Problem: In P/M this diner was born and raised The Penguin was where we spent most of our days The Burgers, Pickles, Dogs all cool All drinkin' some pitchers up on a barstool When a family of peeps Who were up to no good Started makin' trouble in our neighborhood They got greedy for cash and in a scandalous move Stole the place from the owners, don't no one approve. We pulled up to the place - it's in such a weird state All emptied and closed, gettin' coats of new paint We looked to the sign, It was still up there Yet another sad victim of corporate warfare.

Problem: I love to read reviews from everybody complaining about the drive to Carefree. I feel your pain when I go to a Dbacks game I live a couple miles down Carefree Highway but in 3 years had never stopped here at the Donkey ..but we went Maybe you have heard the weather in AZ is glorious 9 months of the year and many restaurants have wonderful outdoor seating So we cruised up the road thinking about dinner and at the bar we just had drinks and chips with the fundido. Then we were full. Next time we had drinks and an appetizer and we were full and left. Everything tasty. The drinks were weak, but I like them strong enough to make me scared driving home. Mac and cheese is tasty. I'm going Wednesday for lunch. I will try to get an entree. Someone mentioned they didn't like the crowd. This isn't old town Scottsdale. It is almost Carefree next to an expensive resort. So no rap music or skanks. Older folks with money! Worth a visit if you're in town. If you're staying at the Boulders ask for doubles and stagger back to your room.

Problem: Myself and a group of coworkers decided to come here for lunch. We even called ahead to make sure that it wouldn't be too busy. The hostess assured us that they would be able to accommodate our group of 8 for a quick meal as long as it wasn't busy. We arrived at 12:10. The restaurant is less than half full... We are quickly seated. First I want to say that the place smells. Like an old grandma closet. Mothballs? Dirty antiques? I don't know. But not an appetizing smell. It took 10 minutes for our server to even greet the group. When she finally makes her way to the table she lets us know she has to check on another table first and then she'll Be "right over". What a gem. Her name is Shantih. We immediately placed orders for food and drinks (waters, iced teas soups salads sandwiches..simple order). We explained that we needed eat quickly and return to work. Shantih seemed to understand that concept. 15 to 20 minutes pass (No, this is not an exaggeration) and drinks have yet to be delivered to the table...and it appears that Shantih has vanished, as other tables surrounding us are looking around frantically for her. We kindly ask another server to check on our orders, reiterating that we need to return to work within the hour. Several minutes later our server arrives with our salads, soups and drinks. (Drink order came back incorrect) Great. At this point it's clear that we won't have time to eat our meal in the restaurant, so we ask if we can get our checks and to go boxes... Shantih is extremely rude and short with us. Even interrupting my coworker to explain she will get our checks and boxes when she has time. Never once is there an apology offered or even an explanation as to why it takes 20 minutes for drinks...close to 35 minutes for food. Oh but she did leave us with a half- sincere "Sorry it took longer than you were expecting". Wow. We paid our bills (which were split incorrectly) and left with our food in boxes, which I might add, was mediocre at best. One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We won't be returning.

Problem: I've had a few different smoothies at Jamba Juice - the Mango-a-go-go used to be really good but over time, I find it's now just really sweet & not too impressive. The Caribbean passion is the same way. When they introduced the Fit 'N Fruitful smoothies, I gave those a try, to only find myself disappointed. They almost just tasted watery & unappetizing. I haven't had the oatmeal in a while but it used to be a pleasant breakfast. Since it's hot here 80% of the time, it's nice to get something cold & refreshing but when there are so many competing smoothie places, it's hard to choose Jamba as my place to go.
