0 | I tried to book a meeting there for 150 people, had a great site inspection with Sheldon on the sales staff who promised a great price with a proposal in my inbox by the end of the day. More than 2 weeks, several unanswered phone calls and emails I had my colleague hunt him down via the resort staff, only to be told that he couldn't accommodate us...said he didn't want to tie up the room for just a luncheon when someone bigger might come by and need the space. When we expressed disappointment that it took so long to simply get a 'no' answer, his response was \"it is what it is\". This guy must not have had any customer service training, and he blamed his delayed response on the internet being down...for more than 2 weeks which must also shut down their voice mail and cell phone service, cuz that's how it works.\nHUGE disappointment, bad customer service...I'll be telling everyone I know this story. | en | 166 | tried book meeting people great site inspection sheldon sales staff promised great price proposal inbox end day weeks several unanswered phone calls emails colleague hunt via resort staff told could accommodate us said want tie room luncheon someone bigger might come need space expressed disappointment took long simply get answer response guy must customer service training blamed delayed response internet weeks must also shut voice mail cell phone service cuz disappointment bad customer service telling everyone know story | 78 |
1 | This place gets 2 stars because of its proximity to DT Chandler and the staff was pretty nice. That's about all that's good. We had a work party there and the food was pretty good. But the rooms are not so nice. Had a funky smell and the bed sheets, we noticed when we woke up the next day, were not clean. So that was disturbing. I mean the place isn't terrible but I don't think I'll stay again unless I absolutely have to. | en | 84 | place gets stars proximity dt chandler staff pretty nice good work party food pretty good rooms nice funky smell bed sheets noticed woke next day clean disturbing mean place terrible think stay unless absolutely | 34 |
0 | I had an appearance at the Chandler Performing Arts Center across the street on Saturday, January 25th. My wife and I decided to make a road trip out of it and had intended on arriving a couple of days early to visit with family and do some sightseeing. Since I used to live in Arizona, I wanted to show her around a bit. Our reservation was for the two bedroom Presidential Suite. We arrived in Chandler at 7:10 pm, after driving for nearly eight hours. We pull up to the valet station, but there is no valet in sight. We leave our car in front and go up to the check-in desk and ask about the valet/bell hop. The gentleman behind the counter (I didn't get his name) informs us that the valet/bell hop service ends at 7pm and that we had \"just missed it\" We then proceed to at least check in to our room. The gentleman tells us that the Presidential Suite is occupied. My wife and I were both in disbelief. He said that the current occupant is there for two nights and we were scheduled to stay four nights, so we could move rooms once it's available. To make up for the inconvenience, we were promised all sorts of comps including \"free breakfast\" coupons. My wife and I were so livid and tired we just wanted to lay down. All we requested is for our rooms to be adjoined. While the hotel clerk was scrambling to find us rooms, another gentleman named Brandon recognized me and offered to take our bags to our room. Once we arrived in our rooms, we discovered that our rooms were NOT adjoining. The next morning, we were contacted by the front desk to alert us that the Presidential Suite was available, but it only had one bedroom. The other room would be \"close by\" We decided to just stay put in our original rooms. At least they were next to each other and fortunately, the rooms are very nice. Leading up to the night of my performance, I wanted to get my pants pressed. I called the front desk and I was told that there is no laundry service on the weekends. So, no valet or bell service after 7 and no laundry service on the weekends. I have never heard of this! I thought these were just standard hotel services. I later get a knock on my door by a hotel employee delivering our \"free breakfast\" coupons. I mention the \"no laundry on weekends\" policy and she confirmed it, but offered to press my pants for me. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name but I'm certain I got this service because she also recognized me. Regardless of that, I did appreciate that. \n\nMy wife and I decided to check out a day early, since we'd prefer to be home together instead of in separate rooms. When we checked out we were given our room charges bill and there were no comps or free breakfasts. Needless to say, if we ever return to Chandler, we will not be staying at the Crowne Plaza.\n\nDick Van Dyke | en | 525 | appearance chandler performing arts center across street saturday january wife decided make road trip intended arriving couple days early visit family sightseeing since used live arizona wanted show around bit reservation two bedroom presidential suite arrived chandler pm driving nearly eight hours pull valet station valet sight leave car front go desk ask hop gentleman behind counter get name informs us hop service ends missed proceed least check room gentleman tells us presidential suite occupied wife disbelief said current occupant two nights scheduled stay four nights could move rooms available make inconvenience promised sorts comps including free coupons wife livid tired wanted lay requested rooms adjoined hotel clerk scrambling find us rooms another gentleman named brandon recognized offered take bags room arrived rooms discovered rooms adjoining next morning contacted front desk alert us presidential suite available one bedroom room would close decided stay put original rooms least next fortunately rooms nice leading night performance wanted get pants pressed called front desk told laundry service weekends valet bell service laundry service weekends never heard thought standard hotel services later get knock door hotel employee delivering free coupons mention laundry policy confirmed offered press pants unfortunately get name certain got service also recognized regardless appreciate wife decided check day early since prefer home together instead separate rooms checked given room charges bill comps free breakfasts needless say ever return chandler staying crowne van dyke | 232 |
1 | I was debating whether to rate them 2 stars or 3. I went with 2 stars because Yelp describes that as \"I've experienced better,\" which is definitely the case here. Upon arrival, I was impressed. The place is sprawled out and looks very elaborate. The lobby is big and inviting, and the front desk staff was very friendly. When I got to my room, my impression immediately changed. First of all, every day I stayed here (4 nights) it took forever to get into my room. The lock was very particular about how slowly you pulled out the key card. Then I went in my room and I thought someone was still staying there. The bed had been made and there wasn't other stuff lying around, but there were dirty towels in the bathroom, there was garbage in the bins, there was an open pack of water, and so on. I called the front desk and they said they'd send someone to clean it up, not change my room. I later realized that they probably didn't recognize that I had just checked in, not coming back to my room after being out all day, and I didn't specifically ask to change rooms, so that's probably at least partially my fault. The room itself was spacious and nice with a balcony (that I never used). They gave me a room with 2 queens though, despite my reservation for a king bed. The housekeeping continued to be a problem though. The first day I came back, they put the sheets properly on the bed, but the pillows that I had set aside were not replaced. Also, they didn't replace the soap in the bathroom and one of the towels had brown spots on it. Also, the other bedsheets had spots on them. Fortunately this got better over time and my bed did get made properly and clean towels were delivered. They fixed the shower drain upon my request (it was all clogged up). The breakfast buffet was pretty good, but I was tired of eating the same thing every morning after 4 days. \n\nLike I started with, it wasn't a terrible experience, but I've definitely had better (in fact, just last week, my stay was far more pleasant at another hotel). I don't plan to come back here. | en | 386 | debating whether rate stars went stars yelp describes experienced better definitely case upon arrival impressed place sprawled looks elaborate lobby big inviting front desk staff friendly got room impression immediately changed first every day stayed nights took forever get room lock particular slowly pulled key card went room thought someone still staying bed made stuff lying around dirty towels bathroom garbage bins open pack water called front desk said send someone clean change room later realized probably recognize checked coming back room day specifically ask change rooms probably least partially fault room spacious nice balcony never used gave room queens though despite reservation king bed housekeeping continued problem though first day came back put sheets properly bed pillows set aside replaced also replace soap bathroom one towels brown spots also bedsheets spots fortunately got better time bed get made properly clean towels delivered fixed shower drain upon request clogged breakfast buffet pretty good tired eating thing every morning days started terrible experience definitely better fact last week stay far pleasant another hotel plan come back | 175 |
1 | They charged me $165 per night, the room was not clean, but the it was quiet and next to a golf course. However the staff specially one lady at reception was absolutely incompetent, she messed up even getting us a ride to chandler airport and we ended up paying $20 for a ride that should have been free, beside putting up with the aggravated driver. \n\nBe cautious of the staff since they really are not trained and do not know what they are doing. the breakfast is also horrible | en | 89 | charged per night room clean quiet next golf course however staff specially one lady reception absolutely incompetent messed even getting us ride chandler airport ended paying ride free beside putting aggravated driver cautious staff since really trained know breakfast also horrible | 41 |
3 | Disclaimer: I work for Intel and we get some pretty good discounts and extra services here through corporate contracts. \nThat said, this place is the perfect spot for a business traveler in the Chandler area. The food is good but even if it isn't up your alley you can walk to one of the many restaurants nearby. \n\nRooms are good but not great. Most importantly, the beds are really good. Way more comfortable than the Marriott beds I've had here. \n\nInternet is really fast and reliable, too. Speedtest.net was showing that I was getting around 10mbps down. So pretty good overall. \n\nAll in all I've had a good experience here. If you're a business traveler it's worth a look. If you're an Intel traveler there shouldn't be any other place under consideration. | en | 132 | disclaimer work intel get pretty good discounts extra services corporate contracts said place perfect spot business traveler chandler area food good even alley walk one many restaurants nearby good great importantly beds really good way comfortable marriott beds really fast reliable showing getting around pretty good overall good experience business traveler worth look intel traveler place consideration | 57 |

