Let me start off by saying that everyone that works here is very nice and friendly, we were greeted by multiple people when we sat down, and when we left we were thanked for coming. The bartender was lovely as well, especially when she gave me the tablet to show the allergen menu as I am gluten and dairy free. Where it was not such a great experience was the food. We ordered the nachos with the hopes I could have a couple of plain chips. When we saw that the cheese was liquid (which my bf loved) I asked for a couple of plain chips on the side. Bartender said it would be no problem.
Saw the bartender ring them in, but unfortunately never got them. When the bartender returned from restocking, she noticed I didn't get them, but I said it was ok, I assumed the food was coming since it had already been awhile. I would not die without tortilla chips.
We waited a bit longer and finally the food came. My bf ordered the cheese burger with onion rings. It arrived with fries. They did bring out a dish of onion rings, and said we will let you keep the fries. Ok thanks but this was your mistake, not ours. My bf ended up taking the cheese off the burger as he found it to have an off taste, and the onion rings tasted freezer burned so he didn't eat them. So I guess we should be happy they messed up and brought fries. I ordered the steak after the bartender told me it was better than the grilled chicken. Ordered it rare and with a shrimp skewer. Arrived medium well and with no shrimp. At this point I was kind of over it all, so I just ate the broccoli and my fries which were fine.
Another bartender did ask eventually come over asked how everything was. He might have been a manager. I shared the steak was very over cooked. He did offer to make another one, but I said it was late, we waiting such a long time and I just wanted to leave so I said no. He didn't offer to take anything off the bill. There was also quite a bit of food left on my bf's plate. It should have been kind of obvious the food was just not cutting it. Regardless we paid for everything, never asking for anything to be taken off the bill, and we left an appropriate tip for the bill as it is not the bartenders fault. We left disappointed with the overall experience and joked we should have just gone to Burger King.
Maybe it was an off night being a holiday weekend, but if we find ourselves in the area again, we probably won't be back especially since there are quite a few other places to go around there. | poor service, bad food | bad | bad | 0 | 486 | null | null |
Man this restaurant is suffering from a major identity crisis, and it makes me a little bit sad.
When we 1st visited this restaurant a few years ago, the food was great. Delicious sushi, steak, pasta dishes and all kinds of other stuff--a really great mashup. Then, I guess some Colombian folks bought the joint and added Colombian food to the menu, which was a nice twist. The bandeja paisa was exquisite!
Now the restaurant is none of the above. It is simply just Mexican food, and not very good Mexican food either.
They have an image on their front door and on the tables of a crunchy hard taco stating that on Wednesdays tacos or $1. However, just as a heads up, please note that they do not have crunchy hard tacos at all. They got soft tacos tho, and the chicken ones that I ate last Wednesday were probably a 3 star at best. Not terrible. Not awesome.
Loaded fries were a joke. They came out after my meal, and were unloaded like a returned U-Haul truck. Dry and tasteless are some other good adjectives to throw at em.
Service was a joke. 4 different staff members waited on us, and they tried charging us $7.99 for 3 tacos.
I can't see how they're keeping the doors open. | poor food, bad service, expensive place | bad | bad | 0 | 220 | bad | null |
I love this place now more than ever because if their delivery service. When I either go in person or get food delivered to my house I normally purchase seafood. Their mussels are very succulent and well flavored. Yesterday I placed an order for the broiled seafood combo which came with a crab cake, 3 large shrimps, a salmon a choice of a salad or soup which I got the soup if the day which was Italian wedding, with two sidings which I chose mash potatoes and spinach for only $18.50 very delicious, but I do have to admit their salmon us always dried but ate it anyway, too hungry to pass up but could need more tendering with and the delivery charge was $1.00 which is good enough for me than having to go the distance to go over there is very convenient. Will be ordering as long as they continue to deliver! | good food | good | null | 2 | 154 | null | null |
Eating at Kayne Prime was one the best dining experiences I've ever had. We ate here for my sister and her now fiancé's celebratory dinner right after getting engaged. The staff all came and congratulated my sister. The chef (who is phenomenal) kept sending "compliments of the chef" to us. Every single thing we eat was incredible. The popcorn lobster was surprisingly delicious! The steaks were all perfect. Their corn is the best side! Our server, Alex, could not have been informative about the menu. He was excellent. We had the best experience and the food was perfect. We will be back! | great service, nice food, excellent service | very good | very good | 2 | 102 | null | null |
Soft opening right now so not all their menu items have rolled out. Came to catch up with a friend and a pretty laid back atmosphere. Lots of TV's to watch March Madness and definitely nice that you don't have to yell to hear anything as opposed to many other bars in the area.
Food was pretty good. They didn't have the sandwiches rolled out so friend and I tried the pizzas. Pretty darn tasty. Crust had a nice char and was crispy. I just wish the egg on top was runny. Completely cooked yolks aren't quite as nomworthy esp on a pizza. I liked how overall the menu wasn't overwhelming with too many choices.
Service was the best I've had in recent memory. Our waitress was attentive and knew the menu well. She checked up with us often without being overwhelming. | nice food, great service | very good | very good | 2 | 142 | null | null |
TGI FRIDAYS meets Chucky Cheese meets El Sazon...and it ain't all bad
In spite of the fact that this place is chock-full of geeks from the burbs, and in spite of the fact that there are kids running around all over the place screaming, and in spite of the ever present herd of freeloaders sipping water and grazing on the free chips, and in spite of the fact that there is often a 30-45 minute wait - and in spite of the fact that the much heralded sauces are bland and uninspired...the beef fajita here is SO DAMN GOOD that it makes it all worth while. | poor ambience, great food | very good | null | 1 | 106 | null | bad |
I've ridden past this place on the Cultural Trail before and always thought "Hrm, that looks interesting". Recently a friend moved into the neighborhood, so a group of us stopped by for dinner recently.
It was a beautiful evening with just a hint of rain in the air, so we opt'd to sit outside instead of waiting an unknown amount of time for a seat inside. It's a pretty small place, and with a group of 6 or more, your best bet will be to sit outside (if there already isn't a group there). Walking inside to use the restroom, I had to become pretty close friends with a group of table since I was rubbing up against them just to get past them. Oh, the men's restroom is marked, but the women's isn't. I realized this the second time I went back and realized I used the women's the first time. Hey, when you gotta go, you gotta go.
The tortas are named after celebrities that I'm almost positive haven't been there before. Instead of a picture of the sandwich, a picture of the celebrity was pictured on the menu. "Yes, i'll have the Ricky Martin please." "Um, excuse me, this is a sandwich. I ordered Rick Martin. See, his picture is right here." I don't think this would work.
Underneath the name of the celebrity in much smaller print is the description of the sandwich. Sorry.. tortas. You can also make your own instead of opting for the celebrity recommendations (again, how can you trust a celebrity endorsement when they've never been there. Shady!). I almost did this, but I was afraid the server would take my picture and use it in the next revision of the menu if I became famous, and I hadn't fixed my hair. Perhaps next time.
In all honestly, the food was good, and if I'm in the neighborhood I might stop by. This isn't a "drop everything and head here" kind of place for me though. Instead, i'll be stopping by Bluebeards next door.
Oh, a "gotcha" I wasn't expecting: order water, and you get a bottle of Nestle Purewater. Free refills? Uh, no. Also, watch out for the innocent looking pickled vegetables they bring out.. they pack quite the punch of heat. That's the hottest damn carrot I've ever had! | poor ambience, poor food | bad | null | 1 | 389 | null | bad |
Seriously impressed with this place. I've only been once, so I can't give it 5 stars yet but the food, BBQ pork sliders served with slaw on top, exceeded my expectations so I will definitely be back. The service was fantastic as well. The gentleman behind the counter took the time to explain how they operate and what they had to offer. The fresh baked bread is quite delish and also available at the GBCFC. They get their meat from local farms (WOOHOO!) AND they have homemade pasta in the grab and go section.
The menu is, imho, comfort food at it's finest. They even have a meatloaf sandwich. Did I mention the chocolate chip cookie? Get one, you won't be disappointed.
Oh AND there's a full bar with buy 1 get 1 Bloody Mary's and Mimosas on Sunday. I will definitely be back.
I discovered last night that they sell their amaze balls chocolate chip cookies in Pilsbury-style dough form. Well I headed straight home to make some cookies and let me tell you what! They tasted just like the ones cooked at Reno Provisions. Shut the front door! Color this girl happy and consider her a regular. | very good food, great service | very good | very good | 2 | 199 | null | null |
Took a cooking class here with Betty Foo (sister of more famous Susannah) 2 years ago. Entire family who work in the restaurant are very nice. The interior is warm and cozy. This is not your average chinese food place.
A little on the pricey side for what you get, but great anyway. That's what you get if you are in ritzy Ardmore, anyway. Good for large parties because they have large round tables. Great service.
I learned to make a mean hot and sour soup and to get the best soy sauce ever (Kimlan). Right between the Ardmore Police Department and train station. Easy to miss. | expensive, great service, good food | good | very good | 1 | 107 | bad | null |
I just recently moved the Wesley Chapel. I was in search of the best chicken wing spot, not really caring for the usual beef o Brady's and some other smaller places. I decided to try New York's best pizza for their chicken wings .I was glad I did. by far the biggest ,meatest and best cookd chicken wing in the area .sauces are pretty good .i chose to get them naked and put whatever sauce I want on them at the house. that being said ,I ordered a stuffed shells dinner for 14.99 one evening for my lady ,wasn't really well done and for 14.99 .I won't be ordering it again. but the chicken wings are what I'll come back for again and again | good food, expensive place | good | null | 1 | 124 | bad | null |
Went to dinner last night with a large group of people for a friend's birthday. Everything went great. The servers were attentive and efficient. Until the birthday celebration. They serenaded the birthday girl and put a tin foil hat on her head, which was cute and all BUT the free dessert was a Dixie shot cup of whipped cream with a candle in it. Come on. Really? That's just disrespectful. If you're going to offer birthday celebrations, at least have a friggin cupcake ready.
Still a good place for a casual, but slightly upscale Mexican meal. But don't take people for their birthdays, especially if they like dessert. | okay service | null | neutral | 1 | 108 | null | null |
I was never excited to visit this place unless I am ordering sushi. That's probably the best and only reason one should order form here. Today I gave take-out a try. Ordered a LARGE beef and broccoli (pictured below) I'm sorry but I will be sticking to my usual take out place from now on. I really was surprised by the serving amount.
Customer service:Hope you enjoy walking on eggshells. It's a thumbs down. Would you believe that a lady working once said. No tip? Then took out the fried noodles out my bad. I ALWAYS ask for them and they ALWAYS,ALWAYS do not include them. Today is no different.
I would recommend dine in only. However, service for sit in and take out should be the same. | bad service, okay food | neutral | bad | 1 | 128 | null | null |
Tonight was my first time trying blaze since being at temple and I have nothing bad to say about it!! It reminded me exactly of a MOD pizza, I didn't see much of a difference with it. I ordered the red vine (I think?) which was the closest thing on the menu to a margherita Pizza and I just added ricotta cheese. The pizza was delicious, it came fresh out of the oven and it was cooked to the perfect temperature.
