over West End for Hibachi! (I doubt I'll ever say that again ;))",
"This place is perfect for what it is. What is it?\nIt's a bad idea to think that one will go here and feel full without spending at least $30. \nTheir Japanese grill show was pretty good, the portions were okay for the price. The atmosphere was more of kitsch rejoinder to an old episode of Threes Company. You know, the kind of episode where one of the gang, overhears some sorted dialogue out of context from behind a Japanese screen. Leading to hi-jinx, half-assery and resolution, the circle of life is complete. \nUntil. \nIt's also a bad idea to assume that when a menu says \"crab\" they mean \"krab\", \"imitation crab\", \"crab stick\"; or god forbid, \"Pollock with a weird petro-chemical-red-stripe embedded in it's heavily processed reformed flesh\". So from the start the menu is disingenuous, and misleading On the menu the label \"Krab\", in an appetizer, then label it \"Crab\" everywhere else. It's all \"Krap\"!\nConsumers understand that there's a shortage of crab. Restaurateurs, have tried to social engineer the public to accept this as inevitable and acceptable. We are all idiots to accept this eco-elitist outcome of the world we live in. \nAt this point my ranting manifesto is pointed at all who read this. \nTo you the restaurateurs, especially the owners of Kabuto. Shame on you, you are deceiving the public and charging a premium for a mislabeled product. Advertise your products exactly what they are, or just don't serve it. \nYou are representing the Japanese culture, a culture which relies on the freshness of their products especially seafood. Real lump crab is a logical alternative to your already dreadful protocol. Raise the price by a dollar, people will understand without hesitation. Your supplier does not run your business. Asian restaurants are the main culprit in this deception, wake up and stop that stupid shit. \nTo the public. You are idiots, if you don't start sending this krap back and complaining to the manager. Do not accept their arguments about limited supply. They need to realign their menu's or step up. \n\nNot really worth returning until this changes.",
"I had been here only once before for lunch, so I decided to go back here for dinner yesterday with my fiance for my birthday. We had a coupon to use and decided to try their hibachi...and we were so glad that we did!\n\nOur waitress Jessika was super nice and friendly, and our hibachi chef Gary was awesome! Gary kept the kids entertained at our table (one of the kids mentioned that they liked Spongebob, so Gary used the rice and some extra things to make a shape of Spongebob) and chatted with everyone at the table...even played a game of throwing a piece of food at us to see if we could catch it in our mouths (I did!).\n\nMy fiance and I ordered the Chicken Teriyaki, the calimari and tilapia, gyoza, and a crunchy crab roll. The hibachi meals came with soup, salad, fried rice, veggies, and 2 pieces of shrimp. Everything was so delicious! I tried some of my fiance's tilapia and loved it so much that I may order it next time we visit here.\n\nI told them it was my birthday and they brought out a drum and entertained everyone in the room with singing Happy Birthday to me. :)\n\nAll in all, it was an amazing experience and I definitely look forward to returning here in the future! :D"

"This Korean BBQ restaurant is located next to the Assi Plaza store, tucked away near the Citizens bank. We were in PA visiting family for Thanksgiving and decided to increase the gluttony by going for Korean BBQ on Saturday. \n\nBeing from NYC, I often get good Korean food in K-town. Koko was as good, if not better, than the places in NYC. Their appetizers included a big bowl of salad with a delicious dressing that tasted like a diluted & sweetened version of kim-chee dressing. (If anyone knows what that dressing is called/where to buy it/how to make it, let me know!) We got the dolsot bimbimbop and the bulgoi bbq. The rice was not the usual white sticky rice but the wholesome purple grains. Their beef was very high quality and tasty. \n\nIt was fairly business for a weekend lunch but the service was still attentive. Prices were on par for NYC so might be a bit expensive by suburban PA standards. Would definitely come back the next time we're in the area.",
"Had a terrific dinner here on a Saturday night. We arrived between 6:30-7 and were seated immediately. By 7:20 there was a wait so I would suggest going earlier to avoid that. I really enjoyed the large variety of appetizers and the big bowl of salad that they bring out is delicious! We ordered the seafood pancake, tofu casserole, and kalbi. All 3 were excellent choices. I'm not entirely familiar with Korean cuisine but this was on par with Korean restaurants that I have been to in K-town as well. One thing I noticed though is that the waitstaff is not very attentive. It took awhile for us to place our orders and even longer (10 minutes) for the appetizers. The manager came out about 20 minutes after we were seated and introduced himself and it was from that point on that the service was on point. I really think our experience there would have been worse had it not been for Kim's supervision. The food was quite good so I'll definitely go back here the next time I am in the mood for Korean.",
"Wow...\n\nHow bad can an experience be, let me count the ways.....\n\nKimchi Jun....bland..bland..bland\n\nPan Chon....boring...and not very tasty at all....even my favortie the mung bean sprouts...not good\n\nSoon Dooba Chigae...spicy tofu stew....wow..it tasted like plastic...plus not that it was all that horrible, but they only had the rice with the black beans cooked in it...\n\nOverall, save yourself the money far to overpriced and eat at the Assi Plaza Foodcourt...you probably won't miss anything.\n\nI guess you have to have BBQ only...as the place was packed and the food was horrible...maybe the BBQ is good...but I'll never find out, as I'd rather go to Kim's Barbecue on 67th Street in East Oak Lane...Kalbi to die for...",
"I don't know if I've ever had worst Korean BBQ. Arrive a little before 7 pm and was seated right away. I order 1 serving of Kalbi which the kitchen had to cook. Food came out a lot quicker than it should have. This is the first Korean restaurant where the Kalbi was boneless. The meat was sliced thin, tough and flavorless. $23 with a soda.",
"Needed a good Korean food fix, and this place did just the job. Flavorful meats, good Korean flavors, and nice staff made it just what the doctor ordered. Coming from NYC where there are tons of Korean restaurants to choose from, Koko was really just as good.",
"Soondubu was good. It hit the spot on a cold night.\n\nMoms fish soup was not enjoyed. They used frozen fish instead of fresh fish. Trust me she knows the difference. They owned a fish market for 20 years. \n\nMy mom and dad raved about the doenjang chigae. They were pretty surprised at how good it was.\n\nJaeyuk bokum was good. At least, husband enjoyed it.\n\nBanchan was nothing to write home about but not bad.\n\nThe thing that bothered me was the service. It seemed very lax. We arrived at 8pm and they made it seem like we were inconveniencing them. Dining isn't all about the food. It's the experience too.",
"not bad, pretty good. service was great and the meat was perfectly marinated. slightly a little bit too expensive but overall it was worth it. i would only go for BBQ though. i would go there again",
"went up to hatfield to pick up some furniture. afterward was looking for lunch. all i can find were mall food. was getting desperate when we drove pass the Assi plaza and saw this korean restaurant from the road. decided to give it a try. this is about 2 PM and the restaurant was pretty empty. the host was nice and seated us quickly. we had dosoy bimbimbar and soft tofu stew with beef. i was impress with the stew, very flavorful. the bbb was okay. the little dishes were decent. \n\nby the time we finished, it is their lunch time. interestingly, the korean staff and the hispanic staffs were seated in separate tables but with the exact same food. not sure if is an owner does not mix with the help thing or what.",
"I have never actually been here during the day, but their nighttime karaoke rooms are excellent. Their wings and appetizers are really yummy. Their wings are especially unique, they're kind of a spicy sweet sticky glaze. The food can be a little pricey, but definitely worth the portion size. Also don't expect to come here for a long island iced tea or any specialty drinks, they tend to have trouble making them properly. Instead try the pineapple soju or any other type of Korean beverage that they specialize in. I recommend going to this place after about 10pm for a fun night out with friends or a party.",
"My family and I decided to have a dinner outing after flying in from a long flight. I wanted Korean BBQ. My step-mom happens to be Korean and is pretty good at picking out great Korean BBQ places to eat. She decided to take my sister and I to Korean BBQ KoKo. I have to admit, I loved the food! As many Korean BBQ places I have been to, this is my favorite!\n\nMy step-mom ordered the spare ribs, kal bi and shrimp for the bbq, which came with a salad. Along with it she ordered seafood with fish egg soup and cold noodles (which was amazing!). We also received, as compliments from the chef, fried fish, which practically melted in my mouth. The price here is reasonable.\n\nThe service is pretty decent here as well. The servers are usually on top of their game."

"A new family owned bakery and restaurant. Fresh delicious food, reasonable prices, and great decor! Serving fresh midetrranean desserts like baklava, falafel, hummus, and kebabs. Highly recommend trying their savory pies called fatayer.",
"Thank goodness for a new delicious, healthy food eatery on east bay! Excellent chicken kebab platter with grilled chicken and yummy seasoned rice. They even allow you to choose your salad that comes with it:) We also had a falafel pita that was well-made and tasty! Will be going back and highly recommend if you like healthy, delicious food in a super clean environment. My taste buds would love to try the pies next :)",
"Awesome clean place super yummy, delicious, and tasty food. They have different desserts, drinks, pies, platters, and wraps. The chicken shawarma is the BEST shawarma I've ever had, and the chicken kebab is super yummy as well. You should definitely stop by and try this deliciousness.",
"Probably the best hummus I have ever had. Local, family owned Mediterranean restaurant. The setup is quick service, you order at the counter, pay, and they bring to your table. I will certainly be visiting again during my lunch break.",
"Let me first state that i am originally from dearborn Heights Michigan , where its like little Beirut and u have all sorts of lebanese restaurant there ... 3 years later after i moved i can finally say i have had amazing Chicken Shawarma and even the beef shawarma was really good... I walled in to a nice setting , looks really good . Now this was my first visit and i am sure I'll be going back but for now i am completely satisfied ... This is in largo , so i hope a lot of people get introduced to Lebanese/Arab/Mediterranean food",
"Absolutely delicious food! Easily among the best Mediterranean food in all the bay area. Everything is home made and made with care. Staff are very friendly and gracious. Some of the deserts you simply cannot find in the area and the prices are great as well. Highly recommended.",
"The food here is fresh and delicious. You can tell a lot of love has gone into this place and I am so glad it's right on the corner near my house. Last night, we came for dinner and I had the chicken kabob with yellow rice, hummus and fattoush. My dinner was fantastic. For dessert I had the knafeh made from scratch. Today I'm in here for lunch and am going to try the chicken shawarma wrap and am sure to be just as satisfied as I was last evening. If you love a good home cooked Middle Eastern meal this is the place!\n\nI'd also like to note that the prices are very reasonable.",
"The food was amazing!!! So flavorful and fresh and at such a great price! The service was superb! They were accommodating, patient and very willing to explain and answer any questions. My family had an amazing time! Highly recommended!",
"Food is great. Love the falafel and baklava. Coffee is fantastic. Great lunch spot. Very clean and friendly.",
"Excellent homemade food. The place is very clean and they are very nice! We just moved out shop a month ago and we all have been there twice. This is a must stop spot for delicious food."

