    • Claude says:

      I disagree with you, because when do they know how to make tasty “Nachos” i will invite you for diner.

  12. imad fayed says:

    Roadster

  13. jounaid says:

    Roadster diner by far is the best diner in middle east. And the best customer service

  14. Tony Haddad says:

    Joumaid, in the middle east??? Excuse me, only in Lebanon u mean( not evennnnnnnn) hello, they closed 3 shops in a row in dubai, where as Crepaway is expanding fast in Lebanon and abroad.

    I will miss Crepaway menu in abc :( ((((( , i ll have to jump to sodeco.

    Go go go Crepaway.

    Sincerely yours, ur biggest fan, Stan.

  15. Sandra says:

    Crepaway, j’ ai envie d’ une magali, ouffff…

  16. Jad11 says:

    All in for crepaway…they have something called “Value” iits very important you see…at least when i go to crepaway and eat, I’m full…i dont feel im robbed of my money…but i think the lebanese have a thing for being robbed of their money…the more you rob them, the more they like you…

  17. tony hajj says:

    RD is the best

  18. sami costantine says:

    come as you are is the best place to be..crepaway

  19. mark says:

    Good byeeeeeeEeeeeeeeE crepaway from ABC and nshala 2ariban for all of lebanon.Roadster is the best crepaway sucksss

  20. Elie says:

    Dear all, I think that @ Roadster we can find the best service and best quality of food, and the cleanenst rest. in lebanon and when you are@ Roadster you will feel that you are a KING. Roadster Diner is the best.Gooooo RD

  21. Paul says:

    I do agree with you Elie at list we all know what we are eating because the best quality of food sure it is at Roadster.Roadster is the best and they will always be.keep up the good work

  22. Alain Khoury says:

    ur totally right tony haddad they close 3 branch and roadster is to expensive now , and when you ask whats the reason , there reply to maintain quality , come on guys , r u kidding , to maintain quality of pasta cost 1000 LL they sell it by 12000:). be realistic all please , and wake up lebanon ,with this expensive places ,

    • Claude says:

      Alain you look like a Manager mannn!!!!

      • Alain Khoury says:

        i’m not manager , i’m person who like to eat in a place to enjoy , and to visit it many times , not once per week or month , but even roadster or crepaway are expensive , quality for both good , i dont wanna tell you roadster better or vise versa, but all the lebanese restaurant should revise prices , if you go to roadster achrafieh , same place since 1o years even some team members, regarding prices now less , than before , since they open many branches they get better offer. can you tell me why a pepsi refill is 5000 LL , and cost only 120 LL

    • Nadine says:

      alain … sureeeeeeeeeeeee Roadster is expensive cz all of food and service is the best best quality that served to the customers, u know what u are eating there. food safety, food hyegine,best quality.

      • Alain Khoury says:

        thank you nadine for you reply , but before a person act , he should thing about a good reply , quality and hygiene is a must , and not additional for customer , so all restaurant should have it , and this is not an add value for customer.

      • Alain Khoury says:

        and , just an advise for you , if they are not doing a good money and profit from what they serve , how can they afford to open in ABC with a expensive place , and in hamra and city mall. wake up guy

  23. Pia says:

    You r right but if we want to visit a diner we will be sure of the quality and service ane hygine so be sure that we will go to Roadster Diner

    • Nadine says:

      all restaurent… hahahaha if they have a quality and hygine and food safety.the manager of crepaway should take the right action when he found a hair in the customer plate, he should change it not remove the hair and give the plate to the customer again. unacceptable
      tefouuuuuuuuuuu …. tefehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  24. Jimmy says:

    Best of the best”Roadster”

  25. Ayoub says:

    “Together for ever”

  26. mhamad reslan says:

    togother forever roadsterr !

