Restaurent name is: Perrytowne Draft House
review: Although we come by this place often we never stopped in until we saw a pork smoker outside & thought we would investigate. Went inside & was warmly welcomed ask if they had pulled pork sandwiches & of course they did ordered pulled pork & homemade chips & was promptly served!! What a great surprise the pulled pork was tender in a sauce of a subtle taste of cinnamon & a smokey flavor top with a side order of house made crispy potato chips to die for!! We were well satisfied & cannot wait to come back & try the fish & chips & of course Crab cakes! I came out here with about 10 other people in between viewings at the funeral home just down the way. They were immediately able to seat us, and were very appreciative that we helped them move the tables and chairs.\nThe waitress was super nice, and had some good recommendations on the menu items. We ended up getting wings and fries, which were alright. Others in our party got salads and sandwiches - and their sandwiches are MASSIVE. You definitely get a very nice portion for the low price they have. Some of us were wishing we knew their sandwiches were that big - we would have shared them! If you get one of their sandwiches just for you, plan on taking at least half of it home.\nThey have an area away from everyone else where you can go to smoke, but those in the smoking area are definitely apart from the rest, and it was a little difficult to get their attention when food came.\nI would definitely love to return - just under happier circumstances! Ugh....waitress tried desperately but it was bad! Food below average, wait was very long with only 3 tables when we arrived.\nThey need a lot of help Felt bad for the server. She was running her ass off. Just amazed that other employees ran orders out but didn't make eye contact, offer to refill drinks , wipe off tables \nYeah, I don't think we'll be back This bar/restaurant is located in a very cute, small town Main Street USA setting. \n\nThis is my fifth visit. Here are my thoughts:\n\nThey have a reasonably-priced wing night, but the wings are just OK at best.\n\nThe customers are generally 20-something's, loud but having a great time. It's a bar, right? That's why they come out.\n\nOne side of the bar has larger televisions than the other. Guess which side is impossible to secure a seat?\n\nThe beer has ALWAYS - WITHOUT EXCEPTION - been sour, flat, not good. And it is not cheap - a pint of Labatt will cost you $5. The beer is never real cold, and I suspect the lines haven't been cleaned since Bush - H.W, not Dubya - occupied the White House.\n\nThis place needs to attend to details to make for a better worthwhile experience.

review: I remember coming here a couple times, and I feel like all you do is wait. The restaurant is quite big, but they should have the staff to accommodate a large amount of people. Ordering with iPads is always fun. The food is pretty average, nothing really special that you couldn't find anywhere else.\nThe plus side is it's close to the theatres, but give ample time in case your trying to catch a flick. Came here for the first time and we will definitely be coming back the service was great especially for how busy the restaurant was the food came very quickly and was very tasty and flavourful and the price was fair for the amount of food which we ate\n\nI would recommend making a reservation ahead of time to avoid a long wait. We did and I saw many people waiting for a table so I was happy that we booked Ahead of time. \n\nThe date of our visit was Saturday, January 21, 2017 Me and my family didn't even get to eat here! The blonde hostess wasn't even friendly, she came off rude! I'm not sure how she even managed to get that job she didn't even look like she wanted to be there. We ended walking out and finding another place! Great food and service. They have a variety of fish and meat to choose from along with sushi. My favourite is the salmon and beef! I much prefer to dine here than other AYCE places in Toronto. Good ambience for families and groups. Good menu and options to find. Fresh sashimi and short list of desserts.

Restaurent name is: Viet-Thai Noodle House
review: Really great food! Everything I have had has been some of the best. Staff can be kind of rude but it's worth dealing with for the food. If they were nicer it would be a 5 for sure! I was so excited to satisfy my craving for dinner tonight... ordered to-go RIGHT at 5pm when they opened up. I hoped that meant my food would be fresher, before the dinner rush started. WRONG. They gave me Dried out chicken satay and shrimp sticks. I'm about 75% sure they were day old and reheated. The tofu was fresh and the egg roll was fresh, but the peanut sauce was watery and had an off flavor. Lastly, my husband's red curry was oily and watered down. I've never seen such a thin curry that didn't even coat the spoon or sides of the container. Shameful. Came here for dinner Friday night. When we arrived (7ish), there were plenty of tables. Tables started filling up shortly after though. The space is pretty huge; there are plenty of tables for large groups.\n\nWe ordered a papaya salad to start. The salad was a bit different from what we are used to. It had a wedge of cabbage on the side which just seemed a bit of a waste and no peanuts which we really missed. Ive even had the salad with cashews before. Any nut would have been nice. The salad came with small fried shrimp on top. That is also not something I was used to but they were surprisingly good. \n\nWe ordered the red curry and the yellow curry. They curries tasted more like Indian curries than Thai curries to me but were pretty good. The portions were also very large. So, you will not leave hungry but you will probably leave with leftovers. Recommendation: When you order Thai spicy, it is really spicy so be prepared to handle it. I handle spicy pretty we but after 2 highly spicy dishes in a row, my taste buds started to go numb. That was my fault though... Need to know your limits. \n\nWould return for the curry and would. Be interested in trying the pho/other Vietnamese dishes. \n\nService was decent. Prices were as would be expected in Charlotte. Check out the pic! Amazing food. Very friendly people. Great ambience. It's behind the Burlington coat factory opposite Lowes. Strongly recommended. .. It smells delicious as you enter the place. Which reminds me, the front door is a bit confusing. I was seated immediately. The nice young man took my drink order and promptly brought it to me. I ordered shrimp vermicelli salad. I was brought, what I couldn\'t tell was chicken or pork. The meat was very dry and I only got two small dry shrimp. Oh well. I\'m easy I will eat it. It tasted great the fish sauce served with it as tasty also. I asked for the "chili tray" you know that thing you get in every other Vietnamese or Thai restaurant. She nodded and came back with chili oil. I used it, but my dining companion asked if they didn\'t have any more a a selection of chilis? She returned with a cup of dry chilis and a cup of chili paste and took the chili o away walked behind our table and slammed the dishes into the tray. Wow. It\'s just chili sauce folks. It\'s s usual condiment. We didn\'t ask for anything unusual in my opinion. Not sue if I would eat here again. The food was tasty but not outstanding.

Restaurent name is: Taqueria El Tizon Grill 2
review: The al pastor is on lo mejor del Las Vegas status. The mango agua fresca is on lo mejor del mundo status. Had the al pastor burrito con todo, on-point. The carrots and salsa bar was well stocked with fresh veggies, most importantly all clean. Great spot! Amazing food, good sized portions and great prices. I've been going here for over a year and have never been disappointed with my order. Not the cleanest place but the food is legit. Carne asada is really good, super thin and has a great smokey flavor. Try the Aguas frescas make sure they're not the ones from the machines! Refried beans are good and the salsa are good too. Feels like a home cooked meal. The carne asada had good flavor, the salsa was fresh. We didn't stay to eat, it was super dirty inside. Food was good, though I was worried I'd get food poisoning from the dirty restaurant- I didn't... So yeah, if they cleaned it up they'd get more stars. Al Pastor carved off the spit. Got it a little too early and it wasnt very crispy yet but I will be back to try that again when Im in town.\nChorizo and egg burrito was good.\nCarne Asada tacos really good...They serve whole beans on top, which reminds me of the way my friend's dad used to make them in the middle of the desert, cooking over a campfire.

Restaurent name is: Crystal On Penn
review: This place is such a great hidden gem! Authentic Mediterranean options but also some traditional American dishes as well. The Hummus and Falafel are delicious, a must have starter. Can't go wrong with the Lamb or Chicken Kebab wraps either. Missy the bartender was so friendly and great to chat to. Mona, the chef, also came out to talk to us about some of the dishes which was so nice! I highly recommend this place This place was nice, it was the only place we could get food without a wait. The food was average, and the beers were cold. The service was just okay...it is nice and I would recommend it....a little far from the action of downtown though!. Using the rest of that gift certificate today, I got two appetizers for an early dinner: The Portabella and Crab and The Mediterranean Quesadilla, both of which were rather palatable. \n\nMy ladyfriend got a salad and a "BLT Pita" (it\'s not on their online menu from what I could see). They use three cheeses with it. After she let me taste a small corner, I found that it was something I could definitely eat with tomato soup on a chilly afternoon. \n\nGood food, nice place, spend some $ there. Cool little beer bar. Lots of options. Friendly service. They had a bunch of high value cheap food options but I didn't get to try this time. Everything was terrible. Myself and co-workers used to come here every few weeks for good food and service - but after today\'s visit we will not be returning. Being a place that was featured on the TV show "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" one would think the new ownership of Crystal would want to uphold that reputation that allowed the place to make the show. The thing is they have not.\n\nI have a background of working in restaurants and the service industry realm, so I would think I have a pretty open mind in regards to the bumps in the road associated with ownership transition. However, when we receive terrible service, terrible food and terrible customer service after complaints I see that this new ownership really needs to fix many things. \n\nJust a quick list of complaints:\n\n- If a server is posed a question he or she does not know the answer to regarding the menu, they should not answer the customer "I don\'t know" and walk away never to return with an acceptable answer.\n\n- If new owners come in and hope to maintain what the previous owners had built with their service and food, they must not skimp on the previous precedents set. Such as: much smaller portions, cold food, dirty food & lower quality food products.\n\n- If the owners receive complaints at the end of the meal, they need to throw on that fake smile and inflect care for the customer in their tone of voice as they work through dealing with the problems specified by the complaining customer. \n\nCrystal On Penn failed with all of these things during our lunch today and lost our future support of what used to be a good lunch spot. Good luck to the owners and new staff - they need it.

Restaurent name is: Fuji Japanese Restaurant
review: Had a great time Fugis!!! The staff was great, very friendly and the food was amazing, I would recommend this place to anybody! If you have a baby this place is for you! Even though they didnt have alot of variety of sushi, their habachi was the best! Yum Yum!!!! Overall: I did not have a good experience with sushi take out. I probably won' be back.\n\nService: 2 stars. I Googled their menu and reviewed it online. It showed a lot of great sushi choices. When I called for take-out, the lady told me that was not the correct menu and they don't know how to remove it from the site. Since I was obviously not the first person to make that mistake, they should find a way to fix the online menu.\n\nFood: 2 stars. Sushi was average. The selection was weak.\n\nPrice: 2 stars. I requested extra spicy sauce on the side, for my 2 rolls. Most sushi places give this away for free, or charge $0.50 or $1.00. They told me it would be $2.50, which I told them was fairly high. When I arrived, I found out it was $2.50 per roll ($5.00 total) for a little extra spicy sauce on top of the 2 rolls. I said that was crazy, and they reduced it to $3.00, which I reluctantly paid.\n\nInterior Appearance: 2 stars. It has about 10 large hibachi tables. It's dark and open with some blue lights around the side. I have been here twice for lunch (sushi both times). Each time the food was above average, and the staff is very friendly. I will eat here again when I'm in Macedonia. As someone who spent 5 years living in Japan this restaurant offends me to the core. I don\'t know where to even begin with this train wreck of a restaurant. I guess I\'ll start by saying that this restaurant does not serve Japanese food. I know that when most people think of Japanese food they think of Sushi, Hibachi and instant ramen noodles. Well they definitely have Sushi in Japan but it is nothing like what you find in America, it is infinitely better and they most definitely invented instant ramen noodles(which can\'t shine a light on how awesome real ramen is). Hibachi restaurants are an unholy American creation and this place falls into that category and it is a bottom barrel Hibachi restaurant at best. Now on to the meal. I ordered chicken yakisoba; A delicious yet humble dish in Japan, yet the disgusting mess that I was prepared tonight was not yakisoba. As part of my order I was brought a salad made up of iceberg lettuce that was drowned in thousand island dressing. I would estimate that there was at least a half a cup of dressing on this poor little salad, next was a bowl of soup which was in reality just a bowl of beef broth with a few onions and mushrooms tossed in which was completely disgusting. Next in the course was "Hibachi" stir fried vegetables which consisted of onions, mushrooms and zucchini drowned in vegetable oil and copious amounts of butter, stir fried. Another complete failure and the last course was the yakisoba, which again consisted of cabbage and other unidentifiable vegetables drowned in oil, butter, soy sauce and some kind of butter with soba noodles tossed on top. This entire meal was utterly devoid of flavor other than that of the oil that everything was swimming in. I almost forgot to mention that they used the same knife for the fish, chicken, shrimp and vegetables on the grill. I am not a chef nor a professional cook but I know that you should never ever do this to avoid cross contamination especially with raw chicken and seafood. Please stay away from this restaurant and do yourself a favor by finding an authentic Japanese restaurant. This was quite possibly one of the worst meals I have ever had in my life. Not great. No showmanship, fire, spatula flipping, etc. Lunch vegetables are different than dinner --pureed carrots and onions. Sesame chicken is only grilled chicken with seeds on top....No taste!

Restaurent name is: Memories
review: This a very good restaurant and convenient the service is excellent and food is good the menu is vast smothered chicken is excellent. The bowls are good also the atmosphere is friendly. Love this place Wings are disgusting. I ordered the cajun dry rub and they were a orange color and tasted like seasoned salt. It was good enough! Waitstaff was super friendly and happy to have us. Meat lovers pizza was credible, BLT club had a half pound bacon and the wings for an appetizer were tasty... I'll get right to the point. You have NEVER, repeat Never, had carrot cake until you had it here! It must have weighed a pound and a half! Stopped in on our way from Colorado to NY. It was late, we were tired and hungry. Sat at the bar and ordered a few beers. Had wings, French onion soup and a veggie pizza. Really great bar food and prices if that's what your into. I would recommend this place to anyone passing through looking for a bite to eat.

Restaurent name is: Grand China Fine Chinese Cuisine
review: Not the best Chinese food in town but definitely not the worst. I enjoy their lunch specials and the service has always been pleasant and efficient. If you go with a large party be prepared to wait awhile though. Just wasted $40 bucks on garbage.\nDuck had not been plucked, hairy and gross\nMoo-shu was burned and they forgot the pancakes\nThe sizzling three delight was a big pile of mush!\nI called them and they brought fresh duck and the pancakes, but we threw the whole lot away! I have been a regular until last evening. I was treated with disrespect by the waitress and I shall never enter their door again...the food has always been hit and miss; but, generally ok, ...Never again, I don't care if the food was ok, I shall never walk in the door again. Ive been going to Grand China for about 4 or 5 years now. Not once have I had a bad experience. When I do eat inside the restaurant, Ive always had quick friendly service. Their lunch specials are anywhere from $5-$7. They include soup, egg roll, wonton and whichever entree you pick with fried rice. Definitely worth it. The dinner specials are about $2-$3 more than the lunch specials but they also come with some extras. No matter what you get, you will usually get more than what you pay for, especially if you stick with the lunch and dinner specials. The service is very consistent between the 3 restaurants I visit. I am very picky about my asian food, being asian myself. But this place is actually one of best chinese food restaurant in las vegas. Hubby ad i always go here when we are craving chinese. The portions are good for the prices they charge. Since we always do take out, customer service isn't bad. Of course whenever we do place take out they tell us it'll only be 15 minutes but they are pretty busy so it's usually an additional 10 minutes from what they actually tell you. \n\nI love won ton soup, but im quite picky about it however i will say that hands down this place seems to be the only place that makes really delicious wonton soup. \n\nGreat for the wallet and the tummy!

Restaurent name is: Bang Bang Burgers South End
review: This place is in a great location. Location is close to a lot of local breweries and creative offices. I had the bang bang burger with some fries. Wow amazing. The sauce they served with the burger and fries was great. The environment had a brewery style feel with brick wall and wood flooring/ table tops. I'm pretty sad I didn't get to try the sliders before they changed out the menu. I prefer sliders to large burgers. I love Bang Bang though, so I was happy to try the new location. The burger was fantastic. I got bacon jam on top and it was really delicious. I also love the sweet potato fries and sweet sauce! \n\nThe staff was friendly and quick. We were one of the first customers in that day and they were so efficient and helpful. It got busy pretty quickly! \n\nI love the new location, it's so bright and clean. I think it's my favorite compared to the two. I will most definitely be coming back soon. So good. I got the bleu bacon jam burger. Savory, sweet, great combination. We will definitely be coming back! Don't waste your time or money. Way overpriced cheap almost preformed patty. Fries were only saving grace. Go to Pinky's, Comet, Shake Shack or even Hardee's. You'll be glad you did. This is a cute place. Fun environment and good selection of burgers! \n\nI ordered the single Bang Bang burger with sweet potato fries. I really enjoyed the bang sauce on my burger. It was cooked correctly and very tasty. The sweet potato fries were a win too! They come with this very yummy dipping sauce!\n\nService was spot on as well! Overall, an excellent experience! \n\nIf you're on the hunt for a great burger - this is your spot.

Restaurent name is: The Carousel Caf\xc3\xa9
review: Some key points for I don't feel this place warrants a long review.\n\n- Over priced\n- Sat us outside without asking preference.\n- Extremely outdated. Pepto-pink walls.\n- Freezer fresh taste to the fries.\n- Washrooms were disgusting.\n\nDidn't want to waste money on low quality food. Got yam fries and water. About right quality for the only thing open during non-peak months. I do not recommend this place. First off, over priced. I ordered a Jerk chicken (pictures attached). When I got my chicken with rice and peas it was so watery and disgusting. Over salted chicken. The chicken tasted so cheap! And second the rice was so mushy it didn't taste like rice! \n\nI then told the waiter that it wasn't good and she agreed with me. When I ordered something else, I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap and fries, I tasted it and it tasted like cheap tortilla (more like wonder brand) wasn't good at all... over priced for cheap quality food! DISGUSTING!! \n\n\nOn the other hand, husband ordered a poutine and it was okay.\n\nDon't pay your money here for overpriced food and cheap quality..\n\nThe decor is cute at first but then you look at the details and nothing matches. Like the colour of the ceiling, wall, and floors do not match. But that is the least thing I worry about, I just wanted some decent food and I got completely the opposite. Every time you deal with a business or people in service industry who have 100% job security , dont expect a good service. , This place is a good example, I do not know who oversee their operation and business practice but for all reason, they are the worst for serving their customers.\njust past week , in a weekday , my wife and I stopped at the place which is located in one of gorgeous spot on the island, waited 15 minutes to be seated - while there were no line- and took another 20 minuted to place an order and waited and waited for the food to come. Meanwhile you see waiters and waitresses walking around and a lady ( sounds like she was a manager) shouting at them but no actual food delivery happens. \nfinally we gave up and left the place , wasting one hour a very nice sunny day ther. \nAvoid this place, bring your food to the park , and wait may be some one care to change this place. Undercooked burger\n\nService was ok\n\nPrices were a $$$ not a $$ as yelp suggests..\n\nI'd go here(location/service) for a beer again not to dine. This place is so bad that if it was in the city it would have been gone a long time ago.\nService is slow. Took over five minutes to get anyone to come to the table. Ordered a soup (something that they don't have to cook), they took the order and then in 30 ... THIRTY! minutes they came back saying they don't have the soup. Thanks so much.

Restaurent name is: Aladdin Mediterranean Deli & Cafe
review: I'm so happy I discovered Aladdin! The food was great, and the people who helped me (I assume they're the owners) were extremely friendly. What more can you ask for? Might be my new favorite place to go when I'm feeling lazy, but want something quick and delicious to eat. Found this place via Groupon and very happy with the $30 for $15 deal I purchased. This is right down the street from my house, almost right next to Twin Peaks, directly next to the Skeptical Chemist but never knew it was there. Very happy I tried it and will definitely visit on a regular basis now. Prices are great and the gyro meat was delicious. The falafel was outstanding too.\n\nVery clean inside with only a few tables inside but also a few tables outside. The staff/ owners were extremely friendly and nice, which made for a great first impression. I will be going back here a lot! Nice little Mediterranean spot in the neighborhood. Had the Gyros and fries both were excellent. Like the thin cut McDonald's style fries. Made fresh to order with fresh ingredients. My family and I ate here yesterday and were very pleased! It's a small restaurant between Grabba Green and Rubios. There is a lot of foot traffic in the area so sitting on the patio gave us some good people watching. I ordered the gyro and my husband ordered Combo #1 with beef and chicken. It was delicious!!! The meat in my gyro was sooooo tender and flavorful. The sauce went very well with everything and the pita was nice and soft. I couldn't have asked for more. My husbands combo was also very delicious. All the meat was seasoned perfectly and the rice would be great all on its own. I am so pleased with this place I plan to go back today. I hope it stays around for a long time and that people in the area help support this small business. I ordered from this restuarant via Eat24. I would never order from here again. Delivery time was originally 60 mins. The delivery driver actually showed up at my door 120 minutes later. I put specific instructions on my order. Apt # and Building #. They also had my phone number. Still took that long. Asked for no onions on anything, so they did get that correct. The "greek" salad had no greek olives on it - had the canned sliced black olives on it. No dressing on it or on the side. The Gyro had literally no meat in it at all. I asked and paid for 2 pita on the side. I received 2 HALVES of 1 pita. It wasnt even the same pita that the gyro goes it. It was literally as hard as a rock. The food came freezing and and gross. Would never order from them again.

Restaurent name is: Pho Number One
review: Soooo good. Always love any of Poh. This time tried Shrimp stir fry. Best Yet. Fried rice is Excellent. Really fast service. Hot and lots of portions. Number One Place The best soup my husband and I have ever tasted. When they closed for a month and half, we tried every single Vietnamese soup restaurants in the valley and we just couldn't find the perfect taste at all. We go there so many that they already know what we want all the time haha! Very skimpy and not very tasty.. I got three tiny shrimp on the the shrimp plate, both of our dishes tasted awful and we had to return it. This is a place that is a family favorite but just so happens to be my first time. From the outside it just doesn't look appealing at all. Small place in a big shopping center but when we walked in I was very surprised. Spacious. Loved the dark wooded furniture with the stone walls. Very modern looking. \n\nWe started out with the Shrimp & Pork spring rolls. Two to an order. Not cut in half but had to cut ourselves. Very fresh. Really good. The Shrimp with the pork were so good and then the peanut dipping sauce. Outstanding. We also had the fried ground pork dumplings. I could tell these were fresh. Little hot in temperature. Man we're these good. Nice bite sized dumplings. Love the sweet & sour dipping sauce. Just brought these dumping over the top. \n\nI ordered the steamed rice with grilled pork. The pork was sliced thin and marinated. Really really good. Came with a nice portion of white rice and a few slices cucumber and tomatoes. Really good dish and really enjoyed it. \n\nPretty funny but the rest of my family ordered the combination vermicelli bowl which had grilled pork, beef, shrimp, and an egg roll. This was a pretty big bowl. Need a pretty big appetite for this. I was able to get a few bites from my wife's bowl and it was really good. Loved the uncooked bean sprouts and fresh mint leaves. Everything was very fresh and the Shrimp was grilled perfectly. Not too dry but really good. \n\nI'm thinking that this is a family owned business and love supporting mom & pop shops. \n\nThe service was pretty good. They took our order but that's about it. Not too friendly but all business. I have no problem with that. Food quality is important. They also brought our water cups out really quickly and made sure our water cups were always filled. So pretty good service.\n\nI love Vietnamese food. Love the freshness of their food. The ambiance is not bad but the food is outstanding. No wonder this is a favorite of my family. Will mostly likely be back. Enjoy. Food is great, the portion of Pho is big enough for me to finish, but service is nowhere near friendly. No chatting, no "hey how are you," no "how is the food," and no "thank you." Can you work on this Pho Number One?

Restaurent name is: Sunrise Restaurant
review: Love, Love, Love the service here! The Fries are my favorite item on the menu. This restaurant is very old but the food is great. I went for lunch ended coming for diner in the same day. I love how they serve the tea :)!! This is the place Dine-In place to eat at. This place is chocked full of locals!! Very busy all the time. The prices are pretty good and the food is tasty but be prepared to wait. There are usually not enough staff for the amount of guests able to fill the restaurant. No matter what ive gotten from the breakfast menu, it's been good. Hit this location for dinner last night - it was clean, staff was nice. Food was good as was price - I had the fried chicken livers - couldn't resist! My new quaint, inexpensive restaurant! Plus, I love to run into people I know when here and the staff always remember me! Great desserts!! Places like this are a dying breed which is a shame because I absolutely love it here. I've been going to Charlotte 2 to 4 times a year for about 6 years to visit one of my best friends and there hasn't been a visit where I haven't gone to Sunrise. I love all the booths and I've never had to wait for a table. Among my favorites are grits, biscuits, baked spaghetti, peach cobbler and real sweet tea! I don't drink coffee but my friends really seem to like that too. The servers are friendly, the food is good, the menu is large, you can eat breakfast ANY TIME and you can't beat the prices!

Restaurent name is: Fajitas A Sizzlin Celebration
review: Best fajitas outside of Mexico! Fantastic service and great prices! I would never come here again, it was my first and last time! My party arrived early but they kept pushing our wait time, even though party's just as large, whom we arrived before, were being seated before us. And as we asked a couple times on a progress report for our seating time, the hostess-chribak-was extremely rude and condencensing! The only decent host was some beach blond make (didn't catch his name), only because he brought our party chips and salsa as we were waiting in the hall way. However, the chips and salsa was garbage. By the time we got seated, an hour later, they only provided 6 menus for a party of 10. So that was exceptionally inconvient of them . Our party order 2 chicken and 2 beef fajitas. Upside food came out pretty quick, downside food wasn't that great, little to no seasoning, chicken was dry, the flour tortillas were not good at all and I love flour tortillas, these were extremely bland! Our waiter-Daniel-was great at attending to our table given the party size, also he was entertaining, not afraid to crack jokes with us- best employee we encountered that day. Another review was on point, the water was the best part! \nAgain I will reiterate, I would never go back. This is an oldie but a goodie!! Homemade tortillas and fresh variety of meats. Definitely would recommend fajitas since that's what they are known for. Our experience was a good one. Recommendation is to order half orders so you don't over order it's a lot of food and you fill up on chips and salsa before your meal arrives so enjoy!\n\nHappy Eats!! Ive driven past this place on the freeway about a million times and has always vowed that one day, i will try this place! \n\nand out of complete randomness.... it became my Saturday night dinner :) \n\nAs we park the car, we could already tell this place was packed! we walked in and there were parties waiting to be seated ... lucky for us... we were seated right away... I'm sure we deemed ugly hungry stares for it to... hey its not our fault their are only two of us.... \n\nright after we were seated our drink orders were taken by a very welcoming young gentleman. :) \nand out chips and salsa were brought out promptly too! \nThe Salsa was amazing... and the chips were fresh ... and hot!! that could have been my meal i was so content.... \n\nthis place has great lighting.... not to bright or too dull... just how i like it. \nin the middle of the place there was a huge area where they cooked all the food... or at least some of it... it looked like fun.... \n\nwe shared the beef Fajitas... they were amazing!! grilled on top of bell peppers and onions... red and white... mm served with rice, beans w/cheese, guacamole and a tray of salsa, sour cream and cheese... it was SO good and they brought out your tortillas in a little bowl with a cover to keep them warm.. but they tasted more like pita bread... either way everything was hot and fresh and out in a very timely fashion.. especially since this place was packed... \n\ni like this place alot... i would love to come back again and maybe sit near the chefs area :) I was thrilled to be able to come to Fajitas for my friend's birthday lunch. This restaurant has been around for what seems like eons and a very fitting venue to celebrate the big 4-0! In fact, this place was a regular haunt of mine for years and I even had my 17th birthday party here (with my friend Kari the now 40 year old!).\n\nWe had a party of 16-Kari's family, her parents, siblings and their families. We were seated at a long table and the first thing I noticed is that the decor is exactly the same as it was since we were in high school. The menu changed a little bit, but the salsa and chips were the same too. We had a nice waitress, the iced tea was great and we ordered cheese crisps to start and as a table ordered beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas along with a couple of sides of guacamole.\n\nThe cheese crisps arrived first and were incredible. Ivy, if you are reading, this is a must have cheese crisp!Better than both Macayo's or Garcia's hands down. Light, crisp and fabulous. In fact I liked the cheese crisps better than the fajitas! The fajitas arrived, the shrimp had good flavor but were small and shriveled looking and obviously overcooked. The steak wasn't as good as I remember it and realized we didn't order the more expensive meat (cadillac) so that could be why. The chicken was perfectly cooked and really good. The tortillas are great-these have been around since before Chevy's hit the Phoenix area and I will admit the guacamole was delicious and quite the surprise. I was thrilled at how good the meal was and even more thrilled to be celebrating with my friend at a place that has so much history within our friendship.\n\nFor those of you who are Fajita's newbies-here is a warning. This is the type of restaurant that the food smell sticks to you inside and out. I knew we were coming here so I had planned on what to wear-even down to the bra I traveled in and knew I would be doing laundry before I packed to come home the next day. Yep, long running joke about Fajita burps, farts, and clothing and they are all true so beware! Years ago, they didn't have a product like Febreeze. Now that they do, makes eating here a lot easier!

review: Petit resto portugais sympathique, parfait pour une date. \n\nLa nourriture est excellente, mes croquettes de morue bien cuite et go\xc3\xbbteuses. En entr\xc3\xa9e le calmar frit se laissait d\xc3\xa9guster.\n\nExcellent service, menu typiquement portugais, d\xc3\xa9co soign\xc3\xa9e. \n\nJe recommande fortement ce resto de cartier si vous avez envie de manger portugais.\n\n\nNice little restaurant with good portugese food perfect for a date.\n\nMy cod nuggets were tasty and well done, the squid as appetizers was tasty.\n\nHighly recommended if you like Portuguese food. Very good Portuguese chicken joint. Aside from the chicken, they have delicious lamb chops, mixed grill plates and grilled calamari. A must try if you are in the area. Since the new ownership, the food is much better. The chicken is tender with a nice crisp skin. It's spiced just right but if you want a little more zing they offer you a really good piri-piri sauce.\n\n The fries are homemade and are good without being too greasy. The grilled sardines and chorizos are good too. And they serve great portuguese buns which have a nice crust and a great chew to the bread. Awesome for dipping in some piri-piri or making a sandwich with your chorizo or chicken. Speaking of sandwiches, they make those too. Although, I never had them they look really tasty.\n\nI usually order for pick up but the restaurant is very inviting and quaint. The owners are friendly when I pick up the food. They also have delivery option.\n\nEnjoy! Portuguese chicken, fries, bread, and salad; plus their amazing spicy piri piri sauce makes a meal for 4 people really easy and filling. For take-out or delivery the price is $33 plus tax (+ tip) which is a steal. You get a whole chicken, cut up and grilled, basted with an oily, slightly spicy concoction, a large salad and fries, plus 4 of the most delicious Portuguese buns (baked daily by a great bakery). The meat was still juicy, and the fries were the slightly soft, dark brown, style that Montrealers seem to love. I didn't think of it at the time, but a little squeeze of lemon over the chicken might even kick it up an additional notch. There was nary a fry or lettuce leaf left when we were done eating, a sign of a quality meal. Great service and food. Not to be missed. Authentic, neighborhood restaurant with an owner that really cares about his clients.

