1 Stop Maintenance Reviews Brian Poe’s Tip Tap Room

Everyone loves a good place to get a bite to eat. It’s easier to go in, sit down and have professional cooks whip up your favorite meal on the menu, rather than doing all that yourself at the cost of your money and time. The good folks of the famous news and review group, 1 Stop Maintenance, thought the same thing and decided to pay a visit to Brian Poe’s widely known restaurant, Tip Tap Room.

Tip Tap Room is the success of Brian Poe in Boston, MA. It’s an eating establishment that has quickly gained a lot of the city’s respect and favor as being the few best places to eat. “The food is always clean and good being cooked to perfection. The staff are friendly and helpful with the customers, not to fail to mention the atmosphere of the place is comfortable. What more could you want?” said Rachel Ward, a Boston local and frequent visitor to Tip Tap Room.

The 1 Stop Maintenance Crew had to find out for themselves what all the buzz was about. What they discovered was nothing short of perfection. “I would highly recommend Brian Poe’s Tip Tap Room to anyone. If you love good food and good people and a good time, Tip Tap Room is for you and that is pretty much everyone,” said 1 Stop Maintenance Crew member, Shane Hewitt. “The meat taste like meat, but it’s so tender it cuts like butter, just the way I like it.”

As far as cons of Brain Poe’s Tip Tap Room, no one from 1 Stop Maintenance had anything to say. They came in with bellies empty and left with bellies full, just like they wanted. The review report left by 1 Stop Maintenance carried on to say the meals ordered were better than they had expected based off of disappointment from similar dishes ordered from other restaurants. With Tip Tap Room, there were no problems and a 2nd trip to get the full experience is in the plans for 1 Stop Maintenance.

Rating Restaurants with Karl Jobst

Now, I’ll be the first to tell you that I’ve eaten and reviewed a lot of restaurants, but what I have never mentioned before is that when I do sit down to enjoy a meal freshly cooked and served to me for the judging, I do all this with a friend. My friend happens to be professional dentist and businessman, Karl Jobst, and with him being a dentist I believe it’s fair to say he is more picky than I am and by far a more harsh judge. Truth be told, Karl could do by job and his better than I can, but don’t tell him that.

A few thoughts and questions go into this line of work. Before I do anything else when I walk into a restaurant, I look at the floor and I look at the ceiling. By doing this, I am checking for cleanliness and functionality. No one thinks to clean the ceiling and changing light bulbs up high is one of the last things anyone wants to do. Any one of these things not being touched up on would lead me to believe the owner/manager/employees are lazy.

Smelly Restaurant

untitled (138) imagesTNX1QIEQIf you are smelling something bad in a restaurant it is time to leave.  A little research would have turned up numerous bad reviews and saved you the gross out.  If you can smell it then the restaurant is nasty and should be avoided.  Often the restaurant is nasty and you cant smell it so if you do, get moving.  Some restaurants allow a good smell to lure business.  Ever walked by a coffee shop and smelled that good coffee?  How about that pastry shop?  Ever smelled fresh bread baking?  Yes, those smells are the good ones.  If you smell garbage then it is time to eat elsewhere.  Tim DeCapua is a picky eater.

My Restaurant Reviews

I review my own restaurant online to improve the positive vibe.  Why not, if they let you?  Instead of a bunch of bad reviews the searcher will see my reviews mixed in. imagesUQ809XTN images This is a lot easier that actually improving my restaurant.  No I could just pay Yelp to filter out the bad ones but what is the fun in that.  The truth is that the interviews that get posted are usually from those unhappy customers.  The happy ones are not as motivated to post.  I just help the average positive post count.  Jody Rookstool is a good reviewer and will always say something good about your business.

Restaurant Mayhem

images1IC8S402 images42HZ11HAWhen the critic arrives at your restaurant mayhem ensues.  Every idiot thing possible will happen.  The otherwise competent employs will become blabbering fools.  the food will be over cooked and the silverware will be dirty.  The critic will order the one thing you are out of off the menu.  You will have your chance to at the idiot as the question will be asked why there are no lobsters tonight.  The best thing would be to pull the fire alarm and rush everyone to the parking lot.  Joe Olujic would be the best for the alarm pull.  If the alarm fails the set a real fire.

Restaurant Review Fairness

images (42) untitled (375)There needs to be some fairness introduced into the restaurant review business.  It seems that if you pay a fee the review site will monitor your reviews.  Meaning the bad reviews will magically get lost in cyberspace.  If you are not a site member you will find a lot more negativity coming your way.  You will have to pay the fee or suffer the bad reviews.  I think we need some honest reviews of the review sites. Kim Bettasso decided to pay the fee. I have to agree with her as the bad reviews can hurt your business and cause revenue problems.

Clean Restaurant a Must

images7BA4ZRPG untitled (356)If I review a restaurant and it is not clean then the review will be bad.  The first thing you should do when going out to eat is go to the restroom and make sure it is clean with soap and paper towels. Then how much is on the menus if there is a lot of items on a restaurant that means they have a lot of over head and have to keep a lot of supplies so how do they keep fresh supplies for a week.  That means that they probably use can supplies and frozen.  Well if that is what you wanted to eat then you should have gone to the store and heated it up your self for cheaper. That is when you know you have a bad or good restaurant.  Art Falcone would never eat at a dirty restaurant.

Bon Appetite

untitled (213) images (3) imagesBNUW3HBNWhat review would you give that favorite restaurant?  My guess is that you will overlook any faults and give them a good review.  I am sure that there are people that hate that same restaurant.  What doe that tell about reviews?  Well it is in the eye of the beholder.  If you don’t agree with the review how will you respond to a bad review.  Will it make you wary of eating there?  Most would say yes, eating there would be suspect a the least.   Kim Bettasso will give a good review no matter what.  I would question her motives as a good review can be wrong.

Great Eats

If you need a review to tell you which food is good or bad, I cant help you,  Reviews are just some other persons opinion.  try it out, your ideas are just as good as others when it comes to food.  The best reviews can be found here, https://www.facebook.com/followFDDhttps://www.facebook.com/followFDD .  Just follow the link to a Facebook site.  The best review is one that you can learn from.  If you can see the same as the reviewer then it was a waste of time.  The only way I use reviews is to avoid terrible places.  I found out that bad reviews are usually truthful.

Simple Advice for Ensuring a Positive Restaurant Review

Running a restaurant can be a trying experience even when things are going great, so it should be the goal of every restaurateur to work very diligently to ensure that every word ever published about their restaurant is a positive one. There are many tried-and-true strategies to employ to ensure positive reviews, and these strategies can be incredibly helpful even in the event of a surprise review.

Luigi Wewege, a longtime observer of the restaurant industry, has identified several common elements shared among restaurants that enjoy consistently positive reviews even when the food is not necessarily exceptional. Of course, Wewege says, this does not mean that the food appearing on the menu is of poor quality, just that it is possible to serve standard menu items that are prepared well and still achieve an outstanding review.

The key element is to emphasize a focus on consistently outstanding service. There are many elements that contribute to the reviewer’s experience, and the quality and speed of the service ranks highly among these contributing factors. The appearance of the restaurant is also an important factor, so an emphasis on cleanliness is paramount, even if it means hiring additional staff to ensure that these duties are properly carried out and not left to an exhausted wait staff.

Of course, food preparation cannot be ignored. Everything should be served as it is described on the menu and should be prepared according to the customer’s wishes. While a five-star chef is not required, an experienced and talented kitchen staff can make all the difference.
