Text - This review may not accurately portray the resort because it involves a planned event/conference. We stayed here last year during the same period and it was excellent. The grounds are nice - a large, sprawling complex that can be a little confusing at night. Two nice pools, a life size chess site and spacious rooms are all very impressive. The catered meals were great last year and we were able to check into our rooms early. This year, not so much. Our meetings were finished at noon, but the rooms originally would not be ready until 4pm. Later it was changed to 2pm. Some reservations for our group were not made correctly and resulted in issues. When we called about our room the day before check in, there was a long delay in actually reaching someone. The evening of the first night I attempted to place a wakeup call, but no one answered. The food this year was weak. The first day breakfast was a small continental breakfast. Lunch was a house sandwich - slices of bread, deli meat, tomato and lettuce...I would have made that in my refrigerator at home. The swordfish and nice vegetables of last year were replaced with hors d vores this year. It felt like bar food at happy hour. I didn't stay for lunch the next day - it was a sacked lunch with what I heard was a wrap. Dinner was descent with made to order pasta stations, but really it was mostly just the pasta with very little side dishes. Housekeeping was unpredictable. Day 2 it was after 1:00 and they still hadn't been in our room, but Saturday they were knocking on the door at 8:05 am. \n\nThe internet access is $8 per day; the fitness center $15.There were hardly any items in the gift shop, which last year was full.  I know our total bill was high and compared to last year I had high expectations for another great weekend. The resort is in bankruptcy and being auctioned in the next few weeks. Comparing the stay this year to last year, it appeared they were cutting corners. I did not use the spa or the golf course to see how those services compared, but the services such as event planning and housekeeping were a come down from previous years.

Text - I went to Al's after stumbling across a review posted online. I went around 4 in the afternoon and was surprised at the selection they still had available. Plus, they were still making more in the back.\nI had to wait for a few minutes because it looked like there was only one person working but it gave me a chance to decide what I wanted.\nI ended up buying 2 kronuts, one cream and one raspberry, and two glazed donuts. The glazed were quite big. They weren't as airy as I normally like them, but still yummy. I ate one of the kronuts when I got home and thought it was okay. Once I got past the excess of powdered sugar, which made it a little too sweet for me, it was actually pretty yummy. I'm saving the other one along with the other glazed for tomorrow. \nI don't know if I'll be going back anytime soon, it was a little hard to turn in to the parking lot because of the traffic and how relatively close it is to the intersection, but it was well worth it.

Text - It's jack in the box so you know what to expect but this is one of the few jack in the box locations that is not stingy at all with the condiments. I ordered a snack box and asked for ranch (you can put ranch on almost anything at jack) I got 5 containers of it. Don't mind me just getting excited over ranch.

Text - Three cheers (or four stars) for Original ChopShop Co!\n\nAfter several lunches brought into the office for me and now one actual visit where I dined in, I can proudly say that OCSC is a new favorite and will definitely be thrown into the regular rotation moving forward.  \n\nI've had their chopped vegetable salad, grinder sandwich, kale caesar salad, and Arnold Palmer and I've enjoyed it all... It's so nice to have a place with so many healthy options nearby.  I also love the fast casual concept (where you order at the counter and they bring your food out to you when it's ready).  \n\nWord to the wise: it gets crowded during the lunch hour, but it's worth the wait for sure... especially if you're craving something healthy and filling.  And while the line may appear long, it goes fast.  There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well.  Nice to have options!\n\nEmployees are friendly and prices are reasonable.  Looking forward to future visits!

Text - I tried u-swirl a while ago and wasn't very impressed, but I recently got a coupon in the mail for a free yogurt so u figured it would be the perfect time to give it another chance.  As many others have mentioned, they do have very friendly employees which is nice, but the yogurt is just disappointing. I find it strange that this location opened up a few months after yogurtland went in right around the corner -- and I do feel a bit bad for it every time I leave the packed yogurtland and drive by the empty u-swirl. Anyway, I wish I liked this place more because it's way more spacious than the yogurtland and has a lot of different flavor options. However, I can't give it a very good review. Tonight I got red velvet, cookies and cream, whoppers and vanilla...almost all of them came out of the machine soupy which did not bode well for me taking it home. Maybe they just have the temperature set incorrectly on the machines, because the consistency is just wrong. The vanilla didn't come out soupy, but instead it was icy. None of the flavors were creamy and the red velvet tasted like, well, nothing. Weird. I can't see why anyone would come here and pay top dollar ($.08 more per ounce than yogurtland )when the yogurt is far superior at golden spoon and yogurtland. While it was nice to get a free yogurt, by the time I got home (which is literally around the corner) it was half melted, leaving me with chocolate chip and brownie soup. Bummer.

Text - Waste of money...drinks are pitiful. Bartender was a dick.  I'll never attend another Minus5 establishment nor recommend the \""experience\"" to anyone.  I want a full refund.

Text - This has got to be the worst Wendy's in Charlotte. My expectations are never that high when it comes to fast food but they are ridiculous. We usually always end up going here late at night when there are NO cars yet still have a 10 minute wait. On top of the waiting time they almost always forget something. The only reason we go here is because its on the same street as our house. With a newborn who needs constant attention and a husband who can only cook a bowl of cereal, this is a last resort.

Text - The best authentic Mexican in Litchfield Park. The owners and staff couldn't be friendlier and the patrons are always returning for more. Also they are the cleanest spot too.

Classify the following: I come here often and want to update my last review.  This is a mom and pop establishment.  Margaret is a delightful personality who never stops working but had time for a friendly greeting to one and all.  He husband, Waldmoor, is the chef and a very good one.  He butchers his own meat an does the cooking so you know it's always consistantly good.  He also makes different soups.....hot ones in the winter time and cold ones in the summer.  My favorite soup is the beet soup which is superb.  My wife won't try it because it's pink.  If you can get past the color, you're in for a taste of heaven.  Wife declares all his other soups outstanding.  Her favorite is sauerkraut soup and pickle soup.  She says they have no equal.\nA taste of Europe is a good restaurant serving good food served and made by good people
