[ "A long awaited neighborhood restaurant and watering hole! The menu has something for everyone and seems like the type of place I will actually try different items instead of always ordering the same thing. \n\nI'm a sucker for Brie but who can blame me? The Strawberry Turkey sandwich (I ordered as a wrap) was so light and delicious. So nice to have wrap that isn't loaded with sauces and fried food. Speaking fried food, the curly steak fries are an interesting twist on the usually boring steak fry. We also ordered the Del Mar personal pizza that comes with crab and shrimp and some kind of hollandaise sauce that was de-lish! \n\nWe aren't usually big dessert orderers but our excitement for this place overtook our better judgement and we ordered the Fruit Quesadilla (actually on app menu) and it was another fabulous light dessert to satisfy the sweet tooth. They have over 25 beers on draft and a full bar. \n\nThis was their first night open and I can't wait till they get in the groove with the kitchen and bar. Hopefully the crosswalk gets fixed (again...why does that thing keep breaking?!) so neighborhood folk can safely cross Park St.", "The owners know how to make locals feel warm and welcomed from their previous establishments. The food is amazing, prices are just right even cheap in many cases. Huge selection of beers and the menu is never ending.", "Been here for 40 mins and still no sandwich. I am not sure an Italian and meatball parm take that long. I was optimistic and would love to try the food. It doesn't look bad but this is unacceptable to me. The server grabbed an empty bottle of beer from our table, didn't acknowledge food was not here and did not ask about another beverage. The meatball sub was cold and the \"hot\" Italian apparently means a regular Italian with melted cheese. Owner was very nice and apologetic. Explained this has been more of a soft opening with new staff front and back of the house. I really hope I can come back in a month and re-review and hopefully give a better rating and review. It has promise, hope they do what they say when it is time to deliver!", "Had lunch here today. We were a group of eight. Each had something different. We each thought food was very good. Will come back. Food seems to be fixed to order, so not a fast place, but worth the wait! Their take of French Fries are awesome! Inside is somewhat plane in a very fancy space. They need to showcase the bones of the building they are in. An \"Upscale Tavern\" would work so well here. They have the building so make use of what it brings. There are too many just plan places. Use what you were given. Will be back again. Chris was a great waiter. Very good service.", "Menu offers a variety of unique choices. Service was personal and food was excellent. Stopped in for a few appetizers and a drink later in evening. Loved the seafood salad (very generous with seafood mixed with greens with a tasty dressing) and the jerk chicken quesadillas.", "Went on a Thursday evening... Pretty busy in the restaurant, and VERY LOUD. Service was slow, but food was worth waiting for. However, the acoustics will keep us from going back.", "Atmosphere OK, food OK But for owners who want to be a local Tavern, how can you charge 12.00 for a shot of Don Julio tequila and 6.50 for a draft beer. Will drink elsewhere, and maybe drop in once a year for a sandwich and a coke", "Second visit to Jungle Prada last Friday night 08/07. Party of four people. Got to JP at 7:00 PM and were seated very prompt. The place was busy. Full house. We our order, two small pizza, two beer cheese soups, a burger, and the meatloaf dinner. Food started to arrive at around 8:45 PM. Soup was \"Ok\". Pizza came out next and was almost cold. Burger was again just \"Ok\". Meatloaf arrived last at a little after 9:00 PM! Meatloaf was very different, not sure I would order again, but the real kicker was the broccoli side veg was totally raw. They had put in micro for 10 seconds maybe. Really, after two hours you can't cook the broccoli? A manager did bring some more, and was only a little better. This place is very nice, but a two hour wait for any food is beyond. They either need to redo menu to have only sandwich and bar food. Or they must get the kitchen under control. I \"may\" go back, but will have to think about it now. They did not even offer to comp drinks for the long wait.", "This place is great!! I live in the neighborhood and have watched multiple restaurants come and go in the past years and I must say I have a great feeling JP's is gonna last!! Great pizza, homemade fries and a great menu of craft beers!!! I love this place! We are regulars for life", "This location has struggled to find the right fit for a neighborhood restaurant. On the surface, JP Tavern could be the fit!! However, management should focus on a few common issues I've experienced after visiting a few times. Install sound panels to lower the deafening noise that echos throughout the interior. Create some type of separation between the bar area and dining area. The kitchen is not getting the food out in a timely manner at all. Scallop ap came out fast and hot, but steak sandwich and pizza took a while and was luke warm...fries not hot. And please, don't charge me $10 for half a martini, please pour a real drink. If you have to charge more, than do so! We want you to succeed!!! If possible, find a top bartender in this town and steal him/her away to work at JP Tavern." ]

[ "God bless this place. Come here at about 5PM, sit outside (weather permitting), saddle up with a Nolan Porter, and remind yourself how great it can be to live in the old Barrio.", "It was sort of like those disaster movies where the sick passenger is whisked off the plane and driven at high speed right to the emergency room after a rough flight to be revived, except I was just finishing a rough couple of months at work in SD and my friends L and her former brewmaster husband B whisked me from the airport directly to the Barrio Brewing Co. to revive me to my former self.\n\nThe trip there reminds you you're in Tucson, as you drive farther and farther from civilization into an increasingly desolate area of warehouses and train tracks. And then, viola!, another warehouse-looking place, but with a deck with an overhang, and lots of people dressed in Tucson style (everyone looks like they just finished a 20 mile hike), happily drinking beautifully amber colored beer.\n\nThe bottom line, of course, must be the beer, however. And it was outstanding. All N pints that I had. I was going to try a variety but at B's recommendation, started with the Barrio Red and never looked back. Full body, hoppy, perfect. The food was also outstanding (wings, and artichoke dip for starters, reuben for main). That, along with great company, that hot, relaxed Arizona atmosphere and a cute, very nice waitress, made the whole experience worthy of the elusive 5 stars.", "I love this place. It is so great to go here after work or on a weekend and just sit on the patio and watch the sunset. The beer is pretty darned good. My husband digs the porter and i recommend the copperhead pale ale. Food is great (fish tacos, burgers, and pretzel sponges rock). Nice casual atmosphere with a fun mix of people (business professionals from UA and downtown area, artists and others from the local neighborhoods, and blue collar workers from the surrounding warehouse district businesses). It's a good thing. oh, and they are wheelchair accessible. YEY!", "Don't get me wrong I like this place but I like the building, view, area, and overall setting more than I like the beer. Yes it is decent craft beer but I am such a beer snob that it just is not near the best beer I have had or like to drink on the regular. I am a fan of the burgers, the reuben, even the taco's are good. I love going down there when a monsoon is about to hit so I can sit outside on the covered patio and watch it pour. Like I said the building is way cool and they have a shuffle board table. So do check it out it is an easy place to like. And how could I forget what a good deal the happy hour is, four beers $11.00. I think it is from 4-6 don't quote me on that.", "Good beer. Really good reuben sandwich and good veggie sandwich. Best part was the beer battered fries and ranch. Yummo!", "Good beer, decent bar food. \n\nI like the vibe of this place, because it's removed from the University area or 4th Avenue bar scenes which are usually packed with frat boys or scenesters, respectively. It's generally relatively quiet and laid back. The microbrews on tap are good. The food is slightly above average for bar food. One complaint is that I've been by there more than once on a Friday or Saturday night at a relatively early hour and found them closed.", "I really like the atmosphere at this place. Good TV placement for sports.\n\nFood is decent (tacos!) and relatively cheap.", "Okay my ranking is a 4.5 but i can't give that but i definitly don't want to take away their point five. \n\nI went there and i was pretty pumped to try everything after reading and hearing good things about this place. Well first off if you are going for happy hour (which you should) get there a little early so you can get a place to sit and get comfy. \n\nService/Waitresses:\nAt the bar if you are standing there the bartender will make sure to acknowledge they see you and get to you as soon as they can. They don't ignore the crap out of you and wait for you to say \"HEY CAN I GET A BEER HERE!\".. When we sat down after getting our drinks (self seating) the waitress spotted us and came by almost within 1 minute of us sitting and got us menu's and (if we would have been ready our orders). She was definitly ontop of things and didn't get our food mixed up or lost. Kudo's to her (she had a lot of tables)\n\nFood:\nThe food here was surprisingly really good! I was craving wings and potato skins when i went so that is what i ordered. I ask the server for her opinion on the flavor of wings, and she said the Tequila...something.. I was really skeptical cause it didnt sound that great, but in all honesty WOW im getting it again. It was really good! The potato skins were good, not a lot of oil on it and it tasted great! (came out piping hot i think i burned my tongue!) My friend got the spinach and artichoke dip...HOLY COW!!! let me tell you, that thing is well worth 3 dollars (happy hour price). It was a bread bowl filled with the dip and chunks of bread and chips surrounding it. It was amazingly delicious. I think i will go back just for that. I can't wait to try the rest of the food everyone raves about!!! It met and exceeded my food expectations\n\nBeer:\nI am not a beer person so i can't describe anything really great for you. But in my book it was worth my money and it tasted great. All different types for you to try, The three i tried were delicious!! Nothing to complain about. \n\nAtmosphere:\nit was a great place to go out with friends, get some food and relax (play some shuffle board) It is a restaurant so i guess you can bring family but its definitly like a hang out spot for you and the buds or gal buds? It has a warehouse aura (because it is one!) you can see the brewery which is a pretty cool thing. Plenty of seating but Plent of people go there too. I would definitly go to watch the game there. Very strategically placed TV's there.\n\nMy experience here was great, and i want to make this my new hang out after work. It was great\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~EDIT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nSo i went again..Yes in less than a week of each other. I was driving RIGHT next to them and thought...Hey! its happy hour...why not?!\n\nThis experiance fills in the rest of the point .5 to give them the fully earned 5 star rating.\n\nWhen i went i had to try out the burgers which i hear were legendary! Well let me tell you, they know how to make a mean burger. I had the california burger, i believe it has bacon, pepperjack cheese, and guacamole. Unbelievably delicious. Before i got to try this my server nicely walks out and says...I am soo sorry, but we dropped your burger on the floor...I was amazed she came to let me know (why my food was slow) and didn't just throw it back on the plate and go (i know not all places are like the movie \"Waiting\") I really admired this of our waitress. She then also was open in giving recommendations (\"You should definitly get the beer batter fries\" is what she said, without prompting for a recommendation.) I love it when waitresses do this! So i was pumped up to try some good fries...Well since she dropped my burger she gave us a mountain of beer batter fries to make up for it.. Well she is smart because the way to my heart is through my stomach! (don't worry i tipped her really well cause she made my day...TWICE!) Usually I joke with my friends when they mess something up on the food \"They should give me something extra or comp the meal\". The waitress didnt even ask if she could or said she was going to, she just did it and that is what i loved!\n\nOh yah and the full name of the wings i got the first time was \"Tequila Cilantro\". I hate cilantro in all honesty, but this complimented the flavors very well. \n\nMy roomate who went with me is now addicted to this place for the food (since he is still underage he couldnt try any of The BBC's Microbrew).", "When driving around Tucson, my husband and I stumbled upon Barrio Brewing Company. We didn't really need a beer at three in the afternoon, but we liked the look of the place and were lured in. \n\nTo start with, Barrio is in a sort of unlikely location. The area is really a warehouse district, but is on the edge of a neighborhood. Regardless, it's quiet, and we weren't really expecting a lively brew pub. It's in an old warehouse, which they've spruced up with a nice outdoor seating area, complete with a fence made out of artfully welded rebar. \n\nWe ordered one stout and one IPA. Both were very good. My IPA was hoppy, but lacked the overwhelming hoppiness that some IPA's can have (the kind that make you feel like you're drinking a joint instead of a beer). \n\nWe ordered the soft pretzels to soak up our beer, and I was kind of disappointed to find that they were the generic ballpark, from CostCo, prefrozen kind. But then I remembered how much I love anything doughy, got over it my pretzel snobbery and enjoyed it. \n\nOur waitress was great, and checked in frequently. While we didn't get to enjoy it, it looks like they have live music here too.", "If you are driving in this area, and stumble upon this strange semi-seedy looking warehouse(which is only so at first glance, it's actually nice!)...do not pass by! Such a great surprise. Barrio is a cozy brewery that I totally wish I could frequent. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. \n\nWe just stopped in for a few drinks and a munchie(or two), but I would love to get back and try something off the menu. We had pub fries and pretzels, both were good. The fries were nicely seasoned, and the pretzels themselves weren't amazing, but the spicy/sweet mustard was quite tasty. \n\nI would love to go back and hang out on the porch again!" ]

[ "Get thee to Chatham Tap Fishers! We need more independent drinking establishments, and this one does a nice job of offering good, local beers and well above the norm food. Rudy is the bar manager and a helluva nice guy, the staff is enthusiastic and cute, and if we don't support places like this we will consign (or condemn) ourselves to the chain restaurant hell we deserve...", "A notch or two above regular pub food. Good kids menu options including PBJ with the crust cut off. No smoking. Homemade black bean burger was delicious but fell apart easily while eating. Homemade chips were a little overdone but still ok. Overall, a pretty good offering for the area, and I'll be back.", "This is at the site of the former Fionn McCool's in beautiful downtown Fishers, trading in Irish for English. A very deep selection of beer and good food; I had the breaded tenderloin which didn't look too big but was thick and perfect for my appetite. There are several different burgers and every body's favorite English food ... pizza (lol). This is an obvious soccer bar, with lots of signs, jerseys and soccer stuff (even a set of miniture soccer balls in a glass case at the bar), and also a list of the British soccer teams by order of final standing at the north end. Also, a soccer channel was on one of the TVs at the bar at 6 pm on Tuesday. The service as always was great and the bartender and I took very good care of each other.", "I have no idea how this place is getting 4 and 5 stars! I went there for dinner last night and absolutely hated the food. I ordered the steak sandwich and homemade chips. The $8.00 sandwich was served open face made with what was advertised as ribeye. I ordered it medium but it came out well done, thin, very grisly and flavorless. There was an overcooked egg, soggy rasher bacon and spicy pepper cheese on top. It was all horrible and every component tasted the same, like a dirty greasy grill; not flame broiled or charcoal. The homemade chips were stale and orange but had no distinct flavor, perhaps they were sweet potatoes but there is no way to be sure because it was covered in some flavorless red-orange salt. \n\nThe service was very slow. Our drink order was taken fairly quickly but I had to track down our waiter to place our meal order after a very long wait.", "I went today for lunch. I don't have a lot to say. The atmosphere was mellow and \"brewpubery\". My mom ordered the chicken club on black bean and salsa bread and I had the spicy steak salad. Both were good....nothing that I would crave again. I thought my steak was a little chewy and overdone but it was still not horrible. I think it was priced a little high ($10 for a salad) but our service was fine and they kept my tea refilled. We were in and out in under 40 minutes, which is pretty good. \n\nNothing spectacular. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it again, but if I were in the area, I wouldn't turn my nose up at it either. There were tons of menu items that looked worth giving a shot! :) \n\nWow, this review was BOR-ING.", "Chatham Tap Fishers took over the Fionn McCool's spot in downtown Fishers with high expectations of serving the \"non-chain restaurant\" crowd. Most of their beers are imports and Indiana Craft Beers - they feature Sun King and I also found Bell's from MI and New Belgium from CO. \nThe perfect pair at Chatham is the pork tenderloin sandwich (get it fried) and a Sun King Osiris Pale Ale. The Osiris comes in cans, but that's okay - it's fresh and local. \nThe staff is hit or miss on beer knowledge but they rock at taking care of families and most of them are Fishers kids. \nThe pizzas and chicken wings at the Downtown Chatham Tap have always been great but I haven't had a chance to try them in Fishers yet.", "Had a date night here with the boyfriend on Friday. Was originally looking to take him to the Irish Fionn McCool's, and realized that Fionn's had been replaced. This Chatham is a HUGE step up from its Mass Ave counterpart. Higher class clientele and the bar and service staff is a step up as well. The hostess stand is a group of young high school aged gabbers, but hey, its what I did then too!\nHe had the heart stopper, a burger with a fried egg and 2 patties, He had to take it apart to eat and loved it! I had the black and blue, cooked to order, tender and juicy, not a big fan of rasher bacon, but I really enjoyed it!\nJeff our server was very energetic and welcoming and gave his honest auggestions about what to and not to order by his recommendations!\nWill go back, but not in a big rush to do so!!!", "My friends and I chose this place initially because it was smoke-free. Thank goodness it is! They have a really good beer selection on tap and and in bottles. It was the first time I ever had Southampton's Double White Ale. Super good! \nThe was pretty good too! Between all of us, we had the fried pickles, fish & chips, \"The Englishman in Italy\" sandwich, Reuben sandwich, and a cheeseburger. The awesome sides were the onion rings, fries, and pub chips. It ended up being 80 bucks with tip, which seems a bit pricey, since we all had one entree and one beer.", "I don't know about this place as a bar, maybe it can rate higher, but I don't think anything here is that interesting as far as a restaurant goes. I thought the food at Fion McCools (which used to be here) was at least different and more intriguing. This is generally standard bar stuff. I'll admit the nachos were pretty tasty, though.\n\nThe decor is basically the same as it was with McCools. Basically it's gone from Irish to English.\n\nThe one thing I can say is, you're getting decent value. For 3 of us, with 2 beers and an appetizer and burgers/sandwiches, we were under $50 with tip. That's not bad.", "Service is good. Burgers are good. Sandwiches are excellent. Beer selection is the best in the area. The rotating taps are always great. They carry the latest Sun King Brewing products. Try the nachos." ]

[ "As a transplant from southern california, its important for me to find some good ethnic cuisine. I checked a website that has a bunch of different kinds of ethnic foods around Indy (http://www.indyethnicfood.com). \n\nThis place was definitely a good find. The parking lot is a bit shady, but thats to be expected in that area of indy. The decor in the restaurant was really nice and inviting. The service was very quick as well. I got the pho, which was very good, although the broth was a bit stronger in terms of a meaty taste that I wasn't used to. However, the overall taste was still delicious. The spring rolls were also good, although definitely not great. \n\nPrice was moderate, you aren't going to break the bank, but its not super cheap either. \n\nOverall I would recommend it to people who have never had Vietnamese food (specifically pho) and for people who want to find a good Vietnamese place in Indy.", "I like this place, The food is good, I especially love their Mocha Bubble Tea. It is great for lunch, very inexpensive. The atmosphere is pretty typical, but luckily the lighting is not harsh. The service is excellent. I eat here often from work which is close. Authentic food. Try it out this is easy, fast and good.", "pho at this place tastes like it was really cooked in a pot on the stovetop rather than in the microwave....if you like lots of bean sprouts in your pho like i do, you may have to ask for extras when you place your order (most pho shops don't charge extra and not knowing the amount of sprouts i'd get at this place, i didn't ask for extras)...\nseasonings in their entrees are strong enough for this Asian w/an aversion for bland and mild flavored foods...\nimpressive menu selection at this place...w/an Asian grocery store next door, you can get your shopping done while waiting on your food...and i suppose having a grocery store next door allows this restaurant to offer such a diverse selection of dishes...\nfamily friendly atmosphere...\nif you love the 3 bean dessert like i do, this is one of the few places in Indy i've found to have it....not as great as what i'm used to back in the heartland...\noverall, an excellent place to fill up on reasonably priced (well, for being in Indy anyway) and tasty, authentic Asian cuisine...", "Best Vietnamese food I've ever had. They have a whole vegetarian section and everything on it is delicious. Their spring rolls are the best I've ever tasted. I go nutz for their vegetarian soup too.\n\nThey are closed on Tuesdays, I think, which always throws me off and I've driven there sooooooo many times only to discover that they are closed. Worst.", "I love their chicken pho. There isn't anything better than a huge pot of soup and noodles on a cold day. It's always funny to look around the restaurant and see that half the tables are eating the same thing! The owner is very friendly and the prices are very reasonable.", "Vietnamese restaurants are known mainly in the US for their \"pho\", hot rice noodle soup. But my favorite is actually \"bun\", cooler noodles with just a little broth on the side. \n\nI had the Bun Ga (cool noodles with chicken) with egg roll (#85 or thereabouts), and I loved it! It was $7.50. Soft drink with refills was $1.75.\n\nIt came with crushed peanuts on it, which was good. But I don't remember seeing peanuts mentioned as part of the ingredients in the description. So if you're allergic to anything, be sure to ask the waiter if it's in the dish you're considering. The menu was not written so as to mention common allergy items.\n\nI really like bun dishes. They come with fresh bean sprouts, some green leafy stuff, mint, and (I think) lemongrass. The cool bun noodles are not refrigerator cold, but are more cool than warm. There is a small cup of soup broth served on the side. After I eat the meat part of the dish, I put the soup broth in the big bowl with the other ingredients and mix everything up. I don't know if that's the traditional way of eating it, but it's what I like.\n\nOur Vietnamese waiter appeared to speak fluent English.\n\nThere's a big flat screen TV in the dining area.\n\nThey also have carry-out.\n\nI'd have to rate this place at least equal to King Wok Nha Hang Co Do, and Sizzling Wok Hai, both of which are further up Lafayette Road (4100 to 4300 or so).\n\nIf I remember correctly, the restroom has been remodeled, and looked better than before. Decor is kind of dark and low-lighted. Ceiling is black and open (no drop-down ceiling tiles) exposing the rafters and HVAC but since it's all painted black, it works. They usually keep the blinds at the front window closed since it faces West.\n\nThe popular Bubble Tea is on the menu.\n\nMenu is pretty extensive with well over 100 entres, sorted by type of dish, Pho or Bun, or rice combo.\n\nAll the other diners I overhead seemed to realy enjoy their meals too. The next table over asked the waiter to recommend a seafood entree, and they really liked it.", "Good food, fair price. Overall, an enjoyable lunch.", "I really enjoy this place. I don't go often enough! Last night I introduced it to my friends Adam and Andy, and they both said they would defiantly be back! Andy is a vegetarian and foodie so that says something.\n\nI had the duck with bamboo noodle soup. The broth was tasty and the duck tender. The bamboo was tough and woody so I think next time I would go with the duck and mushroom, or something different. We shared the vegetarian egg rolls and they were excellent. I also tasted an appetizer that had beef and shrimp crackers that was great. \n\nI'll be back!", "You think it's a hole in the wall...then you walk in and realize the walls are PINK and it looks pretty nice!\n\nBesides being pleasantly surprised by the decor, the food was also surprisingly tasty. You can't go wrong with the BUN BO HUE, it's just the right amount of spicy. The BUN with pork and eggroll is also good, make sure to dump the entire bowl of fish sauce they give you into the bowl! Chicken with lemongrass tasted refreshing and the rice plates are big and filling. All reasonably priced also.\n\nPASS on the BOBA. No good. Boba was tough and the slush was too sweet. Couldn't even finish the cup.\n\nFor the road, make sure to get a BANH MI (vietnamese sandwich) to go! These are a RARITY in the midwest so definitely jump at the chance to eat them!", "Sure, banh mi is as prevalent in San Jose & Staten Island as it is in Saigon. I'm betting there's more banh mi food trucks in Austin than there are Viet restaurants in Indy; this doesn't matter because all you need is one. And banh mi-ny moons ago, I had one banh mi, and I was howling. My like for Vietnamese food is one thing, but my love for the banh mi specifically is another plateau.\n\n*Pâté or BBQ Beef or, really, any meat they'd like to add. \n*Cucumbers\n*Cilantro\n*Carrots Julienne \n*Jalapenos\n*French Roll\n\nThis fusion creates an incomparable sandwich experience. What always takes me back is the price -- $4! I've never paid more than $5, and the Saigon Restaurant is the same at $3.75 & 4. I ordered both and while the bbq beef was juicy, tender & rich, the pâté had an incredible flavor to it. Borderline holiday glaze... like a nutmeg-y / cardamom sweet spice to it. \n\nTucked behind Bud's Tavern at 30th & Lafayette, in the strip mall with Guatelinda & Cairo Cafe. 30th & Lafayette is fit for a food / bar crawl with the emergence of diverse eats & dives!\n\nSaigon is cozy, gracious, AND next time I'll be sure to order the Vietnamese coffee as they make it fresh by the cup! \n\nThe menu is plentiful and full of Pho." ]

[ "Desi Village, Inc. is venturing into a third location along Baltimore Avenue in West Philadelphia, only not a restaurant. Mood Cafe, a coffee shop with South Indian flair, is set to open in early May.\n\nI had a conversation with the owner of Mood Cafe as he was supervising the exterior being painted the customary orange of many of the Desi Village, Inc. locations.\n\nUnlike Desi Village and Desi Chaat House, the emphasis at Mood Cafe will be on beverages. Cafe standards like coffee, tea, lattes and espresso will be available as well as Chaat House favorites including freshly squeezed juices. Unlike other locations, plans are in the works for nearly a dozen different varieties of lassi. Chaat will also be available.\n\nIt will be interesting to see if this location becomes an option for residents south of Baltimore Avenue for whom The Satellite, The Green Line, and The Gold Standard are not viable options.", "Visited the mood cafe twice in its first week of operation. Lassis are amazing. I'll second another reviewer's plug for the triple berry lassi. \n\nHassan, the owner, is a super enthusiastic guy who is really proud of his product. He talked to us at length about how much he loved being able to have a business that served lots of different types of fresh juice. He let us try the carrot juice, grape juice and we bought OJ. The grape juice is a little too sweet, but who knows: maybe my taste buds just miss welch's preservatives? I'm no vegetable lover, but carrot juice is HELL of refreshing, and I expect to hit it up many times this summer.\n\nchaat: i'm not an expert but i'll try to describe this mix of delicious. i had the dhokla and it was amazing. the breadish thing at the bottom is midway between spongecake and cornbread. on top of that is a mix of yogurt, pretty colored sauces, potatoes, and (i don't know) lots of other things that combine to make a taste that is at once tangy, sweet and savory. \n\ngo to there.", "I have been here twice since it has opened. First of all, great signage. It is extremely clear what your options are: Lassi, fresh fruit juice, shaved ice, milk shakes, and ice cream amongst other options. There are a few interesting flavors that I have yet to try, including the salt lassi (buttermilk) and sandalwood. \n\nThe owner is extremely nice. He takes time to talk to customers about what goes into each item that is ordered. He's also plied us with a few generous samples of milkshakes, lassi, and ice cream. \n\nI have had a strawberry and mango milkshake so far and have sampled lassi ordered by a few of my friends. Everything was tasty. You know when a milkshake is good and everything is where it needed to be. We also sampled the fresh watermelon juice. It was like drinking a watermelon. \n\nFYI, the shakes are lighter than the lassi, so if you want something on the lighter side go with one of those. \n\nIt is really nice to see a shop akin to an ice cream parlor in West Philly, especially one as unique as Mood Cafe. Go order something!", "I love orange. I love orange buildings where they offer orange things to eat and drink, then use the orange fruit pulp to mulch the orange marigolds in the orange-rimmed tree lawns out front. If Mood Café's \"mood\" is reflected by their color scheme, then that works for me. \n\nAlso the Mood offers vegan lassi in 20+ flavours. However, the Mood uses almond milk, which tends to overpower the fruit--Maybe switch to rice milk so that we can taste the fruit?\n\nNow all that Baltimore Ave needs are dosas and a proper kati roll and we'll be good to go...", "From the people who brought you Desi Village and Desi Chaat House comes Mood Cafe, a nice little addition to Baltimore Ave.\n\nA friend and I stopped in a couple of weeks after opening in search of something suitable for obscenely hot weather - meaning not too heavy and a short walk away. I also remembered seeing that they served lassi and milkshakes, so off we went!\n\nMy friend comes from a sad, sad place where she can get Indian food but not chaat. I feel bad for her. So she was a little overwhelmed and watched carefully as the guy at the counter explained everything he was going to do to my papri chaat. That was no simple task, since this chaat was loaded up like you would not believe. I can't even begin to list all the things that went into it, just layer after layer of all good things. Maybe a little heavy-handed on the sauce so it got soupy toward the end, but every bite brought something new.\n\nIn fact, it was loaded up enough that we considered sharing. We were talked into getting a couple of samosas to go with, which was very kindly turned into samosa chaat just to make our tastebuds happier. And, seeing that my friend was unused to chaat, the owner told her not to pay until after she'd eaten. Very nice of him. She loved it, though!\n\nEven though were were stuffed from our chaat orgy, dessert was needed. Namely, something cold! My friend was intrigued by the sandlewood shaved ice (something I will be trying someday) but sadly the ice machine had not been delivered yet! We both ended up with saffron milkshakes, a great choice. The shakes are made thin, which means you can suck them down on a summer day without feeling like you'll explode. The saffron ice cream is heavy on the pistachio, but tasty and something you're not going to find everywhere.\n\nOverall, Mood Cafe was a great experience. It's obvious that the owner is really going out of his way to bring in business and distinguish this location from Desi's other spots. He's doing a great job, and I'm glad to help by raving about the food and service! Another trip or two that good and I'll bump them up to 5 stars for sure!", "Okay, first, I have to say that Secret V. is going to have to update his/her review-- Mood Cafe does serve Vegan Lassis and now has a sign in the window to advertise them! :-) \n\nHassan, the owner, is awesome. Friendly, generous, and is really proud of his product. As he should be -- the lassis are amazing. I had the strawberry and mango lassis, and they were the perfect flavor and texture. He has a ton of other flavors, too -- mint, honey, blueberry, etc.-- so I can already see that I'm going to spend most of my summer trying them all. \n\nAdd to that the juice-- seriously, I might have found a new addiction with the carrot juice. I don't even eat carrots in their natural state-- but the juice?! So pure, so sweet, so cold and refreshing. I had one last night and I tried to go by to get one again this morning (but it wasn't open yet)!\n\nThey also serve beet juice, apple juice, and others-- ALL FRESH-SQUEEZED! And delicious! Seriously, Mood Cafe makes an all-liquid diet seem like a good idea. I also ate a couple of samosas that Hassan dressed for me with peas and other flavors - the spices were so yummy and the toppings made it SO good. The perfect complement to the liquid ambrosia I had been consuming earlier. \n\nI have no doubt I'm going to be making my way to Mood Cafe many times this summer. I'm only afraid that with stuff this tasty, the place may get TOO popular!", "UPDATE: Since Hassan has made various additions to the menu, I am compelled to write an update to the review I wrote earlier.\n\nThe new additions are the kabobs, meals and soups...perfect for the cooler weather. The meals are wholesome and like 'home-made meals', especially the daals. The Shami kabobs are excellent!!\nHaving a sweet tooth, the newly added sweets also caught my eye. I tried the ras malai and carrot halwa, and they are delicious!\n\nIn spite of all these additions, one thing is the same - Hassan's enthusiasm and love for what he does. The taste and quality of all his products is consistently good! Its already a regular haunt for me, but with the frequent, new and absolutely lip-smacking additions Hassan is always making, it is a fun trip everytime! Whenever I go there, I have this question - what new, yummy thing will Hassan have today? And I must say, I have never been disappointed!\n------------------------\nComing from the land of chaat and lassis, I must say, I am impressed! I discovered it, right on its second day of existence, and rejoiced to find not just chaats and lassis, but awesome milkshakes, shaved ice and FRESH SQUEEZED juices. So far, I have been here about 5 times, getting something new each time. Usually, I am the kind who sticks to my favorites and is wary of venturing onto something new, but this place has so many tempting options, that you just have to try them. \nThe chaats are quite authentic with all the chaat-imperative sauces and ingredients spot on. I especially love the aloo paapri chaat and the dhokla chaat. \nHassan, the owner, is enthusiastic and is really proud of the products he serves. He especially prides himself on selling fresh juices, which true to the word and absolutely fresh, delicious and refreshing, with no preservatives or sugar, Hassan proudly states. He is generous and gives you samplers the juices ready - the latest addition to the list is grape juice, quite delicious. My favorites are the orange juice and apple juice, with the carrot juice and beet juice following at a close second place.\n\nThe lassis and the milkshakes are divine! My choice would be: the all-berry lassi and the saffron milk-shake (Hassan made me a special one, after I told him that I like cooling flavor of sandalwood too). \n\nGotta go there!", "All I can say is \"wow.\"\nI'm a BIG fan of Indian food, but I had never had a chaat til today, and let me tell you, all these Indian restaurants got Indian food wrong. This is some real, down-home cookin', IndiPak style. I wandered in alone after a random tip, and, man, was it amazing. \n\nThe fresh-squeezed juices are AMAZING (try something you've never had before -- watermelon juice is just incredible), the owner taught me a lot about Indian food and cooking in general, and everything was out of this world. Oh, and they're vegan friendly!\n\nMy recommendation: go in with $10, ask the owner for a chaat of his choice and a lassi with your favorite fruit (forget mango, way to common), and, if it's not busy, talk to the owner the whole time you're eating. I promise, you WON'T be disappointed.", "They just don't come any nicer than the owner Hassan - a generous, humble, and sincere human being. And then there's the lassi, the ice cream and the chaat. At 9:55pm on a Saturday night we got great service, with a smile ... and an extra scoop or two of ice cream. Thank you Mr. Hassan.", "The Mood Cafe is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood and Mr. Hassan is so friendly and helpful. Whenever I go in he always recommends new and interesting flavors that are usually right on the money. I took my dad in to try a lassi and when he didn't like them Mr. Hassan kept letting him sample menu items until my dad found something that he liked. I really appreciate a business owner who goes the extra mile and interacts with his customer. \nI will be back next week for a pineapple mint lassi." ]

[ "When I first visited Nashville for a tour of Belmont University years ago, the locals I knew here took me to SATCO first. I don't know if it was because it was new or what, but I loved it.\n\nJust recently, I took a friend there for lunch. I hadn't been in awhile, but was expecting the same experience. I'll agree with Sarah - the cheese sauce is great, but the tacos I had didn't do it for me. It has moved down on my list of places to go when in that area. It is still good food, there's just better around.", "This is categorically both a Hillsboro Road and Nashville institution. This place is great, especially in the spring and summer, if you want to enjoy the outdoors a bit as well as Hillsboro Road people watching. I believe they still heat the deck during the winter, which allows you to enjoy the outdoors, while staying nice, warm, and toasty. A reasonable selection of brews, as well. Pretty reasonably priced & generally pretty quick. Occassionally the lunch time rush can take a bit of time, which just gives you time to check up on the sports on the TV, talk to your friends, or read the Nashville Scene. (4.5)", "3 1/2 stars (we need half stars!)\nFor the price, SATCO is a great place to go for a quick lunch on a nice day. A quick walk from the Vanderbilt Hotel (just across the street from Vanderbilt Univ), this place will get you in and out. Grab an order of their chips and cheese sauce to share with the table--though it would be nice if this came with your order rather than having to purchase. I enjoyed their beef tacos (and I have high standards for Mexican food)--my husband had the fajitas and said they were average.", "Cheap, satisfying tacos and buckets of beer. This is a college kids' dream, so close to Vanderbilt's campus, where you can happily truck along with an open container without fear of retribution or a night in N-ville's oft-sung about prison system.\n\nDownside is you have to purchase condiments, like sour creme, when they are a given compliment to the food you've ordered. The service is nothing to brag about, but that isn't why you come to SATCO.\n\nHaving arrived into town late this was one of my only options, and it definitely hit the spot. A great introduction to the Vandy culture, SATCO also attracts some pretty good looking people, so grab a table on the patio and enjoy the tacos, beer, and scenery.", "Very good food. Cheese dip is outstanding! Homemade tortillas. Great atmosphere on the deck. I skipped many classes during college to hang out there with my friends.", "Pretty cheap and pretty good. And hey, it's fun circling your meal choices. I usually get one chicken taco and either one pulled pork or one chili taco (I've tried the beef, but they are too tough, in my opinion). If you are a super cheapskate, you can save 50 cents by not circling tomatoes, and instead adding salsa on your tacos instead (which is free and located near the napkins, utensils, etc). The homemade tortillas are great, too! \n\nThe chips and queso REALLY make the meal, though they are a bit pricey compared to the tacos (around $5). \n\nWhen I've skipped the queso and skimped on taco toppings, I've had dinner here for around $5. Can't beat that.", "SATCO has been a longstanding Nashville establishment. The appeal of the place is two fold. One: The cheese dip and homemade tortillas are the best I have ever had. The rest of the food is pretty good, but what really makes the place wonderful is the second aspect. Two: The atmosphere is possibly the best in the country for a group of people on a nice day. They have a large outdoor patio across the street from Vandy's campus. This is a place you can sit for hours, drink buckets of beer, watch the world go by and BS with friends.\n\nI have moved away from Nashville, but every time I go back, SATCO is on the list of places to go. I will be there later this month, and I am thrilled. Cold beers, good friends, and hanging outside on a beautiful night is the essence of Nashville.", "Conceptually, I love SATCO. It's great to have a West Coast style taco/Tex-Mex joint right in the heart of the city. I love the little order cards, which allow you to choose exactly how you want your items made and see how much each one is going to cost based on toppings, et cetera. Unfortunately, the food itself just isn't amazing.\n\nSATCO's location is prime. It's right across the street from Vandy, and the patio out front is a spectacular spot to dine. They even have several space heaters for eating outdoors even when the weather's less than perfect. The staff, however, has been snappy with me on an occasion or two. One time I nearly (accidentally, mind you) took one of the tiny pencils used for writing out your order; the girl at the counter scolded me as though I was grabbing a handful of bills from the tip jar.\n\nAnyhow, the tacos, enchiladas and other traditional tortilla concoctions are decent. They certainly aren't the best in the city (or in that part of town, for that matter). Everything is relatively cheap, and if you're a Vanderbilt student I could certainly understand frequenting the place merely as a matter of convenience. However, I never go out of my way to visit this joint, and I wouldn't recommend that you do it either.", "Wow, I can't believe how much I miss this place. I spent many an undergraduate day on the patio sipping cold beers and enjoying cheese dip (which is the best ever). The location is amazing, and since I used to live at 20th and Grand I did not have far to go to enjoy the grub when coming back from campus. \n One other thing that my buddy and I figured out, we always went right before they were closing and they always piled free food on us. Every time we always walked away with our order plus a free bag of chips and bean dip or cheese dip or anything else they were just going to toss at the end of the day. Thanks SATCO for all the good times and great food.", "The San Antonio Taco Co, affectionately known as SAT Co, is a taco place with a location in downtown Nashville. It is a Tex-Mex style restaurant. They have a no frills style for ordering, you simply get in line, well actually first you should grab an order sheet, and write down what you want, if you get in line without having your order ready, you could cause problems. I have been line jumped by eager sorority girls hungry for tacos... so be careful. \n\nYou can order up tacos with hard shell or soft shell and you get to pick exactly what you want in each item. The fixings include guacamole, tomatoes, the stuff you would expect at a Tex-Mex place. The food is not spectacular but it is very cheap. It is a favorite spot for a post-hangover meal, judging by the patrons who are often wearing what looks to be pajamas. Or if you just want a cheap lunch downtown, this is a good choice too." ]

[ "So I pulled into the parking lot, took a look at the sign and geared up to be mad at some Mexicans. I didn't know if I should be just annoyed, actually mad, or really furious. It's kind of weird because I think Mexicans are fine folks and I'm rarely pissed off at them. So as I walked in the door I thought that growling a little like I was actually mad would do.\n\nI sat at the bar and ordered a house marg on the rocks with salt. The pleasant bartender said I could have many different sizes so I went with 16 oz., for $7.50. It was served in a pint draft beer glass, very cold, nicely strong, and very tart. It was a little too tart for me but generally a decent drink at an ok non-happy hour price.\n\nI was asked if I desired chips and salsa and said sure. I received a small bowl of slightly warm, mostly broken, tasted like from a bag chips. The salsa was very thick and spicy. Overall they were substandard but they were free. \n\nFor my meal I choose Barbacoa Tacos for $14. This was three soft tacos with red chile braised beef, cotija cheese, tomatillo-Avocado Salsa, shaved red cabbage, radish and chopped cilantro. These folks are a Pittsburg based chain so for you folks that have been there, I was worried that there were going to be French fries on my taco. Thank God there wasn't a fry in site. My tacos came with beans and rice and were a solid three stars filling meal. \n\nThroughout my meal there were several folks that \"touched\" me and they were uniformly excellent. Clearly four star customer service.\n\nWhat about the atmosphere you ask? These folks are a chain and it feels like a chain.\n\nWill I be back? Absolutely! This is week one for them and I'm sure they'll evolve over the next month. BTW- when I walked out I wasn't mad, just stuffed!", "A fun addition to Wynnewood, special thanks to server Allison and the manager for a fantastic job. Loved the open wall; fantastic idea and new for the area.\n\nSecond visit was not great. A very, very long wait for our order. Some service issues to be ironed out.", "Tasty Mexican food, full bar, and open until 2am, making this a handy new addition to Wynnewood's dining scene. I ordered take-out, and it was a little disorganized, but the place has been open less than a week, so hopefully they'll get that sorted out. Large portions and reasonable prices. Bar crowd a little drunk and rowdy though, so I'm a little wary of dealing with potentially tipsy drivers in the parking lot.", "The ambiance is very day of the dead. I really liked the dim light and paintings on the walls. The servers were friendly but the drinks and food were pricy and just ok. I had a burrito that was mostly rice and lacked flavor. I'd expect to pay $12 in the city for a margarita but not anywhere else.", "Uh oh. You know you're in trouble when you move from one course to another hoping (in this case vainly) for some hint of improvement in the quality of the fare. Mad Mex wants you to believe that they're serving \"funky fresh Cal-Mex\" cuisine. Well, it certainly was funky, but in a damp basement sort of way.\n\nNote to the owners: Your kitchen is too far from the floor. You've packed the place with tables but skimped on server stations and MICROS for use by wait staff. This means that full plates of food are sitting under heat lamps in the faraway kitchen. Consequently the dishes you're serving are arriving at tables in an overdried state. \n\nThe whitefish in a fish taco should be slightly crispy on the inside but moist on the outside. Ours was shriveled and tasteless. We each thought the rice on our plates was terribly undercooked until we realized that it had been dehydrated in your kitchen. Same for the beans. Yuck.\n\nMy molé enchilada was pedestrian, at best. The chicken seemed processed and the sauce was woefully devoid of cocoa (or cloves, or anise). In fact, everything on the table -- from the mushy, bland and porridge-like tortilla soup to the store-bought chips -- was underseasoned, overdried and tasteless. We held out some small hope for the avocado and tomatillo salsa but it, too, did not fail to disappoint. \n\nWhen you advertise a $12.00 margarita as an \"ultimate\" and promise a cocktail made with Sauza Hornitos Reposado, Combier Liqueur d'Orange, Grand Marnier, and fresh citrus one expects some pop in the mouth, no? Not so. How long was that container of pre-mixed margarita juice sitting in the fridge under the bar? To call your Ultimate Margarita flat is an insult to flat. \n\nYour wait staff are harried to the point of distraction because the trek from table to kitchen is too long and too far. And to add insult to injury you've replaced the traditional server's check folder with little wooden steampunky spring clipboards that cannot be stacked in a server's apron pocket -- so they have to tote them around one at a time and cross vast expanses of the floor to get from a MICRO to a customer's table. Really? \n\nThis new Mad Mex location occupies the space vacated by a Borders. It's enormous, and comes complete with very high ceilings and terrible acoustics. The noise levels are therefore deafening. Owners, please install ceiling baffles and turn down the music. The only benefit that seems to accrue from creating such a sonically unwholesome space is that you can't hear yourself thinking about the terrible, awful, very bad food.", "I've been curious to try Mad Mex since it opened in its Wynnewood location a few weeks ago since I'd heard mixed reviews about their other locations. I went for a friend's birthday celebration and I wish I could say I had a better experience, but things just went from bad to worse. \nWe put our name in when we arrived and were waiting at the bar for our table for quite a while (maybe 30 minutes) when someone went to check to see how much longer it would be and they had crossed our name off the wait list, which made absolutely no sense. They said it would be about ten more minutes until a table opened for the 8 of us. Meanwhile, two people in our party ordered their food at the bar since they were in a bit of a rush. \nSoon after, we were seated. After ordering, it took a while to get our food, but when we did, I didn't notice the waitress coming around the table and was looking in the other direction when suddenly, I leaned forward a bit and bang!! The waitress had knocked a couple of the big heavy plates she was serving right into my tooth and my wrist. She must have been placing them down with a lot of force, because she came pretty hard against my tooth and wrist, enough to leave my wrist really red and bruised and my tooth sore. So granted this was an accident and the waitress was very apologetic about the incident, part of me definitely expected her to at least offer me a free meal, which in my opinion would have been the professional way of handling the situation. Not only did that not happen, but when she handed us one big check and we politely asked her if she could split it into individual checks, she insisted that she was very busy and we just write down what we all had on the bill. After this was taking way too long, we decided to just ask again, and she did it, but was obviously not happy about it. \nAnd on top of all that, the food I thought was just mediocre. I had chicken fajitas, which came with a lot of toppings, but the seasoning on the chicken was lacking flavor and had too intense of a lime flavor, which in my mind, the seasoning makes or breaks chicken fajitas. I also didn't care for the guacamole that came on the side. It was also very limey, without much other flavor. The flour tortillas were good though. \nI'd say one other positive in this experience was the ambiance of the restaurant. It seems like this place is one of those restaurants you'd go more for the ambiance and margaritas rather than the food. \nOne last thing...the two others in our party who ended up sitting at the bar to eat their meals said that it took 30 minutes just for them to get their check, so they couldn't even join us after they'd finished.", "Very...very...overpriced for a burrito full of rice and about 6 pieces of burned, chopped up chicken. Even more disapointed with the fact that I paid 7.50 and got a bowl of broken tortilla chips with a TINY little side dish sized glass of guac for the appethizer item, \"guacamole.\" Would think that this should have been the standout item here but not the size nor the blandness pulled through.\n\nWill absolutely NOT be back unless the quality goes UP and the prices come DOWN.\n\nThanks Mad Mex.", "I am lovingggg this new Mad Mex location. It is def a change of scenery from the University city Location. This location is more geared toward families and older crowd. Staff is excellent, decor is wonderful, and most of all the food was soooo delicious !!! Def will be back", "Huge disappointment! We sat at the bar where generally you get better service but it took a 1/2 hour to get our appitizer, chips and 3 dips. The margurita was decent. \nWe waited and waited, the bartender never checked to refill our drinks and we had to stop her to ask what happened to our app. She went runnung to the kitchen, came back, looked like she was finally entering our order into the computer, returned to us and said the manager is making it now. Then she put a basket of broken, slightly warm chips, and way too thick salsa, in front of us. After the chips and dips we waited so long for the tacos we ordered that we lost our appetite and asked for our check.\nLove Mexican so hopefully the just need some time to jell.", "Went with a group of 5 at 7:15 Friday night. Told the wait would be 1 hour. Was seated at about the hour mark. Very very loud...sat at round table for 6, could not hear the people across the table. Took almost 45 min to get dinner after order placed. Expressed some frustration with the server who apologized and said....\"the kitchen is just really busy\". Asked if I could speak to the manager and she said \"of course, I will send him right over\". He never came by. \nCould avoid so much of this with a reservation policy, imo." ]

[ "Bareburger, a small chain from New York, just opened a franchise in Philadelphia on Monday. They are currently only open for dinner, but will be expanding to lunch after a couple of weeks, as well as getting a liquor license.\n\nAs you can imagine, Bareburger sells mostly burgers, but I think it's fairly different from the other burger joints in the city. They serve a variety of meats, ranging from traditional beef and turkey to more exotic meats like elk and wild boar (they also have veggie burgers, of course). All of their meat is organic, humanely raised, GMO-free, and free range. In fact, most of their products/decor is made from some sort of recycled material. If you're not into burgers, they also sell salads and other sandwiches.\n\nThe burgers were delicious. We ordered the Hog Wild and a make-your-own burger comprised of beef, stout onions, special sauce, and cheddar. The service was quick and the burgers came out cooked the way we asked. They were tender and juicy and extremely tasty.\n\nThe staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu.\n\nThe prices are reasonable for what you get, but do be prepared that the burgers come a la carte, so sides are extra.\n\nI would absolutely recommend Bareburger to anyone who loves burgers, whether or not you care about the organic/free range aspect of it.", "All of the ingredients are organic, there's table service, it's unique. I had a buckaroo burger, beef, brisket, cheese, sauce, and amazing mushrooms, not slimy mushrooms, but w. light crunch and tons of flavor. Ordered a basket of rings/fries, also excellent. had a peanut butter shake to go. Lots of variety on the menu, elk, bison, plus tons of vegetarian options. \n\nMet the owner, he's 23 and fierce, but in a good way. There was a small glitch in my order and he came over to the table and had a conversation, and made sure the issue was resolved. He told me about the process of learning the business which involved being at another Bareburger and covering every job until he knew them thoroughly. \n\nWe need this new generation of go-getters in Philly--brings something new to the table--so to speak. \n\nDécor is comfortable, lots of wood, interesting light fixtures, not overly loud. Lighting is toned down so you can relax. Servers know the menu thoroughly. It's pricey, compares to lunch at a Stephen Starr place but the quality is definitely there and no one is offering so many interesting combinations of burgers. \n\nShake Shack is my favorite for simple flavors, (Spike's) Good Stuff Eatery is my favorite for over the top juiciness and volume of food. Bareburger is by favorite for great taste, amazing ingredients, and a cozy but hip space w. great service. (I'm not defining myself as hip, by any means but I appreciate the vibe). I'll be back.\n\nSaw recently that they have a lunch special, not sure what it is, but price was $11.95. If it's a burger and fries, it's definitely worth it!", "Just opened Monday. Happened to stumble by while walking to another restaurant. We decided to pop in and give it a try. Apparently bare burger is a chain, originating in NYC. It's all organic and sustainable, which is pretty rad! I had the grind house burger made with elk. Sooo hard to find good game meat anywhere! Elk is my fave meat and this burger was juicy and cooked to a perfect med rare. \nWe also split a snack size order of fries and rings. It came with 4 dipping sauces. The only one that was good was the special sauce. All in all, excellent burgers, great variety of game meats, and the friendliest staff. Def a must try if your a burger fanatic. I'm glad to be the first to review this joint! Eat there and thank me later!", "Best burger in the city. Beats Good Stuff and Village Whisky for me. Can't wait until they can serve beer too.", "Hmmmm--I must have eaten in a different place than the other reviewers. Hostess was not at her place when we arrived--and when we walked in, she was less than enthusiastic in her greeting. The space is nice--4 of us were seated in a nice booth. Our waiter was very energetic and informative--although maybe a little too enthusiastic in his recommendations. He mixed up the orders at our table. While I appreciate the concept, the burgers were ordinary. And expensive. The onion rings were good, but not great. It took about 20-25 minutes to get our food, and just as long to get dessert--vegan carrot cake and chocolate shake. Our waiter made several excuses for the kitchen--for instance, it was the chef's first time making the carrot cake. Seriously?\nOverall, this place has a long way to go in my opinion, and I don't think that I would return. The staff are dressed casually--bordering on sloppy. Our bill totaled over $75 plus tip--way too much for mediocre burgers and a couple of desserts.", "Really cute new burger joint... Kind of a rustic grey decor that sets the tone for its exotic array of beef, elk, boar, and goat burgers. I had the elk and it was fantastic...", "While waiting for the \"Book of Mormon\" lottery the past few days we have been watching them put the finishing touches on this new burger joint. R told me it was open and I was craving a burger so off we went. \n\nWe ordered fries and rings. The onion rings were delicious, but the fries were mushy and not crisp or crunchy. The sauces and the ketchup weren't our cup of tea. The smoke sauce is best, but smuggle in your own Heinz. I also think it's sort of weird that they don't have a soda fountain or gun. It's all bottled soda. With fries/burgers I always want something carbonated and generally a troth of it. I am American after all! So, the burgers come. The buns are bigger than the burger. The buns have these weird seeds on them. Flax? Uncertain. My beef burger doesn't even taste like ground beef. The texture is bizarre. I ate half. I just didn't feel like complaining or I would have. The pickles however are delicious! I had a side of sweet pickles and dill pickles on my burger. The stout onions were good as well. \n\nR had the bean burger and said it had no taste or seasonings. The guac on it she said tasted heavily of raw onion. She was not impressed. She also ordered a vanilla milkshake, but said it was lackluster. \n\nOur bill was 44! Ridiculous we didn't even have cocktails or a dessert. Definitely not returning and hope you will get your burger on elsewhere!", "I'm a big fan of \"exotic\" meats. Went to Bareburger two days in a row. First time I had a Wild Boar burger (The Wiki). Good sprouted wheat bun. It was dressed with pineapple relish and duck bacon. Meat was a bit underdone, even though cooked medium. Delicious burger overall. And very good sweet potato fries. Second day I had a build-your-own Elk burger with Blue Cheese and Alfalfa Sprouts with a side Kale Salad. Again, meat was undercooked. I ordered the hemp milk bun, a gluten free option. Good flavored bun, but dry and crumbly. I think toasting of this bun is NOT needed. Going back today for a third visit. I plan on a goat burger. Stay tuned!", "Delicious organic burger, but a bit overpriced for the size. Sweet potato fries excellent, but also overpriced. Service is good.", "Our server, Carlos, was delightful. We were greeted and seated promptly for lunch. Complimentary water in a glass jug for the table is a nice touch. They have a great selection of exotic meats like elk, wild boar, goat, and bison. I went with the Southern Caviar burger because I'm a sucker for pimiento cheese and it was great. I thought the prices were fairly reasonable for the quality of the items. The seats were comfy and I very much enjoyed the entire experience. I'm excited to go back and try some of the other burgers!" ]

A glass of Luna Benegas helped round out her meal.\n\nI had a very nice beer flight of 4 craft beers which set me up just right for a full size Milk Stout. I tried the Crunchy Cauliflower Appetizer which was quite good along with their special Sirloin Burger with Blue Cheese.\n\nAll in all the meal was very good and the service was excellent. Definitely requires a return visit, perhaps for their dinner menu.", "Earl's. Well everyone I know around here calls it the Salt Lick. The one thing they know how to do is use salt. If you know how to cook you don't need to use so much.\nSorry, We have gone 2 times and both times were horrible.", "We were anxious to try this local spot again after it had been completely remodeled. We always enjoyed the food, but the flow of it and the decor had always fallen short. We were not dissapointed, the ambiance is comfortable, trendy, but, sophisticated enough for an occasion. Our old favorites were still on the menu and lots of cool new things. Love the crab soup. Had the scallops and my husband had the pork chop which was amazing. Dessert was excellent. Really liked all the barn board and the lighting was really unique and eye catching. We will def go back!", "I put this review off for too long because I wasn't sure how I felt about it. This place Is called Earl's, but it isn't Earl's. And I guess this isn't a review so much as it is a comparison between this place, and the place that used to be here before the fire, which was called Earl's.\n We had lunch here last month, not long after they reopened and we were very excited because we loved the old place(5 stars for sure). The new décor inside is totally different from before. Not in a bad way, a lot of natural light, and the wood furniture has a light almost rustic look to it. The old place was a little more intimate, softer lighting, dark mahogany stained wood finishes. I guess the idea of having a more casual atmosphere for the reopening is supposed to help attract more people who haven't been to the old place but, I think the old Earl's felt a little classier, and for the money I'm spending, I don't want to be \"classy pretending to be casual\", I want the goods from the host at the front door to the mints on my way out.\n Two cocktails to start, and they were both very nice. Then salad, which was salad. I have to note here that we almost always get appetizers when we eat out because, well do I need a reason for appetizers? I like to try a lot of stuff so when I go out to eat, I eat a little bit when I get there before I eat while I'm there. Anyway no apps this time, why? There wasn't a great selection to choose from and none of them grabbed me. To be fair, it was lunch, and there are a few more choices for dinner but, even the two or three options I didn't have weren't calling out to me. My wife thinks I was expecting too much of the old place in the new menu. This might be somewhat true, they had some amazing appetizers before. I will never forget the first time I had there Portobello fries.Crispy beer batter on the outside, hot delicious Portobello on the inside, served in a ramekin full of garlic aioli, SO delicious. Any way we didn't have any of the ok looking apps this time.\n House made fusilli with local wild mushrooms, spring asparagus, and roasted garlic in tomato sauce for her, house made pappardelle with Hudson valley duck confit, fiddle-head ferns, and mascarpone cheese for me. Both were well done, pappardelle was a little greasy but, its duck confit so, it's going to have some grease.\n I have no complaints. But I still feel like I didn't have the kind of experience that I was expecting. I knew it wasn't going to be exactly the same as it was before, but when a place is that good and they get a chance try something new, I want to be WOWED! This was more like \"meh, that was good\". Oh, I also read in another review for the new place that the service was slow and I agree. Good, but slow. I'm not sure if this is a totally fair review, being more of a comparison, and they are still new in a way. I'll be going back for dinner after they have had some time to find their way and I'll let you know but for now, I miss the old place.

