The mood here, or more specifically the mood that this place fosters is its greatest feature.  It possesses an originality and genuineness that is rare.  It's \"a small, modest, European-style restaurant\" that has a big city growing up around it, it's obviously adapting to it's circumstances though but it has avoided becoming generic.  \n\nThe menu items are entirely defined by one or more of the following:  organic, fresh/local, health conscience, and unprocessed.  Their lemonade is perhaps the best I've ever had, and I've only ever had a better Tri-tip sandwich in Austin TX.  The staff are willing to customize nearly anything on the menu for you which I great for people with allergies or sensitives.  Chop Shop isn't without it's faults though which are a product of its virtues; the line to order is insufferable from 11-2, the wait time for food is consistently inconsistent, the seating is terribly uncomfortable and equally scarce, and if you're there for a beer or any drink you have no option but to wait in the unreasonably long line to get it.  \n\nFour stars is perhaps insufficient but five is quite deserved (yet).  Regardless, I'm very happy this place exists and I'm a regular.  #favoriterestaurantintempe
