I'll give them 1 stars because although our server Diane was nice enough she was very new and not experienced at all. I frequent the area a lot as I usually stop by the Wendy's next door on my way home from work in Center City(lol, I take 291 to avoid 95 traffic) and was super excited to see a Cracker Barrel coming. I had only been to Cracker Barrel once in jersey and it was so good! Tonight my sister and I decided to have a little dinner date and went to the new Cracker Barrel. The place was packed and to be expected on a Friday night for a new restaurant the wait time was about 25 minutes for 2. We get seated and greeted by the server about 5 minutes later. As mentioned above she was nice but new... we got our drink orders pretty quick as did our neighbors that was seated next to us around the same time. We noticed there food came out a good 15-20 minutes before ours as well. When our orders came we had no utensils or napkins and one of my sisters sides were missing so we had to wait another 5 minutes to flag down a waitress to get that and what do you know!! The food is now cold. I didn't complain, I tried to be understanding as we had a new server and it's busy I get it but I wasn't pleased at all. None the less the food we ordered tasted alright and even placed a Togo order for the Friday fish special. Now this is where poor Diane's tip disappeared. I ordered the fish special with pinto beans and Mac and cheese and a family side of fried okra, my sister orders the same but had fried okra and Mac and cheese for the sides. Our orders came, we checked the bags and I saw I had 3 side containers! I got excited because I love fried okra so I thought the family size that I ordered was really family size! But that wasn't the case, they only put the Mac and cheese in the to go container with the fish and two side containers had okra one was the pinto beans. I was okay well, whatever. But my sister had one side and no side containers. We flagged down Diane and said we were missing a side. My sister literally had one okra on her platter. Diane walked away and came back with some other lady that asked if she could check our bags to make sure we had everything. I was taken aback because if I say I'm missing a side to go at red lobster or Olive Garden they apologize and give me my side. But I complied because I mean it's just food and we didn't have a reason to lie! my sister didn't get her side so look, this is my order. So the lady is so caught up saying one side is mine and the other is my sisters that the server had to come back and reiterate that I asked for a family size side and Diane asked her about it. So at this point 2 servers at the table looking in our bags and I felt they should've just brought out the damn okra! Now what Diane did was just put one side on my bill because as a new server she rang me up the way she knew especially since she asked the trainer or whoever she was about the family size side and she didn't tell her how to ring me up. We couldn't leave until she changed my check to add another 2.79 for my "family size" okra and even had the nerve to ask for the old slip so she could crumple it up! I felt like as a person of a particular color and size we were made to feel like we were trying to steal food or "get over" on a extra side of 2.79 okra... not a good feeling when we remained pleasant and understanding throughout but the whole time they were acting like we did something wrong when in reality your server wasn't qualified enough in her 3 days of working to be on a busy Friday shift..I won't be back.. Jersey is a little farther but I would rather go there. They didn't check my bags and treat me like I'm trying to deceive to steal food. | 0negative

Ordered a sushi roll from this restaurant. I have to agree with the reviewer below in that the fish was so skimpy...not the best place for sushi but their other food is good. | 2positive

I came here upon visiting family and wanted to try some good barbecue. I had the pulled pork sandwich and the beef brisket with creamed butter corn, mashed potatoes and homemade cornbread. It did not disappoint! | 2positive

Quick delivery but the pizza is 2 stars at best. The crust is not as fold-ably thin as Rex's and the red sauce is pretty bland and thin. The white pizza sauce is garlicky, which is a plus, but overall, it's just meh. The wings are much better and the actual meat dishes are very reasonably priced and decent. Stick to the wings and kebabs. | 1neutral

We went for lunch and got the special of 3 tacos and a soup or salad for $10! Such a great deal the tacos and the salad were so good. Also our server Jennifer was great. The owner even stopped by our table to ask us about our experience. I would definitely recommend eating here I loved it and we will be back! | 2positive

ELOTES!! Astrid served us and she is an absolute sweetheart. Very genuine, made our visit even better | 2positive

I love this place. My girlfriend was a hostess here for a while so I would go late at night for a drink and it's a fun atmosphere. Always a good place to catch a Cards game. The manager there named Zach does a good job making it feel like a solid neighborhood bar. I've never been to brunch but I hear they have free mimosas and cheap bloody Mary's. | 1neutral

There's no place in the area that has a better breakfast! I especially love their pancakes!
Staff is always friendly and ready to serve.
Our local Glassboro, Friendly's is one of the best kept secrets in South Jersey. I love this Friendly's! | 2positive

Another excellent Besh restaurant featuring fresh, local ingredients and open Sundays for post Saints game dinner. Roasted cauliflower was outstanding...we now make it at home! Go early to tour the Roosevelt Hotel lobby. | 2positive

Kolaches and donuts are amazing. Coffee is pretty watery and borderline gross. Decor is awesome. Parking is a drag. Staff is friendly. Too many toddlers crawling on the walls. Great music. However, I understand when "Thriller" is being played it deserves to be dialed up. But god damn! It drowned out every conversation and sent half the restaurant to move outside just to talk. Maybe that was the goal. The music was never turned down after. It felt like bourbon street with toddlers and yoga pants. | 2positive

Lunch until 4 pm is offered!! Are you looking for kind customer service and a delicious lunch? Then come to Mandarin Palace! The man who took my order was very nice, and our food was hot and tasted good. It's great to grab your food to go, and take it home or to a park. We each ordered the Cashew Nut Chicken, but there are MANY options for you! Enjoy a flavorful Chinese-American style lunch (or dinner). | 2positive

