"I happened wander in the restaurant on the day of the grand opening. Somehow I didn't know it was grand opening day and I normally try to stay away from brand new restaurants, but as they say... the rest is history. I went around 5PM and it was already busy, so I sat at the bar. I'm really glad I did because there is a happy hour at the bar from 3-7PM with drink specials and half price appetizers. I ordered a Pomegranate Martini and a shrimp appetizer, both were excellent. I will happily order these items again. For the entrée I ordered a Chicken Bryan Pizza which is wood-grilled chicken, sundried tomatoes, goat cheese, fresh basil, drizzled with a lemon butter sauce. The pizza was thin, crispy, fresh, and perfect. \nHere is my hope for this restaurant. I hope the level of service does not diminish once the training days have passed. Yesterday they were over staffed because of it being opening day, and they have experienced workers in from other restaurants around the state training the new workers. It was really nice to see the training in action, and I received excellent service. I'll definitely be going back to try some of the other drink and menu options.",
"Make no mistake about this \"chain\". The Carabaas Family knows how to prepare traditional Italian dishes with a flair of excellence. You can always make this place a fantastic place for an after work event, as well a great family sit down meal or business entertainment meetings. The one thing you will notice when you walk in, there is plenty of friendly and welcoming wait staff, which is probably the reason there wasn't any parking for diners. It's the ONLY reason I gave this location 3 stars. If I were to rate this place strictly on food, it would and always has rated a 4.5 stars!!",
"as a newly opened place I understand it may be appropriate to cut the waitstaff some slack but I had to admit it was amusing to watch people every few minutes wander into my area with a tray of food or dessert with a lost look in their eyes trying to determine to whom they belong. That might have explained the disappearance of the salad that was supposed to accompany my entree that never appeared. That being said, and despite having to go on a safari in search of silverware.. We eventually got our food which was profoundly un inspiring. The fried zucchini was overcooked and greasy. the food was generally underseasoned and bland. Their so called signature chicken marsala lacked any reminders of the wine after which it was named. forgiving the horrid service, I still cant find a reason id want to return. The high prices, modest to small portions and total lack of culinary creativity make this place a waste of time and unless you are starving",
"We went there tonight because we always eat at this restaurant every time we are in Destin,FL .. We really enjoy the great food. Tonight we went and was very disappointed in the Wait Staff (service was SUPER SLOW) \nFood of course was delicious!!! \nTook them over 1 hour for our food to come after I finally went to the HOSTESS to complain. Mind you I already asked the 2 server/wait staff that was handling our table... but never got an answer...The main guy never really did anything... Asked for refill on tea.. Never got it...we didn't get our soup until after 30 minutes. Finally after speaking to the wonderful hostess they called the manager and the wonderful manager name John Thomas... Rushed our meals n took care of us!! Awesome management!! \nI think after a few more weeks they will be better. \n\nI would definitely go back but maybe wait a few weeks for them to get settle into the swing of things. \n\nHad the lobster ravioli --awesome!! Lobster Mac n cheese and chicken Marsala was delicious too!!",
"Just opened about a week. While this chain has a good reputation, this recently opened location does not have their act together.\n\nI ordered Chianti, and was served Estancia. The wine was starting to go bad and I maybe they wanted to get rid of it. The appetizer was good, as was the side salad. Unfortunately, the service was so bad that after 1-3/4 hours the main dish was not ready and I left to go to another restaurant.\n\nMy recommendation is that you wait a month or two and hopefully they will improve their service",
"Had lunch at Carrabbas yesterday and if it weren't for the attentiveness and professionalism of the bartenders we would never return to this establishment. We waited over an hour and a half for food and asked to speak with a manger maybe 20 times during the entire experience, needless to say he never came over. Jen and Marcus handled everything perfectly, which is the only reason I'm rating this place 3 stars. It was happy hour and they kept us entertained and in good spirits while we waited forever to eat. When the food finally arrived everything was delicious. Marcus recommended The Johnny with fettuccine Alfredo and it was excellent. My wife also enjoyed the Johnny Rocco salad. We would definitely dine here regularly once all of the kinks are worked out but management needs to realize that this is New Orleans there are plenty of place to enjoy good food. Take care of your guest.",
"There are still so many kinks to be worked out. This was our second visit and it was worse than our first. After waiting an hour for our food, it arrived ICE cold. \nThe waitress and manager were very nice and understanding. The comped out food and explained their problems. It wasn't the perfect date night I imagined, but we will give them another chance.....in a few months.",
"So my husband and I made the mistake of coming here on Mardi Gras Day. The best thing here was the mozzarella sticks. I ordered chicken soup with spaghetti with a meat sauce and Italian sausage. So my \"chicken soup\" had one tiny piece of chicken... The server asked if I wanted her to bring me more chicken, but given that I had already started my soup I refused. As for my spaghetti, my Puerto Rican Mother in Law can make better spaghetti. I had to ask for more sauce just to get some coverage for all of the pasta they gave me. The picture is AFTER I added more sauce. The server sent the manager over after we paid, and the manager proceeded to ague with me regarding how \"in Italy they don't serve pasta with a lot of sauce so if you want more, you can ask for tons of sauce when you make your order\"... Last time I check Metairie, La was not Italy. Regardless of how old your recipe is (the manager stated that the recipe they use is hundreds of years old) if it sucks it sucks. Don't argue with someone who is showing you how crappy their food looked and that they weren't happy. I am a paying customer, since I wasn't coming in for a free meal, I expect to get my money's worth. Since we didn't, after making me feel like I was a petulant child who just doesn't know good food (the manager stated that they are \"beating the pants off of everyone else out here\") he finally said that we shouldn't pay for something we were unhappy with. While that was kind of him, at the end of the day, I will not back thanks to crappy food and heavy headed treatment. My recommendation: get some better training, better recipes, and better management. When that happens, I will come back.",
"If there were a zero stars I would have selected it. The only redeeming factor to my to-go order just now was that I didn't have to drive back to have the manager refund my money so I guess that is worth one star. \n\nDrive 5 minutes to get there. Wait 20 minutes after the ready time to have them say they are \"fresh out of bread\" (which the manager later confirmed our suspicions of fallacy and said they are not ever out of bread and if so never for more than a couple of minutes bc it only takes 8 minutes to cook). Come home take out the food that cost nearly $40 to have a salad that looks like three pieces of lettuce, a shrimp diavolo, mozzarella marinara , and margherita pizza that are all completely cold. Not even a little warm, barely room temperature. I wish I would have taken a picture of this sad meal.\n\nThe mozzarella sticks were burnt and cold, my traditionally tomato basil pizza had not even a speck of basil, and... cold soggy fried shrimp? Not eating there again. My husband was at least a little subdued after we didnt have to drive back and get a refund. He would rate it a D instead of an F since we didn't actually go in and maybe dine-in is better. Of course, he's not the one who had to re-cook dinner after wanting to have a relaxing evening at home on our one day off. No redemption from that. \n\nBut again, the manager did comp our meal, so thanks. He also offered to make us something else, but three minutes drive or not, I surely didn't want to waste anymore time to be disappointed again. Good Luck Carrabbas! Veterans rent is quite expensive, but you have a chance since you're a chain and people will go in just to try it. And maybe, just maybe the dine is better. But I'm not going to chance it. Worst case scenario, they can use that location as a tax write off if they keep having to refund people's meals.",
"Be careful with the drinks... Sangria is more like koolaid and the wine was going bad."

"We just tried Las Margaritas for lunch today. They moved into where Rotolo's used to be. It's a very colorful and lively place, as you would expect a Mexican restaurant to be. They have seating both upstairs and downstairs. We arrived just before the lunch crowd.\n\nThe staff is very friendly and attentive. The menu is fairly large. They provide you with free chips and salsa. I got the Chicken Quesadilla lunch plate and my co-worker got the Taco Salad. Both were good.\n\nIt's a good place to go for a work lunch. They get your food to you pretty quick. We will definitely be back.",
"Service was great and the food was too. Nice to have traditional Mexican restaurant in this area.",
"love the renovated patio area, great break from the hustle and bustle of down town. the inside is also re-decorated and the music is great. \nI went both for lunch and happy hour. \nat lunch, we were able to get our food quickly and get back to work within the hour. the staff is very friendly and the menu is actually quite large, as are the portions. I got the steak fajitas and had leftovers for a second meal. \nfor happy hour, their margaritas are great, I got the strawberry flavored frozen margaritas and loved it! will definitely be going back. highly recommend it!",
"Excellent food selection. Excellent food portions. Good service. Close to hotel and good pricing. TVs and margaritas.",
"We had only an hour for lunch and decided to eat here. Service was friendly, fast, and efficient. The place reminds me of Tex-Mex restaurants. I ordered the Carne Asada that was cook to order. The portion size is great for two people. My lunch companion ordered the chicken chimichanga. The chicken was juicy, finely shredded and season to perfection. It is very rare to find chicken as delicious as this place serves. From the moment we sat until we got up to leave, only 35 minutes had passed. This is a great lunch spot if you work in the surrounding area. The place is also covered with big screen tvs. It will be perfect during football season. I will definitely be back and dine in their lovely patio!",
"Great little place to eat , great atmosphere!\nTry the Chorizo Fondeaux and the Cheezie Bean dip for starters!\nWe decided that the medium sized margaritas are the best .The waiter was super friendly and the courtyard is nice ! There were 6 of us and no complaints !!",
"The margaritas were very sweet so be prepared. The appetizers we had were pretty good. I'd go back to try a full meal and order a beer!",
"PRO TIP:\nKEEP STEPPIN', IT'S JUST 2 MORE BLOCKS TO JUAN'S\n- I got no buzz off the $11 medium margarita (from a mix?)\n- The bitter chips were burned (see pic)\n- The queso was runny with no spice\n- The sour cream was the best item on the sampler plate\n- The jalapeno popper tasted like soured sox (I 86'd mine)\n- The quesadilla was just ground beef in a tortilla (see pic).\n\nBAD FOOD PRICED ABOUT 1/3 ABOVE MARKET:\n- Juan's steak nachos $8, Las Margaritas $11\n- Juan's chicken quesadilla $7.75, Las Margaritas $10\n- Juan's steak burrito $9.50, Las Margaritas $12.\n\nCOULD THIS BE THE WORST MEXICAN FOOD IN TOWN?",
"Food was great. I order the fajitas and the came out in a timely manner. Great place for a lunch time get away.",
"Newer place; we really enjoyed it! Came with the kids, and the experience was great for all of us. Salsa and queso are excellent. Cowboy soup and enchilada plates both very good. Would certainly come again!"

"Mojitos, on the corner of Esplanade & Frenchmen, between the old Ruby Red's & the Firehouse, across from the US Mint, is now open. \n\nTraditional, open dining, big ceiling fans, quiet decor, eclectic Caribbean-meets-South Louisiana menu: Mojitos is an oasis of quiet in a very hectic neighborhood.\n\nIndoor & outdoor patio bars, full cocktail menu, & favorite cold beers.\n\nWe \"accidented into\" the trial run on Saturday and went back on Sunday.\n\nLarge commercial parking lot on Elysian Fields side of the block. This is a good spot to meet for forays into the French Quarter, French Market, or Marigny.\n\nExpect 3 star rating to become 4 star when kinks are worked out.\nLocal owners & chef. Great new place. \n\nRick\nNew Orleans",
"Compared to some other reviews, I actually had an ok experience. I do agree that the prices are pretty expensive, but what do you expect in the French Quarter? The wait-staff and owner were really nice and made some ok recommendations for us for food. I definitely had some better New Orleans food during my Mardi Gras stay, but I do recommend their soft shell crab po boy. YUM. Plus, you have your pick of outdoor and indoor.",
"I stumbled upon Mojito's while walking home from bars on Frenchman street along on the Saturday night of my stay in New Orleans. It was exactly what I'd been looking for! Beautiful courtyard on a gorgeous spring night, friendly enthusiastic crowd, live music that felt like New Orleans (Frenchman Street was full of DJ's that night), and fun cocktails! \n\nI sat for about an hour and took it all in while drinking a Mr. Funk (which was delicious). This place has the perfect vibe for a nice warm night.",
"I was staying a week in Marigny near the French quarter and just walked in off the street. The manager James was amazing and very helpful. The chef, Richard, suggested the grits ( which I usually don't like) so he brought us out two bowls to try ( for free). A-mazing. \n\nWe ordered Breakfast Ya Ya and the crayfish omelet with bloody marys. The food was perfect and drinks strong. They put pickled greenbeans instead of celery which was really unique. \n\nThe service was attentive without being suffocating and I am definitely coming back before we leave.",
"Many restaurants have opened, struggled, and closed at this location. Will Mojitos be joining that list?\n\nFirst, it's pricey. For me, spending good money on good food is a pleasure, but as several other reviews have pointed out, that's not what you get here. \n\nI won't comment much on my first two experiences - the restaurant had recently opened, and was having problems with staff and stocking the items on their menu (which is fine if the server points it out in advance, and annoying when you find something isn't available after you order it and wait ten minutes, and especially irksome when the same thing happens with your second-choice dish).\n\nSo I waited several weeks and returned, hoping to really like the place. After all, they have a wonderful courtyard, and a great location - summer's coming, and dining outside is so nice.\n\nUnfortunately, I just cannot recommend the food. For breakfast, we had the Crawfish Omelet, which was overpowered by an unfortunate fishiness in the crawfish. Their basic breakfast (eggs, grits, sausage) was forgettable. For dinner, we've had the Macaroni and Cheese Pie: again, that strong fishy taste (from the lobster, ?) overpowered the rather bland cheese sauce. The Jerk Chicken Pasta - unmemorable. But most disappointing, the Shrimp Ya-Ya, which was a dish that made Mojito's predecessor worth a visit, was just ... well, gross, as my Louisiana-native diner partner put it.\n\nI will give Mojitos 4 stars for one thing: the maque choux that came with the Mac & Cheese Pie was truly yummy - I abandoned the entree and finished the corn, wishing I'd had more.\n\nMojitos may very well make it. Their reviews from out-of-towners have been mostly positive, and the jazz music plus fantastic courtyard is sure to be a draw as summer descends. I just don't forsee their building a solid base of local regulars with this menu.",
"Met some friends for drinks here last Saturday and had a great time! They have a very nice outside patio with full bar. The bar tenders were quick to serve and really nice. I didn't order any food so I can't comment too much but I did try a grit dish my friend ordered and it was very good. \nWould definitely go back again.",
"6 of us were visiting last weekend from San Francisco, New York & Ft Lauderdale. We were without reservations on Saturday night, the places we knew were full at 8pm and we happened upon Mojitos on Frenchmen Street. It has a wonderful courtyard, friendly staff, tasty small (and large)plates, a happening outside bar and, on this particular night, a 8 piece band with 4 horns, 2 guitars, a wild keyboardist and a great drummer.\nThe owners were present, everyone was attentive--Get In There!!",
"I couldn't be more happy that this gem at the top of Frenchman street has finally found it's mojo. The gorgeous courtyard now has live music nightly with an unpretentious atmosphere unlike most of the courtyard places in the FQ. A perfect place to sit and chill out with a cocktail. The menu is just as inviting and tasty. The shrimp ya ya and the breakfast ya ya are two of my favorites. The duck is also perfect and served with a side of mashed sweet potatoes and corn maque choux, my belly couldn't have been happier. (yes I like this place so much I've now eaten there several times). The prices are well within reason as most other places at this price point will give you a nice large helping of the same old tired fried food, that frankly I think as locals we have all grown more than tired of. I'll be back to this place many more times and recommend it to my friends as well.",
"We have been here numerous times since opening and haven't had a bad experience yet.\nThe only problem is lack of parking, but, they will let one take a bike into the back of the patio by the restrooms.\nI always inquire whether the item I am considering is LOUISIANA or Gulf of Mexico seafood from nearby; if not, I pass it up. These guys will tell the truth, unlike many other FQ area eateries.\nBetween the nice partially-covered patio area and the ability to sit inside and watch the French Quarter across the street, this is a relaxing pit-stop with very, very good cocktails.\nIt is nice to see some locals eateries making a comebck in the tourist areas of town.\nIn ANY establishment, if you feel that you have been ignored or mistreated; ask for the manager or chef RIGHT THEN. Most want to know and will correct the situation promptly. \nAll of these places have problems with unwanted non-customer visitors who just want to hear the music or use the restrooms. They certainly don't intend to insult locals or regulars.\nRick",
"DISGUSTING food and bad service. 4 of us walked in around 10pm on cinco de mayo, and despite open tables, were not greeted or seated for about 10 minutes. There were only 3 employees circulating the floor; which you would think they would staff more heavily considering they are a latin restaurant in a trendy neighborhood during a Latin holiday- and it's a sizable dining area to begin with. They were only serving their small plates, half of which they were out of, and it took over 30 minutes for 4 appetizers to come out. They ran out of margaritas (no patron, no citronage/grand marnier)- at 10pm on cinco- I can forgive all of this, but the food was THE WORST. I have had better deviled eggs from my local grocery store's deli counter. They had a musty, stale taste and a \"skin\" on top as if they'd been sitting out for a while. The grits were the instant \"just add water and microwave\" kind, with only 6 (yes, we counted) small (51-60 size, yes baby I make my own groceries and I only buy that exact size to put into my gumbo); and some weren't deveined. I had to send the calamari back. I never send food back, I used to wait tables and I'm really lenient and sympathetic about minor flaws with my food. The calamari were a purplish-brown color and heavily crusted with course white grainy stuff (my guess would have been either those insta-grits or wheat germ). Incredibly shriveled and overcooked and inedibly chewy (the two of us brave enough to try it spat it out after chewing and chewing and chewing). I had to politely send it back; our waitress apologized and told me that the kitchen had ran out of flour and that I wasn't the first to send it back. Now, as a former waitress myself, I would have warned my tables that ordered the calamari of this huge issue and saved everybody (myself, my guest, and the fry chef) the trouble. And the pork picadillo plate was a fried corn tortilla spread with bland black beans, pork braised in a sweet enchilada sauce, and wayyyyyy to much salty salty cotija/queso fresco cheese. Once you scraped off the thick cap of cheese, it was edible but still had a slightly \"canned\" flavor to it. I will never go back and eat there, it was the most disgraceful food I've ever had in my 25 years of living in New Orleans. I may, however, get a mojito from there and hang out on the patio and roll with the great live music."

"This place just opened, so I thought I'd give it a try. It used to be On The Border, and they did a decent job renovating. I sat at the bar, where I noticed about 20 beers on tap.\n\nMenu was limited but varied. I ordered a prime rib sandwich with salad instead of fries. The salad was $2.00 extra as a substitute for the fries. I should've stuck with the fries. The sandwich and salad arrived with good presentation, but I noticed there wasn't much meat. There was a piece of bread under the salad to give it the illusion that it was bigger. \n\nEverything tasted very good. A wonderful blend of flavors, but the serving sizes were too small for the prices, including the beer.\n\nService was fair, but it's new, so give them some time for to get on their feet.\n\nI'm not going to say I won't give it another try at a later date, but I will go knowing that the prices are too high for the serving size and a minimally renovated Mexican restaurant.",
"My husband and I were headed to Chili's, when we noticed that Barrel 55 had just opened, so we decided to give the new place a try. The interior of the restaurant has been transformed from a Mexican restaurant. It was well lit, and quite comfortable. We were their first customers of the day, so no waiting, we were shown directly to a table. We couldn't have asked for better service! Every need we had was met almost before we knew we needed it! \n\nThe menu is a little limited, but we found plenty of dishes that sounded great. We finally settled on the beer cheese fondu and the prime rib sandwich with fries to share between the two of us. The fondu was delicious, served with cubes of bread and roasted Brussel sprouts. The good stout cheese held up to the Brussel sprouts, and was very flavorful. The sandwich was very good, moist flavorful thinly sliced prime rib, covered with caramelized onions and au jus for dipping. I thought the flavor was very good, but the little condiment cup of au jus was way to small to try to dip the sandwich in. We suggested they look at a different container for their au jus. But the fries were wonderful! I don't eat fries often, so I consider them a treat! Barrel 55's fries are real potatoes, well seasoned and cooked just right! My only disappointment was they didn't offer fry sauce to go with them! Our server immediately promised to go make some for me, but alas...the kitchen didn't have any mayo. I'm not sure how they prepare a burger without mayo, but I'm sure I'll find out eventually! \n\nI have to say, we definitely enjoyed our meal and will go back for the prime rib sandwich, I loved those caramelized onions! Our iced tea glasses never ran dry, and our server was attentive, but not annoying. \n\nI suggest you give Barrel 55 a try, I hope it will be successful and be around for a long time! It is a welcome change from the big chain restaurants.",
"Good: great beer selection and nice bar area along with outdoor seating.\n\nBad: My wife and I wife decide to try this place on a Friday night about 5:00 pm. We sat in the bar and were greeted by a nice server. She informed us they were out of the artichoke appetizer, finger steak appetizer and something else. Thought it was weird to be out of three items on the appetizer menu for such a new restaurant at 5:00 pm on a Friday. We ordered a couple beers and the fondue which was suppose to come out with bread and grilled Brussels sprouts. When it arrived, fondue was cold and no Brussels sprouts. When I mentioned it, the server checked and came back to tell us they also ran out of Brussels sprouts. Odd this wasn't mention before the dish was served? I didn't ask, but was expecting a discount on the appetizer, but none was given. Not sure if we will give this place a second try.",
"Probably not going back. I was a little hesitant to go here with my family as it is new and I have not heard a lot about this place. Here is my breakdown: service 5 stars, food 1 star, drink selection 2 stars. The wait staff was very friendly and prompt. The menu looked appealing, but I would not bring kids there as it didn't offer a lot for my teenagers. They offered a good selection of beers, but there wine list was a bit weak in my opinion. We ordered the prime rib, tai chili wings, and flatbread Classico. The flatbread was actually quite good just a small portion. The chili wings were a bit spicy, but lacked real flavor, and were way overpriced. The prime rib was ok, but not great. It should have been served with real horseradish with the option of the other sauce. We also ordered a bottle wine. The wine was good, but when the waiter poored my wife's glass he spilled quite a bit onto the table. He apologized but did not offer anything to compensate. Service was still friendly. All in was $105 and disappointed. Sorry but a lot of work needs to be done.",
"A brand new Meridian establishment, Barrel 55 has taken over the old On The Border restaurant. Not only have they remodeled, but they have easily become our go-to spot for draft beers and DELICIOUS, and I mean DELICIOUS food. We sure loved OTB, but boy do we now love B55! \n\nFood: We tried two items on the menu, the Lunch Burger and the Country Salad. We didn't make any modifications and just wanted to see what came out. The burger, as my husband says, is the BEST burger he's had in town. It was thick, prepared the way he likes it, and the bun was so fluffy and good. The fries alongside it were seasoned perfectly. Yum! I had the country salad, and it was a good portion with an awesome piece of chicken on top. It felt very healthy since the dressing wasn't too heavy and also had a crunchy crustini underneath... what a surprise for a salad! I would definitely order it again. We also had the Japanese Cotton Cake, which is like a hybrid between cheesecake and angel food cake. It wasn't too heavy and was absolutely delicious! \n\nDrinks: Awesome draft beer and awesome prices! Hard alcohol, ciders, wines... they have everything. \n\nAtmosphere: It no longer feels like OTB in there. They've made it wood-y and black, making it feel like a neighborhood brew-house. Their patio was our all-time favorite, so to get to enjoy it again as a new restaurant is a true treat. \n\nService: They've only been open a week, so we won't cause too much of a fuss, though the service was a little slow. However, we went during lunch so they did seem short-staffed. I'm sure it's better at busier times! \n\nHappy Hour Offerings: Sun - Thurs 4-6... drink specials, $2 off all appetizers and other food specials, too! \n\nHealthy Hack: Try the country salad or ask for the soup of the day! \n\nTips: Ask the server for their preference... they have such a fun and interesting menu!",
"First time here. Brew pub atmosphere, relaxed environment. Great selection of beer and wines. My wife had a Bison burger, a little dry but delicious. I had the smoked prime rib which was excellent! It was actually the most tender prime rib I have had and the smokey horseradish sauce greatly complimented the beef.",
"First time going waited 30 minutes on a Friday to sit not bad was good. Took about 7 minutes for someone to approach us at our table. We go to order and first thing he says is that we are all out of the bison Ribs and it was only 630pm and that they are backed up and it would take an 1.5 to see any type of food. He said \nWe will not be returning again. \nWho gives a brand new restaurant 2 chef in vacation at the same time.",
"Stopped by on a Sunday around 1:15pm. Not a busy time. Bartender took our order for drinks. We then had to wait around 15 minutes for him to come back and take our order. He was quite engrossed in the volleyball on the TV. Ordered and then took at least 20 minutes for 1 sandwich to to be served. Had the Prime rib sandwich. Meat was VERY smokey and the salad that we substituted for the fries had a large slice of grilled bread under it which presented the salad as bigger than what it actually was. The entire menu was expensive and out of line with other venues we have tried with the same caliber. All in all, very disappointed with the slow service and pricing. Unfortunately, would not recommend when there are great restaurants right down the road in the Village.",
"This place has only been here for two weeks but very good! Buffalo finger steaks were great! Prime rib was perfect, buffalo ribs were great! Roast d salad was very good. There was four of us and we all shared a little bit off each other's plates. Drinks are good and love the setup here. Check this place out definitely!",
"We went there around 6:30 on a Friday night. We seated ourselves in the bar and waited awhile before we were able to put in drink orders. We were told the kitchen was very backed up and that they were out of atleast 7 items on the menu. We had to continously flag our waitress down for refills on our soda for the entire visit. One of these menu items that they were supposedly out of was served an hour later to friends that came in after us, so not sure how that happened, but was disappointed to hear that. The bison burger was great, but the clams we ordered were small and not worth the money. Even though the burger was good I would not go back there until they get their kitchen and wait staff on a better flow to help move dinner along in a timely fashion."

"What a great concept! 38 wines on tap, oh yeah! This is a fantastic spot for those looking to learn/explore the world of wine. They have a very versatile wine list...the staff was very warm and welcoming...eager to share their passion for wine. I'm just hoping this crew opens a location in Houston! Ask for Mike at the bar...friendly and knowledgeable!",
"Wow! I did not expect to like, let alone love Copper Vine. I was a bit skeptical when I heard that it was wine on tap and thought that it would be like WINO, downtown. Cooper Vine is super chill and has a restaurant vibe to it, because it is a restaurant. I went for a work event and we had a private space upstairs. We ended doing a 4 wine flight where our servers brought unmarked bottles to the tables and we had to guess which wine we were consuming. \nHalf glasses start off at $4-$5 and most bottles range from $36-$54 with wines from the east coast to the west coast and your usual South American, European , and South African wines. \nWhat I did not expect was to love the food. It was sooo good. We started off with french fries, deviled eggs and Brussels sprouts, which was absolutely divine. The Brussels are fried then baked and served with grated Parmesan. They were sooo good that you did not need the sauce that accompanied the sprouts. We also had a few different flatbreads which were all delicious! My favorite was the pulled pork flatbread with caramelized onions. \nThe staff all seemed to really enjoy their job and were super helpful and friendly. My group definitely wanted to come back again for brunch, but rest assured the brunch menu will be available within the next couple of weeks and they will be available for brunch on both Saturdays and Sundays. \nIn addition, the bathrooms were clean and I appreciate them providing paper towels instead of a hand dryer.",
"Cool little spot downtown close to the Dome. Great atmosphere with lots of wines on tap, and an amazing junglow courtyard space outside!\n\nService was enthusiastic and friendly on their second night open. We shared a bunch of apps and small plates which were absolutely fantastic, and then ordered two desserts, which were a little disappointing.\n\nI had a wine flight and loved having so many options. The roasted beets were superb, the deviled eggs, divine. Flatbread was basic, but yummy and oysters were good, but pricey at $4 each! Would skip next time. Desserts were a bust. Disappointing. They do have a self-serve popcorn machine with different seasonings: cheddar, kettle corn, asiago pepper and dill.\n\nWould def come back to try a main entree and hang out in that gorgeous courtyard outside dripping with beautiful greenery...",
"We went here before a concert. It was super busy. The service was sort of slow. Lots of confusion with drinks and food. We were dropped food that wasn't ours multiple times while we wait for our own orders. My cocktail was pretty gross. The fig and goat cheese flatbread was very good and so was there flank steak.",
"The service is awesome...staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Go check it out! Tried the deviled eggs...Devine! The fig and goat cheese, serrano and margherita flatbreads were delicious as well.",
"Definitely a spot I will be returning to. It's always nice to find somewhere to sip and chat. Sadly, I was only there for a few glasses of wine and did not get to taste any of the appetizers or meals. The wine... wow. Never would i have thought wine on tap would be a thing but I'm sure glad it is. Very cool idea and definitely trendy. Decor is spot on. Staff is spot on, enthusiastic, friendly, and entertaining. The bartender, JR, definitely kept the bar entertained and lively. He had great suggestions. I tried the Hook & Smith along with the Grenache/ Cinsault; it had a nice sweet taste to it. Full bottles for happy hour came out to only $20; that's a pretty nice price for good tasting wine. Win win situation!",
"New and cool spot in downtown New Orleans!\nGreat variety of wines and local beers. Great food menu. We had rosé and white wines, ordered a burger and a club sandwich. Everything was made to perfection! Our server Paul was AMAZING! He made our experience even more enjoyable ! Favorite new spot !",
"Love! Love! Love!! Decor (check) wine (check$ Gender neutral bathroom (check) customer service (check) \n\nCopper vine is a must do for groups and friends from out of town! Came we saw we conquered. Order multiple 2.5 pours and make your own flight.",
"Don't let the heat deter you from enjoying the outside dinning area, just be aware that once the sun goes down, you won't be able to see your plate. The gender-neutral bathrooms allow for you to step into the 21st century and the decor is detailed and sleek. The option of half or full glass allow for you to choose your own adventure without breaking your pocket. While the service is a little slow the wait staff is very welcoming, attentive and my water glass was never empty. The oldly but goody classic devil eggs are given a New Orleans edge with the accent of crab meat. Short ribs melt in your mouth and cooked to perfection. If you need a change of pace from the same old look for the gem in the CBD.",
"My friends and I had a great meal at Copper Vine. The space is beautifully designed and welcoming. The staff was friendly. They just opened a week ago, and it was evident that they are still working out the kinks in timing as service was a bit slow at times. Still, they were attentive. Additional lighting outside would be great as it was tough to see our food. \n\nWe enjoyed the deviled eggs, duck fat fries, and the Brussels sprouts to start. The sprouts were the star. I had a good soft shell crab special, and my friends sung the praises of the pork belly and short rib. My husband had the gnocchi and it was so good, I ended up having several bites of his. Definitely recommend this dish. \n\nWe loved the variety of wines available on tap and the option of a half glass which enabled us to try a bunch of different types. \n\nBonus points: gender neutral bathrooms and comfortable outdoor seating. \n\nOverall, we had a great time at dinner and would absolutely return!"

"Go here for the wheat germ pancakes served only at breakfast time and enjoy the view at the beginning of East Beach. They serve Peet's coffee as an added bonus. Compact little play area near by just right for 2-4 year olds.\n\nOtherwise its just your average greasy spoon serving up hamburgers and hot dogs at lunch time.",
"Four words: Strawberry wheat germ pancakes. Oh, and the view! Perfect spot for a relaxing weekend breakfast. It is VERY overpriced, but for being right on the beach, you can't really expect any different. \n\nPS - If you sit outside, watch out for those crazy pigeons.",
"5 stars for the Strawberry Wheat-germ pancakes. 2 stars for the service.\n\n4 stars overall (it's a weighted average).",
"My yelpessors who reviewed this place are both right on and dead wrong. I don't see how you can complain about the service. it is what it is, you order at the counter, sit down and somebody brings you your grub. There is no service to be had. it is one step fancier than a Micky D's.\n\nSecondly, it is not expensive. for my 3-2-1 (3 strawberry wheat germ pancakes, 2 slices of bacon, 1 egg) it was 8.95. For SB standards and being that it is right on the shore, I thought it was a fair price.\n\nThe pancakes were excellent, not dry or cakey at all. I barely used any syrup. The egg and bacon, were, well, eggy and bacony--can't eff that up I hope.\n\nGood on them for the Peets. This totally resolves my dilemma of going to Peets for breakfast and Coffee, or a cafe for the same. I would come back. I would bring friends as it is easier to pay seperately for large groups. Yay, I'm a fan.",
"It's all about the strawberry wheat germ pancakes. Big enough for 2 people. Utterly delicious. Order at the counter. Sit outside and enjoy the great ocean/beach view. Super casual place. Sandy feet, beach attire, and plastic furniture abound. This has been my favorite breakfast place for years -- strictly for the pancakes. Can't speak for anything else on the menu.",
"Ok, so this is our first time in Santa Barbara and we have no idea where to have breakfast.. we're meeting up with an old friend from high school... the type of friend you haven't seen in 20 years, but always remember fondly because of all the fun times.\n\nSo my friend recommends East Beach Grill on the strength of their pancakes alone. Since we LOVE pancakes, it was an easy decision. Not only that, it was like a 5 minute walk from our motel!\n\nWe meet my friend and her lovely daughter at East Beach Grill... what a great view... right on the beach, tons of outdoor seating right on the boardwalk. Great for people watching on a busy beach day.\n\nYou order and pay at the counter and then go sit at your table where the friendly server brings out your meal to you. There was a lot of great pancakes choices.... most with wheat germ which gave the pancakes a nice texture. I chose the strawberry and my wife got her good ole blueberry. We both very much enjoyed our meals. The pancakes came with eggs.\n\nI also ordered a mocha that was decent... typical of a place that doesn't specialize in espresso drinks.\n\nAll in all, this place was a great way to start off our vacation up the coast and spend a little time with my friend. I recommend it to anyone wanting great pancakes. The view and people watching are a bonus!",
"this place is infested with grumpy, illegal mexican females.. the kind of place where they spit and piss in your food. I missed breakfast, so no pancakes for me. The girl taking my order practically threw the change at me. I asked a simple question and she was raising her voice at me. One guy was having a yelling match with another. To add insult to the injury, it had to be the worst steak fajita burrito ever. It had decent amount of meat, but it had nothing but bell pepper. This place ruined my day. The location and the scenery was perfect, though. If you try this place out, make sure to put on a riot gear to fend off the nasty workers... check for boogers on your burgers.",
"Right along Santa Barbara Beach, this place is a perfect spot to sit outside along the sand, get some breakfast and a cup'o'joe, and just relax. The real SB experience here.\n\nThe service here is fast and very friendly. The food here may be simple, but it is done well! Just good stuff in a great place. Good prices too.",
"2 beers, 1 large fries, 1 chz burger = $18\nthe large fries are a tiny serving\nthe burgers patty was thin\nthe tap heiny was cool \nbottled corona.\nawesome location. inches from the sand\n& for that, you get 4 stars!",
"This is one of our favorite breakfast spots, especially with kids. Beach, playground and casual atmosphere make easy with young kids. The food is standard breakfast but we love the blueberry pancakes. Peet's coffee is a plus."

"the atmosphere is exquisite! My cousin turned me into a huge brunch fan, so my expectations have risen. This is definitely cool, intellectual coffee place people claim starbucks to be; i'm definitely glad i was wearing a blazer while I was in there, haha. The coffee was delicious and the food wasn't bad at all (a bit pricey, but you can probably assume that upon walking in). But the real reason to check this place out is the dessert area. I spent a solid 10 minutes just staring at my choices, and i'm sure you will too!",
"Had the potato soup, croissants, rotisserie chicken, and homemade chocolate chip cookies! Yes they were all delicious!",
"Adorable sandwich shop, I always ordered the tuna sandwich and a fruit tart and a sweet tea. You can sit outside on the patio or inside. Very clean and yummy.",
"Great French onion soup, fresh bread, and deserts. Nice ambiance for eating in.",
"Comparing this location to the one in elmwood is night and day and not in a good way. Its always dirty,dusty. The staff seems to be half asleep everytime I go in and the food looks like its been sitting under a heat lamp for hours.",
"I make it a point to get the French country breakfast once a month here. A better ambiance than the Carrollton & St. Charles Ave. location. Plenty of parking, and a slower, more relaxed feel. A pleasant way to start the morning. Their tomato soup is a favorite as is the huge salad with chicken.",
"I just needed a quick little breakfast place by the Metairie work office. \nNothing special. Had the scrambled eggs with bacon. the best part was the croissant with their little cups of jam. Not sure if its homemade jam, but its pretty tasty.",
"Very accommodating staff, and delicious food! What more can you ask for...",
"We always stop at LaMadeleine's for breakfast when we visit family in Kenner.\nThe breakfast croissant is so delicious as was the Strawberry Romanoff. I have also had the yogurt parfait which is full of berries, oatmeal and raisins. It is a meal in itself. They have delicious \"French Roast\" coffee and you can have them toast some of the sliced bread for \"free\". Great atmosphere and always very friendly service.",
"oh mon chérie\n\nStrawberry napoleon, cheesecake, lemon tarts, tortes, fruit tart, croissants, blueberry muffins, and chocolate chip cookies. \n\nI crave your delicate pillows of sugar."

"This place opened less than a week ago, but I already want to be a regular. The fish was fresh and the presentation was excellent. The prices were comparable to other restaurants in the area. The selection of fish was much more varied than the usual suburban sushi eatery. However, a couple of my selections were unavailable. Since they have only just opened, they get a free pass for that. Eventually they will find the right amount of fish to order. \nThe Wasabi Caviar will definitely be on my list for next time - the perfect combination of flavor and spice!\nI would have given them 5 stars if they had nor been out of the uni and sea bass. We ordered a lot of food, including dessert. There were less expensive options, but we wanted to try many new things. \nThis restaurant is a BYOB, and has a large, adjacent parking lot. There is a Wine and Spirits store a few steps away, in case you forget your favorite sake or wine.",
"Beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff & great food! A triple threat! This was our first time here, as it just opened, and I can't wait to go back. I will certainly be a regular customer! We tried the ginger salad, pork gyoza, eel & avocado roll, seafood yaki udon, chicken hibachi with fried rice & the white chocolate raspberry mochi for dessert. Everything was excellent, and the vibe felt as if you were transported out of the shopping center. ABSOLUTELY A MUST TRY!",
"Highly recommended. Great Japanese food with high quality fish. The owner is willing to spend money on getting the best while remain reasonable price. Check this place if you are professional for Japanese food.",
"Nice new addition to Chalfont. Walked down from the office today for lunch. I am pretty sure the owner was our server. Ordered a plate full of Sushi, had some Gyoza, and tried my colleagues Chicken Pad Thai. Everything was fresh and delicious.\n\nThe atmosphere is minimal, but upscale. I thought I was in a Sushi bar in the city, or NY.\n\nBYOB will be nice for that early dinner after work. Come soon and often. We need this place to succeed.\n\nNo. 7 Volcano Roll was just the right amount of spicy. The rest of the Sushi was fresh, and well prepared.",
"I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, which has countless quality Japanese restaurants. Hachi really impressed me. I had the shrimp and veggie tempura, seaweed salad, the chirashi bowl (see the photo), and mochi for desert. Both the quality of the food, the presentation, and the staff were top notch. Probably the best Japanese food option in the area. Keep this place in business, it's a gem. Only thing I would change is the lighting, it felt a little too bright for dinner.",
"Went to the place on Friday night. Crowd of happy people. Do yourself a huge favor and try it. I am telling you, this place is amazing. Presentation and creation are fabulous. Yes, they are better than most Japanese restaurants in NY City because they serve real Japanese food. Happy to finks this place in Chalfont.",
"This restaurant recently opened in the New Britain shopping center and is a couple doors away from Wine and Spirits. It's a good idea to grab a bottle, as this restaurant is BYOB!\n\nThe decor is very simplistic yet aesthetically pleasing and clean. The lighting is nice and bright, which is ideal to me as I want to be able to see my food ... And my dining companion's face! \n\nFor appetizers, definitely order the little neck clam miso soup. It is definitely not your standard boring miso soup. The rich flavors of mushroom and clam puts a bold spin to it, which will be especially satisfying during the cold weather. Get the sakuro steak as well! The presentation of this is pretty cool, as it comes on a sizzling hot stone that will wake up your nose. The spicy tacos were tasty, but I honestly think the proportions of this appetizer should be changed. It felt a bit too heavy. Perhaps if they were to come in a smaller size.. Or contain less fish? Then the dish would be perfect. (I know, I know.. I must be crazy for wanting less food!!)\n\nIf you're thinking about sashimi, go for it. The sashimi here is awesome and fresh. I didn't have to do a sniff test for ammonia. If you like sweet cuts, go for the scallop and clam. Also, try the Kumamoto oyster sampler!\n\nFor a new restaurant, Hachi definitely impresses. Keep up the great work! I'm looking forward to my next visit.",
"Chalfont finally has a really solid restaurant! What a gem this place is.\n\nFirst off, do not be fooled by its location. While it is located in a shopping center, as soon as you walk in the doors you no longer feel like you're in your typical suburban shopping center. It feels much more like an inner city restaurant.\n\nThe decor is simple and chic. The music sets a mood that is both romantic (should that be your intent) and upbeat. The place is spotless - when the staff is not busy they are constantly making sure everything is clean and in order. \n\nAs far as the staff goes, they are incredible. I worked in the food service industry for almost 10 years and I always appreciate attentive service. They are not only knowledgable about the menu and help you decide on what would be best for your particular taste but they're also pleasant and not pushy. \n\nThe food is absolutely on point. My wife and I were recommended the restaurant by two different friends and decided to venture out on a Saturday night. We loved the food and experience so much we showed up the next day for lunch! I expect this to be a common theme for us because the menu offers so many wonderful options that one cannot get bored.\n\nYou can come in and dine an wonderfully presented sushi while friends can enjoy delicious hibachi (not the kind that they make in front of you). The menu is extensive but not overwhelming. Prices are competitive and I would say even possibly on the lower end of things (probably because they don't have a liquor license and don't need to jack up the cost as much as say Ooka). Dinner was served quickly and was delicious. Lunch was no different. For $10 I got teriyaki chicken, pork dumplings, a california roll, tempura veggies, soup, and salad (the Bento Box). Can you beat that? We have not tried the sushi yet but it looks fresh and delicious. The presentations we saw were really well done. Lastly, they make everything (and I mean everything) from scratch and you can tell! They also try to source as much as they can locally which is another plus. Finally, bring your favorite drinks because its also a BYOB!\n\nGreat atmosphere. Attentive service. Delicious, made-from-scratch, authentic Japanese (with a modern twist) food. Great prices. BYOB. This is what makes this spot a true gem.\n\nI cannot say enough good about Hachi. I hope they continue to be successful and that their stay in Chalfont is a permanent one.\n\nWell done.\n\nI highly recommend checking this spot out.",
"First time here. \nSushi was great! I had the sushi and sashimi combo, it was fresh and delicious. The presentation was great! Definitely coming back! Gotta go my dessert is here!... ...",
"Awesome takeout. Plenty of options for everyone in the family. Vegetarian sushi and entrees-- LOVED the roasted beet and avocado roll, and the veggie tempura udon. The grilled broccolini was super flavorful and tasty. All the seafood items ordered looked super fresh. I heard good things about the lemongrass mussel soup, and the shrimp wasabi fried rice.\n\nPortion sizes were good, and many of the entrees came with soup/salad. They were also very accommodating when we asked for modified menu items. \n\nWe will definitely be coming back for more! Especially because of the vegetarian dinner options. Not easy to find in this area."

"Great Thai food. Go to the Siam Cafe on McCall street. There's another in town (near/on Whitebridge), but this one is cheaper, and more authentic (same ownership). Our favorite dishes: duck salad, tiger tears, green curry, spicy eggplant, pad thai, lad na.",
"Oh goodness, I'm following around Emily Y. \n\nWait... I went here with Emily Y. :) \n\nRustic Thai, home styled cooking with decorations laden with country style thai accents. The obligate portrait of the King is present, as well as bamboo structures recalling another time and place.\n\nThe food that we enjoyed on our visit were competently executed, but without any striking highlights. I fear that my palate is becoming increasingly jaded... and nowadays, I'm still looking for that epicurean epiphany of flavour. None here... but I left sated nonetheless.\n\n4/5 particularly with attention to context.",
"Not nearly as good as International Market and Restaurant on Belmont Blvd. Siam Cafe had terrible service at lunch, with only one (fairly crazy) lady waiting on the entire place. I was given the wrong food twice before I got my original order. I was underwhelmed by the flavor and quality of the food. I do not plan to go back. Ferdinand may fear that his palate is becoming jaded, but I am pretty sure that the food was just not that good.",
"My favorite Thai place in the city. It's right off Nolensville Road right next to the aptly named \"Latino Tire\". \n\nThe parking is tight, but the food inside is so good. Nice cute little dining area. Absolutely great Thai food. \n\nOf course I dont know the names of any of the dishes, but the chicken in coconut milk soup (tom cat ka?) is great. As is the chicken with cashew, and a number of other chicken dishes. \n\nDefinitely not a boring thai place. And great service. Good prices. Really enjoying my culinary excursions up and down Nolensville Road.",
"I've been here a couple times, last time I brought my sales team to eat lunch here. Everyone liked it. It wasn't too busy and the food was pretty good according to everybody. My garlic shrimp actually was just okay, but everyone else (there were 8 of us) liked their food. Someone had the red curry duck and I tried it, it was delicious, I should've gotten that dish. The 2 times I've been here it seems I keep ordering the mediocre dishes while everyone else ordered the right ones. Ohh well, I wouldn't knock it, if you want decent authentic thai food. Eat in the restaurant part and order from the menu. I still prefer Thai Taste on Haywood, but this would be 2nd choice of the 2 for lunch near my office. The lady servers are very nice and accommodating.",
"I haven't had a lot of Thai food, but since I love Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese, I figured this place would probably be up my alley. I was right. The dining room at Siam Cafe is pretty sizable, and there are several neat little booths with pillows and cushions perfect for lounging during a casual meal.\n\nOur server was quite a character, and she checked on us and made small talk regularly. I ordered the Pad Thai, which my friend informed me is a relatively simple, traditional dish. It was quite delicious, and the portions are pretty huge, especially considering the less exotic entrees only cost around $7-$10. Fancier items (especially anything containing squid) are quite a bit pricier. My dish had chicken and shrimp (though the shrimp-to-chicken ratio was a little weak) seasoned with a really tasty peanut oil.\n\nThe atmosphere and staff at Siam Cafe are very friendly and informal. It's a nice spot to go with a friend or two, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for large parties. As far as Thai goes, it's probably the best I've had. I'll definitely go back, and I recommend it to anyone with a penchant for Asian food.",
"I'm sorry, but I just don't drink the Cool-Aid when it comes to Siam Cafe. My co-workers told me this was one of the great Thai food places in town and so I let them take me here one day for lunch. While they seemed to like it, I thought it was really bad. The service was just down right TERRIBLE! Two ladies attempted to work the entire dining room, getting food and drink orders completely mixed up the entire time. When the food trickled out to the table it was cold, wrong or both. \n\nAnyway, a week later I took my co-workers to International Market by Belmont, and nobody has been back to Siam since.",
"I love Thai food and though Nashville doesn't offer the best assortment of it I think Siam Cuisine is actually a pretty good deal. Let me start by saying that having spent 3 weeks in Thailand I'm a total Pad Thai snob so I won't say that Siam's is great but it's a good for Nashville. I do, however, love their spring rolls. Their décor is a little cheese ball, but I like cheese ball so dig their attempt at looking Thai. I think one thing that stands out about Siam is their service, every time I have been there that have been efficient and prompt, and I can't think of a time I have had to wait more than 2 minutes to get seated.",
"Siam cafe is one of those places that you might pass up on appearances. This is hands down my favorite Thai place in town!! However, I have never been impressed by the entrees. I have tried a few of them and they don't rock my world. Why do I give it four stars then? Because and this is a HUGE because, the Tom Ka Kai is something I crave in my dreams, when I am sick, when it's hot, when I am thirsty, when I happy, get the picture? \n\nI have had a few different versions of Tom Ka Kai in other cities and restaurants and I feel Siam makes a wonderfully rich coconut concoction with just the right subtle hints of lime, ginger, chili's that just make my taste buds sing. My husband and I order the large and it comes in a large metal donut shaped bowl with flame in the middle with a side of sticky white rice. This really is enough for two people as a meal. \n\nNow, the other wonderful thing I LOVE here is the steamed dumplings. I horde these things like an alcoholic hordes his boos. I don't even let my kids smell them for fear I might have to share. I have never tasted anything like them but sometimes I think I could write epic tales worthy of Homer after having eaten them. Take my advice, stick with the soup and dumplings and you will leave a happy camper.",
"Ohhhhh the green curry. I could drink it! (And try too if I finish the vegetables before the sauce). I always want to try other things, but the green curry is so good it's hard for me to stray from it.\n\nGood service, the Thai tea is awesome, and the food is yummy."

"Tony Blanche, owner of the Clam Tavern, has opened a new, terrific spot! Since moving here from Detroit six years ago, I have searched for a clean, friendly corner joint with awesome food....and THIS IS IT! The menu: Tony's mom's recipes, cooked like a mom would make. If you grew up on polish food (like I did) you could search forever for periogies like these! Carmelized onions, beautifully sauteed (but not crisp) homeade pierogies....felt like Christmas! Serious sandwiches (partner had the roast beef with sauteed spinach brocolli rabe style), a house salad that rocks (not to mention the wedge), and mac and cheese just like mom's, if your mom was an awesome down home cook! The place is redone, clean, beautiful, and flat screens abound. The bartenders are friendly. The drinks are hefty. The menu boasts a wide variety and includes the Clam's famous baked clams. They are open from dinner on during the week and during the day on the weekends. I hear they will have live entertainment soon. This is an oasis in the dessert of delaware county corner bars. \n I have searched and searched...finally a place I can call home away from home!",
"Children, this is as close to a Philadelphia-style gastropub you will get in Delaware County. A little hard to find, but you'll be glad you did. Went there last night with 3 friends. The Clam across the street was an hour wait, (with good reason - it's goood) so we went across the street to The Broadway. Was a good move. Nice clean recently renovated space - Good selection of beer on tap, good interesting menu. they had a Friday lenten menu. We shared crab fries and fought over the last one, shared periogies, with sauteed onions, I had the fried fish platter with real mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli, friends had the shrimp po'boy and loved it. \nOwner came by and made sure everyone was happy, friendly bar. Gave it 4 stars because I was a little disappointed in the fried fish this time. I've gotten the flounder at the Clam and is absolutely best around - just didn't like the fish last night very much. Everything else was 5 star. You really can't go wrong here.",
"On the recommendation of a friend my boyfriend and i tried this place out. I'm not the biggest fan of hanging out in clifton but this place was very good. We went on a Sunday night and they were dead so we lucked out. We got great service and the food was good. I got a chicken quesadilla and side of Mac and cheese. Wow the side could have been a meal in it self for 4 bucks. \n\nThey menu is more of a sandwich shop with some crazy specials and some clams since it's the same owner as the restaurant across the street. I image this places gets lots of overflow business from the clam. \n\nI heard the waitress say they are going to have live music soon starting around 6. \n\nI think that is all i can remember. I liked the food i wanna try the perogies next time. Check it out.",
"We moved to Delco about 9 months ago and have been looking for a decent bar/place to go for drinks and apps. This place seems to fit the bill quite nicely. I've only been once, but was impressed with the service and the atmosphere. The menu is definitely more simple that what I'm used to from south Philly/Center City, but I've found that things are much different in the burbs, so I'm not complaining. Overall, my wife and I had a great time and think we've found our neighborhood hangout.",
"This is a great neighborhood restaurant / bar. The space is open, clean, bright and welcoming. The staff (especially Carolyn!) is fantastic, and the food is even better. The huge portions make Broadway a value every day, but their specials are over the top! $1 tacos on Taco Tusday, $0.50 wings (amazing wings) during Phillies and Eagles games, $1 hot dogs during games, Thanksgiving Thursdays. \n\nCheck this place out, you wont regret it!",
"The service was TERRIBLE. The bartender was drinking the entire night and only paying attention to her visitors... my girlfriends and I who were PAYING customers barely got any service. They actually mocked us as we were leaving for being \"too young\" and we're all in our mid twenties. If they thought we were too young, which we weren't, then they shouldn't have been serving us in the first place. I would not recommend this establishment to any of my friends, the people are completely disrespectful.",
"I'm a fan of The Broadway. The food is good, the prices are decent and the atmosphere is VERY welcoming. Goes well with the owner! Many times he comes into the dining/bar area and greets guests. Very friendly.\n\nThe staff knows how to take care of you. They could use a few more varieties behind the bar but, chances are they can make whatever you order.\n\nThe nachos rock, the chili is great and the fried pickles are THE BEST! Not to mention the Crab Fries my wife and her sister go CRAZY for everytime!\n\nIf you haven't been there, GO! It's soooo worth leaving the kids in your neighbors sandbox for a few hours!",
"We wanted to try something new tonight so we decided to try the Broadway. We walked in and the place was refreshingly clean. It's loud and has a bar feel with all the TVs and the loud music. We ordered the clams casino which were flavorful but did not have a whole clam at the bottom, just clam bits throughout. Along with the appetizer we were brought some cheddar jalapeño waffles with syrup and butter. They can also come with the entree; interesting idea but not for me. We ordered the meat loaf and the turkey dinner. Both came with delicious mashed potatoes with gravy and a side of steamed broccoli. The turkey also had a side of stuffing and cranberry sauce. Both plates were huge, I took 1/2 of the turkey dinner home. The entrees were $13.99. The two entrees, the clams casino, a Blue Moon beer, plus a 20% tip was $50. Service was a bit rushed. Not sure if this was because they were expecting a big party or if it was something else but it could be better. If you want a home style meal, this is nt a bad choice.",
"Tried The Broadway for the first time last night and we were very happy with our experience. We chose to eat at the bar. The service was excellent. The bar/restaurant was spotless and the noise level was just right. I had the Thanksgiving dinner complete with Turkey, Stuffing, Mash potatoes, Broccoli and Gravy. Yummy. My husband had the Meatloaf Platter which was also tasty. Both dishes were large. In addition we had pierogies and clams casino appetizers which were both delicious and perfectly portioned. We are regulars at the Clam Tavern which is owned by the same gentleman, Tony. I would definitely recommend The Broadway to friends and family. So if you haven't tried it and you have a craving for some comfort food, stop in. You won't regret it.",
"I can't believe this place wasn't even on the Yelp map! Then again, restaurants in Clifton Heights rarely do. Typically this area is not really known for great food but Broadway is a hidden gem that is totally worth visiting. Right next to The Clam Tavern, which is not only another great restaurant but its sister restaurant, Broadway is a sports bar and restaurant that offers quality food, especially their seafood items. Let's just say I've been here twice in one week and the waitress recognized me so quickly that she said \"We have some specials that you probably already know about.\" The decor itself it really nice, especially for a sports bar and for being where it is, that you will forget that you're in Clifton Heights! Our waitress was friendly and efficient, checking with us several times to make sure we were doing OK. The first time I ordered a crab cake sandwich with cucumber wasabi sauce which was one of the best things I've tasted in a while, along with a side of chips that they make themselves (thick cut and perfectly crispy). The second time I got the western grilled chicken cutlet sandwich with bacon and cheese which was also very tasty. My friend got the Thanksgiving Roll Sandwich that had turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce with a side of sweet potato waffle fries. They also had a shaker of cinnamon sugar for those fries which was pretty sweet. Drinks are quite reasonable; my friend got a dram of Dewers for $4.50 and Coors bottles are $2 during Phillies games. I already convinced a couple friends of mine to go there and they were equally as impressed; they plan on making it their regular lunch spot. If you're ever in the area and need a good, affordable place to grab a bite, this is your go to!"

"This place ROCKS! Since my teen years (Doesnt matter how long ago that was!!) It's a MUST STOP for me & my family! \n\nPeanut Butter Cup PLEASE!!! mmmmmmmmmmmMMMMM\n\nThe summer months are the most fun, but any time they are open - it's a great time! \nWhen the sun is beating down & you just cant stand the HEAT? Just pull into the Frosty Boy & have a special TREAT! haha \n\nNow that I'm living in California I still crave it. I get text messages and photos from family whenever they are there - MEAN!! haha \n\nYou can bet I stop in EVERY single time I'm home in Indy! \n\n I HEART YOU, Frosty Boy! I HEART YOU!",
"I've been landing here one way or another since I was 5. They are one of the few places willing to try and make my marshmallow coke. If you've never had a marshmallow coke, trust me when I say PUT IT ON YOUR BUCKET LIST! They are also the only place in Indiana that still makes french fries in a very unique way! So, if you go here is the MUSTS:\nMarshmallow coke\nFrench fries w/ cheese is even better!\nChili Dog\nAnd a peanut butter chocolate shake!",
"I've lived in several different states and been to a lot of ice cream shops, but I think Frosty Boy is the best, hands down.\n\nKey: CRUNCH topping! It's amazing, and I've never found it anywhere else. This delectable sweet crunchy nut & sprinkles topping on a chocolate cone is unbeatable.\n\nAnd yes, their food is great too -- burger & fries are usually what I go with.",
"A quick, cheap, tasty shot of nostalgia. I live in Indianapolis (Irvington), and it's totally worth it to drive out Brookville Rd. to New Pal to sit outside and eat something fried and/or some ice cream. Employees and fellow patrons were all friendly. \n\nFrosty Boy is kind of like a little bit of the State Fair that can happen all summer long. The only seating is outside picnic tables but you can also eat in your car.",
"I love Frosty Boy! I always look forward to stopping there whenever I'm visiting my family in New Pal. If you've got somewhere to be, then hit the drive through. If not, then you can sit outside at the picnic tables and enjoy your tasty treat. If you're in the mood for something a little different, then try their pineapple whip. It is YUUUUMEEEEE! Your four-legged friend can have a treat too, so don't forget to bring them along.",
"My son and I come here often and they never disappoint. Today I got something other than ice cream and the tenderloin sandwich was average but good. Ice cream heavenly as always. Love this place!",
"The ice cream here is awesome!! You really can't beat it. Their fries are amazing as well. Definitely worth the trip out to New Pal for lunch, dinner, or just ice cream!",
"The only thing I hate about this place is when they close for the off season. :) My kids and I go all the time and love it!",
"Frosty Boy is a local landmark for New Palestine, Indiana. It's a fun spot for eating outside at the tables on a summer evening. I don't give five stars, because I don't find their food to be anything to write home about. McDonald's food is better with a better value than Frosty Boy. However, the ice cream is great. I would say they don't have too many unique items - perhaps flurries with lemon pie or the Oreo explosion or brownie supreme. The crunch crumbles or dipped cones are good on the soft serve. It's a fun place to stop for an afternoon snack or dessert while passing through on 52 or the East side of Indy. Service is great - they hire mostly high schoolers who are super efficient and friendly. Great place for kids too - they have cheaper kids' sized shakes and cones.",
"Food is good. Ice cream is great! Atmosphere is excellent! Always a summertime favorite."

"I've quite possibly found my favorite pizza in St. Louis. Move over, Deweys! Outta the way, Pointers! Pi WHO?!? Bono's is where it's at!\n\nWhen me and the boyfriend moved into the neighborhood, one of the goodies we received in the mail was a menu from Bonos with a couple coupons attached. Coupons?! You mean, free stuff? I'm sold!\n\nI had a coupon that allowed me to buy any 10\" or 12\" pizza and receive a second one for free. Sweet. I went with the thick crust pizza (with pepperoni and mushrooms) and a specialty pizza; the Buffalo Chicken Pizza (chicken breast, spicy wing sauce, jalapeno peppers). I threw in an order of toasted raviolis for good measure. \n\nMy order came in about 35 minutes. About average for pizza delivery. \n\nThe pizzas smelled absolutely delicious and were piping hot. The thick crust pizza looked marvelous, and the other pizza...was thin crust. Oh. No. \n\nBackstory: I HATE thin crust pizza. I haven't had a decent one from anywhere. Nope, not even Imos (blech!). I don't like thin crust pizza. At all. \n\nSo I wasn't excited about this buffalo chicken pizza on thin crust, to say the least. But I paid for it, so I tried it. \n\nI think God himself blessed this pizza. Oh, it was SO good. Like nothing I've had before. Like no thin crust pizza I've had before. It was just beautiful. SO delicious. SO flavorful. And although it was thin crust, it wasn't cracker thin like some OTHER pizza places I know of. It was perfect. \n\nBoth pizzas were baked in brick ovens. Perhaps that's the key. The crusts were unbelievable. Just amazing. \n\nThe toasted ravioli was good, but nothing out of this world. Womp womp. \n\nBack to the pizza. It's delicious. Looks like Bono's has earned an entry into my speed dial. It's THAT good. \n\nWhew. I'm done with my food orgasm now. Sorry you all had to witness this. WOW.",
"Not too far from home and I have stopped in a couple of times. The pizza is very good. Not a food orgasm just yet, but very good! The sauce is sweet and the thin crust is wonderful. I'm sure their brick oven makes a lot of the wonderfulness of the pizza. \n\nThey also use a cheese that is orange? Still can't figure out what it is, but it's all so good.",
"Great pizza!! Worth trying if you are used to ordering Cecil's or Imo's over in the southwest edge of the city. It's a takeout or delivery joint that moved into the old Cecil's location off Lindenwood. I happened across the meatball speciality, which is a pizza with sliced meatballs (awesome), mushrooms, and mozzarella. It was a great pizza and we got a free salad with the coupon. Local place worth spending some money with.",
"Great pizza! I love thin crust and this is one of the best in town. The toppings are plentiful and the hot chicken wings are great too.\nDelivery is quick and the staff is friendly.\nThis is our favorite place for a quick meal when we're not up to cooking after a work day.",
"First of all, I am a big supporter of local independent business. Bono's is right up my alley. I did a quick search of pizza joints on Yelp and found Bono's. After scanning The menu I called in for a small Chicago style pizza with sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, and green peppers. \nThe pie was ready in about 45 minutes and we carried out at the Watson-South City address. \nThe pizza was hot and full of flavor. The sausage was spicy and finely diced. The mushrooms were plump and didn't taste tinny, indicating they were probably fresh. Chunks of tomatoes were on top of the pizza with a mild but sweet sauce. The pepperoni was sliced large and was a bit salty.. The green peppers were also diced and easy to digest without tasting overwhelming. \nWe liked the pizza and a small was more than enough for two of us. \nWe also order a small salad and...well... the pizza was very good. This is not a salad joint. \nI would have no problem recommending Bono's to anyone looking for a tasty Chicago style pie.",
"Bono's has been in business near Pietro's for a couple of years (moving in after another pizzeria relocated), but for some reason, I never stopped in until we recently received a menu in the mail. We choose the toasted ravioli and pepperoni thin crust. I decided to pickup so that I could check out the inside. The building isn't much larger than Donut Drive-In, so it was obviously not designed for dining in, though there are 3 tables. The inside probably hasn't been remodeled in 30 years, which adds charm. I had to wait only a few minutes, but after tasting the food, I didn't mind at all. While I've had better toasted ravioli elsewhere, the pizza was excellent and I'll be happy to support the neighborhood economy again, though it is a few dollars more than other pizza places.",
"Really and honestly some of the best pizza that we have ever had. \nLast night we had the Bono's special deep dish. Oh my goodness just pizza greatness in my mouth.",
"We must have caught them on a off night. Ordered a sausage pizza and wings on a Sunday afternoon. We both thought the pizza was mediocre and the wings were gross. I didnt even save the leftover pizza...which says alot because I have saved frozen pizza leftovers before. I was hoping I would like it because I like getting food from the local indep. restaurants opposed to Pizza Hut, Qdoba, etc...but with all of the great food selections in the South City area I dont know that I will try Bono's again.",
"Came here after all day on the road from Nashville TN. They made us a small (12inch) Bonos specialty pizza with sausage, pepperoni, bacon, mushroom, and green bell peppers. Made to order and they even let us sample some of St Louis's famous toasted ravioli. It was SO GOOD! and the pizza came out hot and delicious. The sauce was this weird mix of spicy and sweet. The pizza dough is made fresh daily. My only complaint is that they have a very small area for dining in - only 2 tables in a cramped room.",
"The service is outstanding! Very friendly people. They called me by my name from the moment I called, and when they delivered the pizza to my door. You don't find many businesses left out there like this one. Also the pizza is amazing! My new favorite pizza delivery! They are a bit expensive compared to chain pizza places, but its worth the extra! Give them a try."

