Went with high hopes. Waited for 45 + mins and then one server comes and says they are out of veggies for veggie fajita. Wife and kids are frustrated. They bring a mushroom tacos. Then the manager gets frustrated and he brings two cheese quesadillas with arrogance ! We said please don't waste food. He is arrogant and says take it take it and leaves ...
Way to spoil a nice weekend break.. a run to chipotle would have been better | 0negative

We get our saturday dinner from there at least 3 times a month...big boy Steve is doing gis thing... Go check him out... | 2positive

My husband and I made a last minute decision to stay in New Orleans on our way back from Florida and found this gem online. Spontaneous stops such as this are not uncommon for my family and I and we're always looking for unique and "off the beaten path" haunts to eat and hang out. This spot did not disappoint! The interior was very cool though they're new and still making some improvements and the staff was very accommodating and nice. We'll be back! | 2positive

Amazing. I would have left happy if it was just decent, since I haven't had much Colombian food since leaving Miami. We shared the arepa sampler and the bandeja paisa, and everything was just right. Cooked just right and seasoned perfectly. | 2positive

Umami Umami is a much needed Japanese restaurant in the area. The food is all handmade and delicious! I love the lunch specials and my favorite roll is the boom boom. The staff is friendly and helpful...it's no wonder I go back almost every week with my family! | 2positive

Context: I have a heightened sensitivity to a restaurant level of customer service and food quality since I'm an IT Consultant. Oh ... and I never feel like my experiences warrant a Yelp review - but I'm compelled to do so right now.
That being said - the cook is rude and yelled at the bartender. He messed up two orders that I know of (wrong topping the first go around for mine and then he didn't cook the right pizza long enough and it was doughy and he didn't do right toppings for a neighboring table). I ordered a salad and the bartender ended up making it for me - super tiny I might add.
Over all I feel negative energy in the air and an overall impression of bad management at this place. The place isn't even busy - but I've seen uber drivers waiting for orders that people have ordered here back in early Feb - and they say around for 30 minutes at lease.
I really think someone needs to get their sh!t together. | 0negative

My rating would have been a "4", but our waiter was not at all attentive.
It was lucky my friends and I were so engrossed in our conversation, otherwise we would have been mad that our drinks took over 20 minutes to make it to our table or that our waiter never came back with an item we requested. Our waiter's rating = "1.5". Not at all impressed.
The hostess and the bus boy were extremely pleasant and helpful. They receive a "5".
The wine was good, the cocktails were strong, and the food was average. We only had the bruschetta and summer roll, so I have no idea how the other items measure up.
I won't be frequenting this spot, but I am also not opposed to going back.
Recommend. Nice wine bar. Worth stopping by if you are in the Lutz area and looking for some vino and nosh. | 1neutral

There's no arguing the food is fabulous. However, on the last visit, we had a Groupon and felt like we were trash for using it.
We had a party of four for my husband's 60th birthday a year or so before and had wonderful service and food and the bill was larger than my mortgage payment due to the wine and alcohol we had.
When we returned a few visits later with the Groupon, we were stuck in a corner, had a waitress who acted like we were impinging on her time, and when there was a little problem with our order, had the manager return with the correct item and practically sling at our table as he walked by. We weren't even asked if we wanted dessert.
We will never return after this experience and I am aghast they even still offer the Groupons; I keep getting emails about this offering and I wouldn't go back if it was free. Really such a shame. | 1neutral

Best Mexican food - I see why there was a line forming after we sat down. A few tables for seating. I had the Adobada and fish taco with rice and beans - DELICIOUS. We also order the Carnitas burrito - pork had so much flavor with a Chicharones Con Chile taco. Love the smokey hot salsa - a must stop to have authentic Mexican food if you are in Santa Barbara. It's just off the freeway in a residential area off the beaten path. Friendly staff as well. | 2positive

Full disclosure: I've only eaten here during the weekend buffet that they do (I think that this is actually Friday-Sunday, either out of a misunderstanding of the concept of a weekend or as part of a conscious effort to defy it) because home is the southerly parts of Pinellas and, given the existence of thirty-some miles of miscellaneous urban nonsense between where I am and where they are (I need to take three interstates to get here, each more stultifying than the last), it might as well be in one of the Dakotas, or else some forbidding slope in Kamchatka, where the wolves howl and the night does not end. Thus, I've never been here for a normal meal and ordered a normal item off the menu like a normal person. But I've been to the buffet many times, since the place is right across the street (or *almost* just across the street) from Lettuce Lake Park, a lovely place to wander and gawp at the alligators and weird birds for the princely sum of $2.
Utterly full disclosure: If I have any tiny trace of blood from the Indian subcontinent, it's been so diluted and diffused by generation upon generation of angry people who make angry-looking buildings that it probably now couldn't fill a grasshopper's coffee mug, and I'm pretty sure that I've never been within three thousand miles of Delhi. So I have no claim to judge what constitutes authentic Indian food of any stripe, and anyone who does should feel free to snort contemptuously and consign this review to whatever part of their brain they use to store voicemails about extending their car warranty or the phone books that regularly land in their yards and absorb rain and reclaimed water until they're a soupy mess.
But, even given the above caveats, this very well might be the best Indian restaurant I've ever visited. I've had a long and checkered career of visiting Indian restaurants, from the dismal downtown buffet where you eat too much chicken tikka for no discernible reason (it does not spark joy or create satisfaction, but still you keep eating it) and enter a state of such profound drowsiness that you immediately understand that you will never get anything important done for the rest of the day, to the smalltown restaurant putting on airs with white tablecloths and silver where the most complex item on the menu is saag paneer, to the grotesque and misbegotten Midwestern late-Fifties steadily-collapsing concrete-and-sheet-metal monstrosity where beef vindaloo (???) is on the menu and the servers mispronounce the names of dishes with the insouciant confidence of the utterly damned. So, whatever mitigating factors might be in place, I stand by my pronouncement.
The buffet, and the menu in general (which, again, I haven't sampled at length, but have browsed) seem to make reluctant concessions to American taste, offering some of the usual suspects (butter chicken, tikka masala, whatever vindaloo), but seem to be mostly interested in going beyond that. The weekend buffet reliably has goat curry, which is wonderful (and spicy!) and not something that is regularly included in the genre, and the chili chicken (which is usually interpreted as some soupy, sticky variant on Chinese food, as per its origins) is a sort of dry, fried, spice-encrusted dish, gloriously addictive. And many dishes whose names are unfamiliar to me--a sort of rice pudding, but not the kheer that is easily found at every five-and-dime buffet across the nation, instead a complex, spicy concoction with caraway and green chile, or a set of fritters (labeled "baby corn," though I'm not at all sure that's what they were) that become transcendent when dipped in one of the array of lovely sauces that they provide. And it's actually spicy, or, rather, many dishes are (the butter chicken is still, predictably, bland and inoffensive), which is damn near impossible to find in an Indian restaurant around these parts--even some of the buffet items have a decent bite. And the little (free!) cups of chai that they provide--strong, but not too sweet, not like the milky sugared-up lattes that you get at Starbucks. And this, and that, and more. Yes, it's slightly spendy (currently around $15 for the buffet), but you don't eat here every day and, perhaps, like me, you've driven for a while to be here, in a weird abandoned parking lot adjacent to a Holiday Inn Express adjacent to a huge tech park... so it's probably worth it.
But if you've just skipped to the end, here, in hopes of discovering whether this restaurant is good and whether you should eat here, the answer is, definitely, yes and yes. If you are even remotely intrigued by Indian food, and if you do not shrink from the notion of capsaicin-laced food as if it were the machinations of the devil himself, you owe it to yourself to visit this place. Yes, it's in the parking lot of a hotel, and it's tiny, and you don't know where you are or what's what (welcome to Florida). Just go in and eat the goat curry, you weirdo. | 2positive

My wife and I stopped in for lunch, and we each ordered a meatball hero with a salad. It's a bad sign when the salad is the best part of the meal, and the salad was watery. I'm still trying to figure out how anyone can mess up a meatball hero! The roll was not toasted, and the meatballs were cut into slices. The sauce was... odd. Not exactly bitter, but it certainly wasn't good. So, it was more of a soggy bread sandwich with sliced meat and cheese, and a side of under-done french fries. | 0negative

What an experience. Went here after the ramen place next door was closed and it didn't disappoint. I ordered a Papusa and a tostada and the flavor was divine. Not only the best street food Mexican I've ever had, but one of the best meal experiences in recent memory. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area, and really easy to order too. | 2positive