Restaurent name is: Sunset Grill of Deforest
review: I stopped in one day for lunch and another day for dinner. On both occasions, the food was amazing. The burger I had for lunch was probably the best burger I have ever had. It was cooked perfectly and they didn't skimp on any ingredients. You definitely get your money's worth which is exactly what I look for when I eat out. Also, the food came out within 10 minutes of ordering it. Another thing that really impressed me. The night I stopped I had the fish fry and it was again, one of the best I've ever had. You can tell that everything is fresh and that great care is taken with the food. I would for sure recommend this place to anyone. Awful awful awful. Never order food here. Its all from bags of frozen junk. I think we've tried 3 times and it got worse each time. I actually got sick from it the last time. We warn everyone we know not to eat there. waited an hour for baked chicken and lasagna dinners. Chicken was RAW, service was atrocious. Bartender served shots to two very drunken patrons that were next to us. Won't be going back here anytime soon, if ever! \n\nToday, I received my Mastercard bill and lo and behold the staff at the Sunset Grill added an additional charge to my original bill. I guess to cover the gratuity that I didn't leave on 10/6. This is a 1st for me. protested to Mastercard and they have removed the additional expense.\n\nThis place is unbelievable, what a bunch of CROOKS! Last two times I've been here they have had no wings or mystery shots. This is there special for the day. You would think they would have extra wings and alcohol considering they're a bar. Poor management Best sweet potato fries I have had. We stopped in as we were traveling to Chicago and ordered two of the Friday night fish fry specials. The cod and perch were both very tasty. Food was served quickly and hot. The service was excellent. Nice beer selection. But those sweet potato fries were the best, no silly sweet spices, just good amount of salt and pepper--fried to crunchy not burnt and certainly not soggy!

Restaurent name is: Oohmami Pares House and Noodle Bar
review: This place has a good atmosphere with cool music playing, however, the food was just OK. This place is amazing. Not a huge selection of dishes but the ones I've tried are awesome. The starters are traditional Filipino snacks with a unique twist and i loved them all.\n\nI had the Mama Mia and it was sooo good. I never knew the traditional Bulalo dish could taste so hood with noodles! Delish!\n\nThey serve Filipino beer too!\n\nSo if you're a Filipino feeling homesick or may be someone that just wants to try something new, go to Oohmami. You'll like it. My Korean friends did! This place puts out great food. I had the sisig tacos with the Mama Mia - super delicious.\nStaff were nice and courteous. Would recommend! We were just driving around this neighborhood looking for something to eat, saw this as we drive by and decided to check it out. Glad we did, food was great, want really sure what to expect but we finished everything. Had their noodles and pares, both were great. Definitely going to come back again. This place isn't perfect yet but it is really, really good! Some of Oohmami's dishes are craving filled dream inducing... so yeah, this place is good!\nI've only been here twice but I'm sure I'll be back a lot more in the future. Especially if their Instagram continues to be so tempting. ;) The last time I was here I had the siopao sliders, the adobo rice bowl and a sample of the bagoong rice bowl, all of which were very tasty.\n\nStarting with the sliders:\nThey're rather messy to eat but it's worth the mess! That melt in your mouth pork belly in some very nice steamed buns; I'm not sure if they buy or make those buns in house but either way these are spot on! Their sisig tacos I had on my first visit are also super amazing. Have some starters here, you won't regret it.\n\nThe Adobo:\nI haven't had a lot of Filipino food before but this tastes purely of comfort and home and love! It's a bowl filled with chicken, garlic rice, palm vinegar, and a beautiful egg on top. It's hearty, filling, and really, really delicious! Aside from maybe the tacos, this might be my #1 favourite thing I've tried on their menu! Don't miss this!\n\nThe Bagoong:\nA really beautiful bowl with cured pork, salted shrimp rice, mangos and an egg on top. The flavour of this is obviously quite different from the other bowl but don't worry about having mango in a savoury dish, it works perfectly! This has a lighter feel (that's the mango at work) but this will fill you up and then some! Well, that really depends on if you can stop yourself from finishing their generous amounts of deliciousness. The portions at Oohmami aren't outrageously large but both me and my date had to pack up leftovers after being thoroughly stuffed!\n(\xc2\xb0\xc2\xb0)~\n\nThe noodles:\nFor my first visit I had the Oohpapi (pork dumplings, braised beef, poached chicken.) In one line: I prefer the rice bowls. From what I've gathered on Instagram the noodle soup bowls at Oohmami are much loved and while I did enjoy mine, it's a little light on flavour for my taste. Maybe I just need more exposure to Filipino noodle bowls? But for now the rice bowls have my heart and stomach! ;)\n\nAlright now for some less amazing news...\nAs I said in the beginning, this place is not yet perfect and unfortunately my main concern is about the service. My waiter was certainly attentive and friendly enough so it's most likely a lack of experience. Little things like not bringing the check when the table is cleared and desserts are declined, or not knowing the featured items or finding out without having to be prompted, etc. It's not a big enough deal to make my visit even a little bit unpleasant but hopefully next time those technical things will go smoother.\n\nOverall:\nWonderful food! My favourites are the sisig tacos and the Adobo rice bowl. There's not much of an alcohol selection but I'm really there for the food so no complaints. Service could be smoother but the staff is very friendly. The interior is also really beautiful. I can't wait to go back and try more stuff! (Lookin' at you wings and dessert!!) I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! Cheers & enjoy!

Restaurent name is: The Stand
review: Tasty burgers and fries but they ration the ketchup! Killer shakes (salted dulce de leche is my fav), delicious burgers and tacos. Takes a while to get your food but so worth it. After reading a review of this place in the Scottsdale Republic, my wife and I decided to give it a try. It\'s quite a drive for us, but we were up for an adventure, and the place is in my old "stomping grounds" - the part of the city where I grew up.\n\nThis is a place that follows the philosophy of "do few things, and do them well." On this, our first visit, we tried their burgers, fries, and lemonade, but not their tacos or shakes. \n\nTheir order-taking process is efficient, and the staff was delightfully pleasant and helpful, always with a smile. \n\nThey made my burger "to order" - that is, I was able to specific what condiments I wanted on (or left off) my burger. And they got the order right.\n\nThey do accept credit cards, too.\n\nThe food was DELICIOUS! It was prepared properly, presented simply and neatly, and was hot when delivered. The burger was served with one-half wrapped - so you can hold it on the paper while you eat the uncovered portion. I\'m not a fan of this, but that\'s just me. So I simply unwrapped it completely and at it without the wrapping around it.\n\nThe location is rustic and spartan, but it was clean. There was lots of staff busy keeping the place (tables, chairs, floors) clean.\n\nIt\'s a long way to travel for a burger, but the food is good - if you are ANYWHERE in the neighborhood, be sure to drop by. The Salted Caramel Dulche de Leches shake is life changing. Maybe the best shake I have ever had. It is the basis of this 5 star review. The burgers and fries are also good and the ingredients have a high quality taste. No not pass on the shake, I have been thinking about it ever since I tried it two weeks ago! Great tasting burgers, shakes, fries, tacos, etc... Service was very good as well. A great local joint that we will be happy to frequent. Keep up the great work!!!

Restaurent name is: Estiatorio VOLOS
review: Been here twice and sat at the bar, Great friendly service from greeter to manager.\nI had the lamb sausage once and then the daily fresh fish. Fantastic food with a nice wine selection.\nI can't wait for the next visit Absolutely the best Greek food we have ever had, including the times we've spent in Greece! We had the flaming saganaki which was unbelievably delicious and moreish. The grilled octopus was delicate and perfectly accompanied. And moussaka - oh my, the moussaka was absolutely incredible!\nService was outstanding, wine was fantastic. Winterlicious 2017 Lunch ($23)\n\nWe were a large party (8 people) for the Winterlicious lunch special. We were promptly seated upon arrival in the very back of the restaurant and given abundant amount of bread (they will refill the bread when you finish it). We did have a hard time to get our bills at the very end of the meal (we had to wait for 20 minutes and call the server twice) but other than that, service was great. \n\nI had the octopus salad, the youvetsi chicken and the greek yogurt. The octopus salad was quite good, chopped up octopus on a bed of arugula with some feta and olives. The chicken breast was nice and juicy with a tiny bit of youvetsi sauce on top of it. I would have liked a bit more sauce. The marinate on the chicken was also a bit on the salty side and there were two whole pepper corn in my chicken, making those two bites quite unpleasant. The yogurt was nice and refreshing, a great tartness and creaminess. \n\nThe whole experience felt as a whole bit like a generic "higher end" chain restaurant (e.g. joey) with standard dishes but nothing exciting or new. Volos is one of my favourite restaurants in the city! The service is always spectacular, the saganaki blows my mind, the exochico couldn't be more amazing and the chocolate mousse is mouth watering delicious. To finish this post let me give everyone some advice, go to Volos, I promise you won't be disappointed!! Fantastic food. I enjoyed every bite.\n\nThe appetizer Saganyaki (goat cheese on fire) was to die for.\nThe Scallops quite tasty.\nThe white wine a nice complement. \n\nEnvironment is welcoming, calm and relaxing.\n\nI will be back.

Restaurent name is: Zio Casual Italian
review: "Zio! Zio! Zio!" And the crowd goes wild! \n\nWalk down the steps and into the warm and cozy nook that is Zio. Now inhale! Mmmmm! The first things you take in are the aromas. Someone is cooking something that you will want to eat!! Just play it cool though, and walk don\'t run to your table.\n\nThe Pizza - Cheese: wonderful sauce with intense tomato flavor layered with cheese. Spicy Chicken Sausage Pizza: large and in charge - smoky, spicy sausage and roasted red peppers - great savory combination.\n\nThe Main Courses - Chicken Piccata - simple and delicious - bursting with lemon, capers and butter, served with angel hair pasta. Now close your eyes and imagine if Eggplant Parmesan was an enormous vegetarian Ribeye, the thickest you\'ve ever seen, fileted and stuffed with fresh ricotta and spinach - really an amazing dish. Now cover it with sauce, homemade pasta and mounds of cheese; yeah, it just got better. \n\nThe Cannoli - do what you must - even if it involves loosening your belt or undoing your pants. You must make room. Both the homemade filling and shells will leave you wanting more. Pop! There goes another button...\n\nZio, you can be my uncle anytime! I\'ll bring the napkins and you bring the food! Deal?! Usually no complaints here but tonight we called in an order and was told it would be 20mins. We arrive a little after the 20min mark and it's not ready. Took them over 40 mins to get out food ready. Very disappointed. Excellent homemade Italian food. \n\nFood:\n-Grilled pizza with Italian sausage - crispy, cheesy, nice amount of toppings and fresh ingredients \n-Angel Hair pasta with Bolognese sauce - I loved the fresh pasta! The sauce was primarily meat but also homemade.\n-Cannoli - great flavor and a nice size for 1-2 people depending how hungry you are after dinner\n\nService:\nOur waitress was friendly and attentive. She provided great recommendations.\n\nAmbiance:\nIt felt welcoming and like you were in Italy. You saw big groups of friends and family and people on dates. A lot of people were sharing their food. It's a casual environment. If you don't want to sit inside, they have a patio. Great food in a nice, laid back setting. Staff is very friendly. Rare to find such quality in food at a family friendly restaurant. Very versatile place. Works just as well for a great date night as it does for a good place take the family. Got another best pizza ever tonight!! Perfect crust, sauce, and just the right amount of cheese! Perfect!! The people who work there are great too!!!

Restaurent name is: Long Zu Bbq
review: Super slow and horrible service they completely forgot to enter our order into the system so we waited 45 minutes for food to arrive and nothing showed up until after we asked--no apologies by the way. Beware of the service charge that's added onto the bill automatically and they don't even tell you, my bill wasn't even that much because I had to cancel half my order due to it never showing up at the table. So why do they charge gratuity on such a small bill? Probably because they know they won't get any decent tips from their horrible service. Will. Never. Eat. Here. Again. EVER. Came here for for skewers. This place offers a variety of different skewers and they also have hotpot and etc. \n\nI've tired their lamb skewers and lamb ribs. The lamb skewers were good they were fresh and flavorful. The lamb rib wasn't as good. It had a really strong lamb taste to it and was really fat and oily. It has not much taste. \n\nService was pretty bad. Very inattentive. It's more like a self serve place as all the drinks are self served from the fridge. The only time the waiter provided service was when we ordered and when they brought the food. \n\nOverall, okay place for skewers. 3.5 stars! \nDidn't know there was a BBQ skewer restaurant place in Mississauga - this place is pretty good and it satisfied my skewer cravings! The place is tucked in a corner beside the LA boil in the China Town in Mississauga. \n\nThe skewers were very flavourful - the sauce/spice used to cook all of the skewers is very cumin heavy and they use the spice for everything even the vegetables. I really liked the sauce/spice so I didn't mind. I liked how the skewers weren't the wooden kind - they were stainless steel I believe. Just be really careful when eating and be sure not to poke anyone with the skewers.. the ends can do some damage. I HIGHLY recommend the grilled squid and the beef skewers - they have two spice options for the beef - both are amazing! My friends and I kept ordering these. \n\n*they only accept cash or debit \n*some of the workers don't speak English We had to wait long before seated because no one was paying attention to us. There were many empty spots though. \n\nFood was ok to eat.\nLamb and beef bbq were tender but it wasn't the best taste I had. But still ok to eat. \n\nBbq chives were good. The amount we got for 1 portion was good too.\n\nThe shrimp dumplings with chives inside were very disappointing. Only a small shrimp was inside it. Didn't have much taste either. Loaded with chives inside.\n\nGrill corn was good.\n \nThe fried chicken wings were good. Had a good crisp to it. \n\nThey don't have liquid hot sauce. They will provide you with a powder chilli if you ask for hot sauce. Looks similar to what they put on the chicken wings. \n\nYou take your own drink in the refrigerator. Even if you write it on the paper they won't bring it to you. We didn't know until we saw someone else taking their drinks from the refrigerator themselves spicy chinese food. \ncash or debit only.\nhave draft beer.. option as well. \nif u like cumin and Chinese spicy BBQ, you should try out

Restaurent name is: Lucky Lou's Tavern
review: Small bar/restaurant on park road. I believe It was formally "Fairview Grille." Lots of parking available and good beer prices. It\'s a good place to watch Panthers games. Be aware that it is a Seahawks bar. I enjoy coming here to watch Panthers games because it\'s close to my house and not too crowded. The food I\'ve had has been good but nothing special. I do recommend the Buffalo chips. For five dollars you get a large basket of fresh cooked chips and a side of ranch dressing. Good for snacking during the game. The pimento cheese fritters are tasty. They are best when cut in half and served with the tomato jelly poured on top. Nothing fantastic about the spinach dip. The Carolina reaper wings are very spicy but have a good flavor. I\'m not a fan of the way they prepare the wings. They fry them and then cook them on the grille so you get a charred taste and look. The wait staff and bartenders are very friendly. Overall, it\'s not a bad place to go but it isn\'t anything special either. Great service and best bar food I have had in a long time! Will definitely be a regular stop when I am in Charlotte! Try the spinach dip!! Amazing! Just be YOU at Lucky Lou's! Friendliest staff in the area. This place is the epitome of a friendly neighborhood bar. Great food goes hand and hand with the atmosphere. Plenty to do after you grab some delicious grub. There are pool tables, darts, karaoke, an awesome patio, cornhole and screens to catch your favorite teams! LIVE music is a bonus on those Friday nights when you're looking to forget about the hussle and bussle of of a busy work week. I highly recommend the Buffalo Chips. Otherwise wasn't a huge fan of the food, but in all fairness what I ordered was something our server said was not that good. My new favorite dive bar/local bar! I can't really speak on the food, altho I've had their fried pickle chips and they were amazing! Drinks are plentiful, reasonably priced, and sometimes strong! Beware of Andi's Jack and cokes! ;P The bartenders are friendly and funny (we love us some Andi and Sherri). My favorite night to go is Friday when they have karaoke; great for people watching! And they also have a great patio for just relaxing with friends. Can't wait to try it out for a Panthers game!

Restaurent name is: Harvey's
review: This location has the most confused staff I have ever seen. There are two employees who can never ring in my order (and I'm ordering stuff on the menu, not any crazy secret crap that shouldn't be programmed into the register). They always need to get someone else to ring it in but they never ever go and get help. They stand there and stare blankly at the register until another employee eventually notices they don't know what they are doing. There's a lady who works the grill that I've witness verbally abusing staff members on two occasions. I don't know what her issue is but she seems like a proper b*tch. She does, however, produce an amazing fresh, juicy burger. I keep going back because the food at this location is always fresh and delicious. It's a good lunch option but budget yourself an extra five minutes for staff issues, just in case. Burger was too salty and the fries were burned, yet soggy. This location sucks... didnt even give me napkins when I went in drive though as well as in store, both times, no napkins. Better off getting a box of burgers for same price and making them yourself, otherwise there is a burgerK close by and they are great! Never have I seen a fast food place who takes their time to ensure that their customers are satisfied. The staff is very nice and their food is outstatnding. Parking is good. Their washrooms are clean. Overall 4\n5/5 I have been going to this Harvey's for well over 10 years and I am always impressed with their polite and responsible service. I never have any issues. This location's service is just a tad ahead of the curve above every other Harvs location. You get your typical Harvey's experience here, except they write your name on the receipt and call your name to ask what you want on your burger. I then took a seat, and THANK GOODNESS this location had seats and tables next to an outlet. I've been to other locations ehere they are not. If you want more customers dining in, then it would be a wise choice to have a seat next to an outlet like this location? Anyway, while I was sitting I noticed an elderly couple walk in. The cashier let them sit down first and walked their orders to them! That's above and beyond service. The food was on par with every other Harvs location.

Restaurent name is: Shay's
review: After watching American Splendor, I was intrigued by Shay\'s Diner. \nDon\'t be off-put by the d\xc3\xa9cor. \nSmile as you walk inside and be greeted by a warm team of "so glad you found us" servers.\nSimply act like you\'ve been here before. \nSmile, wave and sit yo ass down.\n\nOnce you find a good parking spot, the second you walk through the "not feeling so safe" doors, you feel SAFE. Seats are lined with local cops, lawyers and clinic doctors. So if some craziness goes down, you are not only covered, you are treated and represented. \n\nThe wait staff is friendly and Got They Sh#t together! \nAs old as this place is..no place is more progressive and loving. Shay\'s embraces the purpose and devine meaning "breaking bread".\n\nThe front and back team work in harmony to deliver exactly what you want....super fast. \n\nI love this place. wish it was closer.\n\nTry the pork chops, half grits/home fries soft scrambled eggs. \n\nSoak in the urban landscape, cuz this experience IS NOT to be found west of the valley view bridge?\nI defy any place on Cleveland\'s west side to make an east side feel more welcomed.\nThe best breakfast ever! Great little "hole in the wall" diner. The people are nice, quick service, large portions of home cooked food. A little rough as far as ambiance, but if good breakfast or lunch is what you need, Shay\'s has it. Come early on Sunday the church people fill this joint up. Good food and prices . I had the 3 eggs scrambled with cheese . toast was kind of stale. Just get there early. Pretty good greasy spoon diner. Generous portions. Nice staff. We are truck drivers and we eat where we can. I review restaurants as to whether they fulfill what they aspire to be. Shay's has a nice, relaxed neighborhood diner feel with absolutely no pretentions. No hipsters, just working folks like us. They keep the hot coffee coming and have big pork chops and good blueberry pancakes. One could do far worse. Their service was great.. I got a gyro sandwich with fries and the food was excellent it was simple and nkt to heavy love a light gyro sometimes and that was perrrfect.

Restaurent name is: Pakwan Indian Bistro
review: Thought to try this place out for the first time so got to-go order of goat masala, chicken seekh kabab and garlic naan.hugely disssapointed, they made goat curry and chicken kababs unexpectedly too salty and naan was burnt/over cooked.I immediately called them up to complain and response for salty goat curry was that "We make it in huge quantity", what does that even mean and how is that an excuse or justification for salty food. Such a waste of money, this place is so not upto expectations at all! The hospitality is amazing - add to it the great quality of food and the late night options makes it an all-time favorite Indian restaurant for me. i would give ZERO stars if I could! SLOW AND UNORGANIZED!! If you\'re going for a quick lunch, reconsider! The food was good, till we were getting ready to leave and out "lunch special" cost 3x what it was supposed to because the person taking orders "doesn\'t speak English well" and put our order in wrong... It was also very warm inside the restaurant. I WOULD NEVER RETURN OR REFER ANYONE HERE! This is one of the best hidden true authentic Indian restaurant in chandler. I was quite surprised with the food they served. It is truly amazing and taste all herbs/spices in each dish. I will have to bring my friends here next time. The garlic na'an is perfect and Marsala is very good!!! This is a decent place for Indian food. We went here in a group of 6/7 people, at a pretty late hour, and ordered a ton of food. Their service was prompt and quite good. However, the quality of food could certainly be a lot better. The naan seemed stale and was not very soft. Their chicken dishes were pretty oily, and could've used better/different ingredients for flavor. A quick and fast place for average quality Indian food.

review: HUGE servings, sweet staff and delicious food. I'm very picky and I loved it! Beautiful music too and adorable decor This place is a typical whole in the wall. You would easily pass it without a second thought if you didn't know what it was. It is not to be missed though because the food is amazing. The best octopus I have ever had and, fresh tortillas with a great bean dip, and the bacon wrapped shrimp was quite a taste of its own. As other reviews have stated this place puts the music on excessively loud. The prices are very low for the quality and quantity of food. Deffinetly a must try if your in the area. Stopped for a quick be to eat as the parking lot was full, and for good reason, the food and service were very good. \n\nWe asked for a suggestion and ended up with the carna asada and chicken mix with flour tortias. The server checked in with us and left us alone otherwise. Food was hot and had just the right spices.\n\nMy favorite part was the chips and salsa. Probably some of the best I ever had. We will be back. The food was good, but the service was very poor. We stood at the door for awhile before even being acknowledged. Drinks sat empty on the edge of our table with no refill being offered since we were ignored by every person working. I had to go up to the front to request our check to leave while others had theirs brought to them & the restaurant was not very full. \n\nMaybe a to-go order is your best bet. This was the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Salsa bland. Carne asada tacos dry and bland. Shrimp cocktail bland. Only good thing was michelada. Won't be coming back.

Restaurent name is: Imperial Wok Chinese Restaurant
review: Had the beef and broccoli crab Rangoon and the house egg rolls. The beef and broccoli was Ok at best. The sauce was not dark or rich in color like it should be. The vegetables were over cooked and the pork cried rice wad not the best. The crab Rangoon had a funny flavor and came out to the table soggy. The place was empty for 7pm on a Friday. Very disappointing. This is a good basic Chinese restaurant that does Cantonese very well ... Not innovative, but tasty at a good price We're new in Twinsburg,OH. Checking-out Chinese restaurants in the area. We ordered carry-out, over-all, food are bland, lack of taste. Menu offerings are good. Great restaurant with high quality food. Egg Rolls are the best ever. Pressed duck is original and very tasty. Perhaps, there is a newer chef at the Imperial Wok. The food does not taste as good anymore. We tried all Chinese restaurants in Solon and we can't be spending money at the Imperial Wok anymore on something that's not worth it.

Restaurent name is: Fix8 Protein Grill
review: This restaurant is horrible!!! I ordered through grub hub and I ordered the mango salmon and strawberry salad. The second i got the bag it smelled like straight garbage!!! The mango salmon not only smelled like rank fish but it had pace picante salsa on top of it to hide the fish smell and the brown inside of it. It also had white slime all on the bottom of it. The strawberry salad had white slime as well and wilting spinach. Avocado on both the salad and salmon was rotten brown and the asparagus was a yellow brown as well. Manager would not refund my money and was a complete jerk! Good luck eating here this place is a complete dump! I\'ve visited this spot twice in the past week... as most other reviews note, the initial impression is somewhat positive--good, clean food. But, ultimately, I have too many frustrations to continue eating here... prices are very high given what you are actually getting even considering convenience; there\'s a card use surcharge; the decor is not only unimpressive, the tables and chairs are beat up and wobbly; they were out of Cholula my first visit and then also were out of Tapatio my second time--all other options either have soy or added sugars (not so healthy); the staff doesn\'t seem conscientious--no "thanks for your business" nor show of concern for being out of something... maybe say "We will order some more of that. Thanks for letting us know!"; the staff also doesn\'t really know what ingredients are in some of the things they serve... I imagine a lot of special diets come into a spot like this given you are meant to be able to get clean eats, but when I asked about a salad dressing I received the response "it comes from a bottle." So there\'s that... We ended up having to go home for hot sauce and salad dressing, so the convenience was lost and the nearly $40 spent on two steak/chicken combos was far from worth it. Fix8 is helping me be a healthier eater!\n\nThanks to Fix8 opening just minutes from me, I am now able to get a great meal when I don't want to cook at home. You chose from a wide variety of proteins, carbs and greens. \n\nI have tasted several of their protein options. My favorite is their Garlic steak. It's tender with such a fulfilling flavor. The 8 oz is almost too much with all of the brown rice they pack into your meal. The mango salmon is good as well as the teriyaki chicken. But nothing compared to the garlic steak. \n\nA side salad comes with your meal. You can opt to pay a few bucks more for various vegetable options. They offer broccoli, asparagus, mushrooms and spinach. \n\nAnother option is their pre-packed meals. You can choose what you'd like in 6 or 9 meal portions. They offer delivery on Tuesday and Saturday. \n\nWith friendly and quick service, I can see this becoming a favorite. Food is way too overpriced for what you get. I get it, healthy food isn't cheap. However, if I go to a place like this and pay $20 for a meal, I expect it to be original, tasty, and fresh. Not a prepacked salad from Albertsons, dried out brown rice, and reheated steak. I want freshly cooked food. Also, if you're charging such high prices for reheated prepacked food, I suggest you don't charge a credit card fee. Your prices already overcompensate for the 30 cents you'll get charged for that transaction. Highly do not recommend. Stopped by couple weeks ago didn't realize they're open on Sundays which is awesome cause I was happy that I can get my post workout fix here. Last weekend I attended a body building competition and some of the competitors mentioned that they get their prep meals here! How cool! So today while I was at HI Coffee, I stopped in to say hello to their staff cause I'm a social butterfly like that, and whoa smells soo good in here.. I missed having garlic steaks! Happy to see Fix8 Fitness rockin it even more now! Love that there's also delivery and open on Sundays. Yay!

