The atmosphere is open and friendly. They use frozen pizza dough and yell your name once the pizza is done which is about 5 minutes. Besides that the pizza is tasty. The crust is cracker like but the toppings were full of flavor. Food is ordered Very similar to a chipotle but the food is not naturally raised meats and organic locally grown produce. Good not great... | 12
|
I went here twice for work. The first time I had a thin crust pizza with goat cheese artichoke and balsamic dressing on it. My coworker had a pizza salad. The pizza dough did not have any flavor but the rest of the pizza tasted well. The line was long and the food came out quickly. My coworkers salad was fresh and crisp. | 01

Unfortunately, if I could give 0 stars I would. We went to Treehouse for their grand opening on Friday and not much to report since the service was pretty terrible. Granted it was their opening night, but they just seemed terribly unprepared. It took almost half an hour before we got the beer that we ordered and another half an hour to get our salad. The salad actually wasn't half bad, but that's all we ended up eating since after 1 hour and 20 minutes later, we were still waiting for our food. We ended up following the lead of another table that decided to leave after only getting waters, waiting too long for their food. We couldn't even get a grab of the waitress to pay for our salad and beer and ended up just giving cash to the hostess just so we could get out.\n\nIt's too bad, seemed like a fun concept, but don't plan on going back unless we hear that they fix those issues. | 01
|
The early reviewers should cut the staff some slack. I'd expect some glitches on opening day. \n\nI tried the half roasted chicken with corn succotash and apple slaw. Everything was delicious. I can see the patio becoming a very popular destination. My only complaint would be the weak mixed drinks at strong prices. | 12
|
We had a bday party there last night 18 of us.the platter of food we got was really good, the buffalo chicken egg rolls were not spicy or seasoned at all. The pork belly app is awesome. The only complaint we had was the wine pours were very small, other than that we will be a regular there. | 12
|
Just what charlotte southpark needed, another chauvinist restaurant with young girls not pretty enough to strip in short shorts and mediocre food lol. The waitress hung over the top of the table while I ate with my husband and tried to flirt for her tips. Definitely not going back anytime soon. | 01

Swing and a miss\n\nI noticed the little signs saying 'Now Open' for about a week and was excited to try it out. Really was looking forward to a nice, unpretentious bar with good food near my house. \n\nFirst the restaurant is just weird looking. Definitely tree themed with a fake tree in the center of the dining room and a log motif on one wall but there is another space with an odd collage of manly movie stars; Brando, James Dean, Eastwood, Connery and then there is a strange bamboo ceiling piece over the bar. Just doesn't tie together well... \n\nThen the waitstaff, cute and little and all wearing denim overalls. Really? \n\nIt was pretty empty and I grabbed a seat at the bar. I was the ONLY person at the bar. Four televisions on and all tuned to the same Sunday Night Football game. I believe all the tv's were muted as music was playing. The place was also very cold - the door to the patio and the windows behind the bar were all open and was mid-50s. My bar stool was very wobbly so I switched to the next seat - looked like someone had pushed the back of the seat way back. Didn't help me at all - I tried to bend it back and that helped a bit. Regardless, the two seats I sat on should have been removed and fixed. \n\nAnyway I asked if they had any beer specials. Nope. So I order a beer, nice selection.\n\nThen I order the smoked chicken wing appetizer with blue cheese dressing and the large BBQ sample plate figuring I would take the leftovers home. Came with a side of coleslaw and one more side, I decided to try their sweet potato waffle fries.\n\nI tried to connect to their guest wifi. Website said ask your server for the password. Bartender doesn't know. Hostess and another waitress do not know. She comes back and asks me to try a password. No luck. Three minutes later some guy who had been outside smoking tells me to try another one. Not it. He tells me to capitalize the first character. Still nothing. He leaves. \n\nAfter about 10 minutes everything came out at once. Oy. Food looked all right, nothing too exciting. The pulled pork and the baby back ribs were less than room temperature. The smoked sausage was hot and the brisket was warm. Not a good sign. As far as I can tell the pulled pork was garbage - being cold didn't help but it was bland, needed salt and was very mushy. Tender is good, mushy is disgusting. The ribs were fine - tomato based sauce helped a bit but they were fine. Nothing to write home about but edible - probably been better had they been served warm. Brisket was good - on par with Mac's Speed Shop. Smoked sausage was also pretty tasty and the only hot food item I was served.\n\nAs for the sides - meh. The waffle cut sweet potato fries are hard to screw up and the coleslaw was unremarkable. The dinner was also served with a jalapeno cheddar biscuit, it too was cold and way to dry. Smelled much better than it tasted. Bartender waited until I was empty before offering another beer. I need the other beer to wash down the biscuit bite that was trying to kill me...\n\nAppetizer, dinner and two beers and tip came to $55 - if the place is still open three months from now I will assume they made substantial changes and will try them again but I am thinking this place will be shuttered before then. | 01

Recommended by a friend for their \""good barbeque\"" and cool atmosphere. Tried it for lunch. Could be a generation gap but the waitress had purple hair and nose piercings. Immediately realized I was in the wrong place. Had the Korean taco as an appetizer. Tasty enough but mostly tortilla and not much filling. At $5.00 for a tortilla with less than an ounce of meat, some cilantro and a secret sauce it simply wasn't worth the price. BBQ sandwich was ok. Bun was nice and soft but the meat filled half the bun. Sweet potato fries came out cold and less than crisp. \n\nDidn't try the bar offerings since it was at lunch but heard the table next to us that did say the drinks were watered down and overpriced. The place just isn't special enough to earn a return visit. Too bad, a clever enough idea but at those prices they have to earn the business and quite simply, they didn't. Don't think this one will be around very long. The only way the make it is from the expense account crowd and there didn't appear to be enough of those business types in there to sustain it over time. Too many great options within a mile of the place. | 01

Stopped by early Tuesday evening. Restaurant not very busy. Chloe was our server, very friendly and bubbly. I like the variety on the menu. A good variety where most people can find something to eat. I ordered the briscuit sandwich. For $15 i expected a huge sandwich heaping with everything they described on the menu. What I received was a small bun with maybe 4 oz of meat and two little ramekins of toppings.\nMy wife ordered 2 tacos. The tacos tasted good but had very little filling in each one. Again at $5/taco with no sides these are pricey. We were both hungry after eating our food and ordered pecan pie. The pie was good whole pieces of pecans on top but no pecans in the filling. \nA 1/2 hour later after I left I was still hungry. Not sure where the whiskey comes into play with the name. They had an extensive beer list but I didn't see a similar whiskey list. \n\nTreehouse might work as a place to go to after work for a drink but as a dinner destination there are better alternatives. | 01

Horrible food, horrible service, horrible management. Don't waste your time or money. | 01

Treehouse is brand new to the South Park area and every time I have dined there, the experience was amazing. The interior decor is beyond amazing, relaxing and luxurious yet it has a comfortable ambiance for families, business associates, and friends. The patio is the best in this area equipped with heaters to keep you comfortable during the cooler evenings. They have a wonderful variety of options for every type of diet and each plate is delicious. This place definitely should be deemed the best BBQ and Brisket restaurant in the entire Charlotte area. I've had the opportunity to try many entrees and appetizers, and so far my favorites are the Beer Can Cheese Dip (appetizer), Korean, Argentine, and Fish & Chip tacos, Lobster Cobb Salad and Fire Grilled Salmon Salad, Crab Legs and Dirty Shrimp, Out & In Burger and Classic Burger, Carolina Pull Pork BBQ and Beer Can Chicken Sandwich, and lastly any of there BBQ combination plates! \nThis place has every sauce you could think of to top off any and all menu selections and they are all made in house! Not to mention their incredibly friendly wait staff and over accommodating management team. \nDon't forget to try out there bar and large selections of draft beers and whisky! | 12

