Q: My husband and I celebrated my birthday at the Pub and Grill today. We didn't have reservations and did not have to wait for a table ( we arrived about 12pm) . Our water glasses were filled right after we were seated and our waiter came in less than five minutes to show us the drink menu on the I Pad. Joe ( our waiter) suggested a beer for my husband who is not a beer drinker and he made an excellent choice. I had a Salted Caramel apple martini which was delicious. The drinks came promptly. Joe then came back and took our order remembering I was talking about having the fish and chips. The food came sooner than I expected. My husbands mussels and clams were done to perfection! My order of fish and chips was soooo good I ate everything! I even would have enjoyed a bigger portion of the mushy peas. Our table was bussed promptly and Joe asked if we wanted the Sticky toffe pudding for dessert......ummm YES! I even got a candle to blow out! Overall I would recommend trying this place out. Our waiter was attentive and made great suggestions...I am not a drinker by any means and I am usually too full to finish my dinner let alone have dessert....everything about our lunch was a wonderful experience! Chef would be pleased!

Q: I'm not a fan of used media stores. As a serious movie buff, I always go into places like this with high hopes, thinking I can score a rare find or a blu-ray for a great deal. Alas, that never happens. Know your prices before you go, I didn't see any deals at all. The place still sells VHS video tapes (and for super cheap), although I don't know anyone who still owns a VCR to play them. The store space is just too big and as a result, the shelves look empty and sad. And how many copies of 'Bridesmaids' on DVD does one place need? Yawn.

Q: I stopped in at Quizno's for lunch, not because I love Quizno's, but because I had a gift card. I remembered why I don't love it. The service was slow and not especially friendly, and the food is barely "ok". I had the "choose 2 combo" with the Turkey Pesto Bullet (I think? it's the smaller sandwhich thing) and the tomato basil soup. The Turkey Pesto was mostly bread, which was falling apart. The soup was bland, even after the 2 packets of salt and pepper I dumped in. The only thing I really like about Quizno's - the pepper bar - I love jalapenos and hot peppers and I love that I can serve myself and put as much or as little as I want on. Other than that, I really don't see what all the hype is about Quizno's and how they're able to open up shop what seems like on every corner of the Valley? Maybe I'm just not ordering the right things. Oh well.

Q: I was really excited about trying this place. The website and menu look great. When my daughter and I entered the restaurant, we couldn't believe all the 60s decor. The menu really has a wide variety. With games on the table and music in the background, I was ready for a great meal. Now the problems begin. Cleanliness must not have been a priority in the 60s, especially for this place. The tables and floor was filthy. I ordered a patty melt and onion rings. The patty melt had a decent flavor. The meat was good but VERY greasy. When I picked up my burger, most of the chopped onions fell out. I ate the entire burger with the assistance of a fork. The onion rings were terrible. Dripping with grease, no flavor, and over cooked, I only ate two. My daughter was disappointed in her chili burger. When we told the waitress of our concerns, she brought us the bill. I give most restaurants two or three chances. Not this one.