0 | So disappointed. My husband and I chose this spot to celebrate our 17 year anniversary. I reserved an executive suite for the night with an upgrade to late 7pm check out. I was told check in was at 3PM. We arrived a little after 4PM and was told our room wouldn't be ready for half an hour. At 5:00 we were finally able to check in. On the day I reserved the room I asked for champagne to be delivered and already chilling in our room upon our arrival. I specifically spoke to room service to arrange it, chose the champagne, arranged payment, etc. It was not done. I had to request it again and it was delivered hot to the room. On the day of check out, as I mentioned I paid for the 7PM check out. We were called at 3PM by housekeeping to ask when we would be leaving so they could clean the room. My husband informed them we had paid for 7PM check out but would be leaving a little earlier than that and hung up. Half an hour later, housekeeping beat on our door twice to ask when we were leaving. Completely unprofessional! I wish we'd chosen a different place to celebrate. While the room was nice and the hotel too, everything else overshadowed that and made the price and stay not worth it at all. | en | 232 | disappointed husband chose spot celebrate year anniversary reserved executive suite night upgrade late check told check arrived little told room would ready half hour finally able check day reserved room asked champagne delivered already chilling room upon arrival specifically spoke room service arrange chose champagne arranged payment etc done request delivered hot room day check mentioned paid check called housekeeping ask would leaving could clean room husband informed paid check would leaving little earlier hung half hour later housekeeping beat door twice ask leaving completely unprofessional wish chosen different place celebrate room nice hotel everything else overshadowed made price stay worth | 101 |
4 | I have to laugh when I read all these negative reviews. What the hell were they expecting? Go ahead and compare to a hotel that charges double and then be disappointed when your towels aren't starched flat ironed. I've been here three times and had a good experience. Ann at the front desk has always been there - friendly and helpful. The rooms offer a typical hotel experience; comfortable bed and functional furniture. Not a silly lavish place; just good simple means adequate for a non-pretentious guest. If you're that caught up in \"style\" then go somewhere else so the rest of us can enjoy a modest hotel with solid performance record. I'll book here every time because it's in a great location, has good accommodations and meets my non-pretentious needs. Thank you Ann for being there and making me feel like a returning friend. | en | 145 | laugh read negative reviews hell expecting go ahead compare hotel charges double disappointed towels starched flat ironed three times good experience ann front desk always friendly helpful rooms offer typical hotel experience comfortable bed functional furniture silly lavish place good simple means adequate guest caught go somewhere else rest us enjoy modest hotel solid performance record book every time great location good accommodations meets needs thank ann making feel like returning friend | 72 |
3 | For all my grocery needs, I choose this Basha's located on McQueen and Pecos in Chandler, AZ. It's got decent prices on fresh bread and baked goods, especially those donuts, which I often pick up for work. The vegetarian selection is average, and I can't complain about the selection, though I have seen better prices (at Trader Joe's.) The seafood and deli departments are also great, and the customer service in each is also fantastic. The store is kept clean and offers local products. (I bought this great jack-o-lantern cactus at Halloween that was just perfect for an Arizona Halloween!) The balloons and flowers also make for great last-minute gifts. It's a convenient grocery store, with hours until after 10:00pm even on weekdays! The prices are lower than Safeway and about equal to Fry's. | en | 134 | grocery needs choose basha located mcqueen pecos chandler az got decent prices fresh bread baked goods especially donuts often pick work vegetarian selection average ca complain selection though seen better prices trader joe seafood deli departments also great customer service also fantastic store kept clean offers local products bought great cactus halloween perfect arizona halloween balloons flowers also make great gifts convenient grocery store hours even weekdays prices lower safeway equal fry | 72 |
0 | I used to have a Bashas next to my house which was great. They closed that location. I drove further just to find another Bashas rather than shop at Fryes. I was disappointed everytime I shopped at this Bashas. I know they were going through $$ issues but this place was horrible. I got chicken from the butcher area just to arrive home with rotten chicken that smelled really bad. The rest of the meat selection is also no good. They rarely had items in stock that I was used to buying. I now shop at Fryes. | en | 97 | used bashas next house great closed location drove find another bashas rather shop fryes disappointed everytime shopped bashas know going issues place horrible got chicken butcher area arrive home rotten chicken smelled really bad rest meat selection also good rarely items stock used buying shop fryes | 46 |

4 | Took my 4Runner in because the front grill was detaching from the vehicle. It is a salvage title vehicle that had been in a front end collision and I was starting to see the effects of it. Took it in and got an estimate. Turns out there was a lot more to the issue than meets the eye and the repair was going to cost quite a bit more. Since it was unforeseen they didn't charge me for the time they spent on it. After I picked it up and drove off I noticed they reattached my front grill and basically glued that sucker in place. They went the extra mile for me without even saying anything and I couldn't be happier. No, the core of the issue isn't \"fixed\" but my front grill is back in place and that's good enough for me....especially for free...huge thanks to those guys. If I ever need auto body service in the future I will be going there and will send anyone else in need of body work their way too. | en | 178 | took front grill detaching vehicle salvage title vehicle front end collision starting see effects took got estimate turns lot issue meets eye repair going cost quite bit since unforeseen charge time spent picked drove noticed reattached front grill basically glued sucker place went extra mile without even saying anything could happier core issue front grill back place good enough especially free huge thanks guys ever need auto body service future going send anyone else need body work way | 78 |
1 | The counter lady was uber nice, letting the three of us sample the ice cream flavors. The rum raisin was my favorite, but the textures from the ice cream consistantly was a little gummy. And the bright food colorings reminds me of being at a happy circus but, perhaps in my old age, I prefer things a little more au natural. | en | 61 | counter lady uber nice letting three us sample ice cream flavors rum raisin favorite textures ice cream consistantly little gummy bright food colorings reminds happy circus perhaps old age prefer things little au natural | 34 |
1 | Um, I'm not white but I still didn't like this place, at least not the ice cream. The lady at the counter was really nice and let us taste a few flavors to see which one we wanted which I hate to say were not very good. They each had a weird texture, kind of gummy and grainy like the ice cream was not smooth. It had a grainy appearance and tasted okay but like I said it was not the greatest. \n\nThey have several other things on their menu: nachos, banana splits, fresas eon crema, jugos naturales, shaved ice, aguas frescas, elotes, chamoyadas, raspado, duros, candies, paletas, etc. \n\nYou can't miss the place because it is painted in happy colors with sweets on the outside of the shop. When you walk in everything is pink and blue striped which I love since I love kawaii things and there is a strong smell of sugar in the air which I loved! I think I will give this place one more try before I pass completely. | en | 175 | um white still like place least ice cream lady counter really nice let us taste flavors see one wanted hate say good weird texture kind gummy grainy like ice cream smooth grainy appearance tasted okay like said greatest several things menu nachos banana splits fresas eon crema jugos naturales shaved ice aguas frescas elotes chamoyadas raspado duros candies paletas etc ca miss place painted happy colors sweets outside shop walk everything pink blue striped love since love kawaii things strong smell sugar air loved think give place one try pass completely | 91 |
3 | I had been eyeing this place for a year. The friendly signage made me think that it would be good, but with the bounty of \"gourmet\" paletas in Phoenix I drove past it hundreds of times and never stopped. I finally did and I was rewarded with a delicious variety.

