While vacationing in Guilford, CT our family had several recommendations for dining at The Place. We were intrigued and looked for it while driving back from another activity. Upon seeing it, we decided that we must certainly follow the locals on this one and check The Place out. Aside …

Upon leaving work with a few coworkers one day, I discovered Rye House. This little bar restaurant is literally right across the street from my job and looked just trendy enough for us to pile in and have a drink. The décor and storefront match in that they are …

One day, having missed our reservations at another restaurant, my boyfriend and I used our handy smart phones to locate a good alternative. Risotteria immediately stuck out as a great option. The reviews were spectacular and we were both fascinated by the specialization in risotto. I have always enjoyed …

I recently moved to a different job uptown, which, if you’ve ever been to New York City, you know means a much small pool of eating choices. Everything around me is ridiculously expensive and fancy, definitely nothing I would frequent just to grab a sandwich or a salad. My …

I am very surprised that Kenny Shopsin has not made more leeway into the New York lore and popular culture. He is every bit as menacing and wonderful as the Soup Nazi, but I suppose the Seinfeld appearance was what really shot Al Yaganeh into permanent fame. Shopsin’s has …

I have spent a good deal in Union Square, having worked there for over a year, and as such have eaten at most of the establishments that surround it. While my boyfriend and I were waiting for a late movie, we decided to grab a bite to eat but …

There is not much in the way of gourmet dining the further into Queens one ventures, but on a Friday night when taking the train just did not sound appealing, my boyfriend and I just decided to stay in the neighborhood and try out a new place called Exo …

My friend and I were craving some Thai food after a shopping trip around midtown. It is a fairly well known fact that midtown does not have any decent food that is not of the over-priced steakhouse variety, but we were hungry and did not want to hop on …

This place has a ridiculous number of reviews, positive reviews at that. It apparently has the honor of being the most reviewed place on yelp, I assume that is in the New York city vicinity. Being the foodie that I am and loving ramen noodles with a passion, I …

I was pleasantly surprised to find this Vietnamese “hole-in-the-wall” restaurant. Located in the obscure strip mall, aptly named Marlboro Square, on route 9North in, you guessed it, Marlboro, New Jersey, this little gem gets low marks for location and decor but the authentic, straight from Mama San’s kitchen type …

Koo is an adequate Japanese restaurant. The fact of the matter is, that although the sushi is fresh, there’s really not much local competition without having to go to Teak in Red Bank, Konbu in Manalapan, or Mahzu in Freehold.
Koo is unfortunately located in an anchor location of a …

Although I was somewhat disappointed when this restaurant took over Renee’s Bakery, I am a huge fan of Middle Eastern food. I went into this place with high hopes, especially since many people had reviewed it so positively. Unfortunately, neither the food nor the service match up to the …

If you’ve ever seen the TV show “Cupcake Wars” on the Food Network, then you may have seen the owners of this small restaurant/bakery compete for top place on the show. They’ve competed at least twice (and almost won both times) and surely do make food that matches the …

This specific Taco Bueno is one I have grown up with. The food is consistently of good quality and the worker’s are always friendly. You can see the workers’ making your food so you can be sure they are not doing anything too weird with it. The best thing …

The Cadillac Cafe is located in Portland’s East side just East of the Rose Quarter. It is a neighborhood favorite and it does have several strengths and if you follow my suggestions you will enjoy eating there as well.
#1 Arrive off peak time. Never arrive …

We spend a lot of time at the Oregon Coast. To be honest the coast is quite boring in the winter and fall and there are few decent restaurants you would bring guests to. This one of the few that stands out at all. …

I was born in an area overrun by fantastic homestyle Italian restaurants, so I am a huge Italian fan. While it isn’t exactly homestyle Italian, nothing beats Leoci’s Trattoria for Italian in Savannah.
Leoci’s is not only my favorite Italian restaurant in Savannah, its also one of my favorite lunch spots …

This is the place to go if you’d rather drink your dessert. The martinis crafted at this bar are nothing short of amazing, and the majority of them replicate candy bars and other sweet treats. This cozy bar isn’t just for martini-lovers either; Jen’s and Friends is one of …

The Distillery is the ideal place for drinks and pub fare in Savannah. They offer more craft beers than anyone else in town, and they refuse to serve any big brand name beers. I also love that they constantly change their draft beer list. I went in on a …

My colleagues and I went to the Yomenya Gaemon Japanese Spaghetti House for lunch a week ago and it was a very unique experience for me.
The restaurant is very conveniently located at the City Link Mall that goes all the way to Suntec City. It is right at …

The Chilis Restaurant in Monroe, North Carolina is a quality eating establishment. Yes, they have the same menu items as the other locations. You can pick from a range of dishes from burgers or chicken sandwiches to shrimp tacos or steaks. However, it is the service that puts this …

This restaurant came highly recommended to us, but it didn’t live up to the hype. In fact, I’m not even sure how it has any hype at all since our experience was nothing but negative.
The restaurant is advertised as a Mediterranean restaurant that serves Greek and Italian specialties, but …

A few days ago my grandma and I decided to eat dinner at Cici’s while we were out shopping. This particular Cici’s is the only one in our town, and therefore regularly packed despite any negative experiences. The register worker greeted us as we entered and was overall kind. …

