"This is a great little place if you want a quiet meal. The sushi is excellent and the service is great. Excellent atmosphere. I highly recommend it. It is a BYO and there is a liquor store right next store with a large supply of Japanese style drinks.",
"I have been coming to Tomo for 2 years now. I have gone with extremely large groups, 20+ and quiet dates. The staff always handling what ever is thrown at them in stride. (Friday and Saturday nights are very busy, and the service can get slow) I have tried their Bento Boxes, as well as several of their Teriyaki dishes, and everything has always been good. The real star is their $21 all you can eat sushi. With numerous special rolls that would normally cost you $10-$12 dollars any where else it is a huge value. I am a huge fan of simple Nigri and theirs is always extra fresh and flawlessly prepared, this place is to busy to serve \"old sushi\". I would recommend it to anyone!",
"Four words that make a man happy- All you can eat. I went here expecting average buffet style oversalted sushi. I was wrong. The checklist of options of sushi and sashimi for a flat fee of twenty dollars Wow. The spicy tuna was fantastic. I had spicy kani salad. I had the california rolls. Everything was made fresh on sight. It was super clean quiet and cozy with a nice sized booth. I'd go back in heartbeat, i just need to find some friends to make a little trip!",
"I tried the all you can eat sushi here for the first time on Friday night and it was awesome. The taste and presentation was wonderful. The only downside might be the speed of the service (not the food, I realize that it's being handmade...but beverages. When you are handing someone a freshly fried tempura roll that has steam coming from it, you shouldn't be too far away from topping off their water). Admittedly, this seemed to be an extremely busy night, so your wait time may vary.",
"ALWAYS Cramped, Crowded, and the service is SLOW. Servers can be real MOODY. Food is typical Sushi, A little pricey for the area, nothing spectacular. DO NOT go here if you want an intimate, private meal! I had a meal ruined just because the two Psychologists sitting within 3 feet of me, decided to talk about their dysfunctional patients throughout the meal. It's like being in a train in New York City. This place has a HUGE take out business. Liquor Store located next door for BYOB.",
"Absolutely wonderful food and service. You make not expect much as it is located in a shopping center, but it is the best place for sushi in the area. \n\nFor just about 20 dollars including tip, I had some delicious food. I started with their avocado salad. It was a simple dish, but rich in flavor, especially for a salad! On a bed of iceberg lettuce laid almost an entire avocado thinly sliced across dressed in ginger dressing and drizzled with a creamy sauce. So filling! Then I had the tuna lovers special. This came with two rolls - spicy and regular tuna roll, six pieces each! Also served with this are three pieces of tuna, sort of sashimi style. I also tried their iced green tea, and it was so good! Sweet but not overbearing. \n\nI was stuffed and didn't eat anything for the rest of the day! I'm so glad that is place is five minutes from my house :)",
"I have died and have gone to Sushi heaven..... I have tried Sushi from different places and i gotta say on the Jersey side this is tops in my book. I had gotten there before the lunch rush hit, and that was thumbs up on my part. \n\nThe chef specials was very good, explosions of flavors , Just the right amount of rice , not too much or too little.. just right..\nThe Spicy Tuna HOLY MOLY.. this was prob my fav. very satisfied with the prep work to this bad boy. I should have taken a picture, but my mouth was watering and my brain went to Homer Simpson mode. \"mmmm eat sushi now mmmmm\" \n \nEverything was fresh .. never stayed out longer than need be.. always replenishing. I never saw less than 5 pieces out there.\nTheir other side bars with salads and so forth i really didn't pay any mind except for their Kani salad .. what can i say this had a great .. i mean GREAT taste to it.. Spicy , but not where you have to drink a gallon of milk, or eat a pound of bread to cool off your tongue. You do say wow though... then you get your fork and get some more and then.. Ohh mamma comes out .. then you look around and get greedy and go for more... just like the Sushi they make.\n\nWent with their iced Green tea, another treat to go with the meal you just endured. It had a sweet taste to it... not too sweet , but just enough to please ones taste buds. \n\nAnother note, the wasabi... ohhhh yeaa u can tell this wasn't canned stuff... \n\nThe servers can be a little slow, i did have to wait a little for my green tea, i guess they wait til its just ice left; or they hear that slurping sound. \n\nI don't mind the 20 min drive now that i found this place",
"I was not there for the buffet, just for a quick sushi lunch. Service was fast and friendly.\n\nThe spicy tuna roll was nowhere near spicy enough and they put that crunchy stuff in the spicy tuna roll, which I am not a fan of. Used all of my wasabi and asked for more because the tuna wasn't hot enough (wasabi diddn't have enough of a kick either). The eel roll was ok, but I have had better. Ginger salad was good, with a lot of ginger dressing on it, but was watery. \n\nThere wasn't anything wrong with Tomo's sushi, just seemed pretty bland. I have definately had better. Try Bamboo Fusion in Clementon if it isn't too far away.",
"Went down to this Sushi restaurant while I was venturing in South Jersey and I have to say this is a decent spot for sushi. \n\nHowever, I feel the all-you-can eat is a little pricy (~ $22) for a very limited menu. I may be spoiled by the many other sushi restaurants that offer all-you-can-eat in my area, but I would stay away from all-you-can-eat here due to the fact that there are not many rolls or even sashimi options. They have just basic rolls such as spicy tuna and not many specialty rolls on the all-you-can-eat. The quality of the sushi was nothing special to say the least.\n\nI recommend just spending money on the regular menu items as they have a variety Japaneses entrees such as Hibachi, Teriyaki, and Noodle dishes. They also have a good-sized specialty roll menu, but I just wish more rolls were available on the all-you-can-eat option.\n\nAlso, I did try their green tea ice cream here, and I was not a fan. Maybe I just had a bad batch or something? The green tea just seemed off.\n\nThis place does get points for being BYOB, with a liquor store in the same complex.",
"If you're looking for a Japanese restaurant that is a little more authentic than the other sushi bars in the area, I'd suggest you try Tomo. They offer some more authentic Japanese dishes that most Americanized sushi bars do not have. Most of the food is good and I love that they offer mochi and red bean ice cream for desert. However, the sushi is mediocre to me. It lacks the flavor that I am really looking for when I go. Some of the maki rolls and sashimi I have had tastes a little too fishy for my liking. I've been here three times though and I've always had the same thoughts. I have to also say that the service is terribly slow. I know the sushi is made to order but the wait time is ridiculous no matter how many people are in there with you. It is not horrible but it leaves me desiring something more."

"Went there with my family on Sunday morning. There were 9 of us in the group including 4 kids under the age of 9. The atmosphere was very lively. I ordered the eggs benedict and it was very good. My wife had a breakfast sandwich on a hoagie roll. It looked great and she said it was delicious. My kids loved their grilled cheese and ham sandwiches and my niece enjoyed her scrambled eggs. They cleared their plates which doesn't happen very often! I highly recommend Kelly's for good food at very reasonable prices. I grew up in Thorndale and when I'm home visiting my parents, I'm going to make every effort to stop by Kelly's.",
"Best Breakfast in the area. Tried it for the first time and was impressed. Service extremely friendly, family owned and worked, good prices, very clean, and tasty food. Went there today with my daughter and we both will be back again.\n\nDon't let the location scare you away - risk is worth the gain.",
"We stopped in here because Thorndale is sorely lacking in good breakfast spots, and the Yelp reviews looked promising. Sadly, we were not impressed. The menu does not seem to be online, so I don't remember exactly what I ate, but it was definitely mediocre at best. The service was friendly and the prices were reasonable, so I will give them points for that. Thorndale, please produce a delicious breakfast spot and I will be there in a heartbeat!",
"Great food, reasonable prices, prompt and courteous service - what more can you want? It's a good family breakfast place. Better than Happy Days by far.",
"little spot in a strip shopping center anchored by a Giant in Downingtown. Busy when we entered but were sat right away. My omelette was the way i ordered it and my sons breakfast platter with 2 eggs, potatoes, bacon, toast and pancakes we just what he wanted. this was our first time and we will visit agian.",
"This is truly an great neighborhood restaurant. \n\nI have been here on a few occasions. The breakfast items are just what I want: traditional, cooked to order properly and served in a timely manor. Good tasting and reasonably priced. Staff is friendly and efficient. \n \nYesterday I asked the manager to put a poster up about an Agent Orange Town Meeting sponsored by my local VVA group. It was in the front window in a flash. Now that is community. \n\nFriendly, good food, reasonable prices and community spirit. You can' top that.",
"This the perfect place for singles, couples, families, and groups. You are urged to sit anywhere you like, and if there is a line on Fri, Sat, or Sun., DON'T LEAVE. (Almost no one does!) Kelly watches the tables and gets all her patrons seated ASAP.\n\nThe staff has gotten to know that if something is left on a table or chair it's probably mine. They've even called me at home to check!\n\nGreat homey place. I've been a frequent patron from day 1. And for 42 years have eaten at every restaurant from Coatesville through Exton.",
"I love this place for a good hearty full breakfast. The service is always friendly, and their food is excellent. Their omelets and pancakes are great and the place has a nice neighborhood spirit!",
"This place is great for brunch. I had the cheeseburger melt and it was pretty good. The staff is very nice, but it is sometimes crowded.",
"Love this diner! Wonderful food-absolutely delicious! Well priced. Friendly service and quick service. The ONLY negative is it is a tight place. During one visit, we had to sit with another couple just to fit. On another visit, the wait staff were standing right next to our table (because there was no other room to stand), complaining about some rude customers. Not exactly the atmosphere you want to hear during breakfast. But I will say again that the food is wonderful, restaurant clean. Will continue to return to this diner."

"It was average shawarma. They were out of chicken which was disappointing considering it was only 4:00 in the afternoon. Pretty long wait., and their credit card machine wouldn't take any card without a chip which was frustrating. The food was good, not the best. I will probably give them another chance once they have had a chance to establish themselves a little more.",
"Employees were very welcoming and the food was great quality, very tasty, and very filling. I'll definitely be going back.",

I will probably give them another chance once they have had a chance to establish themselves a little more.\n\nUPDATE: I see the the owner has accused me of faking this review because I posted it right after my review of another business, shawarma on the go. I did eat at both establishments. I ate at this restaurant on May 13th, around 4:30 in the afternoon. I tried shawarma on the go this past Friday, May 19th around the same time. I decided to review both at the same time because of the contrasts. I was planning on returning to shawarma on the run to give them another shot, especially because it is so much closer to my house, but to be called dishonest makes it worth it to head over to the other side of the river. Not a good plan alienating customers who would have given you regular business!",
"Amazing service. Very nice people. Definetly gained a new regular out of me.",
"I was so excited to try this new spot for lunch today.\n\nI am a really big fan of Mediterranean food, and I definitely have my favorites around town, so Shawarma on the Run had a lot to live up to. Ordering is simple: you go up to the counter and tell them what you want and you sit and wait and either eat there or take your food to go. The man working the counter was very nice and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. I got the beef shawarma platter which came with a small salad, hummus, pita bread and rice. I also got a Lebanese tea.\n\nThe food was good. The meat had a lot of flavor, the rice and salad were good and the hummus was nice and smooth. My platter and my drink came to $16.44 which was a bit pricey for lunch, especially considering there are other places where you can get the same thing for a $10 lunch special. My tea was $3, so take that into consideration. I guess it all evens out and the extra few dollars won't keep me away.\n\nI want to return and I want to try one of their wraps that look so good. Everyone here was really friendly and it was a nice atmosphere for dining. I am a fan!",
"Fresh and delicious falafel sandwich better than the one I ate in Jerusalem because the people that work there are very pleasant. The vegetarians will be pleased with this sandwich. Can't wait to try other food from this new place in the BEST BANK.",
"Food is absolutely delicious and the owner/workers were a pleasure to interact with.\n\nHighly recommend anyone interested in grabbing some Mediteranian Food to give this place a try.",
"I've been waiting for a great gyro spot on the West Bank for a long time. Shawarma on the Run doesn't disappoint either! \n\nMy eight year old tried shawarma for the first time and she wants to come back, she had the chicken gyro. \n\nI had the beef gyro meal, which comes with a small salad and fresh hummus. The hummus is very smooth and might be the creamiest I've ever tried, really good. The gyro was outstanding, and dripping with flavor. The meal was very filling, really the gyro on its own is filling enough. \n\nThe staff is very friendly and they definitely have put a lot of work and pride into the restaurant and it shows, very modern and clean inside. Definitely high on my recommendation list for the great food option starved West Bank.",
"This place was amazing! It came up as hot and new in my area and it didn't disappoint. We tried the chicken shawarma and the gyro combo plate and wow. The chicken was moist and full of flavor and the gyro meat was just plane delicious. It also came some rice that was also awesome and some fresh hummus. I had the Lebanese tea (again, awesome) and my wife had the lemon mint tea which she also loved. To top it off the owner was super courteous and willing to explain what everything was. All in all outstanding!!",
"I got the beef shawarma wrap with the humus and salad. Not only was the beef filled with fresh flavor but the humus is so so good. Nice portion for the price. Definitely will be a regular customer."

"If you know me, then you'll know that Figo is one of my favorite restaurants in the world (Collier location). I was incredibly excited to hear that Mirko (by one of the original Figo chefs and owners) was opening in Nashville and have eagerly awaited (somewhat nervously) to try it out. \n\nThe first time I ordered take-out: the rigatoni with Bosciola sauce (peas, mushrooms and ham in a cream sauce). It was great--very tasty and the pasta was well cooked. I wish it hadn't been cold when I got back to the office, or that the sauce had not leaked into the bag, but it was still delicious. The portions are large--so I probably should not have eaten the whole thing. But I did anyway!\n\nThe second time, I took my boyfriend there for a nice dinner. We had split a bottle of wine, sat next to the window, and had a great evening! He ordered the four cheese ravioli in Salsiccia e Funghi (sausage, mushrooms and cream). I had the Tortelli di Zucca (butternut squash ravioli with mascarpone cream and radicchio sauce. Oh my goodness. It was sooo decadent, creamy, buttery, amazing. His was great, too. The portions are big enough to split a salad and a pasta for a complete meal.\n\nThe ambiance is very nice and the location is great. It is so nice to not have to pay for parking! It would be a great place to have dinner before heading out to the bars on demonbreun if you are able to avoid the food-coma which engulfed us after our dinner.\n\nThe staff was very friendly--maybe too friendly in a nervous kind of way. We had at least 6 different folks walk up to our table to take our order, deliver food, refill our drinks, etc. That's a good problem to have and will work itself out. At lunch you order at the counter; at dinner you sit at a table. \n\nI'm so excited to go back. I absolutely need to try the Sorrentina sauce, the Apple, Sage and Sausage ravioli, the Pollo and Pepperoni sauce, the Caprino e Pinoli sauce....",
"I started off with a half salad. They were having a special buy one salad, get one free so I got the caesar and my wife got the caprese salad (which she enjoyed). The dressing on my caesar was warm and squeezed out of a tube. It tasted more like mayo than caesar and wasn't good at all. But the croutons were good. \n\nI ordered fettucine with alfredo sauce and added shrimp. I know this is Nashville and you can't have high expectations for the seafood but I paid $4 for the shrimp and they gave 5 tiny shrimp total. Pathetic. The noodles were overcooked and my dish came out luke-warm. \n\nThe alfredo sauce was ok. It didn't have much flavor to it. More heavy cream than cheese. Our server was inattentive and forgot several things we repeatedly asked for. The restaurant had a cool vibe but was definitely run like a chain. I could get a MUCH better bowl of pasta for $12 elsewhere so I won't be going back.",
"Nashville Scene recently wrote a very positive note on Mirko, which was the motivation to invite my wife for a \"nice, impromptu\" lunch last Saturday. Well, while the atmosphere is certainly modern, cozy, attractive and the wine and freshly baked, warm bread were quite good, the high expectations started to vanish little by little and steadily with the service, the food and not least important the desert and coffee. The poor young waiter did not bring the white wine my wife ordered, did not bring the soup and salad we ordered. The pasta was not cooked al dente. My plate came colder. The tiramissu, lacked enough Kalhua. The coffee not better than the one served - no offense to either place - in a gas station...A friend of mine used to say that a memorable experience in a restaurant start with a good bread, continues with an excellent meal and ends with a great coffee. Regretfully, Mirko failed with the middle part and the coda. Better training and step- up the kitchen standards can make this restaurant a blast with such great location and atmosphere. Good luck.",
"Well?\nwe had heard some great things about Mirko and decided to give it a try tonight. The waitress was very nice and very friendly. She gave us a history of the restaurant, and this made us equally excited to try the tastings!\nThe menu was great, we could really get creative amongst the many choices Chef had delivered to us, so much so that I asked for some recommendations. The whole experience of the menu was truly amazing.\nHowever after ordering it took over an hour to get our food (poor show!) and the bean dip with the bread became very over bearing!\nFinally our food arrived, being delivered by no more than 4 people, for just the 2 of us dining?\nThe presentation was good, the flavor was good, but the temperature was very, very cold. \nI ordered the ravioli, with a spicy chicken sauce. The pasta was warm, and just warm enough to eat, but the sauce tasted like they had just pulled it from the fridge. I also had a side of meat sauce, which was almost frozen.\nWe did not eat our entrees, due to the temperature, and this was truly disappointing, especially after the excitement built up from the menu.\nHowever, all was not lost, the management realized their mistake and did not charge us for our dinner. (i would have never returned if i had to pay for half frozen food)\nI found this to be adequate to our experience, and because of the recognition of their fault, we will try Mirko again.\nHowever, they did use the most tedious excuse of \"being too busy\" I did not see people linig up out side the door, and the issue was either with the kitchen or the delivery staff. I truly hate It when the issue is blamed upon the diners for poor service! Either the kitchen staff have no clue what they are doing, or the floor staff are not paying attention to when food is ready too be sent to a table.\nBe aware, it has a great menu, but when it comes to complete customer experience when dining, Mirko's has a lot to learn.",
"What is not to love about a large variety of fresh pasta, reasonably priced, served in a restaurant with great atmosphere. I get the ravioli with granny smith apples, and one of the creme sauces. Very good, and a large portion. The bread and bean dip is a super \"freebie\" appetizer, and the calamari is above average as well. The desserts looked really good, but were just \"so-so.\" Three of four trips have been rewarded with excellent service, and now we know which waitress to avoid on our next trip.",
"Great handmade pasta, cool atmosphere, lots of choices and very family friendly!!! Kids eat free on Sunday! Chicken Marsala is outstanding!",
"I love Italian food, but let's be honest, I love any kind of food that's done just right. Mirko does just that. If you're in the mood for freshly made pasta, freshly made sauce, and perfectly seasoned everything, then look no further than this little joint. It's tucked next to boutiques, bars and restaurants, but make no mistake! It definitely stands out.\n\nThanks to Living Social, we made a trip here last week for a low-key date night. After humming and ha-ing over the wide variety of options, I went with the gnocchi/Norma sauce combo, and boy am I glad I did. I could have licked that plate clean, but luckily for everyone else, I was taught some manners. Boyfriend went with the lasagna, which was also VERY good! But back to the fresh, meaty gnocchi... back to the mouthwatering eggplant, and big chunks of mozzarella, and the melty ricotta... Yum! I will definitely be back for more of that savory, flavorful goodness!\n\nDid I mention that the service was impeccable? Because it was. The staff was attentive and friendly, and my soda was refilled before it went flat/watered-down (maybe more times than I should've allowed). That night they even offered half off of desserts, but I was so full from the tasty meal I couldn't do it. Next time, Mirko!!\n\nIf you want a low-key Italian meal full of fresh flavor without breaking the bank, this is your spot!",
"I think Mirko's is a very solid addition to the round-a-bout. I like that they have converted to a full service restaurant as opposed to ordering at the front counter. Perhaps after I learn the menu better the front counter will be a bit less stressful. I have had the fettuccini with pink sauce and chicken, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and had great flavor. I have since gone back and ordered the spaghetti with meatballs, and it was terrific! The meatballs had wonderful flavor! My wife ordered the Gnocchi with a goat cheese cream sauce and it was very good as well. We love the complimentary fresh baked bread with the white bean and rosemary dip!",
"Ok. I did not have a nice experience here. The service was fine, but the food was disappointing. The minestrone soup was greasy/ oily and had no taste at all. I ordered the thin pasta with olive oil and garlic. The pasta was watery and pooling on the side of my bowl. The meatballs were not something to brag about either. Sorry, but I am not a hater...,",
"We have been here three times for lunch and it's always been delicious and with fabulous service. (can't wait to come back!)Had a wonderful lunch here with my husband.\nExcellent service from start to finish and very nice ambiance.\nGreat bread & bean dip. \nGreat pasta & sauce & perfect dessert (tiramsu) - also it was a huge piece. \nPrices good too! (Love to watch them make the pasta by hand too!)"

"A cozy neighborhood bar and grill combines their location on The Hill with Greek roots, providing a menu where everyone can find something they love.\n\nA good variety of sandwiches, pastas, pizza, and traditional Greek or Italian fare is available, but I was fully distracted by the Baba Ganoush Pizza. Essentially the garlic-y eggplant hummus replaces the traditional pizza sauce on a soft crust, and is topped with loads of cheese and gyro meat. It was incredible, and blinded me to any possible downside of this establishment.\n\nI'll just have to go back for more research.",
"Their homemade Greek dressing is awesome, but go for the House Dressing (basically a creamy Greek). It is heavenly. \n\nAlso a huge fan of any of the gyros and the baba ganoush. \n\nThe staff and owners are fantastic! One of the reasons they are successful at pulling off both Greek and Italian cuisines is the that the namesake's father is 100% Italian and his mother is 100% Greek (or the other way around, but I think that's right).",
"Full disclosure: I used to make my living as a food writer/critic for a city magazine (different city).\n\nBecause of this, my friends hate to go out to eat with me (funny, when the tab was paid for by my company, they loved it); I am constantly underwhelmed. \n\nSo its of no surprise that my friends were frustrated with me on a random Saturday night, looking for a \"decent\" restaurant on the Hill. We actually attempted to eat at Cunetto's, but after being told there was a 2 hour wait (at 8:00pm!), we promptly left (note: I still have yet to eat at Cunetto's, so I know nothing of the food, but the smell in the restaurant was terrible.). \n\nWe drove around the neighborhood, looking for anything that looked promising, and that's when we drove by Anthonino's.\n\n\"Stop.\" \n\"Why?\"\n\"Here, we're eating here.\"\n\"It looks like a mom and pop dive bar.\"\n\"Its perfect.\" \n\nAnthonino's looks like a place that serves good food. There's nothing fancy about the place--after all, cooks aren't interior designers--its just a giant room where people eat and drink. I'll take good food over ambiance any day.\n\nNow, I must admit, I had my doubts when they dropped the menus on the table and I saw \"Greek and Italian Food.\" Its normally never a good sign when a restaurant attempts two different cultures (Ever eaten sushi at a Chinese restaurant? I rest my case). But Anthonino's did a very decent job. \n\nTheir calamari was the best I've had in St. Louis (on a follow up visit, it didn't taste as fresh, but was still better than the other sad examples of calamari I've had in this town), and the pasta dish I had, while not necessarily \"authentic,\" was delicious. Also, Anthonino's is the first place where I've actually enjoyed the toasted ravioli (every other time I've had St. Louis' famed toasted ravioli, it tasted like standard fried bar food). It was homemade! (I later learned, from a place down the street. Mama Something...)\n\nThe only problem I had was with the service. Our waitress literally came to our table a total of four times (greeting, drink order, food order and check--she didn't actually bring us anything). She didn't ask how anything was, nor did she bus our table as plates continued to pile up. My friends say its because I have a \"look,\" about me that makes people in the service industry think \"oh crap, not 'this guy,'\" but I also have crappy friends, so, whatever. \n\nThe other thing, as noted in a prior review, is that there are a TON of kids here. I'm the type of person that likes to drink away stress, so a few Peronis, and I didn't even notice them; I suggest you do the same. \n\nAlso, on the aforementioned second visit, a busy Friday night, I found the service to be excellent. But then again, maybe it was due to my successful attempt at appearing \"lookless.\"",
"Ok, I must admit, I was totally apprehensive about this place. It does not look like much, and honestly, no one, and I mean no one in my 27 years as a St. Louisan has ever so much as mentioned this place's existence to me. Considering how often I eat on The Hill, this is odd....this was not a good sign.\n\nHowever, the experience was wonderful, and the food was amazing. I mean, it wasn't the best meal I have ever had on The Hill, but seriously, it was damn good meal. I was totally satisfied, full, and I didn't spend a ton on the meal. All very very good things when it comes to a dining experience in my book.\n\nThe food is a mixture of Greek and Italian. I realize this sounds very strange and like it could easily bomb. I thought the same, but since I love both these types of food, I wanted to be fair and give it a real shot. They had some of the best pizza I have ever tasted. The crust was crispy and fresh, the sauce was just tangy enough, and they didn't overload the pizza with gluey cheese that sticks to the roof of your mouth. I absolutely adored the house dressing. It is very Greek like, but clearly more fattening (read more delicious) and I could have dipped every slice of pizza I had in front of me into the remainder in my bowl in order to find heaven. \n\nEveryone in my group enjoyed their dinner, and we went on our way out afterwards, pleasantly full and cheerful from our good experience. I will certainly be back.",
"This place is amazing, and I think more people need to know about it!\n\nHomemade pasta- awesome. It seriously so delicious, I don't even know how to describe it. There are a few different sauce choices for the pasta, we got ours with the \"pink sauce\" (tomato and cream mix) with Italian sausage. OMG to die for! The sauce was amazing, the pasta was amazing, the sausage was amazing.\n\nI got the a gyro- which guess what? It was amazing! I added feta and roasted red peppers for an extra $1.50 and it was totally worth it. It came with homemade fries that had a bit of parmesan sprinkled on top- awesome! Gyro and fries was only $6.00 and I had plenty left for lunch the next day.\n\nMy husband got the special for that night- I have no idea what it's called but it was this calzone type shell on the outside and inside there was prosciutto, Italian sausage, ground beef, red sauce, and small pasta shells. He loved it. It was also huge... easily enough for 3 people to share. His came with salad, and he got the house dressing which was a creamy greek- someone else described it as heavenly, I'd have to agree.\n\nWe were so impressed with the food that we also ended up getting 6 canoli's to go...wow were those great as well. \n\nService was excellent too, our waitress was great, and overall we loved this place. In fact we tried to go back 2 nights later (Sunday) to try the pizza and get more of that pasta with the pink sauce, but were disappointed when we showed up and they were closed. So unfortunately it looks like Sunday's are an off day for them.\n\nOh also the decor was really fresh and kind of funky, had a very cool vibe. It very much fit the restaurant and the people in it.\n\nCan't wait to go back to Anthonino's soon!",
"I have to admit, I don't know if I ever would have tried this place if it were not for two things 1. Yelp and 2. iPhone.\n\nI noticed the good reviews and made a mental log that I wanted to try Anthoninos. One night while driving around a few friends and I wanted to eat, I thought lets go to Anthoninos. Neither of my companions had heard of it and I could not for my life remember where it was. Enter iPhone.\n\nSo, we found the place and I know my friends were skeptical. But, the food did not disappoint. Everything was great! I have been back several times now and have had excellent experiences. \n\nLast visit, fried artichoke hearts served with tziki sauce and pizza topped with spinach and tomatoes. Place was PACKED on a saturday at 2 pm due to graduation celebrations. Service was still great. Awesome find, thanks yelpers!",
"Thanks to reading the other reviews on here we went to this place while visiting St. Louis. Plus, staying at the Red Roof Inn just a few blocks away, it was easy to find this restaurant. Parking is on the street. The steets are mostly residential and so there are no meters but we ended up finding a spot about a block away. We went to Anthoninos on an early Friday evening. We had the Greek pizza. It was very good. The waitress was very nice and had just the right amount of stopping by to check without seeming like she was hovering or intruding. I ended up pulling some of the feta cheese off of the last couple of pieces of pizza since there was a lot of the cheese on there. But the toppings were very nice, the crust was a medium \"hand-tossed style\", and was cooked just right.",
"I have a hard time giving a good review to anything from St Louis (I am a die hard Cubs fan) But Anthonio's pizza was a treat when we stayed there for a game last year. Very unique style of pizza sauce, the cheese was fantastically gooey, if a bit salty, the sausage was good and spicy. The crust was ultra crisp and light, like I like.",
"It was a treat to discover this gem on my recent trip to STL. I had the grouper, which was simply prepared to perfection. My daughter and niece had the ravi's, which they both inhaled! The house salads and dressings are wonderful, they even have great bread! The interior is casual with a \"small town tavern\" sort of feel. Very comfortable.\n\nThe heading of this restaurant here on Yelp needs to be corrected. They DO serve alcohol. Several, nicely priced wine selections and a full bar. I alerted our Server about this \"mis-statement\", but I see it still isn't corrected.\n\nGo and enjoy yourself St. Louis - you lucky dogs!",
"This is a great place that isn't to be overlooked. My husband LOVES the gyro pizza but it is so huge! We need to bring friends to help him out with it, or he has yummy leftovers. I've been getting the falafel quite a bit and it is pretty good for a bar. Really, the place is all about the gyro meat on pizza. This thing is amazing for meat eaters."

"Great outdoor location for late night drinks! \n\nI showed up Saturday night at 10pm with 6 other people. The hostess was very accommodating and pulled together several outside tables on Manning St for my group.\n\nMy friends and I enjoyed a huge variety of drinks from white cosmopolitans to classic 20 manning mojitos to something with gin and elderberry. Each was reasonably priced (for top notch cocktails) at around $8. I've often enjoyed their food but found it overpriced, but the drinks were just right.\n\nThe outdoor seating atmosphere was great - even when it started to rain - the awning covered our table and kept everyone (and their drinks) dry. Our server was attentive and friendly. This was a great place to bring out of town guests to experience Rittenhouse Square and Philly sidewalk dining.",
"Twenty Manning Grill, not to be confused with Twenty Manning of yestermonth, is excellent!!! \n\nI was actually on a powerwalk with my pregnant friend and she got hungry....again... so lucky for us, we stumbled upon Twenty Manning Grill, which happened to be in the middle of its soft opening.\n\nWe slid right in and had a delightful experience. From the first encounter with the very well seasoned host, to our quirky waiter with a pig tatooed on his forearem.\n\nThe food is something to write home about. My friend had crispy brussel spourts with shaved parmesan cheese and a gazpacho to die for!! The pineapple sorbet in the middle of the gazpacho really took it to the next level. \n\nI had an amazing strawberry/berry crumble. It's the first time I've been excited to have more berry than crust... that's how fresh these berries were!\n\nThe prices, by the way, are super reasonable for Rittenhouse... I was actually a little shocked. \n\nThis was quite a serendipitous snack!",
"Uh, what? You're an expensive place, you're supposed to have decent service. That means when I call to ask if you take reservations, don't say, \"No, we're walk-in basis only,\" and then immediately hang up without a, \"Bye, thanks for calling.\" Because I actually had a follow up question for you...\n\nI know that this restaurant is incredibly busy right now, but, seriously? How likely do you think I'm going to go to your restaurant if you were so rude to me on the phone? Maybe the point is to discourage people from coming since the place is so overwhelmed.",
"Terrible experience.\n\nI went here with 2 friends the other night. The food itself was not great. I had a turkey burger which was very dense and heavy and felt like I was eating compacted turkey, with no other detectable flavors. Still, not terrible, just not good. The fries were soggy, but again not terrible and certainly not good. The wine and beer selection on the menu was decent, but the beer my friend had ordered had already run out and was not available. My friends' food was also \"not great, not bad\" (the scallop dayboat and the tuna sashimi). Three stars for food. \n\nThe servers meant well but were disorganized, inattentive, and clearly still getting their act together. The hostess was fine, very polite. However, the servers from the kitchen repeatedly brought food to the wrong table (they brought another partys' entrees to our table, and our entrees to another table - on two separate occasions!). It took a long time to get our servers' attention to get the bill, and a long time for the bill to be brought once we requested it. \n\nThe WORST experience was AFTER the meal! I came home to find not one but TWO charges on my card - one for my dinner, and one for over $50 that I had not charged. I called the next day, and was told someone would call me back. No one called that day, but two days later someone called me and said that the $50 charge was a mistake on the part of the server, but since it was still \"pending\" that it would not make it to the final bill. I checked the final bill, and the charge for my meal (significantly less than $50) was the one that was removed and the $50 charge had gone through! I called back, and was told that the manager would call me by 5pm. By 6pm when no one had called, I called again. I spoke with the manager, and he said that this was \"strange\" as he knew the appropriate charge based on my bill, but never used the word \"sorry!\" He said that he would refund the appropriate amount. I asked if it would be possible to remove the charge completely for my meal given the time and inconvenience this had cost me. He said \"no\" and that the best he could do was refund the balance. He also said that he would call the bank to fix the charge, and then call me \"right back.\" I'm still waiting...and my online account still has the wrong charge on it.\n\nThis is really a shame, since I love Audrey Claire and have never had such a problem there. Twenty Manning Grill has potential but still has some major kinks that need to be worked out. That would be fine, but the kink that CANNOT be worked out is inappropriately RUDE customer service and LACK OF RESPECT for my time as well as my money. I will NOT be back.",
"Twenty Manning got a face lift! It's all bright and sunny yellow.\n\nI've been to TM Grill twice and only had positive experiences.\n\nFirst visit: 2 days after opening\nTania, our server, was a little nervous but really personable and friendly. My bf and I were out for a relaxing weeknight dinner - and in no rush - when we ran into a minor snafu. My entree was incorrect. That's fine, mistakes happen, but it's the way that TM Grill dealt with the situation that puts them a step above the rest. \n\nTania immediately came over to apologize and took full responsibility. She offered us our choice of salad (we already had an appetizer & brussels sprouts) and we declined. We were happy to wait while sipping on our cocktails.\n\nWhen my veggie burger did arrive, the wait was well worth it! Served on a cutting board, with a fresh pickle & shoestring fries, this towering burger was full of fresh vegetables and beans. The mildly sweet, buttery roll went so well with the extra sharp cheddar. It's messy, but it's one of the best I've tasted. The bf devoured his half chicken. \n\nWhen we got our bill my jaw dropped. $35 total! We had 4 martinis and each had two courses for a total of $35? They had comped both of our entrees because of the slight delay! This was completely unnecessary because we ate both our meals, but the manager insisted the discount was for our inconvenience. Of course we left glowing remarks for Tania at the table - and promised to be back soon. \n\nVisit 2: This week, outdoor dining with the pooch (I'll make this quick!)\nWe scored a comfortable two top table on Manning - perfect for any diners with dogs. Brooklyn received a fresh bowl of water before we even got our drinks!\n\nOur server was friendly, but he was obviously new and still learning how to time multiple courses. Dishes I loved? Brussels sprouts, roasted beets app (yellow & red) & the homemade veggie burger. Dishes to skip? The cheese plate - beautifully arranged with lots of fruit and honey, but skimpy on the cheese portions for the price.\n\nWe're sold on this new neighborhood staple as a solid place with fresh ingredients and strong drinks.",
"Good stuff! We thought we'd try it out this past weekend since it was newly renovated. It really wasn't that different from before, a coat of white paint over everything, and some new seating and tables, but the effect worked. It was much lighter and brighter and roomier. I like the new look much better. \n\nThe menu was changed up as well. We all got very different meals, and all enjoyed them. Lobster potpie, steak frites, ahi tuna sandwich and a beef noodle bowl. We all cleaned our plates like good little eaters. Oh and the appetizers were delicious too. Calamari, a cheese plate, and pork dumplings set us off to a good start. My friends liked the beers they had and I downed my peach margarita like nobody's business. \n\nOverall, a nice change for Twenty Manning, and I will keep it on my radar for when I am in the area again.",
"The just-opened Twenty Manning Grill is my favorite new restaurant in Center City. While I also liked the old Twenty Manning, it was darker and pricier, and I had to be in the mood for the Asian Fusion fare. The new place is bright and warm, the perfect neighborhood bistro. I could eat there 2 or 3 nights a week. In fact, since it opened a few weeks ago, I have already been to TMG about 5 times. I live in Center City and eat out a lot -- too much, probably -- and it is so great to find a friendly, happy place that is comfortable, warm and affordable (entrees are generally in the teens, topping out at about $22). The food is great, too. Even though it has only been open a few weeks, every dish I have eaten has been delicious. I highly recommend the caprese salad (so fresh and healthy), the roasted chicken and peas (served in a cast iron skillet) and the pork chop with roasted peaches. My favorite, though, I think is the flash-seared tuna, which I absolutely loved! For desserts, you can't go wrong with the half-baked chocolate chip cookie (served with vanilla ice cream). One final note: To a person, every bartender and server I have met at TMG has been really good, and super friendly. They all seem to genuinely enjoy working there, and their positive attitude helps define this happy little bistro! Oh, and one more final note: It's nice to see owner Audrey Claire walking around every night, greeting guests and attending to little details. Makes you feel like you are being welcomed into the home of a good friend.",
"This is one of my new favorite restaurants. The atmosphere is glamorous, the service is friendly and professional, and the food is excellent. I went on a Saturday night with my wife, and we were seated in a nice corner booth. We ordered calamari for an appetizer, and I got the beef noodles for my entree while my wife had the tuna. Both of us ordered the strawberry shortcake for dessert which was the highlight of the meal. A big plus is that the crowd made for fun people watching, and we were not rushed at all during our dinner - we sat down at 8:30 and left at 10:15 - plus, each course was spaced out just right which made for a very relaxing evening. Overall a fantastic experience - there were many other items I would like to try off of the menu so we will definitely be back!",
"20 Manning has been a firm favourite of mine since I moved to the Rittenhouse area 3 years ago; so you can imagine my dismay when I saw the windows papered up, and jumped to the conclusion that 20 Manning had gone the way of so many restaurants before it in that location, and shut down. I'm delighted to say that was not the case - Audrey Claire was merely doing a refurb...and what a marvellous refurb it is. I always liked the old 20 Manning, but I have to say I LOVE the new 20 Manning! The dark leather seating has been replaced with fresh, breezy and wonderfully comfortable buttercup-yellow banquettes, and the white walls have definitely breathed new life into the place. I was happy to see some old favourites still on the menu, alongside some equally delicious new ones. If you go, be sure to try the burger, served on a wooden board with possibly the tastiest fries in the city...or just try an order of the fries alone. As a British ex-pat, I'm extremely fussy about my fries (or \"chips\" as we call them back home). These were chunky, cooked to perfection, and served (as they should be) with salt AND vinegar. Of course, being one of Audrey Claire's restaurants, there was a little twist - powdered, not liquid, vinegar, which rather cleverly give flavour without making the fries soggy...genius! Great job, Audrey Claire!",
"For years, we never went to T.M. We had been a few times, but it was a bit pricey for the Asian fusion- always thought you could get a much better meal for the price of one TM entree at a Chinatown dive.\n\nSo, we went back to see what TMG would bring to the table. Cozier lighting, wainscoting, buttery yellow banquettes warmed up the space.yu Bar menu \"snacks\" invite you to settle on your bar stool for a long haul.\n\nAfter a quick one at the bar, we headed for a table\n \"Do you have a reservation?\" \n\"No, is that a problem?\"\n\"Let me see what I can do. 7pm?\"\nMy friend A and I looked at each other- there was no one there- a family with a baby was finishing up. Seriously? Drop the \"we are so busy attitude\"- it's overcast and cold...\n\nMenu- Definitely much less expensive. Burgers, smaller dishes. Inviting and comforting: chicken in a skillet, noodles with beef. No attitude from the food choices. Foodie food- roasted beets, interesting salads. \n\nCan't put my finger on it, but there was something missing. Lacking soul. All the pieces are there but somehow not cohesive."

"Great \"quick dining\" mediterranean food, of the Egyptian origin but attempts a pan-Med cuisine. Beautiful location hidden in Maryland farms, by a large pond. In the spring or fall it is recommended to sit on the patio. Indoors, many small tables await local regulars and businessmen. A television indoors regularly shows international soccer matches, or else, off season, news or entertaining Egyptian programming.\n\nThe rice is flavorful and moist, with vermicelli (and lentils, on vegetarian platters). If you ask for everything on the veggie plate, they will put grilled onions and other good things on top. Fettoush is great and preferable to the other salad. Falafel are usually served with a little sauce on them. The lamb gyro is good. Cucumber sauce (tzatziki) is good. Pita on platters comes toasty (with a slight floury touch) and cut in quarters in a basket. You can get more if you ask. They are also very quick to fix any mistake in your order.\n\nDesserts include baklava and an intriguing tapioca.",
"This unassuming restaurant has really top notch Mediterranean food. The name is pretty generic, but the food is full of flavor and variety. The restaurant is located in the business park on Maryland Way in Brentwood so it does a good deal of business over the lunch hour. They have a full menu and a long list of lunch specials. \n\nThe lunch specials include tasty dishes such as the veggie platter, which comes with very fresh tabouli salad, smooth creamy hummus, lightly fried falafel, and a large portion of lentil rice. All of this is only six bucks. It's refreshing to have such a flavorful vegetarian meal for so cheap. They also serve lamb, chicken, and beef gyros or platters with tabouli and hummus. \n\nThe restaurant has a nice outdoor patio that is right next to a huge pond with geese and ducks walking along the shore. So you can get a little nature show while you have a bite to eat. \n\nOh yeah, and they have a nice beer selection.",
"I come here once a week for lunch since I work on Maryland Farms. I believe that this is the brother store of the Med Cuisine on 21st, but that's about where the comparison ends. The one on 21st...boring. This location, awesome!\n\nThe owners are Egyptian (I think) and are super friendly. I always get the lamb gyro plate and sub tabouleh for the salad. I'm sure their salad is fine but damn that is some awesome tabouleh. The platter has hummus, warm pita, amazing rice pilaf, tons of gyro meat and roasted onions and tomatoes if you ask for them. The portions are hefty so I split with my bf...but I've polished off many a plate solo as well. I've tried their falafel which is ok (not as good as Kalamata's) and they have some really delicious looking salads for the veg heads. The chicken gyro is good too, but the lamb is where it's at.\n\nI like to sit outside and toss pita scraps to the geese that hang out by the pond next door (no worries you are separated by a fence). They also have beer and a tv inside, though every time I've been there it is some Egyptian Idol show or a soccer match. Great food, awesome portions, light on your wallet, and very friendly employees. If you work nearby you owe it to yourself to stop in for a bite!",
"The hunt for the best falafels may have just ended with the falafel platter at Mediterranean Cuisine. As a vegetarian, one of my favorite meals is a falafel platter, which usually includes rice, salad, hummus, and pita. This platter was no different, but what this one did better than any dish that I have had was the grilled onions and tomatoes on top of the falafels and rice. The falafels were good, not great, the best falafels in my mind goes to Sam's Kabob Gyros, which is just down the street. But the entire combination of rice, grilled veggies, falafels, hummus, pita, and salad was top notch.The meal was excellent and it was $7.99, which to me is a great bargain.\n\nAside from falafels, I normally judge a middle eastern style restaurant by their hummus and pita bread. Their bread tasted more like greek pita bread, which is used for gyros. It is not the right combination with a good hummus and does not compare to other restaurants, which are more like traditional pita bread. (The best pita is from Tarboush in Murfreesboro. It is homemade and still piping hot and filled with air from being fresh out of the oven.)",
"This place simply has great food. I come here often after church because it is close. The price is right and the service is friendly. The combos are pretty good...",
"Good, authentic restaurant that may not be instantly obvious. \n\nThe hummus is great. Great gyros, large servings. You can really taste the freshness in everything.",
"We walked in 10 minutes before closing, and got treated like royalty! Welcoming, casual environment. Counter orders, but they delivered everything to our table. \n\nIce cold mugs of beer, fresh warm pita, great hummus and falafel. \n\nCan't wait to go back!",
"We have been eating at Mediterranean Cuisine for about 9 years - we usually visit about 2 times per month. We have found that it really is the best middle eastern food in the Nashville area. The food is very reasonably priced - most items are under 10.00 and the most expensive item, a platter of food for two people is about 13.00. The portions are very good sized for the cost. And all the food is made in house, the stuffed grape leaves are awesome and the falafels are great as well. The location is somewhat off the beaten path, they are located in Maryland Farms off of Ward Circle. They have a nice outdoor seating area - weather permitting, and ample indoor seating. The are open 7 days per week and the owner is very nice and will make sure everything is to your liking.",
"This is our go to place for Friday night takeout. Their tabouli is the best in town, easily. Always tastes fresh, even when I order late on a Friday. Their lamb gyro platter is fantastic and their Greek salad is very tasty. We eat there at least 4 times a month and we love it.",
"Good Falafel sandwiches. And I love their Lentil rice. very subtly spiced and you can add caramelized onions and mushrooms on it if you want to. The staff always gives me extra sauce and it is v tasty... This is a nice place to go to for a quick lunch though it does gets crowded on some days... I have never tried their platters but one of my colleague just loves their lamb and veggie platters."

"Fresh and traditional Mexican food. We loved the service. Definitely going back! Many options for vegetarians.",
"I had the Pollo Fundido and the Queso with my chips. \nLoved everything!\nI'm so happy to have another Mexican Restaurant in this building!\nSome of the same personnel as La Hacienda, and some of the same delicious choices as they has. \nThe Soft Chicken Tacos are supposed to be the same. \nI thought the Pollo (Chicken) Fundido was better!",
"I had the Pollo Fundido and the Queso with my chips. \nLoved everything!\nI'm so happy to have another Mexican Restaurant in this building!\nSome of the same personnel as La Hacienda, and some of the same delicious choices that they had. \nThe Soft Chicken Tacos are supposed to be the same as before (my friend verified this, that was their absolute favorite taco anywhere). \nI thought the Pollo (Chicken) Fundido was better!",
"We love this place! The improvements that have been made make you want to come in. The food makes you want to come back again and again. The service is friendly and attentive. The food is, well, it's soooooooooo good! Everything is well-seasoned, fresh, and flavorful. Portions are generous. This isn't the same restaurant as before but with a different name--Los Cuates is a high quality Mexican restaurant. I think I'll have to stop by there again tonight.",
"The salsa was delicious the food was superb. Outstanding service. This place is definitely a place we will visit often",
"Spicy, fresh Mexican cuisine at this casual restaurant is what you can expect. All of the veggies were crisp and sautéed well with the traditional Latin style flattened chicken.\n\nThe cheese sauce had just the right amount of spice and flavor for me and I could definitely get a taste of each veggie. There are veggie options with all of the platters. \n\nThe banana dessert was a little weird. I was confused if it was supposed to be frozen then fried, or just warm, not sure. Mine were frozen solid.\n\nEverything was clean and bright with the rounded windows. I know this place has been different restaurants, but the windows make it very light, which I personally love.\n\nMy server was super friendly and attentive. Overall good casual dining experience.",
"Great food and even better service. I love the openness of the restaurant and appreciate their margaritas. Their street tacos with house made salsa is fantastic!",
"This was an amazing Mexican restaurant! The food was very fresh and service was great!!",
"We lived in CA for 11 years and had some amazing Mexican food out there. After moving back to Indiana 3 years ago, we found some okay places but nothing as good as in CA. Then we moved to the Irvington neighborhood and found this place. It is AMAZING! I had the carnitas chimichanga and cannot believe how amazing the carnitas were. This will definitely be our go-to Mexican restaurant from now on!!",
"Very pleased with our meals- I got a combo and my husband got flautas. The salsa is good. The veggies on my plate seemed fresh and in season. The service was good. I wouldn't say it's a new favorite- but we weren't disappointed, which is much more than we can say for most of the other Mexican places we've tried in Indianapolis. If we were in the area again we would probably go back."

"A very new restaurant that hasn't quite been \"discovered\" yet. Everything is shiny and new. The decor is similar to their location on College Avenue, but everything is brand new, and a bit more elegant/upscale. Very well thought-out and planned decor.\n\nThere is a main dining area, and a large room off to one side for a large party, plus a few small rooms for 6 to 8 people. I think there is a bar area behind the sushi bar, but I forgot to go look.\n\nThe wide bench-type seating for many of the tables (but not all) is the same as their College Ave location. This type of seating gives sort of the look/feel of traditional floor seating, and is not out of place, and made me think it's a nice fusion of East/West.\n\nThere is more room between tables than the College Ave location.\n\nThe sushi chefs behind the sushi bar all looked Asian, with a mostly-Caucasian wait staff, same as College Ave.\n\nI had the chirashi, which is sashimi served over a bed of sushi rice. It was excellent. The other places where I've had this, they pretty much throw the sashimi on top, but here it was crafted into an elegant presentation. The sashimi was noticeably fresh and had a very smooth consistency. The rice was perfectly sticky the way Asian rice is supposed to be, not westernized, for eating with chopsticks.\n\nThey were over-staffed in relation to the number of customers. So if you are going to check this place out, go before it gets discovered or before they reduce the staffing to match the level of business. But it's very new, so let's hope word gets out and business picks up.\n\nThe menu consists of three cuisines: Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. The menu items seem the same as the College Ave location, but the printed menu is slightly different.\n\nThey don't have the breadth of dishes that you would see in a one-cuisine restaurant, but they seem to have the most popular of Japanese and Korean dishes. Chinese dishes seem to get the short shrift though. This restaurant definitely deserves the \"pan-Asian\" label.\n\nThis restaurant really impressed me more than the College Ave location. This is definitely impress-the-boss/wife/inlaws/girlfriend worthy. To be this good so soon after opening leads me to believe that the owners/operators are pros in the restaurant biz.",
"Went for a business lunch, casual, and immediately noted a number of Asian customers indicating it was probably going to be good food. Menu had Korean, Thao, and sushi. The sushi was excellent particularly the spicy rolls the Mafia and the Playboy, which is served flaming. The standard sushi and sashimi was very good quality but cannot differentiate it from other good sushi eateries. \n\nTough to locate as they have poor visibilityand lack of signage from 96th street. Highly recommended.",
"I visited this location last night. Now, I really love the one in Broad Ripple and I was prepared to be equally impressed. Well....I wasn't.\n\nI gave this location three stars because of the food. As usual it was good, when I finally got it.\n\nThis location is basically in a strip mall and when you walk in there is a lot of open space. It had a warehouse feel for me. I could ear echos of conversation as I sat at the bar.\n\nNow the bartender was nice but extremely frazzled. She continued to talk about how \"slammed\" they had been earlier. The bar can not be described as \"fully stocked\" I overheard a guy at the bar ask for regular Smirnoff and he was informed that they only carry flavored Smirnoff. WHAT????!! There were two taps of the beer that were not working and apparently had not been working since Wednesday.\n\nI ordered miso soup and the lovely lovely playboy roll. This is my standard at the Broad Ripple location. Well it took about 30 minutes to get the soup and almost an hour to get the sushi. Again, WHAT???!!! The bartender in my opinion forgot to put my order in. \n\nI was just very unimpressed. Will I go again? I probably will.\n\nI just hope that my next experience is a lot better.",
"One of my favorite places to go in Broad Ripple. Since they expanded, has made the restaurant much better. Food is always delicious, but the bar side atmosphere is a great addition.\nCan't beat the Playboy Roll or Crunch Munch.",
"Usually super trendy Asian places are ones that I tend to dislike. I visited NT on a Friday night on a date. I thought that the busy restaurant might mean great food, good service and a good dining experience. The hostess was hopelessly disorganized, which I was totally willing to over look. Eventually we decided to sit at the bar because we were starving. I watched the Sushi chefs using a LOT of pre-made rolls, which is a big no-no for most sushi fans. The service was awful. I ordered a few pieces of maguro nigiri, which was good but much smaller pieces than normal. I also ordered Miso and an order of steamed pot stickers. The miso was not good, it was way too concentrated, and was like eating a salt lick. The pot stickers tasted rancid, and my date's sushi did not make him happy. I think Naked Tchopstix suffers from the same problem most \"chique\" sushi places do- they create an image and pull in lots of pseudo hipsters who don't know better, and serve an inferior product. People are paying for the \"cool\" atmosphere- definitely not the food. Skip this place and find some fresh sushi!",
"Superb sushi, excellent décor, outstanding service! Better than BR location I think. Our son wanted ranch for his chicken skewers... The waiter ran next door to a pizza place to get some for him. I really like this place!!! Not sure what is up with the other reviews as our experience was very good. Oh yeah, the playboy roll is amazing.",
"As per the Broad Ripple branch: \n\n I'm not a huge fan of the decor- sort of amateur attempt at hipster Asian, but the food is so great that I could not care less about what it looks like. I've been 4 or 5 times and the service has always been especially friendly and prompt. The wait staff is full of hipsters who are laid back but attentive. \n Though I haven't eaten my way through the menu, my family has, and everything's been good so far. I always order the Playboy Roll- spicy tuna, spicy mayo, tempura shrimp and asparagus- then lit on fire. It's so good I can't help but get it every time I go. Having the full bar is great too.\n\nI completely recommend it.",
"Just visiting Indianapolis, and so far this is my favorite place! (Been to like three places so far, to be fair). Went with a group of friends, my girlfriend and I split the Sushi combo C - Spicy tuna roll and several nigiri rolls, as well as an avocado roll. It was the perfect amount of food for two people, and we were full, but we still would've appreciated soup and salad like you get at many other sushi places for ordering sushi.\n\nMy friend got the infamous playboy roll, which was really awesome in both display and taste (of course I tried some). Overall I was very pleased by the food. Apparently the decor of the College street location is better, judging from the reviews, but nothing here was so horrible as to distract. It isn't super fancy or anything, but for a leisurely dinner with friends, the scene is just fine.\n\nLast note: I think I normally am not a huge fan of nigiri because it is too fishy, but as Drew H. notes, it isn't too fishy here. Just right. And the chopsticks, or tchopstix are nice plastic ones, not the wood ones that leave wooden strands in your mouth.",
"I want to like this restaurant and its Broad Ripple sister. I love Asian food. But I will never visit there again.\n\nLast night was the first time we visited the 96th street location after 3 or 4 mediocre experiences in Broad Ripple. The food is always decent in an upscale-food-court kind of way, but with better atmosphere.\n\nBut what happened at 96th street is something that should never happen to any diner. \n\nI ordered the Bibimbap, which came without the promised spicy pepper sauce. When I asked the server, she said, \"oh, that only comes with the (pricier) Dolsot Bibimbap,\" a seemingly identical dish that comes in a hot stone dish for $3 more. \"But I'll get you one anyway\", she said, as if to do me a big favor. I checked the menu and it comes with both versions, in fact the dish would not have made any sense without it. A minor thing, but annoying because the server--instead of checking--made me to feel like I was asking for something extra instead of what I had chosen.\n\nMy companion ordered the Spicy Seafood dish. Wandering around in the liquid and mixed in with the food were bits of mussel shell that she continued to unpleasantly encounter. Towards the end of the meal she informed the server that she couldn't finish her food because of all the shell particles, and asked her to tell the manager. \n\nWe both thought that an adjustment was in order, any intelligent establishment would provide a coupon or discount in this situation.\n\nThe server returned with the check. No adjustment, no apology, no nothing. We asked if she'd talked to the manager. She said that he said \"sometimes this happens with shellfish\". No apology, still. \n\nI said, somewhat loudly, \"When your customers are unhappy, you should do something!\". She walked away in silence.\n\nWe were dumbfounded. They allowed us to leave angry, without any apology or incentive to return The manager never appeared.\n\nWe will never be back. And frankly, this experience motivated me to join Yelp, something I have been meaning to do for a long time. \n\nPeople need to know before dropping their hard earned $ that this restaurant doesn't give a crap about its patrons.",
"We decided to take a break from car shopping, and Tchopsticks is conveniently located for this purpose. We walked in based on its relative charm compared to the other restaurants in this strip mall. The inside was cute, clean, and modern. Service was friendly and fast, and they had a large range of choices for lunch specials, which were all reasonably priced.\n\nUnfortunately, the food was not very good. My mom got some sweet and sour chicken, which was similar to something you might find at Panda Express. I ordered some sushi. Instead of pieces of meat in my spicy tuna roll, the tuna appeared to be pureed, which was kind of unappetizing. Also, it wasn't spicy at all. We did clean our plates, so it wasn't disgusting or anything, but it wasn't particularly good either. I don't think I'll be back."

"I cannot describe how much I love this place! I have literally driven around for miles looking for a taco truck to satisfy my street taco craving. Don't get me wrong- they've been good, but I've always had to fork out $8 for 2 tacos and rice and beans that I didn't want. \n\nNot the case here! In this taco Mecca restaurant, you can order as many tacos as you want for $2!! (A few are $2.5) And beans are available in the sides menu. Breakfast tacos are served all day! Churros are delicious! Perfect balance of meats, seasoning, veggies, and heaven. Check out pictures for full mouth watering anticipation. \n\nBeer will be available this week! Big screen TV!",
"This place is amazing. Everything tastes so fresh. I got the shrimp and fish tacos. But everything looked great.",
"I was excited to try TRT since I noticed its construction. I love tacos, burritos, and other Mexican food and eat it nearly every day. I rate this place mediocre at best. My order was messed up. I had fried chicken taco, fish taco, brisket taco, pulled pork taco (that I didn't order), and chips and salsa. All were just OK. Hopefully it's just growing pain and they improve with time (which I will be giving it before I return).",
"I just tried this place for lunch the staff is very friendly an the atmosphere was pleasant,service was very quick I'm not a fan of corn tortilla I would have like too had flour tortilla instead. The food has good flavor to it the only thing is the taco are way too small (I could of eaten a half dozen easy) if I had not order the chips an salsa I would have left hungry. The prices could be a little better the only thing on the menu over 4 dollars is the beer. So if you would like a quick small bite too eat give them a try, it is good fresh food enjoy.",
"They serve great tacos. Chips and guacamole excellent. Friendly staff. Fantastic food and fast. We will be coming back",
"I've tried Tin Roof a couple of times now for lunch. First, the staff is very friendly and helpful. That's a great start. The space itself is big inside, with plenty of space outside for when it warms up, overall a ice relaxed atmosphere.\nFor me the tacos have been hit or miss. So far I can recommend the Tin Roof and the brisket taco. That said, my recommendation is that these are the best tacos at Tin Roof. The pulled pork taco is ok. Finally, I cannot recommend the fish taco ( quite dry) or the taco with ground beef and potato.\n\nAs mentioned in other reviews these tacos aren't big, and that's ok, I just wish they had bigger flavor. I don't claim to be a taco connoisseur but in my Tin Roof experience the taste, and in one case the texture, of the filling is completely lost to the tortilla. I suppose when I first saw the tacos I was hoping for a meaty little flavor bomb. That didn't happen.\n\nOne spot that did shine for me was their chips and salsa. Chips come out warm and their red salsa is great, so is the green for that matter.\n\nAnyway, I'm excited to have this fun new place in town and I hope that as they gain some experience and work out the kinks of opening they'll be able refine the flavors a bit. I plan on giving them another try, and look forward to trying a breakfast taco (sounds fun!)",
"Delicious tacos, friendly service, and fair prices. What more could you ask for. Oh yea, a free Koozie with your beer. Now, get off your butt and get a \"Tin Roof\" a \"Fried Chicken\", and a \"Grilled Fish\". You can thank me later.",
"I ended up there for lunch today since Zupa's next door had a long line. When I walked in, there were several people who where congregated at the front door and I couldn't tell if they were in line or not. I stood there waiting until someone told me they were just \"talking\". I checked out the menu and was quickly disappointed in the options. I understand the simplicity needed on the menu to keep things simple and fast but the combinations were lack luster. I ended up getting two Tin Roof tacos to go. Like the other reviewers I was disappointed in the \"size\" of the taco. I fully appreciate the desire to provide fresh ingredients that affect the cost of things, but I was still disappointed. There was too much onion paired with canned pineapple and it was dry and not very flavorful. I did add some sauces that were given to me which still didn't improve the experience. \nI also observed the staff was dealing with some missed orders and having to make things right for customers. It is a new business and I understand that it's a process to iron thing out to get the business rhythm going. I will say I am not a big fan of dining in at a fast food places and this venue is no exception. I didn't find it inviting. If what another reviewer said is true that they will be bringing a TV into the place then I definitely won't be dining in. Too many places have TV's in their business and if I want to watch tv while I eat I will eat at home. \n\nI will give it another try in few months and hopefully things will improve.",
"This place is brand new but definitely hit the ground running!\nThe freshly made tortillas (which you can watch be made through a glass panel right in front of you) combined with some wonderful ingredients and creative combinations make this a wonderful too shack! The modular menu invites you to be creative and try multiple charities instead of just the regular two same taco and drink combo! They also have beer which is wonderful and definitely comes in handy if you're a heat seeker and try their habanero salsa! Been here twice and have enjoyed it thoroughly both times!\n-cheers",
"OMG. So delicious! This area off Broadway w Zupas and now Tin Roof is going to be THE place to go for anyone that wants quick healthy food. \n\nI had #2 Tin Roof Taco, #6 Brisket Taco, #13 Fish Taco, and Steak/Egg/Cheese Taco. All of them were great. My fave was Brisket. \n\nThe flavor was definitely fresh tasting. Meat was tender. Prices are very reasonable. I WILL be back guaranteed. I just hope the word gets out and Boise skips the fast food places so small businesses like this can have success."

"This is a place I like to take people who've never made the trek to this side of town. It's a great old building with old Coca-Cola ads painted on the building from waaaay back when.... It's a destination spot in that there really isn't anything else out here. \n\nA bit of a biker bar, it's got a good deal of beer and live music most nights. The bar stools all have their legs decorated as if they were human. You know, some wear jeans, some have skirts.... etc. The bar has an interesting collection of ash trays and I believe if you can WOW the staff with a new, eclectic additon to their collection, you'll get a free beer for it.\n\nWhat I come up here most for though is the FRIED PICKLES. They serve it with a spicy thousand island-like dressing and the pickles are soooooooooo gooood. Now that I live in NYC, I dream about these pickles. The sandwiches are big and hearty and I've had a couple decent brunches here too. BUT EAT THE PICKLES. yum!!",
"My relationship with the Rivershack began with deception: The outside of the building has a bunch of old \"Grocery\" signs, so we stopped in looking for a few groceries on our bike ride. Turns out it is strictly a bar/restaurant. We came back another time (without the false pretenses) and had a good time. The burgers are pretty good but I'm sorry, I won't write a poem about them. They have \"funky\" decor, which includes the odd crap on the walls as well as bar stools which resemble human legs so that when you are sitting on them it appears as if you are are standing and have the legs of a plumber! What fun, I know. Anyway, if you are biking on the riverpath it's worth a stop in. If anything it's a place to earn back some of those calories you wasted by biking. Prices are OK, about 10-ish american dollars for the burgers.\n\nFor what it is, I award 3.3 stars to the rivershack.",
"The Rivershack was indeed a grocery once upon a time, maybe in the 1940s. But it's always been a bar in my lifetime. It's a solid neighborhood bar with decent food (expanded beyond the typical bar menu). They only get 3 stars because the decor is too self-conscious, with it's ashtray collection and funky barstools. They just need to take a deep breath.",
"I'm a big fan. The draft beer selection is good and the beer is served cold. The locations is great, right across from the Mississippi River levee bike path. They also have a nice outdoor area to eat. The clientele is nicely mixed and very casual. You can always find a contingent from the nearby Ochsner hospital. \n\nIt gets four stars for the great food. Every sandwich I have tried is good. Last night I had an 'ANITA FLICKS' - roast beef, pastrami, Swiss cheese, a dash of horseradish and Creole mustard on toasted rye. Mmmmm good! The fries were a little undercooked. A great touch is the homemade spicy mayonnaise on each table. Love it. \n\nThey have live music on Th/Fr/Sa nights. The book a nice variety of bands and the place is large with tall ceiling, making it good for music.",
"love this place... love the buffalo oysters.... yup, just like buffalo wings... a different owner from the original, but still a stand up nola joint. right near the bike path, and the sandwiches are all excellent, the bloody mary's too. \n\nfun and funky, lots of old timey decor, mixed with odd nola art, strange seats at the bar, but very unique, which gives this place a very \"different\" feel to it. poker machines, food, drinks, and live music...\n\nwhen out at the airport? we usually stop at this hot spot... YUM",
"I had the catfish poboy and my friend had a hamburger. We shared buffalo shrimp. Food was yummy. My friend loved her hamburger. Beer was cold. I'd go here again, but wouldn't make a special trip.",
"Monday night's abitas, beans and blues is hard to beat. \n\n$2 ice-cold draft Abita, around $8.75 for a heaping platter of red beans and a baby's arm of grilled sausage, and free entertainment by a fairly talented female blues musician who gets progressively drunker as the night wears on.",
"This place is great. Not the place to go if you're trying to lose a few pounds, but a great place to go get some great food and listen to music.\n\nThey have live music here several nights a week. Abita, beans and blues on Monday night is excellent: red beans and rice and live blues music can't be beat. They also have live music on weekend nights.\n\nThe food is great across the board, although like I mentioned earlier, not really on the lighter side. Fried pickles, fried green tomatos, sweet potato fries, all good starters, especially with their special \"shack sauce\" to dip them in. For main courses they have good burgers and po boys, as well as a chicken sandwich that's fried and loaded with cheese and bacon. Delicious.\n\nThis place is a little out of the way, right across from the levee just west of Causeway, but hey, the hard to find places are the best anyway!",
"Incredible food. Great neighborhood bar atmosphere. Expect to pack on the pounds, but the food is worth tipping the scales.",
"Good bar with equally good food and cold beer. Funny barstools too! \n\nWhen crawfish season rolls around, this is where you need to go. You get a huge platter of crawfish, while they last, for an inexpensive price. And boy oh boy are they good! They also have really great fried pickles! Yum! \n\ni have never been here really late, but the place is usually really busy. And it seems to be a regular occurrence to have a live band. If you are driving down Rive Road, stop in for some hot fried pickles and a cold beer!"

