Review of The Butcher Block in Peoria, IL (Posted by David Link, Mar 02,2010)
Since they advertise as a deli counter, I stoped in for two 'to go' sandwichs. After a wait of 23 minutes, I got a chicken wrap and a turkey club. I had kept being told 'It will be JUST a second". When I got back to work and opened the box, I've never seen such a mess. Soggy chips and the wrap was such slop (watery/mushy/disintegrated tomatoes), greasy chicken, and fatty bacon that it was impossible to even pick up and eat. Most of it went in the garbage. Will NOT be back.Someone posted that this is the kind of food you can do yourself at home - I suggest you do.
Review of Eat Well Sushi And Grill in Bartlett, TN (Posted by kawaii noodle, ...
A lot of people are complaining about the price, but with just the sushi alone it is an outstanding deal. If you purchased 2 or 3 rolls at any decent sushi restaurant you would pay $20 for just that. It is also better quality than the sushi found in other buffets where it was been sitting out for hours.Some of the food was a little... oily? But still very good! I almost filled up on it before I could get to the sushi :P I *love* the dessert sushi rolls they have. I do wish that they had a bigger selection of things, mainly for vegetarians, but other than that I love this place. I have to save up to eat here, but it's worth it. Just because it's labeled as a buffet doesn't mean it will be "cheap" like the other buffets in town. The food is better, the staff is nicer, the atmosphere is amazing, and they have a full service bar.I can't wait to eat there again!
Review of Guacamaya's Mexican Restaurant in Bartlett, TN (Posted by michelle ...
This place is tucked away across from El Patron on Stage Road at Bartlett Station., It's at the site of the old "Cancun" restaurant. I think a lot of people don't notice it because it's not on the street front, just a sign. I've been there on more than one occasion with friends and even alone. The food is so well prepared, the service is excellent and friendly. There is so much flavor you can tell the food is made from family tradition. I bit into a taco shell and said "YUM" to myself! Everything is prepared fresh, nothing is pre-packiaged or brought in.The menu is a variety of traditional Mexican dishes. Sorry you won't see a "Speedy Gonzalas", "Huevos Rancheros", or "Chimichanga" on the menu. There are dishes like the "El Zarape" platter which is a fajita of sorts except it comes with melted cheese and "Charro" beans (whole beans simmered in pork and charriso broth". They have some familiar dishes such as enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and Nachos, but each is served with a definite 'elevated' flavor level than common Mexican restaurants. The food is all about flavor and perfection. The traditional Mexican dishes such as "Pupusas" (Pork Pancakes if you will) are a labor intesive creation that will fill your belly with TLC! This is a family-owned restaurant with a great atmosphere. You're likely to be served by Edgar Ramirez, the owner. Don't be shy about asking for samples of different specialty drinks, sauces, specials. The place is steadily growing a loyal following. You have to try their (free) chips and salsas. There are two salsas, one a rich spicy tomatoe and pepper base, and the other a combination of roasted garlic, peppers, peanuts, onions... with a sort of 'smoky' finish. Both salsas are served warm and savory. I'll never each cold chunky salsa again. This stuff is just too good. If you have the opportunity, check out Guacamaya's. It really is different from regular Mexican Restaurants in town which are a dime a dozen and serve the American version of Mexcian fare. Guacamaya's takes the trophe for excellence in their thoughtful and flavorful preparations. You won't regret this one. I'm a fan for life. I can't bring myself to eat at any other Mexican Restaurant again. This place ROCKS!

Review of Mandola's Italian Market in Arlington, TX (Posted by Amy Glenn, Mar...
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. They had their beer and wine license so those drinks were available--maybe the previous poster would find a wine his taste buds like if he went back. :-) It's not Americanized Italian so it may take some people a little getting used to. The bread was fabulous and so was the gelato; our portions were more than any of us could eat so we had no complaints about price. In fact, our only complaint was that we ate so much dinner we didn't have room for any of those fabulous-looking pastries. Next time . . . .
Review of Fried Green Tomatoes in Galena, IL (Posted by Paula Kaufman, Mar 08...
Great place for dinner. All entrees came with soup salad and bread so it was a pleasant surprise. We ate there on a Tuesday and it happened to be half price wine night so we split a bottle. Nice décor and very good staff they even have the little tools to remove the cheese and bread crumbs from your table. We will be back soon.
Review of Chen's Garden in Fountain Hills, AZ (Posted by Mark G, Mar 08,2010)
The best Chinese in Fountain Hills! Small, friendly and cozy. We eat there a couple times a month. Someone in our Remax Sun Properties office eats there most everyday and we're never disappointed. Their lunch Specials are the best deal.
