Problem: Been meaning to review this place for ages. I took a bunch of people that know what a good steak is here and none of us came away disappointed. The Gigantic tbone and the 400g sirloin in particular were the highlights I think. For value for money, service and great food this is definately my favoutite steak restaurant. I compared the prices of tbones with some other restaurants around the town I have eaten in recently and it really doesnt compare this is it for me. The dishes ordered were: - Tres Carnes. Three types of steak on one plate looked great and massive thumbs up. - Bife con heso gigante. The gigantic tbone... this was what i ordered the first time I visited and many visitslate and my order still hasnt changed. - 400g Sirtloin. this was impessive and gobbled up surprising quickly. :D - Beef kebab. never really been keen on kebabs but this looked very nice. Everything is served with a baked potatoe / chips and s side salad, so the prices are inclusive. They have a veg option too, but our token veggie couldnt make it along this particular evening. Only reason for not giving this five stars is the beer selection. I dd not look at the wine menu but beer and spirits were limited. I think it was Fosters as the only draft option.

Problem: While waiting for my daughter to finish a magic the gathering tournament at the nearby Little Shop of Magic, I wandered into Carlos' Kitchen and the connected Spectator's bar I will review Specator's separately. The menu in both locations is supplied by Carlos. Carlos is a former instructor at Le Cordon Bleu and I am glad he came out to discuss Burger philosophy and general cooking techniques with me. He truly loves the art of cooking and I enjoyed meeting him. I started with onion rings which were lightly battered and fried to a golden glow. The batter was unlike other batters as it had a sweetness to it. I followed the rings with a bacon cheddar burger. Now I have been searching for a truly great burger since I moved here. I ordered the burger medium (I knew I was in for a treat as most places don't even ask). The burger was perfectly cooked Angus beef with just the right amount of pink without being undercooked. Carlos takes pride in the quality and flavor of the meat and it shows. The bun was crisp on the outside and soft inside and the cheese was melted so it covered the top and sides but didn't fall out onto your hands. This is one of the best burgers in the area and the price is right. Burger, fries and onion ring appetizer cost me only $17.00. I can't wait to come back and sample some of Carlos' other creations. This is a diamond in the rough. Don't miss your chance to meet Carlos!

Problem: I love Italian food, and I love Mama Ricotta's, so that should tell you something. Mama's (as my friend's call it) is kind of unassuming, placed as it is in a strip mall-type of place. The restaurant itself isn't very large, which can make for some crowded times during dinner and, somewhat surprisingly, lunch. The food is outstanding however. The pasta is homemade, and the garlic knots are a must. I am a big fan of the angel hair and the lasagna. Some dishes may be a bit pricey, but at least you are getting quality for your money. If you are an Italian fan and a bit tired of the chain restaurants such as Olive Garden and Carabba's, you should take a chance and check out Mama's.

Problem: Oh God I wish I would have read these reviews before I came here. Worst experience ever. I ordered my food over the phone and was told it would be done in 20 minutes. We got there in 30 minutes. As we were about to pay, my husband saw a guy in the kitchen drop a bag a fries on the floor, which spilled out all over the floor, scoop the fries back into the bag and then dump them into the fryer. My husband said something to the cashier, ("did he really just do that?") and the woman got so pissed. She told him he must not know what he had seen and that the guy definitely threw the fries in the trash, not the fryer. My husband started to dispute it with her but I told him to leave it alone. We didn't order fries anyway and I'm starving. The woman WOULD NOT let it go. She kept going on and on about it even though we said it was fine and we just wanted our food. Even though we were there after the time they said it would be done the woman said with a smirk that it wasn't ready yet. We sat down in the dining area and waited ANOTHER 20 minutes. I finally go to ask the same woman how much longer it would be. She ignores me the first time and the second time I said something she just told me give her a minute and went on ignoring me. I sat back down and waited another 10 minutes before I finally asked her as she walked by if she had time to talk to me yet. She looked at me blankly. I said, "When. Will. My. Food. Be. Done." She smiled condescendingly and said "10 more minutes" she was obviously very pleased with herself. I told her to keep that shit, got my money back and left. NEVER AGAIN!
