Restaurent name is: Antojitos Mexican Restaurant
review: Ugh, not a fan. The place was small and hot. The food was bland and mediocre. Also , we went because we had a certificate .. Which they said we couldn't use because it was Cinco de Mayo , but they weren't doing any specials .. Ummm , what ? I love supporting local businesses, so you will usually find me checking out places like this. I have a had a few "misses" with this place, but mostly, the food has been good. My favorites are the carnitas and the carne asada. All of the salsas, sauces, etc., are homemade, and have unique flavors. The staff I interacted with was very nice and accommodating. great food. ranks up t.here with some of the best mexican restaurants i've been to.\nwill come back 4 sure! I'm from San Diego, Ca and my experience outside southern cali with mexican food is usually a unedible nightmare. First of all the place is immaculate the owner was super ifriendly and welcoming. Food was not the typical baja style taco shop I'm used to but it was unbelievably good. I'm pretty excited since I'm used to mexican food making up about half of my diet. I have only been here once. I should go back, because the food was pretty good. The tacos were decent, but the nachos were amazing. We got some kind of nacho platter with a bunch of topping on it. It was really good. I don't know how the guy stays in business, because I NEVER see anyone in the parking lot. He has been here six years though now, so he's got to be selling something, plus the food is pretty good. | mexican | 12,600 |
Restaurent name is: EJ Sushi
review: I work nearby, and I just found this gem via yelp. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews, the food is extremely fresh and delicious and prices are super reasonable!\n\nThey have all-day specials from $11-14, and they come with a miso soup and salad as well. It's definitely my go-to lunch spot from now on (soooo much better than the other take-out sushi place in the area I won't name). Their cuts are super generous, and the fish are sooooo fresh!\n\nIt's a mom and pop shop, run by an older Korean couple. They are so cute and so nice! They remember me the second time I went, and always has a smile on their faces.\n\nI've only had their sushi so far, but I'm going to try their bento boxes next time :) I truly don't know how this place could have such a high rating. Small, poor quality, old tasting sushi, not to mention a BUG in my friends miso soup. You'd think she would get her meal for free, lol, nope, not even an apology. Checked the window for the green Pass sign and low and behold it was there. I was genuinely concerned afterwards that's might get sick.The rolls were small with stale tempura bits, barely any fish and barely any rice on the outside. Would never go back here. I just ordered takeout sushi from here and it has totally exceeded my expectations. Big pieces of quality salmon, tuna and avocado in the rolls and just a thin layer of rice. The wakame salad is also plentiful and delicious. I can't believe I've lived in this neighbourhood without realizing I had such good sushi just steps away. I will definitely be back. This is a local mom-and-pop sushi spot that's been around for a little over a year. Yes it's next to a boxing gym but that's Toronto for you but who cares? The sushi and sashimi is super fresh, made with care, and the owner is the sweetest! Wasabi is strong and on-point also. I usually get the 32 piece combo and it never disappoints. Don\'t let the aesthetics fool you- this place is great. It\'s in a rougher part of town and the inside isn\'t "nice", but the food is great and reasonably priced. \n\nThe salmon here is always fresh and pinkish vs. the light orange that you get in less-than-fresh sushi joints. The rolls are filled with lots of stuff on the inside with a thin layer of rice- just the way rolls should be. \n\nThe service has always been friendly. Would highly recommend! | japanese | 12,601 |
Restaurent name is: Masamune Japanese Restaurant
review: I loved it... The only reason I can't give 5 stars is like most sushi places they serve Escolar and call it White Tuna which I think the Canadian Food Inspection Agency should be cracking down on more. Google escolar if you don't believe me. \nEither way... Everything else I had there is amazing and it is the best sushi in Mississauga.\nI also want to point out that cheap food is rarely good food. I don't understand why anyone would want cheap raw seafood. Of course AYCE places are cheaper... The sushi is also disgusting. Even if it isn't gross it still isn't as good. \nYou pay for quality and this place was not much more expensive and it was amazing!! I work in the area so I always get take out. On the rare occasions that my order isn't ready when I go to pick up. The staff always offers me a seat by the sushi counter, so I can literally see my order being made with a complementary cup of green tea. \n\nThe rolls are to die for! My favorites are the spicy tuna and caterpillar!! Never had a bad experience and the staff is very friendly. I had dinner here last night. Well the food was okay, and just okay nothing special. The grilled squid was like chewing a tire it was also covered in a brown sauce that well didn't add to the experience. The spicy tuna hand roll became unwrapped as soon as I picked it up. The Sashimi was good but face it as long as you are working with good product it is hard to mess that up. \nThe atmosphere, well again okay strip mall hip, and the service not very engaged or friendly. There is better in the GTA and Mississauga area. Went for dinner. The best part was..SUSHI! Very delicious and super fresh! Big fan:) however they are quite overpriced in my opinion. Might go again for sushi only. First time eating at a Japanese restaurant. Waitress was very nice, smiled, and patient while we ordered. She repeated back the entire order. Food was good and I discovered I like quite a few new foods. \nIf I'm in the area I would eat here again. | japanese | 12,602 |
Restaurent name is: Pun Cao Tong
review: 3.5 stars.\n\nI've learn about Pun Cao Tong from my coworkers who frequent this spot now and then. It is located next to my workplace in Times Square, so it is a good take out spot for me :) The menu is extensive, from the traditional Chinese desserts to snacks, iced drinks, and rice/noodle meal combos.\n\nI have tried the Black Sesame Tong Yuen (Glutinous balls) in sweet ginger soup and they were delicious. This dessert is made to order and it really hits the spot after a nice meal.\n\nI also really enjoyed the Fresh Coconut Pudding was light, creamy and refreshing. On the other hand, the Chrysanthemum Pudding with Dried Logan & Goji was slightly too herbal for my liking.\n\nI always enjoy anything made with ginger... the spicier the better! Hopefully next time I can try their Ginger Tofu... sounds very spicy according to Marcia W. I am also very intrigued to try their steamed rice with ginger slices. Ginger always helps whenever I'm feeling under the weather.\n\nI will definitely be ordering again :) Pun Cao Tong serves up various bubble tea like desserts and iced drinks. There has to be at least 50-80 items on their menu and settling one or two yummies can be a challenge. I decided on the mango "soup" and an iced lychee drink. The mango dessert came with mango, tapioca balls, and shaved ice. The lychee drink was in a fountain glass with ice and lychee syrup. Both were quite sweet and amazingly refreshing on a May Sunday with the mercury topping 26c.\n\nSeating is on low slung stools, ensuring you don\'t get too comfy. As the Boston poster (Go Bruins!) below noted, there\'s a flat screen on the wall showing some kind of Chinese drama.\n\nAnyway, major points for the variety and the novelty. Parking is tight as its in the Time Square "Mall" complex. The desserts were quite good, the menu was easy to read and mostly clear on the ingredients (except the "baked" chicken wings came out steamed) and the atmosphere is cozy. As expected from a Chinese herbal tea house. We were seated and served water with the menu promptly. I guess my main concern would be the service level - the employees were responsive and didn\'t offer much more enthusiasm than that. In particular, when it was time to pay, the server asked how we were going to pay for tips. the delivery and tone was a little uncalled for. I would recommend to visit for the desserts but the lasting impression I have of the experience doesn\'t make me feel like going back. Tasted mediocre, on top of that they forgot half our order. If you're really craving asian desserts, it will do. I had the durian coconut milk sago and it was for sure a thumbs up! BUT, the service there was TERRIBLE. | chinese | 12,603 |
Restaurent name is: Ti-Ki Ming
review: The thing that frustrates me about you Tiki-Ming, is that there is more than one of you; it doesn't make sense. I had the lemon chicken and fried rice with spring roll special. I got fresh rice, loads of chicken and I thought it was gonna be legendary. I wish it tasted bad but it had no flavor AT ALL. I gave up on the rice and chicken; twas, too disappointing.. Oh and there was so much blubbery FAT and cartilage in the chicken! So disturbing! I bit into the spring roll, and i knew immediately that this place did not give a fudge. I bought an overpriced food with the lowest quality. The pork was not chewable at all. There was no lineup compared to other takeouts next to them, so that should have been a clue.\n\nI can't eat the pork at all, and left with noodles to eat for lunch. Good lord. SO surprisingly delicious!! \n\nSo this place is like a Food court type of setup. Went around 4pm on a Friday and ordered #7 Cantonese chow mein. They make it right in front of you! \n\nPiping Hot, fresh ingredients, incredibly tasty, crispy noodles -- it sounds ridiculous but the Taste was comparable to a high end Chinese Restaurant. I asked them to make it spicy and add beef. I also got a spring roll and a Pepsi. Came to like $18 which is very high for a food court meal.\n\nBut the taste and quality was so good, it crushes normal Chinese fast food like Manchu Wok. \n\nWill absolutely return. This place is pretty foul...limited food in the inserts. Some of it looks days old. I ate it and was running to the toilet not long after... If you need your MSG fix, it does the job. Even though it was disgusting, I'll probably end up there again. Reviewing fast food counters always feels a bit redundant to me as if it's bad, then the obvious answer is 'it's fast food in a food court, what do you expect?' But if it's good it just gets interpreted as 'it's good enough'. In reviewing Tiki-Ming, I'd say that it fits the latter. \n\nThe food court it's in is exceptionally clean. That's a rarity and while Tiki has nothing to do with that, it's appreciated. \n\nThe food is pretty good. It's food court, but if you go between 12-1:30, it's at its freshest and some of the non fried options are actually fairly tasty (see: Salt and pepper beef, chicken). \n\nStaff is pretty friendly and they will offer you samples if you're trying to decide what to get.\n\nThe chow Mein noodles are boring but for some reason I really like them. Don't know what that says about me \n\nThree items: $10. Not bad! | chinese | 12,604 |
Restaurent name is: Pita Kabab Grill
review: It's hard to believe these 5 star reviews. This place isn't terrible, but it is definitely average. There was so much wrong!\n\nDecor: Downright depressing. Our large party was seated in a far off room with absolutely no decor and silverware wrapped in paper napkins. I felt like we'd traveled back in time and were sitting at the kids' table. \n\nService: fine during dinner but when we got the check...whoa! I'll get to that later. \n\nFood: \nFalafel-dry, dense, and bland. A boxed version prepared at home is much better\nStuffed grape leaves-passable but quite *meh*\nBeef kabob-dry and tough. Took my dog 20 minutes to gnaw on a piece at home-no joke\nChicken kabob-flavorful but dry\nShrimp kabob-in a lemon garlic sauce that didn't taste like lemon OR garlic. Also, the shrimp was drenched in it. \nVeggies with the kabobs-mushy\n Kibbeh(my absolute favorite food)-dry, dry, dry\nTabouleh-not enough lemon or tomatoes or salt or oil. Basically chopped parsley with a minuscule amount of bulgur. Tabouleh is one of the easiest things to get right yet somehow it was all wrong. \nKufte kebab-if you choose to go, order this. The meat was flavorful and juicy. The only star of the night. \n\nPortions are large and come with soup or salad and rice or fries. Prices are fair. \n\nDrinks:\nWe ordered 2 glasses of Merlot. We received them ice cold in small glasses which had 1/4 pour in them. The pour was closer to a wine tasting, than an actual glass of wine. \n\nSCAM ALERT:\nWe had ordered 2 kids meals (which come with a drink). The check came and we were charged for those sodas. We then noticed that 2 small glasses of wine had been charged ($5.99. ea), voided out and then added as 2 large glasses of wine for $8.99 ea. What???!!! $8.99 for a small glass filled a fourth of the way with cheap, chilled merlot? \n\nThey just started serving wine and the waiter didn't know what they had and there was no wine list. Unacceptable. The owner needs to list the wines and prices for the waiter until they get their sh*t together and provide a wine list. We, of course, brought all this to the attention of our waiter. \nHe claimed only fruit punch is free with kids meals. He also said that the merlot in particular is the same price for a small or large glass. Just the merlot. Okaaaayyy. He adjusted the bill. \n\nA 20% gratuity was added automatically. Didn't see that mentioned on the menu but to be fair, I wasn't looking for it. So make sure you check before tipping. As a matter of fact, scrutinize every single item on the check. Between the extra 20% we almost added, the $4 for the sodas, the $6 for the supposed large wines, we almost overpayed by $50. Gave this place a try on a Saturday at 6:00. There were 4 of us and a toddler and we were able to be seated right away. 3 of us had the beef kabobs and one had the chicken. Entrees come with a salad which was pretty good but maybe a little to much parsley. The in-house made pita they bring you is excellent and paired with the hummus was fantastic. Hummus was out of this world. \n\nThe beef kabobs were sooooo good. You have a choice of sides, I picked the rice, also comes with some grilled vegetables. It's a decent amount of food and definitely worth the price. I didn't try the chicken but I was told it was good, she had enough to bring some home. \n\nIf you like the other Mediterranean place not far away from this one you should without a doubt give Pita Kabob a try. Apparently the old chef from that place split and opened Pita Kabob which would explain why the food is so very similar. \n\nThe only issue we had was that the baby needed changing and the restrooms don't have a changing table. Changing a baby in a car that's been sitting in the NC June sun isn't ideal. \n\nOther than that this place has a new regular customer- it's excellent! My favorite restaurant ever!! I always order the Fatoush salad with half chicken half lamb shawarma and eat it with pita bread. Cost only $10 and have left overs for days! highly recommend this place. So glad I found this place. Great food, huge servings ( almost too much), priced right and friendly staff . I stopped in and ordered a to-go order, which took a bit longer than I anticipated: 20 mins from time I paid until I was leaving with it. Major kudos to them for the perfectly packed to-go order!!!!\nWanting to sample several items, I ordered Fattoush salad w/beef shawarma, Cabbage salad, and Foul Mudammas. Since some restaurants typically add more dressing than I care for, I've learned to request it on the side. All of this came with pita bread, and again - was perfectly packed. \nFattoush w/beef shawarma was tasty, but only while the beef was still warm. Lesson learned: either share that salad, or order with chicken. A leftover salad with cold beef isn't exactly good. \nTheir cabbage salad with tomatoes isn't what I expected. The purple and green cabbage wasn't shredded thin (like a certain Greek restaurant does) but rather thicker shreds. Also,a few pieces of the core had slipped in there. The dressing for it was good, though. \nMy favorite was the Foul Mudammas, which was excellent. \nOh, I'm going back - but this time it will be for their Greek salad with chicken. | mediterranean | 12,605 |
Restaurent name is: Prankster's Too
review: First time here. Absolutely loving the wings! I'm out here celebrating my little girl's 21st birthday. Watching her play volleyball and eating potato skins and wings. Great outdoor bar and excellent service\nReally good place to spend a Friday night. I highly recommend!! This place is a dump. The broken. Out of everything. The unprofessionalism, the fact the staff didn't care to help, staff chasing staff out of the building, and the waitress specifically, was a shame. Waiting for 40 minutes for food. This bar could use a bar rescue. I dare the guy who runs this place to go to yucca tap room and order their nachos. What they have versus this place...well... 3 bars in one! Outside bar with volleyball courts right on the Greenbelt! Open to the public and they have a full bar and full menu for food! Sports bar with tons of TVs! JESTER ROOM has live music 6 days a week, full bar and menu; kitchen open until 1:40am! Happy hour Sunday-Thurs 10pm-close on drinks and appys!\nIn the Jester Room:\nMon- Hans Olson 7pm-12am\nTue- Karaoke 6pm-2am\nWed- Acoustic Jam with Chuck E. Baby 8pm-2am\nThurs- changes weekly\nFri- Ronnie Glover and Trio Rio 6:30pm-10pm followed by a band or musical act; changes weekly\nSat- Changes weekly\nSun- Sunday Menagerie Jam with Chuck E. Baby and the Allstars; all musician welcomed- bring an instrument, a friend and appetite! 9pm-2am Local bar does good to Scottsdale man. Cheap drinks, GREAT CHEAP FOOD. AMAZING SERVICE!!! Let me repeat.... AMAZING SERVICE. I feel like I am at home when I go here. The waitress and bartender know me by name (maybe I shouldn't brag about that)\n\nI go here some Mondays and alot of Thursday's to play a round of free Texas Hold 'em Poker hosted by Pioneer Poker. It's a great way to meet people and play some cards without being under the pressure of gambling. Try it out sometime.\n\nAlso the stage is pretty good. They have a good blues man who plays traditional blues on Thursday nights. I saw a comedy show here once too and it was decent. At least is was something new. Decent food good service. They have two volleyball courts and a large patio. I really enjoy the fried zucchini. | american (traditional) | 12,606 |
Restaurent name is: El Campesino
review: We love this local Mexican place for lunch! The "speedy Gonzales" selection of an enchilada, taco and rice or beans is a delicious and very affordable choice! It\'s always very good quality of fresh food! \n\nEvery visit ensures great, attentive service and the indoor restaurant\'s colorful decor and cleanliness offers a warm, wonderful, inviting atmosphere, not to be beat!\n\nPatronize and enjoy this delight! Worst mexican food in whole of Monroeville. Been there twice and the food was cold and the plate it came in was smoking hot! Neither it tasted any good. Drinks were fine 2 stars for that only and the cleanliness Great Mexican food every time we have been here! I usually get the enchiladas but today I got the tacos meal with rice. It's always consistent and one of my favorite Mexican restaurants! I will definitely be back again. TASTIER THAN ALOT OF PLACES I'VE TRIED IN NEW MEXICO!\n\n\nDon't bother with Mad Mex. If you what some tasty cheap eats served hot and fast go here! The place serves familiar Tex Mex and also some delicious traditional fair. \n\nMenu Fav: Fajita Quesadilla There is no good or authentic Mexican food in Pittsburgh that I have found so far, but this is terrible. There are several other "authentic" Mexican restaurants in Pittsburgh that are at least edible.\n\nHaving lived in California and eaten at many Mexican restaurants throughout the West where they have extremely large populations of Mexicans, nothing here is even close. My wife won\'t even let us go to a Mexican restaurant here because they are all bad.\n\nObjectively though, the food was poorly prepared, flavorless, and they put what tasted like packaged brown gravy mix all over my food, yuck!!! If you are going to eat Mexican in Pittsburgh, the very best by far is Iguana Grill on the South Side. | mexican | 12,607 |
Restaurent name is: Carl's Jr
review: Some employees speak such bad English that you can't get your order right using the terrible drive thru speaker system. \nIF you walk to the counter and speak to someone, chances are better but still not great they won't mess up your order. \n\nBroken toilets with pee sitting in it adorned by incorrectly spelled apology; \n\nBroken menu display lighting; \n\nDoor to chaotic office propped open. \n\nWe still go there simply because we like Carl's Jr burgers best. But this location is embarrassment for the brand. We will probably never go again. It seemed to take forever in the drive thru, but by the time we decided to leave we were blocked in. 45 mins later we got our food, no ice available for the drink and they charged our card twice. Unreal. The worst location I\'ve been to and I\'ve been to around ten different ones. We waited a long time for the food which I would\'ve been okay with if it was properly cooked and put together. The bacon was so pink, the burger was very grey. My wife\'s chicken sandwich was very under cooked. We were hoping her chicken was already pre-cooked, had it been "fresh" it would have not been safe to eat. Staff very unorganized. We will not be going back to this location. I was waiting in line for F##king 20 mins or more for a simple damn meal two Spicy sandwich and a damn small Dr Pepper SMH that was ridiculous didn't even get it was fed up had to wait for the damn line to move to just leave. Never coming to this place ever again. Worst place. These people can't never get my order right. On one occasion, I ordered a number 4 combo and I clearly told them I wanted the cheeseburger plain (just the meat and cheese and the receipt also said plain). Well, they gave me the cheeseburger with onion rings and sauce on it. Then, I had to drive back to the restaurant (I did not find out after getting back home) to get my order right. After they supposedly fixed the problem and after checking the burger before leaving, I discovered that they had either given me back the same burger or made the same mistake again. Today, I went in for the same order and guess what? Yes, they had once again put sauce and onion rings after I told them I wanted a plain cheeseburger. The girls at the window kept laughing and acting as though it was funny to mess up costumers' orders. I go to this place for my son, but I think the service is terrible. I also think it is very expensive. A number 4 combo (just a cheese burger, fries and a drink) is 11 dollars! I told my son I will not be coming back to this place. | mexican | 12,608 |
Restaurent name is: Bellacino's Pizza & Grinders
review: Well, I got my food. It was pretty tasty, but the attitudes were still piss poor when I picked it up. I guess I'd still return, but only on a day that I know I wouldn't freak out on someone for poor customer service and bad attitudes. Bellacino\'s is in a great location and probably looked great when it first opened 10 or so years ago. Unfortunately when we ate lunch there on Thursday I was waiting for Robert Irvine and his "Restaurant Impossible" team to storm in and announce that they were going to make the place over; but it didn\'t happen. Carpet looked dirty, everything looked worn, and the bathroom (with single uncovered fluorescent light bulb) smelled like pee, much like being at a gas station.\n\nYou order your food at the back counter in full view of the (very large) kitchen which looks dingy with burnt out light bulbs. Menus are stacked on pile next to cash register; a menu board before you get to the register would be a nice addition. Lunch for two with Cokes was about $20.\n\nWife had the Calazone which was ok if somewhat greasy and crust was flat. My Buffalo Chicken sandwich was bland with chicken that tasted like it had been thawed and warmed; no hint of grilling or toasting. Bread was good but chicken and sauce tasted institutional. \n\nWith a little sprucing up and fresher ingredients Bellacino\'s would be a great place; until then there are better places with better food at better prices. I grew up eating here, and when I'm in town, I still stop in for a Grinder! Delicious and fresh! -first time eating there. " dead " customer service.\n- food took forever and it was of bland quality.\n- the " cook" making the food was not wearing gloves. had a poor attitude.\n- cashier ( although nice) had a " i\'m done" look on her face and did not give good customer service\n-ive been in the restaurant industry for over 10 years both fine dining & casual. i\'ve never met such an unmotivated group of people in my life. Ok well I just placed a Togo order with them and hung up, but then realized after I hung up the price they told me seemed high so I called back. They told me how much the items were that I ordered and I told them I wanted to cancel the second item then because all of their online menu prices listed were wrong, and I didn\'t want to spend $20 on lunch for MYSELF. Let it be known I called back within 30 seconds of hanging up........when I told the guy on the phone I wanted to cancel the second item because their prices were wrong, he said, "well, we already started making them (wings) so we really appreciate that, we\'ll have your pasta ready when you get here". I thought this was fairly rude to say to a customer since they were wrong with their pricing, but I still said, "ok thank you very much", and he just hung up, no goodbye, no you\'re welcome, nothing, just hung up. Hopefully they didn\'t slam a loogie in my food, guess ill find out when I get there and speak with managment. RUDE. | italian | 12,609 |
Restaurent name is: Shake Shack
review: I am so thrilled to have a Shake Shack close to my home here in Henderson. Everybody knows these burgers are delicious, but what you may not know is that they have an incredible fresh baked buttered and toasted gluten free bun which is one of the best I have ever had! Also they have one of the best apps for pre ordering I have used. Makes order and pick up so easy and you get coupons emailed for great discounts and freebies!:) The Henderson location is always clean and the staff is very friendly. This is like Burger King food broke !!! Run disgusting they don't even have condemns how do they even survive ? This place is wicked Ill will never eat there again! I'm still sick at the prices they charge for a BK burger yuk ! I still can't get it out my mouth Good food. Good price. Friendly employees. Clean bathroom. Overall good place to go we will come back. Just like the one in NYC...just slower. They have shuffle puck and foos ball. Messed up my order but are fixing it right now.\n\nChicken was burnt. Really disappointed. Very pricey for what you get! My family of 4 got lunch there on Sunday. My daughter got the chicken sandwich and did like that. My husband and I both got burgers and one of them with the peppers and bacon. We both felt liked they lacked flavor. Very bland and patties are real small and thin for a $7 burger. My son who would only eat the fries didn't even finish his. The fries for the most part were good however we all had a couple raw nasty ones in each of our baskets. Then the shakes...the chocolate was so overwhelming strong it wasn't good. The black and white was good but again pretty high priced for what you get.\nHave to say - many other places with much better tasting burgers and even better prices. I don't mind paying a bit more if the food is worth it and in my opinion - Shake Shack is not. | american (new) | 12,610 |
Restaurent name is: Mom's Place
review: Food is good, nice portions for the price, just like an old time restaurant (without the looks) where they talk loud amongst each other. Service could be better and faster though considering it wasn't very busy when i went. Good breakfast in the hood, only other place around here is either Denny's or McDonald's a&w. food came out quick. service was real friendly. good spot I was starting to like my breakfast basted eggs and bacon, with multigrain toast! Potatoes were burnt but added flavour! As I was enjoying my dark yolk eggs, eeek a hair!! I got a new breakfast but totally turned off now! I really liked it here! Servers are nice and wonderful, but I can't get past the hair!! Shouldn't they wear hair nets??\nReplacement breakfast was good, I ate it, but the dilemma I now have is should they charge me?? Should I tip?? I enjoyed the service but ticked at finding hair!! I want to come back. Would you??? Like the coffee, like food. Really good food for the price, and you can tell this is real food, prepared on the spot; nothing here is prepared out of a plastic bag like most big name restaurants do these days.\n\nFeels like a classic diner with a bit more class. The waitress and cook came from a classic diner in fact, Bev and Donna are originally from the Blackfoot, which is so old it's a heritage building.\n\nI was impressed, I will be back again, and again! Friendly diner. Went for lunch, had a cheeseburger. Will go back and try some other things. Good service | american (traditional) | 12,611 |
Restaurent name is: Wrap & Roll
review: Unfortunately all the reviews are true. The owner is a crook. He tried to charge me $70 for one bowl of shisha. When I challenged him about the price he cycled through a bunch of excuses and nervously typed away at the register before coming to a price of $45. He then lowered it to $30. He asked me for my credit card but wouldn't show me the terminal to see how much he was trying to charge me. I eventually threw $30 on the counter and left. \n\nThe owner must have a psychological problem. I've lived in Toronto my whole life and I've never experienced someone trying to blatantly rip me off like this. Its sad that he's been getting away with this for years now.\n\n If you are in the area and are looking for shisha walk a couple of blocks north to Shishawarma. \n\nThe place is filthy and is always empty. Now I know why... *********NOTES:\n\nPLEASE READ THE FILTERED REVEIWS. ITS ALL CORRECT. \n\nAlso, notice how all the five star reveiws for this place are from people who have no pictures and have only reviewed one place..fishy yes? ******\n\n\n\nI hate writing bad reviews, but I have to.\n\nI came here to pick up some Shawarma\'s in an emergency for my family.\n\nI asked before I ordered if I could get a deal on 4 shawarmas\', and the guy\'s response : "Sure, I give you good price!"\n\nOkay, so I went ahead and I ordered : 2 Chicken and 2 Beef Shawarma\'s.\n\nThe process was fine. He mad overstuffed the shawarmas to the point where I swear they each weighed over a pound. Fine.\n\nThe beef was terrible. It was old and dried out and disgusting.\n\nThe chicken was delicious though.\n\nBut my main qualm : The price.\n\nIt clearly stated on the boards (they have those coca cola menu set up with combo prices) that two shawarma\'s + a can of coke is 9.99.\n\nHe charged me 9.99 EACH per Shawarma.\n\nMy bill came upto to over 40 dollars.\n\n40 freaking dollars for Shawarma? NO WAY.\n\nIt was ridiculous. I asked him, .."but the board says 9.99 for two?"\n\nHe said "Lunch only"\n\nNo where on the sign did it say that the price was applicable for lunch only.\n\nIn fact, it was the only area that the price for a shawarma was posted.\n\nAlso, a plate was listed as 7.99. How the hell is a shawarma 2 dollars more than a plate?\n\nOh god, I felt completely ripped off.\n\nAnd my mom yelled at me for spending so much! $49 for 1 shisha???\n__________________\n\nA friend and I went into Wrap and Roll for a medium shisha (mint) and I ordered a pop. The guy was quiet but nice. He sat in the back watching tv the whole time though, and never asked us how we were doing. \n\nOur medium shisha and one pop came up to $49 !!!!!! We complained, but the guy did nothing.\n\nPLUS we saw a mouse running around inside where we were sitting. \n\nNeedless to say, I won't be returning. This place is terrible.\n\nThe owner won't give shisha prices over the phone. He doesn't have prices on display in the restaurant. When I asked for Al-Fakher tobacco, he went into the back and returned with unlabeled shisha in a tupperware container. He initially asked for $70 and when I protested he pretended to have entered the price wrong, and changed it to $60. However for the same amount of sheesha anywhere else (name brand), it's usually $35. \n\nOnce before, a sheesha and drink came to nearly $30.\n\nThis place is definitely not recommended. This owner is a crook - I am filing a police complaint. Do not go there. Left my credit card there by mistake - next day I was charged $100 here. They manually overrode my credit card so, there would be no need to type in my pin. Filed a complaint with the fraud dept of my credit card company and the police. | mediterranean | 12,612 |
Restaurent name is: Sakura Sushi
review: I used to go to Sakura all the time when I went to high school close by and I have to say, I used to love it. It's perfect for a student budget and there's something nice about walking in, taking a seat, and having the staff bring your drinks to you because they already know what you want. Sometimes they'd forget to bring out something that we ordered, but there's no hassle in just letting them know. I've been to AYCE sushi restaurants before that bring back your order sheet and argue with you when you do this but Sakura is totally cool with it. They also don't ever kick you out if you've been there for 'too long' which is also awesome. I once sat there with friends for three hours (eating the whole time) and their service was good the whole time. Yes, there are better sushi places out there but you get what you pay for. Went to the door to ask how much their dinner was:\n\nMe: "Hello, how much is dinner?"\nLady: (rude voice) "How many people?"\nMe: "3 people"\nLady: "We can\'t serve you now, last call 9:30"\n\n\nIt was 8:35pm So far had good experiences here ..good lunch special and a lot of options on the all you can eat menu...I agree with the reviews below about the tempura batter and fake scallop issues but otherwise pretty good food **shudders**\n\nI was in the third circle of hell a couple days ago. I was forced to come up to the middle of nowhere for sushi because my friend wanted me to meet her boyfriend. As I sat there suffering, I casted silent judgment on the guy who thought a sushi restaurant should:\n\n1) serve sushi with ketchup or overly sweetened sauce,\n2) have spring rolls (aka egg rolls in American English -- those Canadians!)\n3) give you FAKE crab meat being sold as scallops\n4) have mediocre sushi at best (even the rolls where you can dress up with various stuff were terribly bland)\n5) makes up the worst stuff for uneducated North American taste buds, like Japanese hash browns (deep fried hash browns with creamed corn in the center)\n\nAnd for all these reasons, that guy thought this was the best sushi restaurant in the world. I realized that I could never date anyone with bad taste in food. It's just pure torture. \n\nThe service I had was great. The servers were really nice and I felt so bad for them having to give us this terrible stuff. I would be embarrassed. For the service I give them two stars. I've been here every once in awhile and what I can say about them is their food is CONSISTENT. It's like I am seeing the same replicate a few months after. \n\nWith this noted, this is a good place within the Maple area for AYCE because it has better value than the up & comers as I usually leave after lunch feeling just under $15 lighter which includes the tips already.\n\nThe benefit of the smaller selection menu and the English menu is that your non-asian FRIENDS and co-workers won't have to THINK too hard on their lunch break trying to decipher the names of the food or waste valuable lunch break time choosing one item over another.\n\nDuring weekday lunch, it usually is about 25% capacity at any one time with my guess that they can accomodate 60+ at most. The decor is nothing to be impress about as theres probably more to look at on your watch than the decor.\n\nThe Chinese wait staff do make an attempt to be FRIENDLY and they even accomodated us doing separate bills when we had approx. group of 8, which you can imagine can take awhile to ring up. | japanese | 12,613 |
Restaurent name is: Bao Bao Dim Sum