"I checked out Whitebox Eatery for breakfast shortly after it opened and thought it was delicious, and found the atmosphere modern, streamlined, and thematic (i.e. lots of white boxes in the decor). They make as much as they can themselves in-house, even including smoking their smoked salmon themselves.\n\nMy breakfast was \"The Club,\" an egg & bacon sandwich on English Muffin bread, and some top-notch coffee. I'd post the photo I took, except I was so eager to eat that there were bites missing by the time I pulled the camera out. The sandwich was cleanly presented, delicious, and filling. \n\nI recommend it, and will definitely be back the next time I'm in St Louis.",
"Great new place in Clayton with upscale yet reasonably priced breakfast & lunch sandwiches as well as nice looking homemade pastries and good coffee - though I don't often drink the stuff so I'm going on other people's opinion regarding the coffee. On an initial visit I had a Steak & Egg sandwich on ciabatta which had great flavors and perfect seasoning while a friend had The Club which he liked a lot while the prices of $6-7 each seemed very reasonable to both of us for quality ingredients and great taste. The sandwiches remind me of quite a few little joints in Portland and New Orleans which are focused on putting excellent ingredients and flavor combinations on bread and providing a tasty meal quickly and without pretension. That being said, this space in Clayton is much nicer than anyplace I can think of in Portland or New Orleans - the decor is upscale with a modern, clean look and the people are surprisingly friendly and helpful.\n\nWhitebox Eatery isn't a sit-down place in the traditional sense because you order and pay at the front then can sit wherever you want. If you want a quick but good meal during the week I suspect it will work well with the local business crowd plus it should be easy for people who live nearby or even guests at the Ritz Carlton which is about a block away. If you want, you can also hang out and savor the tastes and atmosphere (maybe with an extra cup of coffee or a cookie or pastry for dessert) since the space is pretty large and I think should seat up to 50-75 people comfortably. There aren't a lot of soft surfaces so I suspect it could get a tad loud when it's full but on my initial visit the background music and slight crowd noise just added a nicely energetic vibe to the place.\n\nKeep in mind it's Breakfast & Lunch only and the website says they close at 4:00 during the week and 3:00 on the weekends, but on first look this appears to be a great new option in Clayton. Very nicely done!",
"I realize this is a new restaurant but they really need to get their act together. The interior is bright and well finished and the staff was very nice but did not know the menu very well. We ordered at the counter and the food is brought to your table. Although it was not very busy at all, the food took a long time to arrive. An order of scrambled eggs was supposed to be two eggs and arrived with only one on the plate. The biscuits were cold and the house-made jam listed on the menu as a part of the \"plate\" did not come with our food. It was delivered when we asked about preserves for the biscuits and came to the table on a coffee saucer, not a serving plate. Not a huge deal-but not the expectation of a nice new restaurant. After we had received out food, a second order with the same order # was brought around the restaurant. Not a big deal except for the fact that the second order clearly had more scrambled eggs(and more full plates) and included jam--they ended up sending those breakfasts back to the kitchen. Our food, while okay, was not very warm either. The coffee was excellent and was piping hot. \nAdditionally, we were overcharged for our orders as the prices were incorrect in the computer. The staff quickly corrected the overcharge but we wondered why after a month in business the prices were not correct. We should have commented to someone but no one asked \" How was your meal today\" so we just really wanted to eat and leave. Would we come back? Maybe, if there is more attention paid to detail and food arrived in a timely manner. The quality of the food was good but got lost in the lackluster presentation.",
"Great twist on the brunch and sandwich cafe! Cool minimalistic interior and nice people! Two menus, one for Mo-Fri, and weekend brunch theme selections. We will definitely be back.",
"I have only been there for breakfast but it was really good. It always amazing me that resteraunts can mess up omelets and other simple breakfast items. This place did not have any issues and as matter of fact made a mean omelet. My favorite dish is the Nutella and bannana sandwich.",
"This is the old Stratton's space, with a sleek new modernist finish. I had the ham and brie sandwich; my husband had the bananas foster French toast. Both were large portions (neither of us could finish) and we both ended up eating off each other's plates. Delicious! We will be back.",
"Nice space for sure with very good food. I came here for lunch with a friend as a first time visit for us both. We ordered the crispy eggplant sandwich (very good) and the grilled cheese (also very good) and complimented it with a glass of fresh squeezed oj (excellent). Reasonable priced for the market it's a nice alternative to the other lunch spots in the area. I will definitely go back.",
"White Box Eatery is the new kid on the delightful little block of Carondelet Plaza. I went there one sunny Saturday for lunch and had quite the satisfying experience. The mood was quiet and calming with classic rock playing the background. The concept for the restaurant is an ever-changing \"white box\" with new chefs and dishes all the time, according to their website. This should allow for a creative menu with fun tastes and flavor combinations. The venue is super clean with a few TV's and minimalist furnishings - largely white and plastic. If you didn't realize their mission to create a blank slate with their restaurant, you'd probably think the place looked rather boring, but I believe they envisioned the decor to exemplify their mission as well.\n\nWhen I visited, I ordered the ham and brie sandwich with a side of fresh fruit and a chocolate espresso drink. The ham and brie was perfectly toasted with just enough butter on the bread to make it taste oh-so-good but not drown it in extra calories. The arugula, fig mustard, and crispy onions were outshone by the melty brie that any other person might think the sandwich had too much of, but this is me we're talking about, and I love cheese. It was enough that if you tipped the sandwich to the side, it might slide out. Perfectly melted. And they left the rind on, which is how I believe brie should be served. The fruit was standard continental breakfast fare - quality ripeness and fresh, but nothing exciting.\n\nThe service was an interesting experience. The menu is behind the counter and you order and pay there. The young lady who took my order was friendly and smiling. Then I proceeded to the drink station to get my water and took my seat. The food and espresso drink were brought promptly to me, and there were maybe 2-3 servers/bussers who were constantly perusing the tables and floor picking up the smallest of crumbs and dust. They asked me almost 5 times in an hour if I'd like a refill of water or if they could get me anything. I felt a little overbeared upon, but can I really complain about being waited on hand and foot?\n\nTo end a calming lunch before starting my day, the chocolate espresso drink was an excellent dessert. It wasn't too sweet like you'd get at Panera, and afterwards, I felt just fabulous walking out onto Carondelet in high class Clayton with my large sunglasses and latte after my delicious lunch.",
"Nice brunch spot while visiting with our son for WUSTL parents weekend. Strada too salty for great ingredients to reveal their flavor, but Bananas Foster French Toast was enjoyed by all. Coffee was fair.",
"At first glance, this place looks awesome....Actually eating here, is a whole different story. The first thing, they really need too decide if they want to be a full service restaurant, or an upscale wanna-be Bread Co. When the best thing you have is their ice tea. I had the Salmon Tartine....which would have been called salmon sprinkled cream cheese. The cream cheese was at least an inch and a half thick. The roasted potatoes were ice cold, when we mentioned it, they took them back, microwaved them, came back out, half were raw. Not just mine, but my friend's also. For just ordering from the counter, they sure have a lot of staff walking around filling drinks....we were probably asked 5 different times in the course of 10 minutes is everything okay? Well, yes it was OK. They really need to figure out if they want to be a full service table restaurant or order at the counter, it became very confusing. They have actual menus printed out, not to-go menus as well as monitors with the menu. I highly wouldn't recommend this place, and will not be back. Clayton is definitely not the place for this eatery. Also, need to hire cooks that can actually cook!"

"7/13 Soft opening first impressions. Will update later.\n\nA departure from the successful Brauhaus and Wursthaus Schmitz, Whetstone has a very different feel in it's atmosphere, draft/bottle/wine list, and menu.\n\nRequest to take interior photos were declined at this time, but the cozy bar area is slightly separated from the well-windowed dining area.\n\nThey are on OpenTable and accepting reservations.\n\nGood luck with this new endeavor, Chef Nolen!",
"New places always have challenges. Whetstone has lots of promise but needs to lighten up on the salt.\n\nDrinks - Thumbs up for importing bottles of Monk's excellent sour ale all the way from 16th street. \n\nAppetizers - The wings had a wonderful aroma and great crunchy skin, but were very salty. The beets and carrots were good but the serving size was very small. \n\nEntries - The cod was cooked perfectly and served over an excellent broth and good clams. The pork was good, but very salty just like the wings.",
"The restaurant itself is beautiful and the staff was just wonderful. Everyone is very enthusiastic and well informed about what they're serving. \n\nWe especially enjoyed the cheese plate and the charcuterie board. I was very impressed that they cure a lot of the meats on premises. The beer list was great; plenty of choices. The desserts were awesome and I would order them again and again. \n\nMy ONLY complaint is that I personally found the entrees to be very overly salty. However, I think everything else was so great and I would definitely recommend this spot to a friend. Every place will have some kinks to work out during their first week open. \n\nGood luck to these wonderful people and their new endeavor!",
"I am so happy this place was great. We need more places like this and it hit the spot last night. We had salads, burgers, roast beef, crabcakes, fries and of course drinks. Everything was so good and our server was great. We will be back and will spread the word.",
"First time here tonight and it's only a week old. Seems more like a place that's been open for years because food, service, atmosphere were all perfection! From Charcuterie to mussels, Rabbit Tetrazinni, and dessert it was all delicious. This place will be one of the most sought after tables in no time.",
"Excellent selection of wines and - surprisingly for a wine bar - beer. About 14 taps! They have Stella Cidre which I love bc it's dry, unlike most. Very cozy atmosphere, nice staff, good prices. Only complaint was service - cheese plate came without bread so bartender had to cut up dinner rolls. Cheese was good though! Will definitely go back.",
"Solid 4 stars. Food that goes a bit beyond gastropub, but with moderate prices. Can def order apps and sides and build a meal, this has worked well at a lot of Stephen Starr restaurants and allows multiple visits at different price levels-I like. Big open front room with windows everywhere, nice side dining area as well. \n Loved: corn soup--big portion--had texture, several flavors, garlic croutons, yum!\n fries--perfection, best I've had in awhile, comes w. sirracha ketchup\n pasta w. sharp provolone and stewed tomatoes, had a lot of spice (rosemary??) in \n tomatoes, plays like a mac and cheese w. tomatoes on the side--I'll get this \n again. \n burger--can get as single or double, good size for price, highly recommend\n maple cream pie for dessert--amazing\n\nWasn't excited w. the homemade potato chips, might be amazing just out of the fryer, were ok. \nNot a fan of the checked outfits worn by wait staff, they add weight to the persons body--visually and kind of make the staff look like they don't have good fashion sense. \n\nNext time will go a bit deeper into the menu and try some entrees. \n\nSpent $37 before tip, had corn soup, burger, w. chips as side, split pasta as side, split maple pie, had one drink. Was quite full (am 6'5\", 235). \n\nStaff was excellent across the board.",
"First visit on a not-so-busy Saturday night. Three stars, according to Yelp, mean 'A-OK'. Maybe B minus-OK in my estimation.\nLocals will remember past culinary iterations in this space that were just meh.\nFor starters, the space is handsome but with some kitschy touches that will wear thin over time. Whetstone has the look of a first post-grad project conceived by a marketing/restaurant design major.\nThe bar is smaller now when compared to the prior tenant's design, and this is because of the addition of a crudo/cheese station. This concept is a culinary peeve for me, since ANYONE can pull together an excellent crudo/cheese plate at home for a fraction of the cost. You can, Blanche. You can. \n\nMoving along.\n\nA particular aspect about this place that the current and previous owners keep failing to address is the lack of noise-abating construction materials. At points, it was too loud with the place only half full. A particularly chatty threesome ten feet away really drove that point home. \n\nThis city is full of trendy places like this, and Whetstone, like all the rest, unfortunately fails to take the extra steps to create a marginally more quiet dining experience. Skip this place on weekends if you hate the din as much as I do.\n\nOnward.\n\nMy partner had the Caesar Salad, and I had the Whetstone salad, both of which were plentiful and quite good. Only complaint is that the croutons in both were well past their prime and inedible. Zero crunch. Tough as licorice.\nMy partner had the seared Icelandic cod with clams (6 oz if that matters to you...), and he said it was a four-star dish.\nOn to my burger, listed as 'Dad's Burger' on the menu. It was offered as a single patty (about 4-5 oz according to our server), or double patty (about $3 more) of La Frieda beef, which is a well-regarded meat purveyor.\nOk. I get it. Americans frequently ruin hamburgers by mashing the heck out of them with a spatula on a barbecue. And yes, fattier is tastier, and cooking over a barbecue grill unfortunately lets all that unctuous goodness drip through the grill into oblivion.\nHowever, the Dad's Burger, in spite of its carnal pedigree, was just plain drippy bovine bloviation that overwhelmed the meager bun and made me pine for the much-lauded burger at Rouge on Rittenhouse. \nWhatever toppings were on the Dad's Burger just got lost in the muck. We all know that a proper burger is a thick, gently packed thing of beauty with some juice in evidence. Not here, however.\nI opted for the fries (half salad is also offered), which were just too friggin' salty. Oversalting is a given here, as much as anywhere else, so no surprise.\nI may give Whetstone another try, but there is nothing new going on here.",
"If for nothing else I will give four stars for the beverage program. I've been twice both times have been tasty food wise. I ordered both types of wings and both are wonderful. At this time of year, no one can go wrong with heirloom tomatoes. Only reason I'm not giving five stars is because service sort of was wonky. The first time I went it was very clear who the bartender and was the barback. Both times both bartenders were on point and handled everything with grace and skill. The second time I could presume who was who from their positioning. The second time I was directing my attention to the bartender because I was moving outside. I had already addressed the host to tell her what was occurring, and rather than her telling me whether they were a pulled house or not I figure I would eliminate the problem and settle up at the bar. Then once I caught the bartenders attention she gracefully handled my request. In the meantime the barback was directing me to the host who I just spoke with, BTW's I appreciate a good banter about any and all of food and beverage, I just don't like being made to feel somewhat inferior by a barback, especially because I've been in the industry for a 9 years. If he was the bartender then I apologize, and I'm totally wrong. Regardless, they really new the food and drinks are stellar, the manager hits your table every time, just as a nice way to show hospitality (my friends dog licked his shoes and he didn't even act bothered). I will totally go back and probably frequent this place.",
"Positive: excellent service, nice atmosphere, and great food! Go for the lafrieda blend burger, actually go for two if that's what you are having. Their spicy ketchup goes great with fries too. The roast beef is delicious on martin's potato roll but needs a sauce to make it perfect.\n\nNegative: location one block of south street is undergoing construction so don't get the south street vibe (this may be a good thing for some). Also the service was somewhat slower than I'd expect but it may be because it's a new restaurant.\n\nOverall: will definitely revisit and hope they keep good quality food and improve service speed!"

"Wasabi is in its new location on Apple\nThe place is large, colorful and clean\nThe food was great. The tempura was fully battered with a light covering and not at all greasy.\nWe had an order of three rolls and was more than 2 of us could eat. Next time I will try a dinner or bento box to see what the sides are like. They have just opened and the have some special discounts on about 1/3 of the sushi rolls\nVery good food, I will go back",
"Really enjoyed the sushi here, all the rolls were very good. The Kill Bill was my personal favorite, but the Del Mar was a close second. The service was a bit slow, other tables got their rolls before we did even though they were seated after us. Altogether I think this is going to be a regular place for us, which is a bit dangerous since all the rolls were very good.",
"Took my family there on a busy Sat night the first week after opening. Honestly the service was a little rough, but still super friendly. They're working the kinks out, which I'd expect... But the sushi was TERRIFIC. We had miso soup, gyoza, udon soup, bento box, rainbow roll, California roll, maguro sushi and edamame. Everything was excellent, and they're doing a 50%off special on most items. Awarding 4 stars because service still needs work but I expect that will rapidly improve. Also 50% off certainly helps everyone overlook a few startup snafus...! We'll definitely return again.",
"Great sushi and very reasonable prices. Kind of a sushi snob and have eaten it all over the country and in Asia. Not going to say it's the best I've had anywhere, but best in Boise for sure and again, can't beat the price.",
"I'm somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. The ambiance is great, you do not feel like you are in a strip mall at all. As the other reviews said the service needs improvement. We were there on a weekend evening and they seemed to have a hard time keeping up with typical service wait times. It took a while to receive water and menus once seated. We received our miso and salads fairly quick, but the seaweed salad wasa either missed with the kitchen or behind. \n\nThe food was all very tasty. According to the husband the seaweed salad was fantastic. There were 2 different prices for the rolls with no explanation of the difference and no differentiation on the order slip (you complete your own for the rolls). The rolls we received were all 8 pieces but they were small, not much in them. They had large gaps between bringing each roll out to us. Midway through our service they seemed to realize the slow service on the floor and I assume the manage came out to assist. \n\nIf they can improve their service and either make the rolls a bit more robust or explain the menu better we will likely become regulars. I'm hoping they do.",
"Was fine. Catepillar roll was delicious, Philly and Rainbow were fine but nothing special. Service was ok but nothing to write home about. It's really close to where we live so we'll probably go there again but I wouldn't go out of my way.",
"Good sushi, good prices. The location is a little obscure but the remodel inside is nice and you forget you're in a strip mall. Had the play girl and the crunch tempura- both good!",
"Pleasantly surprised! Very pleased with everything we ordered! Fresh, creative, and diverse menu complimented with a great atmosphere! And you can't beat the pricing!",
"Been here on weekend and weekday.\n\nFOOD:\nHonestly, I go here for their katsu curry. I've never tried the other menu before but this is where I get my katsu curry fix! The menu looks pretty varied and I would like to try the other food on my next visit. \n\nPLACE/AMBIANCE:\nSaturday lunch for 2 people-quiet (3-4 other tables). Tuesday lunch for myself-dead quiet (1 other table). 'm not sure whether it's because of the location or people just don't know this place exists. I actually like the fact that it's such a quiet place to enjoy my food. But I want this place to stay in business so check them out! The ambiance/decor is nice and unique. Love the lanterns! And they have big parking lot too.\n\nSERVICE:\nSince on a few occasions I've been here it was always quiet, the service was always great. The server was very attentive. But I can't attest to service on busy days/nights!",
"Brilliant. Please support this business. It would be a shame to lose it. Some of the best sushi available in Boise + great prices."

"The location opened up this weekend and was very busy. This was my first visit to an Uno's and my first taste of Chicago style pizza. There were free appetizers and drinks in the party room to keep us happy while we waited to be seated. Once seated, we placed our order. A pizza arrived within 10 minutes but once we tried our slices, we saw that we got the wrong pizza. The manager apologized and our pizza arrived a few minutes later. My friend really enjoyed it. I am not as big of a fan of the crust and prefer a thin crust. I am very impressed with the beer selection and would like to try catching sports in the bar area sometime.",
"They were not even busy but the Food took too long almost 30 min , my steak arrived cold and they had to remake it , they have nice tv screens but they were all flickering on and off during the game .the manager removed the steak from the bill and apologized about the wait time .food was ok overall !!\nThey just opened so I ll give them one more chance to see if they improved their service .",
"I normally go to the UNOs in Plymouth Meeting but figured I would give this new location a try since it is closer to my house, boy was I not impressed. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar to have drinks and dinner like we normally do, this was the slowest service we have ever experienced at an UNOs. I can't remember the bartenders name but she had very short blonde hair, she was very nice in the beginning but basically ignored us once it started to get busy. In the beginning she asked our names, the type of beer we drink and gave us samples of craft beers they had on tap, this was very impressive, however once it came time to take our food order I had already drank a full beer. The food came at a normal time and tasted the same as the other location, however the bartender NEVER came back to check on us. This is no excuse especially since three other bartenders were also working. Also I noticed one of the other bar tenders looking at my empty cup but never asked if I wanted a refill, what just because she wasn't the original one to serve me? Overall it's clear this staff can't handle a busy restaurant and hopefully they get an idea of what great customer service is before they lose all their customers.",
"Food took forever, then was cold. Bartender was slow as a turtle. We wont be going back anytime soon.",
"First I should preface that they just opened this location recently. We wanted to try it but likely won't be back for a while, if ever. It was 3 in the afternoon and my wife and I wend for a late lunch. It was not very busy yet the service was very slow. Slow to get drinks, slow to get food, very slow to get bill. There were plenty of staff in, especially around the door, doing nothing. \n\nMy wife ordered pasta and I had a pizza. The crust was very sweet, too sweet for pizza. The pasta was fair but there are better restaurants in the area with better service and better tastes. It was also more expensive than we would have expected for the quality and service we received. I cannot recommend this.",
"I went here for a party with some friends on Saturday night. They gave us a private room, and we had a blast! We had a server dedicated to running drinks our way. She did a great job of keeping tabs on everyones tabs... you like how i did that there? Some people ordered food, and again, they did a great job of tracking down the right people and getting them the right stuff. By the end of the night, it was like herding kittens, but they kept their cool. All the beers were delicious, and the little food i ate was also fab (should have eaten more!!!). Everyone I talked to was very nice, and the place was super-clean. For a chain, this place was great!",
"I try to refrain from writing reviews about chains, but I thought it necessary to review this particular Uno. The staff were great. I ate here with my wife and my son after we took my little man to Arnold's Playhouse for his birthday. They sang to him and treated us great. The food was good as it usually is at Uno, but the biggest draw for me was the customer service.\n\nThe chances of me being in Oaks again is probably very slim, but if I am in the area and have a taste for pasta or pizza, I'm heading to this Uno.",
"I have been here a handful of times now - grand opening, drinks at the bar, dinner, and a private party. The customer service is outstanding, and at a big chain restaurant that is hard to come by! The food is good, and the service is fast and attentive even when the place is packed! The waitress from our private party even recognized us a few weeks later and stopped by our table to say, \"Hi!\" \n\nParking can be tricky at popular times like lunch and dinner on the weekends, but the outdoor fire pit is a nice add on and I can't wait to sit outside on spring or fall nights! Ladies be warned, there are no purse hooks in the bathroom stalls, but I did mention that on a comment card!",
"We started our family night here. Marcus was our server and he did a tremendous job. He was attentitive and even engaged my four year old daughter in conversation. My daughter made her own pizza, I ordered the roasted vegi and goat cheese wrap, and my husband ordered the rattlesnake chicken sandwich. My wrap was ok. Not enough goat cheese and no mushrooms which would have been nice. I don't think I would order it again. I do wish they had healthier options. My husband enjoyed his sandwich as did my daughter with her pizza. The server really took this review from three stars to four. The restaurant filled all at once and never did I feel like he was overwhelmed and he was on top of everything. Even the manager stopped by to see how the food was. They've outdone themselves with service, the menu now needs to catch up.",
"2.5 stars based on numerous visits for lunch, rounded up to 3 for the friendly service. Bartenders were great, service was great, food...the big letdown...But you didn't come here to eat did you? \n\nI've had numerous items from the menu and am totally unenthused. I can only recommend the pizza and dessert. Altho even the pizza left me disheartened today. Sadly it was ruined for me before it even made it to the table as 2 servers didn't know what it was and kept holding it up to their face to try and identify it. They could not, so they left the room and came back in declaring it pepperoni...It was obvious someone dug around on the top of the pizza to uncover the toppings and ID this pizza, so I was bent before I even tried it. \n\nTip for Unos: buy some little toothpick flags and use them to ID your pizzas. \n\nHad burgers on a couple occasions, decent but not going to keep me from Cheeburger Cheeburger. The lunch steak was pitiful at 6 oz, but cooked a very nice medium rare. I will never order a steak here again, but wanted to give it a shot. Got the naked baked potato which is basically mashed potatoes with some toppings mixed in and a HUGE dollop of sour cream on top. It is probably a lot easier for them to keep a pile of mashed potatoes available rather than a bunch of baked potatoes, but I must say I prefer the actual potato.\n\nI sat at the bar to watch the World Cup, Olympics and the Euro. They have many TVs in this area and there is hardly a place to sit without a good view in the bar area. There are also tables around the bar that have waiter service which includes 3 tables right by the fireplace! \n\nI will head back to watch TV at lunch and probably have some pizza and dessert!"

"They have a few of my favorite things: NFL Sunday ticket! 7 flat screens on the wall. Victory HopDevil on Tap. Fellow Fantasy Footballers hanging watching 5 games simultaneously. A nice wait staff. \nTheir menu is the stereotypical sports bar menu. They have it all. I've only had the wings, of course the first thing I try. They are good, but not Union Jack's good.\nThey do still have smoking in the bar area. Which means they make most their money from alcohol sales. A brew and a game go great with some wings. That's all I need for a local sports pub.",
"Got some free WiFi\nTiny buns can't hold my meat\nThank you for smoking\n\nThis place has more flat screens than Best Buy! Mix in Sunday Ticket, free WiFi , good bar food and beer selection and you have yourself a prime out of house Fantasy Football command center my friends.\n\nIf you don't smoke than this probably isn't your place. It is the most spacious neighborhood bar I've been in yet, but seemingly everyone was burning cancer sticks and you will want to fabreeze when you leave.\n\nI was about to flip a coin on whether to get a burger or wings and the decision was made for me when I read you can choose fries or Tatter-Tots with the burgers...I love me some tots! The burger was good, nothing special really except the nice sized patty was served on a bun the size of a biscuit! lol, I was most impressed that it held up throughout. I did see many plates of wings and they looked top notch. Oh, and the Tot's were a heaping mound a mini-fried potato goodness.\n\nLastly I'll say that I thought everyone was great, staff and regulars alike. The regulars were outgoing and friendly. The guys and girls working were outgoing and attentive.\n\nAs the Governor of California once said, I'll be back",
"The bar itself is actually pretty cool but the scumbags that frequent the place really kill the atmosphere. Most of them are knuckle dragging mouth breathing blue collar wiggers",
"I believe that the other reviews are very outdated. First off, you can't smoke in there anymore. We just moved to Glenside, and we love ordering pizza from there. Best that we've found so far, and the price is great....2 large pizzas for $14. Waiter service is always nice and efficient. I've been there for hockey games, etc., and there are plenty of tvs. I like the bartenders, and one of them even bought me a drink on my birthday! My cousins frequent Jerzee's quite a bit, so that's how we got turned on to it, and I'm glad we did! I'm \"friends\" with them on facebook now, and they seem to have really good specials every day. We'll have to go check out some of their weekday specials, especially since my house is too freakin hot to cook in!",
"Delivery was quiick. Pizza was out of this world, chicken romano ranch, loaded with garlic and fresh mushrooms.\nBacon cheesburger cooked to order as well. Definately will be ordering again.\n\n2nd order on 3/7 was just as good, fast delivery, polite delivery person. This is my favorite for sure",
"Ate here tonight. Took over 30 minutes to get a personal pan pizza and a tuna hoagie. Waitress did not write down order so I question if she forgot to put it in. In fact, after about 30 minutes, I asked if it was almost ready. She said the pizza takes over 30 minutes to cook! Couldn't wait to see the pizza after it cooked 30 minutes but I can say the pizza was excellent. Tuna hoagie was ok. I also ordered fries which she obviously forgot to put in and brought them out when I was almost finished my meal. They were undercooked. She never came back so I could ask for ketchup. I would recommend that if you are NOT going to write down an order, get it right.",
"This review is for the pizza only...we got the 2 large pizzas for 15.99...one with extra cheese and one with sausage...total for two pizzas because of the toppings was $21.19...not bad...and their pies are HUGE. Anyway, it was excellent pizza. Best I have had so far in this area.",
"I have been here twice. I hate to be REALLY negative, however... Have you ever walked into a room that looks like a dark hole and smells like mildew? I have, it was here. I let it go because I thought that I was being overly critical. But the place is dirty. The food is OK. It's actually decent, but I was served on a dirty bar with dirty chairs and a mildewed floor. \n\nThe staff, well.....YOU ARE IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY--How about some SERVICE (enough said).",
"OK, this review might not suit everybody, but I only went there for the pizza and beer. Here it is: THE BEST GD PIZZA IN THE BURBS. I dare you to find me one better. And the afternoon bartender, Kevin, is one cool dude. Old-school bartender who keeps an eye on everyting. Bartending as an art!! I have not had any other food in this place, so I may have my head up my rear end. But go for the pizza, you will be astounded that a sports bar frequented by a bunch of kids could have pizza this good. I am not shi**ing you, it's really that good. I lie awake at night trying to figure out ways to trick my wife into going to Glenside so we just happen to end up at Jerzees. Maybe I should tell her that someone built a Bed Bath and Beyond next to it, then I'd have it made.",
"Lots of beer . The pizza here is amazing and big. Wings are crispy and delicious. \nsometimes they have bands and it makes it way to crowded, but on the average night it's great."

"The old Frankie's Hot Dogs is now The Outpost Tap House + Tavern. Same owners aiming for a different crowd. The change was a good move and a step in the right direction.\n\nThe new bar looks fantastic! Really nice woods, some sharp televisions already tuned to the relevant sporting events, and plenty of tap handles to be pulled. The draft list felt very reminiscent of The James Joyce in Ybor. A few deeper picks, but nothing a moderate beer geek hasn't seen before and a relatively \"safe\" selection. Of course, all pours are served in a 16 ounce pint glass. It makes for a great value, even though some purists will cringe at the glassware for their Tripel. There is also a moderate selection of cans to choose from.\n\nWe opted for some food and browsed the selection of spruced-up comfort food. The BBQ Pork Sandwich was exactly as advertised: pork, sauce, bun. The taste was fine but the consistency reminded me of dog food. Again, it tasted good, but add some fresh pickles or cole slaw and snazz it up a bit, folks! Crunch is important! The fries on the side were excellent. The Beer-Battered Cajun Shrimp Po'Boy sounded great but really missed the mark. The shrimp didn't even seem battered but just sprinkled with Cajun salt. There were six of them meticulously placed on the sandwich which just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. It felt cheap. The Cuban bread they used was obviously a few days old and the sauce was barely noticeable. It was a far cry from a real New Orleans Po'Boy, even with the liberties taken to make it fancy. Side salad was simply romaine with diced tomatoes, cucumbers and onions. Perfectly edible but a bit bland.\n\nWe visited on a weekend afternoon and it seemed that nearly all male patrons greeted each other with \"bro\" or \"dude\", but I guess that's to be expected for the location. It wouldn't surprise me if it became a full-on frat party after hours.\n\nAll in all, I can see promise. They've only been open for about a week or so and show some potential. I know those menus cost a lot of money to make but please consider making some changes. If they can shift it into high gear, this could become more than just a UT staple. Frat boys can keep you in business for a while but they'll end up chasing every other crowd out of there. Delicious food and great drinks will keep everyone around!",
"So we were at The Patio and ran into one of the owners and noticed he was wearing an Outpost shirt. We asked about it, and he said he had a stake The Outpost as well. Then, he whipped out his cell phone and showed us a live video stream of what was going on over there, so we decided to hit it up after leaving The Patio.\n\nWe weren't really hungry, so we just ordered a Tampa Cheesesteak, which was just a cheesesteak, but served on Cuban bread. We had them quarter it for us so we could just sample it, and it was damn good. Why hasn't anyone thought of serving a cheesesteak on Cuban bread sooner? It came with a side of fries, which were probably some of the most crispy fries I've ever eaten. Delicious.\n\nWe also got some Korean BBQ chicken wings. They were excellent in taste, but could have been a little crispier. Maybe coat them in whatever those fries were coated in.\n\nOnly downer was that they didn't have a full liquor bar, beer and wine only.\n\nWill definitely go back though. I'm interested in the Cuban burger, which is basically a Cuban sammich with all the traditional fixins, plus a freaking burger patty. I gotta have it.",
"The Outpost which recently opened brings an exciting option to the incoming UT class. As bars, taphouses, tavern, pubs, gastropubs etc... seem pop up and close in a market where they seem to come around a dime a dozen, one cant help but to note what might set this establishment apart from the rest.\n\nI do like the comfort feel of the wooden décor interior yet the modern flare of numerous flat screen TVs that yells sports bar. They do have a very large outdoor covered patio area. This also plays great in their favor come gameday for those who are looking for a place to hang that's not so SoHo or not quite downtown.\n\nThe menu ranges classic bar food items like of wings, burgers, and fries, but also caters healthier options of numerous wraps and salads. \n\nI did like the uniqueness of their menu from the inspired sauces for wings or have them dry rubbed with numerous seasoning blend options to their creation of craft burgers.... Ok, if I see a unique burger build their is a good chance I'm coming to your establishment. Needless to say, I had a burger the \"El Cubano\" to be exact. Spanish style pulled pork on top of a seasoned beef blend of ground chuck and short rib, swiss cheese, mustard sauce, pickle chips on Ybor City Cuban bread. I did like the hype of the uniqueness, but unfortunately flavor build was the middle of the road for me. Other mentionable were the crispy seasoned onion rings which are paired with some unique condiments of roasted garlic ranch and chipotle ketchup. I also tried the sesame slaw as a side, however there was nothing presented in that slaw that yelled Asian elements other than the dressing.\n\nEven though some of the menu item I tried seemed to be \"standard bar food\" I do keep in mind the establishment if focused more on the craft brewing experience of which I did get the opportunity to try four unique craft beers of my choice on their flight option. Now only 36 more drafts to try. My server was helpful and pleasant and food was brought out in a timely fashion.\n\nEstablishment hours of operation is currently uncertain but I was told that they open at lunch at 11a and can potentially close late night around 3a depending on the nature of busyness. I do foresee as the fall semester begins, there will be many promotional offers to draw in the college crowd and on gameday the comradery of bonding for victory or defeat for numerous sporting events.The Outpost will be many peoples destination for food, fun, and brews.",
"VIBE: The former Frankie's was closed and transformed to a brew pub bar. Dark walls, floor and ceiling and long bar with TVs above and 40 beers on tap. Frankie's had a varied patron group including white and blue collar workers, families with children, UT students, etc and reasonable prices. \n\nORDER THE: We had a burger, side salad and a steak sandwich. The burgers are priced from $10 to $12. The burger was good but I didn't see a $12 value in it. With one ice tea and tip, lunch was $30.00 - on the pricey side. Service was friendly but slow (from kitchen) and salad arrived at end of meal.\n\nNot sure what their business plan is as it is priced out of budget for most people at lunch. Craft beers are in the $5 - $6 range. Seems too pricey for UT students, however they can walk from dorm to here rather than go to Howard Ave. It has nice finishes and furnishings but not a draw to bring me back.",
"Well, I miss Frankie's a bit... I wish they had kept the hot dogs!\n\nThis place was nicely renovated and is pretty cool inside, although a little small.\n\nMenu has a lot of variety and great stuff for lunch. I had the Tampa Cheesesteak, which is basically a philly cheesesteak on Cuban bread with mustard. Pretty good. The french fries were generic seasoned fries... I'll try a different side next time--they had a wide variety.\n\nService was good and the place was busy (on a Friday at noon), but not so much that you couldn't get a table. I will be back.",
"Best freaking jerk chicken sandwich EVER. \n\"The big jerk\" has provolone, avocado, on a Hawaiian roll! \nTons of beer on tap, great desserts.",
"We've eaten here twice so far and both times the food has been excellent. Sure it's a bar and it's loud (cause I'm old) but for some reason they just have really good food. The beer selection is also very good. There's a wide variety to choose from and did I mention the food was good? ;)\n\nThe first time I went, I tried the hummus and guac plate. The server suggested I try it with the pita served cold and not fried. It was much healthier this way and super tasty. Plus, the guac was fresh and as they call it \"smashed\" to perfection. \n\nThe second time I went, I tried the cobb salad. Also, really good. Lots of veggies, eggs, avocado, and the most imortant cobb salad ingredient, bacon. \n\nMy boyfriend keeps ordering the jerk chicken sandwich and after sampling his it's going to be tough for me to stay on the healthy side when we go there - it's that good. It's a jerk seasoned chicken, with avocado, and provolone served on a Hawaiian roll. It's really hands down one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever tasted. \n\nMy boyfriend got the fried oreo sundae a few weeks ago and said it was ok. I passed on it. I could not, however, pass on the cupcakes he ordered this week. A vanilla and chocolate cupcake served with a big strawberry and raspberry and chocolate glaze. It was devilishly delectable. \n\nMy only reason for not giving this place 5 stars is because the service was a little slow and it's really loud.",
"From the moment we walken in I was conflicted. On one hand the staff was attractive and the Tv's were nice but the smell was like an aquarium. Maybe it's just the new bar smell. Our Bartender was friendly though she was brushing her hair with her hand while talking to us(weird). Then it gets worse. She lets us sample a local craft beer but she sips out of the cup first.After placing our order she wipes her nose with her hand while pouring the beer and the beer is not the one we ordered. Just a brush up on bar awareness and techniques and I'll come back. I'm gonna wait till they weed out the grossness. Nice Tv's",
"Love the wings & omg the fries are amazing at this bar! They also have my favorite beer from Kona Brewery in Hawaii. Great service and staff!",
"I just had lunch at the Outpost located at 909 W Kennedy Blvd in Tampa. It's a sports bar with 13 TV's. I had the Grilled Onion, mushroom and Swiss burger and The Big Jerk. Both sandwiches were very good. The service was also Very good. I was greeted by Jana who was my server. Jana did a fantastic job and I highly recommend her. In addition the food was brought to my table Tony who happens to be one of the managers. My hat goes off to Tony. My favorite server Jane was not here today. Jane always gives me excellent service. When visiting the Outpost ask for Jana and Jane they are the best."

"We went to Spinners fully aware the online reviews were only OK. Our experience was what the reviews said you go for the views not the food. The views are the best in St. Pete, ask for the sunset table. I found the food only OK mainly because my steak was cool by the time it was served. Also, stay away from the tap water, like all of St. Pete beach, it has a funny taste which they should filter before serving.",
"The view was fantastic, especially at sunset! Definitely the reason to go! The entire upstairs roof-top lounge slowly rotates around with an amazing view of St.Pete beach and the surroundings!\n\nThe food was mediocre (I ordered a vegetarian pasta dish with some boring vegetables) and the tap water had a very bad taste (I ordered bottled water which I normally would never do).",
"We arrived around 6:30 on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. The view was amazing. Started with the spinach and artichoke dip, it was good. The vegetable beef soup was delicious.The New York strip was average, nothing spectacular. The vegetables were fine, but my baked potato was a little undercooked. My fiancée had the blackened shrimp and said the seasoning was salty and overpowering. The service was good at the beginning of the night then became progressively worse throughout the meal. Overall it's overpriced for the food so mostly what you're paying for is the view, which was perfect around sunset.",
"Go for the view, and about nothing else. \n\nThis place is cool for sunset, you get a 360 degree view of oceanside St Pete as well as the bayside. The restaurant revolves, so your table will make a trip around the entire restaurant once every 2 hours or so. Food is not good, service is sporadic at best, but that view was worth it anyway. \n\nDrinks were nothing special, full service bar, drinks were $4 beers, $7 martinis and frozen drinks, some specialty drinks for $8. I'd stick to alcohol, food was crappy and takes forever because they cook it in the hotel's kitchen and then bring it up the elevator to the restaurant. So save some money and just get a little tipsy. \n\nThis place fills up for sunset, we got there about 630, sunset was at 715 and we were able to get a table on the revolving part for our group of 5 without a wait. \n\n\nSo like I said, come here for sunset, grab a few drinks and then go to a different place for dinner because the food and service leaves something to be desired.",
"I did not eat the food here, but stayed at the Grand Plaza hotel under it. The view is amazing and that is the only reason I give it 3 stars, but I did not eat here from reading the reviews. Also they cook the food down below and bring it up the elevator. Go for drinks and go to a place like snapper's sea grill for dinner. I really liked that place.",
"Just went to Spinners for some happy hour drinks and to watch the sunset. The top restaurant has a beautiful view of the beach and St. Pete area. The drinks were some of the best we had all week! Would definetly go back",
"Pay Per View dining\nBecause you're paying for the high in the sky view which on a nice day is pretty stunning. The outer edge of the dining room rotates completely around in 1.5 hours. Choose your seat accordingly. \nThe view of the Gulf and beach is interesting. On one hand, it's pretty plain- Water and Sand. But if you look closely, and ignore the drunken airhead birthday girls at the next table, you can watch the currents and tides move the surface of the water. Very interesting!\nThey also have signs for N,S,E,W that show distances to landmarks as you go past that direction. \n\nDrinks- They have tiki drinks, which seem moderately priced until you see that they're tiny and mostly ice. \n\nService- My guy was more of a used car salesman than a waiter. And not very good either. He should know how the fish is cooked for an item that's on the printed menu. I was watching him hesitate while deciding if he was going to bullshit the answer or not. He checked the description on the menu- yeah, no it's not on there. I looked. \n\nFood- Could have been worse. The kitchen is on the ground floor, and the restaurant is on the top, so the food has to travel by the same elevator that people take to the restaurant. This slows and cools things down a bit. \n\nTips\n- You can make a reservation, but you can't reserve the window. Hang out at the bar.\n- Only the outer ring of tables is rotating. If you sit anywhere else, your view stays the same, (except you see different people rotate past)\n- This isn't a tip so much as a warning. You will experience 2 minutes of hell when your table rotates past the prep and bar area in the back. There's no view and every server and busboy crashes into your table repeatedly every 4.2 seconds. I was on the verge of a homicidal rampage at the end of the 2 minutes of hell. \n- It's expensive, so make sure you get a good view. \n- Don't bother asking if you can pee off the top. The windows don't open.",
"The view is outstanding but everything fell off quckly after that. The food is prepared on the first floor and is transported in a shared guest elevator so that if the food arrives hot it is by pure luck. I was only about 1/3 finished with my soup and my wife had just started her salad when the entrees arrived. The waiter just left the plates on the table with the plastic plate covers on \"to keep them warm\". We had to try and remove the covers, move the plates around etc without spilling anything as the waiter never showed up again. The food of course was cold but at least it was expensive.",
"This restaurant has really incredible view of the golf as the name applies it really spins! This restaurant is not known for it's food it is all about the rotating view which let's you see all angles of St. Pete and beyond.\nThe food is average and the service is great and should be on the top of your list to take the kids because of it's unique experience. Every year we vacation at St. Pete and it is on my kids top favorite restaurants to go to here. Over all it is really cool.",
"Food was incredible! So glad it wasn't just a novelty. Went here for my engagement dinner and couldn't have been more pleased. The best clam chowder I've ever had."

"We were really surprised to find parking in their lot on a Busy Friday evening in Broad Ripple. Not a lot of diners but okay! I think this restaurant opened this week. I was totally looking forward to having a place to get my Thai fix close to home. I'll give this place another shot, with a minor adjustment. The service was friendly but a bit slow. The food arrived staggered. We waited on our son's food while we stared at ours. Artfully arranged! Oh! The straw paper rose in the Thai iced tea was impressive as well. The flavor was underwhelming. I had a vegetable soup with noodles. It tasted like half a packet of Top Ramen seasoning. Waaaah. I'd selected medium spice because it differs from place to place. (Medium at Sawasdee- my favorite- still has heat that I love.) I was starving so even though the broth and veggies lacked any kick I ate it all. The vegetables were fresh and placed nicely. The noodles cooked to perfection. The pad thai was underwhelming flavor wise but pretty. My son had the Royal Prawn dish and only ate half. To put things into perspective, I had just picked him up from college to visit for the weekend. He'd been excited to eat food other than cafeteria/fast food. He is also a bottomless pit. He didn't even take the food he chose not to eat home with him. He agreed that the seasoning was a bit off but everything else was nice about the dish. The food really is presented well and the garnish is super pretty. They're off to a great start but the flavor could be improved. Since they are new to the neighborhood I won't write them off. I'll choose maybe Thai spicy next time.",
"This place is great! We started with the lava tempura which was amazing! Then I had the pad thai and he pad kee mao, both delicious. We also had a Thai tea that was sweeter than I expected but still good. Finished with fried bananas! The atmosphere is nice, nothing too fancy, but you could bring a date here.",
"Have eaten here twice, once take out and once in restaurant. Good food both times. Try the tamarind duck and lard nah!! Excited to have this new place in BR!!",
"Got an order to-go from here. The Noodle soups are FANTASTIC! I highly highly recommend this place if you like asian noodle bowls. Great flavors, great ingredients and sizable portions.\n\nWhen I picked up my order I got a chance to look at the place and while they colored the walls and moved some things around, you still see Mediterra (the place that used to occupy this place) when you look around. Hopefully they keep up the constructions on the place and give it a very unique look.\n\nUntil then....I'll keep coming back for to-go orders of noodle bowls! Yum!",
"I was a bit disappointed after trying the food here. I got the seafood thom yum soup which is one of their specialties and it definitely had no resemblance to thom yum soup. It was extremely sweet and had a beef broth resemblance when it should've been a lemongrass soup. We also got the roasted red curry duck and that wasn't bad but it was a bit dry and lacking in flavor. I might give this place another try but It was definitely an bummer.",
"Where do you go and what do you eat after running 3.1 miles in 5 degrees weather with your best friends and running mates...You eat Thai of course. Actually we were aiming for brunch, but our brunch location had a 45 minute wait...so we chose the next best thing, Thai. The location was pretty, with cement floors and nice decor throughout. The restaurant was empty when we entered, but quickly filled up after about 15 minutes. I ordered basil friend rice medium heat, and it came with coconut soup. The soup was sweet, and hearty with bountiful amounts of chicken and vegetables, it was awesome, and a perfect item to warm up to after a cold run. The basil fried rice with shrimp was a hit among my friends. Everyone loved it, they got pad thai. The rice was spicy without being overbearing. The Thai basil added great flavor and the shrimp was plump and juicy. \n\nWith prompt service and flavorable dishes, Chiang Mai Thai Noodle is definetely worth another trip back.",
"Tried carry out only once on Friday at 7pm. First impression, skimpy on the ingredients and portions. She got the coconut soup with shrimp, small dinner portion, overly sweet, almost no heat and consisted of soup and shrimp. No other ingredients. Additionally, the rice which accompanied the soup was...rice mash. As my first go i tried to play it safe with pad thai. This consisted of the lightest coating of finely chopped veggies and herbs. Dime size chicken pieces, so overly cooked they turned to dust when pierced with my fork. It was terrible. Service was .. palatable. .",
"We had a great meal there last night. Three of us shared the Thai dumplings, fried duck, volcano shrimp and pad Thai. I would order any of them again with the exception of the dumplings (nothing special). A small, but nice wine selection that was reasonably priced. A better atmosphere than thai cafe and food is just as good. Hope it gets busier and stays open!",
"Ordered carry out this afternoon and the order was promptly ready within 10 minutes. They have a really broad menu and finally settled on Yum salad with beef and Pad See Ewe with pork - both medium high heat. The Yum salad had a very tasty refreshing dressing with subtle heat. The Pad See Ewe was one of the best Thai noodle dishes we've had. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the sauce was the right combo of sweet and spicy. Portions were large and prices reasonable. Will definitely add this place to our carry out rotation and explore more of the menu!",
"Came here for lunch. I am a little disappointed that there isn't a dedicated lunch menu as the portions are very big. Of course eating it again later in the week is always something to look forward to. Although it was a little more than I wanted to spend for lunch ($24.00- no beverage s, does not include tip).I had the pad Thai and my husband had the beef stew soup. Both were delicious! I am only sorry I didn't ask for medium heat rather than mild but not having been here before I didn't want it to be too hot. The service was great and the restaurant has a lot of atmosphere."

"I'm usually a little hesitant when it comes to street vendors and food, but for some reason, there's a \"no holds barred\" attitude in New Orleans...that's my excuse anyway! Lucky Dogs are awesome - there's a cart on most Bourbon St. corners and you know those chili dogs hit the spot after a night of fun and debauchery. Love it!",
"Just like the Cafe Du Monde beignets, frozen daiquiris, and live music, Lucky Dog carts are a staple in New Orleans.\n\nHighlights:\n- Easy to find: look for the big cart in the shape of a hot dog \n- Quick late night eats: stop at one on your way back after partying on bourbon\n- Pretty tasty: surprisingly good\n- Chili is a topping available: always a plus\n\nLowlights (my flip side to highlights):\n- Everyone knows hot dogs aren't the healthiest things to be eating, but hey, you're on vacation!\n\nAlong with my Camellia Grill omelet, Mango Mango pizza, Cafe Du Monde beignets, Lucky Dog's are a fave New Orleans late night snack.",
"I browsed lots of New Orleans reviews and had to add my review to this. I was in New Orleans/French Quarter twice for New Year's Eve into 2000 and 2001! Lucky Dogs are just a great thing in the French Quarter! Just your basic hot dog but we loved them! Not the most glamorous but when are hot dogs fancy? Just try one!",
"It's 4am, you're hammered, you're hungry... find one of these carts on Bourbon St. and get a loaded up dog (chili is a must)! Damn good dog! The next morning you'll thank me... or maybe not.",
"Beads? Check!\nGet down early for 3-for-1 specials Check!\nHurricane? Check! \nBody Shots from shot girl boobs? Check! \nBig Ass Beer? Check!\nMore boobs? Check!\nHand Grenade? Check!\nRequest Journey from cover band? Check!\nMore beer-hurricanes-drinks... Chhheeettthhh!\nOK time for a Lucky Dog... Check.\n\nThis seems like the typical tourist session on Bourbon and the Lucky Dog has found it's way in that practice. I'm not a fan of dirty water dogs on the street but when you serve it up with enough onions and chili and your taste buds have been thrashed by liquor everything is good... Yes, I had one but I'd rather grab a gyro or late night po boy. One extra star for convenience being on every other corner on Bourbon.",
"Oh my god! The stand in the shape of a hot dog is the best part! It made me smile every time I saw one. Finally, after drinking my weight in margaritas, I had one. I took over that stand. I think that's my new calling, serving up dogs. \n\nI loaded that thing up - onions, mustard, got it all over my face but none on my white shirt. Impressive. But really, the guy working will forever have a special place in my heart.\n\nAfter, not so fun. I burped that thing the rest of the night and the next day.",
"If you like your sausage (tube steak) boiled in water of questionable origin (storm drain run off), and served up by a local character of note (homeless man), then Lucky Dog (run, run and don't look back) is your place (place of gastrointestinal distress)! Granted, after ____ (insert number) of Hurricanes and Budweisers (Redneck Lite), your impaired judgement (munchies) will probably lead you to a Lucky Dog, whether you read this or not.",
"Maybe I'm a brave soul, but I don't mind eating off/at street vendors, and this was the same case as Lucky Dogs. They are apparently a New Orleans/French Quarter institution and on several corners in the area. \n\nMy other half got Krystal Burger that evening, and I went for the Lucky Dog. When I approached, one of the vendors friends sized me up, and said, \"You want a Lucky Dog with chili and mustard, don't you?\". Not knowing any better, I said, \"Sure! Sounds good!\". \n\nThe result was actually pretty decent, but I was surprised with the price at ~$6, and then the vendor asked for a tip. Strange ... I'm not getting that much service and you expect a tip? \n\nBe careful if you get one with chili, cause they do put a bit on and can end up on your clothes. Not like I'm saying that happened to me, or anything. ;-)",
"I'm sure they still talk about it to this day. \n\nMy girlfriend (who one day would become my wife) waltzing in the lobby of the Ritz Carlton at 2 in the morning holding a Lucky Dog packed with the works, chili dripping down the sleeve of her coat and yelling out \"This is sooooo good!\". She's one classy woman isn't she? \n\nIn her defense, these hot dogs are a serious dog dawg. Cheap and readily available on every street corner on Bourbon Street they are the certain cure for any pending hangover. \n\nAnd just in case you didn't get enough, there is a Lucky Dog cart in the gate area of the airport. Request \"extra onions\", the person seated next to you on the plane will really appreciate it.",
"I would not touch one of those things unless the vendor looked like Ignatious."

"Went to the Pines last night for apps and drinks - mussels and stuffed mushrooms - really good and only $6.95 each! AND two craft drafts now! Awesome. Can't wait to try the new chambers burger!",
"A great neighborhood bar that I've never had a bad experience at.\nServers are attentive, but not overbearing - great beer offerings for their size and the food seems to get better every time I go there (And it started out really good too!)\n\nKaraoke night's a blast, they've got nice big screen tv's to watch the game on - and the high hat tables give you a nice bar feel if you can't squeeze a stool at the bar proper.",
"Went here last night for drinks and dinner after seeing a play in Bristol. We needed somewhere that would still be serving dinner after 10, and fortunately this place had an ad in the program talking about late night specials, so we took the short drive and gave it a try. Some of the best wings I have ever had! I also had a roast pork club sandwich that made for 2 incredibly satisfying meals. $10 pitchers. We were there on karaoke night and I have been to TONS of karaoke nights - this was one of the best. Good selection of songs and everyone in the place was into it.",
"A fantastic neighborhood pub! Every time I go, I am not disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly but not overbearing. The food is outstanding! They have a great beer selection as well.\n\nThere are always some delicious, well-thought out specials! Great job!",
"GREAT food. I wouldn't have thought they would have food the way they do here! Full of flavor and very unique! Could have been a 5 star review but here is why I gave it 3. 1. They don't take credit cards! I understand CC fees are high but most people nowadays don't use cash anymore! I had to go across the street to Wawa and get cash out! They have an ATM but I didn't want to use the fees with it. 2. They charge for take out! I didn't see anywhere on the menu stating they charge for take out! They charged me 75 cents extra! WTF???? I mean come on really? I know prices go up and all but at least put it on the menu or raise the prices up to cover costs! 3. They were out of the 2 items I wanted! The Pinnacle sand, and the pork belly! Both sounded really good! I got the basil meatballs. They were good but I wouldn't get them again. Thai peanut wings. They were awesome great flavor on the sauce! Burger. Good meat flavor. I think they should serve fries with it though (they charge for toppings, lettuce etc). I would come back here in a heartbeat but not often since they charge 75 cents for takeout! I may come here to eat in though with some people!",
"Went here last night and never EVER again. We ordered burgers and a pork sandwich and it took over 1.5 hours. 1.5 hours for sandwiches???...The waitress was very apologetic and couldn't be nicer about it but the cook didn't seem to care how long we sat there. People that came in after us sat at the bar and got their food before us. Seems they cater to the regulars and couldn't care less about new customers. Oh and we live in Bristol and if it went well we could have become regulars ourselves. It took so long we had to get everything to go. To boot, my boyfriend was sick all night from the pork sandwich.",
"Great food. Good drinks! Just wish the wings were more reasonably priced. A pound of wings for $11 and there wasn't many. I was still hungry. The famous wing place at 5 points is less expensive, bigger wings and after 6 I'm full. \nThe pork chop and the South Philly were excellent!",
"Excellent food, great selection of beer and friendly staff. Don't go to The Pines if you're looking for \"fast food.\" Everything is cooked fresh and made to order so be patient! It is always well worth the wait! We eat (at or from) here several times each week and are never disappointed. I have had almost everything on the menu, and love it all!!",
"Recently stopped for lunch and to catch the Christmas parade. I ordered the gourmet wings expecting the same greatness I experienced last time only to be thoroughly disappointed. Way too hot, none of the savoriness of last time...they didn't remotely taste like the last ones I enjoyed. Mentioned it to the bar maid but alas she is not the cook. No uniformity in the kitchen between differing cooks.",
"I've started coming here because the Dog and Bull has become way, way too popular lately and I can't even get in. I need a place to go to kick back with good company and some beers! Luckily, the Pines is just right down the street and has a full menu, full bar and is full of decent people, too. A nice crowd. Late 20s, 30s+ is what you'll find here. \n\nThe food here is okay! It's not all your standard bar food. They have spicy shrimp in thai peanut sauce over brown rice. It wasn't bad. They have wings, meatloaf, flatbreads...a nice variety. I'm not really a huge fan of their beer selection, but that's probably because I'm a craft beer snob and that's my issue, not theirs. I recommend it here."

"Jack Patrick's down in actual St. Louis city or rather downtown is a nice little bar to go to in order to enjoy some beer and if you fee like it, play some pool. Each time that I have walked in there I have always expected to run into Minnesota Fats hustling a game of pool of some poor fellow. Inside the bar lines the back wall with a row of people sitting and waiting on their drinks to be served up. Pool tables fill the floor with tables, where people sit, waiting their turn to scratch.\n\nMost of the time my friends and I come here to meet up with our friends who are pool-playing junkies. The people you see who walk around with their own pool cue. But I on the other hand, just enjoy the company of the people I am with and my drink. The other patrons are just as friends and are will always join in a polite game of pool.\n\nJack Patrick's is a nice way to spend an evening with friends.",
"This is a cheap gem nestled in downtown's more expensive night scene. There's plenty of pool tables for the crowd looking for things to do, as well as a large shuffle board table. I've ordered a burger there once or twice (from the window in the back) , but I generally go there for a beer after work.\n\n Apparently, there's a pool hall downstairs, but I've never been brave enough to go down there. The thing is, Jack Patrick's is one of downtown's dive bars, but it's a good one... On second thought, can a place be called a dive bar if there's outdoor seating?\n\nAnyway, try it out. It's a good place to kick off the party night without destroying your wallet.",
"Good dive bar in the heart of downtown.\n\nBefore a Cardinal game there's no reason to pay ballpark prices at the hellholes like Patty O's an Al Hrabosky's. Just gut a bucket of bottle beers with your friends and have a good time. Always a decent crowd in there: even on non-baseball nights.",
"Great prices on beer (bucket of 8 for $18), decent burgers. Only complaint was that this is a place where when you come in for the first time, you're bound to feel like a dork as you understand protocol (order food from the kitchen window, toss your empties in the trash barrels that are spread throughout the place, etc.)\n\nAnd they have Keno running, which is always a fun way to blow money while drinking.",
"Jack Patrick's is a nice little neighborhood bar, located in downtown St. Louis. It's your average bar offering the standard mainstream products and they also have a kitchen in the back corner where you can order from the window and they will bring it out to your table. If you are looking for micro-brews and a large selection of imports, then this is not the place for you. If you are just looking for a cheap beer, some wings and a game of pool or to watch a game, then this is the place to go. \n\nThe atmosphere at Jack Patrick's is casual and laid-back. There are some TV screens for sports viewing, lotto and keno monitors, pool tables, darts, a shuffleboard table and a couple of video games like golf. A jukebox is also available to play music. JP's has an interesting mix of people from office workers to pool sharks to downtown residents. It's a very laid-back place which is a refreshing alternative to most of the other options along Washington Avenue.\n\nIn the summer time, its an ideal place to meet before or after a baseball game as it about a 10-15 minute walk from Busch Stadium and isn't as packed as the other drinking holes right next to the stadium. \n\nThe kitchen does close early, and I'm not sure of the exact times, but last Friday night, the closed it at 10pm. Also they do not allow take away which I don't like since I live so close to it and would like to brings some wings home on the rare occasion. The other negative is that they are usually not open on Sundays, but maybe during baseball season...I can't remember.\n\n4 out of 5 stars for the laid-back atmosphere, and cheap drinks and food",
"I've gone to Jack Patrick's on many occasions before or after Blues/Rams/Cardinals games. It's properly positioned equidistant from each stadium, but not close enough where you can't find cheap or free parking, which makes this a perfect place to meet before or after games. And as David B pointed out, they don't increase prices on game days like Hrabosky's or Shannon's. Although it can get crowded, it never feels overwhelming like the aformentioned bars. \n\nI almost decided NOT to put my review in for this place... don't you like those places that seem like they are your little hidden gem? Nobody seems to know about this place. And it's a 3am bar!\n\nIf the bar is crowded, my recommendation is to order buckets. They provide a per-beer discount and you won't find yourself cramped between people in the small space by the bar. You have to get your food from a different concession-stand like window by the juke-box. They give you a number and bring out the food when it's ready. The wings, fried cheese cubes, and garlic chicken pizza are good. Especially when you're in the midst of getting your drink on. \n\nThey have the standard Keno service which can be a fun time waster, and plenty of arcade games and pool tables. \n\nTip: There are paper cups at the bar if you need to take your soda or iced-tea (wink wink) with you on the way to the game. \n\nTheir Facebook page states that they are closed on Sunday except when there's a home Rams or Cardinals game. However if the game is early, you still won't be able to meet/drink there before the game. Trust me, I've been at the corner of 10th and Olive at 11am many a Sunday summer mornings scratching my head wondering where to go.\n\nHa ha! Yelp just asked me if this place has a coat check. Hell no!",
"MMM. Yum! Went here for the first time after the Elite Yelp event last night. \n\nEverything I tried was fantastic. The fried cheese bites and chicken wings were SUPER tasty. \n\nBut oh my, the star of the show for me was the amaaazing burger. I had the bacon and cheese burger, and woah. Heaven! The soft English cheddar was delicious, and the bacon was so so yummy. The burger wasn't cooked as I requested (it was well done when I ordered it medium), but it was still juicy and flavorful (how did they DO that?!?!) The fries that came with the burger was some of the best I've had in St. Louis. Salty, greasy, and delicious. \n\nDrinks were pretty cheap if you ask me! I had a Sex on the Beach that was delicious, and I usually don't enjoy that drink. Andy ordered a rum and coke. The total for both of our drinks? 8 bucks. Not bad! \n\nThe bar does allow smoking, but on this particular night, it wasn't bothersome to me. That's always a plus. \n\nThere's a shuffleboard table and Keno to keep you busy, if you're into that sort of thing. \n\nAnother thing (a lot of people already touched on this, but I'll repeat it!) -- there are no waiters here. You order your food at a window, you get a number to place on your table, and the food is brought out to you. Easy peasy! \n\nThis might be my new favorite downtown bar. I'm thinking about that burger right now, actually. Mmm.",
"Went to Jack Patrick's on Friday night for a few beers and some food with a few friends. The place was pretty busy for 8 pm (though it is HUGE inside) so we grabbed all of the seats at the bar. They had a decent tap selection (Smithwick's, Guinness, Schlafly Pale Ale, and Schlafly Wheat along with a few others) and a full tub full of AB bottles. I saw a lot of buckets of beer ordered from those tubs. \n\nBar service was attentive and they don't have to get distracted by food service since you order that from a window on the side of the bar. We stuck with some plain chicken fingers and fries that were great...I'd definitely like to try the burgers next time because I've heard those are the best things on the menu.\n\nI'll be back to Jack Patrick's to check out the shuffleboard table, grab a few more beers, and just hang out.",
"Another great experience after visiting this weekend. Plainly put, this is a very relaxed bar, that gets busy without being annoyingly crowded. There's plenty to do with the mix of arcade games, shuffleboard, a jukebox, and keno. \n\nThe beer is cold, and can be ordered at a discount in buckets. The food is good. The burgers, wings, fried cheese all are consistently good. After ordering from the window by the jukebox, you are provided a sign with a number and they bring the food to you. I think someone stole all the good numbers. I used to always get #5 or #29 as tribute to current Cardinal stars, but those are gone now. All that's left are football numbers. Oh well. \n\nIf it is nice outside, you can sit outside, although the patio is limited to 4 tables on the sidewalk. \n\nSee you soon JP's... It's Cardinal season, and my pregame party always starts here.",
"I'd passed by Jack Patrick's many times without ever stepping a food in the place. And, just looking at the outside I thought it was a hole in the wall tiny place. Man, was I wrong. It was huge on the inside!\n\nWe sidled up to the bar and got fairly fast, though a little brusque, service and ordered some tap beers and asked for some menus. You order at a side window where you pay and they give you a number on a stick (to identify you later). Food service was quick, which made sense as the menu mostly consisted of bar food. Our chicken finger order was hot and good...AND cheap (the best part).\n\nThere is a weird sort of ambiance in the place, which gives it character, and it appears that it could be a great happy hour place since its so big that it might not be packed. For this visit, it was OK, but I definitely want to come back and spend a happy hour here and try out the games, etc. (and hopefully boost it up to 4 stars)."

"As far as airport food goes, this place is pretty good. \n\nBut as far as food you should eat before getting locked in a flying metal cylinder where your access to the bathroom can be rescinded or restricted, this isn't the food for you.\n\nSo for food I've eaten in an airport, I gave it five stars. \nFor food I would eat before getting locked in a plane for two hours, this gets one star.\nDo the average (5+1=6/2=3) and you get three stars.\n\nI hadn't eaten all day. It was a hassle getting to the airport and through lines from Reno because other Phoenix dwellers couldn't cope with being under 50*, so I needed to put something in my stomach before flying. \n\nReno's airport is all in pieces right now, so much so they had to hire an \"airport bear\" to pose for photos telling me that the place was in shambles. As such, no \"brand name\" food, just local stuff. \n\nI slammed a slice of pepperoni and a redbull, just enough to keep the rotors spinning to get me home for a real dinner in Phoenix. This might have been an error.\n\nIf you have a sensitive tummy, and are just about to get in a plane, this might not be the best life choice for you. I know I, and by proxy anyone else who used the bathroom on that plane, paid for the convenience of Wild Garlic with several rancid trips to the skybound potty.",
"Great food as far as the airport goes. Prices are a little steep, but employees are friendly and efficient. Grab a slice and a beer - it's better than anything you can get on board.",
"I believe this is the first time I am giving a \"restaurant\" at an airport 5 stars!! Reason... huge smiles on everyone's face and great service which was great to see early in the morning. Definitely made me smile. Oh and the food was pretty good. I had the Reno quiche which hit the spot.",
"Tried a slice of the pepperoni pizza, it was good sized and it cost me more than $5. But I was starving and it was okay. Dough doesnt taste fresh though, but its a nice sweet flavor to it. It would be nice if there was more toastyness to the top of the slice. Staff friendly and good humored. Will visit if I am starving again, overall I dont buy much airport food, the freshness really isn't there whenever I eat at an airport!",
"This pizza is pretty tasty! Loving all the extra crust (I'm a crust lover). It was warm enough for me being on warming tray for awhile (they asked if I wanted it warmed up, I said no). The BQ garlic chicken was for sure garlicky, but will do again when passing through here in Sept.",
"Disappointing on a lot of levels. I wanted to love this place as there was a long period of anticipation waiting for them to open and really I prefer to support local neighborhood places.\nFirst, the positive: it is a cozy space, exposed brick wall behind the bar, open airy feel in a nice old neighborhood.Very casual and cute.\nVery good amber Red Rocket brew and a few other beers that sounded good. Small selection, though.\nBut then... No wine other than the \"house wine\" and our server had no clue what it was other than\" red and white\". Really, no decent wine???\nThe \"free Tuesday anchovies\" we're also unavailable- because we hadn't ordered them with our food.\nThen, our pizza order was somehow devoured by their inept computer system so after sitting there for 15-20 minutes our server came over and said our order had just \"that moment\" been processed and it would be at least another 15- 20 minutes before we might see food. Everyone in the entire restaurant,including those that had arrived at least 15 -20 minutes AFTER us was already eating. I guess only our order had vanished.\nThey did comp us each a beer for the excessive wait. \nPizza finally arrived- very doughy,thick crust and very scant toppings.The taste was good but overall everything was so weak in so many ways that it's doubtful we'll return.",
"Decent pizza. A little pricey. its in an airport so what do you expect?",
"Airport food typically sucks but Wold Garlic at the Reno-Tahoe Airport is becoming a tradition for me. Surrounded by pre-made and bake off options like La Brea bakery and Tahoe Tap House, it's nice to see Wild Garlic forming dough and making pizzas.\n\nThe only reason they get 3 stars is the service format. It's by the slice and the volume doesn't allow them to turn over pies fast enough to keep it as fresh as I'd like it.",
"Breakfast pizza! And not the kind of pizza for breakfast you find leftover and cold, stuck to the coffee table. No, this is much better than THAT kind of breakfast pizza. I had the Ionian, they reheat it which I wasn't thrilled about but it turned out fine. The crust was actually pretty awesome despite that quick re-baked. Egg and cheese on crust FTW!",
"Quiche was mediocre at best. The service was good. like the other reviewers said, it is the airport."

