Case: I had  the build your own burger that came with a handful of homemade chips.  The burger and chips  were delicious ! I think the size of the burger would be best with not a sample of chips but a normal side of chips. Island's can get away with giving you a sample side  because their burgers are HUGE. The burgers here are a little smaller than your average gourmet burger. \nWe wanted some fries so we ordered the Fellini Fries. The fries were yummy with the truffle aioli but there wasn't enough aioli for all of the fries. The aioli only filled up the lower bottom of the sauce cup. I think they should at least fill the cup half way. The aioli is what makes the fries tasty so they shouldn't be stingy with it.\n\nWe typically end our meal with a shared dessert but we opted to share their Pearfection Salad.  I've had this salad at their other restaurant Double Helix and I think it's better than dessert! It has baby arugula, poached pears, bufala mozzarella, candied walnuts,  vanilla champagne vinaigrette with balsamic syrup. It was sweet pearfection!

Case: I really like this place.  They seriously need a bigger restaurant though.  It's so hard to get a group of people over 3 or  more in there.

Case: This review has nothing to do with the food. We have eaten at Famous Dave's in the past and was very pleased. However, we stopped by for lunch and had our dog with us. I politely asked the Hostess if the patio was dog friendly for a well trained dog. She asked the bartender who said no....only Service Dogs. The patio is huge and no one was out there. I think this is the first patio at a restaurant that we have been denied and IS NOT DOG FRIENDLY. For that, Famous Dave's, you get 1 star. Red Robin across the street gladly accommodated us.

Case: If you could given negative stars that is exactly what I would do.. This is the second horrible experienced I have had in this store.  first time a number of months back.  walked in store to upgrade phone, greeted, name taken and asked to take a seat until my turn.  Ok I thought, so I sat, and sat, walked around and sat some more.  Started noticing people in and out before and after me.  Hold on here, what gives.  Can I ask how much longer till I am seen.. Your name please, give name, oh we called you over 30 minutes ago.  Kidding right.  Oh hell no.  I am 6'2\"" weighing about 250 lbs and wearing a biker vest.  You didn't see me and you called me but I am at fault and will go to the bottom of list.  Today, needed service on a broken screen, check in with front clerk and told what I was there for.  Ok, have a seat and wait.  Again over an hour wait.  I young lady walks up to me after calling my name and asks how she can assist me.  I show her my screen and she get this look on her face like \""this dude is about to be pissed\"".  Well she was correct.  She walked over to the tech window and in less than 10 seconds I kid you not walked back to me and said we cant repair that.  You have to call the insurance line.  I was now fuming.  I asked why would I have to wait for over an hour for something you found out in less than 1-0 seconds and her reply was \""well did you tell them why you were her when you checked in\"" they put it in the notes you just read before you came up to me.  At this point I am done and all the girl working the front counter could say was \u00cf didn't check him in.  No sweetheart you didn't it was the third idiot working there.  The sure do train there people to give great excuses and to upsell, why not teach a little customer service while your at it.

Case: Located at South Blvd and Seneca, next to Office Depot, may be the best/quickest alterations joint in all of Charlotte.  (But they are behind locked doors, so ring the bell to be let in instead of jerking at the door handle).\n\nComing in around a busy lunch time to get a pair of jeans hemmed, I was warmly greeted and shown to the dressing rooms.  Once in the pants, I hopped (well, ambled because I am a fatty) up onto the podium and the pants were pinned to the desired length.  I believe is was $10 just to hem, or $15 to have the new hem match the stitching of the jeans.  When I came back just a few days later to pick them up, they were pressed and ready to go.  Upon wearing them, the break was perfect and you couldn't even tell that it wasn't the original hem.\n\nFast, friendly, efficient service with a smile and the pants were exactly what I needed.  Awesome!

