Dr. Clean

Dr. Clean cleaned the ducts in both sides of a duplex rental I own.  Unknowingly, a potential renter came in a few hours after the guys left.  The visitors first comment was how pretty my place is.  The second thing they said was how good the place smelt.  Great job guys!!  Thank you.

We called Dr Clean in a jam. We had some interior remodeling done and knew we needed our ducts cleaned. This company is hassle free, responsive, professional, and on time ……actually early!!! The technician was super friendly and spot on. Would highly recommend using them over the bigger chains!!

Dr. Clean did an excellent job cleaning our carpets. Randall is reliable and professional. Looking forward to getting our air ducts cleaned soon!

My wife had them out to clean our air ducts and was flabbergasted by the amount of crud he pulled from the air vents. The man was courteous and respectful and did a very good job. We will definitely be using them on a yearly schedule.

Had a great experience! This is the second time I've used Dr. Clean, and I recommend them to everyone. Chris and Jason were excellent! They glued an area of the carpet that was delaminated, vacuumed and deep cleaned the carpet and throw rug in no time at all. All while entertaining my annoying and needy dog. Haha!

Mediterranean Market & Cafe

Food was fantastic! Got the chicken gyro and was NOT disappointed! The pita was so soft and moist! The grocery selection is ridiculously diverse. The hummus was fresh and flavorful. I wish I lived closer to this store cause I’d eat there everyday.

First time to eat here and wow I’m shocked it’s taken me this long to try it.   Best lunch I’ve had in a while.  Gyro and spinach pie are incredibly good.

This place is DELICIOUS!!! The food was fresh and was a nice big portion. The pistachio baklava was some of the best I’ve had. I even bought some dressing to take home - that good! This is definitely our new spot! The owner was so kind and nice. Support this local business!

We loved eating here! My falafel sandwich with baba ganoush and tahini sauces inside was to die for. So satisfying. We came to eat at 11 AM on a Friday and there was only one other customer, so the wait time wasn't long. The man behind the counter was very friendly and patient as we decided what to order. You can also buy a wide variety of grocery items from the Mediterranean area, as well as fresh baklava, hummus, and bulk olives!

The whole experience was a bust. The food was over cooked and the smallest portions you can imagine. When I asked for my money back, they refused. They let me walk out the door, knowing they have my money and that I didn’t touch anything I ordered. I have never been treated so disrespectfully at an dining establishment. I would never recommend an experience like this. DO NOT EAT HERE. I will be telling all my friends, and then some.

23rd Street Brewery

Sunday errand day! And so while traveling south on kasold we decided to try 23rd street brewery for the 1st time. Bellied up to the bar and whoa! Lots of craft beer choices! I had Wave the wheat and hubby had watermelon ale. Both were delicious and icy cold. Note: the bartender graciously gave us samples (!). We both ordered the classic Flatbread which comes out as a pie shape and NOT a rectangle! Just the right amount of toppings that meld together in harmony! The ambience is lovely as you can talk to each other without yelling to be heard. The women's bathroom is large and very clean. All in all, definitely a 5 star place and as hubby said, "we've found a place that rivals Mr. Brews ". Yes we have and we will absolutely be back. We also bought 2 cans to take home and on Mondays they're 2 for 10.00. WOOT!

AND...we're back! Stopped by after a Menards trip. We both had salads. I had NO IDEA the salad I ordered (avocado greens) was going to be able to fee my entire family! Jeeminy! Look at the size of this salad? And the toppings were also huge portions! I bet they used 2 avocados! Just delicious and fresh! Hubby had a side salad and fries (the usual). I had a polly olly beer which was crisp, light and a little happy. Hubby had a bitter professor which he proclaimed delicious! Our new watering hole! We're the ones that sit at the bar. Very clean restaurant and bartenders wipe down surfaces with Microban which is huge thumbs up!

