I’ve been to many Meatball Shops around the city as I’m a big fan of the veggie ball. The meatballs are a 4 and the manager is a 1. I happened to come to this location on a food tour for my dad’s 65th birthday… The group got their meatball to taste and the manager started to tell us about the establishment/history/etc. Because we were on a public group tour where photos were encouraged my dad took a photo (seated, no flash, not disruptive) of the manager speaking. HE DID NOT LIKE THAT. He starred my dad down for 15-20 seconds and there was awkward silence throughout the group. He rudely told us “you don’t take a photo of someone without their permission.” I totally get that… but we were on a group tour with 20 tourists, you are speaking publically, and you did not state “no photos” before your speech. Some people capture memories with their phone, relax, and be patient with senior citizens. What we experienced was unfriendly and unprofessional. Choose another location to dine at.

Chicago Foodways Tours – Menu with Prices – see Web Site for Tour Locations, 4617 N Dover St 1E (Office, Chicago

Saigon to Stockholm food tour is highly recommended. Phyllis was an excellent guide. She was well-versed about the history of the neighborhoods, the establishments we visited, and the cuisine. She was well-prepared, even offering free rain ponchos to those who forgot to pack umbrellas. She also had hand sanitizer, kept us on schedule, and helped people with directions. The tour is appropriate for tourists or locals like us who live in Chicago. It was a good value for the money. Just the right amount of food was offered. Really liked the variety, too. Our original tour was scheduled last year; my son became ill, and Phyllis was flexible about letting us reschedule at the last minute, which was very kind. If you are a local and want to learn more about the city, this is a great tour. And tourists will love getting away from the downtown hustle and bustle to see these neighborhoods, which are the fabric of a great city.

Cycle Pub Bend Menu with Prices 550 SW Industrial Way #105, Bend

I booked a tour yesterday for 6 of us. When we arrived there were no bikes available for our tour. They scrambled and we ended up taking the tour in the tuktuk. Zack was a wonderful guide. It was a disappointment, that we weren’t able to have the tour on the big bike. When we did a similar tour in Portland, we had 5 guests. The company we used were able to provide the tour with the big bike. They filled the bike with other guests totaling 10 people. We didn’t have to be a group of 8. I don’t understand why your company can’t provide this service. Your website, doesn’t give alerts when you register as a group less than 8. You don’t provide refunds when you’re not able to do the tour we thought we signed up for. I understand that you require a group of 8, but took our money and could’ve fulfill the reservation requested. And then couldn’t give us a bike for 6. Your website needs help. We are very disappointed. Your front desk person, told me that I had received a call confirming our reservation but again I never received a call, voicemail or email letting know that you weren’t able to provide the services paid for. On the return of our tour, he told me I actually didn’t get a call. A lot of miscommunication. Unfortunately, we won’t be using your company again. Needs help with website and front desk. My sister law in, celebrating her 80th, took a glass. She didn’t realize it was $10. She wouldn’t have taken it if she would have known. I believe after all the mixup we should at the very least be credited the $10. Rebecca Karver Sent from my iPhone

Transport Yourself Segway Tours & Golf Menu with Prices 1401 Hillmont St, Austin

I’ve been on two segway tours with Transport Yourself and really enjoyed each one. Highly recommend them as the way to see Austin! Five stars all the way around! I first went on the bat tour. This is a great tour where go through scenic parts of Austin and unique parts of downtown, ending at the Congress bridge to see the bats. Though the bats can be picky on when they come out, this doesn’t diminish the joy of riding around town on a segway. Their segways are top of the line. I love how safe I felt. They have great tour guides that give excellent instruction for first-timers. You practice a bit before you go out so you are totally comfortable with handling the segway. Then on the tour, the guides keep a good eye on the guests to make sure everyone is safe and having a good time. We wanted to go and see the historical murals in Austin…and as it turns out, we planned on doing so in the heat of the summer. Between trying to find parking and walking in the heat…this didn’t sound fun. But on a segway?! Heck yea! The mural tour is fantastic! There are so many interesting murals in Austin that are tucked away, a segway is a great way to see them, snap a photo and stroll along to the next one. This is THE WAY to see AUSTIN!