"Total disaster. I was excited all day! I was so pleased when I got there and it was busy, not a ghost town as I had feared. The long lines didn't scare me! Until after waiting in line, and being almost at the front, the truck I was waiting at ran out of food. Oh no. And then the next truck is out of food too. Oops. And it is only 7:30, and this event goes til 10? Yikes! What an unfortunate fail. Good thing my roommate and I can cook and have a stocked bar, because tonight certainly called for plan B.",
"I was also a little dismay that a couple of truck ran out of food around 7:45pm. Less than an hour after the event started. These truck vendor must not watch Tyler Florence's The Great Food Truck Race, the supermarket is only a block away people. Go restock and cook again, there's money to be made here and tons of people lining up for food. \n\nOther than that though, the event is pretty much a success since there were so many people coming out. I think next time there should at least be people selling other artifacts like candles or specialty food items. I was glad for the music and the liveliness, I was glad for an event happening in the middle of a boring week. The oxtail stew and potato salad I got was wonderful, so is the fried fish sandwich. It's disappointing that all the taco truck ran out of food so early, but be sure that I will be there again next time an event like this occur.",
"disappointing.\n\nmaybe i wouldn't have been disappointed if i hadn't been under the impression it was going to be more like a farmers market, not basically just a bunch of long lines to a bunch of lunch trucks. i got there late, thinking it goes until 10 and my friends inform me that if the food hasn't run out, then it'll be an hour wait for me. no thanks. \n\nit had a lot of potential to be cool, there was music and i saw a lot of people i knew. but there was nothing to do but stand in line or stand around.\n\nmeh.",
"Well it was obviously a success even know the website was just about the most annoying website ever. An invite? How about just posting all of your info on one page instead of falling in love with your graphic? It was poorly laid out as the lines extended into the common areas. All of the popular trucks were sandwiched next to each other, creating a cluster f-ck. All you heard was \"excuse me, excuse me, excuse me\". The food was really good. Oxtail was incredible and Jimmie's cupcakes were really tasty and warm! I suggest using a wider street in the spring, or lay it out differently. One of the things the truck owners could have done is set up a table behind their truck to sell their products twice as fast. Also, you smokers, is it really necessary to smoke a cig in such a tight crowd? damn! \n\np.s. some port-o-potties would have been nice.",
"I'm pretty much with everyone else on this one - kind of a disappointment. I had a good time, but the Night Market itself didn't have too much to do with it. It was nice to enjoy a comfortable fall evening with friends and people watch with all of the cool people and to have my second helping of Capogiro of the day, but it was disappointing. \n\nIt was the first Night Market, so there's obviously some kinks to be worked out, and it was obviously advertised a little too well and the extra week to spread the word about it probably didn't help much either. The lines were so long, the food ran out fast, the ceviche was a little small and it seemed a little pricey and unsubstantial and I dropped one of my shrimp!, and the crowd, while lively, was oblivious and desperate. The stands and trucks were grossly unprepared for the amount of people that showed up. Hopefully these problems get worked out by the next one.\n\nSome idiot girl (hey, idiot girl, truth hurts) came up to me while I was enjoying my plum & bluecoat gin/pistachio gelato and was like \"is the Capogiro free?\", as if she and her friend were floating through the crowd looking for free stuff. \"What? Uh, no, nothing's free.\" Come on. Night MARKET. It's built into the title. Come on.\n\nEither way, this was kind of a bust, but I still look forward to the next Night Market.",
"Lots of potential here, but a lack of preparation for the insane crowds that came out meant many folks went away hungry. \n\nThis event -- which I heartily hope will return to East Passyunk again in a more robust form, with lots and lots more vendors -- was just a victim of its own outsized buzz. Bloggers, the Twitterati and every hungry hipster in the vicinity came out, with their dogs and babies. I laughed out loud when I saw the line for tacos -- you can walk two blocks in any direction from Passyunk & Tasker and get 3 for $5. \n\nHopefully the Food Trust learned they need to scale this event up if they actually want to feed anyone. The interest is certainly there!",
"Great idea. Poorly executed. \n\nI stopped by to try some food, unfortunately the lines were extremely long. I was under the impression that I could just swing by and grab something quick for dinner... I guess that everyone had the same idea?\n\nI hope that this happens again with a better system setup. I'd really like to try some of the food that I wasn't able to enjoy :(",
"I could just copy and paste the majority of the reviews into this box, but I guess I will share my experience first hand.\n\nAt first, I thought it was a farmers market. I texted my friend asking her what time we should go so I knew when to cook dinner and she told me to hold off dinner - I was going to get stuffed at this event.\n\nShe was dead wrong.\n\nWhen we arrived around 7:30 we found it super packed. Long long times, tight crowds, lots of dogs and babies. We circled the event trying to pick out which line we were going to devote our entire night to standing in, and decided on the Jamaican truck. After an hour of standing in line, and having other line go-ers friends casually jip us, we finally made it to the front to order only to have the vendor announce they were out of all of my meal options.\n\nSo you know what I had for dinner the evening of Night Market? A bag of chips from CVS.\n\nThis event had it's potential. But I guess they were not counting on the ridiculous horde of hungry people. Most trucks were placing \"SOLD OUT\" signs just as we were arriving. There were very few vegetarian/vegan options... (actually, don't believe any food vendors had vegan options). Hopefully next time they will be able to work out their kinks.",
"Terrible. Overrun with pretentious yuppies, babies and dogs. No point in standing in line for small portions that are overpriced. I left and had dinner elsewhere. Good idea, terrible execution.",
"I showed up late to night market around 9:20 after just getting out of work incredibly tired and hungry. After seeing the lines for tacos and sandwiches (the only trucks that were serving real food) I turned around walked south towards home and got a sandwich at FUEL. \nLiving in this neighborhood I was surprised to see so many people walking around taking pictures so excited to eat from a food truck. Food Trust will have to step it up a notch and next go-around I will show up excited to taste rather than expectant to get a meal."

"Stopped in to check out the new spot in town, service was on point, bartenders were prompt and personable (not to mention adorable). We ate some Parmesan potatoes as an appetizer, tai BBQ chicken and filet mignon for our dinner. Great value and was delicious. Female manager made sure to check on us and also got the world baseball classic on in seconds after my request! Courtney made a delicious blackberry sangria! Conor also made a mean jack and coke! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu and meet the rest of the crew! Cheers!",
"First time here since the change. Food was fair- meat and cheese platter very good, French onion soup not. Cheese steak was very good, wedge salad not. The service was quite bad. Very slow and our credit card was used to pay the wrong check. Overall it was ok, I'll give it another try before the final verdict.",
"What a nice addition to Hatboro! Stopped in to watch a little March Madness with my husband and a friend and wound up staying for 2 games, dinner and drinks. We sat at the bar and shared a mushroom pizza, an order of mussels in red and buffalo wings. Everything was delicious...the mussels were small and tender, the pizza was very tasty and the wings were great. Hats off to the servers, especially our bartender, Lindsey. Great selection of craft beers and the best Old Fashioned I've ever head!",
"Went to watch March Madness and grab some dinner. Loved everything about this place. The atmosphere, the food, and last but not least our bartender Lindsey who was a pleasure. She was not only very friendly, she was knowledgeable when I inquired about different drinks. Would recommend it and I definitely give it 5 stars.",
"Went to the soft opening of this restaurant and it was AMAZING!!! Definitely will be going back again and soon.",
"Had a excellent office lunch today. Melissa was a great contact person and made sure everything was on point. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable as well. Great to see the changes inside too... great new option in the area!",
"Was looking forward to this spot opening, and it doesn't disappoint. Service was a tad slow, which I think is normal for a new restaurant. But the manager came over and apologized, comped our appetizer. Looking forward to going back.",
"My party wanted to try somewhere new to spend a Saturday evening, so we decided on this place. It also happened to be the first night since opening that they were accepting reservations. We arrived 15 minutes early and even though there were plenty of tables open we were still made to wait. We were then escorted to the wrong table and had to come back to the front to wait again. We were finally sat at the right table and took longer then normal to get our drinks and we had to ask a few times for water. We never even received our appetizer that we ordered so we canceled it. Our waitress only came back a couple times throughout the evening as well. We waited over an hour for our food, and came to find out our ticket had ben messed up and was plated incorrectly. All they could offer us was a couple free drinks. Meanwhile all the tables around us came, ate, and left and we were still sitting there. We are understanding people and can appreciate facilities trying new things, but we felt that our server didn't care about making us happy and did nothing to see if we needed anything.\n\nI can't speak for the rest of my party, but my burger was actually very good and I enjoyed eating it. I would give this place another try at some point but maybe during lunch hours.",
"Absolutely terrible! Bar tender took forever to acknowledge us, I had to wave my hands criss cross literally. Four bartenders were working all neither one of them asked us if we needed anything or made eye contact with us. We asked for a food and drink menu, 20 mins later neither if the four bartenders came to ask us if we wanted to order anything. I walked out and explained this to the hostess who stood there speechless. The customer service was the worst I've ever experienced. I would never go back there.",
"Came here twice since the change to Bernies - both for dinner. First time 3 of us (two huge guys) were sat at a tiny little 2-top in a corner until we asked for a bigger table. Service was slow. Drinks took forever. Food was phenomenal. The parmesan potatoes are addicting. We had the filet, fish and chips, and beef bowl, along with the potatoes and mussels. The drinks, especially red sangria and jalapeno grapefruit paloma were fabulous. Came again and grabbed drinks at the bar while waiting for a table. Service was again sooooo slowwwwww. Not especially friendly bartenders, but decent. It took (no joke) 10 minutes to make an espresso martini, longer than our wait time so i ended up standing at the bar only to immediately close out. Gotta be faster than that. The thai chicken breast and rice entree was $16 for a small thin piece of chicken, and rice that tasted like it came out of a bag. I've had great dinners there, so that was a miss, but I'll be back. MGMT: please take into account the reviews about customer service and slow service. we REALLY want you to succeed!!"

"Just got back from my first visit to Kabob House on Emerald and Maple Grove. Great place! The spices are different from what I've tried before.. not hot, but pleasantly warm and subtle. Not as strong as Indian food. \n\nI had the chicken kabobs (served without kabob stick), and a house salad with very simple but tasty dressing.. olive oil, lemon juice, some spices. There was a sort of guacamole sauce for the chicken pieces. The sauce didn't taste like Mexican guacamole (which I also like), but had its own flavor. It was good. \n\nI tried some of my relative's dishes. I forget the name of what my mom had, but it was rather good.. a bowl of chicken and sauce with some bismati rice. My dad had ground beef kabobs and rice. The salad I had was quite large for a side salad. My mom tried the Persian rice pudding and quite liked it. We were all pleased. \n\nPrices.. $10-$12 for most items on the menu. The food portions are not very large. I'm a big guy, 6'3\" and 210 lbs. If I hadn't had some of my relatives' food besides what I'd ordered, I still would have been hungry. But for most people, the portion sizes should be big enough. The price is worth it for the uniqueness of the food. \n\nSome nice decorations, rather interesting music, good service. Very pleasant. Great place for a date, I think. \n\nI was told there's a buffet from 11-2, and the cost is $9.99. That sounds awesome! \n\nI'll definitely be back.. and hopefully soon.",
"I tried out this place for dinner. I went in on a Sunday night, thinking I'd probably be the only one there. Surprisingly, there were a couple of families there already. The decor in this place is beautiful; there are lovely embroidered pictures above the seats, and in front of the windows, there are some seats surrounding hookahs. I'm not sure if the hookahs are functional (probably not, given Boise's anti-smoking law), but they add a very nice touch to the place. They're placed a little lower on the floor, which brings back fond memories of dining in Japan, and it really gives that ethnic feel. The seating stools are very colorful with embroidered details.\n\nI ordered Sambusas to start, you get three with the order. They are very well sized (read: huge) and served with a spicy green sauce. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Then I ordered the Combo Kabob with chicken and lamb. The server came back a few minutes later and said they were out of the boneless, and asked if I would be okay with the tandoori chicken, which had bones, which was fine to me. When it came to me, it was very good. Both meats were cooked well and were very tender. I ordered the naan with it; not the best naan I've had, it was dry. After that, I ordered the Galub Jumin, which was excellent! I've had many versions of this Indian dessert, and this one had the best doughnut feeling of them all. \n\nI love how this place combines several elements of Indian, Afghan and Mediterranean cuisine. There is something here for everyone to enjoy. Even if you're bringing someone who is a picky eater or not adventurous, they can easily pick the kabobs while you have curry. I will definitely try out the lunch buffet.\n\nKabob House also has great prices. I ordered an appetizer, entree, dessert and a drink and my pre-tip amount was still under $20. \n\nThe only reason I didn't give this place a full 5 stars is because 1.) I had to ask for a refill, 2.) the naan was too dry to enjoy. My biggest pet peeve is the servers not refilling on a normal basis. Other than that, great place! I will be back and I'd love to sit with my friends around the hookah.",
"The food was very good. The chicken kabob was among the best I have had in America. Their \"dogh\", yoghurt, drink was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant!",
"Lovely service, amazing food.\n\nIt's very easy to overcook meat, especially when it's not in a sauce. In fact, overcooking meat is kind of standard in many Boise restaurants. \n\nNot so at Kabob House, where food is delicately cooked and deliciously marinated. Dipping sauces are bright and lovely. Even the rice was lightly seasoned and perfectly cooked (too often it's over- or undercooked as well). \n\nI had the mixed kabob--lamb and a beef, both perfect and tender. My dad had curry, which was a different kind of curry as I've had elsewhere. More like a curry gravy. Not as good as the kabobs, but still tasty.\n\nAtmosphere is tasteful and evokes the middle east. You barely remember you're in a strip mall. Our server was very attentive and sweet without being overbearing. I'll be back!",
"This is the way Mediterranean food should taste in the states. My husband and I went for dinner on a Friday night and it was pretty quiet. The waitress was attentive and very helpful in explaining the menu. We ordered a potato appetize, chicken kabobs and chicken tikka masala for our main course. The food was amazing! I'm incredibly picky about the quality of my food and I wanted to lick my plate. We can't wait to try the lunch buffet!",
"Pretty fly!\n\nI've eaten a ton of afghan food throughout the US. This is good, especially for boise. I'm not going to wax on about how delicious the scrumtious sultry meat pieces tasted after they had been fully masticated.....and stuff.\n\nIt's good. It's tasty. They can cook lamb medium rare. 7 day a week buffet with many vegetarian options for $10. Done/over. Go and eat.",
"Great service and great food. Lamb ribs are fantastic!",
"It was my birthday at the end of May and I decided that I wanted to go try out the Kabob House (on Maple Grove and Emerald) for my birthday meal -- what a good decision it was! \n\nI was with a party of nine and we were warmly greeted by the great staff and pleasant atmosphere. The Kabob House provides truly authentic Middle Eastern food and is a true delight to eat there. \n\nI have eaten in a number of places in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East -- as well as different parts of the USA -- and I must say this was firstly the best meal of 2013 and one of the better meals I have had in a long time. \n\nThe food was wonderful, full of flavor, and cooked to how I specified. We ordered \"family style\" and shared several dishes. The Kabob was good -- but the entree's were the highlight. Adequate portions and good value for food and service. \n\nI even received a free order of baklava since it was my birthday. It was as good as the baklava I have had in Europe and the Middle East. \n\nAs a new restaurant in Boise, I hope people hear about it and help others hear about it as well - it is well worth the visit! \n\nFantastic food, great service, good atmosphere, friendly staff!",
"This is a really new place, so it seems a little unfinished. The food is good, exotic, and reasonably priced. I dig the low red couches, but haven't been seated there yet. Try the lamb. I grill all the time, but they do a better job than I do!!",
"This is one of my favorite new spots...I love how authentic the food and atmosphere is...there is some old reminders of past restaurants but all in all a great place. I tried the chicken tikka masala...yumm! Just enough spice to remind you that you are alive! All of the staff including the ladies in the back are mediterranean, reminds me of an old grandma cooking for the family, straight awesome! Fyi...lunch buffet is thursday-friday for 8.99/person. Go try it...you won't be dissapointed!"

"I had my first experience with Franklin Juice Company in the Factory, Franklin today. It was delicious and refreshing. I look forward to stopping in again to try another flavor. If you're in Franklin and looking for a healthy snack or meal, give them a try.",
"Phenomenal place for all high quality juice ingredients. Their bowls, with so many yummy options, are seriously amazing! \n\nBest place by far in the Nashville area, bar none in Franklin, for healthy tasty grinds and juices!!",
"Friendly staff and good juice, but $15 for 2 juices?!?! I should have sensed that this was going to be expensive by the lack of posted prices.",
"What can I say more than, this place is legit! Great job on creating an awesome environment and matching that with equally amazing quality and service. \n\nI had the Kona Bowl which rocked my taste buds. Looking forward to a return trip!",
"The purest juice you can find! All the juices are fresh, raw and cold- pressed. I've never had a flavor I didn't like. You get so much energy in a 12oz bottle (also available in 16oz). My faves are Morning Dirt and Green-Go! If you want more than a drink, try the BomBom Acai bowl- delicious!! \n\nPricing may seem expensive to some, but you definitely get your money's worth!!",
"I can't find açai bowls anywhere else locally! Coming from the west coast where these are common, I'm glad I found this place. I'm pretty tough when it comes to my açai bowls, but this one was decent. I got the Kona. The fruit was ok- maybe not the California fruit level of freshness that I'm used to. I am disappointed that this place is kinda pricey- even compared to places on the west coast that I used to frequent, and those were California prices! Overall though, I'm glad to have found this place. A good place for an açai bowl fix!",
"Above and beyond any other juice company I have tried. Their bowls with raw coconut and honey on them are AMAZING. You can taste the difference between them and other juice companies and tho you have to walk inside the factory to get to their shop, it's well worth the price and the walk. They have a juice truck around town too.",
"Although I have previously had a good experience here, today my experience was negative enough to write a review when I usually don't. My primary complaint is that when you are paying $13.50 for an acai bowl, I expect it to be a quality bowl. A quarter of the bowl was composed of very unripe, hard, bitter bananas. When I mentioned this to the worker, she said they knew the bananas were unripe. I'm not sure why they made a bowl knowing that one of the main ingredients was not up to their normal standard. On top of that, she was not apologetic and did not seem to really care that our experience was subpar. In addition we waited about 30 minutes for the bowl and left hungry because the majority of the bowl was the green bananas. Hoping their quality control and customer service improves some, because I want to like this place, although we probably won't be back any time soon:(",
"Five stars simply because this place brings me great joy. Living across the street, I have to resist the urge to buy a juice everyday. \n\nService is always friendly. Not the most professional environment, everyone is always dressed very casually and seem to be socializing with each other or other friends more than working. HOWEVER. Still five stars because they're super nice and the casual feel fits the vibe. \n\nI recommend the Bon-Bon Acai bowl. And the grapefruit juice. \n\nBut be prepared to pay when you go here. It's not cheap, but it's a refreshing treat!",
"I will literally drive 30 minutes to Franklin JUST to go to this place. I'm in love with you, FJCO & your acai bowls are my favorite thing about Franklin. \n\nIntense opening, I know but I don't even care. First off, the owners of this place are the nicest. In all of the times I've been here, I've never had an off-putting experience with anyone from the staff. \n\nMy favorite juices are the Green Go, Morning Dirt, Green Lemonade, Grapefruit & Lemon Cayenne. I think that covers most of the juices that they offer. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ The Gogo Acai Bowl & other bowls are insanely good & nourishing. Great. I'm craving one now.\n\nThey've got cleanses, elixirs, ginger shots, wheatgrass shots complete with a how-to guide on their site for the cleanse. Last, they deliver locally! They've got all the details on this site for how to make this happen so get on it! The only way that this place could get any better is if it wasn't half an hour away & I could go there even more than I already do. Until then, I'll be dreaming of my next visit."

"C J Muggs is a cool enough place, but it kind of has an identity crisis - which isn't a bad thing. Visit during the day and you will find it somewhere between a casual to elegant restaurant. Your chair will be pulled out for you and you will be handed a menu. Visit during the night, especially on a weekend, and you will find a rowdy crowd and live music. C J Muggs is surprisingly large inside, with a central bar on the left side of the restaurant. You'll find numerous heavy wood tables throughout. The food is American, and is average yet tasty. \n\nI was first introduced to C J Muggs through a local band who was playing there. The crowd was vibrant, young and it was a great time. My fiance and I recently went with another couple, and we felt a little out of place. We happened to go at 6pm during the week, and oddly the rest of the patrons were all well dressed and in their 50s-60s. The reason I mention this is that it could be quite confusing to future visitors.",
"CJ Muggs has a huge menu! It can be a bit daunting, actually. I've found that pretty much everything on the menu is okay (not great), but I love the cheese and chorizo quesadilla. I think CJ Muggs does most of its business from catering events, so their dining room isn't anything to write home about either. All in all, an okay place to go but nothing seriously special.",
"As bars and restaurants in Webster go, this is certainly one of my favorites. It does not have the same grittiness that you find at Weber's, and it's not as nice and airy as Llewlyn's, but the menu is huge, and will basically serve to satisfy anyone's taste. \n\nMy family isn't huge, but we are a diverse little group. Also, with a young baby in the family, we always need to be on the lookout for places that aren't smoky, that are kid friendly, and that aren't so loud that the baby gets upset. This place fits the bill perfectly for an early dinner. The waiters are awesome, very attentive, and will run back and forth to bring you whatever you order. The food comes out fast and it's hot when it gets to you. As I said before, the menu is diverse and has a ton of options. I love the fajita salad (sans the meat and sour cream), but the white mushroom pizza is amazing as well. I am also a huge fan of the portobella panini. All these things are vegetarian and delicious. Don't worry, there are plenty of carnivorous options as well, ranging from huge burgers to almond crusted salmon. Everything from fancy to standard bar fare is found here. \n\nIn nice weather, they will open up the front windows, making you feel like you are really eating in open air. This is great since the atmosphere is pretty dim, though not depressing. Also, the bathrooms are in the basement, which is something I will always complain about regardless of how good the rest of the establishment may be. \n\nThis is also a great place to start your night with a few appetizers and beers among friends. This place is not cheap and you will pay nearly $6 for a Guinness, but if you don't plan on spending the whole night drinking here, the bill won't break you (too much).",
"I went here for the first time in probably 5 years a few nights ago, and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I like the space and the ambiance, as well as the all-black outfits worn by the staff. Classy, but not pretentious.\n\nWe got in easily on a Friday night. I had a Bass from the tap which tasted a little funny, and our waitress swapped it for a Boddington's, no questions asked. I got the ginormous (wow, Firefox recognizes that as a word!) bacon bleu cheese burger and it was everything I hoped for. Some of the fries were a little dark, but there were so many that I was still able to enjoy as many as I wanted and have some to share. My companions had the pineapple and ham pizza, and a pasta dish. I tried the pizza and it was very tasty, and I'm not a pineapple guy. I'm sure I'll be back next time I'm in Webster Groves.",
"I have been living and eating in Webster Groves for 18 years, and of the countless times I've eaten at CJ Muggs, I have never once had a good experience. I even had the pleasure of having a job there for a short while. That is, until I started hearing the dirty little rumors that the kitchen staff loved nothing more than putting things into the food that, frankly, should not be going into the food and that the restaurant was not particularly picky about how the dishes should be washed. While I'm not POSITIVE that these rumors are true, they're enough to give you pause. I, personally, will never, ever, eat there again and urge you to be careful when dining there.",
"I like CJ Muggs for lunch. They have a hummus plate that is pretty tasty. The goat cheese pizza is yums as well! Oh, and the salads are big and full! \n\nIt's small so it can get really crowded on weekends but it's fun. Service is pretty good too. \n\nThe first review really freaked me out though! I hope they don't put stuff in goat cheese pizza and hummus!!!",
"I usually go to CJ Muggs for lunch since it is near my work. I think much of their menu is overpriced, but they have a good variety and evertyhing I've eaten (or seen my friends eat) has been great. High quality food and usually good service. I like the heavy wood featured in the restaurant and the fact that they display the work of local artists (for sale too). I HIGHLY recommend their turkey burger! They season it very well, which many places forget to do (I don't know why people assume you must like bland food if you prefer turkey vs. beef burgers). The burgers are thick, peppery, savory, and just delcious. The BBQ turkey burger is great too, but super messy. I love their fries and they give you tons of them. I'll keep coming back for the turkey burger.",
"Went today for a light lunch with Andy. \n\nI had the hummus plate. It's an appetizer, but I wasn't very hungry, so I just had that for my entree. It's pretty good! Lots of pita bread, a huge amount of hummus, and olive tapenade and feta cheese. YUM! \n\nAndy had pizza, and opted for andouille sausage and broccoli for his toppings. I had a bite,and it was pretty good. Not amazing, but decent. \n\nService was alright. Our waitress wasn't super attentive, but I'm fine with that. The place was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon, which may or may not say something about the place. \n\nI'm not dying to come back here, but I wouldn't be opposed to visiting again. \n\nP.S. Try their homemade potato chips. They are absolutely AMAAAAZING!",
"The only phrase I can think of that sums up my experience with CJ Muggs is \"meh, not bad.\"\n\nEvery aspect of my restaurant experience was by no means negative, but neither was any particular feature distinguishable from the white background noise of memory. The service is competent. Sometimes it's extremely attentive and sometimes lax to the point of pseudo-neglect. The dining areas are bright, comfortable and clean, but the atmosphere has a bland 'Cheers' atmosphere that fits the image of a sleepy bar from years gone by. \n\nAnd the food is, well, it's good but it's not memorable. This time I had the 5 cheese and chorizo quesadilla and it came out in a relatively short amount of time, seemed to be well prepared and tasted pretty good... but again there was nothing about it that really left deep impressions in my mind. I can't even quibble about the price/portion ratio. \n\nOverall I'd put CJ's about 2 bars above Applebees. Great if you're in the neighborhood and don't really know what you want. But I'd wouldn't set it as a high priority on a list of \"Places I just gotta try.\"",
"I don't think I'll be going back to CJ Muggs anytime soon. It's not a horrible place, but absolutely nothing stands out about it. It has sort of a musty/old smoke smell to it and something about it didn't feel completely clean. This is really nit-picky, but I hate when restaurants use black cloth napkins. It's impossible to tell if they're clean or not.\n\nOn the plus side, our server was very nice and pretty attentive. I tried the salsiccia and pepper pizza and that was pretty good, too. Otherwise, the house salad was pretty average. On the negative side, there were these tiny, gross gnats that kept flying around our bread basket and I found one crawling on my lemon that was on my water glass. Just one more thing that added to the uncleanliness feel of the place."

"A terrific place to grab a quick bite to eat. Friendly, fast and reasonable prices for the quality they serve up. It the best chick-fl-a I have ever gone to. Most likely because of consistent service of their staff. The manager \"Chris\" is always working his tail off to make sure everything is running as normal. I must say to \"Chris\" thanks for all the support thru the years....you are the best. You have the cleanest, friendliest, all around best restaurant that I know is always there for our family to get a perfect meal...fast!",
"Have you tried Chick-Fil-A breakfast? If you haven't you should go today! I love this place for breakfast. A chicken biscuit sounds a little odd at first but trust me they are great! The employees are always very nice a chick Fill A too.",
"My wife and I have found this restaurant to be on the upside of extremely good. We try to eat there once every week or two, driving over from Camby specifically to eat there. The staff are always friendly, the food is excellent and the restaurant is very clean. I have found that a sandwich, waffle fries and a shake is more than enough for a good meal. I'd highly recommend this restaurant.",
"Great food and great service. Nicest people of all fast food.",
"Good grief, what a mess. I rarely do bad Yelp reviews and try to offer benefit of the doubt... But this staff need a lesson in listening. I ordered three meals, nothing too complex, just the meals and mayo. The order had to be repeated five times, seriously. Got the order, asked again for mayo, and heard \"Oh I put some in there.\" Oh yes, one packet. For three meals. Thanks.",
"Chickf-fil-a is known for their quality service, but this location takes the cake. Some of the best management and staff I have run into. I try to come at least once every two weeks when home and I never get tired of it. \nThe food is fresh and always warm. They are very efficient as well. I had a very large order for 6 plus people to go. They had it out in 4 minutes and in a convenient large bag. They are also very good at taking refills and checking in on you when dining in. I have had no issues at this location and I have dined here about 100 times.",
"The food is consistently good. What impressed us most was the dining room host. His name is Wayne. He asked if everything was satisfactory- then returned offering to get refills on our drinks. A friendly and, we think, a valued employee!! Thanks for making our lunch a pleasant experience!",
"We asked Chick-Fil-A in Plainfield to cater our small afternoon wedding a month ago. I could not have been happier with the service provided and our guests couldn't have been happier with a lunch that they all know and love. \n\nOur food was delivered right on time. Hot food was hot (and came with a warmer we just had to return the following Monday) and cold food was cold. Everything looked great and tasted even better. More than a few of our guests complimented our lunch choices. \n\nI wish I could remember the lady's name that helped us place our order a couple of weeks prior. She was so calm and patient (two weeks before my wedding, I wasn't!) and helpful as we stressed about how much to order, not wanting to order too much or too little. She even handed us a couple of chicken sandwich gift cards on our way out the door and even more came when they dropped off our food the day of our wedding. \n\nThank-you, Chick-Fil-a for making that part of our wedding easy for us and enjoyable for our guests. I will definitely recommend Chick-Fil-a for anyone's simple catering needs.",
"1) Having the outdoor car side service during peak times is awesome. What a personal touch!\n2) Decided to try something new - a grilled chicken wrap with honey mustard. This worked out well as I saved half for lunch the next day. They give you a sauce packet to add as you like.\n3) Just say yes to the fries. Life is short. \n4) While you're at it, you might as well say yes to the sweet tea, too. So gooood!",
"Clean. Fast, Accurate Service. Chik-fil-A has become a fast food favorite for our family. Wish there was one closer to home."

"Brand Spanking New Opening.\n\nThe pho here looks better than the ones from Saigon Express around the corner, but their dry dishes (vermicelli and rice plates) did not make me happy...not at all!\n\nI ordered the bbq beef vermicelli with fried egg roll, when i received my food there was a bowl full of vermicelli, one egg roll (about 1.5 inches long) cut into two bite sized pieces, and a handfull of lettuce. \n\nthats not what it's supposed to look like! its supposed to have carrots and bean sprouts and more meat and more egg roll! and whatsup with the fish sauce? isn't it supposed to be orangey red? why did they give me a soysaucy one...is that something that's usually put it in? i'm not used to it. \n\nthis is not a review of their pho, so when and if i do go back, i will update.",
"As a pho connoisseur of sorts (my parents are from Vietnam), I have to say that Pho Bistro has the best pho in the Santa Barbara area. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a huge steaming bowl with all the appropriate cuts of meat in it. The broth has a deep beefy flavor (unlike all the other Vietnamese places in town that give you a bland broth) and will definitely quell any pho cravings you may have. My only issue is that it was pretty pricey for a bowl of pho. I think I paid about $8 for my bowl, which is way overpriced. It should be under 6 bucks in my opinion, but then again I come from the Bay Area where prices for great Asian food are way lower.",
"This place is very small, but it's cute and really clean. They're located in IV, but surprisingly make a good bowl of pho! The pieces of beef are already cooked in the broth, which isn't how Pho Tai is supposed to be... but I'll let it slide because the beef is actually nice and tender. If you don't live in IV, it's kind of an inconvenience to eat here because there's no parking (it IS Isla Vista, after all).",
"I've not had too much Vietnamese food, so maybe I'm not the best judge here, but their food is pretty tasty.\n\nUnfortunately there is only one veggie dish on the menu: rice noodle veggie stir fry with mushrooms, chopped up spring rolls and tofu, but it is really good. They also give you a ton of food and are always super nice. Like I said, I wish they had more veggie options, but I do enjoy what I've had!",
"So it's pretty regular as pho goes. I enjoyed the spring rolls cuz it had a lot of mushroom in it. I had the well done beef pho and the meat was a bit thick. otherwise, the broth was on the bland side, but the meal wasn't offensive.",
"Since it's Santa Barbara, Pho Bistro is alright. I had the vermicelli a while back and I just had a bowl of Pho (Dac Biet, or means special) recently. I think I had the beef vermicelli. I was a bit disappointed. There were a good portion of beef and vermicelli but there wasn't a lot variety of veggies. They only had lettuce. I was hoping for bean sprouts, cucumbers and more. It came with one eggroll. It was good but it wasn't enough. \n\nI'm from the Bay Area where there's Pho restaurants every 3-5 miles. The pho from the Pho Bistro was alright. The soup was kind of bland and needed more flavor and a bit more salt. I was wondering if they had those small sauce dishes. There was a good amount of bean spouts but there wasn't enough herbs like basil. I had a Thai Tea along with my pho. The Thai tea was good. :) The prices are a bit high but it's Santa Barbara afterall. I didn't expect a lot from this bistro. I just wanted to try it out. Overall, like I said since it's Santa Barbara, Pho Bistro is alright. :)",
"I was going to give it 4 stars but read the other reviews and thought.. oh yeah, I thought the same thing. Areas they are lacking: 8 bucks for a bowl of Pho? Ridonkulous! No little bowls to mix up your Srirachia and plum sauce, no sugar at the table, not a variety of Pho choices, and they served my pho with 1 sprig of basil and 1 sprig of cilantro.. and very little bean sprout. Additionally, they don't have spring rolls--I've never been to a Pho joint and been denied rolls... it just isn't the same if you can't have spring rolls with your soup. \n\nAs for service: once again, not a place where people smile but, if you're lucky, the cute Asian girl will be working. She puts the radio on and smiles like the Dickens, and i like that a lot. A smile goes a long way when you're surrounded by sour pusses all day.",
"Solid not going to complain, I mean they are doing it... bringing pho to mainstream America (well UCSB that is). I wish they were here when I attended UCSB but better late than never. \n\nI had the Pho Tai and if you are craving pho then this may satisfy your craving. However, I prefer my thin slices of meat rare and thin. My noodles were a bit limp and I like my bean sprouts crisper. I also would have loved me some more jalapeno, limes and Thai Basil. Can't get enough of the Thai Basil.\n\nMy sister got her usual bowl and WOW that was amazing. I would definately reccommend that. Ban Cha Gio Tom Thit Nuong a lovely medley of Rice noodles, egg roll, grilled shrimp choice of pork or chicken served atop of lettuce, cucumbers, bean sprouts, cilantro, crushed peanuts and served with a ddipping sauce (containing fish sauce I'm guessing). Solid. It's also called the #32 in case you are wondering. This bowl is bursting with flavors. My sister got the pork and it was tender and full of flavor. Addiciting.\n\nThe 2 young men behind the counter were very sweet and lovely. Although I'm more of a salty girl but when it comes to Vietnamese Coffee, I go all out. Give me the 2 inches of condensed milk. They go light here, maybe just looking out for you.\n\nYeah a bit pricey for a Vietnamese joint but I'd rather spend 10 bucks on a meal here then spend $7 at a drive thru. Much better for you and go ahead and titilate your senses. You can alwasy douse your pho with Siracha or Hoisin Sauce.",
"Had the lemongrass beef over vermicelli. Presentation was solid, but there was something off about the dish..the sprouts were old and had a funky taste. Service is cool, the guy is friendly.",
"The chick that works here is seriously retarded. Spacey as fck, dosent pay attention, and can't take an order. \n\nIts IV, so can't expect much. \n\nThe pho was a little funky... wanst a huge fan of the broth, but it had a lot of veggies and tofu in it, so i was fairly satisfied. \n\nIced coffee was good. \n\nmeh."

"your average thai place on Delmar. simple, quick, easy, cheap--a total student oriented destination. kind of interesting that Thai Gai is just down the corner.",
"absolute staple for any wash u student. cheap, easy food on the loop, walking distance from campus. it's one of several related family owned restaurants in the area. always enjoyed everything i tried there in my years in st. louis. the service isn't so great, but i don't really go to any family run asian restaurant expecting the same kind of service you may get elsewhere. my boyfriend (of 3+ years) and i had our first date there...he's mildly addicted to the place and claims it's the only reason he has to go back to visit the city. for me, it's a pretty standard thai place but i definitely recommend it!",
"ditto on what alexis d. said. I really think this is one of the better Thai places in St. Louis.\n\nUpdate April 2008 - Just ate here during our college reunion. My palate and experience with thai food must have expanded a bit, because it was not nearly as good as I remember. I guess for a thai place in the Lou, though, it was still very good.",
"If this is one of the better thai places in St. Louis then I really feel bad for you. Give me Thai food in Seattle any day.\n\nTERRIBLE service. There were only five people in the restaurant, and when I walked in I waited for about seven minutes for the hostess to stop chatting on her cell phone and come and seat me.\n\nBarely edible food. After waiting for another ten minutes to order, and then nearly that again to receive the food, we (the boyfriend and I) were brought our Phad Thai and Pad Kee Mao. Clumpy with very little flavor. \n\nWhen we had finished eating, we waited and waited and waited for our check. No go. Finally, again after about ten minutes of waiting, I got up and went to the back room where the hostesses were again chatting and not helping customers. I asked for the check, then sat down. Several minutes later, she brought it.\n\nKeep looking, I hope you'll find some place better. The boyfriend, St. Louis born and raised, says that the King and I is the best, but since they were closed when we went to get our thai fix, I can't vouch.\n\nThey get two stars instead of one because the food was edible and the decor was pretty cute.",
"Not very good. Terrible service, decor is old-skool and majorly dingy - slightly unclean.\n\nThe only redeeming feature of Thai Country Cafe is the barbeque ribs. I know, I know, that sounds kind of gross seeing as how the atmosphere and food, and service is all very sub-par. But seriously, if you're in the mood for Thai-style ribs and some cheap mediocre Thai food it's worth at least one visit. Plan on leaving a bit of extra time because the service is so slow, though.",
"Of the 4 family-owned Thai restaurants in this 4-block span of the U. City Loop, Thai Country Cafe is my favorite. The menu doesn't really vary much from Thai Cafe or Thai Gai-Yang, but the execution, I think, is above the rest.\n\nThis was the place that I discovered my love of Thai food, so I try to come back whenever I'm back in St. Louis for a visit. The prices are so cheap, it makes me do a double-take every time.\n\nI always go for the Thai egg rolls and the corn cakes as appetizers. They can't be beat. And the pad thai here is probably the best I've ever had. And it's the standard that I compare all other pad thai to whenever I have it around the country.\n\nThe only time I've ever had to wait for a table was when a whole dorm of Wash U freshman decided they all wanted to eat Thai food. Aside from that, there's always room at Thai Country Cafe. I've turned a bunch of friends on to the delicious food that it brings & they drive in from West County to eat here. And it's definitely worth it!",
"Pros:\nCheap\nKind of neat decor (I love kitsch!)\n\nCons:\nThe food isn't so great\n\nI prefer Thai Gai Yang, accross the street. Bigger selection and much better food.",
"I went here years ago and strongly disliked it and had since formed an allegiance to Thai Cafe.\n\nThat allegiance still stands, but when a friend, who is a big fan of Thai Country, brought me some Pad Thai, I changed my tune just a bit. It was really good. Soft and velvety, noodles not too chewy, sauce not too sweet. It was really a good plate of noodles. \n\nPrices are super cheap too. I'd say it's a good choice for take out. At least where Pad Thai is concerned.",
"Located on Delmar in the Loop, Thai Country Cafe's food is heavy and greasy. The decor is dated and scruffy. They're lucky that they have location going for them and that they make Thai food. No matter how much you screw it up, it still manages to taste good. But, there's much better Thai to be had elsewhere.",
"This place has decent Thai food at cheap prices. But it is missing that special something that would make it a really excellent place to go. \n\nThe atmosphere could only be described as \"blah.\" They could have definitely made more of an effort. The beer/drink selection is also really lacking. They could step that up a notch.\n\nAs for the food, it's good but sometimes can also be bland. But I've never had a really terrible experience. If you want some Thai that's fast and cheap, then this is the place to go. If you're willing to spend some extra money for a better experience, look elsewhere."

"wow...let me say this. This place has an awesome location. Unfortunately passing itself off as a mexican restaurant means you gotta serve actual mexican food and not the betty crocker faux version. Bland, lame ingredients, tough and chewy without thought to the things that make mexican food really stand up - lime, garlic, avocado, cilantro, cumin, etc...where are these? OK, I'd come back for cold beers and people watching and skip the food.",
"Visited Ybor City for the first time on a Wednesday morning with my mom. Around 11:30am we decided to get lunch in el centro, which is basically an outdoor, two-level, mini-mall that spans from 7th to 8th Avenue. Centro Cantina is a big round restaurant on the second level that sits in the middle of the whole ensemble. \n\nThe decor was cute and kitschy, almost what you'd expect at a Cancun bar -- big 64 oz mugs hanging from above the bar, a row of 7Eleven-style slushy machines, each with a different frozen drink swirling inside, colorful bar-height tables and a smorgasbord of different party themed items hanging around. The circular shape of the building means that all the tables are butted up against the railing so you can overlook Ybor city below, which is gorgeous. \n\nService was good -- I'd hope so, since it was so early and we were one of two tables occupied in the place! Happy hour was as promised - 2 for 1 drinks 11am-7pm. We got 2 strawberry & key lime daiquiris (one comes with a vial of 151 - bonus!), which were good but definitely little-to-no booze. I ended up getting the \"bikini glass\" for $11.75, which is an actual body-shaped glass with a cute bikini painted on -- filled with your beverage of choice (sex on the beach & pina colada for me -- the sex on the beach daiquiri is outstanding!). They will wash it out for you when you're done, and the manager even put it in a box for me for safe traveling (thank you!!)\n\nThe food was surprisingly good - somewhat small, pretty basic menu. I was a little disappointed it was all \"Mexican\" with no \"Cuban\" specialties -- it was historic Ybor City, after all... We ended up sharing a spinach & chicken pizza and AY DIOS MIO was that good. The crust was thin and crispy, the spinach was creamed, and the chicken was in teensy weensie pieces so it was easy to eat on pizza. Delicious!\n\nPrices were just as expected and the waitress was prompt throughout the meal. \n\nI wouldn't necessarily recommend Centro Cantina for the Historic Ybor City tourist looking for Cuban cuisine, but if I lived closer it's the kind of place that would be great to meet friends for lunch & midday drinks and awesome for a night out.. those 64oz mugs hanging over the bar? They sell them (and huge hookah-shaped yard cups) filled with your favorite drinks! Check please!",
"Why do I always find a way to stop by when I'm in Ybor? I must give credit to where it's due. It's convenient to stop in, grab a drink and just lounge for a bit. There's a sentiment of nostalgia I get hanging out in an outdoor bar at a shopping centre. Ah. Glory days. That feeling, however, is minimal. The atmosphere just doesn't do it for me. Or maybe Ybor just has to grow on me? C'est la vie. You win some and you lose some.",
"Very nice bartender but he really was rather clueless. For a bar that advertises its large selection of tequila he didn't understand when I ordered a Sauza margarita. I moved here from AZ so when you're serving me a margarita you better come correct! He served it to me in a styrofoam cup. Gross. \nI sent it back for a Pacifico. (which seemed to be the only redeeming quality). \nWe ordered Steak Nachos and got cold chicken nachos.\nI wont be back.",
"Located in the heart of Ybor City . Centro Cantina is a nice little outside bar located on the second story of Centro Ybor. The deck offers a lovely view 7th Avenue and all those walking about on a Saturday afternoon, or stumbling about on a Saturday night.\n Their specialty is frozen drinks, which you can obviously see as you approach the bar that wraps around the restaurant. There are about 15 of what appear to be slushy machines but are definitely not for children. They are offered in the usual 16oz glass, or if you are feeling adventurous or like sharing, they also offer drinks in 64oz glasses. If you don't like your drinks frozen, they have a full liquor bar, and a large selection of tequilas. I have never eaten an entree here, but their salsa is amazing. \n\nTheir happy hour is absolutely extreme and lasts from 11AM until 7PM. They also hold karaoke on Wednesday nights. Overall an ok joint. Nice place to hang out in Ybor.\n\nOh yeah. Jason, the bartender, absolutely amazing.",
"I am giving Centro Cantina three stars because the only thing I have ever had from hear was margaritas. Located on the second level of Centro Ybor in the center of 7th Ave, Centro Cantina is the perfect spot to have some delicious drinks and people watch - the vantage point is pure perfection!\n\nA friend and I hunkered down at a table on a raised platform right agains the railing with a margarita pitcher and were there for a couple of hours. The drinks were refreshing and delicious, the staff was attentive, and the vibe was very laid back. On any give night while you're walking by you can hear musicians covering anything from Bon Jovi to Matchbox Twenty. They also have a wall of frozen drinks, kind of like Wet Willie's but not as expansive.\n\nI'm not sure if I would ever have a meal here (not that anything seems wrong with their food), but I will MOST DEFINITELY return for more margarita pitchers and judging of drunken Ybor patrons stumbling down the strip!",
"The best part of this place is the location. Right in the heart of Ybor City in Centro Ybor. The balcony overlooking 7th is prime people watching location. The drinks are pretty standard except for the frozen drinks. They have live music which always makes the drinking even funner.",
"Extremely loud even when empty. They serve food but it's only food to eat if you are drunk and needing to sober up. $7.50 for a tiny, weak margarita is a joke.",
"Perched on the second floor overlooking Ybor City, Centro Cantina was a breezy respite to listen to some live music and enjoy one of the many frozen concoctions swirling around behind the bar. I opted for the Key Lime Daiquiri, in keeping with Floridian faves, and was happily accommodated. The drink comes with a test tube shot of rum which you pour yourself, and the Key Lime taste really came through. My friend was disappointed with her wine, in both flavor and price, but the Cantina is no wine bar. Good for people watching and a relaxed night out in the open.",
"Drinks are sub par...food about the same...\n\nPeople watching is about all this place is good for"

"This is my most visited Thai restaurant in St. Louis.\nI love their tom-yum soup noodles, larb salad and curries.\nFood comes out fast and water level is never low.\n\nIf you like the 3 Thai places on the Loop, you might not like this place,\nbut if you think the Thai restaurants on the Loop serves nasty syrupy Thai food, then you might want to try Rearn Thai.\n\nIf you order the curry, you get a small bowl of rice, and that might\nnot be enough if you eat a lot. Extra bowl of rice costs money.\nI've been repeating the tom-yum and the other soup noodle with lemongrass, so I haven't tried their non-soupy noodles yet.\nWhen I tried one of their soup-noodles that claimed to have a chili-tomato flavored soup, I was disappointed by the strong ketchup flavor.\nBut other than this one experience, I've been happy with Rearn Thai.",
"I have eaten here at least 20 times and have had one delicious experience after another. The Kang Dang is amazing and you can get as spicy or as mild as you like. The ambiance is plain but inviting.",
"This place is not the best, but not the worst. I've had their Thai Spicy Fried Rice, which is pretty good and big portioned. Their Pad Thai, however, is not very good. Definitely have had better elsewhere.",
"This place is walking distance to my office and the lunch prices are pocket friendly! But the food it's really not so great. Bland and unappealing. I would recommend Thai Kitchen in Maryland Heights!",
"I really want to like this place more than I do......I was introduced to this place last year at the Clayton Art Fair where they served up an awesome papaya salad. I actually watched the lady make it fresh from scratch right there in the tent. The problem is the rest of their food is not very good. I ordered the Pad Thai and it was so bland I barely ate any of it. I have been here a couple other times and was just not impressed with the food at all. I really wish it was better so I didn't have to drive all the way to S. Grand to get my Thai fix.....",
"Got take out from Rearn Thai Monday night. I would give this place 3.5 stars. I have definitely had better Thai food. The Tom Yum soup was pretty good. But the Tofu Sog Kreg was awesome! Hence the 4 stars. The flavors were so unique, with scallions and black pepper and the tofu was super soft. Will probably ask for the \"hot\" spice level next time.",
"Sometimes I like it spicy. \n\nI went with the lunch special #9 with chicken, you pick your meat and your heat. I went with a medium heat just to gage where their spicy level was. I could have gone hotter...but let's get real. It's near 100 degrees out. I'll be plenty hot just walking outside, my mouth doesn't need to be a flame too.\n\nThe service is typically for ethnic eats. Waiter doesn't talk much, the menu is coded with numbers for those who can't pronounce \"Thai\", the water service was good...my glass was always half full.\n\nThe food was came out fast and the quality was A-Okay. The atmosphere could be described as modest and intimate...I would call it shabby and small.",
"This place is terrible. I should have gotten a clue based on the fact that I went there with a group of 8 people on a Saturday night and there were NO other customers in the restaurant. Needless to say, I ignored the signs and ate here. This was literally the worst Thai food I have had in my entire life. \n\nFirst, I ordered the tom yum soup. They asked me how spicy I wanted it and I responded that I wanted it spicy. I did not expect that the entire bowl of soup would be covered in red pepper flakes. Disgusting. I spent ten minutes picking red pepper flakes out of the soup and my mouth. \n\n I also tried the chicken satay. The chicken was ice cold and as dry as beef jerky. The dipping sauce was a mix between curry and Planter's honey roasted peanuts. It was a bizarre combination like nothing I've ever had before. Once again...Disgusting. \n\n Finally, I ordered curry. I had high hopes that they could not screw up everything in my order. Boy was I wrong. The curry was bland and just plain gross. \n\nOverall, all 8 of the people in my group left the restaurant dissatisfied. My recommendation is that you walk two blocks down the road and eat at the Blue Elephant Thai Restaurant.",
"Got take out again this weekend... I make better green curry at home. The food was definitely spicy and lived up to the \"4\" level but not worth ordering food from here. I think the only thing worth getting is the Tofu Sog Kreg.",
"Rearn Thai was recommended by two friends whose opinions I highly trust. I went there for lunch today because I have been on a pad thai kick (3 times in the last week!). I was surprised to see that there was not a pad thai on their lunch menu, only on the regular menu. I ordered it anyways, remembering the recommendations of my friends, and was brought out a lunch-sized portion of the dish.\nFor the price, $10.95, the portion was very small. I would say I eat more than the average person but I don't eat an abnormal amount. The flavor was pretty good, but it seemed very \"one-note\". The chicken was dry and the three shrimp in my dish were small and a little under-cooked.\nThe environment was fine and my glass was never empty of water, I just expected a little more after the recommendations. I am still on the search for a great pad thai spot in STL..."

"Fantastic experience on opening day. Came in with a group of 7 and were seated immediately. Accommodating to all guests, including gluten-free. Food was brought out quickly after ordering and everyone in the group was very pleased. Fantastic atmosphere. Great staff. Quick service. We will return!",
"Went to the soft opening yesterday with some friends and we were not disappointed! My friends had been to a Bar Louie before but this was my first time. \n\nThe atmosphere was great, the service staff was very friendly, we met the bar manager and one of the owners and they were very welcoming of our feedback, and they hung around to talk in general which was nice.\n\nI had the baked mac and cheese with shrimp, we shared the hummus dip, and we ordered the chocolate cake for dessert. All of the food was AMAZING. My two friends and I had three cocktails each so I tried all nine and they all were delicious!! I will definitely be back!",
"Great bar top service!!!! We came in for drinks, met some awesome bartenders and had some fantastic drinks!! We didn't have any food, but everything served around us looked amazing. Will definitely be our weekly watering hole! Met Casey behind the bar, thanks for the great vodka cocktails!!#ScreamingEagles! #USI",
"My coworkers and I stopped by for lunch on the day they opened. We were excited to learn that we were their very first customers! I thought the menu looked good and had lots of options I wanted to try, and finally settled on the Luigi Sandwich. Shaved sirloin (I added cheese), topped with lettuce, mayo, onion, and seasoning. I went with tots for my side. VERY good. A ton of sirloin on it and seasoned perfectly. Whatever seasoning is on the tots, I approve. There were seven of us at lunch (all with different food) and everyone really enjoyed their meal. \nThe server was not good, but he tried really hard. He admitted that he hadn't served in a really long time, and had issues remembering items and answering questions. Nice guy, so hoping it gets better with time. \nThey have a good happy hour menu, as well as a good and affordable brunch menu. Excited to try out both soon!",
"Tuesday $5 Burger Night is my favorite night and you can not beat this deal. 1/2 Price Aps 4 to 7 too!\n\nLarge bar with many TVs. Drinks and Happy Hour deals daily. \n\nOur server, Dani, was so nice and quick. We were in and out in about 40 minutes. \n\nI had the Spiked Bulleit Bourbon Burger (Must be 21 to order) and it was top notch. Extra $1 for this burger on $5 night. The Blue Louie was also fantastic!\n\nDefinitely will be back!",
"Loved it! Brand new, great live music, decent food and service was very fast. Chris our waiter was wonderful. Reasonably priced. Check it out! Open late which was a plus after a long day at work. Tuesday's are for 5 dollar signature burgers!",
"Carmel needed this more upscale bar restaurant. I have been there twice this week and both experiences have been great. Sharp upscale atmosphere, great staff and bar tenders, service was great and food was impressive! Try the Sliders!!",
"This place has the kind of atmosphere that you would want to meet friends for drinks and have a great time.\n\nI sat at the bar and JD one of their signature martinis. Ordered 2 delicious appetizers. The AHI POKE & POTSTICKERS. Both were yummy!\n\nTVs surround the bar area so you can watch sports while eating. They have an open area upstairs that must be used for private parties. \n\nAs any new restaurant in Indiana, people will flock here and it will be busy as everyone is drawn to try it out. \n\nParking is the downside. Only street parking. You may have to walk a little to park. There is a building across from it for sale that seems vacant so we parked there.",
"The service was great. We went about 2pm, wasn't busy so we were waited on fairly quickly. We ordered the cheeseburgers and I loved mine. My dad said his left a bad aftertaste but maybe that was just him. The only complaint I had was the diet coke was flat, but we told a kitchen manager who checked on us and he fixed it!",
"Great environment! The ambiance was just right to be able to talk to people across the table from you. Food was great with many options to enjoy. Large drink menu with several beer tabs."

"My friend and I went here for breakfast after coming home from a great A/C weekend. I hadn't been to the Meadows in a while. Boy, what I was missing! I had perfect eggs over easy and a bagel w/ cream cheese just how I ordered it and yummy pork roll. My girlfriend had chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. We were in heaven. Big portion, great prices, smiling service. I'll be back!",
"Years and years ago, I started dating a guy who lived just down the street from this place. It quickly became \"our diner,\" thanks to the fast, friendly service and the delicious food. As long as you remember that this is a Jersey diner, not a (insert cuisine here) place, and order accordingly, you can't go wrong here. I tried a coconut shrimp special once. Lesson learned.\n\nDon't miss the Meadows Special: a bit of every breakfast bite you crave, including pancakes, eggs, French toast, breakfast meat, and home fries, for around $8. The soups are also stellar diner fare. Furthermore, it's legitimately criminal to leave without at least one of their desserts, either in your belly or in a box for later.",
"While Meadow's Diner has the looks of your everyday, schlock diner, the food they serve says something completely different. At least, as far their breakfast goes, it's pretty good stuff. I ordered two poached with corned beef hash with a side of home fries and an english muffin. Everything was cooked very well. This was my first time, in a long time, I've had perfectly poached eggs. Firm whites and not a molecule of hard yolk. Just oozing, warm yellow-orange. Their homemade corned beef hash is indeed homemade. Chunks of meat, good seasoning and served crispy as ordered, anyone desiring homemade over the canned, should try this. The homefries had a nice crisp and crunch, but only tasted fair. Not too much nuttiness in them, but certainly not terrible. The coffee, too, was also fair. Not as strong as I'd like, but this is a personal preference. It wasn't watery by any stretch, I just like mine with a little \"burnt\" in it. My english muffin was excellent. Toasted and browned on the outside, fluffy in, and a heavy fresh bread taste to boot. It was a pleasure drowning it in butter.\n\nIt does get crowded in their, so be prepared to wear some elbow pads. The waitress and the rest of the staff were pleasant and made sure my water glass and coffee cup were filled.",
"This Diner is worth seeing. It is a very attractive building. Service and food were great. I would definitely go again if I were in the area. If you are at Camden County Community College this place is not far away.",
"The food is very good and the wait staff are nice. One time i was there and the one thing that almost made me vomit was when i was trying to eat, and the busboy was mopping right near me and the wafting smell of ammonia literally made me sick. Why in the world would choose that time to mop up ?? Cant you wait to clean after everyone leaves??\n\nBut ive been there many times and that doesnt happen too often. The Greek managers seem a lil angry, which i dont care for. But the food and waitresses do enough to carry a good review.",
"My second time there tonight ( 4/2 ) excellent food - awesome pancakes, awesome omellette, great service, nice looking place and very clean! !!!!!!",
"My whole family loves this diner. My sister and my mother goes there every Thursday morning for breakfast. When our family visits from Philly they always want to go there to eat. Friendly service, excellent service, food is very good and prices are reasonable.",
"We chanced upon this place, and ended up having an outstanding breakfast. Everything was fresh, tasty, and superbly prepared. In addition, the place was spotless...even the bathrooms. I highly recommend it, and I will return if I can ever find it again.",
"A South Jersey Gem!! I used to judge restaurants by how packed they were, and I'm going back to that now. The line was out the door at Meadows early Sunday Am, I'm assuming for brunch. We browsed the menu while we were waiting and before we knew it , we were seated. The staff had a good control of managing tables and the owner talked to new customers as we were all waiting. \n\nService was everything expected from a Jersey Diner at its finest, warm, family-friendly, accommodating on substitutions, and a knowledgeable staff. All additions that I note as free toppings to the menu! \n\nEven though the diner was very packed, food wait time, and staff service was not sacrificed. The waitress stopped by our table several times, and offered suggestions to the menu. They also have Biscuits!! Ahhh, brunch. You will definitely not leave this place hungry. I'm going back soon for more.",
"You know the place must have good food when the average BMI of their patrons is 42. \n\nSouth Jersey has diners galore... which one to choose? WHICH ONE TO CHOOOOOSE?!?! Oh the options! Picked Meadow's Diner based on the reviews and was not disappointed. \n\nCame in at 10:30ish on a Saturday morning and while busy, I was still seated promptly and with a smile. Service was slightly lacking for refills on water but heeeeeey! It's JERSEY. I had the French Toast w/ Italian Sausage (which was homemade and very authentic [not to mention spicy]). The French Toast was fluffy but a bit cold. Boyfriend had some sort of artery clogging omelet which was very tasty but I'm sure it was about 5,000 calories (heeeeeeey! it's JERSEY!). \n\nOverall I good place to eat really fattening foods to give you the serious ITIS for about 12 hours. $50 for 5 people"

"Their grand opening was generous, but it could have been better planned. The inside was nice and had lots of TVs. Unfortunately, their computer system was not running fast on this first day. The ladies' restroom was clean; although they have electric hand dryers, they need a large trash can.",
"We were seated after 15 minutes and it was a good 10-15 minutes before someone came to take our drink order. We ordered 16 boneless wings and a basket of wedge fries.\nIt took at least 30 mins for our food to arrive. The basket of wedge fries ended up being one side order. I asked for extra sauce as the wings were a little on the dry side. It took 25-30 mins before the sauce arrive (I was done eating). The order for the fries was wrong and they never did bring out the correct order. The drinks were emptied and not refilled despite multiple requests.\nOverall I would rate 1-2 stars. Maybe they were under staffed, but I've had similar experiences at other BWW. If you aren't in a hurry and you don't mind waiting for your food and don't mind if they get it wrong then it was ok. Better quality wings elsewhere and the service has to be better!",
"We were told a 20 minutes wait. After 50 minutes of waiting, and watching 6 empty tables be cleaned, the two hostesses still couldn't figure out how to seat the people waiting. But they were having a good time chit chatting with each other. So we left.",
"Keep in mind this location opened 1/10/2016. We went for lunch at 11am 1/15/2016. Sat for 20 minutes while about 10-12 employees just stood around talking. We had to get up and seek out the manager in the red shirt. She apologized and took our drink and appetizer order. Server brought out drinks including a completely room temperature Blue Moon without saying a word. At this point we decided to walk out and go next door El Rodeo. We let the manager know and she did at least offer to comp us a free appetizer for our next visit, but we didn't have enough time to wait around. My take is they opened the location and were unprepared and untrained. We'll give this location another try, but not for 5-6 months this summer when they hopefully will have their stuff together.",
"Awesome place. Service was great, food was great, and everyone in the place including staff seemed to be having fun! Oh and dont forget how beautiful it is! Definitely a new frequent flyer!",
"Great atmosphere, food, and brews that you would expect here. New layout is great. The only negative experience was when we walked in and were confronted by the hostess that said she did not have a trash can and was not supposed to take trash that we had brought in from the front of there business in a bag labeled Buffalo Wild Wings.",
"The PROS : Great layout of the dining area. More television sets than any place I've visited before. Staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is free, close and plentiful. Good to see ALL the area schools represented with the sports memorabilia. They appear to be doing a BIG business with both dine-in and carryout.\nThe CONS: The kitchen seems to be overwhelmed every time we've visited. LOTS of tables waiting a long time for their food. Tables that sit not bussed for too long. Little, if any, nod to The Racing Capital of the World with decor. The keeper of the TV remote is in need of a schedule for ALL of the area colleges and professional teams. Customers should not have to ask to have the televisions changed from DIVISION III water polo to the IU (Butler, Purdue, ND) basketball game.\n\nOverall, a decent dining experience. Kitchen needs help. Let's hope they are up to the demand of March Madness.",
"Buffalo Wings generally have pretty consistent service and food quality -- I mean, how hard is it to serve reheated chicken and beer? Well--evidently, pretty hard. We arrived at 5:45 -- pretty early for dinner -- and were told a 20-30 minute wait, which turned into a 45 minute wait. That should have been our first sign something was amiss. After waiting 45 minutes, we already knew what we wanted to order, so ordered immediately after being seated at 6:30. We ordered a chicken salad, a burger, a wrap, boneless wings, and a kids mini corn dogs. 60 minutes later we finally got our food. Our waitress was great, and came by every 10 minutes to ask if we needed anything (other than our food), but all she could say is it should be coming, it should be coming. We asked if the order was lost, and she said she saw it up on the screen in the kitchen, and said she had confirmed the kitchen had seen it, and that the screen shows them how long a order has gone unfilled, so they should know it had been an hour. She had even talked with the manger. Despite this, it took a full 60 minutes to bring out 6 items which literally have 5 minute prep time. The chicken on the salad, wrap, and wings had all been precooked and heated under a heat lamp -- they were all dry. They also put dressing on the salad despite asking for it on the side. The waitress insisted on the manager coming over to us. She asked him several times. He finally came over as we were trying to leave, and said \"what is the problem\" curtly as if the waitress hadn't already told him 10 times, before, during, and after our meal was delayed an hour. When my 74 year old mother politely told him (remember, the waitress asked him to come over, not us), he replied \"did everything come out ok?\" as if the only thing that mattered was did we receive edible food or not after waiting 1 hour and 45 minutes. The guy acted exasperated, like the whole thing was out of his control. Dude, I hate to break it to you, but your the manager. This place is bleeding money -- if you can't get food out in under an hour, you can't turn tables. The faster you turn tables, the more customers you can serve, and the more money you make. Also, the less the wait time, so less customers get frustrated and leave and are less likely to come back. With an hour wait for food, less customers are going to come back again, including us. Sayonara Buffalo Wings -- it was nice knowing you for 20 years, but after 86th/Ditch service/kitchen went downhill, we were only willing to give you one last chance, and despite having a brand new restaurant with a brand new general manager, you managed to disappoint us even further. We simply have too many casual dining and bar and grill options to waste our time and money with you.",
"Great layout and tvs galore. Badly needed sports bar/family restaurant in Zionsville area. Service is slow at the moment but to be expected as it is a new store with all new staff learning their systems on the fly. If you lack patience then you should wait a couple months but great set up that fills a huge void in Zville.",
"Ordered food online for pick up. Paid $34 online by inputting card number. Husband went to pick it up. They went over the order then told him it would be $47 so he swiped his card. I assumed they would know we paid online since it was done through THEIR website and there is no option to pay at the restaurant. So now we have paid $80 for $34 worth of food. They dont open for a few more hours, but trust me that manager will hear from me and our money WILL be refunded on the original form of payment....not a gift card. We will NOT be back to this location. They have been open for over a month so we assumed that would be enough time to work out the kinks. Apparently not. Be very cautious of online ordering.\n\nETA: It took over two weeks to be refunded our money. I had to bring in proof several times. I was never given an apology for the extreme inconvenience. The response was essentially \"Ooops\". Terrible customer service."

"Just finished my first order of wings at the new P.J. Whelihan's and I think I may head back after work and get some to go for dinner! The Wings make this place, without them, there wouldn't be any reason to go. Hot Honey is my goto sauce.\n\nThe new pub looks amazing, you never would know Max and Erma's used to occupy this space. TV's everywhere, open layout, many beers on tap, tons of seating throughout, and I understand they are still expanding the outdoor seating area which will be open year round! I'm very much excited to have them so close to work!\n\nService was pretty much amazing, considering they seemed to have the entire staff on hand for opening day. I think there were more servers than patrons while I had lunch. Everyone is learning the ropes, but they did very well for opening day.\n\nGreat addition to the Oaks area, nice to have you here PJ!\n\nUpdate: I did go back for dinner. The place was MOBBED, but I was in and out in 10 minutes. Ordered wings to go at the bar, dry, with sauce on the side. The bar was packed so I sat at the community table while I waited for my wings. No less than 1 manager and 2 servers stopped by to ask me if I needed anything. Sierra, the last one to stop by, offered to get me a glass of water while I waited and I took her up on it. Great service!",
"This place opened a week ago, and we've tried it twice since then. Both were very mediocre experiences. On both visits the food was not great, and on the second the service was downright awful. I will say that they did a great job renovating the place from the former Max & Erma's. It's bright and vibrant, and if you're looking for sports on TV, the walls are lined with them.\n\nThe first visit had some major issues. I ordered a salad without the chicken and bacon that were supposed to come with it. We were sitting in a corner that was very dark, where we needed our phone flashlights to see the menu. It also meant we could not see the food that came out. My salad was served with bacon in it, which I didn't find till eating it. Now some people ask for bacon to be left out because of allergies, some due to religious reasons, and others because they don't eat meat. I happen to hate bacon. Any way it goes, it's a major mistake to put it in when asked to leave it out. \n\nMy friend had ordered French fries with his meal, and these were so salty they were impossible to eat. The unsalted ones they brought out to replace them were hot, freshly cooked and delicious, we just don't know why nobody had tasted the other fries before they left the kitchen. Even the server didn't want to try them as she could see all the salt.\n \nThe manager was nice and gave us a $20 gift card to compensate. And that's why we tried the place again a few days later.\n\nThis time we tried the bison burgers. Service was completely horrendous. . .close to an hour to get the burgers. And the bottom of my basket was dripping in grease. . .so much so that I had to question the server as to whether it was truly bison that was served. Bison is extremely lean, so where was all the grease from? The server was never around to get drink refills and it took so long to get out of there. Don't you just hate it when you really want to leave a place and you can't get anyone to give you the check or pick up the payment?\n\nThe good thing is that they are open late. We work nearby, and at times late hours, so any time we find somewhere serving food late it's a plus. But we likely won't be going back to this place any time soon, unless they work out the many kinks.",
"As always PJ's has not disappointed,awsome NEW restaurant in oaks wings are my fav but everything is great. A must go to for EAGLES games although I see some cowboys front runners they seat them next to the bathroom so appropriate.",
"Lots of TV's. Decent beer selection. Great to have PJ's in the neighborhood! Much better spot than the old Mac and Erma's. Good Pub Grub. Had the nachos with Spicy Chicken - very well done. This will be a frequent stop.",
"1/11/17 UPDATE: Communicated with representative and couldn't have been any more attentive to our recent experience. We were regular patrons at their blue bell location and hence anticipate same experience here. It's good to know the efforts they're making in creating another quite successful location.\n\nMy husband and I couldn't wait for them to open and we were so disappointed when we finally came to have dinner and watch the college football championship game. His Buffalo chicken wrap was ice cold to the point he couldn't eat it because he was worried it was undercooked. I got the steak nachos that were flavorless. The beer was really good. We ordered the pretzel bites which were microwaved to order but the dip it came with was cold and not dippable. Oh and my husband paid extra for fries instead of chips and I have more fingers than the count of fries given. We cant stress the true let down, let alone physically sick from possible food poisoning. We didn't have a server attentive enough to share our concerns and just wanted to leave at that point. We shared the update of them opening to our neighborhood page that included over 150 views. Now we are informing/warning them of the food for this place. I'll give one star for the beer selection and TVs.",
"Amazing place, Great service, very friendly!! Would definitely recommend people to come here and bringing my friends back for some fun time and happy hours!! KYLE WAS AMAZING!!",
"Same great food as the other PJ's, just a lot closer! This place isn't as large as some of be others but maybe when their year round deck is it will be. Highly recommend for a game",
"We visited the first week this location was open. New, clean, friendly service, good draft selection, food was ok but nothing to rave about. Same experience as other locations. If your looking for beer, bar food and Sports look no further. If it's a quality meal you seek, keep looking.",
"I stopped in for lunch and I was impressed. Great service and the place looks 100x better than the previous Max and Erma's. Great burger and brews. I observednall female staff so Def caters to make clientele. The staff was very friendly, great service and food. Would Def recommend.",
"Been there 3 times now. \nFirst visit on opening night. Food came out prompt and perfect. Was pleasantly suprised after being numerous places on their openings and not having same result \n2nd visit was much busier, order to table was much slower, but still not overly long wait. Our waitress was over apologetic for wait and did her best to keep our restless baby calm.\n3rd visit was this last weekend for some playoff games at the bar with my boys! Great bartending staff that kept our beers full, and shots of Rumplemiz flowing (unfortunately) against my best judgement!"