"Love it!!! A great new addition to the area. Good menu with appetizers, sandwiches and entrees. Great food!!! Modern bar area with strong beer selection and lots of TV's.",
"We saw the opening signs and were excited to stop in and try something new. The bar area is decorated very nicely with large TVs and there is also a more private area to eat as well. We saw people we knew from the area and it was quite crowded despite being a holiday weekend. My husband had the spinach salad with warm bacon dressing and he said it was great. It looked a little small, but they had options to add chicken, etc...I had the wings which were smaller in size which I like with just the right heat and a touch of garlic. They were excellent. Our server, Aaron, was very friendly and knowledgeable. The owner came over to our table to introduce himself as well. We love going to local businesses and this one is going to be very successful. The menu is quite varied, yet reasonably priced. We are looking forward to going back.",
"So happy to hear there is a decent pub close by. The owners are the previous owners of Bowman's Tavern and they know their food and foodies. Our pub mistress is Megan and she is fantastic, as we as the hostess Vickie.\nTry the fried chicken...Great.\nHad a great dinner with friends who loved it.\nKeep it going guys.\n\nTerry and Tony...New Hope",
"We had lunch here last week and the food is fantastic!! Everything is so fresh and made from scratch....our hostess Vicki is great very personable! We will be back for dinner next time!!",
"Second time visiting for lunch and both times very happy with meal. Fresh, tasty and high quality ingredients. Great atmosphere too. Will be back.",
"I have been here for lunch with the kids, for dinner with the kids and dinner with just adults. Each time the food has been very good. The Reuben sandwich is excellent. The wedge salad with a petite filet ($22) was very good. Veggie Burger was home/hand made and great. Had a different server each time, but all were great. The atmosphere in the bar area is very loud in the evenings but it's a pub and that is to be expected, I think. There is a small separate dining room for those with little kids or people that don't want to deal with the noise of the pub. Overall, we like it here very much and will be back often.",
"Go for the Food, Stay for the Staff!\n\nThe food is good (though I'm medically-gluten free so there's a lot I can't have) but Megan and Vickie--and, honestly, the lunch crowd at the bar--is what will keep you coming back. \n\nHard Cider at the bar (Gluten Free!) and plugs (emergency charging!) and free wifi! Heck, I could sit here and write and drink and eat... ALL DAY LONG!\n\nNow you know where to find me.\n\nStrongbow Cider on draft would make it perfect.\n\n(plus, loving the music mix today.)\n\nBar is VERY LOUD when full. Pleasant hum at lunch. There is another family-friendly / quieter room to the left, so don't let noise be a choice factor. Call if you're bringing a group of 6 or more and see what they say. Normally no reservations.",
"After reading such great reviews, my husband and I had lunch at the Square One Pub today. The food was fresh and delicious. We had the baked brie and pork empenadas for appetizers. My husband had the square one burger and I had the square one salad and chili. We also had the chocolate layer cake, which we were too full to finish and brought home. The menu has so many items to choose from that it was tough to decide what to have. We will definitely return. The hostess and server were very friendly and welcoming. I can't wait to go back!!!",
"Been waiting for over a year for this place to open and it took me almost as long to get there, but I am so glad I did. Met a friend for lunch here the week before Christmas. Frazzled, busy and happy..... you know how it is. \n\nThe bar was lively but there was also a dedicated casual Dining room for the ladies who lunch crowd( that's me) and was I happy to sink into a comfy booth and look over a lunch menu of classic and quite classy pub grub. I had the roast beef dip sandwich ( with horseradish sauce, of course) and there was no problem substituting a very generous fresh green salad for the french fries. I passed on the home made desserts, but had a cup of coffee. The coffee was great, so I bet the desserts are too. Next time :-)\n\n Vikki, the hostess could not have been friendlier or more helpful, and the wait staff was terrific too. It was a rainy day outside, but the cozy atmosphere and warm comfort food recharged my Holiday batteries big-time. I'll definitely be back, and not just for lunch.",
"Wonderful to have a great pub in New Hope. The food is outstanding, the atmosphere just what you'd expect for a pub (plus there's a quiet, to the side, dining room) and the staff is friendly and very helpful. All the food is great, but the macaroni salad is to die for :)"

"This review is for the bar side of the restaurant:\n\nFirst, COME ON TUESDAY. Half priced appetizers, including the delicious RBar burger. Grab a table at the bar, order a cocktail (discounted because it's Tuesday), and order an RBar burger. Ask for a side of BBQ butter and drizzle it on your RBar burger. Delicious.\n\nFriendly service, classy atmosphere, complimentary bread, great cocktails, and the creme brulee dessert with fresh berries was a great way to enjoy a night out.",
"Seriously, hands down...best Ruth's Chis in the country. After all, it's the biggest Ruth's Chris in the nation to begin with. It's so nice and modern, not your typical stuffy steakhouse. However, the decor still has lots of brown tones to it as well as the infamous leather booth so it still somewhat reminds you that it's a steakhouse.\n\nConvenience factor of this place is pretty good. Valet parking is available. Plenty of lot parking. They have an elevator for their second floor. Bar is right behind the hostess stand. Awesome outside space. \n\nAs for service, it's just excellent overall. The managers have been there for years. Super prompt service. Very friendly and knowledgable about the food and drinks. \n\nTheir lemon drop martini is amazing!!! Must try. Delish! \n\nMy favorite is their ribeye. I like my steak marbled. My hubby likes his all meat and no fat so he typically gets a filet. Ruth'sChris seriously have the best steaks n town. They say it's the sizzle. They say it's the butter. Whatever it is, I can't go to other steakhouses anymore. Ruth's Chris pretty much ruined it for me because really do have the best in town.",
"We were delighted to have a new option in our neighborhood, especially since we are happy carnivores.....(we are not at the top of the food chain for nothing). We waited a respectable amount of time after the grand opening for the little issues to be worked out before visiting this new location. After being told that this is the largest unit in the chain, we walked stairwells and hallways and corridors, through rooms and bars and lounges, to a table right in front of the door to the kitchen. With as much space as this restaurant occupies, for the designers to position a table before a constantly swinging door to a noisy, brightly lit kitchen without the slightest regard for the diners who would have to sit there and be assaulted all evening by a rushing parade of servers and bussers and trays of dirty dishes and shouting and smells and noise and lights....these people should be sentenced to sit in their own restaurant, and a sentence it felt like. The rest of the décor was fairly drab with a dated feel, odd for a newly constructed \"flagship\".\n\nOur server was chipper and casual, rather than unobtrusive and helpful. We were there to enjoy the company of our group, rather than to make a new friend, but we were really left with no choice. The enthusiasm of youth might be trained better.\n\nOur steaks, two of the four ordered especially, were fatty, chewy, and salty. For more than five hundred dollars for our party of four we expected better. Good at least, if not the best.\nThe side dishes are average renditions of steak house classics, nothing special, neither bad nor good. Restaurants are not all about the food, there is so much more to the experience. But this place bills itself as \"The Best\". It is, most decidedly, not.\n\nThere is a respectable wine list, with some very good selections at proper prices.\n\nIf this restaurant is going to overcome its reputation as an overpriced expense account hangout to entertain out of town clients, it is going to have to step up its game. \n\nUnfortunately for Ruth's Chris, within a very short distance there are many MUCH better restaurants, much better steaks and ambiance and service, much better in every way. I think Indianapolis is savvy and sophisticated enough to figure that out.\n\nWe were really hoping for a great evening at a new place, but no. Try Ocean Prime, or Flemings, or Sullivan's, or Harry & Izzy's or Provision or.....well you get the picture.\nNot worth the trouble here.\n\nOn our way out we decided to stop at the bar for a drink, a nightcap if you will. to chat some more with our group before leaving. The bar was crowded, lively, noisy. Filled with not quite young women who should know better and circling groups of men...it felt as if we had wandered into a singles bar sketch from Saturday Night Live but with better lighting. This is clearly where the chain makes a great deal of its profit, drinks and bottles and cocktails and wine and beer. It was an amusing end to our evening. Creepy but amusing.",
"Nothing spectacular....people nice enough....servers were efficient but perhaps a bit undertrained (did not know what \"neat\" was)....wine selection was blah....\n\nFood....steaks were just o.k.....I think better choices just down the road and in Fishers (Petersons). I found my steak (NY Strip) to be surprisingly not very tender...not a heck of a lot of flavor...and too salty. Others at the table were not overwhelmed with their steaks and also commented they preferred other places nearby as well. Sides were again....just o.k....certainly not worth the investment. Some potatoey cheesy concoction was just a pool of grease it seemed. Salads not incredibly fresh as one might hope for. No fresh ground pepper offered...no big deal...but ??\n\nI personally don't care for the atmosphere of the downstairs bar....much like Lulu's used to be...sort of a group of not particularly sophisticated folks hell bent on impressing each other with their wealth and lofty social status. People were really LOUD ! \n\nThe decor did not take any chances....pleasant enough...just nothing spectacular...but maybe that is a good thing when the decor does not offend or impress ??\n\nFront staff were, professional, friendly and playful...graciously putting up with our snarky attempts at mostly juvenile humor.\n\nUnlike other restaurants of late....OUR TABLE WAS ACTUALLY READY !! Nice that RC is apparently not overbooking...although our names should be very familiar to their computers.\n\nParking....EASY !\n\nOf course we will go back again...as nothing was offensive...and I hope that their menu is expanded a bit....with more choices and more interesting items.",
"My family chose to go here to celebrate my Dad's 60th birthday. We had not eaten at Ruth's Chris in over 5 years, and we were excited to give the new location a try. Overall, the experience wasn't very memorable. I will start off by saying the service was excellent, and our waiter Sean was at our table practically the moment we sat down full of suggestions and very attentive throughout the meal. Our cocktails were great...I ordered a Moscow Mule and it came in the proper bronze mug which was cute! Really the only issue is the food quality...the steaks were both not cooked to the proper degree that both my mom and sister had requested. This resulted in my mom and sister both switching their steaks from each other's plates twice because the steak seemed to be cooked differently on each side. I ordered the Crab Cakes and, while they were tasty and had delicious lumpy crab meat, it seemed they were sitting in a pool of butter which was somewhat unappetizing. The meal had a pleasant ending with delicious dessert and great conversation while finishing a nice bottle of Plumpjack. If this new location of Ruth's Chris is able to step their game up and perfect their cooking methods and dish presentation, I do believe they will be up to par with the status the restaurant had in Indianapolis a few years ago.",
"Wow! Amazing space, sat outdoors on a bricked patio featuring fire pit tables and TV's...very warm and inviting. We did not have dinner here, just drinks but the place was packed full of interesting people. Fun! I also heard they have a nice happy hour special on Tuesdays nights with select food discounts...I will be back.",
"Best steak I've ever had, but an extremely expensive restaurant. The kind where you have to be careful to ask for ice water, or they will bring you bottled water & charge you a ton for it.",
"The food was great and so was the service. It was extremely loud though. It was honestly overwhelming due to the noise and the menu was not very clear. The selection for dinner doesn't have much variety. The sides are served \"family style\" and are not refilled when finished which for the price isn't worth it at all. Not exactly what I expected but it was just okay in my opinion.",
"The steaks are probably the best in town. The sides are good, but not the best. I was disappointed with the mushrooms. They were undercooked and had very little flavor. The service here is average for a restaurant, but definitely under for what I would expect at a steakhouse at this price point. I have recently been to Seasons 52 and Harry and Izzy's and both of those places were stellar. This just did not measure up. It took a while for someone to come to the table, forever to put in our order, and we were not checked on that often. \n\nThis has happened before and if the restaurant is reading, PLEASE do something about this. When someone orders a beer and it is the end of the keg, come back to our table to get our order instead of waiting until the keg is changed. We waited nearly 15 minutes to put in our food order.",
"There are a lot of good steakhouses within a mile from Keystone at the Crossing, but Ruth's Chris may just take the crown.\n\nSteak is all USDA prime of course and served a sizzling plate to keep it warm throughout your meal. My chateaubriand was a perfect medium rare, sliced on the bias, served on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes and accompanied by a delicious mushroom sauce.\n\nExcellent food aside, what puts Ruth's Chris ahead of the other steakhouse contenders is the space itself.\n\nThe new location is killer.\n\nHoused in the brand spanking new IronWorks building, it has the prime location in the middle.\n\nThe restaurant is huge. There are 2 floors with dining areas and bars on both levels. The first floor has a sweet outdoor dining area while the 2nd floor has cool views.\n\nService is impeccable. Exactly what you expect (and pay for) when you go to a high-end restaurant.\n\nA neat 21st century touch is the drink and wine list that is on a tablet (an iPad I think). I don't know why more places don't do this (and not just for the drink menu; so many places change their entrees monthly/weekly/daily they should use it for their regular menu as well)."

"I had dinner here on Saturday night with my wife, sister and brother-in-law. The food is decent and the staff are friendly and funny. We asked to split the check at the end of the meal and the waiter literally ripped the ticket in half.\n\nThe restaurant is rather small and appears to have been a pizza hut in a past life. There is a decent offering of imported beers for $2.50 and margaritas. We shared a pitcher of margaritas which were fairly good. \n\nI ordered the shrimp chimichanga. The shrimp were grilled and tasted pretty good. The size of the chimichanga left me wanting however, it was a small tube with maybe six decent sized shrimp inside.\n\nI would eat at El Indio again even if it was just for the servers.",
"I stumbled upon this place a couple years ago when I moved to Glendale. At first glance driving by I said no way because of the looks (I think it's an old pizza hut) but after I tried their food - I'm hooked. Haven't had any better mexican in STL and I've tried most of them. AWESOME, authentic, quick and fairly reasonable....blows away Hacienda, which is right down the street. The ambiance is not the best (compared to Haci) but the food is. \n\nI tend to stick the same thing at a restaurant if it's really good and I found the fajitas mexicanas to be incredible....get them every time. Give them a shot if you enjoy mexican.",
"Eh? This place is okay, I guess. It absolutely used to be a pizza hut, though, so the minute I stepped inside I felt a little strange (although it's decorated nicer than a pizza hut). The food is okay- typical American-Mexican; everything is heavy and covered in cheese. If you're into that, you'll like this place. I'd rather go somewhere more authentic.",
"A solid two stars. Nothing special. We only went there because Nacho Mama's was closed (it was Sunday afternoon). Wasn't horrible, but there's probably other places that are worth your time and money. \n\nMediocre at best.",
"Two words, ho hum. Seriously, it was just ok. I came here for lunch today with my sister, my brother & my mom. I ordered the taquitos lunch special, & the amount of food was about right. The taquitos tasted ok. They had the same taste as the taquitos I've had at other Mexican places. The guacamole was a tad bit spicy for me. My sister & my mom's food came out ok, but the amount was large. They could eat only about half of their food. My mom complained about the lack of salsa on her food. The salsa was very fresh & delish. The chips were fresh as well. The price was about right, & the server was very attentive.",
"Is just mexican food for Gringos...thats it.",
"I like it. More authentic than the other options in the area. Service is good, salsa is yummy, chips are warm, margaritas are delicious and mixed well. Vegetarian options. I go there often.",
"It's a solid 3 for 3 reasons, runny beans, good rice, warm chips. Some of the food is pretty authentic. However, just like most ethnic places, they have to gringo-fy the food to get you to come in. I had the enchiladas verde and my Mom has had the tacos carnita. Both are basically what I'd eat if I was going to a boda or bautismo. Other good choices were the fajitas. Prices are good and you service is decent but needs a lil more attention. You definitely cannot take a large party here. I'd say 4-6 tops. There are mostly booths and not room to make it through the isles comfortably. We had 7 it was cramped. If I lived in the area, it would be a local favorite of mine. My sister loves it and hands down its better food than the Hacienda which I loathe. I wouldn't drive from IL just to come here but if in the area, I'd stop by.",
"For traditional Mexican food, this is my favorite place. Authentic tastes, great selection, and awesome prices. The El Indio dip is awesome...but filling.\n\nNot a fancy Mexican restaurant but just straight good food and friendly service.",
"I've been tricked into this place a few times now. After my first visit I swore I'd never go back, but my son loves the place for some reason so he only gets to go when he can talk his friends parents into taking him.\n\nWhy I would let a 10 yr old convince me that the restaurant has changed and that I should give it another try is beyond me. But that's exactly what I did. To be fair, he's a pretty sophisticated 10 yr old when it comes to food....oh, and it's *possible* that I'd had a few drinks.\n\nBottom line, all this talk of 'authentic' is a little crazy. If this is authentic then Mexico has had a cuisine disaster of biblical proportions. Look, one simple test for me, do they serve ground beef, or shredded beef? Exactly. Now stop arguing with me and go somewhere else."

"After Pat's*, this is my favorite place to go for steaks. It's on Passyunk near entrance to the Schuykill (near the shopping plaza w/ Modell's, DD and ShopRite)-- better than Jim's and Geno's in my opinion. \n\n*Pat's and Tony Luke's are bout equal, but TL was a good haul from where I lived and I only occasionally made it into that part of South Philly, so Philip's was the second option for me after Pat's",
"Whenever anyone asks me what I like better, Pat's or Geno's, I always answer, \"Philip's of course.\" I love this place. There are a number of great reasons this is the best steak spot in town. But let's just talk about the steak. Some places like to chop the meat like crazy when it's on the grill, giving it an almost ground meat consistency. Most pizza places do this, and so does Jim's and Dallesandro's. Geno's and Pat's, and Tony Luke, and Steve's Princess Steaks, all leave the steak unchopped, which is better. But Philip lands right in the middle, he chops it a couple times. And there is plenty of meat, without it being ridiculous. The meat is fresh cut every morning. Philip himself told me that he does it most of the time. And due to the fact that it's kinda out of the way, there's never a long line and they make your steak to order. It's not sitting on a pile or in a warmer like the busy places at cheese steak corner. And Philip's will accommodate any special order. My friend likes his steak with sauce, and he likes it cooked with the sauce on the grill, and he likes a lightly sauteed hoagie onion, not the chopped onions, and they'll do that for him, no problem. try asking somebody at Pat's or geno's or jim's to do that. you'll get stabbed, or at least glared at and told to move to the back of the line. Anyway, this place is the best. So if you're in your car trying to park at pat's and geno's, just keep driving and go up to broad street, make a left, and then make a right at passyunk. it's about 5 min's down the road. the extra time you spend in your car will be handed back to you in spades when you can just walk right up to the counter and get your delicious steak right away. All without freezing your ass in line, and trying not to get in a fight with one of the hundreds of drunk douchebags around you. No excuses, Philip's is open all night, too.",
"Probably 3rd or 4th on my list for steaks. Bread is great and I definitely agree with previous posters, the meat is really fresh and prepared well...Just not enough of it on the bread. When I get the white paper bag handed to me through the window, it feels like it's going to fly away if I don't hold on..",
"I was driving up Passyunk after running some errands and saw this place on the corner with a short line. It looked authentic--two windows, buckets of hot sauce and peppers, stainless steel counter to assume the position, the whole shebang--so I decided to give it a try.\n\nI got a provolone with. No fancy greens or sharp cheese here. As another reviewer mentioned, the steak is not chopped like Delassandro's but isn't exactly whole slices either.\n\nIt was a solid sandwich, constructed with good (not great) bread, decent quality meat, and prepared fast and fresh. I'm not ready to switch allegiance from Steve's Prince of Steaks or John's, but an above average steak for sure.",
"Well, I have to say, I think Philip's is officially my favorite cheesesteak joint in Philadelphia. It's not located at the greatest area, but it's close to my parent's and I've actually had their cheesesteak before when I was a young'un. The cheeses offered were American, Provolone, and Whiz. I had American just because my friends each ordered the others. \n\nWhen we finally unwrapped our sandwiches, the first thing you notice is how small it looks and it immediately looks like they were stingy with the meat. However, after getting to the meat part, it was just right for the size of the firm bread. The taste... it isn't all juiced up like Gooey's (cuz you know, Gooey's has got to be gooey), but it wasn't dry. It was enough to enjoy without having a napkins around constantly. The meat was also salty and had a terrific flavor. For the price (about $6-$7), it was a great sandwich and worth every dollar.\n\nI'm not steak connoisseur, but I know what I like in a steak. If I'm in the mood for one, this is the place I'd hit up.\n\nI don't know about drinks since we totally forgot about it and we all paid in cash. Parking is pulling up next to the place or you can just park in the lot in the complex and walk on over.",
"I would say this is about equivalent to a Pats type quality cheesesteak. The ssandwich is about average. They leave the meat as is (not too much chopping on grill) and do not leave the meat grinded too much. Toppings are subpar. The sub is kinda greasy too like Pats which I am not a fan of. Overall it is not bad. It is average for a cheesesteak in philly",
"Definitely worth the drunken bike ride to this part of the city. Although I always go over board with the hot peppers they have next to the ketchup. It certainly hits the spot at 3 am. I don't know that I have ever been here during normal eating hours, but I will take this over the big names any day (or night).",
"You know, this place has good cheesesteaks. I gotta stop eating them though! Wow, the one with mushrooms and fried onions was so good. My friend and I wanted to order another one after we ate the 1st one! I'm so happy we didn't. It was probably 3:30 am. The cheese fries here are not good at all. After eating all this food, I looked up and realized we were located right across the street from my gym. Then I felt guilty for eating all that food.",
"Pretty much the same as Pat's. The best I can say about this cheese steak is that it's average. If you've been to any of the 'famous' steak joints, this pretty much equals them. I'm not really a fan, but when you just gotta eat something they should do the job.",
"Don't be afraid to venture a little deeper into South Philly for a cheesesteak. It ain't pretty looking (but none of them are) and it isn't in a touristy area, but the cheesesteak is for real. \n\nAdded bonus: you don't have to put on that fake act where you have to say 'wizwit' or risk looking like a cheesesteak rookie. Feel free to order how you please."

"We loved this place ! Cajun/ Mexican food. We tried the tacos , charbroiled Mexican oysters, and chips and salsa / queso dip . Enjoyed it all. The staff was very friendly , everything clean . Had a nice bar . Want to go back and try out some other goodies. And of course the margaritas",
"I knew I flew 1300 miles for the right reason! My god, the oysters!!! Try the Mexican charoysters!!! Oh and Mexicajun corn!! Corn is boiled with Cajun seasoning so when you take a bite, you get that awesome kick of spice (and endorphins!). Wish I could take this place back home with me :(",
"Baja Nola ads kept popping during my Yelp scrolling, so I decided I had to try these delicious looking charbroiled oysters topped with pico. And I was not disappointed!\nInitially, I was worried about the blend of Mexican and Cajun food, because it doesn't seem like a natural combination. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easily the two cuisines blended and Baja Nola's execution of this combination. \nThe place itself is in an inconspicuous office building and the sign out front is kind of small, so it might be easy to miss. It's kind of a weird spot, but it wasn't hard to get to at all. The restaurant itself consists of about eight tables and some bar seating. You order up at the counter and then the food is brought out to you. The dining area itself is rather small and it kind of reminds me of a place where they mainly specialize in to-go orders. But you can definitely comfortably sit in the restaurant. \nI ordered the guacamole, strawberry margarita, chicken fajitas and of course, the oysters. EVERYTHING was excellent. The guacamole was freshly made, well-seasoned and the perfect consistency. The homemade chips were thick and crunchy and perfectly supported the thick guacamole. It's definitely a must order.\nThe fajitas were something I ordered on a whim because they were running a daily special. The meat was thick and well seasoned, with an excellent blend of Mexican and Cajun spices. The margarita was perfectly blended and the strawberry flavor tasted fresh instead of like a syrup (not sure if it was syrup or not). It was also huge and stronger than expected.\nThe oysters were easily the highlight of the experience. The pictures are accurate, they are charbroiled and topped with cheese and pico. They came out warm and the waitress suggested that we shuck out the oysters and toppings and put them in the corn tortillas and eat it like a taco. It was EXCELLENT. I would return for the oysters alone.\nThe service was pretty fast, all the food came out hot and the entire staff was very kind and accommodating. I will definitely be returning to this hidden gem!",
"this new restaurant is super good!! i recommend the beef tacos and dr pepper lol they also played great music. it is modern with an industrial vibe;)",
"You won't be disappointed in the food. Only recommendation I have is to use two tortillas for the seafood tacos so that they won't fall apart. Everything we had was delicious- corn(scrumptious!), Mexicajun oysters(outstanding), guacamole, assorted tacos. Frozen mango margarita was the perfect accompaniment. \nI don't know if the AC was straining, or if the big windows were letting in too much sun, but it could have been cooler for our comfort.\nGo, and keep this young couple in business- they are so nice and personable!",
"Awesome food. Mexican oysters are amazing. Great service. You will not be disappointed.",
"Holy cow - this place is AMAZING! If I could give it 10 stars I would! Came into town from Utah visiting family here who have complained of poor Mexican in NOLA. I happened to see good review for \"new and hot\" on Yelp and we decided to give it a try - so glad we did. We ordered fish tacos, ceviche and veggie tacos. Mahi and shrimp tacos were delicious and the Baja ceviche was the best I've had since Belize years ago. In fact, this place was so good when eating here for lunch on the way into New Orleans, we decided to come back 5 hours later for dinner! For dinner we had the Oyster sampler and I can say without reservation - they are the best oysters I've ever had! Carne Asada was also top notch. The owners were very busy cooking and attending to customers but were genuine and sincere in their desire to provide good service and great food! Well done. Now I'll just have to wait for another visit to NOLA next year!",

"Its a NEW place! They have Tortas, Fajitas, Burritos etc. with limited bar items (which I think they'll expand once the place is less new) and it is impressive! The location is rather remote and there was just 1 table when we entered but it picked up later. We ordered the Veggie Quesedilla, Chicken Torta and the Chicken Fajita with all good results! Especially the chicken in the Fajitas was so wondefully spiced I could gobble up in no time. You guys should check the place out.",
"Had a great meal Friday night at Baja Nola! Table of five. We had queso and Mexican oysters for apps. Can recommend the fajitas (steak & chicken), chicken quesadillas, and mahi mahi tacos. Also good margaritas! Will be back to try other dishes. Staff was very friendly and accommodating."

"We are thrilled to have a Seminole location of this favorite from St Pete Beach! Huge dining area, great coastal design and food was spot on. Matt, our server, was attentive, fun, and tended to everything we needed! Can't wait to see what they do with the patio bar!",
"We had reservations and on our arival were seated right away. Our table however, was a small round table near the bar about 24\" wide, not level. Ordered crab cakes which tasted OK, but were heavily breaded. My wife ordered tuna which is cooked rare unless otherwise specified. It was not exactly seared and very rare (raw), hardly cooked. Don't go there assuming there will be craft beer on tap. Only Cigar City Jai-Alai, the rest is Bud, etc. Will not be returning there.",
"I was excited to have a seafood place close to home without having to go to the beach. So I took my wife and 3 kids to try it out. Probably will not be going back. They are a little over priced especially for kids meals. It was $70 for our lunch and granted we did get 1 app but still. The food looked good when it came to the table but 4 out of the 5 meals were duds. I will say the buffalo shrimpon my salad were great just wish the tails would have been off first so I didn't have to go chicken wing on my salad first.",
"The waitress was nice and tried to help as much as she could. First timer went there at a prime rib sandwich it had more fat than meat. Tried it the second time the hamburger was okay nothing to say anything good about the french fries had a sour taste. The waitress tried the fries and even said they're bad. Try to get to manager no luck got the bill ask for the manager again no luck watch the manager walk around talking to everybody. Pay the bill waitress show me which one the manager was walked up to him ask him why he was avoiding me. He said he was busy this ain't how you treat customer I would not recommend this place. I would never go back.",

"I went with my oldest on a \"Burger Venture\" and after a search of a few FB reviews Sea Hags was our destination. Since the one on Seminole Blvd at Park Blvd is new and very close to the house that's where we headed. The place has a cool feeling when you are walking up, it's on piers over water with fountains. There is a very large porch for your wait, ours was going to be about :30min but don't worry the bar is outside and sorta separate so have a cold one, relax and enjoy yourself. \nAfter going to the window to order a beer for the wait we realized we could sit outside at the bar looking in or inside looking out and order which we did. The service was fun and friendly we enjoyed the atmosphere and the other patrons were all very friendly. \nI had the Marina Burger medium rare and it was beautiful and tasty, see my photo! My daughter had the Classic Burger medium and it was very good also. The buns were a tiny bit dry but that was offset by the juicy patty and super fresh toppings. \nI had a Jai Alai from Cigar City as this is one of my go to local brews but they did have a decent selection of others, she had a soda. \nI was extremely pleasantly surprised at my ticket when it arrived. Nice to have a great meal a great beer in a cool atmosphere for a very reasonable price, I felt it was a great value. \nWe'll be back and this may become a regular for us.",
"Drinks were great, bartenders friendly and attentive. Had the wings and calamari. Wings were great, calamari was good, marinara was a bit bland. Would be a better hangout if they had dimmer lighting in bar area. Very bright.",
"Just really meh...my wife and I went on a rainy day. The beer selection is very poor, mostly domestic drafts...very few local beers.\nThe food was just really average. My wife got a watery boring salad, I got a blackened chicken sandwich that barely had any blackening seasoning on it.\nOur server was ok, but nothing memorable. It's a shame, with such a big, cool building, there could have been a really fun bar/restaurant...but it just feels like another tourist trap",
"Our swordfish was excellent!. Had fried grouper sandwich--perfectly fine, nice portion, not heavy. Smoked fish spread was very good--more crackers would have been used. Service was good, attentive. Wait time was normal. Highly recommend. We will be back.",
"Went in on a Saturday evening, not a long wait. Very pleasant server, Deanna, took great care of us. We really enjoyed the food, grouper nuggets, hag chowder, and a big shout out to the hush puppies!"

"The best thing I had there was the Chicken Harvest soup on Thursdays. I never really ate anything else, but I also enjoyed the honey mustard. I'd go back again if I was in the area.",
"For whatever reason, I'm not a huge fan of O'Charley's menu, but the wife loves it. The couple times we've went I've got the Classic club sandwich as its pretty yummy and seems to be relatively healthy. We went for a late dinner on Friday and I ordered a beer.. only to be surprised when our waitress brought out two! Two - for - one happy hour.. Shocktop for $3.50, good deal in general, lead alone two! Good atmosphere and usually good service.",
"Was pretty good. Had western burger for lunch. Staff friendly, and Mgr. came by to check on us, which ALL restaurants should do. Would of given 5 stars but first time in which you can't always judge by one time, Fry's weren't hot and computer was down so we couldn't pay with credit card...glad I had enough cash on me",
"They're lucky I gave them 1 star, service is horrible. Manger Leslie is a bitch an rude!! Food, is gross!! I use to eat here a couple times a month but everything's gone down hill. I done coming here!! I'll take my business elsewhere",
"After a bad experience here about a year ago, we gave this place another try for brunch with the family; big mistake. While waiting we were forced to listen to the manager argue with some employees about their hours around the bar area. About 30 minutes later our server informs us that someone else picked up our food and they were starting over. That's when we made our hasty exit. I agree with the recent review that this place has gone downhill. I'd be very surprised if it is still open 6 months from now.",
"It's Saturday afternoon and I am sitting at the bar. Service was great and the food was really good.",
"It's Saturday afternoon and I am sitting at the bar. Service was great and the food was really good. What more can you ask for? Ok the drinks I had were good also and they could use more options on draft.",
"I ate here for the first time.. Horrible! My family and I had to wait 45 minutes until we actually got a table! Then we waited for another 30 minutes just to receive food, but it turned out to be nasty and raw! My steak was suppose to be Medium-rare, but instead came out raw and bloody. My server was extremely slow too. Never coming here again.",
"Went there in the afternoon on Mother's Day. Very poor service, Very long wait for food Oder that ended up being incorrect. The food quality was not good.",
"My family met here for a family meal while I was visiting from out of town. Since moving to the north east I have not been to O'Charles in several years and I was looking forward to eating here. Unfortunately, it was not a great visit. \nOur waitress was friendly and got our drink order quickly. The bread was on our table as drinks were served. Our table was clean and the seating comfortable enough. \nUnfortunately, despite the lack of a crowd our food order took almost an hour to be brought out. The waitress apologised and I felt sorry for her as this was obviously a kitchen issue. The on duty manger never came to apologise or explain anything which shows poor management involvement. \nMy family told me that this is a common issue and is the reason they don't visit this location if they can help it. The food was fine but not worth the wait."

"This place is a godsend to Pinellas County; especially, to St. Pete. Truly. I had heard about it from a friend on Facebook and thought we'd give it a try. I didn't know that we would end up going today, but I do not regret it at all. This was exactly what we needed for Korean food on this side of the bridge. We will no longer be trekking over the bridge into Tampa for Korean. It's been well more than 15yrs since we've had a decent Korean restaurant in Pinellas County. The building looks like an old Taco Bell and the interior still has a fast food restaurant feel to it, but it is FAR from being on that level. You are more than welcome to sit down and be waited on, if that's what you're looking for. They do take out and seem to be in the process of setting up their drive through service. Yes, Korean drive through. Once they're up an running, I will definitely be utilizing that option. \n\nWe ordered the galbi and the KFC (Korean fried chicken) wings for our lunch and it was perfect. The galbi was in the $22 range, but it fed both of us. The portions were on par with the price they were charging. The last time we went to our old Korean haunt in Tampa, the quality/amount of meat went down and the price went up towards the $25 range. The banchan we had was very good. The fish cake was perfect; daikon was crisp; kimchi was on point and the seaweed salad was fresh. My only suggestion for the galbi is that the onion with it be cut a little thicker and cooked more to the sauteed side of it. Other than that, it was perfect. We did order an extra bowl of rice, which was an extra $1.99. It's not a deal breaker, but I am not going to split my bowl of rice for anything. \n\nThe KFC we ordered was in the \"spicy\" version. It's not really spicy, but it has a little kick to it. The sauce on it was spicy/sweet with a hint of garlic. I love my garlic and will gladly sport garlic breath, but the garlic was more for the aromatics. You can taste it, but it wasn't overwhelming nor did it translate onto your breath. It may not dethrone my beloved Boom Boom Chicken in the KFC dept, but this comes pretty damn close. It also saves me a trip from hopping on a plane and going to NJ just to eat KFC. This is definitely a great option for KFC locally and I highly suggest that you try it.",
"Prayers answered. An actual Korean restaurant in St. Pete that serves a full Korean menu AND Korean fried chicken wings AND has lunch specials. Banchan on point. Food is delicious. I need to go back and try all of their soups. They also make poke bowls and have an option for a spring mix base if you're looking for something lower carb.\n\nI couldn't snap pictures of the laminated menu fast enough but I've added the paper version.",
"I was super excited to try this new place especially since we do not have any Korean Restaurant on this side of the bridge. I had the spicy Korean chicken wings, bossam and beef tofu veggie soup. Soup and bossam were good but can't say the same for the wings. It was not crispy at all which totally ruins the dish. We had about 5-6 different banchan. It was ok. The service was great! She was attentive and checked on us often. Since it's still new I'm sure they will need to work out some kinks. Its not the best Korean food but it's good enough since there isn't one here so I will definitely be back to try the other dishes.",
"I was so excited that there is finally a legit Korean restaurant in St Pete. The side dishes that they offer are kimchi, kimchi radish, fish cakes, kimchi bok choy, bean sprouts, and seaweed. Me and my sister had a bimbimbap, beef bulgogi, and beef soup. They were all very good and I will definitely be coming back.",
"Soooooo good , we've been eating here every night for two weeks still can't stop! Tried just about every dish and they are all delicious!",
"Services were great! Food was delicious! My spicy seafood tofu soup was the best!!!!",
"Dooriban is a newly opened Korean restaurant in Pinellas Park. The restaurant may be new to us, but there is actually a much longer and respected history--- as the business is run by the family that used to own the much loved One Family Korean restaurant on Hillsborough Avenue in Tampa. \n\nSince first moving to the Tampa Bay area 11 years ago, it is my first experience witnessing a purely Korean restaurant in the St Petersburg area. We have only had a Korean grocery store that has a small take out menu on 54th Ave N near 275, thankfully still surviving. And, there used to be a Korean owned sushi restaurant that had a small Korean menu that closed almost 2 years ago, RIP.\nAs you can tell, Dooriban is much welcomed.\n\nThe location is in a stand alone renovated building near the intersection of 66th street and 54th avenue north. Around lunchtime on the weekend, the dining room is completely full with one waitress. So I recommend arriving early as they already have quite tge following.\n\nSo, for anyone that loves the food from their previous restaurant, you know the good things to expect. A mix of traditional soups and some barbeque items, mixed with some delicious Korean-Chinese dishes like Jajangmyun and Tansooyuk. They also have chicken wings for a decent (not cheap) price. \n\nTheir side dishes are addictively balanced (sweet, sour, salty) and fresh, rice is perfect, (not gummy), and sevice is friendly.\n\n\nIf you live in the area, I cannot recommend Dooriban enough to try.",
"So happy there's a Korean restaurant nearby now! Restaurant is not much to look at but the food was really good. Took the boys on a Saturday for lunch. We all got lunchboxes: beef bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi and katsu. Lunch box comes with two fried dumplings and 4 different side dishes. More than enough to get you full!\n\nEveryone enjoyed their meals very much. We also got an order of the KFC (Korean fried chicken) to split. A yummy, sticky mess. Do wish the wings were crispier, but they were real tasty. My bulgogi was good, better when served on the sizzling platter though - I love the charred bits!\n\nService was friendly and quick. There were not a lot of customers there when we arrived (around 12:30PM?) but a steady stream of people started trickling in as we were finishing up our meal. Will definitely be coming back. Need some bibimbap soon!",
"Restaurant feels small inside, like at one generation it was a Taco Bell or something. But the food is strictly Korean. Pretty wide variety of food to select. I ordered the spicy pork and it was good. Came out piping hot o the skillet like normally does. Only Hite Beer from Korea besides the usual sundry American choices. Only one person working tables and orders. It was busy for a late Tuesday evening and orders took awhile to come out. They have room to improve on the side dishes too. The waitresses didn't want to refill the kimchi and other tasty treats. Had to ask her three times. Living over in Tampa I would only come back if absolutely in the neighborhood. But I wish them the best of luck.",
"Food was great. Price was cheap. Being close by the job is another plus. I got the Galbi (beef short ribs)lunch box special. I came away impressed and full. I have to go back and try their chicken wings."

"Pizza is some of Tucson's best. Sub sandwiches are fantastic. Great place to hang out, bartenders have all been nice. Other location on Broadway has same quality food but space is cramped.",
"If your looking for a fun place to hang out or order takeout from, this is the place. The food is really good and the beer selection is surprisingly good for a pizza join. The pizza is a litttle on the expensive side and the crust is uninspired. However the toppings and sauce make up for it. The subs are packed full, the wings are covered on sauce and the salads are huge",
"Beer selection here is pretty decent. The wings are pretty damn good (try the tysonized). The thing that I really like about this place is the waitstaff/bartenders are very friendly and don't mind taking the time to chat you up, but still are really attentive. They also have a couple of pool tables and a quaint little patio area. I've been told from a New Yorker to stay away from the pizza because it's not up to par with the rest of the menu. I will definitely be back to this place and recommend it to anyone who wants a nice little dive bar to hang out and enjoy some pretty decent food and beer.",
"This place always has coupons in the mail and its just down the street so I thought I'd give it a try. First off, try a slice of their pizza. They run $5 and are HUGE. Each month they rotate a special where you can save several bucks on buying a full pie. Some things that really make this place stand out from your regular Papa John's/Dominos:\n- Staff are super friendly high school kids that will make a pizza however you want it, and don't seem like they absolutely hate life & their job\n- Caprese salad is SUPER cheap....FRESH mozarella slices with basil all served on a salad. Awesome awesome.\n- Free local delivery if you order over $15...check out their website. \n\nWould love to see more flavor in the crust, I'm usually a crust-lover but this kind I could take or leave it.",
"Do NOT judge a book by its cover. Perfect example: Arizona Pizza Company. Got a take out order from this place. When I got home, I opened the box, and the pizza looked soooo good. It had nice big chunks of tomato and generous helpings of pepperoni and sausage. Good, right? Nope! Overall, very bland. None of the ingredients individually stood out. I could not taste the meats or the yummy-looking veggies: it all just tasted like bread and cheese. When faced with such flavorless toppings, I kept thinking I should have just gone with a cheese pizza and saved myself the calories. \n\nI also got a pound of wings. By far the driest wings I've had. And they each looked pretty small compared to the other wings from genetically-engineered chickens at other joints. I'm willing to overlook size but not the dryness. And don't get me started on the BBQ sauce they were doused in. A sugary mess that was more sweet than barbeque. I come from Texas and I've been spoiled in the barbeque sauce department but still. You know those Safeway wings that hang out all day in the sad plastic tray which you can take home and nuke in your microwave? Leagues better than this place. \n\nOn top of this, I paid $27 for one pizza and a side of wings. Last time I ate at Vivace Pizza, we got TWO pizzas for this prize. And even though a review for APC is not the best place to say this, Vivace pizza is delicious AND worth my $27, Hell, I'm a poor graduate student after all, but I am willing to fork up a \"pretty penny\" as they say for food that is actually good. \n\nWhew. I think I'm gonna go meditate now...",
"Stopped in for a late afternoon take out lunch and was happy with the menu selections. The place was pretty empty, but I got the impression things might pick up later in the night based on the fact that the layout is half pizza joint, half pool hall/bar. \n\nGood to know, there is a spot a minute from the crib that the hubby and I can escape to on those nights when our bedroom just isn't far enough from the kiddos. Anyhoo back to the Pizza! We ordered a 16 inch mixed Specialty Pizza, half Popeye (spinach, basil, tomato, feta and garlic) and half Chicken Pesto (pesto sauce, onion, tomato, chicken breast, Romano). \n\nThe Popeye half was the overwhelming favorite, it was really delicious, perfect blend of spinach and cheese, quite rustic and seasoned well. However, we were all pretty underwhelmed by the Chicken Pesto, this was disappointing for me because I love Pesto on Pizza and was really looking forward to tasting their version. It wasn't bad, but something just didn't sing for me, can't put my finger on it, and the rest of the family agreed. \n\nBut, all in all this place has a nice selection of specialty pizzas, I am particularly looking forward to trying their \"White\" Specialty Pizza (basil, tomato, ricotta, garlic, EVOO) They also sell Subs, Salads, Wings and an assortment of finger food and best of all, the location is a hop-skip-and jump away, and they even deliver. So I'm In!",
"It was alright. Layout was kinda cool, they have some sweet older video games. The place needs a facelift for sure. I don't know what the compititions like on the eastside but the pizza was probably 3.5 outta 5. Got a sad order of breadsticks before the pizza since we were dying and suspected it might be awhile before we see our pizza. I was correct, took a long time and not the greatest place to have to wait. \n\nNext time I'll hold off till i get to my side of town.",
"Absolute, hands down, best pizza and wings in town. I said it, and I stand by it! Here's why:\n\nFirst the hot wings. Delicious, delicious hot wings. If you can stand the heat, get them deep fried and Tysonized. This is key. If you Tysonize your wings, they add chopped up jalapenos and lord only knows what else to spice the sauce up. Either way, they're the best wings you will ever have. Make sure to get extra ranch to dunk those bad boys in!\n\nThe pizzas are large, decently priced, and just plain good! B/f and I usually get calzones with different ingredients and will share what's there. We can get anywhere from 4-5 meals out of one calzone because of how big they are! Plus they stuff them full of as much, or as little, toppings and veggies and meat and cheese that you could dream of. \n\nThe atmosphere is a bit sparse, but there is a nice wall/division between the eating and \"family\" area and the bar and \"grown-ups\" area. The family area has a separate room off to the side with a few video games and the grown-up area features a full bar and pool table and televisions. GO VISIT! I promise you won't be disappointed!",
"Airzona Pizza Company could be better... \n\nFirst of all, I wouldn't go all out and say this is the \"best pizza and wings in town\" as others have... which makes me wonder! But it is enjoyable. Another reviewer called the wings small...they aren't they are just as large as other locations offer and in my opinion the wings are far better than the pizza. I agree with another reviewer who said the pizza lacked taste. It sure does. We got the Arizona Pizza Co Combo and it smelled and looked soooo GOOOD! It was good, but was not bursting with the same flavor that I was smelling. A tad bland... but the portions of the veggies on the pizza were great.\nBottom Line I spent $30 on wings and a 14\" pizza and I think it could have tasted MUCH better. \n\nService is super friendly! \n\nThey score big points with their slice and soda for $5. The Slice is HUGE and worth the $5.",
"My wife loves these heavy pizzas loaded with meat and decent crust but I don't. What really throws me off is their outrageous prices for mediocre product. Resurant is not a pleasant place ... Dirty and noisy without decent seating. The girls that take your order are much more interested in chatting than helping customers. \n\nIf you want a big heavy pizza loaded with meat and don't care about price get it to take out."

"It's after 2 a.m. and you've been partying all night. You're hungry as hell. If you're feeling like pizza, this is the place. The Pie Hole was a definite savior on many tipsy nights to help me sober up. They serve huge slices of New York style pizza for a couple bucks. Can't beat that.",
"Tasty pizza (at least when you're shit-faced) in a little hole in the wall perfectly situated amongst all the downtown bars. We stopped in several times to fuel up between bars. Don't remember the prices but I think it was fairly cheap.",
"I visit Boise a couple times a year and after a long night out at the bars, we always end up at Pie Hole. It's a no frills pizza joint that serves serious slices of pizza. I've always had a good meal there and appreciate the hard work of the employees for making sure my pizza is warm and fresh!",
"Amazing that it's open late.. and cool atmosphere. Good pizza but not the best in boise. They skimp on the sauce for my taste. Don't get me wrong though, I definitiely eat at pie hole..just not usually in the middle of the day when I could go to guidos or flying pie instread",
"They've got a nice variety of pizza, the vibe is fun and hippie cool and the place is open super late. It's nice that you can get it by the slice and the people in there seem to be a lot of fun (including the staff). They have high school lockers in the back of the place, decorated with stickers and some paint and there's also a big arcade video game (sorry, I don't know the name) to help you pass the time while your pizza is heated. The pizza is definitely not amazing though, and mine got a little burned at the edges. The crust was super crunchy and sort of inedible, but the flavor on my spinach, feta, sun-dried tomato slice was very delicious, so that's important. I'd go again...and I bet if it was after a long night, the pizza would have tasted even better.",
"This place is fabulous. Is it the best pizza I've ever had in my life? No. That being said, I was behind a car this afternoon that had a Pie Hole bumper sticker and my mouth started watering...it took all my resolve not to motor downtown for a slice. So, though not the best, pretty damn good. \n\nThey offer pizza by the slice, as others have mentioned--and their prices are incredible (between 1.85-2.34/slice, depending on what you order). The slices are ample triangles in the classic New York style. Their crust is fold over soft and beautifully thin. Their sauce is decent, though not necessarily memorable. The variety is good, as someone mentioned they offer four different types on a daily basis (my fav being the roasted red pepper and basil--serious yum-yum--plus can't go wrong with the classic pepperoni) and then two random slices of the day. \n \nOther notes: They offer beer but no wine (bummer). And, I don't know what their hours are...but open seriously late--like are they ever closed? The service is remarkably fast, so if you are tight on time, no worries--they'll get you in, out and well fed. Also, this is not a place you go to for atmosphere...more of a hole in the wall type joint, though the people watching is pretty magnificent if you sit outside. But, delightful ambiance? Not so much. Serious grubbage? Absofreakinglutely!",
"Pizza-by-the-slice in the dead center of downtown. Never had a complaint about their pizzas, all very good. Trying to pay and get out at lunch rush can be a bit unpleasant, so show up a few minutes early or a few minutes late.",
"You've been getting your drink on downtown, you're waiting for the ever slow Boise cabs and you think, \"Oh my word, I'm going to have to get the cab to stop at BK for some delicious cheesy tots, a Whopper and maybe even a soda. That means I'm going to have to ask the cab driver if he wants anything, plus tip him even more for waiting in the drive thru, etc etc etc. Ugh...\"\n\nOH but wait my friend! You can get 1 slices of large, New York style pizza for ONLY $1.85 and it's just down the street from all the 6th and Main bars. Is it the best pizza you will ever eat that you would down in 4.3 seconds sober? No. Will it satiate your drunken need for carbs at 3 am and taste like an Italian made it? OH YES.\n\nThe great thing is that Mancino's on Broadway is now a Pie Hole as well. So when you're at End Zone or Sud's after a football game - hit up the Hole! They always hook it up and the pizza really is pretty good. Always hot and fresh because they are SO BUSY! Go love on either location. Both are friendly and fast!",
"There is nothing better than Pie Hole at 3 am after the bars have closed and you need something to ensure you can make it home in the cab without throwing up. I love the potato bacon and whatever the daily special is. \n\nI have actually had their pizza sober as well. While it isn't nearly as good as I remembered it to be the previous nights, it is still a good New York style pizza with a little bit of Idaho in their topping choices (i.e. potato-bacon). I still wouldn't rate them above guidos, flying pie, or the front door for pizza quality but for a decent slice for the right price they are a good bet!",
"8 slice choices.\nGreat drunk or sober.\nWhat more do you want?"

"Went to the soft opening tonight before it opens to the public. Completely in awe! Everything that came out of the kitchen was unexpected and delicious. If this is just the sneak peek, I can't wait to see what's in store!",
"Stopped in for dinner tonight. Wife had Sparta bowl and I had la Bonita bowl. I also had carrot tumeric ginger soup. All were excellent. There is a strong health focus on the menu which is a bit over my head but it's all supposed to be good for you to hence the name of the place. Enjoyable low key atmosphere. Only down side is that right now they close at 6:00 pm which seems very odd. We happened in about five till and thought we were just the early dinner folks. Hope they revisit the hours. But will be back regardless.",
"Really nice vibe here. Super chill and comfortable. A HUGE improvement over the prior place. If you like healthy, delicious food and really friendly staff this is a place you'll relish and return to often.",
"This is my new favorite lunch spot. They have managed to perfect the salad!! Super filling and healthy. So happy to have them in the neighborhood.",
"I've been waiting for this joint to open and it's everything I had hoped for !! They had not one but TWO vegetarian soups of the day- I got the curry broccoli and kale soup, which was packed with greens and had the perfect kick. Their menu is filled with protein rich healthy vegan options; I would have tried everything if I could! Quick and friendly service during lunch hour. I'll be back for lunch on the regular.",
"I'd like to give it another try and get a bowl. But $11 for a bland salad, no protein, but w tax and tip, is not worth it. I was hungry by the time I got home. Seems to be worth the extra $1.50 to add a protein or to get a bowl.",
"I you want to know what health and delicious taste like, try Max Well. Fantastic food. Great service. This is the way to eat tasty and clean. \n\nThe clean eating movement (is it a movement?) simply says that you get the best, most nutrient-rich diet from fresh, local foods and from plat-based protein. That's really it. \n\nThe bowls at Maxwell are amazing. They're filling and creative. They're like a mega hearty salad, with lots of good protein. I choose the Po'Bowl because they don't tell you what's in it and I'm adventurous that way. But fear not, they use stuff that's elsewhere on the current menu. I plan to try every one of them. \n\nI was not blown away by the hummus, but that's because my own homemade is so good. MaxWell could learn from the Israelis and smooth it out a lot more. But the seed & nut crackers were totally amazing. \n\nSo try Maxwell. Get it for lunch, and you'll feel both and refreshed afterward - not sluggish. Eat this way all the time and you'll have more energy and better health.",
"This place is awesome. Finally, a place to eat thats healthy, delicious, and affordable. The salads are great. Highly recommend the cranberry stuffing.",
"What I wanted was something healthy and fresh as I'd eaten a lot of less healthy things lately and didn't want to buy vegetables at the grocery store before I traveled. I realized that I hadn't tried this Garden District salad bowl place yet. Turns out, it was what I needed.\n\nTheir menu is entirely plant-based and offers various salads with protein options on top. What I tried was a Mexican-ish bowl with both whole and refried beans. The latter were tastier, but smaller in portion compared to the whole beans. The message is clear I think: this is health food. And if you want the satisfying crunch of fresh lettuce and the wholesome goodness of legumes with spices, you'll be happy. If you want something fried with powdered sugar on top, you're in the wrong spot (albeit the right city).\n\nThese sorts of places are never cheap; not being a juicer I can't get my head around the economics of $7 juices, but the bowl I got was worth it. They're not open terribly late (the main reason I hadn't tried them until now actually), but if you want lunch or an early dinner within walking distance of the park, this is a nice option.",
"Finally, a plant based restaurant that taste super without trying too hard. Max Well is in the Audubon area, on Magazine Street. Great, simple interior with amazing bowls and salads. I had the California salad, simple greens with red peppers, cukes, avocado, carrots and a flavorful miso dressing--the unexpected Asian fusion was a wonderful touch. I actually got a chance to taste hubby's NOLA bowl: red beans, brown rice, sweet potatoes, Cajun slaw and other goodness topped with a millet muffin--those flavors work so well together.\n\nHe also had the fresh squeezed orange juice (no pulp, yay!)--smooth, refreshing, delicious. A bit pricey at $5 for an 8/10 ounce but worth it. \n\nEverything is fresh and they source some products from Whole Foods. On top of that, nothing goes to waste--the OJ pulp is used in the miso dressing; and they compost other food items that they can't use. Max Well is good for the planet and good for stomachs! \n\nI wish I could eat here everyday to fulfill my plant based diet (PBD) dreams. It's really that good. If you're wanting to give PBD a try, this is an awesome place that will make you want to never eat meat again. So glad to have this PBD joint on the NOLA scene!"

"I always wanted a tea lounge near my home and now I have it. I visited it to get my fix for tea and for the ban mi sandwich. The sandwich was delicious, but since it was the end of the day the bread was a bit stale. I am going to go during lunch so that I can get fresh bread. The tea was alright as I got it to take out. I plan to sit at the tea lounge to really enjoy the whole tea lounge aura. \n\nOverall I am glad it has opened downstairs and I am looking forward to visiting it again to see the improvements take fold.",
"Let me start by saying this location just opened, so I'm sure the next time will be an even better experience.\n\nThere were many choices for Pho, which I'm told there is really one kind of Pho that is authentic, so the Chicken Pho I ordered was \"Americanized\" The broth was ok, but I've had better.\n\nI also ordered a traditional roll, which had pork and shrimp in it. To finish it off I ordered a Vietnamese Coffee. This is where they brew it at your table and put condensed milk in it. It was super strong but tasty!\n\nA friend ordered some kind of pastry that had chicken in it. That is what I will be trying the next time!",
"So nice to have this in my building in Channelside. I really love their downtown location and now just need to walk downstairs for my fix.",
"I'm very glad this place opened in channelside, the rolls and salads are fantastic still have a few things to try here. I hope they expand their menu in the future and add some of the dishes that the downtown restaurant offers...friendly staff and quiet atmosphere.",
"This is just what Channelside needs. Very unique and tasty menu items with a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. Definitely coming back on a regular basis. Please open earlier, I would love to stop on the way to work!",
"From the warm welcome by the owner Bonnie and the amazing information of the menu and teas by Michael. To say the least we were overwhelmed by the friendliness. As neighbors living across the street, this was our first opportunity to get there tonight. Wish we had gone sooner. Outstanding food. Bamboozle rolls could not be fresher. Baby boats, chicken & Beef not so small very tasty and very filling. Can't wait to go back. Coconut Milk and Taro Milk with Boba great and last by not least Blood Orange hot tea recommended by Michael was awesome. I was impressed to know that Michael actually worked as a bus boy at the Tampa Street location. I can see why he was promoted...We look forward to spend a lot more time there.",
"I recently tried their sandwich and I wish it had a bit more flavor so I will stick with the rolls, soups are great too and they are easily packed to go. They added beer, wine and sake to the menu, the outdoor seating is pet friendly and the staff is always friendly and helpful.",
"I love their fresh rolls, especially the variety! A couple fresh rolls and a mug of hot tea (I like the Thai chai) makes a great light meal. If your enjoy tofu, try the savory tofu roll- yum!",
"If you're familiar with true authentic vietnamese pho then you'll agree this is NOT authentic. Or maybe the broth is just extremely bland. Anyway, this is great for folks who aren't familiar with the traditional flavor and ingredients of Pho. I think it is suited for the demographic of the residents of channelside. Besides that, the spring rolls were very fresh and tasty. Boba teas were average tasting and over-priced. 12oz for $5+. ummm ok. Going rate at nearly every vietnamese restaurant is about 3.95 max. Overall, everything was over-priced but I understand the lease is probably much more expensive there. Will I go back? Nope. Ill head to Saigon Deli",
"Taro is the way to go!!!! Tried the coconut once and I should have stayed with the tried and true, TARO! ((with bubbles))"

"This place just opened in the Bayside plaza, the storefront may not stand out but the fuji roll and crazy tuna roll just made our day. Definitely worth a try.",
"I kept driving past this new restaurant while in the plaza and after the 4th or so time I decided to stop by to grab some to-go sushi. I ordered their regular sashimi and a roll (J.J. salmon? I don't remember the name). \n\nI was pretty hesitant because it's new, but from the few reviews I've read it all seemed pretty good. I walked in on a Sunday during lunch hour and it was completely empty. All the staffs were huddled in the host stand discussing in Chinese about something. \n\nI still decided to grab a menu and ordered something because I def wanted to give them a try. \n\nThe sashimi... not so great. It tasted a little more under the average level. I was starting to feel like I wouldn't like this restaurant due to their quality. I def have to stay away from their salad because the dressing was scary yellow, and tasted like thousand island? It was supposed to be ginger dressing right?\n\nTheir roll pretty much saved it! I wasn't sure if it was because it was covered in sauces that caused the roll to taste so good or what. I'm not sure I'd come back because there are much better restaurants with better quality fish near by, but I would want to try out a different roll to see if it's worth it.",
"The staff and food was amazing! This is now my new sushi spot. The price was great too!\nThey don't sever beer yet but let us bring in our own!",
"We ordered a togo order with a bunch of different rolls with different types of meats. The idea was trying a little of each and save the rest for the next morning.\n\nThe rolls were so good we ended up eating it all instead.\n\nEven though it was togo, the presentation was still great.\n\nI'll be going back for more.",
"Don't be intimidated by the outside of the restaurant. The inside is brand spanking new and the food is delicious. I asked the sushi chefs there how long they've been open for and they said for only a week. The sushi here is excellent. It's not like other places where they overdo the sauce, you can tell they put a lot of work into the sushi to make it look great and taste great. I would come to this place again and recommend to anyone who wants to try something new in the area. They were really nice as well and welcoming.",
"This place is amazing. Hands down the best sushi I have ever had. Fresh and delicious. Anybody that loves sushi should definitely try it out. The menu is huge. And the atmosphere is chill casual. I'll be here many times in the future.",
"I was able to dine in and upped my rating by 1 star (I would say 3.5 star in honesty). I'm not in love but they certainly do better for dinner than when I had a to go for lunch.\n\nWe tried the tako su, salmon tartare, and the sushi sashimi for two. The tako su was so-so. I love octopus and think that the thinly sliced octopus was nicely prepared yet the sauce was off putting to me. The same with the salmon tartare. The sauce was way too overpowering for the dish and because there was nothing except grated up salmon and tobiko the texture got old fast. It really reminded me of cat food, I tried really hard to like it but it was my last favorite tartare ever.\n\nThe sushi sashimi for two only came with 1 choice of soup or salad which is weird because it's a dinner for two. It is a pretty good deal and could feed 3 or so people. There is a good amount of your basic fish in nigiri and sashimi style plus a tuna roll and dragon roll.\n\nOverall I still think it's an average sushi place. I didn't love the sushi nor hate it. The service was really nice though. We received complimentary dessert which makes this place really unique. I may come back again because it's down the road from me.",
"I've had a hard time finding a great sushi spot. I first tried this place as takeout just to try it out and It was sooo good!! I give 5 stars just for their spicy tuna roll. The Fuji roll and the crazy tuna roll are amazing as well! Don't let the location fool you. I really hope this place sticks around for a while.",
"Amazing! They've only been open for 3 weeks and they've nailed it!! I wasn't sure what I wanted so our waitress asked us what we liked. Spicy? Raw? Tempura? Veggies? I said spicy, tuna, raw or Cooke. She instantly had 2 rolls to recommend. I got the crazy tuna roll - it was better than I expected. Fresh, colorful, delicious! My boyfriend got the dragon roll and we split the Caribbean roll. The chef drew beautiful designs on the plate around the rolls; the colors of the food were so vibrant and beautiful I almost felt bad for eating the art that was just delivered as our dinner. The flavors were just as vibrant! \n\nDo yourself a favor and go!",
"Go to this place. I am living in Tampa but I work in Clearwater. This place is amazing. I think this is the best Bagel Roll I had and I have had sushi in Tampa, New York, DC, Pennsylvania, Texas (Dallas), Chicago etc... And by far the best damn Bagel Roll.\n\nI also had the Phoenix Roll within the same order and it was great. My co worker got the Chicken Katsu bento box and had good things to say.\n\nThe service was great and I hope it stays this way! I never eat two specialty rolls but holy moly I could not help myself. I also never give 5 stars but this is the best quality sushi for the price... Four rolls (2 specialty) came to only 24$ after the 20% discount.\n\nIf you are choosing between this place and your pay day place... The answer is this place!!!!"

