Can I give less than 1 star?\nThe worst service you can possibly imagine from the bar staff. \nPoor ventilation and an all around miserable time. \nThe few people, an I mean few, who actually seem to care about there jobs are highly overshadowed by the majority of people working there that play a favorite or two and let you wait 30 minutes for a drink!\nStay away if you actually want to have a drink.

I read through the other reviews and I have to say... I'm a little shocked. My experience was great! Both bartenders working were absolutely fantastic! The renovations are great and this place is much more updated and fun. The beer selection is great too which is always a plus in my book. Much better selection than the sister companies of PT's and Sierra Gold. Lots of TV's for sports fans and excellent food as well. Try the Jalape\u00f1o Sliders... They are superb. And they have excellent Tots! Need I say more?

1

What bartender tells a paying customer what he/she should and shouldn't drink without me asking. Then when I order a drink and he doesn't approve it. he won't get it for you and let you set there.

2

First time here since becoming Sean Patrick's. An \"Irish\" bar playing country music. Don't expect to get served quickly unless you're at the bar gambling. Won't be back.

2

Stopped in to watch some football. It was so cold it was terribly uncomfortable to sit there. We ordered food so no choice but to wait for it. The fry bucket was ok (how can you mess up fries). The quesadilla was super bland. The guacamole was horrible. The worst part was their gambling criteria. Me and my husband both put in $20. Then I put in an additional $20. Only 1 comped beer ..., WHAT!?? Really ?!?!? I will NEVER gamble there again. What the hell is \"handle\"?

2

Food horrid, service was ok.\n\nEven though it was comped from my play at PT's I wouldn't eat here again.\n\nI was told that they make everything, yeah right out of a can it was horrible and for 9.00 you can get something out of a can for $0.50 that would taste better at Smith's just down the street.\n\nOh well lesson learned.

New store,laid out very nice,friendly people.But like they say one bad apple.My bad apple was Blake (customer service ctr)who went out of his way to be a jerk!! My disabled son and I had just spent 150.00 and were heading to the car when my son remembered he was out of cigarettes,so I told him to go back and get them while I load the groceries.Well even though he is 35 he had forgot his ID and BLAKE wouldn't sell them to him.So I go back inside to get them and explained to BLAKE that Mike was 35 and to please give me the cigs as I am 60 and have my ID.BLAKE refused saying \"now that I know you are buying for him I won't sell to you\".So I had him call a Mgr over who told BLAKE to sell me the cigs and BLAKE still refused.This was insane and senseless and ruined my experence.I explained to BLAKE that he was just being an ass but he seemed to disagree.So my advise is if you go to the Customer Service Ctr avoid BLAKE as he is an egotistical jerk.

1

3 baggers congregating around check out, only one bagging. Talking amongst themselves about the lack of cashiers. Ignoring us completely till it was time to pay. Manager stood close by and said nothing.

4

I'm a Harris Teeter guy, but Publix wasn't that bad. The location was extremely clean and unlike HT, each team member I encountered made sure I found what I was looking for. It was immaculate. I loved the signage indicating foods from different cultures and although I can't fully appreciate the entire deli bakery because I don't eat much of what they serve, it was very clean.

3

Not too impressed with our first visit. The french dip was luke warm and the chicken was rubbery. Our server had a great attitude and good effort but unfortunately she had no training. Management needs to stay on top of this and get the cooks, servers and bartenders properly trained. The last restaurant in this spot failed for the same reason: lack of management. Restaurants can't run themselves.

1

I get that the restaurant is new, but I walked in at 7:28 AM for breakfast. Saw several customers seated and waiting for a server or food or something. Waited to be seated. Waited. Got a couple smiles from seated customers who were sharing my experience. Waited a bit more. Not an employee in sight. Walked out at 7:38.\n\nI'll probably give them another chance. But not this week.

5

I have eaten here 4 times--2 lunches, 1 dinner and 1 breakfast. I have had the pulled pork (excellent flavor), the AZ burger (wonderful with a touch of spice from the green chilis), the pork shanks with marmalade sauce (out of this world) and huevos benedictos with chorizo and chipotile cream sauce (excellent with a nice back bite of spice). The service has been great everytime. I am so glad this place opened in Goodyear.

2

Came for lunch 10/17. Not busy at all yet been sitting for almost 10 min and not even greeted by a waiter/waitress. Expect more from a new restaurant. Don't even care about the food at this point. With service this poor not likely to come back. The food was okay but nothing special. The cole slaw was the shredded cabbage mix that can be bought at a grocery store with a watered down bottled standard dressing. Nothing that we need to have again

2

Good food and good happy hour menu and prices. If you are a party of 5 or more you are gonna wait a very long time to be seated. We also waited a long time for our food.

5

Had a great time last Thursday! Very nice service & manager made a point of coming over and checking in. Great food - the ribs were wonderful! Thank you.

3

We have eaten there twice. The first time for dinner - pastrami and a spicy chicken sandwich with fries. The beer was served in a 32 oz mason type jar - hubby was happy with size and price. They have happy hour everyday not just weekdays. This morning went for breakfast we didn't wait to be seated either time and our server came over within 5 mins. The staff was busy, but everyone seemed to be happy and willingly to help out. They were friendly. We had better service this morning over dinner seemed like maybe the family was there to help not sure. Everything seemed to be made there so we'll be back as they get settled in.

5

Upon walking in the first think in noticed was the Pledge of Alliance proudly displayed on the wall. After being seated and having ordered from very polite, I took my time looking around and everywhere is some form of patriotic saying. I also saw a prayer on the wall. I felt the American Pride, American love, American respect. How was the food? I had the standard eggs and hash browns. Good food nothing fantastic. Will I come here again? If I'm in the west valley, Yes! Good service, good food, and love of country. One can't go wrong.

4

This was our second trip here this time for breakfast. It is nice to go to a place where you can have a Bloody Mary or Greyhound with your Omelette. Service was pretty good, no issues there.\n\nHad a 2 egg AZ and a short stack and didn't eat dinner till 8 pm. Everything so far has been pretty good, will come back occasionally unless it changes for the worse.

3

Went to dinner last night. My dinner came out wrong but it did taste good. I got the sun-dried pasta with Shrimp. Disappointed that there were only 4 shrimp in it. I had ordered the pasta with chicken. I'd say that it's ok. The servers need a little training to not say the soup is \"gross\".

4

Had a great breakfast here last weekend. Hadnt been there before. Eggs Benedict was pretty good and my husband had the Haymaker Benedict, wow what a great plate of food. He loved it! Service was great! Lots of tv's around for watchin Sunday football. Will definitely go back for lunch and dinner. Oh and FYI kids under 10 eat free on Wednesday with purchase of regular entree...

2

The food was edible and could have been a lot better. Typical bowling alley French fries and a bland dry tasteless \"cardiologist\" burger. Has potential but there is nothing special. My main gripe with this place is the beer situation. Anytime I go somewhere and they actually have good craft beer in excited. This place has good beer. But no one there knows anything about it. There is no rotating tap list so you have to be in the bar or walk over there to see what's on tap, the server had no idea. Also you can't serve every beer in a mason jar. I get that it goes with the theme but it's dumb.

2

Not great. Pretty bland. Food was cold. Hardly anyone here. I'd probably give it another try, but the prices were a bit high for so little flavor.

