The frozen meals are go good for me since I work from home and it takes the guess work out of clean eating.

I got a ribeye steak that's probably the best I've had in years. Everything was excellent...cocktails, appetizers, all top notch. Service was great as well, Elijah was our server. All to be expected from a top-notch place like this. We had a totally enjoyable experience!”

Pubs • $
“I love coming here and getting drinks. It's one of my favorite bars that I've been to and the food here is always pretty good.
I always sit at the bar and the bartenders are always really friendly and cool.
If you're new to the area I would recommend checking this place out.”
Chinese • $
“Not much an atmosphere, because it's not really a sit down restaurant, though. They have a couple of tables off to the side that it seems mustache.Children use.
However, if you were to describe the atmosphere in more artistic terms, I would give it a tilt of the hat to the design of most new york Downtown chinese shops with the pictures of everything, encircling the register and being able to see the back room where everybody's cooking for the most part.
So this is more of a new york style takeout chinese place.
As for the food, the egg Rolls were pretty tasty and a good size, Especially compared to the restaurant we tried last week.
I had their chinese lo mein and Roast pork fried rice combo. The rice was very average with the really. Teeny, tiny chunks of pork as is common amongst these kind of places.
The noodles were cooked fine and there was terrific wok hey. ( Wok hey is that smoky Delicious flavor you get from cooking in a high heat wok.)
The lady behind the counter.Super energetic and sweet.”

“The value is definitely here, huge amount of chicken given and upgrading to the noodles is cheap. The problem is the flavor was lacking, almost like there was no teriyaki flavoring put on the chicken or noodles. Good for a cheap quick mall meal but if it had some more flavor would easily be a 5.”

“I listened to the Harvey Milk discography on shuffle while I get ready for my date. “A small turn of human kindness”on cassette was played during the drive to pick up my Valentine. When she entered and occupied the passenger seat she hit eject and slipped “Courtesy and Good Will Towards Men” into the CD player. She skipped to track 3 (plastic eggs) after a surprise kiss on the cheek. she asked me how my day was going. She notices the bouquet of roses hiding in the back seat, as well as a vinyl repress of the Harvey Milk self titled album. A gift for later. We finally reach our destination. Arby’s on February 14th wasn’t packed to the brim with customers but we still chose to use the convenient drive thru. Two large orders of seasoned curly fries, two beef N cheddars, a medium Coke Zero and vanilla shake. The last note of “A good thing gone” was played and we pulled up to the window to pay. I asked for extra packets of Horsey sauce after they handed me my debt card back. We sat in the parking lot of Wal-Mart and devoured the items while I played the first couple of tracks from “Life the best game in town”. There were no napkins put into the bag, but it still was an eventful experience.”

“Do me a favor Sam's Club I noticed on everyone that had something negative to say they got the same response which I'm sure is just being generated. Used to be you had to be a member of Sam's Club to walk through the door. Now your Pharmacy your restaurant anybody can walk in. You have homeless people coming in stealing and then you have them following your customers your members who pay to come there out to their cars and asking for stuff and money. You need to fix this and go back to you have to be a member to walk through the door. It would fix your stealing problem and would make your customers feel safer. It's happened multiple times and I've watched that they only come up to women. maybe it's time you get a golf cart and you have somebody that patrols your parking lot but single women shopping who are actual members should not have to keep dealing with this and being stalked by the homeless that are all the way around your building camped out.”

“Aight, let me put you on real quick—Glasgow Deli in Dover is straight-up hittin’. Ain’t no way you roll up in there and leave hungry, ‘cause they stack them sammies high. I’m talkin’ Philly cheesesteaks so cheesy they be drippin’, breakfast sandwiches that’ll make you wanna slap yo’ mama (respectfully), and hoagies packed like they tryna set a world record. The people up in there? Mad friendly—like, they actually act like they want you there (which, let’s be real, is rare these days). You walk in, you get hit with that old-school vibe—album covers on the wall, smells of griddled goodness in the air, and a cashier that already know somebody in yo’ family. Prices? Fair as hell. Portions? Big enough to split, but you ain’t gon’ wanna. If you leave Glasgow Deli still hungry, that’s on you, ‘cause they did their part. 10/10, certified hood classic.”
