Restaurent name is: City Hollywood Cafe
review: It saddens me to have to write such a crappy review about this place; as I used to come here all the time. \n\nThis past week, we have been at this location 3 times. Mainly for their wings and pitcher of beer combo. The first two times were great, we tried the hk style wings and curry wings our first time and the second time hk style wings and pepper and chilli. The wings always came out battered but delicious. It was soft and the meat was cooked perfectly. We go to the market village location and the newer location as well. We NEVER complain and whether we get good service or sometimes mediocre (due to volume) service, we always tip 20% because we enjoy eating at these two locations.\n\nYesterday night is by far the worst service I have ever received. \n\nIt was a Saturday, November 7th, 2015 around 1030pm. I wanted to bring our friend to try out the wings since we were raving about. We decided to also order the baked spaghetti which we always get. It was the first thing that came out and unfortunately, didn't taste as good as cafe hollywood. There was no cheese and was bland. Our wings came out afterwards and it looked different from the last two times we came in this past week. It looked like the breading was hard or old (old oil maybe you should change the oil instead of being cheap asses), or too much breading. \n\nSo we taste one and it didn't taste the same. I've looked through pictures on here and that's how our wings were cooked this past week. But I wish I took a picture of last nights wings, they looked dark, over cooked and the breading was seriously not the same.\n\nWe made a polite inquiry about the wings to our waitress and she gives it to the manager. The manager at the back counter tries one of our wings. He then comes to us explaining that he can't do anything about it and that there is nothing wrong with wings. We explained that we came here for the past 2 days this week and the wings didn't look or taste the same. So he tells us he's going to try to get the kitchen to do it again but that's it. After that we have to pay for it. \n\nBefore the wings come out a second time, he comes back up to the table with the chicken wing and starts to eat it in front of us. While chewing with his mouth open, he tells us that there is nothing wrong with the chicken wing, look i'm eating it and there's nothing wrong with it. I don't know about you guys, but restaurants (chinese or not) don't take the food that you've ordered and eat it in front of you guys explaining that there's nothing wrong with it. \n\nIt should have stopped when we told him we are regulars, and the worst part is that I've seen him at the newer location and he probably doesn't even recognize us. We go every sunday and it's such a pain to try and find something convenient like that around our area.\n\nLast but not least, as I was paying the bill with the debit machine, he expected me to put in the amount myself on the debit machine. What a tool. This location is the older one located right at Market Village. It's been around for as long as I can remember. The decor is a little old, but it's called Hollywood because the they try to make it Hollywood themed. There's a newer location that opened just up the street too. The menu at this location has more variety and in my opinion the food here is better. \n\nThe food is cheap here, which is why I always come back. They're opened late and beer is cheap too. The staff is okay, some of them don't speak English very well, but manage for the most part. \n\nI always get their A basket of wings and fries HK style (you can choose from a variety of 5 different styles/flaviours) and gravy. The basket is about 2.5 pounds of wings for $25.99, but it's $16.99 if you order a pitcher of drink (i.e. ice lemon tea, beer, pop, etc). So it's definitely work getting the pitcher of drink. The HK style is best type of wing here! It's crispy, juicy, and flavourful! The fries are also like McCain crispy fries. They have a lot of combo meals too. Basically an entree, soup, and drink. They serve mainly Hong Kong style cafe food (i.e. noodles, baked spaghetti, baked rices, etc). \n\nThis place is good for groups and families. They take reservations and also give your entire party 10% off on your actual birthday date (proof of birthday required). I would say the food here is a solid A - OK! After trashing the new location a bit... thought I'd come back here for a better experience since I've been eating here for many years. With that said... the last time i came was last summer with my family and i was already quite disappointed with the deteriorating quality of their food. TODAY... it was even more disappointing then last summer. I am completely giving up on this place. The food had no taste, stale and thrown together in like 10 seconds. (Afternoon tea and breakfast menu). The soup base was water plus a block of seasoning... and it wasn't even fully melted yet after I've finished eating. The only redeeming quality of this place is the ambience it maintained throughout all these years. They've got that friendly old Hollywood vibe going on and the service at this location is much better. And the fact that they served the liquid sweetener to my lemon tea separately also refrained me from giving it a depressing 1 star. A few friends and I came for a FIFA game and some food. The atmosphere is awesome especially with everyone in jerseys and the restaurant is all decorated and there are plenty of TV's! We came late afternoon and got a afternoon tea combo as well as the yummy wings combo. Their hong Kong style wings are spot on and u get a pitcher of any beverage- great for sharing. The deal is only $8.99- so awesome! You can opt for beer as well. \nIf you are looking for some good HK food, you will be happy as there is everything you can imagine. There are also pictures in the menu and really good breakfast, lunch and dinner specials. Food is good and value is definitely the thing to point out here.\nI don't always come here as the location is far, wished we still had this place in sauga! Best thing is the chicken wing baskets! | chinese | 12,800 |
Restaurent name is: Musketeers Bar & Grill
review: Easy place to drop in for good food and good price. Sometimes the service gets behind but normally they are on it. Girls, stay away. This place is a punch palace and one huge sexual harassment case waiting to happen.\n\nWhen I moved pretty close to this place 2 years ago, I was excited for a "divey" yet comfortable local bar to visit after a long day at work. I had also heard they make excellent pizza.\n\nMy first time checking it out, my girl friend and I went to watch a football game and grab some beers. We sat at the bar and the bartender was so kind, but the guys surrounding us immediately began their cat-calls and shouting. I\'m a pretty tough chick, but I began to get quite uncomfortable and we ended up leaving after the first quarter of the football game.\n\nThe next 2 or 3 times I went to this place, I had the same experience. And one time I witnessed two guys knocking each other out over a game of pool.\n\nI ordered their pizza a few times to pick up and bring home for dinner. Each time the pizza had a really bizarre dirt taste....like the vegetables were rotten or the cheese had been sitting out too long. I tried ordering their pizza several times thinking it may have just been a "bad batch" of ingredients, but every time the pizza tasted dirty and slightly stale.\n\nI love dive bars. This one, however, isn\'t worth wasting the time on. We ate here when a local recommended it. Nice menu, with a surprising variety of choices. The staff seemed a little overwhelmed but were super nice and didn't charge us when they thought they had taken too long on an appetizer. The food tasted really good for adults and kids alike. Will definitely return if I find myself in Richfield again. don't let the place scare ya...its a bar with some of the best food and service around. Service is always great and never had a bad meal. And btw they have beer also.....\nI work across the street and have been going to lunch there for over 7 yrs. 5 stars. Good food and decent appetiser grub...\nIt's a local bar not a chain and they do a pretty good job, I do wish they had more selection for apps though. It was kinda hard figuring out what would be good because selection was a bit limited...\nStill all in all....\nTasty! | american (traditional) | 12,801 |
Restaurent name is: 701 Main
review: Though I would try their biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast and was totally disappointed. They only serve it on weekends so I thought it would be something special. Well, the gravy was cold, it was tasteless and had very little sausage in it. \nJoe G We have given this place a few tries. Nice from the outside, cheap diner from the inside. The hostess was sloppy and disheveled. The waitress was awesome, but the food was barely edible. I would not recommend this establishment at all. Go down to Maxwells about a half mile east. Sadly, my meal was terrible. Had the special beef marsala. No flavor, the marsala sauce was a really dark color that I never have seen. The grilled vegetables were mushy. The salad & dressing were the best parts of the meal. I left most of my food behind. This was our first time here. We have driven by several times but never stopped. It was wonderful. Very nice atmosphere. Our server, Chris, loved him. Great food. I would recommend a visit. I know we plan on going back real soon. Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from coming to 701 Main. My beautiful family and I congregated at this venue last night to give it a try for a nice night out. And boy were we taken away, wow! With signature cocktails like Carolina Slammer and CANDY CRUSH (WOW) and dinner specials like Cajun Shrimp Alfredo with Spinach, you just will not be let down. I recommend this to anyone and everyone! My kids even enjoyed their shrimp skewer and pasta dishes. They even talked me into splurging on dessert- YUMMY black tie chocolate cake and chocolate raspberry rumble cheesecake!!! Waitstaff including Cody, Chenel, Haley, and Jennifer were wonderful. Cannot say enough about this place, I'm sold! | american (traditional) | 12,802 |
Restaurent name is: Ryu
review: Best sushi place and great ambiance. Their sushi chef is amazing and i love the creativity in his cuisine and furthermore the food is super fresh! The staff is wonderful and very attentive to the clients needs. Personally this is my favorite sushi place in Montreal. the food and decor makes Ryu a fun place to go to. Keep up the good work and phenomenal food Team Ryu!! Excellent food but horrible service. The first dishes were brought out after about 15 minutes of ordering, but the second round of dishes were brought out one hour after that. We were still hungry but did not order more as we did not want to wait for another hour. No apologies or explanation was provided for the delay. \n\nThe wait staff did not seem trained as they removed the plates before we were done without asking us if we were done. \n\nWould not come back and would not recommend, even though the food was good. Super chic restaurant, but don't expect to have authentic sushi. Top grade fish, but the rice lacked vinegar. I asked the chef/owner about the rice. His response was that they cater to the locals, who like their food sweet. Truly an aha moment for me!! I'm still on a look out for the perfect sushi rice in Montreal... Resto branch\xc3\xa9 dans Outremont. Tr\xc3\xa8s haut de gamme. Normalement, c'est hors de notre port\xc3\xa9e, mais un ami avait des coupons de style Groupon et nous a invit\xc3\xa9s. \n\nOn a pris deux tartares de poisson, des edamames et 7 plateaux de sushis pour partager \xc3\xa0 quatre et c'\xc3\xa9tait plus que suffisant! Tous les plats \xc3\xa9taient excellents! Les sushis \xc3\xa9taient vraiment bons et hors de l'ordinaire. Ils n'utilisaient pas des noris pour enrouler, mais des feuilles de soya color\xc3\xa9es ou des feuilles de riz. Il y avait aussi des sauces sp\xc3\xa9ciales pour assaisonner nos sushis. Le seul hic est qu'il a fallu attendre assez longtemps pour avoir nos plats ce qui fait que notre repas, commenc\xc3\xa9 un peu avant 19h30, a dur\xc3\xa9 jusque vers 21h30.\n\nL'ambiance \xc3\xa9tait tr\xc3\xa8s branch\xc3\xa9e. Le bruit \xc3\xa9tait par contre tr\xc3\xa8s fort et on s'entendait \xc3\xa0 peine parler. Le service \xc3\xa9tait tr\xc3\xa8s courtois. Ryu offers a fresh interior decor that can be sexy for setting the mood for a stimulating sushi date vs Maiko (which is in need of some decor upgrades). I cannot resist the impulse to compare the two. The overall sushi menu at Maiko is better in many ways and I\'m not sure, but Maiko may offer better value for your dollar on certain dishes (and depending how you order). But that depends how you define value. Yes, the food is better at Maiko, but the food and atmosphere of RYU is a lot more current and happening. I recommend to call in advance to find out what\'s going on. RYU puts on alot of parties, so depending on if you\'re in party mode or if you\'re looking for a more "quiet" night, you may want to double check with them, because the atmoshpere is completely different, depending on what they have scheduled. I like that there is a clean, new lounge in the Pleateu. Sometimes it gets tiring going to such rustic, candle-lit, hipster joints all the time. I need my dose of swanky, vegasy, miamish vibes. Or what I like to call "M-T-L Chic" joints. Which is another way of saying "it\'s nice to see some MTL business owners that actual invest in atmosphere and not just put their grandma\'s couch set by the bar and call it hipster". Another thing about Ryu is that it can be fairly dead with not enough customers to create an ambiance at times, but this has probably changed, since I last went, because it\'s a new spot and it takes time to catch on. Menu -wise: A big turn-off is the heavy use of crab-stick, instead of real crab for the pricepoint of the dishes. | asian fusion | 12,803 |
Restaurent name is: Sushi Too
review: We ordered takeout from here today and it was our first experience. The sushi was not fresh and we ended up throwing most of it away. The edamame was served cold and unsalted. We also got the chicken Yaki Udon and the noodles were DRENCHED in some sort of butter/creamy sauce and it was inedible. I love this place! This is a common spot for me and my bestie. Prices are reasonable, food is delicious, service is outstanding... What's not to like? I have been dining & ordering from Sushi Too for years with family & friends . Full circle-wonderfully consistent & delicious . The one place where I don't have to order the same thing to be happy I've eaten here more than once... miso is good. Service is friendly and ambiance is okay. Convenient location, sushi is not generous or very fresh but it usually hasn't been too bad. However, my boyfriend and I got food poisoning from some bad tuna. I understand the risks of consuming raw fish, but this tuna just looked bad. I didn't really want to risk ruining dinner by complaining about the light-pink color of the tuna (should be deep, pleasing red) but an hour or so later when we were both puking I wish I would have mentioned it :(\nI called the next morning just to let them know that for the sake of business they should throw out their tuna, I wasn't asking for a refund or anything--I used to work at a sushi restaurant so I understand that it happens in small establishments sometimes, and I felt bad that others who may not be so kind might get sick and raise a racket. Unfortunately the management seemed to interpret my courtesy call as an attack and assured me that next time I came in I would get money off etc etc and didn't seem concerned about what i had to say about the food that made us sick. I probably won't be coming again. Great establishment, friendly staff & top notch sushi. The best sushi you'll find in Shadyside. | japanese | 12,804 |
Restaurent name is: Park 51 Cafe
review: Small little cafe tucked away in Park 51 shopping center. There are really great food choices and excellent service. Breakfast choices are typical eggs and such with extra items like Belgian Waffles and homemade French toast. The food is fresh and prepared well for a small cafe. The room is small but comfortable - I would definitely say it's a option for breakfast ! \nTry it - you'll like it ! This Hinkle and unassuming place serves and very solid breakfast. Is it sublime? No is the best breakfast? No but it is good meal for a great price. The owners and workers are friendly. The food is delicious and the staff is awesome here. The restaurant has a nice private family atmosphere. It's a great place to take the kids and a great place to go when you don't want to be at a big chain restaurant. I love this place. Great breakfast! The service is always fast. This place is a great little diner. I've been coming to this place for years, and finally got around to writing this review. This is my go to breakfast place in Charlotte. They are usually quite busy on the weekends with minimal space, but they keep things moving. The food is consistent and cheap, for what you get. The coffee and tea is delish. I feel like all the other breakfast places are very overpriced when compared to Park 51. Sometimes the service is a little lackluster but I understand sometimes things are just busy, and they are understaffed. I always take my out of town guests here to eat. Breakfast food rocks! | american (traditional) | 12,805 |
Restaurent name is: Harvey's
review: Staff is friendly, service is fast, and the food is fresh. Wish they had more outlets but the wifi is decent at least. One of the worst Harvey's I have ever visited. This store has serious issues starting from the management all the way down. The person taking my order walks over to take a drive through order in the middle of taking my order. Then they get the order incorrect, but argues with me that I told them incorrectly. This happened not once, but twice. In both cases the place wasn't busy. Shame on me to give this particular store a second chance. Moved from Richmond Hill to California and having not been back in 10 years, this was my first stop! An absolutely satisfying moment for my first meal back in Canada! Staff is friendly, service is fast, and the food is fresh. Wish they had more outlets but the wifi is decent at least.\n\nUpdate: They have power outlets on the north side, but they are turned off. Lost a star for stinginess. I love Harvey's, but this one has serious communication issues. The person who adds the burger toppings was definitely not comfortable speaking English and could not understand me. She also mixed up another customer's order while I was there. I think I will stick to the Aurora Harvey's where this is never an issue. | american (traditional) | 12,806 |
Restaurent name is: Soup It Up
review: Ive eaten here 4 times. First and third was the clam chowder with nice clams but terrible broth. Overdosed on starch i think. The second was the spicy thai and while the broth was fine. There was no pieces. the last time I had the lobster bisque and that was very good.\n\nMy recomendation is to try for lunch as it's fresh but avoid late afternoon as the soup suffers from being too hot too long in their tureens. I often grab my lunch from Soup it Up. They have 9 flavours to choose from everyday (most of them vary from day to day, but the top sellers are available daily) and the ones that I've had are delicious!\n\nI'm not really sure what Matthew S. is talking about, because I find the pricing to be fabulous! Anywhere that I can get a good lunch for under $5 (a small soup and a roll is about $4.80) is awesome in my books. \n\nMy personal favourite soups are the Chicken Noodle, Butternut Squash (mmmm!), Veggie Chili (amazing when you get cheddar cheese on top), and the Lentil & Potato soup. \n\nThe staff is also very friendly and helpful. :)\n\n**Be aware that there is a .25 cent charge to use debit, so it's best to have cash on you before you go. Their clam chowder was atrocious. I ordered a large and threw it away. It tasted like something you'd get at dollarama. Their coconut curry soup was better but nothing can make up for that awful chowder. Their prices are a rip off too. Avoid this place like the plague. Located in the food court found in the concourse center at the Hudson Bay Centre, Soup it Up is a franchised business offering soups, salads, and sandwiches. Offering premium and regular soups, prices range from $3-$6 for either a small, medium, or large serving of soup. My favorites are the Spicy Thai and the Tomato Tortellini. Lines tend to be very long during the business lunch hours (11:00am -2:00pm) and besides salads, soups, and sandwiches, the also sell beverages and desserts. Debit machine on hand helps those with no cash on hand make a purchase. I used to eat hear all the time when I worked around the corner. I'd say my favourite soup they serve is the Beef Barley, Tomato & Leek and Tomato Florentine. I've had their sandwiches but I don't really like the bread they use....reminds me of the bread Tim Horton's used for their sandwiches. Never tried their salads, but they don't seem to look that tasty or appealing. When craving the soups I mentioned above I also get off Yonge & Bloor Station going home work. | american (traditional) | 12,807 |
Restaurent name is: Abruzzi Italian Cucina
review: This had to be the worst experience I've had at a restaurant in 10 years The Chicago deep dish pizza came out looking like a Pizza Hut Pan pizza With less flavor Waitress was extremely nice management on the other hand have a lot to be desired definitely will not return A total waste of $50. My husband and I went here for dinner a few weeks ago and were less than impressed. The restaurant is very dark and cold inside. We sat at a table near the bar and our server couldn\'t have cared less about us. We stuck around because we had already put in our dinner orders and didn\'t want to be rude. After all, maybe they have great food, right? WRONG. I got a bowtie pasta dish with chicken that looked really good on the menu. When I got the food it literally tasted like someone ashed their cigarette right in the food. I asked the server about it and she said it was "supposed to taste like that" and said that I was probably just taking the grilled chicken. 1. Not one piece of chicken was browned, grilled, blackened, etc. It looked like limp strips of processed chicken. There wasn\'t a trace of grilled anything. 2. NOTHING is supposed to taste like that did. It was so bad that I couldn\'t even pick around the chicken and eat the noodles because everything had the same gross taste. Never going back to this place. Stopped in for lunch. I had chicken parmigiana. \nWas very good and super reasonable. Staff was very friendly, nice atmosphere. Also had take out from there. I would recommend them for some good Italian food. My husband and I had to cancel our Valentine\'s Day dinner reservations due to inclement weather. Instead, we decided to stay local and visited Abruzzi\'s. The restaurant was not at all crowded (which we thought was due to the weather), and we were the only ones in the lobby waiting to be seated. After the hostess walked past us twice, she finally acknowledged us and asked if we wanted a table or a booth. We chose a booth and were seated at the first one directly behind the hostess station and near the staff entry/exit to the kitchen. The menus still list the old restaurant name, Amatos, and were supplemented with paper inserts to display the updated menu (even though this restaurant just recently opened). As we reviewed the menu, two servers and the hostess walked past our table multiple times. We decided on our drink and entree selections and placed our menus at the end of the table to signal that we were ready to order. While waiting, I noticed that the tables around us were receiving drinks, food, and their checks...but still, no server came to our table and there was no manager in sight. After ten minutes of waiting, we put on our coats to leave. As we were walking out, my husband informed the hostess that we had been waiting for ten minutes and were leaving since we\'ve yet to receive service. The hostess actually asked my husband where we were seated!\n\nThis restaurant is within walking distance of our home and had the potential to be a \'go to\'. After this experience, we never plan to visit again. This place advertises as an "Italian Cucina", but fails to properly hire and train professional staff that reflect a welcoming, family style restaurant. What a disappointment. We visited Abruzzi in Irwin for the first time, and most likely the last time. The service was fine, very attentive and quick. The food wasn\'t bad, it tasted OK, but the quality of the veal that we had was pretty bad. It was pounded EXTREMELY thin, which made it very tough. The waitress had informed us that the veal was "real" and very good so two of us ordered it. BIG mistake. As I said, the taste was ok, due to the sauce and cheese, but the veal was way too thin. The waitress asked us how we liked it and I had to be honest and say it was tough and too thin. She seemed concerned and actually took a piece of the veal back to the kitchen. She returned to tell us that its "supposed" to be that way. If it was supposed to look like a piece of lunchmeat then I suppose the chef knows best, but I have NEVER had a piece of veal that looked more like a slice of lunchmeat than a piece of "real" veal. I wonder, would they serve a piece of sliced roast beef luncheon meat and call it prime rib? I would hope not. Even though she informed us that the chef said the veal was "supposed" to be like that he did offer us a free dessert. That was ok but a sincere apology and acknowledgement that someone went overboard with the meat tenderizer would have gone a long way in possibly prompting us to return and give Abruzzi another chance. Instead we got a piece of cheesecake and probably wont return. | italian | 12,808 |
Restaurent name is: Taco Bell
review: I go to this Taco Bell when I am wanting something not to filling and inexpensive. I also go to this Taco Bell because of the people that work there. Several times they have suggested I order a special item that gave me more for less money. How many times do you get someone that is looking our for how much you spend today. I have eaten at different Taco Bells for years but this is the only place I have ever gotten the great customer service they offer. We all know that this location is the worst location and has the worst manager and staff people who continue to cheat with baby portions and overcharge the customers. They still do not serve steak in the Steak Nachos without sour cream, pico de gallo, crumbs from the tortilla chips at the price of $7 plus tax. They only put about 2 tablespoons of refried beans on top of the crumbly tortilla chips. Again the manager was so rude she wanted to make it right by giving me a side of beans with sour cream but no steak or pico de gallo. You are not suppose to put sour cream on beans, I've seen other customers with cheese on top. The manager is an incomprehensible female illiterate. If i could give less than 1 star i would. Worst taco bell experience ever! I never go to this location and I won\'t again. I used the mobile app to order almost $30 in food. I received a confirmation email and my card was charged like normal. (Note: I use the app weekly) So I get to the store and select drive through as my pick up option, I get to the order box and they say they can\'t find my order. I waited about 10 min and they still couldn\'t find my order so I told them I would come inside. I ended up having to re-order the entire order which meant I had to call everyone who was on the order and get their orders from them ( which everything was custom, that\'s why we used the app) anyway after about 20 min I finally get our food and I\'m missing a single crunchy taco. So I let them know that I still need a crunchy taco and they proceed to take all of my food back out of the bag and count all of it. After a couple min they tell me that I have everything and I\'m not missing anything. I counted the items with them multiple times and they still tried telling me I had everything. Finally they realize they\'re wrong and them give me the wrong taco, even though I was standing there saying "no, not that kind, just a regular crunchy taco". They completely ignored me. After that I just took the food and left not wanting to bother with them anymore. So I get home and give everyone their food but because the staff stood there and argued with me that I wasn\'t missing a taco all of the other tacos were soggy and gross. They didn\'t get eaten. I usually would not complain because I know how hard service jobs can be but the staff was inconsiderate and just looked at me like they I was in the wrong the whole time. Rude, inconsiderate, incompetent staff. I will never return to this location and I will tell my friends and family to avoid it. I went to this taco bell one day to get the D-Back's special, but they refused to change the crunchy tacos in to soft tacos. All last year they did this so what makes this year any different? Always gets my order right and is always fast about ans verg good customer service thanks guys | mexican | 12,809 |
Restaurent name is: Abruzzo Pizza
review: This is what I have always wanted in a pizza place. The food is delicious and reasonably priced. They deliver and the food always arrives hot. We order from there once a week and have never been disappointed. Personally I feel that their pizza is better than Dante's or Paoletti's. \n\nThe pasta is pretty good too, especially the lasagna. I was looking forward to Abruzzo Pizza after seeing all the raving reviews and it did not disappoint! We ordered a small special pizza and Vince's special pasta with fuscilli. The crust on the pizza was perfect but the large amount of toppings made the centre soggy. It was otherwise delicious. The flavour on the pasta was excellent as well, but I have to say it is a tad pricey for the given portion. \n\nNext time I'll order the pizza with less toppings, and will definitely try the panzo! First time visit after a good recommendation and I was impressed it's nothing to fancy but it's cozy and it feels like your at family's for dinner - my boyfriend and I loved it and will be back for pick up and for a sit in! We got the hot wings, cheese pizza, chicken parm and ravioli with rose sauce. Everything was good. I really liked the pizza as I am very picky with pizzas it was perfect cheese pizza. Pizza night was incredibly satisfying because of Abruzzo. The price was easy on the wallet as four people were fed to the max at $50ish plus tax, tip. What we had were as follows: the large house special pizza, pepperoni panzerotti with an added anchovies ingredient, meat lasagna, and a diet Coke. \n\nThe service was fast and attentive. We changed our minds with our order a couple of times but never felt that our server minded. I would have minded, but he did not, hence, we love Abruzzo even more. \n\nEven though I was quite sick at the time, I was able to taste our wonderful meal. So, yes, kudos again. I doubted my taste buds since I was sick, but our companions always agreed that they enjoyed pizza night here. We were able to talk, eat, watch some TV, and enjoy every bit of cheesy dishes. I'm a convert now... We used to give our pizza biz to Dante's, not anymore. The special pizza is very tasty.\nLove the ponzo's as well but who doesn't like fried pizza dough with cheese and pepperoni??!! | italian | 12,810 |
Restaurent name is: Chez Tousignant