"Didn't realize this place had a sushi buffet during the week. Had lunch there on Thursday and left full and satisfied. The sushi was fresh and there was a decent amount of variety to choose from. This restaurant serves more than the traditional Japanese fare. They also have a mongolian style barbecue with chicken, pork, or shrimp. Additionally, they have a limited selection of Korean food with some of the well known side dishes like kimchi and other pickled vegetables.\n\nThe ambiance and decor was pleasant and not over the top. There were plenty of tables and booths to accommodate a decent crowd. Having only eaten here at lunch, I had a strong impression that this restaurant had a good local following. I was impressed that the waitress remembered some of the \"regular\" customers by name and drink preference.\nOverall, this place wasn't bad at all. The buffet can set you back $15 per person, so make sure you come hungry.",
"Food was just okay. At 12:30 when we came in for the lunch buffet, the hot food was barely warm and slightly congealed. They charged us $8 for kids tempura shrimp, then $2 extra for rice. (they gave my 3 year old miso soup...) There were only 2 shrimp in the kids $8 meal. The sushi was allright, but not worth the price. It was grocery store sushi at beat. For 2 buffets and 1 kids meal (no drinks, just water), it cost $40 before tax and tip. \n\nService was okay.",
"Although a little pricey, definitely some of the best sushi in the area. It was the first place I tried sushi and since falling in love with it I've been to other places which were also good but not so much as here, so I always find myself coming back to this place for the quality and quantity. The staff is always very friendly and ready to answer any questions you have.",
"Ginza offers a nice Asian spread, sushi and Korean dishes. Lunch buffet is a great way to sample both.",
"Sushi buffet was good. Food was good. The build-it-yourself-stir-fry part was my favorite- awesome! Would go back next time I'm in town!",
"I visit this restaurant at least once a month. The staff is always friendly and welcoming and the food is always top-notch. Yes, it can be a little pricey compared to other restaurants in the area, but when you compare the style and quality of the food, Ginza is a worthwhile little gem. Their sushi menu offers some creative specialty rolls, some of which change seasonally. The gomoku udon is fantastic and on par with what I have had in Tokyo. A small selection of Korean items is also available along with the wide array of Japanese fare, all of which have proven just as tasty as the standard items. Ginza does a pretty decent job of takeout as well. So, if you don't have 60-90 minutes for your meal, most of their items seem to travel well.",
"This place is ok but very expensive 15 dollars for the lunch buffet which would have maybe been fine except I am a vegetarian so I don't know what I was expecting. I guess it would be better if you could suggest rolls or something but you have to just take what is there.",
"Wonderful cozy setting, $15 all you can eat sushi buffet m-f and great staff! Try the Tony roll! Mmm I have been a regular here since they opened and it's always been my favorite sushi restaurant!",
"the sushi was good. Very limited buffet. only two stars because of the price of the buffet, $15. been to all you can eat sushi buffets with a much better spread for cheaper. I have been in for dinner one other time and received two rolls for over 30 bucks. Not priced right for the area, rather go to crazy buffet any day or Grille 54 for rolls",
"I have been to some of the best sushi restaurants in and out of the country and I've got to say - Incredibly Amazing is the best way to describe Ginza. The food is always fresh and delicious, largest sushi rolls in town, and the best Hibachi grilled shrimp and chicken. Talk about a hidden Gem!! .... Don't forget to try the pomegranate wine."

"Indy's yummiest breadsticks!\n\nThis place is great! A very small locally owned chain. You can't beat the 'Big Ten' deal..it is 2 sodas, a large one-topping pie, and an order of sticks. For about $15. Complete bliss late at night after you have had a little too much to drink...\n\nThe people are cool, the food tasty.. can't go wrong with Hot Boxin' It!",
"Our office tried this pizza place for an office luncheon after receiving some coupons in the mail. We were actually pretty impressed! Breadsticks are great, as is the accompanying nacho cheese. Pizzas are good as well. What really caught my eye was the branding. You do not normally see great branding on small pizza chains, but someone really did a great job here. The slogans on the boxes and napkins were quite humorous and made me even want to keep one to take home and show my hubby. LOL, pretty impressive for a pizza brand. Not a huge fan of the tootsie rolls in the pizza box next the pizza though....they get all gummy next to the hot pizzas...yuck! Wish they would just include some in the bag with the napkins and the plates!",
"Good pizza, and as mentioned by someone else, the Big Ten deal is a steal. Awesome breadsticks, nice staff, a fun laid back place to have something to eat. The slogans/branding are very amusing and if you get the chance take a walk toward the restrooms and check out the posters in the hall.",
"Hot Box (formerly Pizza Express) is good stuff. The breadsticks are nice and salty. The pizza's pretty good; not the best I've ever had, but it's definitely better than most.",
"I've been fortunate enough to enjoy Hot Box as both a patron, and a business partner. The Indiana University-inspired pizza joint (locations downtown Indy, Broad Ripple, Fishers and West Lafayette) has always shown its support of the local creative community by providing pizza at local band showcases and various other events (they've fed Mudkids and many other bands over the years). Hot Box has also vended each year at ORANJE, the annual, contemporary art and music experience that I co-produce each year. \nHot Box is a brilliant concept. Located near areas that tend to have a lot of young people, Hot Box's Broad Ripple location is absolutely packed on weekend nights, and I do mean packed, especially late night after the bars close. The pizza is great, and some actually prefer their breadsticks, now a local food icon, over the pizza. You're going to be happy whatever you eat at Hot Box, but I would recommend the multi-grain crust. The cheese dipping sauce for the bread sticks is slightly addictive, and I would also recommend giving the Dixie Chix pizza a go (bbq sauce, chicken and onions). Almost everyone in the city has ordered a Big Ten Bargain at some point in their lives, especially on those cold Sundays in the winter after a night of being 'over-served' at local watering holes. \nHot Box delivers within the areas close to the restaurants (call them to confirm if you're in their area), but the in-store dining experience is worth it. During the afternoons and early evenings it's a nice, quiet place to eat pizza. Late night after the bars close, it's a madhouse full of drunk people. \nGabe, Susanna and the rest of the staff are tremendous. This is definitely a pizza place where you have fun and enjoy the experience. Get your Big Ten on and don't forget that cheese sauce!",
"A taste of Bloomington comes to Indianapolis. And it was good. When I used to go visit my friends in B-town I made Hot Box (Pizza Express back then) a must go. Now it is here in town and I can get my BBQ chicken pizza fix whenever I want. \n\nThe BBQ chicken pie is the way to go, if you don't agree...leave now. They have some great options on the build your own pie section, but I'll let them do it for me. \n\nThe Big 10 which includes soda's and breadsticks, is a great way to get a full meal for cheap, its like $12 bucks I think, used to be $10 but with inflation being the way it is...you gotta do what you gotta do to make ends meet. \n\nDining in is always an option, mostly because on many nights the wait for delivery is excruciating.",
"Hot Box is good, no doubt about it. My roommate and I straggled over here in our high-heeled knee-high boots after a vodka-feuled evening at the Vogue, and it definitely gave us what we needed. I recommend the pesto sauce.\n\nOriginally I gave this only three stars because, in my opinion, it's overpriced. Nearby Marco's is just as good, and considerably cheaper. However, I just looked up Marco's and learned that it's a franchise--that was news to me--so that could explain the cost difference, as I'm pretty sure Hot Box is local. I try to support local business whenever possible, so I'll give 'em a break and bump it up to four stars, but I really wish I could give 3 and a half, since I think even that excuse doesn't explain the degree of overpriced-ness. It does seem to be open until all hours, though, so if you're stumbling around on the Strip looking for something greasy to soak up all those Mojitos, this is a surefire bet.",
"Yes, it's tasted mighty good in the past. And who can beat the Big Ten special? But I'll take my pizza, sans rodents and insects.....here's their Marion County Health Report. It's funny that even after reading the report, I still give them 2 stars. That's how much I want to like them.\n\nhttp://hhcwebfood.mchd.com/HHCWebFood/Reports/InspectionReport.aspx?LicenseNo=105457&dg=dgSearchResults&rowid=1",
"This isn't the most amazing pizza out there, but it's pretty damn good for the money you spend. I enjoy it because it reminds me of a few pizza joints back home. The staff is friendly, the breadsticks are amazing and the fountain beverages are always cold as hell. \n\nBest bet is to complete your order online. It's easy, simple and fun!\n\nI'll definitely go back",
"While we used to order from here at least once every couple of weeks (and often more), it's been nearly a year since we've had our HotBox fix. The problem: It became literally impossible to complete an order here. The phone system is annoying and full of pretend typing sounds from a computer. The internet ordering system is a little better for inputting an order.\n\nUnfortunately, once you submit your order, who knows if you'll get it? FOUR times in a row we ordered and never received our pizza or received it only after waiting on hold forever to try and reach a real person to address the fact it was never delivered. Ordering a pizza should not be that difficult. I gave up and get my pizza from other joints now, even if I like HotBox a little better than most."

"We loved Mirko Demonbreun and had eaten there three times - each time we were delighted with 1) freshness of the food 2) the range of authentic Italian dishes on the menu 3) the great service 4) value for money 5) super delicious flavours. So when I stumbled upon the soft launch of Mirko Donelson and being invited to come and eat for free - apetisers, mains and dessert to help them celebrate their new location I jumped at it. We arrived at 7pm and the place was packed. We found a table outside and expected to wait but the service from Missy our waitress was super fast and courteous. Our next door table had a 3-year old boy who was a challenge however the way Missy respectfully served the wiggly youngster was impressive. This proved to me that Mirko is a family friendly place. But parents would be wise to get an outside table if their kids are noisy because inside with the concrete floors and hard surfaces could make it hard to take extra kid noise -and we all know that kids don't have volume controls. The food was amazing AGAIN - AS USUAL. This time we had calamari appetiser, fresh home made pasta Sorrenti with seafood, an 8oz medium rare sirloin with a half portabello mushroom with feta cheese and crisp baked potato cubes and an awesome house salad, followed by chocolate and strawberry crepes. Wonderfully authentic and super fresh. We're fans of Mirko Pasta and we'll be back for sure. This is as good as it gets. Mirko deserves to be on your list of fave italian restaurants. It is on ours.",
"I wrote a bad review on the one in Mt Juliet a few months ago. Today I got dragged to this one in Donelson because of a business meeting. Realizing every restaurant has a bad day or a dish go bad I didn't protest with my client because they wanted to try it. \n\nToday's trip and their Ravioli seals my opinion. My client had the same opinion. I hate it, this location is close to the house. I am really bewildered by the people who rave about it. I just don't get it",
"I stopped here last week (apparently not long after their soft opening...) to have a late lunch. I was pleased to see an Italian offering in this area, so I was very anxious to try them out.\n\nGiven the late lunch time( after 1pm), there was no crowd and I was immediately seated.\n\nThey claim to prepare their pastas fresh daily, so I was hopeful of a full flavor sensation! I chose the Tortelli di Zucca (butternut squash ravioli with mascarpone cream and radicchio sauce). \n\nThey have a decent selection of wines, with reasonably-priced offerings to compliment any entree. Complimentary bread was good, too, along with the olive oil-based dip.\n\nShortly thereafter, my entree arrived. The pasta was tender, stuffed with a rich butternut squash. The cream and sauce were perfect companions to the pasta - - I thoroughly enjoyed the dish. So, I'm happy to acknowledge that the flavor sensation I was seeking was delivered! \n\nWhile I've had better pasta, this experience was certainly very good - especially for the price and location!\n\nRecap:\n- Very good flavor\n- Generous portion\n- Reasonable prices\n- Good service and follow-up\n\nThis appears to me to be the first reasonably decent Italian offering to hit ol' \"hip\" Donelson. A very good start at moving this tired 'burb up the scale for a new and better culinary treat. I suggest you give them a try!\n\nBon appetit!",
"I've never steered anyone to Olive Garden before, but if you want franchise chain pasta, head for OG over Mirko. \n\nHad the papparadelle with funghi (mushroom cream) sauce and was decidedly underwhelmed. The pasta was stuck together in a clump, and the sauce was thin and without the earthiness the mushrooms should have imparted. The fettuccine pesto wasn't as problematic, but pesto should have a bright flavor from fresh basil, not be muted by cream. Blah. \n\nUsually before writing a bad review, I feel it is important to go more than once to see if the experience will be different, but once was enough for me. If you specialize in pasta, you should know how to keep it from sticking together - basically that just tells me it was old.",
"I am now your biggest fan!!! Great food!!! However, I am a bigger fan of Michael.\nI have been in the restaurant industry for 25 years. Service was impeccable. Couldn't have done better myself. And what a looker. I will be back and will spread the word",
"I got my order to-go for lunch from here one day...\n\n- The food was pretty good. It was pasta - nothing spectacular but I kind of expected that already.\n\nWhat made it go down to three stars...\n\n- My to-go order was not ready on time, I had to wait around.\n\n- It was way more expensive than what I believe it needs to be for pasta.\n\nSo, all in all - it was okay. I am thinking about going back to try an \"in-restaurant\" dining experience. We'll see what happens then!",
"The fact that Mirko Pasta makes their pasta from scratch translated into eating some of the best pasta I've ever had. Would highly recommend this italian restaurant. My wife and I look forward to going back again very soon.",
"I would put this restaurant on par or maybe a little above olive garden. I love Italian food and this place had some good choice. \n\nI am a student at Art Institute in Nashville and went there after class for my lunch/dinner before my next class. I am getting a culinary degree so at times I can be a little critical of food.\n\nI had the chicken marsala and it came with fried potato's mixed with sautéed spinach (seemed to be an odd choice of side for the dish. The potato's I believe were deep fried before tossed with the spinach. The portion size wasn't bad and it was enough food without being too much. The marsala sauce had good flavor and wasn't too thick or too runny. \n\nThat being said I did have two issues with my meal. First off the mushrooms were from a can, I feel fresh mushrooms would really up the quality of the dish and they don't take that long to prep up in the morning. Secondly the parmesan cheese was the dried powder type and I honestly was surprised they didn't offer fresh grated.\n\nAll in all though it was a good meal for the price and I can see myself going back there to try out their fresh pasta with one of the many different sauces they offer",
"First time here tonight. Pretty impressed, staff was great and knowledgable. Food was so good. First time I had ever had fresh home made pasta. There is a lot to chose from on the menu. Priced fair for what you are getting. Pino nior wine was really good goes well with the food. They have a butternut squash ravioli that was very good. I was really impressed with this place. I'm looking forward to going back and trying new items off the menu.",
"This place is great! As someone who has had homemade fresh pasta at restaurants in NYC and LA, I am always looking for a good handmade pasta shop in Nashville. Nothing compares to fresh, and Mirko's pasta was fresh and good. People are commenting that it is like Olive Garden, and it is NOT. OG isn't near as good. Get the Butternut Squash pasta with Pink Sauce. You won't be disappointed."

"Is this a dream? A mix of hearty Southern food and healthy dishes like their excellent salads, fruits, smoked salmon? All you can eat brunch? Cooked by a real chef who loves to cook, not some frozen food heated by a kitchen staff?\n\nI've been to their Sunday brunch buffet several times and always leave stuffed and satisfied. I usually equate all you can eat brunch with low quality or high prices. The Daily Dish fills a segment with a price a little higher than chain stores but lower than luxury hotels, yet the quality as good as or better than many luxury hotels. The made-to-order waffles are super fluffy and the omelets are customizable a zillion different ways.\n\nTheir meat and three prices are also quite reasonable and I expect to return for a dinner sometime soon.",
"We really liked the big salads, they are made fresh and seem like something you would get at some of the more trendy places in Nashville.\nSandwiches and soups we have tried were very good too.\n\nThe southern stuff has not appealed to us. It is laid out cafateria style, and has always looked a bit un-appetizing.",
"This is the best food in this price range that you can get and comes with a cozy and quaint atmosphere. Not only is it southern style cooking, without going overboard on the butter or fat, but they offer some amazingly good eclectic salads and sandwiches, like cornmeal-encrusted mahi-mahi sandwich, almond-encrusted goat cheese salad, plus chicken and burgers. The mango and other flavored iced-teas are a great beverage offering as well.",
"The Daily Dish is a pretty consistent standby for us. They have a consistent assortment of homed comfort food that isn't healthy but is good. The fried chicken and pork chops are my favorite, but every day has a new surprise. And there is a consitent menu of made to order items as well for those not inclined to the steam table.",
"One of our favorites in Franklin. We're there once a week. Cool little meat & three that also has a bit of gourmet casual menu to order. Our kids get the meat & two (typically okra and mac & cheese) and my wife and I almost always have the cornmeal encrusted mahi mahi sandwich. So good. People are nice. Food is awesome. And Sunday brunch is unfreakingbelievable.",
"The food here is good but the prices are high. Their Sunday brunch is a must, but I would head over to one of the other local meat and threes if I was looking for lunch. The made to order salads are a nice option though and not something the other M&3's offer.",
"The Sunday Brunch at the Daily Dish is the best way to pass a leisurely morning. The cool jazz, the sumptuous beef and ham carving table, the fresh breads and eggs to order make this not only a delicious way to pass the time but gets the morning off to a great start. Chef Sean Begin oversees this delight little restaurant and makes it a great deal more than just a meat and three.",
"I don't know if they've improved in the past few months, but I've been here about a dozen times and I've given up on the place. \n\nYes, if the food is fresh, it can be fairly tasty. Their fried chicken is nothing to be sneered at and their grits are pretty fine. I like how they offer a couple of chutneys and relishes that definitely add to the overall experience. But that's about it. Their prices are absurdly high and their specials are often recycled dishes from a few days ago. Leftover beef? Use it for bad tasting chili or some other soup. I'm OK with inventive uses for old food, but if the recycled food tastes old, the cook hasn't done his job and it shouldn't be sold, special or no. \n\nDo not order off the menu. Sandwiches are weak at best. Their hamburger might be the worst in town. If you're in a bind, go to Barbara's down the street. If you've got time, go to Arnold's in Nashville.",
"I dined here for brunch with my family on a Sunday for their all-you-can-eat buffet. I should state that I am a pescatarian, so the price for buffet ($16 if I recall) is very high to not be able to eat the other meats, but, that was my decision. The buffet was laid out nicely and each item I tried tasted good. In addition to the buffet, you may order separately, included in your price, like a made to order omelet or a Belgian style waffle. \n\nMy server (Eli) was very, very professional and attentive. Actually, each person we encountered was super accommodating since we had our 6 week old infant with us. \n\nThe place is really small, the decor was meh and the floor was slippery (?)\nThe server's aprons reminded me of Cracker Barrel. They should probably rethink the brown. \n\nI would probably stop in for a lunch item or takeout because the menu reads well, but I won't return for the Sunday all-you-can-eat because of my limitations.",
"It says that five stars means \"as good as it gets\" and Daily Dish is \"best in class.\" What is the class? Small casual local eatery. I'm not comparing Daily Dish to The Palm or Ruth's Chris. I'm rating it against restaurants that around here they call \"meat and three's.\" (Not being from Tennessee or the south, I'd never heard that phrase before but quickly learned that it means an entree and three sides.) For the most part meat and threes are casual places that you can go to in anything from shorts and a tee shirt to \"Sunday Best\" after church.\n\nWhat I want to tell you about is their Sunday Brunch. I've lived in Franklin for almost 7 years but never knew about the Daily Dish. This morning I was looking for a Sunday All You Can Eat Brunch Buffet and ran across another Yelp review that said it was great so I took my 13 year old and two of my 11 year old triplet sons.\n\nWhen we sat down the waiters asked if it was our first time and when we said \"yes,\" she proceeded to tell us about everything available. Shrimp, smoked salmon, bagels, a mango & strawberry salad with mixed greens; a pastry station with a nice assortment; a cheese station with goat cheese, melted brie, strawberries and more; a banana Foster's station; a dessert station with creme brûlée, melted chocolate with strawberries and marshmallows. The hot stuff includes eggs benedict, sausage patties, awesome thick bacon, a breaded/encrusted puff thingy with goat cheese in the middle, grits that my son said were the best he ever had, shredded potatoes with cheese and a few other items I can't remember.\n\nOn top of that, you can order any type of egg or omelette you want from the kitchen, made to order and Belgian Waffles with chocolate chips, Oreos and a couple of other options I can't remember (all included in the price). The made to order stuff you order from your server. One of my 11 year olds ordered TWO chocolate chip Belgian waffles. The waitress told us they could be ordered as a quarter, half or whole. That shoulda been my clue. I told my son he could order ONE and if he ate that one he could get another. Whew! He ate MAYBE a quarter. Their huge, fluffy, topped with whipped cream. My other two sons took one look and ordered a quarter which was more than enough.\n\nIn short, GO!\n\nMy sons asked me if we could go there every Sunday. We won't, but for sure we'll go once a month.\n\nPrice was $16.99 for adults and 1/2 price, $7,99 for kids 12 and under. I, ahem, palmed my 13 year old off as 12. At $7.99 for kids it's a great deal... at $17 for a kid... not so much. I felt the price was fine for an adult.\n\nAs another review said, it's near-luxury hotel buffet at a moderate price.\n\nBest endorsement is that I'll go back many times."

"This place is legit. My girlfriend and I eat crab all the time. We had the blue crab and everything down to the butter was done right. We go everywhere in philly looking for proper crab of all sorts and so many places have fallen off, it was great to go somewhere new that knew what they were doing. The piano man is even great.",
"I went here a few days after they opened, and had a really good seafood experience. The crab cakes were delicious, and the homemade potato chips that came with them were really good. We got some steamed crabs and a few sides and everything was made really well. The atmosphere was cool with the music, and I really enjoyed their drink selection. A welcome addition to the neighborhood!",
"Finally a true blue Maryland Crab House in Old City! I visited shortly after the 4th of July and my friends and I were delighted to taste the authenticity of the jumbo blue crabs! They truly are sourced from Maryland I do not doubt that--as a former Marylander I've had plenty of \"Maryland-Style\" crabs and this place takes the (crab) cake!\nThanks and cheers! I'll definitely be back!",
"Understanding that our visit was 5 days into the Nauti Mermaid's existence in Philadelphia:\n\nCrab: Generally well-sized, well-seasoned with Old Bay, and reasonably priced (6 for $40, 12 for $75). The Colossal Crab Cake was good, too: tons of crab meat, though I wished for a bit more horseradish remoulade to go with it.\n\nNon-crab: The oysters were $2/shuck and, raw, were enjoyed by our table. The shrimp cocktail was terrific. The slaw side was nice and refreshing. The fries were not quite crispy and slightly over-seasoned--ketchup might have helped to tone down the salt factor. The prime rib nachos were served deconstructed, i.e., with a few round, fried tortillas on the side of pureed meat'n'beans with a few peppers thrown in: would not order again. The fried green tomatoes were good: served with chopped bits of pork.\n\nDrinks: The Blueberry Mojito Mocktail was quite tasty; the New Fashioned was judged too sweet/fruity for one who generally enjoys Old Fashioned.\n\nImportant to note, particularly for diners who are allergic to seafood, currently the menu is much more limited than that on the website, so don't expect as many non-seafood choices as shown online.\n\nWill return for more crabs, and to see how the service settles in: for the second time at this second new restaurant of the day, we were not greeted by a hostess. This time we stood awkwardly for a bit until one in our party went and asked where we should sit.",
"This place just opened, but let me tell you, it was AMAZING. The crab cake we had was so fresh. The blue crabs were juicy and delicious. Customer service was great and the owner, Amy, was so friendly. She gave us her business card and told us to give her a call before we come in. I will definitely be back here again!",
"Nauti Mermaid is a cool new restaurant with a great ambiance. We went on a Friday evening and it was packed! Had about a 20 minute wait but we went upstairs to the dueling piano bar \"Jolly's\" for drinks. The restaurant did just open and it appeared they were under staffed for a Friday night. \n\nWe ordered the bookmakers salad and colossal crab cakes. The salad was good, but the menu called for grilled shrimp and what was served was cocktail shrimp. The crab cakes we're phenomenal! Cooked perfect and great portion size. The fries and Cole slaw that accompanied the crab cakes were also delicious. The fried were crisp on the outside with a soft center and the Cole slaw was very light, and not overpowering. It was the perfect side dish for the crab cakes and fries.\n\nOverall the food was great and we will be back because of it. On food alone I would say it was a hard 4/5. The reason for the 3/5 was due to service which can easily be corrected with more staff. Looking forward to our next visit.",
"You can tell this is a new restaurant, so I don't want to be too harsh. But the wait on a Friday night was extraordinarily long and it looked like there was only one server for the whole restaurant. However the food quality is actually very good. I'm hoping to return in the next couple of months and hopefully they've ironed out the kinks in service.",
"I called ahead of time to reserve a table for a group of 11 people on a Saturday night. The lady on the phone was very nice and accommodating. I did have to bump my reservation up an hour due to my large party size but no biggie. They asked if I wanted cake and someone to sing I said sure. \n\nI called earlier the day of to add 1 more person to the reservation, they said ok. We arrived and got drinks at the bar because we were a little early. We then went to our table in the back. The table was only set for 10 people not 12, we grabbed other chairs from nearby. \n\nService was kinda slow and it did take awhile for our food to come out. It's still a new restaurant so I'll give them a pass. The she crab soup had good flavor but could have used more crab in it- I only got a few pieces of lump crab. The crabcake was decent. It had some good size lump pieces, but the inside was slightly on the mushy side. The fries were a little soggy as well. \n\nThe steam pot was the thing to order here, it was delicious. Luckily my friends couldn't eat all of theirs and gave me some of their food. The blue crabs were a good size. I loved the spicy broth they used for the steam pot, it complimented it well. The piano player gave me a birthday shoutout and played a couple of songs I requested, which made me feel special. He also sang happy birthday when they brought my piece of smith island cake out. I kind of thought the cake was going to be complimentary by the way they asked on the phone, but it wasn't. It was a little on the dry side, but the chocolate fudge part of it was good. \n\nWe all had a fun night out. It was also cool you get to go to jolly's piano bar upstairs afterwards free of charge. Highlights of the night were the steam pot and the piano singer. If we come back I'll definitely get the steam pot next time.",
"Crabs were a good size, full of meat and had a great spice on them that is their version of Old Bay I'd imagine, it was right up my alley. \n\nThe oysters we had for happy hour were a buck a shuck and were from I believe Maryland. Very delicious. \n\nOverall the vibe was good for a Tuesday happy hour. I really hope these guys get some traction because the city needs a good crab house.",
"This is a great restaurant with a great intimate (small) feel. Menu is a bit limited, but everything we had was bang'n. I took my three kids here, 14, 11 and 5...there were no kids menus, but that is fine with me, I take my kids to 'trendy' restaurants, and we work very well without kids menus. Every dish we ordered was out of this world... Fried green tomatoes were delish...although there were only three slices per order, they were well worth it (kids begged for another order) . The she-crab soup was some of the best I EVER had...really amazing. The oysters on the half shell were fresh and so good my five year old has proclaimed them to be his new favorite food (mac & cheese was so much cheaper). The key lime martini and the blueberry mint mojito are both recommended.\n\nSo why not a five star rating? My kids' sodas were $5 each... I was told it was because of the Philly soda tax, but this is disingenuous, no where in the city did we pay more than $2.50 for a dinner soda, even at our hotel bar, or even our dinner cruise... $15.00 for 3 kid sodas is shameful (and to blame the soda tax is even more disgusting/deceptive). \nSecondly our entrees came out at different times. My youngest son's shrimp came first, then 5 minutes later two of my boys received their crab cake dinner, and ten minutes later my fried oysters arrived.\n\nOur server was excellent, and other diners really seemed to be enjoying their choices, this place specializes in whole crabs and crab pots, neither of which we ordered, but everyone around us got the crabs and were loving their cracking... (our crab cakes and boardwalk fries were great)\n\nGreat staff, excellent food, bad (soda) pricing, poor plate timing...cozy atmosphere... I'd definitely come back. It seems like a restaurant that needs to get its groove... I think this place is 4 1/2 stars...but I can't give half star ratings.\n\nWe will go back to this restaurant...you should go there as well."

"my wife and i live down the street from franklins and we have been keeping an eye on its progress and are very excited it has finally opened.\n\nwent in last saturday afternoon to watch the temple / psu game and again sunday night to watch the eagles game. wasnt too busy on saturday so we had a chance to talk to some of the staff and the owner a little bit. they were all super friendly. we ordered the french onion soup, the poutine and buffalo fingers and it was all really good. def love the skee ball and basketball game- it does make the bar a little noisy but i think it is def worth the trade off.\n\nsun night there was a good sized crowd as expected during football. staff was still very friendly and didnt seem at all overwhelmed- never had to wait for drinks or food. we had some kind of burger with guac that was delicious. tons of tv's so we were able to watch the phils and the eagles at the same time on tv's right near us. they also have the nfl package so all nfl games are available which is nice.\n\nonly down side was the beer list was not huge and contained mostly commercial beers. would love to see more craft beer or at least more of the local craft beers. can not wait to go back sometime to hang out on their HUGE deck (too bad its prob too late for an oktoberfest out there). overall we really enjoyed franklins and are excited for a new bar in the neighborhood.",
"My husband and I checked this place out Sunday--what an asset to East Falls, and right around the corner from our place! They seem to be working out the menu, but the food we ordered (nachos and poutine) was good, the staff was friendly, and the building was pleasant to be ing.\n\nI don't know what the previous reviewer was talking about with respect to beer options--the tap list at this place is HEAVEN compared to most of the options in the area (the only one that I think I would rate higher is Falls Taproom, and that because they rotate and have more local options). We enjoyed that there were 4-5 choices each for the standard stuff (bud, miller, etc), imports (spaten, etc) and craft beers (local options, seasonals, etc). They had pumpkin beer on tap during the fall, which signals to me that they are trying to appeal to a more educated palate.\n\nWe will definitely be back--I hope to see some more local craft brews on there in the future!",
"The place where franklin's stands now, has been playing russian roulette as a lot of earlier tenants have come and gone, but i hope franklin's is here to stay ! It's quite a laid back neighborhood place with bunch of screens where u can even catch ur favorite teams play.\n\nI don't know how long the deal is gonna last , but franklin's has the best happy hour deals on this side of the Schuylkill ! A lot of juicy 0.25 cent wings we gorged upon ferociously whilst trying to pay attention to the bingo numbers being called out in the background , on once a Wednesday. \n\nWith a tonne of seating and an uber friendly staff that goes along with a solid beer choices and a bunch of well drinks on the cheap , Franklin's certainly makes for one helluva night out in the burbs of east falls ...",
"Well, now that the menu has expanded beyond the bar menu I'm less than impressed.\nThe food isn't fresh and most of what I've had wasn't even made to order.\nThe last time we went the service was not good, the food was less than average and the atmosphere is not what I would hope for for family dining.\nI wouldn't recommend Franklin's to anyone anymore. In fact I'd encourage friends to go somewhere else.\nI wish them all the best, but I won't be back.",
"I went during the Monday night Eagle's game with a couple of friends. Their staff was really friendly and efficient, the place is clean and open and not too loud, the happy hour special is such a great deal, and the beer selection for the price just couldn't be beat! My friends and I had 25 cent wings and $2.50 Hop Devils. I can't wait to go back and try more food options, I can only imagine it'll get even better as they work out the kinks of being a new place.",
"Good decor, nice beer selection, lots of screens and a great deck. Also service is super friendly and efficient in getting my food. I love to play the jukebox and that they have one is excellent.\n\nThat leaves one problem: the food is not really that great. I have had burgers and chicken fingers that were so-so. It wasn't that satisfying. Now I know that is bar food, not fancy restaurants, but there are restaurants that exceed in the food quality and most bar food usually has something tasty to keep me coming, but I haven't found here in Franklin's yet.",
"My wife and I live down the street so we were excited to see this place open. Has kind of a sports bar / neighborhood bar vibe. Good solid bar food and great specials. What they don't charge in beer and food prices they make back from me in skee ball though. \n\nStaff is nice and attentive. We'll be back.",
"Franklins is awesome! Best happy hour specials in the city ($2 Miller Lite bottles all day every day, 25 cent wings)! Awesome staff. I've been going there for happy hour about once a week since they opened and I'll continue to do so until they kick me out!",
"I have been been to Franklin's quite a bit since they opened, probably around once a week. This includes when they opened with a limited menu, while they now have a full menu. This is where I think Franklin's runs into trouble - it seems that they can't figure out what kind of restaurant they want to be. \n\nIf you take a quick glance at their menu, you'll notice that the prices are slightly high when considering this is the same place that has among the cheapest (and longest) happy hours that I've seen in a while, in addition to $2 Miller bottles all the time. They have Skee-Ball, basketball, and a golf game in one half of the restaurant, then they have a \"regular\" sit down part with the menu that I mentioned above. \n\nThe service is great, the manager is always friendly when I'm there, and the food is good....not great. I think they went overboard on the TV's, but that's just me. In addition, they have a good beer selection (including your usuals and some rotating micros/crafts). I think they need to decide, and pretty quickly, what kind of crowd they are going after and what kind of restaurant they are going to be. A combination of a sports bar and a nice sit-down restaurant just doesn't seem like it's going to work, especially considering where they are located (an out of the way location that's not going to get passerby traffic).",
"I've been to Franklin's a half-dozen times since they opened and I've enjoyed the food every time. Since I moved to East Falls last spring, I've been trying to find my \"wing place\" and now I can say that Franklin's is it. \n\nThe wings are good and crispy and drenched in their sauce, which is the way I like 'em. In addition to the wings, Frankin's offers the usual Philly bar fare: roast pork and roast beef, burgers etc, but also offers poutine, which for the uninitiated, is basically gravy fries with cheese. \n\nThe beer selection is good, the jukebox is good and the hot shot basketball and skee-ball games are great. I'm looking forward to next summer when I can sit on their deck, drink beer and eat wings."

"Coming from california, I was used to yummy bakeries and when i thought i found something similar here i was very excited So my expectations were high for this bakery since it had some good ratings for cakes. But this was a small family owned bakery. Although I didnt buy the cakes, there were only a small variety and it didnt look too great. There were a selection for pies and I got a small pear cranberry pecan pie for $6. It was good but it was not $6 good. I dont think i will go back; but worth a shot",
"I have to say, I was so sad to read the negative reviews on this small bakery. I have been going to the bakery house since they made the Best of Philly a few years ago. I have ordered several cakes from them and eaten pies and pastries from there too. I love their coconut cakes!!! The coconut flavor is throughout the cake and not as sweet as many others I have had. The highlight of the vanilla or chocolate cakes is definitely the chocolate icing!! It is fabulous!! The staff have also always been very accommodating for me....decorating a cake at the last minute without any fuss. I can't say enough how much I like this bakery.",
"This is the best bakery around for birthday cakes. Seriously. Worth driving 30 minutes to. Once you have had a cake from here, all other cakes don't even compare.\n\nThe white cake with white icing is my favorite combination...the cake is somewhere between the consistency and flavor of a pound cake mixed with a traditional cake, so it's thick but not heavy. The icing is amazing and rich and full of that great vanilla flavor. \n\nCakes are not expensive and the bakery is a joy to visit.",
"I am rather astounded that anyone could diss this place, which features some of the best baked goods I have ever had, bar none (and I'm a baker!).\n\nThe Bakery House's cakes are, quite simply, the best homemade cakes you will experience in the region. No fancy tortes or ganaches, just pure, simple cake made with quality ingredients. Moist and well-textured with wonderful icings made with real butter. Whenever I have gotten a cake for any occasion, there have always been rave reviews and new converts to the Bakery House. Try the red velvet cake or coconut cake or cherry pie or key lime bars or ... or ... or ... just about anything. You can't go wrong here.\n\nCookies, pies, turnovers - they're all outstanding (terrific pie crusts) - and they've got a friendly staff to boot (not like the usual Mainline \"you're so lucky we waited on you\" attitude). \n\nNOM! NOM! NOM!",
"I am extremely lucky to live so close to this incredible bakery! I've gone there frequently for many years and can no longer show up at my family get togethers without a strawberry roll, fruit tart, or chocolate mocha cake...They are completely spoiled! I have never found a bakery in the Phila. area that compares with Bakery House. Its not cheap, but well worth it. Its just a small neighborhood bakery, would be nice if they could enlarge it as there are long lines during any holiday. Very nice people, excellent baked goods.",
"This bakery is so scrumdiddlyumptious, your tastebuds will be thanking you for the taste of heaven they just lapped up. I look for a good bakery everywhere I go. This one takes the cake! Oh, yes! We're talking sweets now.... During the winter, the pumpkin crisp is out of this world. It doesn't LOOK so good, but trust me, looks are deceiving. I strongly recommend you try this. Also, I've had the apple caramel pecan pie. I took small bites simply because I didn't want the flavor to end. (That goes for the pumpkin crisp as well!) Their lemon bars are quite good too. \nIf you're looking for more than just wonderful baked goods, the environment here is much like a cozy bakery that you'd imagine in some small old colonial town. And has an impressive array of cakes, pies, fruit bars, cookies, muffins, even dog treats... I haven't even named half of what they have to offer. As an additional treat, you may be lucky enough to be there when they hand out samples. \nTake a friend there from out of town! I always do and they are impressed every time! My tummy is rumbling just talking about all their savory goods! Pumpkin crisp anyone?",
"My favorite birthday cake of all time - vanilla with buttercream frosting. So simple, but these guys do it the best! I'm actually a little sad that I won't be celebrating this year on the east coast....but perhaps I can indulge in a little unbirthday cake on my next trip out?!\n\nVery cute shop with loads of goodies (that peanut butter chocolate bar is divine and puts Reese's to shame!), but don't plan on eating in. There's only one little table with two chairs, and you feel mighty special when you score it!",
"Their Bay State muffin is one decent muffin. I'd date it, if such a thing were possible.\n\nI'm hardly a fan of nuts or super sweet muffin tops, but the Bay State manages to have just enough fruity debris atop it to keep me from running out of the room screaming. Plus, its inside is moist; you can't beat a carrot cake-esque filling.",
"Overpriced!\n\nWhen I moved to Bryn Mawr from Rhode Island, I was in search of a good apple pie. I got a recommendation of someone who travels from NJ for their apple pie, so I thought it was a sure thing. After shelling out $22. for an apple pie (!) I was happy to find out that the pie was awful (I did not want to crave such an expensive apple pie). The crust was too dark, the pie was runny and the apples were not cooked (not sure how that is possible since the crust was overdone).",
"My co-worker brought in a huge apple pie from The Bakery House. It is SO GOOD. I think I am going to have to make a trip and check it out myself."

"Nicer location with a wicked awesome arcade and custom art!! Sandwiches are great try the shark bite and service is amazing!",
"We came for the pinballs. We left having fed on some amazing sammiches. Highly recommended. \n\nBHD has a large sandwich menu. This was our first visit and it took a while to look it all over. We got one hot and one cold sandwich: the Drakester and the Surfin' Cow. Both were delicius. I'd describe the Drakester as a jalapeno popper as a sando. The large Surfin' Cow was a sight to behold. At $13 I had high hopes and we weren't disappointed. A huge pile of roast beef, avacado and cream cheese along with the fixins. \n\nAside from the great food, this location has a fantastic retro arcade attached. They have something like 16 upright cabinets, five tables and three pinball coffins. The pinball selection was incredible with Medieval Madness, Fun House and Monster Bash. It's $13 for the Surfin' Cow and $2 for five plays of one of the most valuable pinballs of all time. We spent far more on pinball than the sandwiches. \n\nThe pinball machines were in good working order and were a joy to play. I hope they keep them up!",
"You are a Sandwich shop. How can you be out of bread and ingredients for a sandwich? If you're out of an ingredient, send an employee down the block for some emergency stock. There are four grocery stores right down the street. For the cost of the sandwiches, they should come with all the ingredients listed.",
"I wont dwell too much but definitely overpriced and nothing special.got a small meatball sub and was $8.50 and I have had better",
"Sandwiches are bomb but they don't wear gloves /: I watched one of the girls scratch her head in between making sandwiches.",
"My family was hungry after having moved my daughter into her first home one afternoon. She had heard that the deli down the street was pretty good, so we thought we'd give it a try. We did a little research on her smartphone so we would have an idea what to order for our two vegetarian family members and our three meat eaters. My daughter knew only that she wanted a vegetarian sandwich with LOTS of veggies. There were a few nice choices of bread but she had her eye on the Sliced garlic and Cheese Sourdough. That's as far as we got before I came inside. \n\nI had never been to Beach Hut Deli before, and I did not know the menu or how the sizes worked. The menu was positioned on a large sign behind the workers, and it was a little hard to read. Some places have great veggie sandwiches and some are really bad... so I needed more info to make my decision. There no one in line behind me so I felt okay in asking the young lady for guidance. Boy, was that a mistake. She rolled her eyes, she could not be bothered, and huffed at being put out to help me with my info gathering. I placed a rather large order ($55.00), and waited for her to ask me which kind of bread I wanted. She didn't, so I asked her. She told me they all come on French rolls that get divided up for the sizes. But my daughter wanted sliced bread and I wondered how that worked with the small medium and large since there is quite a sizable difference in price, and so I asked the question. For the veggie S: $6.75. M: $8.75 and L: $11.75. Her answer was belligerent: \"Well we put a lot more of everything on it\" (I waited for her to add, DUH... she was very flippant). I didn't want to take the chance with a Large because it was almost $12.00, and so I changed my order from a LARGE veggie sandwich to a small and a medium, a $2.00 difference in price between the two, and that change apparently pissed her off. She was slamming things by now. \n\nI watched them make the sandwiches and noticed that the two veggie sandwiches appeared to be on simple sliced French bread... not the fancy Cheese Garlic slices requested and advertised, and both sandwiches appeared to be exactly the same size (way too small for the price). And so I asked, \"I don't see any difference between the small and large. Why is it $2.00 more?\"\nGirl: There's more avocado on the medium. \nMe: I don't see it. You're charging me $2.00 more for a few slices of avocado, and I can't even detect a difference? \nHer: (very flippantly) \"I tried to tell you not to order the medium unless it was on a roll but you were being so snippy with me that I couldn't get a word in.\" \n\nMe: SPEECHLESS. Uh, I was only trying to get some guidance with your menu, and by the way, it was YOU who was snippy, not me!\n\nThere was no concession, no acknowledgement of my complaint. There was only attitude. I was horrified at the way this young woman spoke to me. Needless to say, my family won't be visitors at this deli again. \n\nBy the way, I got the questionable sandwiches home and they fell apart before we could even pick them up. \n\nA side Note: I Would have given the restaurant it a 2.5 for three fairly good sandwiches and three pretty bad ones... if indeed the worker hadn't ruined my afternoon with her errant mouth. \nTo the Owner: I hate to publish anyone's name on the internet but your badly behaved employee's name begins a T and has six characters. I assume you'll know who it is.",
"Dark Bite and Gobbler.\n\nWe came, we saw, we ate it all. Along with the Artcade attached this place has nice sandwiches and plenty of games to distract a guy in his mid 30s while his order is being made. Staff was friendly and the prices are on par with most shops these days.\n\nWe will definitely come back again, especially for the well cared for pinball machines (WHY IS RENO FULL OF PINBALL MACHINES WITH BROKEN FLIPPERS *coughNUGGETPEPPERMILL*?).",
"Beach Hut is the bomb! Every time I go back I try a different sandwich and none of them have done me wrong. The place has a great vibe; tropical, youthful, full of energy. There's a killer arcade in the back (find me on NBA Jams), and they have cool murals and paintings around the place. Service is great for the most part, thanks to all of the cute girls. They have several beers on tap and a bar to place them on. They also have one of those awesome Coca-Cola machines where you can create your own soda. A couple sandwiches worth trying are the Shark Bite, Woody, and Skinny Dipper. They are all fresh and made on the spot. My friends and I enjoy coming here; writing this review makes me want to go tomorrow. Surfs up at Beach Hut!",
"This place is amazing! Great food, wonderful atmosphere, and friendly staff. We bring our family for dinner and then stay to play in the attached classic arcade. The owners, Todd & Scott, are two amazing guys that make you feel like you're an instant friend!",
"Good sandwiches but terrible service. Went their twice in the past 2 weeks and both times I had a problem. The first visit I ordered a spiccoli to go and they forgot to add on the bacon. Got home and noticed I had a turkey club with no bacon. Second visit was today 3/9 and I brought my wife and kids. We ordered 2 sandwiches and a hot dog for my son. The sandwiches were fine but after waiting a few we were told that they ran out of hot dogs. All I was asked was if I wanted anything else instead and a sorry and nothing else for being inconvenienced. My son is a picky eater and only wanted the hot dog. So my son sat there and watched us eat and we weren't even given anything for our troubles. I am a local business owner and know that if you inconvenience your guest you always take care of them. I should of got a free sandwich, hot dog, coupon, something on my next visit. Two bad visits I will unfortunately never be going there again. I gave them an extra star because they do have unique good sandwiches but they failed in service."

"Basically the same as Cafe Du Monde. Go here late at night, otherwise go to the Coffee Bean a block away.",
"Morning Call and Cafe du Monde are always battling it out for Cafe au Lait and Beignet supremacy in New Orleans. However, you won't find MC in NOLA. It used to be in the Quarter but then moved out to suburbia decades ago. Beignets are a bit different than the CDM formula. Not as doughy and a little bit crispier. I like them but I prefer the CDM formula a little bit more. Recently they opened a location over at Clearview Shopping Center.",
"Better beignets than at Cafe du Monde. They are lighter and and you can put your own amount of powdered sugar on them. They are not as doughy and crispier. I like how you could walk, not stick to the floor and the workers weren't rude. That was a nice touch. If it weren't for Wake, I would not have known the difference to look for in beignets.",
"Service is ok, cooler and dining on your beignets inside isnt the same but on a hot and humid night you can appreciate the blasting A/C in Morning Call.\n\nCash, parking lot, little wait time.\n\nPrices have gone up but who is gonna complain when it's still pretty cheap. Beignets here are lighter and come plain so that you can toss your own confectioner sugar on it.\n\nOverall if you want the tourist experience head down the French Quarter's, and put your elbows on the sticky tables down there.",
"apparently i'm the only one who doesn't think the beignets at morning call are better than the ones at cafe du monde. i like someone else to regulate my powdered sugar, i guess.\n\ni do, however, think the coffee here kicks the crap out of pretty much anything you'll find in the area. heavy on the chicory. yummy.",
"Okay - Maybe I'm a little tainted on \"regular\" coffee...but I still feel like a three star rating is fine; not bad - just fine.\n\nSo I was on a two day business trip to N.O. and had just enough time to catch a couple of suggested local spots. The guys I was meeting with in N.O. suggested I stop at Morning Call to try the traditional Beignets. I didn't even know what the heck that was till I rolled up at Morning Call (open 24 hrs in a strip mall? Huh...) and walked back in time about 60 years.\n\nI sat down, ordered off the 6 item menu and saw my beignets start in the kitchen and make it Hot! to my plate. No one told me about the powdered sugar so I had a plain one: Good. Then sugared away: Awesome. \n\n**My only disappointment was the coffee - which my N.O. co-workers thought was great. When I order a regular coffee; what I mean is Black Coffee with Caffeine in it please. I was in for a shock because what they brought me was a thick light brown hot drink which may have heard about this other brown liquid called coffee in a fairy -tale long ago. \n\nOkay, really? It wasn't bad. Just didn't clear the fried beignet taste out of my mouth. Instead it was like drinking brown whipping cream.\n\nNow that I know that it's served that way I can deal in the future. I'm sure I'll be back for those delicious beignets.\n\n**watch out in certain mid-Atlantic states where they also think \"regular\" means with a ton of cream & SUGAR! Egad!",
"If you want the tourist experience, head to Cafe Du Monde in the Quarter. \n\nIf you want a real, honest to goodness, hot out the fryer beignet, you have to hit Morning Call. The service can be a little iffy at times, and it is all the way out in Metairie, but honestly, if you want the best, you deal with the issues and make your way out there. Cafe Du Monde is such a tourist trap that they keep their beignet's under heat lamps. Morning Call makes them so fresh they'll still be dripping a bit from the fryer when you get them.\n\nAwesome.",
"powdered sugar on a freshly fried doughnut.\n\nyou can't beat it.\n\n... and one of my favorite cups of coffee.",
"The beignets here were so fresh and yummy and the coffee was just delicious! I would go back if I am ever in Louisiana again.",
"Morning Call makes better beignets than Cafe du Monde.\n\nThere I said it. The cat is out of the bag. Granted, the coffe at MC isn't close to as good as it is at CDM. CDM for coffe, MC for beignets - thats my motto. Ther service here is and alway has been slow, but there is no better palce to blow powdered sugar all over your prom date's dress or tux at 1 am."

"Been a huge fan of the East Falls Taproom, and anxiously awaiting this opening. we were NOT disappointed!\n\nWhile the bean dip appetizer was fine (nothing to write home about, except the raw carrot!), the rest was amazing! \n\nThe lemonade was perfectly strong, more tart than sweet, definitely geared towards adults. The mixed cocktail with Sage liquor was refreshing and well-balanced. The Fried Green Tomato BLT looked unexciting, and as though the bread was way too thick: wrong! It was delish! The bread was so much lighter than it looked, and there was some flavor we just couldn't place but loved! (Did they pickle the tomatoes?) The fried chicken was to die for, which is saying something since we were HUGE fans of the fried chicken from The Wine Thief. The mashed potatoes tasted like what you'd make at home if you made them from scratch, the braised kale and apples and PERFECT combo. \n\nWe were too full for dessert, but got pieces of salt water taffy with the check--nice touch. \n\nI'll be heading back with girlfriends this week, so hopefully I'll have room for dessert!",
"4 stars 4 days in... I'd say they're doing very well for still being a newbie.\n\nSo far, so good. The menu is pretty big and has delicious, fresh offerings. As well as excellent drinks--both of the alcoholic and mon-alcoholic variety.\n\nWe had the grilled corn and asparagus salad with homemade buttermilk herb dressing and chicken salad with grapes sandwich on thick, toasted, grainy bread. Both were fantastic.,The shoestring fries also rocked.\n\nIt's a beautiful airy space with a nice bar and soon to have outdoor space... I hope it excels. And I hope to try it again soon.",
"When you first walk in, it looks great: atmosphere has a rustic farm stand charm, there is a nice bar and good music playing. Off to the side is a 'garden' along the alley that looks like a good drinking spot on a nice night. Service was very attentive. \n\nSo why three stars?\nFood is on par with the neighborhood and well, the whole city: mediocre. So should I rate it higher because everything else around here kinda sucks, too? I dunno, wait, yes I do, and no, I will not. Nothing was outstandingly good nor was it outstandingly bad. It was fine, okay, fine. The servings were large, especially the sandwiches but sadly, one cannot substitute quality with quantity. \n\nThere are many cocktail choices though again nothing tasted spectacular, and some were just thin. \nDessert was yummy.",
"Mt. Airy has struggled for a good food venue, like this! I love this place. The menu is nice and varied. I loved the grilled peach salad and the vegetarian bacon cheeseburger. My date got the beet salad and it was great. Everyone around me was trying the fried chicken or the fried green tomato sandwich. Next time! \n\nWe had a great time. It's a little loud but in a lively way. I didn't get a chance to try the drinks. For a new kid on the block, their coming out swinging! \n\nOh forgot to mention, fries were very good. Shoestring all the way! Kudos!",
"I wanted to like this place and I did...a little bit. The decor was nice if not a bit clichéd....I think the mason jar ship has sailed at this point hasn't it? The waitstaff was pleasant. I ordered a sage liqueur drink (the garden fizz, I believe) which was supposed to have blueberry compote, lemon, local honey and soda as well. It was served in a teeny tiny glass which made the $9 price tag seem a bit much but the real problem is that it smelled like the homemade bath salts aisle at Whole Foods and tasted like it may have been made there as well....waaaaaay too heavy on the sage and couldn't taste any of the other alleged ingredients. Husband ordered a peach bourbon drink which was apparently just ok and definitely not even sort of peachy. Sooooo...then he ordered the Pigs in a Blanket appetizer. The waiter said it takes a while to make but who would have guessed he meant after it was ordered, the table next to us would order and receive bar drinks, an app and their burgers before the pigs arrived. Come on, if tiny sausages with puff pastry take 25 min to make they shouldn't be on any list entitled \"appetizers\". They were ok but def not worth the wait. The clam chowder broth was absolutely delicious but the clams were tough as hell. We both got the fried buttermilk chicken sandwich which was crispy indeed but decidedly lacking in any seasoning whatsoever...like I don't even think it had salt. And the Tabasco mayo was ok but didn't make up for the unseasoned chicken and I'm not sure at all what the somewhat tough braised kale was doing on that thing. \n\nSo apparently the owner knew the people at the table next to us...I don't know how it goes in East Falls but here in Mt. Airy being loud-mouthed and douchy is likely to rub folks the wrong way. Next time come by and say \"hi\" to your friends but don't sit there during their entire service to blather on about how you came to chose the potato rolls. No one cares that much, especially when you're that loud and self-absorbed. Not to mention after making yourself known to the dining room, it would have been a lot cooler to pop by the other tables and say \"hi thanks for coming...hope you are enjoying yourself\" or anything really. Instead you barked out a few orders to your waitstaff and then disappeared which seemed quite dickish. Perhaps ensuring there was soap in the restroom (which had a sign insisting employees must wash their hands) would have been a better use of your time...that's definitely on my must have list for any dining establishment after all. Finally, two notes about the butterscotch pudding with nilla wafers...you served it in a container that was more suited to storing bath salts or body lotion. That thing was weird for serving anything but especially weird for pudding. Most importantly though, the nilla wafers go on top of the pudding or layered on the bottom NOT MIXED INTO THE PUDDING. Pudding should be silky and smooth above all else. The flavor was ok but the texture was rather sandy. Not a good look. Bottom line: this could work, you're right that your style of restaurant is generally missing from the area but you're definitely going to need to tweak some things before you can be anything more than just ok.",
"I hate to be the first review of the second restaurant from the people behind the East Falls Taproom and not have it be full of delight and superlatives. The ingredients are there, friendly staff, and good location, but there is work to be done. \nThe menu is fine, but pricing seems random, particularly on the drink menu. The food I had was fine. Nice to have a Seitan option in the veggie version of their buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, but the fries were as flavorful as the sandwich. Not bad, but my life will continue not distracted by the experience. \nI will go back. I will try again. And I hope the team here keeps trying too. This could be great. It just isn't yet.",
"Sat at the bar, the bartender was great. I had two vodka and ginger beer drinks that were great, a holy jesus beer and a burger & fries. The burger was great, didn't need any additional condiments, no ketchup etc, the fries were ok.",
"Hip place, tasty modern/creative (but unfussy) food (including some killer sandwiches) and drinks, fresh ingredients (e.g., wonderful applewood smoked bacon!), good prices, great draft list, nice service. Worthy of downtown; ups the ante in this neighborhood! Need to work out a few kinks, but overall a keeper.",
"Ordered for take out, had two things wrong with my order, I asked to not have the kale on the sandwich(I'm not a big fan) -& for an extra side of the mayo, I received neither request. Also the shoestring fries were just limp strips , not very tasty. The chicken sandwich was really juicy though but the bun didn't stand up to it maybe a more dense bread would work better.",
"OK, went for brunch yesterday. Good but needs some improvement: The biscuits are amazing and buttery, but slightly underdone. Sausage in the grits was overcooked so the texture was hard. Hashbrowns looked awesome, but found the insides to be oxidized and undercooked. The over medium eggs were just shy of over hard. \n\nAll that being said: the grits themselves were beautifully creamy and delicious. The burger was as good as during a previous dinner service. Crawfish omelette was rated \"excellent\" by fellow diners. Coffee is also really good!\n\nService is awesome! Hayden and Tim are super cool and attentive!"

"The Garden Bakery is a treat. The upstairs restaurant might look a bit like a cafeteria--the lights are very bright in there--but I don't think this place is trying to go for a romantic ambiance. They served me water is a pink plastic cup--it brought me back to my kindergarten days. Still, the cup was functional and cute, so there's nothing wrong with that. \n\nThe food was really good, and the servings were plentiful. I had the usually Szechuan-type food, like ginger beef, spring rolls, wonton soup--it was all very tasty, and the prices were definitely reasonable. \n\nBut the Garden Bakery experience isn't over once dinner is finished. After dinner, I headed downstairs, where there is an attached bakery. There are so many yummy treats like cakes, cookies, biscuits--they all make the perfect dessert.",
"My friends suggested coming to the Garden Bakery for a bite to eat after some clubbing, and I reluctantly agreed. I'm always a bit hesitant to go out to restaurants extremely late at night, cause you always hear about gang shootings and stuff at, well, restaurants extremely late at night! And I hate to play into stereotypes, but I think this is a valid concern! Anyway, there was nothing to worry about that night.\n\nThey serve a mix of Chinese and Vietnamese food here. I wasn't too hungry so I just ordered the spring rolls. They were alright, a bit too greasy though, even if spring rolls are usually greasy anyway. We were able to find a large table for the eight of us, which is always nice, and service was really quick. The lights were pretty bright there, and the decor is kind of tacky and lacking overall, but somehow it doesn't really seem to matter. I think people are just happy there's places like this where they can have a hot meal at late hours.",
"Garden Bakery is a huge Asian bakery in Chinatown. The large main area features a variety of buns, cookies, cakes, and other treats, many of which are uniquely Asian items like buns stuffed with taro root, or cakes made with various kinds of beans. Customers take a pair of tongs and a tray and pick out what they want, then pay for everything at the front. There is also a restaurant upstairs serving a variety of Chinese foods. \n\nI mostly come here for the bakery, however. I end up leaving with a decent selection of treats for well under ten dollars.",
"I have heard the restaurant has new owners. Food more consistently good and servings are larger at a reasonable price. Very fast service.",
"I've been going to them for years. Mostly in the evenings after work or just to meet up with family and the staff there is always really friendly and very accomodating. \n\nIf you're a regular they even give you a complimentary soup and the food comes out literally 5-8 minutes after you ordered. They're fast, friendly, cheap and very very good~ I highly reccommend it. \n\nAlthough at night it can be sometimes skeptical because of the location but even checking it out during the day they also have a lower section with selections of baked goods that's cheap for lunch as well!",
"Cheap, late night eats with very very efficient service. In the 7 years I lived in Edmonton, I eat here at least once a week. And now when the hubs & I visit, we always stop by Garden Bakery.\n\nThey have good beef chow fun, fish maw soup (very good), black bean spare ribs, salted fish chicken fried rice!!!\n\nThe bakery makes good fruit cocktail cakes and chinese baked goods. Their mini fruit tarts are great for potlucks n parties!",
"The night time crew is amazing!! We go there all the time now, and the servers are so friendly!! I love it here. The service is fast, the food is delicious, and the price is cheap! It really can't get any better than this. Oh wait, it can! They close really late! Went there at 2am one time and they are still open for business. \n\nThis review is strictly for the dining experience after 5pm. The morning crew surprisingly are not very nice compared to the night time crew. But if you work downtown and need a quick bite, I would still recommend Garden Bakery as top pick! \n\nYou guys are awesome!!! Keep it up!",
"One Word, DIARRHEA !!!!!\ncame here late at night and its your typically cantonese cafe food with like chow mein, fried rice and noodle soup....ordered the baked seafood rice, fried tofu and shimp roll (which is absolutely terrible). Typically lousy service from a chinese restaurant. The only good i can say is the hk coffee\n\nNever coming back here again!!!",
"Ah, Garden Bakery. You're my go-to if I want Asian-style baked goods, like taro or coconut buns, and you have the best little custard fruit tarts! I wish I go there when things are more freshly baked, because there's nothing like sesame seed balls filled with red bean when they're hot and fresh, and perfectly gooey. Still, you fill the hole in my heart when I want cheap and tasty baked goods. No frou frou fanciness here, just taste.\n\nI normally don't sit at the restaurant, as Double Greetings is my greasy Chinese go-to place, but once in a while, I've eaten here and haven't been disappointed. You're also one of the few places that sells deep fried pig intestines -- gross for some, yum for me! My widening belly can attest to that!\n\nIt's too bad you're in a slightly sketchy part of town. It's not your fault that a homeless shelter is half a block away. I just hope that the upcoming gentrification due to condo developers, Epcor tower, and possible arena won't push you out due to rent, and rather elevate your business so that people don't judge you for your slightly shady outside, so they can have a chance at your egg tarts and more.",
"I LOVE GARDEN BAKERY!!\n\nI have been in Edmonton for almost 10 years, when i first moved here i heard this place thro a friend, ever since then i am in LOVE with the food.....\nHonestly, the food qulity is good, and the portion is very good, and the price is amazingly cheap! their beef flank stew is the BEST! hmmmmmm im going there again tonite...."

"Everyone knows this place. No one knows its actual name, which is probably why I'm writing the first review for it. I guess everyone just calls it that \"Vietnamese hoagie deli on Christian.\"\n\nThe sandwiches here are absolutely delicious, and on one hand, I hope that lots of people go here so that the friendly owners can get rich, franchise out their place, and buy a nice set of rims.\n\nBut at the same time, I hope they don't charge more than the $2.60 they currently charge, and I hope it never gets so popular that I have to wait in line to get my food.\n\nCan't have it both ways I guess.",
"If you want a hoagie that is not laden with enough cholesteral to choke an ox, a Vietnamese hoagie from Cafe Huong Lan is worth a shot. Good for veg-heads and carnivores alike, there are many different options, some of which Americans may find a little intimidating. My usual was the vegetarian hoagie because it was so damn yummy. With seasoned tofu, fresh cilantro, some sort of buttery mayo and jalapeno peppers on a very fresh French baguette, it is so deliciously light and perfect. If you really want to reduce the fat, get it without the buttery stuff. It's still good. I'm also a big fan of their tapioca-like plantain pudding dealie. I know that's not the proper terminology but that's pretty much what it is. It's delicious.",
"Their vegetarian hoagies have been a staple of my diet for several years now. I've never had a better one from any other place. Everyone who I have introduced to the cafe is hooked.",
"I was in the cafe today, and the customer ahead of us said something along the lines of: \"The owners went home to Vietnam for a month a while ago. I wanted to kill myself-- their chicken banh mi is my favorite and when I went to another place it just tasted like cat food.\" It's wonderful that a place like this could inspire such devotion.\n\nThe sandwich itself, of course, has all those ingredient contrasts one could want-- crunchy hot roll, cool soft meat/tofu, crunchy-soothing vegetables and spicy peppers. The yellow pepper in our sandwiches today was a bit of a curveball from my normal banh mi experience, but a welcome one. And the owners do it all in about 120 square feet of space, a marvel of engineering I don't think even the hyper-engineered chains can touch.\n\nAlso, a 1/2$ symbol is probably needed to account for the shop's $3 hoagies. I'm not sure if I've encountered cheaper prepared food that has fresh vegetables as a major ingredient.",
"I kind of held off on this place because I used to live 3 blocks away from Fu Wah in West Philly and figured that was the apex of tofu hoagie-dom. Fu Wah is its own amazing thing, but these tofu banh mi are much more similar to conventional Vietnamese sandwiches, which is to say GOOD. On beautiful, slim, crusty baguette, with tons of fresh veggies (cuke, scallion, lettuce, cilantro, jalapeno) and thin slices of spiced tofu rather than the steak-like deal on the other side of the river.\n\nNot better or worse than Fu Wah-- just a different animal (same price though --$3.50). And hey, there is definitely room for more than one tofu banh mi in this town.",
"Dropped in on a hot summer day for a cool, crisp sandwich...and was not disappointed. Like a Spring Roll Sandwich.\n\nLittle lady running the place was efficient and the prices were very cheap...$3 - $3.50 per sandwich\n\nI had the Pulled Pork...served on traditional Bahn Mi french loaf with fillings...noodles, veg of carrots, cilantro, cuke...the pork had a slight sweetness to it, with a dab of fish-sauce. My wife had the \"Special, which was similar to my pork, but with sliced meat with more of a mayo-like condiment on it and had a little heat from peppers on it.\n\nWhile we were waiting a lady popped in to pick up her order...two \"Specials\" and a vegetarian, so it sounds like you've got an idea of what's popular.",
"The name is Nhu Y (roughly \"as you like it\") not Nhuy.\n\nA tiny banh mi shop, we ordered the combo and the vegetarian (which others on here have raved about). The deli counter was a bit bare looking (not a good sign) and they took a long time to make 2 sandwiches (not a good sign, generally the faster they whip them out, the better it is - high volume and lots of practice).\n\nAnyway, the sandwiches were fine. They had a good moistness level. The vegetarian was surprisingly good for not having meat (I'm a former-vegan turned carnivore). However, we found both sandwiches to be too salty, and I'm a big fan of having more pickled veggies, cilantro, and chili in my banh mi than was the case.\n\nNot saying too much, but the best banh mi I've had so far in Philly.",
"Based solely on the food, I really like this place. I always get the two vegetarian options and I love it. You can ask for extra filling for a small extra charge if you like your sandwiches to be heartier. I like it just the way it is. I actually like this a little more than I like the other famous tofu hoagie here in Philadelphia at Fu-Wah. Although I do really like both. The sandwiches are different than the ones over at Fu-Wah. Where as Fu-Wah has big, chunky pieces of tofu, this place has thinner, chewier pieces of them with cucumbers, pickled carrots, cilantro, jalapeno. SO good. IWhile we live right across the street from Fu-Wah, we're in the neighborhood of this a lot as our dogs' vet is nearish to here as are their food shops and my work place in Olde City, and we always make sure to stop by.\n\nThe other day I also tried their new sandwich, the sardine in tomato sandwich. Not bad at all.",
"I just want to give their sammy's a hug.\nThey're great for \"on-the-go\" and they're insanely cheap (get diggin' in your couches folks!",
"Nothing hits the spot like a perfectly toasted, personally made vietnamese hoagie. The owner always has a huge smile and I have never left disappointed. The only downside is their yearly vacation, back to the homeland I would assume!! It leaves me craving their hoagies for months until their return. Perfect for a spring picnic in the park."