I saw that blaze offers rewards and you get a stamp for each pizza you purchase, when you get to 10 then your pizza is free. Pretty cool, I'm going to check it out! | great pizza | very good | null | 2 | 115 | null | null |
We all like Pho, right? Well, most of anyways. After all, it's just noodle soup that each individual spices up to their own liking. But not so fast. No customizing here. Your bowl will arrive with all the fixins included, so if you don't like it spicy, ask for no jalapeños. Same goes if you don't like mint or cilantro.
As for the soup, it's really good! I got the chicken and pork meatball combo. The pork was very tasty, but the chicken? Skip it. It lacks flavor and its drizzled with what tastes like a teriyaki BBQ sauce--not worth the extra 2 bucks in my opinion. Also, I ordered a half portion and it was plenty for me.
The soup was slow to come out, but they just open, so I refuse to ding them for that. Patience is the key here.
The main drawback here is the restaurant itself. Florida is a sweltering hot state, especially along the west coast were we don't have the luxury of a constant seabreeze like the folks on the east side. So as one might imagine, eating boiling hot soup requires a cool environment in which to do so, and from Arpil to December, PhoEdin isn't really going to provide that. Why? Because it is outdoor seating only. Sure, it's shaded, but make no mistake, if you put one jalapeño too many in your broth, you'll be sweating like a hooker in a southern Baptist church.
Still, I think this place has potential, and it brings an a new element to Dunedin, Vietnamese fare. Pisces Sushi just relocated from Main & US 19 to the downtown area, so it feels like there is a nice ethnic shift in the food's diversity happening right now, and I am a big fan. Now all we need is a good Mediterranean joint!
The numero uno positive with PhoEdin is location. Sure, it's not on trendy Main Street, but it is right off the Pinellas Trail. Lots of pedestrian traffic passing by this place on a daily basis. In fact, it is how La Chica & I found it; just whizzing by on our bikes.
By the way, this place is owned and operated by the same folks as Hog Island Fish Camp and Olde Bay Café, so trust in the food and support local business owners. Go today!! | good soup, okay service | good | neutral | 2 | 393 | null | null |
I've been looking to try The Funky Taco Love for a few months and finally had the chance last night. I'm writing this while eating the leftovers because there were way too many good things to pass up on the menu.
I love the multiple vegan options! The cauliflower appetizer was seasoned and fried well, the dipping sauce was great, and other than needing a little hot sauce, there was nothing slowing us down from finishing it with our drinks. The cauliflower tacos were very similar to the appetizer but in a saucy taco form. The tofu bahn mi tacos were super fresh and a very refreshing take on a tofu taco. Lastly, the vegan enchiladas with creamed corn was a solid entree with lots of flavor and creamy goodness.
The staff was helpful and the requisite amount of funky cool. Can't wait to bring people here to try more things on the menu! | great food, good service | very good | good | 2 | 154 | null | null |
Based on information on the website we tried to have a late lunch/early dinner here today.
Unfortunately they apparently only have a bar/sushi menu from 2:30-4:30 and they do not seat at the tables by the water outside.
Also the hostess was not nice to us at all.
I've written the business and have complained.
Also we blew $10 on parking and couldn't even eat there.
The bar area was packed, social distancing RIGHT out the window, unacceptable. So even if we had wanted sushi or the bar menu we wouldn't do it because of the safety concerns.
You guys can do better. | bad service, poor ambience | null | bad | 0 | 103 | null | bad |
I'm new to this spot. They have a decent menu.
Inside the place looks surprisingly clean and kept in order.
I ordered half a chicken and boneless chicken. I was disappointed to arrive and pick up only a half chicken -- they were out of boneless chicken I was told. I was only frustrated due to thier lack of reaching out to allow me to change my order. He asks if I still wanted the half chicken when I arrived and I said only if its ready. He said It was and collected my money. Then I waited 10mimutes (while he deep fried a chicken)
If you ever have a group of people they have a nice big round table, seats at least 8 people. | poor service | null | bad | 1 | 125 | null | null |
There's a lot of little things I like about Julio's. The decor is nicely done, and certainly thematic, and the open-air front really opens the place up and gets a bit of a breeze going through. I'd like to go back and see if I can secure a table at the front - I think with the Whyte Ave night life on a summer's night that would be fantastic.
The food really doesn't cover much in the way of local dishes beyond the well-known fare, which is a shame, but I enjoyed everything I ate. Food portions were on the large side - so you shouldn't be leaving here hungry, and yet the price left me a bit sore. $19.00 is a lot for a main dish of fajitas, even if they are nice! Best surprise of my evening was fishbowl-sized margaritas. Hurray!
The Fried Ice Cream is definitely worth a try. | nice ambience, expensive place, good food | good | null | 1 | 152 | bad | very good |
After a long flight, and a stomach growling for a good home cooked southern meal, I was lured in by the server outside. I was kinda nervous as to what to expect but I ordered the ribs and my mom ordered the jambalaya. Food came out, I took the first bite and the food was not hot enough. It seemed as if it was microwaved. My mom said that her jambalaya tasted like Zatarain's from thebox. The meal was just not that good, and the server kept making comments in french while walking away. The experience was not the greatest. But hey, not everybody's cooking is going to be good. I understand. I still was planning to pay full price, but when I told the server I wasn't happy with the food, he got so offended....as if iI still wasn't gonna pay! It was the place....dirty....the bread was in a basket with an empty butter package when it first arrived....the food was poor quality and was overpriced for its worth....the servers were creepy.....no, never again. If you think this place was well worth your money, you obviously don't have good taste in food and service | bad food, expensive, bad service, bad ambience | bad | bad | 0 | 195 | bad | bad |
Walking into the place I was very skeptical due to the "run down" look of the exterior. My girlfriend and I walked in and decided to order asap because we were famished. I ordered "banana foster" French toast and she, "day and night" french toast with a side of bacon. We waited way too long for our food to come out and even watched the food sit at the pass for at least 7 minutes. So boom foods now on the table and my French toast had no banana on it, weird. I decided not to say anything because of how hungry I was. Both of our food was cold and so were the 3 strips of bacon, which were $4 by the way. Waitress was nice but never checked on us during service.. late into our brunch we noticed the place was quite. There was no music which was a slight disappointment. Our check was brought back to us by a different waitress and our waitress never even said goodbye or thank you for stopping in. Overall a very disappointing time. Needless to say I wont be returning. | poor service, poor food | bad | bad | 0 | 189 | null | null |
Last minute restaurant week reservation for a big party of 7. The name itself seems casual, which this place was. However, their food could have been served in a fancier restaurant. True to the Cafe in their name, they offered an assortment of sandwiches.
Four people did restaurant week and enjoyed the goat cheese salads, trout, escargot and chocolate cake. The onion soup was very good, and everyone raved about the beef and the lamb, saying they were perfectly cooked. The roasted chicken sandwich was quite delicious with pesto and a solid chunk of cheese, in addition to the very good bread.
The service was a little disjointed (plates coming out at different times, silverware not being replaced when there was food in front of everyone, bread coming out after the entrees), which I attribute to not everyone getting restaurant week menu items and having such a large party.
I would come back here for lunch to get a sandwich but probably not dinner again. It was pretty noisy and more casual than I'm used to for dinner dates. | nice food, poor service, poor ambience | very good | bad | 2 | 179 | null | bad |
My boyfriend and I LOVE Cactus Club. The West Edmonton Mall location was our go-to dinner/drink place before the Jasper Ave location opened up. Both places are great for the summer with their awesome patios, but Jasper Ave has a patio fully enclosed with glass, so that you can still enjoy the patio, sunny type feel, even in the winter!
If you haven't before, try the butternut squash ravioli. Usually when we go with 2-4 people, we get a plate of the full size order (7 pieces) for an appetizer, which ends up being a better deal for the price. For drinks, their Red Sangria is amazing! But, pretty much all of their listed drinks are... My boyfriend loves the Cohiba.
Cactus Club is a bit more expensive than other dining places in the area, but 100% worth it. By far one of the best places to eat in Edmonton!! Go there expecting to drink lots. | great food | very good | null | 2 | 156 | null | null |
I've been going to be well at least 3 times a week for the last three years. It is the perfect place, atmosphere, and cozy spot for people looking to get out of the house or grab a bite to eat. You can tell that everybody cares about each other that works here. The food is incredible. There aren't many places like be well in bucks county. From smoothies to wraps, salads, AMAZING desserts, and soups and more. If I had to choose some favorites it would be the bright eyes smoothie with spinach, veggie soup, butternut bean burrito, açaí bowl, mocha espresso, and mocha/salted caramel tuxedo cups. I love this place. | great ambience, great food | very good | null | 2 | 112 | null | very good |
Came in to grab some breakfast and use the coupon we had earned through their Egghead club. I'm not a fan for how they make their omelets, so I opted for the scrambled version of Dierdoni without the mushrooms (sausage, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms, and jack cheese). My hubby ordered the scrambled version of My Big Fat Greek Omelette. My food didn't have anything wrong with it, but it didn't quite hit the spot I was hoping for.
It seems that we almost always get greeted with a smile. We declined the first table offered to us because we prefer to sit across from each other versus side by side. Another table was readily available quite promptly. Our server was ok; nothing in his service stood out, but I don't have any complaints either. The food was delivered with good presentation, good temps, and good taste. A waitress scooped up my check and cc before I was ready to take it to the front register, and returned it processed and ready to sign. All in all, it was a good meal. | okay food, okay service | neutral | neutral | 2 | 180 | null | null |
Having been here twice, I have to agree with other reviewers that the main reason Audrey Claire survives is its location. You can't argue that it's pretty much perfectly situated as a cutesy BYO. And cute it is - they really do a good job of cultivating that atmosphere. Don't get me wrong - the food is very tasty, and I've had a great time whenever I've been.
That said, it's pretty telling that I had a better time the first time I went to Audrey Claire - when my meal was paid for. The prices on their menu are pretty up there given what's on there, and overall, not a lot of the dishes work well with each other, which is tough because the menu is designed for you to throw together a bunch of different things.
I'll probably be back, if someone else is picking up the bill. | expensive place | null | null | 1 | 150 | bad | null |
We went as a church group, the food was very good and already planned what we would have, it is pricey place to eat, staff was nice the only part that was a disappointment, we all were given cheesecake at the end we had five couples at our table, we received one large piece of cheesecake which we cut into at the table to share with our spouse, some of us had to wait on our cheesecake till the point that others were all done eating theirs. Since this event was scheduled way in advance, this was something that should have been prevented.
Over all serve and food was awesome, would go again. The place is beautiful decorated and valet parking. I was very impressed for my first time. there was 64 total in our room, so it was a fun time. | great food, good service, expensive | very good | good | 2 | 142 | bad | null |
My friend and I decided to try out Green Eggs Café as we were looking for a place to brunch and this place was conveniently located. We walked in and was greeted and were told there was a going to be a small wait. During this time, we looked over the menu and noticed many great options. Within five minutes we were seated to our table and realized that all the portions were very large. After looking through the menu and seeing the dishes, we were ready to order.
I ordered the chicken and waffles eggs Benedict. This is the best of both worlds with the chicken and waffles and the eggs Benedict all in one dish. This dish comes with a side where you can choose between fruit, grits, or potatoes sautéed and peppers and onions. My friend ordered the short rib with hash brown and the side of potatoes.
