Explore.
There’s more out there.
New places. New flavors. Different cultures. Strange ideas. Familiar places seen differently. Exploring can take us across the world or a few blocks from home. Either way, there always seems to be something else to discover.
Everything, everywhere
Genesis Of Columbia
Good experience buying a Genesis at the dealership. Horrible Service department. Scheduled an oil change on the app and nothing happened. Tried to call on 3 separate occasions and was on hold for long periods…
Bush’s Containers
Over the phone they were so nice. Enjoyed the conversation but they never did what they said. Kept having to call and nothing….. Why can’t people just do what they say they are going to…
Cube Tea Studio
Great Tea. A ton of different flavors. This place is just outside the oriental grocery store.
Figurehead
Nate Beavers is a seriously talented tattoo artist. He brought my lion tattoo to life! His work is super detailed and the eye color is perfect. Plus, he’s a cool guy, made me feel right…
Paradox Escape Rooms Denver
We did the music/band puzzle. Very creative puzzle. We had issues with 2 locks. One was broken and opened when tugged on. We didnt have the correct combo, so we kept trying other locks wasting…
IHOP
Hold on tight because this IHOP tale isn't your standard breakfast experience. We stepped inside, took one look, and decided it was time to make a speedy exit. Here's the scoop: There was a woman…
Denny’s Restaurant
Came for The Burger Den, stayed for the Denny’s. Literally. Google Maps somehow lists 3 restaurants at this location. Hint…there is only one. It’s Denny’s. Apparently Denny’s has started creating alter egos. No worries though.…
The Burger Den
Came for The Burger Den, stayed for the Denny’s. Literally. Google Maps somehow lists 3 restaurants at this location. Hint…there is only one. It’s Denny’s. Apparently Denny’s has started creating alter egos. No worries though.…
Waffle House
Nearly 20 years since my last visit to this Waffle House, I walked in on a Tuesday morning around 10am and the place was packed. Clearly, I am the one who has been doing breakfast…
Sunrise Family Restaurant
Incredible. And I mean an *incredible* chile relleno omelette. The kind of breakfast that makes every regular omelette you’ve eaten feel like it lacked ambition. The giant satellite dish out front, complete with bacon and…
Route 66 Travel Center
Sometimes a road trip review isn’t about the food, the ambiance, or the service. Sometimes you just need a safe place to answer nature’s increasingly urgent call. Route 66 Travel Center delivered. Our panel conducted…
Blue Hound Kitchen & Cocktails
We ate here twice during our stay at the Kimpton. Once is trying a restaurant. Twice while traveling means Blue Hound earned it. Blue Hound is tucked away on the second floor, accessible from the…
Eden Rooftop Bar
Located on the 3rd floor of the Kimpton Hotel Palomar, right next to the pool, sits Eden Rooftop Bar. With walls of greenery, twinkle lights, ridiculously comfortable seating, and cocktails, it’s basically the Garden of…
Kimpton Hotel Palomar Phoenix
I’ve stayed in so many hotels that they eventually start to blur together. Two stars, five stars, somewhere in between. Kimpton Hotel Palomar stands out. The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and…
Maple & Ash
We originally chose Maple & Ash because Maple and Ash are the names of our dogs. This is normally not how I select fine dining establishments, but apparently it should be. This may genuinely be…
Topside by NDMK
Fresh off the boat from Newport Beach, we discovered that getting breakfast in Avalon is apparently a competitive sport. Every place had a crowd, a wait, or both. Then we stumbled upon Topside via a…
Catalina Photo Booth
The photo strip from this booth turned out great, and it’s a fun little souvenir when you’re visiting Catalina. Everyone loves an old school photo booth… until it starts acting like it’s collecting donations. Be…
Old Ben Park
Every town needs a legend, and Avalon apparently chose this sea lion. Rumor has it that rubbing its nose brings good luck. Judging by how polished it is compared to the rest of the statue,…
Talkin’ Tacos Concord
Talking Tacos should rename itself Waiting Tacos. It was so hot inside I thought the salsa was cooking itself. The chips were stale, the food was average, and the counter service moved at the speed…
Santorini Photographer / Gesti Photography
Gesti and his assistant Stella were absolutely amazing! My daughter’s flying dress photos turned out stunning — better than I could have imagined. They made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We easily moved through…
Q Burger House Athens
As an American, I wasn’t expecting to find one of the best burgers I’ve had in Europe tucked away in Athens. Absolutely incredible. The beef was flavorful, the toppings were fresh, and you could tell…
Miya Moon
Miya Moon is a great local spot with friendly service, reasonable prices, and good food. The peanut curry was excellent, and the rice was perfectly sticky…in the way sticky rice is supposed to be, not…
Akinz
A locally made clothing company in Fort Collins? Actual creativity? Beanies being made right in the store? Yes, please. Akinz feels like the kind of place every town wishes it had but usually replaces with…
Marcella’s Italian Restaurant
Really enjoyed my meal at Marcella’s. Excellent quality and service. Will be back.
Queen Charlotte Walks in Her Garden Statue
Blink and you might miss it, but once you notice her, it sticks. The Queen Charlotte statue is a life-size reminder that the “Queen City” isn’t just a nickname someone made up in a branding…
CLT Find
Small space, big “I need something Charlotte-y before I leave” energy. CLT Find sits inside 7th Street Public Market and does exactly what you want a souvenir shop to do. It’s not huge, and yeah,…
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store
Cracker Barrel is famously predictable, and that’s exactly the point. If you’ve been to one, you’ve been to them all. What actually separates them is the staff, and tonight that difference showed up in the…
John’s Garage Doors
John is the real deal. It’s getting harder to find a truly local garage door company these days. When my 16yo used the car to part the panels of the garage door in a way…
TownePlace Suites by Marriott Las Vegas Stadium District
Overall, this is a fine hotel, but the value is where things get a little… Vegas; premium payment, high expectations, delivers a bit more…average. The room was spacious and mostly clean, though a few details…
William J. Martin, III, MD
Had my first appointment with Dr. William J. Martin, III this week and was honestly impressed. He spent a full 45 minutes with me going through my health history and future goals—something you don’t see…
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Amarillo
This hotel is a fantastic stay. Central location, clean, and genuinely welcoming. Every staff member I interacted with was incredibly kind. Lisa in particular stood out. One of the most encouraging conversations I’ve had in…
Cattlemen’s Steak House
High expectations walked in with us. They walked out about 20 minutes later. We showed up for lunch with a party of 6 for this internationally famous restaurant (whatever that means). The place was maybe…
Terry Black’s Barbecue
With 12,000+ reviews and a 4.7 rating (as of March 2026), Terry Black’s sets expectations high. I had to see what all the smoke was about. You walk in to a line and a clear…
Sierra Grande Restaurant
Sierra Grande earned a 5 star the old-fashioned way, with a genuine throwback to what seems like another era with good food and amazing prices. Tucked inside a mini-Sinclair Gas Station/Stop on the drive from…
Black Rock Coffee Bar
First visit to this new Highlands Ranch location and it delivered. Midday on a Monday meant a relaxed vibe, but the staff was still attentive and dialed in. I ordered a standard latte and it…
Bastien’s Restaurant
If the angel of death gave me one last meal, I’d ask for the sugar rubbed strip from Bastien’s. It is sweet, savory, seared perfection. Like steak didn’t just get invited to prom, it was…
Venalonzo’s Tacos – Lone Tree
This place needs to be in regular rotation. The food is so good it deserves at least a polite knock on Michelin’s door. The digital menu boldly claimed the quesabirria tacos were award winning, so…
La Loma
First time trying La Loma after hearing steady praise from just about everyone. The atmosphere absolutely delivers. It’s beautifully designed, warm without being overdone, and even when it’s busy the seating still feels comfortable. The…
Little Mama’s Italian
This was my second visit to Little Mama’s. My first visit was a full 5 stars, which is why I came back specifically for the Mama’s Chicken Sandwich. I loved it so much I was…
Sunshine liquors
The best liquor store in the area! Great selection and prices. I frequently find allocated bottles at prices much lower than the other stores.
Art Expo Custom Framing/Gallery
Wonderful shop. Very interesting things. Great stop. I recommend you take a look.
Genesis of Charlotte
Great experience with Helio our salesman. He made sure to gather all the information in advance so we didn't have to be at the dealership all day. I love it when you can buy a…
Board & Brew – Oceanside
First time visiting one of the many Boards and Brews locations, and I get the hype now. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the food hit the spot. The skate theme is legit…tiles made…
The Cracked Egg
This place knows how to make breakfast. Let’s start with the menus. They are enormous — possibly the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Four people could not open them at the same table without violating…
Mel’s Diner
A flashback to when diners were diners. Let us all agree to Make Diners Great Again. From the outside, Mel’s looks permanently closed, like a set piece from a post-apocalyptic brunch movie, but step inside…
Trompeau Bakery + Cafe
We tried Trompeau Bakery + Café for the first time on a warm Sunday late morning in November and grabbed a seat on the patio with our pup. There was live music, unexpected and perfectly…
Hotel Villa Victoria Pirámides
The town isn't really a nice place to stay. The hotel was way overpriced for what you get. We got a 4 bedroom and have breakfast for 4 on the rooftop that they charged us…
Mexicanazo Restaurante
Food was good but I think one of us may have got sick from it.
Caliza Roma Residences by Tasman
Caliza Roma Residences by Tasman is the kind of place that makes you feel like you scored a luxury deal on a budget. The rooms are spacious, modern, and perfect if you need two or…
Casa Obsidiana
Too expensive. So many better local options to buy from real people.
Inbursa
Good ATM option in the area. Safe and clean bank.
7-Eleven
Clean and open when everything is closed. Stopped here every morning for coffee as the real coffee shop didn't open early enough. Grateful to have it.
Frutos Prohibidos – ROMA
A good option if you need something quick. There are so many good restaurant options in the area that have great food though. If you have time…find something better.
El Liquor Store
Horrible prices. Not worth the stop
Arena México