  27. Najib H says:

    Opening many branches is not an advantage, anyone can sell franchise and open branches but the trick is managing them well… I’ve already said there’s no Crepaway branch like the other.. Abou 3arab for Ka3ek(no offense) is expanding rapidly as well :)
    And for those who are talking about value and the cost of pasta I say: Value is not in quantity only, it is mainly in quality and then in quantity!!… eating plenty of dry bread makes you feel full as well.
    Roadster is the cleanest, has the best customer service and the most delicious food not only in the region but in the whole world… Together Forever.. Roaaaadster

    • Tony Ferekh says:

      Najib, in the world? Ha2tak mech cheyif mata3im ya m3attar, la roadster wala man ya7zanoun, i vote for Crepaway, ka2anak btechtegil bi roadster mbayyan, good luck then…

  28. rola says:

    together forever sure roadsterrrrr diner:):):)

  29. Wissam says:

    I visited Crepaway and I had a hair in my chiken plater I told the manager about it he simply took my plater and brought it back after half a minute wich is he just took the hair from my plater and didnt even changed it some one tell me where is the custemer service? akeeeeeeeeed Roadster is better

  30. Jenny saliba says:

    Come on goshhhhh wissam, i had a hair in rd hamra, the manager said it s from the mushroom, as if i was a 10 years old kid,he was trying to convince me. Walawwwww machina…
    Crepaway, all the way…sorry Rd.

  31. Jessy ajem says:

    Rd for sureeee

  32. fouad says:

    actually it is from the mushroom :P check ur info again and dont talk about something u dont know its completely right i meen comeone u can easily differeniate between a human hair and a mushroom hair and besides even if it was a human hair the manager would have taken a corrective action and not bringing the plate in half a minute again!! no customer service is better than roadster diner

  33. mohammed mansour says:

    go road ster goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo road ster love together

  34. mohamad hajj says:

    Crepaway’s last days at ABC were like a disaster, I GOT MY DRINK AFTER I’VE FINISHED MY WHOLE PLATE (: WTF!!!!!
    Roadster’s service is WOW <3

  35. Sandy R says:

    The initial mistake was placing Roadster diner in comparison against crepaway, it’s like comparing a successful Super Star to an average amateur!
    One can see from the comments what Roadster’s fans value, namely quality, taste, cleanliness، customer service etc…
    And on the other hand one can realize easily the level of crepaway fans’ food and service knowledge and experience in addition to the only thing they value:quantity !
    Do me a favor Roadster’s fans, just ignore the emptiness of some of what have been said about our beloved Roadster diner because we’ll “come” to the new branch at ABC ashrafieh “as we are” and stay there “Together Forever”…

  36. Mary says:

    What about BK or Mcdo ?!

  37. rana says:

    Roadster ….. There goes your life savings. Eno come on you raised your prices and no improvement is shown. Shame!!!

  38. Ayoub says:

    Dear Jenny, let us be realistic. Is that a manager performance @ Crepaway? plz tell me where is the customer survice in that? Wissam plz tell us if there was any follow up for this case a phone call or somthing?

  39. dashoun says:

    i’m definitely an RD Fan.

    however, i go to other restaurant and i enjoy my stay.

    but one time at creapaway was more then enough for me to keep me away from them.

    i know that rd has higher prices in comparison with other restaurants, but when i go there i go for the good service, delicious and Hygiene food. i don’t go there for the quantity neither the prices.

    i know that i can get the huge quantity and the lower prices in a different restaurant but i keep those restaurant for the casual times, when i just want to get a fast dinner or launch or whatever.

    but if i want to enjoy my mean i definitely go RD

  40. Tarek El Chafei says:

    Roadster is by Far better than Crepaway when it comes to Food quality and taste as per my personal opinion, customer satisfaction is considered priority and always guaranteed, I vote for Roadster

  41. elierahme says:

    is it true that roadster is going bankrupt?? i herad they have 5 lawsuits pending. after they stole from eahc others and from people, they are now going to the judge

    • Tony Ferekh says:

      For sale rd for 16 millions , yala if you have them, buy it…hehehehe, let s wait and see who will buy this brand.
      Bye bye Rd..