1 | I've given this place 5 chances. 5!!! And they have done a crappy job on my nail fill every single time!! How hard is it? I even speak up and tell them but it doesn't help. They use too much product so the nail looks super thick, don't even try to match other tip color if your missing a nail, and I always have small bumps dried in my polish. They also play Vietnamese movies only... I thought the tv was there to entertain the customers. Guess not. So, if you want a nice fill- go elsewhere. | en | 97 | given place chances done crappy job nail fill every single time hard even speak tell help use much product nail looks super thick even try match tip color missing nail always small bumps dried polish also play vietnamese movies thought tv entertain customers guess want nice go elsewhere | 48 |
0 | So disappointed :(. We were warned to watch out for companies that do not automatically come back to add freon after installation (Hendel's did not do this until we called about problems with our unit 6 months later). I guess we should have listened.\n\nAfter problems about a year after installation, our Hendel's technical then informed us it was wired incorrectly so the system was not working properly. 3 months after our 1-year labor warranty expired, the coil bursts...and they will not cover the labor or freon related items, which adds up to a nice chunk of change (despite a history of problems). \n\nWe have been disappointed in their customer service. You do get the feeling they would prefer you simply go somewhere else if you experience problems. When it comes to communication, it took us a lot of effort to maintain contact and get updates from them each time we had problems. For example, we called them for updates a few times yesterday (we cannot live in our house with 2 kids and 1 on the way, so we were hoping to get a target date for moving back) - each time we called yesterday, they expressed surprise that we had not yet heard back from them with updates (although we did always get promises of a \"call right back\")!. \n\nI so wanted to like them and had handed out their cards to friends - their technicians seemed great - but I've since had to call those friends to take back my recommendation.\n\nWho wants to use a company that informs you your new AC was not installed correctly in the first place? Whether it was related or not, it is disconcerting...and customer service showed no concern about improper installation since \"that's something totally different.\" | en | 294 | disappointed warned watch companies automatically come back add freon installation hendel called problems unit months later guess problems year installation hendel technical informed us wired incorrectly system working properly months labor warranty expired coil bursts cover labor freon related items adds nice chunk change despite history problems disappointed customer service get feeling would prefer simply go somewhere else experience problems comes communication took us lot effort maintain contact get updates time problems example called updates times yesterday live house kids way hoping get target date moving back time called yesterday expressed surprise yet heard back updates although always get promises call right wanted like handed cards friends technicians seemed great since call friends take back wants use company informs new ac installed correctly first place whether related disconcerting customer service showed concern improper installation since something totally | 137 |
2 | What can I say? MEH.\n\nIt's a diner themed to Indiana. I'm amazed that they stay in business with that theme, but what the hey.\n\nThe food is normal diner food, good and greasy, I love that old diner feel. They have that (in my opinion) disgusting biscuits & gravy, which is designed to make Hooiser's the fattest people on earth.

1 | I like biscuits and gravy every once in a while, so I decided to try Hoosier Caf\u00e9. It's an okay greasy spoon breakfast and lunch joint, heavy on the portions and on the grease. My eggs were cooked a perfect over easy, but the hash browns were too greasy to finish, and the sausages were thin, salty pucks. The biscuits were okay, but the gravy was gluey and bland. Still, the place was busy at 10:00 am on a weekday, so I think most people are getting what they want here. It is what it is -- an unapologetic greasy spoon diner that's not pretending to be anything it isn't. You're here for mass quantities, not subtle qualities. | en | 118 | like biscuits gravy every decided try hoosier okay greasy spoon breakfast lunch joint heavy portions grease eggs cooked perfect easy hash browns greasy finish sausages thin salty pucks biscuits okay gravy gluey bland still place busy weekday think people getting want unapologetic greasy spoon diner pretending anything mass quantities subtle qualities | 51 |

2 | Tried this place awhile back and it didn't have anything really that was memorable. Everything seemed just ok. I had a Denver omelet with hashbrowns and toast. My husband had some kind of spanish omelet with biscuits and gravy as his side and english muffin. The waitress brought me the wrong meal but quickly corrected it. However, she really didnt seem very friendly throughout the entire meal. Anyways, like I said, my meal was ok and the hubby said his was ok as well but did say that the gravy tasted canned. The prices were reasonable and their menu had alot of choices. Because of this, I would go again and just try something else and I would go later in the afternoon as it seems like there would be a wait by going earlier. Hope to be able to write a more positive update about this place in the future as it seems to be a hit with many other people. | en | 162 | tried place awhile back anything really memorable everything seemed denver omelet hashbrowns toast husband kind spanish omelet biscuits gravy side english muffin waitress brought wrong meal quickly corrected however really didnt seem friendly throughout entire meal anyways like said meal ok hubby said ok well say gravy tasted canned prices reasonable menu alot choices would go try something else would go later afternoon seems like would wait going earlier hope able write positive update place future seems hit many people | 80 |

1 | My family really likes this place for breakfast and we came here while I was visiting for the holiday. Taking into consideration I eat out much more than they do, I am writing this review from my perspective as a passionate foodie. Overall I give Hoosiers 2 stars.\n\nThe main thing for me when I dine out is the food. I know a lot of people are into the ambiance and service is a factor in the equation. To me I could care less of the environment and will tolerate long line lines and rude employees if the food rocks. At Hoosiers, I found none of the above. \n\nI ordered Corned beef hash and eggs and my brother in law ordered Ham Steak and eggs. I usually choose eggs Benedict or corn beef hash as a means to judge a breakfast joint. I should have asked the waitress if they made their hash from scratch or from a can. When my food arrived, I quickly found out. The hash looked a lot like Alpo and tasted like what I would expect it to. Not much flavor and no texture or substance. It was mixed with a lot of home fried potato's, a trick a lot of restaurants use to make up for the tasteless flavor you would expect from something dumped from a can.\n\nThe eggs were cooked over easy and the potato's were cooked well and tasted pretty good. I think it's sad when the best aspect of a breakfast is the toast! My dining partner thought his food was good and the portions they give are fairly generous. The coffee was average and the refills were not given in a timely manner. \n\nOverall the service was just average. My family are regulars here and seemed to have a good rapport with the staff. Like I said earlier, refills on coffee were not that timely and no one came to followup once we got our food. When I went to pay the bill, the girl at the register had issues with the receipt printer running out of paper. She almost double charged me because she could print my receipt and told me \"I don't think the charge went through\" and asked for my ATM card again. I asked her to make sure before I haded it over. She got some assistance from the manager and I was right, the charge did go through the first time. While trying to straighten this out the line of diners waiting for tables got quite long. No one else offered to start seating customers even thought some guy who I assumed to be a manager (he was walking around while I was there, greeting customers like they do at Walmart, but not really helping anyone).\n\nThis place is located in a strip mall and has plenty of parking available. The inside has some Hoosiers paraphernalia, but seemed to be pretty average. Decent number of tables, but no outdoor seating. The cash register is located right next to the entrance, which creates a \"traffic jam\" for customers paying their bills and those who are waiting to be seated. There is no where inside for people to sit while waiting for a table. Customers have to leave their names and then go stand outside and wait to be called.\n\nChandler and Gilbert have several places for breakfast that rock all over this place. Taking this into consideration, I would not eat at this place again. The food was average at best (corned beef was awful) and the service left something to be desired. It was a holiday period, but I still expect decent service and this place was not that busy when I dined here. Don't waste you time and money with this place. I recommend the Farmhouse Restaurant and Liberty Market.