Arena México is pure chaos in the best possible way—part circus, part soap opera, all spectacle. Lucha Libre here is loud, ridiculous, and absolutely worth every peso. The food looks a little sketchy (you’ve been…
Nomad Studio
Nomad Studio in CDMX is easily the best tattoo shop I’ve ever been to—period. I spent three straight days there getting six tattoos from five different artists, and every single one was next-level. The studio…
Huasca Primer Pueblo Magico De Mexico Sitio Oficial
Huasca de Ocampo, the Primer Pueblo Mágico de México, is as charming as it is delightfully weird. The town is filled with cobblestone streets, colorful buildings, and a surprising number of goblins—yes, the locals proudly…
Hotel La Casa Azul y Restaurante
Hotel La Casa Azul y Restaurante is one of those charming local finds that makes you feel instantly at home. The rooms are cozy, the staff treats you like family, and the on-site restaurant is…
Pastes el billar
Pastes El Billar is the kind of place that makes you wonder why you ever paid $15 for a sandwich back home. Tucked in the mining town of Real del Monte—the birthplace of Mexico’s famous…
Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla
The Basaltic Prisms of Santa María Regla are Mexico’s version of Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway and Iceland’s Svartifoss—but with a hacienda, history, and a side of enchiladas. Once part of a booming silver-mining region, the prisms…
Arqueria del Padre Tembleque
We stopped here on a whim and ended up staying longer than planned—because, honestly, who builds a 16th-century aqueduct this epic? The walk down is easy and peaceful, and the arches are massive enough to…
The Amsterdam Boutique Stays by Viadora
The Amsterdam is a great hotel. 5 Stars for sure. Fantastic Rooms. Bed was comfortable. The only downside was that the water didn't get as hot as I usually like it but it was okay…
We Fly | Mexico City Office
Great experience. Our pilot, Antonio Romero was very skilled. Felt safe the entire trip. Bucket list for sure!
Green Leaf Cafe @Mcleod Fitness Center
Hidden gem in Florence. That was outstanding! Fresh and delicious food delivered by friendly people. My new favorite lunch spot.
Wendi’s Donuts
These are the kinds of coffee shops we secretly wish every town had: locally owned, friendly staff, reliable, and actually delicious. Wendi’s opens early, which means I can slip in before sunrise, grab a seat,…
Jenny Lake Boat Landing
If you’ve ever dreamed of motorboating the Grand Tetons—and let’s be honest, who hasn’t—Jenny Lake Boating makes it happen with style, speed, and a healthy respect for safety regulations. These folks are serious about their…
Creekside Market
I came to Creekside Market in Jackson, WY for a quick lunch and left with what can only be described as a spiritual awakening. The sandwiches here are incredible. Fresh, hearty, and made with the…
Big Springs
Not that much to do here. Feed the trout and the seagulls for a couple of min then leave.
Thirsty Beaver Saloon
Hello, neighbor. Sometimes, when you’re walking through your neighborhood, you stumble upon a place that doesn’t look fancy… but oh, how it makes you feel. The Thirsty Beaver is one of those places. It’s a…
Funburger
I came here to try Fun Burger, but let me start by saying… it’s right next to the greatest Chick-fil-A in the entire known universe. I mean, how does anyone compete with that spicy sandwich…
Safeway
I’m 44, but after spending an hour in this Safeway, I feel like I aged into a reverse retirement community. This isn’t just a grocery store—this is Club Silver Fox. Every aisle is a social…
Bang Bang Burgers
I used to be a vegetarian. I believed in plants. I respected tofu. I once cried during a documentary called Cow Hugger 3: Moo-ve Over, Meat. Then I walked into Bang Bang Burgers. One bite…
Ovens Auditorium
Look, I hate being hot. I bring my own thermometer to movie theaters. So when I saw my ticket said Ovens Auditorium, I was already sweating just from the name. I pictured molten chairs, sweaty…
Charlotte Motor Speedway
I came for the car show, but I stayed because my soul needed it. This place is like NASCAR Heaven mixed with a county fair and sprinkled with the sweet scent of burnt rubber and…
Topgolf Charlotte – Southwest
I always thought golf was for dandys and guys named Preston—but dang, Topgolf turned me into a believer. My buddy told me that if you hit the dude driving the cart that picks up the…
El Puro Cuban Restaurant
Listen… I got a spray tan for this. I figured if I was gonna blend in with the beautiful Cuban crowd at El Puro, I needed at least a light bronzing. But who was I…
The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery & Biergarten
As a man who is approximately 40% German according to 23andMe (and 100% proud of it), stepping into The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery & Biergarten felt like coming home to a place I’ve never actually been—but…
Viktualienmarkt Beergarden
Right in the heart of the city, Viktualienmarkt Biergarten is about as central as it gets—surrounded by the bustling market and a steady stream of tourists snapping photos of pretzels. They rotate one of the…
Augustiner Biergarten am Olympiasee
After an unforgettable Lumineers concert at Olympic Hall, all we wanted was a cold beer under the stars. We wandered over to Augustiner Biergarten am Olympiasee—great location, beautiful setup…. Closed. Before 11pm. We stood there,…
Zum Stiftl Stehausschank
Popped into Zum Stiftl Stehausschank and had a great time soaking up the local vibe—and being soaked in stares. We experienced what we now lovingly refer to as The Famous German Stare™—that intense, unblinking curiosity…
Lost Coffee
As a middle-aged man who needs coffee like oxygen and fears people, animals, and the color yellow, Lost Coffee is surprisingly safe. No one made me talk about my feelings or pet a dog. The…
Grand Velas Riviera Maya
So I give Grand Velas 3 stars because of the deficiencies in food quality and the ability to make dinner reservations. If you don’t plan ahead you will have limited options like us and be…
Karaoke Bar
They really need to change this from a Karaoke bar. It has turned into an extension of the kids club. Filled up with younger children who seem to be the only ones who want to…
Restaurante Chaká
Service was good. Food presentation is 5 star. Food quality and temperature is 2 star. My wife and I ordered the lobster and it was overcooked lukewarm warm and had a sauce that was very…
Magnify Church
Great Church
Jackpot Discount Store
If treasure hunting had a home, it would be Jackpot Discount Store! This place is like a pirate’s dream—except instead of gold doubloons, you’re finding unbeatable deals on everything from quirky knick-knacks to hidden gems…
Wobble HiFi
On a Friday afternoon, Wobble HiFi opens at 5pm sharp. We wobbled in at 4:58, which felt rebellious in a very punctual kind of way. The vibe is vinyl-forward: records spinning, staff grinning, and cocktails…
Mac’s Pack Centennial
Mac’s Pack in Centennial is doggy daycare done right. Drop-off felt like a spa day, and pick-up felt like retrieving a furry noodle—totally floppy, loose-limbed, and blissed out. The staff knows dogs, loves dogs, and…
4 Seasons Home Exterior Care Highlands Ranch
After reaching out to Jay at 4 Seasons Home Exterior Care, he promptly got back to me, and we scheduled an aeration, power rake, seed, and fertilizer bundle. Communication was smooth, the price was fair,…
Chase Bank
As of February 2025, this branch has a 2.6-star rating—honestly, that feels generous. As a Chase customer since 1998, I’m thoroughly disappointed. Tried to open an account here with a family member and was told…
Starbucks Coffee Company
I really wish there were a different coffee shop or café in this location. I stop here a few times a year while waiting for my vehicle at Discount Tire across the parking lot, and…
Buddy Veggy Restaurant Cafè
Hey buddy.
Arapahoe at Village Center Station LRT Nb
Best place to catch the ATA bus line directly to DIA. At night it can be a little sketchy but I’ve never been truly in danger. Ive used this station at least 100 times over…
Snooze, an A.M. Eatery
After a ten-ish year hiatus, I finally made a return to Snooze. Back then, the lines were so long we were closer to dinner than breakfast. It really put me off… #eog. Forgive, move on,…
Hobie
I’ve eaten here a few times. The food’s fine, the vibe’s fine, the service is friendly—but a little floaty. If I need to eat here again, that’s fine. I had a sandwich and an iced…
Tattered Saddle – Gordon Creek Stables
A short drive from Fort Collins, tucked near the foothills, Tattered Saddle offers the kind of trail ride that settles your soul and slows your breath. It’s family-run and thoughtfully done—from the gentle horses to…
Campbell’s Tomato Soup Can (1981), Signed By Andy Warhol
Nothing says “you’ve made it” like a 10-foot can of soup with Andy Warhol’s signature and a nearby bench that might launch you into the bushes if you sit wrong. This can is signed by…
Inspiration Point
We set off toward Inspiration Point like early French fur trappers—if the trappers had purified water bottles, trail mix, and just enough cell signal to Google “is this much wheezing normal?” Fueled by nuts, questionable…
Norris Back Basin
If you’re ever trying to lay low from a few overzealous federal agents (who clearly have the wrong guy), Norris Geyser Basin is the place to be. Feels like you’re not even on Earth—more like…
Wonderland Cafe & Lodge
We recently ate at Wonderland Café & Lodge while visiting Gardiner. The food was good and the atmosphere pleasant, but our experience was soured by the handling of the tip. Our server never mentioned that…
Fort Collins Marriott
If you judged this hotel by some of its Google reviews, you’d expect shag carpet, grumpy staff, and a continental breakfast from 1986 (or lack thereof). But surprise: it’s actually great! We stayed over a…
Wells Fargo Bank
Service was fine. Atmosphere was… pointed. Felt like the building had something to say, and it wasn’t “welcome.” Is it mad at the world and is it just mad at me?
Mac’s Pack Englewood
How do you describe a place that feels like a second home for your dog? We had to leave town unexpectedly due to a family loss, and Mac’s Pack truly stepped up. Our 5-month-old puppy…
Rack Attack Golden
When my Yakima key snapped the evening before a big trip, I was in scramble mode. I called Rack Attack, and not only did they have the replacement, but they also stayed open just long…
Crown Burgers
Crown might not win any awards for curb appeal, but step inside and you’ll find a food-based tabernacle straight out of a bygone diner era—no overplanned modern frills, just pure heart. Booths over branding. Flavor…
Outback Steakhouse
Remember when people would wait two hours to eat at Outback? LOL…. The booth was worn out, the food was awful. I ordered a medium filet and got a chewy, rare cut of low-quality meat.…
The Donut
Rolling into The Donut at 10:30 a.m. on a Saturday felt like showing up to a party where the cake’s nearly gone—only six donuts remained, but each bite was a VIP experience. I’ll be back…
Smokin Yard’s BBQ
