You must visit this restaurant!!! The food is way above average and prepared with such care. The chef is superior and his wife and daughters are delightful. I have loved everything I have ordered here, and so has my husband. We travel all the way from Blue Bell, PA, to get there and it is so well worth the trip. And, yes, it is a BYO.

It was the end of a long day of French Quarter Festing when we decided that the sun and the walking had gotten to be a little too much and we needed some serious food. This was more hunger than a sample from a fest booth could handle, so we wandered over to Port of Call, since I had never been and my PIC insisted that I try it.
We got here around 5 and, of course, there was a line. However, we decided to just wait for a spot at the bar to open up because I actually like sitting at the bar, and who wants to wait an hour for dinner? Sure enough, after waiting about 20 minutes, we were happily seated at the bar and ordering our food.
I got the cheeseburger topped with everything, including a nice pile of cheese and I got the baked potato topped with everything including bacon bits. The cheeseburger was delicious! Granted, I am speaking from the vantage point of someone who was starving, but I found it very fresh, cooked perfectly and "hype" worthy. The baked potato was good as well, but I think next time I won't get bacon bits only because they didn't really "do it" for me.
The staff here is super friendly and cool and, considering the crowd they are dealing with, they get to you really fast- we didn't have to wait to order once we were ready. Although Company Burger still holds onto it's spot for "Marielle's favorite NOLA burger", I will definitely be back to Port of Call. I have yet to try one of those monsoons- once I made it here after FQF I was no longer in the mood for sugary drinks. Next time.

We stumbled upon this place and had really high hopes
We had to wait forever for our food and it wasn't really worth the wait
Don't expect we will return

Good soft pretzel spot that is no frills. Just a plain take out window, but they have a production side that must pump out hundreds of pretzels...possibly thousands if they have other places that purchase they're product.
It was really fresh and soft. It's not a philly pretzel. They have more salt and are thicker. These are thin and flavorful. I enjoyed it and will definitely be back.
They don't charge for cheese, mustard, or other toppings which I think is pretty sweet.

I absolutely love this place! The service is quick but not hurried, and the pho is spot on! Great broth, nice fresh sprouts and herbs, delicious proteins and great spring rolls.
I even ordered food to go and the packaging was perfect. Cold sides wrapped separately, warm noodles and brisket in another container then soup in it's own vessel. All accompanying sauces were included. I can't wait to try a few different menu items they've all been fantastic so far! Five stars for a job well done!

The newly remodeled store doesn't make up for the low quality food. With so many options around it makes me question why we ever go to Wendy's. Extremely disappointed.

Our waitress was great she kept our ice tea full but my chicken tenders were dry and a little over cooked. There wasn't enough honey mustard left to dip in after the 3rd tender. The cheese steak egg rolls were very good. They were backed up in the kitchen was but not to bad. They were also out of mint so we couldn't order the Mojitos we wanted. Their Wrap was good but they forgot the monkey dip and had to wait a few minutes for it. The Fish tacos were good but no where near the best we ever had. Inside was cool and comfortable but table was a little cramped. One of our chairs was broken and we had to swap it out. It was 7pm on a week night and very loud. It sounded like I was in a 20's something bar and not a cafe. I would sit outside next time. Prices were a little steep. They must think they are in Center City with above average food but they are neither.

Awful meal. After one bite threw out dumplings which were doughy lumps of dog food. Hong Kong duck inedible. Wontons in soup were just like dumplings. Egg rolls were mediocre. Candy walnut chicken looked artificially colored, it was bright red. Ate a few bites and threw away. Total waste of money and worst Chinese food I have had in the area in a long time.

Great overall experience. We had the pepperoni pizza, garlic knots - fantastic, mushroom pizza - really good, and the prosciutto and Gorgonzola (less flavorful than we anticipated). Wide selection of beers, nice open stylish room, super friendly service. 3 generations of our family left happy.

Such a beautiful and relaxing place to visit, I was unsure about bringing my 3 1/2 year old so we didn't, once we got there we sort of regretted it she would have loved certain aspects , I didn't see many reviews about bringing children so I didn't know if it was a place for kids , I'm happy my first visit was just me and my husband I don't think the relaxing part would have been the same had we brought her but I will definitely return with my daughter :)

Great experience from beginning to end. This was our first time and we loved it! They have an amazing happy hour menu for food and drink. Their portions are ridiculous. Definitely enough for 2-3 meals. My date and I each got their happy hour hibachi and had a total of 3 margaritas. Our bill was just over $50.00. The staff was very attentive. The Chefs were interactive and funny. At the end of our meal the maitre d or manager came and asked us about our experience. We will definitely be back and have already spread the word to friends that this is a great place for date night or a large group of friends.

Wow, wow, wow...had a quick lunch here on 10/27/15 and loved it! My boss recommended it and we both loved our food: tomato & garbanzo soups, antipasta platter, and shared a piece of lemon torte. Service is warm and friendly, food delicious, and I can't wait to go back!!