"Porto is a great addition to the area! I used to go to Carmen's (the previous business in the same building), and was hoping that the new owner would keep a breakfast oriented establishment. I am impressed with Porto's selection, pricing, and quality, and that is the reason I am giving 5 stars. If you are looking for a quick & quality breakfast at a good price and are looking to maybe grab a cup of la Colombe coffee then this place is for you. Great for a casual breakfast date, on the way to work/school, or just because you feel like it and know you won't break the bank doing it. It sure beats those egg and cheese sandwiches from food trucks! For a run of the mill good breakfast I recommend the grilled cheese egg sandwich that comes with home fries, only $6! Add a cup of coffee on their and mmmm... Do I need to say more. It does the job right.",
"I ate at Porto this morning, it was excellent. I got the eggs benedict with veggie sausage which was accompanied by home fries. I ate the entire thing and was scraping the plate. My Dad had what I believe is called The Porto special, it was an omelet that had kielbasa, cheese and some other good stuff accompanied by pierogies and toast. He loved it, I tried the pierogies which were awesome. I am glad I live so close because I will definitely be going back!",
"Dropped in at Porto for a late lunch today and, man, were we impressed. It's laid back and really friendly. Both Chris the owner and our server took the time to explain the menu and their approach. We had the Migas salad and the pork belly blt. Both really great and then la Colombe coffe.......nothing wrong with this place. We will be back many times!",
"It is one block from my apartment and I couldn't be happier. One price coffee - $2 La Colombe Corsica, which sits well in my book. The space is small, as Carmen's was, so if you want brunch there'll be a wait. But their menu is awesome and inventive, with everything titled in a crusades/holy grail theme. \nI'll be frequenting this place as much as I can - IF I can score a table, of course. Cash only for now, be forewarned. The open kitchen is a plus, as you can see and talk to the lady chef and owner personally. Not one bad thing to say here.",
"Very cute inside; room for about 20-25 guests. The food is mostly American style, with a few token items (bacalhau) from Portugal. Estimate spending 17$ per person, with coffee and breakfast (so maybe the 1$ classification on Yelp is off).\nI tried the eggs with sausage (they do veggie substitution) and farmer's cheese with onions. Comes with a really tasty side of pierogies. \nThe portions were normal-sized, which is odd in the Philly brunch scene. Usually I get 1 entree to split with a friend at a place like Sabrina's or Green Eggs, but that wouldn't work at Porto. The portions are not over-the-top, which means I had to order an extra meal for my friend.\nThe coffee seems good, but be careful with espresso-based drinks. My latté had about a teaspoon of coffee grinds in it.",
"After walking by and peeking in the windows for the past few months, I finally met a friend here for lunch today. It was fantastic! I will update my review, if necessary (though I don't anticipate the need to take any stars away, seeing how much we loved it), but based on my first visit, I can sing the following praises:\n\nYes, it's a small space. We came by for lunch on a Thursday and were able to sit at a free table straight away. I'm sure it must get crowded on the weekends, but I can also promise you that it will be worth the wait. And the lovely decor and warm atmosphere means you feel homey and intimate, within easy talking distance to the open kitchen and on chatting terms with the incredibly kind server.\n\nIf our two meals are anything to go by, the food is *delicious*. I got the rocket salad (goat cheese, candied walnuts, perfectly subtle dressing) and my friend got one of their sandwiches and we were both pleased as punch with our meals. And the La Colombe coffee is a great addition to any meal, in my book.\n\nThe staff there is so very kind and accommodating. I can't stress this enough. My friend and I each had a 9-month-old in tow (and there was another mother with a young baby at the table next to us), and not only was the server gracious and helpful as we came in (offering to help with strollers and carriers), but the chef quickly offered to send out some baby-friendly food for our little ones (a dish of goat cheese was a bit hit). I don't know how many parents with babies come in here, but they seemed like seasoned professionals, which (as a new parent) means a LOT in a city that isn't always psyched to see you walk in with your kid. I don't expect every place to be baby-friendly, but it's always a real treat to find one that is, especially one with such good food and great service.\n\nGiven how close Porto is to my house, I'll definitely be coming back (both with and without baby!).",
"Some of the best food I've ever had, and a great staff. I couldn't be more excited to go back again and again to try everything on the menu. The coffee is delicious also. I highly recommend it. Plus, it's BYOB.",
"Had a fantastic brunch here this weekend with two dear friends: one gluten free, one vegetarian. It was a five minute wait at Porto for Sunday brunch at noon. The server was attentive & made sure we were all comfortable, which I appreciate as a someone with limited mobility (keyword disability). The steak & eggs were cooked as specified by my gluten-free friend, my vegetarian friend said it was the best tofu scramble in the city, and I loved my peanut butter pancakes. We'll definitely be back!",
"We decided to come here for brunch this past Sunday. The place is very small as other Yelpers have stated, maybe 20-25 people at most. We were able to get a table after waiting for five minutes.\n\nOur table ordered the Yo Cuz, the eggs benedict and the regular steak and eggs (not the special). The Yo Cuz was recommended by the server. It was definitely the most unique option on the menu. I'm really glad I ordered it because it was fantastic. The only thing it could use more of is heat (thai chili's maybe?). The coffee was good and it was refilled regularly. Service was overall good. The food was great and I'll definitely be back soon. Prices were very fair in my opinion.\n\nNext time I am ordering the burger. Another table ordered it and it looked majestic. \n\nThey do take credit cards now - we asked.",
"I'd been wanting to try Porto since it opened about a month or two ago. And last weekend I had my chance to have breakfast there. It was delicious, cozy, and very friendly. The food is wholesome, fresh, and very reasonably priced. The owner, Chris, and her staff are friendly and helpful. I'd loved Carman's when it was located here and now there's a worthy new restaurant to fill the weekday and weekend breakfast/brunch/lunch scene in the area. \n\nMy only hesitation in leaving this review is that if too many people discover Porto, there will be lines and a long wait to eat there."

"So glad they opened up this healthy restaurant right next to my job. The food is delicious and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place for those interested in helping eating.",
"Definitely exciting to have a totally meatless menu here in West Chester! The Cuban sandwich was tasty. The meat substitute in the Panini Italiano wasn't very flavorful, though. \n\nHowever, as a vegetarian I would love to see some sandwiches that are vegetable-heavy instead of being mostly composed of meat substitutes. Also, $13+ for a sandwich is a bit pricey. Gotta at least put some chips with that!\n\nI want to see good things happen for this place. I really appreciate the effort that has gone into opening this kind of restaurant around here!",
"Finally a spot dedicated to plant based food! Their \"meats\" are truly flavorful. We had the italiano panini - which I would order again. Also ordered the special: grilled chicken salad on choice of bread. Chicken was cut in large strips, which made it difficult to eat in a sandwich, so this would be better enjoyed over a bed of greens. \n\nOverall, we loved our lunch! Our sandwiches felt lonely without an option of a side salad or fries, (or even chips!) so hoping for that addition soon.",
"Absolutely loved this place! About time West Chester gets a great sandwich shop with fresh ingredients, and its all plant based! kombucha on tap and great music! My new go to lunch spot!",
"Our first visit we had the Cuban and Roast beef special. Today we had the pastrami and a custom ham/cheese sandwich with various additions (lettuce, deli mustard etc). Everything we've had is excellent...so good! And don't forget the cookies, also very good! This will definitely be one of my regular spots, glad to have a plant-based shop/restaurant close to home!",
"I can't believe my eyes....Vegan in West Chester!? Dreams really do come true! For my first experience I went with the Cuban. Just my two cents, but $13.25 seems a bit steep. Maybe include chips? While I realize the ingredients are more costly than an average sandwich but + $13? Additionally, while the flavor was solid, half of my grilled sandwich was cold, the other half was warm. It's alright, opening week of restaurants tend to be hectic. I also tried the vegan jerky. It was pretty tasty, so I'd highly suggest ordering the harm free jerky!\n\nWelcome to West Chester Love Again! I look forward to trying more of the menu.",
"West Chester FINALLY has an all-veg restaurant! \n\nIt's a super-casual and extremely attractive place - sleek, clean, and bright but not cold. There is a blackboard pillar where you (or your kids) can draw on with chalk - nice touch! \n\nHere's what I've tried so far: \nPastrami sandwich - very good! Brings back my (vague) memories of meat pastrami from decades ago. Wish it maybe had a little more crunch in it from something like sauerkraut.\nChickpea \"Tuna\" Salad sandwich - great! Satisfying and tasty. \nChicken salad and Chicken salad sandwich - both were excellent! Not sure where they get their vegan chicken from but it had perfect taste and texture that could please even a hardcore carnivore.\nAnd the cookies are wonderful. \n\n\nI've only been here twice but both times (for take-out) the service was warm, friendly and fast. It's only open until either 7 or 9 depending on the night, so I fear it won't be able to compete with the pizza joints and other places that cater to the late night drinking crowds and college kids in West Chester. But maybe hours will expand as they develop a base of core customers. Highly recommended whether or not you are a vegetarian.",
"Loved EVERYTHING about this place! The staff was friendly and helpful and the sandwiches were seriously amazing. Would totally bring our non-vegan friends back to try it out!",
"Decided to try something new, spice up the palette. Wow, was I surprised at how delicious my sandwich was. The menu, service & promptness of the food being ready was impressive. The cookies are worth the visit also. I'm definitely coming back again soon.",
"So good!!! So far, we've tried the cuban, italian panini, grilled cheese, and the bologna sandwiches. All were really delicious!!! Keep up the good work!"

"There's not a lot of great bars in Fenton. It's not that the bars are bad in Fenton, but there's not a huge assortment. Generally, you get the same sports bar or random pub in a newly built strip mall with the same mid twenties to mid thirties crowd sipping bud light and munching on spinach artichoke dip. \n\nThis place is certainly different. It's a bar and burger place. I have never had the burgers, but my friends say they are excellent...I will take their word for it. The prices are are cheap and the atmosphere has more of a local vibe to it than the other places in Fenton. It's not shiny and new, but it has a little more edge to it. The crowd can be a little older, but there are plenty of early 20's kids slugging back beers as well. \n\nIt's not quite a dive bar, but it's not quite a pub either. It's hard to describe and actually, kind of hard to find since it's buried in a little strip mall on the side of Bowles after you cross over 141. Just look down the slope and you'll see it. It's certainly welcome diversity in the Fenton bar scene.",
"This is a great quick serve reasonable restaurant that happens to have a small bar and about 6 TVs (1 HDTV). The staff wear \"burgers and beer\" shirts and that order seems to be the priority.\n\nPoor Richard's is a great burger, salad and sandwich joint. (They do serve a very good boneless and w/ bones wing with just one, tasty, standard sauce) The burgers are nice fresh meat juicy 1/4 lb. or 12 oz creations with better buns and with some more interesting toppings. I got mine with the steak fries and then saw the sweet potato fries that looked better plus the Philly and that will be my next order.\n\nI have had their very good \"sizzling\" salads before topped with grilled steak (can come with chicken).\n\nThey got a friendly 10 person bar and some TVs plus a few booths. The majority of seating, about 20 tables, is plastic cushion chairs under plastic tablecloths. This is more of a comfortable place to grab a bite than anything else.\n\nP.E.T.A. I would say are welcome, if that means People Eating Tasty Animals because there is a stuffed bear to welcome you at the door.",
"I've never sat down and ate in here, mainly because I'm not a bar kinda gal. But they have some serious tasty hot wings! I order a batch of 50 wings for about $32...pricey yes, but they're so worth it. Gonna be honest though, never had anything else off their menu and I'm not sure if I'm ready to look past the wings, my eyes just stop at that part on the menu. Maybe one of these days I'll actually sit down and order something else, but till then, just going to enjoy my wings in the comfort of my television.",
"We went to Poor Richards on a Sunday afternoon. We've been here before and just haven't written a review. \nThat Sunday we decided to just sit at the bar. Our bartender was very sweet and attentive....wish I knew her name. \nWe started off w/ the toasted mushrooms (nothing special but hot and tasty). Hubby ordered the wings and a side salad w/ raspberry dressing and I got a mush. swiss burger. The wings here are really good, messy and hot. I'm not a wing fan so no opinion but hubby likes them. \nThe burger wasn't really juicy enough for me.....normally I like my mushroom swiss to be really juicy and cheesy and this just didn't do it for me. \nThis is a very friendly bar with a neighborhood feel even though it's in a strip mall. Dark and cozy and fine to bring kids to. \nHigh marks for great service!",
"This place has the most amazing chicken ceasar salad that i have ever had,i usually order it with a whole egg and it does come with a side of garlic bread,everything is always fresh and i haven't been dissapointed as of yet. it usually does cost me at about $10.00 but i feel it is worth it,and a better tasting salad than a Panera carries.Keep it up Poor Richard's.",
"Ended up here with a group of guys last night to take in the Bruins absolutely dominate Vancouver in the Stanley Cup Finals. Since the Cardinals were again getting beaten by Washington, the waitstaff obliged us and we got the benefit of watching the game on two TVs near the bar area. Only downside was that they have HD TVs but no HD service. \n\nService was excellent all night and the 9 of us were having a great time. Ended up splitting 50 wings with a few of the guys. My buddy at work had recommended the wings and while they were good I found them to be a bit on the small side and I just wasn't impressed with them. Size does matter when it comes to chicken wings and I felt like I could have easily put down a plate of 25 on my own and still have room left over. \n\nAside from that, it is a nice hole-in-the-wall place to go for a beer. They had $5 pitchers and $1 draft specials going during the Cardinals games so even if the Red birds get beat by a AAA squad you can at least drown your sorrows.",
"Poor Richards has always been known for their wings. They are still good and love their burgers! We had stopped going there when they allowed smoking, the smoke was just too thick and you would leave smelling like an ashtray! But now they are smoke free and we spent a pleasant evening enjoying our favorite local wings. In fact, they seem more popular now that's they are smoke free!",
"Visiting Fenton for business, we happened upon poor richards. After reading the reviwes on yelp, we figured we'd give it a try. \n\n1. Great chicken wings. Really. They some of the best we'd ever had. \n2. While their burgers are supposedly fantastic, after devouring 25 wings, we figured we'd pass on the burger for some lighter fare.. we were not disappointed. The hot turkey and the hot ruben were delicious... fries, done well along with the awesome onion rings...\n3. The beer was plentiful and cold.\nSo what more do you want for a random Tuesday night. Staff was attentive and very friendly, pricing decent and food was really good. For a relaxing time, I urge you to try poor richards.. a good time guaranteed...",
"I don't know what went wrong with the Eureka location, but this one is still great. I love splitting 50 wings and pitcher with a group of friends and watching whatever sporting event is on TV, it could be curling for all I care, great atmosphere. My wife has gotten the french dip on numerous occasions and says it is great. It's too bad they keep raising their prices or I would come here more.",
"I really love the food here. Excellent wings, skins, and burgers.\nThe only con- the inside. I know its a bar, but it is way too smokey if you want to eat. I always get my food to go."

"The food is generic and greasy. I was disappointed with the atmosphere, especially since this is a brand new place. Nothing special here.",
"If I could give this 0 stars, I would. Awful service. Awful food. I will never go there again. I do not normally like chains, but I went purely for nostaglia. It was a mistake. Everything was bad from the appetizers to the dessert. How do you mess up a burger?",
"We thought we would try ground round, in an attempt to relive some childhood memories. We went at lunchtime on a Saturday, and it was mildly busy, but we got our table in about 5 minutes. The VERY 1st thing I noticed upon entering were 2 signs, clearly made on Microsoft Word. 1 sign indicated you had to have your entire party together before being seated. And another clearly stated no children in the lounge. I know, it sounds petty, but I think signs like that are so tacky and really bring your establishment down a few notches. As I rounded the corner, found another computer generated sign, stating \"DO NO'T HELP YOURSELF TO THE POPCORN, ITS AGAINST HEALTH CODE\" or something like that. Although our waitress was excellent, the hostess and...I'm assuming here, the manager, weren't happy to be working there, it was clear by their gestures and overall demeanor.\n\nThe menu is boring. Red Robin, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesday esque. You won't be impressed. We both got salads, and they were boring. Kids menu was standard issue. \n\nIn an economy like this, it amazes me that a place like this would attempt to compete in the Oxford Valley area, and not differentiate themselves. \n\nI give it 6 mos. 12 max.",
"I went there once with my 5 year old son. It was good. I see nothing to complain about and nothing that stood out except our service. The server was very nice. I would say to try it out.",
"I went here b/c I had fond memories o the place from growing up in NY. BIG MISTAKE! I'll neve3r go back. It took the waiter 7.5 minutes just to come take our drink order then he comes back 9 minutes later with them and ask for our entree order which he only took half of the tables then the food took about 20 minutes to get to the table by that point it was cold and hard or soggy, but it only took him about 20 seconds to take my credit card. I gave him a 1% tip and that was over tipping him! On the way out I heard him complain about it to another waitress ... as a customer in a restaurant I am your employer you want me to pay you do the work! oh and I was there on an unbusy Thursday night. If I could give 0 or negative reviews I would !",
"Our second visit last night was memorable, but not in a good way. We had gone the first time during the opening weekend and it was OK... so we decided to give it another try. I too remember the Ground Rounds of my youth with the peanut shells on the floor... Oh memories\nWe were seated promptly and greeted by our server (who will remain unnamed for a reason you will soon see). She introduced herself and complemented me on my necklace, a good start. We asked about beers on tap - this is where it started to go downhill. She admitted that she doesn't drink and doesn't even try to keep up with the selections as they change constantly! Ooops, so my husband went to the bar to check it out. We ordered our beers and dinner and enjoyed the complementary popcorn.\nAbout 40 minutes later she came back to apologize about the delay in our meals and confirmed our choices, she then returned about 5 minutes later with a print-out of our check and had my husband read it to confirm the choices again. We saw her take this to another employee who we later found out was a manager and discuss something. Another 5 or so minutes pass, she returns again and explains that there was a mix-up in the kitchen and that dessert \"was on them\". I explained that we didn't intent to have dessert, could they comp part of the meal. She left to ask about this and returned with this explanation:\n**No they could not do anything else as once something is on the ticket it can't be removed.**\nI was not happy with this and pushed a little further, she then explained:\n**The owner was there tonight and he is a real \"d-bag\". He was not willing to help.**\nYes she said to a paying customer that the owner was a d-bag. We asked to speak to the manager. I was not willing to cost her a job so we let the comment slide but did manage to have one of our very dissappointing meals taken off our bill.\n\nSuffice to say we won't be returning... Oh memories",
"Nothing Special. Looks like Ground Round kept most of Charlie Brown's (which it replaced at this location) motif with the exception that they took out the large salad bar and put in extra seats.\nService was friendly and attentive.\nMy sirloin was ok, just ok; the taste was good but just an average cut of meat. The one piece of steak I gave my friend to taste had a piece of sinew hanging out which was not appealing.\nFriend's BBQ ribs were good and she would get them again.\nUnsweetened Ice Tea was below par in taste and would not order again.\nWill try a burger next time but with a # of burger restaurants in the area a place really needs to really excel to warrant repeat visits.",
"My 1/2 rack of ribs was succulent; I would give those 5 stars. However, since this review is based on the entire visit... Two stars: Service was slow even though there seemed to be plenty of waitstaff and not many diners. Food: Cole slaw tasted \"watered down\". (How hard is it to make tasty cole slaw?) my partner's steak looked lovely with its cross hatched grilled pattern, but, past that, the steak looked and tasted steamed. Maybe they put it in a press to get the crosshatch look and leave it there, where it steams. It did not look like it was cooked on an open grill. Also, it was chewy with a bit of gristle or sinew. Prices: high for lunchtime. Can't imagine what dinner would cost. Bottom line: there are better places to go to get a better steak. And bland, watery cole slaw? C'mon! Shred your cabbage (savoy is tastiest), some carrots, mix in some mayo (and sour cream or plain yogurt, if you like), a splash of white vinegar, celery SEEDS, pepper and salt. Tweak it to taste.",
"First time here. Had a very good inferno burger. Wife had a chicken pasta dish with Alfredo sauce which was ok. Service was very good but place was not very crowded. Overall it was good, similar to Red Robin or TGIF.",
"I was so super excited for The Ground Round to make a come back. Maybe it's because I have great childhood memories of this restaurant. The only thing I've liked about this place were the 2 bartenders. We tried to make this our \"regular\" place because we live so close but the food isn't very good and it's all kind of mediocre blah. The menu isn't very varied and it gets old quick. The things that made this place charming in the 80's are now gone. \n\nI didn't understand the decor choices because the whole place just feels grimy and dated when you go in. I'll just stick with my childhood memories of watching old cartoons on the big movie theater screen while eating helmet sundaes."

"Wonderful! Most tender, delicious carne asada I've ever had, street corn was delicious (albeit not exactly traditional), and service was especially good considering it was opening night! Next time, I hope to set up a designated driver so I can try one of the fresh muddled margaritas of the day. Oh, and the place looks GORGEOUS!!! I'll definitely be back :)",
"Amazing shrimp tacos! Beautiful space and delightful, attentive service. Two thumbs up!",
"Attended the Grand Opening this evening. The ambiance was welcoming and the customer service was exceptional. We ordered the Carne Asada tacos and street corn (highly recommended). I would come back again!",
"We had several dishes, Escabeche (the vegetables were fresh and crisp with a jalapeño flavor that lit up your mouth and then dissipated, get them), Guacamole (generous chunks of avocado), Totopos (these are almost chilaquiles, great flavors), Tortilla soup and pozole soup (true to the originals, all clean and deep flavors), Torta Ahogada (the bread is just right and the cochinita is true to mexican flavors), Chile en Nogada (if you like chile rellenos, come have the upscale version of them, you will not be disappointed), Carne Asada Tacos (You might think this is not the place to have them, but they are full of flavor and authentic, the home made tortilla prepared to order does add another level to them), Hongos y Rajas Tacos (these are a delight), Pasted de Elote (you just have to order it, it will be a delightful surprise to your pallet and is special for those that prefer a not too sweet desert), Flan (bring on the sweetness, and the brittle out of this world!) Now this place is a place you can take anybody for a great meal. Get your Vegan, Vegetarian, Herbivores, Paleos, Omnivores, etc. Excellent job in creating such a rich menu! Almost failed to mention they had 229 tequilas in stock!",
"The food here is so so and the prices are high high. $17 for chicken enchiladas? They pretentiously present the food on the plate, but I'd rather have KILLER food that isn't so pretty. So much bigger portions at SO many other Mexican restaurants here in Tucson, poca cosa you are not.\n\nPS whats with the name? Is this a pilates studio or a mexican restaurant?",
"I had the hibiscus floutas and prok tacos. They both were amazing and I will come back for them! Great service and the atmosphere is perfect! Great for friends and family or date night.",
"Tried this place for the first time and overall it was just average. I never want to leave a negative review and I wouldn't say that this is negative I would say I'm just being honest and hope that they are just brand-new and working out the opening kinks. The margarita though it was flavorful had no tequila. We ordered tacos and they were very average if not lower than average for being nine dollars for two. I did however absolutely love the corn it had a different seasoning and Cojita cheese and was very addicting. I like the vibe of the restaurant it's not overly loud and it's got a sleek stylish design but I think it really caters to an older crowd rather then the frat house that is union next-door! This feels better to me, I guess I am an old 30. Would I go back? Maybe in a few months after it's been open a little while and they really get to work it out I wish this restaurant nothing but success!",
"This was our first time dining at Reforma. The hostess who greeted us was lovely, we were seated at the table we requested and our waitress was prompt and delightful.\n\nThe food was excellent, and the service wonderful. The only area that they need to work on is the speed with which they bring out the drink order (perhaps they need more bartenders). \n\nWe highly recommend Reforma and will be back often!",
"I always love to check out new restaurants, so I made a reservation for dinner with a few girlfriends a few nights after Reforma opened. I was excited and surprised that they were already on opentable, so that made it really easy. \n\nThe space is nice, very modern, yet rustic. A good fit with the other restaurants in St. Phillips Plaza. I can't wait for better weather to check out the patio, but for tonight, it was inside. The space is actually quite spacious, with a bar area in front, booths and tables in the middle and what looks like a private event space in the back. \n\nWe started with drinks. They give you an iPad with all the tequilas in stock...but let's save that for next time as this was a school night :) I opted for a moscow mule, while the other ladies went for red wine. One note, the drink menu is a little confusing as the cocktails are listed on page 1, yet the wine is in the back of the menu and beer on the back cover..... The mule ($8) was good, a little sweet, but tasty.\n\nThey serve complementary chips and salsa similar to most Mexican restaurants. The chips looked homemade (as least how I made my homemade tortilla chips), with the right amount of course salt and a tad too much grease. The salsa was tasty, albeit small, so we needed to request a second one for the 3 of us. A sign of good Mexican is always good chips and salsa, so there is a win here.\n\nOnto the menu...I was very excited to eat here as I heard that the chef from Nopa and Nopalito in San Francisco helped start Reforma. (By the way, I just moved to Tucson from San Francisco and LOVED Nopalito and Nopa, as did the rest of the city!) As its new, I asked our waitress for recommendations, and while a little confused by my question, she said all small plates were good and the carne asada. Ok... My friends ordered carne asada tacos (3 for $11 with no sides), a small tortilla soup ($5 for 6oz) which she noted was loaded with chicken!!, and a Reforma salad; all of which looked tasty. As for me, I went big time, and ordered the chicken enchiladas. While on the pricey side ($17 with no accompaniments), I have to say they were very tasty and a generous portion size. The mole sauce was too die for, yet at the same time the meal felt very fresh, rather than heavy.\n\nI plan to come back to this beautiful space, hopefully to sit on the patio, and try more from the menu. Good luck Reforma!!",
"We visited reforma for a friends birthday, they had plenty of seating for large groups. Lots of Mezcal options which was pretty cool. Food was a the pricey side, good reviews on the sides more so than the entrees. I got the \"drowning torta\" which had an awesome four chili broth that came with it. Service was slow but could be due to the large size of our group."

"Went there today. All I have to say is the 15-piece shrimp is worth going there everyday. This place rocks. I feel like going back right now just for an order of those succulent shrimp.",
"i just ordered a grouper fried dinner for 9.50$ and it came with like 8 huge pieces of grouper ive never seen something like this in my life. the portions of hush puppies and fries were small but THE WHOLE BOX WAS STUFFED WITH FRIED FISH it looked like 3-4 dinners in one! AND WAS INCREDIBLE its so delicious , the tarter sauce is so-so but hey! make your own if you dont like it",
"A very good & convenient take-out seafood restaurant & market. Quite clean and neat. with efficient service from an Asian (Viet) staff. The fresh seafood was well displayed and clearly fresh, as the staff was continuously scaling/cleaning fish to go on ice.\n\nGood variety of seafood choices....from Mullet to grouper, shrimp etc. Standard options for sides with excellent hush puppies, and superior breading on fried fish/shrimp. We had basa, catfish & shrimp....all very tasty and quickly served even though they were busy on a Friday night. Also you can have your seafood boiled or steamed, and fried rice is another option.\n\nThoroughly enjoyed it, and will undoubtedly be back for more.",
"I don't know what to make of this place. Based on the other reviews, we went quite out of our way to give this place a try. We got there about 7:30 in the evening and the only people around were drunks and vagrants. If you are timid about neighborhoods, don't go here at night.\n\nI decided to give it a try based on the excellent selection they had. Deciding to get something a little bit different, yet far from exotic, I went with the fried Sheepshead (fish) and my colleague ordered shrimp and scallops. Drinks are bottle and cans out of a cooler only.\n\nThe shrimp and scallops were ok, exceptionally bland, a bit heavy on the batter, but certainly edible. The quantity was ok; it came with fries and hushpuppies, neither of which was remarkable.\n\nMy fish was unfortunately the most disgusting piece of fried fish I have ever seen. It had bones, which was fine as I could eat around them and was warned, but it was VERY VERY VERY cooked, the breading looked burnt and it looked/smelled foul. I do not think the fish was bad, but it was almost prebreaded in a layer of old bay and then breaded for frying. It was very spicy and overcooked. It is a total shame that fish had to die to become that.\n\nThis is NOT the kind of place you can go and complain, but I gave it a shot. I was very nice and took the fish back to the counter, where the very kind, but not generous, young lady explained to me that had she taken my order, she would have warned me that most of their \"local\" customers complain if it is not spicy and burnt, that they \"like to eat the bones\" and like it that way. \"Had I seen you, I would have recommended something else.\" Like I said she was nice, but I was still screwed for dinner, she did not offer to make me something else, money back, free drink, anything. Just \"when you come next time...\" which is not likely to happen. The good news is that I was only out $6.50 for the meal and we did get out of there without getting mugged or having our car broken into.",
"Admittedly I don't get out much so my reviews may appear to be partial. It goes without saying that I am however, partial to courteous staff, good customer service, and ultimately good tasting food. That said, Blue Sea is officially a Fresh Sea Food Market which explains the interestingly outdated interior of the establishment. It is a fish market after all so my expectations were neither met nor exceeded, trust that I've seen worse. Nevertheless, what Blue Sea lacks in environment (as far as appearance is concerned) it excels in areas that matter. Blue Sea reminds me of the opening song for the 80s TV show \"Cheers\", it is nice to go to a place where everybody knows your name. The staff is always friendly, courteous and goes the extra mile in establishing a personal rapport with patrons like myself. The sea food is cooked to order and taste which is primarily the reason for my having been a regular of one of the best sea food joints in Tampa for the last year. While I enjoy (deep fried) Fish N Chips as much as anyone else, Broiled King Fish and Steamed Veggies is a personal favorite of mine. Fish on at Blue Sea!",
"Fresh fish and seafood, and delicious cooked menu (awesome value - they give you a lot of food) !! A must visit for me whenever I visit Tampa.",
"spotless, friendly, fresh, a great value, take home fresh or cooked, or eat in. all types of fish, great pamplet in color about all the fish ! best selection anywhere in town !",
"DAMN.\n\nThe grouper sandwiches were terrific. The seafood is incredibly fresh. And they give SO much. The sandwich has three decently-sized pieces --- you almost have to eat one of them with a fork, then take the other two and squeeze them between the bread. Where our party of four went wrong was deciding \"oh we should also get something to share\" and decided on the Fisherman's Platter (or whatever it's called --- the $18 one). People, this is a LOT of food. The platter alone was a huge container of a variety of fried seafood --- clam strips, scallops, tilapia, shrimp, plus hush puppies and french fries.\n\nPut it this way: if everyone in your party is ordering a sandwich and you still want to get the Fisherman's Platter for your group, your group really should have at least 8 people.\n\nIn retrospect: should've ordered my sandwich with broiled grouper instead of fried.",
"I'll pretty much echo the general consensus on this place...\n\nIf you think Chili's is the greatest restaurant in town, you might not like this place. \n\nThis is the seafood market that the locals eat at. It's decently taken care of, but in a pretty rough neighboorhood, and it smells like fish (Surprise!). My wife is a small light haired woman and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't go here alone, and I'd hesitate to send her alone.\n\nThat being said, I don't think I have found better fried seafood at just about any place you could name in town. Places like Shells and The Collenade are a joke in comparrison to the taste of the food. And the value here can not be beat ANYWHERE. That's a guarantee.\n\nClearly if they were in a better part of town, they could not hold the prices so low. But I'd love to see how well this place could do if their business model was adjusted.",
"I friend of mine recommend highly this place, and I am glad she did! Don't expect to be impressed with this place, but their sandwich is something else, I ordered the basa sandwich with tartar sauce, plus the clam chowder soup, it truly hit the spot! Yummy"

"I just tried Rib City for the 1st time. I wanted to like it. I had the chicken and pulled pork combo platter. Pork was excellent, but the chicken was very dry. I also was not impressed with any of their sauces. Not sure that I will try them again.",
"For a strip mall restaurant this place is amazing. My son had the pork steak special. He never used his knife. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich. Both had the baked beans and cole slaw. She was saying she wished she could make them at home. I had the smoked turkey salad. The smoke flavor in the turkey was just right. This is definitely worth coming back too",
"The bartender is awful. First time I ordered to go I sat at the bar and waited 20 minutes for my food. She never acknowledged me to offer a water, at least, while I waited 30 minutes for my mediocre BBQ. I never wanted to go back but my brother and I decided to try it out and same bartender was working. The place was empty and the bartender said they closed at 8pm, it was 7:58. She said we had two minutes. Their door clearly stated 9pm. My brother commented about it and she said no we definitely close at 8pm it's on the door. We left to never go back again. And I suggest no one else does for as long as she is working, plus like I stated before the food is mediocre at best.",
"rib city rules! we get catering to go all the time , and the manager - jesse is professional, fast and cares about her customers. the ribs fall off the bone and my wife , who always gets grossed out by fat, loves the ribs. they are tender and flavorful with little to no fat on them . all meat. \nthey make their pies - in house, instead of buying them pre made, they also smoke their own meats . who wants to go out to eat , just to have someone nuke your frozen dinner or thaw out a boxed pie ?( applebees) . \ntop notch service and food.",
"I could just scream. Really! I have been there, at least, a dozen times or more because they (were) so convenient.\n\nFirst, there are only five reviews here because they have relocated to a new location a few blocks east of West County Mall. Their previous location was a tad difficult to get to at the southwest corner of Manchester and I-270. \n\nRestarting this \"review\" database after several years of input from customers is irresponsible of Yelp, I think. It is the same operation.\n\nI have given up on anything but the baby back ribs, which run between good to excellent.\n\nI have tried the brisket, BBQ beef and pork, burnt ends, etc. All have been disappointing...usually dry...crumbly...grainy...very little \"pink\"...tasteless...buried in BBQ sauce, if it is a \"wet\" side...sometimes, small portions. Green beans - overcooked. Corn on the cob - tough and mushy. Cole slaw - boring. Baked beans - usually under cooked...no meat...boring.\n\nTheir pies are anything but homemade, as they advertise. Canned whipped cream. Factory made crust. Filling that has to have come out of a can. ASSEMBLING a pie, with marginal pieces and parts made elsewhere, is not homemade!\n\nThey seem to be staying afloat by $3 margaritas nights, $.50 beers on Wednesdays, emails promos, and so on.\n\nWhat I can not understand is WHY...WHY, oh, WHY, can not they see that their quality is so frigging mediocre? I keep going back because when I get an BBQ urge and they are convenient and $.50 is attractive, but it is clear that the cooks and management are just plain LAZY !!!",
"It's pork lover's heaven. I love their ribs that fall off the bone and into your mouth. They're wonderful. They also have the best pork steak ever and it's huge. You get a lot of meat for the price of the pork steak. I like their sweet potato fries, too.\n The chicken is only ok. Its nothing special. If you go, go for the pork, and you won't be disappointed. \n\nTheir pies are good most of the time, too.",
"Had the lunch Pork plate w 2 side. Pork was tender without a bunch of fat. Less than 8 bucks. Good value. I'm going back for the pork steak next.",
"The first time we went the food was excellent. Meat fell off the bones, and all tasted good. Could hardly wait to go back. Second trip not so much. Ribs were tough, seemed over cooked and almost burned. Had to gnaw on them to get any meat off. When someone came to ask how the meal was, we told him. He went to check on it, we never saw him again. Waitress was very good, worked hard. We won't be back.",
"This was our first time trying Rib City. The place is in. Strip mall so it's easy to miss . We were sat right away and I he an Extra cold blue moon in under 3 minutes!\nThe food came out super quick and piping hot!\nThey seem to be down at least a person or 2, I only saw one server running around and the bartender was helping him with his tables. Neither ever looked stressed.\nWe will defiantly come here again!\nGreat job!",
"Good BBQ. Okay service. Baked beans were horrible, but the BBQ was so good I'll be back."

"This was my first experience at a Famous Dave's, so I wasn't sure what to expect. \n\nThe Superb: The pork was moist, and the variety of BBQ sauces was impressive. The cornbread was also very tasty.\n\nThe Average: The waiter/bartender was very nice and did his job well. Prices are average.\n\nThe Horrid: The beef brisket was surprisingly tough and tasteless. The sides were all over-salted, and the corn was so overcooked it was chewy. \n\nI have definitely had better BBQ, and I am sure there are better places to try in the greater Nashville area. The saving grace of this trip was the pork and the BBQ sauce!",
"My wife and I ate at Famous Daves in Smyrna and found our \"favorite new restaurant\". My wife loves the bake potato with Chopped pork and I loved the All You Can EAt Catfish. I didn't know they served Catfish and when we went on Thursday..it was all you can eat Thursday. Food and Service were top notch. Music was fun and inviting. Servers looked like they enjoyed working there. We'll be back soon. On the way out I noticed something called Fireside Fridays where artist come and play music. Looks like Randy Moore is performing this week...he's local and awesome.",
"Love love love the rib tips! My two year old eats them! Usually no or not much wait. Good amounts of food also. Nice to take some home to eat tomorrow!",
"Came here for Sunday dinner after church. The restaurant was vert accommodating, being that we were a large party of 15, with no reservation. We were seated in about 10 minutes. \n\nThe food was really good. I didn't have high expectations being that it was a chain BBQ restaurant. While we looked thru the menu we were given potato chips so that we could sample all of the sauces. My husband and I ordered the feast for 2. It came with ribs, roasted chicken, and either chopped pork or beef brisket, two sides, corn and cornbread. It was all DELICIOUS and only $30! Check it out if you want inexpensive BBQ.",
"Some of the better BBQ i've had since moving to Nashville. Their pulled rivals any I've had. The ribs are also pretty good.. I had the Dr. Pepper monster rib (can't remember the specific name), I wasn't impressed with it. Everything else we've had has been very good though! Service has always been very good, food comes quick and the servers are solid.. We'll be back",
"Great atmosphere...I had my daughters graduation party in the side dining room. Food was fantastic...especially the beef brisket and ribs.\nWe loved our Service. Everyone had a great time. Good Value for sure. We'll be back soon.",
"This is the best chain BBQ place I have been to.\nI went here today for the first time and I am glad I did.\n\nThis place has Excellent food.\nWe got a 2 person sampler patter with several items on it and split it 3 ways...and there was still too much for us.\nhere is my opinions of what I tasted:\n\nChicken - excellent - the best I have had at a BBQ place\nRibs were good (I have had better...but these were good)\nBeef brisket was very good ( tender, flavorful, not fatty), \nPulled pork was good, \nFries - eh...did not really care for these\nCorn bread was really good, \nBaked beans were really good, \nCorn was fairly decent\nmy son said his cheese burger was excellent.\n\nthey had 6 sauces on the table so we could experiment with various flavors. I really liked most of these.\n\nService was above average - It did not take long to get a bunch of food.\nWaitress took care of us- she had lost her voice - but still did a great job.\nI liked the music and ambiance\n\nI will come here again and would recommend this to anyone and everyone.",
"If you are like me, you are skeptical of all chain restaurants. But when you are in Smyrna you don't have that many non-chain options and I've never tried a Famous Dave's so I wanted to give it a go.\n\nSaturday at 11:30AM this place was stone cold dead. Great - we were immediately seated and our waiter came out fast. He introduced himself as \"Famous Tony\" or whatever his name was. Hahahaha sure. Drink orders were taken fast. Sadly I was working so no alcohol but they do have a bar there if you want some booze.\n\nThe menu has things like pulled pork, brisket, chicken, and rib plates and then BBQ sandwiches, etc. There was also a pretty large selection of sides. I decided to get the combo ribs + pulled pork plate so I could try everything. It came with two sides and I chose the mac and cheese and the green beans. The plate also comes with a slice of bread under the pulled pork, a cornbread muffin or roll, and a small ear of corn on the cob. OMG heaven! So here's how it breaks down.\nRibs: I'm not a rib person and these didn't change my mind. Just ok.\nPulled pork: pretty damn good honestly. The sauce on the table called \"Devils spit\" was the perfect compliment. I really liked that sauce. Spicy but still thick and hints of sweetness. NOM NOM NOM.\nMac and cheese: 4 cheeses (I think it was 4) perfectly melty and creamy over macaroni. It also had little kernels of corn and little pieces of jalapenos in it!! OMG this was absolutely awesome.\nGreen beans: not only ham hock in ithem to give them flavor, but also little roasted potatoes.\nCorn: corn on the cob is always good.\nCornbread: sweet, moist, delicious\n\nI left here stuffed to the gills and pleased (and somewhat needing a nap). I didn't even deduct a star because Famous waiter boy forgot to bring us out chips while we waited because the food was pretty damn good. A+ chain!!",
"A dear friend of mine and I are both from Memphis. Famous Dave's has some wonderful RIB TIPS!!!!! I wanted to eat the mac and cheese so bad one day I went home looked for a recipe and made it at home. I have a witness... it was the bomb! HAHAHAHA",
"Famous Dave's...Brought my fiance here for mothers day and she thinks I am the man now!!!!\n.\nTHE GOOD: Man the food here is pretty good!! Being I'm from TX where I feel the State that created good Barbeque, this place can hold its on! Best Part is the cornbread mufins...mmmmm reminds me of grandma's cornbread! so good I ordered 3 to take home. The few selections of Barbeque sauce were not very impressive but to each his own. They give you a choice of barbecue sauce to take home which i think is pretty kool. Prices not to bad, paid about $30 bucks for 3 of us but we also had appetizers and extra cornbread...:)!\n\nTHE BAD: Hard as hell wooded seats so its a good thing the food makes up for it!...other then that I will return!"

"It may be commercial (and I never knew it was a chain), but the food is divine. Particular favorites include the lettuce wraps, as always, and the Ma Po tofu and Chang's spicy chicken. I've never had a bad meal here. Of particular note is the wine list which includes some New Zealand favorites (Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is worth a try, although a gewurtztraminer might pair better with spicy Chinese food.)",
"Great place for outdoor dining and people watch...food is always dependable...my favs: chicken with butter lettuce cups :-)",
"I admit, Tucson is desperate for Asian cuisine. The tacky, Pier 1 Imports-inspired pseudo-Asian decor should be clue enough that this is *not* the solution. I am mystified as to why there is always a ridiculously long wait except that it seems that they are perpetually short-staffed; as a result, the servers are noticeably (and understandably) frazzled. I tried a different dish everytime a social event forced me to eat here and nothing ever transcended mediocrity. Any resemblance to actual Chinese cuisine has been obliterated in the American translation, resulting in a sort of Blandese whose only flavor is derived from excessive amounts of soy sauce. The food is obscenely overpriced; expect surprises on your bill like $8-$9 drinks. \n\nAll in all, you can get a better Chinese meal out of the freezer at Safeway. Spare yourself the pain.",
"I give this pretentious place two stars because of the salt and pepper calamari. It is an amazing dish that I could eat everyday.",
"Went here a few weeks ago. Not impressed. Welcome to the world of \"safe\", non-threatening Asian-inspired food, started by a white guy in Scottsdale AZ. I suspect that the same folks who are impressed by the food here also think that things like Panda Express' Orange Chicken is \"amazing\". Save your money for a trip to a real Chinese restaurant.",
"We went here with my parents because PF Chang's is one of very few restaurants that has a gluten free menu.\n\nNormally it is hard to go out to eat because a lot of servers and cooks aren't familiar with Celiac disease (http://www.celiac.org/cd-main.php) and they often don't get how important it is to ensure something doesn't have gluten in it. (it is getting much better though) \n\nThe food was pretty good, certainly not the best asian food we've ever had, but it was respectable. \n\nIf it weren't for the gluten free menu, I would have given it 3 stars, but it gets the extra star for having a gluten free menu. The person who had the gluten free dish said it was great.",
"I haven't had the pleasure of dining here yet so I will keep that 5th star in my pocket for now! I ordered takeout from PF Chang's yesterday and they had great service [: The restaurant is a nice size and the only of its chain in the Tucson area. They're pretty far up north from where I live so sadly I've had to go without eating their food ever since I moved. I went from living right by my favorite restaurant to living on the other side of the city ]: I finally gave in to my long term cravings and ordered Beef Lo Mein and Spicy Green Beans with white rice. The food was excellent and I enjoyed every bit of it! I can't wait to actually dine in here [:",
"I live in Phoenix and we have one of these restaurants nearby, but it took a trip to Tucson to meet friends for lunch to finally try the place.\n\nRIght up front, I'm usually a lot happier with a local eatery than a chain restaurant, but I've got to give kudos to Chang's. They have very good food, a pleasing atmosphere, and very good service.\n\nAll in all among the four of us, we tried three different dishes and two different soups. The entrees were all quite good, though the hot and sour soup was apparently a bit too hot.\n\nI wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to go to one of the chain Chang's, but I certainly won't avoid them, either.",
"Good service, good food! It is what it is, pre-pared but you can't fine dine all the time;)",
"I had dinner at this establishment Saturday night...and just like the one in Chicago...this location was first class. We arrived for dinner at about 8:30 and only had to wait about 15 minutes to be seated. The ambiance was great...the service impeccable and the food...simply delicious. I had the Chicken lettuce wraps to start...and the chicken was simply some of the best i have every had. I had PF Chang's Fried rice with chicken added...which is always great at any PF Chang's that i have ever been to...for my Entree'.\n\nMy wife had the Lo Mein...which was seasoned very well and very moist not dry like you can get it at other Chinese restaurants. Now dessert was also first class...we had Banana Egg rolls. That's right fresh cut banana's in a crispy batter...with fresh strawberry's, blackberry's,& raspberry's on the side. Vanilla ice cream in the middle of the plate with rolls surrounding them drizzled in Carmel and Vanilla sauce....mmmmmmmmmmm. Yeah i know it sounds outstanding...and trust me it was.\n\nSo if your ever in Tucson...or anywhere around the country and you want GREAT Chinese food....with GREAT service....and also a GREAT 7 DAYS a week HAPPY HOUR....then look no further than PF Chang's. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry my Friends!!!!!"

"Chef Cam Boudreaux is opening a second stand-alone Killer Poboys a block and a half from the original one inside the Erin Rose Bar! It will feature a larger menu of their infamously insanely delicious new school Poboys plus a breakfast menu! Congrats to their successful soft opening this week and I can't wait to eat at their new location!",
"Husband had a shrimp poboy, which he loved. I had the grilled cheese and it was the best grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had.",
"Poboy omelet! To die for! The location is amazing. It's swanky and super cool and the staff is passionate. A definite must have in the quarters!",
"Not your Pawpaw's poboy shop but who cares. Even us locals like diversity so I don't think this is just for tourists. Although as a native I'm hardly ever in that block of Dauphine. So hooray for good vegetarian, vegan even!, food in the FQ! The roasted sweet potato poboy is huge. Very tasty. The black eyed pea spread could be a bit more seasoned but the bottle of Crystals hot sauce on the table fixed that. I loved my roasted cauliflower sandwich, \"not a poboy\", on whole grain sliced bread. I think it would be better on poboy bread because with the Romesco sauce, pecan spread and avocado it was messy and a bit wet and maybe poboy bread could contain it better. But that was a seriously delicious sandwich especially with some kale and there was another crunchy vegetable on it but I forgot. I give 5 stars for good food, local chips and sodas and a super nice guy at the counter!",
"Searching for a vegetarian PoBoy brought us here. They are a small nice place. Very friendly. The sweet potato poboy is good. I did need to add a bit of hot sauce as my tongue was craving for some hotness. The sandwich was decent sized and was filling.",
"I love that they have a vegetarian/vegan option in the sweet potato poboy. I enjoyed it but I found it a bit bland and overpriced. I would be ok with the price if it were more flavorful. I've never actually had a \"real\" poboy so maybe those are bland too, I have no idea!",
"Super good sandwiches. This location is open longer hours (and also on Mondays!) than the other location. They also accept credit cards and since it's not located in the back of a bar, kids are welcome. We tried the roast beef (DELICIOUS), shrimp (almost like a vietnamese banh mi), omelet (SUPER GOOD), and bbq chicken (eh, all right). Great place to go, especially with family.",
"Parking in the French Quarter is the biggest PITA, so sometimes I park in Treme if I just have a short meeting to go to. Today I ended up on Dauphine St. and I noticed Killer Poboys, which I thought was in a bar, but apparently now they have a bigger place with more options! Cool! I got two Cheese Egg Ham Poboys one for me and one for the guy I was meeting. Those Poboys melt in your mouth but the bread is really crunchy just like it's supposed to be. The owner was really cool I will be back!",
"Good news Killer Poboys fans! Now you can get KPB in two awesome spots. The old location in the back of the Erin Rose is still open in the afternoon/evening, and now a larger stand alone shop on Dauphine (just around the corner!) is serving up breakfast and lunch.\n\nI loved the old KPB and I love the new one. Maybe even more, because I know I'll have a seat. (Even if this means I have to get the frozen Irish coffee at the Erin Rose later) One of the absolute standouts on the menu is the omelet poboy. If you think that a breakfast poboy just won't satisfy your poboy itch, you're wrong. Try it, you'll have a hard time ever eating anything else again. \n\nFor those of you who aren't familiar with KPB: This isn't your traditional fried seafood/roast beef poboy joint. Yes, those places are great. But this place is pretty damn special too. Vegetarians, this is your spot! Finding a veggie friendly poboy is no easy thing, and there are a few really great options here.\n\nPro Tip: The cookies are great too!",
"If you want opposite of a po boy this is your place. Mierda ala mode. Though the almond soda was good lol"

"Jasmine has excellent Chinese and Japanese food. This biggest reason people go to this place is because the staff is so friendly. Wendy and Jeff are very popular with the customers. They know everyone. If you enjoy hot tea they have three choices; oolong, green and my favorite jasmine. My favorite dish is the Mad Cow. It is a steak that is served table side on a hot sizzling plate and the sauce that it comes with has a little zing to it. If you are looking for a tasty appetizer then get the lettuce wraps. Jasmine's menu is very eclectic. They serve Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and Korean food. I would suggest making reservations on Friday and Saturday nights.",
"I love Jasmine - we probably get it for take out at least a couple of times a month. The menu is incredibly varied with numerous healthy and vegetarian options. My favorite? \"Tofu and vegetables in casserole.\" His favorite? Usually Sushi, which he says is great. Dining room is spacious and the staff is a joy. Not expensive, I think we're usually safely under $40 for two.",
"Great place to eat. Good food, friendly staff, and always something new to try. I liked all of the special sushi's. Also, Had the Pad Thai.",
"We are so lucky to live so close to Jasmine! The food is amazing and the atmosphere could not be more welcoming. My husband and I are here or get take out at least once a week. We love the pad thai, the family style chicken and steak, and the sushi is amazing!",
"Quick, friendly service and a lunchtime bento box containing a yummy teriyaki, a huge scoop of rice, 4 lovely pieces of fresh California roll, salad with a zippy ginger dressing, a crispy spring roll AND a bowl of soup? For only $8.95?\n\nYes, please.",
"Wendy & Jeffrey treat you like family when you step into Jasmine. The menu includes a well executed eclectic mix of standards from vietnamese, chinese, thai and japanese cuisine. Whether it be comfort food like my favorite Cantonese chicken rice noodle soup or upscale fusion that you seek, the kitchen never disappoints. Bring a six pack or a bottle of wine and be prepared to smile.",
"I love Jasmine! Being a Medford native, I have been going there for years with both my friends and family. My fondest memory of Jasmine is when my two best friends and I went for dinner, and my one friend had raved about how good the cold sesame noodles were. To his dismay when he ordered them they said they could not make them because he was the only one who ordered them that night (I guess they make them in big batches only) and because of the difficulty or something, I don't know. Well anyway he was really disappointed and hard pressed to pick another dish, so when they came back to take our order the owner came out with our waiter and informed my friend that they would be making the noodles special for him. He was so happy, let me tell you. And as always, they were delicious. \n\nSo in summary, really good Chinese food, super friendly owner and wait staff, very accommodating and attentive. Even their non-Chinese dishes are delicious. I recommend the Vietnamese Hot and Sour Soup and the Vietnamese Style Vermicelli if you're in the mood for something different. Yummy!",
"Took my aunt to Jasmine for her birthday yesterday and had sushi there for the first time. Might I say it's pretty damn good. If you're into spicy try the volcano roll. I must have drank two glasses of water while eating that stuff. Delicious!",
"Good, fresh Chinese food, \nChinese cuisine, is not sushi. \nMinus the 1 star.\nIf you want sushi, go to a Japanese restaurant.",
"Jasmine is a very nice place. I have ate in and taken out many times. My sushi is always fresh. It's not worth making a special trip to go to, but a worthy stop."

"OK, this is the Jason's Deli that I was accustomed to in Georgia. This location just opened and far surpasses the other location in town. \n\nThe service was very friendly. The manager stopped by the table to see how everything was. The food was fresh and tasted wonderful. I am pleased to see this Jason's operating up to the standards of the Jason's Deli name.",
"This is the Jason's Deli that I remember from living in Atlanta. The food is very good and the service is good, too. It always seems busy at lunch so make sure you get there early (by 11:30) or you may have issues finding a table. However, the staff clears tables as quickly as they open up so hopefully your wait won't be too long.\n\nEnjoy!",
"First time there today at the new Jason's which opened in August in Carmel. As a new vegan and trying to go gluten-free, I was pleased to see the many selections on their menu. The basil tomato soup was wonderful. The salad bar was fresh and stocked with a nice array of veggies and also nuts and muffins. The staff is professional and helpful: friendly from the first greeting, servers & mgt. who check on you and clear your plates. The place is clean. Prices are reasonable for an all you can eat salad for $7 and change, plus .99 for a cup of soup. Can't wait for the one they plan to open at 86th & Ditch as I was told. If you want healthy, fresh and fast, you should go.",
"This place is awesome! I have only been here a few times, but each time has been great. There menu is quite large and everything looks tasty. They also have a HUGE salad bar. Their menu also contains a lot of organic items, their grilled chicken is anti-biotic free and they also have a gluten free menu. I stopped by the new one in Carmel during it's opening week. Although the line was out the door, we got in quickly and our food was served in a timely manner. Great place for a quick and tasty lunch! You should go now!",
"Great food and fast. Very busy at lunch",
"Great food and fast. Very busy at lunch though, get there before 12 and you should be fine. Love the rueben!",
"Awesome food, very courteous and fast service. I'm trying to go for more veggie choices and it was ready to do here with good choices.\n\nDon't worry meat lovers, lots of great choices for you too!",
"Amazingly tasty, and healthy, food. Sometimes I feel like its a bit overpriced, but the quality is second to none. Fruit plate is amazing, the soups are okay, and the salad bar is nice too (that is high praise coming from a guy that does not like salads either).",
"Wow Wow and more Wow's! I am so in love with this deli. I have been twice and I am so thrilled with all of the menu choices. They even deliver to homes around the area and businesses. However let's get back to the food. From wraps, to oh so yummy Reubens to grilled Zuchinni panninis...this is the place! Deli Dill pickles are free at the salad bar and you can munch on as many as you please and did I mention Free Ice Cream without hydrogenated corn syrup!!!??? Plus dark chocolate syrup if that suits your fancy... Also, an amazing salad bar that is always fresh. I highly recommend giving this place a try!",
"Once again \"Amazing\""

"Went there for lunch with the family. Most dishes are around $10, for which you get a halfway decent snack. My butternut squash and scallop ravioli turned out to be three raviolis with one scallop and a LOAD of tomato cream that tasted like unflavored jello. Normal portions and \"just right for lunch\" portions are indeed just right ... if you're my 92 year old grandmother who's full after three ounces of salmon and half a tomato.\n\nEDIT: this place truly sucks.",
"I am visiting Tucson and my friend brought me here for breakfast the morning I arrived. We both ordered french toast plates. I had the Mixed Berry Pain Perdu - stuffed French toast with bacon and eggs. The food was excellent, the filling was sweet enough with out being over powering. The wait staff was very friendly and courteous and even though the restaurant was busy being a Sunday morning we were not left waiting for service.\n\nThe restaurant is very clean and attractive. I get the feel of a French bistro.\nWe went back a second time to eat here and the food and service was just as good. This time was the middle of week.",
"Everytime I've eaten at Mimi's it's been a good experience. Today I tried the albacore tuna sandwich on a buttered baguette with French fries (which were a little cooled off and tough...bummer) and apple crisp dessert all for $9.99. Unlike Claim Jumper, the portions are reasonable in size and very tasty.\nIt's a nice, quiet, clean place to enjoy a variety of comfort food offered by friendly servers. \nI will definitely come here again.",
"Always great & timely service! Fresh muffin, salad, & OJ!\nNice decor inside.\nSign up for their online newsletter and get a free breakfast entree when you order a breakfast entree.",
"Myself and a friend went to breakfast at mimi's today. Very disappointed. If we did not have mimosas we would have got up and left. \n\nThe eggs Benedict had a broken and flavorless hollandaise, the ham underneath was 1/2 inch thick, fatty and gross. I had two bites. My friend had the country fried steak, which we were told was hand breaded, but after tasting the super salty tendony steak, it either came from a box or they suck making chicken fried steak.\n\nWorse was that it took 1/2 hour to get our breakfast, and during that time we noticed the dirty nature of their dining room. If children come and eat, you must clean the floor. Dirty napkins, cheerios and other crap on the floor are disgusting. People complained to the manager and she did nothing.\n\nThe rest of the staff was kind, if poorly managed, and the mimosas were pretty good.\n\nA short three mile drive will get you to Le Buzz. The food there is outstanding!",
"I'm having hard time describing the service I received at Mimi's.\nI guess because it really wasn't service. It was the most rushed experience I've ever had. The server came to the table and without saying hello, asked us for the drink order. Brought our drinks, took our food order. Came back refilled my drink. Came to apologize for the long wait for the food. Brought our food and left.\nNow, I'm a super fast eater! I can eat most meals in under 5 minutes. I hate that about me, and you're probably wondering what this has to do with the awful service, well I had eaten ONE of the TWO tacos that came with my meal, which translates to about 2 minutes after receiving my food. AND THE SERVER BROUGHT ME THE CHECK!!!!!!!!\nWhy do some servers do this? It wasn't lunch during a weekday. It was lazy sunday at 2:00pm.\nI had 2 kids with me, that had barely touched their food.\nI had fish tacos, and I was presented with the check, yet I wasn't asked if our meals were good. Or if I cared for some lemon with my tacos and shouldn't you serve fish tacos with lemon anyways. They sure could have used some.\nThe check, presented to me when I still have plates full of food, is a major NO-NO! Did I mention I paid an extra dollar for a cup of soup that I never got, and that while my kids were still eating their food, I was asked if I was ready to pay... well I wasn't but I did mention about my soup and asked to have the extra dollar adjusted... I was told the extra dollar was for my drink.\nI like Mimi's even though it's a chain, I can generally get a decent meal here.",
"So, today was a free day and we decided to go to a matinee and have a late lunch. We chose Mimi's and sorry to say, but it was the wrong choice. I was so disappointed with so many things that I don't even know where to start. \n\nWe were greeted by a young man shortly after we walked in and asked for a table. He proceeded to tell us that he didn't know if there was a table available because they were getting full--it was 3:30 on a Wednesday afternoon--there were hardly any people in the place! So without hesitation, he takes us into one of the dining areas, which was more that 1/2 empty and seats us at a table that was crowded between 2 occupied tables. He put the menus on the table and walked away. We were not happy with that table and since there were other tables available, we called him back and asked if we could sit at a table a few spaces away. He should have asked if the table was okay in the 1st place. \n\nIt was about 10 minutes later when someone offered to get us a beverage and then another 10 minutes before a waitress came to take our order. It turns out that there was only 1 waitperson to handle the entire place until the next shift came on. Luckily, a waitress came in early and things picked up a bit. We ordered our meals, mahi mahi tacos and blue cheese and walnut salad. The waitress then asked what side we would like with the tacos--coleslaw or french fries??? That was kinda strange and she realized that she did not know what sides were offered (probably after seeing our perplexed faces) and said that she would go check. She returned after a few minutes and said that it came with beans and she couldn't remember what else. My salad came with a muffin and she proudly asked what kind I would like and recited the different flavors. \n\nAs we waited to be served our meal--it took about 30 minutes--I noticed that the interior looked very dingy, dusty and needed a good cleaning. I also noticed that at 54, I was the youngest patron in the place, oh my! \n\nOur meals finally came......my salad (I ordered the small size) was humongous, it looked good and would have tasted great if the greens would have been fresh/crisp and not starting to wilt. The tacos (2) were small in size and disappointing. They did come with a small pot of black beans, which were okay. \n\nThe best part of our experience was the beverages. We had iced tea and lemonade--no big deal, however, they made sure we always had a fresh drink and never let us run dry. \n\nI think it is time to re-think Mimi's :(",
"7/14/2011: I came here for supper - water with lemon, Caesar salad, grilled shrimp & asparagus ravioli, breads, apple cinnamon crisp (one of the Provencal petite meals for $14). This Mimi's Cafe is near the Park Place Mall on Tucson's east side, and today was Bastille Day - Mimi's was offering two free muffins to take home in celebration.\n\nThe service is good. There's a nice selection of breads, something for everyone. The petite serving size is just right - not huge but enough to take some home for another meal, especially after having eaten the salad first ; ) My main course consisted of eight grilled shrimp with thinly-sliced asparagus and ravioli (cheese and spinach inside, I think) and a creamy tomato sauce with nice seasoning but a little more salt than I like.\n\nA friend and I have met here for breakfast several times, and that is one spotty mealtime in terms of service and food. I don't choose to have breakfast here any more. Lunch and supper seem to run more smoothly.\n\nAs regards decor - it's a cross between the New Orleans French Quarter and French country. There are several different rooms plus an outdoor patio; the French Quarter centers in the room directly in front of you when you enter the restaurant while the French country is scattered around the other rooms.",
"This particular location of the chain restaurant is superior to the rest.\n\nMimi's is an eclectic mix of cafe, family comfort, and elderly couples retreat for weekly date nights style restaurant.\n\nFriendly and prompt service.\nComplimentary bread is a basket of variety.\nEverything you come to love and expect from a chain.\nOnly complaint is that there are zero-one choices for a vegetarian and only an additional one or two for a pescatarian such as myself.\n\n3.5 stars",
"Went there because we had a gift card. I rather have spent money elsewhere.\n\nService was slow, we were 2 of 6 people there.\n\nThe cornedbeef hash was 80% shredded onions."

"Just had the Guy Fieri tacos and they were great. Very hot and tasty.\n\nThe vibe is very casual and friendly. The menus has tacos, burritos, quesadillas and more. The ingredients tasted very fresh.\n\n I can't wait to come back and try more.",
"Honestly, this place rocks! Glad to have the Skipper Road icon now in St. Pete! Best tacos in Tampa Bay! Don't expect anything but great food at a great price in a fun atmosphere!",
"Nearly 30 mins after ordering they delivered two tacos loaded high with cabbage and tomatoes. The food was well cooked and were densely packed with high quality, fresh meats and veggies. But considering I ordered hot, the amount of spice was lacking.",
"Very disappointing. I had very high hopes for this new addition to 4th St. as I live only a couple blocks away. I assumed that they were confident in their product since they opened up almost directly across from Tijuana Flats and Chipotle. Unfortunately, they can't compete. \n\nThe food was bland. I am a big fan of \"hot\"...but my burrito was hot for hot's sake. Tacos were bland and chips needed lots of additional salt (they seem to only have one shaker behind the counter) to wake up any flavor. \n\nI really was rooting for this place. I don't think I'll be giving it a second chance.",
"Went here a while back when it was just opening and have tried it a few more times since then. The food has been pretty good every time we went. The guac serving is small and over priced, but the pork burrito more than made up for it. The vegetarian options were decent. I am not a fan of the picnic style bench seats that you share with every body there. They added a soda machine, but it sits too high on the counter that you always overflow your cup. They have some room to improve on the place itself, but the food is above average.",
"I was driving down 4th St. N looking for something else and I saw that California Tacos has expanded! I was excited because it's always a treat when I have time to stop for a fish taco at the one on Bearss. \n\nMy first time giving this one a shot and let me start by saying they are incredibly INCREDIBLY slow. Next time if I want to stop here I'll be sure to call ahead. \n\nI ordered one grouper fish taco hot with a side of rice and beans. Rice was OK and the beans (pinto beans) were so-so but they could use some loving in the seasoning department. If you don't like spicy DO NOT get the hot. My lips are still burning...but in a good way lol.\n\nI would say once they speed up the service and listen to some of the feedback they'll be ok. We don't want Guy Fieri coming back and taking all his kudos away from California Tacos. I'll probably come back because the fish tacos are delish and I only need one to be full.",
"So I just want to start by pointing out that I haven't written a review on a place in at least a year...but was compelled to do so based on my experience at California Tacos To Go this evening....\nLike many other reviewers I had high hopes for this place. It looks cool, has a cool name, is on a cool street....but the food left much to be desired. AND we were the only people there ordering at the time and they still messed up my order. \n\nI ordered tacos and a side of rice and beans. The taco innards were pretty good, but the corn tortillas (only option apparently) were soggy and completely falling apart. I couldn't even hold the taco up to eat it because it just split through the bottom...so I ate it like a weird salad. \nThe rice was fine, nothing to write home about. The beans though! The poor beans...They were just terrible. I've never refused to eat my side of beans at a Mexican restaurant and I shunned these bland beans like a snobby kid in middle school. No salt, no seasoning....just canned bean flavor insulting my mouth. \n\nWorst of all, it cost us about $20 for myself and my boyfriend and we didn't even get drinks. \n\nThis place has some big balls to be charging these prices and serving this bland food with both Chipotle and Tijuana Flats staring at them from across the street. Not the mention at least 3 other amazing Mexican/Taco places within a 3 mile radius. \n\nMy suggestions to this place are to step up the seasoning and salt, offer flour or crunchy taco shells instead of just soggy corn, and cook your meat like you're serving someone's Mexican Abuela. (Forgot to mention my dining partner said the pork was tough and bland). \n\nOk, that is all. Good luck California Tacos. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.",
"I was really excited to finally get access to California Burritos here in st pete. Unfortunately, they leave a lot to be desired. Their tortillas are definitely not homemade, more like what you buy in publix, and to me that is one of the most important parts of a good burrito. The carne asada was not very flavorful and cut in way too large of chunks, and there was barely and pico in the whole thing. Better tortillas and more pico would be enough to bump it up to a 4 star though.",
"California tacos was okay, the service was good although very slow. The tacos were nothing special although the grouper taco had a great flavor. I was disappointed with the Cali fries; on the menu stated pile of chips and fries, guac, meat, etc...there was no chips in the pile and when I asked the staff they said they don't put chips in it anymore(menu still stated it did). No beer available with your tacos.",
"The grouper taco and burrito are solid, though the tortillas are obviously store bought. Service is decent, cinnamon water is forgettable. At this point it's still a new business and has some kinks to work out, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it again."

