“I haven't been there in a while because they got my orders wrong from whatever food delivery service sent the food to my house. So I went by the drive-thru today and ordered an Italian combo. I got it home and found out that it was missing the sausage. I can't win. I won't be going back.“

“This place is a hidden gem!! I wanna start by saying the service was top tier. I was greeted immediately and my food was made in under 10 minutes. The burger was AMAZING, and the fries were fresh, crispy, and seasoned to perfection. You have to come try it if you haven’t!!“

“Fast and fresh. A little pricey but so delicious. The staff from cashier to the guy who presented me with my order was very friendly. Nice atmosphere.“

“Fries were not full barely any suaces were given and no straws in the bags. 100.00 order price is getting out of control. quality is as good as mc donalds anymore. you partner with Doordarshan which was over 14.00 in fees. yet grubhub I find out has free delivery for prime members.“

“In a world where everything changes constantly, it is so nice to have one place to go and grab a bite to eat where the food is just as wonderful as it was when you were a teenager, and that’s been a while:-) I love eating at Mel’s and I always leave with a smile on my face.“

“Getting sloppy. Chick-fil-A everywhere has always ser the standard for drive-thru speed and accuracy. Twice now in the last month, they've missed something from my order. A little more focus on accuracy, please. Otherwise the place is phenomenal.“

“great friendly fast service with a smile 😁“

Not only is she friendly and bubbly, but she goes out of her way to make sure you are taken care of. Both visits our food has been good and orders were correct. We will definitely visit again!!“

“Hands down, one of the best Five Guys experiences I’ve ever had—and I’ve had more than five, if you catch my drift. 😉

It had been a while since my last visit, and I was pleasantly surprised. The cashier, Contessa, went above and beyond: she kindly explained the new menu options, including the combo meals, and was incredibly patient with my friend, who speaks limited English.

Our food came out quickly, hot, and absolutely delicious. As we were finishing up, Contessa came by while tidying the dining area (which was immaculate) and checked in to make sure everything was great. We ended up having a light, friendly conversation, and her warm, funny personality made us feel genuinely welcome.

Contessa is a total asset to your team and made this visit a true five-star Five Guys experience.“

“Great food and enough for two people 😘😘😘😘“

“I recently visited this hookah lounge and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was chill and inviting, with dim lighting, great music, and comfortable seating that made it easy to relax for hours.

The hookah itself was top-notch — smooth hits, dense clouds, and a great variety of flavors to choose from. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to help with flavor recommendations or coals when needed. I especially appreciated how clean and well-maintained everything was, which made the whole experience feel even better.

They also had a nice selection of drinks and light snacks to go with the vibe. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or hang out with friends in a laid-back setting, this place definitely hits the mark.

Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great late night spot.
Very popular, so there may be a line to the door
-Cheesesteak 7.5/10
-Fries 8.5/10
-Super friendly staff 10/10

I'm kind of a cheesesteak snob living in new jersey, visiting philly a lot growing up. Honestly, I wouldn't get that from here again. But i'm definitely gonna go back to this restaurant and try something else.“

“Very professional“

“Absolutely obsessed with PDQ’s Nashville Hot Chicken! The perfect balance of heat, flavor, and crunch—crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, with just the right kick. It’s my go-to every time I visit. Add some fresh fries and a shake, and you’ve got a top-tier meal. Fast, friendly service and always consistent. PDQ nails it!“

“Lost some money from gambling at the hard rock, got home drunk, angry, and hungover. Started looking for spots open at 4am and I saw this place and I had to call them to make sure this was true and to my surprise it was. Once there I walk in, it’s a small little spot but quaint. Ordered their special sandwich can’t even recall what it was called but it was like OVER a foot big I also had these meat balls and it was all amazing the balls had amazing hot well seasoned beef and the sandwich had soooo much meat with all the goods… a must try after throwing away money at the hard rock at 4am“

“***Update 8/29/25*** ordered $77 worth of burgers & fries for family dinner and everything was wonderful. I let the store know at pickup I appreciated FRESH fries since my last 3 orders weren’t great. He apologized and thanked me for the order. Store was clean and workers seemed happy to be there.

This location is normally good but tonight my lettuce wrap burger was wrapped in the white very unappetizing part. Fries were the bottom of the batch a bunch of nubs. A costly disappointment.“

“Chef Mike was awesome. Our kids had a great time learning about PDQ’s and making their own milk shake creation.“

“I was acturally at Wendys at the Airport It was great Great Breafast before my flight Staff was Excellent Food was Great“

“slowwer than Christmas,don't waste my time,I gave them another opportunity and they let it go again , I WILL NOT BE BACK !!!“

“I'm sorry I'm writing so late. Reason: I wanted to try the others. Conclusion: This Culver's is by far the best in town. They haven't made a mistake on any order so far, they always have fresh produce, and they have a welcoming, friendly team that truly makes you feel like part of the family. 10 stars to the team and the store. Keep up the good work.

