This has been one of our favorite restaurants since before we moved to Tucson. For the price, the amount and quality of food received is pretty great. Most outstanding is the friendly, prompt service we have always received, even when the location is very busy. Definitely try the guacatony!!

I recently graduated from Galen and passed my NCLEX RN on the first attempt with around 90 questions. I was in the ADN program and will be starting the RN-BSN program within the next few weeks. Yes- this school is expensive. It's a private school, which are always expensive. However, you get right into the program. No wait lists like at other schools. Galen is now FULLY ACCREDITED!! So no more using that as an excuse to not go! Yes- it IS a tough program but guess what? I never failed a single class. You have to be dedicated and willing to give it your all and then some. If I can do it with two sons under the age of 7, so can you! I would 100% recommend this school to anyone wanting to become a nurse because the instructors truly want to see their students succeed. The people leaving negative reviews must just be bitter because they didn't have what it takes to get through nursing school. Sorry, not sorry! HESI sucks but the NCLEX was a lot like the HESI and I think learning how to handle that stress early on helped me succeed with my NCLEX.

Spavia Day Spa was just the pampering that I needed. It is in the same shopping center as Home Goods but on the opposite end of the parking lot. They have many services here including waxing, massages, foot scrubs, facials and more. You can schedule an appointment online or by calling the spa. The process for booking online was easy and I received a confirmation and a reminder for the appointment before the date. They have a new client deal, which is $20 off of the service. They also have a membership where you can get one service a month for a discounted price. Upon arrival I was greeted and given a tablet to fill out new customer information which took about 5 minutes to do. Once I finished, I was shown the locker/changing room. They have a shower and bathroom inside this room as well. The lockers all have sandals and robes inside for you to change and get comfortable. After you are changed, there is a waiting area where your aesthetician or masseuse will come and get you for your appointment. The waiting area has a selection of tea and water as well. The facial was really nice. In between the lotions and masks that are applied, you also get a massage on your arms and neck. Nothing was tingly or uncomfortable, which I appreciated. Taylor was super gentle, even with the extractions. I will definitely be back here, it was a great experience! Very professional staff and nice facilities.

Chewing over which bakery in Tampa to visit for a small wedding cake was tiring day in and day out leading up to our flight. And the fear of disappointment of buying a stale, tasteless cake was real. When hubs found out his nephew and his new wife didn't plan on having a wedding cake (¯\_(ツ)_/¯) after dinner, I came across a few that were closed for the Holiday season- but we certainly lucked out on this one on Cypress St in West Tampa. Hubs stepped it up and got them one they would appreciate to celebrate their special day. Aside from the long-standing history here, hubs ordered and paid by phone from NY with ease. And when we came here to pick up the cake, the smell of sweets was all around even with my mask on. Glass shelving with fig bread, cookies and unusual pastry+fruit combinations I've haven't seen at any NYC Italian bakery I've been to. The price is right, service is plentiful from any counter you go up to and the Strawberry Shortcake hubs got for his nephew was very good. The cream seemed like a lot on top- but it was actually good, the cake itself was spongey-soft and strawberries tasted like strawberries. I may not be Italian, but I feel like a neighborhood isn't complete without a family-run spot for fresh-baked bread, cannolis, cakes, zeppoles, paninis, Pignoli cookies and the obligatory rainbow cookies. This one is it.

Brought a group of 23 high school students to Philly and stayed nearby this hidden gem. Was pleasantly surprised with the variety for such a smaller place. Only a few benches to sit with no tables. They have a large variety of types of bagels, cream cheeses, sandwiches and very good coffee. Bagels are fresh made daily. Prices are decent and service was super friendly. I loved the lox sandwich and egg, ham and cheese on bagel. The place was clean and has been family owned and operated for generations. Great little place and highly recommended.

ALWAYS love this place! And it's always busy, which is a good sign! The food is fantastic. They have the BEST horchata. Unfortunately they don't have alcohol, but you can get it across the courtyard. Their tacos are fantastic-- we got the street tacos which I think are a bit smaller than the tacos in the taco platter. We ordered chips and guacamole, and cicharrones, and got generous portions of each. Wasn't a huge fan of the rice my bf ordered as a side since it was basically plain white rice. Also just keep in mind you have to sit outside-- it was very chilly that day but we were able to snag a table near a heating unit! Also most parking is in the back parking lot which is dirt, and there was a lot of water back there that day basically coating our shoes in mud. This little plaza is so cute tho-- also love the coffee shop and bakery there!

Yes! I am a fan of the First Watch restaurants! Always good service and always enjoyable breakfast/brunch. Great for groups or a day-time date. The only down side is that everyone thinks that this is a great place to eat, so more often than not, there is a wait. Wait times can range from 15-30 mins...sometimes more, sometimes less. But I have found, that I usually have to wait 10-15 mins (also, they don't take reservations) so I recommend getting to the destination ahead of time, or sending someone ahead to get a table at those 'busier-than-usual' times. Otherwise use the time to catch up on conversation or browse the menu. And even after all of that...the wait is worth it! Enjoy! *accessible entrance*

Great pizza, awesome choices of beers, pet friendly, and great service. After a day of climbing on Mt Lemmon with friends we were looking for a great place to eat that allowed our dog! How awesome to have beer and great pizza with your best hairy friend :) can't wait to go back!

Our son just started cadence and we are very happy with our decision. The staff are extremely friendly. I love all the cameras and daily updates it makes us feel very comfortable while away from our son. The meals are healthy and the activities are good for learning.

I was fortunate enough to get served an ad to come try this Aussie Grill location before it opened. I signed up for a 4PM spot during their soft opening. I was the very first customer. Ever. I chose the drive thru option and I could tell the new staff were excited to greet me. It was very cute. I placed my order at the window: a cheeseburger, fries, and a cookie. The menu isn't very large but it serves its purpose for a bit more of an upscale drive thru. Center cut sirloin anyone? My classic cheeseburger was delicious! And the Outback signature, salty fries were just as good as the sit down restaurants. I'm thrilled this location is so close to me and will return to see how they do after the grand opening next week.

This is the first time in years where this place has failed me. Nothing was made with care. Half full salsa. Half full sides. Pork full of fat. Jalapeños old. What is going on.

YALL!!! I was hangry and really in the mood for pizza, but my sweet fiance convinced me to give this place a go right after a long shift uptown. Not only did I enjoy the stroll we took getting to and from the restaurant, but OMG DID THAT TURK BURG HIT THE SPOT! Fries were perfect, and they have the good good ice. Great spot for a random burger craving you didn't know you had. A+

I got Mike's Breakfast sandwich and Christie's Breakfast sandwich over three days. The roll was soft and chewy. The hash browns were crisp. The eggs fresh. And the meat juicy and tender. I think Mike's ever so slightly edges out Christie's Breakfast just because I think bacon wins out over pork roll.

