Just went in for a cold one but seems like a fun place. Maybe later for a nightlife stop next time. I was too early I think

Fish and Chips
Matt G.

A friend of mine was in town for business and was staying at the Gila River Resorts & Casinos - Wild Horse Pass. I've been wanting to check out Dirty Blonde Tavern for a while, and since it was nearby, this was the perfect opportunity. We walked in and seated ourselves. Shortly after, we were given menus and asked if we'd like something to drink. We both ordered Arnold Palmers. I was torn between the Reuben sandwich and the Fish and Chips, so my friend and I decided to order one of each and share. Our server, who was efficient and friendly, brought us our drinks. As we both sipped our Arnold Palmers, we simultaneously wrinkled our noses at the taste - it was as if the lemons and tea had declared war on each other. It wasn't a deal breaker, but not one of the better Arnold Palmers I've had. Oh well! When our food arrived, we split our meals. I quickly realized that ordering the Fish and Chips was a mistake. It didn't look bad, but it appeared to be something similar to three pieces of Gorton's frozen fish. The beer batter acted more like a protective force field than something meant to add flavorful texture. I half expected the fish to scream, "You shall not pass!" However, the Reuben looked delicious! We both agreed that, while the fish wasn't inedible, it certainly wasn't what we'd consider to be good. I didn't even finish all the fish. On the other hand, the Reuben was great, and the fries were also very good! The coleslaw that came with the Fish and Chips was disappointing - it was watery/soggy and overly sweet. It was also lacking the creaminess that I expected. It was like the coleslaw had taken a long swim and forgotten its towel. Despite the Fish and Chips failing to impress, I'd come back again. The service was fast and friendly, and the Reuben and fries were excellent. Next time, I'll probably try one of their burgers.

Excellent bar and grill, the sign is hidden by the trees in front. Their food is on point, tried a bunch of items. The menu is huge! The standouts were definitely the Reuben, Philly and banana egg roll dessert! The nachos are the biggest things like ever.

Cookies and Cream Martini

Nicole is great at making drinks of any kind. She made a great Cookies and Cream Martini!!!!! Her personality is everything at Dirty Blondes and brings in the crowd. The day drinkers need to visit Dirty Blondes and ask for Nicole!!!!!!!!

Happy hour never disappoints!…read more Met up with a colleague who was in town for happy hour, and Hop Social was the perfect spot. I've been here plenty of times for happy hour, but it had been at least a year since my last visit. We were able to grab a spot at the bar immediately, which was a nice bonus. Great drinks, solid happy hour options, and our bartender was amazing--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. Always a fun atmosphere and clearly still a great happy hour spot. I definitely won't wait another year to come back!

Luckily the happy hour prices saved the day. We were stoked for this place since it had good deals & American bar food, I am easy to please with food & hate fancy stuff. Figured this would crush it... but sadly, it did not. Appetizer: chicken strips & fries. Highlight of the meal aside from the tiny serving size (& fries kinda cold). Love they bring BBQ & ranch... was feeling optimistic. Meal: Caesar salad: generic AF, really basic, honestly bagged salad about the same. Steak bites: yikes, big fail here. Three baseball cut steaks that were bleeding, I dunno how you undercook a steak that small. Then no knife with it? lol how are we suppose to eat it, like a caveman? Just a bad cut Burger: a frozen patty with a generic bun & toppings. How can you not get good beef, form a patty then cook? 2/10 at best Sliders: a little better but small & bland as well. One was raw, one was tougher than a hockey puck. Chipotle ranch made it better Drinks & service good but the food was just not there. Unless they revamp the menu, get better ingredients, I am just not sure they're gonna make it sadly

I love a burrata salad, and would get it at many Italian restaurants. I was excited to try it at Sicilian Butcher, however when I got the dish I was sad and disappointed. The dish is $18. And from the description in the menu, it says Burrata & heirloom tomato. I was expecting to get the usual Burrata cheese pouch on top of a salad or at least a good amount of cheese that I can cut into it. But this dish barely has any burrata, 10% burrata and 90% tomato. The burrata was sooo little. So I basically paid $18 to eat a plate of tomatoes, which is very overpriced. My friend loves pizza so we got the sausage pizza $23. This pizza style is the really thick bread. Although the bread is good but it is too thick that when you eat each bite, the bread overtake the toppings. I can barely taste the sausage or veggies because it was so much bread, and the bread is kind of soggy. Again, over price for the pizza for 1 person portion. Lastly is the calamari, this dish was great. Good thin batter on the outside, with the calamari with a good balance of chewiness on the inside. $20. For 3 small dishes, $60, plus tax and tip $75. Very overprice for an ok level food. Sadly I probably won't be back due to this reason.