Was hoping for a low key bar in Southpark....unfortunately I probably won't return. The bar tender was so rude and thought she was the coolest thing ever. Terrible martini, she was drinking her own drink on the bar out of a straw and was on her phone ..the worst part, the girls behind the bar kept flinging their hair everywhere and running their fingers through it and then making drinks without washing their hands. Bartender said she works uptown at Suite on the weekends - her behavior and long hair may work there but not for us. We weren't given an itemized receipt so have no idea how much each of our drinks were however we were asked to start a tab with credit card ( I guess two folks in professional clothing are a flight risk at a Southpark bar at 5pm??)\nThey allowed someone to smoke a cigar on the patio that drifted smoke into the place.\nThe manager seemed to like flirting with the bartenders more than caring about getting patrons service. \nMusic was really loud for 5 pm on a Thursday. \nDidn't even try the food because we were so turned off by the bartenders we left.\nPretty sure the 5 star review prior to mine was done by a server who works there.... | 01
|
Was really excited to try this place out. The decor was adorable and the service was pretty good, but found their food to be just okay. I tried two different tacos, one was okay, but the jerk chicken was awful. I even asked the waitress if it was in fact jerk chicken and she said it was and I told her I didn't like it at all. I didn't even it and mind you one taco with nothing else is $5. She didn't take it off the bill, which shows me they aren't interested in customer service. | 01
|
Just bad all around. The waitress we had was as sweet as could be but that doesn't make up for the less-than-stellar food. All four of us got sick after eating there. I don't think I'll be going back for a second try. | 01
|
I have to say I was a little skeptical of this place, the reviews are bad and I called for call ahead seating and the hostess wasn't the friendliest or the brightest. However, with much hesitation, I gave it a try. I was excited to try a new place. First the hostess didn't even acknowledge I was there, I had to say excuse me (I know she saw me there). It is a tiny place, or maybe cozy is a better word. Our server was attentive right away and through out the meal. The food however...mediocre. The alcohol selection definitely trumps the food selection. I had the beer can chicken sandwich with mac-n-cheese as my side. The side was so small, think I finished it in 2 bites, and it was just warm, needed to be hotter, the chicken was OK...it wasn't dry, but not overly flavorful either. It needs something on the sandwich like BBQ sauce or mayo, something was missing. My friend had the French onion soup and a wedge salad. The salad was huge, and she said the French onion soup was bland, a lot of salt needed to be added...it's hard to mess up soup. I think some of the food is over priced too for the portions and the taste. This isn't a great place but not a terrible place either. My favorite part was they have NoDa's Jam Session, it's on of my favorite local beers. I think this place has potential, but unfortunately it will take longer to get there than it should....you have to remember it is in the South Park area, people expect more. | 01

Well, I went back 2-3 times since the Grand Opening. All on Wednesdays because Simplified was playing! That's the ONLY reason I'd go there. I spoke with a manager the 2nd time I went there and he told me he personally would put Corona on the beer order! Still don't have it. I'd have to agree that the female bartenders are not very friendly, ever! No smiles, no \""how are you\"", etc... Nothing! And that is each time I've been back! Two weeks ago I ordered a burger. It was ok. Fries are not very good. Last week I ordered a triple grilled cheese. It literally was THE smallest sandwich I've ever had. Two small bites and the 1/2 was gone! Way too little food for their prices! Add that with a bar staff that isn't friendly and you have a recipe for failure! If it wasn't for Simplified playing, I would not go back! | 01
|
We won't be back anytime soon. First, the hostess \""warned\"" us that a band would be playing soon and it would be loud. Anyway, we opted to sit and the music being played (not the band) was so loud that we couldn't really talk. We waited 15 minutes for a waitress to come by to take our drink order without any apology for the wait. No big deal but we were close to walking out which now I wish we did. \n\nWe ordered a glass of wine and a beer and I tried to order an appetizer but she walked away while I was ordering it. Anyway. when she came back and we ordered the buffalo shrimp, a Korean taco and the beer can chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. The buffalo shrimp came out about 5 minutes later and they were very good. The rest of the meal came out about 10 minutes later and it went down hill for there. The Korean taco tasted like sweet, pur\u00e9ed beef. Not appetizing. My husband wouldn't eat it after one bite and I am not sure I have ever seen him not eat more than one bite of a dish. The beer can chicken sandwich was fine if unremarkable. Even though I ordered sweet potato waffle fries we received regular fries (again it was loud in there and hard to hear.). The fries were very good.\n\nMy husband ordered another beer and she took away the first one when he ordered it when it had about 3 sips left in his original beer. \n\nShe offered us dessert but we just wanted to get out of there at that point so I handed her my credit card. I checked the bill after we left and they didn't discount my wine for Wednesday \""1/2 price wine night\"" but that was my fault for not checking it before I paid it.\n\nWe LOVE Baku and we we were more than disappointed that this restaurant was so bad. It's a great location and a cute space but the service and food were subpar at best. | 01

South Park still desperate for a decent casual restaurant other than chain Cheesecake Factory which is not a bad fallback fortunately. This place trying hard to find itself with a wait staff young and honing their skills. I'd guess ownership is completely male hiring mostly female bartenders and wait staff. Are they catering to 25 year old men or families? In addition to our waitress, at least 2 male manager types walk by and ask how things were - surprised we weren't asked to fill a 5 page survey. Menu has a Mexican restaurant feel - inexpensive food at average prices. One appetizer was described as fried oysters and consisted of 5 to 6 small 1/2\"" clam sized oysters in their shell for $15.00 - what!!?. One of their wrap tacos had a entire 3/4\"" slice of lime buried in it - as I bit down to chew I was chewing the skin of a lime - seriously? Clearly somebody in the kitchen doesn't G.A.S. Next! | 01

This place has a managerial problems,bartender problems, and pricing problems. Don't go. | 01

I doubt if I will return. My wife and I got the BBQ combo plate with pulled pork, brisket, beer can chicken, and ribs. The brisket tasted like pot roast and the pulled pork kinda tasted like the brisket. The ribs were okay, but there are so many other places that have far better ribs. The chicken was above average, but nothing worth returning for \n\nFor an app we got the smoked wings. Decent flavor, but fatty. How can wings be fatty?\n\nThe service was mediocre. The server was nice, but her knowledge of the menu was limited. I asked her a question and she had to take the menu from me and look at the description. \n\nThe concept is too cute. Little Branches=Appetizers. Too cute. \n\nThe only good thing was the nice selection of bourbon. | 01
|
BBQ chicken was so dry it was almost inedible. Clearly it had been sitting around warming for some time. The drinks were so watered down it was impossible to taste the liquor. I really wanted to like this place but there was nothing to like. Just plain bad. | 01
|
Beware is all I can say. The tree house is one of those niche places with \""witty\"" menu items like \""sticks\"" instead of sides. The salad and soups are \""leaves and sap\"" you get the point. Prices are way to high...bone in rib eye for $39!!!! It's a small interior with 10 bar stools. This place will be gone by summer 2015 | 01

Interesting decor, waitress was obviously new to the job, but well meaning. We ate lunch, both had the French onion soup. Large pieces of bread, no broth aside from the soggy bread, onions and cheese were OK, but overall not a pleasant soup. Deb had a pulled pork taco she liked, I had a grilled cheese sandwich with roasted peppers. The sandwich was good, but perhaps less goat cheese and more of the other two cheeses would have been better. After reading other reviews about the minuscule wine portions, we had iced tea and lemonade. In spite my request for light ice, my glass was 70% ice, which really irks me. Bottom line, we are in no hurry to return, nothing stands out and with the number of excellent restaurants in the area, I think it will be tough going for this place. | 01

Great atmosphere - decor is thematic without being too kitschy. Looking forward to weather being nice again to sit on what looks like a good patio. Unfortunately, that was the best part of the evening. Tables are set close together, and noise level was high (bouncy acoustics). Food was only so-so - we had 7 different entrees around the table, all of which needed more seasoning. Strange that none of the pulled barbecue had sauce in a town and state that pride themselves on different styles and house secret/special condiments. Mixed drinks were very weak (sad for a whiskey joint), beer selection was okay. Starter salads were good size and looked very fresh. Service was casual but fairly attentive. We may be back to try the patio in spring - hope they will have found their style and settled into a groove by then! | 01

What a crock. First I got stuck in traffic and was 10 min late after calling. Not willing to work with me at all. So by time my massage started it was 15 min after my original start time. So I got a 45 min massage that was just ok. I get a massage about every 6 weeks and this was nothing to rave about at all. Then afterwards when I went to pay, I swear I booked a $60 hour massage and when I went to check out it was $75. So I just paid $75 for a mediocre 45 min massage. I am so upset. I feel like I was taken advantage of. Plus I had a $55 coupon that I was given at my yoga place but unfortunately I forgot it. They wouldn't take my word for it or work with me. I would NOT suggest anyone bother going here. I left in tears I was so upset. There are so many other better places to go. | 01

Great subs great service!! Full of meat, nice and clean quick service. Definitely will go back for more. | 12

