"This was the first time I ate Korean food, so all I can say was that it is the best Korean food I have ever had in my entire life. : D It was really good, though, go. Someone else got fried squid. It was ridiculously good. I'll get that next time.",
"Very americanized which is a bad look. But when LA is 8 hours away, this does the trick I figure.",
"Korea House has been around since 1984, so it has been either pretty good or perhaps had very little competition. I think it is the latter, as the tastes are so-so! Tucson can't compare to SoCal, the Bay Area, or the Pugent Sound for Korean food. This passes by with enough Korean influences to compensate for the sparse Korean restaurant choices in Tucson.\n\nIt is a prety large place, with private rooms on the left and on the right are the lowered Korean or Family type tables like in a Japanese Tatami room, except it is hardwood floors. \n\nKBBQ popular favorites like Bool Gogi (I am using their spelling) and Kalbi are available, for $13.95 and $18.00 respectively for beef. They only offer 5 side-dishes, less than most West Coast restaurants. They also have another 20 common rice, soup, and noodle dishes, like Bibeem Bob ($8.95 or $11.50in hot stone bowl), Naeng Myon (cold buckwheat noodles $9.25, ) and Tofu Soup ($9.95). They offer 6 vegetarians dishes, too. \n\nTheir lunch specials are all between $6.25 - $9.75 and are served with Rice and Kimchee.",
"For Tucson, they served really tasty Bulgogi. In the 3 months that I lived there, I ate here 6 times. Of course, it doesn't compare to Korean food in LA's K-town but being out in the desert, I was impressed. Even the bf's picky palate liked it.",
"OK. Middling. The last time I was here was with a friend of the owner's and it still wasn't that great. I think that Takematsu a few blocks farther east is much better (that is Takematsu's Korean part, not their other parts...they have 3 restaurants in one).",
"This is really a 3 star place but I added one due to it's location where Mexican food run's the city.\n\nIt's good, and for Tucson it's impressive that when we walked in, all Korean staff and clean interior. \n\nThe Bulgogi is good and I recommend the beef extra spicy. Wash it down it either a cold Hite or OB.\n\n Also a plus is that they've been around 23 years, so you know they're doing SOMETHING right at least.",
"Korea House claims to be the \"best and oldest Korean restaurant in Arizona.\" In the whole state of Arizona? That's quite the claim. I guess I'd say the same if I owned a restaurant too.\n\nI live in LA now, so I have very specific images of what Korean establishments usually look like. Walking into Korea House is kind of like walking into a Chinese restaurant. Not that it's bad or anything, just unexpected and kind of weird.\n\nMy party of 4 was seated in a private \"room\", which is definitely very Korean. The food was good, but doesn't stand out as a place that you MUST go to. This may be because I am not the biggest fan of Korean food. I am never really impressed by it, but that's just me. \n\nI had the fried squid, which was satisfying (but not very spicy, considering I ordered it \"hot\"), and their pickled dishes were pretty good. The service was probably the best part of the experience. The young guy was attentive, chatted it up with us, was knowledgeable about all the dishes on the menu, and even gave us some of the yummy bibimbap sauce to take home and complimentary green tea ice cream. yum.",
"I've been going to Korea House since 2001 when I first moved here. Since I am actually of Korean heritage, have eaten Korean in SF, LA, NYC, NJ and Korea( my mom's the best over any of them though), I think I'm pretty qualified to review Korean food.\n\nFirst of all there have only been about 3 Korean restaurants in Tucson at any one time that I can think of--currently only 2 I believe. Korea House has friendly staff and a clean if very dated interior. The food is definitely not authentic, but does retain Korean flavors--similar to PF Chang's Americanized Chinese food and most American Chinese food in general.( I've also frequented Chinatowns in SF, LA, NYC).\n\nThere's nothing bad about the food. It's pretty tasty and all of my non-Korean friends have enjoyed it. It would probably be 4 stars if I weren't Korean. I'm married with kids so I haven't been back there in a few years but I'd probably take my kids when they got old enough to behave well in a restaurant.",
"When I was growing up in southern Maine, I had a very good friend who was a first generation American (his parents and grandparents, with whom he lived, were Korean immigrants). Now, at that time, being any kind of nonwhite immigrant living in Maine was not exactly the best gig (my high school had something like 4 people of color) and this guy was not especially thrilled about being \"The Korean\" in Crackerville. I remember going to his house for the first time and seeing that his kitchen had two fridges. \"What gives?\" I asked. He strode over to the fridge on the left, threw open the door proudly, and unveiled a world of Velveeta, hamburger meat, and Coca-cola. \"That's the good fridge,\" he responded. Then, he shut that fridge and raised a grizzled claw toward the other. (It should be noted that, at this point, he was acting as though the other refrigerator contained human remains.) \"And that,\" he shuddered, \"is the . . . Korean . . . fridge.\" \n\nDespite his reticence, I got him to explain further, and that was the glorious day I learned about kimchi, bulgogi, and hangwa. As my friend explained it, \"real\" Korean food was so pungent, so powerful, so earth-shatteringly fragrant, that it simply couldn't be allowed to mingle with the delicate likes of Velveeta, since its flavors will overload those of its American brethren. From then on, I knew that Korean food and I would get along quite well.\n\nNow, getting to the actual review. Let me say this about Korea house: the food is just fine, but the proprietor likely doesn't need a separate fridge for it. My biggest gripe is that the flavors don't pop and, instead, feel a bit Americanized and \"greasified,\" if I could coin a term. As seems to be the case with so many world cuisine restaurants in Tucson, getting a meal that goes above the level of \"white person spicy\" presents a challenge. \n\nAs previous reviewers have said, the flavors here are more than serviceable, but the food feels like a semi-watered-down, P.F. Chang's type of cuisine at times. The kimchi, for example, just doesn't have that fantastically aromatic \"five day old gym socks left to mold on the floor of the locker room\" smell that I adore. Also, the bulgogi, which is fresh, and well-prepared, fairly cries out to be drowned in Sriracha. I am always satiated by the food, but left wanting a bit in the \"kick\" department.\n\nKorea House has much to commend itself, though:\n\n1. I love the semiprivate room experience. It is wonderful for anything from an intimate evening to a business lunch (even if the rest of the restaurant's decor is nothing to write home about). \n2. The staff is unfailingly friendly. Every time I have brought along dining companions who were not familiar with Korean cuisine, the waitresses have been incredibly patient, kind, and eager to explain the menu.\n3. There is a robust, ever-rotating menu of specials. In my opinion, this is where the tastiest, most potentially \"authentic\" opportunities are. Often, the specials are difficult to prepare delicacies or seasonal specialties. I think it's a good sign that they are often announced by inconspicuous, hand-drawn signs on the wall that sometimes only contain Korean writing. \n4. Portion sizes are ample, and there is plenty of fresh produce used in the dishes. More Americanized Asian food tends to be heavy on the meat and scant on the veggies; not so here. There's lots of green in this food!\n5. It's pretty much the only game in town, so the fact that the food is tasty and reasonably priced goes a long way.\n\nAt the end of the day, when I get a hankering for fermented Asian cuisine, I generally go back to Korea House. They may not need a Korean fridge to segregate their food, but what they serve is good, just the same.",
"I love Korean food and was spoiled living in NYC. From K-town to Flushing, I ate Korean cuisine like it was crack.\n\nHere in Tucson, however, I'm finding it harder to get good Korean food. First, my sense of smell definitely puts me off of a restaurant pretty quickly -- I've walked out of countless places here because of smell and the reviews I've read about the fish/rancid grease stench at Takematsu do NOT endear me to the idea of the place. Second, and I know this is simply an aspect of Korean food, I'm in Tucson for medical reasons and the salt level in Korea House's food is a bit much for me to handle.\n\nHowever, their food is delicious. I've had their Jap Chae, Kimchi Chigae, fried Mandoo and Yook Gae Jang, all of which were wholly satisfying. Their Pa Jun was on the thick and doughy side -- more like fry bread -- but still had great flavor.\n\nAll in all, if it weren't for the salt thing, I'd be there far more often. For now, I'm figuring out how to cook this stuff myself (thank goodness for Grantstone and the Korean market on Pima!)"

"Let's keep this short.\nWhat a shame to have such a beautiful property, which is so nicely maintained have bland stale desserts! And yes. I am judging all desserts because this place HAD a reputation for fresh baked goods. The group of people I was with ordered almost every dessert that they had and we only gave a passing grade to the hot tea.\nI hope it gets sorted. Or it will mean loss of customers.",
"A vegan won't find a lot of options here...which is unfortunate. So I opted for the salad bar...which was a big mistake. The salad was bland, almost all iceburg lettuce, the dressings were WATERY, everything looked stale...basically a salad bar nightmare. It was pretty insulting. The place is supposedly known for its pancakes or waffles or something. Others in my party did get them, and they did seem satisfied, but given the other reviews on Yelp, and my one and last experience with the Club House DIner, I don't plan on returning and I see no need for you, reader, to ever go here either.",
"It's a diner, but a very nice one. The salad bar is fresh and varied. The entrees if a bit overpriced, are very good. I took my wife here on our first date to give you some idea of how I regarded this place in the past. I haven't been there in a while, but I imagine, like a lot of the rest of Bensalem, it has not changed (very) much. I have a special place in my heart, but I'm not overtly biased. If you like Diner food, you won't likely be disappointed.",
"Food is OK, its not great. Menu is HUGE. Portions are pretty big. Salad bar is pretty good, but nothing on the salad bar is labeled so you have no clue what anything is (and they have a lot of interesting things on that salad bar) Also salad bar is VERY VERY messy and they don't clean it up. Service is absolutely HORRIBLE!!! The only reason we go is because 2 or 3 times a month they have 50% off your entire check. I mean you can't beat dinner for $10.00 or less.",
"Their menu is huge, so there is no doubt you will find something you like. However, the service leaves A LOT to be desired. A LOT. They take 20 minutes to even bring your drink out, and will bring apps with your meal. Terrible service and rude wait staff, however, on 50% off night, I'll gladly deal with a bitchy waitress and a 20 minutes to serve diet coke. Can't beat a meal for two for ~$15.\nThey're owned by the same company as Great American Diner Pub.",
"I've driven pass here so many times and just thought it was a strip club because it was lit up like a x-mas tree and all I noticed was \"Club House\" on the sign. Then one day, I figured out it was a diner so we stopped to try it out. The salad bar is pretty good. Lots of different types of food on the menu. The menu is pretty huge. There are always specials. An entire sheet of specials which is pretty cool. They also have table top video games at most of the tables. Before anyone asks. Yes, of course you have to pay to play. No money, no honey. ;-P The portions of food are pretty big and the food is OK, nothing to knock your shoes off or anything but it is not bad for a diner. I think also that you should ask the waitress for her advice since the menu is so huge. They have a lot of desserts. Some of the special will include dessert but the weird thing is.... If it is an item that is on special that comes with the dessert, you are not permitted to take it with you, even if you are full and want to take it home. So I guess they throw it away when you leave. Such a waste of food. Parking has never been a problem and it is open 24 hours I think? Oh yes, and one more thing that is kind of important to note. The salad bar is not 24hrs. They start shutting it down around 11pm so if your there for a late night graze, just remember, there will not be any lettuce on the field. Moooo",
"If this place really is 2.5 stars, well, I'll eat there again.\n\nLook, I'm a sales trainer from Charlotte, NC. I come here every now and then on business. When I'm in town, I have to hit up the Club House Diner for dinner. It's close to work and the hotel, and I like the variety. \n\nI've eaten here maybe ten times over the past few years, and maybe I'm lucky, but I've never been disappointed. The menu is huge... as in large, and as in replete with many, many selections. I usually do some sort of dinner that includes the salad bar. \n\nThis past Tuesday, I stopped in around 7:00 PM. The place was not crowded, although I noticed the Wednesday half off special, so that's probably the night when it's most jammed. \n\nThe waitress was reasonably quick to stop by and get my drink order. She came by soon so I could order, but I was on the phone. Not to worry, she returned a couple minutes later, and I ordered their $16.00 5-course dinner special (I was hungry after yakking all day!). \n\nI had chicken noodle soup (home made, with large chunks of chicken and al dente noodles... tasty. \n\nI had buffalo wings (plate of 3, nice and spicy, with a cool blue cheese dressing... classic). \n\nI had a trip to the salad bar, where I got as much of the Greek and Mediterranean stuff as I could recognize. Yum! I can't spell or pronounce any of it, but who cares? My taste buds were happy. \n\nThen they brought out this wonderful plate of broiled flounder with a delicious tomato basil concoction on it. It was light, flavorful, and just what I needed.\n\nI topped it off with a dip of vanilla ice cream.\n\nIn retrospect, I could have just had the salad bar and soup and been happy, but the fish was great, the wings were tasty, and the ice cream settled it all. Ahhh.\n\nC'mon, you locals, give this place a try. I haven't been disappointed yet, and I've dropped by, as I said, randomly, about ten times over the years. Once, I even brought my meeting guests there, boss included, and it was one of the most enjoyable evenings we had that year. \n\nI'll be back the next time I'm there, in January.",
"Diner food is exactly that, diner food so when u go in a diner you should not expect to much. I don't care for diners myself is I'm going to go out to eat I want good food. I have been in this diner a few times and the waitresses have always been pretty decent. I think I had the half of chicken and potatoes and salad bar. The chicken was ok. The salad bar was pretty bad. Stale lettuce, watered down dressings and the add ons didn't look good either. I guess it depends what your in the mood for. Not somewhere I like to eat. To some who do like it I think they have 50% off on Wednesdays on your check.",
"My friend from New Mexico always wants to meet me here when she travels from home.She misses Diners,apparently they are far and few between out West.\nShe is happy when we go because we can sit for hours chatting and no one bothers us .She does give a rather large tip up front and say's drop off the check and don't worry about us. We will pay whenever you are ready to go home.She would give it a 4 but since I'm doing this review I will give it a 3 since 2.5 is not an option.This place was a solid 4 or 5 many years ago, but different owners,baked goods have gone downhill and the food is just so very average.\nThey do offer 50 percent off often and I'm sure they would be a great deal for many,but I remember the Club House Diner when it was worth the trip just for the great onion rings,terrific desserts and fluffy matzo ball soups that are just not the same.The Matzo ball soup is way to dense and they are using a very salty,chemical tasting chicken base in the broth..\nThe salad bar is sad compared to the past.They were famous for that salad bar ,which is now sometimes pretty sloppy looking.The bread in the steam area of the salad bar is often dried out and a mere shadow of what was a show piece of the Club House Diner.",
"The buyer should beware--of 1/2 price Wednesdays, that is. Sure, they deduct 50% from your bill, but what they don't tell you is that they give you a menu with \"special\" Wednesday prices on it--$2 or more higher on every single item than they charge every other day of the week. How's that for a scam!"

"My husband and i are so pumped that we've got a Mini Doughnut Factory here in St Pete!! We've been to the one in Tampa a bunch of times and love it. This one is even bigger and has more places to sit and eat. The decor is perfect for St. Pete and the donuts and coffee are the best!! Plus, the owners are super nice, so it's even better! The great thing about mini donuts is you can get whichever flavors you want (or even build your own) and get to taste a few different flavors. Highly recommended!!!",
"If you're looking for the best doughnuts in Florida , look no further. This place is amazing. What makes this place better than others? First let's start with their flavor options, they have a wide variety of flavors ranging from your classic vanilla all the way to the sweet pig ( maple icing topped with bacon) and espresso chip just to name a few. Secondly, they have an opinion to make your own flavor creations! Like how cool is that! Thirdly, not only do they make doughnuts but they also make tasty treats with their doughnuts like ice cream sundays and milkshakes. Lastly, they're mini! So you can have more than 1 and not feel guilty #dieteticinternapproved \n\nAnother bonus is they have Online ordering. So you can order your delicious treats online and pick them up at a time that's convenient for you. (They also have pickup parking)",
"We went there at about 8am on a Thursday morning. We ordered 6 donuts and 2 large coffees. It took about 5-10 minutes to get our coffees from the cashier who left to go make them which left customers behind us waiting at the counter to place an order with no one there. It then took another 15 minutes before our donuts were ready. More and more customers came and and placed orders, everyone was waiting very long for their donuts. It got very uncomfortable in there. We ate our donuts and left quickly not wanting to be around all the tension. The donuts were just ok. Better Byrds are better.",
"St Pete is newest location for the Mini Doughnuts Factory, there's another location in Tampa, I've heard so many good things about this place, and the St Pete location certainly lives up to the its reputation! It's you have a craving for donuts then this is certainly the place, they offer a wide variety of flavored donuts and shakes! I purchased the 24 packs of mini donuts and asked for al different flavors! The mixture of chocolate, various cereal toppings, sprinkles and even bacon (personality didn't try it) the set of donuts was a very big hit at my office ! The staff is very friendly and helpful, place seems to be very clean! The few that I ate were absolutely amazing! Differently gives your sweet tooth a run for its money!!! Very enjoyable and worth go checking out!",
"When you walk in, it is a bit confusing... There is no signage of where to order/pick up. There is also no large menu posted either. After looking around, we managed to find a menu to order from. There were only a handful of menus though, and I noticed some customers were waiting a while just to get a menu. Other than the initial confusion, the doughnuts were delicious! There is a wide variety of unique flavors to choose from.",
"Lots of fun seeing your donuts made to order!!! Everything is essentially bite size so you can sample every thing without too much guilt.",
"You can't really go wrong with mini donuts. The cereal topped ones were surprisingly fresh and the cereal wasn't stale at all. 8 different types of donuts admittedly devoured. I took off one star because I think someone forgot the add the creme to my Boston creme pie donuts, they were just chocolate. I thought the cotton candy one was pretty neat and wasn't too sweet to eat. Also I think their donut shakes could use a little more imagination. Such a tourist grabber should look a little less plain and a little more instagram-worthy.",
"I waited 25 minutes for 3 damn mini doughnuts....this was absolutely unacceptable. This place should have pre-made doughnuts (freshly made same day of course). \nBetter Byrd which is 5 minutes down the road on 4th street has all the same Doughnuts that taste the same if not better and are cheaper AND 10 times quicker.\nSorry mini doughnut factory but ya'all need to figure out efficient logistics there.\nTo conclude people, not worth it. Again, there's a better, quicker and cheaper place 5 mins down the road.",
"First time here and the place is so nice! Beautiful pink & blue murals all over the place. Brilliant lighting from the sun and a busy staff of mini donut constructors. We had ordered online 24 hours in advance to pick up for our NYE party tonite. Turns out they don't make online orders ahead of time. Instead you let the cashier know you placed an order online and they will have you wait. So our order was fresh made to order and we waited about 15 minutes. Hustling and cranking out fresh mini donuts behind the counter was fun watching everyone moving in their own flow creating delicious treats for everyone. Staff seem very focused and not much chatter going about which is great! I'm so excited to taste the awesome flavors we got and I know our guests will enjoy them too!",
"Woohoo! So happy there are now two, both sides of the bay deserve one! Just like Tampa, one of my favorite places, and always a suggestions to friends who want a sweet spot or out of towners who are foodies. This location has a great modern feel and a perfect place to grab a spot & get some work done while enjoying a tea or coffee. I love watching them make my doughnuts down the line, and everyone is always up for a little chatter. Always a delicious visit with whatever I order!"

"We ordered food last night 11-9-13. The girl answering the phone tells us the food will be 45 minutes to 1 hour. OK they must be busy on a Saturday night. 1 hour and 15 minutes later I call back. They tell me the food is on the way. OK 20 minutes later my wife calls back and asked for a manager. They are not sure who the manager is. So a guy named Eric gets on the phone he is clueless. Very long story short 1 hour and 45 minutes later we get the food. The panzarotti's were good. The wings are absolutely terrible !! They were undercooked and very soggy. The curly cheese fries were soggy and cold. My advice eat before you order and only order panzarotti's from them.",
"Franco's used to be located in Westmont (where Treno is currently located) and they had moved to Haddonfield. They now have moved back to Westmont. Welcome home!\n\nI have had Pizza from Franco's and I don't think it is very good. However, they do make a very good Panzarotti. (nice and crispy, not too oily). Thing is, I am finding that I don't like Panzarotti's like I used to. (I stopped in last week). I find that I don't like the sauce... I guess I prefer a more darker/richer/flavorful sauce, more like what you would get in a Calzone.... Hey, that is just me, form your own opinion. \n\nPrices were reasonable. I think the overhead menu board is a little hard to read (then again, my eyesight is not so good these days). The person at the counter was very friendly.\n\nI don't think I will ever have a craving for a Panzarotti but I will stop-in again to try some of their sandwich offerings.",
"I live in westmont and wanted to visit Franco's for the first time. I placed an order for pick up when I arrived at the time they told me I had to wait for another 40 minutes. When I got home which is less then a mile away my food was Luke warm at best and the order was wrong. the wings were so salty and soggy we couldn't even eat them we had to throw them away. I wanted to give them a second chance so ordered again and I was disappointed again the order was wrong yet again and the cheese steak was skimpy and wasn't very good. Not to mention when I ordered the first time they said they had no pizza's available that's when I should known not to make an order.\nWhat I'm trying to say is go somewhere else and save yourself the aggravation ,disappointment and money.",
"Ok so clearly the bad reviews are by competitors. 1 review ever??? Going out of their way to write a bad review but you have never reviewed on Yelp before?! Line out the door and best panzarotti's in the world at Franco's. New great location? What's not to love (unless you are the competition)",
"Wow first tike here and the panzarotti is AMAZING! The staff was suoer helpful and the food was great. Hot! I gave u stars because I gained 4 pounds! I think the wings were some of the best. Garlic parmesan were delicious!!!!",
"A friend of mine used to stop on his way to my house and pick up panzerottis from Franco's for everyone, they were great. \n\nNow that Franco's is so close, I can go get them myself. Delicious. You gotta let it cool a little because the filling is lava right when you get it. I've never gotten delivery so I don't know what that's like. But they're friendly, busy, and comfortable. A couple of friends have gotten sandwiches and said they were pretty good. But I stick to panzerottis, no point in straying from what is guaranteed to be excellent. Even the specialty panzerottis are great. Last one I had was a chicken with extra sauce. Perfect, hot, not too greasy, and then I dumped a ton of garlic powder in it. Amazing.",
"Only 8 reviews??? This place is an institution - The only place to get Panzarottis from - In concept it is deep fried pizza, but in reality it is delicacy unrivaled anywhere else in the pizza world - Francos fries them exactly right, with just the correct amount of crust, cheese and sauce. I stopped by on a Monday for the special where u get each regular panzarotti for $2.75 - there was a 25minute wait at 7pm - the new venue in Westmont trumps the former Haddonfield location in both size and atmosphere\n\ntruly a phenomenal establishment with a great local food gift found no where else on the planet \n\nk, now to go exercise off the carbs! See you there next Monday",
"This review is specific to the Panzarottis . After all, this place serves the Original Tarantini Panzarotti and that is an important distinction to keep in mind when you have a craving for one of these deep fried dough pockets of goodness. Yes the baked imitation Panzarottis at other places may be healthier for you, but they lack the taste of the original, and whats more important then great taste in a meal. Just don't eat them for breakfast lunch and dinner as a regular diet.\n\nI have enjoyed the Original Tarantini Panzarotti for years now, so when Franco's place moved even closer to my house, it made it that much easier to run out on a Snowy winter night to feed my Panzarotti craving. Francos Panzarottis are consistent in taste and are stuffed with generous portions of mozzarella cheese and homemade sauce then deep-fried to a crisp, golden brown.\n\nI ordered the steak Panzarotti and my wife ordered the chicken for take out. While both were delicious, I have to say the steak it is still my number one go-to when getting a Panzarotti. We ordered a side of extra sauce to go with both. This was the only disappointment, tasted mostly like sugared tomato paste and nothing like a classic Italian tomato gravy. Only suggestion for Franco would be to change up his tomato gravy to improve the fantastic Panzarottis he serves up. I gave 4 stars for the Panzarotti w/o the side sauce.\n\nThe take out service was fast, friendly and efficient.",
"Franco's has the BEST Panzarottis. I love them, I would eat them every night if I had a faster metabolism. And they're only $3.55 a piece- can't beat that. \n\nLast night I called and ordered 9 panzarottis- they told me I could pick them up in 20 minutes. I was late to pick them up and was worried they might get cold- they weren't- instead steaming hot. (After they make them they keep them in some sort of hot box to keep them hot until you pick them up.)\n\nThe new location is great- much bigger with more seating and very clean. The employees are nice and helpful. You can also see employees making panzarottis in the kitchen- so you know they are fresh.",
"Tried their panzarotti for the first time a few days ago and I am def a fan now. I will be branching out and trying other menu items soon."

"For being a dinky little restaurant on a private-plane airfield, this is pretty darn good food. The restaurant is decent sized, with booths and tables, and is completely full service. The staffpeople are all friendly and the waitresses get food out quickly and never leave you wanting more water or anything.\n\nThe food tastes good. They close at 2 but serve breakfast during all open hours. They also have sandwiches, BBQ items, and salads. After discovering the hoagies those are now my favorite thing to get. The bread is flaky and the meats/cheeses taste fresh. They have red chili onion strings which are just like regular onion strings but red in color and have a slight kick to them. Very tasty.\n\nThey also have homemade lemonade and homemade pecan pie. although I have yet to try either.",
"THE CUSTOMERS:\nWe had a total of two adults eating at this establishment.\n\nTHE LOCATION: \nThe location is right off Ajo headed toward Nogalas. You pass Valencia Blvd. along the way and the restaurant is on the right. \n\nFIRST IMPRESSION:\nLooks very clean from the outside. Noticeable by the giant propeller outside the restaurant. Its located right outside Ryan Airfield which is kind of neat.\n\nTHE SELECTION:\nHad a nice selection of food. Both the breakfast food and the lunch food has a lot of flavor and was very tasty. I recommend the waffles with everything on it. \n\nTHE PRICE: \nThe meals are moderately priced for both breakfast and lunch. \n\nTHE FOOD:\nThe food at Todd's was delicious. It was food tied to the area and the food their gave you a great sense of being in Tucson. I would also try the prickly pear jelly and the prickly pear tea. I know the BBQ sauce is also the Chef's own recipe. My wife usually gets the Eggs Benedict and I usually get the waffles. \n\nOVERALL:\nThis place is good for families. Good for kids and good for groups. Dress is everything from business casual to shorts and t-shirt. Waitresses were nice and refills were plentiful. Parking is on-site and close-by.",
"The best damn waffles in SE Arizona and especially for an airport restaurant. The staff is exceptionally warm and welcoming and everything on the menu is first rate from omelettes to pancakes and waffles and everything in between.\n\nChef Todd is as personable as can be and so is the rest of his staff and talented kitchen staff...His hollandaise sauce kicks ass...freshly made daily and the right color always inspires confidence in me as a diner.\n\nThe mini waffles with homemade whipped cream...orgasmic\n\nThe cowboy coffee is soothing.\n\nThe flavors are first rate...if only all airport restaurants or airline food could be that good, I would never complain!\n\nThank you Todd for an exceptional dining experience every time I visit Tucson! You are well worth the trip.",
"The worst thing about living a mile west of the casino is that you're not really near anything, least of all a good place to get decent food.\n\nThe desert oasis at Ryan Airfield that saves the day is known as Todd's.\nMy wife and I visit Todd's frequently on the weekends, and we could not be more impressed. The service is always friendly and attentive, the food is fantastic, the airplanes outside are interesting, the prices are low, and the coffee is constantly refilled.\n\nI've tried many of their breakfast meals, including the breakfast burrito (comes with a great salsa), the breakfast sandwich (bagel, bacon, eggs, cheese, and a side of the griddle potatoes!), the omelets (so many to choose from), and the steak and eggs (sliced steak cooked to perfection). \n\nHowever, my favorite meal at Todd's is the Todd's \"not-so\" Benedict. It's the traditional dish, made Todd's way with a fabulous prickly pear sauce and eggs prepared just as they should be.\n\nThis family-run business is truly one of the gems of the southwest Tucson desert, and I'd take anyone there who came out near my place...if they ever got that far!",
"We have been going to Todds several times a month since we discovered it. They serve a bottomless cup of perfectly brewed Arbuckles coffee (mmmmmmm). The waitresses work very hard to make sure you are never without anything you need.\n\nThis past Friday I had the veggie breakfast burrito with the homemade salsa. Perfectly wrapped up in a fresh tortilla are crisp veggies, melted cheese, potatoes, and scrambled eggs. The tortilla is lightly seared on the outside to give it a little crunch...amazing. For you meat lovers you can get this with bacon or sausage too.\n\nMy favorite is the buckwheat waffle. Plain, with cinnamon apples, or strawberries and whipped cream you can not go wrong here. Crisp on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside it is the ultimate way to start your day. And they have their very own prickly pear syrup, yum!\n\nFor lunch the turkey burger is one of the best I have ever had,with pepper jack cheese and all the usual fixins, fresh lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle. I had mine with a cup of tomato basil soup, which was as good as you would find in a 5 star restaurant. Rich creamy and all the right seasoning. \n\nTodds is located at Ryan Airfield, so there are cool old photos and model planes hanging from the ceiling. The great view out the windows allows you to see all the cool action of the planes at the aiport, or on quiet days you can simply enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains. \n\nGreat food, great service, great prices, great atmosphere!!!! \n\nI really only have one complaint about Todds......they close at 2pm Sun through Thursday and at 7pm on Friday and Saturday, but it is a family \nrun place so I understand.",
"Even if I didn't live nearby, I would drive in from town to eat Todd's food. His food is so fresh and well-prepared. Some of our favorite things after many trips: hash, benedict, not-so-benedict, Todd's cakes, pulled pork sandwich, ribs, Friday clam chowder, and the bbq burger. Todd's bbq sauce is to die for, make sure you buy a bottle if you don't have the pleasure of dining for lunch or dinner. Yes, Todd's now serves dinner! During the summer months, they are now open Friday and Saturday nights until 7 PM. Usually on the dinner menu is fresh salmon. Last time we dined for dinner, we had another special, tri-tip with fresh squash. Wow! Have room for dessert? Ask Todd for about his Baked Arizona, his twist on a Baked Alaska. Great food for the prices. Hands down best breakfast in Tucson. Gailee and the rest of the staff are always friendly and always so helpful. I love supporting this family business and am so thankful they are close. In an area with no good food nearby, Todd's truly is a godsend.",
"The best Eggs Benedict with their own version of southwestern Not So Benedict and waffles with pecans.\n\nLove it! Love it!\n\nOrders come out quick and the service is good.",
"Have heard about Todd's for some time, but never in the area while I was hungry. Stopped by for a bowl of homemade soup and followed it up with a piece of homemade AZ pecan pie. Both were very good. The place is clean and airplane memorabilia nice. Darn it have fogotten the waitresses' name but she was friendly and attentive. There were a couple airplanes come and go; always like watching those.",
"I cannot say enough great things about this place. What started as a routine breakfast flight into Ryan Field, soon after evaporated into a day long stop with a broken airplane, and waiting for a ride back to Phoenix.\n\nWe read the reviews about Todd's and decided to go. We ordered breakfast; eggs, potatoes, coffee, pancakes. It's not the food that makes this place great. The food was good. Note; they have real maple syrup. It's not on the menu, and it's not listed. Call it an \"Easter Egg\" and request it. \n\nIt's the service, the attention to customers, the ambiance and the environment that make this place wonderful. Honestly, I find myself green with envy with the large Blue Angels F-18 hanging on the wall. If I could have hid it under my shirt, I would have.\n\nWhen the airplane broke, we went inside, to figure out the next step. They were accommodating, and welcoming. The let us occupy a booth for the duration of our time at Ryan. To make things even better, with a 4 year old in tow, we were concerned that we have had a disruptive, bored 4 year old. To combat that, they brought out a large basket of toys and let him turn the area in front of the booth into a play area. The owner sat nearby and enjoyed our company, and his guns and airplanes sounds as she worked away. \n\nThe owners are a married couple that seem to have found a niche at Ryan Field. I think Sherry and Todd have created something wonderful at Todd's.",
"I stumbled across Todd's one night messing around on foursquare, but didn't give it a try until a month ago. Since then Ive been back five times and every time is better than the last.\n\nGreat food, great service, and breath taking view!\n\nMy personal favorites are the Egg Benedict ($7.99), Western Omelet (2 eggs - $6.89...they even do egg white omelets!), French Toast (2 slices - $3.69). So far for lunch all Ive had is the Combo Plate - Chicken & Ribs ($8.99). Todd's Prickly Pear Chipotle BBQ sauce is AMAZING!!!\n\nThe only draw back is that they close at 2pm Sun - Thurs. But it's small & secluded so I get that. All in all, its a great gem of the SW Tucson area. If you find yourself near Ryan Airfield be sure to stop by. You wont be disappointed!"

"Very traditional Italian New Orleans restaurant. Some inventive dishes but still a place that you would be very comfortable bringing your grandmother.",
"Was looking for a good Italian restaurant in Metairie recently and someone suggested Fausto's. This is a small, quaint, family owned restaurant on Veterans. I'm told that the owners are brothers who learned to cook from their parents who came straight from the old country.\nWe ordered the eggplant sticks for our appetizer and it was quite good. For our meals we ordered the Eggplant Parmesan and Veal Parmesan which I was told was very good. The breading on both our dishes was good and the eggplant excellent however the veal was not a good as I expected and portions were small. \nAlthough I was a little dissapointed in the food I liked the atmosphere and the service of this little gem and would return.",
"They have some of the best veal marsala I've ever eaten--try the dish as saltimbocca, with prosciutto and melted cheese on top of the veal!",
"You have driven by Fausto's a zillion times. It's on the lower end of Vets just a few blocks from the 17th Street Canal. It's a small little traditional Italian restaurant. The food and service have always been acceptable but never outstanding. I have been here at least a half dozen times over the years. I have always thought the portions were a little on the smaller size, I don't think I have ever taken any leftovers home from Fausto's. Don't get me wrong, it's solid but not over the top. A very small, quiet atmosphere and very much the opposite of someplace like Bravo.",
"Nice little Italian eatery - bistro.... We went on a Saturday night & even though we didn't have reservations we were able to sit right down - but after asking they said it would be a good idea on weekends to have a reservations & I soon saw why - it got crowded. \nWe had the stuffed mushrooms as appetizer - yummy!!! yuuummmyyy!!! My honey got lasagna & I got the eggplant parmigiana (I am on a quest to find the best which I had found - for my taste - as TeCoRo's but sadly they closed) & while this was good - sauce was not sweet, it was very good sauce - it is not my best... I will have to try the other dishes that were recommended cuz I love chicken marsala!! (& not so much on a quest for that so am more open ;-) ) \nIt was a nice place, small quaint & I enjoyed the service & felt comfortable there ... could have been the wine? ;-) \nI am looking forward to going back to try other dishes!!",
"One word to remember: Arancini.\n\nYes, this appetizer in itself makes the trip here worthwhile. For the uninitiated, Arancini is a classic Sicilian app that's basically a ball of rice stuffed with ground meats, cheese, peas, and some other good stuff all nicely deep fried. Its serve smothered in a good marinara. Really, I could make a meal of off this dish alone. \n\nBut we didn't. We also had some entrees and a dessert.\n\nThe Pesce Siciliana consisted of a nice fillet cooked in lemon butter and white wine sauce and served topped with some tasty sautéed shrimp. Excellent dish, really. The fish was perfectly cooked and the sauce was rich without being overpowering. A winner!\n \nThe classic Veal Parmigiana was traditional - a good piece of fried veal topped with mozzarella and red sauce and served with a side of spaghetti. As classic as Italian comfort food gets. Very good!\n\nDessert we kept simple: a slice of spumoni. Classic. Simple. Good.\n\nThere is a rather interesting wine list considering that this is a rather small restaurant. Also some very good selections by the glass - including a quite decent Franciscan Cab. \n\nAs I mentioned the restaurant itself is a bit on the small side and it can quite crowded and a bit noisy on the weekends. It's all pretty informal. \n\nBottom line: Excellent Arancini, superb seafood, and very good traditional Italian. Recommended!",
"I still haven't been to II Tony's, and on some random Monday night, my boyfriend tried to take me there. Turns out that place is closed on Monday - where to go when you're in the mood for some chicken parm along the Jefferson/Orleans parish line?\n\nThe answer is Fausto's Bistro, which we found thanks to an iPhone navigation app suggestion. We showed up and were seated right away. The dining room is smallish and darkish, but let's just call it \"atmosphere.\" Our waitress was perhaps a tad brusque, but she passed by often enough that our straws never actually slurped, and the other servers brought us yummy bread and salads while we waited for our entrees. (We both order chicken parmesan - go with your cravings!)\n\nI definitely was pleased when the plate came out - the portions were just right, the sauce was delicious, the chicken was breaded well, and the pasta was just yummy. I'm pretty sure the reason my boyfriend and I weren't talking to each other during that dinner was because we were both busy savoring the deliciousness.\n\nAnd sometimes, when the entree is so delicious, you just can't help getting dessert. (We usually don't order desserts at restaurants.) We ordered 1 tiramisu with 2 spoons, and it was yummy. My boyfriend said that he probably likes our homemade tiramisu a little bit better, but it's not like he didn't eat all of his half of our piece. We'll definitely be going back to this place.",
"Was not impressed at all. It wasn't horrible, but overpriced for what it was. Our server, Mindy, was harsh and unfriendly. We ordered what was called on the menu \"traditional ravioli\" but it came out fried and stuffed with jalapenos and what tasted like semi frozen. My fettucini was okay but not work $18. We were never offered dessert and we waited half an hour for the bill after our entree's being cleared. The busser though, was fabulous, ecspecially with water service.",
"Great place! We were looking for a new Italian place and ended up here thanks to an iPhone app. We walked in and were warmly greeted by the owner and seated right away. We had the escargot and stuffed mushrooms for appetizers and they were truly delish! For an entree I tried one of the chief specials, white fish with a crab white wine sauce with lemon russet potatoes & spinach. It was a perfect. My friend had a breaded chicken spinach pasta dish that was equally delightful. We finished our meal by sharing one of their home made canolli's, possibly one of the best I have ever had. \n\nI highly recommend this quaint little Italian bistro. Have some chianti, sit back and enjoy.",
"I really liked this place! Have been here twice over the holiday season with my in-laws to be and it was fantastic both times. It's small and quaint looking on the inside and the food is great. \n\nThe first time we went there I had the chicken Louisiana, an paneed chicken breast with tons of seafood and a lemony cream sauce. Fantastic! it came with a large side of spaghetti with red gravy. I had two other meals out of this one.\n\nThe second time we ate at Fausto's we got the same waitress. She was very sweet and even remembered us. I tried one of the specials, a parmesain crusted gulf fish. It came with sauteed spinich and roasted potatoes, in a brothy lemon sauce. It was so large that half came home with me. It was a special but I wish it were always on the menu,.\n\nBoth times we ordered calamari for the table which came with both marinara and also with a lemon garlic dipping sauce. The lemon garlic sauce really made the calamari special.\n\nI'm sure I will be back to Fausto's...word to the wise, make a reservation, because the place is small and there isn't much room to wait if they are all booked up."

"Love a good sandwich and Capriotti's makes a great sandwich! Had the Capastrami and it was delicious! Also tried the clam chowder and it was very good with a great ratio of clams and potatoes in a rich creamy broth. My husband had the black and blue salad and loved it! Service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back!",
"We came to the private opening of Capriotti's on Plumb in the Costco shopping center. Everything ran smoothly, the staff was super friendly, and the food was delicious. They have numerous soup, sandwich, and salad choices on the menu.\nI had the Cole. It is a turkey sandwich with fresh roasted turkey, provolone, slaw, and French dressing. It was delicious. The bread was super fresh and delicious also.\nThey really did the ambience right. It is super old school Nevada (rustic chic) with barn wood accents as well as corrugated metal. Antique looking light fixtures with filament looking bulbs really set the room off smartly! Well done!\nI would highly recommend this as a lunch or take out dinner spot!",
"We stopped in about 11am on a Saturday. We were the only customers. The interior has a modern and industrial decor with Edison bulbs, corrugated metal and rustic wood.\n\nWe went right up to the counter and placed our order. I ordered the meatball and my wife ordered the chicken cheese steak. They were brought to our table in a short time. They looked and tasted delicious. \n\nSeveral other customers came in while we were there. They wrapped Half of my sandwich to go.\n\nAwesome sandwich, excellent service, beautiful interior, great location. So far this is our favorite capriotti's location.",
"I fell in love with Capprioti's at another location in town. I was at Costco and saw one here so I tried it. The quality and customer service at this location is majorly lacking. They forgot a meat on my sandwich. I had to drive back, instead of remaking it they just threw the meat on. They offered me a free small one (mine was a large) They put stuff on my sandwich that I didn't ask for. I will not be back to this location.\n\nUpdate: \n\nMy free sandwich that they gave me for my incorrect sandwich is messed up too. I now have to drive back and get it fixed.",
"Been a Capriotti's fan since their location on Sierra St opened. They make excellent sandwiches and have a number of options. My two favorites are their Cheese Steak with sweet and hot peppers or the Capstrami just as they make it. They do run you a couple dollars more then Port of Subs or Subway but for the quality difference its well worth it. This particular location is always very spacious, modern, and clean. I'm a fan.",
"We were in Reno for a few days and wanted to grab a couple of sandwiches to go.\n\nA friend of mine recommended their sandwiches and I wanted to give them a try. \n\nWe ordered a Chicken Cheesesteak Sandwich which was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The spicy peppers and the fried onions gave it a nice kick. I highly recommend. \n\nWe also ordered the Slaw Be Joe which was a roast beef sandwich with cheese and a thousand island dressing which sounded good, but the beef was a bit dry and cold. The description said slow cooked roast beef so I thought it would be warm at least.\n\nThe workers were friendly and provided great service. \n\nI will stop by again next time we are in town.",
"I use Uber Eats for work and came across this gem of a place. I have a few favorites around town and this has just became one of my top 3. The food is amazing and fresh. As an individual with an AAS in Culinary, I typically like to prepare my own food. Therefore, I must say that the food is amazing and excellently prepared. The sandwiches are very fresh, with great presentation and appealing to the eye. the soups are very flavorful and tasty! I cant wait to share Capriotti's with friends and family, both local and coming from abroad. As a true food aficionado this one a Reno's hidden gems when it comes to soup, sandwiches and hospitality.",
"I enjoyed Capriotti's immensely in Las Vegas. I've been to all 3 Reno Locations now and this was my worst experience so far. I was here with family and my 3 kids. It was 6:45 at night, two employees I saw and basically had the run of the place. My cheesesteak was served cold. The cheese wasn't melted, the meat was cold to the touch, and the bread was room temperature at best. My sister ordered a sandwich and salad combo and got the wrong salad. The rest of the food came out as ordered, but still the hot food wasn't exactly hot at all. The employees were very friendly and corrected the salad issue without any hassle. I had my entire 20 inch cheesesteak wrapped up to go because I saw zero ways for them to heat it adequately. Ive ordered cheesesteaks togo from the other two Reno locations and had them still hot to the touch after 15 minute drive home. So no idea what the malfunction was here. Decor is nice, and the place is clean. But clearly there are some issues with the cook paying attention to what they're preparing.",
"OMG!!! Yes please. How have I not been here before. I'm a vegetarian and I was able to get a sandwich with plant based meat. I was in heaven!! It was delicious and I was able to eat it for 2 days because of the size. I only got a medium too. I am actually craving it right now. The customer service was lacking,but it was clean and not busy when I went. I will definitely go back to this one and any other ones I may come across.",
"I use to order from Capriotti's often when i worked at my previous job. Never had any issues with whether they delivered or not. $3 for delivery fee which when you don't want to drive anywhere to get food works for me. I have ordered from here twice now since i have changed jobs and this is a different location from where I use to order from. First experience the man was very nice and was ok with delivering. This time however, the lady who answered instantly told me they do not deliver to my location (1.2 miles from them). I did let her know that they've delivered before so i heard her ask and was told yes they could. She let me know that sometimes they may not be able to and if they're busy would have to go to jet delivery and would cost $6 to deliver. WOW. I get my call that the delivery is here and I'm told that they forgot to put delivery charge on and i would need to pay $3 cash. I paid with my debit because I had no cash on hand which i informed the delivery driver. She then told me that i could include with my tip which is fine, i was going to tip anyways but still."

"Probably THE BEST seafood restaurant in Tampa you'll never hear of unless a local takes you here. Awesome food, very fresh, wide variety, clean, and very very reasonably priced.\n\nHighly recommend & will definitely return again on my next visit to Tampa!",
"A very good seafood to-go shop. Also sells a limited list of fresh fish/shrimp, but the business driver is fried seafood, well cooked with good sides, nice combo meals, low prices and some unique items. There are a few tables for eat-in, but mostly occupied by customers waiting for take-out, and the decor would not induce you to linger. Clean and bright, but very utilitarian. Specials include a fried mullet lunch with 3 sides for $5.99...and sides include the usuals.....slaw, greens, fries, hushpuppies, beans, etc. Unique items include fried conch as a dinner or by the pound. \nThis is one of the few places you can get smoked mullet....an old-time Florida favorite. They do it well.....good smoke taste improved by seasoning, and smoked til done yet still moist....so not dry like beef jerky. This is a dish for people who truly like the taste of fish, not those who look for fish that tastes like anything but.\n\nThe shop is located on the south bank of the river on 40th Street......a part of town that does not bet much Yelp attention and is not blessed with lots of fine eateries...but this one is worth a try by fish-eaters...and not just on Good Friday.",
"My favorite seafood in the (Tampa) Bay area.\n\nThe GOOD - the food. Actually make that great food. I eat here at least once a month. The fried fish meals are delicious and tastier than you'll find in more the more known, classier, expensive, etc. places in Tampa. The fish is seasoned well whether fried or grilled. And if you order a fried fish, the hush puppies are phenomenal.\n\nThe SO-SO - the price. Don't expect that since this place is in the \"hood\" that prices will be cheap. The prices are reasonable.\n\nThe BAD - room to eat-in, the restroom, the neighborhood. The placed is really designed for take out. Reminds me of Chinese take-out in NY - a couple of tables mostly for waiting for your order. Hopefully you won't need to use the bathroom while you're waiting, but it's good enough to wash your hands. The location is not in the best of areas to put it nicely, but you shouldn't worry about feeling unsafe either. Despite any of this, It's well worth l the trip!",
"It has been my experience that if you want quality seafood that is adequately proportioned to cost and reasonably priced, local fish market/ restaurants tend to have a competitive edge over specialty dining establishments that include seafood items on their menus. However, choosing one over the other is not without compromise. Ultimately a decision has to be made and there are several things that should be considered when making said decision. There are three components that help me to decide, Taste, Portion, and Cost. Taste is relative obviously, nevertheless, Cost and Portion are often dictated by the venue. For example; at a Red Lobster I can expect to pay roughly $25 - 30 for a meal containing a four ounce piece of fish (mind you that price may increase dependent upon market value). At that price point though, I expect a much more gratifying dining experience; particularly one the you might come to expect from a franchise of that caliber. Conversely, at a local fish market I can expect three times the portion size than that of Red Lobster but the dining experience is essentially limited to tedious seating accommodations. \n\nRiverside Seafood Market is the rule and by no means the exception. Nevertheless, what the establishments like Riverside lack in decor they over compensate in quality, taste, and portion comparatively speaking. Having said that Riverside obviously failed to win me over on the merits of their decorum, however, in their defense to expect anything more from a local fish market is simply unrealistic. Assuming that you love fish as much as I do, I can assure you, once you move past the ambiance the variety and the taste will effectively win the approval of your taste buds, stomach, and your wallet. \n\nI've been to Riverside Seafood Market a hand full of times and have always left a satisfied customer. This is actually my second favorite seafood joint in Tampa. I usually pay them a visit when my first choice is closed or they've sold out of my preferred dish. To date I've had their Smoked Mullet, Mullet Dinner, Fried Clam Strips, Fried Oysters, Fried Conch, and Homemade Conch Fritters. I am extremely partial to the Conch Fritters, in a word the are succulent! If you want great tasting seafood patronize Riverside Seafood Market.",
"Food cooked fresh to order and very reasonably priced. The owner is so pleasant and friendly you'd want to go back and visit again. Best seafood in town. Nice mom and pops restaurant. Has a very friendly atmosphere and the food just melts in your mouth. I'm salivating just writing this and will be back for more after work :)",
"Only the best!! Stopped by today to grab the lunch special. Your choice of grilled or fried 2 pc fish with 2 sides and a drink for only $5.99! It really doesn't get any better than that! Food was made fresh to order as always. Definitely the place you want to go for lunch if you want great quality for a great price. Whether you want to eat healthy or if you down right just have the munchies; this place has it all. Lunch special runs from Mon-Fri 11am-3pm. \n\nThey also have a fresh fish market that accepts EBT and foodstamps if you want something to take home with you.",
"So I am in from Atlanta and the girls wanted shrimp, quick review scan of Yelp and I drive 20 miles from St Pete to Tampa Urban setting and it was more than worth it. You walk in, the place is cool and comfortable and does Not smell like fish. Staff is polite. You order at seafood counter, pay, Credit Cards welcome, sit at one of the booths and you won't be disappointed . My girls had the shrimp scampi which was fresh and garlicky and I had the Fried Whiting and Shrimp . Every thing was fresh cooked to perfection. No salty seafood coating. The hush puppies which are usally throw aways were worth eating. Corn was sweet and fries cooked fresh. Yellow rice in Scampi butter was great. Prices more than worth it. I highly recommend you travel to this spot and eat your full of fresh affordable and well prepared seafood.",
"This place is my all time favorite. Hands down can't say enough good things about Riverside Seafood Market.",
"This is a cool casual eatery and seafood market. They have fried fish and smoked mullet and fried shrimp. I like the place and the owner but I found the food a bit bland and the fries limp.",
"Food was surprisingly good I had the Mini Basa Combo and was very surprised. I highly recommend it."

"Food Truck Fridays is a great idea. The execution might not be the best. I think it is most likely do to the infancy of food trucks in stl. Lines to get food were particularly outrageous. We were overwhelmed by the lines. I have never seen anything like it. Erika K and I went to a food truck festival in Austin TX last year and the lines here were way worse. A lot of trucks ran out of food quickly too. In fact, I didn't even get a chance to get food. I am sure people waited upwards of an hour to even get close to the window to order.\n\nI am pretty sad we didn't get anything. I work in the county and it seems like these trucks only go to downtown or BJC. They also don't do any late night or dinner service. Every other big city has food trucks round the clock, which is awesome. I wish that would happen here. It seems like this city is lagging in a lot of trends, maybe its time to step it up.",
"The long-awaited food truck revolution hit STL with a bang this year and thanks to Sauce and others for organizing an event that brings all the food truck vendors to one place. Perfect location for a picnic. There were easily over a thousand people braving the heat.\n\nNow this was the second installment and boy there are some changes needed if this is going to really have legs. Lines for several of the trucks were outrageous. The Seoul Taco truck had waits approaching an hour. The Pi truck ran out of pizza and promptly left by 6:30. By about 7 almost half of the trucks were down to only beverages or sides. \n\nHow to improve? The Cha Cha Chow truck has made a name for itself on the streets and have learned how to handle the crowds. They had three lines going, separate for cash or credit. This really made a difference in wait times and something hopefully other vendors can explore. Will certainly be back in August!\n\nBring cash, not all trucks accepted cards.",
"I love the concept of this event but it seemed poorly executed. I loved that there were so many people out enjoying a STL event but the lines were insane and the food trucks not able to handle the amount of people. Do not go hungry cause it's going to take a looonnnggg time to get your food.\n\nSadly, I found very little as a Celiac eating gluten-free that I could actually eat. I wish more vendors knew how to accommodate, although I can understand in a small truck how cross-contamination can be a real issue. Still, it seems some pre-made things could be done.

"I'm gonna have to agree with the general consensus so far. It was a fun, unique experience but unfortunately, there wasn't much to experience unless you like long lines and simple food. The Seoul truck is the best but in all honesty none of the food we tasted was much better than anything that could be made at home with a little practice. I was especially disappointed with the Floribbean truck that was so hyped up. It wasn't very good and I'm pretty sure it made me sick. \n\nThe big easy: Fun idea, but the lines need to get quicker and the food needs to be tastier. \n\nSpecial props to the organizers as there was ample recycling bins for all of the recyclables.",
"What a great idea! A mobile outdoor food court once a month! Next one is October 14th.\n\nOur favorites were Guerilla Street Food and Cha Cha Chow...so far.\n\nGuerilla Street Food had the most incredible Filipino chicken adobo meal ---- sooooo good. The fresh pork lumpia (non deep fried eggroll, more like a spring roll) was tasty and the size of a chicken snack wrap.\n\nAt Cha Cha Chow, I'm addicted to their Beef Short Rib tacos! Only $3. That is a serious bargain!\n\nI wish the food trucks were in the county where I could get to them more often!",
"A great community event if the weather is nice. What could be better than having a picnic in the park with gourmet food truck food. I usually have to buy something from almost all of the trucks. Get there early to avoid the lines. Of course, the lines also tell you which of the trucks are the most popular. Take some chairs and a blanket to enjoy the food while the kids run around.",
"I guess maybe I had higher expectations for this after hearing friends rave about it. Or maybe I am just super excited to eat food served from a truck only to have my hopes and dreams dashed because the line snakes all the way back past the public restrooms? \n\nI think they need to do a better job of telling people where to go because Sean and I had to pretty much drive around the entire park many times before we actually found where the event was. Which seemed odd to me because there were hundreds of people there! How did we manage to miss THAT?\n\nAnyway, we miraculously found a parking spot which was Thing No. 1 that was dreading about Food Truck Friday. Thing No. 2 I was dreading was standing in line. And Thing No. 3 was dreading getting bitten by mosquitoes. Well let's just say 2 of those three things happened to me. Standing in line, and getting skin raped by mosquitos. Ugh.\n\nTHANKFULLY the line for Chop Shop (only truck I really care about) wasn't super long and I managed to get my order in pretty fast! Yay! \n\nI really wanted to try the Spring Rolls from the Bahn Mi truck but the line was INSANE. \n\nI somehow forced myself to stand in line for 20 mins just to get a cupcake from Sarah's Cake Stop. I moaned whilst eating it, so I'd say the wait was worth it but maybe not the mosquito bites, ugh. Next time I am spraying Raid.\n\nSean's only comment was \"why is there no truck that sells burgers and fries?\" Sheesh! I think this is actually a challenge in disguise for us. Take out a few thousand dollars in loans from the bank, use it to buy some old rickety diesel truck, convert it into a retro-y, cute-sy, pin-up-y diner truck with bright colors painted all over it....\n\nWe would sell amazing burgers and fries to all of those folks who just really don't feel like waiting in line for a quinoa and black bean burger with feminist organic sprouts on top with a side of fair-trade bran and prune smoothie. Urp.",
"First and foremost, read Tracey W's review of Food Truck Friday. That'll get your on the right track and in the right state of mind.\n\nA few more instructions...\n- Parking sucks... be prepared for it. You're better off parking in the street closer to Grand than in the actual park itself. Better, yet, if you have a motorcycle... that would be perfect. You can easily park close and fit between a couple of cars.\n- There's a QT and Sonic down the street. If it's hot, it might make sense to BYO 44oz soda.\n- Have a plan before you get there. Sauce magazine lists out the trucks they think will make it to the event. Go here and figure out what you want first... http://www.saucemagazine.com/foodtruckfriday.php. Just realize, that the truck you want food from will have the longest line. \n- Wait in line... it moves fast. Don't be deterred.\n- Bring a chair or a blanket.",

"This is a new wine bar on Grand between the symphony and the Fox theater. Its an interesting concept bar, they sell wine and beer and it's also a dedicated photography gallery. They have a menu of snacks and light foods that go well with the drinks and a large communal table that encourages conversation about the surrounding art.\n\nIts a place you go to before or after the evenings events and its quiet enough to have an actual conversation. I thought it a refreshing new idea for STL.",
"Just checked this place out on a Wednesday night. I'm sure there is a very different vibe on nights when there are shows nearby and those patrons stop in, but there were only about 4 people in here at any one time when I visited. \n\nThe bartender Simon (from Scotland!) told us they just started a new happy hour which runs from 4 -7 which includes $5 wines - 1 white, and 1 red. Otherwise prices are what you would expect from a glass of wine - between $7 - $12. \n\nThe food is mostly appetizer chees plate fare. They didn't have everything so Simon made up some yummy combination of cheese, olives, figs etc. So I wouldn't call it a dinner place exactly, but I guess that's what I kind of did.\n\nThere will always be a photography show up here which is related, or maybe curated, by the International Photography Hall of Fame which is just around the corner. The show I saw was Webster University student work.\n\nIn conclusion, a nice cozy spot which may make you feel like you are a sophisticated person.",
"Great vibe and concept. Right in the heart of the arts district. And a 3 minute walk from my place = good stuff.",
"Grand Center is no longer just about seeing ticketed events! There's finally a great place to just go and hang out, thanks to the Dark Room, a new wine bar/gallery space.\n\nThe decor is sleek and minimal, with dim lighting. There's plenty of different seating options as well as outdoor tables. There's a solid wine selection as well as some interesting bottled beers, like Perennial Mint Chocolate Stout. If you want a real tasty white wine, check out one called \"The Derivative\" ($50/bottle). It definitely left an impression on me.\n\nThere's also a decent food selection, with small bites and more substantial offerings. Definitely try the thyme-cheese gruyers ($6). They are little bready snacks slighly bigger than a quarter, but they pack some serious flavor. These are probably the ideal snack to accompany a glass of wine. Other snack options include chocolate-covered grapes and mixed nuts. I tried the smoked salmon bruschetta ($12) and I was pretty impressed. 3 healthy pieces of toast covered w/ cream cheese & smoked salmon, each topped with a dollop of caviar. It was damn tasty and the caviar added a savory kick. There were some interesting flatbread & meat/cheese plate options as well.\n\nAnother cool aspect of the Dark Room is the music. Come in on the weekend and you are likely to hear some talented DJs and musicians. The owner of the place is connected with the local scene and has a great ear. There is also always cool revolving artwork being displayed in a gallery space. Sip on some wine, check out some art and groove to some great music. It doesn't get much better than that...\n\nThe Dark Room makes a top-notch date spot and is also great for larger groups. Of course it's ideal for stopping by after a show at the Fox or Powell Hall. Or just swing by on the weekend. Grand Center is actually cool now, who woulda thunk!?",
"A nice, classy, simple wine bar with a helpful staff and great wines and local beers.",
"Wednesday night Jazz from 9-11 PM with Kasimu Taylor & friends was the exact laid back yet mentally stimulating experience I needed. I really liked the organic \"freestyle friends\" that creates a unrepeatable performance. I find it fascinating how good live musicians can adjust to each other's needs from introduction, tempo, sound levels & want to solo. I wish more people & organizations could do this.\n\nThe Dark Room itself is a great backdrop for this show. Photographic black/white art (name is \"The Dark Room\" or the light controlled room to develop film) gives ideas while the Jazz gives the color.\n\nDescent selection of bottled beer for a wine bar allowed me to enjoy rye ale for $5.\n\nI used the yelp check-in \"freebie\" to order a plate of the \"house made\" hummus. The amount was more than I expected & so was the amount of garlic. I really like garlic so tried to eat most of it, but I ate before & could not.",
"I loved this place! They had a girl playing piano and singing. I had a great glass of red wine that was only $10 and the photos on display were amazing! The street it is on is way cool - Fox Theatre neon lights etc. - glad we found this place!",
"The Dark Room is a MUST stop before the show at Fox theater. Willie and Anna are the best!! Get your buzz on at the Dark Room instead of wasting your money for cheap wine and beer at the show. Have a great glass of wine or try a local craft brew beer with a scrumptious cheese plate to share. Five stars all the way!!!",
"We had tickets to the Symphony We wanted a place to eat that was close I checked Yelp and found The Dark Room I was excited to find the $35 deal The place was easy to find We walked in and headed to the bar Our bartender was a little stressed because the cook didn't show up for work I offered to help bus tables He was doing his best to make drinks wait on people cook food and try to keep everyone happy Our drinks were made to perfection We found a table after we cleaned it off The Flatbread was delicious however we ordered hummus and didn't get it Which was fine because he was so busy",
"Great wine selection and the first genuinely helpful sommelier I've met in St. Louis, since I don't know when. \n\nLovely atmosphere. Perfect for a late night drink after the symphony (late for this fish, at least). The view out the window was stark and beautiful and mysterious, so that I felt like I was visiting another town. The DJ was only slightly annoying, not too loud to keep us from talking. \n\nThe staff was, if anything, a little too friendly. (I''m a cold fish at times like that.) \n\nPrices were reasonable. \n\nAnyone worried about parking is a provincial idiot."