1

Marginal to say the least!! Been to other Haymakers and was very satisfied. This on the other hand left me wanting for service and my food. This may be a new restaurant but when I opened restaurants, the employees didn't make false excuses for food not coming with the rest of the party. We admitted a mistake and tried to make my customer happy. Everyone was mostly through the meal when I received mine,when the waiter said \" It takes a long time to make these\". REALLY? Fish Tacos! Give me a break. I could have flown to Missouri, caught the Catfish and flown back while waiting. I won't be back.

3

Food was good, pricing was reasonable, and our server's attitude was awesome. She was however, not very knowledgeable on the ingredients in the food. She talked us into getting the \"double down \" option on our already huge burger. She said it was double of all the meat on the burger, turns out we paid about $4 to just get an extra hamburger patty.... we expressed disappointment at the price, and while she apologized, nothing was taken off the bill.... I would recommend this place make sure their servers know the menu frontwards and back, so customers are not given wrong info.... otherwise, food was good and environment was fun.

1

Food not great, took forever to get food then it came out cold. Service is below average and then the waitress messed up on our tabs and it took over 30 mins to get it sorted out. Not a place to right home about!

The long awaited DT Summerlin is finally here! Some of my all time favorite shops include Sephora, BCBG Max Azria, Sur La Table, Lush, Lululemon and Ethan Allen! The decor is absolutely stunning, has a very California-like atmosphere. There are a few beautiful scenic areas as well that have waterfalls, Painted Wings for photo opps, and beautiful hand laid brick. The restaurant row is nothing short of breath taking as well. Some of the resteraunts include Wolf Gang Puck Bar and Grill (opening at the end of October) Crave, California Pizza Kitchen, Andiron Steak and Sea (Same owners as Honey Salt and Made LV) Grape Street, and Earl of Sandwich. \nDowntown Summerlin is truly the new Summerlin hotspot. I really believe this has brought so much to our community and will continue to grow. I havent been to the movie theaters yet but ive heard they're amazing, Luxury type of theaters!

4

Don't count on your GPS to find this place. Just know that it's on 215 and Sahara by Red Rock Casino. They just opened so many restaurants and stores are still \"coming soon\". They have festivals and all sorts of festivities due to being newly-opened. It looks very promising. \n\nFood trucks on Eat Street, Lululemon, Dillard's, Macy's, House of Hoops, Michael Kors, Sephora, Sports Authority, Trader Joe's, True Religion, Forever 21, Foot Locker, Victoria's Secret, Sur La Table, Teavana are some of the stores that are open. Crave, Crazy Pita, Capriotti's and Sushi Loca as well as sold fast food places are open if you get hungry.\n\nThere seems to be ample parking, however, there are traffic directors and stop signs on top of senior drivers, bikers and pedestrians that made my drive out of this place a nightmare. I'll come back when more stores and restaurants open.

2

Why have a grand opening when 1/2 the stores and most restaurants aren't open? This long, anticipated event was a little disappointing, sure I knew it was another outdoor mall smack in the middle of the desert, but I was just sad that the same old mall shops, nothing new to make me want to brave the heat next July. I think I am spoiled from too many years of living in CA, Vegas shopping just stinks, Downtown Summerlin is nothing new. Will keep my shopping trips in CA.

5

Waited so long for this! It did not disappoint! I love the layout.. And that it is an outdoor mall. Dillard's and Macy's were beautiful!! So many different stores and more to come! I love the new Trader Joes store! Apple will be coming there along with Nordstrom Rack.. There's Old Navy, Sports Authority, a Regal 5 Luxury movie theatre!!! And so much more! I didn't shop so much.. Just soaked up the atmosphere. Great Job Summerlin!!

1

Very Bland! There is nothing outside of Trader Joe's that I would go back for. All the anticipation Epic Fail! I was hoping this place were nicer on the grounds Town square has you beat as far as astetics.

2

Like Eric, nothing besides Trader Joe's will see me there. For everything else, I'll stick with Tivoli, Town Square and Fashion Show Mall. DS is just a concrete industrial zone. No way anyone will walk from one end to the other like we do in Town Square... not at all the \"village\" feel and look I was expecting. You will need your car each time you want to go from one end to the other.... yes their shuttle is also like taking your car + plus the wait.

3

who was the genius who made one entrance and exit off sahara blvd. by a light, an inconvenient way to get in to such a huge mall.\n\nif there would be any incidents where people have to evacuate they'd never make it.

1

I know my viewpoint is unpopular, but this place just missed the mark. I'm having a hard time understanding why people are raving about it.\n\nAs others have noted, it's poorly laid out, unattractive, and VERY difficult to access. Maybe it's because I'm from California that these things stand out. I notice many of the other similar reviewers are from California. But why make the place so hard to get to? From the entrances to the roads to the place itself, it's not an easy navigation. Maybe other people are OK with spending lots of time on trying to navigate a mall, but that's just not a priority for me I guess.\n\nIt will be interesting to see over the long term if parking is adequate. And that brings up another Californian point. In our state, a facility such as this cannot be built unless it proves it has adequate parking and access!\n\nAnyway, the shops are the same ole, same ole. Nothing exciting here. If you like the loud music and fashion thing, it could be fun for you. But keep in mind that many of the shops and restaurants advertised for this location are not open yet. Some aren't even built. Also, keep in mind that Downtown Summerlin is not trying to attract a high end customer. I assumed they would, given the location. My first indication that assumption was incorrect should have been that Nordstrom chose to build a Rack rather than a full store in Downtown Summerlin.\n\nThe one bright spot is Trader Joe's. As long as the Sahara entrance, which is closest to the store, becomes regularly accessible, it should be an easy in and out for my favorite grocery chain. I'm very excited to have another Trader Joe's on the Summerlin side of Vegas!\n\nMaybe this desert concrete jungle will improve over time as landscape grows in and other stores open. Who knows. But it's not likely to ever score high on my list just because of its feel and energy - which is partly a result of the layout and design. For now, I'll stick with classy Tivoli Village.

I was at Downtown Summerlin for the official grand opening celebration. It was fine, but a bit disorganized. No crowd control because all of the security people were huddled in one area enjoying the night instead of doing their jobs. And the fireworks went off directly above us, allowing ash to get all over our clothes, hair, and in our eyes (and it was not windy... so I guess they didn't really think the placement of the fireworks). We didn't get a special glow bracelet that was synchronized to the music and fireworks. The reason? They ran out. They were giving people 2-3 bracelets each when all you needed was one. Oh, except for the one kid I saw with 5 of them. Think people... these will only work again if somehow you know how to program them.\n\nI have been waiting for this center to open for years. Overall, I was a bit disappointed with the lack of flow from one section to another. One area, the \"plaza\" section (Trader Joes, Sports Authority, etc) seems out of harmony as it butts up to the \"mall\" section (Dillard's, Macy's, inner mall stores). And a lot of the stores were not ready for the grand opening, so they will be opening at a later time in waves.\n\nMaybe I will update my review when the project is finished.

5

Just what Summerlin needs!! It's like the Fashion Show Mall and Town Square had a baby!!\n\nEven though the mall is not at full occupancy, we enjoyed the stroll down the streets, window shopping, and enjoying the beauty that Las Vegas offers off the Strip. Parking was convenient and free; they have street parking, garage parking, and lot parking, all around the mall. A great place to catch a movie, grab lunch or dinner, and just hang out with friends while doing some shopping. Restaurants are all around the mall and the stores there are definitely a hit. No need to go on the Strip or all the way to Town Square. We love it!! Absolutely beautiful, you do not feel like you are in Las Vegas!\n\nWe do wish there were other anchor stores but we'll take what we have for now. Can't wait for the expansion!!

