Case: This an update since Buffalo has moved downtown.\nOverall I am a fan of this place. I love the eclectic mix of clothing I find here. I always see something interesting and out of the norm, which is a plus. If I wanted to shop for boring run of the mill stuff, Id go to Ross or Macy's. I do see a lot of \""young\"" brands, which is fine, but I do see obscure designers too. Its a hit and miss like any vintage/thrift store. \nThere are two views of this place. Shopping vs selling. If you are selling be prepared. Have eclectic stuff, designer or high quality trendy stuff. At the very least make it presentable. Clean and pressed clothes will do wonders. I find most of the buyers here are pretty cool. They have a tough job, no doubt.\nWhen it comes to buying, its a grab bag. I see some great stuff at way below retail, and I see stuff at full retail. The pricing is a little all over the place. If you know brands and retail pricing, you will know a good deal when you see it.\nOverall a fun place to shop and well worth a trip. The new location is nice, but dark. Standing in front of the mirrors, I was totally in the shadow as the over head light were behind me. Other than that, thumbs up.

Case: El stinko grande. There isn't a single thing I would recommend about this place. The \""BBQ\"" is lousy, the service is pathetic, and it just isn't worth the effort. The sides are passable, but not at the price. A McDonald's McRib sandwich is better BBQ that what this place puts out. Go anywhere else but here.

Case: Monday morning, 9am: I came to recycle a toner cartridge and buy a custom rubber stamp. The sales associate in printing standard reply was \""I don't know\"" to virtually all of my questions. No help at all - I gave up. I had to use the men's room and it had a filthy toilet, urinal that was near overflowed, broken faucet handle, paper towel and toilet paper rolls sitting on top of things instead of in the dispensers and a dead cockroach to top it off. I don't need to come back to this store. The manager needs to take a little pride!

Case: I love Downtown Las Vegas also known as the 9th island. I'm a Hawaii girl living in Los Angeles, so when I go to Vegas, I always stop at the Cal for a slice of home. The local style food at Market Street Cafe (they have bomb Butterfish) and the plate lunch style grinds at Aloha Specialties are ONO! \n\nIf you're not from Hawaii, you probably won't understand why a 30-something would want to hang at the Cal, the place is like a Hawaiian version of the movie Cocoon. But I love seeing the old Japanese and local people from Hawaii gambling with their wheel chairs and sometimes even oxygen tanks. They go! \n\nI've been staying at the Cal since small kid time, so its very nostalgic for me, lots of memories there. I love seeing the mixed faces and pidgin accents :) Also I've been brainwashed since childhood (they mail regulars a magazine with pictures of all the Hawaii winners) that I will win if play at a Sam Boyd hotel. Sure enough, I won 1000 quarters on Wheel of Fortune on my last visit, must be because I rubbed the shaka buddha's belly :) \n\nSee you in March 2014, yay :)

Case: Love it!! My boyfriend took me to dinner here for my birthday. Our reservation was at 7:30 pm so we got to enjoy the terrific 360 scenic view of Vegas during the day, sundown, and at night w/ all the bright lights. Also, watching people sky jump off the tower was amusing!\n\nI ordered the 5 course tasting menu and my bf ordered the rack of lamb and a bottle of wine. Portions were big and there was more than enough for the two of us. The lamb was cooked and seasoned well. The tasting menu I got included the following:\n\nLobster bisque - Lots of lobster, good texture, my bf liked it but I found it to be too salty.\nCrab cakes - This was yummy! Crispy and golden outside, and soft inside. The papaya salad added a nice balance.\nMiso black cod - Also yummy. Cooked well, not over seasoned, melts in your mouth.\nFilet w/ Red Wine Mushroom Sauce - Yum! No A1 here =P\nDessert Trio - banana something was my favorite, chocolate cake, and a raspberry mousse.\n\nService was excellent. Waitress was so sweet and attentive and the staff helps you find your way to the restroom ( a little confusing when you're rotating and had a couple drinks). Not at all disappointed, despite the $200+ bill. Great place for a special occasion, I definitely enjoyed it and will be back.

