a pepsi vending machine and tables
Nicole E.

As of July 6th, 2021 they are still only open for carry out only. It's in the same complex as the Kesho collision shop. The Apple map shows it right by Walgreens, but it's two driveways before. I ended up parking over by the collision shop, since there's no parking spaces right around the carry out restaurant. :/ Grabbed some veggie korma, channa masala, butter chicken, lollipop chicken app as well. I called the order in on my way there, minutes away. The order would take 25 to 35 minutes to ready. The food wasn't ready for me after a half hour. The guy behind the counter went to check on the order. Food was ready 40 minutes later. They do have 4 of 6 tables are made of this particle board with these rough edges. Be careful with your clothing as the rough table edges will catch your garments and could definitely tear it some. The man behind the counter did apologize for the wait for my food, as it wasn't done in the 25-35 minute estimate. He is friendly and asked for feedback on the food, since we eat a lot of Indian food. The lollipop chicken has really nice flavor, sweet and savory. We took a small rice, it has a subtle flavoring to it, some fennel seeds mixed in with the rice. The butter chicken is good, not super sweet or creamy as I had expected. The Chana masala and veggie korma were both so-so, neither had a lot of flavor. The veggie korma is creamy for sure. The mix of veggies isn't bad. The butter chicken was the better of the 4 items, still the sauce could be creamier and a tad sweeter. None of the dishes made me want to eat any of them all up. I don't think any of the dishes were spicy at all, definitely not medium spicy at all. Food was okay. Staff are friendly though.

Egg Biryani
Kellis N.

The restaurant was clean and service was quick. The samosas were crisp and filled to the brim with a potato and vegetable filling. The tamarind sauce with the samosas was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. The chicken 65 was had a good spice to it and the store fried onions and peppers were still crunchy. The biryani was delicious and the blend of spices paired really well with the vegetable kurma and yogurt sauce. It was the first time I had vegetable kurma and I would definitely order the dish again. The butter chicken was flavorful and was the perfect accompaniment to the naan (not pictured). It didn't have too strong of a cream flavor with I really like. I definitely come back and order all these dishes again.

Veggie samosa

We were disappointed in our meal considering the 5 star overall Yelp review. Maybe it is a reflection on the lack of Indian food in that area; I am not sure. We ordered the butter chicken which is usually a creamy color due to the butter. This was very red and tomato sauce looking, yet it had no flavor at all. We tried the aoo paratha, something we have never had, and do not plan on getting it again. I was not getting much flavor from it and what I did get, was not very good. The veggie samosa's were decent (the filling was good) but the fried portion was very greasy tasting. The chicken kurma was decent and the garlic naan was good.

Vegetable Fried Rice

Not for my tastebuds. I was super excited to try the food that was indo-Chinese. But disappointed. Maybe should have tried something else. I got the chicken Hakka noodles. The veggie fried rice and grave chicken Manchurian. The Manchurian in gravy was red I color and probably tomatoey mixed with corn starch to give that texture. Let's just say I can make all 3 better (pretty good cook). The noodles had no flavor what so ever. And the pieces of chicken were very minimal. Typically any gravy dish u You get, restaurants give white rice on the side no charge. But there's no rice to any of their sides.

I miss have smoothies/boba drinks made this way. I did like the huge menu because there are so many choices of options. I did like the scallion lobster although it was messy to eat. The flavor reminded me that that canned chop suey I ate as a child. I felt their prices were kind of high for the area. Just my personal option. I wasn't a huge fan of the pho broth, but I didn't hate it either. I'm indifferent bout it. But my noodles were very clumped together and hard to break apart to eat them in the soup. I would have preferred more white onion and not more green in the soup. The meat choice (brisket sliced beef) was ok. The price for the bowl was reasonable. The crab pho was not worth the price. This was over priced I feel. Maybe I would give them another try and try their traditional plates. The chicken quarters looked good and so did the seafood boils. Service was kinda slow. It took about 10 minutes for someone to come to our table and greet us. We got water and then we wait a little more time for a waiter. Overall the service was not bad. Our waiter was pretty cool. Restaurant wasn't dirty but there were some flies buzzing.

Voyager - Roll

Recently, my husband & I finally tried Voyager after having it on our list for many years. When I…read moresaw that they were having their annual Mid-Winter Lobster Boil, it sounded like fun and the perfect opportunity to check them out. We sat at the bar and had excellent service from the bartender. My husband had a new-to-him beer, which he enjoyed, and I tried the House Martini, which had saffron-infused gin, Strega and dill oil with a pickled onion. It was unique and enjoyable. Before our lobster boil arrived (we had a heads up that it would take 20 minutes), we ordered a bowl of chowder and hush puppies to split. These were my favorite part of the meal! Both were EXCELLENT! The chowder had light, crunchy, homemade croutons in the soup, and it was the perfect addition and the hush puppies were some of the best I've ever tasted. I will share one disappointment. The RESY page where they took the reservations/orders said: "We'll offer a small a la carte menu of coastal favorites & seasonal specials too (e.g. fried clams, shucked oysters, crispy fish sandwiches, etc.)." My husband was excited for the fried clams and talked about getting them several times leading up to our dinner, only to find out there were no fried clams offered. As a matter of fact, our request was met with a reaction that led me to believe that was never even a part of the plan. So why post that in the description? We enjoyed the lobster boil, but felt it was overpriced for what we got. We felt the other items we ordered off the menu were well worth the prices. Our overall impression is that this small, casual restaurant has quality seafood, side dishes and drinks. We will definitely return to try some other items off their regular menu (and get the chowder and hush puppies again!)