3

Avoid in the next month or so as Christmas and the holidays approach us! We should have known the first weekend it was open of would be hoards of people there. I can only imagine how hott this place will be once summer hits because it is an outdoor mall with plenty of walking between stores. If you are looking for a specific item or store I suggest looking up on a map prior to coming so you can park nearby as the layout is a bit cumbersome to understand. \n\nDecent stores and a wide variety of places to visit or eat at but we wont go out of our way to visit.

3

If you want something to eat, wait until November to visit, as current dining options are extremely limited. I like the layout and design, and as far as the stores being the usual suspects, it may not be realistic to expect anything else at this point in our economic recovery. It's just nice to have it open. I'm giving 3 stars because more restaurants should be open. More later...

4

What a perfect Sunday evening to enjoy the newest gathering place in the LV. When this place is 100% it will be pretty fabulous for sure. I would guess this Howard Hughes Corp project is about half completed as of this review. The food and beverage establishments are something we have all seen before. I am most anticipating the arrival of Cafe MTO. It looks to be about 60 days away but who knows.... I am not in construction. \n\nThe property managers have spared no expense on all the details of this shopping center. The many fountains and seating areas will be well used during all of the two seasons of Las Vegas weather. Get out here and enjoy what is currently open at Downtown Summerlin and make sure you get your favorite bottle of wine from the Trader Joe's.

3

Downtown Summerlin just looks like a newer version of the North Premium Outlets. Period.\n\nThe aesthetics of this place is very underwhelming considering it being in Summerlin. None of the stores are original since you're able to find similar stores at The Fashion Show and Town Square but DT Summerlin fails in creating that feeling of wanting to go back.\n\nAt least lifestyle malls such as Town Square and The District were designed properly to create that feeling that you're not in Vegas. Both malls also have different stores giving you a reason to go back. DTS just reminds you that everything in Vegas is somewhat cookie cutting and boring- which is something we all wanted to steer away from.\n\nI'll be back for Trader Joe's and Nordstrom Rack though. Whoever contracted and designed the Fashion Show Mall should take initiative and take over DTS creating a better outdoor version of the mall. Wouldn't that be cool?

3

Place is absolutely beautiful. They spent a lot of money building this new mall. I think the stores are lacking being in Summerlin I figured the higher end stores would be at this location, so all of us locals can avoid the strip! Maybe in due time!!!

3

It's going to be nice when its done! love the out door mall idea. The westside needed this. Cant wait to enjoy the finished product.

5

Downtown Summerlin is an exceptionally cool place to walk around, shop and eat at. Not everything was open yet when we checked it out on a warm Sunday afternoon, but you could already feel just how cool it is there. Definitely worth checking out.

3

So Downtown Summerlin isn't really downtown in the usual sense of the word and really is just a shopping district. \n\nThe good thing about this place is there are a few cool department stores, more dining options in the area, and a new luxury theater. Currently, not every tenant is open and ready, though it's growing every week with openings. \n\nI went prematurely when only Macy's and Dillards were really the only things open, and we just kinda drove around to see what's building. Then I went a week after the \"grand opening\" with a few friends before dinner and we walked around and I got a better feel of the place. One of the things I don't like is the layout in places just is disjointed. \n\nSo on the west end (by Sahara) is this large shopping area with the shops on the perimeter of the square and right in the middle is a parking lot, then you can walk to the other stuff by walking on the side of Dillards to get down to the other shopping streets. If you are driving to a specific thing, I suppose that's fine, if you're walking then maybe plan on having a long walk if you have stuff to see on one end to the other. \n\nOne odd thing was when we went, we were struggling to find a coffee house.We were thinking that it seemed like a natural fit to have a few beverage stops, but none were found or no signs we noticed of any coming soon when we walked the main drag of Dillards and Macys area. \n\nIt has potential for a few things to stop at, but this place is gonna suck like all our outdoor malls come summer as the nice lovely lanes means - no shade. When are we gonna learn to make something desert summer friendly?\n\nEIther way, I'm happy for a Nordstrom Rack and TJ's since we don't have that many in town and Im counting down until Gelato Messina opening.

1

This mall was incredibly disappointing. The Macy's store is not nearly as nice as the one at Fashion Show or even the one at Meadows Mall. The Dillard's had clothing that was old and boring (BTW, I am 57 years old) and the general layout of this place sucks. I predict this place will be a ghost town within 6 months.

2

I had high hopes for DTS especially given the interesting offerings available in Tivoli when it opened. My hopes diminished as I looked at the names of the restaurants and stores which were going to open on the property but I held out until I could actually visit. I have since been their twice and am comfortable enough to say that DTS is simultaneously a great disappointment for me but a need filler for Summerlin.\n\nWhy is it a need filler? Prior to opening, the nearest place to visit the stores such as Macy's, Dillards, Old Navy, Sephora, etc was Meadows Mall and Fashion Show. Now, local Summerlin residents can have a convenient location to shop.\n\nThats where the good ends. From the moment I entered off of Sahara and drove through the winding passage to get to parking I noted both the lack of signage and the minimal exit pathways making it a nightmare during crowded hours to get in and out safely and quickly. Granted, after a few more weeks the crowd will be smaller but still, it stinks of bad planning.\n\nNext, there was absolutely no way to know where anything is from the Parking area with the exception of Dillards. In fact, had I not read up on the place, I would never of known it was anything more than a strip mall with Dillards as the centerpiece. \n\nWhen you finally do wend your way around to the outdoor mall it is notable that the main section of the mall is utterly boring and devoid of interesting decor. There is a section near Crave which is by a water feature that seems entirely out of place but does make for a nice place to relax. \n\nThe restaurants and stores which are open are entirely generic, wolfgang puck's has an unimaginative menu, CPK and Capriottis are available all over town, CRAVE has potential and I will try it soon but beyond that it has nothing to distinguish itself from any other mall.\n\nThe REGAL theaters have the reclining seats but there are only 5 theaters so finding the show you want will be hit or miss.\n\nThere are several other establishments set to open in the next few months and entertainment oriented ROC Resto and Fashion could make things interesting. I will definitely update the review then.

2

Sure I can write a review now or I can write a review later. Ah I'll just write an update later. Ok so its been open close to a month now and a good number of businesses aren't even open. All you see is nothing but \"coming soon\" signs with a lot of the businesses no where near of opening. Why even open up!? I don't even know. Anyways to keep track of what businesses are open and not here's their directory. Hopefully they keep it up to date http://downtownsummerlin.com/directory\n\nAlong the NE part of this shopping center, YES a shopping center not an actual \"Downtown\", there's what they call the \"Dining Arroyo\" which has a nice water feature and spacious area to sit and relax from all the shopping and walking around. There's a few restaurants in that area like MTO Cafe, Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill, California Pizza, and Crave. Here's a couple of pics from the Dining Arroyo I'm facing west, notice how they fail to utilize the beautiful view of Red Rock Canyon and the mountains around. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/downtown-summerlin-las-vegas?select=a9d15FZhhi3tlpP4inH82g#a9d15FZhhi3tlpP4inH82g http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/downtown-summerlin-las-vegas?select=a9d15FZhhi3tlpP4inH82g#slSZgd8v5pEPy7WeCmvtRA All I can say is I hope Lazy Dog Restaurant and Bar, which is the NW most business not yet ready, considers having some outdoor patio with this view in the plans.\n\nAs it goes for parking, you have options, there's a couple parking garages, parking along the streets right in front of various businesses, parking lots all around, and a couple vallet areas. There's also the option of walking from the casino which isn't a short walk as I hoped. If you've been to Green Valley Ranch or the District in Henderson it not that where you can just walk a few yards and you're there.\n\nIt's a shopping center what else can I say about it. It has restaurants, clothing stores a movies theater. It's like they took some of the good features about the other shopping centers around the valley and tried to put it into one. Well there's a Nordstrom rack, Trader Joe's, Five Guys Burgers, Sur La Table, Regal, and Victoria's Secret so it's not a total bust.\n\nOf course I was very excited when I heard about the plans for Downtown Summerlin but as of right now I don't know, I guess I just have to wait until they're really truly open for my business, in a few months. It has potential.\n\nAnd as I think I mentioned in my tip. Enter and exit from the northern streets near Charleston, seemed like most people were using Sahara.