review: Good for buns and bamboo sticky rice. Fair price.\n\nForget the waffle ice cream that is disgusting. Their bao is OK. I think what gives this place hype is the cute characters they make for their bao. \n\nGood for pictures, not very good if you're looking for something that will be fulfilling. Cutest little dessert buns, literally so precious that i don't want to bite into them. I'm a huge carbs person so its no surprise that i love steamed and baked asian buns. \n\n It's a great place for picking up that saturday afternoon snack before dinner. I don't see how you could go wrong with $1.50. Silly, playful buns will draw you when you see them lined up in the window.\n\nThe pork buns were decent - sweeter than I prefer, but good.\n\nThe dessert buns were hit and miss. We tried a few of them, with the chocolate ones winning over the fruit.\n\nWould like some of the bun designs to have different flavorings, but alas, that\'s how they sell them. Ie. I wanted to eat the "red angry birds" one, but didn\'t want the strawberry filling.\n\nNot the best bun you\'ll find in this Chinatown, but still, a fun place to grab a bun for the road. It hits the spot I'd you are hard up on getting a steamed bun. I had the melted custard one and it was not melted enough, but flavor WAS good. The pork with preserved veggies was just OK. I thought the ratio of bun to filling was only a little heavy on the bun. \n\nProbably won't return. | chinese | 12,614 |
Restaurent name is: Chipotle Mexican Grill
review: First time here: we ordered chicken tacos, steak burrito & a steak/chicken bowl. Overall the meat is spicy.. It was fine for some of us but not all. The place was clean and the employees were fine. \n\nChicken tacos were okay at best. There was plenty of sour cream and cheese but not a lot of chicken (ex: one of my tacos had like 2 bites of chicken).\n\nSteak burrito: good overall. Only problem is that half the burrito is rice & lettuce and on the other side is all of the beans & steak.. So half the burrito is a waste. Next time would order just a bowl to get all of the toppings together.\n\nSteak/chicken bowl: much better option than the burrito. Tasted good. "Pretty hard to mess up."\n\nChips are REALLY yummy. I love the salt and lime. I would go back just for the chips.\n\nTotal for 6 chicken tacos, 1 burrito, 1 bowl, 3 bags of chips & 2 drinks: $39. There is one really nice cashier that works here, however the rest weren\'t very nice tonight. A few friends and I came into the restaurant 30 minutes before closing, and they were cleaning up already. We ventured inside, but we should\'ve turned back as soon as we saw the employees giving us the dirtiest looks. We apologized for coming in so "late" and she gave the shadiest smile, and proceeded to DUMP our food onto our tortillas and bowls. The cashier was also shady, but she wasn\'t as bad. Then they give us looks and giggle throughout our whole stay. They\'re rude. Sorry for being an inconvenience, even though it\'s still operating hours. This place is ok. I prefer a little more variety when making Mexican the what you get here. I waited for 25 minutes tonight to take food home for dinner. It was hit but the taste just wasn't there. I don't think I've ever had such a bland guac until tonight. I prefer Moes any day is the week. Plus GMO food sucks when you have allergies! The dining room is a bit small for the size of the lunch crowd here but it's what one expects from a Chipotle. The staff was pretty quick to clean up tables but most of the people who are coming at peak hours should expect to do a quick brush off of the table when they sit down to clean up the prior patron's crumbs. If you are what you eat - then call me a steak burrito! I would eat here all the time if my wallet and waist could afford it. It's never too busy to stop in for a quick lunch and outside seating is available (although right along busy McKnightmare Road). I definitely prefer Chipotle over the Qdoba that is directly across the road from where they built this location. \n\nTry the hot sauce. | mexican | 12,615 |
Restaurent name is: Taiyaki NYC - Toronto
review: I passed by this place and there was a sign displayed that they are having a soft opening. I decided to check it out so I get an early sneak peak before the rush. The taiyaki fish caught my eye and the staff recommended it with matcha and black sesame ice cream. The fish was freshly made and the ice cream didn't melt as I though it would.\n\nThere was not a rush but I later found out that there was a promo during the weekend. The location is perfect inside Little Tokyo and near Dundas Square and other Japanese delights. Definitely, a place to return as I would like to try out their drinks next time. I'm so excited that Taiyaki NYC is opening in Toronto as I have seen photos of their taiyaki soft serve ice creams and I couldn't wait to try it. \n\nFor their signature taiyaki cone with soft serve, you get either choose from their various designs or opt to build your own. During my visit, I got the unicorn with matcha ice cream and red bean filling ($8). The soft serve was really smooth with a distinct matcha flavour that I liked and the taiyaki was fluffy and warm. \n\nI also got the taro slushie with the unicorn floatie ($10) and it was the cutest thing ever. Definitely Instagram worthy! I get that the floatie was just a gimmick and you're essentially paying $4 to get it, but it was so cute and looked so good in photos that I just gotta get it. I even carried it with me on the TTC on my way home lol. \n\nOther than the delicious treats, the ambiance of the restaurant at the back was also magical. They have a massive flower wall in pink for the customers to take photos and pose with their sugary treats. In my opinion, the flower wall definitely gave Taiyaki NYC some bonus points as it made the dining experience special. \n\nDuring my visit, I also got the chat with the co-founder of Taiyaki-NYC as well, and he seemed to be a friendly guy who's really passionate at making his food and engaging with his customers. It was a pleasure to chat with him.\n\nI would definitely recommend people to try out Taiyaki-NYC for their taiyaki cones and take lots of photos!\n\nJust a note: I think the taiyaki cone is a bit too hot which leads to the ice cream melting too quickly. They should let them cool down more before they add the soft serve ice cream and serve it to the customer. Food: Tried the Classic (vanilla soft serve) and mango sorbet in a taiyaki. The vanilla ice cream was good and the mango sorbet had a hint of sour. I personally preferred the vanilla over the mango. My friend who loves mango enjoyed it very much. When eating be cautious of the ice cream leaning to one side. The taiyaki pocket/cone was tasty, warm and soft with a ball of filling near the bottom. Both the custard and red bean filling were a nice end to the treat. \n\nService & atmosphere: The staff are enthusiastic and helpful when I asked questions. Transparent behind-the-counter let's you see your treat being prepared. The shop definitely caters to anyone that wants to take photos of their treats with a neon phrase (what a catch), a decorative flower wall, and designated walls with lighting. \n\nPrice: I found the price to be high, would consider this a treat that I would get on occasion. Great desserts place. Small area, but the staff is very friendly, fast, and efficient when it comes to taking orders. Despite the cold weathers, the tasty ice cream with the unique fish shaped cone makes this a great place for desserts. WHAT TO TRY?!?\n\nThe taiyaki ice cream of course!! \n\nThey have a variety of ice cream flavors and toppings available so it's a mix match of what you want to create your very own taiyaki ice cream sundae! \n\nWhen I went, they ran out of some of the flavors though :( so be prepared that some of the ice cream flavors may not be there when you go. When I went they didn't have the matcha black sesame twist, the black sesame soft serve or the vanilla with custard twist. They only had mango, chocolate, vanilla or matcha flavor :(\n\nIt's really cool though. Even the fish itself has filling at the bottom - either red bean or custard! Yam yam! There's a variety of toppings to choose from from graham crumbs to mochi skewer to wafer stick to sprinkles to name a few. Then you also get to choose the drizzle you want on your ice cream. Can be chocolate, condensed milk, strawberry or caramel. Ice cream generally was the typical soft serve ice cream except for mango. It tasted more like a sorbet. \n\nIf you're not feeling ice cream, you can also order their slushie drink or matcha drinks. If you order the taro slush, you can opt to also get the unicorn floatie too for an additional cost. Really cute and the drink reminds me of bubble tea but in a slushie texture. The drinks in general were good too. \n\nMight I add, after buying the drinks, you can go take your Instagram worthy pictures on the Instagram walls set up in the back. Lots of opportunities to take good pictures of your drink, your taiyaki or you and your taiyaki! A wall that's filled with pink roses is on one side and a wall with different coloured lamps and spotlights is on the other side. Really cute shop to draw the millennials in!\n\nLAST TIP?! \n\nOn weekends this place gets packed, so come on a weeknight because it won't be as busy. I personally prefer the soft serve ice creams because of the creamy textures but don't be deterred away from the mango if you really love mango flavoured ice cream! | japanese | 12,616 |
Restaurent name is: Wine Brew and More
review: If you're looking for Budweiser, this ain't your place. Great selection of craft brews, both to-go and on tap. Wines to suit any taste. Small but effective bar menu, with homemade stromboli. Wine, beer, bourbon or scotch at the bar, and quite possibly the best barstools ever. You can't go wrong with this shop. The service couldn't be better and the beer and wine selection is diversified without being overwhelming. Will definitely return. Nice guys own this bar & its a nice casual place to stop for a drink or watch a local game with an intimate crowd. They have a great variety of wine and beer and some liquor. They also donated a big basket to a local charity event called jingle bell rock. If you're looking for a nice, intimate but friendly and clean place to watch a game, give this place a try! Wine Brew and More! A must stop, not only beer and wine but Top shelf Liquors and fantastic top end sandwiches! Parma Press was awesome! I will be back! Great concept. Small bar with good beers on tap. Beer selection is not that extensive. However, that's not the point. I was in the area and stopped by to get some seasonal Fat Heads 4-packs (hop stalker), rang it up and noticed it was higher than normal. It was $1 more than state minimum. Spending $12.99 is high enough on a 4 pack and then adding $1 to it doesn't help. I left them on the counter and went to Giant Eagle across the street where the price is correct. It's hard to support a local beverage store when you have them inflate the price. I go to some awesome beverages shops in Lakewood and there's 10x more to choose from and the price is the state minimum. If they continue to do this, they will not make it. | italian | 12,617 |
Restaurent name is: O'Charley's Restaurant & Bar
review: Sadly some information missing from this sign. Like it's not good the day you sign up. So you get stuck paying for you appetizer. The manager here and the wait staff are incredible! They did the absolute most to make sure we were happy and satisfied! We'll all definitely be coming back here. I've always had great service at this location. I've gotten to go orders as well as dining in. We always get the prime rib when we come here. It's cooked perfectly and we always get it medium rare. Fridays they usually have clam chowder soup and that's what I always get when I'm here that night. Soup is so good. It's thick and white based and has just the right amount of potatoes and clams. We also love their fried mozzarella pepperjack triangles. It's great with their spicy robust marinara sauce. You also can't go wrong with their chicken tenders and their ranch dressing is on point! \n\nIf you sign up for coupons you will also get a good bit of 20% off coupons. Wow just walked into Ol Charley's. FIRST there was no Greeter we waited looked around , then headed to the bar. SECOND the bar itself was DIRTY had not been cleaned and I waited for about 5 minutes and NO NO NO Bartender ( I could have gone behind the bar and made my own drink). So, apparently after staying away 3 years because of bad service and sub par food has NOT improved. When I tell you I will not be back, I mean it. I thought it would have improved and I felt they needed a 2nd chance. There will not be a 3rd and if i could give a minus 5 stars I would. Several in my party ordered steaks some 6oz and 2 9oz. All came out with 6oz steaks and the manager states "trust" me it\'s 9oz. Never asking if I wanted something else and stated she couldn\'t cook me another because it will come out the same. THE WORST RESTAURANT EXPERIENCE I\'ve had. Horrible customer service. | american (traditional) | 12,618 |
Restaurent name is: Fat Tuesday
review: Do ppl come here to have fun? Or just have a stupor? There is a very fine line between these two, case in point, two friends sitting in the bar drinking the whatever the hip drinks they ordered, chatting and enjoying at each other's jokes, then all of a sudden, one burst into this long uncontrollable laughter, peppered with slurred incoherent speech, with that lotto winner elation in her gaze, O_O , second later she started humming a melancholy 80's tune. I know at this point, my dear friend had crossed the thin line between sanity and dangerous cloud nine. It's time for the responsible one (me) to take her friend back to the adobo for safe keeping.\n\nYet we hit the spot again and again just so we can have our visions blurred until everything became a moving feast. It doesn't take much to get that girl hammered. ;D OK so can you really so anything bad about Fat Tuesday I mean it'd alcohol in all flavors!! There is alcohol in these drinks and you can add extra shots!!! Prices are good and they have any size you want. Love Fat Tuesday!!! Its also really fun to watch the tourist that visit here! These drinks are such a creeper it's wonderful. Ordered the blueberry one in a half yard and had a good buzz off of it. The drink itself was strong but after a few sips you get used to it. It's a perfect yummy treat for the hot summer Vegas days. I did not know that you can sample at least two flavors before committing, so I will be sure to do so next time I'm in town! Drinks can be a bit on the pricey side but then again you're in Vegas, everything is over priced. This place is soooooooooooooooo good. The drinks are tasty, always get an extra shot... shit, your in Vegas!! I got the Octaine 90 mixed with the hurricane. This was the one place where my friends and I really wanted to go while in Vegas. My friend said, "I want a drink as tall as my femur". And so, the hunt for Fat Tuesday began. It actually took us quite a bit of time to find this place, and we even had to ask a worker in Caesar\'s Palace. But we DID eventually find it, and we were so excited!\n\nWe decided to go for the half yard, because it seemed like the most reasonable size. There are several cool things about this place. First, you can sample the flavors! There are a large variety of drinks to choose from, so it can get a bit overwhelming. It is good to try a few to make sure you like it before you commit to a whole drink. When I sampled two, I chose the one where I couldn\'t taste the alcohol, hahah. Electric Lemonade was so yummy! The second cool thing - you can save your cup and bring it back for a discounted drink. The half yard was $14, but it would only be $11 if you bring back the cup. However it does vary per drink, but you can see the price breakdowns in the picture I posted. \n\nFat Tuesday can get a bit crowded, but that just shows how yummy the drinks are. The worker was really nice, and was really cool about getting us the samples we wanted to try. Keep this in mind - I think there are about 5 other Fat Tuesdays around the strip, so when you want to go, just go on Yelp and see which one is closest to you. If you are having trouble finding this particular one like I was, it is in the Forum at Caesar\'s Palace right next to the Atlantis display/performance. Enjoy! | american (new) | 12,619 |
Restaurent name is: Panda Express
review: Typical fast food Chinese, a hodgepodge of unauthentic dishes but very tasty. The Chow Mein is over cooked , greasy and brittle. Not a big fan of the fried dishes . Very tasty grilled chicken and green beans dish. Hate it when you order and every items comes with"50cents more" - just put it on the menu they have big screen tv\'s they can update pricing. \n\nThis was annoying. But the food great. Service good. Do ask for chopsticks they assume you just want the plastic fork. \n\nLoved the new bacon dish. Whomever dreamed this one up is a genius. Chicken honey and bacon. You cannot go wrong. The lines went quickly. The food was hot and very fresh. My food was still good and hot, even after my 10 min. Walk home!!! I purchased the mushroom chicken. The flavor was good. This was only my 2nd visit to Panda Express. My first meal was firecracker chicken. It was fabulous. The flavor was spicy and a bit sweet. I will definitely buy that one again! The price is fair to good. I will definitely be going back again!!! Everything is greasy and not very fresh. I tried the "famous" orange chicken and cannot understand why this is so popular: it seems to have been soaked in vinegar for far too long. The chow mein has hardly anything in it but noodles, and it is so greasy, it\'s not worth the bother. Been here a total of three times and every time service has always been rude, slow, and inaccurate. Last time I go to this location. | chinese | 12,620 |
Restaurent name is: Mariscos Ensenada
review: The fish and shrimp tacos are amazing. This is my favorite for fish tacos and I eat here whenever I'm in the area. I love the sauce for the tacos as well. Great place at great prices. Really great place to eat. The food was delicious and not expensive at all. This place has the Best Micheladas in AZ . If you never had a Michelada start here. I love coming here on sundays. Was looking for the right Mariscos place to go to and hang with friends. Thank god I found this place, we visit weekly (especially when hungover). Great food! Service can be slow at times but the food is just too good ! I am usually not a fan of Mexican food because I grew up picky and then when I acquired a taste for it, my hubby burnt me out on it since it's his favorite kind. But everyone else trumped me tonight, so this is where we ended up. I was SO pleasantly surprised! The food is fresh and flavorful and delicious! The staff are very nice. I will be happy to come back here. The food even made me cry. ;) (it's a bit spicy but worth it) I've been coming here with my family since I was a child, and this place has always been the best! Love that the owner is the one who does all the cooking and setting up of the plates! The lemonade is amazing too! Better than any other mariscos place! | mexican | 12,621 |
Restaurent name is: Hooters
review: Myself and a group of 6 others went for all you can eat wings (Monday night special). It was our first time at this location. No one greeted us when we (only 4 of us at this point) entered. Finally a girl told us in passing "yall can sit here" and pointed to the table right in front of the door. We asked for a bigger table because more people would be joining us. She told us that there were not enough waitresses to take on one of the bigger tables in the back section. My fianc\xc3\xa9 said "I guess the rest of us will just sit on the floor." Our waitress laughed and walked away. \n*mind you, there were 5 waitresses tending all of 12 tables. When I was a waitress, servers were assigned 4-5 tables EACH... Maybe the low intelligence of hooters girls makes this impossible. But I digress*\nThe rest of our party arrived and we squeezed them all into the table we were seated at. We ordered a pitcher of beer and a round of shots. It took 20min before all of that was on the table. She messed up 3 out of 6 shots (and charged us for her mistakes at the end of the night), and getting the correct drinks took another 10min. \nWhen we tried to flag her down to order food (RAVENOUS at this point, almost an hour into sitting at this table), she held up her hand and told us "hold on", not stopping to even look our way. One of our group got his first round of wings 15min before the rest of us. When we finally got our first round, it was half wrong. Surprise surprise. We tried to put our second order in, but she was so rude we found the "manager", If you could call anyone so low class and unprofessional a manager. She cut us off in the middle of our explanation, rolling her eyes, and told us she could give us the GM\'s number and we could take it up with him. Hello, we just want the drinks we ordered and more than 4 half cold God damn wings for $13... \nThis place is a joke. I\'ll save you from the rest of the experience.\nI usually give people the benefit of the doubt and I would say that if someone came in and really gave this team of people a speech on being a team, being courteous and attentive, and helped them build up their confidence as capable waitresses that it could be a totally different place... But no. I can\'t even say that of this place. Yeah, this Hooters leaves a lot to be desired. If it closed, I don't think many would notice. I mean, it's a Hooters. You KNOW what you're getting the moment you walk through the door. Although, this one is a little less on the service side. The food is good, (good, not great) but the girls, MGR., service, sucks. Better hope everything is okay when you get there, b/c there's no fixing it. \n\nUnless you're going for beer & to flirt, keep going. I\'ve been to this place once so take it for what\'s it\'s worth. It was a Sunday afternoon during football season... They had 4 waitresses for the whole restaurant. We waited 10 mins for our waitress to get our drink orders. Then it took another 10 mins to get our pitcher of beer and she didn\'t pour our beers for us... She dropped off the pitcher and mugs and walked away. We finally ordered after we flagged her down and she came back twice to confirm our order of wings that she already wrote down. We waited over 30 mins for our wings and on our second pitcher of beer, she bought only 2 mugs for 3 of us. We saw 2 different groups of people sit down, wait 10-15 mins, and get up and leave after no one came to take their order. Our order did come out hot and correct so there was obviously some kind of shortage that day but our waitress never mentioned anything about it. Terrible service and subpar "talent" for Hooters.... And I\'ve been to 15-20 Hooters from San Francisco to Wilmington, NC Food and staff were equally terrible. Went for all you can eat promotion and was unable to eat all that I could because of extreme periods of wait time between orders. Staff members stood around staring aimlessly and being unproductive. To say that Helen Keller would have been a better server than Janet would not be a stretch. Will not be returning. Dumpster fire. If you\'re looking for the quick synopsis, there ya go. \n\nI almost feel bad reviewing this Hooters with all of the other dismal reviews (all of which I can very easily imagine to be 100% correct), because I feel like I am piling on to bully a disabled kid. It really is THAT bad, so bear with me here. \n\nHooters has been a (quickly ending) Christmas Day tradition for my family and friends for years. Hooters is one of the few places open late for Christmas and by Christmas night, everyone has cabin fever, are tired of leftovers, and just want to get out of the house for beer, wings and football. Due to my family\'s location in the Lincoln County / Lake Norman area, we have been alternating between the Gastonia and Mooresville locations for years. Gastonia is now out of the equation due to the outright awful food and service. \n\nWe arrived and stood in the "lobby" area trying to determine if we needed to wait to be seated. If you\'re familiar with this location, you know that there isn\'t much of a lobby area and you basically walk in and are standing very close to other diners at their tables. Sometimes you seat yourself at Hooters. Other times, during busier days (they were moderately busy but not slammed when we arrived), you have to wait to be seated. There wasn\'t a sign but I figured we probably had to wait to be seated, so we stood there like a couple of dumb asses for 4-5 minutes thinking a hostess would at some point fast rope from the ceiling like a Navy SEAL and seat us. Didn\'t happen. We came to the conclusion that maybe this was a seat yourself day, and sat ourselves at one of the only available tables in the restaurant (note: there were MANY empty tables, but they were all dirty and had not been cleared). \n\nWe sat there for a little over 20 minutes without being greeted. Instead, we received constant dirty looks from the servers that were working our section. I told my buddy that maybe we were supposed to wait to be seated after all [shrug]. This was later confirmed when a couple came in, were immediately greeted and sat by a hostess (WTF? Where did she come from? Maybe she was a Navy SEAL after all!), and quickly received their drinks. We still had not even been greeted.\n\nWe saw that a server in another section had noticed us and was talking to the servers in our section, pointing towards us. She was trying to get help for us. They shrugged it off. This server (from the other section) eventually came up to us, told us the servers in our section were busy at the moment (She was being kind. She was busier than they were. Hustling), and said she would go ahead and take our drink order for them. I asked if we had done something wrong to deserve the dirty looks and intentional neglect. She confirmed that yes, we were supposed to have been seated by a hostess. I told her we would gladly get up and wait to be re-seated - that we didn\'t know. She told us that wasn\'t necessary.\n\nShe put our order in and brought our drinks about 5 minutes later. When it came to ordering food, we still had not been helped by anyone but our stand-in server. I flagged her down and asked if she could just be our server for the rest of the night. She said yes, and from that point the service was excellent. The food, however, was lacking. The wings were cold and took about 45 minutes to come out. Ah well, par for the course. Service continued to be dismal for others around the restaurant. I counted 8 tables at one point that were empty but had not been cleaned. Three of them were in our section, where the servers were "too busy" to help us. Meanwhile, a manager (I think?) was walking around giving out discount cards for our inconvenience that had to be used at a later date (LOL, WUT?! Won\'t be one), and servers were sitting at tables while nothing else was happening. \n\nA few weeks have passed between our visit and this review (Aka, the "cooling off" period), but I think we paid around $66 for the experience you just read about. I don\'t want to take anything away from the server that really stepped up and went well out of her way to help us when no one else would. I left her a $100 tip. See what happens when you put good customer service above your petty attitude? Good things.\n\nNote to management: The proper way to deal with customers that unintentionally seat themselves when you have a hostess is to politely inform them that they need to wait to be seated. This may be hard to believe, but we will happily comply. Other restaurants have figured out that signs are awesome for this purpose, but from everything else I saw during this visit, that may be too next level for this Hooters. What I do know is that dirty looks and intentional neglect are typically not great customer service approaches. Anyone at Hooters corporate that just cannot figure out for the life of you why this and other locations are getting absolutely destroyed right now, refer to this review and the many others just like it. | american (traditional) | 12,622 |
Restaurent name is: Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill
review: Very loud when I'm inside all I can hear is extremely loud talking food is ok, but still it sort of ruined the experience. Roast beef dinner was disgusting. Full of fat and grissel. Never again, stick with chicken. Both food and service is always great at this location. We've been here several times and have never been disappointed. The one thing that surprised us was that the server knew her 'usual' customers and recognized that we were new to town. Now maybe I'm gullible but hey, I'll take it! My fave is the coconut cream pie, it never disappoints.\n\nI will say that since half of the restaurant has been converted to Harvey's the foot traffic has increased. Which isn't bad for business per se but it is disruptive to seated patrons on the other side. It is quite noisy during lunch and after school with the teens and pre-teens. Our 2 meals arrived 30 minutes early which was great however the fries were not fully cooked and the chicken was slightly dry. We had a horrible server that didn't want to seat us where we wanted to sit because it had two extra chairs. \n\nThe pasta was tasteless and watery. We will not be back \n\nThe owner contacted me but didn't care to apologize. | american (traditional) | 12,623 |
Restaurent name is: Yen's Gourmet
review: This place is awful. It's always totally empty, and for good reason. I went for lunch today since it's walking distance from my workplace, but I will never go back.\n\nI got yelled at for asking questions about the menu, it took forever to get my food, the food wasn't that good--and then it made me feel sick all afternoon. I got the lunch special with vegetables and tofu, steamed rice, and hot and sour soup. It was all bland--amazing, since this restaurant is one of the few Chinese places that still uses MSG.\n\nIt looks like they used to do a buffet, but now the food tubs on the buffets are filled with old magazines and trash. Not even kidding...I don't usually write entirely bad reviews, but I can't think of a single good thing about Yen's.\n\nIf it were the zombie apocalypse and I were locked in this restaurant, I still wouldn't eat the food. Gross. the food here is really great and really fresh and not over priced\nthe best thing is the vegetables are are so fresh, like they were just picked and cut and cooked up just for you\nbest chinese vegetables I've ever had this was some of the worst chinese food i've ever had. everything i ordered was incredibly salty. the tofu was not cooked very well and the fried rice, aside from being too salty, was rather bland. plus they didn't throw in any spicy mustard.\n\non the plus side, the food was pretty cheap, and the delivery was free and quick.\n\nthis place might be good in a pinch, but otherwise seek out better chinese options. I gave them 2 chances. Both times they messed up my order, forgetting or just not bothering to add string beans to either order, even when the meal said it came with them. \n\nI called and asked for a partial refund, and was denied. I was told "already went through sorry" and other such phrases in broken english. I\'m not giving this place the privilege of a 3rd strike. This place might be good for ordering dinner at home, but when you are trying to order for a large group, forget it. The last time we ordered from them for a large lunch, they screwed up the order. Instead of giving us five PANS of food like we asked, they brought five individual meals, which was absolutely not enough to feed 20 people. When it happened again yesterday, we were amazed and decided not to order from there again.\n\nIt's a shame because we had ordered large quantities of food from them in the past and never had a problem-- they must have someone new there, | chinese | 12,624 |
Restaurent name is: Mr. Mesquite Taqueria
review: This Taco place was so good, I visit mexico a lot and the quality was just as good. Superb and perfectly executed. Moi Bien! Great street tacos!! Smell the mesquite charcoal! I recommend the steak. And very good price. This place is honestly pretty dank. The salsa bar is def my favorite part. Very tasty and love that it is open late!! This place just opened and i was one of the first customers that walked in. Let me tell you this place is phenomenal. Since I was one of the first customers I thought I'd be one of this first to review. But forreal do yourself a favor and check them out! I have come here several times, because it's right around the corner from where I work. \n\nPro: The flavor of food is great. Few places around Tempe that have this type of Mexican fare.\n\nCons: Service is hit or miss. Some employees are good, but most of them have terrible customer service skills. They frequently make errors on orders and are very inattentive.\n\nAnother issue is all the flies. It's disgusting. They don't make any attempt to keep flies out of the building or off the food. I'm tired of trying to shoo away flies throughout my entire meal. It's also annoying that flies are all over the salsa bar. How about actively fight the flies? Close the doors, keep the food covered, and swat flies? | mexican | 12,625 |
Restaurent name is: Grand Dragon
review: After years of eating here they still have Great service and great food!!!!! Love going back to the old hood to eat here. Glad some things stay the same. The crab puffs are awesome!!!!!!!! It was okay. The crab puffs were good, but the rest of the food was very bland. I've had worse but I've definitely had better and it wasn't worth the price. On the plus side, it was fast and the people were nice. This is my go to place for take-out Chinese on the West side. The chow mein has tasty noodles but they are a little stingy with the shrimp. I appreciate that they leave the sauce of the orange chicken on the side so it doesn't get all soggy on the way home. The staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. Love this place, been coming here for years and have never been dissapointed. Nothing fancy or wierd just very good chinese food. If you have a craving, and want your basics sesame chicken, sweet & sour chicken, beef & broccoli,egg rolls,chicken & veggies,orange chicken or lemon chicken you will find that here. One of my favorites is sizzling rice chicken, verrry good! They definatley have more than what I am mentioning, but these just happen to be my faves. We bring our kids here all the time and they are very helpful when serving us. For example, they know my 4 yr old loves the egg drop soup with the crispy won tons , but because its so hot they always bring a small bowl of ice on the side to help cool it down. They also know that my 4 yr old knows how to say thank you in chinese and I love how they encourage her to speak more. This will always be a neighborhood favorite , good food, good service and good people!! We ate here Christmas Day, doing the "Chinese food on Christmas" thing. This place does classic American-style Chinese food, and they do it well. You are not going to be wowed by an interesting or authentic experience here, so don\'t come expecting that. This is exotic only to the the palate of a child. However, this is exactly what you expect of American-style Chinese food....lovely tempura batter on the chicken, flavorful brown sauce, tasty egg fried rice, fun pu pu platter. I remember as a child doing "family style" Chinese food with my family....the soup course, egg rolls, crab angels, fried rice, a few simple entrees, and fortune cookies....this is exactly what I wanted out of the experience, and this is exactly what I got. This place has the Chinese zodiac menus under the table glass. The restaurant itself is mid-century classic Chinese restaurant, which is right up my alley. The prices are very affordable, and the portions are huge. If you are looking for "cuisine," really fantastic food, move on. If you are looking for a quality mid-century style americanized Chinese food experience, this is the ticket, lol. | chinese | 12,626 |
Restaurent name is: Claim Jumper