0 | I have no idea how they ever received a 4 star rating. This place was below mediocre first of all it had a very distinct smell in the whole restaurant and it was not a very appetizing one that's for sure. Secondly the server only came by twice once to get our order and the second time to bring out the food, she never bothered checking up on us or anything we actually had to flag someone else down just to get a refill. The food was ok I ordered two blueberry pancakes with an egg and bacon as well as a half order of the biscuits and gravy. The pancakes tasted as if they used a Bisquick mix and tossed in some unripe blueberries which was very disappointing because I usually LOVE pancakes out. The biscuits and gravy on the other hand were much better but still not good enough to bring me back . John had the country fried steak and gravy served with hashbrowns and eggs. He said the country fried steak itself wasn't bad but not his favorite, the hashbrowns despite having them topped with cheese, onions, peppers and jalapenos were very bland and needed a good dash of salt. Overall you would be much more satisfied going to your neighborhood Denny's than Hoosier Cafe in my opinion. | en | 222 | idea ever received star rating place mediocre first distinct smell whole restaurant appetizing one sure secondly server came twice get order second time bring food never bothered checking us anything actually flag someone else get refill food ok ordered two blueberry pancakes egg bacon well half order biscuits gravy pancakes tasted used bisquick mix tossed unripe blueberries disappointing usually love pancakes biscuits gravy hand much better still good enough bring back john country fried steak gravy served hashbrowns eggs said country fried steak bad favorite hashbrowns despite topped cheese onions peppers jalapenos bland needed good dash salt overall would much satisfied going neighborhood denny hoosier cafe opinion | 107 |
2 | I was in today for late breakfast. I am a regular and I love the food. I always get my standby breakfast bacon and eggs. The best bacon in town and I love that you get biscuits and gravy at no extra charge. With that being said, in the past not only was the food great but so was the service. Today, the food was great the service was not. My server was Shawna in the back end of the restaurant. I watched people from 2 different tables get up and refill their own coffee and iced tea. If there had been a soda machine out front I would have refilled my own drink also, but there isn't so I didn't. I miss the old staff as I have noticed a couple of the girls have left.

2 | Good morning my fellow Arizonian foodies.....\n\nSo by now you realize not only am I a PICKY person but I am proud to say I hail from Chicago and grew up eating at little breakfast dives.\n\nWhen we moved here to Chandler I had hoped to find a good breakfast dive to start the day out right.\n\nOur first day here we noticed Hoosiers and were so excited to give it a shot.\n\nThe first experience was ok. The food wasent the greatest...by a long shot but the service was friendly and quick and the atmosphere was comfortable and reminded me of the midwest.\n\nWe tried again a couple weeks later and noticed, as we did on our first try, that the potatoes,bacon and biscuits/gravy, while good, were warm at best.\n\nI am one who enjoys my food HOT (temperature wise), so by the time I am finishing up it is still a little warm.\n\nThe potatoes and bacon tasted as though they were made hours earlier and they forgot to heat them back up.\n\nI tried a chili cheese omlette today and must say, I was happily surprised that it was quite Yum! It had little green chilis that gave it a sweet taste with a nice bite.\n\nI realize we live in Arizona where people think it is warm year round.....uhh uhh...not the case, it gets downright nippy in the winter and the restaurant is all windows and I froze all thru breakfast....guess theres not too much one could do about that, just bring a hat, gloves and a scarf and you should be ok :)\n.\nAnyway, not too much more to say about HOOSIERS.... its an ok place with ok prices and ok food\n\nI would have given it 2 stars ( ehhh, I've had better) but I have yet to find a really good breakfast dive in the area and MATTS BIG BREAKFAST is just too far to go.....so, you get 3 stars out of default!\n\nGo and give it a try...lets see what you think\n\nand in the meantime.......\n\nBon Appetite' and stay warm | en | 335 | good morning fellow arizonian foodies realize picky person proud say hail chicago grew eating little breakfast moved chandler hoped find good breakfast dive start day first day noticed hoosiers excited give first experience food wasent greatest long shot service friendly quick atmosphere comfortable reminded tried couple weeks later noticed first try potatoes bacon good warm one enjoys food hot temperature wise time finishing still little potatoes bacon tasted though made hours earlier forgot heat back tried chili cheese omlette today must say happily surprised quite yum little green chilis gave sweet taste nice realize live arizona people think warm year round uhh uhh case gets downright nippy winter restaurant windows froze thru breakfast guess theres much one could bring hat gloves scarf ok much say hoosiers ok place ok prices ok would given stars ehhh better yet find really good breakfast dive area matts big breakfast far go get stars default give try lets see meantime appetite stay warm | 159 |

0 | This place is true Midwest, I wanted an omelette with onions and was told .35 extra. The western is the same price so why extra and has more onions. Food is greasy a d hash browns are cooked ahead of time. Eggs were old and toast was cold. This place is a real shit hole. Never going back. The waitress was a grouch and rude as hell. This is not how we are in the Midwest. I have owned restaurants for over 30 years and this is not going to last. I don't know how this place stays busy, but the best thing that they could do is at least smile and be nice to customers.all this took place within the first 5 minutes of the experience.

3 | I'm a purveyor of beauty products, it's true. I have a long history in the industry, especially from my time with a little company called Aveda. One would think that because I spent time doing make-up and massages for women that I would know a thing or two about dyeing my hair. Not so, true believers. I know how to style my hair, but not how to dye it, beyond awful experiments with food colouring and Manic Panic dye in my mother's sink. \n\nSince I've recently moved to Arizona and cash is a little tight, I've become desperate to replicate the pale champagne colour of my stylist without landing myself on the Ramen Noodle line. Well, have no fear, Sally's here! The place was hopping on a Sunday afternoon, which usually means substandard service. Both girls were attentive. One of the salesgirls followed me back to the dye section and gave me expert advice. Rather than power-selling me, she instructed me on exactly what I'd need to use in order to duplicate a double-process and got me the right toner to keep it from getting brassy. For you non-hair people, a double-process is when you use two different chemical processes on your hair. It's commonly used for people who lighten your hair. You bleach the hair and then, apply colour. After she'd told me what to buy, she gave me explicit instructions on how to do it. \n\nThe salesgirl was an angel. Not only did she save me money ($25 with tax as opposed to $100 to $200), but with her handy instructions, I was able to get the results I wanted. What do you know? It worked. I'll definitely be back. I'd always chalked Sally's up as a seedy pseudo-beauty store, but for now, at least until I'm rolling in the green again, I'll continue to visit it to maintain the look I want.

