Bread as soon as you sit down to appease hungry kids. And a good childrens menu for picky eaters. Also the adult menu is extensive enough for adults who are tired of pizza and spaghetti. Friendly servers who get the food out quickly. This is not the best choice for foodies looking for romance but for hungry families a budget friendly...

And I was pleasantly surprised. The Chicken was moist,tender,all white meat. The breading was amazing they must be cooking it in oil like Chick Fil A uses and the bun was warmed up. I would compare it to Chick Fil A and that is my absolute FAVORITE chicken EVER !!! I would have never ever tried this sandwich if I wouldn't have got it for FREE today. It comes only with pickles just like CFA. I give MCD's the Thumbs up for this new innovative southern style chicken sandwich. it's MMMMMMMMMDELICIOUS. —...

I decided to join the YMCA in our area after meeting a senior director at another local Y, and I couldn't be happier. I don't feel self conscious when working out there. After joining, you get to meet with a trainer and learn what exercise program will help you best meet your goals, so I always go in knowing just what to do. It's been great! —...

I think I only go there for the dessert! The food is extremely delicious and the waiters there are very friendly and quick. I love this restuarant. I normally go there for birthdays and stuff. My friend actually just recently had a few people go there for his birthday and the staff sang to him and it was so funny. He got so embarrassed. Like he didn't know we would do that..HA! —...

When I called, the young lady who answered the phone was so helpful. She answered all my questions and said she had the flowers I wanted in stock. I was not able to see the flowers as I live 1200 miles south of them. My Mom just loved the flowers and I will use Colonial Florist again and again. Mom said there were so many flowers she was thinking of putting them in another vase. Thank you Colonial for making Mothers Day a beautiful one for...

Incorporating the finest varieties of beef, buffalo, turkey, vegetarian and vegan products, a range of gourmet toppings and delicious buns, Burger Bar has a little bit of everything for the creative eater. Complete the experience with a Sweet Burger dessert or a hand-crafted micro brew.  The menu features a wide selection of burgers, but you get to choose the meat, the toppings and even the tasty bread.  I love the veggie burger, but you can enjoy a classic burger, lamb burger, turkey burger, or savor the tastes of salmon on a bun.  Pile your burger high with the condiments and toppings of your choice like grilled onions, sauteed mushrooms or crisp lettuce.  I love having the freedom to create...

Relax in the Tequila Bar and indulge in The Goddess Elixir, prepared table side by Isla's Tequila Goddess with Herradura Seleccion Suprema, Grand Marnier 100 Year Anniversary, Cointreau, and Fresh Citrus Syrup. The award winning chefs create true Mexican dishes with a modern twist.  For starters try the Crunchy Corn Masa Cakes or the Empanadas.  Have your guacamole prepared tableside just the way you like it.  The entrees feature tacos, enchiladas and burritos and all are prepared with fresh ingredients and taste amazing. ...

The fashionable yet relaxed atmosphere is ideal for enjoying sake, wine and many other libations.  Outdoor patio lounge seating provides a stunning view of the Strip, and provides VIP viewing of the live battle between The Sirens of TI and the pirates of the Bull Ship.

Sink into this island paradise splashed with vibrant colors and tiki décor. Bartenders serve up refreshing, frozen signature cocktails, and traditional drink creations, at the wildest bar in Las Vegas. Seasonal poolside dining is also available.  The bar menu is great and cheaper than the dinner menu, so order up in the bar to enjoy the same experience at a cheaper rate.  The menu features tropical wonders like the Lanai Chicken Pasta, Polynesian Mahi Mahi, and the Miso Salmon.  The flavors are sweet and tart and have an amazing taste.  Save room for dessert and enjoy the fried cheesecake or Kahuna sundae.  The service is great and you're in for a fun dinner...

No bargain...

At this restaurant you go up to the counter, order your meal and then find a table and they bring your food out to your corresponding table number. Ordering a hearty meal can cost less than 10.00$, being a college student I know that is not cheap, but I do think it is worth the great food and service. — The customer service is friendly and everyone in there seems to be happy to help with anything you might need.  I was asked if there was anything else I needed when the food was brought out, and I did manage to get a few extra FREE pickles.  After eating and taking home half my meal in a to-go box, you simply get up and leave,...
