Eff these assholes.  Seriously.  I'm so done.

I bought my car here, and had it faithfully serviced here for all but one service appointment.  I have been constantly dicked around, with no straight answers about why service is costing so much, or why…More »

Not worth your time or your money.

I don't think I have ever had such bizarre service before.  I only came here because a friend was in town and insisted I get the Groupon so we could go, as we are both fans of Indian food.  She had ordered from here…More »

I'm hovering between one and two stars, but since the food wasn't terrible, we'll call it one and a half.  

I'm really disappointed with my experience here.  I went out tonight for a celebratory dinner and I left the restaurant not feeling so happy…More »

Steamworks, what happened?  I used to love Steamworks, and would always suggest it, since it's convenient, and used to be reliably good.  Now I am just sad, and a bit pissed off.  Unless I am coming specifically for a beer and nothing more I highly…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 »

Wow, I was so looking forward to a nice dinner out with my man friend last night and now I'm just feeling ripped off.  WTF r.tl?

I'm disappointed because it is ruining my memory of my last awesome experience here.

Here's the deal... I bought one of…More »

Forced here once again after floor hockey.  

I do like the renovations that have occurred since my last visit, but the food is still mediocre.  My burger and beer deal came with a sad, overcooked patty.  And, you aren't even getting a deal, since the…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 »

Oh J Lounge (Formerly Jupiter Lounge).  Not even free cover for New Years could make me like you.

You don't have drink menus, nor do you have specials, and your speakers are terrible.  Cranking them up to ear splitting levels also doesn't help.  Your…More »

I'm going to give these guys a 2, despite my crappy visit, but only because they were so swamped by hipsters attending the Arcade Fire concert (yeah, I was going to the concert too and needed fooooood).  

As I said, it was busy, but the wait times…More »

Since YVR took away the Milestones and have yet to open the White Spot (ugh) in its place, I was stuck with no other option for breakfast at the airport before my friend left on her flight.  We had to walk all the way over to the International side,…More »

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 »

I was really hoping the renos to this place would be enough to make me like it and help this restaurant up from it's 2-star average. Unfortunately, while the decor is much improved from the other reviewers' descriptions, the food was kinda meh.…More »

Disappointment.  If you are going to call yourself the Waffle House, you better make damn sure your waffles are awesome.

Service was friendly, but despite being 2:30 in the afternoon it was sloooow.  There weren't many people in the restaurant, and…More »

It's amazing how one person can completely ruin an experience for an entire group.

It's taken me several days to come down from the rage I felt after leaving this establishment.  I didn't want to write angry.  So let's get down to business...
