Q: I have mixed feelings about this place. I pass it on my way to work every day, and finally I had a chance to try it out after months of intending to. The good: There were only two people working, but they handled a large lunch rush pretty efficiently. I like it that they bring out a complimentary spring roll and soup while you wait for them to take your order. The food came out pretty quickly considering the crowd, and they took my money at the end with no undue delay--maybe a little too fast as I discuss below. The bad: The food was bland. I assume it was catering to American tastes, but when I asked for it to be spiced up (which the menu indicated was an option), I was told that they would give me peppers on the side. Service was not friendly, but not exactly unfriendly either. They could have benefited from one or two extra servers. They also seemed like they were in a big hurry for us to leave, though the crowd was thinning by the time we were done. I'll cut them slack on this one, since it was lunch and I am sure most people are in a hurry. My wife and shared the Thai Hut Chicken Noodles and Pad Thai. The former tasted eerily of Campbell's Chicken and Noodle soup with some of the broth removed, while the latter was no better than the ready-to-eat version that they sell at Fresh and Easy. I'm spoiled living where I do in Tempe, so close to about a dozen really good Thai places, so your mileage may vary. I like the diner-like appearance of the place. It's almost like a Waffle House, only with Thai cuisine (or at least, the watered-down, Americanized version of it. I also appreciate the speed for the lunch crowd. But in all, I was not too impressed. OPTIONS:

Q: I made a appointment for my 2 Cocker Spaniels, 1 for a well visit and the other for a ear infection.We arrived on time and waited about 10 minutes before being taken to the exam room. That was reasonable amount of time. The vet tech came in and did the usual pre-exam..temperature,vaccination check and asked questions about their visit. The vet tech was very nice and caring with my dogs. When she was finished she told us that the Doctor would be with us in a few minutes. We sat in that room waiting 35 MINUTES! Nobody came in to say "we are running behind, thanks for waiting"..NOTHING! I was just about to walk out the door and leave when the Doctor came in. No "sorry for the wait" NOTHING! She went over what the dogs were in for and told us what she was going to do. The Doctor told us some things that were opposite of what the Vet Tech said. I questioned why? The doctor looked at the chart and said OH Yes that is what we are going to do. RED FLAG....My female cocker did indeed have an ear infection and the doctor told us she will need a cleaning solution twice a day and drops once a day then a recheck in 2 weeks. We left the exam room went out front and waited for the medication and invoice. While waiting one of the dogs was getting antsy so I went outside with her and waited for my wife to take care of things. We left and went home. A bit later I took the medication out of the bag to treat her ears. I looked at the invoice and was stunned. $264 BILL!!! Now the office visit charge was high. The medication charge was outrageous! Ear Cleaning Liquid & Ear Drops $96...I went on 1800PETMEDS...$26 with next day shipping!!...called the vet... wont take them back(Never Used Never Opened ok I understand I got screwed) No oh we will do the follow up visit free ($40 charge) SOMETHING Geeez......NEVER again will I get taken to the cleaners by this place!! Do your self a favor and find a Vet that wont empty your wallet! OPTIONS:

Q: With all due respect, fellow Yelpers, I don't know why you like this place. The food is awful and made with cheap, low-quality ingredients that add up to a mediocre meal. I ordered No. 18, the bacon, mushroom, tomato and cheese omelet. My dining companions ordered No. 45 and orange juice, and the waffle special (waffle, egg and sausage). No. 18 was an overcooked, rubbery mess with a couple of mushroom slices, a teaspoon of diced tomatoes and no cheese that I could find. There *was* plenty of bacon. The omelet was supposed to be made with four large eggs--definitely not! The omelet came with toast and hash browns. The hash browns are instant (those of you who have worked in food service know how the dried potatoes are dumped into a bucket of water and allowed to soak overnight). No amount of salsa can make them taste like real potatoes. I ordered whole wheat toast. The toast was made from cheap, stale bread that was a vaguely brown color with no discernable whole grains, and coated with butter-flavored oil. I asked for salsa. It was bottled, not made at the restaurant, and I was charged 50 cents for about a tablespoon of the stuff. Almost every breakfast place has its delicious house-made salsa, but not Ollie's. My dining companions' breakfasts were about the same: overcooked, everything made from instant mixes and the cheapest ingredients possible. The sausage that came with the waffle special was disgusting--the cheap kind with more mystery-meat filler (hope it was soy, but who knows?) than meat and a gross, spongy texture. The OJ my dining companion ordered never arrived. Service: Warm, friendly greeting at the door, but after that, mediocre (waitress forgot stuff, and the male owner was downright surely when I asked for more salsa to drown the hash browns). Ambiance: Extremely noisy. Lots of screaming kids and their parents (who don't behave much better than their kids). Coffee: Mediocre. But in Ollie's defense, I found this to be the case all over Arizona. Apparently, folks in Arizona prefer the taste of Folgers and its bland ilk, because even the hipster breakfast place we went to served it this way. If you want a tasty cup of dark roast, you'll have to go to Starbucks. Bottom line: for the price, about $12 per person, you can do MUCH better. Pass on Ollie's. OPTIONS:
