A: Not sure what happened to this Macayos, but this spot is a "tradition" so I ate here. The service is horrible. We sat and waited 10 minutes before a waitress came to our table to give us water. Although, it was 5pm on a Friday and there was 3 waitresses working, walking past us not making eye contacting, the wait time is unacceptable. When we finally did get our drink order in with the waitress, the drinks were wrong. Long story short... Macayos will always be Macayos but the waitress and even the manager on duty (at the time) need to make a change with their service and staff, or they will probably be closing like the one off tropicana and Maryland parkway.

A: OK, this is going to be a narrow review. Liquor and the "Reuben" Went to the patio with a friend on a Friday night to drink some scotch and smoke cigars. The outside patio was well laid out and not cramped or confined. Plenty of TV's around if your interested. The fire pit is smack dab in the middle of the patio, but this was summer time so nothing to report other than it was nicely sized for a patio that large. The drinks were ordered and 2 scotch and rocks came out in decent size glasses. I thought it looked good. Then the manager approached and told our waitress to take them back and tell the bartender to fill them to the top. WOAH! We were pleased to see that our top shelf order was given top shelf treatment. The Reuben was ordered later that evening and it was delicious. It was classically prepared and the coleslaw on the side was a bit more crunchy then I prefer it, but it was a generous portion in a cereal bowl sized container. Not like one of those small ramekins that has 4 or 5 bites of food in them. Through out the evening service was key, we always had someone checking on us to see if we needed anything. Overall it was great, I feel I got my monies worth and I will return and recommend this spot to others.

Q: negative

A: Again, I like the food here and the prices are always very good. Ya, ya, bad nieghborhood. Just watch your back. LOL. The wait staff sucked on my last visit. Brought someone that had never been here for the $3.99 10oz. Burger & Fries, we waited 10 minutes to get served and probably another 8-10 minutes after our meal was done. You just shouldn't have to sit in front of your empty plate. Go for the food, just plan to be there for a bit.

OK, I'll keep this short since there are so many reviews on this place. I'm not sure what else I can say about it. I'm an ASU alum and have spent many a night in here. The beer is great. the sandwiches are to die for (yes, that's an overstatement). The atmosphere is always festive and it's just pricey enough to keep most of the unwanted college riff raff out. The Bad: Stay away from the hummus - yuk - tasted like a chili dog last time I had it. They constantly mess with the pasta salad. Last time I was there they used balsamic vinegar in it, which didn't taste bad, but it's grey. Grey!? What kind of food is grey? It's just hard to look at. Sometimes the staff and some patrons get a bit of an attitude, but it's a college bar. That's to be expected.
