“I don’t usually write reviews, but after what I witnessed at Raising Cane’s last night, I had to speak up. Mohamed isn’t just an employee, he’s a full-on legend.
The dinner rush hit like a Category 5 hurricane. The line was wrapped around the building, someone dropped an entire sweet tea on the floor, a toddler was crying, two DoorDash drivers were arguing, and somehow the fryer sounded like it was preparing for takeoff. In the middle of all this chaos stood Mohamed. Calm. Focused. Fearless.
This man was taking orders, helping coworkers, handing out food, cleaning tables, and somehow still making every customer feel like they were the most important person there. At one point, I’m pretty sure he caught a box combo before it hit the ground with reflexes faster than a Marvel superhero. The crowd erupted. People clapped. A grown man saluted him.
And the craziest part? Mohamed stayed smiling the entire time.
My food was perfect, fresh, and fast despite the madness. Honestly, if Raising Cane’s has any sense, they’ll give Mohamed a raise immediately because that man is carrying the restaurant on his back like an action movie hero.
5 stars isn’t enough. Give this man a trophy, a cape, and a promotion.“

“Their menu is unique, except chips they provide with sandwiches. And you can not swap those chips with anything else :(

Don't know if the place is still open though, most of the time I tried they're closed and not answering phones.“

“The avocado bacon sandwich that I had was very nice with bread nicely toasted and a nice avocado spread with a bit of zing, but not super spicy
The facility was a typical fast food place, reasonably clean and the service was reasonably with the food being nice and fresh and warm.“

“They have excellent chicken 🐔 fingers and the sauce is out of this world 🌎“

“Meet with a group for lunch every Monday. Staff greets us by name, makes us feel welcome, and never makes us feel rushed to leave. Our orders are taken quickly and food is brought to our table. Food is freshly made, arrives quickly and is always hot. Love this place!“

“We’ve had a few visits to Ono Hawaiian BBQ, and there are definitely some standout aspects—along with a few things that could be improved.

The biggest highlight is the quality of the meat. It really stands out and feels closer to what you’d expect from a good sit-down restaurant rather than a typical quick-service spot. The flavors are solid, portions are generous, and the proteins are consistently satisfying.

Where it falls short for us is the side dishes. We didn’t fully understand how the sides come with the combo meals, and the combination of cooked cabbage mixed with fresh vegetables and rice just didn’t quite work for us. The texture and balance felt a bit off, and it took away from what is otherwise a strong main dish.

That said, after looking at their website, it seems like they may have updated or expanded their side menu, which is great to see. If that’s the case, we’d definitely be open to giving it another try—because improving the sides would make a big difference.

Overall, it’s a place with great meat quality and solid value, but held back a bit by the sides. With some improvements there, it could easily become a regular go-to spot for us.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (3.5/5)“

“First time here after living across the street for six months. Was craving a breakfast burrito and our go-to is usually Filibertos, but after looking at the reviews and photos we decided to give it a shot and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Southwest burrito and it was actually really good! The only critique I have as a Mexican is a the salsa, for us (me & my bf) personally it was bland and had no spice; the red one was very thick and tasted like canned tomato and the green one was a little too runny and tasted like tomatillos. The orange juice was delicious and the restaurant itself was very clean, granted we showed up as soon as it opened (haha). Will definitely be going back to try their extensive lunch menu and eventually another burrito that caught my eye with steak and chorizo. Not bad for under $11, oh, and we got a cookie with it too (yummy). Very friendly staff and welcoming.“

“Such a great and unique food spot! Order a couple different dogs and a side. All were top notch and the staff was super friendly!“

“This McDonald’s is a 10 I have been to a few and this is a A plus I will drive out of my way to go to this McDonald’s 🍔“

“Hire honest workers! We went through the drive thru at approx 6:30pm tonIght and ordered 2 small butterfinger blizzards. He said it would be $11 and change. Seemed high to us! We asked for Military discount and gave him $15. He gave us back approx $.40 and argued with us that we gave him $11. We did not have any singles. My husband took $15 out of his wallet and handed it to me. I Looked at it, so I know how much we gave him. Anyway, he pulled a dollar bill out of the. register and said see! I am saying he is a liar and a thief. We will NEVER go back to that Dairy Queen again, even though it is the closest to home.“

“After hearing about some electrical issues in my neighborhood, I decided to get an electrical safety inspection for my home. The technician found a few outdated wires and recommended an upgrade, which I’m so glad I did. It feels so much safer knowing that everything is up to code now.“

