Smoothies are decent at best, but when you factor in the lack of service this place is a major bust. Ordered 2 smoothies sat down and watch a few sets of people scramble in and out. We asked about our smoothies twice and both times were told they are almost ready but the girl didn’t actually check. After 25 minutes of waiting and watching others receive their orders before us my boyfriend went up and ask for our smoothies again. He was again told they are almost done. This time the girl walked to the back and spoke with someone who finally started prepping our order. Over a half hour for two smoothies is ridiculous. Save your time and head to Robeks it’s literally right up the street, even when they are packed they don’t take they long. Another bust Bellingham

La Michoacana Premium – Menu with Prices – 1327 E 4th St, Ontario

The product is good, but your workers are very rude. My boyfriend and I came in about 2 days ago. He’s been there many times, it was my first time. We came in and there was no line, we got walked by several times and ignored and then a rush of people came in and they continued to keep passing us. Finally because we were glaring at them for so long, one girl told us in Spanish that she couldn’t help us because she only spoke Spanish and another girl would come and help us…..my boyfriend is full blooded mexican and Spanish is his first language. He told her I do speak Spanish and she just ignored us until the next lady came. We got passed up by 3 different guests with 3 workers at the counter….I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty racist if you ask me. Don’t assume someone doesn’t speak the language just because they look like a guero.

Tropical Smoothie Cafe – Menu with Prices – 7592 W 119th St, Overland Park

1 Lonely star and if I could give less you’d get it. I’m a loyal Tropical Smoothie fan but this location is terrible. I placed a roughly $40 online order at 7:42pm and got to their store at 7:50, and walked out at 8:17pm. I walked in and watched as customer, after customer ordered Smoothies and/or food and walked out. I watched my food be made item by item then set aside and nothing. Finally, was asked and told we had a big order…. Yep, mine. They just chose not to make it. I loved the disconnect between food and smoothie prep. I told the food prep girl they simply needed to do better and she just kept referring to this mythical huge order that had no impact on anything. Finally, told me I had my order, well, just half of it. She then muttered I was an a…h… under hear breath. This is the 2nd time I’ve walked into this place with one person on break, 1 person making food, 1 on register, and the manager pulling trash duty but who makes the smoothies? Oh, and the food order, was wrong and I don’t think the plastic tie from the bread bag was supposed to come with my sandwich? We were running low at the house though, so thanks…Nice job!

Chipotle Mexican Grill – Menu with Prices – 4116 Portsmouth Blvd, Chesapeake

I am writing today about the location in Chesapeake Square in Chesapeake, VA. I just got some food from there 5 minutes ago, but to be honest, it is probably the last time I will ever go there. First, the staff there is never very friendly, but today was an extreme. It was approximately 2:15pm so they were not busy. I walked in and one person was cleaning the floors and another was prepping food. As soon as me and another customer got there, the guy prepping food peeked his head in the back and asked for people to come to the line. He had to do this twice because no one came out the first time and there were now 5 customers in line waiting to be helped. When 4 people finally came out of the back, they were just chatting with each other and also rolling their eyes/making ugly faces at the guy who was calling for help. We finally start to get help, but no one was nice or even half paying attention to what we were asking for because they had to ask multiple times each. Once I got to the end of the line, prior to paying, they finally told me and the rest of the guests that there was no guacamole, no queso, no fajita veggies, and no chips. (I never would have ordered food in the first place had I known that because I wanted guacamole and queso, but most of all, I wanted a big bag of chips because to me, they are the best part!) After being extremely disappointed but alreadybhaving ordered my food, I tried to pay. The girl from the register had disappeared in the back and there were 3 of us waiting to pay when she finally came back out (on her phone too). Overall, I’m extremely upset at my entire visit today, to the point that I probably won’t go back to that location ever again (even though it’s 1mile from my house) but I will also reconsider going to any chipotle again (even though I’ve been a devout chipotle customer for 10+years) and unfortunately, I’m probably going to start looking into QDoba and the other options near me.

