I agree with Tim B. The best cheese curds in town and fail-safe. I always have a good time and good conversation here (though be forewarned, it's loud!). I dig the scene and the ambiance, the drinks are *very* affordable and flow readily (great beer specials & I love their old fashioned!). No. 20 is delicious -- can't go wrong with Door County cherries -- and the salad seemingly offsets the inevitable amount of cheese curds and alcohol I will consume at this venue. Though I have been known, on occasion, to order the grilled cheese with bacon. Shame. The service is potentially spotty -- especially on Friday and Saturday nights. In fact, on one occasion I'm quite sure our waitress was completely stoned. Water refills are also hard to come by sometimes. That said, I've never waited more than 20 minutes even with large parties. And the apple pie with a slice of Hook's aged cheddar? Don't pass it up.

Let me start by saying that I love the location in Boca Park and my two star review is based on the condescending service I've gotten at this location. I've been here a few times and I've always left in the mindset that I wont come back. My last visit a few days ago was really off. The woman behind the counter stopped to answer the phone in the middle of taking my order. After hanging up she says to me "apparently I am not competent or intelligent enough to answer simple questions, only the owner can" followed by rolling her eyes. ....ok....? Anyway, after waiting 15 minutes and noticing people who had come in after me all getting their drinks, I asked if my nutella latte was on the way where the same woman told me that someone must have "stolen it." No apology no empathy... whatever it's a coffee shop I guess. But when I told my friend that I met there that the service is always off at this location she said that she asked for 3 ice cubes in her espresso and the same woman said "ok I'll make sure it has exactly 3 ice cubes and no more" in a condescending tone. I don't expect amazing service at a coffee shop but it would be nice if they realized they have a job because of their customers, whether some have picky requests or not. I'll definitely keep going to the Boca Park location where I have an amazing experience every time, but I think next time i'm in this area I'll go to Starbucks which is less than a mile away.

First time to Scottsdale Stadium to watch a spring training game. (My actual first time at the stadium was in 2006 to see the USA vs South Africa in the World Baseball Classic) SO MUCH FUN!! First of all there is nothing better then on a sunny warm day to be outside having a hot dog and beer watching a ball game! The stadium is a nice venue. I am not a fan of the SF Giants, but it was fun watching Barry Zito get killed in the first by his former team!! Can't wait for more games this month!! Here comes the spring!

Four stars for the food and the fact that it's so close to my house. But I have to give the place 2 stars overall for the owner/head waiter. He's so surly and gruff. I'm sure he thinks he's funny and there are some customers that think the same, but he's just a pain in the butt. This is not some New York Deli or Dick's Last Resort. It's a small place that depends on keeping local folks in Mountain's Edge happy. Be polite and courteous. Leave the surly attitude for another venue.