review: We headed here with a large group (14) early evening and were seated right away on a Thursday night. alot of other reviews said it would be busy but it was less than 1/3 full when we arrived.\n\nWe took a good selection across the entire list of entrees and everything was palatable but nothing stood out as outstanding.\n\nOne of our party had a steak come out a bit over done....after he sent ti back the manager (impressively) was at our table in less than three minutes to apologize..I've never been in any restaurant with a response time that fast.\n\nThey have an extensive list of beers and a decent wine list.\n\nWe did not try any of the deserts (which seems to be their claim to fame) so you'll have to make your own call.\n\nI'd say, for a mid-price eatery, that you get what you pay for the service is sharp and was a decent value. What can you say about Claim Jumper? Well, for starters, the obvious. The portions are huge. Like seriously obnoxiously huge. If someone from a different country came here they would immediately brand us as the most wasteful, gluttonous culture that has ever littered this earth with our people. Not to be dramatic, but that is actually what I heard this woman from El Salvador saying once who was visiting the U.S. for the first time as she was leaving the restaurant. \n\nThe food itself is pretty good, and the service is their strongest player. The staff is super friendly and accommodating to even the most obnoxious of patrons. \n\nI'd recommend the fish and chips and a to-go bag, and you should be set for atleast a day or two. It is true, unfortunately due to the awkward location this Claim Jumper was unable to keep its doors open. Many of your favorite servers have been thankfully relocated to other locations.\n\nPlease support the next closest location of Claim Jumper in the Deer Valley 30 complex off of the 101 & I-17. Chicken & rib combo very good. Cheese potatocake delicous. Bread pudding average. If you want a GIANT salad for about 11 bucks, then this is your place! Good food, but sort of average. When we were there, the AC went out and our meal was comped. Yes... Summer in Scottsdale... You don't want your AC going out, at least not during business hours! | american (traditional) | 12,627 |
Restaurent name is: Bravo! Cucina Italiana
review: I really like this place a lot! When some of my friends from Jersey visited one time, I took them here and since then, one of them can't stop talking about it! I think he'd visit Pittsburgh again just to eat here again.\n\nMy favorites are the shrimp fra diavolo and the pasta bravo chicken. They're both so good! Sometimes the shrimp fra diavolo is a little different. Sometimes it's SUPER spicy, sometimes it's just right, sometimes it's not spicy at all and is a bit spicy. I wish it stayed more consistent, but regardless, it's still really good. The pasta bravo is always good. It was the first thing I tried and still one of my favorites. \n\nThey also have really good pizza. Their margherita pizza is really good. \n\nOf course, my favorite appetizer, the calamari - so delicious. I've always been happy with it. Comes with two delicious dipping sauces and it's perfect size to share with a friend.\n\nI also love how they have white paper over their tables so you can always draw/write while your'e waiting for your food. (:\n\nThe wait staff is always really friendly and one time during the summer, I got re-fills! That made that experience so much better. \n\nThe interior always looks nice. It has an ancient Italy feel and in the back, you can see the cooks and brick ovens. Some restaurants feature outdoor seating which is real nice when it's warm outside. You could definitely come here for a casual meal with friends and family or come for a romantic date. I came here a couple of times a few years ago, but I haven't been back until now. Every time I've come, it's always packed! And the service is great. \n\nFOOD: We started with the complimentary bread and oil with tomatoes. The warm bread is delicious with the oil that's a bit salty but flavorful. I had the grilled salmon salad which is grilled salmon on top of a field of greens, grilled asparagus, tomatoes and shoestring potatoes. The balsamic vinaigrette is a bit sweet but tasty! The whole meal was satisfying for a light dinner. Second time visit from Florida, so obviously I'm a fan. Love the bread and dipping sauce! \n\nThe salad is amazing and one of the most unique I have tried. \n\nThe entree was all me, screaming this is your dish! So the balsamic chicken is a major WIN!\n\nWill continue to visit on my trips from Florida. This used to be our go to place for birthdays, anniversaries and date nights. But lately the food has been sub par, the menu is shrinking and the service has been slow. The two times we've tried to go there for lunch, well I'm glad that we weren't on a work day lunch or else we wouldn't of gotten to eat. Apparently chain restaurants can be good. Who knew? Bravo is probably the best food available in the suburban gloom surrounding the Pittsburgh airport, which, yes, hardly sounds like an endorsement, but I mean it in the best way. \n\nI was pleased with my meal here from start to finish. The atmosphere was slightly kitschy, but I like that sometimes; it reduces stuffiness. Service was attentive and friendly, without being overbearing. The wine selection was sufficient for my tastes, and I think it would be more than enough for most rural Pennsylvanians. Dishes came out at just the right time, every time. The menu contained several vegetarian entrees, two of which I tried and enjoyed. The food itself was very good--certainly not the best Italian food I've ever tasted, but surprisingly tasty nonetheless. Flavors were well-balanced and portions were generous. If you're in the area (and you probably won't be, unless you stay in a hotel nearby) and you're craving some real food, definitely check out Bravo. | italian | 12,628 |
Restaurent name is: Black Apron Cuisine
review: my friend introduced me to this place. We both work several blocks northeast of Chinook mall and I gotta tell ya, there's really not much flare in the industrial area. So, when my bud told me we were going for burgers close to work at this new place he found, I wasn't expecting much... I was expecting a dive.\n\nwe pulled up to this place that outside looked like a place where you'd buy wholesale industrial equipment anything pure use to seeing out here like a car part store. Before I went inside, I had to take a call and that distracted me. Anyhow, I walked in and one of the first things I saw besides the order counter was on the left, two well played Salmon fillets on a bed of mashed potatoes and greens... WTF?! my jaw actually dipped and i was completely surprised that this place served up this kind of food.\n\nThey said the upstairs was full so we sat at the main level. Have a look at my photos btw.\n\nsalmon was the special and was delicious! it was fresh and seasoned well. it was on special and only cost $13.95 if you can believe it. The beef stew on the other hand was well beef stew and was $12.95 (over priced in my books).\n\nMy only bad points of the place was they don't have a menu and their chalkboard doesn't tell you the prices for everything; So, unless you love having to ask how much everything you're interested in costs, don't bother asking and just get surprised that you we're charged $12.95 for a bowl of stew.\n\n4.5 stars form me really, but no point five ratings so straight to 5 for the great service and completely taking this area's cuisine choices to a whole new level.\n\npeace Black Apron is tucked in an in a light industrial park not far from Chinook train station. I went to check it out because of a recommendation from a friend who knew I worked close by. \n\nIf it wasn't for the sandwich board outside, you may not know it was a restaurant at all. It has a door on the 62 Ave SE side of the parking lot. It's a simple, clean space with friendly staff that are very quick to say hello and assist.\n\nA friend and I split a Reuben sandwich and the Creole Sausage Mac N Cheese with a side garden salad each. Both meals looked amazing as they came to the table and the taste didn't disappoint. That was the cheesiest mac I've had in a long time. \n\nThe price point is real nice and the meal came at a very timely manner.\n\nI would recommend this place to anyone. We hired Black Apron Cuisine to cater our wedding on April 1, 2017 and we could not have been happier! \n\nAfter attending a few wedding shows and meeting with a number of caterers, we were starting to feel a little lost. With the others, all of our discussions started with "pick one item from column A and 2 items from column B". When we first met Juan Luis and Stephen we were at a loss for words. The conversation started with questions like "what do you like to eat?" "what are your favourite foods?" "what foods to you dislike?" They worked with us to create a menu and ran with it. \n\nNot only were they great with our normal menu, they created delicious dishes for all of our guests with dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, lactose, etc) with multiple options for each. Our guests were blown away as usually it is down to one bland meal for anyone that is different. \n\nOn site on the day couldn\'t have gone smoother. Their staff looked after our entire wedding and were very professional and courteous. For a wedding of 140 it still felt like an intimate affair. Even a week later I am still hearing from our friends about the food (and the balsamic emulsion salad dressing) :)\n\nMy wife and I cannot speak highly enough about Black Apron and we would recommend them to anyone for anything. We are even now looking at them for some catering for work functions. \n\nIf you are ever looking for someone to cater any event or function, these are the people to call! Black Apron just catered our 30 person Christmas office party in our home. They did an amazing job. The food was like a fine dining restaurant just opened in my home! Everything was prepared fresh, beautifully seasoned and just a little different. Juan and his staff were attentive, effective and efficient. Appetizers were creative and elegant. The main buffet was amazing, beautifully presented, and really delicious. The dessert was fantastic. Everyone was complementing the food. Just what you want. They cleaned up and left the place clean and tidy. With all free rental equipment out in the garage ready for pickup. What more could you ask for? Fantastic sandwiches and guys who really care about food :) I've stopped by twice for an early lunch (mostly because I don't like eggs so don't really do breakfast) and have been super-impressed with the food and the service both times. \n\nThe first time I got to nibble on breakfast cake while waiting for my to-go Reuben and the second time I sat under a patio umbrella with my dog after a long walk and had their feature sandwich - an unbelievably good chicken, brie, spicy sausage, tomato, arugula concoction served on the perfect baguette. \n\nThe chefs really love talking about what they make and obviously put a lot of care and thought into their product. Everyone I've interacted with at Black Apron has been personable and approachable - and, most importantly, have made great recommendations for what to eat! \n\nMost of their business seems to be catering, but the Black Apron totally shines at lunch (even if that lunch is before 10:30am!). | canadian (new) | 12,629 |
Restaurent name is: Sala Thai Restaurant
review: I don't remember name of my curry soup, maybe Ka it was very good and I would try other things in future. We sat out front of restaurant, so I never went inside. Absolutely fantastic food. Great atmosphere. Quaint little neighborhood with on street parking, easy exit on the 30 in Madison. My wife and children and I love the place. Parang Geek is the best I have had anywhere. Kids love the Pad Thai with a mild spice. We will be back again. I had originally intended to order carry out but when I arrived, I felt suddenly parched for a glass of wine ;o) I asked the woman at the cash register if it was okay if I just sat on their bench near the register with my glass of wine and maybe nibbled on my food a little. She offered one better and graciously invited me to sit at one of their dining room tables. This was 8:30 pm and dining room service had already been winding down.\n\nShe set the table with a place mat and a cold glass of ice water, even taking out the already packaged to go container in a ceramic bowl and gave me a plate with utensils. I offered for her to take the clean plate away since I didn\'t want to dirty an unnecessary dish. She insisted I use the dish as "the food will taste better that way".\n\nShe was so right!\n\nI ordered the green curry with to tofu, and the green papaya salad with a side of grilled chicken and sticky rice. \n\nI have been missing a solid green curry every since my favorite little hole in the wall near Woodman\'s West closed down and the one at Sala Thai is a great replacement. The curry was thick in consistency and aromatic in flavor. It came with Thai eggplants, bamboo shoots, carrots, green beans and basil. The portion was huge, and even as I ate to my hearts content, there was plenty of leftovers.\n\nCheck out the photo of the papaya salad, it was a huge, delicious, saucy mix of green papaya, carrots, roasted peanuts in a tangy, sweet, chili sauce with a hint of fish sauce. The crisp shredded green papaya mingled with the simple and light sauce to bring together a taste worth seeking out for. The all white meat grilled chicken was lightly seasoned and grilled with a char flavor. Take a bite of the sticky rice, chicken and papaya salad all on one fork - it\'s the best way to enjoy this entree!\n\nOne of the many great things about Sala Thai is their dishes! This may be a head-scratcher, but I really loved their dishes! They had these glossy, porcelain dishes and serve ware with beautiful designs, replacing the plain white plates you encounter in typical restaurants now days. It really makes the presentation value just as high as the preparation.\n\nI implore you to step out of your Willy St bubble and surround yourself with thoughtfully prepared, delicious Thai food at Sala Thai! This is hands-down the most authentic and flavorful Thai food in Wisconsin. My partner and I eat South East Asian religiously. When we travel we look for Southeast Asian restaurants mainly Thai, Lao, Vietnamese. There are several very good curry use in Madison we just happen to be blessed with good curries. But the curries here at Sala Thai are unmatched. Richly flavored, fragrant,..... so tasty!! The Pad Krapao is a spicey masterpiece! The spicey noodles, LAAB, Pad Wun Sen.....good. If you like spice and heat, come here. But every dish can be made to your specific heat tolerance including zero heat. And the soups? Won Ton, PHO, Tom Yum.....again, simply the best in town!! This is a family business and they are typically a bit short waitstaff. So if you want to great food come here. But please understand in advance you may have to wait a bit for it. Don't come here if you are on a short schedule. I also must say that they have the friendliest waitstaff in owners in the business!! I LOVE this place!!! My wife loves curry dishes and we've tried almost every spot in town and have decided this is amoungst our favorites.\n\nCash only. Very good. | thai | 12,630 |
Restaurent name is: La Calabria Ristorante
review: We don't go out for Italian very often, my wife isn't usually a fan. We were looking for somewhere near our place to grab a bite after a long weekend road trip. We decided to try la Calabria. We weren't disappointed. The authentic food was amazing and the service was impeccable. You can definitely sense that it is family owned and operated. My wife said that her Seafood ravioli was the best pasta she's ever had. We will definitely be back. Where do I start? Except I am so excited they have reopened. We went here for my birthday dinner and I was looking forward to having their Gnocchi. It wasn't on the menu.The chef heard it was my birthday and made me an order in a to die for spicy cream sauce. I could have licked the plate. The Calamari was excellent. And the piece of Tiramisu they brought, one of the best I have had. \nOur waitress, Nektaria(?) was so sweet and attentive. We will definitely be going back again. And if they Gnocchi isn't in the menu yet I will shed a small tear but that just means I get to try something else. HORRIBLE!!!! The owner grabbed the arm of and SCREAMED at our waiter and "made an example" out of him because I thought there was too much dressing on the salad.....WHAT THE HECK!!! I was physically terrified because the owner was so close that I thought he might assault me like he did his employee. The wife/owner apologized for her husband\'s violent aggressive outburst and horrific punishment of the employee while we were trying to eat. Honestly, I\'m afraid what happened to that poor boy serving us our lunch after we left. So I guess my advice is that if you happen to choose to go to this place and you don\'t like how your food tastes, DO NOT COMPLAIN or some employee may be hurt/humiliated and/or fired. Walked in... made eye contact with a couple servers and the hostess and hung out for awhile, and was finally seated after about 3 min of awkwardly standing there. Couldn't really understand the majority of the mumbling coming out of our servers mouth. Had a black curly hair in my salad. Dinner was mediocre at best... not impressed with the quality of the food for the price. Wish I would've went to the Chinese place next door. Great Service, Great Food- I was here last night and had a delightful meal with excellent service. It was a Wednesday night and about 5 p.m. and the place was empty which really surprised me. I had the chicken gorgonzola and a nice glass of red wine. Bring it on folks...this place needs diners! | italian | 12,631 |
Restaurent name is: Morals Village
review: Very good service and variety of foods you can get from what you paid for. If you want a decent hotspot experience, this place will satisfy you 3.5/5 \n\nI came here with 6 other friends last night and we were quite disappointed with the service. We arrived at 8pm and didn't get seated until 9:15pm even though most of tables who arrived after us were already seated. To be fair, they did say that we had to wait longer because we were a larger group (still sucked though because we were all starving). \n\nWe ordered right after getting seated - I got the tomato ox soup base as well as the pork bone soup base. I think it's a couple dollars extra per soup. Their drinks also cost extra - FYI most hot pot places come with one complimentary soup base and free drinks (pop, a few Asian drinks, etc.). I split a watermelon juice with a few other friends and that tasted mediocre. As I mentioned before, we weren't very happy with the service here - we had to ask for water 3 times before it came, our soups were only refilled once and that was towards the end of our meal, and no one really came to check up on us throughout the meal. \n\nAlright, ranting aside, the selection of food here was quite impressive. I'm not even sure what we ended up ordering because they just brought out a whole bunch of stuff. One good thing about this place is that they don't charge you extra for the good stuff (aka seafood). Their food came out within minutes and everything tasted very fresh. \n\nAll in all, Morals is a good place to eat if you are a fan of hotpot and don't mind a wait/subpar service. The atmosphere here is also very fun and it is nicely decorated. This place doesn't take credit card as indicated on their page. Our bill was $261 before tax. I gave $320 cash. The cashier had the nerve to come over and asked for more tips. (Who does that?!) I said I would definitely be happy to tip more if they would take my credit card but of course they refused. \n\nFor their price, there are much better hotpot restaurants in Richmond hill that come with lobster. I would never return to moral village again and will not recommend it to anyone. Amazing food and broth choices. \n\nI came here to celebrate a friend's birthday not too long ago. There were 7 of us. We had to call in for a reservation. We had to wait for our table for about 5 - 10 minutes but the hostess was very sweet and apologized for the wait. We sat down and immediately someone came over and asked if we wanted a round of ice water while looking at the menu. The menu is easy to read and follow and it was all you can eat! We were here for about 3 hours. Over all, friendly service, it is quick and easy, this location is definitely one of my favourite places to have hot pot from now on. Morals village is one of the better hot pots I been to. Their selection of a variety of soups, noodles, and meats/seafood is overwhelmingly awesome. I went with a group of 8 and we had to wait for 30 min because it was busy at night. They served us within 20 min and they brought everything over for us including the sauces. We can increase the heat of the hot pot to our liking. Our table got a the tom yum soup base and spicy soup base (which I recommend for those spicy lovers but a side note would be to take out the dried chilli peppers before eating, as it can increase the spice of the soup when boiled) \n\nIt was a lovely time, the service was great and we had soft served ice cream at the end. The price is roughly 40 per person, give or take. It's well worth the money if you want to eat a selection of meats, veggies, noodles and rice. \n\nHighly recommend ! | chinese | 12,632 |
Restaurent name is: Big Boy's Burgers
review: Decided I wanted to have a psychic reading I am very skeptical about psychics but when I went to mrs. Nancy she was very accurate she guided me in the right path and I've been seeing her since a year now I recommend to have a psychic reading she does consultations very good her psychic readings are very reliable and I trust her she helped me get my life back together when I was in a relationship problem and ever since then everything became good I recommend her she was God sent If you love philly cheese steak or poutine you can have either or both at big boys. The Philly-liscious poutine is insanely good. The owner always has themed specialties as well. Like the Rob Ford which is an absolute delicious mess. Never disappointed in their food! The pulled pork poutine is my ultimate favourite and I end up craving it for days! The used to have a burger that had a wedge of pineapple on it which melted into the burger which is absolutely amazing! I think they have taken off the menu and I keep telling them to bring it back lol This is a great, no-nonsense place to get your burger fix. We unknowingly came here 5 minutes before closing but the owners were still very friendly and didn't mind at all. \nAs for the food,the buns that they use somehow avoided making the burger a soggy mess by the time we got home to eat it, unlike most other places. The deluxe poutine was also delicious and had a good mix of cheese, gravy and bacon. We'll be back! I really enjoy eating a well done burger! So I like to try different places that make burgers.\n\nI must way that I really like the burger here, it was made to order which was a nice touch, they had lots of veggies which I like. The fries of course is a staple of a side with your burger and the were pretty good. \n\nOverall this was not the best I have had, but it definitely is pretty good. I have come back several times so they are doing something right. | canadian (new) | 12,633 |
Restaurent name is: Treichels Bar N Grille
review: Excellent Bloody Mary's. The fries are really good; perfectly crisp. Good beer selection. He got the Reuben which was very good & I got a grilled cheese with tomato & pickles. Very laid back atmosphere & comfortable. Prices are reasonable and staff was very friendly & make you feel at home. The only thing missing from the menu is wings. When is this place open??? I stopped for lunch in April when the OPEN sign was lit and there were cars in the parking lot and the steps were shoveled, only to wrench my wrist on the door handle which was locked when I tried to open it. \n\nRemembering the amazing french fries (my husband and I love crispy, thick fries) we have returned numerous times for dinner. Unless the owner is cooking in the kitchen, the food seems to be sub-par.\n\nWe often end up at Treichel's on Wednesday nights, which is Karaoke night. This is a busy night for this establishment, however this is not a good night to watch sports or enjoy a nice meal.\n\nI don't hold high hopes for this restaurant unless they make great profits based on weekend nights or Wednesday night Karaoke money. The soup was home made and excellent! The fries were cooked perfect...no greasiness ! Everything we ordered was fantastic. The martinis were made to order; the olives were even hand stuffed with blue cheese. The decor is very inviting, and the whole restaurant is CLEAN and spotless....a big change from the establishment that was here previously. It's obvious that this owner really cares about his business and clients! We finally got a chance to try Treichel\'s last week. It was such a great experience! They have limited taps but varied bottles of beer to offer. I prefer wine and the list was "existent" thankfully - though not impressive. This is acceptable because the food is general bar fare.\n\nMy husband ordered fish and chips which he found to be excellent - I had a hamburger (fried egg included) and it was delicious! My burger was so large we split it! We like our fries extra crispy with no salt and that was what we received. \n\nThe atmosphere reminded me of "Cheers" - a neighborhood haunt with great atmosphere and friendly patrons. The vintage memorabilia on the walls is enough to keep a history buff enthralled and the sportsman enticed!\n\nThe owner came out of the kitQatarchen (replete with black apron) to discuss the antique cash registers with us. What a laid back incredible night!\n\nWe will be back - and soon! Fun atmosphere. Good service. Food was very reasonably priced. Nice selection of specials. Food was delicious! Great local craft beer selection! Will definitely be back! | american (traditional) | 12,634 |
Restaurent name is: CreAsian Bar & Grill
review: Great restaurant! Very nice, casual but upscale, restaurant serving fresh and flavorful Asian fusion cuisine. Friendly and fast staff. Nice touches like cloth table linens. We ordered the pho (delicious) and the rice plate with chicken which included beef broth, salad, flavorful slices chicken breast, small spring roll, a couple grilled shrimp, and choice of white or fried rice. Everything was fresh and very tasty. We are hoping this cute little place stays for a long while. This was my first time in AZ and I was craving Vietnamese food. Although there were a ton of options in Phoenix, this place definitely lives up to it's 5-star rating & is the only highlight from AZ! Came here multiple times during my trip so that says a lot lol.\n\nTheir pho broth is amazing & I can honestly say it's the best I've had. It's super flavorful and they aren't shady with the meat/noodle portions.\n\nEverything I ordered on the menu was really good, but I'd definitely recommend their pho special, spring rolls, sizzling salmon or steak and eggs rice plate, and chicken wings. \n\nAmazing happy hour deals, so you can have a cocktail/beer/wine with your meal since it's a bar as well! This is definitely not your traditional, noisy Vietnamese restaurant with shitty service. Their exceptional service and upscale decor & ambiance is what makes them stand out from other competitors. CreAsian Bar and Grill\n\nCame here on a Saturday evening around 8 pm and there was one table occupied outside and no one inside.\n\nHad the Pho Special and Spring Rolls.\n\nPho Special had Vietnamese Rice Noodles in a Beef Bone Marrow Broth with Ribeye Steak, Brisket and Meatballs with Bok Choy and added Mint Leaves and Bean Sprouts. Bone broth is very good and all the condiments compliment the entire bowl.\n\nThe Spring Rolls had shrimp and an array of veggies inside accompanied with a peanut sauce. Order came with 4 rolls that were good size.\n\nFood was good, a little on the expensive side for Vietnamese Pho compared to what we go to other restaurants.\n\nWould like to try their Vermicelli or Rice Plates\n\nNice job on the food. Great service and food. Snuck in at the end of Happy Hour. A must try. Very friendly staff. It was Just OK. Nothing about it makes me want to return. I don't have anything really good or bad to say about this place. | asian fusion | 12,635 |
Restaurent name is: Mr.Tonkatsu
review: tldr: A solid Korean-style Tonkatsu shop. Full katsu sets (salad, soup, rice, and katsu) for good prices $15. Ample seating. Punctual service.\n\nThis shop serves Korean-style katsu dishes. Korean katsu is flakier than traditional Japanese katsu. This shop is similar to Wako Donkasu in LA (for you LA yelpers). The meal sets are the go-to. Sets include cabbage salad, rice, miso soup, and katsu of your choosing. You can add curry on the side among other extras. It's not fancy, but it's good value and a solid dinner or lunch option. Great katsu by Toronto standards! The unlimited rice, soup, and cabbage reminds me of Japan. The price for extra meat is not worth it in my opinion since it's almost another order. The katsu wasn't light but it wasn't heavy and not oily. I would definitely come here again when I crave for katsu. Two friends and I went here on a whim for dinner after seeing images of the food posted on the outside of the restaurant. \n\nWe were quickly seated and our server came swiftly to take our orders. Our server was extremely friendly and knowledgeable when one of my friends inquired about some of the menu items. I ordered the Shrimp Curry (just under $17) and was delighted with how crispy and tasty the shrimp was. The meal came with miso soup which was also quite flavourful. As someone who does not usually eat spicy food, I did find the curry to be a tad spicy, although it was not unbearable.\n\nThe restaurant's washroom unfortunately did not have any toilet paper or paper towels when I went inside, which was the only inconvenient part about my visit.\n\nThe food was great so I would recommend coming here! I will definitely be coming back to eat here again when in the area! This place is soooooo good and reminds me of Japan! It did take a bit long to get our orders but once it came, everything was great! I got the pork tenderloin pork katsu while my bf got pork katsu curry. Mine was so tender and crispy without being too oily, and I also am obsessed with the salad dressing! Can't get enough of it.\n\nMy boyfriends curry katsu with cheese was also amazing, the cheese adds an extra creaminess that was perfect! I don't feel guilty after eating this even if it's fried which is a plus! This place is amazing. Great interior, great food, great servers. I tried their tender loin Katsu,Demi-Glass Katsu, katsudon, soba, soy chicken and all of them are good! and the price was reasonable for such high quality food. I will definitely go here again and recommend to my friends and families. I've been to Katsuya but I can't compare this place to Katsuya! Much better Katsu, better sauce, there's nothing to compare. Overall, I'd give 6 stars out of 5.\n\n\n ! ! !! !! | japanese | 12,636 |
Restaurent name is: El Cancun Mexican Restaurant
review: worst Mexican I've had... and I like the standard Tex Mex that usually all tastes the same and seems like it must be easy to get right, but I couldn't even eat this. it's a holiday so maybe the staff wasn't the usual but beyond that even the chips weren't good, the taco shells were stale, the ladies room smelled like a dirty kitchen and the food was overall flavorless. I never send food back (didn't tonight either) but I almost feel like I should have given them some feedback... thus the review. oh yea the service was odd... the waitress didn't even ask us if we were ready to order. She just gave us a look... even if she didn't speak english she could have smiled or something. Skip. The Enchiladas are like a bad day at a sewage treatment plant. A revolting brown sauce, inedible beef, fake cheese, and a bizarre flavor that leaves one gagging. The rice is flavorless and the chips (which came with the meal) taste days old. Hey at least the canned refried beans can't be screwed up. Okay, so we went here based on all the reviews...\nThe food was definitely nothing to write home about and neither was the service. Everything was mediocre to say the least. The salsa, if that is what you want to call it...tasted like they opened a can of tomato sauce and poured it into a bowl. \nI was so excited because they had a vegetarian section...and all I can say is gross and why bother? \nWe will not be going back any time soon...or more like never.\nI would not waste your time...not sure why it got such rave reviews??? Excellent Mexican food. Highly recommend. My personal favorites include the El Vegitariano & Burrito Texano. Chips and salsa are always great, plus good sweet tea. Go check it out. This is the second time that I have been here, and both times were terrible. I typically enjoy the standard "tex-mex" type restaurants, but this was a pretty poor example of the style.\n\nLike most of these places the experience starts with chips and salsa; this salsa was bland and watery. The chips were cold and stale; not sure when they made them, but I\'m sure that it was not the day they served them to us... At this point I should have left and drove up the road to Azteca, Don Pedro or any of the other taco shacks the Queen City has to offer; but sometimes I am not so sharp so we proceeded to order lunch.\n\nI ordered the chimichanga; now usually a chimichanga is a flour tortilla filled with a wide range of seasoned flavorful ingredients and deep fried until it is a golden brown color and slightly crispy on the outside. This thing was filled with bland, unflavorful, grayish colored "shredded beef" and was soggy, they then smothered it in some sort of unseasoned canned tomatoes that they tried to pass off as salsa, I assume to mask the lack of flavor in the dish itself. On the side was some wilted lettuce with sour cream and something that vaguely resembled guacamole, and some oily rice that was nearly as flavorless as the rest of the meal. Phenomenal. I managed to eat about a quarter of this flavorless, oily, soggy train wreck before I gave up and threw in the towel. \n\nWhen the server finally came back around several minutes later, she acted like she didn\'t even notice that none of us had eaten more than half of their meal, and quietly picked up the plates and brought us our checks. None of us were asked how our meal was, if everything was OK, if we wanted any desert or more chips and salsa, and none of us received a refill on our drinks.\n\nAll in all, this was one of the worse restaurant prepared meals that I have had the pleasure of experiencing. Kudos to the good folks at El Cancun | mexican | 12,637 |
Restaurent name is: Suko Thai
review: I went there for lunch. I had a chicken fried rice. Although it looks ok, the portion is small. After I finish the meal, I feel like I only had a snack. Also the price is expensive for the quality of the food. The place is also tiny and a bit crowded at lunch.\n\nBut I have to say the decoration of the restaurant looks decent. Very prompt and cheerful service, clever assistance with the menu, and when I said "4 x spicy" they DELIVERED dear god haha. The decor is nice but not over-the-top, and the menu features a lot of authentic Thai dishes.\n\nWe tried some appetizers and of course my awesome pad thai and washed it down with actual Singha (which I was advised to refer to simply as a "Sing"). It was a very pleasant afternoon and I\'m itching to try more items on the menu. This place is nothing like the flagship Sukothai in downtown Toronto. Food is not bad but the Khao Soi is much much better in the 3 branches in Toronto. I asked for mild and they served very spicy with a noticeable difference in meat quality. Overall service was subpar compared to the other branches. A girlfriend and I went to this restaurant before out movie. After being seated we waited and waited for fifteen minutes and there was no waiter to take out drink order. We had to go to the bar ourselves and ordered a Cosmo. But the waiter did not know what that was!!! We then made it easier for him and requested a double vodka and cranberry juice. He didn\'t know what "double" shot of vodka was!!! After a long explanation he provided the drinks and they were strong. We requested more vodka and he brought half a glass of cranberry juice to our table. \n\nWe proceeded to order our meal. We both had the Phad Thai and it was bland and not authentic as the dish should taste. The restaurant was full by this point and we had a difficult time obtaining the attention of the two waiters to ask for our bill. \n\nOnce we received the bill, we noticed that the restaurant had charged us each $1.59 for the extra cranberry juice for the drink that wasn\'t made correctly!!! I couldn\'t believe my eyes. We were in a rush to go to our movie. The waiter never informed us there would be a charge of $3.18 for a half glass of cranberry juice which was "watered" down. I was SHOCKED.\n\nWe wanted to pay by debit and we had to trouble ourselves to go to the bar to use the interact machine as the waiter couldn\'t bring one to our table. I am always pleasant and always leave at least a 15% tip. But for the first time in my life I didn\'t tip. This place is to be AVOIDED. Rude staff, terrible service and charges on your bill that are not called for. DH and I have been been a customer for over 5 years. Takeout, delivery and eat in. \nThe food is very good, fresh and made with quality ingredients. Suko Thai has always been a bit more expensive, however the quality was worth it. \n\nThe reason for only three stars is it seems portions have gone down as of late. Three weeks ago we ordered over $100 in delivery and there was barely enough for six adults to have a small plate of food each half filled with rice. \n\nThen two days ago we picked up the large shrimp tom yum soup for $18.95. DH went in to get the soup and came out with a bag. Get home and it ends up being two containers. One is a clear small size soup container, filled. If I had of purchased this size, cost would have been $6.95. \nSecond is a small black/clear rectangular plastic container, half filled with the rest of the soup. If I had of poured the contents from the black/clear container into an empty clear small soup one, it would not have filled the container. Therefore I paid $18.95 for about $12 worth of soup and had I of purchased two small for $13.90 it would have been more soup for less money than what I paid and received. \n\nI will say the soup had about 10 shrimp in it so I was satisfied with that, however I expected more broth. That is not enough soup for 3-4 as it states in the menu. Don't think I'll be back anytime soon. | thai | 12,638 |
