A: OMFG I thought I died and went to Whole Foods heaven!!! This IS the most amazing WF in the whole freakin' world! I was seriously in a gluten-free wonderland! They have a whole aisle devoted to gluten-free products...they had products I had never heard of. They had like 500 different kinds of GF cookies...I almost cried with joy. Brian and Forest had to try to contain me because I almost broke into song and dance, not to mention the manic squealing as I picked up each item and read the label. Needless to say I bought one of everything...well, everything that wasn't frozen or that wouldn't melt in the hot Phoenix sun. I wanted to buy the nifty $90 vegan shoes for my child...but then I remembered I don't have a child. I wanted to eat the handmade artisan soap because it smelled so yummy. I wanted to buy the gorgeous slab bacon from the "smokehouse" counter and fashion it into a bacon bikini right there...but calmer minds prevailed. Brian and Forest convinced me I would be arrested and put on a chain gang in the AZ desert if I stripped naked and applied pork products to my flesh right there in front of God and everyone. Since pink jumpsuits are not my thing I decided to forgo the bacon bikini experience. We managed to make it out of the store without being arrested.

A: Such a fabulous happy hour deal! The bahamarita was super delicious. Order it if you like tropical goodness, margarita style. If you like coconut..like the malibu rum coconut, you would love the Pineapple Coconut Margarita. Not my cup of tea, but could be yours! I wouldn't recommend the Mojito Cubano unless you're looking for an average glass of mojito. Recommendations off appetizers: Coconut shrimp- Perfect balance of shrimp and batter. Flavor was on point as well. Crispy onion rings- JUMBO sized onion rings Jumbo Lump Crab Cake- Crab can taste a little like the sea, but the shrimp avocado and mango salsa made up for it. This dish tasted really fresh, I would recommend it if you like crab and shrimp. Warm spinach dip, chips, and salsa- The salsa was delicious! Artichoke was mediocre. Chicken quesadillas- Nothing special Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sliders- This was okay, wasn't extra savory or anything. Habanero wings- Disappointment. Wasn't spicy at all. Interior very spacious and our waiter was friendly. Will be back if in the area.

A: Typical sub shop, except for lazy employee who made my sandwich, who was sitting her big tushie on the counter as I walked inside. Then, you had the dancing dude at the register taking cash and the low quality "college drinking" food that was served. There was a dog that wandered away from its owner at Tempe Town Lake and it was hanging out at my bench and I unloaded most of my Chicken (Frontier) sandwich on the mutt, who seemed to enjoy the pre-cooked chicken strips. Just know that your sandwich will take 15 seconds to make and if you are expecting them to put your chicken on a grill before they serve it up think again. It's all pre-cooked and sitting in bins for who the hell how knows long. This is not a businessman lunch place, it's a late night "we don't care what we are shoving into our face place"

Q: negative

A:
Been here a few times and unfortunately not impressed. They only take cash, service is not especially friendly or helpful, and they are kind of over-priced. Tried several of the baked items and was somewhat underwhelmed- honestly though that may be because I saw them on a TV show and had high expectations- but I have given this place more than just one shot. Bottom line, they are okay but not great and not worth the price.