We sat in the bar at one of the high tops. The table provided ample room for dining and drinks and the stools were very comfortable. \nOur server was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and exhibited superb timing. Plus he possessed a very pleasant personality. \nThe food was wonderful. We started with a dozen phenomenally fresh and flavorful oysters followed by the Strip Steak, the Chopped Salad, and Spanish Octopus. All were superb. I am so relieved to know this place is so close by. \nBtw, they feature a modestly satisfying whisky and wine list with a handful a drafts available. \nFor all you doubters out there, feel comfortable in knowing that my wife and I are not the easiest to be impressed by when it comes to restaurants. These folks did a wonderful job. \nKudos Earls on a job well done. Keep up the good work.", "This was recommended to us. We went and were disappointed. The lobster bisque had too much pepper and we couldn't finish it. There were only 4 scallops for $28 and there was too much pepper even after I wiped them off. Filet mignon was over cooked. Disappointed for $100.00 Will not return or recommend", "Haven't been back for quite awhile (they had a kitchen fire late in 2015) but the return visit was as good as the last. The atmosphere in the bar area (we have not eaten in the dining room) is great, with friendly servers and bartenders. Sitting at a hight top gave us a great vantage point to observe the bar action as well as the main entrance.\n\nIn addition to a great bar menu it is possible to order off the main menu as well. Carol opted for a light meal and had truffled fries and pork belly tacos. The tacos had freshly prepared pickled onions on top that were terrific. The fries were hot, crispy and had a great taste. I chose the fried chicken, something I would not normally order and it was excellent! The chicken came with collard greens and bacon, again, something I wouldn't normally order. I forgot to mention that the meal started off with some very good bread.\n\nMy only complaint is that their beer selection is lacking - they need to add some craft beers, local if possible.", "Outstanding seafood and steaks, generous drinks, attentive service. Had a dinner for my 25 y anniversary; great place!", "Service was very good. Decor and atmosphere is very nice. Drinks and apps were great. I was disappointed in the quality of the filet that I had. It was very fatty." ]

Love the chocolate fountain, and the teppanyaki!", "Torn by this new buffet in Cherry Hill, food offerings are actually very good and place is very clean. Especially BBQ ribs and Japanese chicken. Not really liking the decor though, it's like a old country buffet hybrid. \nAll the old country fixtures, artwork and even buffet layout is the same, with a few splashes of neon funky lighting and new flooring. Kept thinking we were in an old country buffet with a sushi bar and dim sum, restaurant has no clear theme, really didn't understand country music non stop either.\nWhen you first enter the buffet you have to pay as well before you sit down and of course get the most ridiculous question \" would you like a drink with that? \". I'm sorry that is so tacky, how many people say no? Price's are fair for area, just include it into your per person cost, don't nickel and dime me for even more money before I even sit down.\nTheir still new, still have to work out the kinks, perhaps we will stop back again in a few months", "This place is NASTY!!!! I had been telling my fiancé to not go here but much to my chagrin, he conned me into a late night dinner here. There were plenty of options for the different eaters. However, everything looked disgusting. Mid meal, we looked at each other and the look said it all. We had to get or here.", "Old country buffet's Chinese cousin opened up in the same place he left. Vast variety but everything tasted the same. Prime rib over cooked. Serving utensils greasy and oily. Dessert picked over and decimated. Bathrooms had water puddles. Debris all over restaurant and bathroom floor. Will not return.", "Went on a Sunday night, really crowded and loud...i don't know if they put too many tables together or something but all night long some really obnoxious girl was just talking non-stop on a table near me and was pissing me off.\n \nFood was above average for that price point ($12.99 for sunday dinner without soda), \n no chance to even get any crabs because of all the greedy people who takes them all once they come out. The waitresses are pretty decent, if i was them i would have flipped out dealing with these customers. \n\nDim sum was no good though, for all the shrimps you serve in the buffet, mind putting more of them into the shrimp dumpling? Skin of the shrimp dumpling was insanely thick with small amount of filling...you should just buy frozen shrimp dumplings and re-steam them, would have been better than what i had tonight. \n\nGive it a try if you don't hate humans.", "There are many better options for a Chinese buffet in the area. None of the cutlery looked clean and a large amount of the plates were dirty. I had to ask for a knife four times before we were actually given a knife that was only marginally cleaner than the first. The only reason I had to ask for a knife was that the cutlery was placed next to the deserts. The white rice was hidden in a corner by the soup so if you didn't want soup you weren't finding the white rice. There were no labels over the food only writing on the glass which was often incorrect. The only food that was marginally better was the food cooked on the hibachi grill in the back. Unfortunately it was very unhygienic in that he was handling raw food with the same utensils as he was the handling the cooked food with. There was the possibility of cross-contamination with between the food. Some of the placement of the dishes were strange such as having shrimp next to grapes. Their vegetables had no flavor only covered in a sodium-filled sauce, the exact type you would get at a bad type of Chinese restaurants. We get all of this for the price of $16.00 per person, $15.00 with student I.D.", "Good stuff!. I don't know where some of the reviewers are from but I have eaten at more than my share of Asian buffets around this country and this is definitely among the better. Must have been shrimp at least 4 ways, Chinese crab, mussels/clams, and even the roast was good and not overcooked (carve yourself, so you can go for the more rare parks). Nice combo of Asian and American dishes. Cook to order Mongolian grill. Only the sushi was a bit lacking. 5+ soups including Maryland crab.Hard pack ice cream.\n\nGood service. Dishes instantly cleared, beverages refilled. Gave me a crab cracker when I asked though I didn't end up needing it. Seems family run. Staff brought out a cake with candle for the next table over with a birthday party.", "Went for first time today. Senior price $8.02 including beverage. Limited items on salad bar. Iceberg lettuce, broccoli, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Old Country had more items. Wonton soup, not bad but nothing additional in broth but Wontons. I stuck with the Chinese food selections. Chicken with broccoli, mushrooms, pepper steak and fried rice. Just OK, seemed fresh. American food items seem to be lacking. Made to order stir fry looked decent. Had a piece of carrot cake for desert. For the price it was more than adequate but I really miss the Old Country Buffet.\n\nThe Old Country Buffet in Cherry Hill was one of the better one's around. They cooked steak to order for dinner. Good salad bar. My favorite items were fried chicken, meatloaf, corn, string beans and carrots. They were always reliable. The vegetables were made without additives. No creams or sauces and very little salt. Also like serve yourself beverage bar. Deserts are definitely better at Ichiban. \n\nThe Old Country Buffet in Woodbury is not as good as the one that use to be in Cherry Hill. They don't have a grill to make steaks. I think they are cooked in a frying pan. \n\nI like Golden Corral Buffet and they use to be on 73 in Berlin, NJ but the franchisee decided to close it with no notice. The other one in Maple Shade is a good 40 minutes from my house.", "new buffet in the area........nice selection of foods.........very good overall.......for $20 ($15 including drink plus $5 tip) you can't go wrong......if you're one of these super-picky people who seem to do nothing but bitch and complain, don't go here cuz they're not perfect, and neither are you for that matter, bitches!! lol.........honestly, not really much to complain about.....food, service, and ambiance are pretty good......final word: with ichiban being a new buffet, I hope they don't start cutting too many corners like other former buffets in the area have done.. they start out really strong and then after a few months in business, they totally suck from what they used to be, trying to save $$$ by cutting corners (less seafood, more cream cheese in sushi, etc... more cheap foods and less quality selections, people stop going, and then they shut down e.g. Kobe Grill) if they can resist the urge to get cheap, they will do very well......looks like Ruby has some decent competition now, buffet war!!! bring it onnnnnnnnnnn!! lol", "Horrid. If not horrid, mediocre. \n\nAs you walk in through the refurbished automatic grocery store sliding door, you're received by a long hallway before reaching the hostess stand. Half way down the hallway, the guy behind the counter will start yelling to you, \"Two for dinner?\" \"Two drinks?\" It wasn't like there was anyone else behind us that he needed to rush us through. \n\nThe food was bad. Sushi that had been sitting for too long with dry rice and fish that had dried edges. The soy sauce was in a very large drink dispenser, which made me almost want to throw up thinking of how not-so-fresh it might be. Other dishes includes prime rib that was left as a self serve cutting station, aka, it was a butchered mess of meat that was dry and mangled. No piquant and no au jus available. The soups were in large kettles on a counter that was nearly at knee height with a sneeze guard so low hanging that you can't lift the ladle high enough to dispense the soup into your bowl. Instead, you ended up with half the soup on your plate and half in your bowl. \n\nDesserts were the worst I've ever seen or tasted. How do you mess up banana pudding? Ask Ichiban Buffet. \n\nOur server brought a check to our table on a payment tray as if we hadn't paid before we were seated. We left a generous tip and she immediately came back to our table and counted the tip as she walked away. Classy. \n\nIt won't be long before Ichiban becomes just another (disgusting) Ruby Buffet.

[ "Super Gyro just opened last week in a former White Castle location next to the Taco Bell. My advice would be to get out of the drive-through line at Taco Bell and head over to Super Gyro. Belleville really needs a restaurant like this!\n\nThey have a pretty comprehensive menu of Greek and other items. I had the BBQ Gyro and my wife had the regular gyro sandwich. The sandwiches were excellent. Good tsatsiki sauce on the regular gyro. Both came with fresh tomato slices. The BBQ Gyro also came with thinly-sliced purple onion.\n\nFries and a drink come if you order a meal instead of the individual entrée. Refills on the soda. Whole thing cost $16.09. Pretty good deal.\n\nWhen we come back, which we will, we will try the philly cheesesteak and the baklava for dessert.", "Tonight we did the Italian Beef Sandwich, a Phiily Cheesteak Sandwich, fries, and baklava for dessert. Very very good. At 5:30 p.m. there was steady business in the drive-through and the inside counter. The owner is training his crew still, so take special care to make sure the counterperson understands your order.", "First visit. We had a Chicago dog and an Italian beef. Food was pretty good. Service was quick and pleasant. Will visit often as long as it continues to please us.", "It is about what you'd expect from a mall food court. Over-priced meriocre fast food. Most of the meals are $7.44 for a sandwich, fries and a drink. \n\nI had the gyro and baklava. It had 3 small slices of tomato skin and a few onions inside. It was wrapped up well to prevent leakage, but not to make it easy to eat while driving. The baklava was okay -- marginally better than what the Walmart bakery sells (which us pretty dry and not impressive).\n\nThis isn't a place I'd go out of my way for and if I were standing right in front of it, I'd probably walk to Taco Bell next door for a Cantina Burrito. And if I was in the mood for a Gyro, I'd probably go to Belleville Fish and Chicken (unless I could justify a trip to Lily's).\nI wouldn't actively avoid it, but I definitely wouldn't go out of my way for it.", "Tried this place as it was the first out of the gate to replace The Acropolis. Greasy, stale pita, blah tzatziki. Do yourself a favor, go to the Casablanca Cafe if you really want a gyro.", "Completely unremarkable, except to comment on how unremarkable it is. I ordered the namesake gyro and was unimpressed. It wasn't that it was bad, but everything looked and tasted like it had been prepared and shipped from the Chicago-style frozen food factory. It's not Greek, despite the decor. The only Greek food on the menu is the gyro and the baklava. Otherwise it's Philly cheesesteak, hot dogs, and pretty much anything easily bought in bulk and fried. \n\nAs for the gyro itself, it came with two of the wimpiest tomato slices I've ever seen and despite ordering extra gyro sauce it was bland. The sauce itself, I mean. The meat wasn't anything special, but the sauce had no tang whatsoever. It was just yogurt chilling out with my meat and what was attempting to pass as a garnish. I'd have paid for the extra feta had I known for boring it would have been without it. At least everything was hot, but the baklava was overly sweet and difficult to get into with the plastic utensils provided. \n\nIf you're in the area, it's no worse than other fast food joint around. Theres no reason no to stop in if you're in the mood for what they have, but I highly recommend driving a little further to Lilly's Gyros in Fairview if what you are looking for is better Greek food. Or make the trek to Fazzi's in Collinsville. It's a chain, so I hate to knock it for being what it is, but I was really looking forward to being able to get a decent gyro down the street, and no such luck. I don't really have a desire to go back.", "Finally! A fast food place serving something OTHER than burgers/tacos. \n\nThe menu is extensive with \"Chicago\" style food and it doesn't disappoint. The cheesesteak is delicious, the gyros are piled high with meat and the italian beef is authentic as well. \n\nYou will spend 7.50 for a sandwich,fries and a drink. Sure it's a buck or 2 higher than McDonald's but I'll gladly pay the difference and eat this EVERY time. \n\nI really hope this place sticks around. I'm looking forward to ditching the usual fast food places for awhile.", "First visit . They charged me for three sandwiches .I only ordered two they only made 2 did not want to give me receipt food was ok. Get a receipt and watch these people. I won't be back.", "I really like this place for fast food! They have GREAT french fries, and great gyros. They also have nice and greasy cheeseburgers (great for a hangover). I'm from Chicago, so I know a great hot dog, and unfortunately this place does not even come close to what a real \"Chicago dog\" tastes like. Service is great, and the restaurant is clean. \"GO SUPER GYRO!\"", "Heard about this place from our son, said the gyros were good and plenty. Have to disagree. Gyro was very mediocre. Tomatoes are pale and no flavor, looked like tomatoes you'd get in the winter. Tzatziki sauce is horrible ! tastes like mayo mixed with creamy italian out of a bottle, was hoping if I put it on the gyro it would help ..NOT. \nGreek salad was ok, tiny smidge of dressing didn't even cover all the lettuce. The best part of the whole meal was the few kalamata olives in the salad. \nWon't be back. \nIf you want a decent gyro on this side of the river go to Soul in Fairview Hgts on Hwy 50 next to Penn Station or Lily's." ]

The breakfast isn't the typical diner breakfast like much of this area has. It's an actual brunch spot! Finally! Just what Cherry Hill needed. Philly has tons, Cherry Hill had none. This is exactly why there was a 45 minute wait! This place had so much hustle and bustle. It was loud. Not a good place for a meeting or talk. There are mountains of highchairs, so it's perfect for families. There is a huge coffee bar, and they make all kinds of delicious coffee drinks. The service was attentive. I ordered lobster benedict. Mmm. My partner ordered a breakfast skillet. Both were delicious. The lobster meat wasn't lacking. The hollandaise sauce was buttery and perfect. The only things that could improve was the acoustics. Also, since this is a brunch spot, lemme BYOB mimosas and bloody mary's!", "Had a lovely lunch yesterday at The Turning Point with my girlfriend. Once you walk into the restaurant you know you are in a great place. The restaurant is clean and really seems like homey place. I had a half and half special which was half a cup of Turkey Chilli and half of a Santa Fe Salad. Both were delicious. I was so surprised by how quickly our lunch came out to us. We both ordered tea and I was presently surprised to see that they had organic tea's on the menu. Our tea was brought to us in cute little personal teapots which I just adored. Something about tea from a teapot just seems to make the tea so much better. Our waiter was so nice and very attentive. The only negative thing I have to say about the place is the name makes me feel like I'm at a drug rehab but I can overlook that for this wonderful experience.", "It is great to have an addition to the breakfast scene in the area. Often we are looking for an option on the weekends other than our normal favorites. This restaurant could become one of the new favs. A very welcoming interior, although the lighting is a bit harsh and bright for a breakfast. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. The food is everything that is expected from a restaurant that specializes in breakfast and lunch. I had hoped for a nice Sunday Brunch menu, but we didn't see that. For now, as they work out the opening mishaps, this is a great option. Try them out for yourself-I don't think you'll be disappointed.", "This is really a 3.5 review but no halfsies and I mulled over it a while but just couldn't go with 4. \n\nThat being said I really really wanted to love this place, it's close, it's brunch, new, ample parking. So you walk in they are pretty friendly, they have a \"bar\" but no drinks... Tea, coffee, it's cute but lacking. Note this is not a byob either. What is also nice in the waiting area they have self serve coffee/tea while you wait. It is extremely bright inside, which is a bit much. The staff is pretty nice from the front desk to the servers. I didn't like the fact that they were swiffer-vacuuming while I was eating. \n \nOn to food, to I ordered the NY pastrami omelette, it was good, but I probably did the place an injustice by doing so since there is a near by diner that has one that I am in love with. It didn't measure up. I will say the food was very fresh, kind of a silver diner feel. But I didn't really see any real brunch options, nothing that wowed me. I also had one of their hot chocolate specials that I was sure was going to be a slam dunk, I went with my servers recommendation, I got the smore's , the concept was great, the first few sips were amazing, but no way I could finish it, I was on sugar overload. Nothing was bad, it was just ok at best good. I will likely try them again, I mean they are so close and more importantly right next door to the massage spot. Hopefully I can update to a 4 star review, but as for now it is what it is.", "This was a really cute place! I had a basic omelette and it was great. Only went with a 3 because it was nothing special... No wait and good service, clean and yummy, overall a good experience.", "I have been dying to try the turning point, a New Jersey breakfast/brunch/lunch chain. The menu was huge and there were a lot of great drink options including French press coffee, espresso, and s'mores hot chocolate. There were breakfast options as well as lunch options. \n\nI was torn between French toast, a waffle or an omelette. I chose the western omelette because it came with fruit, potatoes and an English muffin. My friend got an omelette as well. The omelette was delicious and the potatoes were slightly undercooked but okay. \n\nI saw other people's French toast and waffles and would definitely go back to try those along with a specialty hot or iced drink. \n\nThe prices were fair and service was pretty good. It was also fairly busy for a Thursday morning but there was plenty of seating and we did not have to wait at all.", "First time here Jan 7, for my birthday my girlfriend treated me to Brunch, I have to say that I will be back! The inside is very nice and colorful, gives a warm feeling, the smell of fresh coffee. We were greeted as soon as we walked in by a cheery hostess, we were seated in an instant and met by our waitress who was very nice and knowledgable about the menu. We started of by ordering the Costa Rican coffee, which came in a frensh press and we actually had a timer with it to let us know when to press it! I thought this was a really cool idea, and it really makes it stand out from other diners or restaurants. When it came to ordering our food, I was up in the air between the Hawaiian Wheat French Toast and the Lobsert Benedict, both of this looked and sounded amazing! My girlfrind ordered the Grande Huevos Rancheros, which in my opinion looked amazing and I know my girlfriend loved it, I tasted it and it was so fresh! When I came to ordering my food I was up in the air between the Lobster Benedict or the Hawaiian Wheat French Toast, what really made me like this place more was the fact that our waitress told me that I could get the Lobster Benedict and a piece of the French Toast! This place really sold me and I plan on coming back to have more delicious foods!", "I came here for the first time after the holidays for a brunch with a friend, and we were not disappointed! The decor is very cute/homey feeling, and the place was busy which told me it must be good. They have a good mix of healthy and traditional (think fancy french toasts and pancaked) options, and everything sounded delicious! I ended up with a frittata while my friend went for a salad, and we both really enjoyed out meals! The portion sizes were perfect too, not massive like a lot of brunch places. We also loved the larger hot and cold tea selection, which is not something you find at a lot of restaurants. I definitely plan to return soon!", "Finally, a brunch restaurant [that's not another diner] in South Jersey!\n\nI took a visiting friend here the other day. Walked in and immediately felt the homey, classy but casual vibe.\n\nI love when restaurants put modern twists on traditional favorites.\nWe had a tough time deciding, but decided on an egg skillet, Lobster egg's benedict for myself, and split a Cornbread French Toast as a dessert upon the waiter's recommendation.\n\nLet me first say, that french toast was superb. At first bite, we felt our taste buds sing. \nI had expected this to be dense, but on the contrary... the cornbread was light and fluffy, that vanilla bean mascarpone was buttery and not too-sweet. A light drizzle of caramel, along with paper thin slices of apple and pecans sprinkled on top. Everything melted in your mouth and complimented each other beautifully.\n\nOur separate egg dishes were also very much enjoyed. I would recommend the lobster egg's benedict--they did not skimp on the lobster meat and a friendly addition of bacon and avocado made for a very satisfying meal. The hollandaise could use a smidge more seasoning, but that could be my own personal preference.\n\nWas also happy to see they have Mighty Leaf tea, here, my favorite bagged brand as it is high quality. To my delight, your order of tea comes in a personal tea pot.\n\nOur only real minor complaint would be the home fries, although not bad, have room for improvement.\n\nWill be back to try the rest of the menu." ]

Corn bread warm, crispy & yummy. Candied yams were like dessert. Potato salad fluffy & creamy. I'm not a fan of waffles but these were perfect with the chicken. \n\nPeople next to us raved about the chicken lovers & sweet potato pie. We were too stuffed to try.\n\nThe location is very pretty. We sat at the bar. The bartender is friendly but not yet into the job. Took a while for him to even acknowledge us, I had to got to hostess to ask for menu, didn't ask if we wanted desert...basic stuff but he should get on the ball if he wants to stay here.", "Other than it being the Grand Opening and running out of certain items, the food was delicious! I had the BBQ Ribs & Fried Chicken combo with candied yams, traditional collard greens & cornbread & my friend had the salmon croquettes with mac & cheese. We also had the strawberry bread pudding which would have been great but they ran out of bourbon sauce so it was definitely missing it. The decor was very nicely done. The prices were very reasonable for the wines and the amount of food you get and I can't wait to go back!", "The food was awesome! We had the Fried Chicken and Ribs combo which comes with two side, I had collard greens and candied yams. For dessert I had the Peach Cobbler ala mode (aka with ice cream) which came recommended by one of the staff members. It was a great pick. Is it weird that I dreamed about yesterday night? Maybe but it was a sweet dream.\n\nThe service was extremely pleasant, it felt like home. There were a little glitches here and there but for opening day service I was thoroughly pleased.\n\nThe restaurant decor was extremely pleasant to the eye, very trendy. I can't wait to try some of the drinks at the bar.\n\nWe're actually counting down the days when we can get some Fried Chicken/Ribs again.", "After seeing the news reports the past few weeks announcing the opening of this world famous soul food restaurant coming to our town I was extremely excited to try it out but figured I would give them a week to work out the glitches that come with opening a new restaurant.\n\nFinally! The wife and I tried this place out last night and we were not disappointed in the least. We got there around 7:30 and the place had a dozen or so customers in the dining room. The place is nicely decorated, the room is inviting and feels comfy. From the hostess to the wait staff, everyone is attentive and courteous, the menu is simple and well laid out with a nice story on the back cover talking about how Ms. Sylvia got her start.\n\nWe were seated right away and promptly greeted by our waiter George who took our drink orders and appetizer order....Fried Green Tomatoes! Yummy! It was not even ten minutes and the appetizer came out and let me tell you, these were on the money! These were not tiny slices of green tomatoes, these were large, perfectly sliced with a light batter that stuck to them, they were delicious and some of the best I have ever eaten....a must try for anyone craving a fried green tomato.\n\nFor dinner, I ordered the ribs and fried chicken (dark meat) combo meal with two sides, collard greens and candied yams. My wife ordered the fried catfish with collard greens and baked mac and cheese. Again, our meals came out promptly and presented well on the plate. My ribs were good, fall off the bone good! My fried chicken quarter was perfectly cooked, the skin was crispy and the inside meat was moist. My only grumble was the chicken had not been warmed up enough, the chicken meat was lukewarm. On the other hand, my two sides were awesome! The collard greens are some of the best I ever ate and the candied yams were amazing! They could be considered a dessert and something I know my picky five year old would love to eat.\n\nMy wife's fried catfish was also a hit! George our waiter had recommended this dinner and he was right, it is delicious and cooked to perfection. Somehow Sylvia's has the right combo for perfecting the breading on their fried foods, it is light, not greasy and it sticks perfectly when cooked. Like me, she raved about the collard greens and her baked mac and cheese was by far some of the best ever, this place nails it when it comes to good soul food.\n\nOf course our dinner would not be complete without trying the dessert, again we turned to our waiter George for his take on the desserts, he suggested the peach cobbler with ice cream.....again, this guy delivered! I am not a huge dessert person and if we do order dessert we usually share one, this time my wife had a hard time keeping me from eating the whole thing, it was on the money!\n\nAnd speaking of money. In closing, this place will not break your bank account. The prices are very reasonable and affordable, it is family friendly and you get real value for what you spend here. The two of us walked out of here spending just around fifty dollars for dinner, appetizer, dessert and a glass of wine....now that's a good deal! We will be back!", "Run by amateurs! They need Robert or Chef Ramsey to teach these amateur how to run a restaurant! Not only I waited 30 minutes to get my order I waited another 30 to get my food and it was the wrong order! Waited another 15 for my family's food. We were seated after 738 and didn't leave til 945pm. Granted we meet the co-owners daughter waiting for a table so I figured, food must be really good for even she has to wait for a table. Service was 1 star. Not even a refill of water? Our waiter need to go to real restaurant to see how real waiter wait. \nNow the food? If it arrived hot and not cold? If it arrived all at one time? If the staff worked as one instead of standing pretending to work? Maybe!\n\nI was disappointed! Most of the reviews here noted service was so, so..they weren't lying! The food was good I have to say but so is Appleby's on a bad day.", "Ok, if Sylvias can fix a few things they have potential to be a 4 at most. I am being nice and understanding that they are new so I gave them a 3 instead of a 2. They have been advertising the opening of Sylvias for a while now, so my Aunt who hosts Family nights every 3rd Saturday suggested that we all go here and enjoy dinner instead of the usual potluck.\n\nI was the first one to arrive and the building on the outside looked very nice, and the inside did as well. There is a large Takeout area near the parking lot, and when I first walked in the main area I thought, wow...this reminds me of a place I would go to back home in Atlanta. Nice decor, contemporary, and designed well.\n\nThe Hostess seemed a little \"off\" and wasn't quick to greet me, so I went up to her. She was pretty prompt with everyone else, but for some reason when I was waiting there she was acting really\"busy\" for a long time looking for a piece of paper and pen. Being the assertive person I am at times, I addressed that...moving on.\n\nWhile I was waiting on my family members to arrive I sat at the bar and watched the rest of the FSU homecoming game while sipping on some Moscato. Not all restaurants and bars carry Moscato, but they know how \"we\" are, and that we love our Moscato, lol. They had 3 different Moscato options too...a glass was $6.00.\n\nMy family finally arrived and we were seated in the very back(party of 11). Now...let me start off by saying that the people in my family have VERY strong personalities lol, so I had a hard time telling if the service was really that bad or if they were just acting \"EXTRA\" like they can at times. It did take a while to get the drink order in, and the server was called back to the kitchen like 3 times while were trying to place our order because everything was so unorganized.\n\nAfter waiting for our food for a good 45 minutes my Aunt couldn't take it anymore. She got up and went to the owner and back to the kitchen demanding our food, or that we would leave. I held my head down and just laughed because I already knew that this night was going to turn into an episode better than any reality tv show out right now. The owner came back to apologize and said he would have our food out in 5 minutes, and then he ran back to the Kitchen. You know what, he had all our food out in 5 minutes! I was thanking God at that point because I knew at 6 minutes my hungry, crazy family was going to turn that restaurant upside down.\n\nOk so Finally the Good and Bad according to me and all my now satisfied family:\n1.Mac and Cheese- 5 Stars, de-lic-ous\n2.Fried Chicken- 4 stars, pretty darn good\n3.Greens- They ran out...how you run out of greens at a soul food restaurant?\n4.Chitlins ( yuck)- My uncle said they were 5 stars, good!\n5.Potato Salad- 1 star, Taste tooooo sweet sent them back for sweet potato fries\n6.Sweet Potato Fries- 1 star, NO flavor, greasy and soggy...sent them back and ordered a second mac and cheese\n7.Chicken and Waffles- 4 stars, good\n8.Mash Potatoes- 3 stars, came out cold the first time.\n9.Cornbread-2 stars, my families is better, they were cold the first time, asked for another basket\n10. Smothered Porkchops fried- 4 stars, good\n11. Kids meals were BIG! My little cousin said his grilled ham was good. 4 stars\n\nEverything was pretty much hit or miss, and because it's new, there were a lot of sides they were out of and not so great service... major confusion. I am used to great cooking and good soul food in my family so its going to take A LOT to impress me.The desserts didn't impress me either. The owner and manager ( who needs a sweat towel lol) did try his best to keep us all seated and happy, and I REALLY appreciate them being patient with my family, lol. I will come back in 3 months or so and give an update.", "I had my first visit to Sylvia's today and my experience was great. I was promptly seated upon my arrival. My waitress was very polite, prompt, and professional. Both the interior and exterior of the building were very nice. I chose to take a late lunch hoping to avoid the crowd, which I did. For my drink I ordered an \"Arnold Palmer\" half sweet tea-half lemonade and it was delicious, not every establishment gets it right. I ordered from the lunch menu. I selected the fried chicken leg quarter, with collard greens and macaroni and cheese as my side items. The food was great. The chicken was fried to perfection, and the macaroni and cheese melted in my mouth. The greens had a slight sweetness to them, but they were cooked very well. I will definitely return.", "Cornbread: Not my thing (I like it sweet, theirs was not sweet and bland in general)\nFried chicken: Excellent\nMac-n-cheese: Excellent\nCollard greens: Out of this world\nCandied yams: Meh\nMashed potatoes: Average\n\nService: Excellent (go there on a weekday really early, like at 11:30, and you will have ZERO service problems)\n\nRestaurant: Very nicely designed and comfortable \n\n4.5 stars for Sylvia's!\n\nI can't wait to try the other stuff on the menu.", "Soul Food without the soul\nGreens: tasted like someone accidentally poured in a gallon of Kool Aid making it way too sweet\nBanana Pudding: looked like Bread Pudding. terrible\n\nPlace done sold out and left the soul behind.", "My wife and I had been planning to go here since it opened recently and today was the day. In short, with the exception of a wiggly table, everything was perfect. I am not an expert on soul food, but we know what we like.\n\nI ordered the chicken livers with onions and green peppers, plus collard greens and black-eyed peas. There aren't many restaurants where black-eyed peas are offered, so I was happy to see them on the menu. My wife had the ham, plus Mac 'n Cheese and collard greens.\n\nThe servers were all friendly and very observant. We were greeted by the hostess immediately upon entering. As soon as we were seated, a basket of sweet corn bread was placed before us, and it wasn't long at all before the meal came out. Everything was delicious. The collard greens rocked! For a new restaurant, they definitely have their act together. \n\nEvery table has a bottle of Sylvia's Hot Sauce (cayenne pepper-based) and it delivers on the self-described 'kick'. I love hot spicy flavors, and many places exaggerate the heat of their sauce, but I was not disappointed with Sylvia's!\n\nWe finished up with some peach cobbler, even though we were already stuffed to the gills. The entire lunch, including dessert and tax, was under 24.00.\n\nThe view out the large picture window wasn't very interesting, overlooking a rather forlorn empty field of grass, but this restaurant, a member of the famous Sylvia's Soul Food in Harlem chain, is trying to make a go of things in conjunction with the recently re-opened, historic Manhattan Casino, so as time goes by, something interesting will come to occupy that empty field.\n\nWe will definitely be back. Next visit, I'm going to tackle the ribs and chicken combo. Stay tuned." ]

[ "Great happy hour spot and perfect for a big group. Food was tasty and a clear step above standard pub food. Lots of big TVs around and nice, clean decor. A definite classy alternative to Noche or Drinkers.", "I totally agree with Heather M. \n\nIt's a very nice setup to watch sports or hangout. On Sunday's it shows the Cleveland Browns games (the other games are on/no sound), but they're a pretty entertaining crowd :) $2 Yuengling lagers and $5 secret nachos round it out awesomely I think.", "My gfs and I agree, this is a good first date place. It's reasonable, centrally located, and its unassuming. \n\nI could see why people like to watch the games here. But that wasn't my draw. What would have me coming back is the service. The bartender, who doubles as a waiter, really gets involved. He was excited to recommend his version of a cosmo instead of my go-to raz. stoli approach. He was so confident that I'd like it, that he offered to buy it for me. He was right--when I go back, I'll be sure to order HIS version of the cosmo.", "This is probably my favorite place to watch a game in City Center. They have a ton of TVs and really great food. No seriously, the food is good. We're talking about crab spring rolls and scallops and Cobb salads and burgers and flat bread pizzas here. All the food is upper scale bar food. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with some greasy chicken wings but the food at smiths is a little more upscale and I like that. Also the salads are huge. Like I got a Cobb salad and couldn't finish it\n\nThey also have an attitude. That's right I said it. I was in there watching the sox vs. the Phillies last night and the bartender was getting annoyed that my friends and I were all Red Sox fans. I'm like, look it, just because your team has over 10,000 losses doesn't mean you have to hate on the defending world champs. Ok smiths, the Phillies, may have taken the first game, but the Red Sox have the last word. And then after the Sox have the last word, the Celtics will silence all of the NBA and declare Boston the greatest sports town in all of the world.", "Stopped here for happy hour with friends. Nice looking crowd. Too bad they were 'out' of so much --- basic cocktail ingredients, ingredients for most of their 'special' cocktails--- and pinot grigo ----- I ended up ordering a diet coke after my first 3 selections met with \"we're out of that.\" We decided to head elsewhere after round 1, so we didn't try anything from the food menu.", "Great place to hang with your own group of friends. Went there on a Saturday night. There are two halves. One with booths and the other with a dance floor and lounge area. There were 8 of us, so we owned the dance floor. The bartenders got into it with us on the dance floor. All of the booths were full and it seemed everyone there was with friends. I didn't try, but assumed it would be hard to meet new people here.", "We checked this place out for the Cal-ASU football game. At 3pm, I found the place to fairly vacant, with games on all ten screens. In talking to the bartender, we were able to go to this side room, get the Cal game on and with audio! I really enjoyed having the game on multiple TVs, and the service was great too....maybe they have taken notice of the yelp reviews, as I didn't have to wait too long for drinks.\n\nAnyway, we are definitely planning to check this place out for another Cal football viewing in the near future.", "I went to Smith's yesterday and I'm convinced that it is the worst place ever.\n\nEVER.\n\nOk, granted everyone and their mother was there watching the Phillies playoff game. But I have been in much busier bars where the bartenders and waitstaff hustle to get done what needs to be done as quickly as they can.\n\nI walked into the place and went straight to the bar to order a drink for my fiance and I. Simple stuff --- a lager and a Bud Light bottle. I was standing in a sea of Phillies fans, but only about one person back from the bar. The bartender could clearly see me at the time, but was too busy serving about 20 beers to some dude who was passing them back to his friends. Ok, FINE. Thing is, though, she was serving them with the quickness of a sloth on valium. Finally, 20-beers guy gets all of his beers to all of his friends and I start to have high hopes that I'm next to be served. She completely turned away from me and sauntered over to the other part of the bar to wait on some other guy... and then another guy... and then ANOTHER guy. I finally gave up and one of my fiance's friends sucked it up and waited in the cluster of people and got us drinks from the slowest bartender on the planet.\n\nAfter that first beer, I wanted another so I decided to attempt the whole song and dance again. Same deal, only I stood on the other side of the bar right in front of the cash register. I figured, \"Hey. She's gotta put the money in the thing so she HAS to see me.\" Same deal all over again. She completely passed over me and waited on guy after guy after guy with the motivation of a tree slug on heroin until finally, I got fed up and I needed my booze and had to resort to getting her attention by yelling, \"HEY! I have been standing here FOREVER and all I need is a lager and a Bud Light bottle.\" To which she responded after she looked up at me with the attentiveness of a turtle on 50 vicodan and a whiskey chaser, \"A lager and a whaaaaaaaaat????????\"\n\n\n\nARGH. *NEVER AGAIN*", "Site of another Cal-Oregon viewing for the Cal Alumni Association. Again, no problem with getting two TVs + audio, and good service on drinks and food. We had plenty of room to catch the game here and were their main afternoon crowd on Saturday. We definitely plan on coming back here again too.", "I blame Smith's 100% for my increased waist line and decreased bank account. Let me explain. Until recently, I couldn't have named one player on the Phillies without a quick google search. Granted, I'd gone to the stadium a few times, drank for 6 hours in the parking lot then stumbled into the game. Throughout the games I cheered when the crowd cheered, sent out several dozen drunken text messages (\"woo!!!!\") and typically left before the 7th inning to continue imbibing at Mcfaddens. Then, this championship season rolled around.\n\nRealizing it's potential to boost my social life (i discovered men enjoy sports. who knew?), I hopped on the beer soaked bandwagon (don't judge me). That's where Smith's comes in. Every day of the playoffs and world series I hopped onto a cushioned bar stool at Smith's and ordered an assortment of delicious food from the menu (boneless wings, crab wontons, pizza, sandwiches etc. etc.) and an aluminum bud light bottle (2 bucks on special). By the end of the series, as I staggered down broad street (decked head to toe in brand new phillies merchandise), high fiving and hugging sweaty drunk strangers along the way, I was 10 lbs heavier, dateless and broke. Very, very broke. \n\nThe food is great, the beer is cheap on game days, the bartenders are friendly and the tvs are shiny. I don't know what more you need. I'm currently having my own mini economic crisis and thus am abstaining from all things happy hour related. So go to Smiths and let me live through you. And try the gorgonzola buffalo chicken pizza. It'll change your life." ]

Posole on Wednesdays, tons of specials, a take out menu with photographs and no prices... Delicious. I love the chuleta because I'm a pork fiend (pork chop with salsa verde). I've come with vegetarians before and they haven't had trouble with options (tortas, veggie burritos, sopes with no meat). I also enjoy the ultra-bright television playing MTV Tres at full blast. Makes me miss San Diego.", "The most authentic, best Mexican food in town-- hands down. Mmmm mole and horchata", "Really good, really authentic Mexico City style mexican food. Tacos al Pastor are excellent. The tostadas are good too, except the seafood one was made with low quality canned shrimp. If you're lucky you might score a pan dulce (sweet roll) to take home with you for breakfast tomorrow. Look for them at the counter.", "So I live in Boston, and let me tell you- Boston mexican food tastes like someone put it in the back of their pickup in bum-fuck-nowhere canada and drove it down... it's pretty much inedible. Finding this place was like a gift from god, and no I'm completely atheist, but I thank god for this place. I had the tamales- which were perfect, the maiz was incredible- the perfect balance of smooth texture and firmness. The pork inside was chunky and had obviously been prepared by an expert with care. The chile relleno was perfect too- not over done, had the right amount of searing on the pepper and the fry batter was just the right thickness, and the cheese inside was simple but very tasty and fresh and balanced out the hot spice of the pepper. I think I'm going to go back and buy some tamales to freeze and bring home to boston.", "Taqueria Guerrero is a decent mexican place. You'll find pretty much everything you'd see at other mexican places at relatively good prices.\n\nI ordered my favorite mexican dish, Chiles Rellenos. My girl got enchiladas. The chiles rellenos was prepared a little differently than I'm used to, perhaps a different batter and stuffing, but was alright. They brang out little corn tortillas with it gave the meal an interesting twist as I made chiles rellenos tacos with the beans and rice and lettuce they gave me. That was surprisingly fun, but my quest for the perfect chiles rellenos in N.O. continues. \n\nI'll probably be back when I want good cheap mexican food.", "SO good. Get the agua fresca! Hell get anything and you won't be disappointed. Oh wait, I take that back. Don't get the Cactus Tacos, they are not really much to run home about. But the rest of the menu is super delicious. It's pretty affordable by New Orleans standards, and I kind of like that it's right by Brocato's for dessert.", "Some of the best pupusas and tamales in New Orleans! I've been maybe seven times and have not had a bad meal or bad services. Prices are good too!\n\nThey appear to get your beer from the bar next door but this is more amusing than a hassle.", "My highest compliments. \nI am from California, where amazing mexican food is rampant... This is the first mexican restaurant Ive been to outside of the bordering states that had really good, traditional food. I had the most SPECTACULAR cactus burrito... Their menu is large, their salsas are hot and flavorful, and the prices are awesome! Keep it up, you have a fan for life!", "Had dinner here recently. Had the Tamale's and pupusas.

Great staff & bartender..", "It's nice to see a lot more Vietnamese restaurants opening in the city especially uptown, you can never have too many options. Mint is located right next to Dat Dog, a pleasant new addition to the Freret scenery. It offers authentic Vietnamese dishes with savory, traditional flavors. You can find yourself a really good bowl of pho or plate of com ga roti (rice w/ rotisserie chicken) here. They even offer brown rice as a healthier alternative which I was really excited about! The menu also offers some items with a different flair such as the kim chi burger and chicken with green tea waffles, which I'll definitely be back to try. If you're really brave, you can try one of their specialty cocktails that contains fish sauce in the mix. I love how nicely the decor was done, from the chandeliers to the cute tea cups. There seems to be a good selection of wine which you can enjoy at their spacious bar counter if you're in need of some down time. I had a nice glass of Chardonnay and spring rolls (awesome sauce, literally!) while waiting for friends. The name was chosen well, as mint is one of the cooking staples in Vietnamese cuisine. Their friendly staff and atmosphere will definitely bring me back for frequent visits.", "So glad to have a great vietnamese place uptown! The spring rolls were authentic and the peanut sauce was great. I had the meatball pho and thought the broth was aromatic and very tasty. Furthermore, they have a stocked bar and are open on Sundays which, as many vietnamese food lovers know, is quite rare. \n\nWill definitely be going back soon!", "Ahh-mazing! \nFor a newly opened restaurant this place totally delivers; the space is modern and beautifully designed and service is friendly and expedient. \nThis being our first visit, we started with the basics, which is pretty much a barometer on whether to dive in deeper.\nShrimp spring rolls were beautiful, Louisiana shrimp freshly cooked (still warm & luscious inside the roll); peanut sauce was rich. \n\nShrimp vermicelli had gorgeous grilled shrimp &clean fresh flavors throughout. \n\nBeef pho was one of the best I've ever had; sultry, flavorful broth with amazing depth and gorgeous, balanced seasoning. Amount of beef was very generous; the only slight gripe is that the \"fixings\" (sprouts &herbs) we're a bit skimpy... I like lots with mine. Also, no jalapeño. Overall though, this wasn't enough to knock the rating down. \n\nWill definitely be back!", "This place has a very nice atmosphere. Especially if you need a place to just eat & relax after a long working day. Both my bf & I enjoyed the food there. I highly recommend trying their Vietnamese pork tacos and the sizzling steak & eggs. We would definitely come back really soon.", "Wow!! I must say I'm very pleasantly surprised! With so many Vietnamese restaurants opening, you start to expect a lot from each new one. I came with a couple of friends tonight and shared several dishes (which is honestly the best way to do it to get a sample of the menu in one sitting). We shared the pork belly and oxtail buns and sticky chicken wings to start off and the combination pho (brisket, steak, and meatballs), lemongrass chicken and rice, shaken steak and rice, wonton soup, Kim chi burger with sweet potato fries, and the steak and eggs for our entrees. We weren't the biggest fans of the buns, but everything else was fantastic! And it's quite rare for us to like so many dishes during a first visit at any new restaurant, so we were all thoroughly impressed. The pho broth was delicious!! I'm pretty darn picky when it comes to pho, but Mint makes it very flavorful; it doesn't necessitate the addition of many condiments. Both the shaken steak and lemongrass chicken were very tender and, again, very flavorful. We enjoyed the Kim chi burger, but just a little more cooked for my taste. The sweet potato fries were perfect though!! If I had to choose my two favorite dishes, it would have to be the pho and the lemongrass chicken. YUM! Definitely coming back for that.\n\nMint has a very eclectic decor: a mix of different textures and styles. I was trying to find a common theme, but \"eclectic\" was the best I can describe it. The service was great. Very timely and efficient. \n\nOverall, we all had an awesome first experience and will definitely be back to try more dishes! Happy to see uptown with another quality Vietnamese restaurant.", "LOVE me some Vietnamese food! Spring rolls and peanut sauce were divine. Nice employees, cool place, and just gorgeous food!", "I love trying new places and this place is a great addition to Freret st! I can't wait to come back and try the more \"modern\" menu items. I had the egg roll noodle bowl tonight and it was really tasty! The atmosphere was nice and service was great.", "Awesome Vietnamese restaurant for one that just opened. The chicken wings were delicious and beef and egg too. I was skeptical since there's been a lot of Vietnamese restaurant opening up but this by far is the best pho and the service were super nice. The Interior is something to admire especially the bar. Will be back to try everything else on the menu. Keep it up!", "This place is amazing! \n\nI went last night with my family around 7PM and the place was already swarming with people. We were a party of 7 and they seated us promptly and got our drinks in right away. Because they were so busy, we got our drinks, but had to wait a bit before putting in our order.\n\nWe ordered the crab rangoon, sticky wings, chicken and green waffles, kimchi burger on French bread with sweet potato fries, lemongrass chicken on steamed bun, bun rieu, and bun bo hue (spicy beef noodle soup). \n\nEverything was soooo amazing! \nI don't have much to say about the crab Rangoon, because I can't stand cream cheese. It did have a strong bacon flavor which made it bearable and the sauce was very good. Everyone at my table loved it. \nThe sticky wings came out nice and hot and the flavor was phenomenal. All of the entrees were delicious. Especially the chicken and green waffles. Definitely something different. The bun rieu and bun bo hue tasted homemade, like my mom was cooking in the back! If it's on their menu when you come in (they're specials), you have GOT to try it! \n\nThe specialty drinks do need a little work. I had a perfect strawberry mojito and the second one I ordered was 10x stronger, which is not a bad thing, but not consistent. \n\nOn to decor. This place is decorated very beautifully. Very modern, which fits its name! I will be coming back for more!" ]

[ "You know when you're traveling somewhere, even if it's not for vacation, an airport provides the excuse to eat like crap? There is almost always a McDonald's (their hashbrowns and coffee make any early morning flight more pleasant) a Starbucks (you can pretend to be healthy by not eating at McDonald's and getting a muffin here, even though deep-down you KNOW it's pretty fatty too) and some chain restaurant (oh, hi Chili's). Well, I was traveling back to Chicago and in the mood for something NOT-crap. Shocking, I know.\n\nWolfgang Puck Express became my lovely little resting spot as I awaited my flight home. Perhaps you could call this a chain, but it's a lovely one. A small menu of sandwiches, soups, pizzas and salads contained just enough to whet my appetite for something more than french fries and frozen burgers. \n\nMy choice was the spinach and goat cheese pizza. The combination of goat cheese and mozzarella with plum tomatoes and spinach was tasty and filling. A nice glass of Pinot Noir (that my attentive and sweet server advised me I was lucky to get, they often sold out of this particular bottle) was the perfect accompaniment to my pizza and people-watching dinner.\n\nService was prompt (necessary when you're trying to catch your flight) and the food was good. I highly recommend it if you're stuck at the Indianapolis Airport for a bit.", "Decent food but incredibly slow service. Waitresses are oblivious to diners who would like to pay and go.", "Just had the Puck Burger. I'm not a foodie but I do enjoy a good bistro burger. I expect to pay $10 or $12 when I order and I expect it to taste fabulous. This is my first experience with Wolfgang Puck's. Sadly it was not good. The bun was so thick that it's flavor completely dominated every bite I took. I was also saddened that the beef pattie could only be cooked medium well or well. I prefer my burger juicy and full of flavor. The medium well pattie had a similar density to the focacia bun. This created a lack of texture further boring my mouth. Half way through my Puck Burger I gave up and moved on to the fries. The fries were good, almost exact size, consistency, and color of McDonald's fries but lightly seasoned. They were good however they would have been better paired with ketchup instead of the catsup they came with. \n\nThe server was very nice and attentive. I appreciated that they serve Coke.", "Unless you are rich - I am staying clear of \"*ucks\" -- from here on out. Soup and salad $24 for lunch.....come on way too much for my lunch!\n\nI didnt even think you got a very large serving size....but thats just my opinion.", "Today was not a good day for the Puckster and his staff.\n\n2 bloody mary's. An easy, seeingly fast order. BUT, the bartender couldn't explain the difference between a single and a double when I asked how big the glasses would be. I finally gave up and said just make it a single. Then she asked if we wanted \"celery or anything\" in the drink and before we could answer told us she didn't have any of that stuff ready.\n\nHmm...it's 11:30am. The airport is open. You are open. Isn't part of being open being ready to serve customers? A few olives speared on a stick doesn't seem like too much to ask when it's almost noon and for $7 a whack.\n\nWeak drink. No garnish. Bad bartending.\n\nBooooooooooo!", "Having arrived early, my family and I were wanting some breakfast before our flight. My wife suggested Chef Puck's little establishment in the airport, and we settled down. Even though there were very few customers, service was amazingly slow. The coffee and juice finally arrived, and I was quite underwhelmed. It was a harsh roast that had spent far too much time in the pot before being poured. I've had better at some gas stations. When the breakfast arrived, none of us were impressed. My While the basil and tomatoes in my omelet were acceptable, the dish was overcooked. My wife had ordered sausage with her breakfast, and it was best described as \"steamed\"--and quite fatty. I further down-rated the place for having the gall to charge so much for such ordinary fare. Next time, it's Starbucks or McDonald's. At least McDonald's doesn't pretend to be better than it is.", "While traveling on October 3rd 2012 with my elderly mother in a wheelchair, passed Wolfgang Puck Express on way to gate. My mother wanted to try one of their pizzas, so with plenty of time to spare I ordered one for her, this was at 12:56 pm, the height of lunch time. Was told it would be about twenty minutes, no problem. Came back twenty five minutes later and the pizza hadn't even been started. Line chef was too busy making salads and manager just managed to roll in (really, at the height of lunch service) while I was standing there with my mouth agape at the news that they hadn't gotten to it. At this point, the no problem was a big problem, didn't have another twenty minutes to wait to get a pizza and eat. I can only give this restaurant an Eek, Me Thinks Not since there was no food and my mother ended up with no lunch.", "Fine airport food, the Italian sandwich was good. Pizza seems to take a while, making it not very express", "The chain has gone down hill, disgruntled employees, and over the top pricing for mediocre food.", "I decided to eat at Puck's Express because I had a flight to catch and the word \"Express\" implies quick service! Right? I wish I had a chance to review their food, but after waiting fruitlessly and generally being ignored at the waitress stand for 15 minutes for a seat in a not-busy restaurant at lunchtime, I gave up and went elsewhere. If you are in a hurry, do not go here." ]

[ "Homemade and incredibly flavorful. The ham and roast pork is hand carved, thick. Can't go wrong with El Cubano or Pan Con Lechon. The Maduros (carmelized baked plantains) are a must. Black bean soup is best I've had. The coffee is traditional, strong and sweet with a fantastic aroma. The proprietors, a father and daughter couldn't be better hosts. Try this place, you will come back.", "Went for lunch today. Got the regular size Cubano (8 oz of meat) and the yucca chips as a side. Best Cuban sandwich I have ever had, and I have had some fine ones in Miami. Yucca chips were awesome. I highly recommend you check this place out. Around $11 which included drink. Not a bad price for an authentic Cuban sandwich, side and a drink. They even gave me a sample of Cuban coffee while i waited. \n\nThey offer other sandwiches all in 3 different sizes. There are ample side choices including black bean soup and plantains. It appeared that they also offer some authentic Cuban pastries to go with the coffee. I can't wait to go back.", "I was fortunate enough to stumble across A Taste of Havana today while driving through Broadripple and thought I'd give it a try. Ohmigosh, I'm so glad that I did!\n\nHaving only been open for two weeks, A Taste of Havana is a family owned business. The family? Two. Father and Daughter. I can't imagine the number of hours they must put in each week, and hope they hurry up and get someone else in before the public catches on how good the food is. The decor is what you would expect to find in the cuban shops in Miami; and seeing how they did it all themselves, it's about as authentic as you can get. \n\nThe food: When trying a cuban restaurant for the first time, I always go for the same thing; Cuban Sandwich and plantains. It's like the cheeseburger at an American place; if they can't get it right, why bother? Boy.. they got this one right. The El Cubano was layered with roast pork, ham, swiss cheese, pickles and yellow mustard. Even better, it came in three sizes: El Especial ($10.99), El Regular ($8.49) and El Mini ($6.50). I chose the El Regular, which was the perfect size for me. Add an extra $2.49 to make it a combo with a fountain drink and your choice of a side. \n\nI'll admit that I had a few bites of roast pork that were too tough to eat, but the flavors were outstanding, and the size of the tough pieces of pork were too small to worry about. Trust me: the meats on this sandwich were piled high. \n\nDessert? Well, sure; only because I was writing this review and had to make sure you knew what to expect (your welcome.) Menu items includes assorted pastries, flan and tres leches cake. I ordered flan, which they were out of. I instead opted for a guava and cream cheese pastry, which they heated and served hot out of the oven. Fantastic. If they don't make them in house, they've fooled me.\n\nDuring dessert they brought around complimentary cuban coffee, which they quickly pointed out doesn't happen often, but since they weren't very busy, they went ahead and made some. This review is powered by said coffee right now. Whoa was it strong. In my mind I was transported back to South Beach sipping cuban coffee at the little cuban restaurants. \n\nI have very high predictions for this place, assuming they get the staffing they need and don't burn out first. It's a tiny place, so I hope the lines don't get too much for them, and that Broadripple appreciates how awesome it is that a place like this has opened up.", "Popped in here for lunch after Yelp alerted me of its opening. You almost would drive past it on broad ripple avenue, but please don't. The sandwich menu is extensive and amazing. I had a pork sandwich with grilled onions and mojito marinade. The pork was hand carved from tenderloins recently cooked with fresh baked bread. DELICIOUS! While we were eating the owner came out with samples of his black bean soup which he makes daily. Possibly one of the best black bean soups I have tried. He then generously brought over some of his home made carmel flan, which was so rich it should be illegal, but just as delicious as everything else. I will definitely be going back here to try more sandwiches. Nothing negative to say about this place, top notch, very friendly owner and employees, truly feel like you are in Cuba", "The best Cuban sandwich in Indy. Great value, and hand cut meats pressed to perfection. What else is there to say, run over and grab a sandwich as soon as you can.", "Great food, the Cuban sandwich is awesome. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated and reminds me of the little Cuban cafes in Miami and West Palm Beach. If you've never tried Cuban food,I suggest you try it! It is totally different then Mexican food.", "Bright and flavorful describes both the interior and the sandwiches. The owner was a joy to talk to. His exuberance came through in his sandwiches. Try the sandwich con chorizo. He uses the salami like Spanish chorizo to dress the ham cubano. Salty and chewy, it compliments the crusty bread. \nStop in for a very good sandwich and great conversation.", "This is definitely my new favorite Cuban food spot. \nTake my advice and come here to eat. I just had a great lunch. These sandwiches are delicious. The sweet plantains are a great addition to your meal, too.\n\nThe owner is a very, very nice guy to boot. His daughter is also sweet and welcoming. They make it a promise to make your food like you want it. That's rare and special these days. Take advantage and support this NEW business. As of today, 9/21/13, they've been open for 5 weeks.", "Stopped by for a quick snack. It was perfect. I had the steak sandwich that was beautifully marinated. I will definitely come back for more. Btw the owner and family make this a very friendly place.", "El Cubano; cocinado a la perfeccion!\n\nYelpers put this on my radar about 10 days ago y muchas gracias.\n\nFamily run little sandwicherie - with the Dad from Cuba. The only other Cuban place on MY radar was on the west side. They do a great job - but 'Taste of Havana' seems to be using a better bread - shipped in from a stellar supplier! And for a pressed cuban - the bread is the foundation. \n\nExcellent meat. lotsa queso. Cocinar con amor y orgullo.\n\nI and the much better half chose cubanos, shared black bean soup and sweet plantains (all excellent sides). Buttressed with a real Iron Beer and cuban coffee.\n\nThe cuban coffee is not on the menu - but a stellar shot, ask for it. Wish were in Carmel instead of Ripple but we'll be back. And very soon. Quicker than I can be in Miami - cheaper than a flight too.\n\n(they don't have empanadas - can only hope soon)\n\nSmall seating area - 4 small tables - 8 stools at wall counters. Quaint, casual, shared intimacy. Maybe too small on a busy Friday or Saturday evening tho.\n\n$21 all in. These folks are good people and this place is the real deal. Volveremos!" ]

[ "We went on a Friday night and the place was packed. We waited about 10 minutes for a booth. It has a lively bar and the dinner crowd reminds you of a family restaurant at the shore, extremely casual with lots of kids running around. Basically a large room with booths, tables and a bar, not much else regarding decoration. Certainly no charm of a quaint Irish pub. The place was extremely noisy to the point I could barely hear my dinner partner. The garlic wings were awesome, she had the seafood tacos and liked them, my black and blue burger was a generous size but OK. The lettuce tomato and onion were really skimpy. A few strands of onion, one lettuce leaf and a two tiny tomato slices, that was it. Our server was excellent. We would prefer a quieter spot for that kind of food, and there are plenty to choose from in the area.", "I hate to give this place only 2 stars but the food was bad to mediocre at best. The pub itself was awesome and had a great atmosphere. It's really clean, spacious, nicely decorated in dark, warm colors, and there are a million flat screen TVs. Even the booths have their own TVs--and they actually let you control the volume and change the channel. So if you want a great spot to watch a game and drink with your friends, this is definitely the place to go. I would love to go back for some beers. That said, I went with family for dinner and I'm just really hoping Dooney's improves whatever is going on in the kitchen. You're probably safe if you stick to the usual bar fare--burgers/fries/wings, etc. But I ordered the pasta primavera. I know, I know, who goes to a place that calls itself an Irish pub and orders a pasta dish? Me. I don't eat meat and I was (sort of) trying to be healthy. I think it was either that or pizza, so I tried the pasta. It was awful. There was no flavoring that I could taste. No garlic, not even any salt or pepper (at least not any amount that was noticeable). It looked completely unappetizing as the only vegetables mixed in were broccoli, zucchini, yellow squash, and slimy long sauteed onions that looked like they belonged on the cheese steaks, not on the pasta. So it was a dish of green, yellow, pale yellow and tan . . . as it's the middle of summer and the place is in NJ, I didn't think it would be crazy to expect some tomatoes! Or bell peppers. Even some fresh red onion would have been great. I just felt like this is the easiest dish in the universe and they clearly couldn't be bothered to do it right. And if they can't do it right, they should just take it off the menu. I've been to other bar/grille-type restaurants and had great pasta dishes, so I know it's possible. My husband had the shepherd's pie and said it was ok, but nothing he would purposely seek out again. I also have to say that our waitress was really slow and disappeared for long stretches of time. It wasn't crowded or busy when we were there yet she didn't pay much attention to what was going on at our table. She was very friendly, but her obliviousness got to be pretty annoying. Since this place is so new I hope it will improve and I'll be able to update with a better rating soon. Bottom line--this place is great for drinks, but don't expect a fabulous meal.", "I think the atmosphere sucked hardcore, I didn't like the fact that we were sat near the bar with my 6 year old. The prices are pretty fair, the service wasnt that great all, could do much better. I think its just a lot of hype really. My burger was heavy and not cooked the way I ordered it. Now the bread was really good and we all thought so. I think they need to step it up with their service (be a little more out going) and pay mind to how people order their meat, bc if I say medium rare I do not want chard corners and a little tiny bit of pink. I think the only thing that saved this place were their prices.", "I went sat night with a couple friends. The place was nice but didn't feel like a Irish Pub. They need to work on that. I like that they have tv's at some of the booth's. Will have to try that next time. As for the food.....I had roast beef club. The roast beef was really good BUT the tomato they used was green & barley lettuce or mayo. I liked the home made chips although they were slightly over cooked. One friend liked her pulled bbq pork & my other friend got dooney's nacho's (used waffle fries instead of nacho's). She said it was just ok....skimpy on the toppings. French onion soup was very good. I wanted to try the shepards pie but that was priced at $15, which seems rather high. Now I see from other review that it wasn't that good. Being a Irish Pub.....shepards pie should rock! The food prices are very pricey for what you get since the are skimpy. I mean, I didn't even get my pickle that came w my club sandwich....! Our waittress was nice & on point. I will give it a 2nd chance AFTER they have a chance to improve. Which they better if they want to make it cause our $$$$ these days is to tight to waste on a place isn't doing it right! Improve atmosphere to a Irish Pub & improve the quality of the food. If a tomato is still green......DON'T USE IT! Someone needs to work on quality control in that kitchen.", "Buffalo chicken cheese dip is amazing. Friendly wait staff and prices are reasonable.", "We went this past Saturday it was really packed (everyone got the $20 off coupon in the mail) but we only waited about 20 mins. It was me, my husband and our 7 and 2 yr old. We were a little disappointed we didn't get a booth with a tv to watch the flyers game but there was still big tvs all around we can watch. We ordered wings and the were DELICIOUS! We all loved the garlic buffalo and the hot were very good too. We all got sandwiches which were all good. Our waitress was very nice and good with the kids even bringing a coloring book over. It was loud but what do u expect on a Sat night at a pub? I don't mind it so then if the kids act up no one hears lol.", "FIANLLY A GREAT PUB IN SOUTH JERSEY.... Dooneys is our new place to hang with friends ... enjoy great food and has an amazing beer selection... The wait staff and managers are very friendly and the pub is clean and has TV;s all over the place... I especially love the booths that have their own Tv... We ordered several things but to cut this short ..the items ordered that were AMAZING were... Crab Fries...WINGS...BUFFALO CHIKCEN SPRING ROLLS..(OMG) AMAZING...Hot Roast Beef sandwich.. Burger and the Mac n Cheese is the best we all had ever had...If you are looking for a great pub with awesome food and a really fun atmosphere without having to spend a fortune....GO TO DOONEYS!!!\n\nyou gotta love IRISH folks.... they certainly know how to create a great PUB environment!!\n\nDOONEYS is our EVERY Friday night hang out!", "A close option if you want to catch a game or grab some food/drink. The beer selection is surprisingly decent, with DFH 90 minute on tap! I had a chance to sample the huge wings and they were pretty good. The sauce could have been slightly better but for the shear size of the wings, they were worth it. I like this place even though it feels chainish; it's clean, comfortable, and an easy option if I want to stay close.", "Dooney's is a great addition to the area for those of us who don't like chains and want good food, drinks and service. We usually sit a the bar and Lauren, Gabby and Dustin are great bartenders - goodf, friendly service. Thank's Dooney's and keep up the good work!", "Great place.

