Text - Don't come here for the Mexican food. Don't come here for the awesome service. DO come here for a rollicking good time.\n\nMy sweetie pop and I had a Groupon, and we both LOVE Mexican food, so we decided to stop by after seeing the 4pm comedy magic show with Nathan Burton. We sat out on the patio near the outdoor bar. The first thing I noticed about the menu is that this place is EXPENSIVE!\n\nOur server--Britany--was exceptionally adorable. She seemed genuinely helpful and wanted to ensure that our meal was done correctly, but she was quite \""green\"" as a server. We placed our order for an entree salad as our appetizer and our food order at the same time. By the time we had taken 3 bites from our GINORMOUS salad the food runner came out with our plates. I protested and let him know (wasn't it obvious?!) that we hadn't even begun to finish our salad . He said he would bring the food back later, and he came back not more than 5 minutes later and tried to server our plates again. Really?! Yeah, we were still eating the salad, he could see that, but he still looked bewildered as to why we didn't want our entrees at that point in time.\n\nSo, finally,  another lady brings out our food, and lo! I behold the world's smallest $15 chicken burrito! Egad, I asked for a \""wet\"" burrito, and they put the sauce on the bottom of the plate. Hmm, since when did wet plate = wet burrito? I'll never know.\n\nSweetie Pop ate the chicken enchiladas with a combination of the red and the green sauce. Salsa verde is my favorite, but theirs isn't done well here. The red sauce was much better: spicy and delicious. I've NEVER been hungry after eating an entree sized burrito, but my tiny little chicken burrito was downright pathetic. Who puts CUBED chicken in a burrito anyway? Carlos and Charlie's does.\n\nWe were attended by a number of servers, the manager and food runners. However, when we asked the same genius (insert sarcasm here:_____________) who kept bringing our food out prematurely for some water with lemons, he proceeded to bring out one glass of water and a saucer with exactly ONE, according to Sweetie Pop,  \""sad, sorry, sucked on lemon\"" on it. Britney promptly corrected his error (after all there were TWO of us, so why not bring each of us  some water and lemons?) and she apologized for the series of food service mishaps.\n\nUltimately, I would recommend this place for the giant nachos (I saw them on someone else's table)  and the beverages. Thursday is Ladies Night, and ladies get all you can drink frozen margaritas. Bonus! After dinner we danced to the few line dances, and had a good time before calling it a night.\n\nCarlos and Charlie's is a place for fun, not food! Those nachos looked pretty exciting though, and as my girlfriend once told me, \""It's hard to F**K up nachos.\"" Too true.\n\np.s. Contrary to the sign on the way into the building advertising Carlos and Charlie's their happy hour has NOT been \""extended until further notice.\"" It only goes until 6pm...Another disappointment since we arrived at 6:04pm. *sigh*

Text - How does this place still exist? Greeted by muscular woman - disgusting chicken wings - horrible microwaved clam chowder and $8 pint of beer. My night only got better when I got out of there.

Text - I have lived in Phoenix since 1987 and have been going to T.C. Eggington's the whole time. I used to live in Mesa right down the street and would go at least once a week. Now I live in a different part of town but still travel to Eggington's. Over the years I've had about 50-60% of the menu items but keep going back to my favorite thing which is the Cottage Reef omelet. It's a great omelet filled with cream cheese, artichokes, and imitation crab topped with hollandaise sauce.   The crab isn't your ordinary imitation crab. Tom (the owner) has it specially made and it's very high quality. I even order extra crab in my omelet. Omelets come with English muffin and  your choice of potatoes, fruit or cottage cheese. For an extra .75 you can omit the English muffin and potatoes and get an apple or blueberry pancake. This is a great deal seeing how just the apple pancake alone is $7.25 on the menu. I was just at Eggington's last Sunday and one of the people in my party ordered his omelet with the apple pancake. I got clarification from the waitress that the regular apple pancake order is the same amount/size as the side order. So basically you are getting a $7.25 pancake for .75 as long as you can fore go the English muffin and potatoes.   I haven't had a sandwich or salad in many years so I can't vouch for those items recently but the chicken salad was fantastic years ago and I'm sure it still is.    Best omelets in town.    Some of the other reviews on this restaurant talk about the layout and flow of the restaurant.   Having gone here for over 20 years I can say that Tom and Kathy (the owners)  started out with just the part of the restaurant facing the south.   They got so busy and successful they ended up buying the business next to them and added on.   Hence the different layout.