We stopped by today and WOW! the place has been transformed into a snow globe. It's absolutely beautiful! We sat at the bar and our favorite bartender, Kelly,  was on staff! YAY! The menu has changed but still offers mouthwatering delights! I ordered the Angus burger (medium rare) with fries. Hubby had thr chicken tenders with fries. So, even though the menu has changed, the portions have not. First, my burger was perfection! So many places shy away from a medium rare anything. Not here. Just cooked brilliantly.  The burger is huge-like the size of a saucer and thr amount of fries is wickedly huge. No different for hubby's plate too. We have food for the next 2 days-no lie. I enjoyed a "wave the wheat" beer and hubby had a beer to whose name I disremember. It was delicious. Both were served frosty cold. I love the fact we have CLOTH napkins at the bar. So elegant! Kelly was attentive, efficient and friendly. If you have an opportunity to visit this place during the holidays, you should! The atmosphere is an incredible experience with the multitude of lights and decorations.  Don't miss it!

Hubby and I met bff and her hubby here to experience the snow globe as they had never been. We were seated in a booth and quite frankly, the booth seat was in very sad shape. The tear was at least1 foot long and 6 inches wide. I'm unsure why it couldn't be repaired? Really tacky. Our server was lovely and as there was a party going on, drinks and food were slow. Drinks arrived 20 minutes after ordering and food 30 minutes later. So let's chat about the food. I'm guessing the chef has been replaced because this time the food was pretty bad. I ordered fish and chips (see photo). Bff took one look and said, "it looks like it was pulled out of the Kaw, cut the head off, and fried!" She's wasn't wrong. It just looked gross and it was way overfried and very, very bland. Hubby's chicken salad, same thing: overfried and tough. Bff ate 1/4 of her meal grimacing the whole time. Her hubby's burger was overcooked and looked like a piece of leather. Again, not sure what's going on but somethings changed and it ain't pretty OR tasty. I'm bringing my kids here to see the snow globe BUT we'll have a beer and move on to another food venue. I hope this restaurant returns to its former glory. Fingers crossed!

I have been here quite a few times in the past few years and of generally always been pleasantly surprised with the service, prices, and variety as well as quantity in what is offered here.

I have not been here in maybe 6 months or so and they've drastically decreased the size of their menu buy drastically INCREASED their prices. I know inflation and post-pandemic adjustments had to be made in restaurants of all types. But these prices seemed a little steep in comparison to other establishments in their tier. They wanted $25 for fish and chips, $31 for some pasta with salmon...and the average price for a burger was around $18. We left and went to Johnny's West... they have double the size of the menu, their prices are about $10 less than some of the same things offered at 23rd Street. And I've eaten at both places, multiple times... and unless 23rd Street had a 5-star Michelin chef hiding back in the kitchen, then....

They also took all the flatbreads off the menu and those were delicious.

On the flip side, their beers are always amazing and ever-changing. So at least keep doing a good job with that.

Will be back for drinks, but probably won't be back for food. Which is sad... you guys used to be really good. ☹️

We were here with a large group celebrating a family event. Excited, noisy crowd, and the staff was outstanding. Managed to get us to order even though we were all distracted.  They were on top of everything, really great job all around. I had a burger, excellent. The group had anything from salad to wings, and everyone had positive reports. The beer is OUTSTANDING. I stayed with the Irish Red, tried the House IPA, and both were top notch. Really great place. Good food, great beer, but like anywhere the ate staff is what makes the place - and the staff is incredible! Our waitress was Emma, and she was a serious pro with all the craziness happening. Fantastic.

Food was amazing, but what really won me over to the 5 star review was the dessert. The warm butter toffee cake is absolutely phenomenal, and even better than the desserts at Gordon Ramsay's steak house. The service was phenomenal. Lina was one of the best servers I've ever had. I will definitely be returning.

Very friendly staff, great service, really great food with large portions and a super holiday atmosphere. Best Christmas decor I've seen this year so far!!

360 Kids Academy

360 Kids is a fantastic daycare/school. Their prices are very reasonable, the childcare is quality and your child will learn about Jesus! You'll be surprised what they come home knowing.

My child has attended 360 for the past 5 years. We have had a great experience.

Wild Birds Unlimited

If you like birds, or just want to have birdsong in the morning, these guys have everything you're going to want.  I picked up some seed that will appeal to my favorite wild birds, blackbirds, and a fantastic wine stopper that sings birdsong when you pour your beverage.  I joined the discount club, because the kids and I will be back.

Great service and selection. Staff was knowledgeable about the products and local birds.

Paul Davis Restoration of Greater Lawrence and Topeka

Updated amount owed: $9610.57

They have communicated with me on 10/29 (Tylor) warning that I needed to remove the review in order to get paid.
I have screenshots of how this "manager" has threatened to make all the checks owed to me not get paid.
This company has only shown no type of professionalism. They think because I am a minority I will let them treat me with no respect. That's going towards Tylor who thinks they can disrespect the people that work for me. And no I will not delete my review. I want everyone who's thinking of working as a subcontractor for this company to think twice. They will not pay & only threat you.
I will continue to warn everyone trying to work for this company as a subcontractor.

To the people that are currently working for them, be careful. You start a job for them & they don't let you finish the job with some excuse that the client refuse to get the job done or the materials will not arrive on time. Just for that moment of not finishing that job they will not pay the remaining balance due.
I will not get tired of fighting for my money. You know why, because that money I worked very hard for. I did not steal it or won the lottery. So of course I will continue to fight. Since I seen how many more subcontractors they owed to, we are making this companies rich with our hard work money they are stealing!!  Privileged companies stealing from the minorities who work hard everyday.

They did a great job on my Father in Laws home when his entire ceiling collapsed. Cleaned up, repaired, and replaced all affected material. I went to bat for other items that needed to be included with the insurance company and got all returned to where it should be.

Their team was very helpful at my mother's home. Showed up when scheduled, did the work promised and for the price promised. They even helped her with removing items from her basement not initially affected by the remediation issue. Overall a positive experience for an unpleasant situation for her.

I give a 5 star rating.  The crew was a pleasure to work with and so very efficient in getting the work done in record time.  I would not hesitate to use Paul Davis again if need be, and I would certainly recommend them.  The phase 2 part is now underway, and I am confident that their expert work will continue.

The work in my basement has been completed, and I am so very pleased. Steve Burton has gone above and beyond in making sure everything was well done.  I was comfortable in dealing with the work crews, and I will continue to sing the praises of Paul David Restoration.

I called Paul Davis to get an estimate on some mold remediation in our home.  Jeff was able to come out the next day and take a look.  After relaying my concern that I didn't know where water was coming in to create the mold issue, Jeff took his time and looked around the exterior and interior of the home to try to find a cause.  After not finding any obvious problem spots, he took a look inside the wall where we were having issues and immediately realized that mold was not the problem, it was a termite infestation.  He then went a step further and suggested some next steps to take if we wanted to save money and tackle some of the necessary renovations ourselves after the termites had been treated.

I was extremely pleased with Jeff's above and beyond service, especially since I had actually gotten two mold remediation quotes prior to calling Paul Davis.  Both of those companies came out, measured the wall in question, and estimated about $1,500 to remedy the situation.  Neither of those companies looked closely to help determine what was causing the problem.  I'm glad I made the call and met with Jeff--he just saved me $1,500 in unneeded mold remediation costs.

Midas

We have been customers of Midas for more than six years and have always received excellent service for our vehicles - currently a Volvo C70 and BMW SUV. The manager Ann and lead mechanic Bill have our trust and loyalty for years to come. You will always receive an honest recommendation for repairs needed and a fair price for their excellent service. I cannot rate this particular Midas location high enough or say enough good things about their customer care. Repairs are never fun, but somehow I always leave there with a smile.

My appointment was at ! PM for an oil change I was out by 1:35. Very kind to answer all my questions. I did get down to Kasold and 15th. Turned my car off and when I got back in it made a light clicking sound all the way home even when I put it in park. I'm just hoping it's nothing serious as I also had to get new tires today. I seriously doubt this had anything to do with the oil change and the guys were great. I plan on going back to Midas in the spring to get my brake fluid drained. If my car still runs by then.

An excellent place for car service and inspection. Friendly staff and reasonable charges.

Follow me for more information and interesting reviews.

Ann was incredibly kind and flexible when I needed an oil change and windshield wipers replaced right before they closed. She never made me feel like an imposition, she didn't try to upsell me, but did alert me to things I should consider getting repaired before winter. I was blown away by her service and will be back in a heartbeat the next time I need car help.

They are always so good to be. From my break replacement in my Jeep Grand Cherokee to letting me know there was nothing wrong with my Hondra CR-V and there was no charge for today. I

trust the people in the shop and the front desk team is incredibly kind and helpful. This is the only place I will take all of my vehicles. Thank you for being a place I trust and a place I’m safe.

Argana cafe

Argana opened on W 23rd Street earlier in the year, though I did not have a chance to try it before it burned down. The photos and article I read really made me sad I never had a chance to try it.

Fast forward to this week, I read an article in the LJW which advised Argana had moved into the old 'Wake the Dead' spot on E 7th.

Decided to place a take out order and chose the argana meat combo entree which came with soup and a salad. I love baba ghanoush and ordered a side which came with warm pita bread. The food was ready in fifteen minutes and the owner, Yasine, greeted me by name upon arrival. They've got a really nice space, which includes some smaller rooms offering more privacy. Yasine also offered me a chance to try the Moroccan spiced meatballs. They were very nicely seasoned and I look forward to ordering them as an entree next time.

Once I got home, I likely ate way more food than I should have, but everything was delicious. The salad was fresh, soup was nicely seasoned and the meats tender.

I look forward to my next visit to Argana and hope they succeed in this difficult business climate!

Love visiting Argana Cafe! The food is flavorful and not too heavy. The falafel is the best I’ve ever had, the order comes with more…we had already sampled some before I took the picture.

I’m obsessed with this food! The complimentary tea while we were waiting for our order was wonderful. The chicken shawarma entree was HUGE and amazing (chicken was slightly dry but flavorful and the sauce it came with was delicious). The hummus is great. The meat trio entree was fantastic. And don’t even get me started on the Baklava. It was delicious and extremely unique! Can’t wait to come back and try more!

This place is fantastic!!! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is beautiful. It’s bright and breezy while still being romantic and well-decorated. I had the chicken shawarma wrap with the side salad and both were excellent. Just the right amount of spicy! I would give it six stars if I could. Plus it’s right across from the Raven, so you can grab a book to read over lunch.

We had the lamb shank and beef kofta sandwich. Both of them were really good. The service could have been better. We had to do everything ourselves from ordering the food at the counter to getting the silverware, to-go boxes etc. They only brought the food to our table but we had to tip them like regular. I read other reviews where people were offered tea while waiting, nothing like that was offered to us. Overall we will go back for the food but not for the service.

Domino's Pizza

excellent service, delivery drivers always on top of their game. food taste delicious and that's a lot coming from me!!!!!!

The chicken parmesan was simple and Frankly 1 of 2 best sandwiches I've eaten.
Can't beat a Monte Cristo 😂

Placed an order online 2 hours in advance, arrived to the store at my pick up time and they hadn’t even started my order. I waited for 15 minutes and they still hadn’t started my order- ended up cancelling as I didn’t have 1 hour to wait for a pizza.

Manager extremely rude said this pizza is not burnt. Bottom is black by the way. Awhile later our new pizza arrived but had to argue with him. If I could rate with a negative 5 stars I would.

The most recent pie was undercooked but normally great pizza.
