Sorry, I tend to assume someone is breastfeeding when they are rocking a chest that large that doesn't look fake. My bad.
In all seriousness though, this location offers…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Hey!!! Do you like the biscuits with your gravy to be hard as a rock? So hard that the gravy can't sop up into it at all? Then this is your destination for brunch.
I've never had good service here and the food last time (September 24th) was so bad…More »
5. The Like Button
Oh man, I didn't like it when FB changed it from being someone's fan to being their liker. Having the like button for businesses on Yelp is redonk. If you're not inspired enough by a business to review, then just move along lil doggy. As far as…More »

Sometimes I love you, I really do. But these times are few and fair between my friend.
My biggest beef is this buddy. I get on you at the very start, up in Andersonville. How many freaking times have I stood there with many other people freezing my…More »

Before catching "How To Train Your Dragon" at Majestic with kiddo, I decided to make it a extra special night by popping into Cupcake Royale for some pre-movie sugar. It was crowded as always, but that as fine. The man who assisted me was very…More »

10. La Cocina & Cantina
I have been dining at La Cocina off and on for a decade. The food has always been mediocre and the margaritas have always been passable. Depending on the day, the service can really range in quality.
My most recent visit I ordered the vegetarian…More »

The company who shared Cinco de Mayo with me at Southlake Grill = 5 stars. If it weren't for the great wit mixed with moments of crudeness and unbridled silliness I probably would have done my patented 5 minute pop in and out.
"What did you say? I…More »
12. Finnegan's Irish Pub - CLOSED
The postives-
-Plenty of seating available mid-day on a Saturday
-They offered to do separate checks for my companions and I without us having to ask and without tagging an extra fee for the favor.
The negatives-
-French fries arrived cold, super greasy,…More »
13. Easy Bar
The only reason I've ever even entered this place is because of a crush I have on a bartender who works at Easy. Simply put, this just isn't my scene. In fact as I was leaving there this evening when I was walking out one of the patrons murmured…More »

Chicago, IL 60606
(312) 235-0306
Category:
Juice Bars & Smoothies
Neighbourhood: The Loop
Meh. I feel bad for the young girl who was working behind the counter so I'm giving it two stars instead of one. She was the lone person behind the counter during the end of the office work day rush. I came in just before the crowd and ended up…More »

I've only visited this location once and will not visit it again. During a major holiday shopping excursion I strolled into Dilettante Mocha Cafe in Westlake Center.
The employee behind the counter could care less that I was there and ready to…More »
16. Barnes & Noble
Normally I wouldn't go to Barnes and Noble. I'd try to hit an indy bookshop, but my Christmas list had a few video game based novels and figured these guys would have it. They did and I found the books of choice in about 5 minutes. So far so good…More »

I like that they have a childcare center available to customers. However, I haven't been able to use it because the particular woman working the center while I was shopping didn't understand that some children cry for 30 second to 1 minute when…More »
18. Andersonville Playlot Park
Every time I come here at least one of the kids I bring has a major meltdown. This place has bad mujumbo for us.
It may not have the same effect on your children though so here's what it offers.

20. Red Line CTA
I tell ya man, today was a fragrant day for the red line. On the southbound ride in the AM I had to cover my mouth and nose to help tone down the overpowering piss smell. It took all my power to not throw up. Later on the northbound train I'm not…More »
21. Eat Here Now
New York, NY 10021
(212) 751-0724
Category:
Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Upper East Side
A diner with a name that summoned me to come in just by it's name alone. The service was fine. The chocolate milkshake was the worst I've ever had and I've drank my fair share of milkshakes (a quick look at my waist confirms this as fact). My…More »
22. The Old Pequliar
Last night was my first time visiting Old Peculiar. I had a couple Maker's and Sprites then headed over to the bathroom. I came back and was asked for ID. Now I'd understand that if I had gone across the street to take a leak, but I had used the…More »
23. Safeway
I nearly stepped in a large log of human feces in the front parking lot of this particular Safeway yesterday. On some days there is large volumes of urine on the ramp from the underground parking lot. The checkers are usually very nice, once you…More »
24. Blue Line CTA
I used to be okay with the blue line. Then they started that project aiming to "Put the Rapid Back in Transit". On the way out to O'Hare @ 3am on a Wednesday they were running all trains on one track so we sat and sat and sat some more. Now I had…More »
25. Taco Time
Seattle, WA 98119
(206) 282-7525
I've gone through this location's drive-thru twice and have received cold, semi-rude service both times. I understand that working in the fast food industry sucks as I served a little time myself 11 years ago. However I make sure to be very polite…More »
26. Andy's Handy Mart
Burien, WA 98166
(206) 246-4777
Not once, but twice the price was advertised as ten cents cheaper per gallon on the signage than it ended up being at the pump. One time I can forgive and I did. I decided to give Andy's a second go around two weeks later and guess what...more…More »
27. The Viceroy - CLOSED
Is it fair to give a bar a poor rating purely because the scene isn't your cup of tea? I've been wrestling with this one today when thinking about writing this review. I'll leave it to you to decide whether I let it effect my rating.
My husband and…More »