The portions were huge just like we expected. The food was really good and just as I was anticipating. Having the sweetness of the waffles and the savory of the eggs benedict. Flavors were all there and very good. Be prepared to be stuffed! You'll definitely be rolling out of there! | great food | very good | null | 2 | 202 | null | null |
Yay - I'm a fan (....when I have a gift certificate or someone else is covering the tab....EEEEK). I enjoy the fact that, although the Keg is famous for it's steak, there is a good selection of alternative options (chicken, seafood, etc). The food has always been delicious and the service, pretty good.
Maybe this only stands out to me but I have noticed that the servers here seem to be split evenly between male and female. I don't know what it is but there is something off-putting to me about a restaurant who's front of house is staffed primarily with young women in teeny tiny outfits. To me that screams "Our food isn't that great but we like tips so check out the view ;)." Seems the Keg knows to let the food speak for itself - and it does!
Now on to price - it's expensive! Usually a once a year type event, but it should be noted that when I do come here it is because I want to indulge - and indulge I do! | great food, expensive place | very good | null | 2 | 178 | bad | null |
One of my favorite casual places on St. Pete Beach for food, fun, drinks, live music and an incredible view.
The dishes here are tasty and not bad in price. Our table had fish, chicken and shrimp tacos. As other reviewers shared, the "Wholly guacamole" is in an individually packaged cup, not made fresh, but was still delicious on the tacos.
The vodka lemonade drink special, with strawberries was tasty but, wow...really strong! Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten yet, but one drink went straight to my head. Good thing I had a mile walk back to my hotel to "sweat it out!"
I loved the acoustic guitar music and relaxed atmosphere here. We were seated just in time to see a wedding on the beach on a beautiful day with clear blue skies. | great food, fantastic ambience | very good | null | 2 | 135 | null | very good |
Check it. This place is pretty good. Its consistent, and that's got to count for something. They have good drink specials many nights, decent food (I think its just as good as some of the other joints on the street) and its got a few different vibes. They've got an upstairs jawn with a dj playing every now and again, they've got a downstairs jawn with a big TV for you Phillies or Eagles fans, and they've got the outdoor area dubbed the "Oasis". I am saying. It is a true Oasis. You've got to see it for yourself.
The service is pretty slow. If you've eaten at any other Ethiopian restaurant, this should be expected. | poor service, good ambience, good food | good | bad | 1 | 116 | null | good |
Norristown to the northwest of Philadelphia has its own food specialties and it is indeed the land of fried bologna sandwiches and zeps. One of the best places to try one of these foods is the venerable Lou's Luncheonette right on Main street. The interior - especially the wavy counter - looks cool .... like something from a bygone era. And then there are the zeps. A zep is kinda like a hoagie but it has only one thick cut meat in it and it doesn't have lettuce. There are several different types of zeps. It is def tasty and there is a hot peppers sauce on the counter to add to it. During the week, Lou's closes at 3 pm (later on the weekends) so make sure if you wanna eat a zep that you don't wait until after work! | good food, good ambience | good | null | 2 | 141 | null | good |
I have very mixed feelings about this place. On the one hand, it's warm and inviting and smells great inside. The women working there are very sweet and welcoming. The grill cook even dances as she works. juggling all the orders like magic...
On the other hand, my breakfast came up to 17 bucks because of all the hidden up-sell charges. Also, the ingredients, while handled beautifully, were of very low quality. The steak was one of those super cheap sorta steaks where they use meat glue to make it look like one piece of meat. It comes in it's own little sleeve and is really not a good piece of meat. But the woman spiced and cooked it perfectly.
The hash-browns (Which I got charged extra for even though I didn't specifically order them) were actually kind of like home fries but smooshed together until they resembled mashed potatoes that were crisped up. Tasty, but I told the woman taking my order that I just wanted what the meal came with minus grits.
They don't even make their own biscuits anymore. A shame.
The coffee was good and strong and kept full my entire time there. But I would go back simply because the staff, while a bit shady with the up-selling, were really sweet and accommodating. | good service, expensive place, okay food | neutral | good | 1 | 218 | bad | null |
I have been to all the cupcake places in town. I love their strawberry champagne cupcakes, but they aren't always there since they rotate the flavors. Part of the reason I like them is that their icing isn't so heavy, you'd end up with a tummy ache after two bites. The cakes are always moist. The only sad thing is it's sort of hidden next to Bluefin across the courtyard from the Frogs French Bistro. If you are in the Casas Adobles shopping center having Wildflower, Blue Fin or Sauce, head over and get a little something to end the meal just right. The top seller is their red velvet cupcake; very light moist cake and not too sweet or too rich...just right for me! They have two sizes options, so there is a "mini" size and a standard size, so I think anyone can get just the right amount.
Plus, if you are walking your dog in the area, they sell peanut butter dog treats. | great cupcakes | very good | null | 2 | 166 | null | null |
I had the thin sliced brisket with the blue cheese cole slaw on New Years Eve (see picture) and it was delicious. I like that you can just order it and they will deliver it right to you at Courtyard Brewery. A bunch of us ordered BBQ and it really put our little New Years Eve party over the top. Damien says that he slow cooks the meat and you can definitely tell. It's melt in your mouth delicious with a lot of flavor and not chewy at all.
Right now, Black Label is only a popup inside of Barrel Proof, but I am hoping that they have an actual store front soon. | great food | very good | null | 2 | 113 | null | null |
There's very few Sushi places I haven't tried yet in the area, so, I thought I'd check this one out because I was going to see a movie next door.
Done...check...not again...
The interior decor does not match the exterior. I was expecting something better. It looks like a casual dining restaurant on the inside...nothing to write home about.
The staff was friendly. I sat down at the sushi bar around 5pm. There was exactly 1 other group of diners sitting at a table.
The first thing I noticed was the food debris on the top of the glass refrigeration case and on the top counter space next to it. Old rice, cilantro and pieces of other food stuff abounded. The next thing I noticed (and that stayed constant throughout my meal) was that the sushi chefs left the sliding doors to the refrigeration cases open all the time. Then I noticed that the fish itself was not wrapped tightly in plastic wrap as is done in every other sushi place in the area. Fish is supposed to be re-sealed every time it's opened. Nothing was ever re-wrapped. I also noticed that all the fish had been pre-sliced! That's a no-no in anybody's book, as fish quality deteriorates immediate after being sliced. I've NEVER seen any other sushi place do this. The fish did not look as fresh as it could've been and I could tell by the taste that the quality and freshness were sub-par due to these practices. The Miso Soup? Salt bomb! I could barely do a few sips.
A couple of good points...the chicken skewers appetizer was good...juicy meat with a spicy sauce on it. Unfortunately, when asked, the sushi chef had no idea what the sauce was. The specialty Nigiri called Picachu, Moana and Speedy Gonzalez were tasty, even considering the quality of the fish. Especially the Moana, with Mango sauce and Macadamia nuts.
I have no other positives to speak about and I'm positive that I won't be returning unless they step up their game and the quality of their product, especially considering the $24.95 price point for the AYCE dinner... | expensive place, bad food, poor hygiene, bad ambience | bad | bad | 0 | 357 | bad | bad |
New taco truck on Milpas open at the Prestige car wash lot in the evenings after the car wash closes.
Fresh made tortillas and three tacos for $5 pulled me in while walking down Milpas street. Other items in the menu included tortas, gorditas and other standard taco truck fare but we went for the tacos, trying chicken, rajas con queso, barbacoa, chicharrones, and al pastor.
They were all fantastic. My only complaint was that I neglected to order more of them. The chicken was cooked perfectly without being dry. It paired well with the pico de gallo available at the truck. The rajas con queso had a perfect amount of cheese without getting too greasy. My taco al pastor had well seasoned pork that was not overcooked, as us often the case when I order the same elsewhere. The barbacoa was perhaps the standout, although only bu the slimmest of margins, as it had a perfect blend of flavor and tang. It was a bit messy though, but this is finger food. The chicharrones, a personal favorite order of mine at any taco establishment was a welcome mouthful of fat and flavor but it definitely yearned for the pico de gallo to help balance out the textures.
They have two small portable tables they set up for those wishing to eat immediately. At 7:15, just as they were finishing opening up for the night, the area was just starting to get crowded, and is definitely a welcome addition to the Milpas neighborhood.
I've seen them only here in the evenings on most nights but Monday. Somebody tell me if they ever set up elsewhere. | great food | very good | null | 2 | 275 | null | null |
Simply marvelous. I try to eat here at least once a month with friends. It's moderately priced and only semi-upscale. My friends and I can go out for a casual lunch with appetizers such as the miso or wanton soups, egg/spring rolls, and the delectable Angry Crab raggoon. I've also had wonderful dates here, the sushi is fresh and full of clean flavors. The Pad Thai is the best on the east coast in my opinion (I've tried it everywhere), and the other dishes are presented wonderfully and tastefully. It perfect for any affair. (BYOB)
Also, my close friend had her wedding catered by Mandarin Oriental and no quality was lost in the presentation or taste (and this was an outdoor wedding about a 1/2 hour away from their restaurant) It was professional and classy, perfect for the large wedding. | great food | very good | null | 2 | 140 | null | null |
Pleasantly surprised. I like.
Bar was pretty empty on a Saturday night around 8pm.
Wait staff was friendly. Beer selection was good. 14 or so on tap, another 30 or so in the fridge. $2 Kensingers while Phils games are on. Excellent.
Food was on the limited side, but they offered enough delectable treats to make decisions easy. My wife got the cheese burger, I got the vegetable gnocchi. Mine was good. Plenty of mushrooms.
My wife had an issue with her burger. She ordered medium well, and it came out medium rare. The bar tender and the server apologized for the error and the burger was promptly replaced.
Pricing was decent. And it definitely had an atmosphere that I could definitely get into. I will be there, again and again. | good ambience, good food, great service, inexpensive | good | very good | 2 | 131 | good | good |
Love the food of course, and I've came here multiple times. Today I decided to for breakfast alone, like yesterday. Only difference is that I waited at my table for LITERALLY 20 minutes before being served!!! I saw people coming in after me and having their orders taken immediately after sitting. I was told someone would come attend to me and here I was sitting for 20 minutes until I had to stop a nearby waitress and inform her of my long waiting time. She apologized and took my order soon after. I don't know if it was miscommunication with the staff or whatever, but I'm coming here to pay for good food AND GOOD SERVICE. I'm not the one to post reviews but this has to be said.. | good food, poor service | good | bad | 1 | 129 | null | null |
We made reservations online on Opentable for my birthday on February 13th. We got there and the hostess couldn't find our reservation. She asked us if we made reservation for the right restaurant. Um....yes I did. Then she asked us if we made reservation for the right city. Um..yeah I'm pretty sure I made it for Philadelphia. I had to show her my reservation on my phone. After that, we got seated after 5 minutes. Our waitress was really nice. The steak that we ordered was perfect. Perfect. Perfect. It had so much flavor. We also ordered the lobster Mac and cheese and it was honestly to die for. I got a little birthday cake, which was cute. Afterwards we walked to the bathroom in the downstairs area and took photos since the restaurant useto be an old bank. Then we chilled at the bar and ordered drinks. Their cocktails were delicious. I enjoyed everything from the moment we sat down to start our dinner. The hostess that night made me take a star away. I definitely made reservations and would not lie about it. And don't ask me if I made it for the right city. I'm definitely not an idiot. Other then that I had a great time here. | great food, okay service | good | neutral | 2 | 211 | null | null |
Service at this place was truly top notch. I mean they didn't rush to be friendly when I walked in but eventually it got better. I guess I'm not too picky! Seriously though the waiter was incredible and obviously local because he seemed to know about everything. I don't think I've had an individual experience with a server in my time in Santa Barbara so this is very refreshing.