"I've never been to Louisiana, so maybe I'm not qualified to give a cajun restaurant 5 stars... oh fuck it. This place is amazing. Officially one of the best restuarants in town, right up there with Sunset and Margot. This guy Chappy had a restaurant in Mobile, Alabama that was wiped out by Katrina. Now he's here serving up mostly fish dishes, all cajun. The fish is so fresh and flavorful, it has to be flown in daily like Sunset. White table clothes and delightful waitstaff, plus decadent Old World meets New World ambiance... get a private dining room in the back, complete with oil paintings, antique light fixtures, and heavy red curtains. Just try not making out. Fresh bread made on premise (try the smoked aligator butter). Been there three times in as many weeks and the best thing so far was the stuffed flounder... it is very big: just have a friend order an appetizer and then split the flounder. That dish is so rich, with many fish and cremey flavors blended together, and it works masterfully.",
"HISTORY\n\nJohn \"Chappy\" Chapman opened the original Chappy's Seafood Restaurant in 1984 in Long Beach, Mississippi, a small town on the Gulf coast between Pass Christian and Gulfport about 70 miles East of New Orleans. Apparently, he had a thriving business until, 21 years later, the devastating tidal surge of Hurricane Katrina obliterated any evidence that the restaurant ever existed.\n\nLike many Katrina victims, Chappy decided to relocate. He ended up in Nashville and in June of 2006 opened Chappy's on Church.\n\nINFERENCE\n\nChappy could have gone just about anywhere. I'm guessing he chose Nashville because it had very few existing restaurants that featured Cajun or creole cuisine. I'm also guessing that he is trying to reinvent Chappy's as a higher end dining experience from the more informal family setting he featured on the Gulf Coast.\n\nFIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE\n\nThe restaurant is painted a gold Mardi Gras color (think New Orleans Saints), but Chappy could easily be mistaken for a Vanderbilt backer in these whereabouts. In the waiting area, you can browse through \"Art Menus\" that featured the oil paintings on the walls. All of them are for sale. I was impressed that Chappy provided this outlet for artists. Prices range from several hundred to several thousand dollars.\n\nThe interior is lush and formal with nice niches along the far wall for small private parties. The manager acted as the receptionist and she was very warm and informative.\n\nThe crowd was sparse during our Thursday lunch meal since it was two days after Christmas. Chappy stopped by our table and extended his own warm greetings. Our waitress was very jovial and professional. In short, the ambiance was top-notch.\n\nUnfortunately, the quality of the food was not a match for the setting.\n\nOur appetizers were brought to the table quickly. My bisque was so mediocre that I can't remember whether it was shrimp or crab. It wasn't nearly creamy enough and relied inexplicably on an over-kill of chopped onions for flavor. I sampled my brother-in-law's fried green tomatoes and was underwhelmed by their blandness. I will give Chappy high marks for his seafood gumbo. I tried my father-in-law's and loved the slightly bitter taste of a well-prepared roux that underpinned an explosion of delightfully rich seafood flavor against my palate.\n\nThe salad's presentation was great and featured Mardi Gras colors. You can sense how hard Chappy is trying to perfect his dining experience. I chose the \"Creole Vinaigarette\" dressing. It presented my tongue with a delayed reaction - very little initial taste with a rearguard attack of spicy flavor at its base (at about the time your mouthful of lettuce and carrots are already down the hatch). It grows on you as the salad disappears but never really delivers on its promise.\n\nThe luncheon menu relies too much on fried fare. I had the Trout Almondine and regretted the choice. Very unremarkable. A few tastes of my niece's grilled tuna was evidence that Chappy does better at this sort of thing. What was missing in all the entrees was a rich redolent sauce in which you can sensuously roll your tongue. \n\nI tried the bread pudding hoping that a stellar dessert would change my \"so-so\" opinion of the place. Alas! I can name a dozen places that serve you a much better example of my favorite dessert. The glazed pecan sauce was too sugary and just didn't work.\n\nCONCLUSION\n\nIn local television ads, Chappy cleverly exhorts you to \"go to Church\" more often. My response is simply this: if he really wants to deliver the Gospel of Creole cuisine to the flock in Nashville, he needs to evangelize in a tastier fashion. At the moment, Chappy provides a nice dining experience that features unremarkably decent food, period. If he'd set up shop after Katrina in Houston where I live, I doubt he would survive. There is simply too much mouth-watering competition already there.\n\nHe has a chance in Nashville and I hope he makes it work. A successful Chappy's represents a real feel-good story. I'm rooting for him.",
"I was kind of scared of the mustard yellow exterior, but the inside had a pretty nice decor - not that I care that much about that. What was cool was the jazz trio, with the shredding guitarist.\n\nThe meal started with a small soft bread loaf with 4 kinds of butter - garlic, strawberry, alligator and plain. The bread tasted good, but it had that crumbly consistency of corn bread which was kind of annoying. The alligator butter tasted had a seafood like smoky taste which was good the first couple of bites, but was clearly going to be disgusting if I kept eating it. Strawberry butter was not really what I was looking for - I tried it, and was done with it. The garlic was the \"go to\" spread - nice and garlicky and well, stinky, the way garlic should be.\n\nMy co-worker and I each started with gumbo - I kind of thought it was pricey for a cup at $5.95. But man, was it good! Considering how it was loaded with shrimp, I will not call it a jip. Nice deep flavor, great thick consistency on the stock... It was the best part of the meal.\n\nWE also split a calamari appetizer. Nothing extraordinary, but I thought it was nicely done - it has a nice crispy batter, but not \"KFC extra crispy\" crunchy. \n\nThe dinner came with a salad, which had a slice of tomato, a slice of pickle and some tiny pasta shells. I had the cajun vinaigrette, which I thought was pretty good. I wish they gave me more greens, though.\n\nFor the entree, I had the grouper topped with shrimp and crab and stuff. My co-worker had blackened snapper, which was probably the better choice. The grouper was nicely cooked, moist but I dunno - it kind of lacked that \"punch\". I probably should have picked the duck instead - but then again, I'd probably be complaining that I should have picked the grouper if I did.\n\nSo I gave it the fourth star based on the strength of the gumbo and the live jazz trio. This is a classic 3.5 star restaurant...\n\nAnyway, go for the gumbo! Get the bowl and go light for the rest of the dinner! :P",
"I've only eaten at Chappy's once, and it was for what they call a \"semi-formal\" during my final year at Lipscomb. Chappy's is just that...semi-formal. It's certainly expensive enough to be considered a high end restaurant, and the food was good, though it wasn't as impressive as its atmosphere and reputation suggest.\n\nChappy himself is apparently a relocated victim of Katrina. That (coupled with the fact that it's one of few if not the only place in Nashville to get Cajun cuisine) made me extremely eager to try it out. The atmosphere on my visit was nice, because, while it is somewhat upscale, there was a neat little jazz three-piece playing and the staff was polite and laid back. I had a couple of cocktails (a move that actually could have gotten me in \"trouble\" with my fellow Lipscombites), both of which were pricier than you'll find at most restaurants.\n\nThe food itself wasn't as flavorful as I'd expected given its authentic Cajun label. I expected a little more, but I met with Chappy himself, and he was a very friendly and expressive gentleman. I really want to award the place with five stars, but I'm afraid the food will have to wow me a little more on my next visit if old Chappy wants to get a bump from yours truly.",
"We visited Chappy's last week at 9pm on a Friday night, when my hubby and I were driving around hungry. Saw the restaurant, been meaning to go, jumped in and asked if they can seat us, but we were dressed casually (casual chic of course), and the sweet lady gladly welcomed us. \nThey even sat us in one of the cozy side rooms w/the curtains. The server was great, very knowledgeable of the food and wine selection and very friendly. We ordered steak and grouper.\nMy hubby's steak was the bomb, I tasted it, my grouper was okay I guess. However the toppings for the grouper was delicious (mushroom brown sauce type of topping).\nWine selection was awesome, bread and exclusive butter selections were delicious. Appetizer - delicious, some type of crab dish.\nThey are pricey, but we'll visit again, except next time, I'll get the steak or seafood dish.\nGREAT music. Awesome awesome Chocolate Godiva martini, my gosh! I'll go back just for the martini and music. All the feelings of New Orleans in there....",
"Being from the Gulf Coast, I was especially excited when Chappy's moved in near downtown Nashville. A restaurant that boasted fresh seafood, and Cajun style at that? I'm in! \n\nI have only been to Chappy's a handful of times since it opened, I'm ashamed to say. I've had great experiences each time. The seafood is super fresh--and yes, I can tell--after all, I grew up dining on seafood that had been swimming earlier in the day. \n\nWhen you go, get reservations--and expect to be there at least 2 hours, maybe 3. Chappy's is a whole dining experience, not a place to eat and run. They give ample time between courses to catch up with your table mates, and enjoy the evening. They have two larger rooms that are great for groups--call at least several days ahead to reserve one! There is a bar, but this is a place to eat dinner--at a table. It's also a little on the pricier side, but you should expect that for fresh seafood! Totally worth it. And, if you are lucky, Chappy himself has been known to visit tables to check on food and service. Both are fabulous, in my book! \n\nMinus one star for location (a little off the beaten path for an evening meal) and price--other than that, zero complaints! Go for a fun evening with friends, or a great date night. You won't be disappointed!",
"I really wish I could give Chappy's more than two stars. I'm very reminded of the review of Chappy's in the Nashville Scene...It's a wonderful looking place. There are nice banquettes for private parties as well as a separate dining room. I thought the service was fine if a little slow. In someone's review they write that it's \"relaxed.\" Um, maybe so, but I don't need to wait 20 minutes between my salad and my entree. Maybe that's how some people eat, but not me.\n\nIt's a friendly place. The chef did come around to our table, twice. I think he probably should have spent more time in the kitchen. \n\nThe meal started off ok. The bread was good and came with four compound butters. I found this funny because when I used to wait tables our restaurant would do the same thing. I could never keep the flavors straight because they were changing all the time. I was explaining to my friend what the different flavors were when a very solicitous waiter came by to assist. I told my friend he was hitting on her (which he was). The highlight of Chappy's butter selection was definitely the strawberry butter which tasted fresh. The alligator butter was way too salty for me and the garlic butter was extremely garlicy. We had a smoked salmon appetizer with toast points that was ok. The salad was interesting with pasta shells, some lettuce, and a couple of other things I can't remember. It's not just iceberg lettuce. The highlight was probably the dressing; I'll leave it at that. \n\nFor our entrees, I had a piece of trout meuniere which was fine. It had an ok flavor, but I definitely wasn't blown away by it. My friend had a seafood sampler platter that she thought was ok as well. I mean, yeah, the seafood was fresh. She wanted it grilled which they couldn't do, but the waiter helpfully suggested she could get it broiled with seasoning. That sounded fine, but then she thought it was overly seasoned when they brought it out. She's kind of a picky eater, but it seems like there could be a happy medium if you are trying to eat healthy and not get a huge fried seafood platter. Served with my trout was the worst tasting side item I have had in a long time. It was some sort of twice-baked potato that was just awful. The potato was burnt, and the filling inside the potato was not at all good. I really wish they had given me the option of just having a fresh baked potato with some butter and sour cream since these \"twice-baked\" ones tasted like they had been sitting around for a long time. I would suggest you avoid this menu item if you can.\n\nWhat else..there was live jazz which was nice. It's good to have a change of pace from the usual country you get in town. However, the way the dining room is situated, I thought the music was really loud. Especially if you are going to relax and have a \"dining experience.\" I'm a little sensitive on this issue, but really, if I'm eating, I probably want to talk to the person I'm eating with. Oh, we had dessert as well. My friend ordered a key lime pie that I ended up eating. It was too thick for her -- she thought it was more like a cheesecake than a pie. It was ok, not spectacular by any means. We also ordered a blueberry cake that was supposed to have cream cheese icing. Again, what came out was not what I expected. It was more like a large blueberry muffin. Eh. \n\nI think the topper is how expensive Chappy's is. I think they are charging for the experience. This place has its fans, and I can understand why. It's got a throwback feel to it, and if you can get over the bland and overpriced food, well, maybe you'll like it to. I can't say I'll be back, unfortunately.",
"My \"4 star\" rating is for the cuisine! I visited during lunch with fellow coworkers and we were there far too long for the number of customers dining in!\n\nOur meal was delicious and good enough for me to visit again with friends and family. It's authentic New Orleans cuisine with the flair that only natives can provide. Chappy himself even came out to visit with his customers!!! Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and GREAT food!",
"I haven't decided what I think about this place yet. I went at lunch with my boss (who's about 30 years older than me) and the place was empty. The seated us at the back of the restaurant in what can only be described as a our little room, the size of a booth. They're many of them in this area, obviously made for privacy. I thought it was weird since there were only two other people there and they were all out in the open. Whatever. \n\nI wasn't impressed with their Caesar salad or rest of their menu. Everything was too fancy for me. I did try the seafood gumbo and it was alright. I liked the bread too.",
"This was an odd place. A (slightly) overdone decor, a giant loaf of bread with a knife in it, smoked gator butter (what?), in the neighborhood that doesn't seem to have whole lot around.\n\nAnyway. The bread was okay; very soft, very buttery. To that, you can add 4 different types of butter (regular, herb&garlic, strawberry, smoked gator). I shamefully admit that I liked the strawberry butter the best.\n\nI got the lunch combo...which included a house salad. The house salad was truly the most boring salad I've had. shredded carrot, giant piece of sliced tomato, creole dressing...which seemed to be vinegary version of french dressing.\n\nThe actual \"entree\" (batter-fried catfish and sausage creole rice) was pretty good though. I wish I had more of that catfish and rice and did away with the salad and bread.\n\nSo overall, it's alright...but (slightly) not good enough to deserve 4 stars in my opinion."

"Went to your pop up tonight at Inglewood Lounge. This town is in for a treat! What a fantastic survey of the region and with such a unique spin. Looking forward to the next time!",
"Our first visit to Peninsula was a hit. We sat at the bar and Craig helped us select our drinks and food and everything he suggested was delicious. I am not a fan of overly sweet drinks and being we are in Nashville I was worried the Sangria would disappointing and be too sweet but I was so wrong. The sangria was everything I wanted it to be and with a slight hint of sweetness. Out of everything we ate the tomato toast with chicken liver mousse was my favorite. We ended our adventure with their ice cream/caviar/chip dessert- because why wouldn't you want to try ice cream with caviar? And this was also delicious. I'm not sure if it was the gin and sangria talking at that point but I highly recommend you try it.",
"Excellent and creative food, great service, pretty space. We will be back! Recommend the mackerel and the rabbit especially, but everything was really good.",
"Wow THIS. IS. THE. REAL. DEAL! The restaurant is only 1 week old everything was excellent from the cocktails to the food to the service. Incredibly creative food - Make sure you get the Chicken Thigh Blackberry thing.thing... YUM.YUM and Oh YUM! We look forward to visit #2.",
"I mean... I knew it would be good but... damn! This spot is fan-freaking-tastic. In a city that's really resting on its culinary laurels, Peninsula throws down the gauntlet and offers an experience that is unlike any other in town. If you're tired of paying premium prices for yet another 'elevated Southern dish,' make your way over to Greenwood and prepare to take a vacation in your mouth.\n\nPeninsula makes an immediate impression. From the moment you turn on to Eastland and wonder where these condos came from, you'll forget all about it once you take a gander at the large windows that make up the walls of the dining room. The high ceilings lead your eye to rounded archways, hanging plants and chandeliers that recall the Iberian Peninsula (oh... right). Listen and you'll fall in love with a soundtrack that's as comfortable as it is entertaining. The music won't distract from your meal but it fills in the empty moments where/when you're too busy eating to talk. The space isn't huge (35 seats) but it offers a variety of 2-,4- and larger tops, plus bar seating. That said, you'll want to make reservations... just to be on the safe side.\n\nSince Craig Schoen is large and in charge, you know the drink program is going to be phenomenal. Craig is the reason why Inglewood Lounge and Rudy's got off to such strong starts. The man knows drinks and can come up with concoctions that had to have come from a spell book, they're so good. Peninsula is more of the same. Bucking the easy out of focusing on whiskey, Peninsula, instead, offers a gin & tonic menu. It's adventurous, daring and different. No one else is doing this. Not being one for gin, I was a little hesitant to try but a.) when in Spain/Portugal, drink gin and b.) Craig. So, after a quick tutorial from Jillian (more on her in a bit), I decided on the #4: gin malfy (think 'limoncello'), lemon, orange, and tonic. The result is a mild, extremely drinkable citrus take on a gin & tonic. My buddy's #1 (with fermented blackberries and fennel) had much more of the traditional juniper/herbal taste of a gin & tonic. With eight varieties, you're bound to find something you like. My second cocktail of the evening was The Life Aquatic. How could it not have been? This rum, berry and citrus cocktail was deep, round and just the seafaring potent potable you'd want for day/night drinking. I want to come back and try my hand at the wine offerings. I have full faith in what Craig tells me to drink.\n\nI also have faith in the food set in front of me. Peninsula offers small, shareable plates (because Spain) and while the flavor combos may seem tricky, they're all delicious. Jillian suggested (between two people) to get 4-5 plates. I would opt for 5 because the food is so good you're going to want to try as much of it as you can. Because my belly has betrayed me, I needed to eat gluten-free. No worries. There's an abundance of gluten-free options on the menu. No matter your dietary hang up, you're going to eat well. Plates come out as they're ready and the menu ranges from smaller to larger so have fun and eat up. We tried the rock shrimp (the presentation reminded me of ceviche; the protein was plentiful and delectable; paired with horseradish and radicchio, the texture components blended as well as you might think), the serrano ham (unreal; not at all salty, sliced razor thin and served with tomato butter and a grilled bread I couldn't eat but looked and smelled like heaven; I had it on good authority that the bread was magnificent) and the rabbit. Whatever else you get, get the rabbit. If you order nothing else, order the rabbit. This was the best rabbit I've ever had and I used to live in New Orleans (where it's on a LOT of menus). Braised and served in a garlic broth you'll want to drink, this rabbit was wonderfully tender and seasoned with the garlic, French pepper and aromatics of the broth. For those who can eat bread, I was told that the croutons that came with the meal were divine. I would bottle the broth as I could. It might have been the best thing I've eaten in a very long time.\n\nLastly, a quick word about the people. From Craig to Jillian to Yuriko, everyone with whom I interacted was warm, informative, funny, and incredibly passionate about this project. Their energy was impressive and it means a lot when a staff is all in to what they're doing and makes the customer feel welcomed and important. Their good vibes added to an already incredible evening.\n\nPeninsula offers innovation, whimsy and diversity to Nashville's dining scene. It's a needed shot in the arm in the complacency that's come over recent local food culture. Craig Schoen and co. are the future of good eats in Nashville and I am here for it. Without a doubt, Peninsula is the next restaurant experience you need to have. Without.a.doubt.",
"I usually do not post but Peninsula had to be mentioned. We went to celebrate our anniversary with our family and the experience was amazing all the way around. The drinks were delicious and extremely imaginative. Great wine selection. Great service and the food was magical! A foodies dream. Definitely a must try. We will be back a lot.",
"We had an absolutely fantastic meal and experience at Peninsula. We went with another couple and ordered 8 different plates to share, some of which were more delicious than others, but all of which were really good. Our favorites were the braised rabbit and the beef steak with potatoes and escargot. The dishes are unique and exotic. The portions are not quite \"shareable\" size for 4, but we wanted to try a little of everything. The service was exceptional - we had one main waiter but we were checked in on by several different staff members, and we got great recommendations for both drinks and food. We will definitely be back, and next time I'll order my own dishes so I don't have to share!",
"Unique and delicious. A gin lover's (that's me) dream cocktail list awaits you. If you don't like gin, the \"I know what you need\" bartender will make sure you leave satisfyingly intoxicated and wanting more of his magic libations. The food is delightful, quality and perfectly portioned but be warned it's not your typical east Nash burger and fries. Try the shrimp for sure!",
"I was impressed with my first visit to Peninsula! However I'm reserving full 5 star status until I've had an opportunity to sample more food. \nThe space is open and I love the decor. The kitchen is located in the corner of the restaurant and we were able to secure a spot on a Tuesday. \nThis is a tapas restaurant, so come here ready to share! The drink menu is very gin focused which didn't do much for me, but my companions were very excited about the cocktail menu! I had the sangria, and it was not as wine heavy as I would have liked but not sweet which is a plus. However, there was some kind of spice that wasn't my favorite, and I probably wouldn't order it again. \nWe ordered a sheep cheese (not the blue cheese), the tomato toast with pate, chicken thighs, and rabbit. The chicken and rabbit were a highlight; the rabbit was in a fabulous rich broth and the thighs were on a bed of grits with fermented blackberries that was divine!! We didn't love the tomato pate toast; it had a smoky flavor that left a weird aftertaste. Pate is also hit or miss for me so that probably didn't help. The cheese was good and overall, and we all left happy and full splitting these dishes amongst 3 people.\nI think this restaurant would be ideal for a date night for 2 people and will be back to try more of the menu!",
"Dined at Peninsula with two other friends for a birthday celebration. We were interested in the food and were told upon seating that the food is served tapas style and meant to be shared. Okay - cool with that. We ordered the tomato toast, shrimp/radicchio, beef shank, catfish, chicken thigh, roasted squash and cucumbers w/ salmon roe. The place setting consisted of a plate with a fork/knife. The server brought the toast and shrimp first. The liver on the toast was very unctuous - but the burnt edges of the toast added a smoky flavor that was unpleasantly bitter. The shrimp was a little heavy handed on the horseradish. The roasted squash with ham broth was served next. A small bowl was presented with three spoons. And the chicken thigh was described as chicken thigh, blackberry and onion - it was also presented in a bowl as a single confit chicken thigh with something of a pudding consistency and three plump blackberries on top. The server left. WHAT?? So we're all supposed to just dig in over and over with the same spoon.... double dipping???? We asked for extra bowls and some additional spoons for serving. As we completed the squash and chicken, the bowls and spoons were cleared form the table and we were presented with the catfish and beef shank. Both presented in bowls. The server left. We flagged them down and requested more bowls and spoons. The server returned with three bowls and three spoons. We finally determined that the spoons were in a basket behind our table and helped ourselves to 2 more spoons for serving. Our final dish was described on the menu as Cucumber, Salmon Roe and Lemon. It arrived in a - guess what? A BOWL with cucumbers salmon roe and lemon, that was topped with a gazpacho. Fortunately it was accompanied by 3 small bowls and 3 small spoons. FINALLY. If food is to be served in bowls and to be accompanied by some broth or other liquid - wouldn't it dawn on someone that most people would not want to eat something like that from a communal bowl nor does a broth lend itself to being served onto a plate? \nBecause of the issues with the \"plating\" (or \"bowling\" as it were) - I didn't pay much attention to the food after the toast and shrimp other than to notice that most everything was heavily salted (mostly the broths - due to being a reduction. The exception was the cucumber, salmon and lemon. I suppose the roe was to impart saltiness - but it didn't - at least not enough to highlight the cucumbers.\nIMHO most of the dishes this night were \"misses\". I might likely try Peninsula again as everyone can have an off night - but the \"plating\" I have a real issue with and hope they address."

"Awesome food. More than enough on a plateful. I had the pulled pork and yellow rice which was out of this world. I will be going back to try the rest of the menu also. Maybe even use them for catering.",
"Definately 5 Stars in my book!\nMy husband & I went last night and the food was amazing. I had a chicken dish (shredded chicken) with rice and greenbeans. He had the same thing except he had yellow rice and black beans. Both were out of this world. \nThe people who work there are very friendly. Its right down the street so we WILL be making this a favorite place of ours! The portions are huge and its hard not to eat it all. You must try this place, you will NOT be dissappointed.... Trust me! :)\n\n\nI went here 3 times in 3 days this weekend!",
"The six of us got to the restaurant at 8:45 pm, after a 9 minute ride from our condo at Johns Pass. The food is presented cafateria style, so we paused, how long had the food sat in those warming trays. The staff was so nice and welcoming so we stayed for dinner. We were given a choice of three beans, two types of rice and either pull pork, roast or fried chicken our a fish. The portions are big we should have shared. The meals are great value at about $9 a plate/ drink.\n\nEveryone enjoyed their meal, but nobody could finish all their food.\n\nThe room is super clean.\n\nIt is worth the short drive.",
"I'm giving this a 2 for service. \n\nI went to Pipos today for lunch. My boyfriend ordered the prepared foods (pork, rice) and I ordered a Cuban sandwich. We sat down and 4 people that ordered after me received their sandwiches. \n\nMy boyfriend, almost done with his food) went up to the counter to inquire about my food. They told him \"it will be right up. Some of the presses heat at different speeds that is why other people have their food already.\" We said OK. \n\nA Moment later the food came out. The bread was warm and the meat and cheese were cold, not melted AT ALL. They forgot to make it I'm sure, but they never bothered to tell me. We requested our money back and left (I had to get back to work as it had been over 30 minutes at this time) and they gave us attitude (they did return the money).",
"Not impressed at all. The food was okay at best. They have a buffet type set up that they serve you from and my husband watched a worker picking and eating from it with his fingers. Would never go back. There are too many Cuban places around with much better food.",
"Heard alot about pipo's, and all the hype was on point. Tender juicy pork, need to try more on the menu, but, sandwich was fantastic. Friendly service!!",
"Let me start off by saying that I have absolutely no idea what real Cuban food tastes like. So with that being said I will rate this as a Cuban food non-aficionado!\n\nAs a whole the food was ok. We were on vacation from Ohio and bought a coupon from living social. So we decided to go with appetizers as well. \n\nWe ordered the empanadas which were ok as well as the Tamales which came with extra smoked pork on top which we deeply liked as well as the deviled crab which was a little fishy tasting.\n\nFor the main dish we ordered the mojo chicken which was dry(cafeteria style) but none the less tasty and more of the roast pork, the same which was added to the tamale. But the overall best part of the meal were the beans. The garbanzos as well as the red beans were not good, but rather instead they were fantastic\n!\nI would rate this as a 3 but the service was not good, but rather instead, exceptional. If we lived there we would be happy to go again and as i said to begin with although not knowing of Cuban food we enjoyed our visit!",
"I am sitting here at pipo's now. Service was horrible I am done with my food and still havent gotten the bread that was to be brought. The bourbob chicken had good flavor but that was the only flavor. Sub par rice and beans. Tamale and empanada were the plainest I have ever tried. I love all latin food. This is a very poor representation. The atmosphere is nice... Food and service horrible.",
"Highly recommend this restaurant. We ordered the roast pork w black beans and yellow rice with fresh Cuban bread. Awesome! The carafe of the Sangria was delicious too!",
"Super good! I was skeptical at first, especially when they said it was cuban cafeteria-style, but the food was great, the people were helpful, freindly, and the bourbin Chicken, meatloaf and pork all all good! Oh and the bread...yum"

"kind of a hole in the wall, small dining room about 6 tables. I had a chili dog , foot long all beef hot dog, good chili and cheese very generous portion very friendly people.I will definitely be going back to try more of the menu.",
"I heard a lot of good things about this place, and being a fan of chili dogs, I wanted to check it out. Sadly, I was very disappointed, the chili was about 90% beans, and had very little meat in it. Won't be going back there any time soon.",
"Sinbad's is a great place to grab a quick dog. The menu is short and concise and the food quality is definitely good. The atmosphere and seating leaves A LOT to be desired as it is usually difficult to find a place to sit and eat during any peak time. All-in-all a very satisfactory experience but nothing more.",
"Sinbad's is an outstanding local business with great hot dogs! It's quick, reasonable and friendly. Folks going with the attitude that this is the end-all, be-all of restaurants may be disappointed, but as far as great quick lunch spots, this one is tops! \n The food is fresh, made to order and delicious. The small dining area is cozy, but make a friend and share a table. The reason this place has been around so long? They do hot dogs better than anyone else... period.",
"Great food, good portions, and friendly staff! They use a delicious hot dog with a good \"snap\" when you bite into it. Yes, their chili has beans but it is still tasty and Sinbad's is in no way deserving of two stars because of that.",
"For all those bay area transplants sinbads is very similar to a bay area staple caspers hot dogs. Sinbads have great dogs. Go with the cheese dog, you won't be disappointed. Easily the best dogs in the area. Great snap!!!",
"Four stars for the spicy Polish sausage, listed as a spicy hot link on the menu. Probably the best Polish sausage I've tasted in the area. Three stars for the chili cheese hot dog, mainly because they use canned chili.\nAfter writing a review of Quarter Mile Corn Dog a couple of weeks ago I looked at the reviews for the other hot dog places and was surprised to see all the positive reviews for Sinbads.\nI had not tried this Sinbad's in 15 years. I tried the original when it opened in downtown Reno, I think in the 1980s. The person behind the counter, I believe the owner, kept telling me as he prepared the hot dog that it was going to be the best hot dog I ever had in my life. One bite and I knew it was terrible. He stood there expecting me to agree with him and I told him it wasn't and he acted like I was lying. If that hot dog has been made with sawdust it was have been an improvement. The meat tasted terrible. And I don't think he saw that.\nSinbad's grew into a chain and the hot dogs never improved. They started offering milkshakes at this place in the mid 1990s and I used a coupon to get something at a discount. And the hot dog was still terrible. So I had written this place off until I saw several positive reviews on Yelp.\nThey offer a mild Polish sausage, which I didn't try, and then a real Polish sausage that they call a hot link. It's not that hot and if you're expecting some serious zip you'll be disappointed.\nThe hot dog was pretty good. Nice snap, as others have noted. Good flavor, too.\nI'm not sure when the quality of the hot dogs changed. The owners changed in December 2006, the staff told me. I'm guessing maybe then. The owners need to get the word out that Sinbad's no longer uses those crappy hot dogs.",
"Been coming here since I moved to Reno with my family in 1979. Back then there was a place near my high school (Hug). It was a bit far to get there and make it back in time for class so I had to sacrifice getting back in time for class... Bummer. The owner then was such a wonderful and generous guy. He would always give extra condiments at no charge as he knew we were broke students on a budget. The owners have changed since then, but I must say the spirit is still the same. Great place, wonderful smiles all the time and the BEST chili dogs I have found!",
"Good. That's the first single word response. We were craving some dogs and it's been a while since we've been to Sinbads. The last time was over 3 years ago and we vowed not to visit again for quite some time. Well, with a coupon and a desire for some good dogs with a casing, we were surprised. The owner was polite and cheerful. She was accomodating. Apparently the current owners took over about 3 years ago, just about the time when we had are poor experience with the prior owners.\nWe are impressed!\nAnd, we will return!\n\nPlease Keep on Smiling and give good food at a decent price and you will always have a following!",
"Great local business. Friendly staff, very good hot dogs. I had the polish sausage and the hot link. Both delicious! If you like wieners, you will like this place! (Get your mind out of the gutter!)"

"Culver's Butterburgers and Frozen Custard opened finally 7/16/14. A slight delayed opening due to Largo's strict permit structure.\n\nA welcomed new comer in the burger chain experience here in Florida. This burger establishment has it's roots in the Midwest, Wisconsin actually. Started in 1984 by a husband and wife, it's grown to over 500 units and is still family owned.\n\nAs this was our first visit I had to go with what's made them famous an original Butterburger deluxe, double patty, cheese, mayo, pickles, onions, lettuce, and tomato on a lightly buttered toasted bun. All I can say is YES....welcome to Largo! I opted as my side chili fries, which were hot and delicious. My Bride chose the fish sandwich, North Atlantic Cod Filet. She said it was better than any fast food and even most restaurants! Not greasy with a nice outer crunch to it. We both had shakes with our meals. Creamy, thick, awesome, custard shakes.\n\nThere is so much more than just burgers too. Shaved Prime Rib sandwich, chicken ( bone in or boneless), pork tenderloin, Reuben's, chopped steaks, and soups, salads. And for all you cheese heads Wisconsin Cheese Curds!\n\nSo come on out to Largo and check out the new kid in town. You won't be disappointed.",
"First timer at Culvers and I was impressed! The burgers were great and the cement mixers were delish",
"There were 10 of us that went to Culver's in Largo for my son's birthday. We are from Wisconsin and have had Culver's many times and wondered if this Culvers would stack up. \n\nWhen we arrived it was BUSY. The place was packed, several people at the registers and hardley any tables were open. But the outside tables were completely open so we sat outside which was lovely. Our 2 families ordered and both order takers were pleasant and really seemed to care about our order. We even saw one of the owners helping behind the counter and she was kind and welcoming. \n\nAll of our food came out hot, fresh, and just as we ordered. Someone in our group wanted butter and the person who brought our food said he would bring the butter right away. We went back to order custard and the experience was the same. Super busy but the cashier was friendly and our order was delivered just right.\n\nThe fried cheese curds were heaven!! Everything was so good. And you could tell the entire staff was working hard to ensure a good time was had by all. I would highly recommend this Culver's. And we will be back often!!",
"Update:\nI gave 'em another try. They have a \"No pickle on bun\" option that the cashier has to put into the system to avoid getting a pickle on your sandwich. So, that worked in my favor this time. \nMy burger was better than my first try (see below). It needed a bit more seasoning, but since this place seems to cater to the retirement crowd, I understand that salt and pepper are dangerous spices. As before, the fries weren't salted and the sweet tea was good. I still haven't tried the custard yet. Maybe another time. So, based on the food alone, it's like a pricier version of steak n shake food. \n---------------------------------------------------------\n\nAfter seeing this place packed regularly since it opened, the wife and I finally went for dinner. We pulled in and were immediately impressed with the reserved parking spot for veterans. The place was relatively busy, but not packed. \n.\nWe took a while to gaze at the menu and did not have long wait once we were ready to order. We were happy to see brewed ice tea (sweet and unsweetened as well). I opted to try the Root Beer myself. The sweet tea and the root beer were good. Everything was looking good so far. \n\nWe sat down and got our food relatively quickly. Another plus. \n\nI have a complete dislike for pickles and requested my burger with no pickles. While their were no pickles in the sandwich, there was one placed right on top of the bun. Really?!?! What part of NO PICKLE clearly printed on the order is confusing? \n\nThe burger looked good, once I checked to make sure they didn't put any more nasty pickles in my meal. It was decent for fast food, but nothing better than the nearby BK or Checkers. You can tell they just slop the stuff together without any pride. All the mustard was on side and the ketchup was on the other. My wife's burger was the same way. She claimed that her's was very salty. I didn't notice that as I had more condiments to hide that than she did. She couldn't finish the burger.\n\nThe french fries were nice. They were hot and pretty tasty. They needed a little salt, but that's easy enough to remedy. \n\nI was anxious to the try the Cheese Curds. We don't see too many places offering these, so I had to get some. We regret that choice. They were pretty close to room temperature upon arrival and the breading on them is SO THICK that we couldn't even taste the cheese. We wound up peeling off the breading (luckily this was an easy task due to the low food temperature) and ate the cheese within. The cheese was tasty. It's too bad it is buried in barely warm breading. These make the curds at A&W seem gourmet. *Yikes*\n\nDespite all the employees milling about, we were not approached about how our meal was. I generally don't expect that at fast food places, but Chik-Fil-A finds a way to do it.\n\nI may give them another chance and try their custard, but overall, we were unimpressed.",
"Awesome fast food, amazing service, great variety. I have never seen a Culver's before excellent experience highly recommend.",
"This was my first time visiting a Culver's. For those of you unfamiliar with this privately-held, 500- restaurant chain originating in Wisconsin, this is a modified fast-food concept with a much more expansive menu. You order at the counter, get your own drinks (soda/tea) and the staff brings the food to you. We went on a Sunday in the early evening, and it was BUSY with families. Great to see people excited about a new place! I really wanted to like it. But it's going to take another visit to see whether they get their newly-opened kinks ironed out. They don't really have their systems worked out for food delivery . You are given a number to place on your table, however, based on the design and floor plan (cute but inefficient), the servers can't see all the tables from one vantage point. So they wander around, with your food getting cold, looking for the numbers. We had to direct one young server to a family outside (he never thought to look there) after he circled the inside room three times. We know they had been waiting 20+ minutes (as we watched their child take a decent nap) and then there was something amiss with their order. Issues like this slow down the entire throughput. Table turn was slow and everyone was waiting for food. The staff is very pleasant and eager to please, so still promising! The delivery issue and disorganization are problems that could easily solved by some simple technology. On to the food - definitely a better quality burger, fries, etc. than the fast food kings. But, unfortunately, the other details to justify the higher price were lacking that evening- cold, dry burger, cheese not melted, limp bacon, unripe tomato, and bun not toasted all the way. These are the things that count when you are being asked to pay more, wait for food, but not get full service. Being fair, the price was still under any true sit down place and there is no alcohol to tempt you to drive up your bill while waiting :) French fries were awesome. Cheese curds were OK. They don't have the tang or texture of the best Wisconsin curds and are more like curd-size mozzarella balls, but there is always the Dunedin Brewery for an awesome cheese curd. We did not try the desserts, which I have to say, really looked good and may be the reason to always have a burger here vs. another fast food place where they can put the fast in fast food. Let's just say, there were a ton of their signature custards and concrete mixers going down on a hot July night!! Hopefully, they get the kinks worked out , because it was very clear from the crowd that people in this area are excited about having a family choice that's a step-above McD +BK. But look out Culver's on the burger front, if In-N-Out Burger ever makes it to our area.",
"Back in college , I use to go to culver's all the time! Mmmm, butter burgers and frozen custard! Comparing this place to other Culver's... its about the same. Customer service is always nice, my food taste as expected and its pretty speedy process. No more, no less. \n\nI love the burgers, chili cheese fries, mozzarella sticks and frozen custard. I'm never disappointed when I go!",
"We finally found an opportunity to stop by on Saturday morning. It is a nicely up-scaled fast food restaurant. We had been waiting for months while construction slowly crept along. At long last, we were finally in front of the massive overhead menu board. With an intense sense of urgency, we ordered.\n\nWe both got the Culver's Deluxe burger with two patties and with everything on them. We also ordered fries, onion rings and some chocolate shakes. With our order number in hand, we scooped up a fist full of napkins (because bearded men are very messy eaters) and took a seat in a cozy booth. It only took a few minutes for our food to arrive pipping hot.\n\nThe burgers actually looked like the promotional pictures on the walls! They are very similar to the burgers at Steak and Shake by virtue of the way they are cooked..smashed. They were quite tasty but I do prefer an un-smashed patty as far as consistency and bite goes. They did, however, taste better than Steak and Shake's burgers. I usually love crinkle cut fries but theirs have a coating on them that was a bit heavy. To my great glee, the onion rings were awesome. I will get the large size next time!\n\nAs a heads-up to anyone ordering a milkshake, mine was not a beverage! It was a frozen dessert. Apparently, I do not have the lung capacity necessary to drink their milkshakes through a straw. It was very tasty to eat with the spoon provided, though.\n\nOn our next visit, we will explore the many variety of choices that they offer but we will always get some onion rings!!!! Please stop by and give them a try.",
"Butterburgers, cheese curds and custard--the three most important Wisconsin food groups come to Tampa Bay!\n\nAs former Illinois Flatlanders who vacationed in Wisconsin, my husband and I had a lot of experience eating Butterburgers and decided to really put this place to the test with a couple of the Signature Midwest Dinners---Big Mistake! \n\nWhile the Chicken on the Chicken Dinner was tasty, the green beans were \"make your ears ring\" over salted (and what's with the bijillions of little onion bits?) and the potatoes were dry with just a smidgeen of gravy. And, what was I thinking ordering a Cod Dinner. For Golly's Sake, I live in Florida the home of \"seafood shacks on every corner\"! An overpriced dish of fried fish logs is what I was served. Won't make that mistake again.\n\nOf course, we saw the fabulous Butterburgers that were being carried out of the kitchen to happy customers....Next time.\n\nOf course, the star is the Custard! Whoo-hoo! Who wants ice cream when you can have smooth delish custard. I'm a flavor of the day gal! So of course, I picked up the monthly FOD flyer for future planning.",
"After a long wait Culver's finally opened. Of course after researching their offerings in other states. We had to give it a try. \n\nFirst, we went about a week after they opened at night, line out the door. Once we got to the counter we had plenty of questions about the menu and the guy running the register was able to answer all of those questions and of course told us what was good. \n\nMyself and my wife got a combo burger meal with bacon, forgot the name. I got the cheese curds and I upgraded and got a concrete mixer with butterfingers and snickers. She got fries with hers and got a concrete mixer with whipped cream and brownie bits. For all of this it was about $27 which is pretty expensive for the quality of food. However being out first time thought you give it a try.\n\nAfter ordering we take a number and sit and wait for them to bring out our food. I enjoyed my burger the cheese curds were not for me, they tasted just how they look, fried batter with cheese in the middle, the first couple of them are good then they get nasty after awhile. The best part of the meal was the concrete mixer. Think of a Dairy Queen blizzard. Same concept and of course it is good! My wife didn't finish her burger she didn't care for it, however liked the mixer.\n\nOverall if you are planning in going here keep in mind this is \"fast food\" and is horrible for you. However if you do not mind that give this place a try for yourself, a welcome change to the offerings we have in the area.\n\nJust be sure to run an extra mile later on ;)"

"Eat at Luke's once or twice a year at the most if you don't want to die young. Everything is so greasy and bad for you, but that's what makes it so damn good. I don't really eat hot dogs that often but the hot dog is awesome. There's also something, I forget what it's called, but it's a big ass sausage surrounded by roast beef, then covered in peppers and onions on a roll. The fries are also really good-crispy on the outside and like mashed potatoes on the inside. This stuff will kill you.",
"Lukes fries are the best. Order the ribeye sandwich, simply awesome.",
"I don't eat meat anymore, but if I did, I'd probably be here at least once a month or so. They have the BEST beef and cheese sandwiches. So, hey.. you don't eat meat, but you're advertising a BEEF restaurant? Yes, yes I am...it was (and most likely still is) delicious. \n\nLike another reviewer said, don't come here too much because you'll probably die super young. Everything's greasy, but its cheap. And filling. The staff remind me a little of something outta the Sopranos, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The place itself has a Chicago-y charm to it and makes you appreciate the food that much more.\n\nI've since moved to Phoenix, but I found one here. Maybe I'll visit should I ever get a craving for a heart attack?",
"I have driven past this place for months and finally made it in today. I should have stopped long ago. Awesome!!!! I had the sausage and beef combo. One of the best sandwiches in Tucson. Hands down. It is a must have.",
"Under new ownership since last year, the beefs are as close as you can get to Chicago, and the fries are great. The new owner is from the Midwest , and has a customers come first attitude, love it. Both the owner and his wife cleaned up the place and hired new people, what a difference now. That use a special bread maker that does not use Tucson water, it's fabulos, crunchy, tasty .\nThey also use a special meat person, then they mix the ajus on site, great place, now I don't need to go to Chicago for my beef fix.",
"We eat at Luke's about once a week. It is always the same - FANTASTIC! The Luke's on Thornydale is the BEST, due to the new owners. They make us feel like the patrons on Cheers -- call us by name and often sit with us. Everything is great; especially the hot dogs and any of the subs. Fries and onion rings are to die for. We bring all our visitors there -- they love it too. Thanks for a great experience. And you can eat healthy there; try the turkey sub with no cheese and mustard. Thanks!",
"The Italian beef sub must be the best in town!!!,they have good prices and the guy that runs the place is very nice.this place is going to become one of my favorites in town.",
"Hot roast beef sandwiches are staples at bars and family gatherings in Philly. Luke's calls these Italian roast beef and let me tell you, Luke's roast beef is as good as any roast beef sandwich I've eaten in Philly. Generous meat, insanely great rolls. I had the combo, roast beef and Italian sausage. To die for. Eat at this place, you won't be disappointed.",
"Max Says:\nI ordered the ribeye sandwich, which is their version of the philly cheese steak. Also me and Kelley split an order of chili cheese fries. The fries were great, although kinda skimpy on the cheese. I thought it was pretty good with one exception. They broke my cardinal rule of restaurants, ALWAYS SEASON THE MEAT!! While the toppings of cheese, mushrooms and onions were spot on, the meat itself taste like that of what you can get at a grocery store. I expect to have my meat seasoned when I go out to eat. I feel that toppings alone don't do the meat justice. That aside the sandwich was good, not too greasy. Also they have RC cola, not the usual Coke or Pepsi people are used to, and only 1 free refill. I personally suck down as many refills as I can, so that may be an issue for some people. The prices were not too high, our bill came to about 25 dollars for two drinks, two sandwiches and the order of fries. We'd like to come again and try their hot dogs.\n\nKelley says:\nI ordered the italian beef sandwich. I got it with cheese and mixed peppers, which consisted of green bell pepper, celery (I didn't know celery was considered a pepper :-P ) and jalapenos. The meat was dipped in au ju (however it's spelled) so when I got my sandwich it was very soggy and falling apart. Despite the fact that I don't like soggy bread (but that was my fault cause I could have ordered it dry and didn't), it was a decent sandwich. My only real problem was the meat didn't taste seasoned. The chili cheese fries were really good. I will definitely come back just to try their hot dogs and probably their sausage.",
"We recently moved to Tucson from Chicago and decided to try Luke's. Unfortunately, it was not what we expected from a \"Chicago\" style sandwich place. It is overpriced (more than beef sandwiches in Chicago) and unless you decide to pay extra for au jus on the side, the beef is dry and unseasoned. This place is not a representation of what a Chicago style beef sandwich tastes like or costs. I wouldn't go back."

"Awesomeness place to start your day they have plenty of deserts coffee and more they serve chips bananas and have all kinds of drinks nice staff very professional",
"Great coffee drinks and definitely a change of pace from the fast food/McDonalds-esque assembly line like that of Starbucks. A hang out place for the cab drivers of the area, and it makes you feel like you're stepping into another country for a coffee experience. Go sit in and watch the news and maybe get a dessert? I haven't tried any of them yet myself, but it all looks delicious. Just a regular black coffee will light you up, very strong but that's why I love it, great pricing as well! Abandon your usual trip anywhere else for coffee, hit up Ethio-Coffee House!",
"I'm in a hurry so: Everything Drew S. said.\n\nEspecially \"change of pace\", \"hang out place for the cab drivers of the area, \"makes you feel like you're stepping into another country\".\n\nI had morning cappuccino (different but not bad). When I mentioned breakfast i was offered a samosa (sounds like she pronounced it sambusa) freshly made this morning and in a display warming case on the counter. I got the vegetarian (lentil), and it was good, and felt wholesome going down.",
"The cafe misto may have been one of the best coffees that I have had. I am thrilled to have such a great alternative to starbucks so close by.",
"Small local coffee house. The strawberry, mango, avocado smoothie was so tasty and beautiful! The lemon cake and baklava was delicious. Great tea, nice and fresh. The people were very welcoming.",
"The staff are extremely friendly, patient, and even willing to share their culture with you. There's not a lot of room but the placed is packed with fellow Ethiopians drinking coffee and chilling. They also have fresh juice (I ordered mango and it was amazing).",
"Came here for a quick coffee today. I got the cafe mocha with sugar free syrup and it was super strong and good! I ordered the medium and it definitely had enough caffeine to get me going. \nIt's a very small coffee shop with a few places to sit inside. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of coffee they provide and I will definitely be back! I don't live on the side of town this coffee shop is in but it seems to be the best option other than the Starbucks about a mile down the road.\nYou'll pay half the price and get just as good if not better here :)",
"I really AM a fan. Great strong coffee 1/2 to 1/3 the price with a genuine nice smile and friendly owner. I ordered the Chai tea at first and went to the coffee...when in Rome with the Carmel sugar free syrup. \nBought 2 Sambusas They were Lentil. Bought them to go. They have juices too at about 3-6 dollars. Their avocado and papaya were out, but they had strawberry and mango. Decided on the coffee. \nThere were 5 taxis in front of the shop when I arrived. 2 left while i was there. If I lived closer would be here more often as their coffee is strong and a bit easier on the wallet.",
"I liked this place. It's cheap and straight forward. Prices are listed by drink type latte, coffee, cappuccino, etc. They actually have a large variety of sugar free syrups compared to most coffee shops I've been to. So, a definite plus. The inside is different. I'm not a huge fan of the smell. It definitely doesn't smell bad or dirty by any means, just the herbally tea, ethnic spice type of smell. Basically, it was a good coffee, good price. If in the area, I'd stop in again.",
"What a wonderful quant little coffee shop giving you a little taste of Ethiopian coffee and culture.... wonderful coffee and pastries. Even got some to take home with me to Texas! Thank you!!!"

"This is about the only specialty Asian dessert (all-in-one) place in the area. They serve bubble tea, fruit tea, roll ice cream, crepes, and many more things! Don't have to go all the way downtown anymore to get some quality bubble tea. Their roll ice cream is also very nice-- just the right amount of sweetness. I'll be back for more soon!",
"Super nice people who work here. Food looks amazing. A must if your in lansdale or stopping by in the area.",
"Great dessert place. They have all the trendy desserts like rolled ice cream, bubble tea, crepes and more!",
"Amazing customer service and treats! Free kids scoop of ice cream for your little ones under 5. The milk snow is the best I've had since living in Hawaii and is a very good size portion you can share with someone. Recommending this gem to family and friends.",
"I had the milk snow and my two boys had rolled ice cream. Yum. Gotta try the crepes next!",
"Really good and a nice change from regular ice cream. Freshly made to order and the customer service was great.",
"Because we love crêpes, my granddaughter and I had to come and try this place ..... it's great! We ordered the strawberry banana crêpe and a bubble tea . We'd like to come here for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dessert & try everything in the menu.. on different days of course.",
"Tried Cabana tonight, what a treat :-) our family shared the straberry milk snow and oreo rolled ice cream. Both were hand made fresh to order and very tasty and beautiful. The snow was unlike anything I've ever had, and was literally like eating vanilla snow. The rolled ice cream was also amazing. Their crepe menu looked very tasty, will have to stop back for lunch. \nThe staff was so friendly and welcoming. Wishing them much success!",
"This is a great new find in Lansdale. It's a dessert place with unique options. The ice cream is prepared by putting cream and fruit on a frozen surface then mixed and rolled together together. It's pretty neat to watch. \nThe crepes were also very good. We ordered the mango/ raspberry crepe and the fruit was fresh. \nIf you're looking for a fun dessert experience for the family, check this place out. Highly recommended.",
"The crepes, rolled ice cream, bubble tea, and milk snow are amazing! We've tried almost every flavor of the rolled ice cream and loved each one. I can't say enough nice things about the owner, he really takes care of his customers. Will be back often!"

"I could sum up La Hacienda by saying that if you're looking for good Mexican fare and efficient service, then try this location.\n\nWe visited for the first time because it is close to our house, but have returned several times since then because it is reliable. Like many of these small strip center Mexican places, La Hacienda is \"no frills\" on the inside. However, the dishes here are good, arrive hot and the prices won't set you back too much. I was very impressed with the quick service, prices and food quality during a recent lunch outing. I tried the veggie quesadilla - I think they call it the \"Garden Quesadilla\" - and it was awesome!\n\nWhen we don't feel like driving farther up the road to El Jaripeo in Westfield, this is one of our second choices.",
"Very good.\n\nI am crazy over Mexican food. I just moved up here from a city where I knew what Mexican places were good and bad, and which good place to go too for which meal I wanted. Food nerd? Yes. You caught me.\n\nWe tried one place previously that was just horrid and bland. Of course, there are Chipotles and Moe's up here, but they don't really count.\n\nWe happened into this place, and I had no expectations. Tho I was worried it'd be bland or funny spices or super fake.\n\nGOOD NEWS\n\nIt was none of those bad things! It was actually quite delicious and we were glad to find a Mexican restaurant that is what it should be. \n\nHe had a dinner combo of burrito, enchilada, rice & beans. I had the Big Quesadilla Hacienda--basically a fajita quesadilla. Very good. Very fresh, quick to come to the table, flavor was great.\n\nWe willl definitely be back there!",
"Good food,fast service, dirty place. Like alot of the hole in the wall places, this place can be dirty. The food is good but not as authentic as out west.Typical Indiana Mexican. As a previous user said, El Jaripeo in Westfield is much better.",
"Yeah it's basically a hole-in-the-wall joint. Both the food and the service is fast. Call it a sit-down Taco Bell. The chicken in the enchilada was overcooked.. enough said. There are plenty of other better Mexican restaurants in the area. Even Abuelos, which I panned, but trust me the food is cooked better.\n\n2 stars for the cheap prices, but no way I'd be back due to the poor quality.",
"This place is great! Good food and inexpensive! Their beef tacos are my favorite, delicious! Their salsa is also excellent and made fresh each day. They are a once a week stop for me!",
"So being Mexican and growing up in Chicago, I know good Mexican food. I have been so disappointed in the food that passes for Mexican in Central Indiana. Might as well be taco bell... I can say, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried this restaurant on a suggestion. I've been twice and plan to go again! The burro de roqueta is delicious. Tons of cheese if you like that sort of thing. Also like the 3.99 Taco Tuesdays but don't get the beef. The beef is super plain and tastes like something you can get at a school cafeteria only not as good. Chips and salsa are awesome. Overall, I am very happy to have found a place that is close to home as it gets.",
"Ugh! Never again. Got chicken fajitas & a surprise! There was a metal screw in it! Didn't realize it until I took a big bite & about went thru the roof in pain. Complained & the manager didn't even bother to come to the table to check on me. Yes, I got my meal for free, but I only took 3 bites of it. They asked me if I wanted another dish, but I thought I got the screw in the last dish...somewhere there's a metal nut floating around. I like my hardware at Menards...not on my fajitas!",
"Just randomly landed up at the place and decided to read a few review before we order...Andra's review had me dissecting my chicken enchilada before I took a bite..\n\nNever mind my obsessive nature...the way it goes is...the food was pretty good..had the Golden Enchiladas and a frozen margarita which was to pretty good, my companion didn't have the same luck..\n\nIn short, cheap, quick and quite yummy... I don't mind coming back when I'm broke and don't feel like cooking!",
"You'll have better mexican at Moe's next door! Not good.",
"Relatively authentic Mexican food. Huge selection and great prices.\n\nI'm not Mexican so how do I know it's relatively authentic? All of the staff and a lot of the patrons are Mexican. Go to Abuelo's up the street and see if you can find a single Mexican customer or a Mexican customer-facing employee. No? That's because Abuelo's is for gringos. It's to Mexican food what PF Chang's is to Chinese food and Domino's Pizza is to Italian food.\n\nA lot of the negative reviews from the gringos here are just indications of why many Mexican (and other ethnic) restaurants in Indianapolis go the bland gringo way - too many people around here simply don't like authentic ethnic foods. This preference for blandness also ties to the recent article in the Indy Star about how Indianapolis has the third most fast food restaurants per capita in the US and an article in Indianapolis Monthly a couple of years ago about how Indianapolis has the most chain restaurants per capita of any decent sized city in the US. Unfortunate."

"Such a welcome addition to the Jenkintown/Abington area! Not to mention the delicious food which is already well known... This particular place has really cleaned up with a brand new renovation and a superb waitstaff after a recent change in ownership. I will be checking in to this establishment often.",
"Eh, that's about it. Over flavored, over salted, artificial food with LOADS of salt and sugar. Fried and greasy and overall not good. The corn on the cob and the Mac n cheese are atrocious, I couldn't feed it to my kid as all I could taste was gallons of fake nasty butter. Gave this place a few tries and will not be going back. Looking forward to a turn around, and fast. Save your body the trouble, and go around the back to Jules Pizza or Curds and Whey.",
"The food was fresh. The service was great. Waiting time was reasonable. I never had a bad experience at Chili's. The atmosphere was warm and genuine. Location is right down the road. I love coming to Chili's in Jenkintown. Have wonderful variety of food to choice. Drink special are also great. love the hot chips and dip when its out of the oven.",
"My BF wanted ribs from Chili's so off we went. An hour later, I was kicking myself for agreeing to go. The ribs were just OK, nothing special, the fries were burned. The apps were so-so, and my entree was really infuriating. I got a combo platter, for $16.99, with the chicken and shrimp. Sub veggies for potatoes. The chicken was TINY and burned. The shrimp were really a joke. Ice cold, and about the size of a silver dollar. Had I gotten the 2 for $20 deal and gotten that plate, I would have thought, ok, that's about right. But for $20 with the side salad (that I ordered and didn't get until after the entree) I was not pleased. Not eager to go back.",
"Service was poor. Person asked if we were there before another pair. Told us a table was being wiped down, then took the pair behind us and left us standing there.",
"This place sucks. Why pay 7$ a drink or get Sysco food when Drake's is way better and right near it.",
"It's been a while since I've been at any Chili's but I'm glad I went!\n\nMy husband and I split the 2 for $20 and it was well worth it in my book. We had the chips and avocado salsa. It had a good kick of heat which surprised me. The waitress brought out plain salsa first and when I said we asked for the other, she apologized and gladly brought us out the other. I had the quesadilla salad with avocado instead of chicken (no extra charge) and my husband had fajitas. He asked for double rice instead of rice and beans and in the end, we were charged 99 cents extra for it. When I asked the waitress, she said she must have forgot to mention it was an upcharge and she took it right off the bill. Our server was extremely friendly and attentive and I was very happy with our food. \n\nI will certainly be going back to Chili's. They have fajita-rita Mondays (specials on fajita and margaritas) which I have not tried yet but I plan on doing soon!",
"3.5. this seems like a solid chain option. the seating is cozy, the place (from what i've seen) looks pretty clean and i enjoyed my avocado burger as much as i could--knowing that it's all artificial crap (wherever i go out to eat; i don't care if it's a chain or it's not, same shit, really) always makes it hard to enjoy eating out as much as everybody else, but anyway, i digress. everybody else at my table pretty much had fajitas (chicken, shrimp and beef)...i tried the fajitas and thought they tasted good for being over-processed and a little on the salty side...i mean, i've had much better...anyway, still good. my husband says a solid four stars for above-average food, location and cleanliness but we really don't see eye-to-eye on these sorts of things.",
"Good location but that's about it. Food is average chain restaurant fare and nothing to get excited about. Restaurant could use a remodel to open up the space.",
"I went there with my daughter for lunch the Sunday before Christmas. I waited in the lobby for about 5 minutes without being greeted. It didn't appear to be very busy. Finally someone sat us at a booth. We sat and waited for a server to come up to us for at least 10 minutes. I have an impatient 7 year old, and was not happy. I don't really understand why servers wouldn't be aggressive to make money right before the holidays. I am a server at another restaurant, and I would have been fired if that were me. I never got served, so I got up and left. I will never try to go there again."

"Great people, service (sit in at one of Kari's tables), food, & prices. Can get smokey, but what do you expect from a bar in Indiana.",
"Great Place! They are in the middle of remodeling the entrance but don't let the boards on the windows deter you. Inside is just fine. They are known for their bread sticks apparently and they were amazing!!! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Pizza and it was worth it as well! Jukebox rocked, bar was stocked! lol! Service was great and you can smoke in here. Will definitely return. Thanks Applebee's for closing at midnight and referring us across the street.",
"The Taylor's pubs 1,2, and 3 are some of the best neighborhood bars in the city. Food and cocktails are great and very reasonably priced. I have been loyal supporter of Taylor's for over a decade and encourage everyone to check them out!",
"Lovely decor, solid pub food. Beer list was your average run of the mill selection (no microbrews here). \n\nServer was... In a bad mood? Slow? Not happy to have a table of seven during a horribly slow Friday night? \n\nWe had to ask for food menus twice, waited on our check for forever, and battled her strange and indifferent tone throughout the night. She made us suuuuper uncomfortable.\n\nHer aside, because servers come and go, we're willing to return.",
"Overall excellent !\n\nHigh quality food, staff, atmosphere, clean, nice decor, good tv's....very reasonable pricing...overall a superb value for a neighborhood pub.\n\nWhile probably considered a regular of some sort....I was compelled to write a review after recent experiences at Bru Burger. Lots of folks love Bru Burger and it is an obvious success. Half the price of Bru...with what I consider a much better product...although you are not going to get the gourmet toppings like goat cheese...but you will get a damn good basic, simple, American burger !\n\nObviously now non smoking.\n\nFood is very good, truly one of the better burgers in Indy...and likely the best I have had consistently, Well seasoned ground beef...always cooked EXACTLY as ordered. High quality bun that remains intact throughout the ingesting experience.\n\nFries, while frozen...are always superb.\n\nThis is the ONLY place I eat frequently in Indy where the food consistently comes out TOO HOT to eat...which means it is still damn warm when you finally give up.\n\nThe kitchen staff do an amazing job...and you can watch them work....how they push so much food and stay so damn clean is amazing....I can't make breakfast cereal without spilling something on my shirt.\n\nThe only thing different I would choose....is a multi grain bun option, and fresh sliced jalapenos briefly grilled on the flat top before presentation...instead of the pickled ones.\n\nGood local micros on tap, not a huge selection, but typically well thought out and changing.\n\nService is always excellent from the exceedingly friendly and funny staff. \n\nHigh quality tv's....also tvs on the deck outside. Fun trivia night.\n\nGreat place to catch a game as well. Pretty good soccer bar for those inclined.",
"I really enjoyed this place. The wings were solid. The Black & Blue Burger was excellent, although the bun was somewhat uninspiring. And they even had a few craft beers on tap -- including and especially Triton's Railhammer IPA. \n\nOverall, it was a good experience. \n\nPeople who say there's nothing good on 86th street haven't been to Taylor's II.",
"Totally decent neighborhood pub. This place definitely caters to a sports crowd, and I recently watched an excellent IU basketball game with a packed house. The beer selection is well above average compared to other similar places, and the servers and bartenders are quite friendly. This place is exactly what you would expect out of a neighborhood pub, with just a little bit extra on top.\n\nOne major benefit - it's right off the Monon Trail. Great place to stop off for a frosty beer after a nice long bike ride or walk.",
"It's a cute pub. Great neighborhood place! Breadsticks and chili cheese fries rock! Do not get the taco salad or nachos!!! They're cold and not delicious! Warning on prices: a sun king cream ale is 6:50. A little pricey for a neighborhood bar...",
"I like coming to this place when I am looking for a laid back atmosphere to get a few beers and watch some sports. It is usually not really crowded, so it is easy to find a seat in a quieter atmosphere. I've only been here a few times, but the bartenders always treat you like a regular and like to make conversation if you are sitting at the bar, which I enjoy. It is definitely a bar that seems to draw a crowd of regulars, and the bartenders seem to know everybody that walks in by name.\n\nThe service has always been attentive and the food is really good pub style food at a very reasonable price. I have never had it, but the pizza they serve looks delicious and I have seen a few people coming in just to pick one up to go. They have a handful of a good selection of rotating beers on tap, and keep a good assortment of bottles as well. They have both food and drink specials depending on the day, and prices are on par or cheaper than most bars, in my opinion.\n\nIt seems that the music is usually playing form a jukebox, so it can vary quite a bit, but is always at a good volume that you can talk over to someone sitting next to you. There are a few TV's over the bar that usually have sports on, and if I remember correctly, they put the sound over the speakers for some of the bigger IU basketball games. There are a couple pool tables and golden tee if you are looking for something like that. They offer trivia on Wednesday nights, and while I haven't been able to make it there for one of those, I can say that I have been to other trivia nights put on by the company that goes to Taylor's and it was always a lot of fun.",
"Something about this place is more than the sum of its parts. Is the food amazing? Nope, it's standard pub fare. Are the drinks cheap? Certainly not. In fact, I strongly recommend against ordering a pitcher, since there's no discount--incredibly, it will cost just as much as simply ordering four pints. (If you don't know that going in, it's a very unpleasant surprise at the night of the night, let me tell you.) Is there ever live music? No, which really should be damning for a musician like myself. What it does offer: a respectable selection of draught beer, including local microbrews; a couple of pool tables in the back; a jukebox; and, most importantly, a laid-back, easy-going atmosphere. This a bar where adults go. If you're like me, and your college days are well behind you, you might appreciate not feeling like you should tell everyone in the place to go do their homework and call their moms. And the volume levels are such that you can actually hear the person next to you, although there's certainly no shortage of TVs if your friends aren't gifted conversationalists. In short, Taylor's isn't earth-shattering in any respect, but it's a great place to go to relax, have a beer, and not be on the \"scene.\" It's like the Cheers of Nora."