      • Jack says:

        Ya Ferekh any clever businessman will be interested to buy such a successful company. If it is true what you said I wish i had 16 million.By the way, isnt it true that Crepaway got split up few years ago because of a fight between the owners. Go to Hell. Roadster is the best.

  42. Amal says:

    Crepeway is loosing taste and quality

  43. Wissam says:

    My friends no one like Roadster this the truth

  44. Rayan says:

    The truth is that maybe u do not have friends that know about restaurants hey what is ur opinion by the way we do not want to know what ur friends like. Roadster w basssssssssssssss.

  45. Claude Osta says:

    sorry crepaway fans , and with all my respect to you, 1. for the hygiene by fact, roadster number one . 2- service by fact roadster number one . “you find hair some time ” guys you should ask you self first , maybe this is from you ,why directly you dress your problem to restaurant and blame managers .3 prices everages both are equal . 4- customer service also by fact roadster number one. and don’t be happy if you win this vote , for the reason roadster team and managers are busy with customer service and not setting in the office create fake email to complain . and to vote. and kindly ask crepaway why they close in ABC. a big sign that they cannot afford that. that mean they are loosing customers . Roadster wish you good luck , and miss you all . From Dubai :)

    • rachel says:

      Roadster is and will always b the us!! Us the team members will always support! Thanks for everybody for their support and we still need more!!! We are definitely winners, even if by accident we don’t win the vote but you cannot hide the truth! We will always be the best! :D

      • Nadine says:

        Roaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadster doing WOOOOOOOWING things, so that they are the best, sooooo no comparison between them.

    • Tony Ferekh says:

      Says who?????? Hygiene??? Tell me wise guy? R u working with them or kind of manage there, it seems so, or u r a shareholder? Number one following which criteria? Tell me, the iso??? Iso 22000 is very wide, u cant pretend to have it unless u ll say iso on production,management, packaging, enough info for u, u ll get lost in dubai, hahahhahah, stay there on jbr or jumairai wait rd to reopen..good luck chuck, abc , i say good luck roadster u played it well.. All this poll is making me laughing , thx Gino

  46. Gino says:

    My dearest readers, the poll is being hosted on polldaddy’s website, which means I have no authority whatsoever over the results. Also, it is protected by both IP recognition and cookie, so it’s foolproof. However, loopholes will be obvious when i close the poll and will be adjusted for accordinly. So, please, stick to your one vote and don’t bother wasting your time reaching around it. Good luck to both types of food lovers =D

  47. some people need to chill and get a life :P no need to fight for restaurants!
    Gooo roadster though :P

  48. Jean Pierre says:

    I think this poll is very unfair.

    I kinda like both restaurants! but the problem is that i was actually able to vote for both from my PC.

    I voted for crepaway 1st. and then i voted for roadsters. i was able to do a few tricks on my computer in order for me to vote for roadsters. the 1st time i tried, i was told that my vote was already considered. but after a couple of tricks, i was able to vote for roadsters again.

    if i can do it i am sure many persons can do it too!!

    i think it’s a shame for 2 famous lebanese restaurants to be placed on this unfair level! it is not accurate or fair. i have been going to both restaurants for over 10 years!

    we should be proud as lebanese to have these 2 local brands, and we should praise them both!

    love crep away and roadsters!

  49. aram vartanian yes iknow crepaway is perfect more roadster but that is history at 1993 hitler also his a gratest men but at 1947 arjantin his a champion 1986 all of that (kel hol fa3el madi ) iyem el loulou but now ofcourse roadester is best (bala mounafs ) i think mounafs roadster asdika zaman

  50. Riwa says:

    Can someone pls tell me how Crepaway can be winning ?????I mean come on!!!! Are u crepaway lovers changing ur IP’s!!!
    See this is why we love roadster:) because it’s genuine…So genuine they know that we can cheat changing ip’s but chose not to do it
    Dear crepaway If u can’t be genuine in ur taste nor ur atmosphere at least be genuine in accepting defeat:))) Wein l rou7 l riyadiyé?
    And crepaway for the record: abc ashrafiyeh did not cry ,u might as well find another ad such as: so sorry to bother,okay we’re leaving:)))

