This store has cheap cigarettes in the Renton Highlands. It is located in a trip mall off Sunset and so there is plenty of parking. It's not the cheapest in the area but the service is good and they are always well stocked on a variety of cigarettes. They carry most major brands and some rare ones to satisfy every taste.

5 star nails offers a large selection of air brush designs to make your manicure unique. They have a lot of them displayed and you can choose from a variety of themes or they will custom make what you need. There can be a bit of a wait at times and they don't honor appointment times very well. Try and get there early. There is plenty of parking and the store is well marked and easy to spot.

Well what can you say about Wal-Mart that hasn't already been said? This one has a great location, if slightly hard to get into the parking lot though. The traffic coming off the freeway and into Renton makes it hard to get there sometimes. I can see why there's accidents around that store.
I like the layout of this store. I roll right into the Women's section to check out the clothes, and go further back to the baby and kids stuff. It's nice that they have a small freezer/food section now.
This store is always crowded no matter what time of day you go, because it's the only Wal-Mart until Auburn, and heaven forbid a Wal-Mart going anywhere near the Eastside! That would lower home values too much I think. ;-)

I didn't even think I liked Indian food until I stumbled upon Naan-N-Curry in downtown Renton (on 3rd St.). Wow! Everything on the menu is fantastic. The ambience is only 2 stars, but don't let that fool you because the food is 4 stars. It's relatively inexpensive - dinner for two will run about $20-$25.

As far as delivery pizza in Renton goes, this is the closest thing to Pagliacci's that I've found. In addition to a good pizza, they deliver sandwiches (which they call “grinders”), pasta, salads, calzones, and appetizers. The hot sandwiches and pastas are a little too heavy (read: greasy) for me, but the pizzas and the calzones are great. The calzones are huge, too- easily two meals. The desserts are also yummy but a little pricey.

In my search for the perfect Tuna Melt I found Opa Beppo's in Gene Coulon park. Okay, I was a little lost because of all the construction going on in that new apartment building complex and it really is a hole-in-the-wall. It's a good thing I love walking because I walked pretty far to find this place. I checked out their website and I found out they have Tuna Melt on the menu and I live pretty close to Coulon Park so I thought, 'what the hell' and went right in.
Interiors: It's cute... A little stand-offish but cute. I'm a big patron of The Met in downtown Renton so I have big expectations for Opa Beppo's since it's obviously modeled after the place. They have a wine cellar on the right side of the wall and this is when The Met versus Opa Beppo's start and pretty much end. Their wine cellar have "30% discount on this rack" signs all over them. So I thought... hmmm... a little too retail for me..
One thing I noticed is the cafeteria tables and chairs. They don't have couches which I would have expected them to have but just standard issue wood-crafted tables and chairs.
Food: The menu's pretty big. They have sandwiches on croissants and bagels which comes with a side of chips or potato salad (pretty good too), daily soup specials, appetizers and salads, pasties and dessert. When I went there last Wednesday they had Turkey and Provolone and Ham and Cheese Croissant on their specials board.
So anyway, I went in for the tuna melt. I had high expectations for their tuna melt because a year ago when I was working for an upscale retirement home my co-worker made the most amazing tuna melt in the history of all tuna melts. It was so simple too, tuna, tomato, cheddar melted on top of an english muffin but it was scrumptious.
I walked in, it took me a while to find the menu since it was tucked somewhere in the cash register but you can take it with you. I ordered the tuna melt (no half orders on this one!) with potato salad. They have self-serve water and a silverware station so I grabbed a huge glass of water and sat down.
The barista/server was a one-man show. He was quite busy too because people were walking in and out of the shop for their coffee orders (they have smoothies and frappuccinnos if you're into that kind of stuff...).
At last! My Tuna Melt. I took one bite of my potato salad, and thought, this is pretty good (red potatoes, celery, onions, mustard, mayonnaise). Unfortunately, whatever good fun i had with the potato salad ended with the potato salad. The tuna melt is served with swiss cheese and seeing no convection oven in the premises, I'm guessing the tuna melt was melted under the microwave (a huge no-no!). It was served in a bagel and the bagel was obviously not fresh. Good bagels aren't supposed to be wee bit rubbery and wee bit tough. The tuna meat itself was so bland I would be surprised if you told me I was eating tuna!
I was sorely disappointed with the food. The barista was oh-so friendly but not in an obnoxious, Victoria's Secret sales associate kind of way. It was a $7 lunch so I wasn't too pissed off. Sigh... the quest continues...

After working at Fish Gallery for almost a year I finally quit after realizing just how low this place will go. They do not care for their animals properly, they let sick animals die (usually by putting them in the freezer before they are dead) I have cradled a bird having a seizure, a rabbit dying because it wasn't eating, I even spent 1000 dollars trying to save a sick kitten they let sit in the back of the store (not to mention it was in the same cage as the other kittens going up for sale), if they had even bothered to notice it was sick it could have been saved. They illegally vaccinate their kittens and provide fake documents stating that they were seen by a vet. After I quit I bought a bird from the store, went on vacation and when I came back to pick up my bird they accused me of stealing it, they called the police and accused me of stealing a bird that I BOUGHT, and no the bird was never found, no they didn't bother looking, and no I didn't get my 400 dollars back. Another thing that happened is the owner ran out of money and started giving the employees checks that bounced. This place sickens me, the only reason the owner still has it is because he gets a tax write off, he is driving this store into the ground and I hope he does it fast for the animals sake.