[ "The pizza here is fantastic. There is just something special about the crust - its buttery? Garlicy? I can't put my finger on it, but its wonderful. My wife and I tried it for the frist time on a Friday, and when we had guests the very next day, we ordered some more!\n\nDelivery takes an hour minimum, we're pretty sure, so we've always gone to the store to pick it up. You can dine in, as well, which isn't a bad option. We've never found the dining area to be busy and its comfortable. I believe they've got a deck/patio area for warmer days - I can see that as being a very popular option soon!\n\nThe pasta and subs are great, too. Be sure to ask about their daily specials - I'm pretty sure there are different pickup and delivery specials. Oh! We've heard the wings are great, too, but haven't tried them yet.\n\nMy wife and I highly recommend this place!", "Had a monster stromboli here and was impressed. The dough/crust is buttery and salty and delicious, though perhaps a little too doughy for some. The ingredients were fresh-tasting, the staff were patient (I lost the ability to use words momentarily while ordering), and they have old-fashioned childrens' coloring activities while you wait.", "Tried a couple varieties of the stromboli - the supreme and sausage & mushroom - both were outstanding. But, what really stood out was the crust. It was thick, chewy, buttery, salty and garlicy - in short, it was good. \n\nThis place doesn't skimp on the fillings - which were fresh and well-seasoned. The prices aren't too bad either.", "My review is based on dining in once. This is a great spot to grab a couple surprisingly good slices of pizza on a saturday, maybe after or before a trip to neighboring Sip or the used bookstore. The tables have those red-and-white checkered tablecloths.", "You've gotta love a place whose official name is \"Castrillo's Pizza and Stuff.\" Seriously. Castrillo's recently closed their pretty sizable dining area, which is a shame, because now your only options are carryout and delivery.\n\nThe pizza is delicious; it outshines any chain delivery joint in the area, and they are remarkably cheap. They also offer some subs and pastas, and I'm a pretty big fan of their meatball sandwiches...nice and sloppy. The staff is sometimes a bit ornery, but it's best not to take that personally. They make your pizza quickly and well--I've never had a sub-par dinner there.\n\nSo while Castrillo's used to be the perfect place for dining in over a couple of pies with some friends, now you'll just have to settle for taking it home with you. That's not too bad, because the toppings are plentiful and something about that crust is addictive. I enjoy supporting a local family-run joint, and while their pizza is great, their \"stuff\" is where it's at.", "I was impressed with this pizza place's selection. I stopped in for a quick bite and ordered a roast beef sandwich (that was very delicious.) The sandwich did take about 15 to 20 minutes to get out of the kitchen. Seating is non-existent in the restaurant, but there is a community patio next to Castrillo's. I am excited to try their pizza. I've only heard good things.", "If you live within the delivery area for Castrillo's you have no excuse to order from anywhere else. It's delicious and local; what more could you want? Delivery is always prompt, and I've never received the wrong order which is more than I can say for any of the chain pizza places in the area. \n\nMake sure you add a side of the feta cheese sticks to your next order. They toss big chunks of feta over the melted cheese blend for a tasty twist on an old classic. I have yet to try the stromboli, but be sure it will be my next order from Castrillo's.", "I have been using Castrillos for years and I think they have gotten under new ownership in the last 6 months and I don't like it as much... Crap, I mean I really want to, I do. I even tried again the other day and I was just underwhelmed. \n\nI don't think the sauce is all that good any more and I have gotten some soggy dough a few times. This last time the pepperoni so so over cooked it had hardened and started to shrivel. I didn't even finish one piece. \n\nSo, whomever bought this business needs to call the old owners and find out their secrets and go back to the way it was because that was working for me and this is just not even close.", "Castrillo's is the neighborhood pizza joint of Riverside Village. There's no indoor seating, so it's a pick up and go or get delivery kind of place, but I love ordering from there whenever I'm visiting in East Nashville. They offer your typical pizza place toppings and pies as well as a couple more creative options. The seafood pizza is in reality as crazy as it sounds, definatly for the adventurous. I remember when I picked it up after ordering, the employee behind the counter greeted me with a 'so you're who ordered that pizza'. Not really sure if that was to him a good or bad thing but he was jovial when he said it. \n\nAs good as it is, their pizza is not what makes them stand out to me. They're Feta Cheese sticks are so delicious, and the amount they give you is amazing, you could really order that instead of a pizza and be full. They offer salads, sandwiches and other pizaa shop type food but its their wings that I will recommend to anyone thinking of eating here. They are hands down the best I've had in Nashville so far. First of all they're huge, nothing like the wimpy chicken wings you get in most places. I can easily say they're twice the size of your average wing, and they cook them until they're so tender the meat falls into your mouth. They only have three flavors, but they're all so tasty you could eat them every day. The mild wings are a dry rub which is deliciously unusual and come with banana peppers sprinkled on top, the hot wings are wet and come with jalapenos and the bbq come with pineapple. \n\nI'm craving them again as I'm sitting here writing this and am contemplating driving over there right now in the cold to get some.", "I'm going to give Castrillo's two stars because it was underwhelming to me. But it was not bad. I stopped in for a slice because it's really the only place that I've seen that offers slices. Having moved here from NYC about 8 months ago my eyes lit up at the prospect of getting a slice! Well, it was a bit disappointing to find out that they only serve slices between the hours of 11am-1pm. ??? Weird.\nSo finally, I remember the time properly and was able to stop in for a slice. At first glance - eww...the slice of cheese pizza looks like a big pillow. (strike 1. Slices should be on thin crust and not oooozing with cheese. That's just not necessary). Then I take a bite and I am pleasantly surprised that the sauce is actually pretty good. So, I'm thinking I would entertain the idea of possibly ordering a pie for delivery one day and make sure that I ask for thin crust, light on the cheese. \nI really just don't understand why people think it's necessary to pile on the cheese. That is just not what makes a good pizza slice. It's all about having the perfect balance between sauce and cheese and perfectly baked, of course...we shall see how round 2 goes. Whenever that may be." ]

[ "What a pretty place to enjoy a pint or two. Welcome to the neighborhood Granite City Brewery!! Yes It's a chain but that's ok. Another option for beer lovers in downtown Indy! Had a burger and when it came out the cheese was not melted at all so had to send it back. The food was pretty good, standard bar fare but what reallt stood out aside from the fabulous decor is the waitress we had. She was an excellent waitress that was very informed and friendly. Just wish I could remember her name! I can see myself coming here for a beer and with out of town visitors that like beer and decent bar food that isn't too adventurous.", "VIP grand opening!\n\nOK, I will not go into great detail about the food, since this was a grand opening, so they were just serving selected samples. Good ribs, good pizza, some decent flatbreads. The rest of the food was so-so, but do know that this was being prepared for a large number of people, and their full menu is varied and looks interesting.\n\nThe space itself is gorgeous -- much more \"upscale\" than I anticipated. The bar is lovely, and their beers are brewed on the spot (although some were a little bitter). The outdoor seating area is small, but really, really lovely. Waitstaff was super-friendly and helpful -- seemed proud of what they were serving.\n\nThis should do very well downtown.", "The renovation is amazing. You won't even recognize that this used to be Bertolini's or Bella Vita. Everything has been redone and they busted out the wall on Illinois St and put in a garage door to create a nice al fresco feel (along with outdoor seating) throughout the bar area.\n\nThe best deal for beer here is the sampler. For only $4.95 (most samplers at other brewpubs start at $8) you get to try all the beers on tap (including the seasonals). Granted, some of the beers weren't really beers, just half & half combinations, but still a good deal. They have a full range of beers (wheat, lagers, ales, IPA, double IPA) which they brew on-site so most people will be able to find something they like.\n\nThe food was pretty good. Definitely upscale so that puts Granite City in the \"gastropub\" category. I had the clam chowder which was actually pretty good (chunky and creamy) considering this is Indianapolis which is not known for its seafood. The Tuscan Pomodoro pasta was also very tasty, with a good spice and garlic kick.\n\nThe service was very fast and friendly so no complaints there either.", "Service is great here, nice informative servers about the menu times and beer. The beer sampler is a great value of 8 beers that range from seasonal to year round brews. Initial cost for the growlers is 30 dollars but once you reach the bottom you can fill up on Tuesdays for $7.50!!!! Awesome. \nThe Pilsner and Blonde were average fare, safe, no complexity beer choices for the masses. The IPA offered the best bitters, I recommend both of them, though since the actual components of the beer are made elsewhere and this location completes the fermentation,etc. no one could tell me which Hop combination was used in the IPA's. Not a big deal but I like to know as much as I can about the beer I drink. I'm not a fan of beer mixtures but the two offered on the sampler are not bad, again it's a combination of a safe beer with a complex one. The Beenie is GC's swipe at Newcastle which it matches quite well, even a bit smoother and with less bite than the old blue star bottle. The White Ale is their take on Blue Moon, and again they match and in a way exceed it. Their White Ale has less carbonation and more spices present than the mass produced coriander brew. \nOverall, very very nice interior. Great place to watch a Colts game, great food, impressive and ambitious brews. Go there.", "I liked this place. The atmosphere was casual and the staff was nice. The food was much better than I expected and the beer was good. It's a nice addition to the downtown Indianapolis scene.", "Excellent brunch items. Your waiter will say try the \"hash towns\" they are so much more, they are Reggianio potatoes with creamy cheese melted thru them. \nWonderful breads and great maple bacon.\nThe staff is very helpful and friendly. Will be back for brunch soon!", "Nice place to eat. The food was good (the wings and ribs were perfect!) and atmosphere really comfortable.", "We stopped at Granite City mid-afternoon on a Saturday. Not very many customers, so it was hard to get the real vibe.The street entrance will really help give it some visibility.\nOur server, Sarah, was great. Friendly and helpful, without being overbearing. When it was discovered that two different menus had different ingredients for the same dish, she happily took care of the problem. We hope to have her serve us in the future.\nIt was appetizer time for us, so from the the Happy Hour menu we ordered the Margherita Flat Bread and the Kettle Chip Nachos. Both were delicious and way too much food for just two, so be careful. Go for the beer, too. The menu is extensive and has something for everyone.\n It is very well appointed and is a pretty large space. We were told they have a couple of private rooms, which is great for us, as we will bring one of our foodie groups to eat there. The bar is beautiful, as well as the entire restaurant.\nNo, I don't work there, but we will return soon.", "I finally made it to the new Granite City Brewery attached to the circle center mall downtown. Granite City sets in a remnant footprint of the former site of failed restaurants Berolini's and Bella Vita. I believe Granite City really knows what they are doing, it seems they spent a lot of time and money into making what was an awkward space waiting for the next failure into a re-envisioned and expanded space that is truly remarkable. I love the long deep dramatic footprint this place has from the street (and the outdoor seating nook and street-side patio space). They really want you to know this is an upscale brewery with quality cuisine. I would think of it as a hybrid between one of the other R* breweries downtown and Pallimino. The food is defintly a couple notches better than any other brewery I have been to in town. The waiters and waitresses could not have been more accommodating (we actually had two sets since we sat in the high top area in the bar for appetizers while waiting for a table for our group in the outdoor nook). The beer was great too, the sampler flight is an incredible value if you want to try everything. I ordered a bowl of french onion soup and a beer flight. The soup was excellent and as good as any steak house if not better. For dinner my wife and I split the shrimp tacos and the adult mac & cheese with chicken. I asked the waitress her opinion on a couple of their more popular dishes and she was well informed without selling any one thing and did a really great job describing the dishes in deep detail. All I can say is those shrimp tacos are probably the best shrimp tacos I have ever had. I can not wait to go back, this restaurant is a fine addition to downtown indy. Hey - its the midwest - we cant have too many microbreweries.", "This place is excellent. Great ambiance. Super friendly host and wait staff. I had the open faced meatloaf sandwich. It was terrific. I'm headed home today and only wish I had found this pub early in my visit." ]

[ "Owner John Cuevas was nominated for a James Beard Award -- the Academy Awards of the culinary world -- when he was with a Southern California restaurant. So I knew these weren't going to be mom's tacos made with hamburger and the Schilling spice packet. Oh, no.\n\nI ordered a Korean short rib taco and an Ensenada fish taco. Both were flavorful and came with sauces that complimented their flavors.\n\nIf you expect to pay Taco Bell prices, this may not be your place. These tacos go for between $4 and $5 apiece. That seems a bit pricey for Boise. But I felt it was worth it for upgraded tacos you won't find elsewhere in town.\n\nMadre, which debuted a day earlier, is operating on limited hours, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the first week and then going to the full hours after that. They said they 4an out of food during the evening grand opening. So that's a good sign to know that a large crowd found them the first night in a somewhat hidden location betwwen Boise State and Ann Morrison Park.", "Attended the soft opening last week because I read that the owner was a previous nominee for a James Beard award and I was so impressed! Let me just start by noting the decor: this restaurant is so adorable. Super cute rustic-modern decor, obsessed with the floor tiles, and amazing patio! It was perfect for the beautifully sunny 70 degree day in Boise after a long day at work. \n\nIt was a soft opening so I will make no judgments on the service; the workers were a little confused on delivering drinks and food to the correct tables, etc. but I am sure that will be smoother now. This is a counter-service type of restaurant and they bring it out to you at your table. They have a nice selection of local beers and wine. \n\nLet's talk about the food, it was delicious! They are primarily all about the tacos so I tried the potato and chorizo as well as the grilled fish. The potato and chorizo one was by far my favorite, the fish one needed a little more seasoning in my opinion but also very good. I also ordered chips and guac, I do feel like it was a little overpriced at $8 for the quantity but it was very tasty. \n\nOverall affordable, great place to meet a friend for a bite and drink, enjoy some patio weather and ambiance. I will be back soon Madre!", "Great food!! Fresh and tasty. From what I understand, they don't even have a freezer, so nothing is frozen and nuked. BIG PLUS in my book. \n\nI had a fish taco and a chicken tinga taco and both were very good. My husband had the chicken and the chorizo/spud taco. Loved both but especially that chorizo taco!!\n\nDecor was super cute and welcoming. Will definitely go again and take friends!", "This is a quiet quaint place hidden from the traffic. Madre is a clean modern looking restaurant. Tacos are the main food. Sandwichs, guaq and chips, beer and other drinks are available also. My wife had the Ensinada fish taco ( Baja style grilled). I had the Idaho Potato and chorizo, and mushroom tacos. All were superb and unique with sauces and ingredients. I will gladly go there again and enjoy the quiet atmosphere and great food. Service was fantastic also.", "Food was good! Service needs a lot of work! I realize there new! But need. Improvement ASAP !", "The California Exodus has created challenges for Boise - I say this as a 20 years refugee from the Bay Area myself - but good things too. Like this eatery from recent Laguna transplants to Boise, husband-Chef John Cuevas and wife-front of house manager Julie. He, classically trained with broad experience (also 2008 James Beard semi- finalist for Best Chef / Pacific), and she, with professional hospitality background, have created a destination dining worthy taco-eatery. Pride of ownership and care for diners shows through delectable taco-fare food and warm welcome of interior design and gracious service model. \n\nTo Yelper John S's good point, if you're expecting Taco Bell prices then this isn't the place for you. But the footnote on their menu suggests you're in the right place if you value farm-to-fork sourcing: \"We support our local farmers markets, purveyors of natural and humanely raised meats, and sustainable fishing practices.\" \n\nBOTTOM LINE: We loved it! There is a sense of gracious \"all people are welcome\" here that makes the great food taste even better. If Madre would open nearer my Eagle neighborhood (near the vast wasteland of corporate chains in Meridian), I'd be a regular. In the meantime, I'll plan on 'commuting' to eat here and recommend you do too.\n\nHOURS NOTE: The Cuevas' are being smart about launch to work into gauging demand and processes to fine tune them in early days. I used to work in this industry and it is sign of experience. What that means for we who want to eat at Madre is more limited hours at first, like 11-3, although they plan to extend the hours into evening eventually. \n\nTHE DRILL: Paper menu is on the counter at the front of the space. Peruse it and order from the friendly and helpful folks behind the counter. You'll receive a number to put on your table and they'll find you to deliver when your order is up. During your meal the truly nice service staff will come by to ask if you need anything else; like extra napkins or water or another beverage, and display that they are glad you're there and want to make sure you have a good experience. They bus for you when you're finished. I love this customized table service model!\n\nEATS: The short menu, printed on paper since it will change frequently, is divided in 3 parts:\n\n*Starters - about 3 in options like chips and salsa ($8) to Queso Fundido ($10)\n\n* Tacos - about 10 between $4 - $6 in options too creative to do justice in my description, so I'll insert a menu photo link here: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/madre-boutique-taqueria-boise?select=URxKzV-cKyQVWLz9WYo8bA \n\n*Not Tacos - a couple like Chicken Tinga Salad in $12 range. \n\nThe tacos are fantabulous for flavor combinations. We can't remember ever having better anywhere. And certainly none as creative. \n\nLIBATIONS: Back of menu lists a dozen\"ish\" on tap beers plus a couple by bottle all in $5 range and a handful\"ish\" of wine options for $8 - $12/glass. (If I could wave a magic wand I'd add a Rose to their list. Given millennials are drivers of Rose's popularity, Madre's target audience would likely 'dig it'.) Soda, serve yourself at the machine, is from Coeur d'Alene based natural soda company Tractor for only $2.50. Highly recommend the blood orange or root beer options. If you're a refill type, which we aren't, note they are free.\n\nVALUE: For us: 2 tacos + 2 sodas + chips and salsa = @ $23. Tacos are generously filled and one was plenty for each of us. Good value for great quality.\n\nVIBE: Hearts and hands were put into the work of turning this cinderblock building into a cool but warmly welcoming combination of mid century exterior meets sparkling blue décor, fresh Cal-Mexi on the inside. Open truss ceilings painted white with track lighting, white walls, crisp blue and white stripe fabric on banquettes, dark wood floors with blue and white patterned tile inlays and trim. Seating is distributed through the space at standard height tables (yahoo), banquettes and high bar - about 60\"ish\", I think. Another 50\"ish\" on outside wrap around deck.\n\nACCESSIBILITY: Inside space is accessible per now 28 year old ADA Civil Rights law to provide minority population of people with disabilities the same access to restaurants as people without. Floor space, order counter, seating, loo all work. The hitch in the giddeyup is a person using a wheelchair or walker cannot get from street to the door in front because Boise has failed to install sidewalk over deep gravel. In back lot the single striped access aisle at the ADA marked space is the only without \"step over\" barrier into the building. Thanks to them for their work to keep people from blocking that with vehicles. I have MS so rely on good management like this to get in the door with everyone else.\n\nNEIGHBORS: Lusk neighborhood. Student housing across street. Dawson Taylor Coffee next door.\n\nFUN NOTE: Window into kitchen lets you watch Chef and team at work!", "I saw that the hours had been expanded so decided to stop in one afternoon. They've done a really great job remodeling the space; there's tons of seating and the decor is really cute. However, for the quality of the food, the price was really steep. \n\nThe cheese fundido w/ chorizo was probably the best thing we ordered, it was gooey and had lots of veggies; but it was not worth $10. \n\nI also have a hard time paying $4/$5 dollars for a single taco unless they are just great... and these were not. Although the tacos were hefty and filled well, the lack of salt and lack of salsa selection left me unsatisfied. Just not worth $5. My boyfriend was also very underwhelmed with his selection of tacos, although he mentioned he liked the Idaho taco the best. \n\nThey did have a good local beer selection. you could tell the tortillas were fresh, and the workers at the counter were really nice.\n\nBottom line: If you're going to gentrify tacos, they need to have a lot more flavor. This place has lots of potential, but the college crowd who lives in the area will not be interested in paying $15 for a set of bland tacos.", "This is a quiet quaint place hidden from the traffic. Madre is a clean modern looking restaurant. Tacos are the main food. Sandwichs, guaq and chips, beer and other drinks are available also. My wife had the Ensinada fish taco ( Baja style grilled). I had the Idaho Potato and chorizo, and mushroom tacos. All were superb and unique with sauces and ingredients. I will gladly go there again and enjoy the quiet atmosphere and great food. Service was fantastic also. I love the incentive menu.", "Boutique Taqueria is sort of a new concept for Boise, but a delicious one. \nNice location, right in the Lusk District, just off the BSU campus and among lots of private capital Apartments catering to BSU students. \n\nLots of beers on draft and in bottles. Wines by the glass and a nifty Tractor soda machine. \n\nWe had the excellent chips and guacamole, both house made. We also tried the Korean braised short rib, Ensenada fish taco and the Chef's special of the day , a crispy pork taco. All tasty and yummy. But with the chips and guacamole, one taco a piece would have been plenty for either of us. A couple of fine IPAs from ID and CA washed down the excellent fare. \n\nNicely laid out restaurant with great ambiance. Give it a try.", "We really enjoyed our experience here! The past week they expanded their hours from just lunch to dinner. They are new, so still on the \"preview\" menu, but the full menu should launch soon. This place was developed by a James Beard nominee, so I had high expectations and they didn't disappoint. We had the handmade chips and guacamole (big serving, so be prepared). My favorites were the chicken tikka taco and the Idaho spud potato. My husband liked the mushroom bacon taco and the \"Chef's taco\" of the night, which was a meatball taco. It was a little bit more than we are used to spending ($4-$5 per taco), but I would say that is fair for the quality that you get! This was definitely our #1 pick of the new taco places that just opened up in town." ]

[ "I was so excited to try Capofitto, as I am a huge Capogiro fan, but I was really very disappointed by my experience here. I went in to try Capofitto this past Sunday night for dinner with my boyfriend. We left underwhelmed, hungry and a little pissed off as we spent about $45 for a terrible dinner. \n\nIn Capofittos defense, doors had just opened the week prior. For that, 2 stars seem to be appropriate. That said, the service should seriously be addressed and the food needs to be rethought. Our waitress led us to believe that she had never served before. She was confused and mumbled the entire time; about 30 seconds after being seated, she came over and asked if we knew what we wanted yet. When we did order, she seemed disappointed in the number of things we opted to order and, when asked if it was enough food for the two of us, she simply shrugged and walked off.\n\nWe chose the meatballs, arancini and diavolo (spicy salami) pizza. The meatballs were the high point of the meal; they were really moist and had good flavor, but they were cold. Following the meatballs, our waitress put a large, awkward can on our 4 top table (we were only 2 people) and then brought out our pizza. For $18, Capofitto presented us with one of the smallest Neapolitan pizzas I've seen in Philadelphia. Topped with three pieces of basil, four pieces of salami, and cut into four tiny pieces, it was the single most disappointing pizza I have had in a very, very long time. The arancini came out and didn't do anything to save the dinner - they are seasoned with saffron and, while the color was there, the taste, overall, was lacking and had an unpleasant sweetness to it. Too angry to order dessert we asked our server if we could have the check, she replied \"I guess.\"\n\nBoyfriend said it best: there is no pizza love here. The magnificent oven Capofitto had built with \"all materials imported from Italy, by Neapolitan craftsman\" is being wasted, really. Head over to one of the many other Neapolitan pizza places in Philadelphia where higher quality ingredients are used, you are charged a fraction of the price and you don't leave angry or hungry. Zavino, Bufad and Nomad all have nothing to worry about - Capofitto is nothing more than a tourist trap.", "We stopped in while on a visit to Philly just intending to grab a coffee and eat elsewhere later. But we were getting hungry so we decided to plop down at the bar and try it out. \n\nThree of us split THE BEST local pork meatballs before moving on to the eggplant balls (forget the name) sooo good. Two pizzas - sausage& rapini followed by olives, capers & smoked tomatoes. I loved the food, the attentive staff. The decor is calming and clean. I also want a set of those plates. The small lip on the plate helped me grab that last bit of sauce with my crust so I didn't have to embarrass myself by picking up the plate and licking it in public. \n\nWe didn't stop there. After our lunch, we split two desserts with coffee. All my friend could say about the Nutella and Pistachio roll was, \"You have to try this. It's stupid good.\" And it was. We took the other dessert home, but hit a few red lights and it never made it back with us. \n\nI'll be back.", "I've been to Capofitto twice since they opened their doors and both times the pizza has been on point. Their Prosciutto Di Parma pizza is now my favorite proscuitto pizza in the city, the only issue is that now I crave it. Their beer list is awesome which is clutch, and they have good wine options as well. The space is cozy and not touristy at all like old city can be at times. So happy to have Capofitto in the neighborhood!", "I went with a friend for dinner soon after their opening. We both shared the Diavlo and Prosciutto di Parma pizzas. Although the Diavola was delicious, the Prosciutto di Parma was the best i've ever tasted and was by far my favorite. The appetizers were delicious and the gelato never fails to impress me, if you've been to any of their other Capogiro locations. I would highly recommend dining here.", "Capo fitto is an awesome urban environment with authentic handmade Italian pizza and frozen yogurt. A great environment for the family or for a fancy dinner. You will not regret going to this place!!", "We stumbled upon Capogiro when visitiing Philly while our oldest was in college years ago. It became our go to place for authentic gelato. Simply the best anywhere. We heard they opened a full service restaurant in old city so when we were in town for parents weekend for our youngest we decided to check it out. \nWhat Capogiro is to gelato, capofitto is to pizza. We've been to Italy 4 times. Naples, the world capital of pizza twice. Their pizza is the closest thing to Italy we've had. Fresh high quality ingredients. Thin delicious crust. You don't leave feeling bloated by bready pizza and gobs of cheese. Nice selection of reasonably priced Italian wines too. And when the pizza is done... More gelato. Bon apettito !", "Underwhelming, overpriced, tiny pizzas! Seriously? You can't make them a teeeeeny bit larger? I know it's a personal pizza, but damn, you would think for the price they could grow a few in diameter. Too soft! Keep it in that specially built oven a little longer. If I'm going to read articles about special Vesuvian clay or whatever being hauled over from Italy, I want to taste that nice brick oven flavor! \nFlavors were OK, the pancetta on one of the pizzas we got was practically 100% fat...I mean I know pacetta is fattier, but it took on a sickening, greasy flavor that was not good.\nThis place needs lots of improvement to its pizzas to warrant the price tag and to be held in the upper echelons of other Philadelphia \"gourmet\" pizza like Osteria, etc. \nOn the plus side, the place is adorable and the service was super friendly and attentive.", "The makers of the best gelato on earth (so says National Geographic) are making world-class pizza. The house made sausage is luscious and recommended. The pie is served immediately out of the oven. The crust is fermented--crispy where you want it and doughy in all the right places.", "Only went for gelato. Only about a tablespoon of gelato in the cup and paid a large sum for just a little taste. They do have the best gelato, but please be a bit more generous. Guess I will walk the distance and go to the one in midtown philly.", "I have been here four or five times since it has opened! I am a huge fan of all of the flavors and can never have enough of the dark chocolate. I highly recommend as an after dinner delight! \n\nI look forward to trying the food, hopefully soon." ]

[ "Having just read about Marc Vetri and his eponymous restaurant in Bon Appetit (Sept issue), and having a scheduled trip to Philly, we decided to visit this much lauded Italian restaurant. You might have missed this place walking by it. The restaurant has only 35 seats, a very cozy atmosphere as you would find in typical Italian restaurants. Buon Ricordo (good memory) ceramic plates on the wall remind you that this chef travels to Italy often to further immerse himself in food.\n\nThe menu is updated weekly and changes with the season. They also offer 6 and 8 course tasting menus during the summer. We called just a day before our visit (they book 2 months ahead) we were very lucky to get in! The chef and staff were so welcoming and treated us like royalty! Here's what we ate:\n\nAntipasti - huge antipasto round with lots of yummy grilled, marinated vegetables, smoky cheeses, mixed greens with grana, and freshly sliced ethereal slices of prosciutto done a la minute and brought to our table. We also ordered the Crisp Suckling Pig with Roasted Corn antipasto that was so delicious! The chef also sent out the Foie Gras Pastrami with Cherry Mostarda (the foie gras is \"cured\" like pastrami - this was such an amazing dish!).\n\nFor pastas, we ordered the Mint Pappardelle with Lamb and Sweet Pea Ragu and the signature Spinach Gnocchi with Shaved Ricotta and Brown Butter. Lots of butter in the gnocchi sauce! The gnocchi were almost entirely made of spinach - and just so light and delicate. The chef also sent out a taste of the not-on-the-menu corn ravioli with shaved black summer truffles from italy. Divine!\n\nWe decided to share the main course - another signature: Roasted Capretto (baby goat) with Soft Polenta - it was out of this world! Chef Marc Vetri presented each dish to us, and this was especially incredible - they roast the goat outdoors for hours. It was so tender! \n\nSuch a great experience and we loved meeting Marc. He is an incredible chef and we will be back!", "Vetri was shockingly average. We had such high expectations given the restaurants sterling reputation, but were really disappointed. We made reservations two months ago for a Friday night so we could choose our food a la carte and not do the tasting menu. It's in a small cute location, but once you sit down it feels a little claustrophobic, especially since there are so many waitstaff hovering over your table and over the other diners' tables. It was actually very distracting, because many of the customers are regular patrons there and thus know the staff well. As a result we spent more time hearing about the host's family then we did talking with each other. The chef also seemed out of the kitchen more than he seemed in it, and the result was evident in our food. The menu is intriguing, it's classic Italian with a nice mix of meat, fish, and pasta. As expected at a place like Vetri, it's very expensive. However, when you pay $43 for loin of venison you expect a decent size portion and exceptional execution. That was not the case, except for our pasta appetizer all our dishes were luke warm and only one was a substantial portion. After spending $200 for apps, dinner, dessert, and wine you really should not leave hungry. We thought the pasta was excellent and nothing was bad, but just average. We eat at nice restaurants all the time, and this really didn't measure up. Don't buy into the hype, save your money and eat somewhere else.", "Anyone who says that this restaurant is \"shockingly average\" does not know anything about fine dining. I have eaten in famous restaurants all over the world, and this one is right up there with any of them. I will admit that if you are looking for a \"scene\" or a \"trendy atmosphere\", this restaurant is not for you. However, having said that, I will say that there is no other restaurant in Philadelphia that produces food that is as interesting, fresh, and delicious as Marc Vetri's. The service is impeccable, the menu ever-changing, and the preparations fascinatingly nuanced.\n\nI went there tonight for my tenth time. I took a few friends out for a celebratory dinner. We ate their famous charcuterie plate, a special preparation of nantucket bay scallops, pig's foot ravioli, pork belly papardelle, spinach gnocci, shoulder of baby goat, salt-cured branzino, a cheese plate, lavender gelato, and chocolate souffle. We ordered \"family style\" and enjoyed every single bite. In fact, we ordered \"seconds\" of the papardelle and scallops because they were so delicious.\n\nSome advice before dining at this restaurant. First, eat family style. It is the best way to taste as much as possible of the diverse menu. Second, let them help you choose the wine. The employees of this restaurant are well-versed in the nuances of their wine selections and will help you find a reasonably priced bottle that pairs well with your menu choices and preferences. Third, when you eat here, \"go all out\". That means, get ready to eat a lot, and prepare to enjoy yourself thoroughly. This is a restaurant tailored for those who enjoy a cozy, comfortable atmosphere, nice people, and good food. Again, if you are looking for a trendy restaurant, go to Morimoto. The food won't be NEARLY as good, but you'll find all of the wannabe hipsters you can handle.\n\nI know this is a strong review, but I believe every word of it. There are a lot of excellent restaurants in Philadelphia that may enjoy more \"street cred\" (think Le Bec Fin, Morimoto, Buddhakan, etc.), but certainly do not deserve it. This restaurant is absolutely terrific, and if you walk in with an open mind (and granted, an open wallet), you will absolutely enjoy it as much as I do.\n\nEnjoy. This will be one of your better dining experiences, anywhere.\n\n--WEM", "Thank heaven I ate here. We were in Philly for our anniversary on the fourth of July and found more than several great reviews of Vetri and had to try it. Vetri is now in my dreams. I will forever remember my fabulous meal and evening I had.\n\nFirst, Vetri is tiny about 35 seats, very cozy and intimate with whimsical touches including in the bathroom where the walls behind the sinks are covered with broken sections of ceramic plates.\n\nSecond, the service was wonderfully attentive, informative and not intrusive. They even helped us find a cab on a horribly rainy night -- I had not realized the poor man was wading through ankle deep water trying to find a cab for us for over 15 minutes. Now that is dedication. \n\nFinally - the food. We had the tasting menu -- which is personalized to your likes and dislikes. Every course was more amazing than the last. The gnocchi -- I will always compare future gnocchi to this experience. \n\nDo not miss this dining experience!", "I had great time at Vetri. My boyfriend had just moved to the city, and loves food, and it was his birthday, so I wanted some place special. Generally, I lean more towards a great BYOB that anything quiet this fancy, but after hearing great things, and reading the press, I decided to splurge. \n\nWe had a lovely, quiet, classy time, and the food was delicious. The asparagus flan was surprising, with that beautiful egg yolk leaking out - and I don't even like asparagus. The truffle gnocchi with almonds literally made me cry. The BF had a lamb he found delightful and the wine pairings were great. \n\nI just can't quite give it 5 stars. Maybe its the huge hype, or because I've actually eaten at more memorable places for a lot less $$, or maybe my expectations were a little too high. It's still a fantastic restaurant, and worth a visit.", "My husband and I went to Vetri for our anniversary back in April, and decided to do it up right with the chef's tasting menu and the wine pairing. It was worth every penny. It is by far the most we have ever paid for a meal, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it again. The only downside is that would require another big celebration to justify the price tag.\n\nI liked how small it was; it felt both quaint and exclusive. The tables seemed a bit close together, but not prohibitively so. The waiters are very aware of their space here, and I saw no problems navigating to the tighter spots for them... unlike other restaurants (brassiere perrier?) where you are blantantly cramped, and the waiters are always bumping into you when serving the surrounding tables. It was good enough for lower personal conversations, but close enough that we struck up a friendly conversation with our neighbor as we were finishing up our meals to compare/rave about the different items we had. \n\nOur meal was very relaxed, I didn't find the waiters intrusive at all. I enjoyed hearing about the different wines included in the pairing, and I especially liked that a list of the wines served were included with our tasting menu to take home. I found myself at a few points trying to pace myself with all the food and wine, that I created a small backlog of glasses. The waiters weren't rude at all, or trying to rush me to finish them, which was very comforting, since I felt silly with 3 wine glasses in front of me. \n\nOn to the food: Excellant, Superb, Best I've ever had, Ruined me for other restaurants as there is no way they could top it. Etc...\n\nWith our tasting menu we were able to try a lot of their items. Some were not as good as the others, but the others were so good, it more than made up for it. Also, my husband and I debated if the things we didn't like as much were because they weren't a dish we particularly liked, or just because they werent as over-the-top phenomenal as the other things. \n\nOur favorite items were the spinach gnocchi and the short rib ravioli. 10 stars. It is unreal how the gnocchi melts in your mouth.\n\nWe also enjoyed the sweet onion crepe, duck terrine (tasted like Bologna, but in a good way), crispy sweetbreads with rhubarb & crudo with local radish.\n\nOur entrees were still good, but not great. We had the Baby goat and Bass fillet. These came right after the gnocchi & ravioli though, so that might've had something to do with it.\n\nWe also were not impressed with dessert. My husband had a chocole polenta souffle, which was decent and I had the Zucotto \"tuscan parfait\" which I barely ate. \n\nI'm very interested to try out Osteria, which is Mark Vetri's other restaurant. I know it's not supposed to be as good (how could it!), even though it ranked higher in the Philly magazine top 50 (#1 for Osteria to Vetri's #7). But if it has the same flair, its bound to be great.", "My husband and I have been going to Vetri every year for his birthday since 2005. It continues to prove itself with exceptional food, service, and experiments in fine Italian cuisine that are just out of this world. If you can go for the tasting menu, do it. It gives you an incredible sampling of what Marc Vetri and his kitchen staff have to offer. The service is polite, professional, and always accommodating with special requests. The wine paring is also great, but will leave you heavily intoxicated as well as leaving your wallet in an even more empty state.\n\nVetri is not cheap. So if you're on a budget, save it for a special occasion. It's well worth it. Reservations can be hard to get, so call ahead at least a few weeks for a weekend. They start taking reservations 2 months in advance.\n\nFor a more budget-friendly option, Vetri's 2nd location, Osteria, is also amazing. And, yes, I am happily hopping on the Marc Vetri bandwagon. Not only is he incredibly talented, but really nice too.\n\nFinal thoughts...\nthe spinach gnocchi = absolute heaven", "The food is great but the portions are silly small. Everything is very high quality and the service is perfect(my drink was refilled within seconds of completing it). The atmosphere is small, quiet, and rife with people celebrating various milestones and intimate special occasions.\n\nI'd recommend the spinach Gnocchi and any of their pasta dishes. I tried the goat dish and it delivered a unique texture that I'd say is somewhere in between high quality lamb and duck. Sadly, I left a little hungry after an appetizer, entree, and dessert(but that's to be expected at gourmet establishments).", "Best restaurant in town. Hands down.\n\nI had been a long reader of CitySearch reviews but had been too lazy to get an account myself - until I read the unjust reviews and got an account SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of writing about Vetri. This entry is just what I'm copying over from CitySearch because people seem to be reading more about Yelp now (they might as well pay me given how enthusiastic I am about the place, but they don't). \n\nI've been to Vetri three times, once in fall 2004, another time in April 2007, and last in April 2008 - over that 3.5 yr time span, they were consistently the best. Service can be a little slow there, but that is not a place you go in a rush. Go there and enjoy the freshly handmade pasta. You can't get that anywhere else in Philly. I've eaten all over Europe and Asia and been to 50 restaurants in Philly including the famed Le Bec Fin, Fountain's and Lacroix, and Vetri's beats them all in my book. Their gnocci, ear pasta with mushroom (forget the exact name) and lavender olive oil ice cream (which unfortunately is no longer served) are some of the most memorable delicacies that have graced my taste buds. \n\nIn case there are suspicions regarding my post being a potential PR scheme, I will say that I was not at all impressed by Osteria which is supposedly owned or started by the owners of Vetri. If you are curious as to what other restaurants I frequent or love, Overtures (BYO) is one of the best (food, service), Le Castagne is terrible (except for the gorgeous maitre'd they had in 2005), and Striped Bass, Washington Square and Positano Coast are at the top.\n\nPros: FOOD, FOOD, FOOD (appetizer, entree, dessert - cannot stress this enough!), wine\n\nCons: Pricey, but worth every penny; seating may be a little bit cramped but that adds to the homeliness; getting a reservation here requires 2-months' preparation (i.e. you have to call way ahead)", "Ah, so good. We did the Chef's Grand Tasting Menu the day after Christmas, and I was completely in love with the service and the food. One tip: no need to do a wine tasting/pairing with it - just ask the sommelier to recommend some delcious wines that go with your food and you won't leave too drunk to drive home.\n\nBut please go. For your sake." ]

Although the inside is very diner like and lot all that much to look at, the food is great and very core New Orleans.\n\nIt is the only thing that I have ordered in close to 20 years.", "This place is not pretty. Imagine any 50s diner, and then imagine it a little worse looking. That is Please-U. \n\nBut, don't let that keep you from going in. The food here is very good, with the oyster omelet being a star. Also notable is the stewed chicken with greens. Prices are low, very low. Almost fast food low (why would anyone eat fast food in NOLA?). Note: no dinner service. They roll up the sidewalk here around 5pm and call it a day.", "price wise? this place is a winner.\n\nnothing fancy decor wise.\n\ndaily specials are very local minded, and wonderful.\n\norder anything greek here? and you will be really happy. The gyro's? killer... greek omelet? killer....\n\nbasic, good food, with great prices. they also deliver, and have a quick turnaround. I highly recommend this to anyone on a budget, or not on a budget. its stand up....\n\nagain.... order the gyro's....", "This local venue is a great throwback to the neighborhood diner of yesteryear, only...it's still vital to the neighborhood! The morning I visited, it was something I hadn't experienced in quite a while: regulars who looked forward to seeing each other, a gathering of retirees savoring their French Market coffee and discussing current events.\n\nI had an artery-clogging breakfast of 2 eggs over easy, Patton's hot sausage, and for me, a rarity - two pancakes. The pancakes were a little tough, but I don't care for a lot of syrup. The eggs were so light and not greasy, and even the hot sausage wasn't the oily deluge Patton's creates.\n\nMy server was friendly and even when she forgot items it was lightening fast. Including juice, coffee, and tax my total was less than $9.00. \n\nCheck it out some morning when you call in sick. Take the paper, & enjoy the day with a simple, satisfying meal served with a smile.", "I just finished a wet dressed Roast Beef Po' Boy sandwich and it was magnificent. \n\nYes the place in the inside is a throwback to the 50's, but the food is totally on point. \n\nI now know why the people of New Orleans make such a big deal about these Po' Boy sandwiches....because they are a great deal.", "This was one of the first places I went when I moved to New Orleans a few years ago, and I absolutely love it to this day. This place is all about tradition. It is an unpretentious hole in the wall which has obviously had the same staff for its thirty or more years in business. The decor is amazing- faded posters of Greece (the owners are Greek), Gyros, a few ancient Mardi Gras and Jazzfest promo pieces, torn vinyl upholstery on the booths: just basically pure magic.\n\nI usually get an omelette when I go, shrimp or oyster normally. The omelettes are gargantuan and come with a side of grits or hashbrowns. Of course, the hashbrowns are of the home made, giant hunks with skin on, sauteed with onion variety. So yum. Everything comes with toast or biscuits, which are also perfect. The coffee is wonderful and it keeps coming. Other great meals I've had there: the oyster po-boy is among the best in the city, my son likes to get the steak plate (under $10), the burgers are delicious, and the mufaletta is quintessentially good on some of the best bread I have ever had. Note also that a couple can eat here for under $20 easy.\n\nAs far as New Orleans breakfasts go, this place is among the best. There's never a line like the overrated Magnolia Grill, the service is fast (if not the friendliest), the food is cheap, and the portions often allow you to take home almost half of your order (if you're into that sort of thing).", "My very first meal on the very first evening of my very first visit to NOLA - and I dug it. I was just tooling around with no map, no GPS, no recommendations, not knowing a single soul - following my nose. Then I noticed they sold Po Boys and more; so I parked & went in. \n\nIt's a REAL funky spot, so anyone who needs a safe/corporate/chain experience - move on. That stuff is the opposite of what I love - non-corporate places that are actually unique to wherever I'm visiting are the gold, baby. \n\nIt was nearing closing time, so maybe that would explain how slow it was; there was a blend of black & white clientele, plus a very tall/skinny/blonde tranny in short dress and tall heels. Ah, NOLA...\n\nTo visit the loo, you have to walk through the small kitchen to an even smaller \"bathroom.\" Interesting...\n\nI had a Muffulleta and some butter beans, both great. Here's the Wikipedia entry on this sandwich: \n\nA traditional muffuletta consists of one muffuletta loaf, split horizontally. The loaf is then covered with a marinated olive salad, then layers of capicola, salami, mortadella, emmentaler, and provolone. The sandwich is sometimes heated through to soften the provolone.[2] The size of the muffuletta is enough to feed more than one person, and many stores sell quarter or half-muffulettas.\n\nThe olive salad consists primarily of olives, along with celery, cauliflower and carrot, found in a jar of Giardiniera. The ingredients are combined, seasonings, such as oregano and garlic, are added, covered in olive oil and allowed to combine for at least 24 hours. Prepared olive salad for muffulettas can also be bought by the jar.", "We had no idea what to expect when we walked in. The lady at the front desk of our hotel had recommended this place to us because we wanted some New Orleans seafood. She said this place had good seafood so we took her word for it. The place looks old like a diner should. There weren't a lot of patrons when we arrived but we decided to cop a squat at one of the booths and hoped for the best. We didn't want to judge a book by its cover. Thankfully we stayed because the food was delicious! We got fried oyster and shrimp. Our first meal in New Orleans and we were not disappointed. The meal came with a side salad as well and all for the price of $7.95. Incredible! Something like this in Chicago would have cost twice as much! Service was so friendly here too. I would definitely come back!", "I make it a point to stop in this little diner every time I go to New Orleans. I wish there were places like this in Chicago - the prices, the food, the neighborhood folk make this a truly authentic New Orleans joint. It's also super easy to get to via the streetcar if you're in the area since it's on St. Charles :) \n\nThat being said - no, don't come here if you wanna be wowed by the decor. This place is delicious, home style New Orleans food served by good New Orleans people and that's it. Go on down the street and pay triple the price for food that would never be up to even 1 compared to the 5 star food they have here.\n\nIf you need another reason to go other than the food - well, I absolutely love the owners, Nick and Helen (fellow Greeks :) ). Nick's had the restaurant for over 30 years in the family and even worked in the kitchen himself when he first came over from Greece in his 20s. He knows every recipe you can think of and his shrimp and corn chowder.. oh man, it's the best I've ever had. \n\nI could go on and on about how lovely this place is - just go and check it out yourself. I mean, there's a reason it's been around since 1946 right?", "A hole in the wall you'll want to visit again and again. Found Please U on Yelp and decided to visit during my trip to New Orleans. We had wonderful waffles and the best biscuits. Walked out spending $12 for breakfast. Friendly staff and delicious food. Locals all around!" ]

Quality sushi and service, with moderate prices.", "Yummy spicy tuna rolls, and the rainbow roll was out of this world, fresh, succulent and melt in the mouth, and awsome tempura,\nBut........the yellowtail roll I ordered last time tasted of a kind of polluted fishiness. I couldn't eat it, it was that revolting!!!!\n\n Ichiban is actually a cute sushi restaurant with great sushi most of the time,and a very good reputation in Santa Barbara. There are also traditional tables you kneel or sit at, for that more authentic japanese feel,and it is reasonably priced, and good service. \nMe and my friends who are a mixture of fish-eaters and vegetarians loved the other sushi, so we will be coming back despite this one disappointing experience.", "When I have the $$ to spend, this is my favorite place for sushi in Santa Barbara. Their prices are normal for sushi, not as low as Something's Fishy's 50% off specials but better quality (though I love Something's Fishy too. Omar is the best chef they've got my far. Have him make your food and it'll taste like a different place.) Their spicy tuna roll rocks, as does the rest of their food. I could go on about what makes this place great for a while, but that wouldn't be helpful. 5 stars for the food quality alone. The service is good, the decor is nice, and the location is ok. If this place was, for instance, to move to a swanky, dimly lit bar like location with trendy, modern decor, I think it'd add that extra spark, but then again, it wouldn't be the Ichiban I love.", "I have been here twice. Once their sushi was the best I had in years, my friend I were amazed at the quality. The second time the sushi was good but the fish wasn't nearly as fresh. When their sushi is good, it is fabulous. Otherwise go to Arigato. If Ichiban can be consistant I would praise them endlessly...until then, spend the extra and go to Arigato. At least you can be promised great fish.", "I'm little disappointed with the sushi roll selections (really sticking with the basics) but the fish has been consistently fresh. The service is great, my hot green tea runneth over...and the prices are very reasonable. Very cute and fun little place in the Mesa.", "We were seated promptly and served fast. Their rolls are pretty typical, nothing too creative, but the basics work. \n\nWe got three rolls and a dinner combination, the fish misoyaki was quite good. \n\nThe rolls were good, fresh but not anything to write home about. but overall, it was a good dinner.\n\nThe deco is simple, but I love the fact that they have tatami mats along the side of the room and you can sit japanese style. \n\nTotal bill about $60, which I found to be affordable for sushi.", "I have been there once for dining but I go there all the time for 007 deep spicy sushi. \nI just love it! \nStaff always greet and seems to take care well of their customers.", "My favorite place to get sushi in Santa Barbara. Reasonable prices, quick service, and fresh fish.", "I have tried a few sushi spots while here in SB but so far, this is the best. The portion sizes are huge! (unlike the over rated Something Fishy spot on State...sorry) \nThe unagi was perfect! The whole roll was covered with eel on top of every piece, yummy! And big rolls! The atmosphere is casual and low key. They have a few booth tables on the floor, or so you feel like it. Green tea was fine. Service was okay. I will use this spot for my sushi fix while I am in town for a few months. Enjoy!", "It was O.K. The rolls are a little on the smaller side and dry. It's as expensive as the other sushi joints on state street. All in all it was an average experience." ]

It's a must go kind of place.", "Really good food and friendly, helpful servers. The etouffee loaded fries were really great. I had the pot roast Po-boy and it was delicious!

Can't wait to try the fried green tomatoes next time!! Definitely a MUST VISIT Experience!!!", "The food was just awesome the bread was the star of the show. However I was surprised that they had an upcharge when I received the bill for French fries or slaw. I really think that should be included in any sandwich deal. The sandwiches were huge. I would rather see them shrink the size of the sandwich by 2in since it is so big and include a side like fries or slaw. It just would make me not feel ripped off. I think the overall the place was fantastic but aside should be included in any sandwich deal.

[ "It's been years since I've been here, but memory serves well. As with most good bakeries, the folks at Brandon Bagels arrive well before dawn, crank out a day's batch, and go home when they sell out. If you wake up unreasonably early one day, stop by and get yourself a dozen to slice and freeze before they can see the light of dawn.\n\nUnlike many of the things sold at their nearby drive-thru \"competition\" (and whoever thought those... things... were bagels, an Einstein he ain't), these bagels are not just \"a roll with a hole\".\n\nFor one thing, they're boiled. Real bagels are boiled before they're baked. This store has a machine devoted to the boiling of bagel dough -- that's how serious they are. And you'll know the difference when you rend the glutinous carapace from the soft bready interior with your canines.\n\nIf you've got fresh veggies at home, get cream cheese anywhere you want. If you're bringing bagels to the office, get a tub or two of the veggie cream cheese here -- made here, of course, with honest chunks and slices of tasty vegetables.\n\nAnd if you've got a sweet tooth, by all means get yourself a \"Russian tea biscuit\", the mother of all rugalach. If you don't know what rugalach are, oy vey; a Russian tea biscuit has cinnamon and currants and other treats wrapped up in pastry dough that approaches the tenderness of shortbread but valiantly holds everything together long enough for it to land in your pupik. (\"What's a pupik?\" Oy, you kids, don't you know a basic English word like pupik?)\n\nThis is a take-out joint. You want to sit down? Go home. And hurry... your bagels are still cooling.", "When I am up early and in the neighborhood I generally make it a point to go here for a bagel. They are inexpensive, tasty, and fresh. The decor is nonexistent, but who cares the bagels are that good. This is not a place to sit down and enjoy, you go in grab your stuff and leave. Just like the previous person stated, if you want to sit down go home.", "Great bagels and great price! Not a lot more to be said. The ladies taking my order are always friendly and smiling.\n\nDon't get there too late though. Otherwise you'll have slim pickings.", "These are real bagels. Real!. And their bialys are sensational and as good or better than any in NYC. I super like their twist as well - delicious with egg salad or anything else.\n\nCome support these hard-working, early rising folks. They make tasty egg sandwiches and good coffee,too!\n\nIf you don't know the difference between those crappy imitations and a real bagel, get one here right outta the oven early one morning - it'll blow you away!.", "Great place to order a fresh bagel and have a relaxing seat and enjoy breakfast.", "Delicious bagels and flavored cream cheeses, as well as, barney's coffee. \n\nThe service is excellent and they are quite inexpensive. \n\nGive these people a try...you'll never go back to the chain bagel places again.", "This is the best bagel shop I have found in this area.....and the only one that makes bialys----a form of bagel-dough, but without hole and containing an indented area with tangy onion. Regrettably, they are not well-known so they only make a few each day and sell out early. I have found them only in NYC and Miami Beach....and not lately, But the very helpful server explained we can come early, or call ahead to reserve, or she will bring them to us since she lives in out part of town!!! Can service get better than that?!?.\n\nWe did end up getting a half dozen of fine mixed bagels, including a few \"flagels,\" which are smaller, flattened & crispier than regular bagels, They had a fine selection of multi-grains, pumpernickel, sesame, poppy, cheese, onion, \"everything\" savory, and several sweet bagels---cinnamon, chocolate chip, honey-wheat, etc. A half-dozen for $4.50, and a bakers dozen for $9. They also make sandwiches, including breakfast versions with a variety of sides. Plus flavored cream cheese to go, including lox, veggie, cinnamon, etc. We got the lox and it was great as a schmear on the bagels. \n\nWe do not dare face the Brandon traffic often, but this is worth returning. And next time we will remember to try the Russian Tea Biscuits.", "I buy bagels for my employees at least once a week. I was so excited to try Brandon bagels based on the reviews. I'm standing there no one ahead of me, 3 people working and not one person greets me of offers to help at all. No wonder the line is wrapped around Einstein bagels! Customer service goes a long way. You never know who's going to walk through the doors!", "This place is tied for the second best bagels I've been able to find in Florida since I moved from NJ! I love it, I just wish the drive from Lakeland to Brandon wasn't so, unfun.

I moved here from Philly and was spoiled on great bagels it is hard to find bagels that are made right and these are the best.\n What I call lovingly as Jewish Dougnuts. You can't beat them.

I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last August and could not find a restuarant that I was fully comfortable eating at without the worries of the food being contaiminated by gluten. One day I was at Straubs grocery store in the CWE and they were selling GF muffins with the company called NEW DAY. I had to find this place. I come to find out thats it is only a few miles away from my apartment and everything they make there is gluten free. I venture out only to find that not only it it a bakery but also a cafe serving sandwhiches, soups, pastas, and breakfast. I ordered the Italian Melt and it was one of the best sandwhiches I had ever eaten! Even if I could eat gluten again one day.. I would continue coming back to NEW DAY just for that sandwhich. They also have pre-packaged meals ready to go that you can keep in your refridgerator until you are ready to eat. Cookies, cakes, breadcrumbs, and pastas are also things you can buy there. They also make cakes for special occasions,even weddings.The owners are very knowledgeable becuase Kelly has Celiac Disease as well. They shared all of their information with me as well as having books and magazines that I skimmed through while eating. I eat at new day usually once a week, sometimes twice. It will be my go to place for when I need a quick bite that I know will be safe to eat, as well as being greeted by the wonderful and caring staff who knows me by name. LOVE THIS PLACE!", "I have been meaning to get out to New Day since I moved to STL a year ago. I finally did and I really wish I'd gotten here sooner. I am, of course, pro any place that is completely gluten free. To be able to sit down and order anything off the menu is huge for a Celiac... ANYTHING. Not, can I get the salad but hold the croutons and the dressing. Not, can I have the sandwich without the bread. Or, can you please go back and grill the chef on how they marinated the meat. Anything.\n\nI settled in on their special sandwich of the day and it was really really good. Their gluten free bread is incredibly good and potato salad tasty. My daughter was behaving so I stayed longer and treated myself to a cinnamon roll and it was exceptional. Happy happy girl was I.\n\nThe only reason I'm giving this place a 4 star instead of a 5 star was the cupcakes. So happy with my dining experience I took some cupcakes to go. They were a bit dry and just meh. So much so that I decided not to order a large fancy cake for a party coming up and found time in my very busy weekend to bake it myself.

You first walk into a showroom of exotic wines from around the world. While the selection is not as big as a larger store like Total Wine, it's perfectly diverse enough for me to feel confident about purchasing a wine that I haven't tried yet(or suits my tastes). Most of the bottles have a note-card with a brief description of what to expect of the wine which is excellent because, let's be honest, not all of of us are wine connoisseurs like we'd love to be.\n\nOn the other side of the store, there's a quaint, dimly lit wine bar--perfect to have a conversation without having to shout over a DJ or overpowering music like other places.

Cru has a nice atmosphere, with a spacious display room of wines in front of a cozy tasting room off in the back.\n\nIt was my first visit, and I was pleasantly surprised by their stock which includes a selection of wines in all price ranges. But at a wine shop, it's not necessarily the selection that tips the scales, but the knowledge of the owner and their ability to meet their clients' needs.

So yay for sparing my sore throat!\n\nWe each went with a wine flight since we were unfamiliar with the wine offerings. Wine is also offered by the glass or the bottle. The wines are on the younger side, probably because everything comes from the wine store and not some Bern's-like cellar.