    • Peter says:

      Riwa just because you prefer roadster does not mean that the whole lebanese community agrees with you. It is you who cannot accept defeat and cannot accept that other people have different opinions than yours. Crepaway has been in Lebanon a long time before Roadster existed, and it has its loyal customers ever since the opening date. Roadster is an excellent restaurant too. But please accept the results as they are and don’t be a typical lebanese sore loser who directly claims there is cheating in the results to justify your loss. Thank you

  51. Riham says:

    LOVE the new poll’s results so far :P

  52. LARA . N says:

    :D :D :D -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ROADSTER ROCKS -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ :D :D :D

    • Gemma says:

      it is because crepaway lovers just vote and leave…at the end of the day it’s not about the comments..it is the votes that count..u roadster fans are talking about crepaway as if it is your enemy…chill out ppl!!

  57. Mayo says:

    GRACEEEEEEEE “COME AS YOU ARE” CUZ WE’LL BE “TOGETHER FOREVER” ;) <3

  58. LARA. N says:

    Roasdsterrrrrrr goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo love youuuu

  59. LARA. N says:

    Morning Roadsterrrrr :)

  60. imad says:

    wake up guys roadsterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr is the best cant compare it with others :)

  61. Ayman says:

    i go to both but i prefer crepaway

  62. mhamad says:

    Gema mesh 7eje we know eno fe she mesh mazboot bl vote…read the cmnts and see wats ppl said abt rd and wat they are saying abt crepaway… Its not an enemy but u can’t compare ! Roadster is the best diner sorry its enough to visit crepaway one time and dnt come back again 4 a million reason ! But one visit to roadster attracts u to come back million time again !

    • Gemma says:

      This is your own personal opinion and does not necessarily reflect the majority. Again I say it is not about the comments. It is about the votes. But if your talking about comments, check out the comments on the results page (polldaddy). And it is not surprising at all to see that Crepaway has so many votes. At the end of the day, this vote will not affect either Crepaway or Roadster as it is the actual people who go there that do . And the fact that both of these restaurants still exist and have many branches proves that they are both successful. Being a Crepaway fan, I cannot say Roadster is bad because it is obvious that I’m being biased. A true objective vote and comment would acknowledge both good and bad, but unfortunately we, the lebanese people, always get carried away with everything even if it is a simple blog poll.

  63. Dutch !! says:

    guys Raodster already win without vote …. New Branch in ABC ashrafiyeh …. opening soon if the vote take crepaway that will not return them to ABC … and the problem is that how Roadster is replacing crepaway in ABC and Crepaway can’t replace Roadster in City Mall :p so akiiiiiid Roadster is the best ;) the results show it without vote

  64. Joseph Ch. says:

    The comments here prove only one thing: It’s not the political life in Lebanon that’s retarded, but the people themselves. Enno walaw, it’s a case of simple preference between two diners w 7awwaltoowa 3ala 7arb 2elgha2 w hablane.

    Sheddo 7alkon, seriously, you shouldn’t be this emotionally invested in a damn restaurant :P
    (Of course, this only addresses some of you)

  65. dod says:

    roadster roadster roadsterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr by farrrrrrrrrrr

  66. dod says:

    beside the food just try the sweettttttttttttttttttttttt profit rolllllllllllllllllllllll yummmyyyyyyyy

  67. Ramy Tayyar says:

    Dear crepaway fans, my sincere condolences for losing the one and only branch that was bringing some traffic and money :)
    Btw, Ashrafieh cried tears of happiness because both branches in and outside ABC are closing :) :) and this vote will not change those facts, and the fact that crepaway management put their franchisees’ investments at stake when they open franchised and not company owned branches in areas outside beirut. It’s a shame to play risk with others’ money.
    Bye Bye crepaway Bye… Ashrafieh is celebrating and eagerly waiting for Roooaaaaadsterrrrr :) :) :)

