    Outside covered patio with TVs
    Shaina S.

    It's so hard to find a sports bar with a vegetarian option that isn't just mozzarella sticks. The Imposter burger was delicious. The fries were seasoned well. It's nice to be able to sit outside and watch the game without the sun pounding down on you. Service was great! Especially since I bought my senior aged high maintenance parents They also have a rotating tap.

    EXTREMELY RUDE MANAGEMENT. I've been ordering here for well over a year. I've ORDERED 25 MEALS FROM HERE BUT NEVER AGAIN. The food is amazing. I ordered lunch today via GrubHub, and the food was delivered to the wrong address. No problem; I contacted GrubHub, who sent out a "replacement" order (which means the same order). The second order did arrive but was missing the side of "fresh fruit." I called the Restaurant, and the "man" who answered admitted to forgetting the fruit. He said, "oh that was me, I'm sorry," when I told him that this has happened there more than once he immediately got defensive and started to raise his voice saying. They DO NOT habitually forget items and started to get defensive. I actually asked him if was calling me a liar as he kept raising his voice, louder and louder and more out of control 5-2-25, They forgot the fruit 4-26-25, They forgot the Small Reg. tots That's 2 items in just a week. But you guys never do this right? This same "man" actually called me at home to continue arguing with me to tell me, NOW, he actually didn't forget the fruit, that it was my fault because I didn't order any. EXCEPT THIS WAS A REPLACEMENT ORDER, which is the exact same order!! HOW DARE YOU CALL ME AT HOME AND SCREAM AT ME LIKE AN UNCONTROLLED NEANDERTHAL? I ASKED YOU NUMEROUS TIMES TO LOWER YOUR VOICE AND YOU KEPT YELLING.. YOU SHOULD BE FIRED! This is NO WAY to speak to a customer. YOU LOST A CUSTOMER TODAY Food: 5/5 | Service: 1/5 | Atmosphere: 1/5

    Super friendly service. Decent food with great fries. The burger was actually good with bleu cheese crumbles. Just a divey type spot...but still convenient with no flare.

    If you're looking for a sports bar with TVs, great food, great drinks, and a chill atmosphere, this is the place. We sat on the patio which was really cozy and inviting. It's definitely a hidden gem so I'm hesitant to share with people lol but they def deserve a shout out!

    We had come here after hiking to get lunch with the dogs in tow. The moment we walked up, a man came up and said the patio was full but we could sit on the couches. We settled are group and waited awhile for someone to come over. The bar was pretty full outside and it seemed only a bartender and one runner were working so everything was pretty delayed. The staff seemed pretty over it which I am assuming is due to being busy but it didn't really make our group feel welcomed. We almost left before ordering but decided to stay since we were so hungry. The food was average and met the need but nothing we would come back for. We did order the artichoke dip which was really good though. Came with chips and pita bread which was nice to be able to switch up!

    It was very, very slow for a Thursday during happy hour. Most of the patrons at the bar worked there. The bartender had a little bit of an attitude and was way more interested in her friend at the bar with gabby gal gossip, which seemed alarming to me since the place was so slow. Chips and queso were super basic, but the yummy shot options were cheap and good!

    Was looking for a spot to grab dinner with family after a Spring Training game at Salt River…read moreFields. My cousin had been here before and mentioned the food and drinks were solid, so we had to check it out! The space is a cool mix of industrial-chic with a massive wine wall, a great patio, and a stage for live music. They also have a ton of TVs inside and outside if you come to watch a game. We were seated after a short wait, and took a few minutes decide on our choices-even though the #YEShusband and I had already been checking out the menu on our way over. Our waitress, Reese, was super friendly and her recommendations reinforced our ordering decisions. She even gave us a few suggestions we will have to try on our next visit! Here's a recap of what we ordered: - ROSÉ 75 (Hangar 1 Rosé Vodka, Kronan Swedish Punsch, strawberry & lime juices, Lunetta prosecco): Incredibly refreshing with a nice little buzz. Perfect for a sunny afternoon. - SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP (house made spinach & artichoke dip topped with parmesan & mozzarella cheese. Served with chips & garlic toast): This was so yummy; and was good to share between four people! The top of the dip was perfectly golden, and I liked that it didn't taste as heavy as some other cheesy dips. - HOUSE MADE SOUTHWEST EGG ROLLS (chipotle chicken, black beans, pico de gallo, cheddar jack cheese, chipotle ranch): Another hit! The filling was flavorful, and the egg roll wrapping itself was perfectly cooked. I appreciated that these were house made and didn't feel like something that was previously frozen. - HONEY HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH (buttermilk fried chicken breast, honey hot sauce, pickles, pepperjack, coleslaw, served on sesame seed bun with fries): I've tried a ton of chicken sandwiches thanks to my husband, and this one really stood out! We added bacon (pro move!), which elevated an already delicious sandwich. I particularly enjoyed the hot honey sauce which was on the buttery side, and didn't overwhelm the rest of the flavors. The fries were also crispy and had a good flavor. - STEAK BITES (beef tenderloin tips with balsamic reduction & micro greens served over flat fries): My cousin ordered this, and seemed to generally enjoy the steak, but wasn't feeling the flat fries. She said it was good, but she likely wouldn't order again. Overall everything was really solid, service was good, and the atmosphere was chill. Highly recommend this as a post-game stop or for an outing with friends or family. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Come on over to the Bleu Cheese side and watch your finances grow, you'll find the woman of your dreams (or man), you'll drive a car instead of taking a Segway to work; possibilities are endless. I digress... Tavern Grille is one of my favorite Scottsdale staples. It's worth anyone's time to drop in and enjoy the experience.

