3.75 DO NOT PARK WHERE A SIGN TELLS YOU NOT TO PARK!! YOU WILL BE TOWED!! There are spots in the parking lot with signs that say something like "Military personnel parking only" or some crap like that. If you park there, you will lose your car. It doesn't matter what time it is. Tow trucks come in with their lights off & tow tons of cars away. Can you imagine going to enjoy a show, coming out, & your car is gone?!?!?! The first time I ever came here the door guy wouldn't let me bring my unopened bottle of water in. I take issue with places in Phoenix that don't let you bring water in. Don't you know what dehydration is?! I'm over 21, but I still have a vertical ID. I got my wrist band no problem. It's pretty quiet between bands. I think I heard music once. It gets HOT! They only run the A/C when the bands aren't playing. Wtf is this nonsense?! Run it when they ARE playing; that's when everyone is moving & hot. Sound can suck here. You can barely hear or understand the singers sometimes. The sound guy totally made the drums drown out the lead during 1 band. But then again, 1 band was great when it came to sound. They took time to make sure everyone was balanced. I didn't even bother going into the caution taped off bar area. But it's a pretty big section of the venue. I'm 1 of those people way up close rocking out. It's great up there, even if I do have to tell the 5 foot 13 year old next to me to stop shoving for no reason or she's gonna get an elbow to the face. Hey, it's good to learn venue etiquette early, right? Yeah, for some reason I kind of like the Clubhouse. Hmm must be because I can pay $10-15 to have a great night...

My friend raved about going to cracker barrel so we stopped by. First time coming here from visiting family and i was not impressed. The staff was friendly enough and the gift shop was the best part of the whole place. ..With lots of trinkets to look at and gifts to purchase for whomever. But I'm sorry to say that I was not wowed by the food quality. My mac and cheese was pretty tasty and the chicken fried steak had a good crunch and the gravy was tasty but seemed like it had a little too much flour in it. My sides were luke warm of green beans and hashbrown casserole was mediocre. The green beans tasted like they were out of a can. Nothing about my meal seemed fresh. The only reason I would come back is for the Mac and cheese and to browse the gift shop.

Oh my lord no! The dancers here sure are skinny! In truth, the clientele do seem to be having a good time.

I have visited Yupha's Thai Kitchen once for lunch and once for dinner. Let it be known that they close for a short period between lunch and dinner so you have to make it before 3pm for lunch or after 5pm for dinner. The lunch was very nice although the lunch menu had somewhat limited options in comparison to the numerous dinner menu offerings. The lunch menu offered the most popular Thai fare for an average lunch price. During their lunch hours, Yuhpa's offers a little soup and salad bar at which you can make your own little Thai salad and/or soup. Although soup and salad bar is very basic, I was impressed with sweet and rich peanut dressing and the ornately cut cucumbers. The ambiance was pleasant with it's contemporary decor and high ceilings. My dinner visit was much more exciting as the dinner menu was far more extensive with some unique Thai dishes such as the Thai Jerky with Papaya salad.....both delicious, I might add! The curry was very good also. The presentation of everything was lovely as well. I also noticed upon leaving that they have a live Jazz band that plays on certain nights, something that I will surely be back to check out. Indeed I have many dishes to try before I add Yupha's to my list of favorite Thai restaurants, but it has definitely caught the attention of my taste buds for my future Tempe Thai cravings!