"So happy a smoothie shop opened up in Newtown. Greenstraw has an awesome selection. I had a fruit smoothie that was delicious.",
"Great smoothies made with coconut milk or almond milk, great for dairy free! Lots of gluten free snacks too! Super friendly and knowledgable staff!",
"My son and I were looking for a light dinner and decided to try Greenstraw Smoothies on Sycamore Street, the main drag in Newtown, Bucks County. It is a new place on the nicely redeveloped commercial district. \n\nThe menu consists of a long list of healthy drinks with fresh fruits and veggies, along with nutritional supplements to suit your particular need - Maca, Hemp protein, Flax Seed, Chia, Spirulina, Wheatgrass Juice, etc. The foundation of the smoothies are cow milk alternatives like Almond or Coconut Milk, Yogurt, and Fruit Juices. The combinations are surprisingly refreshing and tasty. \n\nI ordered a Leo's Favorite, consisting of Almond Milk, Apple Juice, Banana, Peanut Butter, Strawberries, Raspberries, and Greens. The resultant reddish blend was thick and smooth, but simply sucked through a straw (Yes. It was green). It was a pleasure to imbibe. My son had The Mango Tree, with Coconut Milk, Mango Juice, Banana, Mango Pieces, Pineapple, and Greens. The mix came out a ruddy greenish mash that was also quite good. We both smiled on first drought, and sampled each others drinks. \n\nI was definitely satisfied with my liquid dinner and was not hungry again last night. Young man needed a bit more sustenance after finishing his homework. \n\nThis is definitely a worthy spot for a healthy drink. The prices are reasonable at $5.75 for the middle sized concoction, which was quite filling. \n\nThere is also fair trade coffee available, but that will wait for another day. \n\nGood luck, Greenstraw.",
"Turn back the clock smoothie was very good. Hope they can come up with some nutrition info soon though. Very friendly and helpful with the menu items",
"Great smoothies! Would really like to see the nutritional info and calories!",
"I was very excited for Greenstraw Smoothies to open, but despite the short amount of time they have been open and the many times I have visited this shop, I have not had very good experiences there. I think it is overpriced, the owner is rude, and the smoothies honestly aren't that great. I could make better tasting smoothies at home myself and it would cost much less! The thing I disliked most is that all of their smoothies are made with stevia, unless requested otherwise, and this little fact is posted on the menu in very small font which is very hard to read. In my opinion, I think their smoothies shouldn't be sweetened unless requested otherwise. After I purchased a smoothie and realized there was stevia in it, I kindly asked the owner if I could get another smoothie without stevia in it, (May I add I got a kids size of the smoothie) and she told me no. From what I know from being in the restaurant business, you should accommodate your customers in any way possible to make them happy, this may include making them a new smoothie. The owner told me that she would not switch this smoothie out with a new one for me, she also told me that she was in the \"process of creating a larger sign on the counter to tell customers about the stevia.\" Funny thing is, on that day I was there, there was no sign...So instead of accommodating the customer and making a new smoothie in a KIDS SIZE, she lost a reoccurring customer. My family and friends come here pretty often as well and have had some rude encounters with the owner as well, and they have also told me that they would not like to come back either.",
"Green Straw has the best smoothies I have ever tasted. They are amazing. I have been drinking a smoothie every day for 5 years and have tried many places - Green Straw is by far the best. There is nothing close to it. \n\n The banana whips are great as well! I love the fact that they offer wheat grass shots and other fresh juices as well as other healthy snacks and small meals. If I lived closer to Newtown I would be in there every day (probably multiple times). The staff is very friendly and the owners are great (very warm and knowledgeable). Great feel good atmosphere and having wifi is a huge plus. \n\nI recommend Green Straw to all my friends especially because it is very kid friendly. Greeen Straw is by far the best thing that happened to Newtown in 2013.",
"I am THRILLED that Greenstraw is open in Newtown and find myself stopping there almost every time I'm in town. It's super convenient to have a place nearby that sells a variety of healthy options. I've actually lost about 10 lbs since they opened, which I partially contribute to having access to quick & easy healthy food.\n\nPersonally, I love the juices, but I have also tried a couple smoothies which were very tasty. Since I don't drink dairy, I was happy to see that they use a variety of dairy substitutes like Almond Milk and Coconut Milk. \n\nThe owner & staff are always super welcoming. I've been to other juice & smoothie bars in the past that act bothered by the more complicated orders but that is never the case at Greenstraw. They're always knowledgable and willing to answer questions about the food.",
"Greenstraw Smoothies has to be the best Newtown store opening in years! Everyone knows the classic saying \"You are what you eat.\" With Greenstraw's delicious smoothies, I can now put all natural and healthy ingredients into my body while still satisfying my sweet tooth. \n\nIn addition there is a large variety of smoothies which prevents me from ever getting bored. Even my kids are on board. Instead of asking for a trip to the ice cream store, they want smoothies from GreenStraw.\n\nThe owner and staff couldn't be friendlier. They are eager to answer questions or make suggestions based on your individual tastes. I only wish they had opened years ago.",
"Everyday I make my way over to Sycamore Street for my Kale, lemon and Apple Smoothie with Ginger and my Acai Bowl!! Not only do I love the taste but I haven't gotten so much as a cold and I have so much more energy. The staff are wonderful and the place is Immaculate.. I am really grateful that Green straw is in my town!!!"

"New discovery by me during the beer marathon last time home in New Orleans. We just finished a long night of drinking at the Dog and we were starving. South of the border was a bit too far so lucky us this place was right around the corner. \n\nDo food taste better when you're drunk? I must say we were blasted the first night we were here and yeah that spicy sausage burger was ROLLIN'. \n\nThe next time I was here I was nice and sober, well at least when I was eating the burger. Yep it was just as good. \nSo if you're around city park and you got the munchies =) this would be the place to stop. \n\nBonus: they serve their draft in frozen mugs. Huge plus in my books",
"One of the best burgers in town. Several beers on tap. Full bar. Great fries. Long menu. Large space with booths and a long, long bar. There are pool tables in the back and video poker machines along the walls.",
"Always my favorite burger in the city, although I still have others to try. They are very busy today due tongue World Cup, however, service is still top notch. Beer (Abita Amber) is really cold, which is always a plus. Not a whole lot of beers available on tap, but plenty in bottled. Hamburger is great as always, really big and juicy with a great flavor. A few downfalls about this place. 1. No real bacon, just bits. 2. Burger covered which shredded non melted cheese. 3. No side items, on appetizer sizes which is entirely too much for one person. The latter two seem to be pretty common in the area. This place is a must visit if you are a burger lover like myself. You will not be disappointed.\n\nLet's not forget that this is a bar, a pretty darn good one at that. A large shaped bar with probably 15-20 seats. Also, about 5 or 6 large booths to sit at as well, but don't expect them to come serve you. If you want something, you must go to the bar to order it. 3 video poker machines, gold tee, bowling, and a couple of pool tables in the back and a kick ass digital jukebox to go with it.",
"This place is a decent bar, with a great burger. Although it isn't quite as good as port of call, I'd say the patty is at least as good. Nevertheless the cheese and bun are only 2nd best. Try the bacon blue cheese fries. those things rocked.",
"Great burger. I mean great. The burger was as big as my head, no joke. The bacon cheese fries were outstanding. I would definitely go here again!",
"Great Happy hour, great burgers, pool tables, and familiar faces. What more do you need in a neighborhood bar?\n\nMy wife and I go about once a week and we have never been disappointed. If you live in the Mid-City/Lakeview/Bayou St. John area, I highly encourage you to come and relax and this no frills lounge.",
"Good burgers, otherwise standard bar-food. The Mr. likes the place, but that's probably only because they have bikini contests. Hm...",
"Great neighborhood dive bar. Good burgers and fries for reasonable prices. Perfect stop after Jazzfest or a night of barhopping. Love the casual dive atmosphere. Been here sev times and would def go back again.",
"AAH the Beach Corner. When I lived in Lakeview this was a frequent spot for me. Now that I am a bit older I don't get to come as much as I would like but it's still a solid little joint. The food is really good. They make a mean burger and cheese fries. If you are hungry and in the area, I recommend grabbing a bite here. Service gets a bit slow when they are super crowded but it is still efficient.",
"This is the place to go when you want a Big affordable burger. The Burger is 10oz of Beef served on a regular bun. They offer a varitey of toppings and cheese. The salads are big, chicken tenders come buffulo or regular, drinks are good with great prices. I ordered a burger, Long Island Tea and my total was 10 bucks. This is a nice place to come with a few friends, shoot some pool, order a burger, have some drinks and listen to some music. Beware of seating if you go late in the evening, it get crowded at about 7:00. Parking is on the street, but there is always a spot."

"chef chun is amazing! im suprised that it only has one review. Yen(the owner) is a very very nice lady! here are the item you MUST try spring roll,beef on stick,shrimp wonton soup(so much better than regular wonton) fried wonton( she uses chicken,shrimp, and cheese which makes them so unique),wonton in hot sesame sauce(its in some kind of peanut sauce which is out of this world).",
"When I can't get to China Town Philly I follow the spring rolls to \"Chef Chun\" in Sewell, Wash. Township, NJ. The food is very delicious and the staff is on point. Yen (The Owner) is a sweetie. She makes sure that you are comfy and well taken care of. If you choose take-out the service is still great. So if you can't make it down to China Town Philly no worries you have a small taste of it right in your own backyard, right here at Chef Chun's Sewell, NJ.",
"Chef Chun has some of the most amazing Chinese food in south Jersey. The shrimp wonton soup is spectacular; the wontons are so fresh and the broth is perfect! Keep in mind that they're closed on Monday.",
"I come here for the lunch specials often! They have amazing food and the owner is the sweetest little lady ever. I love giving them my business. I've been going there for the last 15 years and I've never ha a bad experience.",
"My favorite Chinese food place in the area. Standard for take out. Very courteous staff, ample seating and good food.\n\nI enjoy the wonton soup most of all.",
"A local's first choice for chinese food. Take out is good but eating in the place is better. Friendly staff and good service is key.",
"The BEST chinese food place around. Everything tastes as if it was just prepared.\n\nI suggest the shrimp egg roll, shrimp wonton soup and the Singapore Rice Noodles. \n\nWe've been here numerous times and it is consistently good food. Most placed can't manage that. \n\nThe woman working at the front is sweet. Everyone's friendly. \n\nThey don't deliver, but do take-out. A lot of take-out. Which is good, but I suggest you eat in, its so worth it. \n\nOh, even better, its BYOB!",
"I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, probably because I;ve had so much bad Chinese. This place was excellent. Spotless inside. Friendly service and great food. Lettuce wraps were yummy!",
"I don't care what authentic Chinese food is. Everything here is awesome. Best General's Chicken in the World. In fact, I often daydream that it's raining General Tso's from Chef Chun. And I'm frolicking through a meadow catching pieces with a butterfly net. A tad pricey for the portions, but...Great place!",
"Still as delicious as ever. Went again tonight. This place is so damn cozy. Its like my mom perfected her Chinese cuisine and was cooking for me in our home kitchen. Love it."

