Matthew "Gastronomy Enthusiast" F.'s Profile

The roast chicken with stuffing, gravy, rice and mashed potatoes is soooooo good. The meals they have here are so enormous you can't possibly finish them, you MUST take them home (that's if you value the future of your stomach being intact).

Also had the Chicken Matzoh ball soup (yes, there's actually pieces of chicken in the soup smart alec!)

You have been warned.

This place is the unholy spawn of Satan himself (may he be praised).What lies withinside these walls is what the diet freaks call "the evil place", the building is host to some of the most ungodly delicious cupcakes, brownies and cakes around. I recently purchased two cupcakes (Devils Food & The Brownie Cupcake) and I am currently swearing their name while consuming it.

I'm.....I'm, crying a little right now while I write this. It's so delicious. God Damn you Crumbs, damn you to sugar coated topping hell!!

* Each Cupcake comes with a free membership to NYSC*

I've eaten here a couple of times before, realized I hadn't reviewed it.

This time around I had the double hard shell tacos (even though they are listed as "soft tacos" in chicken and beef. It comes with a big helping of refried beans and yellow rice. It tasted fine, nothing to write home about.

Total bill: $11.90

This diner is meant for people who want to eat diner food and not worry that something on the menu is going to suck...because it won't.

This place was made for the hardcore 7am group, come in, stuff yourself with solid food, all the legally addictive substance (ie: coffee) you want and chat your head off with the waitress or with Lynn (she's awesome btw!)

I ordered the Huevous Rancheros, what I received was, gone to heaven on a plate. The sour cream was fresh, the eggs perfect, the beans didn't give me gas and the coffee...jesus harold christ on rubber crutches was it fresh; so fresh in fact that I could have gone to the back and not been surprised if I had found Juan Valdez grinding coffee in there.

So there you have it, I had an extremely memorable time, nuff said.

Come early, leave fat, come late, leave fat, eat small, lose big!

These are my words of wisdom for you fellow Chinese dining elite, you must take in the atmosphere slowly and remember, no matter what you get, you'll be in good hands quality and taste wise.

My brother took me here with the aspiration of blowing my mind in terms of fresh, amazing Chinese food and for all intents & purposes he did.

Going to keep it short, the whole restaurant was more or less Asian, customers, staff, owner, etc. That's a very good sign in terms of genuine feel and culture, I like knowing that the chefs are NOT illegal immigrants from Honduras.

I ordered the lamb fillet and spicy sesame noodles. The serving of noodles was enormous, I couldn't even touch half of it, but they were spicy for me...really spicy. I don't know what happened genetically between me and my brother, he some how got the tongue that knows no pain, while I can't even eat spicy sesame noodles without slopping up water like a rabid dog off the street.

The lamb fillet was excellent, not very spicy, can't remember what my brother got but it made me want to die, I ate one piece and I couldn't think of anything except "I'm going to die now". Weird how life works sometimes.

The only negative i have which I won't count towards the restaurants side is the two pricks who we were seated next to. Listen a*sholes, I'm sorry we got seated next to you but the fuc*ing restaurant isn't that big, SO STOP STARING ME DOWN! I'm not kidding, they gave me and my brother the stink eye more than once. After they left, things went back to normal and I was able to enjoy the rest of the meal.

Like I said, aside from that little incident the food was excellent, the service was top notch and the bill wasn't that high.

Went with Josh and had an awesome time, he wasn't kidding when he said this house turned museum was out of this world. It was.

Upon entering the house, I was greeted by more than one security guard in red, moving to the check-in, I was greeted by 5 more who checked our umbrellas in (can't be too careful). Once we were inside the main exhibit I was taken back by how open and free the place was to walk around in, nothing like other museums. They had guards posted all over, don't be misled, but if I say, wanted to deface a $100 million dollar painting I could have, easily.

The center of the house had an amazing little garden and pond, marble seats, very elegant and quiet, I loved that.

What I liked best were the handsets you could get that would allow you to listen privately to what the stories were on the many pieces of artwork and statutes that were around the house. The downside is that it was only for "some" of them, many were beautiful but had no narration.

My favorite painting was of Thomas More, it hung next to a fire place and was opposite another painting of a fellow I can't remember, who was across on the other side of the chimney, the narration was excellent regarding the history, very interesting and dark.

Awesome place to spend a couple of hours on a Saturday.

Josh is right, this place really is a find. Had a pedicure done (believe me, I needed it!).

At one point while they were cleaning my foot, the woman who was working on me, took out from underneath my nail something that looked like it was used in a special effects movie! It was large, white-looking and freakishly misshapen, I can only imagine what the hell it was.

After she removed it and I got my entire foot massaged, my feet were so happy they started to shake and dance =)

Josh suggested I get a back rub, which was a really good decision, the woman was able to get all those ridiculously tight knots out of my back, which was something else let me tell you.

5 out of 5, unbelievable service, light jazz playing in the background, it really was a "fortress of solitude". I will definitely be returning for a manicure next time.

Was asked by a friend to review Max Brenner and give my honest opinion. I haven't been here in a few years so I didn't remember what it was like.

Since the first time I went here the crowd has certainly come in...and not in a nice way.

I came here at around 9:30pm on a Saturday night and had to fight my way inside past the groupies and idiotic teenagers. Next, I had to fight my way to the back of the line on the take out line up, more idiots. After I had to repeat my order three times (I wanted a simple milkshake) I was told by two staff members that they don't make "milkshakes", they make Granita's. After finally giving up on trying to squeeze general information out of them about what the hell that is exactly I ordered it in dark chocolate. Jumping ahead in time: 15 minutes later, and still waiting for my shake. I push myself to the head of the line and interrupt the groupies standing at front that I'm still waiting for my order and want to get the hell out of there. I speak to the manager who's also making drinks and he tells me he's making it now (wtf?). After I get my shake I ask what was going on with the line and how it could possibly take almost 15 minutes to make a shake, and he tells me that people don't understand how the takeout line works. The groupies that were standing there didn't actually order anything, they thought that was the "place the order here" section, when in fact it's around the corner and over by the far end of the bar.

Since it wasn't managements fault and the place was packed I won't fault them for this, I will fault them for not directing anyone to the proper place though, crowds are beyond their control though.

The lower rating is also for the fact that the shake didn't taste every good for $8. It was granulated and the particles or whatever the hell they were adhered to the roof of my tongue and had this disgusting after taste like dry chocolate paste.

I can see why I didn't come back to this place for so long and why I wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends, the whole place is mobbed with annoying, whiny yuppie teenage girls and you have to fight in hand to hand combat and yell over the counter at the clerks to get anything done.

Hey fellas, every hear of turnstiles? They've worked for the last hundred years, why don't you start using them, it'll help sort out the confusion.

Total amount lost on this venture: $8.

The coffee shop is situated in the most familiar of places....right across from a Starbucks, oy.

But no matter, the coffee here is better but I only have two gripes:

1.) To the Clerks, please don't tell me that the regular coffee is mild and give me bold/strong instead. It required almost half a carafe of whole milk and 3 sugars to make this beverage drinkable.

2.) To the owner: Get rid of the key-coded padlock on the bathroom door, you're just being silly. Besides, you'll see how stupid it is when you forget the combination and piss your pants!

Sat at the counter this time with my brother, let me tell you, sitting at the counter and watching my fellow comrades yell at each other in Hebrew in this place is a riot!

I ordered the tuna sandwich on challah which was excellent but unbelievably filling, my brother had the eggs and home fries (great eggs!).

I couldn't eat anything else after that, I kind of stumbled around like a homeless person.

I've never been displeased gorging myself here.