Oh my, I'm officially on the Thai food train and can't wait to return to this eatery. My son, Ben, is a major Thai fan so we've gone to several restaurants around the U.S. I've reluctantly gone each time, never being crazy about any of them. This place converted me. With the enthusiastic guidance of our darling young server, I ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai and ate every last drop. Its presentation was beautiful and its spiciness was subtle and perfect. The facility isn't spacious but stylish and clean.

Had a wonderful dinner this Thursday night at Currents. They accommodated my multiple food allergies and gave me a normal meal that I could eat and enjoy...soy and wheat free without alot of fuss...just great service and as top to bottom, as nice as they could be. Even seated us an hour early as we came from Safety Harbor Spa to shop the shops, and it was raining and they were closed....so asked and they said sure, they could seat us an hour earlier than our reservation. That was a great start to a wonderful meal!

Let me start here, I love getting my nails done. Today, was an awful experience, this place is NOT my favorite, never has been for many reasons. Today's nail guy was Henry.... He rushed through my pedicure, I told him he was hurting me at least twice, and as I walked out and my toes are smudged. Our experience was horrifying; we were skipped over twice while waiting with our feet in the water, the first chair he gave me did not work, and he was going to let me sit there until I told him I wanted to move..... Everyone around us was offered a water, or soda.. We were not. Positive side was I was able to enjoy the company of my friend, we had great conversation. Just know this place does not stand behind their workmanship. They did not even offer to fix the smudged nails.

Loco Ono is probably our favorite poke spot. Reason being is the fresh ingredients, and the staff! I love how sweet everyone is! Tonight we got poke bowls and I got noodles! I'm trying the deluxe curry udon with fish cake. Our poke always contains rice for our base, 3 proteins for the regular and we usually do salmon, octopus and shrimp. We love the spicy aioli and unagi sauce. The topping are so playful and will match whatever mood you're in. If you want sweet, try mango and pineapple. If you want spicy, they have jalapeños! For the kids, you can choose 1 protein or pay for more if you want! All I only is this place is delicious and everyone should give it a try. It's sushi in a bowl. Can't really go wrong with it!

This was a fun place to stumble upon. It's absolute chaos inside with all kinds of dollar bills, pictures, t-shirts and other random decorations hung up on the walls. I was surprised at how good their tenders and fries were given the playful appearance. The fried were well seasoned and the chicken came with two different types of BBQ sauce that were very tasty! An interesting dine-in experience but definitely worth trying!

I've been a customer at the same Location for over 20 years. (I think it has changed management more than once). The quality of there muffins has gone down so badly. Their Banana Nut was my absolute fave. It was the bomb. It tasted like my mom's homemade banana bread - super moist, tons of banana flavor, and plenty of nuts. I also use to enjoy the Carrot Cake muffin. It also tasted homemade. I've had both kinds of muffin recently and they were awful. So bad that my husband forgot I didn't like them anymore and he brought me one on Saturday and I refused to eat it. I just couldn't force myself to do it. Both flavor of muffin tasted weirdly the same. They tasted like the same batter/mix was used for both and they actually tasted like it could possibly be the same base they would use for a corn muffin. Both the carrot and banana muffins were dry and tasted almost exactly the same. Both had nuts and the carrot cake one had a weird glaze topping instead of the usual delightful cream cheese frosting. I don't know if the muffin mix comes from corporate like this awful concoction or if it's the franchisee cutting corners to save money, but either way both muffins are a horrible representation of this company. And one other note - the customer service has also gone downhill. I get that on the weekends, it's probably high school kids working that don't want to be there but a company needs to know who they put into positions as their representation of their company. The staff always acts completely put out by customers ordering food. They take no pride in their work. Again, this is just to let the owner know how their employees reflect on their business. Poorly, they reflect poorly....as do the muffins they make.

Simply amazing! I came here with my family while I was home for Mardi Gras and we had the absolute most amazing meal here at Restaurant Rebirth. We started off with the appetizer, Oysters & Angel hair, which was almost too good because it left me yearning for my main entree (Blackened Scallops) which I knew would taste just as amazing or even better. For dessert, we got the café au lait crème brûlée which was to die for! Every single part of the meal tasted extraordinary and you could tell they consisted of some of the freshest and finest quality ingredients. The service was also perfect--our waiter was so caring and knowledgeable about the entire menu. I will definitely be back to Restaurant Rebirth in the near future!

The Black Cat Cafe is a nice little restaurant/cafe set up in a one story structure that looks to be a former house. They have nice breakfast/brunch/lunch options. Service is friendly but a little slow. It seems they have only 1-2 cooks, which accounts for the slow service. The proceeds benefit cat rescue, which is a great concept for a cafe! There is a cat gift shop in the front too. I am highly allergic to cats and was concerned there may be cats that had been in the cafe. My allergies were ok there, so it seems none had ventured indoors. Parking is incredibly limited, so plan accordingly.

We stayed at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside during the Essence Festival so you can imagine how crowded and overpriced it was, but... Check in/ was actually pretty fast. Staff was nice and friendly (I just love the southern hospitality). Room service and vending machines were unusually expensive to me. A burger and fries was $27 and a bottle of soda was $3 out the vending machine. Be sure to go to the store for drinks and take a to-go box from the restaurant, it's much cheaper. Housekeeping came by the clean the room daily, but late in the afternoon. Our view from 941 was nice.

Your typical 'American Mexican' food fare. Prices are great, food is okay but service always seems to be lacking at this location. There are many types of these restaurants around (several El Rodeos) but the handful of times I've been to this one, service has been extremely slow. My most recent experience, I had a carry out order. I was told 10 minutes. got there about ten minutes later. I walked in, there were almost ten people waiting for take out and to be seated. I went to the bar to see if I could pick up my order there since there wasn't anyone up front. They told me I had to go back to the front. Overall, I waited 25 minutes. And by the time I got back to my house with my food, the food was soggy and cold from sitting in queso and beans. For carry out orders, they definitely need to separate certain things. Like my chimichangas shouldn't be sitting in refried beans. And queso should be on the side.

This truly is a five star restaurant.. very impressive.. I have not been in about ten years and my husband and I have been twice this last month. Our service was impeccable and the food fantastic. Presentation amazing and food made with love. And my favorite.. the wine great! We will keep making this a go to for our date night dinners. Our compliments to the chef and staff!

We go to Benihana probably 5-6 times a year because they offer 30 dollar off coupons for birthdays. The hibachi food is always excellent, sushi is pretty good here. Staff is usually not great but decent. Food is priced a little high, but hibachi is always expensive your getting food and a show from the chef. One downfall is the must have chicken fried rice (best thing they sell in my opinion) is still an up charge with a fourty dollar entree. Worth a visit.

