A: Took her royal highness to the Tap Haus as she wanted to try something new. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and meals as well. We both thought the food was OK (You need to like German style food or just move along) as was the service and the drinks. What struck me the most was that the food is severely over priced whereas adult beverages were just as much under priced. I think this is a great building, with good parking (dirt lot ladies so be ready to dust off your heels) but I'm convinced this building is cursed and whomever moves in, is destined to go belly up. Tons of seating but the place never seems to be busy. Tons of large screen TV's but still not so much a sport's bar. I think the wait staff could use some pointers as they seem a bit confused and less than welcoming .......... Tons of beers to pick from but people around us said the beer was cool but not cold. Warm beer?? Maybe over seas but not in the USA. I think we'll go back ...... I think .......... Or maybe not ........ Not loving it, not hating it, give it a try and see for yourself.

A: Just got my first tattoo ever from Tyson and the whole experience was AWESOME! On my initial visit to the shop, the lady at the front was very nice and helpful. My consult and actual tattoo with Tyson was great. He listened to what I wanted and had some great ideas to make it even better. He is a very relaxed and laid back guy. My tattoo turned out perfect. I highly recommend the shop and I plan to get another tattoo done by Tyson in the near future!

A: Me, reviewing a Subway? Weird, I know. I wouldn't do so unless it was either amazing (not gonna happen) or something bothered me. Every other time I come here, they're out of something I want. Oh, there's a special on meatball subs? They're out of that. I want a bread besides white or wheat? Usually gone. Do I just have bad luck? This place is clean, but I don't like some of the workers (pay attention to me, old guy!) and I don't like the management. Not that I met them, but... ...I get coupons mailed to me. This, I believe is the closest Subway. Why, then, do you not accept coupons? Are you that ghetto? I guess this is the Maryvale area. I'll probably be back out of sheer convenience in my commute, but I sure do have an axe to grind with your service. There are too many of your generic shops out here. You are extraneous.

A:
I recently discovered The Flying Biscuit Cafe through the ordering and food delivery service Foodie Call. I love trying new restaurants, and anybody that serves breakfast from morning til night is a winner in my book! That said however, just as a disclaimer: I've never actually been directly on location so I can't comment about their whereabouts, staff or service in general. I can however say anytime I've called ahead of ordering through Foodie to ask about any ingredients used, they have been more than willing to go look up anything I asked about, due to family food allergies. As for their food though, everything I've had so far has been absolutely delicious! If you're looking for details on individual items, continue reading, otherwise, just stop here and know that The Flying Biscuit is great place to grab a good hot plate of food. 1) Their "Spicy Shrimp Quesadilla" is exactly as described, sauteed shrimp, white cheddar cheese, and lots of serrano peppers sandwiched in a flower tortilla. They don't scrimp on the shrimp or the peppers either, and when they say spicy they mean business! 2) The "Blackened Tilapia" is fresh tasting and seasoned well. It's usually served over their "Creamy Dreamy Grits" and topped with spicy herb marinara sauce. It comes with a side of spicy southern collard greens, which I've also ordered as a singular side dish. They're good, but not as spicy as I had expected, and not quite how I remember traditional greens being served, (a few too many stems) but a nice flavor just the same. 3) Their "Egg-Stravaganza" plate is great. You get two eggs any way you could enjoy them, chicken sausage, two slices of turkey bacon and their creamy dreamy grits. It also comes with a side of toast, and their homemade raspberry and honey creme anglaise sauces. The raspberry sauce is to die for, I mean really, it's that good! The eggs are always fresh, the chicken sausage while a bit of a different texture from the pork sausage that I'm used to is still spiced to perfection. They offer an option to substitute sides in and out on most of their menu items, so if turkey bacon isn't your thing you can always get pork bacon. Either way, it's a lot of food for one plate, and it's very filling. 4) The "Pasta, Sausage and Eggs" plate is probably an acquired taste, but I enjoyed it. You get three eggs, scrambled up with chicken sausage, spinach, mushrooms, penne pasta, covered in cheddar cheese and it's served with a side of their grits. The flavors of everything worked well together, but the texture was odd due to I'm assuming the grain of the penne pasta alongside the chicken sausage. 5) Their biscuits are always fluffy, and the apple butter they serve with it has a nice spice to it. 6) Their grits have a wonderful flavor and consistency, probably some of the best I've ever had from a restaurant. 7) Their seasonal fruit has always been fresh. 8) Their yogurt parfait with granola and strawberries is always a light and yummy treat. 9) The grilled macaroni and cheese is a favorite of everybody in my family, especially my daughter. I won't lie, those little crispy cheese edges are scrumptious. 10) Their blueberry pancakes are delicious, very fresh tasting, always fluffy. 11) Their "Love Cakes" were a little dry for my taste, but overall still pretty tasty. 12) Their Organic Oatmeal Pancakes are exactly what you think, oatmeal pancakes and it's our favorite item on the menu. They're topped with peach compote but we actually use the previously mentioned raspberry sauce on ours (or even the apple butter on occasion) and ask for the compote on the side, it makes for an amazing breakfast (or breakfast for dinner) and coupled with any of their various sides listed above, you seriously can't go wrong. I look forward to trying more of their dishes, and continuing to enjoy all that I've had thus far. I was made aware about a month ago (May/June 2014) that they've been making some menu changes, so there are probably even more goodies at their actual locale to try, devour and deem delicious. Enjoy!