That's sort of the point of getting a flight of wines -- tasting a bit of a bunch of wines.\n\nWe started with a farmer's platter. I have to say the cheese selection is fantastic and heavenly. I'm less impressed with the meat offerings. Presentation of the platter was great, although the tables are a little small for the large plank. We also tried the bouillabaisse and the pork loin. I really loved the bouillabaisse -- the broth was light and refreshing, lots of lemon and wine but sadly lacking in saffron, the fish was tender and perfect, and the mussels fresh tasting. I ate all the bread, wanting to sop up all the broth. My husband liked the pork loin and commented that the portion size was huge.\n\nWe will happily return!", "We came in to Cru for wine Wednesday and had such a great time. On some Wednesdays they have wine tastings, so we were able to taste 5 different wines, mainly from the napa area, which were all excellent. We came with a group so we were also able to sample a ton of the food (we were told food is new within the last few weeks). We were blown away with the food! The orzo was Amazing, the flatbreads (fig and prosciutto, and mushroom and goat cheese) were also delicious. If you are interested in cheese pairings you can also do a platter of cheeses and italian meats to match with the wines. I'd highly recommend Cru.", "Stopped by Cru Cellars last week and was very pleasantly surprised. The place was hopping and a quick stop ended up with pretty much a full blown meal. We started with the hummus and crostini which was delicious - just the right touch of garlic. Then went on to the flat breads - ordered both but not being a huge goat cheese fan, I passed on that one but really enjoyed the prosciutto with blue cheese, arugula and fig jam. A great combination of flavor, all complimented with a wonderful chardonnay. On to to very substantial portions of the bouillabaisse (wonderful! the seafood was so fresh, just the right amount of fennel) and the steak, egg and polenta (which I didn't get even a taste of since my husband wouldn't share - it was that good!). All complimented with some fabulous wines that we ended up buying to bring home. Will definitely be back!", "What a charming little place! Part wine shop, with a diverse selection of wines, and part bar/restaurant. \nThe vibe is laid back and unpretentious. Sit down at the bar or the high top tables to eat, drink and relax.\nWine flights are a favorite of mine, and I'm impressed with the variety of wines by the glass as well.\n\nFor a smaller restaurant, the new menu offers plenty of choices. \nTry: The pork tenderloin with roasted potatoes and, while the serving size was on the smaller side, it was delicious. \n\nOther good options: If you're not in the mood for a full meal there are plenty of cheeses, olives, and bruschetta to pick at. Flatbreads also sounded good.\n\nThe only negative is the chairs- after a few hours my butt was numb from sitting on them. That may be a good thing though, otherwise I might still be there." ]

[ "Possibly the best cheesesteak in the whole city... Too bad about the name... A young Korean woman started a major protest about the name. The owner in response said, \"It's not racist at all. In fact, it's named after my Grandfather who founded the place. They called him Chink.... cause of his Chinky eyes.\"", "So much has been made over the name controversy of this place, I'm going to try a different slant in this review.\n\nThe only chink in the armor of this otherwise bulletproof northeast cheesesteak stalwart is its long distance from center city. I remember taking a bus here once when it was rainy, cold and wet. Back in the day, I could make such journeys, but now my whole body aches after a couple walks in miserable weather! Normally, I wouldn't even think about making such a laborious journey, but I had only one thought that day: go and have yourself a delicious concoction of melted cheese and succulent meat.\n\nHaving eaten nothing but a few Kraft singles and crackers all day, I was eagerly awaiting this meal.\n\nBut back to the review. I was surprised after walking in the cold, and the wet to come across a small little place that was surprisingly spick and span. There was a menu on the wall, and it described other types of sandwiches such as mushroom italian meatball cheesesteaks and other gobbledygook, but I was there for one thing and one thing only. \n\nWhen the sandwich came out, it was everything I was hoping it to be. Warm, succulent, steaming hot and delicious. They certainly weren't niggardly when it came to stuffing the perfectly crusty roll full of delicious meat, onions, and cheese product.\n\nIt was just the thing to get me through the day.", "forget pat's, forget geno's, forget jim's -- this is the cheesesteak.\n\nas for the offensive name, it's not common knowledge, but has been documented in newspaper articles of olde, that it is a nod to the founder's childhood / early adulthood nickname amongst all his peers. in naming his restaurant after the nickname he made the business personal and also acknowledged his neighborhood friends-for-life who know/knew him by that nickname. you really can't fault him for that.\n\nlook past that and just go and enjoy a perfectly hand-crafted cheesesteak, fantastic fries, vanilla milkshake as you sit in a time capsule of a place that probably looks the same today as it did in the 50's.", "Well, I haven't written a Yelp review in a while, but I ate here yesterday and had to give my two cents. \n\nWell, the first and foremost thing to be said is this: this was probably the best cheesesteak I've had in all my life. It was absolutely delicious, perfect, heavenly. Seriously, it was completely awesome. A description won't do it justice - the bread was fresh, the meat and cheese and onions - you've got to try one. Anyone who actually has a cheesesteak there on a good day will NOT be disappointed. \nThat's why I'm giving this 5 stars. The decor inside - it was dingy, it was a dive restaurant, that seemed to me to be a bit of the charm of the place. \n\nThe name of the place... I don't really have an opinion on that - I'm not offended, but I'm not Asian - to anyone who is offended by it, I'm sorry and I respect that. But, I would still recommend going there and trying a cheesesteak - the owner seemed very friendly, and the staff was professional and very cool - I don't think that anyone there would ever give anyone a problem because of their ethnicity. It's not my place to advise anyone to just \"get over\" the name - if that's going to be a deal breaker as to whether or not to go to this place, then there's nothing I can do about it - but, with my restaurant reviewing reputation on the line, I can say with no reservations - it's a damn good cheesesteak.", "Chink's makes one of the top two or three cheesesteaks in the world. This is the result of quality ingredients and taking pride in the work you do. The place is a dive, yes, but the service is great. Make sure to try the milkshakes.\n\nAs for the name, get over it. It is the guy's nickname. Everyone seems to want in on the victimization racket nowadays. I can assure you, if you are white or black, and you venture into a store in Chinatown, you will have far worse insults hurled at you- in Chinese, of course.", "Before I review Chink's Steaks I need to correct the very first review on here by Alex P. The current owner (Joe Groh) is not the grandson of the original owner (Sam \"Chink\" Sherman). Joe used to work for Sam back in the day and eventually bought the place from him.\n\nI'm 35 and didn't hear of Chink's until I was 25. My ex-girlfriend's dad introduced me to the best cheesesteak in Philly. My relationship with her may have gone south, but my relationship with Chink's has been a sweet romance with nothing but love. \nI became a regular in there. All the girls knew me (they are ALL good looking) and soon the owner, Joe, got to know me. He got to know me so well, in fact, that he invited me to the Super Bowl party at his house when the Eagles were in it. That was a sweet memory. \nThat's the benefit of a small business: they know you and you know them. \nAll that being said, Chink's is by far THE best place to have a cheesesteak. Located in a working class neighborhood, this is a far cry from a touristy joint. This is where the locals go. It's our secret. The cheesesteaks are great. The chocolate-banana shakes are great. What really makes this place the BEST, though, is the ambiance. The narrow booths. The old swivel stools at the counter. The jukebox. The \"made in front of you\" fountain sodas. Most important: the \"made in front of you AND passers by\" cheesesteaks. The steaks are literally made on a grill in the front window. No secrets here.\nThis place doesn't \"feel\" like an old malt shop. It IS an old malt shop. Sherman opened it in 1949. That's right, Chink's is 59 years old. How many restaurants can say that? \nAll in all, if you want to relax after a hard day at work and enjoy some comfort food, Chink's is the place to be.\n\nMike Suermann Jr", "Coming from South Philadelphia and all is was kind of disappointing to find that THE best cheesesteak actually comes from the Northeast.\n\nI was introduced to Chinks by my husband, a native of the other end of the city, and immediately fell in love with both the food and the environment. It reminds me of a Woolworth's-style luncheonette, fountain drink dispenser, stools, malts and all. I don't think anywhere near me could match the malts and shakes, which are always perfect and the sandwiches are so good that it makes this little one want seconds. \n\nI like how the staff is a mix of family and local kids. It's how a neighborhood business should be: run by the neighborhood. They were also supposed to open another shop down by the piers but I'm hearing someone gave them a hard time because of their name...ain't America sweet.", "I really don't care what they name the place (I LOVE THE NAME!) --- if it's good, I'm eating it! The steaks were freakin good! One way, only American Cheese though. It's ok though, the thick banana milkshake made up for it - done and done. ----", "We're from L.A., so I really researched where I wanted to go for my first Philly cheesesteak sandwich actually IN Philly. Yelp reviews led me to Chink's (thanks guys!) and we were not disappointed. That was the best sandwich I've had in a long time. The cheese/meat/onions were all proportionate and the bread was just right- soft but dense. The shakes aren't half bad either. The chocolate was rich and creamy. All in all, Chink's is a must anytime you are in Philadelphia.", "classic steak shop with extra thick milk shakes. They have fountain sodas and egg creams what ever that is. The steaks are cooked in front of the window which is different for most steak shops that usually hide their grill in the back. The most redeeming aspect: VERY CUTE YOUNG LADIES COOKING AND SERVING. sad part: the bathrooms up a flight a stairs" ]

[ "Okay, so totally new place. I feel sort of bad giving it four stars because it has killer potential as a five-star and it's probably the cleanest place on bourbon st.\n\nThe food was amazing, especially the appetizers, but the price was a little hefty and some of the burgers are built waaaaayyyyy too big. I know they're going for \"great value\" in an area where many restaurants are way too skimpy, but the result is a burger that ends up being too big to eat well. \n\nOn the TV front, it was amazing, just the right amount, size and positioning for the TV's gave us an easy place to watch Thursday night football. If you're looking for a sports bar, this is it!", "Oh, I wanted to LOVE this place! \n\nThe meal took forever, which was okay, but then a table seated after us got served first...not cool. then our sweet potato fries came out cold. My burger was a one-star and the pretzel bread bun (sounded awesome) totally fell apart. It was just a mess. The only saving grace: we got to eat in one of Bourbon Street's famous wrought iron balconies. That was nice.\n\nBut really, Louisiana, no medium rare????? You're killin' me. Way to take the enjoyment out of a burger. =(", "Great find on Bourbon St that is not a filthy rat-hole. Good place to watch NFL games and get a burger & beer. I had the Gator burger... delicious! Service was fast and friendly. If I get back to the French Quarter I will hit this place again for sure.", "New, clean restaurant. Expensive burgers and sides, would not cook burgers as med rare. Came out like hockey pucks. Better burgers at Yo Mamas or Port of Call. Brushed off by chef and staff when complained of food quality. Won't be back.", "The food on Bourbon Street is generally not that great. When I visit New Orleans I usually try to eat on any other street. During my most recent trip, my boyfriend and I decided to stop here just to drink and enjoy some people watching. We sat on the balcony for hours and ended up ordering only only drinks and some fried pickles. Our server was so sweet and we really had a good time. The next day we were looking for a place to watch football and get a little lunch so we made our way back to Bayou Burger. This time we ordered a burger to share called The Cowboy, an easy choice since we are both kinda obsessed with bacon. We knew we couldn't go wrong with a burger described as having, \"heaps of seasoned bacon, cheddar cheese, grilled onions and a tangy BBQ sauce.\" All the burgers are served with house made kettle chips. We decided to add on order of French fries too. \n\nThe burger was HUGE. Plenty of food for both of us to share. The fries where okay but those darn chips were addictive! I ate way too much but I just couldn't help my self. I would order this burger again but with an extra order of chips instead of the fries. \n\nI have to say the service we received was top notch on both visits. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The manager stopped by and so did a member of the kitchen staff. I'm not accustomed to this level of service on this particular street. It did not go unnoticed and it was very much appreciated.", "I felt like we walked off Bourbon street and into burger heaven. The gator burger was incredible! The loaded fries were mind blowing. We had a few other burgers and everyone was awesome. This isn't just a great burger spot but a fun place to watch a game. We were there during the LSU - Alabama game and the place was nuts.\n\nThis is a must try! Please open one in PA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", "Gross. The burgers were overcooked, had way too much meat and were way overpriced. I mean a $14 burger should be gold. I should have known that anything on Bourbon would bank on the street name. I would have been better off getting a $3 dollar slice of pizza.", "The Ultimate Cure Burger...\"cured\" me!\n\nAfter a few nights of indulging in the local fare...oysters, gumbo, seafood (all delicious) my inner self was begging for some beef. The billboard caught my eye and I had walked by this place the prior night on Bourbon St. It was calling me. The ambiance was cool with nice TV's with sports. It was very slow due to the time of year but the staff was not taking for granted the few patrons.\n\nService was very good with a young man behind the bar. He took interest in my menu choices and the rest of the staff was interacting with myself and the other man at the bar. Very welcoming for an out of towner! Good high def TV's and good music playing.\n\nOnly had a soda, but as you all know can be terrible when a soda system is neglected. It was cold, refreshing, and had the right amount of syrup. A big cold coke always is a good teammate for a great burger.\n\nThe Ultimate Cure Burger came out and looked like a man vs. food item. It is a multi decker apartment building sized pile of love. Two patties, fresh bun, a grilled cheese with bacon is stuffed in the midst of the various layers, lettuce, tomato, a seasoned mayo. Yum! I got fresh crunchy chips on the side. Highly recommended since fries would have weighed me down and I wouldn't have enjoyed as much of the burger as I did. (Almost ate the whole thing... Impressed the bartender) Man won!\n\nThe only reason I gave it 4 stars is the burger patties were slightly well done. If they were pulled off the grill a bit sooner it would have added some flavor but still superb. No meat temperature asked when ordering.\n\nNice place and in a fun spot on Bourbon Street. Highly recommend it...", "Had \"The Ultimate Cure\". Its was very good! Goes well with a local brew. Many to choose from. Great staff.", "I have to hand it to them, this is probably the cleanest place on Bourbon Street. They have lots of flat screen TVs and an impressive bar. The staff is polite and the location in right in the middle of the Bourbon Street action. Unfortunately, they really need to work on the execution of their burgers. I tried every burger that was ordered in our group, and they were all a little over cooked. None were juicy, like good burgers are. If burgers are the focus of your business, you need to make sure they're worth having it on the sign. I'll give them props for everything else, and the burgers weren't bad, they just weren't that good." ]

[ "I like.\n\nFood: Juicy khyber burger with melted smoked cheddar, barbeque onions, spicy creole mustard and a choice of side, which, in my non-healthy binge, was sweet potato fries. Mmm. Absolutely delectable. Washed it all down with a dogfish midas touch, which I enjoyed at a $2 discount thanks to the 5-7 happy hour deal.\n\nAnd although I selected one of the most carnivorous items on the menu, I also appreciate variety - they have some interesting vegan options such as a Grilled Vegan Sausage sandwich with lettuce, roasted poblanos, red onion, pickles, creole mustard and vegan mayo. I may want to try that next time around so I feel a bit lighter on the way out.\n\nAmbiance: Laid-back, unpretentious, dim-lit rusticness. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive - waters promptly refilled, statuses checked, and satisfaction verified all at the appropriate times.\n\nI'm docking a star because the bathroom(s) were crappy. Both are singles right next to the bar and while I was there, one was out of order and the other just wasn't pretty. I'm hoping once they finish the second floor there will be bathrooms up there as well...\n\nJust for fun: Khyber Pass is a strategically significant mountain pass linking Pakistan and Afghanistan. Cool right?", "Its like the Kiss album Dynasty. Kiss released that in the height of disco; it was an ok album but a transparent attempt at staying relevant. Its kind of sad eating here. Just seems off. \n\nHaving said that, the food is pretty good and they have some great beers. Not sure how big the kitchen is but the menu is small. Maybe they'll increase it as they get in the groove of being a food only place (not a music only place). \n\nI'd recommend it. Its a million times better for BBQ than the place Q around the corner.", "Tried this place last night and was heartily impressed! Our server was awesome, the food was fantastic, fresh and all around great comfort food! I got the 'Fried Chicken Po'Boy' that was on special with a side of 'Mac-n-Cheese'. MMMM! The mac was awesome with a nice light crust and a bit of a bite to it. The sammich was kick-ass good!\n\nYou can't shake a stick at their beer list either! Southern Tier Creme Brule beer? Yes - F'n - Please! Abita Purple Haze on tap? I was a happy camper. I was even happier when I saw the bill was $35 for 6 beers and 1 entree (I swear that was not all me!). \n\nI will most defiantly be dragging all of my friends here on a regular basis for some real Southern Comfort :-)", "Went to Khyber last night for the first time for after work HH.

Didn't get a change to get food but I'm definitely planning to go back and check it out as it looked amazing. Really decent beer list too. All in all, i can't wait to go back and would recommend this to anyone looking for a cozy friendly place for some food & drinks.", "Stopped in here to try the food after seeing a movie.

Only drank beer, but I likes the ambiance. I heard it was closing, and was sad. Fearing the rumors of a Japanese-style place, I was releived when it reopened as a revamped Khyber.\n\nChecked out the new place on Friday. Quite impressed. The beer list was fantastic. The bbq-style food was good. Kind of sad that there is Q around the corner and Khyber. Two places that serve bbq. Hopefully everyone will win.\n\nKhyber wasn't overly crowded. Bartenders were friendly, and knowldgeable about the beer selection. Food was good. I had beef brisket, mac and cheese, and collard greens. My wife had fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and baked beans. \n\nBrisket was moist, but had a lot of fat. Fried chicken was crispy and juicy. \n\nBeer selection was quite impressive, and based solely on that, we will return.\n\nIt looks like Khyber righted itself, hopefully it will maintain a decent following and stay afloat for a long time.", "Miss the old Khyber however having food later than seven and a full menu is great and going to be awesome. I just dined there last night. They only have an introductory menu but they are willing to serve what they have anyway. I only wanted some fried shrimp and macaroni and cheese and Eric the bartender made that happen. The macaroni and cheese was fantastic and could be shared the side is large. My husband had a North Carolina Brisket sandwich with fries and really enjoyed it. He believed he could bring his friends from the south here to try the brisket. The fries were quite tasty too. The beer specials are good however no longer $1 domestics for happy hour, but a $1.50. However they have doubled their draft selection and increased their bottle selection as well. The only beer missing I think is Miller High Life, however I am not sure there are many people missing that. The staff is extremely helpful with the beer selections, and the menu.", "First impressions are incredibly important. The first impression I got of the new Khyber was during their grand opening this past Wednesday... I got their just in time for the hour of free Sly Fox and bourbon, friendly, generous and attentive bartenders were walking around with beers to give away, no annoying wait at the bar to get their attention for a drink. Awesomeeee! I just missed all 22 drafts being $2 but a look at the list was promising, they even carry the Dogfishhead Olde Barleywine (15% ABV, $7- not bad!). Good juke box, nice bartenders, good atmosphere.\n\nI like the new revamped interior, white christmas lights all around gave it a Cantina-esque feel. The dining area was open and not cramped. I would definitely go back for a drink here whenever I'm in Old City, gotta try the food too!", "With a no-frills woodsy aesthetic, tidy bathrooms, and a unique road sign chalkboard beer list, the Khyber is now dressed to impress.\n\nWent early on a Friday night for dinner and was thoroughly impressed. Our served was awesome - very nice, very patient, and very helpful! The beer list is stellar, on par with Sidecar, the POPE, South Philly Tap Room, etc.\n\nWe had soup to start - the Vegan Sausage and Greens soup was tasty, but clearly made with TJ's Soyrizo or something comparable. The gumbo, while served in a cup that was more of a tablespoon, was excellent. Rich, dark, and meaty with that deep warm spiciness.\n\nBe aware when ordering the pulled pork: this is serious Carolina-style pulled pork. No sweet saucy messes. Just spicy vinegar tenderness. The vinegar was so overwhelming at first that I actually chocked a little, but by the second bite you adjust, and all you can taste is that tangy bite of the mush-tender pork. Only complaint is that the bun was slightly over-buttered. Not necessary.\n\nThe prices are good, comparable to similar gastropubs, and it's right around the corner from Eulogy if you want some delicious quadruples for dessert (like I always do). As long as you can avoid during peak douchebag hours, I would say give it a go!\n\nOh PS - the collards were TASTY AS HELL.", "wow! love the transformation from dive bar to gastropub!!! the food is wonderful and a great selection for vegans. the beer list is great too! very nice staff and cozy space!" ]

I had a great make your own salad and a little treat from the honeybar which is the coolest idea ever. It TRUELY is a healthy treat. I'm so excited to go back and try a stir fry and a smoothie. This will be my new go to place:)", "I really like the idea of local food, and fresh food.\n\nFood was ok, a little blend taste, you would expect more from a dish named Five Spice BBQ (even though it said it wasnt spicy I still would like some taste).\n\nWhat really killed my appetite was the cleaning girl that cleaned the table, her pants where down by her ancles and it was just not pleasant to see.\n\nLocation is great, and the place looks really cool. Ill be back, but not something I am dying for to go to. Great ide, and I really hope they succeed.", "I really wanted to like this place, but with so many other options, I think I'll probably pass.\n\nThe parking lot is a disaster, with people circling around like vultures in hopes of finding a spot. If it weren't the middle of winter, I would have just parked at L&T and walked over, saving me some aggrivation.\n\nIt was nice and bright inside, and everything looked cleaned. They use the same touch screen ordering system at Wawa, which is cool when you're ordering for yourself but not so cool when your trying to order for a couple of people from your office. I was happy with the turn around time though - my order was ready within 5 minutes at most.\n\nI orderded the EOS, which is basically a greek salad. For the same price, I could have orderd a better greek salad from the corner pizza place and it would have come with chicken. I paid extra for the multigrain bread, which I ended up tossing as it was tasteless and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do with it. \n\nThe honey bar was really good, and is the only reason I'd go back. With that being said, a little fruit salad with honey is not worth dealing with that parking lot.", "Absolutely fantastic lunch spot conveniently located on City Ave.\n\nWhen you walk into this place, you don't have to talk to anyone. You can walk right up to the kiosk, orders your meal (custom or choose the menu options) and pay right there. Then when your order is ready, they yell your number. So far I have tried a smoothie (just fruit and ice) and created my own stir-fry. The smoothie I tried, was pineapple, mango and ginger. It was crisp and deliciously refreshing. I appreciate the fact that they only use fruit and water, making it healthy and fresh. If you're used to smoothies with dairy, then you will probably find these too tart, but I definitely recommend you try one! Perfect for days you aren't famished by lunch and just want to have something light. They have different types of sauces, ranging from mild to spciy, and a solid variety of vegetables to choose from. The condiment bar is also well-stocked to add extra spice or sweetness.\n\nI recommend you try this place for lunch. Don't be discouraged by the lunchtime crowd either. The cooks move swiftly and the food is worth it.", "Overall pretty satisfied with the experience . The ability to order from a touchscreen is very 'Wawa-esk' and allows you to customize any of their base dishes or create your own. The ingredients seem fresh and well prepared.\n\nThe portions are appropriate for they price and the service was prompt.\n\nWould go again for a weekend lunch or weekday quick dinner.", "Hooray for Honeygrow! This place is a savior in Bala Cynwyd, which has a dearth of fresh, healthy food. I was excited when Corner Bakery opened, but that turned out to be pretty underwhelming. Now that Honeygrow is here I've got no reason to step another foot in Corner Bakery.\n\nI was a little apprehensive when my order totaled nearly $15 (including the bread and fountain drink) but with the generous amount of premium toppings I had ordered, it really only came down to a couple of bucks more than a salad from one of the local delis or catering places. Or hell, even nast Saladworks. So really, paying $13 for an absolutely delicious salad with grilled shrimp, avocado, blue cheese and portobello really wasn't all that outlandish. Next time maybe I'll try the chicken or tofu though, and keep it closer to $10.\n\nEchoing some of the other reviewers, I also really love the self-serve kiosk ordering system with credit card swipe payment. It made the experience so quick and efficient, I didn't have to even talk to anyone before I picked up my order.\n\nIf they would do wraps too this place would be perfection, but still they get five stars.", "The stir-fry is really good, but both times I have been they've given me the wrong order or messed something up. The smoothies are just ok, some fruit that is added to it is canned. Would probably go back, hopefully the service gets better cause this could be a great place in bala cynwyd.", "I LOVE this place! Last week was my first time trying their food out, and I've been back here 3 times. So far they never mess up my order.\n\nThe place is nice and clean. I like the touch screen computer to order our food, make things go faster and simpler. The place setting is like Chipotle but with a touch screen computer like Wawa. There are many offices in this area so it can get very crowded during lunch hour but so does every other food places. They put the food in a Chinese Take Out box, even if you eat inside. All the boxes are the same size, and if I compare it to the real chinese take out boxes this one would be in Large.\n\nIt's definitely a must try restaurant, and even if you don't like it well the food price isn't expensive." ]

It may very well be one of the best coffee houses out there, and the suburbs could really use some. \nThe coffee and teas are top notch, the food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly. but the best reason to go here is for it's music nights. they invite song writers to play a set every Friday and Saturday at 9pm. and they have an open mic night every Monday.

You just feel so familiar with the place, like you've seen this place in a movie or on a postcard.\n\nOn top of that, they serve great drinks. I've tried their smoothie, which wasn't really impressive, but their tea and coffee are different stories. I've tried many of their tea selections and nothing disappointed me yet. I usually ask for shot of vanilla syrup with my tea to add some sweetness. Their baked goods are pretty good as well.", "Simply put, the Grypon Cafe makes me feel infinite. It's about two minutes away from the Wayne Starbucks, but believe me when I say that all the cool informed coffee connoisseurs flock to Gryphon Cafe. Its setting is quiet and intimate.It exudes a chill and serene vibe, from its very dim lighting and small (in a good way!) space. The lattes are very good- made with strong espresso. In addition, it provides various baked goods, although I've had a really dry, stale brownie from there (A big no-no! As a result, I don't care too much for the baked goods). In addition, Gryphon supports a lively local music scene; music begins at 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.", "Gryphon is awesome but way too cool for Wayne.

And yes, the coffee is (I think) the best in town.\nIn addition, Rich is doing some really fabulous things that extend beyond Gryphon (that none of the major chains could do); he buys produce from local, organic farms and uses environmentally friendly cups (corn based plastics and recycled paper cups). He's also done a great job in maintaining the character of the space by refurbishing and restoring elements, thereby giving elements second lives.", "A great alternative to Starbuck's chain atmosphere and burnt-tasting coffee roasts. The Gryphon is what a coffee spot should be. A mix of young, and not so young clientele. The coffee offerings are good, but not superb. Other beverages are also good-offbeat sodas, homemade lemonades, and really decent hot chocolate. The food works in a pinch, but more about the beverages. The only downside is that it has been overrun by \"the Wayne ladies who lunch,\" and a fair number of \"alternative\" poseurs wearing crocs. The counter staff can be a bit flaky but adds to the charm.", "I have been going to the Gryphon for well over 8 years. I love the place so much I wouldn't hesitate to name my first born, Gryphon. I'm a complete tea snob and feel utterly at peace inside the Gryphon. Mostly because I became a tea snob inside these very walls. \n\nBut where to begin!? As I've mentioned, their tea is to die for. I know it sounds dramatic but they have dozens of loose teas to pick from that are served in individual mismatched tea pots. (I prefer the brown pot with a yellow lid, and yes some barista's remember weird quirks like this!) I know nothing about coffee but my friends seem to enjoy it and I've never heard any complaints. As for other beverages, they serve a wide array of italian sodas, hot chocolate, and delicious limeaid. The baked goods are also tasty. \n\nWhat draws me to the Gryphon is the connections I've made over the years. I've gotten to know tons of musicians over the years from the Monday night open mics, and the live music on Fridays and Saturdays. Everyone has been warm and inviting and maybe that's because the place is small. Sometimes you have to share tables with stranges which result in friendly conversations with old, and young alike. Looking to have a quieter conversation? Check out the room upstairs with a large table and some couches, perfect for if you're with a group. \n\nNow for the artwork, there's always something to look at. I'm not always a fan but hey am I supposed to like everything I see? I just appreciate that a place like the Gryphon is connecting artists, musicians, and consumers. It's a beautiful place to be.", "Reliable cafe in the center of Wayne with the cool name and even cooler spelling brews good quality coffee which may not be strong enough for the inveterate coffee lover, and I do find it weak. Usually stock excellent sugar brioche and limited but good selection of sweets. Bagels and savory sandwiches flesh out the menu so you can do cafe or lunch spot depending on the time. Pretty much the darling of the Wayne residents as the owner is very involved in the community.", "For those who haven't been to Wayne, it's adorable. Home to the original Anthropologie, Wayne has a central downtown area full of cute, probably overpriced shops, a lovely privately owned moviehouse, and the Gryphon Cafe, a coffee shop of the sort that this original Midwesterner misses. \n\nVery pretty decor with very strong coffee, a great list of teas, and excellent sandwich and soup options. Served on beautiful Polish blue floral china and mismatched mugs, the coffee was a great pick-me-up. The 1/2 soup- 1/2 sandwich combination is a perfect amount of food, served with housemade chips. I had the hummus sandwich, which is hummus that is decidedly housemade, and thus of the less garlicky, slightly runnier sort, but really good. Accompanied by cucumber, tomatoes, and arugula, it's a great sandwich on the whole grain bread. The soup I chose was the tomato-carrot, and it was fabulous. \n\nThe atmosphere is fun and easy-going, and the staff is extremely pleasant. It's also nice to be in a coffee shop with that much space and that little rush to move on." ]

The rolls are very good and satisfying to the point where you can easily pretty much stuff yourself if you don't have the willpower (and I don't). My favorites include the Akasaka Roll (spicy tuna and spice salmon topped with avocado), Lobster Roll and Spider Roll (soft shell crab, avocado & cucumber). Miso soup is decent. No eel for me. Good service.", "Been there for dinner a few times, always satisfied. Lunch buffet is from 11:30-3:00 and it's only $7.99 for all you can eat sushi. If you're skeptical about sushi or just picky, try the buffet out. It is an amazing restaurant altogether.", "What in the f.ckity f.ck f.ck is this place doing with four stars?\n\nFirst, they have an all you can eat lunch buffet which is awesome if you enjoy crab stick and tuna out of a can mixed with spicy sauce...\n\nPlease don't come here expecting awesome sushi...if you come here outside of the special lunch hour, you're paying full price which is stupidly expensive.", "This place is gross. It smells like rotting fish, the food is bland (and how can sushi be bland, i don't know, but they found a way to mess it up). I left here with a stomach ache the first time I tried the lunch buffet, and about 6 months later for some asinine reason my two friends and I decided to give it a second try, and all three of us left with an even bigger stomach ache. \n \nThe only reason i give it two stars is because its cheap and the decor is nice.", "If you're craving sushi.. and a lot of it... go for the lunch buffet. It's cheap and it's not bad. I'd give their lunch buffet sushi a 3.5 star rating and their regular sushi and food items from their menu a 4.5. It's a little more pricey, but you're getting what you pay for.", "Sushi was not very good at all. I ordered take out and when I got back to work, they didn't provide any soy sauce or a spoon for the soup. The only thing I was able to finish was my edamame. I honestly threw everything else out. The sushi was honestly terrible and had an odd smell to it. I'll give 1 star for friendly service. The second is for my own ignorance (any place that advertises '50% OFF SUSHI' as the largest writing on their sign deserves to be passes by. I know better now.", "It's not a fancy sushi place by any means but its cheap and can get you past a craving. The owners very nice and the staff is attentive and caring. Bathrooms are in serious need of some upgrades but the kitchen and prep areas seem to be clean!", "Yama is a great place to go for their lunch buffet. The sushi is pretty decent for price and the selection is pretty fantastic. Keep in mind, the parking isn't great during the lunch rush. Other than that, it is a sweet little restaurant with an attentive and helpful staff. I don't often partake in their dinner menu myself, but it isn't too bad either.", "It's really hard for me to give a restaurant a 1 star review, but this place was a total let down. I had been there before in the past and had a good experience, but this time I was left extremely disappointed. \nWhen I walked in the restaurant, the whole place is very dimly lit, especially the area of the sushi bar. The owner was there and he remembered who I was even though I hadn't been there in quite some time which was nice. \n I was handed the menu and immediately noticed that the prices for sushi were far more than reasonable with pieces starting at a dollar. I asked the waitress if there were any special fishes today, and she pointed me to the special rolls. I asked again what about special sushi fish, and she said they didn't have that. Not saying that a horrible thing but I typically just go for more simple fare. \nI then proceeded to give my order to the sushi chef behind the bar, ordering them by their Japanese names, which he didn't understand. I ordered 3 different sashimis, tuna, yellowtail and mackerel. What I got was tuna, salmon and mackerel, which was the items in the sashimi appetizer on the menu. The owner realized he made a mistake and gave me the salmon gratis, but I couldn't overlook the extremely thick cuts and strange taste to the fish. Not strange in an off or disgusting way, but I could tell the fish had been frozen, which is kind of sad. I then ordered some tamago sushi, and next thing I know they are microwave defrosting it behind the sushi bar. I was immediately met with disappointment when I bit into the tamago only to find that they hadn't defrosted it completely. I told the server about it and she offered to heat it up more, but I declined, asked for the check, regretfully paid and left.\nOn the whole, I would say my experience at Yama was a big disappointment and a bit depressing. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone nor will I return there myself.", "I love the sushi here, I never had a problem here!

[ "I freakin' love this place. The downtown location was a favorite of mine when I worked in that area, but now they have opened one in Brentwood, near the Chick-Fil-A. So, when I'm out there, I have more than one choice of places to eat! \n\nActually, they have had a Chile Burrito restaurant out there for probably over a year now, but they have just redone the entire strip mall (yes it's the 'burbs, of course it's in a strip mall!) so they have a nice shiny new place. \n\nThese are burritos to order--just like in the other location--so you pick the kind of tortilla, then choose what you want in it. Fresh ingredients, and lots of them! They also have salads if you don't want to go the burrito route. And cheese dip! And spicy, fresh salsas! \n\nThank you, Chile Burrito, for bringing fresh food in a non-chainy atmosphere to Brentwood!", "Chile Burrito may not be original but how many restaurants in this part of town are? They do offer a few things that other places don't. These include vegetarian tamales (these are a special and not listed on the menu but they do have them quite frequently), horchata, and an extremely good tomatillo salsa. It's the little things like these hard to find items that make me so happy.", "This is my favorite build-a-burrito type of restaurant. The closet competition in Nashville is probably Baja Burrito or Blue Coast Burrito. From what I understand, these two places are the same thing but when they are franchised they change the name, maybe? Either way, they have the exact same menu. (baja and blue coast)\n\nChile Burrito has the freshest ingredients of these types of restaurants. Specifically, I think that their chicken has the best flavor of any of these types of restaurants and the fruit tea is great! If you want to try something that might be a little healthier than I would suggest giving the burrito-in-a-bowl a try. It is pretty much all the fixings of a burrito without the tortilla.", "Though this place is no Taco Express (quod vide), I'd rather make the trip here than suffer through that far-overrated baja place on Thompson Lane. CB grills whole the burrito after building instead of steaming the tortilla beforehand, so it's warm and slightly crispy, not slimy and tepid like that other place. Make sure you are quick enough to say \"no cheese slice\" before he puts the cheese slice (triangle of muenster, wth?!) in your burrito. I think that's the non-mexican owner's input. Whatever you get, just ask the guy behind the glass how he likes it, and agree. This usually means onions and cilantro and hot sauce only. Ask for the green sauce, it's the best. Tuesdays are good for the fish taco special (ask for \"everything\" on it). The drinks include a good lemonade, a mild horchata, and some sort of fruit tea mixture. Jarritos are available from the cooler. Smiley-face cookies for dessert--never had em, but hey, they might be good. The downside to this place is that there's like three televisions so it's hard to find a not annoying place to sit.", "My favorite burrito place. They stopped serving fajita peppers which really put it over the top, but it's still great. They usually have brisket or pork which are both tremendous.", "Burrito snob here. In my burrito hierarchy, Chile Burrito ranks somewhere above average but not at the top. \n\nI like the burritos here. As much as I love tortillas, lately I have taken to cutting them out and opting for burrito bowls to save a few calories. While some places fall short in their burrito bowl offerings, Chile burrito still manages to put together quite a nice meal sans tortillas. Having said that, I've had several of the burritos longside tortillas and these were good.\n\nWhat I really like about Chile Burrito is that after you have constructed your hodgepodge of ingredients, they put the burrito on the grill for a final warm up before serving. I've yet to experience this anywhere else and it makes for a nice touch. \n\nSomething to note, the salsa here is pure fail. While they do have a pineapple salsa like baja burrito, it is a piss poor imitation. As for the other salsas, in general, they pale in comparison to other salsa's I have experienced. All in all, you don't really come her for the chips and salsa, you come for a cheap tex mex burrito which is slightly better than average.", "Let me preface this review with I LOVE Mexican food. We just moved to the area and I'm trying a bunch of places around town. This place is not good at all. I almost walked out right when I walked in. There is no atmosphere to speak of - it's just dark and feels dirty. I decided to get a burrito bowl with chicken, rice, beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, and guacamole. The guacamole was made prior to it's arrival at the restaurant; not fresh at all. I was disappointed in the overall lack of flavor in the entire dish. The customer service, or lack thereof, didn't help matters. Poor atmosphere, poor food, and poor customer service. Three strikes and this place is out.", "What Chile Burrito lacks in sophistication, placement, and style it makes up for in comatosing its intended victims. This is not my favorite burrito joint by far, but it is a decent contender.\n\nThe atmosphere is kind of depressing, but the food is decent, plentiful, and will knock you out and steal your socks if it doesn't particularly succeed in knocking your socks off.\n\nIt's not a place I would go out of my way to visit, unlike Blue Coast or Baja, but it is a decent Brentwood representation of the burrito joint in a strip mall. It's also one of the few places where ordering the largest burrito there means I am probably going to fail at the clean plate club.\n\nTheir chips and salsa - eh, they've been anywhere from MMM to Meh... averaging on ok...\n\nThe place itself was clean the first two times I went there and a mess another couple of times. So seems to be a crapshoot.\n\nSo, variable experience, I would not have gone back if the first two times had been like the last two, but nothing so far has been downright bad, just kind of rinky dinky.\n\nI will say, however, with how much I say this is not a bad place I cannot imagine it being people's favorite (couple of other reviews) with the options that are out there. Sort of like saying Costco has the best pizza in the world... well, yeah, it's good but that's sort of like you just gave up trying and settled for what was there.", "Excellent.\n\nI love their burritos. Compared to Moe's and Chipotle, Chili Burrito just somehow has a bit more flavor. I think it's the way they do their meats. The spices.\n\nI also appreciate they way they do their pricing. Instead of nickle and diming me for stuff like guacamole and sour cream, Chili Burrito just prices burritos by the size - small, medium, and large. Then I can pick any meat, any fillings, any sauces, any add-ons i want.\n\nThey have a large salsa bar that I really like as well - much larger than what Moe's has, for example.\n\nIt does fill up quickly for lunch on week-days, but they seat a lot of people, so go for it.", "Taco happiness\nCorn tortilla dilemma\nBut the fillings rock\n\nSolid taco spot. You need to specifically ask for the corn tortilla, as their go-to is the gringo style wheat tortilla. No disappointment in the fillings though. All fresh and fine. Grilled fish was a delicious one, but the chorizo was really standout. The salsa bar was a nice touch, as was the liberal use of cilantro. Only one disappointment, and that would be a decidedly watery horchata. \n\n\nCarry on." ]

New owner and new interior restaurant.\nMy family tried and all are satisfied with the sushi and friendly service.\nYou should not miss this place when you trip to Reno.\n\n.", "So, this is how it works. We like our places that we like. But we also like to try every new place soon after it opens. \n\nSo of course we have had our eye on Minato for a few weeks but hadn't gone in, We were worried that it was just a rebranding of the less than stellar sushi that had previously occupied this location. Being home only 6 days a month gives me a limited sushi schedule and makes me not so adventurous when I actually can have sushi. But on this day, we went the adventurous route, needing to decide between the new 168 Sushi place and Minato. Clearly we chose Minato, \"But why?\" you ask. I know you didn't ask, but I am still gonna tell you. We chose Minato because I recognized one of their chefs on their facebook page. Ok...that is a good sign, we headed down to check it out.\n\nIt wasn't busy at all, and normally this would worry me, but since they were newly opened, I waved off that concern. We were seated in an efficient and friendly way. Drinks were ordered with a frustrated sigh. Coke products. Bleh. Don't let the Pepsi cooler fool you, they serve Coke products. Mussels and pot stickers were ordered to be sampled. Both were good. Very similar to many places in town. We then ordered up a few rolls (Minato roll, Volcano Roll, and one similar to the golden gate and had a name like splendor roll) We also ordered up a couple hand rolls and the chefs were putting up stuff for us to try out. The one rough spot here was the nigiri. The yellow tail was just a touch under what I like, and the other nigiri wasn't really notable.\n The rolls were good, as was all of the special stuff that we that hadn't ordered. (We love that kind of service.) And the one MAJORLY awesome item was some sort of deep fried salmon chip thing. This is one thing I would return for. I haven't had it before.\n If speed is your concern, then I don't think you will have a problem here. The rolls come out quickly and held together fine.\n\nTotally looking forward heading back and seeing how smoothly things move as they get the kinks worked out.\n\nPricing is in line with the rest of Reno.

I know it's relatively new, but this place blew me away. \n\nI was a little concerned walking in, because the sign out front looked a little rough and there was hardly anyone inside, but my friend assured me that the sushi was good so I stuck around. \n\nFirst roll I ordered was the volcano roll, because it was something I was familiar with. It was good, but what has me hooked on this place are all the rolls with lemon in them. \n\nEverything comes out FAST. Service is amazing, the staff is friendly, and I might've mentioned this before, but the food is GREAT.\n\nAll the appetizers were the common stuff like muscles, miso soup, cucumber salad.... ect. The rolls included some familiars, but definitely were good quality and as I said, lightning fast coming out. The rolls stuck together fine (None of that crumbly junk). \n\nGive it a try, it's a great place and I hope it makes it despite how slow it was when I was in there!", "Much like Robert, I heard this place was open and wanted to check it out.\n\nThe place looked nicely cleaned up from Woo Chon, which was the previous sushi restaurant here.\n\nWe were the only two in there, on May 11th, for a late lunch/early dinner, around 4:30 in the afternoon. We were seated at the end of the bar, and I was a little surprised when I was greeted with a \"hello, my friend.\" Ends up, Gerson (formerly of Hiroba and the Joint) was one of the two sushi chefs that was working. I'd gotten to know Gerson when he was at Hiroba, and I'd seen him up at the Joint once before. \n\nHe remembered that I like pretty much anything that's not deep fried. Slow afternoon, so he made us some little sashimi cups from tuna and hamachi, that were filled with tobiko and topped with avacado. Definitely a nice start for me (the GF doesn't really like the raw stuff).\n\nSushi was solid - I'd say as good as Sushi Pier 1, and close to Hiroba, Joint, and Reef. Good nigiri, not too heavy-handed with the sauces as so many places tend to be these days, and great service. \n\nI may be biased since Gerson knows me, but whenever I've seen him interacting with other customers, he's got a smile on his face, and tends to be the kind of server who's making every effort to anticipate what you'll want next, and have it to you w/o your asking.\n\nGF liked that she had plenty of options for cooked items, and they weren't all just deep fried.\n\nKorean ownership, with a little bit of K-Pop playing in the background when we were there, for those who are curious.\n\nThis will be my go to choice for sushi if I'm on the south end of town.", "Sushi Minato is AWESOME!!!

I definitely liked my experience here much better than the other location. \n\nThe food: I enjoyed my Woodstock burger and my husband appeared to enjoy the special burger of the day. The menu is fairly small, but they are willing to work with you if you want something added/left off. Both of our burgers came out medium-well, which is how we usually like our burgers, but don't expect to be asked how you want your burger cooked like at the other location. We also had fried mac n cheese as an appetizer and it was crunchy fried,bacony,cheesy, artery clogging goodness.\n\nAtmosphere/Location - This space appears to be bigger and less crowded, not to mention parking is easy and won't take you an hour of circling around the neighborhood or hoping you won't get towed. My biggest problem(and fear) is the whole communal seating thing. There is lots of it. If I'm out with my husband I don't want to really be smushed together in the middle of a bunch of strangers. We didn't have to do that this time, but most of the main dining room seating looks that way so be prepared.\n\nService was great so no issues there.

They have 4 different sauces to try on the side of the table : mojo mild, some vinegar one, a sweet sauce, and hootchie kootchie which is the hot/spicy one. I didn't quite get into the other sauces except for the sweet one. The ribs didn't live up to the hype. The outer ribs were pretty charred and tough.

All friendly people. \n\nThe food is a 3, but I'm giving this place a 4 since the service was great.", "I don't know what Keith is talking about. The food here is barely edible. I ordered a sampler platter of pulled park, smoked sausage and ribs and it was all terrible. My dog enjoyed it, but he eats poop. The drinks were okay, and the service was friendly and attentive otherwise it would be a one-star rating.", "We ended up at RH&B almost by accident.\nFor a restaurant attached to a hotel I did not expect much but was very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is low key and a bit weird at time but the food is really good... Unbelievable ribs, hush puppies, etc...\nDefinitely recommend the place.", "Stopped in last night with Debbi Faye and Babs after a trip to Philly. We had been down around the University City section of Philly. It was rush hour, around 5:15 p.m., and I guess there were a few accidents as traffic was snarled and at a standstill. I made a few illegal turns, one at a sign saying \"Taxis only\" and another at a no left turn sign where I hung a left anyway. I went over a curb another time to reverse my course. The point is I was frazzled and happy to arrive at the Red Hot and Blue and to slug down a Sierra Nevada and a shot of Patron. \n\nI had the \"Ribwhich\" combo, that is a BBQ sandwich, I had the pulled pork, and two ribs of any kind on the menu, I had Sweet! I applied generous amounts of the red hot Hootchi Kootchi sauce to my sandwich, and my lips and mouth were soon pleasantly on fire! We shared an app of Chili Nachos. Debbi Faye had a small side salad and Babs had a grilled Chicken sandwich. All enjoyed their selections. Our waitress was a Pirate (Halloween) and really very good, and all of us thought she was sweet too! \n\nThey continue to play GREAT Blues music and had a band called Voo Doo starting at 8p.m.. They were starting to warm up while we were there. The drums can be a little loud in such a small place so keep that in mind if you're going there to eat on a Fri or Sat night.", "I have a rule for myself : If people tell me that a place is good and I don't enjoy it I'll try it two more times before giving up on it. Well I've finally given up on this place. I've been here three times for lunch and have yet to have a decent meal. Once I would swear my brisket was microwaved - it was oddly colored and definitely heated unevenly. I can't believe all the positive buzz that it gets. \n\nThe only thing I can figure is that at night while everyone is drinking and enjoying the music they don't realize how bad the food is. With so many good BBQ joints in the area bar and entertainment have to be their only saving grace.", "If I was able to rate this restaurant zero stars I would have. While the service was not awful, the food was atrocious!!! We kept noticing that nobody had touched their food at the tables around us. It was strange to see SO much food wasted but we were staying at the adjoining Holiday Inn hotel so we decided to give it a try. Major FAIL!!!\n\nA group of 6 of us came here for breakfast and were not pleased. The french toast was actually a sliced and microwaved honey bun, the fruit looked like it was days old, the orange juice was bitter and the rest of the food was beyond bland with no trace of the slightest bit of seasoning. \n\nDue to the fact that nobody touched their food the mgmt comped our entire meal... which was a great thing because we would've been better tossing all that money down a drain... the food was awful!!!\n\nI would not recommend eating at this place under any circumstance. There are a bunch of options across the street from this place... don't go here!", "Good thing i got a burger. Usually you can't mess that up. This restaurant skeeved me out. This isnt good old Memphis bbq...its some weird restaurant in a hotel. We ordered nachos with cheese (disgusting), chili (disgusting), pulled chicken (disgusting) so the only thing that was ok was my burger. THe only reason i went here was because i had a gift certificate, otherwise this place isnt worth and i will never return.", "Decided to stop in last weekend to try out the BBQ. First clue should have been only two tables were occupied and a few people sitting at the bar alone. Located inside a discount highway motel. Place gives off a very creepy vibe inside and out. Despite the lack of customers, the service was notably slow, as the waitresses were socializing with each other and what appeared to be a few barfly regulars. Servers appeared to be all high school students, but less mature.\n\nAmong other things we tried the ribs and the wings. Reminded me of something one would buy at Costco and defrost to serve.\n\nSince we were trying to get out of this creepy joint, we needed to request a finally request a check when we could find the waitress. She dramatically overcharged us and upon bringing this to her attention, ran away and sent the \"manager\" to us. This kid wanted to engage in combat. Poor attitude and ready to argue. Never saw the waitress again. \n\nSave yourself the trouble and go to Costco, if you want to defrost frozen food so you dont have to deal with the attitude here. No wonder it was so empty." ]

This little restaurant comes up as in \"Downingtown\", but it is in the heart of Eagle, PA.\n\nI've eaten pizza and hoagies from here, but by far the best items from their menu are their strombolis. Delicious. \n\nTheir staff is always super friendly and fast despite the place always being real crowded every night. I've never dined in, so I can't attest to the service, but I cannot imagine it being poor.", "Great place to pick up lunch or dinner. Strombolis are great, as are their sandwiches and pizzas. Protein platters are a great option as well if you are watching what your eating.\n\nAlso just started serving breakfast, so I can't wait to try that as the next hangover cure!!", "Great pizza for a small town.", "I stopped here on my way to the highway after singing a wedding in Honeybrook, PA - I was so happy to see civilization after driving on winding, tree-surrounded roads for 25 minutes that I couldn't help but stop for a slice!\n\nThis seemed like somewhat of a mom and pop type of place - you had the choice of sitting in or taking out. I ordered a slice and grabbed a bag of chips. I decided to run to the restroom (very clean, btw) while they were heating up my slice and it was ready by the time I came out. I picked a booth and the gentleman who was working as the \"server\" that night brought it over to me. He was nice but got a little too close for comfort!!\n\nIf you are ever in the area, try out the ricotta and tomato slice - I had to stop myself from ordering 3 more after I had finished mine! Great place to grab a quick bite!", "This use to be a reliable place for sandwiches but the last two were not good at all. Cheesesteak was light on the meat. There are so many good rolls to pick from in the Philly area but this roll was one of the worst and stale.\n\nHopefully it was just an off night. I'll try again but not for awhile.", "When we first moved to Chester Springs, one of my co-workers suggested Carmine's. It has been our go-to place since then. The pizza is great (but sometimes the veggies are undercooked). They will make any combination you ask for. The tomato pie is on par with Corropolese. Completely different, but just as good. Being from the Norristown area, I have never had hot tomato pie, but it is very good, hot or cold. We have even had our non-Philly native friends and family eat it and they love it too (these are people who usually put cheese on tomato pie and heat it up in the microwave), so that's high praise.\n\nThe people are always super friendly and helpful.", "I'm a fan! This is a nice little place with good food and friendly staff. The process for ordering was a little strange for us the first time we came, because the order process is the same if you're getting food to go or you're staying to dine in, but once you learn the process, it's all good!\n\nLast night we had the Carmine's Special pizza. A nice pie with plentiful toppings, a good sauce, and excellent crust. Also enjoyed a dinner salad that was excellent.\n\nThis place is family owned and really nice people. The first time we came, one of the owners (the wife) stopped by the table and chatted with us. Asked us if we ever had their cheesy bread and then brought us some to try. Very nice folks. After the first night, we thought we'd love to come back more often. I think we said that again last night!\n\nThis place is family friendly. The food is good. The kind of place that deserves your business. We've only been a couple of times, but we'll be back. Haven't been disappointed with anything we've ordered. Give them a try", "Pizza is ok, but a little on the salty side., garlic sticks are really good and are a feeling meal alone. Never tried any other items based on the simple fact I felt the menu was a tad on the pricey side. Also, from what I have noticed the portions are not that big. The staff is very nice and the place is very clean. However, they do have a guy on the wait staff who often gets a little to close for comfort, but he is harmless.", "Its a shame, over the years the value for what you get has gone down. Seems that speed over value is taking over. Food has moved down to just OK. The cheese steaks used to be packed with meat. Now just stop in when its convenient.", "It's an area landmark, with good food and reasonable prices. I've never had a bad meal here, but the pizzas are pretty special. The chicken cheesesteak with Jalapeno is also pretty special. Good food, good service. No complaints." ]

[ "The owners of Hotel Congress have just recently opened up this great restaurant and market located in the Historic Depot. They buy food locally when they can to serve in the restaurant & sell it in the market. The interior is beautifully restored! I really felt like I was taken to another place in time! I had a great lunch and the best soy latte I've ever had! A great addition to Tucson's growing downtown!", "My friend and I went to Maynards one day, sort of by accident, and was totally impressed by the staff and food. They not only do a great lunch menu but have a dinner menu as well. Ambiance is very nice for an old railroad station. The following Sunday we also went to their french wine tasting and was blown away by the whole experience. This place is definitely a keeper and I am so glad that they have opened their doors. I plan on being a frequent and long time patron.", "I seem to laugh every time someone calls this place \"My Nards.\" Its \"disdigg,\" arrogant quality just doesn't get old. \"We should go over to My Nards,\" etc. But it's true, we should. And do.\n\nThis place appears to be the area's new favorite bar to get pre and/or post-show drinks when going to the Rialto or Congress (especially if you're in the mood for a change from Congress' lobby/Tap Room or The District). I haven't tried the food, but the bar's cocktails are fantastic and the market's sandwiches are simple, ready-to-eat and affordable (I do wish they'd ease up on the mayo, though, it makes an otherwise nice, light sandwich a total fatty boomba pig-out). There's tons of wine in there, too.\n\nIf you're a fan of fresh basil, definitely hit the bar to try the Caprese martini. It's like a little boozey salad in a glass, all pretty and garnished with basil, cheese and tomato. They even drizzle the glass with balsamic tastiness. So creative.\n\nIf you're scared of parking downtown, it's really not a hassle. The free gravel lot just eastish of the 6th Avenue underpass pretty much always has space and is a 30 second walk from Maynards and Hotel Congress. It's reassuring that there's always cops hanging out in their cars right across the street, keeping a watchful eye on the area's activities.\n\nGet downtown! It looks like there's some kinks to work out in this new place, but hopefully it'll stick around and flourish -- it's helping keep our city's interesting little heart beating.", "Maynards is not a typical Tucson type of place. The drinks, food, and prices are evocative of more metropolitan locales, but that is not a bad thing. We came in early on a Sunday, to be honest, I tried it because of the Yelp reviews, and only because of the Yelp reviews. Caprese Martini, you had me at hello. The bartender was a little rough at first, messing up our orders a couple times, but that is because we were the first \"real\" customers of the night (the other people at the bar, being from the Hotel Congress family). Turns out, he was just getting warmed up. Later, I saw him making a Bloody Mary for another customer. This man has the gift of the drink. I like a bartender who improvises and makes the drink his own. Wow, that is all I can say. We had some mussels and fries. Mussels were in a beer and dijon mustard broth, interesting. Mussels were a little over done. Broth, yum! And the fries came with a garlic mayo. Ummm, if all I could eat for the rest of my life was this garlic mayo, I would probably be happy. Nice atmosphere inside and out, with the whole train depot thing lovingly restored.", "This place is VERY good. Would have gotten 5 stars, but there were some miscues with the service. \n\nWhen we went they had what they were calling their \"Gem Show\" menu which had an assortment if apps, salads, soups, pizzas and 4 entrees. \n\nOur group had one of each entree. The fish was was the least popular, but the half chicken, braised rib and fried gnochi, we all delicious. \n\nThe atmosphere was very cool. We'll certainly go back.", "I was in town working and visiting a friend and Maynards was within walking distance from her home. We went twice in the 4 days I was in town. Once for cocktails and once for dinner. We sat outside both times, so I cannot comment on the interior. Both visits were a pleasure. The train and the trees and the overall feel of the outdoor patio is terrific! A really perfect place to hang out on a warm Tucson night.\n\nWe had the cheese plate and two salads for our meal. Eveything was delicious. I tried the caprese martini....totally out of this world! Service was good. We were able to bring our four legged friend, Blue who sat under our table and gnawed on his leash...sorry we couldn't spare some chedder with port, Blue! Then another dog showed up and we had a few moments of really fun playtime with her. The wait staff all came out to watch and we all had a good laugh at the romping puppies. Loved it!\n\nCan't wait for my next visit...", "This place is too pricey for me. You might be able to get a group of buddies to buy a pizza, that's good but $30 for steak? Forget it.", "This place is awesome for drinks... we didnt try any food but seriously one of the best lattes I've ever had anywhere-- locally roasted beans and just perfect! I was staying at the Congress and coming over for the lattes & didn't realize they had cool cocktails until a day before we left so we were only able to try a couple BUT if you like interesting drinks, you have to check it out! The Caprese Martini is awesome... its vodka muddled with basil with a balsamic reduction on 1/2 the rim and a skewer of mozzarella/tomato and basil... theres also a cool whisky muddled with blackberries thats great... can't remember the name of that one though... Prices were high for Tucson BUT cheap for cocktails like these.. I want to say about $8 each... really worth checking out if you can!", "A welcome addition to downtown. I love the bar! The oysters and french fries are so good. Fun drinks nice bartenders great atmosphere. \n\nVery cute wonderful little market too! Great place for partys, on the patio, went to a great event on the patio!", "I really hate to do this. Every time I have been to Maynards, I have enjoyed the drinks and the food. However, my birthday was almost ruined and I have decided that they have become complacent, lazy, and living off the good hype. We had reservations at 8:00 for an outside table. Early in the day, I found out there was going to be some drum and bass DJs playing inside and out. My husband called the restaurant and asked them if this was going to affect dinner. They acted like it was no big deal and nothing to worry about. We get there, and I took one look at the \"patio\" seating. Some homeless people are loafing around, the DJ is setting up including saying \"check, check\" over and over into the speakers surrounding the patio. There is no ambience whatsoever outside. It seriously looks like a place you would just sit while waiting for your train. All the tables are filled except for one, squarely in the middle. We ask to please have a table inside, that we can even wait for one, and we are told no, they are all booked. I am pretty bummed at this point, but determined to not let it ruin the evening. We sit outside and wait for 15, count them 15 minutes where no one even comes to our table. We are just sitting there like idiots. I had decided what I wanted to eat at that point, and I was looking around at the other tables, some of them looked pretty annoyed with the whole experience too. I was borderline angry and decided it was not worth it to be treated this way for my birthday dinner. We told the hostess no one had ever come to our table and we were leaving. She didn't even apologize or convince us to stay. What kind of place treats their customers this way! Not a place where I want to spend my money. Maynards, seriously, if you want to be a restaurant you should know that you can't treat the customers the same way you treat them at Hotel Congress. After we left, we went to Jax and had an excellent dinner and dropped nearly $100." ]

It's out of the way enough that most of the customers are locals.", "If you're headed to Starbucks definitely keep going and head straight to Henry's! It's located in the same spot where Vic's once was.\n\nThe coffee is better, costs less, and the food portions are generous for the price. They have a pretty broad menu, but they'll make salads to order. The paninis are yummy, and there's homemade soups in the winter and fruit smoothies in summer. \n\nCan't forget to mention the staff, who are always great, always friendly -- no matter how early in the a.m.! \n\nAs for atmosphere, it's how I'd love my living room to be -- open, very comfy yet modern living. Relaxing sums it up best (I've seen more than a few people 'resting their eyes' while their order was prepped!) Cream walls, oversized comfy overstuffed chairs, plenty of seating (and tables set with cloth tablecloths and organicly-styled centerpieces -- how's that for attention to detail!). \n\nOther pluses: wi-fi (plenty of lap-top totting patrons!) and a range of people with varied backgrounds and ages -- gay, straight, young and old.", "a great place to hang outside or inside\ngreat coffee, great desserts, very nice staff\ni think free internet too", "I agree with all other reviews of this place and have nothing to add except:\n\nKeywords: study cafe\n\nThere.

I wouldn't really change a thing about this place. I came in from Chicago and needed a place to hang out for a few hours. A very pleasant spot to eat, drink coffee, and work. Soothing lighting, table cloths, and amazingly, a classical station playing on the radio. I actually got a salad here which was quite good but most other people were drinking coffee. Seemed to be lots of regulars coming in and talking to the super friendly owner. I must say it's nice to go to a place like this and not feel like I'm being looked down upon by the too cool for school 23 year old barista behind the counter who insists on blasting their flavor of music, everyone else's ears be damned.", "Great local coffee shop. Small but nice selection of teas. Good food (standard cafe variety from what I could tell). Great layout. Wonderful, warm service. Plenty of outlets to let you enjoy the free wireless.\n\nNo real cautionary notes on this place.

This is a perfectly nice cafe. I had been here a few times when I lived in Indy in 2007, but only remembered it about two months after moving back. Maybe that's why Henry's doesn't quite grab four stars. There's nothing that really jumps out here for me. \n\nHenry's is situated in a really cute storefront and they use their space well, providing ample table seating and a few stuffed leather chairs. The patio out front is really pleasant in the summer. The coffee is quite good. The muffins are delicious and taste like they are homemade. I guess I don't love the atmosphere because it has a kind of Pottery-Barn-suburban-upscale vibe to it, cheesy artwork and all. I prefer my coffeeshops a bit edgier. However, Henry's does have its niche and I'll definitely be stopping by more now that I remembered it's there.", "Henry's is an excellent coffee shop in downtown. It's across the street from my building, so I visit frequently. As a student, I LOVE LOVE LOVE that they have tons of outlets and free WiFi. Good chai tea latte and the one time I had lunch there, that was okay, too. Great atmosphere - there are always groups in there chatting and having a good time. Exactly the sort of Starbucks-alternative hipsters are looking for :)", "Henry's deserves an upgrade now that I'm addicted to their muffins. Something about the texture just drives me crazy. They are a bit crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. That exterior crunch is what really keeps me stopping by the East St. cafe even when I don't plan to. Most coffeehouses seem to serve overly large, gooey, super-sweet muffins. Don't get me wrong, Henry's are sweet, but there's lots of other flavor packed in there. For example, they use real, tart cranberries in their cranberry muffins. The new \"sunshine muffins\" are cinnamon-y, nutmeg-y, raisin-y goodness. I never thought I'd become a muffin junkie, but here we are.", "Great coffee. Great food. Great atmosphere. Free wireless internet. Indoor and outdoor seating. Dog-friendly. Good clientèle.

However, service kind of sucked and it was a lil dirty. My 2stars are going to the patrons who told us more about the restaurant than the counter girl. They were out of lemonade. She point blank told me the tea containers were probably empty but never offered to fill them up. I should have bought a water and been done with it.

I have eaten multiple times at the Daily Bread and have yet to have an enjoyable experience. The food is so-so at best. Their sandwiches are basic and lack any real flavor. I also tried the BBQ Chicken pizza and it was okay. \n\nI certainly wouldn't steer anyone away from this place based on the food. The food is basic and simple, not bad but also nothing great.\n\nMy biggest qualm with the Daily Bread is the service. The majority of the workers seem utterly uninterested in helping out. There was a line of about 6 people and one person at the register. There was no sense of urgency to help any of the customers in line. We waited for a good 5-6 minutes to put an order in. After receiving our cups to get our drinks we looked for a clean place to sit and eventually settled on a table top that was the least dirty of the tables available. There were plenty of open spots but it just appeared as though there was lots of trash left behind. Does anyone bus these tables?\n\nI anticipate that people are responsible for cleaning up after themselves, but it appeared as though the tables hadn't been effectively cleaned in a while. There was also some trash on the floor that hadn't been addressed as well.\n\nThe order number was called and the order was only halfway completed. When we asked which sandwich was ours, we were basically ignored as the girl put up two more orders. After another few minutes the rest of the order came up and we began to eat. I tried both items and as I stated before, both were okay. The problem is that the food was just unable to make up for the lack of organization, the slow speed at which we were served, or the cleanliness of the restaurant.\n\nAfter 3 attempts, I'm writing the Daily Bread off and won't return. I'd rather go to St. Louis Bread Co, get the same level of food, but in a clean environment and a timely setting.", "This review falls somewhere around 2.75 stars:\nI walked into the Daily Bread (first of all, can we analyze this biblical name? sounds a little funny to me...a little suspicious. Is my money going in support of a certain man that was born on a certain day of the year, that same day when a certain fat man dresses up in a red suit and bestoes presents upon cute children around the richer parts of the globe?)\nI walked into the Daily Bread because I had to teach at a nearby location super early in the morning, and 'great', they were open. I desperately needed a quick espresso and protein/carb combination to activate my glucose levels.\nLooking around, the Daily Bread is a pretty sterile and unimaginative environment. Standard ordering counter, pine tables scattered about, and a pastry counter. Looking around in my blinking, bleary-eyed state, I notice so many men in business suits. SO many men in business suits-- and they all seem to know each other. John is friends with Sam who is colleagues with Jim that used to live next door to Steve who stood in line with Jeff at the conferance last weekend that claimed knowledge of his friend Mike...\nSo many suits I'd forgotten there were people who did business in this world.\nThank goodness there are people fueling this economy besides my student loan transactions...\nMy espresso was a straight shooter-- strong, complex and creamy.\nMy egg and cheese sandwich was a bit of a mix:\nDelicious (and of course daily) bread.\nScrambled egg nice and fluffy\nCheese was cold and unmelted.\nAfter reading a portion of the Post Dispatch and glancing around at all these suits, I felt like going to the next meeting of the Masonic temple but apparently you have to be in a secret society to find out about those.\nI guess I'll keep at my regular job until one of them approaches me...\nIt will probably be many egg sandwiches from now...", "I really like the Daily Bread. They have interesting sandwiches and salads that appeal to me (as a vegetarian). For example, Bread Co has no sandwiches I really like. Daily Bread has the best veggie sandwich in St. Louis, in my opinion. The sauce is delish! I usually get mine on French sliced bread, as their baguettes tend to be hard. They have several vegetarian salads, different soups, breakfast items, and of course, bakery items. I enjoy their cookies (chocolate chip) and smoothies. \n\nMy favorite part is that they have seasonal sandwiches and salads. Right now, their summer salad is to die for! Strawberries, blueberries, goat cheese, candied walnuts, and poppyseed dressing. It is so fresh and the berries taste perfect. There is a southwest veggie sandwich that comes in a pita that is also delicious. I highly recommend getting a side of poppyseed dressing and adding it to the pita pocket. It takes it over the top! \n\nOverall, a great place for lunch/brunch fare. They also have pizzas (which are good!) and a kid's menu. Outdoor seating. I prefer their menu to Bread Co!", "Daily Bread is practically across the street from us and we have eaten there countless times and had take out countless more...a few years back we were over there 3 times a week. So with that said, the good parts are the baked goods, especially the cookies. And the food for the most part is very good....great bread, seasonal salads, and soups. \n\nThe problems is that too frequently the service is awful and the cafe can be just plain dirty. Tonight was a perfect example of \"that...they close at 8 and we got there about 7. There were several people standing around behind the counter chatting and although the person who took the order was friendly enough she clearly wanted to get back to chatting with her coworkers. \nWhen our order came out, I didn't even recognize it as what I had ordered....same with the soup. Disappointed we walked to a booth and couldn't find a clean one. I was ready to just walk out but instead walked back to the counter, told them about the sandwich....they remade it. \n\nI told them they could have the soup back and I asked if they would clean off one table for us. Without so much as an apology, someone came out, wiped off one table, left the rest of the mess and hurried back to chat. It will be a while before I venture back....too bad." ]

Love the \"build your own hash\" section. The food was amazing, and served in a timely manner. The best outdoor patio in the area to enjoy the Santa Barbara weather for breakfast brunch and lunch.", "Move over Cajun Kitchen and Jeannine's, there is a new breakfast spot in town. \n\nDawn Patrol is bringing the vibes and quality of an LA or SF breakfast spot to Santa Barbara. \n\nCompletely new, you walk into Dawn Patrol and order your breakfast at the counter. My fiancée and I both built our own hash, straying away from our normal high sugar breakfasts. After ordering we moved over to comfortable seats on the patio with our cute hula dancer figurine to identify our order. \n\nImmediately we were offered water and ensured our breakfast would be arriving shortly. \n\nI had the sage sausage with an egg over easy which was cooked perfectly. The egg mixed with the hash browns and sausage were the perfect combination of deliciousness.\n\nThe lady had an egg over easy mixed with shredded chicken and salsa which was excellent and surprisingly healthy. The portion size was on point (too big for her, but exactly what I would need). The egg oozing into chicken and salsa tasted like heaven in our mouths. \n\nPrices were as to be expected in Santa Barbara, but the quality far surpasses what you can normally get anywhere else. \n\nHighly recommended, don't forget a mimosa to top off an epic breakfast. \n\nPS make sure to check out the tile in the bathrooms!", "A very delicious alternative breakfast! I had the Build a Hash with sweet potatoes, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, salsa and poached eggs. My wife tried the Prisoner Egg Muffin, which is essentially a poached egg baked inside a corn muffin. All so good. Hot and tasty. A new favorite!", "We just ate brunch at Dawn Patrol on State street. We stumbled on this place walking to the beach, they have Fresh baked huckleberry scones it was amaging!!!!\nMy husband had the build your Own hash with Salmon ruset potato veggies poached eggs onions and salsa. i had the chicken hash One of the best hash i've ever had.