"The food is the standard burgers, nachos, chicken strips, etc. Food is good, if only a little overpriced.",
"I love this place and it's pretty close to home! JJ's has really great burgers and pizza. The burgers are fresh and made daily and never frozen. Even the bison burger isn't frozen. There are lots of specialty burgers to choose from, which I like. They have a really good blue cheese and bacon burger, called the Black and Blue (I think). The other menu items not too not worthy, but not terrible. Just your standard American fair for those who don't like to venture out of their safe place. The french fries are regular ol' crinkle cut, but I love them so it works out for me. \n\nOnto the pizza. I ordered a personal size pepperoni and mushroom, my standard. It was awesome gooey cheese-y, gooey-ness. They probably use provel and that is fine by me and thin crust. The personal pizza was enough for me to be full. A small salad might have been nice, but the pizza was already $9 or so. \n\nBreakfast is good. It's been over a year since I have been for breakfast, but it is your standard eggs, bacon and pancake type stuff. It's definitely time for another visit.\n\nI've visited for lunch and was in and out. I like it when I don't have to ask for the check. I've also walked in a half an hour before close and was treated just as nice as if it was opening time. We didn't realize they closed so early so we hurried up, but there was no rush at all. Our server was so nice and helpful! I asked her lots of questions about the burgers and pizza and she had all of the answers and was nice about it. That makes me so happy. \n\nEveryday JJ's has a special, it's listed on the board as soon as you walk in. They're good specials, too! Like all you can eat fish and chips and kids eat free. I can't remember the specific days for them. \n\nThe decor is like a run down Applebee's with a car theme. Everything is old, but I like it some alter ego way. \n\nJJ's hosts car shows once a month or so from 4pm-8pm (I think). The parking lot is full of old cars and their owners waiting for you come come by and take a look. The restaurant and bar offer specials on those days spacial for the car show. \n\nJJ's is an all around cool place.",
"We've been having breakfast at J.J.'s for decades. You just can't beat the prices, food quality, and waitstaff. They've done a lot of redecorating over the years, and they just put up a brand new sign....but they are the same J.J.'s that we fell in love with.\n\nThey have a great breakfast menu, and everything is fresh - eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, country fried steak....yum! Have the Big Breakfast, which includes eggs, meat, toast, hash browns, biscuits and gravy for less than ten bucks. Last weekend, on a whim, I tried the waffles for the first time and they were freshly made, crisp and delicious. \n\nI highly recommend skipping the long lines at the chain breakfast places, and stop in at J.J.'s!",
"Pretty solid place for burgers, appetizers, and food that is on the indulgent side of the spectrum. We stopped in after 8 p.m. on Friday night, starving. It took a minute to get seated, but we received great service once we did. Our waitress Rachel was attentive and helpful, which was appreciated being this was our first time here. We thought it was pretty boss that they bring you a big pitcher full of popcorn when they seat you.\n\nThe food prices were average, but we scored a half-price deal on wings and Bosco sticks (Fridays and Saturdays only after 8). The Bosco sticks were a tiny bit overcooked, but still fine. The wings were pretty average; we'd get them again if we were there, but we wouldn't seek them out otherwise. \n\nBoth the hubby and I ordered burgers. They didn't ask us how we wanted them cooked, and honestly we were too hungry to care. My husband got a regular cheeseburger and thought it was great, particularly the toasted sesame bun. I got a burger with cheddar, BBQ sauce, and onion rings. I usually like a medium-rare patty but the flavor of the whole burger was so good, I didn't mind the well done patty.\n\nMy husband and I are on different planes when it comes to french fries, so we were pleasantly surprised to have fry options. Hubby got the skinny fries, and I got the crinkle cuts; hooray for variety!\n\nWe ordered way more food that we could eat, and ate way more of it than we should have, but it was a fun outing for sure. Not the kind of restaurant to make a habit of visiting if you want to survive heart disease, but it was fun to indulge in the treat.",
"This is one of our staples. When we are ready for a burger, we head straight to JJs. Great burgers. Always great, smiling service. We've never had to wait, regardless of how busy the restaurant is. The kids really like it too, and they especially love the unlimited popcorn.\n\nYay for carrying Diet Dr. Pepper.",
"Decent food. This place is kind of a dive, but in a good way. Beware - if you order a double burger of any variety, it is absolutely massive. Think Man vs. Food-type of massive. \n\nTonight I ordered a steak with green beans and chicken enchilada soup. The soup was thick and very spicy. The green beans were bland and seemed canned... it took quite a bit of salt to make them edible. However, I was actually impressed with the steak. For the price, it wasn't bad at all. My 8-oz. sirloin was cooked to perfection and surprisingly tender. \n\nI can't say the food at JJ's is the absolute best I've ever had, but it's definitely solid. A three star rating seems about right. JJ's is A-OK.",
"First off this place is old...but that I can deal with. What I can't deal with is the month-old popcorn they dish out of who knows where to put on your table as you walk in and the blaring 60's music that is so ever present. The burgers are good, but the grease drips off of the burger everywhere so very messy. If you want something you will regret .5 seconds after eating then this place is it. Staff was really nice and helpful but I won't be going back b/c if the popcorn is that old I would imagine everything else is.",
"It was my first time here. I liked the place and the throwback décor, and I loved the cheeseburger I had. It was a big thin patty on a toasted bun with a generous amount of fresh condiments. I didn't think I could eat it all, but guess what.....? The crinkle cut fries were the perfect accompaniment. I tried some of my buddy's pizza, and it was good, too (talk about a cracker-type crust). The service was friendly and efficient and we were even offered to-go refills for our drinks.",
"We just moved over here and wanted to check it out! The food tasted like it had been sitting out all morning. Eggs, bacon, toast. Everything was disgusting. I didn't think anyone could mess up breakfast, but they sure did!!",
"JJ's has become my go-to place for dinner if I don't feel like cooking, mainly because it's directly outside my apartment complex. But even if it were I'd still probably visit because the food is solid, the price decent, and I love diners.\n\nSo far I've visited for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.\n\nBreakfast was typical diner format. I liked the corned beef hash. I wish the hash was cooked a little more to get the crust on it. The rest of the meal, eggs, bacon, toast, etc. were done well and tasty.\n\nThe real reason to visit is the burgers. You only need a single, the double is huge. here's a big list of different specialty burgers with everything from \"Cajun spices\" (I'm from South Louisiana, it's not Cajun) to a fried egg to onion rings. Don't like burgers? Sub out a turkey burger or chicken breast for free. That's right, free. Burgers come with a side, your choice of fries or house made chips, or onion rings or a salad for an extra charge.\n\nThey have special throughout the week, including Free Pie Wednesday where you get a free slice with your dinner.\n\n\nSo, here's the tough part and the big downside: like many restaurants in St. Charles JJ's allows smoking. Yes, there's two different rooms, one smoking and one non, but that smoke is still there even faintly and I don't care for it when I'm eating. Best solution: get it to go."

"Ok this place is open again and has a decent ambiance and nice servers. This, coupled with some delicious rolls, allowed the two star rating. I ordered the ribeye and can honestly say I've had more tender jerky. The green beans were undercooked and the potatoes wereawful. Really don't recommend eating here, but drinks at the bar are fine.",
"I really enjoyed going here 10 years ago and was looking forward to trying it now that it was open again. I am sorry to say the food was terrible. Service was so, so. They were not bringing rolls out unless you asked for them. I had a prime rib that had to be one of the worst I have ever had. Half of it was nothing but fat and the other part was not chewable. Sorry, but unless they improve quickly this place won't last six months.",
"Where is the love for Patrick's?\n\nI admit , this place has had a huge identity crisis for the past ... what... 7 or 8 years? first time I went there was in 2001 , when it was Patrick's, and then it turned into the St. Louis sports hall of fame, and then it turned into Pujol's 5, and now it's Patrick's again.\n\nThis place HAS employed the same people though (or at least the ones that wanted to stay) so that's cool regardless... I'm not certain as to why it's changed ownership or investor ship but that's not what this review is about.\n\nThis restaurant is going through visible recovery pains. You will see corners that have stacks of Pujol's posters and the tables have chairs with \"5\" still carved into the seat backs. but the food is really top notch here. \n\nTake a look at the picture of that pot pie. it includes one of the flakiest tastiest crusts I've ever had with a pot pie. It was crumbly flaky and buttery like a croissant but even tastier and more flavorful. The Bison Burger is fantastic too, a real treat!\n\nI only had a chance to eat here once while I was on my St. Louis trip this year however I did get a chance to partake in the bars beers during the night and the bartender and waitresses were very nice and accommodating.\n\nI'm hoping that this place picks up and more people try their food and report about it here because everyone deserves a second..er..4th chance!! \n\nI look forward to returning next year!",
"It's too bad that there are not a lot of reviews for this place. It's clear that that this restaurant has some identity issues. So much so that there is another Yelp page for it's alter ego, The St Louis Sports Hall of Fame Bar and Grill. As a matter of fact, I think I'll just cut/paste this review over there...\n\nCall it want you want, but just go there and give it a shot. The food that I had was great, and the service was excellent. I had the opportunity to meet the father and son that own and run the place, and they were hands-on and eager to make sure that we were comfortable.\n\nThe circumstances in which we came to eat at Patrick's was unfortunate. We had lost a friend, and were scrambling to find a place that could accomodate 50+ people following the funeral. After speaking with the banquet manager and explaining the situation, they practically bent over backwards to help out. Simply knowing that there is as much character in the team that works there is enough for me to keep coming back to the restaurant.\n\n...and it doesn't hurt that the food, the atmosphere, and the beer is as strong as their character.",
"OK happy hour, decent apps- I like the chicken nachos and their boneless wing special (60 cents each). Tons of tvs, so great for watching any games. Lots of space for large groups.",
"It's official, Patrick's is an EXCELLENT place to have a good time.\n\nPatrick's came through for my friends and I earlier this year, so I wanted to return the love and bring them some more business. I had a holiday party to plan, and I knew that they were up to the task. Once again, I worked with the amazing Larisa, and the end result was a wonderful evening.\n\nOur group had about 25 folks in attendance, and they put us up in one of their private rooms that overlooked the courtyard. It was a beautiful room, and we were handled by a couple of great servers. The food was tasty, and the beer and wine was flowing. Our price point was comfortable, and we even came in under budget!\n\nOutside of the wonderful space and good food, I just want to highlight the management of this restaurant. Yes, this place has gone through a lot of changes in the past, but what matters is what they have to offer now. I plan a lot of events like this, and Patrick's is ranked high on my list for their customer service. My event details were ever-changing, but Larisa was a pro at her job. The contracts, the conversations, the recommendations were all first-class, and that should be recognized.\n\nSo, good on you, Patrick's! I look forward to coming back for dinner, happy hours, and just a beer in front of the game.",
"My co-workers and I hit Patrick's for a Friday happy hour. I hadn't been to this location since 2011, when it was Pujols 5. Perhaps it was the alcohol, or perhaps it really was that great, but we had a wonderful time!\n\nFirst of all - shout out for keeping my favorite menu item from a past visit - the Hall of Fame Salad (formerly the Pujols Salad http://www.yelp.com/biz/pujols-5-grill-st-louis#hrid:oZNVWKyXPBOnv68JPO_qMw) - yum!\n\nNow - our recent visit. I appreciated the extensive list of happy hour specials including half price apps, $3 margaritas, $5 wines and martinis, and beer specials. As a non-beer drinker, my wallet is often depressed by the lack of non-beer discounts. Happy hour goes until 7 - not too shabby! We enjoyed apps of skins, sliders, chipotle chicken nachos, et al. Everyone seemed happy, and from what I had, all was tasty. Our waitress was much more attentive, and the bar staff was obviously much more adept than the ones when I previously visited Pujols 5.\n\nIf this continues, I'll be happy to bring people back for another happy hour!",
"Went here for the first time today. Was seated quickly, drink order taken right away and placed on table shortly after. Ordered the steak Philly and it was very good. The fries were seasoned just right and crispy outside yet fluffy inside. Drink never got empty and server was friendly.",
"My dad's side of the family and I (a total of 17 people) headed to Patrick's for our once-monthly dinner. I had heard that the food was just \"eh\" here, but I have to disagree! The menu was really diverse and I'm pretty sure ANYONE could find something they like there. I found it interesting that they served Greek food as well...seems a bit odd for a pub-like atmosphere. Anyway, I digress. Back to the noms. I ordered the Mediterranean pizza, which was an amazing mix of huge chunks of feta cheese (drool), grilled chicken, kalamata olives, and a tomato-basil sauce. It was so good and a great portion; I ate half for lunch the next day. It was very filling and I was happy with the concoction. It's not often a bar/grill serves Mediterranean food and does it right. \n\nThe only reason I didn't give this place another star was the atmosphere. First off, it was FREEZING in there. I'm naturally a cold person, but even the big burly men in our party were chilled. When we asked them to turn the AC down, the waiter said there was nothing he could do. Very disappointing as we sat in our 95 degree car in the middle of the summer for 10 minutes after eating simply to warm up...",
"FKA Pujols 5, and I believe prior to that FKA as Patricks. None the less not a lot I can say about this place beside that it is relatively average. The menu has some good salad options, and unique Greek menu but outside of that mostly just average burgers and sandwiches. I generally go with the hall of fame salad, which is solid with a unique mix of greens, strawberries, grapes, haricot verts, chicken, and vinegrette. \n\nThey do have a large outdoor seating area and some great little pre dinner rolls they bring around. They're service is ok, I've been left waiting for things and timing was not their strong suite."