Restaurent name is: Native Grill & Wings
review: I really really want to love this place. It's close to home and the restaurant is beautiful. It's clean and the staff is pretty friendly. So what's the problem? The food. It's expensive, small portions and not that tasty. To top it off you now have to order wings in packs or pay extra per wing and with an order of 12 wings you only get two sauce choices when you used to be able to get whatever you wanted. We might be back for a beer and maybe an appetizer but I don't think we will eat a meal here again. When I first walked in we received no welcome or hello. The hosts was rude and short with us. The place was no even busy and it took the host awhile to seat us. Our waiter was great and met our needs very quickly. Pizza was not very good, but wings were great. If I come in during the day the service and food is first rate. \n\nThen...........I come in at 6:15 to eat dinner with my wife. The food tastes like oil. I had the club and there was sooooooooooooo much mayo it was dripping off the sandwich. \nOur waitress had time to giggle and laugh with the other servers but not tend to our table\n\nIf it was not for the great service we get normally I would not come back\n\nLot of other choices. Extra crispy Honey hot wings are the best and so are the loaded fries. My kiddos love them. It's kid friendly so you don't have to worry if they get a bit loud. I love this place! I went in one Friday evening my server was amazing! She checked on me frequently but not too frequently and she was so down to earth and such great customer service skills! I went in the next Friday night and same thing everyone I came in contact with had great customer service skills! The hostess remembered me, the waiter that brought out my food the first night said hi to me, and my first server came by my table and said hi. Great environment and crew! | american (new) | 12,639 |
Restaurent name is: China a Go Go
review: Yeah, fair prices, but don\'t get the spare ribs, the moo shu pork, the appetizer platter, or the chow mein noodles. Icky texture on the ribs and all were flavorless. The egg rolls were fine, though, just normal and not greasy. Same with the crab rangoons. So, hit or miss. Try at your own risk? Stick with their "Specialty Items"? Was disappointed... Fried rice was oily, to go container it was in looked nasty. Orange beef was ok, not the best I've had. Asked for sweet and sour fish, was not what i was expecting. Chow fun was good. Moo gu chicken was ok. Our first experience wasn't a good one. Sorry China a Go Go P.F. Changs this is not. Nor would I expect it to be. That said...\n\nNot sure why this place is still open or why people like it. It\'s absolutely disgusting! I seriously question the standards of those who deem this place great or even good. It\'s far from either. \n\nFood quality poor, its like they use the worst cuts of beef around for Mongolian Beef & try to pass it off as something edible & pleasing when its clearly not. Fried rice is that of cardboard. Everything is soupy, greasy, and just not appealing at all. If you want MONGOLIAN BEEF SOUP," this is your place. \n\nChop Stix is soo much better & up Bermuda at Silverado Ranch. \n\nSave your money, your stomach, and palate & avoid this place. I don\'t know about the other locations but this one could use a Kitchen Nightmares makeover. The owners would do well to pay attention to the bad reviews. They certainly are deserving of them. While doing my banking next door the smells that come from this restaurant are intoxicating. I finally decided to give in and try the Chinese food here. I was impressed with the wonderful lunch specials that they offer, so many choices. The prices are so very reasonable too. \n\nThe restaurant offers decor that is festive in the rich Chinese culture. The servers speak English but their primary language is a Chinese dialect. The staff is very friendly and even with the language barrier they understand the guest enough to get the order correct. Plus the menu is in color and has pictures that you can point to what you want. My order was prompt and made correctly the first time. \n\nI had the lunch special offerings of Beef and Broccoli which was delicious. And for extra an extra healthy choice later ordered the Steamed Veggies special too. I figure since I will not eat all of it, l will have something healthy to snack on later. Sure enough I did not eat it all. The helpings are fairly large too. The steamed veggies were just right. My experience here was smooth and will visit again. Count on that. Just moved to Vegas from LA where we have some great Chinese restaurants. Decided to try this place. When picking up the food wasn't greeted by any staff and attended by a rude woman at the counter. Wasn't a pleasant experience at all.\n\nFinally get home with the orange chicken, fried rice and noodles and honestly I can't even eat it. It's very bland and not good at all. I'm starving but I'd rather save the calories for something else. | chinese | 12,640 |
Restaurent name is: CCs Sweet Potato Pies
review: When my husband and I travel we always find out the state dessert and try it at the best place. Well CCs Pie and Cafe is hands down the best sweet potato pie in North Carolina! The pie is just the right consistency, with flaky crust (my favorite part) thats not too thick. If you're into options try her pecan pie too, simply divine! Ms CC is a Philly native and also offered famous Philly eats, philly cheese steaks and chili dogs, stop in for lunch and dessert. Omggg heavenly need to return soon. Mrs CC is the best. Such a sweet lady and makes omg the best cheesteaks woohoo. Again we really need to go soon again.\n\n(Update)\nLocale is closed but Mrs CC still sells all kinds of pies. Just give her a call. Not impressed. Called to see what time was opening. She said 11am. Drove 20 min out of my way to get a pie or 3. I arrived at opening time and sweet potatoe pies won't be ready for at least 45 more min????? So why are you opening at 11 if your not prepared for customers until 1145? And why would you say when I called your main product wouldnt be ready at 11am. I will never know if they are good or not because I won't be coming back. Great cheese steaks...as an business owner in Charlotte ..give it up...if you can't be there on posted hours you done your self in. ... I will never return... And stop telling friends of your quality...live and learn..good luck.. The best Philly Cheesesteak I have had in Charlotte since moving here. They use real amoroso rolls from up north. Strange mix pies and cheese steaks, but WELL worth the trip if you're in the mood for a taste of home. The sweet potato pies are awesome also. | american (traditional) | 12,641 |
Restaurent name is: Bistro Pointe-Claire
review: We stopped here during a road trip through Quebec just yesterday. We arrived at 11:30. There were only lunch items offered, no brunch. The vegetarian burger was quite good but my husband\'s fish and chips were drowned in oil and undercooked/doughy. The hostess was very blas\xc3\xa9. We waited inside for her (the place was desolate) for about 5 minutes. When she finally arrived she seemed like we were bothering her. We asked to sit on the porch and she gave us a stupid look and said, "Then just go outside and sit wherever," in a really IDGAF tone. \n\nThey were very understaffed. Once we were ready for the check it took us 10 minutes to flag someone down and another 10 minutes to get 3 boxes and the check. \n\nFor real? Find somewhere else. \nAlso, you\'d think you\'d get a water view being so close to the docks, but no luck. Yummy! Food was good, patio was pleasant. Love the heritage home that the bistro is located in. \n\nWe will be back to check out this bistro in the future This is fine dining with a classy rustic-chic experience.\n\nThe dishes were true delicacies. Not only in the chef's creative and skillful incorporation of subtleties and blends in both flavor and texture, but as well in the creation of presentations which both matches and augments the classy decor, architecture, and ambiance of the establishment. The building itself is a beautiful piece of historical architecture located in the beautiful Pointe-Claire. \n\nIf you want to try a menu where you'll find an experience of comfort, surprise, and intrigue with every bite, I recommend Bistro Pointe-Claire.\n\nMy compliments to the chef. The menu needs to be expanded. No pasta dishes. I found for 26$ the bistro platter was expensive. They should acknowledge it is for only two.\nService was good though. Atmosphere :\nWe went on a Friday evening, and the atmosphere was wonderful! The cozy lighting, pleasant music and nice decor all helped the place feel very intimate despite it being a full house.\nThe staff was incredibly polite, patient and helpful!\n\nMeal :\nOne of the meals we had ordered was the homemade sausages, which were incredible. They were the most flavourful, delicious sausages ever. We were later told by the chef that the meat will vary depending on the game meat available to them (wapiti, wild boar, etc.). Ours were wapiti sausages. Yum! \nWe also had a soup, and fish and chips; our orders were very beautifully presented and were very, very enjoyable. \n\nDessert :\nThe chocolate bourbon cake was warm, rich, and basically melted in the most satisfying way. \nThe goat cheesecake maintained a subtle flavour without being overwhelming in the least, pairing fluffiness and creaminess perfectly. \nBoth are a must, especially if you enjoy going out for dessert.\nFinally, don't hesitate to ask about their nice selection of wines! Each of us found something to our liking there. \n\nWe will definitely go again, and introduce others to this beautiful gem! | canadian (new) | 12,642 |
Restaurent name is: The Porch
review: Went for lunch with work people. Cute place...love all of the retro decor and the porch is a great space. Just too hot to sit out there at this time of year. \n\nI had the chicken tenders with potato chips, we also had an order of humus and a pretzel with cheese dip. First, the appetizers were ok...the hummus was fine and everyone enjoyed it. The pretzel was good, tender and salty and the cheese dip was really good with a mild beer flavor.\n\nMy tenders and chips were good. I really liked the homemade onion dip that was served with the chips and the chips themselves were excellent. Crunchy and just good. The tenders were good as well. The crust was not too crispy and the chicken inside was tender and juicy. I didn\'t care for the two dipping sauces that came with them so asked for the ranch, which was good.\n\nOthers had the wings, the truffle fries, mason chop salad, the protein bowl, and panini. The panini was more like a club sandwich with a trip layer...got an "ok" on that item. Truffle fries were good although one order was delivered stone cold and were sent back and replaced with hotter ones. All in all, everyone said their meals were ok, nothing spectacular.\n\nSorry...no pictures this time. Love this place, dog friendly, love the feel and the ability to eat outside. It's a nice little spot and been there several times. Highly recommend going there at least a few times before casting judgement. Cocktails could cost less, my only turn off. Came in last night for the first time and sat on the patio. Fun atmosphere, and nice set up with the tv and misters. Our server Jamie was very helpful and friendly! We enjoyed the speciality cocktails and wings. I will definitely be back this football season. Thanks Porch! I liked this cute place but did not love it. The bar itself was cute and fun with outdoor porch swings and games. I was not impressed with the staff who seemed to busy checking their phones to greet you at the door. We literally had to wait for the hostess to stop texting and acknowledge us. Pros: The Porch has a great location, fun games, cool looking decor, and a lot of space both inside and out. The con: they're still working out the kinks. The 2 dishes we've had have both been great but the servers and bartenders don't quiet have the experience to offer good service. Tables are often forgotten and a general sense of confusion hangs over the Porch. In the 3 different cocktails we've had they've yet to come through with anything halfway decent. On the bright side hopefully the staff will get more experience and management will figure it out. I'm sure the Porch will be an Arcadia mainstay, but for now they're not quite there yet. | american (new) | 12,643 |
Restaurent name is: Thai House Restaurant
review: Luv, luv this place. I am a huge thai food fanatic and have tried several establishments in the area. In my opinion for the cost, quantity, quality and service this place is outstanding. It is very small and tends to run out of tables especially around lunch time, but that has never stopped me from revisiting. If you like Thai food you will not be disappointed.. Stopped by for lunch and ordered a Thai tea and Spicy Eggplant Entre w/ Tofu, level 4 spice. \n\nThe ratio of Thai tea to milk was a little off with there being more milk than I preferred, but the spicy eggplant was excellent. Good flavor and the spiciness was just right. \n\nI'll definitely be back to try their sticky rice :) Whenever we visit my in-laws in Mesa we try to squeeze in a visit here. Even my wife, not a fan of Thai food, frequently suggests take out. My regular order starts with Tom Yum soup then the entr\xc3\xa9e varies: pad thai with shrimp yesterday, which I think will be repeated in future orders. I can also recommend any of their curries. I skipped the Thai iced tea yesterday, but that was only due to calorie count; also highly recommended After doing some Yelp research and asking about good Asian food in the area I decided to try Thai House and am very impressed! I ordered takeaway Pad Thai heat level 4, Vegetable eggrolls, and Mango w/rice. Pad Thai was really good and spicy, Egg Rolls were delicious and unique to any other egg rolls I have tried. Crispy outside with a airy medium layer which was welcome and unusual just as the clear dipping sauce is. The Mango with rice was perfect and very flavorful (I recommend eating the mango with rice in one bite). Prices are reasonable and for anyone. Very friendly staff and great Thai food. Used to really dig the food at the Thai House (6 years ago), but they\'ve gone downhill over the years. During our last visit, they "forgot" to put a few key ingredients into my Tom Kha soup... like the lemongrass and ginger. WTH?! I caught it, and the server seemed surprised that I caught it. Yeah, I cook, and I know the difference between sub-par Thai and authentic, even though I\'m a white girl.\n\nThe rest of our visit left us feeling like they could have cared less if we were there or not. (Yeah, I\'ll call you out, but I\'ll laugh about it and move on too!)\n\nI might give them another try sometime... but I wouldn\'t hold my breath. | thai | 12,644 |
Restaurent name is: Pizza Hut
review: The delivery in Pizza the Hutt is always slower than I'd like. However, the pizza is freaking delicious. Hot, cheesy pepperoniness of awesome with crust of cheesiness of awesome. I cry while eating it, thinking of the poor Gamorrean eaten by the Rancor in Return of the Jedi. He did squeal like a pig. Since this is the nearest pizza hut to our place we( me and my frnds) keep opting this when we like to eat light and a different tasty food. Buffalo chicken wings are too good. Even hot burning wings cudn't make me feel enuf spicy :P ( trust me my frnds were craving for a pop while they ate these , so better go with medium) but these are really good along with a pizza. Sometimes they give some deals which will be very worthy and the delivery time to house is jus so perfect on time.\n\nBut if u go to the business, u dont have much place to sit and dine. Very small place. So opting for home delivery is a better option. \n\nI wish this pizza hut wud provide ketchup along with pizza .And only pepsi products will be served for pop which I dont like as I dont find my fav coke in their freezer.\n\nPizza options are very limited. I think boston pizza has more varieties than this place. One of the only dine in Pizza Huts left in Calgary, its flaws stem from low volume. It always closes its dine in way too early, before the advertised time, and we've had the server vacuum while we were trying to eat. The food is delicious and the service is top notch, but it's hard to experience when every time you try to eat there, it's closed 2 hours early... This Pizza Hut used to offer buffets at lunch time (not sure if they still do), and although it sounds like good, clean pizza fun for $12 or so, it isn't. For whatever reason, Pizza Hut feels they don't have to make quality pizza for the buffet. They don't put as many toppings on and the crust seems to be made of cardboard. There's also a weird chemical taste, which troubles me.\n\nAnyway, they guys have to smarten up. Even their expensive pizza isn't as good as it used to be (skimping on ingredients again). I think a lot of people have already given up on the place and I have too. We ordered Pizza Hut last night, it was here quickly and that's about all that was good about it. We ordered 14 chicken bites (got 12), a large meat lovers with stuffed crust, which was maybe about 2mm thick and sadly, I'm NOT kidding! I took pics to prove it but can't seem to add them. We also ordered a second large Hawaiian pizza, for the deal which included two dips and 2Litre. The second pizza literally had a splash of tomato sauce on a thicker, more regular type crust. Multiple slices of it literally had 1-2 pieces of ham ONLY, but more pineapple and cheese, to cover up the missing ham? All this for $43. Total RIPOFF! Will not be purchasing Pizza Hut ever again. What happened to you guys?! You USED to be the best around when I was a kid. Disappointed:( | italian | 12,645 |
Restaurent name is: Il Fresco
review: This is a marvellous restaurant. We go often and always have a delicious meal for a decent price. Nice ambiance and lots of booths. Beautiful pizza and pasta dishes. \nGo as soon as you can! You won't regret it!! Great Italian pasta and delicious mushroom soup. Good price, I will get the stone pizza next time. First visit: really enjoyed the ravioli special (chicken, spinach, red cream sauce). Ravioli dough as good as my Maltese nunna used to make--can't get better than that! Sauce was perfect--not gluey like a certain other Italian pizzeria on Old Kingston Rd. Generous portions; attentive service. Husband thought his pizza was very good. Dinner for two with appetizer, dessert, tax and 20% tip $77. Site of now defunct Thai Indeed (much missed!). Happy that the new restaurant seems a good replacement. We'll definitely come back. Food was excellent and service was attentive. Portions were large and priced fairly. Great for sharing. Casual dining. Great for families. I used to visit this large room when it was another restaurant. The space has been updated and has a chic appearance. The menu is varied but the lunch selections are too limited. The wine list was reasonable and average prices. I thought that the food was somewhat overpriced and the quality didn't quite warrant. Lunch for two, with one small glass of wine and dessert was close to $80.00 with tip. Although the food was tasty and nicely prepared and presented, it's not a spot I'll return to regularly, cost being a factor. | italian | 12,646 |
Restaurent name is: Coach's Bottleshop & Grille
review: I really like this place. \n\nIt is a sports bar first and foremost. Many locals come and see Coach. I have talked to Coach a couple of times - he is a very social cat.\n\nThis is a place where you can watch any Pittsburgh Sporting event, have good food, and drinks. It is usually crowded.\n\nThe prices are reasonable. The vibe is really good. One of the reasons why I go back.\n\nThey have weekly food specials (Thursday $3 burgers). \n\nIf you are in the area, you should check it out if you are looking for a place to watch the game. \n\nService - Excellent - whether you are at a table or at the bar - the service has been great.\n\nPrice - very reasonable - Food and Drinks prices will keep me coming back if I want to watch a game and pay realistic prices (compare to a bottleshop).\n\nFood - It is okay - I would not come here to specifically dine. I would come here to meet friends share some wings and be social.\n\nEnvironment - The vibe is great. The bar area reminds me of a public house. I just think everyone either knows each other or knows Coach. Coach's is a great local hang out for my husband and I. The place is always clean. Tia is one of our favorite bartenders due to her excellent customer service and friendly attitude. The owner, John, is typically around and is always willing to chat with customers. As far as the food goes, the wings are some of the best that we have had. We typically get Cajun or old bay. The fries are really good and all of the appetizers that I've had are awesome. Definitely try the pickles or mozzarella sticks. The quesadillas are so good. Large portion, fresh, and cheesy. It's my go to here. Super happy hour appetizer specials. Great beer selection! Met up with some friends. We\'ve been going to coaches for over a year now and we Love the salads. But this visit was not so good. The salads for example, chix Ceasar, gyro, salmon ( $10-$15) or specialty salads no longer come with romaine lettuce or mixed greens. Waitress told us from now on it\'s all "ice berg" for all the salads! It\'s sad that the quality has gone and the portions have also, (didn\'t think we noticed coaches) down but hey the prices are the same. We won\'t be going back as we can get iceberg salads anywhere. Felt bad for waitress she was annoyed too. The bar is clean and the food is pretty decent for a bar. The daily specials with their food and drinks are a steal. Bringing your kids here is fine. They have a dining area in the back and accommodate the young. The prices are reasonable. The drinks are made well. They have plenty of TVs to watch the games on. The dining room is big enough to also accommodate larger parties. Check the website out to see what specials are going on for that day and/or week. They have a ladies evening(night) day on Thursday starting at 7p... They often have events to attend and buffets for them. Like I said. Check out their site. | american (new) | 12,647 |
Restaurent name is: Gorditas El Tio
review: We went here for early dinner after movies on a Saturday.\nI picked this place because I wanted Menudo (it is a huge bowl for less than $6)\nHubby got the carne asada fries, and he liked them. Huge mountain of fries topped with carne asada, cheese, guacamole and sour cream.\nDaughter had shrimp cocktail and cheese cake.\nShrimp cocktail was very good (I didn't taste it but she did like it a lot) and the cheesecake we all shared and it was so so... it was sweet, caramel like flavor, so all and all it was a nice dessert, but not much ofthe cheesecake flavor and consistency that we were expecting.\n\nWe will definitely be back, especially since I found this place looking for tripitas (I have not found many places that serve tripitas)\n\nHowever, the few times we have been there it has been a tad warm... so as the temperatures increase we will probably be ordering to go.\n\nStaff was very friendly. Not really a fan, would\'ve given three stars but the attitude from the staff shot down the third one. \n\nMy BF order four carne asada tacos and he ate all of them but said they weren\'t memorable. They had decent flavor but he had better from other nearby locations. He also commented on the lack of meat on a few of the tacos. \n\nI order a red chili burrito and the women rolled her eyes and repeated the order in Spanish which I said "Yes, thank you" to- So I don\'t know if she was rolling her eyes because of my language choice or the order but it was just rude. \n\nGetting home I took a bite into the burrito excited for some red goodness to find it was a rice, bean, cheese and green chili burrito. After her repeating the order back to me in Spanish, I ended up with the wrong order. Very frustrating, the burrito was decent but not what I wanted and I stopped eating it half way through. \n\nThe sauces they gave were tasty, but not going back and wasting my money on a restaurant that is rude and with only a handful of people in the restaurant they mess up orders. No thank you, I\'ll find another locally own restaurant to support. Very nasty carne asada served here in Mexico, Phoenix. The Mexican speaking cashier had to be substituted for an English speaking person midway through our order. This is not Trump country. Upon arrival home with carne asada burrito, I took three small bites before noticing an avalanche of fatty pieces and grizzle. It was pretty standard stuff for these type of places, so I actually took a major leap of faith, but was wrong. The carne ended up dumped out in the trash soon after that third bite. One white businessman was inside during lunch amongst a throng of Mexicans who apparently love fatty, grisly carne asada burritos. The best tacos and friendly service! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. This is the best & most authentic Mexican food in this area! I ordered a sope of Chile verde, gordita made of lengua, taco de tripitas. It was the best & freshest! Daughter ordered kids meal of 2 tacos & was a good size plate! She loved it too! | mexican | 12,648 |
Restaurent name is: Swiss Chalet Rotisserie & Grill
review: Prompt service and goof food. We order from there a lot but the odd time they'll forget an item. I really like their delivery drivers they're very fast and friendly We had Sara B. as our server and she was very kind, especially to our son. The place was slammed with lots of customers on a Friday night, right at supper, but we were seated quickly and our drinks and food came very fast. The food was tasty and was also reasonably priced -- a big win when dining as a family. Everyone at the place was really friendly and we were asked several times about how our food was and if we needed anything else. The front door greeter was also really nice and was a friendly and familiar face from the Chalet that used to be on Macleod Trail. We were very happy with our experience and will definitely be back. Food Quality: 3/5\nService: 2/5\nParking: 5/5\nKitchen Speed: 4/5\nDining Area: 3/5\nValue: 4/5\n\nI've always been a fan of the quarter chicken meal. Its (usually) a quick and easy dinner at a reasonable price. The dining area is quite dated but acceptable but the service is REALLY hit and miss at this location. Sometimes you get a server that prompt and helpful, sometimes you get the bitter person who doesn't give a crap whether you enjoy your meal or not. Now every restaurant is capable of having a good night when things go to plan but its the nights when things go wrong that a restaurant's management can show what difference good management can make. That didn't happen for us. We called ahead for pickup. They have a central call center that the number directs you to but the system was broken so you couldn't reach the call center. So we called the restaurant to place an order and they REFUSED to let us do so. Something about having to call the call center and they didn't care if the system was broken. Way to show agility management staff. Nothing like blindly following a broken process to show those management skills. Who cares about client service anymore anyways?!?!\n\nThe food (once we got it) was fresh, well cooked, and tasted nice. Went to dinner here with some friends this past Sunday. When we arrived it wasn't busy and we were seated very quickly. They had a special on , half or full rack ribs comes with free 1/4 chicken, which a few friends tried and enjoyed. I varied from my usual chicken pot pie because I had to try the new crispy ribs. \nThey certainly weren't as good as the regular ribs but they were still good. I know that all of their other food is good and tasty so I'm not knocking down any stars for that!\nThe food arrived very quickly, nice and hot. No complaints from anyone at the table. The waitress was very attentive even when it started to get busy later in the meal. Desert was excellent as always. \nThis is the cleanest Swiss Chalet location I have ever been to.\nCurrently they are holding some form of draw where if you order the special you can enter to win a Samsung tablet, I don't remember how long this is running for but it's still super cool! I really enjoy Swiss chalet so yummy the chicken is the best when you are wanting comfort food I don't really order anything else cause the other food isn't that great , but when you can dine for 2 and get a deal that's normally when I come ! So yummy | american (traditional) | 12,649 |
Restaurent name is: Fire
review: Most of the 5 star reviews here are for brunch. After our dinner last night, that makes sense. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't awful. Just really was not 30 bucks a plate good. \n\nThe atmosphere was nice. Not too dark, and they actually had the sense to put some sound-absorbing material on the high ceilings. Most places don't do this and it gets WAY too loud so I appreciated that. I did find it a bit weird that they're trying to have a real upscale type of place, but the waiters are still really casual and wearing jeans. But on to the food....\n\nWent with my husband and a friend of ours. They both got the shortrib. I was going to go for the trout but in the end, the grass-fed burger just sounded awesome and I couldn't pass it up. Well......I should have gone with the trout I think. \n\nFor me, a burger has to have good flavor ON ITS OWN before you add toppings. This was not really the case here. It was just ok. It was an extremely thick patty too and I couldn't really even taste the toppings because there was just so much meat in each bite. It wasn't balanced enough. It was also overcooked. No pink - completely well done which is not how I ordered it. So it was kind of dry and bland for me. The 'bun' was a bit different too. Very thin and crispy with a bunch of fennel cooked into the top. It wasn't really bad it just really didn't work with the extremely thick, overdone meat. If I cooked this in my backyard, it would have been good. But it wasn't close to good enough to be 21 dollars. \n\nThe shortrib was tender and did have a decent amount of flavor. The desserts we tried were also good but not great. The sticky toffee pudding cake Sean ordered wasn't really sticky or toffee. It reminded me of a muffin - it had that texture.\n\nAside from my burger, I can't really put my finger on it but I just wasn't that impressed with this place. When the bill comes to more than 120 dollars, It's nice to look at the check and think 'ah who cares, it was frickin' AMAZING!' I just didn't get that feeling. I might go back and try the brunch because both on Yelp and from friends, I've heard good things. Probably not for dinner again unless it's somebody else's idea. A+++\n\nFirst time here and we decided to come for brunch. It was busy!\n\nFood and drink were delicious. I had their Champagne Fire (cava, bitters, sugar cube, etc.) and my partner had their version of an amaretto sour. Both were great.\n\nWe started with the cinnamon sugar bread. It was pretty much naan coated in cinnamon sugar. Very good. For my entree I had the duck confit--served with grits, an egg, and arugula. The duck fell right off the bone (as it should) and the grits were cooked perfectly. My partner had the wagyu hash. We both were in love with our entrees and agreed they were the best brunch entrees we have had anywhere.\n\nFire is pretty affordable too. Four drinks, one starter, and two entrees all for $71. Not bad!\n\nThe best part? Doug Katz himself! Katz was actually in the dining room mingling with customers. He looked genuinely happy to be talking with everyone. He even refilled my partner's coffee! Never seen a chef do that!\n\nWill definitely be back to try the dinner menu. My husband and I dined her for our 20th anniversary this week. Easy reservation made through Reso. I appreciated that every person who talked with us said "Happy Anniversary!" Our server, Emilia, was fantastic! She is a true gem: personable, engaging, and doesn\'t miss a thing. \nDrinks: Hendricks gin and tonic with rose buds and English cucumber was solid. The Fire house sangria was the best I\'ve ever had.\nDinner: lamb with Indian slices was amazing. Husband earned the clean plate award for that dish. Lamb wasn\'t gamey at all and I may have dreams of having that again. I had the hangar steak with Smokey black beans, queso fritters and broccoli rabe. The smokiness in this dish really did it for me. Loved it! I did not enjoy the broccoli rave though, and it felt out of place in the dish. \nAfter determining we were sufficiently stuffed, we opted to get the birthday cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream to go. That cake make have been the most disappointing thing we had. It was so dry that it needed the ice cream to soften it up. I did not enjoy it and would not recommend at all. \nI will definitely patronize again, but steer clear of that particular dessert...and ask for Emilia because she rocked!!!! This place would be a nightmare for a PETA activist. I counted at least 4 fur coats while dining here. I felt a little under dressed with my shirt I got for 10 bucks cause there's a rip in it and my 1.99 thriftstore slippers that I try to pass off as shoes. Oh well. Not gonna let my low self-esteem stop me from getting an amazing meal. Went here for Sunday brunch. This is not a place where Saturday night partiers go to recover from hangovers. It looked like the afterchurch crowd, or for family get togethers. \nOur server was nice but you could tell he wanted us to order quickly. I felt like Ralphie in the Christmas Story when Santa keeps asking him what he wants and out of sheer anxiety he settles for tinker toys. Oooewww. I hear myself yelling out mocha. I don't drink coffee, let alone mochas. Shoot. As soon as I said it I wanted to change my answer but swoosh he was gone. Oh well. It actually wasn't too bad. It wasn't sweet at all which was nice and I rather enjoyed it. My friend had the fresh squeezed OJ but I didn't really think it tasted fresh squeezed. We shared the sticky bun and I had the egg sandwich while she had the fire benedict. The sticky bun was a perfect sharing size and had just the right amount of stickiness, not too sweet.\nI loved the egg sandwich and potatoes. The potatoes were greasy, salty and delicious. The bacon was thick and crispy. The clay bread tasted like naan so yup liked that too. The egg was actually the only part that was just ok. (I could live my life without ever eating an egg and be perfectly satisfied). I just started growing my adult tastebuds a few years ago after hating eggs for years but still am not a big fan of them. However, the server confidently stated it was one of the best on the menu and I pretty much did whatever he said.\nMy friend loved her fire benedict. I tried the arugala salad that came with it and it was awesome. I would definitely come back to try dinner. Our party of 6 was received cordially and on time.\nOur waitress came to take our drink orders returned with our drinks. One of the wines was "on the edge" but quickly replaced.\nFrom that point the waitress disappeared for a long time. \nOur food arrived and was excellent in all cases. \nOur checks were delivered and we had to ask for coffee.\nAt this price point $$$, the service should be impeccable. | american (new) | 12,650 |
Restaurent name is: Black Bear Diner