Great spot! We had a pretty large group that was handled with ease. As is the standard in this city, the live music was on point! I had the shrimp and grits, which were outstanding! The service was attentive and quick. We had a party of 10 and I got a look at a number of entrees...come hungry! In the end, it was a great experience and I'd venture to say a "must-see" if you come to Nashville.

I had high hopes for my visit to Little Cairo Cafe, but it was a "meh" experience. We came for dinner around 5:30pm on a Friday night, stood around in the entry way and had to call out "uh...hello?" before anyone came out to give us further directions on where to sit. The staff were nice, but seemed pretty green. The spanakopita was good, but my falafel sandwich was lacking :( I asked for it to be spicy and the wait staff told me that wasn't an option. Likewise, the sandwich had giant chunks of yellow iceberg lettuce in it and was really dry. I would say the saving grace were the fries, but the ketchup bottles on the table were so gross and had dried ketchup crusted on them that not even that helped. With The Little India right around the corner and Canal Bistro a few blocks up in Broad Ripple-- I don't think I'll be coming back unless there is a major menu change.

Located in midtown Reno, this restaurant has excellent ratings and so I had been meaning to check it out for a while. We went here on a Sunday evening, and the place was mildly crowded, showing it's popularity. The servers were prompt and we got our table in less than 5 mins. A yelp checkin does get you a free plate of "fish balls", so do not forget that!! Besides that, we ordered garden fresh wraps and Tom yum fried rice- the rice was tangy and a bit spicy which we loved. We went vegetarian and so we asked for tofu with our fried rice and the server obliged. Almost anything can be made vegetarian so do not hesitate to ask. All in all, we were happy with the food. I loved their peanut sauce which comes with the garden wraps, super yum!! Overall, we enjoyed our dinner there, the only thing is the order does take time to prepare to be patient. Otherwise, a fantastic Thai restaurant, would definitely visit again!!

I absolutely LOVE this place. There's many varieties of booths to visit & purchase from. Anything you could think of is at this location. Need wine...they have it. Need a haircut...you can get that too. Hungry??? LOTS OF CHOICES!!! They're only open on fridays & Saturday's. So the weekly anticipation drives the family CRAZY. LOL. If I had a school bus I think my friends would tag along with us!!! Great place.

I did a drop in and got a tattoo from Darien and she was very polite and professional and did a great job. Everything was clean and well prepared. After the tattoo she took a picture and gave me aftercare instruction as well as her business card. The price was very reasonable. I would recommend this location and I'll probably be back to touch up an older tattoo I have. Just a tip, you might want to call ahead and see if the artist accepts cash only or cash and credit. She only accepted cash, it wasn't a big deal as I was planning to pay cash either way but you might be better safe than sorry.

Drip drip!! This place sooo cute. Went here to celebrate my sister. Shared a flight amongst three people. Best decision. We were able to try 4 very delicious flavors. Our favorite was Matcha, Matcha. Omg. There isn't a lot of seating so I wouldn't suggest going with a large group. Very nice place for a date or intimate group of friends 4 or less.

I've been here multiple times for the AYCE sushi, and always spoil myself to the brim with all the rolls, sashimi, and appetizers they have. Whenever I go, it's always at least two full rounds, and by the end, I'm completely stuffed. This is the absolute place to go if you're looking for a good place to eat a ton and not worry about anything else.

Not my favorite dessert place. You don't get much for what you pay for ($6+). The shaved ice is barely there compared to the amount that's offered at Bing's Boba. The flavors (grass jelly, red bean and taro balls) were good but the sticky rice balls were hard in the middle. Will most likely not return to this place.

Fresh meats, sausages, bacon, and the aroma coming from this place was incredible. They have occasional deals which are posted on Facebook which sell out pretty fast. And for good reason. The meals are worth every penny, delicious, fresh and an incredible deal. I ordered the bbq ribs and they were so tender and juicy. One slab was slightly overcooked but for the most part they were amazing. We liked our fingers with every bite. The meals are easily good for 3-4 people. For $24 we got 2 slabs of ribs, hot potatoe salad loaded with bacon and a gigantic portion of coleslaw. At any restaurant it easily would of cost $60 plus dollars. On weekends they smoke some brisket or Montreal smoked meats and I definetly want to try them. I ordereda fresh garlic sausage and it was so delicious with a hint of spice which was perfect for breakfast and in pastas!!! Gotta try this place if you haven't. Its a hidden gem.

Really awesome spot in Carmel. Went for breakfast with my girlfriend's family the other day. I got the Buffon Toast. It was really great but it was not as filling of a meal as I would have liked. Might be something better to be shared between 2 in addition to the meal. Overall a fantastic breakfast spot!

Came here on a business trip with some co-workers and was honestly blown away. The place definitely brings a low key chill vibe. We were greeted warmly and promptly seated at our table. There was already a live band playing which was amazing, they were really good and had wonderful personality. They even called out to people in the restaurant. To drink, I had the LUCILLE which was honestly super delicious. It was a well made drink, everything mixed together perfectly. Almost tasted like juice! To eat, BORN ON THE BAYOU SHRIMP AND GRITS. Oh.my.gawd. It was SCRUMPTIOUS. Honestly the best I ever had. I couldn't believe how good it was. I finished it so quick, I wish they served more. The perfect amount of cheese, shrimp cooked right, all of it was wonderful! I know it's somewhat of a franchise but please stop by if you're in town! I definitely recommend!

We have been coming here since we started dating 30 years ago. The food is good but today it seemed that our Lunch pasta was swimming in sauce and we had to go "hunt" for our noodles. We got Tortellini and Pasta Con Broccoli and both were just drowning in sauce. My hubby asked for a to go box for his leftover sauce and asked if they could add some more noodles to it. Lol. The taste was there but just a little Overboard. The Best is the Fried Cheese, but ask for it the "old" way with garlic butter and lemon.. Our server Kyle was good. Very attentive. We still will come back.

If it wasn't for my friend dragging me out, I think I would have spent my whole time in Philly at this market. Whether you want breakfast, lunch, dessert - this is the place! The place gets super crowded, but there are so many vendors that even with the dozen amount of people in there you don't have to wait as long in line. My favorite thing from the market was the espresso shot in a chocolate waffle cone and tomato basil cheesesteak. The only think I disliked is that it closes so early :(

This place is awesome! The 2 staff members were friendly & welcoming, and got right onto helping me with my AR. This shop has a huge selection of some pretty descent stuff that are reasonably priced. Normally I order everything online... But, for sure this shop is going to be my go to place. 5 stars deserved.

alright, i can't pretend to be a hipster anymore, and admit that i love l'etage. it's a club. sure, it tries to advertise itself as some lounge-y place, but it's not. it's where my friends and i go to dance it out on the weekend. hip hop, 80's, sing-a-long songs...it's terribly fun whilst drunk, i have to say. i can put my stuff in the corner on a chair and dance the night away with not a care in the world. yes, i look like a dork, but who cares? for me, it's like reliving my college days, minus the groping guys.