2

All these years I've been waiting for a Mall of America and this crap is what we get? Went on opening weekend then again last week. It's still too crowded for an ANOTHER outdoor mall. Just a few blocks from home to shop at Trader Joe's is a plus. Nordstrom Rack was outrageously expensive and crowded so I didn't purchase anything. Old Navy had some OK deals. I don't know anybody that shops at Dillard's or Macy's anymore but Grandma's or those conned into getting their store cards. \n\nI would like to visit the Wolfgang Puck restaurant but it wasn't open yet either time I was there. I was excited and had high hopes for this \"Mall\" but it's meh at best. \n\nI don't envision it being this busy next summer, I won't brave the heat for any of these stores. I'll go to Meadows or Fashion Show Malls instead. I love not having to drive more than a mile to shop but wish they had chosen better stores. Sur La Table is a plus and good alternative to Williams-Sonoma across from Boca Park. Rumored Apple store will be more convenient. \n\nIt's just okay. I hope it gets better. I'll update later when they open everything.

2

Stay away from the Victoria secret here! The people working there are supper rude, I waited in line for 20 min to be informed that there was only one line and I had to wait more. The woman who informed me of this was looking right at me and even made eye contact several times in the 20 min I was standing there but failed to mention that I was in the wrong line. I asked her why she didn't say something sooner and she said she wasn't lying attention.... Unacceptable!!! Wake up lady!

4

Nice new place to shop, need more food places (which they are currently putting in) just I would have had some in place for people to have lunch or dinner in. There are only like two - three when I was there! Great shops though!

3

On Wed. 12/3 a friend & I had lunch at Calif. Pizza Kitchen until 2:00. The service was terrific & so was the menu. She had veggie soup & kale/quinoa salad & was happy with both. I had the spinach/mushroom pizza & Mediter. salad & they also were very good. These were on the lunch specials which range from $8.95-10.95 for a combo meal.\n\nThe noise level the entire time was horrendous. The manager said it was quieter in the back room but before leaving we checked it out. Just as loud. The steel ceilings are very high and all floors are hardwood. We were told all the L.V. stores are being changed out to match this one. Argh! I won't return until I can sit outside, probably in the spring.\n\nVALERIE

2

I wasn't impressed. All the hype was really for nothing. It reminded me of Town Square. Nothing special. We walked the entire mall in less than 30 minutes. The stores are small, everything is so crammed together. I rather stick to Fashion Show.

4

I was actually on my way to JCPenney in the southwest because they have a Sephora. I drove right past and then realized \"Hm.. they might have a Sephora\". They did! I got everything I came for and then stopped in Macy's... which is pretty small and has a fairly limited selection relative to Fashion Show (where I shop all the time) but Ok for only driving a couple of miles. I didn't get to Dillards but spent time in Brighton, Ulta, and Torrid and all were comparable to other locations.\n\nThe mall itself was pretty and I'm anxious to go back after the holidays just to shop, eat, etc. Regal has theaters and they look to have recliners and food service. I don't know I would want just average screens for big action movies (I'm an IMAX nut) but it will be great for girls night out when \"Magic Mike 2\" hits the big(ish) screen.\n\nOverall, I'm happy to have a mall so close but a little scared. I didn't make it to Nordstrom Rack or I would probably be needing a payday loan!

3

I was back this past weekend, and had a very nice lunch at Wolfgang Puck. Several restaurants still haven't opened, but the options are getting better.

4

Wow another new mall! I don't live near this mall, but since it's new, I wanted to check it out. It is a very nice mall I must say. They have an ice rink during winter time and a place to take pictures with Santa during Christmas as well. This is an outside mall so if you're going to go during winter, I suggest bringing something warm.\nThey have a great selection of stores such as Lush, Francesca's, and many more. (Those are some of my favorites.) There's also a Regal movie theater so that's pretty neat too. If I had to summarize this mall in a sentence, I'd say it's like another TownSquare, just way bigger and nicer. More stores are opening up so I can't wait to go see it!

4

I'm really happy to finally have Downtown Summerlin open. There are a good list of shops, restaurants and stores available. I love how it is similar to Town Square and can be seen right off of the 215 freeway. It was fun to watch it grow as I live just down the street. I hope to see all the bad stores like Shaggy Chic or Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse (don't waste your money those places they have terrible customer service) and more places like Earl of Sandwich and GAP come that way I don't have to drive all the way to Fashion Show Mall for a good shopping trip. Also the luxury regal isn't bad since it's more adult friendly than kid friendly :)

I really like this place but just for my experience today I am giving it one star. Restaurants weren't well equipped to handle the Christmas shoppers at all but the worst part was the ice rink. This is what happened: Turned up with my daughter and paid the $30 entrance fee for the rink. First they didn't have my daughter's shoe size but assured us we could bring them back if the bigger size didn't fit. It didn't and one boot was broken anyway. As we watched the skaters we noticed there were no 'helpers' for younger children (the sleds kids get to help them keep their balance). In 2 minutes there were two serious injuries as the rink was packed - one head injury and one knee injury and both kids were crying, ice packs etc. Then everyone was called off the rink and the stress of the business and having nowhere to sit or store our things and not having the right size boots made me decide within a few minutes to take the ice skates back and ask for a refund. You would think they would have decent customer service and offer a refund immediately for the wrong boots alone, since they did not have the right size in stock , but they just said \"no we can't.\" I asked for the manager who stood behind me and said the best he could do was comp us for another time. I did not want to be comped. I wanted my money back! I hadn't set foot on the ice and they could see that! Awful rink. They robbed me of $30 straight off the bat. Don't bother going there PLEASE.

I give DTS 4 stars just for being there! It's great having another retail complex on the west side of town. Parking is plentiful and the shops feature the typical offerings for a mid-to-higher end mall such as Apple, Sur La Table, Lululemon, and anchor department stores Dillards and Macy's. I love having Trader Joe's near me and there are enough restaurant options to please most people. Easy to access off of the 215, DTS is a welcome addition to Summerlin and I look forward to the rest of the advertised shops opening soon as well as the boost in the economy from all the money that is and will be spent here!