I really wanted to love this restaurant. The interior is really well decorated and the food looked awesome. My wife and I stopped in for breakfast on a Sunday in May. There was a 15 minute wait but there were (2) seats at the counter so we grabbed them.
Our waitress came right over and introduced herself along with the other girl working the counter area. We perused the menu and placed our orders. My french press coffee came out quickly but that was the only thing that was quick. After 30+ minutes our meals came out and during that time neither of the girls behind the counter checked on our drinks or gave us an update on our food. After speaking with several other people it seems the long wait times are the norm. Hopefully they will work the kinks out since they are fairly new.
I had the Big Easy Benedict - Cornbread topped with avocado, creole seasoned onions, peppers and chorizo. Topped with poached eggs and cajun hollandaise. The corn bread was awesome and I would give the entire meal a solid B.
My wife had the Fruity Chicken Salad - Two scoops of homemade chicken salad accompanied by California raisins, fresh seasonal fruit on a layer of baby spinach leaves with an english muffin. The Chieck Salad was good but she thought the portion was small.
If I was just reviewing the food I would give it 3 1/2 stars but the wait and service was so poor I had to bring the overall rating to 2. I will return and see if the service improves.

I HATE THE FRESH GROCER! I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT! I hate this place but I can not stop going. The Fresh Grocer is a great concept and has the potential to be an amazing store... it is just so ghetto! The produce is disgusting; I would say that at least half of the fruit looks bruised or dented. The service is horrible; the cashiers curse at each other, answer cell phones and give you attitude for no reason. The prices are a little on the expensive side.
Also, THEY RUN OUT OF TRANSPASSES AND TOKENS BY MONDAY! If you know you keep running out, why not order more?? If I come on Monday at 9am I see no reason for you to be out consistently!
I guess you are asking yourself why I keep coming back. One, the pizza is pretty good. The slice is 1/6 of a pizza, cheap and pretty delicious. Two, FroGro has a monopoly on the University City market. There is no other supermarket nearby. So if you have somewhere else to grocery shop, go there and steer clear of FroGro.

The food was tasty- similar to Jade Garden in Bordentown in taste, but it is much cleaner and friendlier. The service is amazing-- our waiter was a little older than the rest but was smiling and patient. We must have gotten our waters filled three or four times (and for spicy Szechuan cuisine, that's definitely needed). We had a living social deal, and glad I got it because now we hope to be back for a sit-down with family. I don't know if I'd do takeout thought. The Szechuan and garlic sauce over jumbo shrimp was very tasty, as were their veggie dumplings. Glad we have a trustworthy and clean Chinese place by our house, and hope others take notice as well. They have many dishes that are very traditional also and so many Chinese families were there and that's sign enough that the food is tasty, authentic and can be trusted!
Whatever leftovers we had, my brother-in-law ate it a day and a half later... usually this is a huge no-no and my husband and I were planning to throw it away, but my brother in law ate it when we weren't home and LOVED IT... he said it tasted like he just ordered it and the shrimp seemed to remain fresh.

Every time they say "20 minutes" and it is sometimes double or triple that time to pick up!

Very cool and cute place in Nora!! Unfortunately the concept is poorly executed. Came here on a Friday evening, and as first timers, we were very confused where to order and how to. Eventually an employee finally asked what we would like and after asking a couple questions and placing our order, the employee began to start our meal. Not even starting the employee asked what each of us would like again and what we did and didn't want. Perhaps getting ordering tickets could prevent this from happening? One of the employees seemed very new since he was questioning the menu very often as I was. I ordered a Mr Turkey wrap style and had to remind the employee that it comes with provolone and after stating I wanted my wrap cold I noticed they placed it on a grill for a few anyways. Luckily I was able to stop them before it was toasted! I also ordered a potato soup and after asking what it comes with loaded the employee stated it has green onions and bacon, I ordered an 8oz and received a 12oz which was nice but had to come back to the register to get my bacon and turns out they don't even have green onions? The whole experience was confusing and poorly done. Although the interior of the restaurant is very inviting and welcoming, the service lacks the guidance needed to run smoothly.

Worst meal of my life. Won't be visiting here again and definitely don't recommend it. My food came out wrong. Then when I asked nicely to have it corrected. All I received was an apology. I then proceeded to ask about my fruit and hash browns which I never received and again nothing but an oh no. I'm so sorry. I had a English muffin and 2 pieces of Turkey bacon for 13.47. Completely ridiculous. So much for customer service and people wonder why there business isn't successful.

You know what you're getting when you order. I've ordered takeaway from this location numerous times...the consistency is very good. Curiously though, the food was great again, but there were NO lids for drinks. Bizarre!

So we spent a long evening at the mall taking pic so we wanted food that was close, we went here with a party of 12. We sat down within 20 minutes or so. not to bad, The food was good service kinda slow they did get the kids food out pretty quick they were really hungry but the rest of us waited awhile, The menu is rather large, lots of options for everyone. Club sandwich and salad combo is good, lettuce wrap is good and drinks were very tasty. Every one in the party was pleased no complaints.

Yummy tater tots! I resisted the urge to pocket them like the second grader in me was telling me to. Shrimp po boy: The bread was perfect, crisp on the outside and soft & chewy on the inside. The shrimp tasted fresh. It would have benefited from a slightly more interesting sauce-- which they had plenty of. The tartar & cocktail sauce: on point. The chips were good & the breading
on the clams were flavorful & a good texture. All this & you get to watch the boats dock.