This creole/southern place is great. The mac n cheese was some of the best I've had in the city--it tasted sharp and flavorful and was creamy with a breadcrumb sprinkling on the top. The pulled bork (vinegar based sauce. authentic and delish) was also a stand out on some sort of heavenly brioch-ish roll.
But, most importantly: BACON GREASE POPCORN!!! It is smoky and has cajun seasoning for a little heat as well. Yes, it is unhealthy.... But just go for it and don't look back (and use one of the wet-naps they put on your table for bbq orders to deglaze your hands). Pure heaven. I will be back just for this and drinks.
Don't come here expecting something light to eat (though my spinach salad was good) but do expect great food and a good tap list. | 2positive

This place has the best white mochas!!! Fantastic atmosphere with delicious food - love all their baked goods, especially their cakes! | 2positive

You can sit at the bar area and order or wait to be seated by a hostess. We opted for a table by the window. Got seated right away. Mila our server was great! And everything we ordered was to our liking! Enjoyed our dinner here. You also get a complimentary bread basket while waiting for your food. | 2positive

This food is no different than what you pick up in a box at the grocery store. Clearly not even remotely close to authentic Mexican food. In simpler words, even Chipotle does a better job with their fresh food. This place literally ran out of rice and substituted our rice with never asking us or even giving us an option to substitute. The little rice we got was clearly from the bottom of the barrel-very dry WHAT MEXICAN RESTAURANT RUNS OUT OF RICE??? Service was very lame and delayed. Wasn't sure why the table next to us got their sampler and meals before us after we ordered 15 min prior to them even arriving. Id like to repeat, you can get the same meal at the grocery store for a fraction of the cost. Nothing special about this place. I think they cater more to those that are looking for a step up from Taco Bell. Will never return. | 0negative

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants. Over time, it became a shit show. I've seen bugs in the bread one time my bread even had leftover sauce on it like they were re using or something. I've given this restaurant so many chances but the food isn't worth the experience I get. The service is amazing but not worth the food. Very disappointed and I'd rather go to Bella's in south tampa, great food and actually authentic Italian food. I feel like I'm eating a re heated lean cuisine. | 0negative

This was my first visit to this Taco Bus and my second visit to any Taco Bus since the menu and recipes changed many years ago.
I would have given the old Taco Bus 5 stars and called it a local hidden gem to any friends I brought into town.
I bit the bullet and tried it again due to the convenience of this location and my serous hunger.
I tried to compare to a regular fast casual food joint instead of the monumental experience I used to have eating the butternut squash and marinated pork tostados from years past.
I got one (huge) marinated pork tostada and a side of butternut squash.
It was a great and fast meal for under $10 and I would definitely go back again if I am hungry and near a location.
I would never plan a special trip or seek it out like the old days but for a quick, convenient good meal this place fits the bill. | 2positive

Amazing food and service! Packed Tues evening but scored bar seats and so glad for it! Met amazing bar tender/server excellent, Jerry, who was a wealth of knowledge and conversationalist. Also got to chat with great couple from Michigan while enjoying divine local Brander Sauvignon Blanc and squash blossom appetizers filled with goat cheese and other delectables. Then, coup des etat of entrees with their Rigatoni (homemade pasta and sausage for me who is seafood allergic) and scallops for Mom with lobster mashed potatoes, bacon and asparagus. "Best scallops and potatoes ever!" | 2positive

We (my boyfriend and I) stumbled across this SB treasure on the way to a romantic getaway in MONTEREY...did I mention I was with my boyfriend of almost 3 months (we've been official for 2 weeks!!!). Anyway, I digress. We called ahead when we were 45 minutes outside of SB because his tummy was craving some sultry Spanish tapas. The Staff was accommodating, and we savored some delectable drinks at the bar while waiting for a table and gazing into each others eyes. I highly recommend the spicy margarita, which my boyfriend claimed was almost as spicy as me, hehe! For our appetizers, we had the oysters (you guys know why, but like we need any help!?!?). We also ordered the ceviche sampler yummy!, If you fellow yelpers have to pick one, my boyfriend reports "try the yummy local halibut ceviche with plantain chips" (his words not mine). For our finale, we ordered shrimp and crap empanadas, which my boyfriend accompanied with French press local coffee. I must admit, the ambience, service, and ingredients all contributed to a night of sensual dining with the best
Boyfriend ever!!! Our one regret was not tasting the pork belly quesadillas, but "nothing ever tasted as good as thin feels!" | 2positive

Great burgers and fries. Terrific toppings. And Lynyrd Skynyrd and Journey in the playlist with some Outkast and Poison just for fun. Lunch....featuring the greatest hits from 20-40 years ago | 2positive