This place was the dirtiest restaurant I have even eaten in! \n\nMy wife told me how good firehouse subs were so while going to California she wanted to eat here. We went in and were greeted fast and no one was in line on a Sunday at dinner time (should have been my first clue!) We ordered our sandwiches and went to get the fountain drinks. The floor was filthy and had multiple layers of spills on it. The counter in the drink area also was dirty and had several old spills and trash on it. \n\nI went to try the drink machine and could see lemons or limes inside the drain and other trash in it. The drink machine needed a wiping down and it also had spills all over it. \n\nWe were able to find a table that didn't need too much wiping down so we could eat. This place was slow and only had one other table with dine-in customers. \n\nI counted 9 employees working and they were not busy. I can not believe the management or health department could let this place stay open with it being this dirty. \n\nThe food was not that good either! | 01
|
Stopped by traveling from Los Angeles to Phoenix. Great place. Subs were the best. The subs were freshly made and served warm. Prices were very affordable. The location was super clean everywhere. I would recommend it highly. I would definitely come back. | 12
|
There's nothing better than going shopping and being treated like first class, if I'm going to spend my hard-earned money on something, I like to be well-informed about the product and why it would benefit me. The sales associate was very knowledgeable and friendly, the shop was clean and cute, and in my favorite part of chandler. They had quality shoes, great prices, lots of my favorite brand names and best of all, my size! | 12

We've ordered from Geno's several times now and for the prices you pay it's decent pizza for the price. I like the seasoned crust. My favorite choice here is The Italian - pepperoni, ham, salami and pepperoncinis. \n\nAlso, try ordering a Geno's large pizza and throw some bacon on it (for you carnivores out there). \n\nWings are decent - not the best I've ever had, but not bad. I like the hot and hot bbq the best. Wife likes the garlic parmesan wings. \n\nNext time around I will probably try one if their toasted subs. The Italian and Steak & Cheese sound pretty good. \n\nWhen you call in an order, a lot of times they will give you the coupon discount or tell you about the monthly special, even if you don't know about them. \n\nI had to downgrade my rating for Geno's since I wrote my first review because of two experiences that I had picking up orders. On one trip to get our pizza we found that it had apparently been sitting there for quite some time - much earlier than we were told, so basically we had slightly warmed pizza. Last week it happened again, except this time I walked in to pickup at the time they indicated it would be ready and was told our pizzas should ready in another 5-10 more minutes. After waiting 15, I asked someone, figuring our order might have been lost. What they discovered was that our order had been ready all along on the waiting rack and they missed it. So once again slightly warmed pizza. \n\nIt seems that other customers here share similar experiences with orders that are not ready at the pickup time provided. C'mon Geno's - you need to get your act together... | 01
|
I have never been inspired to write a review on my eating experience as much as my first encounter with Geno's. I had also had to write this review, again, considering it somehow disappeared and how disappointed I was in myself for having fed my family this quality of food...really upset. Earlier this week we decided to order Geno's after having received a flyer in the mail. Considering all the Pizza competition in this tiny San Tan Valley radius, we were extremely disappointed with the quality of food we received. We are realistic people and understand what to expect when getting \""budget\"" friendly pizza options. However, when we initially placed the order via phone, we were told it would he about a 45-60 minute wait. We figured that that since they were this busy that their food must really be good. However, we were really hungry. It was the middle of the week, it was late evening, and we had just gotten home from work. We decided to call back and requested if they could have our order ready for pickup. They said it would be ready in 15 minutes. Happy with this option I jumped in the car within 10 minutes and got there within another 5. When I arrived, they couldn't find my order. I repeated to them my address, my name, my phone number several times. At this point I was thinking they forgot my order. It 5 minutes for them to find it and it had been sitting on a large rack with other orders. I don't recall if there heat lamps or not. When I got home, the pizza and wings were cold. Not even slightly warm. The pizza was poorly put together and looked and tasted like whoever had put it together didn't care about taste or at least have minimum standards of quality. We have ordered budget friendly pizza options from all the other local pizza places and not once have we ever received cold pizza and wings and that was with delivery which usually takes longer. We have realistic expectations on what to expect with certain food options but this was NOT worthy of our money. We won't be giving Geno's a second chance. At the time i wrote my review, there were a alot of negative reviews (which disappeared from yelp somehow) and the owners hadn't respond once to any comments on lack of decent quality. To me this shows that they don't care about the customer and I will spend my money elsewhere moving forward. | 01
|
Pizza always takes over an hour, but tonight it took nearly two. We called to check on our order, and were put on hold - twice. When the pizza finally arrived, it was cold.\n\nWe love that they have a gluten-free option (even though it's TINY and $10), we love that they have $5 pizzas, AND we love that they deliver! \n\nHowever, waiting nearly 2 hours for cold pizza with not even an apology is not something I'm interested in doing again.\n\nI hate giving negative reviews to new businesses, because I really try to like them, but sometimes it's necessary. Something big has to change, or Geno's won't stay in business very long. | 01
|
Greasy greasy! Flavored crust was not flavored. Garlic and herb but looked like they just sprinkled garlic powder on it. Couldn't really taste a difference. Won't be coming back. | 01
|
This Geno's location is absolutely terrible. It takes two hours for a pizza (even when they tell you it will only be one hour). They mess up orders and deliver the wrong food and when you call back to let them know that it's wrong the management staff doesn't care. Their pizza has been excessively greasy and no flavored crust. The ladies answering the phones blame the customers for wrong orders and argue about the delivery time. Worst Geno's in the valley! | 01
|
I went there tonight for the first time and I will NEVER go back. It was the greasiest, grossest pizza I have ever had. The crust was soggy and the pizza was dripping in grease. I guess 5 bucks means 5 yucks!! Plus, the place was so noisy with them banging the dough to death at the kitchen. STAY AWAY! Get a cheap crap pizza at Papa Johns instead. | 01
|
Geno's has been to our home at least 10 times and is usually good considering the price. Tonight after waiting over an hour and calling back they said they couldn't find out house. Not only that but it wasn't on the GPS they said and our home has been here since 2008. Our # is 7482 and the driver said he only could find 7487? Not to mention there's a light over the house # on the garage and on the porch. Manager was willing to deliver cold pizza but not remake them. We cancelled the order and doubt we call again. YOU SUCK. | 01
|
Geno's is one of my family's safety nets! Whenever we run out of time they are one of our top three options of eating out. The food is good, inexpensive and as long as it is not a weekend prepared rather quickly! So if you're looking for quality pizza and don't want to spend a lot check them out. | 12

This shop screams cute..... cute cute cute. It's like a bakery on a movie set, I kid you not. I walked by the shop after lunch and, despite being totally full, I just couldn't not go in... the vintage -y decor and neatly displayed pastries called out to me.... I was doomed. The people who work here are very nice, helpful, and friendly. Their recipes are mostly Italian based, which makes them a little different than other local bakeries. After much deliberation (and I mean MUCH.... like extensive), I tried the brownie and the cheesecake. The brownie looked kind of dry on the outside, but don't let that fool you, it was somewhere between a cake texture and a fudgy brownie texture, certainly not dry. The brownie was chocolatey but not overly rich with chocolate chips throughout. Was it my favorite brownie in town? No (I am partial to a fudgy more chocolatey and rich brownie). But it was very good and if I were in the neighborhood I would get it again. The cheesecake, on the other hand, was fairly awesome. This was no New York cheesecake. It was surprisingly light and airy, not the heavy oh-my-god-I'm-so-full-need-bigger-pants kind of cheesecake you get most places (not that I don't like that too, this was just something you may want to eat with more frequency). It was sweet without being overly sweet and they didn't complicate it with toppings or flavors, it was just a good plain cheesecake. Oh, and it isn't served in slices, it's served like a cupcake.... so cute. Anyway, each dessert cost 3$, so the prices are competitive with other local bakeries. Definitely check this cute little bakery out next time you're in the area.\n\nPS they have cupcakes and the flavors change depending on the baker's mood each day.... how cute is that?\n\nPPS Can I say cute one more time? Whoa. | 12

