PROBLEM: Randy's is a longtime local Scottsdale business with fast, fast, fast service and decent short-order cook style breakfast, lunch and dinner. I like that there is an extensive menu but the charm is that you can just tell the waitress what you want and they can produce it for you in less than a minute. Small town feel in a big city with a fast-food restaurant order elegance. If you don't like to cook your own scrambled eggs, this is a good option for you. I wouldn't expect any fancy omelets or ingredients and presentation is unnecessary (it would just slow the food down which comes out very quickly).

I was turned off by the hostess that can't say hi while taking your name. I know its busy and the service is fast, fast, fast (they are fast) but say Hi and Good Morning, its just polite. Remember, small town feel, big city?

I don't like sitting down when the tip is still on the table from the last guest. I know that I am not the only person going to sit at that table but it feels like the table didn't get a good break between guests. The table was wiped clean but still, make it feel like it is ready for a new customer. I also found a hair in my food, an eyelash. I think it could have been mine, yes, I am going to say it's mine, probably fell out when I blinked after I ordered and my food arrived. Too bad, I don't eat as fast because it was obvious that we needed to get out, out, out for the next customer.

SOLUTION: 2 stars

PROBLEM: Oh my goodness is this the best thing I've ever put in my mouth?! YES! I came here after reading other reviews and I have to say it blew my expectations out of the water. I'm slowly working my way through the menu but my favorite so far is the Kiki burger. What I like about Bachi is that they take a lot of very powerful flavors such as bacon or blue cheese and mix it with more delicate flavors of mushrooms or miso and you can taste every single ingredient and they compliment each other so beautifully. It's a balance of flavors that few chefs are able to accomplish. The burgers are so moist it almost seems a shame to put the sauce they make for your specialized burger on but you must! It makes all the flavors pop. Once you're done, you wish you had room in your stomach for more. My usual appetizers are the peking duck buns or the pork belly buns. You can't go wrong with either and they both are so tender and savory you'll be licking the plate it came on. My usual sides are the parmesan truffle fries. I had the oxtail fries and they just didn't do it for me. They were heavy and I felt they had this odd almost bitter taste to them. They looked like chili cheese fries.

The service is always excellent when I go there. The servers are all nice and want you to have the best experience possible. During my last visit there, I had a server who was just recently hired and wow! They train their staff well because she knew all of the menu items and she was personable and attentive.

PS! I went there while they were filming the kitchen segment for Dinner's, Drive In's and Dives. Although they weren't officially open, they were kind enough to allow my friends and I to order out. I HOPE MY BURGER WAS ON THE SHOW! Also, you better go there now before the episode airs in about 6 months because after that, you wont be able to get in the door.

SOLUTION: 5 stars

PROBLEM: The other reviews got it right. It's like a Coldstone with the mix-ins, and it's cheaper. I wouldn't say that my mind is blown away by the flavors, but the second half of my "small" size being $3.98 w/ tax is still sitting at home in my freezer. You do get just one mix-in free with most options, with a fee for extras, so Coldstone might be for you still if you're a fan of concoctions loaded with different toppings. However, if you like potentially cheaper ice cream and want to support locally owned places, then Mixers is for you.