"fabulous dinner buffet! I was impressed with the malai kofte, one of my favorite dishes, and I'm so happy to have great Indian delivery in the neighborhood.",
"Delicious, affordable Indian buffet! Even better than its predecessor, Samosa. The food was fresh and flavorful, our server/hostess was polite and friendly, and the renovated dining room is lovely and welcoming. I'm looking forward to going back as soon as possible and would recommend Saffron to anyone looking for great Indian food at a great price.",
"This is great food. This is my new lunch spot. Low price. Delicious and healthy food. Very nice staff. Convenient location. Beautiful interior design. I recommend it.",
"A wonderful surprise! Popped in on a cold snowy day for a very late lunch. The buffet was wonderful: fresh and tasty. I've since been back and the a la carte food did not disappoint! Sandra, the owner, is a wonderful and accommodating host. This may be the best authentic Indian food in the city right now.",
"Was walking around Philly on a Saturday afternoon looking for something to eat and saw $8.95 for an all you can eat Indian buffet? Don't mind if I do. \n\nThe place was nice enough looking, with a couple small groups of people. The buffet consisted of several indian dishes, 2 different rices, and about 3 chicken dishes and the rest vegetarian. There was also a salad buffet with American items such as jello and junk. \n\nAlso this place is BYOB, like many places in Philly (If you are not from familiar with Philly and like to have a drink, carry a back pack full of booze, lots of BYOB place, but not many liquor stores)",
"I have the delivery from Saffron right in front of me. I decided to stop eating to write this review. Partly because I'm mad, party because I can't stomach any more of it.\n\nThe food is horrible. The only things that was edible was the Chicken Banjara. However, it was described as \"very hot\" but was not spicy at all - if anything it was bland. The Baingan Bharta (eggplant) tasted bad and made me gag. I could eat some of the rice - the some that wasn't dried and clumped together. The cucumber \"salad\" was a joke - all it was huge chunks of tomato, onion and cucumber cut up together. There was no sort of dressing or even spices as far as I could tell. The naan was neither good nor bad. The mango lassi looks like it was made fresh but its too thick and the consistency is weird.\n\nI used to order from the place that was here before Saffron (San Samosa) every now and again. They weren't my favorite, but they were better than this. The food from Saffron came pretty quickly but it is clear why - it's not freshly cooked.",
"Hubby and I were out looking for some grub on a recent night and came upon this place. We checked out the buffet and the items looked appetizing, so we decided to sit down (the sign in the front instructed us to sit ourselves). The place was mostly empty except for two other people. So we found a table for four and tried to sit down, only to be rudely prevented by the(assumed) proprietor who told us we could not sit there, since we weren't a party of four. I would have been fine with that if the restaurant had been even half occupied. However, there was only one other party of two in the whole restaurant, SITTING AT A TABLE FOR FOUR, so I was barely persuaded. Nonetheless we sat down to enjoy our food. To top that off, another lone customer walked in and sat by himself at a table of four, and the same manager/proprietor had no problem with that. Maybe because we weren't ethnically Indian/Pakistani and they were?\n\nFood was okay- the only semi-decent part of the experience. Tandoori chicken wasn't too dry but well-seasoned and fairly tender, there were various chutnies and a salad with huge chunks of cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions, daal, and two different types of rice. \n\nWe liked the food and would have definitely gone back in the future, since there are very few reasonably-priced, good Indian places in Center City. \n\nToo bad the proprietor didn't have the capacity to make that happen.",
"I love the flavors of this Indian food and the buffet price! I have sampled food from all the lunchtime Indian buffets within walking distance to my work, and this is my new favorite lunch spot. Nice choices for both meat eaters and vegetarians, great flavors. Warm, fresh naan bread brought to you after you sit down. There is also free WIFI. I'll be back.",
"This place is great. Low prices, really great food, and a welcoming, homie atmosphere. I can't wait to go back with my friends.",
"Finally got to stop here for some food, as I work in the area but rarely can get away from work long enough to sit down someplace. \n\nAs lunch buffets go, this one was absolutely delicious! While the choices were minimal, the food was definitely flavorful. It was spiced nicely without being overpowering (or mouth-burning). Definitely worth the price spent! The decor is nothing extra special, but that's not what I go to a restaurant for in the first place.\n\nFor the modest price, it filled me up nicely!"

"Fantastic table service taqueria food next to the French Market. Everything was fresh and delicious. As a long standing Mission eater, I was thrilled when the waitress told me tortillas were fresh, even more so when I got my food and found out they are made to order. Unbreaded fish in the tacos was a little crispy while still being tender. Simple, un-goopy food. Salsas and toppings served on the side. Also had the carrot and lime margarita - simply outstanding. Only sweetener was the freshly squeezed limes and carrots. $40 for drinks, food, tax and tip.\n\nDelightful service and charming decor round out the experince.",
"OMG! I dont drink Margarita's....ever. However, my friend loves them here and convinced me to give one a try...Pinapple Cilantro Margaritas no less. Holy cow! Goodness in a glass! The food was fantastic and I cant wait to go back.",
"This was the dinner stop on my birthday tour of the FQ, and I must express my deepest thanks to the yelp community for leading me to to this place. \n\nBesides having a cool name and logo, this place is in fact a great restaurant. They have an open kitchen so you can see the magic happen, and a kick-ass tequila/margarita/mohito menu. The wife had a pomegranate mohito and loved it. I was tempted by the tequila menu, but realizing that there were still another bar to hit on the way back to the streetcar stuck to beer.\n\nFood-wise, to keep things simple we stuck to tacos: steak, chorizo, and fish. All very tasty, but the standout was of course the chorizo. Damn I love pork products.\n\nOh, does not take AmEx.",
"I think I had been hyped up a bit for this place, and while it was pretty solid, it was by no means amazing.\n\nThe margaritas are good-- not quite cosmic in splendor. (Also, they don't salt them NEAR enough.) The flavored margaritas are also good, just not quite surprising or intense enough to be interesting after the first one. The space would be better if it were more of a dive; as it is, it feels unfinished and too...bright (also a big peeve of mine).\n\nI am obsessed with mole sauces, and while the menu description boasted all of the requisite ingredients (cacao, chile powder, etc..) the overall effect was just... so-so. Their ceviche? Also.... good. If this place were just a bit cheaper, it would be a total winner. \nWhat is that place next to the Bull Dog on Magazine? I hate to say, but it's better than Gato Negro.",
"One of my favorites to fall back on when all else fails, and one of my favorites to go to regardless of other plans.\nI love the food here and at least it's of quality and taste and portions.\n\nCenter cut pork chops, Burrito's , Tacos, all very good - this place is a must do.",
"You have to try the Pineapple-cilantro margaritas. I did not even eat here, but got one of these on my stroll through the nearby french market. It was so good I went back with friends that night.",
"You know how whenever you order fajitas at a mexican restaurant you almost always get the same thing? It's good, but nobody seems to go the extra mile? Well El Gato Negro does. I got fajitas that not only had the requisite meat, bell peppers, onions, but also tomato, mushrooms, and WHOLE CLOVES OF ROASTED GARLIC!!! So good! The chicken was also cooked perfectly - I saw the middle of the breast cook through in front of my eyes on the skillet. No dry meat here! I didn't try the margaritas, I don't like my tequila covered up with all that sugar. They have an impressive tequila selection, but it's way pricey. Overall, everything is a bit pricey, although portions are large. Why does tequila have to be so damned expensive? I can't afford $8-9 bucks a shot. Anyway, this is a cool place with great food. Check out the blue-lit little patio in the back at night - very surreal.",
"I've actually only been here once, and didn't try any of their food, but sweet juicy lords, their margaritas are awesome! I want to wake up next to them and lick their sweet salted glass. We were told by our waitress that they make their own sweet and sour mix here using freshly squeezed fruits, and perhaps, and this is my own personal opinion, the rainbow shine from a Care Bear's belly. We tried the pineapple cilantro lime margarita and the tangerine and lime margarita, and both were incredible. They've got other interesting flavors too of course, including a carrot one, but I'll try that and the others next time... oh yes, there will definitely be a next time. It may involve a sombrero and Professor Coldheart, to test my theory of course. We're not actually friends.\n\nAlso, another great thing about this place is its location right across from the French Market. With outdoor seating, you can enjoy your surroundings while bathing your mouth in the oh so sweet nectar provided by \"the black cat\" which I guess works in the back for catnip and canine hookers until it gets its big break on YouTube. I'm sure at that point it will venture off to a life of Celebreality TV, and their once great margaritas will suffer the consequences... So do me a favor and avoid watching anything cat related on YouTube. Ever.",
"carrot and lime margaritas! i was skeptical, but damn, it was tasty. i haven't had a mixed drink i wanted to write home about in a long time.\n\nwe had fresh guacamole, made at our table. a little gimmicky approach, but it's all good.\n\nthe food was expensive for hole-in-the-wall-ish mexican food, but decent. it's typical french quarter in terms of where price meets quality, but i'd go back here again to have a drink on the patio and people watch.",
"Really excellent margaritas, made with fresh juices. The classic lime is actually lime juice, not sour mix, and the satsuma/lime and cilantro/pineapple were exceptional.\nFrom the complimentary tri-color chips with chorizo salsa to the giant, definitely-taking-home-leftovers pulled pork burrito, everything tasted super fresh and delicious.\nWith the option to sit outside right across from the bustling French Market on a beautiful spring evening, El Gato Negro is definitely a place I would recommend to visitors and locals alike."

"I drove up to Skyline intent on stopping into Hiroba for dinner, my favorite sushi place in the city. But surprise, surprise, it is not Hiroba anymore! Instead, the sign read Sushimi's, and I was at a loss. But, not being one to pass up on sushi, I walked through the door.\n\nEntering, it was clear a lot has changed. But then, a lot appeared to have also stayed the same. I was greeted with the same welcoming shouts from the staff behind the bar, and I certainly noticed a few familiar faces still working the line and assisting customers. Getting seated at the bar straight away, I ordered my appetizers, and then looked about at some of the new changes. As of now, it is clear they are in the midst of a thorough renovation. The walls are freshly painted and pretty stark, not many fixtures installed, equipment and cash registers placed wherever there is some free counter space or an empty corner. However, these sorts of things I can mostly look past, as most businesses go through this sort of stuff when starting up or revamping themselves. (But guys, seriously, getting seated right next to the portable AC unit certainly would not have been my first choice of location.) So considering the changes as a whole, the scene did stoke the fire under the burning question forming in my mind; 'when did this all happen?'\n\nFrom the story I got from the chef and my server, there were two owners of Hiroba, and they had recently split up. One of the owner had the lease, the other had the naming rights. I was given the very poignant analogy that one parent got the house and the other got the kid. So while one owner reopened this location as Sushimi's, I was further surprised that Hiroba is now reopening in Sparks. But regardless, let's get back to focusing on my dining experience...\n\nThe menu is a little bit smaller than before, but still with an amazing selection of appetizers, nigiri, and rolls, with lots of old favorites and a bunch of new selections to choose from. I sipped on my complimentary sake and munched on some muscles as I decided what to go for. Started off with some perpetual nigiri favorites of mine like salmon, tuna, unagi, and uzura (tobiko and quail egg). Everything was just superb and delicious! It is clear the chefs have lost none of their game with all the recent changes. The only thing I could possibly nitpick with the food is that some of the nigiri weren't as elegantly put together as before. But then, appearance has no bearing on flavor and yumminess. I moved on to a few of the newer rolls such as the Tuna Blossom, the Black Sunrise, and a special, custom order where I just asked the chef to be creative. The rolls, likewise, are just amazing. Too often I have visited sushi places where the rolls are kind of lacking in the flavor department or in the presentation. Not the case here! Top marks all around for the folks behind the bar. You guys rock! In fact, in general, all the staff were very attentive and friendly. And touching on some other essential points, the parking situation is alright, though the lot can be a bit hectic at times, and the price for the all-you-can-eat option is very reasonable. And, admittedly, I still love this location.\n\nSo all in all, it is interesting to see how my old favorite has been reinvented. These guys get four-stars, but just barely. The only reasons I am not giving it a solid five-stars is that I want to see them build and grow, to visit once their renovation is done and equipment taken away, to return when they really find their stride. I have had some truly EPIC sushi experiences at Hiroba in the past, and I will bet anyone that once Sushimi's get their sea legs, this place will blow everyone away. The food alone is definitely five-star worthy. I will certainly be back, excited to see how they're doing, and eager for the excuse to bump up my rating when I do. Keep up the amazing work!",
"Going to start by saying the food is the same except for a couple of new rolls. Food is really good....if you get what you ordered. The service was so bad, we have decided to start trying new places. We have been going to hiroba for years and showed up to find it changed to Sushimi's. What used to take less than an hour to eat at Hiroba, took us over 2.5 hours for lunch AND we didn't even get half of the stuff we ordered and the stuff that did come, wasn't what we ordered. We ate it anyway since we were sick of waiting. We saw orders being taken to tables where they were turned away because it was the wrong table. We had to request water 4 different times, the servers would bring a new tray of food but not take the empties away. All in all, the service is what is driving us away from this place because the food is still good. Won't be back for a while. Hopefully they get it together or this place is going to go under.",
"Definitely a decline in quality from Hiroba's. Fish tasted fine, but appearance and tempura quality have definitely decreased. I do not know if I would eat here again. Sad day.",
"Amazing food and amazing service, i have been to sooo many sushi places in town and this is by far the best place in town. The staff makes you feel like VIP!!!! GP you are the sweetest and dedicated waiter, RODRIGO AND LINDSEY ARE AMAZING too!!!! FOOD CAME FAST!!!! Thank you so much, be back soon!!!",
"The best sushi within 50 miles. They are amazing!!!! Recommend them any day any time. I favorite place for sure.",
"Amazing food and so friendly with awesome service! 10/10 recommend. GP is the maaaaaaan!",
"Amazing place! Always come here for sushi. GP is the best!! They made us a special roll!",
"Love coming here for all-you-can-eat. Fast service, excellent food, fun upbeat vibe. I always eat way too much.. try the Mickey Mouse",
"Server was super nice and very helpful. Overall veryyyy good sushi and good service. Coming back for sure!",
"Amazing food, highly recommend. All types of sushi and the staff is friendly\n\nGo for the upside down shrimp. To. Die. For. And the doodle drawings are \"interesting\""

"For a chain restaurant this hits the mark! Good service, clean, updated decor and good food! Plus a Gluten free menu, nothing crazy but it was tasty! Go and eat at the bar area, booths and tables and limited wait! This place is busy!!!",
"Wasn't impressed! We had a table of 4 and all of our food came out separately. It would have been nice to eat together. Chicken was over cooked. My husband order the Cajun pasta and it was a very small portion for the price. We ordered the salty carmel cake, it was also very small for the price and wasn't that tasty. Not interested in returning!",
"This is a very professional staff and they really make a great team. Service is prompt and friendly. Lots of great menu items and a perfectly-stocked bar. Try a Long Island Iced Tea...they invented it, and their sweet and sour is mss fresh from scratch daily.",
"Service was horible. No welcoming smiles or greeting. I felt like we were inconveniencing thwm by showing up. They sat us at a table and we used a high chair for my friend's baby. We were subsequently moved because the table they placed us at was a fire hazard with the high chair. They didn't even help us move...I had to go back and get our menus and everything. We ordered a couple beers and the server got the drinks confused with the only other table she was working. Overall, the food was average. But the servers were unhelpful and unfriendly.",
"Did not like the new atmosphere. VERY noisy and had the feel of a food court. \nFood and service was fine but we couldn't wait to just eat and leave.\nProbably would not go back. Too many other choices.",
"The new building is amazing. Fast and great service.",
"This place was not what I expected. The service was poor and the waitresses and hostesses were not very friendly. Told to wait 15-20 minutes for them to clear off a table. Like none of them would dare clean a table off. Then we were standing there waiting and talking and the hostess was like \"we can see u now\" like we were inconveniencing her time. I probably will not return to this place it's a new location but poor service.",
"My children decided they wanted to dine here for my two daughters birthdays. At first the greeter seemed quite friendly. We were seated right away but our waitress did not come to the table until almost 15 minutes to ask what drinks we would like. After ordering drinks we waited an additional 17 minutes before they were brought to the table and were able to order food. At a glance, many other tables were not being properly served. The staff was very unorganized and clumsy. When the food finally arrived steaks, burgers, salmon and pasta was cold to the touch. My sons steak was tough and cooked very well done when he ordered medium rare. The salmon was tough and almost rubbery. When the waitress came by to ask us if our food was alright we asked to speak to the manager. He refused to come to the table. So my husband stepped up and went into the kitchen to have a chat with him. We asked for new food, he refused. He asked to me compensated for the food. Manager said no. He told my husband there was nothing wrong with the dishes and when we presented them he simply replied \"that's how we serve the food\". Eventually one of the dishes was taken off the bill but we immediately left and my younger children were in tears. I approached the manager and very clearly and loudly stated how the service and his treatment of the situation would influence us never to go back. Others agreed and left the restaurant as well. Go to south county for better service and food!!!",
"Seated instantly. Seated at a long horseshoe-type arrangement with several other families and an older couple looking as bemused as us that we couldn't be seated in one of the open 2-seat booths available. Place is LOUD and that's without any noticeable music playing. Waited 15 minutes for someone to take our order--didn't happen--so we left.",
"Service not the best. Very disorganized. Steak was supposed to be medium, wound up being well done (being polite) and extremely dry. Worst Friday's i have been to. Server was good though."

"Burgers! Fries! Milkshakes! A Coke freestyle machine! BurgerFi's got all of these things, so if you're into any of these then you should definitely make a stop here. \n\nAfter months and months of waiting for this place to open, I decided to stop in -- yes, on opening day -- and I have to say, I wasn't disappointed. The restaurant is located on hip and happening South Howard Ave, so I highly expect this place to be a total disaster in the evenings and/or on the weekends.\n\nAnyway, the restaurant is really nice inside. There are a ton of tables and the inside is really spacious. The layout works really well here and there are also a few tables outside which is great for this time of year when the weather is perfect for sitting outside.\n\nYou can choose whatever kind of burger you want -- there are some preset options but I opted for the build your own style burger. I got a single patty (about 1/4 pound) with American cheese, bacon, diced onions and the BurgerFi special sauce. I got it green style which means I opted for lettuce instead of the bun. OK, don't shun me for that choice.\n\nAnyway, the burger itself was pretty good. It kind of reminded me of Five Guys but a little bit better since I had more options of toppings. I wish there had been more of the BurgerFi sauce since I could barely taste it.\n\nThis place also has a Coke freestyle machine, which is an awesome addition to any restaurant. So many drink choices!\n\nThe service was super quick and friendly. The nice young lady working at the register was knowledgeable about the menu and answered all the questions I had. Prices are pretty reasonable. The single stack burger was only $3.97. \n\nI'll for sure be back.",
"This place is prety good. A little too greasy and salty. It is kind of like Five guys burgers. The staff was very friendly. I may go back to try a milkshake.",
"BurgerFi really rocks - burgers, fries, hot dogs and frozen custards in a bar like atmosphere. Serving beer and wine along with 2 Coke freestyle machines. Order at the counter, place your order tracker on the black electronic mat in the center of your table, then your custom made order is delivered to your table. \n\nThe 1/2 + 1/2 Burger has an Angus patty on top of a Quinoa patty plus American cheese and cheddar cheese and BurgerFi sauce. It was very moist and tasty. Fries are thick, skin-on and crispy. (No wimpy shoe-string fries here). \n\nParking is on the first level of the covered garage on south side of the building. Has covered outdoor seating along the sidewalk, all those tables were filled today with inside seats being second choice. \n\nDistinctive feeling with interior design of wood, metal, huge ceiling fans along with friendly service makes you want to linger on.",
"I've been waiting for this place to open for two years. I'm so glad I can get a good, basic burger in south Tampa. It was a pain having to drive to Carrollwood for Burger 21.\n\nThe menu is pretty limited, burgers and hot dogs with a decent range of toppings. Don't expect exotic meats and table service a la Square One. Order at the counter and smile because you'll be getting tasty food delivered to your table quickly.\n\nI had a single burger with bleu cheese, hot sauce, lettuce and tomato. It was good, as good as Burger 21 or Burger Monger. The fries were great. My husband had a cheeseburger with American cheese and declared it his favorite burger in Tampa. He also loved his milkshake, and he loved the grape soda that they sell in bottles.\n\nI was happy that they have both bottled and draft beers. \n\nThe staff was very nice.",
"This burger place is not just \"well branded,\" the food and experience live up to the hype. Burger Fi is one of the fastest growing burger franchises today. They landed and great location in the South Howard district in Tampa. Have a bite to eat, and then hit the bars, or visa versa. Their menu isn't complicated, but has enough choices to allow people to get creative with the \"build your own burger\" thing. Great classic burger taste that I'm always looking for, juicy, well seasoned and paired with a good soft bun, with some hand cut fries. Customer service was also a five star rating. Go here.",
"Classic burger spot with excellent atmosphere. The menu is safe but satisfying. I tried a traditional burger, fries, and even though I'm not a big sweets guy, a vanilla shake with fresh strawberries blended in. \n\nThe reason for 3 stars is that while I left satisfied, there wasn't anything different about the food. There wasn't anything signature about the food. The menu items I ordered tasted a lot like something from somewhere else. Having said that, if I need to put a burger craving down, I'll definitely head back here. \n\nIf you're looking for a great environment, friendly staff, and a satisfying burger, you can't go wrong here.",
"Great atmosphere. Delicious burgers, craft beer, and custard! This was much needed in the SoHo area and I can guarantee I will utilize the patio many, many days in the future. The managers are awesome too!! :)",
"This new spot is a hit! I tried their quinoa burger and I was very pleased. Went with a nice size group (9 people total) and there was plenty of seating available. Staff was friendly. Food was great. Check out my pictures!",
"THIS PLACE SUCKS.\n\nThese burgers do not taste like anything. I am talking about the meat, the beef, the patty. What exactly is it made of? Because it sure is dry, tasteless crap. Also, the \"special sauce\" they put on the burger is, well, I don't know what it is since they BARELY put any sauce on my burger. I took the bun off my \"single\" cheeseburger and there was a small squirt of the sauce that was complete absorbed by the bun.\n\nIn fact, the theme at this restaurant is:\n\n1. Barely any flavor in the burger patty\n2. Barely any sauce or toppings on the burger\n3. Barely any cheese sauce on the cheese fries\n4. Barely any Oreos in my frozen custard\n\nThe only thing they seem to go overboard on is the portions of fries and onion rings. The \"regular\" fries is enough for two people. The onion rings are ginormous (too big, actually). But otherwise the burgers are small and they lack flavor and toppings. \n\nThe hot dogs are also small (especially for the prices they charge). And the toppings on my Chicago dog were really sad. Like a teaspoon of onion. Really? \n\nThis place really tries to cut corners by skimping on toppings, sauces, etc. \n\nNot a good sign.\n\nThe \"concrete\" desserts, made of frozen custard, are good. The frozen custard is actually tasty. But if you get a topping or a mix-in, once again they barely put any stuff in there.\n\nThe service was slow, very slow, and this was a Tuesday night. Parking is a pain in the ass. The music in this place was so fucking loud it gave me a headache. \n\nOverall I would say it's probably better to go to Burger King than this joint.\n\nI'm JOKING.\n\nBut seriously this place is a total fail.",
"We've been patiently waiting for a burger place in Soho and finally it has arrived. The inside decor is upscale which is what you'd expect from the location. Menu was a little overwhelming at first so kept it simple and ordered a BurgerFi Cheeseburger and added bacon, onions and jalapeños. It was a good size and extra messy and delicious. We also ordered fries topped with Parmesan cheese and herbs and onion rings. The fries were limp with no crisp and the flavoring didn't add much flavor. The onion rings were wide and again lacked flavor.\n\nExcited to have a burger joint in the neighborhood and will be back for a burger and beer but I won't be adding any fries nor onion rings to the order."

"I am always looking for good Mexican food. I am fairly new to Boise and haven't been impressed with most of the Mexican restaurants. I read that this chain has won the Best of Boise for a number of years so I figured I would check it out. Right from the beginning I wasn't impressed with the menu. For instance, they didn't really have many options for tacos (e.g., no Adobada, Carnitas...). When the food did come out, it was bland and borderline cold. Everything we had was so-so. We left disappointed.",
"Since moving to Boise, I have been on the hunt for great Mexican food. I moved from a city that had a vibrant hispanic culture and a large selection of great restaurants. I want that in Boise, so after reading all of the reviews for the other Chapala locations I thought this might be my place, plus they have multiple locations, that means they have been in business for a while and must have a loyal clientele, they are doing something right, huh?\n\nWell, after visiting the Vista location I wasn't all that impressed, maybe one of the other locations is doing it better, but if they have the same menu I am going to assume no. The food was okay, really it was no different than visiting a ChiChi's from the 1980's. It just felt uninspired, under seasoned and was nothing special. \n\nTo be fair, I did start this review in August and I have wanted to visit another location but the husband won't allow it. The staff was friendly so I will give them props for that.\n\nMy search continues for good no GREAT Mexican food in Boise, does it exist?",
"Delicious food, great service, no long waits, free chips salsa and bean dip. It's a vibrant atmosphere. I love eating here. And, if it's just one of those relaxing nights, I'll rent some movies and order some pick up. Highly recommended.",
"I have been going to one Chapala or another for 20+ years. If you know what they serve best, the food is great. I highly recommend Camarones Chapala (shrimp, onions, bacon, cheese, with tortillas and the side plate that goes with fajitas), the fajitas, the grilled chimis, or the flautas. Most of the time you can get green salsa as well with your chips. The green salsa (you have to ask) is sweet and spicy.",
"Love this place every time I go here. Friendly staff, fast service, and I always like the food. Really good chile verde burrito, and priced reasonably. I stop by every time I'm in Boise.",
"Gross food! Service is terrible tam bein. All the waitresses do, is glare at you while you are eating. As they talk in Spanish and eat food like free range cattle. Best go to Nato's or Beto's.",
"I've definitely had better. These guys have been in the game a long time and are a local staple so I'll cut them some slack. It's not the best Mexican food you'll eat in your life but they are dependable and who can say they don't like Chapala's chips and salsa?\n\nIf you're going to get anything, get the fajitas with the cholesterol-free beans. That's the only way to make this place somewhat healthy. The pork carnitas are good, too. Go out on a limb and try the horchata. Good rice drink that everyone should try at least once!!",
"I don't know why people have given this Mexican restaurant bad reviews, every single time my significant other and our son go in , they remember us, very kind, attentive, and happy staff, who often sing as they work. \nI'm a regular and eat every bite! \nDelicioso!!",
"Outstanding! The food was delicious. I got the Enchiladas Sauze (tomatio sauce) - I highly recommend these! The service was very efficient. We got there shortly before closing time, and they were very welcoming and friendly. They brought us our food quickly and checked on us to be sure we happy. The waiter was a lot of fun and did a really good job. \n\nI'm very surprised that there are some reviews with less than 4 stars - this place is really good and a place I would definitely recommend!",
"We just moved back to Boise from Arizona. Maybe we were spoiled with awesome Mexican restaurants there?\n\nWe just moved to a place near the vista Chapala's and decided to give it a try since we noticed they have multiple locations in the valley. They have to be good right?\n\nNope. \n\nIt was very bad. My husband got tacos. You can tell a Mexican restaurant's quality by the tacos they produce. These were school cafeteria grade. It was very disappointing. So much so we made tacos the very next night to satisfy our taco craving that was left hanging the night before. \n\nI got the Enchilada with Mole. They had our order made fast but it tasted like it had been sitting a while. Definitely not fresh. Again, disappointed with dish number two. \n\nOur third entrée was a kids crispy. They placed it into the styrofoam takeout container fresh from the piping hot grill. It melted a huge hole in the container and the styrofoam was now part of the cheese crispy. It became an inedible. Notably, though, probably the freshest dinner out of the three...\n\nI told the waitress when I placed our order over the phone this was our first visit to their restaurant. When I arrived I was greated immediately by the host. He said the waitress was getting our order ready. She didn't great me. She came out from the back of the kitchen with my food and immediately started speaking the the host in Spanish. Didn't make eye contact. Didn't even say hi. No acknowledgement. She asked him if I was there for the order (in Spanish) then proceeded to ring me up...then spoke to me to give my total. She knew it was our first experience. Repeat customers are made from awesome first experiences and ours was horrible all around. \n\nSo the search for good Mexican in boise continues."

"Frankie's Philadelphia Cheesesteaks - Formerly Daglio's \n\nOverated Taste & Too Expensive:\n\nExpensive new restaurants now dominate the Tucson scene, this one included, I ordered a basic meal which cost me an absurd $12 and the portions were not at all extravagant. Taste was greasy, prepared sloppily by bored 20 yr olds. \n\nI won't come back here again any time soon. Fries tasted awful as well.",
"Portions seem to have gotten smaller and the prices have gone up but man'o'man there is no place like it here and the closest thing to a genuine philly cheese steak with cheese whiz! Wise potato chips rule!",
"We tried this place after I heard about it on the Mountain and were happy with what we got.\n\nI'm not actually up on my cheesesteak fare, but my partner is and really liked it. The partner enjoys the standard cheesesteak with fries. I usually stick to the chickensteak which is a great alternative for those who don't eat red meat. My partner and I typically share the fries, which we both really like. I always leave full.\n\nService is usually quick and best for take-out. \n\nI agree that the sandwiches are pretty greasy, but isn't that to be expected from a cheesesteak stand? We've never gone wrong here, especially considering we're nowhere near Philadelphia. We will continue to go back here and recommend it to all of our friends.",
"Ambience: 5/5 (well-kept dining area with a relaxing, laid-back feel that is great for lunch with friends but is probably too casual for dinner--although it would be nice if it were open late for a late-night snack; lots of Philadelphia memorabilia is a plus)\n\nFood: 5/5 (delicious, authentic Philly cheese steaks using fresh ingredients brought in from Philly; best Philly cheese steaks in the area)\n\nService: 4/5 (counter service; friendly staff; orders filled quickly; only complaint is the hours of operation: this place should be open later)\n\nValue: 4/5 (the sandwiches are about 1 to 2 dollars more than they should be, but it's not a deal breaker)\n\nVerdict: One of the 5 restaurants in Tucson that I absolutely must take my out-of-town friends to eat at.",
"Frankie's makes a great cheesesteak. Sure the prices are not cheap by Tucson standards, but I think the bread is flown in from the East Coast, so you get what you pay for. Frankie is usually hanging around too, and I love to see an owner running a cash register. You know it keeps him in tune with his customers. The steak is awesome, perfect proportions of onions to meat to cheese to bread. I like to get some hot peppers too, and they are hot! Also you have your choice of different cheeses and even broccoli rabe. I love when you can add something \"healthy\" to a food that should make you immediately keel over from a heart attack. I am sad that this joint is not open late night. Everyone knows that is when cheesesteak cravings hit.",
"This place is fantastic! they make a wonderful sandwich, they have a room that exists only as a tribute to the historic roots of philadelphia and just when you think it couldn't get an better...the have wise freakin' potato chips! that's right, i said wise, people!\n\nstriving for absolute authenticity, i think frankie's gets pretty darn close.\n\nas a side: the owner came through and asked everyone how their meal was and thanked us for coming. just...great. i am in love.",
"I have never been to Philly, but others who have been there say that Frankies is as close as you can get in Tucson to a real cheesesteak sandwitch. The owner is a Philly native and always one to come out and talk to his guests, take care of any problems or just talk about whatever game is on TV.\n\nIf you like you chessesteak piled high on a good solid roll, with mushrooms, onions and cheesewhiz... yes, cheesewhiz...mmmm, this is the place.\n\nThe have other sandwiches and sides, but I never got anything there but the steak.\n\nThey can be really busy and full up around lunch time so it's best to go a little early or a little late if you can as seating is limited.",
"great place to go on a lazy sunday afternoon and stuff your face. fast service really good cheesesteaks.",
"Ever so curious about Philly's outside of Philly, I thought I'd give this place a stab after my cousin mentioned it. Strangely--the slacker (my cousin) has never tried Frankie's creation. \n\nThe counter delivers the high school help that another Yelper pointed out; I thought they were nice enough though. The Philly takes a while to get to you. There are two options for seating, the boob-tube, sports room or the Liberty room. To the Liberty room!\n\nSo, . . . .yeah--very patriotic in this room. There are all of these images of our country's forefathers on the wall. Very formal feeling too. I felt like Benjamin Franklin as I waited for my Philly. \n\nThe Philly came and I was pleased as punch. With Whiz--this is a pretty decent sandwich. Especially when you consider how far removed it is from its homeland. The roll it comes on is lacking, but it's a solid 3.5--I'm rounding down. \n\nGet over to Frankie's and eat like a patriot!",
"This place is the bomb. I love the newer location with the Liberty Room. Philly Represent! I always would get the italian- I never had a 'steak here but I am not a big beef kinda gal. I like cold cuts. Frank is an OG from Philly and gets all of his ingredients flown in daily- even the bread- which any true east coaster will tell ya, the bread is the heart and soul of a 'steak. My boyfriend is Italian from Philly and he claims this place was as close as he has gotten to Philly style on the west coast (and he has lived all throughout So-Cal and the Pac NW). He swears its the bread at Frankie's that makes it great. It has to do with that upper east coast water- I hear its panacea for the soul."

"Considering they were only open 20 minutes before I got here whatever training has happened helped make my visit a treat",
"I was very excited to hear about Hamburger Mary's opening this past week, in St. Petersburg. Having known the one in Wilton Manors well, I looked forward to this one.\nIt was a very rainy night, but outside seating was covered, so we sat outside. Everyone at our table ordered the Mac and cheese bite appetizer, which was very good. I had the classic Mary burger, with cheddar. The burger was good. I don't eat them often, but I treated myself. It was not outstanding, but for the moderate price, it was good. I wish I could say the same for the cocktails. I decided to start with a Mojito. It was decent, but a little sweet for my taste. For my second cocktail, my wife and I both ordered a Long Island iced tea, something that this restaurant chain is famous for. After tasting this drink, my wife looked at me and asked what I thought. I told her that I thought it tasted like too much Coke, which should be used only to slightly color the drink. Our very nice waiter came by to ask how the cocktails were. I told him that my long island iced tea had too much Coke in it, and my wife said the same. The waiter kindly offered to bring us replacements, telling the bartender to use less coke. The second drinks were much better!\nDespite the crowd during its first week of being open, our service was wonderful. Our waiter was very attentive and sweet. We never needed to wait for anything. I would give five stars for our service, but I can only give three for the food and cocktails. The cocktails are too expensive to not be excellent. The typical price of each was $10. I am sure we will go there again, as it is a very fun place, including the drag shows.",
"Great fun, Saturday afternoon was packed with fun. I only expect this will get better and better. A great addition to St. Pete for everyone to enjoy goo times, drinks and eats.",
"We made reservations for a 9pm show and asked it we could have dinner at 8:15. The person taking the reservation told us it was no problem. We arrived at 8:10 and did not get seated until 9:35. The show was at 9:30 and started late due to earlier settings. We had a large party and the food was ok, but the bill was screwed up and we ended up being one of the last tables to get out. We could not see the show as they had to seat us outside and the entertainers only came out to pose for pix and get tips. As we sat on patio we had to suffer with a 4 top table smoking next to us as we had dinner. This is one of the most awful experiences.",
"Be prepared to wait. We made reservations for our friends birthday party for 9pm and didn't get seated until 10pm. We then didn't get our food until around 11. We were sat outside so I can't comment on the entertainment too much. They do come outside to do some singing and dancing but if you wanted to view the show you defiantly want to be inside. The food was average at best. I ordered the black and bleu burger and it was over cooked and dry. We waited so long to get our food that I didn't bother to ask for it to be fixed. Just know what to expect ahead of time if you are thinking about visiting here.",
"Awesome. Burgers and the mac and cheese to die for. The drag sunday buffet.was real good and also the drag show with it one thing you should do before going is to make a reservation. ...went back wed for dinner and also drag bingo that was so much fun ..every day its something different",
"I love Hamburger Mary's! I am so excited that they are FINALLY in St. Petersburg!!! The food we have had here has been great. My partner got a fish sandwich the other night and you would've thought they threw a whale on his plate - the sandwich was freakin' huge! I got the caesar salad and it was huge!!! I couldn't eat the whole thing. They have GREAT happy hour prices on well drinks and domestic beers. After happy hour they usually have some kind of drink specials that you can enjoy while watching the best drag shows I've seen in a while. What I like even more is that it's a very diverse crowd. Straight and gay folks TOGETHER having a great time.\n\nThe staff has been wonderful. The bartenders are so friendly and if you're nice to them - they'll be nice to you (Remember - to get good customer service, YOU have to be a good customer as well! It's a two way street. If you're bitchy and complain a lot, they'll probably stay away from you!). The few names that come to mind currently: Tiffany, Jonathon, Jerod, Kendall and Jeff. All super bartenders! Again, the shows are super fun! The girls get out and interact with the crowd throughout the entire restaurant. \n\nI've heard people nit-picking already. They've just opened up! They're working out the kinks and the bugs. If you're looking for something to be wrong - you'll probably find it - because, well that's what you're looking for, right!? If you want a gourmet dinner - this isn't the place to go. It's bar food! It's fun food! If you want to have a nice \"quiet\" dinner - go somewhere else and come back here when you're ready to have FUN! If you're going to complain about the drink prices - you can always go to New York City, where a well drink is $15!!!!! Their drink prices are comparable to most bars in the area AND they come with a great pour! \n\nWelcome to St. Pete., Hamburger Mary's! I'm so happy to have you here AND within walking distance of my house!!! LOL!!!!!!! Keep up the GREAT work!",
"First visit, but not very welcoming. They seemed short on servers (5:15 pm) and steered us to sit at the bar. Heard hostess tell customers after us (5:20) that all of the inside seating was reserved for the show. Show was scheduled for 7:00.\n\n\"Happy Hour till 7\", but the bartender said that included domestic beer only...ok, but at least share the pricing info, etc. Ordered a \"Super Fruit Margarita\", but the bartender said she didn't have ingredients for that. Went with the House Margarita, which was super sweet.\n\nOrdered a Chicken Tender Wrap and an Original Mary Burger. The wrap was dry with no ranch dressing as described and confirmed with the bartender when she took the order. The med well burger was rare. The bartender brought out a small side of ranch and said that they put the burger \"back on for a bit\". WTH, never seen that. Came back out, still only Med Rare and falling off the bun since it had been previously cut open. Took two bites and moved it aside. Bartender promptly removed it without comment and tossed in trash. \n\nCouple sat next to us and ordered well drinks - on Happy Hour!? I asked bartender if the wells were in fact on happy hour and she said YES. WTH \n\n$40 wasted! Food was terrible, service was worse - will definitely not be back!",
"Went there during soft opening. So It would not be fair to rate yet. They did not have any entertainers yet. We just had some drinks and appetizers at the bar. Both were good and the earbenders were funny. Something started to smoke in the kitchen, was surprised the fire alarm didn't sound. Haha\n\nWill have to return for the shows. HBM typically are a lot of fun.",
"We went there for our Birthdays and had the breakfast brunch. The brunch was $12.95. And they had 2 types of eggs, fried chicken, steak, biscuits and friggin great gravy, veggies and sausage and bacon. The food was excellent and fresh!! The only thing that was disappointing was the dessert that was Fruity Pebbles rice crispy treats and Brownie Cookie triangles. There was some mystery mush next to it but no one knew what it was.\n\nKenya Black one of the performers is amazing and the best performer hands down. She really comes to perform not just walk out and collect tips. She is funny and interactive with the audience. The host was amazing as well!! She was so funny and quite beautiful. We will definitely go back.. it was a fun time and so much fun."

"Wish they had zero stars as a rating. Frozen spinach/artichoke dip tasted and looked amazingly like another chain that is popular on Friday's! Frozen veggies for sides. Burger was a frozen pre-formed puck that wreaked of liquid smoke. \n\nWaitress didn't know they had a kids menu.\n\nPositives: Waitress was attentive and fries were good.",
"I was really hoping this place would be great! The food was frozen and almost inedible. I ordered the lemon chicken which they highlight as one of there best dishes. It reminded me of a cafeteria chicken patty. The lemon sauce had zero taste and it was missing the lemon flavor. The veggies were frozen and cold. I was really bummed. Will go back for drinks as their drink menu looked good. Just won't be going for food.",
"Wow! And I mean that in the most negative way!\nI so wanted to like this place. Too bad I don't.\n\nThe place was empty. That should have told us something. \n\nI ordered the Grilled Chicken Melt which did say on the menu that it was fried, but the thing was so greasy that oil was dripping from the sandwich. Couldn't taste the cheddar cheese, or tomato, or lettuce because of the oil. No seasoning. Fries were cooked and crisp, so that was a plus. The only plus. \n\nThe wait staff was enthusiastic, friendly and happy to help, but I couldn't tell who our waitress was with the three people that came to our table. One took drink orders and the next brought items to the table ad the third checked on us and gave us the check. \nMight that be because they didn't have much to do since it was so dead?\n\nMy lunch companion has the Ginger Lettuce Wrap, which she said was \"not bad.\"\n\nItems came out from the kitchen separately. Just once, i'd like to go to a restaurant where all food for all parties at the table comes out \"TOGETHER.\"\n \nWould I go back here? \nPossibly for a drink.",
"Here are my three experiences which lead to the 2 star rating: \n\n1. Opening weekend: The place was a mad house (as to be expected), but waiting over 15 minutes to get served a drink was a bit ridiculous. There seemed to be a plenty of bartenders, but between serving the folks at the bar and putting out drinks for the tables they seemed to be overwhelmed. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere. \n\n2. Weekend after opening: Went there for apps and drinks (which happened to be after the happy hour specials). Put our name in with the hostess (who has no station and the only way you know your name is being called is that they run around the whole restaurant yelling out your name). We ordered the calamari (barely anything to the order) and the Asian flatbread(not bad) and a few round of drinks between the two of us. The wife liked all of her fruity martinis/ Total bill with tip was a little over $100! Umm, ok. The waitress was super friendly, but the wait for drinks and apps took longer than expected.\n\n3. Burger Night: $5 burger nights happen on Tuesdays (5pm-close) . Not a bad deal, but the Wendy's across the street has more flavor to their burgers that the ones at Louies. The patties looked frozen, but at least toss a little salt and pepper on them while they are cooking. Also order the spinach dip app and it was so-so (probably frozen as well). Again, our waiter was super friendly and attentive. \n\nCliff Notes: \n1. Burger Night (Tuesdays 5pm-Close): Good for family night out, but don't expect much\n2. Go here for happy hour. Get there at 5pm and leave at 7pm because the BL's normal prices are in line (or more) than city prices. \n3. Service is good, but bar and hosts needs more help or rework.",
"I was pretty unimpressed with my first visit and likely will not return. \nUpon entering, there is no one to seat you.. You just walk in and find seating yourself. There was no sign indicating that you should seat yourself, so it was an awkward way to enter an establishment. \nAfter sitting, a waiter approached us and took our order. The staff seems very uncomfortable with performing their jobs still. Very awkward in their approach and seemed sort of \"disconnected\" when waiting on the table. \nI had the lemon parmesan crusted chicken-- yikes. SUPER salty. I had to scrape off the outside of the chicken in order to stomach the meat itself. The rice pilaf was okay.. It offset the saltiness of the chicken a little. Best part of the dish was the steamed veggies.. Carrots, red pepper, and broccoli. There was also alfredo sauce on the plate, but I avoid it out of fear that it, too, would be overly salted.\nThe kids chicken tenders seemed fine. My son ate them, so that's a good sign. The fries were good. \nNot worth another trip back, in my opinion.",
"Very disappointed. My family, 8 of us met for a birthday dinner. Service was horrible. Three dinners came out and the other five waited fifteen minutes for dinners. My meal was wrong and took twenty minutes to come out. Server was totally imcompaneent. Def not going back",
"My first experience with Bar Louie was\n good. Our server was awesome and our food was good. It took a while for the drinks to come out but other then that I have no complaints. \n\nI ordered the pulled pork and it was one of the best I ever had. The other dish we ordered was the thai chicken flat bread which was also very tasty. I'll be back there for sure",
"I wish there were negative stars. Our experience was AWFUL. Not only was our waiter insanely awkward, but we put our order in and waited 40 minutes while our waiter assured us that our food was\"coming\". Needless to say it never came and we walked out. Will NEVER be back.",
"Beautiful atmosphere! Went in there with a buddy for lunch. Restaurant offered a free lunch for active and retired military. I had a BLTT and it was absolutely delicious it was a standard BLT that added Turkey. Server, Melissa, very attentive to our needs. Beer was nice and cold. I would definitely come back",
"I don't typically write reviews, but I had a great experience tonight & thought I'd share! The bar staff was super friendly...very attentive & personable. All of the cocktails were spot on & tasty!!! The prices are normal for a gastro pub setting, but happy hour was a steal! hello $5.25 martinis & 1/2 price apps! \n\n\nI'm looking forward to checking out Tuesday burger night!"

"We ordered and payed at the counter first. \nMy husband ordered the fish and chips. \nI ordered the two piece chicken strips and one piece fish combo.\nBoth of our orders came with a small soda. \nOur total was around $13, very cheap price.\nThe food was served crispy and hot on adorable fish shaped plates. \nWe ate in. The dining area is small but made comfortable with padded seat covers and multiple small two top tables. There is seating for a four top. \nWe enjoyed our lunch and will be back in the future to try the sushi burritos.",
"I was skeptical coming here for a couple reasons. The guy (Godfather owner not sushi chef) was rude on the phone to myself and my mom but decided I needed to like the food not him. \n\nI went in to try the sushi burrito with my mom (who goes there alot for the seafood). Wow, I was blown away I had the #112 Catapillar burrito and my mom had the #113 Dragon, both very large and very fresh and good and the chef makes all his own sauces. \n\nWe also had the fried calamari for an appetizer which was very good as well. \n\nCan't wait to go back and try other things on the menu!",
"This is why I yelp! Finding those new or hidden spots just like this place. Thanks to helper Brian D. I became aware this place existed today, I really wanted something good that was not fast food to take with me to the bar.\n\nLocation: This place is secluded! They have terrific signage though as far as for the shopping center and for their window space. \n\nAtmosphere: Once inside it's a bit tiny, seems like this building is old but they did what they could to update it. Seemed clean to me too, again considering it's not brand new. \n\nService: The chef is super nice and welcoming. The (I presume) owner is more quiet but wasn't necessarily rude. He also had a chef's jacket on. Got a buttload of sauces with my to-do order. \n\nFood: I ordered the 2 fish, 6 shrimp combo, pint of clam chowder and the gobbstopper sushi burrito. So much Food! And so good. I took it to Ceol and the bartender was stealing bites of my food and he was ready to leave to go get some for himself. The fish was a bit firm, but good flavor. The shrimp are huge and also flavorful. The clam chowder was fairly standard, I would probably like more in it... celery or such. Lots of clam though. And the sushi... huge! Fresh and lots of flavor. For krab it's the stick bad the over mayo mixture which is how I prefer sushi krab. \n\nWill I be back? Of course. The prices are incredible and the food is delicious. The burritos here would be perfect for lunch, don't break the bank and tasty! \n\nDo yourself a favor and come visit this tiny hole in the wall. They are trying and just need more presence.",
"This place is in a not so great part of town but definitely worth going to! The proportions are perfectly sized and the value is amazing! The person who took my order was really hard to hear but man the food was great!",
"This is a great little hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I had the fish, scallops, fries and soda value meal for about $6 and am definitely coming back again. \n\nFirst the good: The prices are great, the dining area comfortable, and the seafood is absolutely delicious. They even have a variety of sauces you can dip/cover your fish in, including vinegar, hot sauce, tartar sauce, ketchup, and something else I'm not remembering. The value menu is enough food for dinner if you're not starving or a big guy. If you're hungry, though, they have options with bigger portions for more money.\n\nNot so good: The fries were just ok and the soda was flat. I was going to knock off a star for this, but, to be honest, I'd rather have ok fries and fantastic fish for $6 than have fantastic fries and fantastic fish for $9. Also, there was only one guy when I went there (about 6:00 on a Monday), so it took a while for him to take my order. Hopefully they'll hire someone for the register soon. \n\nLike I said, I'm totally going back and would highly recommend it if you like fish and chips and/or are looking for an affordable dinner. They also have sushi burritos that I'm eager to try.",
"We ordered $48 of to-go food and they gave us one fork and no napkins but did include their menu. We decided on Swimming with the fishes, spicy tuna fries, Crystal Shrimp sushi burrito, Crystal Shrimp fries and Shrimp Lovers. The Crystal shrimp is a little spicy but good. Spicy Tuna fries were also yummy. \nWe were not impressed with the Shrimp Lovers and Swimming with the Fishes. Maybe it's the batter? The fish inside the breading was moist and fantastic. The chicken tender's batter was too hard.",
"Delicious perfectly fried fish, not super oily. Their chicken strips and fried prawns were soo good too!",
"My Irish and British heritage has been poking at me - I've been craving some good fish n' chips! So when Yelp notified me there was a new business in town, I knew I wanted to check this place out. I saw there were a lot of positive reviews posted, which was encouraging. The location is a little bit off the beaten path so to speak, after I get off the 80 west I have to take a road that winds off to the side - not the greatest location, but sometimes that's where you find the best stuff. \n\nThey have a good selection on their menu, including fish tacos, clam chowder, shrimp, etc which peaked my interest, but I was there to try some straight fish n' chips. I ordered the 2 fish (Alaskan cod) pieces with fries - not string fries, but the thick cut style wedges. Fish tasted great - fresh, unlike a couple of places I tried in the past, that gave you stuff no different to those processed frozen square shaped pieces you buy in a supermarket. Fries (or chips) were good, not a huge helping, perhaps that's the only thing I would say could be better, but along with the two fish pieces, it was still enough. \n\nA couple of things I want to point out - while it is quite a small restaurant, it feels cozy. They have a few sea related decorations set around the place and they serve the food and sides on fish shaped plates. Why would I even mention this? It tells me they care about the little details. Great food is obviously the most important factor, but these additions contribute in bringing the customer back.\n\nIt all came at an affordable price, about $9, and only took them 15 minutes to prepare (as they had told me!)\nI'm sold. I will be back again.",
"First off don't let the location fool you this place is a Hidden Gem. A little tricky to find for those of us not familiar with the area. Let your GPS guide you in. Sushi burritos are fantastic and I had the spicy salmon which was really tasty and I need to come back and try other varieties because they look really interesting. The seaweed salad was very fresh and had a lemon zing to it. My friend got a fried jalapeno appetizer and it looked amazing she said it was great. I will for sure be a regular customer here!!",
"Weird sketchy location but worth it! Food was great, had fish n chips, crystal shrimp burrito and fish tacos and they were all on point. Reno needed a place like this badly, definitely in a better location but oh well, I'll be back. I recommend taking the food to go as the dining area felt more like a small waiting room."

"The tacos are delicious. Don't forget the rooster beak. Guacamole with a twist. Premium margaritas too. Tequila, cuantro, and lime juice. Perfect.",
"We finally got our chance to try this place after missing several soft openings. We had al pastor tacos and the rooster beak guacamole with a house margarita. The food was very good. The only real problem was the place is very small. It might be better to grab it for take out. The margarita was good, but $6 for a very small glass loaded with ice. The guacamole was pretty good, but again $6 seemed a bit much for what you got. Overall, I'll be back but probably just to grab a couple tacos to go.",
"Very cool new place. Good vibe, quaint space, fresh mex. food and high quality tequila. Just opened so still working out details. Shop local and support them. It's an easy drop-in.",
"First time there was such a treat! Tacos were amazing and I really loved the rooster beak! Great beers on tap as well. Can't get any better than that.",
"They are working out the details as one reviewer mentioned. Their hours are erratic. Tried to eat lunch there the other day. People inside were looking at me but it was closed. The credit card reader was apparently out the night we dropped in causing a delay and a line and inattention to fulfilling drink orders. I need to give it another try. My tacos were a bit skimpy on the meat. Pricey too. Tight quarters. Will be nicer in the summer months when they can open the garage door and patrons can eat outside. I'll try the tequila drinks and the quesadillas next time.",
"Good fresh food, but you pay for it. The portions are small for the price. You need three tacos just to feel semi full. The cheese dip is ok. Mostly burnt cheese with some greasy meat. The drinks are small with lots of ice. Small space. Gets cold in the building quickly with the amount of traffic coming and going. Tip: Watch the orange sauce in the bottles it's the house hot. The green sauce is much better. They don't have labels on the bottles to let you know in advance. I have no idea why. Overall, so so.",
"I really wanted to love this place, just didn't. Portions are small and expensive. I didn't understand or enjoy the burnt queso/chorizo \"dip\" (thought maybe I got bottom of the pot until I read other reviews). The tacos and chacos were fine. When you figure in that they were $3/each, they were not fine. I applaud their efforts on recycling, using fresh ingredients and creating such a cool concept. I've been very excited to try this place (hours are odd...guessing geared around college kids' social habits). The food is average. The concept is cool. Sad to say I probably won't try it again. Too many strikes for me. I hope you find it different as it's locally owned and they seemed like really good guys.",
"The best! Great food, great drinks, and great people. Everything is reasonably priced and well prepared. Late nights on the weekend you can get your taco-or chaco- fix to help avoid the nasty hangover you might have in store from over indulging at the nearby bars.",
"Small but hip place. Fresh not fried. Limited menu but very good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is small inside. I will definitely go back.",
"Amazing tacos, the quesadilla is as thick as burrito! The house margarita is dangerously good too. Don't sleep on the potatoes and peppers filling."

"The union Tap is the old patty wacks, As the owners of General grants had to close its doors for reasons they relocation was hear. Glad to see they reopen but with a different name. \n\nAs I've been there a few times I notice not much has changed from when it was patty wacks. Only notice that they have added take out beer section that I never notice was there before. \n\nAnd one of my favorites also, Not you're father's Root beer. On Tap!! \n\nHave not Tryed the food but hearing by others the food is just as good as in the past and they still have the same sauce for there wings. So definitely in future I look forward to trying the food one night. \n\nThey also have happy hour from 4-6pm...huge selection of 80+ beers... Monday - Friday!! \n\nCan't wait to head back for another fun night of beers!!",
"The service here was great, an incredible selection of beers, both draft and bottled. The kitchen I found out is open til 1 am every night (a huge plus with me working nights). I tried the \"hell fire burger\" and some of my buddies fries \"cajun\" and \"blackened\"....i was very impressed. Definitely going back, plenty of tables in the dining room as well to go in for dinner",
"They made some improvements to the back bar and added craft beer takeout. Place seems nice.",
"What a great place to come with friends! Came in as a party of 11 that eventually grew, and our server was attentive, friendly, and knew how to do her job the right way! Really clean bar, really extensive draft and bottle list as well. Gotta say that the garlic parm fries are addicting, and the chicken tenders are so fantastic! Really reasonably priced as well. Some friends of mine got the Mozzy Burger and the Hell Fire burger which were also fantastic. Sweet honey mustard sauce is also really great. Another plus, the bathrooms were SO clean. Plenty of space to dance around and enjoy yourself with a group of friends. Will definitely recommend to friends and will definitely be coming back.",
"I found this place because of yelp while on a road trip and was very happy with it. Very tasty beers and the menu is amazing! Reasonable prices and lots to choose from. I had the fish tacos, simple but delicious. The twisted fries appetizer was amazing!! And the crab soup was probably one of the best crab soups I've ever had. It was a bit loud and noisy, but there was a birthday celebration taking places so it's understandable. The staff was friendly and attentive and took good care of us. I will definitely come back if I'm ever passing through this area again!",
"Stopped in with a friend for a beer and some food. Owner-Roman was there and comp me my 1st beer, then provided few samples for our opinions due to the fact a local distributor stopped in looking to sell to the bar. That's what you want an owner who appreciates there customers to take care of them and also gather there patrons opinions on beer selection. Ordered wings which were nice size and cooked perfectly.",
"Great local place to go with some friends!! Love quizzo on Thursdays!! They always have a great beer selection and the wings are amazing!",
"Went here last night with a friend. We arrived close to 7 and took 2 seats at the bar, front and center. There were 2 bartenders, one male and one female. The female seemed to have our side of the bar. She walked past us several times before I gave her a little wave to get her attention. She shook her head and semi apologized for seeming to not to see us. We ordered our drinks and asked for a couple menus. A couple minutes later we closed our menus and pushed them forward, the universal sign that we are ready to order. She walked to the couple next to us and took their order. She walked by us several more times. She restocked her cooler with bottled beer. When the people next to us received their food and we still hadn't ordered, I flagged down the male bartender and asked if we could order.\n\nI ordered their standard burger (lettuce, tomato, onion) medium rare with pepper jack and added the fries for $1. My friend ordered the prime rib sandwich with provolone and broccoli rabe, with the au jus on the side. The food comes out in a reasonable amount of time, but my burger has no garnish, and the side of au jus is missing. We ask the bartender for these things and he goes to get them. After 2 trips into the kitchen for other things, he returns with lettuce and tomato, and says the au jus will be right out. A couple bites into my burger and it's nowhere near medium rare and also very bland.I go to put some pepper on it and see the burger is just kind of gray. No grill marks if they are grilling. No sear if they cook them on the flattop. By the way, still no sign of the au jus, so he ask the female bartender. Male returns and tells us he didn't forget, they are whipping some up now. I ask don't you serve this all night? You ran out at 8? I don't know, he says, but I'll have it for you soon.\n\nWhen he returns he asks how everything is. I showed him my burger, which I had decided not to eat, and asked him how does that look to you? He apologizes and says he'll take it off the bill. I said to my friend we'll just finish our drinks and I'll get something to eat at the next place. About 5 minutes later, the bartender returns with a new burger, says the chef apologizes and wanted you to have this. I thank him. This burger does appear to have grill marks, and also is not overdone, but is still really bland. To put the icing on the cake, it was returned to me with my half eaten order of fries which by this time are quite cold.\n\nI did not ask for a manager because all we wanted to do was get out of there. I took the time to write this not necessarily to slam the place, but because these types of experiences seem all too common anymore. With so many options out there, I would take my hard earned money elsewhere.",
"We were traveling through Philadelphia and came across the Union Tap thanks to Yelp! We were more than pleased. The food is fresh, hot, delicious. Definitely gourmet bar food. We were greeted by the owner; the owner and staff were friendly and attentive. If we lived near by, we would be regulars for sure!",
"I love this place! It offers delicious food, an amazing selection or drinks and truly unbelievable service. This is without a doubt the best bar in the area and even surrounding areas. With so many places to go and emerging options The Union Tap does an amazing job to stand out and above the rest. 10 times out of 10 I would come here over any other bar in the area."

"If you leave hungry you didn't order!\n\nI always have to get the chicken fried steak with gravy over everything. Eat now before the arteries clog up.",
"Normally this place isn't too bad for breakfast....dinner? Blech! Four adults and one 5 year old went out to dine. Got seated at a table for 4 with little one shoved at the end and out in the way of traffic. Asked for a better sitting area and was told we'd have to wait.....declined and dealt with the cramped area. Our server had all the personality of those watery grits they serve you - bland and bland again. She was rushed, didn't come back to check on us after someone else brought us our food, and at the end just dropped off the check without asking if we wanted dessert or anything else. Hey kid, trust me...we didn't want you as much as you didn't want us!\n\nOur dinners tonight consisted of dumplings with find the one piece of chicken, over cooked and very soft green beans and greens, a cheeseburger with a bun that defied the laws of physics (you press it down to fit a 5 year olds mouth and the damn thing sprung back up!) fries that came after the burger, had to ask for one side veggie that didn't come with the order at first (and lil Miss Sunshine server gave us a look like you want me to go get what???) a pot roast thing that looked like it came prepackaged and was nuked to infinity and beyond in microwave, and fried shrimp (not too bad) and grilled catfish fillet.\n\nNot ever EVER ever going here again for anything but breakfast food. And if I get another server with 'issues' like this again management will be hearing from me ASAP!!!",
"It's a Cracker Barrel ... they are consistent if nothing else. My waitress was a bit odd as I was her only table so she decided it would be fun to just chit chat with me. As I was dining alone it made eating a bit awkward.\n\nEggs were a tad greasier than usual, but still always a meal I look forward to.",
"ATTITUDE PROBLEM -- DON'T WANT ANY MORE CUSTOMERS\n1. Refuse to take reservations\n2. Refuse to seat anybody in the party until every member of the party is standing in front of hostess desk glaring at the hostess -- they are snotty about telling you repeatedly they won't seat anybody\n3. Chaotic, crowded mess, wait times 1 hour +\n4. Seating crowded -- but if you eat here very much you won't be able to fit into their seating, takes care of that problem\n5. FOOD -- ordinary average to mediocre, not worth the wait, about what you would get at a truck stop, we've had better -- what is all the hullabaloo about Cracker Barrel food, we don't get it",
"I've been to a lot of Cracker Barrels and are usually dissatisfied with the temperature of the food. This, however, was the first time the food was out quickly and hot, the waitress (Connie) was excellent and attentive, and they gave us plenty of hashbrown casserole, which is also rare! The only drawback was the smoking section next to us. Even though there was a partial wall with glass separating us, the stench of smoke was still there and made my allergies flare. Other than that, it was great!!",
"Cracker Barrell is always an option when I am craving a nice southern breakfast! I can obviously cook a mean biscuit and my pancakes are pretty amazing, but I like to spoil myself sometime and have someone else cook for me. I enjoy their breakfast food. I can't say I have ever eaten lunch or dinner here. This particular visit I went around 7pm on a Saturday and of course I wanted breakfast! I love how the CB has breakfast all day everyday! This is the way to steal my heart.",
"I loving going to cracker barrel when I get the chance It reminds me of great times and dinners with my grandma when I was much younger. The ambiance, home cooking, and service at the St. Charles location is above and beyond. \n\nIf you want a really neat and personable service ask for Steve! Hes great guy and takes very good care of you!",
"Mama's French Toast Breakfast is the meal I have always gotten at a Cracker Barrel since I first went to a Cracker Barrel in 2003. I have never tried anything else on the menu - even when I showed up for dinner around 10PM. \n\nI love the French Toast. It is a never-fails-you breakfast. When I want to try a new breakfast place and I can't decide, I just go to Cracker Barrel. \n\nAlso, in STL, the St. Charles location IS the absolute best location. My friend who eats at the other location always seems to have horrible service and can't understand why I love the place so much. I keep telling her... no other place is better than the St. Charles location. If you're not at that location, you're gonna have a bad time. \n\nObviously, try not to go around 12-1 on the weekends unless you're prepared to wait. I always forget this.",
"You can never have too much coffee. Or cream. More cream than coffee though. I have been an avid Cracker Barrel fan for sometime, however, it has been so long since I've been! Eating healthy and cracker barrel don't typically go together. I do like that they have options, but saying no to biscuits and apple butter is so hard... because it is SO good. Our service at this location was just alright. Sunday mornings at Cracker Barrel are busy, and unfortunately this means I stared at the bottom of my coffee cup more than I'd like to. The food is tasty and will keep you full for hours. That is a definite plus!\n\nI will probably keep going to cracker barrel, I just have to get better at resisting the biscuits so I don't look like a busted can of biscuits...",
"Had the Old Timer's Breakfast, which included 2 eggs, 2 biscuits (fresh and fluffy), gravy, grits (I should have told them to keep them - I'm just not a grits person), hash brown casserole (very good - I don't like onions, but it was good so I didn't mind), and 2 sausage patties. So I took one biscuit and made a sausage biscuit with strawberry jelly and took the other biscuit and made biscuits and gravy. Nice little variety platter even if it is a lot of food - to get even just a few of these items a la carte would cost just as much or more.\n\nWe came at 7:15am on Saturday, and it wasn't busy at all. But when we left at 8-8:15am, it had filled up but no waiting yet.\n\nIf you need to split your check, even though you don't pay at the table, the servers ask that we request split checks from them."

