Case: The BBQ Train Stops @ JIM 'N Nick's...\n\nI am not saying I know everything there is to know about BBQ, but I can say I have dined at dozens of BBQ places up and down the east coast, and in my humble opinion, Jim 'N Nick's can stack up to any of them - chain or not!  \n\nIt starts with that classic, smokey BBQ smell wafting through your nostrils the second you enter the spacious parking lot, and get out of your vehicle.  Upon entering and being seated, a friendly server came right over and took our drinks orders.  Feeling wild and crazy, I decided to go with the Arnold Palmer, instead of my standard sweet tea order when at BBQ restaurants.  I can say that my Palmer was perfect, and not rot-your-teeth-out sweet either.  \n\nAs for the food - I ordered the half rack of ribs (see pics) with baked beans and mac-n-cheese.  My gf ordered the veggie plate (which was pretty much  an entree with three sides) - she got fries, mac-n-cheese and collard greens (see pics).  After a short wait, we received our food, took our usual pictures for all you Yelpers out there, and dug right in!   My gf and I were both thoroughly impressed.  The ribs were superb - tender, moist, full of smokey flavor, and truly fall-off-the-bone!  There's nothing worse than a restaurant that advertises fall-off-the-bone ribs, and the ribs are stuck together like Siamese twins!  I can give the ribs my full endorsement.  \n\nDon't even get me started on the sides - the mac-n-cheese and baked beans.  They were both full of savory goodness, and tasted more like something your grandma would make over Thanksgiving than something served at a chain restaurant.  I mean, there are still many places out there serving up Kraft box, mac-n-cheese, and calling it \""homemade\"" - not Jim 'N Nicks.  The baked beans were as good as any I've had in recent memory.  They were seasoned with pulled pork and you could actually see the chunks of pulled pork in the bowl.\n\n\nEven though I might receive some negative feedback for this, I am gonna go ahead and put it out there anyway - Jim 'N Nicks is as good as any BBQ establishment in the Charlotte area.   Is it the best BBQ I've ever had? No, of course not, but its far from average, and way better than many of the locally owned \""legends\"" that sadly  populate the greater Charlotte area.  The next time I think of going to Mac's, I will probably pass, and go check out the new kid on the block -  Jim 'N Nick's!

Case: I visit Henry's for the hand shaved pan fried noodles every time I work in Phoenix.  The food is well worth the 20 minute drive from my hotel in Scottsdale!  Friendly service and consistently good food.

Case: High expectations, bad awful service, I sat down waitress came by took my order and that was the last I saw her. Didn't order a 5 course meal, just a burger . Come to find out my order was given to someone else..30 minutes later no food-unfortunate....what a total waste of my time!

Case: I ordered a large cheese for pick up at 2:30pm on a Saturday and was quoted 25 minutes but I'm almost positive they had to have given me a pizza that was already done for 'by the slice.' It was extremely stiff. Wouldn't go back, maybe I just got a bad pie.

Case: In terms of Canadian transit systems that I've ridden so far, this is definitely my favourite. The changeurs (ticket collectors) and drivers are much nicer than what I'm accustomed to in the GTA (they actually help).\n\nThe best thing though, is their OPUS card. I'd purchase one regardless of whether you're staying for a few days or a few weeks; it's a quick refill process in the fare machines, and it only costs $6. Best thing is, you can use it again for up to 4 years, so if you come back to Montreal again, no need to spend money on transfers and their Occasionelles! If you're not coming back, it's a nice souvenir, as not many transit systems here have magnetic cards anyway.\n\nIf I have one issue with the system, their Metro should be a bit more frequent off peak; I think 6-8 minutes is too long of a wait for a system its size. There were instances where I waited an unreasonable amount of time for a train, when I was expecting only about a 5 minute wait or so.

Case: This show was absolutely awful! We saw Chriss Angel the night before and was sure there wasn't a bigger D Bag in Vegas. Boy were we wrong! We bought the show tickets at a discount stand with the promise of an open bar. This meant well drinks and warm beer poured from a pitcher behind the bar. I have no idea where it came from. The tiny theatre was only half full. The hypnotist was Michael Johns. He complained the entire time that the show was only half full and that he was running late. Both were his problem, but we sure paid for it! Save your time and money! AWFUL!!!!

Case: As far as chains go, your best bet for poutine and burgers. This place makes a solid trad poutine, and has a much more sober take on stunt poutine (the pulled pork poutine is quite good). Their burgers and house dressings are delicious as well. Friendly staff, good ambiance, though a bit on the pricey side.

Case: 7 PM on a Saturday half empty bar and restaurant. Hillstone is packed. How could they screw up this location!! Bar staff with an attitude and weak menu that's how!!

I dunno what bean-counter took over this place, but seriously, dude, stop counting the beans.  And steak.  And pork.  The last three times I've been, I've had to remind the preparer that a quarter ounce of meat does not a taco make.  You know who is down the block?  Salsaritas.  At the moment they own your ass.   And my dollar