“As the one person in the drive thru that gave the team a hard time about my order, I have to say I will be back and truly appreciate the team and Noah going above and beyond to satisfy my craving. I appreciate everything they have done for me tonight and will return simply because of the accommodattions the team made for me. I urge the company to permanently place the double decker taco back on the menu, the ingredients are all in house so it doesn’t make sense as to why it isn’t available. I also asked about the enchorito. Aside from my urge and suggestions, I appreciate the team at this location.“

“Overall this location is very good compared to a lot of other Wendy's I have been to. However, the food is just OK, especially for the Wendy's high prices. The food is better here than some other locations, but it's still mediocre. However, the service has always been fast and friendly at this location.“

“We recently visited MOD Pizza and really liked it! They have so many topping options, especially for vegetarians. You can fully customize your pizza the way you want.

If you go on Sunday with kids, they also have a great kids meal offer with MOD pizza — a free mini cheese pizza and one drink for kids. My kids enjoyed it a lot.

The pizza taste was really good, fresh, and flavorful. Overall a very nice place for family outings and pizza lovers!“

“Never been a big fan of Arby’s, but I wanted to taste just take bites actually they didn’t taste that bad. They looked not too good, but it was OK. I might go back again and get some depending on where I get them this time maybe not the same place I went to I don’t know.“

“I honestly love the two lines, one for drive thru and the other for online orders, we've come a long way in the fast food industry. Lol! I always get the cookies n creme shake, never a disappointment. The mployees there are spot on too.“

“I really love this location, it's barely further from my house than another, but I refuse to go elsewhere- THIS TACO BELL IS AWESOME!!
Food is always so delicious and fresh, and made to perfection. And a huge bonus, they never mess up my order :)“

“Best fast food experience I’ve had in a long time.

I have just left Carl’s Jr. and was honestly blown away by the service. The food came out hot and fresh, and the girl working, Teyha, was so kind and welcoming.

What stood out the most was how she handled a very rude customer. Even though they were being difficult, she stayed calm, professional, and did everything she could to make them happy. You could tell she genuinely cared about doing a good job and taking care of people.

Employees like Teyha are hard to find these days. She deserves recognition for the way she treats customers and the effort she puts into her work. Honestly, she deserves a raise. People who work as hard as she does and treat customers that well are the reason businesses keep customers coming back.

If every Carl’s Jr. employee was like her, I’d eat here every day!“

“Love the food, excellent service! Every single employee is very nice, food is served warm and fresh!“

“This is the best Taco Bell location. The food always comes out fast and the customer service is the best I’ve ever received. Moses is one of the best workers I’ve encountered here. He’s funny, nice, and gives great customer service. He always goes above and beyond. My food is hardly ever wrong and is always hot when I get it“

“It was a great time for my birthday, and first time! I had a beer, watched the crowd, it was a little packed that night but it did not bother me. The service was great for the staff that worked the night of January 24th. They were all efficient, patient, and socialable while working to complete orders. I would love to make another trip in the near future! Thank you all for what you did that night! It was amazing (:“

“cool people ... excellent job very clean“

“Visiting Tempe, AZ and it was strongly recommend by our daughter to eat at Kalos Grill. We all had Rice Bowls (1 - falafal and 2 - lamb). Holy Moly folks, this was, hands down, some of the best I have had!! The flavor, the amount of food, the presentation, and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I recommend this place 110%!! Support the Kalos crew!“

“Chef Lexi absolutely nails it. This pizza is incredibly fresh, perfectly cooked, and just hits right from the first bite. You can tell real care goes into every detail. If you’re a pizza lover, this is the kind of pizza you think about after you leave. Highly recommend.“

“The other night I was starving I pull up to McDonald's drive up after waiting there 7 minutes I left and hit Taco Bell it was a worker who was very polite and assisted me with my order the service was like night and day between the 2 locations 5* service!“

“I have always been a fan of the lunch and dinner Wendy's menu but now that they have the maple chicken biscuits for breakfast? And the biscuitd and gravy! OMH! We are in! Great recipe and we always get good service. We never done in so know zero about that but for a great drive through experience, Wendy's has got you!“

“Reasonably quick, clean, friendly, and tasty. The only thing I could really complain about is maybe the AC being set too low and the prices being a bit too high, but even then, that's everything, not just Chick-fil-A.

I almost never give anything 5 stars under the assumption that nothing manmade is perfect and there's always SOMETHING to improve on, but if I didn't have that belief“

“Always good service when we visit Phoenix. The crew always handles our big complicated orders with ease.. Its definitely a place we have to stop at before we head back to Tucson.“

“burgers are great ain't with the milk shakes“