review: More than ordinary, small and very pretentious restaurant alla "Fast Food"... at excessive prices. Stefano Faita should review its standards of quality vs prices vs. service.\n\nWOW! What a bad story it was. To read...\n\n- Their hotdog at $ 7.75 is just a vulgar hotdog sausage (which Tousignant claims to be made from 100% local beef and beef). Okay. But after having tasted it, I judge that the proportion is rather 30% of their 100% local meat ... mixed with 70% of bad fillings. But it\'s definitely a little better than the Hygrade sausage!\n\n- Their cheeseburger at $ 7.50 is a shame for the smallness of its meat and its small slice of Kraft cheese. If at least it was a fresh slice of thicker Cheddar. But tomatos and onions are cut into very thick slices ... with a lot of iceberg lettuce. Wow!\n\n- If you like fries dull and greasy, go Chez Tousignant!\n\n- If you order chicken to take-out, make sure your cup of BBQ sauce is not only half filled ... and that your chicken piece is full before you leave.\n\nDo not deign to complain about their incompetence, unless you accept to be humiliated to have done it by the Chef himself. The service is nonchalant and haughty. OMG Do you even burger bro? This is like the Mecca. Omg I'm writing such a fanboy review and I don't care this place delivered so hard on this second visit I gotta say undisputed heavyweight burger champ of the city here. Get the TOUSIGNANT. Thank me a few times then get another. Rinse and repeat. Ad infinitum. If you are looking for a cool, no fuss, little joint to eat some great burgers, hot-dogs and fries this is the place. They have discovered the secret to McD's special sauce...lol! Mauvais service, attitude de snob, extra cher, n\'osez pas vous plaindre au Chef qui vous enverra presque chier, nourriture n\'est pas \xc3\xa0 la hauteur des prix. Je sugg\xc3\xa8re un vrai "Greasy spoon" avec qualit\xc3\xa9 et prix raisonnable: \xc2\xb4Nouveau Systeme Beaubien\' situ\xc3\xa9 non loin. Je suis satisfaite du repas que j'y ai partag\xc3\xa9 avec mes amis, mais je n'y retournerai pas, parce que le prix demand\xc3\xa9 est disproportionn\xc3\xa9 par rapport \xc3\xa0 certains choix du menu. Pour ma part, j'ai command\xc3\xa9 un sandwich BLT qui \xc3\xa9tait tr\xc3\xa8s bien garni et go\xc3\xbbteux, mais le hot-dog, par exemple, n'a impressionn\xc3\xa9 personne.\n\nCeci dit, je pense que leurs boissons gazeuses faites maison sont tr\xc3\xa8s bien, et les bouteilles en verre \xc3\xa9taient jolies. Si vous visitez le march\xc3\xa9 Jean-Talon et que vous \xc3\xaates en qu\xc3\xaate d'un rafra\xc3\xaechissement sucr\xc3\xa9, je vous conseillerais d'y entrer pour prendre une de ces boissons pour emporter. Vous pourrez par la m\xc3\xaame occasion appr\xc3\xa9cier le d\xc3\xa9cor qui est charmant et r\xc3\xa9tro et qui vaut le coup d'oeil. | canadian (new) | 12,811 |
Restaurent name is: Mama Roberto's
review: We just moved from Pittsburgh, and this place was recommended by a friend. It was really good. The bread is fantastic and the stromboli is sooooo good because of the bread. Highly recommended! We have got carry out a couple of times in the last month. We were amazed at the amount of food you get for the price! One meal could actually feed 2 to 3 people. The quality was very good also. We are fans and will be back soon. The quality of the walleye fish fry was really disappointing. Fish was not flaky as in prior years and the fries were limp and soggy. As dumb as this may sound you get to much food, like each plate of pasta can easily feed a family of four it's a big waste of food if you ask me and the quality is very poor .. Good bread tho .. great great food... big portions, great pizza, interesting apps. i recommend the Marsala, big mushrooms great pasta.\n\ngive it a try. | italian | 12,812 |
Restaurent name is: Rick's Cafe
review: I was hoping they had a yelp. Wow oh wow this place is bad. I stayed at the Westin for 4 days. I ate at this place 3 times. All 3 times I regret spending my money and eating at this place. This place is horrible I mean horrible. The food is disgusting the workers seemed like they wanna kill them selves.... No lie.. This is probably the worst experience I've had with food. At least the chicken tenders were okay. So sad seeing such a beautiful hotel but such a bad restaurant. Don't spend your money here. Just go find somewhere else to eat even tho everything is far. We're staying in west in for the weekend. Was looking for a place to have dinner with the kids. Ordered the ultimate burger, Cesar salad with chicken, chicken soup and mac and cheese for kids. \nThe burger is huge, 3 or 4 patties, all of them were overcooked and it was very dry. The salad was okay, nothing special. Mac and cheese was somewhat plain too. The soup was not that great either. \nDefinitely would not be going back again. The Thanksgiving Brunch was excellent. Wonderful service and high quality food. The brunch included: delicious sushi, seafood, other Asian dishes, prime rib, lamb, turkey, ham, and all the fixings, salad bar, full breakfast buffet and an amazing spread of desserts. Our waiter was prompt and friendly. Overall, I highly recommend Rick's at the Westin at Lake Las Vegas. We ordered takeout from here yesterday while staying at the Westin and absolutely LOVED the food! The only reason I am giving this a 4 and not a 5 is because the restaurant seemed very empty, yet it still took about 10 minutes for anyone to help us at the front. We ordered the calamari appetizer, a Chinese chicken salad, and the double cheese bacon burger. The calamari was not chewy like it can be if prepared incorrectly. They serve it with fried banana peppers, which was something different that we both loved. The salad was very fresh and the dressing was great. My husband ate the burger within 30 seconds and said that it was fantastic. All in all this was a great place to order dinner for the room without sacrificing quality. Also, the person who put together our order was super helpful! The 2 stars is only for the great service. The workers are very nice and friendly. I was staying at the resort for Memorial Day weekend, and ate here for the breakfast buffet. For 4 people we had to wait for 30 minutes. The place was packed. We all had the breakfast buffet and it was terrible. Everything did not taste fresh accept for the omelette bar. I would definitely not do the breakfast buffet again | american (traditional) | 12,813 |
Restaurent name is: First Watch
review: The host needs to learn "cooth", she needs to be trained better. The AC wasn\'t on, we had to ask for them to turn it on, people were fanning themselves, the server was nice, BUT we asked for water ... she brought it, but no glasses to drink out of it with lol. Four orders, and they brought only one order out ... finally got the other orders. Food was just ok. My bananas were brown. No one came back to ck on us ... someone needed more water, someone needed dressing for salad. Bad management. I won\'t be back and won\'t suggest anyone to go there. I had the trifecta it was delicious...I added a banana granola crunch pancake mmmm good! Try the day glow for an energizing drink. Treat yourself to the chicken salad melt, you will not be disappointed. Came in on a busy Sunday brunch. Barrett Jackson is happening so everything is slammed. For first watch this was no problem. We were seated in 5 min. Started with million dollar bacon...sweet maple and cayenne pepper. So freaking good. The whole grain toast with my scramble was perfect. My wife had a Belgian waffle with cherry compote and warmed maple syrup. All so good. We will be back for sure. I love this place! They have another location that I went to every so often but it was a little out of my way. Now they've opened a new location and it's close to my work. These restaurants should sell stock, because I'd buy a lot of it. Their menu is healthy, fresh and delicious - perfect for today's day and age. As far as what I like, their power wrap and the avocado toast are two of my favorites. If you live near the airpark, you need to try this place! We typically go here for breakfast so I usually order breakfast items. I've always wanted to try the sandwiches and salads but end up ordering breakfast because it's good anytime of the day! For this visit, I had to order my standard kale tonic since it's my favorite!! At another location, my server let me sample another drink on the menu but after having the kale tonic, nothing compares to it in my opinion. I also ordered off the seasonal menu this time and tried the SoCal Breakfast Burrito which was fabulous and healthy! I've enjoyed everything I have ordered in the past which includes lemon ricotta pancakes, the Tri-Fecta and Chickichanga. I really like this location too since there's plenty of space and I haven't had to wait for a table. | american (traditional) | 12,814 |
Restaurent name is: Cocina Lucero
review: We saw this place on tv and wanted to try it out. We weren't disappointed with the food, very enjoyable and tasty, but the service was poor. The waitress would have to had to try very hard to have paid less attention to our table. I think it took 4 askings and about 25 minutes to get our bill after first requesting. Had they been busier I imagine they might have been in more of a hurry to take our money. Try out the Ceviche and the Tasting platter, both are super delicious. Their Chimichanga was good, but with a little crispiness, more sour cream and guacamole, it would be totally amazing. Service was friendly and good. I would recommend this place, as it is a challenge finding good mexican cusine in Toronto. Best Mexican restaurant in the area. And they have vegetarian options too. The service may be slow during busy times, which is understandable but they're good and attentive. I have been here a few times. I think the food is amazing. The service is friendly with one caveat. I really do not like establishments where the staff are gossiping with one another on the floor. Keep it low, focus on the customer, save your personal lives for off the clock. Again I will keep coming back to Cocina Lucero. I highly recommend the place nonetheless. I wanted to love this place. My boyfriend is Mexican and it would've saved me A LOT of trouble learning how to cook Mexican food properly. Unfortunately, the service was poor. The first time I went, I went with a few of my friends (none of us spoke spanish) the waitress who served me was unable to speak english properly and therefore it took a really long time to get what we wanted across to her. When I got my dish (it was a type of sampler) the food was mush, it was just...mush. The second time I went was a few months later this time with my boyfriend. So he spoke spanish ordered all this food, and STILL mush....\n\nThe flavour was coming out but...in the end...MUSH! | mexican | 12,815 |
Restaurent name is: Silk Restaurant & Bar
review: We love this place. It's way better than the previous Thai place that was here. My favourite is the spicy Thai basil (street style). The curries are also all really good. I have been here twice and the food is really good and tasty. I need my Thai fix on a regular basis, so having just moved to the area we decided to drop in for a quick lunch. The lunch specials were super reasonable, so we had Pad Thai and orange chicken. The portions were perfect for lunch and the food was outstanding. Just a word of advice, order the Silk Thai with the tamarind base as that is the proper way to make it. We enjoyed the food so much we decided to go back for dinner this week, also wanted to escape the heat and dine with AC. We ordered the pad Thai again along with basil beef. The portions were even larger for dinner so my son got a free lunch the next day. He also said it was darn good Thai food! This place needs to stay open so please go give it a try. Excellent chicken pad thai\nAnd prepared so quickly\nI enjoy restaurants, eating out\nAlso enjoy having it move smoothly, quick!\nGet in\nGet out\n\nGlad I found SILK Great Thai food. The best I've had in a long time. Lots of seating for bigger parties. Everything is made fresh to order. The portions are large. The appetizers are made for two people. I love this place.\n\nAtmosphere is so chill. People are lovely. Food always satisfies. True hidden gem. \n\nYou can't really order anything wrong from this menu. Always a crowd pleaser when I bring people here! It always becomes their new favourite Thai restaurant. \n\nFavourite is the beef khao soi (huge fan favourite), which is a delicious egg noodle in yummy golden curry. Also love the chicken green curry, silk pad thai (with real Thai tamarind), and pineapple fried rice.\n\nPrices are also really good. Biggest plus is that it's never crowded (unlike Sukhothai down the street). | thai | 12,816 |
Restaurent name is: Peking Express
review: My girlfriend and I ordered delivery from Peking Express last night (Saturday night). \n\nDelivery time was fine (no earlier or later than most restaurants), the delivery guy was nice and the food was warm to hot when it arrived (the warm being perfectly fine since it was cold out last night).\n\nWe did not enjoy the food.\n\nThe egg rolls were fried thick with little filling. They did have crunch but were bland tasting. They were not extraordinary by any means. \n\nThe chicken balls were massive balls of dough with miniscule amounts of meat. The meat was dark meat. Total disappointment. Also, Peking Express offers chicken balls in quantities of six or 12 and unless you specify you want six, they will sell you 12 (for twice the cost). That's my bad - we should have specified - but the chicken balls were still awful.\n\nThe lemon chicken was a large container filled with what must have been six chicken breasts (so keep in mind the quantity is huge when you're ordering other dishes). The lemon chicken has a crunchy fry to it but, with respect to another poster who said in his/her post here, I would respectfully disagree in calling the chicken legendary - it was merely ordinary. The lemon sauce comes on the side and we found to be mild and thin - I prefer it sweeter and tangy. \n\nThe black bean beef schezuan style had tasty beef but we found there was very little beef and green peppers relative to the large amount of onions. \n\nThe lo mein with veggies was your standard lo mein with veggies but it was quite greasy.\n\nOverall, we were disappointed with the food. We know Peking Express is not upscale or necessarily authentic Chinese food but we found it ordinary, bland tasting and below average compared to other Canadian Chinese food restaurants in the city. OMG! The Szechuan beef dish smelled like rotten flesh.\nI have a strong stomach so I thought lets taste it to see .. WOW! It melted in my mouth like it was predigested and tasted like sh__. I've never experienced anything this foul in my life .. disgusting!\nThe management only offered me a credit and had no explanation whatsoever. Since I will never eat from this fine establishment ever again, they get to keep my credit.\nWhat a nightmare .. I don't even know if I was eating beef or something imitating beef First stick to the Chinese menu, don't order the Thai dishes, absolutely the worst Pad Thai ever (not belng able to spell it on their menu ought to have tipped us off ... head smack). The Chinese dishes were okay but not great. Chinese vegetables we expected stir fry but they were plain steamed veg with no seasoning. . . healthy but meh.... dry garlic spareribs? get out your magnifying glass to see them and they were overly dry. MaPo Tofu was an okay dish but didn't resemble the MaPo Tofu we'd found in Beijing or elsewhere here in Toronto. It really just was some other Tofu dish... disappointing to one MaPo Tofu enthusiast in our party. General George Chicken was the best dish in our order. Really with the wealth of options in Toronto, this was a first and a last try as a customer. This is our go to Chinese delivery place. Delivery is always fast, seriously sometimes like 15 minutes fast, and fresh. I always get the Cantonese Lo-Mein, which is delicious with toasted noodles. Definitely big enough for sharing. Husband usually gets "traditional" fare of chicken balls, wings and rice. Which are also good, not as greasy as some other places. And the egg rolls, I don\'t know what it is, but I\'ve never had better. I've just lost confidence in Yelp.\n\nOrdered for delivery. Arrived without chopsticks. Hot and Sour Soup looked weird. Crispy noodles were mushy. Kung Pao chicken was pretty weak at best.\n\nWill not order from Peking Express again. | chinese | 12,817 |
Restaurent name is: Gus's Family Restaurant
review: I love this part of Cleveland, a small area called Brooklyn..residential streets are paved with red bricks, neighbors are friendly. It sure gives off an upstate New York feeling.\nGus' is a quaint joint that serves breakfast, lunch, dinner food. It the newest of places but sure feels like home when you walk in. The wait staff are very friendly. They offer free WiFi, just ask for their password. I ate a late breakfast while on a conference call. Wait staff was extremely friendly and patient with me allowing me to order once i was finished. Never once did my coffee cup get close to being empty, the wait staff was exceptionally on point with drink refills and courtesy. \nFood is much better than any Bob Evans chain because its made with love and the prices are almost in my opinion to low. But my pockets and full stomach were not complaining!\nAwesome mom and pop diner, many regulars were in and out while i dined in. They offer take out, call ahead takeout and a wide variety of food options from omlets, breakfast combos, sandwiches, soups. If you're in the area check it out! Had a great breakfast here. It's basic, good food made to order. Everyone is a pro at their job. Orders were correct, fast, the coffee kept hot. I had a gyro omelet which is always a great find. Crispy hash browns and toast. Even though it was busy, the wait was short. The pancake is not good , yelp probably won't let me post this but it is true\n\nPlus there is no parking \n\nPlus the cup is dirty \n\nPlus they didn't give me the kind of egg I ordered . Ok it's been awhile but this place rocked! In tow with wife & 3 kids, we ate like royalty for under $20! Awesome food & service, so get there, I need to again! Pretty good place to get a nice breakfast or some lunch. Its very small but you wont regret eating here. I love the breakfast home fries are off the hook not every restaurant has good homefries. The reuben is pretty good with thousand island dressing . The coffee is good , and I would probably give 5 stars but if you call for a to go order its usually the waitress that answers they should have a hostess / expo even thou its small . Very friendly staff. | american (traditional) | 12,818 |
Restaurent name is: Monga Fried Chicken
review: It seems like there's been a plethora of Taiwanese fried chicken shops that have opened up within a few blocks of each other. Apart from the egregiously large chicken cutlets, they've also got baos and other fried snacks that serve as a great alternative to committing to eating a huge piece of fried chicken. \n\nI got the fried chicken bao, which had a tender piece of fried chicken topped with pickled radish and garnishes which complemented the chicken and soft bun really well. \n\nThe restaurant has a good amount of seating but you could easily take it to go. Bring your friends so you can try more items! The variety of fried chicken cutlets offered here is incredible. I was given the opportunity to try the Okinawa Seaweed and the *NEW* Chee-Z fried chicken. \n\nThe chicken did not disappoint. The Okinawa Seaweed was my all-time favourite. I don't think anything can top this flavour. It was literally an umami-infused piece of juicy goodness. It was really flavourful and had lots of crunch. This could also be described for the cheese cutlet. The chicken, however, was topped with a sweet tangy sauce and covered with copious amounts of cheese. It also caused a flavour bomb in my mouth. \n\nTheir menu is huge and I love the amount of options you can pick from. In addition to their fried cutlets, they also have loaded baos, chicken pieces, and fries. Such a great place to check out! \xe8\xbf\x99\xe7\x9c\x9f\xe7\x9a\x84\xe6\x98\xaf\xe6\x88\x91\xe6\x9c\x80\xe7\x88\xb1\xe6\x9c\x80\xe7\x88\xb1\xe7\x9a\x84\xe7\x82\xb8\xe9\xb8\xa1\xe6\x8e\x92\xe5\xba\x97 \xe7\x94\xa9\xe8\xb1\xaa\xe5\xa4\xa7\xe5\xa4\xa715\xe6\x9d\xa1\xe8\xa1\x97\xe3\x80\x82\xe7\xac\xac\xe4\xb8\x80\xe6\xac\xa1\xe6\x98\xaf\xe5\x9c\xa8\xe5\x8f\xb0\xe5\x8c\x97\xe5\x90\x83\xe5\x88\xb0\xe8\xbf\x99\xe4\xb8\xaa\xe7\x89\x8c\xe5\xad\x90\xe7\x9a\x84\xe9\xb8\xa1\xe6\x8e\x92\xe3\x80\x82\xe4\xbb\x8e\xe6\xad\xa4\xe5\xb0\xb1\xe5\x86\x8d\xe6\xb2\xa1\xe5\x90\x83\xe6\xaf\x94\xe8\xbf\x99\xe5\xae\xb6\xe6\x9b\xb4\xe5\xa5\xbd\xe5\x90\x83\xe7\x9a\x84\xe4\xba\x86\xe3\x80\x82\xe6\x9d\xa5Toronto\xe6\x97\x85\xe6\xb8\xb8\xe8\xb5\xb0\xe5\x9c\xa8\xe8\xa1\x97\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe6\x84\x8f\xe5\xa4\x96\xe5\x9c\xb0\xe5\x8f\x91\xe7\x8e\xb0\xe8\xbf\x99\xe5\xae\xb6\xe5\xba\x97\xe5\x88\xab\xe6\x8f\x90\xe6\x9c\x89\xe5\xa4\x9a\xe6\x83\x8a\xe5\x96\x9c\xe4\xba\x86!\xe7\x9c\x9f\xe7\x9a\x84\xe6\x98\xaflucky me\xef\xbc\x81 \xe8\xbf\x98\xe6\x9c\x89\xe9\xab\x98\xe9\xa2\x9c\xe5\x80\xbc\xe7\x9a\x84\xe5\xba\x97\xe5\x91\x98\xe5\xb0\x8f\xe5\x93\xa5\xe5\x93\xa5\xe5\xb0\x8f\xe5\xa7\x90\xe5\xa7\x90 \xe4\xbb\x8a\xe5\xa4\xa9\xe6\x98\xaf\xe5\x9c\xa8Toronto\xe8\xa1\x8c\xe7\xa8\x8b\xe7\x9a\x84\xe6\x9c\x80\xe5\x90\x8e\xe4\xb8\x80\xe5\xa4\xa9 \xe5\xa4\x9c\xe5\xae\xb5\xe8\x89\x8b\xe8\x88\xba\xe9\xb8\xa1\xe6\x8e\x92\xe9\x85\x8d\xe4\xb8\x8a\xe4\xb8\xb8\xe4\xbd\x9c\xe7\x9a\x84\xe5\xa5\xb6\xe8\x8c\xb6 \xe7\xae\x80\xe7\x9b\xb4\xe6\x98\xaf\xe5\x9c\x86\xe6\xbb\xa1\xef\xbc\x81 I tried the "Hot Chick" fried chicken and was pretty underwhelmed. The actual chicken portion and cook was spot-on. It\'s a nice, moist, hearty helping of white meat (def nothing comparable to KFC/Popeyes, if that\'s what you\'re seeking). The decor/atmosphere is pretty great as well, as was the service. But the seasoning (at least the "Hot Chick" one) was semi-offputting. It\'s not spicy, but kind of a semi-sweet BBQ rub that is fairly overpowering and just not tasty.. at least not in my opinion. Next time I will try the signature Seaweed rub. 2.5/5 Really great place for fried chicken. Chicken is fresh and nicely seasoned. Thin and evenly layered on the fried batter. Doesn't have that slightly heavy oily aftertaste that some fried chicken have. Wings are half-priced on Wed with the purchase of a drink (~$14). Had the milky papaya and it was reasonably smooth and sweet with a coconuty undertone. Nice contrast to the fried chicken. Staff was friendly too and the place felt pretty chill.\n\nOverall, just a really great place for some honest fried chicken! | asian fusion | 12,819 |
Restaurent name is: Teriyaki Grill Express
review: This is for the sugar creek location. They're not on Yelp. Please beware of ordering anything from this restaurant. We had a very bad experience. Love the teriyaki chicken Bento box. \nThe sushi is really good too. Nice and clean. \nand always friendly \nThere Ramen noodle soup is always very good. Food is always served fresh. Their specials are not at a great price. In fact, the place is rather pricey for what you get, but I keep going back for over a year now so they're doing something right. It's never a long wait for your food. The place is clean. The staff are casual but professional. It's in a convenient location for the Hickory Grove area. I LOVE TERIYAKI GRILL EXPRESS!! The food is always consistent no matter what it is and all the employees are amazing. Love this place. The good is great, especially the bourbon chicken. It is not to sweet and the chicken is prepared perfectly. The location is a little hard to get into and out of but the food and service make it worth it. | japanese | 12,820 |
Restaurent name is: Gadzooks Enchiladas and Soup
review: Yum! Our first visit to this newly opened gem in the neighborhood was great! It was busy so you had to wait in line for a bit but one of the staff came around with menus to pass out and ask if we had any questions. The food is very tasty and you can customize it the way you want it. Watching them make the home made tortillas, you know you are in for good food. The grapefruit margaritas are very tasty as well. I look forward to visiting this restaurant again soon to try something different. Love their jalapeno cornbread enchiladas with the Christmas sauce. $8 for 2 enchiladas is a pretty good deal considering the location. They also have bison as a special item and is worth trying as well Awesome enchiladas. Guacamole was great. Sangria and margaritas were great. Can't complain about anything. Super authentic and yummy! Feel like the portions are a little bit smaller than the store in downtown Phoenix. But still it's yummy in my tummy and in my neighborhood. It beats the bill down the street! Food was really good, a bit on the expensive side but over all very good. It's very difficult to hear what they are saying on the other side because of the glass which I haven't had issues with at other places but oh well. It was a little busy and to be expected since they recently opened. \nOne of the gals that works here (the one from Minnesota) was absolutely fantastic. She handed us our menu when we got there and explained everything, and after we sat down to eat she was doing something else and came by to see how everything was. She was personable, knowledgeable and working hard. | mexican | 12,821 |
Restaurent name is: Habanero Grill
review: The food is super awesome. 5 dollar lunch taco combo is a great deal. My son had the carne asada fries were the bomb. Not too busy. Hope they can make a go of it. What's the point in having a special requests section if your not going to follow the special request. What's so hard about not throwing lettuce and guacamole on the plate. People order without guacamole because they may be allergic. Ever think of that. Well I guess is back to Robertos. It's funny too...most of those guys don't speak English and the still get it right everytime. Step it up habaneros. This place is small! It's amazing food and customer service granted there is only one register which means there is only one person to help you with order. The same girl runs your food out to you if you are staying to eat or are taking it to go. Side if you are staying in to eat before your meal is ready they offer you sweet bread depending how many are in your party. We got two because it was just my boyfriend and I. We order a lunch special which is $5 comes with 5 tacos at random and a small drink, one there torta. Everything was absolutely amazing!!!! They give a bunch of sauces to choose from when they bring out your food it was great!!! I hope everyone enjoys as much as we did Really good food, got the 4 tacos special. Service is great too. Think I'd have this than Roberto's. Fresh tortillas make the great tacos outstanding I've been twice and I haven't tried anything but the tacos they are that good maybe one day I'll try something else | mexican | 12,822 |
Restaurent name is: Red Line Grill
review: What a fabulous find this was tucked away right off Bell.! The first time we went it was curiosity that brought us in and the search to find a great place to have breakfast. First of all the waitress Debbie was one of the best we've had here in Arizona. She made us feel welcome , took care of all our needs and had us laughing to boot. No , a waitress alone can't bring people back, but when you have a great waitress, delicious food and fair prices most likely they'll be back. It's also nice to see owners on the premises and interacting with their customers .this is a winner! After driving by many times, my better half and I decided to try Red Line Grill.\n\nWhen we entered for lunch, the restaurant was a ghost town. All except a local drunken man passed out on the bar. Zero other patrons.\nThat should have been our sign to leave.\n\nFood was absolutely not made in house. Smelled of plastics and rubber. Wait staff, ended up being the owners Mother, was quite abrupt and rude.\n\nAfter talking to a few friends, we found the overall concensus to be quite negative. Many other options in the neighborhood I was here for vacation and yelp suggested this place for breakfast. I just wanted basic eggs/bacon so nothing fancy. We decided to sit outside because it was nice out and quieter than being inside. We got our drink order as we sat down and then were forgotten for the rest of the meal. After our server dropped off the coffee she disappeared and never came back. We finished our coffee and wondered if anyone would be coming to get our order and contemplated just leaving altogether. Another server showed up but didn't notice our empty cups. He took our order and started to walk away so we had to stop him to ask for more coffee. He dropped a carafe off and brought us our food when it was done. He didn't bother to bring any condiments out which we noticed sitting on other tables. We had to get sugar from another table as well because that wasn't brought to us. It's little things like that on top of being forgotten that made this a negative experience. I wished we had the other server who was waiting on the other outside tables because she was on it. We watched her come back and check on her customers several times. We just got the short end of the service stick. Really cool place to bring my wife and kids to hang and great food. This is our second visit on 2 weeks and they remembered us and our first orders impressive! They are clean and mildly entertaining not too over the top. I would recommend redline to anyone who wants to hang with friends or family or even alone it's such a chill atmosphere. Will definitely be back. Had a great Reuben for dinner then game back for a Greek omelette for breakfast. I recommend both. | american (new) | 12,823 |

review: Terribly rude delivery boy with cleft lip rude talking down to me disgusted that I was the Customer saying stuff like "how did you find out about us" in a way as if he was shocked I found them thier rice was greasy and had to much soy sauce the dumplings was ok but I won\'t be eating thier again seems like thier looking for more of a all American customer base my husband is white (marine) I\'m black but if only you seen how rude he was to me and disgusted by me your mouth would have dropped eat here at your own risk This place is very nice. I was a little confused about the name, but when I met Gary and the staff, I understood! They are great! Very friendly. While I was standing at the counter ordering my take out, I noticed the LARGE selection of smoothies on the wall, right behind the counter. O.M.G., I thought. That's awesome! I couldn't help myself. I had to order a smoothie, Blueberry-Pomegranate, with my meal. Mmmmmm, goood. Great pork dumplings, too! Amazing customer service, fast delivery, delicious food! Highly recommend this location it was way better then any other locations we have previously ordered from. Really good authentic Chinese food, the dumpling is good, and their fruit smoothies are awesome! Oh and the stuff are really friendly and very welcoming.. Well come back! Great staff! You can really tell they care. Just ordered the food, but all of their recommendations were taken and very excited to try. | chinese | 12,824 |
Restaurent name is: Mediterranean Market
review: My family Loved this place! Food is excellent! Family business. Service was top notch! They make you feel like you are at home! Prices are good. Portions are huge! We will our regular spot. My daughter is still talking about her gyro. Seriously great gyros, and the owner is so nice! SOOOOO much better than Mike & Tony's, everything is made FRESH!! My first visit to this market in the Southside was after a long night Southside night. So, standing at the corner of carson and 21st and seeing a place that is still serving Gyro's, there was no greater feeling. I had one and it was great, so I got another. Now at this time of night, my judgement could have been a bit jaded, but I tried them again later. Still great. Plus during the day they have a small family run mediterranean market that is perfect if you live close to that area so you dont have to walk further down carson. Was very impressed. Food was yummy. Good vegetarian selection. Delivered quickly. Would defiantly order from here again! My favorite Levantine (means foods like hummus, baba ganoush, taboule, gyros) in Pittsburgh! Delicious, reasonably priced, great service. They do everything the right way, with flavor! There aren't enough places like this in the city. Places that are family owned serving great food are a luxury people don't appreciate enough. Please try this place, you won't be disappointed!

