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 »