1 | Ok, so it's a Jack in the Box - I'm not exactly expecting Alton Brown to be flipping burgers. However, this specific Jack in the Box seems to constantly be running in slow motion. Since they are open 24/7, it's a great late night drive through spot, and most of my experience is with the drive through. I don't think that I have ever waited for less than 10-15 minutes from ordering to getting my food. Even if there are cars in front of me in line, I still end up sitting at the window for at least 5 minutes. It's like the staff there runs in slow motion. Of course, when you do get it, the food is hot, which is one of the reasons I keep going back. I would rather wait for hot food than have it cold and soggy. Even going inside is like entering a time warp. The last time I went inside, I waited for 15 minutes before my order was taken. There was one other customer inside the restaurant. I then waited for another 10 for my value meal. At once point a server did offer me a free shake for the wait, but by that time I was almost done eating, and really didn't have another 15 minutes to spare for them to make the shake. As far as Jack in the Box's go, this one is pretty sad, but they are saved by being about the only 24/7 drive through in this area. | en | 252 | ok jack box exactly expecting alton brown flipping burgers however specific jack box seems constantly running slow motion since open great late night drive spot experience drive think ever waited less minutes ordering getting food even cars front line still end sitting window least minutes like staff runs slow motion course get food hot one reasons keep going back would rather wait hot food cold soggy even going inside like entering time warp last time went inside waited minutes order taken one customer inside restaurant waited another value meal point server offer free shake wait time almost done eating really another minutes spare make shake far jack box go one pretty sad saved drive area | 115 |

0 | I find out that Saturn has stopped making Roof Racks for my 2003 Saturn Vue which means I cannot get a Roof Rack for my Bikes for road trips, bummer deal. Then I remember how hitch racks have gotten really awesome and that I can get a hitch installed. Well who do you go to for a hitch installation? Google results show that Uhaul is the masters of the hitch install and that being that I call Uhaul. This is where the fun begins, and by fun I mean something akin to stabbing my eyes with a pencil.\n\nThere is a Uhaul, to my chagrin, very close to my house, so I figure it will be most convenient to call them. After numerous rings I get to talk with Robin. It doesn't sound like Robin is having the best of days, or years, or perhaps longer. I tell her that I would like a hitch installed on my car and we go through the make model year routine to determine what I need installed. She wants to know where I want this done, which is an odd question since I called a specific location. We get through that and she gives me the price of $179.95 for parts, labor, and warranty. She lets me know that it may be more depending on how the wiring configuration is done but I let her know that I will not need that since I am putting a bike rack on and that will be it for the foreseable future. I get a confirmation number and she emails me the receipt. I am also told that someone will contact me to setup the appointment. This is June 10th.\n\nOn June 12th, Friday, I still have not received a call so I decide to give the Uhaul location a call back to see whats up with the appointment. I offer my confirmation number but the gentleman just wants my name. He says that the appointment is set up for Wednesday June 17th. I am surprised by this since no one ever called to set that up. I ask if we can get it done on Monday June 15th instead. The gentleman says yes that will be fine and to bring it in at 8am and that it should only take 30 minutes. I enter this into my calendar and go about my weekend.\n\nJune 15th rolls around and I go to the Uhaul for my scheduled appointment for the hitch installation. I am greeted by a gentleman walking away from me to talk with another Uhaul employee, or rather Manager/Owner James Flake. After an awkward minute of me standing at the counter 5 feet away from these two gentlemen talking about their work I finally am greeted by the younger one. I let him know that I am here for my scheduled hitch install which causes him to look over my shoulder to James and laugh. He then lets me know that James will be doing the install. I ask if I should bring the car around back and he thinks this is a good plan.\n\nAs I pull around I see another customer waiting on James and can see that things are going to be moving slowly today. I wait in my car for 10 minutes until James comes up and asks if I know that this appointment is set for Wednesday. I tell him that yes I am aware that originally it was set for that that but that I had called on Friday to reschedule. He lets me know that its going to take a while as he has deliveries to take care of but that I will be his priority. I am okay with this since I have brought my book along and have no appointments till the afternoon.\n\n10am rolls around and James Flake comes in to let me know its all done. We saddle up to the register and he tells me the total is ~$220 which I inform him is incorrect. I tell him that the total parts, labor, and warranty was quoted to me as $179.95. He snickers at me and wants to know who told me that. I explain that it was Robin to which he responds that Robin does not work there. I let him know that it is irrelevant as I was quoted $179.95 and that is what I will be paying. Another Uhaul employee comes over to see what the fuss is about and they start discussing that I was quoted the online price for the hitch which is cheaper than their price. I stand and say nothing to this.\n\nJames is still not willing to offer the price I was quoted so he lets me know that he can take the hitch off. I let him know he is welcome to do so. He then tells me that I will have to wait since he has other customers. This cracks me up because there is nothing better for your other customers than to have one who you are trying to Bait and Switch standing in your store raising hell.\n\nAnother Uhaul employee comes over and his name tag says owner as well. By this time I have found the email and let them see it. They agree to honor the price and I am on my way.\n\nClearly Uhaul has some communication issues between its stores and the central call center that my initial call was routed to. The first issue this caused was that I never got a call back for when the installation would occur. Second when I called to setup the installation time I talked with the store where I was apparently talking to someone too busy to actually write down the appointment that we set up. Third was the price issue. | en | 965 | find saturn stopped making roof racks saturn vue means get roof rack bikes road trips bummer deal remember hitch racks gotten really awesome get hitch installed well go hitch installation google results show uhaul masters hitch install call uhaul fun begins fun mean something akin stabbing eyes uhaul chagrin close house figure convenient call numerous rings get talk robin sound like robin best days years perhaps longer tell would like hitch installed car go make model year routine determine need installed wants know want done odd question since called specific location get gives price parts labor warranty lets know may depending wiring configuration done let know need since putting bike rack foreseable future get confirmation number emails receipt also told someone contact setup appointment june june friday still received call decide give uhaul location call back see whats appointment offer confirmation number gentleman wants name says appointment set wednesday june surprised since one ever called set ask get done monday june instead gentleman says yes fine bring take minutes enter calendar go rolls around go uhaul scheduled appointment hitch installation greeted gentleman walking away talk another uhaul employee rather james flake awkward minute standing counter feet away two gentlemen talking work finally greeted younger one let know scheduled hitch install causes look shoulder james laugh lets know james install ask bring car around back thinks good pull around see another customer waiting james see things going moving slowly today wait car minutes james comes asks know appointment set wednesday tell yes aware originally set called friday reschedule lets know going take deliveries take care priority okay since brought book along appointments till rolls around james flake comes let know done saddle register tells total inform incorrect tell total parts labor warranty quoted snickers wants know told explain robin responds robin work let know irrelevant quoted paying another uhaul employee comes see fuss start discussing quoted online price hitch cheaper price stand say nothing still willing offer price quoted lets know take hitch let know welcome tells wait since customers cracks nothing better customers one trying bait switch standing store raising uhaul employee comes name tag says owner well time found email let see agree honor price uhaul communication issues stores central call center initial call routed first issue caused never got call back installation would occur second called setup installation time talked store apparently talking someone busy actually write appointment set third price issue | 404 |
3 | Its Thursday morning and I arrived at U-Haul little after 8am, told the guy that I needed a fourteen footers for a couple hours, he asked if I had a reservation and I said no, then he asked me what I was moving and where to and I gave him all that info.\nHe set me up in the system real fast, gave me the price quotes and asks if needed boxes or a dolly, told him I didn't have a need for them this time.\nTold me I can get the truck till 12 pm, I asked if we can push that back to 2pm, he said ok, no problem. \nI just wish I could remember his name, he was so friendly and polite, explained things well to me and didn't make me feel like a fool for not having a reservation.\nBrought the truck back at 2pm, passed the inspection and signed my name next to the dotted line on the digital screen.\nRenting the U-Haul was a hassle free process; customer service was great, if I ever need to move again I will be coming back to this place! | en | 188 | thursday morning arrived little told guy needed fourteen footers couple hours asked reservation said asked moving gave set system real fast gave price quotes asks needed boxes dolly told need get truck till pm asked push back said ok problem wish could remember name friendly polite explained things well make feel like fool truck back passed inspection signed name next dotted line digital hassle free process customer service great ever need move coming back place | 75 |
0 | I have been to this location many times to get propane in my truck, and every single time, I have left there feeling very frustrated. To get propane, you pull up to the propane tank area and ring a doorbell to let the employees know that you need assistance. There is no way to communicate with the employees without going into the building, and you can not see to the inside from the propane tank area. There is no way of knowing if the bell worked after pressing the button, and no way of knowing if anyone is at the register area to hear it.\n\nI have never waited less than five minutes for someone to respond at this location, and today it took me more than 25 minutes to get out of there. I went inside the building and could not find ANYONE manning the 'store' and no way to signal or summon anyone, but many employees were standing around in back. I called out to the nearest one, who was cleaning a truck, and told him I needed help. He said he would send someone out, so I went back to my truck to wait. Another five minutes passed, and the same employee drove the truck I had just seen him cleaning to the front. I made him aware that I was STILL waiting, and he said he would send someone. Another five minutes and I felt like I was being held hostage. not being able to leave because my tank was empty and I didn't know if I could make it to another station that sold propane. Yet another employee drove a truck to the front, and I let HIM know I had been waiting a very long time, and he said he would send someone out. Oy. \n\nAfter waiting in 104F heat, someone FINALLY came out and filled my tank, and then the \"pay at the pump\" gadget failed to work, and I was asked to go inside again to pay. Once inside there was some other computer problem and I had to wait another few minutes for that to get sorted out. Twenty-five minutes to get gas in my truck is ridiculous. I have never rented a truck from this location, so I can't speak for their customer service in that area, but I will NOT be using this location again except in cases of extreme emergency. VERY disappointed with my experiences here. \n\nLuckily I work near the Gilbert location, and their customer service is outstanding. I will have to arrange my schedule to fill up there from now on. | en | 434 | location many times get propane truck every single time left feeling frustrated get propane pull propane tank area ring doorbell let employees know need assistance way communicate employees without going building see inside propane tank area way knowing bell worked pressing button way knowing anyone register area hear never waited less five minutes someone respond location today took minutes get went inside building could find anyone manning way signal summon anyone many employees standing around back called nearest one cleaning truck told needed help said would send someone went back truck wait another five minutes passed employee drove truck seen cleaning front made aware still waiting said would send someone another five minutes felt like held hostage able leave tank empty know could make another station sold propane yet another employee drove truck front let know waiting long time said would send someone oy waiting heat someone finally came filled tank pay gadget failed work asked go inside pay inside computer problem wait another minutes get sorted minutes get gas truck ridiculous never rented truck location ca speak customer service area using location except cases extreme emergency disappointed experiences work near gilbert location customer service outstanding arrange schedule fill | 199 |