I’ve spent my life on a quest for truly great BBQ across the US—usually ending in disappointment, an emptier wallet, and a side of regret. Not this time! Our first visit to Smokin’ Yard’s was…
Safeway
I’ve shopped at this Safeway a few times, and it’s always a solid experience. Every visit feels like a trip to the fountain of youth—surrounded by shoppers twice my age, I half expect someone to…
Caddy Shack Cantina
Caddy Shack Cantina is a full-on experience. We went twice in four days. It’s relatively new, taking over a spot that sadly closed for unfortunate reasons—but let’s just say, this place is making the most…
Marienbrücke
Marienbrücke is hands-down the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. I’m talking full-on fairy tale, cover-of-a-puzzle-box level gorgeous. Pro tip: take the bus up, soak in that epic scenery, then walk down to the castle—trust me,…
Highline179
As a self-declared castle historian (Level 14), I’ve visited 63 European strongholds, four Renaissance fairs, and one regrettable LARP divorce. But nothing—NOTHING!!!—prepared me for the unfiltered majesty of Highline179. The second I saw that suspension…
Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm
This place owns a piece of my heart—and possibly my cholesterol. Biergarten am Chinesischen Turm is hands-down one of my favorite beer gardens in Munich. If you come early, there’s a solid parking lot nearby…
M43 Burger & diner
After a long stretch of fried pork and white sausage, this Southern boy was about ready to wave the white flag. Then we found M43 Burger Bus Schneider Uwe—right there near Neuschwanstein, sittin’ like a…
Alte Utting
Alte Utting is absolute madness in the best way possible. Imagine stumbling across a full-sized old boat stranded on an overpass, and instead of calling the authorities, everyone just turns it into the coolest bar…
Brauhaus am Kapuzinerplatz
Tucked away in the heart of Munich, Paulaner Bräuhaus felt less like a tourist trap and more like a hidden temple of Bavarian flavor. The atmosphere was authentic—no frills, just hearty food, smooth beer, and…
Southern Distilling Company
Man, I swung by Southern Distilling Company last Sunday, and let me tell ya — this place ain’t just makin’ whiskey, they’re out here runnin’ a five-star bourbon boot camp. I took the tour, learned…
Theresienwiese
We hit Theresienwiese for the first day of Spring Festival—parade was great, outfits were fantastic, spirits were high… until we tried getting into a beer tent. Three hours in line only to be told no…
Manning’s Steaks & Spirits
After eagerly watching the remodel during countless drive-bys, we were excited to finally visit Manning’s, now occupying the spot where Dirty Pit once stood. Other review images cover the decor, but here’s a tip: grab…
Cielo, Mar, y Tierra Boutique
If you’re in Playa del Carmen and thinking, “I want a souvenir that doesn’t scream ‘airport gift shop’”—this is your place. Cielo, Mar, y Tierra is hands down the best spot to pick up something…
SCOOTER RENTAL VESPA TULUM
Rented Vespas from Tulum Vespa Rental and Car with my 16-year-old daughter, and let me tell you—this was peak father-daughter bonding, Mexico edition. No license checks, no questions—just grab the keys and ride like a…
Churchill St. Restaurant
Locally owned and locally loved—Churchill St. hits all the right bells. The food’s a solid 4.5 (the chicken sandwich was cluckin’ good), the vibe’s a 4 the evening I went, but for community and heart,…
Lost Coffee
Stopped in recently to check out Lost Coffee after the previous spot, Festive Cup, sadly brewed its last batch. Festive Cup was a great place and will be missed. Lost Coffee is just as good—if…
Granny Scott’s Pie Shop
I love stumbling upon places like this; a locally owned shop baking homemade pies right inhouse. Seriously, this is how life should be. We made our first visit on Pi Day (March 14), and while…
Funburger
Rolled in on a quiet Monday evening, and I have to say…this place was suspiciously lacking in the fun department. No balloons, no clowns, not even an ironic air hockey table. Just ultra-mellllllow. If the…
Maria’s Mexican Restaurant
Simi Valley has no shortage of great Mexican restaurants, and Maria’s stands tall among the best. A true David among some well-known Goliaths. The service was impeccable during my first visit. I barely finished saying…
Jerry’s Coffee Shop
The gold standard of diners. You can’t force the organic greatness of a place this good. It just *is*. Places like Jerry’s are restaurants after my own heart. The simple breakfast—eggs, bacon, toast—hits better than…
Chef Burger 2
Tucked away at the quiet intersection of Tapo & Township, Chef Burger 2 feels like it’s been part of the neighborhood forever. No idea where Chef Burger 1 is, but I’ll take number 2 any…
The Home Depot
No matter where you are, Home Depot is reliably the same—and that’s a beautiful thing. Solid products (Milwaukee guy here) and decent prices and knowledgeable staff (you know the retired old guy that knows just…
Restaurant Sen Lin
The service is fantastic and the atmosphere is great. Felt like a high end restaurant until we got our entrees. The ribeye was more like cheap tough sirloin. Dinner took an extra 15 min as…
Baja Fresh
I’ve been eating at Baja Fresh for over 20 years, and their bean and cheese burrito has always been a favorite—big, flavorful, and wrapped in a tortilla that just hits right every time. Their salsa…
Smash Park Roseville
Came here for a work event in late January and left thoroughly impressed. The axe throwing has a futuristic twist with projected targets and automatic scoring (because math is hard). Cornhole? Plenty of it. Pickleball?…
Smashburger
Tucked between a Starbucks and a Chick-fil-A, this Smashburger in Terminal C is a solid airport burger stop. A double burger for under $11? In today’s economy, that’s practically a steal. The place could use…
Costa Vida Fresh Mexican Grill
Costa Vida never fails to deliver fresh and flavorful food, and this location is no exception. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Richfield! That said, our November 2024 visit came with a bit of…
Denny’s Restaurant
Stopped in on a bustling Thanksgiving morning for a classic breakfast, and it did not disappoint. The staff was friendly despite the holiday rush, and the food came out surprisingly fast. Prices were on par…
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Tustin Orange County
Stayed here for one night before Thanksgiving, and it was a solid experience overall. The hotel is clean, modern, and well-maintained. The area feels safe—just don’t wander too far north, where things get a bit…
Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites Richfield
Easily one the best hotel in Richfield. Clean, modern, and welcoming, with ridiculously comfortable beds and a well-rounded breakfast. The staff were genuinely friendly and the price was more than reasonable for how well-kept everything…
Arch of Titus
Impressive structure to celebrate the squashing of the Jewish rebellion against Rome. I heard they brought back 50,000 Jews then made some of them build the Arch. While waiting in line for security and ticket…
Colosseum
The Colosseum has been standing for nearly 2,000 years, so it probably doesn’t need my opinion but still, I give it 5-stars
Il gelato di Costanza
Oh, this gelato? It’s like a vacation in a vacation. You eat it, you’re not just strolling through Rome—you’re gliding. I’m telling you, if this place doesn’t work out, it’s society’s fault—not the gelato’s.
Tonnarello
Our first dinner in Rome while staying in the charming Trastevere neighborhood, and it couldn’t have been a better introduction to the city’s foodie-magic. We found Tonnarello thanks to Google Maps, and those high ratings…
Come ‘na Vorta Pasta e vino – Torre Argentina
Came here for drinks and a meal. The gnocchi was incredible. Best meat sauce ever. Be aware they don’t want to serve drinks only at dinner time. They recommend going next door if you aren’t…
BaGhetto Pastry Bistrot Kosher
Nestled in the heart of the Jewish Ghetto, BaGhetto Pastry Bistrot greeted us like the Promised Land on our first morning in Rome—a perfect Thursday to kick off our adventure. The clouds parted just in…
Legion Brewing West Morehead
Everything about this place was good. The service was solid, the beers flavorful, and the food was good. The indoor and outdoor seating was wonderful. We even caught a glimpse of some football on the…
Mt Bierstadt
First 14er and it was worth it. Some amazing views on the way up. I won’t repeat what countless others have said. If you want to do a memorable hike, Mt Bierstadt is where to…
My Spa Joy
Wow. The best massage I’ve ever had. Thanks Netta! Did a couples massage with my wife and she agrees (good job Tomica). This has to be the best place in Houston. Great location and service.…
Lona by Chef Richard Sandoval
Atmosphere is great. Food is bland and way overpriced for the quality. The lobster quesadillas were a big let down. Chips were stale. Bill for a family of 4 just under $200. Do yourself a…
McDonald’s
This is a good McDonald's location. I’ve been to some (typically in California) that are horrendous. Not this one! The staff is super nice and helpful, and the dining room is spotless. Occasionally, a homeless…
Greenwich Tavern
This place is really a great stop after visiting the Observatory. My phone died, so I wasn’t able to snap any photos, but the service was great and the food was delicious. They even let…
Great Clips
Very friendly and walk-ins available on a Saturday afternoon. Prices were good too.
Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers
If you like Cane’s, you won’t be disappointed. The last visit there were 2 people who were very welcoming, a younger guy and younger woman. Super nice and attentive. There two other woman, off shift,…
The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery & Biergarten
First-time visit, and I lucked out—it was Oktoberfest (better yet, it was Mecktoberfest!). Someone in our group who’s actually been to Oktoberfest in Germany said this place is the real deal—no need for a 9-hour…
Lone Tree Brewing Company
After a few years of saying, "We really need to try Lone Tree Brewing," we finally had a free afternoon and made it happen. We had a good experience. We ordered 2 brews. One was…
1897 Market
First visit was in June 2024, and unfortunately, the timing could have been better—they were super busy, and their kitchen was under construction, leaving only half the menu available. Our server, Anne (I think was…
Charlotte Douglas International Airport
As of late-2024, CLT is a solid airport experience. I’ve been to my fair share of airports, but for some reason, Charlotte always feels a bit overcrowded (sort of like Detroit but cleaner and safer!).…
JW Marriott Charlotte
It’s a JW—perfection is the baseline. From the moment you step in, you know you’re in good hands. Andrea R. at reception was wonderfully welcoming and friendly, while Nancy in the Executive Lounge was attentive…
Aloft by Marriott Charlotte Airport
The staff at Aloft were the highlight of my stay. From the happy & friendly reception to the WXYZ Lounge team and the shuttle driver, everyone was professional, helpful, and welcoming. Their service definitely lifted…
Pancheros Mexican Grill – Arden Hills

