This review is for Bec's Mobile Hairdressing, Salisbury Heights SA

verified email - 22 May 2013

Bec is amazing - as you'd expect with over 20 years hairdressing experience.
She's wonderfully no-nonsense and lovely all at the same time - she'll cut your hair, or yours and your friends' hair, all in one sitting, and she'll do it right there in your home!
I'm pretty adventurous with haircuts, and Bec is more than happy to oblige to whatever idea I've come up with, but honest enough to tell me if she doesn't think something will work.
She's fantastic for all styles though - she has cut both my children's hair and done a wonderful job on all of us!
She'll do everything as well, she re-styled a friend's hair, with wonderful results, and coloured another friend's, all are excellent.

As a mobile service, Bec states that she covers all areas "from Modbury to Mawson Lakes and from Salisbury Heights to St Agnes".

I would probably receive better customer service if I picked up one of the balls and threw it at the wall and was asked to leave. Sadly, I didn't do this, and instead I had to seek out the assistance of quite a rude and abrupt manager, who seemed completely disinterested in offering anything remotely resembling assistance.
The other staff were nicer, however this is a relative thing - they were nicer because they weren't as rude as the manager, but otherwise completely disinterested.
Disappointing, because such a large store and fantastic location has so much potential, but I feel it is going to waste.

Amazing coffee - that tastes as it should. Service was pleasant, and the atmosphere lovely. A nice place to go, without being too cool or impossibly hip.

Lovely staff at the front desk, and lovely doctors. There's a lot to be said for continuity of care, and like the other reviewer, I've been going to Pedare Family Practice for years.
I've also seen the physio at Pedare - he's very helpful, knowledgeable and attentive.

I wasn't crazy about this shop - I was really eager to go there, and while the range was good for the size of the store (it's quite small) the staff member working that day was arrogant and condescending to a point where I had little to no desire to make any purchases at all.
While I appreciate that I am not an experienced rider, it seemed the shop attendant was quick to dismiss us and then continued to talk down to us... and in doing so, effectively talked me out of a sale.
I hope others don't have this same experience!

This review is for Mcdonalds, Frewville SA

I don't know, is it wrong to expect that the coffee from McDonalds wont taste like mud and be a scalding hot temperature?
They don't do soy milk coffee via drive through, which although mildly inconvenient is fine, but the quality of the coffee that was bought was awful. The milk was far too hot and the coffee was burned and awful.
Either do it well, or don't do it at all.

This review is for Nonna's Pizzeria, Glenside SA

I love this place - it's my local takeaway pizza place, and represents everything I imagine a local pizza shop should. The staff are friendly, always ready with a welcome smile and chat, and the food is good -- hot, fresh and delicious. The garlic focaccia is fantastic, also made on site.
And they're open late!

This review is for Arriba Grill, Glenside SA

A wonderful little establishment with bright, cute decor and friendly service.
The ordering style was unique (ticking the boxes on an order card) and innovative. I enjoyed the novelty of it, as well as not having to hover around the counter as my food was being made.

The food was exceptional, our burritos were enormous and absolutely delicious.

... the super nintendo in the restaurant was a nice touch. :)
Will definitely be going back!

Approximate cost: $10

Gosh I love this place. I find it difficult to walk past it - the food, the smells, absolutely amazing. The staff are friendly and the service is wonderful. They're always quick with a smile and a friendly word, which just adds to the pleasure of the experience.
It's always busy - not horrendously so, but there are always people eating and ordering, which I think is a good testimony to how delicious the food is.
Definitely a must try if you haven't been there before!

You know a supermarket is good when you're disappointed you no longer live local to it.
This is by far one of the friendliest supermarkets I have been to. The staff are always polite, helpful and quick to open registers to relieve even the shortest of queues.
While not the largest supermarket in Adelaide, the range is comprehensive, and importantly, local produce is clearly labelled, as is anything that is Australian made.
The specials are consistently good, the store is clean and well stocked, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming.
The best supermarket I've been to in Adelaide, and certainly one that the larger chains could take a lot of lessons from.
