| - This historic Scottsdale landmark has been with us for so long that everyone in town has probably eaten there, and if not, at least driven by the pink restaurant.
The food is good, basic comfort food, and the sundaes and shakes are wonderful.
So most folks end their restaurant visit with at least one person from the party visiting the restroom. Save yourself and DO NOT do that here. It was scary, in disrepair, and absolutely filthy. What a sad way for a restaurant to allow their guests to end their dining visit. Why on Earth would a restauranteur allow this to be the last thing their diners experience, thus leaving a bad taste in one's mouth?
Now I understand the historic aspect of a building with regards to being on the Historic Registry limiting what changes can be made, etc... But this in no way has anything to do with cleanliness. The linoleum in the bathroom can come clean if it is scrubbed properly. The walls were also so dirty that it appeared there was greasy grime all over the edging, and mold around the sink. Ick!
So then I left the restroom prompted to look a little more closely at the overall cleanliness of the place. The top backs of the booths were equally grimy where dust has been allowed to settle and remain there. The edges of the floor in the restaurant area looked like the whole tile area in the bathrooms. There were dozens of little flies flittering all around us during our meal.
If the front of the house looks like this, what must the kitchen be like? I have loved visitng Sugar Bowl for decades, but I can assure you I won't be back.