Styers orchard is great for apple picking, pumpkin picking and everything in between. Prices are average for "pick your own". There is a free hayride that dives you to different areas of the farm with signs letting you know which fruits and veggies are in the area.
I like to visit the market after farm for good grub. Depending on the time of the year I may opt for an ice cream cone or a hot cocoa. They also make their own pies and other baked goods on sight. I highly recommend their apple cider donuts. They also make soups and salads if you would prefer something more substantial. | 2positive

Whenever I ask someone out Chinese food in Tampa, they always recommend Yummy House. When we ate there, we were not that impressed.
We showed up as soon as they opened to make sure that we would receive the best service. It gets pretty crowded fast, and stays that way until about 2:00.
The roast duck was tough and had an overage of gelatinous fat on it. If duck is cooked long enough, most of the fat should melt off and the meat should become tender. My appetizer was the pepper tofu, and it did not taste like much. I even made sure to get bites of the pepper mixture with the tofu, but it was still lacking. Maybe it needs a dipping sauce, dashi style broth, or five spice added to the batter. The gai lan was also quite hard to bit through and should be par boiled for longer. The noodle soup broth did not have much flavor. After hearing even more talk about the restaurant, I want to go back and find out what the good dishes are and pay closer attention to what the regulars are ordering. It is nice that Yummy House is right by Got Tea for dessert.
China Yuan is still my favorite for roast meats and fresh vegetables, and Ho Ho Choy for the dim sum. Maybe Yummy House will one day change my mind! | 0negative

Where did you hear that the blue owl doesn't have a "cooking license" because you may want to check your facts.
A) cooking license isn't even a permit one can attain, if the facility is zoned for a restaurant and you file your business license under the restaurant option, an onsite meeting with the health inspector is all that's needed to cook.
B) Cindy (the owner) sources from the farmers market. I see her shopping there, but you're from LA so you would know nothing about the community here and how Cindy actually does use responsible and fresh ingredients
C) if you don't like the blue owl fine, say that. At times I have been less than stoked on the establishment.
-long lines
-poor service
- hot coffee served in a compostable cup meant for cold drinks which exploded all over my car
Just to name a few.
BUT DONT MAKE THINGS UP AND POST THEM TO YELP, BECAUSE:
A) your mother taught you better than to lie when you didn't get what you wanted
B) your hurting a local business that is trying to do the right thing by buying fresh ingredients that are local and organic
Sheesh! If you don't like a place just don't go there, chanes are the business would be happier to not have to deal with you. But DO NOT spread lies and slander all over yelp. | 2positive

Great place to grab a burger and a beer. I spent the weekend in Santa Barbara and was happy to find Eureka! Service was great and the food was delicious. The Fresno Fig Burger and the Mac and Cheese Balls are amazing. Definitely coming back next time I'm in SB. | 2positive

Our brunch was absolutely phenomenal, great staff and even better food! Prices were on par for what we ate and couldn't ask for more lovely decor. ALOT of fun activities to do at this spot highly recommend for a group or even a lovely date night! | 2positive

Look, I'm gonna level with y'all, I am a simple country mouse from the suburban South, and all of my East Asian food experience up until now was with strip mall takeout. Went to Bao Nine after visiting the Mütter Museum with a friend while I was visiting Philly (not a bad walk), and it was my first time trying those little fluffy mf'ers. Interior is very nice, hipster-y decor. I ordered The Gringo, The Prime Time, and The Lil Bao Wow. A very nice combination of flavors! Again, this was my first journey on the bao express so I can't say how it stacks up on that scale, but it was just perfect for lunch. My friend got the Yenta and it's apparent the kitchen was very optimistic about just how much stuff you can fit in a bao. So some of these you *will* need a fork to eat. | 2positive

My son and dropped by for a 7pm dinner and they notified us at the door which dishes they were out of and then the waiter added a few more at the table. My son had a pulled pork sandwich which he said was good. I ordered the potato which seemed that it was cooled the day before refrigerated and then microwaved when we ordered it. You know the texture, they actually cut it open for me so i know they had to be disappointed at what they were serving. They topped it with frozen vegetable medley. It will be a while before we consider going back. | 0negative

Excellent service. I am a typical American that orders my food how I want it and tend to make things difficult at times.. In 4 visits and my food has been perfect. The one time a mistake was made they not only corrected it within minutes they brought an entire new entree.. | 2positive

My boyfriend has pretty much turned Thai because of how often he eats Thai food. The combination of that and how close Trio was to my old apartment, found us there one weeknight. I had ordered delivery pad thai from Trio before, and it was pretty good. Not amazing, but solid. So I was hoping that eating in would be even better.
We both started with a soup. I got pumpkin, which was the best thing of the night, and he got coconut, which he gets at almost every Thai restaurant. Compared to similar soups elsewhere, his was mediocre. For an appetizer we got the vegetable samosas. These were pretty good, crispy but not too fried, with a nice filling and a good peanut sauce. I then got the seared ahi tuna, which had almost no flavor. I never feel the need to season my food, and so when I had to ask the waiter for soy sauce, it was a big deal. While there was nothing bad about the dish, there really wasn't anything good either. He got the drunken noodles which they are famous for, and asked them to make it a 4 out of 5 on the spicy scale...which was probably a bit too brazen...which was probably why he didn't enjoy it.
The below par food coupled with the below par service has made it our only trip there thus far. Unfortunate, since it was so close to my old apartment. The owners also own Isabel, which I feel similarly about. Decent food, less than decent service. | 1neutral

