Hey everyone, for those of you who check out the forums a lot and not much of the main site, we also have an official restaurant review section:
http://www.myfolsom....staurants.shtml

Typically the restaurants listed here are recommended. Those that have not been listed yet means one of two things:
1) We haven't gotten to them yet
2) We haven't found a favorable review yet.

If you would like your restaurant reviewed, or would like to review for us, please email me at webmaster (at) myfolsom.com.

I'm sorry john, but I'm one of those that doesn't check out myfolsom.com, I go straight to the tomatopages. For online restaurant reviews, I use folsomliving.com
I would rather be Backpacking

Bill, that site doesn't have very good reviews because its not an interactive site with any people on it like our site is.

You should become one of those that does check out myfolsom.com for restaurant reviews because we're working hard on building up that section here and would appreciate the input

I only read a few reviews but I'm not noticing a date for the review. How recent or old are these? It's also interesting that almost everything is 4 stars and above.

I just checked it out, and I find it can be a source for some good interesting info, I find I like the multiple diner reviews of folsomliving. It's more like this forum where everyone gets a chance to have their say.

there's 2 spots you can do it:

1) here in our forums - the "unofficial" reviews. Chances are, the business you are looking for are already here. These reviews are not edited and are from everyone. Please add to this!

2) Our "official" reviews, like someone stated, are usually "good" reviews - meaning - if it's not listed, chances are we haven't found a favorable review yet and we don't want to bash the business.

You can also do reviews in our yellow pages, though I'm trying to find a better software to suit our needs. The one we have just doesn't cut it.

Well - any "official" review that give a place like BJ's a 5 star rating - for their "food" - isn't one I'd use to find restaurants. BJ's is fine to go out with the family and grab some processed - chain food - but there's no way it's a "5-star" restaurant.

Sorry . . .

We went to China House (a few doors down from Yogurt Delite) Friday night. We had not been there in at least a few years due to the deteriorating food, décor and service. We decided to give it a try and were very pleasantly surprised – the food was great (new menu), the décor is fresh and clean and our server was knowledgeable and friendly. We asked about all the changes and she said the restaurant had changed ownership. If you stopped going to China House for the reasons we did it might be time to give it another try!
