An example of an negative review: I am not sure exactly how I feel about Firehouse yet. I feel like I need to go back and have a redo, for my first impression might be a wee bit biased. I stopped here for my sister and decided to go ahead and try it out. She loves it and cant get enough of it. I ended up ordering 4 sandwiches for me and my family. Unfortunately, I think at this time they were a little under staffed for there were a lot of people waiting in the dining room and the 2 employees working, were rushing like crazy. I ended up waiting 20 minutes for 4 sandwiches. I was in a hurry, so I was super annoyed, so this might be why my review is biased. When I finally got home, I felt like my sandwich was mediocre, nothing to rave about. A ton of people say Firehouse is WAY better than Quiznos or Subway....... but at those places I have never waited 20 minutes for a mehhhh sandwich. My family loved their subs, but my turkey, ham and bacon sub, was just meh. This place is right down the street from my house and my sister eats here once a week, so Ill have to give it another try and see what happens. First visits aren't always the best, so you always owe it to yourself and the business to try again, because you never know. Well unless everything about the first visit was horrible. Haha!

An example of an positive review: I love their spicy beef and tendon noodle soup. It comes in this bowl that looks small in circumference but is deep, so it's a lot of food. The noodles are cooked just right, beef could be a bit softer, but there's very little fat in it, and the broth is hot and spicy. There's only a few places I go in town to get my beef noodle fix, and this is on the top of my list. If you don't speak Mandarin or look Chinese, I find that they tend to make the soup less spicy because they don't think you can handle it, so ask the waitress to make the soup super spicy. They have a wide variety of Taiwanese dishes, ranging from breakfast to lunch items. I haven't tried their breakfast, so I can't comment on it. But they do have the typical Taiwanese appetizers and dishes, such as pig's ear, oyster pancake, and pork chop rice. The only dish I'm not a fan of is the noodles with the spicy peanut sauce, only because it tastes like peanut butter and chili garlic sauce mixed together. Service is on the lackluster side, they like to assume that if you look Chinese, you must be able to speak Mandarin and nothing else (like Cantonese). If you want water, you have to go to the water dispenser to get some. There's usually only one waitress working, so if you don't want to wait to pay for your bill, it's better to just go up to the register and do it. Also, there's a minimum $10 order if you're using a debit or credit card. Overall, Yi Mei has some great Taiwanese food but their service could use some improvement.

An example of an negative review: This place is about as bad as it gets. We went on a groupon at lunch time. The place was empty. I know why. The best way to describe the food is SLOP. You get a foam carry out tray loaded with potatoes, macaroni salad (who does both in one meal--carb overload) and Trident ingredients--chicken, beef, etc. (or whatever you've chosen) along with some soupy chili-type stuff. It looked and tasted like vomit. It was SO AWFUL that we dumped most of it out. Even the lemonade tasted like cleaning fluid. Since I'd purchased two groupons and only used one this time, I called them and explained the situation and they refunded the second one. I can't image this place staying in business long.

An example of an positive review: It's been a long time since I've had a really good, knock off my boots and keep them off!!!, ribeye. This place really surprised me with the quality of their steak since it's mostly famous for it's stone crab. -bone-in ribeye: Yah, I splurged for the bone and honestly, I don't know if it would've made a difference. I've noticed with other places that the meat next to the bone is usually a bit more tender than the rest of the steak but it really didn't matter here. Every piece of meat I ate was just as good as the last. -dover sole: This thing was A-MA-ZING! Cooked perfectly and the brown butter sauce on the side was so decadent. My only gripe about this dish is that they took the belly, and all the tasty little bones away =( My little heart cried when the waiter took that platter away ='((( -swordfish with mint pesto: This was a special that night and it was overcooked. My friend really should've sent it back for a new one but she didn't. The presentation was lovely though. -creamed spinach: This was very good. It had a good spinach flavor and wasn't overloaded with cream. -Jennie's potaoes: Honestly, I don't see the draw of this dish. It was just whipped potatoes and it seemed to have lacked butter and salt in it. -mac and cheese: This was okay, loved that they used shells though =d -oysters on a half shell: Their shucking skillz weren't too bad. Only about 3 of the 12 oysters on the plate were stabbed to death and I had some shell shards in 1 of my oysters so that was good. They were offering French Kisses and Kushis that night. The Kushis defintely stole the show with a slight sweet buttery taste to them. They also come with little Tabasco bottles that are uberly cute! And a migonette, which was nice but a tiny spoon to get the liquid onto the oysters would've been greatly appreciated hah! -brownie a la mode: This was a tasty brownie. I don't normally like brownies but this brownie was amazing mmmmmmmm All and all, I would definitely come back here when their stone crabs are in season and splurge all over again =)
