Q: Went back last night for some dinner, had the Mexican burger... not as good as I remember it. Burger was super greasy, they were stingy on toppings and the prices seemed they went up a couple of dollars for a combo.. yes I'll be heading somewhere else from now on.

A: negative

Q: Food is okay but not worth the lengthy wait on weekends. If there were more breakfast choices around this area, TBC would be empty. I've ordered breakfast on two occasions here and both times it came out cold, plus the order was messed up. The outdoor patio on the side street is nice but the Scottsdale Road side gets quite noisy with the traffic. Wait staff and hostesses are nothing fabulous, not overly friendly considering the price and the wait. Maybe I should down a couple Malibu drinks before I come for breakfast and it would be a better experience.

Q: I have been here a lot recently to pick up items I ordered off of their lunch special menus, which ends at 4pm, in spite of the banner hanging outside stating that they have specials all day. Anyway, I feel that their food is good overall, and at lunch special pricing ($4.95 or $5.95) is great on the wallet and your tummy. Unlike some other restaurants that take their time to prepare your order, the cooks working in the back is super fast making your lunch. On my most recent visit just last week at about 2pm, my two orders were prepared, boxed and brought out in under 4 minutes. It was so hot that I burnt my tongue eating a little of it in the car, before I set off to my appointment. Their crab entrees also look really good, and the size of the crabs they serve is pretty big. You can see the crabs in the tank with the lobsters. Anyway, I would be here even more often if it was closer. We were also here recently for an UYE. The food we ordered were all good, nothing to really complain about. I know the waitress really wanted us to order one of the veggie dishes, but we politely declined, since we each picked an item to order, and none of us happened to pick a vegetable dish :p And from speaking to the waitress, the business at the restaurant is pretty much split between hot pot patrons and those ordering off the menu. Labeling items on the hot pot buffet still needs work, but they seem to be getting better. Progress is always good.

Q: Like others have said, it's all about timing with this place. I went on a Sunday night around 6P and they were already out of cupcakes. Um, Sunday is 1/2 price cupcake day and the waiter said they ran out on Saturday night so that perplexed me a bit. Do they make them there, have them delivered, can't they walk over to the Teet and get some cupcakes and pass them off as their own? I would have enjoyed them either way but still the whole notion of no cupcakes threw me off and I don't think our server liked me asking why they were out b/c he started to get a little snippy right after that. I am all for one snark but when you're working for tips and in the service industry, that may not be a good idea. I went with the Combination Slider platter-one mini beef burger, one grilled chicken and one crab cake slider. It was good but not anything to write home about. I had the hummus platter last time I went and wish I would've ordered that again. I think the idea of Crave is great-a dessert bar with food, drinks, hookah in a lounge-y atmosphere. I was going to give this place 3 Stars since I love the atmosphere and idea of it but gave it 2 Stars due to the service I've had the times I've gone there. If I am drinking something adult like, please don't ignore me. Please keep stopping by to need a refill, 95% chance is I do.