review: Almost didn't eat here because of the negative reviews. But being a restauranteur myself I had to give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm glad me & my family decided to stay. The service might not be the best but the food was amazing. My favorite when choosing breakfast is Chicken fried steak & pancakes. Boy o boy it was one of the best pancakes I've ever had & I've tried many. The chicken fried steak was well on point. We each sampled each other's plate & all was well. Definitely would be a place to go again on a special occasion. This place is terrible. Why do they make such a big deal about portion sizes when the burger basket is basically a Burger King size. Don't get me wrong, it's filling af, but not to the degree that they try and sell it to you and market it to you. Don't waste your money here. You are paying for the experience, and honestly, you can get the same amount of food at Burger King, same quality. The manager won't harass you for leaving a review on yelp and stare at you every time you walk by the establishment. The Burger King manager doesn't care. Black bears manager? Takes it personally and makes you feel sorry for having a bad experience. Too bad. \n\nIf you would like a place to hang out after Burger King, check out a coffee shop, go to the library, or take some yoga at RYK, right across the street. You will spend the same amount of money (because black bear is over priced for its portions), and you will feel social:-)) I was happy to hear a new location was closer to the Summerlin area. From the moment we walked in, with the cute wooden "Black Bear Family" greeting us in the parking lot. We then were welcomed by all the friendly staff. This location is brand new (renovated previous business space) and everything in the Black Bear Diner decor with wall murals and redwood decor throughout. The thing that made the dining experience special was everyone\'s willingness to serve including the hostess that welcomed us to our table, our waitress and all the wait staff. Our waitress, Jessica, was very warm and friendly and welcoming. She explained everything on the menu and pointed out her favorites. The menu was extensive home cooking type big meals with breakfast, lunch and dinner available all day! My Mom had the crusted salmon dinner and I had the beary chicken barbeque dinner. The cornbread rolls that came out with the nice salads were sweet and scrumptiously homemade tasting. I will come back just for these! What was a great ending to nice dining experience were our desserts we ate later at home. I had the apple cobbler and it was fantastic with oatmeal cinnamon topping and my Mom loved her pecan, praline caramel topped bread pudding. You will be pleasantly surprised at this location -- check it out! We recently had breakfast at Black Bear. After a prompt seating, Darian showed up with hot coffee and a beautiful smile. He knew the menu well and we quickly placed our order (only thing missing on the menu is grits!). Our food came quickly, huge portions, and tasted delicious. I was not fond of the biscuit - too large and too bland - next time I'll order toast. The chicken apple sausage was excellent. Darian checked on our table several times during the meal, presented our check promptly and got us on our way. A delightful dining experience. (And the bathroom was immaculate.) Definitely recommend this diner for breakfast! Here we are take 2 of coming to the new one with my soulmate. First experience bacon they served at dinner was from lunch. I was been offered Big Bear bucks that never came in the mail. So when my mom came to visit we came again then I told the manager that my big bear bus never came so she gave me 20 dollars in big bucks 2 that expire in 16 2 that expire in 2017. \n\nSo coming in today very hungry took 5 minutes to even get a drink. And that was from somebody that wasn't even our server took our order without a pen and didn't even get it right. order wasnt taken for 10 minutes and get my coffee , 30 minutes to find out that my food isn't even being cooked and now that it did it is rushed bread and sammich different temps and some nice grissle from the grill and no one is even come over to say we're really sorry about that your food's coming up right now. 40 mins now after writing this. Finally get my food. Thankfully I'm not allergic to tomato's that are hiding on my plate they left. Fries are half old half 3rd degree burn in my mouth. | american (traditional) | 12,651 |
Restaurent name is: Kilroy's
review: located inside a very dark & smoky bar it\'s actually quite unique. private boothes, and lots of seating, movie poster in every booth depict "kilroy" in each poster from godfather to the matrix to get shorty. very clean but very dead for dinner hours. less than 10 customers\ni\'m not sure you can say there was any service. there was 4 waitresses chatting amongst them selves. they did bring us menus,our food & drinks but they never bothered to ask how everything was & when she cme to bring the check instead of asking why there was a whole burger patty on the plate (if anything was wring with it) she simply asked if a doggy-bag was needed-heck no!!!\nburgers,fries and coleslaw that\'s all we asked for. the burgers were a little undercooked for some, the fries were crispy & salty(like old-skool mcd\'s fries) the cole slaw wasn\'t sweet but was rather good & fresh. there wasn\'t anything really special about the burgers-they weren\'t even charbroiled or anything-very greasy & who really eats a poung of "canned" mushrooms on 1/2 pound burger. the buns & sourdough were soggy because of the grease.\nkilroy\'s bar-restaurant was once known for what the food network called the "best hamburger in las vegas" \n\nthey must have visited back before the "smoking ban" and you couldn\'t taste the food. really nothing special-you think for a dive restaurant to survive in a dead bar you\'d have to have great food but apparently not here. the service was terrible-our waitress actually disappeared half way through dinner & we had to track her down for the check. servers were too busy being bored & gossiping.\n\nthe atmosphere in the diner was really cool but wasn\'t enough to save the day. \n\nthe menu was very limited & prices were high for the quality & quantity provided. there are way better places in town. \n\ni would not recommend kilroy\'s as the "best" burger-i wouldn\'t even say it\'s a good burger This place never fails to satisfy me. I have probably gone there over 20 times in the past few years. If you\'re a health nut, vegetarian, or generally hate delicious food, then you should probably skip this review. In fact, I\'m not really sure why you\'re checking out a review about a burger place. That being said...\n\nI am a person that tends to disregard the overall healthiness of the food in favor of evaluating food for its flavor. In that realm, Kilroy\'s hits it out of the ballpark. My standard order is a Western Bacon BBQ Cheeseburger (1/2 pound patty covered with shoestring onion rings, bacon, cheese, and doused in BBQ sauce), and I usually split an order of regular beer battered fries (which are amazing) with my friends. The burgers typically come with coleslaw and beans. The size of the ordered fries are Very Large - a "small" order would easily satisfy 2-3 people as a side option. Add some ranch, and it becomes a pretty stellar meal. Contrary to the beliefs of some other reviewers, I found the meat to be generally juicy and tender (FYI: Ordering your meat "well done" will typically give you a pretty non-juicy burger... I would recommend medium/medium rare).\n\nThe only caveat is that this place does not serve milkshakes. If they served a great milkshake, it probably would have gotten 5 stars. It doesn\'t charge for refills and I\'ve never had a problem with the service.\n\nBtw, I do believe it\'s changed locations, after nearly 2 decades in the same place. After all the great reviews of Kilroy\'s I decided to try them for lunch yesterday. I was disappointed with the "Best hamburger in Las Vegas". For $9.00 I got a burnt burger, a large bun, only a slice of tomato and lettuce leaf (nothing else). Not what I expected, I doubt I will be going back. I thought I\'d give this place a try after seeing their patty melt listed on some "50 Best Burgers" list that was on the Food Network\'s website. I got the patty melt, and my fiancee got the blue cheese burger. The burgers don\'t come with fries, but with a 1/2 pound patty I don\'t think any substantial sides are really necessary. I\'m sure some people think that the food is overpriced since it doesn\'t come with an enormous pile of french fries, but I like to pay for quality instead of quantity.\n\nMy patty melt was juicy and delicious, and it was nice to see a little bit of pink inside since I asked for it to be cooked to medium. "World\'s Greatest Hamburger"? No. It\'s also not the best burger available in the state of Nevada, regardless of what the Food Network wants me to think. However, I refuse to give a place one star because I think it\'s overrated. The burgers were excellent and I will be returning at some point in the future to try some of their other offerings. We got a kick out of the goofy movie posters on the wall, and we couldn\'t help but notice that every table in the place was full, presumably by people who had been there several times before and knew that it was a good place to go for a high-quality burger. Good stuff. Two stars because the staff was friendly and no bugs crawled onto my dish during dinner. That being said, I did not have the best burger in Las Vegas last night. Like some of the other negative reviews, the buger was flavorless and toppings were cold as was the bun. It was cooked to my requested doneness, but that's about it. My wife has been sick to her stomach since complete with chills and nausea. Coincidence?\n\nI stopped going to Kilroys a year ago when their wings disappointed me. I had them once, years ago and really enjoyed them. I ordered the 'nuclear' or 'atomic' or whatever their hottest wings were. They were flavorful and really hot. Even covered with crushed red pepper on the outside. Having a craving, we went back and their hottest wings were your garden variety wing. I asked the waitress what happened to the incredibly hot wings they used to have and she replied 'people thought they were too hot, so we knocked them down a bit.' Like most wing joints, they have 4 or 5 levels of heat. Do you really need to downgrade your level of heat for a clientele that can't handle it? Did some macho prick order them, start crying and his date laugh at him?\nIf you visit the west and want a great burger, go to Carl's Jr. | american (traditional) | 12,652 |
Restaurent name is: Ginza Korean & Japanese Restaurant
review: Pros: the food was edible, closer to Forbes than KG\n\nCons:\n-Waited about 5 minutes for a table (there were 2 busy tables in the restaurant)\n-Waited almost 10 minutes to order (same number of tables)\n-left the dirty dishes in front of us long after we had eaten both appetizer and main entree\n-spicy tuna had vinegar-ry gojuchang that took away from the tuna. i could've made this at home for a buck.\n-Dukk Guk tasted like they used left over funnel cake frying oil instead of sesame oil in the soup. \n-the bulgogi was incredibly salty. it was almost black with soy sauce and came on a sizzling platter with NO sizzle and mildly warm.\n-there was a fruit fly that just wouldn't leave us alone!\n-the rice was oversaturated and just weird. how can you get rice wrong?\n-the wait staff's clothes were dirt dirty dirty and the waitress kept lingering after she stopped by our table.\n-*sigh* Once again, I hate paying overprice for less-than-average korean food in da burgh. I should've walked those extra blocks... Okay I haven\'t been to Ginza in a couple years, but I was provoked to write a review after reading the reviews posted. \n\nFirst of all, Ginza, despite its Japanese name, is a Korean restaurant and you should really only order Korean food there. Many Korean restaurants in N. America will serve Japanese food such as sushi/sashimi.\n\nSecondly, there is absolutely nothing wrong w/ Sapporo in a can. In fact, Sapporo\'s can is a very distinctive part of their marketing. Canned beers stay fresher longer than bottled beers. And Sapporo\'s can has the distinction of not being made from aluminum, but what they call a "bi-metal" steel. If you go to Sapporo USA\'s website, they proudly display their beer in a can. \n\nThirdly, Jjamppong is not a Japanese dish nor is it a Korean dish. It falls under an unique subset of cuisine, which is Korean Chinese. If you go to any Chinese restaurant in Korea, you will find jjamppong. If you go to many Korean restaurants in N. America, you will also find jjamppong on the menu. \n\nFourthly, the Korean food here is okay. It\'s not the best Korean food in Pittsburgh, but the prices are okay and it is authentic. The service is quite friendly and good despite the dingy surroundings. The last time I went there, we took a rather large group (30 people) and they quite easily accommodated us.\n\nFinally, what does one really expect for Oakland? The food choices aren\'t so hot. I'm not sure why the previous person gave it two stars but I miss this place ever since I moved two years ago... It's got the best kim bap in the area maybe the only restaurant that sells kim bap.. the kimchee jigge is great.. beef bulgogi awesome and chicken teriyaki's superb! if you are looking for atmosphere, this wouldn't be the place, but it's definitely my favorite korean restaurant in pittsburgh hands down for the best food! What?? I have been missing this place ever since I left Pittsburgh. I even looked for it to write reviews here man... This place was one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Pittsburgh. It's family run and everyone's so friendly. One time the chili bean paste bottle exploded on my friend and I and we both got free Ginza tshirts!! hahah..see? I even remember it as a funny experience rather than a truamatizing one. Sundubu was okay. There was this BBQ pork dish that I really loved but I forgot what it's called. The recipe was given to the owner by the priest at the Korean Church in Shadyside. Ask about it. It's my all-time favorite.\n\nDon't order Sushi here tho. It's not very good. This is not the place to go for Japanese food. We used to get the fried ice cream all the time but after awhile, we got bored of it. Try it though if you haven't. I preferred the service here to the service at Sushi Kim, another Korean restaurant in the strip that some of my friends liked better. \n\nCom'on Ginza. Keep it up. I know you're good!! Not exactly cheap with dishes around $10, but my lunch of spicy pork belly, tofu, kimchee soup (Pork Belly Kimchi Jjigae mentioned in another review) was simply excellent. The three sides were tasty but between the soup and included rice on the side, I could have done without. \n\nAs others commented, service is nice and friendly if not exactly attentive (you may need to ask as opposed to being asked). | japanese | 12,653 |
Restaurent name is: Pizza Salerno
review: Have used for the past year. Drivers are always pleasant. I think they know we tip very well. Yesterday the pizza took 45 minutes to arrive and it was cold and tough! When we called to tell them, the person on the other end of the phone did not care. Looking for a new pizza outlet to use. It seems that they are busy enough to blow off good customers. As their indifference continues so will their decline in business. I really like their food, and they don't whine about taking/delivering orders, even if it's close to opening or closing time! What more could you ask for from a pizza place? I've ordered pizza from here before and it was just okay, it used to be better with different owners. Ordered last Saturday and should have called to complain. Ordered 2 pizzas with 2 toppings they were over an hour for delivery and they were terrible. One was sausage and onion there was barely any of either topping on it. The other was pepperoni mushroom which was a little better but not much both were pretty bad, too expensive and took way too long. I threw out the menu. This place is my "go to" delivery spot for Pizza and Wings all for around $20. If you live in USC or Bridgeville surrounding this is the best pizza around. Super yummy wings, only iffy thing was to maybe coat them more evenly cause it seemed like just poured the sauce on top. Still really good and a good size too, I didn't have any really tiny hot wings.\n\nI ordered the cinnamon sticks in the dessert section and got a hugely awesome portion! Yeah they smell awesome too.\n\nI ordered through grubhub and had fast service. :) | italian | 12,654 |
Restaurent name is: Rainforest Cafe
review: This franchise is very gimmicky, but it works. I've here twice, and the best part about it is the decor. Its decorated as if you're eating in the middle of the rainforest. They even have moving displays, and sometimes (at least in Florida) the lights turn off and your hear the sound of rain and thunder. Its really cool, quite an experience. The prices are high, but you have to pay for the atmosphere. I really recommend this place for anyone who can afford it. Its really cool.\n\nDerek I\'m probably a die-hard Rainforest Caf\xc3\xa9 fan.\nI just love it. The Yorkdale location more than the Niagara falls location (although I\'ve been to both many times since I was a preteen). I\'ve noticed the service and quality aren\'t as good as they used to be and sometimes its hit or miss. It is a tad overpriced but I do like the food and the atmosphere (gorillas beating on their chests, a crocodile in the front, elephants raising their trunks, butterflies flapping their wings, an aquarium filled with fish and the starry sky, yeah... I love it). Basing off my last experience, dinner on a Saturday night, I\'d say it was pretty good. We didn\'t have reservations and the wait was 35 minutes but I didn\'t care. I was in Yorkdale.. more time to shop, and the mall closes at 9 PM ON SATURDAY NIGHTS!!!\nWe shopped and came back, they initialed a sheet of paper and sent us to another line. I was confused at first because they gave us no instructions but the "tour guide" for the line was really nice and in less than five minutes we were seated. \nI have to say, the service was a little slow. I didn\'t mind because we got an appetizer, but if we had only ordered mains I know I would be starving during the wait.\n\nI ordered a strawberry daiquiri (with whipped cream!) $9, Mogambo shrimp pasta (my favourite) $23.99, and my boyfriend and I shared a dynamite shrimp appetizer (free when you check in!).\n\nThe strawberry daiquiri was delicious, I had to get it. They dynamite shrimp appetizer was really good, it was a shrimp dip with delicious deep fried chips. It had a distinct sweet flavour to it, it\'s something I would have again. The Mogambo shrimp pasta was pretty good, the only issue I had with it was that instead of the noodles they used to use (I think it was penne, maybe bowtie, probably penne...) were now replaced with spiral macaroni. I did not like that. I will specifically ask for penne next time.\nThe sauce was good-a little thinner than I remembered, there was lots of shrimp, and the sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms were good.\nOur server was friendly and somewhat attentive (it was busy) and the manager came by to see how our meal was.\nI had a great dinner and a great experience. I know I\'ll be back :). Overpriced food in an amazing atmosphere (if you're imaginatively-inclined). Yes, the animatronic animals are outdated but they're still fun, as is the thunderstorm. I really enjoyed the fountain & statue of Atlas, though I'm not sure what he has to do with the rainforest or its animals. \n\nThe food is nothing special and costs 50% more than anywhere else. Except for their Volcano desert, which is AMAZING. For $16 you get a giant mountain of brownies and ice cream. \n\nMy suggestion is to have dinner in the Yorkdale food court, and go to Rainforest for their Volcano desert. Havent been here in ages. This place has sort of lost the appeal it once had for me. As a kid this place was the bomb! Loved the thunderstorm that happened like every half hour, and all the cool robotic animals...But now its just very cliche and plain I find, the food is mediocre, and everything seems like a cheap gimmick. Like c'mon cups with flashy lights in them? Maybe im just too old for this place...So if your a kid, try it out! And if you're an adult...You've been warned! It\'s a hit or a miss. I personally like the atmosphere this place has to offer: automatronic gorillas (with sound effects), simulated thunderstorms, large aquariums with tropical fish in them, indoor water fountain, and decorated ceiling to simulate stars. This business has definitely spent a lot of time and money on the decor and mood of the place. Don\'t forget to bring a camera!\n\nThe target audience is mainly for kids, but I go here now and then with my friends. With that said, if you don\'t like kids (or eat around them), this isn\'t the place for you.\n\nAside from the great decor and mood it sets, the other best thing this restaurant has to offer is their chocolate volcano cake. It\'s a dessert served to you with the waiter/waitress yelling out, "volcano," stretching out each syllable until the dessert reaches your table. There\'s a sparkler on top (again, don\'t forget to bring your camera!), which is removed by the waiter/waitress when it\'s completely used up. The dessert itself has 3 large elongated pieces of brownie forming a "tent" with chocolate syrup running down the sides. In that "tent" has some scoops of vanilla ice cream. On top of that "tent" is whipped cream. This dessert is good to share between 3-5 adults.\n\nI hardly ever buy drinks whenever I eat out so I can\'t comment on that.\n\nI\'ve had their burgers, fries, and some seafood (like salmon and shrimp). They\'re ok. Not bad, but also not the best. I find this place a bit pricey, but keep in mind that you\'re not just paying for the food you eat, but also the decoration around you! \n\nIt\'s a fun restaurant! | american (traditional) | 12,655 |
Restaurent name is: Cafe Americano
review: I have ate here twice, once for breakfast and this time for dinner. I will always remember two things about it, overpriced and the food isn't that great. It's basically a 24-hour tourist trap. And, it's independently owned so you won't get any Total Rewards credits for eating here. The bill was about $75 (including tip) for one beer and two hamburgers. The hamburgers did come with french fries that were OK. I ordered my burger medium and it came out well done. I only ate half of it. And, seriously when I eat there are maybe two crumbs left on a plate. The service wasn't great either. Overall, save your money and try a different restaurant. There are plenty to choose from in Vegas! The food was incredibly expensive and you do not get what you pay for. I ordered the huevos rancheros which was very bland and it was not hot. I also order the French toast as dessert and I did find that much more enjoyable then the rancheros but would probably never order it again. My friends ordered the steak and eggs and they said the steak was very dry and their skillets also did not come out hot. I'd rather eat breakfast at Starbucks for 1/3 the price and their breakfast sandwiches actually come out hot. Love this place, if you like chicken then you need to try chicken sandwich, always a lot of people there, they have full bar and nice cocktails. The food was great, but too pricey. We asked for one extra English muffin and we were charged 9 dollars only for that. WOW with just 2 checkins I became a regular! \n\nCafe Americano is located in Caesar in Vegas. \n\nThe service was great! On the 1st visit they were a bit understaffed but they were so nice it was easy to deal with the wait. The 2nd visit was at the bar which is a bit odd as it's technically in the hotel lobby. \n\nTwo ladies at the table next to me were splitting the eggs bene with the caper hollandaise. They both warned me that the sauce was a bit peppery but they were working on eating it via attempting to separate yolk from sauce. The waiter got wind of their issue and had the kitchen remake the order with the milder hollandaise. The ladies were shocked as they didn't request a refire. THAT'S GREAT SERVICE!!!!!\n\nBreakfast runs between $25-30 dollars but the portions are large enough to share. They will even divide the entree onto 2 plates. Bloody Mary's runs $15 and coffee is $5. This is not a cheap place to dine. Total Rewards comps are welcomed. \n\nI'd go back the next time I'm in Vegas but I hope I have comps or winning to pay the bill! | american (new) | 12,656 |
Restaurent name is: Brewskes Bar & Grille
review: Since this place was in my (new) neighborhood & on the recommendation of a friend, I decided to check it out. It has become my 'Cheers.' The bartenders are friendly. The service is great. I'm glad I finally stopped by. The menu is adequate and tasty. The kitchen is open late too. I was told they are under new management (about the last 2 months). It certainly shows. This is a hidden gem in Spring Valley. I've only been here once, but the reviews are pretty accurate. Ok to drink but the service for food is not so great. The competition in this area is big so you'd think they try harder but nope. Service has gotten much better. I can't comment on the draft beer since I ordered bottle beer. Fool me once. The burger I ordered was pretty good. I've never come here at night so I can't comment on the crowd, but it looks and smells clean which is pretty good for an older bar that allows smoking. They really need wifi. I mean EVERYPLACE has free wifi even McDonald's. Met some nice customers, the boss was nice. Bartenders were cool. Had the French toast. Very filling. The bartenders friendly and the atmosphere is very local friendly. It's nice to be able to go to a spot with very little to no drama | american (traditional) | 12,657 |
Restaurent name is: El Pollo Loco
review: Dirty! That about sums this place up. Walked into this place because I was in the area and I had not been to one of these in years. The food is okay, but once I had ordered my meal, I began to notice how dirty the place was. The floors had dirt stains on them and no one had mopped up. There was a small bucket sitting on the service counter that had a rag in it an some type of cleaning solution for wiping down the tables. The trash cans behind the counter were viewable and they were full and had trash laying on the floor around them, and the final things I noticed were the condiments bar and the drink area were dirty and had not been wiped up in quite awhile.\nStay away from this place! I spent some time in AZ over the last few weeks and I must say that I am definitely a fan. When I walked in I didn't really expect much but after ordering the chicken I was convinced that they honestly have some of the tastiest chicken I have ever had at a fast food joint. An A Plus for a quick and healthy meal. I generally enjoy Pollo Loco but this location changed that. Granted, it was my first visit here so maybe it was an isolated case (hopefully.) Nonetheless, I have to speak up about how horrible my experience was. The people's were okay but NOT the food. There's was nothing fresh. The chicken was edible but all the sides and fixings were old and stale. Sorry, I won't be coming back here. I'd rather eat at taco stand down the street. First time here and the crew checked on us periodically until we figured what, of the great menu, we wanted. \n\n1/2 chicken with rice and tortillas for me, giant chicken salad for her. Fresh, hot, we'll seasoned-great salsa bar selection too. \n\nWe'll be back this is our new favorite chicken joint! Usually I enjoy the food from El Pollo Loco. I always get excited when I see one. Decided to try something new the shrimp avocado plate was very disappointed when I had crunchy rice was not cooked right the shrimp and other stuff was great. | mexican | 12,658 |
Restaurent name is: Agave
review: We've been to Agave a few times since it opened. It's not the best mexican restaurant in town, but it's better than most. We've always had good service, and we've always enjoyed the food. It is pricey, though, so the food and service should be good. Last night we sat on the patio, right beside one of their gaslog kivas. We like how th patio is below grade, so you can't see the parking lot. It is probably the best restaurant patio on the west side. We were immediately served complimentary chips and salsa, but the chips were stale. We didn't complain until we decided to order quacamole, which was delicious, and fresher chips were brought without complaint. Our server had too many tables, but she worked hard and took good care of us. Agave needs to step up and get cloth dinner napkins. The pitiful, cheap paper ones they use are inferior to most fast food places. We've always enjoyed the decor at Agave, and we still do. Nice place, nice patio. Go and enjoy! Came here recently on a Saturday night since I was staying across the street at Red Rock. I was craving Mexican food only to find out the Cabo Cantina inside Red Rock is closed and will be turning into a Lucielle's BBQ in the future. Therefore we decided to head over to Agave.\n\nOn a Saturday night I put in a reservation for 8 through Opentable and ended up arriving 45 minutes early. The hostess told us no problem and sat us down within 5 minutes. \n\nThe one thing that stood out at Agave was that the chips and salsa was already on the table before we were seated. This is a welcome sight from some Mexican restaurants where you have to wait for a server before and chips and salsa is served. The other thing is there are 3 different types of salsa served with the chips (mild, pecante and a green).\n\nMy party ordered a pitcher of the Agave Margarita and it was just so-so. It didn't stand out at all. We passed on ordering a second pitcher.\n\nIn terms of the food, I ordered a Machacha burrito and it was delicious. The shredded beef wasn't dry and was cooked just right. My wife had the fajitas and the only complaint she had was that the Spanish rice was kind of bland, a little too starchy.\n\nOverall, the service was good, the food was good, the Margaritas could use some help and the prices are a little high for Mexican food ($12-$20). \n\n4 stars Extremely poor service. Tried to charge us for dinner prices during lunch. Didn't apologize wen we had to point out the error. Pretty restaurant but that's it. Won't return. Service was bad. Didn't have Bohemia beer (hello, is this a high-end Mexican restaurant, amigo?). And the kitchen had run out of Duck tacos at 6 pm. One star because the girls at the hostess stand were cute and very sweet. Lindo Michoacan is better authentic Mexican. Dos Caminos is better pretentious Mexican. I need a new favorite mexican restaurant, everyone goes off about agave....I was soo dissapointed. First off the atmosphere was cool and the staff seemed nice. After we sat it all went down. The Guy took like 15 min getting our drinks, we ordered a burrito to split and an appitizer of guacamole.we got no chips...what kinda Mexican place doesn't serve chips before a meal? We finally got our burrito with no extra plate...the plate was so tiny we Made a mess..then after weweredone theybrought our guacamole..with no chips....how do we eat it with no chips? They did take it off the black, but didn't refill our drinks at all the whole meal and we had to get up to pay cause our waiter never came back.....and the food....nothing even that good...the red sauce tasted Like pizza sauce....ewww...ill never go back....sigh back to looking for a good Mexican restaurant. ...agave...booooooo | mexican | 12,659 |
Restaurent name is: Applebee's
review: Came in to order curbside togo, got the soup of the day and a full size salad. The soup was broccoli cheddar, when I received the cup, it was filled a little over halfway, $3.29 for literally 1c. size of room temperature thick soup where some of the cheese is not even melted. Also another disappointment was there was ok spoon provided in our bag, just forks. Not very helpful, and sadly I have no spoons at our house since we are currently in the process of moving. And to top it off, some of the lettuce in the salad I ordered was brown. I recommend skipping this one. Poor service at bar as usual for Applebee's.\n\nHappy hour wings are a decent value.\n\nBar pours are light.\n\nDead in the bar. I must say, Applebee's has really stepped up their game lately! I've been to 2 of their locations in the past few months and haven't been disappointed at all. Their HH is awesome and they have re-vamped their menu. The drink menu is also really good. I specifically enjoy the white peach sangria and you can't go wrong with a $3 20 oz beer on draft. I literally live around the corner from this location and have visited several times (carside to go included). The customer service is quite wonderful; everyone is very friendly and helpful. The carside to go is super convenient and fast so if you're in a hurry or don't want to eat inside, get it to go. The 2 for $20 is also a nice option (but limited) if you're wanting to eat out for less. Overall, 5 stars to Applebee's and this location especially! My husband and I had lunch here for the first time in years. The service was good and so was the food. We enjoyed the new lunch combos. We are looking forward to trying them all. We will definitely be back in the near future. When you have the munchies and everywhere else is closed this is the hot spot. Outside of that I probably wouldn't come to Applebee's. It's not bad by any means but it's not a choice I consider until desperation sets it. The nachos are on point for sure. They aren't as good as the nachos of 2005 but they are still pretty good. The people here are always friendly and the restaurant is always clean. | american (traditional) | 12,660 |
Restaurent name is: Burtons Grill & Bar of Charlotte
review: We happened on Burtons after a movie and were delighted with the space and equally with the food. Eating light is easy with the variety of salads; we had the Mediterranean salad and the Cobb Salad and were pleased with both.\n\nThe space is large and inviting with lots of windows and mirrors. Quality materials and interesting modern art mix is pleasing. Contrary to another review, we were pleased with theTVs being in the bar area and since we couldn't hear them we were fine. On leaving we walked near the bar and found it to be ample for single (or multiple) dining. \n\nWe picked out several things to try next time. What I love about Burton's: I have several family members with celiac, and it's great to be able to go to a restaurant with them where they won't have to worry about food preparation procedures and cross-contamination. They get very excited that they can order off the entire menu, instead of being limited to the one gluten-free item on the menu like at most restaurants. The gluten-free fries are awesome!\n\nWhat I don't love about Burton's: the menu rarely changes and even when it does, it's just a few items typically on the specials that change. It can get old eating the same few items every time. Some of the dishes (especially the risotto and pasta dishes) are pretty bland. Love this place! The food is delicious, the drink options are plenty, it's clean and pretty inside and the staff is wonderful. We are constantly and incredibly impressed with how they handle food allergies! Came here on two separate occasions and it appears that they are consistent. Once to try them out and I say at the bar. The last time I say a booth and dinned. They have plenty of parking in the shared lot. Upon entering I was greeted and seated. Staff placed orders on a hand held extrinsic device. They followed my recommendations. I noticed a trend. Their management and staff is has a standard. I quite enjoyed watching the management operate with gloves at the area where food went out and inspecting each plate. Not all restaurants follow such standards. My meal was great and I had he maple chicken sandwich with the superfood salad. I liked both. My friend and I shared the wings which were nice. I like the menu it has several offerings. The only note I have is that you have to clarify with the bar to not put a splash of sprite or soda in your beverage. Follow the ingredients on the menu and do not go astray. Most places have this problem which is why I sit at the bar if ordering drinks or have to state to the waiter specific requests of no soda as a topper. Once it's clearly stated the drinks were nice. I've only been here to try the reuben, but after that experience I'm eager to get back and try some of the more serious food on the menu.\n\nAs I continued journeying around Charlotte to try all of the reubens, I stopped by a place I had been looking forward to trying as Burton's is the most upscale restaurant with a reuben on the menu. The sandwich was described as a delicious reuben, and it did not disappoint. From a flavor standpoint, Burton's reuben was one of the best of the approximately 30 I've tried around the Queen City. The corned beef was very unique - full of flavor and almost melted in your mouth. Very different than the corned beef I had become accustomed to in a very positive way. It set the sandwich apart as the rest of the sandwich was pretty average (but corned beef is the most important part to a reuben so that's OK!). The bread was well crisped but just standard rye, the cheese was good but not very plentiful, and the proportions (aside from the cheese) were spot on. The one miss was the kraut - it was clearly added to the griddle along with the corned beef. This dries the kraut and leads to an unpleasant stringy texture, and if this hadn't been the case the reuben would have been one of the best 3 in Charlotte. | american (new) | 12,661 |
