If you were driving by, you'd think it was a creepy, old abandoned building. Even the inside is dark, with the lights turned very low. Maybe it's to set a mood. Everything seems pretty laid back here, like time slows down. It took me damn near 40 years, but I finally had my first Cold Stone experience. Prior to this I had only heard the legends from places like Aziz Ansari's classic standup bit. This is how I learned of their unique naming scheme for their sizes. Not wanting to look like a little poopy pants baby, I skipped right past Like It and went right to Love It. I'm glad I didn't jump all the way to Gotta Have It® (yes, each size has a registered trademark), as it simply would have been entirely too much ice cream - roughly three large scoops. Had a major a-ha moment when I got a glimpse of them using the stone. I was like, "OH! Like the name!" Couldn't really see what was going on from where I was standing, but essentially you pick a flavor of ice cream, then any number of "mix-ins" (surprisingly not trademarked) are folded into the ice cream on top of the stone, which in this case is a slab of granite kept at a frigid 16°F. Is it one big gimmick? Probably. I don't think it's that much of a step up from getting ice cream normally and then adding on whatever toppings. I guess I could see the value of Cold Stone's method when eating from a cone. This way you wouldn't have loose toppings falling all over the place since they'd be more incorporated in the ice cream. But as my preferred ice cream delivery system is the bowl, I'm happy going elsewhere for my fix to get more bang for my buck.

Yes, their vanilla cake-based donuts are fried in hot oil and NOT duck fat. But what makes them unique is that their twenty-eight varieties are made to order right in front of your eyes. You see, the donuts are made by a cool automated process that drops plain donuts into a bin. Then the fun starts when the plain donuts are transformed in front of you with various toppings and drizzles. Bottom line? Your donuts are served hot and fresh for you. Founded in 2006 in Duck, North Carolina, the chain has expanded rapidly from its original Outer Banks location and now operates over 150 locally owned shops across 26 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, Egypt, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. The donuts are reasonably priced, so we paid just $2.65 each for a Blueberry Streusel and Cinnamon Bun donut. They were amazing. We both had a half of each donut last night, and we agreed the Blueberry was the clear winner. Bottom line? If your donut quacks like a duck.....you're in luck!

Always a nice meal, been going here since I was a kid. I'm rating it for what it is, it's not a 5 star restaurant, they sell goodburgers and fries, and great ice-cream, so ignore those hypercritical reviews. You'll get what you pay for from an honest owner. Enjoy! P.S. try the flamethrower burger if you like spice, it's the best thing on the menu in my opinion! read more

It was moderately busy when we entered, and was getting rather crowded by the time we left an hour later. I ordered one of their specials -- a breakfast burrito with eggs, potatoes, fresh tomato, green peppers, onions, and cheese, then wrapped in bacon and deep fried. The crispy burrito and bacon complemented the fillings nicely, and it was served with a crema sauce on the side. My dining partner got a strawberry cheesecake crepe, which had a generous amount of fresh strawberries and filling, and a pile of whipped cream on top. It too was delicious. The portions for both were perfect -- generous but not excessive. The coffee was good as well, which I can't say about a lot of places anymore. It was very clean and new inside, and the decoration was very nice. Modern and elegant, but with enough natural oak accents, basket-shaded lights, and plants to really brighten the space. The service was also excellent. They were fully staffed with many attentive employees available, and the service was on point. The food came out fast and hot. If I had one complaint, it might be that the A/C was a little strong. It's maybe a little pricey for breakfast compared to diner fare (almost every entrée was $10-15), but the value is 100% there. Excellent food, nice atmosphere, and great service. Definitely a stand-out in the area for breakfast/brunch/lunch, and I will definitely be back.

