Red Robbin is old school compared to Milestones, Cactus Club, Joeys.
But I like it. I especially like the Metrotown location because of their outdown patio.
Banzai burger and teriyaki chicken burger rock.
Definitely when you think of Red Robin you…More »

Ok I hate to be a nay-sayer but this place is not at all what I expected. Tried it out a few weeks ago and I guess I got turned off because I ended up with food poisoning. Yup a bad case of food poisoning which was too bad because I tried Red Burrito…More »

I unabashedly admit I love Mortons in all its glory. Expensive yes but what an experience. As soon as you walk in it reaks of old Hollywood, darkness, cigars (not real cigars, just the image, old money), all the good stuff. A little known secret is…More »

I don't know, I personally wasn't into the Boathouse; granted I was only there one time but I found it very mediocre.
I mean the steak was ok, but it wasn't exceptional. Just no real pizazz to any of the food. My mom was pretty disappointed in the…More »

Personally we have never had a problem at Moxie's....sweet drinks moxie-sized of course! The appies are abundant; can't go wrong with the chicken wings or yam fries and a combo platter with lots of choices for all. For entrees we had the greek salad…More »

I have tried Vera's Burgers at the Commercial Drive location, the Kits location near the beach and this one. Of course this is the closest location and that is definitely a plus. If I had to pick of the 3 I would say this is the best of them. They…More »

I love Applebees, I am an Applebee junkie. I admit I was so upset when they closed the location at Edmonds and Kingsway. The only other location is way out in Poco.

IHOP is what it is. A step above a greasy spoon restaurant with a huge menu to boot. I love it, especially pancakes. I mean your at IHOP, you have to have the pancakes. Love their syrup too.
This location is very much like a diner. It is dependable…More »

I like their creativity but they get…More »
