My father is a meat-and-potatoes manly man kind of eater, so when my roommate and I were in town we decided to treat him to some barbecue at the Flying Mango. It was pleasantly buzzing with friendly servers and friendly cooks behind the counter serving up food at an amazing pace. I had the 25 hour b...

This is one of the finest steak houses I have ever been too. A wonderful atmosphere that is second to none, outstanding service. Highly recommend.
The food tasted fresh (but nothing spectacular) in a clean and well-maintained setting. The service was slow.

I've eaten at Centro many times and always had decent service ... but the last time I went with a coworker for lunch, it was ridiculous. We waited 45 minutes for a table (understandable in lunch rush), then waited for the server ... then put our orders in right away. We ordered pizza and salads — ve...

My experiences at Manhattan Deli have all been fantastic, I go about once a week and my boyfriend goes more often than that. It drives me crazy when someone writes a scathing review that I know is not true. Manhattan deli is a family-run local business, sorry you can't treat the staff badley like ...

The food was fantastic, but what wait to get it! We were seated immediately, but waited 20 minutes for a server. Our food then sat in the kitchen window for a long time and our watiress was not in sight. We would go back for the food and hope the wait staff will be more efficient.

I love the diverse food and the atmoshpere is awesome!! The service is never very good but the food makes up for it!!
B&B Deli is the best. Their Dad's Killer is fantastic. This place reminds me a lot like that old show Cheers...Where everyone knows your name...only with great food. The guys there can make a great sandwich and update you on your favorite sports team all at the same time. Their Dad's Killer is ...

I've never written a review before but I was so infuriated with the service I received that I had to share it with others. It's too bad that in today's society people are not treated with respect. We had a very bad experience at Buzzard Billy's. Our table was seated right away - no waiting. But,...

Service was horrible. We were seated quickly then our server took forever to get to our table and only came back two or three times. We ordered our lunch and it took an hour to get it. During which time other guests were seated and had eaten and where gone before our food even got to our table....

From the moment you step into the restaurant you will encounter an odd musty smell...once you get past that then the drinks are good and the food okay. BUT expect to wait a VERY VERY long time for your food. My table waited over 1 hour (during lunch) for food. When we asked to speak to a manger we w...
A group of coworkers and I decided to try out the 'new' Johnny's for lunch on Thursday, March 20th. We arrived around 11:30, didn't get to order until 12:00, and the food did not arrive until 12:30. I ordered the small Ceasar Salad; when it arrived (in a cup just slightly larger than a coffee cup), ...

The food is absolutely terrible. It tastes like microwaveable food you can buy at Indian grocery stores. Anyone who says this place is excellent has no idea what they're talking about. They most-likely work at the restaurant or they know someone who does.

Fantastic surprise. Away from home, on the road, hating the weather, and in desperate need of a neighborhood restaurant with good food, good prices, and a friendly staff. I found it! If you've had it with chain restaurants where the food is at best mediocre and the owner nowhere to be found, go to...