We came in on a Friday night for what we hoped would be a delicious meal, but ultimately left disappointed by the food, service, and, above all, the kitchen.
The restaurant is located in an unassuming place in a strip mall. We were seated promptly without having to wait. The decor of the small restaurant is rather nice, though it's clear from the lack of padding in the booths that the restaurant is aging.
Half of our table wanted sushi, while the other half ordered dishes from the kitchen. The sushi was OK, but the dishes from the kitchen were horrible. We ordered the chicken lettuce rolls, but the chicken stuffing was simultaneously bland and incredibly salty without having any hint of the "spicy hoisin" flavor that was advertised. There wasn't even enough of their waxy lettuce to use for all of the chicken, but that ultimately didn't matter, because we only could eat half of it.
From the kitchen, we ordered a pad thai and a shrimp tempura udon. Upon sampling both, I found that both were, without doubt, the worst renditions of each I have ever had. The pad thai appeared to consist of rice noodles that had been stir-fried with salt and soy sauce until it was dry; there was no hint of tamarind paste or vinegar that would have provided any of the sweet and sour taste that this dish should have. The food was so unappealing that we actually had to send it back to the kitchen, something I hesitate to ever do, and substitute it out for a chicken teriyaki dinner which proved better. The shrimp tempura udon was equally unappealing. I wish that I could say that the broth for the soup was at least hot and salty, but ultimately the soup was just hot water with poorly textured noodles added, without even a hint of dashi added to the broth.
The sushi was better, but still only "good". We ordered a lobster tempura roll; surf 'n' turf roll, which combined steak and shrimp tempura; a salmon, tuna, and avocado roll; and a sashimi dinner. The lobster roll was the only one here that stood out, but I think that's more by virtue of the inclusion of lobster than anything else. Some of the sashimi, like the yellowtail, had a nice texture and flavor, but others, like the red tuna, were mushy and, worse, even a bit fishy tasting, indicating it couldn't have been that fresh.
Service was somewhere between poor and OK. When we told them the pad thai was not what we had expected (to put it lightly), they offered to switch it out. However, after we ordered a second soda, it took us three tries for them to bring us additional ice for the can of soda. Regardless, they were nice.. enough, despite being relatively slow to address our concerns.
I was brought to this restaurant based on the good reviews on Yelp, but based on this experience, I think I'm done searching for good sushi out in the suburbs. Next time, I'm going into Philadelphia for Japanese food, and I urge you to do the same.

Got delivery from here. The food arrived warm. I got the smaller size chicken lo mein which comes with rice, a chicken wing, soup, and a chicken egg roll. I also ordered spring rolls. The spring rolls where crispy and moist on the inside. The noodles were a bit oily but very tasty. I didn't really have anything to eat the rice with, if you order the larger size noodles it doesn't come with rice. I got the egg drop soup which was pretty good. Overall it was a satisfying Chinese dinner night for a good price.

On Tuesday, May 23rd, we were early (0900) at the airport and wanted a light breakfast near the Southwest Airline terminal. We discovered Dook's Place and were pleasantly surprised by the good food and service. You don't expect that at an airport restaurant. Our server was Joanne B and she was very pleasant. We had coffee ($2.50), side of spicy sausage ($2.50) and we shared a lost bread ($9.50), which is french toast with fruit and creme fraiche. The prices were very reasonable.

The service is great. Walk-in and you immediately feel invited to stay, not to mention that they are pretty prompt with greeting people.
You cannot order a bad dish, they are all great. I have been to Kelly's multiple time and I am sure to return. The MRS loves the place too.

We were visiting from out of town and stumbled across Smokey Mo's. Man oh man...what a treat! The meats were cooked perfectly. I had the brisket sandwich and they piled on the meat. The brisket just melted in my mouth. The pulled pork was tender and delicious. Perhaps better than the brisket..it's hard to say. They were both SO delicious. The service was phenomenal. They were kind and attentive. They went out of their way to make sure we were having a good dining experience. I will definitely be back next time I'm in Arizona. I highly recommend visiting Smokey Mo's!

Don't order a steak or hamburger and you'll be okay. Cook doesn't understand the difference between rare and burned.

Used to be one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Philadelphia. Unfortunately the food here has become inconsistent. What keeps me coming back? The walnut shrimp! This place makes the best walnut shrimp. Sauce is perfectly seasoned, creamy, and delicious. They use jumbo shrimp and their batter is on point.
My other go to dishes are the fried shrimp balls, Peking pork chop, and lobster with ginger and scallions. Unfortunately the food here is inconsistent, and some days the food is not as good as they may overcook their dishes.
Service is fast and speedy, but your typical impersonal Asian service. Ambiance is average. I like the chandeliers but the place is a little tight.
Would recommend if you're craving walnut shrimp!

My family are regular customers here because the food is tasty, consistent, and totally reasonably priced. I always get the Garlic chicken combo plate (comes with a spring roll and either white or fried rice), but I've tried some others, and they're all good. It's typical American-Chinese food with portions big enough where I have enough for lunch/dinner the next day. If you're in the area, check it out!