Sushi was good, like good, not unforgettable. The half-off thing helps bring a lot of value to the sushi, you definitely feel like you get your money's worth unlike a lot of sushi restaurants here.
Bathroom is pretty decent, I don't know why I feel like this should be included but I saw someone else complain about it being dirty. There was a guy doing his hair or something though...strange.

My fiance and I came here late on a Thursday night after seeing a show at the Schermerhorn. We'd heard good things about The Southern, and since it's literally across from the theater we were excited to check it out for dinner.
We walked into the restaurant and were delighted by it's cute atmosphere and friendly hostess, who happily seated us even though we arrived right at closing time. Our delight ended as soon as we were seated.
Our waiter was clearly upset that he'd have to stay past closing time and seemed to take his disappointment out on us. He was perturbed that we actually wanted to read the menu and take our time deciding what we wanted to eat; after stopping by the table twice, asking us about drinks and appetizers, he not-so-kindly informed us that the kitchen was going to close soon, so we needed to make our decisions fast. Since we were feeling pressured, we ordered a bowl of gumbo to share as an appetizer as we decided on our entrees.
We finally decided on the fish and grits (me) and the pork chop (him) for our main courses. Just as we placed our order, a food runner came by with our gumbo, which was served lukewarm and almost completely devoid of seafood, sausage or vegetables. Upon first bite, we were both disappointed and angry with ourselves for blowing $9 on such mediocre brown soup.
When our entrees arrived, we were excited by the look and smell of our dishes. They appeared to be delicious! However, when we tasted our dishes, we were very disappointed. The fish was unseasoned, bland and overcooked, and covered with some sort of oily sauce that was otherwise tasteless. The grits were good, but not good enough to make the meal worth the nearly $30 we paid for it. The pork chop was huge, though portions of it were very fatty, and the potatoes, onions and spinach that accompanied it were all covered in a bacon fat-like grease that we both felt was overpowering and unnecessary. The chop also tasted like a ham steak - we weren't entirely sure what we were eating. We decided then and there that we wouldn't be returning to The Southern again.
It's pretty clear that, overall, we were disappointed by our experience at The Southern. The food is overpriced and really not good at all. We were also bummed that they didn't serve us biscuits, which we'd heard were delicious. For $30+/plate, we expected better. We'll go to Silo or Germantown Cafe next time. | poor service, poor food, expensive | very bad | very bad | 0 | 429 | bad | null |
Ordered delivery from here last night using Grubhub. I live in Fairmount and was surprised I was in their delivery radius. Definitely a good thing to note. My estimated delivery time was 45- 55 minutes and exactly 45 minutes later I got a call saying that my food had arrived. I met the $10 delivery minimum with an order of spicy tuna and shrimp tempura rolls. Both rolls were nicely prepared. They didn't fall apart when eaten with chopsticks or dipped into soy sauce. The spicy tuna wasn't overly spicy, but nothing some wasabi couldn't fix. There was also a generous amount of shrimp tempura in the roll.
I saved the menu and plan on ordering from here again. The rolls I tried were simple and exactly I wanted that day. The specialty rolls sounded good, as well. | good food | good | null | 1 | 138 | null | null |
Great Place--it is about time that the Southwest County area get a great BBQ place. My husband loves Pappy's and this is even better because it is closer! The ribs were amazing, fire and ice fried pickles were really good and dip that went with them really made them even better! Sweet potato fries were really good and so was the pulled chicken sandwich. There was a line most of the time that we were there, but it moved fast. The workers/servers were friendly and helpful. The manager was welcoming and answered all of our questions about menu items. Great find! | great food, great service | very good | very good | 2 | 101 | null | null |
I visited Ambrosia for the first time this weekend and decided to bring the whole family along. We made a reservation online a few days before, very convenient! I called to make sure they allowed children and was delighted to know that not only do they, but they pride themselves on being family owned and operated for generations. Due to my initial question regarding children, the individual who answered the phone made it a point to come to our table on the night of our dinner and welcome the little one in our group! It was a very thoughtful gesture. (We did not ask for a children's menu, and I did not see one, but every member of our group had leftover food and we ordered plenty of appetizers - so we were able to share everything).
My favorite starter by far was the pulpo - grilled octopus. Normally this is my husband's favorite and it's tough to prepare. Ambrosia hit it out of the park with beautiful presentation, great flavor, and wonderful texture. For the meal, I ordered the gnocchi with mushrooms. This was exactly what I thought of when I ordered - creamy, well served, and deliciously covered in mushrooms. I would order this again and again. The rest of the group was equally pleased with their selections: Veal Marsala, Gambiero (shrimp pasta), and Ravioli Alla Mama (cheese & spinach ravioli with pesto cream sauce).
Be sure to ask for a wine and/or cocktail menu as well as the dessert menu! Overall, fantastic service and delicious food. I hope to be there again soon! | great food, great service | very good | very good | 2 | 266 | null | null |
Love their food, avoid their delivery. It took them an hour to deliver a Cobb salad and I am literally around the corner from them on 19th and Market. Also, they no longer have the $5 wrap Mondays. It's $6 now.
Their Cobb salad is great, chicken Caesar wrap is also incredible. All of their wraps are incredible, but it's hard to find a place that uses real chicken and that's what makes the chicken Caesar wrap so finger-lickin' good!
Do not get the crispy chicken salad. The chicken is pounded to 2 mm thin and there is too much breading for the amount of chicken. Their taco salad left me severely disappointed. Other than that, I probably won't be ordering from them any time soon unless I go in person or order ahead. | okay food, poor service | neutral | bad | 1 | 134 | null | null |
If the stockpile of Katie's cups I have in my cupboard aren't convincing enough of how much I love this place maybe this review will suffice.
I have been here plenty of times and am never disappointed in the service or the food. All times I have visited there was a wait, even when we had a large party reservation, which may deter some but was a good sign to me. There's some cute street art & a mural outside that make for good photos while you wait.
Food: Seafood Beignet was my first beignet when I moved to NOLA & it didn't disappoint. If you're not into the savory pastry movement this isn't for you but it's a really cool twist on a NOLA classic. I think it depends on season but mine was filled with crawfish. I've had the omelet here and a benedict both well prepared; but the benedict was on a special menu that day.
Bottomless Mimosas: TBH this is why you come to Katie's & if not it's why you stay. Did I mention I've only visited during brunch? Anyways the plastic cups ( I favor over champagne flutes) are never empty & for $15 it's worth it.
Service: Go see Billy at the bar or is it William? It could be both take a chance & go see, they provided great service while we waited & even check on us after we were seated at a table. Gave us their card & when my friend returned 2 weeks later even remembered her name & the note we left them on the receipt.

This place was a life saver after the fiasco we had at a fast food chain a block or so up. So glad we found it when we did.
It was late, we were starving, and had just been treated awful at another place.
The line here was long, but we decided to wait it out instead of search for somewhere else.
They got us in and our pretty quickly. All of our food was correct and so good. And the staff was a breath of fresh air after dealing with the staff down the road. They were friendly and courteous, despite how busy they were, and made sure we were good to go before sending us off. | good service, good food | good | good | 2 | 118 | null | null |
Just don't go here. There are other places to eat in the area. I rarely go here but did a to go order to save time. Like clockwork, when I go to pick it up it's not ready and I had to wait 7 minutes for the staff to even acknowledge me even though they were all staring at me. So finally a guy forces a girl to handle my order and she has no idea what to do. There goes more time. She didn't give me a soup and acted like it was a big deal to need to help me. She actually pawned off my order on some guy. I hate this location and will most likely never be back because it is not worth the hassle I deal with every time I go.

I used to go to this Subway on an occasional basis to grab a quick bite for lunch or dinner. Last November was the last time I will ever step foot back into this location. I came in with 2 coupons. Usually most places will run two separate charges so using 2 coupons isn't a big deal. I ordered my sandwiches and went to checkout. The owner refused to honor the second coupon and gave me an attitude. Honestly, the customer service in this location sucks. Owner also did not give me the corporate napkins too, which could possibly be a violation of their franchise agreement.

My wife and I went in after a Preds game to get a glass of wine and wait for traffic to die down. My wife was "greeted" by a man with a suit and tie. The man was very rude and told my wife they were fully booked until 9:45. Mean while I had grabbed a cocktail table on the patio. My wife was so put off by the employee that she walked out of the restaurant. I saw her walking down the street and called her back into the restaurant. We had a glass of wine, paid and left. The employee was in a suit, had a plaid tie. My company had Il Mulino on our list for future business meetings (which is often) but I will remove from the list. Suprising how someone in the service industry could be so careless. By the way, there were three empty cocktail tables on the patio when we arrived. | very bad service | null | very bad | 0 | 158 | null | null |
3 stars only cause some of my people enjoyed there meals.. (and the service was overall good)
I tend to believe that everyone and everything should be enjoyed .. my biggest disappointment is when they can't get your food to the table hot.. HELL warm would of been nice even .. my added lobster was room temp and rubbery.. my guests burger was really over cooked and you could tell it sat due to the cheese had gotten hard on the edges and his side order of garlic mash was room temp to touch and grey looking
After three opportunities to remove the old plates and the end of the table (right in from of me & guest) as the pile grew .. and as the entrees were coming I had just stood up and removed the used plates to a side tray .. server says oh thank you I'd of gotten that.. three strikes and I do it for myself !!

Melograno absolutely wins restaurant week.
This BYO is tucked into Samson street, not far from village whiskey. The restaurant week menu had almost as many options as their normal menu.
I started with a Pinsa (fun fact: That's the Latin word for Pizza) that had the best mozzarella I've ever eaten, continued onto the Shrimp and Fennel Risotto. (HOW did they infuse the risotto with that amazing goat cheese taste?!) and finished out the night with tiramisu.
All of those items are on their normal menu and I highly recommend you go try them.

I visit the Mercer Tavern for the first time with several friends on a Saturday night. The ambiance is nice but the music was obscenely loud, it might be more tolerable during the week perhaps. I was really pleased they had some vegetarian/vegan options on the menu. I had the quinoa salad and it was delicious but a very small portion for the $8 they charged. Literally about the size of small side salad. Other menu items and the drinks seemed equally overpriced. Service was okay. Overall it was an average experience and although the food was good, I wasn't impressed by the inflated prices and probably won't bother returning. | good food, very overpriced | good | null | 0 | 110 | very bad | null |
This was one of the most disappointing places I have gone to all my spring break. I called this place around 5:00 pm to make a reservation for 12 because I know how busy it can be for spring break. We were set for a 7:30 reservation and was all ready. Once I have arrived I saw a sign that said, "Please seat yourself". At this point I started to worry because I saw a decent sized line out the door. This place was understaffed and the management was awful. People there have been waiting for hours just to get a seat. We went up and tried to ask where our reservation was and no one could help us. If this place seems crowded, don't waist your time and wait because odds are you won't get a seat. | very poor service | null | very bad | 0 | 138 | null | null |
If you're a potential customer: this pizza tastes great! If you don't care about ingredients or GMOs, go ahead and indulge.