  68. Jenny Maroun says:

    yesterday I was in Roadster zalka, when I left it was full house with a cue, i passed by crepaway(that followed Roadster) and believe me it was nearly empty, a while ago I passed by creapway sodeco ya haram then intended to go to Roadster Nahar and it was full with terrace and a cue! Off to Hamra just passed by crepaway(that followed Roadster) again very few tables, and now I’m enetering Roadster Hamra to enjoy great lovely food and I have to wait, and it’s really worth the wait!
    in summary: seats speak louder than votes (10 to 1 or more)… Goooooo Roadster diner :) :)

  69. Ramy Tayyar says:

    Jenny, Shahhayteena.. Will go immediately to Roadster Zalka for the best genuine Nachos in town, the mightiest Mighty Chicken and a perfect Marbled Mudpie :) :) nshalla I don’t have to wait :(

  70. Sami C says:

    Mmmmm just finsihed a perfect dinner at Roadster City Mall … that Fit N Burger feels like heaven! :) more over it is light and no guilt feeling :) Keep it up Roadster diner.. Awaiting your new branch in ABC Ashrafieh :)
    p.s. I cheated after the light burger and shared the irresistable Oreo Sundea :)

    There’s no place like Roadster diner, it is uncomparable .. Together Forever..

  71. Nancy Kaii says:

    Bye Crepaway Bye…. OOOPS you forgot your sign guys in ABC ;) or is it you couldn’t believe that you’re replaced??

    GOOOOOOOOOO Roadster GOOOOOOOOO….

  72. George Khoury says:

    Guys where does this crepway you are talking about exist?!?!? ;)

    Akeed Roadster diner w bass >

  73. Rene Abdallah says:

    Walaw George?! If you know Roadster diner, you can find crepaway easily, le2anno they follow them every where they open! examples: Zalka, Hamra, Habtour w elkheir la2eddem!
    God bless you Roadster, Together Forever

  74. Jad Kh says:

    I vote for the best customer service in Lebanon and the region, I vote for friendliest atmosphere, I vote for the coolest staff especially in Hamra branch… together forever roadster !

  75. Lama Nassar says:

    yes you are right Jad… Roadsters are the pioneers in customer service.. all restaurants are imitating them in all service issues, it is very obvious but they cannot be genuine like Roadsters.. and the proof is many imitations are closing down or 3ambehawwo ;)

  76. Lamis says:

    are you guys serious?? crepaway is the best…everything ur saying is clearly biased.. goo crepaway

  77. yorgo says:

    crepawaaaay

  78. wissam says:

    I VOTE CREPAWAY <3

  79. Fadi Sleiman says:

    Whatever is said, Roadster remains the top diner in the country. Best service,superb food and greatest value once can receive for money paid!
    Lunch plan for today : the fabulous Buffalo Wings, the incomparable Mozzarella Stick and the irresistible unique Burger Quesadillas that one cannot find anywhere else… Looking forward :)
    Go Roadster,

  80. Ahmad Sabbagh says:

    Roadster is the best … Ya reit they open for sou7our in Ramadan.. Can’t wait for a nice Omelets and chocolate pancakes breakfast after Ramadan :)

  81. Dear Rd Lovers,

  83. Tony Ferekh says:

    To whoever wrote about Crepaway, of course using bad and unsignificant words, i proudly say, sorry guys, hard luck, i wont say names, u were many, so i ll be mean, just shut up together forever…ha ha ha , burn baby burn..there goes my life…votings.

  84. Unknown says:

    Crepawayyyyy….U R THE BEST :D

  85. chad chad says:

    Compared to the US roadster and crepaway both sucks regarding quality, variety and prices.

    In Lebanon the best is bobs easy dinner and you have to try the mushroom and swiss
    Crepaway vs Roadster. Roadster is the winner. Easy example, you can try the mozarella sticks and those of crepaway sucks. But nothing beats the ones in the US. In Lebanon it’s too expensive and for nothing.