Restaurent name is: Lillen's Restaurant
review: This is probably not the place for a romantic first date. It's a little run down, but it had an old time diner feel. I ordered take out, so my priorities were the food and the timing. They have all my favorites in addition to typical pizza place foods - namely Reubens and gyros. I went gyros tonight. They told me 20 minutes, and my order was ready within a minute of 20. That's important to me. The gyros were good. Not authentic Greek restaurant good, but for a pizza place I was more than satisfied. The bread was so good, I can't wait to try their calzones. I tried Pickles one night, which is on the same block. There is no comparison. Lillens definitely will join my rotation of places that give me a few brief moments of pleasure during the stupidity of my chosen field. Hidden. Gem. Stupid cheap. Stupid delicious. The wings are a thrill ride of fried goodness. The pizza is surprisingly delicious. The fried chicken is delectable. Any place that offers both chicken and beef gravy is home to me. The mashed potatoes suck, but that is all. Go here now. ZERO......aggressive delivery people! Invasive and WILL trespass for $!\nThe person who took my delivery phone order CREDIT CARD numbers.........never followed through with my submitted payment. The delivery drivers spent over an HOUR banging on my door! AND windows! And Honking, blaring their car horn!....FOR 45 minutes, at least! Frightening. Until I had to call 911. AWFUL! I\'ve been a loyal (big tipper) customer for over 5 years. $5 buck tip on a $22 order is good?\nFuck that..........Boooooo......\n(They answer the phone "Lillian\'s......it\'s Lillan\'s....) I ordered fried chicken for my work holiday luncheon and it was delicious!!!! It was seasoned perfectly. I will definitely order from there again. I tried the calzone tonight. It was fantastic! Italian sausage with peppers and onions. What I liked most was that it was cooked perfectly. Done the whole way through, but not overdone. Glad I went.

Restaurent name is: Chin's Pagoda Chinese & American Restaurant
review: Gotta say - I wanted this place to be good as it is right across from where I live, but the product was horrible. One dish had scallops in it, and frankly there was a ratio of 5 parts breading to one part miniscule scallop. Everything was fried - the order took a long, long time to prepare. While I waited, I used the restroom - filthy. So I am hunting for a new local Chinese restaurant. Moving and having to rediscover the half-way decent dives is the pits! One thing for sure though - going to Chin's was even worse! I remember going to this place years ago with my parents when I was a kid and it was fantastic back then. It's a shame as it has ally gone into disrepair and is quite filthy inside. If the dining area is this dirty I can only wonder what their kitchen and food prep area looks like.\n\nThe food was not bad, but it is not as good as some of the better places in Lake County like Imperial Dragon.n portions could have been better too. Quite small portions for what you pay for and what other places give you. Never again. Ordered a pint of General Tso's and a quart of beef lo mein, got home and found a quart of beef lo mein and a pint of breaded chicken with no sauce. The bag was leaking very badly (from the lo mein) - in the bottom were two unwrapped and crushed fortune cookies. All of this for the bargin price of $17.00 dollars. Normally, I would have went back and said something, but after opening that bag I could tell the people running the place just don't give a damn. The apperance of the restaurant, the care of how my order was prepared and packaged showed the family that runs Chin's has absolutely no pride in what they do - sad. I should of been tipped off by the fact that there were only two people in the restaurant, the cash register area is truely a sight to behold! This is the best place to get Chinese takeout in Willowick. My husband and I get sweet n sour chicken from here about once every couple of months. The sauce is yummy and my husband loves the pineapples in it. The gentleman behind the counter is very polite and efficient. We've tried other Chinese restaurants in the area but none compare to Chin's! From out of town, and heard some good things about this place and was not disappointed. Ordered the duck which was perfectly cooked. Tender with the right amount of crisp. The sauce with it was great as well. Potstickers are a healthy size and amazing. The gentleman who took our order was a nice guy and helped with directions as well. Oh and my fortune was great too!

Restaurent name is: Del Taco
review: Out of all Del Tacos Ive been to, this one has to be the worst customer service in drive thru. Ordered my food and was told to pull up just before the window? What kind of service is that? Ummm no i think im going to drive to the window like normal people so that i can see my food being made. And then the young girl at the drive thru has the nerve to give off negative vibes along with her attitude, which showed. How do you expect to get respect if you cant give it. Bottom line, if you dont like where you work, go somewhere else. Hopefully management sees this and will do something about the service and their employee. I went when it was kind of late, but the food wasn't good. Our tacos were old and the fries were just OK and I won't be going back. Terrible service this last Tuesday at approx 515pm! I ordered a few items and repeated my order. What i got at tge window was sok wrong i handed the bags back and told tge manager what my order was. She keep trying to give me the samw wrong items and was grossly incompetent. She spoke englisg well enouhh so that was not it. I as told the chicken and beef tacos were both on special...NOPE charged me full price for chux, glad i caught it. The manager would not make it right and honor what the cashier promissed me.\n\nI would take 30 more mins to write up everything that went wrong, so i will juat say that 10 mins at the drive thru window is the last 10 mins i will ever waste at this place.\n\nDel Taco you lost a frequent customer for life! I will never patronize this location again. This is the stupidest del taco ever. They dont let you use more than one coupon even though, coupon clearly says one per person. They forget to give you the drink, also don't know what extra crispy fries are. Once we waited 20 minutes for a taco al corbon. I'm going to write corporate today to complain. Totally unacceptable! I went through the the drive through for my colleagues and I. I'm vegan and ordered something without cheese and sour cream. The lady taking my order repeated my order twice correctly. When I arrived to my work to eat, there was tons of cheese and sour cream. I called the store, as I was upset at not having a lunch. They were very friendly and apologetic about the situation and gave me a credit at their store. Fantastic customer service Del Taco! Kudos to you! One happy customer even though I'm still hungry.

Restaurent name is: RuRu's Tacos + Tequila
review: Not my favorite place. The food was good, but overpriced. The margaritas were good, but overpriced. The service was nothing to rave about. Love this restaurant! Great food & drink list!! Please update your drink menu on here! I had the "Yes Precious" drink & I\'d love to see what\'s in it again!!! How is this place only 3 stars? Last night was definitely a five star experience all the way.\n\nThere's ample parking behind the restaurant, which takes a bit to find but it's there. The patio is easily one of the best in Myers Par with it's tree covered canopy, outdoor bar, firepits and yard lights. This is easily a place you could spend a few hours having drinks and enjoying the weather. \n\nMonday-Wednesday have drink specials so I had some strawberry and mint margarita. It was delicious, just strong enough and only $5!!! What????\n\nThe queso and chips were on point and so were the tacos. Sure, some won't like that the names of the tacos are taken from movie quotes but who cares. The Stage 5 Clinger, Looking Good Louis, I'll Have What She's Having, and the Long Duk Dong were incredible. I recommend getting a bunch and sharing as we did. \n\nBest of all, it wasn't a budget buster. I've been places, paid a lot more and regretted my meal. This is one I definitely plan to frequent this summer, especially out on the patio. Really cute place!! We went for taco Tuesday, they had OK deals. Tacos were solid, not anything super special though. I would recommend! Found this place thanks to a scavenger hunt we were a part of. It did not disappoint. Very cool venue. Outdoor patio is shaded and super nice. DOG FRIENDLY TOO (if they behave). \n\nI got three tacos because they were B2G1 while we were there. Each was was roughly $4.00-$4.25. Here is what I got:\n\nTacos in order left to right...\n\nFat Guy In a Little Coat:\nMarinated Steak, Lettuce, Queso Fresco, Cilantro, Avocado Aioli\n\nGet Off My Lawn:\nJalape\xc3\xb1o pepper stuffed with shrimp and cheese, tempura fried, pickled cabbage, salsa roja \n\nLong Duck Long:\nKorean Style Sweet & Spicy Steak, Red Cabbage, Sesame Seeds, Cilantro, Creme

Restaurent name is: Taqueria El Pirul
review: I gem of a taqueria that makes fresh, authentic, handmade, tortillas. Many different types of tacos such as asada, carnita, lengua, and tripa. You can also get complete plates with beans and rice as sides. There is also menudo if that is one of your favorites. Breakfast items are also available. The building is a little odd but they have an "A" rating so you know the place is clean. English is not problem with the staff. If you like real Mexican food, try this place! Awesome little spot for legit tacos. Definitely go for the homemade tortilla option on the tacos. I had a chorizo taco and the torta milanesa. The torta was huge with plenty of ingredients. Salsas are all delicious. Service was excellent!\n\nOur server spoke great English so if you are a gringo like me then don't be concerned... just go in and grab a seat. Order some tacos and pay at the counter when you leave. Mala experiencia los tacos al pastor no saben a nada el agua de jamaica sabe a agua con saborisante de tienda y los tacos de asada no saben a nada tambi\xc3\xa9n sabe a carne con sal nada m\xc3\xa1s as\xc3\xad que no se los recomiendo mucha grasa en los tacos de asada adem\xc3\xa1s no es mexicano es colombiano as\xc3\xad que no lo recomiendo Great place, actual Mexico Mexican food. Lengua, menudo, no one speaks English my kind of place! I don\'t know why Gastonia has so many "sit and be waited on" LatAm restaurants, and just a few humble tacquerias. I agree with other reviewers, if you\'re looking for a place like this, it\'ll meet your expectations. You can get some genuine items inexpensively and they have a modest menu that goes beyond the usual tacos and burritos.\n\nThe ambiance of being in the back of a long building, with no windows, makes it feel a bit hole-in-the-wall ... but the seats and tables are tidy. If you\'re an anglo the staff will speak to you in English first. As a humble family kitchen, it serves it\'s niche here just fine.

Restaurent name is: Garden Court Buffet
review: This has become a must do for my girlfriend and I when we come to Vegas. Even if we stay on the strip, it is well worth it to catch a Lyft or Uber down to the Main Street Station and take advantage of the best buffet in Vegas for $11.99 (second to bellagio of course ;)) Bobot, our server was amazing!!!\n\nThe choices are vast. This time i had a couple of tacos from the "make your own" bar. The carvery station is always great...this time it was beef brisket and smoked turkey. Typical comfort food choices, asian section, create your own pasta station (amazing!!!), salad bar, and dessert bar. \n\nYou just cant beat the atmosphere, the class, and the quality of food for the price. If you don\'t have your players club card, get it now!!! The crowd at this casino/buffet seems to be more mature...less of the party animal type...which is a nice break from some of the idiots down at the strip.\n\nThe cat is out of the bag! Make this a stop on your next trip and you wont be disappointed!!! The best buffet in downtown however it's the only one I tried. Lol. This buffet has most of the common foods you see at regular buffets. Not as big as the strip buffets nor exotic. But it's cheaper, and if you're in Vegas you must try atleast one buffet in downtown and it should be in one.\n\nI can't remember what i had since my visit was in 2008 My friend and I heard a lot of good things about this buffet, so we thought we would give it a try. Unfortunately, the rudeness of the manager, Michael Tomminelli, as well as their (arbitrary) limits on how much champagne you can drink ruined our experience there.\n\nThis place has a quite large selection of breakfast items, lunch items, and a huge selection of desserts which makes it a reasonably good buffet. The dessert offering is particularly satisfactory, with cheesecakes, chocolate cakes, fruit pies, etc... They even offer no-sugar options which is a nice addition.\n\nYou can get free parking at this place with validation located seconds away and it is right next to the 15 and 515 freeways which makes it easy to get to. \n\nIt is sad that an experience that could have been positive was so ruined by Michael Tomminelli's rudeness and aggressive behavior, and even the F&B manager, Antoine Salloum, would not offer us a full refund. \n\nOverall, my experience with Garden Court Buffet was very negative and I would recommend it. Do not go there if you plan on drinking more than a few champagnes! Feel free to message me for any additional details that you may need! I've read that this is one of the best downtown, but we didn't think so at all. I guess for ten bucks its pretty decent... but almost everything was pretty tasteless... not much spicey or flavor on any of the food. We went once for dinner, and once for brunch ... it was the exact same food both times, lol.\n\nThe pizza was okay.. the 2nd time we came here, they sat us at a table where someone had just puked or had an accident (? they had hazmat gloves on while cleaning the table, not very appetizing... ) so maybe that kinda ruined it for us?\n\nBest part = a very short walk to 777 brewpub.. lol I had dinner here tonight. (5/5/2015) our server/customer service was great. The food on the other hand was horrible. I wasn't able to eat anything. The ribs were so stuck to the bone, the miso soup was salty, the corn and tomatoes were too spicy and the pork dim sum was soggy inside. The best thing I tried was the Kalua pig and probably the salad. The other food did not look appitizing. \n\nOverall: I couldn't eat here again. Dinner was $14.99 per person. (Including young children) We just picked at our food. I couldn't go back even if dinner was a dollar.

Restaurent name is: Veracruz Mexican Restaurant
review: I was hoping by the look of this place that it would be more authentic, but I was disappointed. I got the chicken chili burrito and it was fine but not great and nothing particularly interesting about it. It definitely did not taste authentic and there were no choices about what toppings or salsas to put in it. I ordered a side of guac that was super tiny and it seemed fresh but had no flavor at all to it. My 2 friends ordered a veggie burrito and a fish burrito, respectively but they switched them up and gave them the wrong orders. Unfortunately my vegetarian friend didn\'t realize the mistake until he was several bites into the fish burrito and he was really upset after eating it and felt ill since he hasn\'t eaten meat in over 10 years. Also the burritos are much smaller than what you get at Chipotle or Qdoba, even for their larger "grande" size and the prices are similar. Also the tables were not very comfortable, there wasn\'t much seating, and the temperature inside was pretty cold on a Winter day. Terrible. I had a small burrito which was mostly tortilla. Flavorless cubes of chicken. Flavorless salsa. Just bad. a great favorite. They give student ID Discounts as well. Probably the best burrito in the burgh until we get a real taco truck. Not stupendous comida, but the staff is friendly and they usually have either spanish soap operas or futbol on TV. Good prices and non-corporate chain food tastes better! I first went here about a year ago and had a very unimpressive enchilada - the experience was enough to keep me away until yesterday. Having gotten tired of the tacos at nearby Chipotle, I decided to give Veracruz another chance. I got chicken tacos which were made quickly and came in double corn tortillas with a small bag of delicious tortilla chips. Certainly not the best tacos in town, but passable! I will probably be back for more on a semi regular basis.

Restaurent name is: Filiberto's Mexican Food
review: Looking forward for a quick and good bite, highly recommend this filiberto. I have never liked filibertos but this place is good, clean, and excellent customer service. Seriously disgusted right now guys. I have been eating here for about 2 years and never had a complaint. Right now I don't even know if I dare eat this crap. I'm mad and to sum it up your place is filthy, flys all over, salsa bar is crusty and looks like it has not been cleaned in forever, your trash can is covered in multiple layers of filth, and when I asked for some fresh cucumbers your staff came out and put in new cucumbers then grabbed the old slimy ones and dumped them on top. Oh my God you must be kidding. The place is pretty busy and I'm surprised I'm the only one who seems to even notice. Disgusting! The store in Phoenix by my hospital is clean, well maintained and has decent sense of cleanliness and well prepared food without the complimentary flys to go. if I could give no star I would. So after my last disgusting visit I tried again on Tuesday after work. I really do want this place to be good because I have had good food and service before. Well, what can I say? It definitely was cleaner but still not great.The trash can was cleaner but still stained with red goo down it. Good Lord, buy a decent trash already. I went in for Taco Tuesday which is 99cent tacos. So I order, and my total comes to $5-something. So I ask the girl why its almost $6 for 4 tacos. She points to the sign and yes there are new signs with a price increase. Okay, no problem, whatever. I tell her that for almost $6 I would rather have the carne asada burrito. Nobody was doing anything at that point (cooks) and she just looked at me for a second and said ya. YA?? What is that all about? Whatever at this point. So I get my food and it is by far the worst tacos I have ever had there in over two years. Nothing in them and extra greasy crap dripping all over. Well I guess if there is not too much in them, you basically get a grease soaked shell. So disgusting. I am done with this place and maybe if they get their crap together I will go back. No big loss. OK so I was on my way home from work when I got lost but I was really hangry (Once again) so I had to find a place to get myself some fish tacos. Whelp! (rhymes with Yelp) whadya you know?! Where ever you are you're Never far from a Filiberto's!\nThe real disappointment is when you get to a Filiberto's whose fish tacos are smaller & come with less sauce and less salsa than the others - This, my yelp friends is one of those disappointing locations. I wasn't super impressed with the size of my tacos or the way they were put together. No doubt, I will be back if I'm ever in need again. Customer service was grand but I like to enjoy my food... i always have made good reviews for filly 'bs but stay away from this one,went in for some rolled tacos thursday nite,watched the cook cut RAW meat on the same cutting board and use the same gloves to make a burrito for some poor soul going thru the drive in he actually put the tortilla right on the exact spot where the meat was then it was my turn he took my tacos out of the fryer without tongs and he used the same gloves as before then to make matters worse he stuck his hand in the cheese and put it on the tacos. When i said to him do you know what you did he new then proceeded to say i wiill put some new gloves on and make you some more but i told him you contaminated the cheese you going to get rid of all that cheese? he said ? do you think he has been trained how to handle food ? does he have a card?(food card ) sorry filly b's that mistake could get someone real sick

Restaurent name is: Island Bar & Grill
review: Cheap and divey! My kind of place. Karoake was great, James kicks it up there, great place for that. The drinks were poured nicely (read: heavy) and the beer was cold. What more can you ask for? Bottle service you say? Go to the strip for that you fool. Give this place a try, classic Vegas ambiance style bar. Thumbs up! Casual tiki decor\nDefinite locals\nThey do allow smoking, and you can tell they fry a lot of food in the kitchen; billiards, pool, video gambling; fair prices, no happy hour; probably won't make a directed effort to come back Wow, I\'ve never had a worse time... went there 2 weeks ago\n\nHorrible place. The owner was using the word "faggots" all night, it was really classy, "faggots"? wow. DO NOT GO HERE, SHARE YOUR MONEY & GOOD TIMES WITH OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS, THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE. I was looking to pick up a quick bite to eat on my way home from work. When I called the bar I asked for a takeout order and the lady proclaimed that they don\'t do takeout orders! WHAT?!?!?! Its 2018!! Do yourself a favor and avoid this crackhead Corner infested bar and treat yourself to Steiner\'s Pub!! Not only do they do fancy "takeout" orders, the food is delicious and they have graveyard specials! This bar can easily be labeled as a weird bar...the layout is weird the patrons are weird drinks are extremely watered down & overpriced...there is 1 good thing i can say about this bar is that the bartenders are top notch down to earth genuinely cool people...other than that no dice.. Won't be going back...

Restaurent name is: Mr Beijing
review: My favorite beef chow mian here at mr Beijing is always good. The chef remembers me well and always cook the way I love. This place is the best. Love it. Orange chicken HAD to have been from yesterday and just warmed up. Actually tasted like sweet and sour chicken. rice was even stale. how do you make stale rice? Blech. wasted my lunch hour and $10.00. Went for lunch at 11:30. I ordered General Tso chicken lunch combo. Came with soup and rice. Very reasonably priced. Food was very tasty. My only complaint was that I tried to substitute brown rice for white rice (and pay the extra $1), but I couldn't get the waiter to understand my request. I just gave up and settled for the white rice Fast delivery and good food!!!! I ordered lunch at work today and the guy showed up within 30 minutes!! Dishes were still hot and yummy! The chow mein was We were in Vegas visiting, and our first day there we were hungry and wanted to relax a bit after driving found this on yelp and they delivered to our hotel so we tried it out and surprisingly the food was pretty good and fast delivery !

Restaurent name is: T.K. House of Bread & Market
review: We always order lamajun & Perashki from here and we absolutely love it. The lamajun (meat flatbread) Is very tasty and crispy which I love. The Perashki is great to! Today we ordered the Ajarski Xachapuri (cheese bread with egg) and I have to say, it was definitely the best Iv had here in Vegas. Overall in my opinion they have great food and a nice market. This place is amazingggg! The people are so inviting and friendly, their food is fresh and absolutely delicious (some of the best in town), and the atmosphere is familiar! They have fresh bread made daily along with tasty pastries, their meat and cheese selection is more than decent, their market has almost everything you need, and the welcoming atmosphere makes it worth supporting your local business!!! Definitely one to check out! I always try to support small businesses. I visit Las Vegas on business every few weeks and I had a good meal here in the past. I ordered take out while visiting with friends and it was a huge disappointment. The spicy cheese burekka was very good. The lamahjoon was excellent.\n\n The pizza was pretty bland and the crust fair at best, but this item was ordered by my friend and I did not expect this restaurant to excel in a cuisine that is not within their area of expertise. Unfortunately, we ordered piroshikis in a variety of flavors. They were ALL RANCID, not just light rancid, but very, very rancid. I suspect the oil they used had been recycled too many times. It was inedible. I called the restaurant to let them know. The gentleman on the phone thanked me for the information but did not offer an apology nor suggested a refund or replacement for those items. I got the chicken kabob and Lula. Its Delicious! Cook and staff were great, this is must eat here. ! Interesting little place. It is basically a lunch counter in an Armenian grocery store. Limited menu but good authentic food. When you order, a woman that could be your grandma shuffles to the kitchen and hand crafts your meal. \n\nEverything is delivered on disposable plates, plastic flatware and styrofoam containers but none of that matters. The food is delicious and the portion sizes are perfect. While you eat, the pastries in the cases start calling to you........ they have a wide array of Armenian pastries as well as some of your favorite classics. We ended up bringing the desserts home because we were too full from dinner. If you don't mind a Formica table with mismatched chairs in the corner of a grocery store, then you will enjoy this place. We will go back here when we want a no fuss dinner.

Restaurent name is: Culver's
review: I really enjoyed my visit to this very clean restaurant - and now I am wondering how I never heard of it. Here is my compact rating for each item I consumed:\nRegular butter burger with everything on it - 4 out of 5 stars - not quite as good as Steak n\' Shake or In-N-Out, but definitely very good, just a little "dry" for my liking. Fries - 5 out of 5 stars. Onion Rings - 5 out of 5. Cole Slaw - 5 out of 5. Rocky Road Sundae - 5+ stars out of 5. On top of all that, the restaurant and bathrooms were very clean. Service was outstanding. I will definitely be back soon! The service at the Chandler location was so awesome! They really made us feel welcome! my husband and i love culvers and last nite was the first time we were disappointed. it appears that the tuna melt i love has been removed from the menu first of all. i only had it there less than a month ago. when my husband asked about the tuna melt noone seemed to know what he was talking about? if its only been removed that recently you would think SOMEONE would know what he was talking about. after he explained what it was they made it for him (i wasnt with him). however they hardly put any tuna on it and forgot the cheese. and if they still have tuna then why are they telling people they no longer make it?? he said that the people at the counter did not have a clue. VERY disappointing to say the least. they need to put it back on the menu! Really good place for lunch or fast food better than your average burger joint! Culvers offer more of a deluxe burger. They are good size and offer many tasty sides the cheese curds are pretty tasty as well. Also, they have seasonal combos for food and concrete mixer which i highly recommend. I mainly go to culvers for their amazing concrete mixers. Their flavor of the day always changes plus you get two free mix ins for the concrete mixers! I am a huge fan of their cheesecake options you can get just about any berry and cheesecake combo! Friendly staff and they usually have coupons available.\n\ntry their-\nButter burger/ with or without bacon\nSweet potato fries\nConcrete mixers- Ask about their seasonal specialties Typical overpriced fast food - $12.09 for a 2 piece cod, fries and coleslaw - and small drink - dry dinner roll hard butter - makes bread fall apart - not impressed on my first visit!

