Sentiment analysis: I wanted to give this place a single star, but the coffee was good enough that I felt guilty doing so. That being said, this was by far the filthiest cafe I've ever seen. I literally changed tables 3 times before finding one that wasn't sticky or entirely covered with crumbs. There was food and trash scattered all over the floor (including a half scone laying forgotten near the entrance). There was only one other customer there besides myself, yet the employees stood behind the counter chatting instead of picking anything up. I came here to have some coffee and read my book, and ended up having to leave after finishing a single chapter because the hoards of flies buzzing around my croissant made it hard to concentrate on my reading. After swatting at one and noticing a veritable fly graveyard on the windowsill, I decided enough was enough and hit the road. The coffee was actually quite good, but the atmosphere was miserable. If you do choose Barriques - get it to go.

Sentiment analysis: Holy cow! Best steak ever! After hearing so many good things about the crab cakes, we decided to start with that. It was very good, had big chunks of crab and the sauce was delicious. We ended up using the bread to sop up all the sauce. The waiter came back to a shiny clean plate. I had the Porterhouse and my GF had the Prime Strip. Both of our steaks were perfectly cook, perfectly seasoned. The blue cheese mac-n-cheese wasn't bad either. Definitely my favorite steakhouse. Good: Almost everything, esp the steaks! Bad: No locations in nor-cal! Ok: Service was not the best but it wasn't bad at all.

Sentiment analysis: Having not visited a Carl's Jr. for a number of years, I stopped in today for lunch to see how it's measuring up to the current competition. I love a big, tasty burger, so I ordered a "Six Dollar Burger" in the Guacamole Bacon variety, with Onion Rings & a Chocolate Malt to go with it. The way they have the pricing structured here is that if you want Onion Rings instead of Fries, and/or if you want a shake or malt instead of a soda, there is no Combo discount at all... they ring everything up ala carte. That made this lunch EXPENSIVE at just under $12.00 by the time it was over. It had better be good! The dining room has a few booths as well as tables, but both the floor plan and the decor are pretty awful. There was only one booth in the whole place that I would have called a somewhat comfortable place to sit, & the one other customer was sitting in it, of course. Also, there was no escaping the two TVs. The bathroom didn't have any paper towels, only one of those stupid air blowers, so I dried my hands with half a dozen ass gaskets, used them to pull the door handle, & then threw them on the floor, since there wasn't a waste basket anywhere in the room. Back at the table with my food, both the Chocolate Malt and the Onion Rings were ok, not great. Then the burger, which I expected to be delicious given the price and ingredients, was BLAH! Both the bacon and the cheese were thinner than paper-thin, and the supposedly Angus burger patty wasn't tasty at all. Could it be that this franchisee is sneaking in cheap beef? Just a thought. In any case, this burger was a real dud for the money... nowhere near as good as what you get at Smashburger, Five Guys, or any number of other places. Even IN-N-Out's Double Double at only $3.30 blows this thing completely out of the water! Sorry Carl's... it's "never again" for me. :-(
