A: I moved to the Phoenix area a month ago. Tonight was the second night I ordered pizza and appetizers for delivery. The first night it took an hour and fifteen minutes to receive my order. The food was good and everyone has a bad night every once in a while. Tonight it took an hour and forty minutes to get my order. AND EVERYTHING WAS COLD! My pizza looked terrible too, like it was tossed around. Time to try some place else.
Q: negative

A: Holy cow, worst customer service ever. We ordered two premium wraps through the drive through. Took about 20 mins and we were the only people there. We could here the employees screaming at each other whole making our order. Won't come here again!

Answer: I guess I didn't think it lived up to its hype..maybe it's because some of the food just didn't taste like how everyone was describing it to taste. Some of the sushi was rather gross and I saw the line for the crab legs and almost cried. I'm actually going to give this buffet another try the next time I'm in Vegas since I don't remember anything special about it.

Output: Service was pleasant enough but the food was so average for the price. We went there because of a $20 coupon but even that wasn't enough to save it. I will give them kudos for cooking the steak exactly medium rare but it had little seasoning and the side of mashed potatoes and asparagus were pretty tasteless. Think Denny's at three times the price. And my daughter would not even eat the French fries--they were that bad. Wait! Dessert just arrived. Ewh!!

output: This is an intervention. I rarely get myself involved in what I consider to be unfounded Yelp ratings, but this is necessary. It is time. Rock-bottom has been reached. Uncle Sal, we care about you, but the first step is to admit.... Four stars with almost a hundred reviews? Really? There is NO WAY this place even comes NEAR other establishments in Scottsdale including Pig & Pickle and Citizen Public House - WITH THE SAME STAR RATINGS!! Each to his/her own, yes, but for my money I'd avoid this "4 star" restaurant. Let me tell you why: As I often do, I checked Yelp for nearby eateries in Scottsdale. Fine. Cozy Italian-American seemed a nice stray from the usual for me. APPS: fried calamari and stuffed clams. Clams: way too heavy on the Progresso bread crumbs, hardly any clams, and the bread crumbs weren't even baked or cooked. Dry and loose. Yuk. The marinara is passable but the calamari and shrimp were dry, rubbery, and bland. Straight from freezer to cooker (and way too much cooking at that). Chicken Diablo: Swimming in oil, and not high-quality EVOO. Just oil and chicken fat. Pasta: NOT homemade. C'mon guys. Where is Uncle Sal? Halibut with lemon/caper over pasta: Overcooked, dry fish. Boxed, dried pasta. Meh. For $20? RIght. The House Salad? Old lettuce with large chunks of grated cheese. That's it. Give me iceberg, shaved carrots, and bottled Hidden Valley any day. (Snark? What? Moi?). I also think too many reviews are skewed by what some consider to be bad service. In this case, they were right: The other review about service is NOT a gripe. They lack organization and training. Lots of running around but nothing accomplished. It took almost 30 minutes and several please to get a drink order. At the same time, other tables were getting VIP treatment, even from the older gentleman (Manager? Uncle Sal?) running around "running' things. There were only 4 tables that night. And at least 5 runners/servers/staff (not including bartenders, etc). WTF? Was it a racial issue? Because we weren't regulars? Couldn't say, but definitely noticed. Sorry, Uncle Sal, I won't be back. Unless the intervention works. Call Gordon Ramsey or that other dude...I feel a Food Network episode germinating...

Answer:
Sometimes you visit a place just knowing you will regret your decision. At least 10 years ago and probably closer to 15 I picked up ham sandwiches to go here. I did not care for either the sandwiches or the value and just never went back. This was at a time when Honey Baked Ham company was first trying to find something to sell the 8 months of the year folks were not buying what many, including me, view as over priced meats for holidays. Fast forward to today and I decided to take advantage of a coupon I found on line for a complete lunch for $6 (normally $8-9). First impression on entering the deli/store that was remodeled about 5 years ago was very good. The place is inviting and spotless, with racks and coolers with stuff for sale and an eating area off to one side. The eating areas has about a dozen 2 tops that can be chained to fit larger parties. The sandwich I chose was delicious. They have about 20 to chose from and they can be modified to some extent. I opted for the additional cost garden salad which the corporate programmed cash registers would not allow for the special pricing but they made it work. The salad ($2.27) is actually a field greens mix and the croutons and dressing were served on the side (bonus points). If you are eating in the lunch is served on real plates with real silverware, I thought this was amazing for a place that sells so much stuff to go in plastic containers. Service is order at the counter and they bring it to you. Serve yourself drinks. Two different people came by while I was eating to make sure I was not in need of anything. After my meal I explored the racks of stuff for sale and found packages of bean soups to make, various mustard/mayo/dressing containers and other stuff including preserves that were made without HFCS. I purchased some delicious peach preserves that at $4,69 were in the right price range for what they were. During the off season you can get coupons for stuff on line and I intend to take advantage of them. This is now an addition to my lunch rotation as even at normal prices I consider them a good value.
