Member since July 17 2010 Katie Very Friendly If you are looking for a good doctor and a good office to go to I would call Dr. Woosley. Everyone who works there is extremely friendly. Dr. Woosley actually seems to care about the well being of his patients and does not just prescribe a medication and shove you out the door. He really takes the time to figure out what is going on with you and what would be the best treatment possible.

Member since July 17 2010 Katie Quick and Friendly Office I have been to a few dentists in the area and this is by far the best one around. I barely have a second to sit down when I walk in since they are so quick there. The dentist is extremely friendly and so is everyone who works there. My favorite part about this office is that they have televisions in each room, so while you get your teeth cleaned you can watch a show. Pretty cool!

Member since April 21 2010 Sara Big Portions for Small Price Ouzos dipping sauce is the best. You can't get it anywhere else. The pizzas and calzones are huge and pretty cheap. Also, the chef will make you whatever you want, even if it's not on the menu. They deliver to places where no one else will. It's a pretty great local pizza place. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the pizza is super greasy.

Member since April 21 2010 Sara Yum! This is the best Japanese steakhouse in town. You can sit around the hibachi grill or in one of the booths. The food is really cheap. We can get a plate with rice, vegetables, and meat for $8. I love the hibachi chicken with mushrooms! The staff is very friendly and professional. We miss this place a lot when we travel :)

Member since April 21 2010 Sara The Best Stromboli! This is our favorite Italian place. They have the best stromboli. You can pick your toppings from a huge variety. Authentic Italian food in a Family-style environment. It's so perfect for any outing really. We have gone there for dates, girls' night, or family dinner. The prices are excellent for lunch and pretty good for dinner too. We (2) can eat for about $20.
Choosing The Right Restaurant
Who doesn’t like to go out to eat? Restaurants give a consumer the opportunity to break away from the mundane routine of cooking meals at home. The right restaurant should not only excite you with the culinary prowess, but make you want to return. What makes restaurants the premier spots for consumers? Several factors should be included when choosing the right restaurant.
Ethnicity
Restaurants range from Ethiopian to American to Italian and every country in between. Every nation has its own specialties. Steer away from restaurants claiming to provide authentic cuisine. To truly be authentic, the chefs should have trained in this particular country or their lineage is traced to the country in question. If lineage is traceable, how long have the chefs been cooking in this particular style?
Also be aware of regional ethnic foods. For instance, American food is not the same across the board. Southern barbeque is prepared differently than eastern North Carolina barbeque. The difference is in the sauce.
Restaurant rating
A large percentage of restaurants have been rated. Either online or professional reviews are readily available. Be cautious of generic reviews on restaurants. With the vast information on the internet, someone doesn’t actually have to frequent a restaurant to actually write a review. Look for clues which will lead toward authenticity.
Verify sources as well. Call the restaurant and check if certain dishes are offered. Ask if the décor mentioned in the reviews are accurate. If not, the source is not authentic and shouldn’t be trusted.
Price
Depending on the type of cuisine and the location, a restaurants pricing will vary. If the consumer wants authentic ethnic food in a metropolitan city, chances are the price is going to be in the five star ranges. On the flip side, consumers wanting a value, restaurants which are franchises are more appropriate. Franchises tend to be along the same price structure across the board.
Word of mouth
How does a restaurant thrive? Restaurants generate business initially by word of mouth. If the consumer enjoys the food, they will tell their friends and family. The same is true if consumers have poor experiences in restaurants.
Restaurants are just like every other business. They are providing a service which in turn will generate sales. Choosing the right restaurant is critical to the consumer as well as the restaurant.
