We ate here a few weeks ago and I have to say I was quite impressed. Not so much with the business as these types of restaurants seem to be a dime a dozen anymore. What I was most impressed with was the cleanliness and the customer service. Our waiter was attentive but not OVER attentive if you know what I mean! There is nothing I detest more than having a waiter/waitress constantly at my table bugging me! I am not a huge pizza fan, I have my moods where it sounds really good but most of the time I prefer something else. But my husband ordered a single pizza and it looked and tasted great. On a positive note, if you have children they get to "make" their own pizza at the table, which can be a thrill for younger kids. Overall the experience was good and I would recommend this restaurant to others without hesitation. Especially for those with children.

It is nearly impossible for my boys to go to the mall and not want a pretzel from Auntie Anne's Pretzels. They love the ones with salt and of course they must have the cheese to dip it in! I admit, from time to time I like the exact same thing. But the draw to Auntie Anne's for me is their lemonade. I have no idea what makes it taste to fresh but it is a huge favorite of mine. So, you will see my and my sons walking the mall holding our pretzels and lemonades, especially if it is a hot day outside!

If you have never eaten ice cream here, run don't walk! This place is fabulous. When I first walked in I felt a little intimidated since I had never been there before. I wasn't exactly sure how everything worked. But it didn't take long to see what I wanted.
The deal with this ice cream shop is you can create your very own flavors, or go with ones that have already been created. They start with the basic flavors of ice cream and then "work in" the other items you want added, such as nuts, marshmallows, candies, cherries, whatever you decide. Everything tastes fresh and is so yummy!
The prices are a bit more expensive than other ice cream places we go to, so I save our visits for special occasions. It is so much fun to pick out just what you want!
Don't miss out on this one! Especially with warm weather on its way!

My husband and I ate here in 1993, it was our first date. Just a few days ago we returned since we moved back to the local area after being away for at least ten years.
We were not disappointed. "Captain John" himself greeted us as we walked in the door, he had a cheerful way about him and you felt instantly comfortable and welcomed.
We were seated at a booth, each booth has its own name, unfortunately I can't remember the name of ours. The restaurant is done in a nautical theme, with lighthouses, parrots, tropical plants, ropes all over the place. There is so much to look at. And while looking, I noticed how clean everything is. Sometimes a restaurant will have many items hanging up on the walls or ceiling but you turn away because they are dirty. Not here, everything was clean and shiny.
We ordered stuffed mushrooms as our appetizer and I had a glass of Cabernet, which was served in the proper glass with just a hint of chill.
The waitress was friendly and available when needed. Never hovering over us but within an earshot should we need her.
Bread and house salads came after the appetizer, timing was perfect and serving sizes were just right.
My husband ordered Lobster N Seafood AU Gratin which is shrimp, crab meat, scallops and lobster tails in a cheese sauce. Everything was well cooked and tasted delicious.
I ordered the Alaskan King Crab Legs...and all I can say is YUMMMMYYY. Served with warm butter and split so no cracking required. I also had smashed garlic potatoes which were very tasty and creamy.
Thinking we were too full for dessert we were lead astray just by taking one look at the dessert tray. We both ordered the creme brule and that was excellent as well. Nice warm, crusty texture on top with the soft, cool texture below. A must have dessert!
There is something on the menu for everyone and they have a bar to sit and have a drink or two before dinner. This is a family restaurant and they do have a children's menu. But, I think I will keep the kids at home since this place holds romantic memories for hubby and I.

I have to admit I stop in here almost every week during our bowling. I go for the $1 menu and pick a MCchicken sandwich. Just the right size and calories to get me by. I can't say I am very impressed with too many other items on their menu but this is a good one. Not too much fat and calories and easy on the pocket book. I look at it like a special treat just for me.
The service is so-so considering it is usually all teens working. But they do a decent job.

If you watch for sales you can purchase clothes at a very good price. Unfortunately my boys dislike clothing that has the name of the brand all over it! So the Old Navy hoodeis and shirts are a no go. But they do like the pants, especially the cargo pants that unzip. We make sure to hit this store during every "tax free week" that we have and stock up on those pants.
If you watch online you can sometimes print coupons to use at this store as well.

They have it all at Gander Mountain! I shopped here for the first time on Sunday. I was amazed at how well the store was laid out. You could find what you were looking for without any problems. And the associates were very helpful and definitely knew what they were talking about.
If you like to camp, they have everything you could even imagine to make your camping trip easier. And plenty of things you wouldn't even think of!
Stop in and check it out! The prices are reasonable and it is a one stop shop for all your outdoor needs.

Nothing fancy but a comfortable place to grab some lunch or dinner. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are nice sized. Nice family feel to the place. Service has always been fast and friendly. I always feel like I have stepped back in time just a little when eating here, it just has that feel of a 60's diner.
Open Monday-Sunday.

I've never understood their slogan. I didn't realize there were any rules whatsoever to eating a steak. Just cook mine medium rare and I'm a happy clam!
Our local Outback is suitable for family dining. I stay away from the busy times of the day though. I don't find their food to be on a scale that I would stand in line to wait, even with the call ahead seating.
We ate their recently two pasta dishes, two chicken fingers and one steak with baked potato. Everyone's food was good. My steak was a typical house steak but was cooked appropriately. The only disappointment was my baked potato. Not only was it cold when it was brought to the table but 1/2 of it was rotten. Since everyone else had a nice dinner, I didn't feel like sending it back and then having a cold steak.
Overall the service was good and food acceptable. We will eat there again if we get an urge to go.
***Update*** After contacting Outback and letting them know of my baked potato fiasco I will admit I am very impressed with their overall handling of the situation. I spoke with the general manager who had great service recovery, he apologized for the potato and mailed me a $20 gift certificate to use for a future visit. I will go back.

You just can't go wrong ordering ANYTHING from Chipotle's. My favorite is the chicken with black beans, corn and hot chiles or something along those lines. It has been a few years since I have been able to eat there. I can't find anything like it on the East coast!
I love the chips and guacamole also! Yummy!
Enjoy one for me when you can!