The Maine Brew Bus – Menu with Prices – 79 Commercial St, Portland

First I should start by saying that I cannot recommend this tour enough. Seriously it was very well done and you get to try a lot of beer. We did this brew tour for a bachelorette party this past weekend. It was 10 girls, the brides mom and two aunts. We were accompanied by our tour guide Shea and Drivin’ Ryan. We stopped at 3 places: Bissell Brothers, Foulmouthed and Goodfire. Our stop at Bissell brothers was first and we got to go in before the place even opened so that was cool. The beer was good and every stop you got to hear a little about each brewery and what made them different from the next. Obviously the group gets a little tipsier as the stops go on and Shea and Ryan were awesome with us the whole time. Shea is like an encyclopedia of beer facts so we did some fun trivia during the driving potions. PS on one stop they tour provides snacks. Everyone is my group was obsessed with it. It was some kind of local quiche pastry and it was amazing. Apparently we do it have anything like it back in Massachusetts lol. I highly recommend this tour!

Valentino’s – Menu with Prices – 4451 N 26th St, Lincoln

Dont think I’ll ever order at this location again. Was told 45 minutes ordered at 7:58PM and called at 9:14PM to check on order guy told me any second it should show up at any second. Got the pizza at 9:40PM. Asked the delivery guy what took so long and he said there was 4 other deliveries. Okay I get that he had 4 other pizzas to deliver but no one can pick up a phone and tell us they are going to be late. On top of that pizza was cold. Called and talked to manager and he gave me 25% off and wouldn’t own up to mistakes that were made. Also never did get a sincere apology or I hope you will still order with us. I normally dont write reviews but just so people know their food might be late and cold.

Tom’s Town Distilling Co. – Menu with Prices – 1701 Main St, Kansas City

Found this place through a google search, didnâ??t know it existed before that. Took the tour with a friend for their birthday. This was great. We went on a Friday evening and were the only people on the tour which I thought was going to be awkward, but our tour guide was great! He was so knowledgeable, answered all the questions we didnâ??t have know we had, and showed us the whole operation. It felt very special which was perfect for my friendâ??s birthday. When we got to the tasting we walked through the different flavors and styles he explained all the different things we should notice. ***y’all have got to try their gin*** after the tour we went upstairs and had a drink in their lounge, the drinks were Fantastic! They knew how to perfectly highlight the flavors in the alcohol. Over all I would totally recommend this place for a tour or just an evening it for drinks. Definitely a hidden gem and a must try in KC.

four54 Grill – Menu with Prices – 454 New Holland Ave, Lancaster

My mom and I are frequent flyers to Lancaster, PA and I don’t know how this place slipped under our radar all these years. Very good food, good atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Mom and I were totally unsure of what to order and he recommended the meatball sub. We thought it was delicious! He even had walked us through how he makes his meatball subs and it did not disappoint. (It is important to note my mom makes her own meatballs and sauce at home so she is a very hard meatball sub consumer to please as she usually prefers her own) We also got small fries (huge portion) and onion rings (so crisp and tender and juicy). Absolutely wonderful. Quicker than a normal sit down and longer than fast food. Will 100% be coming back to try more food

Concrete Cowboy – Menu with Prices – 3685 The Star Blvd #210, Frisco

I was very surprised for the lack of care for my company group dinner booking at the Frisco location. We are starting to make our company trainings more regional and we always host a dinner out for the trainees one night. I was told a place to go would be Concrete Cowboy. So I reached out to book a dinner. No one answered, so I had to leave a voicemail on an outgoing message that noted nothing about it being for Concrete Cowboy, so I wasn’t even sure I got the right number. Then when someone called me back, the hostess was nice, but couldn’t assist in confirming if I could put down a credit card to pay for our group dinner. She then accidentally hung up on me when saying she would get a manager. Manager called me back to state that they would not take a credit card authorization for “a group that small” (12 people) and that they only take credit card authorizations or payments from someone else NOT in the party for “larger groups.” I told them that is the first I have ever heard of that because I book dinners all the time for events and every other location either does (most places do this) or doesn’t at all (usually smaller restaurants). They don’t pick and choose which size groups can be paid for by a credit card authorization. So I told the manager that no one that would be onsite would have a credit card to pay for everyone, so if they wouldn’t accept me offering to pay with my corporate card over the phone or via credit card authorization, then we would go elsewhere and they would lose the booking. The manager then says “That’s fine” and then hangs up on me before I could say anything else. Apparently our business isn’t any good there. I will be sure to note that for when we have more trainings (larger trainings) coming into the area. We for sure won’t be booking there. I will also be telling our local location to not book there, either, for when they have events. So you may have thought you only missed out on one 12 person dinner, but you have missed out on a quite a few larger and consistently booked dinners, all because you couldn’t accommodate a credit card authorization for “such a small group” and also for hanging up on me. Good customer service! Way to not look at the bigger picture.