The girl at the counter was very helpful and told me they could order in any of the PCA products I needed and just let her know when I was getting low and they would place the order for me. COOL!\n\nI'll be returning to get my PCA skin care from now on, and who knows maybe I'll even try out some of their services.\n\nI'm only giving 3 stars since I have not had any treatments here, but they do deserve at least 3 for great customer service. | en | 147 | place really well would even known called skin find salons carry location top list given happened close really surprised walked really nice inside girl counter helpful told could order pca products needed let know getting low would place order cool returning get pca skin care knows maybe even try giving stars since treatments deserve least great customer service | 58 |

2 | I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems like while the quality remains the same, staffing has been a little off at this Safeway lately.\n\nIt used to be that if more than 2 people were in line, they would open a new line. Now, over the past several trips, the lines have been longer and longer. It also appears like there is less staff to bring in carts and help in the aisles. \n\nWhile this is still the primary price I will shop, the little touches that made them better than the other nearby places are starting to slip.

1 | Maybe it's just me but this store is not up to par in my opinion. I always stop here to get money orders for rent on the way home from work and I almost always have to wait at the counter for 5 or more minutes while employees constantly yell \"someone will be right with you\" at me from all directions. The sandwich counter is good although it says sandwich in 3 minutes or its free and it always takes longer. (I never say anything because I don't care, I just don't see the point of the sign.) Their meat section is a joke lacking any real selection. The produce is almost always below my quality standards and is also lacking in selection. Last but most definitely not least they always have just one register open and no self checkout. Overall going there is a highly inconveniencing experience and I would not recommend going there for anything. | en | 157 | maybe store par opinion always stop get money orders rent way home work almost always wait counter minutes employees constantly yell someone right directions sandwich counter good although says sandwich minutes free always takes longer never say anything care see point sign meat section joke lacking real selection produce almost always quality standards also lacking selection last definitely least always one register open self checkout overall going highly inconveniencing experience would recommend going anything | 74 |

2 | Food-wise, I'd give the place another star, but the waitress ruined it for me. La Stalla is located across from the historic San Marcos hotel. It is a very intimate place, bordering sappy-romantic, Italian restaurant.\n\nI dined here for a business talk with possible clients (two awesome children's book authors, by the way). They love this place and I don't blame them. The food is excellent! I had the gnocchi with tomato sauce, topped with slices of fresh mozarella. It wasn't the most divine gnocchi I've ever tasted, but it was certainly delectable. I wished the gnocchis were a little less play-do like (not that I've ever tasted play-do) and a bit more pillowy. Can't complain about the sauce.\n\nOne of my dining partners had chicken soup, which seemed the perfect food for that rainy evening. The other had the chicken marsala, which was devoured heartily. The heavily sauced plate was wiped clean with fresh-baked bread and olive oil. Yes, it's that good!\n\nOh, and the pinot noir from the Russian River area was superb. it was delicate and the aroma was not overwhelming...just the way I prefer.\n\nHere's the problem : KIM. She was our waitress and I think she really should take a lesson about \"when to butt in without being rude.\" Don't get me wrong, she was attentive...in fact too attentive, bordering rude. Remember that this was a business dinner meeting so we had a lot of topics to cover, and KIM managed to butt in at anttime stopping the momentum of what I and my possible clients were discussing. It was flat out annoying. I would be in a middle of a sentence, and she would blurt out, \"care for some more bread, are you doing alright?\" Don't you think that she should've waited for the window of pause and ask that question when that arose?!!!\n\nWell, I didn't finish my pasta dish because KIM kept asking evey 10 minutes if I was done with my meal. Annoying!\n\nAnyway, I highly recommend the place because of their food. But by golly, run out the door if the waitress introduces her self as KIM. | en | 351 | give place another star waitress ruined la stalla located across historic san marcos hotel intimate place bordering italian dined business talk possible clients two awesome children book authors way love place blame food excellent gnocchi tomato sauce topped slices fresh mozarella divine gnocchi ever tasted certainly delectable wished gnocchis little less like ever tasted bit pillowy ca complain dining partners chicken soup seemed perfect food rainy evening chicken marsala devoured heartily heavily sauced plate wiped clean bread olive oil yes good pinot noir russian river area superb delicate aroma overwhelming way problem kim waitress think really take lesson butt without get wrong attentive fact attentive bordering rude remember business dinner meeting lot topics cover kim managed butt anttime stopping momentum possible clients discussing flat annoying would middle sentence would blurt care bread alright think waited window pause ask question arose finish pasta dish kim kept asking evey minutes done meal annoying highly recommend place food golly run door waitress introduces self kim | 162 |
3 | I've driven past La Stalla Cucina Rustica several times on my way to 98 South or El Zocalo but for some reason I'd never eaten there. It might be the long, multi-syllabic name...places with names like that can be a little intimidating sometimes. Still, I was in the mood for a different spot and Italian cuisine sounded good so I thought we'd give it a try. I had the Penne alla Vodka. Let's just say, my plate was clean at the end. My experience with the service was really good. The only hiccup during our visit is that the glass of wine the person I was with ordered had little bits of cork in it. I mentioned it to our server and they quickly apologized and replaced it. No harm done! We finished off having the tiramisu for dessert. It had a really good flavor and the portion size was perfect for sharing. | en | 153 | driven past la stalla cucina rustica several times way south el zocalo reason never eaten might long name places names like little intimidating sometimes still mood different spot italian cuisine sounded good thought give try penne alla vodka let say plate clean end experience service really good hiccup visit glass wine person ordered little bits cork mentioned server quickly apologized replaced harm done finished tiramisu dessert really good flavor portion size perfect sharing | 73 |
1 | Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news ,but I had an awful experience here and it makes me hesitant to EVER go back despite the good reviews for dinner and dessert.\n\nI went for lunch with my husband. I wanted to see the menu first but he wanted to just go for it.\n\nIt's very cute inside, I Loved the Mediterranean/Romantic feel with lighted orange trees and faux rock walls, wood beams and rustic chairs.\n\nI HATE paper table cloths, as they are prone to giving paper cuts and always make me think of Macaroni Grille.\n\nI was not feelin' the menu but decided to try one of their Focaccia Panini's with grilled chicken, tomato, avocado and spinach. My husband ordered pasta with Tuscan meat sauce.\n\nFirst we were served flat diet coke and some day old bread.......sigh.....\n\nGood rustic bread is sometimes chewy and maybe even tough, but never just crumbles the way this bread did...maybe it was more than day old?\n\nMy sandwich arrived and looked OK (notice no picture) After one bite I knew it wasn't good, but I took a few more just to make sure. \n\nThe spinach looked to be from a can or frozen, it was really mushy and the green color was looking really more of a brownish.\n\nMy husband's pasta was piping hot and he said it was OK also but had a weird taste to the meat..??\n\nSO I didn't eat anymore of mine and when the waitress/manager/hostess came over I told her why (spinach and just overall not good) She insisted it was Fresh..............Honey Please! \n\nMaybe last week when they sauteed it but now it was a soggy mess.\n\nI Love spinach and I assure you there is NO WAY that spinach was fresh at any time during the last week!\n\nMy Husband says I need to YELP on my own time!\n\n2 stars for the decor | en | 308 | well hate bearer bad news awful experience makes hesitant ever go back despite good reviews dinner went lunch husband wanted see menu first wanted go cute inside loved feel lighted orange trees faux rock walls wood beams rustic hate paper table cloths prone giving paper cuts always make think macaroni feelin menu decided try one focaccia panini grilled chicken tomato avocado spinach husband ordered pasta tuscan meat served flat diet coke day old bread sigh rustic bread sometimes chewy maybe even tough never crumbles way bread maybe day old sandwich arrived looked ok notice picture one bite knew good took make sure spinach looked frozen really mushy green color looking really husband pasta piping hot said ok also weird taste meat eat anymore mine came told spinach overall good insisted fresh honey please last week sauteed soggy love spinach assure way spinach fresh time last week husband says need yelp time stars decor | 153 |
1 | The first time I went here, the food was pretty good and I really had no complaints. The second time - What the heck happened??? The name of the game that night was how much salt can you ingest in one meal before a stroke occurred? Everything was a salt bomb. Especially the seafood pasta where beside the gross, old mussels the only spice I could taste was salt. The sad part is - I love salt! I won't go back or recommend it to anyone who has hypertension. | en | 89 | first time went food pretty good really complaints second time heck happened name game night much salt ingest one meal stroke occurred everything salt bomb especially seafood pasta beside gross old mussels spice could taste salt sad part love salt wo go back recommend anyone hypertension | 46 |
3 | Very, VERY good Italian! The decor is romantic, I would say it's a good date spot. My husband and I took my mom and sister there moments after we told her I was pregnant so again... so alcohol sampling for me, I promise to go back and update this at a later time. We had the calamari appetizer which was actually very good seeing as how AZ so rarely gets anything fresh. We all ordered and we all enjoyed so much that we had to share. The husband and I shared the Tirimisu for dessert while my sister ordered the Chocolate Souffle. Our Tirimisu was divine and the Souffle was just OK. Definitely recommend this place!

