Erica "Doin' Work" Y.'s Profile

My first trip to Timtuk Toys.  I have been to specialty toy stores before and this one did not fail the standard.   Good selection of toys, but nothing I haven't seen elsewhere.

The store was very kid friendly, cleanly laid out.

The only downside - the service.  A group of 18-25 year olds were running the shop and could care less about customer service from their actions.  We stood at the counter, with 2 girls near us who had seen us, waiting for pay for at least 3 painful minutes.

I'd go back.  Everyone has bad days.

I went here for the first time today - and probably the only time since I am from New Jersey(until next year).  It was refreshing to find a place with so many GOOD supplements and selections of treats and food that are also great for your dog.

Yes, you pay more, but you also get more.  The owner, I assume, told me the story of her own dog Chewy and when Chewy was diagnosed with cancer.  She was very heartfelt and very helpful when looking through the food selections.  She is very knowledgeable and willing to offer advice.

In short - great selection, great products, great service.

The only downside - cramped!

We have been going to Crown Palace for many years, but just recently started going on Saturdays and Sundays to their Dim Sum hours.  So, the other experiences have all been great - but this review is mostly about Dim Sum.

First - Dim Sum is FUN.  You are allowed to choose from carts that the servers roll around the room and mark on a scorecard(your bill).  Pork Buns are awesome, sticky rice not so much.  They have a wide assortment of things to choose from, although if you don't get their early enough the good desserts are mostly gone.

The bad part - waiting and waiting for drinks, more carts to roll around, or the particular cart that you want.  If you ask any random server they say "Not my cart".  Particularly, not good service.

Recommendation - Go early, it starts at 11.  Grab a TON the first time around so you don't have to wait.  Try the Bubble Tea!!  Definitely get the fried pork dumplings and steamed pork buns.  

Bring your appetite!  If you like whole, deep fried prawns this is the Dim Sum for you.

(the plus side is that they have an Asian Market right next door with all the delicious fixings for anything you could possibly make)

We went for the first time tonight, after missing Pizza LuLu's wings for a few weeks.  I think it was well worth the wait.

While the decor is typical cheesy greek in appearance, the staff was VERY friendly and quick.  The food was hot and delicious.  

We had the greek dip sampler platter with pitas to start.  The pitas were warm and perfect, the dip was great(tzat, hummus, and a red caviar dip I can't remember the name of).

For main courses we had falafel and sausage gyros - both super great.  The baklava was also awesome.

All of our food came out fast and hot, which is impressive for a slow sunday night.

Would definitely go back.  I think this place is still ironing out the kinks any new place has after they open and it will only continue to get better.  Mad Greek = Mad Delicious!

Don't order the Salmon.

It was hot, crowded, the service was bad..and one of my dining companions got food poisoning.

After she spent 10 minutes outside getting sick, the manager was oblivious and non-apologetic.

Spend your money elsewhere in Red Bank - there's too many other good places to eat with better service.

I love, love, LOVE this place.

These guys rock.  The philly cheesesteaks are great, cali burgers are fantastic, the milkshakes are delicious, and the root beer is, of course, awesome.

And Cheap!

No complaints!

RBVH is the best care for your dog or cat in the area.  If there's something wrong - they will find it.  They cover pretty much everything you got - even chemo for pups.

They have a pharmacy on site so you can pick up your pets meds while you wait - no ordering from the internet.

The waiting area is huge, with coffee and TV for those who wish.  The staff is awesome.

(dr mistry is the best!!!)

The staff is always very friendly and welcoming.

They carry great foods for your dog - some of which you can only get there(regionally).  They also carry top of the line treats.

The collars/doggie prom dresses etc are pricey, but then again I don't go there to shop for those.  My pitbull has enough dresses.

I found the menu to be less than appealing entree-wise.  

They have wine by the bottle if you like - a bottle of "house" White Zin ran me less than $20 and it didn't taste like wood - a plus!

The staff was great and the dessert superb.

It's got awesome pizza and GREAT desserts.  It is BYOB, but there's a liquor store less than a block away.  The atmosphere is very relaxed.

I eat here at least once a week.

The reason I didn't give this place 5 stars, which based on food I would, is because of their staff.  It's very hit or miss whether you will get someone friendly or not to wait on you/take your order.

A little customer service goes a long way.
