Interior
Donn O.

Total Friday night gem! We dropped in for a casual dinner and, despite the Scottsdale Friday rush, had a great experience. * The Vibe: Busy and energetic. Parking is tough, but manageable. * The Wait: About 45 minutes for food (they were slammed!), but the service was friendly and our drinks stayed full. * The Food: Incredible. The onion rings are some of the best we've ever had, and the skinny fries are a must-try. Both the chicken sandwich and burger were fresh and flavorful. Yes, it was busy, but the food is worth the wait. We'll be back!

At home and lazy, looking for a quick and simple burger and fries. In a recent Phoenix magazine, an old Scottsdale dive, El Camino was featured. This is a simple bar with inexpensive and good food. We ordered the bacon smash burger, fries, order of rings and ground beef soft tacos. The sweet onion jam, bacon smash burger with lettuce, tomato and pickles was simple, tasty and a great sweet crunch. It needed no sauce and was crunchy at the edges. The shoestring fries and rings were frozen, not homemade. The ground beef taco to no one's surprise was fair and lacked flavor. Overall, the value was good and food was ok, except for the bacon smash burger, nicely done. The service was fair as it is bar. I would return for a quick meal but not a great dining experience as one would expect. If you are in old Scottsdale and looking for a quick , simple and reasonable meal, give El Camino a try.

This bar is in a good location near all the shops. I really enjoyed my spicy margarita! The prices are pretty good too!! The food selection seems hearty and great for a quick bite. The vibes were a little off. The service wasn't particularly friendly or helpful. I wanted another cocktail after my margarita and had questions about the menu, but it was taken from me before I could speak.

Delish single smash burger with excellent crispy fries at a great price!
Cat M.

Loved it! We ate dinner at the bar while watching the Kentucky Derby. Bartenders were friendly & helpful when we asked questions on the menu. I got a single small burger w/the most delish skinny fries - cooked crispy as I asked. My husband got the fried chicken sandwich w/the same fries & devoured it. Our drinks were good & really enjoyed the atmosphere. NOTE - 1 bathroom only - sometimes there is a wait. No waitress service at the tables - you must order at the bar & they will bring it out to you.

Inside

First of all the interior of this place is a whole vibe! Clean, new but old school appearing small town bar vibes, they nailed it. Plenty of TVs and good sound system to watch sports. The smashburger was the best we've found in Scottsdale by FAR. Beats out lots of the popular places. The buns are perfectly soft, burgers smashed and flavorful. We opted to forgo the Lettuce and tomato, and substitute for caramelized onion. House sauce is wonderfully seasoned and tasty. Not to forget, the shoestring fries are cooked to a beautiful golden crisp perfection. Add on a side of ranch for a perfect pairing! Prices are right, we will certainly be returning customers and recommending this place to others!

El Camino Burger - double patty - double awesome- not too heavy but hit the spot without making you feel like napping

Twice for lunch in three days. Hands down good homey vibe and the food is more than reasonably priced for outstanding quality. Service prompt and friendly. To all the people complaining about the temperature of the fries, they are shoestring and tasty but dont stay warm forever - eat them first and stop your complaining you rookies..Thanks for our new local burger joint when we are in town!

Tasty food, great prices with an Old Town hipster vibe. The smash burger was delicious but you might want to add an extra patty or two. Fries were some of the best in Scottsdale - crispy shoestring. If you're not at the bar ordering is walk up and then it's delivered to your table.

Smash burger with shoe string fries.
Joy T.

Small menu but I love that about this bar. Casual, non-bougee, unpretentious laid back vibe, the kind of place I can kick back & invite all my friends to. I loved their hard shell tacos & smash burger w/ fries. Their prices is unheard of for Old Town Scottsdale. I love a place that you don't have to be dressed up since I was here to catch some football. Great service from bartenders, attentive & friendly. I hope this bar sticks around for a very long time.