"Great new sandwich shop located in a strip mall just north of Chippewa on Hampton. Fresh-baked bread, hand cut fries, BLTs, tuna salad ,egg salad, chicken salad, turkey melt, Reuben, Patty melt, black bean burger turkey burger and beef burger. They offer housemate chips, potato salad, slaw, hand cut fries and sweet potato fries. All sides are only $1.25 with a sandwich (under $8.25. The Reuben and sweet potato fries are awesome! The owner is very friendly and the service is fast. Small seating area available.",
"Stopped in for a family lunch. The kids had the chicken fingers and toasted ravs, each with fries. Plates were licked clean. The chicken seemed like it might have been a whole chicken breast, chopped up, breaded, and fried. Tasted very fresh. And the ravs were described as \"mini meat pies\" - they were \"great\", according to the little man. I had the veggie hummus wrap. Good flavor, nice veggie mix. Could have used a little more, but the sweet potato fries rounded out the meal nicely. Hubby had the reuben and brussels. Both were delicious. We will be back.",
"New hidden gem in south city! \n\nFountain soda is legit!!! And the burger and sweet potato fries are my faves! Grilled cheese is also a solid choice and reasonably priced for my toddler.",
"Hidden gem indeed! Meandered in on a Saturday afternoon and it was quiet. There's 8 tables so its quaint with a really casual vibe. The food though...kicks you in the mouth in a great way! I got the special, Asian Flavors Chicken Wrap. It was sweet and savory with a hit of heat. Absolutely great. Everything is a la carte...so its not really cheap. My wrap and soda came to $10.50, which is ok.\n\nNutshell: absolutely make the stop! The food is fresh and flavorful and the atmosphere is really easy going. I'm definitely coming back for a burger.\n\nExtra tidbit: THEY HAVE SKI! Southern Illinois kids, you know what I'm talking about ;). No commercial sodas here.",
"This place has one of the best burgers I've ever had- they rival The Dam's, and honestly I think they're better. The char on the outside is absolutely delicious- Mike is a great chef. And the fries, oh my goodness. Seriously incredible. GO HERE, you will not be disappointed! Feast Magazine, RFT, The Post Dispatch, and everyone else needs to review this place and give it the attention it deserves!",
"Absolutely amazing! This place is small in size but large in taste. The Fiance and I had the burger and it was the best in this area, by far. It's a nice charred steak burger on a perfectly toasted bun with truly fresh produce to top it. I opted for the sweet potato fries and they came with this incredible maple glaze. The owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this place to anyone. We will certainly be back.",
"Very good lunch spot!!! Everything made in house. Reasonably priced as well. BYOB too.",
"F&B Eatery is a quaint little sandwich shoppe serving both hot and cold sandwiches. The burgers are hand pressed and grilled to your liking, my medium temperature is always done right. They also, hand cut their house fries regular or sweet potato, which is a nice touch. Being small, they put a lot of details and preparation into their sammies. The garnishes; lettuce, tomato and onion are available upon request. \n\nTheir soda offerings are local - they have Excel available on the fountain and the have bottled Ski in a cooler.\n\nThe staff is friendly and as you become a regular diner, they'll remember your name. F&B Eatery is a good addition to my neighborhood. I'm looking forward to going back and enjoying a Rueben on my next visit.\n\nWhen: February 17, 2016\nWhy: Lunch",
"I just finish a very well made hamburger from here. It was perfectly cooked and placed on an excellent bun. The real highlight of my meal was the house made chili. There was just the right amount of heat and the spice blend gave it a great flavor.\n\nThe owner/chef has the right mix of talent and personality. In between customers he took time to talk with his patrons. I can't wait to get back here and try some of the other offerings on his menu.",
"F&B's is a cozy lunch/occasional dinner spot on Hampton in South City. I ate their chicken salad sandwich on wheat w/ a side of hand cut fresh fries. The bun was toasted and buttered with a decent portion of their chicken salad. The fries were excellent and the Excel-only soda selection was a pleasant surprise. I'm not much of a soda drinker but always go for locally owned Excel when it's available. For $9 the value is average. Customer service was friendly."

"Man I love this place!!!! The service is always exceptional, especially on our last visit! They are always eager to please and super attentive. The food is equally amazing!! I am a huge fan of the California Chicken Burger but everything else is pretty darn good too. This is a great place to go if you have kids because they give out free balloons and coloring pages with crayons and it's always lively so you don't have to worry about them being too loud. They have a full bar too which is nice for a burger joint. YUM!",
"How the hell does Dead Robin hit the list of top restaurants in Boise. This place is everything that's wrong with our restaurant scene. The burgers are exactly the same as every chain restaurant in town. \n\nBurgers are way over priced and entrees taste like they were pre-packaged and dropped off by the Sysco truck: bland, white bread boring food. I refuse to believe that this is one of our top rated restaurants. If it truly is, this is a very sad place.",
"Yep, it's chain food, but pretty good stuff. Always good service.",
"Nothing special, just another chain restaurant. To the other poster about knocking chain restaurants. It does matter, because I've never had a chain restaurant meal that was very good. They don't have any leeway to offer anything other than what corporate approves. Everything is shipped in frozen so that every restaurant tastes the same, which equates to bland average food that you can get anywhere. If that's what you like, then by all means go there. Not my idea of a good meal.\n\nIt always cracks me up when people travel to another city, and then they eat at a chain restaurant to get the same bland crap that they can get in their own home town. Much better food can definitely be had for better prices.",
"Ordered from the Allergen menu. Staff was attentive and knowledgable. Good stuff.",
"Love this place! It's a perennial choice for celebrating those great victories in life -- straight A's, winning a race, being done with finals. The food is nearly always perfect, and when it's not, they take care of it to make it so. The Royal Red Robin burger's my favorite. The bottomless sweet potato fries, however, are a major dietary problem, 'cause I eat too many of them. :) \n\nWe've had a lot of really good servers at RR, but last nite as we celebrated my wife's birthday, Patrick was great -- perhaps the best we've ever had. Very attentive, but gave us our space. \n\nIf you haven't given RR on Eagle Rd a try, you owe it to yourself!",
"Their Freckled Lemonade is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Great fries and seasoning to put on them!!!",
"The Meridian red Robin is worth the drive from Nampa. The service and the meal were great.",
"We had a great family dinner. A full bar made dad happy, a great salad for mom and a great kids menu for the little one. I even got cheesecake to go!",
"it's a great Red Robin. lots of options on the fries, sides, sauces & burgers. easy to go dairy-free, veg or vegan. service here is hit or miss on timeliness & attentiveness but ALWAYS FRIENDLY. :D"

"Who doesn't love cheese? Well this was a perfect spot to get your grilled cheese. \n\nThe workers were wonderful and very pleasant. The food was prepared quickly and when they say 2 mins it's literally 2 mins. I ordered the Brielle which was brie, cranberry chutney , caramelize onions , pine nuts on brioche with a side of kettle chips. The sandwich was cheesy and very tasty. I like the combination of cranberry and the brie , it blended well together and it was delicious. \n\nI would definitely come back here again.",
"Ordered the Valley Thunder: \"'Valley Thunder' cheddar, Bubbe's beef brisket and baked macaroni and cheese.\" The lone slice of brisket was pulled out with the first bite, and revealed itself to be more fat than meat. Cheese in the middle was unmelted, and if there was macaroni and cheese in there, I couldn't detect it.\n\nFor what it's worth, the cheese was tasty, the toasting on the bread was nicely done, and the staff was friendly. But given that it isn't all that hard to make a really good grilled cheese sandwich at home, this needed to be a lot more to be worth almost nine dollars.\n\nUPDATE: The manager has gotten in touch with me, apologizing for the quality of my sandwich and inviting me to come back and try them again. I'm going to do that, and will update my review afterward. For the present, please treat the above review as the result of a newly-opened shop undergoing its growing pains.",
"Overall very good food, I got half a valley thunder and half a \"popewich special\". The cheeses tasted fantastic and the meats seemed very fresh. Service was very fast and everyone was super nice. \n\nThe \"designer\" drinks they have are delicious, especially Mash. They also have Boylans on tap. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the prices were a little high for the portion of food that you're receiving. After all, it's a grilled cheese..",
"I visited this place a few weeks ago, and had a disappointing experience (see below). After posting my review, the manager got in touch with me, apologizing for the poor quality, which she ascribed to the fact that the store had only recently opened and the staff was still in its break-in period (a reasonable explanation). She also invited me to try them again. \n\nI've recently revisited them unannounced (so hopefully they didn't recognize me and take special efforts that other people might not get), and am happy to upgrade my rating. This time around I tried the Melter Skelter, \"Raclette, pickled green tomatoes, jalapeno, bbq potato chips[!] and watercress. That was one of the sandwiches I considered trying in my original visit, and I backed off of it in favor of the Valley Thunder because I was afraid of how well all those conflicting flavors were going to play with each other.\n\nTurns out the combination was much more harmonious than I anticipated. The sandwich was nicely prepared and the cheese was well-melted and in good proportion. The jalapenos are finely chopped and applied more with an eye towards flavor than heat -- combining with the Swiss-like raclette, it came off as as kind of stretchier jalapeno jack. The chips, which softened a little but still had some texture to them and the watercress added nice spice and green counterpoints. What was kind of missing-in-action were the green tomatoes, which were clearly visible in the sandwich but didn't really proclaim themselves in the flavor. Then again, I haven't had any experience with this vegetable, so given that every ingredient was employed to mesh with each other, it's just as likely that the tomatoes' contribution was just subtle enough not to fully stand out.\n\nI am frankly relieved to post a better review for this place -- on both visits the staff was friendly and clearly eager to please, so I regretted that my first experience did not live up to expectations. I'll leave it to others to weigh in on whether they've upped their game with the Valley Thunder -- the Helter Skelter works for me and I'll be looking forward to trying their specials (and maybe, next time, that tomato soup) soon.",
"I decided to treat myself for a lunch out at this new little restaurant close to work. Had a great Brielle sandwich (Bri with cranberry chutney, caramelized onions, and toasted pine nuts). It reminded me of Thanksgiving, especially paired with a pumpkin shake (best part of the meal). I ordered a side of tomato soup, which was ok, but I'm admittedly not a tomato soup fan. The combo worked however on a rainy day. I'm knocking it down a star because over $16 is a bit much for lunch.",
"Any time a new spot opens up a couple blocks from my house, I get pumped. I read reviews about the location in Reading Terminal which I have never been to so I had high expectations. Unfortunately, I was let down. It's really hard to mess up grilled cheese but this specific location may be experiencing some growing pains. I ordered the Valley Thunder: cheddar, Bubbe's beef brisket and baked macaroni and cheese. \n\nFirst thought, how could you go wrong? Apparently you can. Mac n cheese was damn near indistinguishable with the cheese because it was so mushy. The amount of brisket in the sandwich was just sad. Slices were literally the thickness of piece of paper folded in half. The edges of the sandwich were crispy, not in a good way. They were so burnt, you couldn't bite into it; it was literally inedible. \n\nI'll toss it up to rough growing pains for this new location. Hopefully they figure it out. I'll give it another shot in a couple weeks.",
"Good: Nice atmosphere and friendly staff\nBad: 1) For $10 I expected more than a couple drops of brisket that I could barely taste on my sandwich 2) Too greasy and frankly I just didn't enjoy it, maybe Im just spoiled from trying Say Cheese for the first time but I at least expected something that tasted better than a grilled cheese I make for myself",
"The food is great. They make a great gluten free sandwich that is close to work. That being said the service less than great. There is only one person at the counter and it takes forever to order because they need to tell everyone about everything they order. Most people don't have time to spend 15 minutes waiting to order and then another 10 for sandwich. It's a let down from the Reading Terminal location.",
"Ehm. It was ok. I spent 11.04 for a sandwich and a cookie. The sandwich did not live up to my expectations. The mac and cheese on the sandwich didn't have much cheese. The sandwich was kinda skimpy. The cookie from 4th st cookies, was not made today. I don't know if I will be back.",
"I was on my way to Jimmys next door when I saw this. I got interested.. So I walked in and took 5 minutes to absorb the resume and I was unable to choose what I wanted. 2 of everything??\n\nAnyways I ordered the melter Skelter with a vanilla milkshake that had butterfingers pieces in it. It was amazing.. I know where to go for dinner tomorrow!\n\nAlso the customer experience was phenomenal. I was very impressed."

