Re: “Fuku Sushi”
The sushi here is good, BUT the past three times I have gone (over the course of 1+ year), has been the worst I've experienced.
Re: “Chicago Bar”
I don't mean to be rude but we saw Shell Shock and found them to be rather boring. We left after the first set. It was a long drive for us to be let down. By the way, we love classic rock when it's done well. Sorry.
Re: “Fox and Hound Smokehouse and Tavern”
Too loud, very average food. Nice selection of beers though.
Re: “Boston's The Gourmet Pizza Restaurant and Sports Bar”
No very good at all. That's what our party of five ended up saying after eating dinner here. I highly doubt any of us will come back as the food isn't happening here.
Re: “Boston's The Gourmet Pizza Restaurant and Sports Bar”
I ate at this restaurant Saturday night with my son. We ate in the bar area. It had a great atmosphere. Lot's of big screen TVs. Good selection of beers on tap.
Service was pretty good except I had to track down the server when I wanted my check (I really hate that).
We ordered some wings for an appetizer. They were pretty good by western NY state standards. I ordered an individual sized veggie pizza and my son ordered a small "Chicken Da Vinci" pizza. The pizzas both "looked nice" and had fresh ingredients.
And now for my big beef with this place,... Both pizzas were UNDER BAKED. The middles of the pizzas were lukewarm with the cheese only slightly melted. The cheese was not browned at all. The crusts were not browned at all. None of the ingredients had blended. It just tasted like the individual lukewarm ingredients. Also, the pizza crusts were prefabricated and bland
If they baked the pizzas a few extra minutes they would have a much better product. After all, the words "Gourmet Pizza" are in their name.
Would I go back? I'm on the fence. There wasn't one thing that stood out that would make me want to go back. Since I have to make a recommendation I have to say "No".
Re: “T.G.I. Friday's”
(reading the description) "Some chains do it right. " And this one isn't one of them. Not to say I have anything against TGI Fridays; there are sone that actually are good. Just not this particular branch. Portions are very small, service is slow, and the quality just wasn't that good. Pick a different TGI Fridays if you want something familiar. I will never eat here again.
Re: “El Charro Café on Oracle”
A disappointment. Major problem with portion control. The famous carne seca platter came with a 1/4 - 1/3 pound portion of beef not the 1/2 pound as listed on the menu and the sides have also shrunk. The pozole stew was too much broth.
Re: “The Skybox Restaurant and Sports Bar”
Was hoping for a better experience. The vide isn't happening here. The food isn't really worth the prices and the sound system is sorta low budget. Wish this place were better as there isn't much else around this area.
Re: “Old Father Inn”
Basically a dumpy redneck bar. Bad food, second rate entertainment and no good looking ladies.
Re: “Tucson Music Hall”
We purchased the 3rd price tier level of tickets for Spamalot ($42)and were shocked to find out how high the seats were up in the upper balcony. There were only 4 rows after us (making it the furthest from the stage) and we wondered WHY we bothered to purchase those tickets when the $27 were virtually the same. We found ourselves STRAINING to hear and understand the words. Acoustically, the upper level is HORRIBLE. The production was good but they do need to do something about the poor sound in the upper areas (or drastically lower their prices).
Re: “Chicago Bar”
Small bar with a tiny stage for bands. Owner books the same two bands over and over. Not enough good new talent. Same old same old. Not real bad or anything, however, a lot of burnt out smoker frequent this dive.
Re: “Antonio's”
Come and dance with Harry on Friday Nights. LOL Meet me and buy me a drink.

Re: “Famous Sam's E. Golf Links”
Its not thta Shell Shock is bad, they just have no soul. Very generic players. Good sound but you kinda get sick of them being in there every stinkin month. Bookin agent must be doing someone in the band...or all of em.