If you're the owner or someone affiliated with the company, please pass this review along. We could not find a website to contact them.
We discovered this pizza at Whole Foods, when Geadello's owner was on site for a tasting. My husband fell in love with the taste of the whole wheat pie, and so we began scanning the list of ingredients. When I asked the owner about the "OIL" in the pizza (very disappointed that it is not made any clearer for customers), he mentioned using a mix of olive oil and canola oil. CANOLA??
This pizza is supposedly made of healthy, local ingredients and yet, they choose to use Canola oil?? Not only has the erucic acid in canola oil been shown to cause heart damage in animal studies, but almost all canola crops in North America are GMO. Canola oil consumption has been linked to vitamin E deficiency and a shortened life span, and research has found some trans fats in canola oil, which were created during the heavy processing that it goes through.
According to the Weston A. Price Foundation: "Like all modern vegetable oils, canola oil goes through the process of caustic refining, bleaching and degumming, all of which involve high temperatures or chemicals of QUESTIONABLE safety. And because canola oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which easily become rancid and foul-smelling when subjected to oxygen and high temperatures, it must be deodorized. The standard deodorization process removes a large portion of the omega-3 fatty acids by turning them into trans fatty acids... research at the University of Florida at Gainesville, found trans levels as high as 4.6% in commercial liquid oil... they are not listed on the label".
So... back to the pizza...
While this pizza does taste delicious (although a bit "bready" after a few slices, according to my husband), we unfortunately won't buy it. We support local companies and farmers, and would love to stand behind you on this. But please remove the canola oil from your pizza, and properly label your products so that we know everything that goes into it.
And how about choosing all organic ingredients? We'd have no qualms about paying a little extra for a tasty pizza that actually doesn't destroy your health. Local & organic, now that's a true statement! | good food, unhealthy ingredients | good | null | 1 | 406 | null | null |
This is a very nice dining restaurant. The staff was very courteous and funny, although I wish they would've wore professional uniforms/server outfits. Our waiter just had on jeans and a shirt, but very nice. The food was great, I ordered the shrimp and grits which was very flavorful. The other girls ordered meat and chicken, and it all looked good as well. The bread was very fresh and came with a good butter option. I tried the creme brûlée and wow! Very good. I would go back, but I would get meat if I go back or something else since my shrimp wasn't my favorite, but nonetheless, it was a good experience! | nice food, good experience | very good | null | 2 | 113 | null | null |
Honestly as much as I usually love going to Chipotle, I have to stop coming to this one. I feel like the employees are usually newer/training and the line is very slow. I don't have time for this on my lunch break. They also give super small portions unless you ask for more or double. And double seems to me like a regular sized portion. I have also seen lots of comments regarding hard, uncooked rice. This has not happened to me but it did happen to a coworker of mine recently. Also, I went in the other day and a customer wasn't asked for his child who was older to put on a mask until they were being rung up already about to leave. They should expect that of everyone old enough to wear a mask as soon as they walk through the door. If you have the time, go to the one in La Cumbre. It's much better than the Goleta location! :) | poor service, food not great | neutral | bad | 0 | 165 | null | null |
Excellent Poki! Wow I am so impressed. I am so glad this place exists in Nashville now, because I have been craving Poki for a year since returning from Hawaii! I will say though that The Poki isn't traditional Hawaiian Poki but it definitely tastes close enough and a very good adaptation of it! You get to choose from regular or large bowels, fish, toppings, sauces, and garnishes. They also have signature bowls if you are too lazy to pick out something good yourself! The customer service was excellent and they take their time explaining everything to you!

I was really excited to try this place because they had baked rolls!!! Bring on the lion King roll.
We started off with:
CC - crab, cream cheese, veggies in a fried wonton roll
Miso Soup - Really Really Good!
Calamari - Fried Rings
Baked Mussels - Standard AYCE Appetizer, Always Good.
Rolls & Nigiri:
Lion King - Baked Salmon Roll
Baked Scallop Roll - Scallops on top of a California Roll w/ spicy mayo
Hangover - Salmon, Lemon, Jalapeño, Ponzu Sauce, Crystal shrimp, and hot sauce
Samurai - Spicy Tuna, Habanero, Baked Roll - Eat with the Lettuce!!!
Philadelphia Roll - Smoked Salmon, Creamed Cheese, avocado
Playboy - Tuna, shrimp, crab, avocado , garlic Ponzu sauce, teriyaki, and fried onion
Salmon Maki - Salmon, Mayo, Onion
Donald Duck
Mickey Mouse
Hamachi Nigiri
The nigiri was fresh and delicious and came in large portions, no need to order more after what we got for two people.
The baked rolls were a little disappointing - the baked rolls tasted, well BURNT. Like they had been torched and allowed to get that hard charcoal taste without actually having any burned or charred areas. Maybe need to clean the oven? The samurai roll was good as eaten with the lettuce provided. Could barely finish it without the lettuce though. The lion king and baked scallop rolls both were over powered with the taste of mayo - not spicy mayo - just mayo. The alarming part was that the rolls were cold on the inside and the rice was really hard like the rolls were frozen or refrigerated before they were baked.
The raw rolls were pretty good - standard philly roll.
The hangover roll was pretty good would definitely get it again. I think the jalapeño saved it from being too bland. Definitely hit the spot if you like the standard 49er/Sierra roll - adds a little kit to it.
The playboy was very different but I liked it. It has a variety of flavors with shrimp, crab, and tuna. The garlic Ponzu sauce and teriyaki sauce were very complimentary and well portioned.
The restaurant isn't' very busy and we were seated immediately in the corner. The ambiance is calm and quiet, lots of Asian décor. The service was still a bit slow and the server seemed to be put-out by our questions. She was nice enough to ask if we wanted to continue our order as we began to slow down our eating. The baked rolls just weren't good - so we did our best to finish them. $25 for AYCE dinner - not bad.
Service - 4 stars
Nigiri - 5 stars
Rolls - 4 stars

We just moved here from Alabama about 3 weeks ago and out of 4 different pizza places we've tried Marinos is by far the BEST!!!! The owners/staff were so welcoming and helpful. The hubby and I got a small pizza to split, my half roasted red peppers and spinach, his half spinach and mushroom. The crust was so crispy and light and the sauce.. OMG sooooo good!!!!!! This is definitely the best pizza I've ever had and is our new go to spot.
They serve hoagies, fries, chew stakes and more but with how good the pizza was it'll definitely be a difficult choice next time we visit | great food, nice service | very good | very good | 2 | 108 | null | null |
Took the plunge and decided to try something new and adventurous before a beer festival today. I needed food that was satisfying and would serve as a good beer sponge. Went on Yelp while visiting the Humane Society of Tampa Bay and found West Tampa Sandwich Shop. I had seen this place on the news before and it has been described as a hole in the wall. I'm a MAJOR fan after testing this!! Amazing honey cuban sandwich!!! Make sure you take a trip here!!
The parking is limited and the shop is tiny. It has about 10 tables and a diner style bar to sit at. You can order your food to go, which I saw many people do while I was there. It is divey, but well established and very clean. I am in love with this place.
Food is incredibly priced. I got the Honey Cuban "Obama Sandwich" and the Yuca Frita. OMG so good!!! I got the large sandwich for $4.95 and the Yuca was $2.50. So much food!! Many people were ordering empanadas for $2.50. This place is a gem. GO! I am posting the menu so you can see the value...everything looked amazing and I will definitely go back. | great price, terrific food, good ambience | very good | null | 2 | 205 | very good | good |
So we got delivery from m this spot last week. We have been customers here for a long time the food has always been what you expect from a wing spot. They usually forget the sauces but whatever. This time the driver owed me a little over 7 dollars and change. He handed me the food and then 2 dollars. He then stood there thumbing through a huge wad of money for two really awkward minutes waiting for me to be like "just keep the five and change". Finally he looked up and said he'd have to go back to the store to get my change. I told him "yes please do" and he never returned. The delivery fee on top of his mandatory 35-40% tip made it relatively expensive. This nieghborhood is chock full of cheap takeout places and this place ain't that cheap at the end of the day | expensive place, poor service | null | bad | 0 | 151 | bad | null |
I have been passing this place for months and finally decided to stop for breakfast on my last day off. The restaurant is sort of has an home town country feel to it. The prices were about average. I ordered the Western Skillet. It turned out to be a load of hash-browns on a plate topped with a cut up processed chicken fried steak, topped with a scrambled egg. I personally thought it looked like a plate of someone Else's leftovers. With that being said, my partner ordered biscuits and gravy. He got a plate with 2 biscuits sliced in half with gravy on top for $5.99. The 2 plates and a coffee plus tips was $25.00. Honestly, I did not eat most of my plate and left wishing I would have stopped at McDonald's for a Sausage, egg and Cheese biscuit. I have no desire to go back. | poor food, expensive place | bad | null | 0 | 149 | bad | null |
The Whistling Kettle is one of those places that has been around forever but flies completely under the radar. No social media that I can find, but #iykyk.
Old school diner with a simple, small menu full of #yegcheapeats. It's dated and sparsely decorated, but the coffee is kept topped up and the food is fast and delicious. Run by the sweetest Asian family, this local spot has both breakfast and lunch options.
They were busier before covid, so they can use the extra love and support. If you're looking for an old school greasy-spoon diner on the North, give them a try! | ambience okay, good food | good | null | 2 | 103 | null | neutral |
My wife and I went here for brunch. I ordered the scrambled eggs with bacon, potatoes, and white toast. She ordered one of the specials, which was a crab cake/egg/bacon thing on toast. The crab cake thing she ordered was AMAZING! My wife is from Maryland, so she's picky about crab cakes. She loved it! It also had a delicious aioli on it, which I stole a little bit of to eat with my eggs. I would go back just for that crabcake thing.
I gave this review 4 stars out of 5. While my wife's dish was amazing, mine was so-so. One of my toast pieces was burned. My eggs were average. The potatoes were really good and the bacon was cooked the way I asked (extra crispy).
Service was good. | good service, good food | good | good | 2 | 132 | null | null |
So, if you've ever had this shop's counterpoint, Pinkberry, this may be a disappointment. This new frozen yogurt craze honestly has me pretty excited. I've had Pinkberry, and sure, there are quite a few differences, and Pinkberry IS better, but I fell in love with Fro-Yo.
I was so excited, mostly because we had nothing like it only months ago.
It's all self service, so that's pretty cool, though I felt like I was back in the dorms. You pay by the ounce which sounds pretty great, but it can end up being expensive when you're not paying attention to your portions. The toppings are self serve too which is a pleasant surprise. Though the toppings aren't extremely fresh, they do have a good variety of fruits, candies, and granola.
Fro-Yo has quite a few flavors, but I only had the original tart (fantastic!) and I had a sample of the New York Cheesecake. That was definitely one I'll go back for.
I reserved my last star even though I loved it for a few reasons.
- The only reason I knew I could get a sample was because I read a few Yelp reviews mentioning it. They weren't visible, and the guy at the counter almost seemed annoyed I asked.
