Case: My boyfriend and I try to eat very healthy and were in the area and hungry for dinner. We saw Zoe's  kitchen and thought we would give it a try... The only reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because the girl at the counter was pretty friendly. The food however was bland and terribly unimpressive. I had the Chicken Roll-ups and they were cold, pre-made and lacking in any culinary skill what so ever.  When I ordered them I asked if i could get spinach instead of lettuce and she said they are pre-made every morning so I can't change anything... Also, They claim to be a \""healthy alternative\"" and they ONLY have white flour tortillas and do not offer wheat. In my fruit salad there were 2 ROTTED grapes and when my boyfriend showed them they said \""oh, ok, sorry\"" then went back to whatever they were doing...\n\nHonestly, there are many better alternatives to go to and spend $7-$10 a plate... I do not recommend going there at all

Case: I've been here 6 times in the past 6 months and every visit was the same. When we walked in, we were never acknowledged and stood there for about 15 minutes then decided to seat ourselves. Then once one of the sketchy waitresses notices us, we order. Our food usually comes out fast and it is usually good. We have never been asked how our food is, never got refills, and I got a serious bad attitude from one of the waitresses that I flagged down and asked for a to go box. The coffee sucks and its very unorganized. There is always money left on all the tables for tips that none of the waitresses seem to pick up. The bathrooms are clean but very small. The only reason I come back is because the food is usually good and the prices are really cheap. I just really hate how bad the service is here! The waitresses all look like drug addicts which is typical for AJ. Maybe I'm treated like crap because I'm not one of the usual 90 year old customers??

Case: In the word's of Spongebob Square Pants, \""I'M READY!\"" After ten months of more Mcdonald's than I've probably eaten in the past ten years, I'm ready to leave Australia and return to my home country, the meca of fast food. \n\nThough, I am an avid fan of the New American cuisine (vegan friendly & fair trade) I WANT SOME MEAT. I've made a list of all the fast food spots I plan on hitting up upon arrival back to the states. \n\nThis list reads as follows: \n\n1. In N Out\n2. Whataburger\n3. Wendy's\n4. Taco Bell \n\nAs you can see, In N Out's my number one and this is simply because it's the best. It's funny to see that Mickey D's isn't even on the list when I shamefully admit that my roommates and I eat there maybe once or twice a week.. gross, I know. \n\nLast night over a double hamburger, fries, and a sundae all for 9 dollars, I began explaining In N Out to my house mate. In N Out isn't a place you go for just anything, most people know exactly what they like and order just that, time and time again. \n\nThough the menu is small and simple the big tastes explain it all. The patty's aren't large in any way but the fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion combined make their burgers hard to get a proper bite in your mouth all at once. \n\nI'm not the biggest fan of the fries so I usually opt away from them and snag a couple of my friends though I have come to In N Out alone before (which is not pathetic on any level). So yeah, like I said I get the same thing every time switching back and forth between their delicious lemonade and milkshakes. The good thing about this location is the Yogurtland in the lot right next door. So if you ever see me around the Grigio, dont be surprised if I head over for some dessert after my 'gourmet meal'.\n\nNote for vegetarians: If you're a vego you can order off the secret special menu. This menu is not spoken about, kinda like that guy on Harry Potter who's name shouldn't be said out loud. If you know about the menu and order it theres no problem but there's no chance you're getting an employee to tell you about it! Sorry, I won't be sharing their secrets here but if you're interested definitely look up their secrets online!\n\nSince I've been living in Australia, I've realized how condiments aren't that big over here and find it frustrating how they charge you 50 cents for dipping sauce. Sometimes I can't be bothered spending extra on sauce since even Macca's is an expensive meal but baby do I love me some sauce. In N Out's, Special Sauce is so delicious and definitely worth the extra money for a packet. Though its probably just a mixture of mayo and ketchup (kinda like big mac sauce) it's an essential add on. \n\nThis is fast food but you shouldn't expect it to be quick and easy. Every time I go to In N Out, there's a drive thru line through the parking lot. Thankfully, they've got employees who wear goofy outfits standing outside with Ipads sending your order in when the drive thru is like this.\n\nI understand I may have gotten peoples hopes up but I suggest going into your first In N Out experience with low expectations. I was honestly so dissapointed after my first try at an In N Out near LAX maybe Arizona's In N Out's are just better? I think I had just gotten my own hopes up but whatever the reason was for it to be so bad, I swear after my second try I became addicted.

Case: Most of these Chinese Buffet places are crap... Greasy, sticky, unimaginative cuisine, just quantity over quality. This place is different, and I like it very much! Wifey and I have been a few times, and I took my in laws there recently as well. Things are fresh here, unlike other Chinese buffets (Paradise Valley). They have somewhat decent sushi, and fresh fruit as well. They also have dessert, if you are into that. I would recommend this place and we will be back again!

Considreing the above, classify the following: Rick is AWESOME! I called him Friday for a quote on Monday afternoon. He showed up and gave me a quick verbal quote which was very reasonable  and offered suggestions to help me save money. I asked him when he could do the work and he said let me go get some lunch and I'll be back. He was in a out in about 3 hrs for several issues that other handymen couldn't solve. He's very knowledgeable, personable and cleans up his workspace. Kudos to Rick, well worth every penny!