Avenue Downtown – Menu with Prices – 10888 Jasper Ave, Edmonton

Im giving it two stars because i actually never made it into the bar which was super disappointing due to the bouncers picking and choosing who got to go in, it was a super cold night, i was standing in line with my boyfriend he was dressed in a nice outfit and i was dressed in a really pretty top and leggings so if there is a dress code we definitely didnt go against it, there was 3 people in front of us, and about 15 behind us, all male with the exception of two other woman, the club was pretty full so there was a bit of a wait, the one girl and other girl started talking and turns out they were both partying alone, we waited over 15 minutes before the bouncer who was very good looking started to let someone in, now all the other clubs usually follow the line but not this guy he started complimenting the one of the girls and then went “you know what you can come inside” and she then asked if the other girl could come with her he sighed a bit and said yes and let them skip the line leaving the about 6 of us who had been waiting a lot longer outside still waiting. That was a bit disappointing, i get wanting to fill the club with pretty girls but when you are out clubbing in the winter here (this was a while ago and as im just joining yelp) in -30 weather the people who have been waiting the longest should be getting in first, we have money to spend, well after standing outside for over 15 minutes and watching the bouncer let a girl skip all of us cuz she was cute and making us all wait i turned to my boyfriend and said “i dont wanna spend money at a place where they pick and chose who gets in based on who the bouncer thinks is hot because i know we arent getting in” im really pretty but im also not stick thin, and i have a boyfriend so i knew damn well they werent gonna choose us to skip the line, it looked like a fun place, the type of music i like, im sure i would have really enjoyed it there, but instead we went down to O2’s had some pizza bread, an amazing drink they created for me and played pool. I have never been back, although my favourite place shut down so i might have to attempt coming here again but no promises i will.

Melrose Billiard Parlor – Menu with Prices – 2600 8th Ave S #108, Nashville

I was excited on the reopening of Melrose Billiards because it sounded like a place I could see myself often. I never went to it before they did the renovation. We walk in and it’s super cute. It seems pretty divey, dark, and just has a cool vibe. It was on a Thursday around 8pm so there weren’t too many people in there. My boyfriend and I went to the only vacant pool table and walked around it looking for the quarter slots, but didn’t see any. There were already balls in the pockets so we assumed the games were free. I went up to the bar to get a couple beers. There was a guy there before me so I sat while I waited for the bartender to finish his order. Five minutes go by and the bartender didn’t look up at me while I sit there with my debit card in my hand. I finally just spoke up and asked for 2 PBRs, hoping I didn’t come off as rude or impatient. Fortunately he heard me because he brought them over even though he didn’t act like he heard me say my order. We overheard the table next to us talking about the prices of the tables per hour – $9. Great, my boyfriend went up to the bar to pay. He was up there for 10 minutes and was never waited on or looked at so he walked away. There were 4 people behind the bar and 5 customers at the bar total. Just weird they didn’t acknowledge him either. It was literally like he was an invisible guy holding up a 10 dollar bill. Anyway, my boyfriend and I enjoyed a couple games and a couple walks up and asks us to play doubles for shots. We had to go to work the next say so we said we’d do doubles but not the shots. The guy called my boyfriend a bitch????? Then we told them we weren’t interested. I haven’t heard someone talk like that to a stranger since I went to bars in college. (I know this has nothing to do with Melrose Billiards itself) This place is trying to be divy and hip but overall it’s just a little over priced and the bartenders seem to hate their job. I can see myself going back if a group of friends wanted to check it out. I’m all about second chances but I don’t expect much.