- Brings me to my second point being that the guy at the counter REALLY didn't seem to care that he was employed. Not that it really mattered to me because I literally only needed him to check me out. However, I asked about one of the toppings and he didn't even know what it was! Useless! Honestly, they could probably replace his position with a self checkout like the grocery store.
- My last reason for that last star? It's NOT Pinkberry.....but the taste is damn close! | nice food, poor service | very good | bad | 2 | 299 | null | null |
Why didn't we try this place all this while despite having passed it a couple of hundred times on Lincoln Hwy? Steve's makes a seriously good cheese steak that it could easily be called "King of Steaks".
We got caramelized onions on both our orders. I went with Provolone and I convinced my wife to get the cheese wiz. The hot sauce and the array of peppers in the self serve bar are the perfect condiments to go on this meaty creation. We also got the hot and spicy fries which were pretty crisp and had a seasoning akin to a spicier old bay. The combo hit our grease spot dead center.
The cheese wiz proved a bit too heavy for my wife but she demolished the entire sandwich nevertheless. She said that she'd definitely go with regular cheese the next time we are here. | great food | very good | null | 2 | 145 | null | null |
This is my favorite Starbucks ever thanks to the barista (her name starts with a C, I believe) who made my drink, a double shot on ice, perfectly and without a second thought or even an eye roll. She seemed happy to be there! The manager at the counter, however, named Jeff, was absolutely rude to me. He acted visibly annoyed with me while taking my order, and had a mocking tone to his voice. I could tell he didn't want to "deal" with me. I was polite as can be but he definitely woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Seems to me like the barista and manager should switch positions. She is much more customer friendly than he is and served me with sweet hospitality and a warm smile. She is the only reason I will return. | good but not great service | null | good | 1 | 141 | null | null |
Im giving this place straight up 5 stars because the food was EXCELLENT, the service was very good, and I enjoyed the atmosphere very much, reminded me of Portland, and sure enough, one of the guys working there is from Portland and they were shooting for that sort of atmosphere. Long Picnic tables outside, corn hole set up, very urban and fun. I highly recommend it, and it's only been here since 2015! The beer is also good, all brewed in-house.
As for the food, it was delicious. They have a nicely rounded menu full of southern comfort style meals. Lena and I had the shrimp and grits, which was probably my second time ever having this dish, very very tasty. We also had fried chicken-some of the best I've had, as well as mashed potatoes and gravy and collard greens-also one of my favorite southern dishes. They even had pepper and garlic infused vinegar on the table to compliment the food. I'll just say, you gotta try it. Price is not bad either. If you "check-in" on yelp you get a free 5oz pour of beer. There is really no reason not to give this place a shot!! | nice food, great service, good ambience | very good | very good | 2 | 199 | null | good |
Went for dinner and drinks 3/1/2020. When being seated the table wouldn't accommodate our group of 4 so we asked to another table since they had 10 or more available. This created problems and really upset the 3 hostess. You could tell the three hostess working lacked any restaurant training or basic customer service skills. They were so happy we left almost laughing when we left. I'm not sure where the manager was but we left. We have to host an event for 10 to 15 people this week as part of a conference so we're trying a few places out. Glad we found out this place wasn't a good choice before we subjected our customer to their service. With that said be careful if you are entertaining clients and choosing this place. They have a good bourbon selection but there are many other great choices and places to spend money. We had an excellent dinner at Felix's and probably save a few hundred dollars. | very poor service | null | very bad | 0 | 165 | null | null |
We had lunch here today. We had tried this place some decade ago, and were not impressed. But recent great Yelp reviews brought us in for "Caldo de Res", Mexican style beef & vegetable soup.
Unlike prior visits, everything was good, to very good today.
The servings of caldo and beef were enormous; had we known, we'd have split one.
The usual chips, salsa, etc were OK.
Seems that something here has happened to improve the food, service, and appearance of the place.
This will be back on our "to visit" list, as we saw some other offerings that looked very good, too.
Stay tuned,

The food is delicious but service is HORRIBLE and no matter how good the food is it makes you never want to go back! I went yesterday (Sat) with a party of 9. We were gratefully seated very quickly but that is my last compliment. We ordered the first round of drinks and it took 25 minutes before we received them (beers were EXTREMELY warm btw). We asked for the second round and it took an additional 35 mins all without the waitress being around long enough to order any food. We had 2 ppl who came in 15 mins after we were seated and when they gave the name the hostess said with attitude "I don't know who that is, go look around" even though it's clearly the name we gave to be seated and we told them there will be 2 more joining us before we sat. After we finally order our meals 2 hours into our visit, it took another 45 mins to receive our meal. In total it took us 3+ hrs to finally leave when we are looking to spend 1.5 at max. When we called the manager over he stated that he had just arrived and comp'd a round but overall it did not seem that anyone was very concerned about the horrible experience. I will not return and will warn anyone I know to not visit as well. What a disappointment! They only got 2 stars bc of the food! | terrible service | null | very bad | 0 | 247 | null | null |
In town visiting and wanted good quality and healthy food. Enter: Leafy Greens Cafe.
Alright so, I was a pretty strict vegetarian for like 15 years, but not so much anymore. Well, not at all anymore. And, even with my propensity to enter vegetarian/vegan establishments, I was still a little frightened by the menu - pretty extreme!
However, boom! I was really shocked at how amazing everything was!
I had "The Real Deal" and was totally skeptical of the "Raw Onion Bread." But it was sooooo tasty that I couldn't have imagined the dish without it. Also, it was only $11, which is crazy cheap considering the high quality ingredients. I recommend this dish to anyone!
I will go back next time I'm visiting St. Pete and have already recommended it to a bunch of people! | terrific food, great price | very good | null | 2 | 136 | very good | null |
This is a cozy cafe on a corner very near where I live. I have been going there for about a year and a half. I hope it's going to be one of the restaurants Robert Irvine is helping on the next season of Restaurant Impossible!
At first, it was a great, cheap breakfast place but it's been sliding downhill quickly and more so since they now serve dinner (I can only imagine...) and have a liquor license.
We made the mistake once of ordering a hamburger and specifically asked if they would serve it rare and were told no problem. What we got was no better than an old hockey puck. It was cooked past well done. Waitress acted stupid and said that's how they serve them and when questioned about our asking claimed we didn't ask for it rare. We left immediately.
Another time for breakfast, we were ignored by our server most of the time and the bacon ordered was also past cooked to death bordering on incinerated and never should have seen a plate.
The "New Mexico" cuisine hasn't helped and if you offer a sopapilla, you should learn how to cook them!
Today for breakfast I ordered my eggs over easy and got them pretty hard cooked. I guess the deal there is to cook everything to death and hope people don't notice? My grandson wanted a hot dog and were told they went rancid and they didn't have any. It takes a long time for hot dogs to go rancid, so someone is not checking the food on a regular basis, ew.
Also, the serving staff, while very nice always seem to not know what's going on from one moment to the next. And you can tell who the favorite's are by the better treatment and attention they get.
Even as close as it is and would be a nice place to walk for a good breakfast, I'm going to have to look further. | terrible food, bad service | very bad | bad | 0 | 330 | null | null |
All wrong. Wrong look, wrong temperature, wrong smell, and wrong taste. The hot saki was the only right. We ordered $75 ( 4 rolls, 2 sashimi, soft shell crab appetizer, and 2 hot saki). We only ate three bites of the food and spit out 2. We asked for the bill early and stated we would not be taking any with us. Let her know we spit some out. No credit to our bill or interest of a manager. We paid in full and tipped 20%. We love sushi but won't ever go back. We never write bad reviews but this deserved it. | terrible food | very bad | null | 0 | 103 | null | null |
This place is really, really good. Really, really hard to find, but pretty awesome.
After wandering (and usually getting disappointed) by the Uptown/Bywater 'Cue Joints, we took a ride outside the of the usual areas and headed to Gentilly. This joint is located on Milton between Frenchmen and Elysian Fields, tucked a bit back from the road immediately beyond a small mechanic's shop.
The decor is pretty unassuming, but the place is kept up and clean. Once you enter the joint, you order at what looks like a bar, but is not stocked/used as one. The drinks are mostly cans/bottles. A no-frills kind of place. Believe it or not, they also have barbecue! Probably should get to that part...
We arrived with a decent crew, so we ordered all the meats and sides in the form of two combos with a link. They have Beef Ribs, Pork Spareribs, White and Dark Chicken, and Sausage. The sides were Potato Salad, Baked Beans, Mac & Cheese, and Mixed Veggies.
On to the MEAT!
Beef Ribs - These were awesome. Hands down the best in town. Big, meaty, and tender. All of the meat had a nice smoke ring and a solid hickory flavor. The fat was rendered to a level of delicious guilty pleasure that is often hard to hit. The big concern when we were served was the generous use of barbecue sauce - which I am usually not a fan of at all. The King Sauce was surprisingly excellent. It was a thinner version of a standard sauce. I would guess it had molasses and vinegar added to a heavy tomato base. Whatever it was, is was almost the star of the show - but still a distant second to the Pitmaster. I could not tell if a dry rub was used because of the heavy sauce.
Pork Spareribs - These suckers were really good, too. They are the full slab ribs, not the typical St. Louis trim style. While you get a bigger rib, you also get that annoying cartilage as you dig for every little bit of smokey deliciousness. Very tender, great pull on the bone, and nice smoke. A really good rib. Like the Beef Rib, these suckers were sauced to all get out - which was once again really tasty.
Chicken - Since we had an entire half Chicken we tried both the White and Dark Meat. It was delicious. The dark meat was incredible - tender, juicy, smokey, and sauced up. I can't really say enough about the King's Sauce. The white meat of good, with the breast 'cued about perfect.
The SIDES!
I am going to lump them all together in this review. They were nothing special. They did the job, and did not add or detract from the meal. I would guess the Mac & Cheese and Potato Salad were not homemade, and were pretty bland. The veggies were steamed veggies, and not anything spectacular. The baked beans appeared to be from the can.
As seen from my usual reviews, most of the sides around town appear to be pretty horrendous. Although the beans were probably from a can, at least they were not crunchy! The fact they didn't blow it with the sides is a good thing.
THE VERDICT!!!
Overall, I was surprised that I enjoyed sauce on my 'cue! Definitely an exception. The sides were just kinda there, but did not hurt the experience. I am going Four and a Half Stars on these guys (half a star loss for the sides), which gets rounded up to a NOLA Record Tying Score of FIVE STARS!!!
Get out there and check out the little place that have been doing it right was a long time - I am pretty sure this 'Cue Joint is a off shoot of H&P Bar B-Q Masters of days gone by. | very good food | very good | null | 2 | 644 | null | null |
This is the holy grail of poke bowls but also acai bowls and lots of other things.
Upon entry you'll notice plenty of outdoor seating, themed decor and menu screens for DAYS. Don't worry, the pleasant staff will walk you through all of it with a smile.
We went for two poke bowls, big kahuna style for more protein, and proceeded to add the literal world to our bowls like mango, masago (fish eggs), crunchy garlic, you name it!
It was a little tricky to eat the packed bowl given that it's served in a cone-shaped dish, so I'd recommend getting it in the flat-bottomed to-go box instead.
I also tried the Hawaii Five-O boba tea, which was delicious but I felt a little small for the price when compared to other local boba tea joints.
