| - Look, I am not a Yelp Elite reviewer (although I probably should be) and I don't work for a magazine putting claims out there that a restaurant that just opened the doors it the new hot place in town and potentially lining my own pocket. Driving by Canters on the west side of town and looking in you would clearly see this is not the case. The restaurant is always quiet during dinner time and even lunch. Rarely do I see a lot of people in there, and we go by that location and area often because we frequent other locations in that area and outdoor mall...
After leaving my first review, I had received a reply from the owner of the location, as you can see telling me about the quality of the meats, the cuts, this and that, blablabla...then i received a PM a week or 2 later inviting me to come down and go over my ideas of the place, free meal on the house. So i have been thinking about it, and decided actually to go there again without letting them know I was going in, when i had the time or was in the area and just see how it is going since my last review and many more negative and positive reviews.
So anyway, went back there and thought about it and right before i went in this time I picked up the phone and called Canters in LA (located on Fairfax and Beverly-ish) and I asked the guy that answered the phone if the Canters in Las Vegas was the same as the one there in LA and his reply...NO, WE ARE NOT RELATED TO THE CANTERS IN LAS VEGAS THEY ARE JUST A FRANCHISE... nothing more. In fact this guy has gotten plenty of these calls also, so I was not the only one asking about this. Just a Proof of concept to see if a franchise would work out. The guy also told me they support them with the food or concept and that is it, nothing more than a franchise. More than likely a idea or agreement to see if it would work doing a franchise like Pinks did, or some of the other LA hot spots have tried...
After hearing it was a franchise, that was pretty much that, i just kept on driving.
I really don't get it. why do you insist on telling people you're the same as the one in LA, same owners, same this and that when your renting the name? Look, not all franchises make it, not all franchisees know what they are doing. It happens. Just stop making these fluff up stories that LV Canters is the same as LA canters because it's not. It is just the name.
When a McDonald's opens up on a corner, it more than likely is not the same as the one 2 miles away. Nor are 2 subway's a like. Point is again, just because you rent the name Canters does not mean you are Canters.
So, just to clarify I will NOT be going back there for my free meal or even to spend some money to buy a sandwich. A little individualism goes a long way with me, especially when it comes to being a restaurant owner. Do it under your own umbrella, don't drag Canters' name through the dirt to try and win some of their LA customers that visit or relocated here.
And since I can't reply to "business owners" comments on my posts, please don't bother replying to this update/post. Doing so with a copy and pasted msg is just making you guys look foolish. Hell, you're even replying the same message on reviews that have nothing to do with your reply. Not professional, not classy. Just rookie stuff all around.