"Yes, it's greasy... but when pizza tastes this good, it's worth it! The special combo of cheeses makes this pizza unique and darn good!",
"Garbage overpriced pizza. $18 for mushy dough with mass production cheese melted barely on top. And the lovely sight of every possible New Castle County white tattooed thug guy drinking Buds and chain smoking on the porch. Skip it.",
"Good, greasy, basic pizza - a little expensive for what it is.\nPlus they sell gelato, subs & salads.",
"This is a Review of Grotto Pizza in general...Excellent Pizza! They use White Cheddar instead of Mozzarello, and they put the cheese on first so the sauce doesn't make the crust soggy. This is definitely a must have if you're at the Delaware shore!",
"So the pizza is decent as long as the 10 buck one topping special continues. Decent won't cut it when the price for a one topping pizza climbs to 14/15 dollars. Also the \"jumbo chicken tenders\" for 8.99? You only get 4.",
"Okay, so the pizza is not empirically good, per se - but you know when you associate really, really pleasant memories with food, and by complete association of this foodstuff - when you eat it, it tastes so much better because of that association?\n\nGrotto's Pizza is one of those foodstuffs for me. The pizza, crust, sauce and cheese is generic, sauce veers towards sweet, and the whole lot can be really greasy at times, but it is perfect for what it is. \n\nThe association? It was the pizza of 'yore, consumed by me in my younger years sometimes by the beach, sometimes in Newark - but this particular location holds a special place in my heart. Good memories galore. When times were simpler and when pizza was just that: Pizza. \n\nLike all other Grotto's, it has a long history in Delaware and it is super family friendly. You can bring all generations here, grab a basket of free popcorn on your way in - celebrate a kid's birthday - it's that kind of wholesome place . Menu is straight-forward, your standard fried fare with a children's menu offering little in the way of healthy, but more wings, cheesesteaks, pizza, full stop. The bar at this particular location used to be far more intimate, but they've made it bigger in the last five years. This is a good location to watch a game and meet up with friends for some pre-drinking (cheap big draft mugs) in Trolley Square, or if need be post-drinking pizza eating.\n\nNo need for a detour or special stop unless you're already in the 'hood.",
"before I had to stop eating gluten, I was not a big fan of the pizza at grotto. however, grotto (almost all locations in DE) has just started selling gluten free pizza so I thought I'd give it a try. apparently the pizza is made by still riding, not by grotto themselves. the crust is made from bean, rice & tapioca flour. fyi. \n\nfirst off, it's annoying that prices aren't listed on the website and they don't mention the delivery charge. $6 for a very basic salad is kind of insane. the pizza itself is tiny - it's a junior pizza at 9\", i.e. 4 small pieces, for $9.99. at least the toppings are cheaper than other pizza places, so that's a huge plus. that said, the pizza was pretty good - typical thin gf semi-crispy crust, not greasy or mushy, and definitely solves the occasional pizza craving.",
"upgrade! I am indeed a fan. after several more delicious tries, I think grotto's is my favorite gluten-free pizza (it's made by still riding) in the area. it's now $9 instead of $10 as printed on the menu, which is nice. the crust is crisp while the mid-crust is as close to chewy as you can get without gluten. it's a lot like eating real pizza. they also have redbridge at the bar (which is a pretty good beer whether you are GF or not).\n\nalso, I'm impressed with the customer service. delivery is quick and they handled a problem with my order super well, sending out a redelivery ASAP (croutons on my salad! no bueno!). \n\nNB: some people in the GF community have said they've had problems getting the wrong pizza, so I'd double check to make sure your pizza is in fact the GF version before you chow down.",
"This has been my favorite pizza in DE for a very long time. My go-yo pie: The Pepperoni Bianco. It is amazing. \n\nTheir food is OK and a bit pricey, but the pizza is well worth it.",
"Overpriced and slick marketing. Huge outside sign and website lists all these great drink and pizza deals, then when you go in and sit down, you find out the deals are only for a certain time or only available in the bar. Emailed management, but did not even receive so much as a reply. Way to take care of your customers. Want great pizza at a great price with great service? Try Portofino's in Old New Castle. I'll never eat Grotto's overpriced, greasy pizza again."

"Since Guantanamera this is the best Bandeja Paisa I have. Will keep coming to review other typical Colombian dishes",
"Really nice, make sure to read them the description of what comes with your food because last time they forgot my fries and egg that was included in my meal and when I asked them about it they said it didn't come with the meal yet it was on the menu under the description. Other than that delicious food.",
"The food was very tasty and the people very nice. Good music and a clean place. Can't wait to try other things on their menu.",
"Was looking for a Colombian restaurant in the area and found this place. The food was excellent. Good portions. reasonable price. Very satisfied with it. The place was nice and clean.",
"Great Colombian food. The beef empanadas and the pan de bono are my favorite! I had chicken with shrimp and my friend had carne encebollada.",
"Amazing!! Even our picky daughter loves the food. \nThe Columbian chorizo (sausage) was amazing, the steak and cheese grilled! So definetely be back, and order to go!",
"What an amazing Colombian restaurant having tried a couple in Nashville I can definitely say it is the best one! The flavor of the Bandeja Paisa is really good!",
"Delicious and authentic Colombian food. So glad we found this little spot during our trip to Nashville. So good we went in the next day! Must try Bandeja Paisa and carne asada.",
"If you are looking for some authentic Colombian food this is the place to come eat at! Definitely 10/10 recommend!",
"Empanadas are very good , I had the bandeja paisa and was good . \nWaitress was nice and answered all the questions my wife and I had .\nI would comeback for more empanadas for sure."