Jacob, Madison, Gavin and all the other staff provide great service. The chicken tenders and smoked wings are on point. Have a great time every Wednesday with friends with the unlimited chicken tenders after 10pm. We come ever wensday and have a great time! | 2positive

Oh man... the Juice Bar is so close to my work AND they do online orders so it's extremely easy to get a juice, smoothie, or healthy snack. My wallet is in trouble, because unfortunately Juice Bar is pricey!
It's easy to drive past the place but its very cute inside and there is an overflow parking lot next door. I had the green smoothie and the kale/quinoa salad. For a grand total of $13.50 I had a healthy lunch that left me full. The green smoothie was blended perfectly and I liked the flavor. Next time I will ask them to hold back a bit on the banana; it was good but overpowered the rest of the flavors a bit. The salad was fantastic though...absolutely no complaints! The flavors were well-balanced and absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed it and am trying to figure out how I can make it at home!
Overall, I am definitely a fan of Juice Bar and need to sample more of the menu! I'll be back soon! | 2positive

Hey Amanda S, hope you see this. Place was very average food. Also took exactly 29 minutes for us to get our food while a family of 6 that ordered behind us got their food before. Kind of insane considering there were about 3 other customers in the establishment. Also yalls sauces suck so much ass. They are identical to a McDonalds sauce which just ruins the quality of the chicken when all I can think about is eating McDonald's chicken tenders because of the sauce. I thought this was supposed to be a top notch place? Party Fowl is 10x better, heck most chicken places at least have their own version of different sauces. I won't ever be back here again to eat sub par chicken w sauce that makes me throw up in my mouth. Fix the sauces and customer service wait time and I'll come back but until then... | 0negative

Great pizza here!! We had a thin crust meat lovers pizza and I was pleasantly surprised. I would definitely return for the pizza. Good selection of beer. We tried the boneless wings but I really wasn't a huge fan of them. One member of our party had the buffalo chicken sandwich and said it was just average.
Only thing I would change: the bouncer at the front door is incredibly RUDE! Geez, we are clearly old enough to drink.... don't treat me like a 14 year old because I didn't have my ID out the minute I walked through the door. Doesn't leave a good impression. This isn't a bar and no one was trying to sneak in. Very rude. I also wish they had a hostess to seat you at your table. Service can be very slow. | 2positive

So we went last night randomly. I hadn't been to Denny's in like 10 years, but I've done Uber Eats deliveries in the past and it always smelled stupid delicious when I picked up from there. So I've wanted to try it again as an adult.
So I will say they have decent specials for a breakfast place. They have this menu of random stuff that starts at like 2, 3, and 6 dollars I think. Something like that. And they also have a menu with daily specials but it's mostly for kids and seniors. I got a BLT and fries and was totally stuffed for like $6.
The food was pretty good. My fries were crispy and fresh and my BLT was great too. My husbands pancakes were good too and he also had eggs and something else I forget.
His eggs had an eyelash in it tho. He didn't say anything which I still think that's gross. Lol
My husband went to wash his hands and the food came while he wasn't there and he saw it right when he got back so it wasn't his.
The main reason I didn't give 5 stars was the service. Our server was invisible lol. Needed refills. She wasn't around. Didn't bring the honey mustard and I kept waiting and then asked another waitress and she even mentioned she had no idea where our server was and it's just easier to get it for me herself than track her down lol. Then she finally came back and was going to get me a refill but didn't bring the vanilla Diet Coke just regular. Which is fine I didn't say anything. But there was like maybe 4 tables in the whole restaurant taken it wasn't busy and she could have been way on top of it but she just wasn't at all. | 2positive

A delightful surprise. White cloth tablecloths (and chair backs) and the best Tom Kau Gai ever!
Classy for a strip mall location. Massaman Curry was very good and the hubs' sushi (he said) was 'ok' but it was more what he ordered than their preparation. Wish it were closer to us but would definitely eat here again! | 2positive

I stop in here for happy hour every so often. Usually get the bacon wrapped steak medallions- they're pretty good. If you want them medium, you need to ask for them to be rare though. Two for one drinks are also made well- waitress always remembers us, which is nice too. | 1neutral

A beautiful destination, here, in St. Louis! I've been for several different events and am most looking forward to their Summer music festival, the Whitaker Music series. It's a free event where you bring a blanket and can just sit in the park, drink some wine (or whatever else you'd like to pack), and enjoy that week's performer(s). Such a wonderful way to spend Wednesday evenings! | 2positive

Nice little brewery on the south side of Indy. Kind of hard to see if you are not looking for it. There is a nice variety of beers there. Also a nice outside place to sit. Definitely will go back. | 2positive

So many awesome things about this place. I'll just list them:
-gorgeous store front
-easy to get to/plenty of street parking
-friendly and helpful staff
-no minimum for debit cards ($15 for credit cards)
-pizza that looked and smelled so good (didn't try any because we were there for sweets, but the flavors were awesome and they had plenty of vegetarian-friendly options)
And now, the sweets. Oh my goodness, where do I start?
The salted caramel macaron was HUGE and delicious. Light and delicate on the outside with a decadent filling and just a hint of salt. The SWEET POTATO POP TART (yes, you read that right) was ridiculous - flaky and dusted in brown sugar and the filling was perfectly spiced. And the lemon bar with the pretzel crust was the perfect mixture of sweet and tart.
I'm pretty sure I won't be able to leave the city without stopping here on my way home now that I know about it. | 2positive

This is the place. Family owned and operated only open Fridays and Saturdays. Get there early, they do run out of some things as the day progresses. You will find no better barbecue anywhere. Right on the Pinellas Trail. | 2positive