Old Southern BBQ – Arden Hills (694 & Lexington)
Old Southern BBQ is a solid spot for some tasty barbecue in the Roseville/Arden Hills/Shoreview area. I’ve been here three times now, and each visit has been consistently good. The staff is friendly and welcoming,…
Ricardo’s Place
Ricardo’s Place is a must-visit every time we’re in San Juan Capistrano. This family-run, local spot never disappoints with its generous portions, flavors, and service that hit the mark. One of my favorites is the…
Valero
I have no idea about this gas station but the car wash has the best signage outside. No one tells a Texan what to wear.
Super Food Plaza
This place is nothing like your typical department store with a grocery section in the US. If you’re thinking Walmart or Super Target, it’s way more unique and even fresher! Super Food Plaza offers an…
MindTrap Escape Room
Easily one of the best escape rooms in the country. We tackled the 40 Thieves room, and it was an absolute blast. The puzzles were well-designed and highly interactive, going far beyond the usual lock…
Aruba Floating Massage
This might sound dramatic, but this experience is an oasis of tranquility. From the moment we arrived, the masseuse and boat captain were extremely hospitable, making us feel relaxed and welcomed from the start. Getting…

A family-owned gem like this Hidden Cafe is a rare find these days, with multi-generations working together to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered a simple breakfast—eggs, potatoes, French toast, and coffee—and it…
Lucy’s Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant
As the sign says, it's a retired surfers bar & restaurant, and the vibe is perfect. Situated by the docks with a wonderful atmosphere, the open restaurant and bar are absolutely magnificent. One quirky question:…
Buc-ee’s
This is my 3rd Buc’ified experience, and let me tell you, no travel stop in the world brings me more joy. Walking in, you're greeted by a contagious buzz of excitement—people are genuinely happy to…
Surfer’s Outlet
Nearly every time we find ourselves in San Clemente, we can't resist stopping by. Surf clothing is usually pricy, but this place makes it way more affordable. They have all the major brands—Volcom, RVCA, Billabong,…
COVE
Their signs out front are always absolutely worth a trip. I don’t know much about the actual store but based on reviews it’s a must stop though.
The Dutch Pancakehouse
Every time we passed this place, the line outside screamed, 'You need to eat here!' So we made it a mission to visit at least once—and ended up going three times; flipping fantastic experiences (don’t…
CINNABON Airport kiosk
No matter where in the world I get a Cinnabon cinnamon roll, it’s absolutely amazing. The woman working could have used some help but she was courteous and helpful. She warmed the roll without asking…
The West Deck
At first glance, The West Deck looks like your typical sleepy beach joint. But step inside, and prepare for a flavor experience that’s anything but sleepy! Despite the chill, beachy atmosphere (no pretentious baubles here!),…
The Perfect Landing Restaurant
Without repeating all the great reviews already out there—just visit this place! It’s so good you’ll feel like you’re on vacation. To start… If you love plane-spotting, this is your runway to paradise. It's a…
Howdy Homemade Ice Cream
On a quest for locally-owned ice cream, we discovered Howdy on a Friday afternoon. Easy to find, with tempting outdoor seating (if only the weather was warmer!). Bottom line—this place is incredible. Every detail, from…
Benedict’s Restaurant
For years, Benedict’s was just a place we passed by, but stepping inside changed everything. The aroma of breakfast perfection hits you right away, setting the tone for our experience. The interior, surprisingly spacious, unfolds…
Church
As of early-2024, Authentic Life Church stands out with its vibrant energy and genuine connection, a rarity today. Leading the way is a pastor whose leadership seems to be deeply rooted in love. Their open…
Los Dos Potrillos Mexican Restaurant – Highlands Ranch
The buzz around Los Dos Potrillos (LDP) seems to be omnipresent. Mike Snell posted a simple question on Nextdoor (see the screenshot) that made me laugh and maybe sparked a bit of debate. True to…
Social Bar & Lounge
n our journey to try new experiences, we've encountered many 5-star spots, but Social Bar & Lounge is on another level. If possible, I'd gladly double that rating. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between…
KoBa • All You Can Eat Korean BBQ
Our first visit to Koba on a brisk Saturday evening in March 2024 left a lasting impression. The service was warm and attentive, and the food was simply outstanding. We opted for Combo B, a…
Baja Fresh
It had been a minute since my last Baja Fresh experience, with all the locations near me in Colorado having shut down. Today, though, was a treat. I went for my go-to, the bean and…
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers – Tower Pier

