Problem: Look,i don't know what the people who gave this place more than one star are smoking, but I could have used it today. Had to drop someone off. Lets give it a try i say to myself. Hmmm looks closed, lights off in the back. Wait a few minutes. Mysterious head pops up, comes out, takes my order. Must buy combo to get slice. Fine. Hmmm where do i sit. Lets try outside since every single table is dirty. Ok after 5 min a slice of cheese pizza is set before me. One taste and i couldn't tell if he gave me pizza or the box it came in. Look I love pizza. I'll even eat totinos, but two bites and i was gone. This place had to be a front for something. Maybe they have a hidden casino in the back. Maybe i didn't give the code word. Smuggling ring perhaps, cause it can't be a pizza place, that's for sure. Please close and make room for something eatable.

Problem: This is the life and i might have just realized it's right before my eyes. After reading the negative reviews and a few salient 5 star reviews I can surmise this: This is NW west coffee done in the desert. Get used to it! I lived in Portland OR and was fueled by Stumptown coffee. Four Barrel is its little cousin, or are they sisters? Competitive brothers? Anyway, it is artisan coffee with emphasis on the process, product and passion. If we could just purge the syrups, fraps and button pressing espresso we would find the coffee gods smiling upon GC. Giant Coffee have beans, dark...flavorful...hard...b e a n s. ... anyway, got lost there for a bit. Flag me. The only real difference between Giant and most NW roasters/cafes is the service. In NW, it is kind of lik this: "Uh you came here to get coffee, you should be lucky we are even making you this awesome espresso and allowing you to drink our art in a cup.... Andddd you still have not ordered. Know what you want before you speak to me." In Giant, " HEY! Lets talk about what you want to talk about, oh you are here for great tasting coffee? I thought we could Socratic method for about 30min?" I personally dont mind the friendly dispositions, it is refreshing to have a little playful banter with my coffee. Everybody is fighting their own battles, and someone saying have a great day after a single serving convo is worth paying 23cents more than going to Starbucks for a drip. This is the life and i might have just realized it's right before my eyes...yep. RL NOte: If the owner or manager doesn't respect the customer, that is always a no in the world of business. No matter where you go in the world, you can never escape douche bags costumers. Get used to it, and make it opportunity.

Problem: Very pleased. They did a fabulous window tinting job with my Boss 302 Mustang and Volvo XC70 wagon at a reasonable price. No mess and they got the work done promptly. Very nice people who provide lots of information about the tinting process. Recommended.

Problem: We were disappointed. Went there for anniversary dinner... There was no Bam, no kicking it up a notch, just kind of taste-free. Although we had three people assigned to the table the service was slow. After dropping the menus it took a while to take our drink order, and then a while longer to get them. but then we got the food before we finished the cocktail. OK. The main complaint is that the food just wasn't that good. Foie gras to start was OK, the wife had the filet and I had buffalo ribeye. I knew buffalo is iffy, whether you get meat or gristle, but the waiter assured me it was not gamey. Well, this one didn't change my mind--the center was good but I had to do a lot of chewing to get to it. The filet was chewy and really had no taste to it. Creamed spinach had a definite cream taste, but where was the BAM? Same thing with twice baked potatoes--too liquid. To finish we had the espresso creme brulee, which was good, but too cold; with chocolate madelines that were not warm, and again, tasteless. Just not worth the price we paid at all. I mean I've had better steak at Outback. Sorry Emeril.
