Aldo's Pizzeria  

Category: Pizza

I've been going to Aldo's at least once every month for the past year and a half. My boyfriend lives out that way and introduced me to the place. OMG is it fantastic. Definitely a bit small, but the staff is great, and Tammy, the owners wife, is sweet as can be! I love their Calzones! They make me one that's just cheese and pineapple, and it's amazing. None of that cake dough that chain's use. It's soft, flaky crust, not too soggy filling, and the tang of really spices inside. Their regular pizza is good too...but I'm sold on Calzone's alone! Wish it wasn't an hour away from where I live...but honestly, I've driven out once or twice just for Pizza Night. Shh...

This is actually a really great cantonese place! The food is good, delivery is quick, and the people are really nice! It's all the basic stuff, and a notch above average! My only complaint was the egg rolls. They were okay, but the meat inside was a little over cooked, and the flavors were a bit blah. Other than that it's a really great place!

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant  

Category: Restaurants

2 star rating
 11/6/2009  
I have loved Olive Garden since I was like 5 years old. The salad and bread sticks are to die for, and the food is pretty good. I've never liked that they give you a boat load of food that makes you fat and gives you a stomach ache, but it's still tasty. However, at the 2 I frequent most often, I've had good service no more than 40% of the time. And I said good, not great. Just adequate. To top it off, today when I ordered for a lunch-to-go, my Chicken in my gnocchi soup was a really awful shade of pink! It was like rubber! I couldn't eat it I was so nervous. It looked raw, but it couldn't have been totally raw. Right? Don't they get frozen stuff or at least precook it? My boss got the same and she stopped eating it she said it was awful and her stomach hurt too. This just seems like another time they have let their quality slide. I've had some really undercooked pasta on occasion, and sometimes had to wait a full hour for my food. Maybe Olive Garden and I just have a curse when we're together. But I have to say, I'm so disappointed.

Just Kabobs

I've only been once so far, but I'm actually about to do a work lunch run to there! The first time I've been there, right after they opened, it was crazy busy, but they were super nice. I took forever to order for 4 people, and they had to make four different orders. They actually got the orders right! I was shocked since they are new and kinda a fast food place. It's like Panda Express for Gyro's and Kabobs. The menu is a little bit simple, but they give you a ton of extras. They have fries though, pretty okay The quality was pretty good! It was a little bland, and their salad had so much onion I had a stomach ache. Otherwise though,they're really good. Maybe I'll update in an hour after getting it again!

This place was awesome to hang out at. The atmosphere was good, the food was cheap and greasy. But...the service was never good. It worked. But was never good. The skillet plate I got was delicious. But it took literally 40 minutes to get. We were on a deadline and had 10 minutes to eat the breakfast! The fries were only okay. But honestly the place is a blast for being a dive.

Best brownies of my life. It's a little pricey, but it's in Chicago and a college stop, so what do you expect? I loved their California concoction. Their are fast, tasty, and better than some of the STU stuff. I miss it the most out of all my Chicago places. Except Clark's to review Cl arks.

This was my first dinner with my roommates and I have to say it was pretty nice. Not the greatest, but still really good. We sat out back because walking inside was impossible! I got a BBQ chicken wrap that I loved...but my stomach hurt a little bit afterward. Playing BAGS was awesome! I love that they have that as after eating entertainment. The sides are really good, and the drinks are pretty well made. I have to say that the wait-staff is phenomenal!!! Shout out to Anna! We were in like...1st grade together! But the rest of Fatty's rocks too! YAY!

Arizona's Bridal Warehouse  

1 star rating
 10/28/2009   First to Review
I have not even set foot in the store and I never will.

I flew down to Arizona a few weeks ago to visit my really good friend Dani. She'd just gotten engaged, so we made an appointment to go look at dresses. I called to set it up, and the lady didn't even ask my name or anything. Then I realized I'd forgotten if she said 1:30 or 11:30. So I called back. They had no record of me. I rescheduled for 1:30 on a Saturday. STILL DIDN'T ASK FOR A NAME! Again it was a very short conversation.

The bride and I were kind of put off. Then we emailed them, hoping to get someone who wasn't the receptionist. NEVER HEARD BACK. We emailed 2 days after our "appointment" and said we didn't feel like calling to cancel because they couldn't even respond to us, or care who we were!

No response!!

Not even an apology or a manager stepping in. We found a few other places around to browse, but it really killed our buzz. Needless to say she won't buy from there, and I'm never traveling for them again!

Paul's Family Restaurant

To die for. I 've been coming here since I was really young. The staff is all friendly, and there is always a familiar face at the door. The food is divine. There salads have the best Ranch, and they grow their own tomatoes and the like. I only ever want to go on Thursdays for their Cream of Chicken Wild Rice soup. That and a side salad are enough, though I love their hot turkey sandwich too. My Pom Squad used to go for breakfast all the time in high school, and they were accommodating and not upset by the huge group of us. I vote pancakes or biscuits and gravy! Overall it's a fantastic family eatery with good food, food people, and a really nice set up.

I really like this restaurant. I've been in twice and have no real complaints. It's nothing super quaint or nice, but decent. I equate it to going to Chili's. It's good and a fun atmosphere, but nothing out of this world. The servers however, are phenomenal. They are really nice, and put up with my stumbling attempts at spanish with smiles. I always get the Enchiladas platter with ground beef, and they are actually really good. The only time I've had better was for double the price!