Don't be deceived by the makeover! This is still owned by the person who bought (and slowly murdered Smees....). We were hoping for a new place so close to home, but when we got there realized it was must a new name and slightly new decor but the same management. The owner purchased a very successful pub and ran it into the ground by cutting corners to lower the food costs. Over time the regulars stopped coming and eventually so did we. When we saw the new name and decor we decided to try it and were greatly disappointed. My husband requested his burger to be well-done. As you can see from the photo - it was pretty far from well done. This is a stunt they used to do at Smees too. My sides were cold and the meat in my grilled pork tenderloin was not only tough, but very poorly trimmed. The decor wasn't well implemented either - oh, and sit in the booths. The fabric seats on the east wall are not user friendly! Our server was great and I hope she can find a better place rather than make a career with this person who will only teach her how to cut corners.

It's a well established fact that McThrill is hooked on indie coffeehouses (who knew?). And since I had already frequented Benn'as on a couple occasions, I've been interested in trying it's squared counterpart. So since Meredith's BBQ extravaganza brought me to the area anyway, I decided to give it a try along the way. Over aside from their being much more space nside, I couldn't see much that was different from Benna's, same artsy staff, same strong coffee, same variety of delectable treats, same price. which is normally good and worthy of the same review grade. However with Black n Brew not too far away, and hooking all of that up plus brunch and breakfast burrito I'm kind of inclined to lean toward them (and not just because I need to stop in and see if my friend Carly still works there!). But B2 was a grand place to sit and read a book in. And apparently I managed to miss out on things like veggie sandwiches and vegan soft serve ice cream. So it looks like I'm set for round two!

I remember a time where legitimate good pizza in Philly was more or less an unheard of. So when places like Pizzeria Stella, Barbuzzo, Zavino, and Santucci's (who I am super belated in reviewing the northeast location of) moved in the area; it was a beautiful revolution that I was happy to be a part of despite somehow slacking on visiting all of the above (So many places to check out overall!). But with Birra opening up less than 4 blocks away from me, and people like TJader of Philadelphia Slick (check them out fool! - http://www.facebook.com/Philadelphiaslick) holding it down for them; it became one of those places that I was destined to hit up sooner than later. and in the end I'm happy to say that I had a taste of that fantastic pie! On my first visit my crew and I went traditional by splitting a Margherita and a Caesar salad, and both lead up to being simplistic tastes of pure decadence. When Vinny and I made it down for a dose of Happy Hour before Beer NN' Board Games 2.0 we were pleasantly welcomed to the Gabagool and its taste of spicy capocollo and cured tomatoes. if you don't feel like going traditional you can order any of its major pizzas in bowl form. or you can order from their list of many panini and plates. But watching them flip the pizza dough in the open kitchen is one of those feats that truly need to be witnessed if your sitting bar side. Beer wise Birra definitely impresses with a tap list that rotates daily, and an amicable selections of cans and bottles. And it especially delivers with its weekday Mangia menua that touts some 1/2 price pizzas; and its late night Salute menu that delivers discounts on drafts, wines, and specialty cocktails!

I came here on a Monday afternoon around 11:15AM and had about a 45 minute wait. It was worth the wait. This place is extremely charming. The staff are really fun and friendly and the food is exceptional for its genre. Both my friend and I had hamburgers. You can't believe how amazing they were. I noticed a family that had just finished breakfast food coveting our burgers and I even over heard them ask their server about them. They reminded me of some of the first burgers I had ever had as a child from a lunch counter. It's been over twenty years since I tasted any burgers as good as they were. Camellias burgers are even better. If you are looking for an amazing burger, look no further! Raye our waiter was so friendly and efficient. Once you do get a seat the food comes quickly. To drink, I had some coffee and a chocolate cherry freeze. The coffee was great. The freeze was amazing. Good thing I had been running because I even ordered bacon on my burger and a side of onion rings (which I split with my friend). I didn't have room for dessert though. If you are looking for exceptional but not expensive diner food in a charming atmosphere this place foots the bill.

Tons of top-roping, lead routes, and space... route-setting and bouldering, just ok. I belong to PRG in Oaks, and have been to the other climbing gyms in the area (PRG Valley, Vertical Extremes, Doylestown), and decided to check out Go Vertical last saturday afternoon with some climber friends. Go Vertical has some advantages and disadvantages compared to the others, but overall I wasn't thoroughly impressed. Maybe I expected too much from "Philadelphia's only rock climbing gym, and the largest of its kind on the east coast". While it's the only gym in the city, there are plenty of other options in the burbs. If I lived or worked in the city, I'm sure I'd join GV. But I work out in KoP, so Oaks it is. In regards to the "largest of its kind" claim, that is probably GV's best asset. There are over 200 routes, and plenty of top-roping and lead options. The lead arch that spans over the gym is impressive, though I didn't do any leading during my visit. Plenty of top rope routes to choose from, and the 50 ft high section of wall was unique. The overhanging bouldering section was small (lots of problems, but close together so only about 3 people could be on the wall at the same time.. I imagine this gets crowded). However, they also have bouldering all over the gym, just watch out for other climbers. I wasn't impressed with the route setting though. Routes seemed unnecessarily difficult and lacked footholds. On easier routes I found myself simply muscling moves b/c there weren't footholds or I couldn't see a clean way to do a move. On more difficult routes for me I'd fall sometimes, not b/c the move was too difficult, but b/c the move was awkward or didn't have sufficient footholds. Not crowded for a saturday afternoon. There were plenty of people there (~30?) but the gym is spacious and we didn't have a problem finding a variety of open stuff to climb. In regards to other yelpers comments: The staff were friendly (only interacted with a girl and guy at the desk), and the ropes and holds did seem on the older/dirty side. Parking note: Apparently they used to own the lot next door, hence the "plenty of free well-lit parking" claim on their site. But Sugarhouse casino took over all the lots, and you can't park there without going to the casino (think they patrol the lots and tow). There's free street parking around the gym, but I can see it being difficult to park during more crowded times.

Shocked that I haven't reviewed this diner sooner as it is one of my favorite places to eat in Largo! Neighborhood diner feel with a pretty expansive menu. The portion sizes are big and you always leave full and happy! The place is decorated with bears all over which add to the charm. The place is always busy which is a good sign and a favorite of many locals. Open for breakfast and lunch I have yet to have a meal I didn't enjoy. My new favorite meal is the open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. They even serve it with cranberry sauce and it reminds me of Thanksgiving! Love this place!

