okay, so let me preface by saying i am not the pickiest eater despite what my girlfriends say! some may claim the terrible service was b/c i was asking for too much...a straw (in less than 20 minutes), some ice in my soda, a refill, the right order, take my check (in less than 30 minutes) and more...it was a hot mess. She explained the lobster add on ALL WRONG and we sent back 2 of the 4...we thought we were getting ONE roll for $15 for the whole table. smh - it was a hot hot mess...next time (if i go back) i will ask for my meal to be comp'd! the manager was apologetic and said the server had a family emergency to attend to...so why did NO ONE come help us...i could have walked away and not paid and they'd NEVER notice...geez.

food? okay, it's all about the experience here, not top notch quality.

I only came here after they stopped serving food for the nightclub.
Warning: the line gets long if you're not there by 10:30 pm or probably even earlier
Positive: no credit card minimum on drinks at the bar (DC does that EVERYWHERE and it's freakin ILLEGAL).
They have 2 floors here and the music is really good, i've heard better but it's really good, probably top 10 in terms of latin music.
They have a lot of security which is always a good thing, didn't see a single fight here. It was a very fun and chill evening. I'd def go back if I was in AC again.
Don't forget this place is in the Tropicana Hotel & Casino.

I absolutely love this place! They've just rearranged everything so it isn't so crowded. They sell big bags of smaller brands Chips for $1.09 or the smaller name brand Chips for the same amount. Their sodas (i.e. 20 oz Coke) run $1.59. Their sandwiches and subs range from $2 to $6.25. They serve you a ridiculous amount of meat. The meatball sub (my fav) is so delicious and so hot. They're pretty quick with turning out sandwiches.

Look, some people have complained the workers aren't nice...if you're really nice and know what you're ordering and not standing there fumbling with menu options after you've given them your order slip, they're super nice people and will remember you and "welcome you back".

They also have tons of little snacks, almonds and candy bars.

You won't regret coming here, I always feel like I got exactly what I wanted.

I posted a pic of their menu -- feel free to check out the pics (and a couple sandwiches)

4.5 Stars --- As with most stores, it's only as good as the manager. Here, the manager is super sweet and very flexible (unlike standard MK store policies). My husband who knows I'm in love with MK and everything related, he decides to surprise me with a paid of MK high heeled knee high leather boots for Xmas. Of course they're gorgeous and all, just not my style and I'm trying to keep away from heels, I have enough as it is and need to increase my collection of flats. I was heartbroken when I saw the receipt stamped as FINAL SALE and only exchangeable for another size (last part was handwritten by the manager on her business card).

I was sweating walking into MK 2 days after the hubs had bought them. I was preparing for a battle (which I'm pretty dag on good at sometimes). Luckily the manager remembered my husband, I said the shoes just don't fit like I'd like them to, she immediately gave me a sales associate (he felt like a newbie) and said I could exchange for anything I wanted. Say WHAT?! I was ecstatic! I ended up with a paid of Hamilton Riding boots in Mocha and they pulled out at least 7 pairs of shoes for me to try. I went to the register to be checked out and it took an eternity and I think my SA assumed someone else would check me out and that person assumed I was still being helped. Then my SA finally noticed my boots were MIA, he went into the back to find them...all in all, this took over 30 minutes and I was pretty sick and dehydrated and hungry...I wanted out but I patiently waited. I was merely appreciative of getting them exchanged period.

Fast forward a couple weeks and I've worn the new boots to the ground already and I finally decided to take a look in my left boot b/c it felt like I was walking on a rock...little did i know there's a huge bump under the insole and I can't get it out. I had noticed the bump when walking before but assumed it was a rock that kept moving around in the boot. So I took it back to Mont Mall, spoke with the manager again and she called in to other stores to have my same size shipped to the store. I should be getting a call from them when they arrive (it's been 4 business days so far and it's not there yet, I called in to ask today). I'll write a follow up review! So far I'm optimistic :)

fyi - this is not a lifestyle store, so they don't carry everything the MK line has to offer :(

I was so glad to see a new place pop up in the McPherson Square area. This opened up across the street from King of Kabob and next door to Juice Joint.

The Chicken Kabobs ($9.99) come with a lettuce, tomato & purple cabbage salad (automatically dressed with the yogurt sauce), naan bread (only good if eaten warm) and TONS of basmati rice (flavored with cumin).

The chicken is very juicy, not dry at all. The rice is great (half of the rice is doused with some sort of flavoring, feels like they use what is used to marinate the meat in??). The salad is good (no onions which I miss).

I also had the steak kabobs, those are good too (chicken is better) they can be a tad bit chewy.

Also had their vegetable samusa ($1.49) (isn't it samosa?): It was good, nothing out of this world, very spicy on the inside, crispy on the outside.

Service is pretty fast, they accept all major Credit Cards (hate places that don't accept Discover).

If you want a yogurt sauce or spicy sauce, you have to ask for it when picking up your food. The green spicy sauce is TO DIE FOR!! I think it's made with jalapeno, cilantro, and vinegar. I would have actually used the spicy sauce had I not had an emergency visit to the ER yesterday for a major gastritis attack. Why does my body do this to me!!! I want spicy food and I want it all the time, grrrr

I did wish they'd offer a slightly cheaper option, sans bread, it's too much food!

I wished I could give this place a 5 star review, but due to one employee here I can't (she's supposedly a manager). She is a funny gal but also very rude at the same time. I don't get her at all. She made all 3 drinks I ordered wrong last week (for my coworkers and myself). I came back the next day and she had no problem remaking it but then showed me the caramel she added to the cup and said something along the lines "if you can't taste this, then I don't know what to say" and it wasn't said very nicely. I proceeded to smile bc I just wanted out...

I get to the office, ask my coworkers if their drinks were right this time, still not 100% right, but better than the day before.

fyi - I had ordered an iced caramel brulee and a regular caramel brulee and a white mocha, all 3 tasted like regular latte's...I did not pay $4.50 each drink for just a latte! The brulee chips weren't added to the drinks either. Plus my drink had no whip, can I have my fat puh-leaseee

food----if you ever need a last minute meal, please try the chicken and humus. i learned this box meal was amazing when in Vegas, it's a long story, but some spoiled "b" kept me from eating on a normal schedule (necessary for hypoglycemic people). so when i needed to eat again, i would chow down one of these and they were very satisfying!

starbucks app----they have the scanner that works in conjunction with your starbucks app (def helpful)

long lines?---only in the am (930 am mainly)

Always kind and helpful, only once was I given attitude and I think she was just a hater, lol. She was so mad I was asking of they had samples, refused to answer me but gave it to me anyways without telling me after I made a large purchase. Broad probably thought I wasn't going to buy anything 0_0
