Problem: My husband and I just moved into the neighborhood, not far from this restaurant. The week we moved in, we took his parents to try this place in hopes of it being a new favorite Chinese food place. It was a complete waste of money and a total disappointment. The layout is similar to that of Panda Express, but the food is far from edible. The portions ARE big, I'll give them that, but they have to make up for the lack of taste somewhere. We all felt sick after eating there and we'll never go back.

Problem: You would think with the economy being what it is today, it would be easy for any establishment to hire semi-intelligent people to run the register. I went into sprinkles to taste some of their fall specials and I walked into a scene that was beyond depressing. My first experience with Sprinkles is when I lived in LA. You couldn't get a cupcake without waiting in line at least 30 minutes. Scottsdale, you have 4 perky girls greeting you, with their cupcake themed baby tees the minute you walk through the door. The trays were empty and the selection was bare at best. I ordered 4 cupcakes. NOT rocket science. 1-2-3-4 There was one other woman waiting for a large order, a couple dozen at least. The dingbat ringing us up tried to charge me over $80 for 4 cupcakes!! Whoa! "Are you sure those are mine?" Her response was "is your name Susan?" No it is not. She gives me a blank look like she saw a ghost. So this is uncomfortable. I kindly nudged her by saying "I think my total should be in the $13 range, I only got 4 cupcakes. " "The tag says you got 4 dozen." (i can't remember the exact qty) Now Red Velvet (remember the themed shirts?) is testing my patience. Is that still Susan's order? Oh duh! Now we get it! After all that I get the cupcakes home, and they are dryer than a popcorn fart. Disappointing.

Problem: What a huge disappointment. I am local and work in the vicinity of the Hard Rock. The Pink Taco is generally pricey so I usually save lunch there for a special occasion and was willing to pay extra because of the quality of the food. What have they done to this place? First, they changed the menu and my favorite meal was not on the menu. SO ok. . . I will try something else. . . The chips that came out were dripping with grease, and mostly not edible. The chicken wings contained the driest chicken meat I have ever eaten. The meat seemed frozen and old. The chipolte ranch dipping sause was tasteless, seemed thin and watered down with no heat. The taquitos were burned, served with a lump of so so guacamole. I tried mixing the guacamole with the tasteless chipolte ranch sause to try to get something that tasted good and had a good texture. This didn't work. The margarita which was $12 tasted like a cheap glass of lemonade. . .Come on people. . .at least get the margurita right! The manager did comp the chicken wings. . .We noticed that the people sitting next to us were less than thrilled with their meal as well. . .Whoever is in charge of this place now should be ashamed for taking a place where you could count on good atmosphere and good food into a gastronomic nightmare. It will be a long long time before I go there again, if ever!

Problem: The selection and location of this store is great. I know it may not offer the best prices in town, however, if I can find what I'm looking for and it's difficult to find it in local supermarkets, I'm happy. I love the self-serve grains and nuts section A LOT. You just get what you want and how much you want. Fabulous. And it was easy to find my favorite, Israeli couscous. I also enjoy the ready-made food area. Best salad selections! I love throwing all my favorite vegetables and grains into a container to eat quickly for lunch. They even had a farmer's market in their parking lot called "Food 52" on Friday morning. I didn't get a chance to check it out this time, but I like their location choice since the other two farmer's markets in town are held far from my home.