My Husband and I decided to stop into Hook and Press while we were on a Mini-Moon in Santa Barbara. We arrived around 10:15 on a Tuesday. John, the owner, was there and greeted us with a smile. There were plenty of each flavor of donuts left, which I was surprised as it was later in the morning and definitely after breakfast. Score! (Donut shop tip: if you want the full variety of donuts, from any donut shop, you should get there in the morning). I am normally plain Jane when it comes to donuts. I decided to go outside of my shell and ordered the Butterscotch Walnut Brittle. My husband ordered the Maple Coconut Bacon Donut (no pigs were harmed in the making of this delicious donut!). We loved every single bite. The cold brew and Cappuccino also hit the spot. My sister, a few weeks prior, had brought back some donuts from her trip to SB; the Horchata and POG, both equally as delicious as those we tried on this trip, even when a day old (pop those bad boys in the microwave for 25 seconds and they are just like freshly made donuts). We decided to sit on the State Street patio so that we could people watch and enjoy our sugary delights. The ambience of the shop and patio are definitely SB local and it is worth sticking around to enjoy your treat. Thank you Hook & Press, we will be back on our next trip!

We have asked Burgundy Blue to capture over 5 of our important family moments...including our wedding...and we couldn't love them more! I'm so thrilled they are growing as a company without losing their heart. Their skill and professionalism can't be beat! Specifically, I'd note: Ryan is able to be direct but not demanding, speaking with clarity about what he needs in order to get the shot you want.

I've been RE-BIRTH and came back as a FIEN (A FIEN for this place). Ok so let me lay out the scenario.. I'm a super YELPer as I use YELP for just about everything and I contribute accordingly hence my Elite badges. I've been trying to get my husband to utilize the app sometimes in the chance that we want to grab something and I'm showering (just to be proactive). GUESS WHAT?? He took my advice and this is where we ended up. Can you say BEST DAY EVER (in my alien from the animated movie HOME voice).. Our hotel was in walking distance so we trekked over and walked right in to this gem. Immediately we noticed a smiling host and a bat area and a nice intimate dining area which made is nervous because we didn't have reservations. The host ask if we had reservations and we replied NO. He informed us that they were booked for the night however we could sit at the bar and enjoy dinner. Can you say "BEST DECISION EVER"?? We approach the bar and there were only two seats left which we quickly grabbed and the bartender Leonard was so AMAZING he introduced himself and got us engaged in convo with the othersi dining at the bar. We started off with a fried oyster/ creamy mushroom pasta appetizer dish. Oooo Mmmm Ggggg it was ridiculously tasteful. I had this seafood buttery dish with shrimp, crab, garlic, butter, tomatoes, fresh herbs, etc.. No WORDS My husband had a specials dish of Fish over spinach with lump crab and a special sauce drizzled that put it all together. Let's not forget the fresh herbs bursting through with flavor. I also had a Watermelon Mint drink and my hubby a GingerBeer. For dessert we had the most amazing bread pudding to share. We were in town for two more days and since reservations were still booked up we decided to pop in to see our now FAV bartender/server and eat another DELICIOUS dish TWICE more before we left the city and state LoL. This place is a MUST for ANY of our future visits and I will be SURE to make reservations in advance :-)

Pros: Friendly staff, clean restroom. Cons: Expensive uninspired faux Creole food. I ordered the shrimp po' boy meal. The sandwich was served at best luke warm! The bread was thick and heavy- not suitable for a po' boy sandwich and the shrimp-unseasoned battered shrimp that was cool to the touch. The side of fries were barely cooked through and over salted. What a disappointment!!

Riverside Sweets is a perfect place to grab holiday gifts. This quaint candy and ice cream shop in Historic Main Street St. Charles sells homemade fudge, candies, caramel apples, and ice cream. We love the homemade ice cream drumsticks here. I always take some fudge home for later. The candies here are the perfect addition to stockings, gift bags, and gift baskets. You can even grab host/hostess gifts here. Support this local gem in Historic Main Street St. Charles.

This was my first visit to the stadium and I have to say that the layout is rather amazing! I have been to many baseball stadiums and always get annoyed when I cannot figure out how to get to the section but this place makes it simple. The different types of food options they have is great too because they don't just have hot dogs, brats, and nachos. They have donuts, Ben and Jerry's, and even the Impossible Whopper! I know the whole vegan craze has been booming lately but it is impressive when I can get a vegan burger at a baseball game! Now, if only the Ben and Jerry's at the stadium served the non-dairy kind I would be in absolute vegan heaven! The beer is kind of expensive to what I am used to paying at a ball game but hey, I get it. This is the only baseball stadium around so they can charge higher for it. Plus if you are getting a Budweiser at Busch Stadium it is basically getting it where it was brewed lol. The different places you can sit is really cool too! I have never seen where I could pay $10 and sit at a ballgame and not be so far that I can't enjoy the view/food. Although my tickets at section 135 were perfect and I could not ask for better seats! I am so glad this stadium is so amazing and that the Ballpark Village is right behind it so you can enjoy both. Whoever made the design for these places is a hero in my eyes!

You know that feeling when you're looking forward to trying someplace and you pull up, the parking lot is empty and the place down the street has a line? Your spidey senses start tingling and you start to question yourself... yup that's what happened here. We'd driven past the day before on an errand and had to return to this part of town the next day so we thought we'd try it when we came back. Walked in and the place was fairly empty but the crowd seemed like regulars. I'm a sucker for good, hearty, rich breakfasts so when I saw chipped beef on toast (also known as SOS) I wanted to try their version. Nope... not on the menu anymore. I settled for the California omelette, with bacon, Swiss, avocado and tomato. I asked about "Rachel's Taters" and was told they were home fries. I asked it they were prepared with peppers and onions. The answer: Yes, but they could make them just plain. So, it's nice that they are flexible. The home fries were hot and crisp but the omelette was nothing special and the toast made from store bought bread was a little dry. My wife ordered a standard breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage and pancakes. The scrambled eggs and bacon were fine but the really large sausage links seemed undercooked - pretty scary. The pancakes were a little dense and not fluffy like she likes them. I chatted with the server and found out that this place used to be a Jethro's and had been sold.. twice. They had kept most of the same menu items. So, basically, there's nothing original about this place. Because it's way out of the way for us, we're not likely to be part of the regular crowd here.

