The portions are generous without being overwhelming, which makes it even more enjoyable. We also love the almond chicken and the lo-main noodles -- both are always delicious and consistently good. Another thing I really appreciate is that when we order to go, the food is always packaged well and never spills out of the containers. and I prefer the box instead of the back so that comes really handy. The restaurant is always clean and well put together, which makes the whole experience even better. Great food, great portions, and a welcoming place we definitely recommend! Great job guys... :)

I ordered broccoli beef and a mango green tea with boba. I ordered take out. The ambiance was nice…read morein the restaurant, clean and spacious. The restaurant was busy on Thursday night. The broccoli beef was $18 before tax. The takeout order came with a light broth egg, pea soup and rice. The egg pea soup was good, light and fragrant. The rice was somehow bland and old. The broccoli beef was disappointing in every way! As the name implies, the dish should have beef and broccoli only. This dish came with everything, mushrooms, carrots, onions, beef and broccoli. The seasoning was bland and watered down, from the extra veggies. The portion for $18 and less broccoli and beef was depressing. The bowl was the same size as my small hand. The mango green tea was fair. I wasn't asked about my sugar preference. The tea was sweet, but still good. The boba was chewy and slightly sweet, super happy it wasn't tasteless and firm. I wouldn't come back for broccoli beef. I might come back to try something else. The prices were high for the quality and portions.

It is very casual here, with massive outdoor eating space. Sort of like a friendly state fair vibe. Every employee I have met here has been super nice and friendly, no matter how crazy busy it gets. And the fact it is almost always crazy busy tells you how good the food is. I will note the prices are definitely high enough to prevent me being a "regular" here, but when I want good BBQ and don't have the time to do it myself, this is always the first place I want to go. Finally, the dessert case. Oh man, if you can't find something you really like here, you just aren't a happy person and cannot be pleased.

The three of us shared the BBQ Sliders, with brisket and their Outlaw Pickle Fries. One friend ordered their special Outlaw Chef Salad (it was huge), another ordered their Mother Clucker chicken sandwich, and I went with their 3 Meat Plate with turkey (x3). We had so much food and lots of leftovers, but we still all left with a cheesecake (or two).

We both liked the Chicken Penang. The Pad Se Ew seemed a bit little off. The service was great. During this time, I thought that the food prices were pretty high.

The ambiance was cozy and perfect for a chilly spring day. Our server was very friendly, but because there were a few tables and just one server, service was a bit slow. Once we ordered our food it arrived quickly, however. Last year, I ordered the Pad Prik King with beef, which my fiance tried and liked it so much that he insisted we come back during our next trip to Spokane. He ordered the same dish, however this year I opted for the Pad Prik King, but with tofu as I'm recently vegetarian. I've had amazing tofu and horrible tofu, so I didn't know what to expect. Thankfully their tofu was perfection! Crispy on the outside and full of the flavorful sauce from the dish. My fiance even liked it and he isn't a tofu fan. Both of our Pad Prik King were delicious, with an abundance of delish vegetables and an insanely flavorful sauce. We opted for a 4 spice level and while I easily could have went with a 5, my fiance felt it was on the higher end of spicy. My tolerance to spice is much higher than his, however. I'm still annoyed I have yet to come close to replicating this sauce at home lol! This spot is definitely one of my Spokane favorites and rivals the amazing Thai restaurants we have in Vegas, which says a lot.

Before going back to Idaho from running errands in Spokane, we stopped in for lunch. I wanted to try something different this time and ordered the half-size of the Caruso's Signature Salad and as described by the menu, it consists of: Dried Cranberries, Candied Walnuts, Parmesan, Tomatoes, Onion, Salad Greens, House-Made Croutons, House Vinegar & Oil Blend, Blue Cheese Dressing. I opted for the house of vinegar and oil and really enjoyed their blend. The salad was a delight and the candied walnuts were so scrumptious! The half-size portion was really filling too. My roomie ordered the half-size Meatball sub. I love how they hollow out some sourdough then stuff the meatballs, sauce, and cheese inside and afterwards close off the sub by using the inside bread they hollowed out to plug up and close the sub. Genius idea! My roomie says his meatball sub was really good, super oven hot, and pretty saucy tasty. He's big on cheese and wished it had a little more cheese. Overall, he said he'd get it again. For my birthday dessert freebie, I went with the raspberry cheesecake. It was a pretty big slice and had some height to it, not like the normal standard size you commonly see and it had a decent amount of crust ratio. Ambiance was quiet as it was after the lunch rush and before the dinner crowd. The male worker helping us was super cool and chill and even wished me a belated birthday, which was nice. I think next time, I'll try their pizza.

I'm glad I had the French bread. The sandwich was handed to me before I could even put my change away. I ordered the Rocky's Italian Stallion. It came with a crunchy dill pickle spear and some kettle style potato chips. The bread was soft &!fluffy with a slight chew on the crust. There was plenty of meat, pepper jack cheese, veggies, & a slightly chunky sweet spread that compliments the meats and cheese. Now I want to go back for another sandwich even though I live over an hour away. It would be worth the drive.

The chicken was sparse and looked like frozen grilled chicken that was heated, maybe three pieces. The menu said there was carrots, celery, artichoke (one piece) and other veggies, also very sparse. The Sea Food Fettuccine had very small clams and salad type shrimp very sparse. Both entrees sauces were very tasty. The salad was great, bread was ok. The butter was very good and had rosemary in it (delicious). The menu stated to ask the waitress for dessert options, it was a celebration of our anniversary so we asked. She stated there were no desserts, but if there was one it would be chocolate lava cake or cheesecake. The dinner came with ice cream so we opted for Vanilla. To our surprise the ice cream did not come in a bowl scooped, but in a small plastic ice cream container with a spoon stuck in it. What a disappointment. $70.00 later and we were out of the restaurant. I wish we would have gone to the Olive Garden at least we would have known what we were getting for our $$. We did order one appetizer for $12.00. It felt like this business would not be in business too much longer I am sorry, but I would rather cook at home then spend $80.00 (including the tip) here.

The ambiance is very tacky to say the least. There are these tacky fake vines hanging from a very white painted fake gazebo look. It feels like a cheap patio setting. If they cleaned up the atmosphere and brought in a warmer setting it may feel more like a nice Italian restaurant. The food was ok. We've gone several times now with friends and no one had positive reviews on what they ordered. It was ok is all was said. Clean up the atmosphere, it's time. That indoor gazebo look is horribly outdated.