The hostess was very friendly and led us back to the community table near the bar. Our server/bartender was busy at the bar and taking orders. No smile, a no- nonsense personality which is fine, just not friendly at all. My husband and friend decided to do beer flights. They enjoyed except for one of the beers they said had no flavor. I opted for a Tito's dirty martini which is my favorite drink. They enjoyed the beer flights but unfortunately when my martini was delivered, I swore the glass hadn't been properly washed as it had a sweet, coffee taste. I let our server know and she immediately took it and said she would make another which was great. I did see her grab a new glass. Unfortunately the new martini tasted exactly the same. Almost like a terrible espresso martini with olive juice. It was not drinkable. Either she didn't know how to make a dirty martini or the olive juice or vermouth went bad. I couldn't stomach the drink and felt nauseous so left it. We ordered a Chef's Board. Cheese selections, plus pepperoni, salami, prosciutto, mixed nuts & fruits, olives and fig jam. They missed the nuts, fruit and olives. The meat and cheese were good but it was a basic board. We should have ordered the pizza instead as everyone around us had a pizza and it smelled delicious. Our first visit was not the best experience, however, we may give it another try and check out the pizza instead.

I'm so glad I finally got to check this place out, it was such a vibe!…read more I came around 530 pm on a Tuesday and it was busy. There is a small parking lot that they share with the coffee shop next door, but it was full and I had to park on the street. Indoor/outdoor seating is available, and it was the perfect night for being outside. I loved the string lights and the sunset was awesome. They offer beer, cider and white claw here. The person working let me sample a few beers before I decided on the Birthday Suit beer. It was delicious! There are food trucks/tents throughout the week, and on this day there was a pizza place. I didn't order one but they did smell and look delicious. There was even a small brick oven! Goldwater also puts on Bend and Brew events with Hot Yoga University when the weather is nice. It is a lot of fun! I can't wait to check this place out again.

Goldwater Brewing is a great find!…read more We had family in town who love visiting local breweries so we found Goldwater on Yelp and decided to give it a try! Goldwater has indoor and outdoor seating options. It was a warm day so we sat inside at the hi-top. I didn't see food options available but it is located next to a few restaurants. My husband and friend enjoyed their beer flights and since I don't drink beer, I was happy to see a cooler with wine and other options such as white claw, etc. the beer was poured directly from the fermenter tank. The staff were very friendly and explained they had to open the wine bottle and make the first pour which was fine with me. We look forward to coming back in the near future.

My partner opted for the burrata paired with their noble bread, crispy salmon, & midnight brownie. Our favorites were their burrata & crispy salmon, with our not so favorites being the rest. The chopped salad was mediocre at best, nothing worth coming back for. The short ribs were overcooked, making it extremely dry. The blueberry pudding cake was incredibly dense and dry. The brownie was as hard as a rock, making it difficult to pick up a piece without breaking the plate while at it. Overall, my partner and I were quite disappointed with our meals. The only silver lining was that our server, Nicholas, was phenomenal!

Maybe they're paid, I'm not sure, but based on my experience I would not go back. The biggest issue was the service. We arrived and were told to sit anywhere we wanted. After sitting down, we waited about 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table. No greeting, no water, nothing. Eventually I had to walk up to the bar and ask what the procedure was. Do we order at the bar? Do you have table service? No one could give a clear answer. They just kept saying, "If you want, you can order here." That's not the point. If I sit down at a restaurant, I expect someone to come to the table and explain how things work or take our order. If the system is that you order at the bar, just say that clearly so people know what to do. The drinks were also very mediocre. Nothing special at all. Honestly, they tasted like something you could throw together at home with soda, alcohol, and ice. The surprising part is that the food was actually phenomenal. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing. The dishes were delicious and probably the best part of the entire experience. But great food alone isn't enough to make me return somewhere with poor service and forgettable drinks. My recommendation is don't waste your time on a Sunday brunch. There are plenty of other brunch spots with good food and good service.