0 | This place has a really nice atmosphere, several good Italian beers on tap and a wonderful wine selection. \n\nThe problem is I have eaten here four times in two years. The two times I had seafood with the pasta I got sick. Like almost food poisoning sick. \n\nNormally I would not have gone back after the first time but my wife loves the atmosphere here. So after 6 months or so I would give in and give La Stalla another try. The seafood appetizer did not sit well with her this last time so we won't be going back again for another try in 6 months. \n\nThis place is busy when the resort is full and not so busy other times so maybe we were just unlucky and got some old seafood. The problem I had with the non-seafood dishes I tried is that they were just OK and you can get just OK Italian food in Chandler at several other places for 1/2 what this place charges.\n\nWe had excellent service 3 times and rude service once. | en | 177 | place really nice atmosphere several good italian beers tap wonderful wine selection problem eaten four times two years two times seafood pasta got sick like almost food poisoning sick would gone back first time wife loves atmosphere months would give give la stalla another try seafood appetizer sit well last time wo going back another try months place busy resort full busy times maybe unlucky got old seafood problem dishes tried ok get ok italian food chandler several places place excellent service times rude service | 85 |

3 | Thank goodness this place was open past nine on a Thursday night. I'll give four stars for that alone, but in all seriousness, our dining experience was very pleasant. The waiter was excellent, knowing exactly what to say and do at all times, and the food was very good. Sometimes I'm disappointed in pasta dishes at Italian restaurants; often they seem to taste better the next day after the flavors have had time to meld, but the Penne alla Norma was very tasty. The wine was good, although I could not finish the large amount poured, but at least I felt I wasn't being ripped off. \n\nNice atmosphere. I look forward to trying this place out again, possibly for take-out lunch when the prices are a little lower. | en | 128 | thank goodness place open past nine thursday night give four stars alone seriousness dining experience pleasant waiter excellent knowing exactly say times food good sometimes disappointed pasta dishes italian restaurants often seem taste better next day flavors time meld penne alla norma tasty wine good although could finish large amount poured least felt ripped atmosphere look forward trying place possibly lunch prices little lower | 64 |
3 | I took my girlfriend to La Stalla for her birthday dinner last night, and we had an excellent experience. \n\nThe tasty complimentary bread was properly warm, good and crusty on the outside but soft inside. Olive oil's on the table, and you pour it yourself. I confess I prefer to have the server pour the oil, but maybe I am spoiled. \n\nI ordered a 2006 Sangiovese (#411 on the wine list) that our server bought out promptly. It was inexpensive at $40, but very decent for the price. \n\nThe bruschetta was very good, with the right amount of oil. I despise bruschetta that is so crunchy that the tomatoes go flying about the room when you take a bite. La Stalla's was excellent. \n\nMy girlfriend had the Gorgonzola and sweet potato ravioli in cream sauce. I sampled a bit, and it was delicious (and I don't even like sweet potatoes!). She enjoyed it a great deal. \n\nI had the tortelloni aurora, with cheese, veal and prosciutto in a pink sauce. It wasn't *quite* as fabulous as my girlfriend's entree, but was very, very good nonetheless. \n\nWe finished by sharing a creme brulee, which was also very good, though not particularly distinguished from any good creme brulee. \n\nThe atmosphere was excellent, with the room full of adults and no screaming kids underfoot. The music was at volume appropriate to conversation, and the goldfish in the little pond behind our table were very polite. Most people were dressed casually but not sloppily.\n\nThe service was EXCELLENT. Our waitress was clearly intelligent and perceptive, and attentive without being obtrusive. For example, when she noticed the girlfriend and I having a fun conversation, she politely asked if we wanted out entrees to come out quickly, or if we wanted to linger over our appetizer and wine a bit. She was quick with recommendations, had a ready smile, and served everything very efficiently. \n\nIn all, it was about $120 with (a fairly generous, based on the excellent service) tip. I think the experience was worth every penny. | en | 341 | took girlfriend la stalla birthday dinner last night excellent experience tasty complimentary bread properly warm good crusty outside soft inside olive oil table pour confess prefer server pour oil maybe spoiled ordered sangiovese wine list server bought promptly inexpensive decent price bruschetta good right amount oil despise bruschetta crunchy tomatoes go flying room take bite la stalla excellent girlfriend gorgonzola sweet potato ravioli cream sauce sampled bit delicious even like sweet potatoes enjoyed great deal tortelloni aurora cheese veal prosciutto pink sauce quite fabulous girlfriend entree good nonetheless finished sharing creme brulee also good though particularly distinguished good creme brulee atmosphere excellent room full adults screaming kids underfoot music volume appropriate conversation goldfish little pond behind table polite people dressed casually service excellent waitress clearly intelligent perceptive attentive without obtrusive example noticed girlfriend fun conversation politely asked wanted entrees come quickly wanted linger appetizer wine bit quick recommendations ready smile served everything efficiently fairly generous based excellent service tip think experience worth every penny | 164 |