"What's up Tampa Bay. Do you know there is new kid in the block that serve endless sushi. It has all the vibe to attract young and old. Definitely good for hungry teenager. \n\nThis new sushi place has different signature rolls that are very good in my book. I would said this sushi place is the best in Tampa now for endless sushi. I can tell you there are several favorite sushi in my list. The Hawaiian roll is unique and gooooood. The salmon skin roll made the mouth watering. The spicy \"white\" tuna hand roll is definitely a try item. Don't forget BBQ Salmon hand roll. It is tasty. \n\nThe interior designer design has automated color changing lights. They are beautiful to look at. You have a choice sit on the sushi bar or regular alcohol bar. These bars have fancy lighting system. The service is good. No slow down period.",
"This new sushi place located at the south west corner of county line Rd and Bruce B Down of New Tampa Area. It's in the same plaza of Win Dixie, right next to L A fitness. It's brand new so everything was clean and shiny . Interior was nicely decorated . Weekday all you can eat lunch was $13 from 11 to 3 pm. This probably is the only place offer hand roll for endless lunch. I had couples of the hand roll. They were impressively good. Most of the signature rolls were quite unique and the ones we had were all pretty good. I also like that the dish came in small portion so I have space to try various dishes. I am glad this place is close to my house. And they just started running about a week ago. So it hasn't become crazily busy yet. The food came out fast. The material was fresh . The service was good. My favorites were Hawaiian roll , salmon skin hand roll , eel hand roll. I will have these again and try other items next time.",
"As is with all new restaurant there will some ups and downs. Ginza the new all you can eat location in the New Tampa area has brought the promise of more variety for one price. \n\nThere is phrase that when making a product you ask for good, fast, or cheap not you can only get two out three at any given time. Ginza falls into this category. When you want the good stuff like the variety speciality and it is part of the deal then you can not it expect it to fast. And if you want the smaller items that are prepped fast do not expect them to be good. \n\nIn its earlier opening, Ginza will meet most of the expectations and as they become more efficient at setting up orders, getting to customers at a fairly reasonably time, and completion of orders.\n\nAt this time i will say that food is ok, definitely a good amount of variety but price is still to steep for the quality. Its still new so expect delays and expect improvements with time and staff.",
"Sushi was good quality. It was well put together and made with very fresh ingredients. The portions are big enough to satisfy your hunger while being modest enough to give you the opportunity to sample a few different things. I got the all you can eat lunch and had a few really colorful, tasty, fresh, cute sushi rolls that were honestly above the quality I was expecting. The awesome colorful LED lighting is a plus.",
"Bland food, needs salt and pepper at least and actual flavors at best. For $25 at dinner, this was a disgrace. You don't come to these kinds of place for the decor or the service, that's fine. You come to have a lot of decent to great tasting food. I did not find that here. The nori on the rolls tasted stale and most of our rolls had a strange glaze. I gave two stars as they just opened, maybe they had an off night on a Monday and they'll put the salt and pepper shakers back on the table the next day.",
"Mehh. Service was snappy, but not friendly at all. Please don't take my water to fill it up. Please look at me and not the POS when ordering (even if our table backs up to it). Food was bland at best, except for the ice cream (I guess because it wasn't made in house). $25 is way too much for what is a \"super buffet\" brought to your table. The place still looks unfinished but could've easily gotten over this for good food, which didn't exist. And finally, I don't think we had the same waitress or runner once; some consistency would be nice. \n\nI want to love you, but I'll stick to other endless hibachis in town for cheaper and better quality, even if mediocre.",
"Food is okay, but really bad service, the Asia girl with yellow hair was so rude! She just gave us check with bad attitude before we finished dinner and asked us to give her more tips. This was the first time I met this kind of waitress in USA, I don't know why she can stay there with unprofessional service. We was very expected to go there, but really disappointed. Also we won't go there again.",
"I really liked everything I tried here including the Hawaiian roll, BBQ Salmon Roll, Volcano Roll, eel avocado roll to name a few. My fave were the age tofu and the Hawaiian roll. I loved the mango sauce. The sesame balls were the best cherry on top.\n\nEveryone that came around were super nicely, friendly, & helpful! At first our food came out fast. It soon got busy, and I'm pretty sure our waitress forgot our next order. Without a doubt, I'm sure. Good thing we were okay from our first items we picked out, but still. We waited and waited while everyone got their food. Couples next to us dined after us and were done soon before us, and we were still waiting.\n\nSo the moral of the story of this place is don't come if you are on a rush. It may take a bit, or order all at once.\n\nAlso don't forget the sesame balls! It will make it allbetter :-)",
"Tried Ginza for the first time today. We were a party of 5. The hibachi was meh. The Sushi was excellent and they had a great variety. Everything is made to order so it is not a typical buffet type place at all. The service was terrible that is the down side. My server has the personality of a doormat. I ordered some appetizers and we all put in an order for hibachi. I had to wait for my hibachi for 40 minutes because they didn't put my order in. I would go back for sushi. I will hope that the service issues were because they recently opened BUT we were only one of 3 parties in there. I was disappointed.",
"I've never seen soooo many selections for sushi!!! They also have Hibachi and Thai food if you love your curry and Pad Thai, General Tsao chicken ... Mmmmm the best in town! Green Tea , Red bean ice cream, fried bananas and Chinese donuts! And don't forget the sesame balls ! Tried them for the first time today they were delish!!! If you want to come in for lunch it's a good price for all you can eat sushi! Dinner menu has sooooo...much more to select from ! Or just try both! Nice , quiet date night atmosphere. My tummy was very happy with the food! I'll definately return and invite friends to try all this yummy food!"

"Went to this place for dinner last night, ordered several sushi rolls that were VERY GOOD!! Our waitress was great and also knowledgeable with the wine selection. Will definitely be back!!!",
"Bought a Living Social Coupon -- always like to try new places. FIRST TIME, I called day before to make rez. Was told they do not take rez's but i should call 1 to 1-1/2 hours b/4 I wanted to come in. SO, I called the next day, 1-1/2 hours b/4 I wanted to come in. THIS TIME, I was told to call 10 minutes b/4 I wanted to come in. OK, so I called 10 minutes b/4 I wanted to come in. THIS TIME, I was told that there was no guarantee for a table but that I could try to get one if I came in.\nAm I NUTS? Or, is this a CRAZY way to run a new restaurant??? Shouldn't they just say they don't take rez's and that seating is on a \"first come\" basis?\nMy bride and I dined elsewhere as there are many, many wonderful and certainly more accomadating restaurants in our area.\nBTW -- I canceled the Living Social Coupon",
"O Toro is truly the Main Line's hottest new sushi spot. I really love their sushi rolls! I have been there a few time now. We had GREAT service form waitress Paige and waiter Christian. Both were very attentive. The only thing I worry about is that it is going to become too popular and crowded all the time (which of course is a GOOD thing) ! The atmosphere is great. There is a good vibe in there. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes fresh, quality sushi!",
"Great sushi... great tapas... great server. Took my wife there last weekend... had a wonderful meal. Get the sunflower roll, the filet dumplings, and the fish tacos and you will be amazed.",
"First time experience was excellent. Enjoyed the food, service and ambiance. I especially like the combination of a menu option that includes both premium sushi and tapas. Great option to have a small taste of several things without overeating. The restaurant is not larger so be prepared to potentially wait on a busy night. We walked in on a Sunday at 6:30 to a half empty restaurant and by 7:30 there wasn't a free seat, that's a good thing. Service was attentive and pleasant throughout. I'd recommend as a option to Nectar or Azie without sacrificing overall quality. Found the menu to be somewhat limited but very interesting.",
"Excellent Sushi and amazing Tapas, try the steak tapas and the cheesteak egg rolls. Calamari salad was delicious. Also, their own sushi creations like Sunflower are about as good as it gets on the mainline. Second best sushi in our area, first still goes to BlueFin but this is a close second. Nice to have the free valet parking.",
"This place was amazing from the minute we walked in! We showed up early on a Saturday afternoon and were greeted by the manager right away. The decor inside was just beautiful- a great cozy feel. They had a great wine selection.\n \nThe food was amazing and the portions were actually bigger than I was expecting considering they were tapas. We tried about 5 different sushi rolls- my favorite was \"The Olive\"- hands down some of the best sushi I've ever had- equally compared to any sushi I've had on the West Coast.\n \nWe also went all out and order lots of the tapas on the bottom of the menu- some of the best was the mushroom flat bread and the filet tips. The filet was cooked perfectly, the meat just melted in your mouth. I can't wait to go back to this place- they also have a great happy hour special from 12-3 where its half price sushi",
"Best Sushi Lunch on Mailine\n\nAs a sister restaurant to Lanmark Grill we were not sure what to expect. O Toro is a cool Wine bar with both Sushi and non sushi choices. The variety is not huge but there was plenty to choose from. All sushi, sashimi and rolls are half price between 12 and 3 which makes it very affordable. The yellowtail, tuna and salmon sushi were fresh and big, for 2.50 for 2 pieces. The special rolls were Interesting and delicious.\n\nThe servers were attentive, polite and on top of us the entire meal. We will try again for dinner. A must place for a great value sushi meal.",
"Not bad. \n\nSushi Rolls - actually pretty good flavor wise, but they don't touch Blue Fin or Nectar. When a roll falls apart while picking it up, it probably wasn't rolled the best way it could have been.\n\nService - ditzy at best, (I swear it had nothing to do with being blonde, present company excepted) the server spilled at least 1.5 oz of my beer while trying to pour, or a poor excuse for a pour, and all that she could manage to say was \"sorry\". So since my first beer came in at a disappointing 87.5%, I poured the next one myself.\n\nI heard that happy hour specials are decent. http://www.o-toro.com/images/menu-happy%20hour.pdf \n\nNext time I'll try the bar, enough of this sitting at a table crap. And I heard through the grapevine that the bartender may know how to pour a beer without spilling.",
"This was a highly disappointing experience. First, the two bartenders had no idea what they were doing. The one, when asked about a wine (its year-- very simple question) torted, \"I have no idea, I've only been here two days.\" The other bartender proceeded to make my girlfriend's drink, one that looked promising on paper, from the directions sheet. That typically would be better than guessing, but she muddled fruit and left entire hunks of lime and cucumber in the drink-- not cool. \n\nWe were seated a couple minutes after being at the bar. We ordered the sunflower roll, olive tree roll, fish tacos, and truffled mushroom flatbread. Honestly, the fish tacos were good, and the flatbread was okay. Both sushi rolls were mushy, overly sauced messes. This is after the fact that the waitress accidentally brought us the wrong rolls initially and nearly freaked out. \n\nFish tacos were good, flatbread was okay, decor was nice. Everything else was pretty poor."

"I just dined here for the soft opening. It was absolutely exquisite. Prices are extremely reasonable, cocktails tasty and decently strong. It will be a fantastic spot for dinner and lunch. State Street needs more restaurants like this, with five star food at reasonable prices. Can't wait to see this place in full swing. I would highly recommend Any of the smoked chicken dishes, the grilled peaches and prosciutto platter, or the meatball and ricotta pizza with grilled onion....",
"Stumbled onto this State Street gem- great meatballs, great pizza, delicious desserts. Personal greeting & complimentary dessert from co-owner Courtney. Very lovely spot!!",
"Maybe it was a fluke that my experience was not as wonderful or delightful as the other reviewers, and I don't typically write bad reviews for restaurants, but this review is for the owners more than the customers. Let me start at the beginning... buckle up. \nMy bf and I were searching the area for a pizza place our friend had suggested near State and Fig, when we saw Mizza we figured this was the place our friend was talking about. The hostess was offering samples of pizza and gnocchi, neither of which I tried (I don't eat meat), but my bf tried the pizza and when I asked what he thought of it he said, \"I am not sure, it tastes like pizza.\" - This should have tipped us off, but alas it did not. We sat down and a lovely server came to take our order, it was clear he was new to the service industry, but he was nice and very attentive to our needs. I mentioned a friend of ours had recommended the place and he exclaimed, \"That's great! We've only been here for eleven days!\" My bf and I quickly exchanged glances, we knew we had come to the wrong place. After our server left with our orders we acknowledged our mistake, but decided to stay. Who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be really good?! Then again, Murphy's Law has a way of following me around. \nAfter about ten minutes the manager (?) came by with my bf's drink order, Pellegrino, and asked if we were doing alright, we replied that we were fine. A few moments later our server came by and apologized that our order was never pushed through their ordering system. \"No worries\" we replied, we were enjoying the weather, shade, and people watching (and having worked for many years in the restaurant industry, I get that these things happen, nbd). \nOur appetizer, the bruschetta, arrived shortly after the ordering hiccup (This is where I would suggest that management pay attention), unfortunately when it came the crostini consisted of four large triangle shape pieces of very burnt ends. The bruschetta itself would have been better if it had had time to marinate in the oil and balsamic, and if seasoning had been added. Sadly it was like eating unripened tomatoes with a bit of oil drizzled on it and with the burnt ends of toast. \nOkay, so that's not good, but we were hopeful that our main entrées would be better. It took another twenty-ish minutes before we got our main entrées, I can chalk this up to my bf ordering one of their pizzas, which can take longer to cook. However, Instead of bringing our food together, our server brought my salad (Arugula and fingerling potatoes with pine nuts and goat cheese) a few minutes before the pizza came. Again, I will chalk this as a learning curve for the server - bring the food at the same time or at the very least if it is taking a while for the food to come out, ask the patrons if they would be okay having their meals come out staggered (no harm in asking). Both the salad and the pizza were very uninspiring. Little to no seasoning was applied to neither the pizza or salad. The fingerling potatoes were over boiled and the heirloom tomatoes were borderline offensive. When I read heirloom tomatoes I imagined large pieces of plump multi-colored tomatoes, instead there were three or four sliced small grape tomatoes and maybe one or two very small yellow tomatoes (think infant heirloom tomato). \nThe pizza dough/crust was good but that's it. The pizza toppings were much like the other items we tired having little to no flavor, and the pizza sauce tasted like watered down tomato paste and zero seasoning. \nI am being harsh because this place could be amazing! It is in a great location, the vibe is chill, and the servers, hostess, manager are all very nice. However, this review is for the management to greatly consider finding another chef, one who likes to use salt, herbs, pepper, and other culinary tools that could elevate the dishes we tried. Unfortunately, the food we had left nothing to be desired except that I wish we had found the right pizza place our friend had recommended.",
"Courteous staff. Comfortable seating. Full bar. If you are hungry, all pizzas are 12 inch. If you are less hungry, pasta portions are perfect. Creative flair profiles. Who knew adding vodka to spaghetti beef sauce would be so amazing! Tiramisu is my favorite dessert here but there are many options for you. Only drawback: only one bathroom stall for either male or female bathroom. No free wifi.",
"Great vibe! Love sitting on patio and facing State St for people watching. Nice drinks and good Pizza. Will come again for more of a meal. Like the decor and feel a lot!",
"Very flavorful food, nice ambiance, and great service. This was a very lucky find in santa Barbara!",
"Our first visit to this new restaurant in the La Arcada complex located on State Street in SB. Great experience. Wide selection of Italian dishes and other entries plus Pizza. Great appetizers as well. Loved the food and wine choices.\n\nClaire and Missiam (Miss) were extremely helpful and did a wonderful job in serving us. We fully enjoyed and will be back soon.",
"Fantastic experience! The food was amazing and reasonably priced. Joey took great care of our huge group. The side patio scenery really adds to the delicious Italian meal. Can't wait to go again.",
"The food was a 5/10. The Arugula Salad was perfectly seasoned and presented. Their 5-Cheese Pizza needs some work. I love the truffle oil base, however, it is hard to taste when the pie was so under-salted. I would also like to see this pizza done with a red-sauce option; the oil base sauce lacked pizza flavor and reminded me a bit of dominos cheesy bread.\n\nThe service is where they lost me. We ordered a glass of wine, a small pizza, and salad and our total time there was around 2.5 hours. We had to constantly wave at our server to take our order, bring out our food, and check. Our food was cold because it took him so long to deliver it.\n\nPrices are fair. I would like to see an updated and more presentable menu and maybe a salt shaker that works.\n\nThis new Italian restaurant on State Street was a great idea,..other than the fact that there are 10 other Italian Restaurants on the street.",
"Wow! What a find. This place was Yumm!\n\nTried the meatball appetizer and it is a must! The pizza dough was airy. You're gonna love it."

"We go to Goodson's a couple times a season and often take guests. We're never disappointed. \"The Works strawberry shortcake\" is to die for! I had never had a pressed Cuban sandwich before I had one there. Now i LOVE THEM!!! The freshly picked produce is also great but it's the shortcakes and the Cuban sandwichs that bring us back.\n\nThey aren't open on Sundays and they close at 5:00 p.m. But they now take credit cards.\n\nBefore my mother passed away she was in a nearby assisted living facility and they often took buses to Goodson's. It was a favorite destination for them too.",
"I have been coming to Goodson's Farm for years. It is a family tradition and I bring all my out of town guests out to have the delicious Cubans, pulled pork and ofcourse strawberry shortcake. I drive past other farms because they can't compare to Goodsons. I give flats of berries for gifts. The variety of berry they grow is so delicious....every time, every year. Treat yourself and get out there.",
"Great place to get a delicious strawberry shortcake. I got the one with the option of having ice cream on top. Their cake is the best I have ever gotten. If you prefer a cake instead of a bisquit in your strawberry shortcake, this is the place for you. Nice seating outside for you to enjoy a beautiful day in Florida while also enjoying the tasty Florida strawberries they have here.",
"The lunch options are limited, but still pretty good. The desserts are where its at :).... nomnomnom strawberries!!! Staff was friendly too.",
"Strawbs strawbs strawbs. YUM. Strawberry shortcake.....double yum. This is a great place. Only open during strawbs season...Hurry!",
"The place is in front of a strawberry farm so you know the strawberries they sell are fresh! Their strawberry shake is fresh and delicious, the shortcake with strawberries on it are good too. And, they have one of the best Cubans around! That's right, a Cuban in a strawberry farm! It's a really good place to treat the family and friends, especially during the late winter season around January to March, where the cool natural breeze softly blows.",
"Great strawberries desserts and Cuban sandwiches but the place is usually real busy and the line is long.",
"During strawberry season you gotta go and have the giant strawberry shortcake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.....also delicous strawberry shakes....they are only open to the public a few months out of the year during strawberry season ...the place is on a quiet country road and is surrounded by strawberry fields....an awesome place to take the family or your sweetie on a saturday/sunday Florida afternoon!",
"I've been here twice for their strawberries. They are picked fresh from a field on location, and they are delicious! So far, I'll have had are the strawberries and they are unbeatable!\n\nAnd cheap!\n\nUpdate: After several more visits, and visits to other strawberry farms in the Plant City area, Goodson Farms is by far superior to any other strawberries I have ever tried. I don't know what it is, if it's the soil, or what they're doing, but these just taste better, and seem higher quality.",
"What a nice place to find in the middle of nowhere. I came here for the first time on a weekend, which was super busy. The parking lot was full and we waited in like for maybe 15-20 to get our strawberry shortcakes, but they were well worth the wait! \n\nWe got the works which is strawberry shortcake with whipped cream and icing, along with a Cuban sandwich, sausage, and strawberry milkshakes. I had to try their Cuban sandwich because of the Yelp reviews, but I thought the sausage one was better. They have big boxes of strawberries for only $10, what a deal!"

"Chef Bradley has made an amazing menu using all fresh ingredients. Everything from the breakfast french toast, fresh fruit crepes, and Cuban sandwiches are perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. I live in the community and eat here at least once a week.",
"My husband and I had a great lunch here. It was fairly close to the Apollo Beach I-75 exit and was a nice, quiet break for a road trip lunch. I had the spring chicken crepe and the flavor was amazing. I was happy that the fresh ingredients, like the asparagus,was plentiful. My husband had a club sandwich and he was pleased as well. Heads up-this is a cafe in a new housing community-located near the community pool, workout center and trails. Not your normal location, but the food was very tasty!",
"Great place for a quick bite. Had the chicken fajitas and they were great. Staff are very attentive and we were allowed to finish our meal even after the place closed.",
"My favorite local brunch/lunch spot. Amazing menu offerings for the limited space they have to prepare food. Crepes (sweet and savory), quesadillas, a signature Tuscan Cuban sandwich, breakfast sandwiches served all day on fresh baked croissants. A chicken salad sandwich that made me love chicken salad! Oh, did I mention Bananas Foster French Toast?! I haven't found anything yet that wasn't absolutely delicious! Chef Bradley and his team are wonderful!! Best kept secret in Apollo Beach, quietly hidden in a residential community. I have mixed emotions on sharing this little gem. I like that it's quiet and laid back, hidden from the masses, but it's too good not to share!",
"Absolutely love this place! Sometimes it takes a while for the food to come out because they were not set up for high volume, but it's completely worth the wait. Once a month they stay open late and offer amazing flatbreads. I wish there were a few more vegetarian options. This place is just one more perk to living in beautiful Waterset! Also, don't miss out on the desserts they are delicious!",
"I'm so glad to live in this community with an excellent clubhouse with amazing food. The crepes are amazing and the service is restaurant-like. The drinks are great too! Best Cuban sandwich around as well. Too many good things to list, but this place is spot on!",
"Driving through Apollo Beach, we stopped in for a snack. The menu had way more items than we anticipated, for such a small establishment. I ordered a spring chicken crepe and it was delicious but very messy (in a greasy way) but was probably from all the sauces. The cashiers were nice, establishment was clean, and the view was great. I would totally recommend this place to anyone traveling through or living in the area.",
"Stuck in southshore today at the college and wanted some good coffee; didn't think I'd find such a great place for coffee out here in the middle of no where! When you first drive up its a little bit confusing, because it looks like you might have to own a house in this development to eat here.. But you don't. The coffee I had was great, I didn't try the food, but it looked great. The people were super friendly as soon as I walked in. A lady sitting at the bar recommended the raspberry white chocolate coffee, so I went ahead and tried it and it was fantastic. They have an area for kids, and booths where you can sit with your computer, and tons of other cool features here.",
"Their food is definitely not healthy. They load every plate with sauces and stuff that just make a mess of a plate. Goodness gracious, less is more!! I don't even know what I'm eating if the food is so overloaded!!\nNever again will I eat at this place yuck!",
"Friendly staff. Delicious food. Beautiful atmosphere. A great place for lunch! I chose the spring chicken crepe & my fiancé chose the chicken quesadilla. Everything tasted fresh. We really enjoyed it. Can't wait to try their chicken salad next time! The chef gave us a sample and it was delicious! We will definitely be back!"

"This was the first Mexican restaurant I visited after moving to the city. The food is decent, but I was a little surprised that you actually have to pay for chips and salsa (most Mexican restaurants include them) but it is located in a college area, so I guess it makes sense ... even if it sucks. They have great daily, 3-7 happy hours and the Bull Dog is next door, this is a great place to grab dinner and get the party started. The wait staff is friendly and the margaritas are yummy.",
"I give 2.4 stars.\n\nFood is decent, but I've tried quite a number of burritos that were bad. Plus they make you pay for chips and salsa! I say Boo-urns. Maybe it depends on what you order, but on my list of mexican restaurants this one is towards the bottom.",
"As a eating establishment, this place sucks.\n\nThe only decent thing on the menu is the chips and salsa. Yes, you have to pay for them, but its worth it.\n\nThe rest of the food is barely passable as mexican/tex-mex or food at all, really. If you want something good to eat, go down Magazine to Juan's Flying Burrito.\n\nHappy hour is good though.",
"The white queso dip is freakin great. The Cheesy Chimichanga or Great Western Burrito are also very good...other than that its not all that spectacular but if you stick to those three things I think you'll be happy you went. The drinks are average.",
"This was a terrible meal. I kept thinking it was me...it had to be me. But it's not, the food was just...blah. Besides the fact that it's on Magazine and has some outdoor seating, there was not much else I was pleased about.\n\nOur wait staff was slow and super dismissive, even though we were in a huge group that could have racked up some major tips. I felt sorely disappointed when we left.",
"This place is pretty good. I've been a few times and each time I was pleased. The waitstaff always seems awesome and the margaritas were tasty. \n\nMy absolute favorite thing about this place? Their ranch dressing. I'm not even kidding. Order some even if you don't need it for anything because you will probably just want to bathe yourself in it. It's delicious.",
"Pros:\nOutdoor seating\nMakes me appreciate Juans and Superior more\nMakes a good conversation piece when wanting to complain about something\n\nCons: \nFood\nHeartburn causing margaritas\nManagement (long story)\nTheir name\nTheir t-shirts\nTheir attitude\nIt takes up space another resaurant could be using\nPrices\nThe fact they had the audacity to open another one in Metairie\nThat I must walk past it when walking my dog",
"I hope this place burns to the ground. Literally.\nMy first summer in law school I figured I'd take a waitressing job here, after waitressing in SF and making a small fortune doing so. not only is the minimum wage with waitressing in nola $2 (vs. $9 something/hr in SF plus tips obviously, but i digress), but this place is run by incompetents. I'd always heard the food here sucked ass, but never tried it myself, and it was nearby, so in my random application process, i ended up here. The co-owner (wife) seemed nice, and when the barely literate 'manager' called me to come in to 'go over the menu' a couple nights later i was excited to begin working...I came in and they were shocked that i hadnt come in that am (apparently the imbecile who told me to come in that afternoon to 'look over the menu' meant to tell me to come in in the MORNING to TRAIN. as in not look over the freaking menu, but to actually begin working. either way, wouldnt typical protocol be to call me that morning when i didnt show?? having put this event in my phone, and being a responsible law school student, it seems fairly obvious to me that the 'management' is inept.). a couple days later, i was terminated for my failure to come in that am, to which i responded with a lengthly letter to the owner, that it was their managers fault, as she told me to come in that 'afternoon to look over the menu.' As i'm responsible, i brought waitress style clothing just to be safe, although i dont believe that would be implied when told to 'come in to look over the menu'. \nAs i'm rambling now with rage 1.5 yrs later at the absolute idiocy that this place embodies, i'll discuss other details of the restaurant. As my friends had previously said, the food here is awful. bland bland bland. my boyfriend liked the margaritas as theyre fairly cheap, and we all repeatedly would get heartburn from the shitty jose. to top it all off, i have heard (and experienced nothing else myself), that the service is BEYOND poor. the staff is comprised of artsy assholes, who dont give a flying rats ass if you have any food/water/have ordered/have died at the table from food poisoning. literally, you will bus your own table and if you ever see a refill of water or anything else you are beyond lucky. everyone i know in nola has had nothing but negative experiences here, and after the first termination of my LIFE, due to someone elses incompetence, i have refused (as have all my friends) to ever set foot in this shit establishment again. if you like wasting money on bland food and god awful service then feel free, as the 'owner' informed me in response to my letter addressing my inappropriate termination, they were 'overhauling' the management. Strangely years later, i have still yet to hear anything good about nacho mamas.",
"I wish I could give this place 2.5 stars, but 3 will do. It's a great place to go to when you want to sit outside with your girlfriends eating chips and salsa and drinking, but aside from the chips and salsa (and the queso which is also amazing), the other food items on the menu are terrible. it's definitely no superior grill.\n\nLike most places on Magazine St, it's pretty dog friendly so you can sit outside with your dog. \n\nThe downside is the waitstaff sucks. They act like you should be kissing their butts in order for them to do their job. And if you DARE ask any of them something simple like \"can I please place a food order?\" after waiting over 20 minutes for them to come see you, they'll just refuse to come back. The worst staff aside from Reginelli's. \n\nBut if you sit at the bar or just order drinks & chips, it's fine. In fact it's really one of my favorite places to drink on Magazine St. Too bad it closes so early compared to real bars.",
"My mom and I stopped in on our last night of Mardi Gras for a drink and some chips and salsa. I can't speak to the other bad experiences referenced here, but for what we were after, we really enjoyed this spot. The chips come with a \"you pick three\" choice of dips - we went for pico de gallo, white queso and guacamole. \n\nI thought all three were good. My margaritas were quite nice and she had beer so it's hard to screw that up. \n\nI love Magazine Street and maybe that makes me like the places there more, I don't know. It was a nice alternative to the too-crowded-for-me Bulldog next door."

"Located in a slightly out of the way strip mall, this local bar serves the most amazing pizza I have ever eaten! I had a custom pizza with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, garlic and some really good garlicky sausage. My buddy had the cheese pizza which was equally good. The salad we ordered was crisp and fresh and not iceberg, served in a huge bowl with homemade ranch dressing that was delish. Another standout at our table were the corn fritters--brought steaming hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar and amazingly addictive. What an appetizer! The service was great and food came out fast considering how busy it was the night we were there. The beer was really cold, which made me happy! There were a bunch of large screen TVs which made watching the Colts game easy from any angle. Worth looking for!",
"Great beer selection, but no taps. I had homemade empanadas. I've only had them homemade (and we bake them)...but they were fried...and soooo good! The bartender gave me a guarantee on my beer...which was outstanding. A little loud (sports bars are not my thing) but friendly and very welcoming. I hope they continue to grow...and get taps. I'm def going back to try the pizza.",
"Great pizza and wings! And a large beer selection. A good bar with quality food, glad I stopped in! Nice find",
"Great pizza - service was pretty slow but nice people and overall a good place to eat and watch a game if you don't want to be elbow to elbow.",
"I'm not writing this from the floor of my bathroom, so there's that. \n\nI admire their desire to be a \"gastropub\" in a city that has some amazing culinary & cocktail talent. They should be honest and own what they are: a bar with a pretty ordinary-looking menu. \n\nA dozen of us came in for a friend's birthday dinner. Besides 2 guys bellied up to the bar, we were the only ones in the place on a Saturday night. We were told we couldn't move tables (in case it got busy?) so we all squeezed around one. \n\nWe were given 3 menus (including the out-of-date beer list)... that was all the copies they had, so we made do.\n\n\"Fresh, homemade tortilla chips\" used in the chips & queso and the nachos were straight from a bag. Nothing wrong with that - at least they weren't stale - but wish the writers of the menu weren't into fiction. \n\nThe birthday girl ordered a deep dish pizza. I ordered a burger. Others got the buffalo chicken sandwich, the 100-year-old-recipe empanada and calzone. The calzone was good. The empanadas would probably embarrass great-grandma. The chicken left our friend in tears (but we can chalk that up to his level of manliness). \n\nThe nacho appetizer, I should mention, was the last thing to arrive at the table - after all of the meals were served. \"I wasn't sure if you wanted them early, so I left them in the kitchen until your dinners were ready\", the waitress said. Yeah, I'm pretty sure we couldn't have answered that question for her.\n\nMy burger looked great - crisp lettuce and a fresh tomato slice on top of a .... raw burger. It had spent some time near the grill. It might have even touched the grill and declared 'I'll have none of that!' I just wish my eyes had realized before my mouth. \n\nA slice of deep dish came my way so I wouldn't gnaw on the arm of a fellow celebrant. I was warned that it was a little cold. I took that to mean that it had been sitting in the kitchen for a bit while the cook tried to talk my burger into going near the grill. Nope. It was cold cold in the middle. I can only wonder if the dough had come straight from the freezer, had some toppings added and made a pass through the oven. \n\nApparently the food here has an unnatural fear of anything hot in the kitchen.",
"Came here with 3 friends on a Thursday night. People were at the bar but the rest of the place was empty. A super friendly waitress patiently waited while we chose from the long long menu of beers they had available. We ended up ordering one of their deep dish pizzas, that was really decent. My friend ordered a calzone that looked delicious! All in all I loved the laid back feel and enjoyed watching the Pacers game (they have a lot of TVs, great music too).",
"I am a pizza fiend, and this place blew my socks off. This place may seem like its closed from the outside, but service is great, pool is free and the deep dish with sausage, pepperoni, and mushrooms will be my new base of judgment for pizza from here on out.",
"It was just really average. It's a bar, not a gastro pub. The pizza was good, not great but good. I have no problem with this place as a bar, just don't go expecting much atmosphere snd I wouldn't recommend it for dinner.",
"I like this place. It's a plain oil' neighborhood bar, not particularly fancy but not a dive bar, either. I've been twice recently, both times the place wasn't busy at all and the clientele seemed to be regulars. Very friendly & chatty regulars. The bartenders have also been extremely nice which I really dig about a bar. This place has a really good craft beer list and the prices are incredibly reasonable. They also make a terrific pizza. Like, a really \nkick-ass pizza. I heard a lot of good things about the other items on the menu, too. \nAgain, I really like this place and if I lived on the northside I could definitely see myself visiting this place quite often. \nI'll be returning. Hopefully soon.",
"Very few changes from buckets aside from darker lighting. Bartenders are not great, friendly enough but lack personality and struggled to make the one drink he was asked. It's usually empty. Cannot see how these place stays open unless owner has deep pockets and is looking for a tax break. Was mostly happy with buckets and was hoping stout house would be better. good pizza."

"If you want NYC style bages (which are hard to come by in Philadelphia), and in particular kosher bagels, you need to come here. Yes, if you live in Center City, this takes a few more minutes than going to Le Bus or Metropolitan, but the bagels are authentic. They are open very early, so you can make a run to get your carbs for breakfast or Sunday brunch.\n\nThe bagels are always fresh, and thay have other kosher baked goods. They also have great spreads, lox, whitefish salad, and that sort of stuff.\n\nThere is no place to sit, but come and get your fantastic bagels and then make your own brunch / party somewhere else.\n\nYou can find this place in a strip mall on Haverford Ave just on the Philly side of City Ave (if you are going West on Haverford, it is on your right before the McDonalds). Just don't come late on Friday afternoon or on Saturday when they are closed.",
"Made the trip from Fishtown to the Main Line on Sunday after craving a good bagel and reading about this place on Phoodie. It's SO worth the trip.\n\nIt was around 2 in the afternoon when we found this place in a small strip mall off of City Line Ave. The interior is plain and unremarkable -- not covered in advertising, a small case with cream cheeses and lox and whitefish salad, and a fridge with bottled drinks. We got two everything bagels toasted with cream cheese to go, and six bagels to save/freeze for later. As we talked to the man who was waiting on us (who seemed like he might have been the owner), he began filling our bag with more bagels, on the house. When my boyfriend asked if the pumpernickel bread was made in-house too, the man toss a loaf in our bag. We wound up walking out of the place with two overly full bags of bagels and bread, and a new friend. And the bagels themselves were everything I was hoping for -- chewy outside, airy inside. Not overly dense or bready. No rye seeds on the everythings (a pet peeve). \n\nI will absolutely be back. Well worth the trip on a Sunday morning (as the other reviewers said, keep in mind they're closed on Saturdays).",
"Best bagels I've ever had! Before I lived on the east coast I couldn't understand why New York transplants were always complaining that they couldn't find good bagels. But if all bagels in NYC are as good as this guys bagels then I completely understand! I crave his bagels all day and end up having them for dinner some days. We buy bags full and freeze them because we live in Center City and can't drive out there every day. If we ever move away, I will be that annoying person complaining that I can't find good bagels because New York Bagel Bakery has spoiled me for life!",
"The bagels are great. Don't go out of your way for them though. Wait until you're in the area for something else. Closed Saturday which is when I usually get a craving. :p",
"i consider bagels part of my holy trinity, along with cream cheese and coffee. there is barely a better way to start your day in my book. i grew up in a place that did not have bagels, so my first bagel ever was when i was 14 and i went to new york city for a trip with my dad. we stayed in a crazy apartment with a bona fide cat lady that rented rooms, because my father is very cheap. the only good thing about this situation was the glorious bagels and cream cheese this woman provided for breakfast each morning. these delicious rings of heaven blew my mind, i could not get enough. i had never eaten something so simple yet perfect. \n\nnow those bagels hold a place in my heart and have clearly gotten better in memory, but new york bagel bakery in haverford does a pretty good job of producing bagels that get close to those mystical bagels of my youth, and other great bagels that are pretty standard in new york city. they have a great crust, and a very chewy center with that sourdough type bite. i usually use a toaster to elevate lesser bagels, but with these, i don't think toasting is necessary. which in my mind speaks volume about the quality.\n\ni highly recommend this place, though the location bites for those of us that live in center city. in my mind it is well worth the trip out. i only give 4 stars because i don't think they are quite as good as the bagels in new york city, but are far and away the best in philly. the owner is really friendly and is clearly beloved by his locals. for those who are concerned with kosher, they had some postings about a recent change in their status. i am ignorant to the certification process for this so i did not understand what the changes were, but if it is important to you, you might want to give them a jingle to find out before rolling out there.",
"These are the best bagels I have found in Philly so far. (Also, I use the phrase \"in Philly\" very lightly. The borders of this city are far too generous.) \n\nThey aren't as good as ones I've had in NYC, but this is about as good as we're going to get here. Personally, I like them to be slightly chewier. I'm with Chris H. in terms of toasting- good bagels don't need anything other than a schmear and the ones here are very good.\n\nThey are closed on Saturday, so Sundays get a little nuts in this small shop.",
"Bagels here are perfectly chewy and crispy, but a little too big and puffy for my tastes. I think I prefer Philadelphia Bagel Factory overall, but these are special too. Way better than Hot Bagels off South Street. \nAs for authenticity, bagels in New York vary, with some tating like these bagels, others being closer to my own bagel ideal. \nPS - My navigation system thought this was two blocks south of where it really was - it's in the same shopping center as the delicatessan.",
"These are the best bagels we've tried so far in the area. Granted, the only other ones we've tried were from Delancey Street, Manhattan, and various grocery stores.\n\nNew York Bagel Bakery's bagels are neither tough nor bready, but perfectly chewy, with a nice taste. They were out of several flavors when we were there, but I'd rather have a plain bagel from here than a super-everything bagel from a lesser shop.",
"Simply put, no one in the area makes a better bagel. (I'm open to suggestions of other places to try.)\n\nThe onion bagel could do with more onion. The bialies, well, let's just say they're not the real thing but are good unto themselves.\n\nGo for the everythings. And, ask about the whole grain evrythings. You just might luck out.",
"These are easily the best bagels I have ever had. I got there on Sunday around 11:00 AM and the place was relatively crowded (not to mention claustrophobic; the store is kind of small). Unlike Delancey, their bagels were warm, fresh, and just crispy enough to eat without toasting. Even when taken from the fridge, it only takes 30 seconds (in a 1986 microwave) for it to soften up.\n\nThe only problem I have with this place is that it's closed on Saturday and packed on a Sunday, so people might have to go early on a weekday to get bagels there."

"As I add this Ott's location to Yelp, I am struggling with how to categorize it. It's obviously a bar, but what kind of bar? It's not exactly a dive, though I didn't find the establishment (particularly the bathrooms) to be all that clean. I wouldn't consider it a sports bar, though there are TVs everywhere, a pool table and a shuffleboard table. I also wouldn't say it's a pub. The menu isn't comforting or inventive or Irish-inspired.\n\nSeems like Ott's Green Top Inn is having an identity crisis. Why is it even called an Inn? There doesn't appear to be any lodging available...\n\nStill, I suppose the service was quick enough. The patrons give off the vibe of local regulars (townies?) who go there for a relaxed place to drink and socialize. If that's all you're looking for, then I guess it doesn't matter what you call the place.",
"\"Hey look, mister - we serve hard drinks in here for men who want to get drunk fast, and we don't need any characters around to give the joint \"atmosphere\". \"\n\nI think Jessica is missing the point in trying to categorize Ott's Green Top Inn: its just a bar. Although of the four Ott's in South Jersey, this is probably the runt of the litter. And you know what, that's just fine. Because sometimes you just want to sit at a bar and drink; maybe watch TV, listen to regulars and watch shuffleboard. \n\nAs for the \"inn\", that denotes hospitality; at Ott's the bartenders are always attentive, the food is served hot, and there are always a few characters that give the place atmosphere.",
"Ott's is the reason they invented the saying \"It is what it is.\" Seriously, what you see is what you get. Not a great beer selection, but they've got beer. Food is there but it's nothing to write home about. People are hanging out, just chillin'. Bartenders who won't let you address them with \"sir\" or \"miss.\" Just say \"hey.\"\n\nIt's been a solid choice for getting out of the house when the electricity bailed out a few times this summer. Or a few years back when my sister turned 21 on a Tuesday. Or when my friend's wedding ended early and we needed to continue the binge.\n\nQuizzo Wednesdays always promise a good time as do the Megatouch tuneskeeper and gaming devices. \n\nThe new outdoor patio and bar is almost a bit too classy for the raggedy indoors, but I'm not complaining.\n\nThis is definitely our neighborhood spot.",
"The Ott's in Delran is my standby, but this one does the trick if I'm down in that neck of the woods (awesome farmer's markets!)\nThe burger was okay, the bartender was sweet and quick to get us more beers. I understand there's an outside area but it was too cold for us to be out there...inside is very dark and dreary so that made me sad :(",
"Dive bar but one that knows it's just a dive bar. Ott's is definitely not trying to be anything it isn't. \n\nWhat you get? Expect a \"diverse\" crowd-bikers, college kids, girls that are dressed up for no reason. Cheap drinks. Cheap food.",
"The new otts gets an a for atmosphere but food needs work. I was served cold chicken wings and my friends taco salad was not very good piled with too large lettuce peices and no other ingrdients. Also no more shuffleboard or pool table. I believe that will deter some people from going there that are used to that in the old otts",
"LIKES: nice big wrap around bar..lower drop ceiling painted black...they resisted making common mistake of painting exposed hvac and leaving it natural metal. DISLIKES: the area with the cathedral ceiling is FAR too bright...the space behind the bar is too big ...its actually distracting how much space there is because the bartenders pace around and bang into each other like a bunch of wind up toys....we ordered food and were not impressed at all...especially since it and we were cold....I was expecting much more since they had an opportunity to get it right.....but its early and they just re opened....I liked the newly remodeled outside and inside....just needs tweekin",
"Aaaaaah, Otts!.....miss the old Otts, it had character and it was fun to write on the bathroom walls, it is asthetically pleasing inside now albeit way more loud now with that high ceiling and wish that pool table was not in there.\n\nThe food prices went up but for bar food it's better than most, their burgers are great and they have good specials daily.\n\nNow the fun part, the staff!....Julie and Michelle are fantastic, personable and both work hard, id rather go there during the day to see them since they are the most pleasant to talk to as for two of their other female coworkers who tend bar leave a little to be desired, the first one is very beautiful but she is downright rude and not nice to talk to unless you are a young kid she went to high school with who are always in there acting like total tools then it's ok but she tends to forget about the other paying customers who want service, I'm not there to get a date with her, I'm there to get food and some beers and stagger to my truck and the other one is pretty ignorant as well, I think her name is Jamie? she only tends to her regulars and again thinks everybody wants to date her and loses focus of her other customers who want good service as well, I try to stay away if those 2 are working.\n\nTrivia night is cool but hard to hear the guy reading the questions because the acoustics suck in there now and finally, beer pong night needs to go,I'm tired of tools wearing tap out and affliction clothes and acting tough when most of them only watch the sport they support, it's a great bar but there is a real young crowd it seems and I don't prefer that scene much anymore.So if you want good bar food, reasonably priced drinks, nice Tv's and some female eye candy and mostly nice staff like Ray, Julie, and Michelle and Kelly then head in there but the other female staff leaves a little to be desired, the manager, I forget his name but he's tall and stocky is very polite also.",
"My elderly parents were craving a good burger. My husband & I were looking for a casual, local place where we could bring our teenage kids for dinner, and still have a nice Sam Adams seasonal.\n\nI was shocked when I walked in, as it had been about 5 years since I'd been here. It has been completely remodeled. Gone are the dark walls, hardwood floors, bar neons, etc. What I felt gave it character, made it friendly & comfortable. The place is marble & bright tangerine walls, fancy light fixtures & tile. Not exactly my cup of tea, I'm more a neighborhood tavern kinda girl, but I remembered they had very good bar food. Apparently that changed too. I don't really want to get into the dirty details, because I'd end up sounding nit picky, but they ended up taking $15 off our bill for inedible soup & mussels. The rest of our food was \"just okay\", not great but not awful. Service was horrendous, actually had to go up to the bar to complain, which is not something I ever do. \n\nDo yourself a favor & scratch this one off your list. I will never go there again.",
"I loved this place when it was a dive bar. It took them a really long time to fix it after the fire. I have no idea why. I went in tonight for the first time in a very long time and the place was just not the same. \n\nI miss the old wooden seats bar etc. we sat in the enclosed area on the porch. It was freezing and not enough heat. I slept with my jacket on and was still cold. \n\nThe menu is changed and they need to find the chef and food they had before the fire. I went with the idea of having a roast pork sandwich which I always liked there. It was taken off the menu.\n\nThey have all these wraps now and melts. Salads etc. give me old fashioned bar food.\n\nThey did not even have a good roast beef sandwich.\n\nI ordered French onion soup which was not very good. My friend ordered the gumbo soup special and it came out cold. I mean cold. Not warm.\n\nI ended up ordering a French dip was mediocre at best. They gave a half cup of au jus. The sandwich was small and not even full with meat to the end. The fries were not bad. The pickle was the best thing. And of course the Corona.\n\nI guess the remodeling was more than they expected or did not get enough insurance money. Not going back soon."

"So great to have this truck in Tampa. I had the large rainbow bowl and it was awesome. Fresh fruit, great acai. All around a great product. I'll be back!",
"Delicious, fresh, fun, and amazing. Such good food for a great price. Cannot wait to come back!",
"Why 5 stars? Because there are oh-so many choices!\n\n --- --- ---\n\nMaybe I'm wrong about this, but Rico's Acai seems to be the only place I've visited where acai bowls are fully customizable. You can build your own bowl from scratch, or simply substitute an ingredient, as I did with blueberries for blackberries on the Buccaneer Bowl. \n\nSpeaking of my buccaneer bowl, I loved it. I also ended up finishing off my fiance's bowl that she custom-made. We both agreed that Nutella was a phenomenal option to add to an acai bowl, but we wished there was about 50% less, because it was a bit overpowering. Next time, I'll definitely be asking for Nutella-lite, but it was still awesome. I don't think I've seen that as an option at any other place that does acai bowls.\n\nMy only critique is that I do agree with Mark P that the consistency of the acai makes it appear as if it were frozen. I'm sure if I were on the other end of the truck, I'd find it to be very difficult to avoid having to freeze the acai, but as the customer, I'd prefer to not being able to tell that it was frozen. \n\nWith that being said, it was still delicious, and I fully plan on returning!",
"Very tasty! Also gluten free (the granola is gluten free)! Lots of options and very healthy.",
"Delicious! Freshly chopped fruit, crunchy granola and fluffy Acai...love it. The fruit is finely chopped and granola layered perfectly. One of the best bowls I've had. Go and enjoy.",
"Worst acai i have ever had in my life !!!!!! Obsessed with acai and I know what a good acai tastes like. Waste of money.",
"Delicious! Randomly walked by this cute food truck downtown after a meeting and tried out their rainbow bowl. The fruit was so fresh! I added coconut oil drizzle. Now I'm craving Rico's 24-7.",
"I have walked by Rico's Acai food truck a few times during my Saturday strolls through downtown but I never considered stopping by until today! After reading some reviews and viewing photos on Rico's Acai Instagram account, I decided to fulfill my fruit craving today by giving this truck a shot - and boy am I glad I did! \n\nI ordered a small Rainbow Bowl which contained the standard bowl base of Acai, granola and bananas, and was also topped with super fresh and delicious kiwi, strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, and a couple of raspberries. This bowl was so palate-pleasing that I immediately wished I had ordered a large. I ended up returning to the truck a few minutes later to purchase another small Rainbow Bowl for my mom, who I knew would appreciate some of this acai bowl goodness - and of course, she did! \n\nI have to agree with the other reviews about the price of one bowl being a little steep, but Acai is considered a \"super food\" after all. Maybe the owners will compromise on the price by offering a frequent visitor card (since I am sure I will be back in the future). :) Keep up the good work Rico and company!",
"Absolutely amazing! I got the berry bowl and asked them to add Nutella and peanut butter. It was so good! Super fresh. Can't wait to go back! I only wish they were in st Pete.",
"Driving past this food truck almost daily. I finally made the u turn to park and grab one of these Acai bowls. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. How does a business run on a fruit bowl I wondered. Then I ordered my first bowl... the butter bowl. Had them go lite with the almond butter, Nutella, peanut butter. Because I love fruit and I didn't want a full blown dessert. Then with my first spoon I was delighted. The acai was fluffy and frozen; the granola was light and crispy. Fresh fruit assorted. All the flavors where amazing together. Loved my first experience and will be back again to try some of the other customizable treats"

"An Incredibly New and Fresh Style of Mexican Food, than I am normally use too. I Loved It. The Shredded Beef just melts in your mouth and the sight of all the different Seafood dishes being delivered to tables was fascinating to see such beautiful dishes. The beans, wow the beans.\n\nThe location was creatively put together with lots of color and art on the walls, with a bar to boot! The staff was kind and the service was excellent. I have been to this locations many, many time in the past when it was different restaurant. I felt completely in a new and creative place and beautiful food and smiling people.\n\nLoved your menu and all the pics for my choices.\nBreakfast Too!\nStevenOchoa3",
"First time coming to this location and I was very disappointed to find out they don't have a salsa bar and the salsa they are supposed to have for the chips was being made because they ran out. I preferred the location on 22nd.",
"Best food on this side of Tucson!\n\nNot your typical Tucson Mexican food. They have some awesome dishes that I've never even heard of. Everything we've tried has been phenomenal. Pretty good crowd on a Friday night but we still got seated easily.\n\nDefinitely worth a try.",
"My son and I decided to go eat at Taco Giro...we've gone to the one Grande which I have always had a great experience... This time we went to the new one on Valencia... We were greeted n seated right away...I ordered the Mixed Fajitas which have the Carne asada, chicken, and shrimp... it came with rice n beans and a little bit guacamole.. 2 tortillas... the fajitas didn't have enough seasoning, but once I added salt it was good...the rice n beans were good... one disappointing thing eas that they didnt have the salsa bar...but we will definitely give it another try...",
"The price and portions were grand. The price is more than reasonable and the amount could feed two when you order one of the combo plates. The taste is great. The only hard part was not all the servers spoke English. We will eat there again for sure.",
"Can't post a picture of the food since we were never attended to.. we sat for 15 minutes waiting and nothing.. we told one of the ladies working there that our server had not came by and told us to hold on. Yeah no thanks.. as we were leaving i let the manager know that we were never attended to and just said sorry..",
"Always hot, always fresh. Great prices for what you get. They do have specials posted usually.\n\nTo start they bring salsa, chips, and a hot bean dip. Nothing spectacular but it's yummy for sure and free. I am a big fan of this place because it's close by, they have delicious ceviche and mariscos, and the beans and rice are incredible on any dish. They make a mean michelada too!\n\nThe service can be a bit off sometimes, most of the servers don't speak English very well, which is to be expected on south side Tucson at a Mexican restaurant.",
"Horrible service! Took foooooorever to get our food. Waitress didn't know about beers on tap nor how steak was served. There was 5/6 different employees just standing around hanging out and none noticed the empty cups at the end of the table. It's a shame because the food it's self was decent.",
"Excellent service and the food was so good, the place was really clean and the prices are good too, they make really good Micheladas, I was really pleased with this place.",
"Love this place. I think it used to be a Chinese joint... Anyway, very nice decor with painted murals and art of cacti harvesting. The staff is attentive and the food is great. I had the margarita special for $4 and was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The seafood is extremely good and very well priced. The servings are very large so come with an appetite!"

"I love knowing that this restaurant is so close to where I live. I thought I would never be able to eat Tortas like yours except when I work. There's so much flavor in your burritos that I even get my family members to completely shift their opinions on what they originally thought was \"good Spanish food\". I plan on exploring your whole menu.",
"Very happy with the quality of the food here, and, they deliver! I ordered the chicken fajitas. Delivery was prompt, food arrived at a good temperature, and the taste was fantastic! Well seasoned chicken, delicious grilled vegetables, and fantastic beans! The pico de gallo was freshly made and very very good, as were the chips that accompanied. I asked if they had guacamole, and they apologized because the avocados weren't ripe yet! I placed another order today and am looking forwards to some delicious fresh guacamole :) having a delivery place for authentic Mexican food around the corner from me is definitely going to be a blessing and a curse :p",
"The food was awesomely delicious! It came out in a timely manner as well as taste juicy and seasoned well. I ordered the Caesar wrap with fries and I loved it. My husband ordered a burrito which he said was good and very filling. So he only ate 1 half of it and than I ate the other half which OOO my goodness!! I will definitely be going back and trying other things. I recommend this place with flying stars!",
"This review is based solely off of the Mexican side of the menu. My first visit was about a month ago with a friend and since then, I've been back once and had delivery once too! It is delicious Mexican food at reasonable prices. The staff are extremely pleasant and nice, and love to talk to their customers which is an extra plus! The owners are a married couple from Puebla Mexico and they do everything themselves. It has been open for about 3 months and I would love to see this place last years--there aren't many good Mexican places around the area so I will be keeping my fingers crossed and spreading the word about Guilli's. My first visit I had Mexican food and it was so delicious that I haven't been able to venture towards the Italian side of the menu just yet!! Their chips and homemade sauces are to die for and I highly recommend the chicken burrito. My last visit was topped off with a large cup of homemade horchatta which was amazing. This place will definitely not let you down!",
"Was having a craving for Mexican so thanks to Yelp, I decided to try this place. I had to find the place, the map plus GPS made it easy. The restaurant is located in the right corner of the shopping center.\n\nI ordered Chicken enchiladas with green sauce to go. It came with Spanish rice and refried beans. The enchiladas came topped with cheese, sauce and sour cream. Everything was fresh tasting and not to hot. \n\nI'll definitely will be back to try other things on the menu.\n\nOne thing of note, your order needs to be over $10 before you can pay with plastic (credit or debit).",
"Didn't really know what to expect, but it was actually pretty tasty. The guacamole was good and so were the nachos.",
"Had a taste for Mexican food but did not want to drive far. This place is not elegant or fancy, but the food was amazingly fresh and delicious. The husband and wife team owners are friendly and attentive and made our dinner a pleasant experience. Their children were there and the daughter had a minor tantrum but that just made the \"home\" cooked meal even more authentic! Would definitely go back!",
"Awesome food definitely authentic Mexican food chicken tacos are amazing! This is probably one of Willingboro's best kept secrets",
"One of my favorite places to get food from. Delivery is always prompt. And the food is excellent whether it be mexican or Italian. Highly recommended!",
"Had pizza and a burrito and both were phenomenal. Really glad there's finally a Mexican food spot in Willingboro"

"I know its Olive Garden, its not some fancy Italian restaurant, but I still love this place. the food is always good and consistent, never had a bad lunch here. \nwe stop in for work every now and then for the classic \"Soup, Salad and Bread sticks\", and I can't get enough of the potato and sausage soup, excellent. \nSure there are fancier places that are more authentic, but it doesn't mean the food here isn't good. \nThis is my \"fast food\" Italian choice any day of the week.",
"What can I say!! I love Italian and this place is excellent, I had a great experience on my visit. the staff was great, they were very informative as to how long the wait was going to be, I did mind. The waitress was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, her suggestion for the soup perfect. she came back several times to make sure we (my date and me) were doing ok, the food was excellent. a definite plus on my list of great places to eat.",
"I've had better service. Not sure what happened to our server but he wasn't there much at all. \n\nWe were sat next to a group of people that were so loud and giggly and the parents who were sitting there were just as bad if not worse than their children. \n\nThe food was okay nothing stand out ish. \nI haven't been impressed with Olive Garden for years.",
"For a Chain restaurant, this Olive Garden sure feels Local to me. My family and I had the best Customer Service experience here last week. Kat (Manager) and Maria (server) really made us happy.\n\nFrom fast service to excellent food, everything was FANSTASTIC!",
"Olive Garden is always a nice dinner place!",
"I'm a fan of Olive Garden & I love the one at this location! Everyone is always so friendly & the service is superfast :)..they might miss me though cause I've been getting their secret recipes online.. ;-)",
"Ask for \"Grant\" as a Server! Service is always top notch. I eat here a lot, and now I work here. Everyone is friendly and the kitchen ensures top quality, hot food. I wouldn't eat here so much if I was lying.",
"My husband and I went for a late dinner & coffee (he loves their coffee) on a Friday night. We sat at the bar, as one gets the best service there. Not this time! He ordered the endless pasta bowl & I soup and salad. Terra (the bartender) brought me the wrong soup, never came to ask us how everything was, was MIA when we ordered our second helping, did not refill water, and was complaining about how tired she was. The other bartender either heard me mention to my husband that she was taking a long time and offered to bring me my second bowl of soup. Terra came out about 3 minutes after my soup was brought and did not seem pleased that someone else had done her job. My husband jokingly said to her \"well now you won't have to bring her another bowl\", she did not leave it and took it back to the kitchen. She still did not ask how everything was and did not refill my husband's water. Later she did ask my husband if he wanted another bowl of pasta, but did not ask me. She brought our check without asking if we wanted dessert, which we did!",
"I needed to order a meal that was quick and healthy for my son. He was participating in a wrestling tournament nearby and I wanted to get him something that wasn't fast food. I called in my order at 3:30. The person who took my order said it would be ready in 15 to 20 minutes. I really liked that they have parking spots for \"to go\" orders because the place was packed. I got a spot up front and proceeded inside to pay. I was a little early so I knew it would be a few minutes before my order was ready. I passed the time on my iPhone and watching the servers who were to be waiting on customers gab by the To Go counter. There must have been at least 8 of them just chatting away. I wondered how the service was since it appeared that most of the staff was just hanging out. By this time, I started wondering where my food was so I went up to check. I was brushed off by one of the workers with a quick \"it's almost ready\" response. I looked at the guy next to me and made a comment about how it appears they are a bit behind. At this point 30 min have passed. Then they tried giving me his order which was 2 huge bags of food. I ordered a chicken dish and a salad. I knew that wasn't my order. Apparently, I wasn't the only one getting a little irritated at how slow they were. He had been waiting over an hour for his food. Finally, after 40 min, I was on my way out with my food. (And no silverware). I called to let the manager know that they needed more help and that their estimated time was way off but sat on hold for 10 minutes and was transferred to 3 other people by the time I actually reached a manager. Next time, I'll hit up Subway.",
"This was my first time ordering To Go at Olive Garden, and first time ever at this location. Despite the mixed reviews for this location, I had a wonderful experience. The food was all fresh, the portions generous, and hadn't been sitting around under a heat lamp. Though the place was slammed, the service was nonetheless excellent. There was a bit of a wait while they finished up my order, and the server apologize profusely and gave me two coupons for my next visit. Great first impression, guys!"

