In order to be a kinder and gentler reviewer in these days of rampant nastiness on all social media, my review of last night's attempt at dinner at The Chop Shop will be short and devoid of the spit and vitriol that's so in vogue today. Clean, hip and relaxed. Very, very relaxed. So relaxed in fact that the only order taker spent the better part of 10 minutes on the first 2 in line. They must have been ordering take out for the gang back at the fraternity house. But nay.. I heard one of their totals @ $5.93! The gal taking the order seemed nice enough, pleasant and certainly relaxed as were 3 other guys working there, milling around. Not sure what milling around really means but they were definitely good at it. After the nearly 10 minute wait the line had whittled down to 8ish. Mathematically I envisioned 30-45 minutes just to place our order. Who's got that kind of time? You do the math! If I had more time I'd still find it hard to reward them with my business. Needless to say we left to patronize another of the 1000 dining choices there are in Tempe. I'm sure my experience was an anomaly. So many good reviews from happy patrons, I wish I could say I was one of them.
PS I thought I said this was gonna be a short review..
