Jamie "Tye" D.'s Profile

How can you not love used clothes?!

Well, I sure get into their 50% off Saturdays (the first one of the month). The store is always clean and usually very organized. The staff is extremely friendly.

The selection is fair and prices are cheap. Of course, make sure to thoroughly inspect your items prior to purchasing.

I went here with some of my peps prior to the Predator's hockey game and had funnnn.

They have a decent beer selection and usually have specials.

I had the beef brisket - oh yea. It's good and tender. Most things come with coleslaw. I added the steak fries for another $2.

There is plenty of seating in this joint. The servers are relatively attentive considering the scale of their responsibility. The decor is your typical honky-tonk western style/sports bar and fits in with the downtown vibe for Nashville.

I had stopped here one other time and hit happy hour. I think we had something like $3 jack and cokes before a concert. Deal!

This is a great place to start off your night when having friends in town. Enjoy!

Today was my first time experiencing distal needling. Not my first treatment of acupuncture. In my previous experiences, I would have had a private room and the treatment focused on the exact area of my discomfort. This is quite opposite.

"This is simply another style of acupuncture, and it's every bit as effective as direct needling.  For example, several energetic pathways that pass through the hips begin or end on the feet, so I can use points on the feet to balance the energy in the hips and relieve pain.
Almost all of the points I use to treat any condition are on the extremities - below the elbows and knees.  It may be a little different
than treatments you've had before, but I encourage you to give it a try!"

The treatment/relaxation room is situated with recliners arranged in an open yet private variation. http://eastnashvilleac...

So, although the environment is communal, the ambiance is simple and soothing. Although many folks go into their treatments feeling that they will feel a noticeable difference after one treatment, I went and left knowing that my gradual treatment will now commence at ENCA. It's important to arrive calm and remain the same as you leave. You'll be sure to have a lasting experience.

I did not experience any pain due to the treatment. If you pay attention, you can actually feel tension release through many of the treatment areas. Its very relaxing. Alexis will also customize the experience for you. This will ensure that your experience will focus on what makes you happy.

They have a food court that features many of the dishes from local cultures. They are inexpensive and provide large helpings of food.

You can buy all your typical touristy "made in china" junk here.

Also, find the lady that will let you buy a fresh water oyster to open. For $6, with the coupon she gave us, we got to open the little guy and find our surprise. Be sure to bring a camera for this. Its fun!

There is just so much to look at here. since many of the shops in the area are higher end retailers, this is where you would go to save a few bucks to spend on happy hour!

Wow, we went here three days in a row. They have amazing happy hour specials - $3 beers/well drinks. Also, they have specialty drinks - rum runners - mai tais for $5. They make their drinks to satisfy.

The calamari here is one of the best. It is not your typical "rings" that are deep fried. This is a calamari steak that is grilled. Topped with a mango salsa that is a party in your mouth alone. I rarely have the same thing from a restaurant 2-days in a row, we had this 3-days in a row.

We also had the fish tacos. These are not your normal corn tortilla tacos. They are large and in charge.

The staff here is fun, welcoming and on their game. Each person that works there did their job well.

Also, the view is spectacular. We watched several sunsets from the outdoor balcony.

This is a great place for friends and happy hour. TRY IT!

The two stars is for service...Which, I would have given 5 stars alone if I could.

This is not pizza. They are trying to be crafty. Wayyyyyyy over priced, even for Oahu.

The ceasar salad was basic. Well, by nature I guess.

The pizza is small and thin with little to no toppings. They are trying to be overly artistic with the za. That didn't fly with me.

I would go back one more time to try a different pasta-based dish. However, not if I am really hungry.

For airport food, this place was decent.

I had an asiago super bagel with roasted red pepper, egg and smoked turkey with Parmesan melted on top. Yum!

Also, we had a herb and cheese bagel with veggie cream cheese. i thought the bagels were top notch and had been prepared well. The price was low, considering we were in an airport.

I would walk down to this terminal if you want something decent while traveling.

Not knowing, what, we're getting in to, we stopped at Miss Shirley's. Having to wait about 20 minutes for a table well after breakfast time, we couldn't help to read the various awards and articles that decorated the waiting area.

The Meals:

Monkey Bread: This will be sure to throw you into an anemic fit, but this is a staple on any visit. Shoot, why go for the coffee, when the money bread will have you hanging in the rafters with energy.

I had 2 eggs over-hard with hash browns. This was one of the lower priced options on the menu. I think around $10. But, to my amazement, I was more than happy with the portions. I also ordered the baked apples. They were delicious. However, not quite as baked as I imagined. Still had a crisp to them.

Others at the table had the dipped French Toast sandwich. Def had a weeks worth of calories. But everyone at the table raved about the flavor. Also, the shrimp and grits were excellent. Be careful, the shrimp have about as much flavor as can be possibly baked onto them.

The staff was young, and energetic. They were on their game considering the place was packed. Although, my suspicion is that's just how they do business.

Try one of the adult beverages. The cinnamon and the peppermint were hits.

Not a place to go on a budget, but worth the wait and a great place to go to have a meal that is new and improved from the basics.

We had a variety of options here.

The BBQ Spaghetti was interesting at best. I only tried it from someone at the table and didn't really care for the complexity of the dish. I got a consensus on this.

The meats were all cooked to perfection. Talk about falling off the bone or eating with no effort.

Environmental responsibility does not factor into this establishment. Everything comes in little plastic cups, Styrofoam or individual servings. This always irks me.

The sauces are OK. I like mine on this thicker side. These were a little runny. I like them to stick to the bun and meat. They had three: honey, mild and hot BBQ. I mixed them all together on my brisket and chowed down.

The mac and cheese could be eaten by a 2 day old with no teeth. Very little structure or cheese flavor.

The location is a little off the beaten path but worth the try. There is plenty of room inside for you and your friends.

Well, its breakfast food you can get till roughly 3 pm.

We had the sweet potato pancakes, an omelet with cheese and tomatoes and a stack of the chocolate chip pancakes that we shared between three of us. I got some insight prior to eating here and promptly asked for the cinnamon syrup to be brought with our meal. Good move.

Yes, "rain or shine, there is always a line," states a framed picture above the cash register. Is it worth the wait, well, you can ponder that yourself while you keep warm with free coffee while standing in line people watching.

The prices are reasonable for breakfast food. The size of the place lends to being available for small groups. The more people, the longer the wait. You are not able to put in your name and number of guests until you hit the front of the line.

The cinnamon syrup is simply amazing. Oh, and ALL the syrups come to the table hot. You know what hot syrup does to pancakes? It soaks right through. Mmmm mmmmm

I was told that the pork/sausage that came with the meals was barely average at best.

I'll be back. But, next time, I might want to eat a little before going, because by the time I got in, I was shaking with anemic excitement after smelling the sweet fragrance of pancakes for our 20 minutes wait.