This review is specifically for francoluigi's pizza. By far, the BEST plain cheese pizza in philadelphia! Sauce, crust, amount of cheese...it's just PERFECT. In fact, their pizza officially turned me into a "folder" - yes, they converted me into one of those people who folds the slice in half so that they can devour it even faster. Also, the panzarotti stromboli is oowey gooey cheesy deliciousness, with some brocolli rabe and tomatoes thrown in to alleviate the guilt of housing a few pounds of cheese in one sitting! | 2positive

I want to start off by saying that the manger was super awesome & took a reservation for our party of 9, the day before. I honestly did not think they took reservations but it was awesome to walk in and have a table set and ready for us.
I have been to this location a handful of times, mostly on weekends & it was insanely busy. I was surprised to see that it was not super crowded or busy. Our server was amazing and on top of everything, especially being a larger party.
We started out with two pitchers of margaritas, one regular and one strawberry. You can get about 4 glasses out of one pitcher. I love how diligent they are with making sure you have plenty of chips and salsa.
I ordered my fav, the California tacos, which you get your choice of beef or chicken or you can always do one of each. I got the chicken. This is more or less just like the fajitas but you do not have to make them and instead of it coming with peppers it comes with corn. For some reason they tasted very salty to me, so I would suggest to ask for no added salt.
I would definitely give this place a try if you like Mexican and are looking for somewhere new to try. | 2positive

We really stumbled upon this place last weekend and were pleasantly surprised. Don't let the roads deter you! The inside of the place hasn't changed from the past two bars that have been here. I don't think they have an identity.... but we were going for food! I tried the bloody like always and it was pretty good. They forgot my bacon and brought it on a plate later so that isn't the best. Our dood though was pretty delicious. I had the tenderloin and some kind of loaded fries that were great and she had a buffalo chicken wrap. We both left stuffed and happy! I'd recommend this spot!! Enjoy
Tried it again... yes that is rare for me and I'm even more pleased with the food and service. This place is just great. They even surprised me and had a Veterans Day menu that I took advantage of! Wow. This is a great spot. They are hanging in there during construction. Try them out!! | 2positive

The store is not big, but they carry a lot of foods and other items. I like it a bit more than Babushka Deli, personally. All the goods are mostly from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Baltic Countries. The staff is always friendly and helpful - they'd suggest what's higher quality and what to avoid, as well as hell you find whatever you are looking for. That's how I found pierogis that tasted well. Everything is a hit or miss (good pelmeni / bad pelmeni), but mostly a hit. It's priced above average, but some groceries you can't find in local supermarkets - so once in a while it works. | 2positive

Cookies were delicious, the woman at the counter was super helpful when I wasn't sure what to order. Will definitely consider ordering ahead for teacher appreciation or party treats! | 2positive

I can't say this place has the best Mexican food in Santa Barbara because I haven't tried every place yet. But so far this is the best. They keep it interesting here with excellent seafood dishes and various mole combinations. I would highly recommend the agaves enchiladas or the agaves burritos. Both are coated in a mildly sweet mango sauce.
For all the uniquely crafted menu items you would expect this place to be more formal. But you order at the counter. Plus prices aren't too hefty either for the quality you're getting here. I was a little disappointed with the lack of margaritas on the drink menu. But I suppose it's so busy that it would be hard to serve them. | 2positive

Fast delivery Huge wings, great cheesesteaks and crunchy fries loved it. Thank you I will order again. | 2positive

I can't even believe the experience...waitress had no idea of bourbons available. Ok no big deal. Waited 20 minutes for her to return. Tried to order was told they didn't have what I wanted. Told they "are out of a lot of things. Just tell me what you want and I will tell you if we have it" uh no. had not a clue about what they were out of and we waited thirty minutes for her to tell us they had nothing for us to order. We left ..terrible terrible terrible | 0negative

The lines are usually very long. The staff wears gloves, which in theory is great. However, when the gloves that are used to prepare the orders are the same gloves used to scratch ones head, neck, etc. while completing the order it kind of defeats the purpose of wearing the gloves. | 0negative

I usually come here for the pickup service. Although I've been here numerous times for grocery, I've only been in the actual store twice.
The pickup service is quick and easy. I haven't had any real issues except I recieved the wrong type of formula once. The issue was reaolved promptly. The customer service has always been great even he times that I've gone into the store. The cashiers were friendly, which is something most Walmarts that I've visited didn't have.
I was able to find everything that I needed, and when I couldn't find something, the workers that I asked helped with smiles. Kid you not! I wish I had gotten names...
I especially like this one because they have a variety of the Gardein meatless products at a fair price. Many places don't have these or have a limited variety.
The only con is that there was only 2 cashiers when I visited on a Saturday night. The lines moved quickly, but I have to wonder if the "Scan N Go" is causing people to lose their hours. | 2positive