Restaurent name is: Taco Bell
review: Writing this review while waiting on food that I ordered 25 mins ago and currently watching the employees scream to the customers if anyone wants a refund because they're taking to long. We have been in here almost 30 mins and nobody not only us, has got there food yet. Some of the employees keep look at each other laughing about the fact that people are getting upset. There's no line in drive through and maybe 10 people in the dining room, and that's it. The dining room is also disgusting, and customers are having to clean the booths themselves. Will NOT return. This place is horrible. we've been here several times and never had a problem. the drive thru gals are always friendly, out going and professional. This is the worst taco bell I have ever been to. It is also the slowest. I remember one time I ordered a burrito and the rice was bad hard and crunchy, SO I call and go get another one. Guess what they put the same nasty rice on it. Didn't even take the time to make new rice after the complaint. Called back and told the manager he was a joke. This place is also very skimpy with the meat and cheese. I have had tacos where half the shell only had lettuce and you could easily count the shreds of cheese (less than 10). But this place has been like this for over a decade and they are not about to change so I never go there. The night shift manager no good. Has attitude. Really bad attitude. On the speaker you literally have to tell HER 17 times what you wanna eat, she doesn't get it. I called police on her 2 times. I mean all i want is some food i have no clue what her problem is. Have been waiting in drive thru for 10 minutes and haven't moved.. I'm at least another 15 min away from ordering. It's like this every time at this location. The people who work here don't have a clue. I don't understand how this location stays open because it takes so long to get your food.\n\nEdit: has now been 40 minutes in drive thru! This is a small town! Unbelievable

Restaurent name is: Miele's Italian and Banquet Hall
review: Miele's has some of the best Italian food hands down. The fresh, baked bread before your entr\xc3\xa9e is the absolute best. The staff and service is always great. I'm not a big fan of their new location but it won't stop me from coming back. This was a very good experience. Although the wait for the entree was long it was well worth it. The staff was very friendly, food was very good and made us want to come back for lunch. Awesome place. Good service but I'm rating it with a one star because the food was not very good, especially for the price $$. For appetizers I ordered some sausages, cold in the middle, they brought me another order of them but they just weren't good, very dry. And I got fried zucchini, no Bueno either. For my entree I got chicken parm which wasn't bad but like I said too $$, you could go to Olive Garden and be more satisfied. Oh! their bread was good so the pizza may be on point but I didn't try? We arrived and were greeted by Rich. Very nice man, very attentive and made sure our drinks were filled in a timely manner. Our meal was served with perfect timing, appetizer, salad and then the Entree without making us feel rushed. My wife ordered Zucchini Slices - Lightly battered and fried zucchini slices. Served with ranch for our appetizer. Delicious! For her appetizer Butternut Squash Ravioli Stuffed with fresh butternut squash and ricotta served in our homemade tarragon cream sauce. And she loved it!!\nFor me it was the Veal Toscano - A veal cutlet is tenderized and pan seared with prosciutto, artichoke hearts and mozzarella then served in a white wine sauce. Absolutely delicious!!! Homemade italian bread w/olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We will be returning in the near future My grandson and I had the displeasure of ordering from this restaurant. A waste of 32.00 and I tipped the delivery person. The crust is bland, the fetuccine was like gooey. Tasteless Italian food should be deemed a crime

Restaurent name is: Istanbul Grill
review: This place is amazing. Located in a nice area, the ambience is cool and trendy. We had ordered the dinner for two......and man was I in a for treat. The appetizers were great, it had a little bit of everything from hummus, to tabouli, to dolmah, to baba ganush, and more amazing items, all with fresh hot bread (heated on the grill). For dinner we got a combo plate, came with doner, adana, lamb shish, and chicken shish. Adana was out of this world and you know it has been grilled fresh on charcoal, the lamb shish was melt in your mouth, doner was standard (it's gyro meat, its either good or bad lol). I will say I was not a fan of the chicken shish. It was juicy, cooked perfect...but i guess it needed more flavor/seasoning. Dessert was also absolutely amazing.\n\nService was on point, wait staff is very friendly, and good price point.\n\nI would say this place is one of the top middle eastern restaurants in cleveland. It doesn't get any better here. Went here after the ale fest. I really needed food and was getting that nasty feeling of drinking too much thick beer on a very warm day. Not even really buzzed just rot gut and very hungry! I may actually be aging.\n\nWent here with some very good friends. Man, I love Tremont!\n\nWe ordered a bunch of apps and I got a lamb burger. \n\nThe feta cheese and olive app was amazing. The portion was ridiculous.It was very tasty and very mild. Not too much salt. It tasted like it was made in house! I would be fine with this as an entree. Only way it could be improved apon would be to pour some high end olive oil on it! Perfect for my mostly low carb diet!- 3 years down from 210 to about the upper 150\'s. : )\n\nThe humus was pretty tasty as well. The "pita bread" that came with it was amazing. I do need to preface that with the fact is more like Naan then pita. It was served hot like it came off a grill or tandoori oven. It was heavenly... Now I am not a fatty but the portion of humus could have been a bit bigger, I rather pay a bit more and be able to share more!\n\nThe next app was the Haydari or yogurt type of dip . It was pretty tasty but does not do much for me. I enjoy it more as a condiment. That is the beauty of food, it is all subjective.\n\nLastly and a bit sadly, was the lamb burger. I know, don\'t go to a FCUK\'n ethnic restaurant and order a burger. I was craving it, sorry. And it was really really average. It was maybe 4oz on a generic bun. It is served with some yogurt type of sauce which was tasty. Lets just say it was absolutely anticlimactic compared to what preceded. The fries were served hot and crispy as I had specified! Do not get the lamb burger unless you are a stupid gringo like me!\n\nThis is really a great place and I will have to go back. The prices are very reasonable. Most app 5-7 buck, Entrees under 20, and even had good draft beers for like OMG 3.5 a pint. \n\nGreat food, great service, great ambiance, great value. That is my summation for this review.. Just went for a Sat lunch. The lunch menu runs till 3pm and is pretty fairly priced. \n\nHere's what we got:\nHummus appetizer- not good at all...the blandest hummus I've had\nLamb Adana- the lamb was very deliciously cooked but could have used some more flavor and the yogurt sauce with it was very bland\nChicken Adana- my fiance liked it but he likes really spicy food and said the chicken could have had more flavor. \n\nThe waiter was off though, he got on my nerves because he was not paying attention to us at all, I think he was studying or something. \n\nI would def go back for the food but not for the service. I'm baaaaaack. After a long hiatus from Yelp I've decided to get back at it. So what does this mean? It obviously means that my experience at Istanbul Grill was one that I wanted to share with everyone. \n\nYou may then ask, if you wanted to share the experience so bad, why did you give it only four stars? Here's why. This was my first time to the Istanbul Grill and the approach I'm going to take is that a place has to absolutely blow me away for me to give it a 5 star rating the first time I dine there. Due to some combination of food, atmosphere, creativity, selection. Otherwise think 4 = 5 until I get a chance to go back. And you thought Al Gore did fuzzy math.... \n\nAnyway Istanbul Cafe a cozy little neighborhood place in Tremont on the south end of Professor Ave. The place has a great neighborhood feel to it, nothing too fancy but still inviting. I sat at the bar since I was by myself and there was a football game on TV. \n\nFor dinner I had the Mixed Grill Kebab ($19). While the $19 price tag seems steep when the plate came out I thought I had ordered two meals. The Mixed Grill Kebab was a combination of four different meats. Chicken, Gyro Meat, Lamb, and Lamb and beef. All the meat was super tender and juicy. The mix of herbs and spices were a perfect balance to give the meat some added flavor but not overpowering to the point that you can't appreciate the great taste of all the meat involved. The rice pilaf was good as well although nothing special. After all, rice is still rice and they aren't trying to make it the focus of the dish. I easily could have eaten half and taken half home. In fact I should have. But either way I left a very happy customer who is looking forward to going back.\n\nBottom Line: I'd highly recommend checking out Istanbul Grill if you like Mediterranean food. After another trip or two it could quite possibly overtake my current favorite, Aladdin's. Phenomenal! Authentic, delicious Turkish cuisine prepared with the highest quality ingredients. We stopped in at 7:00 pm on a Sunday night, and I was a bit wary, thinking the food might not be as fresh or well-prepared right before closing. I was SO wrong. The entire dining experience was so enjoyable and the entrees were cooked to perfection. At our table, we ordered the Adana, Iskender, and mixed grill and each item reminded me of the food I had sampled while in Istanbul.

Restaurent name is: El Taco de Chandler
review: I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about, am I living in some parallel universe? Either this place has gotten progressively worse or some people just wouldn't know good food if it hit them in the ass. This place, while it is a good dive-type place to hang out, is terrible. We went on a Saturday and it was easy to find by its bright yellow paint and beer neon signs. Ordering was pleasant as the service was friendly, ordered some beers and went to go sit down. I really wanted to like this place because the atmosphere is pretty cool with pool tables, televisions and a jukebox. The men that were in the pool section were very loud and so was the music but I figured whatever, I'm not old so it's cool.\n\nHowever, when it gets so that you can't hear the other person across from you because the music and rowdy guys are so loud, then we have a problem. The girl told us she would bring us some chips, and when they came it was so pitiful I had to wonder if this was a leftover basket from another table. There was a ridiculously small amount of chips in the basket and they were cold and almost stale. The salsa was nothing to sneeze at either so I just stopped eating it. When the food came, it looked good but they got my order wrong so I had to send it back. My boyfriend got the carne asada burrito which he said tasted good. The prices are pretty much the same as any Filiberto's or Armando's ect., and so are the food selections. \n\nThere are pictures of the meals on the wall just like at Armando's but at Armando's you get a big portion as well. The burrito he got was small. I had gotten my burrito enchilada style and when they brought back the right order it was overflowing off the plate with enchilada sauce, I was like, wtf? Don't they think they went a little overboard? The cheese on top was so fake and low-quality tasting. There was a big hunk of celery in the rice, and they put ranch over the lettuce and tomato garnish which is a huge no-no. The beans were the saving grace but the rice was almost flavorless. Just save your time and go to Armando's or Filiberto's, but if you want to just grab some beers then I guess this is the place to do it if your strictly in the neighborhood. I sat there the whole time thinking how much better I could have cooked the same meal if we had just bought the ingredients at the store. Maybe it's time to open that darn restaurant of mine if places like this can exist. Disgusting! New owner, new cook, awfully cooked food! We couldn't eat the food because it tasted so bad! We walked away...very disappointing! El Taco de Chandler exceeded my expectations. I've driven past it almost every day for a year. My curiosity finally got to me, so my boyfriend and I went in to try the food. We waited quite a few minutes (easily 10 to 15) for our order, which is a good sign for fresh preparations. The joint is hooked up with a juke box, pool table, dining area with tables and chairs, and two benches near the register, for those waiting to take their food home. There were special desserts in a glass display cabinet, including coconut clusters and sweets I've seen in Mexico. The assortment of beverages is outstanding, offering both Coke and Pepsi products, juices, CapriSun, horchata, beer, and Sunny Delight! The menu is about par for Mexican restaurants in the Phoenix area, in terms of content and price. I got a fish taco, which was outstanding! No cheap tartar sauce here! I also got a cheese quesadilla, which came garnished with lettuce and tomato slices. The quesadilla was warm and fresh, on an obviously fresh tortilla filled with tasty cheese. For the two of us to eat a few a la carte items from the menu, the total came to $11.00. There are also combination plates available, as well as quite a few soups. Overall, I was very impressed! This looks like a fun place to hang out. The food is definitely worth the wait. I happened to ask the cashier, and they are open until 10pm on Saturday's. Muy delicious! Enjoyed the burritos and tacos. Very authentic. Good crowd for 2:00 on a Saturday. They even have a pool table in the adjoining room. I live five minutes away from this place and I always trying out neighborhood joints. The exterior and interior needs major overhaul. the outside is a bright yellow building with bars over the windows. the interior is just so dated with nasty vinyl table tops.\n\nThe food is okay. I always ordered the bistek ranchero. good sauce, nice meat to pepper ratio, and a little spicy. Tortillas are good. The rice always seems to be overcooked, always split at the ends.\n\nI would give this place another shot sometime again. I drive by this place everyday at night. There is never any lights on in the inside indicating that it might be closed. However, there is always a couple of cars in the very dim parking lot with a bunch of guys loitering the lot. Every now and then there is also a blue trailer. There is definitely something shady about this place. Until then, I will give it another shot during the day time when i need a mediocre Mexican food fix.

Restaurent name is: Cap'n Taco Restaurants
review: On the one hand, I'm sure this place is comforting and nostalgic for people who grew up around it.\n\nOn the other hand this might be the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The beef taco filling is a weird texture, and it's swimming in grease, like Jr. High cafeteria tacos.\n\nOn the other hand, this place is so bad, it's remarkable, and really worth checking out, just one time, plus it's cheap, and the decor and atmosphere are great. Everything about it looks like it should be a great little dive. But then... the food. I just don't even know what to say. By hubby brought home on a Friday night out of blue and woooweee i devoured it. He got 6pck elite soft n hard tacos and burrito (to split ...but i ate it all) .wow i loved every last bite. Wanted it monday but they were closed .So here I am Friday night waiting to for the $$$ to get me some Cap.n Taco\n We live on Eastside Cleveland so not closest place but def most delicious.\nI can only speak for hard n soft tacos n beef burrito but damn been craving for a week so that should say something.\n Yes i do love Tacobell but fir good oldschool tacos burritos this is place to go. Service was great! Very nice lady covering counter and tables. Food was hot. \nNothing great but edible. Don\'t spend the extra 30 cents on "elite" tacos for sour cream and tomatoes. Not worth it\nNachos were ok but had some weird seasoning on em. Not bad, but not good. Would go back to support a local business but not for the love of it. A lot of the haters didn't think I'd review Cap'n Taco, but here I am. If you're looking for modern Mexican cuisine, hit up chipotle. If you're looking to take your taste buds on a rollercoaster ride of authentic Mexican food, this is the place for you. \n\nThe taco shells are crisp and fresh and the sauce will take you on a one way trip to flavortown. Forget Taco Bell, this is the late night booty call you're looking for. \n\nSad that my friend Dominic (picture attached) refused to sample what the Cap'n was offering. Its was the worst place the old lady with the dirty blond hair need to get get some manners and learn how to talk to people she's very rude I think she needs not to touch the top of the glass when she would bring it to. Some one at the table tie back her hair she's working in a restaurant it's gross to see somebody's hair flying around why they're putting your food together i got hair in my togo bag its was sick i dont know how thay get away with the place looking like that old and dirty floor has tiles falling apart dust every were wash her hands after taking money then touch glasses and the togo silverware thats not wraped she need a class for sanitation. When i got home i just throw my food out i will never go back !!!!!!!!!!!!

Restaurent name is: Yu's Cafe
review: I really enjoyed my lunch today. I had Orange chicken, fried rice, crab ragoon, and egg roll. \n\nThe Orange chicken was very good. Lightly breaded and fried WHITE meat. It was covered slightly in a nice Orange glaze served with real carrots, onions, zucchni and real orange hunks too. It was not overly fake orange flavored or overly sweet. It was alot like Bamboo Grill's orange chicken. (One of the best I have had)\n\nThe fried rice was good but didn't have a real flavor or any kind. It was a little bland. (Maybe ask for spicey fried rice)\n\nThe egg roll was good and I am not a huge fan of them. It was full adn cooked perfectly. It had a good flavor too. \n\nThe crab ragoon or whatever they call it was good. Nothing special. \n\nThe best thing was the price. $4.13 after a 15% discount for trying them out. NOT BAD AT ALL. \n\nThe deliver too. (As mentioned earlier) \n\nPS They serve breakfast too. American style breakfast. I am surprised by the negative reviews. I have lived in Asia and this is the real deal. I hate to say it, but if you don't like this food, you don't really like authentic Chinese cooking. :-)\n\nAs to the person who claimed that one of the reviews is a lie because it mentioned breakfast, if you read carefully, the person just said breakfast is offered, not that they actually had eaten it. Just because you disagree with someone's review, there is no need to accuse them of lying. That's just a low blow and unecessary.\n\nI have eaten here several times and have always been very pleased!! There are a wide variety of dishes. The food is made to order and they are willing to tailor what they cook to suit your taste. There's tons of combo meals so it is possible to get a little bit of several dishes for a very reasonable price.\n\nSome of my favorites are the chicken with vegetables (tons of different kinds of veggies are included), fried dumplings (with the dumpling coming out just a little crisp), fried rice with shrimp (so many shrimp so little time! ;-)), etc.\n\nI can't wait to go back and try some of their egg drop soup and ma po tofu!! Finally something worth while in that old taco bell. I have not been back to the other two Chinese food restaurants in my area since I found Yu's. The lo mein bows are great! My wife is very particular about the meat that she will eat and her Kung Pao Chicken was very impressive she said. The meat is a quality cut and not over cooked. The pot stickers were fantastic fried to a light golden brown. I was given the choice of fried or steamed. the meals were completed quickly as I sat in the drive through and came out steaming hot. My son had the orange chicken over Lo mein, I had the jalapeno chicken over lo mein and as I mentioned my wife had kung pao. I'll be making my fourth trip there tonight. Great food and the price is right! Yu\'s promises a lot but delivers little. \n\nI got their delivery menu on my door the other day and was delighted to see they described themselves as serving "Chinese Food & Sushi". Delivery sushi? Have I died and gone to San Diego? Evidently not.\n\nThey have two choices for sushi: california rolls and vegetable rolls. I chose the california rolls, but what I got could not be described as a california roll or indeed sushi by anyone who has ever had either. The rice managed to have absolutely no taste even with a ton of soy sauce on it, and the roll instead of crab mix had a pencil-sized chunk of fake crab, a pencil-sized hunk of rock-hard carrot, a similar piece of cucumber with peel, and a teeny tiny sliver of avocado. Seriously, Yu can get at least 100 of these travestries from one 99 cent avocado.\n\nThe seafood delight consisted of fake crab (seriously, folks, we know you can\'t sell real crab at these prices but at least have the class to call it "krab". We\'re white, not stupid) along with lots of shrimp and about two cups of absolutely raw carrot and celery chunks. Is it too much to expect the food to be cooked?\n\nOh, and here\'s a clue: offer two liter bottles of soda. Your competition does.\n\nIf you\'re looking for sushi delivered in Phoenix keep looking. If you\'re looking for good Chinese, remember this: Not Yu. I tried out Yu's Cafe today, which is a Saturday. They said the delivery would be 45 mins to an hour and my food arrived in 35 mins. I ordered the wonton soup that had a variety of very fresh vegetables. I have never had wonton soup with red & green peppers but it was still good. \n\nI got the fried pot stickers which were ok. I have always had steamed but was in the mood for something different, I should have stuck with what I know. I am sure they would have been awesome if they were steamed. I will defiantly try them next time.\n\nI also got a combination dinner of Mongolian Beef which came with an egg roll and fried rice. It was good as well, \n\nLastly, I order my husband chicken fried rice since he isn't big on Chinese food and I heard no complaints. \n\nI have tried a lot of Chinese restaurants in the area and I have to say this will be the only one I order from, from now on!

Restaurent name is: Panda Express
review: I have been to this location on 59th & Olive Avenues, many, many times. Today was my last visit as the 4 women working ignored us, the 5 groups of people behind us got served before we did, customers even asked these women to serve us first as we were first in line they all responded that they didn't see us! How ignorant can you be! I am appalled as to the ignorance of employees & manager who never stepped in to see what the ordeal was! I will post over every social media sight as to the rude & ignorance of these employees! Seriously do NOT EAT HERE. They apparently hate their customers. I went thru the drive thru and they did not give me what I ordered. They screw up orders regularly. The manager Fernando was the rudest person I've ever met. I gave them their crappy food back and never had my money refunded!! He would. not give it to me. I called their corporate office and they were as rude as that manager was. What a bunch of losers!! Their are plenty of locations with kind considerate folks who just want you to enjoy your meal. They make you feel good just walking in. Go anywhere to Panda Express than the one at 59th Ave and Olive. They suck! Worst Location! Couldn't even finish our sentence when trying to order in the drive thru, employee was so rude, kept cutting us off, was not listening, and was messing around with the other employees. For the past 5 times we have been, they have gotten our order wrong, this time it was so bad we actually drove back to have them fix it, ughhh we should have learned to check it before leaving the drive thru! We will NOT return to this location, finally learned our lesson :( by far the worst panda I've ever been to. it's close to the house and typically I've had great experiences w/ Pandas but every time I go here I'm left unhappy. they literally gave me four pieces of chicken. Terrible service. Went through drive thru thinking it would be faster. My mistake. after getting my drink, the girl told me to park at the designated drive thru spot. 10 minutes later still no food. I went inside asking where my order went. I was livid. I told the older lady who seems to be in charge and I finally got my order. Next time I will go somewhere else.

Restaurent name is: Pizza Pizza
review: I'm shocked. As I sit here awaiting my pizza, the man who took my order did his rounds of emptying the large trash bin in the seating area. I watched him run with the bags to the back door garbage bin and promptly return to the front desk to show the waiting customer the contents of his pizza order. All without washing his hands. I ran over, gave him a mouth of shit and he went to the back to wash his hands after agreeing he should have done so. Duh. The customer thanked me and I hesitantly took my order. I'm by no means a clean freak, but this pissed me off. Dammit. This is the worst pizza pizza.....my pizza was under cooked. I went up to show them this as u could clearly see it had only been warmed at most.The very rude girl at the front said " No, its not under cooked....if it was cooked anymore it would be burned ".There wasn\'t even one part of the slice that was brown...Why have people handling the front if they don\'t know anything about customer service! Yuck.\nCheapest ingredients, worst pizza sauce in Ontario.. Maybe north America.\nI'd walk a few blocks down the street, better options! Ok, I have HAD IT with this location thanks to the rude, young European girl behind the counter (there are two that I have seen here, I\'m referring to the more scowly of the two). It\'s a shame because my kid loves it here and it\'s close to home.\n\nI really don\'t like to point out people\'s faults unless they\'re blatant (such as this occasion and my previous review below about Mr. Stinkpalm). This "woman" has a constant scowl on her face so she\'s easy to identify.\n\nI was in a few weeks ago and asked for two medium pepperoni pizza specials. I asked for them "lightly done" since my young kid has a hard time with overdone crust. It even shows on my bill (see the pic attached). Well they came out very overdone. I went to the counter to show her and she REFUSED TO REPLACE THE PIZZAS. I really didn\'t feel like waiting anyways so we ate it how it was. I sucked it up and decided not to announce my displeasure with a review update.\n\nBut today!!! I took my young kid in for a quick slice and fries. My total came to $5.02. I paid and she ate and all was fine until I decided I had better get a slice for myself too so I ordered a slice, fries and a coke. My total came to $4.19. I asked why I had paid almost a dollar more for my kid\'s order. She replied "because you didn\'t order the special". I told her that I didn\'t order the special the second time around either. She told me "Yes, but you ordered what the special contains". I asked if since I had paid a dollar more for my previous order if I was entitled now to my pop, not even mentioning a refund for my overpayment.\n\nNope.\n\nI let Scowly know what I thought of her and wished her a nice day. She purposely grossly undercooked my fries because of it. Boy I hope she reads this. Better yet, I hope the franchisee does.\n\nDo yourself a favour and go to one of the several REAL pizzerias in the vicinity and stay far away from this joint. And to think I just checked in here for the 20th-some-odd time. Mr. Stink Palm doesn't seem to be employed at this location any longer.

Restaurent name is: Panda Express
review: I will never spend my money here again.\n\nThe food is always soggy and cold!\nAnd the staff is the worst I've seen in a long time. The three employees there today were either high as a kite or they absolutely hate their jobs!\n\nThere is another Panda Express right up the road from this location with great customer service and fresh food. \n\nDon't waste your money at this location(shea and tatum)!!! Panda's food is consistent from location to location, so you always know what to expect when you go here. This location is no different than any other: the servers are polite, the food is cooked fresh before your eyes, sometimes there's a wait, and it's fairly reasonably priced. If you're looking for American-style Chinese fast food, this place won't disappoint. I live near this location and I have eaten here regularly for the past decade. Off and on quality usually, but passable and we eat there regularly. Recently in the last few months the quality and service has gone very downhill. Ate there today and our food was practically inedible. Green bean chicken was overcooked, could not even eat the green beans they were so hard. Amount of oil left on the bottom of the plate was disgusting. The mixed vegetables were so undercooked they were raw. My daughter's chow mein was overcooked and crunchy to bite into. Inedible. The spice in the orange chicken has notably increased and daughter would not even eat it (her normally favorite dish). I will never go to this location again. On top of all that, the four servers/staff who were there were laughing, giggling, and acting like immature 12-year-olds instead of giving good customer service. Totally unprofessional. I would only eat Panda, if it were the last CHinese Food on Earth. Everything has an aftertaste to me, and their are maybe 5 items at best to choose from. Teeny boppers seem to love it though, as there always seems to be a long line of them, whenever I pass by. I just stopped for food here and Wow, it was horrible. The staff can't understand English nor speak it. The give me very lil food on my to go order. The availability of food was very low and dry. Although, I wanted a good serving thank goodness I didn't get it. The food tasted disgusting, very dry, burnt and not fresh. I threw my food out after a couple bites-should have returned it and asked for a full refund.. very dissatisfied!

Restaurent name is: RoadHouse Cinemas
review: Now this is the way to watch a movie. Drinks, food awesome lounging seats. Roadhouse knows what's up. The fact that this place isn't 5 stars absolutely boggles me. Came here tonight and they had live music in the lobby. The bartenders were also super friendly. Take my word for it people, this is the ultimate movie experience. P.S did I mention they have happy hour? Yep. I was a little skeptical before going. Figure it was going to be over priced like the other movie theaters here. \n\nWe went, instantly welcomed with loud hellos and big smiles! I was blown away by the ticket prices, then we ordered drinks, then food that was delivered to our comfortable reclining seats! Then we got the freshly cooked amazing food! The best part was the drinks kept coming and when I got the bill I realized I would be going back just for happy hour! \n\nIt wasn't packed, our hostess was so nice and prompt! \n\nI will never go to another movie theater and now look forward to going out to the movies!! I haven't been on a Wednesday yet. But I heard it was $4 movie night! \n\nBest place in town I LOVE this theater and really want it to last but the service is the WORST!!! I mean the worst!!! I work in the service industry and can\'t believe the way the servers treat you here. I am literally watching a movie here right now with a friend and am so disappointed. I have brought at least 5 different friends and family members here and can say that only 1 time did we have a nice and competent server, and an enjoyable experiences. I hope the owners of this theater take a hard look at there service standards because there are plenty of other theaters out there to choose from and this theater could really be a great place.\n\nI forgot to mention that the theater is freezing cold. Almost unbearable. My friend had to ask for some hot water so she could hold onto it. (Which also took until halfway thru the movie) \n\nWe were very excited for the Carmel pop corn but they are "out". When we asked if they would make more they told us that the white cheddar is the most popular so they were just going to make that. Seriously? We ate dinner here so we could have the Carmel corn as our dessert and they were so rude about it. I don\'t understand how a theatre, on a Sunday afternoon, is fully stocked on their products and then snuffs a customs off for wanting Carmel corn. So disappointed. This is the only way to see a movie in theaters! You can't go wrong with the movies, food choices, and prices! I've been to this location three time and had wonderful experiences each time. The staff is very friendly and attentive. If at anytime you need something press the call button on your seat and they're there within minutes. The sofa like chairs recline and honestly it's like watching a movie on a bed they're super comfy. I without a doubt recommend this place for great meals and an awesome movie viewing experience! Roadhouse is my favorite movie place to go to. I love the food, seats, and the $6 movie Tuesdays. There is nothing better then some jalapeno popcorn and a good movie! You need to go there!

Restaurent name is: Taqueria "El Gallo De Lagos"
review: From the looks of the outside you might hesitate and turn around and leave but I'm telling you the food is amazing! By far the best Mexican food in town! From curb this plase looks like any other run down Mexican street food spot. Once you step inside it is anything but. The two ladies in the kitchen were friendly and efficient. The place smelled clean and of fresh cooked tortillas. I ordered three tacos and a jarritos orange soda the total came to six bucks (little spendy). One of the ladies brought out fresh cilantro, onions, limes, and radishes as well as thee kinds of salsa!!! The meat was savory and the tortillas fresh made. I will definatly be back! Best tacos I've had in a long time. A large group of us showed up right before closing and they welcomed us with open arms. The service was excellent and they have a wonderful variety or delicious antojitos mexicanos! I will definitely come back again and again! Very good! Meat cook to perfection with tasty salsas. Tortas had the perfect bread reminded me of food in Los Angeles and that's hard to find around here. Will be back. This is the real deal...authentic Mexican food!! If you've been craving real street tacos, this is the place! Exceptional food, great service and awesome prices! Everything was fresh, from the tortillas to the meat to the guacamole and salsa!

Restaurent name is: House of Blues Restaurant & Bar
review: Went to HOB for Thanksgiving Buffett. Food was dreadful, tasteless, and they ran out of Turkey several times so I never had any. Wait staff was not friendly and appeared annoyed. Will never go back. We have never been to a house of blues and I am now glad to say I have. The entertainment was great, the jambalaya was exceptional and the atmosphere was festive. We look forward to trying other HOB's in the future. Great restaurant has breakfast until 12pm. \nconvenient to the lobby and casino. We had breakfast twice, was reasonable and good. I had Eggs Benedict, sauce on the side. Not smothered. Ask for the special , it's not listed in the menu. Full hot breakfast for $8 . Eggs , bacon, hash browns and toast. Iced latte was perfect! The restaurant is nice and the service was great. I gave two stars because the fried shrimp was extremely salty and the second round of gator bites were mixed with chicken bites. My husband is from New Orleans and I had lived in Baton Rouge for over ten years. We ate gator too many times to count. We went during happy hour and there were four of us. I guess they feel people don't really know the TRUE taste of gator nor the texture to fool customers. Returned after many years away, looking forward to the breakfast Corned Beef Hash. Was told by our server (Aune) that's been off the menu for years. It was the BEST breakfast after hitting Vegas the night before. Though the world famous Hash is gone... the service made up for it.