Background: - Came here on NYE, a Saturday night, winter time. - Party of 2. - Restaurant has been around for 40 years. Overall, I wouldn't be opposed to giving this place a second shot. Seems like they have their ways and are successful since they've been around for 40 years. In future visits I would be more specific about how I want my food prepared. I would also come here only under very casual circumstances...lunch, happy hour, Sunday afternoon food/beer date with friends, or if I just wanted specific seafood and was in the area. I would not celebrate any special occasions here as the atmosphere is plain. Read on for deets. Atmosphere: - Small restaurant. Pretty quiet. About 6-8 tables of varying size total. Orange/warm colored walls. Little to no decor. - Very simple, ultra casual style. Good place to go if you want seafood, but don't feel like dealing with high-end prices or pretension. - They played really romantic-ish music while we were there which was strange for the restaurant since it's very casual and it was NYE. Gave me the impression they tried to make up for the plain walls with the music. - Quiet atmosphere. I could comfortably talk to my dinner date without yelling. - Because of the size of the restaurant, the 2-seater table we sat at was really awkwardly placed. - Clean bathroom. Food: - I ordered 6 raw oysters as an appetizer ($9), and lobster and beef tenderloins for entree ($30). - The oysters were very good. In my mind, it's hard to screw up something raw! They came chilled over ice with lemon and a marinara sauce (standard). Shells about 3-3.5" size - good size. - The entree came with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Lobster was a good size, but not tender enough. Beef was over cooked. Side vegetables were very good. Asparagus cooked right and bright green, and mashed potatoes, standard comfort food fare. Service: - The owner/head waitress/hostess (small place, so not sure) was very friendly. We had trouble spotting the restaurant from the street (it's very small and tucked in between a couple businesses) and called the restaurant for help. The owner saw us at the corner and navigated us to the restaurant over the phone. - Our waiter was very nice, but seemed overwhelmed or distracted. Missed standard cues such as: introducing himself, clearing empty plates or glasses from table, didn't leave us with salt and pepper on the table (had to flag him down), served lobster without drawn butter (had to flag him down). - Spilled my martini on the table. - Waiter also spilled water in front of our table and splashed us. Not too big of a deal, it was just water, but he already striked out a couple times. - I mentioned that the beef was dry and all he did was quickly mumble, "Sorry." Drinks: - Ordered their specialty winter drink, an apple cinnamon martini ($8/9) and then a mango martini ($8/9). - Apple cinn drink was unique, but I wouldn't order it again. - Mango martini tasted like it was made from actual juice. Flavor actually reminded me that of those huge cans of apricot juice. Would not order again.

Wow, there are a lot of 1 star reviews for this place. Normally that would scare us off but a coworker vouched for this place. We have never eaten here before so my review is a result of our single experience with a Postmates delivery. The wings arrived warm, with a crunchy exterior but moist interior. The Asian garlic sauce, Salt & Vinegar dry rub, and the Kickin Bourbon sauce were great. However, the disappointing sauce was the Habanero Mango since it lacked flavor compared to BWW's version. For fun, we got the kids mac n cheese which is just Kraft and some tater tots. Both met expectations. The funnelcake fries desert was ok.

I went to The Cheesecake Cafe as part of a Yelp Event - Yelp Staycation #WildWestYEG. I haven't been to a cheesecake restaurant in a loooong time. I naively thought this restaurant was part of the big American chain "Cheesecake Factory" but I was so wrong. At the beginning of the event we met the owner and she described its history as a locally owned Edmonton family business. It started over 25 years ago in their Calgary location and has been going ever since and expanded to Edmonton, Medicine Hat and Spruce Grove locations. They focus on using quality local ingredients and they care about what they are serving. I was very impressed to hear their history because I just didn't realize they were a local Made in Alberta success. As part of our event we had the opportunity to decorate our own pre-made cheesecakes! If you want to book a great party this is a great idea. We probably had close to 30+ people at our event and it went very smoothly. They provide an already baked cheesecake and all of the fixin's to decorate it up. We had a blast at our event. The cheesecake I ended up with (the marble variety) was exceptionally good! My decorating may not have been near as nice as anything they put out though but it was a great time. If you are looking for a great place for dessert I highly recommend them! I am looking forward to going back and trying some of their non-dessert options and reporting back.

Service has gone to the bottom. This particular Chik-fil-a needs to on "Restaurants on Edge". I can't understand why the line is all the way in the street just to turn around and have the wrong order given to me. The last straw, for me, was not having yogurt parfaits at 8:30 in the morning. You know how your mom says if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it?...sorry mom! Get it together! Some people actually depend on breakfast to carry them through lunch. How do you not have yogurt parfaits at 8:30? "We were short staffed this morning." All I could see was money being lost...where's the District Manager!!!! Help! How about bacon on my sandwich. I don't eat pork...wth? There is so much more to say...this is just MY beginning.

I remember looking at reviews for this place and a lot of people said it was good but I was kinda disappointed. It was probably what I ordered flautas, I love them but I was super disappointed when trying them. The chicken was very dry and had no flavor at all. Just like 3/10. The free chips and salsa were really good in my opinion.The waiter was really nice and attentive. This is just my opinion, I wouldn't recommend ordering the flautas.

Great bagels and cupcakes here for the vegan and gluten free masses. I am happy this place is not too far from the city-it's located in a strip mall in Langhorne/Newtown area not terribly far from 95. I do wish the prices were a little bit lower but glad they have vegan options available here. (I think the bagels were $2.50 each and they were smaller than average bakery bagels).

Honestly, the best locally owned sneaker boutique in Indianapolis. They are the closest store in Indianapolis to have a Tier 0 Nike account (They were the only store to get the Nike Yeezy 2 in the state). The current releases have changed to a raffle procedure the week before the official release. Also, they currently receive a variety of Asics and New Balance shoes that other stores in the state don't receive. It's also the one of the few "street wear" stores in the city, which is evident through their apparel; including BBC, Staple, Hundreds, and others. It's great to have a mom & pop shop like here in Indianapolis so support your locals!

Every time I come here it is phenomenal. The food is 10/10 and the drinks are unique and amazing! The staff is always very kind and we never have to wait long even when they're busy! I always bring my friends here, 317 is such a good atmosphere too and even when there are a lot of people it's not too noisy to talk. The carry out is superb too! Overall, a wonderful experience every time!

Update time....in town for the Yelpy Awards and needed a room for the night but the rooms in NOLA were pretty much all booked due to a major cheer team competition, a Monster truck rally and the ACE Hardware Stores convention...usual travel booking sites weren't really helpful so I went to Hotwire and found a 4 star for $165 which was anywhere from 40-50% cheaper than what was showing up on the other sites...so I took it...even though I had to book it blind... So it was this establishment and this visit has been great...they upgraded my room to a corner suite with a great view (Rm 743)...the suite was the BOMB...King bed comfy as hell, spacious bathroom, couch, chair and ottoman...All in all plenty of amenities and great service from the staff...Free WIFI... Good in house eating options including a Drago's...Immensely enjoyed my stay with the exception of the hotel bar (Spirits) shutting down at midnight...BUMMER!! If the in house options don't interest you then right across the street is Ernst Cafe, Grand Isle (highly recommended), Manning's & Gordon Biersch... 2d time staying here and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to base out of in NOLA...

