Bud "I do not 'want fries with that'!" G.'s Profile

Subway is excellent.
I've noticed the quality of your food here is slightly affected by who is working, but it's always good no matter the details. Some seem to be a little tighter with the ingredients than others.

Swartz Creek, and Flint are not the best places to eat out, and that makes Subway even more necessary here than other areas.

Pretty much everything you can get from Subway is great.  It's high quality, and it's a lot better for your body than most fast food.  This Subway has a "drive-thru", so take advantage of that the next time you want something quick.

I have tried nearly everything they make.  I'm not a big fan of the pizza sub, but all the rest are extremely good!  Chicken Bacon Ranch is one of my favorites.

The staff here are friendly and efficient.
For it's price and as far as food quality goes, Subway is definitely in the top 3 for restaurants overall, and uncontested as far as fast food is concerned.

4 out of 5 occasions I went here, and regretted having done so.
This store is completely disorganized and ill-managed.

I've always had problems trying to find staff in this place, and once you do it is unlikely they are able to assist you.  

On my last visit, after waiting for 20 minutes for someone to help with purchasing a laptop (incidentally, the most expensive item in the store), the customer service desk seemed like a reasonable choice.

Upon getting to the customer service desk and explaining that a staff person was needed just to get this computer out for purchase, they tried to make a couple of phone calls and then just said "There is nobody available right now".   Absolutely incredible...  

Will not EVER return to this JOKE of a store.

It is a very large, and very empty restaurant....  I had the impression I was sitting in a dark room by myself most of the time, even though I did not come here alone (Thankfully).   Sort of a encompassing "abyss", is the best way to describe the surroundings.

The menu options are not too impressive, and the food is mediocre.
We waited for quite a long time to be seated, and eventually a (regular) customer, went into the back and got someone for us.  I'm not sure how long it would have taken otherwise.

The staff are friendly, but there's something a bit "off" about this place...  But it certainly is an experience, if you enjoy being a critic.  There's certainly some oddities to be pondered here.

If you go, I'd recommend choosing what is likely to be a busy time, so there will be some voices to be heard, and people to be seen.  This really is a giant restaurant, but the emptiness coupled with the dimmed lighting and other...  eccentricities  make this an almost creepy, "Adam's Family" type of dining experience.   This would be a good place to bring a large group of people...  The food is ok, but not particularly good as far as Italian goes.

My only experience with this restaurant involved receiving a rather unremarkable meal that was at least 50% bones and fat.

I do not think this is authentic Indian food, at all, despite they do attempt to create the appearance it is.  Those who are involved in managing the establishment and preparing the food so not seem to have much, if any, background in that area.  This becomes apparent quite quickly.

The atmosphere inside is ok, if you like being in a fish bowl and surrounded by tackiness.  They will try and seat you right in the window, so you can be an advertisement to the many people walking by the place, who stare at you while you eat.  I'd suggest asking for a spot away from the front, so you can enjoy your meal.

To say it is the worst "Indian" food I have ever had is completely accurate, but somewhat unfair as I have only been to a few Indian restaurants.

On my visit, the staff behaved... "oddly".  I'm not exactly sure how to express this...  Sort of a nervousness about them, as if they are waiting to see if you are going to run to the bathroom to be sick or sneak out without paying.  It's strange, and a bit unsettling.

As with everything else in Flint, standards are automatically lowered, and I can't say I will not ever return here, since it does seem to be the only option for Indian food in the city.  Perhaps some items are much better or worse than others on the menu.

I give this place 4 stars, but also partially because it is a buffet.  I am not a big fan of buffets, because it's been my experience the quality of food is much, much lower.

This buffet, however, is not your average buffet.  The quality is very good overall, and for a buffet it is exceptional.  There is a huge variety of food here.  The place must have a staff of 50 people at any given time.  There's really something for everyone.  The soup is delicious even, and the calamari is very good.  Even the pizza here is good, and that's definitely saying something given it's a Chinese buffet.