They're the equivalent of draining a 60-foot putt on 18 after shooting a 102. The round was a disaster...but that one putt is enough to convince you to come back. That's the Zipparita. We usually go to the Camelback location and have great experiences, but today we went back to the Via de Ventura location with a group of nine. Several of us ordered our fries extra crispy. I understand it's subjective, I would have been perfectly happy with the "normal" Zipps fries that everyone else at the table received (and anyone who's been to Zipps knows they're usually on the softer side anyway). Instead, my basket came out looking like the fries had barely met the fryer, limp, and bordering on raw. They weren't close to "extra crispy," they were about as far from extra crispy as you can get. Our server, K, offered to have another basket made, which I appreciated. A few minutes later, another basket arrived with the explanation, "They only look uncooked because we just changed the oil." Sadly, they were hot, but somehow even more uncooked. At that point, I asked to speak with a manager. She offered to make a third basket, but by then I was halfway through my meal and didn't need them to try a third time to cook a basket of fried. She simply said, "Okay," and walked away. No apology, no acknowledgment that they had served raw fries twice, nothing. When the check arrived, there wasn't any adjustment, discount, or even a simple "Sorry about that." I mentioned to K that I wasn't surprised nothing had been done, and she replied, "We can't take a whole focaccia off the bill because of bad fries." I wasn't asking for a free meal, I said take $2 off, or buy me a $5 Zipparita. Better yet, just apologize. Any of those would have sufficed. K did go ask the manager one last time, but returned saying, "Sorry, my manager said no." I still tipped 20%. My wife thought I was crazy, especially considering the attitude we received, but this wasn't about getting something free, it was about basic customer service. Mistakes happen. Raw fries happen. What shouldn't happen is acting like it isn't worth a simple apology. The disappointing part isn't that the fries were bad. It's that two opportunities to make things right came and went, and nobody cared, but everyone had a bad attitude. The good news? The Zipparitas are still undefeated. They'll for sure drag me back. I'll just be sticking to the Camelback location, where the servers are consistently friendly, the managers actually seem to care, and somehow they manage to cook fries all the way through.

While it's not in the heart of Old Town, it's within walking distance. We stopped by on a Thursday around 9:30 p.m. While we were on foot, I noticed that they have a parking lot. Ambiance (4/5): Relatively small for a brewery, but your typical chill, brewery vibes. They have some seats at the bar, some high tops, and a small patio. We sat out on the patio since the weather was nice. The seats out there are a bit uncomfortable, but we couldn't pass up on patio weather. They have free water in the corner which is always a plus so you don't have to wait in line. Service (5/5): The bartender working was super nice. It's always appreciated when servers go above and beyond in providing a great experience. He was friendly, efficient, and attentive. I couldn't have asked for more in my service experience at Goldwater. He exceeded my expectations. Food (N/A): I already ate previously so no food for me. There was a Mexican food truck in the parking lot. Drinks (4/5): I love trying local brews. At breweries, I typically get a flight so I can try out a variety of beers. This time though, I went with a pint. I couldn't say no to the Sour Rangers. I grew up watching the Power Rangers, so that was all the motivation I needed. An added bonus was that this beer is a sour. Not something you have every day, nor a style of beer that you come across very often. So I had to take advantage of the opportunity. And it was a good one. Goldwater is my type of place. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

This means that we should receive 2 bottles for $25.01 based on the special listed on your menu. When we received the check, we were charged $50.01 for the 2 bottles. We pointed out the mistake to the bar tender who said the price was correct. We informed her that we have come here approximately once/month for the last year and the cost has never been $50 for a bottle of Wycliff. She asked another employee to come over and we explained the same issue to her. She (we did not get her name) said she has been a Manager there for several years and that has always been the price. I told her we have ordered this special over the last year and we would never pay $50 for a bottle of Wycliff. She refused to adjust our check. I asked her to show me on a menu where a bottle of Wycliff costs $50. Of course, she was not able to do that because it doesn't exist. We generally are very generous with our tip, as we consider this a good deal and the staff is usually great. - I have attached a copy of the receipt. We would like to continue to frequent Mother Tuckers, as we have always had a good time and like to bring friends visiting from out of town. I am hopeful this was an oversight by your employees and a refund will be put back on my credit card for the overcharge.
