I have been here a number of times. I usually leave without ordering anything. Why? They are out of chicken. Or, they are out of drink cups. WHAT? Yep. That's what they say!

It gets even better: they charge extra if you want any sauce for chicken strips. I can understand if you want EXTRA, but even the first one? Come on!

Horrible, horrible service. I got seated very fast, then that was the last time I saw anyone that worked there. After 10 minutes of waiting for someone that worked there to even say "boo!" to me, I got up and left.

    I went in and got seated pretty fast. However, I never saw another employee after that. In 10 minutes of sitting there, not a single employee acknowledged me. So, I left.

Had a bleu cheese burger and onion rings. Very very tasty! Burger was nice and thick, and the onion rings were really good too.

The menu did have quite a few different burgers on it, so am sure that you can find something to suit you.

I will be going back.

Have been going to Pizza Shoppe for well over 25 years. It was decent then, and they have not changed a thing as far as I can tell. I typically go to the Mission location during lunch. Fast service, good food, and decent price.

Anthony's Restaurant & Lounge

This place was really good and I was very pleased! I had the italian steak. The steak was more than enough, and once they threw the spaghetti and bread on, well, let's just say I was not feeling too good later in the evening. No, it was not because of the way it was made, it was because I ate everything on my plate. Thus, I had wayyyy too much food!

Prices were really excellent too, especially for the type of service that we got. They were always right there to get drink refills, or bring us whatever we needed.

This was, singlehandedly, the best restaurant experience I have ever had.

Fiorella's Jack Stack Barbeque

Neighborhood: Greater Downtown

Repeat after me - BBQ does not come with lettuce on it. BBQ does not come with tomato on it. BBQ does not come with cloth napkins, candles, or fancy schmancy table cloths.

This is the yuppiest joint I have been in.

Yet, that alone is not the reason I hate that place. The real reason is because, well, it is just not very good. The sauce is almost like ketchup with a few spices thrown in, and the portions are not at all like you would get at a real BBQ joint. I walked away still hungry, and spent a lot more for what I got than if I had gone to any of the other joints in town.

A friend drug me here today. I must say, it was pretty darn good. I had their meat lover's omlette and it was packed with stuff. The omlette was not huge by any stretch of the imagination, but it was still enough.

This is one good place. They treat everyone fairly. I have bought a number of radios from them over the years, and have taken one back. No trouble returning it (it died one day) and getting something else.

There are, unfortunately, some lines they don't carry, which is a bit of a bummer, but for the most part they have almost everything in stock.

Really happy with them. They treated me right three years ago when I bought my Prius, and they treated my mom right when she got her Prius two weeks ago. No pressure, no acting like car salesmen do. I was, in a word, impressed.

However, I have to give them a point off for their service department. The guys in there spent a lot of time arguing with me one day about my putting synthetic oil. They swore up and down that I was not to do that per some Toyota bulletin. So, I made them show me. Well, the bulletin said "make sure there is enough oil in it and make sure it meets all the specs in the manual" which is exactly what the synthetic I was using met. Matter of fact, it was the only synthetic out there that met all the specs!

So, I have to knock a point off there for the guys not doing what the Toyota bulletin said to do.

Not a good place. Seems to be full of a bunch of hicks who like yelling a lot.