The atmosphere is nice but steer clear of the food and drinks. My friend ordered a mojito and the basil in the mojito was brown and wilting! As a \""bartender\"" how do you serve something like this to your customers?? Do you not even look at the product that you are making for someone? It gets better (or worse!) The queso dip with chorizo was horrible. The chips were stale tasting with tons of seasoning on them. The queso tasted like cardboard and the chorizo-um three little chunks of chorizo?! I hardly call that queso AND chorizo dip. Tacos were on special that night and I was highly unimpressed with them. I could make a dozen tacos at home with a higher quality of ingredients for the cost that I spent on two tacos here. Service was sparse and somewhat scattered. | 01
|
I'll start by saying I'm a huge fan of authentic Mexican cuisine. El toro loco and Emeliano's are my go to in the Southside. Me and my buddy went for happy hour where they have some decent drink specials and solid food specials. We both ordered the three amigos chips/ salsa and queso. The three amigos is 3 tacos 3 different kinds of meat, your choice of corn of flour tort and two kinds of toppings. Wow, they were phenomenal. Our bills came to $6.02 after splitting the bill. I would of gave 5 starts but they charge for chips and salsa. | 12
|
nope. the restaurant looked nice, but felt dirty. we watched the hostess pick few pieces of food off of the table with her fingers (gross), but never wiped it off. the food was not so great. the guac was clearly not fresh...it was bland and tasted like pre-packaged goo. the margarita was ok, but relatively flavorless for 9$. salsa was definitely not housemade. you get the idea. cool atmosphere, but we won't be back. | 01
|
Food was mediocre; edible but lacked flavor. Wait staff was ok. Atmosphere was great! | 01
|
Been to the one in Shadyside a few times and always had a good experience. The one in the south side still doesn't have it together. Service was awful. Took 20+ minutes to get our first round of drinks. Our server took our order after we were sitting there for 30 minutes. Our food came out, but we didn't have silverware. Server came over 10 minutes later and finally addressed the issue. By the time we had everything we needed to eat, the food was cold. It wasn't even a packed house, so the excuse that they were really busy isn't applicable. The manager still tries to use the excuse 'we just opened and are still working on things'. It's a restaurant chain that's been open for weeks now. They should have things rolling smoothly by now if they new what they were doing. Won't be going back and would not recommend. | 01

This place sucks! Literally the worst food I've paid for in the 26 years I've been on this earth. Skip this place - anywhere is better. Trust me. | 01

We only came here because La Palapa was full with a 45 minute wait, we were starving, this was across the street, and they could seat us immediately. Sad disappointment. Next time I'll get takeout from La Palapa, or make a reservation there. \n\nTo be fair, the chipotle salsa was okay, but the chips were extra tough, and the pile was about four times too large for the amount of salsa.\n\nWe tried the beet tacos (interesting, but not amazing), and the fish tacos (downright bad). The rice and beans included as side dishes weren't great either. I think this place mainly caters to the college drinking crowd, but I wouldn't go here for the food. The bathroom was also completely out of soap which is a little gross. | 01
|
This place is just a Mad Mex clone, and Mad Mex kinda sucks. I popped into this location for a quick lunch. The food was mediocre. It took way too long for me to get service even though there were very few people there. \n\nThis place is supposed to be mexican, I guess. They don't have Mezcal, though. I've been to local dive bars who have better tequila selection. Steel Cactus is a half-baked concept. The only positive is that the space looks pretty cool. Staff was fine. | 01

J'habite juste \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9, et c'est bon de savoir qu'il y a un tr\u00e8s vietnamien \u00e0 deux coins de rue de chez soi.\n\nLe cadre est tr\u00e8s cosy et chaleureux et j'ai eu la chance de profiter de la terasse: tr\u00e8s agr\u00e9able face au parc Jeanne mance.\n\nPour ce qui est de la nourriture c'est vraiment tr\u00e8s bon ce que j'ai go\u00fbt\u00e9 que ce soit la soupe coco o\u00f9 encore les d\u00e9s de boeuf en wok. D'ailleurs pour le menu lunch \u00e7a n'a co\u00fbt\u00e9 que 16$. Je reviendrai tr\u00e8s rapidement pour essayer d'autres mets sur la carte. Je recommande vivement cette place. | 12

C\u00f4t\u00e9 d\u00e9sappointement, eh bien, on est servi. C'est du vietnamien de boutique. Pas trop mauvais mais pas du tout authentique. Ma copine est tr\u00e8s sensible au MSG et a du prendre un bon caf\u00e9, \u00e0 la maison, pour se calmer le syst\u00e8me. \nPour les R\u00e9servations, il faudra corriger le tir. Ils ne r\u00e9pondent pas au t\u00e9l\u00e9phone et leur message vous sugg\u00e8re d'envoyer un courriel, alors que le ma\u00eetre des lieux me dit qu'ils n'ont pas le temps de les lire.\nLe service est tr\u00e8s coll\u00e9gial, c'est a dire pas tr\u00e8s professionnel et in\u00e9gal selon le talent de chacun.\nC'est un peu cher pour la qualit\u00e9 et ne sont pas \u00e0 la hauteur pour les journ\u00e9es de grande affluence. | 01

Awesome new restaurant. Decor and atmosphere was impressive. Albacore Tataki appetizer was excellent. They also had Mango Boba Cocktail which was good. Yaki Udon was on point. Tried the Eight Roll, Miami Roll, Firecracker Roll, Sashimi Roll, and Sea to Shore Roll. All were tasty. Did I mention they also make their own sriracha?! Eight is Great! | 12
|
Took my turn at visiting this new place just last weekend and was impressed. The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly regarding the menu options as well as being attentive but not overly so as to annoy.\n\nI chose a couple non rice/low carb options and while I've tried these types of rolls at other places, Eight really got it right. \n\nThis is the old Bask place but they have really transformed it via some very unique artwork by a local artist and given it a very trendy vibe. | 12
|
Food was excellent. It is good for casual sushi but service could be more professional. | 12
|
Finally another great sushi place in Charlotte!\n\nI am always hesitant about sushi restaurants, they are either really good, or really, really bad. Eight has a funky laid back vibe and feels very welcoming. Some of the great artwork by local artists, ahem..Matt Hooker & Matt Moore, gives this place a vibrant feel. \nI was a bit disappointed they don't serve hot sake, but was quickly turned on to the cold sake served in shot glass inside a box which fills with the pour over from the glass. The server told me the overflow was a representation of of happiness and good luck. Quite charming I might say. \nThe food was on point, we ordered several rolls and one beef skewer. I was impressed with everything we had. They have a lot to choose from and it was hard to make a decision. The Godzilla Wrath roll was probably one of my favorites, it's super spicy (in a good way) so if you're not a fan of the heat, I'd steer clear. \nI highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning to try some more items. | 12
|
Wish I could review the food. They never brought my dish to me. They told me that the chef \""missed it\"". I had reservations at the Comedy Zone, so I couldn't wait another hour for them to bring me anything. I guess I could ask the other people at my table how they enjoyed their food. Not impressed. | 01
|
Eight probably has some of the best interior design I've seen in Charlotte. Unfortunately, their food quality and service fall to the other side of the spectrum. The Ramen noodles were served in a custom kitchen broth that tasted more like a bad gravy. The Korean beef skewers were mediocre, cold, and I couldn't help but think of the old lady on the old Wendy's commercial - (\""Where's the beef!\"")The summer rolls were pretty good. The best thing I had was probably the papaya salad, but there simply wasn't enough of it. A friend of mine at the table gave me two of his dumplings because he knew I was still very hungry after all of my appetizer samples. The dumplings were ok. I didn't get my drink until after my food starting coming out and had to ask for a refill. Overall, the experience was so poor that I'm not sure I would be willing to go back, and spend my money on small portions of food. The lack of quality, plate size, and overpriced food were just too many disappointing factors to allow me to give this place another chance. To make matters worse, my friend seated across from me, waited an hour and a half to never receive his food. He literally left the restaurant without one bite of food. I think it's safe to say that the manager knew full well that several of us at the table had a bad restaurant experience. I'm really surprised he didn't make an effort to smooth things over for PR purposes by visiting our table and offering an apology. I wish this restaurant the best of luck but like so many things at the nc music factory over the years, this restaurant might go the way of the dodo... | 01

Finally checked this place out! The decor is really cool. I was surprised that the place was empty when we went for dinner, but hey that means less waiting for us! We took advantage of their buy 1 get 1 roll free special, which is a really good deal. They also have happy hour specials, so make sure to check those out on their website.\n\nThe complimentary edamame hummus and shrimp chips were delicious and something new. I've never had edamame hummus before! I'm no sushi expert, but I thought the food was good, no complaints.\n\nAs far as service, I think there could be room for improvement. Our server seemed a bit bothered when we asked questions and didn't really seem like he wanted to be there. We were the only table he was taking care of, I'm sure he could have put in a little more effort. We were curious about the sake box shots, but he didn't really do a good job explaining what it was... just sake shots in a box? A table next to us got those shots and their waiter made it seem interesting and I read a review here that there's a story behind the box shots. If our waiter explained them, I'm pretty sure we would have ordered a round or 2.\n\nWill be back when I'm craving sushi again! | 12