I went with an Orange Blossom beer and the Bourbon Trail burger. The burger was good, without overpowering flavors. The burger is really a delivery for the toppings here, which included grilled onions, fried onions and a bourbon aioli. It was good but I'll probably try something else next time because they have so many burgers to choose from. I think they normally have sweet potato tots but had fries at this time and they were also good. Generous portion of fries next to the mountain of a burger. We also tried the cheese curds which were good. They had a little spice to them but I think you can get them without spice. The place was packed for a bit but it's a small hole-in-the-wall kinda place. I'd definitely go back again.

The beef quality sub par: Lack of flavor and weird mealy grind that has some inedible chunks in it. It seems like bargain food service ground beef. I know ingredients cost is out of control especially for beef, but for $17+ a burger I expect to be able to define the cook I want with some type of local beef, a good blend like chuck + brisket, or wagyu. You can head over to Four Peaks, AZ Wilderness, Ghost Ranch, Bad Jimmy's and many other spots nearby and get a far superior burger in the same price range. In fact, I think almost any sports bar nearby probably makes a better burger. If they sorted out their burger game this place would be a 4.5. Brew's, you can do better.

Lol Protein is always on the menu for us! We shared the Lobster Spinach Queso, and the Aged Ribeye cooked to a medium rare. We like our steaks medium ish, and while the ribeye came to us cooked perfectly, it was tough. It was even hard to cut, even though it tasted okay. The fries definitely seemed like they had been warmed under a lamp for a while. Probably the best part of the meal was the queso, along with the Double Black Diamond Martinis we had for "Martini Monday." I believe rhe martinis were $7 each which is a great deal these days! It was yummy!! The restaurant was not busy at all on a Monday night. There is a bar on the right side when you enter. There is a huge dining room which would be perfect for a large party. We sat at a quiet booth for tbe evening and our server was great. He even brought us complimentary bread and butter. Overall, the food was okay. I would love to return and try the ribeye again. We really liked the drinks, and will probably return at some point. I will for sure come back for Happy Hour! I'd love to bump up this review to 5 stars, but we shall see...

I had the baby back ribs 3-course deal for $40 and honestly couldn't believe the value. A full rack of ribs with a side and fruit cup, plus a salad AND dessert for $40 is insane. Such an exceptional deal for the amount of food you get. The hot honey chicken sandwich was also delicious, and everyone at the table enjoyed their meals. Service was solid even with how busy they were. Food was kind of slow but like I said, definitely busy. The atmosphere is probably the least memorable part. The tables are pretty close together and the dining area feels a little cookie-cutter rather than unique, although the colorful bar definitely adds some personality to the space. Overall, really good food, great value, and a place I would definitely come back to!

Cooper's Hawk produces an impressive variety of its own wines, and being able to sample different selections while waiting for your table is a really enjoyable touch. The lobby also has a retail area with beautiful glassware, wine accessories, and unique home décor and knickknacks that are fun to browse. We enjoyed a flight of four red wines before dinner, along with the crab, shrimp, and lobster bisque and their signature pretzel bread. For our entrées, we ordered the surf and turf featuring pistachio-crusted grouper and a bourbon lacquered pork chop, along with the shrimp and scallop risotto. The dishes were beautifully presented, with a nice variety of ingredients and flavors. What I particularly appreciate about Cooper's Hawk is that the experience extends beyond just sitting down for dinner. Between the extensive wine selection, lobby tastings, shopping area, and polished dining atmosphere, they've created a place where the entire evening feels like an experience. Our server was very nice and explained the menu to us. Definitely worth visiting, especially if you enjoy exploring different wines and appreciate a restaurant with a little something extra to offer.
