1. Bowman Animal Hospital & Cat Clinic
We just returned from a visit for our older dog here yesterday and I wanted to add that they are not only thorough and friendly....but amazingly efficient. It could have been the time of the day (late afternoon), but it didn't take more than a few…More »

After a botched sales experience at Sport Durst Mazda just down the road, we decided to look elsewhere for our second car back in October 2009. That search led us to Performance Subaru. Sitting in the waiting room today for some routine maintenance…More »

Milk, poopies and dough...oh my!
Well, as my wife's review says, it's no surprise now - we're… Read more »
4. Chapel Hill Tire
I've only used CHT primarily for state inspections...or as in my present case, an *overdue* state inspection with various flags/fails and multiple return visits for a re-inspection. I can't comment on other repairs, but can say that they are a bit…More »
5. Audi Cary
CAVEAT: This review is for service only and not sales.
I've been here several times to take care of my old 6 spd B5 S4 Avant - it's getting a bit long in the tooth but is a complete blast to drive. I've had this car since my days in Las Vegas. So,…More »
6. Apple Store
me: Merry Xmas, sweetie!
her: Awesome!
(a few minutes of playing with her new 4g iPod Touch passes...then complete silence.)
her: Hmm....is this normal? I've pressed the home button several times and it doesn't respond.
me: Wait a sec....
Yup, it was a…More »
7. Chapel Hill Public Library
Great resource and conveniently located off of S. Estes and Franklin St. I haven't used this particular location in it's capacity as a student, but more as an infrequent resident. Ironically enough, I find the library a bit small unlike Henry S. It's…More »
8. Staples

Categories:
Office Equipment,

I really love this chain store for 3 major reasons:
1. you can score some super sweet deals in their weekly flyers (sign up for their email versions online),
2. they have a FREE frequent buyer club (free sign up) where you can get credit for future…More »
9. Whole Foods Market
Oh wow...how have I not reviewed this yet????[1]
Well, Whole Foods (or "Whole Paycheck" as I affectionately call it) and I go back a loooooooooooooooooooooong way. To understand that, just realize that I'm a Texan by birth, born in Austin, raised in…More »
10. Great Clips
Let's face it....6 months since my last haircut, not enough sleep and a 13 o'clock shadow with sideburns down to my knees...I wandered into this location on New Years Eve looking like a cross between Chewbacca and the Unabomber. It wasn't a pretty…More »
11. Kroger
Kroger's - the mass conglomerated step child of the grocery world....or not? Are they worse than Wal-mart? I can't vouch, but I've been shopping at a Kroger's ever since my growing up days in Houston and all over the land of Tejas.
First off, if…More »
12. Brueggers Bagel Bakery
If you don't know me by now...let me just say that I can be frugal when it comes to certain things. Two of these things are wi-fi and bagels. Luckily, BBB caters to both of these.
It's ideally located for us at Eastgate - just a hop, skip and jump…More »
13. Unc Hospitals
This review is for the NC Women's Hospital only and pertains to all things birth-related. NOTE: I'm still holding the final star on this review as a 'hostage' until after the birth. I know...but overall we've had a good experience here.
Since we're…More »
14. UNC Family Medicine Center
This center is one of several community practices UNC has in the area. As it turns out, we've been using FMC off and on for the last several years - mainly out of convenience and location. After my recent bought of mono, I have to say they did a…More »
15. Weathervane Restaurant
Weathervane is a solid 3.5 to 4.0 stars on the food, but the location and proximity to ASS[1] nudge this review over that mark. My previous visit here back almost a year ago was 'meh' to 'A-OK' with a lackluster sweet potato hash and their always…More »
16. Papa Mojo's Roadhouse
For some reason, writing a review for PM has been a low priority...until today. Why is that? Is it b/c I'm procrastinating all of the house cleaning I promised Ellen I would do while she was away? Is it b/c I finally got 8 full hours of sleep…More »

I decided to give it a try again today for a late lunch @ 1pm. I wanted something light and the previous reviews raved about the salads. So...being the metrosexual man I am, I confidently ordered the half and half deal (pick 2 of either the half…More »