Restaurent name is: The Living Room Wine Caf\xc3\xa9 & Lounge
review: We got here at 3 on a Friday and there were plenty of seats..by 4 the place was packed and you could bearly get to the bathroom. The service was really good and so was the food:) Honestly worst service I have received in a long time. They were so slow at everything. More than 15 minutes for them to take my order and more than 20 to give me my change. Honestly they weren't even busy.Not recommending or coming here again. Really enjoy the food and wine here, also great cocktails. Loved the take on a Moscow mule with cucumber! The awesome fries are truly awesome :) Friday nights are always busy for happy hour, so we got there at 445 (happy hour ends at 6). The host said 30 minutes for a party of 7. ONE HOUR AND TWENTY minutes later we get a table... No happy hour prices for us.\n Great food, too loud atmosphere & waitress had way too many tables to be attentive. Great location too but 3 stars for incorrect wait times, no applogy & missing happy hour (the whole reason we chose this location). Service and atmosphere is amazing. Having an acoustic set during brunch was very nice. Food was subpar at best.

Restaurent name is: Pacific East
review: We ordered takeout from here tonight and while it did take a while for the order to be ready, causing my husband to have to sit and wait for our food a while after he arrived, the sushi was really really good. I had the Xmas role which is Tuna, avocado and fish roe. It was excellent and the pieces of tuna were huge, and by far bigger than the portion of fish I'm used to getting in a typical maki role. And to make it even better these roles were the price\nOf a standard maki role, around $6. My husband for the spicy tuna roll which was excellent and also the yellowtail role which he also loved. \n\nOutside of the wait, we had a really great experience! I have always enjoyed the location on Coventry. This one, not so much.\n\nFood is moderately priced and service is average.\n\nWe sat down for dinner and shortly there after overheard a family complaining about the sushi smelling overly fishy. This should have been an immediate sign to get up and go next door. \n\nWe ordered the Sushi Boat for three, Tempura appetizer, and Nabe Yaki Udon. The Tempura was well executed and the Sushi Boat was a good amount of food. We also experienced the fishy smell the family next to us was experiencing. The fish was as fresh as you can expect in the Midwest. It was the decorative lettuce that smelled rank. We sent the lettuce away and things seemed to smooth out. We all shared the udon and things went down hill very quickly. The same fishy smell was there. Not to mention it was poorly flavored and the chicken was over cooked. It was the cabbage in the soup that smelled. We all got through half our portions before we gave up. I tried to let the chef know but the language barrier was too much and i gave up. The three of us who had the udon did end up with mild stomach aches. \n\nSafe to say I will not be returning. Consistency in their sushi preparation gives this restaurant four stars in my book. It didn't get five because I have had much better sushi in other areas of the country than Cleveland, but for the area it is pretty good. Pacific East Eton is always packed at lunch and has friendly and efficient wait staff. \n\nWe have not had any entrees there, only the rolls and sashimi. The rolls are always good and the sashimi is fresh tasting. You'll leave feeling full and satisfied. I heard about this place before I moved to town and definitely didn't disappoint. Freshest sushi I've ever had. And really good service (for a sushi place). I can't wait to try out the original. But the color of the tuna and salmon were second to none. Sushi done right! Keep up the great work. Tried the bento lunch box multiple times. Comes with a clear soup, salad, choice of meat and sushi. This dish has an excellent balance nutrition wise. Great service too!

Restaurent name is: Piazza Monte
review: As with most Friday evenings, exhausted from the work week and limited food prep time prompted me to I finally try that new Italian eatery located in the Port Union/ Lawson plaza." Pizza Monte" I ordered the large 3 topping pizza and the two types of Lasagna.(dinner for 2) that included 2 side salads ans garlic bread. The guy serving me suggested I get the three meat topping (Italian sausage, hamburger meat and bacon) He also accommodated my request to have 1/4 of the pizza cheese only for my son.\n I was initially impressed to see the old style "large pizza box" but certainly was disappointed with the quality of the pizza. The amount of meat was shockingly sparse and was lacking a generous portion of cheese and sauce. you know you going to be disappointed when you can count the sausage slices on one hand. I was left thinking, my homemade pizza is much better.\n At a $25 price point one would expect generous portions of toppings. With the always busy ,Pizza Pizza a few blocks south serving a great PIE, you better get it together or the For Sale sign will be up. You can only burn someone once serving crappy pizza. Most customers won\'t return.\nOn a brighter note, I enjoyed the meat Lasagna. The sauce was very tasty. \nThe Caesar salad was a huge disappointment as well. Some creativity please... Romaine lettuce and old Store bought croutons with a bland dressing just didn\'t make the grade.Try serving up larger portions, extra sauce/meat along with some real old country flavor. Momma Mia!!!! \nI\'m going to be back to try the veal sandwich for lunch this week. Fingers crossed. Piazza Monte opened its doors just this past week and is definitely a welcome addition to this sleepy West Rouge plaza. After seeing their "opening soon" sign for months, I was happy to see their sign was finally lit and was eager to try out their food. \n\nPiazza Monte occupies a very small space and there are only 2 tables (8 seats total) so you may not want to dine in. More than half of the eatery is occupied by a drink fridge, hot table and a cash counter and the layout is a little awkward for lining up. I\'m guessing it\'ll probably be more so if the place got really busy. \n\nThe family serving behind the counter were actually Italian. It seemed like the whole family was there from the young grandson who was helping out with the Arancini balls and the cash to the nonna who was assembling our veal sandwich and a lasagna lunch. To me, if a nonna is serving up my take out lasagna, that usually signals an above average meal already. I liked that I could actually peak into the kitchen and see that everything looked clean and tidy as well. \n\nThe veal sandwich comes with the choice of mushrooms, peppers, onions and hot peppers as toppings (2 free toppings). The breaded veal cutlets are kept in their light tomato sauce in a shallow hot table tray so don\'t expect the Mustachio\'s or even the California sandwiches\' occasional crispy crunch to the sandwich. But the veal is not pounded too thinly like that of Sinatra\'s so even a single cutlet for a sandwich didn\'t seem too skimpy. However, my meat loving hubby mentioned that next time, he would like to get the double sandwich. The sandwich could have used a little more sauce for our liking but that is strictly a personal preference and something they\'ll easily accommodate. \n\nThe lasagna is your usual square cut stack of noodles and meat sauce with cheese. Extra Bolognese is served over the lasagna and the flavourful sauce is well balanced and meaty. Occasional appearance of roughly chopped pieces of carrots and mushrooms made the homemade sauce seem tastier. Lasagna is served with 2 pieces of "garlic bread" which are baked up pizza dough with dry herbs and parmasan cheese. I definitely prefer these to the greasy garlic breads dripping with garlic butter. \n\nOur first lunch from Piazza Monte was good and we can\'t wait to try out their other offerings soon. Veal on a bun - veal was coated with flavourless flour and made the veal taste pasty. Bun was soggy. I went to this same place last year and it was good. What happened? Did you change ownership? Because I tell you, what a difference a year makes. I remember last year a wonderful very nice couple serving. It gave it a sweet family feel. But today---that was not my experience at all. Why so crusty, people? \n\nI ordered penne with rose sauce. I can't believe I paid over $8 for pasta in flavourless rose sauce. My dish was dry, and flavourless. For the price I'm paying and the time I waited because someone had to go make the rose sauce, I expected this to be a decent tasting meal. I honestly might as well have bought the prepared kind in the grocery store as it would have tasted better and had more sauce. \n\nI should have listened to my gut instinct and just driven 5 minutes more to Port Union and Kingston and go to LaManna instead for better tasting Italian food and value for my money. \n\nIm sad to say that I will not return to Piazza Monte. We just had the best lasagna from this place. It was catered and we just put it back in the oven just to heat. It was sooooo good!! Homemade pasta sheets and the sauce was just superb. Too bad we live downtown or else I would have loved to go and try everything on the menu.

Restaurent name is: Taquitos Jalisco
review: Best street tacos i've found since being in mexico... Ive been going here since high school and it hasnt changed a bit in the last 12 years... Prices are fair Went to Tacos Jaliscos today and ordered Pozole. Was told they were out of it. So I ordered the tacos at $1 each. I ordered 2 de pastor and 2 of lengua. I must say that they were not fresh at all and they did have a TON of cilantro and onion mix on there. I really didn't like the tacos. Now, the drink place next door is really good. Probably won't return unless I try the Pozole. My friends and I still call it 'Los' and it's my favorite burrito spot. Bean & cheese burrito is the best ever but the entr\xc3\xa9es are legit too. Tacos here were really good. I tried the pastor and the lengua and was very happy. Will definitely eat here again when I'm in the east mesa area. Moved near by and utilized Yelp to fine new dining experiences, after reading reviews I decided I needed to try this place. I ordered 6 tacos and ask that they do not put any chili whatsoever. I heard the guy tell the cook not to. .....grabbed my food and went home. ......all my tacos have salsa :( :(. I am too tired to go all the way back. I called and they didn\'t know what to say. ...and I mean they literally said "I don\'t know what to say...it was the cooks fault" there was no management around...... I don\'t think I\'m going back

Restaurent name is: El Pollo Loco
review: I placed an online order because I did not have much time for lunch today. I arrived 6 minutes after my food was supposed to be ready and it was not ready yet. There was only one other person in the ordering area who was already waiting for food when I walked in. I waited an additional 8 minutes before my food was ready. This now puts it at 14 minutes after it was supposed to have been ready. As other reviewers mentioned there were lots of people in the kitchen area but nobody was really doing anything. When the girl told me that my food was not ready I expected her to give me my drink cup so that I could get my drink while I was waiting. Instead, she just walked away. \n\nOnce my food was ready I had to ask for my cup. I arrived back at work to find no utensils in my bag.\n\nI ordered a chicken bowl combo. I have previously only had pieces of chicken and tortillas for any El Pollo Loco. I would say that the bowl was just ok. The portion was smaller than I would have expected and the side of chips was 4 chips.\n\nI probably won't go back. I really should've listened to my friends and coworkers who said that the company isn't what it used to be. Definitely regret it. First it takes forever to get our food with only 1 other customer and a full staff behind the counter.\nI finally get it and I find a hair in my Mac n cheese. Gross. I toss it because I'm not taking it back just to get a special one returned to me.\nThey give me no utensils so I go back up, there's a guy in line waiting to order. No one has helped him and I continue to wait just to get a spoon or fork, everyone in view was just walking around slowly behind the counter or laughing/yelling and overall just messing around. At least 4 people saw me and the other customer waiting there but did nothing. After awhile I just sit back down. It isn't worth it. The food was unbelievably expensive and the quality was trash. You could go to Taco Bell and get the EXACT same thing for a better price. The only positive thing I could find was the salsa was decent. Other than that this place is trash. It's a big waste of space in the Safeway parking lot as if the parking lot wasn't a big enough cluster, it's even harder to maneuver with this big wasted space of a building in the middle of it. I don't mean to sound dramatic it's just a total lack of logic. Nice to (finally) have an El Pollo Loco close to home!\n\nAs El Pollo's go, this one is above average! The beans are good (my go/no-go determining factor for an El Pollo location). \n\nQuick, tasty, affordable...what's not to love? Chicken dry. Chicken small. Chicken did not taste good. Light light years worse then the good Pollo Loco we knew back in the day. So disappointing . Usually very good! But this time was not good! Be careful when you order from the drive thru. We ordered the family dinner. Wanted all dark meat. Received 2 breasts. White meat. Plus they did not include our churros. And all the sides were about half full in the containers! Very disappointed!

Restaurent name is: Las Tortillas
review: I finally found a convenient time to try Las Tortillas after weeks, maybe even months, of craving REAL tacos. The small restaurant is tucked away in a small strip mall just north of Marlborough Mall. Don't expect to have a gourmet sit-down experience. Most people who come here take their tacos to go, or they gather around the small table in the middle of the room that seats 6 people comfortably. About 60% of the space is the kitchen, and the rest is the roaming area for guests like me.\n\nThe menu is simply a letterhead of about 8 different items to choose from. I was here to the tacos, so I tried the beef and the shrimp. The prices have not changed (they are still $3-4 a piece) and let me tell you, it was well worth it! I tastes like the ones you would get at a street vendor in Mexico, except with more stuff! It was very flavourful, spicy, meaty, and well balanced. \n\nAlthough my experience lasted maybe 10 minutes, it left a lasting impression. The small shop was showing what looked like a Spanish soap opera on TV, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I didn't feel like a stranger at all. I'm happy to confirm that Las Tortillas DOES have the best tacos in the city! Absolutely awesome. As a taco expert (I ate millions when I lived in texas) I can definitively say this is the best in Calgary. Prepare to have a real taco experience. Get the Tacos al Pastor or the Carne Asada tacos. Awesome awesome awesome. I needed this to come to Calgary. I may have to agree with Dan and Andrew here.. Las Tortillas has the best tacos in the city! \n\nAfter my Mexican food revelation in San Francisco, where I realized what I had been missing all these years of my Canadian life, I must say I am pretty happy I tried out Las Tortillas and their tacos yesterday. This is exactly how a taco should be... flavourful, meaty, and reasonably priced. At $3 or $4 a piece, you cannot go wrong. I tried the beef, chicken and the shrimp yesterday. It takes a while for them to give you your food, but its worth it. I was jubilant yesterday. Since I absolutely refuse to eat the bland skimpy mess that the Calgary institutions put out, calling it 'tacos', I thought I was doomed to depriving myself of all kinds of Mexican food in Calgary... but it doesnt have to be that way anymore! I have found my fix!\n\nTotal win. I have already declared my decision to come get some tacos here every time I am in the NE. \n\n6/30 Im new to the city and its very important to me that I can have tasty Tacos to put into my face whenever I need them. I was honestly a little anxious when I moved to Calgary that I would have a hard time finding the right spot for me. Well fear no more, this place is legit. REAL tacos. 10 out of 10, would taco again. Hands down best tacos in the city!\n\nFresh homemade tortillas blanketing your choice of beef, chicken, pork, shrimp or tongue at $3 a piece! I will take 6 thank you! The shrimp was my favorite but the other options are no slouches either.\n\nTake style place and home to the most authentic tasting tacos I have had in a while!\n\nLoves it!

Restaurent name is: Bangkok Paradise Restaurant
review: There are two broad types of Thai restaurants in Toronto. Those where the chicken is fatty and tendony, and those where the chicken is fatless and tendonless. Bangkok Paradise is one of the latter. The green curry chicken is great, and all of the dishes are quite reliably good.\n\nThe decor is not great, however, so if you can get take-out or delivery, all the better. The lunch specials are very cheap and nice; you can call ahead and pick up your lunch combo quick. Terrible, Absolutely terrible. Anyone here claiming this is good food let alone good Thai food has never eaten a meal with flavour before. Try Koh San Road or Sukho Thai if you want Thai food that actually tastes like Thai food. It was disgusting. Had the pork basil noodles- I promise I'm not on joking that in the whole dish was 4 basil leaves - the dish was basil pork but they decided that it wasn't worthy of the basil. My friend ordered the same +same problem. No flavour. Dry. Overcooked. The pork was indistinguishable from dog food. The pad Thai was as dry as an old boot. The edamame was older than time itself, tasteless, underseasoned, overcooked, garbage. Literally the worst I've had, and I've eaten it a lot. Seriously guys, this place is utter garbage. Save your money and go to the restaurants I mentioned earlier, this place is just bad. Bangkok Paradise used to be one of the best Thai restaurants in Toronto back when it was a standalone restaurant. Some time around 2010, it became a sushi place. I was disappointed that yet another great Queen West establishment had bitten the dust, until one day I learned that they hadn\'t exactly disappeared, but had "merged" with the sushi place. So I went in to order my favourite dish (red curry vegetable and tofu), but it was nowhere near as good as it used to be. Different owners, different cooks, and apparently different recipes. In the 2000s, I\'d give it 5 stars, but this is definitely not the same Bangkok Paradise as it used to be. Maybe the sushi\'s good and they should stick to that. WARNING!!!! \nThis is NOT in any way shape or form Thai food.\nI suspect the owners are Chinese as the food used is mainly chinese ingredients. The owners should be ashamed they are parading their dishes as thai when clearly they are not cooking thai cuisine.\n\nThe food is bland and boring and has not one single ounce of Thai flavour to the dishes. The Pad See Eew I ordered was a sloppy mess with the wrong noodles used, no sweet soy just a hot mess of Chinese stir fry.\n\nThe salads I ordered I will not even eat, the beef is wet and soft and is really suspicious, I don't know how they cooked it. There is no lime or fish sauce in the salads, just awful.\n\nI got 2 mango cold rolls which were big and fresh, but one can't really go wrong rolling up some vegetables in rice paper. Dipping sauce was watered down and horrible.\n\nDo yourself a favour and not order from here if you are after a Thai meal because you certainly won't get it. While I've never had 'authentic' thai food, I *am* picky about what I eat.\n\nThis is one of those meals I CRAVE, every so often.\n\nI always get the same thing:\nVeggie pad thai, no tofu, extra veggies &\nGolden Curry Chicken w/coconut rice\nand 4 veggie spring rolls.\nAnd it comes to about $34. \n\n\nIt's also a meal the keeps giving - \nYou order this, and it will keep you full for days.\n\nI never eat in, as the find the atmosphere cold & dreary, but the tables and chairs are wobbly. \n\nJust call ahead, and place your order for pick up. \nOR, if you're lazy (or sick) they do have delivery, which is quicker than most delivery places in Toronto. \n\nThis yummy food, is total feel-good food, and you won't regret trying it.

Restaurent name is: Gionino's Pizzeria
review: Horrible! Topping were under the cheese. Everything just slid right off. Crust was floppy and soggy. Haven't found a good pizza place since moving here. So i have ordered from Teresas since i moved back out this way from cleveland. There were at least a dozen times teresas said they couldn't deliver to me cause they were too backed up or for whatever excuse. Then i remembered a place we used to order from when i worked at a shop out this way Gioninos. Did a quick web search and found they're open later on weekdays and weekends than teresas. Their prices are better on pretty much everything than teresas or at least equal and the food is better and they've NEVER messed up my order. Teresas had messed up a buncha my orders. Gioninos is a good 10min drive away from me whereas teresas is a 7min walk and Gioninos somehow managed to deliver faster or in equal time. If Gioninos started serving calzones id never buy anything from teresas ever again. Best pizza you'll find south of the city. Always fast delivery and 15-20 minute carry out. I get my pie a little well done and sprinkle some crushed red pepper and parmigiana on it to satisfy my taste. My go to pizza joint!!! It never disappoints!!!\n\nI also recommend them for their catering services. I had them prepare enough food for a company event -- food arrived hot and on time for 200+ employees.\n\n5 star items:\nPizza, all their Pizza!!!\nWings\nMarinated Italiano Fried Chicken\nPhilly Steak Sub\nItalian Sub (Ask for hot peppers)\nMeatball Sub\nGarlic Bread w/ cheese! Great tasting pizza but I have the pizza delivered and it is always a slow delivery time. Each time the driver calls and says their on their way but by the time I get it the pizza it is cold. I won't order delivery again so I may not ever get their pizza again. Pizza is what I order when I don't want to cook or leave the house. Its decent pizza.. nice sauce..nice dough. ..but I didnt enjoy the sausage. \n\nThere is no wait staff inside..but there are like 6 tables and bottles of soda if you want to buy it and eat there. \nSmall place but decent prices. They have specials on Monday for a beat the clock special after 5pm. You pay what the time is for a large pizza. Try it on monday and see what you think.

Restaurent name is: Sing High Chop Suey House
review: Trust this review. Simply just avoid. The cook(s) have zero pride in what they are serving. Zero. What a disappointing shame to the culture of Asian food and a waste of money. The food here is always great. The sing high fried rice is excellent! Fresh made to order. I always get an egg roll as well which are large in size. The service is always fast too. I've had their food in the past, never really stood out as great but it's the only Chinese food by my place of work. I order their Chicken Green Beans with Black bean sauce. Wasn't awful, but I've had better at other restaurants. Not only is the quality or quantity worth the price tag at all, but later that night and all throughout the next day I had food poisoning. My boyfriend had their Mongolian beef and suffered the same thing. Maybe it was a freak incident, maybe not. Either way, I won't be going here again. There's plenty of other Chinese food restaurants that deserve your appetite's attention. Hell, even Panda Express is better than this garbage.\nDon't waste your time. Or your money. Defiantly a Central Phoenix landmark restaurant. Food is good. We have eaten there and/or ordered for take out. Wife loves their pork fried rice. I love their mongolian beef and beef with broccoli. Father in law loves their beef chop suey. There is something here for everyone. I couldn't eat here. My egg roll was unrecognizable and not appetizing. The chow mein looked like someone gave birth to it. Hot and slimy. I sent it back and the waitress got angry.

Restaurent name is: Cafe Stratos
review: We have been going here for years. Typically for breakfast, but I've eaten lunch and dinner here.\n\nThe menu has lots of options, and they are all home cooking and comfort food type selections.\n\nWhen we do breakfast, if we buy a beverage, the meal is half off. What a deal! Not sure of the time frame, but we are always there before 9am.\n\nWith dinner entrees, typically they bring warm, crusty, homemade bread. Mmm!\n\nThe folks that work here are very friendly. The place is clean, and filled with character.\n\nThe salad bar is nothing special, but I enjoy the soup options. Without a doubt, the worst breakfast ever! I had the basic breakfast with biscuits instead of toast. The biscuits were tiny and seemed kinda rubbery. The hash browns you can taste that they had been frozen and just bland and although they looked crispy, they were not. The eggs tasted like those weird eggs you get on a free breakfast at a hotel stay. My boyfriend had sausage gravy and biscuits. The gravy was bland and the sausage part of the sausage gravy was MIA. Again, tiny little biscuits. Save your money and drive a little further west on Lorain to Canary's or Gourme. Don't be fooled by the hours Yelp has posted: this is a 24/7 place. Reasonable prices, efficient service, good food. This place was amazing! Great food.... Warm homemade bread, wonderful soup and salad bar.... Very reasonable pricing.... Good service and nice people. It's Friday night and not crowded here but should be!!\n\n\nPs....Also a great kids menu (we brought our 3.5 year old) Was here Monday morning for breakfast. Good decent food and nice prices. Missed the breakfast special by 1/2 hour. We got there at 10:30am or a quarter to 11. I wanted the friend I was with to get out of bed to join me, but they were lazy. I finally got them up and ready.\nI had a basic egg breakfast, 2 over medium, bacon, hash browns with rye toast and coffee. The portions of hash browns and bacon were generous. My friend finished what I could not eat. I love hungry skinny people with high metabolisms. \nThe wait staff was very friendly. I would love to give 3 1/2 stars, my 1st batch of eggs were not cooked all the way, but they were nice to bring me another. They cleared the table when we were finished and did not rush us out. We got to talk for a little while. I enjoyed them pretty well, but it was a little to warm in there. They needed to turn up the air a bit.\nI would like to come back and try some of the other food, another time.

Restaurent name is: Fu Sheng
review: Refused me alcohol after getting off work. Hadn't been drinking at all. Embarrassed me in front of my whole family. Came here every week for past 2 years and was my go to Chinese restaurant. Lost a loyal customer. Disrespectful. If you want some deliciously fresh Chinese food, come check out this place. They are having their grand opening going on right now, it's that new. My husband and I decided to try it out, and we were not disappointed! We were greeted right away upon entering and seated right away. Our waitress took our drink order and quickly returned with the drinks. She gave us time to review the menu. They have two options for sizes, Large which comes with white or fried rice, or the combo which includes an egg roll, fried wonton, 1 crab puff, fried rice and egg drop soup.\nI opted for the Large garlic shrimp with white rice. My husband and I shared this as the Large is enough for two people. Be prepared to take a doggie bag home with you. The entree was delicious and arrived quickly. This dish is a bit spicy for my liking, but not overpowering spicy. The rice was cooked perfectly. They do take out, but not delivery. Our waitress was by several times to check on us and was very friendly and attentive.\nThe place was clean, tastefully decorated and had TV's. We will be back for eating there and ordering take out to eat at home! We have eaten here every other week and it is just delicious! We have had the orange chicken, general tso's chicken and kung pao chicken. the hot and spicy soup is great. nice owners..check this place out! Had a craving for great lemon chicken for about 10 years and everywhere I have been has been a disappointment, Finally! Quality chicken breast with a lightly fried crispy flaky crust with an awesome lemon sauce, I want to order another one as I'm typing this I hope they stay consistent My husband and I wanted to eat Chinese food and we wanted to try a new place so I looked on Yelp and found that Fu Sheng has opened recently and they had good reviews so we decided to try it. We arrived at around 8pm or slightly earlier and the first thing that caught my attention was how nice the interior decor is in comparison to the outside look of the restaurant! The outer look was more like a diner and it looked kinda old but the inside of the restaurant was nicely done we were please fly surprised. When we walked in, there were a couple of people waiting for a takeout order and there was only 1 occupied table. The restaurant is pretty big, again it looked much smaller on the outside. We were seated immediately and asked what we'd like to drink and were handed the menus. A few minutes later our waitress came back with our drinks and asked us if we were ready and we were so we ordered the meal for two. We selected the hot and sour soup & the egg drop soup. We also selected the fried shrimps for our appetizers and one crab cake. We also ordered the chicken Lo Mein, the sweet and sour chicken and the beef with Broccoli. (With this meal you get two soups, 2 appetizers each, 2 main dishes and one noodle or rice dish)\nWe were served the soup very quickly. My soup was a little too spicy for me I couldn't finish it even though it was very good. A few minutes later our appetizers which were 3 pieces of shrimp and 1 crab cake, so I guess by two appetizers they meant 2 pieces. The shrimps were nice and crunchy and my husband liked his crab cake. Just as we were finishing the appetizers, our mains were served. \nThe food was delicious and the first thing you notice when you take your first few bites is that the food tastes clean! I saw a review saying that and I totally get it! Yes, it doesn't taste like your typical everyday take out Chinese food! \nWhen we were close to finishing our meal, our check was put on the table and there were people already cleaning the restaurant, something I thought was not entirely appropriate given that we felt rushed the whole time rather than feeling that the server was trying to be efficient! She was in a hurry to settle the bill and get us out the door even though it was only 8:30pm, no one else was in the restaurant and they close at 9:00pm!\nNevertheless, and despite the rushing part, this place I believe is a great find and we will be going there again for sure!

Restaurent name is: Barro's Pizza
review: Barro\'s Pizza is far better than any of the "big brand" shops. Not a gourmet restaurant, but an excellent pizza spot at reasonable prices. Barro\'s overall is 4 stars. But this location, at Grayhawk gets 5 stars. I drive a half hour each way to this location. Not all Barro\'s are equal. I pass two closer locations to get to this one. It is consistently a better managed store. Pizzas are always hot and fresh and they are made with real care. Staff is always courteous and I never have a wait. Highly recommended! The line at Grimaldi's was too long so we headed for Barro's. It's no Grimaldi's but the pizza sure was good, especially for the price and the fast and friendly service. We ordered the thin crust pizza, extra crispy. The crust was good and crispy. We're from New York and this pizza was more than satisfactory. The wings, served piping hot, were pretty good, too. Wow the rudest most despicable "manager" I ever dealt with at the Scottsdale Grayhawk location. His name was Casey... Or so he said. Blonde guy with tats on his arms. I have been going to Barros for ten years. I go here almost every day for lunch. It\'s located by my work and home. I know the staff and the previous managers. They\'ve all been great and welcoming. This was my first ever bad experience and holy cow this guy needs to be fired!!!! I went in for lunch. And I simply asked when the new fresh pizza comes out? Simple question. It was noon and I knew they\'d be making more slices. The kid behind the counter was acting nervous and said that there\'s still some good slices out. That\'s fine but I just asked so I know whether I should order a medium pizza or just get a slice of its fresh. He goes back and talks to Casey. The kid comes out and tells me it\'s a 7 minute wait. Fine. I pay and he continues to act nervous. He forgets my drink. I sit down and 3 minutes later I see that kid take a slice from the old slices sitting out. He brings it in a to go box. I never said to go. I\'m furious because he LIED to me. The point isn\'t that it was a old slice but now he\'s trying to lie to me?? I ask to speak to the manager and Casey comes out. He says "we\'re not in the business of making fresh pizza just for you". I didn\'t say just for me. It\'s noon. You\'re going to be making some anyway. What\'s the big deal if I wanted to wait??! Then he arrogantly says that I HAVE to eat what\'s left over and that he knows the managers and he\'s not concerned about getting in trouble. Then he lectures me about starving kids in Africa. What the fuck??? I\'m a customer, a female and you so disrespectfully rude????? I am never going back to barros again if this asshole isn\'t fired!!!!!! Spinatos or rosatis here I come. I love Barro's pizza! It's super yummy, love the dough. Service is awesome, called in an order to go and it was hot and ready when we got there to pick it up. You can also, when eating at the restaurant, grab a cold beer as well. Wings are also really good. Awesome neighborhood pizza joint and we will for sure be back! Good pizza, friendly staff, and on time delivery. Better than the other major chains with sauce, crust, and cheese. Give it a try!