Restaurent name is: Dillinger's Tap Room
review: How do you ignore a place that has 50 beers on tap?\n\nI pulled up a seat at the bar and took a deep sigh at the sight of normal crap on tap. Normally when bars boast about their draft lis they have good things on draft...seeing Coors, Bud/bud light, and miller on tap was a little heartbreaking. However my heart was mended further down the tap line when I saw some personal favorites (Hefeweziens and ciders).\n\nThe bar was pretty dead so we had not trouble getting the bartenders attention and she was nice enough to give us generous samples. The was poured well and reasonably priced (5-6 per glass). \n\nI didn't order anything to drink, so I cant attest to the food, but stop in to have a good cheap beer and watch one of there many TVs. I really want to like Dillinger's. We live in the neighborhood and find ourselves considering it often for a quick bite and burger. Each time we've gone, the waitstaff has been nice, albeit distracted by tending to the bar area in addition to our table. Other reviewers have praised the burgers and I'll second that. I ordered a veggie burger on our first visit -- when our food was delivered, I took a bite and knew it wasn't a veggie burger but kept on going. So good.\nBe warned. They do have fifty beers on tap. But they're frequently behind the seasonal ball with taps that were relevant two months ago. The last time I was there, I ordered a beer, only to have the waitstaff come back, apologize, and say they were out. We went through this twice more, dipping into my B-team beer choices before finding one they actually had on tap. I'm not a beer snob, but if a large beer selection is going to be your calling card, you have to own it and not let that one thing slide. Because of this, we now think twice before walking over there.\nSecond warning: If you are not a fan of death metal, just know this is what will probably be playing when you get there and probably be playing when you leave. We now know to pay attention to what's playing when you walk in because there will be NO variety in the music. Which may be great for some, but not for us.\nOn the plus side, it's never hard to get a table at Dillinger's. Possibly because it's a specific clientele that's frequenting this tasty burger joint. My boyfriend and I love Dillingers, we used to go a lot when they first opened! The owners were very talkative with us along with the bar staff. However, we stopped going so much when they were constantly out of beers that they had listed on the menu. We stopped back in last week and the menu changed but it is still above average bar food!!!! They still have a great beer selection (when they are not out), I am worried that whenever I go in here there is hardly any other customers. I hope business is going well and they do not close down because I really like this place and the fact that they offer free parking!!! I stopped in here just for a few quick brewskies. This is the old Stool Pigeons and it hasn't changed much inside. Parking is a little tricky in this part of time - watch the meters - I have seen folks towed who haven't fed the meters!\n\nThere is a good beer selection and bar food - I will have to update this review after I try the food. My review today is based on 1) location (very convenient to Uptown) 2) the bartenders were running around very quickly trying to make sure everyone was happy and that we always had a fresh beer 3) great atmosphere, especially for the game. \n\nThe booths are wide and cozy so you will have plenty of space for all of your friends. HUGE TV screen in the back and TVs all around the room. \n\nIt is a young crowd - this will not change due to the proximity of apartment buildings near by. Will definitely be back!! Stopped in here on a Friday night after seeing a musical at Belk theater. A very good band, Alex Christie and the Mystery were playing. I enjoyed the beer specials and the food was great. My friend thought the fried pickles were the best she ever had. I would definitely stop here for a beer and food again. | american (traditional) | 12,826 |
Restaurent name is: Chatime - Dundas
review: Usually all I drink out of the house is tap water or cheap Tim Hortons ice coffee. But today I broke my norm and tried this asian drink shop! With no previous knowledge on the world of bubble tea or matcha or whatever, I got the Coffee Smoothie with tapioca balls, and It was absolutely wonderful! My first time drinking tapioca balls in my drink and it just tasted wonderful, along with the familiar taste of coffee. It's comparable to a Frappuccino at Starbucks, but has a more pleasant texture and coffee flavour to it! It was the same price as a frap even with the tapioca balls, and it was an amazing new experience! Very satisfied with my purchase, and I'm definitely going to be coming back! Passed by this place on the way home during their grand opening and been back a few times since. By far the best tasting bbt I\'ve had in the area. Has good tea flavour and even their matcha drinks actually taste like it (pet peeve when I order "green tea matcha" anything and tastes nothing like matcha). \n\nI have tried the matcha milk tea, reg. milk tea and the green tea yoghurt. All of which was delicious. Only con is the price compared to other shops (avg. $5) \n\nI usually get 30% sugar with no ice. Found 100% much too sweet for my liking. Friendly staff and always fast service. I visited Chatime last week on a weekday just before 1 o'clock. It was not too busy at the time. My friend suggested that I try the Chatime Roasted Milk Tea with grass jelly. She even specifically told me to order it with less ice and 80% sugar. The taste is pretty interesting and I like it. For whatever reason, it reminds me of VitaSoy's malted soybean milk. Mmm...and I love grass jelly!\n\nI took another friend of mine to try their Roasted Milk Tea with grass jelly last night. Despite being a rainy Wednesday evening, we still had to wait 20 minutes in line. This little teashop was incredibly crowded. But once I placed our order, it was not long before we received our drinks. \n\nThe cashier also gave me a reward card last night. You receive one point for every drink, and after 10 points, you get a free regular tea. \n\nAside from the Roasted Milk Tea, I also ordered a Matcha Tea Latte. It was very powdery and it was bitter even with 80% sugar. (I will just go to Starbucks if I ever want a green tea latte...)\n\nI'm sure I will return because I like the fact that they give you the option to choose how much ice and sugar you want in your drink, and the Roasted Milk Tea is pretty good. Ordered a Taro milk tea here.. absolutely disgusting. So powdery I could taste clumps. It was like drinking sand. The only redeeming factor was the tapioca which was very chewy and well flavoured. I don't think I will be coming back. I like this Chatime mainly for its location. It is nearby Yonge-Dundas square, the mall, restaurants, and the theatre. I come here pretty often since its closeby to the places I hangout around. \n\nI have tried many of their products. My favorites are the roasted milk tea, brewed oolong, honeydew milk tea, and brown rice green tea. I am not a huge fan of their juices or anything fruity flavor. I personally like the milk-based drinks. I like their tapioca, grass jelly, and pudding for toppings. In terms of sweetness, I generally ask for zero sweetness because everything is already quite sweet for my liking. \n\nOne thing I don't like about this location is how tiny it is. It can get really crowded even if you are just getting takeout. There isn't much space for you to stand while waiting for your drink. | chinese | 12,827 |
Restaurent name is: Caminero Mexican Restaurant
review: Love it here. Everything is delicious. Authentic Mexican food!\nI work next door and eat there a couple times a week. My favorites are the chili rellenos and soft chicken tacos. But it's all really good. Especially the salsas. Great food. This is our new go to place for take out Mexican food. Food is fresh and the Salsa Bar is awesome. Fantastic local restaurant. This place has really awesome, quick mexican food. They have a lot of options on their menu and have a big selection of sauces. They even have a really spicy salsa that my boyfriend is obsessed with because its the hottest he has been able to find. Highly recommend. Holy guacamole! Great authentic Mexican joint. We had the carne asada plate, tacos dorados, tacos al pastor, and kids had the bean tostada. All were fresh and tasty! They get four stars simply because the seating area is tight. Like other reviewers noted, they do a ton of takeout. We go here for their breakfast burritos. They are huge! Always fill you up and most the time i never finish the last of it. They have bomb salsa and chips also. Love this place! My hubby gets the watermelon drink and loves it i dont care for watermelon but it's actually good! | mexican | 12,828 |
Restaurent name is: Five Guys
review: The burgers are great! The fries are good. The prices are ok. When ordering their french fries be sure to add Cajun spice on them and order 1 or 2 sizes SMALLER than you normally would. A large will literally feed 3 or 4 adults! A great place if you\'re wanting a "really good burger", but it will set 2 people back around $25. That\'s kinda steep for a mall food court. I love Five Guys but this location gives the whole chain a bad name. First, girl taking the order screams for "one party" as loud as she can. I ordered a Diet Coke that tasted like nothing but syrup. Sodas were broken. Then came the burger. Wrong! Then witnessed them get the order wrong twice. Horrible. Such a small menu and can\'t get it right. I\'ve personally never had any problems with the food here but the service has never been even remotely close to "good". Some of the younger kids that work there think they run the whole mall. I walked up to the register and the guy didn\'t even look up he just yelled WE CLOSED. I replayed with " I thought y\'all close when the food court closes which is in 30 min?" He said nope we\'re closing early tonight sorry. I felt powerless boarder line profiled but I just simply walked away bc your can\'t argue with ignorance. Long story short I will NOT be returning to this restaurant. Veey good Service !\nHamburger is tasty and fresh, generous amount of chippes .\nA lot of Greace I've been to this five guys two different times and both times I stood there for over three minutes before someone came to take my order. The second time I went they also denied that they were open until ten when the website said otherwise and even if they closed at nine it was still five minutes til. I have worked in retail and the restaurant business and the customer always comes first. Unfortunately for this five guys they don't understand that concept. I will be taking my business elsewhere. | american (new) | 12,829 |
Restaurent name is: Naked City Pizza Shop
review: Ha! We almost missed this place because it's literally a dive bar where no one under 21 is allowed inside, no windows, etc.\n\nWe ordered inside at a little window, then went over to the bar and had a Tenaya Creek Las Vegas beer on tap and a Tokyo Tea. The bartender Jennifer was a hoot!\n\nThe Cesar salad was my favorite dish.\n\nWe had a small order of the suicide fries (thank gawd we got the small size, because it burned my mouth and we were all crying, so a small dose is much better)......we all liked them.\n\nThen we had the chicken wings, hot, and they were great.\n\nWe got a slice of pizza, which had mushrooms and steak on top, but the crust is like bread, thick dough. \n\nWe came for the pizza and liked that least of all.\n\nWe are glad we came, it's a fun bar, super friendly, but I wouldn't go back, once was enough. Everyone should try the suicide fries once in their life! When I came here, it was a Tues or Wed afternoon. We pulled in, and i didn't think this could possibly be the place. I verified three different ways, and thought...this is so sketchy. Then I had the food. I can not think about buffalo anything without salivating over their buffalo chicken dip. It really was amazing food. The atmosphere...very dive bar (very very dive bar), but OMG the food. Yummy food! Whenever I'm out of town, I always make it a mission to check out local pizza and wing joints. This place did not disappoint. It was good to get away from the Strip to dine out. Pizza and wings were great. The atmosphere may be a turn off because it's in a dive bar. If you get pass that, this place is worth the trip. Love the Divey Bar, relaxed atmosphere, good for small groups (table for 10-12 max), great food! Loaded Fries, pizza and wings, can't go wrong! Super nice staff, that kept busy. Music playing ranged from country to hip-hop! All variety of folks in here, from all over the US, and the locals love it too! Have come every year for several years, and always look forward to coming back! Naked City is always a stop every time I am in Vegas!! I can't wait till I get to go back in \nSeptember.\n\nBut please bring back the Philly Cheese steak rolls!!!! | italian | 12,830 |
Restaurent name is: Thai Kitchen
review: Nice little spot, convenient to the Griffin Cider House across the street. Service was friendly but not very professional. The food was good but not great, and a little on the pricey side for the quantity served. It was clean, and the open kitchen concept was good. Probably would not go back, given the many options in the area. Thai kitchen has improved with the new ownership than it was 5 some years ago when i started eating here. Now I come here on a weekly basis to get my Thai fixings.\nThe taste has improved 110% from the old owners, (the old owners, an older married couple are related to the new owners as well. they are cousins). \nThe menu has new additions, and my favorite is H2, the bangkok lo-mein, followed by KS5 the basil fried rice, and KS2 green with duck, amazing can't go wrong !! No MSG, they can make meals according to your spice capabilities, they have brown rice as well (and it's really good, never had anything like it before), and spring rolls freshly made on a daily basis. This women works hard to make her food taste good, and it shows.\nI like that the servers (two who switch off with each other) don't come annoying you every 5 minutes as they do in other chain restaurants. When they see you're running low on water they fill it propmply, and still follow up just enough times that you have an enjoyable meal. And i still wonder how they have time to do their homework in the back corner sometimes, their both serious about school.\nThe food is great, the atmosphere is great. It almost feel as if you're in Thailand by with all the decorations and pictures on the wall. \nI recommend to all the people who said it's not good, go back and try again, because i have yet to be disappointing, and whenever i am dining in other customers say the same as me. \nA great hole in the wall joint. Thai Kitchen is the shizzzz!\n\nSeriously...\n\nIt's run by a sweet couple who speak broken English. They have some of the best Thai food in town. Service is always great and they are super friendly. When I lived on the west side, this was my go-to place. I love the Pad Thai, the curries and the rice paper rolls.\n\nI can't say a whole lot for the ambiance, it's a bit cramped in there. But I have eaten in plenty of times. I can't imagine they could accommodate a large group, so if you are entertaining, I would go elsewhere.\n\nIf you want some great Thai food at a reasonable price, this is THE place. Really good food, home cooked, at a reasonable price - it's not dirt cheap, but neither is the quality. This place is a neighborhood staple that has made some capital improvements over the years, but it still feels like the food is from a grandmother's recipe book. I've never had any dish here that seemed anything other than freshly made, fresh vegetables, etc. They serve you the spice level that you request, so be cautious if you're thinking of ordering an 8 or 9! My review starts with my over the phone ordering experience. The woman who I initially spoke with was quite kind and helpful. She was willing to explain exactly what was in each dish I inquired about as I have several food limitations and a few allergies. At this point, no complaints at all. \n\nThe food was mediocre in my opinion. The one item I was able to try was the pad Thai, and it certainly wasn\'t the best I\'ve had in Cleveland and it\'s not the worst either. The rice noodles were well prepared, chicken well cooked, but overall a bit on the dry side. \n\nMy issue with this restaurant came when the order was brought home and it was discovered that a dish that I had specifically ordered with certain things omitted had ALL of those omitted items in the dish. I immediately called to explain the situation and that I would not be able to eat the dish, and that I had specifically asked for these items to be omitted from the dish. This time, I was speaking with a different woman. Her response was not one of apology over the mistake in the order. She put me on hold and I heard her ask someone else about my order (I\'m assuming that it was the first woman I spoke with). When she came back to the phone, she said "well, you have to pick out the stuff that you can\'t eat." Are you serious? No offer to remake the dish that was their mistake, no apology... I most definitely will not be back. | thai | 12,831 |
Restaurent name is: Katsuten
review: Do yourself a favour and get over to Katsuten. Their cheese katsu is off the hook. We rolled in here tonight to try something new. We should have known this place was legit. I was the only white dude in the joint ala Lost in Translation. Fast, friendly service, followed by a delicious meal. We will be back! I\'ve had lunch twice here. We stumbled on this place by pure accident driving by a plaza near my office. It\'s tucked away as part of a plaza and not visible from a major intersection. Bright yellow interior, small and simple. \n\n1st time- we all ordered the hot stone bibimbap. Oh wow, it was tasty and love how everything stays warm. So many veggies and that sunny side up egg was perfect! One of my gf\'s is vegetarian and our waitress was very helpful- she offered to remove the beef and add extra veggies, asked if she ate eggs and if so, how she wanted it cooked. I said I was lactose intolerant and she asked if butter was ok for me. So attentive! We had a lovely lunch at noon on a Tuesday and said we\'d return.\n\n2nd time- my gf and I both ordered the loin katsu with curry and shared the shrimp dumplings. These were small pieces but tasty. Not sure if I\'d order them again. Also be warned that the "curry" is like a gravy with carrots, onions and velvety smooth. It is not yellow Indian or Thai curry in flavour or texture. The flavour is rich like a great gravy that\'d I\'d pour on steak or Yorkshire pudding. The loin katsu had an excellent crispy coating and was very thick and filling. I almost didn\'t finish but was a trooper and left the rice but ate the katsu!!! If you are the area, stop in for a solid meal. I\'m ready to go back for the bibimbap again next week... Best Katsu Don I have had in Calgary. On par with some places I ate at in Japan. Takoyaki was very delicious and right amount of crispy on the outside with decent size of octopus meat inside. Definitely plan to return and try out the curry and other options on the menu!! Great service and did not feel overwhelmed but never needed to get the attention of our server. Amazingly delicious katsu! The pork tenderloin katsu is soooo tender and juicy. The lotus root salad is also great. Service is very friendly and courteous. Will definitely return! Neighbourhood Gem. The chicken katsu was flavourful, moist and tender. They make the katsu sauce in house. I'm looking forward to going back and trying other dishes. | japanese | 12,832 |
Restaurent name is: Hunan King Restaurant
review: This place has really good Chinese food everytime I go I order the sweet and sour chicken which is really good also the General Tso's chicken which is excellent and their boneless ribs excellent It's not expensive and the portions that they give you are pretty big. Their soups are good for wonton soup excellent. The staff there is very nice and the restaurant is very clean. Been around the world and this place is still 5 stars. Always on time. Never have to wait when I order over phone. I have been going to this place since I was a child. Thank you to my mom and aunts. Love how quick the service is as well as the food just tastes so darn good. Definitely worth paying cash. Love it. Don't even live in Lorain anymore, but when I come home its the first place I think of when I want chicken and broccoli. Excellent food. We found it on the GPS from the Interstate. Good Service and good prices. Clean. Doesn't look like much from the outside. By far one of my favorites for pork fried rice and chicken and broccoli they have great egg rolls too | chinese | 12,833 |
Restaurent name is: Why Not Italian
review: Great place, cozy and romantic, and the food is delicious. Had an a great night. The service was lovely. Very happy Absolutely the serenity needed, true Italian style. Missed this fantastic spot, forgotten gem and I'm happy to be back. Thank you Dining room is dirty, glassware and utensils,dirty spotted unpolished, lipstick still on glasses, food is overpriced. Very small selection of bar often out of items. We moved to the neighbourhood and tried Why Not Italian for the first time. This is a family ran business but needs work on there professionalism. When they waitress (I think the daughter) ask me how my food was. Now in all fairness I am Italian so I did point out what I was disappointed in. For example the carbonara being cooked in a Alfredo cream-based. She became extremely defensive and then went to talk to the chef (I think her father) and from the dinning room to the kitchens started arguing about my order. Honestly I was so uncomfortable I just was to leave. But my family was still eating there meal. \nIf it was just the food I may have gone back. But the arguing in front of my family, makes me never want to try this place again We were looking for somewhere to eat that was new and not too far, Matt was craving Italian, and this restaurant came up high in the Yelp search. After arriving, I realized I\'d already eaten here, years ago! Funny how you forget. It hasn\'t changed, which isn\'t a bad thing. The front entrance is a bit narrow, so beware anyone with mobility issues. In fact, I bet larger wheelchairs would have a heck of a time, if they\'re able to make it through at all.\n\nIt\'s not a large restaurant, although perhaps a little bigger than one would think looking in from outside. They manage to get a lot of seating in, anyhow. When we arrived on this visit, there was a family of four with two small children eating, so it\'s obviously a good joint for adults and kids alike, although we were pretty early so I imagine the age of diners would go up the later the evening wanes.\n\nThe service is great - the food awesome. We liked the little bun with a "bottom" the bruschetta comes on because it means that the middle doesn\'t get soggy and the tomatoes fall through. The pasta dishes were awesome. I broke my no dairy rule to have the gnocchi gargonzola. It could have used a touch more "blue cheese" taste, but otherwise amazing and creamy. Worth the pain later :P \n\nAnd the price is right. Definitely affordable. Parking is ample, especially in the evening when most of the other stores are closed. A gem in an unexpected strip mall. | italian | 12,834 |
Restaurent name is: Sacred Hogan Navajo Frybread
review: preface: i was hungry on memorial day, and i didn\'t have any food at home, and i had no intention of going food shopping or any intention of leaving the house in general.\n\nso, grubhub it was to see who was going to be the lucky winner to deliver food to me -- and to my surprise, it was either this place or pizza, and i don\'t do pizza. everything else was closed.\n\nshockingly, the minimum via grubhub was $25, which with tip, tax, etc, really came out to $35 -- but whatever -- it\'s the cost of being lazy.\n\nso, obviously, i over-ordered, which i guess was a good thing because i got a solid sampling of food. here\'s what i got:\n\nmutton hominy stew: on first attempt, this was one extremely boring meal. i\'m not one for salty or over-spiced foods, but i had to dose this puppy with salt *and* butter to get it to taste like something other than wet meat and corn. once the salt and butter were supplemented, it was rather good.\n\nnavajo lamb sandwich: again, a little on the plain side. no sauce, no mayo, no juice -- chopped vegetables, unseasoned grilled lamb and unseasoned grilled peppers. i liked the flavor of the grilled peppers, and the lamb was just ok. the whole thing was "meh" -- needed some pizazz, but certainly large and in charge.\n\nfry bread with honey: obviously, very good. when your restaurant is named "sacred hogan navajo frybread" it had better be.\n\noverall: come for the frybread if that\'s what you got a hankering for. otherwise unless you like food that tastes like the raw ingredients food is cooked with, simply combined, pass on actually using this establishment as a "restaurant". I have been on a mission of sorts to find the best fry bread in the city. This wasn't it, unfortunately. The owners were nice but not too upbeat. The restaurant itself is in a small plaza that is easy to miss when driving by (I know because I've driven by it about 100 times and never noticed it). The interior of Sacred Hogan is a bit run down but appears to be pretty clean. \n\nI ordered red chili beef stew with plain fry bread. The serving size was fine, but a bit expensive for what it was. I felt like the stew was something I could make at home and probably with more flavor. The fry bread was ok but greasier and chewier than I like.\n\nI might go back to try the tacos or burgers, but I won't be in a hurry to do so. Enough with the Frybread!!!\n\nAt least for me. The appeal that draws me to this place...they serve tortillas. As an health conscious, recent nutrition grad, I can do without Frybread for the most part. Of course I will have it occasionally, but tortillas won my heart over. That day however, I did both.\n\nI once looked for this place and couldn\'t find it, thinking it was shut down after many u-turns I scurried off somewhere else for lunch. Luckily friend showed me the right way.\n\nI was having a bad day, and friend mentioned Sacred Hogan...instant happiness. Jump into the car and we\'re racing to feed our appetites. \n\n"Hmmm what to order, what to order?!"\nTheir menu is pretty sizable and varied, yes! Tacos...eh. Mutton stew...yes! Blue corn mush...OMG. Spam and egg ... I have found heaven. I was surprised how many things from home were found here and not so Americanized. We ordered and knew it was gnna be sometime to get our food, so grabbed a Navajo Times to read. I don\'t know why people complain about the wait time, it was at least 10 mins but this isn\'t a fast food joint nor the fairgrounds. \n\nThe one meal I was so happy to get was the roast mutton with frybread. Onions, lettuce, tomato, GREEN CHILE, and doubled my tender mutton...bingo! Every bite was divine and not so gluttonous. It was pretty good I wanted more mutton. Friend and I shared one with Tortilla....even better. Washing it down with some iced Navajo tea was great, just needed more ice though. \n\nFor dessert I opted for the blue corn mush. Big bowl I might say, had to share it. With a hint of sugar, I was set. \n\nBelly full and ready for the check....wait!! Wow! This place is quite pricey, but I understand...they are using mutton, not beef. 3 mutton sandwiches, 1 Navajo burger, blue corn mush, 3 drinks later, our bill was approx $50. Mind you that we also doubled our mutton too.\n\nLuckily my friend pays when we eat out, lucked out that time. Overall I love this place. More so than Fry Bread House, mostly likely because I\'m biased as I am Navajo. We had their Groupon and decided to try it on our way up to North Phoenix. We ordered the Green Chili and Beef Frybread Taco and their Red Chili Stew to go. We ate the frybread while driving. The whole thing was absolutely bland. I found 1 sliver of beef in the whole thing. Very disappointing. \n\nI suggested to my fianc\xc3\xa9e that maybe the stew would be better. I grabbed the bag from the floor board and set it in my lap. I took out the frybread, and instantly felt the worst pain on my thigh. The boiling-hot magma stew had soaked through the bag and sent a raging inferno to my inner thigh. Yelling and crying, I set the bag on the flood board. We pulled into a Walgreens to grab some burn ointment and clean my jeans off. \n\nI tried moving the bag and the paper tore and the rest of the stew spilled on the floor. \n\nAdvice for the restaurant: if you want repeat business, don't serve still-boiling stew to new customers in a g-d paper cup!. The place literally smells like a toilet inside. I am not normally that sensitive. But this was really bad. The owner was not at all friendly. I asked nicely if they would wrap the fry bread separate because I was driving 20 miles with it and it met with much disdain. That is unfortunate when I'm the only customer in your business. Go across the street to The Fry Bread House. MUCH better service, food, and no smell. | american (traditional) | 12,835 |
Restaurent name is: Serrano's Mexican Food Restaurants
review: delicious and well priced. salsa, bean dips, chips were very flavorful. chimchanga w/ shredded chicken was good, not the best IMO, but good. the sopapillas were excellent. great service and decor. clean bathroom, too. This is one of my family's favorites! We have been coming here for 10+ years, and the quality and recipes have never wavered! Know that I married a bring my wife here once or twice a month, her favorite dish is the quesadilla with Machaca, plenty of cheese, and a healthy portion of meat! I have a couple of favorites! The Sonoran style enchiladas are amazing, as well as their green chile burrito! This place is very reasonably priced, with great service, an authentic Mexican cuisine. Do not miss out!! Stopped in to treat my mom to lunch. We viewed the lunch specials which all come with rice and beans. I ordered the taco lunch special and my mom ordered the cheese enchilada lunch special. Our waitor told her that she could only have rice or beans not both. Then Megan, another waitress came over to explain that my mom should have said cheese enchilada lunch combo in order to get rice AND beans. I explained that the menu clearly states that "lunch specials" (which includes a cheese enchilada) includes rice AND beans. After asking for the menu, Megan proceeded to point out that we have to say combo even though the menu says special in order to get rice AND beans. Who knew a menu could be so cryptic Consistent good Mexican food, great service. Colton is a nice server. Manager is always friendly. Seems like everything runs good from the kitchen to the front. Good Job! I wish I could give zero stars that's how bad it was. First off my order had rice but the lady that dropped it off was not my waitress and gone so fast I couldn't even say anything. My waitress no where to be found. I scrapped the rice off and left it on the side of the table in plain view. My chile relleno was so bland and the so called egg batter was only a cooked egg with zero flavor which I added to the rice plate. Waitress finally walks by does not acknowledge us. I have eaten only two bites. I finally have to ask bus boy for check. Waitress comes over gets money. I'm heated so say nothing. She comes back and says to me do you want a to go box. Are you serious? Bye the way at this point I have added everything back on the original plate and set in on the edge of the table. I just laughed and said no way. We will never eat here again! | mexican | 12,836 |
Restaurent name is: Parry's Pizzeria & Bar
review: Parry's is great! I came for the first time for lunch and service was fantastic-great lunch specials. The next time I came, we had Brandon and he was super helpful and encouraged we try the Parmesan bites which are freaking addictive! It's a must try! Also Brian our bartender was a bit dismissive. But he got everything right and was knowledgable, I do want to add that. First time here and it was a great experience! Great beer selection, coming from a craft beer lover. Servers and bartenders were so friendly and knowlegable about food and drink items. The crispy beans are phenomenal. Mimi was awesome! Will definitely be back! 8 have eaten here for dinner 3 times, always at the bar as I am travelling for work when I eat here. The pizza is pretty good, meatball sub and wings are better than the pizza I have tried here. Great craft beer selection. Bar staff always friendly, courteous and provide prompt service. Went for the first time, probably won\'t be back. Pizza is ok, but not worth the price. The pizza looked big when it came out but was paper thin and lacking on the cheese. Normally I eat 2-3 slices at a time, here both of us ate 4 slices to be full. I\'m not quite sure why it\'s $1 more for "spices" on a cheese pizza. Shouldn\'t they all have flavor? Lunch specials were nothing special. Prices are way too high for what it is. I\'m not looking to spend $20 on a pizza with one topping. Just another fancy looking mediocre overpriced restaurant. One topping cost $3.50 just FYI if you plan on going here. | american (traditional) | 12,837 |
Restaurent name is: Tijuana Flats
review: Tex-Mex style grub that is always flavorful and filling but they give too many tortilla chips to "fill out" your order.\n\nDecent selection of sauces are available as well, so if you enjoy a bit of heat it\'s there for you, but nothing too hot unfortunately.\n\nThe dine-in experience is too crowded and loud though and you\'ll find that children may be put off by the hustle and bustle.\n\nStaffing is weird at this location...the employees walking around performing table service are always upbeat and helpful, while the counter staff...no matter the person, come across as bored, distracted and indifferent. Making you feel your order may not have been taken properly...and on occasion, it isn\'t. This place was pretty good. We went not knowing what to expect. I got the flautas. When I got them I was thinking it wouldn\'t fill me up but it actually did. Their queso isn\'t the "normal" but it is still tasty. My hubby got the bangin chicken burrito and said it was great! Next time I will try the cookie dough dessert. This place was awesome! Stopped in for the first time and they treated us like VIP's! Amazing customer service. The food was delicious. It's fresh and made to order. They have a salsa/hot sauce bar - something for everyone. Will definitely return when in the area. They have a open feeling dining room with mainly 90's music playing. The volume is loud enough to listen to but not too loud to have a conversation. The staff were friendly and there is nice atmosphere to make you feel at home. Love the Atom Bombs! Love the Hot Sauce Bar!! \nOnline ordering super fast and easy!! Sonny was great!!! | mexican | 12,838 |