"It's ok for being marooned in a hotel without any other means of transportation.\n\nThe wait staff is great, solicitious and effective. \n\nThe food however was Meh. I had the Blue Crab bisque. It was a spoonful of butter. It tasted ok but there was very little of the star ingredient to be found. The crab meat was so pureed that it was barely noticeable.\n\nThe bread was warm and the pesto dipping sauce was a nice touch albeit a bit too much of balsamic vinegar for me.\n\nI had the Wasabi-crusted tuna which was not very flavorful and definitely overdone. It was dry and boring.\n\nI have had their breakfast as well. Breakfast buffet was the standard hotel buffet breakfast fare. Nothing special but it has something for everyone from eggs to oatmeal. So it works in a pinch.",
"Good bar for happy hour in the Feathersound area! They have a nice mix of bar nuts. There is a pool table that's free, and it's a nice one. The appetizers are pretty good, Wish they had more than 4 beers on tap, but at least there is Stella. Never eaten a real meal here, only go for happy hour.",
"Always start with something positive right? Well, the beer came in a wonderfully frosted glass. Important after an evening run in muggy 85 degree weather.\n\nUnfortunately the Cesar salad was weak. Thin dressing on lettuce traced with faintly brown edges...try again guys.\n\nAngel hair pasta with portobello mushroom is also weak on flavor although the presentation is a bit more pleasing...but just a bit.\n\nOverall a poor showing. Go to the nearby sports bar for dinner if staying in this hotel.",
"This review is for breakfast only (the only meal I ate at this hotel).\n\nI had breakfast here with three colleagues. This seemed to be the place to have a breakfast meeting, as almost everyone seemed to be meeting someone. We had just spent the night before and were checking out after breakfast, so the host was kind enough to watch our luggage while we sat down for an hour or so. We were quickly shown to a table and left to a waitress.\n\nOur waitress was friendly. She got coffee & water while we perused the menu. There is a nice breakfast buffet, but we all ate off the menu. I ended up with the \"make your own omelette\" option. Full of ham, yellow & green peppers and cheddar, it seemed to be larger than the 3 eggs promised and it was very good. The home fries were better than average, with green & yellow peppers throughout. And the toast portion was about double the standard size. Hurrah! Everyone else's food come out correctly...just a short wait for the toast, raisins for someone's oatmeal & ketchup after they dropped off the hot plates. It was nice to be able to work & eat without being bothered every five minutes...they will definitely let you carry on your business without bother. Only issue with that is that sometimes it can be a little difficult to get a check as quickly as you'd like, but I think it's a small price to pay. Once someone at our table grabbed the waitress at the stand, she was very quick in delivering the check to us.\n\nI'd definitely have breakfast here again on a future visit. It's one of the best hotel breakfasts that I've had in a long time, plus the ability to work and eat without being bothered incessantly is a huge perk.",
"Service was pretty poor. A definite language issue, and that is only part of it. \nOrdered a Dark Star beer. Was on tap and not one I had heard of. Asked the waitress where it was brewed. She said she came from Romania. When I finally got my question thru to her, she said she didn't know but would check. When she came back she said the bar tender didn't know either. Unbelievable, I had looked it up on my phone in the mean time. A decent beer.\nOrdered a burger with shoe string potatoes. Had been flying all day and we just wanted something quick and easy.\nThe waitress basically disappeared. No refills, more beer, etc. Brought the check and disappeared again. We got tired of waiting and just signed them to our rooms and left. Stiffed her on the tip.",
"The Lunch buffet is on the high end of moderate, but very good. All sorts of greens and cold cuts. Excellent desserts. As close as you will get to gourmet at this price. Service is hit or miss, but no big deal with the buffet. The atmosphere is awesome! Very modern. I like to go here every other month to switch things up because there is no equal to the ambiance.",
"Return trip and had a really good dinner here. \n\nSat at the bar to start but the bartender had a nasty cold so we had to seat elsewhere. Decided on a private booth in back so we could have dinner and some conversation. Asked the bartender to move our tab to the table which was an act of god as we had to wait 10 mins for her to finish what she was doing, then another bartender finally said oh go ahead and sit down we'll transfer it\" Then guess what, oh yeah incapable bartender didn't add it to the bill and had another check for us to sign before leaving....\n\nother than that..\n\nStarted with the chipotle shrimp appetizer, spicy and crispy served in a martini glass with adobe sauce, very good. ($9) Also tried the blue Crab bisque ($4) which was thick and warm with lots of chunks of crab, delicious.\n\nFor dinner we had two of the specials. Hubby had the aged rib eye with a cabernet reduction served with fingerling potatos and fresh vegis. The meat was done perfectly but so full of fat it was hard to eat. ($36) I had the beef palliard with mushroom sauce. The meat was way overcooked and more toward the med well side then med rare ($28) served with same sides as hubby.The sauce were so delicious it really made up for what the meat was lacking, and the meat was lacking a LOT!\n\nmartinis were $11 each and stellas were $5.50. (Which they were out of when we got there and it took almost an hour to tap some more) LOTS of Stella drinkers here on a Friday night too.\n\nAll in all we will go back but will definitely save the red meat for Bascoms as they know how to do it right.",
"I ate almost every meal at Luna while staying at the Hilton on a recent business trip. The ambiance is modern yet soothing, the service is friendly and the food is tasty. It wasn't your typical boring hotel bar, which was a pleasant surprise. The Sirloin Chophouse salad is excellent as is the Blue Crab Bisque.",
"Great food!",
"Excellent service and staff. Accommodated my gluten free dining needs."

"Service was pretty good, however the food was not that great. The posole was just a water down chicken broth. The rest of the food was just ok. If what you are looking for is good mexican food, this is not the place to go. Food is way better prepared and priced at border cafe or Don Pablos.",
"Its pretty much the same as any other local Mexican restaurant and we need it. The area is lacking a variety of restaurants so this is a nice place to get away and have a light bite and cocktail. The chicken enchiladas were typical and the tacos were good. I see no problem with the food and this is coming from a latino family.",
"I thought the food was excellent. My husband and I had the vegetable fajitas for two, and they brought out a very good portion, which could have fed 3! My kids had the Quesadilla Rellena and Steak Quesadilla. My daughter cleaned her plate. Unfortunately, it was a little too much for my 10-year-old, so I got to eat his leftovers. (Yeah....his quesadillas looked so good, and they were.)",
"Getting better with every visit. They actually want to do a good job. As the flavors get fresher my opinion of this place increased. I'm hopeful that spring and summer will contribute to some fresh local ingrediates and more delicious meals.",
"Food was okay. Nothing to write home about. The service was terrible though. Started by having to wait for the hostess to even show up to seat us, then once we were seated we waited probably 10-15 minutes before someone finally noticed we didn't even have drinks yet. We placed our order and while we waited a different waiter came up 3 different times asking if the dish he had was ours. Total chaos and disorganization. I may possibly give them another chance in a few months, considering they just opened and are probably still getting the hang of things. Food was very reasonably priced.",
"We will most definitely be back! Fajitas were outstanding, as were the burritos... fresh ingredients, perfect seasonings. But the menu is huge. It's gonna take a while to try everything!",
"Not impressed at all. I was really looking forward to this restaurant opening. We made it for dinner and was very disappointed. The food was so very bland. We had Texas fajitas and the meat was overcooked and dried out, then added to a hot plate. The margaritas were so so and the service was non existent. My family and I will be taking our business down the street to Margaritas.",
"This place is great real Mexican food friendly staff. Great drinks what more can you ask for! I will be back for sure they also have an outside deck which I can't wait to sit at when it gets nicer out!",
"Love this place. The staff genuinely wants to give good service. The food is excellent. We love the Chile relleno. The servers remembered us.",
"The food here has been good every time we come . The staff is very friendly and very attentive. You would miss it if you did not know it was in the prices corner shopping center where the Acme is. It is worth looking for."

"Reminds me of the small homestyle restaurants in China! I love this place. They have a Chinese and a Vietnamese side of the menu. I love the noodles; everything is perfect. The other diners seemed to be enjoying their pho. Prices are average - it was $8 for a whole plate of noodles. This is actually a Vietnamese-owned Chinese restaurant. Amazing - try it! I think there are specials on chicken on Thursday. I will have to try the pho because I haven't tried it, but hopefully their Vietnamese dishes are as good as the Chinese ones. I thought for sure the owners were Chinese - it was fairly authentic. It is located just left of GrantStone Super Market.",
"I don't remember how I stumbled upon King's Chinese Restaurant. A lone Google review for it, I believe, amongst two. I better check it out, I thought. After all, I am the Tucson Foodie, for whatever that's worth. (Very little, monetarily, just so you know). When I first drove up to the place around 8:00 pm one evening with my significant other, we didn't get out of the car. It didn't look worth it. Second time we didn't get out of the car either. The third time, it was just me and my daughter and she loves Pei-Wei, which I think is equivalent to an Asian version of Taco Bell, so this couldn't be any worse, I figured. Five or six visits later it's not any worse at all. No where near it.\n\nIn fact, I'm amazed at how clean and light their Chinese food is. I'm not going to go into menu descriptions because it's pretty standard Chinese food. They offer items such as Broccoli Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Sesame Chicken, Lo Mein, Chow Mein, etc. All entrees are priced between $6.99 and $7.99 with half orders available for between $4.59 and $4.99. Everything I tried tasted fresh, and well prepared. Everything. I wanted to try as many things as I could from the Chinese menu since they are a Chinese restaurant. That's their name - King's Chinese Restaurant. It's not King's Chinese and Vietnamese Restaurant. If it was, I might have tried it sooner. And had I tried it sooner, I most definitely wouldn't have held out so long to try their pho ($6.25). It's the best pho I've ever had. I don't know why. The broth itself is delicious. The plate of basil and bean sprouts is, well - a plate of purple basil, limes, and bean sprouts. But the meats they put into the Pho Tai Nam Gau are not just the rare beef slices you typically get. There's three kinds of meats in there. Even though the menu decription says \"Rice noodle soup with rare, tender beef slices,\" trust me, there's other meat in there. And it's good. And very filling.\n\nI've also tried the Fresh Spring Rolls. Those are great, too. Really big and made to order.\n\nAmbience? Uh, heh... yeah. None. It's small and bright inside, lit with fluorescent lighting. A big TV is on for you to watch CNN. One of the owners' children is usually sitting at one of the tables doing homework or playing video games on a laptop. He's cute.\n\nService? They have great pho! Who cares about service?! But seriously, don't go here expecting much. Just go for the pho. Maybe that could be their new advertising slogan. Just GO for the PHO. Of course, it's pronounced \"phuh\" so that wouldn't work. Unless you said \"Just GUH for the PHO. Anyhow...\n\nNext door - which I had never realized was an Asian market - is the Grant Stone Supermarket. They have some amazing things for you to peruse and/or purchase if you dare. It's a nice little weeknight cultural experience - dinner at King's then a jaunt through the Grant Stone Supermarket. I always get Pocky - those shortbread sticks dipped in chocolate.\n\nBut, check out King's Chinese Restaurant first and let me know what you think. It's seriously worth it and they probably seriously need the business.\n\nThey're open everyday until 9 pm, but close early on Sundays, I think.",
"My friend and I decided to stop into King's for lunch one day on a whim. I expected the regular fast Chinese fare. To my surprise, the owners were actually Vietnamese, so they had a Vietnamese portion to their menu. All I know is, when I'm at a Chinese restaurant, I don't get the pizza. And being at a Vietnamese owned restaurant, I'm sure not going to get the Chinese food. I don't remember what I got exactly (I think it was a pho dish) since it has been a few months since I was there. But I do remember that it was deliciously satisfying, and I was highly impressed. I will definitely be back again! This is definitely one place where you do not judge a book its covers! Highly recommend checking it out!",
"Being Vietnamese American, it is so wonderful to find places that make authentic cuisine like my grandma made when she was alive. The Vietnamese menu is limited but Kings has the best Gio Cuon (fresh rolls) Cha gio (fried rolls), Pho and Bun (noodle bowls) in town. I can only hope that more people can skip the trendy hot spots like Miss Saigon that water their food down or the Pei Wei's that are the fast food fusion that butcher and lump together all Asian cuisine. This is the real deal...home cooking! The restaurant is definitely a \"hole in the wall\" and area of town is a bit shady but it is always clean, the food fresh and absolutely worth the it!",
"i got a miso soup and an egg drop soup. both super good, hot and fresh. wish they were closer to home!",
"I heeded other yelper's advice and headed to King's to try out the pho. Well, first I started with some fried egg rolls which were awesome and the nuom choc dipping sauce was fishy, spicy, and citrusy... perfect. The pho broth was a little salty but it had a lot of body. The meat in the soup really stood out though. I ordered the rare beef but they threw in some brisket too. It was super flavorful and very tender. Seriously, I think it was the best meat I have had in a bowl of pho. It was served with a huge portion of sprouts, basil, cilantro and jalapenos. Which brings me to my next point.... cheap. This is the cheapest place in town to get a bowl of pho at $6.25. Oh, and it is so worth it. The whole family works the place together so it has a very friendly and laid back atmosphere. Oh, and they deliver. Thank you my dear yelpers. I don't know what I would do without you.",
"Well, how surprising for the good!!! My kids and I have a ritual where once in a great while we will drive until we hit somewhere we know nothing about and where none of us has been. I am glad to say this is the place!!!!! YUM!\nWe drove down Grant Road and this is where we ended up. We ordered crab puffs, Chinese egg rolls, the beef pho, chicken pho, and my son ordered rice with chicken. Pork, and shrimp in it. My daughter and i's pho was delicious!! My daughter could not stop commenting on how great the broth is and I happen to agree!\nThe rice(com) was so lovely. The rice wasn't overly greasy and light and yet perfectly cooked. The crab puffs I liked because it wasn't heavy and they were petite. My daughter, Zoie, loved the Chinese egg rolls were crisp and vegetarian. \nThis place is a whole in the wall but it is the real deal. We are stoked to have found this place. Just remember truly hole in the wall. And here is the overall thing to sum it up: Yum!!!!!!!",
"King's is nestled away in a strip mall next to the Grant-Stone Supermarket. Inside, it's a little small, and there were two little Asian boys playing on their laptops, surrounded by all sorts of junk food trash (a sure sign that this place is legit). The waitress/owner was patient as we talked loudly about what we wanted to eat and then pointed to our orders, since we sure as hell couldn't pronounce it. I had a pho, which was actually really good! Definitely rivals Miss Saigon. I'm pretty sure everyone in my group ordered from the Vietnamese portion of the menu since I told them the owners were Vietnamese (Thanks, Yelp!). The only downside was that the selection was not as large, but the prices were slightly lower. All in all, pretty good.",
"At King's it's not so much about the food, but rather the people that make it work.\n\nThe food is pretty marginal, all things considered. The price is highly affordable and makes it pretty easy to try most of the menu over the course of a couple of months (which I plan to do).\n\nThe ambiance is the typical wobbly tables and black lacquer chairs. Very straight forward here. What you see is what you get.\n\nService is pretty much the kids at the computer coming over to give you a menu and water and then forgetting about you.\n\nScratching your head wondering about 4 stars? Thought so.\n\nI dig people that keep their restaurants real. There no pretentious bullshit, no trendy architecture, no innovative drink names, no hostesses with attitudes. It's real people going to work everyday to try to make ends meet. \n\nThe owners of this restaurant could give a rat's ass about Yelp - they never heard and could careless what is written. They will continue to go to work each and every morning in an endless cycle.\n\nI reward people like that - and more of us should as well. \n\nThe next time that you're around Stone and Grant, drop into King's and see the way a real restaurant is ran and how food cooked by people with heart and soul tastes like.",
"Delicious!\n\nEnded up at King's after a grossly disappointing experience at neighbour Yamato. Showed up within an hour of closing on a Friday night and was pleasantly surprised by the food and the prices.\n\nThe restaurant is very typical of the Vietnamese cantinas I'm used to. Bare decoration, plastic chopsticks in a bucket, hoisin and chili sauces on the tables and a television in the background. Their menu is simple and well-detailed, cheap and traditional. Perfect!\n\nMy husband went for Chinese, I went for Vietnamese. \n\nTheir Vietnamese was definitely authentic and reminiscent of the places my Vietnamese friends took me for Pho in Montreal. The broken rice was fresh, delicious - the nuoc cham dipping sauce did the trick. My charbroiled pork chop was perfect.\n\nThe Chinese was decent, especially considering the price (10$ for two course meal of Mongolian beef and curry chicken). It was above your typical Chinese buffet fare but below authentic Chinese cuisine - it tasted exactly like you'd expect from a Vietnamese restaurant making Sino-American classics.\n\nDefinitely worth the money! Lower your expectations of the decor and service (a kid behind a laptop) - just go for cheap yummy food and you'll be happy."

"For the first day open, Pho Tay did ok. Even though I have no idea what the name means.\n\nI have nothing against pho, but Bun Bo Hue is a much better soup. It just doesn't get the attention in this country that pho generates.\n\nIt was good to see there were several other customers in the restaurant, despite being opening day. An online writeup in the Idaho Statesman may have helped. That's what led me there for a late lunch.\n\nBroth is the star in any Vietnamese soup, but the one I slurped wasn't developed enough. It lacked the richness of pork, beef and lemongrass that Bun Bo Hue sgould have.\n\nStill, the soup was loaded with slices of pork and beef and there was a plate full of sprouts, cabbage, herbs and a huge lemon wedge.\n\nI also liked that they provided side condiments of chile in oil, fish sauce, hoisin sauce and sriracha sauce to liven things up.\n\nService was friendly and although it took longer to deliver the soup than I would have expected, I chalked it up to still feeling their way around on opening day.",
"A brand sparkling new Vietnamese restaurant that just opened in Boise. The restaurant it self is modern, big, open and very clean. It's located on Fairview and 5 Miles Rd. \nI came here during their lunch. The restaurant was half full. Surely they have some things to be straightened up but after all considering it was their second day it was not too bad. \nThe menu was the same like any other Pho place we have been to; appetizers, soups, sandwiches & rice dishes. We order iced Vietnamese coffee, Goi Cuon, Beef Pho & Bun Bo Hue. \nAfter all the food was average, we have eaten better versions of same meal at other Pho places.",
"The pho was Disgusting!! It had large hard grizzly tendons included. The \"prime rib\" was mostly fatty tissue and twisted tough (meat?\"). The broth was good but I spent the entire time digging out the gross items. I asked for no rubbery meatballs and they gave me those too. The only additions were basil, line, and sprouts. A good selection of sauces were on the table were, the bathroom was nice and clean, the atmosphere was open and inviting. We also ordered chai goi and it was very good, the jasmine tea was good and served in a nice tea pot. The white wine was cold and an ample serving which saved the meal. I won't be back.",
"**** NEW BUSINESS. WITH GROWING PAINS*** \n\nIt's going to be great. I had a great bowl of spicy noodles. Which arrived hot and flavorful. A little wait. But I was lucky story to come. My friend ordered the pho. And she's said it was pretty good too. The crunchy pork egg rolls were hot and the pork piquant. So. I will return. \n\nNow the story\n\nSo. When we arrived the place was packed. Not astonishing as it was 12:00 noon in a Friday. Had to wait for a table about 3min. As I looked around I noticed many tables without food. But had menus. Oh oh. Might have to wait while the kitchen gets to us. My friend noticed one of her friends and went to catch up. I ordered a few minutes later. When she returned. She told me the story of her friend waiting for an hour. And not receiving her food yet. Said if we got ours she was gone. And on cue. Boom our soup arrived. Ahead of hers. And ahead of many other diners. Who had been there who knows how long. So. She almost left. But her pho showed up. And she was comped and slowly the rest of the diners got their food. But it was a dance. A few kinks to work out. Some communication. Some patience. And understanding. Although it's normal for a hungery persons understanding and patience to be thin .. \n\nSo. Why the 4 star. Because I believe in them. It's going to be good. The service will be ironed out. After a stellar deeds review. And a huge turnout in the first week. If my experience. Was representive.. it will be better. \n\nThank you.",
"I've been searching for a good pho place since moving to Boise six months ago. I've already found my go-to place for banh mi, but the best broth has eluded me.\nWhen the sign went up for Pho Tay I was excited. It's the closest to my house by far, and I thought maybe this would be the place that would deliver the flavors I so longed for!\nSo we visited today for lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised. There are some brand-new wrinkles to iron out, most due to having a lot of customers. Three of us at our table went most of our meal without water, for example.\nBut the soup, you say? What about the soup? Well, I'm pleased to report it's among the best in the valley. The inclusion of a variety of cuts of meat sets it apart from other pho places that only standardly include sliced steak. The broth is flavorful and aromatic, and the portions are good.\nMy biggest quibble is the pricing. For this location, for what's being offered, all the prices seem at least a few dollars too high. The grilled pork banh mi was good, but $6 is too much. If prices come down as they settle in, Pho Tay will be a weekly visit. If not, it will have to be saved for special occasions.",
"Brand new Pho restaurant located in Boise, very upscale feeling inside with the decor, which almost could seem out of place in a strip mall but it works.\n\nThere is a small bar area that serves wine and beer on a limited selection.\n\nI went for the Pho. The prices are a tad on the high side, $9 for a \"small\" bowl, but the size is misleading. It's a good sized portion served with the traditional vegetables. The broth was light and flavorful, not overpowering, the noodles were perfect, but it felt like there could have been more noodles. The meat was tender and delicious.\n\nThis place has great potential if they can work out the kinks in service. A nice feature is they provide metal chopsticks, which is a nice touch. Definitely will go back to try tbe rest of the menu.",
"Having lived for 3 years in Westminster California (a Vietnamese community in so cal) I have been to a lot of pho shops. I came in to this restaurant with an open mind not expecting much. I was expecting at least good service. I was really rooting for this place since I love a good bowl of pho a few times a month. \n\nWe went to the shop around 6:20pm the place looks a bit packed from the outside. Almost all the tables are occupied and there are some that are just not cleaned up. Coming into the door - we were standing for quite a while waiting for someone to come to us and sit us. The workers there saw us but didn't even acknowledge us. We ended up looking for our own sit. Finally a lady came to us to take our order after waving at her. We ordered a small and large bowl of pho, spring rolls, some cha gio and some bbq with rice. Normally in most restaurant either after you're sat down or after your order was taken someone would come and give you water, napkins and utensils... we didn't get none of that until after we asked, after about 15mins after they took our order... and they just dumped all the utensils and napkin on one side of the table. After about 30 minutes the bbq and rice plate and the cha gio came out. They were both cold. We had to ask them to please reheat the bbq and rice since the rice too was cold to eat. The cha gio was almost cold just barely warm. We didn't asked for it to be warmed because we know it'll just make it worse. At this point I thought it'll be just a matter a minute or two before our two bowls of pho and spring rolls would come but that's not the case... we had to wait for another 15minutes for the pho and had to ask for our spring roll order which they seem to forgot. I asked for everything in our pho: meat, beef balls and tendon. When my pho came it has no tendons and hardly any meat. The meat in it has disintegrated. All the pho places I've been to have thin slices of raw meat that gets cooked in the broth. This place serves over cooked meat that disintegrates in the soup. The tendon which shows in the menu as part of the soup was actually an extra so they charged us $2 extra for each order and we only got two small tendons. so we basically paid $4 for 4 small pieces of tendons. \n\nThe pho is watered down. I'm not sure if they do this to cater to the taste buds of Idahoans or it's just their version of pho. This is the most bland pho I've ever tasted. I can't taste the spices that's supposed to be in it. The spring rolls is whack! my wife who loves spring rolls wasn't even able to finish it. The service is so horrible we were not even once offered a refill of our water and some extra napkins. Maybe I'll give them another try in the future and update this post. I hope that in time they will improve their service and products.",
"I usually do not like to leave negative reviews for places, but I sincerely feel this place has potential, if they will take heed of the criticisms.I understand that new restaurants have kinks that they need to get over but this is unacceptable. I ordered it to go, 45 minutes later I go to pick it up have to get an Uber to do it..... waited for 10 minutes before they give me my order thats clearly sitting on the counter. Now normally this wouldn't be a huge deal as long as the food is good, but I get home and not only did they give me the completely wrong soup and charge me for the premium soup but there was NO MEAT in the soup what so ever, and the meat they did add was raw and the soup was not even hot enough to cook it, was almost cold ...To top it off, they have plenty of staff, but they NEED to communicate, everyone was walking around like they didnt know where they were going or what was going on. They need to have someone pushing orders, someone cooking, and their waitstaff bringing out the orders, not everyone trying to do everything.",
"Great food, good service, nice prices. We'll definitely be back again soon!",
"I got the Bun Bo Hue really good flavors are very good. Went to another PHO place off eagle rd and this PHO TAY is absolutely superior over that one. Pho Tay is very clean and the staff was very helpful and nice."

"This is my new favorite spot in New Orleans! The owner was knowledgeable and helpful; the ingredients are imported, natural, and fantastic. The gelato flavors make it so hard to choose (they're all perfect), and the sorbetto is just as amazing!",
"If there were 100 stars I would certenly give to this amazing place in NOLA. I have traveled the world and eaten gelato in many places , but this was by far the best gelato that I ever had in my life. It is absolutly vacation for your mouth. From the moment you walk into this faboules place your breath is taken away from beatifuly decorated walls, tebles to very friendly stuff and owners to eating Italian Piadina , Gelato , and of course sipping on the best Expresso in town. You can not go wrong with any choice of flavors from Nutella, salted caramel, rasbery sorbet , mango, banana pecan you name it they have it, and they are all absolutely to die for. Definetly if in NOLA must go place.",
"Cappuccino and piadina for breakfast - yum! Can't wait to try the gelato - 18 flavors!",
"SO glad to have discovered this delightful and delicious little place. The friendliest and most helpful staff I've met as well as fantastic gelato and coffee with so many options! I can't wait to go back soon and try the flatbreads and other food! Just stumbled on it after stuffing myself at brunch nearby but this honestly made my day. The gelato was to die for! I would recommend this to any and EVERYone!",
"Fantastic -- hands down the best quality gelato in New Orleans. Very clearly super authentic, has exactly the right texture that real gelato should have, and incredible depth of flavor. Owners are so friendly, the store itself is relaxing and inviting. I will be going back very very soon!",
"Absolutely incredible! Every flavor is delicious. The owners are really nice and friendly. The gelato is very rich and flavorful and the whole shop has a welcoming atmosphere. I'm coming back tomorrow for sure! Try the Nutella.",
"These guys make an excellent cappuccino and the coffee's great too.\nThanks,\nApple Repair Shop",
"Great new addition to Freret St! Good flatbread sandwiches for breakfast or lunch, coffee, and amazing gelato. Will be coming here regularly.",
"Great gelato! Finally have an authentic Italian gelato shop in New Orleans. Really like the atmosphere, too, which felt like an Italian home. Friendly and personal owners.",
"Very great local Gelato shop on Freret. If you're ever in the area or even not! Make your way here. Nice atmosphere and great customer service. :-) Happy to see another Gelato shop in the city. A great place to go out on a date."

"WTF? I'm the first person to review MacDinton's? This place is a great bar, and they even have some good food to boot! The crowd is 21 to 35 year olds for the most part, with a peppering of some older folks to keep it interesting. Great Thursday $10 all-you-can-drink special from 6-8pm similar to Whiskey Park, but MacDinton's includes all the great beers they have on tap, and they give you pint glasses to drink. \n\nNice outdoor patio and plenty of room inside as well (live music too!), if you're in your twenties or thirties and haven't been here, then go...go ahead...right now!",
"MacDinton's is a decent pub, but its far too crowded. Its great Irish ambiance is lost with the wall-to-wall, elbow-to-elbow, SO-HO crowd. The bartenders are ok, but the bartenders at O'Briens and Four Green Fields are much more friendly.",
"This place gets 5 stars for the 10 dollar all you can drink happy hour from 6-8pm on Fridays. By the time that's over, the place is irreparably crowded and it's time to go eat some dinner and chill out.The beer selection is perfect, they've got all the right mixed drinks, but it's just too crowded.\n\nThe crowd is 25 year olds. Well, that means college freshmen who are trying to look 25 and that also means 40 year olds trying to look 25, so that interaction is entertaining to be certain. But, if you're looking for a place to hang out and take it easy, this is probably the last place you should look.",
"OK, it's a meat market and I'm not talking about the food. It's a blast on a warm afternoon or evening. The large outside bar attracts a crowd.\n\nThe food is underwhelming at best. If you come here to eat, you are in the wrong state of mind.",
"I guess it is ok - on a Friday or Saturday night it can get pretty pretentious. Like Suzanne said, its a bunch of frat boys and sorority girls who like to sport the pricey drinks like an accessory. Also, the crowds on the weekends are way too big. If you don't mind being shoulder to shoulder all night, then I'm sure it can be a riot.",
"We went there to watch a soccer game. Very crowded but fun! The screens could be a bit bigger, and better located, but the enthusiastic crowd made more than up for it. On the downside, the 2-for-1 beer special did not work for us: They declared themselves out of the particular \"special beer\" (Peroni/Urquell) when we came back for the second one. The air conditioning also lacked seriously, but I guess that is what you get when there are ~200 screaming and sweating soccer fans in the same room. Free valet parking was a plus, but they lost our keys and it took a while to recover them.",
"Some of the best times. Some of the worst times. \n\nA 6-8pm Friday Night at MacDintons is part of the quintessential Tampa experience...so do it (just don't plan anything after oooohhh say 10pm because you may be crawling to the cab). \n\nThis place is a love to hate (not love or hate). \nIt is trendy without a velvet rope. It is cheesy without tourists. It is huge, yet will eventually get you shoulder to shoulder. \n\nIf you haven't been for a Thursday, Friday (6-8 All-U-Can-Drink) or Saturday night, then you are missing out. \n\nIf you are into rugby and soccer, then it is the only place that I know of to catch European TV. And the hamburger stand in the parking lot is awesome.",
"Ugh. I went here for Saint Patrick's Day and had some of the worst drinks of my life. If the only good beer (Hacker Pschorr Weisse) hadn't gone out five minutes after we got there, the night might have been better... i.e. I would have been boozed up enough to disregard the fact that the crowd was full of annoying fratboys who wouldn't know good beer if it bit them on the ass. Also, we couldn't find a place (table, stool, high-top, etc) to settle in the entire night. Granted, it was Saint Patty's Day and we were at an \"Irish\" pub, but still... it sucked... like the bad margaritas I was forced to get.",
"What do I think of Macdinton's...hmm. It reminds me of a hangover. You hate a hangover because it makes you worthless and feel like crap, but at the same time you welcome the hangover because it gives you an excuse to eat really greasy food and watch movies all day. Macdinton's is good because they offer $10 all-you-can-drink for two hours (which just happens to be a lot), but sucks because they have only one tiny bathroom but let in around 800 people (no exaggeration) to stand shoulder to shoulder with you and do battle at the various bars around the venue. The bartenders are less than friendly, and not afraid to let you know that they work for tips only during happy hour( ALWAYS take care of your bartenders and waiters by the way). They have a decent beer selection...better than average anyways. When it's not so crowded, the place is nice, and has various places to sit and drink and talk and drink and play darts and drink. Prices outside of Happy Hour are nothing special, but the location of the bar is reason for this. Speaking of the location, it's good. Plenty of restaurants and other drinking options are around. There are always a decent amount of cuties around! If they added another FREAKING bathroom this place would easily get bumped to a 4-star rating. Do I want to go to MacDinton's again...not really, but I know I'll be back, and not just once, but probably twice a month. MacDinton's = a Hangover.",
"Everytime I'm in Tampa, we end up here.\n\nWhether it's a nice night in November and we want to chill to some live music and cruise the meat that is the band (how you doin', bass player?) or we want to just be outside (January, when Chicago is 10 degrees withOUT wind chill) or when my friend wants to show me how she got my airfare for $100 round trip in July (they have MISTERS out on the patio!)*...this place does not disappoint.\n\nLove the giant patio here. There's lots of seating and a huge bar outside for easy access to a frosty beverage. There always seems to be something fun going on here, and it's a great place to just relax without being all fancy.\n\nNo doubt, I'll be back!\n\n* This \"Florida-in-July\" incident led us to midnight swimming which led to a passive aggressive note in my best friend's housing community prohibiting \"swimming after dusk.\" Jerks."

"Smoky Mountain in general has fabulous food. This one stands out because of the back patio. there is a large tree that provides shade and sets a lovely mood. The selection ranges from pizza to pasta to salads and they are all pretty tasty. Service is standard and just a nice place to eat with family or friends.",
"You can always count on \"Smoky's\" on a hot summer evening; the patio is as cool as you can be outdoors and the local musicians add to the mood. Indoors in the winter, the old-bungalow construction is homey and familiar. I always get the black bean ravioli and I'm glad that they offer carry out (and delivery) so that if I have a craving I can order it on the fly. Service can be relaxed but always friendly.",
"I guess I'm not getting it here. Too bad since I can walk to it. Maybe my two experiences would've been better if I had dined in or sat on the patio, kinda like eating in Hyde Park where the food isn't great but the environment you're in makes the experience more aesthetically pleasing.\n\nThe calzone was pretty puny and didn't fill me up. Heavy on average-tasting bread and light on fillings. I needed to use the accompanying marinara to enhance the taste, which is a bad sign for me since I never needed marinara when eating good calzones growing up. I ordered the same ingredients I always want in one, and this was not a good calzone to me. \n\nWent back later to try the pizza. A little better than your Pizza Huts of the world. There was something cheap and artificial-tasting about the tomato sauce that turned me off to it. At $15 for a large (14\") one-topping pizza, this should've been a lot better than what I got. It's really not much better than Papa Murphy's (which is in the strip mall caddy corner to Smoky), and I'd rather go to Papa Murphy's and pay close to half of what I would get at Smoky than feel like I got ripped off at Smoky again.\n\nBoring and underwhelming.",
"Imagine an Applebee's or TGI Friday's with a local flair. Add in a bunch of families and old folks, and this is the place that comes out. The food is meh. I've had better pizza and salad at plenty of other places. Maybe it's a better place to go when there's a game on TV to share with a bigger crowd. But during lunch hour it's pretty depressing.",
"Overall bland, anemic food. My pizza was underdone and loaded with wilted veggies and way too much cheese. Ingredients were heaped high in the middle, leaving the rest of the slice bare. The crust was cracker thin and overdone on the outside while managing to be underdone in the middle. It had obviously sat under a heat lamp for quite a while as well. The drink list was disappointing, no seasonal beer. \n\nService was slow and indifferent. One offer for a refill during my hour and a half. \n\nEmbarrassing....",
"I had a gift card to burn so a bud and I decided to burn it here. I had been here once for a work party before, but this was the first experience I had with the servers and staff. The pizza we ordered \"The Smoky\" was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall was well-prepared. There was originally a mistake - the wrong pizza was sent to us, however the servers allowed us to take one slice each from it as a goodwill gesture. Don't see that too often.\n\nThe only downside to the place were the prices. If it weren't for the gift card, I probably would not eat here unless I got a raise.",
"I like this place. My wife and I went here the other day and was not sure about a pizza place in a refurbished 1940's era home. The food was pretty good. We had split a personal pizza \"The ultimate\" and had an order of spring rolls. Very good choice I must say. A great light lunch with drinks for two. Only about $20.00 not including tip. I would recommend eating here. Prices not bad at all. Affordable unless you go all out and get the biggest baddest meal they have. Then it can get a little costly. But you still can eat a good meal even if your on a budget.",
"Ordered a large pepperoni, onion, and green pepper for pick up. Had a glass of wine while I waited for order to be completed. \nClean, good service, and reasonable prices, and above average pizza.",
"Food was good, place was nice, service okay. We stopped in for lunch and to watch some of the football games that were on TV. Unfortunately, in the dining areas no TV's. Are you kidding me? Didn't want to sit at the bar with the whole family so kind of positioned myself at the end of the table where I could look through the dining room to see the TV in the bar area. Nice setting downtown in an old house but not having any TV's compromised us having a really good time and likely spending a lot of money.",
"The only reason this location doesn't get more than three stars from me is the service. I have been here several times as it is close to my office, but we tend to avoid it because the service is SO slow. It is a bright and cheerful atmosphere with some great courtyard views. The food is wonderful and the staff is friendly enough- but SLOW SLOW SLOW. Also, it's very hard to get the servers attention most of the time."

"We are big fans of Picasso's on Main Street, and were very excited to see this location open at the Streets of St. Charles. It's an awesome location, with a door right off the parking garage and loft apartments which will make it a great place to go in the winter. \n\nThe inside captures the spirit of the Main Street location perfectly, with the same cozy chairs and tables, awesome wood-carved artwork, and lots of paintings on the wall by local artists. This location is much larger, and is great for groups. They have an impressive wine selection, and the brew bar coffee is just as good as Picasso's has always been. \n\nAs soon as we went in, this place felt like home. Now, the hard choice will be which location to visit!",
"So glad this location is open now. Friendly staff who really take pride in crafting quality drinks. Goodies and treats, wine, beer. There is something for everyone. Hang out and enjoy some fantastic coffee.",
"Love this spot. The Main Street location is great for the historic atmosphere and this location is great for a more modern feel. Good coffee, good people.",
"Awesome coffee shop, very friendly crew, place is very clean. I had the white chocolate latte and it tasted great. Fits in well with all the other cool places in Streets of St Charles. Definitely will be heading back for more!",
"This coffee place is the coffee place that got me liking coffee here in St. Louis. They have creations for coffee newbs like myself to ease into it. I love their Milky Way and Aztech Mocha's. They are a great treat on Friday mornings before I grind out my final day of work for the week. They have pretty decent snacks/food also, but you will usually have to wait a little bit for them, because they only have 2 people working usually, so they have to multi task. Just plan accordingly.",
"We are huge fans of Picasso's on Main Street, so we stopped in at this new location on the second day it was opened. It has the same comfortable ambiance, the same great coffee, and the same personal service. There is a lot of elbow room to socialize or work, and some cozy chairs near a faux fireplace. If it's past coffee time for you, the wine selection is amazing. It's hard to decide now which location is my favorite!",
"Nice selection of upscale coffee beverages. Baristas are talented and know how to craft well-made beverages. Nice selection of pastries and a small snack menu. Beer, wine and martinis also available. The prices, though are a little high... Much due to the location and associated rent, I'm sure. \nI'm not normally a flavored coffee fan, but I tried the bourbon Pecan blend today and it was on point.",
"Good but wish they had more tables. Was late notifying about reservations so we had to move abruptly. Nice environment to hang. Parking is hard to find in the plaza. The coworkers can be more trained on scheduled events. The workers don't smile that much, seems like many things not making them happy genuinely. Very friendly regulars, but the locals are not very welcoming.",
"Has a great greek salad on their lunch menu. I have been eating lunch there since they opened... always consistently good.",
"Very rarely do I write a review right away and very rarely do I obtain a cup of coffee that I don't have to Doctor up; yet Picasso was so excellent on the latter that I'm doing the former. \n\nMid day break and needing a boost I strolled in. The lighting is very dark even during the day. There's ample seating that's not crowed and free Wi-Fi so it's the perfect place to get some work done. The pastry items are rather limited but the menu for espresso drinks is more than most coffee places and leaves one with lots of options. Whenever the option presents self, I always go with almond milk and they had it in abundance. I opted for the Mona snicker mocha with slightly less syrup than their recipe calls for.\n\nA huge sigh of relief when I took my first sip. Yet before my first sip, the barista very pleasantly told me to let her know if I needed any alterations. At the first sip I gave her a thumbs up and I'll I had to do was stir my warm drink. \n\nPicasso is centrally located within the new shopping and dining complex called The Streets of St. Charles. Right by wasabi sushi and two cute boutiques, Picasso makes it easy to grab a drink and stroll the area either while shopping, taking a break from work for a pick me up or after a workout or movie.\n\nWhether you like hot drinks, cold drinks, bottled beverages, pastries or sandwiches; I would definitely suggest Picasso. They have winning customer service and even better offerings that'll keep anyone coming back. More so since they have a frequency rewards card and gift cards at the ready."

"I feel like I'm going to get blasted for this review because all I ever hear about Five Guys is how much everyone loves it and how they can't wait to go back and OMG THE FRIES. Yes, much like their sales pitch says, it probably is the best burger you'll get for $5. One of them, for sure. But there wasn't really anything special other than a lot of options. And for everything being made fresh, it still just tasted like a better-than-the-rest fast food burger. \n\nThe fries were okay, and I appreciate their commitment to quality ingredients by using whole potatoes and frying in peanut oil, but much like boardwalk fries, I seem to like them in theory, but when I actually start to eat them, they're never as crispy or satisfying as I would like. Mushy half-fried potatoes aren't worth the TONS of calories they'll put into my body...\n\nI'm not saying I'll never go back. For what it is, it's good. But I haven't eaten McDonalds or Wendy's or Burger King in a long time and while I'd definitely put Five Guys WAY above those three, it's still not good enough to make it worth sinking into fast food land for on a regular basis.\n\nSorry, Five Guys. I wanted to love you, but I guess it just didn't work out.",
"Besides for during serious road trip situations, I generally abstain from fast food. But every now and then, a craving builds up inside me and there's really no satisfying it without the help of a greasy, artery-clogging cheeseburger.\n\nEnter Five Guys. As a younger chain, they haven't done anything yet to make me despise them, the way other spots like Mickey D's have. Before visiting yesterday, I discovered an \"order online\" function on their website, which was nice because I like plenty of condiments and usually worry about things being accidentally left off when I order in person.\n\nWhen I arrived ten minutes later, I told the cashier I'd ordered ahead, and she shouted, \"Thomas is here!\" A response came from the kitchen, again, \"Thomas is here!\" They had our burger buns set up with their respective condiments, and didn't add the burger until I'd arrived. And sure enough, all our condiments were correct. They sure made me feel important.\n\nMy bacon cheeseburger was a sloppy, delicious mess of a meal, incredibly unhealthy but just what I was looking for. The fries were soggy and unappetizing but I ate them anyway. I won't be back very soon, but I'll be back eventually, driven by that occasional, insatiable craving for a hot bag of grease.",
"This place is pretty good. The fresh cut fries are yum, especially dipped in vinegar! The burgers are good too, not too dry. Place is pretty clean and well kept not like the other locations in center city, hopefully it'll stay this way.",
"Five Guys has moved to the Burbs and has taken over. On the weekend this place is over run with Minivans and H3's(why do you still DRIVE these things people!!). Must be the smell of the burgers wafting through the mini mall but it brings the hordes in like the stampeding herd they are. I think its that everyone is trying to be \" lean and healthy\" and everyone once in a while 'Meg'(standard culdesac name) likes to chow down on some PURE GREASE. \n\nMe? I try to go at least 3 times a week for a quick bacon burger, but only add the seasoned fries. No need to waste money on the regular droopy dog fries if they aren't going to have any taste.\n\nLike the slogan says It's probably the best burger you are going to get under 5 bucks.\n\nSide note: regular burgers have 2 patties and jr.'s have 1.",
"Best burgers and fries around. Love the friendly service too!",
"Someday I will grow bored with the limited menu, but until then....num, num",
"It's no In-n-Out but WAY better than McDonald's, BK, or Wendy. Yes it's pricier but you can at least be certain that you are eating beef and not a beef-like substance. The bacon cheeseburger is good artery-clogging comfort meal. Fries are either very good and fresh or soggy, depending on the batch. Service is usually very good and pretty efficient. The only downside is that all burgers are well-done. I tend to like mine medium-rare or medium but c'est la vie.",
"Decent burgers for the price and speed. If you are getting their fries I highly reccomend the cajun fries as the regualr are lacking.",
"I've been in here a few times now...and it's what you'd expect from a typical Five Guys. Good food and friendly service at a more-than-run-of-the-mill-fast-food but cheaper-than-a-sit-down restaurant price.\n\nAside from that, not much to really say. This place gets packed during lunch, so beware.\n\nAll in all, I don't think it's the *best* Five Guys I've been to. Today's burger tasted quite flavorless for some reason...but still not bad.",
"For Five Guys being a chain burger joint , this is probably the best fast food joints out there. I and we all know when someone says fast food we all think of the worst, too many calories, too much grease, I shouldn't be eating these types of foods, but yet I will substitute my gluttony with a diet coke. \n\nI've been coming here a few times seeing it is about a 1/4 mile away from my job, so far it is not bad . The customer service here is good its pretty much simple ordering if you ask me. You ask for what you want and how you want and badda boom you got it . \n\nWe all know of 5 guys so I will try to keep it simple , and for those who don't know about this place go in ... give a whirl. Great place to get a burger or a dog, and why is it nobody ever talks about their dogs? They cut that little guy in half, place it on the grill and nothing taste better than a dog that's been grilled. Myself I will mix it up every once in a while, from the bacon cheese burgers (regular ones, not that junior non sense) . I'd go with two dogs with cheese, bacon, grilled and raw onions, couple shots of ketchup with cajun fries. Winner in my book, along with their tasty burgers (with bacon of course) Best thing also is when your order is ready it is given to you in a brown bag with added fries over top of your order. \n\nYea we all know that grease stained bag that is holding that mouth watering meal. These guys are in a great location, plenty of walking traffic, the manager is a friendly guy. \n\nGood stuff , plus if you feel guilty go to the gym"

"Worst taco bell I've been to. On a given visit you can expect (pick two): messed up order, long waits, terrible food even compared to typical Taco Bell, misplaced items, poor service. Unfortunately this location is right by where I work, or else I would never come here. But honestly this past order (long wait, no straw, items missing ingredients) has to be the last time. There's too many options nearby. Go someplace else, and get Taco Bell later, from another location, if you want to.",
"This Taco Bell has always been friendly to me. I am a sucker for the Catina Bell Bowl. It's pretty tasty for fast food. They have a quck drive through service. Overall, I can't complain. I don't eat here very often, so maybe I have been lucky.",
"Came here for lunch. Nobody in the drive through line. Person on the other end says \"please wait a minute\". 4 minutes passes by, and I say a simple \"hello?\" into the box. Once again I get a snippy \"SIR please wait a minute\". \n\nSaying nothing I decided tacos were not for me that lunch and decided to leave. As I drove past the drive through window I saw the friendly employee yakking away with his friends, he flipped me off.\n\nStay classy taco bell. Stay Classy.",
"This Taco Bell is one of the worst I've experienced. Given that it is fast food I don't have high expectations however, at this location you can expect several things to happen. Your order will be wrong. The wait will be an excess of at least twenty minutes and they seem to regularly be out of menu items. \n\nThe combination of all the above leaves me to say only eat here in desperation.",
"This Taco Bell is horrible. Not only is the food always made wrong but the employees are rude half the time. Don't come here late at night because they usually close an hour early. I came by at 1 am and knocked on the drive through window since they were supposed to be open for a while longer and the employee flipped me off. When you order food you get some poorly put together food with half the filling you get at other Taco Bells. Honestly it's a damn taco it's not hard to make it right if you put some small amount of effort. In my opinion if i was the manager i would fire every lazy ass worker there and give the minimum wage job to someone who deserves it. We all know other people would love the opportunity for a job. Get your shit together!",
"This is the single worst Taco Bell I've ever been to, it is unprofessional and the food is made extremely poorly. I got nachos and a cheese tacos and my friend and I had to wait 25 min. We went there at 1:40 am and it was not busy at all. The workers were wearing bob Marley and other unprofessional tank tops with nothing to cover their hair. And on top of that virtually the simplest order they've probably had they messed up, our quesadillas were burnt and nasty. Avoid going here if you can.",
"This is actually a follow up to a bad experience I have 4 months ago. \n\nThis time specifically I again have inattentive employees and just as in the previous time when I received my food, the quality was a zero. My chalupa was harder than a hard taco and the ingredients in my burrito were barely there. \n\nI love taco bell and I visit plenty (hey big guy gotta eat on a budget. ) and trust me I'm not one of those Nick picky jerks when it comes to fast food. But the frequent and abrasive failures of this taco bell stands profoundly out. \n\nI don't think a fast food place should consist of straight faced 100% professional people. It is what it is. But please just be attentive to your customer and Give them edible food. \n\nWhen returning my chalupa the manager mAde the comment that it was very obvious that chalupa wasn't supposed to go out. And he quickly had it replaced. He mAde it right which is the positive thing I can say about this place. I will not give them a third chance to waste my time and money though. \n\nHope this review was helpful.",
"Yes, I'm reviewing a fast food restaurant. Yes, I'm talking about a Taco Bell. But after three strikes, I've decided this place is one of the worst fast food restaurants ever.\n\nThey consistently forget about the Drive Thru. Multiple times I have had an employee to \"hold on a second\" and then sat for between 5-10 minutes to place my order with one car in front of me at the window. That is unacceptable to me at a fast food restaurant. \n\nFood comes out at cold/lukewarm temperatures. \n\nThe last time I went through, I asked for Fire sauce when I ordered, and again at the window. There were no sauce packets in my bag so I asked again. The window attendant handed me mild sauce and shut the window in my face. \n\nYou're better off going to the Taco Bell at 24th and Meridian or just going to another food chain all together. I'm done with this one.",
"Simply one of the worst around. Always out of items and even when they aren't, after eating, you usually wish they had been out of what you ordered.",
"Lettuce was dis colored and tasted old. Not as fast as other taco bells I've been to. Potatoes are so hard in the burrito. It's like chewing on a rock. There was no sour cream in my nachos and the tables are all dirty. The music is blaring rap music which I don't mind rap music but not when it's blaring in my ear. The staff was completely rude. We asked for a tray so we could eat for here and they handed us a tray to do it ourselves. I work at Starbucks so I understand how stressed they feel but I still offer excellent customer service. Probably will never come back."

"I've been looking forward to this place opening for months now, and it finally opened at the end of last week. I stopped in on 12/12 for a 6 pack of Left Hand Milk Stout to go, and then on Saturday 12/13 I my wife and I both went in for a beer to check it out.\n\nThey have over 300 beer bottles and 40 taps to choose from for you beer hounds out there (ME), and a small wine list for those that would prefer wine. They also offer a small menu of pizza, soft pretzel sticks, and a sausage & cheese tray.\n\nOur beers were each served in the glasses they were meant to be served in, and we chatted with Jackie and Melissa that worked there, both very nice ladies. Everyone there was very friendly and people around us were all having a good time. The beers have a wide variety of price ranges but most of them fall in the $4-$6 area, which isn't bad for the awesome beer they have.\n\nThere is some outdoor seating, and smoking is only allowed outside. They offer the NFL Sunday ticket and have about 10 nicely sized LCD's around the place, and look like they'll have live music from time-to-time. I'd keep tabs on their website if you're interested in that.\n\nAll in all, a WELCOME addition to the Lutz/LOL/Odessa area. See you there!",
"A friend of mine took me over here twice this past week.\n\nThe place is laid out like a pretty typical pub, with a great number of tables, booths and the like, a patio, and several TV's (including one above the urinal - extra marks for that!). On the right side when you walk in are about 6 huge fridges full of bottles of beer, and straight ahead towards the left is the main bar with about 40ish taps.\n\nThe menu has the taps first and then their bottle selection broken down by style. It would have been nice to see a breakdown by region as well.. They have a great selection to be sure, but the one issue that we did run into was many beers that were listed were not available. One thing that they do is list beers that are not yet tapped in the menu, which is frustrating as one keeps ordering beers that aren't tapped. A simple chalkboard would fix this.\n\nAll in all a good, but not great, beer bar.",
"They just got rid of their 6-pack carry-out discounts, so now you can expect to pay around $18 for a 6-pack of something like Corona. Absolutely insane and a bad business move IMO. Not to mention they charge South Tampa prices while being in Pasco. I know good beer isn't cheap, but when I went out for happy hour with my friend our bill was around $70 not including tip. Too much for this guy to go more than once every couple months.",
"I only been here once. \n\nI went with my boyfriend and my brother. It was okay. Nothing too special. But my boyfriend is European, so for him it was great. He was able to taste beers that he hadn't since he moved to the US. \n\nI thought they had a bigger collection, so did my brother. I would go again, just to make my boyfriend happy. But I don't think its a girl's hang out place.\n\nI found it kind of boring, and was unable to find any good deals, other than tasting different beers for the first time, if I keep going there that could get pretty old and loose its interest.\n\nBut my boyfriend would be able to enjoy it.",
"I am not local to the area so I cannot comment on how it compares to other options. I have been to many great beer taverns and this is not one. The staff really doesn't know the first thing about beer (like the difference between a lager and an ale). They miss categorized Boddingtons as a stout because it was using the same gas as the Guinness. \n\nI hear great things about World of Beer in the area and will give them a try next time.",
"I was visiting my sister in Florida and we went there with friends to get a couple of beers before dinner. For a small place they had a good selection of beers. If one can't find anything their they like then they are way to picky. I would have to say that the person who waited on us didn't know much about beer and that gets a point taken off and the service was slow, however, it was busy. Also, the programming on the TV was strange, they had one of those crazy cop chase shows on...strange for a place like that. Cold beer, great selection of beer, great atmosphere for hanging with friends. I would go back with out a doubt. We did not order any food so I can not comment on that.",
"Definitely not a dive bar, but a very nicely done sports/music bar. With over 50 beers on tap you are likely to find one you like, plus a bunch of bottled beer. Nice furniture and a great outside area. I didn't eat but the menu looked like typical pub food. A nice place to meet friends and have a beer.",
"I've driven by here many times on the way out of town. Always wanted to try it. Had dinner with a friend and his family last night and it was time for the guys to leave and have a couple beers and catch up. We decided on the Beer Garten since he lived relatively nearby. My suggestion. Unfortunately I started slamming it in a rough-draft yelp review in my mind before I'd even had my first sip of beer. Here's why:\nA bunch of early middle age Jeep bros playing cornhole (that beanbag tossing game) right in front of the entrance. The music. Just like 80's or 90's or something. I tried to remember what I heard, but it's just songs you've heard like over 100 times and don't realize it. Like \"Runaway Train\" and then \"Superman.\" Not sure if either of those played, I'm just saying. And they blast it. We sit at the bar and wait way too long for even a glance. That's when I started being negative about the place. Their beer choices are not interesting. It's indeed possible to have 40 taps and still not see one that really interests you. (I'm admittedly choosy). They have a whole wall of bottles, and same thing. Much more standard than you'd think. We finally settled on a beer after the dude without double eyebrow bar piercings (I mean, just, I don't know. 2 eyebrow bars? Is that what you call them? Sorry, I shouldn't be, um.....whatever, but still. Eyebrow bars.) came over and said they were out of that one. (Then erase it off the g-d board!) Another 3-4 mins. 'til he got back to us. There were like 4 taps that were not what they were, but had handwritten notes taped to the tap, that you had to squint to see. I'd say the wall hangings were boring, because they're just metal beer signs, but that's what everyplace does now, and you're starting to get my point anyway. It's just not a good thing when your list of chores for the day includes being sure to write a bad yelp review about a place.",
"Great beers on tap. Food is OK, but not the main draw. The bartenders are generally helpful with selections and encouraging you to try new things.",
"Horrible experience. Food is pretty bad for the cost. If you're in you mid-20s to mid-30s you'll feel like the youngest person in the place. Beer selection is decent, but The Pub or World of Beer have just as good if not better selections and are more comfortable to hang out."

"Regular American food here. \nWe are staying at the hyatt and went down to this place to get some sweets.\nWe tried the strawberry shortcake and was not disappointed. They prepared it to order so when it got to us it was hot, gooey and delicious! \nwe'll be sure to return to try some of their other food items :-)",
"Ordered a standard black coffee here. Took one sip and couldn't drink the rest. Horrible tasting coffee. Maybe it was a bad batch but my sister got some the next day, no change. Didn't order any food. Review is just about the coffee.",
"This was my 2nd stay in this hotel, and second time having breakfast here. I was pleasantly surprised both times with the food. I travel every week, and have pretty low expectations for hotel restaurants, expecting mostly stuff that is just reheated. But this all looked freshly cooked, and while to pastries may not be made in house, they were clearly freshly delivered this morning.\n\nI had a Prussian pastry, with a little chocolate on it, and it we as super flaky, and just the right amount of sweetness. I also orders biscuits & gravy that not only had a few slices of sausage in the gravy, but also had actual pulled pork in it too. It looked a little iffy at first, but tasted great. And the biscuits were perfectly cooked. Generally, biscuits and gravy end up with biscuits that are a little hard, but these cut easily and didn't crumble apart.\n\nThe only downside was I thought the coffee was just ok.\n\nI will definitely eat here again on my next visit.",
"We stayed here at Hyatt and had the buffet which was great and only $12! We are here again with no buffet but we don't mind because the egg white with spinach, pesto and roasted tomatoes was delicious! The original sandwich comes with alfalfa sprouts. I asked for sautéed spinach instead and they did it beautifully!the sandwich was $10 but worth it! The service was great too! Especially Alvin!",
"We ate here almost every day we stayed at the Hyatt. The first night it was out of convenience because they open at 6am and we were just getting in from a night out. The service and food were so good we went back. \n\nI felt their prices were a little high but not as high as normal hotel food. The time to make the food could be a little slow depending on the time of the day.\n\nEverything we ordered tasted great. My favorite items were lunch or dinner items.",
"Good waffles but the biscuits and gravy were just....overdone. interesting flavor..but not proper biscuits and gravy. There is no need to add fancy stuff to a staple.",
"My husband and I were guests of the Hyatt and came into Powdered Sugar at an in between time for lunch and dinner as we just got back from an excursion. We both ordered the make your own house salad and I got a side of gumbo. It was all delicious! The house salads were made with fresh ingredients and the dressings were delicious and not overwhelming. The gumbo was the best I had in NOLA! Would certainly recommend someone looking for a light lunch to check out Powdered Sugar.",
"The biscuits and gravy was delicious. Biscuits were moist and buttery. And the gravy! Ohhh the gravy was mouthwatering with the andouille sausage. Good stuff. You have to try this dish.",
"This place was a nice, mellow spot off the madness that calls itself the French Quarter: the adjacent bar has a sign off Iberville advertising cheap Skittle shots, but the drunks seldom venture inside.\n\nThe food itself was decent: it's possible to order from both Powdered Sugar and the adjacent bar (but avoid the bar food--nothing special...). The food was fresh-tastin', and we visited twice while in the area. If you're looking for a mellow place with a little class, give this place a try...",
"Nice coffee shop/lunch plate neatly tucked into the Hyatt French Quarter Hotel. The coffee is excellent- even though it's not chicory laden.\n\nSeating is comfortable and nicely spread out.\n\nIn addition to breakfast, we had a mid afternoon brunch of a very nicely prepared and presented turkey sandwich.\n\nYou order at the counter and the food is brought to you by a waiter."

"We live in the area and order take-out from here a lot. They have average Chinese food and sushi. It is reasonably priced and the staff is super nice. We have never sat down and eaten there since we live so close.\n\nI must say, the steamed dumplings are one of my favs.. and the diced chicken and hot peppers with peanuts is good too, nice and spicy. Sushi is decent but nothing that will blow you off your chair.",
"I used to work right down the street from this spot so I probably came here once a week over the course of three years for lunch. They serve primarily Chinese dishes but also have several Japanese items.\n\nIts strength was in the lunch special, which for in the neighborhood of $10 (less if you got a Chinese dish, sushi was higher) would get you a soup, salad, and entree. I don't think I ever came here for dinner so I can't comment on the pricing but for lunch it was plenty good. The sushi was always solid but pretty basic...don't expect to get any tako or roe or anything like that...its your usual tuna, salmon, yellowtail, etc. But its prepared well and fresh and that is what matters most.\n\nThe dining room was always bustling for the weekday lunch crowd but they kept things going smooth and quick, and even when \"full\" I don't recall every waiting for table nor waiting a long time for the food to arrive. There wasn't anything about the food that wasn't bettered somewhere else, but to get it all so easily and so close to work was the real draw, and the people are very friendly. Lets see...miso soup, salad with sesame dressing, and the sushi lunch please. Oh yea, they dip the fortune cookies in chocolate and then put them in the fridge, which is a nice touch. Two thumbs up.",
"We were looking for a nice Asian food restaurant and decided to give this one a try. We were very pleased with the place itself, nicely decorated, and it had a welcoming staff. We had a mixture of sushi and Chinese food and were very pleased with the results. It has a great price range and wine menu. The food was very tasty and the pictures on the menu helped identify the lesser known plates of Chinese cuisine.",
"Went here for lunch and was disappointed in the quality of the food. It was pretty sad since the presentation was pretty good. Turns out, the lunch specials aren't that great compared to other places in the area.",
"A reasonable place for the genera of food. They have good portions and prepare the rice properly. I have had Sushi and it is prepared well and presented in fashion.",
"I consider the lotus inn a staple restaurant. Due to location, cost, and comfort. It doesn't overwelm you like some, but you don't feel 100 years old going there. It is nice, clean spot, and part of that late 90's early 2k's wave of Japanese and Chinesse in one location.\nThey also have bubble tea, which is important to note if your looking for bubble tea.\n\nWe have had sushi here (which is goo) as well as traditional chinese and japanese dishes.\n\nFew notes:\nSushi is good, qulaity and quantity, both traditional and \"crazy\" rolls.\ntempura is good, not over gressy, very crispy\nand this time i tried teh Hawaiian Pinapple shrimp. it was really good.",
"Great for a quick lunch!",
"Very good lunch, very good service and we got a free calendar (everyone at the table) since it's close to new years eve (american new year). I had U8. which was a fried udon noodle dish with shrimp and a couple rolls of sushi, everything was quite tasty.",
"If you cannot have a lot of salt make sure to ask them to not put to much in your dish. I had to keep well hydrated today as I think they put enough in my meal to melt a skating rink. Was kind of expensive too.",
"I hadn't been here in a while, I used to get the sushi a lot, but today I went over to the Chinese side of the menu. This restaurant is large and airy, and the service is, well, incredible.\n\nIt's kinda cool when you think about it, practically next door is the Cosi, which has a line at lunch, then good luck finding a table, then you wait for your sandwich. Probably at least 10 to 15 minutes, and with drink it's around $10.\n\nAt the Lotus Inn I got hot tea within 60 seconds, ordered, got the wonton soup and salad in 3 minutes, then less than 10 minutes later the Kung Pao chicken! And the whole thing was $10! The chicken was done perfectly, not dried out and rubbery. Spice level was within range of what you expect.\n\nAmazing."