I don't post a ton of reviews, but I wanted to give a shout-out to my new favorite restaurant in Tampa. I used to tell people that Sideburns was the tops in this town (they're closed for reservations, FYI), but now I unreservedly recommend The Rooster & the Till.
It's a tiny place (for now- they're planning an expansion soon), and the kitchen is right there in front of you behind the bar. The fact that they make such stunning food in this little space using induction hot plates, a single oven, and a sous vide circulator is remarkable in and of itself. Anyway, we prefer to sit at the kitchen bar to watch them work, and we always have lively conversations with those on the other side (including chefs Farrell and Brian, who are warm and generous with their time, even when the place is slammed).
There are always-changing raw seafood options on the chalkboard, including two different oysters, fresh clams, and one or two crudo offerings. This last time we started with both crudos: an amberjack ceviche and a beef tenderloin crudo. They were both amazing, well balanced, intricate dishes, and beautifully presented.
The charcuterie selection is awesome, and chef makes some of the best I've ever had anywhere. I could go on about that, but then this will get really long.
There's an inviting selection of small plates, and I think I've tried them all over the last few months. There's not a bad one in the bunch, but my current favorite is is the gnocchi with short ribs, smoked ricotta, san marzano's, and pickled peperonata. The cheeky deconstructed ruben dish is a close second.
The larger plates are similarly inventive and delicious. Don't expect a heaping plate of food (this is the only negative comment I've read in other reviews, but some people just don't get haute cuisine); instead expect incredible flavors that all make sense when you assemble that perfect bite. The deserts are always good too.
We usually spend around $100, including 3 or 4 glasses of wine for me (or local beers, when I'm in the mood), and we always feel like we got our money's worth, and were very well taken care of. What's more, we feel like we've had s great time, laughing it up with the chefs and staff, and eating food that reminds us what real culinary talent is. | 2positive

This place isn't terrible. I've been here twice and both times the food was just ok. Since I'm new to Arizona I have to find my go to places. The prices are a little high for the ok food. I just went because it's close to work and they're quick | 1neutral

The service was good but that's it. Started off with a carb dip that was suppose to have their home made potato chips and got some bagged corn chips so $16 and it was ok. Main course shrimp and grits no flavor i had to add hot sauce and salt to get something out of it $23. Beer was good purple haze $7.25 but no draught beer of any kind. Also had two other people who said same thing it was ok. But for $180 Ok doesn't cut it Sorry. But again service was good but food wasn't. | 0negative

The first thing you need to know is that anything you order for your meal is going to be great but you have to safe space for the Bananas Foster.... AMAZING! It's a total treat. The atmosphere is older than what we were expecting but the music and staff were great. For sure a nice place if you are in the mood for a fancy dinner. Kind of pricy | 2positive

My husband and I were doing a "do over" for our anniversary since the restaurant we originally picked was bad. From the moment we walked in the door and were greeted by the hostess it was 100% better. Not only were we seated immediately but service was prompt and attention to detail was given. Our waiter Tristan was beyond amazing. He apologized for an app coming out late but in all honesty it was perfection. Best steak, best sides, best service. do not wait to try this restaurant. it will not disappoint. We are planning our next visit. | 2positive

I have been to The Choice for drinks at the bar a few times. I love the decor in the bar area. And the live music was really nice. However, those are the only positives.
I mistakenly took my girlfriend to eat there with a Groupon. As we were seated with menus we ordered drinks. When the drinks arrived we started our order, but were told that we could not order from the menu. What? We were forced to order the buffet. We didn't really want the buffet, but since we were already there, we decided to give it a go. (Why did they give us menus if we could not order from them?) Anyway, the buffet looked rather pitiful and tired. Actually, it looked like reheated leftovers. We were told that we could only have 2 proteins, 2 sides and 1 cornbread muffin from the buffet. This was not an all-you-can-eat buffet. I have never experienced a buffet that you could not eat what and as much as you wanted. At the price point, it should have been all-you-can-eat. And it did not even include drinks or dessert. For the most part, the food was tough and cold and lacked flavor. We didn't even eat half of our food. To top off our experience, we were then told that they would not honor our Groupon. Thanks for not letting us know until after we ate. Very poor customer service! You don't treat customers this way! A waste of a lot of money and an embarrassing place to take a date. It's no wonder that the place was almost devoid of other customers. Will never go back to eat here. | 0negative

This review is simply for the customer service I experienced today at Panera on S Howard. I popped while my husband was next door getting a haircut. I was pushing our 5 month old in a stroller and when I went to pay i stuttered over my words with ridiculous brain fog probably from the lack of sleep from being a new parent with a teething baby. Lydia was so incredibly kind to me and on my way out before I left she asked how I was. Genuinely. I cannot say how much that made my week. It's really hard to have a baby, ever, but this past year having a baby for the first time in quarantine with no help has been brutal. Her simple kind inquiry made me feel seen.

Although I am still a big fan of this venue, I recently had a chance to experience the seats higher in the amphitheater/ family circle to see the Lion King. My fiance and I received tickets from a co- worker that was unable to attend the performance in this area, and were uncomfortable for the majority of the show. There is much less leg room in these areas, and being less expensive, attracted a diverse crowd. There was one family that was particularly disruptive the entire time- arriving late, getting up and down and children generally misbehaving. We were not next to them, but the couple at the end of the row in which they were sitting, were clearly disappointed that they kept crawling across them to get in and out of their seats in the middle of the performance.
Overall, the Lion King performance was spectacular and we got our tickets for a steal, but, I now know to pay a little more for orchestra seating to thoroughly enjoy our performance. | 2positive

Our last two visits here were not good at all. We love Jersey Mike's and were so happy they opened near where we lived. When this location first opened, the service was good. Recently, we have noticed a lot of staff changes and now their service is horrible. We ordered two sandwiches to go and both were wrong. We called back to complain and asked for a refund and he said he would and never did. | 0negative

What a surprise! We came here to celebrate my niece and nephew's birthdays. The restaurant is beautiful without being stuffy. Our service was friendly and was very helpful helping us make dinner and appetizer selections. He recommended we start with a plate of home cured meats and we loved it. We ordered the bass, the duck breast, and I had the parpadelle with veal. ALL of the entrees were excellent. We even asked the chef to use no salt because of my wife's restrictive diet and they accommodated the request without even blinking.
I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want a great meal mage with the best ingredients available. Prices are fair, which is not the same as inexpensive. We will definitely come back again! | 2positive

