A: I really enjoy this place! My husband and I have been searching for a great Mexican place since we moved here (2 years ago) and this is it! I've been 3 or 4 times and have taken out of town guests here as well. I LOVE the tacos. They are incredible. Prices are very reasonable. My husband generally orders a burrito of some sort and the quesadillas are way bigger than my kids can eat. I have two kids (1 and 3) and I'm glad I don't have to worry they are going to break anything (there's nothing to break..) - plus they do have high chairs! We found it by looking at the Diners Drive-in's and Dives website. We have yet to be led astray by Guy Fieri!
Q: negative

A: The bathroom is disgusting, it should be check on regularly, especially when there are 3 of you working an no one actually doing anything and you're not busy. As far as service and product, it's Starbucks.

Answer: So my first visit to this place, my girlfriend and I were meeting to catch up. She has been here before and i anticipate bringing my husband if all is good. I am very excited. We arrived right when they opened, so to see the influx of people appearing at the door after we were seated was encouraging. Service was fine and basically what you would expect. I ordered the catfish po boy and fries. Nice soft bread, lettuce, tomatoes and a tasty sauce...but where's the fish????? I mean would you pay 11.00 bucks for a McDonald size fish filet split in half? I did ask our server if this was the normal portion, and apparently so. I was more disappointed cuz I've so wanted to report back home how good things were and plan a second trip with my hubby. I was also still hungry. my Po Boy was "very po" and lacked flavor too. But I give anyplace a second chance. But I have a plan. I'll order the catfish platter and some bread on the side and hope my hubby has a different experience. This is my very first post, so Lola's at least inspired me.

output: I have to say, I am amazed at the good reviews this place gets. But, then again, I know that the average Las Vegas visitor is all about the glitz and, well - taste isn't exactly the strongest of traits . . .usually. I'll have to keep telling myself this because it is the only way to explain some of these reviews. We popped in on Tuesday evening, May 8th, 2012 . . . the menu looked interesting, and since my Vietnamese partner had not really enjoyed the food offerings of Las Vegas to this point, we decided to give this supposedly fine Chinese restaurant a go . . . I guess it should have been a hint when there was no wait and no need for reservations. And, that's even with it having an amazing view of the Bellagio fountains right outside its windows. (I went to their website to find the exact dishes on their menu, but they only seem to have the brunch menu and a special mother's day one - so, sorry). We started with some appetizers - the spring rolls (which were bland, nothing special and weren't a far reach from frozen ones) and, we ordered a side-order of the Chinese broccoli - which was cooked fine, but again, nothing special - just plain, steamed with no seasonings at all. Meh. My partner ordered the tofu dish - (which is in one of the photos posted on Yelp.com) . . . . small square cubes of tofu in a sauce which was supposed to be spicy . . . it was not. When my partner pushes a dish away and is quiet, I know it is below par (it doesn't happen often). I am not a tofu fan, but I tasted the sauce, or at least attempted to taste it - because, frankly, it had almost zero flavor. I've never tasted a more bland sauce. Another member of our party and I ordered a whole fish dish that was fried (sorry I can't remember the name of the dish, but I believe it was the only fried fish dish on the menu). The fish was fried nicely, a rather pedestrian batter, but nicely done - a tad overcooked, but at least fresh. But, the sauce. The "fresh" tomato sauce. Seriously, it tasted like dollar-store ketchup with a little white vinegar and maybe a splash of Hoisin sauce. It was definitely not made fresh - and was so ketchupy that it was really horrible. I want to say, I cannot remember in my years of eating in all sorts of restaurants and cafes all over - I cannot remember EVER complaining about a meal. And, again this time, I sucked it up and ate my fish, trying to avoid the sauce - but, I really couldn't stand seeing my partner not eating anything after only a couple of bites. The waiter was obviously not pleased, but he did allow him to reorder - pushing hard for the chow mien, which he ordered. This dish was so salty that it was inedible. (I had to later take him to an all night diner just so he didn't have to go to bed hungry). The waiter was not happy at the prospects of THIS dish also not being acceptable. He said he would talk to his manager - and came back and said that his manager said that everyone could have dessert (pre-selected, not our choice) - on the house. We didn't want dessert and politely asked that my partner's meal be taken off the check. Instead of responding - he kept trying to place the dessert in front of my partner. When we said no, he finally came back and said the manager had taken it off the check. Now, about the manager - I don't know if it was Mr. Roberto Liendo as listed on their website or if it was someone else. What I do know is that he is a total coward. Have the courtesy to come to the table and talk to us about the meal - especially since everything was so sub-par (we did tell the waiter about the fish, but did not ask for it to be removed from the check). Considering the prices of this food - anyone would expect that the food be extraordinary - or at least above par. This wasn't even as good as most take-out Chinese restaurants. Oh, the place is beautiful - but, that's the only value to this place based on our visit. A horrible experience and I would highly suggest that if you are reading this review while trying to decide where to eat - pass this one up - you can go outside to see the fountains.

A:
It's not quite the old-fashioned BBQ shack that its decor indicates its trying to be, but the BBQ is still tasty and the service is top-notch. Ate here (Steele Creek location) with a large group for lunch on a Saturday. There was plenty of seating available and our waiter wrangled our large group very well. I had the Carolina-style pulled pork, which was perhaps the most important test of the day (other than the sweet tea, see below). I must say the BBQ was quite good: tender, not too wet/not too dry, and great flavor. The portion I got was pretty healthy, too. The sides were a little underwhelming, mostly because of portion size but also they just seemed to have been thrown together. My collards were cooked well but weren't spectacular and the onion rings seemed like they came from Sysco. A word about the sweet tea. I am cutting down on my refined sugars these days, so I can't really down the sweet tea like I used to. That said, I still order it when I get BBQ because the flavors pair so well. I just have to take a few small sips instead of gulping it down. With that disclaimer, I can say that the Jim N' Nick's sweet tea is about average. I've had better, and I've definitely had worse. It does the job. It's great to have Jim N' Nick's in the Charlotte where there's a surprising dearth of good BBQ.