Jacques’cafe & Lounge is a very interesting place that I have gone to hang out with friends a few times. I wouldn’t call it much of a Cafe as I don’t think they even serve food at Jacques’cafe & Lounge anymore. They do however have pretzels and bar snacks to …

Dining out in the central business district of Makati can be both challenging and mouth watering at the same time. There are restaurants for every taste especially around the Ayala mall area. Continental cuisines fused with Asian flavors are almost the order of the day. The prices also vary …

I only had a chance to try this place once, but I really enjoyed the food. The thing about Indian food is that you have to know what to get. Some places make food greasier than others, so I play it safe with foods I am familiar with.
I think …

I love to visit Texas and when I do, I must make a stop here to get really good Asian food. Not many Asian restaurants make food this good.
This neighborhood doesn’t have very many Asian restaurants to eat at, and this one looks like it is out of …

I would always pass this place up driving in my car. It was quite a unique place and very large. The outside of it looked so interesting, and I just had to try it. It didn’t look like a typical Spanish restaurant.
When I came here for dinner, I thought …

I visit Atlantic city many times, but I have just been to this place twice. I love the location of this place, because it is in an indoor shopping center.
This bar caught my eye right away as soon as I saw it. It had a very cool vibe, but …

I was excited when I spotted this bar from the car. It received an A from the sanitation department. I noticed from far they had a beautiful outdoor sitting area. It was so beautiful, and it had a couple of televisions out there.
I was tempted to eat out there …

I decided to eat here, because my friend sent me a coupon to get one free hot dog. I love getting free stuff in New York.
I don’t really like hot dogs, but they had vegan hot dogs. I was still reluctant to try it, because I don’t like …

When I walked in here, I was confused by the ethnicity of the place. My friend told me we were going to have Italian food, but that was not the vibe I got when I walked in. I was thinking, there is no way this is Italian owned. The …

My friend took me out to eat for dinner here. I was pretty excited about it, because this place was right up my alley, healthy fresh food.
As soon as I entered, I was shocked by how crowded it was. I actually thought we were not going to get a …

I have been to Atlantic city many times before, and I always wanted to eat here. I always see a ton of people going in and out of this place. One time I walked in but didn’t order anything, because I had already eaten. I promised myself next time …

My home town is Houston ,and every time I visit here, I have to eat at this place. They just don’t make barbecue food in New York, the way they do in Texas. I should probably say nobody makes better barbecue food better than Carl’s Barbecue.
It is a very …

I love it when my boyfriend takes me to a new breakfast place. I just love the busy breakfast diners that are clean and smell like breakfast, not chemicals. This happens to be one of those places, that actually smells like food.
My waitress seemed happy to be working that …

I normally don’t like these types of places to get my rice and beans from because of my fear that the place is going to smell like dozens of chickens roasting on a fire.
My first indication that I was going to eat here, was when I walked in, and …

I don’t know why I go into these places, because I always know what is going to happen when I do. I am going to be stared down by all the male workers, because they act like they have never seen a female in their life. Its ridiculous. I …

This place is in the best location, because after you eat here, you can do some shopping. I love places that are next to lots of indoor shopping.
The coolest thing about this place is the car sitting in front of the restaurant. A true classic Cuban car. I …

I probably had one of the worst waitresses of all time. She is definitely on my list of the worst of the worst. I will not come back here because of the service, as well as the quality of food.
Being a bar, you hope that the food will be …

I was walking around in this neighborhood, and I noticed from across the street bright lights. My first thought was that this place doesn’t belong here in this neighborhood. It looked more like a place that should be in Manhattan. Something on the upper west side. I had to …

On my way to the train, everyday for the past six months, I would pass by this place. Everyday I would think how busy and cool it looked from the outside. I liked how they had the glass windows opened so I could look through it everyday.
I finally decided …

This place seemed interesting to me as I walked by and decided to stop in to get my favorite, cafe con leche.
The guy that works there, I am assuming he owns the place, was very enthusiastic to help us. He wanted to please us and make sure we had …

There’s no shortage of pizza places in this area, but Pizza King is my first choice for pizza and more.
Years ago, when I was in high school, the place was under different ownership and had a different name. It was repulsive. So I was stunned …

If you are walking around Boston, even in the subway station, you will notice many people walking by you with a small box that says, Mike’s Bakery. I have never seen anything like it before. After noticing that during my first time in Boston, I had to find this …

My family and I went there when it was fairly new. The location is in a very nice area and is surrounded by classy restaurants like California Pizza Kitchen, PF Changs, and more. The building is also very high class but nothing compared to the atmosphere inside. Inside, they …

Wendy’s Old Fashion Hamburgers is one of my favorite places to eat at if I am ever in Newark. I think the service here is great. But I do think the service and quality of food is much better when you go inside the place to eat. The times I …

Togo’s is probably one of the best sandwiches you can get in town. I have been going here for years and I still get excited every time I think about their wonderful sandwiches. They have great service. The workers there always really give nice service and they truly do a …

Ocean Luck is probably one of my favorite restaurant that I have ever tasted in my life. Well as far as Chinese fast food go they are very good. The service there is very good. They seat you at a table right away and then offer you drinks and soup. …

A lot of people think Subway and Togo’s are the best sandwich places in the world. But they would be wrong. They best sandwich place I have ever eaten at is Mr. Pickle’s Sandwich Shop. This place is in very nice and very classy.I really liked the service at this …