Restaurent name is: First Watch
review: Except for the annoying birds ready to pounce.... I loved the patio vibe and open-air feel while enjoying our delicious breakfast. I had the Floridian French toast and my husband ordered the regular one. Mine came topped with fresh kiwi, strawberry and banana slices and was scrumptious! It was served with a side fruit compote ...that was a bit tart but tasty. I spent extra and ordered real maple syrup! Well worth it.\n\nMy husband's French toast was sprinkled with confectioners sugar and also had the compote on the side. He opted to forgo the syrup and just spread the compote on top.\n\nGreat meal, excellent service. Will definitely return!\n\nOne last note - we used a BOGO mailer. They actually gave us credit for the higher of the two entrees! Nice way to welcome new customers. Thank you! Great restaurant layout, very clean. Friendly staff and very good service with recommendations on menu were on point. Lots of heathy options. Portions are perfect, not too big not too petite. Overall great experience Nice cosy breakfast and lunch place. Very clean and pleasant to dine in. Food is yummy; healthy options as well. Had a Bacado omelette for lunch today. Not only is it the best, but First Watch now is sensitive to food allergies. They substituted corn tortillas for the wheat bread that typically accompanies breakfast. Nice staff and very clean surrounds. They won me back. This place has become our favorite local breakfast spot. Food has been great every time. | american (traditional) | 12,662 |
Restaurent name is: Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers
review: My kids love it here! It always busy but never a long wait that's always a plus when you have a bunch of hungry children. They call you by name and bring your food to the table. Everyone greets you as you walk in the door. I love great customer service!!! I repeated my order several times to the employees there, even through the pick up window, and they still placed my order wrong. They need to be retrained and learn how to let customers finish ordering before speaking over them. I mean, it's Las Vegas. I shouldn't have expected anything better lol. I have to say that canes has the best chicken fingers and sauce, their also have awesome sweet tea! Over 30 min in drive thru to realize the food i received was over cooked and disgusting. Love the Chicken Fingers, Cain Sauce and the Texas Toast! | american (traditional) | 12,663 |
Restaurent name is: Spanish Fly
review: I went there on a Friday night with a friend of mine for Happy Hour. We both loved the atmosphere, food and drinks were great, staff was very friendly. It was pretty slow for a Friday night but they had some good Happy Hour specials. Wish some of their food was on the Happy Hour special. \n\nI ended up going back Saturday night with a group of people. Bad idea! The place was very busy but we were all having a great time. The two bars up front were pretty busy so a few of us decided to go to the bar in the back by the pool to get a second round of drinks since it wasn\'t as busy back there. There was only one person waiting to order drinks from the bartender and a few other people around us. We sat down at the bar and waited for the bartender to come up to us. We sat there for about 10 minutes trying to make contact with her but she continued to ignore us. Finally, she came around and one of my friend\'s said "Excuse me, we\'ve been waiting 10 minutes, can we order a drink please?" She was a total bitch and responded back nasty to my friend and said basically that she did not give a shit how long we were waiting. She turns to me and asks me what we want and I tell her and she looks at me at says "That\'s it?" We sit there another minute in disgust waiting for our drinks and she still hasn\'t started to make it so we start to walk away. One of our friend\'s asks why we don\'t have our drinks and we tell him what happened. He walks up to her and asks where our drinks are and she says "F**k you." I could not believe this. I was so angry and pissed off that someone could treat their customers like this. We also heard her being rude to another customer. \n\nI will never go back there again. My experience with a rude nasty bartender has put a bad taste in my mouth for that place and next time will be spending my money elsewhere. I enjoyed Spanish Fly on Cinco De Mayo. I made a new facebook friend and everyone there was friendly. \n\nMy Buddy who is gay even had a good time there with the eye candy and friendly atmosphere. He said it was the most fun he's ever had at a straight club.\n\nIts major drawback is its dance floor. When you get past the reception the first thing you do is walk onto the dance floor. This is good if you're there to jump right into the groove but bad if you'd like to get past the crowd and sit by the pool. \n\nHonestly, the club is only special because of it's pool. The music is ok, the drinks are good, seating is plentiful and comfortable, and the eye candy is a mix of young and old. I personally think it's a great place to relax and drink after a long day. The idea of a bar with a pool is a great idea. However Spanish Fly could do better. I've been to this location twice, during the day and a night visit. I was not impressed. At night no one is allowed in the pool so everyone is cramped around the deck. This makes it very tricky walking around the pool. During the day its a whole other story. I am impressed with the giant menu and so many food options available. The drink menu was a great selection too! I am happy that they did keep the ginormous drinks that Drift use to carry. My first impression of Spanish Fly is that you need a tattoo to get through the door and not just any ordinary tattoo. You need a giant tribal tattoo or a full sleeve! This place does get packed. If you don't have a day bed or cabana, I recommend you get there early to claim a spot. \n\nOK food and drinks but a little over priced. The service was OK. Its a great place for people watching. Spanish fly opened where the old Drift was, and I gotta say that the minute you walk in you feel like you are on vacation. The palm trees, the colorful mosaic tiles, fruity cocktails and pool area complete with a water fall take you away from your day to day routine. There are a few tables set up, as well as ample seating in the bar areas, and lets not forget the cabanas! \n\nMy friends and I received great customer service from the bartenders, and when we moved over to check out the pool area the servers were just as attentive. The menu provided an array of cocktails that were both tempting and seemingly refreshing, as well as a variety of food items. Im sure this place will be busy for the summer pool party season. Id like to start of this review by saying I am a Vegas local and attend pool parties in Vegaswhenever I get the chance. I absolutely loved this place, I cant tell you enough. No lines, No cover (not that I've ever paid one), Decent Music, and really freaking BEAUTIFUL people. The water was clear which is more then nice if you have ever gone to Rehab at the Hard Rock. The Cabanas looked cozy and comfortable, and the drinks were good. My favorite part about my time there was people watching, everyone there was looking there best but I couldn't believe how everyone has tattoos, most of them not even artful or nice looking. The amount of hearts, stars and tribal designs was a bit overwhelming. Overall I had a great time, but hey, that could have just been the company. | mexican | 12,664 |
Restaurent name is: Dish Function All Chefs
review: The kitchen & the bar are run separate from each other. There are a couple tables outside and a couple inside. The rest is bar seating. Service was great from both the kitchen & bar. Prices are also really reasonable from both. \n\nOrdered zucchini fries with marinara. I guess they usually serve them with ranch but they were out of ranch. Personally, I preferred them with the marinara. They were pretty tasty & there was a lot of them. 13 I think. My husband got the juicy Lucy. It had micro greens on it, cheese on top & a little inside, & tomato. He said it was tasty & would get it again. I got the caprese grilled cheese. The flavor was really good but it was incredibly hard to eat. Dare I say it had too much cheese???? Cheese & tomatoes were oozing out everywhere making the bread really soggy. I couldn't pick it up like a sandwich. I could of used a fork & knife. That's not how it like to eat a grilled cheese. Not something I'd get again. Too bad since it did taste good. Total food bill was just under $20. Can't beat that! I'm bummed to see that Dish Functional All Chefs has closed! The punny name and juicy Lucy burgers brought me in, but this location just does not seem to be conducive to consistent business. Staff were friendly when I visited and it seemed they tried several promotions and specials to bring in traffic (rice bowl Wednesdays and Vegan Sundays!) but this is the second solid spot to utilize the kitchen and not be able to stay open. I've heard rumor the staff are working on a different menu and planning to reopen, and I'm crossing my fingers it's true while simultaneously kicking myself for not revisiting when I had the chance. I HAD A BURGER! \n\nIt was everything i hoped it would be. I had the guy (sorry didn\'t get name) make me whatever he would eat, which turned out to be a mushroom swiss burger. When he asked if i wanted fries, i asked if he would have eaten it with fries and he didn\'t bring me any (nice to know hes not just trying to sell me something). The burger was a nice size, well built, and looked very tasty just sitting there. On first bite i was so happy inside, and continued to inhale the rest of it. The meat was of quality, the mushrooms cut "meaty" and of substance, with cheese that was very melty and not processed tasting, finished with a basic soft white bun. It was so good in fact that i went back and asked the gentleman to make me some more food please. When asked what i want, the reply was "What would you have after that?" Please just make me that, and out came some stuffed peppers. 3 peppers total, with cheese and bacon stuffed in them....whoa so serious. I don\'t even like stuffed peppers and I crushed those as well, although not as good as the burger they were still something i would order a second time after a burger of course. The atmosphere is definitely divey, sharing a space with the bar but the people were welcoming, smiles and good times had by all this Thursday evening about 10pm or so. Ill be back for another, maybe tonight even. Great food!! Recommend to everyone!! Chef Daniel and his team prepare great food!! Love the burgers and fries. My kids enjoyed it also. Can't wait for more food options. I love the food that Chef Daniel serves. Him and his team bring something different to the table. They are a team of very talented crazy different individuals that come together and make a masterpiece. I definitely recommend them to your catering needs. I wish they had a restaurant that I can eat at on a regular basis . | american (new) | 12,665 |
Restaurent name is: Friends Sports Bar and Grill
review: SCIENCE!\n\nTrivia is on Tuesdays at 8pm. Guess the only times I've been to Friends?\n\nTuesdays at 8pm. George from Team Trivia hosts a well attended, difficult trivia night that awards prizes to Friends for the top 3 teams. \n\nThere is a decent selection of beer & your typical bar food plus the awesome potato smiles. Their daily specials on beer are sweet. This was a good place at one time not sure what happen manager change or what. The waitress was the worst I ever seen was very short when spoke to and rude.The drink ordered was wrong and not mixed well... even the food was mediocre... sure hope this was just a bad day and not the norm This is not the worst place I have ever been but its pretty close. My mother and I went there for lunch and she order The shrimp basket the shrimp was not peeled and yes it was fried wirh the peeling attached. Very sickening. I ordered pattie melt with fries, if i would have threw that burger pattie it would of broken to a million pieces. It was burnt to a crisp, my soda was flat. The kitchen staff looked as if they had scabies. I bet their sweat was all over the food they was preparing. I wish I would have seen them befor I ordered my food. The bathroom was disgusting. I would not recommend this place to anyone but the health dept!! Great place!! Very friendly owners and staff. Patio is a great place to hang during good weather. Food is great and the chicken nachos rock\n**Please note**. Any reviews before Aug 2010 refer to the place having a different name and different owners. I still give this place 3 stars, but after eating lunch here & hanging out on the patio, it's more of a high 3 than a low 3. The food is actually really good, don't judge by the look and/or smell of the place when you walk in. I had a burger my 1st lunch visit, & was skeptical about paying around $8 for a burger from a bar. But wow, add me into the completely surprised category, this burger was huge & not a frozen patty. Pretty sure they make their own burgers & it shows. My 2nd lunch visit I had a Buffalo Chicken wrap & it too shocked me with how good it was. It didn't reach the burger's level, but still intrigued me to eat here more often. Finally, the best side item I've had are the fried green beans; why have I never had these before? They blew me away as well.\n\nSo other than for some reason everyone staring at my friends & I when we enter, the food will shock you & you can have a pretty good time out in their patio area (even though no one seems to hang out there). The bar area still has a distinct smell (get rid of the carpet) & the atmosphere is still a little lacking, but Bentley's is starting to grow on me for a lunch or dinner visit. | american (traditional) | 12,666 |
Restaurent name is: Angies New York Style Pizzeria
review: Was looking forward to trying their food.\n\nPlaced an order for delivery. Order was cancelled with no explanation. The most delicious pepperoni roll I've ever had! Their slices are HUGE and delicious. I want to dip everything in their creamy Italian dressing. They're always so pleasant and accommodating. Its ok these days you have to take a pizza to a new level not the same as everyone else is selling. We tried this a couple times due to closest to our home. I just wished it had more quality too the taste and consistency. But we will give them another try and hope their product improves. Great family owned pizza restaurant, the pizza dough is always fresh and hand tossed toppingd are fresh and the prices are reasonable. The answer salad that have is delicous and a nice twist on the usual salad, comes with meatballs, fries and there amazing house made creamy italian dressing. I live just down the steet from them and have been eating there pizza for the last 6 years and have pretty much tried everything on there menu and have not been disappointed yet. We order here all the time, great food and super nice staff. Delivery pretty quick and ordering online is better! | italian | 12,667 |
Restaurent name is: HK Star
review: I was craving some good Chinese food and I knew that the restaurant scene in LV caters to all of the out-of-town visitors, so I was hoping to find a place like HK.\n\nLocated in a strip mall in the oriental part of town (Chinatown?), I would not have come here unless it was recommended. The outside, so often misleading, would lead one to believe this is another mediocre Chinese-American restaurant. \n\nThe service was haphazard and spotty, no doubt due to the language barrier and me using my pigeon-talk mixture of the little Cantonese I retained from childhood and simple english.\n\nWe did get our order in, and in short order the food began to collect on our table. There was soup, a chicken and corn soup and a shrimp soup, both good as appetizers. Then, everything from steamed fish (flounder) to fried tofu, walnut shrimp, pot stickers, sauteed baby bok choy, garlic chinese green beans, roast duck, and a clay hot pot (bitter cucumber and ribs)! Although it was all very good, the crowd I was with really enjoyed the tofu and veggies (green beans and bok choy) above the other dishes.\n \nThis was a dinner to remember! At least, until I get to HK, SF or LA! Came here at lunch time with family on a Sunday and the place was pretty empty (though I hear that it's super packed at night). Lunch time prices are around half of dinner prices. \n\nFood was great given the price, ranging from $5 -$14 for entrees. Service was fast, generally. You could tell that food was cooked fast here--quality a bit compromised (bok choy and fried squid were a bit salty and the roasted duck was a bit dry), but for lunch time prices, I wouldn't complain too much. Chow fun and fried flounder were excellent!\n\nFor a quick, cheap, yet delicious sit-down lunch time dining experience near Chinatown, this place is a good, safe choice. Went here on a whim and it was a trip. If one has one of those unforeseeable yearnings for swallows, duck tongues, snake soup, frogs, pigeon, you have found the right place. Decided to play it safe with Kung Pao Chicken (it somehow tasted like chicken, thank goodness, though it was cut very uneven and boiled before being stir fried - I HATE that!!!)... and dumplings, which were excellent and more substantial than usual, lightly pan fried with a watery, pinkish vinegar dipping sauce on the side... there were flat screen TV's going with some sort of Chinese MTV nonsense... but the place was dirty for sure. It looked like they let an angry lion loose in there in the middle of the night as the upholstery on many chairs was ripped open in multiple spots, foam exposed, completely bizarre on that level. Tables not cleaned up for ages with unfinished meals left on plates on vacant tables. They obviously cater to seafood, but after sitting down, I thought I would try neutral dishes. Service was OK until they served the meal for the employees. They all sat down and paid zero attention to the dining room, not even a glance from any of them to any customers. Happy we paid just before they started to chow down. The food is amaing.\nEvery dish is tasty and the price is less expensive. I always come here for cheap chinese food whenever I pay Vegas a visit. It's a good meal to have right before the long drive back to LA! 4 star for the quality of food that match up with it's price. Customer Service isn't so bad, the waitresses that work there are all really nice. They never disappoint when I visit. I'd come back again! This place is my go-to chinese restaurant! | chinese | 12,668 |
Restaurent name is: The Grille Restaurant & Bar
review: The only thing that is good here is the all day breakfast and the quesadillas and thats about it. The greek food here is horrible! Absolutely no taste. Burgers and your typical food is alright. Probably would go back if it would be the only place open in the area and id be starving to death.... Sometimes the little things can define a relationship for you. When the waitress at The Grille poured my cup of coffee fresh from the thermos carafe -- and then left the entire carafe beside me at the table -- I knew this was going to work out between us.\n\nMy breakfasting partner and I arrived mid-morning absolutely starved. We had both fasted for our yearly physicals and had already decided to try The Grille based on a list of recommended Toronto All-Night Breakfast Places I had read a month ago.\n\nPhysically, The Grille shows its age in the well worn seats and tables and the eclectic interior decorations. It reminds me of a restaurant attached to a motel, or one of those cheerful places you encounter travelling up north. You know going in that you\'ll find no hoity toity cuisine here, but you hope to be well fed.\n\nWell, we got what we expected. Our meals were prepared quickly, hot and ample. When my wife\'s waffle arrived I said, "whoa! that\'s big" and the waitress said, as she slid my Ham and Swiss Skillet in front of me, "Well yours isn\'t small, young man." That remark made my morning too, as I\'m 58. :)\n\nMy order, The Skillet, consists of a real cast iron frying pan on a wood block with a layer of home fries, nicely done and crispy, two fried eggs, ham and cheese, and smothered in Hollandaise sauce. A plate of toast with jam as well as a dish of straight-from-the-fridge fruit slices accompanies this. It was almost too much for me, but I soldiered on and enjoyed the entire thing, washed down with all that coffee (which was also excellent).\n\nMy wife enjoyed her strawberry waffle, but said she would have been more impressed with real fresh strawberries rather than the compote that was liberally spread over it.\n\nWe will certainly be returning to try other breakfast choices from the intimidatingly long menu. Generally a fine place for a basic meal. Food quality and service matches prices. Went for dinner - ordered a steak on a Greek salad. Steak was cooked properly, properly seasoned but luke warm as if it had been rewarmed. Salad came as Caesar salad despite order. Smothered in dressing and basic, tired salad. Tasty garlic bread. \n\nMy dad had rib special. Fries were good, reasonable potion and he had no complaints. \n\nGood for casual / family dining but don't expect high end. Went for breakfast this morning and it truly set the day off on a sour note. Firstly the food is mediocre at best. The home fries were nothing more than a boiled potato thrown into a frying pan for a bit to brown. They were still slimy and moist and the eggs were barely cooked and the bacon hard as steel. Then there was the service. Cold and unpleasant. Wouldn't want to wake up next to this waitress each morning. Never again for this place. This place is simple, but good. 24 hours is awesome.\n\nThursday night special is ribs. \n\nThe portions are HUGE, which is awesome. Basics of ribs, fries, free garlic bread (the garlic bread comes with real chunks of garlic spread on it, yum!), and coleslaw hit the spot. They do milk shakes which really are like thick shakes too... but it's all good.\n\nGiven the relatively cheap prices, and the fact that they give BIG servings, and the fact they aren't another stupid North American chain, I like this place a lot and recommend it.\n\nAfter 10.30pm the service seems super fast - ribs came in less than 10 mins.\n\nIt's simple food, but good. | american (traditional) | 12,669 |
Restaurent name is: Portofino's Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria
review: McKenzie is our waiter for the evening and she should be a comedian part-time. She brought our food out hot & ready before we even finished our salads. Great personality and humor added to a delightful evening. Incredible house salad dressing and what may be the best spaghetti with meat sauce I've ever had. \n\nThis restaurant has several locations in Charlotte. Went once for lunch. We had pizza, on a recommendation that it was the " best pie in town " . If it is in fact the best in town I would only make pizza at home. It was mediocre at best. Crust was just how I like it from a texture point perfect balance between chewiness and crunchy ends but it was only slightly more flavorful than a big chain fast food pizza place. The cheese was ok and the sauce was simple and unremarkable taste . The 3 toppings we ordered were mushroom , black olives and banana peppers they were eye appealing on the pie but not particularly anything special. The place was fairly busy and I will try another item off the menu another time and it better be better than the pizza . I thought the music in the restaurant as a bit odd it was a mix between the Sinatra channel and Mexican radio and was too loud for a lunchtime. I can\'t say that effected my review but it certainly didn\'t help it. Probably the best pizza in Charlotte at what...$3-4 a slice? One and a half slices and I'm good. If you're starving order a whole pizza and share -- it's a no brainer. \n\n- M\n\nP.S. Salmon salad and linguine white clam sauce never let me down. Went there before going to the Oven Auditorium. Large portions. Good service. Good food. Need I say more. | italian | 12,670 |
Restaurent name is: Jade's Finest Chinese Food
review: First, I'd like to say that Jade's really does have good Chinese food. They have a spicy flat rice noodle dish that I absolutely love and the prices are comparable to other Chinese food places in the area.\n\nUnfortunately Jade's has succumbed to horrible service over the last little while. They used to have a very polite and attentive girl looking after phones and service but they seemed to have canned her about a year ago. Without her, I dread ordering. It takes forever for anyone to pick up the phone and when someone does answer they're not very polite.\n\nIf you can tolerate phoning multiple times and unfriendly service, I would probably recommend trying it out. However, I've spent far too long trying to place orders and I've decided that after a long day at work I don't want something as simple as ordering food to be my last hurdle before I can relax for the night. For this reason, I doubt I'm ever going back. I like this tiny take out place. The lady is very friendly and the food really taste of 0 msg. We go get our take out once a week. Used to be my favorite place for Chinese food in town. The last couple of times we tried it was AWFUL!!!\n\nVery little flavor. Chicken balls are all batter with very little chicken inside. Battered shrimp...same thing...no flavour. Cantonese Chow Men had 2 shrimp in it and was dripping in oil.\n\nWe used to order fairly regularly but won't be going back. It's time to find another place. It used to be good but since they hired a new cook 6 mnths ago IT IS GARBAGE! 2 pieces of chicken in our so called chicken dish all carrots! DO NOT WASTE Your TIME! Jade's is obviously a take-out joint but, not being from Stouffville, and having worked up an appetite from strawberry picking, we wanted to eat right away, so we knowingly made the error of dining-in. We did search in vain for an outdoor bench in the plaza or nearby park while waiting nearly 30mins for our food but to no avail. It's a shame because it was a beautiful summer day.\n\nThe service was slow at Jade's and their english was bad making ordering for special dietary needs difficult. The food was a pretty standard North American chinese take-out fare, nothing special, produce less than fresh. The vegetables were cut fairly sloppily and chunky with some visible browning around the edges of the carrots. It came loaded with globs of MSG, which probably could have been expected. \n\nThey had a rough looking table and set of chairs that we pieced together to eat at. The table was dirty which added to the unpleasantness of the experience. I think they probably keep it this way to discourage people from dining-in. \n\nI've eaten at quite a few, run-of-the-mill, Chinese, take-out joints in strip malls in Florida and New York, and can say that they all had better seating situations than Jade's and actually provide table service at a few of them. I think one of the gentlemen behind the counter took pity on us because he offered us some styrofoam plates when he saw us eating directly out of the containers.\n\nThere were plenty of vegetarian(so they say) options on the menu but I felt pretty ill after having my mixed vegetables and tofu. We were there mid-afternoon and they didn't have any white rice prepared so we had to wait a bit longer after the food arrived for the rice to be ready. No discount was offered for the delayed rice but they did give me a heaping portion.\n\nIt's pretty clear that Jade's operates its business of a take-out only basis serving clientele with low-standards for Chinese food. They might not have any competition in Stouffville. If you have the time, you're better off driving to Markham or Richmond Hill to eat Chinese. I recommend Gourmet Vegetarian.\n\nThe next time I go strawberry picking, I'm definitely going to bring a picnic lunch. | chinese | 12,671 |
Restaurent name is: Taco Bell
review: I go here frequently. Love the $5 boxes! Extra value meals are so expensive anymore. This is at least a semi- decent price. This is THEE ABSOLUTE WORST Taco Bell that I\'ve ever been to Linzie B took my order correctly & I still received the wrong order. I called the restaurant to try & have my order replaced correctly & the manager I\'m assuming demands that I bring my order back to the restaurant. That\'s the only way it can be replaced. Taco Bell\'s training insists that nothing is to be received through the drive thru window back from the customer. The management staff there is horrible. They don\'t follow Taco Bell standards at all! I wasn\'t greeted in a timely fashion at the speaker, I wasn\'t asked what I would like to drink, when I approached the window I wasn\'t greeted with & smile & a "Hi how are you?" I don\'t think that Linzie B is rude I think that she has been trained terribly by the rude management staff. This experience leads me to believe that if the hospitality end of the service isn\'t being up held then neither is that safe serve food precautions. Taco Bell is my favorite restaurant but this particular location ruined my enjoyment of this chain. I know that my dollars are just crumbs to this establishment but it saddens me that I can no longer enjoy Taco Bell The authentic Latin American cuisine is delectable. Try the loaded potatoe griller with steak. It is what the young folk call "smack".Newcomers beware. Its like having your taste buds accosted by the dishes array of flavors. The second worst Taco Bell I have been in ever. The service is slow and they mess up special orders frequently. The only reason the are the second worse, is that the worse one I was ever in had no self serve soda. At least you can get refills here... And if you show up during lunch rush you'll need one or two refills while you wait for your order. I don't like this Taco Bell, everything about it is sub par. The service is not accurate, nor do I think they care. I will drive across town to get Taco Bell before I come here. | mexican | 12,672 |
Restaurent name is: Fuzzy's Taco Shop
review: This is the best place to get texmex in town. There are places to go that serve al pastor, this is where you go to get a brisket burrito. We've been to this Fuzzy's Taco Shop numerous times and the food is EXCELLENT!!! The soft tacos are out of this world and my favorite item on the menu is their Mix-Mex Rice!!! The service is awesome and the owner, Christopher, is awesome. He visits with all the customers and always makes sure everything is fine and always asks if you need anything. He is super friendly and it's very obvious he appreciates his customers. The staff has always been great. When you buy a drink, keep the cup and bring it back on your next visit and you get your next drink at a reduced price. We will definitely keep going back! This place is amazing! The service from the management and the entire team is incredible, they are super accommodating and they even have an app for the iPhone. Try the Butt burnin' hot sauce! It's my favorite! Very friendly staff, I have since returned for my 3rd visit with my wife, we absolutely LOVE the food here! Yeah, so this place is new and has a lot of potential. The inside is really nice, plus it has an outdoor seating area; great for the cooler months. They serve beer, which is a plus, though I didn't have any. It did look like a good selection though. \n\nThe food. Well maybe it was what I ordered. I ordered the taco plate (two tacos of my choice and two sides). I chose to have a shrimp taco and shredded chicken taco, both with corn tortillas. A side of the cilantro-lime rice and black beans. Unfortunately, this was about one step better than Cafe Rio and for those that follow me, you know I hate Cafe Rio. Not a good first showing. \n\n\nThe staff, on the other had, is great. Super friendly and helpful, you can tell the really enjoy their jobs. \n\nI'm not sure if I will try it again. It's a challenge to get to. The parking lot is impossible and Rainbow is alway busy. Give it a try, let me know what you think. \n\nCheers. I'm from Texas and I was visiting family In Vegas. I was shocked to see a Fuzzy's Taco Shop had opened. This place rocks in Dallas. The food, service and beer selection is just as good as it is in Texas. If you haven't tried it you should...ASAP! | mexican | 12,673 |
Restaurent name is: Tsui Xiang Tsuen Restaurant
review: Went back again recently and I found the food to be only acceptable this time around. The beef ho fun was huge again in terms of portions but the beef was far too chewy and didn't taste very good either. I could only eat a small portion of it. Disappointing after having several good meals here. Reminds me of First Markham Place and the Dragon Centre. There are plenty of menu items and the portions are insane! \n\nI ordered the spicy fried fish on fried rice based on one of the reviews here, and it was soooo goooood. And I'm not kidding about the portions. The container couldn't even be closed. I pigged out, and there was still enough leftover for my husband to have for dinner....for $7.50 cash. Wut. \n\nThis is going to be a regular spot from now on. Next time, I'm getting the beef ho fun. It looked so good when I was there (others ordered it) but I didn't have enough cash! \n\nNext time, I'm bringing more cash!! Large amounts of food for a cheap price.\n\nTucked inside the mall at Mississauga Chinatown, this small but amazing restaurant is where you will find some great chinese food.\n\nIf you look at the place you'd be like HELL no but when you see so many people ordering from this place you just know somethings up. And of course there is, the food is very cheap and if you were to order just one dish it can easily feed a family of four for less than $5. I know what you're thinking, its cheap so it must not taste that good. Well you're wrong the quality of the food is excellent almost up to par with some of the top Chinese restaurants in the GTA.\n\nThe two ladies at the front are very sweet. If you've never gone here you would think that they are very aggressive b/c they're always trying to attract customers by shoving their menu in your face. But trust me they are not, very friendly and love to chat it up when they're not busy.\n\nThere is a wide variety of food available; noodles, rice dishes, sweet and sour items, soup, deep fried goodness. They also offer huge party trays for a very good price.\n\nItems to definetly get\n\n- wonton noodle soup\n- shanghai noodles\n- japanese udon noodles\n- singapore noodles\n- shrimp fried rice\n- beef ho fun\n- deep fried spicy squid Iv been coming here for years! Iv gotten the same exact thing and thats the Spicy Fried Fish with fried rice. I am IN LOVE WITH IT! The fish is battered and fried with chilli's on it and it comes with seafood sauce (which I usually get on the side). It also comes with bokchoy but I go without. They also have really really good chicken wings and general tao. Great price for what you get! Always come here when Im feeling a bit of Chinese. Love going here before work. Their rice with lobster sauce is great. Lots of variety unless you go here all the time then you're probably used to it haha! | chinese | 12,674 |
Restaurent name is: Zabas Mexican Grill
