Studio B is always a pit stop before returning to California. And I never regret it! The layout of this place can be a bit overwhelming - unlike other Vegas buffets, there isn't any signage to point you in any direction. However, after doing a once-over, you'll get an idea as to how it's set up. Overall, I feel the food quality is better than other buffets on the strip (although the new Bacchanal buffet is now my favorite!) and you get the most bang for your buck. This place has the widest variety of desserts: pastries (sugar-free included!), gelato, coffees, and even liqueurs. Obviously not everything is amazing; some items aren't that great (like lobster bisque, clam chowder, and cream of mushroom), but I find that I enjoy the majority - enough to feel money well spent. Also included in the meal are wines and beers. NOTE: If you're looking for a LOT of seafood, you won't find a wide variety here. They do have shrimp and raw oysters and depending on when you go, crab legs. Remember: there's no shame in double fisting platefuls of food. Just wear a loose fitting top...

I would have grown roots waiting for my meal at iBurger except it took about 90 minutes to get some water to grow some! The service is slow. Did I mention that the service was slow? No? Because the service was so slow that we sat around making molasses just to have something to do. As for the food, the tartare was nice. The calamari was very nice, except the two sauces that we served with it. One tasted like tomato juice and the other was mayonnaise based, but nothing special. The burgers were nice, though the flavour of the blue cheese on the lamb burger was so overpowering the lovely lamb burger. The creme brulee was one of the better creme brulees that I have had. But if the service was only faster. Still never got the password for their guest wifi, because we couldn't get a server's attention. Somehow it seems that they thought that if you can do your own ordering that they could skimp on the wait staff, maybe you could, but can you hire someone to fill glasses of water, clear tables and let them help us?

Gross gross gross meatloaf. You'd think a fancy hotel like this would have a chef that could make a somewhat decent meatloaf. The hostess was really nice. The waiter was a little annoying but somewhat nice. I'm just grossed out with my food. My meatloaf was a rubbery hunk of something. My husband had an easier time cutting his steak with his knife. So gross. Boston markets meatloaf is a thousand times better.

This is the only Ben and Jerrys that has successfully withheld the recession in AZ. This means that this is the only one left as well. Its located in a beautiful plaza called El Pedregal. They have live music on Sundays. I found out this information from the friendly owner who told about the history of the store since I asked him if their location was really the only one open in all of AZ. The location is very North Scottsdale. I am not sure how it does for business, it is far from commercial areas. On my drove over, I mostly noticed many well built homes. This is the only Ben and Jerrys left, and I strongly encourage those who enjoy this ice cream to go out and support their business.
