Q: I am not a fan of most chain restaurants but Cheddar's is actually pretty good. Cheddar's is family oriented and entertaining for children which is great because I know they can get antsy when kept waiting. Cheddar's has a huge paddlewheel fan in the middle of the restaurant that looks like some kind of Orwellian/Da Vinci contraption and a massive saltwater aquarium that even I think is super cool to look at. The service has been good in my experience and the food is decent too. One thing that really stands out on the menue is the chicken strips/fingers. I honestly think that Cheddar's may take the number one spot in all of Charlotte for this particular dish. The meat is very tender and juicy. You actually get whole chicken strips with crispy breading (not fraken chicken like a McNugget) . The portion you get is just massive; and I am lucky if I can get a third of the way though most times. A good tip: If you take the chicken strips home because you can not eat them all, try broiling them when reheating. Broiling will keep them crispy and heat them through all the way. Just don't go too high on the temp. or take your eye off of them or they will burn. OPTIONS:

Q: I had been researching local places that did boarding and day care. I looked up a few on Google and visited a few that interested me. A few of them were dirty and just seemed to not have great regard for the dogs. I visited Furshire and liked it and it seemed nice enough for my dog. I even ended up visiting a second time as my wife wanted to see the place before we took our puppy there. I brought my puppy there to stay for the day just to see how she would do and get some socialization. One of the things I liked was they told me on both visits that they kept them in small groups of 3-5. When I called to check on her later on in the day, I was told she was with 9 other dogs. I was also told that somehow her foot had been run over with a chair. She apparently couldn't put any weight on it. I was distraught, but had to get through the rest of the day before I could go pick her up. I got there at the end of the day and they told me that she couldn't put any weight on her foot and carried her out to me. My 17 week old Golden Retriever looked horrible. She was shaking and scared. She seemed very weak. I immediately inspected her and checked if her foot was tender to the touch. She seemed not to feel any direct pain. I did not let her walk at all and carried her right out to my truck. I immediately headed straight to our vet. I let her down when we got there and let her walk so I could see how bad it was. It was worse than I thought. She could put no pressure on it and was limping horribly. The Vet inspected her and said he could see no immediate damage and wanted to do an X-Ray. I am usually leery of Vets and any extra charges and without knowing what really happened, I went ahead and had him do the X-Ray. It ended up she had strained the ligament near her knee. Of course this cost me 250 dollars to find out. The money bothers me, but the health of my dog bothers me much more. To watch this puppy that I love that was so vibrant and always ready to play, now just limping around my house is heartbreaking. She will be fine in a few days, but that doesn't make me feel any better. We walk every morning and every night without fail. Now that isn't possible for a few days and it just compounds matters that she has all this energy and I am trying to restrict her movement. Could it have been a freak accident? Of course, but then again I have no way of knowing. I don't think a 9 to 1 ratio really engenders good supervision. Overall, I would advise to stay clear of this place. OPTIONS:

Q: When we first moved to Maricopa we visited the limited choices of dining options in town. The first time at Great Wall was a major disappointment. Then we heard that they had new owners about a year ago; so we gave it another try. They since added a buffet and remodeled a bit. What a great improvement! The buffet alone would rate 3 stars, but if you order from the menu and get fresh prepared entrees, the quality of the food is delicious. The serving staff is very charming and attentive to customers. BTW. If you are eating from the buffet and an item is running low or out, you can inform the staff and they will make another fresh batch. OPTIONS:

Q: I was a little disappointed when I ate at the House of Leng. I had a pretty large order that consist of a family of four and $60 worth of food. I felt bad because the family wanted to eat at another local Chinese restaurant and I insist on this place which I thought was going to be REALLY GOOD. I was wrong. I haven't been here in a couple of yrs. It was really good back then.I don't know if they changed management but I will not be returning back. I ordered the shrimp and broccoli w/ garlic sauce and brown rice. Is it me but how come when I ask a Chinese restaurant for brown rice they think I'm talking about fried rice. NO!!! The rice was kind of hard and stale. The shrimp and garlic sauce was a bit on the salty side. The rest of the food that the family ate was nothing to write about. You would think since it's conventionally located in a popular shopping plaza they would keep you coming back for more. Sorry house of Leng I'm no longer a fan. Where can I get some descent Chinese food in north Charlotte? OPTIONS:
