Pizza Spiga Inc
Oct 20, 2008 by Lori from Charlotte

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[6] • Service:[7] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Fair amount of buffet choices with salad bar.
• Inconsistent policies on coupons or frequent visit cards.

“We have eaten at Pizza Spiga before, but it had been a while. Someone told me that the buffet prices had dropped so we went on a Sunday night. Our waitress was friendly and efficient. It was the staff at the checkout that I found disagreeable. When I attempted to use a recently issued coupon, I was told that I could not as they had temporarily lowered the buffet prices. No such restriction was mentioned on the coupon. A couple of years before I had encountered some difficulty using a frequent patron card. They imposed restrictions that were not printed on the card. Another customer shared a discouraging incident she witnessed while dining at Pizza Spiga. A waitress complained loudly about a group of firefighters in her area. The firefighters mentioned their dislike of her complaining that could be heard in the dining room. The man at the counter commented that the firefighters did not have to eat at Pizza Spiga. I sure that after such horrible service they never did again. In summary, the policies are inconsistent and makes a customer feel that his or her business is not wanted. We will be visiting Pizza Hut on Independence Blvd.”

Pizza Spiga Inc

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• A short distance away from my house (easy drive when hungry).
• The young, perhaps inexperienced staffs working at the front counter.

“First of all, let me tell you the reason I gave all 1's for the rating. I have never tried the food, and I can't say for sure that the atmosphere was good or bad, but what I can say is that the service was so horrible that my overall rating for Pizza Spiga has to be a one. I live no more than 10 minutes from the place, and I called ahead to see what time they closed. I get there 15 minutes later, go inside, and I'm told they are closed. Very confused I ask why. The girl says because they "decided to close" (what a good reason). I told her I was the one who called 15 minutes ago, and I asked her why she didn't tell me then that they were closing 45 minutes early. She said "well, because we turned off all the cookers so we had to close." (I'm still confused). I asked if there was a manager to talk to, and the girl just shrugged and said "I don't know what else to tell you, but you have to leave because we are trying to close." Then when I walked out the front door, a man was walking towards the front door, so I told him not to bother going in because they closed early. The man said to me that he knows they're closed because he is the cook and then he asked me if I had a problem with that. He just continued giving me an evil eye until I drove away. It's strange because I had wanted to try the food at Pizza Spiga for a long time. Hope someone else has better luck than me.”

• Always fresh fish.
• Didn't have steamed crabs often enough.

“The food here was outstanding. I don't think its there anymore but the last time we ate there it was the best in Charlotte. The Papimahiel family put their hearts and souls into giving Charlotte the best and freshest seafood. Gus Parcel took this restaurant over and made it more a Carolina landmark. The best pit cooked bbq anyone has ever eaten. Sorry to see that it has become history.”

• I did get a whole pitcher of soda all to myself, which I think is great.
• The food options are either deep-fried or bland.

“I've been here a few times, and it's about what I expect from an inexpensive seafood restaurant. I tried the weight watchers trout, which was a good portion (but dry). My boyfriend's weight watchers snapper was small (but tasty). However, a few of us found lots of tiny bones in the fish, the hush puppies were really greasy, and our waitress left a lot to be desired. If you're really into seafood, I would recommend upstream in Phillips place over this place. ”

Tsingtao Chinese Restaurant
Aug 23, 2006 by Michelle

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[8] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[7]

• The food selection is good.
• It's very much like all the other Chinese buffets around here

“I like these guys. They have good food, and it's usually pretty quiet in the restaurant. I always know I will find something I like there. I'm also glad they are so close! Seafood offerings include crab legs, cocktail shrimp, a baked fish, and several seafood dishes. They also have soup, sushi, beef and chicken, and an OK dessert bar.”

Tsingtao Chinese Restaurant

• The chairs are covered in plastic.
• The food!

“This is the worst buffet I have ever been to! I'm sorry to offend anyone but I lied to my mother and told her I had eaten right before we went when she asked my I wasn't eating. There was a dead fish in the fish tank also. If you don't take the time to removed a dead fish can you imagine the time and effort they spend on the food.”
