Example: Doooood! Like a number of reviewers, I'll admit that I'm probably biased because I love cocina Cubana & just haven't been able to find any that's authentic in a while. I used to teach after school in Corona, Queens and I'd always stop for a sandwich, some ropa vieja, tostones, cafe Cubano, chuletas etc. for lunch. But that's another review (psst...7 train to Roosevelt avenue stop from grand central if you find yourself in nyc).  Anyway, I ordered some basics - the Cuban sandwich, frijoles negros, the mofongo and a cafe Cubano. I wasn't expecting much so I didn't want to go for the real entrees and be disappointed, like the way I am at most so-called Mexican restaurants in Phoenix. Yikes!\n\nThe woman running the show was great. Very nice, smiling and offered to bring the coffee out while I waited if I wanted. She was conscientious enough to make sure I knew that cafe cubano already has sugar in it and that it's espresso unless you order it con leche (with milk), but I take it black and sweet (no, I don't mean that as a double entender- ha!) That's when my expectations changed.\n\nIt was delicious. All of it. I know mofongo isn't technically of Cuban origen, but it was proper, and I haven't had Puerto Rican cuchifrita in a minute either. \n\nAnd, while it wasn't crowded, there were other tables there that had ordered ahead of me and I still got my food in 7 minutes, which is exactly how long she said it would take.  It sounds like others felt the service was slow, but I didn't.  I would have expected slower at a small family-run joint like this where one woman is working in the kitchen, waiting tables and watching two kids. \n\nYou have to remember that most of this food is roasted or stewed and that Cuban food, and frankly most things Cuban, are made slowly and deliberately by hand, and that in island culture, few things are done in a rush. So sit down, sip some coffee or Malta or a beer and be patient already,especially if you order ropa.vieja or other things that are SUPPOSED to take a while to make properly. Its worth it. If youre in a hurry go to jack in the box or somethinh. I'm going back to try everything.  My total bill was $13 and I had to take most of the beans and rice home. I'm 6'2 and 220 lbs so that may give you an idea what you might spend to fill yourself up. I fail to see how that is overpriced.  Where have you guys been eating? Best ever? No - but legit and above average for sure.\n\nP.S. it ain't fancy. It's a Cuban restaurant. Set yourexpectations accordingly. And they do have a few rum drinks now too, and according to the menu, in fine print near the bottom,  Cuban rum (shhhhh!) but I'd recommend going for the food - there's not really much of a bar to speak of.\n\nNow I just need to find a good jamaican spot.\n\nP.S. it's not a buffet anymore as others have recently mentioned. Fresher food, more space for people to dance or socialize, and fewer gluttonous patrons! Buffets gross me out.

Example: the tea is nicely priced and is to die for. although the food is a bit pricy, it is well worth it. basically, everything that you get there WILL taste like love... and you'll leave pleased with yourself. the staff is also very nice and very attentive. i would recommend trying one of the chai teas... they are fantastic.

Example: Over priced, poor restaurant layout (not enough seating), small portions and decent sandwich.
Class: unwillfully


Example: Service was awful. I tried Tuesday special Pastie; it was horrible and way overpriced. Not a true northern Michigan pastie. Very small portion with roast beef and celery which are not ingredients in a traditional pastie.\n\nSkip this place for lunch .

Example: This place is awesome! My favorite is the Garlic Spinach pizza.

Example: For a BBQ/Pork shop the pork was dry and Nasty. You got no choice of what sauce they put on your ribs. The service was worse than the pork. At one point there were no employees where a customer could find them. My wife had to go get her own silverware. The only good thing I had here were the chicken wings. For a pork shop really. There are better choice near by.

Example: First time trying NY Pizza Express tonight, and I am very glad I did! \nFound a menu online to have a look at prices, very reasonable, actually I was surprised at how cheap they were. We order 2 large pies, one just mozz, the other sausage & bacon, for delivery on a Saturday evening. They gave us a 30-40 min time estimate, and were in my driveway no more than 20 minutes later! Good friendly service both on the phone, and from the delivery driver. \nPizza was great, nice slightly chewy crust, thin, but  not too thin. Good amount of sauce, and cheese tasted very fresh! It was really good. Super happy to have tried this place, now I just need to try their subs, calzones, and everything else! \nThanks NY Pizza Express!

Example: Expensive and the food wasn't very good at all and there was no one in the restaurant and they still tried to put us at a bad table! Vodka pour was pathetic and the portions sizes were very small.  No way will this stay in business longer than a year.

Classify the following: My chicken dish was over cooked, rice and beans have set on the steam table to long, dried out! Restaurant was clean, service was good. Doubt I'll ever go back, not impressed!