This gastro style pub in a trendy part of Tampa is chic and cool.
The menu is extremely creative so if you must have basic food the menu may not appeal to you. One member in our group is a particularly picky eater and the waitress told him that they have an abundance of fresh ingredients and can prepare whatever he is hungry for. Props for that.
The Potato Crusted Oysters are heavenly. This creative preparation was well executed. The Buffalo Cauliflower is excellent and really requires no other commentary. The Coulotte Steak was tender, juicy and full of flavor. Preparation was perfect.
Service was outstanding. The waitress was extremely knowledgable and did a great job for our table.
This restaurant has pub type seating in the front and has another room with four larger table for larger groups.
When you're bored with the same old restaurants serving up all of the dishes mom used to make then make a trip to Edison Food Lab and let them entertain your palette.

The food here was GOOOOD! I live in an area in south Florida where good food isn't easy to come by so maybe when I finally do taste good food, I'm overly impressed. It was so good that as I ate, I found myself chewing with my eyes closed, savoring every single flavor. I had a Shrimp Taco bowl and I added seared tuna. The flavors in my bowl...sooo good! I also ordered the avocado fries...so yummy! I enjoyed every bite. The serving size was really perfect. I was very hungry but I still had food leftover. The staff was SUPER NICE! I don't live here in Tampa but if I'm here again I will return and before I leave town I plan to stop in again and eat the same exact meal. Nice amount of spice, not overly priced, be prepared for loud music as this place has a DJ and is in a very trendy part of town. Really is a Great place to eat though. Food was very good! Maybe next time I'll just get it to go because my sisters and I obviously stood out and felt we didn't belong. Everyone was dressed for the night life but we had just driven to town and had on our work clothing from earlier that day. Not to mention, I'm 46 years old and I was the youngest in my group. We still had a very nice time. The margaritas actually had a kick so we only needed one each and we were good and tipsy. The waitress was funny and I guess we must've been funny too because we were tipsy and talkative and kept her laughing.

Small place, they offer half priced margaritas I believe on Thursday nights. The bar is tiny so if we could ever make it to happy hour it would be way cramped. The food is regular Mexican dishes,okay for the price.

This place is a must if you visit Santa Barbara, you will not be disappointed. My boyfriend had his 30th birthday party here and everybody LOVED the food. We had visited Opal previously when he was trying to decide where he wanted to have his birthday dinner and we were blown away by the food.
The Lemon Grass Crusted Salmon with Thai Curry is full of flavor and the salmon is prepared perfectly and the Mushroom Risotto with truffle oil is phenomenal. Possibly the best risotto I have ever had, which is saying a lot because typically I'm not a huge fan of risotto.
The restaurant has a New York feel to it, the service is great and the wine list is extensive.
I can't wait until I'm back in Santa Barbara to visit Opal again.

Really disappointed. This is usually our go to spot after church. The service has really gone down where our waitress doesn't even remember our table. On top of that, the dishes are ALWAYS dirty. We had a lipstick stain on our mug this time. So disgusting.

I don't know why we don't eat here more often.
Anthony's is only a 15 minute ride away but we never seem to get here often enough. Tonight we went shopping at the nearby Ace Hardware and decided to stop into Anthony's for dinner. What a great decision. My husband and I both loved our meals even though I had an appetizer for dinner - the Anthony's Grande Meatball. This was a large meatball next to a bed of dressed romaine with a dollop of fresh ricotta. The meatball was just like mama's so light and tasty. Service was attentive yet unintrusive and everything was priced to sell.

Great food! Everything was delicious!
But I'm taking one star away because we sat down at 12 for lunch, but we were told we couldn't get lunch until at least 1 because they had too many people who wanted breakfast in the restaurant....ok??? So we ordered our breakfast at 1230. Even though their menu states breakfast is served until noon. I found this really annoying. We went there for lunch....at lunch time....and were told (after waiting almost an hour for our table) that we were getting breakfast instead. I don't run a restaurant, but it's not that hard to abide by the signs that YOU put up....simply tell your patrons that it's not breakfast anymore. It happens everywhere else you go. Not a deal breaker, but definitely disappointing.
Again, food was great, wasn't in the mood for breakfast, but we did thoroughly enjoy our food.
We will definitely try this place out again, although we will be going at a later time knowing they don't actually start serving lunch until they feel like it.

I went to the newest location of Good Earth Cafe with my sister, Michelle, for lunch. She had told me only good things about this location and it was my first time trying a Good Earth Cafe so I thought why not?
I expected it to be like most coffee shops: lots of varieties of coffee with limited food. I was hungry, so I figured I would be stuck having a muffin for lunch. However, I was so impressed the second I walked in.
There was a huge variety of food items, that all sounded delicious! We ended up splitting their macaroni and cheese and a vegetarian breakfast panini. They both tasted awesome! The macaroni tasted like homemade macaroni and it was very tasty! The breakfast sandwich was interesting. It had a variety vegetables on it (what looked like eggplant and yellow peppers). I'm not such a fan of those types of vegetables so I just took them off. Still, there was a pesto sauce that made the sandwich so flavorful and scrumptious.
The service was excellent! We weren't sure what type of drink to get. We just knew we wanted something slushy to enjoy in the sun. The girl behind the counter gave us a bunch of suggestions and we loved our drinks! I got the mocha frappe (yum!) and Michelle ordered the banana cafe frappe (double yum!). The drinks were frothy and not too sweet.
The price was alright. It came to about $20 for two frappes, macaroni, and a breakfast panini.
Walking into the restaurant, there was so much space! Lots of tables to sit at and huge counter space to look at the large variety of foods. The whole shop had a really nice, friendly atmosphere. Not like some coffee shops where everyone seems quite pretentious.
We were hoping to enjoy some of the sun and were lucky enough to get a spot on their patio. With the sun shining and our delicious treats, it was a fabulous lunch experience!
I already want to go back again and enjoy another meal on their patio. Just need a little more sunshine!!