Restaurent name is: Buffalo Wild Wings
review: I ordered medium boneless wings, small boneless wings, side of fries and side of buff chips through door dash. Delivery was fine but the order was all messed up. There was only light sauce on the wings, some of them were regular wings not boneless. There was only a small amount of chips and fries. Did not get great value for what we paid. I understand that prices are higher for door dash and I didn't mind paying but y'all didn't hold up your end and we are irritated enough to write. Service was spot on and the Lemon-Pepper dry rub hit the spot. It took a little longer then I thought it should. Our waitress was very attentive and kept the drinks full without issue. Potato skins with bacon, yes please. Popped in last night on my way home to pick up some to-go food and grab a quick drink. Not a place I typically go, but it was convenient at the moment. The bartender was nice, but it took almost 40 minutes to get my food. Flagged down a manager to ask if 40 minute ticket times were normal for a restaurant that was only about half full, but he didn't seem to care. You'd think after speaking to him he'd run right back to the kitchen to check on my food, but no, just continued to stand there. I then brought it up to the bartender who had to then leave the bar to check on my food. I ordered boneless wings and fries. Not something that should take 40 minutes. Get home to find my fries ice cold, and regular wings, not boneless. Disappointed to say the least. I'll inconvenience myself in the future. Good wings but make sure to ask for sauced wings or you get the dry-rub and it is cough inducing if your not ready for it. \n\nService was good but slow since we ordered wings and it wasn't very crowded and this is the main item they serve!!\n\nParking lot and outdoor seating. Great location, right off 74 in Matthews. I am not a big 5 star giver, but this place is good today.. awesome food, great view on the game.. half off the wings.. doesn't smell like smoke.. loving it right now.. | american (traditional) | 12,839 |
Restaurent name is: El Paraiso
review: This place is phenomenal. By far the best food in the area, and one very well-kept secret. Salvadorean family-owned and operated by the nicest people. The service can be a bit hit and miss, but the food is fresh and the salsa is made by hand daily. Truly a can't- miss for the Davidson/Cornelious area. If your looking for authentic Salvadoran food, you will not find it here. Their yucca with pork chunks, which is a typical dish was awful to put it mildly. Pork was very salty and tasted like old meat. The slaw was sub-par, the yucca ok. That was the most expensive yucca I ever ate. $9.99 for a very small portion of yucca and the pork which I did not eat. I thought I would give them a second chance, but it is still a no go. Pricey and food is meh!! Won't be back. Staff is friendly. But I don't want to pay pricey for friendly!! Such sweet people and so proud of their culture! We always do the take out method but this has been a family place for us. They always have the order correct, affordable and great if you need to feed the masses. The tacos are to die for! Ordered take out twice. We cannot believe how many times we've driven by and never stopped. Huge mistake! This food is AMAZING and the prices are comfortable. The atmosphere inside is really nice too. Now we just need to dine in for the full experience. Small quiet restaurant that we were introduced to. Very much enjoy the food here. We usually come at lunch & Enjoy the daily specials | mexican | 12,840 |
Restaurent name is: Ferrucci's Old Tyme Italian Market
review: Awesome sandwiches for lunch and meats to take home for dinner! We had the Italian and the pesto chicken salad on ciabatta. There is a great little Italian Market located in a strip plaza in Cornelius, NC that will have everything you are looking for. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Fresh sweet or hot sausage, and fresh meats as well. Homemade meatballs, lasagna rolls, antipasto salad and kalamata olives are only a few of the items in the full on deli case. Beautiful bread selection. The inside Wall is lined with olive oils, lupini beans, sauces, tomatoes, wine and dried pasta. Nice Italian cookies, pizzelles and biscotti and more. Hard to find Italian Nougat candies! They will be for my next visit to Ferrucci's ! Very nice little market. Staff is helpful and very polite. I had the Italian sub and loved it. I'll definitely be going back soon. ***** 4.5 stars *****\n\nI miss this place so much! It is the best Italian shop anywhere near Charlotte, and the only reason it's not a 5 is because it's so tiny, and thus gets REALLY busy on the weekends when everyone comes by to pick up their favorite treats. It can also be very pricey for some item, considering they're uncooked, but you definitely get the best quality meats out there.\n\nThey sell everything you can think of, from marinated cuts of all kinds of meat, about 20 different types of a la carte vegetable/side dishes, various pastries, and even homemade gelato! There is also a nice large wall section full of only Italian wines and they do weekly specials with in-store free tastings. I got some of the best steaks I've ever grilled here, and by far the best prosciutto I have ever eaten. The canolis here are also made fresh daily, and are absolutely delicious and LOADED with creme.\n\nThere's also a cute little patio area if you want to come by and have a fresh made deli sandwich, but just be warned there are only about 2 tables, so you may not get a seat. Also the hours are short most days, so if you're running late you may want to call ahead and be sure they're still open. Excellent sandwiches, reminds me of New York. Great selection in meats and Italian cooking products. Small local shop. Wish they had more seating besides outside but sufficient for their purpose which is more of a market than anything. | italian | 12,841 |
Restaurent name is: Mee-Ho
review: You get what you pay for. Wanted to try all the tacos but they asked a minimum of 2 per type of taco. So we took all 11 of them twice + the guacamole. The steak taco was better then the rest, I would not recommend the vegetarian ones. Ma m\xc3\xa8re et moi sommes tomb\xc3\xa9s sur ce restaurant en nous promenant sur St-Hubert. Notre arr\xc3\xaat tacos etant d'habitude El rey del tacos sur jean-talon mais avons d\xc3\xa9cider de faire ddifg\xc3\xa9ren. Premi\xc3\xa8rement l'accueil est chaleureux c'est une petite place o\xc3\xb9 l'on voit que le propri\xc3\xa8taire tr\xc3\xa8s sympatjique fait tout les efforts pour cr\xc3\xa9er une client\xc3\xa8le r\xc3\xa9guli\xc3\xa8re. Commerces familiale la pr\xc3\xa9sentation \xc3\xa9tait atrayante tacos pr\xc3\xa9sente sur une ardoise noir avec message personnalis\xc3\xa9 j'ai ador\xc3\xa9 et les portions \xc3\xa9tait bcp plus g\xc3\xa9n\xc3\xa9reuse que celle pr\xc3\xa9sente chez la concurrence qui a d\xc3\xa9j\xc3\xa0 sa client\xc3\xa8le. Je vais y retourner pour essayer les autres plats je suis certaine que ce seras un r\xc3\xa9gal. food was fresh and delicious. server was friendly, open, and a little pushy but we didn't really mind. we shared the guacamole and two cocktails and ordered the cactus tacos, steak tacos, and vegetarian enchiladas with mole. all were completely delightful. portions are such that you could say yes to everything and not be overstuffed. ambiance is kitschy but very warm and cheery. I will definitely be back to try more and enjoy this delicious and adorable resto. Mexican restaurant out of guacamole \n\n\nAnd the mojitos, well I think they were kid friendly. The alcohol content was probably close to was a cooler would be. In a way, not bad because I was thirsty and alcohol is not a great help in this situation. But I paid for mojitos, not soft drinks!(you know what I mean!!!)\n\nBut now, the food! It was ok. The flavours were different enough so you could tell the tacos apart, but nothing was really flavourful.\n\nI was with my mom and my sisters shopping and we sample all of the 1$ tacos. I think, I would have love it more if we had decent seating and plate or at least a napkin each. (I had to split my napkin in half because we only had 3 for 4 people)\n\nAlso, there is only one washroom, like one stall. The place look like a mess in the kitchen and even more in the bar.\n\nNo guacamole, bad mojitos and bad seating.\n\nWell, at least it's cheaper then McDonald's. But, with so many restaurants in the area, I would go and try out something else. Very disappointing, inauthentic Mexican meal. \n\nA friend and I were walking down the plaza and were drawn into the restaurant by its cute, attractive and bright Mexican decor.\n\nThe atmosphere and service were good, but the food was just bad. First, to be greeted by a server asking if we\'re familiar with Mexican food is a little off-putting in 2015, especially in a neighbourhood that is just booming with taquerias and other Latin American restaurants. \n\nFirst there was the tortilla soup. I love tortilla soup. This one was just a simple translucent chicken broth soup with tortilla chips in it. No spice, no peppers of any kind, no tomatoes, no cream, and grated cheese instead of queso fresco. When I asked the server why the soup was so bland and had no peppers in it, he replied : "oh, we don\'t put any in, cause some people don\'t like spicy food. (?!?!?!?!?!?)\n\nThe tacos were edible, but the tortillas were quite hardened and didn\'t taste fresh. Lastly, we had the enchiladas mole, served with plain overcooked white rice with absolutely no spices in it. The mole tasted super sweet and pre-made. We weren\'t able to finish it. | mexican | 12,842 |
Restaurent name is: Comal y Canela
review: This place is great! Food is so tasty. I have loved everything I have tried there. Staff are friendly and the place is really cute inside. It's a true find. Best Mexican I have had in the city by far. Wowwwwwww this place is BOMB. First of all, everything is in Spanish and if you come here, you should speak Spanish. They can speak English, but like... it's part of the experience. Speak Spanish if you can. The food was AH.MAZE.ING. Wow. The tacos were perfect. They gave us a lot of hot sauce and I must warn you - try the hot sauce first. Don't just put it in your mouth or on your food. It's extremely spicy. We had some Spanish ballads playing in the background and horchata to match (the horchata was great for dealing with that spicy hot sauce, too). The place is very small and it doesn't serve alcohol. Maybe try take out? I've scoured the city for amazing Mexican and no matter where I go, I'm always disappointed. Every 4 and 4.5 star place on Yelp has left me shaking my head, wondering how anyone could be satisfied with such mediocre food.\n\nToday, my long drought has ended because I found what is, by far, the best Mexican food in Toronto. I really don't think any words can explain how much better this place is than the restaurants you'll find in Kensington and elsewhere. The chorizo, carnita and campechano tacos made me think of the absolute best food I've had in Mexico. The pozole was perfect. I was blown away. If you think this praise is so effusive as to be hyperbolic, go check it out and tell me I'm crazy. I'll wait... This place is a true gem of a find. I hope it never changes. Mexican at it's most authentic. Such fresh homemade true Mexican dishes, you'll find it hard to believe you're at the corner of Jane & Lawrence. Such pleasant service and you can tell that food is truly a passion for the owners. The Birria\xe2\x80\x8b beef is delicious and so is the Pozole Chicken soup. While the quesadilla and burrito may seem like expected choices, they are unlike anything I've ordered elsewhere. You won't be disappointed. Fabulous! Birria to die for with super tender goat or beef and a smoky sauce. Carnitas with fresh cilantro, onions, homemade sauce and corn tortillas. Splurge on the chips and guacamole to start to try a dish of avocado-rich guac. Super friendly people. | mexican | 12,843 |
Restaurent name is: Fired Pie
review: Me and my husband eat here at least once a week. This by far is my favorite place to eat pizza. I enjoy the fact that I can put everything on my pizza for $8. The crust is thin and crunchy and the meat toppings are top quality. I like the million different opinions there are for the perfect topped pizza. We saw the size of their salads and we were shocked at how big they were. This place is always busy which is great. That means they will be around for a long time. I HIGHLY recommend this place If you want the best cheap pizza ever. $8 for a made to order 11" thin crust pizza? Yeah, I\'ll take that deal. The doughs great, the atmosphere is modern and relaxed, the ladies behind the counter are pretty, they have a million options, and considering they\'re cooking you a damned pizza, they\'re quick too. Get there early though, this place is popular and a line forms fast. Great way to start the new year!! Pizza!! An 11 inch personal pizza with whatever toppings you can imagine, no limit for $7.95! First time there and a great find here in Phoenix!!! Best pizza Ive ever had. You can customize and put anything on your pizza. Anything! For the same flat prize. It's amazingly fast too and pretty friendly service. Pizza made fresh to order in front of your eyes? Yes please!\n\nFired Pie is great, and the personal pizzas are a larger size so they are shareable. Plus, who doesn't like a Chipotle-style ordering process where you choose exactly what you want?\n\nI always get the chicken pesto pizza, but they have just about anything you can think of.\n\nThis place gets busy during lunch, so give yourself ample time if you're headed back to the office! | italian | 12,844 |
Restaurent name is: American Burger
review: This used to be the old BT Burgers location, of which we were regulars for more than a year and enjoyed. The new owners, not so much.\n We had been looking forward to an American Burger opening nearer to us, after seeing how well they did nearer downtown Charlotte and at SouthPark. However, this one is a BIG disappointment.\n We started with our usual Friend Pickles. Now, I know in some areas this is supposed to be "finger food", but really guys, serving them ultra hot right out of the deep fry without plates and utensils? I had to ask to a couple small plates for the table, and then had to get up and fetch my own flatware. It\'s like the guy bringing out our food couldn\'t comprehend we didn\'t want to suffer 2nd degree burns handling freshly fried pickles.\n As for the burgers themselves, it was obvious they were hand formed, but just barely so. They tended to crumble apart in the bun, turning into more of a "lose meat" sandwich than a "burger" which usually has some adhesion if properly crusted on the outside. The flavor was OK, but the consistency was a bit of a turn-off. The buns weren\'t that great either.\n With a Bad Daddies Burger going up across the street in another month or so, I doubt this place will survive long. SADLY, this location of AB has closed. After morphing from BT Burgers AB seemed to be evolving, then there appeared to be a staff change followed quickly by closure? \n\nNice folks, great burgers cooked to order are no more.\n\nThey are missed as there are no similar "craft" burgers in the hood. Really poor customer service. Got our order wrong and then instead of fixing it, wanted us to get back in line to reorder. Once the food arrived the buns were stale and the fries old. Too bad because this used to be our go-to good burger place. Not sure why the low ratings-always had good service here and fresh food. Ohhh-now I see it is price complaints-this is not a fast food hamburger joint! Relatively the same prices you pay at: Pinky's, Burger 21, Big Daddy's, Fudruckers, and specialty food trucks around Noda. \n\nNice outside sitting area, plenty of parking, both car and bike. \n\nGreat turkey burger, veggie burger, tots and onion rings. We arrived at ABC around 8:40 on a Monday. We come here often on Mondays. The place was empty. The staff was cleaning. We immediately felt the coldness. We placed our order. The lady in charge loudly told the cashier to give us take out cups. He said, you do know that we close at 9, right?! There was no customer service tonight. The food redeemed this review from 1 star to 3 stars. We ate at the sound of metal chairs being put on top of the tables. They should learn to use a poker face. | american (traditional) | 12,845 |
Restaurent name is: El Pulgarcito De America
review: This is one of my favorite restaurants in charlotte. By far the best meat you will eat and specially for the price you pay for. Yes it is not in the best location and the place is not well decorated but the taste is great! Recommend going day time, because of the area :P but overall great food and service! This place is certainly unauthentic.. I'm a salvadoran so i can tell you this place is no good..... I Came here recently trying to give them a last chance before deciding to never return..... Well this is what i get ... After having one of their greesy, unacceptable version of a pupusa I got food poisoning ... I spent all night on the bathroom floor crying in pain .... Yeah I'm not returning. By the way PUUSAS ARE NOT FRIED THEY ARE GRILLED!! They just don't make them right here they use too muck oil ! You want real pupusas just hit my grandma up! So....I really LOVE pupusas and Salvadoran tamales and these might be the best I've had. This restaurant is in an area with many options for a variety of ethnic cuisines including other restaurants with Salvadoran menus. Glad we stopped here!! So I\'m pretty dense. I came fully intending to get pupusas because of all the hype on Yelp about them. I had never had one, after all, nor had I had Salvadorean food. I went with a large group of 18 people and they were very accommodating with separate checks. The servers were a little overwhelmed, but very sweet and kept us straight (well our orders anyway).\n\nThe menu was about 4 pages long, and oddly, the Salvadorean section was only 1/3 of a page. In fact, I ordered the only Salvadorean "combo" which was called the Rico Combinacion. Conveniently, however, it was a mere $4.95 when my comrades were ordering $16 meals. The menu also had a small breakfast section, a whole page on Honduran food, and a page on Mexican food. My not-so-adventurous colleagues got Honduran & Mexican items.\n\nSo my Rico combinacion included a chicken tamal, which had sweetish corn filling with some shredded white meat chicken in the middle (3/5), and then a pupusa and a empanada. Enter denseness. I couldn\'t figure out which was the empanada and which was the pupusa. Or more correctly, I cut into the empanada expecting it was the pupusa. This was A) because i had never had a pupusa and didn\'t pay attention to the photos on here beforehand 2) all previously consumed empanadas I had ever had were meat, chicken or spinach filled and fried. So I cut into the empanada and took a bite and was startled by the sweet plantain flavor, with a white filling. I still can\'t figure out what the pure white filling was, but after Googling, it seems it might have been a sweet milk/cornstarch mix. Anyway not exactly what I expected. But it was nice, so I left it for dessert.\n\nThe pupusa was all it was cracked up to be. I had a bean & cheese one, and it wasn\'t at all overwhelmingly cheesy, so it was just as I liked it (5/5). I definitely could have some cravings of these. Simple, but perfect.\n\nAs someone else mentioned, the slaw was spicy, but to my delight, it did not have cilantro in it (my vomit-inducing kryptonite). A perfect complement to the otherwise mild meal. (5/5) I was surprised that there wasn\'t more heat to the tamal especially, but perhaps Salvadorean food is similar to Somalian food in that it\'s just kinda mild. That said, my friend Julie ordered the Shrimp El Diablo and it was 4 alarm hot. \n\nI returned to the plantain empanada for dessert, and along with my Tecate with lime, I was a full girl, all for $8. Now that\'s a deal. I would definitely return to try out some Honduran food next time, but starting w/ a pupusa! Aye papi! Given the recent yelp love this place has received (and being in my fave zip code), I decided it was high time to give it a try. \n\nParking was tough to find, and it was busy but not too busy when we went inside. The waitress was a little distracted and missed my initial order for horchata (a cinnamon rice milk drink). I finally did get it, and, like at Three Amigos, it just wasn't so great. Very grainy, and not the smooth creamy deliciousness that you seem to always get at joints in Chicago. So, a no-go on the horchata. \n\nI then ordered two bean and one cheese pupusas. The cheese one was much better than the bean, but, in general, they were m'eh. It's basically fried bread and beans covered in salsa, which, by it's very nature, is going to be good, but I wasn't over the moon about them. I actually thought the tostones and the chicken tamales that my significant other ordered totally eclipsed the pupusas, and if I were to go back, I'd definitely stick with the tamales because you can't easily make them at home (although we sometimes try) and they are just so freaking delicious when they are made well.\n\nSo, this place was perfectly fine, but I'm in no hurry to go back. | mexican | 12,846 |
Restaurent name is: Parkway Family Restaurant
review: Ordered a delicious Philly Cheesesteak for lunch a couple of months ago. It was very good and hot! We love this place for breakfast and for their fish fry! We Really like the taco salad as well. It is kind of a dive but we don't mind. Definitely give it a try I have yet to receive bad food or bad service here. Everything is always exactly as I order it, and it's beautiful.\n\nSo, yeah, it's diner fare. Some people aren't in to that and they're welcome to their wrong opinion. \n\nThings of note: \n\nYou get an obscene amount of mozzarella sticks as an appetizer. No, really, you get at least 10 and they're the awesome breaded fat one. \n\nThe portions of their food in general is huge. You will not leave hungry. \n\nTheir prices are awesome. Those mozzarella sticks? $8.99 \n\nTheir severs are always super nice and very attentive, even when they're packed. \n\nBreakfast is great and their burgers are amazing. \n\nThey do an all you can eat fish fry on Fridays, and you can either get Perch or Cod. \n\nThe too long didn't read version of this is you should eat here. It's a nice family owned place, and I can't recommend them enough. Came here on a Sunday with my husband. No wait, got seated right away. We both got the sausage scramble. It was pretty good, on par with Denny's or Village Inn. However, the pancakes tasted stale, like they had been sitting in the window all day. And the coffee tasted like it was brewed with lake water or something. Just absolutely awful. Bathrooms are clean. But I would not return. Parkway is the place to go when you are looking for a family friendly, unpretentious, straightahead, and good old fashioned breakfast. Set just off the beltline on fish hatchery road, it is easy on-easy off with ample parking. Well lit with counter and table seating, there is plenty of room to go around. The waitresses are who you would hope to see in a place like this - - friendly, hard-working, knowledgeable about the menu and always ready with a smile and a refill for your coffee cup. Blue collar, white collar, families, businessmen, lonely hearts, all seem to be welcome and are here. \n\nThe food is not gourmet by any means. But sometimes you just need the simple things done well with no-frills. Pancakes, omelettes, burgers, steak and eggs. They have it all. Standby is the ribeye, hashbrowns and eggs easy over. \n\nCome in, sit down and park it in a booth and watch the world go by on the Beltline over a nice cup of coffee and a hearty breakfast. See you there. | american (new) | 12,847 |
Restaurent name is: Diego's Mexican Bistro
review: The only reason why I give this place 3 stars is b/c of the horrible customer service once I walked in. The hostess looked so miserable like she didn\'t want to be there. I walked in and said, "Hi, how are you?" I asked her if they sold chicken tacos and she just shook her head yeah. She takes me all the way around the world for a table (that was dirty for one) and sat the menu down, walked off and didn\'t say enjoy your meal or anything. I started to leave, but the waiter was so nice and apologized for the greeting from hostess. Went back down to the bar area and the same waiter took care of my order and my drink. Apparently she needs to go to customer service school of some sort with the rudeness. At the end of the night, I did end up enjoying myself, especially with the $2 Taco Tuesdays and .99 margaritas. My first thought when I walked in to Diego\'s was that it would be typical Mexican dive bar. This couldn\'t have been further from the truth, though. My sister had a Groupon for it, so we stopped in for lunch. First, the place is a lot bigger than it seems from the street. The restaurant really extends back. The grill area is partially open, so you can see the cooks preparing the food. It definitely gives it a flair of authenticity.\n\nI ordered seafood enchiladas, and my sister ordered a grilled salmon dish, complemented by a variety of grilled fruits and mashed potatoes. The food was, in a word, fantastic. More than that, it was beautiful. I wish I had taken a picture, because the presentation was gorgeous. My seafood enchiladas came with a red pepper cream sauce artfully drizzled on top, forming a zebra pattern with the cheese. My sister\'s dish took the prize, though. Bright strawberries, pineapples, and berries sat alongside a richly pink salmon fillet. I think we both went "oooh" instinctively when our entrees arrived. \n\nEveryone talks up the margaritas, but unfortunately I can\'t speak for that. I was hung over, and I\'m not a believer in the "hair of the dog" approach. But from what I understand, they are cheap and good. I am definitely looking forward to coming back and trying them.\n\nOverall, Diego\'s is a welcome addition to State Street. I\'m excited for my next visit to Madison to stop in again! I must say the first time I went to Diego's I loved it, but not so much this time around. For starters, my boyfriends menu was moldy, which is not a good sign as to the cleanliness of the restaurant. I was super disappointed in the additional $3.00 it cost to get a refill on chips and salsa, and the extra $1.00 it cost to get cheese on my tacos. I know I sound cheap but, aren't these standard? I've never been to a Mexican restaurant where I had to pay extra for these items. There was also peas and carrots in my Spanish rice, which I've never seen. Perhaps it's repurposed fried rice? Not sure, but I could tell that it was not fresh since it was cold and the rice was hard. Also my refried beans were a strange grayish color and super runny. Not tasty. The only positive is that our waitress was a trooper despite the fact she was running around like crazy, and I was in good company. I made my first visit here today for the $2 taco special. On the plus side, service was good and my three tacos looked good and were prepared quickly. On the not so good side, the chicken taco was unseasoned. The veg taco was pretty good. Still a reasonable deal, maybe try something other than chicken for your taco filling. Love Diego's for their Tuesday night specials! \n\nBoyfriend and I decided to come here in search of some yummy nachos on a Friday night. We ordered a few drinks (margarita and he ordered some sort of margarita-crispin mixture) and they were very good. Service could've been a bit quicker, though. \n\nWe also ordered nachos, an order of flautas and some carnitas tacos. We were just going to order the nachos, but the waiter made it seem like that wouldn't be enough food. LIES LIES LIES LIES. The nachos are huge!!! Unfortunately we made the mistake of overindulging on the free chips and salsa they bring to your table. The salsa was good, but the chips tasted kind of stale. Which was weird because they were still warm. Another issue we had was we wanted the nachos first and told our waiter that, but he still brought all 3 plates together. It was all very overwhelming. There was so much food that I didn't even get to try my tacos. The nachos were good, though. And the guacamole was amazing. We ended up taking most of the food home but much to my dismay my boyfriend ate it all at 2 AM that night (haha). I think I'll have to return just so I can properly enjoy a meal here. | mexican | 12,848 |
Restaurent name is: Wvrst
review: Awesome house made sausages and beer selection. Cool German style open dining layout, very cool. The garlic polish was killer. Come to Chicago! Awesome restaurant! It's communal tables make for a fun, interactive environment. The hot dogs are all awesome. They have a wide variety of meats including kangaroo, duck, chicken, beef, lamb, etc. which makes the dining experience really fun. Great beer selection and an interesting selection of sausages. Glad to see they do the currywurst. If you have ever been to Berlin, you'll know what I'm talking about. This is the only place in the area that serves it. So wanted to update my review, this has become more and more of an after work drinks/food place. It used to be places in Liberty Village but I just can not stand the crowd there any longer. \n\nIt is a very communal kind of place but you can call ahead and reserve so we do that more often than not at the staff have always been fantastic. I mean like super awesome guys that work here. \n\nFood - originally i used to be go for their sausages in a bun in my feeble attempts to cut down the carbs i settle for the currywrvst option which I love. That combined with the duck far fries and a dipping sauce is spot on.\nThey have a great selection of meats but I am still kind of basic so always opt for the pork or chilli chiken. I have tried the boar and elk i think it was and they are all as good as the one before.\n\nDrinks - being a big fan of wheat beer I am the idiot ordering waanstappehereorhehreorher, because i struggle even now to say it right but a quick google tells me it is Weihestephaner.\n\nWhen we have not reserved a space this place can get busy and the main block of communal tables get taken up very quickly. Duck fries are a must! \nBeer hall, so you\'ll have to get beer and beverages yourself. Different from the "king west" atmosphere. | canadian (new) | 12,849 |
Restaurent name is: Lenny's Burger Shop
review: Always a great burger and the fry seasoning can't be beat! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu Came in today on Sunday at 2pm. Shop was dark, doors were locked, and there was 2 black aprons on the center of the ground right inside the door almost as if employees quit and walked out. \n\nBummed that we drove 10min to get a burger just to find out they weren't open when they were suppose to be open from 11am-7pm today. \n\nHuge disappointment. This is such a crappy location and needs major changes as it doesn't come close to the quality of the other locations. This place is overrated it's just frozen hockey pucks. Plain as plain can get. Friendly service but very unclean. How do you mess up a burger. Lenny's is amazing! Their burgers are made fresh to order and delicious. For about what you'd pay at a large fast-food restaurant, you can get a BIG burger at Lenny's and usually with a smile. The fries could be better but are still pretty good. A five to ten minute wait should be expected but is more than worth it every time. The food is absolutely delicious. We have liked everything my family has tried on the menu and feel the prices are fair for the large portion size. | american (traditional) | 12,850 |
Restaurent name is: Federico's Mexican Food
review: Filiberto's in disguise!\n\nAlright, slightly more generic than Filibertos. The shrimp tostada was too sweet (yeah...sweet!?) for me, like some sort of cheap ceviche loaded on to a corn tortilla. Silly me wasn't expecting it to be a cold meal, but whatever, that's my mistake. Also, the carne asada fries are made with crinkle fries that are salted before everything else gets thrown on. It's gross, and their asada tastes like day-old steak soaked in brine.\n\nI've gotta learn how to starve before going on these drunk Mexican food binges. Or just give my leftovers to Cornell. Federico's is probably the best fast food Mexican place I've been too. Actually is better than some of the sit down restaurants I've been to. Their burritos are great and taco salad is awesome. They have lunch specials everyday so make sure you check the menus for that. Went here today and placed my order with a side of rice. Got it and checked to make sure everything was there. And this is the size of the side of rice they give me. Are you serious?!?! Stay away from here. Should of left when the lady in front of me asked for a refund and walked out. I should of done the same thing. This place has to be the most terrible service I have ever received. They usually mess up my order one way or another. But just ordered two burritos, and they literally messed up ever aspect of both orders. The best place for fast Mexican food! Hands down the best carne asada fries in the west side! | mexican | 12,851 |
Restaurent name is: Atria's Restaurant & Tavern