18. Veterinary Specialty Hospital of the Carolinas
So, this was our second time around for calling up a specialist here and it came with a completely different experience than our first - for the better.
It's almost always never good news if you have to come here....so add in the stress - emotional…More »
19. Doc Green's - CLOSED
It's your basic, run-of-the-mill made-to-order deli style place serving up paninis , wraps and salads. Where it excels is the access to quick and dirty mediterranean flavours when you're in this part of town - moderately priced ($6-9) fare but they…More »
20. Starbucks
Okay. Blasphemy. I have to give this RTP location a solid 4 stars mainly for the free wifi. Yes, you heard me right - this location now offers FREE AT&T wifi. I'm hoping this is a permanent thing b/c if so, I'm seriously going to have to eat crow and…More »
21. Starbucks Coffee
Bumping this review up to 4 stars b/c they now offer FREE WIFI. I'm still not a huge fan of them, but I have to give them credit for listening to customers and giving them this service. It's just such a shame that huge corporations are slow…More »

I'll offer up 2 perspectives on this place....
1. [single/married no-baby/kid guy]
Apples to apples, this location of FM is hands down better than the Chapel Hill version. There are nice nooks and crannies lending themselves to a quieter more…More »
23. Foster's Market
I'm going to have to agree with my wife and others on this location. Food wise, it's hit or miss. Honestly, our last visit this past Sunday was a hit with a fantastic sampling of their mushroom pizza, but an alright rendition of a BBQ chicken pizza…More »
24. Enterprise Rent-A Car
A check engine light and an overdue inspection sticker brought me and my aging Audi to this neck of the woods. What brought me to Enterprise RAC was a lack of available loaner cars at Cary Audi (formerly Leith Audi) for my service. Instead, they…More »
25. Worth It Café
I just stopped by to pick up a sandwich to go based on previous yelp reviews. The place is brand spanking new, and very clean. the service is fantastic and the woman behind the counter was friendly and jovial. it was definitely a very nice atmosphere…More »
26. Cafe Carolina and Bakery
We just met up here today with a friend who suggested this place. As far as the space of this local chain goes, it's fairly generic, but there are plenty of tables (outdoor and indoor) for seating and it's clean. The place also seems very kid…More »
27. Alfredo's Pizza Villa
For me, pizza by the slice is usually ordered in one of 2 situations:
1. I'm drunk, or
2. I'm sober and I have an unexplained craving for it.
When in situation #1, it's usually no big deal and the pizza could be the world's hardest piece of cardboard…More »
28. NC License Plate Bureau
I'll agree with everything that Matt K. has already said about this location. I'll just add that getting your license plate as an out-of-stater can be a hassle here unless they've changed their standard operating procedure since March 2009. Here's…More »
Recently updated lists from Dan C.
Home, Sweet Home.... (11)RDU (and nearby) resources for that big home purchase....don't worry, it's only 30 years of your life, right?????? |
Repeat Offenders (3)As quoted in Raising Arizona, "They've got a name for people like you....That name is called 'recidivism.'" It's good to give people a second chance for redemption. However, some businesses just don't get it. Here's a list of Triangle businesses that just don't make the grade after subsequent visits/dealings. |
Where's Dan? (Lunch eats in & around RTP/Durham/CH) (26)I liken this list to a "Where's Waldo?" game, except....I'm Waldo. You might find me here....then again, you might not! I'm harder to spot b/c I'm not wearing that striped shirt with a cap. Good luck! |
Twice is Nice... (4)Everyone deserves a second chance at redemption, right? Here are some Triangle businesses that didn't quite jive with me the first visit, but later proved me wrong. It's like Lazarus...but everyone's still alive. No worries, no businesses were hurt in this list. |
You say Szechuan, I say Sichuan...Szechwan. All hail the pepper! (3)If you like spicy, these places cater to the chili-loving southwestern Chinese province with that iconic Szechuan/Sichuan/Szechwan peppercorn! |
What happens in Vegas.... (13)Living la vida local for 4 years in Las Vegas - these are the places I loved and still miss. |
Dog days....in the Triangle (11)The good, the bad and the ruff - all things dog related I've found in the Triangle so far (dog parks, vets, shops, etc.). |
Puttin' on the frites: poutine, chips/tots/fries with sauce (8)My weird passion for all things frites in the Triangle. I prefer poutine, but cheese fries/tots or even chili-cheese fries will do...Just remember (sung to "Puttin' on the Ritz"): When you're blue and you don't know where to go to, Why don't you go where the potato sits, Puttin' on the frites.... |
Win some, dim sum.... (5)Sometimes it's a draw...or worse. Some local (Triangle) and not so local dim sum places (from all over) b/c I've got to keep the dream alive! |
Ahhhhh......fish & chips or chips & fish? (5)The magic formula: fish, batter, oil and potatoes. Tastings from all over - local (Triangle) and elsewhere of where I satisfy my greasy sea cravings. |