Gluten free pancakes: delicious and filling with LOADS of fresh, juicy berries on top. Pump smoothie: super yummy and unique smoothie, shared with the kids and they loved it. Overall this place was HIGH CLASS, decor was rich and every detail chosen with care and a discerning eye. Staff was friendly and outgoing. Really hope to see the community embrace this awesome new business.", "This place is amazing. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. It's counter ordering so order and sit outside for some fresh. I made my own hash and it was filling and delicious. I also ordered a half order of buttermilk pancakes which were also amazing.", "The food here is so good, I had the gluten free pancakes and they were so amazing they didn't even taste gluten free! I like the atmosphere of the place it's very progressive and unique as well. I will definitely eat here again!", "This is a nice breakfast spot that just opened a few weeks ago. Husband's hash was tasty. He picked sweet potato hash with bacon, mushroom, and cheddar, topped with two perfectly poached eggs and buttery hollandaise sauce. I wasn't too happy with my choice and wished I had gone with the hash. The prisoner's egg muffin was Dawn Patrol's take on the rebel within. A soft boil egg baked inside a savory muffin. Its one of those dish that requires very precise cooking time so the muffin is done while the egg yolk remains runny. Unfortunately, the egg was a little overdone as part of the yolk was set. In addition, it was baked ahead of the time and given the nature of this muffin, it can't be reheated, so it was also served cold. The accompany salad was drenched in lemon juice and unpalatable. The side of sausage was pretty skimpy too. It was $4 for one sausage patty. Service was friendly, but the servers were inexperienced and awkward. This place still needs some tweaking, but I would go there for the customizable hash.", "People are very friendly. The food is delicious and made with fresh products. The service is very slow though.", "Was surprised to find Beach Break Cafe gone but pleasantly surprised by this new place. Cool looking decor and very welcoming. Super friendly people. A little pricey but not surprising for SB. Food is good and fresh. A bit slow on service but seems like they are still getting in their groove having just opened. Definitely coming back!

[ "Yay! I discovered another great steakhouse this past weekend, and I'm already craving it again.\nI went to Fleming's with some friends and had a great, great dinner and conversation. (I can't guarantee the conversation you have will be as good as ours, but I can bet the food will be!)\nWe started with drinks. I had a Fuzzy Navel, not too strong, not too weak. Just how I like it. We also ordered something I'd NEVER seen before: portobello steak fries...which were awesome.\nFor dinner, I ordered a petite filet medium well, and it was delivered steamy, juicy, and cooked to order...which is so many times not the case. I got the shoestring potatoes, which are like skinny, crunchy, yummy, salty and peppery french fries. Mmm. They were a perfect side item to the steak, which was a bit peppery in taste as well.\nWe talked for so long and never felt rushed. Just when we thought we might leave, our food had \"settled\" just enough to order a couple desserts to share. I could've eaten the molten lava chocolate cake myself ... anyone who knows me knows I order this EVERY TIME it's on the menu. I absolutely love it. This was a bit different, with pistachio chunks on the plate as well. I didn't care for that. I like my cake with not much else other than chocolate. \nHIGHLY recommend this place. Very good indeed.", "Man, I give a lot of 4 star reviews.\n\nThis review is of the bar and desserts only. I can't afford to eat here for dinner haha.\n\nI like it when a server can fly by the seat of their pants and bring you a drink. I couldn't make a decision about a drink (mostly because I was already a little loaded) so I said \"bring me some flavor of martini\". Now, the gal went the safe route and brought me a lemon drop martini, but at least she didn't balk. Some servers are like \"well, what do you like?\". If I was picky, I'd order something specific!\n\nWe ordered the fresh berries and the peanut butter pie for dessert and both were AWESOME. The pie says \"for two\" and they aren't kidding! There were 4 of us nibbling on that bad boy and we still only ate 3/4 of it. It was super rich and decadent. The berries were firm, tasty and the cream sauce wasn't too overpowering.\n\nI will say the place was seriously busy so that might be an indication of the food/service besides in the bar. If we're in that neighborhood and have cash to spend, we'll stop back in.", "A small primer on Steakhouses:\n\n- Manly Man and Traditional = big everything, a bar that is made for being seen and picking up. Old pictures or autographed pictures of celebrities.\n\n- Girlie Steakhouse = white linen and stuffed chairs, flowers and perhaps even, God forbid: plush carpet.\n\n- Middle of the Road = a little of all of the above - not too manly, not to girlie, dimly lit, adequate bar, no flowers, maybe a football but you can also buy a size small t-shirt.\n\nIn Indianapolis St. Elmo's is the quintessential Traditional steak house (get the shrimp cocktail). Sullivan's is the Manly Man steakhouse. They even have bulldogs on their cigar ash trays in the bar. Eddie Merlot's is the Girlie steakhouse (and there's nothing wrong with that). \n\nShula's, Ruth's Chris and Fleming's all fall into the Middle of the Road category. Which is a bit of a problem from the start. Really, when it comes to Steak Houses let's not try to be all things to all people. But, having been there on several occasions, Fleming's actually does fit the bill for a nice business dinner with a diverse group. So for this evening's dinner, Fleming's it was.\n\nIt's funny how the economy which has slowed everything down and especially the restaurants seems to have adversely affected service. It's inverse logic that a half empty restaurant equals less than expected and less than normal service. But that was the case on this evening. I think our server was new but nonetheless, the manager should have made accommodations and kept a closer eye on the proceedings of the evening. In all seriousness, our server was fine, but the service was a little off and it wasn't the servers fault - which makes perfect sense to me. \n\nThe drink orders were uncoordinated, ultimately mixed up and the martinis were a little short. The food was very good but not outstanding. The Ahi was slightly less fresh than expected. Finally, the biggest distraction of the evening was that the tables are too small and 4 people, each with an alacarte order is downright dangerous. Even the server commented that the tables were a little too small.\n\nI'll go back to Fleming's probably before I go to Ruth's or Shula's. But they were definitely having an off night last night.\n\nThe Patz and Hall Pinot was incredible however.", "We went here for V-day and food was good, but what I saw was NOT I saw someone at the bar (who worked there) pour a glass of wine BACK into a bottle (not sure if it was a new drink or.....) but that's just something I don't want to see at a nice restaurant .....that's just me", "My wife's favorite steakhouse in Indy. I prefer Moe's downtown for a classic steakhouse atmosphere and better service, but Fleming's is the best chain steakhouse I've been too. The atmosphere is upscale but casual, which is a welcome attribute considering i just want to eat good food, not don my Sunday's best to go out to eat. The food is excellent. Sides are enormous. Sunday 3 course Prime Rib is a ridiculously good deal. Great drink menu in addition to great wine list. The service USED to be exceptional. They USED to have team service, swoop in to great you, order drinks, order appetizers, refill drinks, ask if you want more drinks, clear plates, etc. The last two times we have gone NONE of this was the case. I hope the manager is reading this because I really want to change my review to 5 stars, and honestly 3 strikes and you're out no matter how much I want to come back, so next time is going to cinch the deal. I'm teetering on a 4 star but based on the lackluster service, I'm forced to give it 3 stars for now. Will return soon and revisit rating.", "4.5 stars. I have to say the steak is delicious here. I ordered the calamari, which is why it got a deduction. I thought the calamari was a tad too saucy and the aroma of the peperoncinis were too strong, made me kind of cough from the smell. They also serve bread which I really like the butter/cheese spread it came with. The steak came out how I like it with a nice little burnt crust with lots of flavor and not too chewy meat. Service was great and the atmosphere was relaxing. I would definitely recommend this place to others. It's a great place for social groups, business dinners and dates.", "Flemings is great! I've been there twice and neither time have been disappointing. I really enjoy the calamari; it's really good especially with the banana peppers and red peppers that are sauteed with the dish. They are a great compliment to the calamari and really enhances the flavor. I've orderd the filet both times and both times it turned out great. The lobster is also perfectly cooked, and one lobster tail is really filling. The lava cake is amazing!!! The chocolate cake was perfect and coupled with the homemade chantilly cream it was perfect!\n\nThe service was excellent the first time; our waitress would cut our lobster tail for us and would be very attentive. Tonight, our server was good, but not as great as the first time. Overall, I've always felt welcomed at the restaurant and have really enjoyed the experience. It's definitely highly recommended.\n\nThe restaurant is also a wine bar, so there are many selections to choose from. I actually got the Mango Spice Martini, and it was awesome! The mango puree in the martini is soo yummy and tastes like fresh mangoes. it's awesome :)", "Fleming's steakhouse is an extremely upscale restaurant with a fantastic, dimly lit atmosphere that is perfect for celebrating a special occasion. They have a wonderful selection of premium martinis, and fine wines along with a full bar. The wait staff is very attentive, and great at pampering you with wonderful starter bread, and constant attention especially when it comes to filling drinks.\n\nUnfortunately, these things do not make up for the overpriced and uninventive nature that is Fleming's. The food was all very good. We began with Calamari that had an asian fusion twist with peppers and sweet sauce. The flavour was very good; however, the sauce had made then soggy, and I like my Calamari crunchy. Next was the blue cheese wedge, which was very traditional, and good, filled with chunks of blue cheese (and no bacon, which I was happy about). Our steaks were tasty, and pretty tender (could have been more flavorful), and because everything is a la carte we shared some creamed spinach, which was good.\n\nMy conclusion is that everything was good, but between the five of us we ordered six drinks, and normal meals and it was 70 dollars plus tip per person. For that kind of money I was expecting a memorable, life altering meal. While everything was tasty it certainly wasn't the best meal I have ever had. My recommendations are either Sullivan's (just west of Fleming's) for a similar, traditional steak meal or 14 West (downtown) for something that you can't make at home, and you've never had (Lobster mashed potatoes).", "Great HAPPY HOUR! We've been to the bar several times lately for the 5 for $6 til 7 happy hour specials. What a great deal! the burger is fabulous (one of the best you'll find anywhere) as are the Carpaccio and seared Ahi appetizers. At $6 each, how can you complain?", "Unfortunately, for me, Flemings fell flat in a most forgettable experience. I haven't been back since cause a dinner that should have taken an hour, lasted two and half painful hours. The drinks were good, but that was as far as it went. The server should have taken a clue from the fact that we barely ate half of our fillets that they were just not good. Should have went to Sullivan's but I wanted to try someplace new, and this was before I discovered Yelp... was learning the hard way. Sigh." ]

[ "I'm not going to lie. I've been excited this place opening up since I saw the \"coming soon\" banner hanging. \n\n1. I'm a California native and I love good Mexican food.\n2. It's just a few blocks from my house. Did I mention I love good Mexican food?\n\nLots to love here. Outdoor seating that will be great later this summer and into the fall. A nice, hip vibe inside with an attentive wait staff. I had the quesadilla and some churros since I wasn't super hungry. While the quesadilla was just decent (lots of meat, but not quite enough queso), the churros were really good. Jarritos to drink because, well ... Mexican! Glad to see horchata was on the menu too, and already made a note to try it out next time I'm here. Rest assured, there will be a next time. Lastly, I was encouraged to see that the owner, Erick, and most/all of the staff are Latino. Call me biased if you want, but I'm one white guy who prefers not to see white people in the kitchen trying to cook up Mexican food. Let the experts do it. Anyway, if you're in Fall Creek Place and Loco is open, you should definitely stop by.", "First night open to the public did not disappoint! Service was quick when we arrived at 5:15pm for dinner. The space has really transformed into a colorful space with plenty of TV to watch the World Cup. \n\nWhat to expect? Average Tex-Mex. Drinks that are pretty decent for $8. We had the prickly pear margarita and a Paloma. Guzzled then down from their tiki (yes, tiki) glasses. \n\nWe had the enchiladas cilantro and chili Colorado. Both came with rice and beans. Fiancé says he'd try something different next time since the chili was just alright. The enchiladas were decent. Reminds me of La Piedad but better. Big menu, not just tacos as I feel the media has portrayed this place to be big on. Only a handful of tacos to choose from. \n\nGood place for a quick bite or to bring the kids.\n\nFolks in the neighborhood seem really excited for this addition. After your Tex-Mex feast you can hop over to Mashcraft for a brew. Great things are happening in Herron-Morton!", "Loco on Delaware opened today and I am SO glad this place is here. The menu is what you would expect for inexpensive Mexican / Tex-mex fare and is pretty extensive (8 pages!). I was also pleased to see they had several vegetarian options. We shopped on the lunch specials menu, which is available from 12-3pm and is extremely affordable (we had an appetizer, 2 meals and dessert for $17 per person). The queso dip was good. Strangely they only have it on the menu with either chorizo or refried beans - I didn't ask if we could just have it plain though. For my entree, I went for the veggie chimichanga. It was good and filled to the brim with a variety of vegetables but not as fried as I like my chimichangas. \n\nI hope this addition to the neighborhood makes it! The service was attentive, and fast, and it looks like they will have daily drink specials as well. Check it out!", "This place was super busy on its first night, which I think is a good indication of how happy the neighborhood is to have Loco. The drinks were great and they have a nice tequila collection. I had carnitas tacos, my husband had pastor tacos-- both were delicious. I really like their corn tortillas and the chips and salsa were fresh and spicy. Although they were crazy busy, the staff stayed positive and didn't get flustered by the crowds (we sat by the kitchen and my husband and I commented on how well the staff was handling all the people). Great place, looking forward to visiting again.", "I was very happy to hear that Loco was finally open and it was obviously our first stop after the flight back to Indy.\n\nWalking into the restaurant, we were excited to see what it would look like. We were happily greeted by very bright decor, a feature wall of liquor, and a packed dining room. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement ended for us. \n\nService was terribly slow and it took a little over an hour for our food to arrive, but I anticipated this since it was only their third day being open. However, the menu lacked anything special and I struggled to decide what to order. We ended up ordering their 'Seafood Enchiladas' and their 'Chile Colorado'. The 'Seafood Enchiladas' is a HARD PASS - mine had one TINY shrimp in each tortilla and the rest was filled with IMITATION crabmeat. On the other hand, the 'Chile Colorado' had a great tasting sauce, but the steak was DRY and TOUGH. The only bright-side of the experience was the large mug of horchata.\n\nOverall, it's a nice addition to the Fall Creek area, but their dishes fall short of anything unique. If I am craving Mexican food, I will likely go elsewhere despite this being the closest.", "We tried to go around 8:45p for a late dinner, but there was a lot of people waiting to be seated and no hostess taking down names or giving out timeframe of how long we'd expect to be waiting. There's no real waiting area, when you walk in the front door you walk straight into tables of people eating. We stood in a \"line\" and then even went up to a hostess stand and waited for additional 10 mins and were never greeted by anyone telling us how long to wait, etc. We left because it got awkward standing in front of tables with people eating and no one was keeping track of which guests came first. We will attempt to come back and try them on a different day!", "I was really excited to try this restaurant as there was a lot of hype leading up to the open. I came in with a group of people where we had about a 30 minute wait for a table, which was expected since it's a Friday night and it recently opened. However, after being seated we never saw our server again for about 20 minutes. We actually had to stop someone to see if we could get some drinks while looking over the menu. After finally receiving our drinks, we never saw our server for close to 30 minutes. When our server returned we asked how long the food would take after putting in the order and our server said it would take a really long time. At this point we had been there for an hour and still only had drinks and chips with salsa. Unfortunately, we paid our drink bill and left. This felt as if the restaurant wasn't fully prepared for the open as the few servers that were there were scrambling around trying to deal with the large amount of people waiting to dine. There were other issues that happened during our dining experience, but overall the lack of service and wait times was disappointing.", "Short version: Wait a bit and see if they figure out their flow, and if they pay for materials they are using.\n\nThe good: Portions are large, and the Margaritas are strong and decently priced. Queso was good, and the chips were warm.\n\nThe bad: The front of the house is disorganized and don't know how long to quote people when putting in your name. This is because the table turnover is slow, ordering was slow, and getting the items out of the kitchen was slow. The entire visit was about 2.75 hours for a quick dinner. The food was not seasoned to my personal preference, and dry for a fajita. Most of it tasted like it was reheated while waiting on all the parts to come together, but the sides were stone cold.\n\nThe ugly: It appears that they have not paid their designer for their menus. PROOF is emblazoned on the drink menu, and BrandMuscle Inc should probably be quite upset that they are using materials that were not purchased.", "Service was a bit slow for Saturday lunch but not unacceptable. Understandable as a new place gets its feet under it. I tried to go Friday night and it was a total mess. Long line and nobody taking names. We left. \n\nThe margarita was great. I had the cilantro chicken enchiladas. Also great! The outdoor seating area was very pleasant under the umbrellas on a lovely Saturday afternoon. \n\nOverall, I liked it. They just need a bit more time to figure out the flow. I'm thrilled to see something affordable move into my neighborhood. The prices are very reasonable and this place isn't trying to be \"casual fancy\" like the last two train wrecks that occupied this space.\n\nHope Loco thrives for years to come!", "I was so excited to have a new restaurant that's so close to home . Also looking forward to some good Mexican food . \nI was kinda disappointed. Service not so great but it's brand new . I hope it get better . \nThe food portions are huge for the price .

I'm sure it wouldve been better had I dined in, instead of taking it out cause by the time I got home everything was just warm so that's probably y I didn't rate it to high. Seems like a nice place to take a date tho! Parking is a lil tight too...", "Went in for a lunch with a group today. Long story short, the waitress gave my order to another guy at the table. I figured my order was on its way out. When his arrived, the order takes his (my) plate, takes the half of the sandwhich he's not yet eaten and puts it in front of me. She heads back into the kitchen to get a fresh other half. By the time she got everything right it's all cold, and you know there's nothing better than a cold shrimp po-boy. \nWhen the bill comes I ask her to cut in half because they got the order only half right. She comes back and says they can't do that, but the chef would make a fresh sandwhich. I just want to leave. Eventually she comes back with half a po-boy wrapped in paper, when I get it back to my office, i swear to god its the same half I sent back becuase it was cold and covered in mayo which is partially why it got sent back. I would not go back in the place if it was free. Possibly the worst restaurant I've been to in years. Go to the Joint across the street.", "Been eating here since I was a kid.

We also had the baked macaroni & cheese which was cold.

I can only recommend this place if all others are closed and all you want is a mediocre sandwich. I had a mufalatta on french bread it was served hot and tasted ok. Nobody in the place when I walked in, at first I thought it might be an ok rustic, true french quarter locales type place. But after taking a seat and being served a diet coke in a dirty glass it became apparent it was just a dive. The servers were nice enough but overall the place is falling apart, dirty and NOT a must see in NOLA.", "This is another of my favorite French Quarter dives. It's nothing to look at, but actually better than its previous location. HoJo's or IHOP it's not. If you're looking for a sterile corporate place, all the fast-food chains on Canal St. are there for you. If you want upscale touristy, go to Brennan's.\n\nA lot of local workers eat here as well as Jazzfest regulars.\n\nIt's a good place for a cheap breakfast or lunch. The waitresses are friendly and the portions are ample. Try the grits, eggs, sausage. Coffee refills are free and the morning newspapers are available for free, if you don't like the people watching.", "As it was raining out I was going to give this place a shot -- despite the bad reviews. Unfortunately an enormous cockroach ran past before ordering and that was that -- out the door. No idea what the food tasted like. I didn't want to find out.", "I heard this is where locals that work in the area come for lunch. So I decided to try it. I sat at the bar and ordered a fried oyster plate. The guy next to me ordered an oyster po boy. My first disappointment was when the food came, his sandwich was packed to the brim with the little boogers and I had six pitiful little things on my plate. But my lunch was $4 more than his. What's up with that?\n\nThe next disappointment was the service. I'm sitting at the bar, right? And this ditzy tired old bat is back there supposedly taking care of three whole people including me. I was never offered another beer though I finished mine half way through the meal. She was so busy chatting up the other waitresses who were just hanging around that it took forever to get the check. Then I was absolutely ignored until I made a fuss about wanting to pay! \n\nThis place may have been a tradition at one point, but now it's just old and tired. Don't waste your time.", "Great place for a quick lunch. The sandwiches were great. I got the dressed sausage po boy. Bread had a good crispy crust that was fresh and tasty with a soft moist crumb. The sausage was well cooked and flavorful. Pickles were tangy and crunchy.\n\nDid not much care for the french fries, standard potato fries not as crispy as like.\n\nI would keep this on my short of list of lunch places, however due to small size I would probably tend to do take out more often.", "French Quarter dive, easily accessible from the CBD.\n\nDon't expect haute cuisine. Some of their dishes are great, I personally love their muffaletta (though a true muffaleta, it is not).\n\nTheir ingredients tend to be on the cheap side. It is relatively inexpensive overall.", "Guy Fieri needs to put this place on his diner's, drive ins, and dives show. This place is a dive, but in a good way. We had breakfast there. The place was packed. It is small and the waitresses work their butts off. The portions were generous and the prices extremely reasonable. We would return.", "So we walked in and stood around waiting to be seated because apparently \"please be seated\" looks like \"please wait to be seated\" when you have a public education background. I guess the waitress could have said something to us but it's more fun looking like an idiot. \n\nThe catfish po boy was good but not great. Nothing stood out in particular but my friend really enjoyed her fried chicken, which accounts for the 4 stars. \n\nThe only thing I didn't like particularly well was the fact that the waitress kept mistaking the two of us. She was very nice but I can't imagine what would happen if a group of Asians came in. Complete chaos probably.", "Mena's Palace was recommended by one of the doormen at the Marriott as an inexpensive place for good breakfast within walking distance. We went on Sunday and found a table without any problems. The service was poor and the food was bland and tasteless. The waitress never asked to refresh our coffee/tea, never asked if we were okay or if needed anything additional. Maybe the cooks and the waitress were just having a bad day, but it was enough to make us agree we would not go back to Mena's Palace again." ]

There was no hostess so I seated myself and was promptly served with menu and drink. I ordered the BBQ burger and fries. It was really good. I was afraid of the trend toward frozen burger patties and luckily they aren't using them yet or are good enough at making them have flavor. The fries were seasoned and yummy. The atmosphere was typical sports bar, but the service was perfect. The waitresses seemed to really try to make sure everyone had what they needed and each of them asked me how I was when they walked by at least once.\n\nWould definitely recommend to people looking for a good burger and a decent selection of beers. They also have a decent variety of food to choose from outside of burgers, so those looking for something more will be pleased too.", "This place in my opinion has THE BEST fries in town! The service is awesome and the people are fun. The people serving me were genuinly polite and not like they hated to be there. Fun atmosphere with the \"I feel like I'm in a huge submarine\" look to it...with huge TV's to boot! My favorite there is the Italian Chichen Parmesean Melt with their awesome Fish and Chips in second, and the calamari strips are good too!", "Didn't drink, but I must go back for happy-hour. They have some great drink and appetizer specials. My dinner was great, but the best were the chili cheese fries. OMG were they good!\n\nOur server was very friendly and attentive as well.", "The Flowing Tide on Longley is a solid restaurant. There's not a lot about this place that makes it stand out, one way or the other. The service isn't great, nor is it bad. The prices are fair (however if you use the Valpak 2-for-1 it's a good deal). The food is typical bar food and consistently good....with the exception of the french fries which are some of the best in Reno! It's a lot like Cheers, you always know what you are going to get, but sometimes that's good when it comes to restaurants. It's off the beaten path (in sort of a business park) which tends to make it great for lunch as you can get in and out quickly. I would recommend trying it out if you live in the area, but I wouldn't drive across town for it.", "After hitting to many buffets and AYCE places while staying at the Grand Sierra, my wife wanted a good salad. Found a recommendation of the salads at all of the Flowing Tide pubs so gave it a shot. \n\nThis place is on the other side of the airport in this little industrial park, but what a find. We passed it once (it is sandwiched between a few martial arts places and across from the fire station). We have always liked brew pubs when our kids were really young because our kids could make noise and make a mess and they would always end up being the most behaved in the place (compared to adults). Kids are older but pub food has always hit the spot. \n\nThis seems like a great after work place with pool tables, video poker, a bar, lots of big screen televisions and a bunch of tables. Don't think of it as a bar but as a place to grab some surprisingly good food. Waitresses were incredibly nice to us - got our appetizers going early and had our drinks all set. The potato skins were old school (TGIF memories) and the wings were really big. I guess we should have had the wicked wings because the honey BBQ ones were just sweet and stick. The size of the wings made it work. Fried calamari was not rings but slabs of calamari, which ended up being a super hit for my 9-year old daughter.\n\nMy wife got the chinese chicken salad and it was the best version I have seen at a pub. Burgers and sandwiches were awesome. I had to go with the bacon and bleu cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The fries were perfectly crisp and not too thick. Others had the french dip sandwich, the cheesesteak, and other burgers. My daughter went for the kids spaghetti, which they custom made with butter and parmesan. She was still hungry and chowed down a bunch of the chinese chicken salad, some of the cheesesteak and a bunch of the sweet potato fries. Just an awesome meal and a real find. Thanks Yelpers for the salad tip.", "I love going here. The staff is so good with the food and so friendly with my mom and I when we go there. My mom orders the nachos~either size, I think that it depends on what she wants that night. I must say that they are really great, and I don't do nachos that much, but these are nachos to convert anyone like me. I order one of the burgers or chicken sandwiches and they're always great. Last visit, I had the appetizer sampler that had fried zucchini, mozzarella sticks, and jalapeno poppers. It was awesome. My mom and I took our food to go, but we did look at the white board to see the specials of the day. I love how tall my iced teas are there, and then you compare them to other places, it's like a two or three for one all in one cup at once, which I think is good. My favorite burger, that I tried and got hocked on is the Black and Blue burger, which has bacon, and blue cheese, and the blue cheese is really mild enough that it isn't that strong.", "I am very surprised that out of all these reviews, no one has raved about the clam strips... Well, I will. Flowing Tide has the BEST clam strips around!!! They are lightly fried to perfection with a slight hint of grittyness to prove they are real. Served with a ranch and an amazingly unique sweet cocktail sauce, these are a definate local favorite and one of the best kept secrets in Reno.", "I love this place! Great happy hour deals and the food is great as well! I love the Tide Turkey, it is fantastic!", "Ok, the Flowing Tide has the best Beer Battered French Fries possibly in the world. I usually order the Tide Burger on potato bun with ranch for dipping and they are always juicy and amazing. You can sit at a spacious booth but I recommend you sit at the bar, Lori the bartender will always treat you right.\nCheers!" ]

Definitely coming back everyday rest of our trip.", "After only finding fried bar food this was a sight for sore eyes. I stumbled upon this place for clean, organic eating and it was delicious. The people were very nice. I had breakfast here but will come back for lunch and a green drink. They just opened so I didn't find them on yelp or online but luckily I was walking through a side street. Good luck to them! A hidden gem... for now.", "Very friendly family owned spot. Everything was fresh ! Great addition to the neighborhood. Would come back here again for a smoothie and lunch.", "Basimos is a healthy, tasty oasis by the beach. The fresh, homemade food is spectacular from organic banana muffins to unbelievable hummus. Everyone will be happy here but vegetarians will be over the moon. The owners - Lori and Fuat - and their sons are both sweet and informative on topics ranging from international travel to sustainable foods. This is a rare gem, run don't walk!", "I can't decide what I like better the tabouli, hummus or chicken quesadilla... Or the amazingly delicious granola w/almond milk... I over heard they will have baklava soon... This is my favorite organic cafe w/wi-fi", "I was in Clearwater a few weeks ago and this was the only place in town that served organic food. The breakfast of garlic sauteed kale and eggs was delicious. The cappuccino was really good too. The owners Peter and Joseph as well as the rest of their family were simply wonderful people. Basimo really had great clean, food as well as great energy! Can't wait to visit Basimo again!", "What a great little family owned organic coffee shop & cafe! I had an amazing salted caramel latte but my girlfriend had the Vinnie's Beach Brew--a hot coffee drink with FL sugar crystals, coconut oil, and butter--reknowned for mental clarity. It was absolutely fantastic. This place is a little hidden gem right next door to Frenchy's.", "Heaven in a tin can! They have Turkish coffee-best coffee I've ever had!!

[ "Oh hell-to-the-yea! I am a fan. This will be my new favorite hot spot for lunches during the work week although I am 100% my waistline will grow in size if I make this a weekly occurrence. \n\nPassed this place on Monday when I was next store at BOA and my mouth immediately started watering. I came back to the office and immediately spread the word to the troops that lunch tomorrow is on Melt Down! \n\nA fab group of Evolve employee's headed there today for lunch. Myself and a fellow fab coworker indulged in the Brie Melt Sliders (See my picture). Absolutely filling & deli-sh. The house made dipping sauce on the side wasn't necessary & the cheese definitely can stand alone here! My other fab co workers had the Honey Apple & I forget what the other one had but he still had to run to McDonald's for french fries because they served chips here. His recommendation would be to add fries to the menu and ensure the soup was hot - He had the Soup of the Day and it was luke warm (I double dipped!). \n\nStaff was overly friendly and accommodating! They must have stopped by 3-4 times asking if we needed anything (even to refill our bevy's!). Place was swarming with mainline mama's and their children so we quickly ate up and got out - Back to the grind!!\n\nWhat a great idea to open this joint! Only disappointment was that I didn't think of this idea first for a restaurant!", "The grilled cheese sandwich was greasy, used bad quality cheese and was a liitle too small for the price. The diner down the street does a better job. Also the waiter/hosts do not know anything about the cheeses and sandwiches and the pickle is your generic variety Vlasic Pickle. The only thing decent was the chips and those came out of a bag....", "Melt Down is part trendy, part tasty, and all adds up to a nice restaurant with great choices for the lunch crowd. Go for the grilled cheese, but go back for the quality and service.\n\nAtmosphere - Greeted by a simple spatula handle on the door, the interior is super modern and clean. Wood is cut to look like swiss cheese on dividers and walls in the seating area. The aroma of grilled cheeses hits you when you first walk in, and combine that with a small seating area for kids with movies was fun to see. Tables are a wood formica mix, with a smaller then expected area to wait. The register area is also fun, as the modern day cash register has been replaced with iPad order stations.\n\nWaitstaff - This is an order up restaurant, in that they only bring food out after you order from the counter. We took the 'Brie' table stand and waited for our food appropriately. Staff was dressed in clean brown t-shirts themed for the restaurant, and offered diners a chance to takeaway used baskets or cups, as well as provide refills as well. Really friendly and helpful staff was a pleasant suprise for this little gem.\n\nFood - I have to say that for the price and taste, the quality of this food was amazing. It's probably in my Top 5 of sandwich shops I've been to in Southeastern PA. Went with the Classic Sliders, which included a regular small grilled cheese. Perfect mix of crunch artisan bread with ooey gooey melted cheddar cheese. 2nd offer was a ham and cheese slider, which had a thicker piece of ham with grilled cheese. Also very delicious and had a nice sweet/smokey taste with the ham. The final slider was a Baja Chicken slider, topped with chicken, avacado, and a white mozzerella, this was my favorite of the three selections. Really had a unique way of trying grilled cheese. Other diners in my part had the Crab Grilled Cheese on Multigrain, which they said was a different, but fantastic take on grilled cheese, as well as a Grilled Cheese with Mozzerella, Basil, and Tomato. One other thing we really enjoyed was the fresh, local sodas and teas. You won't find any Pepsi or Coke products here, but the local, free refill offerings themselves were a great way to add to the experience.\n\nIntangibles - I've been to many places where kids could eat and I have to say this was the quietest I've ever heard them. Nearly all of the kids at the restaurant enjoyed the small sitting area with movies while parents and those without kids could speak at a regular volume. Really nice touch and my compliments to the owners for this feature. They do also cater for those offices on the Main Line, but pricing is subject to amount of people ordering for, call ahead for details.\n\nOverall - I would highly recommend trying a thrown down and Melt Down if you're a grilled cheese lover. The selection of items, locally grown and used, as well as the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff make this a great place for the lunch crowd in Wayne.", "Fantastically good sandwiches! Exactly what you want in a really good grilled cheese. It is all about great bread, perfectly grilled, with flavorful cheeses. \nSurprisingly good sodas too. Nice break from CokePepsi monotony. \n\nSave room for the ice cream sandwich.", "This place has some of the most wonky interior design I have ever seen, nothing made sense, mechanical style lights, circular wooden panels with no true purpose, random semi circular children tv station right next to the entrance. If I was grading on the makeup this place would get a negative 1 million. I did really enjoy the food however, no matter how healthy they make the sandwiches it really doesn't matter its still a grilled cheese, so it's more of a guilty pleasure. The New Hope soda line they have deserves a round of experimenting, I basically tried a flight of each style and was pleased with every flavor with the exception of the orange mango.", "The existence of Meltdown caused a pretty epic debate amongst my co-workers.\n\nIn one corner, you have the purists who believe that the grilled cheese sandwich is nothing more than a simple synthesis of cheese, bread and butter.\n\nAnd in the other corner, you have the modernists who believe that a grilled cheese sandwich is open to interpretation. Ham? Why not! Apples? Sure! Honey? Bring it on!\n\nPersonally, I don't know which side of the debate I fall on. All I know is that you should probably stop reading this review and get to Meltdown now. Seriously.\n\nDude, why are you still here? Are you not aware of the glory that is grilled cheese?\n\nAlright, alright -- fine. Let's get on with it. \n\nI ordered the Twofer combo -- half of a Baja Melt Sandwich (sans chicken) and the soup du jour, broccoli cheese.\n\nThe sandwich was basically a hug for my mouth -- creamy Monterrey Jack cheese, tomatoes and fat slices of avocado enveloped by buttery, crunchy bread covered in tortilla butter.\n\nYes. Housemade tortilla butter. \n\nThat is a thing in this world and I have eaten it and I kind of want to slather everything with it. \n\nThe soup was great too -- warm and creamy with large chunks of broccoli. Served with crunchy, salty toast points, this meal was pretty much the definition of carb heaven. \n\nMy only lament is the lack of hot sauce on the table. I swear, I'm going to start toting around a bottle of Cholula in my purse.\n\nIt's a great meal for a chilly fall day....or for a warm spring one. \n\nAnother plus is the soda. Seeing as how Coca-Cola and Pepsi have a monopoly on most eateries, it's refreshing to dine at a place with different options. The soda at Meltdown comes from New Hope - a local business focused on using natural, organic ingredients and cane sugar instead of HFCS.\n\nI got the Italian Lemon soda and it was great! A little tart and redolent of actual lemons. The only thing that could have made it better is the addition of Bluecoat Gin, but hey -- girl can't have everything. \n\nMake sure you save room for dessert because the grilled poundcake ice cream sandwiches are the stuff of legend.\n\nOwner (?) Bob noticed me salivating over them and brought one of the tasty treats to our table on the house. Thanks, Bob!\n\nI'm usually not a big sweets kind of girl. I prefer to use my caloric intake on salty-spicy-cheesy things or gin, but I'll definitely reconsider for these. The sandwich consists of a thick slab of either vanilla or chocolate Haagen Daaz ice cream served between two thick, buttery slices of pound cake and finished with raspberry glaze. \n\nOne portion between three people makes a great post-meal treat. \n\nIn addition to friendly and prompt service, Meltdown is a great place to bring the under 10 set. In addition to a kid-friendly menu, they have a little kiddie area complete with teeny chairs and a flat-screen TV airing classics like Mary Poppins. \n\nIf you need a hug -- you should call your mom but if you want a delicious sandwich that feels like a hug - hit up Meltdown. And seriously, save room for dessert.", "Stopped in a couple weeks ago, food was great, close to perfect grilled cheese. Soups were hearty and delicious. I especially liked the new hope fountain soda, local, all natural, and great flavors. Can't wait to stop in again.", "Nice and quick service and Interesting combinations!", "Absolutely amazing! I created a Yelp account just so I could write about how wonderful this restaurant is. It's a wonderful take on grilled cheese sandwiches. As a vegetarian, it is often difficult to find a sandwich place that puts more than cheese, lettuce and tomato, or really soggy grilled vegetables on a sandwich. Melt Down provides amazing options, with unique ingredients which create super tasty, fresh sandwiches. There are plenty of options for the meat-eaters too! \n\nAlso, their chipotle sauce is to die for. If they bottled it and sold it, I would always make sure that there is always a bottle in my kitchen. It is great to dip your chips in and your grilled cheese too! The possibilities are endless. \n\nTheir drink selection is awesome as well. They serve all natural sodas made with cane sugar, and they have an amazing variety of iced teas. Ordering a drink to pair with your grilled cheese is a must!\n\nPrice is comparable to other lunch places similar to it, like Cosi. Personally, I'd much rather come here than Cosi. \n\nService is great and friendly. Not only do they have amazing food, but the whole experience is truly enjoyable. \n\nPlease open one in center city!!", "I LOVE MELT DOWN! I have been there twice now and for someone who's lactose intolerant, I happily take a diary tablet and scarf those tasty grilled cheeses down! Not only is the food absolutely delicious and decently priced, the service and employees are great as well. I would be so excited to see this as a chain all over the country- who doesn't like grilled cheese? My favorite is definitely the Caprese with Mozzarella, Basil, Tomatoes and Balsamic... I know Cosi has a similar sandwich, but Melt Down trumps the Cosi's TBM (tomato, basil, mozzarella). Also they have amazing ice tea at Melt Down, as well as, delicious pickle spears. \n\nTheir kettle cooked chips are also amazing and it comes with their Chipotle Dipping sauce...I don't even have words... It's absolutely delicious! They need to bottle that sauce and sell it in stores! \n\nAlso, for parents, their children's area is complete with little chairs, little tables, and a TV playing favorite Disney movies like Lion King. Also, if you have a picky child, chances are they still like grilled cheese- making Melt Down a great choice for the whole family. \n\nI'm currently trying to take my boyfriend, friends and co-workers out to Melt Down, but it's about 30 minutes from Philadelphia- wish there was one in the city! I've heard rumors there could be one in Springfield- which would also be awesome as I moving out towards Media late this fall. \n\nAnyways, long story short- go to Melt Down, you will NOT be disappointed. You will only be disappointed if you live in Philly and cannot come back every week!" ]

It was the atmosphere that was a bit lacking...we were the only ones there, and there was no music until we were almost finished our meal. Also, if Cafe America offered free chips and salsa (they offer NEITHER!) it'd be better. I got the black bean vegetarian wrap, and it was very good but needed hot sauce to make it less boring. The ingredients were good-- brown rice, beans, very good mixed lettuce, tomatoes-- but it definitely needed more seasoning or sauce. I split an order of jalapeno poppers, and they were outstanding, but a bit small (probably better that way). Their chips are good, too-- nice and oily and big. My boyfriend and I each got 2 chips with our entrees. Not much else to say-- I'd go here again because it's cheap for Doylestown and tasty, but c'mon, a good Mexican-ish place needs chips and salsa!", "I like the Neuvo-Latino-Americano grub here. The place has moved locations and is now a bit larger. Chips & Salsa are always fresh 7 tasty, too.\n\nI wish I could give a more substanital review but I ate here so long ago - and at the old location - so I'd better just keep my mouth shut.", "This place is good... it's not out-of-this-world good, but it's good. I've ordered the Vegetarian wrap twice, and I agree with the other reviewer about it being a tad boring. The second time I ordered it I asked them to add their guacamole salsa to the wrap. They put it in a little plastic container on the side, which was a little annoying since I had to add a little to each bite, while trying not to spill the wrap all over the place. But the guac definitely improved the wrap (and a little hot sauce would improve it even more). The ingredients do taste really fresh and healthy though, which is always a huge plus in my book. The veggie wrap is the type of meal where you can eat the whole thing, and feel really full afterwards but you don't feel like a gross immobile blob. So for that reason, yay, I'm a fan!", "I've been to this place once, and I will never go back. Blech. I got grilled tuna and it had so much guacamole on top of it I could hardly find the tuna. My friend got some pork dish and the pork tasted like a wet dog smells. \n\nUMMMMNOTHANKS.", "I'm surprised at some of the negative reviews, and it makes me wonder if this place is inconsistant. Well, luckily for me and the wife, we must have been there on a good day. It was a lovely sunny D-town spring afternoon, and the huge amount of menu choices written in neon chalk on the walls was nearly overwhelming. \n\nI think it was the potato pancakes topped with black beans, cheese and sour cream (I believe we asked for quacamole instead) that convinced us to grab a table on the sidewalk. The grilled chicken quesadilla called my name, and the bacon ingredient ensured that I didn't have to share. :)\n\nYou have to order at a counter inside, then grab a table and they will bring the food out to you. They have adult beverages, and the Red Stripe was perfect with my food. But the selection is largely limited to booze you can use to make margaritas, daquiries, etc. This place is right next door to Honey, my favorite place in the world for grilled cheese sandwiches. My favorite moment during lunch was when an older woman walking by spied my Phillies jersey, and asked me if I was really Chase Utley. No kidding.", "I've been pleased with the quality of food. My complaint is the slow kitchen. A taco salad when ordered by phone shouldn't take 45 minutes to prepare. Other than that I still like Cafe America as a place to dine for lunch either as take out or eat in. Just be prepared for a wait. If you are in a rush I'd suggest eating elsewhere.", "I was very happy to see Negra Modelo on the beer list, and the sweet plantains were fried to perfection. I had the cuban sandwich~it totally put to shame all other cuban sandwiches, especially since it was layered with pork, ham, melty cheese, annnnnd roast beef. Lovely.", "Good all around. The margaritas are great. Mojitos. Just right. And you can get Pacificos for those of us that can stand Coronas. great nachos. Noticed they are trying to put in more traditional Mexican specials like tamales into the mix. However the tamale wasn't anything special. Work out the specials and you'll get cinco estrellas!", "Cute place. Got the nachos which were tasty but a little small for 8 bucks. All the food was decent.

We were sitting down looking a place to eat on Yelp and noticed N'awlins Cafe. It had a sign that its hot sauce had been on the Food Network so we decided to give it a try. \n\nIt was AMAZING. I had the seafood gumbo, I highly recommend it. It was flavorful and they were not cheap with the seafood at all. My friend had the BBQ shrimp, the sauce was interesting not BBQ I'm use to and the shrimps really were jumbo. My friend liked the sauce so much she ended up ordering an extra bowl of rice just so that she could pour the sauce over it. \n\n It's owned by a really sweet couple. The waitress was really nice too, we actually ended up staying until closing just to chat with her.", "I had the voodoo hamburger very good and spicy hot. Just wish they used another type of bun so it would fall apart.", "UGHHHHHHHHHHHH. \n\nCame here during Mardi Gras and were intrigued by the menu. It's in the French Market, so it's not a \"restaurant\" but rather a bar style service. \n\nOrdered around 5:15pm was given the check and I paid up front. When our food hadn't come out by 5:55 (and every other person at the bar had been served...even those sitting down MUCH later than us) I said something, and our food was out within 5 minutes. Let me be fair--I understand it was busy, it was Mardi Gras! But I am not kidding, every other person, including the girl next to me who sent her food back AND got an entirely different entree, was served before us. \n\nMy burger was smaller than something I might receive at McDonald's and the bun was literally 2 inches wider in diameter. It was like if you bought one of those really awesome bakery-made buns at the store, and then put a fast food burger on it. The thick-cut garlic fries were good, but there were five on the plate. My husband's gumbo *was* tasty, but the portion for $7 was absurdly overpriced. \n\nI walked away so annoyed and angry...especially because we had to go to one of the street carts to actually feel satiated.", "Do not eat here! Hair in food. Customer service was horrible.\n\nWe ordered the crawfish ettoufee which did not taste like anything and desperately needed salt. A few bites in, we saw a thin, long, blonde hair in it. When we pointed it out to the server (a blonde with thin hair) and she replied that it was too thin to be a hair and insisted that none of the cooks had hair. She quickly turned around and avoided us. Still in shock, we asked if we could get a refund, the response was \"all sales are final\". They did offer us a replacement dish but the staff continued insisting that the cooks didn't have hair even while serving the replacement dish. We left here appalled at the lack of customer service and nonchalant attitude about there being a hair in the dish.", "I rarely give one star reviews. But in this case, it's more than merited. \n\nWe strolled through the French Market in New Orleans during Mardi Gras, and it was fairly busy, but definitely not overcrowded. My wife and I wanted to try something authentically New Orleans, so we chose the N'awlins Cafe. They were serving all sorts of Cajun/Creole food, and had tons of pictures with celebrities eating there, so we felt good about the decision. \n\nBoy were we wrong.\n\nWe ordered our food, gumbo and a burger, after a few minutes of sitting down. I waited 5 minutes before having to go to the bathroom (it WAS Mardi Gras, right?). So I trekked the 5 or so blocks back, waited in line, yadda yadda yadda, and walked back. All of that taking about 20 minutes. No food had arrived. Right when I got back, two women sat next to us and ordered. As we waited longer and longer, food was flying out of the kitchen. After another 10-15 minutes, the people next to us who had ordered when I got back, received their food. Finally my wife said something, and after re-taking our order it seemed, the food came out of the kitchen after another 5 minutes. All in all about 30-40 minutes of waiting for already cooked gumbo and a burger. \n\nI can usually forgive things like that, had they said it was busy, that they'd forgotten the ticket, or whatever the case might be. \n\nBut what can't be forgiven is the taste of the food, which was the worst that I had in 4 days in New Orleans. The gumbo was a tiny portion for $7, watery, and with an inedible skinny crab claw on top. My wife's burger was a downright disgrace though. I can make a better burger with a frozen patty from Costco. It was miniature in size, and about as hard as a frisbee. We should've given it back like we saw a few others do, but didn't want to wait another 45 minutes to get something that may or may not have been worse.", "Great coffee. Had the Creole breakfast bowl, it was pretty good the shrimps in it were amazing. Service was not fast, but they are a small busy place so the wait was expected.", "I do not usually give anyone one star...however, this was horrible. If I could give them no stars I would. We waited 35 minutes for 2 po'boys and there were very few people there. We couldn't even eat what we ordered it tasted so bad. The owner asked how everything was and when we told him, he did nothing but make excuses for everything. I will say that the girls behind the counter were very nice and apologetic about everything. Looks like the only thing this place does well is hire staff for the front.", "I ordered the tilapia it came with seasoned Cajun potatoes, and mixed vegetables. So lets break everything down. We went around 11am ish. This was my first time in New Orleans, so i know i needed to try something a little different. I did taste a piece of sausage, i thought it was regular sausage, but it was alligator, it was actually good, it tasted like a regular smoked sausage, minus the spices. it was steaming hot too. Now the tilapia was very fishy aka fresh, well seasoned it was probably grilled or baked, it had wonderful flavor. the Cajun potatoes were good all so, here is were the problem lays... those mixed vegetables. those mixed vegetables.... i dont know who they thought they were fooling... but they didnt fool me, those vegetables were the frozen kind! i know they were", "We strolled through the French Market in New Orleans not really looking for a place to eat, but my wife and I were hungry, so we stopped by for a quick bite.\n\nWe ordered the $7 seafood gumbo. I wish I had read the Yelp reviews on my phone prior, because it was incredibly small for the money, and not very tasty at that.\n\nMaybe I'm just not a gumbo person.", "A great stop in the middle of the French Market. The seafood gumbo was delicious. My sister got alligator kebabs. Had a bite of my mom's jambalaya and it was tasty. Basically, anything you order at this walk-thru cafe will be fantastic." ]

The menu is huge and I was SOOO tempted to get a yummy breakfast dish, but wanted to be a bit healthy (I'd just come from the gym).\n\nI got the steel oats with blackberries and strawberries. It was SO good, and they put A LOT of fresh fruit on that bad boy.

It was good, but maybe there was too much pesto. I got the potatoes, and they were okay. Will definitely get the fruit next time, as it looked way better. \n\nMy friend got a scramble with chorizo and salsa. \n\nThe waitress mentioned strawberry orange juice. Might have to try that next time. \n \nWe went on a weekday. I felt like we had fast service but were able to sit and talk. The group behind us was doing business.

So after looking over the menu tempted to order everything I decided on the corn beef hash. GREAT choice, fresh, hot, and DELICIOUS. Had a side of the nutty monkey pancakes (no syrup required). Also tried the red velvet french toast ( yum yum) All in all, great staff, great food. Would I recommend? MOST DEFINITELY", "New Favorite Breakfast Place.\n\nIt's only been open a month, but already they have their breakfast act together. \n\nThe venue is bright, clean, and contemporary with lots of booths for comfy seating.\n\nThe menu has a selection of signature dishes that make Yolk the kind of place where you'll find a \"favorite dish\" that you won't be able to find anywhere else. For me, that was the Croque Madame -- a fork-and-knife sandwich made with thinly-shaved ham and turkey and cheese on French toast, topped with a sunny-side-up egg. The dish comes with either hashbrowns, ample fresh fruit, or cheese grits. I loved this dish so much I might never be able to try anything else on the menu... except I did.\n\nMy friend had the corned beef hash and eggs \"Fan Favorite.\" This hearty dish, which packs a lot of flavor, is large enough to share and comes with toast, pancakes, or English muffin. If you're a CBH fan, you'll be in heaven with this version that features diced red potatoes, green peppers, and onions.\n\nService was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. (Our waters and teas were never empty... and we're heavy drinkers!)\n\nI'm so happy that Yolk has finally opened in the Nora area. What a great addition to the neighborhood. I'll be back. \n\nSoon.\n\nMaybe tomorrow.", "Good stuff ! The menu offered a large selection of old and new breakfast and lunch choices. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Our waitress was attentive. I had the Belgian waffle with granola and fresh berries. It tastes fresh and light. At the table we had the salmon scramble which was generous with the salmon and thoughtfully provided capers on the side. The chocolate chip waffle was lightly and fluffy. The meaty omelet disappeared too quickly to sample! It was all wonderful. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was the price. $70 for brunch for 4 is a bit much for this market.", "I'm from Indianapolis but I live in Los Angeles and I'm home for the holiday! My sister chose this as our breakfast spot for me, her, and my mommy this morning and it was great! We were greeted immediately upon walking in and our waitress Ivanna (sp) was friendly and wonderful. \n\nMy mommy and sister ordered the chicken and waffles and the boneless chicken breakfast was as big as the waffle and took up the whole plate. I tasted the chicken and it was delicious. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast and had bacon and sausage links-yummy! Coffee was great too! Strawberry orange juice had a smoothie like toast and consistency and I didn't have much of it, but it was still tasty! \n\nGreat spot and will definitely return!", "Excellent food and excellent service!

Healthy food, quick service, fresh juices...\nWhen I walked in, I noticed the clean decor first, a dining counter for grabbing a quick bite to eat, or a table to stay a while. There's shelves with ready-made meals, cold pressed juices, and drinks. The staff was very friendly. The liked that the menu had gluten free pizzas and make your own salads. I ordered a roasted veggie pizza and a Sonoma salad. Both were delicious. The pizza had roasted onions, zucchini, squash on the gluten free crust. (I also added sausage to mine). The Sonoma salad was very good, I couldn't stop eating it: sliced apples, walnuts, fresh spinach, etc. I can't wait to go back to try something else on the menu.", "Swegs is a great place to grab a quick HEALTHY bite.

Can't believe how good the turkey burger was..even though it was cold by the time I was able to eat it. Still absolutely delicious, by far one of the best I've had in the city. Totally beats company burger. (I added blue cheese and bacon to it lol) The caprese salad was bigger than expected!

This place is a little bit chilly inside and I believe it's to keep the raw fish fresh and cool since salmon and tuna are cut and sitting out. It's worth the try but I hope that their scoops is a little bigger because from what I had in Vegas and NY there are more greens in this bowl in comparison to seafood.", "Since my trip to Hawaii, I've many a time dreamed about poke. We traveled all over trying various different kinds and could only hope that poke would come to Philadelphia.... and then I walked by Poke bowl and my anxious waiting began. Finally it was opening day and thankfully my expectations were not only met but exceeded. \n\nAs I mentioned, It was opening day when i visited so obviously there were a few kinks to work out but most importantly the customer service was fantastic and I absolutely loved my bowl. I also thought that the restaurant did a great job at creating a nice fast/casual/take out dining experience. \n\nI went with a brown rice base with tuna, octopus, spicy shoyu sauce, seaweed salad, pickled ginger, avocado, hawaiian salt, tobiko and a drizzle of a siracha aioli. I absolutely loved it! My brown rice was perfect and all of the ingredients tasted very fresh. I was a little hesitant about creating my own bowl and what would actually work together but it came out great! \n\nWelcome to Nolibs, Poke bowl! I believe this is the beginning of a beautiful poke filled friendship.", "Could not be more excited for fresh, delicious poke in Northern Liberties! I built a bowl of tuna, salmon, and octopus, mixed with seaweed salad, furikake and Hawaiian salt, coated in spicy shoyu and unagi sauces, topped with tobiko, nori, and pineapple, all on a bed of hot, sticky white rice. It took me right back to Hawaii, and I enjoyed every last umami-bursting bite. The flavors, the bright interior, and the positive energy of the owner behind the counter brightened up a dreary grey day.\n\nI got a belly full of hot rice and fresh fish, with all the wonderful Asian flavors inherent to poke, all for about the same price as a meal at SaladWorks or Chipotle.\n\nNote: The bowl in my picture is not the one I listed above... it's the bowl I got the next day when I went back for more!", "I thought it was a bit pricy for the protein portion. They allowed 3 scoops of protein if you get a small and the scoops were soo tiny. It was pretty filling nonetheless. They are still new so they have a couple tweaks to make. \n\nMy only problem was how heavy handed the guy made my protein/sauce mix. He added way too much soy sauce (hot/sweet sauce) which really overpowered the whole poke bowl and I could not get a good taste of all the other ingredients. My friend had the same issue with the sauce.", "I went here the day after opening and was greeted by their friendly staff and was offer a sample! The place looks very bright and clean and has a very nice ambiance. \n\nI ordered a small bowl with brown rice, salmon, sea salt, seaweed, avocado & tobiko with the Unagi sauce. I loved it! Similar to majority of the reviews, the ration of protein to base is rather small. I love the flavoring of everything as well as the service, the only change I would recommend is the portion of protein to the base. \n\nI will most definitely revisit soon!", "I love poke bowls so I was super excited to see this open up in my hood. And maybe that's why I'm so picky.\nI stopped here after work this evening. There was a line of people and most of the counter seating was taken.\nIt took forever. I mean I could have sat down and ordered at a restaurant and it could have taken less time. They were short a few proteins by the time I got to order. The noise of the sinks and everything made it difficult to hear behind the plexiglass. And maybe they weren't prepared for the crowd of people but it seemed a bit haphazard and disorganized behind for counter there.\n\nIt's opening week and they didn't ask if I needed any explanation of their menu or how it worked. At all. \n\n30 minutes later (seriously) I got my food. It seemed a bit skimpy on the toppings considering it was over $15 (I did have to pay extra for the crab and avocado...) Decent flavor but nothing to write home about. The tuna was fine, but I kind of miss that bit of vinegar-y zing in the rice. Plus the rice was a bit mushy in spots and chewy in spots. The ratio of rice to protein to other stuff was just off. \n\nThey're probably still working out a lot of kinks but it bothered me that the guy had to remind the other guy to wash the knife before cutting up more tuna--and the guy also didn't know how to chop it up either. \nI'll probably still end up going back because it's so close to me and I'm all about supporting new local businesses but I'm hoping for improvements!", "I've known about Hawaiian poke bowl because there was a spot I always wanted to try in nyc but never had a chance to go there yet . But I'm glad they finally opened one right in Philly . I was so excited !!!\n\nFood wise I would give it a 3.5 . It was alright . I thought it was a little pricey , especially with the proteins . It is a small portion as other yelpers has mentioned . So I got a large poke bowl with tuna , salmon , crabmeat , and seaweed with sesame seed and Hawaiian salt . The seaweed had a fishy taste to it , I didn't like it too much . For sauce mixture, I went with the original sauce . In my opinion , it was on the salty side . So I didn't like it . The brown rice was pretty good . My toppings was cucumber , avocado (an extra 1$) , and caviar . I wished the avocado was diced up instead of it being meshed . My last topping was the wasabi aoili . \n\nStaff was friendly . I walked in , in the afternoon and there was no line so I didn't have to wait . I'll probably try something different the next time I go and balanced it out to see if it's worth going back .", "Never had a poke bowl, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I thought it was pretty damn good. I got the tuna and octopus over white rice. All the ingredients were super fresh, and the staff very friendly. My only complaint was the menu was a little confusing. Overall I'd say it's a good addition to the block", "Great spot! I missed poke so much after being in Hawaii and returning to philly. They had a perfect mix of fresh ingredients. The fish seemed really fresh. It might be easier to order if there was a 'cheat sheet' to define all of the sauces, toppings etc. We will be back!", "Very very good!

If I could, I'd give it 3.75 stars.\nSlightly hole-in-the-wall, slightly out of the way, but bustling with patrons during the lunch hour thanks to UCSB students and business parks nearby.\n\nMy companion had the bbq chicken sandwich, which looked very yummy, and she claimed was yummy where there was bbq sauce. Mysteriously, the bbq sauce was only on one precise half side of the sandwich. Imagine a grilled chicken breast with bbq sauce, served between a wheat burger bun with lettuce and tomato. Plus a little iceberg salad on the side. \n\nI had the taquitos, which were stuffed with chicken, and they were actual pieces of chicken strips that ran the length of the taquito. This is the first place in Santa Barbara that had big pieces of chicken like that - all others are shredded. They were yummy!\n\nThere are also burgers and fries, looked like a burger, fry and drink combo is about $5.50. Then there are burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, tostadas, but really the menu looked quite simple.\n\nCounter guys were very friendly, eager to suggest items I might like when I started hemming and hawing over choices. Maybe they just wanted me to hurry up, but they accomplished that while also making me feel good. One guy also thanked my friend for bringing a newbie into the Cal Taco fold.\n\nThere is seating inside and outside under an awning, so you get some shade.

The burger, fries and drink combo is $6.\n\nDining friends got the fish tacos and steak burrito - they took longer to serve up and that was fine by us - hooray for fresh prepared. The Mexican items were a few dollars more than my burger, and were also more amply portioned. \nI tried some of the tacos myself recently. The chicken taco came with a crunchy shell, and the seasoning left the chicken a little dry and a little bland. The fish taco was very juicy, and not fried, and came with salsa, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. I ate about a third of it with a fork before I was comfortable picking up the tortillas and eating it as a taco. Personally, I think the burger and fries is the better option over tacos. \n\nClientele, like the business itself, was nondescript.

When I was an itsy little thing I would come in and buy individual Swedish Fish for a nickel a piece. Now it's an upscale dining experience in Florissant- Who would have guessed? Not me. The service is decent but not great, but the food is remarkable. The steaks are wonderful, and a far cry from what you'll get at the Longhorn down the street. I recommend coming here in the spring or summer when you can hang out on the patio and really soak in the weather. It doesn't feel like you're anywhere near home. \n\nI'm rating this as a five because this is as good as it gets in Florissant.