"We attended the soft opening, and enjoyed a variety of dishes off of their abbreviated pre-opening menu.\nThe baked gulf oysters with crawfish and lemon butter were fantastic. The table next to us got a dozen raw and they looked great as well. I overheard the manager mention the possibility of $1 Happy Hour Oysters, so that's extremely exciting for landlocked oyster lovers like myself.\nWe had gumbo (very good, but not quite as sharp of a roux as I prefer, but the texture was perfect) and a Caesar Salad () for course number two.\nOur main entrees were Cajun Pasta that was cooked perfectly in a rich cream sauce with a ton of crawfish and andouille sausage, and the Cajun Burger made with brisket and andouille and cooked to perfection as well.\nDidn't try out the bar, but I'll be back for Happy Hour. The service and food were both fantastic, and this genre of restaurant with reasonable prices is desperately needed in Nashville.\nSo happy to be among the first to try it!",
"A friend and I were invited for their soft opening on Monday. \n\nHad the tamales to begin. They were delicious with a nice amount of heat and lots of chicken meat. \n\nRed beans and rice was a favorite. Rice was cooked perfectly, beans were seasoned deliciously and their house-made andouille is to die for. French fries were the best I've had in Nash. \n\nI took my husband and son back for lunch today, opening day! \n\nBao Buns were fabulous--served just like they should in bamboo steamers. \n\nWe also tried the fried oysters, Nashville style; and I loved them! \n\nFish and chips were light and served perfectly. \n\nShrimp boil was just spicy enough with all the right ingredients--andouille, corn on the cob, red potatoes, greens and Gulf shrimp cooked to perfection. \n\nThe blackened catfish poboy was gone in a flash! \n\nI even tried the \"punch of the day\" which was a very herby gin mix and was very satisfying on a warm day.\n\nWe salute the chef! I cannot say enough good things about the food and the service. This place is my new go-to! What a menu!! \n\nNext we will try brunch!! Thank you, SALTINE!! So happy to have you in Nashville!\n\nPS PARKING lot is a BONUS!",
"Lots of seafood options, many are fried though. Only one grilled fish option, catch of the day. Everything is new here, as they just opened. Large central bar, fully stocked. Wood fired oysters look awesome. Good amount of parking on the site. They were nice enough to accommodate swapping out the grits for the Brussels sprouts. Happy hour specials and lots of seating. Cruise ship theme.",
"The restaurant is around the corner from me, and have driven by the \"coming soon\" banner so often, I just HAD to go on opening night. \n\nAnyway -- the food was great. The GM introduced himself to me, and was gracious and friendly, and had excellent recommendations. I'm vegetarian, and had the veggie ramen. It was, hands down, the best ramen I've had. Usually veggie ramen is way too salty, but this one had an interesting, sweeter flavor. I loved it. I added a vegan meatball, which was totally unnecessary, as the ramen had a lot of veggies already, and the meatball got lost in the dish. There is no need to even have that as an option. The cornbread was also excellent. I got the cinnamon roll cheesecake for desert, and it was a huge misfire. It had too much going on, and was decadent for decadent's sake, and all the parts didn't add up to a satisfying whole. I'm sure people will rave about it because it is rather large and, as I said, decadent, but it just didn't work. The crust is way too thick for a cheesecake. The cheesecake itself tasted of cinnamon and nothing else -- it didn't taste like a cheesecake, that's for sure -- and then there was a big sugar-coated cinnamon roll on top of it. WHY? It was just...gross, and felt like it would be better-suited to a lower-mid level theme restaurant in a tacky tourist town, than a restaurant with higher aspirations. Further, cheesecake should be cold, and cinnamon rolls should be warm, so they just don't belong together. Other than the terrible desert, the rest of the meal was excellent. And: I was astonished at how well everything went on their first night. The restaurant ran like clockwork, which must be a testament to the management. You would never in a million years know that it was a new place, and the servers were all excellent, including Sara, who waited on me. This place is a stone's throw from me, so I'm sure I will go back.",
"Really enjoyed my first stop into Saltine and REALLY appreciated the fact that they offer lunch for us late diners until 4pm---hello, that's one of several reasons why I stopped by in the first place!!\nBeautiful looking spot, btw; I'm loving how much they transformed the place with its currently beachy blue nautical theme after the interior had served as a dark and stark brewpub for so many years.\nObviously they're brand new and just trying to get things in order, but it was a pleasant experience overall despite the odd hour and new servers. I practically had the joint to myself, which was oddly refreshing---service itself was still spotty and new(blown taps, semi-confused servers, etc), but everyone was so friendly and welcoming otherwise that it wasn't even a big deal.\n\nAs for the food, how cool is that raw bar they offer?! I'm an oyster freak, so I was beyond tickled to see so many oyster varieties there! Being the native Nashvillian I am, I had to try their \"hot chicken style\" fried oyster dozen, which was every bit as divine as expected---the oysters tasted plump and fresh and were fried to perfection, and even though the \"hot\" was laughably weak as expected, the spice itself still tasted quite nice. Served up with white bread and pickles, it was a pretty cute little local nod. Really interesting idea to offer just a DOZEN fried oysters in 3 different styles for those of us who aren't into a big basket of fried calories usually only offered at seafood joints.\nThe reason I knocked off a star though was their seafood gumbo---it was a bit runny, had no spice or zest in its roux, and the promised shrimp/clam combo was practically non-existent. So yeah, a bit disappointing compared to the beauty of their oysters, so hopefully they can kick that recipe up a few notches by the time I eventually return. \nAnd that said, I can't wait to return and experience their steady improvements. These guys definitely have the chops to be the upscale seafood joint Nashville needs far more of, so I suspect all those little growing pains will be gone the next time I eat some of those tasty underwater treats.",
"First of all... Service was awesome. They are new and everyone is still learning but everyone is also really friendly and curious about their customers' experience. Fresh seafood and alternate options on the menu including \"vegan meatballs.\" Lots of fresh fruit and interesting syrups and garnishes all over the bar. \n\nI had oysters rockefeller, shrimp and lobster spring rolls and a salad with grilled shrimp. Will try the tuna poke and maybe an entree next time...\n\nAlso... Hey Nashville! They are open late. Yay!",
"Loved everything we had!!! Shrimp cocktail, scallops, chocolate Carmel tart. Bloody Mary's were the best I have had in Nashville!!! Excellent food!!!",
"Great place to try. We've needed more seafood restaurants in Nashville and Saltine delivers. I went to brunch and was impressed with a regular selection of southern favorites along with seafood. The raw bar is to die for. The cocktails are fantastic as well. The atmosphere is adorable and fresh. Service was excellent. I will be back!",
"Five stars on night 3, you say? Yes, 5 stars. The only comment I could make that MIGHT bring it to 4.5 stars is the chairs and pool room. There is a tiled room (like a pool) that may require an interior designer to take over, it just doesn't make sense. Also, none of the chairs match? Or do they? Each area seems to have it's own chairs, but it doesn't exactly flow together.\nOkay, sorry to lead with a negative!\nWe sat and the bar and have such a great experience (Ashley?). We were attentively taken care of, she made great recommendations and was quick to get back to us on anything she wasn't 100% certain of. Also, the owners kept checking on us to make sure we were okay and it was probably 2 visits from being intrusive which is perfect!\nFood.....(don't judge the 2 of us...the prices were so reasonable we felt we could try a ton!)\nOysters Rockefeller~ we could taste every flavor on it and they were smoking hot!\nCrab Dip~just get it!\nTuna poke, shrimp cocktail and lobster rolls~fresh and crisp like they had just been pulled from the ocean yet chilled the best I've had in Nashville.\nOysters Lafitte~kind of bland\n\nWe rarely go back a second time to a restaurant within 6 months (so many to try!) but Saltine is staying at the top of our list until we try the entire menu. Next up? Scallops with bacon risotto and a cheeseburger!",
"Went there today, really enjoyed my shrimp po boy - will be back"

"Although the ingredients are very fresh, you don't get enough Sandwich to actually get full & for the price, it's a rip off.\n\nI like these guys, I do, but come on, we're hungry, give us more food!",
"When I did laundry on Campbell and Ft Lowell, had a big decision to make. Choose between La Salsa or Baggin's. Both are the same price. I don't care for the bread that much at Baggin's (too soft! ripping apart more and more with each bite I take!). I like euro style breads (as opposed to plain white american) so I am a big fan of crusty baguettes, ciabatta bread, big kaiser rolls, you know the deal. I guess I could have asked if they carried either option there- my bad. The sandwich concepts are great though. For instance: (btw this is taken from their website)\nAnasazi Chicken\nSeasoned chicken grilled with lemon * served\nwith provolone cheese and green chili on\nsourdough\n\nBaggin's Veggie\nCream cheese * mayo * Swiss cheese *\nAmerican cheese * sprouts * lettuce * tomato\n* cucumber slices * avocado * onions on\n12-grain bread\n\nSundown Baggin's\nBreast of turkey * mayo * herb stuffing *\nlettuce * cranberries on an 8\" sub roll\n\n\nWell hot damn, looks like I could have ordered my blt on a sub roll! But you get the picture. Prices are decent, I mean, shit, 5-7 bucks for sandwich is on par dead on with Seattle prices, (of course in Seattle, we actually have an -gulp- semi-economy even though this recession madness...)",
"I wanted one last little piece of Tucson before I left for a cross-country trip. I was craving an \"Unforgettable\" from Baggin's. Avocado, cream cheese, non-slimy turkey, tomato, delicious dark 12-grain bread, and the sprouts I could do without. $5.99 including a small chocolate-chip cookie.\n\nThe last time I went to this Baggin's, it was summer and there were just two employees at the time. The location was dark and it took ten minutes to get my sandwich. This time, the atmosphere is cheery, enthusiastic, bright, quick service, and almost too chain-like (I guess Baggin's is expanding all the time). Baggin's reminds me of Sacks in Phoenix.\n\nI ate half of my sandwich (you may want to scrape some of the sprouts off if you want to taste everything). There was no avocado on it, so it did taste different. I guess the \"Unforgettable\" taste is everything combined. Thankfully, on the other half, there was avocado/cream cheese/grain bread goodness. \n\nThere are two types of iced tea - sun tea and cinnamon spice tea. Cinnamon spice tea is not just sweet cinnamon or chai - it tastes like something you would prefer warm, so you may not like it. The sun tea is just like a regular iced tea without the strong black tea taste.\n\nI think going to this Baggin's will be more enjoyable once construction is finished, as I wouldn't drive more than a mile to get here...",
"Baggins has been a staple of mine for years.\nOne of the best sandwich locations in Tucson.\nI usually go for the Baggins Cheesesteak. Instead I went for the veggie. I went for the half sandwich/side meal deal. I love the chicken bow tie as a side. However, they were out as it is a very popular choice. The pasta salad is a nice side as well. There was a slight mistake, to my benefit as she made a full sandwich. It was very very very yummy!\nThe cookies are super as well.\nLove, love love Baggins!",
"Best Baggins store in Tucson! Phenomenal service and food!",
"Great sandwiches....but why do you have to be so expensive? I'm a broke college student!!!",
"do yourself a favor and put them on speed dial. \n\nfast, fresh and friendly everytime! we get baggins almost weekly via lunch delivery to work and i've never known them to get the order wrong. michael generally takes the orders over the phone and the guy is always in good spirits. i've had quite a few different menu items over the years and they've all been tasty and a good value, plus every order comes with a homemade chocolate chip cookie. the veggie sandwich on 12-grain bread and the chicken caesar salad are my favorites, and their rum cake is truly memorable. \n\noh, their catered baskets are amazing too!",
"Have had lunch delivered from here a few times in the past weeks and though they're menu on Campbell is quite limited everyone in my office has a favorite- mine is their chicken salad, specifically the Rojo Chicken Sandwich, yum, yum, yum! The cookie is a nice touch at the end too.\n\nMy only complaint is that delivery is only 11-2 I believe, and even if we order right before 11am there's at least a 45 minute delivery wait, sometimes more and they're never early and we're only two blocks down from them on Campbell. I attempted to go in person and it was jam packed (good for them, tough for being in a hurry) and took almost the full 45 min to get the sandwiches back to the office anyway! Could probably do with a little more staff or maybe a dedicated phone person?",
"So I walk in...and there were two other customers sitting down eating and I waited for a good 7 minutes before a cashier assisted me - I went around the back to find them talking and gossiping - meanwhile I'm starving, lol! Once they assisted me, my order was taken...and I think by my demeanor the cashier new I wasn't too happy with the service... the best thing about the experience was she gave me a complementary sandwich.",
"I love baggins! Such a perfect lunch place! They are always friendly and super speedy for custom sandwiches. I love the hop chicken and the unforgettable baggins. I also love that each sandwich is served with a delicious cookie for dessert. The only reason this location isn't getting 5 stars is that they don't do the delicious hot panini that I am addicted to."