"Let's see...the staff at Costa's is so very friendly. I love that they always ask if you want a milkshake, even if you've ordered a meal that's already full of fat and calories. Of course when I get lunch from Costa's or any deli I'm not worrying too much about such things. \n\nThe milkshakes are pretty good and good for a snack by themselves, rather than mixed with a cheesesteak and fries :) \n\nSpeaking of fries, they have the best fries and their cheesesteaks are pretty good. They also have great roast pork sandwiches and eggplant parm sandwiches. I wouldn't recommend their hoagies, something about them is off.",
"I loved Costa Deli. I took my then girlfriend their for her first cheesesteak. It's not as great as you'll find on South Street but you'll enjoy the little atmosphere. One evening we were their the family was arguing with eachother, I don't know to me it made the whole atmosphere that much cozier. I really miss this place.",
"The food is good, the milkshakes are great, and the family dynamic is outstanding! If you want a good cheese steak, go somewhere else. If you want to call a pick-up order and arrive 40 minutes later to discover that you still have to wait another 20 minutes, this is the place to go. Despite waiting an extra 20 minutes, you could be in for a real treat. The family dynamic between a father, mother and son matches the comedy of \"Seinfeld\". They will badger, swear and yell at each other while you wait patiently with 4 other customers. You will leave baffled and confused. Just make sure you get what you ordered!",
"I love this little place! They stock a lot of obscure vintage candies as well as a small selection of groceries. Great for when you forgot something for dinner but don't want to drive to the grocery store which can be a half hour round trip when living in Ambler. I've had both their roast pork sandwich and a chocolate malt shake which were excellent. OMG OMG OMG, they have a Guns and Roses Pinball Machine!!!!!! Love it! This is one mom and pop store worth saving, give these guys some business!",
"What can I say about Costa's? \n\nFirst of all, there is NO comparison -- these are the best cheesesteaks and Italian hoagies you will find in the Philadelphia area and suburbs. Anyone who disagrees has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. \nEverything is fresh, homemade, and delicious! Try the tapioca rice pudding - it's amazing!\n\nDavid Costa always has a welcoming smile and suggestion if you aren't sure what to order, offering something you may not have tried yet. He is the grandson of the original owner, Rocco Costa who emigrated from Italy. \n\nThere is a lot of family love in this little corner deli and a lot of Ambler spirit. The family knows 90% of their customers or more - every time I am there and a customer walks in, it's \"Hi, How you doing? Nice to see you again.\" With this kind of spirit and dedication to customer service, Costa's deli is sure to be around for another 60 years. \n\nP.S. There are now homemade cupcakes sold that David' wife makes --- they are to die for!",
"I live about two blocks from Costa's. I go there for one reason... well two reasons. The first is because their milkshakes are the best in the area (breyers ice cream)\n\nThe second reason is to watch the shenanigans that go own between the family that owns & runs the place. There is always some type of argument or tantrum going on. It's usually pretty funny.",
"Freakin' Delish\n\nI had never heard of Costa's despite growing up in the local(ish) area. I stumbled upon this joint because of a Groupon. \n\nI had the eggplant parm and the chicken cheesesteak. Yum-o. Both were delish but I have to say the chicken cheesesteak was fantastic. The bread was freshly made from a bakery, not the supermarket rolls that many places use. This was such a great find -- I can't wait to go back.\n\nA bit of a throwback sort of place -- counter with swivel bar stools and four aisles of various goods and sundries. The people were super friendly to boot.\n\nI shall return when I am in the mood for some fantastic fries and a hella good chicken cheesestak.",
"Very helpful and very old school. Sort of a cross of a deli meets convenience store at first impression, but don't let that put you off. When I shop there I feel as if I'm giving back to the community. The staff is friendly (if not colorful) and there is a great assortment of hard to find items such as ravioli, meats and cheeses you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Their hoagies are excellent, but watch out for the onions cause there's a liberal supply if you're not careful. Will certainly be back for more because I've heard that the milkshakes and cheese steaks are the best in Ambler.",
"Small family owned place...I like going there for an italian hoagie\n\nHad a cheesesteak and roast pork sandwich there which was tasty too",
"Such a cute family owned shop.\n They sell all sorts from hoagies to milkshakes. \n\nMy review is solely based on the Oreo Milkshake I tried.\n\n My Oreo Milkshake was creamy, blended well and wasn't as sweet as I expected. You would think an Oreo Milkshake would give you a sugar rush but it surprisingly had a kick of vanilla and a pinch of Oreos, just the way I like it.\n\n I could even see the man working there make them! Yummy! Definitely recommend to those who live in the suburbs that would like to try a great hand made milkshake!"

"Had a terrific meal here last night. The chef's mother ships in the handmade, homemade mole poblano from Puebla, Mexico. The mole is a truly intense, amazing experience. Another favorite is the guacamole, laced with just the right amount of cilantro. The restaurant is small and simply furnished, but the staff is warm, authentic, and welcoming.",
"Stopped by Que Chula Es Puebla on Saturday night for take-out. The owner was friendly and asked how we wanted the tacos prepared (onions, lettuce, tomatoes, crema). The food took a while even though the restaurant was empty. Or maybe I was just impatient. We ordered rice and beans, bean dip with tortillas, chicken tacos and a chiorizo chimichanga. \n\nOnce home, I opened the bags to find that the tacos were missing from the order. No big deal, it happens. But here's the thing: They deliver, which is great. They should have offered to deliver the tacos that were left out of the order. They didn't. (I don't live that far from the restaurant). They also didn't refund me for the tacos, although I guess I didn't really expect them to.\n\nThe salsas were excellent -- careful of the red one: it's sweetly smoky at first and then it turns into mouth fire. The chimichanga was overwhelming. So much chiorizo and cheese, in a deep-fried flour tortilla. I could only eat about a quarter of it. It was served with some iceberg lettuce and a slice of tomato and avacado. The \"bean dip\" was pureed pinto beans with a smattering of cheese. Tasty and uncomplicated. The rice and beans were rice with the \"bean dip.\" I didn't try the shredded chicken tacos, but my bf says that on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the best tacos ever, they were a 7.5 -- very good, not great.\n \nI really wanted to give this place 5 stars, but the experience itself wasn't awesome. There was a lot to choose from on the menu and I'll definitely be back to check out more.",
"I noticed this place while riding my bike down Master Street one day during my lunch break. I recently moved from San Francisco and was looking for a decent no-nonsense taqueria where I could grab a quick burrito or some tacos.\n\nA couple of days later, I went here for lunch. I was hoping for an order-at-the-counter situation, but I was seated and given a menu. I was also given a little bowl of thick, crunchy chips with refried beans and fresh cheese sprinkled on top and two little cups of red and green salsa. Into it. I ordered a tostada with shredded beef. It took a little while, but it was excellent. I grabbed a menu on my way out.\n\nI've ordered delivery from this place half a dozen times since then. I think the delivery is faster than the table service. As far as the meats go, I've only tried the shredded beef, chicken, and carnitas. Stay away from the carnitas. Bad times. Everything else I've had has been solid.\n\nA brief note about the nachos. While delicious, they do come with some kind of cheese sauce instead of real cheese. Kind of par for the course in Philly, I guess. I only mention it because I wasn't expecting it, but hopped on board pretty quickly.\n\nThe bottom line: cheap, they deliver, and it gets the job done without winning any culinary awards.",
"I've gotten chicken burritos to-go from here twice now. Because the week after I got the first one, I got a craving for another. Both times it was just a good, refried beans, shredded chicken, and rice burrito, and they aren't shy about throwing cheese and sour cream on top. It's not lonely in that styrofoam container either: there's some shredded iceberg, tomatoes, avocado, and two little salsas for good measure. I love that it's so close to my house that i can walk there, and one of these days I will bring friends and tecates. It's very welcoming inside. It's nothing fancy, but it's a much needed a break from the pricier and crowded contempo-mexican of Dos Segundos and Camino Real.",
"It's slim pickins if you're looking to grab a burrito in Fishtown. \n\nSure, you could go to Dos Segundos or El Camino Real in Northern Liberties - but what if you want something more authentic? Or better yet - what if you want delivery?\n\nCheap, better than average, authentic Mexican food gets four stars from me.\n\nTip: Dress warmly if you are dining in the restaurant this winter, I wish they would crank the heat a bit more.",
"I almost don't want to write a review for this place as I want to keep it all for myself. I stumbled across it biking around my neighborhood and have been hooked on the burritos ever since. \n\nMy favorite thing on the menu by far is the roasted pork grilled burrito. The pork is always so tender and flavorful, and it is served with lettuce, tomatoes and avocado slices on the side. I'm also a huge fan of the mushroom quesadillas and the chorizo tacos. \n\nUnlike everyone else I know, I'm not crazy about the guacamole. Its a little too oniony for me, and more tangy that I would prefer. I think the int he batch I had, the onions and the lime juice overwhelmed the avocado deliciousness. \n\nI get takeout from here pretty regularly, and the delivery is always fast.",
"Real authentic Mexican. I loved the salsa and tacos, great carnitas, and some interesting offerings, like pumpkin flower quesadillas. I also love that the owner's mom sends the mole direct from Puebla . I thought the interior was charming and the service very good. Can't wait to go back.",
"I like it, I really do. Tortas and tacos (but no tequila, so they're missing the third T of Mexican food).* My server each time has been super sweet and quick with the water refills. You get free chips and salsa when you eat in, and the green salsa rocks my world. The food is solid but somehow not entirely mouth-watering. Even the torta al pastor (which is also messy beyond belief. My fingers were covered in red afterward). The tacos are good but lacking a little zip. They'll give you extra cilantro if you ask, but I ended up dumping the afore-mentioned green sauce on them since the meat was a little on the dry side. Overall, pleasant but not outstanding. I enjoyed the decor, since it was simple but had random Mexican adornments like serapes and langostas (see accompanying photo). How cute is that little guy? My only regret is that I have not yet tried the flan that LaBan found so earth-shatteringly delicious.\n\n* I made that up, sorry. I then googled \"three T's\" just to make sure they didn't already exist. They don't.",
"I have passed Que Chula Es Puebla on my bike a few times since it opened earlier this year. Because I have the inclination to enjoy most Mexican food that I eat, I was expecting to enjoy Que Chula (almost) no matter what I came across.\n\nWhen I walked in with my friend Lulu, they were blasting (what I think was) Mexican music. Further, I think we were the only native English speakers. This joint felt authentic. Without asking, they turned down the music a bit for us. The place was mostly empty, but clean and generally nice. We sat down right away, and were brought complementary chips. Our server, who I would guess to be one of the owners, was an adorable Mexican woman. She was sweet and attentive.\n\nWe ordered guacamole and chips as an appetizer, and I ordered a slow-roast pork grilled burrito while Lulu got a chimichanga. The guacamole was not the best I've ever had. But for being at 2nd and Master on the 2nd day of spring, I was impressed. Our food took a while, but neither of us minded. When it arrived, we had huge portions in front of us. We both got to the point in our meal where we could have stopped eating and been full, but it tasted so good that we didn't want to stop. In case I haven't made my point, the food really was delicious. Moreover, when you consider that everything was slightly less than $20, it was even more awesome.\n\nI think I've already said enough to sell people on this place. But there is more: BYOB and free delivery. I like to support local businesses, but Que Chula seems to have everything going for it. The menu is extensive enough for me to go back a few times and enjoy myself. Tacos, burritos, and other dishes can be filled with fish, meat or veggies. I would be hard NOT to find something to enjoy here. This is probably the best food you can get in the price range. If you want to go here, let me know. I am down.",
"Three point five stars is more like it!\n\nOrdered Que Chula today because I was jonesing for some Meh-hee-can. It did not disappoint...too much. Delivery was pretty fast, and free! Woohoo! \n\nI ordered the shredded beef chimichanga and beef chalupas. The chimichanga was pretty good...loooaded with cheese, which is kind of my dream. Both dishes came with a spicy salsa and guacamole. The guacamole wasn't anything special, but the salsa stuff was awesome. It has a very nice bite to it. The reason I'm giving three stars was because I really wasn't a fan of the chalupas. They had almost no flavor and it was just a very messy experience [I'm pretty bad at finger foods]. \n\nI would certainly order from here again, and also suggest it to my friends! Very modest pricing for the amount of food you get, and they take credit cards.\nMexican food yummmm."

"Casey's is OK. It's part of a chain (or a mini-chain I know one is in Upper Darby). It's cool, because the 104 used to be a trolley that went down the center of West Chester pike, where the grassy median is now. Casey's has all this railway paraphernalia on the walls and the menu. Now the 104 is a horrible bus that gets caught up in blue route traffic and god I'm glad I work in center city now. \n\nI recommend the crab cakes. They're yummy.",
"Poor service mediocre food. Better to pass.... used to be better.",
"This use to be one of my favorite local restaurants what happened? The service is no longer as good as it use to be, the food is not what it once was.\nAnd worse, when I complained to the captain who has seen me coming in for years he didn't seem to care.\nI wasn't asking for a free meal but an apology for not getting what was included on the menu would have been nice.\nI won't be coming back.",
"It seems fitting, that on the eve of my exodus from Newtown Square, I would finally step foot in the Restraunt closest to my apartment. It is also fitting, that I would do so to celebrate the settlement of my new home in Folsom. \n\nI felt that I was a man of the suburbs, but on perusing the previous reviews of Caseys, I discovered that the Upper Darby and Berwyn Caseys are all part of a chain. I just thought it was a popular restraunt name! How embarrassing! \n\nI don't know why I never had the desire to go to Caseys (Newtown Square). For one, I'm not a seafood fan, and Id heard from others ( my father is apparently a fan) that they had good seafood. I'm also a creature of habit. I work at a restraunt and don't go out to them in my free time often and when I do, id rather pay for what I know is good and what I know Id like. \n\nEither way, I had to snicker when I breached its doorway, that I was finally trying it. I must also admit, that I wouldn't have , if not for my Real estate Agent Bernie, offering to take me out , to celebrate the settlement. His treat, his choice and he was apparently a fan of Caseys as well. Part of me hoped that it wasn't a great experience, so that I wouldn't feel like I missed out on anything. \n\nAnother thing I noticed, from reading existing reviews, was that it got bad reviews, often saying that, \"..it used to be better\". This wouldn't be a problem for me , as Id had nothing to compare it to. \n\nId always imagined what it looked like inside, from just passing by. It was pretty much what I expected. Nicer than a diner but not too fancy. I loved the menu, which took old routes and stations from the area. The Broomall, the Edgemont, The Paoli. Nice little touch for the local in me. \n\nBernie chose Caseys because he claimed that the crab cakes were to die for. He ordered some kind of crab cake on toast , which looked good , but again, I'm not a seafood lover. I may have been in a different place, but my go-to dishes never waver. I got the Reuben ( had it been after 5 I would have ordered meatloaf...thats how I roll!). Sadly, I cant remember the \"town\" that I ordered but that Reuben was one of the best Id had in a long while. It was open faced and just tasty as hell. \n\nThe service was decent.Our drinks were refilled, she was friendly and the whole meal didn't take long. While I was impressed by both the place and my meal, I don't feel too discouraged that I can no longer walk here anymore, although I wish I had given it a shot now and then in my 12 year Marple tenure. \n\nBernie and I parted ways, and as much as I liked the guy, I hope I wont have the need for a Real Estate Agent anytime soon. I have not turned the page on Newtown Square completely. 2 doors down from Caseys is THE best hoagie at A Cut Above, nearby is my favorite corner store Luigi and Giovanni and now I have a great place to grab a Reuben and a beer in Caseys. Maybe its true, that you don't appreciate what you have till its gone.",
"If I were in my early 70s and I was not an adventurous eater, I'd probably love Casey's. The food here is not bad, but not really good. It is filling and throughly mediocre; devoid of creativity, joy or pizzazz. Somehow the place seems to stuck in the late 1970s. The bar is the draw here, but its a strong Medicare (or nearly Medicare) crowd. \"I'll have a whiskey sour with fruit!\"",
"Casey's is an institution in this part of the western burbs. Of course that doesn't mean it's a great restaurant but is an OK restaurant. The atmosphere is dark with lots of booths. There is a medium sized horseshoe bar that also has three booths in the bar area. There are TVs around the bar but they are nothing special. This is not the best place to watch a game.\n\nSpeaking of the bar; it can get busy. It draws a mixed crowd that is older than most. They do free appetizers on slow weekdays to hopefully entice you to stay awhile. The beers are a selection of mostly domestics. The drinks are well made and priced normally for the area. I've used this bar to meet business associates in the area several times and it's worked well.\n \nThe wife and I have eaten dinner here several times over several years. We have never had a bad meal, usually had an OK meal, and occasionally had a great meal. I have had amazing blackened prime rib and the wife has enjoyed excellent broiled scallops. The vegetable sides are usually pedestrian at best. The wait staff has been OK but certainly nothing special.\n\n Casey's has recently begun to open for breakfast seven days a week. I haven't has a chance to try it yet but the menu on their website looks good.",
"Casey's has often been my husband's and my choice for dinner when we are already near or in \"the square\" and are just too tired to cook. The offerings are pretty unremarkable but since the prices are reasonable, we don't expect much more. \nToday, we tried their breakfast for the first time. While the food itself lived up (?) to our low expectations, the service was simply abysmal. We had to wait over a half an hour for our breakfast to appear .... the waitress was MIA (this was not her name, she was just nowhere to be seen) so we had no reassurance that our food was eventually going to arrive at our table. This also meant no refills of our empty coffee mugs. When our meal finally came it was accompanied with the statement that there had been a party of 15 whose ticket was immediately before ours. Ummm .... so? This information should have been presented about 20 minutes earlier .... with a coffee refill. The food was average but both of our toast orders were stone cold. Throughout our meal no body approached us to ask how everything was .... Were they too ashamed? Maybe they just don't care.",
"My mom & I stumbled across this place for lunch & was very happy we gave it a shot. Had delicious french onion soup & 1/2 a chicken salad sandwich on rye (the chicken wasn't shredded & it was a bit dry but I figured that had a bit to do w/me requesting toasted bread). My mom had a lunch special of stuffed shrimp that she said was very good. Our waitress was very nice & personable and the restaurant itself was very clean & had great ambiance. We also had a tasty & reasonably priced Bloody Mary (only $5).",
"Based on my experience here at lunch, it's good. I usually stick with the burgers and sandwiches. The specials are good, well, at least the ones that I or my co-workers ordered. Service is hit or miss as far as attention. If you can, sit at the bar for the best service. This has become a fairly regular place I go for lunch. Even at lunch, it can get a bit busy, but it doesn't feel crowded.",
"Casey's is a Newtown Square mainstay. Its a family friendly restaurant and simultaneously a haunt for an array of regular bar flies. The staff is curt but friendly, and the bar is cozy. They've gone through a renovation in the past year or so that opened up the floor plan a bit and the addition of another television actually turned it into a better place to catch a game than was previously so. Its charming interior is a time capsule for Newtown Square circa 1950, and the bar is set to resemble a trolly car.\n\nThe snapper soup is a go-to if you're not in the mood for a whole entree. As a seafood place its not the best, but still decent. A good bell-weather of a seafood place is the crab cakes and oyster selection. The crab cake was alright, good for a sandwich perhaps. There were no raw oysters on the menu when I was there, though there was a fried oyster app.\n\nThe portions were decent and the draught beer selection was sufficient for a suburban surf and turf place. Plenty of comfort food options like burgers, sandwiches, meatloaf, and pot-pie. The Roast beef sandwich (the Newtown Square) was generously piled and pretty tasty. \n\nMy dad lives out here so I've joined him for a late-night pint a number of times when I visit, and in general it's a good quiet spot if you want a bartender that's easy to strike a conversation with and a mature crowd whose average age is mid-forties."

"Mrs. Robino's is around the corner from Attilio's. When the family gets together, there is usually some major discussion on who is best....Attilio's or Mrs. Robino's The Merino's lived across the street from Mrs. Robino over 40 years ago and are strong proponents for this classic Italian restaurant. The food is wonderful and the staff is great; I think I just like the comfy ambiance of Attilio's better. However, what I like best about Mrs. Robino's is she has these great paper place mats offering drink choices made popular ages ago. There in the middle of the place mat is listed my first drink ever....An Angel Kiss. Mmmmmmmm.....Creme de Cocoa floating on top of cream. It just started the meal out perfectly. Another good point about Mrs. Rubino's is she does take credit cards and is better for a larger group. You cannot go wrong with the classic Italian dishes served at this popular neighborhood restaurant.",
"Visiting the family a few weeks ago while planning my daughters wedding created serious stress which could only be cured with an Italian dinner. Mrs. Robinos has been around for 40 years, old style cooking with decent portions in the Italian section of Wilmington DE. Our party of 10 started with Broc Rob, which was a bit flavorless and needed way more garlic. The wine selection is interesting-you order red or white and you could get a merlot, cab or pinot! (no brand choice)\nOur waitress was about 65 YO, and a 25 year veteran of Robinos. I really wanted the sauce, and promptly ordered a side dish to enjoy the rather bland bread. Very good sauce, but not excpetional. Westside Girl choose the penne pasta with red sauce and olives, pretty tasty. I had the baked ziti with red sauce and tons of cheese, actually quite good. The family passed around our food to share, but the spinach lasagna was worth a return trip. This is old style Italian, has a dive bar, lots of regulars and even plenty of real Italians!",
"This could possibly be my favorite restaurant, ever. I have a great bit of nostalgia tied up in this restaurant, I have been coming here ever since I was a kid. The place is so homey, you feel like you are eating in your grand-mom's dining room. It is certainly a no frills dining experience. From the faux wooden paneling on the walls, to the cheap tables and chairs, and twinkle lights strung across the wall. The funniest thing is that they have been using the same place mats since I can remember going there for the first time. Each place mat has a bunch of mixed drinks illustrated on them, with their ingredients listed underneath each drink (the owner must have purchased a truckload of these in bulk decades ago, because I have never seen them anywhere else, and they are obviously generic). The servers are very friendly, and speak to you as if you are family. Many of them have been there for quite awhile, and that shows through their recognition of all the regulars, and their very colorful personalities. The food is the best Amer-Ital food I have ever had. It's old school spaghetti and meatballs, slathered in homemade red sauce. They offer a wide variety of Italian American staples, all made from scratch. My favorite is the classic cheese ravioli. I have never had a tastier cheese ravioli in my life, you can tell right away it's not something out of a box. Their lobby doubles as their bar, and can get extremely crowded during dinner time, to the point where people are packed in like sardines (with a restaurant that is small AND busy, you can't sacrifice seating space for a waiting area). The actual restaurant comprises, I believe, 4 converted row houses. They simply just knocked out doorways between them and converted each one into a dining area. They also have a large space on the second floor for groups, which I have never seen. I love the dim lighting and old feel to this place, it feels so comfortable and relaxing. I have never heard anyone complain about the food at Mrs. Robino's, so that should be incentive enough to go and try it out. The atmosphere and personality that goes along with this place is just a great bonus you get.",
"Good food. Couldn't ask more for the price either. Make sure to ask for Robin, the manager. She's AWESOME!!! Their blush/rose sauce is quite yummy. And their Chicken Parmigiana Alfredo is quite delicious. \n\nIt's a family-style restaurant with loud-mouthed people. We always have a blast!",
"Have you eaten? What can I make you? You need to eat! \n\nI really wish I didn't live so far away from Mrs. Robino's. I found out about it from my dad who used to take business contacts there for lunch in the days when Mrs. Robino was still with us. It's tasty, affordable, and something about the wood paneling and drop ceiling just says relax... let us feed you something. \n\nMost recently had the cannelloni Florentine which were nice and firm on the outside and came with just enough sauce for there to be some to clean up with bread once the cannelloni were gone. They have a seemingly endless supply of Italian bread, I'm not sure how they find room for all of it.\n\nModest dinner for two came to about $20. They've got some great lunch specials too but sadly I'm rarely in the area around lunchtime. \n\nI think they accept credit/debit but only begrudgingly. They ask on the check that you pay with cash if possible.",
"Very good red sauce Italian place. The spaghetti tasted homemade, and the meatball was very good. The tomato sauce definitely needed the salty pop of added parm. All 7 of us liked what we got, but what raised this to a 4 star review was the fact that the cannoli was probably the best I've ever had. Amazingly rich, thick, smooth and flavorful filling was piped into the shell right before it was brought to the table. The tiramisu was also very, very good.",
"I came here on a Sunday for brunch based on Yelp reviews and found it to be crowded with old people. My mother always said they pick the best food.\n\nMy boyfriend and I were told to pick a seat anywhere in the house so we sat by the window under the TV (which of course was tuned into the Steelers' game). I looked around and realized this place really MUST have been around for 40 years as the homey feel came from the out of date decor and comfortable, friendly staff. \n\nI immediately ordered the fried zucchini and virgin Bloody Mary. I was happy that the bartender used real tomato juice and Worcester sauce instead of a gross mixer. The fried zucchini came right out and was perfect: piping hot, large chunks, a flavorful batter and two choices of ranch dip.\n\nThe bread came out as regular white sliced baguette with butter packages so I poured some olive oil in the small plate and added salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese for dipping. A salad came with my order and I am sorry to say there was way too much house vinegar in the house vinaigrette. But I lived.\n\nMy entree was brought out: four large stuffed shells that were just smothered in melted provolone cheese and tomato sauce. By that and by that point I'd had too much to eat so did my best to eat like a champ and took the rest home. My boyfriend's order was a huge bowl of gnocchi in garlic, parsley and olive oil. Not the best combination but that was his bad. \n\nI was a little sorry to leave because it is totally a place to relax and have a good time. I only wish there were places like this where I live.",
"good family meals and clearly a family staff. i love the layout and \"homey\" feel to the place",
"My in-laws like this place. It definitely has that old time italian feel. The prices are super cheap, but the food it also cheap. Very blah homey italian food.",
"My wife and I visited this place with high hopes, as it had been recommended by a few different people. It was a disappointing experience, because this place is pretty unimpressive. The food tastes like they just got it off the shelf at Acme. The decor is dated, which wouldn't be a problem if the food was good, but it isn't. The staff, however, is very friendly."

"The Bonefish Grill has a Gluten-Free menu with tons of options and great food.\nThe Grilled Fish choices are great and so is the Mango Salsa.\n\nAlthough I am not a huge fan of chain restaurants the Bonefish Grill is a great place to eat with family and friends.\nThe menu is varied without being overwhelming, you can order any of the grilled fish varieties and then add the sauce of your choosing, including: Mango Salsa, Chimichurri, Lemon Butter and Pan Asain. All of the sauces are delicious but if you want a little spice then go for the Pan Asain. If you are looking for a clean refreshing spin on grilled fish then go for the Mango Salsa. \nAs for appetizers I would reccommend the Bang Bang shrip. They are Fried Shrip with a tangy and spicy sauce that is a delicious warm up to your grilled fish entree. \nFinally the Angler Steak is also of note since it is a nice 2\" thick cut of steak and at least for me it was prepared perfectly, so there are Turf options out there if you don't want to have fish.\n\nAll in all its a nice relaxing place to take family and friends for a good meal with people you enjoy being around.",
"It's a chain, but they have consistently GOOD food. I don't care what you order, it will be better than most.\n\nThis time we had the sampler of some sort. Salmon, grouper, sea bass and shrimp. It really was enough for two, and very well presented!",
"5-stars all the way. My wife and I love the atmosphere, great service, wine selection and superb food. Close to home, will go there often!",
"So we went to BF on a Sunday night. It was 5 of us at a table and we sat near the bar. Our waiter was a really nice guy, I can't remember his name but big guy w/ tattoo's on his arms.. Some of the other wait staff seemed pretty attentive to everyone around us as well. We ordered a few apps. & meals, and everything was really good.. Edamame was great, and the buffalo shrimp was fantastic... Had a few good specials to choose from, so made it hard to choose one.. The only thing that bugged me, was the front door.... Why, well it was nice and dark in there and every time some one came in it was like a vampire's worst night mare... It turned out to get dark out by the end of diner....",
"Yes, I know it's a mega corporate chain, but it's also one of the best restaurants in the area. Great service for the most part, good food and prices.",
"Very comfortable and relaxing and feels more top notch high class than a Red Lobster. I had the house seafood soup and it was fantastic, a bit spicy but not too much!! For dinner I had the Rainbow Trout and it was Excellent. Had some of my friends Shrimp and fettucini noodles and it was great!! I want to come back here!!!!! A l",
"Another chain skimps - I've been eating in bonefish at least once per month since the first one opened in St Pete years ago. \nsalad used to be great - now it's iceberg lettuce and wilted greens\ntuna shashimi had 4 pieces of tuna\nSteak was lower end than walmart\n\n\n\nprices are up - quality is way down. Think I'll go to ihop next time. \n\nhope someone in corporate reads this.",
"Once you step into the Bonefish Grill you will forget it's a 'chain' restaurant. It feels more like that good local place Mom & Dad use to take you for those special times.\n\nThough not a real Fish fan, you'll want to start with the Bang Bang Shrimp - everyone seems to love it.\n\nThe other night we were in with our teen Son and a friend of his - a pre High School dinner. Tyler & I had the 8 oz Filet Mignon [I wish they offered a 10 or 12 oz], Mary had the Norwegian Salmon, and Nic paired the Cold Water Lobster Tails & 6 oz Filet.\n\nWhile everything looked good and was served in a timely manor, and they kept the warm bread coming for us guys, Tyler's Medium Filet was a bit undercooked. Upon notice [by a very professional waiter] the Manager came over and politely asked to remove and replace his meal. Agreed, this to was done timely, and his dinner [and its replacement] was removed from the bill.\n\nWe don't dine out a lot due to a rigorous scholastic and sports schedule, sure there are the after game trips to the burger or wing chains, but when we do have the time, and want to sit like a Family unrushed and without being over toned by the bar's tv, we go to Bonefish - where people remember what good dining, service and food is supposed to be.",
"Dine there once a week....Great Food, Great Service, Great Everything.....\nLast night had the Stone Crab Appetizer.....It was fantastic. Also being from Miami area, (Joe's Stone Crabs)\n\nAlso, Sunday Brunch...Yummy, Best Bloody Mary's ever....FRESH.....",
"one of my favorite 's in trinity. food, wine and service excelent"

"I'm a fan. This is my favorite coffee shop in IV because they serve a strong cup of coffee. They actually have a nice variety of regular coffees. They have a nice selection of baked goods and sometimes they give you a free cookie. \n\nIts a cool place to get some studying done or just to sit outside in the sun and take in all that is Isla Vista.",
"I love I.V Drip. I use to love it more when this really hot guy use to work there but I still go all the time for their hot chocolate. It is smooth, creamy, delicious and not powdery. They are also the only place in I.V that has ice cream on a cone and donuts. I.V Drip helps me get through the day. I usually stop by before class, in between classes and when I need a latte for a late night study session. Wow, I just realize I am there a lot.",
"cookiewich!! i'm not happy how the price keeps climbing....it started with $1.25 for two freshly baked cookies and a scoop of dreyer's ice cream...now its $1.95, but its still under 2 bucks so its great. \n\nbut whatsup with the funky change? 2 dollar bills and a bunch of different 1 dollar coins?",
"I absolutely love the almond croissants. Especially in the morning when they're freshly baked and oohhhh sooo good!",
"For breakfast, I like getting their breakfast croissants with cheese, tomatoes, eggs, and lemon pepper. It's one of my favorite little breakfast places to go if I'm in a hurry. For a little night time dessert, I come here for the yummy little cookiewiches. They're a little pricey, but more reason for me to not be tempted to have one everyday. I've had other stuff here, it's all been pretty good. No complaints.",
"the menu is all hand-written and you cant tell what is what.. i have to say the 2dollar coockiewiches are about the only thing i would buy from this place. the frozen yogurt is absolutely disgusting. i dont know what they mix in it. it would rather be better if they just sold vanilla yogurt instead of trying to make it tart. i literally had to toss it out. they should just stick to dreyers ice cream. \n\nanother complaint is that they charge extra for ANY credit. wassup with that?",
"I really love the name.\nMy sister and I walked around IV on a dead Sunday night (yes I said dead and IV in one sentence) when I came to visit and we walked in here for some tea. We didn't get anything else but those cookiewiches looked bomb...it was just freezing out.\nAnd the girls that were working were really friendly, which I am always surprised by in college-y places.\nAnnnnd I have a $2bill as a souvenir! How cool is that??",
"The perfect place to go when I'm craving ice cream (which honestly isn't often). My friend is obsessed with their cookiewiches. I usually just go for a single scoop of ice cream ($2.00) which is the perfect amount for me -- not too much, and not too little. I'm not really into super sweet ice cream, so I love that they have \"Espresso Chip\" there. Not quite as good as Ben & Jerry's \"Coffee Heath Bar Crunch\" but definitely fixes my craving. You can also add a cookie to your scoop for $0.25 (their M&M cookies are bomb).",
"Coffee Good to the Last Drip\n\nIs anyone else out there tired of the large chains that somehow seem to capture all the coffee customers? I know I am! Well, if you are ever in the Santa Barbara, CA area, drop into IV Drip. It is a little hole-in-the-wall coffee shop that I found in a bold effort to not only escape from my regular pattern of purchasing \"populous coffee\" (that is, the coffee that everyone else in the neighborhood is buying) but also support the local economy as well.\n\nIts many distinctive features from your regular old java drip include relaxing patio seating, at least one flavored coffee selection and a daily specials board donning any and all sizes of frapacinnos being sold for the bargain price of $2.75 as a celebration of something called \"Frappy Days and a free small coffee being offered to any and all breakfast sandwich buyers.\n\nSo, drop into IV Drip and delight in much more than just your daily drip!",
"I enjoy coming to this place every once in awhile. Their cookiewiches are amazing and the choices you can make are great. Price is very reasonable and the quality of the icecream and cookies are just right. If you want ice cream and a cookies don't look any further then this place."

"My son and I drove through for a treat after a nearby appointment today. We received super friendly, professional, & humorous service! It was the best service I've ever received at a DQ!",
"My dining trio headed here after a great dinner nearby. That's my husband, mother and I. This DQ is in a gas station where Rudasill Rd. meets Oracle Rd., so don't miss it! Easy parking on the side.\n\nWe've gone a few times (for Gary and my mom). I exercise a little restraint and just grab an extra spoon and taste Gary's (so he orders extra because he knows he's in for a dessert reduction in the form of sharing with his wife)! The help there is usually younger gals, although we've had all ages serve us. Nice people and fast service. And let's not forget to mention the goods themselves--pretty darn tasty!\n\nSpecial mention: this last time, my mother ordered the turtle brownie blizzard, which she had just had a few days earlier, too. (OK, she got the mini size so she wan't that naughty!) However, I could see she was disturbed as there were no detectable pecan nuts and less of the goodies in this blizzard. We simply mentioned it and the counter help was all over it to make it right, pronto. They said they were training a new person. My mom was like a happy kid again, savoring her blizzard! Well done, DQ! They make great treats for the entire family. \n\nTIP: I believe they have a senior night discount (over 55?) on Tuesdays. TIP2: Fun photos and memorabilia of old DQs on the wall here. Check it out while enjoying your treats! Trivia: how old is DQ? Older than you think! (The answer is on the wall in this DQ)",
"One of the best Dairy Queens in Tucson. It may be hard to find since it shares a storefront with a gas station but the drive thru is excellent, i.e. fast and super friendly. The dining room inside is very nice compared with the Ina Rd location that has only one counter and 5 bar stools. There are a few \"fun\" machines for the kids and lots of nostalgic photos for us seniors to go down memory lane.",
"Pretty sketchy; my butterscotch dipped cone smelled like old popcorn was inedible and my sister saw a rat in the restaurant once.",
"Just had the BEST blizzard ever! It was the Oreo birthday cake with extra stuff! Sure am happy I went with a medium and not the mini.",
"Just ate the BEST blizzard ever! The Oreo birthday cake with extra stuff, sure am happy I went with the medium and not the mini!",
"Ok. \n\nIt's an ok place for quick fast food. Staff is pretty unattentive. Not much different than what you'd expect for fast food on a Friday night. \n\nOrdered ice cream but it was overfilled. Cashier didn't know about the ingredients in many items. \n\nStore is attached to a gas station and also sells cute collectibles.",
"This is the cleanest, friendliest and greatest Dairy Queen in Tucson. They have friendly employees and they make your order quickly. They also do a lot in the community. I have stopped in several times and they are having a fundraiser to support a school or sports team.",
"This is a great location that is consistently clean, quick and friendly. The DQ and OJ products are spot on. I appreciate the ability to special order and they have never gotten the order wrong!! Yeah for a great business.",
"Best DQ. They had left the door unlocked before they actually opened and we're so nice to let me and my children come in and order. Best customer service ever. They didn't even act bothered that we were there and were so nice."

"I've been here twice. First time on opening day just a few days ago. I've had the sugar-free toasted marshmallow coffee and it was really good. Today, I tried the sugar-free chocolate cherry coffee which had a stronger coffee flavor (something I asked for) and it was equally good! My daughter had the frozen zebra coffee drink and she couldn't get it down fast enough! We also split a 12\" baked sub. I love that you can turn any specialty pizza into a baked sub! We ordered the pepperoni and it was really good! Great customer service, super friendly staff and good food and drinks. Sounds like a winning formula! Definitely be back because they are so much better than Starbucks!!!",
"This is going to be my new go-to pizza and coffee place in the area! I absolutely love it. There is a wide variety of both pizza and coffee, with so many unique and different flavors. I had the Carnivore's Delight pizza and breadsticks and loved both. The pizza had great taste and a good crunch. The breadsticks were yummy and different. They actually seemed kind of like a pretzel. I also had a chai tea latte and it was probably the best I've had. \n\nEveryone working was extremely nice and polite. I had a chance to talk to the owner and he was very friendly and personable! The prices are also VERY reasonable. \n\nSome great things this business offers: \n- Rewards punch cards for purchasing 16 or 20 oz coffees\n- Half off coffee flavors of the week (check their social media for what the flavor is!) \n- The first of each month is a Dollar Day -- choice of coffee for $1! \n- All of their pizzas can be turned into a sub sandwich \n\nI would love to see Coffee Pizza Junkiez stay in the area and thrive! It's so good - check it out today! \n\n\nThe only thing I'm not wild about is that the marketing is a little confusing. There are separate social media pages for Coffee Junkiez that only posts about their coffee, and Pizza Junkiez that only posts about pizza. I would love to have all of the info and posts in one place.",
"Tried the Cajun Heat after the employee recommended it. It was so good. Packs a kick too with the jalapeños. Have also had a couple lattes, one hot and one frozen. Both great. I've been waiting for this place to open since they put their coming soon sign up a while back and they definitely didn't disappoint. Will be making this my regular for coffee fix and anytime we wanna try some new pizza",
"Great variety off pizza and plenty off toppings. Highly recommended!! Got the 10\" Dorito and Carnivore pizza.",
"We checked out the Pizza Junkiez tonight at the corner of Stop 11 and Shelby Street. \n\nWow!... they have over 20 specialty pizza to choose from. We tried the Pepperoni- Mania tonight. Very good... thinking about trying the \"Ricky Bobby\" next time. \n\nLooks like they are a coffee shop in the mornings with reasonable prices and lots of choices! I took a picture of som of the syrups offered.",
"LOVE. Love the service. The drive thru. The pizza. Bern waiting for years since relocating from Illinois for a great taco pizza. It's not Happy Joe's but it makes me happy. Can't wait to try the coffee. When I do will post updates",
"I would give an extra half star if it would let me for the bread sticks. But I just don't get the fawning love. The pizza wasn't anything to be excited about, too little sauce, too little cheese, speciality pizzas have weird undesirable sauce combinations. Staff was friendly & efficient.",
"I called in a carry out order last night for two pizzas, for a family get together. The service over the phone, as well as in store, was excellent and professional. \nThe pizzas were perfect! Kids and adults were very happy with the decision of trying Pizza Junkiez for the first time. Excited to try more of their specialty pizzas very soon.",
"I just tried Coffee Junkiez after an ad for their Zebra Drink popped up in my Facebook feed. It was so delicious! The staff was incredibly nice and the service was fast. This will be my new go to place for coffee.",
"Among walking in, it looked like nothing special, the menu was somewhat overwhelming so I order my usual caramel macchiato and Alec got a Red Eye. Both were enjoyable! \n\nLater, after reviewing the menu we decided to order a pizza! So many choices but we went for the cheesy garlic bread an a small chicken spinach Alfredo pizza (olives on my half) perfect for two!\n\nDELICIOUS! \n \nFull of fresh ingredients and gooey cheese! \nNo regrets. \nI'm hoping to try the Picasso next time!"

"Solid and consistent pizza. Fries are okay. Service is good. Cheesesteaks and chicken cheesesteaks are okay. Prices are reasonable.",
"Pizza and steak sandwiches are decent, sometimes the steak sandwiches can be very fatty and the meat not properly cut/prepared. Overall prices are good and service is usually decent. Good food overall.",
"I come here to pick up lunch about once a week or so because it's near work. Food is consistently good and very cheap (I've never spent more than $5)\n\nMy go-to is a warmed slice of pizza and a side salad. I would consider the salad \"gourmet\", larger than expected and with very fresh ingredients (red onion, roasted peppers, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, croutons). The pizza is also a larger-than-normal portion, they don't overdo the toppings so the thin crust will still hold up. \n\nHaven't tried dinner yet but would like to soon!",
"We've tried this place a number of times -- only take out so far. All the people picking up the phone and at the counter have been nice. Pizza is good. It's the usual mom and pops pie you'll get. The sauce is not the best, but doesn't hurt it. We've had a few sandwiches and bigger meals. All good. Their cheesesteaks are one of the better ones we've had, outside of Philly. I'd recommend them!",
"We were hosting a party for a relative and I usually prepare all food for parties by myself however with time constraints my wife and I thought it would be best to order some catering. So she handled the ordering and ordered Chicken Parm, Penne ala vodka, wraps and garlic knots and salad. I was nervous about the Chicken Parm and how well would it hold up and the amount of food. WELL I worried for no reason. The Chicken Parm was delicious and we had more then enough food. So I want to say Thank you to the owner and his employes for a job well done. I highly recommend the catering.",
"They have the best white pizza in the area, hands down. And they have a cool promotion on Tuesdays that you pay what time you call your pizza order in. If you call at 6:30, you pay $6.30. Not bad!\n\nMy family thinks their cheesesteaks and other similar sandwiches are a little dry and bland; we prefer Amadeo's. And our family gets our chicken/veal parm sandwiches from Gino's because they supposedly bake them compared to Nonna Rosa, which fries them. (They taste the same to me.) We've never had their soups, but our neighbors like them.\n\nWe've never eaten in, I don't think they have AC, but they have a pretty big TV in one corner. We just do take-out, which works great for us.",
"We ordered take out from Nonna Rosa Pizzeria for the first time last week.... and probably the last. The \"boneless wings\" are TERRIBLE. They are basically dried out pieces of chicken (I hope it's chicken anyway) drenched in watery barbeque sauce. The sweet potato fries were not bad but could have used a little more seasoning in my opinion. My boyfriend said his fish sandwich was not very good but that the fries were ok. The reason I gave Nonna Rosa 2 stars and not just one is for the calzone and Stromboli which were very good. Also, I will say their customer service on the phone and in-store was good. \nOverall, not the best first impression. There are SO many different pizza places to order from in the area so, unfortunately, I don't think we will be ordering from Nonna Rosa again. :(",
"Nonna Rosa Pizzeria has the BEST Chicken Parm!!! The NICEST people to work with.. I can't say enough about how much they go out of their way to help out with catering needs. SO Friendly. We always order from there and have NEVER been dissapointed... For your next function. Order the Chichen Parm with the garlic knots. You will get so many compliments and you won't be sorry with the service!!!",
"Nonna Rosa's has solid pizza, but it's far from the best in the area. Their cheese is decent, their sauce is above average, and their crust is pretty blah. Also, their large pie is more like a slightly bigger medium--but the atmosphere in the restaurant is nice, the pizza does taste good, and it's priced fairly. I haven't had anything but their pizza, but I've heard they've got absurd deals on family meals. It's certainly a place worth stopping for.",
"Nonna Rosa is our go-to pizza joint. Their pies never disappoint. Our favorite toppings have to be the egglplant parm and meatballs; delicious. Prices are reasonable too especially if you save their coupons from those moneymailer coupon packs. I also just noticed that you can take 10% off your bill if you go to their website to place your order, I'll have to try that next time. \n\nIn addition to their great pizza they also do a wonderful catering business. We've used them 3 times now for events at our church and the food and service were fantastic. They provide a wide variety of selections at a great price."

"BonChon, welcome to Philadelphia, and welcome to Chinatown. \nI called to make sure they were open, and when I got there I realized it was their soft opening day, I ordered my lunch to- go so this is more of a preview until I dine-in properly!\n\nSome take home notes:\n1/ BonChon is Korean for \"My Hometown\" or \"origin\"!\n\n2/ My Order: I ordered the combo of wings and drums with a mix of Hot sauce and Soy Garlic sauce. The Chicken was so D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. Crisp shell from the outside and juicy and tender from the inside. The garlic soy chicken was not overpowering or garlicky, which I liked. The spicy chicken, however, Oh boy! After the first bite, I jumped off my seat to grab the fire extinguisher!! As soon as the chicken hit my tongue, the steam came out of my mouth & ears like immediately! Still LOVE it!! Those were serious wings!\nAfter a couple of sips of water I enjoyed the side of Kimchi Coleslaw, even the salad is Spicy, whoever invented this dish is a genius. A cool & crunchy slaw and a tangy kimchi. My latest obsession.\n\n\n3/ very Yummy chicken but the waiting time was more than one hour, I'm sure service will be improved- it's just the first day, and with the solid chicken they have I'm not concerned. \n\n4/ An insider told me that the key is the spices they use, and their secret is that they import their spices from Korea so no one can copy the recipe! \n\nWill be Back soon to burn my tongue BonChon! See ya\n\nThree Yelps!",
"My fiancé and I are big fans of BonChon and have been waiting for this place to open in Chinatown for quite some time. When I heard news that they were having a soft opening today, I hopped in the car and headed straight to Chinatown and told my fiancé to meet there!\n\nUpon arriving at the location first, I was a bit confused on the entrance itself; you have to enter through the sliding doors of the adjacent Sleep Inn. Even with this design, I could still feel a cold draft throughout the dinner as I was seated in the corner along the windows/glass doors. They may want to consider adding a temporary second door just for the winter (if permitted by Sleep Inn?) with their logo to make it more identifiable.\n\nThe decor has a more modern look and k-pop music videos are blasting out of one of the television sets. Seating can become a bit cramped, as I was elbowed a few times by a group of 6 sitting behind me. At one point, another had leaned on my back for an awkward five seconds as if it was a restaurant version of the \"moon-landing.\" I was like oh, hay now!\n\nBeing their soft opening, there was a limited menu of chicken and seasoned fries; I had wanted to try the Salmon avocado ball & bulgogi sliders, but I suppose that will have to wait until next time! I had arrived at 5:30PM and decided to start off with an order of the seasoned fries prior to my fiancé arriving. I later added an order of the half & half (soy garlic & hot sauce) medium combo (9 wings & 5 drumsticks).\n\nIt is now 6:00PM, and we had noticed that the adjacent table (seated 20 minutes after us) had received their order of fries when I had only one glass of water between the two of us. We flagged down a different waitress (because we had not seen our waitress since I received my one glass of water) and notified her of the situation & need for additional glass of water. Shortly after, out comes the bonchon and order of fries. We were informed that they were waiting on the chicken to come out together with the fries. This didn't seem to be an adequate explanation given fries are clearly listed as an appetizer and bonchon was the main course. \n\nMoving onto the actual food: the first thing we noticed was their unconventional implementation of actual drumsticks! I was not expecting full-sized drumsticks even though their menu had denoted such. We decided to tackle the soy garlic drumsticks first. For two people who were starving, we were not impressed. Because of its size, the flavor did not completely penetrate and was relatively mild when compared to Cafe Soho's soy garlic. Not only that, but for something that you were waiting on, the chicken should not come out luke-warm (which may have also contributed to the slightly soggy and chewy texture). The wings, being smaller, were a bit more flavorful but still lacked a crunch that I'd expect from being double-fried. Even the staple side dish of daikon radishes, which came out in a generous portion, was somewhat disappointing. Typically, it is served in a bowl with some liquid at the bottom, but in this case, it was served completely drained. The radishes were left lacking in tartness and became dry over the course of the dinner. The fries, however, held up its crunch/warmth throughout the dinner. (Quite possibly because that was actually what we were waiting for?)\n\nIt is now 6:20PM, and we finally receive a second glass of water. It came out in a Yeungling pint glass, so I'm assuming they ran out of regular glasses and it took some time to find a second glass to serve water in. This is where we meet our second and official waitress as she introduces herself. \n\nOverall, our initial experience was mediocre at best and pales in comparison to their counterpart restaurants in New York. With their grand opening being tomorrow, I hope they are able to make at least a few adjustments with both kitchen and wait staff. A majority of the staff seemed inexperienced and there were moments when my fiance noticed the waiters were just standing around staring at each other like it wasn't busy at all. I'll most likely return in a few months to see how the rest of the menu is and if the bonchon has improved; sticking only to the wings. Other than that, Cafe Soho may still be the place to go for bonchon even though it is a further drive for us.",
"YAY, BonChon is finally here in Philly! \n\nI came here during their soft opening for dinner, and the place was pretty packed. They have an upstairs area, which allows for more area for seating. This is great since I'm pretty sure BonChon is going to get packed really quickly especially for the next few months. There's also a fully stocked bar which is awesome. They have tv's all around the place, mostly playing sport games or Kpop videos. \n\nFor our group of three, we ordered the XL drumstick and wing combo with half soy garlic and half hot sauce along with an order of their seasoned fries. Our waiter was a sweetheart and was great with checking in to let us know how our order was coming along. The fries came out in a timely manner, and they were pretty good and had a good crunch to them. They reminded me of garlic fries so nothing that exceptional about the flavor or seasoning they used. \n\nThe chicken took an incredibly long time to come out. I understand that it was a soft opening, and they're probably swamped in the kitchen but I felt like it took an unnecessarily long time for food to come. Our waitress had to keep checking in and apologizing for the long delay. About 40 minutes later, the long awaited wings finally came out! The drumsticks are full-sized drumsticks! I had no idea haha. I decided to try the hot wings first. Warning: they are much spicier than you think. My mouth was on fire!!! If you can handle spice, then go for these babies. You'll probably enjoy them much more than I did. The wings do come with a side of daikon to cool off the heat from the spice, so hopefully that helps. I couldn't eat more than two of those hot ones. I stuck to the yummy soy garlic, which were oozing with flavor! The best part of the meal was probably the texture of the chicken. Perfectly crisp and crunchy on the outside and juicy and tender chicken on the inside.\n\nBonChon is off to a great start in Philly, but there are still many improvements to be made, especially in terms of efficiency and timeliness. I have hope for you, Bonchon! Welcome to Philly!",
"Heads up to all, the takeout menus given out with each order are currently misprinted - at least for the lunch special portion.\n\n- Misleading menus & false advertisement; I ordered the 8pc wing lunch special (as told over the phone), but the takeout menus show a 5pc wing set (false!). I came back to my apartment with 6pcs drums and 2 pcs wings. WHAT IS REAL? I just want my wings.\n- Dry wings w/ little to no sauce; I prefer Cafe Soho's saucy yet crispy soy garlic wings\n- Mediocre sides (pickled daikon) where someone got a little too heavy-handed with the vinegar\n\nOverall, I'm not too pleased with BonChon. Even though it's only their first day officially opening, the star of the show really should be their chicken - and currently it is very lackluster. I'm hoping that they will be able to clear up their confusion with the menu, and improve on the quality and taste of their chicken so that I won't have to make the trek over to Cafe Soho! Until they do so, I will be taking my business elsewhere.",
"Decent experience during grand opening day 2/19/2015 (Happy New Year!!!)\n\nCold as heck, wanting to warm up to some (spicy) fried chicken. It is a bit awkward where the entrance is located. I assume because it is winter, you have to enter through the sliding doors of the motel entrance then make a quick left. \n\nWe lucked out when we arrived and there was no wait for a table. The bad part, we were the first table in front of the entrance. Unfortunately, it was not the best seat in the house. I strongly suggest the managers/owners to place a clothe over the first entrance door to try and attempt to shield the cold winds from getting into dining area (particularly where i was sitting). Put the logo on it too so patrons know where to go. \n\nThe wait staff seemed to be a mix of experienced and inexperienced. I felt we had a semi-inexperienced waiter that tried very hard (maybe grand opening nerves). Overall, he did well--friendly and attentive, all you really need. \n\nThe space i thought would be bigger since it was potentially \"two stories\". But the second story is half the square footage of the downstairs which is home to the bar. From what i could tell, the bathroom situation is a single (downstairs) I felt they could've fit 2 bathrooms if they tried, since the single was pretty spacious. Is there another one i don't know of? \n\nAs we were dining, there definitely a lot of take out customers. This may or may not cause a delay in the kitchen, which i think happened to us. \n\nI EXPECTED to wait at least 20 minutes for the wings...why? because they should be \"double fried\" which results in longer cooking time. We did 8 half and half. I just had SoHo, so i can probably compare with accuracy...i'll say it here, the BonChon soy and hot are better than SoHo. However, the Bonchon wings were 'warm' not piping hot which i'd prefer at SoHo (i sat by door, so it got colder quicker). The spicy is crazy spicy, the soy is perfectly salted...and well balanced. The daikon was not that pickled, but still good. \n\nWe ordered the japchae and fried rice (chicken). These two dishes came AFTER the wings.. which was weird since they are basically stir fries. I thought they both were delicious, the japchae being a tad sweet for my taste. They were both piping hot so that was great. \n\nOverall, i was impressed with the execution of the kitchen. They really got their flavors down and hope that they stay consistent, especially the wings as this is such an ideal location for korean fried chicken (compared to the other establishments in Philly). \n\nPS. Because of my seat, I was constantly directing people to not use the door \"next to my table\" and use the entrance at the motel. I felt like I was a staff member! Future discount for my services perhaps??!! jk. Place a sign on the window to alleviate confusion. \n\n Overall, another great addition to the Philadelphia Chinatown scene. Definitely becoming a food mecca (with drinks to boot).",
"First of all i wish you guys the best of luck with the new business. Now let's get to the point. I came on the grand opening night and ordered for take out at 6:30pm i ordered for 20pcs strips and one of the hostess/waiter said it will take about an hour, and i was fine with it and try to kill an hour. An hour pass and i came back thinking it was done and what did i get? I get an apology saying that \"we RAN OUT strips and the kitchen guys did not inform me. would you like to switch to wings instead?\" So i politely ask her \"ok change it to wings but how long is it going to take? Are you going to rush the order out?\" And she said \"oh if i put this order in you will have to wait another hour, I'm so sorry for this.\" So i waited and kill an hour of my life for nothing in this 15° weather. Owner/manager would not even do anything. Thanks bonchon philly!! You guys rock!!",
"Too cold. Too slow. Too expensive. My friend and I waited for 30 to get a table, which was acceptable. We would've left and eat else where if we knew the wait for the food was 90 minutes AFTER we sat down and ordered because everyone ordered take out and the kitchen was backed up. We ordered pan an as appetizer, which did not come out until 70 min after we sat down and after we asked the waiter to bring it out first.... The worst part was that pancake was 14 dollar and it was the size of my hand.... There wasn't even scallion on it.... \n\n\nTwo star because the chicken was good. Or else it would've been a one.",
"Worst Grand opening day ever ! I understand that it was crazy packed but I walked in there to try and get a table for three but no one cared to took care of me as if I even existed . I walked right back out and decided to go eat elsewhere . Maybe I'll give a better rating next time .",
"I am hoping they get more consistency in the next few weeks. The grand opening was horrendously prolonged and once they did open it has been rocky.\n\nOrdered the wing and drumstick combo with half&half lunch special with the pickled radish. The chicken was less meaty than what you get at Cafe Soho but the sauce and crisp level are good.\n\nThe radishes were poorly done. They tasted fresh but didn't have the correct flavor. It appears they did not give the radish enough time to pickle prior to serving them.\n\nThe servers seemed a touch disorganized as well. When asked for utensils, they seemed to struggle to find them. That seems a touch ridiculous for a restaurant to struggle when you ask for a fork. \n\nThe final straw for me with this place was they decided last minute NOT to open today for lunch. I think the fact that they keep on having last minute changes leads me to not expect consistency with them. I wish them luck with their endeavor but not sure when I will be returning for another meal. Despite Cafe Soho being much further, it is definitely worth the drive at this point in time.",
"Omg! Love this place! The question is are you addicted? Yes!! Absolutely! I went to the soft opening and the food was amazing!! I had the spicy & non spicy wings of course! They were amazing!! So much flavor and juicy...and even better and bigger then the ones I had at soho. I also had the bulgogi sliders.. So delicious.. I didn't get to try the others but I will definitely be there again! Besides the food... The customer service were awesome! If you think the services were bad then I suggest you go to soho!! Because they're a piece a crap! I'm so glad that bon chon finally open in China town so I don't have to go to the soho in north! See you soon!"

"Only one visit to Floga Bistro, but I don't plan to return. Two entrees came to the table including mine...and both were drenched in butter. A side of pasta yielded the absolute worst \"pasta\" sauce I've ever tasted in my life. Seriously, something was way wrong with this stuff.\n\nI hear from a friend the owner's are Greek, and some of the Greek cuisine is good. But, they are billed as an Italian restaurant. \n\nNot sure how this place can entice me for a return visit.",
"My wife and I come here regularly. Not the best place in town but good. The kabob salad and BBQ chicken pizza are both great!",
"We,ve been here several times with friends & family. Always great service & food. Can't beat the BYOB",
"We've been here many times with friends. Havn't been dissapointed. It's good food & friendly service. It's BYOB",
"Good sandwhiches and hamburgers! Chips they come with are awesome. Great for office delivery!",
"I have never been disappointed. I love the Bella burger (burger with portobello. Mushroom and Gouda cheese) and also the fettuccini vegetable. The burger is big and juicy. The fries are nice and crispy and fresh. My only complaints are that the entrees are a little on the expensive side ($15- 22) without including the salad; also the kids meals are more expensive but smaller portions than other places. No diaper changing station either so maybe they are trying to discourage people from bringing kids?? But the food is really good. Almost forgot to mention this great house dressing- its a vinaigrette with a bin of kalamata olives. Very tasty food and the owner ( the woman ) is always working when I come in during the day and is so sweet!",
"Good service - OK food\n\nI recently visited on a Sunday night. There were 2 older guests in our party and the staff was very helpful getting us seated at table that could accommodate guests who needed to use walkers. The waiter said it was only his 2nd week, and he did not know the menu well. He was very friendly and helpful.\n\nThe restaurant is BYOB which was fine. The food was spotty. Veal Piccata, Chicken Piccata, and Eggplant Parmigiano were all really good. Calamari - both fried & grilled - was awful. The soup was wonderful. \n\nAll in all, I would not mind being invited to eat there again, but I would not rush there on my own.",
"It is ludicrous to call that food.\nMy expatiation were not high to begin with, but the execution was far below.\n\nNever again!",
"We will never return. We purchased a Groupon, placed and picked up our order while in Kennett Square visiting relatives. We arrived home, opened our pizza box and found a cheese pizza rather than the Floga Gourmet we'd ordered. I called and the person I talked to was totally unconcerned and did not offer to rectify the situation. The appetizer we ordered was okay but not something we'd order again. We visit Kennett Square frequently so the loss is theirs. Restaurants should realize that groupons give customers an opportunity to try their restaurants and that good food and service are critical for all customers.",
"Met friends here for dinner- a party of 4. The grilled artichoke appetizer was good but drenched in olive oil which was a shame since the feta and salad were fresh and tasty on their own. I had the Carbonara and I should have listened to my inner voice when it said DO NOT ORDER THIS. To be fair the menu said it had mushrooms, onion, and peas along with the pancetta but this was the farthest from Carbonara you could come up with in a white sauce. It was ok but pretty rich. More like a alfredo sauce with some pancetta. My husband like his baked ziti. The server was very nice but I think he was new. We ate like cows for $125 so at least we didnt feel ripped off. Each person had a salad and meal plus the table had on shared appetizer."

"What's this? St. Petersburg has it's own Macdinton's now? That's right.\n\nSouth Tampa's infamous watering hole is now a St. Petersburg hotspot. This location is adjacent to Jannus Live's music venue, and has the same look and feel as the original. Drink specials nightly, including the Friday $10 sink or swim, will ensure this place stays busy through the upcoming years.\n\nThe crowd here seems less douchey too. Wednesdays they have an open mic night, which supplies entertainment in both the awesome and awful variety. They also have live music several nights a week, and Karaoke Thursdays. I love Macdinton's! So glad they have one downtown now!",
"I stumbled into MacDinton's a few months ago after noticing it in the back corner of Jannus Landing. Anyone with Magner's on tap is A-OK in my book. I came back recently on a Tuesday night and the atmosphere was really fun for mid week. They have live music, decent prices and a clash of modern and celtic music. I will be sure to make my way back in whenever I'm in town.",
"Just as good as the Macdinton's in South Tampa... Great crowd on Friday nights and in the heart of Downtown St Pete.",
"Karaoke Thursday was pretty good. I stopped in after a concert at the state concert theater.\nLarge selection of songs. Crowd happy and loud. Some can sing some can't. But everyone has fun.\nCome early if you want to get ahead of the line. Starts at 9:30 pm.",
"My hands-down favorite spot in St. Pete. Watch soccer with the American \"hooligans\" in the daytime, dance with ladies at night, and enjoy strong drinks with awesome bartenders any time of day. Several bars inside and out, pick your spot to chill or party.\n\nJannus Live is right out back (they'll lock the back door on concert nights.) However, if MacDintons is hosting music you can see it on the inside stage or they'll take over the Jannus grounds.\n\nIf the ownership keeps things running the way they have been I'll be a patron for a long time. Big ups to your bartending staff.",
"I love this place. The bar staff is top-notch. The patrons are somehow rowdy, yet laid back if that makes any sense. It's like someone took the original Macdinton's and moved it to St. Pete and hung up a sign that said, \"Douchebaggery is not permitted\". The drink specials (depending on your tastes, and day of the week) are right on target, at least for my wallet. I guess if I had to find a negative to say about this place, it would be that it is on the wrong side of the bridge for me to go to more than once a week.\n\nOh, I almost forgot one of the best parts: the music! Being part of Jannus Live should be enough to mark this place as a great venue for music, but between the concerts on the Jannus main stage, the shows inside the bar itself, and karaoke night on Thursdays, this place is epic for all music lovers (and drinkers).",
"All you can drink beer and better-quality wells for $10 from 6-8PM? Yahtzee! Service was veeeeery good, even during the incredible happy hour. See you Mac-soon.",
"I've been going to MacDinton's in SoHo for years, and I have to say I actually like this one much better. It has more of the St. Pete laid back vibe. (Yes - the crowd is definitely less douchey). The bartenders are nice, friendly and very attentive. The first time I went there, admittedly, was because I was doing a liquor promo. When I was there, they had a live cover band and another night they had a dj. Both were really good and got the crowd going. I believe they have similar specials to the one in South Tampa, and if you like them on Facebook, they're not shy about posting their specials daily. Their full price drinks are fairly pricey, but they do have decent specials. I haven't tried the food yet, but I'll definitely go over the bridge to try it out again.",
"Very nice place! Good food and service.",
"When you go to an Irish Pub, generally you get an Americanized staff and the same for the food. It is so much fun to go to Macdinton's and have Irish lasses and blokes wait on you and have the same authentic food that you would get if you were in Dublin. Frankly, my wife and I both thought the blood sausage, the sausage and the ham were as good as it gets. The bread wasn't some off-the-shelf white stuff. It tasted great. The wait was a little long for a Sunday morning and few customers but it was worth it. As far as beer, it's all the same stuff you would get if you were in Ireland, which is ok if you're not a beer aficionado. Standard stuff, nothing special. Go for the food and the people. It's worth it."