"Some braniacs at the owners level must have agreed that the fresh parmigiana cheese was too expensive so now it is the crappy powdered stuff which they seem to use in all the dishes because everything just tastes different. I miss the sharp tangy quality to their salads and pastas. I used to love going here and now I am about done. I suggest they go back to the good stuff.",
"Take an Imo's, add a few meat dishes, some crappy plastic tablecloths and indifferent service and viola! Pasta House! It's just so unnecessary with about 1000 other Italian restaurants in St. Louis. \n\nIWhen you walk in and look around, you know there is just no way you're going to have a great meal here. The ambiance is downright crippling. Cheap and dated sums it up nicely. Adding to the downward spiral, the young server was oddly neutral. I guess enthusiasm is frowned upon - don't want to spoil the drab look and feel of the place, I guess. \n\nAfter looking at the menu for a bit, I asked my wife what looked good. She just scrunched her face. I was also coming up blank. Even though they offer all the standard Italian fare, some of which we usually like, we just weren't reading these menu items and envisioning sometihng delicious. Prices were not especially cheap, either. Surprisingly, though, the food ended up being okay, probably worthy of three stars. The salads are still pretty good - same as they ever were, better than a lot of other places. I'd really love to be able to make it at home. We also tried a chicken dish and mac and cheese. The chicken was tender and had a nice charred taste - not bad. The mac and cheese was not bad either, but didn't appeal to our little one. The flavor was maybe too interesting. She kept saying it wasn't as good as the box kind. It is, trust me.\n\nAll in all, this Pasta House only exists to bridge the gap between Denny's and Olive Garden.",
"This place to me is below average in service and food. Have never had a good experience at this location.",
"I have never been impressed with this location. Service this time seemed slow and lacking. Food came out lukewarm. Won't be back anytime soon .",
"I've been here too many times to count, so obviously I can't say it's bad. I do think Pasta House has great Garlic Cheese Bread, Cannelloni, and Lasagna. These are usually the things I will order when I go. The salad isn't bad, but my wife really likes it. The fact is this place is very close to home so we don't mind coming here. The main negative about any Pasta House location is that they're more expensive than most of the places on The Hill, and only about half as good. For chain pasta, I probably prefer Olive Garden over Pasta House, but usually end up at Pasta House out of convenience.",
"Went to Pasta house for the first time last night. I like the location and I even like the atmosphere of this place. My Chianti was delicious and my daughter got the lambrusco and liked it a lot (too sweet for me)....our meatball appetizer was okay and we ordered the side salads --pasta con broccoli, and some type of penne romo..overall---I was hoping the entire time for more flavor...more flavor...more flavor....I thought all the food was just very bland....How do you make Italian food bland? they have such wonderful seasonings to work with....I was expecting stronger and more pungent flavors of cheese and spice...My server was awesome and she did a fantastic job.",
"They are in too much of a hurry to get the food out and there is no quality control. My daughters eggplant parm. was undercooked and cold in middle, and her side of broccoli was still hard and flavorless, we hadnt even gotten 1/2 way thru the mushy salad so why hurry the food, let it cook! i ordered the cesar salad for a low carb option and it was flavorless! How can you mess up cesar? They keep trying to bring you overcooked rolls i guess to fill you up so you wont notice the taste. We have never even had lunch for less than 25 dollars here and dinner is always at least 45. Skip this place they are all about the money and there are better choices in st louis.",
"This was our first and last time going to the Pasta House Co. The restaurant had a dirty, greasy feel to it. Our waiter was really nice but the food was not. The salad was swimming with dressing, the Fettuccine Alfredo tasted like it came from a jar. My kids had the pizza and they said it was good but it looked like any normal kids pizza. It was way overpriced, we had two adult meals and 2 kids meals that cost us $69. We could've went across the street to Texas Roadhouse and had two excellent steaks plus kids meals for that price. If you are in the mood for Italian, take the extra 15 mins to drive to Fenton to go to Olive Garden.",
"I had always have visited the Pasta House Company, ever since this restaurant was in the Schnuck's shopping center in Main Arnold. \nNow, the restaurant has moved to the newest shopping district in Arnold, and most of their recipes have not changed.\nFor this review, I will be focusing on my most recent visit, which was not very disappointing at all. Our server was amazing, took time out of her busy lunch hour to provide us with personalized service, and was quick with drink refills and pit stops filled with the delicious pasta house bread, which came by always piping hot and fresh from the oven.\nFor me, I ordered their newest pulled pork sandwich, which was topped with their famous salad, and my friend ordered a meatball sandwhich. I ordered mine to go along with a white pasta side and the delicious salad. My friend's meatball order was ordered with fries. \nThe salad is always the best part of the intro meal, including the hot bread. It is not soggy, like some people think, the lettuce was crisp and had the perfect amount of italian dressing. \nThe pulled pork sandwich surprised me. The meat was very tender and juicy. In addition, the meat was spiced like a pork sausage, very flavorful.\nMy friend has also exclaimed that the meatball sub sandwich had a lot of garlic for all you garlic fans out there.\nWe ended up finishing our meal with the cheesecake sundae. This was the disappointing part of the meal as we expected the cheesecake to be rich and thick, like a baked cheesecake, but what came to our table was a jello no bake cheesecake, not even worth the $5 price.\nI recommend the lunch menu items, but not the desserts unfortunately.",
"I had called ahead and was impressed by the gentleman on the phone. We dined on the three course meal. The price was fair, but the food was average. The salad appeared to have been sitting in the cooler a while, as it was still crisp but well marinated. My husband's pasta had an okay amount of veggies but I felt mine ran short. Windows had an appearance that appeared dirty. Manager greeted us at the door but never came to table. My husband heard him discussing with the greeter that she needed to smile. Everyone was friendly, however. Overall, it was more like a fastfood experience with a server. Very little attention to details in food presentation or ambiance."

"I loooove Lyn's. It's my absolute favorite food truck at Penn. The food is cheap, fresh, and consistently delicious: bacon egg and cheese on a long hoagie roll used to be only $2.75 (might be $3 now, but that's still awesome for how huge this sandwich is). Their grilled chicken pita/other grilled chicken sandwiches are AMAZING. I think they put crack in their honey mustard sauce, cause I'm not usually a fan of honey mustard but it's AWESOME here, so you MUST get it on your chicken. They also make a great cheesesteak (try it with sriracha sauce), and for you vegetarians out there they make a killer spinach-eggplant parm. \n\nYou pretty much can't go wrong with anything you order here. Lyn is always super sweet and friendly, unlike a lot of food truck proprietors (yes, I'm talking about you, Yue Kee), and they get your order out quickly. \n\nI think there are also secret items not on the menu. Last time I was there, I heard whispers about \"The Line\". What that is, I have no idea, but I'm sure it's delicious. You'll just have to go to Lyn's and order one to find out.",
"Lyn's is one of my favorite food trucks. This truck serves standard American food, like breakfast sandwiches, cheesesteaks, and grilled chicken sandwiches. But my favorite, hands down, is the chicken salad sandwich. The bread is soft and fluffy, and the chicken salad is sublime!! It's also ridiculously large and can feed two people. Prices are low, so I never felt guilty for eating here at least 2x/week.\n\nThe chicken salad proves there must be a God, because something this delicious could not have been made by mere mortals. Yum!!",
"Awesome! I go twice a week - prices are great, service always good, and the food is delicious. For the price, coupled with speed -- very few can beat it.\n\nShe even knows me- so i don't even have to order anymore, just a quick look and knows that I am \"2 egg, cheese, and bacon bagels on a cinnamon raisin\" How cute is that, eh! \n\nFantastic, simply amazing -- please, definietly, try it out; and yes - it can get packed from 10-12; just as a warning-but well worth the wait!",
"Oh my goodness. The best food cart on Spruce St. and in the general UPenn vicinity. I go way too many times during the week. \n\nMy usual order is the spinach eggplant parmesan sandwich on the long roll and I occasionally mix it up with the chicken caesar salad. Lyn and Quan only serve quality food and are super friendly and efficient as well!",
"amazing food, polite owners, and dirt cheap prices. I go here all the time and would never dream of stopping. If I attempted to write a review of my love for Lyn's, it would go on for pages because I just love everything about it! My standard is bacon, egg, and cheese on a long roll, seasoned with salt and pepper and a squirt of ketchup. The scrambled eggs are piping hot from the grill, melting the American cheese perfectly and serving as a good contrast to the hot, crunchy bacon. The backdrop of the fluffy, hearty bread of the long roll is perfect. I'm certain I could eat this king of breakfast sandwiches all day at all hours (which...I do, given they serve breakfast all day until they leave at around 3pm - how lucky for me!). A super filling sandwich for just $3 is also one of the best deals to be found in U City. I had a Bui's bacon egg and cheese sandwich once and it can't even hold a candle to Lyn's. Their eggplant parm sandwich with spinach is also killer. Find them on 36th and Spruce, right outside the entrance to the Lower Quad at UPenn, and situated close to HUP and the medical school.",
"Lyn's was recommended to me by a friend, and I was skeptical how good a sandwich food truck could possibly be. After verifying with yelp, I decided to try Lyn's for lunch today and I'm pleasantly surprised.\n\nI had the chicken special with sweet peppers - great flavors, fresh, and filling. I had a hard time trying to maneuver my sandwich because it was so big. They can also customize your sandwich as my boyfriend added lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce to his meatball parmesan. Turnover is relatively fast. We went during the lunch rush and probably waited just over 5 min for 2 sandwiches. On average, we spent less than $5 per person for lunch. I will definitely come back!",
"I love Lyn's!\n\nThey do all kinds of sandwiches -- it's simple, standard stuff you see at a food cart, but they just do everything really well. Tasty and satisfying. Real food. Actual grilled chicken (not some kind of chicken-like meat composite) -- great in a pita with honey mustard. Eggplant Spinach parm is great. Sausage sandwich with fried peppers, onions. Egg white omelette for a breakfast sandwich. It's all good.\n\nFast friendly service. They're very efficient, so it's reasonably fast even with a long line.",
"I was recommended to try Lyn's several years ago by my friends, who all said it was one of the best food trucks by my school. Since then, Lyn's has become one of my favorite food trucks in the University City area. If you're ever in a rush to work, have only a couple quarters in your pocket, or just want a good hearty meal for 1/3 of the cost of other restaurants in an area, Lyn's is definitely the place to go. I primarily go for their breakfast food, and ask for a sausage egg and cheese on a long roll, which usually comes out in under 5 minutes. This extraordinarily cheap sandwich can usually last me through breakfast and half of lunch (depending on how hungry I am at the time). To add, the woman who usually takes the orders is very nice, and has a darn good memory of customers. If you want a decent sandwich and want to spend next to nothing, I would definitely recommend this food truck.",
"Of course I discover this place JUST BEFORE they go on vacation for the winter. Now I have to wait a month before I can get another delicious Eggplant Spinach Parm pita. At $3.50, I can't think of a better takeout lunch. The wait can be a bit long when there's a line, just warning you. Probably not the best place to go if you're looking for food in a hurry.\n\nI can't wait till they reopen in January and I can get the big Eggplant Parm sandwich this time.",
"Lyn's is a great place to get a cheap breakfast or lunch. They have egg, cheese, and meat sandwiches (bacon, sausage, or steak) on a long hoagie roll for only 3 dollars! That's cheaper than anywhere else on campus, and the food is just as good, if not better. \n\nA popular sandwich that's not on the menu is the \"White Lion.\" I believe it's chicken, egg whites, onions, and spinach. I definitely recommend trying that one out."

"The Selfie Sub sandwiches are fresh and delicious. My wife and I are addicted to them and they are a must at least once a week. Try the 12\" Bacon, Cheese and Egg....or the Philly Cheese Steak w/mushrooms, onions & provolone mmmmm. I'm fairly new to the Riverview area and very happy to have found Chris & his dad Dave's \"Selfie Subs\" I Highly recommend it to all of you...a must try!!",
"I'm addicted to their Cuban sandwiches!! Bread is always fresh and the family is so nice. Anytime I have out of state visitors I make sure this is one of our stops.",
"I love these sandwiches. I have had the pastrami and the breakfast sub, both huge and flavor full. I will be posting pictures, soon. A good family sub shop, with great service and prices. Also the quality of meats are very good. That's, why I'm giving them 5 stars, those are qualities that customers are looking for and they have it, at this little sub shop located in a gas station.",
"Great selection of subs & sandwiches, fast, friendly service and a really good Italian sub...yum!\nWell worth my search for this little place, inside a nondescript gas/convienence store.",
"Amazing subs and great service! By far the best thing to ever touch my lips! Favorites are the cuban or the DLo Bomber.",
"Sooooo good!! Got the Cuban and steak and cheese and my mouth is still watering!! The woman is super sweet, i got great service, huge subs, and I'll deff be going back!!",
"Fresh bread baked on site daily. Very good sandwiches. They weren't kidding when they advertise #1 Cuban and #1 Philly. No place beats them.",
"Delicious subs! I love the pastrami and my husband loves their steak and cheese as well as the breakfast sandwiches.",
"The sandwiches are a great value! You get a large sub with plenty of meat for a good price. The Steak and Cheese is one of my favorites here.",
"One of my favorite sandwich shops. Their breakfast subs are excellent and so are all their others. The family run business is fast friendly and reasonably priced. The portions are huge. The half sandwiches are about the size of the large ones elsewhere. I typically get wholes and have at least the other half or more for another meal. Everything is to go since I do not recall any seating. The business is tucked inside a gas station/convenience store, but don't let that fool you or put you off. If you frequent the place during the week, calling ahead to place your order is a great idea. I am typically in and out within minutes."

"New sushi place in town? $1 sushi boats! We had to try it out immediately, so Dad & I had a late lunch at their Grand Opening.\n\nWe got there around 1, and all the boats were empty. It's OK, we don't mind waiting for a good thing. There were three sushi chefs in the peninsula surrounded by the boats, and they got cranking!\n\nThe chefs asked what each diner liked, and made sushi accordingly. Some they handed right to us, and others they placed on the boats. In addition to sushi, $1 items also included seaweed salad and tako (octopus) salad. For those not into the 'boat' offerings, they have a full menu.\n\nService was very good on our first visit. My soda was kept full.\n\nSubsequent visits have left us disappointed. Their service has gone downhill, and they've been out of various items like seaweed salad, out of tako salad, etc. Guess we'll keep getting our dollar sushi at Sakana or hitting the AYCE spots Yoi Tomo or IOU.",
"I am sorry to say that this was the worst Sushi Bar I have ever been to. It looked like they cut the top and the bottom of the Maki Sushi roll and put the scrap Sushi's on the boats. The boats had poor choices of sushi, including some Octopus that probably have been going around the conveyer belf since early am... Ofcourse, if you want the true fresh fish Sushi such as Tuna, Salmon, Roes, it will cost $3 and above for 2 pieces. Did not care too much about the atmosphere of Shige Express either. The chef's acted like we were bothering them on their lunch break..like it was a hassel to be serving the customers. When asked what each sushi dishes contained as my husband has allergies to shrimp, he had to ask another chef for he was not sure what the sushi contained! When asked about another boat, he didn't know it contained a Chicken dish. Not very kid friendly place either..my 12 year old felt uncomfortable and wanted to get out ASAP. Did not know until we paid our bill that we could've ordered from Shige Teriyaki menu. We will probably never go back to Shige Express again.",
"The sushi was really good and the servers and chefs are really nice, really nice atmosphere, I give it two stars because of the service. It took forever for us to get our drinks, and even longer to get our order in. The place is really cramped. If you want to actually eat, I suggest sitting at the bar on the left side when you first walk in. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the food to come around to you, by then the boats will be empty, and you don't have a chance of grabbing what you want, the chefs only like to refill the boats on the left. Our order was forgotten three different times. We kept having to ask the waitress where our food was.\nMy friend and I didn't eat much, because it took so long to get our food, we were tired of waiting, the other customers around us were getting frustrated as well for the same reasons. \nOther than all of that, the waitresses were really sweet, and nice. The chefs were nice. The food was good. I guess you just have to go when they are slow and can actually give you attention. I'll give this place another try..",
"The food was great, but the service lacked greatly. They had to run across the street to refill our sodas, and I finally got so thirsty I just ordered water, which came with 3 pieces of ices and three floating \"unknown\" objects. Their sushi-boat concept is a cool idea, but they don't explain it to you so we didn't know how it worked until we had spent the money on rolls. I'm not a sushi expert, but I guess I was supposed to know how it worked. The service was slow, and there was nothing telling us what each roll was on the boat. I would NOT suggest this for a lunch-hour, you won't get in and out in your hour.",
"Unfortunately the amount of boats you have to eat to get a decent amount of sushi makes the deal not a cheap option. At most all you can eat sushi places it is about $18 at lunch and for dinner its about $25. That may seem pricey but if you think that when you order from a all you can eat you get a couple of rolls at a time which normally have about 8-10 pieces per roll. I know when we go eat we eat about 3-4 rolls and a couple of orders of nigiri ( we skip a couple of meals to fit it all). So that's about 30-40 pieces not counting the nigiri. Divide that by two ( you get two pieces at a time for a $1 at Shiges) and that's about $15-$20 already maybe adding about $5-$10 for the nigiri that is $20-$30 ( which they had no nigiri on the boats the entire time we were there).\n So now you can see the prices may look the same during dinner time at shiges vs. all you can eat but during lunch its obviously not. Adding to that the quality is completely different...Shiges use a ton of rice and very little fish in their $1 sushi vs. IOU uses more fish and a normal amount of rice. IOU you can choose your rolls and nigiri where at Shiges you can ask for something there but it is not a full roll and no nigiri. So I guess it depends if you want a few pieces of sushi for $1 then this place would work and you can order rolls for regular price which are slightly pricey but we ordered one and the rice vs. fish ratio seemed better and tasted fine. Do not go to stuff yourself up with sushi you will spend more then you would at your typical all you can eat.\n Something I would like to mention though is they have the best customer service from any place that I have gone to including non-sushi places. Customer service is very important to me considering I go out to eat nowadays as a treat and don't like having to deal with bad customer service. So yes I will go back to eat maybe not for the $1 boats but for a quick roll or order from the Shige Teriyaki which they will deliver over if you rather have that ( which the food there is very good).",
"When I left the restaurant, I was prepared to give it just two stars. However, the food was good enough that I am willing to forgive the terrible (lack of) service, and the fact that I had to secure napkins, chopsticks and wasabi for our 3-person party. Walking into a sushi-boat facility starving is the best way to go. Instant gratification with relatively great sushi (face it: there are not many good sushi joints in the Treasure Valley). The downfall for me was when I was chatting with our sushi maker/manager, who was quite busy, and noticing him serving what appeared to be his friends the newest sushi. That was forgivable, until my boyfriend asked him for some Sirachi sauce for his Nigiri and the manager was short with him, saying, \"I'm kind of busy here.\" So, as has been said in other reviews, they appear understaffed or simply unprepared for how popular they are. After the rush, the manager did come over and make nice with us. Oh, one downfall: the sake (salmon) was chewy and sinewy. As a obsessive salmon/sake eater, I was quite disappointed. They didn't take it off my bill, but they did say they would compensate me next time I came in. Which I definitely will! For a nice spicy tuna roll, a few different tasty sauces, and the joy of plucking little goodies of the sushi boats, I will definitely be back. A few flaws are forgivable.",
"This review focuses on the sushi at Shige Express. Two words: fast food. Much of the sushi rolls here follow the notion that more is better. It seems that there are 2 kinds of sushi fans: those who prefer simplicity and those who prefer complexity. The boat offerings ($1 per plate) lacked variety and appeal. The majority of sushi contained shrimp or cooked fish and a mayonnaise-based sauce. My date and I found ourselves mid-visit without anything to eat. \nPROS:\n--Sushi chefs were relatively friendly\n--Ample seating\n\nCONS:\n--Too few servers on duty. I ordered Miso Soup and never received it, probably because the one server was overwhelmed.\n--Disappointing sushi rolls. The rice was not short-grain and wasn't true sushi rice (also not slightly sweet which is key). If you like your sushi to pack a punch and leave you with a gut bomb, you'll probably like the decadent offerings here. I ordered a roll for $10.95 which was described as having multiple types of fish, avocado, and roe. Nowhere in the description did it state that the entire thing was deep fried. It arrived looking like a funky burrito. The two sauces drizzled atop over-complicated its flavor profile. That raw fish I was looking forward to? The deep fryer cooked it. Also, the avocado made only a brief appearance--I could hardly detect it. An overabundance of rice (probably to cut costs) made the price unreasonable. \n--Sushi boat offerings lacked appeal and variety. \n\n\nMy search continues for authentic sushi in the Treasure Valley.",
"My daughter and have tried this location 3 times now. While I love the downtown Boise location, this one has been a disappointment . Every time we have been there, we always waited for the chefs to make enough rolls to keep up with the demand. The rolls are very basic, and come smothered with mayo. The service is also very poor. It might be ok for the casual \"sushi\" fan, but we won't be going back.",
"We noticed that their sign on the door said they open at 5pm. It was 4:51 and the door was unlocked so we went in. Before we could walk in the chef rudely said ''we don't open untill 5''. Really? We couldn't wait inside for 9 minutes? Horrible customer service in my opinion. We ended up going someplace else and won't be back.",
"Shige Express became increasingly disappointing with each visit. I've been there a total of 4 times. I'm not going back.\n\nI understand Shige is supposed to be a place to get cheap sushi; therefore, I did lower my expectations. And kept lowering them.\n\nGenerally, I'm happy with little boats of \"okay\" sushi, as long as they come round consistently. I'm hungry. I know I'm not in for, say, Happy Fish - or any sushi place on the left or right coasts.\n\nEach time I've been here, the \"okay\" (never delectable) sushi was put out inconsistently and harried-ly.\n\nThe service was less than stellar each time. We've had to ask for: 1) wasabi (!); 2) wasabi that wasn't weirdly stale (?); and, 3) napkins and chopsticks. Often, twice, with response by a frantic waitstaff.\n\nTwice, I've been told, \"We can only go so fast!\" by a sweaty, out of breath, irritated chef or sous-chef. And that's when following up on a special order (why even have them on the menu?) that hadn't arrived after 20 minutes. Once, the chef seemed to understand I was irritated by his response, and attempted to hug me at the end. Really? I prefer my chefs distant, focused and fabulous."

"Sub-par food. Very nice waitresses.\n\nI went with a group, so I was able to try a few different things. I ordered the catfish; it was bland and watery. Do not order this.\n\nI also tried the buffalo meatloaf and the fish & chips and they were both completely uninteresting.\n\nI tried the Buffalo Bangers which are \"Homemade Buffalo sausage grilled and topped with carmelized onions n sweet peppers.\" I wish I would have ordered them because they were quite good.\n\nIn general, the food was nothing spectacular. I probably won't be going back.",
"There are three things that are good here: the buffalo bangers, the mussels and the beer can chicken. If you order these items, you will be happy because they are excellent. I cannot give high reviews to the rest of the menu as I have not tried everything, and the items I have tried - fish and chips and the shrooms - were not to my liking, as they were bland and drenched in oil. I will come back for the aforementioned excellent items, but am wary of venturing further.",
"Angus melt and \"Buffalo Drool\" beer was very good. Seafood seems like an odd choice at such a place. Price was right. Service was decent. I will be back. Also, they have a 10% off coupon on their website right now.",
"the menu was diverse enough and the service and atmosphere was decent enough that we'll likely try again, but this trip was largely a \"miss.\" i understand that every restaurant has its specialties, but when you have buffalo in your name, you might want to make sure the buffalo burgers and buffalo wings are worthy. the burgers were over-cooked and boring. the wings were worthy of a \"25-cent wing night\" at a sports bar. not quite imo's-bad, but not much better. they made me want growlers or cullpeppers. the homemade potatochips were worthy, though, and like the other reviewers have mentioned, the staff is friendly and professional.\n\nalso, no highchairs.",
"We just had their microbrew flight of beers. The chili beer was the only unique one. It made the back of my throat burn a little, but in a good way :) \n\nThe service was great!\n\nI would drink here and eat at Pappy's next door.",
"I've been here several times in an attempt to sample the menu in its entirety. The first time, I tried the quesadillas, which were a bit greasy at the end (it has the fast-food effect: gets greasy as it gets cold), but it wasn't bad for the price ($6.50 and filling).\nNext time was the buffalo burger, which I really enjoyed. It was a handful, as most burgers should be. A bit more pricey (I think 7.50 or so), but seemed well worth it.",
"I've been to Buffalo Brewing Co three times. My first experience was for lunch. I ordered the Bangers and Mash, which is sausages (bangers) served in or with mashed potatoes. The bangers at Buffalo were made from a mixture of bison meat and pork. While tasty, they were very tough. I was not impressed with any of the food items I saw coming out of the kitchen. I have also tried their potato chip appetizer that is covered in cheese and bacon; the cheese wasnt melted all the way. I dont think Buffalo Brewing is the place to go for lunch or dinner.\n\nThe beer is pretty good. I first had it at the St. Louis Micro Brew Fest in 2008. The Buffalo Drool is pretty good for a dark ale. I tried the beer flight on my last visit and had a few new beers which were not on the menu. One was a dark vanilla ale which was very tasty, and the other was said to be a Belgian style beer. The Belgian no where close to any Belgian beer I have had before. Later that same visit I over heard the bartender telling a customer that the beer was more of a darker color hefeweizen. The chili beer was unique, but I was glad I only had a sample size glass.",
"The \"Buffalo Drool\" is simply the best micro brew I've ever tasted. I've been for \"happy hour\" several times and really enjoyed the appetizer menu. Nachos were AWSOME! BBQ is sweet & tangy, what I would call St. Louis style. Love it.",
"Buffalo drool was good. My buffalo burger was bit on the salty side, but complimented the beer very well. It came with a side of chips which were like kettle chips and i chose mac and cheese.\n\nI know i was in Cards country, but the NBA finals were on and nobody was watching the already decided baseball game, and they didn't want to change the channel until the game was done. \n\nHonestly, we went here looking for Pappy's Smokehouse, which we later learned was in the same building, but in the back. We turned into this place instead, but decided it looked cool enough to stay. Yummy beer, ok food, friendly waitress- this place is A-OK.",
"Buffalo Brewing Co. is a must-do in St. Louis! My husband and I found Buffalo Brewing Co by accident on a recent visit to St. Louis. We were looking for Pappy's as others have mentioned, but when we found that it was already closed for the evening, we decided to stop into Buffalo Brewing Co to grab a beer and plan our next move. We sat up at the bar and we were quickly greeted by a very friendly bartender who explained all of the on-site brewed beers to us. Being self-professed beer connoisseurs, my husband had the IPA and I had the Moose Drool. Fabulous! Fortunately for us, we decided to get some food and ordered the Buffalo Stack nachos. They were nachos covered in all the usual toppings in addition to Buffalo meat chili. They were SO GOOD! The bartender and the owner continued to bring us samples of all of their beers and they were all great including a unique beer called Chili Beer which was a basic pale ale with a not so basic spicy finish. We finished the evening off with the warm carrot cake which was also wonderful! This was a great find and well worth checking out whether you live in St. Louis or are just passing through. Any reviewers who did not love this place are either grumpy, have no idea what good beer is, or both!"

"Just like any other Sbux. No unique charm but my drink was up quickly.",
"I love coffee. Hold all the flavors, sugary additives, whip creams and foo foo stuff. Just coffee. I love all roasts, all boldness, and most any type of beans. Starbucks coffee is ok. Their dark roast is a bit too burnt flavored (just not well done... or too well done i guess). Their medium roasts are decent. If you are a real coffee lover, I'm not sure starbucks is for you. If you like desert drinks, this is your place.",
"My local Starbucks. Great staff, very friendly. The store is a bit small if you plan to hang out and do some work / have a meeting, etc. But, they have made the best out of the space. It is also right next door to the best doughnuts in town (Nicola's), so grab a Starbucks and some Nicola's doughnuts and you are SET!",
"I know I may be stoned for saying this, especially on a review for Starbucks... but I don't like coffee. (Don't hurt me!) \nI actually go for the hot chocolate. I like the taste of it and I can get a muffin or scone on the side. \nVery good staff, but the comments about size in the other reviews are spot on. However, its not like they can bust down a wall and expand into the parking lot!",
"It's Starbucks . . . nothing really bad to say. Pumpkin bread is amazing!!",
"Teenage girl barista chatting with teenage girl customers for three minutes about nothing in particular while I thought their coffees were being made. Then she took their orders. Reminded me of the \"erhmagerd\" meme. And I was jetlagged. Just did a redeye. And desperately in need of coffee. \n\nI was seconds away from throwing tables.\n\nFINALLY got to place my order and it was a standard interaction from that point forward. But seriously, talk to your friends in study hall, not when there's a line in a coffee shop on a REALLY slow morning.",
"So I come here quite often and today I noticed on the menu that there was a new \"Caramel Flan Latte\" so I figured I'd try it. I ordered it and I overheard the barista telling the guy who rung me up that she doesn't know how to make it. The guy then asks another employee if she knew whether or not they had the recipe...Meanwhile I'm asking myself, \"Am I at Starbucks or the local 7-11?!\" To make a long story short, I settled for my usual order and they seemed rather relieved. I was tempted to give them the suggestion of taking it off of their menu since no one knew how to make it. I'm shocked that Starbucks would allow this amateur move for themselves and their reputation.",
"The people are always nice but I took away a star because they forget to stock up on cinnamon. They would go days without cinnamon. Note there's a grocery store within walking distance and a Sam's Warehouse less than 2 miles away on the same street.",
"My friend and I met here for coffee. The cashier was extremely rude. She was cussing as she rung up my friend and snatched my card from me when I was paying. Needless to say, she is always rude. That can't be good for business. Lets also talk about the guy who took my drink order. It seemed to me like he was hard of hearing. I said \"Skinny caramel latte\" maybe 5 times and he still wrote it wrong on the cup and before I was even telling him additional things for my drink and he gave it to the barista as I was telling him that I wasn't finished. I went over to the barista and told him what I wanted and he was very nice and apologized because he saw what had happened. We couldn't see a manager on duty to tell this to, so I figured a review would do.",
"This is MY Starbucks as in I always come to this one. And for that reason they know me and remember what I like and call me by name. It's always clean and the baristas are friendly and courteous. I wish I would remember to check in every time I come, cuz I'd probably be some type of Grand Puba of Yelp by now!"

"Wow. I can't even believe I'm only giving this place 4 stars.\n\nWe went here for my birthday dinner last night. Since it's the top rated restaurant in Philly, I guess I had high expectations. And I just ate at Le Bec Fin a few weeks ago, so I have that fresh in my memory.\n\nThe space is beautiful - The flower arrangements were to die for. It is very elegant, even if you still know you're in a hotel restaurant. Why can't hotel restaurants break free of that? \n\nThe service was excellent. Not once did we want for anything. We did the 6 course chef's tasting with wine pairing, and the courses were brought out at a good (not rushed) pace, which actually allowed us to finish our wines for each. (I hate when I do a wine pairing and I have 3 partially drunk glasses of wine in front of me.) The wines with the pairing were very good - 2 California and 3 French. The Sommelier was very informative, obviously very excited about the wines, knew it all about the grape, region, etc. Hubby and I know a fair deal about wine and at first we thought he was talking down to us, but then realized that he was just giving us the whole scoop.\n\nThe food. Maybe I'm just too hard to impress. Or maybe this particular menu wasn't my taste. But reading the descriptions on the menu, it certainly sounded like it was right up my alley. Not once when I took a bite was I \"OMG this is AMAZING.\" That's kind of the reaction I'm looking for at a restaurant of this caliber. Actually I take that back - once I got that reaction. But only because the course included a hunk of fois gras, which I ate in one bite and since it was fois gras, was of course amazing. The food was very good, but in my opinion not the best in Philly by any stretch.\n\nHubby loved it. But his palate doesn't crave the savory as much as mine. I have to say, I like Le Bec much better. There, every course elicited the response I was looking for.\n\nSo I deducted 1 star because I wasn't wowed.",
"I sort of felt like My Fair Lady when I went to the Fountain with TK and his parents for his birthday. I am pretty unaccustomed to having my seat pulled out and pushed in for me and having food appear and empty plates disappear seemingly by magic. I'm not saying I didn't like it--it made me feel like a princess. \n\nThe food was delicious and the presentation creative and beautiful. I had a mediterrenean salad with proscuitto that looked like a palm tree. The butternut squash soup with duck confit was creamy nutty goodness in the most delicate shade of salmon--it just about melted on my tounge. I had veal for my entree and it was like buttah.\n\nWhat was most unusual was the random courses that came unordered--the canopaise, the lightest and most pleasantly flavored smoked salmon I've ever had -- just appeared before me. The same with a small-bite desert which I couldn't eat but looked really good.\n\nHonestly, everything was excellent. It was a little ostentateous for my humble, boho tastebuds, but I got over that and thoroughly enjoyed it.",
"I was lucky to have many free lunches here. I worked my way through the menu, but I can say I ever found anything that was actually good. If I had to pay for it myself I doubt I would have gone more than once. Very nice ambiance for lunch, enjoy.",
"i had one of the best meals here! i got the lamb something and it was perfect. and i remember the coffee being above the typical \"good coffee at a nice restaurant.\" jacket required.",
"Best restaurant in Philadelphia. The dining area is very spacious with the tables being far apart giving the impression you are eating with your party alone. Not as opulent as Le Bec Fin, but still a beautiful dining area. The staff is very attentive, but yet not overbearing. I went for dinner so don't know how it is during brunch, but I'm sure it's just as good. It's expensive, but if you got the cash the food alone is worth every penny.",
"Christmas Day brunch at The Fountain was very good, and included a great selection of raw bar items, salads, cheeses, pates, caviars with blini and desserts along with a choice of entree. Nothing was outstanding but it was all very good. Great service, excellent bellinis.",
"The Fountain is beautiful, the service is impeccable, and the food is excellent. One cannot help but compare it to Le Bec-Fin and Lacroix, two other French restaurants in its class that I also love. I love the atmosphere of Le Bec-Fin and I love the food at Lacroix; The Fountain sits comfortably between the two. \"Enjoy your dinner and evening, Mrs. Din,\" our host who seated us said. My Sliced Muscovy Duck Breast with Foie Gras appetizer will satisfy the most finicky duck lover who craves large tender, juicy pieces of duck. My Double Lamb Chop and Petit Shank entree was equally mouth-watering. The two meats were each accompanied with different potato preparations that contrasted one another and yet somehow all worked together in a soft side, firm side presentation. Sandy loved her lamb dish as well and Frank had an orgasmic moment wth his beef filet. Sandy also enjoyed the Wild Alaskan Halibut Ceviche and Jumbo Lump Crab, Artichoke, and Leek Tart, which were both divine from what I had sampled. Everyone from our host to our waiter and servers, except for perhaps one African woman who seemed a little snippy, was outstanding.",
"Very nice dining experience ......\n\nMy wife and I enjoyed a great meal there ... She had the \"wedge\" salad and lamb soup, and was totally full. I had the veal tenderloin, and it was cooked perfectly. The mix of unique flavors and textures in all of our dishes was wonderful, and perfectly developed. It was a true dining experience. At least one of your \"dining adventures\" in Philadelphia should include this restaurant.",
"Unbelievably fine dining experience.",
"Fountain was the best meal we had in town. I dressed up for our meal here and I am glad that I did. The hotel and restaurant have incredibly beautiful decor while not being pretentious. The view is stunning, overlooking the fountain in Franklin pkwy outside. Service was impeccable and well timed. Food was outstanding was seasonal offerings. Venison, duck, seafood and fresh pastas are some of the choices I remember. Save room for dessert because that was great too."

"So delicious! The Teriyaki Mushroom Burger is made with a soft sesame seed bun, juicy teriyaki marinated burger, Swiss cheese and sautéed mushrooms, shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato slices with a thick teriyaki sauce--it's bliss in my mouth. They have great onion rings with a crunchy, perfectly seasoned batter. Top that with a well-calibrated Pepsi fountain drink in a Styrofoam cup--choices of Pepsi, diet, Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew amongst others, and it's all just delicious American happiness. No skimping on the ketchup either, Heinz all the way.\n\nIf you're in Sparks on Glendale between McCarran and Stanford on a weekday, give it a try--you won't regret it.",
"love the burger, especially the different sauces for the burger. \nlove the kansas city burger: bbq sauce, bacon, grilled onions.\nchili breakfast burrito\nbacon or sausage breakfast burrito are also one my favorites.",
"My mom and I were hungry and had just gone to the jcpenney outlet and noticed this place. My mom said lets go check it out. She thought it was the juicy burger chain,but i told her this was different.\n\nWhen i ordered i thought it was a little overpriced because i paid 10.50 for the mushroom swiss burger and then i added bacon for another dollar. Plus to add a large soda and large fries was another 3.00. \n\nMy mom ordered the teriyaki burger. When we got our food we were pleasantly surprised. Our coke was good. The fries were flavorful and crispy. And the burger was really good. My mom was getting full from her small fries and said she was going to only eat a bite or two but once she took a bite she ate almost 2/3. \n\nAlthough this place was like a little under six bucks for the burger alone. It was worth it in taste.",
"Just good old food. Cooked to your order. And not till you get there. And service was great!",
"FANTASTIC!, i've been there for a breakfast burrito, and oh boy was it huge, hot & good!!, so i had to go there for lunch., i had a double bacon cheeseburger., and once again they did not dissapoint., it was close to 3/4 lb of beef and great toppings/fresh., very nice people who own it as well!",
"My family LOVES Juicy's! We have been going to this location for 3 years and the food is always great. Our orders are accurate, the food comes out fast and hot. It seems to be our Saturday lunch tradition, run errands...then go get burgers. Never disappointed!",
"This Juicy's isn't as good as the Wells St. or the McCarran locations. I think the Glendale store might be owned by different franchisees, it's just not as good as the other locations.",
"The Burger, a 1/3 lb beef patty, was very good. The Fries were golden and delicious. Like a thick hand-cut fry although I don't know if they are fresh or frozen.\n\nThe beverages are freely accessible to refill. I would like to see renovations in the restroom. The appearance of the bathroom the worst part.\n\nI plan to return in the spring when I can ride by on my bicycle. There was a TV playing sports and good oldies on the radio. \n\nThe place was full of firemen and a group of soldiers so I guess they have a reputation for their good food.",
"Juicy's is a quick lunch break spot. The service is pretty fast and the food is decent. The restaurant is very old and dingy. Honestly, it borders on dirty so if you're someone who needs everything spick-n-span, you won't want to go here. The football theme decor is very dated and doesn't match. I wouldn't go here normally to eat but it's close to work and the food is decent and cheap so it's good for a 30-minute lunch.",
"It was my first time trying Juicy's and the food was ok but the hygiene was terrible. As I waited for my food, I watched one of the cooks wipe her nose with her hand and continue cooking. Also one of the other cooks, was wiping the sweat from her head and placed the sweat drenched towel on the counter next to the food. First and last time to Juicy's."

"Unbelievable flavor in this food!! Make sure you try the couscous curry wrap that was amazing. Also the buffalo chicken wrap was very good. \n\nHowever the real specialty of Tareks Cafe is his breakfast. All the eggs and omelettes are amazing and full of flavor. He also makes his muffins homemade and fresh everyday so make sure you pick one up on your way out!",
"My first experience with this restaurant was absolutely magnificent! Rarely do I feel compelled to write reviews for anything I try but this was a definite exception from the first bite! \nThough skeptical of trying this place out at first due to the seemingly simple offerings (i usually enjoy much more exotic bites), i'm thoroughly happy I've given it a chance as I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. The chicken couscous curry wrap was bursting with exotic tangy yet spicy flavor full of moist juiciness, transporting my being to oriental shores. The hummus appetizer, an excellently crafted dish, had whipped and creamy hummus, then joined with grilled herbed flavored pita bread triangles, along with feta cheese and diced kalamata olives on a bed of dark green fresh romaine. The amount of food in merely two items has served me for both breakfast and lunch too which is a tremendous feat in itself!! \nYou can tell these folks at this quaint restaurant really care for the food they serve and is a wonderful step up from other sandwich shops. Tarek is indeed a well skilled chef. Don't hesitate!\n\nThe owner, Tarek, even gives away free food to keep his customers happy! Who else does that!?",
"Such a rich and diverse menu, and everything is simply fantastic! I have known Tarek for over 15 years and this is his crown jewel. He is refreshingly accommodating, satisfied only if his customers are, and has his personal touch on every menu item. Great for carnivores and vegetarians, and his pancakes are second to none! Do yourself a favor and stop in for a treat.",
"Tampa Palms people, finally! Our casual neighborhood breakfast lunch dinner place has arrived! Tarek has had a thriving usf location for 23 years and has recently opened in the Amberly shopping center near Peabody's. My mom had breakfast, it was awesome. I had dinner, it was awesome. Help get the word out. Open until 7pm.\n\nUPDATE:\n\nOkay the initial love affair has worn off a bit, still super happy about this place but the portions are definitely too small, and it's not cool that the menu says \"bacon\" when all they really serve is turkey bacon. That is MOST DEFINITELY not the same thing! I can respect the idea, but u have to put that on your menu. You can't just bring a guy turkey bacon without saying a word, come on now..",
"We've been here twice now, once for breakfast and once got lunch, and loved it! This is exactly what New Tampa needed. I had the 911 breakfast sandwich and it was great. They put an awesome hot sauce on it. I tried the curry chicken couscous wrap today and it was perfect. Great food, great service, and you can tell the owner cares about the food and customers. Can't wait to try it for dinner! Dr. Pepper short ribs are calling our names!",
"I used to eat at the Tarek's before I graduated and missed it once I moved on. Well I'm happy to say that they opened a secondary location and everything is still delicious!! Their hours are 7-7 I believe every day, maybe shorter hours on Sunday. \n\nI got the Cuban breakfast sandwich which used to be called the Tony's breakfast sandwich back at USF - it's still perfect. My frienda got the 911 breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito - also delicious. Their in house buffalo sauce was the perfect hit sauce addition and the duck confit fries were an unexpected yummy surprise. \n\nI'm sad that this place is so quiet. The food is so good and there's tona of place in here and options on the menu. Please come visit!",
"This is my first visit and intend to return to try lunch & dinner. With that being said, my wife & I were underwhelmed with breakfast. My wife ordered the corn-beef hash with two eggs and I had waffle. We agreed to split the entrees as we both love waffles and corn beef hash. Since they were not busy I was surprised it took as long as it did to get our meals. When they did arrive, the hash was not enough for one person! I have never seen such a small portion. The good is that it was tasty. The two eggs were cooked according to order but they their was a brown greasy appearance. Look like truck stop eggs! My waffle was dry and no flavor, although it's appearance was good. We spent 23.00 that includes a tip and definitely not a good value.",
"Excellent food and excellent service. My wife and I go on a weekly basis. Grouper sandwich, western omelet, chicken tenders, humus, chicken caesar wrap, hamburger,onion rings... you name it, everything taste good! For the quality and taste of the food, the prices are low compared to other restaurants in the Tampa Palms area. Also, try the lasagna. It is awesome.",
"I had no idea what to expect from this place but it was a pleasant surprise. Apparently Tarek has operated another restaurant on the USF campus for decades. This is a brand new venture that has only been open a month. We had a great breakfast here. I was somewhat shocked when I walked in. For some reason I thought it was going to be a tiny place and it's not at all. The sign on the wall says the capacity is well over two hundred people. The restaurant itself looks new and clean. The menu has an interesting variety, including breakfast that you can get any time of the day. The muffins sounded great and apparently are made fresh. We ordered an apple cinnamon one and our waitress suggested we get it fried, which was a great choice. They cut it in half and warmed it and it was delicious. The caprese salad came with pesto naan bread and couscous. Such an interesting take on a dish I've seen a million times before. The pancakes and french toast were excellent also. Tarek came to our table to speak to us and he is a funny guy. He had me laughing more than once. I also like his taste in music and enjoyed the 80's tunes that were playing. The last breakfast place in Tampa I reviewed was Keke's and I liked this much better. I'm happy that Tarek decided to expand his business!",
"The rest of the reviews hit everything on the spot... the food is fantastic and has huge variety, the service is friendly and quick, and the atmosphere is quaint and open! This particular occasion I had the 911 breakfast sandwich which was huge and tasty, along with an order of pancakes which were honestly some of the best pancakes I have ever had, which is saying a lot coming from a pancake connoisseur! This place deserves great support from the community!!"

"Best breakfast and it won't break the bank either! Sausage is yummy french toast is cinnamon gooey and home fries hit the spot! Just a good place for a late breakfast! But only accept cash! And really small!",
"This restaurant should come up as #1 for best breakfast. I returned with my picky teenage son today, after having been away for two years. Tasted exactly like I remember.... Amazing. I had my old favorite, French Toast and sausage. I treated myself to fresh whipped butter too. I will probably have to walk five miles tonight to burn off breakfast, but man, was it worth it. Sausage is so fresh and wonderful. My picky son had eggs over easy,bacon and home fries. With two coffees,bill was $16 including tax. Money well spent. Son loved everything and asked when we could return. Waitress was lovely, welcoming, and even the owner, Chris and his talented cook waived enthusiastically at me when I entered; even after a two year break, they recognized me. What a nice feeling. I wish we lived closer. My mother-in-law loves their creamed chip beef. Can't wait to bring her back. Just learned they are open on Sundays for breakfast til 2 p.m. and serve Eggs Benedict. I can feel my dress size going up...help! Run, do not walk to the Terminal Restaurant, and then go running afterwards! See you soon Chris and all the wonderful people there! Annie & Alexander",
"Excellent little old fashioned luncheonette. Home cooking, just like in Moms Kitchen. Breakfast is a delight here. Like stepping back in time. Great prices and everyone knows each other here..",
"To keep this short and sweet, this place is disgusting! Dirty floor, tables, glasses, and silverware. I'd hate to see what the kitchen looks like.\nAgainst my better judgment I decided to give this place another shot. Went with a group of 5. It wasn't busy at all but out breakfast took 30 minutes to come out. Everything was beyond greasy, toast and eggs were burnt. We wound up not eating any of the food. We had clean silverware at least but the place overall is still dirty looking. Judge for yourself but this was my experience. Drive 5 mins down the road and go to West Ave or Kitchen Bar.",
"Nothing fancy, just a good old fashioned breakfast. I come in once a week and grab an omelet with toast and grits and leave happy for not too much dough. Service is always fast and friendly.",
"I really really didn't want to do this but it is necessary for people to know about this place. I have been coming here for a couple years consistently. Born and raised in Willow Grove I didn't hear about this place up until I started coming here. The food is awesome! I won't take that from them! The staff for the most part are cool. But here's the issue that will not have me go back there ever! So my fiancée and I go almost every Saturday. It's A CASH only business. Fine. Every time we r in there there is Atleast 5 or more customers that are new customers that are unaware of the cash only part. So they attempt to use the ATM ...no money. Ok so they have to walk across the street or drive to a ATM. DID WE EAT ANYWHERE ELSE? No. So why should anyone have to leave to pay for their food??? So last Saturday we went and we didn't have enough cash. Yes we knew that there would be a 100% chance of the ATM having no money..but hey..we took a chance. So we told the OWNER (a Russian prick..I might add) and his exact words were \"yeah and? Theres no money..what do you want me to do?\" Oh really? Ok...so my fiancée gets up ready to charge him but I told her to leave and I would handle his ass. I said it's not what u say it's how u say things. I'm a frequent customer...u just don't treat people like that. Period. How do u run a CASH only business but NEVER have any cash in the ATM ??? He never apologized he kept mumbling to his punk ass self and then stormed out like a three yr old having a temper tamp. Like really!!! Please please save yourself the headache and don't even entertain this place. They have definitely lost TWO LOYAL customers. Sad sad sad.",
"Tiny home town spot that serves up olde school breakfast. Big plates of inexpensive food. These little diners are super. \n\nTry the grits.",
"If you are looking for good quality inexpensive food quick, this is the place to grab breakfast or lunch. Breakfast is always good and they have the best burger around for lunch. The place is rustic and could use a coat of paint. They cook your food right in front of you in an open kitchen. Nothing fancy but the place is always packed. Enjoy.",
"They have great breakfast items and I love their home fries. Sometimes my eggs over easy are cooked over hard. The waitresses have a hard time with special orders so make sure they understand what they want. They get slammed on the weekends, because when the food is good, it's great. Fair prices.",
"This place is great for breakfast. We found this place when we first moved to Willow Grove and love it. Always a great spot to fill up before heading over to the mall."

"The restaurant need better mangement and a staff that cares about customer service and quality control. I sat at the bar which to me usually means a little b vijnagarit more laid back and fun and a little more persoanlity. \n\nI had a simple order. Steak with sweet potato with brown sugar butter and a side salad. I asked if they had a balsamic vinagrette and when told they did ordered that with no crouhtons on salad. The salad came out by runner with croutons and a side bottle of red wine vinegar and oil. The bartender came up and asked how things were. I told him about the dressing and the fact that I had nothing to eat with. He brought me utensils and napkin and a runner brought me a bottle of balsamic vinegar and oil. Not what I consider a vineagrette. The steak and potato came out. Not topping for potato. Steak was cooked exactly how I ordered it. It was no where near the nice thick steak in the picture though. It was less than 1l2 inch thick but cooked perfectly and not to bad. No flavor that I would have expected from wood fire. No grill marks. No seasoning. Bartender was nice and offered a discount which I gave him as a tip. So he got almost 30% from final bill but he never asked to sell me another drink dessert or any upsell. \n\nI heard the bartender say something to the manager on duty who never really addressed the issues. She did come by and while in motion straightening bar stools asked \"how's your dinner tonight\". I could tell that since it was asked in motion it wasn't a real request.\n\nManagement and staff need better training",
"I travel the country and typically have nothing but nice things to say about Outback but don't waste your time here. Takeout service is horrible at best. Last three visits order was incomplete or undercooked. Last night it took over an hour from time phone order was placed. Many unhappy customers sitting in running cars (had to keep the heat on because of cold winter night) upwards of 30 minutes passed pickup time indicated.\nOnly good thing is they are quick to come out for payment so once you have paid good luck getting your order to come out on-time or complete.",
"I would have rated the Outback higher, but there was one big issue with cleanliness. The food was good (except for my husband's broccoli, which was overcooked and mushy), the service was fine, but the floor under and next to our table was so greasy that we were lucky not to have fallen. I was still wiping the grease off my shoes when we got home. We had to hold onto my 83 year old mother to make sure she didn't slip and hurt herself. We mentioned this problem to the wait staff and hosts, and they kind of shrugged their shoulders and apologized -- but NOTHING was done about it. What did we need to do to get their attention???\n\nThis is a neighborhood restaurant for us, and we've been there before and it was OK. We will probably be back, but if they still have very dirty floors that will be the last time.",
"I am NOT a fan of chains - and truly not a fan of Outback (in fact, I stay away from most of the steaks there), but today our party of 5 - including my parents who LOVE Outback had a great Sunday lunch.\n\nPart of what made it so great was that the place was EMPTY at 12 noon on a Sunday.\nThus, we had attentive service and no waiting to be seated.\n\nBliss.\n\nI enjoyed a 1/2 rack (4) of ribs and my 7 year old ate 2 of them. Plus a kids meal of \"mac-a-roo\" - and steamed broccoli. The kid ate like a champ.\n\nDo I love the food here? Not really. Is it 5 stars? No way.\nBut we got a decent 4 star meal out of a 3 star place.\nGood for kids (mine at least.)\n\nGo at an off-peak time for this formula-cooking meat fest.\n\nP.S. - for $5 they serve up an enormous and very good key lime pie on a graham cracker crust.",
"This review can be (relatively) short and to the point. I've joined my folks here on occasion, and they are basically \"regulars\", coming for later night cocktails and pub fare like quesadillas and the occasional shared wedge salad. I don't know if they've ever been disappointed, and I should've followed their suit. Instead, I branched out.\n\nBad move, Jordan.\n\nI tried a new dish, shrimp and scallop skewers from their Summer menu of some sort. The scallops were like hockey pucks they were so overcooked, and the shrimp were tiny and over-seasoned. The rice it was all served over was undercooked and tasted like little pellets. Ew.\n\nI also got a water with lemon and it took me three requests before I got my lemon wedge. Obnoxious, but not meal-ruining. I left that to the ruined meal.\n\nTeach me to go to the Outback and order anything other than steak or cheese fries. Tsk tsk tsk.\n\nFor the record, I tried a bite of my brother's hamburger, and it was phenom.",
"We came here with a party of 5 for a late lunch and on a tight time-frame.\nUnfortunately, we were seated in a booth (the place was not busy so we should have asked for a table - and will do so if we ever return).\n\nThat booth was so uncomfortable especially for our 8 year old.\n\"Smushy\", she said.\n\nIn any case, our server Bryan (Brian?) was very accomodating.\nThe food was just OK - lunch menu items - we mostly all had sandwiches (burger, filet on foccacia and Prime rib pieces with onions on a kaiser roll).\n\nKiddo had (again) the \"Mac-a-roo\" but this time did not like the cheese sauce (too rich and thick this time.)\n\nOh, well. I was never a big fan of Outback - but we had such a great experience the last time we came, we thought we'd give it another go.\n\nTips: Come during NON peak hours, Sit at a TABLE not a booth - especially for parties of 5 or 6.",
"I've always had good food and good service here. I don't stray too far from the steak, but it is usually made to my liking. I also like the curb side pickup option.",
"Might of been my last trip to Outback.... ever. Walked in to a half empty restaurant at 8pm, they made me sit and wait 10 inutes for table so they could wait for a table in the section they didnt CLOSE yet....ya. They closed 1/2 the restaurant so they could be lazy and clean it so come close they can be out quicker. Had all kids under 21 working here it seemed like. The food was just more basic than i EVER remember it. My filet was just a bland piece of meat. For the price they charge, they need to get their sh*t together and not run their establishments like they are applebees, pathetic.",
"Excellent food and service\nRER",
"My last trip to this Outback ever. Things got off to a bad start when my drink was wrong. I ordered frozen, not mixed. Then the replacement drink was too sour. Took 40 minutes for appetizer to arrive lukewarm. 55 minutes for the entrees to arrive. Rex ordered filet and he got sirloin. Joan ordered filet medium and got well. At this point I exploded. Discussion with manager; she doesn't good have explanation. She winds up comping the dinner.\n\nSome might think that comping the dinner would give the place a pass. I would if I thought that anyone there gave a damn."

"amazing amazing amazing. its sad that i only just got to experience what i now consider the best mexican food here in town! and i'm leaving sb for good in two days!!! life's just not fair sometimes. \n\nthough this place sounds like its only a bakery, they actually sell food there and its damn good. thanks to johnny and jacinta s. i got to try the best mexican food in town. \n\nsteve h. and i were given quesadillas (the \"s\" at the end makes a difference and is not to be confused with a quesadilla- no \"s\") and something that looks like a tostada called a sopes? not sure if i spelled it correctly. the bread / tortilla on both of these dishes were outstanding and like nothing i've had before!!\n\ni was told that you used to have to order in spanish...but i guess they now have picture menus! perfect!!! i'm so there sometime in the next two days!! woo-hoo!!",
"Mole. Mole? MOLE.\nHuuuuh? I had no idea! Ok, I think I did have an idea that this little shop was also a taqueria, but it was the slightest little sliver of a memory from high school which was a long time ago, like uncountable layers of paint on the cow long ago.\n\nI came to the little shopping center that la Tapatia is in for other reasons, but one member of my party declared she was going to grab some pan dulce and we all pushed into the tiny little bakery where the vivid cornucopia of savory menu items were displayed 8x10 color glossy glory along the wall. I should say that they weren't *good* photos, someone commented that it looked like they were shot from a moving car, but it was enough to get the idea of coming back planted in our heads.\n\nIt was nearly 7 at night, not heaving with people, but the small handful of dining patrons were undoubtedly thinking \"crap, the gringos have found us. At least it's not Julia.\" \n\nOne wall is shelves of pan dulce, all sorts including my favorite, the butterfly curly thingie. We selected about half a dozen assorted, 75c each. That's all we got this time, but I looked long and hard that the food menu and asked questions. I would totally be back to sample the tacos. I'm on a taqueria tour, after all.\n\nMeanwhile, the pastries. I couldn't dive into them until the following morning but my god they were so delicious. Really, the best butteryfly thingie I've ever had at a panaderia! Lightly crisp, yet dense and a little chewy. Did not fall apart in a big crumbly mess with each bite!\nI sampled an assortment, and my meager handful of all the pan dulce available were all great. A great balance of fluffiness, denseness, a subtle sweet to the pastries. They'd be awesome to have with a sweet coffee. I know I'm not the only person brainwashed by mass produced grocery store sugar bomb cakes that has taken a bite of a gorgeous looking pan dulce and wondered where the hell the sweet was. First, pastries need not be sugar bombs to be good, I finally figured that out. Second, these pan dulce weren't bland, they're Goldilock's \"just right\" middle ground and before I knew it, I'd eaten the whole thing up.\n\nI went back two days later for lunch. Two of us ordered a small carnitas taco and the mole con pollo to share. \nThe taco does indeed come with a freshly made tortilla. It's soft and chewy and holds up to the filling that only one tortilla is necessary, and provided. The taco is simple and good, served with cilantro and onion, with wedge of lime and a green salsa on the side. \n\nThe winning item, though, was the mole con pollo. Whooooa, really good! It may have beat the top spot in my heart for chicken mole. The sauce was sweet and spicy, rich, complex. The chicken was perfect - one large thigh with such tender meat falling off the bone that you only need to pull it apart with pieces of tortilla. And the tortillas! The dish came with more fresh, soft tortillas, the largest I'd ever seen for homemade corn tortillas. This dish also comes with a small portion of rice and beans. \n\nSome notes:\n\n* seriously hole in the wall. But they've packed a lot of stuff in.\n\n* Small tables have been pushed together to make longer communal tables. If it's busy you can share the benches running along one of the walls.\n\n* cash only\n\n* no prices listed on the hot foods. Gotta ask. The chicken mole was probably in the $8 range. The small tacos were in the $2.50 range, larger ones in the $3.50 range. Seems high, you might think, but it's because they make their tortillas fresh to order. Which brings me to my last point.\n\n* tortillas made fresh to order!\n\nI've uploaded photos, but like any food using dark sauces, it doesn't look that good. In words of IT Crowd, \"It's chocolate! It's not shit.\"",
"I have tried several tres leches cake and this one has the best!!! If you don't know what tres leches is then place an order for one here at La Tapatia Bakery.\nTres leches translates to three milks which includes: condensed milk, evaporated milk, and heavy milk. It's not as heavy or rich as it may sound. It's actually light and it honestly melts in your mouth. This is why the cake is so unbelievably moist. \nExcellent prices & quality or else I wouldn't be raving about this whole in the wall bakery.",
"Contender for BEST food in SB in my mind. Get the soups with homemade tortillas. Truly amazing. Amazing. This is a \"hole in the wall\" place that is a bakery but makes awesome Mexican food. All of the tortillas and masa based items (sopes, gorditas,etc) are hand made to order. Dip the tortillas in the soup and you'll be in heaven. Bring cash and be ok with limited English.",
"This place is a truly hidden gem! There food is very much authentic and the price is superior! So far, this is the best mole in town and my friend really liked the verde sauce with the pork enchiladas and the Chile Verde served over the pork with handmade tortillas.",
"Wow. I was front row for a band I love at what is possibly the best music venue in California, and yet, the best thing about it all may have been my meal at La Tapatia beforehand. Delicious food. The nicest folks around. Street parking. A great beginning to a great night.",
"This place has killer food. Just don't be there when the nearby schools let their spawn out for lunch. We timed it all wrong and were inundated by pushy entitled teenagers who butt in line and don't seem to understand that there are other people in the universe besides their IMPORTANT selves.\nCarnitas tacos and chicken mole all great. So good we took home a bunch for dinner.",
"So this is one of my new favorite finds. It is a cool little hole in the wall with amazing and authentic mexican food. So far i have been twice for the chorizo potato and egg burritos. They have delicious mole poblano, costillas con chili verde and huaraches. Everything i eat reminds me a lot of my grandmothers cooking. The chili verde pork just falls off the bone and the hot homemade tortillas are phenomenal. Do yourself a favor drive past Los Agaves and eat some real mexican food right down the street!",
"My boyfriend and I literally live right in between two of the most popular Mexican restaurants on Milpas st, but they do NOT compare to this restaurant. This place has some of the best Mexican food in Santa Barbara. It is really worth a try, plus there is easy parking which those other places do not have! Love Love Love this place.",
"The tamales are great! $1.75 each. 100 Mex food places in SB and I stumble into this one. Great surprise! Its where workers are eating. Its called a bakery but its mostly a taqueria."

"Love having this place in so close to me! In a sea of fried chicken, it's so nice to have a refreshing and healthy option to reboot! Not only do they have juices and smoothies, but there are also some great salads and snacks. It's very welcoming and there are plenty of places to sit and relax. Definitely give it a try!",
"Amazing place!! Love the decor. Wide selection of fresh juices and smoothies. Friendly staff.",
"The Green smoothie is so good! The staff was awesome to make it around my food sensitivities so I wouldn't be sick later, and I cannot wait to go back. Just tell the staff if you have allergies or sensitivities and they will work with you.",
"Bar is cool, rest of the seating is dark and weird. Parking sucks. Smoothie was good--better be for $8 plus tax for 16oz. I wish they had nutritional values listed. Service was super fast. I prefer smoothie king but none around.",
"Great place .. Loved the ginger shot and the cold buster.. \nThe well being was my mom's favorite!! We will be back",
"Wonderful service, wonderful smoothies, and wonderful folks! I'm not sure what my favorite smoothie is: I guess that means I'll have to go back and try them all! I've been to the East Nashville location thrice in the past couple days; methinks I'm addicted!",
"I got the lunch replacer (I'm not sure if that's the exact name) and it is wonderful. The staff was friendly and my order can quickly. I loved this little place!",
"Great service and great smoothies. I heard about the spot while attending a music concert in Nashville",
"My friend and I lovingly refer to this place as 'the crack house' because we always get the Liquid Lunch (peanut butter, banana, aloe) which is so good it really tastes like a sinful dessert. \n\nI can't seem to branch out and try anything else, because this shake is a killer. \n\nStaff is always pleasant and friendly although once I had a really sweet guy at the counter whose apron was NOT very clean. I know that may sound prissy but I am a details person, and a visual eater.\n\nDidn't affect my ability to enjoy my smoothie, just an observation.",
"A virtual twin to the Waverly location, the Eastwood branch has some distinct differences -- not all of which lead to a better experience. The first thing to note is that parking is much easier on the east side. Not only are there, about, eight parking places, easing in to said spaces is not as stressful as trying to do so on 8th. That's a big plus. The inside, to me, feels nicer. Again, this isn't to say that the Waverly location is in any way un-chic but Eastwood just seems, I dunno, crisper? Is that an appropriate word to use? I wouldn't say that I would feel comfortable spending a day working out of this location but to spend a little time in (and, snap some pictures), this location has a lot of win to it.\n\nI guess some of that physical discomfort lends itself to the (for me) social discomfort and, thus, three stars as opposed to the four at Waverly. I am a one-juice man: the Well Being. Unfortunately, depending on who's making it, the taste varies wildly. It can be a bit disconcerting to the palate to expect one flavor profile and have it range from bitter to watery to burning. Human error and all but consistency breeds contentment. But more off-putting than not knowing what juice formula I will receive, the human element can be even more confusing. My interactions have ranged from efficient to icy. I've never been made to feel very welcomed at this location. I'm not looking for a deep connection with the person making my juice but a smile goes a long way. Often I'm asked to repeat the size I wanted. It's a little thing but it shows that the person taking the order isn't listening. It's just not very friendly, in my estimation. Perfunctory. That's the word that best describes the human element at TUJ in my experience. Perfunctory service and an uneven product is okay, I guess. Points for parking ease and physical beauty."