review: Waaaay overrated. Unnecessarily expensive. Sea Bass special for $28.99? Draft beer for $7.50? With sub-par service, gimme a break. Folks this is really a rip off under the hood of "fine" dining. Stay away. The place is alright in general, not typically impressed most often, but good for a consistent good dinner. We had a waiter on Easter though that was fantastic and enjoyable, the food is a bit pricier than standard fare, but things are alright....if you are going hit it IP during Oktoberfest in which I would give an additional star. I took my daughter to Atrias for dinner tonight. I ordered a pacific salmon salad and she had a chicken salad. Both meals came in a reasonable amount of time and our server was nice. However the meal had no flavor and the salmon wasn't seasoned and the entire salad was bland bland bland. My daughter also said her had very little flavor or appeal. We were both so hungry we decided to salt and pepper until we could taste something. Our server asked how the salads were and we replied that there was little if any flavor but decided not to send them back because we had a short window of time. After that she never came back only to give the check. And someone grabbed my plate after I was done eating but my daughter was still eating her meal. This is rude. No restaurant should ever take one diners plate while another is still eating. It makes us feel rushed and not welcome to leisurely enjoy the food, even though there was very little to enjoy anyway. This is a bad policy and restaurants should stop this practice. Very doubtful I would ever want to return. Unflavorful and bland dishes, so so service and an overall unpleasant dining experience. Went for Brunch on Sunday, Feb 26. Started out with a Classic Bloody Mary. At $9.00 it was a bit pricy for Gibsonia, but nicely garnished. Ordered the Crab Cakes Benedict for $16.99, described as having lump crab cakes, eggs, sauce and breakfast potatoes. Potatoes were two large, pre-made potato patties, topped with eggs and on top of each egg approximately 2/3 tablespoon of lump crab meat. Crab cake NOT. The other meal was pot roast hash at $14.99 Although not in the description, I got the same, large pre-made potato patties, topped with a lot of cheese, onions and green peppers, plus two sunny side up eggs. Well hidden were a few shreds of beef, the flavor of which was crushed by onions, peppers and cheese. Pot roast NOT. Needless to say, we were hungry as we left due to the absence of protein, and my wallet was lighter by around $60.00\n\nOne star for very poor value. Should have gone to Kings or Eat N Park. Local chain. Menu isn't too big. Ambiance is great. THey aren't pushy if you'd like to sit and chat after a meal. | american (traditional) | 12,852 |
Restaurent name is: Buffalo Wild Wings
review: Great food! I got the boneless wings and I ended up getting the snack size (love that they offer less than 10). The snack size says at least 7 and I ended up getting 8. It was exactly perfect. I went with my mom and she got a burger and loved it. We split her fries (which were small, crisp, and hot). Probably the best food I've had at a restaurant lately. My only complaint is they were extremely slow, but I guess I shouldn't expect more from a bar on a college campus at 8pm on a Friday night.. We didn't see our hostess a ton, but it's understandable. Also, be ready to walk a bit. Parking is absolutely packed in the area. Also, there's a pretty good ambience for a sports bar. There's huge flat screens by the bar as well as smaller ones spread throughput. Each has a different game of varying sports. However, it is slightly loud due to that. Will be back again! I've been here for several UFC fights and basketball games and it has always been good. Attentive staff who made sure we had good seats and the TVs near us had what we requested which isn't hard because there are TVs everywhere. I prefer the second floor seating. Food came out hot and quick and my glass was never empty. The place is clean and the staff is friendly. I use to go to a different Bdubs but it went downhill plus they stopped showing the fights so this was my first shot at a replacement. Happy to say it meets my needs. \n\nGood picks off the menu are the boneless wings (I like Spicy Garlic, Caribbean Jerk, Hot BBQ, Asian Zing and Parmesan Garlic Sauces), Black and Blue Burger, Buffolitos, Steak Wrap, Ultimate Nachos, Onion Rings and Fried Mushrooms. Craft beer selection isn't the best but it isn't terrible either. There is usually something of interest to me. Great service. Great wings. And a great atmosphere. I love stopping in here when in town. Also was lucky enough to have some Kent state cheerleaders at the table next to me. Sorry for the title "creeper pic" but I did what I had to. Also, the bathrooms were clean. Good enough for my inspection. First time I ordered carry-out from this BWW. Bad news. I ordered boneless wings...but what I got was a bizarre assortment of pieces of chicken some the size of a cheese cube (like you'd find on an appetizer tray) and others the size of a slightly flattened C battery...lousy comparison, I know. But nothing was the size of a chicken wing. Regardless of size, each piece was chewy tough...and the smaller pieces were hard, almost crunchy. I ordered a mild sauce and the Caribbean jerk sauce -- because I like spicy -- but these two were lava-like! I've been an in-house customer and never encountered such terrible food at a BWW. Perhaps it was ordering carry-out at 8 pm on a Sunday night that was the culprit. /Regardless, I will not order carry out here again...and will approach a sit-down with some apprehension. Really like the updates this place has made. There are TV's everywhere and the waitress checked back on us at the right times when we were there to watch a few games. \n\nNice selection of wing sauces! | american (traditional) | 12,853 |
Restaurent name is: Sahuaro's Taco Shop
review: Usually good food and service. Today - it sucked! The kid taking orders didn't know the menu and when I ordered a large drink and said the unsweet tea was running clear. He said that it was out and walked away. There was no offer of a refund - I don't drink soda. No offer to see if there was more in the back.\nThe taco salad was soggy and the lettuce was so wet that it was impossible to eat.\nI don't know if I will go back. I cannot put up with bad service even if the salsa is amazing. The best shredded beef enchiladas I've had. I went there to try there Breakfast items. Saw the line of customers & changed my mind. Glad I did.The Nachos are next. Tonight....\nYou can get your car washed,. The Arizona Car Wash Company, Hair Cut & eat some of the tastest Mexican Food in Maricopa County. I will return I have been to this taco shop 5 times now and I'm not even sure they have been open a month. Great tacos, friendly staff. Great new taco shop with a veteran owner. Felix has been in the business for a long time and I am excited that he has opened this place so close to us. I ordered 3 tacos; pastor, carnitas, and carne asada. All 3 were fantastic with fresh corn tortillas and onions and cilantro! While waiting for my tacos I was served warm chips and amazing salsa. If you love delicious Mexican food you must eat here! Stopped by here on a Friday night and everything was great! The chicken tacos were cooked perfectly, the torta was delicious and not soggy, and the quesadilla was good. Highly recommend the salsa verde. Staff was friendly, restaurant was clean, and there was no shortage of Tapatio! :) Only complaint, if any, was that the horchata was a little watery, but it WAS close to closing on a Friday. | mexican | 12,854 |
Restaurent name is: Taco Bell
review: I have been here several times. My husband used to work very near here, and I would meet him for lunch. I have had only one good experience here, and the staff made that one passable.\nIf you don't want anything you ordered, but want to pay for it, this is your one stop shop. \nI normally order a quesadilla, but at this location, my last one had a chemical taste. I took a bite and it tasted like I tested a 9V battery with my tongue. The staff , save a very few individuals, simply couldn't care whether you were there or not. Deplorable. This is really the best TB I've ever been to. The staff is ridiculously polite. Orders are always perfect. Source: I eat at five different TBs weekly. My family eats at this Taco Bell more than I would like to admit. This store NEVER messes up our food. The employees are always very polite and go out of there way to make sure you have everything just the way you want/need it. The food is really good but the staff is very inattentive often messing up orders or forgetting simple things like silverware, napkins, etc. The absolute worst Taco Bell I've ever visited. Without fail, every time I come here my order is wrong, and I sit forever in the drive through line. It's to the point where I will drive 10 minutes further so I don't have to go to this Taco Bell. \n\nOnce you do receive the order (which won't be what *you* actually ordered) the food will be smashed, halfway assembled and upside down. Honestly, you're further ahead to throw your money out the window of your car than to eat at this Taco Bell. I'm never going back. | mexican | 12,855 |
Restaurent name is: Eddie D's
review: I am absolutely in love with this place! The people that work there are super nice and helpful. They give you a free meatball if it's your first time there and it's the best meatball I've ever eaten. We got a platter of them which comes with little pieces of bread. Amazing! After we were done with those, our pizza came out. Pepperoni pizza and we put oregano, parmesan cheese, garlic and roasted red peppers on it. SO good! I will definitely be back there :) Holly crap, this place serves one of the best, scratch that, the best sandwich I have had in vegas. I love the Pauly Walnuts and it has capicola, prosciutto, and genoa salami with sharp provolone (top notch quality). They serve it with lettuce and marinated tomatoes and the best part is the delicious hard roll it's served on. It is a perfect sandwich roll, delicious mild sour flavor, not to hard, and chewy. (I love bread)\n\nI am from San Francisco and I love deli sandwiches but have never found anything that I have liked in town until now (I love a bobbie but thats completely different). I think this place only has italian meats and cheeses so don't come here looking for a bacon and turkey sandwich. Also the sandwiches with the artisan meats and cheeses are just a tad under 9 bucks but it's worth it because you figure those ingredients are expensive, and they don't skimp so I feel its a fair price. All the hot sandwiches like cheese steaks and meatballs are actually a buck or 2 cheaper. \n\nI had the cheese steak and I wasn't crazy about it but I did have a made to order mini canolli for a buck and it was fantastic, they also sell great gelato by the pint. I gave them a 5 because the cold cut sandwich was that great and they were very friendly, and the canolli is awesome for a small one buck dessert. I can't wait to try the meatball sub after reading the other reviews. Best sandwiches in the area. Always greeted with a smile when you walk in. Never a dull moment when you waiting for your food. In fact while waiting for a order with my sis one time Eddie just kept giving us samples of the meatballs which are great by the way. Also samples of the pasta and desserts. Great owners great sandwiches what more can you ask for. Came in on a whim and the pizza was great! Family run place that is clean and friendly. Meatballs and sauce (gravy) was very tasty! Have to disagree with the consensus here. Been here a couple of times due to being a sandwich afficianado. Thought the sandwiches were overly salty with mediocre bread. Seem to just lather it with liquid and the sandwich ends up soggy.\n\nStill on a search for a great sandwich in Las Vegas. | italian | 12,856 |
Restaurent name is: Buon Cibo
review: This is a hidden treasure in Murrysville. I went to this restaurant when it was located in Plum. The food is outstanding. The meatballs are delicious. The chicken Romano was so tender. I love the eggplant..it is my favorite. The owners make you feel like family. I love them.Angelina is the sweetest woman you will ever meet! We'll definitely return to this terrific BYOB Italian restaurant where we were treated like family! Delicious Meatball appetizer offered on the house was just the start of a great dining experience. Crab cakes, lasagne, salmon, and tuna in generous portions were all very good! The whole family made us feel very welcome! Came in from out of town and went to Buon Cibo last night with family, per stellar reviews and one of our family members request. Not sure what the yelp reviewers are comparing this place to, but some of you obviously have never been to an authentic Italian meal. We are Italian, so we know how Italians eat and that portions are plentiful and you never leave the table hungry! Well, I have just three comments for this place - small restaurant (which is fine), small portions (which isn't fine, according to the Italian in me), and a pretty hefty price tag! I ordered the large salad and added chicken (which I think was about $6 more). It was served on a plate with maybe 5 or 6 strips of chicken about 3 inches long. Pretty skimpy for sure! My salad came to $15. The rest of my family ordered pasta entrees. The sauce was ok, but not great and not, in my opinion, authentic Italian. Again, very small portions and at a not-small price! We left and went to my mother's house and I heated up stuffed shells (with fresh spinach and ricotta inside) for the family members that were still hungry. In hindsight, we probably should have stayed at mom's and not gone out at all! As for my family, we won't be back to Buon Cibo! Cannot say enough good about this place. Roberto, Claudio, and the gang truly make you feel at home. I have yet to leave without a hug from the mother (owner). Great appetizers, pasta is some of the best you'll find anywhere (I personally can't pass up the Gnocchi w/ vodka sauce.) Unlimited bread, and BYOB are icing on the cake. Best Italian restaurant in Pittsburgh. Like walking in to your grandmothers kitchen preparing an amazing meal just for you. Very personable staff, amazing food, and a very cool vibe...go here immediately! | italian | 12,857 |
Restaurent name is: Mark Rich's New York Pizza & Pasta
review: Ate there with my kids last night...\n\nService was friendly, the atmosphere was very nice but the pizza was so-so... We ordered the knots with cheese and it took 20 minutes. The pizzas were medium NY thin style cheese and then a veggie pizza. It was good but I've had better in other parts of the city.\n\nI still would recommend this place and I'll go back to try other things.\n\nmr First time eating here and WOW! It was delicious! \nThe food was served quick and HOT!\nThe service was friendly from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Bella was amazing server! \nI ate everything before I could take pictures so I had to order a sundae!\nI will definitely be coming back! The nyc aesthetic is magnetic, the hospitality is excellent. I felt at home, this place dragged me in and I ordered pasta and garlic bread it was delicious. They have awesome deals for families. Wednesday night kids eat free, any item from the kids menu is free with one purchase. Tuesday night they have a buy one get one free. Monday night is all you can eat pasta for $8.99. You can mix and match their ravioli rapture $12.99+tax with garlic bread try their Chicken Stromboli you have to! And for dessert Italian lemon cream cake trust me on this one Grazie x We went on a Sunday. The place was fairly busy when we arrived and completely full by the time we got our food. Ordered the fried zucchini with marinara and a large The Work pizza. The zucchini was good, the chucks of tomato in the sauce were cold. The pizza was undercooked and tasted like it. We saw other pizzas come out to tables looking fully cooked and a darker golden brown than ours. Didn't even bother to take the leftovers home. Very disappointing. This is the best tasting pizza I've ever had!!! I've been looking for a good pizza place since I moved here 5 years ago. Had the works, it had so much flavor, just delicious!!! Paired it with a Stella. I am going back soon to try the pasta. I highly recommend this restaurant. | italian | 12,858 |
Restaurent name is: Xtreme Sushi & Sterling Steakhouse
review: Had to upgrade this to a 5 star rating. Over the past 5 months, we have visited this sushi spot about 6-7 times. My wife and I love sushi. And, this is our favorite place. Yes, I hate to say it, but it has outdone Sushi-mon... \n\nThis Saturday, my mother came into town to visit and we had to take her. She agrees that this is one of the best sushi restaurant that she has ever been to. \n\nBeing Asian, we love rice. For some reason, the rice here is so good. It has so much flavor. Wish I could find out what rice they use to roll their sushi in. So delicious man.... \n\nAs for Sushi, we ordered our usual and we also tried a couple new dishes. I would recommend the following:\n\n1. Catepillar Roll -- eel eel eel!! with Avocado.. hello. Perfection!\n2. Yoshi Dynamite Roll -- they flame this baby in front of you. And, when you taste the sushi, you get the "flaming taste" -- really cool\n3. Mussels -- man, this was so good. If I was not too full, I would have ordered several more orders\n4. Fried Oysters -- oh yum!!!\n5. Polka salad --- great starter salad dish. It had the right mix of greens and sushi\n6. Soft Crab - you can not beat this. This is an excellent excellent dish!!\n7. Russian Missile -- ole man, this is an awesome and original sushi dish. It is wrapped in cucumber (no rice). It looks kinda odd, but it tastes very refreshing and cool. Double thumbs up!\n\nAs for dessert, we order the Mango/Strawberry Mochi. Honestly, I wish they served Green Tea Mochi -- it would have topped off the meeting.\n\nAs for service, once again, they were great. Note: this time, service was much faster. Waittress (Heather) and the sushi chef (Francesco) did a very good job! In addition, their other "bus" staff were very attentive to our needs. What else can you ask for? \n\nWe definitely will be back many many more times!!! My wife and our two friends wanted to try a new sushi spot. So, on a whim, we decided to try Xtreme Sushi. \n\nWe actually showed up early around 7pm and had no problems getting a seat. By the way, HINT HINT HINT, with a sushi restaurant, always try to eat at the bar. If you are seated at the table, good luck getting orders promptly. In other words, you have to wait. Great thing about the bar is that the "sushi-chef" is right there! If you want something (i.e. sushi), hell, order it directly from the chef. Ding ding!!\n\nThe restaurant is pretty nicely laid out. There are multiple rooms with multiple booths. In the back close to the restrooms, the owner set up a video game consoles for the kids. Kinda cool idea! \n\nOne more thing, if you come after 8pm, you will definitely be waiting, this place does get crowded.\n\nNow, for the sushi, the reason why I think this is truly a 4 to 4.5 star is that the sushi is very good. The fish and eel are very fresh. Usually, I get annoy when the sushi chef stuff more rice than normal. At this establishment, they did. However, the rice kinda made this sushi experience. It has a different taste and texture. My wife and I both agreed that the rice was very flavorful and "FLUFFY". Best way to describe it... yum!\n\nAfter eating here, we recommend the following:\n1. Eel roll\n2. Catepillar roll (man, this was my favorite!)\n3. Soft crab\n4. Fish salad (honestly, I can not recall the name, but it was good)\n...there were other good rolls..\n\nAs for our waitress, well, based on reviews, the waitress are wearing kinda of a lingerie top. Hey, I am a guy.. never against boobs at all ... YUM YUM! I am totally gung ho for it -- the bigger the better... Pro Boobs baby! LOL.... Our waitress Whitney was spot on. Very attractive and even better at her job. My wife and I thought she took good care of our order, promptly filled our drinks, and made sure that we were happy. One of the best ways to know that you received great service is that your plates and drinks are cleared without you even noticing. Good job!\n\nOur sushi chef, Woody, is a young Thai sushi-chef. He is good with his job; however, there were NOT enough sushi-chefs working (esp. on a friday night). They only had 4 guys back there and from the sounds of things, they were way behind alot. If the customer notice, there is something wrong. If the owner reads this, I would recommend hiring more resources or filling in the resources during the Fri/Sat evening rush. It would run smoother and you won\'t be backed up as much. Based on what I have read, it seems that a lot of customers would concur.\n\nThe buffet was about $26 bucks a person. For my wife and I, total came to about $72 (with tips). Not bad.\n\nOverall, we enjoyed our experience here. We thought the food was good, the service was excellent, and the price was moderate. We definitely would be back.\n\nCheers,\n\nJoseph I saw a Groupon offer for $40 worth of food for $20 at Groupon and used it to try Xtreme Sushi for the first time. I went with my husband, a friend and together we had 3 toddlers with us. I was a little apprehensive at first, as previous Yelpers had reviewed the service as slow and I was worried about bringing the kids there on a busy Saturday night.\n\nWe went at 5:00 PM in order to feed the kids early and get a head start before the crowds. We were seated right away and instantly fed complimentary bowls of miso soup and our drinks were brought right over. We ordered for the kids first in order to get their food expedited.\n\nThe three adults went with the AYCE option and it was worth it! If you eat 2 or more rolls, order edamame and an appetizer, the deal is totally worth it!\n\nThe edamame came out first and was fresh and delicious. The kids meals came out next and each was delicious (we tried the Japanese chicken nuggets (really good, nothing like what you\'d think of from fast food places), combination fried rice and a chicken bowl with rice. The kids (aged 4, 4 and 2) devoured their food. \n\nOur rolls took longer than I\'d hoped. If it had just been adults, the conversation would have kept us busy but the kids were getting antsy. The rolls were fresh and delicious as were the baked green mussels. We tried several different rolls and all were delicious. The Tiger Roll was exceptionally incredible, as was roll with spicy scallop combined with spicy crab.\n\n At one point a server brought us 2 rolls that we didn\'t order. He said, "these are complimentary". Apparently another couple had ordered them and got sick of waiting (again, the wait time is a downer) and left. We were given their rolls.\n\nI have to give the staff kudos. They were very patient with us and catered to the kids. My two-year old had a meltdown (we were waiting for our first round of rolls and she started to get tired. She ended up having a tantrum on the floor of the restaurant). The server raced over with full coloring books and crayons for all the kids and was very sympathetic when we said we needed to leave. We thought we might get charged as we had only finished half our meal. She just packed it all in to-go boxes and we were on our way.\n\nAs we left, the lobby, lounge and sushi bar were full and we ran into some friends who were told that the wait was now one hour. (This was at 7:00 PM).\n\nSo all in all, I recommend the place, but don\'t bring kids as the food is slow to come out. If you are really hungry, arrive early if you want to be seated right away. I\'ll definitely try it again as a date night or girls night out stop. Ehhhh... Nope. Not a place to go for sushi. The service was good and fast. The fish was fresh-ish, but the cuts were cheap and tasted cheap--- yet the price of rolls is steep. 7.95 for a Cali roll? It better be amazing. And, here, it's not worth 2.95. We had the crazy jalape\xc3\xb1o and the Scarlett fever roll. Both were... Sub par to say the least. Wasn't gross but wasn't good. Xtreme sushi comes with Xtreme slow service. I usually go to sushi Mon because of quick service and great quality fish but since xtreme sushi was only 19.99 for ayce, I decided to come here. The server was nice but other than that this restaurant is terrible we ordered about 10 nigiri around 2:50 but they brought one order every 5 minutes or so and our last order at 3:00pm. I was able to write this review on my phone in the restaurant because it takes them forever to cut raw fish n put some rice under it. | japanese | 12,859 |
Restaurent name is: The Side Door Corner Store
review: Great find. Cozy, good food. Started with the grilled spicy shrimp and chicken wing appetizers and waitress recommended Vodka sauce pizza with shrimp. Very good. Service was prompt and friendly. Not a bad place. For a couple of hours, I was the youngest person there. Not to mention the two 4 or 5 yr old girls with their parents. Then a couple of grandparents came in with their grand kids under their 30s. I believe the grand kids were visiting...for the Phoenix Open. The place was very cozy and very tight. Almost claustrophobic. The servers were very nice. Band was okay. I didn't recognize most of the songs. Maybe before my time. The food was okay. The menu is not as big as Sal's. If I were in my 50s, I would come back. I would recommend this place for people in their 50s and older. A tiny bar with a relaxing atmosphere that is perfect to stop into for a beer. But, that's about the only thing I am coming in for. I've been here 5-10 times and every time I have come for just a beer I have enjoyed myself. The dim lighting, enjoyable music, tasty beer, and good company has always been a good time. \nBut the times that I got food, I've always been disappointed. Twice my hotdog bun had hard cold spots like it was previously frozen and then the hotdog was burning hot. The burger had absolutely no flavor even after the waitress recommended it for being the most flavorful burger in Scottsdale. The service has also always been pretty slow. I am struggling to give this four stars. Really solid 3+ and I'm feeling generous. \n\nHad a Blue Burger. It was good. They certainly didn't skimp on the meat, the blue or the fixins. The hamburger was a bit dry however and I wasn't blown away by the service or the food. I may go back, but I'm in no big hurry.\n\nNot really noteworthy. We are longtime neighborhood customers of this place. I've been hesitant to write a review because I didn't want to share this place with everyone and their mother. \n\nHowever, it seems the word has gotten out. Though I give this place a 5-star, lately it is slipping only because of the fact that the place is filling up and becoming more difficult to get a seat.\n\nWhat do I like? Pretty much everything on the menu is great. My fav right now is the Portabello sandwich. But I like the vegie pizza because they grill the vegie's before they put them on the pizza, so they aren't soggy.\n\nI also love their spicy shrimp appetizer when I don't want to eat a big meal.\n\nBut I save the best for last. The pours of wine here are the best. Purchase your wine by the glass because it is a better deal then to purchase a bottle. It's a good thing I'm in walking distance of this place. \n\nSide Door does sell wine and beer to go though. And the prices are good for the convenience of taking one to-go.\n\nAnd we do love Jenna, who runs the place. When we come on a night when Jenna isn't working, the experience just isn't the same. | italian | 12,860 |
Restaurent name is: Southern Flavor
review: Excellent place to eat excellent customer service excellent food and they allow you to taste a example good O Southern food I waited a while for my fresh fish to be fried it was fried fresh because I waited too long my whole meal was free talk about good customer service if I'm ever in this area I will definitely come back. Thank you and God bless I've eaten there twice now and have fallen in love with it. The service is friendly, the food selection is large and southern! Amazing creamy - cheesy Mac-N-Cheese. They know have to maintain their food staging counter so that nothing sits too long and is always hot and fresh. Breakfast, lunch, snack boxes, desserts and much more. The Eastridge Mall food court is always kept clean and tidy. Access is easy and fast with excellent parking, then in the door, up the escalator and your there. So if you want to dash in for a lunch box and get back out it's perfect for this or linger in the open court dining area. So far I've had the white fish with a thin crispy coating and thick large moist fillet. I'm going to try to post their menu board so you can see their great choice selection! You can get to go dinners also, box of Chicken with sides! Take it home after a busy day! They do have a facebook page. Stop in there today for lunch was greeted and given a sample which was very good. I ended up with chicken tenders which were awesome. And all the other food they had looked great too. For great food and very friendly service I suggest you give them a try. This place does not taste like the normal "mall food" they could defiantly be their own stand alone restaurant. The people who work here are so friendly and they will let you sample whatever you want before you buy. Very good! Love this place. They have lots of fresh vegetables. Even my 4 year old will eat chicken from here and he is the pickest eater i know! The fired chicken, black eye peas and Mac n cheese..go order that, you'll thank me. One of the best things I've ever ate. Just go there! | american (traditional) | 12,861 |
Restaurent name is: Olive Garden Italian Restaurant
review: Their service was horrifying. We had to wait 10 minutes to get our drink. Then when we ordered and got our food the chicken was burnt and there was a rock in my Gorgonzola steak pasta, and the rock chipped my tooth. Then when they brought out the new chicken stuffed Marsala the side dish mash potato also had inedible substance in it. Out of the whole service my coke was never refilled. The service and food are horrible!!! We never have GREAT service here but today we couldn't even get service. We walked into a thick smell of paint and when we were seated we noticed patches all over the walls and the smell of paint was even stronger at our table. We looked at the menu and decided what we were ordering and processed to watch other tables finish their meals and pay their checks while we were still waiting to order our drinks. We ended up getting up and leaving and going to Red Lobster down the street. I can't believe this location would remain open during a remodel and provide this level of service. I sat for at least 10 minutes inhaling paint fumes to leave still hungry. I know you get what you pay for but it's sad when I can't even order my cheap crappy meal. This used to be one of my favorite restaurant. Todays visit was really bad. Burned food, over charged, missing mushroom in portabello fettuccini, unattentive server. She only replaced the burned portion of my order instead of taking in the plate and replacing it with a new one. Have to take out the food caused it took a long time for the food to get served. This is one of my favorite places I love the food the salad the service the appetizers very convenient for me.Every time we have a reunion we come to this place I like the prices they are affordable and the people who works right there are very friendly. Olive garden is great. But I definitely come here because Diane. Screw the fact that Olive Garden has good food. Diane makes good, great. \n\nListen, listen. I got the beef tortalini with salad and my friend got the Northern tour of italy with salad. Diane lays on the cheese until we drown because we like it like that. :) And... 2 peach teas. But she just knows when we need something without us having to tell her! Bread sticks, more salad. Coma!!! To top it off, when she brings us our doggy bags, SHE BRINGS US TOGO SALAD! AND TOGO PEACH TEA!!!! I absolutely cant.. I'd jump up and hug her if I could. But I'm full. So instead we just leave her a large tip and waddle back to our lives. Thank you Diane!! | italian | 12,862 |
Restaurent name is: Piada Italian Street Food
review: As others have said, this is the Italian Chipotle, but I feel the quality is way better. It is similar to Chipotle in the set up and arrangement of the ordering style and modern design. On a nice day, the garage doors are open and it is great to have that open air vibe inside a place that offers good food and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. \nI recommend the pasta bowls because their noodles have always been Al Dente and still come with thier garlic cheesy bread! Smalls are good size for lunch or a lighter dinner, the regulars are just huge! Our favorites have been the chicken diavola and the carbonara. The size of the panchetta discs that they chop up in the carbonara bowls are a perfect portion for any bacon fan. We have also enjoyed cannoli chips to end the meal with something even more amazing. \nI do not have a bad thing to say about the food at all, the service is a little lacking at this location though. The food itself is GREAT from Piada...it's the service that doesn't compliment the taste.\nAs I walk in, I initally am the only person in line, and a group of 7+ employees are up front not saying a thing to me as if they were tired of working for the day. Then 2 female employees begin to fix THEIR OWN bowls before I'm spoken to for the first time. Eventually someone put on gloves and decided to start my order off. After that, while watching employees continue with their own food, someone else is standing around and enough time goes by in his opinion to put some gloves on and finish my order. It was if the employess were waiting for one another to complete my order because they didn't feel like it. My bowl is made, however it's still missing the meat component-crispy chicken frittes. Unfortunately he did not take it upon himself to make sure all of the contents from the small bag used to transfer the chicken in the bowl, was empty...and ends up throwing the remaining contents in the trash. It's already a small portion of chicken to begin with, so to throw anything out is not best. At this point, there is a line of 8+ behind me and there seemed to be no rush to serve them.\nI then had to wait while the employees who fixed their own food rung themselves out (if that is what employees do). Overall it was not a good experience today. \nAgain, I LOVE the food...not the service. Perhaps this was a bad day to go; I will remember that the next time and maybe call ahead. I hate to keep changing my review every couple months, but this Piada is so unbelievably inconsistent. Just left this location, it's mid Friday afternoon. The workers here treated me like such an inconvenience and I wanted to leave in the middle of ordering... Piada workers: when is a convenient time for me to come in where I'm not disrupting your day in order for you to serve me (which I thought was your job... my mistake)? The treatment is the same whether it's Wednesday evening at 7pm or Monday morning at 11:30. The girl making my bowl forced me down the line and complained that I was telling her what to put on my bowl too slowly. I get that you have to work on Friday and it sucks, but so do I! Get it together, Piada, PLEASE. I love PIADA..... It's literally like chipotle but with Italian food! The food is so good especially the pepperoni sticks. WHAT!!!! soooo good! The only thing I will say about this particular Piada location is that you have to be patient; you'll be standing in line for a while. The food here is extraordinarily. Pasta is fantastic, cook perfect every time. Vegetables are fresh and sauce is so good! Staff is very friendly. Chef Mike does a great job running Piada. He is very professional. That is why, I eat here three times a week. | italian | 12,863 |
Restaurent name is: Pizza Hut