Lovely garden dining is available in the summer. The food is always good, but not quite as nice as the atmosphere. Some lighter/healthier additions to the choices would be helpful.", "So I'm driving around North County, taking some business pictures (Note to Allan C - take pictures to go along with your Lists, dude! You're killing me here...) and run across Hendel's Market Cafe. I've totally been here before and it was overrun with people. So busy, in fact, that we couldn't eat here... and I was bummed about it! This was a few years ago, but once you've been in historic Florissant, you tend to remember the highlights of your trip :)\n\nHop back in the car, since this is my last stop for the morning, and drive back to UMSL, where Mike T is giving a presentation. When he's finished, I told him that we have to have lunch at Hendel's Market Cafe while there's still time and it's not super duper busy.

But I was worried there for a second that we picked the wrong place to eat lunch!\n\nOur server was lovely... very prim and proper too. She told us the specials and gave us plenty of time to order. Servers here tend to disappear behind a mysterious corner here, which can be a bad thing if you need to change your order. But overall, she was lovely.\n\nYou can tell immediately that the food here is homemade and the \"real deal\". I had the honey ham and baby Swiss sammie - delish! Although it took me 10 mintues to track down our waitress behind said mysterious corner to ask for some honey mustard to go with the sandwich (who eats a ham sandwich without mustard, come on!). That with a side of French Onion soup and I was stuffed!\n\nDessert here looks pretty spectacular. If I didn't have to drive two hours north to visit my parents, I would have indulged in a piece of the tiramisu cheesecake. And then a nap later in the day. But I passed this time. Two meals, including tip? Less than $25! \n\nIf you can nag a spot, I bet Sunday brunch here is also a steal. But get here right at noon because you might miss out on a STL gem if you aren't careful...", "Food and service were great! This place has a lot of history which I thought was cool. We had a large group dinner and everything went smoothly. They have a pianist there on the weekends at the bar and he was great! Will definetly be returning!", "So I started a new job this week in Hazelwood. THAT part was exciting. However, after working downtown (and being spoiled by all of the AMAZING eateries around!), I wasn't excited about working in a food wasteland. \n\nEnter Hendel's Market Cafe. How did I grow up in North County (which is NOT ghetto, btw!) without knowing about this place?!?! Oh, that's right -- I was perfectly content with Applebee's and Longhorn Steakhouse back then. *shudder*\n\nIt's a cute little place tucked away in Old Florissant. Lots and lots of indoor seating, and some outdoor spots as well. Very cozy and charming. \n\nI had the spinach salad -- Fresh spinach, mushrooms, red onions, smoked bacon and chopped egg with hot honey bacon dressing. Mmmm, it was delicious! The dressing was pretty fantastic as well. And the salad was pretty large for a lunch portion. Definitely enough to fill me up. \n\nI was going to skip dessert at first, but then the waitress told me that they have homemade bread pudding. BREAD PUDDING?!?! And it's homemade?!? Yes, please!\n\nIt was absolutely delicious. Warm, gooey, and flavorful. I didn't even mind that there were raisins in it. The whipped cream on top was sweet and fantastic. And the piece that was brought out to me was HUGE! Totally one of my top 5 bread pudding experiences. \n\nThis place might be a regular haunt for me during the work week -- that is, unless I can find something better in NoCo to replace it.", "What an adorable little place! Okay, I'm not familiar with North County at all, and had never even seen Old Town Florissant- so I guess you would consider me a \"non-local\"... \n\nIt's laaate (3pm) on a Saturday and I'm with a friend who wants to check out lunch here... It's located in an adorable neighborhood... we walked by a lovely patio filled with tropical plants, small garden waterfall feature, huge fan blowing to help with the heat... but we sat inside. \n\nAlso very nice inside, I walked around for a bit and spied where the piano/live music is supposed to be played on certain nights near the bar. I can't wait to come back and check out the atmosphere. \n\nWe were seated fast (the place was practically vacant at 3pm - with the exception of a bridal shower occurring on the shaded patio section). \n\nWaiter: SO helpful and kindof adorable (in a \"wow you're young\" type of way)\n\nHam & Swiss sandwich on a marble rye bread: excellent, though no dressing on it. I adore ham so much that I ate it plain. \n1/2 Harvest Salad with honey mustard dressing: just your normal house salad, but with the darker and more nutritious lettuce pieces. Sidenote: it's a pet peeve of mine to get a salad and only have iceberg lettuce. It's not even filled with nutrients. Why should I waste time and shove it down my throat? So anyway, yay good lettuce!! \n\nLemonade: umm nothing special. It might've been Minute Maid for all I could tell. \nCaramel Apple pie: YUMMMM. I was instantly transported to my favorite season of fall. \n\nFYI- I've decided that to come back here in Fall, and have a glass of wine on the patio, will be SO perfect it might become a weekly occurrence. I mean the neighborhood is so cute, I feel like I'm in New England or something. \n\nAs we walked to our car, the church bells from next door were clanging. How picturesque :)" ]

[ "\"For a fun, music-filled day in the sun Shephard's is the place. I've been here 5 times in the last 6 months and I live in Chicago. I visited in April, May and the Labor Day weekend. Each time it gets better and better. Why? I always arrive to find parking waiting for me (OK, not on Labor Day weekend), an ice cold Mojito, some peel and eat shrimp, fun people at nearby tables and dance music. Oh, age range of people is probably 25-45, I've never seen any children here and sadly to say, the crowd is not very diverse. However, the crowd is a nice mix of locals and tourists. \n\nShephard's bands (which play 7 days a week, I believe) performs from 11:00am-11pm; at end of season that changes to 2pm-11pm. But do not despair because the INDOOR club at Shephard's opens up at 10pm so the party continues on. \n\nDuring the day, when you're hungry while sitting in the sun...just wave the waitress over and order up lunch. Later in the evening for a real dinner you can either dine off the menu at the fabulous restuarant they have inside or enjoy the buffet which always includes crab legs and an array of fresh seafood. \n\nIf sitting in the sun and getting your tan on is not your cuppa tea, just stroll over to the beach front for a swim. Or jump on a boat and go parasailing. While you're waiting for your parasailing launch boat to arrive, cool off in the gulf bay and chat it upwith the folks anchoring their boats near the fun. \n\nBy now, after your parasailing, dancing and dining.... the sun must set. And what better place to watch it than here...breathtaking. If you go to Shephard's and don't enjoy yourself....check your pulse, then see your doctor! \n\nP.S....Anyone remember Tone Loc? The \"Funky Cold Madina - Wild Thang\" guy? He was the featured act at Shephard's this Labor Day weekend 2006. Check my profile for pics!!!", "I enjoy Shephards except for when it's too hot- there's really no place to cool off. But live music is always enjoyable especially in this peaceful location and direct view of the water.", "Shepards has been notorious for years for their beach club, The Wave, as well as their Tiki Bar on the holidays. Hey, guess what? It's also a hotel too!\n\nPretty standard as far as hotel beach resorts go -clean rooms, fairly large (2 queen beds and a couch/sitting area). A restaurant downstairs that serves lunch and dinner buffets (but it wasn't that good, didn't even soak up my alcohol!) and of course the shop where you can buy way overpriced flip-flops if you forgot yours.\n\nNow for the Tiki Bar: large, actually two bars plus a stage area. Overlooks the bay and boats can anchor up here and enjoy the small beach front or walk up and have a tiki-drink. I can't say anything special about the drinks- they weren't specially strong and even for the holiday there was no \"special\" drink (like how about a \"memorial mai tai\"?) \nAlthough there were a good many people there you could still walk around, dance if the notion grabbed you and *bonus* they had misters so it didn't feel too hot (not good for my lobster-lookin' body right now though!).\n\nI have no idea about the nightclub as I have never been but I have heard many a stories about this place.\n\nGreat party hotel, where you can catch some rays, some drinks and some late nights dancing.", "This was a fun place to go with A LOT of food. We spent a considerable amount of time here and enjoyed the live music from inside. Since we spent enough money on the buffet, we were surprised to find out that when we went outside that if we wanted to stay, we'd have to wait in line and pay a cover.\n\nI'd definitely go here again though, and really enjoyed the food. There was a bit of something for everyone - even if you don't want seafood.", "This place is hilarious! The drinks are not mixed well but you get to watch the local drunken train wrecks. I do have to admit that the bar itself did have a weird smell that I could have done without. I still had fun dancing to some classic rock and hip hop *i know odd combo!", "Ahh many a lost memory at Shephards. Good place to hang out as long as its not Spring Break. Then its just a little too crowded. I tend to stray from the nightclub part but the bechbar and indoor lounge are fun. Drinks are reasonable but id stick to beer as the bartenders are usually as drunk as the patrons and dont always make the best mixed drinks. Billy, one of the owners, is usually patrolling and is always cool enough to stop and chat. Stay next door for the cheap room rates and throw the doorman at Shephards 20 for a guest wristband to gain access to all the bars,club for cheap. Or the valet guys always know whats going on too.", "The tiki bar has a great outdoor music venue, and the inside bar can be a fantastic time if you want it to be. They had on stage some of the most talented musicians I had ever heard. They were very versatile, playing all kinds of music from rock, to dance, to hip hop, to oldies. The dance floor is packed with enthusiastic tourists just having the time of their life. I also love the bar area, they have all kinds of microbrewery beers on draft, and a full liquor bar with somewhat reasonable prices. It's an excellent way to spend a night in Clearwater Beach.", "Ok, this place is multifaceted. It is a great spot for spring breakers (day or night)...as well as regular beach-going people, or tourists looking for a good breakfast, lunch or dinner.\n\nI've been for spring break, and if thats when you go.. be prepared for crowds, lots of good live music on the beachbar. They have a nice nightclub 'The Wave' that gets packed late at night. Only bad thing, it boots everyone out at 1:30am. Perfect timing for after-hours in our hotel I guess!\n\nThey have a nice indoor restaurant as well..with a large buffet. On the weekends that prices are higher (but you get more)..like wafffles, etc.\nI've had the lunch and breakfast buffets during the week (cheaper) as well as the wknd, and loved both. This restaurant turns into a nice bar at night, with a dance area as well. Good spot. \n\nWe have a place in the area, and never miss coming to Shephards. Go during the day for ppl watching, and nighttime for drinks and dancing. Clearwater needs more of these!", "Shephard's is an interesting place. The mix of clientele varies quite wildly. Let's take a look at what we encountered on a weekend in Feb: \n\nSmall-town girls having a bachelorette weekend? Check. \nWrinkled retirees who sun? Check. \nEnthusiastic baby boomers drunk at 4pm? Check. \nFolks who decided to drag race (while smoking, to boot) by the bar in their electric scooters? Check. \nYoung, regular folks like my husband and I? Nowhere to be found. \n\nHilarious patrons aside, the Resort was perfectly acceptable. The suites by the pool were large, the live music at the Tiki bar was good, and the breakfast buffet filled us up each morning and was well-priced. 4:00-7:00 on weekdays is Happy Hour at the Tiki bar. Sunshine, live music and a happy hour - you don't need much else in FL.\n\nNote: The \"fitness center\" isn't much more than an old treadmill and weight machine. Plan to hit the pavement if you're looking to work out.", "I agree, this place is hilarious and I do not understand it, but I had a great time. I have no idea what the standard clientele is for this place. We went for a bachelorette/spring training weekend and had a blast. The rooms were nice and the hotel was a lot of fun.\n\nOne note tho- if you are looking to get any sleep, the Tower is not where you want to be. You can hear the music from the club until it closes." ]

[ "Stopped by this place in its first week of opening for dinner. It has a really nice atmosphere (quiet), with some cool fish murals on the wall.\n\nMy wife and I ordered two different specialty rolls (See photo). I really liked the Tomo roll which had tuna and cilantro with a nice sour sauce on it, but wife preferred the eel and avocado roll. My father-in law doesn't eat sushi so he tried to pork ramen, which I had a taste of, and the meat was really tender and broth was really good.\n\nWe will definitely come back again and try out some more sushi and probably grab a whole bowl of ramen for myself.", "Absolutely exquisite, fresh, clean food offered at the new Tomo Sushi & Ramen in Old City Philadelphia at 228 Arch Street. The menu is very extensive and, of course, the kitchen open. The owner, Andy, is behind the sushi counter and both he and his staff could not be more welcoming and gracious. Beautiful, rustic decor . . . lovely ambience . . . BYO bottle of freezing Pinot Grigio and you'll have a memorable time at this wonderful new neighborhood addition.", "Excellent sushi. The service was top notch and the vibe was very relaxed. I highly recommend The Brian and The Margarita special rolls but everything was good. We made reservations and I'm glad we did because the every table was filled. Great place. Definitely going back.", "Vegetarian Ramen and vegetarian gyoza were excellent! Had one of the special rolls-Margaretha [sic]-which was fresh. We are looking forward to returning to try other selections! \n\nWent on a Sunday night. There were about 6-8 other parties there so not overly crowded but quiet enough to have a conversation. Great decor and ambiance. Server and chefs were professional and friendly.", "This will be a new Old City staple... the pork buns were delicious and the ramen is authentic. Very zen vibe and friendly staff, and BYOB is a HUGE plus! Will be back.", "I came in expecting a good experience right away from the great ambiance inside. It took a long time (at least 15-20 mins) to get our miso soup and salad starters, which was confusing because we came at peak lunchtime and there was only one other table sitting down. The food was all very good, but the prices are very high for what you get - portions were on the very small side (5 small pieces in a \"roll\"). Was most disappointed when at the end there was a giant upcharge on my lunch special for replacing a roll that I was not informed about and made no sense with their pricing structure. Will not be returning. You should walk a few extra blocks out of your way to get more sushi at a better price and similar quality!", "We popped in Tomo tonight and we were so vert pleasantly surprised. Decor spot on, service fantastic, sushi amazing! \nBYOB is an extra bonus. Sushi was very fresh, experience preparation and presentation. Rolls are inventive. Great addition to the neighborhood!! We will be back!!!", "A very welcome addition to the neighborhood! Service was excellent (even if it was just for take out). The margaretha and spicy tuna with salmon rolls and traditional ramen were delicious. I look forward to exploring more of the menu.", "Simply put, the sushi is outstanding!! We're so happy to find a new old city mainstay. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, the staff are super friendly and accommodating, and the chef owner is an absolute artist. The plates come out looking beautiful and he's always trying new creative takes. Try the tuna guacamole - you won't be disappointed. The special rolls are great and the sashimi is even better. A friend also had the ramen and said it was next level.", "I went this place yesterday night two black from my house I love it!!!\n\nClean and nigiri is delicious!!\nAnd ginger salad is good!!\nLike home made !!\nI will be here very open!!!" ]

[ "I believe this spot has been open for about a week now without advertising. And at 5 pm was filling up pretty good. \n\nNote the entrance is on the Lakeside of the building so you don't have to walk around the entire building to find the right door- like me. The interior is very nice- rustic painted cement floor and walls that look like various reclaimed boards. I like the over all appearance. \n\nBeing the first time there, the only server I can comment on was Charlotte. Damn that girl is a perfect server. Subtle suggestions - a drink from the bar, \"we have a great bartender.\" Or an appetizer or two while looking the menu over. She saw my indecision and said take your time, I'll bring the drinks. For a new restaurant she seemed to know the menu pretty good and made a couple of suggestions. One two sided menu has sandwich, burger $10-14, salad $9-15 and small plate choices $9-14. The second menu had more of a dinner selection - ribeye $20, pasta $13, and lamb chop $18. The food arrived on, my personal favorite, HOT plates. My three tacos were so stuffed you couldn't fold them in half and tender beef, fresh crisp cabbage and a creamy cool cilantro sauce. Hubby enjoyed the rigatoni with mushrooms and chicken in a cream sauce. \n\nA nice variety of wines from $5 to $11 a glass and also available by the bottle. Also a reasonable beer list. \n\nOf coarse Charlotte returns with a final suggestion and tease of some decadent sounding desserts. Next time, we were just too full. \n\nWill absolutely be returning there were several other items we really wanted to try.", "Not to be confused with the souped-up compact, high-performance superlative of German engineering manufactured by the motorsports division of BMW, with a twin-turbocharged, intercooled DOHC 24-valve inline-6, aluminum block and head, direct fuel injection engine producing 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, or a 59-mile English motorway expediting Londoners retreat to the Isle of Wight off the coast of South England, a popular weekend seaside holiday island with quaint cottage towns and seagull-infested beaches, M3 in Reno is a nice, cozy restaurant on South McCarran alluding to the third collection of Moxie restaurants. Perhaps trying to distance itself from its brand, it has a different menu than the other Moxie's and much less aggressive view than the Caughlin Ranch incarnation. A product of its neighborhood, the place fits in perfectly with its demographic. Besides all-you-can-eat sushi and a collage of ethnic restaurants, fast food, and casinos, Reno restaurants tend to fall into two major categories each reflecting the generation, income, and mentality of its customers. \n\nMost restaurants that have recently opened, Reno Provisions, Craft Depot, Centro, fall into the organic, hipster, Millennial-Gen X group. However, in bigger cities, this group has more money, whether Dot-comers or yuppies, everything on the menu is expensive and organic including the cocktails. This group is perhaps the most sophisticated and knowledgeable about food and drinks than any other, perhaps in the history of dining and drinking. They are a demanding group who aggressively review places and share their experiences on the Internet and make snarky sarcastic comments when treated brusquely or suffering over-cooked, organic grass-fed Wallaby. In Reno, they tend to be unemployed, so invariably, they often complain about high prices. In Reno, you'll actually find a lot more Gen X and hip Baby Boomers at what would otherwise be hipster grottos. These restaurants are ugly, industrial, bare brick walls, exposed rafters and HVAC, aggressively wooded, hard, sharp-edged, and deafening. It is almost designed to produce a sharp contrast with the quality and attention that goes into the food, or as I like to say, coddle the animal and torture the human versus Applebee's where you coddle the human and torture the animal. The décor is more minimalist, aloof Northern European. \n\nThe second group are older Gen X and Baby Boomers. In Reno, there are two subgroups, the locals and the Californians. The locals go to Pinnochio's, Zozo's, 4th St Bistro, Moxie's, and other long-time, established places while the Californians go to chains like Olive Garden and Applebee's or any upscale Italian or steakhouse for the wealthier ones. Besides sushi, Reno has an abundance of Italian places reflecting the heritage of Italian farmers (as well as Italian Chicago and New York ties). The décor is derivative, what I call the Olive Garden look, a cheap, Disneyfication of rustic Tuscan with 50 shades of coffee. This is Napa-Sonoma and M3 décor. Hey, I'm not dissing, just observing. Maybe you like that? It's comforting, soothing, quiet, warm, and cozy. You hear conversation in the background like a mild humming instead of shrieking and bellowing in a hipster grotto. Unfortunately, the food is rarely grass-fed, hormone-free, organic, free-range, hand-massaged. The wine list is predictable, Rombauer, Kendall-Jackson, Ferrari-Carano, Mondavi, Truchard, Butter, any number of animals leaping.\n\nThe menu here is Italian-influenced, extensive and eclectic including pasta, steaks, Cioppino, bruschetta skillets, flat bread, panini, sandwiches, burgers, and salads. The food and service are good. The atmosphere is pleasant and warm. Southwest Reno is a big area with big income underserved by restaurants and bars, so I am sure M3 will do just fine serving the neighborhood. The bar is separated by a semi-wall and also has video poker in typical Reno style. The glass-wall stairway down to the restroom reminds me of the Wild Orchid. Being in the middle of Millennials and Baby Boomers, perhaps what I really want is a restaurant with Baby Boomer décor and ambiance with Millennial organic food and craft beer and cocktails. Is that possible?", "Love this new place! I had the BBQ chicken flatbread pizza and it was absolutely delicious! I honestly think I liked it more than California Pizza Kitchen's BBQ chicken pizza. The ambiance and staff are great too. I highly recommend going here, Reno needed a fresh new yummy place like this. I can't wait to go back!", "Fortunately for me I work about 50 feet from their front door so I went to lunch with a coworker here and was very happy.\n\nThe interior is tastefully done, clean and modern - they transformed this restaurant completely from what the building was used for before and it looks great.\n\nAfter walking in we were seated promptly which was nice and the restaurant at 11:45 on a Monday was already quite busy.\n\nOur drink orders were taken right away and delivered quickly as well. I do like that if you ask for water they will bring you a glass jug that you can pour with.\n\nNot wanting to eat anything too heavy I decided on the salmon tacos with cottage cheese as my side (yeah I'm weird - whatever). The tacos were large and served on soft corn tortillas. The fish was grilled/blackened and had plenty of flavor and cooked well. Served along with some napa cabbage, pico de gallo and some kind of dill sauce that was delicious - I was very satisfied.\n\nI can't wait to go back and try more of their menu!", "I came up to Reno this weekend and on a friends suggestion we went to M3 for dinner. Service was great and the flank steak was excellent! For $20 you get a really good steak and the sides. Can't beat it. Enjoy.", "Two stars for cold beer and pleasant service. Took the servers advice and ordered the fried green tomato panini with cream of artichoke soup. The soup was made with marinated artichoke hearts which made for an odd flavor. The panini wasn't hot, which isn't good when eating fried anything and the sauce was minuscule at best. Wanted to like this place since it's down the hill from my house but my husband's lunch was also bland. Bummer for us but apparently we are in the monitory.", "This menu was extensive and unique, not that there weren't traditional items on the menu, but everything seemed to have a good little twist to it. We ordered the pasta rustica and the lamb burger with fries. The braised beef in the pasta was tender and delicious. The whole dish was made of simple ingredients, but they worked perfectly together. The lamb burger cooked medium rare was one of the best I've had in town. My girlfriend doesn't care for lamb burgers much, but she had about a third of this one and said she'd order it again for herself.\n\nOverall great atmosphere, great menu, large portions, and a good wait staff. We'll definitely be coming back", "This is a brand new restaurant in town and the food is great! I love the curry ketchup!!! The waitress is very friendly and she checked back on us almost every 5 mins!!! Reasonable price and we will come back for sure ;)", "We went here for a friends birthday on a Wednesday. \n\nFood was delicious and very reasonably priced (entrees ranging from $10-$20). They had large variety of options, mainly American style with a modern twist. I tried the fajitas and steak Gorgonzola pizza, both were very tasty. \n\nThe ambience also was very nice. Moderately lit and well decorated. It had the perfect feel for a birthday, but I think it can also convert well to date night or casual dinner out with friends. \n\nEveryone has a great time, and most people in our dinner party wanted to comeback. I'm really hoping they start a happy hour!", "Fantastic food and excellent service in a friendly atmosphere. A must visit for everyone." ]

They also have a sandwich with turkey, cinnamon cream cheese, walnuts, and mayonnaise on raisin bread that's served with a cup of delicious tomato basil bisque soup. The breakfast/brunch menu includes omelets, breakfast burritos, quiche, and waffles.

There on mother's day but it did not feel too kid friendly, but that was more the clientele than the restaurant.

He stoped, came out to talk to us, and gave our daughter a popsicle, but still managed to get our food cooked pretty fast. I noticed many locals had called their order in. We will do that next time because with only one person working it could get backed up if they were real busy. No seats are available, but it is worth stopping by and checking out. Definitly recommend, and I will eat there again.", "Went back another time and got a crab cake sandwich and my wife got a chicken sandwich. They were even better than the food we had a few days ago. If I could give it 6 stars I would. EAT HERE!!!!!!! YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!!!!!", "Shubee Shack is a great place for a quick stop. All the eats are made fresh.", "It's hard for me to give a walk up sandwich shop a five star, but this one deserves it. I am a local and have NEVER had anything but great food here. They will customize for you as well. Hole in the wall location, hall of fame sandwiches. A must do down here at the beach. No sitting here, just grinning!", "Wow, who would have thought this little shack could produce such great sandwiches, the Cuban was awesome! And my wife really liked the beef. We will be back again.", "This place has awesome sandwiches. I have been twice and got 3 different sandwiches. They were all stacked with bore's head meat. Love the 12 grain bread. Today asked the owner to make me a good healthy sandwich. He made a 12 grain thin slice turkey with jalapeño havardi cheese honey mustard thin green apple slices lettuce and tomato. This sandwich was amazing! Also had the cream of crab soup and was pleasantly surprised how loaded with crab this soup was. Easy to drive by this place I did the first time but find it and you will get a killer lunch. Wish they had a big picnic table or something seating is an issue so it's to go basically. Will return for sure", "I visited Shubee Shack for the first time today and must say my experience doesn't warrant rave reviews, like others on this site, but I am willing to try the place again. Here's why: The Sanwich-as recommended by others I ordered the daily special. The day's offering was shrimp salad on kaiser or hoagie roll. Although I've never woken to a craving for shrimp salad, I must admit I would welcome this chilled, fresh and succulent feast again; especially on a balmy beach day. I appreciated the chef's enthusiasm for his freshly made dish and enjoyed the addition of minced red onion. My palate wouldn't object to a little more zing, but based on ingredient quality and quantity it was an A+. Sadly the accompanying sandwich bread was stale; hard as a rock on the edges and too chewy. I would have preferred the shrimp w/o bread as it was too tasty to be hidden inside all that dough. The Fries: not something I generally get excited about, but I must say I was looking forward to having them \"Maryland\" style. Unbeknownst to me I needed to ask for this as my enormous fries came out plain including sans salt. It would have been great if the person taking my order had offered the different versions. By the way, when I approached the counter I said this was my first visit and asked what she recommended. I didn't get an answer. Maybe she's new. All in all, my 12.50 (including a can of soda) was a little too pricey in relationship to my experience. Had the bread been fresh, my fries been seasoned, and the establishments charisma matched that of the restos FB page, I'd feel better about the money spent. Maybe next time it'll be top notch." ]

They have weird hours, but amazing sweet treats of all varieties! They are experts when it comes to chocolate ganache and unrivaled with their Bavarian Cream!

Some of the best desserts in the city!", "On one of my birthdays, I made the inconvenient decision to buy myself not one, but TWO birthday cakes from here. I parked on Chestnut St. on a busy weekday afternoon and ordered my two favorite cakes, Hazelnut and Mocha.\n\nAlmost every year (until recently), my mom would come home on me and my sisters' birthdays with a cake from this pastry shop. The most common (and famous, I hear) is the Hazelnut cake. Here is a description from their website: \"3 layers of Hazelnut sponge cake with vanilla buttercream covered in chocolate shavings.\" Sounds good, doesn't it? It contains two things that I'm a sucker for: vanilla + buttercream. \n\nThe other one I've tried a few times and absolutely love is the Mocha Swiss Cake: \"3 layers of Vanilla-almond sponge cake covered in mocha buttercreams covered in cashew nuts.\" This cake is absolute WIN. I love the cashews. \n\nThey have other cakes with equally tasty descriptions that I have yet to try. Highly recommended.", "Yummy treats and the ability to get a birthday cake for the office in a pinch make SPS the go-to bakery for our office. Cupcakes can be a little dry - so get them early in the day. They MAY be under new management - not sure as some of the signage changed.\n\nNOTE: IT IS NOW CALLED SWISS HAUS.", "Wow- we bought the vanilla cake for a co-worker's party and it was crazy good! The buttercream and white vanilla combo melt in your mouth and the cake so is light!\nThe only downside is it tastes so good you won't be able to stop eating it!\nAlso- it kept perfect in the fridge overnight and tasted just the same the next day. \nI highly recommend Swiss Haus!!!", "So maybe I'm living in denial when I tell myself and others that I am not a dessert person. Yes I love cookies and ice cream, but cakes and pies and pots of cream with crispy burnt sugar tops are not my thing. I don't crave them, I pass on them all the time...except when they are from the Swiss Pastry Shop, now the Swiss Haus. My mom knew this and we'd always get a cake from here when I would visit, whether it was my birthday (as with my 35th which is the picture above) or some other event. I don't know the exact number, but we passed many bakery on our out of the way journey to get here...if you're driving, bring a friend so you can double park and run in quickly, parking is scarce. :)\n\nThe chocolates are amazing, the Italian Cremes out of this world, but the simple Rum Cake was my favorite. Vanilla sponge cake with rum infused butter cream frosting with cashews pressed into the sides :)", "The best bakery cookies I've ever had. There are always a ton of options to choose from, and they are all delicious. My favorite are the white chocolate dipped fudge cookies. People get really excited when I show up at a party with A Swiss Haus Box. When I show up without it, not so excited. \n\nI've only had their hazelnut cake by the slice and I was not at all impressed. It was really dry. This was back in the Swiss Pastry shop days, so maybe it's better now. Their cupcakes are good and cheap. I've never seen them get crazy with the flavors, but they do the basic chocolate and vanilla well. \n\nIf you are feeling for something a bit more exotic, try the clichy. It's pricier than the cupcakes, but oh. Goodness. You'll be wondering how you made it through your whole life without knowing the ganache covered, multi-layered joy that is the clichy. \n\nI love this place, I just really need to get over there early for doughnuts some day. As for the service, the people who work there are just lovely. \n\nMan. Now I really want a clichy.", "Swiss Haus is the only place I know with a decent priced cupcake. At $1.25, it's a tastycake price without the cellophane packaging. Problem is that it's not that tasty. The cake is a bit dry, and the frosting is plain buttercream...and i mean plain! I grew up eating the Swiss Pastry strawberry shortcakes and they were amazing! Unfortunately, the cake quality gone downhill since they switched ownership. The cake is a bit more dry and the cake to strawberries to cream ratio is not ideal. About 4:1:2. Gimme some strawberries!! \n\nOur office also gets a cake from there every few months for work anniversary/retirement parties, and so i've tried every flavor of cake and buttercream combo available. Nothing is amazing, but everything is priced like it is. And the cake is HEAVY in your stomach, not the feeling that you want on your birthday.", "3 stars for service/hours/ambiance but 5 stars for all the dessert's i've tried. \n\nTheir cakes are among the best in the city. Even though they do not look as sophisticated in terms of decoration, they taste wonderful. I had ordered a strawberry shortcake (with whipped cream, vanilla cake and strawberries) for a friends birthday get-together, and it was devoured immediately while a beautiful chocolate gold garnished cake from Miel stood next to it...remaining beautiful and uneaten past one slice. However, for larger cakes, you do need to give them advanced notice and they're hours are in general a pain...till 6 m-f and 4 on satudays, closed sundays. \n\nFor more individually sized treats, their frangipane and horseshoe cookies are both deliciously almondy...although i always stick with these tried and true favorites, they have rows of all kinds of shortbread and more traditional cookies.\nThey seem to have added some seating and tables recently, but the staff exactly stuck me as welcoming or friendly enough that I would stick around.", "How this place gets so many stars I just don't know. Devil's food cake with cheap icing and chocolate shavings does not make a great cake. If you are in a pinch for a good cake go to the Whole Foods at 20th & Callowhill and they can generally letter up a birthday cake for you with a quickness." ]

[ "I went to American Social tonight for dinner with the family. We were seated outside in a really nice bar/dining area that's updated and has a great nightlife feel. Ordered the spinach and artichoke dip- it was spectacular and a great portion size. The bread that came with it was just ok, but the dip itself more than made up for that. My husband ordered a Bourbon Thyme cocktail which really was closer to an Old Fashioned, which was good, but he didn't really get the \"thyme\" flavor in the drink.My main entree the Black Truffle Rib Melts- it was really deliciously prepared pulled braised short rib w/ truffle aioli and gruyere on toasted sourdough, which came with fries. It was absolutely delicious. My one critique on this meal, it came with fries- as in like maybe 8 fries. My husband ordered the Ropa Vieja tacos, also really good. The meat was tender and flavorful w/ grilled corn and chipotle aioli. One critique, the taco shells were obviously homemade white corn, but were really tough. Overall the food was very good and well seasoned, just some fine tuning would make it perfect. Swanky new little place is worth checking out!", "Horrible experience here last night with our group of 8. Not what Tampa needs -- another loud, overpriced burger joint.\n\nMeal took over an hour (just burgers), drinks were 30 minutes if you could find the server, another 30 minutes to get the check and another 30 minutes to pay it. We let managers know, and they did nothing. At one point they told us they would comp \"some things\" for the bad experience. By the time the check came, they actually added things on (nothing comped). We were so fed up with everything, we just paid it and left. \n\nWe all agreed that we would have been far better off to cook at home. The burgers were good at American Social, but not worth the wait or all the screwups to our order. Drinks are way overpriced. We sat inside, and it was so loud you could not talk.\n\nWe live on Harbour Island and hoped this would be a place we could enjoy. No so.", "Well, it's finally here...the opening was a blast! Halloween costumes all around and Happy Hour drinks till closing...Oh Yeah! The food we ordered was so yummy called Truffle Melt sandwich. Mike B who served our food with a big smile made sure we got everything we need before he left us. I asked for aioli on the side for my Truffle fries and he gladly came back with a black truffle aioli....big score for excellent customer service and very tasty too. Melissa served our drinks and she's very welcoming too and great service. Bar was so busy tonight but they were able to handle the crowd tonight as I've been looking around observing. Successful opening for their first social party on this Halloween Day! Oh, you can also have special events and can make reservation for a private space if you have big groups. Just look at their website for more information. Well done AmSo! ..and now I am hooked! Big plus....a 10 min walk from where I live! A must see place when in Tampa! Can't wait to try their Brunch this coming Sunday!", "The food is A-mazing! The place couldn't be more beautiful! Finally a place to have a good brunch on the water in Tampa. See ya Sunday American Social! Your my new favorite place", "Extremely well appointed, love the design and layout, beautiful setting. Get that it just opened so there are some growing pains but the bartenders on the outdoor patio aren't the friendliness/attentive - need to work on that. You can literally sit for 10mins and there is never any eye contact, you need to ask! Again, I have hope, beautiful spot but they need to get it together in terms of service!", "This is a good spot to have drinks. Good environment. The food is subpar at best. Overpriced. They try to do everything homemade but it isn't good. We tried 4 different dishes and none were good. They were just ok, definitely overpriced for the quality/taste. I would return for drinks but not to eat", "I was so excited to have another new restaurant open near us, but this was such a disappointment food-wise. Everything was sub-par bar food but priced higher than most of the restaurants that are actually good in South Tampa. I would go back just for drinks, but that's it.", "Went on Monday for the Grand Opening.. I expected service to be somewhat slow since it was the first day, so no concerns there. My friend ordered sweet potato fries, she was told it would be $3 extra. When she received her bill, she was charged $7 for the sweet potato fries....When asking the waitress why it wasn't the $3 she was told, the waitress simply said \"oh yeah sorry I was wrong\" - didn't offer to change it to the $3 that she was told. You should not be telling your customer one thing, and then taking it back afterwards. \n\nOn Thursday, I decided to give this place another try.. I wanted to order take out and bring it back to the office. I searched for the menu online, only to see that there was not a menu online, and I would have to look at the menu when I got to the restaurant to order. This was not a problem for me UNTIL the hostess said that people ordering takeout could not see a menu and that I should look online. At this point, I was fed up with the rude service so I walked away. \n\nI understand that this is a new restaurant, but I think the staff needs a hard lesson how to treat their customers. I was excited for this to open since I live on the island and can walk here. If I return, it will only be during happy hour and I will not be ordering food.", "Great new spot! This view is absolutely amazing any time of the day. The food is to die for - everything is fresh and handmade! Chicken B.L.A.T. and the truffle melt are my favorites and the craft cocktails are delicious. Cant wait to come back!", "If I had to title this review it would be called \"Seventh Circle is Hell\". Rudest bar staff in the world. I'm not sure how I ordered two rounds of the exact same drink and there was a $10 difference in the cost of the rounds. The second bartender demanded a card before she would even pour my drinks, when I said I was paying cash she literally ripped the bills out of my hand and then said \"do you want the change?\" Yes, I want my $15 change for two drinks, you lunatic. Get a clue. Get a new bar staff. This is unforgivable." ]

This is one of my favorite spots to hit up when I'm feeling too hungry for cereal and too lazy to make something hearty. The food is awesome (I've tried everything from pancakes, which are some of the best around, to omelets, wraps and sandwiches) but the service is out of this world. Try to get a table in Sarah's section - she deserves a major raise because she is awesome. It can get crowded at prime brunch time so be prepared to wait - but there is a gazebo and park area outside (as well as plenty of metered parking) that's perfect to pass the time away as long as it's warm.", "The service was great, very friendly, the manager (a stout bearded man) even said \"bye now\" when we were leaving. \nFood was just OK. I got the fried egg and cheese sandwich on wheat toast. Basically I could make it way better at home and I am no super chef. The toast was barely toasted, the eggs were hard and the cheese was tasteless American slice. In the past I have had the banana challah French toast and that was awesome so I am a bit conflicted on how to rate this place.\nThe atmosphere is comfortable and the waitress we had was really great. I say try it but don't get your hopes up too high.", "It was pretty exciting when West Avenue Grill opened up considering the lack of good eateries in the neighborhood. I've eaten here for brunch, lunch, and dinner on numerous occasions. The food is consistently good and there are yummy seasonal options that they add to the existing menu. Sometimes, the service leaves something to be desired if you get stuck with some high school newbie. There can definitely be a wait when all of the blue-haired ladies decide they want to lunch (or see a movie at the theater down the street). They offer a decent array of beers beyond the standards that most restaurants carry. The outdoor seating for warm weather is a plus as well.", "A nice little restaurant in Jenkintown right off Old York Road on West Avenue, hence its name...owned by a family from my synagogue who also owns Max and David's in Elkins Park. I've only ever been to West Avenue Grill once, but I will always remember how amazing their mile high french toast (made with challah bread and garnished with caramelized bananas) was. It happens to be one of their signature entrees, and I can see why. Their hours are interesting though; they are open for breakfast/lunch/brunch,etc. and close around 2pm (however, they allow customers to stay and eat if they are seated prior to that time) and then reopen in the evening around 6 or 7pm for dinner. Though for anyone who is looking for a nice place to have brunch on a Saturday or Sunday morning, provided it's not too crowded, West Avenue is the place to go, and a nice plus is that it's surrounded by some nice little shops you can check out before or afterwards.", "Very nice little place tucked away in a small street. It;s surprising how many people know about this place. The wait can get pretty long, especially on a Sunday morning. It's worth the wait though. \n\nNormally I would go there with my girlfriend and she would always order the french toast with caramelized bananas and I would order the breakfast burrito. We both have had other things on the menu but always tend to go back to these two.", "Trying to stay true to the rating stars... Meh. I've experienced better. While not entirely bad food, just not impressive for the price you pay. Our child had a kids meal, $6 for Mac and Cheese that tasted exactly like the microwave in a little plastic cup variety. My cheesesteak was ok, but I can go down the road to the McKinley market and get a much better one for literally half the price.\n\nGenerally very nice staff, even when they get busy.", "West Avenue Grill has to be one of my favorite eating spots in Jenkintown. \n\nThey have a reasonably priced menu, the food is always fresh and tasty. \n\nI reccommend the Turkey Burger--- Delish, moist, and the bun is perfectly toasted. The staff is super friendly, I never leave disappointed. \n\nFor a healthy option try the pine forest salad with grilled chicken and balsamic vinagarette, soooo goood. The chicken is perfectly grilled, it has pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, cranberries, and feta cheese over spinach and good romaine lettuce.", "I used to go to this place all the time when I was in high school. Just got back into the area, and decided to show it off to some of my friends from afar as a great place to eat breakfast, remembering how good the Mile High was.\n\nI don't know if I just had poor taste in food back then or if the place has gone down in quality over the years, but I don't think I'll be coming back, although our waitress was *extremely* nice. Our tip reflected the quality of her service, not the quality of our food. \n\nThe BLT I ordered was soggy, bacon clearly overcooked and not warm, with wilted lettuce and unripe tomato, along with a tiny bag of chips. \n\nMy friends ordered the waffles and the Mile High, which were good but unremarkable; the Mile High I remember was mouth-watering just to look at; this one was soggy, the french toast an unpleasant pale shade and the bananas sliced in chunks, so that the whole thing kind of looked like magnified baby food. \n\nExtra charge for real maple syrup, also, which I guess is not a big deal.. but it's that kind of detail that makes a place memorable, and it would have been something special to make the rest of the mediocre food stand out.\n\nI imagine that most people would have put this first, also, but judging by the immense popularity of this place, I'm graciously going to assume that it was a freak thing? A crushed cricket on the bottom rim of my friend's plate. Yech. Do you know what it's like to eat a BLT sandwich after finding a crunchy insect has been in the kitchen? Let me give you a basic idea - try to imagine the opposite of awesome.\n\nI was really looking forward to returning to the West Ave grill; whenever I would walk past and see it bustling with happy business, it made me feel proud of the little Jenkintown business that could. So it was a pretty crappy surprise to find that most of the special had left this little place. Be good again, please??", "This place has decent meal options and lots of seating space.\n\nService tends to be slow. And it does get crowded around brunch time on Sundays.

I'm going to guess there were six entree choices, two or three sides, vegetable samosas, some other fried ball of veggie bits. I should really carry a pad and paper to these kinds of things. \n\nLike James mentioned there are lots of veggie friendly choices so it's a good place for meat/veggie discordant groups to go. \n\nI remember reading in a review of the place I tried yesterday that they played a muzak version of \"The Final Countdown\" and it must be something common amongst Indian restaurants because we were treated to a listening while we were here.\n\nGreat service, good food, looking forward to going back.", "We have eaten here twice, including today.

I paid slightly more than I would have liked to, but it was worth it. \n\nThe raita was heavily flavored with cumin, which I love, and although it was a bit saltier than I was expecting, I found that saltiness to be an excellent balance for the naan bread. The naan was very large, soft, and fluffy; some of the best I've ever had. \nThe saag paneer (creamed spinach with spices and cheese) was also delicious.

Of course, we are no strangers to bad Indian restaurants. \n\nBut usually even at the worst Indian restaurants we visit, at least one item - maybe it's the Tandoori Chicken or Alu Baigan or the humble Masala Chai - is nice.\n\nShere-E-Punjab, however, belongs to that unfortunate category of Indian restaurants that has absolutely no reason for existence. Not a single item we had at this so-called Indian restaurant was even passable let alone tasty.\n\nChicken Biryani was an utter travesty of a dish. Lacking any flavor or adequate rice, it was enough to drive an Indian to despair. Plain and simple, it was just partially cooked chicken. That too, just 2 small pieces.\n\nNaan is our favorite Indian bread and we usually gravitate to it when we dine out. The Naan we had at Shere-E-Punjab should easily count among the worst Naans we've had in over four decades. It was really over-cooked. \n\nBut the booby prize for the worst dishes at Shere-E-Punjab were shared by Chicken Makhani and Palak Panneer.\n\nAlthough the menu describes Chicken Makhani as \"Boneless tandoori chicken cooked in creamy tomato sauce and butter\". It was a bland, bad-tasting under-spiced mess.\n\nPalak Paneer was equally pitiful. The Paneer (cheese) was way too hard and the overall effect was of chewing on a rubber at the end of a pencil.\n\nWhen we placed our order, we had requested that we'd like everything hot and spicy. But what landed on our table was extra mild.\n\nWas the chef on some kind of strike or protest? When we asked the female mgr. she stated - \"just add some green chutney and it'll be OK!.\n\nKulfi is a sweet dish from West Bengal in the Eastern part of India. One of our favorite sweets, we've had it countless times to great delight.\n\nBut what appeared on our table was a little mass of white custard pudding in a little plastic container smaller than a golf ball. It was a vile, sour-tasting liquid that had as much resemblance to milk as mud has to caviar.\n\nForget palatable.\n\nMuch of the food at Shere-E-Punjab is barely tasteful. Watch out for your cholestrol level- everything is filled with butter. Our meal at Shere-E-Punjab in Media, P.a. was misery of an order that we'd seldom experienced at a dining table. - Yeah, It sucked that bad. \n\nDon't fall for the dark ambient room, its a ploy so you don't know what you are getting on your plate. Hope this review was helpful.\n\n\"Turbo cop\"", "It's shocking to me to read the bad reviews of Shere-E-Punjab, because every time I've been here it's been a great experience with good service and delicious food.\nI've been here twice for the lunch buffet, which is a great deal. Last Sunday I went here for dinner with my family. The one slightly annoying element of our visit was that we had called the night before to make reservations, but when we showed, the restaurant was unaware of them and had no tables set up to fit 7 people (other reviewers have mentioned the small size of the restaurant). It ended up working out though because my parents were late, and by the time they arrived a table had cleared.\nWe got the veggie samosas as an appetizer (very spicy! yummmm) and then each got different dishes to make our own kind of buffet by passing stuff around. Vegetarian dishes ordered: palak paneer, dum aloo, and navrattan korma (very buttery, very good!). Meat dishes ordered: lamb vindaloo, lamb korma, chicken makhani, and malai kabab. All of these were delicious except for the malai kabab, which was a bit dry. We also got the mixed bread basket, which had plain naan, garlic naan, onion kulcha, and tandoori roti. Every time I've been to Shere-E-Punjab the naan has been very fresh, and brushed with a little ghee. When you go for lunch they bring it to your table instead of having it on the buffet, which is a nice touch.\nOverall, I'd recommend Shere-E-Punjab to anyone, and it's one of my top dining choices in Media.", "I've been going to this restaurant for a few years now and have even recommended it to friends of mine. On 2/7/09 I made a reservation for a party of 3 for 8:00pm. Our party arrived about 5 minutes before our reservation and were greeted by an overcrowded waiting area. We tried to get somebody's attention to let them know we were here (a waiter, hostess anybody) but nobody even acknowledged our presence or anybody else waiting for that matter. After about 15 minutes a table for 4 opened up which we thought would be ours, but a waiter arbitrarily gave that table to a party of 2 (who didn't even have reservations) without even asking us about our reservation. I had to fight my way through the crowd to grab the attention of a waitress and told her we had 8:00 reservations, to which she replied she \"didn't do the seating\", and just went to the back. We weren't seated until after 8:30. \nThe food was decent, but I am hesitant to come back or recommend Punjab anymore based on their total lack of guest service and their lackadaisical attitude toward reservations. They know how to take reservations, they don't know how to HOOOOLD reservations. If they're going to ignore reservations they should not take them in the first place.", "So you want to go dinin Friday night right? So you make reservations for Shere-E-Punjab. Give them a call and they will gladly take your reservation for 8pm on Friday. You are all set! WRONG! Basically this place takes your reservation but they do not keep it. My party arrived promptly at 7:55pm. The small waiting area was very crowded. I got through the crowd and told an employee that we had a table for three reserved for 3 at 8pm. I went on to say to this employee that I understand that you cannot sit us right away because I can clearly see it is busy. I asked the 2 people in front of the crowd if they had a reservation. They said no. So I go back to my party behind the crowd. Finally, after 10-15 minutes, a table opens up with room enough for 4 people but they give it to the 2 people in front of the crowd. This place says they take reservations but it does not matter. It is basically 1st come 1st serve. Just stand in front of everyone and you will be seated 1st! I would not be ripping this place if they just did not advertise that they take reservations. I will not be returning to this place.

I so longed for a taste... \n\nI gathered up my courage and asked if they had any smaller samples (thinking there was no way they would slice into this, well, magnum opus in my mind, because they were actually opening the next day and surely it was meant for tantalizing display on the morrow.)

This place is absolutely precious. The best way to describe the store is that it looks like you stepped into a doll house decorated by Pottery Barn. The Cake Bake hasn't even opened yet which means everyone in Indy should start counting down the days until they do. \n\nThe Cake Bake is a high-end bakery that specializes in anything sweet: cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, etc. They bake everything in their kitchen (which has a large glass window so you can peak in whenever you like) and the result is fresh desserts that are out of this world. In addition, they will be offering a wide variety of wine, champagne and coffee. \n\nI stopped into the store with a friend and got a sneak peak even though it is still closed (*let it be noted that I'm a college student who they by no means had a reason to impress). We walked in and were instantly greeted by the staff and given a quick tour. We were told that when they open they will offer private parties, wine tastings and in-store dining. They went out of their way to accommodate the two of us, even though they were busy with opening the store. \n\nI don't even know what I ate, but I do know that it was amazing. The best way to describe the dessert was that it was a layered cake with sheets of cookies on top of a chocolate mascarpone mousse. My friend got a red velvet cupcake that she said blew Flying Cupcake out of the water. We sat and ate at one of their tables in the front of their darling store. The dining area has benches lined with adorable pillows and granite café tables perfect for sitting and mingling for hours. \n\nNow I'm no expert, but in a time with many people trying to open their own stores and promptly closing them up, I think The Cake Bake will thrive. I urge anyone in the area to hurry in once they open because I have a feeling there will be lines out the door once every one hears about this precious and delicious new bakery.", "Sha-zam! They're open! Caramel cake is the perfect mix of thick solid icing with cake sturdy and crumby enough to bear it. Heavenly! Coffee is smooth, silky. I hate bitter coffee with sweets.

The interior is even more spectacular in person and there just isn't any place like this in Indy. \n\nUnfortunately, I had a limited amount of time so I was not able to explore as I hoped. I was overwhelmed by the goodies displayed in the case. Deep dish pies, chocolates, caramel cake, chocolate cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and champagne. Yes, you read that correctly champagne. It was tough deciding what to try, but I chose the chocolate mint cake, a cup of white tea, and a gingerbread cookie to go. If you are a tea fan, they have a nice variety of black, white, and herbal teas. The staff was courteous and pleasant. I really like their adorable uniforms. I had work to do so I was glad to know they offered free wi-fi. They have seating in the front and back of the building. They have a cozy area in the back with a fireplace. \n\nI couldn't wait to take the first bite of my cake. Mmmmmm. It wasn't heavy, the icing was light and the peppermint was not overwhelming. The cake was a tad dry because it sat uncovered for a bit. My tea was lovely. I was so disappointed when I had to leave. It is such a warm and inviting place. I can't wait to return. I can see myself coming here to read, work, or enjoy time with friends. \n\nI bet you a slice of their award wining chocolate ganache cake that this will be the go to place for many to satisfy their sweet tooth.", "This place has some serious potential!! I think with just opening they have a few kinks to work out, but the overall atmosphere and idea is great. The desserts are beautiful and decadent, but what are they? I wish they had signs by each cake or dessert saying what it is, so hard to ask for help just to see what something is. I had some coffee and a truffle and LOVED both, but I may have tried something else if I knew what things were or what was available. Also there was just a lot of commotion going on and I wasn't sure if I seat myself, wait to be seated, order at the table?? Too many people standing around and not enough really contributing to the work. \n\nWith all this being said.. you still need to go and experience the luxurious cake bake shop!

The dining area is very clean and your food is delivered to your seat. I will definitely come back here.", "(3.5) ~ good overall food & service, but being that it was Opening Wknd, it wasn't up to \"Smashburger\" standards. My advice for the first (2) weeks of any opening: 1.) Bring over experienced Managers / Workers from the Radnor store; 2.) Hire extra workers to help out during Busy Time Periods(i.e. Lunch; Dinner; etc.) 3.) Make sure there's a Manager walking around during these Busy Times, as they were getting crushed keeping up with orders, clearing tables, not taking the number cards, etc. and the result was many \"order mistakes\". Note: I don't blame the new workers, but rather the owners/managers. Hopefully they'll get better as \"Smashburger\" is a GREAT Burger Chain.", "We've given them two chances and we won't be back. First time, my husband stopped on his way home from work and we did not place the order ahead of time. The wait was so-so, food was so-so, and overall we weren't blown away. Second time, we placed our order via their website. There was no wait, the food was very disappointing (fried pickles were incredibly salty and ruined the taste of our other food), and we decided we wouldn't be eating there again. There are too many choices around the Malvern area to waste our $ at Smashburger.", "It was a little pricey for a burger joint but there was a ton of options on the menu and the service was excellent. Our food came out very quickly and there was plenty of staff keeping the place clean. I can see it being very crowded at lunch and diner time though.", "The food and ambiance are really great. I love the avocado burger and the smash fries. The shakes are great, too. The place has been totally picked both times I was here, and both times there was only person on register making the line take forever to get through. I really want the place to do well, but they need to be using both registers in order to be successful. C'mon, Smashburger, you can do it!", "I love this place! This is my favorite of the \"reimagined\" burger joints; their smash fries are delicious and I don't get a sick tired feeling after it you might expect after eating a burger and fries. \nThe bbq chicken sandwich with fried onions is a must.\nThe malvern location is very fast and clean inside", "So so so tasty!! The options were great, the food was great, and the service was great. Not great? The wait and the line. It was insane. Hopefully it'll calm down soon, but I can't wait to go back. (the avocado club burger is my soul mate.)", "I've had better burgers, but this place is fairly fast. Unfortunately there is no combination meal, so it was rather higher than my normal lunch prices. You do get unlimited drink refills,though. Once you order, they give you a stand that has a number. Then a server bring the food over. Because this is my first time there, I went with the standard signature burger with smash fries.\n\nThe burger was very greasy. No wonder they put their burgers on thick buns. The smash fries was sitting in a pool of olive oil. I knew going in that when deep fries are slathered in olive oil, there is a chance of more than normal oil left over. This was a salty mess.\n\nI'd go back and order something other than a burger, though.", "In the world of Five Guys, Cheeburger Cheeburger, Shake Shack, etc., Smashburger most definitely holds its own. \n\nThe only way I know how to judge this place is to directly compare it to those experiences since they're all nearby. \n\nIn burger quality, I'll put it even with Cheeburger. I'll put it above Shake Shack. I'll put it below Five Guys. \n\nIn the ability to customize your burger, better than Shake Shack and Five Guys. Not quite at the level of Cheeburger. \n\nOverall menu choice, Smashburger is a little better than Shake Shack, a lot better than Five Guys, and not as good as Cheeburger. \n\nIn quality of service, they're even with Five Guys and Shake Shack as you order at a counter and then wait. But they're nice enough to bring you your food as those places won't. Cheeburger is a better quality service experience with the waitress service. Smashburger is more cramped than the other places which is a detriment. \n\nBut the overall quality of food is good enough to be worthy of 4 stars. Overall Cheeburger has a little more to offer for the money and Five Guys is a better quality burger. But I'd come here over Shake Shack any day.", "I'm disappointed for my first smash burger experience. I ordered the burger with Cucumber Spinach & Goat Cheese online for pickup, brought it back to the office to find out there is no cheese on it. Pretty disappointed since I ordered it because of the cheese. Extremely disappointed, would not recommend." ]

[ "I feel like Little Kitchen is one of the few Chinese places around this area, mainly due to it's menu, but I can't be certain. The reason why I say this is because Little Kitchen offers the run of the mill Chinese fare, Thai food, Japanese sushi, and American selections. \n\nWanting to try some Chinese in Philadelphia I ordered some Kung Pao Chicken and beef fried rice. It was late, but delivery was quick. The chicken was good, tender, and the sauce was a nice consistency but not spicy, almost sweet. The rice was not so great, dry and the beef was a bit chewy. \n\nTheir menu says they have parking in the rear.", "Little Kitchen of Bala, is located in the Wynnefield neighborhood \nof Philadelphia. It is actually on the corner of 50th & City Avenue, in the middle of a commercial shopping district (ACME, Target, Bala Cynwyd Shopping Center all within a mile) and about 4 blocks from St Joseph's University.\n\nAlthough Little Kitchen has a huge dining room, I tend to get take out exclusively. \n\nLittle Kitchen has an extensive menu - and the official name is Little Kitchen of Bala Japanese and Asian cuisine. That is because they have a Sushi bar, Japanese dishes, Chinese, 10 Thai dishes (Pad Thai, Pad See Eiw, etc) and even Polynesian Fried Rice. \n\nThai food - my favorite Thai dish is Pad See Eiw, and Little Kitchen does pretty well with this dish. But, my fave Thai dish here would have to be Shrimp Pad Thai. They don't skimp on the Shrimp and there is plentiful to share with another person. \n\n\nThe Sushi is fresh and tasty and there's plenty of choices - I usually opt for the Tri-color Sushi (which consists of 3 Yellowtail, 3 Salmon and 3 Tuna), plus, it comes with Miso soup. \n\nAll and all, Little Kitchen prepares interesting dishes,has a good selection, decent prices and a nice family-owned restaurant.\n\nPS It's nice for me too, since it's just across the street from my apartment. Yeah, I always wanted a bar of that sort (or coffee would be good too!) at my corner!.....", "I'm always leery of a restaurant, especially an Asian one where they mix several kinds of food together. At this place you can get, Japanese, Thai, and Chinese from what I've seen on the menu. From what I've gathered of places like this they do all the food ok, and known really good, this place falls into that category. \n\nThis is a Chinese restaurant that pretends to make other food. The Chinese fare is good and standard, but the Thai food i got was terrible and i could not finish it. I got the Pad Thai which was basically a Chinese dish called Pad Thai, and because i was expecting Pad Thai like you get in a real Thai restaurant i was very let down. Don't be shocked if you order something not Chinese from this place and it comes tasting like Lo Mein.", "The best thing I've had here is the Black Bean Chicken. It is DELICIOUS, and comes with all kinds of vegetables! I usually just stick to broccoli, carrots, onions, peppers, and mushrooms. They offer a lot of atypical chinese entrees.", "I live in Bala Cynwyd, so this is one of my go-to-take out spots. The other day, though, I went for lunch with my daughter and was very surprised on a Saturday ay noon to see the place so empty. Actually, unless you are heading east on City Ave, and know the shortcut through the Muffler place parking lot, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find the ample parking lot in back. Otherwise you really need to know your back roads.\n\nAnyway, about the food. My daughter is not really adventuresome. The menu is actually HUGE and spans classic Cantonese/Szechuan, Japanese (Sushi/Hibachi/Teriyaki/Bento etc.) and some classic Thai (like Pad Thai.) \n\nThis is one of the few places who keep their $5.50 lunch specials (inlcudes a soda) running on a Saturday instead of jacking you $13 bucks for exactly the same food. A shared order of steamed dumplings (thicker skinned than I like, but my girl loves them that way) came with the traditional soy-based dipping sauce with a surprise touch of some fresh-chopped cilantro tossed in. Six for less than 5 bucks was a good deal for an app. This is the kind of stuff that differentiates Little Kitchen from your typical 'hood Chinese. Wonton soup was darker than average with a richer flavor then typical. Entrees (girl had sweet and sour chicken, I ordered Hot and Spicy Beef) came with heaps of fresh fried rice. Onions and other vegetable matter were very fresh. Hot Spicy beef had a very unique sweet sauce that left a nice after burn on the tongue.\n\nService was polite and friendly, and food came out QUICK and too hot to eat immediately.\n\nI am wary of sushi in a place that is not hopping busy, but I suspect they must do a lot of takeout. In any event, you cannot go wrong for the lunch specials, but I will absolutely return to try some of their more ambitious fare (Japanese and Thai.)", "Hated this place I went in to try an egg roll and get a sushi roll and both were bad the egg was horrible and the sushi was chewy so I wasnt surprised that I was the only one there", "just one visit. \nGeneral Chicken and Sesame Chicken was ALL dark meat. That's a tell - they skimp on ingredients. Food tasted ok, but it lacked an love.\nONE GOOD THING - they have online ordering, unfortunately, it went downhill from there.", "I live in Bala Cynwyd, and as hard as it is to maneuver to park at this place, it is my \"goto\" Chinese for a quick Saturday lunch. It never seems particularly busy (which is the only reason I have never tried the sushi / sashimi) but given the freshness of the ingredients used in their standard Chinese fare, I am about to give that a try. Though I sometimes take out, I really prefer eating in, because the dishes I prefer here (Orange Flavor Beef and Sauteed Pan Fried Beef) are SO crispy, travel would spoil the experience. I usually NEVER order beef in Oriental restaurants (except Korean) because it is inevitably the cheapest round money can buy. Little kitchen EXCELS at beef, though my chicken dishes have always been quite good as well.\n\nI don't know why this was listed as \"Thai\" other than they have Pad Thai on the menu. This is really standard Chinese, though the chef is very competent at Bento boxes, and some Indonesian style curry, and stuff like Roti Canai. \n\n\nWhat impresses me is when I taste fresh cilantro, real garlic slivers, real scallions and fresh broccoli, bell peppers, etc. in a $10-12 dish. There is real attention to detail here, and crispy stuff is crispy, and soft stuff is soft. Food is served PIPING hot. Service is very friendly, and English is well-understood (though they seem very happy to accommodate attempts at broken Mandarin.) \n\nPortions are so big that two people can easily split an app and a single entree and leave satisfied. Maybe it helps to be recognized as a regular, but I have never been dissatisfied with a meal, and I've eaten at Yang Ming, San Kee, Suzanna Foo, Han Dynasty, and dropped a lot more $$$ and left less happy.\n\nThe only complaint I have is that when I order something \"extra spicy\" there may be an extra dried red and slice of jalapeno tossed in. I suspect the chef does not want to offend Western palates.\n\nAnyway, I have eaten in all the oriental restaurants on the Main Line and MOST of the well-know ones in Chinatown and S. Philly and I still come here at least once per month. Maybe I've been lucky with the dishes I've chosen, but I am ready to start checking out some of the less obvious ones.