I've eaten at Rosie's many times over the years, but am basing my review on the most recent meals.

Here are some things I can usually count on when making a roundtrip from Seattle to Vancouver via the Peace Arch Port of Entry.

30. Lincoln Towing-Roadone West
I had the displeasure of attending an auto auction at the Lincoln Towing in late August. My husband had his eye on a Vespa ET2, but couldn't stay so he handed me $500 dollars and left me to fight for it.
The computers were running extremely slow so…More »
31. Buddha Belltown - CLOSED
"What'll you have miss?"
"I feel like mixing it up tonight. What is your signature drink?"
"Signature drink? I don't really have one."
"Well is there a certain drink you've been wanting to make or try out? I'm game for anything!"
"I make a decent…More »
32. Starbucks Coffee Company
A tall hot soy milk with a whisper of cinnamon is not what I ordered my young barista friend. Worst soy chai latte I've had in years and man was I kicking myself for not taking a sip until I was a few blocks away. It ended up going in the garbage…More »
33. Zeeks Pizza
2nd time ordering, 2nd burnt crust. I'm going to give you folks one more chance. I want to like ya because you're convenient, deliver quickly, and the Hump Day special is an okay deal. One more chance folks, talk to you this Wednesday! Let's hope…More »

My last visit will be my last visit to Bleu Bistro ever. Shame as it's a couple blocks from where I live, but I don't care for being ignored.
My dining companion and I had been excited to have Bleu Bistro as our first start of the night. We walk…More »
35. Rancho Bravo Tacos
The first of two vegetarian tacos I ate the other day at Rancho Bravo was solid. The second one was the most disgusting, mushy off flavored taco I've consumed in my life. I truly believe the only reason I wasn't so grossed out by the first one was…More »

Seattle, WA 98103
(206) 545-9090
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Wallingford
Like orange peel still attached to your orange slices in your breakfast crepe? Me neither. Beyond the offending orange peel business, the food was really ho hum and the server was pretty absent. One visit was enough for me.
37. The UPS Store

Categories:
Shipping Centers,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
$6 and some change to fax four pages to a Seattle number. Get home to find out that the fax didn't go through properly and the key part the document (the signature on the legal forms) was illegible. Awesome. Next time I'll just light 6 one dollar…More »
38. Starbucks
You know what I was really hoping for this morning? Obvious answer here folks, a lap full of chocolate milk. Awesome.
Not really, but that is what I got when I was handed a Horizon Chocolate Milk box with a huge puncture (approx 1 inch long) in the…More »

Categories:
Asian Fusion,

Neighbourhood: Wicker Park
Here's the deal Rodan. It is really effing rude to serve someone a drink at 1:40am then immediately start stacking chairs on the tables all around the patron in question as well as yank the candle that was lighting my space off the table without some…More »
40. Padrino's Pizza & Pasta
Seattle, WA 98102
(206) 322-6300
$23 after tip and the only thing worth consuming is the Coca-Cola. What an effing waste of money. The garlic bread is hard on the outside and wet with condensation from how it's packaged. The margarita pizza is piled high with cheese, the tomato…More »
