Problem: Scale of 1-10 (multiple visits): 9 Food 10 *DRINKS* 7 Service 9 Atmosphere 8 Value If you get anything here at all, let it be the Hipster! It's one of their very well priced cocktails ($7.50, which strongly buoyed The Keg's value score). This Hipster cocktail was amazing and I would go back for that alone. Easy. The steak was great, but the blue cheese add was only okay. Then the twice-baked potato was also super fantabulous. And yes, Google Spellcheck, that is a word dammit. However, The Keg almost slipped to a 3-star rating. A LOW 3-star rating! I was enjoying the medley of flavors on my plate and in my glass maybe a bit more carefully than my other 6 friends at the table, so when the server cleared all of their finished plates and left me the only one with food in front of myself, i was furious. I didn't show it, because i wasn't going to kill the festive vibe, but that is Server 101. Do NOT clear plates until everyone is done! Otherwise the server is effectively ending the remaining people's meals. And this isn't the server's fucking meal to end, it's mine! However, up to that point, and after that point, the service was great. But then Stacy, the manager i think, pushed the Keg up out of that shamepit to eke out a 4-star by bringing us all glasses of milk on the house! (Don't worry about the details, just know it was awesome.) So the moral of the story is: "Keg, if you ever ruin a wonderful meal by clearing plates like that again, i'll slap you with a 2-star in a heartbeat. But until/unless that horrible day comes, I am going to sing Stacy's praises while enjoying your Hipsters like cuhrazy!" Now if only it was easier to get to Tempe Marketplace via Light Rail...

Problem: We actually dined on April 9th. I am a bit late with my reply. My boyfriend and I had purchased a groupon for Fu Fu and decided to check it out. Ester the owner, chef waited on us. She was super sweet and helpful explaining some of the items on the menu. I ordered the Island Fruity drink - made with combination of Bacardi rum, Caribbean coconut rum, and banana liquor and a hint of orange juice, pineapple juice and cranberry juice. Ryan had a Red Stripe. The restaurant made you feel like you were eating at your family's house. They had basketball on 2 of the TVs and then Caribbean dance videos on the other TV. We started with the all mighty Pof Pof's - Fried sweet dumpling made with flour, sugar and butter and deep fried. They were the size of tennis balls and were even good cold. I took one home. I am craving these now. We then had the Dumpling soup - Fresh chicken or beef dice and seasoned. Mixed with varieties of vegetables, carrots, dumpling, onions, tomatoes and corn. We had the soup and the beef was so tender that it almost melted in your mouth. The broth was so flavorful that we drank it from the bowl after eating most of it. Main Course - I had the Yassa Chicken - Marinated chicken, sauteed onions and bell peppers with rice. It looked like a curry type sauce but was a mustard sauce with olives. It was so creamy and melted in your mouth as well. I also requested the special hot sauce that they make, mixed it with my chicken and rice. Gave it a nice hot kick! Ryan had the Curried Goat - Cube sliced meat marinated and cooked in curry, green beans and carrots. Served over white steamed rice. - I had a bite of the goat. It was tender and had great flavor. Needless to say we were quite stuffed by the time we were finished. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Shes been open almost 5 months. Don't let this place get away. Support Ester and Fu Fu! I love it! (Note - I did use part of the detailed descriptions of the food from the menu that is posted on their website.)

Problem: Mom Had a drivers test at 8 got there at 8:03 paper clearly states you can't be more than 5 minutes late which we weren't. 15 minutes later the asshole at the counter looks up to attend people in line my mom said her appt. is at 8 and he said "we're done with those the last kid I took was the last one and you weren't here" we clearly were cause he saw him attend the kid then call other people to pay but never once looked at the line. She argued and he took another person and he was attending the other customers like they were stupid. If we didn't have to go there we definitely wouldn't.

Problem: We ate here for Sunday brunch while staying at the resort and I was very impressed all the way around.