I really wanted to love this place because if anyone has read any of my reviews I love sushi and seafood in general so a new Sushi spot is something I always welcome...\n\nThat being said I cant give my personal thumbs up to Eight.\n\nWe decided to try this place out last Friday at my urging because the reviews I saw were pretty good. We arrived at about 8pm and though there were people the place wasn't very crowded at all. As other reviewers have stated the d\u00e9cor in the inside is quite nice. We asked if we could sit at the bar since no one was at the entire bar and the tables they had free were very low for my tall companion. \n\nWe sat a the bar and waited for 10 minutes before we asked could we put our order in. Did I mention NO ONE was at the bar. We put in a simple order bottle of Sake, order of egg rolls to share, 2 orders of miso soup, and 2 orders of dancing eel roll.\n\nWaiter poured and spilled some of the Sake. 20mins later our eggrolls came out... bland and not that tasty though they were hot. Another 15 mins went by and we had to ask about our soup. 10 minutes later One bowl of soup arrived?? When we inquired about the second bowl of soup we got an apology from the waiter that he was confused. When we placed our order I ordered my soup and roll first. When the waiter went to my partner he said \""I want the same thing, soup and the same roll\""....so not sure how that could be confused... But hey no harm no foul. The Second bowl of soup comes out 15 minutes later. No tofu, no seaweed, just 2 slivers of mushroom and water?? We sent that bowl of soup back. Another 15 minutes go by with no roll. We ask again and are told its coming.. 5 minutes later ONE roll arrives. The waiter never corrected his mistake. After a lot of apologizing...we just asked for the check. The roll was gross, chewy, small, with ONE piece of eel on the entire roll. By that time too much time had passed to find another sit down restaurant-mainly because my partner had to work in the AM and it was much too late. He was forced to eat a turkey sandwich when we got home so he wouldn't starve .\n\nThe one star I give is to the manager on duty that night. He was apologetic and over all very nice..however we will not return for a do over. | 01

Sorry all...but let me get to business. We were so excited for BBQ and it's at Town Sq....score!!!\nWalked to a gorgeous space where everyone was all smiles and friendly. We sat at the bar...bartender was super nice too.\nOk food! Menu is ok....missing things like BBQ sandwiches and French fries but since we didn't bring the kids it was fine (that's what they like as for BBQ). My husband and I split the platter that has brisket, half chicken(opted for the all white meat) and pulled pork. It came with 2 sides he chose collard green and Mac and cheese...we also added corn bread and a side of hot links.\nFood came out promptly it was Luke warm at best and most of the meats were dried...we sent it back and they warmed it up. Mac and cheese was ok and the greens had no flavor...corn bread was the best part of my meal.\nThey have 4 BBQ sauces none of them very good at all....also there was no bbq smoke flavor...they said they smoke their meats low and slow...but by the dried out grill marks from the chicken...I don't think so.\nSorry we won't be back....very disappointed. | 01

Awesome atmosphere, hand painted wall art, saxophone chandeliers and great service! Had the burnt end sliders and a Great Basin Brewery Milk Stout which was awesome, being from Reno I appreciated the Nevada flavor. Will be back very soon for some dinner. | 12

We decided to try Pot Liquor CAS after seeing a tweet sent out by Brian T from Marquee. He was so thrilled, I wanted to see for myself.\n\nPot Liquor CAS is located just down the way from Yard House and right next to valet at Town Square. There wasn't a wait and we were greeted and seated immediately.\n\nThe decor is really cool, upscale casual type vibe. Cloth napkins on the lovely dark wood tables.\n\nWe had two back servers greet us at our table, one with a glass bottle of water. Our main server was Kristen B. and she was a complete delight! Very bubbly and energetic with a cute accent.\n\nWe ordered the Beef with the Chicken and the Hog, sides of corn muffins (for me) and french fries with White Sauce (for the husband).\n\nThe wait was about 20 minutes or so for our food but once that platter of deliciousness was brought to us, the wait didn't matter.\n\nCorn muffins were yummy with a warm honey butter served on the side. French fries had a good seasoning on them and went well with the white sauce.\n\nThe brisket was incredible! So tender and juicy! I wished there had been more on our platter!\n\nThe chicken had a great sear, juicy and flavorful. And what a nice surprise to have the chicken served as an airline breast! (Boneless breast with drumette bone attached) When does one ever see that in a barbecue place?\n\nAnd then there was the pork. The Carolina Pulled Pork. WOW!! The smoke flavor in that pork was just amazing!! I want to go back for lunch just to have that pork in a sandwich.\n\nOur platter came with a few sauces, Cue #2 which had a great kick, the vinegar based one which I loved and the white, mayo based sauce.\n\nI personally liked the kick of 'cue #2 mixed with the vinegar base of the other :)\n\nWe enjoyed our meal and will return again. \n\nThanks to GM John for coming over and introducing himself. Welcome to the neighborhood, Pot Liquor CAS. | 12

Best BBQ spot in LV. Carl, the server was fantastic! Christian at the bar was great. Can't say enough about the food and service. | 12

Love this place!! All the food is amazing!! The service is great and they have really good drinks!! | 12

Went here for lunch on Wednesday September 24th, restaurant maybe half full at best.\n\nAt first impression I like the decor, the simplistic look, the colors all in all looks nice, but then you sit down and realize that the furniture is garbage, the chairs are way to small and hard and the tables are to low for even average people.\n\nThe menu looks good but way overpriced, somewhat to expect for Townsquare but this is bad, however the orders were made for lunch, some sandwiches a burger etc.\n\n40 minutes later the food comes out and now really makes the point that this is a disaster, now the food is not bad let's make that clear but average at best, combine that with the horrible seating and poor service my conclusion is don't even bother.\n\nThis is a rare bad review from me in a town with a ton of dining offered, but the experience is so bad that I felt I had to do this. | 01
|
Unfortunately, I was not able to try everything on the menu in one sitting! However, the rubbed ribs, collard greens, and succotash was delicious. I grew up in the South and know something about greens and BBQ. I'll tell you that the food at Pot Liquor is delicious. The staff is very attentive, My server, Leia is an absolute gem. Friendly, attentive, and there when you need her. The BBQ sauces are amazing; hot Texas style, Memphis sweet, Carolina Vinegar, and Alabama white are too good to describe. \n\nI can't sing the praises of this place enough, so I will have to go back on my next trip the LV and try some more of their delectable fare. \nr | 12

One of my close friends Antonio had his 18th birthday party here and everything was absolutely perfect! The BBQ, the salad, the Mac and cheese, chicken! I was in heaven. The customer service was rapid quick and super friendly! Might start being the best restaurant in town square !!! | 12
|
Pros = Nice looking place, decor is pleasant. Also, we got a nice discount from the manager after our experience (see below.) \n\nCons = Just about everything else. Our server was nice, but her service was slow. The food took over an hour (not exaggerating) to get to us, and the food (that was actually what we ordered... Some was messed up) was over-cooked. Also, for a BBQ place, they seem to have some sort of issue with barbecue sauces.\nRibs, Brisket, and sandwiches were ordered, and everyone got one half-filled ramekin of BBQ sauce each, that's it. The Mac and cheese was good, although a little bland. The collard greens were OK, but nothing any home cook couldn't do better with.\nGoing back to the lack of sauce for a minute, when asked for more sauce, they brought out a plate with 3 more half-filled ramekins on it, explaining they were the \""Q1, Q2, and Q3 sauces.\"" when asked what that meant, we were told they are three different sauces... Great, thanks! \n\nIf you live in Vegas, you already know to go to Lucille's or Rollin' Smoke for your BBQ. Let the tourists deal with this place. | 01

Not what I would call good or fair BBQ, edible maybe. Had the Carolina pulled pork for lunch, not even close to real Carolina pulled pork. Having spent 7 years working back and forth in the Carolina's, I've had my share of pulled pork. No flavor to the meat, slaw served on the side and vinegar on side does not count as Carolina BBQ sauce. Prices are very high, yes they do offer bottled still or sparking water for free (thus 2 stars vs 1), but nearly $4 for a fountain drink? Pass on this place till they figure their prices and recipes out. Feel bad saying this, but better food and value at a chain like Famous Daves or Lucilles in the area right now. | 01
|
$3.95 for a soda? I should have known right there they weren't interested in locals (yes, I'm familiar with the prices at other local restaurants this is, after all, my neighborhood). My brisket sandwich had so much fat that I gave up and took the rest home for the dog. Too bad, because I was looking forward to having a high quality BBQ restaurant, nearby. I will watch to see if there are any substantial changes in their approach, before returning. | 01