Good food, great service!
I was thoroughly impressed with the very polite gentleman behind the counter who took my order. Everything was yes ma'am and sir to every customer that came in. You don't often find that these days in a quick food joint. You can tell this is a mom and pop type establishment that take pride in their place of business.
The order came quickly and when I got it home I was very pleased with the taste and portion size. I tried the gyro and it was very big, fresh and tasty.
I will definitely be back! | 2positive

Great breakfast a lot of good breakfast items very filling and at reasonable price good service friendly staff. | 2positive

Not a very large selection on the menu. Just sandwiches and burgers really. It took forever to get our food. When it came out half of it was cold. The burgers were over cooked and dry and the waitress never asked how we wanted them cooked. Fries were old. Not very apologetic about the wait. I'm surprised this place is as busy as it is when there are issues like this. Numerous tables had the same issues. | 0negative

Hydrabad house is an authentic Indian cusine restaurant. They have enough parking space to park and ample of seating inside the restaurant. I love the Lamb biryani and chicken biryani here. It's close to the authentic biryani you can get. The best thing is that they are pretty consistent with the taste of food and great dining experience. They also have amazing selection of pastries which you must try. I always get to go biryani and pastries when I go here. A must try place and defenetly recommand if you re looking for authentic indian taste. | 2positive

Great place to go to coffee!! I love it ! I was visiting Nashville and I stopped by to pick up some coffee. The workers are nice and friendly . It's a chill and laid back environment . | 2positive

I'm going to be a regular here for sure, I went for the first time and then returned the following week. The pizza is great, needed a little salt but they had salt and pepper grinders available. They have an extensive menu and vegan items. The prices are a little more than I'd like to make this my Friday night pizza but well worth a try. | 2positive

Fun atmosphere, great beer & food! Ordered their beer flight and loved their Bluebeard-very similar to a sour beer. The French fries are amazing with four different sauces-sun dried pesto, aioli, beer cheese, and more. Great place for drinks after work or game day, especially in the summer when the patio is open. | 2positive

Great new find for me!! I've been going somewhere else for my bakery needs but lately they just haven't been hitting the mark. So when we were invited to a last minute dessert party I turned to yelp and found this place.
I walked in and the small feel made me feel right at home. When we walked up to the case I was over-whelmed with how many choices were available. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
I chose lemon bars, cheesecake, and chocolate layer cake. The pieces were so huge I was able to cut them in half and have plenty for the party! The prices were a lot more reasonable as well. I did not try the other desserts but they got raving reviews. However my son and I split a lemon bar (let me rephrase that I got a bite of the lemon bar) and it was so yummy. Gabe commented he could taste the lemons, and it was so fresh.
There was seating in the main area, over to the side on a sun-porch, and outside seating. We did not get to sit down because we were in a hurry but we will next time. I also want to try their coffee as I have a feeling it will be delish as well. I wish I had a photo to post....but the desserts didn't last that long! Looking forward to coming back! | 2positive

My friend and I went to Joes for lunch and really enjoyed it. Fish and chips. The food was good, the design really comfortable.
Our waitress, Cassandra, was very patient and attentive. | 2positive

Incredible experience!! Excellent service and the absolute best food! The corn pancake with cheese and The Animal Malbec was to die for! Renzo's will not disappoint! | 2positive

I have never had a bad meal here. The location at first seems a little unusual (a strip center on Macdill), but I actually love the atmosphere in the bar area in particular.
The wait staff are friendly and the food is great! I love the bread, salads, and those main dishes I have tried.
I wish they had longer hours on Sunday, and the restaurant can get quite crowded and noisy at times (which is why I prefer the bar area), but I remain a loyal patron. | 2positive

Overrated by a degree that cant be expressed in my review.
I grew up in St Louis and have lived in Chicago awhile as well. Offhand I can think of 6 or 7 places that I would order or go to over Pi.
The pizzas are ok, they do offer a large number of toppings which is nice but for the most part they are nothing special.
Id say go once to see if it tickles your fancy but dont go in with expectations, I think that is likely what killed it for me. Id say Pi in movie terms is the equivalent of 'There Will Be Blood'-- there was so much hype and it looked so good prior to getting there that there was never a way for it to live up to it. Im sure had I just stumbled across this place next to my house my review would be a bit higher, but I came into this place expecting the best pizza that ever graced this Earth and all I got was something that doesnt compare to Chicago chains or any St Louis style pizza. | 0negative