Restaurent name is: Humble Pie
review: If I could give zero stars I would. Came here with 4 kids after visiting the aquarium. There were only two tables occupied so we thought, perfect we should get food pretty fast! We were seated and then waited a good 5-10 mins for someone to come take our drink order. Waiter came, we ordered sodas, fries, pizza and a salad. Minutes go by and we finally get our drinks. Then about five mins after that we get a salad and then nothing. The waiter doesn't come back by and no more food comes to the table. Just nothing. After about 40 mins I had to get the waiters attention and ask about our food. He looked dumbfounded and said he didnt know we ordered anything other than the salad. We had 4 kids with us! Why would we only order a salad (which was for the adults) and not feed our kids?! We paid for our drinks and salad and left. If I could give this place no stars I would. Came here for a pizza after a visit to the OdySea Aquarium only to be told "sorry guys we can NOT serve you a pizza because we are out of dough" \xe2\x80\x8d. My friend, you are a pizza place...no dough should never be an excuses! I know for a fact that there are other Humble Pie\'s in the area and know one could take one for the team and drive and to get more...or something! It\'s poor planning on the management side as there has been this summer special in place for a while and planning should have included making sure staff had enough supplies on hand to make for this to be a profitable evening! \nSorry but not sorry Humble Pie this one oops has made me NEVER want to return or try your place! Slow to be acknowledged for a table. Gluten free pizza crust has a gross chemical flavor. Sauce salty, veggies not fresh. Server was nice, about he only good part of the visit. I would pass on this one. Unfortunately not much in the OdySea area to choose from. Never been to a restaurant before that brought out the food for half the table and 10 minutes later brought out the food for the remaining guests. Humble Pie was capable of doing this with pizza and macaroni and cheese. Not worth the over priced meal. We ate here on a business lunch and it was awful. Not nearly enough staff and the food took about half hour to come out. We had to get our food to go. I don't really have anything nice to say about our experience. Not really trying to slander your name, it was just the most annoying part of my day eating here.

Restaurent name is: ATL Wings
review: Dry wings, poor customer service, and expensive. I'm better off going to Native or Buffalo Wild Wings. These wings are #bomb! Tried the boneless style wings and they are a pretty good size with not much breading --more meat is always a plus! I recommend the chef special sauce, soooo delicious! The honey habanero is not spicy at all so if you're looking for something spicy then try another sauce. However, it's still pretty tasty, with more of a honey flavor. Also, the honey biscuits were amaziiiing! And great customer service for being very busy on a Sat night Don't come here if you have plans. Waited 40 minutes for 18 wings. That's over 2 minutes per wing. Not good enough for the wait and it's dirty.\n\nThen they gave the order away to someone else cause they don't check receipts or call the right name and acted like it was my fault. Absolutely trash place. So my friends told me about how amazing these wings are, and they were absolutely correct!! I loved the wings and honestly, I don't even know how any other wing would compare at this point. I got the ATL rub and honey bbq wings, delicious! They were crisp, not greasy and super flavorful. I highly recommend the ATL rub.\n\nHowever, I would not recommend dining in. Every table was sticky and full of fingerprints and the employees look less than happy to be in the customer service industry. The woman who took our order was rude from the get-go and she was eating food right at the counter. The bathrooms were worse so the best plan is to just get those wings to go. Pretty tasty wings! Very tasty sauces and rubs. The ATL rub is amazing. The honey BBQ was very good too. The garlic parmesean was a little disappointing not very cheesy. The main reason I only give 3 stars is because the wings are not consistent in size and some are quite small... but all in all I enjoyed it!

Restaurent name is: Cafe at Harrah's
review: Ok, after reading some of the other reviews, I see we all have the same problems. We were staing at Harrahs and of course my cousin and I didnt want to walk anywhere else after our feet were hurting from our heels. Figured I'd try the $5.99 steak and eggs. Besides that, there isn't much to choose from after 1am. Everything was pricer than I thought. My cousin got a Philly Steak Sandwich, asked to add lettuce, which cost $1 and they barely put any on the sandwich. The fries were good thoug...but it was like $13 for her meal. My steak and egg special which is only served from midnight to 6am was gross, but I was hungry. The eggs were so nasty, I couldn't eat them. It tasted and looked like the fake eggs. The steak was burnt on the outside and red in the inside...I asked for medium well. I drenched it in ranch...surprised we weren't charged for that. The hasbrowns were hard! Think the toast was the best part! Haha. I mean if you are hungry at 3am...then fine...otherwise, walk somewhere else. During the day...do not eat here, there are a ton of more places to go to. And yes there is a $2 sharing charge and a $2 to-go charge. Ate here twice during my stay. I have to say the Cafe was pretty good. Pancake triology was amazing and the food came out hot and fast. Service was eh at best. The Italian nights menu scared me at first seeing as this is a Cafe but the food was as good as I have ever had. Can I give negative stars? Do NOT eat here. Way over priced. \n\nI am an eggs benedict-a-holic. I love them. I have had alll kinds. These are by far the most bland eggs bene I have ever EVER had. We waited for 25 minutes for a table. Far too long when you can see more open tables then occupied ones. Im not kidding 40% full, 60% empty. \n\nThe potatoes were cold. The hollandaise was foul. it had no flavor. NONE at all. I mean I have had ones were some lemon juice is added and it's at least bare-able. But no. It was bland, tasteless, and cold. I told the waitress twice, this is unreal. Add a lemon squeeze and BOOM 10x better. And make sure its warm. You brought it out under a silver plate topper, but it was cold. \n\nSAVE YOUR MONEY! DO NOT GO HERE. GO wait elsewhere. The cafe was great. We went here after we checked out and had to waste some time before our airport shuttle came to get us. We were seated right away. The food came quick and it was very good. We had breakfast- Texas French Toast, Eggs, bacon, coffee. It was all good, and the prices were reasonable. Def convenient when you are staying at Harrahs. The food is bad for you in all sorts of ways. The service is not so great. Props for being open 24hours and seating our large group quickly (diamond club member, what). You're better off paying less at Denny's for better food otherwise. Waiter was friendly, but slow in bring food, check, water. It's ok if you're gambling the day away and need to kill some time from losing all of your money, but I've had way better at other hotel cafes.

Restaurent name is: Walnut Grill
review: Nice setting and service, or the quality of the food it was expensive, 2 children, my wife and I was 50.00 including tip, no wines or alcohol on the tab. Service was really good. Would have been 5 stars but food was average my wife had a charbroiled chicken and it was full of gristle, I had a turkey Rachel which was a turkey sandwich with Cole slaw and Russian dressing on rye, the turkey it self was good the rest was not so good. My oldest daughter wanted spaghetti she got buttered noodles. My youngest got chicken strips, who can screw up chicken strips? The kids fries was the shape of a smile face that was cute. When I visited walnut grill in shadyside, the service was very good, however the only problem I had was when I ordered a ribeye steak sandwich and the server informed me that this can only be cooked one way. The sandwich was good, I just don't understand how u can only cook a steak one way. Decent beer selection, but would probably not go back. This place has cockroaches.\nPeople throw up in the booths.\nPretty good white russian. Food, blah. Pierogi with chipotle butter app was terrible- frozen Mrs. T's pierogi in PITTSBURGH is just lazy, and they were drowning in greasy, room temp aforementioned butter which carried heat with absolutely no flavor. Everything else was of unremarkable to poor quality. Main courses were a cuban sandwich and something I don't recall (bad sign) and were extremely disappointing.\n\nService, argh. It was late, but if you're open you're open, right? Slow, inattentive, wrong sides (which we couldn't correct given the service) an they basically vacuumed around our feet. Want good bloody mary's to kick off your Saturday or Sunday morning? Come to Walnut Grill. They throw a jumbo shrimp in it which is awesome. The eggs benedict is terrific!

Restaurent name is: China Buffet
review: I took my wife and daughter for lunch. Everyone enjoyed the food. In my opinion, the shrimp was overdone. All else was good. The service was great. I noticed that while the ice cream scoop was, indeed, in water, there was running water in the container making sure the water was regularly changed. Would definatly go there again. 5 star buffet for sure. If you are in the University area and are looking for a quick lunch for minimal cost, this is your spot. China Buffet has become my go to place for lunch. I have been here three times and each experience has been great. I have gotten seated quickly and served a drink promptly. My waiters have been attentive without being overbearing. Their sushi bar is excellent!!! It has lots of variety and special rolls. Definitely the best sushi I have found in the University area. Hibachi and Chinese buffet foods were great as well. The only thing I have yet to try is their soup bar. The soups look amazing, but I am usually to full to eat one. Absolutely will try one next time. I highly recommend the place. You won't be disappointed. Truly sorry it took me so long to find it as I have worked in the area for several years. China Buffet is a gorgeously appointed restaurant; almost too nice to be a buffet. I really wanted to take home the dining chairs. The Dining area was a bit to brightly lit for my tastes.\nThe buffet itself is huge and so typical of the generic American/Chinese buffet standards. My initial reaction was that there was nothing I wanted to eat. Tons of American junk food, sushi made with surimi, basic Chinese dishes you see everywhere. A salad bar with some great looking mixed greens but nothing but pickles to put on it. The usual Hibachi grill. Upon further investigation I found some steamed clams with a nice gingery sauce that was worth eating. Then I discovered the baby octopus! They look like little tiny - oh never mind - and were cooked with jalapenos. Tender and spicy, one of the best dishes I've ever had on a Chinese buffet. I ate the whole vat.\nWould definitely come back for the baby octopus, but with my luck they wouldn't have it that day. I rarely care to review Chinese buffet, but this one is amazing. Love the variety of food, great service, and how fresh and delicious everything is! This place used to be amazing. Originally, I gave it 5 stars, which is rare for me. Unfortunately, the past few times I've eaten there it seems to have suffered the fate most buffets do. Something has drastically changed and everything was bland, plain, with all the deep fried foods tasting exactly the same; like cheap, plain fried batter. Obviously, someone decided they could make more money if they started using cheaper, lower quality food from their food supply company. It's a shame, but I would no longer recommend this place. There are much better Chinese buffets out there.

Restaurent name is: Congin's Pizza
review: Update: \n\nThe Chicago-style pizza is phenomenal, however their delivery service blows hard. All the food arrived cold. Delicious pizza. Old school in most senses of the term. It is in a tiny, unassuming building in what would otherwise be a pretty unremarkable intersection. The pizza is standard thickness with a great balance of flavor and texture. Places like this need to survive so check them out. Not enough of them out there in Cleveland. This place is a neighborhood staple. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious and reasonably priced. I've had the pizza, wings, subs, salads, and pasta, it's all yummy. Great for feeding groups and they deliver. Great pizza, friendly and prompt service, love this place. Alright this is my Friday night safe haven for lunch .. Its a sure bet if I'm tired of cooking or just the average fast food stops this is where I choose to get my food from... The delivery times are precise

Restaurent name is: Great Steak
review: I have been eating at this Great Steak location since I was in high school. How yelp missed it all these year is beyond me. Anyway, Great Steak has terrific Philly cheesesteaks. They also have a yummy chicken Philly. Their fries are fresh cut and soft, not crispy, so they're not my favorite. I just go for the subs, as they're pretty hot and damn good. If you like melty, cheesy, cheesesteaks that are on par with or better than Mr. Hero, this is your place to go. I mean, it\'s Great Steak...in the Galleria, which is dead. It always has the longest line because it\'s one of the only places left that isn\'t a full blown restaurant and won\'t give you food poisoning. \n\nMy friends and I have a joke where we ask each other how our food was from their and our answer is always the same "Mediocre at best." \n\nIf you want something semi-quick (I wasn\'t joking about the line, it is sometimes insane), that is basic fast food, then this is right up your alley.\n\nI\'ve tried many of things, chicken fingers meal, philly steak meal, salads, bake potatoes...all are good and what I expected. I\'m always extremely full after and sometimes may feel my arteries clogging as I\'m walking back to the office. Sandwiches are very good, fries are constantly undercooked and soggy. Buffalo chicken sandwich is excellent. Typical meal around $7. It\'s been what? Twenty years since I\'ve been in Galleria? Still mostly empty too.\n\nAnyhow dropped by for lunch after checking out their menu online. Got the combo (under $9) which includes fries and drink. Entire staff was very friendly and efficient. Sandwich was good, around 6". Only real complaint I can make about the food was that the fries weren\'t seasoned out of the fryer. In retrospect that\'s my fault as I was the one that was supposed to do that. Wasn\'t clear, but now I know.\n\nShow this place some love peeps. This store is located in the food court at the Galleria on E 9th and is a decent lunch option is you want to be really full and get the "2:30 feeling" and pass out at work after lunch. The cheese steak is alright. I have had a lot better and try not to eat food like this too often. The line moves pretty fast. I really do enjoy the french fries. They remind me of the Boardwalk Fries in the old Westgate mall. I think they are fried in peanut oil.

Restaurent name is: Dandelion Noodle
review: Sept 5, 2018 - We were walking around the Midland and Finch area and felt like having Pho. As we were walking we saw this restaurant. \n\nWe decided to go in and check out the menu. The prices are bad and we saw other ppl eat and it looked good. So we decided to try it.\n\nOur server was very nice and helpful. We both ordered the same thing. I also ordered a sweet tea called "the king is always lucky"\n\nWhen we got our dishes it looked really nice, the server also bought side dishes. The soup smelt similar to Magic Noodle. \n\nWe liked everything, and I would definitely go back. Hot and Spicy? Perfect for the weather is cold and I heard it is going to be snowy?!\n\nI love Noodles and can never resist a hot bowl of soup noodle. Dandelion Noodle has a good selection of noodles: braised, soup, dry, cold and more. \n\nDropped by for a late lunch. I was the only person in this big spacious dinning room. Service was fast and friendly.\n\nPotato Glass Noodle in Spicy Mala Soup ($8.99) 3 chili spicy was quite spicy. I had tears in my eyes while eating the noodles. Love the toppings: dried tofu, mushroom, enoki mushroom, kelp, veggie, potato slice, luncheon meat and half an egg. \n\nShould I challenge that Pickled Pepper soup base with 4 chili next time? Their signature stone pot noodle has potatoes and assorted vegetables along with the meat and tastes really really good. Love this restaurant! The BUNS are amazing, the service staff is very friendly, and the noodles are made on site, freshly in front of you! The chief even does magic tricks! Definitely a hidden gem in Scarborough! Noodle place located at Midland and Finch plaza. Has a lot of seating, compared to other places around it. Interior is quite nice, however seats are too close together in my opinion. We decided to order the Dandelion Signature Braised Noodle dish, but as soon as we got it we were a little surprised because it was different from the image shown on top of it (shows a white bowl with noodles and soup). When we asked whether they got the order wrong, they said it's the right one - they explained the braised noodles are the omes that come in the hot pot with little sauce, while the regular dandelion noodle is the one with soup. SO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THE PICTURES ARE A LITTLE MISLEADING! We also ordered pork buns because everyone on Yelp was raving about it - however it was just average for me. Both the noodles and buns were nothing special. May come back to try the noodles with soup next time.

Restaurent name is: Va\xc3\xaf Burger
review: The food is yummy .. I order the iron man and my hubby got desperado ( we thought it was best to get food that matched our personalities ) lol the food is great \nnot sure why a halal Place has bacon on their menu but the sandwich was filling .. at $23 ( I have given up caring about the exorbitant food and gas cost in Canada ) I think the food was amazing !!!\nAll the late night snackers this is a great place to go ( open till 12). Super bon, super chaleureux, bon service!!\nPas trop de bruit.\nPrix raisonnable pour la quantit\xc3\xa9s et vari\xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9. Tr\xc3\xa8s interessant d\xc3\xbb au nombre de vari\xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9. Cela est tr\xc3\xa8s originale! This is a new halal restaurant in the Cote Vertu area. The sandwiches come in a soft and what seems like a freshly baked bread. The meat is freshly grilled and full of flavor with some veggie garnish thrown in the back. The meat is the central focus of the sandwiches. It's a nice place for a quick, cheap bite in the area Love their Red Light sandwich. The tandoori chicken is really well seasoned, nicely grilled and with the right amount of heat. Their bread is very soft and warm, which goes well with the overall taste of the tandoori chicken. Definitely get it with their hot sauce!! Their sauces on the side that come with the fries are to die for. The people are really friendly and the place is always clean. However sometimes the waiting time can be inconsistent. Usually they're fast, but I've had times where the place was completely empty and it took 30+ minutes for them to make my sandwich (maybe the forgot my order). But otherwise I'd recommend this place, it's cheap and delicious! Ses un amie qui m'a faite d\xc3\xa9couvrir ce restaurant Jai pas \xc3\xa9tait d\xc3\xa9\xc3\xa7us de mon choix trio Django prix raisonnable \nService tr\xc3\xa8s bon beaucoup de saveur et beaucoup de choix

Restaurent name is: Sumo Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar
review: I do not love this place as much as others, it is your standard issue mall hibachi grill located outside a mall in a family friendly environment. You can find similar quality at lower prices, or higher quality at similar prices, but if you're looking to keep a group of kids entertained, it's probably worth it. Most parents in my circle and their kids enjoy it. The biggest thing that turned me off is the ventilation. Hopefully they get this corrected fast, you walk out smelling like a hibachi grill. Me, I would much rather go to Takumi A few blocks down the road. As a huge fan of hibachi I had to try Sumo. Was not impressed, the chicken was average at best and the shrimp was awful. The fried rice had little flavor. Awful service as well.\n4/10 I\'m still on the hunt for a great hibachi restaurant. Ever since Ginza closed, nothing has tasted nearly as good as their food. Sumo was very busy last Friday night which to me is a good sign. It\'s very nice inside with I believe 9 hibachi tables. Service was extremely slow. We waited and waited just to get water. Our drinks arrived after being at the table for 30 minutes. The chef came out with the food cart and was having issues with the table so walked away and was gone for over 10 min with the food cart out. It was strange -- then he got it to work and started cooking. I wasn\'t impressed with the food. The 2 good things were the fried rice and the steak. The Chicago sushi roll was disgusting. My friend and I had to keep dunking it in all the sauces just to semi enjoy it. For $12, you\'d think it would be a good roll but the "crust" on it was so hard and thick. Don\'t get that roll. We were there for over 2 hours. I wouldn\'t go back for dinner. With the loss of Ginza of Tokyo this is a welcome addition to the area! \n\nUpon walking in, I was pleasantly surprised by the decor and ambiance. It's a bit over the top, but that's why it's awesome! \n\nWe got there kind of late, so we were lucky enough to get a hibachi show of our own. These guys are really talented with a knife and spatula! The act seemed a bit insincere but it was still a lot of fun. \n\nThe food was done perfectly. We enjoyed a fire roll to get us started along with some warm sake. We followed this up with the hibachi shrimp and scallops. The food was really good and there was plenty of have a second round for lunch the next day- total win!\n\nWe really enjoyed our experience and the food of Sumo and we are already looking forward to our next visit! We were seated in a hibachi room, upon sitting down a mouse climbed up my sons chair. We shooed it away then it would not leave. We informed the staff and left. \n\nWill never return.

Restaurent name is: Hyakumi
review: VERY good!\n\nWe came here for dinner for the lovely teppanyaki style dinner (love this stuff). I'm quite the newbie when it comes to this, but I've been to benihana a couple of times and enjoy having the chefs cooking right in front of you. We came with reservations and were seated promptly at a private 2 person table/grill area. The dining room was very nicely decorated and had a good lighting throughout.\n\nNow we had the Hyakumi special which was $60 a person but came with miso soup, cucumber salad with crab, shrimp appetizers, vegetables, lobster tail, and steak. All of it was absoulely SCRUMPTIOUS. I had my steak medium rare and it was very juicy and very naturally flavored. The sprouts and veggies were very fresh and tasty as well. Shrimp was exquisite and lobster tail melted in your mouth. I had my Asahi beer on the side and I was a happy customer by the time we had finished eating.\n\nDefinitely worth the high price, I love eating this stuff. I also hear there sushi is delicious as well, I kept hearing the other table saying that was the best they ever had! My brother and I ordered a couple of sizzling kobe beef steaks, sukiyaki, and sushi. \n\nKobe steak was really good but for $140.00 per plate I wouldn't have ordered it, but we were on a trip with a bunch of high rollers from BKK. Sukiyaki was forgettable and sushi is mediocre from what I could remember... Hyakumi is fabulous. But surprisingly, it's not even the sushi that makes it great. What I love best is the beef teriyaki and lychee martinis. The beef teriyaki to me was the best steak I had ever had. A New York Strip steak ordered medium, it was tender, juicy, and melted in my mouth. The way it was cooked is the gold standard in my book. Ahhh...but the lychee martini was just what this girl in Vegas needed. The sweet lychee syrup mixed with lots of alcohol is the perfect beginning to a night of mischief. This place is pricey, but delicious! By far the best bento box & california roll I have ever had. Went here twice during my 3 night trip. I recommend it if you're staying in Caesar's. Convenient and yummy. The last 2 times I have eaten at this place has been less then average. \n\nI just left there tonight, we had the spicy tuna roll, the ceasar roll, rainbow roll and some shrimp sushi. Oh and we had miso soup. \n\nThe food with the exception of the miso soup was horrid!!! Completely disgusting, we did not finish it. The last time we were here, we ate the tepan grill and that was awful. \n\nAbout 3 years ago this place was a must eat at spot, when we came to Vegas . No more! Tasted like some drive thru sushi.\n\nHonestly a bowl of Life cereal would have Been 10x better.

Restaurent name is: Jalape\xc3\xb1o Buck's
review: Pretty fun atmosphere. Portions are big and the food is tasty. Seating is a bit awkward, but the biggest issue was no bathroom. If you have kids take the food to go. In fact this is more of a to go restaurant in my opinion.\n\nMango salsa was excellent. The other sides were good. Medium bag of chips left us with leftovers and we were 7 in the party.\n\nBurnt ends were good. I like a little more char, but it was still very tasty. Amazing! I love this place. \nWe usually get the brisket and it's amazing every time.\nI'd eat here more often if it was close to home :p The most amazing BBQ/Mexican place I've ever been to!! All the employees and even the owners go out of their way to make you have the best experience possible! This will always be my families favorite food joint! Let's eat! Stopped by to try this place we keep seeing as we live nearby. Was pleasantly surprised to find the best brisket in the valley!! I\'m not kidding you; we are meat eaters in this family and this place definitely hit the mark! On top of it, they have some great original sauces ! My favorite is the Spicy Barbeque or "Barbeque with a Kick", as she called it and my husbands favorite is the mango salsa. Great customer service . We\'ve always been greeted with a smile and had wonderful conversation with the owners. The hours are a little disappointing but on our visit this week we informed they are training employees so they can expand their hours! This place rocks!! My husband says he pulled pork is the best, I say the brisket is; either way, you can\'t lose! I've been driving by these orange groves several times a week since the 202 opened to Val Vista, but only recently tried Jalapeno Bucks. I have tried both the green chili beef burro and the red chili pork burro. They are both great finds for those of us who believe that chilis of all colors are definitely a food group. The only thing my husband wants when we go, is the green chili ground pork burro. I haven't tried it yet, but everyone in our family who has, raved about it. Our family is five-generation Arizona residents (4 in Mesa) and we are picky about our Mexican food - we appreciate home-style burros and don't eat at places that have trendy ingredients (the worst is pineapple salsa!). We patronize local establishments that have good food and staff that are focused on the customer. Jalapeno Buck's is definitely that type of restaurant.\n\nWe haven't tried the BBQ at Buck's, but who wants BBQ when there is great Mexican food on the menu?

Restaurent name is: Reposado Bar & Lounge
review: How in the world have I never been here before? I love Reposado. It has a relaxed, laid back ambience (the bar staff hand you a menu and let you seat yourself). My friend and I chose a table on the backyard patio, a tad on the small size, casual, and fitted with wooden bistro-size tables and chairs, as well as loungy stools and low tables for those who really want to relax.\n\nAt Reposado, you can learn everything you ever wanted to know about tequila (short of visiting a tequila factory in Mexico). I enjoyed reading the menu descriptions, but opted for the margaritas instead of the tequila flights. I had the following:\n\n-Reposado margarita: the classic margarita is done very well, and you can really taste the flavour of the tequila.\n\n-Mango margarita: the sweet mango juice makes this go down very fast. Delicious.\n\n-Chorizo and olive tapenade/crostini appetizer: a full tray of sliced spanish sausage, sauteed with thinly sliced green pepper, and a (tiny) bit of olive and feta tapenade to spread on baked crostini. My favourite appetizer of the night.\n\n-Empanadas - a trio of chicken, vegetable and beef empanadas (appetizer size) with a side of fresh salsa. Very good.\n \n-Crab cakes: delicious and deceivingly spicy; enhance the flavour with a splash of the lemon provided on the side.\n\nThe place could do with a few more food items on the menu, but I enjoyed their selection nonetheless.\n\nAfter 10pm it's bar service only. The bar gets packed, the live music begins and you can either remain on the laid back patio or join the fun inside. As others have said, Reposado serves up tequila far superior to any of the crap you remember puking up in college. Instead of making a pained, sour pickle face as you down it, you feel as dignified as a diplomat while you sip a selection of premium tequilas hand-selected for you by a knowledgeable and personable staff.\n\nOur bartender, Eddie, attended to us with such care and customization I felt like I was meeting with a mortgage consultant or wedding planner. He quizzed us on our favourite types of alcohol and price points to finally suggest the perfect flight for us to sample - Milagro brand tequila. \n\nA flight is a series of one ounce servings of a brand of tequila (they have tons of them) in each of the three stages of tequila\'s lifespan - blanco (white, or virgin), reposado ("rested") and a\xc3\xb1ejo ("aged"). The lot is served on a tray with Sangrita, a sort of spicy tomato shot that you can sip like a chaser in between swills of tequila. Don\'t be fooled by the tequila shot glasses though - this isn\'t the Madison and you\'re not meant to down these in one swallow. Sit back and enjoy as you work your way from brisk blanco to smooth a\xc3\xb1ejo. \n\nReposado also has excellent margaritas, including classic (reposado margarita), blood orange (a house favourite) and mango. Try them all. Also be sure to try some of their excellent beers - they have Delerium Tremens and apparently, according to my beer aficionado friends, this is quite the find. Savour it! I hosted an event last month in the private room at Reposado and could not have been more pleased with how it turned out. The staff made planning the event simple by answering all of my questions in a timely fashion and offered great suggestions on how much food to provide. All of my guests commented on how nice the bartenders and doorman were and of course the food and drinks were delicious!\n\nI have always loved going to Reposado and now that I know how great the private room is I will for sure be hosting another event there. Great spot for drinks with an emphasis on tequila. Live music every night starting at 10 except for Saturdays (I learned this the hard way) and as you can tell the live bands are definitley a draw. I've only been here for drinks, but it was great. \nIt's a tequilla bar and you really get to appreciate the full flavours of tequilla here.\n\nFor the life of me, i don't remember my drinks (yes i got nicely buzzed as i started drinking after work here) but i remember having a great variation of a spicy spicy ceaser, and a great drink with grapefruit juice in it. Those were the two that stood out.\n\nI have to warn you though, drinks are not cheap, especially when you start getting into trying different things. But it's a good place and worth it in my opinion. \n\nThe ambience is quite nice and the patio is cool in the summer. The seating is really low and almost middle eastern like. Chilled out vibe.