Who knew barbecue could be so refined? Pot Liquor just opened up in Town Square and we are so happy to have it. I immediately noticed the pork belly with country grits, and even though I'm usually not a fan of grits we decided to run with it. This paid off, just order it. Seriously, just do it. They were creamy and cheesy, and had the comforting nostalgia of mac and cheese. This was a big deal for me because I need to stay away from gluten, and this is gluten free. There are little GF circles all over the menu so anyone with this allergy shouldn't feel left out. I didn't even get to the pork belly itself yet. It was almost caramelized, nicely seared on the outside, while being rich, juicy, and tender on the inside. Most places I've been to, the pork belly is usually crunchy or chewy (sometimes overly), but this was neither. It was on another level, it melted in your mouth almost like you'd expect foie gras to. I'm gonna say this again, it was almost like pork foie gras. \n\nI got the Worcestershire braised short ribs. The presentation kind of blew my mind, it was on par with the high end dining I've seen in Scottsdale or Cave Creek AZ. This flavor was balanced, Worcestershire can be overpowering or it's used so sparingly you'd be oblivious to the fact you're consuming it if it wasn't listed. The initial kick hits and tapers nicely. The meat is falling apart as you pick it up with your fork, and again, the flavors are overall warm and comforting. \n\nService was great, the food took a while to come out. It's still worth it but it's hard to make within a lunch hour. I also understand this place just opened and we think the kitchen might have been shot staffed. We were there the day before the official grand opening. I think this place has the potential for 4 stars once they work some of the kinks out. | 12
|
So.... everyone seemed to have good things to say about this place, I might be the only odd one out. We went there on a Friday around lunchtime and the place only had couple tables to start. We were greeted by the hostess and we asked to see the menu first before deciding whether to eat here or not. The menu looked very appealing so we got a table. \n\nThe decoration inside was clean, appealing and very nice. Our server was very friendly and prompt. So why did I give this a 1 star?\n\nWe ordered off the lunch menu. DH got the T.L.B \""Tender Loving Bacon\"" (10.95) and I got the Shrimp Po' Boy (13.95). And we ordered the appetizer Pork Belly With Country Grits (9.95). (See the pictures I posted)\n\nThe App came out in a decent amount of time, it was only 2 pieces of pork belly on top of some grits, the presentation is nice and the flavors were ok. But come on, it is not worth $9.95 price tag. Before we were done with our app the entrees came out. DH's T.L.B is a joke, size wise, it's like 4 bites and with 2 pieces of bacon and they call it a BLT and charge $10.95 for it?? It probably only cost them $2 at the most to make this at this portion. \n\nMy Po' Boy was decently sized, I got few pieces of large shrimp in mine. The flavor however is lacking. No seasoning whatsoever and the shrimp had a heavy shrimp smell to it (it wasn't very fresh). Both dishes came with a side of cole slaw and fries. The cole slaw did not have flavor, only a touch of vinegar. We both only ate one bite of it and that's it. The fries were good, crunchy and fresh out of the fryer.\n\nOverall, the food just did not live up to the description on the menu and it's way too overpriced. I know this location must have a high overhead but you cannot charge $10.95 for a kid's sized sandwich. | 01
|
I was so excited to try this after reading all the positive reviews. This place was a let down. I had to double check to see if some Yelp event was hosted here first to ensure the great reviews. It doesn't look that way. This place just missed the mark. Maybe because they are only 5 weeks old? \n\nPROS: Fried Green Tomato salad - prosciutto, goat cheese and red onion. \n Meat falls off the bone.\n\nCONS: Ribs were served below warm \n Mopped ribs (means sauced) needed lots more sauce\n Lemon meringue marshmallow topping on yams\n \nWe left and knew we probably won't be back. It's rare, but sometimes the ratings and me don't mix. | 01
|
I had the brisket and my husband had the pulled pork. Our meat was full of fat so we went our dishes back and the revised brisket was then dry and the pulled pork looked more like burnt ends. And, to top it off, about two hours later, we were both very sick. We only had eaten here so can't blame it on anywhere else and no, it wasn't a stomach bug. I want to enjoy and recommend new places but I just have nothing that I can positively say about this place. I've had much better BBQ at other places and did not end up sick. | 01
|
So we came here cause we heard good things from friends. We were excited that it was happy hour so 25% off menu items. Needless to say, we were very disappointed! Thought we ordered a lot of food but the portions were tiny. The food was average nothing to rave about but the most shocking part is our bill was $60 before tip!!! Did I mention this was during happy hour! & no leftovers... Will not be returning that's for sure. | 01
|
Overall the food was great. Took my family here for lunch. No kids menu but they have a descent Mac and cheese for a side dish. Chrissy chicken and pulled pork sandwiches were delicious. | 12
|
Our server Paul was great! The Mac and cheese was delicious! The green beans are a must! The chandeliers are really cool! \n\nIt's good to have another fun option at Town Square. It seems like we're always going to Yard House, Brio, or CPK. This a Southern style BBQ joint with some unique food options that I'm too picky to try. | 12
|
Fried green tomato salad and the pork belly appetizers are a must! The ribs were amazing as well! Great beer list and cocktail menu. Beth the bartender was great. | 12
|
Imitation fast made BBQ. Reliant on the sauces for any flavor. Got the combination plate to sample each meat. \n\nFirst- the good. The Mac&Cheese was outstanding!\n\nThe bad-\nThe brisket was 90% fat 10% meat. (See picture) the \""pulled pork\"" isn't even pulled!! It's chopped up! You can see the blade cuts and it's all blocky, not stringy like a pulled pork is! \n\nCandied yams were just O.K.\n\nThis is lazy BBQ at Town Square prices.\n\nEDIT: To add- the atmosphere is very nice. I could go here for a drink at the bar, and be very comfortable in this Industrial/Americana setting. | 01
|
The candied yams and French fries with white sauce are a must. The wait service was very good. Our waiter took the time to explain the menu and type of cuisine on the menu. \n\nEverything else we had was a disappointment. My husband said it is like the chef used the wrong recipe for his meal (pulled pork looked like chicken?) and my brisket was so like three days old dry. Good brisket should almost melt in your mouth and be so savory you don't notice the space in between bites. We did not finish our meals. We lied and said we were full. \n\nAnd perhaps this is because they are new but there was no diaper changing station. Fail for mamas! \n\nWon't go back. | 01
|
First and foremost, our food was great!!\nThe staff was awesome and very friendly. The Manager (Francis) came by to say hi and thank us for coming in. We were a lunch party of 8. Everyone at the table enjoyed the lunch.\n\nI would definitely go back! Although maybe not for lunch. The food took a long time to show up, even though as I said...maybe worth the wait? From sitting to ordering to getting our food was 45 minutes. On a regular lunch break, it is too long for me.\n\nLuckily this was a \""work lunch\"" so a long lunch we could all get away with.\nAnd thankfully it was a \""work is treating lunch\"" because they have one menu for lunch and dinner. My 1/2 order of ribs was $18, which is a little bit rich for my lunch budget. Wish they had a cheaper lunch menu, might reconsider. Although I did see a couple lunch sandwiches in the corner of the menu. But I mean a smaller portion, less than $10 lunch menu. \n\nBut with all that said, I would go back, for sure! This will be a super tasty place to go before a movie at Town Square, or the place to eat with friends on a night out. When time is not an issue, and $18 for dinner entree is fine! | 12
|
Not sure where to even start! We were the first ones in for lunch, our food took an hour and the order was incorrect - my husband did note when he pulled up, that the cooks were outside smoking cigarettes... The waitress was this annoying blond, who kept interrupting our conversation to say mindless things. Now the food - ugh, tasteless, overpriced, fatty crap - ugh, none of us liked our meal. Go to Famous Daves or Lucille for better b-que! | 01
|
We loved the ambience and location, but our service was slow and our food was less than expected in taste. We relied on the sauces whereas most ribs are enjoyed alone.\nWe had the pulled pork, two types of ribs, and our sides were Hoppin John and Corn Succotash. Not much for flavor on anything. \nOther than overpriced drinks, the atmosphere is fantastic and the hostesses were helpful and welcoming. | 01
|
Seriously the best BBQ in Las Vegas...and I've tried them all. We ordered a full rack of spareribs and baby back ribs and the moment the plate arrived, we knew that we were in for something special. Amazing quality and quantity...honestly, I've never seen so much meat on a rib before and I'd swear that we were each given several pounds of pure meat. This is the first time I have not been able to finish my \""rack\"" of anything on the first sitting...not even close, I brought half of the ribs home.\n\nMuch like the meat, the side dishes were incredible. My wife had sweet potatoes that were plentiful and topped with marshmellow and the report was \""best I've ever had\"". We both had excellent green beans. And the Mac & Cheese...wow...honestly the best I've ever had...large and cheesy and creamy.\n\nWe eat 99.5% of our meals out and it's not often that we're pleasantly surprised by a new restaurant. Well, our hat is of to Pot Liquor CAS. We've already settled on the fact that the next time we feel like BBQ...this is the place! | 12
|
I was really frustrated with my two experiences with Pot Liquor.\n\nMy first experience I ordered my food to go. (This was roughly a month ago right when they opened) I'm a town square employee and I figured that order 30 minutes in advance would provide them with ample time to complete my order. I walked in and the hostess told me to take a seat at the bar. The bartender was prompt in providing my check and a glass of water. After that, the experience went downhill. Fast forward to me asking where my food was multiple times in the next 45 minutes. They still had not brought it out and I asked them to refund my card. Disappointment was an understatement. Also, they didn't reverse the transaction.\n\nYesterday, I opted to give them another try because I figured that the first experience was just a hiccup with them opening initially. They got my food out in an adequate amount of time, but when I went to eat my food in our break room, they gave me a grilled chicken sandwich when I asked for the fried chicken sandwich. I asked for no tomatoes due to a food allergy, and low and behold, tomatoes were on my sandwich.\n\nI tried to give them another chance and they messed up again, needless to say, I will not be returning. I was really excited about a different option within the mall, but sadly they still have some kinks to work out. However, I'll most likely not be retuning to see if those kinks ever get addressed. | 01
|
I'm frustrated at the overpromotion of this place. The meat is extremely salty and not nearly as good as other BBQ in this town, and this is a bad town for BBQ. The place is no bargain, and I'm not a fan of overly tattoed and botoxed servers. | 01
|
Only been here one time so far but it was really good. Good appetizers, salads, BBQ and drinks. I will definitely check it out again sometime. Cool vibe inside with bar, tv's, etc plus it's in town square so there are plenty of things to do in the area. I would recommend checking it out! | 12
|
Seems like a tourist trap. Overpriced for the food. Atmosphere was great. Service was great. Unfortunately the food was not great. Won't be back. | 01
|
My husband and I went on Friday to have a couple of drinks and apps at the bar. We ordered the deviled eggs which were just ok. The burnt ends, were not burnt and was just a pile of fat. We also order the pork rinds, the menu states they have a chili lime salt, which I could not taste at all. The drinks were ok, the bartenders seem to be in panic mode with trying to measure every ounce. I may go back to try something on the dinner menu but no rush. | 01
|
Ok we came in after the Santa parade trying to find a place to have a quick dinner. Smelled good and seemed promising. Food gets 1 star, but I added another star since their service is actually great. Everyone was so nice, helpful, and quick to service. My daughters had ribs with fries. The ribs were\nNot cooked properly and were still on the raw side. We wanted to order their crab appetizer but they said they were out, so were ordered their hummus and prawns. Prawns had no taste. Hummus was ok, nothing special to rave about After I tried ordering a sandwich and told I could only have it for lunch we got annoyed and left. Best thing there was prob my sons chicken fingers, but not what I would want for dinner | 01

