Agaves Cantina Mexican cuisine | Mt. Pleasant, Sc 320 W Coleman Blvd unit p, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 Agaves Cantina – Mt. Pleasant, SC ⭐ 3.9 out of 5 stars Agaves Cantina is one of those spots that immediately feels welcoming the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly, seating was quick, and the overall vibe makes it an easy choice when you’re hungry and don’t want to wait around. The menu offers a solid selection of classic Mexican-style dishes, and the atmosphere has that upbeat, casual energy that works well for lunch or an easy dinner stop. Now, here’s where things got a little interesting. I went the healthier route and ordered a salad—which, let’s be honest, isn’t exactly what Mexican restaurants are known for. While they did offer a few good dressing options, the salad itself felt more like fajita meat and peppers tossed onto a bed of lettuce. Tasty? Yes. A little strange and not quite what I was expecting? Also yes. Points were definitely lost there. The chips and salsa were a...

Hong Kong buffet review | Orangeburg, Sc 2034 Columbia Rd, Orangeburg, SC 29118 ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ 3.4 out of 5 Stars Hong Kong Buffet – Orangeburg, SC From an influencer standpoint, Hong Kong Buffet delivers exactly what you expect from a small-town Chinese buffet — and honestly, that’s not always a bad thing. The good: Seating was quick, which is always a win when buffet hunger kicks in. No long waits, no awkward standing by the door wondering if someone forgot you. The buffet line was easy to access and stocked with all the usual crowd-pleasers: General Tso’s chicken, honey chicken, coconut shrimp, and the familiar lineup you see at most Chinese buffets. Nothing exotic, but nothing missing either. Staff interaction was fine — not overly warm, not rude — just there to keep things moving. The not-so-good: This place is definitely showing its age. Seating and tables feel seriously dated, and the lighting is very dim — borderline “romantic dinner” lighting, which isn’t exactly what you expect when s...

Vickery's Bar & Grill Review | Mt. Pleasant, Sc 1313 Shrimp Boat Ln, Mt Pleasant, SC 29464 ⭐ 4.1 out of 5 stars Vickery’s Bar & Grill delivers a solid coastal dining experience with a laid-back vibe that feels right at home along the canal. The setting is easily one of its strongest cards—water views, boats drifting by, and a relaxed Lowcountry atmosphere that instantly puts you in vacation mode (even if you’re local). The menu is impressively broad, offering everything from burgers and salads to pasta dishes, so there’s something for just about everyone at the table. Pair that with a tasty drink menu, and you’ve got a recipe for a very enjoyable meal. We hit it during the slow season, which meant zero wait time—a beautiful thing—and the staff was friendly and attentive without hovering. Atmosphere-wise, the outdoor setting shines, but the interior tells a slightly older story. The inside and bar area feel a bit dated, and the bar itself could use a little TLC—nothing alarm...

CT Cantina & Taqueria review | Dunwoody, Ga 244 Perimeter Center Pkwy NE Suite 1, Dunwoody, GA 30346 ⭐ 4.3 out of 5 stars From an influencer’s lens, CT Cantina & Taqueria delivers a polished, upscale take on a Sunday Mexican buffet (11am–3pm)—and it shows the moment you pull up to valet. This isn’t your average steam-table spread. Think authentic staples like pozole, menudo, carnitas, a generous lineup of aguas frescas, and a dessert station that deserves its own applause—chocoflan and tres leches included. The food? Tasty and authentic, executed well across the board. Nothing missed the mark, but nothing truly reinvented it either. If you’re familiar with great Mexican buffets, you’ll recognize the flavors—just presented in a more refined, luxury setting. The staff is friendly and attentive, keeping things moving smoothly despite the crowd. Where the conversation starts is the price. At $42.50 per person (buffet + drink), expectations naturally rise. While the quality and ambi...

Marriott Kansas City Overland Park review | Kansas 10800 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS 66210 ⭐ 2.5 out of 5 Stars “A stay that started strong… then flushed itself away—literally.” If you’re looking for a hotel that nails the basics—clean spaces, friendly staff, a comfy bed, and a location that puts you close to food, highways, and life itself—then the Marriott Kansas City Overland Park seems like a solid pick. Emphasis on seems. Because while the building had its charms, my experience took a very unexpected turn in a direction no guest wants to go. Let’s start with the good news: The place is clean. The staff? Pleasant, helpful, and ready with smiles. There’s a full restaurant and bar on site—huge win if you’re hungry or just too tired to DoorDash your life away. Starbucks coffee right in the building? Absolutely. Fitness room? Surprisingly spacious. Complimentary snacks for top-tier guests? Yes, please. And the bed? Soft enough to make you consider hitting snooze at least three times...
