restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1900 | We had purchased prepaid house cleaning through living social website and called to book and was told that the house couldn't be cleaned for 3 months and coupon was set to expire and they said not to worry about expiration date and voucher would be honored. We called a few weeks later and were told they wouldn't honor voucher. We contacted living social and got a refund. Living social said they will never do business with pristine house cleaning again!! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1901 | The positive: Affordable lunch specials and generous portions. The negative: Lacks flavor and not so craveable. The result: Left in a food coma and needing a nap. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1902 | Ghetto as hell! Desk staff was friendly. However, the first room we got, there was dried puke on the floor, so we changed rooms. The next one was NO better, this charming room had burn marks all over the floor. I kept my flip flops on, even in the shower! I got what I paid for and I will NEVER go cheap on my room ever again! Lesson learned, thanks for NOTHING Expedia! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1903 | Worst Food eeevvvvvvveeeeerrrr65 $ for 1 mojito, 1 Coke ( Never asked for a refill) , sliders, chicken fajitasPros: view, funny stuff, Chairs.

I wish i would have gave him the tip instead of the Server. Funny nice atmospere inside. Good mood. Would i go back. No Not for the Food. Maybe for the Drinks at the Bar. The Chairs are so cute. ;-)))I wish somebody would have asked US about the Food. But seems like Nobody Cared. For a Brand New Restaurant i wish the Manager would be present & ASK the guess about it. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1904 | This place has completely gone down hill. I just ate here after several years of visiting other pizza places and I was sad to see what it has become. I have never seen a restaurant skimp on a pizza as bad as this place did. Hardly any sausage, tomatoes sliced as thin as a piece of paper and no garlic on the pizza which was ordered. They never have enough sauce but I expected that and always get a side. Ridiculous. Beer was even flat. Oregano's blows this place away. I have been in town for 25 years and went to Nello's all the time 15 years ago. So sad to see how they have gone cheap on their pizza. If you are looking just to get full, go for it. If you want any type of quality, look elsewhere. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1905 | i will never eat at mellow mushroom on happy valley and i-17 again....there was a bug in my boy's food, ants on the bar and another bug on the ground. they acted like it was no big deal and still gave us a bill for the almost everything... | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1906 | What can I say, Trams has spoiled me. This place was average. I got the seafood pho...imitation crab meat, just 2 shrimp, rubber squid...Also got the quail and there is way more meat on my girlfriends ass. To say the least, dont waste your time, just go to trams | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1907 | To me this place is just blahhhh...First off it's $8 for a pretzel and a drink. If you want any kind of sauce it's another $1. Tacky! I had the pepperoni pretzel and it needed a sauce to hide that it had more than likely been sitting there for a good while. It was hard on the outside and I have up 1/3 of the way into it. Oh well...worth a shot. Hope your luck is better than mine | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1908 | This review is about a year and a half late. Only until I saw her today on yelp is when I thought, \"I need to let these women know what MY experience was\". My initial interaction with Sean wasn't the best. I called her expecting to set up an appointment only to receive a less than \"warm\" reception from her. Sean was rude, irritated and short. She basically told me (paraphrasing) that I needed to pay her up front by depositing the money in her account. Hmm! Ok! I immediately went to Wells Fargo, deposited the money so she would at LEAST take me seriously. After I made the deposit she explained to me that recently she had been setting appointments for people who didn't show. Odd, but ok! I need my hair done! She makes the appointment, assures me that she ll be ready 6am and it will take her 8-10 hours. I wake up at the crack of dawn to only knock on the door to NOTHING. Nobody comes to the door! I call her, NOTHING. I hated to bang on the door but, I drove 25minutes away from my house, at 5:30am! Finally, a smaller version of her came to the door. It was her gorgeous daughter! She was so sweet. She apologized and said her mom was still sleep. She tried to make me as comfortable as she could. Sean came down 20 minutes later explaining that she was up all night doing hair. Before she started, I told her that I wanted my micro braids to NOT be cut. I don't want them all being the same length (personal preference).She told me ok, and got started. After about every 2 hours, she would call her daughter to cut the \"fly away\" hairs off the braids (to make them neater) and flat iron the hair (which was odd again. Who flat irons synthetic hair? )while she laid on the couch and tried to get 10 minutes of sleep. Fine by me until I felt my braids get a lot lighter. She CUT MY BRAIDS! The very THING that I didn't want. I couldn't even be mad at her daughter though. I immediately said \"Oh nooo!\" Her mom woke up and said \"She didn't want her braids cut!!\". I'm thinking, \"Why are you yelling at your daughter, when it's YOUR fault?\" Her daughter wasn't around when I told her that I didn't want them cut! So, now I'm just sitting there frustrated. Then as Sean is braiding, I'm noticing that she's braiding down only midway. Meaning, I still have my REAL hair sticking out of the synthetic hair? WTF? I asked her \"you're not going to braid it all the way down\" She told me no. I paid her EXTRA $$$ because my hair is longer, and I have a big head. I'm used to paying a little bit more. Only to not get my hair ALL THE WAY BRAIDED! So now, I have cut braids with my hair sticking out the braid. No wonder she says you can't get the braids wet! I get braids SO that I'll be able to get my hair wet! The conclusion was, I had small braids with the bottom of them being BIG AND POOFY. She KNEW I wasn't happy as she asked to take a picture of it and saw my face. Her response? \"Smile, you'll get used to it\". It took me a WEEK to braid those braids all the way down. Of course she posted my picture on her fb page. I like to actually get my hair braided for convenience. Not a week of inconvenience! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1909 | Same situation here... $49 for three rooms, ya right. This service is just for a steam clean which basically does not do much. It does not get any high traffic areas or light stains out. Shampoo is another $63, then if you want enzyme treatment thats another $70, $2 per stair, $7 for the landing. So it will cost around $220 to do a 3 bedroom house with 16 stairs. I would not recommend this company. Go with a more well known place that may seem higher (because they include all items in pricing). On a positive note the techs are very friendly. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1910 | Awful. Did I say awful? This place is a real LV stinker. Over hype, overpriced, over full of itself. Whatever you do, don't order fish. I thought the place in Beverly Hills was over the top - with a view of the driveway and unloading vans and limos. Really, a mess in progress. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1911 | I generally speaking love subway, but this was my first experience with this store. . . And by far was the WORST experience I've had. I wanted to rate this at one star, but the general consensus of the party I was with was two stars. Congratulations to this company, here are four people that will tell about their low quality service and food. They got right on making our food, but the level of responsiveness while making it was. . Subpar. When they ASKED me if I wanted my sandwich toasted, I said no, and (this seems to be a running theme with subway) they toasted it anyway. I think they blanket toast ALL of their sandwiches, even when someone knows that they are not going to eat it right away, so if its toasted, the meal, when eaten, will be some sort of sad lukewarm. Every condiment was flavorless, and the entire thing was lukewarm and bland. I don't think they added any salt when I asked. There were really no upsides to my sandwich. Or my experience. I wouldn't ever return to this store, especially since there is a GREAT Subway right down the road at Val Vista and Baseline. Go there instead! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1912 | This is the Arboretum Chili's. You may have heard that Chili's corporately was going to respond to increasing pressure from places like Qdoba and Chipotle by greater emphasis on the Southwest dishes. They definitely have made this change, and not for the better. You can still find a few good old reliable burgers and salads that used to make this my go-to place for dinner with guests, but the new menu is so over-biased with Tex-Mex that the rest suffer. Surprisingly the fajitas, long a staple at Chili's, were absolutely HORRIBLE. The steak was tough and chewy .. and the portions reduced. The new hot spicy taco shells they use for everything are also a horrible over-use of spice. After years of going here, my wife swore she'd never go again, it was that bad. A shame. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1913 | Four stars for their schedule of national shows (good schedule choices - most of the best national public radio shows). One star for their local content. I'm rounding down to two stars, though, since I can stream national shows - I don't need a local station for that.Local content is pretty weak (with the exception of The Allegheny Front). Most of their \"news\" time is spent on local press releases, leaving little time for coverage of stories that might actually have an impact on listeners. (They also do this annoying thing of eating up big chunks of Morning Edition during the week by playing whole segments from Wait Wait Don't Tell Me.) Their flagship noon current events show, Essential Pittsburgh, spends most of its time covering issues that have little Pittsburgh/PA connection - seriously doubt that 1/3 of the show's time is spent on local stories. (Don't get me wrong - lots of the guests are local, but that doesn't magically turn a national or international issue into a Pittsburgh story. ...And a British musician playing a show in town is not a \"local arts\" story.) The show's business news rarely covers major local firms, and their travel segments are mostly on destinations outside of western PA. So, everything you can get by streaming other NPR stations is good. The piece that can only be provided by a local station - actual, relevant local content - is sorely missing. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1914 | Don't trust them , no customer service . Don't waste your money . | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1915 | The portions are the epitome of American excess. However, if you want a pound of flavorless slop in a styrofoam container, be my guest.We ordered two Trident plates, which come with two predesignated sides. I chose the Reuben, which came with their macaroni salad (noodles + mayonnaise) and home fries. The Reuben honestly tasted like spam. Even the spicy meat sauce did not have a characteristic flavor. It was just wet meaty stuff. Overall, the food was greasy and fairly tasteless. I choked my meal down in the hope that it would fill the void left by my disappointment. Sadly, it did not. We came in on a Groupon, so thankfully we did not pay full price. There was a lot of food, but I've honestly eaten better in truckstops than on this culinary misadventure.Pros:- Friendly staff- Inexpensive- Monstrous proportionsCons:- Bland- Greasy | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1916 | This location sucks!!!! I would normally give Golden Corral a 3 or 4 star. We just moved here and have been to golden corral many times In Colorado. But we were very disappointed the night we were here, We went an hour before closing on a Friday night, food was not fresh, no steak ready. They dont have near the food selection that were used to.I asked the manager for a refund for my food, I had lost my appetite and Im not that picky. Server was good, but I probably wont return. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1917 | I've been patronizing Mimi's for over 30 years and I am sad to report that they have finally reached their lowest point, at least at this location. I have always been a BIG fan of Mimi's but this latest visit for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning was the most disappointing visit ever. After almost a 20 minute wait we were finally seated even though the restaurant did not appear to be full. The young girls who were taking names and seating customers didn't seem to know what they were doing. Despite giving us one of those ridiculous vibrating devices with flashing red lights, they came outside at least twice looking for someone they could not find. The biggest disappointment was the cost of our breakfast dishes for what we received. We each ordered a mimosa with a low end sparkling wine which cost almost $8 each. My wife ordered their bacon apple waffles which were very good and tasty but there were only 3 tiny waffles about the diameter of a tennis ball . . . completely bare and accompanied by the tiny cup of syrup with chopped apples and bacon bits. I have a French variation of eggs Benedict which was also pretty tasty but pricey for two small poached eggs on some seasoned mashed potatoes and spinach.Our server was efficient but somewhat intense and not very personable. Even the carpet in the dining area appeared dirty and unkempt. Just not a great experience. Probably won't return to ANY Mimi's for some time because they have definitely lost their edge and reputation as an upscale value chain restaurant.Although I am a budding senior citizen (my wife is NOT) I'm beginning to feel out of place at Mimi's which is often populated by a sea of white hairs and snow birds who don't seem to mind their mediocre, high priced fare set in a sort of Disneyesque French atmosphere. It just doesn't resonate with me anymore and it doesn't feel at all upscale middle of the road like it used when they first opened restaurants in So Cal where I used to live. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1918 | My family wanted to eat a good and cheap Christmas dinner as we were going to hit the buffets the next day. Known for the prime rib and steak and egg specials, Victorian Cafe was our destination that cold Christmas night. We got there around 9:30 PM and although there were a few empty tables, we were seated about ten minutes after we got there. Something about having to wait for the waitress to seat us. Anyway, I scanned the Yelp reviews on what was good, and decided to go with their prime rib special, which is usually $12.99 but on that day, was raised to $13.99. Too bad the steak and egg special is valid only after 11 PM. Each prime rib special comes with a salad or soup and fries, mashed potatoes or a baked potato. And of course, the table gets a basket full of hot rolls and butter. The salad and rolls were delicious, but we all wanted to save our appetites for the prime rib. (We all ordered the same thing, haha). The prime rib comes out a while later, which made us all think that ... man, they must have run out of prime rib, so they're cooking us some good fresh one! When it arrived, each one was pretty darn big. Mine was a little bigger than the size of my hand! Unfortunately, the prime rib tasted really weird. It didn't even taste like meat! I felt like I was chewing on some weird variation of prime rib (almost like a vegetarian prime rib). It tasted like an imitation, and not at all like how prime rib usually tastes. Needless to say, my family and I were all very disappointed. We had to force the prime rib down, and this was the first time we actually had food left on our plates that we did not take back in a to-go box. Good service, good salad and bread, but sucky prime rib! The crust was too salty and the meat was too rubber tasting. We were confused as the meat was pink - not overcooked, but just not tasting the way it should. The ambiance was nice with dim lighting and booth seating (tables as well), but that prime rib was a shame. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1919 | I ordered some blinds and had them cusom cut but they were cut to short due to the guy making a mistake. So I wanted to return them they said they wouldn't return the blinds. I asked for a manager and eventually returned my blinds. I wanted them to cut me some new ones and they wouldn't cut the size I wanted again. Once again I asked for the manager and he told me no one in the store knows how to use the machine. It was a complete waste of time. And extremely dissapointing. iM GOING TO LOWES NEXT TIME. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1920 | We went here for Christmas dinner. Before anyone says anything, I know. People who go out for Christmas must be hated by their families, right? Well, it may just be the other way around, first off. Anyhow....my husband and I understand it's Christmas and most people don't want to be working on that day. We get it. However, when we walked up to the host and said, \"We have reservations for 5:30,\" and he said, \"Tonight? Oh, we don't have anything available,\" when we were the ONLY people there, didn't start off well at all. When I reiterated, \"We have reservations...McCormack at 5:30. On Open Table....\" he was like, \"Oh! Well, we aren't ready. Please sit at the bar first. Have something on me.\" Huh. Okay.So we sat at the bar. The bartender was definitely frazzled...looked like she was still cleaning up from the brunch shift. Okay. No problem. I asked if she could make an extra dirty martini. She looked at me and said, \"I'll have to go downstairs for olive juice.\" Um...okay? Again, I realize it's Christmas, so I say, \"No. I don't want to bother you. I'll just take a whiskey on the rocks. What do you have?\" She named several I'd never heard of but offered the bottle of one to sniff. Okay. We'll take two. Ridiculously smooth...Dullamore? (Not Tullamore...we know that one.) Anyhow...it was nice and then two other groups got seated while we still sat at the bar waiting. Huh. Well, I know it's a slower pace here so we were patient and finished our whiskey and then a different host sat us. Dinner tonight was a $50 prix fixe. Seemed decent to us. We selected appetizers and dinners. I had the foie gras...something I had heard Montreal was well known for. Ugh. It tasted like strong liverwurst. That was my fault. I should never have ordered it not sure if I'd like it. My husband had a salmon appetizer that he said was \"fishy and chewy\". Neither of us finished our appetizers, but again...probably our fault.Salads came out...they were tiny little piles of grassy leaves with one slice of an orange, four cranberries, and a dollop of vinegar. Meh.My husband had boeuf bourguignon..but with medallions of beef as well as pork...quite good. However, the beef had several, rather tough, chewy portions...sinewy...something one wouldn't expect from a restaurant like this. I had a risotto that was more like a bouillabaisse. It was good, but definitely needed some salt. Dessert was a molten chocolate cake...that came out like two little bear turds....no lie. And they tasted about as wonderful (or at least I think bear turds probably taste like this). They were flavorless, unsweetened globs of chocolate that I took one bite of and left. I NEVER leave chocolate. EVER. Okay....ALL of this could be tolerated because it was Christmas...no one wants to work on Christmas. I get it. The death knell came when I asked the waitress for our check. She asked, \"All on one?