Update: because I love food and always want to try new places I forced myself to go back. Again went the take out route. This time the staff was very friendly (6/26/18). The food was good. Not great, but good. Could be because it was take out and more or less prepared and presented by myself as pho is given in seperate containers when taking out. It was good enough for me to go back, and will likely dine in next time.
Would rate 3 out of 5 due to inconvenience of first time, the unfriendliness of the people from the first time, and food was just good. They did improve from a 1 out of 5 though.

DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP! I love hole in the wall type diners and this passed my expectations far beyond anything I could've imagined! I never really care for eggs but I got the mamas special with French toast, eggs, and bacon and I ate every last bite! The eggs were fantastic and the French toast was so light and fluffy and perfectly sweetened with cinnamon. I couldn't have asked for better, definitely will return and tell everyone I know to check it out as well!

I went in here thinking to get a healthy smoothie after eating a greasy fast food meal elsewhere (something I almost never do).
They had just what I was looking for, an awesome-tasting smoothie with orange, parsley, celery, papaya, honey, and wheat germ. The lady told me it would help my stomach--and it may sound exotic, but it was delicious, and hit the spot. And my stomach feels much better now!
Harvest Station is tucked away in a strip mall off Waters Ave, so you have to look for it, but the woman in front of me had a yummy-looking milkshake for her kid and a healthy salad and fruit salad for herself, so I'd say it covers all the bases: healthy, yummy, and good for an upset tummy!

Fresh food, a very clean restaurant and a customer oriented, friendly staff. - What a great combination! We had the spinach pie platter which was a very generous serving- and had I not been so hungry, would have been two portions. The pita was fresh and having the whole wheat option is much appreciated. I enjoyed the salad and the option of choosing the veggies. The Hungry Greek at this location will definitely be my go to for Greek in the Tampa area.

The location is nice and the food is good and is prepared very quickly. This place would be a great place to go With friends to sit and chat for a while because of the clean and cozy space. The regular and large size portions are phenomenal and I would recommend both but if you want to have a proper size breakfast I suggest the larger bowl. My only complaint is how expensive each add on topping costs especially considering how much they give you. I don't believe adding toppings is worth it. Also their order taking employees sometimes tend to be under trained so ordering from there may sometimes be a slow process however they are very friendly either way. I highly recommend going to this place to try it out because it is great but be ready for the extra toppings and awkward interactions with employees

This Place is Unbelievable!!!! I have not been to Caruso's in at least 12 years and I STILL talk about it! The Lasagna al forno is the only thing I have ever ordered! Once you have a phenomenal thing why try something else.. I compare all other lasagna to their's and everyone else fails. It's cheesy and just the right amount of sauce... YUM!!!

Another convenient local place we regularly visit on the Near Northeast side of Tucson. Friendly staff, lots of seating (we never seem to have to wait even when they are packed). Relatively cheap eats. We have learned what to order and what to avoid (do not like the chili rellenos or tamales or grilled steak/shrimp special - dry, tough and seems to always be overcooked), but still have lots of favorites; Enchiladas de la Casa (chicken enchiladas with a white sauce), carne asada tacos or carne asada burrito (or chimichanga), shrimp fajitas (enough for two but skimpy with the tortillas - only give one and charge extra for a second or third flour tortilla), if ordering beef fajitas I recommend substituting the carne asada meat for the regular beef which tends to be dry and not as flavorful, plain small cheese crisp is a good appetizer (anything larger gets cold and not very good when no longer hot), and when ordering iced tea or just water they will leave upon request a small pitcher for you to refill your own glass as needed. With basket of chips you get a spicy salsa, but a mild salsa is available.

Philadelphia has become a Sunday brunch city especially over the past few years. On this beautiful sunshine filled sunday, I decided to take a stroll to check out the new rail park (a few blocks down) and get brunch at Cafe Lift.
While wait times can increase, they will text you so you can take a stroll at the Rail Park while you wait. Staff was friendly and provided timely updates on seating so only downside is waiting which is understandable.
Philadelphia is a pastry city and knows how to make the best cannolis in the United States. For this reason, I decided to get the cannoli French toast and a side of scrambled eggs. The French toast with cannoli filling was excellent but I am not a fan of pistachios which took away from the taste of the toast. Scrambled eggs were great but you really can't mess up eggs.
Understanding it was a Sunday(peak brunch day), the service was standard but basic things such as providing utensils and glasses need to be provided. Otherwise, staff was always checking in which was great.
Overall: Cafe Lift is a great brunch spot that is tucked away slightly outside of Center City and I would recommend for everyone to check it iut!

