Hold it if you can. Otherwise, be prepared. Not all of these are horrific, some just are small and cramped and have only one room, so be prepared to wait.

I've been here several times and have had pretty disappointing service.  The place itself is kinda fun and casual, which is nice.  And maybe I have just had bad luck with the waitresses, but I have had one that was downright rude, and one that was…More »

This place is pretty disappointing.  I remember it being better 2 or 3 years ago, but a trip back a couple months ago (I forgot to write my review) for a late night veg buffet left me sad, since I really wanted it to be good.  

Yes, it's cheap, but…More »

I love a good taco, and this place almost does it for me.  Maybe I am spoiled by La Taqueria, but it's not the best.  However, Salsa & Agave is pretty good.  The prices are reasonable and the service mostly friendly.  

Their guacamole is probably the…More »

Oh, Lady Marmalade... such potential you have.  Your menu looks delightful, and the food so tempting, but your service, Miss, is atrocious.

I know the poor fellow was pretty swamped, leading to many mix ups in our order, but it was not his fault that…More »

It's a staple of the Drive, that's for sure.  I popped in here last night to meet a friend for some chat time.  I was starved so had their peanut stir fry with rice.  It was pretty decent, but nothing to write home about.  I cleared my plate, though,…More »

Huge selection of delicious, fresh, lovingly made food!

We came with a big group (11) after a floor hockey game. Despite not really having tables or space for that large of a group, they sweetly accommodated us best they could, and as space became…More »

Om nom nom! I love Hawkers! I crave this place all the time. I really wish I had got an extra dish to take home for my lunch. Damn!

Thinking of Hawkers takes me back over 4 years ago when I lived a few blocks away. Me and my roommate would wander up…More »

Brunch on a grey and drizzly Sunday.  The Templeton had room at the bar and I hadn't been in years.  The man-friend had always wanted to try it, so in we went.  

I went for a caesar and some mac and cheese.  The caesar was tasty, but the chunks of…More »

There's not a lot of options in Crescent Beach, especially if you want to sit in the sun.  This place has a pretty extensive patio, which is fantastic, and is right on the beach.  The staff are all very lovely, too.

What didn't get me jumping up and…More »

This clearly isn't my kind of place.  When your "specials" are $7.40 for double high balls and $4.15 for domestic sleeves (not pints), plus taxes, then you are ripping off the public.  

What really irked me about the place was the whole conversion to…More »

It is what it is.  And what it is is cheap, greasy Chinese.  This is the kind of Chinese you get when you order take-out from a small town Chinese restaurant, where they are the only option in town.  

It's dirty, the service is indifferent when you…More »