Case: A lot of people call this an easy hike, though I find it to be rigorous. I'm reasonably in shape and regularly exercise, but really unless you HIKE/CLIMB regularly you'll find this to be challenging. \n\nMy first attempt at Camelback was last August. We did the Cholla Trail side. Yeah, I'm a dummy. But we started just before sunrise and had plenty of water. But I wasn't mentally prepared (I had heard it was easy) for it and it was just too hot. About one-third of the way I tapped out since I was getting dizzy and lightheaded and refused to push it and end up being that hiker who comes out of Camelback via helicopter because I passed out and fell off. I have since been back three more times (never in that kind of heat again, I do NOT recommend it) and summited each time (always Cholla, considered the easier trail).\n\nThe terrain is easy at the start (for the novice hiker), with rock or wood block steps and a well-traveled, roomy dirt trail. But once you hit about one-third mark, it narrows and you start using all fours like a monkey to scramble over the big rocks. By the time you get to the final third you are straight up rock climbing. I have trouble following the spray painted dots to stay on track. If there aren't people around to follow, I inevitably end up at a dead end and have to go back and try again. \n\nI have no fear of heights, but there are times that you're negotiating around and over rocks with a drop-off waiting for you if you misstep. Kind of freaks me out each time. The summit area is large and offers fantastic views. Bring a sandwich in your bag, your ipod or a book and hang out a while, it's quite nice. \n\nI've seen small children (as young as six) and I've seen small dogs (including a puppy Chihuahua who literally rolled down most of the big rocks, poor dog) but I wouldn't want to be responsible for either. 12 and up is more appropriate and medium-sized dogs used to climbing/trails. Thanksgiving weekend I saw a lot of elderly family members, kids and others obviously from out of town and not at all prepared for a hike (flip flops, no water). Don't drag your poor parents visiting from Michigan up Camelback, please. Unless they are used to somewhat rigorous hikes, you're going to end up with a hospital visit on your hands at worst; angry, tired, dirty, dehydrated and sore family members at best. \n\nHikers range from serious (you'll see them running up and down the mountain) to novice to everywhere in between. Everyone is friendly and says \""hi\"" as they pass by. And everyone offered water or asked if I was ok as I hung out in the shade to cool down when I attempted to climb in August. As long as you come prepared (water, water, water) and know what you're in for, you'll have a good time.

Case: Wow. I'm not even going to wait until I'm done before leaving a review. I just placed my order, 30 minutes after sitting down.\n\n11:35 - Sit at a table for 8 an order drinks. So far so good.\n\n11:39 - Things were going alright when we had a table of 8, but when a few more people showed up to attempt to give Floridino's some money in return for a quick lunch, all hell broke loose.\n\n11:41 - There was a room next to us with a bunch of empty tables. \""You can't sit in there. We don't have a server in there.\"" Screw it, we picked up our drinks and moved in. If they can serve us at that table, they can serve us one table over in this other room.\n\n11:45 - We asked to see the manager.\n\n11:50 - \""We can get you drinks in here, but not food. We have to wait for a table to open up out there. Then we can serve you.\""\n\n11:52 - Someone who looks like a manager peeks into the room and leaves. We still haven't spoken to a manager...\n\n11:55 - \""We don't want to overwhelm the kitchen.\"" (Hmm.. If you didn't want to \""overwhelm\"" the kitchen, maybe you should have taken my order 20+ minutes ago...)\n\n12:05 - They're taking our food orders in the Forbidden Room. I guess they're not as allergic to accepting our money as they led us to believe.\n\n12:32 - Just received my food in the Forbidden Room. Pretty much exactly an hour after I got here.\n\nYou suck, Floridino's.

Case: The parking itself was lovely but the proprietor was honestly kind of a dick about it. Something about not being there to see him?

The food is not fresh (anymore).  This used to be one of my favorite places.  I stopped by after a year had gone by and the food quality has significantly declined.  Mushy tomatoes, undercooked rice hard as a rock..  At least the guac was good.  I won't be returning though.
