I went to the Outback steakhouse in oak ridge Tn the other day for dinner with my daughter. I was struck instantly by the neat and clean condtion the restaruant. We were seated promptly and the serving staff was very curtious. Our food look awesome when it arrived. The food tasted wonderful and our glasses were never empty. I say this is one of the better steak houses for the money.I would recommend it to anyone who wants to relax and have a stress free meal.
PROS: The food is worth the money

When I phoned Oak Ridge Floral Co. to place an order for a relatives birthday, my great experience started when the salesperson answered the phone. They were polite & professional. They guided me through the order process effortlessly. For a person like myself who knew nothing about flowers, they sure were a HUGE help. They had dozens of varieties available and a immense selection of vases & planters available to arrange them in. When I heard from my loved one later that afternoon, the experience soared to a new level. She was DELIGHTED with the delivery she received. She said the driver actually engaged in a short conversation with her & wished her a very happy birthday. Plus, I found out later that the flowers lasted close to 10 days! Not only was I sold after my first experience with Oak Ridge Floral Co., but so was my relative who had always used another company in town. What an extraordinary company... I HIGHLY recommend Oak Ridge Floral Co.!!

El Cantarito is a great Mexican restaurant that I’ve found to offer speedy service and delicious food. The restaurant itself is small, however, this is not a bad thing at all. It has a cozy feel to it and a certain “loudness” that makes for a fun atmosphere. There’s always Mexican music playing which adds to the atmosphere but the real shocker will be when you order your food. The selection is huge! To top that the food is delivered fast and very hot. The way Mexican food should be served. The prices are rather affordable and there are always specials if you’re looking for a deal on an item you’ve never had before.
Highly recommended.

I have eaten here several times. There is a great selection, especially at dinner. The service is fine for a buffet but nothing special. The price is reasonable. I would recommend to anyone looking for a good selection at a good price.

As a lover of carbs myself, Panera Bread is right up my alley. Even if you are trying to limit your carbs, they have options for such dieters. But I'm glad I decided to fore go the low-carb craze and fill my plate with cheese danish and spinach-parmesan bagels! My husband and I can not get enough of this place. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast, leisurely lunch, or light dinner, Panera Bread can fit the bill. We have dined in and out for all three meals. If you are really in a hurry, you can walk in, put your money in a can and grab a coffee cup to go and fill up on your way out. The ambiance is half the reason we dine there so frequently. The decor is neutral and pleasing to the eye as the classical music being played is pleasing to the ear. I love that they have seasonal menus so you can try different soups, salads, and bagels all year long. So skip the low-carb fare and order some Baked Potato Soup in a bread bowl with a German Chocolate Danish for dessert...your five senses will thank you.

If you’re looking for a piece of Oak Ridge tradition then you need to make your way down to the Soup Kitchen. Despite what you may think, this is not for the homeless, it’s a great restaurant! There are 8 soups offered everyday and there are even free refills! The varieties change everyday but they are always great. The atmosphere is cozy and rustic. If you’re stopping through town you need to check this place out.

The customer service here is very nice; everyone is busy and attentive. I've had a good experience when getting oil changes, etc. I genuinely like the service people here and they did most of our auto work for years.
However, I had one experience that was so very bad that I've determined never to bring my car in for major work again. My car was hesitating when accelerating. After looking at it, the mechanic called and said they tried putting in a new part (distributor maybe? some octopus-looking thingy) but my car's computer was full of oil, there was nothing they could do, the car could struggle along for a while but would have to be scrapped soon.
Well I'd never heard of a computer full of oil, and when I told my husband that the car we had brought in with a slight hesitation would now have to be scrapped soon, he picked it up at Eddie Hair. Sure enough, it was much worse than when we brought it in, coughing, choking and barely able to move. We hobbled it over slowly it to another local mechanic, M&W Auto Repair for a second opinion (after paying $277 to Eddie Hair for the new octopus looking part).
M& W called us within the hour. Apparently, Eddie Hair's mechanic had put in the wrong size part. M & W replaced it with the correct part for half the price. We picked up the car later that day. It ran like a top, and still does, two years later! (And M&W had never heard of a car being scrapped for "oil in the computer" either).
To add insult to injury, Eddie Hair refused a refund for the octopus part, saying it was not defective and refusing to admit it was the wrong size. (They had no explanation for why the car barely moved when we picked it up from them and ran beautifully after M&W replaced the part). Needless to say, for any major work, we have gone to M&W ever since.
Pros: Pleasant servicepeople, convenient location
Cons: serious mistakes, overpriced work

Epicurean foods sells a variety of organic and quaint food items that you would not find in an ordinary grocery store. Everything is supposed to be healthy and for that you will have to pay more than you would elsewhere for non certified organic foods and spices. There is a wide range of item however and the atmosphere is cozy. The staff, however, tends to be somewhat disinterested.