For half-off rolls, they certainly don't give half the effort. It's yummy every time I go! AND they take Rowan Bucks :)

David (glasses, middle aged, usually at self checkout) is always unpleasant & rude. We needed help at self checkout & he said "well can you get out of my way so I can do it". This isn't an isolated incident. We went in the other day and asked him for help with self check out. He didn't even acknowledge us when we asked, he walked away, came back and did what we needed help with & when we said thank you just grunted and walked away.

I went here with friends who swear Ekta is "the best Indian food in the world." I clearly assumed they were exaggerating because I'm sure Indian food in India is pretty awesome, but holy crap was this place good - so delicious, well priced and it's BYO! We got the lamb korma, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and a bunch of the different delicious naan flavors (there are so many!) Definitely skip apps, we got the veggie samsosas and they weren't as good as the main dishes - save your appetite.

Great little place in Soho! I go frequently for their salads, which are both huge and amazing! They also offer great juices, a bit pricey, but $8 seems to be going rate so they are in line with other places that offer similar juices.

I ate at Panera in Jenkintown yesterday and I will never go back. I ordered the strawberry chicken salad. I should have sent it back. The lettuce was old blackish and spoiled. The chicken was mushy and tasteless. I picked at the strawberries and blueberries and pecans. There was no butter for the bread. I asked if perhaps this location was closing but was told no. Maybe they should!

This is the best little bar I've ever been to. At first we couldn't find it because it was on the front side of the plaza but with a little determination we found it. It is really small on the inside but the ambiance and music makes the atmosphere inviting. The lighting was perfect and the waitstaff was very friendly and courteous. I had no idea what to order from the creative drink menu so the waitress suggested a drink. It turned out to be very good. Hubby had a house drink...well three. Let's just say he enjoyed his as well. We were expecting a full menu so we went with our appetites. The menu was more of a appetizer menu but we ordered three and we were not disappointed. Everything was delicious but the bacon wrapped figs were the best.
I wouldn't say it's a place to hang out or go to every weekend but if you're looking for a great specialty drink and a great appetizer this is the place.

Super cute shop with amazing tea and chocolates too! I gave the guy working an idea of the kinds of teas I really like and he came up with a great one for me to try. Both him (and his wife?) were very friendly and helpful and the prices were reasonable.

While it looked promising, it was kind of a letdown. I can understand the popularity due to the generous happy hour menu. We stopped in on a Saturday around 5 and was kind of put off by how dirty the bathrooms and just about everything on the table were. The tortillas that were given to us both with our meals were inedible. The beef was meh but the chicken was decent.
Wouldn't bother going back.

We waited an hour for our appetizers despite the restaurant not being especially crowded. Our entrees came 20 minutes after that and were absolutely the size of appetizers: tasty but tiny and unsubstantial.
The service was poor and only ever apologetic.
In short, everything arrived too little and too late.
NOLA has many, many other places that I would recommend before Saba.
It tries too hard to be upscale and ultimately doesn't succeed at being even a decent place to eat.

Haven't tried the Asian items but the Puerto Rican items were so good! My wife is Puerto Rican so we ordered Amarillo, Mofongo, and Carne Frita. Safe to say she approved of the taste and use of the spices, and that it reminded her of her family's cooking. Will be back for more!

I hit up Union Taco in observance of Cinco de Mayo. In a world of Chipotles and Qdobas, I wanted my quick serve taco lunch to mean a little more.
I was quickly able to place my order and pay at the counter. It took about 15-20 minutes for my two tacos to be prepared. I wasn't happy about the wait at the time, however they were busy and it means they actually put the effort into my preparation.
I went with the traditional kobe beef taco and the mahi mahi taco. They weren't the biggest and left me wanting more tacos. It's a shame I was back at my desk at that point and SOL. They were both tasty but a little too slathered in sauce.
All and all I probably waited a little longer and got a little less food for my money than a fast food chain, but it was nice to have a semi-authentic taco experience.

If you visit New Orleans, avoid Emeril's NOLA restaurant. I had an expensive entree of BarBQ Shrimp. 3 pathetic shrimp that were drown in chain store sauce ad nauseum -- really ad nauseum on a slice of bread soaked in the same sauce. A horrific meal.

Having going to Duck Donuts my first time Thursday AND going back the very next day, says this place is awesome. I can only speak on the donut sundaes, because that's all it took to win me over. I had cinnamon sugar donut with vanilla ice cream baked coconut and caramel sauce. It was absolutely delicious. Husband had the apple pie donut sundae and inhaled it. Ryan, who works the front counter is the nicest most patient guy ever. This poor guy has to deal with these huge families coming in with their 5 animalistic children deciding what they want, how they want it; all the while dealing with the stink eye from the people in line patiently waiting. Ryan even remembered us from the day prior. He doubled checked with us to make sure everything was to our liking. If you like sweets this place rocks. Be extra nice to Ryan, he deserves it!!! This place is great, you will NOT be disappointed.