It took longer than expected to come back, Covid and all. Our second experience was even better than the first. HUGE portions, plenty of very-fresh vegetables, over-the-top service. We were all delighted with our meals. Shanghai Bistro is now our #1 go-to for Chinese food. | 2positive

Great time in a cool spot. You pull in and see a strip mall but when you walk up to UBC you quickly realize it backs up to the monon and has this great outdoor space with live music, a hot dog vendor for snacks and some of the coolest decor around. The entire place looks like it was designed with upcycled wood and other pieces. I'm calling it hipster rustic chic. I absolutely felt like I was in my own back yard chilling out, listening to music and having a beer. I recommend the cream ale for a nice smooth summery beer. | 2positive

Lombardi's is 45 seconds from our house, so this is definitely our home base. The wife loves the hell out of this place. I merely love this place. The only complaint I have is that they overuse the olive oil in the sauces. This is the local Italian restaurant from whatever neighborhood you grew up with in Philly. Including South Philly, it's that good. | 2positive

This is a good place for lunch. Great price! I ordered a lunch pad thai which came with a side of soup and an eggroll. I added on a Thai iced tea. The total price was $12. Compared to the price at Thai Phooket by the stadium this was a steal. I definitely like Thai Phooket the best in the Nashville area. However, this place is nearby work and the price is great. The food is okay... not terrible, not great. I'll be back here in the future especially when I forget my lunch at home! | 1neutral

Step 1 - fill up a large pool with Mister Softee ice cream.
Step 2 - make sure both vanilla and chocolate are poured in with equal amounts.
Step 3 - swirl around with large boat oars to get a nice swirl mix. Throw colored sprinkles on top.
Step 3 - strip clothes off, get butt naked, and dive right in!
I have to admit I love seeing these trucks pop up when spring comes around each year. The creamy consistency is always a treat. The sound of that single bell "ding!, ding!" beings me back to my youth running into the house yelling "ice cream man! Maaaaaa - the ice cream man is coming! I need some money! Ice creeeeeeaaammmm!"
Also, I have a little secret I will tell you all. My uncle owned a fleet of these in Brooklyn and Sheepshead Bay by the beach when I was a kid. We always had buckets of this yummy ice cream at every family event and birthday party. Yes, we were spoiled and I was a fat kid wearing huskies because of this and all the Italian food my Mom's side of the family cooked.
Mister Softee is a NY institution. From the blue and white trucks, cartoon ice cream man logo on the side, single bell ding, to the smooth vanilla and chocolate soft serve ice cream in the crispy cone. Just like a throwback from much simpler times, and still just as good. | 2positive

Things started off somewhat negative. The hostess was somewhat snarky and not accommodating. In front of me she had to discuss with the other hostess why she wouldn't seat us in a certain seat. The kind hostess was exasperated with her and handed her the menus and said I will let you handle this. I just stood there in amazement. She refused to seat us in a booth because she was reserving it for possible larger parties. They do not take reservations yet we had to be seated at a tiny round bar table for two. Yet there was a party of two seated right before us in a booth. I explained my husband had a recent injury and the high chairs were uncomfortable. She still would not let us sit in a booth. Now the up side of this was the waiter!! He was wonderful and very accommodating. Did I mention it was our anniversary and I thought we would try a new restaurant. We ordered an appetizer and a drink, honestly by this time I was feeling quite upset about the whole thing. The appetizer was extremely mediocre and I suggested we not order an entree and we left. The waiter said he would pay for our meal ( how very kind he was) we paid and left and I will never return. | 0negative

A chain restaurant showing up at an unusual location, right in the heart of Center City (look out, Olive Garden!). The venue hugs the corner of 17th and Chestnut, on the first floor of this office tower. We were hard up on a holiday afternoon for late lunch, and it was one of the few places in the area still serving. The rooms have the generic RT look; the menu is American basic with a New Orleans twist, heavy on hamburgers. What it does offer is a serviceable salad bar, reasonable prices, and respectable fare. The tap beers are less than four dollars. The hamburger choices include veggie, turkey, and bison. The blackened tilapia entree came with over cooked broccoli and decent mashed potatoes. The fish was fresh tasting and moist, with just the right amount of Cajun kick. The turkey burger was a respectable size and tasty. The salad bar was well maintained, especially for the middle of the afternoon, and offered a reasonable selection. If you need a cheap meal in this area, you could do worse. | 0negative

Lived out of state for awhile and really missed Trader's great food and specialty items (ie try the pop-up sponges; special dark chocolate bars; thick hand done tortillas; different naan breads; good coffee selection) Wide variety of frozen entrees, interesting frozen veggies, rice, sauces (curries great!). A very happy staff happy to serve will answer your questions and guide you to your item. Due to the competition among grocers, the workers in the large chain stores in town have now stopped being so snarky with customers and some come close to Trader's service, but Trader's cornered the market as a pleasant place to shop with good prices years ago. Free small samples of coffee and food round out the friendly atmosphere. | 2positive

