I was expecting this place to be more expensive. It has same brands as Pac Sun and Mainland, but other non-brand names too. Thus, making it cheaper! YEAH! Cute clothes for kids, girls and guys. The girls greet you right when you walk in, and are very friendly if you need any help. Try it out, I think you'll be surprised by the price.

Hmmm....We came on a Wednesday.  There was about 10 people here.  It was karaoke night.  It was not loud or packed; apparently how it is on the weekends.  I liked the smell of it here, however when I woke up the next morning, the way my hair smelled made me sick. (wash hair before you go to bed)  Probably wouldn't go back on a Wednesday night.  

And the outfits the girls wear!? They're cute if you have the body for it...that's all I'm saying.

Voted one of the best tri tip sandwiches in Fresno. (Cosmos, Ribs and Tips and Doghouse grill also made the list) These babies are flooded with meat!  They're cheap, delicious and the guys behind the counter are always very friendly.  Can you ask for more?

Ronnies also sell slush puppies.  I love these, and they're hard to find now!  They have great deals on produce and meat too! It's kind of easy to miss though if you've never been here before.

I only really had the bagels when someone from work would bring them in.  And I always love them, I honestly don't know why I never came in.

UGHHHH!!!!  I've been missing out and I'm so upset! These things were yummy, (wheat spinach florentine) they were quick, (pay and ready in 5 minutes) and they were cheap ($3). AND they open up at 5:30, I leave to work by 6:20 every morning and the only quick places that's open is starbucks. I'm in love with you Harry, I'm just sad we didn't meet sooner.

Late night happy hour?!  Love it.  $3 beers, 1/2 off apps.  10-2:00, yes you caught that right, 2:00am! Isn't that great? You probably shouldn't be eating nachos or potato skins at 1:00 am, but that's besides the point....

Aqua Shi Asian Fusion Grill & Sushi Lounge

Nice eclectic set of people. Nobody was too "cluby" but then again nobody was really 'friendly' either. Do you know what I mean? Very kick back place The night we went pilot touhill and clouded vision played. They deserve 5 stars! Great performance boys. And maybe my review of the crowd could be skewed because they brought in a very chill mix of people to the place. Anyway,

Beers are about $6 each but, bar has little fishes floating around and a pretty waterfall. I don't know if that really compensates the cost of the beer but it is pretty neat! I wasn't thrilled about the whole security portion before we even got there. Check my id, give me my wristband, check my purse, scan me with that little metal wand thing, pay the cover....And there was a different person for each of these? Then again, it could have been this long process because a band was playing? Do they always wave that wand? Is there really a rash of people bringing guns to champlain and perrin? Hmmm....

Definitely be back. I here the sushi is great, $1 tacos and $10 bucket beers on Tuesdays, and 'typically' no cover on Fridays. Like that!

Ewww....just remembered something!!!! This doesn't have any relevance on Aqua Shi but there was some NASTY stuff going on that was out of their control. First when I went to the bathroom (very pretty by the way) it reeked like throw up; and baby powder. Handle your shit girls! And then, in the lounge area, this guy was making out with one girl and feeling up another one...at the same time?! I don't give a shit what you do. Actually, go for it buddy, it makes for a nice and hot story for your friends, just get the fuck away from my peripheral vision your distracting. I was trying to focus on the band, and I couldn't. Take them HOME!

Mor Furniture For Less

I wasn't thrilled about all of their furniture. They have a lot of the bulky, heavy style tables and beds. It's not our style, but if it's yours, you should defiantly check out this place. However, we did end up purchasing our dining table, couches, and coffee table here. My husband and I (surprisingly) loved the same couch. It's beautiful, neutral and comfy.

But our dining table is so cute. It is the same neutral color as our couches for the seats, and the wood is the same dark wood as our sofa and coffee table. It's nice and matchy! It's higher than normal dining tables, and it has a cute bench. My girls love it.

The customer service here is great! Mor's was actually our last stop. Our salesman was nice, very patient and he wasn't pushy at all! Great service! We actually came back to get a dresser for my daughter here, and we plan on going back for a bedroom set for my little one!

Little Peking Restaurant

I love Chinese food! Love love love. I'm always in the mood for it. I cook a lot, but I cannot seem to make anything taste nearly as yummy as Chinese cuisine from restaurants.

This place is so good!!! Every single, every SINGLE time I go to any Asian restaurant I look for honey walnut shrimp. It's my favorite, and I've found it only at 2 places, both of them are out of town. errr......!!!!

*BUT.......... There it was! Awwwww........ Walnut Shrimp $7.00. It is big shrimp battered and swimming in a creamy sweet sauce with candied walnuts, mini won-tons and sesame seeds. It was delicious!!!

My husband ordered kung pao chicken. It came with celery, onions, peanuts, zucchini, mushrooms, water chestnuts and those skinny peppers. It was spicy, but not runny nose spicy. Just right.

The shrimp nor the kung pao were not on a bed of rice. I don't know if that's they way they always serve it, or if it was just because we ordered it to go.

Total $15 bucks including the tax! Love it!!!

Red Zone Sports Grill

I'm rounding up, it should be 3 stars, but it's still kind of new so I'll bump it up a star.

Starting with the good:
Service. Our waiter was very attentive, and very nice. He checked on our drinks and food; but  he wasn't annoying, asking us every time he walked by how everything was going.

Food. It was cheaper than what I expected. I had the portobello burger, hubby had a regular burger, and my daughter had sliders. My burger tasted excellent. My husbands burger buns got soggy; about half way through. We also had the spicy wings. These had a really good flavor, and definitely slapped your ass with heat at the end. Burgers were about $8 bucks.

Beer. I had 16oz dos equis for $3.50. Pretty good.

Bad:
It's small. The tables, the proximity to 'other' tables, the aisles. Everything seems cramped.

The bathrooms. The inside could actually be a plus. They were clean, and they had a tv inside. However, when my 4 year old had to go potty, I had to walk her through the bar area to get there. Not very comfortable about that.

All in all try it!  The bar area was very lively, even though it was only 7:00pm, the covered patio area looked nice; and the food is good!

I'm not a baseball fan, but I've had a lot of fun the past few games! The bathrooms and stands are very clean. The lines for food are short, and the prices are not scary! It's about 6.50 for nearly everything here, burger, burrito, hot dog...

I wore a baseball cap and t shirt, apparently I was under dressed. Girls had their hair curled, cute tops, and a full set of make up on....? It's actually a pretty smart, there are PLENTY of young boys here. It could have just been the nights we are going (Thirsty Thursdays) though.

Monday nights are a really good deal! For $22 bucks you get 2 tickets to game, 2 hot dogs, 2 sodas, 2 tickets to wild water adventures, and games at Blackbeard's. That's a great deal! Tuesdays are all you can eat day, I think it's $15, and Wednesdays, kids get in for $2. Thursdays, are thirsty Thursdays. 12 oz sodas, and beer is $1. It stays this price until the 5th inning.

Fun place! I was surprised that it wasn't as busy as it should be.