Restaurent name is: Flor de Sal
review: Just excellent. The celery and crab soup was a treat. Atmosphere was pleasant and sunny. Fantastic spot for lunch. Have been here for dinner as well and staff are always friendly and accommodating. We dine out a lot in TO and it's so refreshing to enjoy food of this caliber in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Not pretentious or stuffy at all. Wow, just an excellent experience overall.\nWe had dinner there on a Saturday night and our waitress Joanna was just amazing, it seemed that's all the stars were aligned from atmosphere food and especially courtesy of Christina coming to our table to ensure that all of the services were two excellent and satisfying standards. Without a shadow of a doubt we shall return. Hats off to the great team keep up the outstanding level of service. Fantastic!!! The fish was excellent. We had a white wine that paired perfectly with our oysters, lobster gnocchi, and fish. Definitely at the top of our list for restaurants. Stunning ambience. Food was really good but pricey. For the prices I'm not sure if I was blown out of the water, but it really was such a nice setting and the service was phenomenal - attentive but not annoying or pretentious - so I'll be back. Came here on a Saturday evening and there was no space on the streets to park and ended up parking right by George Brown College; later on that evening, the owner mentioned that we could contact the restaurant ahead of time to see if the building across the street could accommodate more parking, if needed.\n\nAside from that, this house, turned restaurant, is beautiful! Flor de Sal means Flower of Salt, an FYI. Service was exceptional and it was such a warm gesture when the owner came by our table and had a nice small chat with us and made it more of a personal experience. Food and ambiance was great; we had a great seat in the house, where we were cushioned with the window by our side. \n\nWe'll be sure to visit this place again and book ahead of time :)

Restaurent name is: The Crack'd Egg
review: 15-20 min wait to be seated. 50 Min wait for food. Very below average / bad food. Dry pancakes. Cold food. Undercooked Potatoes. Eggs were slightly runny. Don't even look at the turkey sausage it was terrible. Waitress was nice. I stopped over here after my blood work "fast" to try out their breakfast. They actually serve lunch and brunch but I opted for breakfast. The place is very clean and there are tables and booths along with a bar to eat from.\n\nUpon arrival I was told I could sit anywhere I wanted. I chose a large booth and my waitress was extremely attentive to my needs. I even had a cloth napkin which held my silverware. Portion sizes appeared huge but I had a craving for an omelette. If one on the list didn\'t meet your expectations then you can order a "make your own" with one meat and 3 other fillings. The omelet comes with toast of your choice, and your choice of home fries or potato pancakes.\n\nMost omelets are 3 eggs so I ordered one with Swiss cheese and veggies. Everything you need is right on the table including ketchup. I got my food in a reasonable amount of time.\n\nThis omelet was delicious and the rye bread that came with it was very thick! Quite filling to say the least. I had coffee-your standard type you would get in most breakfast spots but I liked the fact that the food was not greasy and believe me hard to finish. Prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. This is a very small place on Brownsville Road almost directly opposite Brentwood Towne Square. Parking however, can pose a problem. Street parking is available if you are lucky enough to find it. You cannot park in the Towne Square and walk up. Signs are there stating they will tow unless you are visiting one of those businesses. \n\nDefinitely a must return to try out for lunch. 2 hour street parking is available during the day but again the spots are very limited. Back again, and I have to say the quality is top drawer, I never have to reclean their silverware, they are always clean, no spots. I love this place!! I just don't like that there is no privacy in the bathrooms. When I was 6 months pregnant I was in the bathroom puking, and everyone in the restaurant heard! How embarrassing, but I laugh about it now! I'm a breakfast lover and this spot definitely hit the spot. Ordered release the cracking and it did not disappoint, pancakes were so large and fluffy. Prices were perfect for the amount of food you receive. Definitely keeping on my list of top places to go to!

Restaurent name is: Maverick Truck Stop
review: This is a no frills truck stop/ diner. If you're looking for a place that serves good food on the cheap this is it. I had bacon, eggs, hash browns and biscuits and gravy for $5.75. AWESOME! . You can't judge a book by its cover on this one because honestly mavericks isn't much to look at. But they are serving great food at awesome prices. So if you're in the neighborhood and your stomachs growling stop in and enjoy. Chili burger was gross.........Chili must have been old and lacked flavor. The bun was not fresh either. The french fries are crap. The service was decent. Very bad service and food was absolutely horrible. My mom and I went from a suggestion from someone. Mistake dirty, unfriendly and just basic cooking easy breakfast skills lacking. Friend said maybe she went when it was a diff cook. Will never chance that again. Just don't go. I got 2 pancakes, and hash browns for $3.25! The food was amazing, it is family friendly, and it has the best service i have ever seen/had in Vegas! They need money so please give them big tips. Wow! This is the true blue truck stop hidden behind Wendy's. \nYellow and red placard on the wall announce all the specials and another sign lets you know that they have homemade macaroni and potato salad.\nAll the tables and booths were filled with truck drivers. I imagined Large Marge coming around the corner any second. They have an array of cheeseburger sizes and the 1/2 pound we got seemed enormous. The prices were beyond reasonable. It was a true blue truck stop cheeseburger served up by a sweet little old lady. The fries were nothing spectacular and the side salad I had was good. I will return, if for nothing else to experience a true americana experience. \nI will be back again for some rib sticking biscuits and gravy and apple pancakes.

Restaurent name is: Native Grill & Wings
review: Havent been here in awhile. Waiter was nice. Food was good. Would go back every once in awhile.. Took my brother here for the first time. I had a great first experience when I brought my wife here I wanted to see if they could duplicate it. Came for lunch, less crowded and ordered a pound of wings to split with some pork queso (delicious by the way we loved that). Rough start though with our waiter. Asked for sweet tea and the waiter brought me what looked like brown tinted sugar water. Incredibly watered down, asked the waiter (reciept said his name Pandalis) if it was sweat tea and he said yes, asked me if I didn\'t want it he could me me regualr tea. No remake option, so I already was a skeptic, strike 1. Appetizer got here without utensils. Had to ask Pandalis for silverware strike 2. When our Asian Garlic wings cane they did not taste very good so I asked Pandalis to exchange them out possibly for something else. He just said "oh, no we can\'t do that." Strike 3, asked for the manager Tyler, couldn\'t overlook anymore, I just wanted 6 new wings. He apologized made us an awesome batch of sweet tea, a full pound of delicious medium wings when all I asked for was 6 wings to replace the Asian and took off our drinks! He definitely over shadowed the mistakes that happened. Tyler, my brother was really impressed, he definitely is coming back. Thanks for carrying about your customers. You got yourself a couple regulars! Usually I get wings here, and they are always good. Last time I went I ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries, and it was much better than expected. Not that I expected to be bad or anything, so it was that good. Went with my family for dinner and it was a total disappointment. It took almost 20 minutes to get two milkshakes, then appetizers and salads all came out at different times.\nBut the worst part was our strippers were incorrect. Both my wife and I ordered them. When they came they were not what we had thought we ordered. Instead of boneless, skinless strips, they were basically chicken fingers. I was told that that is what they are. However that is not what the picture in the menu looked like. In fact they were the same things that my son had ordered off of the kids menu. We asked the server and she said yes that is what the strippers are. She said that we should have said naked and grilled. When we told her that is what we wanted, she tried to talk us out of it as it would take 20 minutes. We said yes we will wait as we were not going to eat what was brought to us. \n\nWhile we were waiting, the manager came over and spoke to us. She even said that she would take the items off of our bill. SO after about 20 minutes, the new strippers came and they were basically chopped up pieces of a chicken breast. \n \nThen the bill came and the two orders of strippers were on the bill. When I asked the waitress about it, she asked the manager about it. She told us, that they did not charge us for the 1st order of strips that we did not eat. WOW! I was too in shock to say anything else. I paid my bill and left. $85 for a horrible dining experience.\n\nI will not be back to this location. We had an awful experience this afternoon. Horrible costumer service, the food took more than 35 minutes and it wasn\'t good. The beer was flat and we told the waitress about it and all what she said was, "oh the bartender said that it\'s all what we have right now" we complained to the manager before we left and honestly she seemed to care less. It used to be one of our favorite places but not anymore.

Restaurent name is: Big Burrito
review: The food is affordable and the breakfast burritos are pretty good. This spot is a good place to grab a bite if you're on the go and want something quick, but be aware no drive thru available. I would say that the burritos are above average in taste and average in price. This was my first stop at this establishment, and I liked it. Went for lunch and had the combo of a tostada and beef taco (hard shell). I thought it tasted pretty good. I liked the beans, and the taco too. Small place, fast & friendly service. It appears that the majority of combo platters cost $6.99, and they are currently including a free medium drink w each combo. There was a steady crowd when I was there, around 12:30 PM, so I figure that is a good sign. They are no longer at that location n e more.... U can call the location and it just rings and rings... So we decided to go there. N it has a statement on the door that they violated their lien or something and it's completely empty. No More Big Burrito! Not good. Fish tacos were over cooked and tough to chew and the only flavor you could taste was the tartar sauce (not good), even the beans were way too salty. The search for a good fish taco continues. Okay so I go in to get my enchilada on. I asked for ground beef and was loudly told "no ground beef, only shredded." So I decided to get 1 chicken and 1 cheese. The cheese was not melted in my enchilada and the chicken was a pinkish color. I was somewhat worried about food poisoning. :( I will not be returning.

Restaurent name is: Jade China Inn
review: Good food and decent sized portions. It is a little on the pricier side, but it is the best option in the area. After reading some of the reviews about this place I was a bit worried about ordering some food from here. Looking at the menu I first noticed that it has changed from the multiple ones posted on-line. The discount with cash payment as changed all over the place. Right now it is 13% off when you pick up and pay cash. We ordered the lemon chicken, ginger beef, bbq pork shanghai noodles and the diced veggies with cashews. The prices were on the higher side compared to other Chinese restaurants in Calgary but the portions also seemed much bigger. I enjoyed the food we ordered it was fairly delicious. I will definitely come back to this place. I've picked up take-out a few times from Jade. To start with, my rating is based solely on the food. I've always found the quality and portion size to be better than average. I would have given 3.5 stars but my ipad won't allow it. I would put Jade on par with Kam Han (food wise).\n\nI'm not sure why it takes such a beating in the ratings department on Yelp. I've always found it to be pretty good..... At least as good as the other Chinese restaurants in Calgary with higher ratings.\n\nWith that said, the remainder of the business could use some work. The billing / discount system is odd.... I imagine Revenue Canada is missing out on a few bucks. Customer service techniques could use a touch up as well...... I likely wouldn't dine in either; it is time for a bit of a renovation for sure.......\n\nBottom line however, when the craving hits for some good old western Chinese food, Jade will get you through it.....(just pick it up, ignore everything else and get out). The worst food ever! We ordered here for the first time, and had to throw it out. It came to $90 dollars plus tip , but would have been thrilled if it was great. We do not normally comment on food sites, we just don't go back if bad. However, this was so gross, we have to warn people. Any positive reviews must be from owners or friends, etc. and are not being to be honest. The ginger beef was good, everything else was disgusting . There is a reason for so many negative reviews, paying customers. We look forward to a good take out and to get this, very disappointing!! It takes some pretty bad food for us to speak up. Honestly it's not great Chinese food. Very little meat, way too much onions- nothing special about thus place

Restaurent name is: Burrito Gordito
review: Burrito Gordito Legendary Tex-Mex is a small Mexican restaurant on Peter. It easy to miss this place as it\'s tucked away below street level, but please do not make the mistake of walking by.\n\nI kept it simple and grabbed a small burrito with spicy pulled pork for about $8. They call it small, but as is often the case with a burrito, they\'ll fit a lot of love into those pita walls. Like any self respecting man, I said yes to all of the toppings, which includes: rice, tomatoes, lettuce, green onion, refried beans, cilantro cheese, green pepper, and guacamole jalape\xc3\xb1os. It\'s generally hard to find a "bad" burrito so my expectations were rather neutral, but God damn did I like this burrito. Sure the ingredients appeared relatively fresh and the burrito was filling, but the superb refried beans, the spicy pulled pork, and the extra bit of hot sauce took me to a special place. Fair warning: they do not mess around with spicy here. If you ask for hot sauce, they\'ll give you Mexican attitude hot sauce, not North American tingle-your-tongue hot sauce. Fight through it though and appreciate a dynamite burrito.\n\nLastly, you should know that this a small place and that though there is some seating, you can maybe only fit five seated people in there. Again, it\'s small. Take your food and go. Had a small steak bowl the other day. They give you a generous portion of salad, guacamole and steak. I asked for extra spicy and it was indeed spicy. Will definitely come back if i am shopping around Queen west. I\'m ambivalent about this place. Every time I\'ve entered, I\'ve been greeted with a smile, eye contact and a friendly "hello". It\'s always a nice touch. But I went for a burrito today and was thoroughly disappointed. The steak was dry and pretty flavourless - it was definitely a sub-par burrito. Won\'t be back for a while, but I\'m trying not to give up on this place. Good burrito. Will go back. Just happend to find this place by luck. Small quaint little place. Burrito tasted great and was well stuffed with ingredients. Today, I used the last of 3 Groupons (I had to buy 3 for this offer) at Burrito Gordito. The burritos are quite good and large and thus filling. But during 2 of my 3 visits, the cashier (perhaps likely the owner) tried to short change me by giving me less change than I should have received, and today telling me my Groupon was worth less than the offer and that it was expired. Both were wrong and lies. Unfortunately, I find that many times when you use a Groupon, shop owners try to make back the discount they've given by shortchanging you or ripping you off somehow. I will no longer eat at Burrito Gordito!

Restaurent name is: Melange
review: This review applies to lunch only. This place has great atmosphere, but the food was inconsistent. I had a tandoori chicken wrap. The chicken itself was super great with a surprising hint of cardamom, but the rice in the wrap was underseasoned and could have used some sort of relish or condiment. Also the complementary bread seemed like it had been toasted to restore "freshness" rather than being fresh. The butter was ice cold to the point of being crunchy. The service was friendly enough but slow, I would guess it will take some time to iron out those kinks. I will give it another shot to see if they have improved in a few weeks. Akil, our waiter was great. The calamari - awesome. I loved my filet and the potatoes with it. My husband had a decadent rissotto dish. We both loved it! I agree with a number of the other reviewers in regards to MELANGE\'S atmosphere: I\'m generally not a fan of eateries with dark lighting, but they pull it off well. That\'s about all the points I can give them.\n\nI went there with a date for Valentine\'s Day, because they offered a holiday special on Facebook (3 courses for two for $29.99, inc. salad, main course of crab cakes, chicken parmesan, or lasagna, and dessert), which seemed great. My date also had a discount card for there which she was hoping to apply toward our meal. Not knowing how busy they would be, I agreed to call ahead to make reservations.\n\nI called several times during the course of the day on Valentine\'s Day and no one ever picked up. If you can\'t answer your phone, you must not be interested in potential business.\n\nWhen we arrived around 5:15pm, there was practically no one there, which surprised us. The music was up very loud, and was typical banal club fare. We took a booth, and were eventually waited on by the lone bartender. She was nice, but in short order we found out they didn\'t actually have their advertised V-Day special available (because "their food hadn\'t been delivered" for the day, but we could wait to see if that changed), we couldn\'t use our discount card because of the holiday (even though there was no one else there to speak of), their food menu was limited to bar munchies, and they only had three kinds of wine.\n\nLame.\n\nOne more quibble: the bartender kept running her hands through her hair, which was very long and dark. This may have just been a habit on her part, but I\'m particular about my food, and the thought of this person potentially serving my food after playing with her hair grossed me out. That\'s just a big no-no.\n\nWe ordered two drinks and and went to get actual food at CAFE MILANO, right down the street. With a host of choices in Downtown Pittsburgh, a number of which being right along Penn Avenue and less than a block from here, I doubt I\'ll try MELANGE again. Our first sign that this was a bad choice should have been the fact that in a place that seats around 100, we were the ONLY ones there. I read a very nice review of this place on Pittsburgh Live (http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/lifestyles/fooddrink/s_619820.html), but now am skeptical of the reviewers motives. The review made this place sound like it was a hip new addition to the Pittsburgh food scene, but really it's more like a not so hip new addition to the tired old ideas executed poorly scene (okay, that was lame). \n\nBut seriously, for the price and the hype, I was expecting a lot more. So let's begin with the decor. You walk in and things seem nice and posh. Dark lighting, classy tables and chairs...the works. But then you start looking at the art and it's of various sports? I get that we live in a sports centered city, but now I just think that Melange is a glorified sports bar, not a classy eatery. And if it's a sports bar, how can they justify charging ~$30-40/person? So perhaps they need to think about their identity a bit.\n\nNext, we move on to the service, which, for the most, part was okay, but given that we were the ONLY party in the restaurant, wasn't exactly stellar. Our waiter was very nice and made no substantial mistakes, but when I asked for a wine recommendation (they have three Malbecs...which I tend to love), he named something else all together (thinking that it was a Malbec) and then back peddled when he realized that I saw he was making it up as he went along. He recommended a good wine, but my experience is that those are all good, so really the credit does not go to him. Then, when our main dishes came out (4 of which were meat dishes) he forgot to bring our steak knives. Again, wouldn't have been a problem, but our butter knives were covered in...well...butter. So probably not a good idea to reuse them. Then, it turned out that they only had 2 clean steak knives in the entire place. Really? Again, keep in mind that we were the only people there and it was 7:30pm...not exactly right after opening. So yah, service was so-so.\n\nFinally, the pi\xc3\xa8ce de r\xc3\xa9sistance, the food (please note the sarcasm). A few us ordered the chili lime quesadillas (which sounded great...see photo), but the chef apparently forgot the chili and the lime. They were as bland as anything I've eaten in a long time. On to the main dish. I ordered pork tenderloin (see photo) which was actually not too bad. The sauce was sweet (I like that) and the meat was cooked just right. So, on that front, well done. But my girlfriend ordered the lamb (the most expensive dish on the menu) and it was completely boring...and a little cold. I usually love to pick at food on her plate, but this time I had no such inclination. Sorry love, but that one is all yours :-p\n\nSome of the other dishes were okay, but not great. A friend got the walnut salad and said it was tasty. Another friend got the wasabi popcorn and enjoyed it as well. So I can't say that ALL the food was bad, but the majority was. And for the price, not even close to being worth it.\n\nMelange needs to decide if they are a glorified sports bar, an upscale eatery, or just a passing fad. Regardless, as it stands, I can't see this restaurant surviving too long. Given that it's across the street from the PSO, I'd happily see this one go to be replaced by a restaurant that deserves the prime location. Meh, I'm really not impressed. I haven't eaten here yet....and I would give the food a try at some point. I just didn't have the best service when I've visited and that's oh so important to moi. \n\nI went for a quick stop in before the Pirates game. The Happy Hour special is actually really great with them offering $2 drafts. The service, however, left much to be desired. I'm pretty much blind and can never see the tap choices unless they're right in front of me. So I asked the bartender if he could let me know what was on tap. He started to name them off facing the opposite direction of me. I couldn't hear him to save my life, so I asked him to repeat it. He let out an exasperated sigh and repeated them while facing the opposite direction, AGAIN! I gave up and got the only drink I barely heard, the Blueberry Pilsner. It was ok, but I was frustrated, so I didn't really get what I wanted.\n\nI do love the front area of the space with the openness of the front windows for the summer months. Is it bad to want to try a place only for their decor? I shall be back to try the food, so I'm warning you Melange, don't disappoint me again!

Restaurent name is: Sushi D\xc3\xa9panneur
review: Been meaning to try this place out for sushi for a while now and I was pretty satisfied. You order by using their takeout menu (it's the same menu) and highlighting the sushi you want (this is great because you can take the menu to go after you eat so when you will want to order you already have a menu, also you can use the menu to re-order when you visit again). \n\nThis place has very limited seating but that's because it doubles as a mini grocery store with tons of japanese food, snacks, drinks, etc. It's a super adorable place though and it is worth trying to eat in if you can. \n\nThey start you off with a little salad and a tofu miso soup which are both delicious. We waited about 15 more minutes after for our sushi to arrive. You can also grab whichever drink you want from their fridge and they'll add it to your bill. \n\nOrdered the usual rolls that I like (avocado, salmon, sushi pizza) and everything was delicious I just don't think it was remarkable enough to warrant visiting often. Their quality was good but taste-wise some of their basic rolls I can get a AYCE sushi places and it's a better deal. The prices are very fair for what the quantity they give though so if going to an AYCE sushi place isn't possible, this is still good bet. fresh but slow service i was getting take out and i ordered 2 small things took forever. my ikura sushi wich tasted good but had a fishy smell, my spicy tuna cone was perfect very generous. since its a popular place im assuming the sushi must be fresh. will go back for sure. This was my first Montreal sushi experience-- being from Vancouver, I'm a harsh judge when it comes to sushi. \nThis place wasn't bad, it was like a cute little restaurant inside a convenience store. The choices were very very limited and were, in my honest opinion, all kind of the same thing.\nI had no idea that dynamite rolls were just a west coast thing; I asked and the waitress had no idea what I was talking about-- but they were more than willing to roll up a custom order which was nice.\nI also got to try my first ever sushi pizza. I had no idea that was a thing (Montreal/east coast thing?) but my goodness, it was yummy. \nIt was pretty pricey for the quality and lack of quantity; I think with my friend we spent about $65. But I can understand why seafood would be more expensive here.\nFinally, just a general thought about the Japanese places that I've researched about here. I'm very surprised that they only either offer just rolls/cones or just hot foods.. But not both. Maybe they offer both at the very expensive $300+ places?\nMaybe I'll have better luck in Verdun. Je n'ai jamais \xc3\xa9t\xc3\xa9 dans ce resto... toujours la livraison !!!! Et \xc3\xa7a vaut vraiment le coup ! \nLa fa\xc3\xa7on de couper les sashimis est juste parfaite, ces grandes tranches fines, c'est un r\xc3\xa9gal ! Me semble que le poisson est encore meilleur de cette fa\xc3\xa7on l\xc3\xa0. Ca vaut aussi le coup pour les makis de printemps. \nEn tout cas, c'est vraiment un super resto de sushis \xc3\xa0 livrer ! Et d'ailleurs... c'est l'heure des les appeler !!! :p Super clean and modern spot. You can pick up to go or eat on site. They give you a paper menu and a highlighter to pick out what you want, always helpful! Our order came with a salad and a miso soup. I got sushi wrapped in avocado, both delicious and picturesque. The sushi is rather large, so perhaps 2-3 orders per person max.\n\nThey also sell lots of fun Asian fair from exotic flavours of poke sticks to mochi ice cream.

Restaurent name is: Miu Garden
review: My husbands favourite place for dim sum because the price is right and he loves how they make their chicken feet. Because we come here so often for dim sum, the ladies who pushes the carts filled with hot steamy food would always recognize us. They would always say hi with a smile because that's just how often we go.\n\nNEW OWNERS\nThey have switched owners for quite some time. Not sure how many years it has been. The previous owners kept the restaurant classy where you order dim sum through paper. You'd always be guaranteed the dishes you want. However, the new owners uses the concept of food carts now. They have a hidden private room where people can sit inside where it's more quiet. The big con is, the food carts don't always make it to that room and people from the main room would have taken all the food already. You'd be waiting for a long time before food comes in. Not a good spot to eat. Just remember to eat in the main room - closer to the kitchen is best.\n\nPRICE\nThe cost of dim sum there is super affordable. Weekend price is still close to nothing compared to the fancy dim sum places.\n\nHYGIENE\nNot the cleanest place to eat. Because the restaurant is located inside the mall (Market Village), it feels very stuffy and oily inside. Theres no air circulation. The bathrooms are dead dirty and women would urinate in mid air so you'd see urine being sprayed all over the seat. They'd have the pushing cart ladies clean up the toilets. These are people who serves the food on your table. I sure hope they clean their hands after the cleaning!\n\nSTAFF\nI find that the owner doesn't care much for their staff. I'd always hear the cart ladies gossip and they'd be gossiping about other staff members. Their secret spot to gossip is in the private room. They definitely don't work well together as a team. I personally only like the hostess (2 ladies with short hair) and 1 pushing cart lady who has quite the humour. \n\nFOOD\nThe food tastes great. They serve the crab claws during dim sum. And noticed that the crab claw balls don't have the claws in them anymore. It's just a crab balls now.\n\nSuggestion:\n- Renovate the entire restaurant \n- New carpet\n- New chairs\n- Staff encouragement from owners; keep the place positive\n- Hire a janitor rather than using your waitress to clean the bathrooms I usually don't write a negative review. But this time if I can give zero stars I will. Food is cold, and any frozen dim sum I could buy from supermarket is way much better than their dim sum. I left after 10 minutes. On a nostalgic trip, I thought that I should come here for dim sum one more time before it goes for good. Located inside the soon to be demolished Market Village, this restaurant is now the sole surviving dimsum place since its competitor Ginger & Onion has closed shop.\n\nArriving 10 am on a weekday, I found the place to be almost full. Contrary to accounts of unfriendly servers, I found their service the same as you would find in other traditional dim sum places in the GTA. You have the choice to order off a paper order form or wait for carts to come around. As I wasn't sure how frequently the carts come around, I ordered off the paper form. About 25% of the dishes arrived lukewarm. I think it was because they took it off a cart without reheating it first, even if that cart had been out doing rounds already for a while. The other 75% of dishes which arrived hot were good. Portion sizes were ok. Prices are good - $2.50 per dish, from opening till 11 am. As a bonus, tea is free! Went for dim sum on a weekday. Prices per plate were $2.60. Not including special items. \n\nThey do have the carts rolling around but it's not your traditional dim sum items. It only contained fried items like taro rolls, spring rolls, soft tofu pudding, crab claws etc.\n\nYou would need to order steamed or rice items from the list they provide you. \n\nTea costs 0.60 cents per person as well.\n\nDim sum came out SUPER SLOW. And some dishes were not piping hot or fresh tasting as well.\n\nWe sat at the restaurant for over 2 hours waiting for 6 items on the list we choose. Of those 2 didn't come and we gave up and got the bill.\n\nI would personally not come here again. I did come a long time ago. Which by memory was definately a much better experience in terms of food quality. \n\nNow not so much. Maybe they do better for dinner service as it is still open. Food was terrible. Don't know how they are still in business. They even messed up lobster, the lobster meat was not fresh as it was mushy. We ordered 8 dishes and they were so carelessly prepared that I found small chopped bones in dishes that did not contain meat. I will not be returning and regret that they took my money!

Restaurent name is: Taco Bell
review: This is the slowest Taco Bell ever! I'm pretty sure the cashiers are all high. I was given about 25 hot sauce packets for 1 burrito. The owner of this Taco Bell should be ashamed. So excited to get this in this neighborhood and now I can't come back. I came in today as the drive thru takes 45 minutes to go thru no matter what. Unacceptable. I sadly regret wasting time and money at this Taco Bell. \nI went today May 2, 2017 @ about 7:50 pm. I ordered a 7 layer burrito with no rice. They forgot to put cheese in it. They only put 10 little pieces of lettuce, 9 pieces of chopped tomatoes. I am extremely disappointed. A definition of "a layer" needs to be explained. I have been ordering the 7 layer burrito for about a decade. Today\'s 7 layer burrito was the smallest one I have ever had. \nWe also ordered a taco-burrito and 2 burritos for the kids. I wanted to call them but their contact information is not updated on yelp.\n\nHow can I give them half a star? They are brave opening up in the hood. At this location they forget that loyal customers don\'t come to incompetent businesses. Everytime I come to this location their always getting my food wrong. I ordered a Gordita chicken supreme and they over charged me with a Cheesy Gordita crunch. I went back inside and said politely that this wasn't not what I ordered. Along with 2 cheesy bean and rice burritos. They only had 3 crew memebers and 1 manager working at this location last night. The only thing that I like about this location is that it's close by my home in walking distance. They need to hire more people to this location. Stop messing up my orders sheesh ! They gave me the messed up order to keep which I appreciated though. That let's me know that customers can get away with almost anything. This place is the worst for drive thru she literally told us she was on timer for us to hurry we could'nt even look at the menu and there wasnt even any cars behind us!!! No wonder they have no business there's still literally no cars ,we had to come to jack in the boxshe was such a BITCH!!! NEVER AGAIN... I guess their employees dont care to bring business to the company ... I say fire that bitch! I was on my way making a delivery for Postmates. It says the business hours are till 1am, and they had actually closed 15 minutes before hand. I stayed at the drive through waiting and no one came...as I proceeded to drive off the cashier was standing outside getting something from her car. I drove by and asked, "are you closing early tonight?" And she responded with its 1am... which now it was 10 minutes till. Then I told her it\'s not even time yet, and then she proceeded to lie that they ran out of meat?! This is ridiculous. I had to cancel my order and drove out for nothing. Whoever owns this specific franchise needs to keep a close eye on the workers since they are going home early.