"Having recently moved here to STL from LA (SGV to be more accurate) I've been having an endless craving for; and an endless searching for, my favorite Asian foods that would remind me of home. Finding my first favorite, Pho (I could eat it every day), was easy. But finding my second favorite, Ramen? Not as easy. My older brother, seeing that I've been a little home sick, brought me here to Nudo. OMG! A place with my first and second favorite both in one spot! From the poplar table tops to the open kitchen to the twin 40 gallon burners filled with umami goodness.. sheeiitt. It's starting to feel a bit like home.",
"Just walked out of nudo on their surprise opening day. Having been a big fan of Mai Lee I expected the food to be good... it was great! Rainy days and ramen go hand in hand and this was no exception. Chewy noodles and fantastic mushroom broth with a pickled egg makes a very filling dinner. We will back soon!",
"We went on their opening night and the place was busy but seemed to be run very efficiently. Bright, airy , clean and modern aesthetics.\n\nWe ordered the mushroom ramen. The line was short and quick. Our food arrived within 5 minutes. It was one of the most delicious ramen I have had in years !",
"Food: 4 Stars\nService: 4 Stars\n\nWest County has seriously been under-serviced compared to other areas of St. Louis, so you can imagine how my heart fluttered when I found out that Qui Tran was opening up a ramen shop in Creve Coeur. You can also try to imagine how excited I was to hear that they were opening a day early... I texted my husband and told him to scrap any plans we had tonight, we were gonna stuff our faces with RAMEN, baby!!!\n\nWith all the anticipation surrounding Nudo and knowing how well Mai Lee has done over the last 3 decades, I had pretty high expectations despite the fact that I had been let down by a few other ramen restaurants in STL. The broth is vital and without a good base, your supporting/complimenting ingredients don't stand a chance. Nudo House not only delivered an amazing mouthwatering broth, but they also chose the right noodles to pair it with.\n\nBut before I delve deeper into their ramen, let me talk about the physical restaurant... Qui Tran couldn't have picked a better location. At the heart of Creve Coeur you have several businesses with employees seeking places to dine during lunch and to take their customers to. The area has been sadly under-serviced which forces businesses and residents to travel a bit to find a nice local restaurant. There's seriously less than 5 restaurants I would dine at on a regular basis within a 5 mile radius from 270 and Olive... There's a definite need here and Qui Tran delivered. THANK YOU.\n\nThe restaurant is open and airy with several smaller tables that line the wall and a few long tables that run along the center of the restaurant. It's kind of like communal dining where people grab a spot to sit and eat... you might be sitting next someone you don't know, but who cares? You're eating some of the best ramen in STL! :D\n\nNow on to the FOOOOOD:\n- Spring Rolls: for $2 a pop, it's not worth it. Don't get me wrong, they taste great but they're small and not as filled as I would have liked them to be for that price. Take my advice and make them at home. \n\n- Kimchi: We only ordered this because I'm Korean and I have to critique everyone's kimchi. I can't tell if they added fish sauce or some other brine, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. Since the ramen they were serving were full bodied, I would have preferred a clean and crisp \"Seoul\" recipe rather than adding another layer flavor in this side dish. I can see how some may feel this recipe would compliment the ramen, but it just didn't do it for me. If you need extra spice and texture with your noodles, go ahead and add this to your order. It's not terrible, just didn't fit my preference.\n\n- Hebrew Hammer (chicken ramen): Qui Tran walked over with our trays and the moment he set them on the table, I got a healthy waft of the savory broth. I immediately started salivating and took a sip of the broth. Rich. Hearty. Savory. Bold. Nudo House did NOT disappoint. Although the presentation was simple with very little toppings (more on that in a bit), so many complex layers came through with that first sip. I was hesitant to let my husband try... I didn't want to share. Ha! I really appreciated the fact that Nudo House stuck to basics when it came to toppings: Marinated soft boiled egg, bok choy, tonkatsu chicken, menma. Each topping added a layer of flavor to the dish and left you licking your lips for more. Noodles were al dente and left a little chewy bit still firm to the bite. And don't let the bowl deceive you... It looks small but there's a hearty meal hidden in that broth!\n\n- O' Miso Spicy (miso pork ramen): My husband said it was the right amount of heat. (I could have added a bit more to it!) That being said, the heat hits you in the back of your throat and leaves you feeling nice and warm. It's kind of comforting. Again, the broth is rich and hearty and goes down smooth. \n\nCan't wait to see how Nudo House grows and hope that other restaurants take note and come to West County. Thanks for a great experience, I'll be back soon to try that bahn mi pho dip!",
"Anxiously waited months for this place to open and finally arrived on opening day. So disappointed to leave a bad review, but the banh mi pho dip was absolutely disgusting. The bread that it came on was wonderful, but the meat was 95% gelatinous fat and some kind of gray artery looking thing. The vegetable were fresh and crunchy, but unless you like a mouthful of fat this sandwich is inedible. I tried asking an employee if this is how the sandwich was supposed to come and he said \"Yes, it's all edible\". He asked if I liked it and I replied no. He just shrugged his shoulders and continued working. Very poorly handled. I might give it another try and order a ramen bowl instead. Hoping this was just a rare occurrence and that this employee was just clueless on how to handle an unhappy customer, because I'd really like to see this place succeed.",
"After seeing many people post about Nudo House over the past few days I decided to go for lunch today and bring 4 coworkers. When we first arrived there was a line out of the first door, however we were pleasantly surprised when we realized it was moving very fast. It took less than 5 minutes to place our order.\nTo get a feel for the new restaurant I decided to try the Classic Nudo and Crab Rangoon. After ordering I grabbed a drink and found an empty table. The staff were very fast to clean up tables after people left so finding one was not an issue. Once we sat down it took around 10 minutes for our food to start arriving.\nMy Crab Rangoon arrived first. Unfortunately it was a bit cold, but it tasted extremely good. I really enjoyed the fact that there were chunks of crab (not sure if it is real or imitation) inside of the cream cheese.\nMy ramen was brought out about 5 minutes after my crab Rangoon. It was extremely hot, and extremely tasty. I thought there was a generous amount of meat inside of the Ramen, and the perfect amount of noodles. The flavor profile of the broth was very complex and in my opinion that is the mark of good ramen.\nI found the prices here to be a bit odd. I thought $12 for ramen was a very competitive price, especially considering the quality of the ramen. I thought the Crab Rangoon was overpriced a bit though at $4 for 3 pieces. I think I would recommend lowering the price a bit or increasing the size to 4 or 5 pieces. While it was very good I have a hard time paying over a dollar per piece.\nNeedless to say I really enjoyed my meal here. Not only was the food great but the staff was very friendly. The only complaint I have from my visit revolves around the cold Crab Rangoon. I have no doubt that if I would have brought that issue up with an employee they would have fixed it. I give Nudo 4.5 out of 5 stars, and since I round up a full 5 out of 5 star rating.",
"When I heard the owners of Mai Lee were opening a noodle bar, I swore I'd be the first one there. The place did not disappoint! Qui Tran is a true grandmaster of pho, ramen, you name it. I had the \"Hebrew Hammer\", made with chicken stock. Who knew chicken could be so flavorful! This place is a must-try for noodle connoisseurs everywhere. Voltron memorabilia a definite plus!",
"Fresh..everything is which is a great thing. Quasi restaurant fast food to cafeteria feel inside, but excellent service and food.",
"The classic ramen was a little underwhelming. The pork belly looked and tasted as if it were boiled in the broth; needs to be roasted. No bok choy in the ramen, either. The noodles were also mushy. \n\nI will try it again, though. Lots of other options on the menu.",
"Awesome spot for a casual lunch. Long line but they get the food ready quickly. From the people that brought you Mai Lee so you know it's good."

"Noticed the \"open\" sign on the door on my way home from work so I was curious to try out some Indian food. I went online to find the menu and saw that you can order online and pay ahead as well using PayPal. They have \"meals for one\" which include an appetizer, naan, rice, and the entree for $9, I felt it was pretty reasonable for the amount of food I got, also received 2 sauces for dipping. The food was hot, ready for me at pickup and tasted great, I went with my standby Chana masala with garlic naan and a vegetable samosa, I intend to go back! The only thing is the \"medium\" spice was a little spicy for my taste but I wanted to see if I could handle it, they give you the option of mild, medium, spicy or traditional and I'm curious what the spice level of the traditional is.",
"So before this place opened I had to go to Norristown for any serious Indian because all the places in KOP suck. I passed this place on Dekalb, went home and called them, and find out they even deliver. It was like $76 but he gave me a 10% discount but then you have to tip the driver. I got 2x palak paneer, 2x chicken tandoori, and a lamb briyani. Everything was absolutely spectacular. The tandoori chicken just melts in your mouth, the texture and flavor was perfect. I guess if I want to keep up my habit, I'll have to start driving there myself and keep getting those discounts! The best part was that the food was still pipin' hot when the driver came. I thought the Indian spicy level was just perfect.",
"Finally finally finally. I can't say that enough. It's very nice to finally have a location closer to our house. We have been here three times and each time is just as wonderful as the last. Their lunch specials are hard to beat. The chicken tikka masala is my favorite. Yeah",
"I had a craving for some Chicken Tikka Masala, but didn't feel like leaving the house - parking at Tiffin isn't that great (it's off to the side and spots are sometimes limited due to the number of businesses that share those spots). But, that didn't stop Tiffin from delivering. Literally. They're on GrubHub and don't charge a delivery fee. \n\nThe Chicken and accompanying Naan were delicious- really all I needed, but I did order a vegetable samosa. It was good - not the best that I've had, but not anywhere near the worst. \n\nAll in all I really enjoyed everything - the flavors are great and they don't feel like a chain. That coupled with free delivery is a win in my book.",
"Never tried any of the other Tiffin locations although I heard many good things about it. Since I was never a fan of the Indian food options here in King of Prussia, I was extremely excited that this location opened in King of Prussia and it did not disappoint. From the two times I have ordered food here, I have tried their Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo, and Chicken Chettinad, all of which was absolutely flavorful and delicious. Both times, I have ordered online via their webpage and it is a user friendly page to use. You have the ability to note your desired spice levels when you're ordering online. \n\nThis place has become my go to Indian restaurant when I'm at home.",
"Great place! The food was good both in quality and quantity. We ordered Malai Kofta and previously also tried their Veggie Biryani. The food was very tasty and not too greasy! You can chose the spice level according to your preference!",
"First time eating here, and my impression is that this is the best Indian food I've had so far in KoP. It didn't hurt that the food came out hot and that the place wasn't busy (yet: this place is going to catch on fast). But the food will stand on its own. Everything I had was distinct and well-flavored. Consistency was dead-on. Every sauce was right, and the proteins were tender and delicious. The icing on the cake was the thin-sliced ginger. Wow, what a pop of flavor to complement and cut the sauces swimming around in my mouth! The naan was good, as were the samosas and onion bhaji. For entrees we had the butter chicken and the chicken tikka masala. We asked for it spicy, and it was right on for those dishes. I'll definitely be back, especially for the lunch specials.",
"Service is good, but food quality is average. Thanks to the extra mutton pieces we got in our chicken biriyani today.",
"Pros: \n-Delicious, aromatic, fresh food cooked in an open kitchen. \n-Fast and courteous service. \n- Delivery available. \n- BYOB\n-Clean\n-Did I say delicious! \n\nCons:\nNone. \n\nMy new favorite neighborhood Indian food joint.",
"Tiffin, my long lost pal. Before you blew up and only had 1 spot on Girard Ave in Philly, my wife and I fell in love with you (circa 2009). For the last several years, despite getting back to Philly and its suburbs on numerous occasions since we left, we have unexplainably ignored you...until Saturday afternoon on our return from the beach. After fighting through miserable traffic and torrential rain storms for close to 2.5 hours, you were a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. \n\nAfter taking our first bite of the delectable paneer tikka masala and then a bite of the divine saag paneer, we were once again reunited. It felt right. Since we last left you we have had some pretty good...and pretty bad Indian food during our time apart, but Tiffin just seems to be on another level...always has been. Admittedly, we were nervous to try one of their new spots in the suburbs but no worries. It's even better because they actually have a parking lot out in KOP. \n\nThe service was good but I'm fairly certain our garlic naan had more personality than our waitress. Please consider opening a spot in Central PA, thank you. And, trust me, we won't ignore you ever again."

"We were fortunate enough to be invited on friends and family night. With our patience in tow, we were seated in the dining room facing the Soldier's Memorial. This is a new restaurant and I hear it will b opening on April 8, 2013. \n\nThe appetizers were good, we had shrimp and grits (excellent), toasted ravioli (pretty good), and cauliflower mac n cheese (above average). We then ordered the strip steak with asparagus and mashed potatoes which was terrific and the duck stroganoff which was above average.\n\nThey still have a few kinks to work out in the kitchen, but this place will be great. The service was good and the waitstaff (Jeff and Ira) were very attentive! It's nice to have a new place in the west of downtown.",
"Excited though we were to have this restaurant open, our first try was just \"meh.\" Service was good, though the staff was not really in a coordinated mode to greet arrivals. The pricey take-out lunch option we tried was tasty, but under baked (pizza) and TINY for the price. Got a dessert recommended by the waiter and while the box felt warm, the dessert was not and tasted as though it was yesterday's fare that had been nuked.\n\nWe'll give it another go after they've had more time to work out the bugs, but it will have to be way better than this to keep us coming back.",
"Brand spankin new, literally still has the new car/shoe smell. We went in for a few apps that were nice, maybe a bit overpriced. The chicken lollipops are dolled up wings that were rich in taste, but un-noteworthly except for the fact that they are frenched. I liked the travs, nice meaty texture and softer and more delicate that the typical crunchers I've had in St. Louis. Maybe it's the veal that gives them a nice tenderness. I guess I would have added an extra star if service was a bit smoother. I did think the retro pics of St. Louis were badass. There's this print of the arch with the previous Busch Stadium that is so wicked, I'd love to had one.",
"A great addition to downtown STL\n\nThe space is warm and modern, there's a fireplace and small lounge area between the restaurant and bar, and some cool St. Louis pictures scattered about. Service was friendly and prompt.\n\nWe didn't try much-calamari caesar salad-FANCY t-ravs and angel food cake were all really good.",
"Went here the first week they were open. The decor is definitely trendy and the menu is a decent attempt to match the atmosphere.\n\nThe appetizers were pretty mediocre. The cauliflower mac and cheese was probably the best one we tried. The chicken lollipops were pretty good too, but as previously mentioned they are indeed just fancy chicken wings. The grilled cheese tomato bisque was pretty run-of-the-mill too. Lastly the slinger fries sounded too good to be true, but luckily they were as good as advertised. Then again... cheese, eggs, beef, and fries together? Pretty hard to screw that one up. (I promise I'm not as much of a fatty as I sound like)\n\nThe burgers were good, but honestly I was expecting much more than burgers from this place. We got the Farmhouse (topped with cheese sauce, bacon and eggs) and Johnny Rabbit Pizza (fried provel and pizza sauce) burgers at our table and they both seemed to create favorable facial expressions from the people eating them. There are definitely better burger places around St. Louis, so I hope they're not counting on them to keep this place afloat. The Italian veggie pizza I got on the other hand was hmm... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yes, \"awful.\" The toppings didn't seem very fresh and it seemed like something I could have thrown together in my dorm's communal kitchen back in the day... and believe me that isn't a testament to my skill; I can barely boil water. Hopefully no one judges me too harshly for even ordering it, it was a moment of poor judgement/some last second ordering indecision on my part. \n\nThe service was decent for the first week. There was a lot of \"let me find out\" and \"I actually don't know\" but our server definitely worked very hard to take care of us. The food was out promptly, but the place was pretty empty. \n\nOverall the food could use a little work (the pizza should just be taken out back and shot) but the atmosphere and service were pretty good. I'll probably give this place another try some day... just not very soon.",
"Alumni is new to the Downtown scene and I am not sure that it will find the niche market it is striving for. St. Louis is up and coming but just not there like Chicago or L.A.\n\nThe menu here is extremely limited and in my opinion over priced. $12 for a burger and fries and you are left feeling hungry. I was by myself close to closing time at 10pm (What bar/lounge closes that early?) and the place was mostly dead. \n\nIf you want to chill and have a drink on business meeting then this might be the place for you. If you want food and a good time then you might want to go over 3 blocks east to Bailey's Range or 2 blocks north to Washington Ave.",
"Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and it was in the first week of their opening. It can only get better, if that is possible. The food was very good, and the menu definitely interesting! The service was very friendly. I will be back!",
"I love that downtown St. Louis now has a variety of restaurants . I tried Alumni on a Friday night and loved it.\nit has a really cool atmosphere, but it's not stuffy or pretentious. We had a reservation and were seated right away. The menu had lots to offer, including a great array of sandwiches and burgers. (Which I will try the next time). I ordered the\"Hill\" House salad and the Shrimp and Grits appetizer which was more than enough for a meal. Loved the spicy kick, and the corn added a sweet crunchy pop to the dish. \nMy husband ordered the same salad and the Roasted Chicken Breast with Mushroom polenta and balsamic reduction. The chicken was crisp on the outside and moist inside. The combination of the polenta with the balsamic glaze was incredible. \nThe desserts sounded yummy and we will likely stop by after a play one night for dessert.\nOur servers were attentive and helpful and gave us great suggestions. I will be back!! Definitely a destination restaurant for me!!",
"Went to Alumni downtown and the food was fantastic!!! Everyone was happy with their food. Loved my Cheeseburger, the pretzel bites with beer cheese was really good and so was the blueberry gooey butter cake. I can't move!!!",
"I've had dinner at Alumni twice now and the food is outstanding!! I had the shrimp and grits first night and steak strip last time. Also, the blueberry gooey buttercake- AMAZING!!! The service was great! The staff and manager were so friendly and greet you rt when you walk through the door! Alumni is just what downtown needed!!! Great to go to before or after the Cardinal games!! Or even to go watch the games, they hv nice tvs all around the bar area. Definitely going next week for a girls night out!!!"

"New place....very good pizza, great concept, fast service, great atmosphere for everyone.",
"Located in a new retail area on Franklin Rd in Brentwood, Blaze is bright, colorful and spacious. As one of the few tenants open right now, parking was easily found. Upon entering, you place your order at a counter and your pizza is assembled as you go, in a Moe's or subway shop fashion. The pizza is then baked in 3 minutes. I love the simplicity of ordering, and that they have thin crust dough. All pizzas are the same size (11\") and for a flat price of $7.85, you can get as many toppings as you want. If you want just one topping and cheese, the price is $6.25. There's a choice of three different sauces, various cheeses and meats, and a colorful array of vegetables. They also offer 8 signature pies for $7.85. \n\nI opted for the simple pie ($5) with just sauce, mozzarella and parmesan, since I was more interested in the salads today. They offer 4 side and 2 entree salads, all made fresh in house. I had the tomato, basil and ovalini salad - a very substantial portion of arugula, basil, cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella with a thick balsamic dressing. It was almost enough to be an entree salad and a steal at $3.85. My total with drink came to $11...very reasonable for Brentwood. I also have to mention the drinks. They have the typical soda fountain and iced teas then lemonade and blood orange lemonade, which was so tangy, sweet and refreshing on a warm Spring day!\n\nMy only teeny tiny complaint was that it was pretty loud in there. It was okay for a table of 2, but I imagine it would be difficult for a large group to hear each other. Perhaps turn the music down a bit during weekday lunches. Otherwise, I loved Blaze and will definitely return.",
"I have gotten better service from Subway! They rushed us thru the line after having asked us if it was our first time. BUT the pizza (not having. Everything we wanted) was awesome. Great pizza, poor customer service!",
"This place reminds me of Chipotle....you basically build your own pie and its fired, super fast. I had the \"simple\" today just to see what the pizza is about. It was fantastic! The sauce was flavorful and the toppings all looked fresh. I also added a Caesar salad which was fresh, \n\nI cant wait to go again to try other pies.",
"I'm sort of a snob when it comes to pizza. So, it's hard to impress me. Nashville is getting some great pizza places recently. And Blaze is one of them!\n\nThe concept is like subway or chipotle - but with pizza. You pick your crust, your sauce, your cheese (and you can have more than one cheese) and all the toppings you want. 2 toppings or 10... Or pick one of their specialties. The price is the same. They do it right in front of you and your pizza is cooked in 3 minutes. \n\nI got regular crust, spicy marinara sauce, mozzarella and Gorgonzola, Italian sausage, pepperoni, banana peppers and finished with oregano and sea salt. \n\nAMAZING!\n\nIt does seem to be very new so it appear that they are just getting the hand of everything. But I can see this becoming very popular! \n\nI can't wait to return!",
"I was pleased to find out that they offer gluten-free crust for an extra two dollars. I was asked if my gluten-free pizza was for an allergy or for my diet and when I explained it is an allergy, one of the pizza builders kindly put on plastic gloves and took great care building my whole pizza. I had a half Meat Eater with bacon instead of meatballs and the barbecue chicken pizza. The gluten-free crust was very good and overall I was very pleased with my experience! I also enjoyed making my own Arnold Palmer with sweet tea and blood orange lemonade. I would happily come back and dine here again when I am in this part of the country. YUM!",
"Good make your own personal pizza place. The pizzas are thin crust in the Neapolitan style. Plenty of recommended combinations plus the ability to pick your own toppings let you create pizzas no one has ever tried. I first did this at a place in Seattle years ago and the concept has migrated east.",
"Very fun atmosphere, family friendly. You must want pizza if you come here because thats it... The salads are pre made in the morning and resemble the box salads at a gas station. Taste like they were made earlier in the day. Pizza is very good with a thin crust. Boys and men will need the largest to get full. Box salad, small pizza 2 drinks $20.",
"Great pizza! I am not usually a thin crust guy but this far exceeded my expectations. The sauce is tasty, you can choose from several signature pizzas or create your own masterpiece, and it's fast! Once you order you have a fresh pizza in 3-4 minutes. I also like that it's in an up and coming shopping area in Brentwood area. \n\nGive it a whirl...you will definitely come back!",
"Ate here for the first time tonight per the suggestion of my boyfriend. It is pretty awesome! The pizza was delicious and the prices were very reasonable. The customer service was also amazing! Most of the employees addressed my boyfriend and I by name and even though it was self seating, we were checked on a couple of times. Lastly, I must share about my new love affair with one of their beverages. They serve a blood orange lemonade and it is my new favorite beverage! For all of those reasons (but especially the blood orange lemonade), I will definitely be returning."

"Sadly, there aren't many breakfast options in South Reno. Peg's is opening off South Meadows but that's about it once you get past the Neil Rd exit. For those that live in the area, or frequent Mt. Rose highway, this is a Godsend. The food here is very solid and the portions are huge. You will not leave hungry. The coffee is decent but they certainly could upgrade in that department. For having mediocre coffee I docked them a star. The interior is well appointed and clean but I hope they consider installing some large picture windows in the south east facing wall. The restaurant could use some more natural light. I'm also curious whether they have any plans for a patio because there is certainly room for one.\n\nI'm a fan.",
"New here to South Reno but very good. Unlike the other review, I thought the coffee was excellent but then again, coffee is subjective and I don't like mine really strong. A little expensive but the portions are huge. I had biscuits and gravy, excellent, and the wife's fresh made corned beef hash was as good as I've had anywhere. Highly recommended!",
"Wow!! I just went here for the first time and I was impressed. I had the Sunrise Omlette and a decadent Sunrise Biscuit. The omlette was cooked perfectly still moist but not runny. The perfect balance of asparagus, sundried tomatoes, bacon, basil, mozzarella and topped with hollandaise...delicous. Then I really went all out and got the Sunrise Biscuit basically a fried biscuit but damn it just made it so flaky (and I usually stay away from fried foods,but this was worth it). The only slight downside was that their water was Reno nasty tap water, they should consider at least putting lemon in it if not filtering it. The service was excellent as well!",
"A decent addition to the Reno breakfast scene.\n\nMy review is gonna be more \"points\" this time as opposed to a recanting of our experience, moment for moment.\n\nFirst point. No hashbrowns. I think every breakfast restaurant should have hashbrowns.\n\nFrench toast BREAKFAST!!! Hallelujah! It amazes me how many \"breakfast\" places don't actually serve a real breakfast meal. But here they do and it should be applauded.\n\n8 different breakfast meat choices. Nice!\n\nKids loved the breakfasts. My daughter even noted the good selection of jams and jellies they had available.\n\nThe food quality was good. Everyone finished full and satisfied. The service was also really good as well.\n\nA few off points. The atmosphere wasn't really what I would expect. It seemed a little more strip mall than I wanted. And the menu didn't have a side item section.\n\nWould I go back? Sure. Would I suggest it to my friends? Sure.",
"We were on our way to Virginia City and needed a place to stop for breakfast. I looked on Yelp nearby on my iPhone and saw this place got great reviews. WOW! This place is a gem and if you are ever near, it would be a loss NOT to stop for breakfast. The food was absolutely delicious, service was pleasant and prompt, prices were reasonable and portions were well worth your money. My son's meal was a \"kid's meal\" and if it could set the bar, none I have seen thus far could compare. I had the Sunrise Omelette and hubby had a breakfast burritto. I was full half way through my meal but kept eating simply because it taste so freaking good. The only sad moment of this experience is that we live 2.5 hours away and I have been unsuccessful at finding a breakfast place that wasn't just ok.",
"The Sunrise Cafe is one of the best spots in south Reno for breakfast. We usually order omelettes for a leisurely weekend breakfast and the omelettes here are excellent and huge. Ingredients are fresh and my favorite is the vegetarian omelette which includes a tasty mix of cheddar and monterey jack cheese melted throughout the entire omelette. The omelette plates run about $10 and include delicious potatoes, a piece of fresh fruit and toast or biscuit. You will not leave hungry! \nBe aware they close at 2:30pm everyday.",
"We have eaten here once and I would like to try it again! I ordered my usual breakfast menu item...the Veggie Omelet. So freakin' good. Avocado was so flavorful and fresh. The veggies were chunky and perfect, not diced, sauteed, and set out to be a part of some other omelet. The presentation was very nice, too!\n\nAs another reviewer pointed out, the prices are average, but I believe my veggie omelet was above average. It came with sliced potatoes. I was expecting something more along the lines of home fries, but they were still all right. I would have loved to have a Bloody Mary, but did not. I saw one of the servers bring out a plate full of fruit and immediately wanted to try it. \n\nThe only real issue I had was the tables are set so close together I could have sworn I was part of our neighbors' conversation. \n\nI got the impression that the people here take pride in what they put on the plate. It's a nice kind of place that you may want to try for date night or a not-so-rowdy bar night. There was, in fact, a bar area and hopefully, one of these days you'll find me sitting there with a nice drink having a quiet conversation with the hubby.",
"Went for breakfast this morning. It is pretty far away if you live in Northwest Reno. I had huevos rancheros and my husband had the taco salad. The service was fairly quick, but they sat us right in the sun so it was hard to see the entire time we were there. The tables were fairly close together making it feel crowded and sort of uncomfortable. The huevos rancheros were ok, but not great. There was a lot of food, but the flavor was just blah. I do prefer Peg's. My husband ate almost all of his taco salad, but he said it wasn't that great either. I probably will not go back, because unlike reviewers state on here, there are lots of places to eat breakfast in Reno, you just have to look for them.",
"Have eaten here previously and had decent meals. This morning was terribly disappointed as the meal I was brought wasn't what I had ordered. When I finally got the servers attention she basically said \"oh yes you did\" (maybe a bit nicer than that, but still argued the point). When she finally brought me my meal, after my husband had completely finished his, the eggs were not cooked as I had ordered them and were uneatable . She did take them off the check but we probably won't be back. If the server had just taken responsibility for the first error instead of telling me I ordered wrong, probably wouldn't have taken the time to write a bad review.",
"Great food and great atmosphere. Upon entering we were greeted with a smile. It was very busy but we felt like we were the only ones here. The omelettes are to die for. The prices are more than say a Denny's or IHOP but DEFINATLEY worth it. Needless to say we will be back!"

"I had went to the Dove Diner (24 hour restaurant) for an early Sunday lunch. I was seated at a booth with lots of families with young kids nearby. I was initially given a breakfast only menu, but I requested a regular menu, which is quite extensive plus breakfast is served all day too. The breakfast menu offers eggs, omelettes, hot cakes, French toast, waffles, sides, and more. On Mon-Fri (5AM-11AM), $3.49-$3.99 breakfast specials are offered. The regular menu has steaks, chops, chicken, seafood, sautes, Italian dinners, salad platters, apps, sandwiches, Philly cheesesteaks, hoagies, comfort entrees, desserts (cakes on display, puddings, ice cream treats) and more. They offer plenty of daily specials and mini meals (smaller appetites). They offer 22 complete dinners for $9.99 or 2 for $17.99 which include soup or salad, entree, soft drink, and dessert (pudding, jello, & ice cream).\n\nThe dining room has both booth and table seating with a small mini jukebox at each table, and a small waterfall wall divider. The mini jukebox had mostly selections from today including the Now series, and Nelly Furtado. The dial on my jukebox would not turn past Carrie Underwood. As I was getting up, my booth seat shifted and the patron behind me, though not sitting on the adjacent seat, became annoyed. This diner should really SECURE THE BOOTH SEATS so as to prevent unnecessary shifting.\n\nI ordered the Lasagna special ($9.99) and started out with a Diet Pepsi and a cup of seafood bisque (really a thick chowder), which was very creamy with potatoes, fish & crab meat, I did bite on a small crab shell. The Lasagna was baked and served on a large metal plate, which had lots of ground meat, thin layers of ricotta filling, firm noodles, tomato sauce, and lots melted mozzarella cheese, a geneorous portion. The taste was a bit salty, so I needed a refill on Diet Pepsi. The butter garlic toast (buns) was good for dipping in the sauce. I chose rice pudding ropped with whipped cream for dessert, which was warmed and too sweet for my taste.\n\nThe service was good. At first, my waitress was very anxious to take my order, while I quickly decided on what I wanted from the extensive menu. The food came out in acceptable time and I was given refills on Diet Pepsi when needed. The total check came out to $9.99 (zero percent tax)before tip. 3.5 stars overall for the atomosphere, decent food, and value.",
"Stopped in at 1:30 AM on a Sunday when I was on the road. When I entered DINER into my GPS, this was the closest one to where I was. This is not in the best of neighborhoods IMHO, but hey, a girl's gotta eat. Looks a little dive-y from the outside, but I know, with diners, that can be misleading.\n\nI was seated immediately although there was a crowd of people in the place (a diversity of age groups but mostly 20-somethings). The place wasn't particularly diner-like; more like a 1970s formica-topped-table & mismatched chairs type restaurant. But clean & friendly with heavenly smells, rotating dessert case & a bakery counter.\n\nMy hungry eyeballs brightened when I saw the menu. At the top it said, THE ORIGINAL GOLDEN DOVE DINER SINCE 1995! You know, old school. ;0)\n\nLots of selection here including all different kinds of breakfast (this place is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, which I love!). I was feeling Italian food so I perused the choices. Lots of veal dishes with spaghetti. I thought, Hmmm, eggplant Parmesan? But they didn't have it.\n\nThen I saw \"Veal Parmigiana Romano\" & was intrigued. It's a veal cutlet, breaded & fried, topped with ham, eggplant, & provolone cheese, with a side of spaghetti & tomato sauce (or gravy, if you're from Jersey). Lots of dishes on the menu noted that the dinners were \"complete.\" Such a quaint 1950s word! I think that means you get soup or salad, the entree, & bread. My entree was $15.79.\n\nI asked what the soup of the day was. Stephanie - who was a great waitress, friendly, bubbly & efficient - told me Italian Wedding or Chicken Noodle. I went with the former. She rushed me out my diet Coke.\n\nSoon a little cup of soup - filled to overflowing - along with saltine crackers was placed in front of me. It wasn't Italian Wedding soup, which I consider to be oregano-flecked chicken broth base with tiny meatballs. This was minestrone, a rich vegetable soup with Italian flat green beans, tomatoes & elbow macaroni. I didn't really care & it was good! It didn't have a million chunks of potato in it which I consider to be a ploy by the restaurant to just fill up the soup bowl with something cheap. It was hot & good & tasted homemade.\n\nI worry when I order veal at lower-priced restaurants (& some higher-priced ones; see my review of a German restaurant). I'm always worried I'm going to be served something that looks like the breaded bottom of my shoe. But I needn't have fretted at the Golden Dove because oh. My. GOODNESS this veal was good!\n\nStephanie brought me out this platter - yes, a platter, like one your mom would serve the pot roast on back when you were a kid - of food that was piping hot & smelled like a trattoria in Roma itself. I mean, this was a huge plate of food! The spaghetti's sauce looked better than jarred or restaurant distributor food sauce. And the veal.\n\nOkay, it was a breaded, crispy-crusty piece of veal about the size of 2 decks of playing cards put side by side (yes, nice & thick too). This was fresh veal, not a chopped-and-formed \"cutlet\" from Costco. On top was a slice of deli-style sliced ham which had been frizzled separately on the grill (that made such a difference between a mediocre dish & a 4-star one). On top of that was a thin slice of fresh eggplant with the purple skin still on (nice presentation). That was topped with red sauce & provolone. The provolone was good-quality & was just right with the sweetness of the tomato sauce (the sauce was a bit too salty for me though, but I feel that way about most restaurant food).\n\nOne bite & I realized I'd made such a good choice! It really fed my soul. Stephanie checked on me & was good with the all-important after-entree-service followup & to refill my diet Coke. It bugs me when a server goes out for a smoke after they've carried out the entree & you don't see them again for 20 minutes.\n\nI ate half my veal & half my spaghetti. I didn't get the bread that was promised by the word \"complete\" on the menu. I would have eaten it, but it didn't really matter. (But you should bring out the bread & butter, servers, even if it's not asked for.) Stephanie brought me out a box, a plastic bag, & the check (which I had called for).\n\nStephanie also told me that she had taken the job (her second) at the diner because she & her husband were trying to buy their first house. They wanted to settle by November 1, 2009 (which FYI is the deadline for first-time homebuyers to get a tax writeoff [thank you President Obama, I love you]). She said she had 2 kids - 4 & 2 - who really missed their mom when she was at work all night at the diner.\n\nSo if you're in the neighborhood, pop in & see Stephanie & OVERTIP! Tell her Kathie (the first person to order the Veal Parmigiana Romano on her shift, she will remember) sent you!\n\nAltogether my bill was $21.88 ($17.88 + a $4 tip). I wanted dessert, but I had to get home & it was late! Or early! But my belly was full & my soul fed. Thank you, weird computerized woman's voice on my GPS!",
"Clean place with a friendly, friendly owners and staff. As many of the diners are in Delaware, a Turkish family run the diner, and they know how to prepare American favorites like Lasagna, steak sandwiches, spaghetti, salads, all the diner faves. The staff was anxious to please our large unruly group, and worked hard to deliver hot, well cooked food. I recommend the specials, $11.99, 2 veg, salad or soup, and the main dish. You will get a lot of food. The lasagna is probably the winner here. The chicken caesar salad (bemoaned by Michael Ruhlman as what is mediocre about American cuisine) was anything but mediocre. Large sliced of grilled chicken on good, fresh Romaine. Beautifully prepared. This is not gourmet food nor do they have Turkish specials on the menu (wish they did...but then this IS Delaware and why tempt trouble) The decor is bright and there is a wall of water, sort of a glass lengthwise fountain that is very relaxing to have as a background. They treated us very well and we will be back.",
"Very good food and huge portions! This place had a bad reputation in the past but has since changed!",
"Delicious food and great staff. I come here frequently and am never disappointed.\nThey have breakfast, lunch and dinner foods as well as a huge selecton of desserts. For dinner, there's an option of a 3 course meal. I've never tried it, but it seems like a great deal. \n\nMy favorites are the lasagna, grilled chicken sandwich or the cheese steak subs. The sandwiches and subs come with french fries and a cup of soup, both which are delicious. All pasta comes with soup or salad.\nThe Golden Dove Diner also serves alcohol and has a huge selection of desserts. \n\nThe place can be a bit dive-y, particiularly on Friday and Saturday nights and especially after last call. However, everyone is usually pretty nice and quiet and is more interesting in playing with the little jukeboxes or watching one of the 5 TVs throughout the diner.\n\nOverall, one of my favorite places to go when I feel like diner food. I highly recommend!",
"Went to this place around midnight, service was friendly and fast, food was good, nice big selection. Definitely an above average late night spot, open 24hrs.",
"This place was a great value and the service was terrific. We descended with 7 kids and 7 adults after a long day at a robotics tournament. One mom said as we entered: \"when I used to waitress, we would be the nightmare table.\" The waiter kept his genuine smile throughout, and kept us all satisfied. \n\nThe food wasn't extraordinary, but we all had the $9 specials, which were very acceptable, and we got out of there for only $11 each, including 27% tip. There was a very decent selection for $9 (soup or salad, entree, and desert) plus a much bigger selection at a variey of prices.",
"What a dump! Arrived about 1:00 am. My coffee cup and fork were dirty. I ordered shrimp and they gave me marinara sauce instead of cocktail sauce. So greasy and dirty. Robert Irvine or Chef Ramsey needs to visit.",
"Cream of Crab soup is awesome... Cheesesteaks are really good as well. \n\nDessert Great too. Pretty decent!",
"The service was excellent! Our waitress is the sweetest. This place is bang for your buck. It's not a fancy breakfast place. It's comparable to Denny's. The decor is of an older diner. There's plenty of free parking in their lot. Upon arriving, we ordered a Corned Beef Hash and eggs. Normally that comes with Corned Beef, Hash browns mixed in, and a side of eggs. But we got choice of toast, choice of juice, choice of drink, and fruits, all for $7! Say whaaaat?!"

"Such a wonderful addition to the Downtown Indy food scene. I had a delicious sandwich with pastrami and grilled onions, and a side of the Brazilian Chicken Stew; both were incredible are very filling. A cup of macaroni salad came with my meal, also scrumptious. Super fresh, fast service, and a friendly atmosphere. I'll absolutely be back; everything on the menu looks extraordinary. This has immediately become my go/to for a quick, healthy sandwich/soup spot in downtown Indy.",
"If you have an item on your menu that boasts \"Sriacha cream cheese\" it's a fair bet you know what you are doing.\n\nThe folks at Subito clearly do. Tucked away on Virginia Street, this soup and sandwich takeaway spot adds an element of spice to the drab quick lunch scene in downtown Indy. \n\nThe Georgetown was a delight, on the beautiful house baked ciabatta was spread the aforementioned Sriacha cream cheese accompanied by sautéed onions and a sizable amount of pastrami. It was a revelation.\n\nTake a look at the menu, however, and you'll see that their passion is soup. I had the Italian wedding and it was flush with chunks of sausage and speckled with couscous. It was somehow better than the sandwich, which I didn't think was possible. \n\nNeed more incentive to visit? Look at the bonkers rotating soup menu. Roasted red pepper and sweet potato? Looks like I'll be there on 10/6. Butternut squash prosciutto? October 14th, baby. Smoked Salmon Chowder?! October 23rd! It's hard to go wrong with any selection, though, as when you craft food with passion, rarely do you worry about the outcome.",
"I've been waiting for the opening of Subito, and I wasn't disappointed today! The loaded potato soup was incredible, and the grilled cheese that accompanied it was excellent. The service is great, it was easy to find a spot to park, and my food was still hot when I got back to the office. I'll definitely be coming back!",
"I am in Indy for a wedding and tried Subito for lunch today. I had their Loaded Potato, which was hearty and filled with cheesy potato deliciousness. I also got a grilled cheese on the side. I could have serious eaten 10 of these because it was mouth watering.\n\nI wish I was staying in town through next week to try their pepper and sweet potato soup!\n\nGreat job Subito. I'll see you again next time I'm in town!",
"Amazing soup! Friendly staff, great for an on-the-go lunch. I got the Chicken Minestrone soup and grilled cheese; both were extraordinary. I can't wait to go back for more!!!",
"Tried the roasted red pepper soup today with a ciabatta roll. The soup was incredibly tasty and left me wanting more. Had the perfect amount of heat which was easily soothed by the amazing ciabatta roll. I usually find ciabatta to be way to tough, but their bread is perfect! No doubt that they take their bread making serious and know it's alway best when freshly baked! If you're downtown and looking for a quick place to grab a delicious lunch, I highly recommend! \n\nI will definitely be back!",
"I can't say enough good things about the country vegetable soup combined with a toasted cheese for lunch. Potato soup is also a personal favorite. Everything is fresh and very tasty. So tasty, that I'm investing in an insulated bag to carry items back to my office several times each week. Nice job, guys.",
"Wanted to find something casual close to work, luckily Subito had just opened! There was a line when we walked in but it went incredibly quickly! I was between the Lobster Bisque and the Butternut Squash with Prosciutto - luckily they are more than happy to provide you with any samples! \n\nBoth were very rich but amazing, ended up selecting the Butternut Squash and was not disappointed, but would definitely recommend asking for a sample. Will be returning!",
"Great place for fantastic fresh soup and grilled cheese. Service fast and helpful. Will definitely return. Worth the visit and check out on line via FB for daily offerings of soup.",
"I have been eagerly waiting for Subito to open and it was so worth the wait! I've been several times since it opened last month. Its such a quick walk from work and their food is delicious! You can tell they really use quality ingredients and take their time with everything on the menu; even down to their grilled cheese sandwiches, only $1.50 and seriously amazing. They have a set menu for salads and sandwiches but rotate soups daily and offer a different sandwich special everyday as well; I have yet to get the same thing twice (except the grilled cheese). I've tried several things from the menu and everything has been phenomenal. Fresh, fast, delicious and filling!"

"THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAR IN PHILADELPHIA. Oh Ten Stone, how I miss thee! Great beer, great crowd, great Sunday Brunch, great nights. I wish I could just pick this bar up and move it to Palo Alto.",
"This is a great cozy little bar with an extensive beer selection. It's the perfect place to hang out with a small group of friends. It's nothing wild and crazy, just a great neighborhood bar that's not a dive. They also serve food, which is a plus.",
"Ten Stone has the distinction of serving the worst edamame I've ever eaten. Who knew you could screw edamame up so badly! Isn't it just soybeans and salt?? Okay, I can hear you saying it already, who orders edamame from a bar? Point taken... but hey, I was craving it, and it just shouldn't be on their menu to tempt me if, especially if it's not even going to be green.\n\nI wouldn't really go out of my way to eat anything at Ten Stone, it's just slightly upscale bar food, and if you want a burger go to Roosevelt's. But the bar is open and good sized and there are a couple of back rooms to mix it up. Definitely a decent spot to place on the rotation, especially for a medium-sized or large group that wants to throw a couple back.",
"Nice sports bar with a great beer selection. The food is pretty good as well. I usually get the sandwiches. The atmosphere is solid and not too loud.",
"I'm not the biggest fan of the rolls they use here for their burgers or pulled pork, and I think they charge about a dollar too much for domestic pints.\r\n\r\nOther than that, I like their red pool table and the plasma tv in the back room. The fireplace is also really cozy during the winter. This place seems to be jammed full of Penn grad students and non-tenured professors who want to argue with you every night about politics and gas prices.",
"Nice neighborhood bar that serves above-average bar food. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here, but if you're craving a good sandwich, they have a nice, varied selection beyond your standard grilled chicken or burgers, as well as interesting salads and appetizers. Sunday brunch is excellent (especially the French Toast), but GET THERE EARLY or else be prepared for a long wait. Mixed drinks are not the best, but the beer selection is good.",
"this is a great neighborhood bar. great beer selection and pretty good bary food as well. if you all remember the dump that used to be at this address many years ago that you know what a big improvment it is. since my memory is shot i can't remember the name but i do remember that it was one of the only places that served me when i wasn't legal. definently worth a visit or more",
"The beer selection at Ten Stone is very good--focused on Belgians and microbrews, which are my favorite. They had Triple Karmeliet and Leffe Brown on draft, both of which I am a huge fan. Their brunch is good and really cheap comparatively to other restaurant bars. When I was there it was 6.95 for a whole breakfast spread! The potatoes were a little cold but well flavored nonetheless.\n\nI hate the people who pack into the bar on a Friday or Saturday night. Not the staff--the bartenders were pretty awesome and the servers decent. Not the regulars who are cool too. It's the bridge and tunnel folk who, as Alex M. pointed out below, always come into the city and make a mess of organized things. Amateurs! I hate them so much, in fact that it brings the whole place down to three stars rather than the four I would have otherwise given it.",
"My review is based on going here on a Wednesday evening around 8 PM; therefore, I can't speak to the comments about weekend crowds and out-of-towners running a muck in this quaint neighborhood bar-slash-restaurant.\n\nAs far as price is concerned, all dishes were around $10 with a few more expensive things on the menu. The Fish 'n Chips is only $6.95! I think that has to be the lowest I can think of at a restaurant.... ever. I had the Flank Steak salad. It was very good, but the mango dressing definitely could have been mixed into the greens in the kitchen to make the field greens taste better.\n\nThe menu was very heavy on the sandwich as an entree. I guess that is to be expected at a bar-slash-restaurant.\n\nThe beer selection is really great. So, if that is your thing, this is another place to go out to with some friends.\n\nI think what I liked most about this place was the atmosphere. The restaurant feels like a 21st century update to the traditional Colonial tavern circa the 1700s. It had a relatively low ceiling, exposed beams, wood floor, a large central bar surrounded by tables, and most of all, people just coming in to sit around a table, get some beers, and talk.\n\nOf course there are modern amenities of a billiards table, flat screen TVs, and mood lighting...\n\nI would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good, relaxed, non-trendy place to eat hearty American cuisine and drink some beer with your friends. Will definitely go back in the future.",
"Boy, do I miss the Golden Monkey beer here. I live in San Francisco now and still think about it! The food was always flavorful and affordable. Try those the fajitas. \nIt's one of those places where you can actually hear some decent music in the background AND hear what your friends are sayin."

"What a great addition to the neighborhood. \n\nI couldn't wait for this place to open up, since it's right around the corner from my apartment. I was greeted at the door by the owner immediately upon stepping through the door. He's very friendly and it's obvious that he is very passionate about his business. The sushi chef was also very nice, and I watched him prepare my delicious Spicy Salmon Roll right in front of me. \n\nThe prices are incredible. For a little over $9 you can order a nine-piece sushi roll, which comes with a bowl of miso soup and a small bottled water. Additionally, in honor of the Grand Opening this week, I was given a generous portion of edamame on the house! \n\nAlthough it will still take some time for these guys to fully set up shop, it's already worth checking out. From the stellar customer service to the fresh and delicious sushi, I can already tell that I'll be a regular here!",
"This place is amazing. We walked in and immediately was greeted with a smile by the owner, Jason. Staff is friendly, the place was immaculate and let me tell you about that sushi!!! IT WAS SO GOOD! this place is great for everyone. Def coming back here!",
"YES! Ardmore is exploding with great eats, and Jason's is a welcome addition on the scene. This is high level carry out sushi. The food is very yummy and the menu includes classics like veggie roll, California roll, spicy tuna roll, etc. as well as more innovative creations. The owner Jason is there constantly going above and beyond the make sure they are delivering what their clients want. They offer free miso soup and bottled water with every order, and they seem to regularly poll their clients about how they like the food and if they want anything done differently.\n\nMr. Kim the sushi chef is very talented, and apparently he was a former chef at POD in the city. He is excellent at his craft. The rice is perfectly seasoned. The fish is beyond fresh. The place has been open 2 weeks or less and was packed with people picking up when I was there the today.\n\nThis is an excellent sign and means we can count on the food being fresh and yummy ! Don't hesitate, go on in and get your carry out sushi on. You will find the perfect eats for your gourmet picnic right here. And parking is a breeze, which makes it all the more better.\n\nThank you Jason and Mr. Kim!!",
"Is there such a review option as SIX stars?????...What a great new addition to Ardmore's ever-growing restaurant scene. ~! This is a small take-out sushi \"gem\" that I trust will soon have a large following. The sushi is fresh, and while served in plastic containers for easy transporting, is definitely NOT your supermarket sushi.. Featuring Pod's Sushi maker from Stephen Starr's kitchen, the owner Jason is always on-site, and ready to give you a smile and a description of his newest menu addition. ( Today, it was the salad bowl with crab and shrimp and crisp lettuce with two choices of dressing.) Check them out for a quick lunch, late dinner, or a small home gathering where you want to serve something other than PIZZA. Somehow, I just feel healthier eating this fresh and delicious food. Jason... WELCOME TO RITTENHOUSE PLACE...WELCOME TO ARDMORE~!! :)",
"Jason's Toridasu is great! The sushi rolls are delicious and fresh, the miso is outstanding and Jason is a really nice guy truly concerned with pleasing his customers. I love that every meal comes with a water and a soup. I cannot wait to try the salad with sashimi; it looked amazing. I'm definitely going back.",
"Thank you for a great sushi lunch today! Everything was delicious, down to the perfectly seasoned rice. Your quality and personal touch are a welcomed change to the Mainline food scene.",
"I don't give out 5 stars easily. However, Jason's Toridasu deserves this accolade. The owner is super friendly and accommodating when you walk in. Now, most sushi places say their fish is \"fresh\", but we know that it's just a marketing word to lure in customers. I can testify that Jason's sushi rolls are indeed fresh. The rice is cooked just right, which is crucial to a good tasting sushi roll. If I lived in the area, I would definitely become a frequent patron. Thumbs up!",
"My husband and I just picked up (and enthusiastically devoured) a Rittenhouse Platter from Jason's Toridasu. We love sushi, but we appreciate Jason's attitude and service even more! He is the kind of young business owner---working incredibly hard and delivering wonderful quality food---that you wish you could clone. If you love unbelievably fresh sushi and want to support a wonderful young businessman, try Jason's Toridasu in Ardmore!",
"Well. This was awesome. The sushi was amazing, the owner was super friendly, and I will definitely be going back!!!",
"Good job Jason! Enjoyed the Spicy tuna nigiri combo. Fresh crisp taste, welcome to the neighborhood."

"Family owned neighborhood restaurant with good food. Very extensive menu. Never had a meal I wouldn't order again! Some of the items we have tried.....taco salad, gyro platter, pizza, reuben melt.....all very good. Cakes and pies look good, but we're always too full to order a piece. Not much atmosphere, but good food and friendly servers. You can't go wrong on this one for a good, quick, inexpensive meal.",
"I am originally from a small Southern town where there are a few local Mom and Pop restaurants and no franchises. When you go in everyone knows you and you immediately feel at home. Savory Restaurant & Pizzeria gives me that same feeling. Whenever someone comes in from out of town to visit, this place is almost always on the itinerary. The servers are all very warm and nice and most importantly, sincere. Oh yeah, and there's the food. I have never ordered anything that I wouldn't order again. The portion sizes are generous and prices are very budget-friendly. They also have early bird specials from 4 - 6 that cost next to nothing and even include free dessert!",
"Best Pizza in Largo, period!!! It took a while to find it but I have lived here for 2 years now and finally found a pizza that stands apart from everyone else. The best part about this place is that it's not a pizza place. I originally found it for breakfast...which is unreal I might add. Like both of the other posters said...friendly staff, great food, even better prices, if you don't check Savory restaurant out, you are really missing a true hidden gem in out area, enjoy!!!",
"Consistently awesome food and great service. We often eat here with groups of 10 plus people and have never had one complaint. Their omelets are gigantic and delicious every time and at an incredible price.",
"My family loves this place. True home cooking food by people who know what they are doing in the kitchen. There is nothing on the menu that is a turn-off. I even love the Liver N Onions. How about that? You can tell the owner wants the best for you with the quality of food he serves. There is not a single place on Ulmerton/Walsingham Road that can come close to what these people do EVERYDAY! Keep up the good work and expect me in 48hrs.",
"Love this place!!!! Owners are awesome! I feel like I'm visiting family every time I'm here. It reminds me if my favorite Chicago Greek owned spots back home. Best Greek omelettes around!!! Plus I finally found a great pizza spot too!!!",
"Friendly, attentive service. Food is wonderful. Good quality, well prepared, and large portions. Loved the pizza. Very reasonable prices. Be sure to try this hidden gem, you won't be disappointed.",
"It's typical Largo, FL food - moderately priced and 2 1/2 star food. I've eaten here three times in the past 2 weeks and I'm officially done with this place. The first time I ordered a small pizza and the crust was terrible. I would rather have a frozen pizza. The worst part was, it was insanely salty! It was so salty I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for hours and I didn't feel good after eating it. The second meal was a buffalo chicken sandwich and that too was crazy salty. The buffalo sauce was blah and the bun had too much of a wheat flavor. The third meal was brunch and I had a Mexican omelette which was way over cooked, had terrible tasting sausage in it and the home potatoes were also way over cooked and tasted horrible. Also this meal was way too salty. How do you get an omelette wrong?! The only positive thing about this place is the serving sizes are huge. I'm really sorry to have to give this place such a bad rating but I'm just being honest.",
"This place is as cute as it is delicious. We stopped here for a late family breakfast on a Friday and had a great experience. Ava (one of the owners) is so sweet and you can tell she truly loves what she does. We had a omelet, skillet and pancakes for our daughter all cooked to perfection. All ingredients were fresh and of high quality. The inside is too cute for words and spotless. The rest of the staff were kind and inviting. The menu is vast and appropriately priced. Definitely a gem. Can't wait to go back to try lunch and dinner.",
"Went here on a recent vacation to North Reddington beach based on the limited but good yelp review. It was a nice experience and I recommend it to anyone who is really hungry for breakfast. The portions were big and a good deal! I liked the Tuscan omelette which also includes fries/grits and toast/pancakes all for $7.95. What a steal. I won't be going back anytime soon as I am in California but anyone living or on vacation in area must give Savory Restaurant a shot."

"Amazing new place in Philly. Friend of a Friend. Sure, they copied 'Bed' for the upstairs, but hey, these days, who isn't?\n\nAmazing food. The Seared Kobe, Sushi, Sashimi, Scallop/Prawn are all amazing. The drinks are wicked strong. The music is perfect. Very upbeat, not overpowering, perfect for talking, dancing, flirting, everything.\n\nHighly recommended for groups of 6+. Eat first, dance and drink throughout the evening. Can't wait for next spring when the weather warms up.",
"If you love the strong scent of desperation, then you'll love this place. You can't even look around the room, because every person you glance at will lock eyes with you and stare you down like they're sizing up their next meal. I was there with 3 other people and we all experienced it. The drinks were expensive, the music was the audio equivalent of watching an episode of \"Two and a Half Men\" and the general look of the patrons was last-call chic (lots of boobies, sparkles and hair product).",
"Writing this review pains me. I have been to Vango before and really got a great vibe from it. Its chic, the music is great (although no madonna...what kind of DJ doesn't have madonna!?) and the multi levels + outdoor deck keep the A.D.Ders amused. So I returned last night and my vibe was thrown a major curve ball. It was a TUESDAY night, we were the only ones in there and we were feeling fun and order a Prosecco for twelve dollar glass. No problem. Our friend was feeling like a baller so he's like there are three of us, it might make sense just to get the bottle...with the logic being, at twelve a glass, at most the bottle would be $100. Forget logic. The bottle was $200. And if that wasn't tough to stomach, the automatic 20% gratuity they add on to it was. $240 for a bottle of Prosecco is appalling (it retails for about $20 a bottle). Had the bottle been delivered by an attractive waiter/ress while we are sitting on one of their plush couches then we could talk about 20% gratutity. Merely handing us the bottle while we are seated at the bar and having us refill our own glasses does not warrant 20% ESPECIALLY when the bottle is sold at 900% to cost. I realize we are at fault for not looking at menu prices, but I honestly think that a good server would have been like hey, its actually more economical to buy by the glass. I found that pretty crappy and sadly I'll be boycotting Vango and checking out G Lounge. O, yeah smoking is allowed at VANGO so it stinks. Another reason to stay away.",
"I like the place in general. The bartenders are characters, the decor is interesting in a good way (I find myself intrigued by the walls rather than merely staring at them when I get bored, lol), I can have a cigarette w/my booze, the food is on the better side, and the DJ plays whatever I ask.\n\nMy only warning seems to have already been addressed by other reviewers... the wait staff sucks a big one. Do not expect pleasantries or suggestions from the waitress... (that's singular on purpose, I do not recall ever seeing a second waitress, so the one you see is probably the sucky one, lol) Eat at the bar! lol\n\nI'm not sure if they have the specials every day, but there are drink and \"small plates\" specials on Wednesdays from 5-7.\n\nI can't wait until it gets warmer so I can experience the third floor Sky Bar. :)",
"Philadelphia has a welcomed addition to the RIttenhouse area, with this new lounge/restaurant that features a rooftop area that will be a big draw when the weather becomes more cooperative.\n\nI've heard problems with staff and the security, but have yet to see the attitudes or poor service. The food is also surprisingly good, though I just sampled a few things from the appetizers menu. I'd recommend the quesadilla, tuna tacos, spring rolls and the dumplings, which are all affordabily priced.\n\nHappy hours on Thursdays are definitely the place to be with half off appetizers frmo 5-7PM and great drink specials until 7:30PM.",
"I generally don't like to hang out in bars that:\n\na) appear to be sponsored by Grey Goose with the 30 or so bottles mounted on the walls with lights behind them. (don't get this confused with the fact that I like bars that feed me Grey Goose...two different things).\n\nb) pour a gin and tonic that tastes like my toilet water and pillages my wallet.\n\nc) have big macho douchebag bouncers.\n\nSo incase you didn't realize it, I give this place an F.",
"Marvelous drinks but I wouldn't return unless Vango (1) opened their skybar and/or (2) banned smoking. (I believe Vango calls itself a \"private club\" as a loophole to allow smoking.)\n\nThursday I came here for an ICON Philadelphia happy hour. A light crowd of roughly 60 were indeed being happy amongst the Level vodka-covered walls and wackily impressive chandelier. DJ Syko kept the mood casual yet energized. Both bartenders (Shanell and John) served us quickly and creatively (no pedestrian shots here): I tried a red death shot (as good as that usually tastes) and a upside down cake pineapple shot which was outstanding!\n\nI was irked (an understatement) Vango's skybar was closed since I couldn't escape the smokers. Luckily, there were only a few smokestacks there, but still a few too many; I smelt like smoke and my eyes watered.\n\nThanks to ICON Philadelphia, Reaction Republic, and Vango for coordinating, providing complimentary (and tasty) appetizers and ensuring the event ran smoothly.",
"I went to Vango on a friday night for drinks. The design inside is interesting with lit up Level bottles embedded in the walls. It is bi-level with the main bar and tables/booths downstairs and a smaller bar / outdoor patio upstairs.\n\nThe bar tenders were knowledgeable but the drinks were weak. The service was less than par as well.\n\nThe music was decent that night (hip-hip, pop, remixes) and my friend says that they have a few decent DJ that visit.\n\nIt was an average experience, but like many \"upscale\" lounges in Philly it was overpriced and under executed.",
"I've been to vango several times now and I can't say it's really worth the drink prices. Similar to some other CC places, vango passes itself off as a bar/club... not really succeeding in either area. The bottom level is either too crowded (on the weekends) or empty (on the weekdays). Also, the dance floor just seems like an area where tables were never installed. \n\nOn the plus side, the upstairs roof area is very chill, with beds and seating all around. A diverse crowd fills up the place on the weekend and the decor is crean and modern. \n\nIn general, I'd probably only recommend going there as an after party spot or if you have a group and want to rent out the upper roof area.",
"I'm not lie-ing when I say that vango has one of the best sushi in town. great portion, lots of meat, fresh tuna...little pricey but worth it..good music, Upstairs has a great out door lounge with beds.."

"I came to this place thinking it was just another bar and grill. It was actually more of a semi-fancy seafood place and a pretty decent one at that.\n\nMy sister's in town for the weekend, so I thought we'd try out some new stuff. We headed here for a light dinner before checking out the fireworks for the Fourth. We started out with the crab cakes and shared the Chilean Sea Bass as an entree with a side of garlic whipped potatoes and a cup of seafood corn chowder. I had an Angler's Ale with the meal.\n\nThe crab cakes were awesome - huge chunks of crab meat, a light bread crumb coating, and a red remoulade with just a hint of spiciness. The chowder that followed was also pretty tasty, though a bit rich for my taste. I enjoyed the Angler's Ale that I ordered, too - the waitress said that it was brewed specifically for their restaurant. Interesting 'cause I found out this was a franchise when I got back =P Anyways... the Chilean Sea Bass wasn't too shabby either. We had it with the warm mango salsa - the fish was cooked well and went really well with the salsa.\n\nOverall a pretty good place with a nice ambiance. Just not what I was expecting... I'd definitely come back here again - but not as a casual hang out. The meal came to around $55 after tip.\n\n3.5 stars if that were possible...",
"Okay, yum. \n\nThe lunch hour at Bonefish wasn't exactly hoppin' but the food was. There were maybe 5 groups in the house. Still ... attentive service, great food, no complaints here.\n\nI had the lunch special fish tacos (cajun-style tilapia, with mango salsa) and they were light, flavorful and good. Even the corn tortillas (which are never very remarkable) were extra good.\n\nYou might have to ask them to bring out the bread; it comes with a lovely pesto olive oil.",
"Great interior. Even though I'm from San Jose, the two bartenders are from San Jose. Shannon and Jenny? \n\nWhat i had was Asian fusion. YUCK. But I had the Bang Bang Shrimp and it was great. I had a local brew and it was good.\n\nThumbs up to this place, even thought its ASIAN FUSION. Which I hate.",
"We started our meal with the Bang Bang Shrimp, which were outstanding. This was fallowed by the Chicken Gumbo Soup which was ok, but the shrimp were a hard act to fallow.\nHe had some chicken which was very good, but he is not quite sure he got his moneys worth from it. I had the Fish and Chips. The french fries were average, but the fish was very good, there was much more meat then breading which is a nice change.\nWe both had wine, I had a White Zinfandel and he had a Red Wine Blend that he really enjoyed. The wine was served in small individual pitchers so that it gets aerated more and enhances the flavor.\nWe enjoyed our dinner and plan on coming back, being that the menu is so small it wont take long until we have tried everything.",
"My friends and I first came upon Bonefish during the Martini Mix-Off in May and it quickly became one of our favorite stops, especially on the weekends. It is located in a great part of town at the 8th Street Marketplace. The happy hour deals are fantastic and every time we have Shannon for a bartender, the service is stellar. Unfortunately on this visit Shannon had gone home for the day but we still had a great time.\n\nThere were several of us on this visit and most of us ordered food so we were able to sample a variety. I personally love the Bang Bang Shrimp. But the mussels are tasty as well and there were plenty to go around. I heard no complaints whatsoever from our group and the food went down quick.\n\nDrinks were plentiful on this visit. A few of my friends continue to return to Bonefish specifically because of one of the martinis they entered into the mix-off: The Bandit. It is a lovely concoction of American Honey Bourbon and Butterscotch Liqueur with a honeyed rim. This particular evening my friends were only able to have one because they ran out of this fine liquor. Note to Bonefish: stock up! Besides this one glitch in our plans, everything else was fantastic. We will continue to return, especially if the American Honey is there!",
"We love Bonefish. The food is great. My wife and I have been several times and always enjoy it. It was our anniversary spot this past year and we gladly returned for valentines tonight. As always the crab cakes were must! They are unbelievable, so much delicious crab meat it almost more meat than cake. Another staple of our visit is the house salad. The greens are fresh, the kalmata olives are flavorful and the dressing is fresh and light. Overall a very enjoyable and refreshing salad. \nTonight my wife had the scallops and shrimp skewer...the shrimp were a good size and cooked perfectly, the scallops were fabulous. The mango chutney was a perfect accent. \nAt the advice of a friend I decided to try the longfin talapia that was stuffed with shrimp and scallops...wow. Stunning. \nMy beautiful wife made an interesting observation at dinner tonight, stating that Bonefish is the only restaurant that we frequent where I always order something different (other than the obvious necessity of the salad and crab cakes). My conclusion...it's all so good, there's no concern I'll be dissapointed. \nSwing by from 3-6pm for appetizers at half price...now that's a happy hour!",
"I dined at Bonefish with a fairly big group (I think it was 10 people) from work and the service was amazing. You always wonder how it's going to be whenever you go somewhere with more than 4 people. Our service was stellar. \n\nI am not a seafood eater so I was a little unsure of what I would eat when I first arrived and our server suggested any of the steaks. I went with the fillet with a side of mashed potatoes and salad. It was amazing. The steak was cooked perfectly and it just kind of melted in my mouth. It was a foodgasm for sure. Mmmm....for desert I split the brownie sundae dish and it was chocolatey goodness at it's finest. \n\nEverything was delicious. Excellent service. If I'm ever in Boise again I will be dining here.",
"Fish Tacos! You know how I love my fish tacos an these were dang good. Longfin with a mango Salsa. Homemade chips, excellent. My wife's tilapia (same fish as the tacos) had a darker more complex sauce perfect for dinner. Don't waste your time with the chocolate brownie... go find dessert elsewhere.",
"Unfortunately, the only thing that sets this place apart from any other generic mid-priced seafood & grill style restaurant is poor service and awful cooking.\n\nDined here after 8 on a very slow night and sat at the bar. Bartender took our order then disappeared. Reappeared about 45 seconds after the food was delivered then disappeared again until the end of our meal. We sat through most of the meal with empty drinks and empty water glasses. \n\nTo add insult to injury, the manager who was behind the bar (taking inventory of the booze throughout the entire second half of our meal) literally turned around and stared at our empty glasses at least 1/2 dozen times, not once asking us if we'd like another drink or a refill. With a manager as useless as that, it's no surprise the bartender was equally as incompetent.\n\nThe food was no more impressive. Regretted ordering the chicken pad thai. It essentially tasted like a bastardized gringo version of pad thai. The over-cooked and very dry chicken did not help. I guess i shouldn't be surprised by lackluster pad thai at an American grill. However, there's no excuse for over-cooked chicken. Especially at an American grill. There also no excuse for the manager staring repeatedly at the entire chicken breast that was removed from the pad-thai, placed on a side plate and push away from us.\n\nWe would have liked to send the chicken pad thai back to the kitchen, but since the bartender was too busy in the back, taking care of her closing duties the entire time (instead of taking care of her guests) we never really had the opportunity. \n\nSave your money. There's plenty of far better options in the area.",
"One of the best run restaurants in Boise. Had dinner there again tonight. Excellent apps...scallops wrapped in bacon, shrimp, calamari...all very good. House salad is a favorite. Corn and crab soup one of the best I have had. Service is consistently good. Happy hour from 3-6 is excellent as well with 1/2 priced apps and discounted wine and cocktails. Very attractive restaurant. i know it is a chain...but each is individually owned and managed. We end up here probably once a month it is so good."