review: I am completely and utterly disgusted with this location. I have never felt so unappreciated as a customer and I will never come to this location as long as they keep those type of employees there. I started to place an order and this girl wasn\'t even paying attention. I had to correct her 3 times just to get my order right. She kept rolling her eyes, making loud sighs as if she doesn\'t even want to work there, and her attitude is completely unacceptable. Once my order was FINALLY taken and my food was being prepared, I overheard her talking to another employee stating she would spit in some people\'s food if she knows who is making the order and all the parties she goes to and very inappropriate subjects (sexually) while laughing so loud about it. As she brought up my food I checked her name tag and she snarls "What are you looking at?" I am telling you Nichole is not worth my business there. Especially when she smells she is under the influence of marijuana and bloodshot eyes. NO MORE business from me!!! I\'d rather catch the bus to the Pizza Hut on 43rd and Glendale than walk across the street to this poor of an excuse business. IF YOU DON\'T WANT YOUR PIZZA (OR WHATEVER ORDER) SPIT ON, HANDLED, OR EVEN IN THE PRESENCE OF AN EMPLOYEE WHO IS HIGH ON THE JOB AND WANTS TO RUN THEIR MOUTH, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO NOT GO TO THIS LOCATION!!! Would give 0 stars if I could. Don't go to place!!! First thing when I got there the employees were rude to my girlfriend and I, then after ordering 25 min go by and all we ordered was 2 personal cheese pizzas and still hadn't got our food. There were only 2 other people there also that ordered so it's not like they had very many orders to do. So I go up and ask if I will get my food soon and the lady ignored me and just continued to talk to her friend. I look in the back and I see 3 other workers just standing there doing nothing. Then another 10 min I go back up there and say seriously what is going on and they go back and come to realize they have been sitting out already done for 10 min so at this point they are pretty much cold. I will never go back to that place again and I advise you to do the same. I would honestly give a 0.\nWe order our pizza at 4:10 and at 4:27 they sent me a message saying my pizza was on the way. It took them 45 MINUTES for them to get me my pizza. I couldn't even enjoy it because it was so over cooked and the stuffed crust was not even that, just a thin tiny layer on the inside and some flavoring. I'm honestly SO disappointed in this because Pizza Hut is our Go-to and we weren't able to enjoy this. It was just one pizza as well so it baffles me it tool them over an hour to get it to us.\nI even called them after waiting 30 minutes asking if they were okay or if our pizza did leave, she reassured us it would be there any minute now. Waited 15 minutes more then they finally showed.\nThe driver told us about the survey and getting 10-20 dollars off but they didn't even apologize for the long wait or mention anything.\nI won't be ordering from this location any longer. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. Ordered pizza for delivery last night. Order was wrong (wrong crust and no crust flavor). Pizza wasn't cooked through all the way and was cold. Vegies tasted like they were added after. Poor experience. If I could give 0 stars I would! Today was the first and last time I will be using this location. I first ordered pizza online for pick up then when I went to pick it up I had to wait about 20 minutes after the time they gave me. Then, I gave them a second chance and ordered desert for delivery (I had forgotten to order it and didn't want to leave the house again) I put my order in at 7:45 they said my order would be delivered about 8:20 but didn't arrive until 8:38. I live about a mile away so I don't understand why it could take so long. (Almost an hour) Then, I only tipped the delivery guy $2 because he was rude and it was 18 minutes late and he proceeded to tell me that the tip average was usually 20%. They are rude and they take way to long. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION! | italian | 12,864 |
Restaurent name is: Opa Life Greek Cafe
review: Great food. Had the Pita Gyro with Greek salad. So fresh and so awesome. Glad we stopped in here. Amazing service. Amazing Food.\nIf you are visiting in the area you should check it out. Thank you Opa Life My family came here after visiting Odysea Sea Aquarium and wanted to grab some lunch I'm so happy we stopped here the food was Delicious !!!! I will be coming back even if I don't visit the Aquarium which we are pass holders so I'm sure I see myself coming a lot it was that good :) it helps to that the kids got to eat free not sure how Long that will last but I sure hope it does. I ordered the California wrap and it was moist and flavored to perfection my husband ordered the basic gyro and the meat was tender and delicious the fries were so good !!! My kids enjoyed cheese pizza they had a great selection for kids menu which is. I've to see because we all know how picky toddlers / kids are they had spaghetti , chicken , pizza , and other options as well as a nice selection of beverages for adults and children some great IPA'S on draft and a nice cocktail list the avocado chipotle May was very good as well I look forward to commune back ;) don't forget to check in and get 15% off your tab. The Greek Frys are ssssooooo amazing! They were perfectly crispy and soft in the center! The Sauce on top of them was tangy and the feta was very fresh! I'll be back to try everything on the menu!!!! Service was ok but it was all a front. They advertise kids eat free but their portions are for 2 years old and below! You can't get the kids eat free with the coupons, lady still charged me for one of my kids meal. Do not recommend and will not be back, good was not good either..... not authentic Greek! | mediterranean | 12,865 |
Restaurent name is: Tachi
review: I was in Toronto for vacation and my friend recommended this sushi place. I came with my brother and two friends. I was a little late and was politely greeted by the hostess and immediately shown to our standing table. The two were very nice, knowledgeable about the sushi and chatted with us during our meal. Every piece was delicious and full of flavor. Will definitely come again next time I am in Toronto. Tachi is located inside Assembly Chef's Hall by Richmond/York. This Japanese restaurant is unique in several ways. It is the first ever stand-up Japanese omakase restaurant in Toronto where they serve only 8 guests at a time. In order to eat here, you have to reserve your spot online or wait for the next available time/space if you show up there with no reservation. The omakase tasting menu consists of 12 items and is $45 (not including drinks). The meal lasts for 30 mins from start to finish so it is not a place to be chatting for a long time with others. \n\nI had made reservations to dine at Tachi on a Friday night. The meal started on the dot and flew by. It is recommended that you eat with your hands to fully enjoy the experience. We ate a lot of fresh fish that I could hardly remember but the food was good. A unique omakase experience while standing up. Best to enjoy the meal and not chat with others for a long time as the time will fly by. \n\nOverall, the service was great as we saw our sushi pieces being made on the spot. The experience is unique and interesting to try if you have never done a stand-up omakase meal. One word - RUSHED. \n\nI could not truly enjoy the experience because I felt pressured to continue eating without being able to take the time to enjoy each piece. The various fishes my girlfriend and I tried were delicious, but we felt there was a bit too much rice in each piece. All in all, Tachi is definitely a great way to introduce people to omakase given its low price point. Tachi is also a solid 4.5 stars in my books!\n\nTachi established its popularity among Downtown Torontonians for being one of the only standing 30-minute omakases in the GTA. Located at Assembly Chef's hall, it is a stand-up sushi bar for a total of 8. Reservation ahead of time is almost a must. It is very similar to Sushi on Jones in NYC but for half its price. For $45, you are served 11 pieces of nigiri and a chopped tuna handroll at the end. The selection of fish is handpicked by the chef, hence omakase. \n\nThe experience itself was definitely fun, but what I found more impressive is actually the quality of the fish served. We honestly had no expectations going in thinking how good can the fish be at a stand-up omakase (biased mainly due to our not-so-great experience at Sushi on Jones at NYC). However, it well surpassed our expectation especially at this price point. The few pieces that I found exceptional from this experience were the stripped jack, amberjack, hamachi, toro and chutoro. The chopped tuna handroll, otoro, scallop, eel, salmo roe, bonito and grouper were also very good. \n\nThe rice was made well, which is probably just as important as the cut and quality of the fish. It is not hard to cut a nice piece of fish but it is difficult to get the sushi rice right. A lot of Japanese restaurants tend to focus too much on the fish itself, and neglect the importance of that bed of rice - an indispensable vehicle for a piece of high quality fish. \n\nIf you are a sushi enthusiast looking for good quality nigiri sushi and a fun omakase experience, then Tachi is your next Japanese restaurant on the list! Oh boy this place had high expectations. This being a landmark review for moi I so wanted it be a perfect meal. This came close.\n45$ for a set menu and a 30 min time limit this is Omakase for people on the go as there isn't even any seating. What we do get is a private place with a small group to share wonderful sushi. I would go as far as saying this is conductive to a quick conversation with fellow diners. After you have checked the boxes via reservation or a lucky walk in one is brought into the dinning area. The menu is posted outside so you know what to expect (great in labeling pics as its too fast to label and post pics). The few questions that were asked are whether anyone has any allergies and whether one would like to order a drink. Here is a play by play\nHotate: Excellent start. Gleaning fresh \nHirame:Fluke/Flounder isn't my fav type of fish for sushi/sashimi. I personally am not a fan of white fish for sushi/sashimi so I thought this was OK\nKinmedai: Seabream fared better. Again very fresh\nKanapachi: Decent for a yellowtail\nAkami: Good start for a taste of the tuna trio. Good starting point for maguro\nChutoro: Excellent. Popular cut of tuna done well here\nOtoro: a bit of an acquired taste but I do enjoy my fatty tuna this was very good\nSawara: Not a fan of Mackrel\nKatsuo: Smoked version. OK\nIkura: A bit of acquired taste I found it to be decent\nAnago: I am a big fan of Anago. Done well here so I enjoyed it a lot. Perhaps the top dish for moi\nTemaki: Fellow diner recommended this as explained the special nori they source. Tuna version for the hand roll. Decent\nThis is very good sushi and at this price a steal IMO. Now I wouldn't treat it as an event meal by any means. This is a quick meal designed to make people not linger around and savor much. There are no options to add on the meal (one can always eat back to back :) 4.5 Stars all said and done.\nYup this is the 1000th review folks who thought we would come so far! | japanese | 12,866 |
Restaurent name is: Cibo
review: Me and my wife went to this restaurant for Valentine's Day. I ordered linguini while she ordered cioppino. Both pasta were tough and rubbery, I've had better pasta at Olive Garden. Overall did not exceed expectations and was a total disappointment. Will absolutely not be coming back Recently reopened with new menu and chef. Not impressed at all. I ordered the half portion of the beef pasta and got the full and was charged for the full. But when I received it I thought it was the half because it was very small. The pasta and beef were bland. No one else liked their meal and the table which included two men that are not hard to please. They also had run out of the other pasta we had wanted originally which seemed strange because we had an early reservation and the restaurant was not full - he said they made it fresh every day and it was first come first serve. the restaurant is byob and they tell you to grab wine from the loft down the street which they own. We got one red and one white for $40 and neither of those were good either. In total we spent $170 and were not impressed with anything we ate - which included two pastas, a lamb dinners a clam pasta and a flatbread and oysters for an appetizer. There are MUCH better restaurants in Pittsburgh. Would not recommend. We moved back to Pittsburgh several years ago and in spite of the long list of recommended restaurants which we are slowly trying, CIBO remains one we visit a lot. Also whenever anyone visits we usually take them to CIBO!! The ambiance is really nice, small and unpretentious. Parking is an easy matter. The service is great with staff being very pleasant. The food is delicious. We have had a variety of different pastas on the menu and also the fish selections. Sauces are excellent and the pasta is never overcooked. And we love the BYOB option. A $7 corkage fee is reasonable. We have been to places that charge $15. And this cost is a lot lower than buying a bottle of wine in another restaurant that could run 30+ a bottle. There are soo many very good places to eat in Pittsburgh where eating out has become so much better than it was years ago. We are finding that CIBO has become one of our favorites. We moved to Pittsburgh from Orlando 3 years ago and slowly have been trying a variety of restaurants to find our favorite go to. I think that CIBO has hit the mark. We went to the original one and loved it and waited for the new restaurant to open and it is even better. Last night we shared the beet pear and arugula salad and the crab beignets. Both were delicious. There are 5 beignets and easily shared with two or more people. They were light fluffy and the crab tasted so good. The salad was light and fresh. It was small but also easily shared.\nI hate when you are given huge salads before dinner and this was just right. We then had\nthe flank steak and the pasta with mushrooms and blue cheese. Both were delicious. The service was perfect and BYOB was appreciated. Prices were good and location in Regent Square had fairly good parking. BTW, we had dinner night before at AvenueB and CIBO's\nmeal was the better! This is a tough review to write, as I really want Regent Square to be blowing up with awesomeness. Everything about this place is generally pretty awesome. Nice, comfortable atmosphere, good waitstaff, well lit...except the food was really bad.\n\nIt's almost like they were doing a performance piece showing the dangers of excess. My Cibo pasta was so rich, that my brow is furrowing reflexively in memory of the unbelievable amount of oil that went into it. We also got a dish that was so salty, that I sincerely think there was some kind of crazy accident in the kitchen.\n\nOh, and there's an insane 7 dollar 'uncorking fee' per bottle of wine. Unless you are uncorking my wine bottle with a fucking machete, or in some other elaborate circus manner, that dog just will not hunt, Monsignor.\n\nThe prices are a little high to give this place too many chances as well. I really hope that this place will be able to pull itself together, because in this town you either need to be good, or cheap, but preferably both. | italian | 12,867 |
Restaurent name is: Ruby Tuesday Restaurant
review: Another Ruby Tuesday\'s. Like McDonald\'s, Ruby\'s has a formula and they execute it right down to the letter including my favorite semi-crunchy pumpernickel croutons on the salad bar.\n\nBurgers, burgers, burgers, all are with their overly salted "bottomless fries" which I\'m sure is designed to make you drink more. Since I\'m usually on the H20, this doesn\'t translate into a higher booze bill. They do have other entrees, but I\'ve never strayed from the burgers. I wonder if anyone actually comes here and has the ribs??\n\nSalad bar! Refillable! Excellent stuff! It\'s usually very well cared for and stocked. Even during the busiest hours, it is rare to find something out.\n\nIt\'s casual dining with a very full selection at the bar. Would I come here again? Sure. Consistency is nice sometimes. I can\'t find a thing wrong to say about the place, but it\'s just not a "five stars" restaurant. I love the croutons here, it's strange to be obsessed with such a minor part of a salad, but these have the best consistency! I could tell that they weren't the pre-packaged kind; these are made from bread crumbs in the kitchen. I can honestly just grab a plate of croutons and ranch dressing and go to town. That's quite enough info on the croutons, but damn you will understand when you eat them. The veggie burger here is pretty tasty too, it isn't one of those frozen Morningstar burgers; it is pretty plump and wholesome. I have always had good service from these lively folks and I need to go back and eat more croutons. I am salivating right now. I went to Ruby Tuesday the other day because my 83 year old great aunt took me out to lunch, what was I to say? She had a coupon of all things. We all joke about my father's side of the family being tight with money. Too funny, she had a stack of coupons. I always get the same thing when I go, really that is my secret to chain restaurants, just stick with a burger or chicken sandwich. Who cares if they chicken arrives on a truck with grill marks? \n\nRuby Tuesday has 2 mini burgers with salad bar for $8. That is a no brainer. And they just added pimento cheese option to the burgers, this makes me happy.\n\nTwo things I miss from the good ole days, on the salad bar- they used to have bread and butter pickles and pineapple. Whhyyyyy? in my most dramatic voice. This was the first ever Ruby Tuesday\'s I ever ate at. The service is what impressed me the most although the food was very good. I don\'t like having a waitress or waiter just hanging around and every time I take a bite of food they come and ask "how is everything". Now it\'s very rude to spit out your food just to say, "can\'t you see I\'m trying to eat"? \n\nHere at this place they didn\'t come around every 5 min., but they were always there to fill up my coffee cup and water glass. \n\nSure wish there was a RT here in Modesto. The Colony & Sharon location closed. | american (traditional) | 12,868 |
Restaurent name is: The Stove
review: The Stove is lit. Been here 3 times already and everything I've had has been bomb. Avocado toast, caviar, beet salad, Mexican egg, tandoori chicken. The list goes on, so many things on the menu it's going to take many more visits to try them all. Went there Saturday around noon, seated quickly and it was about 75% full. First thing I noted is how LOUD it was inside. Place is cute with nice views of the valley. We ordered and after about 20 mins our waiter informed us there was "a large party of 7 was in front of us" which is why it would be taking longer. I appreciated the heads up, I guess I didn\'t know 7 was considered big. Our party of 3 ordered two Caesar salads and chilaquiles. After 30+ mins the dishes arrived and the chilaquiles has to be sent back, tortillas were soggy and dish was cold. Caesar was ok although the dressing was so light it was essentially the same as have no dressing at all. My guest with the chilaquiles said it was pretty bad and seemed premade and heated. Won\'t be back to this hipster joint. This was an absolutely delicious choice for brunch. We went here for our two year anniversary and it did not disappoint. The atmosphere was very hipster, chic, and relaxed inside. Lovely views over the city as its upstairs. Our server, Collin, was fantastic, checked in often, and made great recommendations. \nI got a lavender iced latte with almond milk and it has the perfect amount of lavender in it without tasting like I had eaten a sprig of it. I got the bacon pancakes with a side of house potatoes and used the vanilla chamomile syrup and it was all delicious. My girlfriend got the french toast which is flavored with orange zest and a side of bacon, both of which were also great. Totally wanna go back and try those brie pancakes! soooo amazing!!! favorite brunch place ever! our servers are always great & food always comes out looking so good but tastes even better! Found this little gem for a brunch date. The atmosphere makes this place one of a kind! They had so many different areas for activities. It's not just your basic food joint! They have a bar with delicious pastry's, a team party room, the area you have delicious food and even a back room for events! The food is so amazing, with each dish have a fun creative flare to it! \n\nOur server was awesome, I'm not lying, the best service I've had in a while! I couldn't decide between two dishes and asked him to surprise me! So It was between the avocado toast or the Savory French toast. This man brought me the Savory French toast, but added a huge side of guacamole! It may not seem like much, but that showed he really cared and he gave me the best of both worlds! In my opinion he killed it! Love this spot and i will be back! | american (new) | 12,869 |
Restaurent name is: Light Rail Family Restaurant
review: So it's a brisk 38 degrees today and my lunch partner wants to visit Light Rail for lunch. I walk into their restroom and am shocked at how cold it is in there. Great!! I get to sit on a frigid toilet in an uncomfortably cold restroom just because my lunch partner made a poor choice for lunch today? This is a lesson I only need to learn once.\n\nI understand that way back in the day people were accepting of a non-heated or cooled restroom, but those days are long behind us. Please run some duct work into your restrooms already so your PAYING CUSTOMERS will have a reasonable restroom experience in your establishment. It's sad that these words even need to be stated in 2016. One of the best breakfasts I've had. Ordered eggs, country fried Steak, grits, and biscuits. All perfectly prepared. Will definitely be back. Not the fanciest place but the food makes up for it. It is diner food but sometimes that's just what you want! Delicious fried chicken tenders, awesome club sandwiches! Their salads are nice and crisp. Desserts are a little dry and eh but the rest of the food is enough to make me a regular here. Solid breakfast this morning at Light Rail. No frills, nothing outstanding other than they do quick order breakfast really really well. (Maybe they do other things, but today was breakfast.) They were not especially busy and our meals were brought to us quickly. Plenty of good coffee, too.\n\nMy wife chose the Eggs Benedict and it was presented very nicely a good portion with two eggs poached and plenty of Hollandaise. I thought the sliced ham was just okay with a rather tough skin on it. But the flavor was there and the meal was enjoyed.\n\nI chose the corned beef hash and eggs with home fries and toast. A reasonable potion of hash, the eggs were poached nicely and plenty of potatoes. The toast was done right, not too dark, and served dry as requested.\n\nGood and friendly service. If you're looking for a good breakfast, here's your spot. Yes, they have wifi as well. Best breakfast on the south side of Charlotte!!!! The bacon is cooked perfectly, home fries are the bomb and the sweet tea is to die for!!! | american (traditional) | 12,870 |
Restaurent name is: Sarku Japan
review: So happily surprised they have a Sarku here! I love this mall food place! It's fast and delicious. I wish they spoke clearer English tho. I found it rather rude that they just yell out your order to you in a demanding tone and then shuffling you thru the line like cattle to the slaughterhouse, rather than offering up more hospitality. We are giving you our hard earned money here after all... I love their food here. If I'm ever out shopping and need to grab a bite, this is the only place I really go to. Portion sizes are huge! Sharing is really the way to tackle a meal. My friends and I split a chicken teriyaki with double meat and still don't finish it all. \n\nChicken is always cooked fresh, the sauce has great flavor, and the staff are friendly. Their is a slight language barrier but oh well. They know how to make their meals delicious so I'm not complaining. Never anything wrong with an order (and there have been about 100). \n\nGive it a try sometime! You'll love it. Hands down the best teriyaki place around! I drive here from QC just to have some. The staff is always super friendly and the food is always fresh and hot. Even my parents who were visiting from California were blown away at how good this place was. If you want some good teriyaki, check out this place!! Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices! Love to get the extra meat on the chicken teriyaki so we can take leftovers home. Their Bento box is reasonable and delicious also, but their teriyaki is the absolute best! Always fresh and almost no wait as they are cooking it as you order it. Kind of a terrible,mix of people. Asked for chicken, noodles, and double meat. Got rice and double meat. No veggies. When asked they said sorry, took the chicken out of the rice and proceeded to add noodles and veggies leaving a good portion of chicken in the rice box threw threw out without adding some to make up. I've gone here a few times and the service was 3 Stars at best. During their slow hours. Will not go back or tell people. Taking my meal home instead of enjoying at the mall while shopping. | japanese | 12,871 |
Restaurent name is: Super Choy Restaurant
review: What a delight to finally find this take-out place! I noticed other reviews after having passed this place one day. We decided to try it and we LOVED it. Definitely the lemon chicken that the students at the school nearby rave about is a return menu item. We will be back to try more! This place is so bad it's disgusting I had a staple in my food along with hair and they did not give my money back and when I tried to take a picture the guy from the back slapped my phone out of my hands and spat at me don't worry I called the authorities very unprofessional South Scarborough Residents are very fortunate to have Super Choy in their neighbourhood! I love this place! We have been going to Super Choy for about 6 years now, and we go at least twice a month, sometimes more for take-out. \n\nThey have a few different take-out menus. There is a board in the restaurant that lists common dishes at extremely low prices. These are our favourites: lemon chicken, chicken chow mien, beef with noodles, chicken balls with rice. All of these dishes are fresh, delicious and extremely reasonably priced. \n\nWon Ton Soup is made with pork wontons and is excellent. One of the best I have had in the city. You must try it if you go to Super Choy.\n\nEgg rolls are not so great, they are basically stuffed with vegetables and been sprouts, but we order them anyway because they are dirt cheap. 2 of us get Won Ton Soup, 2 Eggrolls, 3 entrees and it comes to about $18. It is made fresh right in front of you, is healthy and has NO MSG! When they get to know you they are very friendly and will give you cool chinese calendars at Chinese New Year! \n\nOrdering deliver from Super Choy is a lot more expensive than going in and ordering off the board. We have done that one once or twice and the cost difference was significant. It's easier and cheaper to just go in and order straight off the boards, you save a tonne of money and they are pretty fast. Sucks BIG time!!!!\n\nOrdered # 1 & #5. \n\nOne might initially think it is cheap ($4.50-$5.75) but if the food sucks, it becomes expensive!\n\nThe place smells like a chimney; the cook is a chain-smoker!\n\nYou are better of buying KFC's $5 fill-ups... it is edible and comes with a drink.\n\nDon't even think about it. I really do enjoy the food, but the service is not great, the staff is not friendly they charge EXTRA for a pack of soya sauce and then you have to hear them complain about "food is not cheap and that everything is going up in price"\nAnd Not only that.....\nThey also charge to use the debit mashine no matter what is the total. \nBut but.... The food it really good.... | chinese | 12,872 |
Restaurent name is: Qi Sushi
review: The lady that takes your order in this place is so incredibly rude, they have lost my business. I have been in here to eat and take out food and each time have been spoken to rudely. Tonight was the final time, it is not the right to treat customers or people in that manner.\n\nFood is average, not the best but was convenient location to me home. What a great sushi place, everything was delicious high quality and at a very reasonable price. Chirashi was delicious and so fresh. The unagi was delicious and sauced well. Across the board there were generous pieces of top notch fresh fish. I used to live in Cabbagetown, and I miss this place! These owners are incredibly friendly. This place is so yummy. Sushi aside, they also have great udon! small, cute, and tasty. \nThe friendly staff make sure you enjoy your sitting, and though it is a rather small restaurant, sitting about only 25 people maximum, the food is exceptional. \nIf you like big sushi, thats worth your money, and not tiny skimpy sushi that costs a fortune, qi sushi is your japanese restuarant. located in the east end of downtown toronto, it serves the growing community of regent park and abroad. the area is cleaning up, and qi sushi exemplifies the progress. \nextremely happy with the service, and staff, and the food is to die for. Top favourite of mine, QI Sushi Roll, their signature roll, a real crowd pleaser, its huge, inexpensive,(especially for the amount of food), and tastes fantastic. Nice small spot with very friendly people running the shop. We ordered the boat - mix of sashimi, sushi and make. They were all very fresh, good size and good portion. We also ordered their spacial Qi sushi roll which was excellent. We even had left over enough for another meal which we packed to go. For around to only $25 per person (not including tip) , it was excellent. | japanese | 12,873 |
Restaurent name is: Christina's On the Danforth
review: Haven\'t been back in the last year as the last time we went the food and service were awful.\n\nA group of us ventured to Greektown for a friends birthday. A friend (not in attendance)had recommended this restaurant so we thought this would be an excellent opportunity to try the place out, while indulging in one of our favorite foods.\n\nWe arrived without reservations (a group of 14) but managed to get in. Truthfully, after our experience, I wish they had told us that they couldn\'t accommodate us, so we would have gone elsewhere.\n\nWhere things went wrong:\n1) Waitress was rude and surly. Was not friendly and was a full blown b-i-a-t-c-h.\n2) Drink order was screwed up (although she refused to write anything down as she had an "awesome" memory)\n3) Bread brought out for our table (group of 14) with only enough for 6 people. We asked for more and was told that she\'d have to charge us for it. Odd, because if we were seated separately, we would have all had bread.\n4) The person\'s whose birthday we were there to celebrate did not get her meal. The waitress with the "awesome" memory, forgot to order it.\n5) Food was cold....we called over our waitress to complain that the potatoes that came with the meal were cold. Her response was "That\'s the way we serve them here". Really? Who serves cold potatoes with a Soulvaki dinner? Meat was overcooked and flavourless, as well as being cold.\n6) Dirty dishes sat in front of us far too long before they were cleared.\n7) Final insult....when the bill arrived there was an automatic 15% gratuity added on (as we were a party larger than 8). While I usually have no issues tipping for service, this particular person did not earn or deserve a 15% tip...so we called over the manager to explain our dilemma. We were told that despite our experience, their server warranted the gratuity and we had to pay it. We paid the bill in full and left...all vowing never to return. And we haven\'t....... We made the trek to Danforth after seeing a BNL concert at Massey Hall. We were looking for late night food in a fun atmosphere to keep the great evening going and Christina's did not disappoint. We were seated promptly and happened on the Saturday live music crowd. It felt like were were transported to a taverna in Greece. Spanakopita is a fall back of mine but... wow! This was almost like a souffl\xc3\xa9; it was light and custardy... delicious. The feta in general was creamy and light and less salty than I've had. My boyfriend had the lamb meatballs in a tomato sauce that had us dunking everything we could find in it... potatoes, rice, bread... you name it, we dunked it! It was just a great late dinner all the way around... Decided to stop in for some fish and rice based on a recommendation. The red snapper was very good. Service was decent, not super friendly but pretty on the ball. The atmosphere is a bit dark, but it's definitely a neighborhood spot as by the time we finished eating it was almost packed and pretty lively. Not sure how this stacks up against some of the other places on the street, but I had a great meal tonight. Solid favorite on the Danforth. Sometimes its a little slow on service and maybe not as tidy as it could be but food doesn't disappoint. This is undoubtedly one of my favourite Greek Restaurants in the Danforth area. We always have a great experience when we go there, food is always meets our expectations. There service is not always the best, can't figure that out.\nI always tend to lean towards fish, calamari, pork or the chicken, greek style. Sometimes, they have sardines, then i am in heaven. My wife tends to go for the lamb, most of the time. Regardless, the food is excellent.\nThe atmosphere, I love. Just the perfect amount of ambience and the busy-ness, enough to enjoy the moment.\nI would like to give a 5, but the service is either a hit or a miss. | mediterranean | 12,874 |
Restaurent name is: Hug Thai
review: This was terrible. I ordered my food with a spice level of 5 and it ended up almost inedibly spicy. The spice profile didn't even make sense -- crushed red pepper (like the kind you put on pizza) all over my salad (???), which was also drowning in peanut sauce. I have never received a salad with peanut sauce over it from a take out Thai place -- who doesn't put it on the side?? Incredibly angry. Never ordering from here again, and you shouldn't either. I ordered dinner as delivery. \nCrab rangoon - 3 stars - contained a bit too much cheese and grease. \nGreen curry chicken - 3 stars - was too watery but tasted good.\nYellow curry chicken - 3 stars - was also too watery but tasted good.\nJasmine rice - 5 stars - was a generous amount for the price.\nFried pot stickers - 2 stars - had dough that was way too thick. \nPad see ew with shrimp - 2 stars - had overcooked shrimp and too many carrots and eggs. Ordered through UberEats. Had Thai Somosa and Pad Thai. The somosas you get 5 with sweet and sour sauce - very good. Pad Thai was a solid choice. My only complaint was I ordered a spice level of 8 on a 1-10 scale and there was no spice at all. So far so good! I got the Tom kha soup and beef salad. Both were extremely fresh and flavorful. Best Thai place I've found in Pittsburgh thus far! Some of the best Thai food I've had in Pittsburgh. Everything thing is perfectly spiced and cooked very good. And the spice level (1-10) is actually pretty accurate unlike some of the other very popular noodle shops. Very friendly staff and small intimate interior. Also BYOB. | thai | 12,875 |