It smelled pretty bad and I really don't see how they could have missed that. It's really a shame - I haven't been back since.", "I've been ordering from Little Kitchen for 3 years now, since I started working in Bala Cynwyd.

(Fainting couches line one wall). \n\nFull bar. \n\nYouthful bar staff.\n\nWhat I don't like:\n\nSo loud that I would not go there to eat. It is for drinking even though there is a menu.\n\nTheir specials are very expensive (compared to regular menu items). Ask for the prices as it is a surprise since their specials are not written down and the wait staff does not tell you unless asked (this is a trend game that I dislike about American restaurants). \n\nTheir regular menu is not as expensive but imagine seeing an item labelled \"Seared Scallop\" for around $15? Seems pricey for a scallop. \n\nSpecials are read to you by the waiter or waitress with no price information given. Since it is so loud you miss every other word so difficult to determine what is being offered.\n\nBeer selection was wide, but beer temperature was quite warm (This is Florida, not London, England).\n\nWait staff, while youthful and attractive, seemed novice and perhaps a little full of themselves.\n\nRecommended for: Friday happy hours, girls' nights out and those who are not concerned about dining value. Avoid if having a date night and you want to have a conversation. Perfect to take a boring person to as there is no way they can speak loud enough to bore you.", "Nice cozy place with a decent beet and wine selection.

Beach Drive needed something like it and especially a place that stays open until 3. I went on a Thursday night. The place is beautifully appointed and very upscale. \n\nAmazing beer cooler with an incredible wide and varied selection. Cocktails were well thought out when they created the menu. I had 2 very nice cocktails with muddled fruits and nice ingredients. Steep cocktail price of $10 so it keeps you more in check than I prefer. \n\nWe ordered 1 salad and 2 sharing tapas. We had the Beef Carpaccio and the Eggplant Caprese. Came in for dinner and at $15-17 per sharing tapa, I expected to be full. We walked out still hungry. With that said, food was very delicious and fresh. Nice wait staff from what we encountered. \n\nI will come back but not when I want a big dinner. I think the place will be great for drinks when the weather starts turning for \"fall\" and we can sit outside. Nice option to have that in St. Pete. \n\nFood wise tasty but more for a small (and expensive) bite. \n\nWe did not encounter it being loud like Michael stated on a Thursday. \n\n2 drinks, 2 apps, 1 salad - $70.00 before tip \n\nOverall - could be a romantic place for a \"tryst\" or great for a girl's night to catch up.", "Nice selection of beers on draught. Server Bill has a penchant for good beers and made some nice recommendations. \nLamb burger: delicious but my wife's whole shrimp on arugula with the Israeli couscous was even better", "A gorgeous spot with delicious food and lovely cocktails! I love the ambience, especially so much outdoor dining and lounging area. I'm working my way through the menu, and have really enjoyed everything I've tasted - the ingredients are fresh and interesting. Happy hour is great, and I love sitting at the outside bar - the perfect combination of outdoors and inside. Definitely worth a try!!", "Everything about this spot is genius... The people, the staff, the owners, the drinks, the food.... No mistakes were made! I am a true fan.... I will be here often!!! Thanks Tryst for a fabulous spot in Dtsp!!! You have elevated Beach Drive:-)", "First, the good. We ate outside which was nice. The food we ordered was very good. The bad. You are given a tiny menu with food that states its to share and prices for sharing. We ordered the special which was a dinner (THERE ARE NO DINNER PRICES ON THE MENU) and there is a reason for this. I had sea bass to the tune of $38 my date had Veal $42. The portions were very small. We are not big people. Do not go here if you are hungry or on a budget. This restaurant is way, way, over priced. You can do alot better elsewhere. My biggest complaint though is they are not forthcoming with the prices. If you order dinner you better ask what it will cost or risk heart failure when you get the bill.", "I would say this could be the best new restaurant addition to downtown saint petersburgs growing treasure of eateries. Our server was excellent and our foods was even better. That along with great company made for a great experience and evening. Also the decor really enhanced the atmosphere.", "Tryst has a great location on busy Beach Drive. The outside tables are very inviting on a nice evening. Inside is nicely decorated and has a fun vibe.\n\nWe were there just at opening, and the service had a little trouble getting into gear. But after a bit of a confusing start, things started to gel and they did a good job.\n\nThe food was delicious. Standouts were the corn chowder, the duck breast appetizer, and the scallop appetizer. The food is very rich and filling. So those items plus a salad and another appetizer were more than enough for two of us. We would have been fine sharing the chowder, the salad, and an appetizer each.\n\nThe drinks were also very good. Our favorite was the signature \"Tryst\" cocktail.\n\nI look forward to our next visit.", "On a street littered with restaurants, this little Gastro is a nice spot to grab some drinks and maybe a bite to eat. A decent sized bar is the center of attention and it extends outside with a few spots to sit. Half of the seating is outside on the sidewalk. The dinner menu is small but has some interesting dishes. We tried the corn chowder that had a little warm crab salad. Taste was good and it hit the spot with a little bread on the one cold and windy night we were there. The Roasted Duck breast had some crunchy skin and was nicely cooked. It came with sauteed spinach and steamed wild rice, all in one small pile. The Pan seared scallops were cut in half (4 halves) and served ontop of corn and poblano relish with a little bacon scattered around. Both of the appetizer plates were very small for the $14 price point. Apps and entrees ranged from $12 to $35. We also tried the Peach Cobbler and Chunky Monkey cheesecakes, whcih were very good. \n\nThey also have beer, wine, and specialty drink menus which we didn't get into much. We thought we would save that for another trip! Service was excellent and should be on a Monday night. Overall, a great experience." ]

[ "This sweet, fancy, darling, chic (I can keep going, really) French bakery is finally open in St. Louis! Situated on Tower Grove Ave, you can't miss the pale yellow outline on the outside of the place along with the gorgeous light-blue logo. I wasn't sure what to expect upon walking in... but I'm sure glad I decided to stop by.\n\nThe inside of La Patisserie Chouquette is absolutely stunning. White walls, glass cases full of pastries and pretty things, and little tables and chairs situated throughout in case you want to enjoy your pastries there instead of taking them to go. I highly recommend picking out some things and grabbing a coffee (they also have a cappuccino machine) and sitting down to enjoy everything while taking in the beauty of the place. I was so grateful for the kind employee who took me around the room to show me all of the offerings. And let me just tell you, you're going to want to try everything. Just wait until you see the case full of different macarons. \n\nI decided on a birthday cake cupcake (one of their more traditional offerings) as well as a lemon tart type dessert (I was a bad Yelper and didn't write down the name, but it's a French dessert.) Both were just wonderful, but the lemon tart was a show-stopper. It tasted like the best lemon meringue I've ever had sitting atop a snickerdoodle cookie. \n\nStop by solo to grab a few treats to try, or bring your mom, a girlfriend, or really anyone to enjoy everything this place has to offer. I love how unique it is and also how it forces me to try new desserts I otherwise wouldn't even know exist. \n\nHooray, St. Louis!", "Oh my goodness. This place could not ooze any more understated charm if it tried. Walking up to the front of the shop I felt like I was back at Laduree in Paris. The window display was simply beautiful. The inside decor, as well, was stunning. Simple white walls, original white tin ceilings, little tables and cafe chairs. The stars of the room, however, were the pastries within the cases and the fondant cakes showing impressive pastry art skill scattered about the room.\n\nAs a gluten-free gal there is a reduced amount of things I can eat at most bakeries. Being a french bakery, however, almost guarantees I will find a macaron....and find them I did. They are very good...my second favorite in town! Macarons are almost always gluten-free but I spoke with the pastry chef and he confirmed they were. Yay! He also noted other gluten-free items were the coconut mounds (they had a much fancier french name but do I remember it...non) and the baked yogurt cups.\n\nMy daughter and I met a friend here and found it to be a welcoming spot to spend a few hours, sip our latte (her) and gourmet hot tea (me) while nibbling on bites of sugar heaven and catching up. They only opened a few days ago but they had a steady stream of customers while we were there. I believe the word is spreading quickly about this hot new gem...and it is well deserved!\n\nThis place is worth a visit. Make sure you have some time to sit and soak up the wonderful atmosphere.", "Wow, am I in St. Louis or am I in Europe?\n\nSpacious, clean, elegant. The baked goods are spread out; as you walk around you discover lots of eye-catching things to eat. I setlled on something with a French name which I can't remember. It had a blackberry filling and was wonderful.\n\nLa Patisserie Chouquette also serves high tea. You need reservations, and you need to mention if you want Devonsire cream with your tea.", "3 words: flourless chocolate cake. That stuff was soooo good that i'm craving more as i type this. It was rich, decadent, and reasonably priced for how much cake i got. It was so rich, in fact, i was able to eat it over the course of a while... so WORTH IT!\n\nThe shop is super cute and fancy looking. The workers all know their stuff. They apparently \"have to\" try everything. \n\nThe macaron drawer is really cute and makes me think of fine jewelry -- especially the black glove the girl who was helping me used to bag the macarons. \n\nAll in all, this place is a pastel colored, gorgeous little world of delicious. I'll come back when i have more money.", "The pastries I've tried from La Patisserie Chouquette were flawless. Absolutely delicious and totally authentic. The retail space is adorable and the staff was friendly, too.\n\nThe prices, however, are ridiculous. Four dollars for one stuffed croissant? I get it, it's hand made, locally sourced, exceptionally high quality, you get what you pay for, etc., but Whole Foods charges 89 cents for one plain croissant. When your prices are four to five times that of Whole Foods, you might want to reconsider what you're charging.\n\nPerhaps their pricing is a blessing in disguise. If their pastries were reasonably priced, I'd be in their shop all the time stuffing my face!", "Not impressed!!! Pissy attitude and overpriced pastries that are no better then those you could buy at your local grocery store. Perhaps after reading all the 5 Star reviews I was expecting to be blown away. Well I was and it was with disappointment.\n\nFirst off the staff is very dry and look down their noses at you as if they are better then the customer they are waiting on and who is paying for their overpriced pastries. \n\nSecondly, even though some think the black glove they use to retrieve to macaroons from the case is cute, I thought it to be unhealthy. It is worn by multiple employees, waded up and thrown back into the drawer. It just made my skin crawl thinking how nasty and dirty that glove could be. We did try the macaroons and for being a signature item, again I repeat, I was not impressed. \n\nThirdly, the Easter Shortbread Cookies were kind of okay. The shortbread itself was good, but was ruined by a very unflavored icing. \n\nBest thing about this place is they serve Chauvin Coffee which in my opinion is the best coffee roaster in Saint Louis. \n\nThere are a lot better bakeries in our city that offer more flavor and bang for your buck then this place and they will be getting my business.", "The pastries are excellent. Some of the best you can get in St. Louis (especially the hazelnut Paris-something and Lemon Meringue Pate Brisse) I've been fortunate to try pastries in San Francisco and Paris and I'm thrilled to see this level of excellence in our city, especially Tower Grove. But the ambitions for the mood of Chouquette confuse class for pretension and ambition for fussiness. The employees seem uncomfortable and hovering. \nPlease get rid of the elbow-high black satin glove in the macaroon case. Let the employees relax and let us approach them. If possible take me out of this baby shower tea-party nightmare. \nChouquette could be a neighborhood gathering spot, but right now it's a place I can't get out of fast enough.", "Finally Croissant's that rival the ones in France. A few wonderful savory things and a whole spread of fantastic pastries from simple to elegant. Nicely decorated and very chic. Well Done", "Great place. Love how it is decorated. Very simple and French. I had a variety of their macaroons and found everyone delicious. This is definitely worth coming too. So glad we have a place like this in my neck of the woods. To all of my 'burb friends. It is worth the drive.", "What planet are the nay-sayers living on? Planet Starbucks (with their mushy, dry, tasteless croissants) or Planet Schnucks (Gasp! Unspeakable!) presumably. Any criticism of this food should ipso facto qualify the poster for a free psychiatric examination at the Mental Hospital on Delmar (can be arranged here). These are the first REAL croissants I've tasted in St. Louis since the demise of Marty's Cafe and Baking lo these many dark years ago. \n\nYes, they are expensive. Ever tried making crusty, flaky, buttery croissants at home?! It's incredibly time-consuming. And the ingredients cost. I imagine things could be cheaper. (Monsieur Chouqette, may I humbly suggest that you drop the pretentious, costly, and environmentally unfriendly white boxes in favor of la paperbag simple?) But quality costs. And, when it tastes really good and rich, you don't have to eat as much. One little pricey croissant suffices. Ever think about that? \n\nThe criticism of the service here is even more disturbing - disturbing for what it says about St. Louisians, that is. This place just opened for chrissake! They're in a neighborhood that few of you would even have ventured into a few years ago. Give them some time to work out the kinks. \n\nAnd for the record: the service was just fine when I went in there today. And I'm one cranky old fish!\n\nUpdate: After multiple visits, I gotta say that they are getting better and better. I wouldn't even bother with the macaroons - though that's where you get steered. Caramel cream cookies are a revelation. The found danish-looking thang with apple compote on it and custard inside was likewise a thrill. \n\nAlmond croissant is exceptional (even if a plain butter croissant is still my simple favorite.). \n\nThey seem to be getting better and better at the simple things too. Coffee, for instance." ]

[ "I can't remember exactly how my boyfriend-at-the-time and I stumbled upon the wonder that is Bittersweet Confections' chocolate, but I am forever grateful that we did. \n\nThis place is a hidden gem; a local confectioner whose handmade truffles are absolutely incredible. They come in flavors like Drunken Pear, Ginger, Creme Brulee, Bananas Foster and Sazerac, and even though they're like $3 apiece, they're more than worth it. \n\nSeriously. Go check them out. This will change your life.", "They are now at 725 Magazine Street, between Girod and Julia.\n\nThey make \"to die for\" confections - candied pecans, cherry almond chocolate bark, truffles, etc.\n\nThey have the best hot chocolate I've ever savored, and the barista remembered me on the second visit. You can enjoy it from cute tables with very funky chairs and a full view of Magazine Street.\n\nAnd cupcakes .... I ordered some red velvet cupcakes for my New Orleans expatriate daughter. When they learned that we were taking them on a trip, they gave us the icing separate in a tube along with instructions on how to keep it fresh until our arrival as well as a crash course in how to apply it once we reached our destination. Talk about going the extra mile....\n\nBittersweet Confections will let you put a smile on the face of all the chocaholics in your life!", "I'm really writing about the beverages. I came here because PJ's makes a nasty mocha (and even mangled a hot chocolate!) and I wanted to see how a chocolate confection place did with a mocha. I'm happy to say that it was very good. I get hot chocolate here fairly regularly (and love it when they put homemade marshmallows in it).\n\nI've sampled the candies and the samples have been good. However - and it's kind of a big one - the sweets seem really expensive. I understand gourmet chocolate, but I cannot understand how any brownie is worth $5. I tried a $3 cookie and was extremely underwhelmed and regretted spending that kind of money on an average at best cookie (PJ's has them beat on this one little thing!).\n\nSo I'll stick with my beverages and if I feel the need to buy chocolates as a gift will probably give a little $$ to Sucre's competition (which is very close to where I live). But as far as getting a snack once in a while, I can't justify $3 for a regular cookie.\n\nI also want to add that the staff is very pleasant. It's a nice, sweet store and I hope they make it work.", "We decided to take an alternate route back from Cochon Butcher to our hotel and stumbled across this small confectioner. I had a few spare microns of space in my stomach for something sweet, so we grabbed a filled lemon and a chocolate cupcake. The filled lemon was the better of the two. Both were fresh, delicious, and hit the spot. I wish we'd sampled some of the truffles but just didn't have room.", "Just happened to come across this jewel of confections and bakery goods at lunchtime. What a great experience.\n \nHandmade chocolates, truffles, King cakes, cupcakes and filled cupcakes, and much more. I had a cinnamon roll and the frosting was to die for. Pricing was reasonable, especially for the quality of their tender lovely confections. Service was friendly and helpful. I will return.\n\nOn a par with the \"Chocolate Truffle\" in Pt. Loma, CA.", "Truth be told, it was Mardi Gras and I was in need of a restroom. Badly. Bittersweet Confections felt like a great place to go, because I could get some kind of treat, too!\n\nI ended up with a coffee, and then the $5 credit card minimum \"forced\" me to order a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting. It was one of the best cupcakes I've ever eaten! The frosting was decadent- cream cheese based, fluffy, and the flavor was outstanding! I had a hard time sharing. \n\nWhen I come back next month I fully intend on trying out some of the other confections...and probably another chocolate/peanut butter cupcake!", "Looks and feels like your average cupcake/coffee shop, so nothing new to report there. But what sets this place apart is their cupcakes. They're fantastic! We've been to a lot of places in this country and tried a lot of cupcakes, and Bittersweet Confections has one of the best we've ever had!", "Delicious chocolates and cakes. Owner served us herself and was just as sweet and friendly. We will come back when in New Orleans. One note, she closes at 5:30 rather than 6:00. She said she will work on updating this on Yelp.", "We were visiting the area, and needed an afternoon pick me up. We stopped in and this place is quaint, and the food and drinks heavenly delicious. The owner was sweet and friendly. I had the iced latte, and a red velvet cupcake, it was moist, not overly sweet and the cream cheese frosting was perfect, not too sweet, perfectly balanced. My girlfriend has the chocolate chip cookie, her complaint was not enough chips, but she really likes chocolate. We ventured there another day and had the chocolate overload cupcakes, another perfectly balanced sweet, and again the iced lattes which were yummy and refreshing.\n\nI will plan on visiting , if I am ever in this area again.", "UPDATE (11/24)\n-----------------------------\nOkay this is the best coffee-shop in town period, I have switched jobs but not my coffee-shop so that is something.\nAlso, I ordered an egg-less cake from them and it was heavenly. Not many places can claim that in this city\n\nThis is what you need to do: Go to the farmers markets on Girod and Magazine early on saturday, then head over for waffles or a bagel or both.\nYou will thank me later.\n\n\nIts my regular place for coffee and bagel and it is one of the awesome places in the neighborhood to get both of them. \n\nThe staff is super-friendly (shout out to Cheryl, Andy, Linda and everyone :))\n\nRegular: Plain bagel, plain cream-cheese and americano with 2-shots\nRegular you can't miss: Yogurt \"perfect\" Parfait\n\nMust try: Dark chocolates or any chocolates really." ]

Mahi and the special, macadamia crusted cobia for mains were amazing. I just wish the hotel and beach bar would catch up in quality. The potential is there but the execution is lacking. Definitely recommend the rum fish though!", "I went to Rumfish within a week of it's opening. While the food was good, the service was awful. We waited over 40 minutes for our food, and the restaurant was not at all crowded. It took about 20 minutes to get our drinks and we never did get some items requested. It may have just been some growing pains that day, but I would not go back - even though the food was good, it was not great, and definitely not worth the price!", "We live near St Pete Beach and have come not to expect great food on the beach. We managed to get a reservation last night just prior to the public opening. We came primarily to see the elaborate aquarium set up and were delightfully surprised by how great the food was! Lots of nice touches including a menu illuminated by light.", "Was so excited about visiting, but was disappointed we could not view the main tank even though we drank and ate outside, main tank should have been designed for all to view immediately upon entry is my thought? Mai Tai did not live up too the flavors I read on your website and seemed to lack in alcohol effect. Chicken wings were split in two flavors and one came half was wrong, however waitress brought us the right order after we brought it to her attention, she did say she thought they looked orange that would have been a clue?? All wings needed to be cooked a little crispier, and a plate or bowl for bones would have been nice. We had to ask for water, it came without ice, hello we are in Florida? Calamari seemed to be the frozen circle rings only, again we are in Florida it should be authentic! Staff looked stressed around the deck bar. HORRIBLE choice for the waitresses outfit, in black, tight polyester, and heels, my gosh one of the poor girls ankles were covered in bandaids, again we are in Florida, should have chosen breathable cotton, loose and flat shoes because the last thing a customer wants is our food & drinks brought to us my a sweaty uncomfortable person whose feet are hurting which will also slow them down in service, think about really?? I had even thought about applying for job there, but could not work in that outfit or shoes. The restaurant has so much potential, just needs a few revisions, wishing you much success.", "Wow! what a great restaurant! Being a local, I knew to let them get the kinks out of the works so we waited a couple of weeks before trying it out. On a whim, last Sunday, I made a reservation for 4 at 8pm - at 7pm...was able to do it on line and was surprised that my time was available. I grabbed the family and headed to the Tradewinds resort . The valet was extremely polite, the hostess was cordial and seated us without the usual two drink minimum (20 minute wait, get a drink, and the table is ready in 5 minutes). Our waitress was attentive, and we loaded up with three apps, oysters, calamari, and ceviche. All were really good. The girls had the salmon, and the boys had the cobia. The smoked beet puree had such intense flavor and really accentuated the cobia. The atmosphere was enjoyable and the \"tanked\" fish tank lived up to the Guy Harvey hype. The only two downsides were that our waitress was a little too much in the turn 'em and burn 'em mode. She should have sensed our tempo instead of pushing for us to order our entre before the apps arrived and she should not have been so quick to remove the plates from our table while we were still noshing. Secondly, the price was a little high for what we received, but I also realize that we were paying for the ambiance. After dinner, we explored the aquariums, enjoyed the reggae music and photos of old Florida. The valet was as charming as he was upon arrival, and we left with a good experience. We'll be back soon.", "Spectacular! We have lived in St Pete for 7 years and every time our family comes to visit, they ask for the best seafood around. We have bounced around the city to a couple of decent spots but we finally feel like we have found our go-to for amazing food, drinks and a really cool experience. Since the opening, we have eaten breakfast, lunch and off of the late night menu and loved the food each time. We will certainly go back! And not to mention that The Sandbox out back had great food and awesome service too. We love the new deco by the pool and it has become our new weekend night-time hangout! Thanks for bringing sexy back to the beach!", "I have lived on St. Pete Beach for 15 years and like another writer put it, us locals have become accustomed to not expect great, even good food on the beaches. Well, I am here to say that the Guy Harvey, Rum Fish Grill has changed my opinion and expectations. This past Friday, I grabbed the wife and six year old son and headed down to the Rum Fish Grill for dinner. I made a reservation on line earlier in the day for a 6:30 PM dining experience. The on line Open Table system was easy to use and quickly confirmed our reservation.\n\nUpon arriving, the complimentary valet service is great! The valet drivers are friendly and courteous. Upon walking into the restaurant the first thing that catches your attention the minute you walk in the front door and approach the hostess stand is the awesome gigantic fish tank and yes, the very friendly hostess team. My son was in awe when he saw that fish tank as was I even though my wife and I were among the few hundred that got to see it a month earlier at their private viewing party, this tank is still amazing and one can't help but stare at it and watch all those beautiful fish swimming around.\n\nWe were seated promptly and even got a seat that I had requested with my on line reservation, I wanted a table where we could all see the tank without having someones head in the way, especially for my six year old. Our waitress came over shortly after being seated and took our drink orders and explained the menu to us, and let me tell you, the light up menus are a nice touch, especially for someone like myself that usually uses reading glasses, I did not need them to read this menu.\n\nWe ordered some wine and a specialty drink along with the duck confit appertizer that my six year old even tried. The appertizer was very good but could have been great with a bit less blue cheese on it, which overpowered the duck. For dinners, my wife ordered the seafood combo which comes out on a stand and hangs in front of you which seemed to be a very popular item because we saw numerous diners ordering the same thing, and yes, it was very good and the serving size is very generous. I got the chicken tortellini dish which again was very good, lots of flavor and this too was a nice size serving portion. My son got the chicken tenders off the kids menu and even these were good, cooked to perfection which he enjoyed.\n\nOf course, the dining experience would not have been complete without trying out some of the desserts. We ordered the chocolate lava cake and the tiramisu with lady fingers. Both were delicious in flavor, although I would probably not order the tiramisu again since it was more of a pudding dish vs the traditional tiramisu I am used to getting. Overall pricing is not bad either for the amount of food you receive. Is it a bit pricey for the beaches but then again you are getting good food, great atmosphere and an excellent dining experience.\n\nOur overall experience was an A+, from the service, to the food and of course the way the place is layed out is awesome. It is a family friendly atmosphere, the bar area is just as top notch and the band that played that night was very good. We will be back! Great Job Guy Harvey and the Tradewinds team, you nailed it!", "Service was slo but they made up for the errors made. They have only been reopened 2 weeks. Food was good but the crab cake is strong with spice which I liked. Crab bisk soup was good and meaty.", "I had to edit my review. A year and a half ago, I gave Rumfish 5 Stars. We have always enjoyed their bar and appetizers. We were excited to take friends there and we were very disappointed. The food was average and on the pricey for what you get. There are so many better options in St Pete. I would highly recommend Snappers and/or 1200 Chophouse over Rumfish.", "My wife treated me to the RumFish Grill for my birthday a few days ago, and hopefully will become a new tradition.

Look, I've been to all the Indian restaurants in Tucson, and none of them come close to Sher e Punjab.\n\nThe food is outstanding and the family that runs it is a class act.

His sons will make you feel welcome, even if you are a sociopath or otherwise rejected by society.\n\nWhile it is true that the shopping center is a haven for those down on their luck, I think they are all panhandling for the $7 they need to eat like kings and queens at Sher e Punjab.", "0.5 stars. \n\nOn a truly sad day, an Indian friend and I (both of whom are from Tucson) decided we had an Indian restaurant craving (which would thus not be satisfied by our Tucson Indian moms' cooking). We literally walked into Sher-E-Punjab, were given a table, walked up to the buffet, looked at each other with agreeing shakes of the head, and walked straight out. The buffet presentation we looked at was simply not up to snuff. And this is despite our expectations being low to begin with, since I have eaten at Sher before and already know that it's a pretty underwhelming experience.", "Perhaps because I didn't visit Sher-E-Punjab on a truly sad day, I had a really wonderful dinner there.

Both of us enjoyed the meal here. We shared an appetizer and each ordered an entree and were very pleased. You have a choice of three spice levels. I requested mild, as I know Indian cuisine can be a bit spicy, and it was just right for me. The chicken in our entrees was very tender. The place appeared full when we walked in (a good sign), but we didn't have to wait for a table. Judging from the number of patrons at this place, I'd say others agree it's a good find.", "The food was good and the waiter very friendly.

Where do I start? Maybe with.. I will not be going back.. but thanks for the comped meal. \nService, horrible. WE bussed our own table in the bar area.

Bless his heart I could tell he was nervous and he tried his best so kudos to him. \nLong island iced tea- found a dead fly in it. (It was replaced but they still charged us for it)\nFood- not what we ordered. SLOW. stale chips and cold artichoke dip. Our food took over an hour to come out.\nA group was there 30 minutes before we got there and they didn't even get their bread until our meals arrived and they were complaining.\nAnother group ordered food and got no attention so they finally walked out.\n\nI finally complained to the manager and she said it was because they were short a server. I understand that but then why was she standing around and not lending a helping hand to her employees? \n\nI was very disappointed. It was father's day and I instead of enjoying my time with my father, we talked about nothing but the service. What a waste of 3 hours.", "If there was a test for O'Charley's this one would pass.\n\nEveryone was friendly and attentive.

Service was great, but the steak on the other hand was one if they worst steaks I have ever had. Yet on the menu they claim to have hand cut steaks. I ordered it med/rare when it came out it was more on the done side almost well done. It was very tough, it was the worst ribeye I've ever had. If you go I would stay away from the steaks on the menu.", "Service was mediocre & our food was terrible. I ordered a medium well steak & it was completely red on the inside...not even pink. Sent it back to get it cooked correctly. (I'm not usually one to send things back). When the steak came back it was so overdone that it was almost impossible to cut. The others in our party of 4 received their food cold." ]

Of the few coffee shops I've been to in New Orleans, this one has by far the best looking cakes and cupcakes for sale, and I'm tempted to go again today to eat some. Some board games lying around (Axis and Allies, anyone?), which is a nice touch. Furthermore, a modest selection of alcoholic drinks.

Hanging out there you can get a real feel for the local art scene , new events coming up and local shows.", "I don't get the complaints. I spent the better part of a St. Patrick's Day weekend morning in the place and was charmed. The wifi worked fine, even for my occasionally challenged Vista PC; the unnaturally orange-coiffed server was pleasant if slightly forgetful; the weather and open-air ambience were ideal; the clientele were interesting and eclectic; and the selection of baked items looked scrumptious.\n\nA definite bright spot in my visit to New Orleans.\n\nPS And it gives OnePass Dining miles to boot!", "My favorite little cafe (just on the outer cusp of the Quarter) to just hang w/o obnoxious crowds all over you and use the internet.

Coffee was decent. \n\nMy problem was with the sea of laptops that stared back at me from every table. Yes, the wifi is free, but we're in F***ING NEW ORLEANS, one of the most beautiful, visually arresting cities in the world, with some of the most interesting/artsy people you'll ever meet, and you're staring at a F***ING COMPUTER SCREEN!

Maybe late at night you get some stoners, but stoners working the late-night cafe shift are as wholesome and American as anything else.\n\nBesides, you can get coffee with alcohol in it here.

I was all like \"Yay! A real coffeehouse!\" Not that I don't love the cafe au lait at the Cafe Du Monde, it's just that those people who some jackass referred to as \"gutter punks\" (and their indoor counterparts, old activist hippies with ponytails reading free papers and writing in notebooks) are to me the signs of a GOOD LOCAL COFFEEHOUSE, a sight for my sore tourist-infested eyes. \n\nThe counter girl was very cute and very nice and I immediately ordered a vegetarian panini (I'm not vegetarian, I just like veggie sammitches) and two of the huge cookies that weigh like a pound a piece. They turned out to be underdone on the inside so if you like raw cookie dough you will love those. My biggest problem with Envie was choosing an iced tea. I was curious about the Blue Eyes but they also had my favorite, peach, so I went with that. I may find myself walking 12 blocks back up there tomorrow morning at 8 am to try the Blue Eyes. \n\nDid I mention that it's in a gorgeous old bar with comfy booths, a beautifully tiled floor, big windows open to the outside, and My Morning Jacket was playing full blast? And I didn't see one single person with their face in their laptop. (Not that I would have minded, I have my face in my laptop enough.) \n\nNo hataz here. I like Envie. Already recommended it to two of my friends who are visiting soon, because if I don't, it's highly likely they won't make it all the way past the French Market and Decatur to discover that it exists.

[ "For some reason, as I saw them building this place, I got really excited. Mainly because I saw an opportunity to be the first person to Yelp a Delco place. And for some reason, that excites me now. \n\nI am a full fledged Delco Yelp dork! I can't help it. \n\nBut at the same time, I know what some of you may say. It's another chain restaurant on Baltimore Pike, and God knows we need another one of those like we need a hole in the head. \n\nI don't know, but something tells me this place has a shot to win us over.\n\nFirst of all, it is a chain, but it seems to be not as huge and corporate as a Chili's, Applebee's, etc. I can handle that. \n\nBut none of that matters if the food isn't good. \n\nSo, I visited on the first day that the restaurant was open to the public. Actually, I stopped by the day before to see if they were doing anything beforehand, and I got to talk to one of the managers as well as pick up a To-Go menu. First impression... everything smells new of course, they have a ton of bar space, and way too many TV's. I, for one, like way too many TV's. If you don't, that is a problem for you. \n\nI like the layout. And when I got to look over the place today, they did a great job with the room including the second side bar room. It's got that new restaurant smell to it. \n\nI decided to sit at the bar, and I found everyone to be very friendly. Opening day had something to do with it, sure. But I found it a nice touch when the bartender made it a point to ask my name, give me hers, and shake my hand as I sat down. \n\nSo a couple of things I noticed. I won't knock them for any service issues today. It's the first day of being open. They made a couple of errors, but corrected them rather quickly. They are working on getting their act together. But they were well staffed with an army of servers and cooks ready to handle the first day. And the first day for the early lunch hour they had a good crowd. I sense a lot of people were waiting for this place. \n\nI will bring up something I noticed on the menu right away, and perhaps someone at Miller's might want to check on this. As I looked over the menu, I noticed a couple of prices were higher than I thought. As i went home to check the To-Go menu afterward, I confirmed it. Some of the menu prices in house appear to be $1.00 more than what is reflected on the To-Go menu. For instance, 10 wings on the To-Go menu, $9.99. The menu at the bar had them at $10.99. Again, I'll chalk it up to first day mistakes. Beware for now. \n\nI wanted the wings, and I think $10.99 is a bit high. So needless to say these wings would have to knock me off my feet to justify the higher price. \n\nAnd guess what... they did! \n\nI officially recommend the wings. They are huge. They are juicy to the point where they will run down your chin. They have a slight coating of breading to them which helps. The medium sauce tasted slightly more mild to me, but I still loved it. If you don't mind shelling out the $10.99, you will be rewarded with a huge plate of goodness. \n\nI had a Caesar Salad beforehand, which had a good amount of fresh lettuce and tangy dressing. I also gave a crock of chili a try, which I'll call decent. Some chili snobs might not go for it because it doesn't have a lot of kick to it. It's made for milder tastes. But it is also quite meaty. I might not call it the best I ever had, but I'd have it again. \n\nOverall beer selection... well, they do have a ton of different taps. Beer snobs might even find something they like. They have a lot of the standards too. Overall a much better selection than a lot of what you find locally. They're not a brewpub by any means. But they have more than enough to satisfy. \n\nI also took home a Zinger salad with the Sweet Thai Chili sauce for the wife. Oops, they forgot to include the side of dressing (first day mistake). For those who don't know, Zingers are their version of boneless wings. But I can report the wife enjoyed the salad (luckily we had some ranch at home), and liked the Zingers. I tasted one, and I can see those Zingers becoming an addiction. \n\nMuch like many chain restaurants, they seem to do very well with appetizer foods. I saw other plates of nachos going out that looked huge. I don't know how good their entrees are since I haven't had one yet. My fellow Delco Yelpers will tell me whether they're any good, I'm sure. \n\nThey offer quite the expansive menu of burgers, sandwiches, steaks, seafood, barbecue, pasta, and fajitas. And I don't think you'll have a problem with decadent desserts either. It will take a while to really judge them based on the full menu. \n\nBut I'm here to say that based on what I had today, they got my seal of approval on the first day. If you need a place for wings, beer, and sports, I'd take them over most of the competition in Delco right now. \n\nIt will be very interesting to see whether they can maintain this long-term. Have at it, Delco Yelpers!", "Its an honor and privilege to be the second reviewer of an establishment that was first reviewed by the Don of Delco Dining - the big man himself -the great Steve S. I have used his reviews extensively since moving to Delco and he has never lead me wrong. The brand new Ale house is spacious and sparkling. It is testimony to the\"if you build it they will come\" and it is bustling and busy since its opening this past week. I was there at 1:30 afternoon and it was doing brisk business. Last night there wasn't a spot open in the parking lot. This is by far the sports bar this area needed. I realize Chickie and Petes opened in Drexel Hill but that's a nice ride from my place. I am also not sold that C&P is the best sports bar in the nation. This spot kicks their tails in several areas. One is the draft beer list: 48 beers on draft with new beers in rotation. A menu that is far more extensive. And a staff that is service oriented and seeks to provide a great experience on every visit.( I read this on their web site and experienced it from the three bartenders who were always checking on me). A special shout out to Christine who was wonderful. I had the Zingers - their famous version of a cross between chicken fingers and wings. Highly recommend them. The soda was bigger than a 7-11 Super Gulp. This will be a spot I will visit often. Two thumbs up. Springfield is a better place now that Miller's has arrived!", "I visited Miller's on President's day, the week after they opened. We arrived at 12:30 and were seated at one for the 'tall tables'. Though the food was good, what they delivered to the table wasn't what we ordered. \n\nBoth my son and I ordered a 'Build your own burger' with bacon, chili and Cheddar cheese. What was delivered had bacon, Cheddar and BBQ sauce. We didn't realize it was incorrect until 2 bites in. \n\nSince the food was done OK and we like BBQ burgers, we kept them, but the staff should be more vigilant in the orders. When I told the waiter of the error, he apologized, but did not offer to fix anything, or even offer a discount.\n\nMiller's has a nice interior, but it was a bit dark. It seemed about half of the seating is taken up with these 'tall tables' where you sit on backless stools, but I think they'd be better suited to remove half of them and put in the standard booths. When we left, about 1:20 or so, there was a 25 minute wait and manypeople had children where a tall table would have been inappropriate. \n\nI'll give them another chance, and, revise the rating if possible.", "In was in the area running errands so I'd thought I'd check out the new folks in Delco. An early lunch would hit the spot. I was the first customer in the door at 11:00 am. \n\nI sat at the beautiful bar and ogled the dozens of taps. A tag on the bar said my bartenders would be Abby & Kim and Abby created me quickly. She also was worth a little ogling. It turns out she is also a Phillies Ball Girl! I quickly received my first delicious craft beer from an impressive list. Most of them run about $5. \n\nI told Abby I needed a couple of minutes with the menu and off she went. Things went a little downhill at this point. I was ready to order and there was no Abby and no Kim and a hungry slightly annoyed Yelper. I finally flagged down a waitress and she couldn't find my bartenders! She took my order for a Bistro Burger ($9.49) and told me she'd figure out the mix up. Clearly there is a kink here that needs to be worked out.\n\nFinally Abby reappeared along with Kim (ogle worthy also) and I received lots of attention. We talked beers for a while and both were knowledgeable.\n\nThis is one of those places where if you are at the bar and running a tab, they hold your credit card. Of course I have had that happen before and I will forever be annoyed when a place does that. I like to keep control of my plastic!\n\nMy Bistro Burger arrived nicely plated. The toasted ciabatta bun is very impressive and really enhances the sandwich. My burger was cooked as requested and delicious. The accompanying fries were forgettable and I completely expected that. Miller's is a chain and my experience with chains is that fries are rarely anything special. I was never asked if I wanted S&P or ketchup so I requested them. After that, between the two of them, they must have asked me ten times if I needed anything else! Clearly this is another kink to be worked out.\n\nI see a lot of potential here as they tune up their staff and work on issues that any new place is going to experience. I'm going with three stars for now and I'll be back.", "second time at Millers. first outing wasn't too bad just had drinks. bar was packed but service was so so. \nsecond outing was for lunch. we ordered two sodas two beers and one Bloody Mary . good was also ordered at this time. 20wings mild/garlic, fried mozzarella, bacon cheese burger, medium well and a fillet, we were told had to be butterflied to cook sooner. \ndrinks came out fairly quick. blood Mary was great, two sodas just seltzer water. beer had absolutely no head on it and was flat. sodas were asked to be exchanged and it took 15 and a reminder to get the drinks. \n35 mins after we say down. the sings come out wrong, we were told they were free. 15 min after that the fried mozzarella finally came out, cold\nnow 40 min into our dining experience the other half of the wings came out, and again with no blue cheese. an hour into the lunch the burger and fillet finally arrived. the bacon on the burger looked like I was taken from the fridge to the burger. the fillet had a horrible smell to it and looked like it was sitting under a hot lamp for the entire time. the waitress avoided our table and never asked us if we need refills. \nthe bill was a wopping 72$ \nnever going again", "I had been looking for the opportunity to vist the New Miller's in Springfield and when my bff called we decided to give it a try. There was a wait for table service so we decided to try our luck at the main bar. \n\nWe were quickly met by one of the bartenders, (name cards said, Ashley, Hillary, ???, ??? and Larry). The girls were friendly enough but really seemed to be a little lost behind the bar. They struggled with the register and didn't seem to be very knowledgable with the drink recipes. I am guessing over time, the service will get better. We did notice Larry for a couple of reasons. First he isn't too tough on the eyes for the ladies and second he really seemed to know what he was doing. He wasn't assigned to our section, but found his way down the bar from time to time and helped make sure things went smoothly. By the end of the night we were only ordering from him as we wanted to make sure we recieved what we ordered, quickly. \n\nEnough about the bar onto the food. We tried a couple of the appetizer's and were pleasantly surprised by the quality. The portions were HUGE and the prices were very reasonable. We started with the Buffalo Shrimp (delicious) and then shared a salad and some zingers. Everything was great and we will definitely be back. \n\nWelcome to Springfield Milller's!!!", "I have been waiting for this place to open up for some time. When it finally did, the parking lot was seriously packed! Driving by you could see TVs all along the back wall. I decided to go last night, friday night at 6pm. Of course it was extremely busy but the wait time was 45 minutes which in fact was really only about 20min. You get the option of where you want to sit upon checking in which is pretty cool.First available was fine by me. Waiting for our table, we went to check out the bar and grabbed a drink. The bar is BIG, lots of room though to hang around and wait. I got a text message telling me my table was ready fairly quickly. Waiters name was Roger, he was really nice and very knowledgable of the menu. I had a grilled chicken sandwhich and sweet potato fries and my friend had the steak. Food was really good! The manager came up to the table as well welcoming us and apologizing for the little wait for our food to come. Food=Good....Service= Excellent...Will definately be back. Hoping they have quizzo during the week!\nDON\"T park on the side by the curb!!! Parking can be a pain but stalk people that are coming out to get a real spot. Parking authority was there giving out tickets.", "We went here with our 2 kids and another couple and their 2 kids on a Sunday and the place was slamming crowded. The wait was going to be an hour but our other guest got there early and put our names in and we were seated almost immediately. It is brand new and fun. There are lots of beers on tap. The waitress was great. Funny give and take. Patient with the kids, special ordering ect. They gave them coloring pads that kept them busy. After dinner we went to the back bar and sat by the fire place. This is the best spot in the place. A nice large fireplace and a large flat screen above it. Great spot. We will be back.", "This is a partial review. This is not an ale house this is a sports bar/ restaurant I was excited when i saw the signs for this place going up finally a replacement for the now closed Ye Olde Ale House (which had great sea food roast beef sandwiches and fried chicken) now don't get me wrong the service was excellent and the food was very good, and I the prices are right on the money so I will be back looking forward to trying the zingers. I had the onion soup and the ceasar salad (the watress put in the larger off the menu version) both were great. My wife and son had the prime rib sandwich and fries which were also very good. the restaurant is load and tv s are everywhere except at the seats so kids can still be entertained. Unfortunately because of the ordering snafu with the larger salad I had no room for dessert. So that may be another visit.", "I absolutely love it here. Great prices, wonderful beer selection, good and friendly servers and bartenders. Awesome for watching sporting events in the lounge. I also really like the sofa, chairs and table setup right in front of the fireplace. A very nice touch. So happy this place opened a mile from my home. Every time I leave I can't wait to go back and everyone I tell about it goes and loves it too." ]

[ "This review is based on my visit on opening night. The staff were dealing with a full house and wait times were greater than 30 minutes. Despite that, the service was not lacking. We had the chicken karage and takoyaki as appetizers. The takoyaki I thought was on point, the chicken could have been crispier. We had the spicy tonkotsu and the chicken ramen and they were delicious. The serving sizes were perfect with good serving of noodles. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to any ramen lover in Tucson!", "Wow! I got mine to go. It was phenomenal. I don't remember exactly what I ordered by name but it was more than I expected !!!! I live close by and will be back Multiple times!", "Maybe one of the best taste Japanese Ramen in Tucson. I ate the white Tonkotsu and my buddy ate black roasted garlic Tonkotsu, both of them are very delicious.\n\nI love everything but the fact that the noodles is a little bit less than I expected.", "The food was delicious and the staff friendly. Casual clean atmosphere, we have a new go-to Ramen place, yay!", "This place is very new and packed. I waited 45 minutes in the cold. I suggest that the owner please join Yelp's online check in so customers can reserve online before driving there and wait in the cold for a long time. Overall, the place is good. The takoyaki balls were rather small for $5 which has 6 pieces, mostly flour and tiny piece of octopus. The bowl of ramen is medium. It is not very large. The food is served very fast but the wait is very long. But in comparison to other ramen places on Tucson, this place is the best so far. Obviously, it cannot compare to Tampopo in Tempe but I will give this a five star because the service is fast", "The spicy miso ramen is delicious after adding a quarter cup of water, AND I usually have more salt in my food than others. A lot of my friends found their food salty, too. So it's not only that specific night or order. Takoyaki was out at 8 pm when we visited, but the small unagi don made up for it. \nThe one thing that I find unacceptable is the quality of the chopsticks. I would rather use tree branches than their chopsticks. It doesn't really matter if you want it ignore it or not, they are light, soft, and stingy. It's the type of chopsticks that sells for $2 for a hundred pairs... why...", "Raijin Ramen is going to be a regular visit for us. The service was fast and friendly. More importantly, the Ramen, man-o-man! The broth was super tasty, noodles perfectly cooked and thinner which I like. Chris had the black garlic broth and I had the spicy red. Fantastic new place that just opened!", "First and foremost, the red spicy tonkotsu and spicy miso ramen were great. Broth was spicy and flavorful. I enjoyed the seamingly more alkaline curly noodles of the spicy miso over the straight noodles used in the tonkotsu bowl. The richness of the tonkotsu broth was notable compared to the miso ramen which is a good thing. The menma, egg, and chasu were all delicious as well. \n\nI ordered 2 of the drink specials from the chalk board. It was the Ozeno Yukidoke IPA (11.5oz bottle) and there was no price listed. The drink menu of the restaurant has other beers (bottled and draft) and none of them were over like $5-6. Anyways, got the bill for my 2 beers and it was $19.90! An expensive surprise that my bottled beer was the same price as my ramen!! I talked to the staff asking them if the price was a mistake and told them there was no price on the chalk board and their menu doesn't have any beers close to that price. They said, \"Sorry that's what the price is, we should of told you, we will write the price on the board now, sorry.\" Some sort of compensation would have been nice (refund or half off on the beers). I looked up the price online and a 6 pack of this beer is $14.99...\n\nAnyways, disappointed in customer service but the ramen was good.", "Finally, a ramen shop in Tucson! I have been longing for the glorious day when I do not have drive across cities or states to get a good bowl of ramen. My friend and I thought we were early when we arrived at 11:30, but the place was packed with a 15-minute wait. I was a little surprised that the interior wasn't much different except the lack of a sushi bar from its Saga Sushi days. There were many staff members, so the service was fast. Like many ramen shops, they should have included a long table or bar where single visitors can come eat without occupying a whole table. When my Black Roasted Garlic bowl of ramen came out, I quickly tasted the broth by itself and was happy with the rich umami flavors. The noodles were cooked to the correct al dente texture. It was the thin type as well, which I find ideal for pork broths. There were many toppings to compliment the noodles but some missed the mark. The fried onions were very strong, almost converting the ramen to a French onion soup after sitting for a while. They needed to add ginger to cut the overpowering taste of the onions. The pork belly was seasoned well and cooked perfectly, but the portion was gone after two bites. In fact, I finished the whole bowl pretty fast without being satisfied. However, it is really nice to see that Rajin offers the Kae Dama option to refill noodles to your broth. However, because of the wait beforehand, I had to rush back to work without having the opportunity to do so. So what I've learned is to come with plenty of time to spare, not during lunch hour. If you are hungry, place the order for extra noodles and extra pork from the start. Additionally, ask them to leave the mound of fried onions off.", "Me and my bf are ramen fanatics and this place passed our expectations!\nThe service was quick, friendly, and attentive.\nWe were seated, served, and ate all our food under 30 minutes.\nIt's a very clean and welcoming environment.\nThe food was delicious. We got Gyoza, Takoyaki, and ramen. All the food was serviced quickly and hot.\nThey have other options besides ramen and they have a nice selection of beers, wines, and Japanese drinks." ]

[ "Great new local place. Initially started out of Texas I believe. Their official opening is this weekend but they're having a pre-opening with complimentary food. The girls are cute and a plus the service was awesome. Love the seating arrangement choices (reminiscent of ESPN Zone) including recliners. Full bar and late hours. Call for reservations if you would like to get in on the pre-opening. I'll be sure to review it again when the place opens up. This was a much better opening than other places I've been to for openings. Try it out.", "The truth... This is not my kind of place. I came in with high hopes however after the initial lure I was totally disappointed. The decor is the only stand out part of the establishment it is obviously the most planned out and is well executed. However, everything else is completely catered to an overblown male psyche. Think Spike TV got set loose on a restaurant. The food is ok, the portions are large and the prices are ok we had less than stellar service but they have only been open five days. They did completely forget one of our guests meals.", "Met up with my father here for lunch, not knowing what to expect. I'd read a blurb about the place in one of the papers. This is a new chain set up by the people who do Joe's Crabs. Maybe it's a Texas thing to think that quality trumps quality. I had a big salad with fried chicken chunks and my dad had a chili cheeseburger. Both were pretty huge. Service was slow and lackluster by our initial server, but another woman stopped over and chatted us up, and she was very personable. The design and layout is enticing, and some of the women are attractive, but many just look like bad trailer trash in the outfits that they have to wear. Beer was decent and if you're just going to talk with the women, watch sports and have a beer, then this might be a fine place. If you're expecting anything special from the food or have more discerning tastes then you might want to go elsewhere.", "I'd like to meet the owner and give him a high five for HIS(only a dude could put together the lamest sexual references and false advertising into a theme of a restaurant) epic failure. Double D cupcake was less then a handful. I've cupped my breast more than once to know that your A cupcake was not worth $4--good thing that was not my order.\n\nI ordered THE sophisticated THREE WAY CHICKEN WINGS. Per the menu, a \"pound of jumbo wings\" should have been placed before me. Instead, I got a fake iron skillet with 9 chick wings scattered about. So what do I tell my friend who I'm sharing this delicate meal with? I tell her I'm going to verify with the waitress that this wasn't just a quarter pound.\n\nMy moment to speak with the waitress was as dull as a plastic spoon. I commented on how the wings presented did not represent a pound to my estimates. The server, in her predictable daisy dukes and orange hair, sang back \"but there are always 10 wings.\" I mumbled back a scientific observation, \"the wings were different sizes with the largest not being even the slightest bit JUMBO.\" Perhaps she was trying to match my tone so she mumbled back, \"but there are always 10 wings.\" Regardless of whether the count was 9 or 10, my $11 would have been better spent on 220 pieces of individual wrapped gum that cost .05 cents. Everything was wrong except for the price of beer which was mild to moderately priced.

Food is average.", "I was there on a Sunday to watch some football. It's not that bad of a place, I mean the food isn't horrible...but the clientele is like straight out of a movie (or South Tampa). Guys wearing visors backwards and upside down with work boots on etc...\n\nThey do have a pretty cool fireplace outside which would be nice if there weren't so many mooks around it.\n\nAll-in-all...it's just average at best. Food leaves a lot to be desired. PLUS the menu is in the same font found on most of the shirts in the building - Old English Affliction/Ed Hardy font...", "Are you looking for a place to watch the big game, enjoy awesome food, drink a lot, and have a great view of really hot girls? No? Well get the hell off my site. If you are searching for that place, I've found it. It's called Brick House Tavern + Tap and it is amazing. It's like Hooters but with better food, more beer choices, and hot girls not dressed like its 1985. I've been going to this place for a while now and I can't think of a better place to hang out and watch a bunch of NFL or college football games. To be honest I don't even think it matters if there are games on or not. This might just be the best place to eat and drink in Tampa.\nThe first thing you'll notice here is that the waitresses all wear either really short shorts or skirts. And most of them have some nice tramp stamps. They aren't all your typical beauty queens, but they have that \"real girl\" factor that you don't often find at Hooters or similar places. These are actual girls that you might see at the club or on your college campus and think you might have a shot at. It's almost like the Tilted Kilt girls, but not as skanky. Not that there's anything wrong with the Kilt girls, but sometimes you want a girl you can take home to momma and sometimes you want a girl to call you daddy.\n\n\nPretty girls aside, a place has to offer more than scenery to keep you coming back and Brick house does just that with an awesome menu of great food. Whether you want some bar food or something a little more substantial, you can find it here. I always start off with their soft pretzel sticks or some tots, but you really can't go wrong with anything here. They offer chops, mahi-mahi, chicken fried steak, and a host of other great dinner choices. As a macaroni and cheese connoisseur, I highly recommend the Man Cave Mac n Cheese, with bacon. Creamy cheesy goodness! There are so many good things on the menu, you have to go back several times to try them all.\n\n\nIf you just want to drink, Brick House knows how to make you happy. They have a really nice selection of craft beers and classic favorites, all served up in any number of ways. If you want to kick it low money style, get your PBR or Schlitz in a can wrapped up in a paper bag. If you are going to hang out for a while, get yourself a beer bong full of any of their draft beers. Please don't order a half bong though, unless you want everyone to know you are a pussy. Really want to have some fun? Order up a micro keg of Paulaner or Warsteiner among others. Even if you don't want beer, you won't be unhappy. They've got all the liquor you could want and are happy to make Car Bombs, Boilermakers, or whatever else you desire.\n\nThe girls, the beers, and the food all help you enjoy a great day or evening of fun whether you are there to watch some sports or just hang out with friends. You can either enjoy the action inside or go out to the patio which is pretty spacious and lively in its own right. There's even a section called the Man Cave, which has some couches and a large tv just for you. I don't know whether it's first come first serve or if there are any rules for sitting there, but it sure looks like a cool place to chill. Just give them a call and I'm sure they can answer any questions you have. There's plenty of time left to enjoy a Saturday or Sunday of football, so hurry up and get out there. I promise you won't regret it.\n\nFor more reviews and drinking stories visit www.thecheatseat.com", "Great place, trashy servers, ok food. This is definitely a place for all the guys to hang out and watch a game. This is definitely NOT the place to have a nice meal. The fries were good, the rest of the food was just ok. I think they're trying to be a \"Hooters\" like restaurant... \"delightfully tacky yet unrefined\". They definitely got the tacky part down. I would pick Hooters over this place." ]

[ "The Chicken Palace is Reno's answer to Hooters, except the only boobs you'll see are the moobs on the friendly waitstaff. I've spent many pleasant summer evenings enjoying their 69 cents PBR special. The food's also very tasty/reasonably priced - a coworker has given the thumbs up to the broasted chicken as being \"authentically Midwestern.\" One word of advice though - the Chicken Palace mascot probably makes it not the best choice for an office outing, small children, or your conservative Christian relatives.", "I think I came here years about five years ago with co-workers and I don't remember what happened due to alcohol...but I had a very good time tonight. We went there before mini golfing and it eneded up being a good date night! What I liked most about this place was the food. We both had hand battered chicken strips with ranch and it was delicious. The chicken was nice and hot out of the frier. The ranch was really good and it came with a nice litle buttered roll. Unhealthy as hell but Oh well!! The service was great I didn't have any problems at all.", "Great chicken wings. My favorite are the Sweet and Spicy ones. They taste even better reheated the next day.\n\nThe reason for the 3 stars is because every time we go there, the prices are higher than the last time. Don't these guys realize were in a recession?\n\nWhile the food is consistently good, the waitstaff is hit and miss. They don't seem to keep the same staff around for too long.", "Love this place! The wings are awesome...you gotta try the fried chicken at least once, it's crispy and yummy. \n\nThe service is great, they are very attentive. We stopped going on the \"other\" Joe Bob's because the service was awful but this location is great. Check it out.", "Joe Bob's is so-so.. I've had worse, and have cooked much better myself for WAY less, but since I didn't have to wash the dishes it gets 3 stars! \n\nThe place was pretty much dead, there was about 6 people at the bar, and only 1 other table of 2 there eating, so parking was a breeze. You seat yourself. \n\nThe place is a lounge which seemed to just be smack dab in the middle of a chicken joint, or is it the chicken joint was built around the bar? \nWHAT CAME FIRST THE CHICKEN OR THE BAR?? :-)\n\nThe decor in there was..... interesting..... \nThere is video poker at the bar if that tickles your fancy!\n\nMy main complaint is the floors were dirty, and needed swept - and should have been since the place was basically empty and well past rush time! To me that just screams LAZINESS on the part of the staff - though lazy they were friendly! \n\nOur waiter was the perfect balance of attentive but not annoying so I did like that! \n\nI was a little annoyed with their being 4 big screen TV's all on different channels --- but the 80's hair band music playing was kind of cool. \n\nThe menu is a big laminated sheet that stays at the table, which I like so I can keep reading it even after I've ordered. This place is a little pricey for what it is, and what you get, and considering chicken is so cheap. They seriously should rethink their prices!?!?!?!?!?!\n\nWe got.... \nA LARGE basket of garlic fries $6.00 - which was the best thing going, but not as much flavor as I would have thought. Very mild. \nChicken wings - I'm not sure how THOSE won any awards as they claim because they had very little sauce on them, and were BORING! Maybe some of the other flavors are better but those were just kind of LAME - 12 pc. for approx. $9.00 \nThe fried chicken -- 4 pc. for $9.00w/cole slaw, mashed potatos and a biscuit - the chicken was crispy as everyone raves about, but beneath the crisp was just FATTY chicken - not very good quality. The crispy crunchy batter didn't have a lot of seasoning, and it was pouring grease. So not my favorite. \nCole Slaw - it was just a tiny plastic cup (less the 1/4 c.) and not very flavorful though it was very fresh and crisp. KFC's cole slaw totally takes the prize!\nMashed potatoes - were very interesting. They were of the (runny) instant variety, and covered with a interesting CHEESE sauce NOT gravy - it tasted EXACTLY like those out of the box Betty Crocker \"scalloped potatoes\" not at all like mashed potatoes.... but since I like Betty Crocker I kind of liked these too!\nThe buttered roll was just a roll nothing special. \n$35.00 for two people to eat greasy chicken and boring wings. \n\nI might have to go back because they have a CHICKEN Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich - which to me sounds very good, but I dont think I'd ever order the wings, or fried chicken again.", "I love Joe Bob's bbq wings! They are crunchy, tasty & very easy to scarf down! The decor in the place is really cool, and eating messy wings in that type of atmosphere puts you at ease to get grub all over your face and not worry about it! Hands down, this location is far better than any others....and the wings are FAR better here also!!!", "This place is pretty good - tasty chicken in a bar like atmosphere. My boyfriend and I shared a 4-piece order of fried chicken, all white ($4 upgrade), with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The chicken was perfectly crispy and fresh from the fryer. It lacked a bit of seasoning, but the addition of honey and hot sauce did the trick. \n\nDespite some other reviews, I actually thought the prices were very fair. The two of us shared an order of 4-pieces of fried chicken breasts which came with a good serving of potatoes, a small serving of coleslaw, and two fluffy rolls with honey butter. For $14 we had dinner for 2 and leftovers.\n\nThe place was pretty full, as it was a friday night. There were plenty of tables open but we were pleasantly surprised at the large and relatively young and lively crowd. \n\nOverall, a good meal for a decent price at a fun place. If you enjoy the bar scene, this is a great place to sit, drink, relax, and eat some serious fried chicken.", "1-line summary: \"Chicken so good, you wish you can take it on the plane too\"\n\nMany would wonder what Joe Bob's has to offer just by looking on the appearance of the building. While the joint seems more like a mashup of a old bar with alot of empty space. It does serve up some mighty fine chicken, both whole and wings. And to put it into perspective, the chicken is so good, I don't even have to think what else is on the menu.\n\nFriend chicken is offered in multiples of 4 pieces up to 20 (i believe). 4 pieces will typically make up one-half of a chicken. You will get one breast, thigh, wing, and the almighty drum stick. On the outside lays a thin and crispy skin that is similiar to tempura. While the skin is thin, the juices remains in the meat when you bite into it. Unlike most places, even if you take it home and eat the next day, some of the crispiness and most of the juices remains.\n\nAnother highlight would be the wings. Slightly thicker batter than the whole chicken, but still crispy. Do not be afraid of the Hellfire sauce, it is not at one bit hot rather it is a milder and buttery version of tobassco. \n\nWhen should I go there? This is the one place that I look forward in going when I fly into Reno...", "DO NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION!!!!! GO TO THE ONE IN SPARKS.\n\nI am new to the area and erroneously called the Reno location for a to-go order not knowing there were two locations. I thought I was calling Sparks. When I arrived at the Sparks location I was told I had ordered from the Reno location. I called the Reno location and the guy who answered the phone was very nice and said he would cancel my order and thanks for calling.\nA couple of minutes later, the bartender called me back and starting yelling at me for ordering from them and cancelling. She said that I better get over there and pick up my order and that the Sparks location was not allowed to serve me!! I handed the phone to my husband and she started yelling at him, swearing at him, so he hung up. The food at the Sparks location is outstanding so I can only assume the food is good at all locations. However, I will never, ever, ever go to the Reno location because of the B--ch who called me and screamed at me for making a mistake.", "It is what it says it is: a palace of chicken.\n\nFor the record, I did not meet Joe Bob, but his Chicken Palace was pretty fantastic. Actually it was reno-tastic. Sports screens everywhere, video poker, beer and fried food. \n\nThe service was quick and friendly and the chicken was fried. In fact, I think everything we had was fried except the drinks. The batter used on the chicken tenders were comparable to batter used on fish and chips. We also tried the appetizer combo which was good but a little pricey for the portion size. The Chicken Dippers that I had were good, but a pretty unseasoned. They offer dipping sauces which helps, but it was lacking in flavor (and IMHO, crispiness).\n\nMy husband had the Super Hell Fire wings, which were spicy, but he could have done with more hell fire. I guess when someone advertises something as Super Hell Fire and not Kinda Hell Fire it's a little misleading.\n\nThe only other thing they could've offered was a wing-eating challenge of some kind. Because who doesn't want to be the King of the Chicken Palace?" ]

[ "I have mixed feelings about Vientiane Cafe. I like the neighborhoodiness of it. And the food is alright, I've had some really good, nothing ever down-right bad, but mostly alright fare here. The menu seems basically straightforward Thai, with some exceptions... which was a bummer to find after walking in the first time thinking Laos... even though there's overlap.\n\nI get the impression that the whole operation is afloat by a shoe-string... which is sad. I hope it all gets sorted.", "Vientiane is cute and casual little neighborhood BYOB self-described as Laotian. I'm a big fan of the pad thai, which is rich in flavor and served with still-crunchy broccoli and carrots, and you can't really go wrong with an appetizer of fresh spring rolls or edamame. Most of the food is just OK, but there are a handful of really excellent dishes.\n\nIf you're planning to go, make sure to bring cash, because they don't take credit cards and have no ATM inside. They also do take reservations, so keep that in mind, as they do fill up on Friday and Saturday nights.", "I have eaten here a few times and it's consistently been great.\nJust about every thing has a vegetarian option, which is great, and it's always nice and tasty.\nThe best thing to do is go in a group of 3 or more, each get different things and then share it all. It's great for new-comers to the neighborhood who are tight on cash. You get a great meal for a great price.\nTheir hours can be kooky and the place is really small, so make sure you investigate before you decide to go. I've gone a few times and not been able to get a table or found out that they're closed.\n\nOh! Definitely don't venture from the norm on the drinks. Some of the drinks they offer are, well, terrible. It's BYOB, though, so just bring some good wine and enjoy!", "going here on a triple dinner date was quite nice on this nice spring-like night and i believe we got the only large table that could fit us all! it is a small place, so come early. it gets crowded fast due to the good food and cheap prices.\n\nthere are plenty of veggie options and they do offer fish and meat for us carnivores like myself. yay! but bring cash! cash only here. also, this place is byob. i started out with the thai tea. yums. the fresh spring rolls were just that, fresh! the veggie dumplings are delicious. whether you get sticky rice with sauteed lemongrass, shallots, and chicken or if you get curry soup and jasmine rice, there is sure to be something on this menu to please every mouth!\n\nthe meal ended with fried banana with honey. of course, i was the only one that got dessert. the smallest girl at the table, but i always leave room for dessert! it's how i roll.", "Take your girlfriend here. She will love you forever. Try the stuffed talapia. Or the Panang. Or the pineapple fried rice. Great menu, plenty of vegetarian options, and plenty of spice! Good prices too. Take your date here. She'll be impressed and you wont break the bank.", "This place can be a bit snug on the on hours, but the wait and packed-ness is well worth it. The food is excellent, and it's not just excellent for being cheap; it's excellent, period. Though I might be mangling spellings here, the Bahn-Xeo appetizer is amazing, with or without accompanying sauces, while all the noodle dished -- particularly the Pad See-Ew and Lad Na -- are sizable and scrumptious. Plus, in my opinion, they taste even better cold the next day. On to the desserts, all of which are near incomparable. The mango sticky rice is faboo, though you can definitely get that same goods elsewhere. Try the spring rolls and/or rice pudding for something new and different.", "I've only been once, and it was fine but not enough to bring me back. It was recommended by several people. I've heard it described as Laotian-Thai. I haven't eaten Laotian food anywhere else, but I've eaten a LOT of Thai food. This place wasn't very exciting. Maybe because I don't know from Laotian cuisine and didn't know what to order. I LOVE green papaya salad, but theirs was just meh. The other entrees were adequate--not bad at all. You could do worse.", "Have gone here several times with my girlfriend, as well as once for a big birthday party. For the price the food is terrific - but I'd say that anyone who makes a special trip from outside the neighborhood might be left scratching their head about Vientiane.\n\nIf you live nearby, or find yourself outside, this restaurant and are hungry you honestly could not do better.\n\nDon't forget two things before going: it's BYOB and it's cash only. There's an ATM in the corner deli if you ever end up short of money and the closest wine and spirits store is at 49th and Baltimore.", "Great Low key BYOB to go for a variety of food options. You can pho it up with some soup and spring rolls, or you can get some chicken tofu, or seafood over a bed of fried rice with plenty of veggies. Not bad by my book.\n\nThe veggie spring rolls I picked up weren't anything special. Vietnam Cafe definitely has better, and ones at Vientiane were pretty similar to the generic ones you can find in many stores over. But the mad pineapple fried rice with seafood that I picked up was fantastic! the shrimp, crab, squid, and scallops that it came with were cooked to perfection, and the pineapple provided just enough citrus to add on some extra flavor.\n\nDefinitely bring cash since it doesn't take credit. My friend made the mistake and it resulted in us waiting a little longer than most to resolve the check. bummer. and now that Summer's in the air they have outdoor seating!", "I can't say enough about this place. Everything I have ever had was delicious - panang curry, egglplant/dill/sticky rice, Pad Kee Mow (so tasty that it took me a year to stop ordering it), red curry, yelloy curry, green curry- try it all, rice noodles, curries. It's not Thai, as some people claim, but Laotian, which is why many people don't recognize dishes on the menu, or certain flavor combination. \n\nI don't give 5 stars based on food, though. I love this place because it is a neighborhood joint, because you can eat outside in the summer, because it is a BYOB, because it is CHEAP for the amount of food you get, because when you're there you feel happy just knowing that everyone else is having as good a time as you are. It's not fancy, it's just fantastic. \n\nAlso, there are so many vegetarian options, it's always a hard choice to decide between something new and something that I've had beofre and loved.