\" -____- Are you kidding me? We are a couple out for dinner on Christmas. Do you think this is a blind date?? Do you think that, because I'm older than my husband, we're going Dutch??? I became severely annoyed at this...but my husband said the girl was young, she doesn't know. We look at the bill. Our whiskeys \"on me\" (the host) were on our bill at $15 each. Really?? Okay. I calm down. I get it. Probably not your best servers on tonight. We pay and go to get our coats from the coat check. No one has time to look at us. (Mind you, the restaurant still has several open tables...) I counted to thirty with a $2 tip and my coat check ticket in my hand. I then put my scarf and gloves on and went to the coat rack and retrieved our coats myself. We walked out with no one batting an eye. Honestly? The food was okay. Not worth the $50, though. I enjoyed my entire night, even with the lackluster food, until the unwitting comment from the young server. I'm sorry, but for the price and snootiness of the place, they need to train their help better. I'd skip this and try one of the many, MANY other places right around the area for dinner. Just a few blocks up is McDonald's open 24 hours...that might be a better choice. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1921 | Whose **** do I need to suck to get a drink around here ?Oh joy. The owner's.The tired bartenders are over worked and under staffed. When they aren't being molested by their boss they may have time to service you.This is too painful a scene, which could very well lead to more drinking..Fortunately, I have money to purchase a drink, so Ill be at Hideaway West. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1922 | over priced for the portion... So small. For 8.99 , the sweet n sour beef lunch special I had 7 small bite size pieces.. The flavor wasn't in the meat at all. There was only one other customer sitting at the bar. Got here around two pm on a Thursday. Quick to bring the food... But I will not be returning. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1923 | Good food. The lunch is a little expensive and this is not a good place for a crowd. I went with about 12 coworkers for happy hour on a Wednesday night. They were less than accommodating. They wouldn't allow tables and chairs to be moved etc. There were few customers in the restaurant. They kept saying that they needed to accommodate others...who these others are I have no idea! Not sure if I'll be back. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1924 | Customer service the absolute worst!!! Drive thru took about 20 minutes, I had 2 meals to go, each with an order of fries. I got one 'fry dip' ONE ketchup and one honey mustard for the chicken tenders. I asked for mustard, she said it would cost extra. I incredulously asked that they charge for one mustard packet, the asian girl very rudely saud 'yup'. Unbelievable. Will never go back. The fries were cold and overdone. Food made us sick. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1925 | I enjoy most Zipps locations but this one has the worst management of all of all Zipps. Truly rude and definitely incompetent. Food is greasy and cheap but a decent place to watch the game over a drink with friends, however there are too many other options around here to waste your time and money at this place. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1926 | They water down their shots...big time . I'm not talking one the rocks. They actually put water in the bottles! How cheap can you be to take my hard earned money and not give me what I paid for after a long day at work?? New management sucks period. They had a long time to make improvements but they didn't even try. Don't even come here for the burger anymore which was the only reason I came back when the new owners took over | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1927 | The meal came with samosas which were not on the menu, but really, really tasty. You get one with each meal as well as a small salad. The samosa was the best part of the meal by far. The meal size is nice for the amount you pay and very reasonable (not a lot, but not nothing either). But the food is just incredibly bland. Making something spicy-hot won't cover the fact that the spice blends that should be there just aren't (or if they are, they just don't pop).We got delivery and we won't eat from here again. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1928 | After all the positive reviews the hubby & I decided to check it out. Upon entering everything looks great, the place is spacious and we were greeted and seated immediately. I ordered the cajun comb and my husband got the tilipia. While we're waiting for our meals to arrive our waiter offered us fresh baked bread right out of the oven. Not wanting to fill up on bread we declined. We're still sitting there when a roach scurries arcoss the ledge near our booth. ALL BUGS FREAK ME OUT!!!!!!! My husband said it wasn't that big a deal and I should just calm down. The table next to us received their food a couple of minutes before us, as soon as the waiter sat the food on the tray flies swarmed. I tried not to FREAK out but I was really getting uneasy about the safety of our food. Finally, our food comes out a couple of minutes later and I'm eyeballing it like a hawk.....no flies touched it, but it didn't stop them from trying to attack our food once it arrived. It's hard to enjoy your meal while you're swatting away flies and make sure roaches are coming up behind you. On to the food, my fish was salty and my husband's was buttery. 2 perfectly good pieces of fish were ruined.While I went to the restroom my hubby ordered a slice of keylime pie for me. The pie was delicious, our waiter was great, the people watching is extremely interesting, but we will never return here. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1929 | I don't know what it is about this place, but they are slooooooooow. The food is adequate (please don't lecture me about fast food, why are you even reading this review?), but sitting at the drive-in will shorten your life. Or maybe just feel like it. I prefer some of their stuff to McDonald's (yes, I'm very discerning) but just cannot abide the wait. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1930 | If I could give it zero stars I would! This isn't the friendliest place in town. Sure, it was close to our house but never again will I set foot in this nasty place. Our first interaction with the owner was him making fun of Americans, that was why they have the \"diner special\" posted all over the restaurant. I felt very uncomfortable the second I walked in there. It felt as if he just saw dollar signs when he would glance at my wife and I. On to the food.... Horrible, just horrible, I ordered the Shrimp Lo-mein. To my surprise the food came out really quick! The second he put the plate of hot mess in front of my face the smell almost started my gag reflex. Now I knew why it had come so fast. The mixture of noodle, canned mushrooms, cabbage, snow peas, bamboo shoots and whatever else they had thrown in the mix with the shrimp all had burn marks on them. It looked like they had only stirred the mixture only once, then let the one side just sit in the pan until they smelt it burn, ding, the timer was done. The smell of burnt food actually ended up being the taste of the whole meal! Now, I am one who will have the waiter take back the plate of food if it is not up to eatable standards but in this case I didn't want to have to fight with this guy about how horrible this plate of crap was. I nibbled on what looked eatable then we quickly packed our left overs, paid and left, the closes garbage can we found we threw the food away.I'm not quite sure why or if we ordered the right thing but I can't figure out why this place is getting highish reviews on Yelp. How this place is still open in that matter. I say turn around and run from this place. Go try a different hole in the wall. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1931 | Me and my wife's first 3 Michelin star restaurant. Bottom line is we've been to 1 Michelin star places with much better food. The decor and preso was all very nice but nothing about the food was innovative. I had veal cheeks drenched in what was essentially Tom Yum soup and scallops in Thai coconut curry. The food is not bad by any means... just not worth the $$$$. One positive note was the dessert was very good.Overall, very overpriced for what you get. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1932 | \"No.\" If you ask me about eating at Papaya Thai, that is what I will say. 0 stars for the single kinda scattered and scruffy staffperson. 0 stars for the cook who cannot prepare an offering from the menu as the menu describes it.In this case, I was down to two remaining untried Thai restaurants within quick reach of the Valley Metro Limo, and both in Tempe. The other half was in Tampa, and since he does not care much for Thai, I get the chance to try one. The limo arrived at Southern and Mill at 5:17 PM, and connected me with another limo at Broadway. With traffic, getting to McClintock took nearly 15 minutes. On exiting the limo, 5:50 PM, I walked back about half a block to the restaurant.On entering the restaurant, I picked up a menu and rang the bell and a somewhat harried staff person came to greet me. He asked me where I wanted to sit, at a table with 1 bench looking directly into the side of a huge fish tank...or the next table, which would leave no buffer between myself and the only other table seated in the restaurant. There are at least 120 seats in this restaurant. Why so fiercely contain people in the first three tables close to the door? You must get your business in fits and hurries and keeping only the 3 tables active is working for you? Then again, your telling me you are the only staffperson does not surprise me. The Help Wanted sign on the door was more than an indication that Help is NEEDED!When I was seated, staffperson offered to bring water. The phone rang and he was off, as he offered another version of \"I am the only staffperson here...\" I looked at the menu and made my decision. In the menu, there is a $2 charge listed for sharing. This goes against everything Thai I have ever known. The traditional Thai meal has everyone enjoying some of each dish served. Because of my proximity to the fish tank, I was quite up close and personal with the fish. The water probably isn't filthy, but the plexiglass tank is not helping the perception. 