Can't believe our last review was 7 years ago, as we have returned to Voyager so many times since!…read moreAtmosphere is casual and fun, albeit small and cozy. Service is always friendly and welcoming, menu innovative and ever-changing. Seafood offerings are varied, creative, and SO FRESH! We love Voyager and it is always worth the near three hour drive, especially when we make it a weekend! Lots of fun areas surround Ferndale. Can't leave this review without mentioning their annual mid-winter lobster boil...a NOT TO BE MISSED event! A whole perfectly prepared lobster, accompanied by sausage, fresh mussels, fresh clams, corn, new potatoes, herby seasoned broth, and of course, drawn butter! Watch for it and get your reservation in! You won't be disappointed! Sorry, we were so busy enjoying the evening, we forgot to take pics, but here's one pic from last year's mud-winter boil!

Parking was no problem as I was lucky to find metered parking just steps away from the front door. I walked in immediately taken with the charming decor and darkly lit romantic vibes, which is my favorite esthetic for any restaurant. The seating at the bar was yummy, thick comfy seats. The bartender greeted me warmly. He was cool and I hate that I didn't ask his name. He was attentive and masterful with the spirits. He asked if it was my first time, which it was, and since so, made me a tasty "welcome" drink with gin that was fantastic. I also ordered "the panty snatcher" a concoction of vodka, grapefruit, St Germain, rose water and orange. It was amazing. I will definitely be back for drinks. The drink menu is quite tempting. I had the Corn, Corn, Corn dish, which is polenta and corn kernels topped with popcorn. Yes, super unique and interesting. I had to try it. The popcorn was so light and flavorful straight out of the kitchen, but became chewy as it sat atop the piping hot polenta. I really enjoyed it however. Next time I'll eat all the popcorn first. I also had lobster dumplings, which was good but the dish wasn't cooked through. The filling wasn't hot and the pasta was very under on some bites. I was the first customer for the evening, so I can forgive that faux pas. I really enjoyed myself and I will return time and time again to try everything. The menu offers many things I love. Great concept. Cool vibes.

The Coach Sports Grille - Cajun Fries

The Coach Sports Grille

Coach Grille is primarily known for its burgers, though specials, such as lamb chops and braised…read morerabbit, are occasionally available. The staff is efficient, and the atmosphere is welcoming. To start, the split pea soup and onion rings are both solid choices. The soup is made in-house, and the panko-breaded onion rings were crispy and firm. I happened to dine in when lamb chops were on special. They were meaty and cooked just right. As for the burgers, Coach sources its meat from Fairway Packing Co. and its buns from Cannelle by Matt Knio. I've tried the All American and the Coach burger. The All American features standard toppings, while the Coach burger is topped with an egg, cheddar cheese, bacon, and a special sauce. Of the two, I preferred the Coach burger, though both were enjoyable. The French fries are hand cut and on the thicker side. The Cajun fries had just the right amount of seasoning, and the garlic fries were well complemented by the cotija cheese and garlic aioli. Fries are not included with any of the handhelds. For dessert, I've had the peanut butter cheesecake. It was rich, with a brownie-like crust. Coach Grille shouldn't be compared to the average bar. While the menu features typical bar food, the quality is well above the norm. Whether you come here for a burger, or something else, you won't be disappointed.

Coach Sports Grille is probably one of the most underrated spots in the area…read more The food is on point, the menu is pretty diverse, and the servers are friendly and helpful. I've spotted a new special every time I've been, so they keep things fresh and rotational which you don't always see in sports bars. So far, I've had the Pulled Pork Brioche, Gourmet Burger, and Suicide Burger but there's more of the menu I'd like to try. My only criticism is the french fries are thick cut steak fries which aren't my preference and despite the Garlic Fries being talked up a lot, I thought they were on the bland side. If they added shoestring fries and a nice house made Caesar dressing and Chicken Caesar Salad, they'd be the perfect spot for me.

