I had never been to this one and neither had my in-laws. They loved the quality and quantity of the food. My father-in-law has never eaten so much. He is usually an egg white and veggie omelette guy but he chowed four pieces of french toast, bacon, his two eggs and another of a different person. He loved it too. What happened to the individual sticks of candy that were sold by flavor?

Reviewed By tomwZ9838FY

I had been told this was a great place for breakfast and I have to agree. I dropped in one morning as a single and was seated quickly with a smile. I ordered the Meatstyle Scramble for $10 with three eggs over hash browns, it was very tasty and served very quickly as I wasn't there more than 45 minutes total. I also ordered the biscuits which were very flakey and good. Really glad I went. One note: the address is 310 N Dysart, not 8th Street as shown here. You can buzz right by it if you're not paying attention.

My husband chose this place for his birthday lunch with Our family, his parents and grandmother. We’ve never eaten here, but he wanted to try something new for the occasion. My in-laws and my husband’s grandmother arrived before we did. My father in law took his mother inside and gave the hostess our information as he entered. He stepped outside to greet us, then when we entered the restaurant, my husbands 88 year old grandmother was sitting on the floor, looking shocked. She had apparently sat between a bench and a chair, mistaking the empty space for a chair. The lobby area is so dark, she couldn’t see where she was sitting. The issue with that is that as we entered, the two teenage girl hostesses were just standing around chatting behind the desk, not even concerned about the elderly woman who had just fallen. Now we were all pretty upset about that, but she was still in good spirits. During this time, one of the hostesses asked my husband and I how many, we pointed we were all together (my father in law had already given them the information) and they asked again how many. Ok, 5 adults, 2 kids, they said it would be a 20-30 minute wait. Odd since there’s one half of the restaurant completely empty minus one or two tables with a couple of people sitting in them, but ok. Well we sit around waiting... and waiting... and waiting... four other couples/groups had come in and been sat (without having to wait) while we continued to wait. My children were getting restless and with no hostess in sight, we decided to leave and go somewhere else. We all left and a hostess followed us out with her arms raised yelling in an irritated manner, “you’re leaving? We just set up your table!” Yes, we’re leaving. The lack of care or concern of the front of house for our elderly grandmother who had fallen and their inability to seat us in a half empty restaurant in a timely manner has turned us all off and none of us will ever be back.

Texas Roadhouse

Reviewed By Ivyrosekitty

Filet tenderloin was grizzly and undercooked. Manager offered another which was nice. Felt that it was loud exceptionally in there, because the employees shout something out for patron's special occasions I guess. We find it a little much during dinner, as it's nice to enjoy a drink, a meal and conversation. Love the dancing and music, but the other "noise", is annoying.

Had filet mignon and it was excellent, cooked to perfection. My husband had a ribeye and he is extremely picky and loved it. Service was great and really a wonderful restaurant. Pricey but worth it.Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with us. It's so wonderful to read that we've left a great impression on you.

Having been a dining room waitress, hostess, supervisor and dining room manager in the past, but for several years, I noticed things like how well the kitchen staff gets along with the front staff and vice versa. Everyone is clean, neat and trim, and friendly. A very cohesive group of employees working together tonight. It's nice to have a meal in a place with good old fashioned nice, friendly service with good food.

This shop is great. They have the hands down best bagels anywhere. We love to ride our bike down and share a bagel. Sometimes we sit with our dog when cooler and they always bring out water for him. We recently went and it was super busy our order was actually not made correctly when they check on us i was like its ok it just wasn't toasted , they immediately brought us a new toasted one . They were so great in customer service. This is a must try for anyone new to the area. They never disapoint.

We are an authentic Cajun food restaurant. The owner is a Baton Rouge native with roots in New Orleans and White Castle Louisiana. Most people believe Cajun food is hot and spicy when in actuality Cajun food is all about the flavor. You will find that Fla

Reviewed By esprouls47

It is surprising to find a great Cajun restaurant in Arizona. Everything we have tried is excellent. During lunch it is counter order, but at night they have servers, but not enough of them. Service is rather slow and getting seated will take time even with empty tables especially on weekends, but it is still worth it for the food.