Restaurent name is: Jimmy John's
review: I'm a fan of Jimmy John's in general. This location was no different. Stopped by here before heading to the hospital. The service was freaky fast and very kind when I asked to add one more thing AFTER they had already wrapped up my sandwich. I usually don't have issues with jimmy johns but this particular one has given me issues. I'm a pretty reasonable person but they ticked me off today. After waiting 1 hour for my order I called to check on my order and was told it was on its way. After another hour I called back and was told my order was canceled, and then told that was incorrect. I was placed on hold then I guess a manger was put on the line with no explanation of what was going on. He very dryly told me the driver left with the order and didn't come back with it need less to say I won't be ordering from here anytime soon LOVE Jimmy Johns! Employees seem very enthusiastic! Ordered sandwich trays for work...alot of trays... and there was little to no meat on each & every sandwich and enough shredded lettuce to choke a horse. I guess its GREAT if you're vegetarian.......very disappointing. I ordered a delivery sandwich from this location for the first time. I ordered online and it was very easy to figure out. I didn't have to wait too long for the delivery, and the driver was pretty friendly. My sandwich, however, was soggy and tasted a little off. I would much rather just go pick my food up in the future, I'm not sure what happened. | american (new) | 12,876 |
Restaurent name is: Budweiser Racing Track Bar & Grill
review: Nice little bar to stop in and have a beer or two while waiting on your flight. This is a smoking bar so if smoke is a problem then this is not the place for you. Sometimes when you have a layover (ok yes I could have driven home and driven back, but it seemed easier to just chill at the airport) you just need somewhere to hang out. \n\nPros: \nCheap beers! Get the huge ones.. you might be waiting awhile.\nLuckly we didn't have the service issues that Gavin did.\n\nCons:\nBaseball was on, yet they would only turn on the freaking X games on every TV. Who the hell watches the X games.. yuck. \nFood looked sick. It's all preprepped (who knows how long it's been there) total crap food. The salads are in a shaker thing. \n\nHonestly people, the food at McCarran sucks really hard. I always recommend buying a sandwich and bringing it with you. $10 subway? suck. $12 sandwiches from wolfgang puck that look old and gross? suck. Jose Cuervo bar and grill ? are you kidding me? Anyways, note to everyone, do whatever you can to avoid eating at the airport ! Holey smoke filled, glass enclosed coughing factory. If you can deal with massive plumes of cigaret smoke, then you are fine. If not, steer clear.... Yeah we're in Las Vegas....what?!? You expect us to wait in the airport for two hours for your girl's later flight?!? Fine you better buy us a beer..scratch that several of them. Look Budweiser Racing Track Bar & Grill right upstairs from the Baggage Claim area...that looks decent enough.\n\nWe sat down and ordered liter size beers at a great price, as well as additional shots for $3 a piece. I mean it was 11 am already, you can't be sober at 11 am in Vegas. Anyway, that's about where all the good things ended for this place. The chairs were uncomfortable, finding a seat for four people was a pain. Especially when you wanted to tell the fat dude taking up a table for four by himself to get up and move.\n\n Anyway our drinks took FOREVER to arrive. And when I say forever, I mean like half an hour. In addition to that, my girlfriend ordered a sandwich (they had several on their menu but told us they would only be serving the turkey sandwich). $8...and what did she get almost an hour later. A fucking sandwich wrapped as if bought from a gas station down the street. If we knew it was going to be that bad we would've just walked to one of the eight starbucks locations in the airport. \n\n We will never come back here...EVER. And I highly recommend if you're craving a beer to never stop by this P.O.S. Bar and Grill (if you can even call it a Grill) either.\n\n~G Drinks take FOR-E-VER *The Sandlot voice*, but where else am I going to smoke and drink? | american (traditional) | 12,877 |
Restaurent name is: Las Fuentes Mexican Grill
review: Visited for the first time today and tried the cheese enchiladas. The red sauce covering the enchiladas was one of the most foul tasting things I have ever had. It somehow tasted overlooked and expired at the same time. Won't be going back. We stopped in for the Sunday buffet brunch and it was great! The shredded beef was my favorite along with the amazing omelet station. I was happy to see that we have a great buffet for brunches in the west valley. It was not super busy either. My daughter enjoyed all the fresh fruit and my husband thought the enchiladas were great. The music began as we were leaving so we did not get to take part in that. I really enjoyed everything about the food especially the freshness! Stick to the chips and salsa ! You've been warned, worst enchilada & tamale Ive ever had, the chimichanga was half cooked and ground beef has a terrible taste, sometimes there's a reason restaurants give away food a half price on groupon, it wasn't even worth 1/2 price.\nService was great ! Great spot to eat. The steak nachos are pretty good, and plenty for 2+. I know the owner so he always treats me right. Recommend this place for the food and location. Bring a date for dinner and a movie. While I find the prices to be a tad on the high side for a place that's pretty divey, I will say that having a Mexican buffet is pretty unique to the area and well worth the price at $9.99. I did appreciate that they didn't charge me for my 2 year old to eat from the buffet but I didn't appreciate the lack of free refills. It doesn't say anything on the menu about not having free refills and our server didn't mention it. The service is pleasant and friendly though, the restaurant is C-L-E-A-N, and the food is served hot and fresh. I guess I can suck it up on the lack of free refills or just order water in order to enjoy solid food with very nice service. | mexican | 12,878 |
Restaurent name is: Rito's Mexican Food - Crown
review: We were going to have a take out but decided to eat in\nThere is a nice take out window\nServer was good, food taste the same as the original location.\nWe had beef tacos, guacamole tostada and green chili beef burrito.\nDelicious!!!\nInside seating limited\nSpacious outside open patio seating The BEST tacos! So great to have this in our neighborhood. Service is slow but because it's smaller and they are packed.... they were awesome with the kids! You won't find it out front, need to drive around back. Parking is in back and Rito's is the first door on the south end of building. Tons of parking in back lot. They also have a small takeout window for those dining out. \n\nWe mentioned to Daniel (one of the owners) that we were really excited to have them in this area. I have to say Rito's has brought innovation to their name! While it takes time to grab a hold of the changes, I think Rito's will be able to welcome new customers, both old and young. I love the modern location, although I'm afraid it will be too small once others get the news of how great their food is. My grandmother lived a couple of blocks from the original take-out and our family has been enjoying their delicious food for over 50 years. \n\nFood favorites: Our children love the Bean Burrito Enchilada Style (little bit of hot with great tasting beans). Have to try Green Burrito Enchilada Style and Guacamole Beef Tacos with their famous hot sauce drizzled all over. So exciting having some good comfort food in the neighborhood, been a classic since my momma was teenager! Deelish Went last night!! It was a little hard to find. It's entrance is on the side street where the crown parking lot is. Very cozy inside with a beautiful courtyard outside. We chose to eat outside as it was a beautiful night. Started out with chips and salsa. The salsa was more like hot sauce which im a fan of not my husbands style. Food came within reasonable time as it was a packed restaurant. My burrito was on the harder side but once I cut it open the inside was delicious. The carne asada was very good. They have bottled mexican coke and a lot of different drink options. The owners son came out to check on us and recommended the green chili. We will definitely be back! | mexican | 12,879 |
Restaurent name is: Frankie's 710 Trattoria
review: I went there last night about 7:30 with a friend and the restaurant was almost empty. It was like that sometimes when it was Pie Town too. The pool table right when you walk in the door seems out if place. I would rather see more cool lounge type chairs to socialize with friends. The bar area has a nice feel to it. Our server was above average and very attentive - probably because we were his only table :)\n\nThe new menu has many great choices for food and still some of their unique pizzas from Pie Town. We ordered the calamari and it was cooked to perfection - not overdone and chewy like most places around Charlotte. We split the chicken marsala and the bacon & egg pizza. Both were outstanding. \n\nNote: I am giving 4 stars for the food and atmosphere, but I would like to give it 3 stars because the red wine selection was very very small, there were only a couple choices of red available. They said they were getting ready for restaurant week. So I am hoping if the owners read this, they will add more red wines like a cabernet and chianti. We ended up drinking beer. \n\nI will go back and if the wine list is better, I will keep the review at 4 stars, otherwise, I will drop it to 3 for good. I\'ve been here twice and both times we got their "3 for $30" deal. 3 courses, $30 per person, plus a half carafe of wine. Not bad!\n\nYou will definitely have leftovers: you get an appetizer each, bread for the table, entr\xc3\xa9e, half carafe of wine, plus dessert. Both of us had veal - 1 parm and 1 marsala - both delish!\n\nIt\'s off the beaten path outside of 277 by Gateway, but the parking is easy, the service is great and I\'ve never had to wait. Granted last time there were only 2 tables on a Saturday night! Maybe it\'s more of a lunch place? \n\nGood place though, I would recommend if you are looking for a new Italian option in Charlotte that\'s not fancy schmancy but still nice. I recently had lunch here. Fast, express in and out deal. Hailing from the Boston area good Italian is so hard to find.\n\nI had the chicken parm. It came steaming hot with a thick layer of cheese, topping the red sauce. I was greeted with two huge slabs of tender chicken. \n\nTheir red sauce was unremarkable. The good is it wasn't over sweetened and lacked the Mexican seasoning that plagues Italian cooking in NC. \n\nTheir cannoli needs a lot of work. The shell is too thick and the filling bland and flavorless. They dress the filing up with nuts and chocolate chips, to still find it in want of authenticity. \n\nIn all it's a great place to have a fast 1 hour or less lunch with a hint of Italian cooking. If you want a wine selection Press is in walking distance and run by the same management. Frankies....good place for lunch if you are walking from any of the local office buildings, apartments or condos. I have had the soups and salads that were fairly good. I am still challenged with finding what is missing there since it converted from TOWN, then to PIE TOWN then to Frankies. Ohhhhh one thing that is missing from the prior eateries...is a great selection of appetizers and wines. The wife and I went a couple of times on our way to an event...just for appetizers and drinks. There were 2-3 wines on the wine list. We were not excited...but then I searched for the true meaning of "trattoria"! Well....it is not on the scale of an Italian ristorante! OK....as I started...good for casual lunch with business partners...teammates....but if you go after hours.....make sure you go to wine cellar first....and bring your own favorite wines!!! Service there is OK as well. I ate here on Saturday and it was sort of fun. They let us sit anywhere since it was completely dead. I had a mushroom and pepperoni pizza with garlic knots. It was okay. I can\'t help feeling like the dough needed something and apparently the establishment thought it needed something too because there was this red pepper oil thing that they gave me for the crust. It still needed salt. \n\nThe dinner was good, but I felt super rushed. I know we came in at 9 o\'clock and the establishment closed at 10pm but they were closing down the whole restaurant in front of us. When we asked if it was okay we watched the UFC match, they were like..."well were closing." Even though the employees or people they knew really extremely well were playing pool and apparently having some drinks. \n\nAll in all, the food was good, the service was eh?! She was nice but she didn\'t refill my water and I felt totally RUSHED!! Not cool! :( | italian | 12,880 |
Restaurent name is: Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que
review: Yum!! Yum!! Just had lunch here with my wife and it\nwas really great, Our server Ali was very nice and brought us \nout our food in record time! The variety of BBQ sauce they have is fantastic.\nAt least 5 different flavors at each table, I had the lunch combo sampler\nwith Rib Tips, BBQ Chicken it came with a side of fries, a cornbread muffin\n(so much food I had to get a take home box) My wife had a Pulled Pork sandwich\nand we both left very happy and satisfied It was decent/good food, bbq pork sandwich was a little dry but the sides, mac and cheese and potatoes salad, were very good. The service was a little slow but all in all a little better then normal. I know what I'm getting when I come here, so will be back when in the mood and it's on the way to where I'm headed, would not drive out of the way for the place. If your looking for bomb ribs then you found'em! Been to a lot of rib spots and this is the best for sure! Try the baby back ribs that's my fav! Everything I've tried on the menu has been pretty good so you can't really go wrong by stopping here for dinner! We dined at Dave's this past Tuesday evening with a group of 8. Brennan was our server and we warned him when we sat down that we were giving this Dave's a last chance since our last Dave's experience at that location was subpar and it took us some time to get over it. Anyway, Brennan was gracious and proceeded to take great care of us with a happy attitude and quick response. There was one kitchen glitch but Tom the manager was quick to remedy this slight mistake and went above and beyond to make us happy. Long story short - looks like Tom has a great team and we thank both Brennan and Tom for their efforts to making sure our dinner party was fabulous. Had the rib tips and Georgia style chopped pork, and it was probably the most amazing BBQ meal I have had in a Looooong time. I am a fan - a huge fan of daves even more now. Fall of the bone goodness, and amazing sides. They took care of us - and there was 9 of us, and we all had full drinks, and never had a want. Worth the money spent, and will go back to this location soon. | american (traditional) | 12,881 |
Restaurent name is: Vaticano
review: I'm HUGE on service, having said that, if your product/ food is delightful, but your service distasteful, it will without a doubt translate onto the plate you serve me.\nThese are some of the most doleful looking waiters I've ever met. They genuinely look and act as though you are a telemarketer they want to brush off as quickly as possible. No, like I literally mean they MARATHON away from you as quickly as possible, as if to avoid communication and questions. (What the hell service is that?)\nAside from the servers, this place is great (for the food). The kitchen seems to be trying to make up for the blues permeating in the dining room. Rich quality in the dishes, the freshness and flavours are satisfying by anyone's standards. The Caesar salad was scrumptious! There was not an unturned, underdressed piece of perfectly bite-sized piece of romaine lettuce in my bowl. Creamy as it gets, they are not sparse with that dressing. The pasta is so fresh, and so nice. Perfectly cooked each time. Perfectly seasoned too. MmMmmmMmmmm!\nNote: Their lasagna was not that great...don't order it. Do yourself a favor and order one of their special pasta dishes. A place that never fails but always bring comfort and delicious dishes. I have yet to try anything on the menu that hasn't exceeded my expectations. Some of our favorites are the eggplant parmigiana, Gloria salad, seafood risotto, penne bolognese. Oh and an amazing wine selection as well! Went to this Italian restaurant in Yorkville to get that Italian fix. We made reservations through Opentable and had lunch here before Icefest. The restaurant wasn't too busy but it picked up as we ate our lunch. We decided to get the prix-fixe menu where you get to choose an appetizer and main entree plus coffee and tea for $18.95. It was a pretty good deal. I ordered the Calamari Fritti for the appetizer and the Pizza Margherita for the entree. The calamari was quite food and it came a small side salad. Portion size was a good amount. The pizza was good but there wasn't really anything special about it. The service could have been better as we had to repeat several times to get simply things like bread and coffee. There also a bit of confusion getting are orders right when they came to our table. Overall, it was a decent lunch experience. We had our yearly visit to Toronto and took in a play at the Panasonic theatre. We dined at Vaticano before the theatre and loved the food, the history of the place and the service. Would not change a thing and we will be back. I was there today with my friends. Ordered appetizers pizza and calamary.\nPizza was so tasteless and the calamari was ok. We ordered the main, rissoto with mushrooms, ooooohhh disapointment, rice overcooked and it was very salty so sad, the chicken we ordered was bland, not too much flavor, sea food casserole was nice from all the dishes it has more flavor. The lasagna was allright.\nI think the best part of our meal was the wine. After the meal nobody felt good, super heavy.\nMy italian neighbour cooks so much better and she invites me for free.\nWaiter was nice and explained everything.\nHonestly so disapointed about this place, I was expecting better things from Yorkville, so sad :(. | italian | 12,882 |
Restaurent name is: Scratch House Restaurant
review: Las Vegas Strip quality food at a very reasonable price, right in the heart of sleepy Boulder City. Definitely give this place a try, you won't regret it!\n\nEverything is prepared and created in house -- hence the name. The quality of the food is very high, and the taste and presentation are phenomenal. The staff are all very kind and well trained.\n\nIf you're going for lunch, I recommend the chicken wrap or the lasagna. Or anything really! I haven't had one thing that didn't taste absolutely wonderful. Understanding & satisfying your customer\'s needs are the cornerstone of a successful business. Silviu lonut Briceag is the chef who stormed out of the kitchen to inform our table that the steak he cooked was "perfect" letting us know (in very loud tones) that we don\'t know how to order properly! What chef ever does such a thing to paying customers? However, Jamie the GM is professional and handled the "problem", none\nof us believe a word of her explanation, but she did take care of the horrible experience for us. We were all looking forward to being together and this so called 3 star michelin chef ruined our brunch! He has to go, the owners need to know he\'s been pretty much a problem since day one! Had the Coq au Vin. I was very disappointed. The server told me how wonderful the wine sauce would be. What wine sauce. Not very tasty chicken on mashed potatoes that were ok, surrounded be tough tasteless mushrooms. I will not be back. Went for grab and go breakfast at 9:20 this morning. Manager was just opening the cash register, and there was no pastry yet. Nothing was ready for customers. This is the third time I have gone for grab and go breakfast, and they were not open for business. I do not think this place will be a success. There is NO consistency in food, service, or anything else. The building would be better off as an art studio. The people running it have NO concept of how to run a restaurant.\nSarita Greene\nBoulder City We went to go and support this new eatery in town based on decent family recommendations, for Dinner.\nAs with most of the reviews here on Yelp for this restaurant, the service was better than average, however, with room for improvement.\nWe skipped the wine and drinks as we are all about the food.\nThe food, basically was hit or miss. The filet minion was cooked to a perfect medium rare, as ordered. The NY strip was served rare when ordered medium, after the NY strip returned from the kitchen for "some more heat", it was between rare and medium rare. \nWe took the steak home so We could finish cooking it as it was tasty. The red wine sauce we would like to purchase by the gallon as it was outstanding.\nThis place seems to be many things and appears a little harried at times.\nThe service staff does seem to care, but one doesn\'t really go out to spend the type of $$$ they charge for an apologetic staff that needs to cover for the inconsistencies in the kitchen. The fact that people watching can be done does add a bit of "cafe" atmosphere, but again, the prices are a bit out of line. | american (new) | 12,883 |
Restaurent name is: Rocky's Bar and Grill
review: Great bartenders and the best supreme pizza I've had in a long time! Tons of toppings.....delish...pizzagasm! Fun neighborhood bar. Yummy food and the drinks are delicious as well. Love that it is walking distance from the apartment community I live at I love this joints cheese burgers. Oh, and Bud rocks! Clean bathrooms. Overall a nice place. Love the new menu, you gotta try the wings. I usually come in for lunch and the bartender Melissa is always friendly and attentive. I definitely recommend you go in during the day when she is there. So chicken in salad was really good, no really really good. But came in with large softball group. More than half did not get food for 1 hr 20 wait. We had to ask for our drinks too. The ones who didnt get their food all left for subway. . Bummer. | american (traditional) | 12,884 |
Restaurent name is: John Henry's
review: So what if the outside is not pretty and you don't like the location, the food is excellent.\nThe crab bisque is wonderful. The seafood doran is a must try. \n\nI have eaten here many times over the years and never been disappointed. I come for the quality food and good service. A friend of mine reccomended John Henrys and I was curious about it since I've passed it by so many times. I was curious about the negative reviews written by other young people here since my friend reccomended it so highly so I decided to give it a try.\n\nIt is very convenient location for me (rural and elliot) and I pass it on my way home from work. I am so glad that we came in. I brought my girlfriend the day before valentines day to beat the rush and our experirence was fantastic.\n\nThe food was amazing. I had a buffalo mozzarella and tomatoe salad w/spinach and a balsamic dressing-unreal! My gf had the lobster bisk which i guess is a signature item--i don't think i have ever tasted soup this good. I had the fish special--sea bass and shrimp over pasta in a slightly spicy red sauce and I think it was the best fish i have ever eaten. My gf had the filet--what a great steak--very tender!\n\nThe service here was also top notch. I think our servers name was Ed something or other and he was perfect. He was there whenever we needed him and was superpolite. The door was opened for us on our way in and as we were leaving. We are smokers and they have a great patio with heaters on for our convenience. The manager came by several times to make sure that everything is good and also to make sure we were comfortable on the patio. The place was very clean, bathrooms were spotless. \n\nThere was also live music- i think it starts at 7:30. The guy they had this night was amazing. He did all kinds of songs and played guitar, sax and piano! We danced to a few songs and I also liked the vibe--this is the kind of place that i feel comfortable being with my gf--no idiots hitting on her if i turn around.\n\nAll in all, this is a great place and I'm glad my friend reccommended it. I will be back and often!! After reading the other four reviews before writing one of my own, I am kicking myself for not having my husband read them before he decided to take me here. I\'ve driven by John Henry\'s a million times. I never thought to stop in. But last night my husband decided to surprise me for our anniversary and take me there. My first thought when we walked in was "did he take his high school prom date here?" I had to a fake smile and pretend to be excited that we were celebrating there. It was pretty dead and most of the people in there were 40 plus year olds still stuck in the 80\'s. Our waiter was really good. And the piano lady played well. The food was pretty pricy but yummy. The desert was even better. I think its a good place to take clients who are old and stuck in the 80\'s. I have a couple of them who might like the place. So I might be back and bring clients, but I can\'t see myself going back with friends. I like John Henry's. I will go back and I am not a senior citizen, I didn't think they served Mexican and I am accustomed to paying $25 a plate, so the prices did not cause me to implode. So, for all the reviews that came before me...I rebuke you. \n\nI found the food really well prepared, the wine list is good, not exceptional, the service is exceptional. \n\nMy husband and I went on a Tuesday evening and were seated right away. The decor is a bit 80's, with peachy/mauve walls and numerous tables w/white tablecloths and buffet chairs. But the dining area is large and you can feel secluded but still part of what is happening in the restaurant. \n\nOur server asked if we cared for a drink and went over the specials. They had several specials to chose from and their soup special was lobster bisque. I do not have a enough lobster bisque in my diet -really who does? - and it was great. Lobster and butter and some spice, a perfect combination. \n\nOur waiter was outstanding, we had an appetizer, and 2 courses. He timed them perfectly. My husband and I relaxed, made an slow meal of it and really enjoyed ourselves. The manager ended our evening with a lovely liqueur as a nightcap...free tasty booze, a step up from the free booze I will so happily accept. \n\nThere was a gentleman setting up a keyboard and playing a few tunes as we left. Think Hotel California and anything by the Eagles. The bar is really attractive and spacious, not quite the decor of the dining room. I liked it and thought, I could hit this place up again for some drinks and a few noshes while I listened to some live music..\n\nThe food is great, I think it is a great value for the food prepared, the service you receive and the overall feeling. Yes, I would come for my prom, or my Rotary Dinner out or like myself, just dinner bcz I can't bear to cook - pick your poison, head to JH and be prepared to have a good meal and be serenaded by Eagles tunes. I was eager to write this review, as I am hoping to use Yelp to share more POSITIVE experiences and opinions. \n\nLast night I took my parents to John Henry\'s to celebrate my Mom\'s Birthday. This place came highly recommended from several friends of mine and people in the hospitality biz. \n\nFirst and most importantly, the service was amazing. From being greeted, to seated and then cared for by the team during our meal, everything seemed perfectly timed and managed. It just does not happen like this any more. Little things like my water glass never going below half full- and I drink a ton of water! \n\nWe enjoyed the grilled salad, caprese, sea bass and lobster/crab ravioli and cheesecake. It was divine. \n\nThe ambiance to me is what makes a place. It has warmth, personality and a comfort that you cannot find elsewhere. Totally dug the live music! \n\nMy parents are the partying/lively type and would have been offended if I took them to an "old peoples" restaurant. It\'s not of the such. Sure its missing loud ass people, crying kids, servers bitching about personal life, cell phones ringing, dishing clanging in the back.... but it its place is personal service, great live music every day, comfy surroundings and damn good food. I hope you enjoy! | american (new) | 12,885 |
Restaurent name is: Tropical Smoothie Cafe
review: I come here all the time, and I stick to what I like. The staff are always friendly, except who I believe is the manager... He is often grouchy and very short. If you are the only customer there, your food will be done pretty quickly, but if there's a line be prepared to wait; there is usually only one person behind the counter. I love all their food, but sometimes things are made better than others. Bottom line is smoothies are always amazing, but food can be a hit or miss. I try to support them, though, anyway! They don't have beyond meat at this location, but can make a good hummus wrap. We still prefer having more options like their other locations have. The smoothies are good and can be made without dairy or added sugar/sweetener. Overall yum. We came here after a hike on a warm day. They have more than just smoothies here, but today we just got smoothies. I got a 12 ounce with strawberry, pineapple, orange juice and lime. It hit the spot. The smoothie was cold and refreshing. Next time I'll get the lo-cal smoothie made with Splenda. We sat inside which was annoying due to the noisy smoothie machine running every 30 seconds. We will be back after another hike and maybe try one of their sandwiches. The smoothies are good, but they're always out of something ( protein, cups, lids) etc.. What a find for us! My husband and I like to eat "healthy" and we also like Starbucks. This little sleeper (to us) is right next door to Starbucks\nWe shared a turkey, spinach leaf and tomato sandwich on their "seedelicious" bread. Excellent! Their menu offers many healthful choices -- from multiple grains rice bowls to flat bread sandwiches and various taco choices. \nTheir signature offerings are smoothies, but we did not try one. I did notice, to their credit, they had no syrup offerings. \nWe\'ll be back! | american (traditional) | 12,886 |
Restaurent name is: Olivo Bistro
review: Our server Tyler was great. FOOD WAS AWEFUL!!!!!! I ordered the filet medium rare and it came out red and cold in the middle with black stuff stuck to ir from a dirt grill. I can cook a better steak than what I got at home in half the time! Baked potato was hard as a rock in the middle. Veggies were a generic broccoli, carrot cauliflower mix from a bag same with salad. My daughters alfredo sauce had zero flavor and the pasta was mushy. They actually burned the french fries on my sons entree and I swear the pizza sauce was chef boyardee!!! We use it for pizza night in our house and it was exactly the same!!!!! All of this took almost an hour to get by the way. Absolutely the worst food I've ever had before! I'd rather eat at McDonalds than eat here ever again! If I could give in negative stars I would Ok so this place used to be called Giuseppe\'s. We had tried it a few times hoping that we would come across some entree that was actually edible. No luck. So, when Olivo\'s replaced it we were very excited to have another restaurant in the area. We figured new name meant new owners, new chef, and new food. WRONG!!! \n\nWe walked into the place and I do have to admit that they did change the dining room by adding a big tree in the middle and took out the TVs, which made for a nicer dining experience. We were the only people in the restaurant and it still took a while for the waitress to come by. We looked over the menu. It is a smaller menu than before, but still offers enough choices. Once the waitress finally came over, we ordered a pizza and penne vodka. My hubby tried to order a cup of soup, but was told that if he wanted the soup of the day that we would have to order a bowl. However, any of the other soups he could order in a cup. What?!!? When my hubby said that he would just skip the soup, the waitress very snotty said "Okaaaayyyyyy". She rarely returned to refill our glasses and just was very unfriendly.\n\nI asked the waitress about the new owners. She said that the owners were still the same, but they brought on new partners and changed the name. So, that lead to my next question...."Is the chef and the food the same as Giuseppe\'s then?". The answer was yes, the chef and food was the same...ARGHHH!!!! They had done the one thing that we could never have imagined them doing...Changing the name, but kept the chef and food the same. We really just wanted to get up and leave, because we had been down this road before and we knew how it ended up. We pay a lot of money for bad food. But, we had already ordered and decided to give it a chance. They brought out bread with olive oil and balsemic which was good. Next, the salad came out....completely from a bag type of salad...Just lettuce and a coouple of tomatoes and cucumbers on the side. Very boring. I love penne vodka and usually order it at most Italian restaurants. This was unlike any I\'ve ever had. It was barely edible and had no flavor at all. The pizza was just okay. It had a very thin cracker like crust. But, I think the real problem is the marinara sauce. It truly tastes like they just opened a can of Ragu sauce. It was in my pasta and on the pizza. So, I would definitely skip this place and go down the street a little bit to Buon Gusto. They have the best Italian food in the area. Horrible combative bartender. He was training someone new behind the bar. She was making my drink 90 percent soda water with a splash of vodka while he made my husbands drink. First time in my life I have ever sent a drink back. I told him it was all soda water. He actually yelled at me and told me I was wrong. I was shocked at how he spoke to me. I have been in a couple of times prior to order to go food after work. The owner has always been at or behind the bar. Not this time. My husband has even tried to go in to eat after work. People were sitting at the bar but no one around to open the door. Strange. Horrendous service and I will never come back now due to the bartender. Sad. He along with their not so great food is killing their business. The amount of terrible reviews of this place tell the story. Go elsewhere. Never have had a complete order. This place can't get their stuff together. I'm stupid for giving them more than four chances. I think the GM stays drinking cause she always at the bar with a drink and has a bad attitude. No true service there. I ordered 10 wings and a side of fries. Was charged correctly but they tried to pass off 6 wings and soggy fries in a tied up bag. After 40 mins it took for the order to come out all they offered is to drop 4 more wings for my trouble. I hear they are changing to a Rounders so new managment will bring me back in since obviously the general manager there is so ignorant and incompetent to be able to run their business or want our business due to their own mistakes in being able to get any of their orders correct. Pizza is awesome tho. Make sure you get double pep but the pizza is great. Dont stay and order to go and you should be fine. Also Patrick is an outstanding bartender. Too bad he has to listen to a GM that has no business leading a team or being in the service industry. Very slow service and seem to always get something wrong. Prices are way out of line for the quality of the food. Sad its a very nice looking place and has potential. | italian | 12,887 |