Case: Maybe we hit it on an off night?  We'd heard so many great things about Fran's... especially their veggie burger.  So, we finally decided to go give it a try.  \n\nI was totally thrown off when we walked in the place.  It was very nice... almost too nice... especially considering the name.  And likewise, the prices were very nice.  Much more than we expected for a \""filling station\"" but we'd talked about giving it a try for so long we decided to splurge.\n\nAfter viewing the menu, I was so intrigued by the blue corn meal crusted calamari, that I decided to skip out on the veggie burger, and ordered the calamari and the \""best fries in Charlotte\"".  The calamari was super super salty and sort of soggy.  Not very appetizing.  I tried to flake off the corn meal crust but it was stuck on, along with all the salt.  Between 2 of us we couldn't even finish them and they were just an appetizer size.  The fries were okay, but I wouldn't say \""the best\"".  \n\nThe best part of the veggie burger (which Ben still ordered as planned) was the special carrot relish/salad.  But the actual burger wasn't that great and fell apart with the slightest touch.\n\nOverall we were pretty disappointed and most likely won't be back to give it another go.

Case: Hoooo, boy.  Where do I begin?  Let me start by saying that, while not native Southerners, the boyfriend and I spent the last several years living in Memphis, one of the BBQ capitals of the nation.  They take BBQ VERY seriously in Memphis, and it is everywhere.  After years of living around the corner from some of the best BBQ in town, we have been absolutely appalled at what passes for BBQ up here, and Brickhouse was Exhibit A.\n\nLet me set the stage -- it was a hot Sunday afternoon, around 2pm.  Not a busy time; in fact, the beautiful, multi-floor restaurant was practically deserted.  Lured by the promise of a rooftop patio, we schlepped up the stairs, only to discover that, oddly enough, there were no umbrellas.  Those few brave patrons up there were baking in the sun, and not wishing to freeze in the air conditioning inside, we joined them...after I ran back downstairs, and up again, for sunscreen and a hat from the car.\n\nCraving something cold and alcoholic at this point, but not being a beer drinker, I asked our waitress to tell me about the whopping 2 hard ciders on the menu (1 apple, 1 pear).  She mumbled something about not really knowing anything about them and settled for bringing me tasting portions from the bar.  Ok, fine.  I settled on the pear, and we ordered food.\n\nOur fried duck wings eventually came out, and they were a disappointment.  If I hadn't known they were duck, I never would have guessed, and the overly sweet sauce they were served with didn't add anything.  And then.  And then.  Halfway through our appetizer, the waitress appeared with our entrees.  My pet peeve.  \n\nRather than send them back, and risk having them sit under a warming lamp in the kitchen, we made room on the table and dug in.  My pulled pork was not spectacular, and I didn't like any of the 3 sauces on the table -- all of them seemed to have a great deal of black pepper in them, and were somehow not quite an appealing consistency.  The boyfriend's ribs were a major disappointment, clearly having been braised or otherwise cooked without benefit of a smoker, which is the whole point of BBQ (he actually commented on entering the restaurant that he didn't smell their smoker, which is a bad sign -- no smoker means no true BBQ).  \n\nHis green beans, described as spicy, were not at all, and the final straw for me was discovering that my mac 'n cheese was cold.  Cold enough that I suspected that it had been the first thing put on the plate waaaay downstairs in the kitchen, waited for the rest of my food, and, by the time it made it up several flights to me, had died a sad, quiet death.  When I pointed this out to the waitress she brought me a fresh portion (which was actually hot), but may I remind you that the restaurant was practically empty?  And who serves cold mac 'n cheese??\n\nAt this point, having been roasting in the sun for an hour and been served a poor excuse for BBQ, we paid the $60 bill and left.  Asked on the way out how it was, I commented on the lack of umbrellas on the patio and was given a lame excuse about how they were replacing the worn-out ones.  Uh, could you keep the old ones til the new ones came?  So your patrons don't die out there?\n\nSo if this is \""the best BBQ in Madison,\"" that is a very sad statement.  If you don't know what BBQ is, you might like Brickhouse, but please, stay away.  Far away.