I avoid buffets whenever possible, but this is actually one I look forward to going to.  I highly recommend it.

This place is a breath of fresh air (literally), on what is an otherwise very unattractive street.   Coming into here simply as an escape from the stumbling drunks, loud obnoxious people and pervading scent of urine and vomit, is a good idea just by itself.

Thankfully, once inside, I found the service and food to be rather exceptional.  I did not go to Bourbon St. looking for Italian food, but once I starting eating, I was glad to be there.  The breadsticks are great.  The best breadsticks I have ever had.  The drinks are very nice, and the main course was certainly the best Italian I have experienced.  It's almost strange to find a place this good, with such a high quality atmosphere and overall dining experience located right in the sewer that is downtown New Orleans.

If you ever find yourself wandering down Bourbon street, getting accosted by prostitutes, and thinking to yourself "I'm hungry", or "How do I get out of here?", stop by Tony Moran's.  They will treat you like family, even if you are not Italian.

Wow...  This place is getting railroaded on here, for some reason.
I love it when people drink a bunch of beer and get wasted, and then blame the restaurant by claiming the food made them sick.  

Since I did not have the "nachos" and "dark beer" at this establishment, I can not comment on it's quality or effect upon one after consuming them by the dozens.  

It's true that this place is pretty busy.  It took about 20 minutes to get a seat. That's really not too bad.  The food inside is top notch and the atmosphere is very classy.  I am aware they have a separate section for the people who stumble into the place drunk looking for nachos.  I suppose it is mostly to keep them from ruining the pleasant atmosphere for those of us who like to be sober when we eat. The dining room is very nice.

The food here is terrific.  They have better gumbo here than one can find in New Orleans, and that is saying something.  Everything ordered from here on the two occasions I have been has been excellent.  The quality is very high with the food and with the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Even the dessert is great.   You can't really go wrong here.  It's great quality food, and reasonably priced for it's location, which is right on the beach.

I would love to be able to go here more often.  Anyone on vacation needs to give this place a shot.

This place is like an unknown gem.  

It's amazing.  Everything I have ever eaten here has been fantastic.
My favorite thing is the sesame chicken.  It's absolutely unique...  It's what it should be.  Most places think "sesame chicken" is just General Tso's chicken with some sesame seeds scattered over it.  It's not!

I love this place, and it has the best sesame chicken you will find anywhere, at least as far as I know! If you are anywhere in the area, go out of your way to try it.  You won't be disappointed.  This is currently my only 5 star rating.  I'm a harsh critic of food.  This is one of the few places that has food worthy of the name.

I love shwarmas.  My review concerns these specifically. I have not tried anything else from this restaurant.

The shwarmas were horrible. I have had them from a dozen places, and this is the first time I was actually unable to finish eating one.  They are full of grease like a Halo burger, and taste even worse than one.

The atmosphere inside is very nice.  The staff seem really friendly... I wanted these to be good...  I really wanted them to taste decent, but they are just terrible.  The "lamb" did not taste like lamb...  The chicken was so bad, I couldn't eat more than a bite.  The ingredients seemed low quality and bland.

Maybe I just came there on an off-day, but I'm not going to try it again to see if that was the case.

The food here is unsafe and raw.
Twice I received hamburgers that were uncooked...  Not "rare", but literally raw, and just browned lightly on the outside.   The first time, was in the restaurant and it was replaced.  I was told this is often a problem with the "mini burgers".

The second time, the hamburger was so raw, and I was so disgusted by having bit into it, that I tried to get a refund and they refused.

I definitely will not eat anything from here again.   I have never had this issue with another Ruby Tuesday, but this one is frighteningly complacent about health standards.  

My advice is to avoid this place for hamburgers.  The other items I have had from here seem good, but I will no longer trust those, either since they come form the same kitchen.  If you do get a hamburger, save yourself the trauma of biting into warmed, raw beef and cut the thing with a knife to check to see if it is cooked.
