Best pizza anywhere, Avoid on Friday nights, Great customer service

# Be conversational: Write it as if relaying your experience to a good friend.

# Be specific: Generalities like "lazy service" or "tasty pizza" leave people wanting m

HECTOR is an idiot

by jodyclarke

I'm not sure if he was just hungover or what, but Hector was clearly having a bad day. I LOVE ROAD HOUSE!

Absolutely Terrible! (Hector Verde)

by thesouthinyourmouth

First and foremost this was perhaps the worst brunch I have ever had to pay for. After a long evening the night before I was desperately needing scrumptious breakfast materials. I could not wait to order four different drinks and 6 plates of anything a la carte. Someone suggested the Roadhouse so we all went along with the program.

The Roadhouse gets half of the point I graciously gave them for allowing us to call ahead and get us on the list to get a table as soon as we walk in. The restaurant is basically an independent version of any variety of huge corporate eateries that litter exit off ramps on major interstates in suburban cities. The tables, chairs, decor, art, food, silverware, carpet, and even the annoyingly generic audio feed was an obvious pre-packaged abortion that Sysco kicked out of their 53' trailer as they were making their neighborhood deliveries.

I cannot believe I dared ordering the crab cakes hollandaise. Who do I think I am shoveling this "food" into my body, Anthony Zimmern? What is this food actually built with anyway? The english muffins were obviously stale - cardboard. The crab cakes were paper thin and terrible - cardboard. The home fries looked more like dehydrated peaches and had absolutely no seasoning and did not grow from our earth's soil - once again cardboard. Poached eggs - don't even ask.

The best part and where the other half of a point derives is the hollandaise sauce. They scraped that extra little bit by allowing me to leave their pectic yellow bacteria inseminated gelatinous goo in the petri dish in the bowels of the kitchen. Maybe I should give the whole point to myself for being the smartest person in the establishment by leaving off the hellandaise and not finishing my meal. Yep, think I will. Hector = 1. American Roadhouse = 0.

  • Pros: The exit door.

Great for Brunch!

by c_pitmon

My friend and I are always trying to find a new restaurant. We were both in the mood for Brunch so we searched on citysearch and this was highly recommended. The food was fabulous! My friend ordered the Shrimp and Crab omelette and I had some corned beef hash dish. There cheese grits and french toast are to die for. I think the prices here are very affordable and the portions you receive are modest. We will be going back to this location very soon!

  • Pros: food, price
  • Cons: waitress wasn't that attentive

Gary Tylock Ripoff Eye Care Center

I went to Dr.Gary R. Tylock, Tylock Eye Care and Laser Center Dallas Texas after hearing on of their advertisements. My experience there was very negative. I felt like I was being sold a used car by a heavy handed pressure salesman. They also lied about their prices. My vision was terrible after the procedure and was regressing even more with time but Dr.Gary R. Tylock, felt it was not enough to qualify for an enhancement

great breakfast food, but pricy

by atlbridetobe

I went with a large group (16 people) and they were able to seat us together. The waiter was great with large group orders, everyone's food came out at the same time. Fresh strawberries were very tasty. Large selection. Price was more than I expected. I parked a few blocks away, which wasn't bad on a beautiful day.

  • Pros: fresh fruits, large group friendly, great skilled staff
  • Cons: price, parking, small waiting area

Jerry Katzman MD - Signs and diagnosis of frozen shoulder

by md_jerry_katzman_md

Physicians have described the normal course of a frozen shoulder as having three stages:

Stage one: In the "freezing" or painful stage, which may last from six weeks to nine months, the patient has a slow onset of pain. As the pain worsens, the shoulder loses motion.

Stage two: The "frozen" or adhesive stage is marked by a slow improvement in pain, but the stiffness remains. This stage generally lasts four months to nine months.

Stage three: The "thawing" or recovery, during which shoulder motion slowly returns toward normal. This generally lasts five months to 26 months.

Great Food!

by iloveatl

My boyfriend and I go here almost every Sunday for Brunch. The food is Great and the service is also great. The only downside is that we have had to wait about 45 minutes every time we go. I normally would not wait that long, but it is completely worth it. The place is always packed and the staff is always friendly. Their biscuits and gravy are some of the best I have had! I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area!

  • Pros: Great food and service
  • Cons: Long wait for a table

A++ Food and Service

by cindycinn

I went with 2 friends for Sunday morning brunch. There was about a 15 minute wait, but what's 15 minutes when you're amongst friends?! :o) The food was definitely worth the wait. The portion sizes were huge. The food was tasty. And I specifically recommend trying the lemonade. I'll go back again and again!

  • Pros: Large Portions!
  • Cons: Wait time.