The Victoria, Paddington

In-N-Out Burger
In-N-Out, where do I even start? It's a solid 5-star experience every single time. The moment they opened up in Colorado, it was like a dream come true. Suddenly, the allure of livin California seemed…
Arapahoe Bowling Center
Just rolled in from Arapahoe Bowling, and let me tell you, it's a strike in every sense! Not only does it boast the best bowling prices in town, but they also serve up pitchers of…
Cencalli Taqueria in Littleton
Our trip to Cencalli's was an absolute delight. They had just set up shop where McKinners Pizza used to be. We savored nachos, chicken tacos, veggie tacos, and beef tacos. The veggie tacos were a…
Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium
Missouri’s football stadium offers a unique and intimate experience, akin to an exhilarating high school game. With only 200 seats, the atmosphere is always vibrant and full, enhancing the communal spirit. The performances of the…

JW Marriott Miami
At the JW Marriott Miami, one enters a realm where luxury meets an idiosyncratic charm. This isn’t your standard five-star hotel; it’s an avant-garde narrative in hospitality. Upon entering my room, I was greeted by…
Double Standard
When we rolled into St. Pancras around lunchtime, our lucky find was The Double Standard; just a stone's throw away from the station. We were seated quickly and placed our orders. The food was great,…
McDonald’s
No matter what anyone says, McDonalds brewed drip coffee is some of the best tasting and always a great price. As for service, almost all McDonald’s now lack a person at the front. If you…
Magnolia Family Dentistry
I can honestly say Magnolia Family Dentistry is the best dental office I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you’re treated like more than just a patient—you feel like an old friend.…
Los Portales Mexican Restaurant
On a chilly (-2°F) Saturday evening in January around 4:45 PM, we arrived, and seating was prompt due to the limited early crowd. The service was excellent, and the prices were just as expected. We…
Queen Victoria Memorial
In front of Buckingham Palace stands the Victoria Memorial, a stunning work of art that deserves a selfie or glamour shot. Before our Ritzvah, I didn't fully appreciate Queen Victoria's profound influence on London's architecture…
The Green Park
In the midst of the bustling crowds near Buckingham Palace, The Green Park emerges as a jewel just across the street. Despite the steady flow of people, the park retains an air of tranquility and…