"Just re-opened. Food was great. Service not so good. They need some English speaking employees to help the customers with the menu. Pointing at the menu for your server doesn't work for me.",
"Just re-opened. Food was great. Service not so good. They need some English speaking employees to help the customers with the menu. Pointing at the menu for your server doesn't work for me. \n Just paid another visit. The food was even better than first visit and service was terrific. And the rice pudding is beyond good.",
"No words will do this place justice. Food is absolutely astonishing. Always fresh. I eat there daily. I absolutely adore babaganush and bakhlava, however absolutely every dish i tried there was delicious, and by now i tried almost everything. Starting from salads, Kebabs, fish, everything that is grilled is a A+++,and ending with homemade deserts that melt in your mouth. Chef is a real master. I do not cook and order food a lot, this is 100% the best place in the area. There is nothing even closely comparable to that place. You do not need to be into Mediterranean kitchen to enjoy the food",
"They lost the best waiter. The one male waiter is horrible order apps and main course for two of us so the apps were good then he only brings out 1 order of the kabobs with rice so I point for him to serve my wife first. 10 minutes goes by and I call him over and asked where my dinner was his reply was oh you wanted it to. I said no I ordered 2 lamb kabob dinners so I can sit here and not eat. We split the one dish asked for the check and the idiot had me input the info in the credit card machine....what a dope they lose customers that was going twice a week",
"The food here is excellent. It is a little hard communicating with the workers- they need to hire fluent English speaking waiters. Definitely worth going back to because the food is fresh and delicious.",
"Was surprised to see this place had opened. I drive by there quite oftener and it always looked closed. Looking for something different I decided to try it. Not very familiar with Mediterranean food but what the heck. \n\nThe parking lot is quite small. Went inside and just like the Indian restaurant across the street more drab decor. The place was a little smoky. Not sure where that was coming from. The woman that greeted us was helpful when I asked for suggestions. I don't eat beef or pork only chicken and fish. I settled on the chicken shikh. Which is basically chicken kabob and rice. I also had been looking for falafel so I ordered that as well. It took about fifteen minutes for the food. There were a couple of families dining when we got there. I sat outside while I waited since there was no place else to wait without staring at the other patrons as they ate. Took my food home to eat. The chicken was excellent. Large chunks of flavorful chicken with a side of rice. There was half a grilled tomato and jalapeño also. But I was pleasantly surprised. They give you some kind of bread. I didn't care for it. The biggest disappointment was the falafel. I must say I thought they tasted very odd. Like the chickpeas were old or something. Can't quite explain it. Then there were two sauces included. The typical tzatziki sauce and another one. Well the other one tasted like vomit. I kid you not. Not sure if it's supposed to. I hope not. Maybe it was one that had gone bad and they didn't know. It was in one of those little plastic sauce cups most places use. Can't say if I'll go back. But if your feeling adventurous give it a try.",
"Great food! Been to Turkey twice -- this is amazing and comparable to the food there! Not sure why the other reviews are about the servers not speaking English. They speak English folks, better than most native speakers \n\nI loved what I got-- Adonna lamb kabob is a must! The meat is seasoned to perfection \n\nWill come here again! I just realized they have been open for two months. Really good, fresh food!",
"Sofra is a Turkish café on Bristol Pike in Levittown, Pa. It doesn't look like much from the outside, with small stature in a rather unattractive part of Bucks County, but grab some courage and go inside. Within, you will find a small dining room, with open floor space for entertainment. Most important, the chef knows a thing or two about Istanbul cuisine. \n\nOur Saturday jaunt to a commercial area nearby resulted in us stopping in to check out what was going on here. We were greeted by a gentlemen I took to be an owner, owing to his general lack of social grace. Why else would he be handling guests? Still, we sat to one side and were brought menus and cold water. I am no maven when it comes to Turkish kitchens, but Middle Eastern chow I know something about from time spent in the eastern Mediterranean. \n\nI was looking for lamb gyro as an introduction to the skill here, but it was not available for lunch. So, I looked further and found Shepherd's Salad, Falafel and Grilled Lamb in Pita Sandwich as attractive alternatives. All arrived about ten minutes later in the hands of our erstwhile host. The Salad was a plentiful pile of Tomato, Cucumber, Black Olive, Red Onion and a nice Olive Oil based herbed dressing. Very refreshing. The Falafel Plate was 5 nice sized balls of ground chickpea and herbs, deep fried to a medium brown finish, with a stainless bowl of Tahini Sauce in the middle. Wedge Tomato and Lettuce garnish. Liked it! Finally, the Grilled Lamb wrapped tightly in pita and again in paper, was excellent, with a rich BBQ-like flavor and more lettuce, onion and a wonderful savory taste. Star of the show. \n\nWe weren't asked if we wanted dessert or Turkish coffee (we did), but were handed the check as soon as we finished eating our mains. I guess we weren't on the guest list, even being the only customers in the house. \n\nToo bad, because Sofra has potential.",
"Great food! We loved the pide! Nice and fresh. Will definitely visit again. We also got the baklava and it was delicious nice and crunchy on top and moist on the bottom.",
"The experience was excellent. The environment is not fancy,. It's clean and simple. Unpretentious. The food is authentic and the portions are generous. The staff is great - friendly, knowledgeable, always there in a positive vein, but not annoying.."

"So, I think this is the place on JFK and 18th. If Its not, sorry.\n\nLong lines, snotty staff, and shitty mexican. The staff acts like they are doing you a favor. My favorite is the dude who types as fast as humanly possible onto the register. He'll take your order in 2 seconds only to have you wait 10 minutes for a quesadilla that looks more like a tiny soft taco folded over and microwaved. Also, this place uses cheese whiz type queso in their signature chilito. The prices aren't half bad, but the ingredients rival the quality of the ingredients you'd find at an Aldi grocery store.",
"I really like this place. However, it was not love at first sight. The first time I ever went in here to order, I only had credit cards and a fifty dollar bill. There was a nice sign on the cash register which informed me they did not take bills over 20 as soon as I got up there after waiting in a long line. The lady at the register was about as nice as the Soup Nazi and proceeded to put my drink back in the case as I informed her of my fifty. Still can't figure out why they wouldn't accept it - place does great lunch business and I'm sure there were tons of twenties in the register... \n\nAside from that first experience, the food here is really good and really affordable. The prices are almost identical to a place like Taco Bell but this is good Mexican food and is very clean. Their Chicken Taco Salad is the best - you don't feel terrible after eating the food here and you get a great meal. I think its worth it to try at least once if you are in the neighborhood. It's only open during lunch hours during the week so don't go at night.",
"This place is for the unadventurous, taste bud lacking, office workers of city center. This place sucks. I'd rather eat at Taco Bell. The ingredients are incredibly bland. EVERYTHING is \"cooked\" in a microwave. The prices are as low as the servings are small. Barf.",
"Well... If you're looking for lunch for under $5, then this might be an option.\n\nThat is, if you're interested in a seriously american-fast-food-without-the-flavor interpretation of a taco. Their tacos and burritos have no spices, and aren't even really what I would quantify as burritos- for example, you have to get the super-special much more expensive burrito to even get rice and beans. \n\nSure, they'll sell you food for under $5, but honestly? You're better off with a cart.",
"This place is close to my work and it's always always packed. I do not know how it being so packed and busy with repeat business reconciles with the other people's reviews here--but moving on.\n\nI like this place, I get a side order of refried beans and some seltzer water every time I go. \n\nI'm not a Mexican food snob, or a foodie, I do not know what is \"good\" Mexican food, though I'm pretty sure food being made by white people in assembly line fashion probably isn't it. I do know what my mouth likes, and my mouth likes the refried beans at Hot Tamales. \n\nTry and schedule your lunch during an off time or else you'll have about a 5 minute wait after ordering your food and you might have to eat outside or take it to go.",
"Not a fan. Sorry. With Qdoba nearby and really GOOD places like Xochitl and Tequila's, I guess I am forever spoiled. Even my former experience with San Francisco tacquerias puts Hot Tamales to shame.\n\nI had a burrito with spinach, mushrooms and supposedly turkey - but it seemed almost exactly the same as the ground beef my friend ordered. Weird. And bland. And just not that tasty.\n\nIt's not that the food is dangerous or anything - it's just not that good.\nIt is cheap, however. And crowded at lunch time (I thnk they are closed at dinner time.)\n\nWhatever.\n\nNot really worth the energy.",
"I just got back from Hot Tamales for lunch today...I can feel the stomache ache brewing already. It has a few redeeming qualities, namely price and portion, but as you can see from its less-than-stellar reviews, the drawbacks are far more numerous. Take the bland decor, not that the decor has much to do with the quality of your lunch, but it's like a cafeteria. The food isn't much better, which as others have duly noted, has absolutely no flavor...Hot Tamales? What's so hot about it? Even the hotsauce is bland, it came right from the soulless bowels of Aramark. Would it hurt that bad to invest in some seasonings? \n\nI got a chicken taco salad, which was huge, but not very satisfying to my taste buds, and a \"crunch-n-munch burrito\" ...OK whoever thought it would be a cute idea to name a burrito crunch-n-munch deserves a lobotomy. It was supposed to be Turkey, but I noticed no difference in taste or texture from what I would imagine is their ground beef.\n\nService was satisfactory as far as I'm concerned, but apparently they are rude and snappy if your order isn't as fast and coordinated as the Soup Nazi's soup stand.\n\nMy friend likened this place to Taco Bell, but with better ingredients...maybe the next step up if you ask me, but not by much. \n\nGo here expecting the following: cheap food, filling portions, a stomache ache.\nDon't go here expecting any of the following: authenticity, flavor, atmosphere, a reason to go back.",
"I'm really not quite sure why this place receives so many 1-star ratings (come on. that's harsh). I have been a big fan of Hot Tamales since some coworkers told me about it just over a year ago. First of all, if you're going here and expect cheap Mexican food to be either A) The best Mexican food you can possibly find in the city or B) Authentic, NOT Tex-Mex style, you will be disappointed. No one goes to Taco Bell for a high-class feast, either. That said, I do believe Hot Tamales to be excellent for what it is. I know I'm not the only one because any time I bring up the idea of going there, any coworker within earshot rushes over with money in hand begging me to pick up something for them, as well. Their menu items may be hit-and-miss according to your tastebuds but gems can be found if you know what to order and what extras to add to them. The addition of jalapenos or guacamole or some of their other extras can really dissolve the \"blandness\" people describe here. The hot sauce IS a joke and is to be avoided though, as others have pointed out.\n\nAs for the issue with the food taking a long time.. yes, that can be a concern but it usually happens because, (not surprisingly) it's a small place and most of their customers show up around the same time of day. For instance, I showed up at noon today just behind a group of 12 businessmen who ordered before me and sat down to wait for their food. I had to wait for their small kitchen to complete 12 full orders before getting to mine. It happens. It's just exactly the same as if you arrive at a popular place with a drive up window and have to wait in line behind a bunch of other cars. I would not fault the restaurant for not serving you as quickly as you deem appropriate when they are simply trying to keep up with demand for their food.\n\nMy main complaint? They are not open on weekends when I could ride bike down to eat there more often! In summary: When I want cheap, decent tex-mex style food and am in the area, this is my first thought every time. If I want authentic Mexican or something special, I can go to any number of other places. Hot Tamales is great for what they are, in my opinion.",
"Honestly it's not THAT bad here. \n\nI had take out from here and ordered nachos and a chicken burrito for $5 -- you can't beat it. I mean of course there are many other places that are better but for the price it's just fine by me. If you want something more then no frills mexican that's a slight step up from taco bell, you need to go elsewhere.",
"I have been eating at Hot Tamales for over 10 years and I still go back when I have a chance even though I no longer work in Center City. \n\nThe food is affordable and delicious. If you are looking for authentic mexican food or upscale cuisine, then this place is not for you. But if you are looking for tacos and burritos that are a step above Taco Bell, then Hot Tamales is the place! \n\nIt can get busy during prime lunch time, so it's a good idea to get there at an off-peak time if you don't feel like waiting."

"Food always taste great and service is great!! I would reccomend to anyone..",
"I love the old diner atmosphere here. Fun retro flare. Great shakes in many flavors. Burgers, chicken and salads are all good here. I never have room for dessert though.",
"As a previous reviewer stated, Steak n Shake has a nice retro diner flare which I like; it makes this restaurant stand out of other dine-ins. Although somewhat greasy, their steakburgers are delicious as well as their soups, salads, and especially milk shakes. \n\nProps to Scotty for always being a great waiter! Ask for him when you dine in, he's a great server. :)",
"worst hamburger i ever had. grease was running down my arm. fries tasted like the oil was old. will never go back.",
"Consistently tasty food and good service at a lot price. I like the old fashion feel and the open booth seating. The 24 hour service availability is a huge plus too - especially for 20-somethings out for a good night.",
"We came to this restaurant the day after Christmas. It was packed and they only had a few servers. It was the slowest Steak and Shake service I have ever experienced. Wd waited 30 minutes to be seated yet tables sat empty while we were waiting. We ordered and waited 35 minutes for our food to be delivered. The floor under our table was so sticky that at one point I almost pulled my foot out of my shoe because my shoe was stuck to the ground. The floors were dirty throughout. I am giving them two stars because the food was good and typical Steak and Shake food. We had a customer next to us wait 35 minutes for a hot dog. She then cancelles the order and told them just to bring her sundae. 15 minutes later they delivered it and it was wrong....she walked out.",
"I don't know what happened to this Steak N-Shake. Two years ago it was my favorite place to eat and then they served me food that was so disgusting I haven't been able to even drive past the restaurant without getting an upset stomach. They forgot the shake one visit and gave it to me at the end when we were paying to leave. They put so much mustard on a hamburger it was dripping off. Blargh!",
"Came here around midnight on my bday to celebrate. The only server on told me to sit anywhere I like, didnt even wish me a happy 20th bday. Took literally 20 minutes to get a fucking water, despite there only being 4 tables. Very unhappy, also never recieved complementary birthday cake.",
"They try. but when the upper mang. (above store level) cares more about their hours and profits than customer service and their own staffs ability to afford to live. service suffers. I no longer eat there because EVERY TIME my order is wrong. I will only get shakes there and even than sometimes they are not worth the cost. Ive had burgers that were burnt, wrong cheese, wrong topping or ordered extra toppings and got enough that would barely feed a mouse. fries that were either cold or tasted like the oil was going bad or already rancid. taking 20+ minutes to get food ordered or even worse, ordering food and having the order not even put in till almost 30 minutes later or taking up to 40 minutes to get said order. 10+ years ago they were a great place to eat.(use to eat there several nights a week for my lunch break. moved away and didnt go there for a long while. moved back into the area a little over a year ago and like I started above every time I go there something is not right. some of the staff is nice others act like they would rather be someplace else. this location gives the rest of them a bad name. however on that note I know people that love this place and have never had a bad experience. So I will chock it up as bad timing, wrong days or staff having a crappy days.",
"We go to this location because it is closest to us. Tonight was one of the worst visits in a while. The service here has never been quick, but is usually tolerable. We walked in and it was about half full. We waited up front to be seated. A couple of servers passed by us and didn't even acknowledge us. One server came from the back and looked at us and then went back to the back. Finally one of the servers from the back acknowledged us and said they would be right there. It still took a couple minutes after that. Finally we were seated, and then the wait began for service. We know what we like here so we glanced at the menu and then sat there with them closed waiting...and waiting. There were quite a few servers working, and again they were about half full, but only one of them were moving around with any speed, a young man but I didn't get his name. I noticed across the restaurant that someone spilled a drink on the floor, a few minutes later one of the servers brought out a yellow caution cone and put over the spill. No one ever came out to clean it up and we were there for quite a while, it was still there when we left. Every step of the process was extremely slow, much slower than it usually is. No one there is in a big hurry to do anything, and there was no sign of a manager anywhere. We finally had to stand up and ask for the check and it still took a while to come. The check out process was quicker, but very unfriendly. No one seems to care here anymore, I can only guess that it is under new management but it's hard to tell since there was no sign of a manager anywhere. As we sat eating I was able to keep an eye on the front door as people came in. Everyone that came in had to stand there and wait for a while, and the restaurant was only half full. Servers would walk by and look at the people and just keep walking. It's hard to tell but there might have been an official \"hostess\", but she was in no big hurry to seat anyone, and far be it from any other server to take the reins. This \"hostess\" would come out of the back, see that there were people up front waiting to be seated, grab an empty cup off a table, take it to the back to refill it, take the cup back to the table, and then make her way up front to seat one table. Then she would go do something else leaving the other customers waiting up front. One family finally grabbed their own menus and seated themselves. It's very obvious that new management is needed at this location."

"This place is great. I've been to the hibachi a couple times and it is always fun. I go there for lunch on occasion and get the sushi lunch special. It costs $6.95 and you get to choose two types of rolls and they are served with a salad and miso soup. The atmosphere is relaxing and the waiters/waitresses are very nice. The music at times can be bothersome. I think it is Japanese pop music. Other than that a great place for lunch and an excellent place to go out to dinner with a big group of friends.",
"In the mood for Japanese? Want to have some fun too? Take your kids, date, wife, boyfriend, anyone to this Samurai. Great food, good portions, and a fun time. This is the place to go when you're down! Check your local coupon clipper, they're always giving discounts!",
"Great restaurant... I come back again and again. The sushi is fresh, reasonably priced, and the dining area is dimly lit, quiet with well spaced tables. Very relaxing overall. The hibachi chefs are a lot of fun as well, though I usually just come for the sushi.",
"I had to leave abruptly because i found a bandaid in my salad. then they asked me to give them a second chance. i think not. They also pointed out what person it came from....like that makes it any better.",
"I love this place.\n\nWhether I'm out to dinner with my girlfriend for some sushi, or with a group of friends gathered around the hibachi grill for some entertainment (which is awesome, by the way) -- Samurai never disappoints.\n\nThe all-you-can-eat sushi buffet on Sundays is also very good, if you have a big appetite. It includes a huge variety of rolls, along with options such as edamame, miso soup, and house salad (with that ginger dressing everybody so adores), so if you do it right you can really get your $23 worth.\n\nIf you're looking for a lighter meal, they accommodate that, too. Sometimes my girlfriend and I will go for lunch and simply split a chicken teryaki Bento Box and one sushi roll (I recommend the spicy crunchy yellowtail, or the beastly \"Godzilla\" special).\n\nThe only thing negative I could possibly say about Samurai is that the waitstaff speaks very little English, but this never poses a problem. They take your order well, and everything has always come out perfectly. They also stay on top of drink refills -- I just order water sometimes, and they come by to refill it faster than I can drink it!\n\nOverall, one of my favorite sushi places. Hands down. If you're around Glassboro, NJ for some reason (which you probably won't be unless you A. live in the area or B. attend Rowan University), definitely check them out.",
"There is a good amount of sushi places around campus, this is the only one I've been to and I've never been upset with it. I've had their sushi and I have had some of their kitchen items, everything is always great, They have plenty of interesting sushi rolls but I've never been bold enough to spend more than a few dollars on a roll.\nAnd they accept \"Boro Bucks\" so whats not to love?",
"Oh Samurai what took me so long? Love this place. Great food, great hospitality, very reasonable prices. BYOB. Got the sushi love boat for 2 for the hubby's birthday. There was tuna shaped liked roses, a great variety of fresh sushi, sashimi, rolls and hand rolls. The assorted sushi was the good stuff, not the egg or the imitation crab that they usually throw in there. Fluke, whitefish, tuna, white tuna, yellow tail (topped with scallions), was beautifully arranged in a giant wooden boat. It came with a california roll, tuna roll, dragon roll, and 2 very large spicy tuna hand rolls as well. The woman went over each type of fish and roll they presented us with. We ate it all but 2 pieces. It was a lot of food for a great price! We had a coupon in the entertainment book and the manager told us there were more coupons on the entertainment book website. We decided to have the tempura cheesecake for dessert, a delightful way to wrap up a fantastic sushi fest! We will be back for the AYCE nights. If you are a sushi fan in South Jersey, you must come to Samurai!",
"Well Ive been here before and It has never been as bad as this past visit. Ok so this is a very nice place inside as far as decor and space. It def has an Asian feel, hardwood floors, swords, and Asian artwork everywhere. The staff although nice were not all that great. My waitress forgot a few things like my drink order, a few specifics about my meal, and the check since she never showed up with it. But the most important reason for the 2* review is the FOOD. It was not good at all, it had a lot liquid or sauce. The veggies were mushy and the shrimp over cooked. For some reason, they like to put orange slices around the plate (my waitress forgot to take those off too) so even though it looks nice it just doesn't really make sense. I probably wont go back since my experience was so bad. So sad, I never gad bad hibachi til now.",
"You know I loooove sushi. I don't eat hibachi so much. It's okay for a birthday party dinner or whatever, but when I go to a Japanese place, I like to order sushi. I like the variety here. I like the creative specials. The sushi is fresh and tasty. The miso soup and green salad are great. I have experienced a bit of a communication gap resulting in some misunderstanding of an order or two, but hey, it is a Japanese restaurant and so if the staff speaks fluent Japanese, I am absolutely cool with that. They are friendly, always smiling, and efficient. They refill your green tea and water often. Thanks, Samurai.",
"One of my favorite places to get quality sushi! First what sets this place apart is their rewards program where you earn points towards gift cards for a free meal and you get a $10.00 gift certificate for christmas and your birthday! Also, the quality is amazingly fresh! The kani salad is nicely prepared and the rolls are artfully prepared and so yummy! The all you can eat deal is sun-thurs for $22.00 a person and it is a super great deal as it includes all you can eat appetizers, sushi and dessert. It has a nice atmosphere inside and the staff is very attentive. Only downside is they get busy once and a while so you may have to wait for your sushi a bit but it is byob and they have a tv in there so the wait is bearable if they are busy and worth it in the end for such yummy fresh food!"

"The overall meal was lacking . First they brought out my son son half raw talapia twice. My other son ordered 3 eggs that looked like 2. We we not impressed. They tried but it wasnt a success. I wouldn't go back .",
"I always expect IHOP to have the homie diner feel and they didn't disappoint tonight. Because this place is fairly new, the design of everything was totally different compared to the old class IHOP we're used too but the food and service was still the same. Our waiter, Steven was great! Always asked if we needed something and our waters were filled at all times. Out of all of us, my mom's sirloin tips and eggs came a little later than us. They told us they actually fell and had to remake everything again but it still came out faster than we expected. I could tell some of the staff were fairly new but still good nonetheless. We went on a Monday evening so it wasn't busy at all. Can't wait to come back for my midnight breakfast cravings!",
"Tired out the new IHOP. Can never go wrong with a trusty IHOP breakfast. Overall I was pleased with the service and food. Got seated quickly. Got our food quick. Server was friendly and attentive. I've had many meals at IHOP's and definitely felt the food was much better today then I've had in recent visits. Portion was good, cooked to perfection, everything tasted very fresh and well prepared. \n\nHowever this location loses a star and almost 2 because of the horrible parking situation. Tiny little parking lot for what is going to be a busy location. And 0 option I see for additional parking to be added or even overflow section. I mean heck we went at 9am before the major rush and place was only on a 10 minute wait and it took me more then 10 minutes to find parking. Literally driving around in circles waiting for someone to walk out to car and then having to fight it out like vultures trying to get that spot that just opened. I can't even imagine trying to go at prime breakfast time on a weekend to will likely never find parking. \n\nSadly I don't see much way to improve this parking issue and it can certainly lead to us skipping this spot if hungry and going at a \"busy time\".",
"Fresh cooked to order food. I only wish the food came out hotter. The syrup bar on the tables are amazing and I will definitely be back. They do a killer Birthday bit with the customers.",
"So far so good- like this new location already!\nThis is a new location and this is my first time here. The place looks great and the staff had such a great \"work attitude.\" \nAfter getting off a 12 hour shift I really needed a good breakfast, so I ordered the steak and tips meal along with the salted caramel (dessert) pancakes. Pancakes were yummy; steak tips were good; mash potato- Not So Much :-( Mash potato was thick and tasted super fake However the hot chocolates (French Toast and regular) that I had were super delicious . Overall the price point for my meal with the exception of the mash potatoes was worth the payment. I never seem to get truly disappointed with the variety of meal options on iHops menus. It was worth the trip and I will be back to this location.",
"Very clean. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Food was great and hot. No wait time. Parking available",
"You would think a new IHOP would pull all the stops to make a good first impression...not.\n\nA breakfast order was never delivered correctly or billed correctly .The service staff was not well trained , OK they were new, still.\n\n3 weeks later I try their dinner items . The Star attraction on the outside billboard and the menu is a chicken dish: looked tasty, taters were good . Cutting into the meat it is raw and frozen #cooking chicken 101. So I try the pot roast, looks good on the menu. The beef was swimming in a BP Oil spill. It was 50W motor oil mixed with flour and strings of onions.\n\nHey I'll give them another shot...on pancakes, can't mess that up right??\n\nThey did not charge me for my meal , thanks.",
"This new location is going to give it's nearby\nbreakfast and brunch competitors a run for their\nmoney. The food and service were very good.\nThe restaurant, including the restroom , is nice and clean. It can get very busy on the weekends.\nI would highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch. The prices are very reasonable for the \nlarge portions.",
"Went there last night after looking at Christmas lights. Had high hopes that were quickly dashed once inside. They had half the restaurant closed which made the other half extremely crowded and had to wait. Okay, so we waited about 10 minutes, not bad... but that's only the beginning. When the host came to get us for a booth, it was surrounded by other diners, up close and personal. When we asked for another single booth, he wasn't happy but obliged, although we had to wait again while they wiped the table off. Then 5 minutes later the waitress came to take our order... okay not bad. But then the wait began... 3 pots... not cups, POTS of coffee later our meal finally came... 50 minutes later... so now we're over an hour and just getting served. People that came in AFTER us had already gotten their food and some were already through eating and leaving! And after all the wait, the food was okay...just okay... my eggs were a little on the runny (snotty) side but the hash browns and French toast was good, although the picture had fresh strawberries and sliced bananas and these were in a sugary syrup... not good being diabetic. I scraped as much of the syrup off as I could... the waitress asked if I wanted them to remake them, I said no way, not waiting another hour for the French toast! Husband's omelet was pretty good and HUGE! In fact we had the rest of it for breakfast this morning. They are definitely in need of more training and kitchen organization... they don't seem to have a clue what they are doing!"

"Food: 5 Stars\nService: 5 Stars\n\nYes, they're finally open! I can't tell you how excited I was when I first saw their store front sign. The Shack has been one of my favorite places to dine due to their versatile menu and friendly staff. It's a super family-friendly place that makes you feel like you're part of their family. :]\n\nWe were planning on stopping by for Mother's Day, but couldn't wait to try their lunch menu. \n\n- Chili: A super hearty meaty chili that warms your soul and fills your tummy. So savory and would be a perfect addition to any sandwich. \n\n- Wicked Good Turkey Sandwich: Melted cheddar cheese, a schmear of peppercorn aioli (I could easily live off this stuff...), and a mound of juicy turkey breast meat sandwiched between a warm pretzel bun. Oh, and there's a twist to this sandwich! They add a bed of crushed Doritos to give it some zing and a crunchy texture! Unique and delicious!\n\n- Mama's Boy: A hearty helping of meats makes this panini a must! Beautifully grilled panini gives a nice bite and the peppercorn aioli adds a touch of tang.\n\n-Sweet Pot Tots: Yes, please. All day, please. Toasty on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside. They're literally little tots of heaven. Be sure to order these suckers. You're welcome. ;]\n\nThanks for a great experience! We'll be back soon!\n\n*edit*\nPhotos below are from brunch on Mother's Day. Waited 50 mins for a table, but the service and food was worth it! (Not to mention they were handing out free mimosas to all the mothers!)",
"I went with 2 other people and everyone loved the food! I got the Witness Protection Omelet with hash browns and an English muffin. The hash browns were seasoned and perfectly cooked. Would absolutely come back! It was exceptional for breakfast food.",
"First time checking out the CC location and it did not disappoint. We LOVE the Shack. Christina was an excellent server. I love that they continue to expand locations... these people know what they are doing. Unique breakfast options and each one is more delicious than the next. Get the gringo killer!",
"Great food and service! Brian R was attentive and personable. Will be back again! We had the avocado burrito and the salmon omelette. They gave us coffee to go, too!",
"I love, The Shack. It is one of the absolute best places to go for breakfast. Creve Coeur is one of their newest locations and it already is providing the high quality service and food that The Shack is known for. \n\nOn my inaugural visit, I sat at the bar as my usual when dining alone. For the short time they had been open, they already had regulars (group of retired men) who were also enjoying their breakfast at the bar. One of the reasons I like sitting at the bar is, I find the service to be more personalized. The bartender/server always ask my name and uses it in conversation. It just makes me feel more welcomed and relaxed. \n\nToday I created my own omelette. I made it with sausage, jalapeños and Pepper Jack Cheese. This meal was before I went low-carb, so the rest of my meal was carb heavy. I enjoyed some crispy hash-browns and a biscuit. I don't know what I was thinking this morning, because I also ordered a side of Biscuits and Gravy. Actually, I knew what I was doing, I just didn't expect a side dish to be so BIG. \n\nIt was all delicious. Being a farm boy, I'm a tough judge on B&G's and they do them right. I wish I could have finished them, but there always is next time. Next time, it will only be B&G's with a side of bacon. \n\nOne of my favorite, Adult Swim beverages is the White Trash Screwdriver. The mixture of pear apple cider with vodka and orange juice is so refreshing. \n\nWill I return? - Yep. \n\nWhen: May 22, 2018\nWhy: Breakfast at the new location",
"Had a very nice lunch today, food was fresh came out fast and reasonably priced\n\nAnd the walls are not completely scribbled with all that stuff.",
"One star for the overwhelming GLARE coming thru the untinted and unshaded windows during the noon hour. I can only imagine how much worse it is when the sun is in the west. I can barely see my girlfriend across the booth.",
"The menu is WAY too big and the selections are unsurprisingly well below average for St. Louis as a result. This is an overrated mess.",
"From the moment you walk in and you see the bacon lit sign,you know you're in for a treat.\nIt was just my sister and I for breakfast and it was amazing!\nOur server Kelsey was fantastic and her recommendations where spot on!\nI had their take kn Chix and waffles The Starchy Cluck and it was very tasty!\nMy sister had an omelette Fresh Chick of Bel Air and it looked amazing.\nFrom the food,service down to the menu item names it is love at first sight and bite!",
"I was so looking forward to the shack opening. It looked very fun and the menu looked really good. My family went a couple weeks after opening and said it was so so. They said hashbrowns were extremely greasy. Finally a day off work and I get to go, I took my daughter. Walking in the place looked very cool and I was excited! After being seated we waited 10 min before anyone coming to our table. Finally a girl asked if we had been helped, we had not so she said then she would help us. Food was nothing special, my omelet was overcooked, and yes my hashbrowns were very greasy. Yuck. Sadly I'll m not impressed and wont be back. It's clearly one of those cool atmosphere restaurants but don't go for the food!"

"Cracker Barrel is one of the best restaurants with the best service, food, and products.",
"Had lunch here today and service couldn't have been better. The food was delicious as always. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice place the have a good ole fashion set down meal.",
"Good place to go for southern family food. They don't serve any alcohol though so if you want a beer with your steak, forget it. The gift shop is really tacky as well. But again, it's comfort food at it's best (and most fattening).",
"My husband and I usually love this place, but the last several times we have been there, something is off. We both got the fire roasted chicken last night and haven't felt right since. The corn inside the foil pouch was brownish, and the carrots weren't cooked through. I really hope they can pull it together soon, because we love going there!",
"If it's a Cracker Barrel, I probably love it. We just found this one close to our new home, and I expect we'll be back often. I keep coming back for Southern comfort food. I had the chicken and dumplings, and they were awesome. \n\nThe problem with Cracker Barrel is that all of their meals are so filling that I never get to try those fantastic looking desserts.",
"I've been to this Cracker Barrel a few times and have never been really impressed. However, it's getting worse. Last time I was here the biscuits were hard as a rock and the ham was like leather. Service has been Ok, nothing special but it's getting worse, as well. This time my it took a while for us to get our food. My eggs must have sat under the heat lamps for a while. My over easy eggs were over hard. My sausage and hash browns were cold. I don't get my biscuits until I was done with my meal. I sat without coffee for more than 10 minutes. Not a place I would recommend.",
"Okay... the service is what you would expect and the food is good.. and within a normal price range. N'joy...",
"This location is one of the best. The staff is very friendly and the food is good/always very hot and fresh. The pancakes are the bomb. I love that they provide real maple syrup. The quality of food may not be as great as when I was little but this one is close to it. I love it too when the fire is going, as well, it makes the place have a nostalgic feel.",
"One of a large chain of restaurants. Food was good (seasoning on the trout was a bit heavy). Service was fine. Location was convenient for our day out. My wife likes the trout and the cheddar chicken specials.",
"I have always liked Cracker Barrel, but DO NOT eat at this location. They have gone downhill fast! No one would wait on us, after 10 minutes I had to ask then another 5 minutes she came. No drinks for another 10 minutes. I ordered chicken and dumplings and they were out! Yes, totally out! So I ordered the hamburger steak, and it was raw! So I had to eat my vegetables without my meat. And one cashier, and a long line to pay. He never asked how our meal was, I guess he knows better not to ask! People in line behind me said its just as bad out here in line as it was in there (dining room). That is my last visit at that location. Oh, and we didn't get any discount off the meal for the raw hamburger steak!"

"Do yourself a favor. Do not eat here. \n\nUNLESS you are tying to lose weight.\n\nI ordered a lunch special to go, and it tasted ok going down. However, come dinner time, my tummy was so unhappy that I didn't eat dinner. I just had Gatorade and went to bed early in the hopes that the demons from the golden dragon would quickly leave my system.",
"0 Stars if possible. This is honestly the worst Chinese food I have ever had, if you can even call it Chinese.\n\nWhile in Tucson I had a serious craving for Chinese food and I drove by this place multiple times on Oracle. Stopping in I was pleasantly surprised to find a pretty full dining room on a Thursday night, which is usually a good sign, right? WRONG! These people don't know good Chinese food. \n\nI ordered General Tso's chicken seeing as how it is a safe dish to order at an unfamiliar restaurant and my girlfriend ordered beef and broccoli. They brought us out egg rolls and wonton soup as appetizers, the egg obviously came out of a package in the freezer and the wonton soup was inedible. I rarely spit something back out but that is what I did with this soup. Off to a great start... \n\nDinner came out and my General Tso's tasted as if it was tossed in ketchup and garlic. How in the WORLD is this General Tso's??? I ate about four pieces and left the rest. The fried rice was equally pathetic and terrible. The beef and broccoli was the only edible dish that was on the table. \n\nWe took the leftovers back to our hotel (I don't know why) and whenever we opened the fridge it stunk up the entire room, keep in mind this is only a few hours after we ate. The smell was so awful that we didn't go into the fridge anymore. \n\nI have never experienced anything like this before in my life. \n\nAVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!",
"As a college student, I visited this restaurant frequently for their reasonable prices and GREAT portions. \n\nI still eat here now and have never experienced an upset stomach or food difficult to eat. I love their hot and sour soup, mongolian beef, and fried rice. The staff is very friendly and always seems very concerned if a table isn't happy with their meals. I have eaten at other establishments and large national chain Chinese restaurants that are also nice, but I enjoy the more intimate setting of this local restaurant.",
"Golden Dragon is a mixed bag. I came for a late lunch. For 1:45 PM they actually had a good number of people. The service was lightening fast and friendly.\n\nThe food was cheap-iced tea was not. The hot and sour soup was completely passable. I had hoped for bigger vegetables but the pork and broth were flavorful.\n\nThe entree came quickly ( almost too quickly ). Kung Pao Chicken... It was definitely lacking in the flavor department. The chicken was tender but rather bland and instead of typical Kung Pao sauce (normally spicy and flavorful) it was served in a generic and somewhat salty brown sauce. The veggies and peanuts were crisp and fresh.\n\nOverall the meal was rather disappointing. Not awful, but below average. \n\nI probably won't be back...",
"The Hot and Sour Soup Is the Best In Tucson, The Servers are Very Nice. The Food is Good and Price is Good too. Lunch is a Deal. If you wish for Hot And Spicy Just ask and they will help you out.",
"Definitely not as good as their Swan & Sunrise location. Every time we've eaten here the food has been overpowered by garlic. My suggestion? Stick to the other location",
"Still a family restaurant run by family, and that matters to me, because whether it's a party of two, or 20, the food is still great, fast to the table, fast checkout, clean bathrooms, typical restaurant, but with a little more love.\n\nMy kids have looked forward to the goldfish tank since they could barely stand on their own. Staff always says hi to them, brings them almond cookies, and treats us all like gold.\n\nOne of a handful of places in Tucson where we can go when really hungry and leave happy (and with some $ still in pocket).\n\nRecommendations:\n\nSizzling Rice Soup\nCrab Wontons\nBeef with Snow Peas\nOrange Chicken with a side of extra pepper sauce\n\nFor dessert, head over to Swenson's for ice cream, across Oracle.\n\nThanks for taking good care of us, Golden Dragon!",
"I am a regular customer of this restaurant for take out and have read the mixed reviews. Although some have found the Chinese/American dishes not to their liking, I would like to suggest trying some of this family-owned restaurant's specials. For example, added to whiteboard in the front of the cashier is a list of Pan-Asian and Vietnamese/Chinese creations like Vietnamese spring rolls in two forms: a deep fried spring roll served with Iceberg lettuce leaves to use as a secondary fresh wrap and a sweet and sour dipping sauce; and a non-fried version with the thin rice paper skin and rice noodle/shrimp filling served with a warm peanut/sesame dipping sauce. Another special is the Khan's Spicy Beef and Shrimp which is basically a Mongolian-stir fried base with both beef and shrimp. In my opinion, the sauce is flavorful and the heavy onions, both green and white, flavor the beef and shrimp well. What I believe to be the Vietnamese twist to this dish is it is served over raw tomatoes which I ask to leave out. Rounding off the specials I have tried, is the salt and pepper calamari served dry. The flavors are really good and the preparation is not overly greasy.\n\nApart from the specials, some classic Chinese/American dishes which I feel pass the test are Ma Po To Fu made with ground pork and black ear mushrooms, Mu Shu Pork, and Sesame Chicken. My critique of these dishes unlike many other Chinese restaurants in Tucson is they are not drowned in sauce full of MSG, too sweet, and/or way too salty. These dishes are prepared quite well at this restaurant as opposed to some of their other classic Chinese/American choices I find too dry and bland such as the egg rolls, all fried rice combinations, and lo mien varieties.\n\nMany of you Tucsonans yelpers who write about real Chinese restaurants typically like to say all of them in this town are only 3-star ratings at best. I want to challenge you all to find some specialties as well as some well-prepared Chinese/American dishes like the ones I mention here so that you don't feel like your tea cup is half empty... but rather half full.",
"I've been going here for years and am delighted to see it's still run by the same family. Food hasn't changed either - which is a good thing because it's always excellent. A small place and never too busy, meaning good service. It obviously lacks the brand-recognition of PFChangs or PeiWeis, but the food quality is just as good.",
"Out of all the Chinese food I've ever had, I've only had \"really good\" Chinese food a few times in my life. However, I've had average Chinese food many times and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.\nThe Golden Dragon serves average Chinese food. I'm not saying the food is bad by any means, it tastes just like 97% of all Chinese restaurants, and I've enjoyed their food just as well.\n\nI suppose I can best critique this place by saying something negative and something positive:\n1. Their hot and sour soup isn't anything special.\n2. I have never gotten sick from the food."

"Went into Industry to pick up a pizza, they recently changed there name but have had many different names in the last few years. The pizza wag good but the drink was watered down. place was pretty full and it looked like a rough crowd. Will go back for a pizza but skip the drink.",
"Craving a pizza and a ice cold beer? This is the place to go!",
"This is the same as Club Decatur (or was Club Decatur..)\nIt's a good place to stop in for some beers or grab a slice or a corn dog when in a rush. Friendly bartender. No complaints here.",
"I was in NOLA for work recently and needed somewhere to grab a late lunch after my flight landed. After dropping my things at my hotel, I set out to find an open-air pub or sidewalk cafe where I could enjoy some food and a book. I came across this place and liked the openness of it, so I stopped in and asked if they served food. They did indeed, so I picked a table by one of the open doors and sat down. The waitstaff and bartender were very friendly and attentive. I ordered a grilled chicken and avocado wrap that was HUGE and delicious - perfectly grilled chicken, melted provolone, fresh avocados, and grilled mushrooms and onions. Served with a generous side of their house-made potato chips, which were crisp yet chewy - I loved them! All of that for only $7.50 - can't beat it. I would definitely come hang out here again next time I'm in town.",
"From the perspective of a four-day tourist at an extremely close hotel:\n\nVery...very friendly bartenders. They are on top of it and knowledgeable.\nDecent beer selection...above average on tap but bottle selection even better.\nGrub...well, had the pizza by the slice a couple late nights...better than average (but remember I may have been in \"find me some drunk pizza mode\").\nInterior is clean and the bathrooms are clean-ish.\nNot just tourists here...plenty of regulars stop in for a round or to read the paper.\nThey could use work on the actual TVs as each day the reception was super fuzzy.\n\nThe best part for me is the very wide open walls and the occasional tables outside...lots of good seating close to a breeze.\n\n\nAlso, Industry is not overflowing with the Bourbon St. crowd...I think you know what I mean.",
"We were here for the saints game and had a great time!! The food is better than most bar food and they have a good beer selection! They do not accept the check in coupon.. Which was fine for us since we hadn't even realized yelp offered such a thing until we were there :) bar tender was great!!!!",
"Great location, great modern vibe, great selection of beer and very knowledgeable staff. We had a great time sitting at a table near an open door, watching people and enjoying the atmosphere and drinks at Industry. It was quiet and not crazy.",
"Decent bottled beer selection, but the draught list is a bit underwhelming.",
"the bartender was very attentive to my needs. Very friendly. Great pizza! The servers were very friendly as well. I was from out of town but the staff made me feel right at home. Will be back when I visit again!",
"Bartender was friendly and entertaining. That's probably the only positive thing I have to say....\n\nNo drink menu available....ok, no big deal. I order an old fashioned, which I believe is a fairly standard drink at a bar. However, the bartender says they don't have what they need to make it (it's about 4 pm on a saturday). I settle on a bourbon and coke, and I must admit that it was a very strong drink.\n\nHowever, before I can finish my drink, a cockroach crawls across the bar directly in front of me, and disappears underneath the cutting board on the bar. Suddenly, I'm glad I wasn't served an old fashioned."

"Your neighborhood bar at its best, The Country Club is located in a quiet shopping center at the intersection of Clayton Rd. and Hwy. 141.\n\nA well kept patio and plenty of outdoor seating is a welcome atmosphere for your pleasant summer evening. Don't forget to inspect the indoors where you'll enjoy an antique, saloon style bar, wood cabin decor and over 15 beers on tap. Happy hour specials and \"upscale\" signature drinks are also to be noted.\n\nA featured menu that far surpasses average bar food including perfectly breaded crab cakes and the original \"Country Club Chips were among my favorite in the appetizer category.\n\nThe large selection of sandwiches and entree's make a dinner choice quite difficult. I opted for the buffalo chicken sandwich served with a generous side of fries.\n\nDon't forget to ask about the nightly dinner specials and my favorite server Sonia!",
"Well, my first experience was actually pretty good. My dad, who I was with, said it first: It is a dive bar. But really, I didn't think about it because they had a decent selection on tap. I mean most dive bars only have Budweiser products, but at least this place was respectful of the snooty beer drinkers living in the area with their selection of Schlafly and Fat Tire (and even Guinness!) products on tap. And for a dive bar, it was very clean.\n\nThe food was alright. I tried the burger my dad had and it was pretty good! For a bar burger I was impressed. My potato skins, however, didn't taste the best. They almost tasted like they were frozen at one time... Hmm. \n\nOur waitress was very nice and kept checking on us regularly. And for a Saturday night, it wasn't very busy. Granted, it was only about 7:30 pm, but if there wasn't a party held by the owner for a parting employee, I honestly would think my father and I would have been the only people in that place (or at least not enjoying the beautiful weather on the patio)!\n\nI'd say if you're in the area and just want a nice beer and hang out with your friends in the far West County, I'd say go here and then enjoy some frozen custard at Eugene's across the street!",
"This is a fine dive on the top section of Lamp and Lantern Village. Got a burger (as did my dining partner), and it was cooked well and quite tasty. The fries are A-OK.\n\nIt's clean and rather dark.\n\nNot too many patrons the night we were there.\n\nQuite inexpensive!",
"Pets are welcome at their outdoor seating so it's a plus for me. The waitress of our table was nice and attentive. Food is good but the menu is limited. Overall experience was good.",
"Long time lurker, first time reviewer, but I couldn't let our horrible experience here go unnoted.\n\nWe had heard good things about The Country Club - nothing fancy, but solid bar-and-grill fare. Sounded perfect for a leisurely Monday evening with the family.\n\nLet me start with the positives: Sat outside, nice enough patio, good weather. Server was friendly and did a reasonably good job. Beer was cold.\n\nBut the food. Oh, the awful, awful food. I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. What came out was: a plate of dry, overcooked fries ... a bun smaller than a McDonalds hamburger bun (quite possibly from Schnucks) that was stale and tasteless ... and the two smallest chicken strips I've seen. They were more like oversized nuggets. Each was about 1/3 of an inch thick and about 2 inches long. I am not making this up. They appeared to have been dipped in Franks Red Hot sauce. And to top it off, the entire sandwich was lukewarm at best.\n\nIt got worse from there. Both of our sons had grilled cheese and those same awful fries. Both sandwiches were burned on one side, and somehow they managed to burn the cheese itself in the middle (we assume it was open-faced under a broiler to cook). The bread tasted like it was covered in salt - which actually helped. Yuck.\n\nMy wife's sandwich (some kind of fish) came on the same pathetic bun as my sandwich, and based on her review of \"I would never eat here again\" after a few bites, I'll assume her review would match mine.\n\nBottom line: One of the worst meals I've ever had. There is an excellent grill-type establishment called Yellowstone Cafe in the same shopping center. Go there instead.",
"Food-Terrible.\nAtmosphere-OK.\nService-Good.\n\nIf you're hungry for a pound of salt on your fries and artichoke dip and some old/smelly fish come here. If you're thirsty, the beer is cold and the TV's are a plenty.",
"I looove this place. For the type of place it is, it's totally perfect. The best time to go here is on a cold night (and we have been here once a week since it started getting cold outside). It's a small bar/grill with lots of wood & brick, giving everything a very warm and cozy feel. They have a large fireplace with plenty of fireside tables around it. The customers are mostly regulars and everyone has always been super nice & friendly, despite being located in the middle of West County a-hole central. \n\nWe always just get burgers and fries, which are nothing spectacular but done right. The burgers are always juicy and cooked perfectly, and the fries are hot and fresh, crispy on the outside and with just the right amount of salt. I did stray from my usual burger once and got a salmon club, which was delicious, although the ciabatta was a little tough for the delicate fish. However, it was a special and not a regular menu item.\n\nThey have a decent selection on tap too, not just the standard Bud & Miller. Although they do offer the usual suspects, you can also grab a Stella, Schlafly, Guiness or Fat Tire. And the domestics are on Happy Hour until 7pm, so you can grab one or two or three for 2 bucks a pop, along with a half price appetizer.\n\nI'm giving The Country Club 5 stars not because you'll get the best food you've ever had, but because their food is really good, the beer is really cold, and it always makes me feel better to go there after a rough day. \n\nP.S. Did I mention that they have a really cute outdoor seating area with a chiminea? And they fly the firewood in from Colorado because it smells so nice when it burns.",
"Tried to get into Rich and Charlie's at 6 on a Saturday night....wasn't happening. We decided to try this place out. The place was quite empty when we first got there, but quickly filled to capacity. The four of us opted to get a burger for dinner. About an hour later we finally got our food. I am not sure if it was our waitresses fault or the kitchen. I do know our waitress was really inexperienced, or just not quite with it. Getting another drink or quite frankly getting her attention for anything was a pain. My burger was good, but nothing to write home about.",
"Love it. Just moved into the area and are thrilled it is so close to us. Employees are great and incredibly friendly, without being phony. Genuine neighborhood joint. We plan to become fixtures.",
"We have eaten here for years. Always good food. Don't know what the change is but we were served the worst burger ever. Small, dry, tasteless, cold and overcooked."

And we didn't orchestrate this! \n\nIf you are ANYWHERE near ANY Capriottis (and they have them in Vegas now) - get the Bobbie. It's turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce, and it's something of a Delaware legend. My husband is a total foodie, and he starts talking about the Bobbie on the plane before we arrive, every single time. It's that good.\n\nIf you are a vegetarian, get excited: they have a vegetarian Bobbie that I ate about once a week as a teenager. \n\nTheir other subs are good too, probably really good, but I only ever get the Bobbie, so I cannot comment on those.",
"Amazing sandwiches. Their Bobbie (turkey, cranberry sauce, mayo, stuffing) is amazing; it is like a Thanksgiving meal in a sandwich. My parents live a few minutes from one so I always go when I am visiting. I wish they had them on the West Coast. Their prices use to be incredibly low but I think they raised them slightly within the last year. However, you can still get a well-sized sandwich for 2 people for less than $10. Highly recommended if you're in the area.",
"Hands down the best sandwiches I ever ate. I had a crucial addiction this place when I lived in Delaware. \n\nFresh bread. Real, shredded turkey breast -- not processed deli meat. Well-constructed subs with quality ingredients.",
"We just moved here and after checking restaurant reviews I tried Capriottis. In one week I've gone four times, if that says anything! What a relief to find quality meat rather than slices of processed 'meat'. Very big subs and sandwiches, I usually have the leftovers for dinner. Kids love the chicken nuggets. Fries are awesome - real potatoes! They have lolipops for kids so it keeps them busy if I still need a few more minutes to finish my lunch. I'm craving the Bobbie and sub with cole slaw right now!",
"Capriotti's is a DE staple. I don't go to any other sub or hoagie shop when I'm back home. Italian and the Cheesesteak with Mushrooms is the way to go. Hometown pride is put into everything they make. If you're in DE at all, be sure to make time for a Bobbie or a cheesesteak.",
"While this is technically a chain, it's still a local business to the Wilmington area, and a delicious one at that. I have been coming for years, and whenever I come back to the area to visit the parents, I always stop by. \n\nThe Bobbi is a amazing and so is the Capastrami. Those are favorites. But if you're looking for something basic the Turkey as well as the Ham and Cheese are still just as edible. And I mean that in the sense that I am NOT sharing. The service can be somewhat timid sometimes, but always friendly and helpful. Love this place. \n\nThey also have vegetarian options and outdoor seating.",
"Awesome food and great customer service! 8 of us were on a 5 hour road trip and we found this amazing lunch stop. Food was plentiful and so tasty. Wishing you much success in the future!!!!",
"UPDATE: this location appears to be closed ( January 2015) . Not sure what is going on with it. PREVIOUS (2012): This is a good sub-shop, especially if you are outside Delaware and are not used to having great subs. There are so many excellent selections for shops in Wilmington, now, it is hard to say this shop stands out among all the others, particularly since it is now more of a \"chain\". My favorites are the turkey sub and the Bobbie (cranberry,turkey and stuffing). Their cheese-steak does not seem all that special to me, however. This place is definitely worth the visit, though."

"Thanks for opening a store in Goleta! A much-needed entry into the deli arena...a better sub than other places around :)",
"Ew. Ew Ew Ew. (Each time with a capital E). Gross and grossly overpriced (I think I paid something like $8-9 for a tiny, crappy meatball sandwich). I don't particularly like Subway or Quizno's, but they're far superior in just about every way (price, selection, dare I say, quality). I give 'em 4-6 months. The franchise owners should have tried Togo's before deciding to peddle this crap. There are places I'll happily pay $8-9 for a quality sandwich (Three Pickles and South Coast Deli come to mind), but I'll never be back to Jersey Mike's.",
"I was excited when I saw they were coming, but my sandwich was average. Subway is cheaper, more choices.",
"I'm a huge Jersey Mike's fan, and I was excited when I heard they were opening in Goleta. Their subs are amazing. The bread is delicious, and the ingredients are fresh. They cut the meat and cheese right in front of you. I recommend the #8,9 or 13. The mayo and bacon combo on the clubs is just amazing. Be sure to get all subs Mike's Way!",
"I work near this location and my coworkers told me they had great sandwiches with fresh, delicious ingredients... so I was excited to try it out. Unfortunately, I soon discovered my friends are morons and/or have no concept of good food. This was absolutely the most awful, dry, bland, disgusting sandwich I have ever eaten. I had to throw it away. It was overpriced and overly hyped. I will NEVER eat there again.",
"WELL... How do I say this ... Subway in a Gucci Bag..\nNot a fan.. Tried the Turkey #7 ... dull.\nAnd what no AVO??\nPssft...",
"Holy Toledo are those sandwiches big!\n\nThere were 2 guys ahead of me that were a decent size (each were over 6 ft tall and average build). I overheard them talking, one guy saying that they could share a giant sandwich, since it was pretty big. They were not kidding!\n\nWith a BOGO coupon (+2 drinks) the bf and I decided to get two giant subs (knowing that I could save half for lunch the following day). We got the Original Italian and the Cheese Steak. These sandwiches were GINORMOUS! Definitely longer than my arm, and maybe even the length of my leg. (Yes, I'm a shorty...) But the Italian (ordered \"Mike's way\") was piled with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, and oil looked like delicious subs you see in commercials or on billboards. The Cheese Steak is cooked fresh, not just heated up like Subway, so it took some time for it to come out.\n\nWe like to share, so I got of the Italian and gave him of the cheese steak, with the other halves put aside. I started on the cheese steak first. It was right off their stove, so it was piping hot, with cheese covering every inch of the meat. It was tasty! But after I was done with that, I was pretty full, and had about 1/8 of the Italian. That was also pretty tasty, but not very distinctive from other Italians I've had elsewhere. \n\nI had the last half of the Italian for lunch the next day and it held up pretty well. (Although I did forgo some of the bread, since it was still pretty big!)\n\nFinal verdict: The cheese steak seemed worth the money, but the cold subs are just as good as Subway or Sam's To Go in the plaza across the street. If you get a giant sandwich, which will run around $11-$12, it really isn't a bad idea to share it.",
"Great subs but a bit pricey.",
"Philly Cheese Steak fans of Santa Barbara...Look no further than Jersey Mike's!\n\nSince I first moved to the Santa Barbara area in January, I've been looking for a great Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich, but up until now, I've ultimately been disappointed. Jersey Mike's crushed that disappointment with a great cheese steak. It was made exactly how one should be made with thin strips of beef, melted cheese, and with thinly sliced grilled onions and peppers. While the sandwich was very large, it left me wanting more because it tasted that good. I never expected that, especially considering the place is known for it's sub sandwiches and not cheese steaks.\n\nPrior to ordering the cheese steak sandwich today, I had been Jersey Mike's a few times before and ordered regular sub sandwiches. The sandwiches are good as well and fairly large. I love their bread that they make. Jersey Mike's definitely has its own unique taste.",
"It was OK, nothing really unexpected. What you see is what you get, totally expected from a sub place. Although, I think their food is better than Subway or Quizno's. These businesses aren't here for the service anyway, but for the reasonably priced \"OK\" food they offer. \n\nI noticed that Jersey Mike's has store openings around Orange County, that means business is doing well. Good job!"

"On a less than crowded night, at 8 PM - Far past the dinner hour - I went here with a couple friends and we had a final group of 10.\n\nThe wait to get seated was nothing at all for the number of people we had - 10 minutes - However our wait was just starting. We then had a 35 minute wait to get our first round of drinks and refills would come about 45 minutes after that.\n\nAfter waiting over an hour we were finally asked for our orders and those came about an hour and a half later.\n\nWhile we waited we had plenty of entertainment watching our waitress skirt around back when she caught our glance.\n\nAs for the food, while I am sure the quality is the same across the country, I think that the wings were horribly over priced.",
"Typical chain food, and my wife has bigger you knows... but now i can say i have been to hooters.. and i realize i wasnt missing anything .. next time i will go to buffalo wild.",
"Great food. Service is usually pretty good, but, it's kinda lame when your waitress sits at another table for 20 minutes and shoots the shit with another guest when you need another beer or are ready to order...",
"I did not appreciate the kitchen staff engaging a couple of waitresses in crass sexual conversation about one girl's \"thickness\". I don't get the \"Capri-length\" jeans that two of the cooks were wearing. My boneless wings were fresher than half of what I saw leaving the kitchen but overlooked and dry. Server had a good attitude and was generally OK.",
"Its a Hooters, need I say more? But if I must they got good looking friendly servers, the food was hot came out very quick and the beer was icy cold.\n\nGot seated right away, got a bigger table than necessary due to the fact this place wasn't busy at all on a Friday night. All in all above average for this town which coincidentally doesn't have any wing joints other than Hooters and Tilted Kilt. \n\nRated a four due to the nicer waitresses and speed of food delivery. Rachel my waitress was amazing!",
"Ehhh...we brought a group of 8 but they would not accommodate us. Not even when a big enough table came available. The wings are great, though!",
"The wings are actually pretty good, but the service is wanting for two reasons:\n\n1) Slow. We got chili cheese fries appetizer. I asked for more jalapenos. By the time the waitress came back with the jalapenos, the kids had finished all of the fries. Yes, my kids eat like a pack of wild dogs, but she was very slow.\n\n2) They threw away our leftovers. Sure, it's our fault we forgot it. But we went back about 30 minutes later and they had thrown it out. WTF. They probably threw it out as they were cleaning the table. \n\nThe waitress was sloth-like, except when it came to throwing our forgotten leftovers out.",
"I've been to this Hooters on two separate occasions. Food tastes average amd service is pleasant, but nothing extraordinary. I will definitely return if I'm in the area just because I like the wings and tots, but nothing I would highly recommend.",
"From the moment I walked in I should have known it would be a bad experience. The bartender told me to sit anywhere, ten when I did she then old me that where I chose was going to be \"a pain for her to get to\". I then moved to a table to avoid the bartender who was preoccupied with the two regulars at the bar. \nMy waitress was nice when she was there which was rare. I have come to know that hooters girls don't spend a lot of time at the table, but none? I stressed to my server that I was hungry and would like a salad BEFORE everything else. I have eaten here and at other locations many times and know it will take a while on my main food, so I planned ahead. I waited 38 minutes on that's salad which was followed by my food another 10 minutes later. I got 8 boneless wings and sliders. It took over an hour. Just bad!",
"I have always enjoyed the service at this Hooters. I have always found the servers friendly and my drinks refilled quickly. But the thing that actually makes me keep coming back when I have a choice of where to go is the off menu Triple Dog Dare sauce for the wings (which is so hot it is off menu). This sauce is the hottest in all of northern Indy and as long as it is available ... I'll be at this place as often as I can make a visit."

"I ordered the grouper sandwich. I was not impressed. I probably wont be heading back.",
"It's not the best cuban food around, but you can always count on it to be good. A little pricey for my taste, it's cuban food so for me there's no reason to pay $8+ for a portion of rice/beans/pork and this is the cheapest dinner on the menu. Recently had the \"Tortilla Española\" for breakfast and it was very good.",
"First of all, don't expect any great service. I guess they're not known for this. I was starving when I arrived there and was in such a roast pork mood, I thought this would be the perfect place. Boy was I mistaken. I ordered the Roast Pork Sandwich and was so dissappointed. I took the first bite and can say that it tasted like a tub of salt!! It was so marinated in the Mojo and extremely DRY. I was so hungry though I struggled thru half of my sandwhich. When another customer came back to complain about the pork, I walked up and said that I agreed with her and that it was terrible. I only got half my money back though because I ate pretty much most of the half of my sandwhich. Only after she told her kitchen staff that I had overheard her and decided to complain as well (in Spanish, which I speak very fluently in, although you wouldn't think so). I thought that was lame and almost told her to keep her money, but I took it because I thought why not, I should get what I deserve.",
"Good authentic but a little pricey. Need a good mobile site though cant really use the site well from the dog park looking for a to go order",
"I ate at Pipo's during two visits to the Tampa area, and both times I was pleased. The food is authentic and, in my opinion, priced fairly. (I'm surprised by the reviews that say the food was overpriced!) I stuck with traditional dishes and sampled the ropa vieja, picadillo, and roast pork, along with a long list of the available sides, their cafe con leche, and guava pastries. (Yum!) Two thumbs up for the young gentleman behind the counter, too; he was always very friendly and eager to answer any questions I had about the menu items.\n\nThe only thing I was bothered by, since I'm nitpicky like this, is that the trays were most likely only wiped down before use so they were a bit sticky; I would recommend thoroughly washing them after each use instead.",
"Food is delicious! I've seen some other reviews say the food is pricy. Yes, it might be a little more than average, but the amount of food you get is incredible! I can't possibly eat my lunch in one sitting--I usually have to save half for dinner or lunch the next day. Yummmm, Pipo's. I'm thinking of having some right now!",
"In order to be bipartisan, I must say that Pipo's food is not bad... it just wasn't that great. For the price, I did expect a little more flavor per say. There are much better Cuban restaurants in the area, but it wouldn't 'necessarily deter me from making another pit stop here. My boyfriend got the classic Cuban, which was standard, nothing special, but tasty none the less. I order the roast pork, with rice and beans & yucca. Meh. Could've used more flavor. The customer service was spot on though. They were friendly and attentive and got us in and out in a very timely manner.\n\nUpdate: while I may not venture here for lunch, I will come here any day of the week for their bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on pressed cuban bread. Amazing and enormous! Enough to feed two girls easily, but for the South Tampa men that \"like to pick things up and put them down (at the gym)\", they'll be pleasantly surprised at the size of the breakfast sandwich :)",
"I am ranking this solely on breakfast, as I'm not a huge fan of the type of food they serve the rest of the day, but I must say the breakfast sandwiches are AMAZEBALLS! The breakfast cuban is on crispy cuban bread, scrambled eggs, choice of cheese, choice of meat (I am partial to the american cheese and bacon)-- it comes out pressed, hot and oozing with deliciousness. The staff is sweet, they are quick to ring you up, and there are always interesting political-types dining in the morning. My boyfriend tried the cafe con leche last week and could not say enough positive things about that either. I definitely recommend stopping in some morning for a delicious breakfast sammie!",
"My co-worker always brings amazing smelling leftovers from Pipo's Cafe for lunch so I finally had to try this restaurant for myself. Unfortunately, after my recent visit I see that I was not missing out on anything special. \n\nThe restaurant is not much to look at. It's a small, dingy cafeteria-style restaurant. Since I called my order in advance I was able to skip the line. \n\nI ordered the Ropa Vieja with seasoned green beans and black bean soup. For $10.65 I had enough food for lunch and dinner. The ropa vieja was very tasty, but my \"seasoned green beans\" were canned green beans and my black bean soup was dry and over seasoned with bay leaves. My co-worker ordered the Cuban sandwich. It looked much better than my bland tasting side dishes and was under $8 so maybe I will come back and try the Cuban sandwich or the Mojo pork and yellow rice.\n\nOverall, there are much better (and cheaper!) Cuban restaurants in Tampa so I probably wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.",
"Ok Cuban breakfast... Not good, not bad, just ok..."

