Doesn't say much to me.  They got the winner right.  Why don't you explain just exactly what's wrong with the list?

Terry says,

When Romeo's first opened, my wife and I made many trips from Pflugerville down there because they were the greatest. Then, they went to pot so we quit going there.

By going to pot - I mean that the food became bland, the desserts were served partially frozen, the service was horrible, etc.

Before they went to pot, it was our thumbs-up favorite. Are you saying that they've cleaned up their act? If so, we'll try it again.