I really wanted to like this place. Especially since two businesses failed before it. Sadly, if things don't improve I foresee Pyramid grill following suit.
Maricella was our server. Poor girl seemed a little overwhelmed. She was the hostess, server, busser, and bartender for the whole place. (Not that it was busy) She was very sweet and and prompt as she could possibly be.
I ordered the Alfredo. I wasn't really impressed with it. It was lacking the creamy savoryness that one would expect with an Alfredo sauce. To me, it tastes like over cooked, over buttered noodles with feta cheese on top. My boys had the children's Mac and cheese. I think their meal tasted way better than mine. The fries were really good.
The inside was a little weird. It's like they gutted the whole thing, but left the booths. It seemed divey to me. The front entrance was nicely decorated for the holidays. It looked like it would be a pretty nice restaurant at first glance until you peek around the corner.
I'm not sure I will be back unless I'm with a group that decided to go or unless I hear that changes have been made. | 1neutral

Out of all of the three locations, this one to me is the nicest and also plenty of parking. The service is excellent, and the food is decent. I got the taco trio, the meat is bit dry and just warm. I do see other tables their dishes look amazing. Perhaps I just didn't know the better dishes here. If I want good tacos and no environment, then Casita Taqueria would be my choice. | 2positive

A great neighborhood restaurant. My husband, friends and I have been going there for years. A fun irish atmosphere where there s, of corse, a full bar. It is a staple in dogtown and on st.pattys day you can get a large breakfast for cheap. Everyday there are specials which are superb! My husband recommends the clam chowder or Seamus salad. I love their blue cheese bacon burger with.hand made chips. This is to die for! They make their dressing fresh daily. There's lots of indoor and patio seating. Great for groups! | 2positive

A little expensive, but the pizza was good (coal-fired oven). 2 for 1 drinks (good, big martinis) at happy hour will leave you feeling good. Desserts were good, as well (canoli, deep friend oreos, delicious gelato). | 2positive

Wow! Came here for lunch without any expectations of what I was getting into, but what a great place! First of all, the interior is gorgeous - tastefully decorated, and the seating area on the second floor feels refined without being over the top. Our server, Francesco, was great - told us the story of the restaurant and was patient in answering our questions about the menu.
I ordered pasta with yellow tomatoes and garlic, and I was glad that I ordered something so simple - I was able to really taste the flavors in the sauce, without too much else going on in the dish. Didn't have room for gelato but I wish I did; maybe next time.
Another thing I appreciated about this place - appropriate portion sizes (the proper Italian serving sizes, that is)! I believe the menu is designed for sharing, but my group each ordered our own main course, and I thought the size of that entree was perfect.
Was a little bit on the pricey side, especially for lunch, but I liked the food and experience so much I'm inclined to say it was worth it. I'll be back with my Italophile family - they'll be happy to find a little taste of Italy on this side of the Atlantic. | 2positive

This is my 2nd visit to Chubby Cattle with my family. This is my top pick for hot pot place in philly and Nyc area. The soup is very authentic. The beef here is tender and flavorful. In most hot pot places, the meat you get is typically lower quality. Chubby Cattle offers very good quality meat. The other vegetable selections are also very fresh. I have yet to find a piece of veggie that is not fresh on my plate. I give the food a 5/5 at chubby Cattle.
In most places in Chinatown, service tend to be a weak point of the establishment. At Chubby Cattle, I found the service to be exceptional. The servers are all very tentative and caring. They often check by to see if we need anything without having us look around for service. Tonight we had Erika servicing our table, and my family had a wonderful time again at Chubby Cattle. This place will be one of our usual family dine out place from now on. | 2positive

An added star for hosting yesterday's unofficial YELP River Crawl event. The kitchen manager accepted an advance order of sample apps so they were served immediately after we were seated at reserved tables for 16. Individual orders were taken efficiently and served in time for out to eat, drink and get back in our e-boats in about an hour, allowing us to meet the rental return deadline...or close enough to avoid a late fee. The apps were great,,,I love the smoked fish spread and enjoyed the fresh-made potato chips with artichoke/spinach and French Onion dips. My Reuben was also excellent and other YELPERS seemed to enjoy their dishes as well on a perfect day on the deck. | 2positive

What could be better than a boost of caffeine along with a flattering affirmation stenciled in my latte?! Drink Beauty is a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle of life. This women-owned coffee/tea/matcha/cookie bar is as darling as its name. Popping in is an instant mood-booster. I have only tried the ice matcha (so happy to have this in NOLA) and the irresistible giant cookie-these sell out so go early, but I am looking forward to trying everything on the menu. Yes, this coffee shop is super chic-with a beauty bar and makeup artist too-but the drinks are delicious, as well. I can't wait to go back!! | 2positive

Better service tonight than what we typically experience here. The hostess was hustling! And despite being clearly busy helping with cleaning tables and answering the phone she was very friendly. Our server was prompt and friendly. My husband got the Santa Fe burger and I got the Sand wedge salad. Both were pretty tasty.

Doesn't do a damned thing for me. But it is CHEAP and you can get sammies, burgers and FRIED pub grub here for a quick lunch or a beer after work.