6 PM, as the cellphone chime reminds me of the passing of an hour. I am waiting for water and a staffperson who can take my order. 6:01, the staffperson comes, bearing a pitcher of water and a (My eyes are rolling in opposite directions because I am either overworked or stoned) smile. He filled up my glass and asked if I was ready to order. I replied that I was and ordered Som Tom, the Thai name for the green papaya salad. Staffperson replied that he did not know the Thai names for the menu items. The phone rang again.Staffperson's attention was no longer on me. The phone, his Pavlovian stimuli, had taken him away. I asked if he had heard me. He replied that he needed to go answer the phone. He asked if I minded waiting, as he was the only staffperson. I said I would wait. Off he went, in pursuit of electronic interaction. 6:10 PM, staffperson returns, apologizing for the telephone delay and asking about my order. I ordered the papaya salad without the green beans and steamed rice on the side. Staffperson took the order and went to the kitchen. The phone rang as he left the table, his pace quickening as he approached the phone. 6:18 PM, the door opens and 2 potential patrons enter. The bell rings and staffperson rushes to the waitstand to greet 2 new patrons. 6:20 PM, staffperson returns. He brings the salad and a bowl of rice. The salad that appears has some of the traditional salad ingredients along with ingredients that have no business being in the salad. Som Tom does not have cucumber, shredded lettuce or cilantro. On sending back the initial preparation, staffperson returned with the original preparation, advising the chef stated \"This is a traditional Thai presentation of the dish\". I sent the order back, citing the inconsistencies and asking for a new presentation.6:25 pm. As I empty my water glass, the salad I received previously is returned, minus the cucumber. In asking staffperson if this is a new presentation or if it is an attempt to correct the original, he replied that he did not know. I stood and left. While the advertisement on the window of the establishment says they have \"The Best Curry in the Valley\", they will get no second chance to prove it to me. For all the phone activity, there was no one who came to pick up a carry-out order. Between this and the somewhat glazed staffperson, I have to wonder if this place is not a front for a drug business. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1933 | I really liked this place the first time I ate here but the second time eating here will be my last. The prices jumped up overnight it seemed. The portion sizes were cut back so it didn't feel like I got my money's worth. The staff seemed, poorly trained, we had a waiter try to take our drink orders after someone already took our drink orders, then when the drinks came out only two showed up and the other two people who ordered drinks waited tell their food came out to get the drinks. The staff just seemed like no one knew where to go or what to do. I was embarrassed after talking this place up to my out of towners . I hope this place doesn't last long and something better moves in soon. They would be doing downtown a favor if they did. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1934 | Very rarely do I feel so passionately about a business that I review them mere hours after leaving. Let me start by saying the food here was AMAZING. Everyone was very pleased with their meals and portions were fabulous. With that being said, we had some of the worst service ever. We were a party of 12 for a bachelorette dinner and requested a certain table upon making the reservations. We were told that table was unavailable when we arrived, and were sat elsewhere. Ok, no big deal. Then we sat for about 15 minutes before ANYTHING happened. No water, no drink orders, no bread, nothing. Once we placed our drink orders, it was about a half hour before any of them came. In fact, they came AFTER some of the appetizers. Entrees came after awhile also, but no appetizer plates were cleared so there was no room on the table. Some peoples' sides were incorrect, but the food was great so we tried to power through. Everything was SO slow that we were there for over two hours. When we asked to speak to the manager, he couldn't have cared less that we were disappointed. All in all the food was great but we were so surprised that the service was so bad. If our server was new, I understand it. But considering we didn't really have any crazy requests or substitutions or anything it was pretty bad. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1935 | Saturday night at 6pm. Seated immediately. Waited 15 mins and never had anyone come to the table. Not even to serve us water. They seated two tables after us and both were immediately approached by a server. Manager was wandering around, servers were hanging out near the kitchen staff talking and laughing. We walked out. They still didn't notice. The hostess and the manager were standing at the door. They said thanks for coming in or something similar. Guess they forgot the just seated us as well. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1936 | The service here is the worst- the employees don't care about customer service at all.I think this place only hires high school and young college age employees. I went in to order a cake for my husbands birthday two days before, and the kid that helped me (if you can call it help) acted like I was bothering him just by being there. I had never ordered a cake through Baskin Robbins before and every time I asked a question he looked at me like I was an idiot. I finally got the order done and paid for (He never asked for my name or contact info for the order either) and went on my merry way. We had a change of plans for our get together and I needed to get the cake a day sooner, so I called to see if they could accommodate. After much back and forth I was told that the cake would be ready by 6pm and that they would call me when it arrived so I could pick it up. By 630 I hadn't recieved a call, so a friend and I went to pick it up. The 3 teenaged girls working had NO idea what was going on, and talked to me like I was stupid for coming a day early for the cake. Turns out that the cake decorator was unable to finish the cake, but the store failed to call to inform me. I told them I would be in the next morning to get the cake. The next day my husband and I went in to get the cake and I was informed that they had CANCELLED THE CAKE. So not only did my guests not have cake to enjoy, but my poor husband did not get a cake for his birthday all because some dumb kids couldn't get things right. The \"manager\" (who was busy flirting with a customer when we arrived, and seemed annoyed that she had to help a customer instead) did nothing to fix the issue so I had to submit a complaint to corporate. Terrible service. and the store was filthy every time I was there. The owner clearly has no idea how poorly the store is being run. If they did they would probably fire the lot of them.Bottom line? go somewhere else.**UPDATE** When I called to file a complaint with the corporate office, I was told the franchise owner would contact me within 4 business days. It has been more than two weeks with no contact. This leads me to believe that the problem here stems from poor franchise ownership and has trickled down. Clearly customer satisfaction is not a goal for this owner. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1937 | My chicken was burnt, the side that was black was facing down to hide it! I sent it back and ordered a rare steak. It came out well done and full of gristle. Their idea of making amends, was to ONLY charge for the burnt chicken, but took off the steak! Unbelievable! We won't be back! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1938 | Poor Management!!! I wish I would have read the other reviews before eating at Bandera tonight. I was a long time fan and I'm still a big fan of Hillstone on Camelback. But will not go back to Bandera until I'm notified the manager \"Mark Poltntan\" is no longer employed by Hillstone. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1940 | So let's just be clear, if your looking for decent service, you should go somewhere else. The service is the BIGGEST problem with the restaurant. However, if your looking for an amazing wing sauce, and some of the best house made blue cheese and possibly a cold draft beer selection, then and only then will you want to go to this establishment ( to say they're as welcoming and friendly as the old mean lunch lady (and not Chris Farley's version), would be an understatement). I walk in and there are 3 hostesses or employees standing at the host stand talking and do not bother to turn around and greet me or say HI!, so I walk past them and seat myself. OOOO-K...Then I sit at the bar and I look at the clock, it took the bartender 6 minutes to greet me. I worked in this industry and for a table it was a minute, but for door greetings, bar greeting, store greetings, a customer should be greeted within 30 seconds. A hi, hello, be with you, SMILE, ANYTHING! Comes over does not apologize for the wait. I almost feel bad promoting how good the wings are because I do not believe in giving business to an establishment that doesn't pride them self in service. If i had a great experience with service this place could be a 4 or 5! Now I do to-go only! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1941 | I an a mother of a 2yr old. and i make my daughter learn at an early age that education is IMPORTANT. i use to attend toddler time at the WINDMILL location and they are amazing. i attended library time for my toddler at this location and it was terrible. They provide service for toddlers, a time for learning. and those who are parents should understand the importance of educating your children the right way. this place was not structured for a place to learn. the \"story time\" teacher was terrible. NOT A PLACE TO BRING KIDS TO LEARN AND TEACH BEHAVIOR SKILLS | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1942 | This place is a joke.Looked fwd to visiting after seeing their ads & website announce how homemade & from scracth the food was. Our waitress,while nice enough, took a long time to get us drinks. We asked for `real` milk not creamers for our coffee and she looked as us like we were from outer space.She finally brought a 1/4 cup (like adrinking glass cup) of milk which was hard to pur into coffee without spilling. It was Sunday and it was `busy` but they seemed to have enough staff on hand to not warrant a 40 minute wait for crappy food. Just as I was about to get up my food came. Wife had eggs & bacon and I had chicken breats w/country gravy & 3 eggs on `special`. How long should this take to scoop awful sloppy gravy onto a bolw with a fried breast and some eggs?. Awful from top to bottom NOT WORTH the trip from the strip (or anywhere).Plus it was EXPENSIVE- like Bellagio expensive,if I want these prices I`ll stay on strip. Lastly, the checkout sells Christian books, not somethng I appreciate when people mix their religion into business | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1943 | The Cashier Lady, at a Korean supermarket of \"Greenland\", is so terrible!! No smile, NEVER says \"hello\" nor \"thank you\". Always tapping her fingers even when customers are at the check out counter, so ANNOYED!! She should know what is a customer service. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1944 | This place is a crap hole. Stayed here approximately 4 times and progressively it's gotten worse. We are staying in the \"newer\" tower rooms. Motel 6 had better furniture. The dresser and nightstand were scratched, chipped and pieces of wood missing. To add onto that joy, every time we came back at night we had to fight for parking spaces and didn't get one tonight. So...we are now in a 30 minute valet line to park. Horrible. And never again will I stay here. Stay anywhere else and you'll have a better experience! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1945 | Here's a thought, don't post on the door to your restaraunt \"Up scale Mexican Food\" unless you can prove it. This was not upscale, it was barely pass-able as decent. Didn't help that the waitress got both of our orders wrong. Will not return. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1946 | Of the 13 times in the last 10 years, we've stayed here 11 times; this was our favorite hotel and casino. We love the location, the casino, the Starbucks inside- everything.Checking in has never been the most hospitable part of the trip. We understand that they're trying to get a bunch of people checked in and out simultaneously, and we don't mind waiting in the long line.We booked our trip long before the 3PM check-in time rule, and we arrived at 8 in the morning. I asked the Manager how I might be able to pay the extra $25 dollars to check in early, and he quite rudely told me that I just couldn't check in until later. He then told me that we had to leave the lobby, and take our luggage out of it. When I asked another person what was going on, she begged me to please get my luggage out of the lobby before her Manager had a talk with her about it.When we were finally able to check in at 10AM, I commented on how rude the Manager was (and that everyone else was nice) and she looked worried that he might overhear me. He stood in the background frowning and shaking his head \"no\" the entire 20 minutes we waited in the express check-in line.I HATE IT WHEN EMPLOYEES ARE SCARED OF THEIR BOSSES- this is not the way to manage staff. This is unprofessional, and does not give the customer a very good impression of how things are run.Plus- the pool is a miserly little pad of water, and all of the chairs are chained together in these creepy rows. It's just not aesthetic or comfortable to sunbathe so close to strangers. Every other hotel on the strip has a much better family-friendly pool, even the Flamingo or the Monte Carlo!We have just booked another trip, and we're going to stay elsewhere, until we hear they've gotten their acts together. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1947 | ehh overrated!!price was ok, but the food was not. Our steak was really thin and dry. We requested medium-rare but what they gave us was overcooked..other plates didn't have much flavor.. One thing I HATED!!about this place was the menu they handed us.I was sticky, dirty, blurry at some parts... ewwwseriously, they should print new ones and put new covers on it.. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1948 | Another overpriced tourist trap that happens to be on the strip, with a Mexican Decor. The food was the same that you would probably find at your local Chili's or other chain restaurant that happens to sell fajitas. The only good thing about this place would be the salsa. The only reason we went to this place was because the group of friends I went with really wanted to check it out. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1949 | I went there for lunch with my boyfriend. We are both cajun food fans. We ordered the spinach artichoke dip with crab. I ordered jambalaya, and he ordered the combination plate. They were all edible but not very pleasing to the palate. The staff was nice, but the main entries took almost an hour to come out. It was pretty disappointing. I don't think I would come back. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1952 | Food fair, but it doesn't make up for the absolute rudeness and lack of customer service from the employees. They act as if they are doing you a favor buy taking your money. And the customer is just an annoyance. If you open a business in America your employees need to be able to clearly communicate with your customers | negative |

Tempe is filled with other great places to eat.Bring some raid! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1956 | HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!! I booked a king strip view room and although the view of the MGM and Tropicana was nice, the room wasn't. Carpets stains, toilet ghost flushing and running constantly all night and A/C kept waking me up when it shut off. This property blows! The analog TV was fuzzy and the bed was too firm for my liking. The Hooters girls look bored when dealing and don't even smile. The Hooters restaurant also has a poor staff and manager. I wait to be seated and nobody tells me anything, so I seated myself. I order boneless and I get traditional. To top it all off....I booked my room through a popular third party website and at checkout I ask for the total and I am billed a higher price. I tell the employee at the front desk that INCLUDING A RESORT FEE it should be lower (RESORT FEE???? This is no resort) and she just smirks. I ask her to please find out why I'm being billed a higher price and after she kept me waiting forever and she finally comes back and says there was an \"error.\" No apology. Again this is the Las Vegas of today. Poor customer service. I will never in my life go back to that horrible Hooters hotel in Vegas. It needs to be imploded like many others have been before it. I don't care how cheap it is or close to the strip it is. Stay away!!!! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1957 | This place is ridiculous. For the record, the view is really nice and worth seeing, but the food is atrocious. It's not that the ideas for a particular dish aren't interesting, it's that the meats, cuts, and vegetables are flavorless and/or terrible. For a $35 salmon dish, the salmon dish was farmed! Farmed salmon at a restaurant like this! What are they trying to pass off on us?!? Moreover, the wine list was terrible. So the view may be good but if I remember correctly, you go to restaurants for food. But, apparently the restaurateurs who conceived the elements don't subscribe to this philosophy. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1959 | We will never go back, all their meats are overpriced and low quality. We received rotting lamb (sell by date was 8 days out and was $1.49 more per lb than Harris Teeter), ground beef that was super dark brown on the inside, chicken was really chewy, Walmart quality. We also asked the butcher to cut 5 2.5\" thick bone in t-bone style pork chops, first she came back with the wrong cut of meat, second attempt she came back with a 1.25\" cut, we handed it back to them and went to Harris Teeter. | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1964 | Was on a business trip in Phoneix and decided I wanted some Paki food. After reading some reviews I decided on Khyber Halal. Since I was from out of town I decided to give them a call and confirm there hours, I was told last order is an hour before the restaurant closes. Me and three of my coworkers grabbed a cab and headed over there. We arrived an hour and ten minutes before closing, as we headed to a table the cashier, Abudallah told us take out only. We mentioned to him that we called and they said as long as we come an hour before closing we would be served. He repeated take out only, we told him we were from out of town and didn't have a place to take them. He told us that was what the manager had told him, we asked to see the manager, he told us that the manager wasn't available. At this point he said we are out of food, and pretty much told us to get the F out. Couldn't believe it, ended up spending $40 in cabs without getting anything to eat. We ended at Curry Corner(Tempe), with better service. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1965 | After constantly hearing about Blackstrap BBQ this place has been a Yelp bookmark of mine for months now. Sadly it's located in Verdun and only a special occasion would bring me to this part of town... as luck would have it a small community Yelp event brought close to a dozen Yelpers to this place during happy hour. I just couldn't say no to this.The first thing I noticed is that it's pretty much a hole in a wall, you can easily walk RIGHT by without even noticing it. Parking in this area is also ridiculously difficult as the area houses countless duplexes that has locals taking up all the parking spots leaving you to take the paid parking spots... which haven't been modernized in any shape or form. It's 2014 folks, I've been paying my parking spots all over Montreal for the last decade from an mobile app or parking machine that accepts credit cards... why is this place still accepting coins? Ridiculous!I ordered their reputed burnt ends poutine and some root beer. The service was about an average wait but they were kind enough to bring me my food while I was sitting outside on their terrace with fellow Yelpers while I nursed my root beer. :)Sadly, I wasn't a fan of their poutine. While the metal encased portion was generous and it was definitely heavy... I couldn't finish it for multiple reasons. Kindly note, that I feel I might be the oddball here but I felt the fries weren't up to par to what I've had for places hyped such as this place. The cheese was somewhat skimped on and the gravy sauce... which should hold everything together... was weak. The brisket meat was good though. They do offer you some BBQ sauce bottles to spice up their poutine such as a sweet or spicy sauce container but I honestly feel if you NEED to do this, your poutine isn't really what it should be. Fries, cheese curds, gravy. Maybe some extra condiments to your liking... that's what it should be. Sweet or spicy sauce shouldn't be added. But that's just me. However, the sweet sauce made the mediocre poutine actually more edible. So Hooray?The price tag is somewhat expensive for poutine. I know there's a sort of gastronomic feeling to have that meat in your poutine, I still felt this poutine was far more expensive than it should be. I'm sure from other reviews they have other quality things one can order but I haven't had the chance and thus my reviews is solely for the poutine and thus, it's pretty forgettable amongst stiff competition in Montreal and while other Yelpers beside me were dealing with hairs found in their portion of poutine or the extremely fatty cuts of brisket, I guess this place simply isn't for me. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1966 | Sure I was dragged here kicking and screaming to this place...A cover charge for some music that wasnt my liking...what the heck?!I demand a refund! The parking is horrendous!!!Its highly likely that I will not return to this place | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1967 | It's the day before NYE 2011 and I'm here with my family visiting from Hawaii for an end of the year night out. It's not the first time we've been here as the food here is quite good and is quite evident by the fact that there is a half hour line waiting to be seated.Unfortunately, while the food on the appetizer menu is quite tasty and their sushi is average, the service tonight was below average. Our server was busy and as attentive as she could be, but the issues were rather with the items on the menu which were out of stock / not available. While she informed us of both the hamachi kama and salmon kama being out, she failed to let us know that the uni (quite possibly one of the best items on the menu) was also unavailable as their vendor didn't have any in stock to deliver. We found out about the lack of uni when she came by to ask what we would like for dessert as all of us were anticipating another plate of sushi to be delivered to the table.Now let me explain... I could have totally understood this if there was some mention made of this before or while we were putting in our initial order. I could have even been okay with this (although disappointed) if this was mentioned in the middle of dinner. Instead, my family waited in anticipation for a plate of uni nigiri and was instead greeted with the information at the near end of our meal. Uni itself is sea urchin and is definitely not for everyone. No matter where you order it, you will either love or hate it. For some I think it's a consistency issue. In the case of my family, we love it! We have actually walked out of other sushi bars here in Las Vegas because they didn't have any. Las Vegas has many sushi bars and almost limitless choices of great food. Over the past few years, we have actually followed the owner of this establishment from other places he has co-owned or worked at as the food has always been good. Tonight when my father approached him about the lack of uni, he seemed dismissive and quite unapologetic to the point where my father was going to leave an 8 cent tip on the check to get his message across that perhaps in this economy that service and humility toward your customer can only get you ahead while the adverse will get you the opposite. I left an additional $20 with the check (and my father's 8 cents).The sushi here is okay. I actually drive a cab and have been recommending this establishment whenever I'm asked in person or on the dispatch radio about a sushi bar. The items on the appetizer list are awesome and I definitely recommend the Garlic Chicken and Tako Karaage. Tonight was just an unfortunate experience and I definitely feel that the situation could have been handled differently.I'll be back again in the new year and hope that things are better. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1968 | I'm sad to say that The Place has gone very much downhill since their move to a bigger location. I've given them a few chances hoping it was just growing pains, but it's taken way too long to get back on their game.I am part of a regular group that used to go here every Friday morning. We always sat on the patio of the old place and always got the best service. Super friendly, fast coffee refills--they were just ON.After they moved across the street, they began to make it clear that they would not be accommodating our group. They wouldn't set up a table for us and tried to shove us into individual booths, even when there were only 5 or 6 of us. They have a \"back room\" with larger tables that they wouldn't open at the time we got there (~6:00am) claiming staffing issues. They finally and begrudgingly let us back there along with several other larger groups facing a similar circumstance; we were basically ignored. They might has well just told us to our faces that they would not be serving us as a group and saved us all the trouble.Don't read between the lines here--we are not a loud, annoying, or demanding group. We are just some guys that like to get together at breakfast.Sadly, our concerns were not heard or passed on to anyone who cared, so I doubt we will ever be back. We've since moved on to places that will gladly accept our business. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1969 | We will not go back !! The ribs looked big and meaty but were tough. The Mac n cheese was dry and no flavor potato salad was the same. The pulled pork sandwich was dry and tasteless. Bun also dry. Fast service but what good is that when it is bad food. Sorry but I tell it like it is and I am not a real picky eater. Going to try the other restaurant there the next time...... | negative |

restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1971 | A group of us went last night, the lights were dimmed so low it was impossible to see the menu, we asked twice to turn the lights up and the waiter said the manager yelled at him when he tried to turn them up - so the waiter had to bring out several candles in order for us to read the menu. The prices were reasonable, the noise was loud, the seating was nice but the main thing was they were out of certain items on the menu - they ran out of calamari and ricotta cheese. I have never been to any Italian restaurant which ran out of ricotta cheese and since about 1/4 of the menu had items with ricotta they were not available to order. Also the kitchen closes down even if their are people in the restaurant ordering food so that too limited the food we could order. When ordering the Italian Sausage be advised the sausage is hot not mild so it is spicy which should be on the menu but was not, also when ordering hot tea be advised they do not have teapots nor do they bring a saucer for the tea cup so the waiter had to keep bringing cups of hot water out for us since there were no teapots. Reasonable Prices, Some really good food while other food was just plain not good, The desserts - the cannolis which are real easy to make were very good and the tiramusi was good as well. Their bread and rolls are home made but when they bring them out they are stone cold and taste awful so ask for hot bread and you will need to ask for it as the waiter will not casually bring it. Also the wait staff does not bring out table spoons so we can roll our pasta and everything took so long the waiter just waited on us no personality, it took forever for he to come back and check on us and we were the only people in the restaurant so the service needs helpWe went back the following Thursday to see maybe they were having a bad night or something nope it was the same - they were out of two more ingredients this time - hot green tea and cavelli pasta plus we had to send out pizza which was awful back and the cannolis which were good the first visit were sent back this visit as they left out a key ingredient from the cream. This place is hit and miss and the food is below average. the appetizers are good esp the dates and the brie cheese otherwise not much else. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1972 | This is the neighborhood Foodland that has the bare necessities needed to sustain a pantry or for when the next snowstorm of the century is a day away and you only have minutes to get TP, bread and milk. The bakery here is tops, small selection, but really well made specialities. Huge brownies, iced and moist. They are easily 5 inch squares, topped with things like Oreo cookies, nuts, sprinkles, and other yummy delights. The best thing I found is the individual pineapple upside-down cakes. Perfect for one person, these are just like the big ones, same buttery cake, same crunchy edges from the brown sugar melting as it bakes, and that almost candied pineapple that has bece one of my favorite desserts of all time.Try the foccacia dripping with evoo, fresh basil and tomatoes and mozzarella cheese, you'll never buy pizzeria pizza ever again. Take a few home and pop them in the oven and enjoy. I come here when I need the staples of the pantry like eggs, milk, even a pound of ground beef. The deli isn't the greatest but it will do in a pinch. Good rotisserie chickens too. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1973 | Gilleys used to be located at The New Frontier Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas before the place got demolished to dust. In those days Gilleys featured not only a mechanical bull but also bikini mud wrestling. Cold Beer and Dirty Girls was the mantra and it was a trip to remember. So my excitement was peaked when i found out that the place had relocated to the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino. However my excitement was short lived ( as was my peak) when i found out that the dirty girls wrestling in the mud had been replaced with senior citizens line dancing the night away. The term \"titty alert\" which had been used at many a mud wrestling events to describe a fighters wardrobe malfunction had turned into a \"old bitty alert\". To add insult to injury , the only person riding a bull was a thirty something year old male misfit from Brokeback Mountain. So with a broken spirit i had the hostess find the wife and I a table. She was nice enough to sit us in a spot that overlooked the Vegas Strip, nice, but still not mud wrestling. Gilleys specializes in BBQ and has always done a good job at it. After reviewing the menu Simone and I started with Sweet Potato Fries served with molasses ketchup and a maple marshmallow dipping sauce. For some odd reason the marshmallow sauce was a light green ( i dare not ask why). It worked well with the crispy fries and probably would have worked just as well with a peanut butter sandwich. The molasses ketchup was also good and Simone and I finished it all. For our Entrees Simone tried the house chili. It was average and light on the spice, and reminded me more of spaghetti sauce then it did chili. I probably could have made some at my own house for a fraction of the cost and it would have been much better and i at least would have served it with some chips. For my own entree, I choose the Classic Pulled Pork Sandwich. It was a huge portion of pulled pork piled high on a garlic toasted bun topped with creamy coleslaw. The pork was smoked perfectly and had great flavor and moistness. However this did cause the bun below to quickly get soggy which was disappointing because the bun was very good before it turned to mush. The fries that the sandwich was served with were some of the best i have had in a long time. They were super thin and super crispy and may have been the highlight of the plate. Overall this version of Gilleys left me a little dissapointed. It still serves great BBQ ( and good fries) but the other offerings were lacking in flavor. I still prefer the Dirty Girls and Cold Beer days of old. I hope that some day the mudd will return and Gilleys will once again be a little more country and a little more dirty | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1974 | We went here to watch a Laker playoff game and enjoy dinner. The food was good but service sucked. After we got our food and one round of drinks our waiter disappeared. We had to take it upon ourselves to get our drinks at the bar. He could have easily racked up a much larger bill and tip had he been more attentive. I was very disappointed. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1975 | This location of Applebee's was disappointing. We stopped in for a quick dinner. It was during their happy hour (3-6pm) so some of the appetizers were 1/2 off. We wanted to try their chicken quesadilla. It was full of chicken, bacon and cheese. Actually this was probably the best part of dining here. For our meal we split the chicken fajita rollup with french fries. A long long time ago, this used to be my favorite thing to order here. Boy have times changed. It really wasn't great. The french fries they served with it were horrible. My body dehydrated after eating one because of all the salt they dumped on them. I had to drink a lot water after one french fry. Needless to say I didn't eat anymore. Service here really lacked. I think our waiter/bartender just rolled out of bed. There wasn't any sense of courtesy or personality. Sorry Applebee's but I think you dropped the ball... and it rolled away. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1976 | First of all, I've been coming to Oregano's since 1997. I love this place and this was my first experience at the new location at 67th ave and Bell. This location was overdue! Too bad it's so small and the bar seating is only for four people. Way Too small! Angela the bartender was very nice. Now to my food. I ordered the Numero One -0 without onions and green peppers WITH Hatch green chili and extra cheese. I received a pizza with onion and very little green chili. The chili was right out of a can with no taste. Very disappointing. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1977 | Talk about going downhill. We have been here several times before and the food was very good and a great option when you are downtown. That has all changed. The food was mediocre at best, and certainly not worth what was being charged. They clearly changed vendors or downgraded the quality of the beef they used because all of the steaks were terrible - tough, tasteless and despite being ordered at Medium came at shoe leather - so back they went. The worst part of the evening, however, was the atmosphere and the manger's refusal to tone down an extremely drunk and loud party of 3. I know, how can a party of 3 disrupt an entire restaurant? Vegas, baby! They did. I have been at super bowl sports bars that were less noisy. It is a small dining room, so one loud party allowed to do their thing will ruin (and did) the dining experience for everyone else - with the manager's blessing. We complained to her as we left, given our complaints to the waiter were only met with stares of there is nothing I can do. We will never be back. Take you money and go play MegaMillion. Your odds of having a good time are far better than throwing it away here. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1978 | In Atlantic City this would be a solid 4 stars, believe it or not. However, compared to what's happening south of the Riviera on The Strip right now, meh.There are a couple of things to note on the good side- the slots are never crowded and neither are the table gamesthe crowd here is as unpretentious as you can get the history of the resort is hard to match- Dino used to be a part owner and Liberace was the headliner here shortly after the doors opened for the first time. Frank Sinatra had one of the rooms in the Monte Carlo Tower remodeled to meet his tastes during one of his runs. There are a few exhibits of the heyday of the Riviera near the Monaco Tower including a great photo of Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis onstage together.rooms are cheapPeppermill is right next doorOn the bad side-it's dated inside...from the way it's decorated to the way it's operatedunless you can appreciate \"Old Vegas\" you won't think you are getting the Vegas experience hereSome new developments are underway nearby which may force the Riv to update and upgrade in order to stay relevant. For now, they are firmly in the 70s & 80s in terms of style and it's not even good enough for hipster irony right now. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1979 | Delicious food. Horrible service at this location. Go to the Southern and McClintock location for better service and friendlier staff. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1980 | I don't know man. My dude and I came in here for some drinks before our reservation over at Herbs & Rye and as soon as I walked in I had a bad vibe. I thought the bartender was friendly but the crowd was pretty shifty. A random guy came over and just started bragging about his job and the people he worked with. A woman from across the bar kept looking over at me, even after I gave her a good stare down. The best part was that 2 beers and 2 shots of Jameson came in under $10-15. I like my drinks cheap and this place did that for me, but I also like to be comfortable in my surroundings. Not sure if I'd come back. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1981 | Not to impressed. The dancers are very pushy and money hungry. I understand they are there to make money but to stand around talking shit about the other dancers and saying how they are better was a huge turn off. Felt like we were dealing with high school boys. We left within 2 hours of being there. I never thought I would say this but Chippendales was alot more fun. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1982 | I came here with some friends, and was utterly disappointed. I ordered the fajitas, and the meat was limited. I had 15 pitas but 8 pieces of meat, a little cup of guacamole, and lots of onions. What is that? The service was slow, it took 10 minutes for the waiter to collect payment, but took less then a minute to bring the bill. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1983 | Figured I'd give this place another chance. Friend wanted some furniture and i needed a new bed. Paid in cash for a new bed. They didn't want to deliver to my place. My friend still wanted his bed. I figured i would just rent my own truck and transport his and mine and save money anyways. After getting everything organized, and showing up at the store bright and early, the lady tells me we need to go to the warehouse. Not during the 2 hour process did anyone say i needed to go to the warehouse. My friend agreed. No one said that. Only a few miles away, no big deal. Inconvenient and costing me per mile in the rented truck but....anyways. Go to the warehouse, pick up the beds, drop them off, drop off the truck and get home to crash on my new bed...only problem...it's the wrong bed. Congratulations! This company just made my list for never again. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1984 | We had a group of 13 of us today for a birthday/football get together .. Let me tell you that this place SUCKS We never even made it thru the door and this goon of a door man was looking at us Geez dude it's Sunday football and it's ScottsdaleWe were dressed appropriately . Bottom line isThis place SUCKS way better places in ScottsdaleThen this doucher don't waste your money here | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1985 | This was the place to be! back in 1983 now time has been harsh to this place. Maintaince issues and rough edges detract from this place.Ceiling lights missing their covers, Tiles on the outdoor baseboards falling off and covered in over spray from a cheap paint job. Staff wearing tuxedo like clothing that on paper looked good but in reality was wrinkled and a thin facade.The food here too lacked any unique presentation or flavor. The bar did seem to have decent prices, and to add to the class the urinals in the restroom have cup holders so you can bring that drink with you. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1986 | Some restaurants in this area have Chicago-envy. That must be the problem with Radio Maria. The fusion menu doesn't work because the chef has not mastered the basic cuisines that they are trying to blend. Dishes are overly complex and are either bland or actively taste bad. The staff used to describe it as a Caribbean-Polish Fusion. (Really.) I have no idea what's going on now. Spanish-Korean? Soul Food Middle Eastern Style? Masa boats. Frog legs. Ground coffee rubs. Pad Thai. Torta. The motto seems to be: when in doubt, add more things that don't go together, none of it done well.This could only be mistaken for sophistication by people who have never been anywhere sophisticated. Stay away! | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1987 | This review is from march and was posted on the wrong Picazzos. Such a disappointment. I've enjoyed picazzos in Sedona and tempe and even the cactus location and the food and service quality has always been fantastic. Today we went in at 1230 with 5 people. The restaurant was more than half empty but I only saw 2 servers. They were extremely understaffed for what these servers could handle. It took 7 minutes to be greeted and took 20 (YES TWENTY) minutes just to get our drinks (all fountain drinks or waters.....) it took 15 minutes for an appetizer and our food arrived much later than that. When our food did arrive one person didn't even receive theirs. So disappointed. The waitress blamed it on the \"new cook.\" No apologies. She never came to check on how the food was. And now, 3 hours later all 5 of us are suffering from some form of food illness. I have been in the restaurant for years and if I preformed how the staff did today I would be fired on spot. Such a waste of a beautiful location and gorgeous restaurant. Shame. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1988 | I am very disappointed with the service that we received at Ashley. They use blatant bait and switch techniques. They advertised a special and then only have the piece available by order or in Casa Grande. Instead they try to push you toward another more expansive product in the store. Everything that they sell is made after you pay and they started by telling us that their warrantee covered anything that could happen to the couch. Until we brought up the BBB reports and complaints about their warrantee then they came clean about the real deal. I just don't understand the predatory sales model and the desire to miss lead the consumer. It's sad because I really like their stuff. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1989 | Not the same as I remember since I moved. It not worth the money . I just wanted to know if it is the same as I remember. There no heart or passion in the food. For new Mexico food, visit the state of New Mexico for the food. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1990 | Unfortunately, I will no longer be dining at Yummiakis. I have been eating there regularly since it opened- service tends to be slow but the food, for an all you can eat restaurant, is great and is worth the wait. However, I arrived at 2 pm for lunch with a guest and they refused to seat us. Signage and website say they close at 3. No concern shown for the inconvenience. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1991 | It took them forever to make my sandwich. It was ok but not the best quality meat. The set up and process to order is cute and a fun experience but the food itself was a little overpriced for what you get as well. I would look at it as a lower on the list sandwich stop. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1992 | Terrible management. Inconsistent carding policies. Crabby servers. Too dark, extremely loud, and below average food. Don't waste your time. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1993 | ehh...no. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1994 | I don't get it. I ordered a couple of slices of veggie pizza. It was loaded with fresh veggies and I love that, but the overall taste of the pizza was just OK. This pizza must be eaten immediately, the leftover slice 2 hours later made me wanna cry. I only ate half of it and sadly threw it out! I spent way to much money for bad pizza. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1995 | If you come to Pittsburgh, you have to make a stop at Primanti Brothers. It has been featured on several travel and food shows like Man Vs. Food.My friend took me here for dinner and each of us ordered a cheesesteak, which is considered the #2 best seller. This sandwich is HUGE! Mainly because of all the coleslaw and french fries piled high within the sandwich. The cheesesteak itself was okay and the meat looked processed. Not that great. However, the bread is nice and soft. I also ordered a pint of Yuengling on draft. Good beer...If I do come back, I'm interested in trying the roast beef. It seems like this restaurant is hit or miss depending on what you order. Also the original location is in the Strip district while this location is near the University of Pitt campus, so lots of college students. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1996 | Worst Dave and Busters ever! The food was ok. The service was horrible. Our waitress accused one of my friends of underage drinking. She brought her manager over to our table and carded my friend who is 22. He then started asking questions and walk away with his ID. He Came back a few mins later and gave my friend his card back. For the rest of the night the manager continued to overlook our table and kept passing by scrutinizing every move we made. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1997 | I'm not sure where to start. So I'll start at the end. Disputed charges, 18 phone calls, refunded money, and two months of life wasted. All because they sold me a couch that was not made of the same material as the couch in the show room. Seriously the foam inside was different used and dirty.Technicians they send to your house don't even know what they are doing and they don't speak highly of their own company. No and I mean no customer service at all. They play games with you on the phone. They use super nice statements and happy tones to try to calm you down before your even upset. Then they state policies and try to get you off the phone ASAP. I guess this is why the stores don't have direct phone numbers. Bottom line. This company only cares about money and not you! This was the worst shopping and customer service experience of my life. The products are no good. Spend a few extra bux and go somewhere that sells quality. When making large purchases customer service and peace of mind is worth every penny. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1998 | STILL haven't heard from manager Kevin. Will keep experience short. Planned a surprise party for friend, we all work in the area. 34 RSVPd and 42 showed. I got there early to decorate, 6/30 event date. That night's manager greeted me and gave me choice of area. Tables were set for 6 but only fit 4 comfortably. Eyes rolled when I mentioned this, was told these were designated for us. When more showed up, as often happens, better more, than less, I was told we could not overflow to empty tables. Are you kidding me! Treat them as walk-ins and take their order. One waitress commented, \"That's why I hate working these events.\" I thought the objective was to work for tips with good service. When one person finally got waitresses attention, \"You want another one ?\"(beer) she'd had only one. I could go on and on, but don't want to get irritated again. AND an 18% gratuity was was added to everyone's bill. Many had to wait unreasonably long for food and service and felt gratuity too much. I never sat down as I was trying to keep folks calm and happy. The food was fair, nothing special. I plan work gatherings often in the area, last one here. Many of the guests live nearby and said they would not return. South Phx. has many choices now, will book with them. I called Kevin several times prior to event to make sure all was in order. I've yet to hear back from him after event. I've even emailed him on website saying, perhaps he'd like to call for feedback before I Yelped. Crickets. May be okay for a group of 4, not able to handle a large group. Bartender started waiting tables and was very rude. Need a steak house? I've used Rustler's Rooste for 45 and have only compliments. Yeah, my event was T-Boned, crashed with Terrible service. | negative |
restaurant | test | restaurant_test_1999 | Been going for over 10 years and thrown out after talking with the former owner's son and security letting them know to look at their cameras (eyes in the sky) to prove that I was not guilty of what I was accused because the bathroom attendant, who wasn't even watching us, said she witnessed it. I'd bet on the cameras any day. If you want a fair party with no female jealousy drama do NOT go here. Better at Piranha across the street. Sorry you have to pay if you're not local but you WILL NOT get thrown out without a proper discussion of the situation. Oh and there is Gypsy too if you are a lover of the hip hop genre...that's Piranha across the street from the Freezone. http://www.piranhavegas.com/ Click that link to find out the address, etc. | negative |