"Yes... Yes... Round Table is just another chain pizza place, but I believe when you find a chain that's doing more then just slopping food in a box, or a bag, or throwing it through a drive thru window its worth Yelping about, and that's why I'm yelping about this location! \n\nI went here once and it was crap - they had no pizza on the buffet line, the salad bar was bare - customer service was terrible.. but they have changed! I've been back many times since then and its been consistently GREAT. The staff working there are all very friendly they greet you when you come in and leave and check on you at the table even though its a self serve buffet.\n\nAs everyone knows they have a daily lunch pizza buffet for around $6.00 which includes the salad bar. We've been going to the Tuesday night buffet (5pm - 8pm) $19.00 for 2 people with drinks. \n\nThey have at least 5 pizza's out at all times, hot and fresh, twisty bread, cinnamon pizza, everything is fresh and good. \n\nThis is a very kid friendly place, but not a lot of screaming kids running around - which I'm thankful for! They even let ME have a balloon and a sucker if I'm nice :-) \n\nNow they just have to get rid of the TV commercial with the \"Pizza Whisperer\" guy who talks to the pizza because he REALLY creeps me out!",
"For several months Pootchie and I were going to Round Table every Tuesday night for their buffet just because its close to our house, cheap, quick, and actually really yummy pizza and salad.\n\nThe really sweet girl who works there got to know us, and was always nice. Actually everyone working there is nice, but she was always like \"HEY GUYS\" like she was waiting on us to show up!\n\nWell we stopped going - for no particular reason, just got bored with it.... this past weekend we went back and I REALLY thought the girl was going to jump over the counter and hug us! \nAs she was ringing up our order she asked us if the reason we hadnt been in for so long was something they had done..... \nI told her no, we just hadnt been in...... She was SOOOOOOO sweet and only charged us for one person! So we got 2 pizza buffets, 2 salad bars, and 2 drinks for ONLY $9.99. \n\nI KNOW its a pizza chain..... but seriously that was really sweet of her and let me know she really appreciates our loyalty, so I'm going to try to go at least once a month so she wont miss us again!! :-)",
"If i could leave them a 0 i would. Horrible customer service. I called and ordered a pizza from a male worker, who repeated my address and order twice for confirmation... awesome! I just wanted a simple delivery and was told my pizza would arrive in 30-40minutes...no problem right... wrong. 40minutes passed...no pizza. 50minutes...no pizza. 1hr still no pizza so i decide to call and check to see what has happened. A lady answered and I told her my concern.. she searched in the computer and told me she would call the drivers she took my order AGAIN and repeated it to me. She told me she would call me back ... Well 10minutes later I still had no phone call as to where my pizza was or if it was even comming. I give it another 10 minutes and call back and a guy rudely answers the phone... sounded like the first guy i spoke with that took my order down and was just basically a total jerk in saying \"I called 15minutes ago and the driver should be there shortly\" ... yes he SHOULDve been there 1.5hrs ago but that didnt happen. Shortly a knock at the door is here but it was the WRONG PIZZA after all of that!! The wrong pizza. Horrible service from this place. I love roundtable but this one is horribly ran. The workers dont seemed properly trained and the people on the phone seem uncaring. I wont ever order from them when im on Vacation in Reno... I just wanted a pizza. sheesh.",
"I wish I had seen the earlier review before I placed an online order - the pizza came 90 minutes after I ordered it and was lukewarm.",
"I came here the other day to eat the pizza buffet with my lady and it wasn't what I expected! It was super cold and the pizza tasted like it was sitting there for a minute! At least the manager put fresh ones out or else this review would have only got one star! I also don't recommend that anyone order pizza from here during 11-2pm! We saw the delivery boy pick up some bread sticks that have been sitting in the A/C for awhile and put them in a box to deliver! I thought things were made FRESH? I was dead wrong!!!!! lol",
"OMG, seriously.....??? This place sucked, what a shame to be of this quality and put a stamp behind it with this company name. We ordered to go garlic bread and the veggie pizza. Both items were very, very dry and burned. So nasty! Don't waste your money here. Go to Little Ceasars instead, seriously. 2nd place in Reno, we'd give Round Table Pizza a try but no more....",
"I ordered online with tremendous trepidation. I don't like ordering food for delivery because you have no recourse when it comes to getting the order right. It either is or isn't, and it can't be corrected in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, I was in the middle of a painting project and in no condition to leave the house. \n\nSo I ordered a pizza online at 5:50pm. I got the garlic chicken pizza (which I've had before and it was delicious) as well as an order of 6 of their cinnamon twists. I should have known there was going to be a problem when I couldn't get their website to take either coupon I had (one for $3 off my pizza, the other for a free dessert). My order was $28. $28 for a large pizza and some cinnamon sticks. Talk about overpriced. \n\nI got a phone call 10 minutes after I ordered. They couldn't find my house in their system. My house is 6 years old and in the middle of the city, so it's not exactly new or suburban. I gave the guy on the phone some directions, and he muttered something about their system needing updating, and that the driver would call me if they needed more detailed directions. He also mentioned that even though I was quoted a 40 minute delivery window on the website, it would be closer to an hour. I ordered a pizza on a Friday, so I knew that it would probably take longer than usual.\n\n7pm rolls around, and by this point, I'm getting hungry. I keep looking out my windows, thinking that maybe the driver is lost and trying to find the house. Nothing...\n\nAt 7:30, I finally get a knock at the front door, I open it, and the delivery girl is too busy texting to even acknowledge my presence. She hands me a receipt and says, \"sign this\" while continuing her text conversation. \n\nI give the receipt back to her, and get my order. Before I have a chance to even check it, she's gone. \n\nI take the order to the kitchen and open it up. The pizza looks delicious! I was impressed by round table in the past, so I knew to expect good quality. \n\nI open up the dessert box, and it's not dessert. It's some kind of garlic bread, without any kind of sauce to dip it in. No marinara, or ranch, or even garlic butter. \n\nthen I notice that everything is cold, stale, and hard. The heat that I felt on the boxes must have been from someone else's (correct) order. \n\nThe only reason this is 2 stars instead of one is because of the flavor of the pizza. The service aspect of this meal was awful. I should have came to yelp before I even ordered from this particular location. The only positive review is from someone that ate in the restaurant. Never again, Round Table!",
"I was out of town, on business and staying in a hotel. I'm starving, so I order a Pizza. \n\n1. It took an hour and ten minutes before the delivery guy got the pizza to my hotel. \n\n2. When I got the pizza to my room, the pizza was cold. \n\n3. The pizza sucked. The sauce was gross. The crust taste funny. \n\nDO NOT Order from this place. The only reason I gave this place one star, is because the app made me put something.",
"Round Table is probably my favorite go-to pizza place. Locations vary a little. Medium prices as far as pizza goes. The Garlic chicken is my fav, white sauce, its delicious.",
"This establishment in particular deserves a 0. I don't know why it's so hard for them to get orders right, but it seems like there's ALWAYS a problem when getting food from them. It doesn't matter if it's dine in or delivery.\n\nThe last time I had a delivery from them, they told me they had a meal deal going on where for $5 more you could add breadsticks, a 2 liter, and 2 extra dipping cups. So of course I went with the meal deal since I was going to get the breadsticks anyway. Well, come to find out, they charged me the full price for all the items without giving me the discount.\n\nNow, I will say that they did refund my money. But they refunded it cash because they didn't want to deal with refunding it to the card. My guess is the store manager refunded it out of pocket because she didn't want her district manager to know about the refund.\n\nIf that wasn't enough, my order was missing two dipping sauces, which I never got, and my 2 liter was wrong. Apart from that my pizza had bellpeppers on it that I had asked them to take off. AND it was stone cold by the time it got to my door!\n\nIt's not just delivery that has a problem. Eating in they typically get orders wrong or it takes a long time to get food out to the customers. The last time I ate in was during their lunch buffet, and for whatever reason they decided (after the meal) to give the customers behind us a full refund on their buffet. This was outrageous seeing as how we had to wait as long as they did for the food, and we weren't offered anything.\n\nThe store manager is doing a terrible job of running this place. Round Table Pizza has such good pizza that it should just be a matter of customer service, but somehow this lady misses the mark completely.\n\nAvoid this Round Table."

"Fantastic burger joint, even better fry's and dipping sauces!",
"My boyfriend and I went last night and it was awesome! Neither of us had been to Boise Fry Company before and weren't sure what to expect, except for fries of course :) The atmosphere was perfect, the burgers were as good as the fries, and the guys working were really nice. Click here for a more in-depth review and pics: http://www.fromatozoe.com/2012/02/our-new-favorite-place.html\n\nCan't wait to go back, I highly recommend!",
"Great execution on a very original, unique concept.\n\nThe Bison burger is the best burger of any kind in Boise. \n\nNot quite sure exactly what they do to their onions, but they're tender, flavorful and the best onions I've ever had on any burger.\n\nThe wide variety of potatoes and styles of fries and dipping sauces are the most unique part of the menu and definitely worth making a visit for.\n\nStaff is always very friendly.",
"Staff is not friendly, they seemed not to care there was a customer. The cashier did not tell me about the happy hour special and that would of saved me money. I took my food to go and after a 2 min drive home the food was cold and soggy . New to Boise so I'm not sure what all the hype is about this place, maybe that's why they could care less about the customers is because they already have a big name in town. Don't waist your time!",
"Out for a bike ride on the Greenbelt and thought we would stop by to try Boise Fry Company. Restaurant has only been opened in this location for about 4 months. Menu is very limited... burgers and fries only. Beef burgers were moist and juicy but I didn't care for the special sauce (relish of some sort) and the pickles were more of a bread & butter pickle then the traditional dill pickles. There were a variety of sauces and salts available. Tried several, but I guess I'm too much of a traditionalist to appreciate this restaurant. I'll stick with a mushroom swiss burger!",
"I love the fries and burgers only menu! I have tried every potato in almost every cut and they are all great! My son goes nuts for the PoBalls! Yam fries with jalapeno powder is my favorite but purple potato with rosemary garlic are a close second. Also tried their quinoa side salad for the the first time yesterday and it is also great. They make their own sodas which rotate and are really good ( I highly recommend their root beer). I love that they always have great local beer and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Bison and vegan burgers are yummy. Onion relish stuff is great but if you don't like onions get it classic style and you get their house made pickles.",
"First time visit on April 29th. Disappointed in the quality of the fries. Soggy and underdone, extremely greasy. Not at all what I expected for the price and previous reviews and write ups. For basically only 2 items on the menu - burgers and fries - things that are not that hard to make, we were not happy with any of our orders. Our party of 4 decided to head down to Westside on Parkcenter for a crispier, cheaper, BETTER fry purchase. There is a good chance I will NOT be back to Boise Fry Company thanks to our disappointing experience on Sunday evening.",
"In our quest for the perfect burger we decided to check out a local place in a new mall location right off of the Greenbelt.\n\nThis place has beef, bison, and veggie burgers. And the choices of fries is amazing approximately 7 different types of potatoes (I mean it is Idaho after all) and different ways they could be prepared.\n\nThey have several fry/burger sauces and at least 5 of them that are vegan. I tried the beef patty and the YS had the bison. \n\nWe ordered the small fries for each of us he got the golden curly fries and I picked out the purple thin cut fries. Soda, beer or wine to drink. \n\nI almost had the Underwood cellars pinot noir from Oregon which is an inexpensive pinot from Oregon but very good but elected for the soft drink instead. Pepsi products served here.\n\nThey do not salt the fries they leave that up to you and they have many salt choices as well. We picked out sea salt for one and rosemary infused for the other fry batch.\n\nThe small order of fries was plenty. A bigger order for two or more would be plenty.\n\nService was quick and I enjoyed the decor some of the lamps were made out of repurposed bicycle parts and the tables and counter bar were made out of some rustic wood and highly varnished. Very pretty.\n\nThis is a newer location and another one can be found off of Broadway. I would definitely come back to this fine and local establishment.\n\nThere was a sign on the door that said check in with Foursquare and I could hear the YS mutter under his breath, \"Foursquare, Yelps ugly cousin.\" HeeHee...",
"Wow what a disappointment! Went to the Bown Crossing location. Atmosphere was pure fast food. Barren no character really. Most popular feature was the video game some teens were playing. Fries were HUGE disappointment! Came in a stainless steel bowl which came I'm handy to hold the extra grease. Fries were soggy under cooked and generaly pretty gross. Sauces were a nice touch but even they could not overcome the soggy grease laden mass. Beef cheeseburger was ok but totally non descript and nothing special. Vegan burger was horrid flat and tasteless. Cardboard consistency. Wife only at a few bites. Bown Crossing is a great place to visit. Just stick with the brew pubs and restsurants. Sorry but this was not a good experience. Go to 5 Guys or Burger Express. Oh yea 2 sandwiches and 2 small fries was $19.67. Save your money!",
"Boise Fry Co. is NOTHING special just novelty, with a side of totally over-rated. The assortment of sauces is not the reason to go here, because a good fry should not need sauce. . .it's a french fry!! Starch goodness!! It just sucked. Basically it's wannabe cool. I have no idea why this place was on the food network, and why people go there. It was kinda on the over cooked side, and just NO. NO NO NO. The place is sad and full of blah, because it tries too hard to be \"cool\"~totally letting you down. \n\nIt's just a wannabe special/cool place and it's disappointing.\n\nIf you're a sugar junkie then you'll like the burger, but if you don't shower in processed sugar ask for everything on the side. It's where C&H went to die by the taste of what they put in their burgers i.e. that nasty relish. I want savory not sugary people! IDK just save your money b/c it's priced WAY WAY WAY too high for what it is.\n\nSkip this place b/c you've made a better burger at home and it's a really sad day when you have to admit that jack n the box fries are better . . . and those things suck!\n\nIf this place didn't have a blurb on a network show when they were in town, then it would be out of business, it that means anything to anyone. I suspect this place will be on a down slope very soon by the other reviews~once the novelty is over and people notice the awful food ~ they'll be closed down."