Beautiful gate to get a photo! It's directly across from Buckingham Palace and allows you to enter the park.
Canada Gate kiosk
Our visit to Canada Gate Coffee Shop served as a convenient pit stop, perfect for grabbing a quick bite before embarking on a royal adventure to the Palace or enjoying a leisurely afternoon at the…
Donut Maker
At the Donut Maker, a locally owned establisment, I discovered a hidden gem in the donut universe. The woman working there was incredibly helpful, adding a personal touch to our visit in December 2023. Though…
Circle K
Rolling into the Circle K Car Wash off of Quebec, I expected a sparkling clean car, not a tale of woe. The friendly local team did their best, but the looming shadow of corporate negligence…
Alchile Mexican Grill
Great meal and service. Hit the spot. Good option next to i95. Food comes out fast
Mico Restaurant
Not a very good option. Slow service to no service. They are nice but need three times the staff. Don’t take tables you can’t serve….food was average…so many better places in Charlotte
Aduana y Migración SAT Delegación Melchor De Mencos Gt
Probably the worst border crossing on the planet. So dumb….Guatemala is the worst. They made us pay them $100 usd on the way back in to Belize….total corruption. Dirty little Guat behind the desk.
Pacz Tours
ATM tour…..Went last Tuesday. Our tour guide was named Oscar. We drove separate behind the van. He kept passing people on the road leaving us almost no room to keep up. Drove crazy. Then we…
Booze & Branches
Cool atmosphere under the trees. Really enjoyed the food…just prepare to be there a while. Not fast food. I would love to return at nights when the lights are on. Good option.
Erva’s Restaurant
Great Dinner! Coconut Shrimp meal was tasty. Shrimp were small but tasted really fresh and the sauce was outstanding. Would go back again. We all enjoyed ourselves.
Crave House of Flavour
Good option if you need AC. Most of the restaurants don’t have it. The food was good and service was good. No one else was there while we ate.
The Guava Limb Restaurant & Café
Great service and atmosphere. Nice courtyard style restaurant. Got the feeling that this was the celebration restaurant in town. We ordered pizza one night and really enjoyed it. Came back a day later and the…
The Babette Home Down Town San Ignacio
Best AirBNB in town. Great A/C and internet. Comfortable large rooms and beds. Living room couches could use a refresh and larger TV in living room but the stay was awesome! Walk down the street…
Sandy Toes Beach Bar & Grill
Great bar. Always has a nice breeze. Chicken wings were fantastic.
Hotel Colee, Atlanta Buckhead, Autograph Collection
Great room. Bed is comfortable..linens soft. Seem to be a little under staffed. Was given a room that hadn’t been cleaned twice….before getting a room that was prepared. All that said….I would still return. Bar…
Tecovas
Great store. Wide selection, great service! Tecovas have the best boots.
Marshall’s Frame & Collision
Terrible. I’ve used them years ago and they were fantastic. Definitely gone down hill. They are so aggressive and rude. Warning…go somewhere else. They will let your drivable car just sit there….makes no sense. Don’t…
Ocean Lab Brewing Co.
Inside a private club. The restaurant is free to enter though. The club is $80 per day. The view is awesome. Overlooks the pool and ocean. Sits 3 stories up so the water glows. The…
Las Pailas
Minimal effort to get down. Then you rock hop to get to two water slides. Nice swimming hole to the right with a rock to jump off. Beautiful spot. The people that own the house…
Vereda Angelito
Nice trail that ends at a river with rocks to sit on and a swimming hole. About 15-20 min down and then you hike back up. We brought kids and a grandma. It took some…
Carabalí Bar & Grill
Great atmosphere. Food was excellent. Slow service but friendly. Just prepare for a longer meal and you will be happy.
Bungalu Rest & Bar
Great food…service was a little off. Nice guy..just had too many tables. Would have ordered more drinks if they came out within 20 min. We had two things that just never came out.
(HydroVenture) New Adventure Water Sport Rental Inc.
Not worth it. You have a very limited range on where you can go. Back and forth in a straight line. We were bored after 15min. Young guy who works there is rude. Kept aggressively…
Ashley Store
Mike was very helpful in showing us exactly what we were looking for. Pleasure to do business with.
Coach TB Thomas Sports Center
Great facilities….terrible management. Ask someone a question and they have no idea. Tried calling multiple times but that doesn’t seem to work. My year Long membership is just a complete waste of money. Sad because…
Massanutten Resort
Not a good experience. Lots of misleading timeshare garbage the entire time you’re there. Everything is overpriced and low quality.
Cypress Adventure Outdoor Education Center
They are the best. Wonderful organization.
Altitude Eye Care at Park Meadows
Great practice with very up to date technology. Makes going for an exam super easy and quick.

After catching a Rockies game (they won!), we decided to make our way to Federales on a Friday night. By 9:15 PM, the place was already buzzing with more energy and excitement than any other…
Electric Car Rental
So much fun! Great way to see it all. I did both of the available drives. They were completely different and amazing. 4 hours with an eMobility car is perfect!
Van Gogh Museum
Get tickets online in advance. So many Van Gogh paintings. Great experience.
Atelier des Lumières
Expect to spend 45min-2hrs. If you like it on the colder side, take a left when you enter the exhibit room and there is a giant air vent. Really nice!
Golf Cart in Paris ©
Easy way to see all the main Paris sites. Affordable private tour. I wish we would have done an hour longer though.
Statue of Liberty
America!!!! I was so happy to see the true scale of the Statue of Liberty in Paris. It’s a petite version of the one they gave us. As it should be. USA!!!! Just a nice…
My Paris River
The best thing we did in Paris. So much better than one of those giant river cruises with 200 strangers. No fighting for the good seats. The ability to stop the boat for photos and…
LE GRAND BALLS | Cuisine méditerranéenne
Might be the best restaurant in Paris. Balls brings the fun to your mouth! Most of the restaurants in Paris are filled with overpriced raw food that’s served by pretentious waiters who pretend not to…
Kroger
Genius Behavioral Science! They say to never grocery shop when you’re hungry. Kroger takes that to heart. After using the dirty bathroom I had no problem staying in my budget and only buying the things…
Colonna’s Pizza & Pasta
Remember the days when your team used to celebrate the season at a classic pizza parlor? You know the type – a little arcade, good grub (plus beer on tap), and some seriously awesome staff.…

Prepare to be in awe! On this trip we ventured into the Louvre, and let me tell you, it's a spectacular blend of history and art, throwing a party like no other! Five stars? Absolutely,…

These boots weren’t made for walking, they were made for stalking… Which is what you’ll do! Nestled at the entrance of the North Star Mall, these colossal boots demand attention. They possess an undeniable aura,…
Gruene Hall
Situated just beyond San Antonio, lies a hidden treasure – Gruene Hall. Although this review pertains to the main hall, the charm of the entire town section cannot go unmentioned. As you step into Gruene,…
Boonzaaijer’s Dutch Bakery
Disregard Austin Powers' perspective on the Dutch – trust me, 'OMG' doesn't even come close to capturing the essence of this place. Boonzaaijer’s Dutch Bakery is like a spontaneous getaway to Europe right in your…
The Esquire Tavern
Step into the cocoon of charm that is The Esquire Tavern, where dim lighting and inviting ambience set the stage for an unforgettable bar experience. Nestled alongside the River Walk, even amid the blazing August…
Sip Society + Daiquiri Depot
They say venturing into the San Antonio area during August is a questionable choice. But I beg to differ, especially when a haven like The Daiquiri Depot awaits. A drive-thru daiquiri spot – a stroke…
Dolce Italian – Philadelphia
Nice people but under staffed. Waited a long time to get a coffee. Ordered Eggs Benedict….at least that’s what they called it. Check out the photo. I would recommend eating somewhere else if possible.
SpringHill Suites by Marriott St. Paul Arden Hills
Nestled in Arden Hills, the SpringHill Suites by Marriott is a breath of fresh air. This sparkling new establishment (less than 2 years old) is a real winner. The rooms? Spotless and oh-so-comfortable, they’re the…
Shore 96
Let's face it, there's something irresistibly charming about a great local dive bar. And Shore 96? It checks all the boxes – tasty food, an impressive selection of beers, and an atmosphere buzzing with beer…
Panino’s North Oaks
On a tranquil Wednesday evening, around 5:30, we found ourselves at the doorstep of, what appears to be a locally owned eatery, Panino’s. The ambiance was hushed and relaxed initially, but as the evening unfolded…
Nonos
Around 22:15 on a spontaneous Friday night last week, we found ourselves stepping into the world of Nonos. If you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and drop by. The service was top-notch, the…