Love the Catbird Seat!!! Such a wonderful and intimate experience. I opted for a non-alcoholic pairing which was a lovely accompaniment to my dinner but almost everyone opted for the wine paring. I came a bit early and they will not seat you so I waited at The Patterson House (TPH) next door. I suggest you come early and get a drink in their beautiful dim establishment if you haven't been there before. Pro tip, if you don't finish your drink by the time your reservation starts you are welcome to bring it over to dinner. I could tell that the staff at TPH was excited for my dinner reservations at and that got me even more excited!
The tasting menu concept is unique to Nashville but wished there were more places like this around town. Food was amazing, well thought out, and artistic. Chef was able to accommodate to my dietary needs without a hitch and I left content with the amount of food I received.
Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend to those who can appreciate good food and are willing to pay for it. Two minor complaints that may be a personal preference thing were: Sitting next to a party who had reservations before me. I felt like I was getting a preview of every single dish and by the time I got my dish it was no longer a surprise. Secondly, there could have been a little more verbal description of the dish presented: for example, if a dessert had obvious components of strawberries or cumbles mention it anyway! Give me a brief history about where it came from or how it was made it, but don't ignore it because it is obvious -- give these components some more credit!
Thank you Catbird Seat for making my experience a great one. Looking forward to my next visit!

Went there today inside the store with a friend of mine and we were at the counter waiting and then all of a sudden One of the employees comes to the counter and you could tell he was on some hard-core drugs. He wouldn't look as in the eye kept twitching so we just decided to walk out.
I think Burger King needs to invest in some ordering kiosks and get rid of these drug addicted employees.

We came here because we had heard it was great and other family members really liked the food. The food and breakfast buffet was underwhelming. The best thing they have here is the scrambled eggs and that's saying a lot. The eggs were creamy and fluffy. The glasses are made out of plastic. The place just gives a cheap vibe. The decore is nice if you like that garbage dump asthetic. There are a clutter of "funny" signage all over. It's pet friendly but really the food is not much of a step up for them. I don't understand what the hype about the place is here. The breakfast food isn't that inexpensive either. If you had to pick a Waffle House or Denny's to this place, the only advantage coming to the Sweet Sage is that you can eat al fresco on a picnic table. Even then I would prefer to go to Denny's. My suggestion is to find a different breakfast place or make it yourself at home, because the only memorable thing will be the "cute" signs hanging all over.

It's La Salsa! This one is bright and big inside and I noticed it has decent views if you sit by the window (you can see Wilmot/Speedway and the mountains). Yeah, it's semi-fast Mexican, but a nice view is still a good thing. See review of the Discount Tire in Oro Valley.

Wings and wedges were great. I tried 3 flavors (Hot) flavor was my favorite. Service was extremly slow. Had to wait over 20mins for my food. (Disclaimer) I did go on a Sunday/football game night. I would return again on an off day to avoid the sports/weekend crowd.

My friends and family know all too well my love for buffets. You get what you want, how much you want, and finish what you can eat. I love that you don't have to choose one item, and if you play the buffets right it can be a healthy and satisfying meal. Furr's is a cafeteria-style buffet. Tucson used to have a place called Lubby's two decades ago but they closed up shop. There used to be two Furr's but one of them closed, leaving this location the only cafeteria-style buffet in Tucson.
First thing to note: if you don't read this, you might be a little confused on the process. The cash register is on your right, but walk straight past it to the cafeteria line. Grab a tree and utensil wrapper, and then you're ready to begin going through the line. Each station has an employee. You tell them what you want, and they get it for you. After you go through the line, you grab a cup and the drink of your choice. At the end of the line, an employee will hand a receipt with the time that it was given to you. After your entire meal, you go that cash register at the very front and pay then.
Now that we covered that, let's get to the food and service. First off is the food, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The deli salads were delicious, the hot foods were flavorful, and the desserts were sugary-goodness! They make awesome fish dishes, and everything tasted like it was homemade and not out of a can. Right there, that makes Furr's way better than Golden Corral. Shout-out to the bread pudding for being an dynamite dessert!
The service was commendable. Only one employee (the lady that handed you the receipts) appeared to not have the people's skills for the job. Everyone else, from the cash register employee at the front, employees on the cafeteria line, and the servers throughout the restaurant, had a positive and friendly attitude.
Here's what technically makes it a buffet. If you want more food, you can either (a) go back in line, or (b) tell your server what you want more of. If there isn't a line, I would suggest doing that so you can see again the options and determine if you want more of something you had or if you want to try something new. If the line is packed, you can ask the server what is up there on the line and they should know it by memory.
Demographically, the place caters to an elderly clientele. That did not stop my party from coming here and giving it a try. It was an outstanding experience, and I look forward to coming back in the near future!

I'm so happy to say that this is the best pizza that I've eaten since I moved to Philadelphia over 7 years ago! Thank you for making awesome pizza, Pizza Brain!
The crust is possibly the best pizza crust I've ever had. The sauce is nice and garlicy and delicious. They have a vegan cheese option on some of their pizzas which is perfect for my son who cannot have dairy cheese. Their pizza concoctions are interesting and tasty!
We will be back again, and again, and again...
Could I ask for anything more? Well, maybe some garlic salt for us garlic lovers, but I'm just being picky.

