1. Queen Donair
This is some really bad food. I mean seriously bad. I've been here just once, on a Friday night, to get a couple of slices of pepperoni pizza and even though I hadn't had any drinks to speak of that night, I felt gross digesting that food and felt…More »
2. Elephant & Castle
I feel bad to be the party pooper and give a 2 star for this bar. But it is exactly as the Yelp sentiment puts it - "Meh. I've experienced better." The far better experience, in this case, is the Elephant & Castle on Whyte!
The staff don't know…More »
3. Earl's Restaurants
The Earl's on campus is a strictly o.k. place. I don't have too much Earl's experience but I tend to feel that this Earl's at least seems to be a little off.
I find it hard to understand what the Earl's is trying to be. Do they want to be a…More »
4. Julio's Barrio Mexican Restaurant
I've never understood why there's always a big crowd around Julio Barrio. I wish some of them would get into Yanni's, instead of waiting to be seated!
It's quite a rubbish joint. Ordinary food, ordinary service, semi-O.K. margaritas at best, but…More »
5. Boston Pizza
I know that BP's is a big and pretty famous chain and am not someone who gives bad reviews to chain restaurants because they're chains. I've been here once and was really disappointed with the food out here.
One of the plus points is that BP's is…More »
6. Strathcona Registry Centre
It seems like a pointless activity to write a review about a registry - since they all seem the same. However, I found this one to be pretty bad. They're very well located since they're right on Whyte - which has a lot of bus routes. However, I've…More »
7. Smitty's Family Restaurants
Stayed at the Ramada Inn on Calgary Tr for a week, before I moved to Edmonton. So, I got the opportunity to eat at Smitty's! The food is quite ordinary, lacking originality and taste to a certain degree. It's really the Canadian equivalent of…More »
8. Edmonton International Airport
Sub-par, at best. I have no clue what's going on with Edmonton's airport. If you've ever been on a flight to a different city, you'd know what I mean! Why do I say sub-par? read on.....
Wait a minute - where are we??? It's located 30 km away from…More »
9. Starbucks
Meh, indeed ..
The starbucks on the UofA campus is a disappointing experience. It's not meant to be a place where people sit and drink coffee, like a regular starbucks joint. But that doesn't particularly bother me. It's the quality of coffee…More »
10. Dominion
I recently got my first family doctor (it's hard to get one) and did so with Dominion Medical. My family doctor, whom I've met twice now, is a friendly, knowledgeable and conservative doctor. I like that about him.
The clinics as such (there is…More »
11. Bonnie Doon Shopping Centre
I hate to be the one who gives Bonnie Doon a 2 star because I know that there are a lot of retirement communities around there and for a lot of people it seems to be a lifeline, as such.
What disappoints me is that the mall is not planned very well…More »
12. Canadian Tire Stores
Edmonton, AB T6J 5M8

Categories:
Tires,
Home & Garden,
Health and Medical
Canadian Tire has a really wide variety of stuff available in their store, from auto essentials to home essentials to sports essentials. I admire the variety and reasonably good quality of certain things that they have.
However, I have been…More »
13. Tim Hortons
I've been here a few times, especially since my bank is right next door. Unfortunately, I've always had a bad experience here, either the bagel isn't cut into two equal parts or the sandwich is all over the place. Generally, I've found that the…More »
14. Miso Japanese Cuisine
Miso is pretty disappointing. I was in the area and that's the only reason I went there. I saw a couple of the reviews on yelp and thought - what the heck, it might have improved!
I wish I could have given them 3 stars, but I found the sushi to be…More »
15. Greek To Go
I've been here, I've done that .... and now, I think I'm done with that. To be honest, Greek to go has a couple of decent options and the chicken skewers that I had made me crave them the next day! The salad given with the chicken skewers is filled…More »
16. Moxie's Classic Grill
So Moxie's is not really a bad place. It's the kind of place I'd give 3-4 stars to. They've got a predictable line-up of appies, drinks and food, without an attempt to hide their similarity to Earls and the long list of others.
I've been to this…More »
17. Tacos La Mexicana
I know it is late night food. I'm aware that it is supposed to just be something greasy that fills you up and lets you wake up the next day without a hangover. Yet I'm disappointed by this place which could easily be far better especially with the…More »
18. Devlin's Cocktail Lounge
While you probably won't get poisoned by the food/drinks here, Devlin's is an unfortunate expanse of uninspired, unremarkable and amateurish cocktails on Whyte. They call themselves a cocktail lounge and while they have the atmosphere as such of…More »

Definitely a place you'd want to go to more than once! It's a trendy martini lounge - the only one… Read more »
19. Remedy Cafe
While I enjoy basking in the hippiness of soft music, mismatched furniture, dirty toilets, dreadlocks and yoga mats, I'm definitely underwhelmed by Remedy. I've not been a very active Remedier - having probably been there about 6 times over the last…More »

I like Remedy. Haven't tried too much of the food, but have had the wraps and am waiting to still… Read more »