"The Good: Spicy Tuna Roll; seaweed salad; the service\n\nThe Bad: A bit pricy; $65 for two sodas, three rolls, a couple of salads, and tip.\n\nThe Rest: The best part is the rolls were fresh snd good. Sat at the bar and service from David was perfect. The chef (The Conquerer) rolls a mean and good sushi! Only been opened one week as of today.",
"Seriously some of the best sushi I've ever had!! Tish and David were friendly and helpful!! It was surprising and delightful!! I'd come to the airport JUST to eat here!!",
"Hooray for a Great quick meal at BNA. Our server Tish provided over the top good service. Don't eat before you arrive for your flight. Save it for Hissho.",
"Had the salmon and avocado roll and some miso soup ( and a goose island IPA) . The fish was tasty and fresh and the portion was ample.",
"The $12 portion of tuna with seaweed I had could have fit in a thimble! Seriously the thing weighed probably an oz at most. Tuna was fresh though. But the price is just so ridiculous",
"Worse place ever...\nSat for 20 minutes and servers never acknowledged me...\nThey kept going from the bar station to a single table and back to the bar station... They were unable to attend more than one table...\nI had to go to the bar station where server was just waiting on order to place my order...\nAvoid!!!!",
"airport sushi - not expecting much and that's what I got.",
"I've never had an issue with the quality. Everything I've ever gotten has been fresh and appetizing. \nFor those who are expecting a lot for the price, don't. You're eating at the airport. Everything has a huge mark up on it. However, it is better than the greasy alternatives.",
"Sushi in the airport!\n\nNormally I would steer clear of sushi in an airport but this place looked very clean cool and yummy. I was served immediately with a smile. The sake nigiri had big pieces and was super fresh.",
"Is this the best sushi in the world? No. Is it good sushi and good quality for what you can expect in an airport where they have limited delivery hours, issues with knives and an \"I need it now\" mentality for the customers? Then yes.\n\nEat in or take it to go, they will make it to order and they also have a dozen or so different varieties already packaged to go, complete with ginger and soy. Just remember to grab your chop sticks.\n\nI got a salmon packet which was quite good, considering. It tasted fresh, the rice was good quality and it had all I needed to enjoy it on the plane."

"I only come here bc my daughter likes it. Nothing for Vegans and not healthy at all. They are always packed and not that friendly.",
"Often times during the lunch hour they have run out of several items and you have to wait. For the most part the staff is nice however don't ask any questions about the food, they don't seem to know. I am glad that they are starting to have healthier choices available. The brown rice is pretty good and so is they teriyaki chicken breast.",
"Just ate there yesterday. It was lunch hour. There weren't many fresh items. Everything looked like it had been sitting for some time.\nIf they aren't busy, they should cook less food, and refresh more often.\nI ordered Kung Pow Chicken, but it was gross. There was a thin (think black staple) piece of metal or very hard plastic in the food. It nearly broke my tooth. It was about and inch and a half long. My guess is a bread tie, maybe. Just hoping it wasn't anything else. If it weren't so hard, I would say it looked like a roach leg.\nThe chow mien was very cold, and many black bits of overcooked noodles were mixed in.\nI have loved Panda Express for quite some time, but this was a poor example.",
"We went in there today around 830pm for dinner. The young lady that assisted us started off good. What really got to me was that she didn't offer us any samples but did to the family that proceeded after us. I really don't do reviews especially negative ones but this really stood out. We didn't get any sauces offered either. They were soon to close so they were hurrying my husband with his decision of entree",
"Panda is panda, fast chain Chinese food. I do like that they are experimenting with their menu and offering newer, tastier, healthier dish options. Unfortunately, you'll have to pay up-charges for one of the newer fancier dishes. But when I'm in a bind and need food fast, I know I can run in and get a fast delicious lunch for under $10. I've been to a few of the Pandas in town and the one on Plumb is always busy. The branch at UNR is super packed or wide open depending on the time of day. Lately, I've been swinging by the Panda on Los Altos on my way between work sites from Spanish Springs to \"in town\" and I'm really happy with their staff, cleanliness, and there's NEVER a wait. I always walk right up and get my order in right away. So, although it is chain food, I think anyone walking in knows that. But to get the job done, it's quick and cheap. I am happy about new menu choices, that's probably what keeps me coming back.",
"I love how friendly they are every time I come in. I love their cream cheese Rangoon's and their mushroom chicken!",
"Great service. I love to get the dried rice, orange chicken, and the grilled chicken. For the most part their food is really good. Sometimes the chicken can be a little over cooked. But very good nonetheless.",
"I adore this location the staff is always super friendly even when it is crazy busy and the food is always awesome! I have never had a bad experience at this location, I definitely recommend this location as opposed to others where it seems like your bothering the employees with your order.",
"This is my first visit. I ONLY came in because I felt like CABBAGE! Their mixed veggies usually have a lot but here there was only a couple pieces. I asked if they could make me some with LOTS OF CABBAGE and was told yes. I waited while she checked people out and THREE TIMES asked her to tell the cook EXTRA CABBAGE! Finally she said it always has lots of cabbage! \n\nWhen I opened my large mixed vegetables ... NO CABBAGE...actually 3 small pieces in the bottom!\n\nBut before I ate anything I took it over to woman who promised me LOTS and she gave me a blank stare. \n\nThe other girl looked casually over to the prep area and said \"we're out of cabbage\"!\n\nReally? There is a fridge FULL of fresh veggies. Nobody looked there. I think they are not out. \n\nI think they have not been properly trained with regards to customer satisfaction! \n\nBoth the girls looked more scared than unhelpful. It was as if they were afraid to ask the cook for cabbage! \n\nI hope management will straighten them out because I love their cabbage in mixed veggies! Everything is fresh and not over cooked! \n\nBut when you ASK ahead several times and they ignore you and DON'T OFFER TO MAKE AN ADJUSTMENT or ANYTHING THEN that is terrible service!\n\nThis was around 2:30 pm so it wasn't lunch rush time and yet the trash was overflowing! \n\nI am going back just so I can update this. Hopefully they will have trained their counter people by then!",
"Food was fast & hot, establishment was very clean, staff was very happy and acknowledged every guest that walked in. This place is always packed."

"There are bowls and burritos. They have chicken, pork, shredded beef, steak. The avo -cream is fabulous. Everything is fresh.",
"Great place for Mexican food but it needs to have up beat Mexican music instead of the Dove radio station. That way it'll go with the decor. Good prices with fresh high quality meats. Just open up so I hope that it doesn't change. The drive thur wasn't open yet. Very clean with a lot of staff making sure very thing with your meal was perfect.",
"I have been here twice now, both times food was excellent. The first time I had a bowl, the second time I had tacos (3). You get plenty of food, Everything is fresh, the tomatoes are ripe, and red. I hope that eventually they extend their menu a little bit, to include a taco salad, and to sell tacos singly.",
"Could be a lot better. When Moe's opens up, they will most likely lose me as a customer. Bland food. Doesn't give you the amount of food that Moe's and chipotles does. More expensive for the amount of food. Employees are slow and not very friendly. Had to add salt, pepper, and cholula to my burrito bowl to make it taste good. Sorry wraps, you could do a lot better. Try going to Moe's or chipotle and then look at your own business.",
"How do you serve Mexican food with no flavor? Nothing had any flavor, very disappointed",
"I ordered a burrito and there were some big problems with it. The veggies were way too crunchy/undercooked. I have no idea why they leave their beans sitting in liquid all day - even though the make line girl tried to drain them, the leftover liquid on them plus the liquid from the salsa (which was also too watery for this medium - you can't make a watery salsa and expect it to hold up in a burrito) made the burrito a big soggy mess. The rice and beans were bland, the whole thing was bland really. Another thing I noticed was an employee put some new chicken right on top of the old bits of chicken on the make line... They need to switch out the containers for fresh each time they have a new batch of chicken or anything else!! Who knows how many times they'd done that today, who knows how old the bits of chicken in the bottom of the bin were. Big disappointment! Never going back again.",
"The several times I have been to Wraps, have all been great. I have had a couple different burritos and a rice bowl. They give you a large serving with whatever you order. The employees are always prompt and friendly. \n\nThe rice bowls are a great option for lunch. Just enough to get you to dinner without feeling like you have a small food baby. \nThe burritos are giant. I mean, you will need a wheel barrow out of there. You get your bang for your buck. \n\nThe guacamole. Ohhhh it is so good. Must get that on something or with chips. It's bangin. The queso is also a great option. It's on the spicy side and I love it. \n\nNot being a chain is a big deal to me. Supporting local business is the way to go. I see some bad reviews but let's all keep in mind this is a new place and they will only get better with time. I've met the owners and they have put their heart and soul into this. No, it's not Moes, which makes it better in my opinion. \n\nGive it a try!",
"What an awesome surprise!! I had a spicy ground beef burrito. It was huge!! And absolutely delicious too. The staff here is very friendly, and enthusiastic. Overall great place to go!! :)",
"Today was the first time I've been here. Was VERY good. Much better than Moes. I had the Pork Carnitas bowl, and everything was so fresh and tasted very good with a very reasonable price. Will definitely try this lovely place again. :)",
"The people here who are saying the food is bland/no flavor is a joke. This place is SO GOOD!!! They are right up there with Chipotle in my opinion. I have been there 3 times and every time I have been so satisfied. They have this awesome queso cheese, and some avocado sauce that is out of this world delicious. This is a family owned business and I would LOVE to see them thrive and keep the food chains out. We don't need them, when we have good talent locally. I will definitely be back and in fact, my mouth is watering just thinking about how yummy they are. You won't be disappointed. The people who mentioned no flavor don't know what's good. And no, I am not affiliated with this business in any way. I just support my local businesses and I hope they go far."