Cicis Pizza – Menu with Prices – 6633 Atlanta Hwy #340, Montgomery

The store is very nice the employees are friendly but the store manager Mr Joseph Boyd is very rude and needs to learn customer service!!I went into this store to specifically speak with him(He is the manager and name is on the door) But he would NEVER came over to me to see what I wanted.The cashier (very pleasant young lady) told him twice that I was there to see him and he continued to watch me behind the counter.He walked around as if trying to find something to do just to keep from speaking with me!He proceeded to get on his personal phone laugh and talking then he got on the store phone all while I sat patiently waiting for him to come and speak with me! I could have wanted to book a party order a large number of pizzas or looking for employment had a complaint etc but he had no desire to see what I wanted.I will be notifying corporate to see if this is the kind of business they teach their managers to run and if so now I know.I will not spend another penny at this location until they replace this manager or hopefully close down this location and rebuild out in Chantilly where I can guarantee this kinda behavior will not be tolerated from management.

Main Event Knoxville – Menu with Prices – 9081 Kingston Pike, Knoxville

I really do not like posting negative reviews, but feel I should give a heads up for all those going to visit. I went with my husband and 4 kids. We paid for an hour of bowling, which ended in the middle of the 10th frame… with no warning!! Not sure why the computer would not alert you of the diminishing time, but it didn’t. Then, went to eat. We were approached by an employee who told us we could sit anywhere. We sat at a long table. After a few minutes, we were approached by a different employee who informed us that there was no server there and we would have to move…. to 2 small booths, clearly not enough space to fit all 6 of us. A server came over and said she would have to get manager permission for a different table… and told us we could go back to the same table we had just been sitting at. At this point, I tried to order a beer. I had just been to the dmv for a new license with the star on it, and they issued me a paper license. The server said it was policy not to accept paper licenses! I told her I have my other license, but the dmv had put a hole punch in it. After the server spoke with the manager, they would not honor either! Frustrated, we left. Yes, there are a lot of activities for families to do, however the poor service we received ensured that we will not be back, and will let others know about the way we were treated.

Cowtown Winery – Menu with Prices – 112 W Exchange Ave, Fort Worth

We went out tonight because my wife found their Ghost Tour on Groupon and we thought it’d be a fun way to end our Halloween season. Well, the free glass of wine was good, but the tour was a joke. We are pretty sure our tour guide was either drunk or pretending to be drunk, but she referenced her nickname being Party-On and used it as a catchphrase multiple times throughout the 60-minute tour. The tour was pretty uninformative and mostly focused on the Stars on the sidewalk – several of which were for people that are still alive. Not really interesting stories to accompany them either and was more so just saying their name and their “title”. Heh. Weird and most people in our tour couldn’t have cared less. I know this because I talked to several of them when our guide took a bathroom break. The stories that actually pertained to ghost followed a pattern that sounded something like this, “People often see a ghost in the bathroom. The ghost will pull on people’s hair a little because they have a sense of humor. I talked to the owner and he said he heard people say they saw something. All good. Moving on.” Repeat. And repeat. And repeat again at the next place. Uh… what? That was the general story for almost every location on the tour, aside from two locations where she told us about who actually died and how. Part of the appeal of ghost tours are hearing the stories about who they were when they were alive, how they died, and then tell us some of the local, paranormal legend of their afterlife. This was a lot of hearsay with no backstory aside from “My neighbor swears she felt a breeze in that building over there. All good. Moving on.” Honestly, the whole Ghost Tour feels like cheap marketing for their winery. And it obviously worked because we wouldn’t have gone otherwise and still ended up spending $30 in addition to the $25 we spent on the tour. The winery is fine on its own, but the tour is laughably bad.

Fokkus Room & Cucine – Menu with Prices – 138 W Fordham Rd, The Bronx

I went here a week ago with my family for my cousins birthday. First of even though it says it closes at 12 the waiter informed us it closes at 11. Ok? No prop…. then when we are about to place the order he recommends Sushi Ninja “new” platter for a big group of people. $100.? Ok fine…. when it gets to the table. Our group of 8 make it disappear,literally like piranhas (it was really good i must say) but we are all left starving, it was obviously only good for maybe 3 people tops… ok at his point I’m not mad it is what it is. When we try to pay how ever! He tells us.. oh no we dont take cards past 11!!! Wtf? Ok well u are going to have to work something out because we only have cards. Fine ill take 1 card.. so I requested to speak to the manager.. ha! Manager comes and it is obvious she is more concerned with her manicure than she is what I’m saying. So after like 15 mins of explaining to her that some one should have told us about all these card rules before we ordered an her pointing at the door saying there is a sign she finally agrees to let us pay for our crap! To make maters worse, when we walked out the door we decide to read the sign she kept pointing to and guess what! That sign was deceiving as well, it only read ” sorry our card machine is out of service” …. smh Never again…
