| - OK... So, my friends and I used to go to Twin Peaks in Scottsdale. It was fun, but it took 30 minutes to get there, so we didn't go very often. The food was decent and the wait staff was friendly and able to get our orders correct. It was also packed every day for lunch, which is generally a good sign.
So, imagine our reaction when a new TP opened up on Camelback! Awesome!
My friends went there while I was out of town and said the food and service were awful. Maybe they ordered wrong... Maybe they had a bad server. Who knows.
So, we went there last week, so I could do a "quality check". There were 6 of us. Everyone got their food at different times. I ordered fish tacos, which was my go to choice at the Scottsdale location. The first one was OK, the second one was bad. I stopped eating after one bite. At least at this time the server was nice and apologized for all the problems in the kitchen.
And today... (You can see that I really gave this place a chance) We had more people from out of town that wanted to go for a long lunch. So, despite my friends original bad experience, and another one the week before, we decided to dare the peaks again.
Mistake.
One guy recommended wings as he had them at another TP and said they were "decent". At this point, "decent" was all I was hoping for. So, I ordered the wings. Another person ordered grilled chicken strips. Same usual fire drill. Long wait for the food, and then everyone receives their meals at different times. The waitress told my friend with the chicken strips, "Don't worry, your chicken tacos will be out soon." Um, that's not what I ordered... I don't want to imagine what happened when she ran away from the table.
Well, the wings were awful. I challenged myself to eat 3 of them (the most cooked looking ones I could see) and stole some fries from others.
When the grilled chicken strips finally arrived, they looked disgusting. Like someone had microwaved some chicken strips and then tried to put some grill marks on them. I told my friend not to eat them.
And then. Oh, there's an and then? Why yes there is. The checks. There were 8 of us. One guy was paying for 3 people and everyone else was paying separately. We do this almost daily without issue. The waitress came back to the table about 4 times before everything was finally corrected and signed.
The one thing I will say, is that it doesn't seem to be the fault of the wait staff. This place clearly suffers from BAD MANAGEMENT. I will never go back.
