People just have to let me know. They go to a restaurant in the greater Phoenix area, and they either loved it or hated it--there's not much in between! I created these pages so that you, the visitors to About Phoenix, could have your say. As for the rating, one star is the worst, five stars is the best.
Now, a word of warning--every once in a while I'll get a review from someone who has a specific agenda in mind. A really bad review might be from a disgruntled employee. A really good review might be from the owner or manager. Whatever! It's all for fun!

(Glendale) The first thing we noticed when we arrived was the eerie silence. There was no music playing and it was awkwardly silent. We asked the server to put on some music to liven the atmosphere, after the third request we stopped asking. My wife ordered a glass of chardonnay which tasted like it had been opened for a few days, it was quite sour. The food was very very disappointing! The mashed potatoes were from a powder, we asked the server to verify and he admitted they were not real!! The corn tasted like it was frozen and it was cooked till it was mushy, the beans tasted like they were from a can. As for the meat....the smoked chicken had absolutely no smoke flavor which made us take a smell of the air, no smoke smell inside or out, how do you smoke without a smoker?? I can go on and on, the brisket was a shredded overcooked mess as was the pulled pork, and neither had any hit of smoky flavor or smell, it was hard to tell the difference between the two. If you are looking for good barbeque or any kind of decent meal stay as far away from this place as you can!!

(31st Ave. and Indian School Rd.) Breakfast at the Big Apple was perfect. The meals were as ordered and great! Service was on the spot. I'm going back tomorrow.
