There are very few private corner areas so I don't recommend this place for intimacy like the Scottsdale Lo-Lo's can kind of provide.\n\nI'm very hands-on about the kind of service I receive, I don't just go the easy way, play it safe, hush up or stay complacent. There was a line at the host post with no one there so my friend and I sat at the bar to be served quickly. There's very little seating waiting space and I can't stand in one place that long, as well as many other people, so I disapprove of that aspect...\n\nIt took at least 15 min to be spoken to by a staff member. No one was tending the bar. We didn't have water either until the waitress come over, no straws though, 10 min later... The waitress went over to my *male* friend on the outside of the bar to stand at his side and take his order. I can't hear a thing because the music is blasting and I think we were by speakers. I yelped out \"why don't you come over here?\" and motioned around to me. The waitress just shouted over my friend, leaned in a bit and stood there. I was already very uncomfortably turning my body around so you'd think anyone with sense or eyes would see that and correct it for you to be comfortable. I'm starting to lose my faith in the service industry, anyways...\n\nI asked her if the chef could prepare an entree without certain ingredients, and finally if you can take eggs out of the chorizo and she said, \"I don't know\" and just stared at me, \"well, can you ask\", I inquired, again, there's a pause, and she says, \"you... you want me to ask?\" very slowly... Like it's inconvenient? It's your job. I'll go back there and ask him I don't care, but I don't think it's allowed. So, yes, duh. She goes. It's another 15 minutes. My friend turns to me and says, \"I wonder if that's what you're getting now.\" 5 minutes later she comes back and says the chef says \"it will taste nasty if you took out eggs\". Excuse me? I have always wanted to try their chorizo but I h a t e eggs. I find plain chorizo like from the grocery store that I make *delicious* though! I don't see a reason to add eggs to well-seasoned meat in the first place. I didn't get it but I have a suspicious feeing it would taste fine. Although the waitress said it's basically all eggs and no meat so it's not a good money's worth...well that's stupid.\n\nSo we both ordered chicken dishes, 10 min later it's out, tastes great, just fine there. I read that Lo-Lo's had free sides with the Hood Classics during the month of July but my friend did not receive an extra side or comped side with his Hood Classic dish. Which was the whole point we went but I was so hungry and frustrated I forgot to point it out since we had been there sooo long as it is! The chicken is ok but it has that rubber stiff tendon skin texture (or bone pieces?) sometimes that you see with more \"natural\" chicken that I don't like and the waffles can be sickeningly sweet especially with syrup. It's certainty not good enough to ignore all their failures as a whole chain (see my Phoenix Lo-Lo's) review."^^ . "0"^^ .
