Case: Chalk this one up to \""sh*t that was cooler when I was a kid.\""  I think it was cooler mainly because I still believed in Santa Claus or didn't wonder how and why stores would stock all the stuff they do and why American consumers feel so inclined to buy as much stuff as they do...\n\nTook the GF here this weekend and I was disappointed.  We had some good food but the overall Old Town experience was lacking even at the best of the galleries and sh*t shops.

Case: My son and I were downtown and I decided to introduce him to Mrs. Whites, a place I had not been to in several decades. We ordered the fried chicken and the pork chops. We never got any cornbread. I got maccaroni rather than the requested rice and gravy. The photos on the menu implied a pair of bone in chops rather than the boneless pieces of dry pork loin in a flavorless crust I was served, one at a time. The fried chicken was inconsistent in that some parts were rare and others overcooked! Finally we were charged an additional 70 cents for the luxury of using a credit card. So the meal was $13 a plate plus two and change each for weak sweet tea and lemonade. The biggest waste of $38 in recent memory. The servers were surly and disinterested. Mrs. White would be embarrassed at what has transpired since her departure. \nI long for the days in the 70's when Lucille's Soul Food Cafe was on Washington with her 'real deal' oxtails and genuinely delicious food. This place is the WORST!

Case: The good news is the chef or whoever pretends to do that can't screw up the beer. The food is another story. Lunch pulled pork sliders actually made me ill. Lukewarm congealed pulled pork (probably from a huge days old refrigerated batch) concoction on nondescript rolls with a strange onion? pile of something on the middle of plate. Not cheap either. I'd recommend you go down the street a block to Brio.

Case: I guess I should have realized the only restaurant I could get reservations for in the city of Pittsburgh for light up night was going to at be a disaster.  Well the four of us arrived for dinner at 8 as our reservations were expected but of course our table was not ready even though the restaurant had plenty of open seating.  Should have expected the worse and got it.  Sat down and ordered wine which took at least 15 minutes.  Should have expected the worse and got it.  Ordered  four veal dishes then sat for over an hour waiting for our meal.  When I inquired about the meals, after seeing tables round us served  even though we were seated before them I got upset, wouldn't you?  Meals finally arrived, ordered another round of wine, ate then asked for the check.  Waitress arrived with check expecting us to pay full price.  When I asked to see the manager she asked if something was wrong.  After explaining that we were upset about the time it took us to get served she said would complimentary round of wine satisfy us?  Normally it would but since I had to ask I asked to see the manager.  NOT the most articulate manager since she explained she was a retired Avon representative I kind of knew why the restaurant is what it is.    She also commented, well you know the customer is NOT always right!  \n\n If your looking for a good meal and good service try the restaurants in Market Square and do yourself a favor and stay away from this place.

Case: Hi! I am excited about Big Joe's Little Gym, and I wanted to share that with you. I began working out on February 14, 2014 with Joe, where I met with him for 1/2 hour once a week, and he would write my workouts for the remainder of the week. Even though my workouts were on my own, I was supervised, as he was in the gym working with others. If I needed clarification on doing an exercise, or correction on form, he's there to provide it. I hadn't worked out in several years, and was nervous about injury or soreness. Joe is quick to provide alternate exercises that work the same muscles, when a particular exercise proves too tough to handle at first. You will get results without injury, and just enough soreness that can be handled! In the first month, I lost 17 lbs and about 5 inches total from my hips, waist, and bust. I am now in the \""Dirty Thirty\"" class, which is an intense daily half hour class that concentrates on one muscle group a night. The people in class are fun fun fun! And motivating! Classes are small, but intense. Joe's knowledge of training, and the care he takes with his clients is the best reason to come to this gym. I'm so glad I found this place!

Case: The South Point is the king of drawing in people. During a time of scaling back and living a more modest lifestyle, this casino invites guest in with meal specials and giveaways. They also have no problems with combining offers. My dad had received a cash value comp and had a two for one entree coupon and they accepted both. With them practically giving food away, how good could it be? Surprisingly enough, it was worth the full price they would be charging.\n\nWe started our meal with an order of Calamari Fritto. It was not the best I have ever had, but very generous. The batter was too doughy, leaving an odd finishing texture on the tentacle pieces. My dad had ordered the Medium Rare Veal Chop. Are you sure that came from a young cow? This bone in cut was enormous. The meat was tender with a thin sliver of fat to lock in all the flavor. Served on top of a bed of green beans with a side of sauteed onions, it was a feast. If that was not enough, it comes with pasta in marinara and a side salad or soup. My mom got the Cioppino, it was thickened with a little cream and had a copious amount of seafood. The stew had half a lobster tail, scallops, clams, mussels, large prawns, and calamari. Throwing in some linguine and it is a meal big enough for two. We shared it and there was still enough to take home. I got the Gnocchi, sub marinara instead of the regular cream sauce. The tomato base made for a fresher and lighter flavor. The potato pasta were fluffy and not as dense as I would expect for the size. I ended up packing this to go. Both of these last dishes come with a side salad or soup as well. \n\nAfter an enjoyable meal, the only complaint comes from the billing issue, but even that can be overlooked due to a delicious meal.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Every time we order from here something is wrong. Pizza is cold. We ordered wings the had no sauce yea no hot sauce at all. You can't expect much from a chain pizza place but this location is horrible. The service woah it's like you are asking them to much to correct your order.
