    Philadelphia Cheesesteak Adventure
    James P.

    This is a corona virus happy story. Spare Rib Xxpress AKA The Spare Rib has food specials until social distancing ends. $5.50 for the cheesesteak, dollar extra for the mushrooms. This was a very good little cheesesteak. Very good toasted roll. The meat had a very nice steak taste. The cheese was good but needed a touch better melt. I love this Cheesesteak at $6.50. Nice young woman running the counter. Very good Cheesesteak experience.

    We had an opportunity to try this place out last week and ordered the Prime Brisket sandwich for…read more$9.00. When it arrived it only came with the sandwich, you have to order everything else separately. When I opened the container it looked nice, however, it looked like catchup was sitting on top. We took our first bite and were so disappointed. First the meat had good smoke but no seasoning. Also, the sandwich was cold. Im not talking room temp I'm talking cold and the sauce tasted like catchup that had vinager added to it, just not good. They didnt even take time to toast the bread so once they put it on top of the cold meat it was dry. Overal this place was a fail.

I decided to try Uncle Johns because another place that I wanted to get food from wasn't open. I had the brisket plate for take out so I can eat it for lunch on my break time at work. The brisket was pretty good, tender some and with the added bbq sauce gave it good flavor and enjoyable to eat. My side with the plate was the potato salad. Pretty good as well, very homemade and enjoyable as well. It also came with cornbread. Now the cornbread was absolutely amazing and probably one of the best I ever had. The sweetness of the cornbread was just right and perfect. For desert, I added the peach cobbler which was also delicious. Great service as well.

    This place was recommended on Eater. It's the first place we've gone to from an Eater that we were…read moredisappointed in. There is duck bowling, which means they're small balls and pins, but they're only four lanes, so if you don't make a reservation, you won't be able to bowl. The families that were playing were enjoying themselves. I would come here to bowl and have specific, easy-to-make drinks. We grabbed seats at the bar because the restaurant seemed full, and sports were on the TVs. The bar seats were comfy, with backs on them, and there was a bar to rest your foot. It took a minute to get service, as it seems the bartender is the only one for the whole place. Maybe they need another bartender when the bowling alley and restaurant are both complete. I had an espresso martini, which was too sweet for me. My husband had a mule and thought it was good. My second drink was a tall Titos vodka soda. The bartender informed us that the menu changes on Tuesday, so they have no more crab, which is what I wanted. I was going to order the crab dip and the seafood mac & cheese. We pivoted to fried green tomatoes that were a little too breaded and cooked for me, but the sauce was good. We did get the seafood mac & cheese, but it did not have much shrimp on it. The shells were overcooked and combined, so you had to separate them and cover them in sauce, or the bite didn't have enough flavor. Also, the cheese sauce was a little soupy.

    If you are looking for an activity with food and drinks, this is your place. This is the first time…read moreI bowled with duckpins (the pins are attached to a string and they are smaller). So the bowling balls are also smaller. There's just a glitch with the pins where once in a while they may get tangled in each other but the attendants fixes it promptly. The place has a nice size bar and restaurant along side the bowling area. You can also order/eat food and drinks while you bowl. This spot is perfect for everyone: family fun, girls hang out, date night, group activity. I definitely will recommend

    My gal pals and I try to get together for a Saturday lunch each month. None of us have ever been…read morehere so we thought we would give it a try. The interior has a dimly lit warehouse feel with predominantly vinyl booths. The first thing I noticed was much of the seating in most of the booths were worn and torn. I find this to be a turn off due to sanitary conditions being compromised. I found one Booth that had two separate vinyl chairs on one side that were not damaged. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. They explained the procedure to choose whether we wanted Hot Pot (soup) or the barbecue option. Each table has built in induction cooktop burners with a center shallow wok. We all chose Hot Pot. (Soup) The waitress takes our order for our soup base and then we choose the proteins and vegetables we want to add to the hot pot from a tablet. There are also choices of starches, like rice, noodles and dumplings. The soup base arrives first and you can adjust the temperature of your own personal cook top burner, then the accoutrements arrive. Most of the proteins are slightly frozen, and rolled neatly on their serving dishes. I particularly liked any of the dumplings. The meats were so thin that they can be easily overcooked. The vermicelli noodles were very good and cooked perfectly in the broth. Everything was fresh and the broth I chose had a good flavor and was not over salted. It's all you can eat so you can try another broth or get a refill on the same one. The same with the other ingredients. They do serve alcohol & dessert which are not included in the all you can eat price. Soft drinks are. They mentioned they had an appetizer bar that was included. It contained a small section with some cut up fruit. Then several containers of sauces that you can mix and match. Then there were some french fries and some type of breaded fish or chicken tenders. I didn't find it appetizing. I think better options and more of them should be added. I think this is the type of place, you need to experience once. Definitely good for a group of friends and those that want to try proteins that just aren't available anywhere. Personally, I just don't care to cook much anymore so when the waitress asked if there was anything else she could bring us, I said a chef. We all laughed.

    KPot was our "togo" place when we would go out for dinner. We recently moved from South Carolina…read moreand expected the chain to be the same. IT IS NOT! this Geoffrey drive location is HORRIBLE. The bar is FILTHY, the staff was more interested in "hanging out" with each other than providing service. The kitchen staff carried multiple plates open on arms without trays (food contacting dirty clothing) We had to walk up and get our water filled from the bar tender ourselves! They never offered to change the grill,which was so gummed up it was smoking, the ordering tablet didnt work for ordering and we finally had to get up, locate someone and ask for the bill. It was 3:30 on a Monday - plenty of staff in house, just not working. What a disappointing experience from our "favorite" spot. Guess nothing lasts forever, it's sad!