Very friendly service.\n\nI've only been here a few times, but I've had more than a few of their baked goods over at Avenue Coffee (today turning to Cartel Coffee Campbell actually.) Their low-fat bran muffin is absolutely to die for. There simply are none better. But I've rarely got excited about much else. Their cinnamon rolls are a bit on the dry and stiff side with not enough cinnamon flavor for my desire. The cinnamon scones are good flavor, but the texture is spongey and a bit boring.\n\nTheir multigrain bread is too smooth of a texture for me. I prefer one that is scattered with actual grains floating around in it.\n\nThe house coffee isn't horrible, but their espresso is. I ordered an americano, but got an iced latte.

Wouldn't change anything about our experience or the products they provided. \n\nWe met with many bakeries and Paulette with Village Bakehouse blew us away. We had been considering tarts instead of cake and Paulette was the only bakery to provide a sample. Also, the design we wanted for the cake was made out to be a very difficult design by others and we had been told it would likely need to be done in fondant - which, if at all possible, we did not want. During our tasting, Paulette whipped up a sample in a flash and it was exactly what we wanted. \n\nMy husband's parents decided to order him a groom's cake - a VW mini bus. It could have turned out goofy, or awesome, and it was definitely the latter. It was adorable. People cracked up over it. \n\nNot only did our cake(s) turn out unbelievably gorgeous, it tasted amazing too! We got pink champagne with Italian butter cream, sour cream chocolate with chocolate ganache, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and autumn spice with classic buttercream. The cake could have been made in only three tiers, but we couldn't decide on just three flavors (all so good), so Paulette made it in four (still the same amount of cake) and it was the perfect size. \n\nPaulette really made the experience for us - so talented, sweet and responsive.

And if my first visit, on the second day open is any indication, he will be giving Reno a great southern menu with a pleasing atmosphere and friendly service. \n\nOur food and service was better than I expected, especially so close to the doors opening for the very first time.\n\nSam, our waiter was friendly, helpful and ready to make our lunch a satisfying adventure. Admittedly I was a little needy this time around, forgetting to ask for this or that but his response was just right every time. With others staff stopping by the table, it was refreshing to see the newly opened intensity being displayed with such calm. \n\nOur food was very good. Three large fish nuggets held their heat through the whole lunch. Her Bayou Blackened Burger, while being a little light on the \"bayou\" was super duper tasty on the blackened factor. Robert did mention that if you like spicy just let your waiter know and they can add a notch or two of spice. I also did my usual over order of sides and apps. The fried green tomatoes were of course delicious and the collard greens were solid, less meaty than some places, but still good flavors. \n\nThis is a glowing 6 star review for a brand new place. Darn Yelp for restricting me to only 5 stars. But really it's no surprise that this place is so good when you consider one of his past posts was a stint at Western Village Steakhouse. \n\nA few notes.\nBeer and wine will be available by the end of the week and the liquor license is in the works and looks to be a few months out.", "I don't think it will take as much faith as its namesake for this southern comfort food venue to succeed! Master Chef Robert and the entire crew know what it takes to please this Louisiana-born and Carolina-raised gal, and I bet he'll satisfy your soul food craving for okra, collard green, and fried green tomatoes! \n\nThis restaurant has New Orleans colors and the glass tops reveal Mardi Gras characters as center pieces. The tables are mostly four tops, but can be combined for group seating. Dividers will be available for private party areas in the near future. The menu is simple with effective descriptions and reasonable prices. They offer separate lunch and dinner menus. The servers are welcoming and check on you often to make sure everything is going well. \n\nSo many of the items seemed appealing, but I opted to try the fried green tomatoes as a starter before the Blackened Bayou Burger with housemade potato salad, garnished by a pickle slice and peperoncino on a piece of green. My man ordered the cod fish & chips; he requested the sweet potato fries as his chips, and added a side order of collard greens. The fried green tomatoes were lightly breaded, plated on a small bed of spring greens, and drizzled with a ranch dressing. I am not a ranch dressing fan by any means, but this made for a nice content of flavor to the starter. My burger was cooked medium rare as requested, juicy from the first to last bite, perfectly charred and covered in melted cheddar cheese, and topped with iceberg lettuce leaves and a slice of fried green tomato. I was disappointed that it did not have any cajun flavor that I could detect, and I let the chef know when he asked for our feedback. He let me know that he will pay more attention to that and that I can always request for a greater level of spiciness if I desire. I stole a bite of the cod, lightly beer battered, flaky and delicious. The fries had no outstanding notes, but hit the spot for me. The collard greens were tasty, though not my favorite vegetable to partake. All in all, it was a fresh and fantastic lunch. \n\nI am looking forward to coming back to try the Gumbo, the crab cakes, the shrimp po' boy sandwiches, and much more. This is a great add to the Midtown offers! Get in The Sticks and try them out!!", "Had the catfish dinner delivered to me I'm LA by Andre & it was delicious especially the sweet potatoes, only wish there had been two dinners\n Congratulations Patty & Staff \nHope to visit soon for a sit down meal", "I was so excited for real Southern Food in Reno per the online chatter. Perhaps they need some more time to work out the kinks.\nPros: Midtown! Fried green tomatoes were very flavorful and cooked well. The waitress was very attentive, fried chicken was cooked well.\nCons: Took for-ever! And there were only 3 tables in there. Cornbread, dry & overcooked. Baked beans - super sweet for our taste. Waitress brought us both the wrong thing (it happens) so we were there a really long time. Menu said thigh & leg for the fried chicken - we got a breast (not a big deal just not what I was expecting). \nIts early - I hope they work through it all. I'll try again in 6 months.", "Really tasty food, good and friendly service, food came out reasonably quickly. Shrimp PoBoy was great, and coffee was really good too, not weak diner coffee. I wish them well.", "Our first time at this restaurant for an early dinner. Our server, Gina, was pleasant and extremely attentive. She even lowered the shades to keep the sun out of our eyes.\n\nWe had the green fried tomatoes, hog headcheese and fried chicken. The fried green tomatoes were light and not greasy. The hog headcheese was full of flavor and delicious. The fried chicken, oh, the fried chicken, were crunchy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. Gina told us the chicken were marinated in buttermilk and hot sauce overnight. No wonder they were so tasty! \n\nWe didn't expect perfection since they just opened a week and a half at this location. In fact, we had a couple of hiccups with our orders, but Gina promptly took care of them without hesitation. She is a gem!\n\nWe will be back for the food, but moreover, for the wonderful service!", "The customer service was poor, and our waitress forgot many items throughout the night. Waited an hour and 20 minutes, while watching multiple couples come and go, before we ever received our food. \n\nI ordered fried chicken, mac and cheese, and coleslaw. The chicken was undercooked (inedible) and mac and cheese was cold, even after bringing it up to the server. I received yet another cold plate of mac and cheese. Same with the others in my party. \n\nI will always support small businesses, but I will definitely never eat at the the Mustard Seed again. I can only hope that management sees this, and fixes it in the near future. Please take this into consideration before eating here. It broke the bank, and wasn't worth, I repeat wasn't worth it.", "Stopped in for dinner, was empty when we arrived but picked up soon after.\n\nI believe Tabatha was our server and she was friendly and for the most part gave decent service; although forgot the water I requested.\n\nAfter looking at the menu I almost suggested we leave as the prices seemed to me a bit too high for what was on offer. But then I figured we should see if it is worth it, to answer that now, no would be the correct answer.\n\nIt took a while for us to order as Gus could not decide what he wanted, well that is not exactly right. He was going to order the fried chicken but refused to pay the price they wanted for one piece of chicken. So oddly enough he ordered the ribeye steak and I the cat fish. We also had the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were ok but were too expensive for what you get. Gus had with his steak mashed potato and gravy of which the potato had no flavour and the gravy was like dish water. The mac and cheese he had was cold and like a hard brick. The steak it self was on par with an eight dollar breakfast steak. My fish was ok but a bit salty, the salad was boring and the yams were ok. OK is not what one wants. We ordered a piece of cake that was supposed to be a caramel something or another. NO caramel or flavor but what we got was another hard cube of what looked and tasted like an apple bread pudding. Not a good bread pudding either.\nThe food was just not good. It was like going to relatives home where they have a reputation of being good but this is only out of kindness and it is all just too unfortunate. You can forgive a relative, but not a restaurant asking way too much money.\nThis place really needs to step up its game.", "We had the Catfish sandwich and the fried green tomatoes BLT. Great food and great service. Thanks Gina we will be back!", "This is a new spot in midtown. It has been a while since I have had southern food. The first thing I noticed on the menu was crab cakes and fried green tomatoes. I love crab cakes, so that's what I ordered. It came with 2 burger size patties on a bed of greens. The dipping dressing was very good. I used the leftover sauce to dip fries in too. The server forgot to put out appetizer plates, but no biggie. It is more intimate to share from the same plate. \nI shared the Blacken Bleu burger and the fried tomato BLT. They were both good. Both sandwiches came with fried green tomatoes, which is also why I chose the crab cakes appetizer over the tomatoes starter. I liked the fried tomato BLT more than the Blacken Bleu burger because the BBB tasted like a regular Bleu cheese burger. It was good but not as \"southern\" as I was expecting.\nI chose the potato salad as one of the sides. The dressing has more mustard taste than mayo taste. Tasty! \n\nI wanted to try the collard greens, Mac and cheese and catfish, but I can only eat so much for lunch. Will try it next time. Service was friendly." ]

[ "Persuaded to go by Mexican-cuisine enthusiasts, I decided to give Mexi Cali a try. I was sorely disappointed. First, atmosphere is very important to me and Mexi Cali did not have any. The plain tables and chairs with minimal decoration was just not working for me. \n\nBecause I was wary about this place to begin with, I cautiously ordered the nachos. Big mistake. The tortillas were stale and none of the flavors melded. The cheese wasn't even all the way melted. I didn't know it was possible to have bad nachos until now. There are plenty of places to get good Mexican food in Philly... MexiCali is just not one of them.", "I ate at Mexicali for the first time about two weeks ago. It's a real shame that I hadn't sampled their food before, having lived in West Philly for over two years. I ordered the Cali burrito and added the sweet potatoes, which I am convinced made the burrito even more super delicious. My only complaint is that Mexicali closes at 8pm and the staff tries to get you out of there even earlier by rudely putting chairs up on tables around you while you are sitting there simply trying to enjoy your meal. They started \"closing down\" around 7:30-7:45. Not a good way to run your restaurant, folks.", "Great in truck form, In store front form not so much. So I'm pretty much basing this review on the burrito truck awesomeness!\n\nFriendly Spanish women walking me through all the incredible burrito contents is enough to make me happy when it doesn't offer too many contents. But when you toss in things like plantains, spicy chicken, guacamole, and multiple beans it gets me giddy with joy. These burrito trucks definitely know how to pound out an inexpensive burrito that's big on contents! and it dishes out some solid veggie options too!\n\nMaria's right too. Be prepared to order fast during lunch rush. Or else be prepared to have me bowl you over for plantains. fair warning.", "+++++ Truck Review++++++++\n\nMMMM Burritos that are super-vegi friendly! They have great combos, including roasted vegis, spinach, fresh avocado, and even tofu! Each burrito is even grilled, which just increases amazing flavor - it must be the texture! I usually get mine without the rice, otherwise it's just to much food, but like to add in a little something special, like sweet potatoes, roasted peppers, and extra hot hot sauce.", "+++++Truck Review+++++\nI asked for black beans in my burrito there - they said they didn't have those, just pinto. Pathetic.\nFor awhile I was considering quitting my job and running a cart called \"FlexiCali\", in which I would actually be considerate enough to stock a can of black beans. But then that other Mexican truck Lucky Spot opened up and that was much better anyway since they have the mole.", "I loves me some MexiCali. I frequent both the truck at 38th and Walnut and the restaurant at 40th and Sansom. They used to own a truck on Spruce b/t 36th and 37th, but that's now \"MexiPhilly\" and under new management--that's probably what Jeremy L.'s review is talking about, because that's where Lucky's Spot is located, and MexiCali always has black beans.\n\nThe burritos are big and really good; the tofu and plaintains are especially great. It's very vegetarian-friendly (black beans are veg, pintos are in meat stock). I don't know what the hate on the restaurant is about; it's small and not attractive, but usually serves faster than the truck and gives the option between large and small (truck-size) burritos. They just revamped their menu as well, getting rid of the less-than-stellar nachos and tacos and adding more burrito options.\n\nFor \"dining\", go up the street to Distrito, but for big tasty cheap deliciousness, MexiCali is my go-to University City burrito shop.", "Best burrito in Philly. Try the one that has some special marinated pork and plantains. Amazing. And cheap (definitely a no-frills place).", "This was a food cart converted to a restaurant. I think they did better as a cart, personally, but the owners seemed happy when we talked to them.\n\nThey have a very decent burrito. Second on the campus, I think, to the cart in front of the Quad entry.\n\nTheir space is a bit plain and small, but that's their specialty. I can't pull myself away to try other foods, although I hear they're decent. Definitely vegetarian-friendly, they asked if we could have meat when we ordered.", "I love MexiCali; whenever I try a burrito anywhere else I just compare it to here and it doesn't match up. I was actually just in the MIssion district of San Francisco which is known for its burritos, and I prefer MexiCali's to any of the ones I had there. \n\nMy favorite is black bean with plantains - vegetarian and delicious and cheap! And I love that they grill the burrito, makes it so amazing!", "I recently graduated from Penn and while I was there, Mexicali was my go to spot for lunch/dinner. There were weeks when I went every day and days when I went for all my waking meals.\n\nYou have the option of getting a small or large when you order a burrito, which I appreciate. They have a great variety of burritos to choose from, with ingredients as varied as sweet potato and as classic as guacamole (excellent, btw). I also enjoy their quesadillas a great deal and believe the quality of their ingredients, in any of their available forms, to be much higher than Qdoba or Chipotle, the other available burrito shops.\n\nThe owner, Richard, is a nice guy, though he can be a bit brusque. There is a certain amount of resentment there since the arrival of Chipotle and a subsequent (but I believe, unwarranted) drop in business.\n\nAll in all, Mexicali is a great spot for a delicious burrito which I endorse whole heartedly. Give it a try!" ]

The meatball is super tender, it is hard to believe they actual hold together.\n\nI work about 10 minutes driving distance from the restaurant. I go there to eat lunch once a week and I usually call ahead and when I arrived to the restaurant, the dishes is already ready to be enjoyed.\n\nHere are some pictures of the dishes! \nhttp://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=103264\n\nA must visit if you like or don't like Chinese food!!! Ask for some recommendations... I am sure you will like it!!!", "The chef of this place is well know for Sichuan dishes. The namesake owner, Han, is a cool guy who is more than happy to recommend dishes for you once you let him know you are interested in authentic cuisine.", "The one star is for the service. I couldn't tell you about the food because it never came. My friend and I took our kids here on a Friday night for dinner. Although when we were seated the restaurant was not very crowded (plenty of open tables), it took over 15 minutes for the waiter to take our order and then that was it. After 40 additional minutes we left without getting our food. We asked our waiter twice for our food or an update, and got nothing. We asked for rice and got nothing.", "One reason it couldn't get much better is that Han is right there with you, helping you by suggesting things that are the most popular or finding out what you really like! He is so personable that I stayed quite a bit longer than I would have for a normal lunch. I ate there today, since I was in the area. I was almost the only diner since it was around three pm.\n\nThe appetizer I had for lunch consisted of eight dumplings in chili oil.\n(Some of the most tender dumplings I've had.)\n\nNext was the lamb in dry pot, brought to the table still simmering.\nPerfectly tender, with thin slices of ginger and plenty of mushrooms and peppers.\n\nI took home the cold sliced beef and tripe in hot sauce, which I just now sampled a bit of. Again, tender and medium level of heat.\n\nTwo other items were taken home:\nShredded chicken in hot sesame sauce (cold and succulent) and the pea leaves with minced garlic (my wife's fave).\n\nI can't wait to go back; since I no longer live in Philly, I don't have any authentic places like this close by. Only in Chinatown (Philly or NYC) have I had anything that was this good, in our general area.\n\nI haven't been to the Exton location, but have taken note that the chef has a different style.\n\nIt was also fun discussing my experience collecting and preparing frogs with Han. Next time I go in, frog it shall be....", "Han Dynasty is an absolutely fabulous Chinese restaurant hidden in a very inconspicuous strip mall. We drove by this place one week-night when it had first opened on a hunch, before it was rated one of the best restaurants in Philly, and it was full of Chinese people. There is one good rule I follow to judge whether a particular restaurant of a specific cusine (whether it's Indian, Chinese, etc) is any good, and that is the number of the customers eating there of that particular national origin. So on that note, we decided to give it a try. \n\nIt is a BOYB (unless it's changed recently) so you can bring a nice bottle of wine with you to enjoy your food. The decor is nothing spectacular (not a great first date type of place) but the food will blow you away. \n\nThe Hunan Style Triple delight is something I highly recommend and get almost every time, although most things on the menu are very good and well prepared. A word from the wise, don't get into the authentic Chinese dishes unless you have had them before or are feeling adventurous. I've let Han pick my food a couple of times and I was a little disappointed to be honest. The dishes were lovely but just not what I prefer personally. Again, I would recommend to only get these dishes if you are a fan of authentic Chinese.\n\nThe waiters are all very friendly. Han does his absolute best to make sure you feel welcome and have a great time. Most waiters speak very poor English but they usually repeat your order and every time I've been there it's been great. You usually don't need a reservation on weeknights but on Friday-Saturday it may not be a bad idea. \n\nAdditionally, it's also a great place to take out from! The portions are very generous and the prices are very fair. \n\nAll-in-all I would highly recommend Han Dynasty. Don't let the strange location and the Dollar store next door scare you off, this place is truly a hidden gem.", "If you want amazing Chinese cuisine, Han is the place to visit. Their Szechuan inspired dishes are very well done and the total package of the meal hits all your senses. The restaurant is secluded off of a busy stretch of Route 100. I've driven pass many times and never really noticed until one day I made a wrong turn. Curiosity got the best of me so I ventured in and was greeted with a warm smile and a pot of hot tea. The wait staff were very knowledgeable and provided excellent recommendations. \n\nFor starters you can never go wrong with steamed dumplings, the great thing is they weren't overcooked but just right, tender and moist. I went with a spicy dish of stir fried Calamari. The thing with squid is that it can be a tough ingredient in any dish, but Han did a wonderful job pairing the ingredients and it was by far one of the most delicious seafood dishes I've had, everything just melted in your mouth and left you wanting more as soon as you were done. The portions are a perfect size and the price is not that heavy on the pocket.\n\nNext time I am definitely bringing a bottle of wine or two with me. Two thumbs up!", "This place is pretty good for the suburbs. They have a ton of choices on their menu so you should be able to find something you want to try. The thing I like most about this place is that the sauces are not overwhelming. Some other places drench the food in this one brown sauce that everyone seems to have. The food should taste good without a huge heaping of sauce and this place does that well.", "My favorite Chinese (Sichuan) restaurant in the Philadelphia area and worth the one hour drive from Center City. I've eaten in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and this place is authentic, they don't hold back on the spice. Their menu is extensive and most everything I've tried is good.

The pub food tends to be a little more upscale that most of the others around Philly, but it's pretty damn good food so its worth it. The fries are amazing and are the perfect accompaniment to late night drinking.", "I have never eaten here, but as far as a pub goes it is pretty decent. However, I would not go as far to say that it is as unique as a \"black sheep\" in the pub world. It is your typical pub...dimly lit, dark wood, beer, but the crowd is nice and so are the bartenders. Black Sheep is a good place to hang out in a casual setting, where you can hear yourself and others talk.", "This is the first pub I've been at that serves \"lightly fried calamari\", humus, chicken wings, braised lamb and shepherd's pie. It looks like a regular pub, but only half the items on the menu are pub fare, the other half are upscale restaurant items. Their beer selection is not small at all, but totally uninteresting. Too many generic stuff. But the food was fabulous.", "Gastropubs abound in Philly and Black Sheep, like its sister pub Dark Horse (notice a theme?) has an eclectic menu of food from imperialized nations. They go for a British style pub feel, but it really isn't a whole lot like pubs in Britain (which often have sub-par food and are comfortably shoddy). It gets pretty damn busy in this place of a weekend night, but for the area, it isn't too bad. \n\nI wouldn't call it 'upscale' but it ain't a dive either. I wouldn't want to be here on St. Patrick's Day, but I have a feeling I will be boarded up inside my apartment that day.", "This is a cozy little bar with nooks and crannies and like previous yelpers have noted, quite enough to have a nice conversation with friends. I've only had booze here, but the service was great and the overall experience was a welcome break from the football crowd nearby at Irish Pub.", "Great pub! Good selection of beers. Nice staff. The food is always fresh and delicious. The burgers are wonderful and HUGE. The garlic fries are giant wedges of potato fried and smothered in chopped garlic and herbs. So much garlic that they are not for the faint of heart! They smell so good that others in the bar came by to ask what we had. \n\nSkip the hummus. It's not bad, but you can get better elsewhere and they do other things better. Same for the sambal chicken wings.\n\nBut do remember the garlic fries.", "I'm definitely going to have to try the food the next time I come here because it definitely sounds right up my alley. Overall this is the perfect middle ground pub in Philadelphia. it definitely isn't a dive but it's far from upper class. It doesn't have a crap beer selection but it doesn't have the best. The last time I was here I was able to get the Monty Python ale on tap which can be a pretty rare occasion. since it has the middle crowd appeal it brings in a good mix of people. \nI also love the dimly lit, wooden decor. It's the way a pub should be by my book.", "They have Boddington's on tap! Though in my mind I could totally end the review here, I should talk about their food.\n\nOther than the hummus (way too much cumin in my book), everything they have is honestly amazing. The calamari has never been over done, their fish and chips is SO good, wings, shepards' pie...YUM!\n\nAlso, if you need a break from the office, this is a great place to have a drinking lunch. Quiet, not too many suits, and they have a TV so you watch the Phils or the World Cup while you drink away your stress.", "The Black Sheep never disappoints me. When I first moved to Philadelphia, I tried to eat here and sat at a table forever trying to get service. I eventually left. Little did I know that if you sit down stairs, that is not the real restaurant, simply the bar. Yes, you can get food, but on a busy night you'd be better off going upstairs to the dining room (where there is also another bar and TVs to watch the game).\n\nUpstairs the restaurant area fits in well with one's idea of what an Irish Pub/Inn would feel like. Wood floors, soft lighting, wooden booths and tables, and small pained glass windows. There are several large tables upstairs for groups up to (I would guess) 8 people. There are pictures of sheep, everywhere. Go figure.\n\nOn the subject of food, I'm always satisfied with what I order. Every day they have a special menu of \"additional\" entree options. They are always something interesting dishes (henceforth, not always Irish) for reasonable prices. Entrees rarely break the $20 mark. The main menu is also very good. If I were to go just to get some dinner without wanting anything special, I would get the \"Bangers and Mash\" or \"Guinness Beef Stew\" or \"Sheppard's Pie\" for $10.\n\nThe desserts are fine, but nothing spectacular. They make their own apple crisp, but have the other desserts brought in from a local bakery unlike some other local restaurants. (See my review of \"Royal Tavern\".)\n\nI will make and additional comment about their food pricing. It appears as though the more \"fancy\" menu items are priced more in line with their inherent value and the more \"common\" items are more expensive. Here's what I mean. The other night there were braised pork medallions with two sides and a lemon grass salad for $14. A burger costs $10. It just doesn't make sense. The burgers are great and come with cheese, caramelized onions, and fries, but the most any restaurant (outside of Barclay Prime) can charge for a burger is $8.75 in my opinion. (To me, a burger is only worth $6.75 and that should include lettuce, tomato and fries.)\n\nMy other issue is that the upstairs dining room has THREE TVs. It is a small space and the glowing images get distracting and tiresome. The only reason people go upstairs to watch the game is because the downstairs is too crowded. Typically, there are about four people actually watching and everyone else is trying to look the members of their table in the eye without looking over to watch a Sierra Mist commercial.\n\nOther than that issue, I love going to this place and will return again and again.", "So I'm sitting on Yelp reading reviews by neighborhood looking for a place to go to dinner, and I come across Black Sheep. I love Black Sheep so much that I decided to read the new reviews. I'd say that most people have an accurate grasp on this place (particularly Bill M. and George R.) There is good and bad here, but I really do think the good out ranks the bad. \n\nOk, they have tvs which can distract bad dates, loved ones, and the elderly, alike. But, the rest of the atmosphere is nice. The wooden booths, soft lighting, and Guinness paraphernalia create a warm, and inviting environment. \n\nSure, the beer selection isn't great, but it's not bad, and they pour a mean Guinness (complete with the shamrock). \n\nAnd sure, a burger here costs 10 bones. Most people would argue that $10 is a lot for a burger where you chose your own toppings, and a plate full of fries. $10 is a lot for a burger and fries. However, this burger is very large. It's easily twice the size of a Monk's burger (that costs $8 and doesn't have fries). And here, they actually cook your burger to order, unlike some places that only claim to (ahem, Monk's).\n\nBut really, the food here is delicious. Last time I was here, I had a special that was a lamb sandwich with curry mayo and mint pesto. It was so good that even though I was full half way through, I ate every last bite. It hurt, but it was worth it.\n\nAll in all, my only real problem with the Black Sheep is that their sheppard's pie is made with ground beef. That's just not right." ]

Sure, they ask if you want more or \"is that enough\"...but still, how much is too much when it's endless toppings? To say the least, the quality of ingredients are not quality at all. My chunks of chicken were pink, fatty, and slimy. Yes, slimy. She put one artichoke heart on the salad and was breaking it into pieces onto the lettuce, to which I just told her to throw in a handful of them and call it a day. Okay, I tried one bite of pizza and it was alright. Thin, crispy crust and flavorful. \n\nThe staff was OVERLY friendly and seemed too forced, which isn't a bad thing if you want to be asked how everything is about 30 times in a half hour. I think I counted 13 people working there on a Sunday, mid afternoon. It must have been their lunch break as well because eight of them were ordering in line, in front of paying customers as we were watching and waiting for our pizza to bake.\n\nSince I'm not a huge pizza fan and the salad was terrible, I don't think I'll ever be back to Blaze. Sorry :(", "Here's the breakdown:\nIn comparison to the local build your own, fast, pie pizzas around town, Blaze's dough is pretty good.\nIt's thin, not chewy, perfect bite.\n\nI do however like the toppings, ingredients, and service at Mod Pizza.\n\nThe meat choices at Blaze didn't seem appealing. I personally don't like meatballs on pizza so I tried to opt for thin meats. Is that what they call it (salami, ham, etc.)? Pretty much the same ingredients like black olives, garlic, etc in comparison to Mod. \n\nStaff looked like they were having trouble. Right off the bat the music was loud so I couldn't hear a single thing the first staff was trying to ask. The second staff seemed a bit nervous. Last staff seemed more confident but confused? I personally don't care if you use the same glove for black olives and then you go right in for the garlic... but some people may not like that if you haven't changed the glove for the next person down the line.\n\nOverall, it's another great place down in the South part of the town! It still hasn't won me over where I'll go often. I do however like the slice cuts at Blaze as Mod tends to do four instead of 8.", "Pizza was amazing! I will for sure be going back. Great customer service as well! \n\nJust make sure if you do have food allergies, just as i do, that you make sure they change their gloves and pizza cutter befire handleing your pizza. Im deathly allergic to blue cheese and if it was for my husband i would be in the hospital right now. So i would recommend paying close attention to the pizza in front of yours and whats being put on their pizza so the employee can change there gloves before toching your toppings.\n\nBesides that great pizza", "I was in Reno for work and needed to grab a quick yet fulfilling meal. I have been to a blaze type place before and figured a quick pizza is the way to go. \n\nI walked into what seems like a recently opened restaurant and was very shocked to see the place was packed. Families and individuals were not only in a line to the door but every table was full. \n\nI figured this to be a result of a newly opened restaurant, until I got to my pizza. \n\nThe ordering process was simple the staff piled my pie with wtv I wanted, there was no limit to the mass of toppings.\n\nThe pie came out hot and glorious. I was able to squeeze into a spot sit down and go to town. The pizza for ~$8 was not only perfectly cooked but the fresh ingredients and customization was well worth the money. \n\nI will definitely be back whenever I can be back and recommend this spot for anyone looking for a quick meal while in Reno", "Great ambiance and service...the staff was exceptionally friendly and they piled on the toppings without question.\n\nThe pizza quality was next level, I have been to other fast pizza spots like MODS and Pieology, Blaze takes the slice...excellent quality ingredients and the dough was chewy and well balanced. I would definitely recommend going to any of my friends in the area.", "I love pizza and am a fanatic. Whenever we travel we search around to find a good pizza place and boy did blaze deliver. Not gonna lie was a bit skeptical at first since I've tried similar spots like pieology but blaze is on another level. The dough tastes amazing and quality of the toppings is really good. I definitely recommend getting the high crust and the garlic pesto paste on the crust which the friendly staff recommended. Im not usually a big crust guy but that pesto gave it a unique flavor I could go for that by itself. Blaze fulfilled my pizza craving I will definitely be back with friends. The options of pizzas you can create are endless I'm looking forward to experimenting around and see what I can come up with next time. Also the restaurant was super clean which surprised me. Even the drink selection is really good the lemonade was on point tasted like it was homemade. And to top it all the owner came to our table and offered us free brownies which made my day! I'm honestly a bit bummed out that we don't have a blaze like this in my hometown." ]

I've had so many culinary adventures and aside from a few uploads of corned beef hash, I haven't shared them with anyone. The Meatball Chronicles never reserve seats for the excessively meticulous. The engagements have included canned meat mountains, dirty tables, fraudulent Elvis booths, 6000+ calorie challenges, breakfast cocktails, sake bombs then falling for the love of my life (and not the other way around), raw food, cooked food, northern food, southern food, a meatloaf marathon, a few instances of food poisoning, some hand holding in public, and much more. I can only pray that some day I make it to Australia to eat those berries that grow in the digestive systems of emus and can only be found by picking through their crap. \n\n\nThree Coins Diner, Tampa: Last Sunday was like any other Sunday. We woke up on a mission for calories. In the mood for a hole in the wall, greasy southern breakfast joint, we settled on a Nebraska Ave location... we were on a mission. But Nebraska?!? Should I change my Burberry boots? Should I rent a gun? This was sure to be amazing. As we walked in, I was instantly bummed. Where's the big fat Southern Lady? Where are the cackling motel landlords? Why is everyone here a white elderly couple? Thankfully, there wasn't time to dwell on this because I was starving and knew what I wanted. We immediately ordered country fried steak and gravy, grits, corned beef hash, eggs over easy, a side of sausage links, two coffees, and two waters. \n\n\nThe table next to us had two young guys and their food was served within minutes. What the F?!?! That grimy bastard ordered the same thing I ordered. Should I stand up to use the restroom and accidentally drop my face into it? I don't want to wait any longer. Thank goodness my better half has caught my attention with his outrageous Sunday morning thought. \"I'd be interested in genetically engineering a child\" I must have looked dumbfounded because he immediately got defensive and said \"WHAT? We did it with cows all the time.\" I wasn't dumbfounded, I was lost in my own thoughts again... could i genetically engineer a child to have a fast metabolism so it could join me on my culinary adventures without being obese? Clearly these adventures are no place for children. \"If you and I did this, it would definitely need my nose and my boobs.\" Really? You are a man, you don't have boobs. Oh shit neither do I. And what's this crap about my nose? You don't like my face? AHHH THE FOOD!!!! A GLORIOUS MOUNTAIN OF CORNED BEEF HASH. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE I WANT THIS HASH NOW. \n\n\nTo be honest, I was so starving that I would have enjoyed anything. But man, this hash... it was freakin' amazing. Crusted on the outside and everything. The grits were okay but anything is okay with a puddle of butter in it. Sausage- Good. Eggs- An egg's an egg. Country Fried Steak and Gravy- Well the gravy wasn't sausage gravy and although it wasn't my order, i'd say it was average. Major fail on the lack of sausage--they don't serve it after 11AM. I won't be back... the hash is worth doing illegal things for, but I'm positive there is more hash to be tasted someplace new.", "24/7 diner in Tampa. What more can you ask for.

The fact that I was sitting across from a prostitute that was just getting off \"work\" for the night, was a bonus. I got to listen to her haggle with the waitress over how much extra jelly cups would cost and why she couldn't do substitutions for free on certain menu items for take-out orders. I couldn't tell if these silly restrictions were legitimate, or if she was a regular trouble maker that they were trying to eliminate from coming back. Either way, I got dinner and a show.", "3am.

Taste the food, and you will be pleasantly rewarded with eggs that are cooked to diner-levels of perfection and fresh ingredients. Solid home-cooked food, and coffee that tastes -good- without being pretentious. You will be served by quick and efficient staff of lifers that smile when smiled at, and leave you quietly in peace with your breakfast if you seem to be in need of peace, and who isn't?\n\nThe staff and patrons are real, and the place is obviously an institution, with good reason.

I guarantee you will know what the people around you have ordered and you will probably wind up in a conversation with them as well. I would guess that the place holds about 35 people. What the restaurant lacks in atmosphere is more than made up for in delicious home-style Italian cooking. If you are familiar with real Italian cooking, this is the real deal.

The salads, appetizers and desserts are dynamite as well. Also, do not be afraid to ask for more bread. I have been there numerous times and never had an entree that didn't please. It is BYOB.

It's probably not the best spot for a large group for an impromptu dinner. Reservation would be a must since it gets quite crowded by 8pm.

If you didn't prepare, no worries, there is a wine shop with a great selection just a block and half down the street. I had the Tagliatelle pasta with sweet sausage and it was very good. Sausage can be a bit salty but with the pasta, it's a good blend. My company had the special fish, St. Petersburg, and Pescadora pasta. The latter is outstanding. All of it went down very well with the great bottle of San Angel Pinot Grigio from Tuscany. We opted for the vanilla custard for dessert and it was so good.

[ "On the ground level at the southeast corner of Circle Center lies the newest addition to the downtown restaurant district not affiliated with Mass Ave. Burger Study is a scaled down (not watered down) play on the Harry & Izzy's and St. Elmo's just around the corner that zeroes in on beefy and delicious burgers with options for chicken, tuna, lamb, turkey and veggie burgers as well. Sandwiches range from $9-$30 (if you're fancy) and are big enough to feed a hungry man sized man. They've got a variety of sides including mac n cheese, side salads and other staple items ranging from $3 to $6. They have a pretty diverse list of starters from $7 to $14 and milkshakes or cheesecake for dessert. \nBeers on tap extend well beyond the Bud,Miller,Coors stuff and are sufficient to please those who like the hoppy stuff. I even spotted some tap handles I didn't recognize. They've also got a full bar so there's that. \n\nMy burger was perfect. I opted for the French, medium rare and it was exactly what I was hoping for. Every single item in the description was evident in every bite and in proper proportion. I also tried the Southern Classic which was equally good. I don't think you'd go wrong ordering anything from the menu and I want to go back and try them all. The Doctorate at $30 is likely divine and maybe I'll try that on a Treat Yo'self day. \n\nI like the layout and decor. The place is set up like a triangle and you can see a tv no matter where you're sitting. Service was good and the A-game was brought on every interaction.", "I was treated to Burger Study last night for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend! I love the environment and the décor. It was actually very similar to a recent brewery I visited in Columbus, OH. It can be a little dark in the booths so if you're wanting more lightening, I would sit along one of the sides.\n\nThe service was impeccable as always. The host stand is a little to the right of the revolving door when you walk in. Our server was named Madison and she was phenomenal. She recommended her favorites (which I had been eyeing so it confirmed my decisions). \n\nWe ordered the Beer Cheese Tots for our starter. It was a very interesting take on tater tots. It was delicious! My only recommendation would be more cheese sauce or providing a side of cheese sauce, it was a little dry. We also ordered the Mule and a Rhinegeist beer for our beverages. The Mule came in a cute copper cup, which is key for a great mule IMO.\nI ordered the Stanford (turkey) and my boyfriend order the Espanol. Both of us loved our burgers! \n\nTo wrap it all up, we ordered the caramel milkshake (recommended by Madison too). OMG I WANT TO GO BACK JUST FOR THE SHAKE! Well....the rest too but that shake was just the right amount of creamy plus caramel sauce chunks in it. \n\nThe only thing that would have made this visit better was a birthday treat! I will be back for more!", "Ordered the Prime Burger with a side of tots. The service was extremely slow. The tots were good, but nothing special. The burger was disappointing. For $19, I expect the burger to be seasoned and taste like beef. The burger did not rest properly and was tasteless. I wouldn't recommend coming here.", "Wow, I love it already, even though they only opened on September 25, partly because they have the best veggie burger I have ever had. It is named the Ivy League ($11) and I think it is the Beyond Meat brand. I also had the Onion Rings, which were great. My buddy had the Build-Your-Own Burger and the Fried Cauliflower, which was a substitute for the Mac 'n Cheese ($6), so I don't know that they will always have it. He said both were very good. They have a great long bar which we like. There was lots of energy, fueled by the diners and the music, however, it was acceptable, maybe because there was some sound absorbing materials in the decor, I think. The staff was friendly and efficient. A surprise, given that they had basically just opened. The restrooms are uni-sex-Yay!, or is it Yea!. Whatever. This is a definite new favorite place of mine. Not real cheap, but worth it.", "I stopped in for a burger during the opening week. This spin-off from St Elmo's/Harry & Izzy's is located on the street level of the Circle Centre Mall with access from Georgia Street, or from the south escalator if you are coming from the parking garage in the mall.\n\nThis is a full service restaurant, so they take reservations and have you wait to be seated by the hostess. They have multiple bartenders and have waiter staff. The bar is in the center of the dining space, with four top tables lining the outer walls. Multiple televisions play silently while you wait/dine.\n\nOverall, I would rate the waiters/bartenders to be very good. They were friendly and maintained my water glass throughout. However, the kitchen was running behind for a place that specializes in burgers. It took a full 30 minutes from the time I placed my order to get my food. I get that it's their first week, but most folks working downtown cannot afford a lengthy wait on their lunch hours. So, definitely room for improvement there.\n\nAs far as the food, let me suggest ordering the Zucchini Straws. Yum! Long strips of zucchini are lightly breaded and fried to a delightful crunch on the outside with a light airy filling on the inside. The aioli dipping sauce is perfect for the side.\n\nI decided to try the pricey Prime Degree burger, which is basically a burger with BLT ingredients and cheese (plus an aioli sauce for a condiment.) The flavor was good. My burger was a little more done than I ordered but close enough to not take points off. Now here's the takeaway: I don't know if their beef is that superior to other high end burger places, but at the end of the day, the more ingredients you add to the sandwich, the less burger flavor comes through. My burger had a nice char flavor (as requested), but when all the other flavors were added, I couldn't really taste a difference. I can't recommend spending $19 for a burger (without sides). \n\nReview #399", "First off service was great. I got the southern classic it was super overdone and really dry. My wife's burger was decent. In a town with so many good burger places would recommend looking elsewhere. Our favorite place is Bru", "I won a gift card to attend burger study through a Instagram draw a burger challenge. Woah! I'm always down for the opportunity to win food! Lol\n\nDecor: Very nice and clean restaurant! I love when restaurants have water on the table to pour on your own( sometimes the wait between servicing tables can be too much) \n\nAppetizer: this was my biggest style. I'm a tender girl to the end so we opted for tenders for an appetizer. The menu said buffalo style for the tenders but the buffalo sauce was just on the side. It's my understanding typically food that's buffalo style so tossed in buffalo sauce. \n\nMy meal: I ordered the double burger with fries. It was an amazing meal! The burger came on a potato bun so it was VERY soft. My only issue was with the thousand island style sauce it made my bun also extremely soggy. \n\nMy husband: he ordered the homecoming and said it was one of the best burgers he's ever had. I also really liked his onion rings & how they have a thinner cut to them. \n\nAll& all it was a great experience for coming opening week and I will be back! Love the location as well!", "Welcome to Indy, Burger Study!\n\nWhere to go downtown when you want a burger? No seriously.. we all know Bru is a great option but if you're in from out of town and without a car - Burger Study is a must! I am loving all these new restaurants that are taking over the old Nordstrom place.\n\nThe idea behind burger study is to use dry aged prime rib. Yes.. you read that right. They have several options including a luxurious $30 burger. \n\nWe decided to start with the fried avocado strips. They were delicious! Not soggy and the ranch dip was great. I'm a big fan of the fact that they carry several Indiana beer options. He ordered the homecoming burger and I stuck with the stanford. I'm a sucker for sprouts!\n\nBoth came out looking great! They weren't oversized, but filling enough. I had the fries as a side which were your normal fries. He ordered the bacon mac and cheese. It was delightful.\n\nNo desserts for us - however I have heard the shakes are amazing! \n\nThe environment was hip and relaxed. We enjoyed our time at burger study and can't wait to head back.", "Enjoyed our night at Burger Study. The server was prompt and had great suggestions. The fried cauliflower was almost too good - definitely not healthy and I'm not complaining about that! \nI ordered the homecoming burger. I loved the thick cut root beer bacon and the prime rib was very good. I think the burger could come with fries for the price- but here you'll have to pay extra for that. We opted for the the Zucchini straws which I think were cut a little too thick and therefor kind of soggy. \nThe milkshakes looked amazing but after the beer and burgers, we were full. Definitely need to go back to try them!\nI like Burger Study but I feel it's a little pricey for what it is.", "Nice, upscale burger joint downtown! Prices are reasonable but they do also offer wet, aged burgers for about $30. \n\nI got the chililiques (spelling?) for an appetizer. Wasn't sure what to expect but it was more like soggy nachos so FYI if you are into that. The crunchy non-soggy pieces were pretty good. \n\nHad the Walk of Fame burger and my boyfriend had the double major both DELICIOUS." ]

[ "I eat here at least once a week. The slices are a pretty good deal. The people who work there are really cool. I like the Athenian the best. The tomatoes marinated in balsamic on that pie are great. The sandwiches and soups are good too.\n\nSuperb Sushi moved in when Ridley's went belly up. It's a little expensive for lunch but damn good. I like the firecracker and dragon's breath rolls.", "Frankly, I think this is the best pizza in Boise. Everything is fresh, very tasty, the slices are big and the pies are huge! The owners give the restaurant a homey, family fun feel. This is the kind of Pizza place you remember from when you were a kid . . . except the pie is better and the restaurant is much cooler. \n\nThey have the expected pizzas and some very unique creations. I'm not one to stray too far from the norm with Pizza, but they've talked me in to expanding my palate a little and I really haven't had anything I didn't enjoy.\n\nVery nice patio for hot summer evenings. They really support the community as well, the last time I was there they were sponsoring a guitar competition for younger players (teens) and gave the winner a performing spot at the restaurant. They are constantly involved and involving the community. I value that in a restaurant, they make you a part of the experience.\n\nI live in Meridian and regularly make the trip to get the Pizza, I just wish they'd open something up closer to me! Check these guys out, you'll be very happy you did.", "Decent lunch special deal (two slices + drink for $5), and occasionally they have some interesting stuff by the slice. But the basics are good. If you catch the pizzas fresh out of the oven, it's better than when they reheat. They tend to over-reheat the slices, and they get gooey.\n\nCrust is too thick to be called a NY pizza, but too thin to be a Chicago deep dish.\n\nVery kid friendly. Great family place. Free wifi (from them or the coffee shop next door, I'm not sure). Overall a very comfortable place to spend a few hours with a laptop if you need a break from home or office.", "I eat here at least twice a week and am always satisfied. When you buy by the slice from selections in the glass counter you can be in and out in under 5 minutes. I'm always keen on straight forward pepperoni, but love the other selections equally. They've been playing around with a taco pizza and it doesn't disappoint! Note, this is NY style - very flat, wide slices and pies. The prices are reasonable.\n\nThe salads and sandwiches are just as good, but take some time to prepare, so budget accordingly.\n\nAlso, they have sushi (separate business/owner I believe) co-locating next to the pizza counter, which may sound like a bad mix, but is great when you crave diversity. The sushi is very good, especially when a trip downtown is not an option.", "Yum, Yum, Yum. I think they are the only place to get sushi on a Sunday night in Boise! Lulu's was a welcome oasis on a night where my friend and I wanted sushi and her kid wanted pizza.\n\nPlus, they deliver!", "This place is so hit and miss. I really want to love it, but the pizza is soggy half the time. I see people saying it's the best in town...not even close. And the sushi is also inconsistent they need some lessons from Fujiyama", "I feel like I might be grading unnecessarily harsh for Lulu's. But when you offer up mediocrity and charge an arm and a leg for it, you're gonna get docked as a result.\n\nFrom personal experience, I'm not sure why they emphasize their New York style pizza on their website. I had their large NY pepperoni pizza, and it was easily the greasiest pizza I've had since moving here. Paper towels to soak up the grease were a necessity. I felt stupid for wanting to try a place other than Guido's for a NY style pie. And it's $7 cheaper at Guido's for the exact same style and size. Ridiculous.\n\nIt took me about two years before I tried them again. I ended up getting a Spartan, a tomato-sauce free pie which included chicken, artichoke hearts, olives, spinach, tomatoes, and feta cheese. The diced tomatoes were nice, marinated in balsamic vinegar which gave the pizza a tangy kick. Even though it's one of those pizzas that doesn't cook long in the oven, my crust was still a little overdone. And they really skimped on the feta, which I love. The overall result was neither bad nor good. But when normally charging $25 for a large, you damn well better offer a stellar pizza, 20\" in size or not. A large cheese pizza runs $18.50. $18.50!! I'd expect this kind of pricing if you were in a primo spot downtown, but not coming down from Bogus Basin. It reeks of \"Let's gouge the starving Bogus Basin patrons as they come down off the hill.\"\n\nThe decor is rather nice, and there's a covered patio that would be great to sit in during the summer months. And I will admit that the people I dealt with were very nice and personable. But I'm done here, because there are better pizza establishments to be had for both basic (Guido's) and specialty (Casanova, which isn't exactly cheap either but offers great and more creative pizza in my opinion).", "Good pizza. Crust is proper and toppings are generous. Some creative choices available. If you don't like slices, and I don't, the smallest pie you can order is 16\". I think a 10 or a 12 would be a wise offering, especially if you want to sell some of your other menu items.\nThat brings me to my next point. What is the deal with the afterthought sushi bar? It's totally out of place and the obviously low turnover rate of the contents would put off any sushi lover.\nNote to owners/managers: you cannot run a restaurant to serve as a hangout for your family and friends, and still expect normal customers to be comfortable. Most of the small dining area was occupied by a large group just filling up space and encouraging their many children to have the run of the place. BAD FOR BUSINESS. \nThis was not a good experience and I would not return. Probably a moot point because I don't see this place surviving unless some sweeping changes are made.", "My husband and I loved this pizza, it was extra crispy on the bottom, and the flavor of the sauce and mozzarella cheese was fabulous. We liked it better than many of the other pizza places we have eaten at. I think the wait staff could be a bit more congenial, we didn't know we had to order at the counter since we had never been there and they came over with menus and said you have to order over at the counter, like we were supposed to know that. Apparently, lots of people like the sushi /pizza combo because everyone around us was ordering pizza and sushi! We would go back again just to have pizza again, even though it is almost an hour away from us!", "Dishonest and unnecessarily rude owner/staff has no qualms about trying scam customers.\n\nPurchased a Living Social deal for what Lulu's advertised as, \"medium pizza, large Valley Green salad, and breadsticks (a $32 value).\" \n\nWhen we tried to redeem our voucher by ordering \"medium pizza, large Valley Green salad, and breadsticks\", we were told that the deal was supposed to be for a 1 topping pizza only and we had to pay extra money for anything else. The Lulu's manager tried to (erroneously) claim that it was Living Social's fault for not stating that the deal was only good for a one topping pizza...\n\nThis is complete BS.\n\nFirst, according to Lulu's menu, the total value of our order was exactly $29.89, clearly less than Lulu's stated \"$32 value\" of the Living Social deal they sold. When I tried to explain this to the manager, she was not remotely concerned, and very rudely exclaimed, \"it's either my job or your coupon!\" because, as she explained--the owner told her not to honor the Living Social deal as it was sold.\n\nSecond, I'm pretty sure there had to be a signed agreement between Living Social and Lulu's pizza. So, any discrepancies between the advertised deal and what Lulu's arbitrarily chooses to honor is between Lulu's and Living Social. To try to unscrupulously pass this on to a customer is dishonest and just plain stupid, bad business. Again, our order's total was less than the \"$32 value\", so this issue is irrelevant anyway.\n\nIt was bad enough that they chose to run a scam, but the completely unnecessary attitude and rudeness from the manager was pretty shocking.\n\nNot really sure how a business owner could possibly rationalize trying to scam/screw over customers or expect to stay in business with this kind of conduct." ]

[ "Super delicious, \"non-traditional\" Thai (which can get derailed occasionally - spiced eggplant with mozzarella?) that manages to turn out innovative dishes featuring the best of Thai cuisine (ingredients and flavors) in a casual, intimate and trendy-ish (but not too) environment. Must-have dishes include pumpkin curry, spinach with peanut sauce, smoked tofu salad with mango, and the mango with sticky rice for dessert. Decent selection of wines by the glass. Very reasonable prices.", "This was the place that made me start really liking food. This was the place that also makes all other thai places stand no chance of getting 5 stars. The owner, Wes, is a really nice guy, makes a lot of the decorations himself, has some pink floyd tattoos and likes his customers. Yes, you, he likes you. The rose potatoes are cooked to a perfect, buttery consistency--The curries are thick and filled with a cornucopia of delicious, seasonal, and cooked just right veggies. The masaman curry is perfect. I used to get teased for ordering it over and over again, but it was just that good. I had tried every vegetarian option on the menu and most were on the excellent side, but the masaman was just exactly what I loved. I'd say 3 out of 10 of my top meals ever were here--maybe more. After about 4 years of living in Santa Barbara, I had easily gone here over 100 times and was not ever disappointed--even on their worst day, they were still the best thai food in town.", "The Panang salmon was phenomenal. The flavor was absolutely perfect! The papaya salad was, for the first time with such a salad, something of which I could enjoy the complexities of the flavoring without setting my mouth ablaze in mild discomfort. Not that I mind such things: it was just nice to feel balanced with the spice, the fresh lime juice, the peanuts, the tomatoes, etc. The hot tea was a perfect compliment for a chilly night.\n\nAnd I met my soulmate* at the next table over. Didn't even order him: he just appeared! Appropriately random for February 29th. \n\nI went to SB from LA on a whim: my friend was doing a beer promotion at a couple bars, and had a free hotel room for the night. She invited me along, and I figured \"what the hell.\" Little did I know (that one's for you, Stranger Than Fiction fans!), I would end up being the one to find a hot guy to make out with, which is what she had wanted to do. I figured I'd just kinda enjoy some alone time and just relax. I must admit I enjoyed my non-alone time, and though I felt a little guilty, hey, it's not like I was looking: it just happened. She was very gracious about it, though. :}\n\nSo I'd spotted the other Thai place down the street when we first got to town, and that's where we headed after parking. Even though I was looking, we blew by it. But hey there was another one, so OK. They had no tables for me (she was getting hers to go) so I just hung out till she got her order, and planned to proceed to the other place. Well, I'm glad I didn't have to leave: a table opened up. I was very happy with my meal, and was given a happy excuse to exchange looks, comments, and smiles with a lovely gentleman when I had trouble getting the attention of the lady serving me (she was a good server, just a little hard of hearing) for a hot water refill. This gentleman happened to be dining alone also, at the table next to mine, facing me, wondering like I was, \"What is this sexy person doing here alone?\" He had been seated a good while after I had, so I was finished before he was, and offered him company. We ended up hitting it off. I mean, sparks flying everywhere, like damn I finally remember what this feeling is, and as much as I would have liked to feel it, and admittedly force it, for many years, it just happened right before my very eyes and heart. Bam!\n\nI don't know what Zen Yai puts in their food, but it tastes incredible, and seems to have some magical qualities as well!\n\n~~~~~~\n*UPDATE: definitely not my soulmate. But a fantastic story nonetheless, so I'll keep it up. Hope is good, right?", "My friend invited me here, saying she had the best lamb curry here ever. I bought a red chicken curry, which was spicy and sweet. It was really good.\n\nThey have really great service. The waitress was super nice. When restaurant was closing, my friend had been taking her precious time, but they did not hurry us at all. Instead they gave us more rice and water. I will definitely go again. \n\nOh and it's really cute how they make rice pyramids!", "Good, solid Thai food on touristy State Street.\n\nThe restaurant is a bit small, so it can feel cramped when its full.\n\nThe interior is funky, to be charitable. Thai-style furniture, mobiles made from different colored lenses, a large painting of John Lennon hanging in the back wall...eclectic kitsch would be one way of describing it. The owner is definitely trying hard to create a mood, what with the smooth electronica music playing in the background and the reddish lighting - for a moment, I felt I was back in a certain area in Amsterdam...\n\nThank goodness the food is much, much better than the interior!\n\nPad Thai- Competent rendition of a Thai restaurant menu stalwart.\nDuck Curry- Sweetness of pumpkin worked well with the curry and Chinese-style barbecued duck.\nPapaya Salad- Good, crunchy shredded green papaya with sweet tart fish-sauced based dressing.\nShiu Mai - Shiu mai in a Thai restaurant? WTF? We sampled the pork/shrimp version anyway. It was surprisingly good!\nTom Yum Gai - Good, spicy. Would be perfect on a cold night.\n\nPricing is what is to be expected of SB. Not exactly cheap.

A coworker and I passed a bus bench on 21st street that displayed a gorgeous looking sandwich, so we decided to find out where this \"Capriotti's\" was and get that sandwich for lunch. I ordered the medium version of that very bench-featured sandwich, the Bobbie, \"homemade\" turkey, pulled and placed below cranberries and stuffing. My coworker got the small Cole Turkey, the same \"homemade\" turkey (I don't know that I've ever heard of homemade poultry), with Russian dressing, Mayo and slaw. He was asked if he wanted any dressing or mayo because \"that sandwich comes dry.\" Despite the listed non-dry ingredients. We waited quietly at a table for our name to be called. \n\nEleven people came in after us and one-by-one, all eleven were given their sandwiches as we watched with hungry eyes.

My first impression before I took a bite was expensive and you don't get a ton of meat. But then I took a bite. I don't know how they do it, but everything was perfectly proportioned. The perfect combination of sweet and savory. Even the bread felt like it was designed to accommodate the sandwich ingredients. Or maybe the other way around.