Nekter Juice Bar – Menu with Prices – 32068 Temecula Pkwy STE 100, Temecula

Save yourself the time, money, and frustration and skip this place. Never have I felt this way about any establishment, but if I could give zero stars this would be the one. I went in on a random weekday afternoon, there was maybe two guests in front of us waiting patiently for their smoothie when we first arrived. We placed our order, staff was friendly at this point, and went to go sit and wait. After watching every person who ordered after us get their drinks, and after sitting for close to 45 minutes, while neither my party nor the ladies in front of us received a single drink. After waiting and realizing the staff wasn’t making our drinks ever, I finally went up to inquire about our smoothies. To which the staff member told me “I’ll be right with you to take your order” meaning my smoothies were A.) not being made, and B.) where never going to be made considering this staff member literally had no recollection my myself or my large order. After waiting for almost an hour, the staff then inform me they “forgot my ticket” and have to use my receipt to even see what I ordered, and at this point they tell me they will get to my smoothies “right after this order”. At this point I had been waiting for 4 smoothies, which I paid $10 a piece for, with over an hour wait and no sign of a sorry of any sort. Apologies, but no smoothie is worth $10 AND over an hour wait. I told him at this point, no thank you I have other plans, please just issue me a refund. This is where customer service skills would have come in handy, however the staff then processed to get rude and snappy, talking about how they didn’t know how to process a refund so they had to go make a call. 20 minutes later, a different employee emerges, and gives me cash back for two smoothies, no tax included, and tells me have a great day. At this time I had been waiting for over an hour, so I forfeited my money and left. If that tells you anything of how awful this experience was, I literally walked out paying for smoothies I didn’t even receive just to be able to leave that place. I don’t know why this location is so terrible, I have been to numerous Nekter’s with fantastic experiences, but please save yourself some money (literally) and avoid this location at all costs.

Thai Diamond 2 Menu with Prices 2222 SE 27th Ave, Amarillo

I work across the street. Always smells delicious. Called and placed a to-go order. Was NOT mentioned over the phone that they only accept cash. Walked up to the door, which has a sign on it that says CASH ONLY. Rather than be discourteous and not inform them, I went inside to let an employee know that I would have to cancel my order. Upon approaching the counter I thought there were no employees in the front of the house, until finally, a girl who I thought had been a customer got up from the table in which her and her partner were eating, and with a sigh she walked behind the counter. I let her know I’d have to cancel my order because I didn’t have cash. “You don’t have cash?” She asked while rolling her eyes. “No, I’m sorry.” “There’s an ATM in the parking lot right across the street.” “I know, I work across the street.” “Why don’t you just walk across the street and get some cash?” “Because I’m on my lunch break, I don’t have time.” (not that it’s any of your business) “So you want to cancel your order?” “Well yes I’m gonna have to.” Another sign and another eyeroll as she walks away mid-sentence to yell to the kitchen “cancel the to-go, she doesn’t have cash.” That was the end of our conversation as she sat back down at the table with her partner to finish her lunch that I had so rudely interrupted. -A simple “by the way, we take cash only” when I placed my order over the phone would have meant this never happened in the first place. -Girl who works at the counter weekdays at noon needs a serious attitude adjustment and to have a date with (what I assume was) her boyfriend when she’s NOT on the clock. Sadly I won’t be returning due to the way I was treated. Plus cash only is a real pain. It’s a shame because it always smells amazing, so you get two stars instead of one.

Subway Restaurants – Menu with Prices – 5655 Centennial Center Blvd Suite 110 Centennial Gateway S/C, Las Vegas

Wow. Just wow. The management here needs to train their staff big time. We walked in and immediately I see two customers ordering sandwiches and one girl making their sandwiches VERY SLOWLY. Also behind the counter is the “supervisor” on duty, who is on the phone enjoying herself while more people come in to get their sandwiches behind a backed up line. After 15 mins of watching this girl make SLOW as possible sandwiches for two demanding customers who want everything just so, another customer walks in. We casually tell her we have been waiting almost 20 mins and she says loudly “Oh no I have to get going I can’t wait that long.” Then by some miracle the “supervisor” gets off the phone and helps move the line along built up by this SLOW AS A SNAIL girl. The “supervisor” makes my boyfriend’s sandwich in 8 seconds. Mine took 3 mins by this SLOW girl who struggled with avacado….. finally I told her to just wrap it up I have to go. Overall I can see the associates are not floor ready for speed and accuracy. I can see the “supervisors” are not trained with self awareness and leadership skills to build the business.

Fat Tuesday – Menu with Prices – 6751 N Sunset Blvd #E113, Glendale

Goodness gracious this is terrible for nightlife and even worse if you compare it to the Mill Ave location. It is literally the stickiest floor I’ve suffered through. I wasn’t really even trying to bust a move and thought my shoes would get stuck just drunkenly shuffling around. I hate how they still keep out all the bar stools at night, meaning I not only have to compete with all the other customers for attention, I have to bump into and reach around people sitting down in front of the bar at a packed club. That’s bad logistics. People who want to sit down should do so outside, but good luck as there’s not much space to do that. It is not half as good as the other one I frequent, but I hope they keep working on it. But on the other hand, this is Westgate so just staying open a couple years is probably all they need to consider it successful.

