I love the idea of Genghis Grill and used to go to the Tempe Marketplace location a ton. I love to make my own bowls and I think the quality of the food is really good.
This location was a hot mess though! We went last week and were so disappointed.
Our server explained that his "boss forgot to renew the liquor license."
Ok, I don't know what's worse... forgetting to renew something so important to a restaurant, or having employees who would tell guests something like that. We heard him say the same thing to 2 other tables!
Then we proceeded to watch our server flirt with the hostess while the majority of what seemed like unsupervised staff, jerk around while we waited for our food. I kind of felt like I was in that movie "Waiting," which made me a little nervous to eat my food lol
I'm sorry to give this place such a bad review, but I feel like I owe it to the owner to let him or her know what's going on. If they could only get it together this place could be awesome!
It has everything you need to make a successful restaurant.. good location, great concept, great food, good prices. It just seems like the owners have given up.
If they turn things around I would go back.