Restaurent name is: Table 10
review: Went here on 06/27/16 for our anniversary dinner with Brian P. \n\nRight off of the bat, I was annoyed that we were seated where it was quite loud because we were next to widows that opened up to the mall & people with noisy kids. I wish that they would have asked us if the table was okay because I would have requested a different spot.\n\nClintele is an odd mix - oldins dressed in tube socks, shorts and New Balances, or people dressed up for a nice night out. I guess that\'s Vegas for you.\n\nService is good, but it felt like it took forever to get someone to take our order. It wasn\'t until I quipped, "I wish someone would ask if we had any questions or something so that we could order" did someone pop out of nowhere to take our order.\n\nWe came here for the 4 course meal for $48 pp. In addition to the multi course meal, we ordered a cheese platter as an appitizer - my favorite part of the meal.\n\nMy first course was 3 bbq shrimp with a biscuit. The shrimp were fine but the biscuit was dry and tasteless - which I didn\'t finish. Brian had salad for his first course.\n\nMy second course was mushroom pasta. I ate all the murshrooms and left the pasta. Unfortunately it was angel hair pasta which I loathe. The dish would have been better with a hearty pasta like penne. Brian had a gumbo, which was pretty tasty.\n\nOur third course was braised shortribs. They were okay, not my favorite. It was fall off the bone tender, but tasted dry at the same time.\n\nMy fourth course was white chocolate malasadas. These were too sweet so I let Brian finish them. He chose the banana cream pie which wasn\'t too sweet and very toothsome. It was unique and very good but I was too full to finish it with Brian.\n\nOverall it was cool to try, but it was too noisy and just okay for certain courses. While I might try happy hour, I doubt I\'d make a repeat visit for dinner. The spinach salad was to die for. I never had white Truffle bean puree in this appetizer of Olive tapenade. It was delicious. I love the decor,too. I went to Las Vegas with some girlfriends but the highlight of my trip was eating at this place two days in a row!! The wait staff Edward and Pedro were outstanding. What a disappointment to have Emeril\'s name on this establishment. For a Friday night in Las Vegas the restaurant was not fully staffed and service was reflective of that. The food was ok at best. Not near the "BAM" Emeril is known for. Similar experience that is found at a chain restaurant. All i have to say is this place was AMAZING. I have never ever experience such amazing service in vegas. Usually at places i have eaten at they start off was great service and by the end of the meal the service isnt as great as when you first walk in. Our server Raphael was excellent. From the minute we walked into the door until we left. Our water was filled before needed, he was attentive very friendly, made us feel like we were special and made sure he explained anything from the menu. I have lived in vegas for 10yrs. My husband and i dine out often yet we're always disappointed about something when we go out. My view on going out to eat is it should be worth the money and you should always feel satisfied when we walk in as well as when you leave. My husband and I will for sure be going back whenever we have date night. Also their food was so good. Everything had great flavor and i have zero complaints about this place. TABLE 10 was excellent as well as the service. I cant wait to go back again ans be treated so good. Five stars!!! Great service and great food. Sad to see that they don't have great reviews. They greeted us and immediately found out that we were with a bachelorette party and sat us at the chefs table. Food was amazing and they brought us a special dessert! Would definitely go back. | american (new) | 12,888 |
Restaurent name is: Le Comme Chez Soi
review: like home, but definitely not mine\n\nI didn't care for the ambience. It reminded me of that friend. Remember that one friend from high school whose home looked the same when you graduated, as it did when you guys were just 5? Outdated, stale, and musty? That's what Le Comme Chez Soi feels like - someone's living room or a lumberjack's mancave. It's adorned with old lamps and home-y furniture. Kudos for their vision, but I am obviously not their target demographic. \n\nI loved their open kitchen though. It's a bright light at the end of a dark tunnel.\n\nIn the interest of full disclosure, you should know this was not my first choice. My sister and I went to Sparrow, but they only have a set menu. It looked innovative and interesting but I wasn't feeling it, so we left.\n\nMy stomach simply had no room for creativity or courses. It just wanted some eggs and protein.\n\nSo we walked a block-and-a-half to Le Comme Chez Soi. Their menu was simple and predictable. That was EXACTLY what we were craving.\n\nWe shared the benedict and the Bison burger with roquefort and bacon. I wouldn't have thought to get a burger - except I remember reading about it on Mr. Lew's blog. It stood out because it`s made with bison. I like bison - like beef but leaner.\n\nMy only complaint is that they treat ketchup like it's a rare commodity. Our dishes came out with the silver tin only half-full. Obviously we had to ask for more. When they brought another tin over, it was even less full. Now if there's one thing our family could bet our house on, it's the fact that my sister loves ketchup. So I can only imagine what her inner angry little girl was saying. She can fool the server, but the smile on her outer peaceful adult woman didn't fool me. \n\nEven with the lack of ketchup, our brunch was yummy. A special thumbs up for the homefries - crispy and not greasy. Everything tasted just as it looked. And sometimes that's all you can handle on a Sunday afternoon. Ive been here on a few occassions because friends were there or i had a gift certificate. sadly enough it didnt live up to the hype. my first visit the male waitor in an empty restaraunt was down right rude! He made me feel uncomfortable for not ordering n entree when there were lunch specials. he critisized me for the beer i ordered. and was rude when i asked for ketchup. my second trip there was much better nice waitress.. good lunch. my last trip was horrible.again the only patron.. the waitress was new and had no clue to wines they carried by the glass.. never a refill of water... soup was watery with no flavor... and the fish was horrific. it smelled like feces. i felt bad complainin since i was only one there. i paid bill left waitress tip and wrote a letter email suggesting they check the fish something was off with it. and they never even responded. needles to say ill never go back. terribly dissapointed I loved being in this restaurant. I loved the open air kitchen, the big bustle of movement, 2 men operating the kitchen for about 50 people in the dining room. The decor is top notch, with dark woods and fun volume in everything. I'd come back here in a heartbeat. At the time, there were no labels on the outside dictating it Comme Chez Soi or any other name. Not sure if that's because it was new or slick. \n\nCheck the walls for specials. At at least 3 locations in the place, there were specials that were not listed on the menu. There may have been more, but I could not find them. \n\nIt's a scene I wish we had more of in New York. Not a single veggie option. At lunch, we were a group of 5 and 3 ordered the lunch menu and I asked for an omelette as it was the only veggie option. They said my omelette might show up 5-10 minutes after my friends food, really weak. The food seems ok, but the service is average and their lack of a single veggie option leaves a bit to be desired. The mile end has some pretty good burgers but this place is the best.\nTheir combination of bison patties and various accompaniment they serve it with is both unique and delicious. \n\nIf you're serious about burgers and live in Montreal you have to check this place out. | canadian (new) | 12,889 |
Restaurent name is: Chipotle Mexican Grill
review: I love chipotle but this is the worst one. I don't know why I come back to this one. I try to stay away but sometimes it's more convenient. The people here give me anxiety. They scream the second you enter. They do everything so fast and they don't even listen or ever look at you. I always ask for a little bit of beans and sour cream. This chipotle is the one that constantly slabs it on. My bowl is basically a sour cream/ pinto bean soup bowl. Disgusting. You'd think management here would want this one to be better than it is lol a must try is the quesarrito.!! Great atmosphere but I know they close at 10pm..walked in around 9pm and I hate when managers etc start cleaning an hour before closing.. manager closed seating section to mop the floors while the place was still busy.?? smh There is another Chipotle 5 minutes away on Pearl that I would gladly take the extra time to go to over this one. I LOVE this Chipotle, and for years have been going there. This past time was the worst service I have EVER had in my life. I understand there is new staff and I give the poor girl props because I was ordering a bowl, a burrito and the 3 tacos. There were two more gentleman behind me in line and the next order was for 2 bowls. First when the other girl asked for help, Brooke, the associate she asked, had to announce to me and the gentleman behind me "Haven\'t you ever heard of online ordering? You should try it!" Then was further rude as I asked her to mix my burrito before she rolled it. She proceeded to throw my food into the bag and huffed as I asked for chips and guac. She was rude and loud and made me and the gentleman behind me uncomfortable. (Maybe time to restaff this location?) But thanks to Brooke you will no longer receive my service!\n\nP.S. That picture is the one on Pearl Great place...but dark green guac. This means it is aged too long. Staff should toss it, or hide it better. Also cook in back was quite vocal and rowdy...something really not expected or necessary. These 2 reasons...a star was lost.. I would have only given this place 2 stars...but when an area is starved for decent places to eat as Strongsville is, I can't be picky. Food options in the area are very poor..but at least that had a very average Chipolte. Would I return? Yes due to the li tied options. If I could avoid the outskirts of Cleveland, that would be even better.\n\nMSZ Best Chipotle I've been to in Cleveland. Food perfect and super fast service with fun staff. Ate here for lunch on a Thursday at noon with no line, not crowded which is a first for me at lunchtime for a Chipotle. Tables were super clean however this location is smaller than most. It's next to 5 guys. Outside the mall to the left of the main mall entrance. | mexican | 12,890 |
Restaurent name is: Amano Kitchen
review: Not much to say other then you probably don't want to eat here, over priced, underwhelming and very rushed. There's so many better places to eat in Market & Co. stay away from Amano. Great pasta, so fresh. I and my friend had delicious food here. Staffs are friendly. I like the open concept kitchen, you can watch chef cook your food in front of you. Went to check out Market & Co on the weekend and had lunch here.\n\nCalamari ($9.75)\nThis was really tasty. Loved the spicy mayo served on top.\n\nBlack Trumpets - squid ink campanelle ($17.95)\nsquid ink pasta cooked in tomato sauce with marinated shrimp. The shrimp was cooked nicely, meat was bouncy and tasted fresh. Can't really taste the squid ink, which is normal I guess since it doesn't have any flavour. Love the texture of the pasta though, slightly chewy. Delicious.\n\nFat Tubes - rigatoni ($18.95)\npork, beef, and pancetta bolognese. Pasta was cooked nicely, great texture. I thought the taste was a little bland though. They recommended adding their special spicy sauce to the pasta which added a nice kick.\n\nCheesy polenta ($7.95)\nFirst time eating polenta in this form. Mixed with corn ragu, cheese curds and wild mushrooms. Was tasty!\n\nFood was kind of slow, I know we came on the weekend but it was a bit of a wait. Prices of the pasta were a little expensive imo.\nWe sat at the bar so got to see the chef's make all our food - loved that experience. Overall 3.5 stars\n\nI visited this place when market and co open in upper Canada mall in the beginning of September which is the grand opening weekend...\n\nThe decor of the place is quite clean and simple and I think they have the other locations in downtown but I have never tried so I decided to give it a try..\n\nI ordered three dishes:\n\nCaesar salad - it's really good and flavourful, it's one of best Caesar salad I have tried! When asking the waiter for the secret :), I was told they use mussel instead of bacon bit, therefore it's different. I really like it but abit small for the price though\n\nMussel- overall, the taste is typical mussel with tomato like broth, it's quite but I guess the mussel is not in season, the mussel meat is abit small comparing to the shell it is in. \n\nBowtie pasta - I like the nutty flavour of this dish and quite light! It is quite good \n\nOverall, the food quality is good and worth 4 stars but I think it's abit pricey given the portion. Also, maybe it was still in grand opening week, the service is also abit slow so therefore I give about 3.5 stars! Nestled within Upper Canada Mall\'s Market & Co. you will find Amano Kitchen, an open-concept Italian restaurant sourcing the freshest local ingredients. A spin off from their popular Union Station location, Amano Kitchen is open to satisfy your lunch, dinner, or take out needs. \n\nWhen you try a new restaurant, you have two choices, cautiously sample the menu or jump in with both feet. I decided to do that later and "Let Us (Amano) Cook for You". For $49pp, the concept of this four course open menu is quite simple. THE CHEFS CHOICE, and you will literally not know what you will get from the menu and was described as literally what the chef is in the mood to dish up - are they bored of serving up beef, lets consider Sea Bass this time. \n\nThe four courses include: a charcuterie board; a pasta dish; main entree, and desert. \n\nTo be safe, the waiter asked if there were any definite no go\'s on the menu or allergies. After all, what would be more of a disappointment then being served something you would not order unless you were starving, and even then -- choosing not to eat. \n\nI am not going to go into every dish, after all, part of the experience is enjoying the food for yourself. However, here is what I am going to add about Amano.\n\nWithout a doubt, this has to have been one of my most satisfying dining experiences in recent memory and worth checking out. The food is fresh, flavourful, and inviting with a fair portion size. Most times I have visited an italian resturant I ask myself why I didn\'t bother just throwing pasta in a pot at home and binging netflix. This is nothing against Italian food - however, rarely an experience to talk about. In the case of Amano, WOW factors came to mind, with the blending of flavours and ingredients. The pasta was fresh, the menu (I wish I had grabbed a photo) had something for everyone. Spoiler: They make amazing, melt in you mount Pork Belly. Amano had a nice wine list, and some signature italian sodas to round off the menu.\n\nI had only two criticisms from my Let Us Cook for You menu. One, the charcuterie board featured a healthy dose of Pork Belly; which was duplicated as a main entree, as well as they made Pork Belly, it was a bit of a disappointment considering the all of the options available on the menu. It is also the least expensive entree item, humm. Secondly, as much as the meal was designed as a sharing experience they skimped on the desert and only brought on strawberry cheese cake, made with fresh Ontario berries, to share. Although, to their credit - in recognizing our disappointment, a second dessert arrived with our latte order (a tasty Panna cotta topped with lemon pudding and blackberries).\n\nThe restaurant, only open a few weeks now is new, fresh and inviting. Seating ranges from bar like seating against the open concept kitchen (equipped with mobile charging plugs), cozy tables and larger high tabels for groups or less inimitate encounters. The only downfall, is that they are limited to Mall Hours so if you want to have a relaxed meal be sure to get there early.\n\nOver all, a great experience and I will be back to try their Sea Bass entree and to explore their take out menu / items. | italian | 12,891 |
Restaurent name is: Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
review: Leaving North Carolina and kids wanted to eat here and I must say it was worth it. The restaurant was clean and the people were friendly. The food was fresh/hot and out in a timely manner. Hamburger was delicious and they even made a spacial salad upon my request. Wish there were more of these in the South (South Carolina) Just based on the frozen custard I have had here, I give them four stars. I haven\'t had any other food here, but hopefully will, some day.\nThe frozen custard is amazing! They have a lot of "blizzard" like varieties, my favorite being the Hawaiian and Turtle. The Turtle wins though.\nService can be really slow at times. One time we went in with our order for 4 custards and we were waiting there for 15 minutes. Not sure what was taking them so long but at one point we saw the girl making our custard dump everything out and someone else took over. It still tasted good though, so there\'s that. I think the food is great - especially their fries sauce. Their sundaes are delicious as well. The only reason I'm giving this four stars is because a couple weeks ago I went to the drive thru and the girl filled up my soda and handed it to the guy to hand to me and he said to her how it was too full because it was actually spilling on the lid and he proceeded to hand it to me anyway and it overflowed out of the lid big time and all over my pants. I had to hand the soda back, ask for napkins and then wait a good minute before they even handed me some all the while with freezing cold soda all over my pants. They apologized but just was very turned off spending $15 to have my soda all over my pants. Accidents happen but he saw it overflowing on the lid as he handed it to me. Easily could have been prevented or comped a sundae. Chickfila forgets to take off your tomato and you get the meal comped - awesome customer service there. A great burger place. This Freddy's was recommended to me by a friend and I'm glad I went. I got a number 1 combo with cheese and extra patty (I highly recommend the extra patty since they are quite small). Also, my friend got one of their desserts, which is served to you after you finish your main meal. Definitely recommend! My son & I have been here twice and really appreciate the fine customer service and tasty custards! Fries are really dine perfectly too! | american (new) | 12,892 |
Restaurent name is: Mariscos Camaron Pela'o
review: Good micheladas good food ( except ceviche de pescado) ... good horchata clean place, small place, a bit pricey .. Service was great ... Over all was good. Worst customer service ever!!! The prices are really high and the food is not all that good at all. If you are looking for a good mexican mariscos restaurant beware...DO NOT GO HERE! Tried the tacos "Gobernadores". These are great. You must try them! This is a nice clean seafood restaurant. Not really expensive and the portions are a good size. Really good and affordable the food was on point. It's a small place but so if you go just make sure you don't go on busy day. Excellent service courteous staff. Best Mexican seafood in the valley. The waitresses are very friendly and the seafood always fresh. The reina del sur is to died for. It has a little bit of everything for you too enjoy. The micheladas are very cold and delicious. Best all around Mexican seafood. | mexican | 12,893 |
Restaurent name is: My Thai
review: Lava Chicken...one of the best dishes I have had and always get! The pad Thai is pretty decent too, but the flavors have varied a lot. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with their Lava Chicken though. Came in based off of the reviews and I am glad I did. Menu has a large variety of items to select from. Prices are more than reasonable. The staff was very attentive even though I was ordering carry out! The nice lady brought me water while I waited. Not sure why they don't have more people in here. I will be back. Not a bad place to stop on campus. There are better places for sushi, but I would go back. I've never ordered something from this restaurant that I didn't like. I particularly like the thai fried rice, and their sushi is great too! I brought my parents here when they came to visit, and they loved it. The plates are presented beautifully, great value for the cost. Everything said about the Crab Rangoon is true. Excellent flavor, and not sweet (as is true of way too many restaurants in CU). Hubby's Panang Curry was very good. My Pad Thai was good, but different than that of typical Thai restaurants. I don't know if I'd order it again; not because of quality, but because it wasn't like what I've had at Thara Thai or Golden Wok. Bathroom clean too -- always a plus! | thai | 12,894 |
Restaurent name is: Citizen Public House
review: The best chopped salad I ever had, it does deserve (and has) it's own Facebook page :) \n\nI came for happy hour and the prices were very affordable, all under $10 bucks.\n\nFor dinner, our server was so knowledgable, we can just hungry for an entree but got sold on a 3 course meal. Everything tasted delicious, I will be back! Service was great, food was awesome! Yelp is right. Definitely try the pork belly pastrami ($12) and the Citizen chopped salad ($12). The pan-seared scallops were also winners ($24).\n\nThe cask cocktails are also amazing. So smooth. The Manhattan ($11) was amazing. The flavors definitely mellowed in the cask and gave it a unique flavor as well.\n\nAnd don't miss the bread pudding! Yum! $10 and worth every penny!\n\nPlus one of the only places in downtown Scottsdale that's open past 10pm. Score! Really good food. Appetizers were really good. Lots of good drink options. Atmosphere was really nice and the service was outstanding. Great area of Scottsdale to walk around also. I write one review- if that- about every year... This restaurant deserved this review.\n\nI can say with out hesitation they left nothing to be desired. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable it was easy to pull up to the bar and spend hours talking and enjoying the different offerings. The service was spot on- both bartenders were there when we needed anything and both were genuinely friendly people. The food was absolutely perfect, good size portions, the flavors were excellent and at a good value.\n\nWe had the popcorn bar snack, the chopped salad, scallops, and the chocolate jar dessert as well as their bread pudding. The only thing I probably won't do again is the popcorn- but I am not typically a popcorn kind of girl. Every aspect of the food and presentation exceeded my expectations. \n\n Am so glad they participated in yelp eats week- it motivated me to make it a point to eat here. I live in central Phoenix and I am not sure I would have trekked over to Scottsdale for dinner over eating somewhere closer to home before. But, I can gaurentee I will be back often, it is well worth the extra drive. You'll come to CPH for the cocktails.....you'll stay for the food!\n\nCitizen's Public House is my go-to destination for craft cocktails in the Valley. These guys mix all the standards exceedingly well, but take it to a new level with their barrel-aged concoctions. I often order a Sazerac (being a home-sick New Orleanian) and these guys make the best one you can find outside of New Orleans. The Happy Hour is a scorching hot deal, half price beer, wines and bar snacks (and they always have a great selection of all 3!). \n\nThe food is pretty amazing too....the pork belly pastrami is phenomenal. The chopped salad is iconic (has it's own facebook page?!) My favorite entrees are the scallops, Amaro meatloaf and Lamb Burger, but I've never had a bad dish here. Ever (and I work 2 blocks away and come here at least 1-2 times a month). | american (new) | 12,895 |
Restaurent name is: The Rimrock
review: We had a lovely dinner at the Rimrock while staying at the Fairmont Palliser. Simon, our waiter was super efficient, friendly and helpful. The prime rib was excellent and he made sure to get the type of cut perfect for both of us. Bravo! I attended the breakfast buffet at 7:30AM with a few office teammates and was blown away by the experience. \n\nThe restaurant itself matches the style of the Fairmont Palliser in opulence and open design, lending itself well to having a conversation, and the staff were very friendly and attentive - especially noteworthy given the hour we were dining!\n\nThe buffet selection was diverse and included such staples as eggs benedict, waffles, and omelettes, in addition to a great selection of pastries and fruit. \n\nOverall the experience was memorable and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again or recommend it to friends. Really nice little bar/restaurant in the Fairmont Palliser. Very fair prices, nice selection and great service. I was pretty impressed with this place all around. It was ok... I went there for lunch with a large group and we had the 3 courses special lunch... I started with the salad and it was good; my main dish was the salmon and I really liked it... The dessert was ok. The best thing for me was the coffee at the end.. It was really good!!.. And the service was not bad... Nice fancy restauant in the classy palliser hotel downtown.\n\nWent Friday May 13th with the gf. Wasn't busy at all at 7pm. Nice, old, comfy room. \n\nOrdered a $45 Spring creek ribeye (one of the cheapest steaks on the menu). Sides were great. Steak was cooked perfectly.\n\nSpecialty drinks were expensive - but got my gf tipsy, lol.\n\nExpensive place. A few tables were celebrating special occasions.\n\nI would probably go to Ruths Chris next time. | american (traditional) | 12,896 |
Restaurent name is: Redendo's Pizzeria Ristorante
review: I've lived in this general neighborhood for several years and had never been to Redendo's. I decided to give them a try for lunch this week.\n\nThis is a casual neighborhood Italian place. I ordered the chicken parm over spaghetti. Wow, huge portion! I took half of it home for dinner the next night.\n\nOverall, a nice experience. Pretty good food, friendly service and reasonable prices. This was my first calzone. It was awesome. I came back to LA and ordered one from one of my local favorites. Not nearly as good. When I'm back in Scottsdale, I'm coming back for sure. Wow. I\'m seriously impressed! \n\nRedendo\'s had been popping up in my Yelp nearby Feed for a few weeks now and I kept meaning to stop by. I\'m so glad I did.\n\nI ordered a small Caesar salad, an order of garlic knots and a calzone to go. About 15 minutes later I walked out the door with a package of food that smelled like an Italian heaven. \n\nThe "small" salad was huge and fresh. The garlic knots were delicious, as was the side of marinara that came with it. \n\nThe real star is the calzone. I don\'t know what I was expecting, but this far exceeded any ideas I could have had. The thing is huge. It\'s basically a pizza folded in half. Mine had ricotta, fresh tomatoes, sausage and roasted garlic. Ridiculous. So good. I\'m still enjoying it and I had the thing like three days ago!\n\nAll that was $16 and it lasted me about three days. Highly, highly, highly recommended! Visiting family is Arizona and stopped by for a quick bite to eat. The decor was great, restaurant was nice and clean and service was decent. It was our servers first day so it's hard to judge. However the food.... AMAZING. Make sure you ask for your pizza well done. We also had the pasta primavera with a tomato cream sauce, best tasting pasta I've had in a while. The sangria wasn't the best I've had but it certainly wasn't terrible. GO, you won't be disappointed! Love the pizza here, with that being said, I have been sitting in the dining area and have been waiting for my pizzas for over 45 minutes past the time they were supposed to be ready. Extremely disappointing. Owner/manager was sitting out in the car and noticed my frustation but stayed aloof as his underperforming staff frustrated me to the point of this review. | italian | 12,897 |
Restaurent name is: Les Folies de Montr\xc3\xa9al
review: Stumbled upon this place late at night when we were looking for some place to eat. The atmosphere of this place is great and filled with energy. Our waiter were very friendly. There was also a live DJ playing music, which was definitely a plus.\n\nOur table got three burgers and one wrap. The food all seemed to be fresh. The food comes with a tasty salad and a big side of fries. I got the citaden burger. Food was good, service was great for how busy it was. The Benny was decent. Great little place to stop in. Endroit convivial et sympa, \xc3\xa0 2 pas du m\xc3\xa9tro Mont Royal, avec de la bonne musique du moment (par exemple en ce moment, Despacito y passe souvent, m\xc3\xaame plusieurs fois dans la m\xc3\xaame heure..!!)\nLes nachos sont tr\xc3\xa8s bonnes, croustillantes, possibilit\xc3\xa9 de prendre un extra poulet (saveur curry un peu)\n4@7 sur Sangria, bi\xc3\xa8re, vin (6$)\nService tr\xc3\xa8s agr\xc3\xa9able\nTerrasse au top pour les beaux jours\nA essayer! J'adore la d\xc3\xa9co de ce restaurant! On dirait un mix entre un \xc2\xab dinner\xc2\xbb r\xc3\xa9tro et un bateau. Le bar est en inox, les fauteuils rappellent les sixties et il y a un hublot dans la salle de bains.\nC\xc3\xb4t\xc3\xa9 menu, nous \xc3\xa9tions six personnes, chacun de nous a pris quelque chose de diff\xc3\xa9rent et pourtant chacun a trouv\xc3\xa9 qu'il avait pris le meilleur burger de la carte! Dans le mien il y avait une petite sauce au ch\xc3\xa8vre \xc3\xa0 se damner! Mon voisin a pris le sandwich mexicain avec une super sauce salsa, \xc3\xa9pic\xc3\xa9e et relev\xc3\xa9e au poil. Les frites \xc3\xa9taient croustillantes \xc3\xa0 souhait et si j'ai oubli\xc3\xa9 ce qu'avaient pris les autres, je vous invite \xc3\xa0 le tester par vous-m\xc3\xaame, car je suis quasiment s\xc3\xbbre que ce sera une bonne surprise. \nAutre petit d\xc3\xa9tail super sympa : la carte des boissons! Elle offre un tr\xc3\xa8s large choix de cocktails depuis les softs drinks jusqu'aux m\xc3\xa9langes \xc3\xa0 bases de Guru ou Red Bull, en passant par des chocolats chauds ou caf\xc3\xa9s aromatis\xc3\xa9s (comprenez \xc2\xab alcoolis\xc3\xa9s \xc2\xbb...) et sans oublier des smoothies aux fruits tout ce qu'il y a de plis sant\xc3\xa9.\nBref, je suis compl\xc3\xa8tement fan de ce restaurant! A faire et refaire ind\xc3\xa9finiment! I\'ve been waiting over 45 minutes and and still haven\'t received my food. Only when we asked for when our food would arrive did the waitress tell us about how "busy" they were. The couple next to us was also complaining about the wait and one of their orders was completely wrong. Do not come here unless you have the patience of an angel. | american (new) | 12,898 |
Restaurent name is: Charleston's
review: The food is consistent and very good. The croissants are a must have...trust me, order them!\n\nWe all had seafood dishes tonight; the catfish, blackened Mahi and Blackened trout and all came out great.\n\nWe enjoy the atmosphere and typically enjoy the customer service. Which brings me to my star rating rather than 5. The server was slow and inconsistent and found it difficult to keep out glasses full of drinks. \n\nAll in all, this is a nice place and we will continue coming back. The prime rib is unbelievable!!! Get it with the raw horseradish and dip it in the sauce. It is a party in the mouth!! Service is surprisingly fast, and very nice. Love a place with friendly people. Very good food \n\nAwesome service \n\nPrice a little steep for the type of food\n\nI will return. We came here again the other night for dinner. I have always enjoyed my meals at this place. Again ,I was not disappointed.\nMy girlfriend got wine and I an Ice Tea, they kept it filled the entire time. I really like their Tea,what ever brand it is ,I would like to buy. It is never too bitter or sweet.\n\nWe both got the chicken and ribs. The ribs are so tender they just fall off the bone. I am not joking about that. They are really good as well. You notice when you are outside as you are walking up the smell is marvelous! Yes, I said it Marvelous!\n\nEverything in here is always good. We even got some food to go so we could have it the next day.\nNice staff and good food, sounds good to me and we will be back many times in the near future.\nLots of parking in the lot. We regularly visit this restaurant because of the friendly service, tasty food and excellent happy hour food options. We love the cheesy and buttery Shrimp Cargo appetizer that is served with toasted bread. The Chicken Club Salad is my favorite main course. It comes with one of their warm, soft and delicious croissants. | american (traditional) | 12,899 |
