A: The rating would have been 2 stars but after our dealing today it is not worth 2 stars. When trying to cancel our membership we were told that even though we were now on a month to month contract we would have to pay into December regardless. We apparently were a few days over our 30 days notice.... that as we were repeatedly told.... is in the contract we originally signed. The assistant conveniently mentioned this after we signed our termination agreement. When we asked to speak to the manager she said it was out of her hands.....what is the point of being a manager?.....They were perfectly capable of reducing our monthly payments when we informed them we wanted to leave...but waiving a ridiculous fee which is the equivelent to stealing is out of their hands.....so a tip for everyone who wants to reduce their monthly fees....threaten to join another gym. Beyond that the gym can get very hot, bathrooms are often left in a mess and there can be long waits for equipment.....these things we often overlooked because no where is going to be perfect....but it is out of our hands now.

A: This place is true Midwest, I wanted an omelette with onions and was told .35 extra. The western is the same price so why extra and has more onions. Food is greasy a d hash browns are cooked ahead of time. Eggs were old and toast was cold. This place is a real shit hole. Never going back. The waitress was a grouch and rude as hell. This is not how we are in the Midwest. I have owned restaurants for over 30 years and this is not going to last. I don't know how this place stays busy, but the best thing that they could do is at least smile and be nice to customers.all this took place within the first 5 minutes of the experience. I went there because it advertised Midwest Food, This is NOT Midwest Hospitality HERE!!!!!!!!!!!! Nb

A: Was anxiously awaiting the opening of Chop Shop with the concept of a healthy lunch under $10 - in Old Town Scottsdale. Sound too good to be true? Verdict: very close. Expanding on the space from the previous place (Big B's Hangover), at first blush my impression of Chop Shop was cute, crowded, and friendly. The patio has been expanded, and was almost fully occupied around noonish. Inside, a small line awaited, where a super friendly order-taker manned the register. No ordinary order-taker however, he described the tri-tip to a customer, explaining he was a "meat man" with genuine enthusiasm and impressive menu knowledge. Greeted with a big smile, I ordered the trip tip sandwich, telling him it was based on his recommendation. He explained he was talking about the OTHER tri-tip selection (the protein dish), but my choice was equally excellent- with apple and horseradish sauce making it "tangy." Sold! I ordered an iced tea, delivered right there at the counter, and given a number for table delivery. Grabbed a deuce by the window, and waited no more than 5 for my sandwich and salad to arrive. Plated unceremoniously but "green-ly" on an open-faced cardboard carry out, I was slightly disappointed to see that the "whole wheat bread" was a like a pita, only in halves. Seeing the tri-tip was cut into cubes, I was sure my sammy was going to be dropping meat bombs like a Sam Kinison buffet. No worries - the bread held up for a very G-rated lunch experience. The side salad was straight chopped greens, but with a thin and sweet viniagrette. Punch this puppy up with some vinegar and seasoning and happy I will be. As for the sandwich, the meat was tender, not overdone. The apples and splash horseradish were good complements, but again, some use some KICK. The feint of heart don't order horseradish! I ended up grabbing some Sriracha to add more flavor-boost. Overall, there is promise and I will be back to try more, soon. Some notes to management: First suggestion: move the espresso machine with cups piled high on top (which hides the bottom half of the menu board), to the back wall, where the Ice Tea station is. #2 - Put the tea station on that white table below the chalk board for self-serve. Other than holding some vases, it serves no purpose (unless it's a bus station, which would be yucky out front). Guests expect refills with ice tea. Charge me another 50 cents, I can handle that. #3 If what I had was exemplary, take the food from good to exceptional with more seasoning. Good luck Chop Shop! Hope you're a Scottsdale staple soon.

I am so glad I was told about this place. It does not get the "hype" it deserves but I am sure some of the regulars/locals are happy about that. It had almost an old world feel inside. I couldn't quite place the atmosphere....was it old school Charleston? New Orleans? Or Europe? It was quaint, classy and intimate. The people around me were in bow ties, suits and dresses. Most of my fellow diners were 50 years old or older. One of the prior reviews said it felt like going to a rich relatives home for dinner and that was very well stated...I agree. The food was phenomenal. You know when you are eating things that you normally wouldn't eat but you are really enjoying them that someone has done something extremely well! That was my experience at Terra. I was eating fish, veal raviolis, heirloom tomatoes, etc. Everything I ate was absolutely unreal. My husband and I absolutely CLEARED our plates. I don't think we even left any residue. The desserts we chose were the chocolate mousse and the salted carmel pastry puff...both were scrumptious. Everything is just so well done. The flavors are perfect but the quality of food was what truly impressed me. Everything was fresh and the presentation was done to perfection. It was truly a culinary dream! I would go back again and again. It has a unique feel that I don't think I have seen anywhere else in Charlotte. Hats off to chef and owner...well done!!!
