Text - As a member of the Arcadia \""hood\"", my friends and I are always anticipating the next big thing to open in the area. We are HUGE fans of The Grind, so we were anxiously awaiting the grand opening of its sister restaurant, Chick. Appropriately named, Chick serves up hands down the best chicken I've had in quite some time. Not only is this a great place to grab some grub with friends or family, but its a great alternative for take out when your looking for something to feed a group, and not wanting to cook it yourself. I highly recommend the mesquite chicken (perfect for sharing) with the mashed potato bar and creamed corn as sides. There are so many choices and options for sauces and sides, and everything can be washed down with a delicious cocktail. \n\nI was most impressed by Chick's wine presentation. Everything is chilled to a perfect drinking temperature and they have dozens of choices to select from. The decor is cheeky, and represents the ambience of a barn as the sun is rising. They have old school chandeliers and enough room to seat everything from a party of two to a party of eight, without feeling too crowded, yet it's a quaint space, and don't have an overwhelming amount of tables.\n\nAll in all, Chick has the potential to fill in a niche in the \""hood\"" that we haven't seen before, and I can't wait to see them grow, all while stuffing myself with their delicious home cooking.

Text - I've never been a fan of Albertsons.  There's just something about the store that makes me hate my life. It's unnecessarily depressing. \n\nThe produce is unimpressive, prices are higher than most places, and the store is laid out in a bizarre way.  It's understaffed, and the staff that are working seem unhappy. Smile!  I always end up frustrated with the slow self-checkout lanes (I'm referring to the slow computers...not people). \n\nI'll stop by this store when I'm in a pinch and don't have time to run to Safeway or Sprouts.

Text - I'd give them more stars because they are nice and all... BUT I just pulled my car out of the lot, with nothing done to my car, because they tried to charge me $75 for an oil change (no tire rotation, no alignment, nada). $75!!?? They said they didn't have my oil filter in stock so they had to charge me $7 for going to pick it up at another shop. \""OK fine\"". THEN, since my car takes \""fully synthetic\"" oil - it's about $5 more per quart ($25 extra for this type of super-awesome oil apparently). \n\nI was expecting to pay $25-30 for an oil change. I HIGHLY doubt that any other place would charge as much as they wanted. And to those who can pay that, more power to you. I'll stick to going to my car dealer.

Text - This started out much longer then I decided to cut it short and keep to the facts. My 2013 has been a tad bit brutal so on Thanksgiving when check engine light went on I fell further apart. Goodyear whom I have always trusted jumped in to hopefully end 2013 much better than it has been going. Sofia not only handled my major breakdown on the phone well, she handled the business of my car with class and care. With all the other issues going on, I am happy to say they allowed my car not to be another. I am sitting here writing this, crying at the peace of mind that phone call left me in and the kindness in her words. Thank you for your care in customer service, care is how you speak and listen. Care in how you allowed my 2013 to end.\nI will never stray again from Goodyear due to a good coupon.

Text - I had a lot more fun this time at Ditch Fridays.  Mostly because my two free drinks got me a bit twisted and I felt accomplished that I planned this Vegas trip and we got into ditch Fridays with no hassle and within MINUTES.\n\nSIDENOTE TO ALL:  Please use Chris Hornak's services for anything Palms related!\n\nhttp://www.yelp.com/biz/free-vegas-club-passes-las-vegas\n\n(I will be reviewing him and his yelp page)\n\nDitch Fridays was much better this time around for two reasons: Less crowded and less ratchet.  I'm guessing Ludacris brought out the crowd last time I went.\n\nThanks to my wristband with two free drinks, I was on 10.  A miracle how two small, cheap tequila and sweet & sour drinks can get me lit as opposed to their wack ass $36 drink that did NOTHING for me.\n\n I was all up in the water this time, we had an area to put our stuff down near the pool, and my cousins enjoyed themselves.  Music was pretty cool.  Hip hop through most of the visit and I met some cool people this trip.\n\nDitch Fridays and Chris Hornak's list is where you need to be.  Ladies!

Text - RIP. This place has been closed for a long long time. To bad, it was good times.

Text - I feel like I should vomit.  I am not a fan of buffets, especially cheap ones.  I unfortunately am stranded at the fiesta and needed dinner.  I read the reviews and the Mongolian grill sounded doable, love Mongolian grill elsewhere.  Wrong, it's cheap, it's greasy, and not something I enjoyed.  If you want an excellent buffet go to the strip, preferably wicked spoon.

Text - We went to Carrabba's to celebrate my parents 40th anniversary last week. Beginning to end it was great. Charles, our server, was excellent as was all the wait staff we dealt with. The food was really good, the Chicken Parmesan especially. I'll be back for sure.

Considreing the above, classify the following: Went here for a workday lunch, waited over an hour for food and finally told them we'd just take it to-go.  They were very apologetic, comped everything.  Got back to the office and realized that they had messed up my order.  Two chile rellenos instead of the chile relleno and tamale.  The relleno was filled with runny cheese, no meat, and was awful.  Hate to write negative reviews, but this one seems deserved.