"Not a fan. Some locals said it was good seafood but I found it dirty and pretty overpriced for some greasy fried food. $100 for family if four to much for this place.",
"Sorry for the bad review, but its just not for me. If you like like like like like fried food then go. I never thought i could say bad things about greasy fried food, because for the most part i love fried food. This was way way too much. Do not make plans if you choose to eat here, because you wont be following though with them, you will in an emergency room awaiting heart surgery",
"Previous reviews have it nailed. Dark, dingy, dirty, greasy food. And I really wanted to like it, but just can't.",
"My husband and I really enjoy this place when we go. Yes, it is a LOT of fried food (and very heavy food), I guess it really depends on your individual taste. That's why we only go every now and then, when we're in the mood for it. The service is great! All the servers we have met have been so friendly! Some of them know us by name, lol.",
"Over priced. Dirty. Poor service. Food was mediocre. Our baby spit up a little on the floor and I just needed something to clean it up. Like a wet towel. But the girls just looked at me and our waitress said she was going to up chuck if she came close.",
"Have to agree with some of the other posters. Mostly fried food with heavy sauces. I did enjoy the crabcakes with no sauce. Service could definitely been better. Two of us received our entrees while the other two did not arrive for several minutes. The server kept apologizing and said they were short of help (this was on a Wednesday night)",
"Seafood Platter - Lil G's what a freaking joke, these people couldn't cook seafood if their name was seafood. I come form a long line of seafood my father was a commercial fisherman form Buck town, and so were my Uncles. I just today bought my sweet loving wife for our anniversary a seafood platter and it sucked $23.00, everything was way over salted, and she has high blood pressure. Take it form me, if you can't have salt stay away from this place. Oh Yeah! by the way if you love bread like we do with our seafood, bring your own. I have never in my day going to a seafood restaurant in Louisiana were they didn't give you toast or French bread.\nAlso the stuffed crab looks like a Hockey Puck and tastes like a salt block and where's the crab meat ?",
"Love Lil g's. Po boys are great. Oyster and artichoke soup is a favorite. Charbroiled oysters are also great.",
"Wow great crawdads and corn the wife had boiled shrimp and the bananas foster was yummy",
"Slowest service evar. 1.5 hours til getting food for 4 people on a not so busy night. Other tables had 3 parties come and go while we were seated. Mediocre food."

"Quite surprising to see a run of the mill chain buffet place go pan Asian, in Warrington no less!\n\nI was pleased to see that, for this type of establishment, the food was decent. There were a wide variety of hot and cold offerings, The miso was nice, as were some of the vegetable dishes. I also like their salt shrimp and sushi. Some of the dishes were overly sweet (sweet and sour chicken) to my palate but there was always something new on the buffet line to sample. The desserts are their weakest point, from average to just plain gross.\n\nThe place was packed and the food good, a great recipe for success in today's tough economic climate. I hope they do well!",
"This used to be a Country Buffet at which I ate once when my high school's track team and it was worst buffet experience of my life. Just disgusting. Now it's an Asian buffet and it's much, much better.\n\nI've been a couple times and have found the service good -- all the waiters/waitresses are on the ball getting you another hot green tea when you've taken the last sip of the one you're currently drinking -- and the selection of food is great and tastes pretty great, considering it's mass produced for hordes of diners.\n\nI particularly enjoy the rice noodles with veggies, the teriyaki chicken kabob, and the fried dumplings with dumpling sauce. The have a good sized sushi bar with the kind of sushi you'd expect at a buffet -- it's edible, but you're definitely not headed there for the sushi. \n\nNot a place to head for the atmosphere either -- bright fluorescent lights and vinyl booths -- not where you'd want to take someone for a special evening. Good, though, for a casual hang. Am sure to return but mostly because a few friends are big fans, but I'm not mad about it.",
"For a Chinese Buffet, you can't beat this place. Roast Beef is rare and delicious, crab legs warm and Abundant, the sushi is decent, the rest of the food is above par for a buffet, and the staff is friendly. Unlike the lady below who obviously shouldn't have come to a buffet at all, we brought our own Asahi beer and enjoyed this meal quite alot. We will be back.",
"The food was OK, but the service and management is terrible. They all need to go to school and get trained. We've been this place several times, but I don't see the service even close to good. \n\nWe were there for lunch this Thursday. The hostess greeted you with cold smile, waitress stood in the serving station staring at the customers but wouldn't refill your drinks. When we done and asked for a kid cup of water for my son, they told me I can't take water with me. Hello?! just a plastic cup of water for my 4 year old who was coughing due to sore throat. This is the worst service. I will not go back.",
"i am not a huge fan of Chinese buffets so when my husband dragged me here I was prepared to really hate it. There are two other Chinese buffets in the area that he likes and I cannot stand. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It is bright and clean and modern. Every food item I took was hot and did not taste like it had been sitting there for hours. And unlike other buffets, each food item had its own distinct taste. At dinner time they have crab legs and they were actually very good. The wonton soup was also very good. There is a dish right next to the crab legs with chicken, shrimp, and peppers. I forget what it is called but do yourself a favor and have some. It is so good. Hubby thought the sushi was OK but he definitely goes for the crab legs. We did not try the desserts so I cannot speak for them.\n\nThe service is good and the prices are not bad. It's almost always crowded but we never have to wait for a table.\n\nI'm giving this a 4 out of 5 based on Chinese buffets, not necessarily based on all restaurants. But as far as buffets go, it's actually quite good.",
"I'll start with the goods. It's clean and the service is great. I've been to a few Chinese buffets and MOST tend to be similar in the type of dishes they serve. This one is no exception. They have the usual fried section, the generic Chinese food section, the sushi section, the meat section and the desert/salad section. I'll probably go there again but not for the food just the convenience.",
"Very good food actually. The restaurant was nice and airy and the service was great. The sushi was okay. I liked the fresh raw fish, forgot what it's called-sorry. Also, the stuff wasn't overly salty like other buffets.",
"For a Chinese Buffet, it has a very good selection of food available. Since they usually have many customers, they food does not get \"old\" while waiting to be thrown on a plate. The have a decent selection of seafood, not my thing, and seems to come out soon enough that a line does not form waiting for more shrimp as you see alot at other buffets. \n\nThe place is clean and is well staffed to deal with the soda refills and plate clearing.",
"It not bad for Chinese buffet. The service is great but it seem like they don't like to put Sashimi that much the chef wait for until it all gone then he will put the new one in. There place clean but sometime the restroom was so dirty [sometime].",
"At first the place looked pretty good, wide variety of foods, and plenty of it. I noticed the ice cream machine was not cold enough and besides getting splashed with ice-cream it melted fairly quickly. My big disappointment came in when I went to the bathroom as one of the waitresses was coming out from the urinals without washing his hands. When I went to wash my hands the soap dispensers where empty and another employee was washing his hands with plain water. I mentioned to him and he opened the dispensers and left, I assumed to get more soap, I had to squeeze any little soap I could get. They speak very little English with make me wonder if anybody explain to them the rules of hygiene for this country. I ate sushi which is made right in front of you, as you can imagine is a very scary thought now. I will never go back to this place to say the least."

"My husband and I ventured out to the new Burger Monger in South Tampa ready for a good burger--which is exactly what we got. \nWe were greeted by a manager as we walked in and led to the ordering line. It's similar to a Five Guys in that you choose your burger and then you have 40 toppings to choose from to add to it. They have a multitude of cheese options as well, which I appreciate. The bun is buttered and toasted on the griddle--amazing. This is the new top burger joint in South Tampa for sure. \n\nOnto the hospitality... a sweet girl greeted us and told us about the burgers. Before we paid, she told us about their loyalty program--every dollar spent is a point and once you reach 200 points, you get a $10 gift card. Monday's are also double points and $5 burger night. \n\nWe were offered several times by the BM workers to refill our drinks with a smile. Before we departed, a gentleman, whom we assume is the owner, was sitting at a table by the door and scurried to open the door for us. He told us to have a good night, thanked us for coming in, and asked us to return soon. Talk about exceptional customer service. \n\nBurger Monger, we are fans, and we will definitely return!!! :)",
"I'm happy that there is a Burger Monger in South Tampa! I love BurgerFi, but Burger Monger has better fries, and it's so much easier parking here.\n\nFood is typical Burger Monger. Good quality meat and your choice of toppings. The location was clean and the staff was friendly. Great place for a quick meal.",
"Excellent tasty hamburgers properly cooked. Their French fries are outstanding. \nServers are very pleasant and attentive. \nWe are looking forward to return.",
"This was my first time at a Burger Monger and I was pleased that I didn't have to journey up to Carrollwood to enjoy it. I've had it bookmarked for quite some time, and was pleased that this one opened down here. This location just opened, and is very clean, neat and in order. A gentlemen who I'm guessing is the manager was walking around, welcoming people, and delivering the food. I liked the variety of cheeses and toppings that you could put on your burger, but the potential to go overboard exists. Arguably I may have done so with one consisting of guac, swiss, shrooms, onions, and steak sauce, and the other with chili, cheese, fried egg, shrooms, and garlic sauce. Both were good however, and my wife pointed out that they weren't greasy. They use some kind of wagyu beef, which was enough for me to notice the quality was better than a lot of places, but not something that had me turning cartwheels(which I can't do anyway). We shared fries as well, and they were quite similar to those found at Five Guys. I glanced at the beer selections, and there were quite a few that I would have ordered to include some local brews. Definitely a cool place, which I will likely return to again.",
"Absolutely perfect as usual. If you want a great hamburger, made with the best beef around, this is your place. perfectly cooked to order with the freshest toppings and buns.",
"Best burger in South Tampa. Kobe beef, loads of custom toppings and the Burger Monger Sauce is great. Management and the kitchen even accommodated a dairy and gluten-free dietary restriction for our party. Can't wait to go back during football season to make use of the TV's and local draft beer!",
"We stopped in a couple weeks ago and loved the build your own burger type deal they have going on. Fries were great which is imperative for a burger joint. Staff seemed excited to be there and were all polite and helpful! We will return!",
"There is nothing outstanding about the food or service here. What is outstanding about this location of Burger Monger is that they were intelligent enough to realize that South Tampa doesn't have enough burger joints and that people in South Tampa are too lazy to leave South Tampa to drive to a burger joint elsewhere. Which is why the lines at this place are out the door.\n\nBurger Monger was smart enough to tap this under-served market, while Burger 21 was not. Even though Burger 21 is better than Burger Monger.\n\nOh yeah, and don't even think about ordering the Burger Monger veggie burger. It's basically a bunch of crumbling rice shaped into a burger patty shape. Gross.",
"Yummy! The single is much bigger than 5 guys! Loved it. Shakes were very good too. Visited the location in south tampa.",
"GREAT BIG Burgers, good shakes too! Friendly staff."

"Came here on opening night and the ambiance was awesome. I will report back on the food!",
"I was expecting a great meal as I had thoroughly enjoyed Elvira's in Tubac. Unfortunately, that was not the experience in Tucson. They are working out the kinks with service which is not unusual for a newly opened restaurant. The techno music might be appreciated by some. My chicken mole arrived raw in the middle which was disappointing to say the least especially at the price point of $20. The tortillas ended up crispy instead of soft. The fish dish was buried in a pile of cilantro. Not terrible, yet not enjoyable. It felt like a slog to get through the dish. Hopefully there will be some improvements over time, but we have no plans to return anytime soon.",
"Opening night walk in got seated right away order a mojito but had to change order due to the bar not having mint. Waitress recommended mango margarita so order that instead and it wasn't all that great ( couldn't taste the tequila just the mango juice ). Order the steak molcajete and waited for over a hour (waitress did apologize ) but I had to cancel the order and go eat elsewhere. So I paid for the mango juice and left hungry, I will give it another chance the food did smell good.",
"Great ambience and seated quickly after arriving around 8:30 pm. Servers slow on bringing water and ordering food. After waiting over an hour for our food, our waitress said 15-20 more minutes. It was 9:45 at that point and we decided to pay for our drinks and leave. We will wait 6 months before trying again",
"I went for lunch today. I was disappointed in the menu. The least expensive item was $12.00, with the rest around $20.00. Lunch patrons will not routinely spend that much. I will not. I love Elvira's in Tubac and make a ritual of eating there, but that is a tourist location so the prices don't shock me. Downtown they do. They are competing with $10.00 list prices for lunch. I don't doubt they will do well if they create a lower cost lunch menu for the office class downtown, but only if.",
"Went here opening day and I understand that things can be slow on the day a restaurant opens, but this was so bad I'm not sure I will go back. Where to start?\n\n1. Got my children a quesadilla. No sides. Usually a restaurant will charge like five bucks. Even Proper down the street makes a kid's cheeseburger and fries off the menu. They're kids! Get the bill and it was 10 bucks for one quesadilla with no sides and not enormous or anything. 40 bucks total on cheese and tortilla.\n\n2. Ordered a steak dish that is the spiciest thing on the menu or at least advertised to be. Not spicy at all, it was sweet actually. In addition, it is a cream sauce and that specific sauce is never made with cream. Also, they forgot my rice.\n\n3. Wife's fish dish tasted like it had been soaked in butter all day. Couldn't even taste the fish, it was pure butter. \n\n4. Friend ordered a dish with no peppers next to it indicating it was spicy. Dish was so hot that it hurt her stomach. She told the waiter, who basically didn't care and reacted like 'Hey, it happens.\"\n\n5. Drinks were slow, had to ask for a waiter. Had to ask where our food was. Restaurant didn't even looked finished. \n\n6. Elvira's in Tubac has created a following and this place is going to ruin it. The owner/manager didn't care at all about the issues. Didn't take any money off despite literally forgetting half my dish, didn't apologize. Nothing. Never been more disappointed in a restaurant I expected to be good.",
"I went to the long awaited Elvira's in downtown Tucson yesterday! Everything was amazing! The food, the service, the ambiance. Cannot wait to go back! And you MUST try the Hibiscus Margarita!!! So worth the wait.",
"Service was slow, extra chips and salsa is $5 after the first one, 4 steak meals out of 8 meals at our table came out cold and had to be sent back, and then when redone they were out of the sauce for two of them so gave us a different one altogether. The meals were taken off the check, but not a place I would go back to. The waitress was apologetic but no manager or owner apologized or acknowledged anything. The only good thing here was the live music. Don't waste your time.",
"Not a good experience at all. We went with a friend after an art viewing at Hotel Congress, yes I know they just opened a week ago, and that's tough. They were busy. We waited for our food for over an hour and a half. 30 minutes after ordering, we were told they were out of the chicken mole poblano, which was pretty much all that I wanted. I ordered another mole, so did my friend, and my husband ordered an appetizer, we were told it was being plated after an hour, then it still took another half hour to come out, by then we were so mad. We asked for it to go at no charge because it's now 8:30. The waitress told us we would have to wait for the manager, she finally brought everything out boxed at no charge. We ate the food at home. The wild rice was tasteless, the beans dry, the mole with anise that I didn't want was dry and bad. The tortillas stuck together. I don't like wild rice, and it doesn't go with Mexican food. The ambiance was nice, the ceiling lights were beautiful, we had to sit outside though because they were so busy, which I really didn't mind. My husbands queso fundido never did some. They waitress just kept telling stories, she said it was right behind her and coming, then said it would take too long??? They need to step up their game and fast - everything was way overpriced too. The food was also cold when it came out!",
"Cabrillo De salsa verde, a nice big piece (and a good kick from the salsa) and tamarind shrimp was good too (but take out the pits!). You were here just before the Sunday rush for dinner but there's lots of staff and the waiter returned several times to check on us. They'll be adding to the menu as they get further out from their opening only week ago. They need to offer a few things below $20 for an entree. Just my opinion. Oh, and from someone who's not big on rice at restaurants, I thought the wild rice was really good!"

"Amazing coffee, teas, and pastries. A great place to go on the weekends for a light breakfast. They also do custom cakes and you can take everything to go or enjoy your a few moments along the edge of the store at one of about a dozen bar stools.",
"Great coffee, pastries, and also a great collection felted wool bags made by someone affiliated with the shop. They're beautfiul and hold up really well!",
"It's rare to find a decent bakery in the suburbs. It's rare to find a bakery anywhere in the United States that can produce a decent loaf of bread. Somehow Crossroads has thrived and even expanded its operations in a less than attractive strip mall that's surrounded by car dealerships and gas stations. Why? Simple. They run a great bakery with consistently good quality baked goods that rival what you can find in some of the better bakeries in major cities throughout this country. \n\nIs everything as good as what you would find in the best patisserie in Paris? No. Do their baguettes demonstrate a clear understanding of the fine balance of science and art that produce a quality artisanal bread? Yes.\n\nWith rare exception everything I've purchased from Crossroads has been good or excellent. \n\nIf you're driving through Doylestown make the effort to find this place.",
"Out of the way but worth the trouble! Every baked good you could imagine, plus an espresso bar. Fresh crusty loaves, harder and harder to come by these days but at Crossroads it's a guarantee.",
"3.5 stars. They have great coffee and the staff is super nice, the olive rolls are indeed very good, as are all the other breads. But, their other goods -tarts, cakes, etc...are not as striking as the breads. Still good, but just not terribly special. They're the only game for miles around and their pricing reflects that- higher than similar quality goods a drive away in Philadelphia, sometimes shockingly high. A good choice if you're in the area but I wouldn't make a special trip.",
"In the age of hypermarket and walmartization of the US, it is a breath of fresh air to find a small shop dedicated to making quality product for a local area.\n\nCrossroads Bakeshop is my morning stop for a cup of fair trade coffee, a freshly baked croissant or olive roll. They also have great holiday breads like stollen, and italian panatone. Fridays you may also find buttery treats like brioche which will melt in your mouth.\n\nMy motto is eat local .. and Crossroads is a reason to live up to that motto.",
"Love this bakery...we regularly buy the cappucinno cheesecake and the green olive bread....always delicious and fresh. I would have given 5 stars but they take cash and checks only...no credit/debit cards.",
"To call this place a \"Bake Shop\" is not doing it justice! This is the ultimate place where those of us who are Carb Junkies can indulge the senses and tastebuds in the best breads, cakes, cookies and other delights you can imagine. I make a special trip to Crossroads every couple of weeks for the scones and the terrific Italian jam-filled thumb cookies. I have also had their fruit pies (to die for!) and several of their cakes - you just can't go wrong! I love their breads and rolls as well, and just tried their homemade pizza this weekend. Took home a few slices for lunch, heated it up and thoroughly enjoyed every lip-smacking bit. Just the right amount of sauce, cheeses and seasoning on a thin crust, cut into a square. I will definitely try this again. Their quiches also looked wonderful and they are on my \"must try\" list. If you are in the Doylestown area, you absolutely must try Crossroads!",
"It's a bakery, but I think the place is much more well known for their bread. All of their bread are excellent. Olive rolls are out of this world, spicy or black... They also have special breads that are only available on Fri and Sat too. I forgot their names but they are equally 'superb'. \n\nBirthday cakes are European style, meaning 'not too sweet' but creamy instead. \n\nThe service is quick and people are friendly. \n\nPrices are in the high side but it is just fair that you have to pay for quality and good products. I don't go up that way too much, but some time just thinking of those Olive rolls alone would make me take the 10 miles trip to go up there for them.",
"The bakeries in Bucks County have not been that great, but Crossroads is surprisingly good - anbd busy as a beehive on Saturday mornings.\n\nMy daughter's itty-bitty (.95 cents) chocolate cupcake was the perfect size of deliciousness and I enjoyed a flaky buttery croissant.\n\nI was very impressed with what we tried and would definitely come back again."

"Hands down the best cake and icing. I would sell my first born if I had to choose between the sweetest most tempting icing in history. If I can't have Kruta cake for my birthday or holiday or whatever then I don't want any. I'd actually throw a fit to get this cake at my age! If you live in IL there is nothing better than a Kruta cake. I used to call it the Soup Nazi's of bakeries cause the ladies kept you in line to use your number and be prepared to give your order. Sadly they've all past or finally retired after 90 years and got a new crew in. Doesn't matter you wont taste anything bad here. Thank God they finally started taking debit/credit cards cause I would miss out on buying the store when I never have enough cash. They've caught up with technology but they still serve down home unique moistest cakes ever. I mean evaa evaa. Every time I introduce a coworker to thier cakes I end up having to make special trips to buy them cakes for their events. I can't say enough about their magical bakery. \n\nPS....do not try attempt to buy anything around holidays especially Easter or Christmas (large Catholic populations) cause you'll stand in line for an hour....I'VE DID IT.",
"I didn't know how good I had it as a kid.\nAte Kruta's all the time.\nCreme de Menth cake, Lemon Crunch Cake, Creme Horns, Raspberry Jelly Donuts (mostly jelly, less donut), Chocolate Frosted Custard Donuts (refrigerated so the custard is nice and cold), and the only Gooey Butter Cake worth eating. \n\nThis is my favorite bakery in the whole world. I live in New York City. I've been to world famous bakeries and restaurants. I'd rather eat a 99cent Raspberry Jelly Donut from Krutas any day.",
"This bakery is a family tradition! Literally, I am the fourth generation fan and I come all the way from Los Angeles for their bakery goodness.\n\nI have bought occasion cakes as well as morning pastries and it is all delicious. \n\nGO there NOW!\n\nPros: \nEverything they bake is perfect\n\nCons: \nlimited hours\ncash only",
"When you have a bakery that has been in business this long, you know it's good. The way times have changed people buy their baked good at convenience stores, grocery stores, etc, because it's easier and faster and most of the time cheaper.\n\nHowever, this place has stayed alive for many years and makes some of the most amazing glazed donuts you will ever have. They do holiday cookie orders and donuts and breads, etc etc. Have never been dis-satisfied with anything we have purchased from there. Gooey butter cake - to. die. for.\n \nThe only real con is that their hours are so limited you can't just pop in for a donut whenever you feel like it. \n\nAbsolutely worth it, this place is a Collinsville staple and a family tradition like previously mentioned. I remember my grandparents bringing home a box of Kruta's donuts on Sunday morning when *I* was a kid... plan on following the same tradition on occasion with my own family.",
"Best bakery in the St. Louis area. Their cheesehorns and pecan pies are amazing!",
"This place is a staple in Collinsville. If you live near c-ville then you already know about the awesome cakes, mouth watering gooey butter dessert, and the oh so filling donuts.\n\nSimply the best.",
"I was very skeptical about the hype of this place but it has not disappointed! Amazing donuts, large variety, and I can only guess that the other baked goods are equally as good. Cinnamon rolls are great. For something a little different, try a maple & brown sugar frosted roll. This place is definitely worth going out of the way for. If you live in the Metro East, this is one of the best. A little pricey but other than that, no complaints!",
"THE. BEST. BAKERY. ON. EARTH.\n\nSeriously, this place is top notch. They have been in business since 1919 and that alone speaks for itself. \n\nSomebody mentioned it was pricey, but I actually think their prices are VERY reasonable. These \"swanky\" new bakeries popping up are much more pricey and don't have anything on the raw deliciousness of Kruta. Of course compared to Wal-Mart bakery sure you may pay a little more, but really the quality is something special. \n\nFrom breads, cakes, pies, pastries of all sorts...some fruit filled, cream filled, chocolate dipped, or sprinkled the possibilities are endless. \n\nIf you live in the Metro East or even across the river...you need to get yourself some Kruta!!! Good luck deciding what to chose ;)",
"The only authentic Polish bakery in the St. Louis area! They make great breads and sweet delicacies! However, much to my disappointment, they do not make kolaczki! But don't let that stop you. Everything they make at Kruta's is GOOOOOD!",
"only real bakery in the area. no, wal-mart...you don't count.\nkruta is everything you want in a bakery."

"Famous (infamous) for delicious food and consistently crappy service, Olympia is like that lover that you can't quite break up with. Prices have gone up too much, while service and decor remain stagnant, but that wonderful Greek food draws you back time after time. Be sure to try the spanakopita. The outdoor seating area is great. Have fun playing Frogger crossing the street.",
"I don't care about the food, the parking, or anything except the food. Easily the best Greek in St. Louis.\n\nOrder the flaming cheese at least once.",
"Best Greek food in the city. Yum. Yum. Yum. The mixed appetizer platter is fantastic! Decor is a bit divey and service is just okay, but who cares when the food is that good.",
"Fantastic gyros, tasty spanakopitas and cheap prices. Great Greek beers and quick service. Definitely the place to go for Greek food in STL.",
"DE-LISH! The appetizer sampler was a great mix of hummus, babaganoush (or however the hell you spell it), feta, olives, peppercini, and warm/soft pita bread. The gyro was also very good, although I'd recommend getting the deluxe gyro w/lettuce and feta over the basic version. Also, I found the mid-70s decor to be kind of charming -- gave the place character.",
"The service was as horrible as the food was AMAZING. the waitress would just dissappear...where the hell did she go? was she running a flea market in the back?!\n\nmenus? wait 15 minutes\nbeer? wait 15 minutes\nlunch? wait 45 minutes\ndessert? wait 15 minutes.\n\nWe were really happy when the food finally came tho. The lamb kebob's were perfect - crusty on the outside, juicy and tender on the inside. and the baklava was dense & gooey.\n\nWe'll definitely be back, just at a different table.",
"The food was just okay. The spankanopita was tasty, as was the baklava. The service was horrendous.",
"I've been going here since the 80's (when I lived in St. Louis) It's kind of a hole in the wall that has grown since I first found it. The atmosphere is very casual but decent. The greek food is nothing fancy but your typical greek food. It's very tasty-much better than those greek places in the malls. It is served sit down style. The service is decent. I know this review doesn't sound like a 5 star review but I really used to love going to this place. Their gyro meat is vey tasty and the pita was always hot and fresh. It's not as fancy as say Spiros but then when I go to Spiros I'm not going for gyro and falafel. This is my place in St. Louis for casual greek food.",
"I came here for a work meeting. Someone else did all the ordering for the table, and I was too busy talking and drinking free wine to remember what exactly I ate. I DO remember that it was delicious. I'll definitely come back and pay more attention sometime. Until then, I recommend it.",
"Great place! My favorite place in the city. \nA great place to meet up with friends for a casual dinner or before going out to a bar. Outdoor seating in the spring, summer, and fall makes for easy talking and drinking. A very layed back atmosphere where almost anything goes. Also a private banquet room in back is perfect for larger parties and special occasions.\nThe menu is predominantly Greek. Offering gyros, stuffed peppers, etc. Also traditional favorites like hot wings and steak burgers.\nThe bartender \"Terry\" has a heavy left hand, so for the light and low tolerance drinkers one should be enough."

"This is based on a pre-launch party which is the place to be tonight! The ambiance is open air garage Broad Ripple style. Really fun atmosphere with a graffiti artist in action outside and a DJ spinning inside. Dining on delicious burgers, chicken sandwiches, and an alternative kumara fires. They have some tasty organic shakes, booze, and kids meals. Don't worry vegetarians/vegans, you have options here! Fun new Broad Ripple haunt!",
"This place is amazing. I absolutely love the C N Burger and the sweet potato fries are to die for. I had the opportunity to go to the soft opening and I have got to say, watch out you other burger joints this place is for real! It will be Broadripple's new hot place!",
"We were fortunate to be able to try this place before it officially opened through an invitation only Yelp Elite event. \n\nThe restaurant originates in New Zealand and this is it's first US location. How cool is that?! Right here in Indy!\n\nAt the event, we had a chance to sample two of their burgers, one of their chicken sandwiches, both the regular and sweet potato fries and motobites. The burgers were juicy and the chicken was tender. The fries were served with aioli and were also good. And the motobites are a \"must try\". Our server described them as vegetable hush puppies. They're crumbed pumpkin, carrot, chickpea and ginger fried into a nice golden brown bite and served with either a lemon aioli or a Chipotle aioli. I tried it with the Chipotle which was good, but next time I will try the lemon.\n\nThis little gem first right in to the Broad Ripple scene and is sure to be a popular spot.",
"What great food. Was there for the pre opening party and got to sample many of the menu items. Fantastic. Best burgers and fries. The staff and management are so friendly. Great place",
"How can a burger joint change your point of view on life? It all comes down to the vegan burger, STOOOOP judging right now because if you now me I used to hate everything vegan. Well this vegan burger was so good that I stalked the hostess for more samples. I am going to open my world up to new vegan opportunities, I can believe I just said that.\n\nOk downtown to the restaurant, the place is pretty cool with nice art work and a great atmosphere. There were over 300 people that showed up all at once and the kitchen staff was kicking but and taking names.\n\nBurgers-Burgers-Burgers that is the name of the game and they are winning. We tried 3 burgers, 1 chicken sandwich, The Vegan, and a vegetarian burger. All of the sandwiches were great. Motobites is a side that you can get that are pretty darn good. They are like a tater tot, mashed potatoes, and a hush puppy hooked up one night and 9 months later we got the Motobites. They also make all the sauces in house and everything is super fresh. \n\nThis place is a must try. I will have to come back soon to see if I can find something I don't like about this place until then 5 starts!!!",
"Options and more options! Sure it's a burger place but there were sooo many options. Of course I was checking for the vegetarian and vegan options at the soft opening. Yummy little fried chickpea & carrot nuggets (Motobites) were just right for starters. The sweet potato fries were the perfect mix of sweet and salty. And then the burgers arrived...The ingredients were so fresh and hearty. The vegan burger was the best. Great taste even in the hustle and bustle of the event. I'll definitely be back for a full size burger.",
"Rattle ya dags and make your way to Burgerfuel! \n(How'd you like my Kiwi slang?)\n\nThe first thing you should know is that my friends and I have claimed this as \"our spot\" for the summer. Burgerfuel is absolutely everything you could want in a Broad Ripple restaurant. If you google \"Burgerfuel\", you'll end up with \"burger restaurant\" for your result, and that's just about as true as calling Dante a writer, Michaelangelo a sculptor, or Bruno Mars a singer (I like Bruno, hush it! LOL). \n\nFood is fuel, and Burgerfuel has it in delightful abundance. From custom burgers to veggie patties, gluten free options to alcoholic shakes (Yay!) they've covered all the bases. I'm particularly partial to the Kumara (sweet potato) fries, dipped in aioli. Basically think of all the yums that ever yummed in yummville, and you'll have the deliciousness which is those fries. I also sampled the motobites, which are a vegetarian's dream, and a wonderfully good chicken sandwich. \n\nThe restaurant is located right off of the strip, near the BR fire station. I actually love that location, because that means that free parking is just a few blocks away. The back patio is sure to become a destination for the \"cool kids\" that call BR their second home. Throw in a little cornhole, and a custom graffiti piece, and it's a hipster's dream. If you're not so hip, go anyway, the Burgerfuel Kiwis (New Zealanders) will welcome you with open arms!",
"First day. First try. So good. Way to go NZ. Thanks for choosing indiana. The burnout is super good. That mustard is fantastic. \n\nGet the fries. Love the aoli. Next time I'm getting a side of the mustard too!",
"I got to try out out the place before it officially opened. This included burgers, chicken, fries, beer, and motobites! (those motobites are made of pumpkin, carrots, chickpeas, other things and are the bomb!... so good).\n\nEverything was good. The burger is grass fed beef. I saw the machine for organic milkshakes (have yet to try, but am looking forward to it when I do). It just tasted good.\n\nI was able to talk to a good number of people who worked here. They all were very excited for being able to work for this company. It sounds like an impressive place that is going to do very well.\n\nLoved it and will be going back with the whole family!",
"Stopped in on Memorial Day. Pretty crowded but service was quick. You order at the counter and take a number to your seat. Burgers were very good with quality ingredients it seemed. Fat Dan's is still my favorite burger but BurgerFuel is in a great location and the price was very reasonable for the quality of the food! Bier Brewery cans-- two thumbs up! Welcome to the neighborhood! We'll be back!"

"This is the best Mexican restaurant in Boise. I have been to Mexico over 10 times in the past 30 years, and I believe the only real competition for Andrade's is in Mexico. You can get all the standard TexMex dishes at Andrade's, but you can also get many authentic and regional dishes from Michoacan, Yucatan, Jalisco, and others. Puerco Uruapan is an awesome dish and is composed of chunks of shredded pork cooked with corn, onions, jalapenos, and butter beans. It is served with roasted potatoes which are red with achiote, and whole beans sprinkled with cotija cheese. Don't be surprised to see the owner, Javier, talking to his customers! It is a very friendly place.",
"Close to the freeway, and this is the best Mexican restaurant in Boise.

It is served with roasted potatoes which are red with achiote, and whole beans sprinkled with cotija cheese. Don't be surprised to see the owner, Javier, talking to his customers! It is a very friendly place.",
"Great place. Andrade's is the best Mexican restaurant that I would take every friend or client to when they visit Boise. They have the best salsa which is homemade, got some kick and very fresh. I usually use them to spice up my main dish as well. Tacos are great here. My other favorite is machaca with grilled jalapenos. It is hot!!!!!! The staffs at the Andrade's are very friendly and helpful.",
"This restaurant inhabits the building that formerly housed Shakeys, and has done a very good job of remodeling it to resemble a sort of pseudo Mexican pueblo. The atmosphere and decorations are both immersing and fun. On our visit the owner was walking around and visiting with each table to ensure the food was to their liking and that they were enjoying themselves. A very enjoyable restaurant from the ambiance perspective.\n\nThe food however, was only average in presentation and taste. I ordered a Camarones dish, sauteed in garlic and butter with onions, mushrooms and bell peppers. The vegetables seemed a tad undercooked, and the prawns didn't seem to be all that fresh. My fiance ordered enchiladas verde, which had decent flavor but an odd texture.\n\nIt was an enjoyable dining experience on the whole, and as a disclaimer my dad said that his chile relleno and tamale were very good. I'll be trying Andrades again; and of course I'll update my review to reflect any changes I experience in the quality of the food.",
"I give Andrade's four stars as it is eaily the best Mexican restaurant in Boise. Though, it is not the best Mex I've had. \n\nIf you just want tasty tacos or a chicken burrito or something basic and good - you should go to just about any taco truck on the side of any street, especially in Nampa or Caldwell. \n\nFriends have been disappointed at Andrade's for such selections: dry chicken, ground beef... odd tasting steak carbon.\n\nMy favorite dish (of the two times I've visited) is the \"Enchiladas de la Casa,\" spucy chorizo enchiladas with grilled zucchini, other veggies and cojita, served with pinto beans and delicious herbed potatoes (a nice change from refried beans and rice).\n\nAn extensive salsa bar, not for the faint of heart... Their \"mild\" has some kick!\n\nThe decor is clean and kind of \"fancy\" for a Mexican restaurant, the wait staff is very friendly.\n\nPrice is comprable to other Mexican restaurants in the area, about $7-$12 for dinner.",
"If I go back I will only order the chile relleno plate which features some mexican crema that is so delicious I can't believe it. And I don't know where you would get it or how to make it. \n\nThe mole was good, but only good. It was nothing to write home about. \n\nOther than that, this was pretty standard Mexican fare. Traditional, but not exceptional.",
"Great chicken and tortilla soup. Horribly slow service though.",
"On a trip back from the Midwest, my boyfriend and I were craving Mexican. I did a search on Yelp and found Andrade's was pretty close to the freeway and had good reviews. We were very happy with our meals, especially the Especial de Javier Dos. Boy, it had amazing flavor! We had great service and enjoyed our time. Thanks!",
"I hate to write less-than-stellar reviews.. I really do. I LOVE to give great places the praise they've worked so hard to deserve. Its NOT easy to run a restaurant, or any type of establishment... especially in this shitty economy. \n\nSo last weekend, when I had a hankering for some delicious chips and salsa and a chile relleno, among other Mexican goodies... I, of course, checked in with my fellow yelpers to lead me in the right direction. This isn't like Southern California where you can throw a rock and hit 5 delicious Mexican joints. Hence why its taken me almost 2 months to even ATTEMPT to find a good Mexican restaurant.\n\nWhen I saw the decent reviews for Andrades, I was pretty excited, especially since I happened to be in the general vicinity at the moment. One reviewer even went as far to say that it was the best Mexican cuisine outside of Mexico. Well, I'm assuming that he hasn't been to California recently. Because i was less than thrilled with Andrades.\n\nFirst of all, we arrived late Saturday afternoon. Like, 2:00 or so... Not really what I would call the \"rush\" hour of the restaurant world. Manfriend and I waited at the host area for a good ten minutes. Finally, after we still were not acknowledged... Manfriend found a kitchen worker and asked if we were to just seat ourselves, or..... FINALLY, the one and only server working came to inform us that he was just cleaning off a booth and we would be sat as soon as he was finished. Swell.\n\nI do have to say, their menu is quite extensive, with all kinds of salads, combinations, tacos, burritos, seafood options, and carne. There are almost TOO many options, especially for my incredibly indecisive ass. One gripe that I do have, is that they seem to have a problem making any substitutions on the combos or anything else for that matter. Which I find incredibly odd.... at almost EVERY mexican restaurant Ive ever been to (which is ALOT), I've had NO problem substituting things... especially when I am willing to pay for said substitution. \n\nFinally after about 2 baskets of chips and several cups of salsa... oh, and a pitcher of water (the server just left it on the table. good call), I was ready to order. I decided upon the 1 item combo, which was a pork tamale (they only have pork tamales... womp wompppp), and my sides were the chicken tortilla soup and a salad. Also, I ordered a chile relleno on the side, since I couldn't seem to get it as part of my actual combo... whatev.\n\nThe tamale was good... I guess.. no Long Beach Cinco De Mayo shit, but okay.. and the chile relleno was exceptional at best.. I just had a hard time NOT comparing each thing I had with my fave joints in CA. Made me rather homesick. Not a feeling you want to have when going out to eat in the city you decided to move to..\n\nI am still on the hunt for a GREAT Mexican place in Boise-area... let me know if you know of any... til then, my Yelpers. =(",
"Hands down the best Mexican food ever! From simple shredded beef tacos (the yummiest ever) to unique, savory dishes, Andrades has it all. Javier and his staff are like a family and they treat their customers as such too. \n\nWe recently moved to Taiwan and the first place that we go upon our return to Boise is Andrades."

"As Madonna said of her own concert performance, captured in the brilliant/ridiculous \"Truth or Dare,\" \"Truly one of the all-time worst!\" \n\nYou're probably wondering what made me go into a Chili's in the first place, but I was spending along weekend humoring my parents and at the time it seemed easier to go along with it.\n\nFirst, unless you're intimately familiar with the whole PA Turnpike meets Route 202 and connects to Route 76 on top of DeKalb Pike interchange, it's likely you'll never even get to the parking lot. At this intersection, just because you can see it doesn't mean you can achieve it. \n\nSlow service, mediocre food, uncomfortable seats, slow service, loud bar patrons. Really slow service, and except for the bar, the place was empty. And lots of iceberg lettuce and fried beige things -- really, what is this place?\n\nAnd then my parents got into a big fight, and while that was arguably not Chili's fault, the slow service may have been a trigger. So while it seemed easier at the time to humor them, since they were in a fighting mood anyway, why not go to a decent restaurant?",
"Usually, I cannot, in good conscience, give any chain restaurant more than one star but it is one chain that has everything:\n\n1.Overall good service\n2.Friendly and attentive waitress \n3.Clean\n4.Relatively quiet \n5.Consistency of food - every time I go to a Chili's they cook and prepare the food the same.\n6. Yummy drinks (yes, the alcoholic kind)\n\nI think maybe it got more than one star because I was there on one of the off peak times but hey it worked for me that day!",
"Chili's Grill & Bar is one chain I can stomach, though I've never been able to put my finger firmly on exactly why. Maybe it's because my food is always decent? Maybe it's because the floor staff are friendly and fast? Maybe it's their take out service?\n\nI've been to this Chili's a few times with small and large groups, and never had any issues. It looks like any other Chili's, so no surprises there. If you're in the neighborhood and like Chili's, find this one on the corner of 202 and Gulph Road - it's not the easiest place to get to if you're unfamiliar with the area, so be warned.",
"This place has good fast service. The menu has many great selections to choose from. I've been here many times with large groups during lunch hour and had a positive experience. \n\nThis place is great for a low key get together when you feel like having a good time without spending alot of money.",
"I am not the biggest fan of Mexican or Tex-Mex, but there is one thing that saves Chili's from 2 stardom...the bacon. I usually order the southern smokehouse bacon big mouth burger, which besides being a mouthful to say, has smoked cheddar cheese, crispy onion strings, mayo, shredded lettuce, tomato, pickle and ancho-chile BBQ sauce AND the bacon. The bacon is very thick cut brown sugar & chile-rubbed making it oh so sweet and spicy. Very few things in the world get me as excited as bacon does, and this bacon is spectacular. \n\nIf Chili's was a bacon store with nothing else for sale, I would give them 5 stars. As it is, they offer plenty more that isn't spectacular, and the wait staff can be slow (though I am impressed with their memorization skills).",
"My mother and I go often and had dinner there tonight. I am on a diet and I found the server to be so accomodating (Keyon--he is great). He made me feel so comfortable asking for veggies instead of rice (the chicken margarita is fabulous for a diet). I love that the nutritional information is on the website to help me stay with my goals. My mother loves to have a margarita (frozen with salt) and usually goes for the shrimp tacos. She likes that the breading is light and fluffy, not greasy. Everytime I ask her if she wants me to take her there for dinner, she is always happy to go! PS. The Southwestern Eggroll appetizer is a favorite of ours..worth trying if you haven't yet.",
"Yup, this is the one right next to the KOP mall. It has been there forever. The bad news is you may be able to see it but getting to it is another matter. Depending upon which direction you are coming from actually entering the parking lot is a nightmare! If by chance you get to enter, parking itself is a problem. It is a nasty, nasty lot. Getting out is just as bad.\n\nNow for the good news. Of course it's the usual Chili's menu but the management is excellent here. The staff is great along with the service. Your typical Chili's food will be served fast and hot. Adult libations are super.\n\nFor those in the know eating in the mall can be a serious problem. Two hour waits at The Cheese Cake Factory are common. That was true when we visited at 5:00 pm this Saturday. The wait at California Pizza Kitchen was 1 and 1/2 hours. At Chili's we were seated immediately. We may have to suffer the parking but at least we can eat!",
"YUM! My husband and I love Chili's! For someone who doesn't really like serious Mexican food, it's perfect. It's not too spicy or too \"scary\" to veer off from a typical diet of American-style chain restaurants. I had the Caribbean salad with grilled chicken yesterday and it was mouth-watering. YUM YUM YUM!",
"I went here the other night, and I was neither disappointed nor impressed - it was your standard Chili's. Service was good, and the food was served hot and fresh.\n\nMy friend and I opted for the 2 for $20 entree deal. We got the fried jalapenos and onions. The jalapenos were very good, but the onions were a little stringy and meh. My entree - a chicken \n\nAs other people have noted, the parking lot can be REALLY difficult to get into, so be prepared.\n\nIf you have a smartphone and use Foursquare, if you check in - you get a free heaping helping of chips and salsa! If you are with at least 3 other people, you get a free appetizer. Can't beat FREE!",
"My boyfriend and I had a late dinner at this Chili's location after checking in at a hotel down the street. We needed something quick, and this definitely hit the spot.\n\nIt's a Chili's, so the food is pretty standard. It was served quickly, as were our drinks. The only downside was that despite the fact we were the only table eating food, our waiter didn't really pay much attention to us as he was focused on the baseball game playing at the bar. When he *would* come up to us, he was frazzled and unfocused, probably because his mind was still on the game.\n\nDecent fast-food, mediocre service."

"This lovely spot was a welcome discovery for both the eyes and the tastebuds. We had a very restorative cup of tea and ogled the pastries on offer. The care put into the food seems tops. The atmosphere was gorgeous and artsy. An all around win!",
"A unique coffee house with a mission: to connect generations in a classic coffee house setting. An article online describes it as a \"social enterprise start-up\" and emphasizes the store as a means to help benefit the community. \n\nThe inside feels a bit like an art installation. There is an area for kids to play and also plenty of open space. \n\nIt's definitely worth checking out if you want something other than the standard corporate coffee house vibe. The coffee is definitely of higher quality.",
"The BEST lemon curd EVER and you can buy it in a jar to take home. Excellent scones as well. Great vibe. Comfy and lovely. Can't wait to have high tea there.",
"Excellent!\nWe live in Society Hill Towers so we are very glad this excellent breakfast and lunch opportunity is there. We love the Continental Plate and the Granola yogurt to split. Coffee is delicious.\n\nTheir space is spare, light and has high ceilings that give an excellent feel.\n\nService is low key. Very nice people.\n\nMake sure you get there soon -- you will want to come back often!",
"This new little cafe/restaurant has made a huge difference in our community. It is a meeting place for many that feels like home. The menu is just right for lite eating, as are the coffee and sweets. All made fresh every day. It's an interesting space, open and light and a great place to sit and read and talk to others.\n\nOn the weekends there are specials, and their quiche is wonderful.",
"Wonder place. Opened only about 4 months ago it is sure a crowd pleaser. We walked in and were completely taken away by the atmosphere and the deserts (lol). Overall we had a great experience and plan to be back. Located just within Society Hill- Frieda is a must!! Thanks for the awesome service!",
"YUM!! The best coffee I've had since I got back to the US. Very tasty granola and yogurt for breakfast, and the croissants were luscious!!",
"From the first time on to this day, l always have a unique experience at Frieda. Mostly l stop for a good cup of coffee and read the NYT. I meet people, now friends, to share a story. My wife and I, joined a French conversation group that we enjoy. I invite friends for lunch. Recently we were at the opening of a portrait exhibition by a Philadelphia artist. Lunch prepared by French chef David (co-owner) is prepared using local ingredients and delicious. As to Thomas (co-owner) he is charming and engaging, always looking for new ideas on how to connect people.\nMy only connection to Frieda cafe is my own discovery. It is not your usual coffee place. Step in, be open and discover for yourself.\nSamy Rabinovic, Philadelphia",

"California Pizza Kitchen is good for what it is. They have a large menu with all kinds of pizza choices that you couldn't find anywhere else. Plenty of options for the vegetarians. But I would still rather drive a few more miles and eat at Pizza Perfect. \nDon't take a group here. They only have a handful of tables that accommodate more than four. And do expect to see everyone that you have ever met yet didn't care to see again.",
"My husband and I were on a Sunday afternoon mission to find spicy ethnic food to battle our head colds, and finding nothing, gave up and stopped at CPK. Much to our surprise, we were able to get just that, and a great waiter.\n\nWe ordered spicy approximated Asian dishes (ie, \"Thai Linguine,\" pad thai with Italian noodles.) and bloody marys. Our waiter sensed this theme and scoured around for a dish of chili paste which helped immensely. \n\nEverything tasted awesome, and the service was quick. I'll definitely stop in again.",
"I was amazed at how the building interior was designed very much like the diners we grew up with in the 1960s and 1970s...except it was upscale looking, clean, and fresh. Lots of booth and counter space. It has cocktails, but not a loafer's lounge type of bar feel. The food is fresh and you can actually eat a pizza without feeling guilty. There are several choices of pizzas that aren't greasy American style corporate pizza...and they have real fresh vegetables on them. The service is average Nashville service...aka...who's in charge and what if they really were...but if you've got an hour and want to relax and eat good food...this place is real fine.",
"I knew this was a chain when it came to Nashville, because I'd eaten the frozen version from the grocery store and thought they were better than most of the frozen pizzas I've eaten, so when a friend suggested it, I was excited to go. \n\nI tried the Jamaican Jerk pizza and it was very tasty. The most difficult thing was choosing a pizza from the many choices. I want to go back and try some more, although I did get a chance to try some of my friend's pizzas.\n\nThe individual pizzas are big enough to eat some and then have enough to take home and heat up the next day (I thought it tasted even better the next day). It is nice to eat a good gourmet pizza and have a nice glass of wine in a good surrounding with good service.",
"Ahhh, I could take it or leave it. I've been a few times and I just think it should taste better than it does. The menu is exciting and there are tons of things to pick from BUT I don't know it just ends up being make me close my eyes and moan good. I mean it's not the rip off that say Cheesecake factory is but still there are plenty of mom and pop places in Nashville that are way better that use fresh vegetables and such. Sure you can't get 43 different themed pizzas but the ones they have are tremendous. This is just good and it will always be consistent. \n\nWith that said, their ambiance is kind of fun with the diner vibe so I could see the appeal there. I also will say the service is always very good which is worthy of the star. So one star for the service, one star for the diner vibe, one star for the pizza, and what you have is a good restaurant.",
"So I finally tried this place last night. I was really surprised on a Thursday night at 6:30 that I was able to get seated immediately (party of two of course). The waitstaff seemed to have their hands full though. It didn't take a long time to get food, drinks, etc. but it wasn't snappy either. \n\nI found the pizza to be mediocre, unique but not special. We tried their avocado rolls, which were weird. They are basically southwestern egg rolls but with chicken, bacon and avocado that you dip in ranch. We ate them all, but I don't think I'd order again. I also got the half BBQ chicken salad and it was so covered in dressing you couldn't taste the lettuce. It was weird. \n\nI don't know if I'll go back - we spent 40 bucks on two ppl, which is a bit much in my opinion.",
"We have been a few times, and it was good when the pizza came hot out of the oven... BUT!... we got pizza togo from there, and for whatever reason, it was -not- good once we got home with it and tried to eat it.\n\nCould be that we got the thin crust, which for some reason is only good right outa the oven. We tried to bring it back to life by reheating in our oven (not microwave!), and it still did not help.",
"I've been to the restaurant twice now, and both have been good experiences. The first time I was there, the server was almost too professional, but the second time the server was very personable and made the experience much more laid back. We happened to go on a very busy night because of a promotion they have right now, but we received our orders in a decent amount of time. \n\nI've tried two pizzas now that are outside the 'norm' of pizzas for me. They weren't 'to die for' pizzas, but the cool thing about California Pizza Kitchen is that if you don't find the best pizza ever on one visit, then there's several others to try. \n\nDefinitely an awesome place to go if you're bored with pepperoni or the regular pizza toppings. However, I still can't make myself like lettuce on any pizza. \n\nOh, and definitely sit at the bar at least once if you're a fan of watching how things are made. It most certainly added to the whole experience.",
"Great food for all! As far as the pizza goes it doesn't get much better. We had drinks (moderately priced) and the cheese bread for starters. For our main course we had the white pizza which was a little bland but still good, and their version of the \"meat lovers pizza\" which, in our opinion, was incredible. A generous meal for two left us penniless at $52 plus tip, but that did get us two (alcoholic) beverages, the cheapest appetizer, and two pizzas. All-in-all ill defiantly go back to California Pizza Kitchen.",
"Abysmal. Both me and the person I was with agreed it was one of the worst meals we've had in Nashville.\n\nThe pizza tastes EXACTLY like the frozen CPK pizzas you can find in your neighborhood grocery store. Which, for frozen pizza, is pretty good. But not when you are actually paying $12 for it in the restaurant.\n\nThe ambience of this place just doesn't sit right with me either. It's just overall not a good place to eat for any occasion.\n\nIt was about 8pm on a Saturday night and it was maybe 20% full. I wonder why..."

"My mild-mannered dad usually doesn't care where we go or what we do when we hang out. So when I asked him last weekend where he wanted to go for lunch, I was surprised to get an enthusiastic, \"Let's go to Red Robin, it's fun there!\" Personally, I hesitate to call any family restaurant \"fun,\" but if it makes my dad happy, Red Robin it is.\n\nRed Robin features cheery, primarily red decor, and it has the advantage over other family restaurants in that it resists the urge to hang random shit all over the walls. No canoes, no street signs, no posters of dead actors from the 1950s. Yes, the gaily patterned fabric lampshade covers are a bit much, but try not to look at them.\n\nThe menu is quite small, and focuses pretty exclusively on burgers (which includes turkey/chicken and veggie \"burgers\"). If you want anything else, you're kind of out of luck - they only have a few wraps and a handful of salads. There are some American-style entrees, but fewer than a dozen, and they're all over $10, which is more than I really want to pay for lunch at a family restaurant. The menu is literally one laminated sheet, and while you don't expect a ton of choices at a place like Red Robin, it just feels really limiting to not even have a page to turn.\n\nThe servers are usually perky (this is the \"fun\" part my dad was alluding to), and pretty on the ball as far as checking in, soda refills, etc. If you come late in the evening, they're often kind of bored and ready to chat with you to pass the time, but during the lunch rush, they're friendly but busy.\n\nRed Robin is an easy, no-brainer choice when you want a quick, simple burger or sandwich for lunch. But it's also overpriced and has a very limited menu, and I often find myself settling for something I don't really want, because they don't have what I do want. Oh, and one final note: they make a big deal on their menu about their \"bottomless steak fries,\" but in all the times I've been there, no server has ever offered or asked if I wanted more. Not that I need any more fat and calories in my life, but if you're going to lure people in with a promise of infinite refills, you should at least make a pretense of fulfilling that claim.",
"I don't know why I keep going back to Red Robin when I know that there are so many superior places to get a burger in town, but sometimes the siren call of those fries draws me back. That and those little onion crispies they put on some of their burgers. I've just recently found a new reason to patronize Red Robin, though, and that is their killer kid's menu. There are several entrees, with which your lucky kid gets bottomless drink (even milk!) and their choice of several relatively healthy side dishes. All for under $5.\n\nThat said, the one reason I really, really want to hate Red Robin is their overcooked meat policy. At RR you get two choices of how you want your burger done: \"No Pink\" or \"Some Pink.\" WTF?! If you ask your server about this, your server will inform you that they are required by law to cook meat to a certain temperature--blah, blah, blah. If you order a burger at Claim Jumper they will cook your burger however you want, even raw if you so desire. That is because Claim Jumper uses quality meat. The meat at RR? Well, let's just say you're not allowed to see much pink.",
"I ate here this week at the request of a child. \n\nHere are my thoughts:\n\nFood came out quick\n\nServer didn't give us napkins or silverware - had to ask (this is a standard). \nService was spotty; two different people on two separate occasions left napkins then silverware. \n\nIt was a long time between check-ins too\n\nFood:\nMe: Crispy Fish Burger - wanted lemon but couldn't see server to ask\nwouldn't order again. Two huge strips on a bun, cut it in half and both strips were on one side. Better off ordering fish and chips.\n\nChild: BBQ Hamburger Mess (I don't know why child ordered this)\nOnly ate half\n\nFood was okay; pricey in my opinion.\nTuesday night is kid's night= free games and performers.",
"This was my first time going to Red Robin's - it was an interesting place. We had a great server, we got our food REALLY QUICKLY - in fact we didnt have time to even really get started on the appetizer when the order came out. BTW - the appetizers were great. We got fried cheese sticks, and chips/salsa/guacamole - both were great. \n\nI went for the Bacon Cheese Burger - the menu promised \"thick slices of bacon\" - but they actually came out as little thin skinny slices - but still the burger was good - nothing gourmet about it - honestly Burger King or Carl's Jr has better tasting burger. \n\nMy friend had - Prime Rib Dip and garlic Parmesan - the fries were awesome (I stole a few) \n\nI think its cool you get endless fries - but we didn't have room for more! \n\nI kind of like this place, it was bright and clean and colorful, people seemed happy. \n\nThey have a full bar, if drinking is your thing, and a \"to-die-for\" looking dessert menu - no room for that either. \n\n$45.00 for 2 people \n\nI'm gonna give it another try soon - even if its just for a piece of that Mud Pie!",
"Bottomless steak fries, and a burger that has three different animals on it(Royal Red Robin Burger, has a beef patty, bacon, and a fried egg). What more needs to be said. It's not a gourmet place, but they have some great burgers and sandwiches. It's consitent, and one of the few places that still lets you order your burger with some pink inside.",
"The Reno Red Robin is the only one in the chain I have been to, my husband swears that it's not a good example of the chain and that he has been to other Red Robin's that are very good, but as disappointed as I was in the Reno Red Robin, I doubt I will try another one. \n\nThe hamburger was mediocre- the bun was dry which puzzled me, the place is obviously busy so I couldn't figure out if the bun was stale, or if they just leave it out uncovered for so long that it dries out- either way that's unacceptable for a pricey burger. The fries which my husband promised I would love disappointed. I think they are frozen freezing changes the texture of the fry and these had that peculiar graininess that you find in a frozen fry. \n\nRed Robin is an attractive, noisy, kid's oriented restaurant that sells very mediocre and overpriced food- I won't be back! I just heard that the new Legends Shopping center in sparks has a Fuddrucker's, if it's as good as the other Fuddrucker's I have been to, I bet Red Robin will lose some business to them",
"So I generally really like Red Robin, and I even gave the one in San Bruno five stars. We stopped at the Red Robin in Reno on Father's day on the way home from visiting my in-laws in Carson City, and it just wasn't up to par as far as Red Robin goes. \n\nFirst of all, the feng shui of the place was just 'off'. I didn't like how the place was set up, and I didn't feel comfortable. The space just didn't flow. \n\nThe food was alright. I didn't order a burger, I got a crispy chicken sandwich, which was pretty good. My fries came with a healthy amount (read: coated with) of seasoned salt. Isn't that why they put a shaker of it on the table, so you can do it yourself? I'm not a big fan of steak fries to begin with, so I only at a couple of them anyway. My hubby had the whiskey river chicken wrap which is what he almost always orders there. \n\nI ordered chicken fingers with mandarin oranges for my daughter, and guess what came out? Chicken fingers with the same fries covered in seasoned salt. But our server quickly brought out the oranges when I pointed out the mistake.\n\nThe best thing about our meal was the dreamy orange smoothie (my standard drink order @ Red Robin). It actually seemed bigger than usual and I didn't even finish it.\n\nAfter our meal I needed to use the facilities before we hit the road again. The bathroom was marginally clean and it smelled (there was no kind of air freshener in there). The worst was the fact that the toilets had so little flushing power that it couldn't even flush down the toilet seat covers! I had to go so bad that I was just like, \"eff it, i gotta go, so I'm goin\", and I peed on top of two toilet seat covers. EWWWWWW!!!! (sorry TMI). \n\nAnyway, Reno has every single chain restaurant that you'd ever want to eat at, so I'd say skip this Red Robin and go elsewhere!!",
"Gayle, my son, and I had a nice time in Genoa, NV over the weekend visiting her Mom and helping out a Candy Dance. On the way to the Reno Airport to drop off my son, both Gayle and I thought that treating him at one of his favorite burger places would be a nice coda to this very pleasant home town weekend.\n\nMy son thoroughly enjoyed is Whiskey River BBQ burger (with strawberry lemonade and a vanilla shake for desert), while I thought that my Blue Ribbon Burger was better than average at best. Gayle thought that her salad was a little bland and unsubstantial. The bottomless steak fries were a nice accent to the burgers and salad.\n\nOn food alone, this Red Robin outing was a 3+ Star experience. However, from the point that a greeter opens the door for you when you first enter to the time they do it again when you leave, our service was the best that we'd experienced in a long time. The waiter saved us money by suggesting the 2 burger special (including dessert), the food was out fast, and refills were there before we thought to ask. And with a comfortable table and my son teaching us to play Texas Hold Em while we waited, it doesn't get much better than this.",
"The food is not very good. I guess that you would expect this of a chain, but there is nothing to write home about. Burgers are just OK, fries are decent. Overall, I think it is not worth the visit.",
"4 words. Honey Mustard Poppy Seed. Awesome! Garlic fries rock."

"A fine choice for a special meal. It's even better under the new management as of summer, 2011. The service is still superb, and everyone is friendly. A wonderful experience. It's BYOB, but you can get wine right across the street from Flickerwood, if you wish. Or, if you want, you can eat at Flickerwood, and they will walk your dishes across the street for you! The new owners are very happy with Kennett Square and making the best of their opportunity to own their first restaurant.",
"Dined at Portabella's for our anniversary this evening. Dinner was great. The special soup was Avalon seafood chowder. It was a 10+. Food was great with surprisingly large portions. Our server was very nice, but seemed a bit overwhelmed. It was a very busy night. The desert offerings were limited so we went elsewhere for desert and coffee. I actually prefer the byob thing. We bought a bottle of our own wine and they were happy to serve it with no uncorking fee. It still annoys me when places charge for that. The new owner was hostess for the evening. She made a point to stop at every table to welcome everyone and introduce herself. It was a nice hospitable touch. We will visit again.",

"In one word? Yummy! I stopped here for lunch with my 19-yr daughter on a very rainy weekday after shopping the interesting shops surrounding the restaurant.\n\nWe were warmly greeted and seated by the window. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. We both ordered the mushroom soup which was very delicious. She was reluctant to try it, but ate every bit of it. The portabello hamburgers were melt-in-your mouth superb! Super delicious food at a reasonable price. If you love mushrooms, this is the place to go!\n\nAfterwards, we briefly met the cook who was personable and attentive. I wanted to take home a paper menu to dream about my next meal there. This is by far my FAVORITE RESTAURANT! I just wish I lived closer to it, would love to have dinner here..",
"Excellent meal and service. Nice diverse menu. BYOB. Duck Two Ways. And Filet Soufflé special., both were very good.",
"Excellent grilled ceasar salad. Cheesesteak wrap outstanding! Fresh fries and even the grandson liked his homemade pizza they came up with for him.\nService was laid back so be ready to take your time. I can't wait to go back for dinner!",
"The food was excellent. The service was very slow.",
"What a wonderful little place! We snagged an 5:30pm table for two with no reservation (on a Friday night) right before the placed filled up. One of the owners was playing hostess for the evening while a waitress was out sick and, even though she was extremely busy, she was an attentive server and took the time to check on us throughout the evening without seeming harried.\n\nThe place is small, and I have bad hearing, but it didn't seem too loud even though it was a full house. We had a nice table tucked away, but the others seems nicely spaced apart for more intimate dining conversation.\n\nWe received a basket of freshly toasted bread with amazing, fresh garlic butter and a chickpea/button mushroom salad. Yum! We got a second basket of bread to finish up all the flavors.\n\nI had the State Street Mushroom soup, which was incredibly flavorful and SO SO SO delicious. When I raved about it to the owner, she took the time to explain how it was made. Can't wait to give it a try in my own kitchen!\n\nI also had the Stuffed Portabello (yummy blue crab with horseradish creme fraiche) from the small plates menu. Between this big portabello, the soup, and the bread, (not to mention a few glasses of red -- gotta love BYOB!), I was stuffed for hours. \n\nMy boyfriend got the Crispy Calamari, which was tender (and included the calamari caps, not just the rings) and the Hunter's Style Chicken with was served with yummy tomatoes and gnocchi-style potato dumplings. It was a large dish and he had to take some of his entree home.\n\nWe were too full for dessert, but I bet it would have been amazing! \n\nI would love to return here for a special dinner. Wish we lived closer!",
"The best place for a classy meal in kennet square. It would hold up any place. Not cheep but you get what you pay for. boyb The The mushroom soup is a dream!",
"Kennett Square is a charming little town and Portabello's is a charming little restauarant in a charming little town. \n\nI started with the portabello fries and moved on to the sesame chicken and cashew salad. The salad felt fresh- no bagged lettuce here- and everything well-prepared. I even ordered some of their homebrewed tea. \n\nI was in and out the door for about $20- about as good a bargain as I'll find in the area!"

