No longer dining at Big Kahuna’s in Farragut
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. WILL NOT GO BACK. DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT from Big Kahuna in Farragut!! I ordered food to pick up on a Friday night about 5:15pm and it was a cluster "problem" with the food AND the manager, ". The server could not have been kinder or, seemingly, more efficient. The problem appeared to occur in the kitchen.
1. The wings were not all the way cooked! Gross!
2. We did not get the correct sauces OR number of sauces ordered!
3. The green salad was packed under the HOT wings and was wilted!
4. We did not receive ANY salad dressing!
5. The Kale Slaw was packet above the HOT wings and was Extra WARM when we opened it.
6. The Kale Slaw was EXTRA SPICY tonight and was mixed incorrectly!
SO, I called back and spoke with the PM Manager, who barely listened and tried to rush me--but apologized and said he would give me a credit. I would RATHER have received a new, CORRECT order, but he was very rushed so I knew they were busy. So I said that's fine. The next day a $5 credit showed up on my bank card!!! Not $49, but $5.00!!!
INEXCUSABLY POOR ATTITUDE, FLIPPANT and DISRESPECTFUL, NIGHT MANAGER REGARDING THE HORRIBLE FOOD AND ENTIRE EXPERIENCE!!Show lessMsharptn
What a shame
This is a typical crowdsourcing app, similar to Waze, where it use to be a fun game and the company used the game to get end users to enter in information about different venues. Then took all that data that YOU end users provided for free and now uses that data as the “product” that they offer back. Completely removed the game aspect and makes the app useless. Unless you don’t mind them further data mining you.
They definitely sell their data to third party companies because when Foursquare was a fun game, I made a house into a venue and labeled it a bar and it still shows up as a bar in Snapchat Maps. So shameful.Show lessWonderskill2000
New version with lists is horrible
As a 10+ year Foursquare user I’m truly in disbelief about the overall functionality in the latest version, which makes it almost impossible to manage lists (the primary feature/use of this app for me and most dedicated users). Why do I have to click a million buttons to add something to a specific list now? Why does it immediately add it to my Saved Places rather than giving me the option for which list I’d like to add it to as it did before? Why do lists no longer show the number of places you’ve been to on a list? I’m so confused. One of the most illogical and user un-friendly updates to almost any app I’ve ever used.Show lessDescoLogan
Looks horrible now
10+ year Foursquare/Swarm user here. It’s a given that the apps are way past their peak. It’s ok that the company has long pivoted and found a way to be profitable without having questionable privacy policy (hello Google and other big tech names!) and managed to remain independent. But at this point it honestly seems like they want to make the app worse? The last updates to Foursquare have been really unfortunate. The venue view seems like it’s one big white screen, with no clear division between different sections (maps, reviews, buttons etc.). Lousy UX and readability. I know anything that is not B2B and profit-making has long gone in the back burner for the company, but that was so uncalled for. Just bring back the old looks. Cheers to the team, as I truly respect this company!Show lessmouraq
Developer Response
We are sorry to hear about your bad experience. Please make sure to direct any issue to our Support team so they can assist you. The contact form can be found on the following link: 4sq.com/AppSupportBad usability in new update
The new design update has really made finding tips and photos unpleasant and difficult. Pages of all white blocks with no separation of sections. Harder to add tips and tag photos. Example of bad redesign: the “what’s popular here” section removed photos associated with key words, un-bolder the key words and the clickable section of the box is only the bottom 4th. Really bad user design compared to previous version and added nothing new of value to justify change. I’m a long term tip leaver and user of the app.Show lessRizzleDz
Classic pizza III Resturant
Great food. I have eaten there many times and had good experiences. Went last nite with family after grandsons concert nearby. We all enjoyed it. Ordered pizza, salad, gyros and drinks. Pizza was tasty and excellent ( Greek MA style). Gyros were large and so tasty that kids ate them all to the last bite. Salad had lots of veges n good sized. Great service from the two girls at counter and the owner chef made sure we got the food exactly as we wanted. Friendly service n good food with decent prices what more can you want? Visit soon? We will again.Show lesshhager2

Obsolete data + Superuser(?) frustration
Developers haven’t replied to reviews in two years so I’m leaving this for fellow users and prospective ones. The quality of the reviews used to be the most reliable and 4SQ was my go-to app to find good places during my frequent travels, but the reviews are now dated and the data on new places and closed places is severely lagging: perhaps if users were more motivated to contribute, as in my case.
Yelp is too full of fake reviews and reviews by clueless users who rate everything 5 stars. Google ratings are unreliable because of inflated 5 star reviews and rancorous 1 star reviewers. Apple Maps just recently started collecting ratings (but no actual reviews), which is promising. Foursquare used to be the best, but no longer.
Despite having used 4sq for over 10 years, left 600+ tips, uploaded 700+ photos, achieved 20+ different “expertises”, and made 1000+ edits & corrections, I find it annoying to be stuck at superuser level 1 when I see other users with noticeably fewer contributions who sit at higher levels of recognition. I find I get a lot more reward for a lot less activity as a Google Local Guide, despite presumably competing with a much larger population there. It just seem like Foursquare is not very invested in its users.Show lessmarchetype
Lobby
If the lobby is open, I give it a 5. When only the drive through is open, I give it a two. The last few times I’ve gone, wanting to sit inside, I ride a motorcycle, the lobby has been closed. I ask why, there’s only 3 of us. If three can’t run that place, then you may as well close. If I can’t sit in the lobby anymore, I’ll take my business elsewhere.

Needs Updating
I manage a restaurant in East Lansing, and For Square has made our lives very difficult. The menu is extremely old, doesn’t have correct information, and when I try to change it, I can not log in. If you want people to use your app, you should reach out to the establishments you have listed, not just pick some old menu on the web from 15-20 years ago. Very inaccurate information. Wish you would delete us to avoid further confusion for customers calling us!Show lessMG6160