"The meal: Edamame, Wasabi Tobiko Roll and Rainbow Roll. Marginal, at best. The edamame was the only delicious part of the meal. But, this restaurant cannot take credit for what Mother Nature did! At least they added salt and heated the edamame to the correct temperature.\n\nThe sushi rolls were almost fair. The problem: they both contained chopped fake crab - which was definitely NOT mentioned on the menu. I detest fake crab. At least tell me up front so I can make a choice. Not worth visiting. Not fresh or authentic. The table was sticky, the whole place was dark, the walls were covered in cheap-o bamboo mats that you'd use at the beach, and the overall decor was Goodwill-ish.",
"The food is very good. The lunch hibachi deal is a great deal. The servers are always very nice. The only thing I hate I feel like throwing up after I eat way to much food.",
"After spotting this place by accident, I've eaten here several times. The parking lot is small so I often go around the block and park alongside the building.\n\nThe sashimi and the rolls are always fresh, tasty, and nicely presented. The regular sushi dinner comes with more than enough food and includes salad and soup. I enjoy sitting at the sushi bar & watch the chefs work. Friendly and receptive, interacting with the chefs are part of what I enjoy about dining here. Their miso soup uses silken tofu and has a nice flavor. My most recent bowl of green tea ice cream tasted a bit freezer burned so they apparently don't get much call for it.\n\nThere appears to be a strong local following based upon the number of folks having their birthday here. The hibachi (teppanyaki) grills are popular and the chefs are fun to watch \"perform\" while cooking.\n\nThe service is attentive and friendly, and the staff is always happy to see you.",
"Absolutely the best hibachi in the area. My wife and I make a weekly visit here. Sometimes twice a week.",
"Best hibachi in the area, especially for the price!!\n\nJapanese soup, salad, rice our noodles and two shrimp come with dinner.\n\nThe fillet is delicious and makes sake sushi my favorite steak house. Everything is consistently delicious!\n\nI am more or less addicted to this place!",
"I received some of the worst food poisoning of my life after dining here and eating their sushi. \n\n Like Tamia said, the ingredients are not fresh and authentic, it is like knock off sushi (best way I can describe it). They try to make it look jazzy but what really lies here is a hidden beast waiting to erupt and rebel... in your stomach!\n\nIt is a dark dungeon atmosphere wise the service is meh and after the bout with several days of sickness, yeah I will not be back.",
"Lunch at hibachi table is great. Really good prices too.",
"Every time we are in the area, we eat here. The staff is friendly and the food is amazing. Look at all the wonderful pics. They even have sushi made with brown rice. A little crumbly but tasty and even healthier than regular sushi.",
"My boyfriend and I went here on our first date and have continued to go for two years. It's in a sketchy part of Williams (what part of Williams isn't sketchy?) and was weary to go here when it was recommended by a friend. First of all, the staff is HILLARIOUS and super friendly. The hibachi is not overpriced at all (9.95 for lunch hibachi chicken and 15 at dinner...comes with fried rice, vegetables,soup and salad at both times) and is generously portioned...I always have leftovers. \n\nWhen I'm not feeling the hibachi their sushi is great! I recommend the jazz roll...super filling.\n\nIn my opinion, this is one of the best kept secrets in Kenner, as far as hibachi/sushi is concerned. Give it a try!",
"Do not confuse this with the local chain, Sake Cafe. Sake Sushi Hibachi House was the worse sushi experience of my life. Went in for takeout, right before the dinner rush. We had 2 orders. First issue, asked the woman what was in the dragon roll. She pointed at the menu and shook her head yes. Ok? The menu didn't have the ingredients listed for the roll. After ordering, we waited 25 minutes before our first order came out. Both were ordered at the same time, so you woukd figure its right behind the other. It took another 30 minutes before the second order came out. While we waited, I saw 3 groups of people come in, wait, then leave because of the lack of service. Keep in mind, only 1/2 the restaurant was full. One guy asked the hostess if they were next, she said \"When you see people leave, you next!\". This was a Friday night, hate to see Saturday nights! Never again. Sake Cafe in Chateau has my business from now on."

"PICKLEMAN'S IS AMAZING!! If you're not sure what to try ask a manager (preferably Ann) what they like or recommend. The menu has no real limits with such delicious ingredients and possible combinations for pizzas and sandwiches.",
"Came here today for lunch. The service was absolutely horrible. Call in orders were taking a priority over the people in the long line. The sandwiches are just average with nothing fancy happening here! I wouldn't recommend it!",
"Awesome food! Nice and fresh salad! The driver wasn't too friendly but that's okay. The delivery didn't take long at all!!! We will be ordering again!!",
"Good food. I think that it has potential. The place just opened up. The sandwiches are ok but only come in one size. Love the late night delivery",
"Pickleman's is the best sandwich place around! Pizzas are great too! I especially love anything with giardinara peppers. Don't forget to finish up with one of their home made chocolate chip cookies! Yum!",
"I can't even talk about how excited I was when I learned there was a Pickleman's coming up near me! I've ordered it many times and stopped by there once so far. Their delivery is always ultra fast, and the order has never been wrong :) \n\nI always tell people, you cannot go wrong ordering from Pickleman's. Sandwiches are good, pizzas (really, flatbreads) are good, salads are good. Here's the other thing - THE COOKIES ARE REAL GOOD. So soft and chewy. Cookies are very important to me. My personal favs are the chipolte chicken sandwich, asiago chicken salad, and grilled cheese/tomato bisque combo. This last one is my fav especially for chilly/rainy days. \n\nLove you Pickleman's! Writing this review makes me want to order ASAP this week!",
"Pickleman's is a great place if you're looking for a good, filling, won't break the bank lunch.\n\nI stopped by to pick up something quick and ordering was a big confusing, especially where to start the line and where the line should wrap around. Once all that was figured out the menu was pretty easy to read. I picked the BLTC for the family member with me, minus cheese and added a small side Caesar salad for me. Chips were pricey but of course added for that crunch that one needs.\n\nBoth were delicious and eaten right up.\n\nI cannot wait to go and try other things from the menu. This is a great lunch stop.",
"Great sandwiches made fast. I love the Italian but I have never been disappointed. Pizzas and salads are great too!",
"Stopped by today for lunch. Food was very tasty. Service was also very good. I had the pick 2 option with broccoli cheese soup & the turkey bacon club. I also bought one of their cookies. I wish the portions were bigger in the pick 2, as I'd expect it to be a little more filling. Food quality was pretty top notch, however. I think ordering both as a full order would have been a better choice in retrospect. \n\nI'll be back",
"We ordered pizza to go and were sorely disappointed. It was tasteless, we were unable to add jalapenos or mushrooms to the 'za and the whole experience was underwhelming. We'll pass."

"Great branch of brother's pizza from Langhorne, PA establishment. I go there for lunch at least 4 days a week and the grandfather's and the brooklyn pizza rock. They also have a lunch special every day, so you also get a great deal as well",
"Every other Friday, pizza and wings both done just right and they never disappoint. Friendly staff, good food, order is always correct and done quickly!",
"Best slice of cheese pizza you're going to get. As long as it's hot. I'm only rating that nothing else considering that's all I ever get there.\n\nJust give it a shot. It is a hole in the wall but it's nice inside. Great take out place. You definitely pay for it.",
"Definitely the best pizza in the area, and some of my favorite overall. I love the white pizza with ricotta, and family really likes the BBQ chicken pizza. Little more expensive than typical pizza chains, but it's absolutely worth it for the quality. Usually I order for pick up, and even on the weekends the wait time isn't crazy, which is nice. Highly recommended!",
"There's not a lot of good pizza places in this area but Brothers is definitely the best. I love their pan pizza, and their they aren't cheap with the toppings like a lot of places. Fast delivery too!",
"Best pizza in area. BBQ pizza actually has chunks of grilled chicken on it. Sandwiches here are legit as well.",
"Awesome service and food! The guys are always welcoming and friendly. Love this place.",
"Best pizza I've had in Pennsylvania and I've been here for 12 years. Great sauce and perfect cheese. Always consistent. Also love the subs and chicken parm. Can't go wrong here.",
"Highly recommend. Great food, great owner. We order from here at least once a week. The pizza is terrific.",
"We regularly order pizza from here. And normally it is some of the best pizza in Bucks County, \nThe past two times haven't been that great. We ordered a large pie with half pepperoni. The pizza was so greasy that we had to blot it with napkins to soak it away from the slices.\nI don't recall it being that greasy in the past. Will it stop me from going here. Probably not. I'm sure it was an anomaly and will be great next time."

"nice little dive for breakfast. very cheap and big helpings. lot of locals seem to go here.",
"Worst breakfast I have ever had. Ultra slow service. Server seemed to be spaced out.. Its hard to mess up breakfast well they did. Food was tasteless and way too much for nothing. Forget about it.",
"I've been coming to the Covered Bridge for many years now and still believe that this is one of the best local spots in Pinellas County. It's a mom and pop restaurant that serves diner style food for very low prices. They only offer breakfast and lunch, but the food is very good for the price that you pay. There have been a few times were we would have to wait a very long time for our food, but in the end we know that their service is great 98% of the time.\n\nAlso, keep in mind they do not accept credit cards, so make sure you have cash on you. They do have an ATM inside if needed as well.",
"Six people; solid, simple, and large breakfast; friendly staff and lively atmosphere; $33 bill. Love this place!",
"This place is awesome. I ordered Shepherd's Pie. Had leftovers for two more meals. My daughter got spaghetti with Italian sausage and same thing and it was great also. Highly recommend.",
"Nice little local diner. Cash only and the prices are so low I'd rate it half a dollar sign if I could. The food is average breakfast and lunch stuff. Nothing on the menu that seemed unique and caught my eye. They do basic stuff and they do it pretty well. Service was just OK, the waitress was over tasked and the place was crowded. Seating was a bit confusing since they don't have a hostess and the place was busy. Overall a good experience if you are looking for an inexpensive meal!",
"Well, Covered Bridge is a place we have been missing. I grew up with diners, living in N. Jersey, and this place is as close as you get! We went this afternoon, and missed out on the Homemade Corned Beef Hash, but, we will be back for it.\n\nService was outstanding, granted it was 2 in the afternoon, most people are out and about, especially today. The meals were very reasonable for the cost, and the serving was more than adequate.\n\nWe will be frequenting the Covered Bridge now, great diner in Dunedin!",
"Two stars - the service, friendly attentive. \nI ordered the fisherman's platter with coleslaw, French fries and green beans. The coleslaw was straight from a container, the green beans screamed for seasoning. The French fries were great. The seafood was all from frozen, cooked ok but also desperate for seasoning. The price of $7.95 was probably right for the quality. \nMy husband has meatloaf and mashed potatoes - the meatloaf needed salt and the potatoes were instant and needed salt and more liquid. \nThe sweet tea, spot on.",
"great place gets a little busy because the food is just so good you can't go wrong huge pancakes downside is cash only but he does have an ATM inside",
"Had excellent service. Ordered Shepherds Pie which I'd had before and loved it. This time it was just ground beef and potatoes on top, no vegetables at all. Had a cup of chili as an appetizer and it was really really good. Their prices are great and I've had other things there that are really good so I would recommend this place to anyone. Just hope they change their shepherds pie, because it was excellent before."

"looking swanky! Completely different image than the New Brunswick location lol \n\nOrdered the Hakata ramen-- creamy pork bone based soup and thin al dente noodles. Exactly what I expected! The sesame and garlic bits sprinkle was a nice touch on top. Egg was a tad small but soft boiled very nicely. Chasui was very chasui-y lol. Noodles were delicious but I just like to note that everything was VERY flavorful. Not sure if they were afraid diners would find it bland otherwise or if they think Chinatown locals have a palate for heavier tastes. Anyway, a very nice addition to Chinatown and love the big menu to accommodate for all different types of diners. \n\nLooking forward to coming back~\n\nFYI 20% off till the end of april according to philly.com!",
"Can't complain about the new ramen addition to Chinatown! As it is right around the corner from Teraka Ramen, i can't help but compare. Both are small restaurants, and fill up quickly. At Rai Rai, there are 2 full pages of ramen to choose from! I didn't even know so many different combinations were possible. I went with my go-to miso ramen soup, and my bf ordered the shabu shabu beef ramen. And to start, we got the pork buns and edamame. The pork buns were like mini Japanese burgers, and delicious! The edamame portion was a little smaller than I'm used to, but I didn't mind once I saw the size of the ramen bowls! The food was delivered extremely fast, so I'd imagine tables are turned relatively quickly. The miso ramen was delicious, and I loved the garlic added to the broth. The charsui was also the perfect mix of meat and fat (hate when they serve you an overly fatty piece). The shabu ramen was also delicious, and pretty spicy, which wasn't indicated in the description. Overall I thought the ramen was more favorable than Teraka's. My only complaint was the chopsticks... They were just about the smallest and cheapest that you could buy. As a ramen joint, I think you should put some money into a good pair!\n\nThere was a sign on the door indicating it was cash only for the night, so assuming they will normally take credit cards. And it's 20% until the end of April so get in while you can!",
"Broth: tasty\nNoodles: ok, but brought out somewhat undercooked\nOverall (Miso Soup): poor form. No egg included, fishcake is listed but it's only one and laughably small. The meat was tasty, but also small.\n\nFor the money do yourself a favor and try Cheu or go a block north on 9th and try Tarakawa for the same price you'll get more food.\n\nSo overall, for the price, the Miso soup is weak.\n\nThe Chicken Katsu appetiser was cheap, but the chicken meat itself was a bit strange and they gave us a terribly small amount of bbq/sauce with the chicken so as to nearly be useless.\n\nI won't be coming back at the prices they're charging. \n\nThe atmosphere is clean, but exceptionally boring and overly bright. Turn your TVs on and/or open the kitchen so I can have fun watching the chefs make the soup!",
"I had lunch with my friend here today . We ordered the Hakata ramen and chicken katsu curry rice . The were soooo good . As well as the service. Waiters are so nice!I love it ! Worth to go. I will be back soon.",
"New Ramen joint, you say? Yea, I was excited too, but don't let those hopes get too high.\n\nThe pork buns were boring. The pork to bun ratio was lacking and the flavors fell flat for me. \n\nThe Kimchi ramen was subpar. The miso based broth was surprisingly thick and although very rich, it was lacking a dimension of flavor that I couldn't quite put my finger on. The noodles were OK, but nothing to write home about, and the pork just reminded me of your run-of-the-mill chinese-take-out pork. The best part of the bowl was the kimchi which was just alright. Also, it does not come with an egg, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, rice cake, corn....or anything else for that matter; it was just kind of naked.\n\nMy husband ordered the chicken katsu curry ramen. The chicken katsu was actually pretty good. The curry ramen was acceptable as well but not quite tasty enough to bring me back.\n\nThe service was good and pretty put together. Our server was very kind so no problems there.\n\nWhile I didn't withhold stars for presentation, the bowls were pretty sloppily put together. Many ramen houses that I've patronized take pride in their presentation and attention to detail, this just didn't cut it.\n\nRai Rai's is the RC Cola of ramen. It was a valiant effort, but I just don't buy it. If it was the only ramen joint around, it might stand a better chance, but there are too many other heavy hitters to compete with.\n\nIMO, better ramen can be had elsewhere in the area like Hiro or Terakawa for the same price or cheaper. Several other ramen joints offer a higher quality ramen with better attention to detail, higher quality ingredients, and a better put together menu.\n\nI will return to try something other than ramen, maybe they just need to shift their focus to their non-ramen offerings.",
"I am a bit biased since I worked at Terakawa Ramen around the corner for almost 3 years and love everything on the menu. However, I went to Rai Rai with an open mind. The decor was a bit cold and bland but it wasn't terrible. Our server was very nice and attentive. When asked about suggestions, he kindly offered his advice. Following his suggestion, I ordered the Hakata Ramen. My sister ordered the shabu shabu ramen but she changed the broth to a shio broth. My boyfriend ordered the Japanese fried rice. We also ordered the mochi ko fried chicken as as an appetizer. The chicken appetizer was actually really good. It had a great crispy crunch and a tangy almost wasabi BBQ dipping sauce with it. It is not comparable to Terakawa's karaage chicken since Terakawa marinates their chicken prior to dredging and frying. The Hakata ramen was good. The broth was light but a bit under salted for my taste. Their noodles are okay, nothing special. However, I don't like their pork. It's very very fatty in my opinion. The fried rice was a bit boring too. It was a large portion but it was bland. The best thing in my opinion was their chicken and their service. Our server was great and maybe I will come back to try different ramen. I think that their large menu may negatively impact them in the future.",
"Being the ramen lover that I am, I had to try this place ASAP. I had high expectations for this place, but unfortunately I have to give it a 3.5 out of 5 with the potential to be a 4 out of 5 if they work out a few kinks. \n\nThe restaurant is clean with modern decor. As you walk in, there are regular tables that line the left wall, high tables in the middle, and bar seating against the right wall. \n\nI came here with my bf around 7 on a Tuesday evening and we were seated immediately with no wait. The servers are very friendly and courteous, but they forgot to provide our table with water or ask if we wanted anything to drink. The server is likely new or just being trained, so I'm sure this is not going to happen in the future.\n\nI was pleased to see the extensive menu options with so many varieties of ramen!\n\nWe ordered the roti canai as an appetizer. It was tasty and well prepared (not too soft, not too crispy), but I'm not sure if the 2 roti and some dipping sauce is quite worth the $4.50. I'll probably try out another appetizer option next time.\n\nI ordered the Shio ramen which was absolutely delicious. Firstly, I love that it's served in a nice bowl with a large ladle type spoon. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the broth was amazing! It's not too salty, not too thick/greasy, and packed with that lovely bone broth flavor! The fresh scallions and fried garlic add to the savory flavor. The pork was also perfect - tender with just the right amount of fat on it. BUT, they charged me $2 for half an egg (what the heck!). I like my egg a tad bit runny, but this $2 half-egg was fully hard boiled and the yolk a bit dry. \n\nMy bf ordered the mini shoyu ramen set which comes with a small bowl of shoyu ramen and 4 goyza for $11.95. I wouldn't recommend ordering the set since the ramen bowl is significantly smaller and you only get an additional 4 pieces of goyza. Although the ramen is delicious, the goyza was subpar as the inside had a soggy texture and the outside skin was not crispy. \n\nThey should consider adding a section to the menu in regards to how much extra it is for additions (ie adding an egg or extra bamboo shoot, etc). \n\nI would also be nice if they provided real chopsticks instead of the cheap disposable wooden ones that you have to break apart. Maybe I'm just paranoid that I'll get a tongue splinter. \n\nIt was nice to get 20% off (promo until the end of April).\n\nThey still had the \"cash only today\" sign up, but hopefully they will start accepting credit soon. \n\nI will definitely be returning to try other menu items.\n\n**Edit**\nA few more visits and months later, this place has definitely climbed to a solid 4 stars in my book. I think they had to iron out a few things in the beginning, but service has been great each time I've returned here.\n\nI usually stick with ordering a Japanese Ramen; I love both the shio and shoyu ramen. The specialty ramen are more pricey but you get more. I've tried the Hakata specialty ramen and it's delicious.",
"I ordered the house ramen, it was so good and delicious! It was the best ramen I've ever had in my life; the broth was tasty and the noodles were cooked properly, everything was on point. The egg was almost fully cooked, I like it a little bit more on the runny side, but I didn't mind, I still enjoyed eating it. That's the only one I've tried so far, and I can't wait to order it again. Service was friendly and the food came out quick; they're offering a 20% off till the end of April.",
"We were regulars of their former outpost in North Brunswick, which sadly burned down. We always had consistently good old school ramen, the kind I used to get in NYC growing up. The menu in this new Chinatown, Philly is not surprisingly similar to the late New Jersey branch. \n\nMy daughter and I got our old standbys, the hearty Mapo Doufu Ramen and the Curry Ramen with Chicken Katsu. Both had nice firm ramen in piping hot broths. But it was the lack of depth in the seasonings that brought us the realization the cooking staff was not the same. The silken doufu in the Mapo Doufu was good enough and there was a decent amount of ground pork, but the sauce lacked the doubanjiang depth that is essential in the dish. Likewise, the curry sauce in the Curry Ramen was thin. \n\nI addition, the pork bun appetizer was average. The pork belly was moist and tender enough, but the addition of the pickle and what tasted like Russian dressing reminded me of a Whopper. Too many better versions of this close by to get again here.\n\nThe service was satisfactory. No credit cards were accepted the evening we dined.",
"New ramen spot in ctown, of course I had to try. It's cash only, i have no problem with that but for those that are use to just swiping, stop by the atm prior.\n\nTheir menu definitely has more options than most of the other ramen shops i've been to. One side of their menu is in english, the other in chinese, hence why there were tables of louder chinese ppl than the average ramen shops...\n\nPork bun was a bit of a disappointment.. Whats with that pickle? Who puts a pickle in a japanese pork bun? The pork looked like it was just boiled and my bun was cold. \n\nI went with the basic, Shio Ramen and hubby got the Shio Charsiu Ramen. The difference? He had three extra slices of charsiu... Same size bowl... Just a price difference... And no egg. Did we order wrong? Were we suppose to request the egg that I would normally get @ Terakawa and Hiro and along with all the other ramen shops?\n\nThe taste was average, not wow'd by it. The flavor in the broth wasn't strong enough. The texture of the noodle was ok. \n\nI would still choose Hiro over Terakawa, Terakawa over Rai Rai..for now."

"Iced coffee with flavored syrup is awesome - no sugar or creamer necessary. I don't recommend coffee with pumpkin spice or blueberry though. \nThe Dunkin Donuts is attached to the Baskin Robbins, and there is a drive-thru. The Baskin Robbins ice cream seems to be so artificially bright colored, but there is still the classic rocky road and other great flavors. About $4 for a two-scoop cone. \nAs far as the donuts, muffins, and bagels, they still have some in the evenings, but your best bet is earlier in the day. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing even for dinner!\nIf there is ever a promotion (like for 31 cent ice cream or free ice cream on Mother's Day, go to this location - the one near UA has lines out the door on those days).",
"*Decaf Iced* Coffee -- for about the same price as half a gallon of gasoline!",
"Do I really need to have a big screen of Glen Beck shouting at me while I try to buy a damn donut? I don't think so.\nStopping for a donut is a rare treat for me. Pulled in this afternoon, knowing I'd had a small ealry lunch and wouldn't get dinner until really late. Garbage can overflowing near door. Lots of folks blocking the door, just hanging out smoking. One guy working the drive-thru, no one at the counter, several people in line in front of me, no sign of any service, and Faux News blaring Glen Beck at me in line while I waited and waited. No thanks. Turned around and left. There would have been no joy in choosing something from their sorry-looking smudged glass case anyway.",
"Best summer drink ever:\n\nFrozen tea lemonade!\n\nGo and get some today!",
"Donuts are great however everything else is pretty much meh.\nI have to agree with the other review. This place is always overcrowded and way understaffed.",
"THE BEST COFFEE, I usually get the chocolate donuts and the Boston kreme ones. I can eat those all day, but this is just a treat shop that I visit every once in awhile!",
"Since when did we start charging for courtesy glass of water.....???? To add to insult, they label it as an extra \"shot\" of cream to justify their charge. I have my favorite DD for since this was on the way I decided to stop by...not until I received my change did I see the extra charge. Dont get me wrong, I can surely afford 35 cents, but c\"mon. And NOOOO , did the lady at the drive thru offer a \"courtesy cup\" rather she charged us for a \"shot of CREAM\". Cream this DD on Grant...I'll never come back to your nasty place!",
"We arrived here to find this Dunkin Donuts being completely renovated so the place was missing a lot of customers. We went in and were welcomed by a burly lady who barked at us to \"order everything at once\" so she could get it all done with.\n\nWow, no time to think or look at the wall menu? Then a young girl then stepped in and asked my personally if I was getting coffee. I clearly told her I wanted a large coffee with sugar and cream (I remembered the coffee as being very good). \n\nThis same girl stared at me, and asked \" Do you want sugar and cream with your coffee?\" I answered with a yes. She looked at me again and asked, \"What size do you want?\" I wanted to laugh. To be honest, I don't think the girl was mentally here on Earth (she looked dazed). Luckily I got my coffee quickly and left. Unfortunately the coffee tasted burnt (as if it sat on a burner for too many hours) and it had no sugar.\n\nI hope the renovations make the place look great but I hope their service doesn't suffer much more since I can't say their coffee or their service is very good at this location.",
"DD has the best coffee, besides any place that brew Italy or my own kitchen. Why three stars, the waits kill and so does the limited access. Off the top of my head I can think of three locations (22nd and Craycroft; Grant and Swan; and Oracle and Magee) any others? I don't think so. So, with the limited access come long waits. I have wait nearly 20 minutes in the drive through on a non-work day for coffee, why because it is worth the smooth, creamy, amazingness they call Dunkachinos (coffee and hot chocolate).The price is very reasonable and the donuts are calorific, but delicious----especially the pumpkin donut! \n\nThis location is under construction, but still open. It was time for a makeover and when done, she'll be a beauty, hopefully with speedier service. \n\nImprove your service time and you will get an extra star!!!",
"Major big time upgrade on the building. The place looks fresh, the service was really friendly and it was packed with customers. We always walk in since the drive-thru line is always long. We tried their donuts, a bagel ,and some Baskin Robbins ice cream. All of it was really good and for under $8. Next time I will try one of the ice cream cake bites since they look so good. I think they added more seating outside and the seating indoors is definitely more spacious. We shall return!"

"I went here for my mother's birthday dinner. She always talked about how this place is amazing so i experienced it for the first time. I always ride my bike past it on rides that I do in the area and on their sign, they have gold duck. \nThe parking is ample and the restaurant looks to be in an old converted cottage. Upon approaching, there was a great patio for outdoor seating and the first thing I noticed that many of the patrons were over 60 years old or at least looked it. I felt dread creeping in my body for what would be on the menu, like almond and green beans and the like.\nUpon entrance I was early for the reservations so I was offered to go to the bar. The bar was very nice and dark with some tables for people who walk in. They had a very nice selection of drinks but only one beer on tap, Blue Moon. I had a Sierra Nevada pale ale from the bottle. \nThe other half of my party arrived and I went up to the table in one of the 4 dining rooms.\nI may add that there more old people here than at the old nursing home I worked at in high school. \n\nOur waitress was extremely nice and amazing after rattling off the specials I dove in to the leather bound menu and they had a ton of appetizers and then a few selections for a main course and then \"steaks and chops\"\n\nI chose the steak frites because some of the other choices did seam like they were for the older crowd. My steak was perfectly cooked and my frites were actually potato wedges which were disappointing but they were extremely tasty and seasoned very well.\n\nNow onto the atmosphere, it looked more like your grandparents' living room and it was extremely loud. I guess they forgot their hearing aids.\n\nIf I were to come back, I would go for lunch or something to see if there was a different crowd.",
"Our first time at the Mainland in was the night after my wife and I got engaged. On that Sunday night we were able to celebrate the occasion by enjoying a great dining experience. When we arrived we were excited and explained to our waiter we were out celebrating. We put in our drink orders and looked over the menu. As the waiter returned we were pleasantly surprised when he told us our first drinks were comped because of the occasion. What an awesome gesture. Our entrees were really good. My NY strip steak was huge with a well seasoned compound butter. Truly one of the best steaks I've ever had. My wife had smoked blue fish that was really good also. Our wonderful dinner was finished off with a great dessert, I think we had cheesecake. \n\nThe second time we went was for my wife's birthday and we went on a Friday night. The service again was great and we actually had the same waiter as the first time we went. The food was pretty good, not nearly as good as previously. I, as I tend to do, ordered the duck and my wife ordered a roasted chicken dish. The entrees were rustic with good flavor, but not as good as we had the first time around. \n\n\nUnfortunately there is bad news. While we were trying to enjoy our meal a group of six people sitting at a couple of tables talked loudly, and eventually crowded around a laptop stationed one of there tables as one person began to give what I guess was some sort of business presentation. I kept looking over at them wondering \"is this really happening?\" I was pretty peeved about this, especially because I would consider Mainland Inn in the fine dining category of restaurant. My assumption is they were staying at the Best Western about two miles away and were directed to Mainland as a good place to eat. Regardless it was quite rude and our waiter looked over a couple of times and also seemed annoyed. I hope this was an anomaly, but I'd have to say, especially since the Mainland Inn is on the expensive end, we may not go back because of this experience.",
"Continental in PA.\n\nHaving been in the area for business, we decided on this place for a nice long lunch. Since the weather was gorgeous on that particular day, we were able to take advantage of the rear patio area for some al fresco dining. \n\nThe place is very nicely done. Situation in and behind an old house, the place exudes charm. It would be a great place to bring a date if I lived closer. - MUCH closer.\n\nThe menu is best described as continental and there was a nice selection of goodies for every type of palate. I had a very good salad to start and a Roasted Red Pepper, Leek and Goat Cheese Tart.\n\nThere were about 6 of us and everyone seemingly ordered different things - and everyone was satisfied. \n\nPrices- not sure for the area, but not out of line with what I'm used to in NY.\n\nI'd definitely go back if and when in the area again.\n\nParking on the side.",
"Poor service, half decent food. Staff is friendly",
"Went to dinner here shortly after it reopened. It's a little out of the way, but it's totally worth the trip. I understand that brought in a chef from the French Laundry, which explains the great food. Everything was fresh and organic, even the beer! (I was a little skeptical about the beer but it was good.) The atmosphere was perfect for me and my family and the staff was great. This definitely a must try!",
"Exquisite food, great staff and decor. The best in the far suburbs. A long-awaited and updated and improved reopening of a local fine dining restaurant and casual bar. The chef accommodated dietary needs with creativity. Can't wait to return.",
"Outstanding total dining experience for a newly opened restaurant. \n\nFrom appetizer to desert - the quality of the food was excellent. Eclectic ingredients and presentations added flavor and diversity to our evening. \n\n\nWill definitely return.",
"Delicous and conscientious food. What they are doing for the community is great. Love the desserts. Cocktails could use some love. Great staff and friendly service.",
"I went to the Mainland Inn with friends on a Friday evening, and we loved every aspect of it. From the decor and ambience to the service, and most importantly the food, everything was impeccable.\n\nWe shared the relishes to start, and then each had an appetiser, a main and a dessert. Every single dish was amazing, both plated beautifully and tasting incredible. Highlights for us were the crab with cauliflower custard, potato gnocchi with miso for a lovely umami hit, as well as the duck with raviolini, which was incredibly juicy and flavourful. My friend had the lamb shank, and while I didn't try it, she said it was so tender and melt-in-your-mouth that it seemed almost liquid. The desserts were all to die for. Between us we had the tartelette, the chocolate soufflé and the sundae. I would definitely recommend going with a few friends so that you can try a bit of everything, because it is all sumptuous.\n\nFor a place that serves such fine dining, the atmosphere was comfortable and not stuffy at all. None of us got particularly dressed up and we felt perfectly at ease there, probably because of the friendly and incredibly attentive wait staff.\n\nAll in all, that meal was one of the best I've had in a long time, and it was definitely worth the drive out from Philadelphia. Will be returning to see what Chef Ezra and Chef Sandy come up with next.",
"UPDATED review:\nThis will be my second time dining at the restaurant, the first time being their opening night. Our group wanted a more casual experience so we decided on the bar instead of the dining room. We were very impressed with the decor of the bar; good lighting, charming with a lot of character and the seats were comfy. For apps we had the Piccadelli (type of pickled relish), the scallops, the sunchoke soup with salty cod, and the shrimp. My personal favorites were the soup and the shrimp. We ordered the hamburger and the roast of the day. Both were excellent. Burger was cooked perfectly medium and the grass fed beef had such amazing flavor! I loved the tomato jam sweetness in the burger. The star of the night was the roast of the day. It happened to be the pork which was cooked for 60 hrs! Served on grits with vinegared greens. Everything was perfect together. I am pretty sure my bf licked the plate. For drinks we all got different types of organic beer. It was all around a great experience and the chefs sent out a small taste of shrimp two ways and that made for a memorable surprise. We will definitely come again. I enjoyed the service, we had Nina (the only one at the bar) as our server and she took really great care of us. She was knowledgeable about the beer menu and the food. As always, loved the bread and desserts (consistent from the previous time we dined, which for me is important)."

"They have definitely classed the place up a bit! Interior looks great. We went for dinner on a Saturday night and they had a steady crowd. We sat at the bar and sampled a few craft beers. Had the shrimp scampi app, crab cake entree, and shrimp risotto. Everything was hot, delicious, and appropriately priced. \n\nLooking forward to going back to try the sandwiches - they looked amazing!",
"Yum ! Enjoyed a great dinner in nice neighborhood spot. Wings and risotto balls to start both were delicious . Tortellini with ham and peas in Alfredo's was my fav! Meatloaf was awesome and shrimp and risotto was great! Mini cannoli was perfect ending. Good wine menu and lots of craft beers (like the name says:) service is A+ ! friendly servers and bartender!",
"I need to say this over and over again just so I can believe it for myself. \n\nWe have a nice legitimate restaurant in Briarcliffe. \n\nI've been here twice. Both meals have been fantastic. The meatloaf sandwich has the potential to be a Delco legend. It's really that good. I can't describe it. You have to experience it. \n\nMy wife called her tortellini dish perfect. The Putino appetizer has to be tasted to be believed, as do the Stuffed Long Hots. \n\nHell even my son's chicken fingers tasted better than most places. \n\nToday I went back for a burger. Another home run! Get it with the bacon that has an amazing smoked flavor to it. \n\nI hope they're around for generations. I really do. This place has to stick around.",
"Wanted to check this place out since it replaced the pub and it didn't disappoint.\n\nGreat beer selection, great food, great atmosphere all within a small building in a residential neighborhood. Locals know about the location but judging by how good this place is, I'm sure more and more people will stop by.\n\nI had the risotto balls appetizer, which were cheesy and delicious, while my crab cakes tasted fresh. All in all a great meal.",
"My experience at the Cedar Craft and Kitchen was amazing!! The atmosphere was laid back and cozy, the food was absolutely delicious, the service was on top of their game, the drinks were just right, the music was to my liking, maybe a little to loud.... I love this place! I will definitely be going back again. I would highly recommend this place..",
"I don't know about anyone else in the neighborhood- but when I first heard - I was checking any and every article I could find out this place. I counted down , even kept calling to find the official\nOpening date... my husband an I went the first week they opened - needed reservations. We enjoyed a selection of drink specials and craft beers on tap - we were immediately drawn to\nThe selection of beer and specials.... of course we had to get the risotto balls, mussels in white, and Putino to start. Yes. Yes. Yes I will be ordering all\nThree again. Then we split the \"mic\"\n- wow, something so simple made perfectly was better than expected. So\nThat will not be my only trip of the summer, or June for that matter... about a week later we came for lunch, right when it opened. Quiet , small crown. Bartender was great, personable and friendly. Made suggestions for drinks and food... that day we had mussels in red ( which now that's some inner mussel competition going on) and the wings. At first I thought, wings... most are similar , too fatty not enough crispy... I was wrong. Lots of meat and lots of crisp. Then we split the chicken Dijon... and so glad we did. The ham being griddled changed the whole component of the sandwich. And same as the mic - the bread is perfect, nothing could match better. Had a variety of what's on tap. Owner was present, friendly sparked a conversation. You can see he is genuine - and they want nothing more than to have this restaurant thrive... which I think in 2 small weeks, it has proven Bar CCK is here to stay. And thank god. My biggest regret - it's been 2 weeks and I haven't tried the entire menu.. I am working on this - and guarantee by July 4 I will have. If I could get here everyday I would... thank you cedar craft and kitchen for bringing incredible food and a great craft selection 36 feet from my basement.",
"First and foremost the food was excellent. We all got appetizers to share risotto balls the stuffed long Hots and the potato wedges with bbq pork and cheese curds, these were excellent. The stuff long Hots were a little hot for me but the others thought they were good. I myself got the crab cakes they're very good the sauce on top was excellent, my mother got the shrimp risotto that was delicious my father got a shrimp Caesar salad my brother and his wife got burgers and tortellini and my husband got the chicken piccata. The food was very good and I can't wait to go try the food again.\nThe service was very nice but a bit slow. There was only one server and a bartender, the restaurant was getting full, we are all servers so we know what it's like. We waited a little longer for our drinks then we should have, one more server would have been nice. But all was great and can't wait to go back.",
"Okay...so happy we gave this place a shot! My husband and I stopped in around 7 pm, there were two people at the bar and a couple seated at a table. The inside is small but nicely decorated and has three large tvs. The bar looked pretty well stocked and seemed like they had good beers on tap. Just a warning the outside is extremely unassuming, you're basically in the middle of a neighborhood and their entrance is off of the street.\n\nWe were greeted immediately by a friendly, young girl who seated us right away. Our server (Kylie or Kayla was her name) was attentive and told us all of the specials. We both started with Caesar salads and I had a glass of Pinot noir. The salads were pretty large which I was happy about and the Pinot was yummy. \n\nI had the mussels in spicy white sauce and my husband had the salmon special. The white sauce was SPICY, I like spicy food and even my nose was running from it. The mussels were massive and delicious. Husband really enjoyed his salmon as well.\n\nOverall a real neighborhood gem, if you are looking for a nice date night spot or a quick bite out during the week I definitely recommend!",
"We tried this place for the first time on a Friday after work and it was excellent. The drinks were strong, delicious, and priced very well! I'm sad I only took one photo. We had the Putino and it was very good! The service was prompt and everyone including fellow patrons were very friendly. I can't wait to go back.",
"Had dinner here twice. Crab cakes and the meatloaf are very good! Quickly becoming one of our more considered choices for dinner when trying to decide where to eat. Still working out some kinks it seems with service in general, but food quality and decent craft beer selection keeps us coming back. Sent several of my family and friends here who all had great meals. Looking forward to their menu expansion!"

"Perfect opening celebration! I had the shrimp tacos, my partner the chicken enchilada mole and my daughter burritos.\n\nThe shrimp tacos were fantastic! The flavor was the way I like: neither mild neither hot. The side salad was an explosion of different flavors on my mouth, depending of the ingredients I added on the fork.\n\nThe service was amazing, always with smile and the waiters telling every details. The mole sauce was with the perfect punch of Mexican chocolate.\n\nMy kid told she could have that burrito everyday...\n\nAnd... In the end.... Churros with dulche de leche and vanilla ice cream. Do I need to tell anything about it?",
"These guys and gals knocked it out of the park. The decor and interior is gorgeous. Family friendly as all get out with high chairs, booster chairs, and changing tables in the bathrooms. Staff is warm, attentive, and enjoyable. Then came the food. All of their food is fresh and made from scratch, down to the chips and salsa. The \"wet\" ancho sauce steak burrito was the best I've had outside of Chicago. My wife loved her steak tacos too. Prices were honestly low considering the product you're getting. Drink menu was fantastic too. Wife got the blackberry blitz. Refreshing, crisp, and fresh tasting. Full package here. Come here as often as you can.",
"I've been counting down the days till this place opened! There are not enough good things to say. The decor is beautiful, the staff is friendly and it's all a reflection of the incredible owners. The real star, as it should be, is the food. I tried the 3 tacos. I mixed it up and got one steak, one chicken and one pork. They were all fantastic. It's hard to chose, but favorite was the pork. There was a smokiness about it that literally made me say, \"oh my gosh\" out loud. Every detail from the grilled tortillas to the seasonings and veggies paired with each taco just make it the perfect bite. Even the side salad it came with was so colorful and light. My friend ordered the shrimp tacos (owner recommended) and she absolutely loved them. Oh and make sure you try their sangria! I enjoyed every moment of my Mekenita experience. I can't wait to go back and try the churro dessert. (They ran out but we could hear the tables around us raving about it.) I am beyond excited to have this Mexican restaurant so close to us. Mexican food is an easy thing to make cheap (hence all the chains). This place does it right! It's the best ingredients, fresh (fresh fish filleted every morning) and creative! I CANNOT wait to return!",
"Wow one word amazing. Its always a good sign when service goes 6 star level and the food matches it. I just a bit of backstory i been to old location on van dyke tried few things not the tacos. Steak tacos were refreshing pack with flavor. Loved the plating. Free chips and salsa u cant go wrong this place is mexican but on whole another level. Chefs by what i tasted take pride in what they create. Even though they put of churros when i request dessert went with chocolate cake which was interesting take. The truck roll up while fi nishing they fired up me the churro and ice cream man it knock out the tastebuds cant say this enough but amazing a must try for dessert if u done here. All i all first day open but looking forward to many visits to come. Oh yeah love the decor of the place and the bar. Much needed addition to Seminole heights foodie scene.",
"This was one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever been to. Amazing flavors, atmosphere and people! A must try!",
"I had the shrimp tacos which had soft corn tortillas right off the grill that gave them some char and nice crunch. The tacos arrived at the table steaming hot. Shrimp was cooked perfectly and had wonderful flavor with just the right amount of heat. It came with a nice, fresh salad with a citrus dressing that was light but flavorful. Claude had the crab enchiladas with lobster cream sauce, it came with beans, rice and a salad. Claude said, \"this is like gourmet Mexican food,\" and I couldn't agree more. We also had chips with salsa and a side of guacamole. I like a little less lemon/lime on my guac, but it was still great. Everything was spot on perfect. Service was fast and super friendly and she checked back on us often. Super big portions, we needed a doggy bag. \nWe will be back!",
"So thrilled you reopened. Love the new location and the new menu. The food is fresh and delicious, just as before. I can't wait to visit again and bring more friends.",
"I've been twice since opening, and the food is yummy! So is the sangria! I've had shrimp tacos & the shrimp salad. Both were delish! Servers are friendly & attentive. I just wish it wasn't so noisy as it's hard to have a conversation, hence 4 stars. They need more decor, wood beams or something to dampen the noise.",
"This place just opened so all early reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. I will certainly not comment on the service at this time.\n\nWith that said, the food here is great. It's a thoughtful take on standard Mexican cuisine. Each dish we had from the table chips and salsa, egg rolls, and entrees was well conceived with layers of flavor. Oh and it's well priced. So happy this place opened in my neighborhood.\n\nThe one knock we had was the mole sauce. I understand traditional mole is made with cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, but the amount of these spices used in the sauce were a bit much. My wife's burrito kinda tasted like a snickerdoodle. I don't think this was the chef's intention.",
"For just being the first week open, Mekenita wowed us! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because the initial interaction that we had with the bartender seemed a little frazzled. She brought out our chips, but waited a few minutes to bring the accompanying salsa. She also wasn't able to locate a pad of paper for our order, so we had to speak up as she stood at the computer. Understandable that this piece needs a bit of time to get comfortable.\n\nThe food itself was EXCELLENT. We began with the smoky chicken and black bean egg-rolls. Whatever queso-type sauce was on the plate was the bomb. It was cheesy, spicy, and tangy. My boyfriend ordered the steak burrito which was massive (he brought half home) and I ordered the mahi tacos. The tortillas were grilled crisp, allowing the cheese on the inside to get to that lovely crunchy/merry consistency. The picked veggies were a perfect touch in the taco, and it came with a nice little side salad. We'll definitely be back to try more!"

"Always delicious I've never been disappointed. I'm a frequent customer. Not sure how long they've been here, but it's nice having this kind of food local.",
"Best of the best! I recommend you guys to try their lamb! It's not processed lamb but real hearty lamb chunks!",
"Best of the best! I recommend you guys to try their lamb! It's not processed lamb but real hearty lamb chunks!",
"So far, I've tried the chicken tikka kabob combo (#1) and the beef kofta kabob combo (#2) which both come with a soda. I was not disappointed at all. The white sauce is absolutely amazing since it gives whatever you top it off with a blast of flavor. Also the packaging (tin foil plate with plastic cover and assorted items) really increases the eating experience. \n\nI will definitely come back again and I really want to try the other items on the menu. Also, the owners of this food truck are also owners of Moe's Gyro behind Smith Hall at the University of Delaware (business not on Yelp). That food truck is delicious and convenient since I am a student.",
"Loved there food..I ordered chicken kebab combo..the chicken was really tender,juicy and well cooked with perfect seasoning..Try out there food for $9 with drinks it's a huge portion of flavorful yellow rice 7-8 big pieces chicken kebab,1 pita bread and a side of grilled onion and tomato..Also try out their falafel..it is also very yummy..they are In front of Dover diner..",
"I ordered a lamb and chicken mix rice. Hot and perfectly cooked meat over rice.",
"Tastes great and it's cheap! If you're on lunch break, then I suggest ordering ahead by phone for the kabob part of the menu. The meat had a great smokey flamed flavor to it and everything tasted fresh since all orders were cooked to order. Definitely will go back for more!",
"Consistently BANGING! We hit this truck once a week and never have been disappointed. The owner is so nice and passionate about his food. Chatted with him once and his day starts at 5am to buy fresh ingredients DAILY and start preparing food for the day. Stays open until 8p. Cleans up until 11pm. Up again at 5a. He does this EVERYDAY to deliver the freshest food possible. I just LOVE this truck!!",
"Coworker thought he'd give this place a try and picked up some of their chicken pita's for us.... WOW!!! Amazing flavor and everything very fresh! We are hooked!",
"I have to say, approaching a food truck is an ominous endeavor...\nBut this GEM sets a standard!\nI tried the Combo #2 and the Chix Gyro\nThe food is fresh tasting and made to order.\nI enjoyed every morsel of the tender meats and fresh greens!\n\nMore, More sauce next time!\n\n**Order ahead for the platters**"

"The wings were great as usual and the service was good but not great. What really caught my eye was that there were people waiting for a table the whole time I was there and when I looked around there was always 3 or more tables with no one sitting at them. Seemed to me that the hostess was having a hard time keeping up.",
"OK - the food is average to maybe slightly above. And of course, if you like hot wings - come here. I tried the number 12 in heat (out of 15, 15 being the hottest) and couldn't finish them . I shudder to think how hot the top wings must be!\nThis place obviously caters to the young sports loving crowd. Very noisy. Not what I'd call a place to relax. Kids liked it so it can't be all bad.",
"The place is very noisy, the food is overpriced and mediocre (though it seems like they are attempting to improve their menu lately), and the service is hit or miss.\n\nWith all of that said, I can't think of a better place in Edwardsville to watch a sporting event with a group of people. They also have one of the better beer selections in Edwardsville which is a plus in my book.\n\nDue to a lack of better options, BWW you win by default.",
"CRT TV's? Really?? First of all, this place needs major updating. Second, the service could be better. The food was fine. Tastes the same as most other BWW's I've been to, but the restaurant overall needs some work. I know we're in a small town, but as one of the few restaurants with a bar in the area they could do so much better and attract more clientele. My consulting services are available if they need help on becoming \"cool\".",
"WHO DOESNT LOVE BDUBS!!!!!\n\nGuilty pleasure, i love this place! \n\nGood bloody marys and beer specials all the time.\n\nBoneless wings, nuff said!",
"I don't like BDUBS! Last night was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a really long time. Let me just start off by saying this place is really loud. Don't expect to carry on a conversation let alone hear what your waitress is saying. \nFirst of all, I ordered the soft pretzels as an appetizer. You had your choice of honey mustard, spicy mustard or any one of their hot wing sauces. I ordered the spicy mustard given that I'm kind of traditional when it comes to pretzels. Their \"spicy\" mustard is actually plain yellow mustard. What really irked me is that the appetizer came after our entree. \nMy entree was the Black & Bleu Burger. I ordered it without lettuce, tomato and onion. I know, I know but I don't like that crap on my burger. When the burger came out it had everything on it. I mentioned this to the waitress who's response was do you want me to get you something so you can scrape it off. I know I had a deer in headlights stare as I couldn't believe she expected me to scrape shredded lettuce off a sauced encased burger. Really?? I asked her to take it back and get me a new one. Guess what? She took it back and they scraped off the crap and brought it back. By this time I had enough and ate it anyway. The burger itself was unimpressive. Everything was cold and the bun was soggy. My wife ordered the buffalo chicken flat bread pizza. She was unimpressed and only ate less than half leaving the rest. She also ordered a black cherry mojito. She said it tasted like a watered down cherry limeade from Sonic. \n\nThe only plus to this place is they have a pretty decent beer selection. \n\nManagement really needs to get their act together here if they expect to stay in business. There are plenty other restaurants in E'ville that will gladly take my money and return an excellent dining experience.",
"This place is a much needed break to a hectic week. Their drink and wing specials are super. I really like their spicy garlic wings. The dessert isn't the best, but who really needs dessert with all the wings?",
"Good sports bar, and good food. I love BWW, but since I've been in St. Louis, I've been drawn to more local bars, and I like them. Solid all around.",
"This is a mediocre BWW--and it is the BEST BWW in the area which tells you how bad the rest of them suck. The wings are not good here and the sauce selection doesn't come in different heats, i.e. you can get mango sauce but not mild mango sauce which means if you don't like it hot then you have to pick another sauce. They will mix them up for you and some of their sauces are very good and some are very bad. The preparation is wildly inconsistent as I order well-done wings--which show up however the cook feels like making them so they can be rare or cooked to jerky. I personally believe that inconsistent preparation is the worst trait a restaurant can have. McDonald's built their entire franchises and company on the premise that consistency in taste was the most desirable thing they could have and the Big Mac I ate in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul, Bangkok, Frankfurt and other exotic places I needed a taste of home were EXACTLY THE SAME as the ones anywhere in the USA. Franchises need consistency and the only consistency BWW has is that it is consistently mediocre.",
"Service is on par with being verbally castrated by Fran drescher. Food is nothing special. Be ready to leave pissed. We have Tvs. So does everyone else. There's beer, and a waitstaff that is taken straight from apathy heights next to I don't give a fuck mountain by who cares ave."

"This little place definitely fills a niche on Main Street in downtown Moorestown. It provides affordable asian food in a casual, slightly upscale setting. The menu adds a selection of Japanese, Thai and Vietnamese cuisine to the typical Chinese mix. There are at least one or two Vegetarian/Vegan options in each section.\n\nWe ate here shortly after the grand opening on a Saturday night and there was a ridiculous amount of people waiting to dine and pick up their takeout. Despite all of the chaos and our list of special requests, the service was great and no mistakes were made.\n\nMy order of sesame tofu came drenched in a sweet, but light sauce and was served on a small bed of glass noodles. The portion size was just right and priced reasonably. My boyfriend had the Vegetable Teriyaki which was also much enjoyed.\n\nBottom line-- we will be going back.",
"Since the first time I dined here, I've ordered their take-out three times and they seem to really skimp on the quality of the food when ordering to-go. For example, the most recent occasion they completely left the broccoli out of my General Tso's Tofu. Small things like this and similar inconsistencies are disappointing. If they were out of broccoli (which, for a Chinese restaurant, I find hard to believe), I feel that it would have been appropriate to at least substitute a comparable veggie.",
"Great food, great price and also good dine in atmosphere. I found the Viet section of their menu fairly authentic and very delicious. \nMy fave is the BBQ pork over vermicelli with Viet spring rolls. I'd give it 4 stars if my experiences so far (3-4 visits) continue, they have been consistent although I've yet to try their Chinese or other Asian dishes.",
"Yeah, I actually gave this place a third chance.\n\nLast week, I'd just gotten out of class and needed to grab a quick lunch before heading into work. I asked the woman at the front counter if they could do General Tso's Tofu in the lunch special, since only chicken was listed. She said yes. I also asked for a spring roll.\n\nI should have checked before I stopped at home to eat, but my order was made with chicken and the spring roll was an egg roll. I got back in my car, went all the way back to the restaurant and politely told her that I wanted tofu, not chicken. Now, this is the part that pissed me off and is a good example of terrible customer service. She acted as though I was lying and told me that I ordered chicken. At that point, I informed her that I don't even eat chicken and therefore never would have ordered it. She refused to chalk it up to a misunderstanding and insisted multiple times that I ordered chicken. Believe me, the word 'chicken' isn't even in my food-ordering vocabulary and hasn't been for years.\n\nFinally, they remade the food. However, I'm pretty sure they merely scooped the chicken out and reused the same container (I guess to save having to toss the rice and broccoli), because I found little bits of leftover chicken after I ate the tofu.\n\nEither way, I won't be going back.",
"Great restaurant for a casual dinner. I have frequented the Haddonfield branch for years. Glad to see they expanded to M'town. Great variety, service, convenience. My favorite Chinese restaurant.",
"I hate to give a low rating but this restaurant......is a no for me. \n\nWe came here for some quick sushi to go because we all assumed that it'd be cheaper than Akira. Well, I can't attest for how much cheaper it was - if at all - but the quality.... There were a lot of cucumbers in place of avocado, and smaller portions of crab meat as well as smaller pieces in general. I got three rolls, and each bite was a reminder of my poor decision in choosing here.\n\nNow, maybe this is a poor food item to use for judging a Chinese restaurant, but the service was bad too. Not once did the lady greet us, smile, or seem remotely helpful and willing. And to top that, they wouldn't accept my credit card (even though it worked fine for the next place that we went to) for some reason and I had to gather spare change from my friends to pay the bill. The place definitely didn't possess the friendly atmosphere of a good restaurant, and it wasn't even busy! \n\nMaybe I'll go back out of desperate necessity one day. But until then, I'm heading elsewhere.",
"Well done OP!\nWe were both craving some type of Asian fair, but I wanted Thai, hubs wanted Chinese so we thought we'd give this place a shot.\n\nIt was rainy and gross last night so there were a lot of people coming to grab take out and maybe only two or three tables occupied. It's small inside, but clean and brightly lit. I didn't inspect the bathrooms.\n\nThe gentleman running the front of the house is darling...he asked if we liked chicken wings because they were on special and little different - garlic chicken wings. I was about to say \"nah\" because I'm SO OVER SPECIALS and the stupid cost, but he pretty much read my mind and said \"they're half off!\" Allllllright. \n\nThey have those fried vegetable chips (like the spongy stuff) out of the table for you to snack on instead of noodles. \n\nThey came out, six of them, and had the texture of General Tso's with a garlicky, semi sweet sauce. Good, too sweet for my tastes but JR C. loved them. Price tag? 2 freaking dollars. \n\nI had the Pad Thai, JR had garlic chicken and scallops - the portion sizes are tremendous and they both had a price tag of $13.95. There was a significant amount of large shrimp in my PT which were delicious, but not as much chicken - it was really good and I found I was on a scavenger hunt for more chicken. The sauce on the PT could have had a bit more \"oomph!\" for lack of a better word, but they mentioned not using peanut oil and I'm pretty sure that was the flavor I was looking for. JR's portion size was huge, and again, they were not stingy with the scallops. He had a side of fried rice and this was the only \"no\" for me - it tasted like it was made with brown rice and was kind of boring. \n\nThe service was very polite, doting...but not annoying. \n\nOverall, a very nice place to come get a tasty bowl of something heavy! I couldn't really imagine getting sushi here when Akira is right up the road; but for Vietnamese, Thai, or Chinese, I will definitely be back.",
"Ordered take out Chinese and was very disappointed with everything. Got 2 qts of wonton soup with only 4 very thin noodles in it ,chicken was cold and bland but the pork fried rice was descent and it was a bit expensive. The place inside seemed nice and clean and the guy at the desk was very friendly.",
"This is the best Chinese restaurant around. The food is first rate and the portions large. The service is fast, friendly and efficient. My friends and I eat here once or twice a week.",
"I first discovered the Oriental Pearl when my friend suggested it for lunch in Moorestown a few years ago. After that, my husband and I went to the Haddonfield location. Recently, we got a GC to the Oriental Pearl for my in-laws for this past Christmas, and since they used it, they have been back so many times that the waitress knows them! Needless to say, everyone loves this place. The service is friendly and the food is delicious. I am kind of bored with Chinese food, so I love that this place also offers other Asian cuisine. Most recently I had a veg. spring roll, which was not too heavy or greasy; a vegetable sushi roll, which was fresh, crisp and flavorful; and the broccoli with garlic sauce with brown rice. Everything was excellent. \n\nMy husband had the General Tso's chicken which he thought was great. Our party of 5 got a ton of appetizers for the table, and while I couldn't eat most of them, being mostly meat, everyone raved at how good everything was. The Chinese Pizza was probably the best I've had.\n\nI need to make a better effort of coming her. My husband often craves Chinese, but I'm not up for it, but knowing that the Oriental Pearl offers some Japanese, Thai, and Vietnamese, I know that I could get something a little more interesting."

"As Holy Cross residents, we love to see restaurants and markets pop up and thrive in the area. We make a point of supporting those that open because we want the area to offer more food options in particular. We were disappointed when Arabi Eats closed, which was the restaurant that was previously located in the space that The Kitchen Table Cafe currently occupies. \n\nThe interior of the space has been updated; the new owners have made it much brighter and more welcoming than it was previously when Arabi Eats occupied the space. The Kitchen Table Cafe is still waiting on their liquor license, but our waitress, Mel, offered us a glass of complimentary wine to enjoy with our meal, which was a lovely touch. We passed on ordering appetizers, as we immediately knew what we wanted for dinner after looking at the menu.\n\nWe were thrilled to see hangar steak on the menu, as that was our favorite dish on Arabi Eats' menu and we wondered if perhaps the new management was involved with the previous restaurant. However, we were both very disappointed with our entrees. Both of us ordered our steak medium rare, and despite the waitress clarifying that we wanted our steak prepared pink with a red center -- which we both confirmed that yes, that is exactly what we wanted -- we received steaks that were prepared medium and medium well. My steak was barely even warm when I received it as well. Additionally, both steaks had a generous serving of almost completely raw minced garlic on the top. The steak was served with hand-cut french fries and a medley of roasted vegetables, including brussels sprouts, mushrooms and carrots. The roasted vegetables were delicious -- well cooked and perfectly seasoned. I would happily order a side of the roasted vegetables on their own, they were so tasty. The fries were visually very attractive, but were also cold and under-seasoned unfortunately. \n\nFor a $20 entree, I would hope for better. We'll try Kitchen Table Cafe again in a couple of months. Hopefully these were just kinks that are being worked out as they find their groove.",
"Our first visit to the Kitchen Table Cafe will most definitely not be our last. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff is warm. The menu is selective but offers something for everyone, all prepared fresh, from seasonal ingredients. We ordered the special appetizer, fried green tomatoes topped with fried oysters and remoulade. It was spectacular looking and tasting, crisp and delicious, with none of the sogginess that so often disappoints fried green tomato fans. We both ordered the hanger steak, which was generous, juicy, and beautifully cooked. The roasted vegetable side was addictive, and the hand-cut fries the same. But the piece de resistance was the banana bread pudding, drizzled with chocolate sauce. I hear the strawberry shortcake is equally memorable. I plan to investigate. And don't get me started on the lunch menu.\n\nA welcome addition to the Holy Cross area.",
"So glad this place exists in Old Arabi! I've been twice so far -- once for lunch and once for dinner, and both times were excellent. Cozy ambiance with delicious food and friendly service. The kale and black bean soup is delicious. I had the shrimp fra diavolo, which had very rich and hearty flavors. My guest had the hanger steak for dinner, and really enjoyed it. Love having this spot nearby!",
"Excellent new restaurant! I've eaten here twice now and both times were incredible. The daily soups are made from scratch and are always delicious. They also make their own sorbet. I highly recommend the Ponchatoula strawberry sorbet. The wait staff are super friendly and the owners are too. I'm so glad this place opened up. It's an asset to the community.",
"Red beet and kale salad was incredible.\nThe oysters and blue cheese was such a taste explosion! And, and the strawberry shortcake was was fresh-just picked strawberrrys!",
"What can I say but I am well pleased. The Kitchen Table is upscale cooking without the upscale price in of all places Arabi. My friend and I ordered the Oyster Salad and it was excellent. It was served with bacon crumbles and an excellent house made blue cheese dressing. They also have great soups of the day and sandwiches but the salads are a star for me here. This place will be added to my regular lunch rotation.",
"In a city full of culinary peacocks, The Kitchen Table is a hard-working warbler just trying to build a solid nest.\n\nThe interior is cozy, but the building was clearly designed as a diner (in the 1960s, perhaps?), not a sit-down dinner spot. There's a bar with a totally decent wine list. My companion had a glass of white wine and I had a Malbec. Both were just fine.\n\nThe food was hit or miss. I ordered a very fresh tossed salad and loved it. The entree was not so great - tamarind chicken with fingerling potatoes and mixed vegetables. \n\nHonestly, it was the kind of dinner my mom would throw together when she didn't really feel like making dinner. My mom is a fantastic cook - so I know when her meals are half-hearted. (And I don't complain!)\n\nBut when you're out for dinner at a restaurant with a friend, you want something special. And Kitchen Table's entrees weren't bringing the heat.\n\nThat said, I would visit again to have a drink with friends and chat with the sweet and laid-back server and bartender.",
"Sub-par. The grilled chicken that came on the salad was dry and charred. The etouffee roux was on the borderline of burnt and the shrimp were rubbery. The banana bread pudding left a lot to be desired. Could taste the bread but unfortunately not much else. Way too bland! The highlight was the ice cold beer served with a frosted mug.",
"So I had to come back and amend my original review. I went back to kitchen table for a second time and this time was an embarrassing situation. I was expecting my friend to order the oyster salad and forgot that he doesnt like blue cheese so he ordered the pork sandwiched and unfortunately the pork had either spoiled or something was not right because it had a very bitter and foul taste to it. My oyster salad was good but not great for the quantity compared to the price. I had alot less oysters than I had the first time and though the salad is good its not worth the price. Due to both of these issues I will probably not be back.",
"This place was delicious. I ordered the shrimp fra diavolo and it was so tasty! Everyone was really happy w their entrees. Also the honey pecan semi-Freddo dessert was so light, i could eat that dessert all night! There were a lot of seafood and veggie options too. I will definitely be coming back."