After recently moving to LV from the deep south my fiance and I were quite excited to find a new BBQ joint because we both love the stuff. However, Pot Liquor was very disappointing.\n\nHighs:\n-Service! There was a French gentleman (owner or manager) who was very nice and our waiter did the best he could considering the ridiculous wait times.\n\n-Baked crab app was delicious.\n\n-Kale cashew slaw was delightful.\n\nLows:\n-Service was EXTREMELY slow. Dining room was half full and it took 45 minutes for the apps, then another 45 for the entrees to appear. I had beer but my fiance's cocktail took 20 mins. Smoked meats aren't done to order so I have no idea what the hold up was.\n\n-A terrible smell, sewage or grease trap meant we had to move tables. The issue was handled well and there were plenty of tables to choose from but be warned it was nauseating.\n\n-BBQ overall was not very good. The pulled pork was in fact chopped and both the seasoning and smokiness were tepid. Lot of fat left on board too.\n\n-Chicken was mediocre and all the sides (except slaw) were under seasoned.\n\n\nI know that this place just opened and the service issues could just be kinks but you have to nail the BBQ down. This place is pricey and it's just not worth us trying it again to see if they've figured it out yet. | 01

I will gladly drink the Pot Liquor here!! This was a great dining experience!\n\nA large group of us made reservations for Pot Liquor CAS for a Tuesday night (to take advantage of the Happy Hour Tuesday special- 25% off the entire menu). The hostess was SO friendly and warm and seated us right away. The restaurant is beautiful, gorgeous chandeliers, red brick walls, and really struck the right balance between down-home BBQ and upscale. \n\nThe food- DELICIOUS! I was able to sample the Deviled Eggs, which were a little more mustard-y than I prefer (I like mine a bit sweeter), but the cracklins on top were a great touch!\n\nYou could easily make a meal from sampling a few of the appetizer options, and some of our party did. My mom and I decided to be fatties and split the \""Go Hog Wild\"" plate, which included dry rubbed spareribs, pulled pork, baby back ribs, and hot links as well as two side dishes (mac & cheese and candied yams). We also got a side of brisket, cause... we just had to! THANK GOODNESS our server let us know that these plates were meant to be shared! \n\nBoth varieties of ribs were very tender, well seasoned and yummy! There were 3 types BBQ sauce served on the side. The brisket wasn't as tender as I like, but it had a good flavor. The hot links had a kick to them, also very good. The only thing that I didn't like so much was the pulled pork. \n\nThe side dishes were also fantastic. I could eat that mac & cheese every day! \n\nMy only real complaint is that the food is served just warm- I like my meals to be piping hot, but that's just a personal preference. \n\nOne of my friends got the chicken pot pie, which had a puff pastry topping, and that looked really delicious as well- I'll be back to sample that! \n\nWe couldn't leave without trying dessert, so we ordered the brownie bread pudding... AMAZING!! The perfect balance, not too sweet, and the gelato on top was a great compliment. \n\nThe service was great all around, and the waitress even very kindly split the checks for us. The hostess even took tons of pictures of our group after we finished eating.\n\nI am definitely a fan, and I will be back for more of this liquor! | 12

In our group recently, the men enjoyed a gigantic sandwich of meats and meats, with bacon. The fries were among the best ever we've had.\n BUT southren* cooking doesn't have to come with a layer of fat 1/3 thick on smoked brisket. And a body expects the brisket to be tender. Pot Liquor's dipping and barbecue sauces are unnecessarily inventive--all the barbecue sauces were composed on the same overly - hot base. The mayo-based horseradish/lemon zest sauce was bland and puzzling. We tried a smattering of other traditional southern dishes, but they were disappointing enough to be unmemorable. Prices were high for the quality.\nService was super friendly and excellent. The store doesn't slam you with loud music.\nMe going back? Nope. Guys might for the sandwich and fries. Order 1 of them for two. | 01

Today I read a food critic's column in the Las Vegas Review Journal's NEON section which gave 4 A ' s to a new restaurant at Town Square, POT LIQUOR CAS. Wow, I thought! 4 A's. This must be a great place. So off we went to dinner with another couple with grand visions of a fabulous meal to come. This restaurant is far from fabulous, not 4 A's as described in the column. Not even close! The food arrived cold, the brisket was more fat than meat and not very tender, the ribs were dry and unappealing; the mac and cheese side was bland and had not a taste of cheese; one of my dining companions sent his brisket back in exchange for the pulled pork but, after arriving looking like half a football, it too was sent back. The waiter was pleasant enough and sent an assistant manager who advised he'd get some less fatty brisket. This 3rd replacement was better with less fat. My complaint to the general manager was handled very poorly with no accommodation. This was followed with a complaint to the chef - owner who responded with no emotion. I gave this place a one star rating because the cornbread muffin was just ok and the water was wet! We eat out often and I've not ever felt so used and cheated. | 01

We were in the mood for ribs and our friends, who had eaten here before, let us know that there was 25 percent off for locals on Tuesday night. While I had always been a fan of Famous Daves and Lucille's, I was more than happy to try this place that was offering a nice discount. I ordered the mopped baby back ribs which I shared with my wife. We got two sides with it. We ordered the Hoppin John and the Mellowed Candied Yams.\n\nThe ribs were among the best ribs I've ever eaten. First of all they were meatier than any ribs I've ever gotten in the past. Even with two of us sharing a full rack, we were not even close to being able to finish it. The portion was huge. They were cooked to perfection. And I really liked that they weren't swimming in barbecue sauce. They just seem to put a small amount on to give it a little flavor. They did give a small container of BBQ sauce on the side for those people who wanted even more. But to my mind the amount that it came with was close to perfect. The Hoppin John side dish was a rice dish with some beans in it ( not really sure what kind of beans they were). That dish was absolutely delicious. A perfect accompaniment to the ribs. The mellowed candied yams are also very good. They were a little too sweet for my taste but what should I expect when the word candied is in the name.\nThis is now my go-to place for ribs. Goodbye Famous Daves and Lucille's. | 12

