Jack in The Box

Advantages: Good, cheap food, made to order, wide variety.
Disadvantages: None

Jack in the Box is a ncie fast food alternative to McDonalds or Burger King etc. The menu is pretty classic, burgers, salads, chicken etc but the best item by far are their curly fries, they have an amazing seasoning and are crunchy without being overcooked, definitely a must buy. They also do some ncie Mexican food, tacos, burritos etc, some items being only 99c Jack in the Box's catch phrase is we don't make it until you order it so they can ensure ...
...television ad's are quite ingenious, Jack is a man with a big round head and he makes the decisions about all the food in quite a funny way. You can also purchase a Jack head for you car areial and will see them on quite a lot of cars. Also at various times during the year they run a bobble head promotion, but a super value meal and get a bobble head figure. In past years these have included Los Angeles Lakers etc which are fun to collect. All in ...

Review of Jack In the Box

Burger King

Advantages: Good if in a rush
Disadvantages: Back of House secrets

...as much as I like Burger King food, I also know the secrets as I used to work for Burger King and theirs so much you really dont know unless you've worked their. dont get me wrong Burger King food is nice, but if you know how to determine if your food is fresh, or not then theirs no problem i'll eleabarate first on how the Burgers are prepared: BURGERS: So the average burger goes through the broiler/grill, of course their currentely going through ...
...next time you got to Burger King check ya wrapper round the burger, its got a little clock, well numbers that resemble a clock, now any prepared products such as Burgers chicken or whatever it is, will display these numbers, now any food within this chute can only be kept their for ten minutes, then it should be discarded as waste, I meanif that was a burger it could have been kept in the steamer for ten mins then prepared and put in the chute. ...

Chilis Bar and Grill Hatfield

Advantages: Great tasting food!
Disadvantages: Bit pricey

My other half and I are both big shopper and big eaters. I love to dine out, nothing like having someone else make your food for you! We have been going to Chili's based in Hatfield, in the Galleria shopping centre for a few years now since it opened. My review is based on this one restaurant as I haven't been to another. Look and Layout ---------------------- The Chili's in Hatfield is quite large with plenty of seating. There are large square ...
...larger parties. There is a large circular booth which seats approx. 8 people and all down the sides of the restaurant are 2 seat and 4 seat booths. There is a nice bar also in this Chili's. It has a few tables next to it, so you can order some food there and continue to drink, as well as bar stools for those who are only there for the booze. All tables and booths are either brown or blue with hints of red and green in the marbling on the tables. ...

Review of Chili´s Grill & Bar

Starbucks - an absolute must on cold, wintery days.

Advantages: Comfy, excellent service, fantastic choice of drinks and snacks. seasonal drinks are amazing.
Disadvantages: can be crowded and busy if you go at the wrong time, e.g. saturday afternoons!

...course you choose the busiest Starbucks and end up queueing for that as well! But if that happens, God just is not on your side and you probably shouldn't have bothered trying to Christmas shop at all! Last Christmas me and my friend spent about 3 hours in Starbucks, latte after latte, smoothie after smoothie, chatting away and eating almost everything they had. We'd been shopping for about an hour and we were pretty much ready to go home before ...
...green Starbucks logo, and the smell of fresh coffee lured us in for a cheeky break. And ohhh boy, were we glad we did! By the time we left we were in very high spirits (probably from too much caffene..) and absolutely battled our way through and got every single gift! Some say it's a miracle, I call it Starbucks. I thank God for Starbucks, my knight with steaming latte! ...

Review of Starbucks Coffee

50's diners still loud and proud!

Advantages: great dining experience, retro
Disadvantages: food wasnt GREAT

As a visitor to Los Angeles, I had not heard of the chain 'Johnny Rockets', and just happened to pop in to the branch on hollywood boulevard as I was thirsty. Little did I know that I was in fact entering a time warp! Great retro decor, with an authentic diner bar and cute touches like 'jukebox' napkin holders, we decided to have the full experience and order one of their trademark burgers and milkshakes. Had to wait a while for the food, which wasnt ...
...everyone who works in any restaurant in LA is actually a wannabe actor, and these guys didnt hold back- suddenly, when Arethra Franklin's 'Respect' came on the jukebox, ALL of the bar and food staff ran into the centre of the diner, and did a crazy little line dance with actions. They DID look a bit like they wanted the floor to swallow them up, especially when all the greedy tourists started taking pictures, bu it was a great surprise and made the ...