Nord Restaurant – A Culinary Oasis in KEF Airport! In the midst of our travel hustle, we stumbled upon a gastronomic gem at KEF airport – Nord Restaurant. Who knew airport food could be this…
Tikal National Park
Excellent! Well worth the visit from Belize. Get a good private guide. There are some waiting at the gate if you want to save money. Buy your tickets online to save time and not have…

Pop’s Restaurant
The best place for Breakfast. They were super friendly. Made us feel like locals. Food was delicious and fresh. We really enjoyed it.
Cahal Pech Mayan Ruins
Really accessible to visit. You enter through the small museum then a short walk brings you to the complex. We were the only ones inside while we were there. Peaceful and impressive structures.
Hunab-Ku Adventours
One of the best things we did in Belize. Drive 4 hours on the ATV and swim in a waterfall. No one else will be there because it’s in the middle of a national park…
Gilly’s Landing
The best place to have a beer a sunset. The food is temporarily not available (looking for new cook). The owners are awesome. Great people. Loved hanging out there. Beer was the perfect temperature! So…
Twin Towns Low-lying Wooden Bridge
Cool bridge with people hanging out in the river below. Families bathing and washing clothes. Escaping the heat. Shallow water and good times.
Bamboo Fence Restaurant & Swing Bar
Another good option on Secret Beach. Lots of good options for seating in the water. Food was good. Drinks cold.
Blue Bayou
Great option at Secret Beach. I tried out most of the places. Blue Bayou had the best food. Service was quick and the bar area over the water was great. Good shade. Beautiful views.
The Truck Stop
By far the best place to go at night! A couple of different food truck options. Great drinks. Activities like trivia and games. A pool to swim in. So much to do. I went every…
Coco Cabana
These guys bring the energy. Just try driving by without stopping….it’s difficult. I dare you!
Glenn’s Wood Carving
Hand made….you can watch them working on new projects while you shop. Best Prices on the island. This is the best place to buy souvenirs!
Alaia Belize, Autograph Collection
Beautiful / Newly built / Luxury Hotel. The service was fantastic and the property is perfect. Would love to return one day. About a 45min drive in a golf cart to Secret Beach. The pool…
Di Bruwry
Best place in Belize City to grab a beer and lunch. Located right next to the airport.
Scratch Bakery Cafe
On this escapade, we found ourselves at a delightful nook in Laguna Hills, indulging in a trifecta of delight: a coffee as smooth as a jazz melody, a bagel embodying the very essence of freshness…
Charlie’s Sports Bar & Grill
This is a great place for bite to eat in Grand Lake. It was a cold and quiet night in March 2023 when we visited. The staff was warm and welcoming and the food hot…
Jumpstart Coffee and Tea
We visited Grand Lake in March 2023 and instantly loved visiting Jumpstart Coffee. The coffee is wonderful and so was the owner/staff. Every day we came in and were greeted with a smile and a…
TownePlace Suites by Marriott St. George
Overall this TownPlace Suites was a good stay. The front desk was helpful and kind and the breakfast was well made with a good selection. My room was clean and well put together when I…
Spilled Milk Ice Cream and Cereal Bar
I really like the idea of this place; mixing cereals and ice cream. Inside looks clean and is well designed. The staff was very nice and welcoming. In fact, the only complaints were the lack…
KUBA EN LA PLAYA
So good. Really enjoyed lunch today at KUBA en la playa. Everything I tried was perfect. Cool atmosphere inside. Also has some picnic tables outside to sit. One of the best options around!
The Lake House Kitchen & Tavern
Went to the Lake House for the first time today around 11:30AM on a beautiful Autumn day. The restaurant sits right over the water and has a spectacular view. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken…
The Lazy Greyhound
This place feels magical the moment you walk in. It’s the perfect place to have a drink and discuss theology with the likes of CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien. If that’s too deep, it’s an…
Atomic Cowboy home of Denver Biscuit Co & Fat Sully’s NY Pizza
After hearing a few raves, finally seeing it open in the old Steak n’ Shake, I tried the Denver Biscuit Company for myself. Honestly, I was pretty skeptical about the high reviews but after the…
Dolce Vita
Ironically, we haven’t found good Mexican food this far south in Mexico but that’s not a problem when there is Italian food like this. There are 2 amazing restaurants in Puerto Aventuras and this is…
Clark & Bourbon
Sat waiting for takeout for so long. The food was all cold so I’m guessing they just forgot about me and let me sit 30-45 min while they food hung out in a bag. Great…
The Westin St. Louis
Great staff….but not enough. They are so understaffed it’s a problem. Air Conditioning in rooms don’t really cool the rooms during the heat of the summer. I’ve stayed here in other seasons and it’s more…
Economy Museum at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Vaccine Required for everyone 12 and older to enter the museum. I’m vaccinated but my children aren’t. What a moronic rule!
Clementine’s Naughty & Nice Ice Cream
Delicious Flavors. Loved the peach sweet tea! So good. Nice little courtyard with tables.
Session Taco – Historic Soulard
Just okay. Wouldn’t come back. Good atmosphere but the food was blah. Too spicy for basic dishes.
Marriott Vacation Club, San Francisco
Great stay. Rooms are clean/comfortable/well designed! This is my 96th night this year at a Marriott hotel and this is by far one of the best! Staff went above and beyond to make us feel…
New England Lobster Market & Eatery
Fresh…Amazing food. Just show up, find an open table, scan the code and order. They bring to your table quick. It’s delicious fresh food. Enjoy!!!
Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection
Put a fresh coat of paint on a Motel 6. Air conditioner didn’t really work in the room. It had a nasty mildew smell. Sheets and bed were on par with a Fairfield not a…
Blackbeard’s Family Entertainment
Walked around and left. They were cash only today. Had cash and didn’t stay. Place is run down. Only a couple people playing games inside. Didn’t see anyone doing mini golf or the track. Place…
4 Rivers Smokehouse
Great food and friendly service. Such a refreshing change of pace from Orlando. Everything we ordered got devoured. The sides were all good. Really love the fried okra and bread pudding. Crazy good! When we…
SpringHill Suites by Marriott Orlando at SeaWorld
Not the best. Just a average hotel with average service..rooms.
The Bourne Stuntacular
Amazing show! Way better than I thought it would be. Cool off in the AC and be amazed by the set design. Crazy cool.
NBC Sports Grill & Brew
Enjoyed our lunch at the NBC grill. They have tables that have game tables under them. Shuffleboard, foosball, etc…good and service were good.
The Cowfish® Sushi Burger Bar
The food was good the service was below par. Like most of the giant restaurants around it, prepare yourself for slow service with automatic service/tips charged. There is no incentive to do good.
Pollo Tropical
Not a good area. Crack head sitting on the bench right outside the door. The girl who took our order seemed to be on whatever he was. The food was good and we didn’t get…
Café Tu Tu Tango
Excellent food. Order tons of small plates. Food comes out quick. Rare Orlando restaurant where the servers are nice and seem to enjoy their job. It does get loud in there. Beautiful art work for…
Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
Amazing design. Comfortable/smooth ride. By far the best ride in the park. Be prepared to wait 1-2 hrs. But it’s worth it.
Cafe 4
Smells like a high school lunchroom but the AC is cold and there were plenty of tables.
The Incredible Hulk Coaster
My favorite ride in the park. It’s smooth and you feel in control.
Poseidon’s Fury
Fun…but they need to upgrade the projectors. Looks really fake.
Skull Island: Reign of Kong
A little dated. Still fun if you don’t have to wait more than 30 mins.
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
Great ride. Loved the air conditioning while we wait in line. Was worth it just to cool off!
Bam Bam
So-so….not worth the money. Dumb iPad ordering system. Food was hit or miss.
Block & Vino
Quality meats and meals. They make dinner easy. Love that I can grab sides that just need to be heated up with the meat to grill. Perfect l!
Nick’s BBQ & Drive-In
Great food. Got take out for a high school soccer game. Everyone in the stands agreed that it smelled amazing. If you want hungry soccer fans to be jealous that you have bbq and they…
Radius Tours
Did the Beer tour. Wasn’t the best use of our time. Would recommend just doing the activities on your own.
Mert Buffet
Excellent food and service. Reasonable prices. Would definitely return
The Floribbean
Yummy food! Cute atmosphere / like I’m in the islands!
Charlotte Marriott City Center
Great location. Updated hotel. Clean…comfortable rooms. Professional staff. You also get one of the most central locations for Charlotte downtown. Easy walk anywhere. Great go to!
Genesis of Lake Norman
Poor customer service. They are slow to acknowledge your existence. Content to watch you wait for no reason. 6 people working but they are mostly talking to themselves. Will not be back.
Noah
Excellent Food! Really enjoy our meal. Service was excellent as well.
4 Rivers Smokehouse
4Rivers produces some delicious BBQ! I’m removing one star for an unfortunate 24hr bout of food poisoning. Monday, the week of thanksgiving I skipped breakfast in anticipation of getting an early BBQ lunch. I stopped…
Krazy Fish
Great food. Really enjoyed the swordfish tacos. Fresh and tasty. Can’t wait to return and try out something new.
Your Pie Pizza
Keto friendly pizza! Love this place. They also have some great craft beers available.
American Prohibition Museum
Enjoyed our visit to the Prohibition museum. Interesting to see the advertisements and history.
Ships Of The Sea Maritime Museum
Great Museum and gardens. Groupon deal ($4) entry. Lot’s of model ships to admire. Good for 45min-1hr.
JW Marriott Savannah Plant Riverside District
Amazing Hotel. Probably the coolest hotel lobby I’ve ever been in. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Restaurants were great as well. Really enjoyed dinner at the steakhouse.
The Alida, Savannah, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Warning….Don’t trust Valet. When they brought my car back someone had changed all of the settings. They turned the bass up to the highest setting and changed all of my mirrors. The room was comfortable…
Cachet Cleaners, LLC
After my other cleaners closed down after Covid, I tried cachet. The prices for your typical clean and press for shirts can’t be beat. Service is good too! Recommended.
Malqui Tattoo
This place is super clean/safe. Artists are awesome. So glad we were able to get some work done. Great experience and I hope we can return one day and do another.
Raymi Draft Beer & Smokehouse
Excellent food. A very nice clean street with a famous art studio next door. This is a perfect stop if you are in the area.
Budweiser Brewery Experience
Clydesdale experience was great. Short walk over to the stable and you get to learn about the horse teams and meet one. Took about 45 -50 min. Good times.
Gateway Arch Riverboats
Not much to see. Outside of the Arch, there really isn’t anything to see. The banks of the river are not very attractive. We found ourselves excited to end the boat ride.
Pieces Board Game Bar And Restaurant
Great for families! Excellent Menu/ Service and entertainment. So many different options for games. We played a couple of different games with the kids. They made some suggestions to help get us started.
El Cid
Not very good. Overpriced and the food is questionable. Service was also bad. Focused on making sure they maximize your bill. The cheese dip was disgusting. Just keep driving….
Oracle Park
Excellent location. Beautiful views! Would be so much better if it was a football stadium though. Can you imagine a fun sport like football being played in such a prime location? Not slow like baseball.…
Enterprise Rent-A-Car
Warning!!!! We swapped out our rental car that had been broken into yesterday and they gave us a car that they knew had a giant screw in the tire. When I returned it shortly after…
Dana Wharf Sportfishing & Whale Watching Dana Point
After growing up in this area, we had never gone whale watching. Little did I know that Dana Point is the whale watching and dolphin capital of the World! Whether or not this is self-proclaimed,…
Aventura Gelato
It is always a good when not only tourists eat at a restaurant but when locals flood the place every night. The flavors are authentic and taste natural at Aventura Gelato. The price is right…
Italian Bakery & Dely