"WOW! Brand New Mexican restaurant on Magazine Street and it is GREAT. Our first indication that it was good was the chips and salsa. You could tell the salsa was homemade and had a great flavor. \n\nThe food was the best Mexican I have had in NOLA and you could tell it was fresh. This is not you run of the mill bland Tex-mex. This food has flavor and is not overly spicy, the flavored are balanced. The Chicken Diablo was chicken topped with spinach and 2 types of cheese and had broccoli and rice as a side.The bbq shrimp tacos had great flavor, as did the charro beans and guacamole. \n\nWe will be returning here. This is the kind of food you crave.",
"The food at rosa mezcal was a step above mediocre. I got the pastor tacos and chicken tortilla soup. Both were great in flavor but portion size left something to be desired. \n\nMy friend got the el macho burrito. The ground beef was something different and very tasty, but the fixings can on the side of the burrito, which was weird and messy. \n\nThe service was fine. We were two of three customers in the restaurant and they were extremely attentive/clearly bored out of their minds. \n\nOne last thing - they don't have their liquor license yet but they're allowing byob. It was fine since there are plenty of places around to grab a beer or margarita and come back. \n\nBottom line: I think this place has work to do but definitely has potential. I would definitely give it another try in a month or so.",
"Good atmosphere, quality food and service! With so many options in the city you better bring some game to the table and that's what we got on our visit. Solid addition to the LGD!",
"Really good and fun Mexican place. The tastes are authentico and yum! Good value and friendly people. Looking forward to coming back to sample some mezcals. It's byob right now.",
"Eek... Having a hard time because they're new and the guys seemed nice. Our waitress was really intense.\n\nWe asked for water. She brought out plastic dasani water bottles, which they bring to every table and charge you for without telling you.\nShe said she'd bring us tapwater, but her boss would be mad if he saw her.\nIf you wanna be fancy and only serve bottled water- then tell your customers and don't serve crappy water. Strike.\n\nCorn taco shells are dyed blue. This is not cool at all. I don't want dye in my paper or my hair or my drinks let alone my taco shells. This is not blue corn. It's bright blue dye. No bueno.\n\nCarne asada was dry. Carnitas was dry. Beans were refried only. Rice was flavorless. Food was overpriced. \n\nThe menu was hard to understand and our waitress was totally misleading and joked about it. \n\nWhen you are a new restaurant in New Orleans you gotta hit the ground running. Juan's is right down the street and tastes more authentic than this, and that is creole mex. \n\nI'm worried about this place. Will try one more time because they seemed so nice but it was pretty bad.",
"Overall terrible experience. Forced $3 Dasani is a joke, as are the dyed tortillas. Service was really awkward. Pastor and Asada were both extremely dry and bland.",
"My girlfriend and I came here from Austin Tx. Let me start by saying Texas is hard to compete with when it comes to Mexican Food. However, Rosa Mezcal on Magazine St in New Orleans was by far up there with the best in Texas. \n\nAs soon as I walked in, I was put in a good mood by the fun and festive atmosphere inside. The people were friendly and the food was fantastic. Nothing that I had was bad, and if I were to recommend anything, it would be the white queso dip. \n\nWe will definitely be making a return visit next time we are in town.",
"Love this place. We have eaten there twice and had great food and service both times. I can't wait for them to get their liquor license for some tasty beverages.",
"This was a good experience overall. The positives were the service and tastes. We got take out of two different taco platters. Both were good with fresh shrimp. That's a big positive. The negative is the \"blue corn tortilla\", which while it tastes fine as a typical factory made corn tortilla, isnt a tortilla made from blue corn. Ive never seen anything like it and I almost didn't eat it. It's just a regular factory made tortilla that has been dyed a neon weird tealish bright little kid food color tye dyed blue. It's a very big negative as the color is so distracting and unappealing that i could only eat these in the dark. Ewww. Its that unpleasant. The other complaint is that its a little pricey for what you get, but that's not a big deal. The water issue is a problem. The staff us obviously instructed to make up for a lack of a liquor licence. That was not so great.",
"BETTER THAN ARAÑA, WORSE THAN IZZO'S\nAs any local will tell you, Mexican food here has come a long way. Back in the 80s we compromised for mundane ingredients, over-cooked meat, and a total lack of heat at Cuco's on S. Carrolton. Rosa Mezcal is a Cuco's redux.\n\nHOW IS THIS NEWBIE EVER GOING TO COMPETE?\n(Look at my pics). The sad unadorned tacos are up against Rum House, Taceaux Loceaux, Sarita's and Felipe's. The complicated and somewhat pricey menu has to vie with Juan's Flying Burrito and Casa Borrega just blocks away. The $13 dismal substandard sampler platter is half the size of the excellent $17 version at Superior Grill. And none can compete with Taqueria Guerrero for authenticity at an affordable price.\n\nBUT FOR $4 YOU CAN'T BEAT THEIR CHIPS & QUESO!\nThe fry at Rosa Mezcal is its strong suit. To me their chips and queso are among the best in the city (way better than Johnny Sanchez). I'd love it if they specialized in fried puffed tacos. That would be a unique addition to this crowded niche."

"These bagels are worth the trip. No matter where I roam, there are no bagels like home! This is a family-operated company that consistently produces a quality and authentic bagel. Our favorites are the sesame, the pumpernickel and the cinnamon raisin. It is my fondest dream that someday they will make a pumpernickel raisin bagel!",
"The 2nd closest to New York Style Bagels I've found in the area;-) Nice and chewy! The coffee is good too, but I couldn't find the cream???\n\nNOTES: If you plan to use a credit card you must order at least $10.00. And there's no place to sit & eat, so it's Take-out only.",
"The bagel's here are great. I usually get a half dozen and some type of spread. My only complaint here is breakfast sandwiches. The meat and eggs are nuked. So typically if I want a breakfast sandwich I'll buy their bagels and make mine at home. For real though - that is my only criticism of the place!\n\nEvery time I go in there is some type of new flavor that I haven't seen before - while they are not all my cup of tea it is obvious that this is a labor of love. My kids love their french toast bagels, I like the everything and half / half bagels. The spreads they have available are great too - the cheddar and bacon spread is my favorite (I haven't seen it for a few weeks though!). The staff is pleasant, the prices are good and it is a family owned local business - for that alone it is worth at least a try in my book!",
"I found this small bagel shop when a local coupon book featured a 16-for-12 deal, and I think it's one of the best in the area. I loved the wide variety of flavors; next time, I'll go earlier in the morning so there will be more than two jalapeno bagels left. Those were my favorites.\n\nI can't say anything about the non-bagel items, even the spreads, since I haven't tried them. (I am vegan, and there is nothing of note for us other than the bagels, themselves.) The shop is really small and nondescript, but for a place to stop and get a bag of bagels, this is completely acceptable.",
"Just happened to pass by here this morning, and decided I needed a new bagel place in my life. I have a rather unhealthy obsession with bagels. I just don't need more carbs in my life in general. But I can't quit bagels. \n\nI also happen to enjoy bagel breakfast sandwiches. But after having one here today, I have decided I won't get one here again. Quite simply, the eggs and bacon they serve on the sandwiches just won't cut it. That's the part I was disappointed in. \n\nBut they still get the 4 stars, and that's because the bagel itself was fantastic. It was a good and chewy fresh one, that's for sure. Definitely better than what the local bagel chains are putting out. \n\nSince they specialize in bagels and not eggs, they get the benefit of the doubt. Next time, it's a bagel with cream cheese for me if I'm in the area.",
"Despite growing up right around the corner from this place and working across the street from here for a few years, I had never been until last weekend. Boy am I glad I stopped in! They had a large selection of really delicious bagels with an assortment of cream cheeses to choose from (I think the cream cheeses are made in house, though don't quote me on that). I got an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. Amazing! They also have some baked goods and \"old-timey\" candy, as they advertise in the window. \n\nIt's a cute family run business so you have your token \"first-job\" employees. So adorable.",
"This place still makes one of the better bagels in the area, but they have two big flaws in my eyes. \n\nOne, the breakfast sandwiches are sub par. The bagel itself makes them ok. But they microwave the ingredients, which wouldn't be so bad if they didn't skimp on them as well. Other smaller bagel places manage to fit a grill in their layout (Brookside) to make fresher sandwiches. Other bagel places load their sandwiches up with egg and bacon (Brookside and Custom). This place comes in far behind the competition in that category. \n\nTwo, the policy of adding a dollar to every credit card transaction regardless of amount is not a good way to do business. I understand credit card fees for small businesses are tough. I would understand being cash only. I would understand imposing a minimum transaction for credit. These are acceptable to me. \n\nBut being told it costs me an extra dollar to use my card when I'm spending over $20 in your store, unacceptable. \n\nThey still make a great bagel. But so do other places in the county.",
"Best bagels in the area, in fact, the only REAL BAGELS that I know of in the Philly area! I'm a NY Jew, so I have very high standards when it comes to bagels. 'Nuff said!",
"This is my favorite bagel joint in the area. as an NY native i ve struggled to find good a bagels in the area. Manhatten bagel, NY bagel factory have nothing on them With a variety of bagels, a variety of different flavored shmeers Green Mountain coffee, and the best dang rugelach in Delaware County i feel like I'm upstate NY! Love this place!",
"The best bagels and veggie cream cheese in Delco. Always fresh and fast, weird service charge for using credit cards so bring cash if you want to avoid the credit card fee."

"this place is now called \"tutti toscani\". no idea why they changed the name at some point - everything is just as good as it has always been, if not better!\nthis place is a standby favorite for my family. it is ALWAYS good. you can count on consistency, quality, and service. we made it our go-to spot when we moved to cherry hill in 1992, and we'll keep on going there.\nyou can usually get a reservation, even for a big group. they will never turn you away or make you wait too long - it's a family spot and all group sizes are embraced.\ntry their marsala, aribiata, and puntanasca. their tomato bread is OUTSTANDING. they do seafood extremely well. their specials are outstanding.\nbring gum or mints... you will consume about 5 cloves of garlic with any dinner. but i wouldn't have it any other way.",
"From what I can tell this is the original Lamberti's from 23 years ago. \n\nIt's a glorified pizza place that does food nicely, Nothing crazy exotic or above average, but satisfying food at fair prices in a nice atmosphere. \n\nThey had a large outdoor area complete with a fig tree and tomato plants growing along the borders. \n\nService was adequate and prompt. \n\nI would like to do this again with a bottle of wine on a nice summer evening and soak in the outdoors in their garden-like setting, Don't get to excited....it's nice, but not knock your socks off nice. \n\nWe had a just finished a family funeral and no one had made any lunch plans and we were able to get seating for 35 within 15 minutes and this was about the 3rd call made to see who could accommodate. \nThe manager quickly took control made some suggestions on how to handle the ordering and everything went very smoothly. \n\nMy rating is heavy on service, again food was average although those steak fries passing by me for others and the fresh made antipasto's in the case looked very, very good!",
"I used to live in S. Jersey and ate at Lamberti's once a week. The friendly staff are all authentically Italian and know what they're doing when it comes to food and service. Their bruchetta is to die for (I cannot find anything like this in Denver). I always loved their Pasta Gioconda (sp?), but my more adventurous dining partners always raved about their meals as well. I just don't mess with success. If you actually still have room, grab a homemade cannoli.",

"We came for a group meal at 2 pm. Restaurant was relatively empty but it took quite a while to even begin drink orders. It was a pre-set menu( we had a larger party) and it took over 15 mins to get my boyfriend's pasta meal out. Water glasses were often empty and the puttanesca was subpar. Noodles overcooked, sauce was tasteless, and completely devoid of capers. Overall, very disappointed",
"My family and I have been going there for a few years now and in the beginning we looked forward to each visit. But for the past 6 months or so we have noticed the service and food has been going downhill. With the exception of the pregnant waitress who is very friendly and good, the rest of the servers do not seem to care about the customers and have a bit of an attitude problem. We brought my daughter in for her birthday and even though it was slow last night we got no attention from her at all. I was unhappy with my entree but was unable to send it back because she never came back to check on us. All in all, I do not think that I will be returning there. Advice, if you go make sure you are not in a rush, you be there for awhile.",
"I am genuinely shocked this place only averages three stars.\nHere's the deal:\nIt's a BYOB, so you are completely eliminate your alcohol bill.\nThe appetizers: the Antipasto is a MUST. Every, single, time. The grilled, marinated artichokes and eggplant, the BRUSCHETTA is addictive...it is phenomenal. The mussels are fantastic. \nIf you want a salad, the arugula salad is a personal favorite - a light lemon vinegarette is addictive. But, if you order the chicken with it for an entree, the portion is huge...the shrimp, the one time I did I actually got three shrimp, so don't expect to be full if you get the shrimp. My husband loves the caeser with homemade croutons. The tomato, fresh mozzarella salad is beautiful and sizable. The bread is always delicious and the olive oil is always cold pressed and delicious. The tomato bread is also addictive. \nThe pasta entrees: the Za Za is a personal favorite, my husband's spaghetti and meatballs were delicious - I hate sweet tomato sauce and this was salty and tangy. The pesto is very good but BE WARNED - they make it with cream, but if you ask, they will leave it out. Sensitive tummys have to be aware of that. The sausage, broc rabe, and chicken is very tasty as well. All of the portions are huge, so just accept the leftovers.\nThe protein dishes as well as very sizable and the specials are VERY fairly priced and sound decadent, so don't be scared to order then for fear of $$. The pizzas are good - on a weeknight, it's very common for us to go grab an antipasto, a pizza, bottle of wine and call it a meal. \nThe desserts: I don't even like dessert, and I will order something on a special occasion. \nThe service is fantastic - I literally had one bad server like five years ago, and the manager remedied it IMMEDIATELY. Saturdays can be very busy, so bring TWO bottles of wine (one for the wait, one for the meal :)).\nGo, enjoy, don't break the bank. In the summertime, the outside dining is lovely. For a place to have me call things \"addictive\" and \"personal favorite\" this many times, you know I'm telling the truth!",
"I was surprised at how tasteless the food was. I expect better from a place that falls under Lamberti's. Honestly, I could make much better food in my kitchen. My lasagna was completely overcooked and mushy. I gave 3 stars only because I don't like to give less based on only one visit; however, I was so turned off that I will not be returning.",
"I love everything about Tutti Toscani. The food is better than any other Italian place in the area. Pizza is great, though it's a small selection. The appetizers are good, and like Meghan C. said, you can't go wrong with the antipasto. All the veggies are fresh, and prepared perfectly. The meats and cheeses are great, as well.\n\nAs for entrees, I've had probably ten or fifteen different dishes, and they're all great. They usually have some really good specials, as well. They do a LOT of seafood, and many of their seafood dishes have lump crab meat on them, and believe me, it's a TON of crab meat. Prices are really good...I think the most expensive dish I've had here was like $25, and that was a special on New Year's Eve.\n\nIt's BYO, which is great, and Anna really takes care of people. She's a madwoman, all over the place, but when there's a wait, she's always coming out to the waiting area to talk to people and see how they're doing. Also, the outside seating area is awesome during the spring and summer. It's comfortable, there's a nice pergola over your head, and their garden is right there. It's a great, casual place where you can go and get an honest meal for a good price. We've gone there in shorts and t-shirts for lunch, or dressed up nicely for dinner on special occasions.",
"Came here yesterday for lunch with a friend.\nSat outside under the canopied roof, on the quiet patio. Nice location, in a quiet strip mall, with ample seating inside and outside.\n\nWaitress was very nice, took our orders quickly.\n\nI had the chicken cultlet panini (really good) with a side Ceasar salad. The sharp provolone on top was a good touch.\n\nHe had the burger, panini-style. It looked really good, and before I knew it, he was done. Must have been decent, right? :)\n\nI would definitely come back here when I'm back in the area."

"Okay people - get yourselves over to this joint! It's a lunch place - 11 am to 3 pm, and then they have some 'to-go' pre-packaged dinner meals you can take home with you. We tried the 'Tartines' - goat cheese, fig jam, carmelized onion-y goodness on a crostini. Yummers! Also the 'Organic Quinoa Bowl' with chicken, Roasted Tomatoes, Caramelized Onions, Kale & Chipotle Aioli. That also, was crazy good. And oddly enough, good together. Can't wait to try more items! So neat to have another healthy and delish option in our little town. :)",
"The owners are so lovable & just geniuses with healthy affordable gourmet foods.Tons of Gluten free!!!! I'm sad that their desserts are not gluten-free & that the desserts & most of the beverages contain refined white sugar. My take-out box meal is literally heavy; enough food for 2 meals. The creative combination of flavors is indescribable in what might normally be described as \"a mountain of quinoa\" \"a pile of tomatoes & onions\". Eases my sadness that Cajun Kitchen just closed. It's Near my house, I'm in heaven. They are careful with cross-contamination\nVegan options, too",
"The food Liaison is the perfect addition to an already great town! I love to grab a few items for lunch or even plan ahead and grab some soup and a few salads for dinner. It's open from 11-3 only but call ahead and they'll hook you up with what you want! The Orzo salad is so delicious and the Prosciutto/Fig Tartine is outstanding. The soups are incredible as well. All the selections I've had are very flavorful and have been thoughtfully created to compliment one another. Get yourself there and check it!!",
"Support awesome, local businesses!!\nFresh, fun, flavorful and friendly...the food is as good as the service!!\nThe orzo salad is ridiculously good!",
"I've been working in Carp for 7 years and have been waiting for a place like this to open for a lunch option. So happy to see a place like this open, and so far I've tried the salad bar, quinoa bowl and the lettuce cups and all have been amazing!! Their salad bar is great and full of fun options. Their menu is different and flavorful and best of all it's healthy... and the service is outstanding!!",
"Excellent healthy fare.\nEnjoyed the fig tartine here a few weeks back and was thoroughly impressed! \nNext time, I will try the salad bar, because it too, looked delectable!",
"Really good, fresh, and healthy food, and they make good use of social media to promote daily specials. They do quick check out and you have your food literally faster than you could at fast food. When I'm craving a really healthy lunch, I go there. Their little bite desserts have never disappointed either.",
"Great lunch spot! Love the salad bar! It's loaded with fresh veggies, an assortment of proteins, roasted tomatoes and roasted cauliflower! Friendly staff and he food never disappoints.",
"We found this spot on our way up to Santa Barbara from Ojai and couldn't agree more with the 5 star rating! Local organic food that is skillfully prepared and generous portions for the price! Two foodie thumbs way up! One note: use google maps, NOT apple maps to get here... apple will take you to the wrong place.",
"From the moment I walked into this place it was simply amazing! The staff is very friendly, professional and service oriented. Nirasha (head chef) and her husband Jason are genuinely adorable, down to earth people who have created a very welcoming atmosphere, with which to deliver the most delicious food I've tasted in the surrounding Carpinteria area. You must try the Quinoa salad (I prefer with grilled chicken, but there is a vegan option as well). One bite is all it takes to know that you'll be returning over and over again to sample the rest of this incredibly fresh, healthy and delicious menu."

"I had the basic cheese pizza with no extra topping. The crust was thick and doughy, not thin and crisp as I would ideally want it. There was a lot (maybe too much) sauce and cheese on it. The sauce was on the garlicy side, which some people might not like, but we did.\n\nNext time, I'll be more adventurous and choose one of the gazzilion toppings they offer.",
"According to the marketing materials for Gourmet Pizza, the restaurant was voted one of the \"Top 10 must-eat-at pizzerias in the country.\" In light of this bit of extraordinary press, I had very high expectations for this restaurant. Top 10 pizzeria in the country? The pizzas ought to be mind-blowing, right?\n\nBased on the glowing recommendation of the staff, I ordered the cacciatore pizza. Three people in our party tried it, and thought it was awful. Someone ordered the calzone, which I also tried. It was mediocre (we thought it was better than the cacciatore pizza, but that's a low bar for comparison).\n\nThought it was going to be great, totally disappointed.",
"I don't know why I end up dating girls who can't eat wheat. I love hearty Italian loaves, pizza, and toothsome pasta, but I find myself seeking the oat, sorghum, and rice alternatives so I can enjoy meals with my sweetheart. This limitation has been most frustrating in my quest for decent pizza because gluten's resilient proteins are essential for a firm, supple pizza crust. \n\n'Gourmet' as an adjective doesn't mean too much any more, though I suppose they could fit in under the sister term 'artisanal.' It's not stellar pizza, but for Gluten Free options in the bay area, they practically hold a monopoly. It's not as good (it'll never be as good), but it's an acceptable compromise.\n\nWe had a mushroom gorgonzola pie and a hawaiian pie. Both were worthwhile attempts at their established genres, though neither was revolutionary or exemplary of the craft. Of course, if I hadn't been eating pizza regularly for the past few years (like the celiacs I went to dinner with), my opinion would probably have been much higher (theirs was).\n\nFinal Verdict: It's not the best, but if you can't eat wheat then it's better than nothing.",
"I hate to write a bad review on an independent restaurant, but I gave the restaurant a second chance after one bad experience, and I was disappointed again. I, like another couple of reviewers below, wanted to try this pizzeria with its rave reviews as one of the top pizza restaurants in the country, and both times I wished I had decided to eat anywhere else. The service was rude the first time, but I wouldn't mind that so much if the pizza was good, but it was mediocre and generic at best. \nMy next order was today, which is almost two months later. I placed a delivery order for a spring salad and a small hawaiian and a thai \"salz-sa\", which is supposed to be a flatbread with a thai salad on top. We received the spring salad, which was fine, and the small hawaiian, which was soggy, the cheese was bland and cold, and we found a total of four teeny tiny little pieces of ham (their \"smoked bacon\") on the entire pizza. We also received a cheese bread (more soggy, semi-thin crust, but definitely not \"flat bread\" with bland, lukewarm cheese) served with marinara sauce and no thai salad. I called the restaurant immediately, hoping that they would replace the cheese bread with my thai salz-sa (assuming that someone else had ordered cheese bread and hadn't yet received my order by mistake), and the person who answered the phone was extremely confrontational, insisting that I didn't understand that the cheesy bread was, in fact, flat bread (with marinara sauce for a thai salad, really?). I let that go, but still inquired about my order. Finally, they agreed to send a thai salad over (the cheesy bread now disgustingly soggy and cold). My husband answered the door and inquired if I had ordered a sun chip salad. I looked in the box, and saw that the entire salad was covered completely with sun chips. The delivery person explained that this was the \"crunchy wonton strips.\" No, no, they're sun chips. He seemed quite relieved when we agreed to accept the salad so that he could leave.\nA salad covered in sun chips to go with cheesy bread and marinara sauce. Not really my idea of a gourmet thai flat bread pizza. \nWords have meaning.",
"A little packed a lunch good variety of pizza options. If you have a vegan/veg friend this would be a good choice also have gluten free stuff. Me being a meat eater without sprue I'll still go back. But I've had better pizza in tampa before. The server/cashier was pleasant and the two person crew managed to handle a flood of macdill folks arriving at the same time.",
"Coming from Chicago, I just wasn't in the mood to try their pizza. However, I bought a Groupon as I realized it was close to the hotel I'd be staying at.....and I'm content with the food. If I was staying longer, I'd be back. If I come to Tampa again, I'd consider eating here, but I'm not crazy about everything I got.\n\n\nCame here the other day, however since there are no hours posted we found out after we walked in that they were closed. Grabbed a menu for future reference. I decided on a calzone, because nothing else stood out and I could throw in what I wanted. I'm stuffed from the Maya salad and some breadsticks....but taking a few bites the ricotta is just too much for me. I'm not crazy about ricotta to begin with, but I'm trying to expand my horizons and seeing as how I used to work in a cheese department, I figured I might as well just leave it be. The banana peppers don't work well with the chicken breast (oddly) and I think it's because of the ricotta. Either way, it's not horrible, I'll just probably enjoy it more once it's cold. \n\nThe maya salad was really good. I'm not one for beans, but everything blended really well. Now, I hate dressings but this was a mango vinaigrette and I ended up pouring all of it over the salad...which was a half order. Yeah, I'm glad I went with the guy's suggestion.\n\nThe breadsticks...delicious. 'Nuff said.\n\nDidn't care for the attitude of the person the first night, but the guy in there tonight was REALLY nice, so I'll attribute the first guy's attitude to it being past close and him wanting to be out of there.",
"While the ingredients tasted fresh, the pizza as a whole (veggie + italian sausage) was extremely bland. The flavors didn't meld or melt together. The pizza tasted like the 6 individual toppings. Not to mention that one of the worst things about bad thin-crust pizza occurred: the layer of toppings just slid of the slice. Unfortunate pizza and bad experience. This review is for the non-gluten free pizza. We didn't try that. After this experience, we won't. Another Tampa pizzeria bites the dust in our book!",
"Visited a friend in Tampa who suggested we stop by the Gourmet Pizza Company near Hyde Park. I really appreciate restaurants who are veggie/vegan friendly (they offer gluten-free options too).\n\nI ordered the Portobello Gorgonzola & Mediterranean pizzas and I ate the hell out of them. If I had to recommend one, I thoroughly enjoyed the Portobello Gorg pizza with it's caramelized onions and soft, warm mushrooms... it hit the spot!\n\nThe atmosphere was pretty laid back. The interior is quite a contrast from the exterior...not something I expected. Kind of industrial and loft-like inside of an unassuming building. Service was good too. Will stop by again whenever I'm in town.",
"Good, convenient, but not great.\n\nBeen a few times- always left wanting more/better/different. I like the crispy crust, but am not a big fan of the residue it leaves on your hands. Tried it again after purchasing a groupon-- got the pizza breadsticks which were good, but the accompanying sauce wasn't hot. The margarita pizza was good, and the fresh mozzarella pizza was delicious, but it wasn't hot/melted enough. My boyfriend had the BBQ pizza and thought it was \"pretty good.\"\n\nOnce again, left wanting more/different/better. Maybe if things were hotter, we'd be more likely to go.... especially since I practically live next door. Close, but, as they say, no cigar.",
"I'm new to the area, and live within walking distance, so I thought I would give it a shot. This may be a fantastic place for those with gluten dietary restrictions, however, for others, beware: pizza is bland, and while the breadsticks were pretty good, the sauce was cold; and a collateral side order. Overall, I would not return unless i needed pizza to continue living, and every other pizza shop in Tampa was closed."

"My friend from Philly says that's their philly's are comparable to those that are up north. Their gyros are the best in town... It's fantastic!",
"First off! The Address here on Yelp is incorrect. This place is now located at 4038 Andy Pella Drive in Spring hill. Right across the street from the Spring Hill Main post office off Deltona Blvd.\n\nThis places has very good Philly Cheese steaks. Probably the best in the area. I reviewed another places with a similar name thats located on U.S. 19 in Hudson. This places is far better than that one.\n\nGreat bread, Great tasting steak,, Came out Piping hot with fresh cut fries.\n\nPrices are good and their are many different options and combo's to chose from.\nLike the fact that you can order a small combo, which is just the right size for most, and at a great price.\n\nBooth seating and a small counter area to eat at. Always a Movie playing on the big Screen T.V. They also offer Delivery.\n\nThe staff is great and you can see that they take pride in the product.\n\nGreat little place when your hankering for a cheese steak Sandwich.\n\nTry it, it's about 2 miles off 19 and Forest Oaks in Spring hill.",
"This is a great place to get a cheese steak! I had the Florida, & fries. YUM! I'll be back to try some of the other versions too. Nice variety to choose from. \n\nA helpful tip..... not be to be in a hurry, it took about 20 mins. on a slow day, & also if the ingredients listed don't state cheese, & you want cheese, you need to let them know. I made this mistake, and was kinda bummed at first, but honestly, the flavor was good, I really didn't miss it. \n\nThanks Anthony A. for this great suggestion! & also for the correction on the address :o)",
"Best cheese steak in spring hill. Not much else to say about this place. Cozy, friendly, affordable, delicious.",
"No need to go to Philadelphia. The best cheesesteaks are here in Spring Hill! Try the Florida",
"Came here to day for the 1st time after several recommendations and I have to say that I was impressed. It doesn't look much from the street in a small strip mall. It actually doesn't look much from the inside either with a small window to order through.\n\nOnce you get the food though you can see what the fuss is about. I had the Floridian with peppers, mushroom and onion with a side of fries. Fries are clearly homemade and of a very good standard. The thickest cut ones were just a shade off being done but very good.\n\nThe Philly steak, I don't have much by way of reference as a Brit bar a few poor samplings at Hooters and other places but if this is what it tastes like normally then come back, all is forgiven. Very tasty, great flavor, great portion size, moist, filling. Fantastic.\n\nWill be going to sample a few more varieties in the near future. \n\nLoses a star for the TV being a little on the loud side and showing Planet of the Apes attack scenes, not good for the appetite.",
"Stopped in there today thanks to fellow yelpers and was happy with everything. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations on the menu. He also explained that they could change our order how ever we would like. \n\nThe place is outfitted with various sports memorabilia and looks authentic. Had a HDTV playing Fast Five which was a nice distraction while waiting for the food. \n\nSpeaking of the food, the reviews were right it is one of the better philly's you can get. It was made to order and I was happy to finish the whole sandwich. I thought the meat was a little low quality but I'm no expert so I could be off a bit. The fries were excellent as an added bonus. I wonder if they would do some chili fries for me next time? That would be awesome. \n\nIf you in town visiting weeki wachee springs like I was it would be worth your time to drive the couple miles if you looking for a good philly. \n\nPhilly done right!",
"This place is the bomb-diggity. Great staff, awesome food. If you're into cheesesteaks, get the Florida. It's the way you're used to a cheesesteak being prepared. You won't get as much meat as some of the other joints, but the quality if much better. Don't get me wrong: the large size was PLENTY filling for a 230 pound guy who came in hungry.\n\nOrder came up quickly and you could tell how fresh everything was.\n\nBig screen TV on the wall showing movies and sports, time-depending.\n\nPhilly's Best is a little off the beaten path (read: hard to notice), but it's worth finding. You'll be back, without a doubt.",
"This place hit it outta the park!!! the second the meat, cheese hits your mouth...TOUNGUE-GASM!!! I went back for the Bacon, need i say more. The combo they advertise is more than adequate to satisfy anyone, but you might want to get a second sandwich cause it's just that good.\n\nThey just got a new regular!!",
"Ok, I've had many Philly cheesesteaks in the Delaware Valley. Eaten the good, bad & ugly while there. This place keeps up with the good. A decent variety of sandwiches. My fav has been the mushroom cheesesteak. HUGE portion of french fries. A little undercooked and salty for me, but continue to order them each time with sandwich. Fountain drink machine needs more cleaning maintenance. Love the sports memorabilia on all wall space. They are for sale too! Great blue collar eating establishment. I mean that as a complement. Will go again."

"The newest business in the Grove was launched by the former owners of the Cabin Inn (which split ways with the City Museum a few weeks ago). It's a good space, good theme, good patio and full of bike art (with more coming in each day). The only problem is that the beers are a little pricey and the selection is still somewhat limited. Let's support this place to see where it goes.\n\nHours: Opens at 4\nSpecial: If you bike out there you get 10% off your bill\n\nFuture note: they're working on a kitchen.\nLast note: until the kitchen is up and running they let you bring in your own food for the nearby venues (ie, @cowboy or everest)",
"The Grove is an nice little neighborhood that has really taken off in the past decade. With bars and venues like the The Gramophone, Atomic Cowboy and even Novak's have given this neighborhood some of the best places in St. Louis to hang out at during evening hours. \n\nEnter Handle Bar (formerly The Church Key) which has a very unique niche as a bar that is bike-friendly as in they are encouraging you to bring in your bikes and have a drink or four. Not sure if drinking and riding is encouraged but it provides an interesting place to drink.\n\nThe venue has a really nice size to it first off. It appears they kept some of the tables from the Church Key which is awesome. They also have a pool table which is always a plus. It's lit pretty well which is cool because they have a lot of art work using bikes surrounded on the inside which is nice to view while enjoying a brew.\n\nI recommend (weather permitting) to check out the patio! It's not the size of the Atomic Cowboy's but it's a nice medium size patio that's pretty wide open with art work all over the place. Plus I believe I saw a bike repair station outside as well. \n\nThe drinks at this place are really neat for the clear fact they support local beers (Schafly, Six Row, etc.). The pricing was a bit high but if that's too much then you can always go with the always trusty PBR for a $1. And they had some mixed drinks as well. Also there was some food on the menu but I didn't try any out.\n\nIn addition, there wasn't any smoking on the inside which was awesome but you could go out on the patio if needed to get your smoke on.\n\nI would say that the Handle Bar has a future ahead of it. I would say the other thing that might be a turn off for some is the pricing of the local brews but there is a pretty wide selection for those who are looking for an adult beverage. Also it pays a bit if you go on your bike (10% off your bill). If you are a bike rider who likes to have a drink or five then check out the Handle Bar. Even if your not a bike person, it's still a pretty cool spot to hang out at with friends.",
"Congratulations Handle Bar! Bike themed bar on my way home from work that has amazing hand crafted pizza's (and other nosh), well selected local beers (at reasonable prices - that's all relative isn't it?), indoor bike parking, happy hour specials, 10% cycle-in discount, $2 mystery beers, nice patio (with fire pits), and friendly staff? Yes, please!\n\nMy unsolicited suggestions: Going to need more bike hooks if the place takes off (which I hope it does). A little too clean and sportsbar-ish (but I'll chalk that up to the newness). A little too well-lit in my opinion (perhaps fewer, more intentionally placed lights.) A little heavy on the tie-died-esque decor for my tastes (not just hippies that ride bikes). Lastly, Blues Traveler came up on the juke box. This shouldn't happen (otherwise the juke box seemed okay, albeit a little on the tame side.) This would be a great spot for a rotating cast of guest dj's providing background music.\n\nI like!",
"Went on a Friday night to a very quiet scene around 7pm. I love my local beers but would have liked to see something new instead of the stand-by St. Louis brews. The menu is very limited for food, but very tasty. We had a prosciutto and goat cheese pizza and garlic bread, which was a perfect start to a night of drinking. I think the 3 stars deserves an asterisk noting potential greatness and my return business to see how this new bar will grow.",
"Went to Handlebar on their opening weekend and became an instant fan! \n\nThe bike theme and discount for those who came in on their bike is awesome, and I am an even bigger fan of the huge patio out back. The patio has chalk-like paintings on the pavement, which I thought was quite clever. They do need to get more tables set up out there, as there was plenty of room for more (although they may have already done this since I am a bit late on writing the review.) \n\nThe live music was great, and it would be helpful to have more of a stage area for them as I felt that they were sort of shoved back in the corner of the bar. There is also a pool table up front for your entertainment! \n\nThe local beer selection is always a hit with me and they had a variety of other local micro-brews on tap that I have never heard of that I would like to try. And of course they had some New Belgium beer to go along with the bike theme. \n\nThey have some great happy hour specials with $3 STL bottles and $1 PBR nights (Tues- Thurs), which will definitely bring me back! I would love to try their pizza too! What a great new STL bar!",
"Who knew St. Louis could be so hip?\n\nThe Grove area has it going on these days - first a giant sign that now lets you know exactly the name of their 'hood, now a bicycle-friendly bar! Seems like our fair city is starting to keep up with the rest of the world...\n\nStopped in Handle Bar for a quick drink with a gal pal the other night. It was empty inside, but I got here right at 5 pm. In addition to cheap drafts during happy hour, they also have a \"Bartender's Special\" - that night it was Guinness. I wasn't having it, but I know we have some yelpers out there who are fans. \n\nI tried the Six Row Whale - MAN! That's some good beer! Had I not had other plans that night, I would have been content sitting at that bar and drinking myself silly with Whale beer. \n\nMy companion and I tried to order an appetizer, but the kitchen wasn't opening until 6. And about the time we were packing up, our cute little bartender brought us a plate of hummus. I felt terrible 'case we didn't have time to eat it, but I'm thinking she was able to put it to good use (i.e., her tummy). \n\nCome check out this cool bar! It's in a great STL area, the drinks are cheap, the staff is nice and they care about the planet. What more do you want, people?",
"Do you have two legs? Do you have a liver? Excite all your body parts in one location. Run by a sexy pixie of a woman, this bar features delicious one of a kind cocktails made by expert bar mixtresses. \n\nGet the shrimp and goat cheese pizza, along with a spiked cider slathered with alcoholic whipped cream. You will go into a flavor coma. \n\nNice patio area with a big cast iron stove to keep your tush warm in the winter months. \n\nNOM!",
"I've been a fan of the little crew that runs Handle Bar since the opened the Cabin Inn at City Museum. While it's too bad they had to part ways with CM, I'm glad they finally got a bigger venue, they deserve it. The concept behind Handle Bar is great, and fills a unique niche in STL. It's also nice to see yet another awesome bar in the Grove. \n\nThe place is pretty spacious, but the stairwell in the middle is a bit unfortunate and leaves the bands sectioned off in the back corner. Oh well, can't fault old architecture. Out back they have what appeared to be a pretty spacious patio, but it was covered in snow and ice when I was there. The beer selection is pretty extensive and includes lots of micro brews. They have various drink specials though out the week, trivia, a pool table, and lots of live music. \n\nWe got there around 9pm on a Friday and there was a decent crowd, and by the time we left several hours later the place was packed... glad to see they're doing well!!",
"The Handle Bar is quickly becoming one of my favorite bars in St. Louis. No cover, reasonably priced drinks, a strong selection of bottled beers plus some good local brews on tap, a friendly crowd and a house band with a penchant for Johnny Cash covers. What's not to like?\n\nOne of the bartenders tonight seemed to be new to the job, but she made my Manhattan with a very generous dose of Maker's Mark and a smile, which was much appreciated.\n\nLet's face it: any bar that greets you with the spectacle of two flannel-clad young women playing chicken on tallbikes in the middle of the street is bound to provide you with an interesting Friday night.",
"As a cyclist and a fan of all things bikes, I can't believe it took me so long to make it into Handle Bar. And I'm thrilled I finally did. What a great bar. The decor gives you plenty of cool stuff to look at and poke around in. \n\nGreat beers on tap and good variety of bottled beers. I love that the bartender offers a $2 blind reach into the beer cooler for canned beer b/c hey, who hasn't said \"surprise me\" once or twice when asked what they're having?\n\nThe food was delicious and the chef even brought it out to our table (it was a slow Tuesday night) and then came back to check on us a couple of times, which was just really friendly. \n\nI guess I shouldn't be surprised by how friendly and cool the staff are b/c it is a bike bar after all. And the cyclists that hang in the Grove are just good people.\n\nI will definitely go back again and again, and can't wait for the weather to clear so I can ride in."

"GM+T will easily win every Best Fried Chicken poll for STL in the coming future. We've all loved Rick's chicken from other restaurants he has been chef, but this is by far the best he has created. \n\nHis creative ability to take a marinade + a dry rub to produce an extra crispy, juicy and flavorful chicken. To have a true comfort meal, I added some traditional Southern sides; slow cooked field peas, macaroni & cheese and cracklin cornbread. \n\nThe macaroni and cheese was made with white cheddar and Gouda. I would've never thought to put Gouda in a mac & cheese, but it made it so rich and creamy. \n\nI could not resist dipping my cornbread that was made with pork renderings and topped with a caramelized honey glaze into the slow cooked field peas broth. Come binding the two was a treat within itself. Telling you that the peas are made with salt cured bacon, is enough. It is as if your southern grandmother prepared them for Sunday dinner. \n\nI did start out with an appetizer, their fried green tomatoes. Fannie Flagg would be proud and jealous of these delicious treats. I loved them and I do not like red tomatoes. I only eat fried green tomatoes. \n\nThe service is in true Southern hospitality style. Rick and his team know how to do it - they nailed it on opening day. I can't wait to return. \n\nWill I return? - I gotta try the catfish\n\nWhen: September 13, 2017\nWhy: opening day lunch",
"Rick continues to grace (pun intended) Saint Louis with the best southern fare around. The location is in the old sweetie pies building and they did an excellent job redoing the space to make it both gorgeous and comfortable. We tried the ribs and the sweet tea brined turkey leg which are both to die for. You absolutely have to get the mashed butternut squash, the homefries and the greens as sides. And of course the biscuits and three was incredible as well. Overall wonderful experience. We will be back many times!",
"I anxiously anticipated Grace's opening in the Grove and Rick and his staff didn't disappoint. Everything was perfectly executed. We were greeted walking in the door and given menus and a chance to order a drink while we waited. Don't skip the cocktails! The mint julep was outstanding. The line moved quickly and every staff member we encountered was friendly and gracious. \n\nThe food was everything you've come to expect from Rick. The collard greens had perfect flavor and the pickled beets had just the right amount of tartness. And the chicken! Shut the door delicious. I could seriously make myself sick by eating too much here. \n\nGreat location! Amazing food! Wonderful service! It's a can't miss.",
"Grace is a more than a restaurant it's a place you go to eat and feel like home. The food is what you would imagine from your childhood but better. Everything has so much flavor, and richness I couldn't stop eating! If you're looking for a place to take the family or just stop in for lunch this is the place it's accessible for all, they have this cool sign that says \"If you're able share a table\". I think places in stl really need more commuter seating to bring us all together like this. I have extremely high hopes for Grace and the name they will leave in the Grove!",
"I think it's bad to say that it's taken me a week to make it to Grace Meat + Three, but I finally made it. Everything Rick Lewis has done in Saint Louis has been great and it's finally time he has his own place. When you arrive you are greeted by a smiling face and are told about the specials. It was a little after 11am and the line was already almost out the door. \n\nYou place your order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The service is so quick, almost by the time you find a place to sit, your order is ready. Today I started with an order of the fried green tomatoes. They had a cornmeal crust and were crispy. They are perfect way to start the meal. For my entree, I ordered the sweet tea turkey leg with Mac and cheese, and corn bread. I expected a decent size leg but when it came out, it was almost as big as the tray. The turkey leg was juicy and delicious. The mac and cheese was creamy and had a crunch top. The corn bread is what you want in cornbread, a crispy outside and fluffy inside. Everything was absolutely wonderful and I think I found my new go to place!",
"Got a chance eat here today. We split the crunchy and pipping hot fried green tomatoes. Fried chicken was delicious crispy and spicy and totally worth all the anticipation . My husband really enjoyed his mofu as well. Between us we tried the mac n cheese, pickled beets, three beans and the turnip greens ( sigh!!! Sooo good). One of the servers was very friendly and went out of her way to talk to us about the concept, dishes vegetarian friendly choices etc. \nI was concerned about parking, but there was a lot of street parking around. There is a public parking lot diagonally opposite to the restaurant. \nThe ambience was great, including a beautiful mural which has been in that spot for a very long time. \nThe only problem is that they call out your name when the food is ready and it is sometimes hard to heard over music and conversation. But they just opened and hopefully will get the kinks straightened out soon! \nThis is going to be my go to place to bring visitors to taste the amazing food of St. Louis.",
"I had the chicken tenders, home potatoes, mac n cheese, and and apple cobbler. Everything was good!!!!",
"This is hands down the best fried chicken in STL. One of my favorite restaurant in STL. I would give 6 stars if possible.",
"The name is a little deceptive for Grace Meat + Three. It makes you think you get a meat plus three side items. Not so. You get two sides. If you want a third, it will cost you an additional three dollars. If you think you're going to grab a quick lunch there, think again. We waited twenty minutes in line to place our order but the food came out quickly (about another ten minutes). If you could find a seat at the bar, it looked like you could order there instead of standing in line. \n\nWe decided to start and share the deviled eggs which were very good. He went with the fried bologna sandwich (which came with no sides) and I did the chicken with potatoes and smashed butternut squash. He said his sandwich was good but not filling. He had a fried egg on top of it. My chicken was delicious. The skin was so nice and crispy and flavorful. Yeah, that's right I eat the skin and if you don't, shame on you. \n\nTwo things I didn't like were they had no Pepsi or Coke, only excel(?) products. My sides were just plopped on the tray which was okay for the potatoes but did not make the butternut squash look appetizing ( it was). \n\nWould I come back here? Yes, if I have some time to kill. I'll catch you on the flip side.",
"Rick Lewis is pretty much Mark McGwire. The guy just keeps hitting home runs when he opens restaurants. First Southern and now Grace Meat + Three. By the way, I do realize McGwire took steroids but who didn't back then? It was the thing to do in the 90s! As was the Macarena. What a time to be alive!\n\nI met my brother here for a \"cheat day\" meal. I couldn't think of a better place to ruin all my hard work in the gym and in the kitchen than at this new southern cuisine hot spot in the Grove.\n\nIn order to get a taste of a few things we split a half hot chicken and half rack of BBQ pork ribs. Our four sides: cornbread, Mac and cheese, fried potatoes, and greens.\n\nReview:\nHot chicken: unlike Lewis' other hot chicken place, Southern, this place only has one heat level. It's certainly spicy but not too spicy. As expected, the chicken was big, juicy, and crispy. It got my nose running and eyes watering. Loved it! It's pretty much what you'd get at Southern from what I could tell. That's good! \n\nBBQ Ribs: Not overly meaty but plenty filling and topped with an excellent, sweet glaze. More than likely I'll be going for the hot chicken over the ribs from now on but that's 100% because the hot chicken is the Mayor of Flavor Town.\n\nFried potatoes: ours were fresh out of the oven. Very crispy, thick, and good seasoning.\n\nMac and cheese: not bad. Could have been more cheesy(everything in the world could be more cheesy, though, in my opinion). The crumble on top added a nice flavor.\n\nCornbread: Tasty. Not too sweet. More bread than corn...whatever that means...wink wink.\n\nGreens: I'm not a greens guy but my brother liked it.\n\nConclusion paragraph:\nI had high expectations going in. Especially since I've limited my carbs and calories for the last two weeks. A bad cheat meal would have = a sad Scott. However, I was very pleased with everything and highly recommend this to anyone looking to get some belt busting southern food!"

"I am from Texas and I was raised with authentic Mexican food in every corner. Living in Florida makes it difficult to find a restaurant with Mexican cooks. This isn't a place for someone that enjoys high end dining experience. However, if you are in need of eating real Mexican food this is the place. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the delicious food. I will be returning.",
"This hole in the wall was damn good! Loved their little salsa bar and everything else. \nHad carne asada, cueritos, chorizo, and tripa tacos. They were huge and delicious! Carne asada and chorizo were my favorite. \nFor a drink, I had a large tamarindo drink. You do not need a large. I couldn't finish the drink.\nI paid $11.99 for 4 tacos and a large drink. Could have easily cut that down by ordering a smaller drink and maybe only eating two or three tacos. Seriously, tacos were large and had plenty of meat.",
"My wife and i saw this place and was hesitant to try it. But went inside and it was very small. Wife ordered the chicken enchiladas and i ordered the steak burrito and everything was excellent. Best mexican food in this area. Can't wait to ho back with friends. So don't let the outside fool ya.",
"Delicious soft texture handmade tortilla tacos , the tacos were big compared to other taquerias, very good authentic Mexican hot sauce, delicious sweet fruit water\nThank you!!! I'll be back!!! Very hard to find good tacos lately, but these were good, totally recommended\nBeing raised in a Mexican family, I know the good authentic Mexican food, this small place is better than any other place, don't be fooled sometimes the smallest place is the best!!!!!",
"We thought carmelitas was a great place for many years and haven't eaten Mexican food there many times and enjoyed it but this place is unbelievable more authentic, I always try the chimichangas chicken first to compare it to the other places I had them here they were unbelievable and huge enough for two people to eat the only problem and it wasn't a problem for me but it can only fit about 12 people in the restaurant 16 + b standing-room-only",
"Was down for Hurricane Irma recovery, wanted a Cuban Sandwich. Excellent choice. I liked it so much, I stopped and grabbed two steak tacos the next day. Excellent as well. I'll be stopping by next time I'm in Largo.",
"I've been to this place on a couple of occasions now and I continue to be impressed. I've traveled in Mexico, and LOVE authentic Mexican food. This place is SO authentic that they feature regional specialties that even I had never heard of! Fortunately I had my phone because Google knows everything! I can't wait to get back here and explore their extensive menu further! If you like REAL Mexican food, served by real Mexicans, you can't do better.",

I can't wait to get back here and explore their extensive menu further! If you like REAL Mexican food, take a journey through their menu sometime!",
"Some of the best Tacos I've ever had ANYWHERE. Truly authentic. From the Tortillas to the over-generous fillings. I ordered 3 and could only eat 2. 5 tacos, chips & salsa, guacamole, and 2 Cokes for $12.72.....WIN!!!!",
"This place has excellent steak tacos. Affordable price. The steak has good flavor and is seasoned with some good spices. Overall great place to eat. Hole in the wall place. I would recommend."

"Hipster American/Italian restaurant with delicious pizza, pasta, salads and desserts. The ambiance is modern and fresh and the lighting is warm and soothing. Santa Barbara will love this new addition to their restaurants and coffee shops. Official grand opening is Monday for dinners only and another week or so for lunch. Wait till they open for breakfast -- Primo coffee is so good you will never step foot in a Starbucks or even Peet's. I am obviously a fan of their Los Angeles locations but they have really outdone themselves here in Santa Barbara. Try the pizza Marguerita -- fresh from the oven and so good!",
"The worst freakin service.... I almost left before anyone came. The food was HORRIBLE ... No basil as listed in my caprese .... Giant peppercorns that almost broke my tooth. I couldn't even finish it!hige waste of time and money!",
"Great food! Excellent wine! Very nice servers. Hope this will be the hot new place on state street!",
"Caffe Primo has been open all of four days to date and I have already been two times, and am likely heading there for dinner because talking about all this food will surely work up my appetite. Clearly, I'm picking up what they're putting out - delicious pizzas with an amazing, doughy, Sicilian style crust, yummy pastas, rich desserts and fresh seafood! \n\nHubs and I like to eat and I imagine it won't take too long before we've tried the whole menu. For now, here is the scoop on my fave dishes:\n\nWild Mushroom Pizza - Excellent sauce, not too sweet and not too thick. It tastes homemade with no trace of canned tomato paste, a win!\n\nTuna Tartar - Heavenly! Large cuts of fresh ahi, slightly seasoned to perfection atop a mountain of fresh avocado combined with the slight crunch of freshly chopped zucchini. So good and incredibly reasonably priced, especially considering the portion. I used to like the Tuna Tartare at Intermezzo until they started serving tablespoon sized portions of ahi smeared over a dollop of avocado with 3 taro chip flakes. CP's Tuna Tartar tastes 10 times fresher to me, is about 3 - 4 times the quantity and only a fraction of the price at Intermezzo. Sop up every last bite with the fresh baked baguette slices and get ready to head to food bliss. Stop it, I'm making myself hungry right now.\n\nWhite Truffle Shrimp Angel Hair - Rich, creamy, flavorful and uniquely complimented by the fresh avocado. I even enjoyed eating the pasta without the shrimp. It was great on it's own. \n\nShort Rib Pappardelle Pasta - Tender short rib, pappardelle noodles and a rich, red sauce, mmm good. \n\nFried Calamari - Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, seasoned well and very tasty!\n\nMy favorite, favorite, favorite... Sicilian Tres Leche Cake! The best tres leche cake that I've ever had, anywhere, period. The \"leche\" sauce reminds me of a Chantilly, vanilla bean creme. The delicacy of the sauce married with the thick density of the cake is outstanding! It's the stuff dessert dreams are made of. \n\nHonorable mentions, Spaghetti Puttanesca (spicy, flavorful, wonderful), Meatballs - yes! \n\nI'm also loving the Nikkasi \"Dawn of the Red\" beer and the Daou 2014 Cab. \n\nCaffe Primo has a great location in the heart of Downtown SB, with a sleek design and fantastic, large windows for people watching. There is also a lovely patio if you'd prefer to dine outdoors. They have three big screen TVs so you can watch your favorite team while keeping it a bit classier than your standard dive. \n\nI wish Caffe Primo lots of success. It's a great addition to lower State St. I can't wait until they are open for lunch!",
"Today is the first day they are open for brunch. The menu has a little bit of everything for everyone. \n\nStaff is friendly and service was fast. Large plates. And the potato side for the breakfest rocks with a little bit of a spice.",
"Beautiful, clean, and spacious venue with big open kitchen. Server was friendly, but inexperienced. Her description of the nightly special was \"salmon served with squash\". You are not going to tempt people with such anemic description. \n\nThe calamari was tender with a thin crunchy coating, but the flavor was plain. It needed more seasoning, maybe some garlic herb topping or thinly sliced fried lemon or jalapeno. The shrimp truffle pasta was also under seasoned. The angel hair (high surface area pasta) quickly absorbed what little sauce there was and I was left with a ball of pasta. The burger wasn't memorable. It wasn't bad, but there are other places on State serve better burgers, such as Union Ale, Cadiez, and Eureka. \n\nThe three milk cake was delicious, but it was also $9, which was expensive considering Downey's scrumptious desserts are $10 and Lark charges $9 for their beautiful sweets. It also took an unreasonable amount of time to plate and expedite. I didn't time it with a stop watch, but I ordered the cake when the lady next to me started on her bowl of pasta. She finished her entree and ordered desserts by the time I received my cake. \n\nOverall, I love the airy spacious venue, but the cuisine wasn't exciting enough for me to return.\n\nPS. After my less than stellar review, the manager send me this unprofessional incoherent pm and this happened to other reviewers too. Is the guy drunk, high, or just illiterate? The icing on the cake was that in his rush to message me, he did it under a fake account (gave Cafe Primo two 5 star reviews) and had since deleted that account when he noticed his mistake. \n\n\"thanks for the lengthy note. curious if you are aware we are two weeks new? i always appreciate feedback, thus i will advise our desserts are housemate, they don't come from a cardboard box which requires skill and quality product. as well, burgers are 100 % wagyu from my friends at shalhoob meat (best protein vendor in santa barbara county), and at 1/3 pound most find them delicious. it looks like you won't be back, but if you do decide to return be sure to alert me. i am fairly certain as we find our groove, and we will, it won't be that of a 2 star experience. thanks, again for your lengthy play by play review. andrew\"",
"This was the first day that this place has been open for brunch. The service was a bit slow but the food was so delicious and the wait staff was very friendly. The space is very beautiful and the ambiance was nice. I ordered the Chilaquiles with a side of fruit and the fruit was very fresh. \n\nI believe this place will only improve from here so please visit when your in Santa Barbara!! Just be patient with the wait.",
"The food was good and has a good vibe. The staff is friendly and though a new start up restaurant you can tell they are trying their best to accommodate the customers. Genuine staff. Gave us two free coffees to go. I would list as four stars since the staff is new and slow to bring out food or take your check. But they made it up with the free coffees. \n\nAnother reason my food was slow was because it didn't come out right and they had to redo it. Once they work out the kinks this place will be great to come back. Lots of potential in the future. \n\nI had the oysters. They're fresh and tasty. Though the only thing I didn't like was the olive oil they put in it. Maybe not olive oil but some type of Italian dressing that tasted a lil funny. \n\nPrices are reasonable as well.",
"Andrew Morgan, thank you so much for having me at your soft opening! I had an amazing time and everything was DELICIOUS!!!\n\nOur 5 course meal started off with a Margherita pizza. I've had margherita pizza in Italy and I can definitely vouch for how good the pizza at Caffe Primo is. The crust is amazing and has the perfect amount of crunch to it. Their house salad has an amazing mix of balsamic vinaigrette and olive oil, with fresh greens and radishes. We got to try a crispy-clean kind of Chardonnay, a Cab Sav, and Lizard's Mouth by Fig Mtn was offered there too! \n\nFor shared small plates, we ordered calamari, pomegranate guacamole with chips, truffle fries, and meatballs. The meatballs, calamari, and guacamole was so yummy. Wish there was more truffle oil on the fries though! \n\nOn to the main dish, I LOVED my pesto pasta dish! I love artichoke hearts and cherry tomatoes so that had caught my eye from the beginning. Not too salty and a great vegetarian pasta option. \n\nThe Tres Leches .... I am at a loss for words. I have personally tried making Tres Leches Cake and know just how hard it is to get those three layers to stay together and not collapse from all the liquidy ingredients incorporated into the recipe. Anyways, order the Tres Leches. I would definitely ask for more raspberries because it goes SO well with the cake. It is very sweet but SO GOOD! I fell in love. \n\nThe restaurant has a fairly open dining area, so it can get very social and very loud. I like the layout of their bar it's a square shape in the middle of the restaurant and I saw a sign that said something along the line of a Seafood Bar, so I would definitely check that out next time. \n\nCongrats on the soft opening and thank you for having us, Andrew!",
"This new place has a long way to go. The service was deplorable even with 2 servers and only 5 tables. The people I would assume were managers were on their cell phones the entire time. My Cheeseburger took 20 minutes to cook (ordered it medium). Also added bacon and subtracted the lettuce, tomato, and onion and guess how it arrived at my table... No bacon and with the lettuce, tomato, and onion. Good luck trying to get them to fix it. I was ignored even though I had flagged down my server. I was told as they walked by, \"I'll be right back.\" Didn't see them again until I was ready to pay. Looks like SB Brew Co will keep my business when I want a burger and Patxi's for my pizza."

"The picture I posted of the empty plate only tells half the story. \n\nYes, the breakfast at 8 PM after a fight from Orlando tasted great. Good veggie omelet, hash browns, toast. Everyone's food was good. \n\nNow class, please ask me how long it took to get the food in front of my gullet. Freddy? \"Um, 15 minutes?\" Wrong, Freddy. Vanessa? \"I'd guess 25 minutes'. No, sweetie, your still off. Charlie, give it a go. \"45 minutes, right?\" No Charlie, but getting warmer. Give it a shot, Monique. \"I'd say...55 minutes\". You're closest! Congrats! The correct answer is, 60 Minutes! Hooray! \n\nYes, folks, 60 minutes from the time we entered. The last thing to arrive? Two pancakes on a plate. Service was unbelievably slow. Waitress was nice enough, but we didn't see her for the first 10 minutes after we were seated...which, when she did arrive, we were ready to put in food orders with the drink order...but alas, it didn't expedite the process at all. Maybe it confused them. Yes, class, that does mean we waited 50 minutes for the order to arrive. \n\nIt's Denny's. Good food, be prepared to wait. On this night, we did.",
"I'm pretty sure this isn't what corporate had in mind. Beware of the incompetent team of lazy waitresses who will make you wait on them each and every time. Prepare to wait more than 30 minutes for your food and that is if your waitress remembers to put it in for you. Prepare for overcooked toast, runny eggs and have your sausage e-coli-fresh medium rare. Pass this place up! PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT EAT HERE!",
"I went in with a party of four at about 12am and the place was not busy. We were seated right away, and ordered right away. I ordered the Tbone steak and eggs and asked for medium rare. The steak came back completely raw, very undercooked. I asked for another steak this time cooked properly. \n\nOnce they returned the cook steak to me it DID NOT taste right at all. \n\nOk I figured the cook didnt know how to cook steak, it happens. \n\nBut then I realized the one waitress used to be an exgirlfriend of mine. \n\nThe manager came to me and I said I see theres an exgirlfriend of mine working here who DID NOT wait on us that may have something to do with this problem I am having with my food.\n\nThe manager immediaetly said I know, but your exgirlfriend (dont want to mention names, but the manager said her name) does not cook. I replied back by saying, how did you know she was my ex there are 3 waitress my age working here, how did you know it was her?\n\n The manager got very defensive and didnt know what to say. But did say well your waitress and your exgirlfriend talked, I over heard them.\n\nNeedless to say she took my meal off the bill and that was that because I refused to eat the steak.\n\n.Now after returning home my sister started puking from the bacon she ate from her meal. Coincidence?\n\nI recommend if you live in the area and have either an enemy or exsomebody who works here, stay far away. Because its clear this Denny's does not care about their customers.\n\nBut dont worry there are plenty of Denny's in the area to go to. And this is the FIRST bad experience I ever had with any Denny's, I have been going for the past 15 years.",
"We waited an hour for our food and only got after I went to a manager. Our server didn't check in with us while waiting for the food. We thought that maybe they were short or backed up in the kitchen, but when the food came, things that were supposed to be hot were barely warm. Another server in our area sat down for at least ten minutes with.a table of customers, while we sat wondering where our server was. Terribly poor customer service.",
"I've found good Denny's. This was not one of them. They cant remember to bring coffee, toast, sauces or shakes.\n\nWorst Denny's, ever!",
"I recently ate there. I had the fish and chips. I didnt think at the time, but being that I have a shellfish allergy, that the fish would be cooked in the same fryer oil as the fried shrimp. Well, with my allergy I scratched all night. Good thing I didnt have any breathing problems! My fault, or theirs, I dont know. I just wanted to make you yelpers aware.",
"I stayed at the Wyndham right next to this Denny's. AS the internet was out at our hotel, I came to Denny's to utilize the Wifi. The wait to get a table (on every account) was long. They had MANY open tables....yet a waiting list to get seated. I had the Chicken sandwich (Fit fare). This was the worst chicken sandwich I have ever had. The bread was not fresh, the chicken small, and it came with vegetables that were not fresh. I then ordered a salad as I did not finish my lunch. The lettuce was not fresh. The waitress never came to check and see if I needed another drink, water, anything and I was there for over an hour. Poor service and poor food. I had to visit three times (only restaurant near the hotel with Wife) and service and food was bad or mediocre at best on all 3 accounts. Horrible Denny's!",
"Pretty weak, they rely on nearby hotels because they are all that is there. The prices are cheap but it would be nice if the cook new how to make some eggs.",
"It's Dennys. You know what to expect. But I expected better.\nOur server clearly didn't want to be there, and never smiled once.\nThe food was ok, but it was so freezing cold in the joint, it was obvious that they just wanted to get us out of there as quickly as possible.",
"We stayed 3 weeks in the USA. We ate several times in Denny's restaurants. This one was realy awfull. I should have read commentaries on YELP before ordering..."

"EXCELLENT Indian food. Sad to see Istanbul Café go, but this is even better!! I got the lamb vindaloo ($14). The rest of my party and I got a \"bread basket\" to share ($7, naan bread, garlic naan, and paratha), which was great for dipping and scooping. Before ordering, we were brought a bowl of papad (basically like thin bread--thinner than a tortilla, but with a little spice) and 3 masalas (sauces) for the papad. We were given a choice of \"medium\" or \"hot\" for the spice level of our entrées. I choose \"hot\" because I love spicy food. It was tasty and not overpowering at all. I would give the \"hot\" a 7/10 on the spice scale. Just enough to clear your nose and produce maybe a tiny bit of sweat after eating it for a while. ;) The \"medium\" gets a 4/10 spiciness. The vindaloos were brought out in two bowls--one with the meat and sauces combined, and one with the rice, and you combine them in whatever proportions you want. Anyway--overall, great food, generous portions, attentive waitstaff. Check this place out!!!",
"Delicious! Had starters of prawns in a spicy sauce and cauliflower florets in a tangy glaze. Entrees were chicken korama, vindaloo, and xacuti. Also had garlic naan. \n\nAll delicious!!!",
"We love Indian food, and when we saw opening of the new place (arrived from NYC), we decided to check it out right away. Maybe our expectations were too high, but we were not very impressed with the food (service was good though). The best part of the dinner was the appetizer \"GOBI GOPURA\" (CAULIFLOWER FLORETS IN GINGER GARLIC TOMATO SAUCE). The combination of flavors and spiciness were perfect! But the main courses were average, to say the least. Both chicken and lamb were not spicy enough, even though we ordered them to be spicy. The taste was mediocre compare to the similar food at other Indian restaurants in Indy.",
"I was really craving Indian food, so I gathered some of my less adventurous family members to check out this new place near our house. It was great! Even the picky members of the family kept saying how positive of an experience it was with every course!\n\nThey bring you papadum (lentil crackers) and some chutney when you sit down, and we started with some soups. We got the Murg Ka Surba (chicken soup) and Tamateur Nu Bahar (tomato soup) and both were excellent! My aunt even ordered a tomato soup to go for lunch the next day.\n\nFor our entrees (all medium spiced), we got a good spread:\n\nLamb Vindaloo- Probably the most \"curry\" flavored dish we got. Flavors included turmeric, ginger, and garlic. It had nice spices in it, but the lamb was a tad too cooked, still enjoyable, but I would get the Chicken Vindaloo next time.\n\nVegetable Kholahpori - Their version of Veggie Korma (my usual favorite). This dish was pretty mellow, not too many spices. Vegetables were perfectly tender.\n\nChicken Xacuti - Wow! This was everyone's favorite. It's described as \"chicken cooked in a pasta made with aromatic spices and coconut\". The coconut flavor wasn't overwhelming like I expected but instead made a deliciously spiced dish with perfectly cooked chicken. This was the entree the waiter recommended to us and it did not disappoint! Would definitely order this one again.\n\nHare Masala Ka Chicken - Our second favorite, chicken cooked in spinach, onion, and tomato sauce. It's not your typical Tikka Masala, because of the spinach but it was surprisingly good! If you like spinach dip, definitely try this one. Very yummy!\n\nAll entrees come with rice, and we ended up getting a second helping (there were 4 of us) although we had plenty of leftovers. Also, don't forget the naan!! The waiter suggested the bread basket, but we weren't big fans of the Partha (thin naan). The Garlic Naan was where it's at, and I recommend just getting a couple orders of that.\n\nThe portions were larger than most Indian restaurants I've been to. I've only been to a couple of other places in Indy, but this one was the best. The Manager/Owner came over to make sure everything was going well and it really was. We had a great time and my picky family members were excited that they went out of their comfort zone and really enjoyed themselves.",
"Love this new neighborhood spot! We came for the lunch buffet and were very impressed. Excellent variety of dishes, all of them very tasty. We loved the flavors and spice in each dish. We'll definitely be back!",
"Really excited to see this restaurant join some of our other favorites in the 86th/Ditch corridor. We ordered the chicken makhanwala and palak paneer with regular naan. The portions were generous and we had plenty leftover to take home for lunch. We like spicy so we asked for it extra hot and it was just about right. The service was attentive. I really hope this place does well. I'm looking forward to trying some other dishes on subsequent visits.",
"While I was very sad to learn that the previous establishment at this location was gone, it is nice to have another Indian restaurant give the northwest side a try after a few others have moved on. \n\nI always stick to the basics when visiting a new Indian restaurant for the first time and so went with the palak paneer with mild-medium spice. It was very good; the paneer was fresh and the spices nicely balanced. The spice level was consistent with what I would call mild-medium, meaning, there was noticeable spice, but it wasn't hot (no sweating or runny nose). I also tried some of my friend's dish which was an eggplant selection and it was delicious! I'll definitely order that on a future visit. We shared some garlic naan which was fresh and flavorful. \n\nService was great, everyone was very friendly, and clearly took pride in making high-quality food. They didn't seem to mind that we spent kind of a long time occupying a table visiting after we were done with our meal (there was no one waiting, and still some tables open, I promise!) \n\nI'm looking forward to my next visit!",
"LOVED this place! The service was so friendly and helpful. We were seated right away. I saw that they do offer a buffet for lunch, but dinner is menu ordering. I liked the little touches of nice water glasses and cloth napkins. They also had Indian music playing, which I enjoyed the complete emergence into the culture!\n We took some friends who had never tried Indian before and the staff was more than happy to answer question and even brought out some yogurt to help cool down a couple of dishes for the newbies. \nThe food was delicious and fresh. We each ordered an entree and shared with the whole table and there was more than enough for all four of us. We even had some left overs to take home! \nIndia Cafe will definitely be added to our normal rotation of restaurants! Can't wait to go back and up our heat level! YUM!",
"For my first Indian food experience, I have no complaints! I even burned the crap out of my mouth due to the spice but was still smiling because everything was so delicious. \n\nThe restaurant was great and in a convenient location. Staff was enormously helpful as we had no idea what to order. Luckily we went with some friends who took over for us! \n\nThey bring out a large rice cracker type app that goes with the 3 drippings already at our table. We ordered the garlic naan to pair with the 4 entrees we chose. A tiki masala, excuti, and a curry chicken one. Then the spicy rice and chicken mix which I can't remember. Unfortunately I went for that first and it was the spiciest so I was screwed from then on out. But everything was so delicious! You can choose your spice level and my dining companions all like spice so next time I'm picking my own!",
"Fantastic! Ordered two veg dishes, naan, papadum, shrimp appetizer. Each dish was delicious. Can't wait to return."