Cherry Espresso Bar is located inside a building that is more than 100 years old. New Orleans coffee shops are often special places and this is another unique spot to enjoy your coffee and tea. This location next to Wisner Park was previously the old Laurel Street Fire Station and then it later served as a New Orleans Recreation Department Community Center before the city auctioned it off which led to us being able to enjoy some great coffee at Cherry Espresso Bar. They serve some great coffee, tea and other tasty beverages along with a selection of baked goods. This is a great spot to enjoy your caffeine and it has a good variety of seating options both inside and outside. When you find yourself in the mood for some tasty hot beverages you should check this place out. My video review of Cherry Espresso Bar is here: https://youtu.be/iV1AQiz7wc8

My table got so many weird looks from the employees that we couldn't enjoy the food. One employee kept walking by with a disgusted look on her face. They were looking at our food most of the time, but it made us question if there was something wrong with our food. That made us lose our appetite. We were also getting looks from the kitchen. Maybe they were checking us out? Either way that is not the experience we wanted, especially since their tapas are not cheap. We had a reservation, but after being seated it took a while until a waiter came. It was probably about 15-20 minutes before we got water. We ordered a couple drinks, a few of the bites and tapas, and the seafood paella. My favorite was what ever tomato sauce was in the prawn tapa. My favorite was tomato sauce and bread. TOMATO SAUCE AND FREAKING BREAD. Everything else was ehh. Our waitress was nice, but our overall experience was a night to not remember. We were uncomfortable.

Fun time! Really great cocktails and a good cheeseboard. Waitress was really friendly. A hipster vibe, but we showed up when it was pretty dead. Appreciate all the heaters in the cold. The courtyard is so comfortable. Would come here again with a group or even solo. Loved my Sidekick cocktail. Recommend!

My wife and I didn't know that this was a vegan/vegetarian restaurant. I personally didn't enjoy the food that much, but for a vegan/vegetarian restaurant, it wasn't bad. I know if I had dietary food restrictions, I would appreciate what these people are doing here. I got the Umami Mushroom burger. It was not bad. For vegan, so...yeah. Service was really nice, beer was tasty, and being able to see the kitchen work was an added bonus for transparency. Hope you all enjoy this place!

I have been wanting to try this place out. I tried to come on Saturday, but they close at 3:00 and I made it there at 3:20, so I just missed them. Sunday worked out though - I made it there in time after my errands. They are a tiny little place off of Metairie Road, just about across the street from Puccinos. Parking is limited. There are about 2-3 parking spots right in front that are shared with the salon, Glow. Since I came on Sunday, I thankfully had no trouble with the parking as most things are closed Sundays. They have a small walk-up counter where you order. They offer drinks and desserts. When I came, there were only cake pops left, but it looked like they may have had pastries earlier. I ordered my go to drink - an iced latte. It was good. I took it to go as it was a chilly day and I had places to be. They do have about 5 tables in front with chairs and umbrellas if you did want to hang out there. Be sure to get the frequent buyer punch card! I like when places do that.

This place was amazing! From the host taking our names to the servers. Don't forget the amazing food! We are so glad we came and waited, even in the freezing (literally) weather. Our family felt more welcome there than any other place we've ever been. When they say LQBT+ welcoming they mean it! Kids loved it I didn't get any other pictures except my coffee and my sons cinnamon swirl pancakes.

After much deliberation, we decided to try Abe Fisher during restaurant week and were 100% satisfied. Service was exceptional, our waitress was very friendly and we were checked on by multiple staff members throughout the night. They did the thing were they refold your napkin when you step away, which always makes the experience feel extra fancy. We had the Fresh Quince cocktail which tasted like a boozy green juice (yum), and the ultra smokey Gilded Dram. The food was fun and interesting, all twists on traditional Jewish foods. Everything was delicious, no duds here. Standouts were the Borscht Tartare - I have no idea how they made shredded beets so fantastic, it's witchcraft. We had a complimentary dish of the potato latkes delivered to our table, which we had foolishly passed on when making our dinner choices. The latkes were extra crispy and the apple onion sauce made the dish work- don't overlook the latkes like we did! The braised chicken was also unexpectedly good, I almost never order chicken because I find it boring, but decided to based on reviews here. It was extra juicy and flavorful, and the parsnip kugel was perfectly paired. Finally please, please order the Bacon and Egg Cream. It was a chocolatey, salty, bacon-maple slice of heaven and I could eat one everyday. I would 100% stop in just for this dessert on a normal day.

These girls always do a fantastic job on my eyebrows! Followed them from Brow Art at Citrus Park; so glad they opened up their own shop! They're also slightly cheaper than Brow Art! Will definitely continue to bring them my business so long as I'm in the Tampa area!

Awesome bike shop. I walked in an was helped immediately. The owner went out of his way to go over what mountain bike tires would be best for me. He also went over future gear to get for my bike. I will be coming back in the future for my mountain biking gear. The shop is clean and easy to find.

Very glad to have another Mark Estee restaurant in Reno. Like Campo, Heritage works hard to incorporate local, fresh ingredients into it's offerings. Had dinner here at 5:30 on the first Friday of opening week. Food was great and the service was signature Estee impressive. Had the Jamon for an appetizer. Almost as good as you can get it in Spain. Entrees were steak, sausages, and mushroom soup. All were prepared well and exceptional. Highlight was the dessert menu. Our server recommended two very local creations, Baked Nevada and Pinion Tart. We could not decide between the two so we ordered one of each. The Pinion Tart was like a pecan pie but instead made from local pine nuts. Yummy. But the Baked Nevada is not to be missed. Lemony frozen custard on the inside with meringue on top. Highly recommend. Can't wait to return. Campo is still my favorite spot in town, but Heritage is a very close second.

We had the most remarkable experience at House. Supremely attentive, nuanced service. The kind of service that only exists in white-glove exclusive restaurants. Service that shows you what happens when the server does this as a profession, rather than a job. What a treat. Faithful Dining Companion and I ducked into House on a rainy afternoon for lunch. We admit this was chosen over some other Media restaurants because there was a parking spot right in front. Yeah, we can be shallow. It was nice to come into a bright, clean, very beige-and-bare-wood with some cool accents place on a dreary day. This place looks like Crate & Barrel at the Beach. Faithful Dining Companion got the Shiva salad, I ordered a bowl of chili and the King Khan salad. Many happy noises were made about the Shiva salad, and the chili was all kinds of yum. I didn't care for the King Khan salad, though it wasn't the fault of the restaurant. It was I am certain magnificent for what it was, plenty of meat, creamy sauce served on a bed of greens. It's just that the greens themselves had a bitter finish, something the haute cuisine set enjoy but I do not. Now here's the amazing part. Our server, Jose, noticed that I was picking around and at the salad. I did NOT fuss (FDC can back me on this). I didn't even mention to FDC that I did not enjoy the bitter greens. He just, well, observed. He came, asked me if I was enjoying the meal, I said it was fine, he probed, I confessed, he immediately offered me something else, took it off the bill, and refused to take 'no' for an answer when I insisted it was my palate, not the salad itself, that was the problem. For the service alone in this case I'd give it 5 stars. Having said that, the food was awesome, so this is an easy call.

