A: I have been to other 5 & DIner restaurants and enjoyed my meal, especially the one at the Scottsdale Pavillions. However, I have now had two disappointing meals at the diner at the Arizona MIlls in Tempe. Today's lunch was a terrible affair. We arrived at about 12:30PM and there was maybe only two or three tables occupied. What we'd hoped would mean quick service was anything but. It took forever to get a waitress to take our order, and then a very long time for our meal. I ordered a bacon cheeseburger (was not asked about how done I wanted it, what kind of cheese or anything -- just boom, bacon cheeseburger, NEXT) and my fiancee ordered the chicken finger appetizer. My burger was beyond well done, and dry, but greasy from the cheese and sauces. Furthermore the burger was cold -- and not just from the lettuce. I was hungry and waited too long to bother sending it back. I choked it down with the aid of some decent fries. M'lady's chicken fingers were mistakenly upgraded to a dinner plate, which included fries, corn on the cob, a biscuit, and gravy! So we basically paid double for an order for too much food because the waitress -- or cook -- didn't get the order right. Overall I'm extremely disappointed by this location. I now understand why there were so few people eating there as well.

A: This buffet is one of my favorite place to go in Vegas. The food is great, I've not been disappointed. When I was here early this year, our original server was doing great, but she had to leave forwards the end of our meal. The server that took over for her was horrible! we always had to flag her down if we need a refill on our drinks or even to have her clear our plates. Give this place a try!

A: This place is everything you'd expect and LESS. We came to town for the Phoenix Rock 'n Roll Half Marathon. What a great location; just a few blocks from the the starting point. Shabby and neglected are the hallmarks of this lodging facility. It is long overdue for an entire renovation. The bathroom functions but was dirty and disgusting. The shower had cracked and mismatched tiles everywhere. There is a ceiing exhaust fan missing its cover. No soap, shampoo, or kleenex tissues were provided. In lieu of kleenex was a roll of toilet paper. There are no window coverings in the bathroom. If you're not an exibitionist, this is not a place for you. Switch and outlet plate covers have been painted over mulitiple times and some outlets were not grounded. This is problematic if you have a three-prong cord to plug in. There was so many layers of paint on the closet door that it would stick when opening and closing it. (I think you're getting the picture.) Service. What service? On Saturday we left the room around 9:30 a.m. and returned at 7:00 p.m. Absolutely no room service. The bed remained unmade, no clean towels, and the trash had not been emptied.. The desk personnel were unresponsive and rude. Normal check-out is 11:00 a.m. We were granted a one-hour late check-out. on Sunday When we returned at 11:30 a.m. we had been locked out of the room and admonished for not leaving by 11:00 a.m. Regardless of the convienent location I would not stay here again and would advise others to avoid it to the maximum extent possible.

No one, I mean NO ONE does the thin crust pizza better that Oregano's. 'Tis a real shame this place is no where near my home on So Cal. Their sauce is the perfect amount of salty sweetness and the cheese blend they use is superb. I wouldn't mess around with those specialty pizzas they have on the menus because their classic traditional pizzas are top notch. Please come to So Cal, please ...
