I used to go here when the staff were knowledgeable, nice, and the prices were just. I usually rent lenses here and get my gear here however in the past year they have slipped into what I call Wal-Martism where they are the only heavy weights around and must bow down. Came here to rent a few lenses: a 14mm canon L(they only had the mark 1) and rented as if it were a brand new just lens of the mark ii. When asked if they will ever upgrade their rental equipment they said "No, we do not give into them just upgrading the lens just so they can sell at a higher price" This is false, I am no expert but the quality and technology called for the upgrade and it was a completely different lens, they felt the same about the 70-200mm. SHAME SHAME...its like comparing a point and shoot to a DSLR. 2nd complaint...On the lens rental that was not upgraded I asked how much to rent for 1 week for a TSE 17mm, on the phone they said $150...wait a minute...website says $135...lady came and said...oh sorry, we need to update our website. I asked for honor and she said no. 3rd. They are way over priced. Look and you will see that compared to other retailers that they are 20% marked up...its like shopping at Bestbuy... Understanding that they been around here along time and probably developed a strong fan base that they will attack me for this review, but lets look at them as a business and not a personal friend. They want money...you got money...enough said. Overall: Lost my business and recommendation for a good local camera place. Last place to ever shop locally and time to take my dollars online. RIP Tempe Camera...until Dr. Frankenstein revives you with adjusted prices, upto date gear, and competent staff.

I have no idea how they ever received a 4 star rating. This place was below mediocre first of all it had a very distinct smell in the whole restaurant and it was not a very appetizing one that's for sure. Secondly the server only came by twice once to get our order and the second time to bring out the food, she never bothered checking up on us or anything we actually had to flag someone else down just to get a refill. The food was ok I ordered two blueberry pancakes with an egg and bacon as well as a half order of the biscuits and gravy. The pancakes tasted as if they used a Bisquick mix and tossed in some unripe blueberries which was very disappointing because I usually LOVE pancakes out. The biscuits and gravy on the other hand were much better but still not good enough to bring me back . John had the country fried steak and gravy served with hashbrowns and eggs. He said the country fried steak itself wasn't bad but not his favorite, the hashbrowns despite having them topped with cheese, onions, peppers and jalapenos were very bland and needed a good dash of salt. Overall you would be much more satisfied going to your neighborhood Denny's than Hoosier Cafe in my opinion.

Saw an ad stating that there was going to be a massive blowout sale here, so my brother's girlfriend and I trekked allllllllllllllllllllllllll the way up St.Laurent, blistered, hungry and tired and... it was totally worth it. Situated on the second floor of a rather shabby looking building, there was a ton of vinyl to look through, lots of giggle-inducing covers and all sorts of classics. There was even a Crown Heights Collective album! HELL YEAH! The sad part was although there were lots of records I couldn't wait to get my grubby paws on, most of them were scratched beyond worth. I ended up with 5 albums and 2 singles for a mere 8bucks. I didn't notice until I returned home that I was over charged, but 8 bucks is not bad to begin with. Will definitely return. Really glad to find a spot like this in Montreal.

Let's just say it how it is, steak and lobster price for happy hour portions! And the drinks........psh! Forget about it! 15 bucks a drink was wayyyyyyy too much! They better hope I am drunk if they ever expect me to pay those prices again! Our waitress was not helpful nor was she ever really acknowledging our existance and when it came time to pay she took forever to come to the table with our bill then took another maybe close to 10 minutes before she came back with our card! After our meal we were still hungry and we had to run to In-N-Out just to feel a little more satisfied!