Everything was good. Beer/food/service. Loved the grilled fish tacos. Might be the best I’ve ever had! If I lived in Fresno I would be here every week. Great menu. Grilled Artichokes, Humus, Pretzels…all excellent! I
The Crack Shack – Denver
Yum! Went here as a family on Father’s Day ‘22. As we walked into the hall, we were greeted by a giant chicken. Unfortunately you’re not allowed to climb it. Just past the mega-chick we…
Dunkin’
Coffee was great as usual but I’ve never been such a dirty DD before. Every table had trash on/around it. The floor was covered in filth. Tables were sticky with spilled drinks and frosting from…
Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil & Disney
Good show. More story line than others we have been to. A bit slow at times though. There is not a bad seat in the house. In fact, it’s better to sit in the back…
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando
Nice rooms. Wouldn’t stay here again though. The Hard Rock is closer to Universal. Easy walk. It’s annoying to wait for the boats in the heat. At night it might be a 2-3 boat turn…

The Edison
Great atmosphere and food. A little expensive but It’s Disney. Best meal we had in Orlando.

Great choice if you want to buy drugs in a parking lot. Seriously dirty place. Didn’t park one time without witnessing drug use in the parking lot. Rooms are dated and smell. Staff seems like…
Doc Sugrue’s Desert Kebab House
Really bad. Although they really captured that 3rd world feel. Felt like we were really eating Rat kebabs. Couldn’t tell the difference between the chicken and beef kabab. I think they were the same. Warning….don’t…
Donut Storr
Like manna from heaven, this is one of the best, locally owned, donut stores within 10 miles (at minimum!). I have been coming here for what seems like decades and it never disappoints. Prices are…

JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa
Below average for a JW. Service was underwhelming. Construction noise.

Wonderful place to stay. Very central. You can walk anywhere you need to go. Parking is around the corner in a gated lot. You have to get the front to call for someone to let…
Pinhouse
Very cool place to hang out. We went during the day to bowl a little. Wish they had some kind of food available but it was still fun.
Surly Brewing Co.
The beer is great and atmosphere is wonderful. It’s a bit pricey (a little over 8$ for a beer) but it’s a fun place to spend time with people. It’s even better when it’s warm…

From the black sand beaches, to the cave, to the little cafe with special cakes… definitely worth visiting. Moses recommends.

By far the best dental office we've been to in years. They are kind and welcoming. They've never done (or recommended) more work than was necessary.

I thoroughly enjoy my ride today. The views are great and my horse (Jonas) was fantastic. I didn’t receive much information before my appoint so I had to look up where I was going in…

My wife and I did the president's briefcase. We enjoyed it a lot. There were 2 times where the puzzle took unexpected turns. One was startling and the other required some unique 'hand-eye' coordination. We…

Super fun and creative. We did the amulet of time. We had 4 kids (10, 8, 6, 7months) and had a great experience. I love the way they gave clues when needed. No other places…
Farm House Restaurant at Breckenridge Brewery
Went here on a Sunday evening. There was a bit of a wait; 20-25 minutes. Not too bad. We killed time looking at the merchandise for sale. There is a small tasting bar while you…
Lair O’ the Bear Park
This is a great family hike. With the castle only a little more than a mile down one of the trails it peaked the interest of the kids the entire time. Much of the trail…

Like a panderia right out of Mexico. Love it here! Delicious and low cost. The woman who helped us was very friendly. If I lived in Brighton I'd visit way to often.

A great locally owned coffee shop. The dark chocolate mocha is probably one of the best I’ve ever had.
Hilton San Francisco Union Square
Low end hotel with a high end price