I hate this mall just as much as a I hate town square. Now, no doubt that its nice to drive directly to the shop you're looking for if you don't want to mosey around, but good luck finding parking in front of or even one street over from said shop. Being an outside mall, I don't like coming here on a cold day and I guarantee I won't be visiting at all if I can help it in the Summer. And my god, people walk around here like complete idiots, so drive slow and beware for morons who jaywalk and just generally jet out in front of you, likely just for shits and giggles or in an effort to collect on your full coverage auto insurance.

I'm a big fan of Town Square and outdoor malls in general, so I was excited that they have opened another outdoor mall in LV. We started from the south end near Dillard's then walked around and up to the north end. \n\nSo far, I'm not really impressed w/ Downtown Summerlin. There are a bunch of clothing stores (from low-end to high-end), department stores, few specialty stores, a movie theatre, and eateries but it falls short in terms of layout and selection. It has a dry, concrete, pavement feel :/ I was expecting something like the Americana in Glendale, or the Grove in LA but I feel that Downtown Summerlin is very ordinary compared to those two. It looks like just another shopping outlet, but with a fountain that looks like a kitchen strainer and everything is much more far apart w/ LOTS of parking in between. No cute little play area/park for families w/ little ones or pets too :(\n\nThe food choices here are also not that great. Nothing special here - seems like either chain stuff, or overpriced high-end restaurants. We ate at Crave since we got tired of walking around everywhere (all the eateries are scattered!) looking for what and where to eat. Ambiance and service was good, but the food wasn't and did not match the high prices.\n\nAt least there's plenty of parking & it seems to be a nice addition to Summerlin. It's great how they have a Apple store & Trader Joe's now. I used to live around this area when it was basically dirt and a bunch of large, fancy houses. This shopping center just doesn't have the same charm as Town Square and other outdoor malls in California.

Welcome to Downtown Summerlin. The Mall that hates your children. \n\nAs a parent then watching this mall get built was so exciting. This quadrant of Vegas definitely needed a shopping area and even in their family fun filled opening it looked like they were doing everything right.\n\nBut once those opening day balloons deflated then it became clear that they didn't build this mall with children in mind. \n\nParks: There is NONE. During that opening weekend I didn't even notice since they had so many street vendors doing kids stuff. But on a regular day then there's absolutely nowhere to let your kids run around. (yes, there's the water monolith near the theater but that clearly isn't meant for kids. \n\nStores: the shoppes are mainly upscale which is to be expected. But where's the Children's Place? They have one of those \"don't touch the toys\" Toy Stores and a Build a Bear but that's it. Even the Apple Store is missing it's little \"Kids\" Table that is found in every Apple Store across the country. \n\nEvents: To be fair they are trying. sometimes they have events but they haven't matched up to the opening weekend. They had a horribly cast 6ft Elsa and 4'7\" Anna at the ice rink and they buried Santa in that unused tent. \n\n\nI'm not slamming on the mall. We like it very much BUT it does definitely feel as if a more permanent kids area is missing and I hope they address it in that open field where the temporary skate rink was put up.

Love this place!! Everything is so fresh and has amazing flavor! The Italian and Flying Pig sandwiches are so good! The grilled tomatoes really make the sandwich! For breakfast there are several sandwich and oatmeal (steel cut) options and if you really want a treat get a fresh made bun or cinnamon roll. I have had both the sweet and savory buns and both are fantastic. The sides are the usual chips and sides salads with one exception...THE KALE SLAW! It is the best! If you don't think you are a \"kale person\" this is your step to liking it. Not your typical slaw...no mayo but instead a sweet honey vinegarette so you can eat the whole thing without the guilt! \n\nSkip the large \"chain\" sandwich shops and support this local one...well worth it!!

4

Food was fresh, staff friendly and attentive. My friends & I shared a fresh baked goodie for dessert after my awesome grilled mozzarella, pesto, turkey sandwich - yummmmm \n\nGlad I purchased their Groupon - they've only been open a month. I hope they make it cause it's small local business and a nice change to the typical stuff on the corner. Definitely will be back.

2

It seems they have pretty steady local business and for that, I'm happy. I do wish the restaurant success as the staff was very nice but my meal was very underwhelming and nothing I would even consider trying again. For $9 I had a sandwich which left me hungry as it was awfully small. The sandwich was pressed on the grill and still came out cold and flavorless. For $25 for lunch for two, it should at least leave me full. Good for them on the profit margin though. Selling two slices of thin bread, 3 oz of roast beef, and a tomato for $9 is a lucrative racket.

5

My new favorite breakfast and lunch spot! The food is freshly made when you order, with high quality fresh ingredients! what a concept! I have been to this family owned(and run) sandwich shop several times since it's opening and have never been disappointed. My husband stops by on his way home from work at least once per week to grab us a hot, delicious, nutritious breakfast. I had never tried steel cut oatmeal before, and I must say I am now a believer!! My favorite lunch sammie is the BL cheese, to die for!! The kale slaw is a must, who knew eating healthy could taste so yummy!! The sweets are amazing as well. Hope the community continues to support this local family business for years to come!

If you are craving a crispy, buttery, delicious, elevated grilled cheese- this is where to go!\n\nThe owner, or whoever it was that helped us was so so nice and friendly! The inside was very clean, and really nice. \n\nHere is what we ordered: \n\nThe B.L. Grilled Cheese - 8.50\nVermont white cheddar, tomatoes, mixed greens & bacon on Sour Dough.\n\nThe Flying Pig - 8.50\nTurkey breast, bacon, roasted tomatoes, lettuce, herb spread & havarti cheese on country white.\n\nThe BL was so ridiculously delicious- wow it was a serious work of art. I have never seen a grilled sandwich like it- i ran my fork across the top and it was completely crisp and buttery- everything worked so well and bacon on it- yes please! Wow, seriously heaven. I wanted ten more lol.\n\nMy husband is a little more traditional and can't resist turkey, bacon, or havarti so obviously the Flying Pig sandwich was perfect. I had a bite and it was delcious but a standard sandwich to me- my husband though was in heaven over it haha.\n\nHe added the drink/chips combo. I added a drink and grabbed some pesto pasta salad from their cold case. The pasta salad had good flavor, but not sure when it was made as the noodles were pretty tough. As we were leaving my husband grabbed a rice pudding to go- the flavor was so good but the rice was completely undercooked, making it pretty inedible. Sadly we didn't try it until we got home otherwise I am sure they would have refunded our money. \n\nOverall, we left very satisfied, not super filling, but super super delicious. Will definitely go back!

Rollover Donuts is the latest venture from Brad & Kat of Short Leash Dogs!\n\nHoused in the former Shine Coffee location, they have freshly made donuts and outstanding coffee! The coffee is amazing, and you can get anything you can think of, from a fresh drip, to salted caramel latte. While the coffee is great, the doughnuts are the stars of the show.\n\nTry the chocolate chip cookie dough doughnut- it will knock your socks off- so wear two pairs! I also tried the chocolate iced with walnuts, and it was sooooo good. These doughnuts are brioche based, so they are different than old school cake donuts, but in a really good way, much like fancy wood fired pizza is different than more pedestrian types of pizza.\n\nAs with the other Short Leash ventures, Rollover Doughnuts has an outstanding since of community. It's really cool to be in the sixth biggest city in the country, and it feels like a small town. Brad, Kat, & Co. go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable, and its a very nice touch.\n\nLong live Rollover Doughnuts, another great reason why Phoenix is a great place to be.