Popped in for lunch one day after deciding to try something new. Glad we did. Amazing brisket sandwich!!!! I'm not sure if it was the owner that greeted us when we arrived, but he was very nice in fact everyone was extremely pleasant. Glad we found a new lunch place in Town Square. | 12

It's apparent the kitchen has no idea how to operate. The food was good. I was not upset with that. However 50 mins for bbq is absurd. Bbq should be done. \n\nThe owners friend sat next to us and they had no problem getting food early with prompt service. We however, were not given the same respect or service from staff...\n\nIt's unfortunate because I was really looking forward to trying this place in hopes for good bbq in LV | 01

I came across Pot Liquors as I was walking around Town Square the other night. I was checking out the menu when the hostess came out to talk a little about the restaurant. She mentioned they were doing a \""Thanksgiving Meal\"". So doing a little more research on the places, reading a lot of positive reviews, I convinced my mom to cancel our original plans and to try this new restaurant instead. Unfortunately that was a big mistake. \n\nI really wanted to like this place after reading all the reviews on the food and the service. The same hostess that I encountered the other night sat us rather promptly. That was probably the only positive thing about our experience. It all went down hill from there. From the time we got sat, it took 15 minutes for a server to come over and help us. And if it wasnt for the hostess walking by asking us if a server had helped us yet, we'd probably still be there waiting for a server. And it wasnt that busy. Finally a young server named Kristen showed up and took our order. My mom and I ordered the special thanksgiving meal. The drinks arrived promptly. Several minutes later the server came back to inform us that they were out of the butternut squash soup and asked if cream of mushroom would be ok to substitute. I really didnt care either way. 10 minutes after she took our order the soup finally arrived. I wish it would have stayed back in the kitchen. The temperature was luke warm at best. At least I didnt have to worry about burning myself. After finishing our soups another 15 minutes passed before our main entrees arrived. That's probably because they were sitting out for 15 minutes, allowing them to cool down. Not one item of food on the plate was hot. Again, like the soup, everything was luke warm. I pushed the plate to the side and waiting for our server to stop by. Unfortunately she was too busy watching football at the bar. I had to walk up to get her and tell her our food was cold. She apologized and took it back. Maybe a little more than 5 minutes later she come back with new plates. Unfortunately nothing changed. Everything on the plate was still luke warm. The gravy on the turkey was actually congealed. A sign that it had been sitting out and cooled. Again I pushed the plate to the side. This time I got up to get a manager. The plates got taken back a 2nd time. Then the manager came back and asked if we would like something else instead of the Thanksgiving menu. After a few minutes we decided to try it a 3rd time. Before this, the manager came back to try to explain about the turkey and why it was a little cool. The turkey wasnt the problem, it was everything else that was cold. The manager was even on the verge of being argumentative, saying the the chefs personally prepared the 2nd dish and blah blah blah. A 3rd version of the meal came, personally served by the manager. I was hoping that the 3rd time's a charm. But it was the same thing. A cold meal. And this time my mom's plate didnt have the sweet potatoes. Instead it had this sauerkraut looking type side. Still wasnt sure what it was. My mom barely at anything on her plate. I did finish my meal, only because I was hungry. Needless to say we also didnt see the manager stop by for the rest of the night. Guess he really didnt care if we were happy with our 3rd round.\n\nThe previous reviewer, Ryan R. I wish I would have had your meal. And while my mom was waiting for me to pay the bill she was talking with 2 couples outside who loved their experience. They said everything they had was excellent. Again, I wish I had their meal instead of what we were served.\n\nNow the million dollar question. Would I go back? Probably not. As much as I want to try their BBQ it is a little on the expensive side. I can get a kick-ass BBQ meal at Jack Stacks in KC, MO and pay half the price. If I do return to Pot Liquors, it will be to have a drink at the bar, just to see a cute female asian bartender who is covered in tattoos. Just because I am in to that sort of thing.\n\nWe should have stuck with the reservations at Mimi's. | 01

Came here on black Friday for the first time, was out of top entrees, no excuse for that, the cornbread sucks very very bland, how can u have a bbq place without awesome cornbread???, burger not cooked to order, ordered medium came our well done. Cool looking place but food is not up to true Bbq standards.\n\n maybe will be a better experience next time, if I ever come again but I'm doubting that. Very disappointed in this place, was looking for some great bbq, but did not receive it at all. \n\nBacon on the burger was good tho along with the fries, not so much the entrees though. Mediocre place for what it's talked up to be.\n\n Definitely not a 4 star restaurant. Venue is decorated nice but it does not match the food. \n\nProbably won't be back. Sorry not sorry | 01

Finally some good BBQ in Vegas! We came with the Fam and ordered the Lord Have Mercy which has 1/2 smoked chicken, 6 bones baby back ribs, 6 bones spareribs, Carolina pulled pork, 4 Louisiana hot links. It comes with 3 sides and we added a couple more. I love me some sides. We got Mac N Cheese, Corn Bread, Cabot Grits, Mellowed Candied Yams and Fries w/ Alabama White Sauce. The Lord Have Mercy is a lot of food! The meat and sides were great. There were a few things that while were still good, weren't what I was expecting. I thought the Alabama white sauce was going to be a white BBQ sauce like they have in the south but it seemed like it was just a side of mayo. The Cabot Grits tasted like regular grits, I thought they were going to be cheesy. Not a big deal but I was a little disappointed. Service was good, food took awhile but was worth the wait. They have a great all day happy hour on Tuesdays, 25% off the entire menu and you do not have to sit at the bar! | 12

I only gave this one star because yelp would not let me write with no stars lit. We ordered a drink, an appetizer, and a combo platter for my birthday dinner tonite. The drink and the deviled eggs came out right away and both were great.\n\nAn unusually long time later our platter came out. Brisket, chicken and pulled pork with Mac and cheese and green beans. The presentation was great, with the server explaining each of the three sauces. Everything looked great, until we started eating. Everything was cold. \n\nWe sent the platter back and got platter #2. SAME PROBLEM!!!!! All of the meat was cold, one of the slabs of brisket was a half slice of fat and burnt beef, and all of the sides were smaller portions. \n\nMy wife asked for the manager, who begged us not to leave and allow him to \""make it right\"" and told the waiter to \""take care of this\"" waving his hands around our table. After waiting AGAIN for our meal, we finally got one that was at least hot. At this point we just wanted to leave. But wait, it's not over! After waiting for anther 15 minutes (during which the hostess who had obviously overdone the Xanax that night weirdly offered us more water) THEY BROUGHT THE CHECK !!! And they had the balls to charge full price!!\n\nMy wife paid the check in order to get us the hell out of Satans kitchen, convinced that the producer of whatever hidden camera show we were on would surely arrive and tell us it was all a joke and we had been punked. On the way out, zombie hostess told us to \""get home safe and warm....\""\nPLEASE GO ANYWHERE BUT HERE TO EAT!!!! I can't imagine that this place will be open much longer. | 01

I know I'm a little posting this review. Came here for lunch on vacation (second home from home) in November on 11/20/14. Menu is awesome. Gluten Free Meats and Sides.\n\nOf course I had to try a little bit of my sisters food and fiance's. :)\n\nMy sister had the Fried Green Tomato Salad. First time having Fried Green Tomato and it was really good. My fiance had the Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich. Pork was pretty tasty, piled high. I had the Texas Beef Brisket 8oz with two sides Collard Greens and Macaroni & Cheese. The sides are huge portions. It served all three of us. Brisket was on point. Delicious!!!!!! I would definitely become here again and try something new. | 12

Pot Liquor is a must go if you're near the town center. As a new establishment, Pot Liquor serves some awesome BBQ in a modern environment with an industrial style decor. The service was fast and although the menu was pricey, the food was well worth the money. I ordered the half baby back ribs with macaroni and cheese, potato salad, and their homemade staple cornbread. Phenomenal. I wasn't impressed with their potato salad, and I do not recommend it. However, I do recommend their ribs. The half rack was more than enough and each piece was packed with plenty of delicious meat. I also enjoyed their robust beer list and definitely recommend their Full Sail Amber Ale. To top it off, the General Manager Francis was extremely nice and welcoming. We enjoyed our conversation with him when he personally checked up on us and asked us how our meal was. Overall, I would definitely recommend this up and coming establishment to others. | 12
