I'm kind of surprised about the bad reviews for this place - I had a really good experience here over the weekend.

I got the Western BBQ burger, fries, and a marshmallow/butterscotch milkshake.  The burger was superb - great flavors, plenty of BBQ sauce, and a good tasting patty.  It was also way bigger than I expected for the price.  The fries were okay, but definitely needed the salt packets they came with.  The milkshake was gooood!  I think butterscotch alone would have been better, but it was still a great tasting shake.

My brother was beyond happy with his lunch, which included the Italian Chicken sandwich, fried mushrooms, and a white chocolate/butterscotch shake.  He commented multiple times about how good the sandwich was.

Our food was ready pretty quickly and I was actually impressed they were open considering the fact that quite a lot of snow was coming down!

They take cards, but there is a 60 cent fee, so if that kind of thing bugs you, be sure to bring cash.

I come to Red Lobster probably once or twice a year.  

I've always had great service from really friendly employees.  They easily get five stars.  However, the food leaves something to be desired.  It's really basic as far as seafood goes and I honestly feel like you can find better seafood at cheaper prices elsewhere.  Yes, the Cheddar Bay Biscuits are good, but they aren't worth eating seafood that is just okay.  I've always left satisfied with what I've chosen, but wished I had received a bigger portion or that there was a bit more flavor to the fish or etc etc.  Red Lobster is just always missing something for me.

Side note: Birthdays here are good - my mom has had her birthday here the last two years and she got a free ice cream sundae one time and free cheesecake the next, both of which were super tasty.

I've gone to this Brown Bear several times to get my car washed with either the Bear Essentials or the Beary Good selection.  For the most part, they get my car fairly clean, but there are always a few spots that are totally missed and look obviously dirty.

One thing that really torks me off is that the car wash is so forceful that it actually BENDS my front license plate in on either side.  I always have to get out of the car and re-straighten my license plate.  Last time it was too the extreme and now my license plate is permanently bent and I just can't seem to get it looking normal again.  Seems like this shouldn't be a problem...??

A couple of positives are that they are green and also they have a day every year where you can get a free car wash as a thank you to customers!  How awesome is that?

I've recently started going to this location since the one at the Uwajimaya closed down.  The employees are really friendly and have answered all my questions with ease.  There are two ATMs here and, while the lines can be long, I'm usually in and out within 5 minutes.  Parking is on the street, but I've always found a spot either right in front or directly across the street.

In my opinion, BECU is the only banking choice in this area.  They hands down rock.

I met a former co-worker for lunch here a few weeks ago.  It was her idea, so I accepted without looking at Yelp reviews first.  Unfortunately my experience was pretty much in line with everyone else's.

The food is okay.  Some of it wasn't particularly warm, which disappointed me.  The best thing I had was likely the wonton soup.  The frozen yogurt was super melty, which was too bad.  I also got a pretty bad stomachache later on - and it wasn't from overeating since I only had one plate of food.

Our waiter was fine - came by probably the right amount of times.  The cleanliness in this place isn't exactly to the highest of standards.  I worried about it slightly, but did my best to look past it.

I doubt I will be back here, even though it is very close to my work.

This was an okay character breakfast experience, but I probably wouldn't return to this one.

My friend and I go to Disneyland every year and we like to go to the character breakfasts to get a ton of good food, but also to take pictures with the characters!  I was pretty surprised that there were only a few characters out while we were here - vacation-themed Mickey and Minnie, Pluto, and Stitch.  I was really happy to see Stitch, as he is one of my favorites.  However, it would have been nice if there had been additional characters as well.  Compared to the Plaza Inn or the Storytellers Cafe, there were hardly any characters to see here.

The food was pretty good.  We stuffed our faces with all sorts of delicious breakfast foods.  Our waiter was friendly and nice, though he did go MIA for the latter part of the meal.

If you have kids, they have fun competitions that they can participate in like a "surfing contest."  Only awkward part is that our table was right by this contest and we were surrounded by kids for 10 crazy minutes or so.

Overall I had a fine time here, but next time I would opt to go to a different character breakfast.

Went here last month for a friend's birthday party.  Staff was super friendly and they had a good selection of drinks.  They also had really good prices - their happy hour is pretty nice.

I agree with some of the other reviewers here though - this bar isn't really Irish.  If so, it's the least Irish bar I've ever been to.  Most pubs I've seen don't have pool tables or karaoke.

It's also pretty dark and dirty, in my opinion.  Not that most bars aren't dark or slightly dingy...but this place just had more of a filthy feeling to me.

Overall, however, I had a good time here and I'd come back.

This is a pretty impressive Disney store.  When I first walked in, I was blown away at how intricately they designed this place.  Half of it looks like a Disney Princess castle.  If I were a little girl, I would probably die with happiness here.  There is a TV area in the back that kids can watch, as well as projections on the walls (keep an eye on them - they change often).  

They have tons of Toy Story, Cars, and (as I mentioned above) princess items.  There also is a round rack in the center of the store that seems to have some of the new items available on display, as well as an area in one of the corners that houses seasonal stuff.  I do wish they had more of a variety of items, since probably 3/4ths of the store is Toy Store/Cars/Princess, but it's still fairly good for just a mall Disney store.

Employees here are SUPER friendly.  Just had a nice chat with one at the register yesterday when I went in for their fairly awesome sale.

It's Shari's, not some sort of fine dining experience.  So for what it is, they have decent diner food (better than Denny's) and a fairly good spread of options.  Prices are pretty much in line with other similar type restaurants.  

Staff here have always been friendly and service is quick.  Pies here are pretty darn tasty as well - you can get them on the way out the door or order them advance.  They are pretty nice to have for holiday desserts.

My memory of Pizza Haven as a kid was that it was the most amazing pizza of all time.  Big, huge slices with all sorts of delicious toppings.  I remember being so excited to eat such a giant slice of goodness.

But man, either my memory sucks or the pizza at Pizza Haven has gone way downhill.  It's just...not good.  They still have great toppings, but there is hardly any sauce or cheese, which makes the pizza pretty darn dry.

I will say, they have INCREDIBLE caesar salads here.  I had my first ever one here as a kid and I still love them now.  Great dressing, lots of croutons - delicious.  

They really need to work on their pizza...really badly....