The menu is chock-full of desserts like dole whip and warm specials like curry. They really do have everything. We will absolutely be back again and again. | nice service, good ambience, good food | good | very good | 2 | 163 | null | good |
UPDATE:
Initially, I was giving 2 stars however, I changed to three stars simply because the quality of service escalated upon departure.
As we were leaving, the server brought our take out boxes and I explained we weren't going to take the food with us. Points scored for noticing that. It seems a manager noticed and saw we didnt really eat much of anything and adjusted the bill. This was nice and appreciated. We would have still paid regardless.
I'm hoping this review isn't perceived as mean but rather an attempt to provide feedback as is the intent of reviews. Food quality is key and it's something they need to work on. I will be back for breakfast and I am hoping perhaps this will be more of a morning joint and maybe I didnt go at the right time of day. Although, improvements should still be made to the lunch menu.
Disappointed. Too pricey and the quality of the food doesn't match the price point.
I wasn't sure why we were told there was a 30 minute wait time with at least 6 tables clean and open for use. We stayed, as I knew it wouldn't be 30 minutes - it was 15 at best.
The decor is dinerish with counter top seating and comfortable booths.
Now, the food. The bacon cheese fries were served warm not hot and the fried green tomatoes were dripping grease. The sauce was the same for both appetizers. With the availability of condiments at a diner, I think they need to stretch a bit more on different sauces. The burgers were, well, burgers. Nothing special. They are cooked to order which is nice and not typical for diners as you get what the cook serves. I did ask for jalapeños to be added to my burger. When it arrived I didnt see any so I asked if they used fresh or pickled. I was told fresh and was brought more to add. When I saw the jalapeños I did explain those were pickled and not fresh. The dill potato salad was weak and tasted watered down. Good idea as I have had awesome dill potato salad (Barrow's Gourmet on Henderson). Potato salad should be thick and creamy whether dill, egg or mayo is the base.
The most disappointing part for me was when the server noticed I needed more coffee, she said she would fill it when the coffee finished brewing. This wasn't the heart of breakfast, it was after 12noon. Rule #1 - when running a diner, ALWAYS have coffee readily available. When she brought the coffee, I had to ask for cream and use the handle end of my fork to stir. Also, There were only two sugar packets left on the table for me to use which I pointed out yet I wasn't offered more sugar.
I believe the server is new to the industry as even my 13 year old son noticed the difference in the skill level from other spots we frequent. In time, she will get there and she was friendly and courteous. Another server did ask if we wanted a bag to take our boxed leftovers home and again my son saw the difference in service meaning she recognized a customer need and was willing to assist.
Overall, they have a long way to go. Service is good but needs some fine tuning. The food needs much more TLC. This area has been waiting for a joint like this and sadly, we still are....
P.S. We didnt take any food home even though we boxed it - it wasn't good there and that wasn't going to change if we took it home. | improved service, bad food | bad | good | 1 | 616 | null | null |
I was staying at a hotel not too far from here and when I looked up places nearby this restaurant came up. Parking was super easy and it wasn't super crowded on a Sunday. When we walked in there was no one there to take our name but a nice lady that was also waiting for a table told me to go around to the register and put my name down.
We waited about 10 minutes for a table which wasn't horrible. The waitress was very friendly and came over right away to take our drink orders. About five minutes later she was back to take our order and I noticed she wrote some of what we ordered but not everything. At first I just assumed she had great memory since some servers do but I was wrong when our order didn't come out as we wanted.
We were too hungry to send it back and just ate it as it came.
The food took a very long time to come out maybe about 20 mins which I find that to be very long for breakfast since most of the items cook rather quickly.
The food was okay a little bit blend for my taste, I never add salt to my food and I had to for this meal.
I do have to say the chicken fingers that came with my waffles were amazing and the bacon was super crispy :) | okay service, okay food | neutral | neutral | 1 | 241 | null | null |
The menu has something for everyone and the beer list is impressive! They offer you 2 1-oz. pours on the house, so I was excited to try a few craft beers on tap. For dinner, I ordered the BBQ Chicken Salad and it was SO DELICIOUS! I also shared the french fries with my Mom (who ordered a burger and said it was delicious), and the waitress brought out several different types of BBQ sauces, which were quite tasty. We also ordered a Blackened Chicken Torta sandwich for takeout & my husband said it was one of the best sandwiches he has ever eaten.

I've heard mixed reviews of this new place, but recently heard that they've ironed things out a bit. I went to try it with some friends and we really enjoyed our experience.
The three of us walked in at 12:30pm on a Friday, and there was a pretty hefty line waiting for us. The line goes relatively quickly considering how many pizzas they're making, but if you're in a rush, My Pie isn't a good choice. The line was almost non-existent at 1:15 though, so plan accordingly.
All together, we ordered one portion of garlic knots, two pies, and a chocolate chip cookie. This was a good amount for three people, and we ended up taking a half a pie to-go.
My friends ordered the Sneaky Salami, and they said it was fantastic; the Salami had a very good flavor to it, and the pizza was very well-made.
I created a custom vegetarian pizza, and it was very satisfying. I could tell how fresh the ingredients were. The flavors were really exceptional.
We shared a chocolate chip cookie, and it was PHENOMENAL. Sure, it's almost $3, but it's very large and can be shared easily between three people.
Now for the show stopper: THE GARLIC KNOTS. These things were to die for. The bread was so fresh; the outside crusts were perfectly toasted to golden-brown, and the insides were cloud-like pockets of piping hot goodness. One bite sent us all into a trance. The powerful burst of chopped garlic. The sharp tang of fresh Parmesan. The comforting smoothness of olive oil. All the ingredients were of the perfect proportions to make an unforgettable experience.
There are many great things about My Pie, but I'll certainly be dreaming about those knots for while. | great food | very good | null | 2 | 292 | null | null |
Stopped in this place last night to check it out. It's located in the old Criallo's spot. It has nice ambience especially after a hectic week. We were seated quickly in a booth and our waiter was knowledgeable and super friendly. I ordered the chicken piccata. It was delicious. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the pasta was fresh. After dinner, the owner stopped by our table to thank us for coming in. He shared a little about the restaurants philosophy of never frozen and fresh products. It was an enjoyable evening. I will definitely be back. This may be my new "go-to". | great service, tasty food, good ambience | very good | very good | 2 | 103 | null | good |
Yeah, it's the 'local ice cream place' - but they don't make their own ice cream. They also don't seem to take the best care of it. Both cones we got had ice cream that plainly had been melted and refrozen, with big ice crystals and rubbery places. (A coffee and a blueberry cheesecake.)
If I wanted supermarket quality ice cream, I'd go to Shoprite and buy a gallon for the cost of one cone at Creanies. I suspect the good rating comes down only to nostalgia, not actual experiences. (And my childhood ice cream places made their own in house.)
They only get a second star because they're open all year. | bad food | bad | null | 0 | 112 | null | null |
Met the cofounder, Ralph Rubio, who is a very nice and informative guy. The staff is super pleasant. This location is super clean. There is indoor and outside seating.
I tried the Oaxacan Shrimp Bowl and the Oaxacan Shrimp Taco... amazing. The shrimp have nice grill marks and seemed super fresh. The tacos are street style, so they are the size of your palm, which is perfect so you can indulge in plenty!
The oaxacan shrimp taco consist of cotija cheese, oaxacan sauce(loved it), guac, cilantro, & onions.
The bowl had shrimp, oaxacan sauce, black beans and rice, guac, pico de gallo, romain lettuce strips, and tortilla chips.
The guac, unlike some other places, is for no extra charge on most dishes here.
A plus is that Rubio's has a reward system, so download the app! | great service, nice ambience, good food | good | very good | 2 | 136 | null | good |
I will not return! Place was empty and no silverware after we got our food for at least 10 minutes. I asked for more salsa when we got our food and we were told we reached our limit. We had two tiny bowls and a medium sized one for 4 people while we waited for our food. The manager came over and didn't even offer the option to purchase more salsa. I love salsa on tacos and ended up taking soggy tacos home. Too many other delicious options for Mexican food here in Tucson to waste your time here.

I ordered drinks from King Fu Tea and they gave me the wrong drinks. No big deal right? Well, I called them right after and nobody answers. It was late so we just threw the drinks away and called back the next day and spoke with Jin who said it was "beyond my authority" to give a $9.63 refund. I called the owner Amy who also refused to give me a refund despite having a receipt. She said "the receipts mean nothing" and demanded I get both drinks out of the garbage then make a 30 minute round trip to the store in order to get a refund. She offered store credit, but no thank you. I'm never coming back to this place after this experience. | terrible service | null | very bad | 0 | 126 | null | null |
I write this after being a close neighbor whose family had frequent take out over the last 5 years. We like the Family meal which consists of 1lb of meat, 2 sides, & their bread. Well we are gluten & dairy allergic so we go with green beans & would like dry potatoes. We have been ordering this meal like this for 5+ years, which has been longer that most managers have made it there because we have spoken with most of them over this. So essentially we are saying keep your "6 pieces" of bread & the butter/sour cream you give with the potatoes, then just give us the 1lb meat, green beans, 3 dry potatoes for the same price. This has been a battle. Claudia the last manager was finally on board as was the manager before her. Because we did this 2-3 times a month. But the most recent manager will do it but only give us 2 potatoes, like hell, 2 is not a family. Then we started getting what we in the food service would call a "dead potato" as in getting their old lunch potatoes that is as I stated "dead"! Doesn't mash up, yellowed, doesn't soak up butter. Then we were making our own potatoes & green beans, just ordering the meat from Bandanas. They made this choice for us & we saved money that they now lose. It's17$ now when it was close to $30 and thank you instant pot! But we just go get our meat from Sugar Fire now! We gave Bandana's a lot of money & a lot of chances, been through many managers like I said. But we are done now. It's a great place for people with no allergies but they are not sensitive to those that have them. | bad service | null | bad | 0 | 302 | null | null |
Tried Dos Tacos for dinner tonight with the wife. We went there hungry and ordered a large number of things to sample. All-in-all, it was good. Good food, good service, good price...but just good.
Chica Flaca Salad: Good. A good combination of flavors and nice texture. The tofu was extremely salty though.
Ta-Korea Taco: Again, it was good. The steak didn't have the best texture to it as it was a little grainy, but it had a good overall flavor.
Kamikaze Taco: This was probably the weakest of what we ordered, which was disappointing since it was what I was most looking forward to. I found the fish to lack much flavor and taste. Just not much taste to it.
Little Vegetables Taco: I thought it was good for a vegetarian entree, my wife thought "it was fine."
Yucca Fries: Seriously...these are out of this world. Incredible! A must have!
Guacamole: My wife described this best...."it was ok." The taste matched the color, as it was a little off and had a brownish appearance to it. Just didn't appear real fresh.
So, as I said before, it was good. I'd certainly go back and grab a quick bite on the way home from work but not really worth going out of my way for. The portions were decent and appropriate for the price. While it didn't exceed any of my expectations, its a decent option for the area. | okay food | neutral | null | 1 | 238 | null | null |
Barbuzzo is a trendy hot spot with good food and even better ambiance. The place is decorated beautifully, which really struck me upon walking in. There's a natural-earthy-woody feel there, barn-like doors/planks on the walls...It felt homey but also updated and very chic.