"Look it delicious classic Medeterranian cuisine and the price is right!!!\n\nEnjoy it ( if you can \nFind it).",
"Not bad for a place that's been open for 6 weeks. However, it was dead when I came and the guys didn't come up to me right away. So they aren't that great when it comes to customer service. But the food came out fresh and was delicious. I had the chicken shawarma combo. The TVs are always a plus , but when I dined in the Arab channel was on high so I couldn't really enjoy my meal quietly. And their credit card machine wasn't working. So my dine-in experience was longer than it should've been. The plus side is that they deliver , and the food is good and inexpensive. Id like to try the kebobs perhaps when I'm in a fix maybe I'll order in next time. Oh, and they deliver - which is a plus!",
"Delicious classic Mediterranean/Egyptian cuisine \nThe price is very good.",
"Very good and friendly service. The falafel with tahini sauce is delicious.",
"Great Egyptian cafe. The falafel sandwich is one of the best and I have had many. Also, the lamb sandwich is great. If you like your food a little spicy, get a side order of mixed pickles. Excellent food at good price. Expect slower service since everything is cooked to order.",
"We've been on a Middle Eastern food kick lately so spotting this place located near my work I suggested it for a lunch date with my hubby. We walked in and the place was empty about 12:15. Placing our order immediately we were told to seat ourselves anywhere. \n\nI order the chicken shawarma and a side of Baba ganoosh, my husband ordered a falafel sandwich as well as the lamb kebabs. Within a few minutes the waiter brought out drinks as well as the baba ganoush. Then we sat and we waited, waited, waited, waited, waited and waited for the food. \n\nWe watched another patron come in place an order to go, get their food and leave quickly.. another came in and picked up a to go order but yet we still waited. After a while the waiter did come and apologize and told us it does take a little while for the food to be prepared. \n\nAfter waiting 30 minutes for the meal our food finally arrived. Everything was served piping hot and looked delicious, even better it tasted delicious. The chicken shawarma was served in an over-stuffed pita pocket were large chunks of marinated chicken with lettuce, tomato and tahini sauce and side of crispy French fries. The wait was mostly worth it but I think when we return it will be for a to go order. Three stars for the waiting while others were served before us. The food was great!",
"What a gem of a restaurant. Granted you have to wait for the food ( don't go if you are in a hurry) the owner takes his time and cooks with pride, everything is handmade and fresh. Well worth the wait everything, hot and perfect. The food and coffee was out of this world. They give you so much food and nothing disappointing. I am going back to try breakfast. So happy I found this place, plus it is very close to home!",
"I stopped here for lunch with the little girl I nanny and the owner was so kind! He gave us a free hot chocolate and water. The food was delicious and the portions were huge! I really enjoyed the bean sandwich, it tasted almost better than the one I had in Egypt. The falafel sandwich was very good as well. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great, friendly service and delicious Egyptian food!",
"Ok, I have to agree with other reviewers here about the wait time. It took a minute , but I gotta say , I ain't mad because the falafel stuffed pita I was served was that good. Oh my gosh , delicious, and he included a big serving of those spicy pickled veggies?! You know the way to a Greek girls heart:-D The falafel was moist, and the pita wrap was big. I'm impressed. There's only one man in there cooking everything made to order that's why it takes long. He would completely be in the weeds if a big party came In, OOh lawd, but he was sooo nice, and the food was highly enjoyed, AND I'll be back. Ok, so if you're in a rush or on a short lunch break, I can see how this place would be a problem for you. I would DEFINITELY call ahead and put the order in .",
"Love this place. Support your local stores. Come in for a great meal at a great price."

"Wouldnt exactly come here for sushi only. Not a lot of fish but tons of rice. No sushi. Mainly rolls. All food is pretty sub par. Ok for lunch but wouldnt come here again",
"Well I was really hoping that this place would have been much better than it turned out to be.\n\nAtmosphere: very nice Japanese decor, clean and neat all around. This is the greatest asset they have. It's much like other Hibachi chains but it's very clean and well kept.\n\nService: Well as many of you know, at and all you can eat establishment you tend to have limited need for a server. For the most part they just take your drink order and clear your dirty dishes. This is because it's mostly self serve outside of drinks (because you pay for the drinks separately, they are not included into the pay one price all you can eat few). With this said the customer service was good, the sever did her job, she was delayed once by an annoying customer that kept talking to her like she didn't know English. He kept yabbering on like \"you go school?\" \"you like America, America very good\". Then again what can you expect from a guy wearing smiley face pajama pants in a dining establishment. Maybe I'm being too hard on him, it's possible he was just hit in the head too hard as a small child. Anyway she handled him well and the greeter and cashier were very nice as well. \n\nBy now you may be wondering why the 2 star rating. Well as much as the employees were very nice and the atmosphere was very good, the food left so much to be desired I couldn't live with myself if I gave this place more than 2 stars. After all, when you go to an all you can eat grill, they highest weighted area should be the food. \n\nThe selection was subpar compared to many similar places I've been, but they did have most of the standards. The real trouble is in the fact the food was so poorly prepared and not at all fresh.\n\nMost of the food was dried out and obviously had been sitting there most of the day. I understand that it was probably not busy that day, but I shouldn't have to suffer for their lack of business on a given day. Maybe I'd feel differently if they put a 50% off sign up at the door with a note that said \"stale dried out food after 7pm\".\n\nIn addition to be several hours old and dried out, there were other issues with the food that would deter me from returning. One, the fried rice was very greasy, to the point that I couldn't get past eating more than two spoonfuls, and I'm a big fan of fried rice. The clams were mostly all shells. When I put 10 baby clams on my plate, I was surprised to only find meat in 4 of them. Then I switched to the full sized clams and I found meat in 3 out of 5, better odds on the large ones but I also skipped over several obviously empty shells I saw in the serving pan. So sad, such a waste. All in all I out of about 10 things I tried the only things that were good was the seafood delight and Cajun seafood. The Cajun seafood was dry but still tasty. \n\nPricing: $12.50 a person plus $1.50 for a generously sized soda. With a yelp check in you get 15% off your entires table bill so that makes it more cost effective. The price is very good but, you get what you pay for.\n\nAll in all I don't see myself going back unless It was the only thing available (they are open on holidays including Christmas and New Years). \n\nIll be watching other yelpers reviews hoping it gets better because it would be great to have a good all you can eat hibachi grill nearby.",
"After reading the long, detailed review below, I took a chance to see how this Supreme Buffet is like. Very true that they have a large selection of food, they have oven baked pizza, grill white fish, beef kebab, craw-fish, sirloin steak, grill chicken, garlic/gingered blue crab, clam, raw oysters and much much more. They have also added many more fresh all-you-can eat sashimi on their dinner buffet for just 12 dollars person. It is perfect for someone who likes both sushi and sashimi while enjoying other great international dishes. \nMy favorite was their raw oyster(only in dinner buffet). It was SO FRESH and didn't have that deadfish smell in them. mmm...yummy. \nMy waitress at my table was always nice, they would come to your table and clean your plates as soon as you were done so your table doesn't seems like a mess. \n\nAll I can say is this place is excellent; great price and great food. I can't find any buffet restaurant in Wilmington that could beat this one. However, there is always room for improvement.",
"It's great to have this Asian-centric buffet option in the area.\n\nMy parents decided to take me here after they'd been a couple of times. Set in the Pathmark plaza, it was kind of funny going to this new outfit, especially after having grown up with the stores that constantly rotate through the plaza. Anyway, the service is fine and attentive. They do speak Mandarin (and Canto as well I think), so that helps if you bring older folks who don't speak much English. The decor is decidedly Asian but it's nothing too glamorous, which is fine, since this is a casual buffet.\n\nThe buffet area is in the center of the restaurant and is actually quite large with lots of selections, from fresh sushi and sashimi to hot Chinese-style food to American foods to desserts. There's also a noodle line where they'll cook up some quick stir-fry or noodle soup with whatever ingredients you pick out. Lots of people like to go for that.\n\nThe quality is not bad for a buffet that must constantly rotate through items and has to produce a large volume of them. The hot vegetable options could be kicked up a bit, but most people go to a buffet for the seafood and meats. There are lots of sushi rolls and nigiri to choose from, such as your California and Rainbow rolls to salmon and squid nigiri. There are also select sashimi cuts that are not bad as well. It was surprising to see that they also had some homestyle Chinese items on the side, such as beef pot roast, soy-sauce marinated egg, and some dessert soups. The other hot Asian foods were pretty good, and they seemed popular. I didn't try the American-style foods. There is a large selection of cut fruit to choose from, and they were all sweet when we were there. Lots of pastries available, such as creme puffs or tarts, and of course, there's the obligatory ice cream. \n\nOverall, I think it's a solid place to come to stuff your face at under $15 per person. With the Yelp check-in, you get a special first-time discount of 10% from the check.",
"The word \"buffet\" usually turns food aficionados away, and with good reason. They usually have subpar food quality, with food that is dying in stream trays, and a staff that does nothing more than herd the cattle in and out.\n\nThat's not completely the case here. The selection of food is impressive, with Chinese and Japanese stations, a dedicated Hibachi chef grilling up to-order requests, and dedicated sushi chefs making rolls, slicing nigri and sushi constantly, so there's always a great selection.\n\nThere's some common buffet pitfalls here, like the bland desserts, and some odd food options that don't work, but as far as Asian buffets, you really can't go wrong.",
"Chinese buffets are all around like a pimple on a teenagers face and they keep popping up.\n \nThis one was ok. Food was somewhat warm, even though you see the steam coming up from it. The effect of the steam table I guess. They do have a vast selection of sushi. Its your standard buffet items and some that i've never seen before. They had a \"noodle bar\" where they boil your noodle in front of you and put it into broth. They even have chicken soup with ginseng. I did sample that and suprisingly it was good. \n\nService wasnt good. Had to wait for refills and plates being taking away from the table. I understand the waiting part for refills but not 5 mins after your cup is taken.\nThe ice cream was not good, it was too soft and the location of the ice cream had a smell to it. Not good eats.\n\nHappy eatings!!",
"We're normally not overly impressed with Chinese buffets, but this one was very good. Note that none of us touched the Western dishes so this review is entirely based on the authentic Asian selections (and not the quasi-Asian items such as General Tsao's chicken, etc.) The Udon noodle soup from the noodle bar was soup-endous and quite yummy (my kid's words). The black bean sauce clams were excellent, as good as I've had in various Chinatowns, as well as the stir fried spinach and green beans. The ma po tofu was quite good as well and they had a very good homemade chicken broth made with real pieces of chicken. \n\nOverall, the authentic Chinese dishes were well, very authentic, although the majority of the buffet appeared to be the usual Chinese buffet fare of Western and quasi-Eastern foods. The sushi selections were fairly typical of sushi buffets and nothing to get too excited about. The wasabi was mixed fairly weak, and there were more cooked items than sashimi. The seaweed salad was pretty good, although if one was to be picky there was perhaps a bit too much bean thread (the thin translucent green mung bean noodles) filler; more seaweed would have been nice.",
"Went in with fairly low expectations, but after reading they had some authentic Chinese dishes decided to give it a try.....and the traditional dishes were very good! I especially liked the cold beef, it was excellent! The \"typical\" Chinese dishes were fair-good, the Honey Chicken and some of the beef/pork dishes were above average, wouldn't recommend the General Tso or salt/pepper chicken....lo mein was ok, but it and the fried rice tasted a little stale. Sushi was good, nothing phenomenal, but solid, and a HUGE variety! They had iceberg lettuce and some dressings for their salad selection, not sure why they bother if there's no other items to go on the salad, like cucumbers or cherry tomatoes at least. They had a few \"American\" dishes like pizza and mac n cheese, didn't sample. Deserts were pretty bad, which usually seems to be the case at these types of buffets, stick with the ice cream and you'll be ok. Very nice interior, well done for a strip shopping center. Service was very good, empty dishes were whisked away quickly and drinks refilled often, the check was brought promptly and we never felt rushed.\nProbably the best 7.99 I've spent on lunch at one of these places in Delaware......and I've tried most of them!",
"Much better atmosphere for a buffet than any others of its kind that I've ever visited. Good decor for once. Food: generally worth the price if you eat your money's worth. We're here mainly for the endless sushi. There's an udon bar but I didn't use it since there wasn't always a guy there to cook the noodles.",
"Even though the name of this restaurant is \"Sushi Buffet\", giving us a feeling of Japanese style, it is actually a Chinese buffet with sushi. Usually I do not eat much sushi outside except I feel it is very fresh. The most value of sushi is freshness, so it is very bad to have it in buffet even put on the ice.\n\nThe Chinese food here was good, but seafood was also not very fresh. The reason why I had dinner here was that my friends invited me to come here."

"At first, I was a little hesitant to try this place out because their menu is so massive. Usually, the bigger the menu, the lower the quality of each menu item. But I decided to go ahead and give them a try, and I gotta say I instantly became a fan. For my inaugural pizza, I chose a small \"Shrimp Alfredo\" pizza, and it was DIVINE! Soft, doughy crust topped with Alfredo sauce, thin slices of zucchini, red onion, shrimp, mozzarella and provolone... oh my!\n\nThe rest of the family had a small plain pizza and appetizer sampler, which we noted were of really good quality. We also ordered the Reuben Stromboli, but that didn't turn out so well as one can imagine. But all in all, we had a good experience. I will definitely order from this pizzeria again.",
"I order from here almost every week--the delivery driver now recognizes me (I don't know if that's a bad or good thing!!!)\n\nLike Stephano L said, the menu is ENORMOUS (largest I have ever seen), which in most cases negatively impacts the quality of the food, however I have yet to be disappointed with anything I have ordered here. Everything is always fresh and never tastes like it was made ahead of time and let to sit out.\n\nWhat to definitely try:\n*Mega Curly Fries - these are freaking awesome- whiz, mozz, bacon! My top pic for mega fries in the area and I have had just about all of them!\n\nCheesesteak stromboli is banging too!\n\nThey have a ton of daily deals and I think if you eat in you can get 2 slices and a can of soda for $2!",
"I have discovered a near replica of one of my favorite Wildwood, NJ pizzas here..\n\nWhat is it you ask?\nBoardwalk Pizza!!!\nFries, whiz and mozzarella cheese on a pizza = HEAVEN! \nMake sure to order it without tomato sauce.\n\nIt's only $11.99 on Saturdays for a huge 20\"!!!",
"The other reviews don't sound like the same restaurant I just had dinner from. We ordered both buffalo wings and wing dings and they were OK, sauce wasn't great. The anti pasta Stromboli, again, was OK. The soups were awful. We ordered seafood bisque which was nothing more than a weakly flavored attempt at a bisque with absolutely NOTHING in it and the potato soup which was equally tasteless and thin (at least there we re potatoes in the potato soup). The pasta dish was advertised as grilled chicken, asparagus, cherry tomatoes and red onions dressed with garlic and oil. Once again a tasteless dish and no cherry tomatoes. Not even Roma tomatoes but winter ones UGH! Won't be ordering from Drougies again. The pizza may be OK but there are soooo many other great pizza places. Try them instead!!!",
"I'd normally switch around from pizza shop to pizza shop until I found this little Gem that's almost at the corner of Cottman & Franford. If a place can put out that much stuff on one menu (actually it reads like a little book) it's gotta be good. And they don't hire fat & ugly girls either. I think it's a require ment that if if you're gonna work there, you gotta be smokin' hot. Druggies is just like the women that he employs~smokin' hot !!!\n So folks, If you wanna pretty-descent hot pizza, stronboli, really good wings, & a lot of other high-in-chlosterol (but it's sooo-sooo good) food. Go to Druggie's.It's a mark above all the other 5,955 pizza shops on Frankford & Cottman Avenue area pizza joints, this place won't let you down. You won't regret it folks ! The only thing that they could do a little better in is to hire their delivery drivers' from the U.S.A. & learn how to speak the English language, but just as long as I get my Druggie's !!!\n Druggie's out beats Pizza City & all them other guys that are nearby. I'm surprised that their still in buisness. Hey Drougie's~ You got myself as a customer for life !!! God Bless You All & God Bless The Good Ol' U.S. of A.",
"Food's pretty good but the draw is the variety of food you could get. It can be hard to eat healthy when ordering from a pizza parlor especially if you're not a salad eater but Drougie's has quite a few options including some really good panini. Their chickensteak sandwiches use to be good but in the last month its been real fatty. My mom loves their steakcut french fries. They also serve a giant pizza that you have to measure your front door to see if it will fit but I've found despite tasting good, most people only eat a slice of it.",
"This is the second time we ordered from drougies, first time hey everyone has a bad day . Hell NO the second time the pizza was just a grease pit and the chicken cheesesteaks where dry, chewy and burt just awwwwwwwwwful food both times and got the nerve to be expensive with their food sorry there are better places like superior on rhawn cheaper and better food.",
"Wow! Drougies is absolutely unbelievable. The food is excellent. The menu is huge which is great cause anybody can find something they like even vegetarians. They also have very healty items such as salads and wraps which are delicious. Delivery was incredibly fast and so was pickup. Serice was great. Will def.. be my new favorite place.",
"quite a unique philly tasty treat. This place was recommended to me by a local. he said it was the only pizza he would eat.\n\nI didn't find the pizza special, but the atmosphere was philly cool. Small, lively, always moving, pizza & a drink for $4 if you pay by credit card...cheaper if by cash.\n\ndelightful",
"ordered from this place 2 times, This is the worst pizza in Mayfair,m if not the entire city, 2nd time was a big order pizza and soups and sandwiches, I dont know where to begin, it was all bad soup was like something u get from a vending machine, I think the reviews for this place must be from friends and family."

"UHHHHHMAZING. This pizza joint is a must visit! Between the Broad Ripple and the Mass Ave location, there's no better pizza in Indy! It's a blessing that they're open till 3AM on the weekends. Definitely will return, especially those late nights! (;",
"Goodfellas continues to be a staple in my life I'm so happy that one opened near where I live in Broad Ripple. Slices are big breadsticks are bigger their love for pizza is the biggest. Anytime I see a Goodfellas I'll be going back this one is no exception. Keep it up guys you guys are doing great.",
"I was starving like I was gonna die if I didn't eat type starving and there was goodfellas like a shinning beacon for my belly's hunger. I finally got a slice and tried a breadstick longer than my foot and the ZA slices are huge too. I definitely got full off that slice. They're breadsticks flavor remind me of Little Caesars way back in the day before they came back out. I love the parm seasoning on top. I would want a bit more butteriness to go with that but still Good pizza, not NY pizza artisan but I love all pizza and it hit the spot.",
"Pizza is definitely the best in Indy, closest to NY style. Crust is crispy, but chewy. Slices are perfect size. Highly recommend.",
"Great pizza by slice. The pizza and breadsticks are huge. I like the set up and location. Great addition to the strip.",
"The slogan is aggressive and not very clever. If \"size does matter\" then you'd think the pizza and the box would be the same size.\n\nPizza is great, but it should always be prepared \"well done\", it's so much better this way.",
"I was very excited to have a TRUE New York style pizza place in Indianapolis. I've been craving New York style pizza for a while. Loved how they had music outside the venue. Only thing I wish they had bar stools so people can sit & eat.",
"Love me a big slice of pizza! Great addition to the middle of b rip. Walk up for a slice or order for take out. Not a place to sit down for a meal but perfect for a standing slice in between meal hours or for lunch outside of the office. \n\nStaff was friendly as hell and the atmosphere clean. The breadstick is bigger than your friggin arm, ranch to die for. \n\nOverall LOVE this joint!",
"My favorite pizza in all of Broad Ripple! Flavorful, fast, and affordable! And you can't beat the lunch special, which includes a slice of pizza, a breadstick (the size of your arm), a dipping sauce, and a drink! As for the dipping sauce, always get the ranch...always! \n\nCan't wait to come back for my next slice!",
"Amazing staff and delicious pizza! I just came back from Italy and this pizza definitely compares to that of Italy. Super fun vibe as well"

"Such a cute and cozy pub with great decor and friendly staff. Their drink menu offered a good variety of creative cocktails, while their food menu offers authentic dishes featuring corned beef, cottage (Shepard's) pie, and cabbage.\n\nI highly recommend getting the Irish Soda Bread while you wait for your meal (I was pleasantly surprised by its sweetness). I tried the Bubble and Squeak to start and really enjoyed the creamy broth loaded with cabbage and ground beef. I also had the Bangers and Mash. While I thought the bangers were yummy, I was disappointed by the mash, which seemed almost watery and needed some salt. As for their Cottage Pie, I was expecting a more dense dish, like a customary Shepherd's Pie. There's was more of a stew almost, however, maybe that's how it is traditionally made.\n\nI'm excited that the owners chose to open up shop in Alton and add to the city's offerings. I hope that they find success and prosperity :)",
"Stopped into establishment with no expectations but just a different type of venue. Pleasantly surprised at the comfy cozy home feel. Staff was very outgoing and friendly. We didn't eat a full meal but sampled some of the Side items. Very flavorful and the cook sent an extra side order of gravy as I asked for. We will definitely go back for full meals. \nO",
"We loved this place! Friendly staff, friendly fellow drinkers. There was a fantastic live band doing Irish songs (with a few hilarious covers thrown in the mix). There were song lists with lyrics on the tables. Great beers on tap (a few local brews too). I loved the giant clock by the door. The atmosphere was home-y and felt very authentic. I am used to run-of-the-mill \"Irish\" bars that really have nothing Irish other than Guinness on tap. So thank you for making this place so much more special. I will return and excited to try the food next time.",
"Atmosphere was nice. Service was pretty good. I was very disappointed in the amount of food we got for the price. Bill was $40 with tip for three people and this was without alcohol.",
"Great atmosphere. Their stew and bangers and mash makes for some excellent comfort food. I'll definitely be back!",
"I'm a big fan of Irish Pubs and I was very excited that one opened up in my town of Alton. Everything here is on a par with Tigin or John McGurks on the other side of the river. I greatly enjoyed the bangers and mash, great blend of sweet and savory and not too oniony like that dish can often be. My wife also enjoyed her beef stew and the whiskey and chocolate bread pudding was delicious. \nTheir house red ale was nice but I'll probably go back to my standard Guiness on a repeat visit.\nAll in all I think Morissons is an excellent addition to Altons downtown food and bar scene. I will absolutely return!",
"Great atmosphere, friendly staff!\nWe enjoyed all of our dishes: salmon platter for an appetizer, Lamb burger, bangers and mashed and the Irish wrap. We will definitely be back.",
"Really great and authentic. We've been to Ireland a couple of times and this place is a very close second. The things I felt were really on point - snug and cozy warm friendly atmosphere, piping hot quickly served delicious real (obviously some Irish imported ingredients) Irish comfort food, live music. Not anything bad I can say. The only non-authentic (besides no Irish accents) was the lack of numerous types of potatoes on one plate -- but no one wants that in the US anyway. Great job, Morrison's!",
"Family run pub. Traditional fare and a wide list of Irish Whiskey. Boxty and Lamb Burger are really tasty.",
"I love the atmosphere here! Its very intimate and reminds me of the pubs I hit while in Kilkenny. Both times I've stopped in, there's been music. I'm a sucker for live music and its mostly Irish folk, so if that's your thing...Stop by for sure! Now....This was my first time with their food. I got the Irish slinger and I wasn't really impressed. It's a giant boxty (potato pancake), with bacon, egg, beans, cheddar, and some kind of tomato based sauce. The sauce just didn't fit. I'd suggest asking for gravy instead. Their soda bread is to die for though.\n\nNutshell: For live music and a fun night out, it's great. For a culinary masterpiece, It wouldn't be my first stop."

"This little place has long hours and delivery. We ate in and our food was ready in about 10 minutes. They have some really interesting pizza selections, plus pastas, steaks, wings, salads, and a lot more. My thin crust Greek pizza was awesome!\n\nIt is pretty small on the inside, one booth and 3 stools make up the seating.",
"Me and my girlfriend went out to eat at Steak Plus Pizza. The food was great. we ordered two pasta dishes and it was awesome.They are very friendly people.Since then me and my girlfriend order food from them at least once a week to our house.I personally never had a problem and delivery is fast.Thank you Steak Plus Pizza.\nWe love you guys ya have the best Pizza,Pasta,Steak and Salads.Tonight we are going to try your Wings:).......",
"We have two delivery restaurants that we usually order from once a week and this is one of them.\n\nThey have an awesome selection for a little delivery place. Everything from pizza, wings, sandwiches, pasta, to several salads, a hefty appetizer section, and desserts.\n\nRecently we have been ordering the Stromboli (just cheese and pepperoni) and couldn't begin to tell you how yummy it is! They also always ensure that we are given marina for dipping. (We all know how awful it is to be jipped of your dipping sauces!) \n\nWe tried their hot wings recently and were very impressed with those as well. Consider them on par or better than Wing Streets' (Pizza Hut).\n\nAnd the best part? They have coupons printed on their menus that never expire and that they do not require upon receipt of your order. Place an order of at least $20 and receive a free piece of cheesecake! I always ensure my order is enough :) Great little incentive!\n\nHighly recommend!",
"zero stars would have been preferred. ordered at 2 o'clock, received food at 3:05 (destination is approx 6 mins from establishment). My order consisted of a bubba-esk burger with faux grill marks on it, cold fries and a can of coke. Cheese cake with \"strawberry\" syrup was also included. Instead of calling me and telling me they \"ran out of\" cheese cake..they put a small piece of chocolate cake with \"strawberry\" syrup on the side. Am i supposed to be fooled with this Jedi mind trick? Called immediately to see how we could rectify this situation, was told that I dont EVER have to order from them again. We didnt even exchange words...and i got this reaction!? Whoa! way to go!! Keep losing business buddy! COMEDY!!! but seriously dont mess with my food!",
"I had a terrible experience with the Steak Plus Pizza located in Antioch, TN. The steaks were ordered as medium and medium well. Someone in our group has a shellfish allergy and was informed the first time that they would use the opposite side of the grill as not to have reaction. Once we received them they were tough and incorrectly cooked. They said they would only replace the steak not the baked potato or salads. So I will have to eat the screwed up steak to have my meal or eat the potato(which will be cold by the time the correct steak arrives) and salad then wait 45 minutes to get my corrected steak. I contacted the store and was treated very rudely. I was told the person I was speaking to the first time was the manager then I was told they were the owner. I was given a million excuses as to why it was wrong. When i gave them the corrected order and reminded them of the allergy they said they could not do anything about it. Why tell us you can correctly cook it to avoid allergy then next time say differently?\nI was treated poorly and called a liar since my order was put in a different way. It's bad business.\nOnce the delivery came I asked the man if the owner or manager was whom I had talked to earlier. The driver told me no. So they have an employee that lies and hurts their business. \nI will not go back.",
"My husband likes the calzones from this place, which are pretty decent. We ordered one tonight. When it got here it was a pizza instead of a calzone. We noticed before the pizza guy left so my husband went out to talk to him. He said he didn't here calzone when we placed the order. So we were stuck eating the pizza with the cardboard crust that has a terrible aftertaste. Don't waste your time here. They obviously don't care about customer service.",
"This place FAR surpassed my expectations based on the other reviews I read. I can't speak for the delivery speed as I haven't ordered delivery from this place (yet) but my girlfriend and I stopped by yesterday and literally had one of the best Stromboli's I've ever had, the portion for a single order of this is easily enough to feed two people. Great high quality ingredients and food obviously well made by hand with care, the employees were patient (I'm a slow and indecisive orderer) and very nice. Seriously give this place a shot, awesome hours, awesome food, if this is near you, you're missing out on a great place. I'll post a picture of the Stromboli(s) and you can check them out.",
"Ok so just last night we ordered a calzone and a gyro. Bill was 20.49... Inspecial notes, I said in calzone I want chicken ,cheese,And light sauce . In the gyro I told them I wanted chicken instead of the Beef ONLY because the definition of a gyro Is the lamb/beef and extras.So of course I had to mention in the place of! Well our food arrives we pay +tip and driver leaves. We open our boxes. The gyro is chicken and had no flavor just A Little chicken with some white cheese,A LITTLe lettuce and tomato. Fries were horrible hard and dry! The cal zone was full of pepperoni, beef and he said they added chicken And did Not pay attention to the instructions! Sauce was normal also.. HUbby and I called and instead of them saying \"our apologies\",they Blamed us saying we shouldve said Only(I've had the Only issues somewhere else before so beware if you say ONLY thats all you will get they dont pay attention to the other details.) We told them the notes were chicken,cheese and light sauce which basically says only if I gave you all the ingredients I WANT! He tells us Next time call them and order! WHat?? DIdnt you recieve my order and get paid for it? Ok then I will order as I please ONLINE! However I will NOT order from them Again! NO apology,No replacement, No customer service!!!! I gave them a try based on other good reviews and ignored the bad. Like the one that had the chocolate cake pic. Instead of her cheesecake and had the nerve to pour strawberry syrup on top like shes going imagine cheesecake while eating it lol REALLY?! they were open late and got my money but NEVER Again! We dont eat red meat CLEARLY. We told the owner we dont eat pork and he swore their pepperoni was beef and they dont use pork products! Well how erroneous #1 , #2 We dont eat RED meat beef or pork! Pease dont eat here! unless you want your order screwed up and no restitution ! pros= open late(rather grab a pizza) and a swallow when your starved late at night and dont care about taste or what you get...",
"I ordered steak tips, fries, and a salad through GrubHub for delivery. Quick and easy! The order arrived about ten minutes earlier than they stated, which was fantastic. The food was AMAZING!!!!! The tips were cooked perfectly, the fries were still nice and crispy, (which surprised me for delivery), and the salad was the freshest crispy salad I have ever had delivered! Kudos to Steak Plus Pizza, you guys rock!! You have found yourself a regular customer. Thanks for the awesome food and customer service!! :)",
"There is so much variety on their menu. I love the people here they are very friendly and fast, and the food is great, I love their veal pasta. I would very much recommend this place, it's much better than pizza hut and dominoes."

"Great food, great location, will be back again! We made a reservation for Saturday night and got seated right away. Once seated, the service was slow but was to be expected since it was their opening weekend. Seems like there are a few kinks to be worked out. We were asked our drink order twice, food order twice, our food came out at different times and we waited on a fork for a while until we ended up taking one from an empty table. The food and drink menus looked good though...very good selection of both. I recommend the arancini appetizer! Soo good!! I ordered the braised short rib ravioli. It was a little al dente but not enough to keep me from eating every single bite! Delicious! The tortellini was great too! We used to eat at this location when it was Cooper House but their service was terrible every single time we went! We kept coming back because of the location especially in the summer...for the outdoor seating and the beer garden. I hope this place works out the kinks because it's in a great spot and I'd hate to see it go the same direction as Cooper House because of the service.",
"I assume a soft opening, banner covering the old sign of the Cooper House. Staff was friendly but obviously new to the POS system. Full bar but no cocktail menu. Food was good. Ambiance leaves something to be desired, odd setup and light colors and bright lights make you feel like your eating in a conference room. I'd check back in a couple months.",
"Not sure when they opened but tried them this weekend and it seems like they might still be working out some issues. Looks a little different than when it was the Cooper House (added a couple TVs, there are now a few seats at the bar, etc.) but otherwise looks pretty clean and bright.\n\nBeer and wine menus were good, but the drinks menu that is on the website isn't available in the restaurant? Also, some of the basic drink options from that menu aren't available to order, but other things are, so have a backup in mind if you're looking to order an alcoholic drink that isn't beer/wine.\n\nFood was OK, service was friendly but a little confused (delays between when everyone got their dinner for instance). Manager was walking the room asking people how things are and looking for feedback, so I think they're on the right track. Will give it a try again in a month or so and see if they're able to get things ironed out.",
"I want to like this place because i live two steps away but the service tonight was horrible. Waited 20 minutes for a beer in an absolutely empty bar. Wont be back.",
"Ate here recently. While i found the food to be very good, I wonder why they weren't fully prepared for opening. It's obvious the place was somewhat renovated, but was not accessorized yet. Not even a salt and paper shaker on the table ! Lighting was very bright but the background music was nice. The menu included pizza, sandwiches, pasta \n dishes,salads and various meat and fish dishes. Would have liked a small salad with my dinner but it appeared that it would have to be ordered separately. A little bread while we were waiting for our dinner would have been nice but none was offered or did I see it on the menu. The wine list for wine by the glass was limited but adequate. I hope that this restaurant will do well here as the location is excellent. I will return in the spring or early summer and hopefully I will like what I see.Maybe the next time I will try lunch on the outside patio.",
"This is heads and shoulders above Cooper House, which we tried really hard to love. We made a reservation on Open Table and were accommodated quickly when we arrived. For an Italian restaurant, the wine list could be more diverse, but it hits what you'll need. \n\nThe menu is built in large part for sharing. We weren't hungry enough to order appetizers, but they looked delicious going past us to other tables. We opted for the meatball salad and the goat cheese salad, both were delicious and good portion sizes for one. Entrees certainly looked larger and easy to share between two or three people. There's also a large selection of specialty pizzas.\n\nIt's a scratch kitchen, so we were told ahead of time everything is made from scratch and comes out as it's ready. Expect to receive appetizers and entrees at staggered intervals, but it didn't look like anyone was waiting too long in between deliveries on a busy night. They did give fair warning. \n\nThe service was great, the atmosphere is brighter. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so we can enjoy the outdoor space. It seems like they are really taking customer feedback and working it into a positive experience.",
"This is a pretty nice place to have a meal considering that they let you share food up front and that it is right next to Cooper River. The view makes it worth coming here. \n\nThe Paninis are so large that they allow you to share one Panini and perhaps it's nice to have a glass of wine, cocktail or/and beer in lieu of guilt in ordering more food that you really don't want. \n\nAll in all a great lunch spot for casual food so that you go along your day if it's walking the rest of Cooper or just strolling in.",
"Happy Saturday on Cooper River! Great staff. Friendly. Drinks are delish. The view! Did I mention the view!",
"Great location for a restaurant. The atmosphere is calming and it is very clean. You get great views of Cooper River. The Gnocchi is also great!",
"This is my first time here and I am so happy that we stopped. The LaScalas brand never disappoints us. The paninis are large and delicious and the view of Cooper River is amazing. We will be back!"

"Holy cow! Don't judge a book by its cover- this strip-mall restaurant next to a trashy convenience store proves that to be true! The interior is nothing fancy, but it's clean with plentiful seating so gets the job done.\n\nThe food lives up to the restaurants name...delicious! I ordered the curry shrimp with rice and beans/collards for my sides. Was cooked up fresh and truly hit the spot. The shrimp were plentiful, perfectly seasoned, fresh, and huge! The collards were slow cooked and very well flavored, and the rice and beans were great.\n\nI'll be back!",
"This place has some really good food. I've eaten at many Jamaican restaurants throughout the entire east coast, and although they are not the best I've had, they are at top of the list. \n\nIt's a little restaurant located in a strip mall in the middle of nowhere New Jersey. The restaurant is very clean and has a diverse menu of Jamaican and American soul food. \n\nI ordered oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. The food has some really good bold flavors. For some reason I kept tasting ketchup in the oxtail. I guess that's the secret ingredient. If it's your first time here, as it was mine, they hook you up with a complimentary corn bread which I inhaled within seconds. \n\nAll in all, good food, good service, good prices. If I ever find myself in the middle of nowhere New Jersey, I will definitely return to this spot.\n\nP.S. The corn bread is off the chain!! So so good and moist.",
"Curry Shrimp Platter was excellent! Big juicy shrimp cooked just right. I had collard greens and black beans and rice, both were delicious! I got my dessert to go, Banana pudding and a Bean Pie which I ate over several days. Both were outstanding!",
"Delicious Dishes was recommended by a friend for a quick lunch. Wow...was I impressed. Being of Caribbean decent it is very hard to find a restaurant that favors the taste of home cooked yard food especially in South Jersey. Not only was the food good, with great flavor, welcoming hospitality (everyone courteous and smiling) but the cleanliness of the environment was comforting. \n\nWill definitely return and recommend to others! Nice Job...",
"Exceptional food at reasonable price. I came with my cousin to try something different around the area, I am extremely impress by the quality and flavor. We had the oxtail, chicken curry, and BBQ wings. The oxtail and chicken curry entree were pre-made but the food was still hot. The curry had just the right amount of spice and the chicken was tender. The portions were large for each dish. The oxtail dish was my favorite.The meat was cooked to perfection and the brown sauce had just the right amount of sweetness. I will definitely be coming back. The only issue I had with the restaurant is the location. This could be a hit if they opened along Route 130, especially near Target or Lowes.",
"Absolutely Delicious. Great proportion, had curry chicken, husband had jerk chicken (grilled and spicy) both had yams with mac & cheese. Will go back. Do yourself a favor and try this place.",
"This place is that great hole in the wall that you have to try. There food tasted delicious and was well priced. If you like food with a good kick to it I suggest the jerk chicken.",
"Omg!!!! I came here all the way from Williamstown nj which is almost an hr a away and I'm soooo glad I did the aroma when you walk in is so mouthwatering. I had curry chicken with rice it was seasoned to perfection and the chicken was moist. I also ordered the oxtail with yams and cabbage all delicious! The oxtail had a little sweetness to it but not overbearing and banana pudding was good but a little to much cinnamon but good very nice staff friendly found my new fav Jamaican restaurant",
"I was there tonight with my friends that I haven't seen in a long time. They couldn't stop stop talking about the food they had. One guy said the ribs fell off the bones and the fried chicken Mac and cheese candied yams I had was banging. Two thumbs up. Thank you Delicious Dishes for the excellent service.",
"That's right! 5.9 Stars! Edgewater Park, NJ could become a destination vacation spot just because of Delicious Dishes! The name is right!\nI ordered one meal to eat here...and 2 MORE to carry out.\nTHIS IS A MUST TRY RESTAURANT!!!"

"I used to live in Louisiana for years and I love Popeye's but this location needs to replace management.\nI have been in this location twice and both times they are out of ingredients. I prefer to drive to the Tampa location even though it takes me 30 minutes drive.",
"Have not been to Popeye's in many years, but always loved absolutely everything in there. Was driving by tonight and on a whim, we decided to eat there. BIG mistake. Awful. Everything was awful. The word awful is not descriptive enough, but I can't think of a word nasty enough to describe such miasma. Don't even know where to begin, so lets start with the FAKE French fries. Their fries are now some sort of processed something, battered as always, but the consistency of cardboard and totally tasteless. They are actually hollow, if you bite one in half and take a look. In short ~ they are not French fries. Had the \"Beer Can Chicken.\" Just as tasteless as the \"fries\" and the consistency of a rubber glove. I've never had tough chicken at Popeye's before. Their tender chicken used to be one of the reasons to go there and they obviously don't cook in a pressure cooker any longer. The biscuits??? Nothing can save them. I've always bought extra ones in the past, but f one of these things fell of the table and hit your foot, you would be in the emergency room having a cast put on. This one was so tasteless, I spit out the one bite I took and threw it in the trash with the \"fries\" and the nasty crust off the petrified chicken. Tried a strawberry soda and it tasted like battery acid. Switched to Pepsi and it was bitter. I got a bit of relief by switching to root beer. All the food was SO bad that three hours later, I am still PISSED at myself for going there. I keep telling myself \"how could I have known it would have gone so far south in the few years since I've eaten there.\" Well, now I know. I suppose, fortunately for them, I will not be a loss when I NEVER return. Fortunately for me, I will never throw my money in their trash can again. I now dub Popeye's, The King of Fast Food Sludge.",
"I wish I could give zero stars! But since that's not an option, they get the one star they don't deserve! My husband ordered a 9 piece mixed chicken with jalapeno peppers and a large red beans and rice. Everything was okay, BUT, they gave us 8 pieces of chicken. 8! How do they not know how to count! We ordered a 9 piece, so some employee there couldn't count to 9! Then we tried to call and complain about our missing piece and they didn't even answer the phone! Never again going back to this Popeye's! They have lost me as a customer.",
"I went to this Popeyes location a few days ago for the first time and I was impressed. The staff was very nice and helpful. I had no idea what to order and they were patient with me and answered questions I had. No one had an attitude or got short with me. \nI ordered the 3 piece chicken tender combo with mashed potatoes, sweet tea and a biscuit. My husband ordered the three piece combo with coleslaw, sweet tea and a biscuit. Both of us really enjoyed our meals. They were hot and tasted fresh ( it didn't taste like the food had been sitting out very long.) The biscuits had the perfect amount of butter and salt. I put a little honey drizzle over mine and devoured it. Delicious!! \nWe enjoyed our meals so much we went back the next day for lunch. It wasn't until after that trip that I read the bad reviews for this location on Yelp. I was honestly surprised. Maybe this place replaced poor management or cleaned up their act, because my husband and I both thought it was a good standing establishment. \nBoth times we went to eat here it was very busy, booming and customers seemed happy. \nIf you haven't tried it or it's been awhile I highly recommend giving this place a go. \nI'm glad we did!",
"Poor reviews are justified for this location. Stick with their chicken. Shrimp is not good plus they screwed up order.",
"Second time the Brandon location has ripped me off. Another item paid for not provided with the drive through order. And of course the manager graciously apologizes wanting us to come back wasting our time, gas and money. Do not visit this location but if must make them inventory your order or you will get robbed as well.",
"This review is based off food and service received around 930pm on Friday, May 27, 2016. \n\nI don't usually review fast food joints, but I really wanted to share my thoughts on tonight's experience. This location is always very busy. I live on the same street and the drive thru line is always long. Tonight they were especially busy. There was a 15-30 min wait for mild chicken and their credit card machine was down on a Friday night so tensions were high. People were getting upset. The whole team on staff handled it very graciously. The manager was multi tasking and made sure to announce the wait times and credit card situation to everyone that walked through the door. Her team clearly respected her and they had a really nice chain of command going on back there. Today, I realized I really appreciated the mirrors above their food prep lines. I can tell that they simply had too much business to keep up with the chicken cooking times, which is honestly great! The busier, the fresher your food is at a fried food spot! Lol. My cashier was Deja and she was also very nice. \n\nI noticed today, It can get really stressful back there. And I just wanted to commend all the staff on hand for their huge smiles and good spirits. Oh and my food was great as always. :)",
"Omg!!! Is everyone at this location high?? Terrible service! I showed up at 9, because they close at 11:00, the internet says it, the sign on the building says it. Theres not a customer in sight but it'll be 15 mins for chicken, im okay with that because i like my chicken cooked. I pull around the building to park and wait. Lo and behold, it's the parking lot where you go to die! The cars waiting is 8 deep! I have no idea how long they've been waiting so i park and wait.. and wait.. in about 15 minutes the other people who had been there before me start to gather at the door, naturally looking for the food they paid for, but the doors are locked and it takes 5 minutes for the cook to come to the door, not the manager, the cook. He exclaims to everyone that there's a lot of chicken to get cooked when people ask why is it taking so long, and it was long, he say's \"I am just the cook, I can't do everyones job!\" And goes back into the locked building. By now everyone is out of their cars standing at the locked door, in the mean time there are 4 others inside just standing there, the manager is just literally laughing out loud, doing nothing but laughing. Fast forward 10 minutes we get our Chicken and its only 5 pieces, not the 8 we paid for so back it goes, thias was the norm, theyd bring out an order that wasn't right, so back it went. Manager is still doing nothing but laughing, maybe because she is high, like the rest of them. When the cook comes back with the chicken this time my husband asked what time they close and he said 10! Although the sign clearly says 11. Well why is the door locked? All the lights around the building were off as well. We arrived at 9 and finally got our food at 10! I am writing this review because this isnt the first time this whole situation has happened to me. \nI hadnt been there in a while and now I remember why, and I wont be back again.\nI felt like I was in an episode of Breaking Bad! If the Owner and Franchise don't care then I hope they close. Apparently these employees forgot what they were getting paid to do. Time to clean house at this location. From the top to the bottom. Terrible service. Its all down hill from here at this location.",
"I went here about a week ago and literally saw an employee selling drugs in the parking lot. I went to the manager and told her about this young man and went back and he is still employed with no repercussions. Very sad to see.",
"I took this girl that I have been seeing for awhile to this location on June 13,2017 approx. around 6:30 pm. It was her first time at Popeyes. She was so pumped at how the food and service was she said she would actually agree to change the status of our relationship to \"in a relationship\" WITH ME ON FACEBOOK!! I don't know if the Cajun spices or the crispy French fries dipped in ketchup was what changed her mind or if her and her boyfriend broke up. But whatever it is I can honestly say I will be a loyal customer for lyfe. #100"

"This is the second time I've come here in a week. I LOVE their gyros. I haven't had the lamb, yet.. I've just recently started eating chicken again but I still want to keep a mainly vegetarian diet. \n\nIt's family owned and they have a fairly large menu of gyros, burgers, and lots of fried goodies... and it's not expensive at all. I think my gyro a la carte was only like $3 something. And the gyros are HUGE with larget chunks of grilled chicken and lots of yummy onions. My boyfriend ordered a 1/2 pound double cheeseburger (I'm still trying to figure out where it goes, he's so skinny!) that I took a bite of (gasp) and it was delicious. Of course I haven't had a burger in over a year... :P\n\nNow location wise, well.. this is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. It's not the in the best location. It's located in an old strip mall where most of the businesses are closing or moving (the Best Buy that was there moved over to Lafayette & 65 south.), but I really hope that they don't close down this little gyro shop. Check it out!",
"When I'm really hungry and can't quite put a finger on what to get I head to Mr. Gyro, cause I know he's got the solution to my problem. \n\nMr. Gyro is ran by a Brother/Sister act that after being a regular for years I know they could give Donnie & Marie a run for their $. They are always zinging each other to the delight of who ever is within ear shot. This place is one of many Jack of all Trades menu Gyro joins that have sprung up in Indy in the last decade or more. They have everything on their menu but the kitchen sink. I can't speak about much more than the gyro's because they are so good, and so generous in portion I won't bother with trying anything else on the menu.\n\nI get a huge Gyro with feta & extra sauce, huge order fries & a pop for around $7. That's excellent value in my book. Plus the fact that the flavors are exactly what their supposed to be it's a no brainier.\n\n*One last tip, I recommend the drive-tru or take out. The Dinning Room has all the charm of a county hospital waiting room.\n\n** If it's after dark don't risk getting out of your car the neighborhood is that bad!",
"Lots to choose from. We ate inside the restaurant. Had the 2 Chicago Dogs, fries, and drink special. It was good. The hot dogs were Vienna. French fries were hot, good, and fresher than you would find at other places with similar prices.",
"The menu has almost too many things to choose from. After working in this part of town for about 5 years I have been here several times and it is always consistently average. They Gyro is exactly what you expect. Once in a while they have a $4.99 special for 2 chicago dogs, fries and a drink thats not bad. All in all decent food for a decent price.",
"I love this place and was eating here once a week for a while until I'd tried almost everything on their menu. The staff is friendly enough. My wife and I returned here after being gone for almost a year and they still recognized us. This is a family owned place and you'll probably be greeted by mr Gyro, himself or his wife. The only thing that I really shy away from here is the bathrooms, which I can't remember ever being clean. It's worth stopping in for sure if you don't have to make a pit-stop inside. The gyro dinner or the hummus plate are my favorites",
"If you want good food at a great price try Mr Gyro. The gyro platter includes a side salad and drink for less then $8.00. The place is NOT fancy, but the owner and his family always make you feel welcome. My friends and family are regulars at Mr Gyro for several years - we are never disappointed with the food or service.",
"Wide menu is always a plus for me as I like variety. I've had better gyros, but it hit the spot in the time of desperate craving.",
"Quick cheap bite? This is your place. When lamb is on your mind but don't want to go to a nice, sit down restaurant Mr Gyros has you covered. Their menu is large but its all about the gyro and the fries.\n\nFood: 4/5\nLocation: 3/5 \nService: 3/5",
"Mr. Gyro's should be renamed to Mr. Good Eats!\n\nI have known about Mr. Gyro's since it opened up. I forget the exact date, but I can tell you it has been open for at least 10 years in this same location. I decided to go and try Mr. Gyro's recently, I didn't know anyone who ate there so I never got any good or bad references about the place, but I do know this about locally-owned restaurants in general-- if they have been open for several years, it's not because the food is bad, right??\n\nWell Mr. Gyro's certainly follows this statement-- Overall the food in here is very good, freshly made, and an excellent value!! How many restaurants have all those qualities these days? Very few indeed.\n\nI'm not real big into gyros, which was the big reason for staying away for so long before trying it out. i was plesantly surprised to find that the menu is quite extensive for being such a small restaurant-- anything from cheeseburgers to breakfast items can be ordered here. I've had the tenderloin, double cheeseburger, grilled cheese, fries, and hot dogs here-- no culinary fireworks at all, just very good quality food. This is a perfect place for lunch if you are in the area.\n\nAnd the value-- I once ordered a 1/2 pound double cheeseburger, generous portion of fries, and drink-- all for around $7! Try that at any sit down restaurant, hell, try that at any fast food restaurant-- it can't be done! And the quality of the food was definitely superior to fast food, with only the elite burger joints serving up a better burger than Gyro's. \n\nI still haven't tried the gyros there, but I did observe about 10 people and what they were eating and 3 of them had gyro platters, so I take it to mean that the gyros are also pretty good. The decor is well, let's say, old fast food restaurant style-- not very inviting for sure. Don't let that keep you away, the food makes up for it.\n\nIf you are in the area and need quick cheap eats, stop by and grab anything on the menu. This is a great place for people on this side of town.",
"Big portions. Great gyro. Seasoned well. Could use one more pita bc they give so much lamb. Had a salad, kinda skimpy but still good. Was lettuce and a few tomatoes and olives. My Lil sis had the fries. Twstes great. Restaurant is simple, almost threadbare. I presume many do takeout. \n\nLots of options on the menu. Great prices. My dinner was below $8.00 and had enough for leftovers. Will definitely return."

"I used to love IHOPs as a whole. I'd tackle someone to get to eat at one. Either my taste has changed or this one isn't as good as I remember them to be. While the food deserves two stars, our service is so ridiculously good, you can't give two stars. Those guys and gals work their butts off for a dollar and deserve it all.\n\nPancakes...hmmm...fell flat but not in the good way. Tasteless and almost frozen/reheated-like. The hashbrowns are full of butter and love; so, I can forgive the pancakes. But it IS the International House of Pancakes not IHof Hashbrowns. The acronym IHOH is funnier to say outloud :)",
"This IHOP is overall okay. The food is okay and the serivce is fairly fast. It's usually fairly crowded and very busy/noisy. I must say the service is fast. Happy eating.",
"Great place for Pancakes in a fast food atmosphere.",
"I rarely visit IHOP because frankly there are many other places I would like to eat and explore, but this is one of the BF's favorite breakfast joints, so of course I let him pick where we go to dine at least 1 out of 10 times :)\nFirst off we went during the holiday break season, so everyone is off and at 11am IHOP was hopping (pun intended) \nThe line was almost out the door (yikes) but we were seated in less than 10 minutes. everyone was so friendly and in a good mood (strange) \nOur food was delivered but we had to wait 10 minutes for silverware... I had the bacon omelet which had nacho cheese/cheese dip inside. It was probably something else, but that's what it tasted like to me.(not a fan) it was decent, but it came with pancakes (not a fan) but i am a crepe fan. now these crepes aren't the best, but the butter and jam (Swedish) they put on them were! next time i'm forgoing the whole egg/omelet thing and just getting (as the name suggest) crepe pancakes!",
"Had some a yummy Viva La French Toast there on Friday night, and Devin was an awesome server! Not used to having a stellar server experience at a waffle joint, but there you are. IHOP has good food at good prices, and this one is clean and seems well run.",
"I like pancakes, and IHOP makes good pancakes. I really like their Bacon Temptation omelet. You can never have too much bacon.",
"Ignored for over 10 minutes. I was happy to read for awhile, but after seating me they didn't say one word. I was hungry for actual food and so I left. They forgot about me!",
"This location is always busy so I expect to wait. What I don't expect is a greeter that is rude and inept. The food is consistent at least. Of course we're talking dressed up greasy spoon breakfast so consistency should not be a real problem. To be frank, this was probably my last trip to this IHOP. The prices have gotten to be stupid for what it is. If I'm going to pay 10 bucks for breakfast it is going to be a better quality than IHOP. It's no better than Waffle House or Steak and Shake so why pay more?",
"This has to be the dirtiest restaurant I've been in! Caked on food on all of the glass partitions, nasty salt & pepper shakers, nasty seats, nasty floors, nasty beyond nasty bathrooms. The server was OK...but when we went to the cash register, the manager was standing at the register and swiped her keys off the counter leaving us standing there and told a kitchen guy she couldn't wait any longer for a cigarette! Will never ever go back!",
"IHOP is always my safe place, the only thing that saved this location was the food. As far as the service goes, she never came and asked for a refill, we saw her texting on her phone multiple times, and was talking to other employees about a different job. Not very impressed, don't think we'd return to this location."

"Ive passed by here almost every day for thee years and finally I experienced it.\nThis place is a timewarped hole in the wall luncheonette.\nThe walls are decked in yellow, orange and brown paneling. The grill is in your face, the china looks like it was stolen from the Barbie mansion in 1966. South Philly characters and sterotypes fill the bar stools. This place will win no awards for ambiance but it doesnt seem to give a S#!t\n\nThe food is classic working mans diner fare, The menu is set on plastic moveable type above the sandwich making station. Everyone in the place runs around in a way that can only be described as mechanized chaos. \nIn the short time it took us to get our omelettes we saw abut 15 people pick up HUGE takeout orders and 4 delivery people scurry around to get the orders out the door. Impressive considering only 1 person is working the grill!\n\nThe food was good, home fries hot crispy and browned! Omelettes well cooked and chock full of cheese and veggies.\n\nTwo omelettes, toast, homefries, sausage and coffee for less than $12.00",
"Imagine your favorite dive bar, but for breakfast. Delicious, greasy, cheap, awesome breakfast!\n\nBrunic's serves up fast and tasty breakfast along as well as lunch just off of Passyunk Ave in South Philly. The prices are great, the staff is friendly as you can imagine. Grab a table with some friends or sit at the counter to watch them whip up a hearty omelette with a heaping pile of home fries! I highly recommend the western omelette.",
"Very interesting breakfast spot. Like a previous reviewer stated, this place sort of resembles a dive bar that serves breakfast. Extremely friendly staff who genuinely seem to care about your order. As far as the food goes, the omelettes are my favorite. On weekends, they serve creamed chipped beef, but their take on the dish did not impress me.",
"This is a great corner breakfast spot. Local, friendly, greasy, cheap. Generous portions. Large variety of breads to choose from for breakfast sandwiches. Sit at the counter of maybe 10 stools, or sit at three 4-top tables.\n\nThis is breakfast definitely done right. I'll be back.",
"Cozy, 4 table, 10 seat luncheonette, very clean, long in tradition and in service. Staff is completely cordial. I had the ham/cheese omelette with toast and home fries, regular coffee $7.75. I was in around 8am, and the place was starting to fill up some an hour later. Good unpretentious diner experience.",
"Food's very good here. I ended up ordering a steak and eggs sandwich and it was very delicious!",
"This corner luncheonette appears to be a cross between a dive bar and a greasy spoon diner. Friendly service, cheap eats, no-nonsense atmosphere. And they appear to cook all of the breakfast items in a puddle of butter on the grill. The food is simple, tasty and satisfying.",
"Fantastic!!!! Owners were super friendly!! It was clean and comfortable.\nPlus all their dogs are rescue dogs!! Gotta love that",
"I was surprised that this place has such high rating. First of all, the price is expensive for the types of food they serve and there are other better breakfast places in the neighborhood. I went here because I was too hungry to go elsewhere. It was a disappointing experience--the fries were not good and the omelet I got was just normal, nothing spectacular.",
"I am addicted to scrapple. \n\nIs it really the remains of the pig after hot dogs have been made? Yes. \n\nIs it supposed to look like grey play-doh on the inside and a crisp turd on the outside? Yup. \n\nIs it a regional food that I think is over-the-moon delicious ? Absolutely. \n\nAnd as a Philadelphian I am familiar with our local diners and most are stingy with their scrapple. Not Brunics. The give me a healthy serving of scrapple goodness.\n\nBrunics is a greasy spoon that serves the neighborhood for breakfast and lunch. A family owned establishment, the owners are nice , but still have a no-nonsense South Philadelphia edge to them. If you not familiar with this sort of establishment, then you may be put off by the service or the salty language. \n\nThe food is coked in a pool of butter. Vegans, like an ancient vampire exposed to the suns deadly rays, would hiss and turn to ashes the minute they inhaled the buttery deliciousness of the air, which is fine by me. \n\nThey aren't expensive and the portions are huge. The place is a bit tight when they are busy. My biggest qualm is that the vulgar language is a bit much. I may be a prude, but sometimes we don't have to hear the f-word three times in the same sentence."

"I had a small orange juice, one egg over medium, grits, wheat toast, and some fruit. I read the first reviewer and he wasn't so happy about it, but if Blueberry Hill can't manage an egg, grits, and toast, we'd be in serious trouble.\n\nService was pleasant though not very attentive, and the place at least seemed clean! \n\nYou check out up front, by the way.",
"I'll save you some time by telling you to just go with the namesake and order the blueberry pancakes. You won't regret it. I'd recommend asking your waiter/waitress for some whipped cream to perfectly top off the huge stack of flap jacks. But go hungry! Too good to let any go to waste!!\n\nI wasn't particularly in the mood for coffee since I was going in for a late lunch meal, but when I saw the nostalgic brown coffee mugs already set on our table, I thought \"hmm, maybe a cup of coffee WOULD go nicely with blueberry pancakes....\" and then the big bowl of various creamers set on the table caught my eye!! Indecision OVER with the sight of Almond Joy, Hershey Chocolate Carmel, and Amaretto flavored creamers. Yum. I've never seen these flavors of creamers at any other restaurant so I was very excited!\n\nPancakes and coffee from Blueberry Hill were a perfect combo for a late Saturday brunch.",
"Blueberry pancakes = pancakes with blueberry topping. If you are going to use the words blueberry and pancake in the name of your restaurant then I'm going to expect pancakes with blueberries IN the batter.",
"I feel like if there were a 2.5 star rating, it would be more appropriate. There was nothing particularly bad about this place, but it was nothing special.\n\nService was average to above average.\n\nMenu was breakfast standards, no stand outs, but no essentials missing.\n\nThe food was passable. My hashbrowns were cooked well (yes, shredded potato goodness) and my country fried steak was pretty delicious. It appeared hand breaded and was well seasoned.\n\nSurprising, the worst thing there was my side of pancakes. When I try to make pancakes at home, they always come out tough. I've wondered the secret to good pancakes. Apparently they haven't discovered the secret here, either. The pancakes were dense and difficult to cut with a fork. A stolen bite (or two) of hubby's French toast was much better.\n\nThe prices were extremely reasonable. I think it was around $40 for 4 people.",
"Great food here! They have delicious pancakes. You can even get a to go cup of coffee.",
"A delightful hometown pancake house. With their breakfast lunch and dinner menu, it reminded me of some of that diners I've visited back east.\n\nThe menu consists of a variety of items, you can get practically anything, from pancakes to catfish or even an open face turkey sandwich. I had the Gyro which was served with chips and a side salad. I skipped the chips but the enjoyed the side salad. It was nothing to write home about but it was made with fresh lettuce and was basically what you expect in this type of establishment. The gyro was also good with a side of cucumber sauce and sprinkled with feta cheese. I was a little apprehensive to order a gyro here, considering the vast array of foods that they prepare. I was thinking it wouldn't be very authentic however, I was pleasantly surprised. The meat on the sandwich might have been a tad bit overcooked but still quite tasty. \n\nOur waitress was charming, to say the least, very attentive and had patience with us as we had a party of 12. Since we had such a large party, I called ahead. They had a table set us up for us in the back when we got there. I highly recommend this place especially for large parties.",
"First time I was here, I got the Mexican skillet with a side of toast. Everything was delicious and I wished there was more. After stealing a bite of hubby's pancakes, I lamented the fact that I didn't get any. They were fluffy and delicious. I stole a few more when he went to the bathroom ;)\n\nThis time, I didn't make the mistake of missing out on these awesome pancakes!",
"Good diner in Mooresville. Breakfast offerings are plentiful, tasty and reasonably priced.",
"Great food & great service. Big menu, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner during all hours of operation. Felt like I was back in Chicago at a great Greek diner.",
"Can't rate it on food or anything related to the eating of food because I never got to eat there. Instead, I sat, for 40 minutes, waiting for a table that I was told would be ready in 15 minutes. I saw several people get seated that both got there before me and after me. I ended up leaving because I couldn't wait any longer. It seemed that people who appeared to be regulars got seated before us. \n\nI can understand keeping the regulars happy, but don't you want new customers? \n\nI'd say I'll leave a review when I get a chance to eat there, but after today, I can't imagine trying again."
