Text - I actually really like this Ulta location - the people are always super friendly, it's not crazy busy, even on the weekends, and it's close to home. But after having two of the worst brow waxing experiences of my life at this ulta location, I can't in good conscience return and the 2 star rating is more than deserved.\n\nI recently moved to Vegas from Chicago where I was spoiled with the BEST brow waxers, ever!! So when I came to town, I started looking around for somewhere to make my new brow home. I came into this location by chance a few months back and decided to give their Benefit brow a try. My first wax was perfection - cleaned up my arches but left my healthy, full brows in tact. I was sold. I got the girl's card but sadly lost it before making another appointment. \n\nSo the next time, I called and tried to figure out who I had gotten the wax from last time. After talking to someone there, they said that the girl I was describing sounded like Corinne. So I made an appointment with her and made my way back in. But it was NOT Corinne and my wax was so bizarre I don't even know how to describe it. First of all, she spent a lot of time during my appointment checking out her own makeup in the mirror. It was so awkward. She was also a good 10-15 minutes behind schedule and seemed totally unconcerned about it. That might not be a big deal for her but when you have to call to schedule these appointments a day or two (at least) in advance, a little professional courtesy should be extended to try to keep appointments on track. But the worst part (obviously) was the wax itself. She didn't mess with the arch too much (which I appreciated) but she overly waxed the top of the brow, making them too thin on top and giving me an odd, constantly frustrated look. And she didn't seem concerned at all when I didn't look too happy....\n\nSo after a few weeks of letting them grow and cleaning them up at home by tweezers, I decided to give this location one more try with someone else. I called today to make an appointment and apparently there was nobody at the benefit bar. The girl apologized, kinda (although she really should have apologized for putting me on hold for at least 10 mins for someone she knew wasn't there) and then suggested I get my brows done in the salon - I believe by Frank. She assured me he was very good and booked me for an hour later. Once again, I was super disappointed. Frank (I think that's his name) was super nice but clearly did not know what he was doing. He took a good 10-15 minutes nervously tracing out my eyebrows in peach marker and repeatedly asking me if I was ok with what he planned to do. I suppose I should have gotten up right then and there and walked out but despite his obvious lack of experience, what he traced out seemed fine - there wasn't much that was supposed to be waxed off - so I went ahead and let him wax away. After he was done, he handed me the mirror and asked if there was anything he should fix (apparently brow waxing was either that novel to him or he knew he screwed up) and I couldn't even respond...my brows are the thinnest they have EVER been. There is almost no arch. They look like a thin line, almost straight across, not the archy, natural brows I have spent years perfecting. Yet somehow I feel like the blame is not all his here. Whoever is answering the phones at this Ulta and handing out brow advice should be subjected to a wax by everyone they are recommending because something tells me they wouldn't be so eager to recommend people like Corinne and Frank again. \n\nLong story short: my brows are ruined. It's going to take months to regrow my gorgeous brows and there is no way I'm ever risking return again.

Text - Got a cronut craving? If so, come to Coco's. I was directed here by Amanda M. and if she says it's good, then I know it will be. This new donut place is not too far from my house, so this past Saturday morning, I made the ten minute drive to check out the sugar. The parking lot was deserted when I got there, but the Open sign was on, so I didn't start crying immediately.  I walked into a pristine donut shop, with the cases so shiny, bright, and full of sugary goodness--I don't think I've ever been to a donut shop this clean.  And, lo and behold, one case FULL of cronuts, and no one else was around?  Jackpot!  There was only one cinnamon sugar cronut in the case, so I chose that, as well as a glazed one and one with white frosting, which upon closer inspection at home, had filling.  I'm not a fan of donuts with filling, but that's just me.  There were some pumpkin donuts that I'd like to go back and try, but I felt I needed to exert some self-control on this first visit. Of course, everything else looked amazing, too. I drove home with the smell of the cronuts filling the car and enjoyed that cinnamon sugar delight as soon as I got into the kitchen--delicious!  The b/f started off \""just tasting\"" the glazed one, but ended up killing it, too.  Blessing or curse that Coco Donuts is just down the road?  Only time will tell, but in the meantime, go check it out yourselves for some delicious donuts before word gets out and there's a line for their sugary gems.  There's always room for donuts.

Text - Well, the service was poor & the food was mediocre, at best. Even the chips & salsa were blah, once I finally got them (after the entree arrived & I asked for them).  \n\nGarcia's might be worthy of 3-4 stars in the Midwest, but this is Arizona.  You can do soooo much better!

Text - Love this place! Great for kids...and Adults. Has a variety of pizza to choose from and if you don't see one you like they will make a whole pizza just for you and bring it to your table! There is a kids gaming area in the back that kids can play video games or air hockey. They have great desserts and you can't beat the price for all you can eat. Don't forget to get you punch card validated. With the purchase of 8 buffets you get the 9th free. The to go pizza is a great deal and we will be getting the food there for our daughters b-day party in June.

Text - I gotta say, I really liked the Grind, and so did my family.  We went here this past Friday and all sampled several things off the menu, all of which were tasty and unique.\n\nI tried the asparagus appetizer and the wings, which were both great.  The family enjoyed the fried ratatouille that came with the wings, so the waitress brought us two extra sides of it, which was really nice.  The sauce on the wings was quite good with the wings, ratatouille, and fries.  I ordered the tilapia and shared it with Hubs and he got the sweet and spicy burger.  The burger was fabulous and everyone there agreed it was better than Delux.  Finally, we had dessert... chocolate bread pudding, which was awesome and the donuts, which were great, but the kicker was the butterscotch sauce it came with.  That sauce was GREAT, and combined with the chocolate bread pudding it was close your eyes and enjoy good.\n\nI was extremely satisfied with the Grind and will go again.  Loved the vibe of the place.  The service may have been a bit slow, but the waitress was very nice and we didn't mind the slowness because we weren't trying to rush dinner.  All in all, go to the grind, you'll be happy you did.

Classify the following: We went late November and it was disappointing. Funny how some people think that when you drop lots of cash on dinner, it means the food is good. Not so, dear readers, not so. We had to wait 2 hours for our meal and it was not worth the wait. The simple salad contained 3 leaves and a (yes singular here) slice of picked pear. The pasta with duck sausage I ordered was swimming in oil. They should have called it Drowned Duck Sausage Pasta. It had no flavor nor was not seasoned. Hoping to save the meal, I ordered the Noca Bar for dessert; it was the last hole in a sinking ship.