2 | I love downtown Chandler and really wanted to love La Stalla, but my experience fell a little short in several ways. \n\nFirst, the decor is very cute, classy, and welcoming (although I don't like paper table cloths either). \n\nOur group of 4 came at 7pm on a Saturday night, and it was pretty slow. Disappointing, but it is Chandler..... \n\nNow I don't usually do pasta since I watch my figure, but I was looking forward to trying a new dish. The bread that comes out was good, but seemed bland with just the olive oil. We got one small basket for the 4 of us, and had to ask for more with our meals. I hate asking for more bread (does that make us seem like pigs?), and wish it would have been offered.....but I get it, it's free and the free shouldn't be abused. \n\nSo my husband and I started with the caprese salad, which was just okay. We asked for a side of balsamic to flavor things up a bit, but it never arrived. I went with the Gnocchi, which was absolutely delicious and absolutely a very fattening dish. The gnocchi was stuffed with cheese, followed by a creamy tomato sauce and chunks of mozzarella. The men of the group had the lasagna, and raved. The pizza looked pretty tasty too. \n\nOverall, we just weren't all that impressed, especially for the price and the sophisticated vibe that came up short. | en | 242 | love downtown chandler really wanted love la stalla experience fell little short several ways decor cute classy welcoming although like paper table cloths either group came saturday night pretty slow disappointing chandler usually pasta since watch figure looking forward trying new dish bread comes good seemed bland olive oil got one small basket us ask meals hate asking bread make us seem like pigs wish would offered get free free abused husband started caprese salad okay asked side balsamic flavor things bit never arrived went gnocchi absolutely delicious absolutely fattening dish gnocchi stuffed cheese followed creamy tomato sauce chunks mozzarella men group lasagna raved pizza looked pretty tasty impressed especially price sophisticated vibe came short | 115 |

1 | The place was pretty busy when my husband and I visited one night. \nThe decor was ok but very kitschy.\nMy husband and I split the pear salad although the pears were the ones out of a can. \nThe special that night was beef cheeks which if you are familiar and like them, they can be amazing. But I could barely find them on the plate because they were drowned in a heavy overpowering sauce.\nMy husband had the lasagna which was decent and I honestly had more of that then my entree.\nFor what we had, it was totally overpriced. I could imagine Olive Garden would be just as good. | en | 108 | place pretty busy husband visited one night decor ok husband split pear salad although pears ones special night beef cheeks familiar like amazing could barely find plate drowned heavy overpowering husband lasagna decent honestly totally overpriced could imagine olive garden would good | 42 |
2 | My husband and I decided to try out this place because I was looking to try a new local Italian spot and this place had pretty good reviews on Yelp. \n\nI ordered the Shrimp Scampi with zucchini and my husband and I both tried it and loved it! Not only that, the shrimp was king-size and the waitress recommended an excellent white wine that complimented my dish real well. Forgot the name of it though! However, my husband ordered the Tortelloni Aurora and we both agreed it was awful. \n\nThey have a fresh dessert menu, but we didn't try any of the dessert options because we were full from the bread and food. \n\nThe highlight of our time there was definitely the great ambiance and interior decor! \n\nThey have limited menu selections and one of our dishes wasn't so appetizing, so we give this place a 3 out of 5. | en | 150 | husband decided try place looking try new local italian spot place pretty good reviews yelp ordered shrimp scampi zucchini husband tried loved shrimp waitress recommended excellent white wine complimented dish real well forgot name though however husband ordered tortelloni aurora agreed awful fresh dessert menu try dessert options full bread food highlight time definitely great ambiance interior decor limited menu selections one dishes appetizing give place | 66 |
3 | I visited this place years ago with a friend. This time my husband and I came for a Friday afternoon lunch. We were pleasantly surprised with the overall visit. The lunch menu is really reasonable on weekdays and the food was outstanding. The bruschetta was so fresh and delicious. The margherita pizza is reminiscent of authentic pizza from Italy. | en | 59 | visited place years ago friend time husband came friday afternoon lunch pleasantly surprised overall visit lunch menu really reasonable weekdays food outstanding bruschetta fresh delicious margherita pizza reminiscent authentic pizza italy | 31 |
3 | I found this place via Yelp because we needed a place to meet some friends in downtown Chandler. This was the winner. Though a bit pricey for the average person, the food definitely made up and was delicious!\n\nI ordered the lasagna. it came out piping hot in a dish and was incredible. Probably the best Ive had outside of home made. A buddy of mine ordered the pizza and it too was great. \n\ni wasn't a fan of their bread so much that they give out before hand. But it's always nice to have something before the main course.\n\nI will definitely go here again! | en | 104 | found place via yelp needed place meet friends downtown chandler winner though bit pricey average person food definitely made delicious ordered lasagna came piping hot dish incredible probably best ive outside home made buddy mine ordered pizza great fan bread much give hand always nice something main definitely go | 49 |
3 | Sweet potato ravioli !!!!! absolutely wonderful.\nAlso tried the spaghetti carbonara and they did not mind adding eggplant to it for me, and it was just delicious as well. \n\nCute little place with an overall good food selection. They have an extensive wine list as well. \nonly thing that bugged the shit out of me was they had that white construction paper covering the cloth table cover and it was just annoying. i mean really? you really cant afford to change the table cloths and wash them so you don't have to use that annoying tacky paper???yucky!\n\nokay I'm done bitchin'\n\noverall nice spot glad i finally checked it out. | en | 107 | sweet potato ravioli absolutely tried spaghetti carbonara mind adding eggplant delicious well little place overall good food selection extensive wine list well thing bugged shit white construction paper covering cloth table cover annoying mean really really cant afford change table cloths wash use annoying tacky paper yucky done nice spot glad finally checked | 53 |
4 | We went to La Stalla on a Saturday night. It's a warm, cozy restaurant that appears to attract an older crowd. Reservations were not needed.\n\nFirst, the bread you get to start seems commercially made. It's really unremarkable and not worth eating on it's own (or with the balsamic they give you). Instead, hold onto it and use it to mop up the sauce from your entree.\n\nSecond, during the summer they have a pre-fixe menu. If you're on a budget, one person can get the pre-fixe and the other just an entree and you'll have more than enough food. It's three courses and a glass of wine, so it was a great deal.\n\nThird, prices online appear to be lower than in the restaurant (although I could be wrong; it just seems cheaper online than what we saw at the restaurant).\n\nWe did just that--pre fixe and entree-- and started with a generous caprese salad. Thick slices of tomatos and mozzarella. It was delicious.\n\nNext, hubby got the tagliatelle alla toscana. It was really just average. Instead, you should get the sweet potato ravioli. Eat just three of your six three-bite pods, and use that bread you've been saving to fill up on the sauce (after all, the cream sauce won't be nearly as yummy the next day!).\n\nWe finished with the cannoli, which weren't overly sweet. Two small lemon-ricotta filled (we couldn't taste the white chocolate) ones. | en | 233 | went la stalla saturday night warm cozy restaurant appears attract older crowd reservations bread get start seems commercially made really unremarkable worth eating balsamic give instead hold onto use mop sauce summer menu budget one person get entree enough food three courses glass wine great prices online appear lower restaurant although could wrong seems cheaper online saw restaurant pre fixe entree started generous caprese salad thick slices tomatos mozzarella hubby got tagliatelle alla toscana really average instead get sweet potato ravioli eat three six pods use bread saving fill sauce cream sauce wo nearly yummy next day finished cannoli overly sweet two small filled could taste white chocolate ones | 109 |