Restaurent name is: Panda Express
review: Hot or miss food today got my order wrong and barely got any food so that always cool Terrible terrible. I\'m already not the biggest fan of panda over the years, but this makes it my official LAST attempt to like them. \n\nI ordered food from UberEATS, with about an hour before closing time. I immediately get a call saying "we don\'t have any more Beijing beef"....I said "ok, what do you have?".....she paused and said "that\'s fine we\'ll just make it for you." Ok cool that was nice of them. \n\nThen the food arrives. Nice and warm cuz it close by, but I\'m at work and did this to save time. Well I ordered 1/2 noodles 1/2 FRIED rice. Well...I got noodles, a lot of them, and a small scoop of WHITE rice. \n\nWell I said, "I\'ll just eat it, no big deal, at least it\'s warm".....until I did eat it. You know that rice,l that\'s been sitting in a pan too long...with no water...just heat...a lot of heat? Well that\'s what I got in that small scoop of incorrect rice. Not to mention hat small scoop was buried underneath all the noodle. So even the parts I did take out. Wasn\'t enough, and I still had those tough, crunchy, rice grains my whole meal. Thanks for being lazy guys\n\nNext time, if you don\'t have it, tell me you don\'t have it. Because I\'d rather be missing food that have disgusting food I LOVE Panda Express! I especially love that this one is within a mile from my home! everything on the menu is delicious, and i never can decide what to get. Only downside of this location is the drive thru wait time. there's been times where there may only be two cars ahead of me, and the wait can still be anywhere from 8-10 mins. Today's date, 4/20/18 at 4:15pm MST walk in. Tried the new Seared Steak and Shrimp, or should i say Seared steak with a shrimp on top? because it literally had one(1) shrimp on it! On these kind of entree, they usually charge a dollar or more, which is not a problem at all. but when they give you unequal servings, it's frustrating. i ordered string beans chicken a month ago, it literally had 3 tiny bits of chicken with bunch of onions and string beans. i didn't wrote a yelp review to give the restaurant another chance, but then it happened again. What I thought was going to be quick, took longer than expected. It was dinner time on a Thursday and I was pretty shocked at how busy they were. The girl working the front was in training so it was expected to take a little longer, so the wait was ok. There was a lady who was doing the serving for us indoor orders and man was she fast, like a machine. I don't usually do panda for Chinese, maybe once every 6 months but in the area I live in there aren't many spots to choose from. Its a clean spot with friendly employees. I did notice they had a fridge with freshly cut veggies that they use in their dishes and seen them grilling the teriyaki chicken. Being that it's busy you know your food is going to be fresh because nothing sits for too long.

Restaurent name is: The Barrymore
review: Had a really nice time at this restaurant. A definite hidden gem! Small, intimate dining room with lots of character. I highly recommend the rock shrimp carbonara, dry aged filet and Brussels sprouts. We will be back. Don\'t let the hotel that it\'s in, fool you! The hotel (I don\'t even remember the name) looks like a book-by-the-hour hotel and I was afraid I was in the wrong spot. However, once you step into the Barrymore, you are transformed into a swanky, 1960\'s Mad Menish, restaurant. They really should move to a hotel that fits its class and style.\n\nI made reservations for 7:30 PM in order to give my friends and I ample time for a nearby 9:30 show. However, we weren\'t seated until 8:10. The hostess profusely apologized and the manager even came to our table and offered us a free appetizer. We all looked at the menu for 10 seconds, not sure what appetizer to get, but he said "Don\'t worry. I\'ll take care of you." 10 minutes later, THREE appetizers came out and they were all delicious. We got the roasted artichoke, roasted heirloom beets, and the lobster mac and cheese (MUST HAVE if you like mac and cheese). Maybe I should come here more often and pray that there is a delay just to get free appetizers. \n\nAs for our entrees, all three of my friends had great dishes (sorry forgot what they ordered) but my Diver Scallop entree tasted as if the chef accidentally dropped a bottle of salt into my dish. I made my friends try it, just to make sure I wasn\'t being overly critical, and one of my friends actually spit it out because it was too salty. I wanted to return the dish, but we were already running late and I didn\'t want to cause more trouble! I\'m not sure if that\'s how the dish is supposed to taste, but if it is, it\'s waay too salty for me and my friends. \n\nOverall, the manager is great, the atmosphere is sexy and posh, and the food is generally tasty. Came here for my husband's 32nd birthday tonight. The server (Emily) was fantastic. So was the bartender. My husband said that his steak melted in his mouth. This is a great place hidden in an unassuming hotel. It's a nice break from the strip without being too far. A hidden gem, if you will. We'd definitely be back! This was a pretty good dining experience in general. The steak was excellent and flavorful (filet mignon). The one problem is my husband and my ($7 each) baked potatoes seemed rotten/stale and weren't very good. The presentation of the food was all great. The drinks were very pretty and nice concoctions. Our server was attention and friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and they treated us great. Everyone in our group was happy with their meal and experience overall. I wish it was not located in the hotel it is located in. One of, if not the best place to get steak and more. The service is outstanding and friendly. I love the the decor of the restaurant. If anyone has anything bad to say about this place they are completely stupid. I mean if they had bad service in the server that may be possible. But I've yet to experience that. But if anyone says anything bad about the food. They either have bad taste or just completely brain dead. This is definitely a hidden gem in Las Vegas. The food is just as good if not better than most of the steak houses in Las Vegas on the strip. If you want to place that is nice, friendly, fast service, and a reasonable price for Las Vegas this is a place for you.

Restaurent name is: Cafe Pleiade
review: I can't believe nobody's reviewed this yet. It's been around forever and is awesome, from what I've been told. Do the young'uns see it as an old people hangout? That would be very sad.\n\nAmbience: small and colourful without being tacky. It's a teeny tiny place with walls covered in art, some original and some prints, and all classic European style stuff. The booth seating is lined with pillows and there's a cubby table in the front window if you like to peoplewatch.\n\nService: friendly and warm. Seems to be operated by ma-and-pa. Not super quick service, so don't go here for a fast business lunch. Go to sit and relax for a few hours and linger over your food. The only problem I had was that some of my coffee creamers had gone off. I mentioned it to the lady and she replaced it fast. (Hint: if you see a coffee creamer that is sealed but has dented-in sides, don't use it. I've just figured this out.)\n\nFood: very tasty and straightforward. Sandwiches, frittata, pasta, etc. The french fries come in small portions but are battered and are the tastiest thing I've had in a while. Dessert comes in huge slices and I suspect some of the cakes are made in-house rather than brought in.\n\nThis is a nice, quiet, not-at-all-boring place to have a meal and hang out with friends. Sadly not accessible because the washrooms are in the basement. Very Small - Came in right before the close at 3 pm before they prepped for dinner - the chef's wife I assume co-owner talked to me about the menu - everything is made from fresh ingredients completely from scratch. You can see in the kitchen, which was very clean. I ordered spaghetti with Italian sausage - mild - it had a rustic sauce - chunks of tomato, spinach, whole sausage cut into slices. and fresh mozzarella cheese (Cheese was out of this world) the combination of all components = the perfect bite. It was served with the softest Italian bread - she offered me more bread after I was almost done. They were talking about how businesses like theirs was being killed off by corporations that use processed food - (I agree with that, always support the one of a kinds) It over all was like having a meal in Italy with friends and family. I'd suggest giving them a try. I felt like I had to leave a review in support. I dined at Cafe Pleiade during Summerlicious this year. It was one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in years. Our appetizers took 45 minutes to arrive, our main course arrived another 45 minutes later. This was even more surprising as they were exclusively serving the set Summerlicous menu, which only had three menu options. The staff was completely useless and offered no explanations for the ridiculous wait. The food was mediocre. Will not be returning. My family made reservations for Winterlicious at this establishment. When I walked in I was greeted by a short, bespectacled woman dressed in all-white with a look akin to surprise, blended with confusion, on her face. I told her we had a reservation, she asked under what name, I told her, she asked how many people, I told her; seemingly satisfied that I had provided her with the right information she abruptly turned around and said \'this way\'. The other 3 people in our party sat down and I went directly to the washroom, which is through a grey metal industrial door. I swung the door open and it slammed shut unexpectedly quickly, whacking me on my bottom and nearly sending me plummeting to an inglorious death at the bottom of a steep set of stairs covered in thoroughly worn out, 80\'s you-know-what-I\'m-talking-about dark blue carpet. Oh, and the basement is for hobbits only, I think the ceiling must be at most 6\' high, but to give them credit the washroom was clean. (The rest of the night every time somebody went down there I kept an ear open, sure I was going to hear a blood-curdling scream eventually.......) I came back up to find a bowl of oil & vinegar dip on the table but no bread. The same efficient, unsmiling lady came to take our dinner orders; it appeared she was the only one attending to all 10 tables in the tiny place. After she took our orders (that she seemed to write down grudgingly) we asked about getting some bread; her response was \'next step\' as if to say \'keep your shirt on it\'s coming\'. The bread was pleasantly soft and fresh. Our appetizers were pretty good: the mussels with ouzo were original and the lentil & spinach soup was not bad. The "Carpaccio of Roast Root Vegetables" had a nice squash mash. The main dishes were so-so; the braised beef was very dry but the baked trout was good. The carrot cake was very tasty and the bread pudding and berry pie were pretty good, too. Service overall was relatively slow but still pretty decent considering there was only one server and one chef cooking everything. The decor is cozy but dated and it isn\'t pleasant if you sit facing the open kitchen.\n\nAnd yes, it is an old people hangout, everyone there was a senior citizen.\n\nSo if you\'re in the mood for the ministrations of a German nurse, average quality food and a brush with death, this is your place! \n(Me, I won\'t be going back!) This is a great restaurant. The food is superb, and the prices reasonable. We have never been disappointed. Despite the comments about seniors noted in other reviews, Caf\xc3\xa9 Pleiade attracts people of all ages. This restaurant is an institution on Mt Pleasant and has been serving excellent meals for years. If you are looking for a hidden gem frequented by locals, this is the place.\nIncidentally, the interesting art on the walls comes from the owners collection. She is the server, so ask her about the pieces.

Restaurent name is: Arizona Tacos
review: This truck is over priced and has a lot of learning to do.. the "adobada" looks like carne asada.. and the carne asada looks like ground beef. Id rather go to taco bell. #truth The food looked good but probably will not be returning. There was only meat and guacamole and there was way more guacamole than meat. I've known authentic carne asada burritos have more ingredients inside the burrito instead of just meat and guac. The meat was a little bland and got it of fat chewy parts in the meat... it was just plain. The best Nachos I have had in a while. Owner was very nice, great guy. Great quality food. Got the food quickly. Will definitely be back for more. Tried the carne asada and pollo tacos and both were delicious! Service was great and everything was reasonably priced. Cokes and water were only $1!!! Wow I have to say that I am fully upset that we waited in line for 40 mins and then waited another 30 to get this food! They should be ashamed. If you are searching for food truck for a special event, look for something else.

Restaurent name is: Vita Urbana
review: Area is definitely cool. That said- service needs to improve. Seriously, quit trying to be a French bistro be a neighborhood hot spot. Comfort food that changes and remains the same. Soup. Get a refrigerated case with Mac & Chz. Maybe a salad. Turkey Sammie, salad, soup. Be careful! You might walk past this interesting addition to Battery Park. An interesting mix of a apartment building cafe, intimate restaurant and neighborhood artisan market, Vita Urbana might be a jack-of-all trades type of thing. While the pork confit mac and cheese looked appetizing on paper, it really didn't come through. The cheese was flavorless and the pork was just there. The cookies and hot chocolate dessert certainly was presented well, but it wasn't enough to make up for the mac and cheese. The truffle frites were good! They are a nice shareable portion size too. If you are looking to impress your date...this would be the place to be. Driving to the place you are definitely scared but once you notice you can have dimmed lit dinner and after a stroll out to the tunnel onto the beach...well let's just say...you are not going home alone!\n\nP.s. \nLeave a blanket in the trunk;) I recommend this place to everyone. I ran by Vita Urbana (literally) while I jogging to down to Edgewater Beach. Coffee shop/bar place attached to an apartment building? Was this exclusively for those apartment dwellers? I was so enticed, I biked over first thing the very next day. It's got a urban-modern chic feel. I felt little underdressed in sweaty bike cloths, but the woman who was chatting with us and the other staff made me feel at ease with their down to earth vibes. Not only do they serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner (along with a full bar), they have a little convenient shop in the back with all the necessities you might need. \n\nI ordered a latte and baked blueberry oatmeal, and my boyfriend got a black coffee and breakfast empanadas... and a Bloody Mary for a mid-day pick me up. They serve local coffee & brew it with care. The food was obviously made from scratch, which equals made with love- Everything was delicious. It was very reasonable lay priced too! During a weekday morning, there were a few other tables, a family headed to the beach, business people working on laptops... it is a place welcome to all. I'll for sure be back there for dinner soon. Mac and cheese is really Mac and vinegar with with rubber chicken in water. Absolutely disgusting. Inedible.

Restaurent name is: Panda Express
review: I visit this location frequently as I work nearby. Usually this location keeps cleanliness top of mind. Today however, there was a new face working the cash register. The individuals name was Manuel. I was extremely bothered that Manuel was sneezing without covering his face. This happened several times while I was in line. As I got closer to the register I noticed Manuel was not using the ice scoop and was simply dipping the wax covered cups into the ice. Very unsanitary. Not real Chinese food but pretty good price, beware of a fake begger there in that area asking for money, I offer him food in panda express but got refused, one hour later he was still there begging for money from other people great n frendly service..fresh food just coked in front of you what else can you ask . cream cheese ragoons arly good I ordered one meal and 2 drinks ($13, no fortune cookie included) then a side of broccoli (no beef) and they charged $4.45 for a small side of broccoli. Rip off. After a couple hours of shopping at this mall with my father and husband, we grabbed a quick dinner at Panda. They served us food, we went to sit down and the mall security came up to us and said "you need to clear the area". We asked which area we could sit at to eat. He said "al of it". There were a lot of other people eating and he did not tell them to leave, Panda never told us we could not "dine in" - So - we told him how RUDE he was and had to sit outside at the little tables to eat our dinner. It was not very good, old food. No where to clean up, so we left everything there at the table and left. We can shop and eat elsewhere.

Restaurent name is: Ramiros Mexican Restaurant
review: My kids love this place for all day, huge breakfast burritos. Great prices. Friendly staff. I\'ve been back a few times purely out of geographical desperation. The food is pretty bad all around. My last burrito I couldn\'t finish half of. The tortilla was all chewy and the the ingredients were no bueno. \n\nThe big girl at the front has the customer service skills of a thimble. \n\nIf I was a smart man I would open a taco shop within a 3 mile radius of this place and charge the people nearby that love this place camineros and top shelf 10 bucks for 3 bomb tacos and put all these whack "Mexican" joints out of business. I'm a pretty picky eater so it took me a while to give this place a try after driving by it so often and I'm glad I did! I only really get one thing every time; the super nachos. I didn't like guacamole until I had theirs which I am nearly 100% sure they make it fresh due to finding huge chunks on an avocado a few times. When I was on a low carb diet they were very accommodating by allowing me to get it without chips. Chorizo burrito was great especially with potatoes in it but Hunny said bacon one was just okay. I love green salsa and theirs is very good. Price is good for the size of burrito as they are somewhat large and are very filling. \n\nBonus is they are wrapped tight and right-you can eat them in the car as you head out to ride ATVs or go to lake on the weekend or ... speed to work weekdays. ;) I've eaten here so many times and never once gotten cold or bad tasting food, so I am really stymied at some of the reviews.\nRegardless, I usually get their carne asada quesadilla which is superb--but so huge that I have them cut it into 4 parts. I eat this over a couple days! And it is tasty and wonderful, too.\nIf you go inside you can find fresh veggies in brine, lemon slices and other condiments usually eaten with Mexican food, but I have been using the drive thru lately as I am always in a hurry to get home.\nLove this place! It is my favorite Mexican drive-thru in Phoenix, and I have eaten at another on 43rd Ave. and Bell which was just as good. And never had much of a wait either.\nCounter help is friendly and helpful always, too.

Restaurent name is: Double Down Pizza
review: Got some double down delivered earlier for the cowboys game..got a large pep and some buffalo wings\nHad em fry the wings for me they were great and the pizza was perfect\nIll definately be gettin some every sunday This is a great find. Excellent pizza, nachos, and sandwiches. Fast delivery and the food is consistently good. One of my favorite pizza places. I went into this quaint little spot yesterday and was happy to see an on-site owner. Debra was very friendly and welcoming as she told me about the lunch special; a mini pizza with 1 topping and a drink for less than $7. The pizza was quite good, hot and freshly made. I will be back! Pizza here is LEGIT.\nI ordered a Royal Pizza it's super good the crust is perfectly done and the sauce is so tasty. Yes for this Pizza Restaurant Amazing pizza and service. One of my favorite spots to eat now. Highly recommend you get the wing and pizza combo and the brownie for desert. Ignore all the previous bad reviews here, its under new ownership and they take care of you right.

Restaurent name is: Jioio's Restaurant
review: I grew up in New York. I grew up on Pizza! I know what good Italian food is.\nThis is not it.\nSauce is watery.\nPizza crust has sugar in it. I asked. They admitted it.\nEnough said. I ordered lasagna and table mates ordered crabcake, chicken parm, and pasta. I find the pasta dishes to be average but not special. Crabcake was much the same. Service was slow especially when waiting for our check. The spaghetti sauce at this place is also sweeter, like many have described the pizza sauce. I will be honest and say I don\'t prefer my sauce so sweet. It is also loaded with garlic. If you like a sweeter sauce with more garlic and not so many herbs then this is your place. Funny thing is, this sauce reminds me of several other places in the area. Do they have the same recipe or just use the same basic food service sauce doctored up. No one at the table was blown away by their food but everyone thought it was ok. One interesting thing to note is that they have the letter "N" in their sign backwards. Do they know? This is another incarnation of the Jioio's in Latrobe - http://www.yelp.com/biz/jioios-restaurant-latrobe - with my absolute favorite pizza. I could eat it all day - and if you live far away like me, remember that the party pizza is cheaper than 2 larges, and reheats well in the oven. I love the signature Jioios sauces... but this location is the worst. The portions are small, the beer is ridiculous (4.25 for a miller lite?). The pizza is even light on the cheeze.\n\nThe Jioios in Carbon/Greensburg has this place beat hands down. Great Italian food at reasonable prices, but beware if you don't like a sweet sauce, you won't like theirs. Jioios uses a sweeter sauce than most and the result is a less tart taste. The pizza is a thin crust with the sweet sauce and just the right amount of topping, though its not a crispy crust.\nTheir salads are huge and too much for a lunch but great for dinner.\nAll in all this is probably the best place to eat along that stretch of 30 for a few miles.

Restaurent name is: O-my Sushi
review: The waitress was friendly but the service was still slow. The only good experiences I've had here were under the previous name when no one else was in the restaurant. Not worth coming here when there are other better places in the valley. Big menu. Lots of rolls to choose from for AYCE. \n\nI was a little taken back that they wanted to charge $13 for my 3 year old. So, we ordered him a la carte instead. \n\nService was slow. They need more help. It was a busy Saturday night and our server was overwhelmed. \n\nNothing special to report. Everything was tasty. I'd go back if I was hungry for sushi and in the area. I decided to give this place a try because I happen to be in this area of town... I was very disappointed! Service was not good...Even though we were seated immediately, we had too long of a wait...before our order was taken. They were a little busy, but it wasn't a full house.\n\nBottom line, the two waitresses didn't appear to know what the other was doing. They were trying...but sadly they were unorganized. I did the AYCE sushi, plenty of choices, but for me personally nothing I had stood out as far as taste. In addition I thought the portions were a little small...\n\nThe slow service & having to continually have to ask for something...made it a poor experience. Unfortunately, nothing special that would make me want to return... Honestly some really good sushi. Especially in the area where the prices are all really close, the quality stands out. The chef Choi was very friendly and definitely added to the atmosphere. I will definitely be coming back soon. Stopped in for the first time for lunch today. Great Poke Bowl!! Reasonable price, nice atmosphere, good selection of japanese food. Highly recommend. Next time I'll try their all you can eat dinner.

Restaurent name is: Pizza Pizza
review: They delivered a pizza with pepperoni on it in error to a Muslim household. When called to complain. Transferred to customer service and was offered a replacement pizza "as a courtesy". Had to wait another 40 min! So finally the delivery kid gets back with the correct pizza and says his boss wants the original pizza back (because he assumes we are lying and said there\'s no way "as a Muslim himself, he could make the mistake"). I told the delivery guy that we threw out the pizza because the person in customer service manger said food cannot be returned as per their policy and told me to throw it out. \n\nHe said that\'s incorrect and his boss definitely wants it pizza back. So we fetched it out of the garbage. Rather than offering an apology, the owner was upset! Ridiculous. We ordered three topping pizza, buffalo chicken,bell peppers ad red onions. Like always, the pizza had no taste, though i asked for a thin crust. There is a flavor missing. They use some special cheese that doesn't stick to the pizza and falls here and there. After the pizza is ready, they don't bother to call out the No. we have to keep asking. \n\nFor me pizza from pizza pizza is a big NO but the potato wedges are really good. Crispy and tasty. The ordering was quick. The guy behind the counter was cheerful and prompt. \n\nThe location was clean, however on a very cold day the heating was not working. It was cold inside. No matter how much the oven was working it wasn't enough to warm the store. \n\nThe pizzas baked well and the toppings topped generously. Terrible service, Filthy washrooms.. Paid for my order, was told it takes 20 minutes, returned 30 minutes to pickup my order. Gave my receipt to the cashier lady, she walked away without saying anything. Waited patiently for 20 more minutes, asked for my order, the lady asked for my receipt. After telling her that she took it and telling them what my order was, they told me it had been ready for a while... Well, I'm never going back to any Pizza Pizza.\nIs not the first time I've had a bad experience at pizza pizza(s). Have always ordered my pizza from this pizza pizza location. Have always been pleased with the way they make their pizza. I particularly like their crust because it's very nice and crunch from the bottom and fluffy in the middle. Not very greasy. They have a good sitting area inside the restaurant.

Restaurent name is: Shishalicious Cafe
review: Too loud, too busy, too dirty!\nThe place is big in size, so you would have a better experience on a week day where it isn't too busy.\nBut man oh man, is it a jungle on the weekends! The place is way overcrowded, with ppl lining up, chairs are rubbing against each other, with too many clouds of smoke!\nOn top of all this, they bring in live belly dancers on weekend nights, poor thing skips and maneuvers between tables.\nShisha and food are both about average, service is okay on weekdays, but weekends are tough to get anything, although they always seem to be well staffed, but they can't catch up..\nIt's a choice, but there a lot of better organized options in that area. food was decent but had to ask four times before getting a simple hummus.... skip out on the orange fruit head, ended up killing our shisha way too early! \n\nif you're looking for a decent atmosphere with rough service but good vanilla shisha this is your spot Love the personal attention I get here. My favourite's the double apple on orange head, and the hearty serving of Phili steak sandwich. Have never been disappointed with a visit yet! It's my goto place for chilling out. What a weekend this is turning out to be. You can spend hours without getting bored, making smoke rings. The mood and atmosphere here is Perfect. Although I'm not into Arabic music, I guess it's part of the authentic experience. Plenty of space, without the typical stuffy sheesha smoke feeling from others. There's an outdoor patio, but I was never a fan of that. If you want to play cards, chess or that Arabic board game- all you need do is ask for it. There's also bamyan and burger factory in the same plaza, if you want to eat something like that after. But I always like ordering here, with the sheesha.\n\nThey have some fancy flavours like vanilla and what not, but I'm a man of habit. \n\nIt's a new place and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone in Mississauga who's out with friends, a special someone or just wants some solo chilling out.\n\nHere's my secret smoke ring technique: when you exhale, just say the alphabet 'O' and you'll be making rings in no time. Happy showing off! New joint in the area so I got my friends to come and chill there. Very open and nice environment. Waiter took our order. About 10 minutes later we get the shisha, then about half hour later we get our drinks, and not until we asked about 3 times regarding our food order we got it (took about 1hr). Also they auto - tip themselves as seen in the bill, on top of that during payment it asks if you would like to tip which I find really irritating considering how bad their service was. I argued a bit regarding the issue, in the end the cashier took off $6...(whole bill was about $94 in total)\n\nFood was alright\nShisha was very expensive compared to other places\nService could be way better\nThey auto - tip (written on bill)\nNot recommended for University students unless your dad is Bill Gates Might be a bit long. But worth reading. \n\nThe only reason I gave this place is a 1 star because I truly believe customer service comes before anything. I have been coming to this lounge for nearly 8 months now. However my last visit was the worst experience I\'ve ever had within the restaurant business. \nI had guests over from overseas that had a layover in Toronto for a few hours. Took them to downtown showed them the sights. And 2 hours before the flight I thought I\'d take them to my spot, shishalicious. They weren\'t really interested in smoking but I told them they serve food and drinks as well. Got there, one of the guys got us a nice spot to sit. And while going to the spot assigned the manager comes yelling asking me what I was doing. I calmly told him one of your guys had told us to take a seat here. He stares dead into my eyes walks up close to me as if he was gonna start a fight. Tells me " buddy I\'m the manager no one is allowed to sit until I say so". He kept implying as if I was lying. So I see the guy who I initially met walking out of the kitchen and I point out to the manager he\'s the one who got us these seats. He went running to the guy and started confirming if what I had said was true. During his 2 min conversation with his guy he kept point his finger at me very aggressively. And right then I should\'ve know to get out of the restaurant. But mind you, the guests were standing right next to me and were observing the whole drama going on. So his guy walks up to us and takes us to the table. And I could tell the manager was still staring at us. As soon as we place an order to the guy which summed up to around $50 the guy said my manager instructed me to take A MINIMUM ORDER OF $100 from you. \n3 PEOPLE,, $100. \nThe shitshow went on for about 10 minutes and then asked us to leave. I was so embarrassed. I kept emphasizing the fact that I have guests with me. Don\'t do this to me. They showed no mercy and asked us to empty the chairs. Everyone was starring at us while walking out. As I was leaving the staff including the manager had the biggest smirks on their faces. \n\nYou guys probably thinking but why would he do that?\nOnly one reason. \nBecause I proved the manager wrong. He was so confident that I was bullshiting my way through just trying to get a place to sit. \nAnd as soon as I pointed toward the guy who got us the seats and he told him that yes indeed it was him who told us to sit there, any 10 year old could tell by looking at his facial expression that he was feeling like he had lost all his fortune just by being wrong. \nVery funny though. The many times I came in with by boys and girl friends, never had a problem. They\'d be happy to get us a seat. The one time I come in with an older and simple couple, this is what I run into. \n\nNever going back here ever again. Made sure non of my friends do either. \n\nYou guys just lost 25-30 frequent clients. \n\n\n\nReally hope this helps \nThanks for reading.