review: Very much like Chipotle, but I'd give Chipotle higher reviews. Guy taking orders was not very familiar with the menu and definitely was in 'training mode' but there wasn't anyone there assisting him, so that slowed our process down. It's not very close to where I work so I wouldn't drive that far again to go eat there. Love love love Zabas!! It's so deliciously fresh! I usually always get the fish tacos. Those are my absolute favorite! They are so yummy! Last night I tried the surf, turf, and cluck burrito bowl. It was so delicious too! It has shrimp, chicken, and steak in it with rice, avocado, lettuce, beans, salsa. I thought it was so fantastic! My husband always gets the surf, turf, and cluck burrito. The burritos are way too huge for me. Their about as big as my arm, lol. \nThis is one of my favorite places to eat in town. Definitely a place to try if you're looking for a good little Mexican spot! This place reminded me of another Chipotle. My friend and I ordered their fish tacos. They were supposed to be the best there. We didn't get their Chipotle Ranch dressing though. The tacos were ok, with their corn exterior and cabbage/lettuce interior.Btw, the fish takes 3 minutes to cook. Everything seems to be made fresh to order. Most of the workers there didn't speak English, so another worker had to repeat and translate our preferences for the filling several times. Overall, the tacos were good. You could make them with any of their four salsas: mild (pico de gallo), medium (fresh corn salsa, green tomatillo salsa), and hot (roasted tomato & red chile). There are also other items like balsamic vinagrette, chipotle ranch, and homemade guacamole. Everything is supposedly fresh! They all looked pretty fresh and tasted fresh, so I believe it! \n\nThe food is a bit pricey for what you get. The fish tacos (3) already cost about $8 with tax! Geez! I could have gotten more authentic, tastier, bigger tacos at Fausto's!\n\nWe actually arrived about 5 minutes until closing, and they were able to accomodate us. What service! We felt bad, so we left in 10 after receiving our order. That's why I'm giving them 4 stars! I am giving 3 stars, not on a food experience I had, but to praise Douglas Bolle, founder and CEO of Zabas I had sent an email with concerns I had with my last experience with Zabas at this location. Not only did I get a prompt personal reply, but Douglas asked me to call and talk to him. I was so impressed that he took the time to find out my concerns, and we had a great conversation about fast food. He took the time to personally address the issues. I see only good coming out of this. I was offered a coupon which I declined, his interest in his establishment was worth more than a coupon for free food Always friendly, always fast. Fish tacos are amazing (you have to wait for them to fry it but worth the wait). Best quick Mex place in town. | mexican | 12,675 |
Restaurent name is: Piatti Pronti
review: All you can eat mussels is phenomenal, i tried all three flavours (creamy, Dijonaise and Marinara) all generous portions, amazing flavours, it include also a soup or salad and desert . \nService excellent as usual. I belong to a foodie group and this was actually the worse in almost everything. We went a group of 15 before Christmas and I kept getting up to get the menus, ask for water etc...... and the waiter was giving me attitude instead of doing his job. At the end he even picked a verbal fight with one of the members. When I ask to see the owner, he said he was. Oh, Wow!! So unprofessional! I looked at him and told him the place should be CLOSED. The worst service and the food really was not great. It was not worth the price we were paying. Sorry guys, I'm not expecting this place to stay open until next Christmas. The food, wine, and service are outstanding!!! Well done Frank!!!!\nI Often go for lunch and dinner - always fresh, always great quality. I also went to one of their wine taste testing dinner events for Zenato wines..... Zenato himself was there in person !!! Ce soir je retourne avec 13 personnes dont je pourrais vous donner un vaste choix de ce que nous avons essay\xc3\xa9 \xc3\xa0 ce soir bonne cuisine italienne le prix est bon le service courtois de bonne assiette c'est fait avec amour je dois dire c'est plus silencieux que bien des places que j ai fait, bon choix de vins que tu prennes les p\xc3\xa2tes ou la pizza ou les moules tout a du gout qui te feras saliver faites des reservations ....la fine cuisine italiennes as bon prix ecrivez moi pour me donner votre avis | italian | 12,676 |
Restaurent name is: World Buffet
review: This exceeded my expectation of a regular Chinese buffet. We went there for dinner during a weekday. The restaurant is very clean and they seem to rotate the food regularly so that you are not eating food that has been sitting there all day.\n\nAt first I was put off by the various different decor styles, but it is named World Buffet. I got over it by the time I left. They have a good selection of different soups and a salad bar. They had Japanese, Chinese, a little American and a little Italian selection.\n\nMe and my children are on a gluten free and dairy free diets and often feel that we do not get our monies worth at most Chinese buffets. Here there were 3 or 4 meat dishes that were not breaded or in a dairy based sauce.\n\nThey offered a grill where you select the items to cook and they cook it for you. We were so full that we did not have a chance to check out this part of the restaurant. Next time we will.\n\nWe were full by the time we left. Since our food allergy diagnosis, we have not been able to leave any Chinese buffet feeling full.\n\nNOTE: If you order a soda, you only get 1 refill. The staff seemed very friendly. The food however was pretty bland and didn't taste very good at all. The veggies had a weird flavor. Edible but not tasty. Mac n cheese looked runny and nasty so didn't even try it. Probably won't be back again. Forget about the apathetic reviews... this place is awesome!\n\nAll you can eat sushi? Check! All you can eat yellowfin tuna/ Ahi? Double-check! All you can eat snow crab legs, shrimp, and crawfish? All you can eat melt-in-your-mouth Korean beef short ribs and more? You get the point! (Please note that crab legs and ahi are only served on Sundays.)\n\nCome here hungry, and you'll most likely get the bang for your buck! Unlike most Oriental-American buffets, this one keeps their stuff hot & fresh and they also have Mexican food and a decent section of deserts. The service is good but not superb and some of the items are mediocre. \n\nSo, yes... overall, I'm a happy customer and I think that you'll concur!!! Good food for a reasonable price. It's hard to find good authentic Chinese food in Phoenix. This place has a large variety of food. Not too bad... It's really nice inside, very colorful and clean! I also liked that they had the March Madness games on their TV too :)\n\nThe staff was extremely friendly and it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be on a Sunday morning. They had a pretty nice variety to their buffet, however I wasn't all that impressed with the food...particularly the american dishes. The pizza, mash potatoes, and mac & cheese were kinda bland. Not to say the food was bad - it was just okay. I liked the asian style dishes a lot better and the spicy tuna they had was pretty decent.\n\nThe price is fairly cheap for a buffet so that was cool. I'd come back here again if I was nearby and in the buffet sort of mood. | chinese | 12,677 |
Restaurent name is: SCADDABUSH Italian Kitchen & Bar
review: My meal was yummy as always ... Pasta was on point especially the stuffed meatball ...I'm stuffed with happiness Great place! Went on a Wednesday night with a coworker as we were in Toronto for work. Didnt know where to go for dinner so took it to yelp and thats how we ended up there. Overall its a great place. Awesome food, and great atmosphere. \n\nWe got there at around 8:30pm and had to wait about 20 minutes for a table which was disappointing but were able to find spots at the bar and ordered some drinks. When our table was ready we got a text and got seated right away. \n\nOur waitress was amazing! Everything that she recommended was great and she even recommended other restaurants in the area for later in the week and things to do over the weekend. We had the prosciutto mozzarella which was amazing! Then I had the meatball with spaghetti which was the best meatball I've ever had!! My coworker had the butcher pizza which he said was really good and looked amazing. \n\nThe portions are definitely generous. I had so much left but couldnt take it to go cause the hotel didnt have a fridge in the room. For dessert I had the zeppole which is like some doughnuts with a nutella like spread. It was delicious!\n\nI took a star out because even thought our server was awesome we did have to wait quite a bit in between our meal and dessert and then for the check. It seemed like she was very busy. I definitely recommend this place if you are not in a hurry and are looking for something homemade and delicious. Quite a busy place - came here with a group of 14 for a friends birthday dinner. \n\nServer was very knowledgeable about the menu but was too thorough. She highlighted everything on the menu, which means that it was hard to actually distinguish what was good. Appreciate her helpfulness though. \n\nWe split the penne pollo and the Sophia pizza - def get the pizzas or pastas as that's their specialty. They have really cool pizza cutters too. The food is definitely above average and authentic Italian food. \n\nThe bills took a while to get as the servers were slow. But all in all, it was a good night. We entertained a couple guests from Japan here and they loved it. The food is terrific, from the salads and bruschetta to the pasta and meatballs. But what brings us back is the service. On the three occasions we visited (for business) the servers were so nice, we wanted to invite them out with us afterwards -- not kidding. Highly recommend! The meatball is supposed to be a specialty...no Bueno. Not even close to any decent Italian joint.\nBeer good though, and service very passable | italian | 12,678 |
Restaurent name is: Graziano's Pizzeria
review: Absolutely the best Grinder I've ever had. Fresh, lots of quality meet & delivered on time. Great value for the money & will be ordering from here again. If you're looking for a mom and pop pizza place with good pizza, this is your place. The sauce is homemade, cheese is the real deal. The food is made with love, a must try in the north west valley! Freakin' Delish! Friendly, delicious, happy hour rocks! Even the normal prices are killer!!! Grazianos is your typical local mom n pop restaurant. Good food. Great service. My favorite part about this restaurant is their family meals. I can cater large parties on a budget with good food that tastes like mom made it. I recommend Grazianos on any night your not up for making dinner. They are always there to help you out. My favorite dish is the mushroom, tomato pasta in a red wine reduction. So yummy! And their wings are the best in town. RUDE OWNER, NEVER GOING BACK!\n\nI am the Stepson Theresa D is referring to below. If you read all the yelps you will see that we are clearly not the only people who have run into the nasty owners. No food is good enough to pay for and be treated like you are crap. I will NEVER go back to this place and I highly suggest you avoid it like the plague. | italian | 12,679 |
Restaurent name is: Pizzaiolo
review: Ordered the "artichoke" pizza with chicken on June 21 2011 at 1600hrs. Spoke to the delivery guy who called me "sir" when I\'m a "ma\'am", and basically didn\'t listen to the order. Spoke to the pizza maker as well, about putting the artichokes on the pizza in good sized chunks. I\'ve ordered from the Yonge street locations many times and never had a problem, because they ask questions about the order. What arrived at my door the first time was a artichoke pizza in red sauce with chicken. I immediately called and spoke to the the person answering. He proceeded to argue with me about the order, saying all kinds of things. In the end, he delivered the correct pizza - Bianca with chicken. The guy on the phone happened to be the delivery guy as well. Again another argument, saying that I didn\'t order chicken on the pizza, I didn\'t say Bianca...whatever. I said I wanted an artichoke pizza on thin crust with chicken. It was up to him to work out the details, not show up at my house and bring the second pizza and argue with me in front of my house! The little guy must be the owner of that particular franchise, and English is definitely not his first language. "Luigi" at customer service was of no use when I emailed him abou the complaint. Too bad, they are not getting our business again. I can\'t believe this location has such poor rating because I have been to many pizza iolos in Toronto despite they have same recipe , this location has the BEST pizzas . I just read he previous ratings all due to NONE-Taste related issues rather than delay on delivery time n lost phone number to call back, or mixed up the order with other ones . But I personally don\'t see any problems here. I am personally picky with pizzas especially in terms thickness, texture, flavour , sauces , freshness. I NEVER really like d outer crust but this is one location I will eat everything of pizza. \n\nThe location is VERY clean! Has plenty seating too with expansive Wooden chair with comfortable padding! Whenever I come in the place is always SPOTLESS! No grease on the wall or anywhere ! The owners r SUPER friendly! I once didn\'t bring my wallet , n only had 2.5 dollars cash. When I ordered the employee told me it\'s okay just give him later. Lol I was impressed. I did go back later that day handed in $2 haha :):) whenever I came back they had different employees on different days but they were always polite . \n\nIt was random how I got into pizza here. I was walking by one day seeing a guy at front patio table eating the FRESHiest good looking gourmet pizza n instantly I was like:"I want that!" My be thought I was joking but I was serious! We went in I order the chicken with red pepper, my bf had pepperoni!!!! OMG they were delicious! I would not normally use "delicious" to describe pizza. But the ones here r so yum! The pizza is thinnish and very soft inside crunchy outside. The pizza guy does fantastic job knitting. It left great memory. The sauces r tasty n not too sour like PizzaPizza. \n\nN since then I have been back so many times and NOT one time I was not blown away by how good their pizzas are! I only did walk in too. They are bit line up at times but always worth it! They aren\'t cheap on ingredients too u always get a lot of meat on the pizza, def get money worth and it\'s very satisfying for meat lovers :) \n\nTop 4 best pizza locations I have found last 15 years living in Toronto: \n\nthis location; \nBig Slice at Yonge /Gerard ; \nCora Pizza at Spadina/Harbor\nKing Slice at Queen/Lizgard \n\nJudging how previous ratings that they were not up to the expectations for online ordering I would probably try to avoid doing that but I would think their walk in ones r top notch. I have since gotten 2 more friends hooked on those at this location haha. And I have tried pizza iolo at 3 other locations they were huge let down after trying this location. The location at Spadina/Adelaide was really bad n NOT fresh. The pizza was dry , had totally diff texture, meat had odd taste at that location I had to toss the pepperoni one aft a few bites.\n\nLove this one hope eveyone try this location come back to give them a fair review . I think their pizza don\'t deserve a 1.5 star review for sure ! I will NEVER order from Pizzaiolo again!\nI ordered a Party pizza and a gluten free pizza online. The order arrived and I had a medium pizza and the "gluten free" pizza was not in its usual gluten free box. I immediately called and left the guy know the mix up. I asked about the GF pizza and he told me that they never put them in GF boxes, despite my friend who has Celiac being very clear that every other Pizzaiolo location she has been to has special boxes for their GF pizzas. After another couple minutes of the back and fourth while I tried to ask if the pizza was actually GF or if it would make her sick, he admitted that they had run out of boxes. \n\nHe then goes on to tell me that the Medium pizza came to him through the online system as a Medium and not a party, so basically too bad. I asked if the online ordering system could have messed it up. He admits that it could have and asks if I would like a new one made. I tell that I would, but that I have already waited an hour for this pizza and we had to leave in another hour for a hockey game. I asked if it will take under an hour. He tells me it will take 20 minutes. I tell him that I would like it remade. We wait the hour and decide to leave, not wanting to miss our game. A couple friends stay behind to hang out, not wanting to watch. \n\nThey met up with us afterwards and told us that the pizza had arrived an 1hr30mins after we\'d left, and that they were EXPECTED TO PAY FOR IT! Not for the difference between them either, for the full price. Luckily they apologized to the delivery guy (not his fault) but refused to pay. \n\nI CANNOT believe this poor customer service. Clearly they do not need my business. I suggest not testing them with yours, you might be out $50 like me. I ordered for delivery online. An hour later it still hadn't arrived so I called to check on it. Without even asking what order it was the guy immediately told me that it was out for delivery. When I asked him how he could tell given I hadn't even given him the order number or address he put me on hold. He then came back on the phone, asked me what I wanted again and then told me the same thing as if we hadn't just spoken. \n\nNeedless to say it's the last time I am ordering from this location. Terrible, we used to have good service ad delicious pizza from them but the last few times we have ordered it has taken TWO hours for our pizza to arrive and we live just 2 blocks away!! This resulted in the pizza being cold and tasting terrible. Go to the yonge street location instead (too bad yonge street doesn't deliver). | canadian (new) | 12,680 |
Restaurent name is: New China Super Buffet
review: I love their food when it's fresh so I only go during peak meal hours. However overall their food is good. I like to eat here then go shopping at winco, I always leave New China Super Buffet full and happy. I feel their prices are totally fair. They have a selection of standard Chinese dishes, as well as som good sushi, a salad bar, and a nice selection of deserts. I think my only complaint is sometimes the kids of the workers get a little loud and run around the dining area but they are cute so I don't mind all that much unless I'm trying to talk to my partner overall I think it's a good place to bring your family to eat It was OK thought it would be cheaper for the type of food and quality decent selection but nothing to write home about Everything was cold and questionable. How is this place in business? Temperatures on hot food was room temperature. Half of the food looked like it was hours ago. Salad was old. Ceaser salad was like soup. Ranch dressing was watered down. My cookie was stale. Sushi... good luck. Eat at your own risk. So my wife and I have gone to this place several times now. The food isn't horrible. The price isn't horrible. The service is very horrible. Every time I go in here I feel like they think I just kicked their dog. The first couple times I thought maybe the girls serving us were just having horrible days but now every single time we have gone in there they are rude to us. I try to be extra nice to see if maybe I can get them to be decent just for a little but no luck. I'm sure they are upset that people don't tip what they think is appropriate but I know I tip very well and even did the first couple times. But I will not being going to a place where they don't appreciate my business. There are buffets on every corner and maybe they don't realize this but maybe they will when they are closed next year. The New Super China Buffet has great food, great people, and great service. There are endless food options available and everything is made fresh daily. \n\nHave you tried the party trays yet? We ordered several delicious dishes for Thanksgiving and all of our guests loved the food and the yummy desserts. We ordered the party trays the day before and picked up the food hot and ready for our family party. I would recommend coming in to dine or ordering party trays for your next gathering. | chinese | 12,681 |
Restaurent name is: Penn Station East Coast Subs
review: Nice new location. Have never eaten a PS sub so when this location opened near my work decided to give it a try. Staff was friendly, especially a nice women that seemed to enjoy her work. I thought the price was very reasonable. You can order a 6, 8, 10 or 12 inch sub. The fresh cut fries are cooked in peanut oil. Drinks include fresh made lemonade, fresh brewed tea and Pepsi products. \nMy Italian sub was very good. Had the meat grilled and then it is put thru a little oven to melt the cheese. The Italian had ham, hard salami, pepperoni, provolone and was topped with lettuce tomatoes, red onion and banana peppers. At the end of the sub assembly they put on vinegar, salt & pepper, oregano and mayo. The meat tasted good and looked to be fresh. Probably had a tad to much oregano for my tastes but not overwhelming; next time will probably ask to limit or hold the oregano. My side order of fries were very good. The first time I ate here it had just opened and the food was hot and service was great! Went back a couple more times and food was still good but service is a hit and miss. This is my second visit to a Penn Station Sub shop, I really like the philly cheesesteak and their fries are good but I have to give them a3 star just because of the price. I got a 12" philly, med fries and regular drink and it was just under $18. Now it is a good sandwich but $11 No! It was very clean and everyone was very nice but the price is definitely an issuse. First time to try Penn Station, they cut the fries there and came out crispy. \n\nHad the 8" chicken parmesan, apparently the bread is baked to finish at the time of purchase. \n\nLeft full but the chicken quality itself wasn\'t impressive but will be back for the fries and another hot sub option. I love this place. Staff 5 star. So nice and helpful. Food 5 star. Location 5 star. There is nothing not to love about it. Great lunch or dinner. A regular on my rotation. | american (traditional) | 12,682 |
Restaurent name is: Sizzler
review: My family and I went up to Flagstaff to play in the snow! So we come into Town and spot a Sizzler. Famous chicken and their salad bar, prices for quality far over priced. Very disappointed !!\n. Von Louis Thomsen \n (623) 512-7060 Terrible quality food. Terrible customer service! The manager Ricardo didn't even care that we were disappointed. We filled out a customer service card and it looked like he tossed it in the trash. That's place needs a serious do over. Christmas Dinner.\n\nI'm giving this location 5-stars for being a shining light on Christmas night 2015. Bravo to the employees who sacrificed time with their own families to provide a hot meal to weary travelers who unexpectedly found themselves adrift for a meal. Kudos. Kudos. I hope they got extra pay for working the holiday.\n\nAt 8pm the place was packed. So we weren't the only ones seeking a meal on Christmas night.\n\nWe traveled 370 miles to Phoenix never thinking about dinner and that so many places would be closed because of the holiday, but we quickly found out different. And Phoenix is a dark town when business lights go out. Even the restaurant at our hotel was closed for Christmas.\n\nWe consulted Siri by cellphone to find the location. As we approached the building, lights ablaze, bodies moving around inside. Hope. Stomachs growling. 8pm we parked hoping they were still serving Malibu Chicken and Grilled Salmon and were not about to close for the night. Hallelujah! This location is miles from the freeway and we would never have found it without Siri's help.\n\nThe salad bar was clean and appetizing. Food served hot and yummy. Rolls warm and toasty in their basket. And even though the temperature sank to the low 30s after dark a steady flow of diners used the self-serve ice cream machine. \n\nA nourishing hot meal. Christmas music. Attentive service. What more could two grateful diners ask for on Christmas night.\n\nThank you, thank you, Sizzler staff for being a shining light on a cold winters night. Just like home. The staff was very attentive and the Malibu Chicken rocks my socks off. I hadn't been to Sizzler in years, and had the urge after moving for some salad. This was the only salad bar close and so I talked my reluctant fiance into going.\n\nThe service was super nice and attentive. (not annoying attentive mind you, he kept our drinks filled and made light conversation)\nThe manager was nice as well, and everyone was helpful. \n\nThe food was constantly being rotated out with fresh food and everything was kept clean. I don't think there was a moment we were there that the staff wasn't cleaning something. It was great. \n\nOnly the bathrooms weren't the cleanest/nicest, definite wear and tear from the area.\n\nThe fruit was possibly the freshest and sweetest I've found all summer in particular the watermelon.\nDon't hate on Sizzler just because its corporate...this place has topped the service I've been receiving elsewhere as of late. So if you're in the mood for customer service, cheap prices and all you can eat I recommend that this Sizzler be your destination. | american (traditional) | 12,683 |
Restaurent name is: Grape Wine Bistro
review: I tried Grape Wine Bistro today for happy hour and was very impressed. We were greeted promptly by a friendly waiter and took a seat at the bar. He immediately took our drink order and I was enjoying a glass of wine within 2 minutes! The wine selection was unique and they also offer a full bar. Since we were meeting a friend for dinner we just ordered the cheese plate as a snack. They had 10+ cheeses to choose from along with 4 Italian meats. The plate came with marcona almonds, grapes, apple slices, crackers, baguette toasts and tasty apricot preserves. We chose a rosemary asiago which was amazing along with manchengo and sopressata which is always a good idea. I will definitely go back for dinner and recommend it to friends! P.S. They have brunch on Saturdays and Sundays with $1 mimosas and bloody Mary's! Enjoyed a lovely assortment of choices for dinner - Three of us ordered different things and we all tasted... lamb shanks, salmon and Dover Sole were all very good. We had some warm olives to start. Nice wine selection - prices reasonable too. I'd go back for sure. Our server was knowledgeable and fun. I sent the wine back for the first time in my life--it was muddy and long past ripe! Bruschetta was more like garlic toast and soggy --- entree bland and there is a fine line between good service and being intrusive. Not a good value and constantly interrupted. We tried Grape tonight for the first time. We got there at 5:30 and we had to ask if Happy Hour was in effect. We ordered glasses of wine and then some "appetizers" that we assumed were part of happy hour (they were not). It took at least 30 minutes before the two bruschettas and one cheese plate were delivered. As soon as these were served, we ordered dinner explaining we had 7:30 concert tickets. Another 30 minutes before our dinners were served. Didn\'t leave until 7:25. \n\nThe food was very good - two chicken roulades, one scallops, one Caesar salad with filet mignon (without the anchovies I requested). \n\nGood food didn\'t make up for the extended waits. PLEASE NOTE; THIS RESTAURANT IS NOT CLOSED, IT HAS RELOCATED TO 23335 N SCOTTSDALE ROAD, IN THE SPROUTS PLAZA.\n\nAfter stopping by Sprouts for groceries, my husband and I were starving and actually stumbled upon this place. We had wanted to go to Blu Burger, but since they've since closed their patio to dogs, we stopped eating there.\n\nAnyway, we were curious, and found a very nicely appointed wine bar with a really neat menu inside. The wine selection is absolutely excellent. I had a Daou Cabernet which was better than I even expected. My husband had the house Chardonnay, and for a moderately priced white wine, it too was excellent. \n\nBoth off us had a hankering for burgers; husband had the classic burger with truffle fries, and I had the Blue Cheeseburger, which far, far exceeded my expectations; in fact, the burger was better than the one I had at Blu Burger. \n\nBecause it was happy hour, drinks were reduced, and we got out of there with a reasonable bill. \n\nThe best part? There is a dog friendly patio, so next time we go there, we'll be bringing Dexter and Molly without hesitation. \n\nThis is our newest favorite place. | american (new) | 12,684 |
Restaurent name is: The Captain's Boil
review: Very cool newer seafood spot that if I were to compare to something in the USA would be Joes Crab Shack. The inside is bright and well designed. The menu was full of combo platters including crab legs, mussels, shrimp, etc. They give you bibs to stay clean bc they warm it can get very messy. For our visit here we kept it clean. I got the shrimp and scallop rice dish and Addy got the lobster roll. I'll save my opinion about his roll for his personal review. He'll give you the breakdown on it himself lol. However, the rice was okay. It came out very hot which was good. Just seemed a little expensive for a dish you can get at the Chinese restaurant for slightly less. They didn't have salt/pepper shakers on the table. Not sure if they'll be getting them at some point since they are fairly newer...not sure. Overall, it was a neat little spot that I feel I only needed to try once. Ordered the King Crab. Cost $ 63 including tip and taxes. I DID NOT order a drink just water. Tasted good but not good value at all. Red Lobster Crabfest is much better value and tastes just as well. Finally have one in Mississauga.Always like shrimp with corn and potato. And I feel the website is very clear and fast to order. You can choose the exact time for the order to pick up. And there is 10% discount online. I came here to eat with some friends. I have been to the markham location before.\n\nThe staff is very friendly. This only opened up a week ago so they don't have a liquor license yet, one of my friends was a bit disappointed but we understand. On the downside, the servers seemed a bit inexperienced (almost forgot to take 2/4 of our orders) and 2/3 of the stalls in the bathroom didn't have toilet paper. \n\nRegarding the food, I got a lobster roll. The amount of lobster in it was disappointing for the price. It tasted really good though. The only issues I had were that the water tasted weird like in a really stale way and the ketchup was very runny. I ordered a pound crawfish with captain boil sauce and a pound shrimp in garlic sauce online. My husband likes the shrimp more, I like the crawfish. Will definitely order again for a sports night. | asian fusion | 12,685 |
Restaurent name is: Seven44 Restaurant & Lounge
review: I've been here a few times now, most recently a few days ago. To be honest I go here to listen to my friend play in the band. It's the typical pub place but slightly nicer. There is the space for the band and a small dance floor and sometimes there are some swing dancers that get on the floor and get groovy...or swingy..and I have seen a few jazz hands rocking in the air\n\nI have tried the food here on a few occasions. So now I eat before I come here. LOL, Nothing I have tried here I liked very much, kinda blah. The saving grace is at least the portions are large, but I wouldn't say for the price they charge you are getting a deal. The service is ok, nothing outstanding, but nothing bad either. \n\nApparently this place gets really busy on Mondays since the band plays regularly then, but don't expect to go there and try and pick up a date...unless you are over 70 - which in that case you will have your pickings! Horrible! I have never seen such unkept, dirty, lot of men in all of my life. I went for a " salsa night" hosted by meet up, and promptly left 20 minutes later. If you are going to go out for an evening, wash your hair and leave your dirty fishing clothes at home. And stop staring and leering at women, it\'s creepy. Age group was 40 and older... Waaaayyyyy older. The waitress was also very rude and had a bad attitude. Washrooms were gross - not at all shocked *shivers* cannot believe they charge a cover too, pitiful. I went here for the first time yesterday, mostly to hear the weekly hot jazz group (Climax) that calls this place home. Normally they get a good crowd but the snowstorm kept people away.\n\nFirst the good: the service was excellent. Cindy made me feel very welcomed. There is good service (bringing food/drink in a timely manner, checking in, etc.) but then there is a whole other level which involves making guests feel special. My martini was totally up to task and the ribs and chicken, mashed potatoes and corn all did the job. Not the best in the city, not the worst. $24 seems a fair price. The two Kronenburgs were fine. \n\nBeyond the fantastic service, there was the band and the people that braved the snow to see them. Everybody I talked to was very friendly and the gentlemen of the band were eager to talk about jazz. There is a kind of a community here and I really wish I could duplicate it somewhere on the Danforth. (lots of friendly pubs but no regular jazz gigs)\n\nSo why only three stars: at 4am the next morning it became very apparent that something was not sitting well and I can only assume it was dinner. I cannot prove this but cannot think of anything else to have been the cause. I'd assume the food poisoning came from the chicken. \n\nFinal verdict: I like this place a lot and would go back, perhaps even trying another night. (They host a big band event, reggae, etc.) I likely would not go just to go--there are any number of watering holes much closer. (I suspect this serves as the local for many people in the area). As for food, it could have been a fluke but I'd probably try a sandwich or poutine next time around. \n\nRecommended--especially if you are looking for traditional jazz from 4 to 7 on a Saturday. (And note that there are a lot of choices for this on Saturday in the city). Wow, I had such a different experience than the previous reviewer? Sounds like he has an axe to grind? As for the other places he mentioned, two are not exactly what I would call clean? I have lived in this area for 30 years and have experienced many changes. Seven44 is a great place to see live bands and is an institution in Toronto. My last few times there have been fabulous! The service was great and so was the food we had (wings & quesadillas)! We had wine and pints and never felt sick the next day? But then again we ate real and good food, not something from a hot dog cart! If you have a bad reaction to something you ingested, the Health Department should be contacted. Otherwise, your negative comments can be considered slanderous and unfair without proper evidence. I, for one will happily continue to enjoy Seven44! Cheers! Came here on a whim because I live in the area (wanted a shady patio) \n\nNOT what I was expecting. The service was fine, the food was not good - like at all. \n\nI sat down and was greeted immediately which I appreciate, I just got a water for the time being. I took a look at menu that's pretty basic (wings, burgers etc) I wanted something quick so I asked for the clubhouse with a caesar salad instead of fries. To my surprise, ordering a salad instead is 2.99$ extra? So I agreed and waited for my meal. \n3 minutes!!! That's how long it took. However, I've never known anyone to mess up a club. It was dry, had a weird taste, was simply depressing how small it was. My salad was dry with barely any dressing, with everything just thrown on the top of it. Definitely not worth the extra money. Not impressed. Won't be returning. | canadian (new) | 12,686 |
Restaurent name is: El Mescal Family Mexican Restaurant
review: I've had this place bookmarked for a while and finally had the chance to try it out. You know from walking in the door this place is authentic by their greeting in Spanish.\n\nMy boo and I were quickly seated at a booth and told our waiter would be right with us. Soon enough our waiter came to take our drink order and ask if we had any questions. He also brought out some heaven in a bowl aka salsa which was to die for. He was very friendly and welcoming during the whole meal and even helped us with our questions we had on using a groupon.\n\nWe initially didn't order any drinks but after seeing how everyone else raved about the margaritas I had to try one. I was certainly not disappointed. I had he mango marg which was super fresh and delicious. My boo had the 1800 which he said was great too.\n\nFor food we shared the fajitas for two. I thought it was very good but felt there could have been more meat than peppers. I did enjoy that we each got our own tortillas, rice and beans though.\n\nOverall I thought this place was great but the only reason for a four star was the prices. I felt it was quite expensive compared to other Mexican restaurants near by. I'm sure I'll still be back soon anyways and can't wait to try something new! Had the steak fajitas and chicken fajita quesadilla and both were delicious! Staff was extremely friendly and I loved supporting an actual family restaurant in a town ruled by corporations. Will absolutely be coming back! Well all the orders was all screwed up there's alcohol pictures all over but no liquor license. Service really sucked won't go back there ever again Good meat flavor , big area for families. Tortillas , yellow rice home made taste. Try it I liked it. First of all service was excellent. Many check ins to see if everything tasted good or needed refills. The staff was very friendly. \n\nAs far as the food, started with cheese dip and it tasted like white Velveeta. Poured my salsa in to break up the richness. \n\nOrdered the jalape\xc3\xb1o margarita which was good (fresh lime flavor and strong).\n\nThe chicken suiza enchiladas were the main course. Everything tasted fine, but all elements were on the bland side: beans, rice and suiza sauce. The sauce could have definitely been more vibrant! It all tasted homemade, but a bump of salt would have went a long way.\n\nOverall, I would go back, but to try another dish. | mexican | 12,687 |
