A: Just stopped in for some pizza and was so surprised they had white slices. I've been in AZ for 3 years and always miss good New York pizza. I would say their pizza is close to small chain pizzerias if you want a good New York slice try garden pizza in Goodyear but if you want a close to New York small chain "Mario's pizza" style pizza an need a white slice fix give Gus a try. Got a special surprise the chef made some tiramisu and let us try it. Absolutely fantastic

A: Still having to put up with a tenant from Bruce Rae making noise from his rented flat, they take in students so you can imagine the racket I have to put up with- I have asked this so called professional business to deal with this matter and all I got was " I have had a word" what a shower of imbeciles .

A: Stopped in twice during our Thanksgiving visit to Maricopa because it's not too far from my mother-in-law and sister-in-law's homes. The peanut shells all over reminded me of Jimmy Mac's in my current hometown of Federal Way, WA. It's a fun touch, and something to do while you wait for your food, which wasn't actually very long at all. For both visits, we were seated right away even though the restaurant and bar appeared to be doing good business. It's a dimly lit tavern that's a cross between a sports bar and family restaurant with old west & southwest decor. The cowhides were certainly an interesting touch. My mother-in-law recommended the cheese curds as an appetizer and hubby and I thought they were fantastic. They come with a spicy jalapeno ranch dip, which I loved, but my husband and mother-in-law preferred them with regular ranch. On our second visit, she actually ordered the curds again as a shared appetizer and then ordered another one as her dinner. What can I say, she's a Brit, and they love their cheese. As delicious as the cheese curds are, I was surprised that they were $6.99. Seemed a bit much for a bowl of deep fried cheese. I was pleasantly surprised to see edamame on their starters menu, so I ordered their garlic soy edamame. It was a very generous, savory serving and better priced at $4.99, but I could only eat the ones not soaking in the garlic soy sauce soup. I'm a big fan of chicken wings, and I've been craving some since our last visit to Buffalo Wild Wings in Vancouver, WA, earlier in November. I can tell you that Teakwoods has just as good, if not better wings. They don't have the variety of flavors of course, but their honey BBQ wings were delcious, and fairly good-sized. On our second visit, I had the wings again. I went with their special "Mango Bango" flavor of the day, and while still tasty, it wasn't as flavorful as described and compared to the honey BBQ, quite disappointing actually. Hubby had the chili on his first visit ($3.95) and found it so filling, he couldn't finish his bowl. It probably didn't help that he had some of his mother's cheeseburger sliders ($8.99) as well. He offered me a bite and I would have made them an option if Teakwoods didn't also serve great wings. On our second visit the hubby had their chicken fried chicken and again found the helping too large to finish. It was quite huge, pounded thin, breaded and fried, taking up most of his plate. He's a food separatist, though, and will go through his veggies first, so by the time he gets to the actual entree, he's full. I had a bite of the chicken and thought the breading was nicely crunchy, but nothing special. The service wasn't bad. Like I said, we were seated promptly at both visits, our orders taken within a few minutes and the appetizers were out within the time it took me to go through about 10 or so peanuts. The soft drinks are huge, so we didn't need more than one refill, which was probably the idea. Teakwood offers everything you could want in a neighborhood bar: flat screen TVs to catch the MLB, NFL and college sports, a special menu every day on top of their regular fare and a full bar with daily specials as well. I'm sure Teakwoods will be our go-to place whenever we visit again.

A:
Very dissapointed! No comparison to the cracked egg which is right down the street. Food is bland! Nothing special about this place at all!
