Case: I was craving a milk shake and this is near my boyfriend's job so we went for lunch one day. The food was...meh. I would enjoy a burger from just about anywhere else more. The fries were not good...soggy, not crispy, and bland. The milk shake did not satisfy my craving. \n\nThe \""$5 Buck\"" lunch was a good price but the name was driving me crazy. If you say \""buck\"" then do you need the dollar sign? Seems like it reads \""Five dollar Buck\"" which...is redundant and doesn't make sense. But...that's not why the bad review. \n\nThere was a table of people behind us. They had a little girl with them, and I'm not good with kid ages but I would guess her to be 2 or 3 maybe? They kept walking back into the back of the kitchen with her...sometimes with a woman, sometimes a man. I assume they were the owners or something, right? None of them are dressed like they work there. They are wearing clothes that clearly don't meet health department specs...tank tops, hair hanging all over the place, open toed shoes, etc... They walked past customers in line, helped themselves to ice cream and stuff while customers had to wait to get their orders because these people were in the way. They didn't greet the customers. They didn't acknowledge the customers. That was bad enough, but then I go to the bathroom, and the little girl throws french fries over the booth into my purse. My boyfriend saw her doing it! After watching them walk around the place so rudely ignoring customers and cutting in front of them for service, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that their child would do something like that. \n\nThe only thing that gives this place the 2 stars I so generously gave was the other staff. They were suuuuuuper friendly and very helpful despite the owners getting in their way. Until the issues with the owners began, I kept thinking that even though the food was just...ok, I might start going here more often because the staff was so pleasant. Doubt I'll go back now just because I don't want to support those jerks.

Case: I have recently discovered that very yummy things come from tiny little buildings. The menu here at Sammy's L.A. Pastrami & Burgers offers a variety of options for such a small place. The outside is nothing pretty to look at but sometimes it is those places that surprise you. There is a small seating area near a walk up window if you want to enjoy your food outside. There are easy to read menus along the building of the drive-thru it is just hard deciding what to try from it. \n\nMy man had to try the \""L.A Style Pastrami\"". It was a BIG hit! It has pastrami, mustard and pickles on a sub style roll. They have 3 different sizes with the extra large being $12.99! I wouldn't recommend the extra large unless you plan to share with somebody or plan to have more then 1 meal out of it because he got the large at $9.69 and it was almost too much pastrami. Not that he complained or didn't finish every bite because he did! The guy at the window said the bad for you fried foods were all hand breaded and that they use fresh ingredients and I was craving something I could dip in ranch so I chose the \""Variety Platter\"" at $7.99. I picked battered zucchini slices, fried mushrooms and fried mozzarella sticks. The zucchini was the best part! It really wasn't greasy and had great flavor. The fried mushrooms were good but I can't say I would order them again. The mozzarella sticks were perfect. The batter tasted good and the cheese wasn't rubbery like most places it was really stringy and super good. The ranch was thick and creamy. I really like this place and will be back regularly. \n\nThere is plenty of options for burgers or chicken sandwiches. They also have a philly cheese steak that looks like it would be good. The menu says their shakes are made with \""thrifty\"" ice cream. The \""Garlic Romano Fries\"" are on my radar for next time.\n\nPlan to wait a while while your food is being made. It is being made fresh so it does take some time.

Case: One of my favorite spots.  Quality!  Cookies that rival Nancy B's...expensive but worth every penny.  Try the chicken/bacon/avocado sandwich.  It's 5 star worthy...comes with beet chips.  Love love the coffee bar here too.

Case: Bonanza bills itself as the \""World's Largest Gift Shop\"" and while I am a fan of \""World's Largest\"" attractions, Bonanza is not really worth a stop.  It is a giant collection of tchotchkes.  If you collect something, like silver spoons or thimbles, then this is your souvenir shop.  You'll probably find a few good gift items here, especially if you want gag gifts.  According to their website, Polly the Insulting Parrot is one of their best sellers.\n\nBonanza is bizarrely obsessed with security, including signs warning against stealing, video cameras, a security guard, stapling your bag of purchases closed, and checking your receipt when you leave.

Case: I ate here with some girlfriends after a night out, it was incredible. The dress code is anywhere from sweatpants to three piece suits and the regulars make it feel like home. \nKitchen sink omelet was delicious, apple glazed waffle special was DELISH, and the white gravy? Flavorful and delicious, cheap and a great breakfast spot.

Case: This is an absolute must! The food is good and so is the service. A hidden gem. I have tried various items and liked all of them. Try the French toast or for lunch the clam chowder.

Case: I routinely pass by this location to dine at Smashburger next door.  The service at this location is not up to par.  Their managers may listen to you but do not correct their staff's behavior.  I'd recommend going to neighboring businesses before giving your time and money to this Chipotle.

Case: I am dropping this from four stars to one because no matter how great the food, an incredibly RUDE (owner?) will make me walk  right on by next time.\n\nLet me elaborate...  I get my hair done 2 doors down and had been running non stop all day until about 3pn right before my appointment .   Blood sugar was getting low and I had to go for groceries after hair and had 5 minutes.   The food in back was sll to much to eat and too slow    I opted for bakery and selected a lemon tart which was also too much.   I only needed a couple bites of something to hold me over do I asked the blonde woman with shortish hide is she could cut it in quarters   '\""NO\"".  No explanation just no.   When I explained I was going to be sitting in a salon chair for a couple hours and only and cracked a joke about temptation of editing the whole thing if I could just take one piece and put the red away I was faced with a condescending \""maybe you should try some self control\""\n\nLet's forget for a minute this person sells Food and self control is the enemy of her business ...   She just insulted me because I like to eat and it shows.    Of course she had no way of knowing I've lost well over 100lbs Nd work like a dog to lose weight and have a very little treat now and then....   But really?  \n\nIt was one if those situations where the best response popped into my head after I left.\n\nIf I had it to do again I will say \"" you know, you are right\"".  And hit the door\n\nIn recounting this story to several other people who have visited this business the first question was \""what did she look like?\""   Follow by  \""oh that's the owner.   She!'s awful.    I don't go there any more\"" \n\nI definitely recommend practicing your own version of self control by going elsewhere \n\nRudeness should never be rewarded.   Let  this be the restaurant version of Darwin at work.\n\nGive me a shout out if you were treated like Maird too!

Classify the following: The worst hotel experience of my life.  After waiting over a half hour to speak to someone from management about my qualms with the property, I was met with hostility and asked to leave the hotel.  The manager, Guillaume Benezech (who claimed he owned the hotel) told my guest that he would not charge me for the breakfast if we would promptly leave the property.  We left immediately and then he continued to bill me for breakfast (a bill which employees took the liberty to fill out themselves).  It took me one week, three promised telephone calls from customer service that were never made, and my own initiating contact in order to be reimbursed for the fraudulent charging of the breakfast.  There has been no effort to compensate me for the humiliating experience I paid over 1,000 dollars to endure.  It is evident that with the departure of Horst Schulze that the Ritz-Carlton has lost its mystique.  A hotel corporation that once functioned like a work of art is now worse than a rundown movie theatre.