BANANA KING – JERSEY CITY – Menu with Prices – 665 Newark Ave, Jersey City

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. I spent $12 plus tip on two water-downed papaya smoothies. When I walked in there, the store was empty and it took them over 10 minutes to make the smoothie. I was disappointed to taste water and no papaya..was literally pinkish water. I realized this when I went home and went back to Banana king to address the issue. Instead of making another one, I was told rudely that they are low on ice. I can say that they have no care for customer satisfaction at all and the quality of their smoothies are inconsistent. Nevertheless, I left the smoothies on the counter and they kept my money because they do not issue refunds or issue a new one. This was the second time I received a watered down smoothie at this place, and was SO DISAPPOINTED with how they handled (or lack thereof) the situation. I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN. Avoid this place!

Aburi Sushi & Ramen – Menu with Prices – 735 E Green St, Pasadena

Now I can finally write a review for this place after coming here three times. I had both good AND bad experience so let me just start out by saying your experience may depend on the day of your visit. My very first time at Aburi was with my best friend. She and I had a great dinner doing AYCE even though no server has informed us about how only 5 orders will be served first or whatever they call this policy. Second time, I went with my Mom. Since I have gone to other Aburi location in Long Beach and also here with my bestie, I thought I knew what was going on. My server named ‘Lily’ was very unprofessional. After filling out my order sheet, I handed to her and she told me about the 5 orders thing and not knowing what it was, I told her last time I was here I wasnt told that but its fine, it is what it is. Then she tried to argue with me in a very annoying tone so I was like whatever. Then she goes off telling me that NONE of the COLLARS are available (Salmon & Yellowtail). So I said its fine. It was just her attitude, tone of her voice and behavior that made me so irritated. She didnt look serious and looked very nonchalant. Before getting my orders, another server comes and explains to me about Lily’s actions and re-explained to me about the 5 order policy and so I clearly told her I wasnt too fond of way she delivered the message; unprofessional. Later, I got some of my orders then I see both Salmon and Yellowtail collars coming my way. I told the new server that ‘Lily’ told me you guys dont have any collars available and now I see both on my table. She said ‘she meant to say we have limited supply’ Um, excuse me? I know how to write and speak English. She CLEARLY told me she did NOT have it. She didnt mention anything about limited supply or whatever though I was aware because it says it on the order sheet. I was just so sick of everything from then on. So my second experience was crappy as ever so I decided to come again with my Boyfriend to finalize my thoughts before giving them a review. My third time was again so-so. My server was just fine. But it was the FOOD that was below par. My Boyfriend and I ordered 2 orders of sashimi (Salmon and Seared Tuna) and did not receive it after we received all of our orders for the first round. We also did not get any collars. I asked the server to check and a bit later, one of the collars came as salmon collar was not available. Our 2 sashimi came out with the Yellowtail Sashimi added during second round and so ALL of our sashimi came out at the same time. I belive it was Yellowtail Sashimi. Boyfriend took a piece to eat and later I looked at the plate to grab, I SEE A HAIR. A SHORT CURLY HAIR (please see attached picture with this review). I was disgusted. With the disappointing experience I had before, everything was unpleasant and started double checking all the foods left on the table for any hair or things that SHOULDNT be there. I called the server to let him know. He literally said, ‘oh sh!t’ and asked if I wanted a new one. My Boyfriend wanted it so I said yes. Other than that, no apology of any kind was made to my table. Again, this is very unprofessional. I dont want to stereotype but almost ALL asian owned businesses lack sooooooo much professionalism handling situations like this. Gross. I didnt want free food. All I wanted was an apology or a ‘statement’ from the manager but absolutely nothing! So that sums up all my dining experiences (3) here at Aburi. Extremely disappointed in lacking professionalism displayed by servers or even the management. Food hygiene is definitely a BIG issue. No parking available as street parking (1 hr) is the only option I believe. I was hoping to enjoy here at Aburi but since the first visit, it has been DOWNHILL. Such a disappointment. Done.