5

Another amazing creation from Brad and Kat! We have had a couple of different types at shortleash but we went to the grand opening today and it was awesome. We came a little late and they were almost out of everything (yay for them!).\n\nThey are really unique. I was not in a donut mood today so I just got tea but because they were out of what I wanted the girl at the register gave me a thai coconut donut to go (so nice!). It was really unique. It was full of sweet and spicy. I highly recommend!

3

This review may not be totally fair, as we went to Rollover on opening day closer to close.... they only had one kind of doughnut left and said doughnut was probably made many many many hours earlier. Husband and I split the Thai coconut doughnut which the employee had described as coconut filled with Thai spices.... so I was thinking coconut and curry or lemongrass or cilantro or something resembling the flavors of Thai food. What I got was a spicy doughnut... coconut and crushed red pepper or cayenne or something.... it was not pleasant. The cake itself tasted good and the coconut flavor was good, but it was all obscured by the spiciness which overtook the dish. I wouldn't come back for this flavor and I would advise the employees to describe it as a spicy coconut doughnut versus Thai spiced (which I found totally misleading), but I will give them the benefit of the doubt that other flavors may be better and they also may be better when made fresh. I'll have to give them another try and report back.

From the reviewer who brought you a stellar review for Short Leash, comes a review for their donut/coffee shop located on Vernon. Now, I completely forgot that they took over Shine, and I was just going to go randomly grab a cup of coffee after my niece was insisting that I needed coffee, she's two years old. lol. \nAnyways though, parked right out front was their Short Leash Food Truck, but I wasn't really hungry just yet and was in the mood for coffee. My niece on the other hand, is always hungry, and she wasn't disappointed. I enjoyed a latte which I just told them to make me something sweet, so I wasn't 100% sure what kind it was, but it was awesome. My nieces had the maple glazed donut with candied bacon and she loved it all. They are a little pricey for their donuts, but worth it on an every now and then basis. Coffee/Lattes are priced in comparison with most of the coffee shops around here. Will stop in again, once I have a few extra bucks to spare that is. Next time, I'll have to get the \"bear\" donut.

2

Great space, service is great, but the doughnuts were dry, frosting was over the top sugary, and there wasn't a great selection. We had chocolate glaze on raised, pistachio orange glaze on cake, and the choc chip cookie dough glaze on cake - all had the same problems.\n\nI'm hopeful that they're just working out the kinks. There's definitely room in Phoenix for a solid doughnut shop.

5

I was hesitant about Rollover since I'd really liked Shine Coffee which was the former resident of this location. Carrying over quite a bit of the wonderfully cheerful and efficient staff, having the same great coffee and tea, and substituting great tasting doughnuts for the great tasting pastries Shine offered works for me.\n\nFor the folks complaining about the variety of doughnuts, please take a look at the storefront. It's tiny! How many varieties do you think they can fit on their little counter? As for the people complaining there aren't any doughnuts left later in the day... that would be because their big doughnut business is in the beginning of the day for the breakfast crowd. A couple of doughnuts left over after sitting on the shelf in the display window at the end of the day and they're not fresh? Gee, why could that be?\n\nHow about this? Show up early at Rollover, get a doughnut or two (I can personally recommend the chocolate frosted, maple glazed, and maple glazed with bacon), have a big cup of hot or iced coffee or tea, and just relax.\n\nOh, and as a seasonal (fall) tip, try the pumpkin spice latte with a maple glazed with bacon doughnut. No need to thank me. Just enjoy this perfectly decadent combination.

5

I love this place --- right near the Art Museum and the Heard Museum --- makes for a great day out.\n\nThe location is hard to find if you are travelling North on Central (Phoenix does some odd things in this neck of the woods) --- need to do a U turn at Virginia or Thomas\n\nFave = spicy Thai coconut donuts (amaaazing!)\nWeekly specials are fun ---- \nReally --- you can't miss with these\n\nand ...\nWhen these donuts are fresh they are unbelievable ---

Today is the 5th time I've visited this place since it's opened. I was really excited and waited for the several months it took to open this place. As soon as I saw it was opened (since even though I was signed up to receive news from them and friends on Facebook I was never notified that they opened).\n\nUpon my first visit, I was impressed with the menus and atmosphere, everyone was really friendly. Very clean and new. I decided on the Mediterranean chop with chicken shawerma as the protein before I even got to the front counter. This place works basically like a Chipotle, where they work assembly line style. On this first visit I got very small portions of the salad and meat, but it tasted OK. The meat was dry and average, not impressed for my first time trying shawerma. What put me off the most was the fact that they've completely left tzatziki sauce off the menu, replacing it with a \"PB Sauce\".\n\nI notice everyone else says this sauce is good, but I have to disagree. This sauce is well, strange! If I had to describe it to you, I would say it had the consistency and feel of hand lotion. Garlic flavored hand lotion mixed with mayo. I threw that away. As a matter of fact during my second visit, they had samples out so people could try it BEFORE even dining there, and the counter guy insisted we try it because \"it's different\". Sure is.\n\nBeing a relatively positive and easy going guy, I didn't write this place off. I decided to go back again and try something different on the menu.\n\nOn my second visit, I decided on the fattoush salad with gyro meat as my protein. This time, the portions were huge and I was super happy that they guy making it could barely get the lid on it. When I got it back to work, I was disappointed yet again. I scooped the dollop of lotion they slapped on my plate and threw it in the garbage again (because I just don't have the heart to tell them no when they're scooping it). The gyro meat tasted good, but was cold from just sitting in a prep bin. The person making the dish had forgotten to put on the \"house made vinaigrette\" salad dressing I told them I wanted and I hadn't even noticed. So, in the end, I had a completely undressed salad. Also, I asked for pepperoncini's, they are tiny and tasted like dish soap, don't get those.\n\nOn my third visit, I decided to try the hummus, so I got the create your own bowl with the jalapeno cilantro hummus with the chicken kabob. The hummus is really, really good, but what's the point of having really, really good hummus when you give the customer 5 small triangles of pita bread. I was left with a huge bowl of hummus and no pitas. The chicken kabob is ok. Nothing special.\n\nMy fourth visit, I got the fattoush salad with gyro. This girl knew her stuff...until...it came time for the dressing. She asked, I responded. She started to dress the salad and the bottle went empty. She made sort of a stutter step, as if to go get a new bottle, but didn't. She set the bottle down and asked if it was dine-in or to go. This time, I just figured, well a lightly dressed salad is better than a dry salad right? Not really.\n\nLike I said, I'm a really laid back guy and I don't really comment on Yelp. Today I felt compelled to describe my most recent, and most likely, my last experience here. I decided to tempt fate and order the fattoush salad again, this time with ranch dressing. As soon as I asked for it, the guy had to look at the menu before he started making it. I knew I was doomed. We went through the usual steps and when he got to the end he had forgotten 2 of the ingredients listed on the menu and had begun piling the gyro meat on top of my salad. This is where I got very frustrated. He ONCE AGAIN forgot the dressing, didn't even ask. I had to tell him \"there is no dressing on that\" as he was putting the lid on asking if it was dine-in or to go. He seemed surprised I wanted dressing on my salad? So, he began to do two or three half hearted attempts at squirting the dressing out on top of the gyro meat as the bottle went empty (eerily similar to the previous visit when someone actually tried to give me dressing). I suppose it seemed to be enough to him, and me being the laid back not to make a stink guy politely paid for my lunch and proceeded to throw it away. I know, an irrational thing to do.\n\nI probably won't be going back there. There are other places similar that do much better at everything, just maybe another 5 minutes on the drive from where I am. I'm just disappointed mostly that this place let me down every single time I went in. Some things were really good, some things not so good. Very inconsistent. I really wanted to like this place. Maybe after some time, they'll get their consistency down and I can raise this up to the 5 stars everyone else is giving it.

