This review is for the location on Elliot only. My husband and I visited and ordered the root beer float (there is alcohol in this) and a Diet Pepsi (seriously, Pepsi? Get it together and put some Coke on the menu). Root Beer Float was good, tasted like a root beer float, but managed to look like a glass of dirty milk. Pepsi tasted like the fountain used water from the toilet. Dinner! Yay! Wait, noooooo. Husband ordered the Chicken Parm and I ordered the stuffed rigatoni. Both of these dishes came out with about a cup of fresh parsley sprinkled all over them. Like the garnish, and literally a whole cup of it. They also cut the stems up on it, but I'll get to that in a minute. Lets start with the CHICKEN PARM. First of all, it was a big breast of chicken, not a formed and processed patty of chicken asslips and beak. The pasta with it was cooked only to the point of not crunchy. And after the first bite my husband looked at me and said "this tastes like they boiled the pasta in dirty water". I have to say, I don't think it was the pasta, I think it is their sauce. My rigatoni tasted funny. The ricotta inside was creamy and tasted good, but I couldn't put my finger on what tasted funny. Then, just as I had figured it out, I felt something hard and crunchy in my mouth. A HARD AND CRUNCHYTHING IN MY RIGATONI? Did I lose a tooth? Was it a bug? Oh, it was just a huge chunk of parsly stem. There was so much of this crunchy parsley stem in the dish and the taste of the sauce was horrible, I couldn't eat it. The manager came out (I hate when this happens, I'm not trying to get a free meal, I just don't like the food. Get over it). She offered to make us a pizza. The Chicago Style I saw at the next table looked good, but I was told that takes 40-50 mintues to bake. SIgh, we got a small cheese and pepperoni thin crust. The pizza came out and it was just cheese. The server that brought it informed us that the pepperoni was under the cheese. I ate a piece and again, their sauce tastes like it was made with dirty tomatos from the garden, not good. My husband choked down a few pieces of this and managed to find a piece of pepperoni under all that cheese. Needless to say, I was upset as this location was not even close to the location in Tempe, or Camelback. We won't go back and urge you to drive the extra 10 minutes eat at another one of their locations.
