Q: This store is pretty small. I went in looking for some large lobster clasps. When I walked in there were 2 ladies sitting at a table in the back, possibly a class. One of them popped up and asked if there was anything she could help me find. She directed me to a section in the back where the findings were on display. It wasn't a very big selection and they didn't have what I needed. I looked around a bit more and didn't see anything that interested me. There was a very large selection of seed beads. If that's what you're in the market for this place might be of more help to you than it was for me.

Q: Nothing stood out for me to go back. The burger was ok, I felt it was a bit bland thou. We also got the oxtail chili cheese fries, which we ok as well; however, for the price point that everything is set at, I wasn't impressed. Also felt the staff also rushed us a bit to order.

Q: This venue has so many good bands come through it because of its size only. Security is below the standard of any other place in Phoenix, the manager is on par with his security team and the bar serves people until they're black out drunk. I literally saw security escort a guy who was stumbling drunk out, only for him to walked right back in past the security guys who'd just thrown him out. They caught it because a patron pointed it out after watching them kick this guy out and tell them that he'd reentered. They're nowhere near any fight that breaks out. The manager is a simple-minded joke of a man with a short temper and a bunch of people around to back up his big mouth so he doesn't get beat. I watched it come close a couple of times. After a couple of visits to this hole, I've had to pass on a bunch of good bands coming through because The Marquee won't see another penny of my or my friends cash.

Q: I heard about Binks from a coworker who had been to Binkley's so I figured I would try it for Mother's Day. Much like another reviewer I hate valet but they were very courteous. Once in the restaurant I how quaint the place was and the decor, several people asked if we had been helped or if we needed anything but that is where the good service stopped. We waited 5 minutes for our table to be prepped, we had a reservation so I'm not sure why it wasn't done already. It then took 10 minutes before some came to our table to give us water, yet another 10-15 minutes before our server came to our table. The drinks took another 15 minutes to get. It was around 5:00pm, there were only about four tables with people so the slow service was inexcusable. Once we ordered the food was delivered in a flash I was lured into the all you can eat pork, salad, bread and potatoes (more on this later), while my wife had the flat iron steak. They has roasted a pig and it sounded like a great special. The food was very good overall, the pork had great flavor and small gristly pieces in it like pork grinds, it made it unique. The steak was phenomenal, cooked to perfection and very tender. Some of the side dishes seem to be over thought and forced. The service is where the experience fell apart, in the 90 minutes we were there the waiter never came back. They never asked if I wanted another drink, how I was doing, refilled the water, nothing. I wanted more of the all you can eat pork special mentioned above but never had the opportunity, the bus boys came and cleared everything but my waiter was nowhere to be seen. After 20 minutes of sitting around with a empty table like I was squatting he finally comes and at that point I was frustrated with the experience and quickly asked for the bill disregarding that I wanted another serving. For the price I expect more from the service industry part of the business. It turned would should have been an excellent dining experience into a less than average, I would gladly go to a place with lower caliber food but better service so I can get more than one drink and actually get more of the food I paid for as part of the advertised special.
