Q: Penny and I absolutely LOVE The Barker Lounge. All that I have to do is mention the word 'school' and she is downstairs waiting by the back door. She is so excited when we get there and she loves the people that work there. Everyone is super friendly and I always feel comfortable leaving her there knowing that she will get lots of attention and lots of playtime. The facility is very nice, clean and extremely organized. I have tried 2 other dog facility prior to the Barker Lounge and wasn't impressed with the fact that my dog was running around on concrete all day. Here she spends the majority of her day outside on turf and if she is ever inside is running on a rubber mat. They pay special attention to dog's activity level and personality to make sure that they are placed in the appropriate group as well. But the best part, Penny is exhausted when we get home!! I can't say enough good things about the team at the Barker Lounge. We will be going there for years to come!

Q: I don't throw the following sentence out very often but when I do, I mean business so here it goes...I had the best sandwich I've ever eaten here. I am not exaggerating. So if you stop reading this review right this second, at least you know and now you can you get into the car, make your way to Mesa and try one for yourself. So on to the rest of the review. I've been lucky enough to have an Ike's sandwich in SF and couldn't believe my eyes when I found out they were moving to Arizona. Their location is a bit of a drive for me, but the sandwich truly makes it worth it. Here's how the experience works. This is a casual sandwich eatery where you can come in solo, order and take it to go, or dine in with a couple friends. Anything goes at Ike's. Now, when you walk in, you'll immediately be overwhelmed by a board listing off a variety of every sandwich combo imaginable and it's not your run of the mill sandwich combo. No way. It's a combo of everything good in life that's put in between two slices of bread and served either hot or cold, depending on your sandwich. I suggest looking at Yelp reviews, pictures and the menu before you arrive to avoid major menu anxiety like I experienced. Also, note that every sandwich has a hilariously funky name so you might get lost in translation just simply reading the names! Once you've made your sandwich selection, you'll order at the counter from one of the incredibly friendly staff and they are truly genuinely friendly! It was such a breath of fresh air to experience a sandwich at Ike's. The decor is just as fun and funky as the staff and sandwich choices and be sure to look on your napkin holder because it will tell you something pretty about you! Now on to the best part, the sandwich. I don't even know where to begin. First, they serve this special bread that typically can only be found in N. Cal and it's amazing. Cheese is baked into the bread. I tried the Bella which is their most popular and I'm not surprised. It's a combo of chicken that has been slow-cooked for several hours and then tossed in this delicious honey mustard. Then they top it with cheese, avocado and this special mayo spread. I suggest adding some hot sauce to it. It's served hot and it is large and in charge, so unless you're ready for a last supper meal you will probably have some left-overs or your might want to share. It's worth every single calorie consumed and then some. Now, although this is about a 15-20 minute drive from my house, I will absolutely be visiting on a regular basis and can't wait for them to open additional locations! PS - if you get lost, it's across the street from the mall!

Q: This is the best reflexology massage place I have ever been to. Prices are great as well. $38 for a 60 minute massage. I highly recommend this place. Only complaint is that one time I went in there to get a massage and my masseuse smelt like he had been drinking for 3 days straight and the smell of cigarette smoke on his hands made me wanna throw up. I've only had that experience once, and have been there several times. I would still recommend the place. Hoping that guy got fired.