The food was good...though unfortunately being gluten free at Barbuzzo leaves something to be desired. They can totally accommodate you if you're GF, but the pizzas and pastas looked nice and I'm sure they're great (just couldn't try any of them as GF pasta was not on-hand). I really wanted this Arancini risotto on the menu, but was told that it's actually fried risotto balls and could not be made GF. Bummer.
On the other hand, we had some nice entrees to share. The vegetable board featured 4 prepared veggie salads which were all unique and interesting to taste/try. We then had the swordfish, short rib and octopus & calamari dish. Swordfish was done perfectly - moist, steaky, with tomato pesto on top - delicious. Short rib was good...could have been better (I love short ribs, I wanted more sauce on this). The calamari was grilled, fresh, good...but nothing special.
Definitely have a cocktail. My date has basil lemonade (vodka, housemade lemonade, torn basil leaves), and I had the Sanguinello, which was blood orange deliciousness (ketel orange, blood orange puree, chambord, lime). Our cocktails were great, and I could have easily had more, but then I would've been tanked.
Prices are pretty reasonable for a place of this caliber in Center City. The dishes are served family-style, but this is by no means a tapas portion. 2 dishes per person is PLENTY.
Also note - if you don't eat pork, this may not be the place for you. A lot of interesting dishes had tons of pork and/or lard and/or shellfish...not exactly kosher. :) | great food, good ambience | very good | null | 1 | 307 | null | good |
We love Corner Bakery but this one was a major fail. Eight of us were on June 25 for lunch. My four yr old granddaughter ate her lunch and very shortly after, she three up on the floor. My daughter and I tried to clean it up but couldn't without mopping the floor. The manager, Brittany, came out with a bucket and mop. In front of all of us, she made a comment-this is disgusting. My daughter was really upset as we couldn't help that a 4 yr. became so sick after eating there. This was absolutely unprofessional and uncaring, especially since it was their food that made her sick. I wanted to speak with the manager in charge but found out that the person who made the comment was the manager. The only saving grace was a very kind young man named Justin, who showed empathy and concern over the whole situation. Really too bad! | bad food, extremely poor service | bad | very bad | 0 | 156 | null | null |
I am bummed to write this because they seriously have some great tasting smoothies but the customer service is subpar. The smoothies are very expensive and their protein is not very good. Very unengaged and extremely slow service. It will take at LEAST 30 minutes to make a smoothie when we are the only ones there. And they are not backed up with to go orders, just moving really slow. As someone who works at smoothie place, I would be reamed for the lack of energy and the slow place in this shop. Disappointing that the customer service doesn't reflect the taste of the smoothies and menu. | poor service, very expensive, good smoothies | neutral | bad | 0 | 107 | very bad | null |
The food was great, my margarita was great, and the ambiance is great. However, the service was a little lacking and maybe just because it was a Saturday night. While our food came out within 20 minutes, we sat there without the usual chips and salsa while everyone seated around us got theirs. We finally had to ask for our chips and salsa when they brought our food out. My fajitas were still fantastic and they are reasonably priced, but I was very disappointed that they forgot the chips and salsa. This is the first time I have been to this location and would go back again. Maybe the next time their service will earn them more stars! | great food, poor service | very good | bad | 1 | 118 | null | null |
Star #1 for Real (not paper) cups and mugs
Star #2 for Greek-infused pastries and lunch specials
Star #3 for Nice corner spot with natural light and no parking meters
Star #4 for Big foamy lattes
Star #5 for Not pretending to be something you're not (such free office space, or carefully focus grouped, or unaffected by the cost of accepting credit cards)
Overall: Cute, cozy corner coffee shop with variety and character. Not trying to compete with corporate american coffee, just doing its own thing the best it can and I like it.
Support local businesses because they are never perfect. This means they're human. | great food, good ambience | very good | null | 2 | 106 | null | good |
I don't go here as much as I used to. I liked the original Pizza Hut that was in Turnersville (near Diamond Furniture and the old KFC - now Popeyes). I would go here often whenever I didn't have school. The lunch buffet/salad bar was the best. Ever since they moved their location next to Applebee's, it hasn't felt the same. The waiters/waitresses are usually slow and food takes forever to come out. I have to say that the place is clean and the bathrooms aren't too bad either. If you like an original Pizza Hut, head over to Glassboro. That one does gross me out a bit because it's old and needs a major upgrade. | poor service | null | bad | 0 | 116 | null | null |
I recently went and tried The Mill on a Thursday evening. I was concered it would be mobbed but at 6:30-7 it wasn't. My husband arrived first and they refused to seat him even tho I was 2 blocks down and on my way. He grabbed a seat at the bar to wait for me and we ended up having our dinner there.
First, the atmosphere: Good lighting, Unique elements, Masculine, feels a bit like a Northern establishment with industrial touches.
2nd - Service - As stated, we sat at the bar and had wonderful service. Our bartender was fantastic, friendly, not overbearing and yet on top of it all thru the few hours we were there.
3rd Food -
We had two lovely white burgundies for wine which were crisp and dry and chilled perfectly.
The prices of the glasses added up to what we would pay for a bottle so I was happy they didn't gouge us. For appetizers, I would highly recommend you walk in and immediately order the Watermelon Bruscetta. Hands down, incredible. It's a fantastic size for sharing even tho I could have made a dinner out of it. It was perfectly balanced with whipped feta, bits of heirloom tomatoes, small bites of watermelon and fine basil and mint. I will absolutely order it again.
2nd App - Heirloom tomatoes and roasted golden and red beet salad with a gorgeous creamy ball of burrata. Wow - This was fantastic and very large. Definitely order it and share it! We ended up bringing most of it home and had it for lunch paired with our main dish leftovers. Fantastic even the 2nd day.
Main - We ended up sharing the crispy airline chicken. I am torn on this dish. After being so excited from the Appetizers, the main was a tiny bit of a let down. I am conflicted a bit on this dish. It was 2 large chix breasts and the flavor was great. It was however a very heavy dish. It was called crispy yard bird and it wasn't crispy. That wasn't a deal breaker. It had gravy on top, was over a bed of stuffing and had root veggies. All tasty but just super heavy. I ate about two bites and packed it up.
My friend oredered the ancient grains risotto with short ribs and I stole a bit. It was delish and I think I would order that next time or try something else.
I will definitely return and try some of the other items for mains but will absolutely order that watermelon bruscetta again and again and again and again and... well you get the picture. | great food, affordable price | very good | null | 2 | 445 | good | null |
Last weekend my family and I ventured to our favorite Indian lunch Buffet in Harleysville, Aman's, which I've reviewed and raved about. It was Saturday afternoon and Aman's was closed for some reason, with no sign or anything, is it closed for good? We were all looking forward to some good Indian Buffet, so I checked out my handy Yelp app on my phone, and saw that the Curry Leaf was about 2 miles down the road. So, we headed there. We got there at about 2pm. We were afraid that at that time the bars would be lacking (Aman's was sometimes)... well, they weren't. I have one thing to say about the Curry Leaf... WOW!!! The food was so good! It was all fresh and tasted great. They had a lot of different food items, and I tried a good number of them. They were all great. They brought 8 pieces of naan bread for the 4 of us. It was tender, yet crisp, and so good. I'm on a low carb diet and typically don't eat much bread, but I couldn't resist. I have to say, this is our new favorite Indian buffet in Harleysville!!! We'll be back!!! | great food | very good | null | 2 | 200 | null | null |
Went here after seeing clipper cash in clipper magazine. Went on a bbq frenzy and ordered a ton of food for 2 of us. Shared brisket sandwich which was fantastic! also a side of baked beans-nice and sweet the way i like them. then moved on to the sampler platter. will say the chicken and pulled pork were a little dry but i do like them like that. Boyfriend doesnt and said that is only thing they could do better. with it had corn muffin which was average, mac and cheese, and potato salad.
mac and cheese was really good. could use some salt but i like alot of salt. potato salad was good. a nice onion taste. Could use a little less celery but that is just me. Slaw is really good and i hate slaw. nice and sweet. totally homemade. The platter also had ribs which were outstanding. Best i have had in a while and i went ribbing around Memphis. The food was better than most in Memphis! also have a littel sauce bar where you can put it in containers yourself and mark with the lids whcih is nice. We will be back for sure! | great food | very good | null | 2 | 199 | null | null |
I've been here a couple times, but the first time I didn't write a review out of laziness. My second trip here and I felt that the world should know about how fantastic this place is! I went around 2 with my boyfriend and his parents. It was pretty busy, but we were seating almost immediately from entering. There is indoor and outdoor seating available.
Our server was very helpful and gave recommendations if anyone wasn't sure what type of beer they wanted. Because it's a brewery, all of their beers are local and company made, which just adds to the uniqueness of the place. I had one called Last Days of Summer which was a sour ale with a bit of a mango and peach after taste - SO REFRESHING! I'm not one for IPAs or darker beers, so if you're into lighter, fun beers that aren't so hoppy, I recommend this one! However, if you're a true beer junky then there are plenty of other choices to pick from and sample, so don't let this pansy-beer review steer you away!
Now, the food. My first visit, I ordered a pastrami. I can't give great feedback on that because I have never had a pastrami sandwich before, but there was a lot of meat on it and it was great. This time around, I ordered their 15th Street Burger - SO GOOD! I have a few places around Tampa that I know to go to if I'm really craving a burger, and this is just another to add to my list! Smoked gouda, bacon, and beer-infused barbecue sauce? Take my money! I enjoyed it thoroughly and would also recommend this to those who are venturing in for their first time here!
We also ordered their beer cheese and pretzels for a little appetizer to share amongst us, and man oh man...the pretzels were very fresh and hot when they came out. Not too soft but not too chewy, they were perfect with their pepperjack fondue and porter mustard. I usually don't enjoy mustards given for pretzels, but TBBC's was absolutely yummy.
The place itself is pretty spacious. It's a bit dim, but it comes together nicely and it's a fun atmosphere to be in with friends or family. 10/10 would recommend to all! | nice ambience, great food | very good | null | 2 | 384 | null | good |
Don't order from here.
Everything about this place is just bad. Service is bad. Food is bad. Decor is bad.
First off, this is takeout Chinese food. In the culinary scale, this isn't complex like French food. It is slightly above a Chipotle. It is the fast food of Chinese food. Somehow they manage to suck. Like the food was probably the worst take out Chinese food I have ever eaten.
I ordered an hot and sour soup, general tsao's, and lo mein. All were among the worst I have ever ate. They use subpar ingredients on everything. The soup had no flavor and was very watery.(I had much better at a buffet) The general tsao's tasted old and not crunchy. The chicken didn't taste too fresh. They had barely any broccoli. The ones they did have noticeably old. lo mein was okay. I don't think they cook fresh.
Service.... what service? First off, they barely speak English. On the phone, the kid that picked up sounded frustrated at me. Even if it is my fault(which it isn't), you are suppose to sound nice. I had to switch over to Chinese to finish my order. BTW, their Chinese isn't too proper either. They messed up taking my order. If I didn't review with them, they would have forgotten a item. This place is like 10 mins walking from my place. It took like a hour for them to get the food to me. I think they forgot. I called them and they delivered it.
Decor is pretty bad. It is a take out place.
I don't know how this place still survives. Someone should seriously open a Chinese place down here. Panda Express would be a huge upgrade to this place! | very poor service, very bad food | very bad | very bad | 0 | 291 | null | null |