"Opening Week Jitters?\n\nWe were promptly greeted as we walked through the door and sat within seconds. The restaurant had a very clean and new feel with a large dining area. The staff was all very nice at first and made a great impression bringing us Hershey Kisses and wishing us a Happy Valentines Day once we were sat. The menu appeared to be the same as their previous locations, lots of specialty pancakes, omelets and traditional breakfast options. The coffee was great with and came with a small container filled with cream, a nice change of pace from the ridiculous little containers that don't ever provide the right amount.. I ordered the pigs in a blanket and my wife ordered the potato omelet. Food came out quickly and was hot when it arrived to the table. The pigs in a blanket were just OK, I'm not sure what I was expecting because it was in fact pigs in a blanket; however that's all it was, just pigs in a blanket. My sausage was questionably cooked, a little to pink in the center. My wife's omelet came less the one ingredient that may have been capable of turning it into a pretty good dish, bacon. How could you forget the one item that anyone with any sanity craves 22 hours out of the day?? The waitress and staff became a little tireless with ensuring our food was good and constantly refiling my almost full cup of coffee. OK, brings me to my next point. Why do they always have to screw up a perfect coffee mixture. Its an art and almost a lottery to achieve the perfect amount of cream to sugar ratio and once its attained you can almost bet that within seconds a wait staff member will be along to pour 1/2 oz. of coffee to top off my cup. I get it, its what they are supposed to do, but come on let me win just once with my coffee. Price was OK, food was OK, but I don't think that we will be changing from our regular breakfast restaurant Jerry's, anytime soon.",
"We have been back several times since discovering this place.. We pay for our own health care and don't require huge plates of tastesless food.. When we eat out we do have high expectations for the food that we order...tasty, hot, well cooked, served by efficient and happy folks in a clean and organized establishment. That is what you get here.... We order the 4.99 senior special.. The pancake is light, tasty and thin. The meats are of good quality.. The coffee isn't our favorite ( being Keurig snobs) and the nearly $2 seems a bit excessive when we can get a really good cup of coffee for the senior price of 58 cents and McDonalds. But- all and all.. it's a lot better than most of the breakfast places around.. and the team effort is quite successful.. We wish them well..",
"The food was good but extremely over priced. One one side of the table we had 3 pancakes, 2 eggs and bacon with a cup of coffee. On the other side we had 1 waffle, sausage and hash browns with a cup of coffee. That came to a grand total (with tax) of $28.05 I did ask and they did say it was right. \n\nThe food was good but not amazing. It certainly wasn't worth $14 a plate. The quantity of food was also good but again, not worth the price tag. One of the meals was $7.99 on the menu. Leave the other one to be nearly $20. (Musta been one helluva waffle.) \n\nThe staff was friendly but over-loaded. Sunday morning is a busy busy time. Three servers on hand just isn't enough. Still, friendly and personable. The food took a while but again it was busy. \n\nAll in all, it was a fine place to eat and would have gotten a higher review but for the insanely high charges.",
"I visited Original Pancake House earlier this week, and the food was amazing! Many go here just for the breakfast, but the lunch is GREAT too. I started with a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, and it was so refreshing. Many times places claim \"fresh squeezed juice\" but it's not really. The orange juice at this place is legit. I ordered an OPH club sandwich, and it came with a generous portion of thick & crispy bacon (other restaurants sometimes skimp on this delicious meat!). The sandwich also came with a delicious bowl of tomato soup - probably one of the best I've had. The server, Lance, was courteous and funny.",
"Great breakfast! We were amazed at the big, warm smiles on the staffs' faces. Lots of energy and entusiasm. Very welcoming for kids...a kids bookshelf by the door to reduce boredom while waiting. The Original Pancake House features all of the breakfast basics you expect...especially the namesake pancakes.",
"We were told it would be a 10 minuet wait for a table. 20 minuets later we were seated. There were dirty tables everywhere with no one resetting anything. Maybe if they cleaned them off people waiting could be seated promptly. \nAnother 15 minuets later a waitress showed up for a drink order. If you order soda, lemonade, ice tea you will never get a refill (the menu says only one refill but good luck) \nThe coffee was lousy! \nAnother 15 minuets later she comes back with our drinks and takes a food order. We sit, wait and starve! 45 minuets we get our food. Pancakes of course it is the \"pancake\" house, Or should I say COLD STALE \"PANCAKES\" with raw sausage, a ham & cheese omelet (but they didn't add any cheese) So after a miserable hour and a half we get substandard food. \n\n WE WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE PANCAKE HOUSE AND WOULD SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO NOT GO THERE EITHER THE PLACE SUCKS!!!!",
"This is the best breakfast and lunch in town. Friendly staff and very clean settings. Great food!\nI'll be back for more. They receive my five stars!",
"Took too long once we were sat to even get a simple cup of coffee. Waitress was kind of rude and snappy about it. Normally I would have got up and left right then, but I was hungry and just wanted coffee now, so I stayed.\n\nOrdered Monterey omlette with pancakes. Food took over 20 minutes to arrive. Was brown, eggs should be yellow. Had no meat. Monterey omlette should have mexican spiced meat. Their omlettes come with either hashbrowns, pancakes or toast. At every other restaurant I've ever been to in the last 40 years omlettes come with hashbrowns AND pancakes or toast. I didn't read the menu carefully enough, so I ended up with a brown, meatless omlette and no hashbrowns. That's not what I wanted so I just told the waitress to take it away and I just ate the pancakes. She was indifferent and didn't ask if there were any way to rectify the situation.\n\nWhen I order a $9 omlette with the word \"Monterey\" in the title, I expect it to have mexican spiced meat in it and come with hashbrowns AND pancakes or toast.\n\nWhen I went to pay the check, the man at the cash register didn't even so much as ask me how I was doing, let alone how my breakfast was. He just robotically gave me the total and swiped my card. I did something I rarely rarely rarely do; stiffed the waitress. I have to pretty pissed to do that, and I was. Left hungry and very dissatisfied.\n\nI'll never waste my money at this place again.\n\nSticking with my favorite breakfast place; Cracker Barrel.",
"I once felt empty inside. So cold and lonely was that deep, seemingly bottomless abyss. I tried to cure it with wealth, music, buffets and delicous yet very unmanly drinks.\n\nNothing could fill it. A very large family style chinese dinner came close once, but no cohiba...\n\nUntil the day I walked into the Original Pancake House.\n\nI found fluffy, perfectly cooked pancakes the size of my head, piled high.\nA moist omelet overstuffed with green chiles and cheese, paired perfectly with tabasco.\nAn apple souffle-like pancake, glazed with cinnamon, fresh from the oven... sitting in the middle of our table waiting to be torn to shreds by young children... and me.\nFresh orange juice tastes oranges! Although, sometimes the oranges themselves do not taste that good in the first place.\nThe bacon is really really really good! Thick, gourmet bacon!\n\nI loved everything about the meal. I don't know when I will ever be hungry again?",
"We've always loved The Original Pancake House back in Hawaii, and are so happy they opened a restaurant in Boise. Love the 49er flapjacks, dutch baby, crepes, and ridiculously good oven-baked apple pancake -- specialties that take pancakes to a new level. I'm a huge fan of the fluffy oversized omelettes and always end up taking half home with me. \n\nRoman and Shane are warm and welcoming, and truly care about the food and experience they are delivering to customers. You've gotta try this place."

"I drove by this place a couple of times and it just looked goofy enough to try out. I walked in and felt like it was 1957 all over again. GREAT FOOD!!!!! The employees were friendly, and the cook came out for a break and smiled broadly when I told him how much I liked my lunch. He actually cared! It's All American fare: burgers, hoagies, hot dogs, awesome chicken cheesesteaks. Great food, nice staff, good prices. Clean and whimsical place to grab a bite. I will be back !",
"Love their burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, shakes, ice cream, chicken caesar salads, chili, and everything else on the menu is amazing!!! Fun, fun, takeout!",
"Primo-sized hoagies. Ruby's diner-like burgers. Nifty Fifty's-like milkshakes.\n\nthis place is the definition of a simple local shop that consistently puts out great food.",
"great BIG burgers, awesome shakes, amazing fries\n\nwhat more could you want?\n\n\n\nthe cherry on top - its really clean! and the decor is awesome 1950s",
"Wimpy's is a neighborhood establishment that offers sandwiches, burgers, and other standard takeout fare. In fact, they're supposedly famous for their burgers. \n\nUnfortunately, the burgers are probably the worst thing on the menu. \n\nNot that they're bad, they're just average. And when you walk into a joint that boasts about something specific, you don't want that thing to be bad at all. You want it to be a memory when you're finished; something you'll crave at random moments during the day; something that is always in play when thinking about what to do for dinner on a busy Friday night. \n\nThis is not to say Wimpy's food is bad. Actually that's not the case at all. Hoagies are good, cheesesteaks are beefy and bountiful, and their panninis deliver. The fried foods are standard but competent. Onion rings aren't the frozen food section of the grocery store kind either - they're big and at least appear to be homemade. The fries are great too. \n\nI will say the milkshakes can also be hit or miss; we've run into freezer burn taste on a couple of occasions when ordering. But for a decent variety of good affordable food, Wimpy's is a great place to go.",
"They need work but I hope that they will learn from feedback. They have the potential to be great.",
"My wife and I had driven past a ton of times and finally stopped in on Saturday. Menu was typical of a burger joint - burgers, hoagies, etc. I was disappointed to hear that their onion rings were frozen as it had the look and feel of a place that would have great rings.\n\nMy burger and fries were just OK - better than many places, but just OK - same goes for the fries. It also has a strange floor-plan with only 2 tables and the rest of the seating area is counter top - not the best way to have dinner conversation.\n\nSo, I'm glad that I tried it, but will not be back. Five Guys is only a few miles away but their burgers and fries are a world apart.",
"OH man - 1st timer! I was there on 12/16/09. I drove past this place and thought I had to stop in. It looks like the kind of place where you know you are gonna get a great burger. They did not disappoint! They open at 11am I walked in at 10:50am. The guy up front was really nice, talked to me about the menu and the quality of the food and I went on his recommendation to make me something delicious. He made me a Cowboy burger, a double. WOW- HUGE. I took a pic and looked like a cartoon burger it was so big. The quality of the meat was excellent and the onion ring topper with BBQ sauce smothered over bacon really hit the spot. Every bit put a smile on my face. I should probably not get that excited over a burger, but damn it was good. I am not in that area often but when ever I am that is my new favorite spot.",
"Best burgers on Media, fantastic selection on menu and quick service. Only two drawbacks are that they are currently closed on Sundays (which their message says witll change in September) and that they don't deliver!",
"I'd have to agree with Chris O... Overall, Wimpy's does everything pretty well, but their burgers are lacking. Nice decor inside, friendly staff, and good fries. But when we find ourselves in the burger-craving mood, we'll usually make the 10 minute drive out to 5 Guys in Broomall rather than the short walk to Wimpy's. Get better burgers, and they'd get the full 5 stars."

"Woo! First review, bitches! \n*ahem*\n\nIn all seriousness, I'm kind of surprised that no one has written about 9th Street Deli yet--they've been getting some press from the likes of Sauce, RFT and St. Louis Magazine. \n\nAnyway, 9th Street is another new business that has opened up in Soulard to, initially, little fanfare; but over the past year, people have begun to take notice. \n\nIn my limited time on this site, I'm sure I've made clear I'm kind of a food dick; I want good food, because I'm paying good money for it. But its easy to judge if an amuse bouche from an \"infusion\" restaurant is bad. How do you judge if a sandwich is bad?\n\nGlad you asked, me.\n\nI have only two rules for judging if a sandwich is good.\n1.) it better be a good fucking sandwich\n2.) I'd better not be able to (easily) make something better at home\n\nOn these commandments alone, 9th Street Deli is a solid spot. Their sandwiches are good, and for good reason. Though I'm fuzzy on the actual details, if memory serves, its been opened by a couple of guys that have worked in more refined restaurants in the past, and decided to open a deli in Soulard where their witty, charming and handsome Asian neighbors can come grab a bite to eat (I smell sitcom!). \n\nSo its a couple of guys that have a ton of experience in upscale dining that opened up a deli where they not only have \"mayonnaise\" as a condiment, but also \"red pepper aioli?\"\n\nCheck off number two on my list, we're done.",
"I have been to the 9th Street Deli twice. Both times were last fall so they may have improved since then. \n\nFood -- It was OK. Not bad, but not amazing. I liked it, but didn't love it. Certainly good enough to go back.\n\nService -- Very good. Very friendly. Sandwiches take a while because they care. It's not fast food.\n\nAtmosphere -- Here's where my issue is. The place has no character at all. It could just as easily be located in a strip mall in ANYWHERE, USA. They are in Soulard where everything has loads of character (for better or worse) and their place is just not interesting in the least. They need major work in this respect.",
"The more I go to this place, the more I like it. The Meatball sandwich is the best I've ever had. They still need to give the place some mojo, but it is a solid dining option.",
"By far the best philly cheesesteak in St Louis. If you like cheesesteak, you have to try it out. You will not be disappointed.\n\nI have not tried any other sandwiches here, as I always go for the cheesesteak. I can't imagine going here and not ordering it.....",
"CAJUN BACON....enough said. \n\nIf this place had their Cajun BLT and nothing else, I would have still given them four stars for finding BLT perfection. The bacon is thick but not chewy and appropriately doused in an intricate balance of Cajun spices. (This isn't just Joe's Stuff or a dumping of Cayenne, these guys know what they are doing). Layer that bacon on a bed of crispy lettuce, surprisingly ripe tomatoes and Texas Toast not slathered but certainly given a proper portion of mayonnaise, and this is about as good as a BLT will ever get. \n\nMouth watering yet? That is just the start of this small but mighty deli menu. 9th Street Deli makes an array of hot and cold sandwiches, ranging from your typical cold Tuna Salad sandwich to a Hot Roast Beef and Cheese (perfected with some delicious St. Louis Provel) and ends at higher end foods like the Baked Mortadella. (which comes with their AMAZING red pepper aioli...words don't describe). If their amazing sandwiches weren't enough, they had to go and add a few decent salads, amazing little sides like creamy cole slaw and their soup of the day, and bam, you have near deli perfection.\n\nIf you don't have time to dine in, they have a great boxed lunch option as well. Call ahead and they will have your sandwich, side, and desert all ready to go. This more than once has saved a business lunch for me when I may or may not have forgotten I was in charge of bringing the eats to the meeting. \n\nWhat 9th Street is lacking in ambiance, they are more than making up for in their food. I say lacking in ambiance, but in many ways, this place is quite perfect the way it is. Simple decor, sturdy tables for two or four line the walls and look out into the street and a large sandwich board announces the every day menu and their daily specials. This is what a deli is like in many parts of the world and I am not sure that 9th Street should strive to be a glamor spot. The food is solidly good, the menu small but diverse and the staff is competent without being overbearing when you order or dine. \n\nNow if only they were open on Sundays, this place may be perfection.",
"9th St Deli is one of my three favorite deli's in the STL. Conveniently located in the Soulard area with plenty of meter-less street parking. Wide arrange of sandwiches and subs. I highly recommend the Cajun Bacon Turkey Melt and the Soulard club. The Cajun Bacon has some serious kick to it and the Club is very flavorful. 9th St also has the most authentic Philly Cheese Steak in the city. With heaping helpings of the Whiz and onions, it is very good. Also 9th St has a great selection of chips to go with you meal. They have the normal Frito-Lay affair but also have a pretty good variety of Zapps chips. Only minus is that they will occasionally have stock out of some of the best flavors of Zapps. A normal sandwich combo (chips and a drink) will run you about $9.50. They have a buy nine subs get the 10th free program. Be sure to check their hours as they do change during the winter months to be lunch only.",
"Philly Cheesesteaks, Cajun Bacon, Texas Toast, Garlic Aioli?\n\nYes all those things are on the menu at this great little sandwich place. I've been three times now and I still need to go back and get the full experience.\n\nI am one of those eaters who usually find a couple of things on a menu (if I'm lucky) that really jump out and grab my attention, but 9th street has at least 10 sandwiches that I want to try.\n\n$6.99 for most sandwiches isn't too bad and with free parking and a park across the street to nosh in, it's in a great local.",
"Mmmmmm!!! Ohhhh!!! Aaaah! Arhjoiugidphaoijdoammmmmmmm!!!\n\nOkay, sorry. That was me moaning and groaning over how DELICIOUS my sandwich was. I had to hold all of that in while eating, thanks to my coworker, who may or may not have judged me if I had moaned while eating. \n\nAnyway, this place is AWESOME. Just fabulous. I can't give this my 'favorite deli in STL' badge just yet, since this was my first time, but hot damn. It was just SO good. \n\nI had the Cajun Bacon Turkey Melt -- thinly sliced turkey, cajun bacon, provel, lettuce, tomato, mayonnaise on French Italian seed. Easily the best $6.99 I've spent in a while. Oh, and it goes without saying that I subbed pepper jack cheese for the provel \"cheese\". \n\nThe sandwich was delicious. Just fabulous. Wonderful. Amazing. It came out to me piping hot. The bread was soft. The turkey was shaved so thin it was unbelievable. And it was PILED on. The pepperjack cheese was melty and gooey, and yummy, and the cajun bacon was just...algkalghdlka;jjmmmmm...Oh. There I go again. Sorry. \n\nI will come back here again. And again and again and again. I will come here so much that the workers will know me by name. The other customers will know me by name. I will be here so much that everyone will wonder if I do anything else with my free time other than visit 9th street deli. \n\nCan I give this place 6 stars? Please, yelp? Make an exception, just this once. \n\nCajun bacon. I will have dreams about this tonight.",
"After reading they had one of the best philly's in St. Louis we decided to give them a try. We went on a Saturday afternoon and after ordering we had to wait over half an hour to receive our food. That is way too long for a deli if you ask me. I will also say that the ordering experience was a little confusing as first timers. We didn't see the chips next to the counter and didn't realize we were supposed to grab them when we ordered our food, and nothing was mentioned about it.\n\nOn to the food. If you like your philly's with cheese whiz, you will love this philly. I thought it was very good. However, my husband likes the other type of philly that uses \"real\" cheese. So, between the two of us it was a toss up on the food. I would go back, but I know my husband will not, mainly due to the wait.",
"After visiting the Soulard Market yesterday, I decided lunch at 9th Street was in order. Most of the Yelp reviews I read were raves, so I wanted to find out what all of the hype was about.\n\nI ordered a Cajun Bacon Turkey Melt and have to agree, it is delish! Though a Missouri native, I am not from St. Louis, and therefore, have yet to develop an \"appreciation\" for the cheese-like substance that is Provel. So, I made a minor subsitution in that category. The \"French Italian Seed\" bread is heavenly! Crispy, yet soft, tasty and oven-baked amazingness. The cajun bacon was very interesting. It added a hint of spice, but also has a sweetness to it - so confusing.\n\nThe building is a corner gem. The decor is nice, especially the floor of broken marble remnants. Prices were comparable to chain sandwich shops and the food was definitely superior! Next on my list, the Philly."

"I had a chance to try B2 yesterday for lunch. I've ate the original Bluefin at least 100 times over the last decade. The fish quality is good, and the execution is almost as good. The service here is a work in progress. \n\nWe walked in and waited 10 minutes to be seated. The place was not busy. The man working the front desk spent 10 minutes walking back and forth putting together a takeout order while we just stood there. I even asked if we could just sit, and he was very dismissive. I complained again when the guy was going outside the restaurant, and finally he agreed to seat us. Worst seating experience I've had in a long time, so not a good way to start off a lunch. \n\nThe sushi was good, and our waiter was friendly. The pricing is a bit higher, but that comes with the higher rent and liquor license. It took us about 90 minutes to have small lunch, so I just keep that in mind if you have time constraints.",
"FRESHEST & BEST Sushi EVER!!!!!! And I DIDN'T EVEN really love their much lauded East Norriton/Plymouth Meeting location. \n\nWell, not only is this place GORGEOUS, in the space that was formerly Chops, it has THE BEST, FRESHEST Sushi I've EVER tasted up until this point. However, BEWARE, its VERY Expensive. Guess they don't (yet) know that some Mainliners are VERY Cheap; NOT Me, I SWEAR. Its more for the businessmen with expense accounts crowd, haha. They don't have lunch specials??????!!!!!! Even Morimoto, (IOW, a FINE City Estab) has Lunch Specials. Hopefully they'll learn. \n\nBut this is, perhaps, second only to Nectar, in Berwyn, in The Category of a restaurant you wouldn't expect to find in the 'burbs. Did I mention its GORGE?",
"If you are a sushi lover, this place is a must-try.\n\nI went this place with my friend. We ordered Sushi Omakaze (8 pieces of superb sushi) and a few a la carte. \n\nFish was really fresh, and we were able to taste not-so-common kinds, including Kurodai, Aji, Hotategai, Madai and some ieces that I forgot the names. \n\nI especially appreciated Saba. It was not a typical shime saba (salt and vinigar cured). It was aged, bit extremely fresh. I ended up ordering another one.\n\nTamago was very unique as you can see in the picture. I think this can be B2's signature menu. \n\nThey have a good selection of Sakes. \n\nTwo Reminders: \nKitchen menu virtually does not exist, except for a few appetizers. Price can be hefty.",
"You can tell the place is new but the quality of the food was great as expected from past Bluefin experiences.",
"5 stars experience\n\nGreat atmosphere, got seated right away at the bar, excellent and attentive service, great margarita, fabulous sushi (we recommend the fresh bikini roll). All and all a highly positive experience.",
"B2 is Bluefin's 2nd location, and it reigns over the much loved East Norriton location. I've been a Bluefin diner for over 10 years, when it was first in Plymouth meeting.\n\nThis location is beautifully modern with excellent service. The sushi is my favorite of any Japanese restaurant in the country. Best picks: Boathouse Roll (same as Davitch at the 1st location) or simply the spicy crunchy tuna roll. The unagi sushi is served warm and is amazing quality. \n\nOrder the tuna sundae or the rock shrimp sundae - both are so delicious. Whatever you order on the menu will be amazing. I love this place too much! The owner is phenomenal and friendly too.",
"Excellent traditional sushi as well as asian/ fusion dishes. Nice airy decor and excellent service!",
"Really Great Salmon rolls and Wasabi steamed dumplings. Beautiful place and nice staff.",
"I stopped in here for lunch today, and it was excellent, including the service. Glad to see the issues I experienced in my previous visit have been worked out.",
"Great apps, sushi rolls and amazing customer service, i can't wait to come back here again with my friends."

"great place to go for drinks vs the usual places i have been while visiting family and friends in DE. there is a restaurant next door that i havent been to personally, but i have heard great things. i liked the atmosphere of the bar - good wine list, and the night i was there they had $5 bellinis! yes please!! honestly it wasnt the best bellini, but hey $5 is $5. they have drink specials every night, which is always a plus. there was a decent amount of seating, especially since we got there early, although it did really fill up later in the night. i would definitely go back, and would love to try the restaurant sometime.",
"Love this place! Whenever I travel back to Delaware, Toscana is usually a spot I stop by to catch up with old friends.\n\nI haven't ever had dinner here (I'm sure it's good though), but have had dessert and drinks there a few times. \n\nThey have a fun, cozy little bar/lounge area on the side where you can hang with friends.",
"The food was terrible. The service was excellent and the ambiance is very nice. The wine, beer and bar lists are stunning in quality and breadth.\n\nWell, really just one dish was terrible and the others were Okay. We started with the fried mozerella which was beautifully cook and presented, but seriously lacking in seasoning. I then had the carpaccio which was absolutely lovely (although this is not a difficult dish to \"cook\", it was perfectly presented. For our \"mains\" we both ordered small because we have small appetites. I got a half portion of the butternut squash pasta, which was the day's special. The filling was nice, the pasta was definately homemade. But it was presented swimming in olive oil and had a sort of grittiness to it that felt like sand in your teeth. Burnt cinnamon maybe? My date ordered the mushroom risotto and his dish was pretty much unedible. It was possibly the most bland thing I have every tasted and the risotto was woefully undercooked, crunchy. While you could see it had lots of mushrooms in it, there was absolutely no mushroom flavor. Not sure if that is quality of ingredients or preparation. He asked for salt (so confident are they in their dishes that it is not on the table), but no amount seemed to help.\n\nWarning to those who favor quanitity over quality - the potions sizes are QUITE small here. Half portion really is an appetizer size. And the appetizers really are appetizers. Personally I find this highly refreshing as so many italian restaurants seem to be into serving food for five as a single entree and I hate wasting food.",
"I have eaten lunch here numerous times. The food ranges from good to very good (4.5 stars). Despite the Italian name, this restaurant serves a variety of items, both Italian and otherwise. The restaurant itself is very atmospheric and would be a good place for a romantic meal or a business lunch. Service is generally very good, but occasionally falters (4 stars). Prices are somewhat high, but not out of line for a place this nice.",
"I have only been to the bar, so I cannot comment on the food. The bar is quite impressive though. They have an excellent selection of both beer and wine and the mixed drinks I have had there have been quite good as well. They even make very good mojitos, which you would not necessarily expect from an Italian place, but they do! I was there tonight and the bartender was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the beer selection. That is always a plus in my book!",
"The food was unbelievably good, the presentation first rate,with amazingly fresh herbs, spices and veggitables and the staff very friendly and knowledgable. The portions are smaller and some people may not be used to ordering an entree and sides as opposed to a meal. A salad, entree and side was very filling and the chocolate tort was incredible. We arrived just after 10:00 and the bar area was lively but not loud enough to prevent polite conversation, price point is a little high but this is a must visit establishment at any price.",
"I went here a couple of months ago for a friends birthday however I've been here a few times before and remember it being good. Service was great, the server was accurate, accommodating and relaxed. I also appreciated his witty demeanor... perhaps a moonlighting stand-up? They have a pretty good beer selection of which I chose the Cannon IPA. For my meal I had the Shrimp & Scallops over Lobster Risotto, per the waiters suggestion. What an unbelievable dish! Great taste with several different flavors which all seemed to work well together. The only slight downside was the portion size was a bit on the small side for the price. \n\nThe number of selections on the menu were a not as plentiful as most other places however from what I recall in previous visits, they seem to rotate the entire menu frequently. If that is the case then I feel the limited selections are a plus as it not only allows someone as indecisive as myself make a choice within the hour but encourages you to maybe try something you might not ordinarily and also perhaps intrigue you to come back again to check out the new selections :-)",
"I have never seen a place with such potential fall so short of the mark. I was willing to forgive the extremely slow service for both food and drinks, because our waiter was friendly and kept apologizing for the delay. I was still on the fence when a few of the dishes were confused. Unfortunately, the food was unforgivable. A spaghetti dish that tasted like it was doused in Prego and Cheese Whiz. A pizza that smelled so rancid that my eyes began to water. What drove me to the edge was the shocking excess use of salt in each and every dish we ordered, included (believe it or not) the chocolate cupcakes for dessert. By the end of our dinner, my friends and I were convinced someone was pulling a prank on us. Suffice to say, I would not ever go back there again.",
"The last time I ate at Toscana was 2 years ago when I thought it was good but overpriced. I knew it had been redone recently with smaller plates and smaller prices so when my mom called to to meet for lunch in Wilmington I thought we would try it. I am so happy I gave it another chance! \n\nThe place has been rebranded Piccolina Toscana and it's light and airy and comfortable inside were you can see the pizzettes and pasta being prepared in the open.\n\nMy mom, who rarely drinks, got the white peach cosmo and said it was delicious. She she said it was strong without being overpowering and she even said the maraschino cherry in the bottom was better than most. I got the twin lakes pale ale off of their pretty extensive beer menu which was also good. \n\nNow to the food. As soon as you walk in the place smells of the most delicious garlic. Upon sitting some olive oil and rolls fresh out of the oven with parmesan and garlic were put on the table.\n\n We ordered 2 small plates and a pizza to share. The first small plate we got was the Mezzaluna di Zucca, fresh pasta stuffed with butternut squash and ricotta in a brown butter sauce. It was absolutely amazing! My mom took one bite and said \"I can die now\". The other small plate we got was fettuccine de mare, hand rolled fettuccine with shrimp and scallops in a lemon garlic sauce. The scallops were delicious and the pasta was perfectly cooked.\n\nOne thing I will say about the small plates is that in the two we got they differed greatly in appearance of size. The fettuccine was ample with a small portion that would have been perfect for lunch, but the ravioli looked tiny compared with just 3 little raviolis served. If I were going back and only getting the ravioli I would get the large portion.\n\nThe final thing we got was the di Parma pizette, a personal size pizza with goat cheese, prosciutto and arugla. While it was a tad salty because of the goat cheese and prosciutto it was very good. It would have been perfect with something sweet added, like caramelized onions or figs.\n\nAfter those three plates and the alcohol our total was $43, a great price for the quality of food you are getting. \n\nI highly recommend for lunch and can't wait to go back and try it for dinner.",
"Toscana is a Wilmington institution. Even with the new change to \"Piccolina\" Toscana I was still expecting the same food, service, and atmosphere as the old (but not outdated) standby. \n\nWe went on a Sunday night and had a table for 4 at 6:30. The new design of the restaurant is, well, boring. A big open room, a brick oven area, and that's about it. Minimal decor, minimal atmosphere.\n\nWe were seated and given a special menu, along with an extensive wine list. On the special menu I saw that a buffet was advertised. Um, buffet? At Toscana? Ew. But the rest of the \"special\" menu wasn't appealing- I was very disappointed that I couldn't get my Toscana favorites on a Sunday night. So, we settled on the buffet, but then the waiter decides to imply to our table that Sunday night is leftover night, where they usually try and get rid of what didn't sell during the week. Yum.\n\nA bottle of prosecco was ordered (very good) and we sat and talked and exchanged Christmas gifts. At this point, it's been about 30 minutes since we ordered. Our waiter comes over and tells us we should go eat at the buffet before the food runs out. Swell. It's 7:15. So we get up and eat and the food is ok- oily pasta burning away in chafing dishes, mozz and toppings, Spinach salad, and some other stuff that wasn't memorable. There were some desserts and a cheese and cured meat tray which was also pretty boring.\n\nThen, it's time for coffee. In the middle of pouring a cup, the carafe empties out. The waiter asked us if we wanted more coffee. Um, the cup you're pouring isn't full. Don't ask. Say \"I'll be right back with more\" and go and brew a new pot. Duh. So we say \"please\" and he comes back with a new pot and then tells us there is no sugar.\n\nNo sugar? This is a restaurant. That has been around for a long time. That has sugar. Trust me. What he MEANT to say was that they were out of the little sugar packets. So- put some sugar in a little ramekin and bring it out. \n\nThis meal sucked from start to finish."

"This is my neighborhood Chinese place. It's pretty typical of average local Chinese. I like them mostly because they deliver.\n\nThe chicken dishes are all pretty sold especially the General's Chicken. The Special noodles (not lo mein which isn't so good) is also pretty good. The sichuan dumplings and pot stickers are also good. Finally, the bar-b-q pork is good. \n\nThe egg rolls are never very hot and appear to be cooked up in advance and kept not very warm. And the lo mein just isn't very good. Get the noodles instead.\n\nBut the best part of Hon's Wok is that you can order online at www.honswok.com. The only time they failed to show up was one of the first really cold nights we had and they were very busy. They never called to advise that they wouldn't deliver. Otherwise, they are pretty quick.\n\nEh, you could do worse.",
"Good, solid Chinese restaurant in the Central West End. If you're looking for delivery or takeout in the area, I can strongly recommend this location. The value's excellent; you get pretty solid portions for the price. They also have combination platters for less than $5.00, but I haven't tried one of these yet.\n\nThings Hon's Wok does well: General's Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Lo Mein, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Mu Shu Pork.\n\nThings Hon's Wok doesn't do so well: Beef with Broccoli, Shrimp with Cashews\n\nDelivery is pretty speedy, but remember that the drivers work for tips, only, so feel free to be generous!\n\nAs Don W. says, the online ordering interface is pretty useful, too. Great for parties or big groups because everybody can take their time picking out what they want.",
"Doesn't like it - I've ordered from them once before... had it delivered... they forgot my drink and said, \"Oh, we'll bring next time!\" and then hung up... The food was cold, dried up, and just plain awful.\nThen today I ordered online again only to find that AFTER 1 hour and 25 minutes they don't deliver to my residence. They didn't even have the decency to call and tell me... nor did the company (http://www.allmenus.com/mo/st-louis/17833-hons-wok/menu/) that I ordered it through!!! I called them and reminded that they have in fact delivered to me before and the rude lady started yelling in her language right before hanging up on me.\nI strongly advise you not to eat here!!! You are better off rummaging through the garbage! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!",
"Ordered delivery online from them while staying in a hotel and staying for business. While most nights I enjoy exploring new places, this night I needed to get some writing done and the online ordering was convenient. You should know that when your order online and want to use a credit card they call you after the order to obtain the CC number--no big deal. The delivery was reasonably quick, the food was OK, and the prices are very affordable. MY only issue is that they do not read the information you provide to them online. I was very specific about my location, my need for chop sticks and chili paste, and the fact that I was in a hotel. Despite this, they showed up in the lobby, did not know which room I was in, failed to bring the chop sticks and condiments, and did not bring a spoon for the won ton soup. Still, I would order again.",
"Well, it's not great. It does deliver though so I find myself ordering more often than I would go there. The sauces are all... a little off. The chicken is always a bit, grisly. So far, the only dish that I was really pleased with was the steamed dumplings/wontons. They seem to have figured those out.\nAs some of the other reviewers have said the portions are generous for the fairly low price. Also going for them is the fairly quick delivery. I always call despite the ability to order online; that just scares me. I don't know how or when they'll get the order and what kind of time that might add to delivery. I also don't want to think about who might get my credit card number after them (there are very few internets I trust). \nShort review. I'll add more if I ever venture into the establishment.",
"Nothing fabulous, but they're my local delivery place. Cheap, fast, and not overly greasy is a win in my book as far as take-out is concerned.\n\nThis place is very busy, so obviously they do something right.",
"A nasty little chinese take out place in a strip mall across the street from Barns. Even taking into account the fact that this is fast food chinese, the food is super greasy and not the good kind, its like the greasy kind where you wonder when was the last time they changed the grease in the fryer. Cheap enough, but you get what you pay for.",
"Hon's, I've really wasted a lot of breath standing up for you, especially since the newcomer to the Chinese delivery scene -- West End Wok -- sprung up a few months ago. I've tried convincing my friends that you should remain the go-to place, I really have.\n\nSo that's why it stinks when you take almost an hour and a half to deliver a simple, less than $15 order. If I place my order at 7:30 but it doesn't show up until 9:00, there's a problem. Either you can deliver or you can't.\n\nIt doesn't help that the food wasn't particularly warm or good when it showed up. Sure, I am getting over the flu, so my taste isn't what it normally is, but the sesame chicken I ordered last night was anything but appetizing.\n\nI'm bummed.",
"Here's the deal: Hon's has an awesome online ordering system that lays out all options, combos, coupons, and specials. However, once the order's placed and you're salivating as a result of the smörgåsbord you just perused, you have to turn your attention elsewhere for the next 75 minutes. From the time of ordering to the arrival of the deliveryperson, that's the average wait time. I live 5 minutes from Hon's. If this was the greatest Chinese food outside of the PRC, or even above-average, the delivery time would be excusable, but the food is average at best.",
"Two key notes you should know about this review:\n1. What I thought I ordered for one person ended up being portion size for about 3 people.\n2. I'm sitting in the restaurant now as I write this from my phone attempting to let my stomach settle from all the \"food\" I just ate. I say food with emphasis. \n\nNot sure I would necessarily call it food on a plate as much as I want to call it food in a troth. Seriously, it is so much!!!\n\nPer usual, the Chinese are running the place assuming first generation Americans. What I initially thought was communicated to turned out to be quite different than what I understood. I thought I was getting half a portion of garlic chicken, and a crab ragoon, when in turn I got about a plate and a half of the chicken, another plate of rice, and 4 crab ragoons. Wow. SO much for little amount of money I spent. \n\nSo far for the break down, low prices, huge portions, and lack of communication. I will take the blame for that one because I guess I conveyed something else than what they were telling me. \n\nIf you want to feed yourself and your family on the cheap, this would be good for it. As far as quality, the rice is pretty dry, and the crab ragoon didn't really impress me. The garlic chicken didn't have tons of chicken but more of the veggies in it. \n\nThis place is exactly the rating I gave it. A-OK. Nothing worse, nothing better. For some people, I could see it getting a higher rating for the convenience it has to Barnes-Jewish Hospital settled right beside Subway and a few doors down from the gym. I'd recommend hitting the gym for 2 hours after eating here because your body probably will need it after all the grease and MSG you consumed. \n\nMy last food for thought. If Hon's Wok #1 struck out with me, I do not see myself giving #2 or #3 a chance. Hon's Wok #1 was plenty.\nGood eatings to ya!!"

"Brand new Garces causal restaurant offering Italian and wood fired dishes. Modern, wood and stone interior. Just opened this week and service was efficient, friendly and no hiccups at all. Drinks well made and delicious. Happy hour specials. We had the buratta which was delicious, the wood oven roasted cauliflower with dukkah, the cacio Pepe and rabbit agnolotti. All small plates, tasty, well prepared and presented. Thrilled to have this new Garces spot in our neighborhood and look forward to coming back again soon!",
"This place was so cute, great view of the city.\n\nWe came in around 5:30pm and wanted a booth instead of a table. The hostess, instead of saying \"we have reservations all night\" was pretty rude about not giving us a table. We ended up sitting at the bar, service was great. They have some good specials for Happy Hour. it comes with a mini trio of snacks. Similar to Italy's Aprevito. My friend & I shared the pizza and the burrata, Both were delicious! We'll definitely be back.",
"Really great spot right on the river. Huge bar with plenty of tables. Jose Garces does it again. Located in the same building as his corporate offices, 24 is a nice and simple place for a bite or a drink. There is a private room off of the bar and outside tables on the balcony. Simple pizza dishes and pasta are the mainstay on the menu. Good wine bar, beer selection, and a full cocktail menu as well. While this is an informal spot it also has a nice seductive vibe too. Good spot for an informal date and it is so large, families with little ones don't spoil your dining experience. It is about a 5 minute walk from Fitler Square, 30th Street Station, and maybe 10 from Rittenhouse Square. They also have a very generous happy hour priced menu so go early!",
"I wanted to love this place. I love the location. I love Garces' stuff. I went with another couple and none of our food was very good. The cauliflower and burrata were decent appetizers. The tuna pasta was sent back. I got a salad which was ok and my date got the rabbit dish which was pretty small. Nobody was excited about their food. Will try again but disappointed to say the least....",
"Delicious! We got the roasted cauliflower (amazing) and the calamari to start, followed by the equally excellent Brussel sprouts Caesar, the black pepper spaghetti and the tuna bolognese. Everything was so fantastic and fresh, and our waitress was beyond helpful and friendly. A new place, and a great one. Cannot recommend more.",
"Really disappointed by 24. Way below the standard I expect from Jose Garces. We had the roasted beets, the taleggio polenta, the wood roasted cauliflower, and the eggplant pizza. The cauliflower was the star in an otherwise lackluster meal. The polenta had no taste. The pizza was the biggest disappointment with undercooked, soggy crust. The restaurant has a similar menu as Barbuzzo and Wm. Mulherin's Sons, but does it much much worse. The pizza is much worse than what you can get at Pizzeria Vetri. I would not go back as for the same price, there are many restaurants with much better food. The ambiance of being in an office building is also very odd.",
"Went here for a company Christmas party and loved it! While our menu was limited to what the company selected, I can vouch for the following:\n\n-Roast red peppers w/ goat cheese and pine nuts were amazing, served with garlic bread strips.\n-Toastinis with crab meat and avocado could have been given to me all night and I would have never complained. Wow, amazing dish (I had 4!). I believe they are appetizers (?) or they may simply have been for this specific event. In either way, try them out if you have the opportunity!\n-Pizza I tried: pepperoni (classic, not too much sauce, slightly singed pepperoni which is the proper way to eat it!), Egg pizza with truffle oil sprinkled over top was AMAZING, Margherita pizza was also pretty good, but not my first choice, Four Cheese which was a great lighter option. The pizzas served at our party were smaller and I'm not sure if that's the size they are normally - but if so, they are good either as an appetizer or a personal dinner pizza. They aren't too heavy or overloaded with toppings so you won't leave feeling too full.\n\nAs for the bar - so much room with a few televisions to catch your favorite sports event. Their beer and wine selection is alright at best, I would like to see some more craft specialties since craft beer and artisan pizzas seem to jive so well. This is a full-service bar so there are also cocktails available, a little of something for everybody. \n\nOverall, I'm really excited to head back to this place for a casual dinner. It's an interesting idea because there is a quick order counter but it's also a full-service restaurant. I would imagine in the morning you could run in and grab some breakfast and a coffee and be on your way to work, then come in for happy hour at the spacious bar then transition to a table for a sit down meal. I love the versatility of the space and Garces is usually an great experience. Try this place out!",
"Waited for 42 minutes when we made a 9 o'clock reservation. Not impressed, so we didn't stay. Menu looks good so there is a possibility of giving this place a second chance. But not a big possibility.",
"The four of us had a 9:15 reservation and had to wait 25 minutes for a table. Waiter tried his best but bar and kitchen slowed our service. Cauliflower was fab so was salad and meatballs. Margarita and pepperoni/mushroom pizzas we 2000% to salty. Could not eat either. \nWill go back for a pasta try. Hope this place makes it.",
"I order a pizza from there, it wasn't going to be ready for almost an hour later but I live close by so no biggie. I arrived a little over 10 mins before my ready time and was told it would be ready in just a few mins. I sat and waited and waited and waited. Finally over fifteen minutes after the time I was told it would be ready I approached the counter because another pick up person came in and was immediately handed his meal. I asked if my order was ready and was told not yet they got a little backed up, but then the server sees the pizza box that had obviously been sitting there awhile and says oh here it is! Then hands me a cold congealed pizza that was very small for the price and looked pretty bad. (Note, place was not busy AT ALL).\n\nIt wasn't so much the fact that the pizza was forgotten until I said something, it was that no attempt was made it fix the obvious screw up. Things happen and I am a reasonable person. They could have said sorry we messed up, let us make you a fresh one, or give me my money back or even just apologize. They wasted my time and my money and seemed perfectly ok with sending me away with a subpar product and a subpar experience. Too bad too because I live really close and was hoping it could be a regular spot. Whomp whomp"

"When you want to go out for pizza and a movie, this is the perfect place. It's right before the Regal Marketplace 24 theatre in Oaks, which is why we finally stopped in. The place is pretty basic. It has only 5 or 6 booths and a few small tables hidden. The biggest part of the place is their 2 kitchens. They have an area for sandwiches and then the entire back of the restaurant is their pizza area including a brick oven. \n\nThey offer the basic pizza restaurant stuff, frozen mozzarella sticks, onion rings, all of which is OK. But, the Sicilian Pizza with pepperoni and garlic is delicious! It's a huge rectangular pizza cooked perfectly. Crusty bread but soft to chew. You will have plenty of leftovers if you order this pizza. \n\nThe only downfalls to this place are: it's closed on Monday (which seems to be day I want to eat pizza often) and the wait staff is just OK. You won't feel special about being there, but you will probably be back just the same. For awhile, it looked like they were getting a liquor license but I don't know what happened with that.",
"ah, oaks pizza, i'm in love.\nthe only reason i subtracted a star was that the dining area is tiny, and theres usually a wait to get to a table.\nBUT, the wait is most definitely worth it, \ni LOVE sicilian pizza, and theirs is AWESOME!!!\nthey have many many yummy specialty pizzas [chicken pesto? to die for]\nand their regular pizza slices are nice and crispy thin\noverall, they're definitely worth my 15 minute drive =]",
"Tasty spot for a leisurely lunch.\n\nThis pizzeria is a cinch to find, conveniently near 422. While they don't carry liquor (believe me, I asked), they've a full menu of sandwich and pizza options.\n\nOur server was friendly, and brought us hot and sweet peppers. We shared a healthy-sized Sicilian pizza, made Hawaiian-style - that is, topped with bacon, ham, and pineapple pieces - which I found delightfully crunchy. A smooth tomato sauce rounded off the pizza nicely. It was baked fresh, but worth the wait.\n\nIf you swear like a sailor, you probably should get your pizza to go. Besides area workers, there will probably be a number of families within earshot. Either way, give their pizza a try - and buon appetito!",
"I've worked in the Oaks area from 1998 to the present. Everyone there knows about the Oaks Italian Deli. The food that was once great, is not so good anymore. After eating there for 10 years, I stopped for about a year because I was so dissatisfied with the food there. I recently had lunch (take-out) last week from Oaks Deli and again, was not impressed to come back as a regular customer. Plus, the parking situation is ridiculous during peak restaurant hours. Unfortunately, there's really no room to expand the lot; but the parking has always been a thorn in my side. Anyways, Luigi needs to get this place turned around before he loses more customers.",
"Love the brick oven pizza. Always nice to sit outside in the warmer months on their patio.",
"I live in the area and like to try different pizza shops- this one was ok. It's small inside and doesn't feel that clean to me. The pizza didn't stand out for me (nor the cheese fries we got). The people are decently nice and the service was not slow. \n\nHowever, one warning of caution: we ordered \"water\" and there was something def wrong with it. Just tasted wrong...tasted like the smell of toliet water if that's possible. So we ordered Pepsi and that was that. I have gone back a few times but never to sit down again, just take out pizza and wings. The wings are ok. This place looks like it had a busy past and is now a slowing local place.",
"It's been awhile since we last ate here so we stopped by tonight because 1) we were hungry for pizza and 2) we heard the owners changed and wanted to see if it was still the same. \n\nIt's the same and then again, it's not the same. The place looks exactly the same, but normally it's a lot busier. In fact, we were the only people in the dining room, but their take out business was really busy. \n\nWe ordered our favorite Sicilian pizza ($15) and then got it topped with pepperoni and garlic ($2.20 each). The pizza that came out was way different than before. The sauce was almost nonexistent and had a sweet taste. I also think they were light handed on the cheese. Don't get me wrong, it was a good pizza, just not as great as we remembered",
"Oaks Italian is a pizzeria offering the usual mix of pizza, hot and cold sandwiches (try the Italian pork with provelone) and related items as well as some Italian dishes. The interior is nice, but seating is limited and can become crowded at meal time. Outdoor seating is available, but provides a view of a busy intersection. Service is usually good, and food generally arrives pretty quickly. Prices are average. Occasionally, the small parking lot behind the restaurant will fill, requiring patrons to park across a busy street and walk back.",
"This is one of my favorite pizzeria's in the area. I'm originally from NYC and this is pretty close to a NY pizza slice. Thin crust, just the right amount of sauce and cheese. Delish!",
"I had higher hopes. Maybe my mistake was not ordering pizza. I went with the chicken steak and wasn't thrilled. The first problem was that (you read that right) I ordered chicken steak, not chicken cheese steak. Our server picked up on this to his credit, and I confirmed \"yep no cheese please\". But it came covered in cheese anyway, and of course you know what happens when you send food back, so I ate it. Not only did I not appreciate the cheese, but the chicken was dry and the roll not especially fresh.\n\nAlso, the service was pretty light, and I had trouble getting our server's attention to get a refill of soda.\n\nI'm giving 3 stars b/c I could have just had a sub-par experience and didn't order the best thing. I'll give Oaks Pizzeria the benefit of the doubt and not give it 2 stars, but I don't really feel like going back to test out this theory."

"They make fresh cider donuts. If I can just figure out when to get there to score some fresh out of the fryer i will bump my rating up to five stars.",
"A hidden gem. We come here in the summer to sit on the big comfy rocking chairs looking out over a bucolic setting while we enjoy our delicious ice cream. It is a peaceful way to briing a lazy summer weekend to a close.",
"We stumbled on this place while driving to Northbrook Canoe, which is just down the street, and we vowed to eat lunch there after our tubing jaunt down the Brandywine. Holy cow, what a find!\n\nTheir byline is \"sustainable cuisine,\" and their food certainly shows it. Very fresh food, lovingly prepared, and served with a smile. \n\nWhen you walk in, you're greeted with a sign directing you to either Bakery & Pastries, Ice Cream, Market, BBQ & Deli, and Donuts. What more on this beautiful earth do you need, except maybe coffee? \n\nI came here with a bunch of friends, and we got a whole bunch of things and shared them. BBQ chicken, BBQ brisket, fresh salsa with homemade tortilla chips (do not miss those!), a few whole grain salads, chicken pot pie, and 6 apple cider donuts that were awesome.\n\nThis is home-style cooking, if your mom was an organic foodie farmer. I mean, daaaaamn. \n\nWe finished up our meal with Mexican Cokes (made with deeelicious sugar, not HFCS) and some ice cream, and bought a chicken dinner to go. For $19.99, you get a whole roasted chicken, two sides, and a dessert (donut bread pudding-- NOM NOM NOM *heart attack* NOM NOM *defibrillator* NOM NOM).\n\nSeriously, you cannot go wrong at this place.",
"Atmosphere- I didn't have dinner here, but just grabbed a sandwich and dessert in the marketplace. I was the only one there, so there wasn't really any atmosphere at all.\n\nFood- My tuna hoagie was delicious, but the star of my meal was for sure the peanut butter bars. They were SO good! I wanted to try an apple cider donut, but I came really late in the day, so I was out of luck.\n\nPrice- Pretty average, $9.00 for a hoagie, soda, and the peanut butter bars.\n\nOverall- I liked it, and I will definitely come back to try the donuts on a weekend morning!",
"The greatest find ever. The food is delicious. The owner is very friendly\nIn addition to the following: sustainable cuisine, catering (breakfast, lunch, dinner), pastries, BBQ smoked in Northbrook Market place own smoke house, ice cream, apple cider donuts, Deli, the best Sunday Brunch,thursday family night all you can eat spaghetti, Chef Rob has created a hand cut white corn chip with his own special seasoning. His Chef Table was voted Best of Philly 2009. If you love good food and a friendly family atmosphere this the place for you!",
"Went for brunch today. This used to be a farmstand only with some bakery items. A restaurant was added. The brunch was $14.99 and had both breakfast and lunch items. The mushroom ravioli was so good as well as a fish dish with delicious mashed sweet potatoes. The breakfast items were standard and good. The desserts looked great but I was full! The food is supposed to be local. \n\nThe heat wasnt working and the staff was hit with a flu bug so 5 were missing. The owners were doing it all and all in all did a good job. Definitely try it again.",
"This place is overpriced and the food is awful. We had Chicken Pot pies that were small and dried up. The doughnuts were stale. The place is also in poor condition and disorganized. This was a poor groupon and a waste of money.",
"(4.5) ~ Very Good Apple Cider Donuts & Organic Coffee!;)",
"Great food, from bbq, to baked goods, to ice cream. Worth a visit! Has catering space up-stairs",
"I had been to Northbrook Country Market a few years back and we really loved the food. It's about a 20 minute drive from my house but it's kind of out of the way, so we rarely get to shop there.\nA recent trip had me going past this place and I was really excited to get back to the market. I was there at 9:30 on a Thursday morning. There was no staff to be found. One woman behind the food counters was able to get me doughnuts and some chicken salad.\nWhen I went to the bakery, there was no one there. I made a couple rounds at the merchandise and looked in the bakery case. Finally a woman came out and said she was taking care of it. She was breaking down boxes, doing stock, handling the bakery case and ringing people out. It was a bit ridiculous. Other staff members came in and out of the store, but no one seemed compelled to help out this poor overworked employee. \nMy purchases included: cider doughnuts, chicken salad, hummus, Robritos and a carrot cake. The cider doughnuts were good, but not any better than the cider doughnuts at Highland Orchards. (in fact I think Highland Orchards wins on texture). I had ordered a pound of chicken salad, but the clerk misheard me and gave me a half pound. It turns out she was doing me a favor. The salad had bits of grizzle and bone, the onions were bad. It actually made me gag. Horrible. \nWhen I purchased the carrot cake, the clerk told me how wonderful it was and how people come for miles just to get their carrot cake. I was more than a bit surprised when I went to cut the cake that the knife couldn't cut through the icing. The only word to describe it was \"gummy\". I actually had to puncture the icing. The cake itself was ok but the icing was disgusting. In my house, a small cake might last 2-3 days. Ten days after I purchased this cake, I threw about 1/3 of it away.\nThe Robritos and hummus were ok, but nothing that would make me get in my car and make this trip.\nI have no idea what happened to this place. I have absolutely no desire to go back."

"Decent coffee shop in Graduate Hospital area, which has a dearth of coffee places. Decent cup of iced coffee, although a little pricey at $2.50 for a quite small glass. Weekday morning saw lots of people working on notebooks since they do offer free wi-fi during the week (turned off sat and sun during the day to prevent people from lounging all day on their computers). Friendly staff. Iced coffee was sufficiently strong, although not a fantastic brew -- much improved with milk however. La Va also has a nice selection of sandwiches - made to order and a small selection of breakfast pastries. Seating both inside and along the sidewalk. Worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood, but not necessary to go out of your way to get here.",
"Decent is the word. La Va is really prime real estate for a coffee shop. They have lots of drink selections, a respectable menu, and it's always packed.\n\nI guess my turn-off with La Va would be the fact that there's signs asking customers to leave after 30 minutes. Even when that's needed, I think that's so anti-coffee shop. Equally, the salads are $6, and pretty much salad in a bag, moved to a plastic tray.\n\nTo go, La Va meets its needs. But for as appealing as it is inside, it's just not cozy.",
"La Va has some good selections of pastries and stuff. Apparently the cheesecake is banging. The coffee isn't bad either, although it ain't cheap. The sandwiches are really good and they have some Israeli specialties, including Israeli coffee, which are not to be found everywhere. My problem with ths place is similar to Jake's-- they offer wi-fi but kick you out after a half hour. I understand the logic of this to some degree...I know the old milk a cup of joe for hours routine, but it doesn't lend itself to a comfortable place to work. Which is what I'm looking for in a coffeeshop. I WILL spend cash (I figure overall, it works out to be cheaper than renting an office) but I don't like being rushed.",
"Nice atmosphere, but it's expensive. There are more reasonable places just a few blocks away. \n\nI support time limits on patrons who might be camping out with paperwork or a laptop (don't get me started on that!), but 30 minutes is a bit strict. When I go for coffee with a friend, we usually sit for longer than that.",
"I like La Va for its vintage, laid back atmosphere and tasty treats. Coffee prices are a little on the high end, but I am supposing this is more to cater to the newly gentrified surrounding areas than the regular South Street indie crowd. My husband can't get enough of the Dark Side of the Moon chocolate cake, but I personally am more into the coffee and atmosphere than the chocolaty treats.\n\nLaVa sits at a location still close enough to the small businesses of the area but far away enough that it's not filled with tourists with loud children. I typically see lots of people doing work on their laptops, although I hear they boot you out after a certain amount of modem time, which in a way is both fair and messed up at the same time. \n\nIn general, though, they have a decent selection of food and pasties to tide you over and they're only the second coffee shop I've been in that serves Turkish coffee. So needless to say I'm sold.",
"I was ready to experience Ants Pants Cafe on Friday afternoon only to find out that they closed their doors at 4pm on weekdays (3pm on weekends). Talk about the wotrst coffeehouse/cafe hours ever! Feeling like the coffee gods have smited me I stammered around South Street in search of the nearest house. Fortunatrely this spot wasn't too far away.\n\nLa Va had plenty of my usual coffeehouse requirements in check. good atmosphere with free wi fi and interesting art on the walls. Check! plenty of inexpensive pastry options and a good variety of caffinated options. Check! great music playing. Uber check, especially since listening to Tom Waits version of \"Love Stinks\" made me feel giddy inside. All in all I'd say that it's definitely a spot thats worth adding onto my list.",
"Great cappuccino and other espresso based drinks. Plus good salads, hummus and snack-y foods.\n\nFree wifi and comfy, homey seating. Cute barristas (male & female) and well poured shots of eeeeeeeeeee.\n\nComfortable homey environment. Beats the hell outta fourbucks.\n\nI'm a fan!",
"Just recently visited this place after driving by it many times since it is right around the corner from our house. It is a small quaint coffee/sandwich shop near the graduate hospital area. My friend and I had the chicken panini which had a great taste. We were actually working on our laptops from the shop since they had the free wireless internet. The restaurant was clean and inviting. The only issue we had is when the 2nd shift worker came onto his shift. He seemed dis-interested in what the guest preference were as to music and air conditioning. I understand it isn't always our choice but he turned off the air ( which made it incredibly hot) in the restaurant and then turned up the music which made it entirely too difficult to concentrate on my work I was performing on my laptop. I would definitely give this place another try but if it is steaming hot and loud again at 2p.m. in the afternoon I would have to give it up.",
"Thankfully there are now other coffee options in Southwest Center City (the former Graduate Hospital). LaVa often crowded + with folks almost exclusively on laptops. Good for folks looking for an office outside the office, but not a fun, convivial vibe + a bit stuffy without the level of coffee to back it. And can't say much for the eats.",
"good coffee, friendly staff. does get crowded though, i worked remotely one day and had a stare down with other computer users over the outlets."

"This new Tavern had its soft opening yesterday and it looked like a success. It's located on Channelside, inside you get both a tavern (wood tables and bar) and cool vibe feeling ( blue lights, cool ceiling). The set up inside appears to be small but perhaps it was the tables location centered in the middle of the room for a private party. It was hard to get around without bumping into someone but we all still managed to get through mostly because it was opening night ad everyone wanted to take a peek. They have craft beers and cocktails. The food menu is limited at this time with offerings such as burger, veggies, flatbread and other small items. Hopefully this menu will be updated and in full service soon. There are TVs set around for game watching.",
"Missed the opening night but decided to take a walk down for dinner a beer and football. Was greeted at the bar with a friendly face and presented with a light menu as they are still easing into the full opening soon. It had a large selection of delicious sounding food but as it was my first time I've got to go with burger. The Tavern Burger to be exact. It is a brisket blend patty which has a ton of flavor and the fixings to really kick it up a notch. Was definitely pleased with my choice and can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. A great addition to the channelside district and open early enough if you desire a chill atmosphere and somewhere to enjoy football beer and food.",
"District Tavern just opened a week ago in the Channelside District. The hockey BFF and I decided to go on Christmas Eve, so we were served Complimentary Egg Nog Shots...or shall I say \"I\" ha ha.\n\nThe interior is gorgeous with plenty of seating and tables. There are purse hooks and USB/Electrical Outlets beneath the bar itself so you never have to fear your cell phone battery dying while watching the game or grabbing a bite. \n\nRyan, Josh, and the rest of the staff were very friendly and attentive and you could sense their excitement for District Tavern. \n\nWe tried the Herbed Bean Spread and the Bourbon BBQ Wings, which were both equally good. The full menu debuts this Monday (12/28) and I can't wait to go back any try it. You can view the full menu here: http://www.districttaverntampa.com/#!menu/c21ei\n\nThis bar would be a great place to catch a game or to have a quick bite. If you aren't into sports, grab a barstool by the window which gives you a full view of the Channelside Dog Park!",
"Came here last night with a party of 9. Even though it was 8:30 on a Friday night, we were seated right away, but every table was full after we sat down. My experience was a mixed bag. The good: it's a nice space and a great location, and the atmosphere is lively and energetic. They had Cards Against Humanity on the table, which we ended up playing while we waited for food and had a lot of fun with (who doesn't love Cards Against Humanity?!). Our server was very sweet, even though she seemed a little overwhelmed at times. My husband got the burger and loved it. Someone else ordered wings for the table and they were great. The bad: our table got two orders of fries, and everyone agreed that they were pretty lackluster (I saw someone else review them well- maybe it was a bad night?), 3 of the people in our party who ordered bowls said they were lacking flavor, and my BBQ flatbread was just okay (not bad, but not great). So the food is a little inconsistent. Also, they apparently burned my flatbread at first and so my food didn't come out until everyone else had finished eating their meals. To their credit, however, they sent out a manager who was very nice about it- she took the flatbread off my bill and brought me a free drink while I was waiting. Things like this happen at restaurants, especially new ones, and it's all in how you handle it, so full credit goes to management for dealing with the situation well. Overall, this place definitely has potential, but they seem to be working out some kinks with the kitchen and with their service-- which is pretty normal for a brand-new restaurant. I'll be back when things calm down a bit and will update my review if my experience is different.",
"Great food and atmosphere. The owners were very nice and helpful. Glad this has been added to the neighborhood.",
"This place has a great atmosphere - good music and a decent amount of tvs to watch a game. \n\nFood - The wings were terrible. Super fatty skin and watery sauce. The burgers made up for the wings. My burger was cooked just how I like it and had all the delicious fixings on it! The potato bun was an added bonus to the burger. I opted for slaw over fries which was your typical grocery store slaw. Nothing special. \n\nOverall, I'd definitely come back for happy hour drinks and socializing. I'll give the food another try too, just not the wings.",
"Being able to have a local venue at the House in the Sky, where everyone knows your name, along with excellent food choices and a passion for true customer service...what more can we ask for?",
"Wanted to try out the new place in Channelside, walked in, bartender said sit wherever you like so we sat and waited and waited and waited. No one ever came up to us so we just ended up leaving. I doubt we were missing much from what we saw.\n\nThe only nice thing about the experience was we sat next to the windows which look out to the dog park, hard to be in a bad mood when you see a bunch of dogs running around. \n\nHappy hour was $2 domestics and $5 Tito before 7pm, not that we got to enjoy that...",
"Great location, great atmosphere, great food but only ok service. We've had the same bartender twice (Ryan, I believe - tall guy with a beard) and he acts like he'd rather be anywhere else. One word sentences, slow service, never smiles. We'll be back because it's so close but it definitely detracts from the experience.",
"Location is primo for residents in Skyhouse, the place and other residential buildings in the channel side area. It should seemingly thrive without issues related to ease of access. This place will fail because of their terrible service. I've been there twice with the same results. Food is decent when they aren't out and they actually tell you before hand....servers....the suck."

"The outdoor patio overlooks a dock with shrimp boats and is very quaint. With a name like Zigzag Scallop they better have great scallops AND THEY DO! The service is warm and very friendly. I can't wait to go back.",
"This place has been open for only four days but showed none of the teething pains that a new restaurant frequently does. From the moment of entry, the service was prompt, friendly, and effective. We chose the outdoor seating for dinner and watched the shrimp boats moored nearby get underway for the night's fishing. My wife had a (very lightly) fried scallop appetizer with a tropical salad while I opted for broiled scallops with spinach over a bed of pineapple rice. Both meals were well-prepared and delicious. There's no question that we'll be going back.\n\nScott, the owner, indicated that a couple of boat slips will soon be available for customers who want to come by water.",
"I am sitting here in the warm sun overlooking a quaint dock with shrimp boats lined up ready to go out to the Gulf. Last time here I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were great. My sister got the scallops and they were fantastic (and she is a tough judge on scallops). Today I am trying the pot roast sandwich and sis is getting fried Atlantic Cod. The service here is warm and very friendly. It won't be long before they are packed. They have only been open a week or two!",
"Went to this place for the first time and I am absolutely in love. Zig Zag has a beautiful & clean resort style ambiance with amazing service to match. Best of all, the sea food was fresh and delicious. Great place to eat! If you are in the area I highly recommend it.",
"I went here for a quick dinner and I was pleasantly surprised. This place used to be a restaurant that was kind of sketchy but this is Florida waterfront style, with a big open space and a huge deck out back. you can sit on the water watch the shrimp boats in the sunset, and order your self a plate of shrimp tacos. The shrimp was excellent and coleslaw was too. Shrimp were fresh , like right out of the Gulf of Mexico fresh. I wish this place well they're doing a great job. It's a great place to bring the family or those out of town guests looking for the Florida experience. 5 stars for the atmosphere, remodeling job, and the shrimp",
"Very good new local place! Beachy atmosphere, modest prices, and the food is fresh, good, and presented well, better than I expected in this price range. I am in town on business, and I always like to find the local restaurants. I can go to Chili's or Applebee's anytime. Found this place on Yelp and the reviews were great, especially for a new restaurant (open 2 weeks today). I expect they will do very well.",
"Went there based on recommendation from some one who had been there. Food was great. Servers was friendly. Prices were right. It should do very well. Met one of the partners who was easy to talk and had a good handle on everything. We had shrimp tacos, Grouper, Salmon and scallops. Surprise was a cone of sweet potato fries with 3 dipping sauces. Good starter. Carrot cake was a great finish along with some key lime pie. We will be back soon. \n\nMike C",
"We heard about this place from family who \"winter\" in Florida. We had a party of 11 seated outside on the deck Friday evening. The atmosphere is great, the service was excellent. And the food and drinks (I personally had the shrimp tacos and a Neon margarita) were fantastic. The shrimp was not too breaded. The portion sizes were large. Others had - shrimp scampi, chowder, salads, cheese fins, broiled shrimp, and a variety of drinks. Everyone enjoyed their meals. We hope it does well, and look forward to returning !",
"The place is awesome. The grouper was wonderful.very beachy atmosphere and great service.",
"Hernando beach has another great restaurant! Came here as a date night and had a wonderful experience. No reservation & got a waterfront outdoor table. Beautiful views. Our server and all the staff couldn't have been any nicer. The crab cake appetizer was served with a corn salsa that we devoured. The crab cakes were moist and full of meat (not just breading). I had the shrimp tacos which came with a coconut rice. They were very tasty. My husband had the salmon over mashed potatoes and vegetables. Both of our meals were delicious and very good portions. The prices were unexpectedly reasonable. My only sort of complaint is I'd have preferred the shrimp to be grilled in the tacos & the mashed potatoes were a little salty. But it was really minor. Everything was great and we will definitely go back!!"