Welp, my favorite brunch place, never and I mean never let's me down! Every time someone says I'm going to Aksum for brunch, I'm not sure if invite myself or actually wait to be invited, so Saturday was no different, when my girlfriend said her and her Aunt and cousins were having brunch at Aksum.....Me + Aksum = one happy bruncher! My staple is the Moroccan Chicken and waffles, as everyone knows, but I always want to hear the specials and OMG!!! thank God I did....This Saturday's special was lollipop lamb chops (3) scrambled eggs and roasted potatoes. I'll wait while you visualize...ok I'll proceed now, the meal was amazing, I even had the pleasure of talking to the owner who came over to our table as we had finished our meal. We actually had a lovely conversation with her, it was a perfect ending after an exceptionally delicious meal! | 2positive

I feel so bad for the people who have had bad experiences here. Some of the two star reviews prompted my wife, bro in-law, and I to dine here last night (to make sure things hadn't changed too much). Well, things had changed just a little bit... FOR THE BETTER! We got the same friendly, attentive service; hot, fresh food; and pub-like ambience we've come to expect from Bardenay.
Sadly, wifey is pregnant and I was trying to support her by not drinking this month; however, it looks like their selection of tap handles has increased and maybe even improved. Wish I had drank some beer.... The food menu was updated a bit since I had been there, which now includes three types of tacos (prominently placed on the front of the menu) and some updates to the description of their sandwiches (yes, it had been a while since we'd done anything other than happy hour items).
Due to many, many recommendations for the trout, I suggested it to my wife. She tried it and loved it so much she was compelled to share. Trout was flaky, tender, and perfectly cooked / seasoned. It came with some kind of a gravy / reduction sauce that was savory and silky. The garlic mashed potatoes were solid and seasonal veggies were... well... steamed seasonal veggies!
Bro in-law had fettucini alfredo with salmon. Salmon was tasty (not fishy) and the alfredo was super-rich. The sauce had character and, unlike so many other places, you could taste subtle nuances, such as the nutmeg in the sauce (which is traditional).
Finally, as a fish taco fanatic, I was drive to try Bardenay's fish tacos for the first time. They were authentic as hell. Dual corn tortillas (per taco), some excellently seasoned and flaky fish, lettuce / cabbage (I thought lettuce sounded weird, but it totally worked), cotija cheese and salsa verde. My one complaint is that it was a little on the dry side; not the fish, but the total taco. I could've used a little more salsa, or even a crema (which is somewhat traditional, at least in the U.S.). Other than that, the tacos were stellar. Of course, a side caesar for $2.00 (because I think their caesar's are pretty outstanding).
We'll definitely continue to enjoy Bardenay as our go-to and introduction to Boise for newcomers. Food on, Bardenay! | 2positive

I attend a UYE here with a few Yelp friends. Great happy hour specials. I wanted to try the pork tacos, oh my heavens. The pork was not soaked in bbq sauce which was wonderful. It was moist, with the perfect amount of slaw, and other seasonings. They brought three for the happy hour special which was perfect to share with friends. The moscato was very nice, good place to stop and not expensive for happy hour. | 2positive

What a great place for brunch! Brunch here consists of breakfast, lunch and dinner items. A bit pricey, but worth it given the abundance of tasty dishes. One thing I really like based on a conversation with one of the servers is they source their food from local farmers. Will be back for sure!!! | 2positive

I had been wanting to try this place for a while, ever since I passed by it one day. Fast forward to Sunday, we were looking for a quick place to grab brunch and I suggested we try Southgate. We were able to find street parking nearby for free . When we got inside we were immediately seated and were able to identify several menu items that looked really yummy the prices were all pretty decent (a meal and a mimosa will run you about $20). When the food came out everything tasted great (the fries are AMAZING). And last but certainly not least, our server Dan was super attentive and helpful. Overall it's a nice option for a casual weekend brunch if you're not trying to do a boozy brunch but still want a little booze. | 2positive

This place is horrible! DO NOT EAT HERE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
I placed my order on a Tuesday at 2PM thinking that with the slow time of the day I would receive fast, good food. This was not the case.
Initially, despite being less than a mile away, I was told the food would come in an hour. I called an hour later and told it would come any minute. It took nearly three hours to be delivered. I called the place and the manager refused to do anything-not even give me a credit towards future food. And the food was pretty bad despite the wait.
Horrible food, horrible service, horrible management-AVOID!!!!!!!! | 0negative

Special, unique and delicious. From outside to inside, everything about A'Tavola is special. Lisa Peterson has built an incredible name for herself and a mouth watering menu.

Definitely a great place to fine special, unique gifts for food lovers. | 2positive

So I went to a party at the blue monkey tavern in Merchantville yesterday and I have to say I wasn't impressed. The wait staff was ok but the owner was a bit rude. The food was mediocre. They also missed little details like putting bread out and refilling the guests drinks. I am allergic to nuts but wanted to eat the tilapia which unfortunately came with nuts, when I asked if the nuts could be removed, my waiter returned only to tell me that it couldn't be done and I have needed to choose something else off of the menu. Ok, so i ordered the chicken marsala, not so great either, way to much pepper and sauce totally drowned out the flavor . what Another lady at the party wanted to substitute green beans for potatoes. This request was also denied. So much for customer service. Now it's time to cut the cake for which there is a .75cent charge per person for this. The establishment does not provide cakes or have a third party vendor, they just want to charge you to bring your own. After all of this, some of the guests wanted to take the cake home for which the waiter informed the host that they weren't allowed to give out the containers per company policy. Seriously! 75 cent per person per slice and we can't even have a to go container. I'm really big on customer service and I think this place could use a class or two. The blue monkey will Never get my business. | 0negative

First time at Barbuzzo. I must say their ambiance and food is great. I would take a date here anytime especially if they like Italian. The apps were great along with the pizza that we had.
The dessert was also on point. Make sure you have a reservation in advance because this place gets booked out pretty early.

Great brews in a post-industrial setting.
You know those craft breweries that have 6 beers on tap, but oh sorry we're out of 4 of them? Not here. They have 10+ taps of their own brew on tap at all times. Fuckin' believe it.
Whether you want to pound a pilsner while playing bags with your bros, or sip a barrel-aged stout alone in the dark, Modern's got ya covered.
