I'm here often. The staff is friendly and I can almost always find what I need for good price.

In addition to that, Red Box on the outside =)

It's Taco Bell. The food is predictable, but here the service is quite good and they can move a drive through line at 2am like nobody's business =)

Finding a place to get your hair cut can be a HARRYING experience. So SHED your fear, BRUSH up on your driving skills and COMB OVER to TGF.

The Stylists here have skills, the prices are reasonable for their services and their products. Every Tuesday is $3 off your hair cut for the men.

Being part of the Urban Wineaux's, we tend to check out many new locations and I'm glad we checked this one out.

I think it's Houston's first "Champagne Bar" and there are many Champagnes to choose from and this includes of course, many sparkling wines from regions other than Champagne.

I've also sampled most of the food here: a cheese plate, meat plate, foie gras plate, flat bread pizza's and smoked salmon too. All of them are nice little appetizer size nibbles that go well with your wine or beer.

I was also pleasantly surprised at the drink prices here. Some things are down right inexpensive and others are more than fair. ($4 Duvel, $5 flight of 5 different wines)

The venue itself is intimate, contemporary, but not snobby. They also have an elevated deck out front that is usually adorned with big red umbrellas. Spotting these umbrellas will help you find the place.

Cheap drinks and every time I've been here, the live music has been better than average.

It's a no frills bar. I like the vibe and the venue, but the bartenders are slow and inattentive.

I'd go back, but we'd usually take off at a couple of drinks unless the band is particularly good.

Pretty decent selection of affordable clothes and definitely an excellent selection of golf shirts.

The place is clean and organized and the staff is friendly and helpful.

I like to come here at lunch to get a brain-break. Every now and then I find something I like that I didn't know I wanted =)

Came here for lunch on the recommendation of my co-workers. The place is nicely decorated, has a good variety of menu items and some amazing looking deserts, although I didn't try any.

I ordered their BBQ Bliss burger with fries and a drink. After sitting down I realized I could have had tater tots. I went back up to the counter to ask if I could switch the fries for the tots and it was done and done. Sweet!

The burger and tots looked awesome. I couldn't wait to chaw down, but alas, the burger was dry, maybe over cooked or the meat was too lean. The bun was also stale and dry. The cheese and the BBQ sauce was not able to overcome the juicy-less-ness.

I was disappointed but maybe it was a bad day. I'll give this place another go around for sure.

Easily my favorite taqueria. The food is cheap, plentiful and comes out piping hot.

During the week they have a salsa Verde that has avocado in it that is spicy and cool.

Oh and you've got to try their micheladas too!

Integrity Tire & Auto

My car pulled to the right and the steering wheel shook, constantly. Totally annoying and I had to get it fixed.

After doing a routine search on Yelp for "front end alignment" I saw that Integrity Tire and Auto (ITA) had 5 stars, but only 3 reviews. I read the reviews and was convinced. In addition to that, my expectations were set. I was sure I was going to get great service.

I was bummed to find out they were located in Richmond, Texas thinking I did not be want to drive all the way out there. I did notice from one of the reviews that they have shuttle service and wondered if they'd drive the 20 miles to my work.

I emailed to ask, and Shawn, one of the owners, replied, "Sure, no problem. Bring the car in when you're ready." Awesome, communication is quick and responsive AND they'll drop me off and pick me up from work. Seriously, being able to drop off your car to get work done, is a HUGE time saver.

ITA opens at 7am and I was there at about 7:05am. It took me about 3 minutes to get checked in and hop in the truck that will take me to work. I did notice a nice waiting area stocked with coffee (one of those pod machines too!), water, and soda. There was also magazines and an LCD TV for your entertainment too.

I got a call from them around 1pm saying they did both a front end and back end alignment ($70 for both, great price) since both were quite a bit off. They did say that it stills pulls a bit because the front tires were wore down incorrectly and asked if I'd like a new set of front tires. He didn't try and sell me, he just asked and quoted me a price ($85/per, another great price) for a new pair of Michelin tires.

I went ahead and got the new tires because it just doesn't make sense to partially fix the problem.

So around 4pm they finished all the work and had the truck on the way to pick me up. I was out of there by 5 and I have to tell you, the car runs SO MUCH better now. I can actually let go of the steering wheel and not immediately careen into the next lane over.

Everyone I spoke with was professional and pleasant. I also found out that three of their mechanics are L1 Master Mechanics/Technicians. These guys know what they're about.

SafeLITE Auto Glass is like the "easy button" for windshield replacement.

I'm a fairly busy guy and I work at computer most of the day. I like to be able to do things online. Give me the information I need on your web site, allow me to do the things I need from your web site and communicate well.

It would also be nice if they came to me instead of me going to them.

Give me the information that I need:
- They come to me.
- I got an instant quote online.

Allow me to do the things I need to do:
- I scheduled an appointment online.

Communicate well:
- I got an email a few minutes later confirming my appointment.
- On appointment day, I got an email reminding my that my appointment is today.

The appointment was scheduled for 1pm. The technician, Mr. C Valdez, called at 10:50am asking if he could come early. I said "Sweet!"

I had to go to a meeting that was going to last 90 minutes and he was going to be done in about 45 minutes. Hmmm... what to do?

He said, "Call in your debit card number and I'll drop the keys off to your receptionist when I'm done." Sweet, done and done.

Here's the last bit of good service that he didn't have to do, but I totally appreciate. My car is in an open parking lot, so the Sun beats down on it all day. I use one of the big foil looking visor things to keep the Sun out.

Before he finished, he put the visor back just like I had it! Again, I totally appreciated it.