Since I'm now working from home, I'm trying to explore more small local cafes. Cafe flora is adorable. It's busy! Lots of people in and out. Staff is quick and knows their menu. Crepes were delicious as well as the coffee and chai tea latte. They also offer WiFi! I'll be back here to break up my week for sure. Cute spot.

Visiting old city in Philly is definitely a tourist destination but in addition to the tourist sites their are a multitude of Yummie restaurants among cobble stone streets in this part of the city. Walking into Franklin fountain in particular transports you back in time to an old style ice cream parlor from the 1920s. Apart of the charm of this ice cream shoppe is the traditional clothing worn by the vendors and the cash only old "timey" register. But if you frequent philly enough you know to keep cash on hand. Now honestly I am happy with a traditional hot fudge sundae but I would recommend trying the thunderbolt here. They put a pretzel stick in the middle of the sundae which is pretty good twist on traditional sundae. Note it's a small place so it's probably not the best for a crowd.

Stopped here after a failure vendor event for a drink and food. Had the Charbroiled Amberjack, which was delish! Side of a baked potato and broccoli, carrot, zucchini medley (big chunks!) which was perfectly cooked. Sat at the bar and chatted with Ira, the friendly bartender. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Hopefully, they won't be out of the grilled octopus!

I used to like coming to this restaurant, but the last four times I have been here, the service has been terrible. I don't understand how it still gets so full, the wait time can be over an hour long at times, and they won't let you make reservations. They are super unorganized with their seating and will seat people that have come after you, or leave tables completely empty and not seat anyone. I have been denied mussels due to a "town-wide shortage of mussels," which was a lie, we have been denied long rolls being made into handrolls. The last time I came here, we had a party of six, and ordered two orders of each mussels for each of us, as it is stated on their menu, on each of the mussels (baked and cooked), that it is two limits per person, but the server told us that it was combined, not separate, so she brought us less. None of the servers are friendly, or smile, NONE, and maybe one hostess is friendly, at most. They all just seem so unhappy in their job, and in the way they treat customers, which leads me to believe the owner must be a terrible boss who does not appreciate them, or maybe underpays them, who knows! After experiencing such bad customer service over and over, I have no desire or intention to come back to this sushi place. I've had enough, and there are plenty of other sushi places where people welcome you and your patronage, and where the sushi is way better than here.

This is a cute little market. If you are Filipino, then you know Seafood City. I don't think there is a Seafood City located in Reno, but this place comes close offering the basic necessities for Filipino's and for foreigners up for a little adventure in their lives. They offer a variety of Asian snacks, foods, drinks, home goods and beauty supplies. They don't have regular carts but have baskets on wheels which are located by the entrance. It might be hard for the elder shoppers to reach down into the cart but I don't think that would be a problem because the people who work here are very nice. There are frozen, packaged fish in the back, and a little area for produce that you may not normally find in a regular supermarket like okra, and Filipino baked good fresh from California. If you own your own business, they do have some spaces up for rent. There is eyebrow threading for $8bucks here too! Will be coming back again!

Old fashioned donuts is right. Federal Donuts is steps beyond the mass produced chain donuts. Sadly, I did not get the full experience with Federal Donuts. Had I known how quick the "cool" or "fancy" as they call them donuts sell out, then I would have been there MUCH-MUCH earlier. Also, their wings were already sold out for the day. No Bueno for me as far as the chicken. Perhaps in a future trip. We left with a stack of their most standard donuts and headed back to the hotel and they were pretty good. A LOT of sugar, seasonings, and even some salt in there. I like the vibe of this place. The seating is different, but not atrocious by any means. If you want fanciful fixings, then why are you even here? They sell donuts and chicken for Christ sake. Federal Donuts, you were good. Not the best, but worth the stop. Diggin' the music and laid back crowd.

So I've had sushi maybe ten times in my life, and finally I decided I'm just not a sushi fan. Years have passed and I've lived without it, until today. Today I was prodded into trying it again and I thank the heavens I was. This place is amazing! Huge portions, fast service, high quality ingredients. I've seen the light and will go nowhere else, only Mr Sushi! I'm a fan!

As we expected, we liked some of their products better than others. All were good, but some were better eaten sooner than later or at their shop with a good coffee. Ones we liked the best: Poppyseed rolls-wonderful when warmed in tin foil, jam rolls-keep well and need no warming, Jam roll keeps well and is our favorite sweet of theirs. Best eaten sooner than later: Turkish bagel, baklava.

This is now one of two Starbucks in the shopping district (another inside Fry's). Being my closest Starbucks, I have come here numerous times for a hot cup of Joe. There's some seating outside and it's small inside, but it's a Starbucks, so you know what you are getting. Never had a complaint or any issues, just hot coffee and tea!

I went in for an eye exam and to get new glasses on June 10. I was told it would take two weeks to get my glasses in, ok. I called two weeks later, on the 24th, was told my glasses were "in finishing" & should be back Mon or Tues. I called again on July 1; I was told I would be called back with an update. Nothing. Today, I went to pick up my glasses (after calling a 4th time and leaving a VM) & they just handed them to me. NO time to see if they fit across the nose, NO time to see if they fit across the ears, NO time to see if they were helping me see. Is this the way they treat Medicaid patients (which I am) or the way they treat EVERYONE? I would never recommend a friend to this place. Friendly & clean, but ultimately ineffective & untrustworthy.

So good! We waited in a long line but eventually got in, super worth it. I got the nasty princess-spicy fried chicken, sausage gravy on a biscuit. Definitely amazing and the best biscuit I've had. We need to go back and try the other items in the menu.

I think this is the worst hotel I have been to. It's smells like smoke, the floors are sticky, the beds have stains on them! I only came here because of the pool and when I checked in they said the pool was open. I went to my room and changed then when I went to the pool it was closed. I'm am very disappointed in this hotel.

This moving company is absolutely $%^&^%%$horrible. They lead us to believe they were going to move our family to our new home. They called us several times stating that they needed to establish a flat rate because we were moving out of state and that someone would call us back. This was after they ha quoted us a flat rate of $179 an hour. We contacted them a day before the move and they told us that we were set for the move. And then on moving day they did not show up. When we called they continued to state that the left us an email and a voice-mail. Of which myself or my husband never recieved. Also I don' think the movers are vaccinated. So be careful do not trust your family or your sons with this company. Horrible customer service and a ton of lies about what they can offer and what they actually provide. They left us stranded on our moving day!!!!@@ this is unforgivable

This is a fun bar and burger joint that is Asian-owned and run. We loved our DELISH burgers made to order and placed on a brioche bun. MMMM. I am a fan of shoestring fries and felt they could be crispier but were decent. We look forward to returning and trying their other burger concoctions. Oh they have Hoeegarden (Dutch) beer on tap. SUPER DELISH with HOT burger!!
