A: I love ihop. But this one is terrible. I finally decided to try pancakes there and asked if they had real maple syrup. I was told they did and didn't believe them so argued with waiter. He went to the cook to ask and came back saying the hot syrup was real maple. So I trust that advice. Immediately I got a reaction and felt lethargic. Told manager about it and he didn't seem to care that I had an allergic reaction to the false information provided by the staff. Other times I love the tossed salad with chicken. Description says it is tossed with yellow mustard. Normally, at other places it is tossed like it is described. At this one however, they just give it to you on the side. Small nitpick I know, but if you describe something as tossed in he menu, it should be tossed. There are several other examples of bad service and food. I will not be coming back to this terrible restaurant. And I suggest everyone else turn away as well.

Q: negative

A: Great price !! & Clean .. lil noisy AC but a great spot to use for a night n Scottsdale when you had a few drinks.

Q: positive

A: I've been a fan of Carolinas for years, and eaten at all three valley locations. This location , a renovated Fazolli's, is the nicest of the three. The food quality is consistent with the orginal, but the service isn't . It may just be new staff at a new location and will hopefully improve with time. Make sure to get a dozen tortillas to go, these wagon wheel sized delights freeze well and can be enjoyed for weeks.

Q: positive

A:
The place has good food and friendly service. We were waiting in line while someone ahead of us was counting out pennies and taking a long time etc. No big thing to us we weren't in a hurry, but one of the ladies behind the counter came out and took my friend and I's order. I thought that was a nice touch. The food was good, plenty of it and they have dandy pastries. I don't know the names of all of them but they are good. What I really like it the atmosphere. I don't know great mexican food from decent but I do know when I am eating something I like. This place just makes you feel like you are getting the real stuff, whether you are or not. I ate there three times on my last Phoenix visit and will do so again this spring. I recommend it, not that my recommendations on mexican cuisine are anything to write a book about.
