Q: We got invited here, but this place blows. Some nice girls here and there, but too crowded, awful service and the place stinks (not in a good way). Save your money and go to the Spearmint Rhino.

A: negative

Q: This place was highly recommended and it was as good as all the reviews. We had appetizers, dinner, dessert, and drinks here and everything was well worth it. I loved the sweet corn ravioli.

Q: I was at the Mandalay Bay with a group of friends for my boyfriend's birthday. We were all pretty hungry and so we decided to grab some grub before we started partying. Red, White, and Blue is the first restaurant you see when you enter the Mandalay Bay. The restaurant looked decent and the menu looked eye-pleasing. Let me tell you, this place did not satisfy our cravings at all. Let's Start... My friends and I were waiting to be seated. We were informed by the hostess that it would be 10-15 minutes. I did not understand why it would be 10-15 minutes when I can see vacant seats everywhere. The hostess did not seem to acknowledge us at all and I was not pleased with her. At any rate, we finally got seated and we looked over the menu. By this time, I have lost my appetite so I just ordered the french onion soup. I ordered it brown on top like I always do. When it finally came, my onion soup arrived luke warm and I was disgusted by the cheese that came with it. The cheese was like a big brick of melted cheese that was sitting on top of my bowl. The top was brown but as I dug my spoon into the soup, there was barely any broth because the cheese soaked it up. The bottom of the "brick" of cheese was not in solid form and it looked like brains. The waitress saw that I looked unsatisfied and so she asked what was wrong. She was very compliant and she let me substitute it for something else. I decided to get the chicken soup and it tasted like Campbell's. For the prices they charge, you would think it would taste great. Concluding, I will not be coming here ever again. If the soup is bad, why would I try anything else? The only thing I have to say about this place is that the service is good. The food? I just threw up a little.

Q: This location seems to be cursed! Before it was Kozy Cactus, it was a Voodo Daddy's Magic Kitchen & Bar. I didn't dare go near that establishment and now I wonder if a spell was cast on the next business to take its place, because it's a little off. The restaurant is truly cozy. There are TV's everywhere, which is nice. When the place is full on a Friday night, it's loud and hard to hear one another. But it's not as bad as places on Mill Avenue in that way. Handicapped access is in the back at the door that says, "please use the other door". It's OK, that's the right door to use and your only option, as they padlock the front gate. However, if you're in a power chair, don't expect to use the bathroom. Your chair won't fit. This is why I've marked this restaurant as "not wheelchair accessible". It's not really the ambiance or the staff that has thrown my review down to a "one star". It's the actual menu: The food and drink selection and quality are pitiful and over priced. My first meal at Kozy Cactus was when they first opened. I got the Crab Louie salad for lunch. It was really bad. I thought I might have tasted dish soap. My second meal at Kozy Cactus started out with the Pan Sauteed Calamari. It was over chewy, maybe over cooked? Maybe reheated poorly, as I'm sure it was frozen, not fresh. The tomato sauce was good but the bread was straight from an old loaf probably purchased at the grocery store. This dish made me crave Chef Boyardee, it was that bad. Since I couldn't eat much more of it, I asked for a large order of regular fries to split with my friend who also suffered through the Calamari. We inhaled the "regular" fries. They were good. My other amiga ordered the "Pub Nachos". The description on the menu says "thick sliced russet potato chips". Ignore the word "chips". The dish wasn't what she expected. It was thick slices of potato with a bit of cheese on top and some sauteed onions. This wouldn't be called a chip in England, let alone in Arizona where we all understand what a nacho is. My two other dinner compadres stuck to plain old regular tortilla chips and salsa to go with their beers and scotch. They got a small serving of chips and only one refill which took a while to arrive. The variety of drinks is supremely limited. The margaritas are weak but I like them that way. Ultimately, there are a few kinds of beer (not many dark options) and a few kinds of scotch and the rest is at your own risk. This a very basic place to both eat and drink. Too basic. They don't accept credit cards unless you order over $10, which is odd. Bottom line: There are better pubs with better grub up the street.