"I don't even know where to begin.\n\n1. Outback doesn't take reservations; instead they do \"call ahead\" seating to try to reduce wait time. We arrived and had to wait at least 25 minutes to be seated (even with calling ahead...sigh).\n\n2. The restaurant was extremely loud and very busy (ah yes it was a Friday night...heavy sigh)\n\n3. Our waiter was not too confident (actually it was his second night on the job...really heavy sigh).\n \n4. The wait for our food was more than 30 minutes (hungry sigh).\n\n5. When it finally arrived, the steaks were not cooked the way we had asked them. I asked for medium well and got rare (angry sigh).\n\n6. I wanted something for dessert but ended up wanting to leave because the whole night had been ruined from the exact time I had \"called ahead\" (grumpy sigh).\n\nThanks Outback..next time I will just pay more and go to Sullivan's.",
"Busy, Loud, Long Waits for a Fair Dinner and Service.\n\nFood is prepared well for a seafood, and steak house. The preparation of their steaks is fairly a decent good job for a chain restuarant. Their appetizer are good. Chicken wings are filling, and have their own little way of doing it. Still enjoyable to eat. Their crab/lobster meat is absolutely HUGE ... Its fill with meat and good.\n\nThe honestly do, do an acceptable job with their meals. Its yummy. However, for a 45 minutes to an hour wait, its alright, I'll pass. Always busy with larger groups, and loud/messy kids. (I don't hate them, I just think they are extra loud.) But if you are looking for a place just to eat steak/crabs, and chicken wings with kids and large groups, its the place to be!",
"It's a chain. You kinda know what you're getting into when you go, so no witty observations here. Just the facts. \n\nOur waiter told us he had been at Outback for 5 years, but didn't have the confidence to do ANYTHING without asking our permission, including taking the bread plate after we'd told him 3 different times that we did NOT want any more bread. I understand not wanting to take anything for granted and piss a customer off, but my husband and I both agreed that he was like a puppy dog waiting for approval. The caesar salad tasted like it was soaked in a fishtank with anchovies and then had black pepper poured on it to remove some of the moisture.\n\nWe heard quite a few servers, including ours, describing in detail what to expect for each steak order. My husband got the prime rib and I ordered the filet, at the suggestion of the waiter who stated that the difference between the Outback Special and the Filet was definitely noticeable. After all, it was our 8 month wedding anniversary! My husband's prime rib was fine, but had NO rub or spices around the outside, which I think anyone who has had prime rib can attest is the best part. My medium-well steak that I was told would have a strip of pink through the middle was almost charred and had one tiny bit of pink right in the middle if you searched really hard. And by the middle I mean the COMPLETE middle, not the middle of each strip that I cut.\n\nIn all, it was alright. I'm not saying I'd never go there again. But it left a lot to be desired.",
"A solid 3 stars. We were a party of 4. Called ahead for a 5 pm reservation on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. We were seated immediately upon arrival. The restaurant did not seem busy at all, although there were lots of cars in the parking lot. We did not get a booth, but we didn't care enough to ask for one. Our waitress was very nice, brought bread immediately (and two loafs since we were a party of 4 - very appreciated). She asked if we wanted any starters so she can put them in immediately.\n\nApps:\nWe ordered the Bloom'n Onion as an app. and also got a ranch dipping sauce on the side. The Bloom'n Onion was OK... very oily and the breading fell off easily from the onion. The dip that comes with was not particularly tasty as it was heavy on the horseradish, but the ranch dressing (which was a bit spicy because they add pepper) was a better dip. The app came out really quickly, which was nice. \n\nEntrees:\nFilet Tenderloin & Stuffed Shrimp: The shrimp were REALLY bad... overly greasy, tasteless, and the lemon butter sauce was just not good. I'm told the slow-roasted filet tenderloin was pretty good, paired with the au jus sauce on the side (it doesn't automatically come with).\n\nRibeye: We ordered it medium-rare and it came out properly cooked. Got the green beans on the side, and they brought out a lot of them! I was told they were really tender and well cooked. Got a salad for the second side, and damn that looked like a nice, fresh house salad. \n\nNew York Strip: Asked for it medium-rare and it was perfectly cooked (red in the middle, pink for the rest of it). The texture of the meat, however, was disappointing since the quality was obviously not there. The garlic mashed potatoes on the side were very good, but the fries were unfortunately undercooked and almost inedible.\n\nThe server was really the highlight of the meal. She was fast, efficient, nice, and very accommodating (brought out the side of ranch dip, exchanged the stuffed shrimp for one with the sauce on the side).\n\nOverall, the food was a 2.5 but the service deserved 4 stars.",
"Tonight my grandmother and sister took me here for my birthday dinner.\n\nAlthough we got there around 8:30 and we were seated right away, no one came to take our drink order or greet us for about 15 min or so. I mentioned that the other Outback I usually go to has better service and we would have had our drinks by that time as a server passed by. \n\nA few minutes later, a server, Dave, came over to introduce himself and apologize for the wait; apparently there was a problem that had caused our prolonged wait. Plus half way through the meal the manager came over and apologized as well; he offered us free dessert and a $25 gift card for our trouble. \n\nAll the food was average: my salad was fine, my shrimp were okay, but my broccoli was slightly overcooked. My sister only had a salad. My grandmother said her steak and lobster platter was great.\n\nThe service was good after I made my complaint. Our server, Dave, was extremely attentive; my glass was never below half, plus he was very polite to begin with. Plus, I can't complain about how the manager handled the issue of us being ignored for so long.\n\nI guess I'll be back to use my gift card and see if round 2 is any better!",
"I realize that I've written a number of reviews of chain restaurants starting with a standard hedge: \"While I generally don't go to chain restaurants...\" I've opted not to start this review that way, as it appears that, by number of times I've written that, perhaps I do go to chain restaurants. \n\nAnyway, while the reviews of this Outback tell a different story, I have to say that I had a good experience there last night. We walked in at a busy time and found two adjacent seats at the bar. We ordered dinner, and it came out to the bar quickly and was very good. My prime rib was cooked well, and my wife enjoyed her Outback Special (that sounds like a euphemism).\n\nI thought the pacing of the food was exceptionally good. An oft-overlooked facet of dining out, pacing of food deliveries from the time the order is placed is essential. We didn't wait too long for our salads, and our entrees came out a few minutes after our salad plates were taken perfect. If I have one pet peeve when it comes to restaurants, it's when this pacing is off. Nice work, Outback.\n\nMy only disappointment was the beer selection. I feel like it should be standard these days to carry beers that aren't from huge breweries--it's just good form to carry some local beers. While I really wanted some Victory or Yard's, I ended up with the closest thing they had: Yuengling. \n\nAnyway, now that we're established that I do, in fact, go to chain restaurants, and that this experience was not bad, perhaps I'll be back...perhaps...",
"i just have to say, that while its a chain, this Outback not only has consistently good food (my steaks are ALWAYS cooked to my liking), but THE best service you will ever get. \ni almost always sit in a booth near the bar, and maybe i get lucky with my waiters, but it is worth every penny of the 30% tip i will leave. \n\nthis place will also never leave you wanting more bread, get like 3 loafs and then just take your dinner home. trust me.",
"Never had a good steak from here but the bloomin onion and bloomin burger make it worth the trip. The bloomin onion is big so it's probably the perfect size for a group of 4, but if it's only two of you it may be a little too much with a salad, bread, and entree. They should offer a mini half bloomin onion then I'd order one each time. And since I get the bloomin burger (burger, bloomin onion petals, spicy bloom sauce, amer, tom, let) it would be a little redundant getting the burger and the onion. \n\nThey also have awesome salad dressings. My favorite is the blue cheese - creamy w/ large chunks of bc.",
"DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!!\n\nThis has to be the worst Outback I ever visited. The service was lousy, even had the server spill a drink on me. The blooming onion was under-cooked, which was something I've never seen before. And if that wasn't bad enough, the steak was overcooked. I don't know what is wrong with this store, but they definitely have issues.",
"Called ahead for a Saturday 8:30 dinner for two. Didn't have to wait, actually wasn't all that busy, probably didn't need the call ahead, but always do it at Outback.\n\nWings are awesome here, some of my favorite! Came out fast and hot and seasoned great.\n\nPrime Rib sucked, but only because all they had at that time was well or med well. I love the Prime Rib at Outback, I should have just went with a regular steak when the server told me what was left. So that's really my fault, but now I've learned my lesson.\n\nDrinks came out pretty quick too. Server was on point with clearing dishes and refilling drinks.\n\nAll in all if you want good consistent Outback food that one was fine. However I wouldn't wait over 45 minutes if there was a wait."

"Great food. Cool atmosphere. A real plus to university. The protestors are a joke and making something out of a non issue.",
"Illegal Petes is exactly what university needed! Thank you for making your way down here with the amazing happy hour deals and queso smothered burritos! If you haven't been here you need to make it, great beer selection and great margaritas as well!",
"Had the absolute best experience at Illegal Pete's this afternoon, and I recommend that everyone go check it out. The food was amazing, margaritas and drinks were arguably some of the best I've had in Tucson, and the service was flawless. I am so happy to see this new addition to University, and I can't wait to be a regular here. Thank you Illegal Pete's staff, I already love you all",
"If chipotle is your go to place, prepare to change your habits. Illegal Petes is a fresh take on the fast casual Mexican food restaurant with more selections including bowls, burritos, tacos, quesadillas, QUESO, and chili. The meat is your standard selection of carne asada, chicken, carnitas, and two different vegetarian options. The salsa selection is superb: verde was delicious, corn was sweet and full of cilantro, and the pico was well balanced. The guac is simple and delicious. Definitely make sure to try the queso, you won't regret it! Once the protestors get over themselves, the atmosphere will be awesome. Bar selection looked extensive, especially the beer section. Happy hour looks promising and the upper deck sure will be cool. Can't wait to try breakfast!!",
"Food was awesome, I'm glad they finally opened and that this prime space on University is being used! Full bar too\n\nIf definitely recommend everyone to check them out.",
"This joint is the adult Chipotle. Music booze and of course that awesome fast burrito you love. Give this place a shot and I'm sure you'll agree it's worth it. I have had the pleasure of enjoying a dried fish taco, a grilled steak burrito (fajita style) and their chips with the delicious Chipotle hot hot sauce. The house Margarita is pleasant and the local tap selection is extensive.",
"Very good service and food! I went there the day after they opened so the line was fairly long but it was definitely worth the wait. I ordered the fish tacos and my boyfriend ordered the green chili burrito. Both tasted very fresh and were very delicious! The pico de gallo tastes like it was made with the freshest ingredients. We will definitely visit again in the near future",
"I was excited for this place to open close to where I work. It is a really cool building and the remodel looks awesome. The food was just ok.. It was not bad, bu nothing special to me. It was fresh and clean tasting, not greasy. Portions were slightly smaller than I was expecting. I will go and give them another try, but wait until the hype dies down.",
"I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars. I admit, I last tried it 8 years ago and hated it, but WOW they have changed for the better! Being from Colorado where this chain is based, when one opened in Tucson, I had to try it!\n\nFull service bar, Chipotle style burrito/taco/quesadilla assembly line, and the BURRITOS ARE CHEAPER THAN CHIPOTLE! I do have to step aside and compliment their service, it was amazing! The employees struck up a conversation with me and went out of their way to be helpful.\n\nI used to be a HUGE Chipotle fan, and I am definitely switching my allegiance to Illegal Petes. Ive already been 8 times!\n\nA lot more toppings and variety than Chipotle, not to mention live music, two full service bars, around 10 beers on tap. Simply incredible! Expect a line and about a 20 minute wait, word is spreading like crazy about how great the food is!",
"Tasty and cheap food and leagues ahead the Chipotle across the street. The ambiance is just as awesome! Two floors of open seating, and a bar on each level!"

"It's Lenten season. Along with giving up cakes, cupcakes, pastries, etc., I've also made a commitment to eating health-IER. Hopefully, this commitment will last longer than 40 days and 40 nights.\nIt's the day after payday and I wanted to treat myself and my altar boy to a good lunch. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that the Mexican joint down the street was packed. Since my co-workers go to Flowing Tide regularly, I suggested that we give it a try.\nI thought the decor was cool. Didn't really feel the effect of being inside a ship or sub, but nonetheless, the portholes were kinda cool. The restaurant was actually bigger than I had expected, and although the parking lot showed otherwise, there were quite a few groups dining in. \nSo.. I chose an apple gorgonzola salad w/ chicken. UGH--I've had a salad everyday this week, but yet on my day to splurge, I still chose a salad. (I guess this Catholic school girl is just trying to be faithful to her Lenten promise?) But really.. I'm not the salad type at all...it was just calling my name. My altar boy chose 2 chicken kabobs w/ the herb rice.\nHallelujah, our food came quickly! I thought my salad was huge! I was already thinking that I'd be taking half of it to go. It had lettuce, green apples, candied pecans, gorgonzola cheese, grilled chicken breast and it was lightly dressed with a red onion vinaigrette. The ingredients were fresh, they meshed well together, and the chicken was moist. I truly.madly.deeply enjoyed my salad; my altar boy also said that he could eat it on a regular basis. Unfortunately, we didn't have any leftovers to take home. \nThe kabobs were good too. They each had chunks of chicken breast, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onions. The herb rice didn't have much flavor, but the Mornay (cheese/butter/cream/calories!) sauce gave the dish extra flavor. Altar boy found the 2 kabobs too filling for lunch though, which is something to think about if you decide to get kabobs for lunch.\nBtw, our server, Tammy, was excellent. She was easy-going, attentive, and engaging. She also got us more information on the Mornay sauce even though we didn't ask for it. \n\nAmen to Flowing Tide Pub 2!",
"Try their fish/chicken tacos. These things are pretty darn good. Friendly service, I live close and I'm on a first name basis with most of the staff. Steer clear of Karaoke nights, way too loud. Great place for lunch or weekend brunch.",
"Thursday night is Ladies Night with $2 Cosmos and $2 Drafts plus $0.50 Panty Undresser Shots (definitely need to try those sometime!) Saturday night is karaoke night.\n\nWe went in for a quick lunch - when I say quick, I mean we had 20 minutes to order, eat, and go. I told our server as soon as she greeted us so she quickly grabbed our drinks, returned to get our order, and had it in well within 5 minutes. Within 10 minutes we had our sandwiches and as soon as the fries were ready, they were brought out. Talk about lightening fast service!!\n\nI ordered the French Dip. The roll was soft and warm, the beef was good (not great), and the au jus was salty, beefy, and hot. I asked for a side of horseradish and sour cream (to make creamy horseradish) which came out with the sandwich, no questions asked. Apparently it is a new addition that you can order sweet potato fries, so I did. They were good sweet potato fries, but more than likely frozen. They came with a chipotle cream sauce which was more of a chipotle mayo, but the flavor combined nicely with the sweet potatoes.\n\nThe Hubby got the Club. I love Club Sandwiches. They are hard to mess up but also hard to make great. Well, I have to say, the Flowing Tide makes a damn good Turkey Club. They were generous with the meats, including the bacon. Talk about the perfect lunch!\n\nOur lunch was $20 and we were in and out in 20 minutes. The food was very good diner food, one of my favorites. And, the ambiance is cool. You walk in and see a big boat, they have portholes around the outside, video poker at the bar, 2 pool tables, a dart board and half a dozen big screens. What more can you ask for?! I'll be back!",
"Great burgers, veggie burgers, and fish tacos. Good service. Feels like an open bar/restaurant, lightly lit, but great food. Lots of TV's for you sports fans. Better atmosphere than Bully's in Galena.",
"These guys issue a lot of great coupons and they're always \"buy 1 entree and 2 drinks and get a second entree of equal or lesser value free\" in the ValPak, driveway coupon cards, etc. These coupons make Flowing Tide a no-brainer choice for dinner on the cheap.\n\nIt's hard for me to pass up the chicken cheesesteak sandwich. Now it's not much of a cheesesteak seeing as how there's no steak at all, but it is served on a French roll with grilled sliced red and green bell peppers and onions with cream cheese, by default. Since I first tried this sandwich at their Mayanne and McCarran location, I've been hooked. At first the cream cheese seemed a bit strange, but after trying it I can't go back. I did once try the beef version, and it was good too, but I like the chicken best.\n\nThe fries are decent steak fries and are well seasoned, but I usually swap them for a side-salad. The honey mustard dressing actually tastes of honey and less of mustard and is really quite good. The ranch and italian dressings are decent, but I'm not a fan of their bleu cheese, because it tastes like it's made with Miracle Whip.\n\nRecently I tried their \"famous\" fish and chips. The fish was excellent quality fish, and the batter was golden beer batter not thickly applied. The tartar sauce was good too, but ultimately the fish was a bit too oily for my taste.\n\nLastly I'll mention the steak sandwich. It's a half inch thick cut of New York steak optionally topped with sauteed mushrooms and onions on a mayo'd French roll. Basic but quite tasty.",
"Good place to hang out with friends. Happy hour is a great deal, and they have two of them! If you're trying to decide between Sierra Gold across the street at this place, choose the Flowing Tide. You'll find a much more friendly crowd, friendly servers and bartenders, and appropriately priced food and drinks.",
"My wife and I love coming here, it is probably our favorite place in Reno. They have great Happy Hours, we have always enjoyed our food, the servers and bar tenders have always been very nice to us. We are so glad to have this Flowing Tide here.",
"I went twice in the span of just over a week. The first time was on a Friday night for Fish and Chips as recommended by a coworker. Pretty good. Good service. Nothing to complain about. \n\nSecond time was for breakfast on Sunday. Here is where I bruise myself from the self inflicted kicks. I have lived just down the street from this place and haven't ever had breakfast here. I've driven past it for lesser places. But no more. This place has it on a number of levels.\n\nThe prices are realistic. Realistic enough to actually get a bloody mary with my breakfast! And hey that is only two bucks? I'll take another cause oooh that was just rightly tasty.\n\nDrats, no hashbrowns. But wait a second....those potatoes are good. I don't know if it's just me or the bloody mary or what but those potatoes were REALLY good!\n\nService was standard, nothing to complain about. Place was clean and I like this one much better than the Northwest location.\n\nI will return...regularly.\nI will recommend and take friends. Such a contrast to a week before when I went to Squeeze In. I fed three of us for the price of just my Omelet at Squeeze In.\n\nHappy Hours 2-6 PM and 10-MIdnight\n50% off Drink Specials\n$2 of wine and other Drinks\n50 Well Drinks\n$6 Appetizers",
"great pub for food and drink. they have two different happy hours, one in the afternoon from 2-6pm and another from 10pm-12am. half priced drinks and $5 full size apps. the food is always delicious and well priced for the portion size. the honey bbq chicken wings are awesome and have an amazing taste and flavor and are plump with plenty of meat. the italian chicken parm melt is one of the best sandwiches i have ever had (ask for an extra side of marinara) and all the burgers and salads are delicious. also, the beer battered french fries are the best in town.\n\nthis would have been 5 stars, but the staff can be a little slow sometimes and they could probably come by your table more often. however, the staff is also very friendly and accomading to make your experience as great as possible.",
"June 24, 2011 Friday - Dinner/Drinks 6:00 PM\nGroup of 8+ people\n\nAtmosphere - 4 stars\nBooze - 5 stars\nFood - 4 start\nService - 4 stars\n\nBackground - A group of us meet up after work for drinks.\n\nAtmosphere - A strip mall bar with a nautical theme. The port hole lights could go, they are not fooling anyone.\n\nBooze - I am a beer guy and love the local & regional stuff, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a popular choice in Reno. It was $2.50 for a 12 oz., a great price during happy hour. They have a good number of beers on tap, what you would expect to find in a Reno bar.\n\nFood (appetizers) - Sweet potatoes fries, I love them, for all I know they are frozen before deep fried but I love them more than French fries. They had a great chipotle dipping sauce for them. Also ordered quesadilla with no meat in them, good but they needed to serve them with flatware as all the sour cream and guacamole need some help getting them onto the slices\n\nService - The service was just there nothing too excite or anything to complain about except for the flatware comment from above."

"Disclaimer: Johnny's Hots was my first 'true' Philly cheesesteak experience as an out-of-towner... came across it online since it got 2006 Philly Best Cheesesteak award so thought it was a good place to start. Yeah I get that tourists and locals have different preferences when it comes to food (especially local specialty foods like cheesesteak) so I won't claim to know what's good and what's not.\n\nWeekday around 1pm, drove up to this corner concrete building and it felt more of like a super small drive-in without the actual \"drive-thru\". The private lot can hold about 4 cars, otherwise it's street parking. Benches line the side of the building & unappealing concrete wall, or you'll have to perch yourself on the numerous SRO counters.\n\nFor $6 straight, got the cheesesteak with everything on it. The meat was decent, but didn't realize it had so much ketchup/mayo and jalapeno. The sauces from the footlong dripped everywhere as I took each bite. Took maybe two minutes from time of order so service was ok.\n\nWhile eating, a steady number of locals seem to come and go... so it definitely appeals to many ppl. It's too bad half my friends who had the same order ended up with upset stomachs later that night... I was fine though.\n\nFood: 3/5\nDecor: 2/5\nService: 3/5\nValue: 4.5/5",
"It doesn't get any better than a hot sausage and fishcake sandwich. Who knew that this was such a delectable pairing of meats? (is fish a meat?) Additionally, Johnny's is right next to Penn Treaty Park so you can enjoy your sandwich while taking in the gentle aromas of the Delaware!\nMy only concern is that I didn't choose the right condiment. I got cocktail sauce which was pretty good, but I'm anxious to try different combinations. \nI bet this place would do a killing if it were open late, but sadly it is only open for breakfast and lunch.",
"Johnny Hots has evolved to great drive in spot on Delaware ave across the road from Penn Treaty Park. I have been going there for years and my favorite sandwich is the Surf -N-Turf combo which is Delicious grilled Fishcake and a grilled Hot Sausage on a roll with sauerkraut and grilled Onions, ketchup and mustard. A real spicy treat!! The Cheesesteaks are great and so far every item I've tried on the menu has been Delicious. The service is fast and friendly, so go get your Hots on!",
"This place has the best hot sausages.\n\nWe got to Johnny Hots around 10:30 in the morning and first ordered a famous Johnny Hots breakfast egg sausage on a roll. Big mistake. It was an ordinary breakfast roll sandwich. Luckily I felt disappointed and decided to order the \"Infamous\" Johnny's Hots sausage. No disappointment there. World's greatest.\n\n\nI first heard of Johnny's Hot through Hollyeats dot com. He rated the cheesesteak with 5 grease stains. I, myself, thought otherwise. The cheesesteak was just OK for me.\n\nIf you ever get a chance to try the sausage, do it.",
"Johnny's is a fun stop with a great drive up feel. Try the Egg and Cheese and Hots (sausage) with fryed onions, for breakfast, it's a eye opener! \nTheir Coffee is pretty bad for a Truck Stop type place but the grub is good stuff !",
"Great hot sausages and hot dogs. Rolls are amazing. Love the hot sausage with cooked onions and ketchup!\n\nGreat staff.",
"Hot sausage fish cake combo on steak roll with spicy mustard and pepper hash. That's livin'. Wish they were open nights and Sundays.",
"My experience at Johnny Hots: I pull up to a tiny little stand off Delaware ave. It's populate with a bunch of guys standing around, mostly cops and construction workers, and a few people who have walked over from nearby. The menu has several sandwich options, but everyone seems to be ordering cheesesteaks and \"the combo.\" I ordered the combo, a hot sausage topped with fishcakes on a white roll. I also got onions, long hots, and spicy mustard. My sandwich came out lightening fast, it was waiting for me even before I could put my change in my wallet.\n\nThe sandwich was good, and I scarfed it down pretty quickly. I didn't love the combination of sausage and fish cakes. The fish cakes have an okay taste, and the texture of scrapple. I did like the sausage, but nothing was amazing here.\n\nBottom Line: It's a good place, but not amazing. If I remember correctly, the hours are only breakfast and lunch during the week, and that makes it hard to eat here. The whole operation is really quick in and out, and it's proximity to 95 could make it a good stop if you needed to grab something before hopping on.",
"Steak, egg and cheese sandwich or a cheesesteak, all I've ever ordered. My amigo swears by the hot sausage, but my stomach won't allow to me eat any hot sausage. \n\nGreat for a quick bite to eat, you'll have your food prepared fresh in under 5 minutes.",
"Every time I go running along Delaware Ave, I have to seriously fight the urge to give up and get a hot combo at Johnny's Hots. The sausage is bursting with flavor and is spicy like a sausage should be. The bun is fresh and is full-bodied enough to withstand all the umph from the sausage. The fish cake on top doesn't look like much, but its salty goodness really drives the whole thing home. One might feel out of place standing in line here if they are not a trucker or other blue collar worker, but this is some real high quality stuff, and they shouldn't get to have ALL the fun.\n\nYou may have a desire to get a cheesesteak here after seeing that Philly Mag rated it the best in the city in 2010. Do not do this unless you enjoy the feeling of disappointment. If you're going to be on Delaware/Columbus anyway, might as well head south and make a stop at John's Roast Pork."

"it is under new management. I ate here a couple of times and i was very happy both times with the service and the food. Jay the owner and his wife were really good people who made me very welcome. Food was excellent and I would definitely recommend you try this restaurant.",
"Aha, I come back for the dinner with my friends. My favor Crispy whole fish and Lobster w. Ginger & Scallion. Yummy! Yummy!!",
"I am usually disappointed when it comes to delivery food but this place changed my mind. First there is something for everyone here as they serve Chinese, Japanese, and Thai cusine which I love. Also as a major plus they do online ordering, which is great if you have a preference for it. Ok, so the food is amazing! I ordered the dragon roll, sweet heart roll, Godzilla roll, eel avocado roll and general chicken with pork fried rice to share for three people. All I can say is that everyone LOVED everything. Nothing was soggy or over sauced and the Godzilla roll arrived warm and deliciously crispy on the outside.The flavors of sushi were well balanced and they gave plenty of soy sauce and white ginger to share. I'm so glad we tried this place and we will be returning again. They also have buy one get one and loads of other coupons, so they are budget friendly. Great food for money.",
"Jay Asian Bistro has delicious sushi, Chinese, and Thai food. Friendly service, fresh food, very clean restaurant, and excellent chefs. We will be back when we travel this way!",
"My go-to for delivery. They have a varied menu, really nice sushi (buy one get one free!), enjoyable lunch specials and really tasty Chinese food. The sushi deal is great, especially when ordering delivery. I have honestly not been disappointed in their food, quality, or service, especially because they have online ordering! I just wish they had a few more sushi rolls available.",
"Good quality Asian food of many styles. Really nice sushi plus the sushi chef made cool pictures on the plate with soy sauce (dragon). Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and reasonable prices!",
"Food was great. Also buy 1 get 1 free rolls. \nNext time in trying the pad Thai. It looked great.",
"No complaints... Trying the pineapple coconut fried rice, hubby is happy with his usual sweet n sour chicken, not too much breaking and crisp! And I have mapo tofu, a lil spicy kick in brown sauce. Nothing fancy but good! Byob is a plus, so bring ur bubbly! Service is great, although it is empty in here tonight, probably due to icy conditions outside! Buy one get one sushi... I will come back to try that! I saw lunch specials and bento boxes on the menu also! No complaints tonight! So a high five it is!!! They even turned up the heat a few notches for us lol!",
"Ordered delievery from here because someone reccommended it, was not impressed. Much better asian food in the area was very disappointed with the drunken noodle.",
"For Thai food, these guys get 4.5 stars. Super good basil fried rice. Pad Thai and curries are all very well executed. \n\nMany Chinese dishes are not too my taste, being too sweet and one dimensional. I will say it is fresh and well prepared. Won ton soup is definitely a standout, though...with the most delicate won ton's around."

"I just noticed this place while I was at the golf shop next door. Decided to give it a try for lunch. \n\nI guess I'm not sure what I was expecting here, but I left a little disappointed. The bread is very good, but other than that they are your average sandwich shop. They do have an option for a green salad with your sandwich combo, which is nice, in place of the standard chips or soup. They have 20 different sandwiches on the menu along with 6 or 7 \"Signature\" sandwiches. Standard sandwich fare, nothing really stands out. We had the Italian and the Reuben. Both were good and the bread was very tasty (and CHEWY), but required a lot of force to bite apart. Don't eat the bread if you have dentures or bad teeth. \n\nIf I go back, which I may, I'll try the soup as I'm betting the bread bowls are tasty. Took 15 or 20 minutes to get our two sandwich order, but I attribute that to them being new.",
"This is a pretty good place. My husband got the French dip and I got the turkey avacado and bacon sandwich. The portions were satisfactory and the bread was very tasty. It's a step above Subway. They have a lot of choices, even for kids.",
"It wasn't bad food, but it certainly wasn't impressive. I'm not saying this because I lived in SF where, amazingly, I almost never purchased sourdough bread (but I do love it). I just thought that the bread was the best part of the sandwich, whereas the meat and veggies didn't really do it for me. And, no offense, but unless the bread is spectacular, I don't care; the meat and veggies make up the \"meat\" of the sandwich, and affects my experience much, much more.\n\nSouring the experience further: it took damn near 15 minutes to make two sandwiches... there were two employees working and NO ONE ELSE in the restaurant. I should say that staff was very friendly. Won't be returning.",
"I visited Boise this past weekend and SFSE was one of the places I consumed food. I came here with my cousin and we ordered sandwiches for our whole family. I forgot what everyone else ordered, but I know what I got: a turkey BLT with avacado. The sandwiches are lovingly prepared by friendly staff who would rather take the extra second to craft your sandwich than to throw together something super fast. I got a hearty amount of meat and avocado/guac which made my eating experience delightful. \nThe shop is clean and quaint with an adorable theme (it helped that I am a Bay Area native). I love the huge san francisco pictures that cover the walls... it really transports you while you munch on that tasty sourdough bread. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming which was the cherry on top of my experience. This place is a great stop for some yummy sandwiches with exquisite service.",
"There are not alot of options around my office for lunch, but this place is one of my favorites. Today I tried the soup and it was amazing. I got the soup and sandwich combo, but the soup was so filing I didn't even need the sandwich. I now have my entire sandwich for dinner tonight. Good prices, friendly service, Excellent bread and perfect for a quick lunch",
"Small little family deli. The sourdough bread was perfect on my french dip. Not my favorite sandwich shop but close to work and better than most local chains. 2 sandwiches and one small soda $17.95. So a bit on the high side for a sandwich place. But very clean, convenient, and really nice people!",
"Ordered a pastrami with coleslaw,it was ok, had better for sure. Also ordered a Reuben, not impressed at all :( ordered it hot,it was cold even after they heated it a second time. Bread was great but sandwiches lacked flavor .",
"My wife and I stumbled upon this wonderful little shop when we where out looking for lunch and it is now going to be a staple for us. I had the open face Italian roast beef (everything on the side) with the mayo spread, it was amazing and to top it off Iver's clam chowder which is a personal favorite. My wife had the turkey avocado BLT. The avocado was ripe, and flavorful, the turkey fresh. The lettuce and tomatoes were \"at the peak\" of their prime, vibrant green, and beautiful red. Over all, both sandwiches were very satisfying, and very, very filling. The owner and his crew were very personable, friendly, and genuinely happy that we decided to visit this amazing little sub shop for the first time. Gotta hand it to you, we WILL recommend this to friends and family, and we WILL be back.",
"I will say, I worked in a sandwich shop through high school and I'm a little tough on the other guys...\n\nNothing to rant and rave about here, but the food is good! I love that the bread is warm when you get your sandwich.. Mmmmm. \n\nIt's a little pricey, but I guess most sandwich places are. The staff was friendly and super helpful with the menu! \n\nI work nearby, so I'm sure I'll be back. But not really top of my list.",
"There seem to be sandwich shops everywhere you turn these days. While Subway has lost a following since bailing on their \"$5.00 Footlong\", Jimmy John's has come forth with good bread and truly FREAKY (IE: dangerous, OMG have you ever seen one of their drivers?) fast- it isn't hard to find some meat and produce slapped between two pieces of bread. HOWEVER.. faster isn't always better.. it's just not. If we slow down for two seconds we MIGHT just find a sandwich that is worth waiting for. San Francisco Sourdough Eatery GIVES us that chance. A franchise, begun in Idaho, is offering Idaho residents some seriously edible NOMS that you really MUST try. \nThis particular location, is in a strip (well not really a strip but a small complex adjacent to Boise Town Center) mall, near Taste of Thai and David's Bridal. A storefront space, you can't help but think it's going to be cold when you walk through the door, but the warmth, and the smell of sourdough goodness that roll over you can almost be compared (in a good way) to that pea soup fog of San Francisco. The space is bright and cheery, with old classics (jazz not oldies!) playing. The menu is easily read (can't miss it on the wall)- and there are choices to meet just about any palate- from the 'basic' Club, to MY favorite the pastrami with coleslaw ON IT. \nI met and spoke with the owners, Mark & Lucille and got the backstory on how they came to be serving up sandwiches in Boise. It's obvious that they are passionate about their work. Unlike most other sandwich options these days, it's not about speed, but about quality. NONE of their meats/produce are pre-cut. There are specifics about baking to sourdough that they refuse to cut corners on. I can see where others have been put off by how long it took them to get there food, all I can do in response to that is point down the road where Subway and other 'get in get out' spaces can be found. While I certainly hope not, this may be a hindrance to longevity for this lovely little sandwich oasis. While there are times when I just want to get food and run, there are also times when I want to slow down and enjoy.. and NOT be at a price sit down eatery. \nGo for the sandwiches, oh and the Greek salad.. (NOMS).. their cookies are a delight too.. you think it's going to be a 'hockey puck' but l like the bread, it's crispy joy joy on the outside followed by soft and almost buttery on the inside. Sit, nosh, enjoy. Remember what it's like to ANTICIPATE and ENJOY food (that doesn't cost $20 a plate!). Mark & Lucille, I wish you and your team great success. Thank you for a bright spot in a local palate of sandwich ho-hum."

"When out with my lahlah and her cousin and we started off ordering the pepperoni stuffed bread sticks. Whew! Idk what's better the smell or the taste of em! They were the bombdiggitty! And u get tons of sauces with me too, I got the meaty marinara and nacho cheese. \n\nWe ordered a 14inch pepperoni pizza, and it came out piping hot. It's definitely foldable pizza. Bend it at the crust, so u can hold it with one hand. #protip. A 14 inch can feed 3 people with a small side.\n\nLove this place, it definitely competes with the one in Brownsburg! The only complaint is the design of the pizza holder, not a big fan.",
"Thought we'd give the new place a try. Been there done that won't go back. Yvette and I ordered an entree sale it was on a small salad plate, the server bought them out before bringing Daves Stromboli, I was in such shock that the salad was so small. We also ordered stuff breadsticks, take a breadstick split it down the middle and stuff cheese in it, and warm but not enough to melt the cheese. We ended up ordering a small pizza, the plates they brought us would have held the pizza. Not impresses",
"Service was terrible! Took 30 minutes, three different people to find wine on the list that they had. Server took drinks for refills and never came back. Pasta chicken was hard and not worth eating. Callzone was mostly bread.",
"First off, are they going through some opening, growing pains? Yep! No denying that but they are quickly fixing the kinks. \n\nSecond, the food is really good. Their pizza is some of, if not the best in Plainfield. Their Stromboli is amazing. The cannoli is done well and their breadsticks are outstanding\n\nGive them a chance and support while they get on their feet. Plainfield needs a spot like this!",
"Had the chicken alfredo. Chicken was diced up and small, no seasoning and the sauce was so bland. The bread they serve with it was fine and their Caesar salad was actually really good.",
"As visitors to town, we found this restaurant with very mixed Yelp reviews and decided it was worth a try. Nonna's has only been opened 10 days and still has some details to work out. However, the food was tasty and the staff was friendly. I think this restaurant had the potential to be a neighborhood favorite!",
"Couldn't tell you how the food was because we never were served any. There were tons of tables open and they sat us right next to where they fill drinks and the entrance to their kitchen. It was so loud we couldn't have a conversation. The waitress was young and couldn't bring the beer and forgot the water. Brought the water after being reminded, but 20 minutes later she said she couldn't find the bartender and can't hear our self think. Threw 3 bucks on the table for my pop and walked out. Bye bye.",
"This new restaurant in Plainfield is a makeover of several other failed restaurants and brew pub. It is a nice venue but could use a few things to improve the experience such as flowers and music for the outdoor seating area. \nService was good and prompt. \nFood was fresh and tasty but not exceptional. I had lasagna and my wife had sea bass on fettuccine with a salad. \nWine served was old and was promptly replaced with a newly opened bottle. Maybe they need to better date and preserve the opened bottles. \nIt was busy and there was a good vibe. \nMenu covered some standard Italian dishes nothing exceptional or unique. \nI would revisit to see how they improve and try their pizza. \nPlainfield really needs a place for good Italian food.",
"The place had only been open for a month. If they want to make it and have returning customers, here are suggestions:\n- Quicker seating at front door (tables available and still took nearly 10 minutes)\n- Appetizers should come out before main course (breadsticks came out one minute before)\n- Accuracy of orders needs to improve (our table and another near us did not get exactly what was ordered - got regular lasagna instead of the special lasagna with ham, calzone missing ingredients)\n- Took quite a while to get orders or of the kitchen and served\nWe really like the Brownsburg location (except for their parking lot) so that alone would bring us back to this location, but not everyone has the same history to give benefit of the doubt.",
"We had 4 meals total and ate zero. Pepperoni stuffed we're pretty good. \n\nOverall the food was low quality and tasted like it was frozen."

"I was really excited to try coZara, the new restaurant that opened alongside Zavino, Shake Shack and Yogorino on Drexel's campus in University City, especially after learning that this restaurant is opened by the owner of Zama in Rittenhouse Square. However, I was sorely disappointed as the food was not particularly up to standards, and not necessarily the most value for money.\n\nGoing for some diversity, my friend and I ordered a total of 7 items to see if this new dining establishment was up to par.\n\n1. Soba sesame salad - decent though, I would have preferred it if the sauce were a little lighter.\n\n2. Okura - as the name goes in the menu, it was nothing more than grilled okra which I felt could have been easily replicated at home. There was not even the slightest bit of seasoning on it to make it special. Definitely not worth the $3 for the 10 pieces of okra.\n\n3. Agedashi tofu - there were 3 tiny little mushrooms in the entire dish. The batter didn't feel the most freshly fried. Combined with the firmer tofu that was used, this left me with feeling that the dish was a little too \"sticky\".\n\n4. Unagi nori - the dish looked aesthetically pleasing. Though, the serving of unagi per piece was really small. The exotic \"persian cucumbers\" had me thinking that they were focusing too much on how interesting the ingredients would be and less on the quality of the food. The unagi was not as soft as I expected it to be for the price I was paying. \n\n5. Niku jaga - probably the best dish of the night. The flavors of the dish were exactly what I expected it to taste like and left me wondering why couldn't the rest of the dishes have been this way too.\n\n6. Kakuni - this was rather disappointing as it looked and sounded extremely promising. The image and taste that comes to me when I hear of soy braised pork shoulder would be one of a piece of meat that literally just melts in your mouth. However, this was quite the contrary. When I took my first bite into it, I was wondering if I had actually bitten into a piece of bone as the piece of meat didn't budge. I then had to take another bite at it along the grains of the meat before it came apart. Even then, it took quite a bit of chewing before it felt soft enough to swallow. On top of that, the sauce was too thick and overpowering - which might have helped to add some flavor to the crispy noodles that came with the dish, though still overly thick in my opinion.\n\n7. Yaki onigiri - this was served to us with compliments of the chef. However, it was too burnt and the smoky taste was too overpowering and left me coughing with each bite into it.\n\n8. Chicken yakitori - the chicken was juicy and tender. However, $4 for two measly pieces of chicken did not make the dish one that was rather value for money.\n\nOn a whole, I was quite disappointed as I was expecting more. Hopefully things improve in the near future as the restaurant is a new one and might still be settling into its place. However, I don't think I'll be returning any time in the near future.",
"I don't like this. I don't like reviewing such a new restaurant so negatively, but if I can prevent just one person from having a bad meal here, I feel I've done my duty. Cozara could be going through growing pains but, if I may speak to the management here...\n\nIf you're going to put the word \"tamago\" on your menu and let people order it, please make sure that you don't give those people a western-style spinach omelette. If there was rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar in this thing, there's no way my taste buds were able to find it. It was unacceptable, especially coming from a competent restauranteur who opened a place with the innovative idea to not offer sushi at a Japanese restaurant. I didn't want to eat it. Get someone on your line who knows what tamago is or change the menu description to say \"totally regular western-style spinach omelette.\"\n\nThe whole squid was tasteless. The fried soft shelled shrimp were drab. The unagi nori is fine. The cod cheek fritter is fine as long as I'm not thinking about how, price-wise, it comes out to about a dollar per marble-sized piece of fish. Thank God Shake Shack is next door. \n\nCozara is expensive, not-filling, and is crushed in flavor and value by nearby competition. Look, it's totally cool that you are trying this no-sushi Japanese restaurant thing, but you have to really take a look at what you're offering and see if this will hold up once the new-restaurant-honeymoon-phase is over. Attentiveness to your customers is key - not once was I asked if everything was alright by a server or manager. Had this question been asked, I would've been happy to give my feedback.\n\nI liked Zama a lot, but once the Zama fan momentum stops filling this place up, you are going to need to evolve. I pray that things get better here. I hope that this is the worst review you ever get. I hope it is all improvement and rising revenues from here on out. I hope that one day you can look upon me with gleeful disdain as Cozara restaurants conquer the continental United States and this review fades as a mere blip in your upward climb. That being said, I really don't think you'll make it unless things change, fast.",
"The good: Just about everything.\nThe waitress was super helpful and showed us how to best order from the menu and gave us a rough idea of how many plates we would probably want to order\nI went with a friend and we each ordered 4 plates and shared so we could try a good variety of the menu. \n1.Gyoza - the dumplings were super crispy on the outside and the filling was delicious, easily some of the best dumplings I've ever had.\n\n2. Soba sesame salad - tasty and a nice lighter compliment to the dumplings we had started with, if I wanted to nitpick I would agree that the sauce could be lighter but really I had no complaints.\n\n3.ZFC - spicy soy fried chicken - really delicious, deep soy and sesame flavor, not particular spicy but so good I really didn't care.\n\n4.Age Harumaki - vegatable spring rolls - nothing earth shattering, they were spring rolls but really tasty spring rolls so no complaints.\n\n5.Brussel Sprouts with cashews and spicy miso - the brussel sprouts had just the right amount of color/char on them and paired well with the cashews, it made a strangely addictive snack food to go with our drinks as we made it through the rest of our meal.\n\n6.Yakionigiri - It was fine? it's a rice ball that's grilled a bit so it's a bit smoky, it was pleasant but not a showstopper on its own, I should have saved some to go with some of our meat dishes.\n\n7.Shio Buta - salt braised pork belly. I happen to love pork dishes. I would cheerfully write poems about this pork belly. So tasty, just the right amount of salt to compliment the fattiness of the pork, the citrus of the ponzu just rounded it out perfectly and it was so very tender. We might have fought a bit over who got the last piece.\n\n8. I can't recall the exact name and it's not on their website menu but the duck breast- my friend has the same feelings about duck that I have about pork and she wasn't disappointed, the skin was crispy which is pretty much what you're hoping for with duck. I stole the last piece in retaliation.\n\nThe bad?? It's a bit pricey which would keep it from being a frequent dining option for full-blown dinner and some may be disappointed with the amount they receive per-plate if they're not accustomed to tapas style dining. That said I can't say that I was disappointed, we had a great experience and I would very much recommend it. Definitely a great option for drinks with friends though you might want to be careful with your ordering if you're not used to how easy it is to get carried away with small plates :)",
"Zama is one of my favorite places for sushi & cooked Japanese food, so I was eager to cross the river & check out CoZara. We splurged for a birthday dinner for two, spending just under $100 on food & booze alone (walking away stuffed & with leftovers), but could have easily pared down our choices for a reasonably priced dinner.\n\nOf the 10+ dishes we tried, the pork gyoza & mushroom wontons with truffle creme were two of our favorites. Portion size varied depending on the dish. The Brussels sprouts with spicy miso & cashews was one of the larger plates, as were the gyoza & wontons with five each. Our waitress, Arhume (pretty sure that's spelled incorrectly), was friendly & personable. She even helped identify which dishes were vegetarian - so many - and modified the soba sesame salad to have the kani on the side. \n\nEasily accessible from Center City, CoZara contributes to Drexel's emerging dining scene. The second floor space boasted additional seating, one semi-private room, one fully enclosed dining room, and a covered outdoor balcony. \n\nWe can't wait to revisit to try more of CoZara's extensive menu.",
"We came here opening night and when I went home to post a review I noticed this page wasn't even here yet. I was going to set one up but it looks like someone was kind enough to get the ball rolling. \n\nIn a word? Awesome. Loved this very much. The staff was DEFINITELY eager to please and very attentive. We started off with the potato wave (some sort of potato crispy thing - lots of it, like a giant potato chip), which was pretty decent though I don't think I'd order it again only because the rest of the menu was a lot more interesting. We also had some sort of fish tails. They gave us two. This place is also small plates, like Tria or some sort of tapas place. If you're down with that and love Japanese food, then this might be your spot.\n\nThe fish tails were good but I wouldn't order these again, either. The sesame soba noodle bowl, however, was phenomenal and I wish I had the recipe. It had in red onion and some other fresh, crispy veggies. I could probably eat this dish every day and be happy. We also shared some mushroom wontons (yum!) and green tea soba noodles (very yum, but not enough!)\n\nWhen I went to the bathroom, I noticed each toilet was in its own little individual stall with the sinks being out in the open. I...I couldn't find the light. I feel as though maybe I had too much mango green tea cocktail (it was just okay, but not ordering it again) or perhaps too much coconut something or other sake (that was awesome, getting this again), but I just couldn't find it. I looked everywhere, I SWEAR. Could. Not. Find. It. So I peed in the dark and it was weird and I'm just glad I could find the toilet paper. Did they forget to put them in when they built the place? I have no idea. Next time I'll be more sober before hitting the potty.\n\nBasically though, go here. It's good!",
"We really loved the mushroom dumplings, pork gyoza, and soba sesame salad.\nHawaiian poke tuna was pretty good, though seared (not raw) tuna wasn't what we expected.\nZFC chicken was just alright, with a too-thick sauce (more like syrup).\nChicken wings were pretty good, came with a dipping sauce that seemed out of place.\nGrilled rice ball was fine, nothing exciting, wouldn't order it again.\nTsukune chicken meatball was good.\nBrussels sprouts had great flavor but needed to be cooked longer, they weren't quite soft enough.\nPork dish (called Kikuchi possibly?) was terrible. We said something to our server, who didn't charge us for it as a result. The piece of pork served to us was 70% pure fat, sitting on crispy noodles with a mass of gloppy sauce in the bottom of the dish and an egg. None of these parts went well together, and it was sorely disappointing, especially since our server had recommended it to us as one of her favorites.\n\nOur server recommended 8-12 dishes for two of us: far too many. The dishes she said were \"about two bites\" were in actuality much larger, i.e. five good-sized dumplings. We had way too much food, and it was too expensive. At around $45 per person without drinks, Cozara was not worth what we spent. \n\nOverall, the environment was nice and the service friendly. Hopefully they work out the kinks, namely how many dishes should be ordered, how much food should be in each dish, the pricing, and the unevenness in the quality of the food.",
"My first ever yelp review, and I wouldn't have done it if it weren't my worst dining experience ever.... Absolute rubbish, stay away if you can.",
"I had heard about this place opening up and that it was tapas style Japanese food, but not sushi. Interesting. \n\nI finally came here for a work dinner on Monday night, I was just planning on stopping by, but the food kept coming and saki kept flowing. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of what they were serving. This is one of those places that you need to be a bit brave and take a chance on eating some shark cartilage... but really I tried the shark cartilage! \n\nSpeaking of the shark cartilage I will start there. I was not a huge fan. The crunchy but still chewy texture was a bit unsettling as well as it being extremely salty. \n\nThe cheese board was pretty good too the middle option on the board, wasabi fig jam was so interesting (in a good way). \n\nThe pork dumplings, edamame, chicken wings, curry cauliflower & sausage, and spicy tuna were all tasty. \n\nI did not try the baby octopus with sausage, but heard from the table that it was good, as was the shrimp. Both of these were not very appetizing to me because they still looked like what they were. No thank you. \n\nTo end on a good note, my top three items...I loved loved loved the scallops. They were amazing!!! I highly recommend ordering this! Also the Lamb Chops - de-lic-ous. Finally, I think it was the Wasabi Shumai - caution these are super spicy! Be prepared to have your sinuses cleared!",
"Really good idea, love small plates & tapas!\n\nWas a little pricey and the small plates where the definition of small.\n\nShio Buta was pretty good.",
"coZara has been open for a short time, now, and I decided to give it a try. There aren't many sit-down restaurants in the Penn campus area, so this was a nice addition. The theme is Japanese food, sans sushi. I thought it was an interesting omission to leave sushi off the menu. Not sure why they decided to do that, since I think it would have been a big seller since there's not much around aside from POD.\n\nI've only been for lunch, but the dinner menu looked interesting. My first visit yielded a Ramen special they had. It was a \"dry\" Ramen, meaning it was tossed in broth and some sauce, but not a soup dish. This featured egg Ramen noodles, green onions, crispy bacon, a soft-poached egg, slivered nori, and a sauce that was a bit broth and a bit bacon grease, from what I could tell. It wasn't a very low-calorie option, that's for sure, but it was very tasty and possibly the best Ramen dish I've ever had. I hope they keep it on the menu. I also tried the gyoza, deep fried, with a sesame soy sauce on the side, and enjoyed them. Nothing earth shattering, but they were good...and you can get them pot-sticker style, or steamed. \n\nMy next visit was a bit more traditionally on the Ramen side, something called Paitan Ramen, which was a pork broth, shoyu (cured) egg, pork belly, and garlic chili oil which I got on the side. It was very good, and a bit lighter than the dry Ramen special. Between the two...I'd take the dry Ramen special they had, hands down, however it was still very good. This time around, I tried the mushroom wontons which are pan-fried. They were good, but a bit mushy inside...basically a mushroom duxelle filling. \n\nOverall, after two visits, I really like the place and hope they keep up the good work. I'm planning to stop in for dinner one evening after work and see what the night shift has to offer. \n\nI did not try any alcohol, but they do have a pretty extensive list that includes sake, beer, wine, and cocktails. A solid performer thus far!"

"There are so many other places to go in Nashville other than the Hard Rock Cafe. Don't go here unless you are on some sort of Hard Rock Cafe quest. I don't recommend it for anyone looking for authentic BBQ or anything more than burgers and fries. The ribs were awful. The service was mediocre at best, and the food was not that good. The interior is like all the other Hard Rock Cafes except for the added prominence of guitar greats like Merle Travis and other country pickin' fools. You will find that parking around this part of Nashville is difficult without having to pay for lot parking.",
"In terms of Hard Rock Cafe's this is a pretty small one. They don't have a lot of room for dining and their bar is kind of squished to one side. In the middle of the restaurant they do have a stage, where I've seen several concerts. What I don't like about it is that you can probably only squeeze 75 people in front of it, comfortably. Then everyone has to move to side, which with it's set up, makes viewing difficult. \n\nThe food is typical Hard Rock food, average. There have been numerous shows I've wanted to see here that I actually considered going to, but I usually don't make it because of parking and the fact that you have to wait in line forever to get a good seat. If you're just in town to see Nashville, I'd pass on this one.",
"Of all the Hard Rocks in my day, lots, this one was A-ok. Not a 2 star, but not much more than a 3. It has been a few years since I went inside, but we came here after a concert. Our main purpose was to get drunk again and this place did that just fine.",
"There's nothing terribly special about the Hard Rock in Nashville. That's not to say that the experience was terrible; I just didn't see what the big deal was. Sure, there was an area where merchandise was sold, but they weren't ramming it down your throats like other campy chains do. It wasn't one of those annoying TGI Friday's experiences where servers wore annoying outfits with \"flair.\" In fact, our server was pleasant, even when he forgot to get drinks for us (despite the lack of customers the night and time we went). My burger and beer were good, and there were no incidents that night to speak of.",
"This cafe is in a decent location downtown but by no means what I would call where the action is at. All the same it fine. Same merchandise you find at any of their other locations except the merchandise will say Nashville on them.",
"Small restaurant .. Although my food was good half of my parties food order was messed up.",
"Waitress was awesome, Donna like her hair. I liked her boobs. Go figure.",
"Just barely ok. Food was bland and not very good.\nService although good was not organized and orders were not right, other peoples dirty dished were left on our table.\n\nI wouldn't rush back there",
"Not at attentive as the other Hard Rock's I have been in. The memoribella is always fun to look at. I love Guitars and they have them all over the walls.",
"We came on halloween and everyone was dressed up really cute. We've also come on a Thursday and had a great waiter... Nixon! Food came out pretty fast, the kitchen didn't cook my fajita thoroughly enough tho and the veggie burger had a weird aftertaste. But our waiter made it a great experience. We'll come again!"

"I've been here a few times when it was eagle and it was very good diner food but kinda an old run down space. It's now star diner and they updated the interior a bit. Not sure if they changed owners or management but for this review I'll assume it's the same. \n\nFood is consistently good diner food. The specials are classic diner and are also good. I'm a big fan of Greek salad at a diner and theirs is top notch. Fries, clubs, eggs, pancakes, etc - all good. \n\nSo good diner and I can't think of any others good like this anywhere close in pa...",
"Where to start with this place. In recent years the once famed eagle diner went down hill and I welcomed the news of the new New Hope Star diner and was eager to try it. Well, let me tell you this shit was next level awful. \n\nI'll begin with the food. My girlfriend and I went there for breakfast this morning and ordered Belgian waffles with bananas and a Swiss cheese and spinach omelet. Simple enough. The waffles my gf ordered tasted like the cook poured an entire bag of mortons salt into the batter, real amateur hour shit. We're talking waffle batter here, how the hell do you screw that up? Bacon tasted like dried up pork rines, and the toast didn't even have or include butter (having that as an option would have been nice). My omelette was ok, honestly was surprised it wasn't radioactive or glowing. \n\nNext the service. Our waitress was as warm as a morgue and she smelled like she served many battles alongside the orcs in middle earth that very morning. Barely asked us if we needed anything and was hard to get a hold of. The other waitress was a one woman shit talking show that looked like she just smoked up a good ol batch of meth for herself and went on a diatribe about how awful the other waitresses are (btw she sucked too). I had to listen to her basically allude to texting a dealer of hers for drugs and then yell at an old couple for asking for warmer coffee. \n\nAll in all I think I would have rather asked the guy who puts the wrong specials for the day on the marque outside and wears a trash bag jump suit to have punched me in the stomach for $25 than ever even think of eating there again. RIP eagle diner.",
"I loved the Eagle Diner especially for breakfast, so was very willing to give the (one) star diner a chance. First we went for breakfast. I ordered egg beaters but received an egg white omelette. When I sent it back, it was returned to me a very odd yellow, almost as if they mixed some eggbeaters in with the previous egg white omelette. It tastes horrible I didn't even eat it. I told the owner as I left and he seemed very unconcerned. Because there are so few family restaurants in the new Hope area we went back and tried again for lunch. My mom had the corned beef and cabbage special and I ordered a chicken salad sandwich. The corned beef was cut in strips like bacon and looked and tasted like leather. When my mom returned it she asked for the other special which was ham. The ham they served her was literally boiled ham lunchmeat on a saucer. My chicken salad sandwich was so bland I didn't even eat it. Again we told the owner as were leaving it was horrible and we would not be back. Again they really didn't seem to care. We're done with the one Star diner. On the upside he has made some nice cosmetic changes to the place. It will be nice when the next owner takes over when he goes out of business. Hopefully they will cook better than now it's a very low bar.",
"Re-named yet again...\"The New Hope Diner\" \nI like this palace. Basic Diner menu, but their food is OUTSTANDING! Better even then many of the restaurants located Down Town",
"Food was not bad but nothing special either--basically just par for the course diner grub. \nHowever what really hurts this place is the service--it is absolutely awful. I've honestly never seen anything like it. An army of buffoons in black polos walking around lost, dazed, and confused. Wrong orders going to tables, people waiting forever for their checks, coffee cups perpetually in the air waiting for refills, and the cacophony of crashing plates in the background as diner's faces stare in despair as their entrees lay on the floor in a mangled gloppy mess. \nYikes.",
"Stay away from this place. I tried breakfast, waffles and sausage, waited 30 minutes during which time waitresses were complaining to chef, \"this isn't even cooked!\", \"I said over easy!, this is just burnt, do it over!\", \"what a disaster!\". Either chef was dead drunk or a 13 year old kid. After 40 minutes of this crap I then hear my order finally yelled at the chef. Paid for coffee and fled.",
"My dinner was one star. Wife's was 3 stars. Taking the average. Dirty in the dining area. My meat was gristly. Service good. Will not return. The old place, the Eagle Diner, was much better. Cleaner, homier decor. That is all.",
"I've been here two time out of desperation for some late night food. n. I'm a local and it's a shame such a prime location and the need for a good diner here is wasted on this place.\n\nI think of all the folks visiting Peddlers Village and New Hope enjoying the beautiful countryside stoping here for a bite to eat and I cringe at what kind of impression it will leave on them. It's so bad I can't believe they are still open. I went there for late nite grub when the first opened as Star Diner. I chalked up the bad service and poor food to the \"getting the kinks worked out\". Well I went back months later to an even worse situation. I'm amazed how I hear the same exact complaints from everyone. \n\nDo yourself a favor. There's a Mc Donald's down the street and compared to the diner it's Le BecFin. \n\nRun , Stay away. Drive right by.",
"Just ate here and what a disaster. Our waitress was Emily...she took our order, served our meal and we didn't see her again until we were more than ready to leave. Never came to ask how we were doing. \n\nWe could have told her my moms eggs were raw in the middle, she had to stir her coffee with a straw and I had to get up and search for our own utensils, ketchup, and napkins. She saw me getting these things...never came over. \n\nMy mom called her over as we were finished and told her that she ordered her toast with no butter and it was saturated and rather than offer to fix this for her she replied \"ok can I get you anything else today?\" with an annoyed look on her face. \n\nI have had my share of crappy jobs, and still have a job today where I make sure the people I see are happy. If she can't do this, then she shouldn't be working with people or earning tips. Working is a privilege denied to many. So many people can't find a job these days that when I see someone take one for granted it really bothers me. \n\nWe will not be back.",
"Cheesesteak is solid! Appreciate how they run this place and it's really clean. I recommend it despite the diner vibe. Food is good."

"First visit was during soft opening so limited menu but it was fabulous!\n\nStarted with Honey Chipotle wings and fried okra. The wings are the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Just a nice easy lingering heat, and we didn't even need the ranch or Bleu cheese sauce. The fried okra was on point. Nice cornbread coating!\nWe got to sample the Biscuits and blueberry jam. Nice touch of black pepper on top and so fluffy inside! \n\nEntrees we tried were the:\nSouthern Fried Chicken BLT. Large nicely battered boneless chicken breast with peppery bacon on a soft bun. \nSpinach, mushroom and roasted red pepper havarti melt. Open-faced veggie sandwich. Hot, cheesy goodness.\nShoo Mercy Cheesy Grill. Whoa! Huge grilled pimento cheese sandwich with fried green tomatoes, smoked ham, peppery bacon and caramelized onions. You'll want an extra napkin. The homemade tomato soup was nice and dip that sandwich in it! \nOnly side we tried was the mac & cheese (and above mentioned fried okra as appetizer). Next time we want to try the smashed sweet potatoes or the Brussel sprouts.\n\nDesserts - we had the brown butter pecan pie with chocolate sauce. All that you want in a pecan pie plus chocolate! \nLeaving the best for last: The banana pudding. Save room for this amazing dessert. The vanilla wafers were like nothing out of a box. Nice slices of banana in a not too sweet custard. Just perfect!\nWe look forward to trying out brunch and dinner soon!",
"The biscuits were hands down the best I have ever eaten. I ate here during a very busy soft open. But the Chicken and Biscuits were very good. The Egg Rolls are very unusual in that they are made with Korean BBQ. \n\nIt is a bit pricey. But good food should cost more. \n\nI recommend anyone to try this restaurant out.",
"I attended tonight's soft opening. It was absolutely an amazing experience! From the warm biscuits and honey to the chicken tacos to the fried shrimp, the food was incredible! \n\nWe were greeted by a friendly host and seated promptly. The atmosphere was warm, the decor was lush, and lighting was cozy. We were waited on quickly and our server was very knowledgable about the menu options. Although it was extremely busy, the staff was quick to meet our every need. \n\nAll in all, it was a wonderful evening, and I'll be happy to return for another meal!",
"When I heard Tupelo Honey Cafe was opening a location just five miles from where I live and work, I was PUMPED. Dan and I ate at the original in Asheville on a trip back in 2013, and I really loved it. I randomly saw something on social media to enter to win tickets to attend a VIP opening event; when I didn't win that, I was given a chance to make a reservation for their limited soft opening.\n\nDisclaimer: Dan and I were given a free meal (minus alcohol and gratuity) from a limited menu as part of the restaurant's soft opening. We were not asked to review our experience in exchange for our meal, and all opinions are my own!\n\nThe restaurant is located in the space on Meridian Blvd. in Cool Springs that used to house Bosco's. The area is a popular place for business travelers and folks who work in Cool Springs, so I think it will do well with the lunchtime crowd, plus weekend family hordes.\n\nThey've definitely transformed the space. It's so much more bright and open than Bosco's was! There's a beautiful bar, and I was impressed by the bar menu... Not only were there a TON of cocktails, but their beer menu (draft, bottle, and can) was extensive. Dan brews beer for a living, so it's not easy for a \"chain\" to get his seal of approval on the beer list... Tupelo Honey not only offered local craft beer, but harder-to-get beers and out-of-state craft too. Very nice!\n\nSince this was the soft opening, our meal was free, minus any booze. I noticed that different tables received different menus, in order to help put the new kitchen and waitstaff through their paces. We had a 12:15pm reservation on a Saturday, so I was a little surprised to receive a brunch menu. But if you know me, you know I will eat breakfast foods to my heart's content no matter the hour.\n\nWe were given one choice of small plate to start; we chose the Appalachian Egg Rolls. I highly recommend these. Filled with pulled pork and pickled onions, I devoured mine; I don't even like eating onions, and I couldn't help myself here. And they were huge. That said, the price ring on these was $11, as much as some entrees, but I'd argue you'd be satisfied to eat 1/2 or even one of these and split the rest.\n\nTheirs are some of my favorite biscuits in the Franklin area. Fresh jam too. Solid, and I didn't leave any crumbs behind.\n\nI chose to have the Tupelo Genuine Country Breakfast, because it seemed pretty classic, and I wanted to try the potato cracklins. The potatoes were amazing. Eggs and bacon were tasty too, but these potatoes are the star of the show. Love.\n\nThey requested that we order different entrees, but that was not an issue given the awesome choices. Dan selected the Southern Fried Chicken BLT. This HUGE sandwich consisted of buttermilk fried chicken breast, maple-peppered bacon, and fixings. He chose macaroni and cheese as his side. HUGE portion sizes, and the bite of mac that I stole was good too. Dan has been disappointed by restaurant mac 'n' cheese in the past, but he really liked this one.\n\nWe also peeked over at the table next to ours, which got a different menu for soft opening, and I definitely saw things that I want to try sometime too!\n\nAnd since a shared dessert was on the menu, we split the delicious banana pudding. I have a feeling we're going to be visiting this place pretty regularly! Can't wait to get back for some more Tupelo Honey. Special thanks to our server, Lucas, who was an excellent guide to the new place.",
"We stopped in last night for dinner and had a great experience. I was impressed with the energy of the staff and the way they seemed to be able to work together so well already after only being open for a few days. We started with the hot pimento cheese appetizer and loved it. We sat at a community table which was lots of fun. I had the trout and my husband had meatloaf. Both were perfectly cooked and very tasty. We also tried the moonshine blueberry frozen drink and the Lil darlin craft beer as a part of their awesome happy hour. Both were delicious. I loved the decor and the energy of this place. I hope that energy stays around and isn't just Because it is new. We stood at the bar while we waited for our table and loves watching the bartenders work. Definitely give this place a try!",
"My wife and I dined at Tupelo Honey Cafe for the first time today. We arrived at 11:00 am without a reservation but were seated within just a few minutes (I would, however, recommend reservations since crowd increased rapidly). Soon after being seated, the manager came over and asked if we would change tables to accommodate a large family, with more than anticipated patrons, next to us. Although not at all expected, he said he would comp our meal for our trouble. My Sweet Potato Pancake with Fried Chicken/Bacon and her Signature Salad/Tomato Soup arrived very quickly and was EXCELLENT (and not because it was free!). In addition, my wife's \"The Queen Mary\" (House-made Bloody Mary mix with roasted yellow tomatoes, garlic, Demitri's Bloody Mary seasoning, lemon juice and your choice of vodka or moonshine. Garnished with lemon, lime, pickled okra, pimento-cheese stuffed olives, grilled shrimp, maple pepper bacon, celery, asparagus, pickled jalapeño, cherry tomato and a lime salt rim) was a special treat. The atmosphere, decor, menu selections and staff service/attitude was the model of how it is supposed to be done. We will be back. We highly recommend...but make a reservation because the word is out!",
"Law have mercy...Fried Green Tomatoes on Grits! Need I say more! Love this place! Love the atmosphere! Love the outdoor seating! Love the happy hour! Love Chaz and his awesome staff! Can't wait to take my friends!",
"Excellent food and excellent service. I came here on Friday night with a party of four with a reservation for 7:00. It was their opening weekend, and the place was packed. I highly recommend doing the online reservation to ensure less waiting. We waited about 10 minutes and then were sat. The atmosphere is really cool inside. It had a traditional feel but also a bit of trendiness. Best of both worlds. Our server was fantastic. He was very welcoming and accommodating and informed us all about the menu and their specialties. The food was excellent. Everything that we had was delicious. The fried chicken with sweet potato pancake, shrimp, shoo grilled cheese, and burger were all wonderful. A trainer came around and ensured that everything was perfect. He then gave us two free desserts for giving him feedback. Pecan Pie and Banana Pudding. Both were great! I will definitely be coming back here. The happy hour looks great too and is M-F until 7. Great addition to the Franklin restaurant scene.",
"Sorry. I'm just not getting it. Went after reading a review from a neighbor we decided to come to celebrate my birthday. A reservation is recommended.\nWe started with the Fried Green hockey pucks on a bed of gelatin like grits and a thick sauce. Great concept but fell short. No flavor. We've been to South City in ATL. Now THOSE are good Fried Green Tomatoes!. \nThe hubs ordered the Shrimp and Grits (like he always does) and claimed them 'ok.' I ordered the meatloaf.\n Pretty sure they keep the slices warmed (baked), on sheets for easy serving which explains why it was ridiculously dried out. The flavor was so so, with the sauce the best part. Pasture raised can mean dry anyway. So combined with overlooked and it was a disappointment. \nSweet potatoes were sweet potatoes. The best part was the Brussels sprout slaw.\nLight and refreshing and (thankfully) sans the dried cranberries that often accompany the pre-packaged mixes. \nThe biscuits were a tad dry until you got to the middle. The preserves were awesome!!\nService was a bit odd in the servers kept trying to take our plates-'can I get this out of your way?' After just setting it down. \nWe eat out a LOT. And we usually select places that execute well for what you pay. With all the people in here and the enthusiasm, it appears popular and maybe they'll get it figured out but I'm.just not feeling it.",
"Sat at the bar for a drink. Bartender was friendly and beer selection was solid. Didn't try the menu as I was only in for a beer, but food looked good."