Boodles Restaurant - Appetizer? Bread and Butter

Since this was our first visit we didn't know what to expect but the reviews looked good. We arrived to a packed house and I was surprised how small and crammed it was inside. Dumpy is tree he word is use to describe the inside. Peeling paint and stained ceilings. Ventilation system look like it was straight out of the 70s and never maintained since then. I never thought I'd have to worry about Legionnaires disease but this is the place that stuff like that starts in. Tired, old and dingy inside. I'm not opposed to dive bars and restaurants, in fact I love them but Boodles paints themselves as upscale dining with prices to support that. It's anything but. The tables are crammed very close together and you can't help but bump into the people dining next to you to get to your table. I've been in small, intimate restaurants before with the same type of tight configurations but this was almost ridiculous. We ordered a round of drinks. A Cosmopolitan for me and an Old Fashioned for the boyfriend. The people next to us had a group of 6 and they mentioned they have been waiting for almost 2 1/2 hours for their main course. That was another bad sign. Our drinks arrived and were very lackluster. All you could taste was booze which isn't a bad thing if you were ordering it straight or just on the rocks but a steakhouse like Boodles should know how to make a quality Cosmo and Old Fashioned. We ordered the bread service which doesn't come with dinner and was an additional $6. Nothing to write home about even though they claim it's their homemade sourdough. Personally I didn't feel it was worth six dollars. We each got a Caesar salad and while the salad was a nice portion it was lacking in flavor and very little dressing. We waited for our waitress to come and check on us to ask for a side of additional dressing but she never came around. We ate the salad and finished our round of drinks. I was already skeptical on ordering a main course because everything up until this point had been a miss. Against my better judgment I ordered their signature item: Steak Diane prepared table side. My boyfriend ordered the 16 ounce ribeye. Both entrées come with a side of their lyonnaise potatoes. While we waited for our entrées we each ordered a glass of the house Cabernet. They do give a generous pour so that was a plus. After waiting almost an hour they started to prepare the Steak Diane. It was cool to watch them prepare it table side and after waiting almost an hour I was happily hungry with anticipation. I wish I could say it was halfway decent but it was overcooked. I ordered my steak medium rare in hopes that if it does come out a little more than medium rare it's still pink and flavorful. It was grey inside with no pink at all. Even the sauce it was cooked and was devoid of flavor. How is it possible with all the butter and the garlic they were using it was still lackluster? My boyfriend did say his steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and was excellent. The lyonnaise potatoes were also tasty. This was the best part of the entire dining experience other than leaving. After our waitress came back to check on us I told her I was not happy with my main course and that I would like to send it back. She asked if I wanted something else and I said no thank you I'll just take the check. They did take my steak off the bill since I had only tried one bite. My boyfriend had his steak packaged up to go. We just wanted to get out of there at that point. What was surprising is nobody seemed to care or even inquire what they could do better to improve the situation. Every staff member we encountered was very nonplus which makes me think this is not an isolated incident. After paying our bill we walked by a group of people coming in for dinner. They asked us how everything was and I said well we are leaving and if you leave now you can save yourself three hours of your time only to be disappointed.

I thought that these would match the menu pictures (see https://alizseafoodhouse.com/storage/2023/09/Alisz-Dine-in-Menu-9-25-2023_r.pdf). I specified that I wanted the marinated skewers. Instead, I got 3 long fillets that were overly spiced for my taste. 2. The person taking my order asked if I wanted white or brown rice with my platter. I asked for brown, thrilled that they would have it. I got white rice that was brown colored due to spicing. There was a huge amount of it, too. 3. My salads leaked in their bags because they were packaged poorly. 4. The fattoush salad dressing was way sweeter than any I've ever had. It was almost like candy, not what I was looking for. 5. The fried cauliflower seemed greasy and had no tahini (a first). Notes to restaurant: - Please don't say that you are giving skewers on the platters unless they match your pictures (which they didn't). - Please don't call your seasoned rice brown. Brown rice is something different (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_rice?wprov=sfti1). - Consider letting people substitute sautéed vegetables for rice (some people are trying to cut out simple carbs). - Please package your carry-out salads not to leak. - You may want to mention the sweetness of your fattoush dressing since it differs from many others. - Include tahini with your cauliflower.

We almost got run over in the parking lot as someone backed up (from the space right next to the entrance) so that was definitely a frustrating way to start the experience. We had a reservation but were stuck at a table in the back, near an area where servers were going in and out of, which was a little annoying as my chair was jostled a few times and it wasn't ideal for conversation. Would have been great to have been seated in one of the booths but there did not appear to be any open, so we didn't make a big deal out of it. It just seems odd to put reservations at your worst table in the restaurant. The food was decently good and the number of gluten free options available was definitely a plus. They have gluten free bread available as well, which is a nice addition that many places forget. I had a pasta that was okay but nothing special. The mocktail I ordered was very tasty. My fiancé and his mom both enjoyed their meals. We lingered chatting after finishing our meals as it had finally gotten a bit quieter. The restaurant wasn't closing for at least another hour or two, a number of empty tables were around us, and there was no one obviously waiting for a table, but the behavior of the staff seemed to indicate that we should hurry it along, which wasn't a great feeling. My future MIL sensed it and insisted that we head out, and then made a comment about it in the car (she usually doesn't comment on those sorts of things, so it must've been fairly obvious if she decided to comment on it).