"I love their spicy ahi tuna burrito! It deffinately made an impression and every time i'm in the area I must get one! Their mussel app. is also very tasty. I've never been for dinner but lunch is great. Casual-slightly dressy. Good for small groups or families. They also have outdoor seating. This is a very relaxing place to dine. Prices are moderate. Parking can be difficult at times.",
"This place isn't my favorite, but i can walk here, and i do end up here sometimes.\nLast time i was there I got something that came on a skinny little cedar board, I think its supposed to infuse the salmon with a deep rich flavor, or something insane like that.\nwell, it was a nightmare to navigate, and a bunch of some sauce got all over me, and it was all i could do to not loose my mind.\nDon't order the thing that comes on the board.",
"Good restaurants are hard to come by in Ardmore, so I cut Plate some slack. It's a great spot for cocktails and an app, especially in the summer when they open the doors all around the bar area. It's also a good spot for a cocktail during if your shopping the stores at Suburban Square during the holiday season.\n\nIt's a little overpriced for the quality but, like I said, your options are limited in Ardmore and the locals certainly aren't hurting for cash.",
"Took my mom out to dinner in the burbs. Ardmore has a few decent places to dine, and Plate seems to be an addition to these.\n\nIt's not hard to find at all. It's in Suburban Square, so there is lots of parking usually. \n\nNot a bad looking place. Lots of seating inside and a few outdoor tables as well. Nice looking bar. It's a nice touch that you can see the stone oven being used near the kitchen.\n\nWe had calamari and vegetable ratatouille for appetizers. Mom really like the ratatouille, which came with pita bread. My calamari was decent, not the best but it was good. It had a topping of shredded cabbage and carrots, which I didn't really care for. Both appetizers were huge. Rather filling for two people. So maybe one appetizer to share would have been enough.\n\nThe drink menu was pretty standard. Beer and wine to choose from.\n\nFor the entree, I had the fish special which for the day was a soft shell crab with black sticky rice, and some sorta sauce I couldn't quite remember what it was. This was just O-K. The rice was atrocious. Absolutely flavorless. I didn't know what concept they were going for, but that whatever it was, it wasn't achieved.\n\nMom had cilantro ginger ahi tuna, with the same sticky rice. Lets not even mention the rice, it's been covered. However the tuna was excellent she said. Nice flavors and not overly done.\n\nService was great. The waiters and servers were very pleasant and helpful with menu suggestions. \n\nOverall the meal was decent for the area. However for the price, I would have to say it was way overpriced.",
"Considering the dearth of quality restaurants in Ardmore, Plate is pretty solid. It's a typical main-line restaurant: decor that is trying way too hard to be upscale, over-priced food and drinks, and clientele that has way too much money. However, for what it's worth, the food at Plate is actually pretty good. I mean, it's nothing that's going to rock your world or make you rethink how food should be cooked, but it certainly gets the job done. The service is also solid--the food usually comes out rather quickly and they always make sure that your water glass is filled. Overall, I would definitely recommend that you stop by Plate for lunch or dinner if you're in the area--I mean, it isn't like you have much else to choose from.",
"We were in the area and thought we'd give Plate a try. First, it was a bit overpriced for lunch - but then again it was Ardmore :)\n\nMy husband had a burger and devoured it. Our friends also cleared their plates. I had a soup and side dish and would have loved to clear my plates, but it was just too much food. \n\nOur waitress was friendly and prompt, the food was delicious and came in a reasonable amount of time and we were all very pleased.\n\nI think I'd like to return to Plate for a dinner one night to see what's different on the dinner menu and so that I don't feel so guilty about spending too much money.",
"me and my girlfriend went for brunch.\n\nI'm sorry. We ran out of eggs....ahhhh ok.\nI'm sorry. Did you want to eat the food you ordered 45 minutes ago? My fault. Let me get you your cold food.\n\nThe manager was nice enough to knock $5 off the bill. \n\nThe plate is broken.",
"Was looking forward to trying Plate since I was in the area visiting the Ardmore farmer's market.\n\nUnfortunately, we did not have a great experience. The service was just OK, but when the food arrived, my Asian Chicken salad looked appealing but upon closer examination, it was clear the romaine lettuce had not been washed as all the dirt was still in there. We brought this to the attention of the waitress and asked her to notify the kitchen so that they do not make people sick. No idea if she did or not, there was no acknowledgment of that fact via the management or on the bill.\n\nThe \"onion shoestrings\" we ordered were soggy almost as soon as they came out of the kitchen.\n\nWill not be going back until I hear of improvements being made.",
"the menu is limited. yes, i understand that the food is \"made to order\" and any item on the menu can be adjusted, but what kind of restaurant doesn't have anything vegetarian on the menu (with the exception of appetizers)? and for how expensive the dinner ended up being, i simply expect more!\n\nthe service was good though and the food wasn't baaad, it was just (as yelp describes it) \"a-ok.\"",
"Plate is not extremely overpriced, but its certainly not a value by any means. If you're shopping in Suburban Square, and feeling lazy, its not a bad option. However; I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at Plate. \n\nThe service can be unreliable, and the food is a mixed bag. The execution just seems to be off with the seemingly random mix of menu items."

"Omg this place is fantastic..\n\nI just love there chicken and the shakes are delicious\n\nThis location is still working out the bugs but when it's all fixed they will be a well oiled machine",
"Not sure where Shawn V ate, but it was not at this location. They are still building out. \n\nWe tried the one on S Dale Mabry a couple of weeks ago and it was super.",
"From the moment you walk in, the staff is hands down one of the most friendly I've experienced at a restaurant in a long time! Everything is clean, the food comes out before you even get seated, and the staff wander the dining area to ensure you have all you need. \n\nI had the grilled chicken salad and it ROCKED! It's better than most fancy restaurant's salads! \n\nIcing on the cake? They show love to their local firemen. I mentioned to the waiter I was headed to the fire station to visit my hibs afterward and he returned shortly after w/ chicken sandwiches, fries, cookies, and waters for thos whole station! Those firemen tore it up and loved every bite! \n\nWell done PDQ! We will definitely be back!",
"Amazing food,Great staff ! We went for grand opening the line moved very fast, they were very organized!",
"again this place is really good .. the staff did an excellent job moving the line and the tenders are delicious... dont forget to try the hand spun shakes",
"Food was amazing and delicious. Holy cow the fries are off the charts good. Service is excellent. Ambience is great. Homemade sauces are top notch. The list goes on here. This place is definitely in a league of it's own and we are so happy a new one popped up right down the road. Rest assured we will be regular attenders here!! If you haven't tried it yet you are totally missing out. This place will be a big winner in it's new location in south Riverview. \n\nWe were apart of the \"training week\" preview and they actually gave the food out for free!! Talk about a company that knows how to win over a customer base. That little bit of generosity goes a long way, my family will be spending money there for years to come!!",
"Everyone was very . But because it is a new establishment the lines were very long and it was a little hectic. But overall the food is very good. The salads are fresh. And the chicken tenders are to die for. This will definitely be one of my frequent stops.",
"I've been asking for a Chic Fila to be built in Riverview for a long time but boy am I happy that we got a PDQ instead. The food has seasoning and flavor, fries are salted and hot, and the hand made sauces are great. My hubby and I share tenders and fries and the crispy chicken sandwich, I recommend both. Everyone was extremely friendly and the service is great and fast. I was extremely impressed how fast it was considering it was opening week and they had a line out the door. I'm gonna nickname it \"Pretty Damn Quick\". I hope that the service and quality of food stays up there after they establish themselves as a restaurant in our area.",
"PDQ it's awesome the staffs are very friendly the food wow. I love the turkey breast because it comes with cranberry.",
"I'm torn on this one. PDQ's was packed when I took my grandsons for lunch there today. I was waited on quite quickly, but then there was at least a 15- 20 minute wait for the food, which is not great when you are there to feed 2 hungry 4 year olds.\n\n3 piece chicken finger lunch was $7.29. It came with fries. Yup, just fries. And they were shoestring fries, which I am not a great fan of because they get cold so darn fast. But these are fresh, not frozen, so that's plus. Chicken pieces were large, tender and juicy. Quite good. Service was excellent. I loved the fact that staff was on the floor getting you any extras you may need. And they have coke products,, hurray!! Kids meal was 2 pieces of chicken & fries with a small drink or a box of Yoohoo for $3.99. Could have only gotten one to split for the twins because the portions were generous. BBQ sauce and honey mustard was quite good. (They make their own sauces). All in all good food, but not a complete meal like Zaxby's gives, so seemed a bit skimpy to me. For about $1 less Zaxby's give you about 5 pieces of chicken, fries, coleslaw and a slice of toasted Texas toast. \n\nThe restaurant itself is very nice, very contemporary. Nice out door seating with cool mist, indoor seating was scant I felt for the size of the place. As someone there with little ones, I did not like that tall bar type tables were all around the ordering and pick up area. It blocked your view of your seat when your name was called to go pick up your order. So you have to grab your purse, grab your kids and go up to get the food (not wanting to leave 4 year olds alone, even for a few minutes). Now you take a chance at losing your seat. But I realize this is a new place, some kinks need to be worked out. Just a heads up for management as to the inconvenience for moms & grandmoms. \n\nI will definitely be back, hubby will want to try for sure. Food was very good. Nice to have a place like this in Riverview."

"Frank's recently opened and we love it! We are trying the pizza tonight, but, we have had dinners and sandwiches here, and everything has been outstanding! The spinach sauté is awesome, and the veal picatta was also very good. If you are in the area, check out this new pizza and more place. You will not be disappointed!",
"Frank's Pizza & Restaurant is sort of hidden off Keene Rd. on Virginia St., in Dunedin. We are always looking for some good Italian food. I was happy to see that they have a lot of booths to choose from and that's a good thing. The big picture windows give the whole place a nice uplifting feel. \n\nWe were there for pizza and pizza we got. They have an extensive menu of all sorts of Italian dishes, though. We ordered the Frank's Combo Pizza which has pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, sliced meatballs, onions and freshly sauteed mushrooms. We ordered the largest size, not knowing if there would be enough goodies on the pizza and OMG, it was loaded with toppings(see pics). The crust was tasty, thin and crispy and it held up nicely with the weight of all of the toppings. It did not sag when the slices were raised to mouth. The cheese and sauce had a wonderful flavor, too. \n\nThe whole atmosphere was friendly and relaxed. The owners inquired about how we enjoyed our food. We were pleasantly surprised as to how delicious their pizza was and what a great experience we had. We are anxious to work our way through the menu. Please, stop by Frank's, you can't go wrong! (Also, see this review on Franks Pizza - Moved on Yelp)",
"I had a stromboli hankering and found this new place within minutes of the house.\n\nThe decor and inside isn't very fancy but functional. I like the bar for waiting while my order was prepared. I was even offered a complimentary beer while I waited!\n\nThe pizzas leaving the restaurant looked huge. They have two sizes - 16\" and 18\" for cheaper than those chain restaurants. And they offer free delivery within 6 miles. \n\nThe stromboli was good, though the dough was a bit chewy by the time I got it home. Probably because of some of my ingredients (tomatoes) soaking in. Flavor was good though. Sauce had a mild flavor. \n\nAll in all I'd definitely give this place another go, if just to try the pizzas they were turning out.",
"Serious pizza competition with Mario's in the Clearwater Mall on Gulf to Bay. They're mozz cheese is the real deal, you know it's fresh. Good coupons on their website. Pizza doesn't flop over when you pick if up. Nothing fancy inside the restaurant but it is clean. Good to know I don't have to drive out to gulf to bay anymore for great NY style pizza. **Update** Have ordered twice since last post (yes we eat a lot of pizza), the quality since our first encounter with Frank's has deteriorated. I can't speak for the sandwiches but the pizza has been lacking. I don't know if the pizza chefs have changed or if it's just been a fluke. Will order again a month from now. Maybe just working out the kinks of a new location or new chef? *fingers crossed*",
"We've been wanting to try this place for awhile so decide to give them a try. I looked on the website for specials and a menu. We were going to have delivery but it was over an hour so decided to pick it up. I mentioned a special they have online for buy 1 get one 50% off. He gave me a total and said it would be 35 minutes. We were actually on the way when they called asking why we hadn't picked up the pizza yet. It had been 30 minutes. When I got there the girl was so preoccupied with the servers trying to check their tips that I still had to wait. Then the total was different. I asked about it and she said she can't honor the online special unless I print the specials page from the site. It's their site and it only says mention special when ordering. I should if left and told them to keep it but I did not. So we get home and the pizza was just ok. Not terrible but I was glad I had done seasonings and pepper packets to make it taste better at home. Really for the customer service they have and the just ok pizza I would say go to another pizza place. There are so many pizza places in that area and this one isn't worth your time.",
"What a great find! We had the chicken parmesan it was excellent . Salad was fantastic and they have dollar fifty drafts. We met the owner Frank he was so friendly and Jilly waitress got everything right. We mentioned the lighting was a little bright & turned it down right away. We brought our neighbors with us and we will definitely be back!!",
"Great food and friendly staff! As close to NY pizza as can be here in Fla! Sauce is great and the doe is as well!",
"OK, honestly, I love the food at Franks. We live in the neighborhood right next door and it is convenient to just pop over there for some food when I don't feel like cooking. Their salads are fresh, the cheese is homemade, the pizza and the calzones are the real deal. However, the downfall of Franks is the service. It's awful. I went alone last week during dinner time. It wasn't that busy and the guy at the bar told me to sit anywhere. I sat there for 15 minutes and not once did someone come over and ask if I had been served or asked for a drink order, etc... I finally caught the attention of another waitress (I am from the restaurant business and I knew she knew I was not being served and she never came over to help because, I could tell, it was \"not her station\" and she never bothered to get my waitress to pay attention to me) and she finally got things rolling for me. Today, Saturday, my family and I decided we wanted to pop over to Franks for lunch. We came in and one half of the restaurant was busy with a large group. They were a local softball team fresh off a win and they were brimming with excitement so a lot of the restaurants attention was on them. My family and I sat there, again, for 15 minutes and not once did anyone say \"hi\" or tell us they would be right with us or bring us menus or anything. We were absolutely and completely ignored. We were the ONLY people sitting in the not busy side of the restaurant so we were hard to miss. We actually got up and left. We tried a restaurant up the street and had some of the best food we have ever had (Petes!). So, I hope Franks gets it together. Another restaurant was at the same location and our neighborhood was excited about them as well but the service was similar and then everyone stopped going to it. If Franks keeps going in this direction I predict the same. It's not hard to train your staff to say hi to new customers, get them waters and menus while you still pay attention to your customers whose food is being served. That's restaurant 101 stuff.",
"The WORST delivery service ever.\n\nI have ordered delivery from Franks 3 times previously. Each time was different. \n\n1st time: On the advice of a co-worker we thought we would try a new pizza place. Near perfect. Order taker on the phone was polite, courteous and accurate. Food arrived with a smile in a timely fashion and was hot. Everything looked, smelled and tasted great. Homerun!! Great addition to the neighborhood.\n\n2nd time: Not as good, not bad but just not the same experience. The pizza seemed to take quite a while. When it arrived it was warm...not hot.\n\n3rd time: I asked if they would honor a coupon for delivery that did not have any restrictions printed on it. I was told no. Fine, I ordered pizza and wings as usual anyways. Just shy of an hour later they arrive. The pizza was fine, again warm, not hot. But the wings were terrible!! They were not tossed in sauce at all. It was as if the wings were placed in a box and they just squirted sauce on them. Terrible!!!\n\n4th time: This one takes the cake.\nI call and a young woman answers, not to be mean but this girl was priceless!\nAfter literally spelling everything out letter by letter, and answering yes when asked if one of the items I was ordering was in fact a pizza, I had an ominous feeling. I was told delivery would be 35-45 minutes.\nAfter waiting 1 hour I called back. I was told that indeed my order had left the restaurant and I should have it shortly.\nAnother half hour passes...It has been an hour and a half since I ordered.\nI call again. Explain what has been happening and I am told they will call they driver. I can here the lady on the phone talking to the driver. He claims he doesn't know what order I am asking about but can he have my phone number because he cant find my house!!! Is this for real??? \nUnreal! I told the lady on the phone to just forget about it as I no longer want a pizza that has been sitting in the back of a halfwits car for an hour.\nShe says \"sorry\" that's it!!!\nI have seen some shitty service before but this takes the cake!!!\nWORST EVER!!!!",
"Looking for a delicious lunch? Franks was perfect today. Food great, I especially liked the mild and flavorful marinara sauce. The hot sandwich was huge, cheap tap beer and free refills topped off with wonderful service and light bright clean and cheerful atmosphere. I can't think of anything to add except perhaps gluten free options? Highly recommend for lunch!"

"We went here with some friends for dinner, service was great. The turtle soup was much milder than I expected, the lobster salad was very good only would have been better with a little more seasoning, The prime Rib eye I ordered came out as a New York, and the server noticed that and replaced it quickly, the steak was over seasoned, the hash browns and creamed spinach were excellent as was the Prime Filet, overall great quality food was used. The wine list is very big and offers a lot of wine you don't always see, and maybe can't afford. The room is quite comfortable a great addition to Bourbon Street",
"I don't usually go to Bourbon Street, but when I do, I'll think of Galatoire's 33. I was glad to get to check out the place after seeing in under renovation for so long. They did a great job; the place has a traditional New Orleans feel without being stuffy. The happy hour drinks were good, potent, and well priced.",
"Dare I say I actually enjoyed this side of Galatoire's better than the original! Of course the original is a classic, but 33 is really rocking and refreshing! We came here before seeing a show at the Saenger and they had a great theatre pre-fixe menu. YOU MUST TRY THE CRAB CAKE!!!!! It's literally a mound of fresh crab and is one of the best I have ever had. I had the quail stuffed with boudin. It was perfect and they did not cheat me out of stuffing. Very moist. My sister had te fish which was seasoned perfectly and had a great sauce. The desserts were okay nothing to\nwrite home about. The back waiter Jeff was more of a help then our main waiter! I don't even remember his name! And there was an older gentleman who was waiting tables too who was a great help. I will return soon to try the steaks!",
"Shoot! What is a girl to say? On a rainy, balmy Sunday I decided to head to N.O. My Gallie's charge had a credit on it. But I was not quite up to the antics that the real Galatoire's has post-Mass on Sundays.\n\nGuess what? My charge works next door and it is quite quiet and different. If I had to guess you can order anything you want because surely the restaurants share a kitchen.\n\nSo, let us start with the by-the-glass wine list. Quite impressive! The atmosphere is up-scale sportsy with football on the tellies yet soft wood and glass around.\n\nService: As excellent as you can expect. Thank you.\n\nFood: I am all about the crab at Galatoire's and was not disappointed. The Maison is excellent and I had the souffled potatoes (not on the menu but presented as if they they were) because the only way to east the crab is stuffed in one of these delightful little envelopes. Order anything with capers!\n \n Bread. Eat it; ask for it if it is not given. Yummers.\n\n Cafe Brulot: Presentation has been lost, but it tastes the same. If you want an \n after-meal happy buzz like you are on a private island, it is a must-have.",
"On Dec. 26, my wife and I had 6PM reservations at this restaurant... supposedly a more casual version of the mother restaurant, Galatoire's, right next door. We had intended to have take part in their Reveillon special... a fixed menu that many New Orleans restaurants run from Dec. 1st - 31st... we were pretty much dressed business casual... but I did have on black jeans... there is no dress code there, but we looked pretty good. My guess is the awful waitress thought we were tourists (we live less than 4 blocks away from the restaurant) and for some reason, she didn't want her table taken up by us... even though the place was pretty empty at the time... this witch of a waitress flat out lied to us, saying that Reveillon had ended on Christmas at their and all of the other restaurants... we were quite mystified but accepted it and left... ended up eating sushi at at little place on Decatur. \n\nAnyway, while planning our New Year's Eve, I had been looking through Nola.com and discovered that Reveillon was indeed still going at not only Galatoire's 33, but all the other restaurants. This despicable waitress (I wish I could remember her name) at this over-priced restaurant deserves to have its business go in the take... the laughable kicker in the whole situation... my wife is a best selling travel author (numerous travel guides to her name, including a best selling New Orleans guide for Moon Handbooks). Don't give you business to this snobby, greedy restaurant or its mother restaurant... don't support anyone that would lie to customers simply to keep their tables open for someone who would pay their high prices vs going with the fixed meal price of Reveillon... pathetic!",
"One of the best steaks I have ever had in my life - no joke. It was crusted in pepper and sea salt, cooked to perfection. Me and the mister had dinner here the evening before New Year's Eve and we couldn't have been happier. The service was top notch and the food was excellent. He ordered the fish of the day, which was served in a lemon butter glaze. We shared the brussel sprouts as a side, which were sauteed and carmelized. I would recommend this place as a nice place to have a dinner without being in a larger scale steakhouse. There aren't many tables, but the dining room is very nice.",
"First time here. Bar and dining area are nicely-decorated and rich in appearance. Staff were attentive and service was very good. My 7-ounce filet was cooked perfectly (med. rare) and delicious. Also had two sides: Creamed spinach, and sauteed mushrooms, the latter of which was an excellent dish. My wife's grilled lemon fish, however, was a disappointment: Served luke warm, not properly cooked, a little \"fishy,\" and complete with bones. She could not finish it. As a courtesy, we mentioned this to the server, thinking the cook might want to know. Our meal, with two glasses of wine, was around $120 with tip. We'll go back, but won't order fish again.",
"I first tried this place for dinner for a Reveillon dinner this past Christmas. I was very happy with the whole meal, and in typical Galatoire's fashion, the service was impeccable. I've been in several times to just have drinks at the bar. It's a very nice bar and the bar menu has some good choices as well.",
"It is such a rare experience that $400 meal was a great value but I really think this place exceeded my expectations. The cocktails were very good (I had my sazerac on the rocks). It was the best crab cake I can remember having with 96% crabmeat. The lobster Thermidor was worth the $54. The ribeye and filet were probably the best I can also remember having. Probably the most tender steaks ever. The wet age (not dry) their beef 28 days and supposedly source it from a particular family. Chicory coffee and sambuca (3 beans) were as expected. The service from the waterboy to the busboy to the manager to our waiter was stellar. As you can tell our server was fantastically informative and deserved every bit of his $68 tip. My only regret is I didn't try to bisque.",
"Steak house di buon livello.\nAnche l'ambiente è molto carino e curato.\nLa carne era ottima (anche se inferiore a quella di Ruth Chris).\nIl posto però era molto affollato e confusionario. impossibile parlare se non con il proprio vicino.\nServizio deludente. In America c'è sempre la tendenza ad avere diversi camerieri per fare quello che da noi in Italia fa una persona sola.\nLa cosa potrebbe anche essere positiva se funzionasse bene! Invece qui hanno girato a vuoto tutta sera servendoci molto male (hanno sbagliato tutte le cotture) e mettendoci un sacco di tempo.\nAlla fine conto di 90$ a persona per bistecca e contorno. \nDirei accettabile. Peccato davvero la confusione ed il servizio!"

"MmmmmmMmmm. You can find a philly cheesesteak at almost every corner in the city but it's nearly impossible to find a place that sells really good italian sausage sandwiches and italian roast beef. George's Sandwich Shop is located right in the Italian Market area. Order an italian sausage sandwich and you have a choice of sweet, hot, or *burn my ass* peppers.. The sandwiches here are enormous and very satisfying. They also have tripe sandwiches, hot dogs, crab cake sandwiches. Funny quote discovered here: \"Don't divorce your wife if she can't cook...eat here and keep her as a pet.\" :)",
"For a long time, I didn't know the name of this place. We just called it the \"sandwiches you will like place,\" because a hand-lettered sign in the window read \"We have sandwiches YOU will LIKE.\" As it turns out, that sign was true. After a recent remodel, the sign disappeared but thankfully, the sandwiches you will like did not. George's cheesesteaks are better than his better-known brethren to the south (that'd be Pat's and Geno's for you geographically challenged Yelpers) but the real sensation at this little hole in the wall is the roast pork and provolone. Unless you're Jewish or vegetarian, you need to eat one of these. Grab a handfull of napkins though--they're juicy.",
"The Roast Pork sandwiches are on point. That is to say, there's a ton of porchetta on there and plenty of juice. All the appropriate fixins are available: broccoli rabe, fried long hots, provolone. And to top it off the guy hands it to you through a window. Just something about sandwiches that get passed through windows. Delicious!",
"they definately deserve every star on here, georges ,located right next to lorenzos pizza ( the one thats good even if its not 3 in the morning) has the best roast pork sandwich on 9th street and ive had 'em all. however the things to try are the spicy bbq veal, w/ long hots(my fave) or the tripe sandwich, if you, like me have ever woken up hungover, this and a mexican coca cola are all that you need my friend. and its worth mentioning that the hot dog here for some reason tastes better because its cooked on that huge flat stove. GOD DAMN i could eat 9 of those dawgs. it also happens to be pretty cheap. if i can sound snooty for one second, the only thing that makes the veal sandwich better is a lil sea salt, trust me.",
"My dad took me here for my some of my very first street food back in the late '80s when I was but a little kid. We'd always get the Italian sausage sandwich, and it was always a revelatory experience. It was then that I learned that a fat scary-lookin' guy in a ponytail in a dirty hole-in-the-wall where you get served through a window and you eat off a trashcan outside is DAMN FINE DINING. Get a sausage sandwich here on one of their great rolls with red sauce and long hots. The menu says you can get it mild, hot, or \"burn my ass hot.\" If you're up for it, go for the latter. You won't (or maybe will) be sorry.\n\nI only recently tried the porchetta sandwich here, and it may even be better than the sausage. Of note: I actually gave this place 10 stars but Yelp cut off the last five.",
"Having been born and raised in Philadelphia, I have spent my share of time in the Italian Market area, first shopping with my mother and then for my family. My first memories of this shop was eating a pork sandwich while waiting for the bus to go back home. It was exquisite then and still is today. This was over 40 years ago. The pork is tender and sweet, on a crusty Italian roll. It is not over-spiced like others just with basic pork juice goodness. A little black pepper and mustard with sharp provolone cheese makes this a must sandwich to have. While the cheesesteaks are good, a pork sandwich like this defines the essence of Philadelphia, a gastronomic experience not to be missed.",
"Awesome sandwichs. I have eaten everything they have to offer. Suprisingly have never been let down. Watch out for the long hots, they will sneek up on you.",
"Best Philly non-cheesesteak sandwiches around. Forget trekking all the way to Tony Luke's, George's will not disappoint! \n\nMeatballs, sausage & peppers, roast pork: everything is made with the best local ingredients, service is immediate, prices are cheap. \n\nFor cheesesteaks, you still want to hit one of the many other nearby joints specializing in same, but for any other South Philly-style street sandwich you should look no further.",
"Though not my favorite cheesesteak in this city, it probably makes a close second. This being slightly cheaper and in a less seedy neighborhood. The rolls were both crunchy and chewy, and there were a few veins of juice streaming down my arms as I ate. It is a very solid place despite its size. I found myself finishing my drink first just so the taste of the steak would linger a while longer.",
"Oh, pork juice, all over my hands. So juicy, so tasty, so pork-n-provolone. Is that a little bit of garlicky awesome broth? Yeah, I'll be back after last week's experiment."

"So naturally a new food option opens within walking distance and we must check it out. We ordered 2 salads - the Endless Summer and Granny Gorgonzola and added chicken to both. Salads were small in portions for price but made with healthy and fresh ingredients. We also ordered the Steak Dijon wrap which looked more like a spinach wrap minus the steak with extra Greek yogurt and Dijon. It was a definite miss from description and menu picture. \n\nFor $31 I was expecting much more than what was delivered and won't be putting this on the list to dine again.",
"As the name implies there is a variety of fresh made with fresh ingredients options available.\nEnvironment: The space is limited but the environment has a earthy & fresh feel to it with the wood work & fresh herb pots everywhere.\nFood: Soups, salads & wraps is how it goes for the most part. I did not care for the soup I ordered as it just wasn't flavorful. There is room for improvement there. The salads however are made with crispy, fresh & delicious material. The salad dressings are delicious and I love the herb dressing!! I like my wraps and sandwiches with lots of veggies and I found the pesto chicken delicious. \nService: The girl behind the counter was rude and had an attitude at a simple question. Which I found unacceptable for a place that just opened!!! As a business you don't want your neighbors to avoid coming in because of unpleasant employees, that's how you go under. Hope they can improve that upon our next visit or well.. \n\nLooking forward to trying more options off their menu.",
"So glad they opened another location closer to South Tampa! I haven eaten at SoFresh many times and always enjoy my meals. Great option if you are trying to eat a healthy meal for lunch and do not want to feel tired afterwards. Definitely recommend checking this place out. Very friendly staff and really good atmosphere.",
"Wow this place was AMAZING! Such a great variety of food, and so many fresh and healthy options. Not only was the food great but the service was incredible. My food came out quickly and the employees were all super friendly. Definitely place I will keep going!",
"Just saw this spot open up on Howard. Finally a salad option in South Tampa that isn't Crispers or Chipotle / hold the rice. I went with the Healthy Harvest with chicken - everything was fresh and the dressing was on point. Glad to have a new consistent go-to in the neighborhood.",
"Yum! Had the skinny dipper and the tomato soup. I am so glad this place opened! I usually drive far to find something similar. It's amazing how difficult it can be to find something healthy, quick and appetizing.\n\nFood was great, and service was good. For being open less than a week, I am very impressed. I will definitely be back to try more :)",
"This place is awesome. Had the Tuna Poke bowl and it was delicious, healthy, and the perfect amount of food. My buddy had the BBQ chicken bowl and that was tasty as well. Great vibe down in SoHo and perfect place for a power lunch. Seems to attract some great scenery in there as well ; )",
"Would highly recommend to anybody looking for quick, wholesome meal with great atmosphere. Have you near multiple times at the USF location and now I am so glad they opened up another location closer to my office. Will be back again and again.",
"Holy cow, I just ordered from this place on a whim given the positive reviews and I am so impressed! Delicious, healthy and fast! My only complaint is that I wish it was here earlier!",
"There is so much to choose from. So far everything that I have tried is amazing. I will definitely be adding this to my regular lunch spots."

"This location has been open for about two weeks and are struggling, expectedly. We waited an hour before asking about our food as others were almost finished with theirs who came in after us. Waitress arrived with more food, said it wasn't ours and that they are working on it. We left without tasting the food.\n\nWe did however make a few other notes:\n\n*salsa was well seasoned\n*chips were store bought quality \n*margaritas were bland\n*lighting was poor\n\nHopefully they will make a rebound. With three other Mexican themed restaurants and one just outside of town, we will get by.",
"Good food poor service. Hope it gets better. Only opened a week. New staff. I really hope it improves",
"Slow service and the food was just ok. Chips seemed stale and out of a bag. Salsa bland. Not much chicken on the fajitas. Perhaps we got them on a bad day.",
"Dropped by for a late dinner. Service was fast, dinner was fresh, hot and yummy, and the margaritas were great!",
"My husband and I stopped by in the 4th to try a margarita and grab a bite. We did come late after, in a holiday but they were pretty busy none the less. Our margarita s were great. I could taste the tequila!! Chips and salsa tasty as well. Both of us enjoyed our food and the service was fast and friendly. We were asked how our food was and how we liked the service when we payed the bill. Obviously, they were aware that they had some difficulties when they first opened and said they were working hard to improve any kinks. We were very happy and will be back especially as it is walking distance from our home :)",
"First off it is amazing what they did with the space where the old bar used to be. It is bright and clean in here. Love the decor. I had read on our local town chatter site service was a bit slow but I expect bumps w new places. We came in and were seated right away. Brought chips and salsa. I was impressed w the margarita selections and asked if I could get a half strawberry half banana. No problem. She came back w free cheese dip and said the bar was backed up. \nShe even upgraded my husband to a large beer. \n\nWe ordered our dinner I had the shrimp salad my husband the chicken chimichanga. The food did take a bit to come out but when it did it was great. Hot fresh. \n\nThe menu is your basic Mexican restaurant food. I would come back for the guac and margaritas. And the cleanliness.",
"I hate giving this such a low rating. We've dined here three times and each time it has taken way to long to get our food to the table after placing the order. I have had to ask how much longer will it be each time we visited. Food is good and so are the drinks. But no one wants to wait for their food a long time. I questioned if they had enough cooks. Not sure what the issue is but that definitely needs to be corrected. It can effect business.",
"The food was pretty good. The corn tortillas were too tough and the queso was bland, but the arroz con pollo was delicious. My husband liked his tropical burrito as well.\n\nOur server left a lot to be desired. I ordered a pineapple margarita and it was WAY too strong (it was just blended pineapple and a ton of tequila, no sweet & sour). I told the waiter and asked for a lime margarita instead but he said he wanted to just remake the pineapple one so I reluctantly agreed. He brought it back and he must have just added lime juice, so I asked him for a Modelo Especial instead. He brought back a can... which would have been alright if they didn't have it ON DRAFT. I don't know why that rubs me the wrong way, but it does.\n\nMy husband ordered a blue Long Island iced tea and it was equally disgusting. At first he tried ordering the Dogfishead IPA but the waiter said they didn't have it. My husband was pissed when he discovered later on that they had Daredevil Liftoff IPA on tap. I think maybe the waiter should rethink his profession if he has no interest in satisfying his customers ",
"Having lunch with a friend is always a good time, however, when you have a great drink, good food and a nice atmosphere it's even better! Visited this place for lunch today. I ordered the flautas off the lunch menu. Good price for decent food. I'm from San Antonio so I am used to our outstanding flavorful Mexican dishes. (I'm sorry Indiana but nothing compares!) With that said, i have to say I had no complaints on my tasty dish here. It was not the best Mexican food I've had but it was pleasant enough for this area. My friend ordered the Cancun special and she liked her plate. We ordered wine and had a strawberry and banana daiquiri which was awesome! The place is nicely decorated with beautiful color and the staff was very nice and friendly. I will definitely be going back to try different dishes and drinks. I think we found our new \"happy hour\" place after work! They have a really nice big bar inside with an extensive drink menu of margaritas and daiquiris and of course beer and liquor. Glad to have this place here! Wish you guys the best! I give this place three stars for the food and four stars for the atmosphere and drinks",
"Ok, look...this is standard Mexican fare. This isn't The Tamale Place where they can do just a few things and do them really, really well. They're new in the building, so they're still trying to figure out the processes and logistics of getting patrons in, food and drinks to them, and then getting those patrons out the door. So maybe you're there longer than you'd like.\n\nBut go if you need a bite and a beer. Just know what you're getting. I enjoyed my beer and enchiladas."

"Excellent bar and restaurant located in a historic summer home of a former President. Nice selection of beer and a full menu of small plates and entries. I had the duck breast that was really good and my wife had the Mac N cheese that she enjoyed. The server helped us pick out a beer from their large selection and it was delicious. They just opened so I'm looking forward to seeing what they offer in the future.",
"Quick review:\nWhile it was a bumpy second service - the food was great. There was a lot of people in the dining room, but you could still have a conversation. The management team was great at accommodating the guests needs and the staff was very helpful with each other and was willing to help out other tables (refills, to go boxes, etc), when our server was not around. Overall, in time - this will be a great place once they identify the inefficiencies with the layout of the dining room, and mastering the contents of the menu. Definitely a great place for a casual dinner with friends if you don't have any other plans for the evening. The beer selection, for being a craft house, is a little slim - but again, once they identify their target audience and get their name out (instead of just Facebook), then this place has potential. The kids menu is great, and portion sizes are fine.\n\nLong review:\nTheir opening night was Thursday, January 15, 2015. We went on a Friday 1/16/2015. Earlier in the day, I called to asked if they take reservations, I know that opening weekends - a lot of the time it's going to be busy. Unfortunately they did not but they did indicate the wait was about 10-15 minutes.\n\nWe arrived as a party of 5+1 high chair. We were welcomed by a person at the door and then there was a host station to check in. They took our cell phone number down and indicated a text message would be sent when our table is ready. They did not indicate if the text message we would receive would be free.\n\nWe were invited to go upstairs to see the rest of the historic house. This used to be the summer home of former President James Buchanan. We went upstairs and saw a foyer area and two rooms to the right. The first room contained an empty gumball machine (it had bouncy balls for sale), a pinball machine, a punching bag/test your strength machine, hockey, and a couple of cocktail tables. It also contained a wall mounted TV that was not on.\n\nThe other room has pool table, and a wall full of seats. It also had a wall mounted TV. There was also an unmarked restroom in the foyer.\n\nTo the left was another hallway with another room that had a very well used air-hockey table. In spite of having a long wait time and a number of people waiting in the hallway, none of the amenities of the gameroom floor was used. (Put a quick-service bar up there with a jukebox and some tables, and you've got another meeting area set up!).\n\nWe finally received the text message for dinner. The same person who greeted us also seated our group. While we did indicate it was five and a high chair, we were taken to a table with six seats. We asked for a highchair or booster, and the staff was not sure if they had one. Eventually, they got us a high chair.\n\nWithin minutes, the server greeted us (Ashley) and handed us menus. We had to ask for the beer/wine list. The beer list contained only the draft beers and flights (beer samplers) were not available. I had the most expensive beer on the list: Boulevard tank 7 farmhouse ale. At $10/glass (10 oz. glass), it was actually very tasty. (had hints of grapefruit).\n\nWe ordered drinks and about 15 minutes later, we received them. The kids drinks came in plastic, uncovered containers. We were told there wasn't any available right now. \n\nWe placed our order: consisting of: Chicken tenders with French Fries, Buttered Noodles, linguini &Clams, Filet Mignon, and orders of the Slow roasted sausage and sage stuffed chicken.\n\nWe received our salads with home made Ciabatta bread croutons. These were stale. Their only dressing choices were Caesar, house (Balsamic), and I think Blue Cheese? They were your typical salad - we were waiting for the stars of the show...\n\nThe linguini and filet came out with the kids meal, we had to wait an additional 5 minutes for the chicken.\n\nFood was an appropriate portion size, the filet had a sauce that was poured over the asparagus. The potatoes were presented to resemble an ice cream scoop and had a tint of green (parsley?). The linguini was presented in a standard sized pasta bowl with the clams open with additional clam meat spread throughout the pasta. \n\nWhen the chicken finally arrived, it was delicious! The mashed potatoes were extruded and looked different from the potatoes that came with the filet. \n\nOne thing that I didn't see on the dinner menu was a traditional burger. Most of the entrees were seafood based, but there was also some chicken and beef dishes.\n\nImprovements:\n- TAKE RESERVATIONS\n- Have more salad dressing choices\n- Fresher croutons\n- Kid-sized cups w/ lids!\n- Offer free wifi\n- Make the 2nd floor attractive by adding a bar, jukebox, or other items that would embrace a group.\n- Dining room music? The bulk of the noise came from the bar\n- Sell flights of beer (Samplers of 5 or more in smaller portions)\n\nNiceities:\n- More space between tables\n- Provide water without asking\n- Have beer/wine menu on the tables",
"Good beer selection; can't wait until they roll out the full menu. Had panko crusted mozzarella, French onion soup and crab cakes. All delicious! Tried Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA for the first time. Incredible! We will definitely be back.",
"Arrived to a confused staff not knowing where to seat us. If you are looking for a bar menu, wrong place. Not sure the menu matches the \"craft beer\" idea. Staff was very nice. Burgers were a little raw. \n\nWould not come back for dinner but definitely beers. \n\nThe menu is limited and expensive.",
"Greeted by a very friendly man who shook all of our hands upon entering. We sat in sunroom which is very nice, bar very nice, overall ambiance nice, inviting and very clean. Service was great. Food well could definitely stand some improvement. They're a new place so won't knock them too much since they're prob all still learning but our entrees were all cold throughout. Chicken cold, stuffing cold, mashed potatoes IcE cold. My boyfriend got shrimp flatbread that was supposed to have long hots on it but not a trace of them. The menu is all pretty fancy stuff. We got the coupon in Val pak and from the coupon it looks like they have wings and that type of food but they do NOt. Kinda false advertisement. Great place and has potential to do well here but need more casual choices on menu for starters",
"Really nice beer list of new and eclectic craft brews. Our waitress was able to give knowledge suggestions based on the types of beer we liked. The food was beautifully served. And was delicious. The desserts are made by the owner's wife.",
"The food was excellent, so was the service. Loved the onion rings, spinach/beet salad and pork taquitos.",
"Love this place. Last time we went. I tried the duck. It was awesome. The beer menu is solid and is apparently going to be expanding in the future which is exciting! Love the brewery of the month idea! (Currently Deschutes). It's great. I'm excited to continue enjoying them as they grow.",
"Good beer selection, and pretty awesome they have their own brew from Philly brew co. Girls with us enjoyed all the different mixed drinks. The food was delicious, we had ribs, chicken and burgers - all the food tastes homemade. Only reason its not 5 stars is because of being overpriced. \n\nWe really enjoyed the game room upstairs as they have pool, air hockey, and table hockey.\n\nPlace is packed on Fri night - stop by and enjoy!! They take reservations. Call ahead.",
"Went there last night with my girlfriend to meet up with some friends. Nice atmosphere but overall a disappointing night. Our first round was served pretty quickly as we also had to order food. We had the burgers (medium rare), but when we got them, they came out rare. I am assuming that the burgers are frozen and not freshly made. The buns were too large for the burgers. The fries were excellent. This is where the night turned. I asked for extra ketchup and waited almost 20 minutes before reminding the bartender. I was not asked at all if I wanted another beer and neither was the rest of out party. We stared down the bartender for a good 20 minutes and he just arranged glasses and ignored us. Mind you by now the bar was not that busy. I just wanted water and he walked by me three or four times just ignoring me leaning in. Another patron finally yelled for service but also went unattended to.\n\nWe got up to leave but we were convinced to stay by the owner who assured us better service and a chance to see the band. We stayed til about 11 waiting for the band and better service, neither of which we received. Also we had paid our original tabs, but when we went to close out our tab from from second sitting the bartender gave my friends a tab that also consisted of original tab. He looked annoyed and asked if they had closed their first tab, to which they replied you were the one who closed it. \nWe went to another local bar and were served immediately and even as busy as they were remembered what we had ordered. I will give them one more chance as I do hope the place makes it, especially once golf season starts."

"Perfect breakfast! Everything is made fresh to order! Coffee is amazing and they have fresh squeezed OJ. The service is outstanding and the ambience is comforting. Try everything!",
"Went in for a late breakfast around 10:30. Left without eating at 11:40. Other tables around us were also in the same boat as the staff were doing laps apologizing for the slow kitchen. \n\nThe manager was nice and didn't charge us for the coffees we had before we left, so there's that.",
"Went with a friend for a Sunday breakfast at 10:30. There was a few minutes' wait for a table. The waitstaff were all very friendly and helpful. We ordered a delicious lobster eggs benedict and egg sandwich both of which came out very quickly after we ordered. Would definitely eat here again- a really nice addition to Main Street.",
"So here's the thing...the Famous Toastery offers only one slice of toast with their egg dishes. Really? What's the food cost on a slice of toast (unbuttered, by the way)? Nope, not for me.",
"Food was very fresh and good, nice ambiance, friendly staff, quickly seated. Here's the problem - the server said that we had a \"family\" of servers -- everyone was our server. Nice in theory but not in practice. We asked FOUR different servers for water and only the last one came back. One dedicated server per table works for a reason. Still, good breakfast option...",
"Waited a half hour for a table when we counted 15 open tables available. Takes 6 bussers to bus a table after sitting vacant for 10 minutes. Got the food and was handed the check along with the food. What if I wanted to order something else ?",
"Hands-down the absolute best biscuits and gravy he I've ever had in my life! Service was good food was outstanding the kettle chips were perfectly crispy and delicious the Reuben was good my wife's avocado omelette was packed! We definitely will be stopping in here again, a little pricey but well worth it.",
"Loved this new brunch location. They need more staff to accommodate the busy restaurant but the staff that they have there now truly tried their best to give us what we needed and not rush us out which is always nice at a restaurant. \n\nThe blueberry pancakes that we ordered were gluten free and also probably the best pancakes I've ever had. We ordered omelettes which came with breakfast potatoes and toast. I love the gluten free options here. I can order like a normal person and I don't have to ask a ton of questions because their menu is informative. \n\nI highly recommend this place for breakfast/ brunch. It is an incredible spot to add to Main Street in Exton !",
"First time after church today with friends on a beautiful sunny afternoon and had a great server, Shawna. Very pleasant and accommodating despite an \"issue\" I personally had that delayed me getting into the restaurant to order (Shawna knows and we had a good laugh). Two of us had the corned beef hash and the others had omelettes. Both meals were very good and satisfying for all and we will be back! The Snowman.",
"Its so refreshing finding an actually good restaurant in this area (that is known to just have barely okay restaurants). For me, brunch is always a hit or a miss. Most places just make extremely small, expensive versions of things that you should have just made at home. The Toastery serves brunch all day and an extensive menu filled with a lot of options. I ordered the Avocado Benni (eggs benedict but with avocado instead of an english muffin) and the BF ordered waffles with fresh fruit and cream. I wish I took a picture because everything looked great and the portion sizes were good for the price. This is officially my go-to brunch location now."

"There's literally no price structure. I've gone in one day to get deli meat or salads and it will be one price and two days later I'll go back in to pickup the same thing and the same salad will be $2 more!! I've made comments before about it and they're FULL OF ATTITUDE. When we order lunch, they know were we're calling from and jack up the price. I mean come on, have you ever paid $14 for a turkey sandwich? The waitresses stand around. I can't tell you how many times I've gone in for deli meats & I'll stand there while the waitresses are all bitching behind the counter. I mean I'll stand there for a good 5 minutes before anyone waits on me. The workers in the back are creepy and harrass all the young girls that go in and out of there by whistling & making comments. In a pinch I will send one of my male co-workers because I don't feel comfortable. \n My parents used to take me in there as a little girl and I always loved their food. The little old Italian grandma with the ancient cash register used to yell at me in Italian when I wouldn't eat. Growing up Italian, it's a place that's always resonated with me. However as I've grown older & in today's economy, I realize there's plenty of deli's and sandwich shops that are half the price and twice as good. You're paying for the name & the reputation they've built as one of the only \"old school\" delicatessens still around. The owners are great people but I think they've lost touch on reality & their consumers willingness to buy. Between the prices being so outlandish and determined upon arrival as well as the lack of service, sadly, they've lost a long time customer.",
"Won best cheesesteak in NJ by Courier Times. Steak was good but cook went nuts with salt shaker-almost to the point I didn't want to eat the sandwhich. They did a nice job mixing the cheese in with the steak and toasted the roll. The cup of chicken noodle soup was fantastic - homemade goodness. Also loved the pickles they bring out. Iced tea was homemade and tasty. Came with fries and a delicious cole slaw. Thought $19 was a little high priced but this place does a good job. The excessive salt kept me from going 5 stars. If this is the best South Jersey has to offer Johns Roast Pork and Steve's Prince of Steaks have no challengers across the bridge.",
"I am greasing up my keyboard as I type this because I am just about to finish my first of many future sandwiches from F&M. \n\nThis morning I devoured a pork roll, fried egg(s) and cheese sandwich on a plain bagel. I absolutely loved everything about it from the runny egg to the melty cheese covering the sides of the bread. My co worker got a sandwich as well, and home fries! I tried the home fries- to DIE for. Thick cut, skin on, home fries that leave you full! I have a feeling we wont be needing lunch. \n\nF&M did a good job of marketing themselves to us. They had an employee come into our business with menus and a generous amount of gift cards. That is a great way to get folks interested in what they have to offer. So excited to try their lunch offerings soon!\n\nOnly reason this is a 3 and not 4 (yet) is because I still need to try them for lunch/sit down in their restaurant!",
"5 - STARS for the BEST Pastrami sandwich I ever had in my life!\n\nYou need to order the pastrami special.\n\nThere are other good items too, but this one is their most popular sandwich, and I can see why!\n\nFood comes fairly quickly so you can get back to work from your lunch break.\n\nThey close very early so it is best to come for lunch or breakfast.",
"Thanks to Yelp, I am finally checking out a lot more of my local restaurants. Today we tried F&M Deli, based on all of the great Yelp reviews.\n\nWhen we got there, we were instructed (via a sign) to seat ourselves. We picked a table - the place had plenty open - and we looked over the menu. We were greeted by a very friendly waitress, who brought our drinks and a bowl of delicious pickles. \n\nI had the Egg Salad Platter Delight. It was a bed of lettuce, served with a mound of egg salad, potato salad, and cole slaw, as well as some cucumbers, onion, and tomatoes. The cole slaw was really good - fresh and mayonnaise free. The entire meal was fresh and really good. It also came with a generous side of their home made bagel chips. My husband got some sort of brisket sandwich or something - I don't really know what it was. I'm a vegetarian, so you're asking the wrong person if you want to know about his meat sandwich. But he enjoyed it.\n\nAs if we weren't already pleased, the waitress then comes out with three small danish - one cherry, one cheese, and one apple cinnamon - for us to share. This was an unexpected treat, and we enjoyed them. \n\nAs we left, even though we technically had dessert, I had to try something from the bakery case. I got a piece of the balaclava, which seemed like a good non-chocolate choice, as I've given up chocolate for Lent. The piece was pretty large, and I ate it throughout the day at home. \n\nMy husband and I will definitely be returning to F&M, and I am adding it to my \"Regular Lunch Spots\" list. I want to try this place in the morning too, as they have a pretty extensive breakfast menu, as well as nice looking bagels.",
"We have been to FandM many times, but something has gone terribly wrong. Today we ordered the stuffed cabbage and it tasted terrible. Not eve sure if they were going for a tomato sauce or a sweet and sour. Decided to replace it with a turkey pastrami special. First, they were out of turkey pastrami so they gave us instead a turkey special which was wet and tasted sour. we think it was the cole slaw. Also, we ordered a grilled cheese with bologna and fried onions. The onions were not only raw but tasted as if they had been sliced and sitting for a while. The waitstaff is excellent, as always, however, think they should have taken that noxious cabbage off our check. will give it another try, because we used to enjoy it so much. but it better pay of or we are done",
"I have been to this deli three times now and it's one of my favorite places to get breakfast and lunch in the area! \n\nAfter a terrible experience at a restaurant down in LBI over Labor Day weekend I HAD to get another corned beef hash done right. F&M doesn't let me down. It looks appetizing, well as much as you can get with corned beef hash. \n\nOur waitress is super nice and will gab with you for a minute or two (if you're that type of customer that likes to talk to the staff at least). \n\nMy boyfriend doesn't like breakfast food all that much so he has ordered the Roast Beef Sandwich as well as the Brisket sandwich. Both were outstanding. \n\nAlso, the pickles speak for themselves :)\n\nI wanted to kick off my new yelp review with a good one and F&M definitely deserves the full five stars!",
"We visit Cherry Hill twice a year and ALWAYS plan at least one stop at F&M. The kids love their decadent breakfasts but those of us who know best go for the deli. \n\nI'm always torn between the outstanding pastrami and the smoked fish platters:\n\nThe pastrami is the real deal. Romanian pastrami. Not too lean but not too fatty, and properly steamed hot for your sandwich. The Special is up there with the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, too. Just enough meat to be maybe a little too much -- falling off the sandwich but not so absurdly gargantuan that it was never meant for one person.\n\nBut let me tell you, this place knows smoked fish. Sliced to order and out of this world, served properly in big portions with all the trimmings. The nova is as good as you'll find anywhere, but the kippered salmon gives it a run for it's money, and the whitefish and sable are top notch too. \n\nDecisions, decisions!",
"If you have never had their grilled pastrami special your missing out on one of the greatest sloppiest sandwiches on planet earth.grilled home cured pastrami,imported Swiss, topped with coleslaw and Russian dressing makes it the greatest thing to go between 2 slices of grilled marble rye. Many other great sandwiches on the menu.",
"5-stars for the grilled pastrami special. And their chicken matzah ball soup is good too! Pair these together, you'll go home happy!"

"THIS APPLIES TO INDIA HOUSE OPEN AIR MARKET: \n\nStrolled by here and couldn't help but feel allured into it's exotic enchantment.\n\nThe shop's layout is as exotic as it's stock - open, outdoor and underneath canopies, fabrics and umbrellas. Several tables and random displays sell everything from Indian shoes, pillow cases, rugs, blankets, bindi's, prayer flags, Saris, etc. Make sure you stop by here before you head to World Market down the street if you are in the mood for some Asian decor. \n\nWould have given the place a 5 if the 3 staff working there had engaged with us as customers, or even seemed to care that I bought something. Otherwise, a fun little ethnic-like experience in the otherwise high-end, hipster State Street.",
"Had the biryani, which tasted like someone sprinkled stale powdered spice on pre-cooked rice, lassi which tasted like the yogurt had gone off, and some other poorly-cooked items. In short, avoid the food at this place (although the shopping looked fun and reasonably-priced).",
"I am rarely disappointed by Indian food. The best I can say is that I loved the mango lassi. Oh, and the garlic naan was pretty good.\n\nMy spouse had a tandoori chicken dish that was described to me as dry, which I concurred with. Unfortunately, I might've liked the spouse's chicken better than my own dish. \n\nI had a cashew and dumpling curry, which I could've sworn it said the the dumplings were paneer (cheese). They weren't, so maybe I read it wrong. The dumplings, of which there were two, were oddly crunchy with some sweet things inside. \n\nThe curry itself was bland and a bit sweet, which is probably the cashews talking. It tasted like one of my curry-at-home failures, honestly.\n\nI would've ordered a different curry dish -- I love yellow curry of any sort, and I also like tikka masala, but the curry dish I did want had onions and they wouldn't take them out. When I can't get items subtracted, that makes me sad. \n\nAlso, some guy from the kitchen came out to watch TV during the middle of our lunch, and I kept seeing him out of the corner of my eye. It weirded me out, because he was nearby while I was trying to eat. \n\nOverall, I did like the decor and all the Indian wares for sale. Still, it didn't overcome the disappointing meal. I was tempted by 2.5 stars, but I have eaten at worse places by far. I just wouldn't come back.",
"I went here with some friends when visiting Santa Barbara last weekend and the experience was so bad I actually created a Yelp account just to write this review.\n\nThe place is kitschy and clearly aimed at appealing to the people who don't know much about Indian food or Indian handicrafts. There are some interesting pieces but the quality is bad and the goods are tacky.\n\nBut the most disappointing is the food and the service.\n\nWe had decided to order individually, rather than eat family style. Some of us got the parathas they ordered served to them a good 10 minutes before their entrees and another got her masala chana dish (quite bland and tasteless) without her bread and without the rice that it was supposed to come with .\n\nNone of the thalis came with the side dishes that were specified in the menu (papads, raita) and one came without bread. When we requested the missing items the woman serving us made a big fuss as if she were going out of the way to do us a favor by getting us what the meal was supposed to include.\n\nAlso, be careful, the prices on their menu are confusing. For some reason the same dishes cost less at lunch than they do at dinner. When we asked why this was so, the same waitress didn't have a clue. Actually she seemed quite clueless about any questions we had.\n\nAfter we made a little noise over the service, the \"chef\" came out from the kitchen to see what was wrong and was most patronizing and quite rude.\n\nThe food was passable, nothing to write home about. The tea was cold. The papads that were eventually served to us were over cooked and dripping with oil as if cooked with malice. The service ruined whatever little appetite we had.\n\nIt was obvious that the owners don't really look for repeat customers from any unsuspecting tourists that might stop by. Precisely why I felt compelled to go online and write this review to warn others like us who might happen to stop by.",
"THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!\n My lunch at India House was the worst dining experience I have ever had. First, no one greeted me when I walked in and eventually I just sat myself. Then, no one came to take my order for about fifteen minutes. When I finally ordered a lunch special they had advertised for $6.95 it took over 40 minutes to get my food. When I went to pay the bill, which was never brought to me, they asked for $13. I explained to the unfriendly man behind the counter that what I had ordered was only $7. He then accused me of lying to him and that I was only trying to rip him off. It was at this point that I told the angry man he would not be receiving any more of my business when he responded by saying that he didn't want any business from bad customers. \n There are three other great Indian restaurants within walking distance of India House and I would recommend going to any of those places if you don't want to wait forever to get your food and then be called a liar.",
"We felt like Indian food and this place was inviting so we strolled in. They seemed a little disorganized, even though the place had only 3 tables with customers. Said we could sit anywhere but all the tables were Dirty! The blonde girl was new -but pleasant and made a good effort to make us comfortable. The dark haired girl (hispanic ? Indian ?) she almost seemed offended that we were there. She was Not customer service oriented At All. The appetizer platter was not good at all. I would never order that again. The naan (flat bread) was burnt BLACK on one side! The Madras was good. Next time we visit Santa Barbara we're gonna skip India House.",
"I've been here for dinner a few times, it's delicious but can run expensive. Now, the lunch buffet is a total deal. 8.95$, salad, raita, dips, naan, tandoori chicken, chicken masala, chef's special (du jour), biryani, saag, and daal. Yum. I don't know if choices vary on different days, but I know it tastes good. Drinks are extra. Very prompt service.",
"As far as ambience goes, this place has it covered. In fact, my menagerie of hungry Persian friends and I strolled into here completely beguiled by the indoor decorations and quasi-clothes mart where saris, sarongs and other Indian paraphenalia (room dividers, decorative pieces, etc.) were being sold in the back.\n\nIt wasn't what I call mind-blowing food, but savory enough for moaning. It gets expensive fast. A $22 tandoori chicken platter just seemed, volume-wise, a little inadequate and vulgar in presentation for the price. They piled chicken tikka and other tandooris onto a monochromatic beige plate. And the dishes themselves are served on gun metal cafeteria trays, which had, unfortunately, a bit of a negative effect on me (makes me think of Kathmandu Kitchen in Northern California),\n\nWhat I did love were the assortment of Indian musical instruments as decoration far above the dining area on a mantle. What beautiful, awkwardly evolved instruments! Indeed the India House's true strength is looking like a crowded Delhi bazaar, and on a beautiful SB day, your mood won't really be in need of a pick-me-up so I wouldn't necessarily recommend this place unless you're craving Indian food and are willing to spend $25 a head at least to purchase enough variety of food to make the trip worth it. Good enough for a stop by in the mart though, if nothing else!",
"So I went to State Street in Santa Barbara for a girls day and ate here for lunch. Needless to say the service was mediocre. The food was a hit on two items which was the Naan(a traditional bread) and the chicken masala. Although the chicken was meh, and the sauce was really good. The samosas tasted like they had been frozen for a long time and didn't have the flaky crunch that it should have. The panir was OK but I've definitely had better and the cheese in it seemed old. The topper was the Balli wood drink which cost $11. It was supposed to be guava, mango, and coconut juice. No alcohol! It came out in a regular glass that you would get ice water in and when I took a sip, I nearly choked and spit it out! It tasted like pure syrup! I asked the waiter what was in it and he said 1/2 juice and 1/2 juice. To be honest with you i don't think it had any juice it it! It was like pure sugar. I told him it was disgusting and I didn't like it cause it was way too sweet and almost made me feel ill...I still got charged for a drink that I didn't even drink or like...I wont come back here again!",
"I was in Santa Barbara for a wedding and staying right near the harbor. My boyfriend and I had taken the little trolley down State Street and then walked down back to the beach. Before we got the the freeway, this was one of the last restaurants down the strip. We were drawn in by the outdoor seating and the chance to explore what was for sale inside which was lots - clothes, furniture, music, scarves, clothes. You name it they have it. The food was typical indian cuisine catered to americans, but it was very expensive for what we got. Actually just expensive in general. The service was slow and I wanted to go up to the counter just to get our check."

"Got a pizza during the soft open. Impressed with the options for an $8.50 pizza, unlimited ingredients is pretty sweet. One pizza size (a medium 11.5in), & thin crust only FYI. Toppings were small in size, but given that you get unlimited I can't complain there. Thought my Mad to Meat you was pretty tasty if not super filling. Husband enjoyed it as well. Can't beat the price or the deal so 4 stars for me!",
"They gave free pizzas for the grand opening and the staff was friendly and enthusiastic. The pizza was delicious and crispy just how I like it!",
"Good pizza, friendly staff and everything was clean. Very similar to Pizza Rev in that you create a pizza how you want it. All the toppings you want and if they don't put enough then ask for more.\n\nThey also have what's called \"After Baked\" toppings, so for example if you want fresh basil sprinkled on after the pie comes out of the oven just let them know at the end of the line. This is nice because I think it tastes better than burnt basil, and you can do this with any topping.\n\nI weigh 220 pounds and the size was nice and filling. As for taste I'd say it's about the same as Pizza Rev. Employees, crust & topping selection slightly better here, with sauce & cheese slightly better at the Rev. Other random thoughts...\n\n+ If you can't eat the whole pizza you dont need to bug the employees for a box, they are available by the soda fountain and fit a half pie.\n\n+ Bathrooms have towels and a trash can right next to the door, so you can open the door with a towel then toss it - bravo!\n\n- Next time I'll ask for extra sauce, I think it came out just a bit dry. \n\n- The interior looks like a prison cell, a good portion of the tables, chairs & walls are a cement color. I guess it makes the colorfull pizza's pop though.\n\nIn conclusion thank God we no longer have to wait a half hour in the Costco line for (average) pizza. This is a nice addition to North Goleta.",
"Great, quick, affordable pizza - I'll definitely be back! I think this place is better than Pizza Rev - the crust is thin but still has some good chew, pretty wide variety of sauces, love the after back topping option, super friendly and efficient staff, and clean dining space. Try the pesto after bake - so yummy!",
"Finally we have a Pieology! After seeing all my fellow Yelpers posts since practically the beginning of 2016 it's no surprise the 805 is late in the game but better late than never! \n\nPizza is one of my favorite foods and I love trying new places like this where you can customize your own to your liking with unlimited toppings. Price for an individual is $8.45 not too bad and it's 11.5 inches. Serving is enough for two people unless you have a big appetite.\n\nThey offer white, wheat, and gluten-free ($2 extra) pizza dough. \n\nMy first visit here was a good experience despite the slow service but I won't complain too much since they just opened. The ladies that helped me were kind and made sure the topping amount I chose on my pizza was good by checking with me. I really liked that so thank you ladies! \n\nI decided to go with a pesto sauce, mozzarella cheese, chicken, a sprinkle of bacon, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and kalamata olives. Very different from a traditional pizza but it was jammin!\n\nThe pizza came out great! I couldn't finish the whole thing so I had left overs. The crust is nice and crispy but still chewy. I just didn't like the little black crumbs at the bottom but I dealt with it.\n\nOverall it's nice to see Pieology finally arrive and I look forward to going back when I'm in the area.",
"Best assembly line pizza in Santa Barbara, and half the price of Persona Pizza.\n\nI recommend getting the herb butter on the crust before sauce.",
"So far so good! Waiting on pizza but seems delicious! Everything is clean and they move fast and efficiently. So far the only thing if I had to leave a comment would be, relax be more loose. But the nervousness and tension is understood since its new! :) \n\n\nASIA was amazing! She was really friendly! Made the experience enjoyable!",
"Wonderful! Friendly and efficient staff, reasonable prices and really tasty personal pizzas!",
"You can keep loading up your pizza and it's delicious. The staff is super friendly. And the toppings are widespread. It's thin crust style which usually I prefer thicker crust but this was still chronic.",
"Best bang for your buck. Very clean and nice atmosphere. Pizza was very filling and D Lish. I would definitely recommend you customize your pizza creation. Can't wait to go back with the family."

"Can't beat their steakburgers. Even though you don't have a choice of how done you want them, they are always good, even well done. I always get the frisco burger, toxic to the coronary arteries, but delicious.",
"Ok...so I said I would never do this place again after my first experience at the one in Chicago but I always give a place a second chance. This time I went into a Tampa property and I ordered a simple breakfast skillet. They couldn't even take a simple order and was giving me someone else's breakfast. Dang! I think there were about 5 people all together in the restaurant. Is it that confusing? I just couldn't take it and walked out. Unbelievable!",
"Every time I go to one something wrong happens with the order through drive through. They forgot the large order of Onion Rings last time, and gave me a different hotdog than what was ordered. Didn't find out the other one till we got home. Main reason I go however is their delicious Chili-5-way....",
"What the heck??? Went to the drive thru for three stinking milkshakes. No one in line, parking lot pretty empty and we've been waiting 20 minutes. They made us pull forward and I think they forgot about us!!! Oh, and when we ordered the banAna shake, they wanted to know if we wanted the \"real\" banana or .... Um, yeah, let's go with real. Hubs just got out of the car in the drive thru to get it. Terrible.",
"This place is ok. Service is kind of rough. We have been several times for the food. But it often takes forever to get out of there because the server staff moves like molassas. Also the drive through moves like pond water. People aren't very friendly or courtious. Probably because the staff is mainly young kids. Food is great usually but we have had issues with food being cold or our order was wrong. We have been here about 20 times overall. Food is the only reason we come. Milk shakes are great too.",
"Here's the thing, y'all: Don't come expecting some fancy-shmancy-LA-annoying-hipster type of burger. This isn't exactly Instagram quality. But if you want a good, satisfying burger and shake that'll fill your little tummy? You got it here.\n\nAlso big props to our awesome server; she was hilarious.\nPS. Totally dug the banoculate milkshake-- chocolate and banana. Perfect for people like me who just want BOTH :)",
"a flea in my child's milk and hair in the cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all in one order. i am absolutely grossed out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!",
"Steak 'n Shake! WHY YOU SO TEMPTING TO EAT ALL THE TIME AT NIGHT?! Seriously. One of the best late-night foods you can get. The $4 menu is where it's at. The burgers, chicken fingers, patty-melts, etc. All so greasy and good for those late night munchies. Although, I don't know what it is at all Steak 'n Shake's that I go to, but all seem to be lacking on service... The food is good, but service is def. not on par with the food.",
"I don't know what happened to this location, but this is not the Steak n Shake I used to eat at. \n\nWhile the burgers are still good, lately the fries come out with no salt on them at all and usually luke warm. On top of that they somehow forgot how to make milkshakes. The milkshakes come out now in warm glasses tasting like warm flavored milk. \n\nThis place also seems to have a lack of teamwork which might be part of the problem. It isn't uncommon to see milkshakes and food sitting in the window waiting to be run to the tables. There are plenty of waitstaff standing around but since it isn't theirs they don't touch it. I watched 4 milkshakes sit in the window for over 4 minutes while 3 waiters and waitresses stood there talking.\n\nAvoid this location, and try one of the others if you want a good Steak n Shake experience.",
"Long drive home and I needed sustenance... I don't generally care for fast food, and since Steak 'n shake is a step above most places, I opted to stop there. Where else can you get a triple patty steak burger and fries for $4 bucks? \n\nIn general, the food is good, the burgers are fresh, even if the service is NOT the fastest."

