Papas Grill
Apr 17, 2009 by Jane from Roxboro, NC
Overall Rating: 3
Food:[3] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[3]

• I liked the water.
• The arrogance of the owner.

“You will love the restaurant, if you love rude owners, service where they can't even decide who is supposed to be serving your table.”

• Fast and friendly service.
• Found a roach in my food.

“I came in during lunch yesterday and ordered off the menu instead of getting food from the hot bar since I am a vegetarian. I was almost done with my food when I discovered a roach in my food. I was so disgusted! I had to show it to my husband to make sure I wasn't crazy and sure enough it was a roach. I called back and complained and they apologized. Maybe this was a one time thing for them but I don't plan on going back. My husband eats there about every other day and I guess it will take him finding one in his food to make him stop going since he still plans to go back.”

Shiki Sushi

Overall Rating: 8

• Ok food.
• Poor service.

“The food here is ok. When I ate there, one group got less expensive sushi and the other got much more expensive items - we spent 20 minutes having to manually calculate our check to split it, and it ended up that both parties got charged $20 more than we should have. In addition, our waiter offered poor service and when we explained which cards we wanted to charge parts of the check to, he charged the wrong cards with no apology. We spoke to the management and they were also unapologetic. This restaurant is not worth the hassle. Go someplace with better service (Red Bowl in Cary, anyone?) and save yourself the time and frustration.”

Brigs At The Park Restaurant

• It was ready when I got there.
• So gross I could not eat it.

“I ordered a Monaco omelet for take out. When I started eating it the first thing I found was something tough and rubbery about 3" long and 1 1/2" wide kind of weird colored. After further investigation I determined it was an old piece of dried brie cheese that still had the white covering on it. I was so disgusted. I was so hungry. Obviously, they hadn't even heated it enough to melt it down. A co-worker walked by and said "What in the heck is that?" Then she asked who did such a thing to me. When I told her I where I got it, she was shocked. Needless to say, I could not eat anything. I hit the trash and I went hungry.”
