AMAZING (fried) CATFISH, WTH??? I don't like fried food much, and I don't really like fried fish, like fish and chips - ugh, not my thing. This is DIFFERENT, it was light and fluffy, delicious breaded coating that was crispy and had flavor, not greasy. "Juicy and melt in the mouth tender" as DinerGirl says, and LOVE THE HOT SAUCE, so glad my fellow Yelpers told me to use it! Nice big patio out front with tables to watch the light rail zoom by, nice big parking lot out back. Wish Charlie and his wife (who are really NICE people, by the way) would relocate to the east side, as we almost never venture to their part of town, darn it!

I haven't reviewed Pad Thai yet!? How is this even possible? I've referenced it in the past. I suppose that means a review is long past due. A few weeks ago I would have given Pad Thai a solid 3 stars. Maybe even a 3.5. But they let me down today. They let me down hard. It was never the greatest Thai restaurant. The food can be bland. But it was not bad though. The service was always quick and the price was right. It was a good choice for quick easy delivery. Today, however, told a different story. The prices of the lunch options have changed. There is now only a handful of lunches at the previous $5.95 price. Most now are $6 and change. I understand prices fluctuate. It is all part of inflation. But they also seem to have cut the portion. My Mongolian Beef had hardly any beef. It was mostly onion and sauce. It had more flavor than most anything else I've ordered from there. There just wasn't enough of it. And the delivery driver didn't have change. I'll be damned if I am going tip 30% on a delivery from two blocks away. So I gave him my credit card. He wrote the number and expiration date on the order slip and left. That reminds me, I should check my account and see if the correct charge is on there. I hate to cut them out of my life but Pad Thai is on my (insert explative here) list. I'm sure I'll be back. Some day.

We were seated in the bar, waiter took our order and I gave him the Stripes #. After other people delivered the food we never saw him again. I stopped a bar tender passing by and asked if we could get the ranch dressing we ordered. The fries were old, cold, tough so I stopped another gal and asked if we could have something else since they were not edible. No one checked back to see if we were ok. Finally about 20 minutes after we were done eating I stopped the bar tender again and said we had waited a very long time for the bill and whatever happened to our initial server. With professional polish she said they worked as a team and got the bill for us. The bill was wrong as we were charged for the chips and salsa plus my Stripes number was not on it. She handed it off to some other guy who said he would fix it. He only brought back the credit receipt to be signed and I asked him where the receipt showing my account number was, he then brought back a small slip of paper stating how many stripes I had. It looked like the same amount I already had. Anyway, what a fiasco!!! The really troubling part was that the staff was saying how dead it was in there, no business, and when we left there were at least 5 staff standing around talking at the hostess station and one of them said basically thank you and have a nice day. I would have to think long and hard about going back to that Fridays. Some one should have had the courtesy to say the waiter was leaving for whatever reason and that we are handed off to someone else. The bar tender could only say that she was sorry that we fell through the cracks. Really? Slow business day and we were lost to the staff? I think of how patiently we waited before I flagged someone down and now I feel like an idiot. We asked where other TGIFriday's were located and basically there were only two left, the others were closed down by the owner is what a waiter said. Sad, because I really love the service and Jack Daniel's ribs that I get when in California, but Arizona has gone very astray.