Restaurent name is: Chili's
review: We haven't been to this Chili's in a while due to issues with poor meal service but we gave it another try today after about a year. Well, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I don't know if it was understaffing or just not caring but either way it was unacceptable. No one seemed to be in a hurry, if they were understaffed. In the two times I went to the service area to refill my family's tea, I could see servers chatting in the back. No rush. Our server never refilled our drinks (walked by numerous times without noticing and my husband had his water refilled at the bar). I had to remind him two times for certain things, got my family's (and the table next to us) napkins since our server was MIA. Poor service. Food was good, so I did give a star for that. I didn't finish it all and after waiting around, got my own to go box. Never an apology or anything. Maybe the management should go next door and get the Chick-fil-A managers to do a little service training. We will not be back and I guarantee the same goes for the 3 other tables around us. Management needs an overhaul and if they are short staffed, needs to light a fire under some servers or at least show some hustle. Decent food and good service. Step above many of the other Chilis we have been to Fajitas were delicious. The waitress did a good job and was attentive. Love paying at the table so we can leave when we are ready. Impressive food and service...\nLove the new TVs....\nThe bartenders are friendly and make the visit fun.\nDoug goes out of his way to provide good service to those sitting at the bar. \n\nGreat food. Impressive food and service...\nLove the new TVs...\nAtmosphere is upbeat....\n\nGreat place to bring a family. Got to love those flatbreads! Shame they stop doing fish tacos though. For that I am only giving it 3 stars. Do stop in often. Always pleasant staff and good service. | american (traditional) | 12,688 |
Restaurent name is: Sundance Grill
review: I\'ve been a loyal costumer for 3 years this upcoming August. The wait staff here is not that pleasant. They deal with people all day long that under tip or don\'t tip AT ALL! They just assume if you have a dining comp with you you\'re not a fair tipper. WELL! I\'ve always been fair with 18% OR BETTER and the people that have waited on our table know this. I\'ve seen so many faces in this cafe it\'s not even funny. I like a place that has decent food and at one point I thought this place was OKAY! I\'ve checked in here numerous times. Met some unreal, prude like managers that swear there\'s nothing wrong with the food. But yet you tell me would you eat that undercooked? They\'ll just be upset & scowl at you. Other times I\'ve had pleasant experiences with staff & managers. Sadly the bad out weigh the good for us. To the point where my boyfriend refuses to go here because he can\'t stand the wait or a particularly rude manager that used to work during the week (his days off).\n\nI\'ve complained about that particular manager in the past & sure enough she remembered us the next time. You\'d think she would be pleasant and force a smile or get a different attitude than the apathetic look on her face. If you hate where you work get a better education or don\'t get in the food industry.\n\nMy main reason for giving this poor rating is for the food quality which has plummeted over the past 2 years. Somebody came up with a great allergen free dish called the Sweet & spicy Chicken wrap. It came with rice noodles on top, some wiz bang Sauce (guessing Asian fusion), chicken and it was probably something I would see off of Master Chef. You understand it looked beautiful on a plate. OF COURSE it was not popular enough to stay on the menu because being America if it\'s healthy it\'s not for US! I was big contributor to this closed mindset UNTIL I found I can\'t enjoy certain foods anymore. Has they kept this dish on the menu I would probably still come around & put up with the miserable staff. I miss coming in and being recognized by certain staff but I don\'t see them when I do have the nerve to stop in. It\'s a shame. I like being a regular and getting treated like a friend, you serve up the food I leave a nice tip we exchange "have a nice day/weekend". Call it a win. But I haven\'t had that experience here in a long time here.\n\n I wish Jon Taffer would fix this place so it\'s reasonably priced, with a hospitable & friendly staff that stick around. I hate seeing a place with different staff every time I visit. It tells me a lot how the staff get treated. But I don\'t blame them for leaving when some of the managers aren\'t the pleasant of people to talk with.\n\nIf they decide to send me a mailer saying they\'ve revamped the place than sure I\'d go back a few times to see how it is. I\'m going to miss this casino because it\'s more my speed, I grew up in the sticks & loved the lodge theme but eh. I won\'t stick around just for that. Bring back the Sweet & spicy Chicken wraps if you DO revamp the place. That was a winner in my book, simplicity is key when keeping low ticket times. One star is saying alot. I am a frequent customer here because of comps from my gaming, but quite frankly I cannot bring myself to go back. A few weeks ago on a Saturday night I was alone and sitting at the counter. It was 10PM and I ordered the shrimp with linguine. After waiting 45 minutes I said something to my server. She said they were busy but my shrimp were on the fire. 15 minutes later I still have no food. Then some friends came in and I moved to their table, and after they ordered their food my food finally arrived. There was no linguine only over cooked spaghetti, a few overcooked shrimp and no garlic bread. Well this past Saturday night were were in there again and I ordered the Jumbo Shrimp cocktail to start. After ordering our waiter came over to say they were out of shrimp and it would be a few minutes before they cooked more. Then the waiter comes to our table with a plate of the worst looking shrimp which were below par of their buffet ones and I promptly told him to bring them back, there was no way I would pay $11 for that. About 10 minutes later waiter comes back to the table with their version of Jumbo Shrimp, warm and not very good. I was insulted they would even serve that to me, a high level player at that casino. I had informed the manager when I paid the bill that they never should have served the shrimp and he politely said he knew. If he knew why was it served to me? Bottom line here is that a comp isn't even worth it!!! Service was OK, but the rest of the meal, including my rib eye which was ordered medium and came out barely cooked, was awful. I did not send the steak back because at that point in our meal I thought I will just take it home and eat it tomorrow. Silverton Cafe. Located by the pool so good spot to grab a bite to eat after a day of relaxing.\n\nIts nothing special, typical cafe. Foods pretty normal and average. Service the same. \n\nPizza, salads, pastas, etc.... Oh stop by the gelato spot on your way out its right in the front of the cafe. This is our go-to place while at the Silverton. They serve a wide variety of food and the service is excellent. Lots of healthy items on the menu as well as all the comfort food favorites. Top it off with a gelato and you have a perfect experience. Don't overlook this gem. Great little restaurant/cafe..everything I've had has been delicious. Wait staff is so friendly and attendive...5 stars all the way. Clean, good food, good people... | american (traditional) | 12,689 |
Restaurent name is: Ristorante Orsini
review: Took my parents here for dinner and we had the mussels, salad, different pasta dishes. Everything that was ordered was delicious. I would recommend and would definitely be returning. Service was excellent We had a nice quiet dinner at Ristorante Orsini on a Tuesday night. There were only 6 other people at 2 other tables but we didn't mind. We had a really nice dinner. We started with bruschetta and Caesar salad. We had the Linguine al Gambero and veal parmigiana for our mains. We finished with coffee and tiramisu which I really, really enjoyed. The service and ambiance were excellent. We will definitely return! Four of us went for Lunch and we spent most of our time waiting for the waitress to acknowledge us! (They definitely needed more than one server)! \nDuring this time we experienced a very bad odour coming through the vents which made our eating experience not very enjoyable!\nThe food was adequate, unfortunately one of the plates was returned as we found a hair in the middle of the salad. We did not complain but only mentioned it to waitress .., Sadly, the waitress only apologized, returned it, nobody bothered to compensate us. No brainer! Poor customer service - We will never go back! I'm surprised with all the 1-star reviews! But, you can't win over an experience when service is mediocre. Lucky for my party, our server was very attentive! We went on a Thursday, so maybe not the busiest day, but it was packed and there was a constant flow of diners for the hour and a half we were there, so they had at least 3 different servers to my knowledge which maybe sped things up a bit. \n\nWe did have a tiny hiccup when we asked for our appetizer to come with our dinner, but it came out before. That with our variety of bread (yes it's cold like some previous poster mentioned.... which is pretty typical.. no?) we had a bit of munching before the main course. The calamari was cooked really well. Hot, but not soggy or too oily. The batter was light and not overwhelming! I was really happy with it.\n\nThere were 3 of us and we shared the padella for 2. They were nice enough to bring out a separate bowl so we could divide things. You get two bowls of linguine with a marinara sauce and tiny shrimp. Then a giant bowl of seafood paella in a red soupy sauce. There was crab, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, and calamari. We finished it all, but the dish was plenty of food for 3 people!!!\n\nOverall, really good food. We had good service. It was busy, which is a good sign in my opinion! Would go back for this dish, especially!! On vacation visiting family we visited twice in 10 days. Our experience was very good. They seem to have a goon number of regulars, always a good indicator. Service was efficient, food got and well presented with everyone happy with the quality & quantity. Friendly and responsive to younger diners who are a little fussy - rapid "no problem " to each request. Love the minimalist but effective decor. Spotless washrooms. \nOverall a solid value nice place to dine. | italian | 12,690 |
Restaurent name is: Waffle House
review: One of the very few things that I miss about North Carolina. The Waffle House is a great little spot for after the club, after drinks, or if your hotel's breakfast completely sucks. I had the grilled chicken, eggs, & potatoes. Def hit the spot. This location is one of the cleanest Waffle Houses in the area. The staff are definitely THE most attractive in comparison to most Waffle House employees. I recommend a quick visit. Called three times to place a to go order and they hung up on me and didn't answer the phone. When I drove by the employees were standing around doing nothing.... so wack. Always a pleasurable visit. Today was the best. Miss Dee took my order, cooked it and couldn't have been kinder. A sweet woman. Thank you. What you expect from a waffle house. Attitude and food on point. Great for quick bite, either breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night snack To me when I think of the Waffle House breakfast is what comes to mind and of course it's always really late at night and usually always with bunch of friends. \nYou know that moment you been out partying or just out late doing whatever it's 1 o'clock in the morning. Your buddy's say hey let's grab something to eat, usually at night your choices are limited so it's only IHOP, Cookout, or Waffle House that's open to choose from. To me I classify this type of a restaurant as a greasy spoon dinner it's not a bad thing it's just a particular type of food you can always count on no matter what city you're in. I give it a late night thumbs up ! | american (traditional) | 12,691 |
Restaurent name is: Caf\xc3\xa9 Casera
review: OK... So I\'m actually writing this review while waiting for my food at this place. Obviously, this is pertaining to my first visit, which was yesterday. Considering I\'m here again, it\'s already a given that my experience at this place is very good. \n\nLocation - this Mexican joint is located in a strip mall right next to a gas station, hair salon, and a brand new bar. Most of the businesses in this location are brand new and starting up. The strip mall itself is located in a residential area deep in the south side of town (Jones and Robindale) \n\nRestaurant - it\'s a little hole in the wall but the place is very inviting. Very simple and the staff (which I\'m assuming is the family that owns it) is very friendly. They explained the menu and introduced me to their house specials. \n\nFood - their house dishes are called "CC Sizzle" and you get to choose what style it comes in. You can get it in either nacho, burger, burrito, taco and their own house signature, the sopaipilla. All dishes come with rice and beans. Everything is made to order. They roll the dough in front of you and prepare their tortillas on site which is pretty cool. I had the burrito style during my first visit. It comes with 2 medium size burritos which is a huge meal on its own right. I left very satisfied and stuffed... \n\nJust a heads up. The place has only been open for 2 months I believe and the owner told me they\'re still working on the little things. With that said, their drinks are a la carte \' at the moment from a little fridge behind the counter. They have a fountain machine set up but it\'s not yet operational. \n\nOverall, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone, especially if you\'re in the neighborhood. It\'s quick, fresh and food is delicious. If you\'re craving simple Mexican food, it\'s a go to spot. We stumbled upon this little gem, it\'s around the corner from my husbands\' new work location.\n\nDamn, this place is crazy good, fresh, full of flavor and MADE TO ORDER. Are you kidding me? It\'s like sitting in your abuelitas house while she cooks just for you. All the while you are drinking green kool-aid and watching cartoons in her living room, on her couch covered in a clear plastic cover. Just like that.\n\nThe place is small, sits in a small business center right behind a gas station. DO NOT LET THIS store front fascade scare you away. Inside is the cutest little mexican restaurant with modern decor you will ever find. There are only 4 tables (square) that seat 4 people each. Don\'t fret, take out is available also.\n\nWe were the only customers in the place, we arrived at 7 p.m. and they close at 8 (On Sunday, which is today) so we got their full attention. The owner and his wife (I believe she was the cook) treated us like we were family. The owner recommended the CC Sizzle and the green chile chicken enchiladas. He explained that the green chile is from a certain region in New Mexico (which is why the taste will be very different from many other mexican restaurants) and let me tell you..we ordered that shit right up.\n\nMy husband tried the CC Sizzle on the sopapilla (we\'ve never tried one before) and I ordered the green chile and chicken enchiladas in verde sauce...for the love of god. So damn good and the best enchiladas I HAVE EVER HAD. I have traveled to many states and eaten at many different restaurants, I guarantee you will not have a better enchilada hit your mouth.\n\nMy youngest daughter, who is 8, hates mexican food. She ate two of their chicken hard shell tacos and ate them both exclaiming "I have never eaten so much mexican food in my life, it\'s because these are so delicious...I can\'t wait to come back" Our sentiments exactly, my husband, older daughter and I agree 100% .\n\nThe owner checked on us, when he could\'ve been getting ready to close. He was attentive, super sweet and just a good soul. He made us 3 complimentary dessert sopapilas with powdered sugar and honey, to go along with the one that came with my daughters\' kids meal. He talked to my husband and I about the original restaurant that still resides in New Mexico, been open since 1960 something. My husband let me try (before he devoured) the CC Sizzle sopapila and it was delicious, flavorful and fresh off the grill.\n\nLove, love, love this spot. Told him I would be back for round 2 tomorrow, because I want to bring a friend who just moved to Vegas, so she can tell her friends, and they can tell their friends and keep this spot open for many years like it\'s first location.\n\nIf I could give it 10 stars, I would! Deeeeeeeelish! I love this mom and pop place. Salsa is to die for! (Bit spicy but flavorful!) Staff is friendly, decor is cute, restaurant is clean. Totes gets 5 stars How did I miss this place?! We live up the street and order from Prima Pizza all the time but never saw Cafe Casera. This place is my type of spot. It doesn't overwhelm you with a huge menu but a few amazing New Mexican dishes. The first time I got a burrito, and now I am enjoying the amazing green chile chicken enchiladas! The tortillas are so fresh and the chips and salsa are delicious!! They are going to have to 86 me from here because I will be stopping by way too offen. Oh, if you like deserts and coffee you can stop in and get it as well! I like the decor its like a chill mix of coffee shop meets contemporary. \n\nCheap good quality food comparable to robertos prices and they deliver! I purchased a groupon awhile back when they first opened and I'm finally getting around to using it. This place is located in a very small strip mall behind the gas station. The Christmas lights strung in the window is what caught my eye and led me here. \n\nWe were warmly greeted by a husband and wife team. We were the only diners at the time, he gave us a very thorough run down of the menu items and had suggested the CC Sizzle, we picked Nacho Style. This was delicious. It was a blend of meat with onions, cabbage and cheese over their homemade tortilla chips. Our second item was the Green Chile Enchiladas, made with Hatch green chili's and chicken with creamy chili's sauce. I couldn't decide which one I liked more. \n\nWe ended the meal with Sopaipillas. Probably one of the best I've ever tasted. I like mine with honey, and they had a few different types to choose from. \n\nThis place is really casual. Even if you're dining in, your food is served in styrofoam to go container. The soda fountain wasn't working when we were there, bummer, I like a nice cold Coke when I'm eating Mexican food (only time I like soda). The owners were really nice, he was telling us all about where they're from in NM. I'm definitely planning to return and try some of their other dishes. | mexican | 12,692 |
Restaurent name is: Rosati's Pizza
review: We ordered every Saturday from here and its so sad that they closed. We've been worried about you guys. A little heads up would have been nice.\n\nWe all wish you the best in your future endeavors and our search for a perfect pie will continue....so hard in this town and you were ooh so close. I always have the tough choice of Buon Gusto, Windy City and Rosati's. They're all about 2 miles apart. But I wouldn't throw out 4 stars to mediocre pizza. This is great pizza. I am spoiled having such great pizza so close to home. This place blows. If only I can give 0 star on yelp.. I would give it to this place. I ordered pizza for our potluck at work and picked it up during my lunch break. Guess what? The cook forgot the pizza and it burnt so they need another 10 minutes to make it? Who does that? What a complete waste of time. To top it off.. they gave me a $5 coupon for inconvinience? What makes you think I'm coming back after this stunt.. THIS PLACE RUINED MY DAY. i hate it. We always orders the Chicago style pizza and loved it but tonight I ordered the thin crust and was very happy with it. I picked up the pizza at the new location and it looks like they have a great seating area The pizza is a slice of heaven! There was a new driver who couldnt follow directions but otherwise a perfect pizza pie experience. SO GLAD YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!! Tried the wings for the first time and even I was impressed with them. Im a wing snob so good job! | italian | 12,693 |
Restaurent name is: Salty Se\xc3\xb1orita
review: Great environment, great bartenders... just an OK placeto dine. I\'d go to 4 stars if I were reviewing "a good time", but as such, 3 stars have it. I would have to say the best food is their fish tacos, but I haven\'t tried everything on the menu... so give it a shot. It's been a year since I have been in and was stoked too see that our favorite bartender is still working here! Last night we gathered for a retirement party and Ashley took wonderful care of us! Have great bands here and makes any happy hour Friday enjoyable! Ashley gave us samples of the confession and we loved them so ended up drinking the night away with those! Thanks saltys staff for making our night memorable! I've only ever been here during the Iowa games and I sit at the bar so I guess that makes the differance. I really enjoy watching the games here, everyone is so nice, although the servers don't seem as happy to be there as the rest of us but hey they had to get up at 8 on a Saturday morning so I don't really blame them as it's not their team.\n\nI can't wait for this upcoming season so hopefully it will a great year! The family and I stopped in this afternoon (Saturday) and the place was pretty slow. It was my first trip to this location, though Ive been to the Scottsdale location on several occasions.\n\nThe first thing I noticed is that this location is beautiful. From the two large bars to the outside patio I felt immediately comfortable and had flash backs of spending Spring Break in Cabo.\n\nOur server was gorgeous, just incredible. I cant recall her name but she reminded me of a younger, more attractive Thandie Newton. So within just a couple of minutes I was ready to give our visit 5 stars. \n\nUnfortunately things went south fast. After our server took the drink order she just disappeared for about 10 minutes. Since we had just come from playing miniature golf (in the middle of summer) the kids were very thirsty and this long departure made it very difficult for them... and us.\n\nShe finally returned and took our order. That went pretty smooth. We didnt order anything unusual or "off the menu." My wife decided to have a Strawberry Margarita.\n\nAgain the server disappeared, this time for over 20 minutes. So by this point we\'ve been in the restaurant over half an hour and we still dont have our food and my wife never received her margarita... on a very slow Saturday afternoon.\n\nI caught the attention of a manager and asked him to refill our drinks and check on our food. He returned a couple moments later with our server in tow and food in hand. It looked good, but the plates were scorching hot and the food was lukewarm, which is usually a sign the food has been sitting in the expo window for a long time.\n\nThe food tasted good, including my wife\'s chicken quesadilla... unfortunately she ordered a steak quesadilla. By this point we were just happy to have food so we didnt complain.\n\nThe manager seemed very apologetic and offered us a free appetizer for our next trip, which isnt likely to ever happen at this location. I would have preferred a discount on the bill or maybe an offer of dessert but no luck. Since I placed an order to-go over the phone one time and my burrito was pretty good and in tact, I decided to take hubbs to this place. We were craving some white-washed Mexican food. It seemed to take forever to get drinks, get order placed, get our entrees and to even pay to leave. \n\nWe asked the waiter to explain how big the tacos were (I believe one of the meals said 3 tacos, rice and beans). He kinda used his hands to demonstrate how big it was. Oh, okay, I thought, pretty decent sized. That would explain that the plate was around $15. Wrong. I get my tacos and they are super duper small. Real small. Good thing they came with rice and beans or else I would\'ve still been starving. Mediocore tacos at best. What was I thinking, urgh. I apologized to my husband for the experience, we were $35 lighter and still hungry.\n\nI think it\'s the decor that attracts young people here, especially on weekends and nights, it almost looks like a college dorm party. No thanks. "It\'s like an overpriced Taco Bell" were the words that came out of my mouth as we left the place.\n\nNote: Why does it cost extra for chips & salsa at Mexican places now?? | mexican | 12,694 |
Restaurent name is: State 48 Brewery
review: Came in for lunch and sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly and offered me water and a beer. I declined the beer as I was just on a lunch break. I asked the bartender to recommend an entree and she suggested the PB&J burger. It was okay but the flavor was mottled. No real sweetness to it and nothing really spicy to draw it out. Needs to have a contrast of flavor to make it worth while. If you want a really good PB&J burger try Burger Rehab Therapy in Scottsdale. \n\nI will try this place again when I can have the beer. The selection looked good and the bartender was knowledgeable. Decor in this place leaves a lot to be desired. It's a mix of old Hayashi booths and some new stuff which doesn't go together. Nonetheless, we are excited to have a brew pub with a great selection of beers. Because of the newness, they did not have their craft beers available yet, but we will definitely go back to try them. Food is good, but overly ambitious for a pub. I'm really not interested in having jicama slaw on my burger or sandwich. Keep it simple. That being said, I had a smoked turkey sandwich which was really very good and the 9 grain bread was outstanding. Would order again without the spread. Husband had beet salad and shrimp ceviche. Again the dressing wasn't great. There is a wood fired pizza oven so will will try a pizza next time. Service is spotty as the kinks are being worked out in a place that has only been open a few days. Food and beer was good. My problem was with the nonchalant attitude of the staff. Waited forever for our drink order to be taken, waited forever for our food order to be taken. Once the food was out I had a question about the way my salad looked. Waited fifteen minutes to see our waitress to ask her but she never came to check on us or she never visited another table. I had to ask the manager about my salad. It was our first visit and it was 4:30pm on a Thursday. They were not busy. Food was tasty, drinks were good. \nService= could have been better. \nBefore we were seated we were informed no pizza would be served tonight and American Express will not be accepted. \nOrdered a cider from the bar menu and it was unavailable. Ordered a pineapple cider and it was delicious. Hubby got a black iced tea, it was good. \nOrdered a beer cheese sandwich and beer battered fries. Delicious food. Hubby got Sonora burger, sriracha chili soup. \nWas delivered a bowl of soup, Not chili, and after it was half gone, waitress came and told us it was tortilla soup, not chili because they ran out. No options. Just informed. \nHis burger was good. Service not so great. Waitstaff never checked to see if we wanted more drinks or dessert. We sat with dirty plates in front of us for 5 minutes. \nTime to go. \nNot sure we will return. \nKitchen needs better staff, out of half the menu at 7pm is not satisfactory. Getting a beer here now with a girlfriend and it's amazing! They're busy but the staff is upbeat and really makes you a priority. Love the beer selection as well! Crystal came up and asked us how everything is and started a conversation with us. Really personable and wonderful! Great job guys! | american (new) | 12,695 |
Restaurent name is: China King Restaurant
review: I was told that this was the best in the city but to be honest I've had better. They had all of the essentials -siu mai, dumplings, chicken feet, rice noodles, congee, chinese broccoli, etc - but there was still a lot of dishes missing to make this place a great Dim Sum. We came in a group of 10 and was left sitting around wondering what else they had after 20 minutes. \n\nSome dishes that could be better:\n1. BBQ pork Bun - a little dry and small portion of bba pork - end up with plenty of dry dough\n2. Ginger tofu - overly sweet and not enough tofu\n3. Chicken feet - the sample I had was overcooked to where the skin was soggy. Good chicken feet should have some elasticity to it and more texture. \n\nI may or may not come back. Try it for yourself and be the judge. This is our default place for dim sum on Sunday mornings. This is the only place my mom will go and she is, well...a picky middle-aged Asian woman. It is always crowded then, especially if it is a holiday, but that just reaffirms that this place is just that good. The dim sum is delicious and fresh. Also, I'm not a huge fan of rice porridge, but I have to get some from here every time I go.\n\nIf you're a dim sum novice, you'll find it helpful to scout out the dishes on their website before you go. Trust me, it will be so worth it. This has become a staple ever since we temporarily relocated here. I highly recommend the quality. However the variety does get a little boring. Also the decor is not pleasing. But if you want cheap dim sum and good quality this is for you Dim sum here was better than the other two places in Chandler. Everything was fresh as far as I could tell and made that day (it's Saturday, so) and there was a good but focused selection of the usual staples. It's probably best to go there mid morning after everything's ready but before they start running out of stuff. Have to try rest of the menu. Cantonese, Toisan, and Mandarin spoken here. Best Chinese food and dim sum on the Eastside. Dim sum is fresh and has good choices. They have live fish and sometimes live shrimp and other types of fresh seasonal Chinese vegetables (eg: snow pea leaves). It seems their management has changes a few times, so the service levels and servers change from time to time. | chinese | 12,696 |
Restaurent name is: Thai Plates Cuisine
review: I ordered take out and so I haven't actually dined in the restaurant, but the food was very good and the veggies in my dish were a nice variety and cooked perfectly. I will for sure come back! I arrived as green to Thai food as anyone. The manager or owner was extremely congenial and helpful. He helped get me a just right plate of food with just enough spicy-ness as needed.\nNow for the drink... I love coffee. If you never have tried Thai coffee then I highly recommend this. Before buying it he gave me a generous sample. And I had to have more! 12 or 16 ounces of Java yumminess for $2.00!!! \nThis place deserves its 5 stars. Came here based on the reviews--they didn't disappoint. The service was great. They are so friendly and the music was in Thai! I really liked it. \n\nThe food was perfect and they serve Jasmine rice, my fav! We got the orange chicken, the red curry chicken and the sweet sticky rice for dessert. So yummy! \n\nWe will be coming back! They definitely earned the 5 star rating! Incredible food. Great service very helpful ordering the right entre. The flavor of everything was fabulous. I highly recommend this restaurant. Wish they had alcohol but no big deal the food out ways the drink I had chicken yellow curry. It's my go to dish when I go for Thai. I asked for it got and they got it the level of spicy. I would recommend you check out this place if you're in East Mesa. | thai | 12,697 |
Restaurent name is: Five Guys
review: Decided to get some burgers for dinner, first off we get there and I realize it\'s a tad bit pricey. I mean 6$ for a " little burger" cmon I can get a whole meal at in n out for that price. As we\'re ordering the lady taking our order is cutting us off Everytime tying to move on to the next Order when I\'m not even finished and she was very rude with no smile or anything. just tying to rush us. So I was not happy about that. THEN my mother orders a drink and the lady forgot to give us a cup so I politely asked if we can have our cup, she rudely says " I thought I gave it to you" I said no we haven\'t gotten one, she rolls her eyes and gives me a cup and just walks away. Don\'t know why her day was so bad but for me being a restaurant for 3+ years that was completely uncalled for....So we\'re waiting for our food and it took quite some time. I want to say we waited about 15-20 mins. We get home and I immediately realized that I did not just pay for 5$ worth of fries and get a half empty cup with soggy and wayyyy to salty fries! No matter how bad I drenched them I\'m ketchup they were just wayyy to salty to eat. Yuck. I even give my dog some fries every now and then and even she didn\'t eat them!!!! I go to eat my burger and I take a bite and realize it\'s a tad undercooked. I want to say not even 30 mins after finishing my meal I was in the bathroom for the rest of the night. I\'m beyond upset I got food poisoning. And not only me but my fianc\xc3\xa9 and mother as well. \nLet\'s just say we will never be returning to an overpriced place with horrible customer service. \nHorrible horrible horrible. Over priced and underwhelmed. The burger was ok the only memorable item was the bacon. The fries which I watched come out of the frier were forgettable. For a better meal at half the price I will stick to in n out. My daughters love Five Guys. I think it is a great concept peanuts everywhere and smell the food when it is cooking however it does take a while to get your food and when you are hungry most anything will taste good. The prices are reasonable but not cheap the selection is basic and that is why people come here. Always had great food from here and great service. Today they comped about $40 worth of food because their payment system was down. That's awesome. I have taken my family to many different Five Guys across the valley, and this one is the best hands down. I can tell the employees are happy to work there. The quality of the food is better because the people working there are having a good time. | american (new) | 12,698 |
Restaurent name is: Cafe Rio Mexican Grill
review: If i could give a 0 i would the first time i went i got a steak burrito i got home and when i say salty i mean inedible so i said maybe it was just a bad day so i went today and tried a different meat shredded pork nachos when i got home i started to eat them annd when i say sweet i mean i have had candy that wasn't that sweet i don't like complaining but if you like super sweet or super salty then this is the place for you i was so disappointed the manager should really try the food before its served because the ambiance is nice the textures of the food are okay i just really think that the cooks are being careless and they know they messing up but they still serve it because they dont want to get in trouble.after my first experience i called the store to tell them and i spoke with Gino he was very polite and told me next Time my food would be on him well when i went today and said his name they looked at me like i was crazy come to find out Gino works at another location well i wished he worked at the onr in chandler because he could teach them a thing or two about being polite People, stop leaning over the germ glass to place your order. It's there for people like you :) . Food is reliable and good. Total bad meal, did not bake cheese on shell, meat cold, wrong cheese on top, no cilantro. , no dressing. NO bueno. Almost like chipotle. I got the chicken salad and it was tasty and lots of toppings! Nothing big to rave about. One thing I really do love is the horchata! I would frequent this place more often if the service was better. The food is great but the staff is terrible. I have come here many times and every time I order they act like it is an inconvenience to make the food. The manager really needs to have a talk with the employees about how to treat a customer! | mexican | 12,699 |