"No hesitation at all in giving this new restaurant all 5 stars. The food was fantastic and as authentic as it can be!!! We ordered the chicken quesadilla and the enchiladas verde. Both were amazing. We had never had a fried quesadilla, but now we know it is the all time best way to eat a quesadilla! The inside of the quesadilla were very moist as was the enchiladas verde! We can't wait to visit again!!",
"With so many good Mexican restaurants in South Philly there's a lot of competition out there, but this is definitely one of my new favorites. The atmosphere is great with the open kitchen and the staff is extremely friendly, but most importantly the food is fresh and delicious. The quesadillas were prepared deep fried unlike most Mexican restaurants down here, and the enchiladas came with a spicy sauce that I need to buy in bulk. We came right after it opened so we got a complimentary dessert that ended the night perfectly. The staff and chef were very open to suggestions but I think everything was already perfect. Can't wait to go back.",
"Really great place. Got takeout on Wednesday night - quesadilla and tacos. The earlier review about the quesadilla was spot on - fresh and flavorful. Tacos were excellent too. Family operation with everyone working the kitchen - great atmosphere. Highly recommend.",
"We just left Maribel Restaurant after having the most delicious meal that we have had at a restaurant in a long time. I had the special which was striped bass (whole, eyes and all) with rice and a salad and my husband had the breaded chicken served also with rice and a salad. Delicioso! The interiors of the restaurant was such a surprise in our neighborhood (I live about 2 blocks from 7th and Moore). A large space, thoughtfully laid out with the kitchen out in the open.",
"I was expecting this place to be decent, but it was much better than that. This is the first place I've found really good Mexican food since moving to Philadelphia two years ago---the carnitas is fantastic. I'm only moderately sad that the waitress didn't think I could possibly know what I was talking about when I ordered a tripe taco with my carnitas plate, and therefore gave me a *carnitas* taco instead. Next time...\n\nThey've done a nice job on the interior are well; the open kitchen, subway tile, and chalk board all look great.",
"Excellent Mexican food. Pleasantly surprised",
"This place is clean , quick service and excellent attentive and friendly staff. Been here quite a few times and I'm always satisfied with their service and food\n\nI usually get their tacos with beans and rice on the side. The prices are not to bad. \n\nI like the fact that their kitchen clean and open to the dining area so you can watch them cook your food.\n\nI have nothing bad to say about this restaurant.",
"Delicious! We went here on a whim tonight and were so happy we did. The guacamole was phenomenal (and spicy!) and the steak huarache was delicious. I basically can't wait to go back again.\n\nAlso, the service was great and the restaurant was cute-- highly recommend.",
"This is my new favorite mexican spot/ The people are wonderful and the food - the best! BYOB, great service and please order the quesadilla and steak tacos.",
"Just ate the brisket and mexican sausage tacos, they were great! The perfect amount of heat. We had the guac btw the 4 of us, we had extra to put on our tacos! it exceeded expectations. \n\nThe waiter was prompt, our waters never ran low, he did a great job helping us pronounce the dishes. \nIt was delicious !"

"Got to be customer # 1!\n\nJust went there for lunch, they opened today. They had a choice of two different lunch specials, #1 being a Indo-Chinese-Thai combo, and #2 being a traditional Indian combo.\n\nWe had a party of three, two ordered the Indian Combo and 1 ordered Combo #1. Everything we very fresh and very delicious. The Naan was insane, straight out of the the oven. Although at first I thought the portions looked small, the bowls they came in were very deep, we couldn't eat everything.\n\nThe decor is beautiful, all dark wood floors and paneling with nice photos on the walls.\n\nThe owner used to be the chef at Amans, which was our favorite Indian restaurant until he left. I'm glad to say the food is actually better than it was at Amans.\n\nHighly recommended.",
"Definitely a great spot to eat in Hatboro. There name is accurate for what they offer. We had the crispy lamb and crispy chicken for an appetizer and they were excellent. If you ever had Han Dynasty in Philadelphia, these two appetizers were were similar to that szechuan style. The chicken tiki masala was very good. Not oily like other Indian restaurants. Chicken and Shrimp biryani was very good, get the hot spicy if you love spicy food. Met the owner very nice person, staff was great.",
"YUM! Food is great. And excited they deliver!",
"Me and my fiance went here opening day, and had a great experience. The staff and owners were really nice and friendly, and the restaurant itself was decorated and set up very well. We opted to go for the Indian section on the menu and had the buttter chicken and palak paneer which were excellent and not oily or greasy at all. Their samosas were also top notch and delicious along with their naan bread and chutneys. Cant say enough about how good their Indian food was. It ranks up there with any fancy Indian place down the city. Will definitely be coming back here whenever i have a craving for Indian.",
"The chicken 65 was good but the manchurian needed to some work. The indian food looked quite good but I didn't have any.\n\nI'm sure this place will get better with a month or two under their belt. The waitress was really nice and accommodating as I changed the lunch special deal.\n\nI need to give this place another try and get something other than the chicken manchurian. Maybe next time...",
"Ordered online and had a fabulous dinner! Crispy honey chicken was amazing and the chicken tikka was done to perfection! So happy to have such a fabulous restaurant close by. Perfect spice as ordered. Definitely ordering again. Can't wait to try something new.",
"I can't speak to their food, because it hasn't arrived. I placed an order online more than an hour ago. When I didn't get a confirmation email after half an hour, I called to make sure the order went through, and was told that my food was ready and the driver was just leaving, and it would be 10-15 minutes. 20 minutes later, with no sign of the delivery person, I called again. I live less than 3 miles away. Again I was told that it would be 10-15 minutes. When I asked to cancel the order, I was told that it was too late because the driver already left.",
"UPDATE:\nThe owner called twice to apologize, and offered me a free meal to give the restaurant another shot. (I didn't even tell him that his delivery driver drove over my lawn when he finally showed up - an hour and 15 minutes after I placed the order.) I took him up on his offer, though I opted for pickup instead of delivery! The woman who took my order hung up as I was asking what time my order would be ready. I allowed 30 minutes since it was a Friday night, and my food was waiting when I arrived\n\nI tried the lamb kalimirch, which was lovely. It was hotter than I anticipated, but not overpowering. The decor inside the restaurant looked nice, and about half of the tables were full.\n\nWhile it wasn't the best Indian dish I've ever had, it was good enough to go back for more. I'll be interested to see if the service is better for dine in customers than it is for takeout/delivery. \n\nBottom line - the food is good but I wouldn't trust the delivery service! The 3/5 stars reflects the poor service, which will hopefully improve as they gain experience.",
"I was excited to see a new Indian and Thai restaurant open in Hatboro as these are my two favorite foods, but sadly won't be returning. Thai lemongrass soup was really bad. Our vegetable appetizer was just ok. Our Lamb tikka masala and korma were just ok. The waitress took a long time to take our orders, even after we put down our menus. And after the meal she kept trying to push us to get some sort of orange cream dessert. We didn't get it but another table did and it was just orange wedges with whipped cream on the side. The positive thing I can say about the place is the ambiance was nicer than expected for the shopping center it is located in. Hatboro has better Indian food at Biryani Bowl.",
"Stopped in here today for a quick lunch, after driving by everyday. First off, I was really impressed by the interior. It's in a smaller strip mall, and you don't expect much based on the exterior. I was impressed.\n\nThe waiter looked over the menu with me, and when I told him I'm a big Malai Kofta, he told me it was their specialty, so I ordered it. I was NOT disappointed. The lunch special also came with naan and a samosa, which was also fresh and tasty. Service was great and fast. Definite repeat"

"Best breakfast place around. Great atmosphere with amazing food. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend.",
"Love this place! Very comfortable atmosphere with good food and great music. We will be back!",
"We visited this establishment last Sunday, and it was very busy. We had a large party (4 adults - 4 children), and they were able to accommodate our party within a reasonable time - we didn't wait more than 20 minutes for a table. Pretty good start.\n\nThe hostess was friendly, and smiled, and let us know that the wait wasn't horrible, and offered us menus to look at while we waited. The rest of the staff seemed friendly, and it appeared managers were table touching to make sure the guest experience was good.\n\nIt's from here that things started to go downhill. First off, the seating in the dining room is VERY cramped, at least where we were led. The tables were close together, and the place was stuffed with people. It was difficult to move our party to the seats, and even more difficult to use the facilities and eventually leave - especially with a car seat and three little ones in tow. If you have small children, car seats, wheelchairs, etc. - ask to sit in the area where you enter; the most space to move about is there.\n\nThe food came out slow - almost an hour. The hash browns were cold. The bacon was limp, with one near-raw - and we had specifically asked for crisp bacon when we ordered. We were missing a glass of milk. We were short silverware, napkins, and syrup. We had three orders of pancakes on the table with no syrup. Odd, for a pancake house.\n\nMy wife and I each had eggs benedict - very average. One of the poached eggs was overcooked, and the other was under cooked. I tried a little of everything on the table - from omelets to biscuits and gravy to pancakes - and it was all very, very average. I was excited and happy to see another breakfast spot pop up close to the house, but we won't be returning. For our money, we'll go somewhere else or simply eat at home.",
"This place really surprised me! As you'll see from the many pictures I add to this review, the menu is huge and encompasses anything you could possibly want for breakfast, brunch or more. \n\nI've visited this place 5 times now to see if the great service and food was just the honeymoon or if it would wear off... it has not. \nI continually get top notch service and the food has always been on point! \n\nNow to the details. \n\nThe interior is way better than I expected. They really went all out on design and decoration. Premium look and feel and heck even sound, yea I said sound. They play music that is rather impressively presented with a high quality sound system. \n\nThe bathrooms are extremely well done and clean. Big deal to me. \n\nThe food has always been as described, great portion sizes and more than fair priced. I'll add pictures of multiple meals I've ordered as well as the full menu. \n\nIf you made it this far on the review, thanks for hanging in there. I think you'll enjoy it! \n-TW",
"I ordered the Golden House Frittata. It was the size of my head. Very delicious. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. I'll be back.",
"Very good for breakfast. The portions are huge. Our server Frank was very attentive and made sure everything was great. The manager Tim came over and we ask if we needed something cooked special for allergy reasons and he said yes they can accommodate for that, just let the server know when ordering. Coffee is very good and my wife had the tea and it was also good.",
"Stopped in for our first visit on 3/26. Wonderful waitress, Mandy, seated us right away & was very attentive the entire time with out smothering us. My husband had the biscuits & gravy, eggs & hash browns platter & I had the egg, bacon & cheese burrito with a side of hash browns. My burrito wax H.U.G.E! Even the gal at the table next to me exchanged wide eyed glances & she muttered \"I'm glad I didn't order that!\" Needless to say that I only ate half of it & took the other half home! My husband enjoyed his breakfast bit is spoiled by the biscuits I make & the gravy I make with smoked pork sausage. We enjoyed our breakfast, our waitress & will most likely be back.",
"Only because there is nothing lower. First the positive.. beautiful decor. The music was thumping loudly felt like a night club. Then there is the bar area where all the wait staff hang out with there friends acting like it is a club. Pay more attention to your customers not friends and family because they are not paying your bills.",
"Wow this place was really good! Don't let the name fool you. This is way more than a breakfast place. Very unique menu items but also familiar flavors for the less adventurous. Lots and lots of choices. I had the frittata. It was enough for me to get three meals out of it. The flavors were spectacular and it reheated well. Ingredients were all very fresh and veggies were crispy. I would definitely eat here again. The only thing I didn't like was the mural of smiling pigs on a farm. We all know pigs are horribly treated in the meat industry and I doubt any pig associated with food would be smiling. That was a little propagandish. And no I don't eat sausage or bacon or ham for that very reason.",
"This place opened in February 2017 and it is close to our house so my husband and I were excited to try it. We arrived around 11 AM and there was a line waiting to see the hostess for seating. No problem -- 11 AM is a popular time for Sunday brunch right? Well the issue is that the waiting area is TINY and we couldn't stand in line to receive a number for seating without blocking the doors for exiting customers or being in the personal bubble of the tables closest to the door.\n\nWe waited 5-10 minutes then we were seated in a booth. The booth has really fall backs so it is very private. It took a bit before our server came to greet us and take drink orders. Another worker actually took a drink orders. By the time, our server arrived we were ready to order. My husband ordered the Mexican skillet without chorizo, I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese burrito with fries and we ordered the cinnamon roll French toast to share. \n\nThe fries were crispy which is how we like our fries and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his skillet. My burrito was okay -- I ate maybe 2/3 of it. I imagine bacon in burritos to be chunks of crispy bacon. Instead I received a egg and cheese burrito with bacon sized like the bacon bits you purchase at the grocery store. Disappointing. The French toast was fine but it was average. \n\nOverall it was average -- nothing spectacular or horrible. I probably won't come back -- I prefer Lincoln Square Pancake House on Madison."

"BYO, and abosolute high quality food and preparation. Dinner only and make reservations for Fri/Sat. A charming atmosphere with the river across the road. Service is always attentive. I generally do not like salads, but anything they prepare is delicious. All foods have the perfect balance of spices, which is not the norm even for touted restaurants. The most impressive aspect of Francisco's Restuarants (Florentino's in Newtown) is the amazing consistency of perfectly cooked product. Both places offer a good selection of fish and meat, but while the appetizer selection is somewhat limited, this is only due to the fact that both places have very small kitchens.\nThese two restuarants are about 10 miles apart, but there is simply no other places worth going to in my humble opinion. There are a fair amount of choices of course, but the all lack consistency, service, or quality.",
"We ate here as a walk in birthday celebration dinner on a busy Saturday night. The host was very accommodating and found us a table quickly. The service was great and the food was fabulous. This is a great local place with a wonderfully cozy atmosphere. We live in a town with few really good food options so this is a great option if u are looking to stay close but have a great meal. The location on the river is beautiful too. Would be great if there was a real outdoor seating option.",
"I happened to walk in without a reservation and was seated right away at one of the best tables, in a windowed corner overlooking the Delaware river. I wouldn't recommend this walk-in method, though. Most people I overheard talk say it gets busy and the owner said several times to callers that reservations were recommended. This place is BYOB if you want wine, which I didn't know, and was sorely missing from my meal. Certainly not their fault, nor mine since I'm not from around this area.\n\nI had an arugula and radicchio salad with shaved Parmesan and a lime vinaigrette. Beautiful presentation. I little heavy on the citrus, but otherwise a great tasting salad.\n\nFor my main course, I had a med-rare Ahi over a bed capellini. There were sauteed grape tomatoes, green and black olives, pine nuts, and capers. Essentially, a slightly stepped up version of a picatta pasta dish. The Ahi was a perfect medium rare, although, for some reason the flavor was very flat; not the typically fresh and bright flavor of you tend to get with Ahi. This dish was rather disappointing. The portion was good and the dish was filling and ok, but far from impressive.\n\nFor dessert I had chocolate mousse pie and a latte. The chocolate mousse was sublime! The chocolate was perfectly light and airy in both flavor and texture. It had a very atypical oreo cookie crust where the oreo was not the usual compressed crumbs, but rather like a thin, moist dough. The only complaint about the latte was that it was served in a stemmed glass which made it tough to hold, although it was a great compliment to the mousse.\n\nI would say that the waitress/owner needs to do a better job describing their menu, and more so with the specials. I overheard too many other tables ask about something and it was described as 'great' or 'really good.' A fish should be described by the firmness and flavor of it's flesh, the soup by what kind of base it is and what other flavors are pronounced or blended with other flavors or components. Other than that, the service was quite good; friendly and well timed.",
"Enjoyed a fabulous dinner, with great service. There were 4 of us, and 2 had Hawaiian Butterfish and 2 had Bronzini. Both were wonderful. The Bronzini came with risotto, and the butterfish was served over spinach. We have been to Florentino's several times and I highly recommend it.",
"As soon as you stop here, you can see what makes this place stand out: a lovely view of the river, at least outside winter and if you are seated within the glass-enclosed front porch. We did, and it was delightful, cheerful and spotless.\n\nThe staff is perky and friendly, but Josh B.'s comments in his closing graf are spot-on. Not just one, but two waitresses would chime together about how this or that is absolutely the greatest, best ever, unbelievably good and so on, but with no specifics. All they needed were pompoms to complete the cheerleading effect.\n\nSouthern Italian food is supposed to be America's favorite, and by that popular standard we had nothing but pleasant dishes. However, if you prefer the more elegant northerly Italian offerings of, say, the excellent Il Melograno's in nearby Doylestown, Francisco's may come off as culinarily less exciting.\n\nIndeed, it was the nonstandard dishes that excelled. Shrimp bisque, if not outright memorable, was very good, and the Hawaiian butterfish was simply scrumptious. Lasagne, that old standby, used superior ingredients and is stacked high -- a tad clumsy to cut through but very nicely prepared, and you won't need to eat another thing for hours. Another warhorse, tiramisu dessert, is homemade and equally enjoyable. Even the standard bread (garlic bread is extra) and butter were above average, and we enjoyed the espresso.\n\nIf you are a big fan of southern Italian eats and lovely romantic views, you'll probably fall in love with, and maybe at, Francisco's. A thirtyish married couple next to us was holding hands and cooing like starstruck teenagers, so this may be just the place to create or rekindle that special relationship. And what a great place to make your guests feel renewed!\n\nSo we'll almost certainly be back now and then, provided we can get seating on the porch. As to the reported practice -- outrageous if true -- of asking diners to vacate their table after two hours during rushed periods, best is to go weekdays when there are plenty of extra tables to be had.\n\nIf we go weekends, we will do so only if they agree in advance not to ask us to vacate our table to make room for others. You may wish to do the same.",
"I have been here several times. Never memorable...always enjoyable. Their garlic bread is outstanding and I like their sauces but the entrees are not consistent. Tonight I challenged my server that my chicken had been microwaved. She denied and disappeared. She said they don't have a microwave...maybe yes, maybe no. It was just extremely hot in the center and tough. At any rate we did not see her again and John took over. On a plus, the host...John...is one of the best I've run into in Bucks. Please will a top quality restaurant hire him. He's worth another 20% in biz. This isn't the one!",
"We were sat right in the middle of the room. Not what we requested. The steaks were extremely tough. Sent them back. The service was good. The deserts were not bad. I'd give them a try a least one more time. It was slightly better than average.",
"Great little Italian BYO right on the river in beautiful Washington Crossing, PA. The first thing you will notice upon entry is the cute and elegant decor, which is perfect for a romantic evening or a dinner with a large group of friends. Even though Francisco's has a great river front location, views are lost on winter evening meals as the area is pitch black after nightfall.\n\nFood is a bit pricey, but I think the quality and portion size is about on par with price. I had the pasta alla ciopinno, a pasta dish soaked in a nice white wine broth and smothered with a variety of seafood--mussels, clams, salmon, tilapia, and shrimp. Everything was cooked to perfection. My only complaint was that whoever made it went a little overboard with the fresh ground pepper.\n\nService was spot on and incident free.\n\nAll in all, I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area. I do love me BYO's :-)",
"My husband and I just went here for the first time with another couple. We did not get the river view but the small but cozy inner dining room was still very nice. Our waitress was wonderful and her recommendations were spot on. She even went so far as to suggest that my salad was a shareable size and brought it out already split on two plates for my husband and I. \n\nI had the Bronzino with crab risotto, my husband had some mango fish (can't remember the name of it!) that was a special, our friend had the eggplant parm and her husband, the \"manly\" lasagna. Our plates looked as if we had licked them when we were finished!\n\nMy only complaint is that I felt this restaurant was a bit pricey for a BYOB. With 4 entrees, 2 salads, 1 iced tea (only drink purchased that evening), and 4 desserts...the total bill came to $163. A bit pricey considering we didn't even have coffee. \n\nI might recommend for a special occasion but I wouldn't rush back mainly due to price.",
"Really loved our dinner and appetizers. The Scallops, and Butterfish were to die for. Such a wonderful place BYOB so bring your bottle of wine and enjoy. We really enjoyed the flourless chocolate cake which was rich and amazing."

"This cozy two-story cafe, close to the university, is always buzzing with students and draws a colourful crowd day and night. It has a Bohemia quality to it reminiscent of places I've been to in Toronto and Montreal that survive despite the mad sweep of chain shops like Starbucks. The smells in this place are mouthwatering - homemade Indian fare including samosas with a tangy dipping sauce, just referred to reverentially as \"The Sauce\" by staff and regulars, that's to die for. The Chicken chana masala in a wrap was so good I've dreamt about it that night! The chef and owner Zee Zaidi is super friendly, and the full windowfront exposure and sidewalk patio are great for people watching; or just sit back and enjoying a pistachio chai latte (it has over 30 different spices in it!) and laugh with your friends at the road-ragers racing by. Life seems to slow down here. Grab a table or comfy couch to lounge or linger on. Beer's flowing on tap and a wide selection of bottled imports are available. Don't miss the case of tantalizing desserts with wacky names like \"I Don't Usually Do This...\" and \"Desserts is Stressed Spelled Backwards.\" A remedy for your sweet tooth, hungry belly, beer- and good-times cravings.",
"I love Remedy Cafe! There's no other coffee shop like it in the city. This place is always busy with all types of people--mostly bohemians and University students, but this place is very welcoming to all types of people. \n\nThe tables, chairs, and couches in this place are ecclectic--making each area of this coffee shop interesting and different. Remedy has an inspiring atmosphere, so this is the place to have great conversations or to write (as long as you don't mind noise). The music they play is cool--usually a lot of indie ranging from rock to electro. \n\nI don't drink caffeine, but there are a lot of other choices like interesting cans or bottles of juices or carbonated beverages, Italian sodas, and alcoholic drinks. They also serve Indian food, delicious cakes, and other baked goodies. \n\nRemedy is a lively, interesting place--much better than any bar I've been to.",
"Remedy is primarily known as a hangout for students, activists, and artistic types. The atmosphere is thick with culture and creativity, and the art on the walls rotates on a regular basis. A lot of people come here for the chai, which is delicious and frothy. The food, which mostly consists of Indian and Pakistani cuisine, is also abundantly enjoyed. \n\nMy favourite is the palak paneer, a thick blend of spinach, potato, and spices topped with cubes of cheese. The chai and samosas are a perfect snack, although the dipping sauce is more reminiscent of a syrup than chutney which is traditionally served with this kind of food.\n\nRemedy also serves coffee, beer, and a host of other cold and hot beverages. There is free WiFi for customers, and lots of comfy chairs and couches upon which to relax.",
"I've only ever wound up in Remedy to check out the folk-musician shows they sometimes host upstairs on weekend nights; it's definitely the sort of place that hippies and students call home, with a wide array of teas, cozy couches and the mouthwatering scent of Indian food wafting about both floors.\nSamosas are tasty and affordable, and being licensed, Remedy has a huge selection of beer both on tap and bottled (and carries my absolute favourite treat, Fruli). After reading all the positive reviews though, I'll be back soon to try the infamous chai and have an actual meal.",
"This is one of my favorite places in Edmonton that will leave a lasting impression on me now that I've left the city. I went there probably 3 or 4 times in the last week and really enjoyed it. I had only been there 2-3 times over the course of this last semester, and regret not going more often until my last week in town.\n\nTheir coffee drinks are very good, and they have an excellent selection of bottled beers, as well as a few beers on tap. Both upstairs and downstairs, there is a good selection of seating. My favorite is the set of couches upstairs. Kick off your shoes and get cozy with your computer and the couches - either alone or with a group of people. There is free wifi, too.\n\nTheir appetizer dishes are all excellent. I had a wrap that included tandoori chicken and something else involving spinach and potatoes, I believe. It was spicy by my taste, but not for Indian food. Good bang for your buck!\n\nThe location of Remedy is also prime; you can take any number of buses that go up and down 109 street, and it is a short walk from the UofA campus.",
"Remedy was one of the first cafe's I found when I first moved to Edmonton, that actually felt like a cafe to me. It's one of a few cafe's in Edmonton where you can feel a real sense of community inside. I have noticed it's popularity grow within the last few years, which makes it a little harder to find a spot to sit during the evenings, but if anything that's just a testament to how great the place is. The food is great for the price in my opinion, and the chai is something I always look forward to. They have a variety of coffee drinks (their brewed coffee is quite a good brew imo), iced drinks (and chai milkshakes :D) , and a pretty good selection of beers. The food is mainly a selection of indian food and deserts (cakes and pies) with fun names. Overall it's a great place to go to kill a hour or two, read a book, bring a friend for conversation, and enjoy some good food and drink.",
"Remedy is a really cool place to kick back and relax.\nThe majority of patrons are students, art folk and bohemian hippie types. The reason for this is the atmosphere at Remedy - it's very chill and laid back.\nMy fondest memory of Remedy is their apple pie. Oh, how I love apple pie!\nA lot of people go to Remedy for the chai. If you are a big chai fan, you need to check out Remedy because it is their claim to fame. Delicious!\nThe food at Remedy is, for the most part, Indian food. It's a great snack and the spices will keep you warm on a cold Edmonton afternoon.\nRemedy also serves desserts, beer, coffee, and some other drinks. It's really just a great place to relax.\nIf you haven't been to Remedy, I recommend giving it a try.",
"Remedy Café can easily position itself as a place for total free spirits. What an interesting place and what a unique crowd! I came in knowing that Remedy café serves best chai in town, and that Indian food here is worth a try. As soon as I stepped in, I made a mental note to myself that this place looks like a garage of a hippie dude in the 60s. The furniture is worn down and the walls are covered with posters and ads. Nearly every sit was occupied by cool looking young people who intently stared at their laptops. The girl at the counter greeted me with the big smile, and as she began preparing my order of tandoori chicken bowl and a cup of chai, I took a sit in the corner at the back of the café. It wasn't long before my food arrived. Tandoori chicken was perfectly marinated and a bit spicy. The hot cup of chai was sweet and comforting, and every bit as good as they promised. As an added bonus to all the great food and fun people watching experience, Remedy café is open till 2am every day (the kitchen closes at 11pm). Arm yourself with a laptop and come here on an empty stomach and with an open mind.",
"I love this coffee shop. I have never gone at night though (I am starting to think I should, after reading these reviews!).\n\nI used to go here every morning for a coffee and a bagel. The bagel had egg, cheese and bacon on it and my god was it the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had in my life.\n\nI would walk in and the man behind the counter (I am pretty sure he is the owner) would call out \"coffee and bagel?\" like it was my first name. \n\nKeep this in mind though-- it is clear that breakfast is not their strong point because it does take FOREVER for them to whip this marvelous thing up. There was once a time where I told the guy working I had to leave to catch my bus, and he realized he forgot to start my sandwich. He told me to get a free one next time.\n\nThe next time I went in, he remembered and gave me a coffee and bagel for free (well, I guess not for free, because I had paid for it the day earlier..)\n\nIt really does have great coffee though, and wonderful food. It is an awesome place to go and read or study. BUT bring an ipod. It can get pretty loud in there and if you can't concentrate with background noise, you're screwed.",
"Remedy Cafe has a really chilled out atmosphere. It brings in a very artsy crowd and many students. The place gets surprisingly busy and you may find yourself having troubles finding seating in the evenings. \n\nMany people here are just doing their own thing on their laptops or chatting it up with friends. The serve more than just coffee. You can find desserts, beer and other food here. I love their breakfast food personally. \n\nI would definitely recommend Remedy."

"I ordered from this place one day because 1) I'm always happy to try a new pizza place b/c I love pizza and 2) they're one of the few places I can order from using delivery.com in my neighborhood. So I ordered a pizza and something to drink. Then I waited. An hour later, I called to check on my order (since I only live 7-8 minutes away, I figured I should have gotten my pizza by then). Mind you, this wasn't a busy weekend night. The teenage girl who answered apologized and told me that my food would be there in 15 minutes. So then I waited. Another HOUR went by, and I called again. This time, the girl said that one of their delivery guy's cars had broken down, so they were backed up, but I'd get my food soon. Why hadn't she told me that when I'd called an hour earlier to check on my order? Finally, 20 minutes later, I did get my pizza. It was not worth the 2 hour and 20 minute wait. The pizza was okay, although a little cold, but, come on, over 2 hours to get a pizza delivered? And they didn't even offer to give me a discount or compensate me in any way for making me wait that long. And let me tell you, I was so hungry that night it wasn't even funny. So, long story short, I'm never, ever getting pizza from here again.",
"I'm a big-time fan of this place - it hasn't missed yet. They're steak sandwiches, however you order them, are fantastic. I always seem to order their Pizza Steak because it's so damn good. And, ya can't go wrong with their pizza, either. They're not the best in town, but they're still great. My buddy always orders a cheese steak pizza, with american cheese - ya gotta give it a try. Check this place out.",
"Great Cheese Steaks. My family likes the Stromboli too. For the price its hard to beat.",
"I have been eating at Apollo's since back in the day when it was called Apollo's on 13 (rt 13 is Bristol Pk). It has been family runned since 1975 and they take pride in the food they put out. now they are not the fastes delivery service in town. But I have been in there place when people have travelled from Philly to eat one of there cheese steaks. They make the best cheese steak hands down! The call themselves home of the half pound cheese steak. And it is a half pound, unless you get one of there mini steaks.",
"Hearty, big sandwiches at a great price! Damn, am I glad a friend suggested this place for a casual bite to eat!! I haven't had a cheese steak in years and boy did this make my night. My only thing is that you request the roll to be toasted, depending on your toppings. I got a cheese steak hoagie with fried onions and mushrooms. Don't know what made it so soggy but my roll was drippy!! Excellent quality and taste. If you're in the area, give this place a try. Onion petals are good, also.",
"Always great food and service. One of my favs",
"I have eaten at Apollo's twice, as a dine-in customer. I had the cheesesteak both times. Very good! Service (from placing order to food on the table) is a little slow, but the waitress is very friendly and helpful. If you have the time, highly recommended!",
"I really can't say much about their pizza and cheesesteaks, however I do love their all you can eat sit down specials.",
"I've been eating here since there was another \"Apollo's \" in Croyden. This is the one I recommend to all my friends when they hit town. No need to go to South Philly when Apollo's is just down the street. Did I mention I was the grill man & hoagie maker at a local \"Best of Philly\" just around the corner & get requests to make hoagies when I travel across the country. THIS IS THE FIRST STOP WHEN I GET HOME. Gotta have my cheesesteak !!",
"I want to give a HUGE Thank you to Apollo's Pizza. I coach a local middle school basketball team and we had our end of the season celebration today. They did us a giant favor helping us out and giving us a great deal on 8 pizzas. They had them all ready to go and the pizzas were very fresh and delicious! Since we had close to 30 mouths to feed it was great for a local business to come through so perfectly for us. Thank you!"

"Ruby Tuesday has become a new family favorite recently. The salad bar is appealing to my parents who are becoming more health conscious these days. Last time we were there my appetite was only moderately high, so I ordered some avocado quesadillas. The waitress accidentally put in the wrong order and I ended up getting chicken quesadillas. When I notified her, they let me keep the chicken quesadillas for free and brought out the avocado quesadillas out when they were finished, the avocado ones being very delicious, while the chicken ones being average.\n\nMy mom complained that they usually mess up her order there, but the waitress seemed so nice, I didn't think it could be her fault, something must be going with the cooks there. Managers were being productive and asking customers how their food was. My step-dad loves their turkey burgers, but i just think they are alright. I really love their tortilla chips and dip, especially the spinach dip.",
"Back in the rotation, been a long time since I've hit ruby. Nice and clean and friendly prompt staff.",
"If you loike food out of a box- and instant potato's- then this is your place- hey go ahead and order the house Zin- it's oakleaf- they sell it at walmart for $4 a bottle-- LOL",
"Used to be good. Not sure what happened, but take out has been awful the last few times we've gone. Food is cold, service is awful & servers were rude. Tonight was the last time! Won't return!!",
"My family and I come here often for dinners or late lunches. My little brothers love the biscuits they serve, I always get chicken with pasta while my family always gets one of their many burgers. The service is good, managers pop around checking on things. Nice place.",
"Three of five within my family got sick from eating here today. Chicken was the common ingredient. One was classic chicken quesadilla and two chicken freso. We will not eat here again.",
"Been here a few times for a business lunch meeting and our experiences overall have been decent. I am not a huge fan of these types of chain style restaurants usually. I would much rather go off the beaten path and find the hidden gems. \n\nThis location is clean and comfy and the servers have been very helpful and attentive. The salad bar is usually clean and kept up well it appears. Not a lot of choices in this part of town near my one of my offices but I am glad we do have the option even if its the run of the mill kind.",
"Always come here for the salad buffet. They have a great spread of greens, beans, cheese, and croutons. All crisp and fresh. \nWith the all you can eat salad bar, I ordered the Top Sirloin steak with a side of grilled string beans! Steak was juicy and tasted great - a little too peppery for my taste but it was good.\nMy guest had ordered the Baja Chicken Tacos with the salad bar. Looked and smelled great.\n\nService was excellent our waitress had such a sweet voice and was very accommodating!",
"Promptly seated, but restaurant smells musty.\nThe service was average, but drink service and the drinks themselves were poor. The white sangria had mango chunks in the bottom, uh...gross.\nFood was not even good for a chain place.\nDo Not Eat Here!!!!",
"I love my ribs at ruby Tuesday. We eat here almost every Sunday. But the last few time we have gone. The service just sucks!!!! The hosts were so rude and my ribs were dry and no b b q sauce. When asked the server about it, he just gave me a side of b b q sauce. I send the ribs back. So disappointed !!! Won't be back for awhile ;,("

"There's a special menu with cheap goodies. Oyster shooters for 2! Let the party continue !",
"I couldn't get to the location in the French quarter but the counter at Harrah's was not crowded and hopefully had similar quality as the restaurant. The po-boy was a huge sandwich and it was flakey and a good consistency. Really loved it!",
"DO NOT GO to this one if you have other option. This branch is franchise and different than other branches. The ACME loyalty card/program does not work there (they did NOT tell you that on website and in other branches). Its menu is not listed on ACME website and it offer much less items compared to others. \n\nBecause it is inside the Casino, the smell of smoking is strong.\nThe bar has limited inventory and can not make the two kinds of classic New Orleans drink I ordered.",
"When I went to my Saints game, I stopped by this joint and ate oysters on the half shell. Wow it's so good! It's a good place to go.",
"First stop in NO was Harrahs to gamble. Saw Acme and needed to try something. \n\nThis is a small bar counter restaurant. Not as good as the actual restaurant.\n\nI had the New Orleans Medley $13 and the Peace Maker Po Boy $13.\n\nNew Orleans Medley came with Gumbo, Jambalaya, and Red Beans and Rice with a Grilled Smoked Sausage. All tasted fine but nothing great. A bit salty for me. Sausage was just ok.\n\nPeace Maker Po Boy, fried oysters & shrimp. Good fried sandwich but the seasonings and sauce were nothing special. \n\nOverall not great.",
"Update: Forgot to add THEY DO NOT HAVE RAW OYSTERS HERE! \n\nHarrahs! What on earth were you guys thinking? You replaced the old restaurant with this junk? \n\nThe women employees were rude and snobby as hell. The woman behind the counter literally had a staring contest with me. Usually when I say \"hey\" to a person behind the counter, they either reply back with \"what can I get you?\" or \"what would you like to order?\" But noooo. She stood there. Looked at me. Fiddled with things on her counter while I waited for a response. She tried to make herself look busy for 15 minutes. I was at the breaking point of leaving until another couple behind me walked up to order and she was ready to take their order (The couple was black and so was the lady behind the counter, by the way). Luckily the couple was nice enough to point me out and say I was first. So I ordered the fried seafood platter. She was not nice about me ordering. Why? I don't know. Seems like she had some type of hate towards some people. \n\nOnce I got my food and sat down. The table was dirty. The woman that wiped it down so we could sit did a really bad job. Or maybe she just didn't care. There were still visible stains. At this point I just wanted to sit down and eat peacefully. I asked one if the women walking around if I could have two plates. She said okay and walked off. I saw her walked pass us at least 3 times before getting up and asking the cashier for some plates. This atmosphere made it uncomfortable to eat in. I should have walked out. The fried seafood platter was okay. The gumbo, however, was nasty. I have eaten gumbo many times at Acme and it's always good. \n\nI don't see this place being open for long. Restaurants come and go at that location. To have a bunch of lazy racist women working there, I don't see how people would want to come back. We really wanted to eat at the buffet at first but the line was ridiculous. Next time I'll go to McAllisters.",
"This Acme is inside the Harrahs casino. I was staying at a hotel closer to the casino so I tried this place rather than walking down to the original location which I usually eat at when I'm in town. This location has walk up counter service only. The employee was very nice but the food severely lacked for an Acme. I ordered a fried shrimp po-boy. The bread was hard and stale and crumbled all over my plate. The fried shrimp themselves were ok. I asked for tarter sauce with my sandwich which I didn't get. Since I was the only one in the place the girl went back into the kitchen after I got my food and I never saw her again. I walked up to the counter a couple of times to see if I could get her attention through the window in the kitchen door but never saw her. I had really been looking forward to a fried shrimp po-boy from Acme and ended up being completely disappointed with the stale dry mess I ended up with. I ended up walking to the original Acme the next day for dinner so I could get the real deal.",
"Food is ok at best but...what makes this place stand out is the b@&ch at the counter taking the orders and delivering our food she is a special kind of stupidity, after getting attitude when ordering I asked for horseradish her reply was great she said\"why\" I replied \"for the oysters\" and again in all her glory said in a beautiful moment of ignorance with a wonderful expression of middle distance on her face said\n \"uuuuh no\" ...please run fom this place and save your self..",
"SHOW ME THE MUSTARD!! I enjoyed my hot sausage patty po boy. I just wish Acme had mustard. The cashier/order taker was fast with getting the line down. My food came to me quickly as well. This was my first time at an Acme location.",
"Why no char-grilled oysters or raw ones?! This is what the restaurant is known for so why not have their signature food?! DISAPPOINTED. No point of going here....sigh."

"Koffee Korner is the best breakfast for your money anywhere. Their omelettes are large enougn for my wife and I to share and they are excellent. Only negative is its a small place and you may have to wait. Give it a try, we really love their food.",
"Never got to try the food. Arrived 10 minutes prior to closing. Would have done take out given the chance. Was simply told they were closed. Second time this happened. Close 3 on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.",
"Affordable and good food. They also have atm incase you forget they only take cash.",
"I pass by here almost monthly, in the morning and just stop for breakfast. So, since breakfast is served fast and you are out of there in 30 minutes or less, my review will be just as fast.\n\nCoffee, a little bitter-2 stars\nOmelets, huge, piping hot, very good - 4 stars\nHome fries, inconsistent, some burnt, some pale and almost raw - 2 stars\nBacon, 3 slices, more like jerky - 2 stars\nService, attentive, friendly - 4 stars\nPrices, reasonable - 3 stars",
"Fast friendly service. The omelets are huge! Coffee was delicious. Would definetly come back again,",
"This place makes the best omelettes ever, cloudlike wisps of egg filled with expertly applied ingredients. My only complaint (a substantial one) is that the staff are miserable. Never a single smile from any of the poor women who work here, and it takes forever to get the check. I understand that it's probably not their number one job choice, but it really is a mood killer. Still, the food is good enough to stick it out.",
"The Coffee Corner is located right on Broad Street in Lansdale. You walk up a few steps as you enter the restaurant. The interior is small but has booths along both walls with tables in the middle. They have a counter towards the back and the kitchen is just on the other side of the counter in the rear.\n\nMy girlfriend and I had breakfast here on mothers day. We walked in and chose a booth along the right side wall. Our server came right over and took our drink order. I had a coffee and my girlfriend had water. After looking over the menu our server took our order. She had a pancake, hash browns and pork roll and I had (2) eggs, corned beef hash and home fries. Our food came out quickly and everything was very good. The food here is simple but good and the service was great. The only negative is that they slice their pork roll way too thin. \n\nThis place has to be the best value for breakfast around! Our total bill with tax was $13.20! We will be back!\n\n*I believe on Tuesday or Thursday senior citizens get 50% on select menu items.",
"Went here for the first time. Cheap/Reasonable prices. Food is okay, typical diner menu. The place is small and seat yourself and apparently busy on the weekends. There is one major problem. It's dirty. I was going to ask the waitress to turn the fan above my table on because it was crowded and a bit hot. I did not ask, because I looked up to see the filth hanging right above my food, which would have exploded into a tornado of grime dropping on the diner's heads and food if turned on. If you don't even bother to clean dirt that is plain view your patrons, I can't imagine what is lurking in your kitchen. Clean it up.",
"Great and plentiful (4 egg omelette!) breakfast and very reasonably priced! Our son loved his chocolate chip waffle and we all thought the home fries were way above average. Will definitely return. Best breakfast place we have found to date in the Lansdale/Hatfield area!",
"Wanted lunch on Labor Day which they were closing early, that is perfectly understandable but the way the waitress barked at us when we walked in the door telling us they were closed was just plain rude."

"We went for lunch. The food here was excellent. We got the 11\" sausage pizza and a ribeye sandwich with two iced teas. The pizza was good and the sandwich was incredible. The olive tapenade was excellent as well. I was surprised that the service was as good as it was for the second day they were open. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because the pricing was a little high, especially for the iced tea and pizza, the sandwich was priced fair. We will back for sure.",
"Great place! Hearth Kitchen has a great vibe and absolutely delicious food! We tried this newly opened spot for dinner. Although it has only been open for 3 days, they really have their act together. The menu has options for those who want a casual pizza or a full meal.The crunchy flat bread sticks and olive tampanade were a nice touch, We opted for the pasta options which were outstanding! Bucatini with pancetta and a hint of truffle was perfect. DH chose rigatoni with meatballs and that too was great! We splurged on a bottle of Tempanillo worth every penny. The splurge continued with a shared Tiramisu. Heavenly!. the service was superior. We cannot wait to go back. What a great addition to the Kennett food scene",
"I moved here from San Francisco last fall. And with all due respect to Chester County, and I do mean, with all due respect (that's a Ricky Bobby quote), I have yet to find a restaurant that isn't \"one bubble off\". I am so excited about this restaurant. We went the first night, which, it should be expected that the first night is a little rough. The octopus was top notch, the prosciutto and peach pizza was very good, the drinks are modern and fresh, and our waiter was refreshing and sassy. I've been searching for a neighborhood haunt where I can belly up and have a great salad and some drinks. This may be it. Prediction. This will be the best restaurant in Chester County and hopefully will set the standard for others.",
"loud, bland, poor service, cold food,...\nPlease go to Sovana for the same idea done properly.",
"Well, they're new. And the format is a good idea. Sadly not really their idea. But ok. Stylish food for the country palate. Not pretentious. But comfortable. Interesting. And warm. Well, that's the idea. But in fact I'm reminded of the quote \"for a good time in Toronto ... go to Montreal\". So if you would like great, friendly, quality , tasty, interesting but reliable food within a few minutes of Kennett sq. , do what I did tonight (sadly AFTER dinner at Hearth) and just go to Sovana like you were planning to. Your ears will thank you , your mouth will thank you , your digestion will thank you and your heart will thank you. So try it once (like we did) , if you have to. Then go back to what works.",
"If you are looking for vegan options go elsewhere. I was told that the Pasta contains egg and the pizza crust also contains animal products. This leaves you with 2 options. A salad with a few nuts or a beet salad with sprouts. I went with the beet salad which was very small for the $12 price tag and considering it is not even organic. I was very disappointed. I will not return to this restaurant.",
"Awesome! Kennett Sq needed this refreshing and well done take on Italian comfort foods. Homemade everything from the bar to the pizza to the pasta and meats. \n\nWarm welcoming and awesome staff, compliment the hands down beautiful decor. We were amazed at the attention to detail in every aspect of our experience.\n\nWill be back again and again!",
"Great food and nice ambiance. But can tell it's new. First advice, is to make sure to have wine in stock. 3 selections were unavailable on a Thursday night. A little weird considering they have been open for about a month now (I think). Ordered Lobster zucchini- recommended as their specialty and did not disappoint! Caesar salad and white bean soup fantastic! Shrimp pasta good (spicy). Only critique was pizza, great flavor but burnt. Interestingly, when order came out with server, she was followed by (I assume) a manager who observed. Retrospect, wondered if it was about the burnt pizza or could have been about the longer wait (said they were busy). Thought it was cool manager was backing up the server, so that says a lot about the service!!! We ate the burnt pizza (because we were hungry) but again good flavor! We will definitely be giving Hearth another try and contribute the minor mishaps to growing pains of a new opening. FYI, our service though slow (not her fault) she was super nice, accommodating, helpful, and offered good suggestions, again just think they got swamped. Look forward to giving this restaurant the 5 star I think they will get to:)",
"After watching Guy Fieri reviewing pizza on TV I had to get a good one so I thought I would try one from the wood oven at Hearth Kitchen. Pizza in Kennett Square is not very good so I was hoping that this would be 5 stars. It is not however, it is very good and I will return. While enjoyable I had to add garlic salt, oregano and some olive oil on the crust to enhance the flavor.\nI like it here, look forward to my next visit & expect that the pizza will eventually become the best in town.",
"Disappointing. (No stars deducted for \"just opened\" issues).\n\nSigh. Kennett Square still doesn't have any great pizza options.\n\nWe decided to get takeout, and just try heir pizza and an appetizer that sounded like they might be chicken wings.\n\nI tried calling to place my order, but I only for the answering machine. I had to run an errand anyway, so I stopped in to place my takeout order: chicken drumsticks from the appetizer list, and a sausage pizza.\n\nBoth items were luke warm. The drumsticks were undercooked (not crispy), and were basically just chicken drumsticks with some of their pizza sauce on them. The sauce was sweet and watery, and not at all tasty. Do not order this appetizer.\n\nThe pizza looked ok, but was also slightly sweet and watery, didn't have enough cheese, and was pretty bland.\n\nOn the plus side, the decor and remodeling work make for a nice looking atmosphere- it was a Friday night and the place was hopping.\n\nI'll give them a 2nd chance just because there are so few other choices. I hope they improve and do well, but if you can't do a wood fired sausage pizza we'll, you have more fundamental problems than just struggling through common new restaurant issues.\n\nI really wanted to like this place."

"Great authentic food! I've had Thai food at other restaurants all around Tampa....hence I am a HUGEE fan of Thai food...anyways, this is the only place where the food actually taste like the pure heaven deliciousness I have tasted while in Thailand. I know what authentic Thai food taste like and this is it! Fully recommend!",
"Saw this new store open and I love me some pad Thai so I had to check it out. Good prices, and amazing service. The lady at the counter was so sweet. Honestly I'd be her best friend she was so nice. Like if I had to suggest someone to go on Ellen it would be her. Hopefully this pad Thai is good I haven't eaten it yet. I got to go and they came out with it really fast, they weren't busy though. Show this store some love they are new and ADORABLE 10/10",
"I got the lunch chicken pad thai and it was a great value. Came with a small appetizer (I picked dumplings which I wasn't a huge fan of). Excited to go back & try something new!",
"This restaurant located at Tampa Palm in a plaza behind Olive Garden . The interior wasn't so fancy or big but it was clean and comfortable. It sits about 20 people. I had the beef drunken noodles lunch special and shrimp roll appetizer (for 7.50). Both tasted very good. Service was fast . If you like spicy, ethnic Thai food, this place is worth trying.",
"Keyword: Authentic, Northern Thai, Unique \n\nI believe the above word define this restaurant. They are the best Thai now in my book in the Bay Area. This restaurant just open less than a month but it does have all the unique food that you will not find any where. One thing I have to warn you is their food is spicy when you have the chef select the medium hot. For me I like very hot. \n\nThey serve street food that only can be found in the northern kingdom of Siam - Khao Soi. This is a unique dish that only this restaurant have it. The dish include crispy and egg noodle with chicken in coconut milk curry. The chicken include the breast and chicken drumsticks. \n\nThey also serve Pla Koong that I like. I have this dish when I am in Miami from an authentic Thai restaurant. I have try many Thai restaurant but non have come close. Now I found my favorite again. This is broil shrimps in very spicy mixed of lemony base spices. It include lemon grass and kefir lime leave. Yum. Very spicy. Love it. \n\nWe also order the crispy duck in basil leave. The spice they use is difficult to describe. Very good dish. We order a drunken noodle. But this time the noodle is too soggy. I have this noodle at their lunch before and it is better. We also order another northern Thai - ginger curry. It is pork shoulder in long hours braised cooking. This is a sweet dish. For the rice you can order the white rice or the sticky rice. I never thought the sticky rice go very well with curry. \n\nI hope all yelper make an extra mile to support new and unique restaurant. The menu is still evolving since they can cook many northern dishes of the Thai cuisine. This restaurant do not serve alcohol but they allow you BYOB. I brought my sake. Very convenient and saving.",
"I've eaten THAI in Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Vegas, Portland, etc, and this was the best I've ever had. I had a sauté of shrimp, tomato, cucumber, veggies with a sweet, sour, spicy sauce. They make their own hot sauce. Lunch was served with Thai peppers sitting in fish sauce, peppers sitting in vinegar, house siracha, and ground chili power of some sort all on the side. I ordered 'Thai hot' and it was spicy, but not over the top. They have perfected the hot, sour, sweet flavor profile. Affordable too! What a great experience.",
"We had the Thai fried rice and the crispy duck salad delivered. In my opinion, the portions were too small for their prices. The duck was not crispy and salad was drenched in lots of vinegar. I have to say, I was not a big fan of the salad. Husband was very pleased with the fried rice. I will try this place out again in the future, just because I can tell that their ingredients are really fresh.",
"This is without a doubt one of the best Authentic Thai restaurants in the area. Food is Outstanding..! FRESH.. Cooked just the way I like it... Yeah it's a small 10 table place... And they don't make you feel like cattle on the feed.. \nOwner is always on hand making sure your food is just how you like it.... Always with that personal touch..\n\nIf it sounds like I like this place... You would be right!! Price is a value.. If you want real Thai food... from receipts passed down from generation to generation.. This is the place.",
"New Thai spot in the Palm Pointe plaza. I ordered Chicken Pad Thai - rice noodles in a peanut sauce. This $7.50 lunch special comes with an appetizer; I chose a spring roll. Also got a Thai tea. Didn't take long for my food either! Yum!!",
"Nothing negative to say about the place, just not the best I have ever had, or even top 3. But it was good. The spousal unit and I had lunch specials - drunken noodles and beef Thai fried rice. Both were good and the price was on par with other Thai joints."

"My wife and I were done with the mall last night and a nice lady told us the restaurant had only been opened two days and implored us to try it. So, with cash in our pockets, we said \"sure, why not?\"\n\nGood quality steaks and they don't make you buy separate sides like their competitors. The prices are very reasonable for what you get.\n\nThe decor is very nice and the huge fireplace is a great touch. \n\nThis would be a great place to have a drink and eat some appetizers at the bar. \n\nI would come here again. My goal next time is to try the fire roasted chicken.\n\nAs a side note, get the baked potato as a side. I kept eating my wife's!",
"I would officially give J Gilberts a 4 1/2 star, not a 4. After a somewhat disappointing food weekend in NYC, I was brought full circle with the dinner at this new steakhouse in STL. The decor is perfect for a steakhouse with the dark brown wood, fire place, plush booths and exposed floor to ceiling wine cellar. All of the staff was extremely attentive and it was nice to see Winged Nut by Urban Chestnut on tap. They had a very nice beer menu to accompany the wine list.\n\nI went with a party of 4 on my actual birthday and literally heard every single person rave about the appetizer and their entrees. We started with what I am guessing is their specialty app, hand cut chips smothered in a blue cheese/mayfair dressing. Absolutely delicious and the right amount to snack on before the meal. Between the four of us we ordered a KC Strip (me), bone-in pork chop, prince georges scallop dish and crab cakes. The steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and had just the right amount of fat. The pork chop may have been better, hard to say, because they were both so good. For a steakhouse, I really liked the bite of scallop with berblanc sauce. The crab cakes were seared with very little breading, almost all crab. After some very fancy dinners over the weekend that didn't quite live up, it was awesome to see everyone so excited about their meal. \n\nThe only reason they do not get a 5 is because the Creme Brulee was underdone. It still tasted good and you could tell it would have been awesome if left to bake for a few more minutes. Overall, I am excited to go back and think it is worth the price (which is very reasonable). We finally have another great steakhouse in town that includes sides and is not way over the top.\n\nCheers.",
"For the price, you'll get a pretty friggin good steak here. Morton's and Ruth's Chris still hold my heart when it comes to steak.. but they also could hold a lien on my house to pay for my dinners there. At J Gilbert's you'll get a nice steak, two sides, an appetizer and dessert for under $100 a couple. Still not your typical mall restaurant but a nice addition to my steak craving rotation. I'll definitely be back.\n\nAs the others said, it's a nice little joint. Not too many tables but we still didn't have a wait at 7pm on a Friday night. Bonus! Because the space is on the small side, be prepared for a slightly noisy dinner. Once the crowds died down it was a lot more comfortable.\n\nHad the Shrimp Durango to start, which had a nice kick to it. Great with the warm crusty bread served at every table. We both had the filet combo with a steak (4 or 6 ounces) and a seafood choice. The lump crab was delicious and the steak was perfectly cooked with a nice smoked flavor. \n\nApple Croustade with homemade cinnamon ice cream was a great ending to the evening. \n\nIf you like Manhattans, definitely give this one a shot.. possibly one of the best in St Louis but at $10 a pop, you get what you pay for!",
"My guy and I just happened upon this place and were not disappointed. I was thrilled when I saw the sign since I was able to enjoy a night at J. Gilbert's in Overland Park, KS a few years ago. \n\nWhile dining with my guy, I decided to have the Mesquite Pink Salmon and it was amazing! Baked on a plank and perfectly prepared. This is my favorite way for salmon to be prepared and it was excellent. It was served with mashed potatoes and green beans. They were both quite tasty. I started my meal with a wedge salad and again, excellent! Needless to say, I was stuffed. \n\nMy guy started his meal with the Tomato & Mozzarella Salad and said it was decent, but didn't rave about it. When his meal arrived, he sang a different tune. He had the Mishima Ranch Wagyu Burger. He was impressed! It is served on a pretzel bun. Need I say more? \n\nWe didn't have any wine, but the wine list is extensive. The bar area is large and will be a place I suggest for an upcoming happy hour. \n\nGo visit! Check it out! You won't be disappointed :)",
"Steaks here are an excellent value. Mary had the filet, and I had the strip, and both of us were very happy with the tenderness, flavor, and seasoning. Sides were also very good and were included in the price, which adds to the value of the steak dinner. If I go back, I'll get one of the steak entrees again but skip the salad, appetizer, and wine.\n\nWe had no issues with the food quality or service, but the value of the other parts of the meal were just not as high. At $7 or 8 each for a salad, plus $10 or so each for a glass of wine, and $17 for a (very good) crab cake appetizer, the bill was $100 before tip but after subtracting the $30 coupon we had. We enjoyed the meal, but we've had better for less money. Interestingly, while leaving, we each received a $25 coupon for our next visit. That definitely helps, and it was appreciated.\n\nService was attentive but not deserving of 4 or 5 stars. I had to ask for a fork for my steak after I used the first two on my crab cake and salad. Waiters didn't seem to know how to get the bread and appetizer plates situated on the table, and there were only two of us at a booth that would seat four. These are just small things, but we both thought the place was unjustifiably pretentious for the service they provided.\n\nFood quality was excellent, and I highly recommend that people try them for their steaks and sides. We might go back, but we didn't leave feeling like we had to return. My four- and five-star ratings are reserved for those places that we must visit again.",
"My BF and I are both veterans of 2 other of J. Gilbert's sister restaurants so we decided to go investigate the new establishment before Christmas shopping. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted bar the female bartender. She made me one perfect dirty martini and made the boy a special barrel whiskey old fashion (or was it a Manhattan? I can never remember the difference!). Anyway, his drink knocked my freaking socks off. It was amaze-balls. \n\nSo the female bartender walks off and next thing you know, this male bartender is taking our order. That's cool, but he's not writing anything down and he doesn't bother to repeat our order... so I am already guessing that he's not gonna remember everything.\n\nWe ordered a plethora of appetizers: sliders, mussels, sushi grade tuna tartare, oysters on the half shell, a couple of lobster claws, and shrimp diablo. Everything was on happy hour but it was evident that we were going to be drinking and noshing. Heavily. \n\nAfter we are well on our way to the bottom of our glasses (second drinks, that is), the food begins to come out of the kitchen. But, wait, not all at once. It's staggered out. Are we at a tapas bar? Were we forgotten? After a few minutes we have come to the conclusion that we are missing 1 lobster claw. We tell the male bartender and he disputes with my boyfriend, arguing that we only ordered one! Wow. Then I ask him which sliders he has brought us, when he responds, I correct him politely, stating that was not what we ordered. He walks over to the computer screen and begins investigation but never follows up with any reasoning as to why the wrong sliders were brought out. We also point out that we wanted sweet potato fries, not the regulars, and he blatantly flakes out on everything!!! \n\nAs we finished all of our food, I realize that we never got our shrimp diablo and mention this to my BF who is no longer concerned as we both are nicely intoxicated and full of seafood. We both order desert and champagne. Then the shrimp comes out. I say something to the bartender because at this point I AM HEATED UP. \n\nWe are full. Why is this coming out now, 15 minutes after we finish eating? \n\nI was staggering your meal. \n\nHow is it staggering if 5 out of 6 plates come out at once?\n\nSeriously? I could not believe this kid! My BF and I both know the general manager too! This was quite possibly the worst service that we have ever encountered. I hope they fire him asap or at least turn him into a busser. What a jerk.\n\nP.S. food was ok",
"We only went for a bottle of wine on my birthday, but the bartender was awesome the decor was great. Can't wait to try the food.",
"Overall, a new go to place. The steaks were full of flavor, tender, and perfectly cooked. The crab cake appetizer was almost pure crab--delicious. Creme brûlée was huge and good. Service was friendly, attentive and on point. The only sour food note was the apple croustade. The crust looked tough and it was. Boring and flavorless. What almost ruined the night for us, however? We had reservations in place for 2 weeks. Arrived 5 minutes early. And were seated at the bar! Thankfully the service was so good, my annoyance faded. But still, for a $200 dinner, I don't want to watch football on TVs and watch tipsy people falling over each other.",
"The gem of restaurant circle at WestCo Mall! I've been looking for a Keg, or Houston's since moving back east, and J. Gilberts more than suffices. \n\nMy wife and I with plans to go to Bravo for a NYE dinner quickly changed our minds when we walked by the new J. Gilberts and smelled meat being grilled. Nothing more spectacular smell than a burning cow when you are starving. \n\nWe decided to go into J. Gilberts to check it out and see what the scene was like inside. Nicely lit, kind of rustic, big bar, and the wall of fire in the dining area was pretty cool. All in all, a much better atmosphere for mom, and dad having a nice NYE dinner than bright Bravo!. Bravo is awesome, however the decor reminds me of eating at a casino, or Cheese Cake Factory at night. Weird huh? During the day Bravo looks better inside. Anyway, this is not about Bravo!.\n\nWhen we went in and asked to be put down for a table, the hostess said it was going to be quite a wait because of reservations/NYE hoopla. We decided to sit at the bar and wait for a table. HUGE MISTAKE (but in a good way)! This ended up setting us back a few dollars because we had over an hour and 30 to kill, and their drink menu is pretty appealing. We had the ahi tuna app which was great. Reminded me of ceviche, but an ahi tuna version. I tried the J. Gilberts Manhattan which was excellent as well. PS. The Bartender, a short blonde girl was super friendly, and made us a couple of great martinis as well. \n\nAs my wife and I got lost in our drinks, and conversation the bartender told us she was going to check and see when we would be seated. She came back and brought a hostess to seat us right away. Apparently the hostess (one was nice, and the other was kind of snobby) the snobby one... forgot to put us down. I literally stood infront of her and told her to put us down. Whatever... she probably came from Drunken Fish.\n\nOnce we were seated it was all good. Our server was bad ass. She could sell, and knew her menu very well. She was drilling down into the dish when explaining her favorites. She took care of us, was pleasant, and she rocked it. I think it was only her and another guy who had our part of the dinning room, and there wasn't a lack of service whatsoever. \n\nThe food.... For the money, this food is outstanding. The fillet combo thing is a great deal, my wife got that, and the crab cakes which were both awesome. She loved the crab cakes, and is a crab cake nut. 9 out of 10 she would take crab over steak any day of the week, but she said her fillet was so good, she had to stop eating the crab cakes in order to not miss out on the fillet. BTW, the mushroom risotto was pretty damn good. Oh, wait... the crab bisque, was excellent, and the way they present it is a nice touch. \n\nI got the 18 oz rib-eye which was perfect. So good, I was stuffed, nearly catatonic from trying to digest that delicious chunk of cow. I could have hibernated after that dinner. \n\nNext trip back I am going for the big KC strip. Not sure what the wife will go with though.\n\nGreat night at J. Gilberts. You can definitely get out of there for under 100 before tip. Drinks, and apps will push that number a little higher. Don't forget to tip 20% or more. My server, and bartender that night deserved every penny.",
"Wonderful experience overall. Went last night for a birthday dinner and had a first rate time and meal. Our server recommended the salmon and this was surprising since the place is a steakhouse. nonetheless two at our table ordered the salmon and the server was right on. Perhaps the best salmon we had ever tasted. The steaks were fantastic as expected. Had the tuna, steak carpacio, and chips for apps and all were yummy. only complaint was that the sour dough roll was over cooked and kind of burnt on the outside. not much of a complaint when thats free anyway. Our server was first rate and the place performed very well. The bar had plenty of action going on for a monday night but the dining room was kind of empty, maybe 7 tables or so. maybe this is St. Louis Monday night. Take my advice go there. This place rocks. side dish of mushrooms is worth the extra bucks too"

"Meun Fan Thai took over the old Cafe International spot and gave it a face lift and painted it a fresh minty green to match their Mesa location. For Thai food, there are only two choices in Goleta. My favorite is still Your Choice on State, but Meun Fan was passable if I don't feel like driving to Santa Barbara. We started with a bunch of tiny fried spring rolls. I wasn't a fan of them, too much wrapper and the filling was dry. The pineapple coconut curry was also mediocre. While the sauce was full of coconut flavor, I wish the meat was wok fried before hand instead of being directly boiled in the sauce. The tofu pad see ew was tasty and there was visible caramelization from the wok without being too oily. Overall, I am willing to give it another chance.",
"It is great to now have more options for Thai in Goleta. Now you don't have to drive downtown. I have had the Panang Curry, Pad Prick King, and Pad Thai noodles her and all have been good. They have great lunch specials for around $10 and do take out. Plus they have tons of parking.",
"Love this place!! So happy it opened up on Calle Real!! They are great for all diets, omnivore, vegetarian and vegan!!!",
"Something to consider with any new restaurant...it takes time to get things perfect. Having said that here are some suggestions for management. \n\n1. Have a system in place that everyone can follow. It is okay to have personality and friendliness but not at the cost of service.\nThe staff was enthusiastic and friendly but the only consistancy was pouring water. \n\nI ordered the drunken noodles and my wife ordered chicken curry bowl with rice. I was served my dish a full 8 minutes before she was served hers. \n\n2. Staff must speak clearly, having a traditional staff that speaks okay english might feel authentic to some people who have never travelled outside the country. But a language barrier is a problem when engaging the public. It took three attempts to clarify what one of our servers was saying. \nAt one point she came by and I think informed us that the food would be out soon, but I cant be sure what it was she said. There are free english classes available through the public library. \n\n3. Presentation. The food looked great and tasted good. But was not worthy of the reverence the staff seemed to bestow upon it. The drunken noodles was really good. And prepared perfectly, but I expected more after the praise.\n\n4. Price, the price is not outrageous but I can see where some people might think there should be more food. I know of a place in Lompoc that has good food for less and piles the noodles on. \nPersonally, I liked the portions but sometimes people associate volume with value.\n\nSo to recap, have a system that allows the staff to get the food to the customer in a timely fashion. Speak clearly, so the customer knows what to expect. Dont over sell a dish... say \"its all good, and my favorite (if they ask) is....\" and place an extra pinch of food on top or add more veggies to give it volume for those who think more is better.\n\nIf this restaurant had been open for 3 months I would have giving it a three star... but 3 weeks is pretty good for what we experienced. We will return and I will have the drunken noodles again.",
"This is the real deal. I had the soup with chicken, coconut milk, lemongrass, ginger, mushrooms, etc. Really delicious! I am so happy they are here in Goleta. I will be back soon. Be patient with the service. They are moving as fast as they can and this is not fast food! Their English is limited and my Thai is non existent. I can't even remember the name of the soup. There was a packed house at 2pm. Enjoy!",
"This place has the best pad Thai and curry I've ever had. Really nice place and really good food. My favorite Thai restaurant in Santa Barbara county and worth trying.",
"I had dinner here and this place has captured my heart. I loved the setting, it was in between formal and casual. The service was impecable, very polite waitress/waiter with just the right touch of attentive and the time we waited for our food seemed reasonable for the type of food. We had the sizzling platter which was more food than I expected and absolutely delicious, definitely sharing with someone because there is lots of food and bring tums because it is generously spiced much like Indian food. We also had the pad Thai with their peanut sauce and that was really good. \n\nMy Thai restaurant of choice was on State street this restaurant has displaced it. The prices are very compatible as well with the portions you get. Seems family ran, I always prefer supporting these instead of the big chains.",
"What a delightful discovery right in our backyard! This Thai food is some of the best that we have ever had! Everything is fresh with minimal overpowering sauces, crisp veggies, tender chicken and all spiced just right. Their Tom Ka Gai soup is a celebration of tangy and sweet flavors with just the right amount of heat. Pad Thai is another favorite and it was perfect. Portions are generous and the service was prompt and friendly. We will be returning often.",
"Ok I live in Thailand part time and more than a bit obsessed with Thai food. I've eaten Thai all across the globe as well and I LOVE this place!\n\nThe food at Meunfan Thai Cafe is fantastic and very authentic....... ok truely I LOVE IT! \n\nWe had drunken noodles tonight (spectacular!) but I've tried many things from their menu and all have been top notch! \n\nOur favorite dishes are the eggplant tofu (amazing!!) and the crab cheese (crab Rangoon) is hands down the best I've eaten ANYWHERE in the world! \nSuper friendly staff and a spotlessly clean restaurant are greatly appreciated! \n***and no I'm not family!",
"Fresh food. Place looks clean and staff is friendly. Chicken is delicious with peanut sauce."
