Lyda "SomBootie" S.'s Profile

hmmmm... i am curious as to how just ONE week after I placed my review, there are now several 5 star reviews from people who have no identity and have all only reviewed this one place. Obvious much?

NOTE TO OWNER: This is a low blow. You give true meaning to deception by creating false reviews with from people who don't exist. Cmon, you are so not subtle. You think ya slick but ya not.

I don't know the name of the guy that works here, but let's just say I don't want to know. My boo's brand new blackberry tour was in DIRE need of being repaired and this was the first place we went to.

I'm just gonna cut to the chase. Homeboy told us it was going to cost anywhere between $90-140 to "fix" the phone due to LCD replacement OR we can just sell it to him for $36. He didn't even take the time to look at it to conclude that any of his assumptions were accurate. OK, being that we're not educated in cell phone repair, we took him for his word and decided to shop around.

TELL ME WHY we got the phone fixed for only $45 from some other spot and it was not even the LCD, it was water damage and the guy who actually fixed his phone flat out said that THIS dude was just trying to get over on us. SO NOT COOL!!

If it were up to me, you wouldn't even deserve the ONE star man. Trying to get over on people. That's just wrong

Brought my mama here for Father's day (we do things diff in my fam lol) and I was soOoOOo unimpressed. I often have a hard time taking my mama places bc SHE:

1. doesn't like to eat out (for cleanliness & sanitary reasons)
2. thinks eating out is a waste of $ when food isn't good
3. is hardly ever impressed, food quality is typically subpar IHO
4. says she can make it better, again 9 out of 10 times she's right!

Figuring Favori would be a fool proof plan, I brought Mama Duxe and we were all disappointed. Our fish was so overfried & dry that it tasted similar to cardboard. Basically the meat was so fried that it was crunchy and pastey, not meaty or flaky. *double thumbs down*

I don't know if i will be coming here again as it clearly was a waste of $80 so I am quite doubtful that I will.

Hands down, Crema is THE BEST breakfast place I have ever encountered. Here are 5 reasons why which make it 5 star worthy:

1 star - Everything is Halaal friendly because the owners are Muslim too! Turkey bacon, chicken sausage; my dream come true breakfast spot!!

1 star - They use all locally raised and grown produce, meats, and cheeses which means they use the freshest ingredients which means better tasting food.

1 star - Homemade from scratch pastries, baked good, and jams fresh daily! I can't comment enough about their strive to perfect their craft. You can taste how much love they put into their food.

1 star - Whether it be breakfast, lunch, coffee or deserts - everything we had was a hit. There were five of us dining here and each person was completely satisfied.

1 star - The owners and the chef are so sweet and genuine. They came over to our table since my cuzz frequents there and gave us complimentary sweets and desserts. They are really sincere about retaining their regular customers which is what makes them special & stand out imo.

5 stars without a doubt! Good food + good folks = my kinda place

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND

It was so gloomy, foggy, and wet we couldn't see anything! Bahhhh humbug...

When we finally found the infamous crookedest street in the world, we found ourselves in the company of several other spectators. Among them we found some nice European tourists who didn't mind taking our picture. Here's how the conversation went:

"Hi, excuse me, will you take our picture?" -me

"Oh zah for zure!" -ET

*click*

"Ummm... can you please take one more, but this time with us IN the picture?" -me

"Zah zah am zo zorry." -ET

*click*

"Okay thank you!" -me

"Zah zu welcome!!" -ET

Even after we asked to be included in the shot, we were barely in the left corner of the photo. No biggie. The street was so interesting and fun in itself we didn't mind about much else. What more can you ask for? Funny folks & crazy roads... or funny roads & crazy folks, which ever happens to be around at the time.

Delicious? Yes. But worth $60? Man get outta here with that! $60?!?!

Luckily we arrived after the morning rush. We started off with some shrimp hargow, fried onion rice noodles with beef, gai lan with oyster sauce, and slowly progressed into more dim sum dishes.

In the end, we ordered a total of six dishes plus hot tea & hot coffee. Ummm somehow all this came out to $50. WTF are you kidding me?? I was straight out of Ms. FatBooty's song and was shocked as hell & couldn't get it togetha! Seriously, $60 though??

Do i recommend? Its hard for me to recommend places that are not worth the skrilla. Yes the food is good, but was it worth it? Ain't no dim sum ever gonna be worth $60 for two people who only ordered six things. Hell nah. If they don't knock it off...

"For those who come to San Francisco

If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there" - Scott McKenzie

Being here made me miss my parents a lot and think of their song, "San Francisco". I can honestly say I left my heart on this bridge. Well the Boo and I both did. Luckily it was a clear, warm, and sunny day so we were able to see everything. I mean, what a breath taking view!

The Golden Gate Bridge is a must see if you are traveling up here for the first time or even to come because the Golden Gate park is a great place for picnics. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Review is on FOOD ONLY. And it's not that serious.

Here is the burning question that was pondering in my head as I left: "Allah, why?"

Here's why: In an attempt to be a baller on a budget, I suggested coming to Players for some burgers and brew. I know, we are some true playas for real ain't we. So it would only be appropriate to keep it in true playas for real fashion for some true playas for real to eat at Players. This is where it all went wrong. So very wrong.

I order the gardenburger with coleslaw and the Boo orders the BBQ chicken with mash taters. So wrong in so many ways. First off, my gardenburger was hard & stiff. It just did not taste how a gardenburger should taste. It had the consistency of hard patty that had been cooked from a long time ago and cooled down so texture was stale, rubbery and dense.

Then the BBQ chicken comes out and seriously, it straight looked like boiled chicken with bbq sauce on top. Like literally just smeared the sauce on top of it. We were like "for real, WTF is this?" We didn't complain, we just didn't eat it. When our server FINALLY took notice and asked about our meal, we told her the deal in which she then informed the manager.  Our dissatisfaction lead to her taking 50% off that entree. Heeeeeeeeyyyy now a discount is a discount right, at least she took something off. I ain't mad at that.

Verdict: Skip the gardenburger and BBQ chicken.

I would say "Meh. I've experienced better" but this was our first time ever to an aquarium so I have no comparison.

However, we were left unsatisfied. It was small, short, and not as thrilling as we had anticipated. Nonetheless, it was an aight experience and gave us some entertainment for about an hour. We did enjoy touching some sea animals (which gave me the hebegebes from the rough texture of its skin) and we got to take some funny pictures. Still, not exactly worth $34 dollars so I can't say I recommend it.

Personal opinion: I would not come here again & the hotdog cart outside sucks!