*next door* 😁“

“Hi guys, this is Jeffrey. I thought I’d write a review on The Tijuanas at Fowler Ave. I wanted to say that I have been attending Tijuana Flats since 2004 - Present. Also they were I believe just becoming popular. Let me tell you this….the place is off the chain with service and excellence in prices menu options, cleanliness music lights and so much fun. It’s like a Disney World almost lol. Great Food awesome service and really feels great indoors bc of the cool temp AC on a hot day esp. Highly recommend Wesley Chapel but First and Foremost the Fowler Avenue location because the staff and comfort of the welcoming and inviting atmosphere is unmatched and second to none. My fav place to go for any meal hands down. Thank you Lad’s and Ladies for making my Tijuanas Experience unlike any other Restaurant Experience ever. ❤️❤️👍👍🙌🙌“

“its hands down one of the best places to eat i come every other day“

“The BEST churros in the area ever!!! I would give this lady a million stars if I could, she was very nice and quick with the service. Drove by many times and finally decided to give it a try and I was NOT disappointed! Hot and fresh churros every time, love it with Nutella dipping. The Cuban is to die for!!!! There is a combo that comes with a Cuban and 6 churros for 5.25 unbelievable!!! You can get stuffed churros, empanadas, and a few other savory options! Unbeatable prices and service, so delicious! Love churroWOMEN!!!“

“Renee was the best!!! She hav end extra ice, broke a large bill for me so I had change and was so sweet.“

“Great place to go! Shae/Shay showed great and very friendly service! No complaints!“

“Delicioso 😋 recomendado 💯“

“From entering to exiting, the staff was very friendly. Well seasoned and flavorful Mediterranean and seafood dishes. Busch Gardens tries to hide this place with their half-mile wall, but we made the trek anyway! In a sea of burgers and nuggets at the theme park, we wanted something better and this place hit the spot. Happy campers!“

“Want to start off by saying the manager Ross there is unbelievable, the guy treats you with such respect and always smiling and runs a great ship, we had the double burger with cheese all the way it was phenomenal and then finish it off with a banana split that he custom makes for me every time me and my wife come there ! I highly recommend the Culver's in Town & Country on West Hillsborough Avenue 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Today at International Plaza I was able to get my favorite version of the Sunjoy® by substituting unsweet tea for the sweet tea and diet lemonade for the sweetened lemonade, my TwistyTarty lemonade. And of course French fries.

“great staff, very professional, food is always hot and fresh“

“Wonderful great food I was really impressed b with the grilled cheese burger yummy 🤤“

“I ordered from this location tonight (as I do most every weekend) and the burgers were borderline raw. I didn't discover until they were brought home and my schedule didn't allow to return to the store so had to pitch them. I called this evening and spoke to the night manager. He explained they have been training a lot of new employees (and also trainers) and was understanding and apologetic for the experience. He readily offered to make it right (I was satisfied with his solution) and identified the need for more training and committed to helping his team improve. He owned the mistake, offered a solution and identified it was an area that needed work. No restaurant is perfect. I can handle mistakes (more than once) when the management care and they are working to make it better. They will get another order next week and I do recommend this establishment. Not because they were perfect, but because they listened, cared and I believe they will work to make it better. See you next week Five Guys!“

“love homemade pork cubans“

“Me encantó la comida. Buena atención y rápida.“

“The Gyros was very good, I highly recommend this place.“

“The Taco Bell in Northdale deserves a standing ovation (and maybe a lifetime supply of Baja Blast). I pulled up expecting a quick snack and instead got a full-blown spiritual experience wrapped in a warm tortilla. The staff here are heroes — fast, friendly, and somehow always manage to get my complicated “no tomato, add extra cheese” order exactly right. That’s precision you don’t see every day.

The food? Chef’s kiss. My Crunchwrap Supreme looked like it was made by a food stylist for a commercial. The tacos were crunchy, the nacho cheese flowed like liquid gold, and the burrito? Pure joy in a flour blanket. I don’t know what kind of sorcery they’re working back there, but I’m here for it.

Also, shoutout to the drive-thru crew — lightning fast and hilarious. They had me laughing before I even got my food. It’s like fine dining meets comedy club meets 2 a.m. cravings.

If you’re in Northdale and need something that’ll fix your hunger and your mood, this Taco Bell is the spot. I didn’t just get dinner… I got a memory. 🌮💜“

“My husband and I went to Victoria"s for the first time Sept 5th. The deviled crab was great. The Cuban sandwich was very good. And Rose was a very sweet lady. D McGarrah“