The atmosphere is a bit more upscale than your average diner--everything was impeccably clean, and the ambiance was very pleasant. My friends both opted for the "All You Can Eat Buffet," which I understand is what this place is famous for (especially on weekends!). Their plates were packed, and the fact that they both went back for seconds speaks for itself--they loved it. I went with the Norway Benedict, and I was honestly blown away. It featured two perfectly poached eggs and smoked salmon on English muffins with a very generous serving of Hollandaise sauce, accompanied by a side of home-fried potatoes. The presentation was beautiful, the taste was excellent, and I truly can't think of a single thing that would have improved the dish. Service Highlights: * Attentive Staff: Our server was great--present when we needed drink refills but never intrusive. * Efficiency: They were quick to clear empty plates rather than letting them sit on the table, which we really appreciated. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Let's take a trip down memory lane…read more I was 20 years old. My particular skill set (or lack thereof) had led me down the path of obtaining a Communications degree as an undergrad in the Steel City. Had I known at the time a degree in communications was the equivalent of a participation award in the real world, I would have totally exerted the extra 8% of energy it took to obtain a BA in business or one of the many other degrees that is applicable to - oh, how do you say - ah yes, succeeding in life. But I ask you this, business grads, could you have handled the onslaught of CLASS PRESENTATIONS that us Comm majors endured?! I DON'T THINK SO. Ok, maybe you could have. I'm just lamenting my choice of degrees. I have a fear of public speaking for god's sake. HMM.. WHAT'S A GOOD MAJOR FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE SPEAKING PUBLICLY?! Why, Communications, of course! Uh, where was I going with this? Oh right, the Five Guys tie-in. So I was young and new to city life. I didn't have a lot of direction. All I knew was I liked burgers. So when my super advanced marketing class that guaranteed I'd find an AWESOME JOB AND WOULDN'T DIE DESTITUTE IN A DITCH asked me to do a complete marketing campaign on any company of my choosing, I went with Five Guys. There was a location in Oakland, right on campus that I'd walk by everyday from my SWEET SWEET apartment in Bouquet Gardens on my way to the Cathedral of Learning. I don't know if it's even there anymore. But I chose Five Guys for my marketing project because I thought it was this intimate, local brand unique to Pittsburgh. I legit thought it was a standalone restaurant that had one location. BOY WAS I WRONG. I got called out immediately two minutes into my presentation. All I could do was throw my hands up and plead ignorance. Had to explain to them that I was from the eastern part of the state where Five Guys had never before existed. Boy, that was fun. On one hand I felt like a complete fool who had lived my entire life up to that point in a bubble of ignorance. But on the other hand, I did get a really good ACTUAL single-location local burger joint recommendation from my classmates MID-PRESENTATION, mind you (Tessaro's, for anyone wondering). Ok, back to the topic at hand. And we gotta address the elephant in the room when it comes to Five Guys - price. $11 for a burger is a lot, no doubt. And $9 for a hot dog? No.. just no. Let's face it, unless it's like a 12" dog with massive girth, paying $9 for a hotdog isn't worth it. Five Guys is always going to fall between fast food and sit-down casual dining in terms of price and quality. Does Red Robin have better burgers? Eh, maybe. But it also requires you to eat at Red Robin. And trust me, no one wants to go down that dark path. One positive is they've been super cool by offering free delivery for the past, oh, I dunno, 7 months or so? That's when I first noticed it, anyway. That's not something many restaurants have done. MOD Pizza offered free delivery for about a week in January. Got me hooked on it. Then never offered it again. Thanks, MOD! Stingy bastards. If you are EVER craving a burger, Five Guys has to be one of the first places that pops in your head. Fast food burgers at McDonald's and Wendy's are slowly creeping up to Five Guys prices. I mean, for real for real, a Wendy's Dave Double or whatever the hell it's called is about $8 now. McDonald's is even worse. Burgers going for $9 at Micky D's? OH, HELL NAW. That's when that $11 burger at Five Guys doesn't seem so bad. And it comes with two patties and unlimited FREE toppings. That's where you get your money's worth. Seriously, if you are craving no-frills burger and don't want to take a second mortgage out on your house, then by all means, any fast food dollar menu will do. But if you're a topping addict like me who goes absolutely hog-wild on adding an obscene amount of fresh ingredients such as sautéed mushrooms & onions, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, AND MORE, then Five Guys has got to be the way to go.