Text - One star might be generous, but it is the lowest I can give.\n\nWhile this is from the same Celebrity Chef as the Bellagio's Prime Steak House; there is little comparison in food between the two.  This was a MAJOR disappointment.  A party of 3; two of us started with cocktails.  Apple Martini tasted like a Virgin Martini.  Had to send it back for Vodka.  Espresso Martini tasted like it was made with burnt coffee.  \n\nAppetizers:  Lobster Bisque - the WORST I have ever tasted.  Campbell's Soup would have been more welcome.  (so would Safeway brand).  Sent it back & got the Foi Gras with Apple Jalapeno Jelly.  Was more like Jalapeno Jalapeno Jelly.  Could not taste any fruit.  Nothing fruity or acidic to cut the richness of the fat that is inherent with Foi Gras.  Simple balsamic Vinegar would have made this far more enjoyable.  At $32.00 for an appetizer it was quite displeasing.  Other appetizers at the table were a Wedge Salad; which came with only a tiny drizzle of Blue Cheese dressing.  It took several requests to get more.  A beet salad was OK, but nothing exciting.\n\nEntree's - Two New York Strips and one of the evening's specials, a 16 oz Bon-in Fillet.  One Strip was ordered Med-Well, came to the table Med-Rare.  The other was cooked properly (Med) but full of Gristle.  The Fillet was the only saving grace of the evening.  Cooked Rare as ordered and cut like butter.  Truly delicious.  All came with the House Verde Sauce on the side (Jalapeno based) which did not compliment the flavor of the meat.  We ordered B\u00e9arnaise on the side, which went much better.  \n\nFor sides, we ordered the Black Truffle Fritters which were listed as being made with a cheese ( I don't recall the exact variety).  They were a house specialty, or so we were told.  Once again, all we could taste was Jalapeno.  I could have sworn that there was even a hint of Jalapeno in the Asparagus.\n\nAfter the main course, we had enough of the very pricy and mostly palate displeasing offerings.  For desert, we went down to the Casino level for delicious offerings at Jean Philippe Patisserie.  \n\nMy advice is to stay far away from here.  If you want a good steak, there are plenty of fantastic options available in Vegas, Including Jean-Georges good offering - the Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio.  His named offering is simply awful! \n\nAs I said, a BIG disappointment.

Text - Located in the heart of Vegas, the hotel is nice and access to shopping stores within the resort makes it very convenient. The downside is that parking lot is far from the hotel. If you don't mind walking a distance, this is great place to rest and have fun. As for the slot machines, I find that other casinos have more variety.

Text - I managed to find a place that is actually worse than Los Sombreros and Los Olivos! Scottsdale is known for food but very average food, but even with those low expectations, this small restaurant failed to live up to its \""New Mexico\"" theme or to the definition of anything that I would consider fit to eat. it's a bit like dining in a small warehouse, crammed in with other people just a bit too closely and having to speak Spanish so that the bored people at nearby tables won't listen in. That works because we were the only Latinos anywhere near the place. \n\nI don't expect Mexican food in restaurants to be like what we have at home so I don't go with preconceived ideas to judge a place but food should be hot and I should not have to pick hard \""things\"" out of my teeth as I eat it. A margarita out of a bottle should not cost seven bucks. These are just basic, common-sense items. Other reviews speak of inconsistency in food and service. I guess we hit it on a very bad night, but we won't be back.

Text - When my boyfriend told me we were heading out to Las Vegas, I swear on my high heels, the first thing I asked was \""CAN WE GO TO M&M WORLD?!?!\"". Ok, it came out more like a squeal/scream, but still. \n\nI'm a huge candy dork. Like way too much. In a weird way. I would rather go to Hershey, PA than Epcot. \n\nAlso, I'm old and one of my favorite candies were the crispy M&M's, and the M-Azing bar. Both are m&m candies, and both have left a hole in my heart (and in my stomach).  \n\nOk, so there's no such thing as M-Azing bars anymore, but I did find out that Crispy m&m's are available in Australia (looks like that's my next vacation!).\n\nOther than that, the whole store is really neat, and the staff isn't jaded or creepy, they're actually really nice. One lady offered to take multiple pictures for us and was super sweet about it the whole time.\n\nI knocked a star for the price, the crowd factor, and the fact that there were no crispies (how do you call yourself M&M WORLD if you don't include all the world's m&ms???).\n\nBut employees are fantastic, the trinkets are neat, and if I would have had to buy silly souvenirs for people, I'd definitely pick them up here.

Text - Spent the entire day there for Sunday Funday football games. There was good and bad. First the service we had was exceptional. Our server was attentive, gave refills, kept up with our many orders, and kept all the checks separate for about 5 different sets of people. We stayed so long because of her service. There were some hits and misses as for the food. Beer cheese pretzel appetizer was terrific and we ended up having 4 or 5 of them between our large group. The soup was alright-nothing special and the grilled cheese was a triple decker (way too big with the mozzarella and cheddar on the sandwich. Fries were good.  Great beer choices and the television screens were perfect for watching with a large group. The bathroom floor (upstairs) was so sticky that it was gross.  We all had a great time, and the server really made a difference. She wasn't flirty at all-she just paid close attention to us all.  Based on the service, I would return and our group said the same

Considreing the above, classify the following: Just waited over an hour. No car, no explanation or why. I canceled the reservation via the national customer service line explaining what was happening. Not even an apology!