Very good. First time here. I got a gyro. I like the concept. Kind of like chipotle for Mediterranean food. The gyro I got was huge as well. Lots of meat and toppings. Well worth it.

5

Pictures on the window caught my eye as I was passing by had to try it out. Such a welcoming atmosphere! They had a \"wiki-pita\" to explain what the food was..really neat! I had the hummus bowl with chicken... Love how I got to create it myself and see all the toppings in front of me. Food tastes DELICIOUS! Got a smoothie from the juice bar before I left and loved that also! I would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

4

Love this new lunch spot! My go-to is a hummus bowl with chicken. It's great to have healthy options close to the office. I've never had any issues with the quality of food, although (like someone else mentioned) it seems like they're being a little more stingy with portion sizes, particularly the hummus. In spite of that, I would give 5 stars if I didn't think my order was a giant inconvenience to many of the staff. I know the lunch rush can be stressful but I just get the feeling some of the employees could use a little more patience. Great overall!

5

Great opening!!!!\nFrom Winning Pig to this... Amazeballs!!! \n\nLove the Welcoming ambiance, just as their original Winning Pig!!!

5

Love this place. Great wine and beer, fun games, good music...and Shari at the bar! What could be better?

5

What can I add to the other reviews. This place is such a friendly neighborhood space. Great beer selections, wine and games to play with friends. We have known Emily (one of the bartenders) from Sun Up for a long time. It just feels so fun to have a place to go near by and enjoy good company, beer and have a great time!!

5

The Pig's Meow is a man after my own heart. There is no shortage of drinking spots in Arcadia, but the neighborhood really needed something like this. A laid-back casual bar that is reasonably priced without being divey. They sell beer and wine, there's a ton to choose from, most of the brews are local crafts. As for food, they have grilled cheese sandwiches only for $5. I didn't get a chance to try these, but the other patrons who did seemed very happy with them. They have awesome happy hours of 3-8pm and reverse from 11-1am and all day Sunday, this really makes it easy to drink for cheap! For entertainment they have several 80's vintage gaming systems, have a beer, play some Centipede on the Atari, then some Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis, and finish it off with some Mario Bros. on the original Nintendo. If you're not into the electronic games they have plenty of other games like Guess Who, Let's Go Fishin' and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em robots (which I played for the first time ever that night). Also, they have my all time fave a LEGO wall!!! My husband and I left this place so excited knowing that we will return many times, and that this will be our future awesome watering hole!

5

Pig's Meow, I think I'm in love.\n\nNew bar in the Arcadia neighborhood and after being open for only 3 days was packed! Super cool atmosphere (how can you not love a place with old school games like Uno, Connect Four, and even Atari!), and overall really good vibes. The bar is tucked away in an unassuming strip mall behind Bosa donuts, and there is a ton of open parking and bike racks for all of your transportation needs. The beer menu is written out on the large chalkboard wall, and it's massive. So many unique brews to choose from that I just had the bartenders pick for me and believe me, each one they suggested was fantastic. They also have a variety of $5 grilled cheeses that are made fresh on the press. I highly suggest the star (pepperoni/cherry peppers) or heart (fig/goat cheese) for the sandwiches. Muy delicioso. :)\n\nBest of all; they have DAILY happy hours until 8PM!!! Seriously, 8pm everyday PLUS ALL DAY on Sunday's. \n\nWithout a doubt, this is officially my new favorite spot!!

5

Love this new bar! I had a funny feeling I would once I heard the same people behind The Whining Pig opened this great new bar. Love the games at each table and the overall feel of this place. The staff is super friendly and you've got to love the daily happy hour from 3-8pm - $5 glasses of good wine...you can't beat that! We'll definitely be back since there is also plenty of parking.

5

Just perfect!!! I love coming here!!! The fun games, atmosphere, and exceptional alcohol makes for some great fun! Happy hour has some great deals and is late night as well!

4

I am a fan of the Whining Pig. Big fan. This place is just like its sister, but it has draughts, grilled cheese, and classic video games... awesome! The happy hour prices here are slightly higher than at WP, but it's still a great deal. The bartender suggested a delicious beer that was just what I was looking for, so I appreciated that. All of the video game tables were occupied, so I'll have to get my Mortal Kombat on another time (of which I am sure there will be many), but I did get to enjoy some Pop Up Pirate and Battleship. Will be back, yay!

4

Just like the other location, this place rocks!\n\nHow they manage to make a spot feel so incredibly home-y, fun, and affordable is beyond my understanding! A few folks weren't particularly happy with their grub (not a lot of meat/cheese), but for the price and considering they don't really have a legit kitchen, I think they were adequate.\n\nWhile waiting for a few friends to show up, I battled a stranger to Mario Cart (sadly, my childhood reign is long forgotten), and there are a plethora of games sitting around ranging from Cards Against Humanity to Connect Four.\n\nSweet happy hour, though I think the beers were definitely not pint sized (I could be wrong).

4

This place is a stones throw away from our house and we were so excited when we discovered it! The service was fantastic, I think she was one of the owners and she was very attentive and pleasant.\n\nThe whole concept is cool with the chalk board walls you can write on, the video games and the menu on the walls also. I had a few glasses of wine, my boyfriend had a variety of IPA's and we were very happy with everything. I would add a 5th star if they served more variety of foods to munch on.

4

So beer and wine only... But oh the selection. Atmosphere was charming. Happy hour is from 3-8 and 11-2, everything 25% off. 20 drafts, 50+ bottles and a mystery beer. Nice feature they have olds hook console games to play for free: Mario cart, donkey kong, mortal combat, and board games. Nosh on goldfish. Me and my boy drank happy hour, had a good time. Mystery was awesome... Not PBR. This bar was so awesome my hipster bearded friend from Oregon was impressed... No small task.

5

I have seen Alexis twice for great therapeutic massage. I have a lot of neck/back/hip pain that she can target and she understands anatomy well. I purchased 3 more for the coming year & look forward to my next visit. The hours & location are very convenient for me as well.

5

My boyfriend and I came in on Black Friday cause we had been talking for a long time about getting a GameCube again and I had my ps2 stolen a while back and wanted another one. They were having 20% off so we checked it out and we got a GameCube with a controller and all the wires for 40 and just the PS2 console (cause we still had the wires and two controllers) for 25 and with the 20% off it was only 56$! WTF for two systems? We were like YES take our money!! They have a good selection of older games and are very knowledgeable and nice! \n\nEven better, the disc drive on the ps2 wouldn't stay closed and I brought it back and they replaced it no questions asked. \n\nIf you're looking for an older system or need a few games for the n64 you just found, go here!!

2

Being this well-known American chain, I made it a point to visit this location.\n\nI won't be doing that again.\n\nThe food is fine: burgers are fresh and delicious, fries are meh, rings are good.\n\nBut holy mother of god is this place *grossly* overpriced.\n\nMy family of 4 (one of which was a 2 year old girl) cost north of $50!\n\nSo while the food is delicious, you can still get better for *far far far* less.