Des Peres welcomes Fresh Tyme! The offspring of Whole Foods & Trader Joe's. This beautiful new Farmer's Market & Health Food store located in a plaza next to Sports Authority and on the opposite side of Gold's Gym.
Open daily until 10pm, this grocer offers fresh produce, hot food, healthy options at the salad bar and throughout the entire store from beverages to fresh fish and meats. There's a deli, house-made pizza, fresh baked breads, cheeses, pet items, baby needs, household and body essentials. You can buy oils and coffee in bulk as well.
Staff was cool, not comparable to the personalities of TJ's staff or the charisma of Whole Foods team but maybe they'll warm up once the dust settles.
We've definitely seen this store before, nothing new about it but the location. Product and pricing are equivalent to the other health food markets we love so much (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Lucky's and Fields Food). Give Fresh Thyme a whirl if your're in the area.

Had to check out this new spot in Fishtown this morning. What a great place! We brought some of our own beer because it is a BYO. We also lucked out with a place to sit almost immediately, but it was quite busy. Their "dinosaur egg" was excellent (egg inside an avocado wrapped in bacon). We also ordered their burger, which was outstanding. At one point Angelica, the general manager/owner, stopped by to chat with us for a few minutes even if she was super busy. We had a great experience and highly recommend checking the place out. We'll definitely be going back soon. A perfect addition to Fishtown, well done!

In the battle between Zaxby's and Chi-Fil-A it's hard to say who would come out the winner. I do hope to keep trying to figure it out, with lots and lots of testing.
Zaxby's really does have some great Chicken, with lots of nice chicken related meal items. You can get your chicken on bread, or your chicken with bread, or your chicken with chicken.. and Zalads I guess.
There are only three shake choices (Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate), but they are quite good.
If you are looking for a fast food Chicken option, check it out.

Overbrook Pizza is the place to go if you want pizza nearby. They're not just good for their pizza, they also have very good quality cheesesteaks and fries that are perfectly crisp.

My husband and I ate here on a Saturday night. Very friendly staff. Our bill was $150 for an appetizer, 2 entrees, a dessert and drink. Although the staff was very friendly and accommodating, they were not the most knowledgeable. I think if you are going to spend a lot of money on dinner, the staff should have a little more experience in serving and with the menu. We had the lobster pops for an appetizer. My husband loved, and I thought it was good but not great. I had a filet mignon medium rare. I love my steak on the rarer side but my first steak was purple in the middle and not really warm. Clearly not cooked all the way. I must say I never had food returned, but my server did great to mend the situation and got me a new steak that was good. My husband's lamb steak was good. Our Creme brûlée was good. Overall, it was okay-good but not great. Not sure if I would go back for okay food, but friendly staff.

Yummm! Everything my husband and I ordered was delicious and fresh! He had some sushi and we also order the hibachi for two with that we could choose 3 proteins . It also came with veggies, fried rice, soup and salad were served first and to top off the night banana tempura with a scoop of ice cream! My only complaint would be that they were out of scallops and the hibachi chef did take about 30 mins to start . Overall it was a very pleasant experience!

4 stars only because the lady at the front counter didn't have her nose covered and that weirds me out. But those birria tacos were fiyah!

One of the reasons my 14-year marriage to Cynthia came to an end was because I was afraid to take chances. I settled into a career as an actuary after college. My parents convinced me to take business classes when I attended Ramapo College of New Jersey. I took a creative writing class early on and thought it might be fun to write for a living. However, I took the safe route.
Don't get me wrong. I don't have any complaints about my career choice. It's great work running risk valuation models for parking garage construction firms throughout North America. I like it quite a bit and even get to mentor young actuaries.
I moved into a Manayunk townhouse. Cynthia and our twin sons Bradley and Bryan all live in Glenside. Even though they're just a phone call away, it definitely feels far away. But being this alone at home does give the incentive to try new things and take some chances, even though it's too late to save my wedding.
Anyways, I decided to try out veganism. I had heard of vegetarians (one of the secretaries at work is a vegetarian and also works at a Delco pet shelter) but wasn't aware of veganism until I heard Bill Clinton talk about it on C-Span. I heard about the Nile Cafe from right here on Yelp and since Germantown isn't too far from my Manayunk townhouse, I decided to give it a try.
I have to say that the food was definitely unique. And by that I mean DELICIOUS. Everything was so tasty -- the okra, faux BBQ chicken, vegetable platter, etc. I'm very glad I tried it out. The decor at the place was also unique and interesting, to say the least, too! Germantown definitely has a LOT of potential as an eclectic neighborhood.
I decided not to stay vegan, though. One night was enough! I couldn't resist and had to have a F'Real milkshake from the Mt. Airy Wawa.
I would recommend Nile Cafe to anyone in Northwest Philadelphia who is contemplating veganism as a means to help them try new things as a means of self-improvement when dealing with the collapse of a 14-year marriage.

The service here is excellent! Especially considering it was New Years Eve and the restaurant is only a few blocks from Burbon Street. We ordered the spinach dip for an appetizer, and it came out hot and the chips were delicious as well. For dinner, the kids portions were huge! I had the choose three, and all three of samplings were very good. The crawfish and jambalaya were my favorites. On a side note, their draft beer selection is lackluster, but there are plenty of bottled beers & other fruity drinks to choose from. I will definitely go back