2

I was excited to see this supposedly great chain expand into Waterloo. I thought it was something worth trying. If I can summarize what Carl's Jr tastes like, it's overpriced Burger King food.\n\nTheir sizes are one size smaller than McDonald's. So a McDonald's large is a Carl's Jr medium. I ended up with a medium fry and medium drink that were a lot larger than I expected.\n\nThe fries were okay... they were your typical average frozen fast food fries. The burger was nothing special. It was just an over-priced version of a Burger King Whopper with cheese.\n\nMaybe the other specialty burgers are worth it, but then you'd be spending $15-20 per person and might as well go to a formal sit down restaurant.\n\nIn summary: Meh.

5

Clean gym, friendly atmosphere, great routes / problems!\n\nI stopped by for a climb while on vacation and I couldn't be happier with the decision. Here are some reasons why you should climb here:\n\nProblems / Walls: \nBeginner - Expert throughout the gym...most gyms reserve the overhangs and slanted walls for more difficult problems, but Refuge has bigger holds throughout the gym so you can still have fun on seemingly difficult problems at only a v2-v3 level.\n\nStaff:\nJustin gave me some beta on a few routes that I would have never figured out and the owner Jeff actually worked one-on-one with me providing advice on climbing technique. The two tremendously helped me advance the way I approach a problem.\n\nGym:\nIn addition to clean holds and new mats, Refuge also has clean bathrooms, water fountains, cubbies, couches, changing rooms, lockers, yoga room, and a complete traditional gym - they have it all.\n\n\nFinal Word: I wish this gym was in my neighborhood, my local gym doesn't chalk up! (duh-duhn--tshh)

5

When I first heard there was going to be a new bouldering gym in Las Vegas, my initial thoughts were \"cool....not going to be a good place to train, maybe check it out when it rains and the sandstone is soaked.\"\n\nThen I came into the refuge and my mind was thoroughly changed.\n\nTo call this place a climbing gym is to use a misnomer, it truly is a training facility. The offerings of fitness and yoga incorporated with VERY good route setting really helps push this place to what Las Vegas has long needed.\n\nWithin a week of opening, the number of local hardmen and hardwomen I have seen frequenting this place reinforced what I had already suspected: This place is awesome.\n\nIt has a very open feel to it, the walls are quite tall and downclimbing is an essential skill here if you value your knees/ankles. Staff is fantastic as noted above, and most of the time they are wearing staff shirts. Most climbing gyms I have been to I haven't been able to tolerate the 'bro' mentality and condescension many of the staff members have, that is absent here.\n\nI agree that it is a bummer that vending machines are the only food/drink options other than water here, also would be nice if they sold a few things like chalk and tape...but that is truly nit picking.\n\nThe owner is very active in the gym as is his manager, and both are very receptive to and often solicit feedback. Now if only I could get stronger so I could climb some of those V-Thatisreallyfreakinghard problems...

5

Wow! Thanks a lot for this food experience. Everything was on point and pricing is more than fair!

My coworker and I were planning on going to a restaurant in the same shopping center and saw this place had newly opened and decided to try something new. The menu is pretty interesting and I am interested in going back later and trying one of their burgers. I wasn't in a burger mood this time so I tried a one of the combination platters with grilled salmon teriyaki. I can be a salmon snob so the first bite is everything. If I get the hint of fishiness it is going back. But, I was super happy to note that there was not a hint of fishiness. For 9.95 the Combo plates are massive and have a lot of food, could not even come close to eating it all. In the end it was very good. My coworker got the curry and enjoyed it. In order to get a five star review a place has to really wow me, and this place did not. But it was very good and we will return.

Good food. Good service. We enjoyed our lunch of 8 people in the group. I liked the Ramen and beef teriyaki.

Izakaya Go was a huge let down. I went for lunch the opening week and got the salmon teriyaki lunch. It came with your standard miso soup, salad, rice, soft tofu, and creamy potato side dish. The food itself was good and what you would expect from a Japanese restaurant, but the long wait killed it... not on it's own. The long wait to order, to get tea, for the food to come out, and then needing to ask for a spoon for the miso soup. I understand this was opening week and some kinks were probably being worked out so I decided I should come back during dinner to see the full tapas menu and give it another shot. \n\nThat day and the next they were doing 50% off the bill so the next day at dinner I recruited a friend to check out the tapas menu with me. It was more of the same regarding service, despite having more than one server interact with us throughout the experience. This happened the previous day. The other funny thing was the same primary server who tended to us at dinner was also the one who was taking care of me at lunch the previous day. I understand when it's stupid busy and a lot of people are coming through, you can't remember everyone, but she didn't recognize me from the previous day even though she invited me back to check out this particular menu, and the place was never packed the both times I happened to be in.\n\nThe dinner menu is large and easy to get lost in, we got the chicken yakisoba which was great, the halibut roll, a couple other dishes that weren't memorable, my friend wanted the bacon asparagus dish, which had a hair in it. We let the server know just so they could make the kitchen aware. They apologized and offered us ice cream. Overall the decor is very traditional and I can tell a lot of thought and care went into it. The staff is friendly and I feel like they're trying but there has to be some disconnect between the front and back of the house. The food was good but was coming out very slowly and sporadically, I think that's related to the previous statement. Oh and they have been picking the weirdest Pandora channels for music, it was mostly some super slow r&b and a couple Pandora ads. Some people might find it petty for me to mention it, but I noticed it and kind of found it entertaining. I'm not sure if or when I'll try this place again because I feel like I got burned back to back, especially with the other reviews being so enthusiastic about this place. Maybe I had bad luck both times? I'll give it some time before taking another shot here, there are so many options explore in Chinatown alone, and all around Vegas.

What a relaxing treat my facial was with Elizabeth! She knows her business well...very professional and caring....overextends herself to care for my specific skincare needs. New location is gorgeous!

Everytime I have the munchies, I start fantasizing about some weird food combinations, but usually just end up eating spoonfuls of different condiments I can find in the frige. But last week, I found that perfect munchies food I've been dreaming of for so long! I got in this new shop/restaurant thinking that I would just get a banh mi to go, but then, I got super excited when I saw that they had funky asian flavours inspired hot-dogs and I seriously thought about ordering the three different ones. But after all, I got the seaweed and onions one as well as the tobiko and crab sticks one. I sat down and looked at my meal for several seconds before having a first bite. They were really tasty and the bread was soft. But be careful because it really is messy food, especially because they put a generous amount of spicy mayo in them. If you are into bold flavours and fast food, I'm sure you'll like it. I can't wait to try out the satay peanut butter hot dog!

I have never been to El Pollo Loco before so I had no idea what to expect. Was it going to be like Taco Bell or Del Taco? Turns out, it's completely different than the aforementioned fast food joints. When I walked in there was a huge grill behind the counter loaded with, suprise, pollo. It was unexpected because the chicken looked fresh and of supermarket quality. Plus there was just a shit ton of it. I also liked the fact that there was an actual salsa bar. \n\nI had a coupon for a stuffed quesadilla combo that came with a drink and chips for $5. I ordered the quesadilla enchilada style - it was pretty substantial and tasted better than I expected. The wait time was longer than I would have liked. It took about 10 minutes. And they gave me a buzzer for my order. WTF? A buzzer for a fast food joint? Anyways, since it took a little long for me to get my food, they gave me a free brownie!\n\nCustomer service was great. I think I was greeted 3 seperate times. This is a brand new location, and you can tell the employees are still getting the hang of things. All in all, El Pollo Loco is a bit pricier than say Del Taco, but the food is higher quality.
