I'd definitely come back for another burger. They've got a solid variety, and I've already been told the Habanero Cleanse burger is the next one to try.

Unfortunately, we sat out on the patio where there were kids running around and throwing things.. At one point a server who was carrying a tray of drinks was almost taken out by these kids.

Getting drinks was sometimes frustrating since there's a long bar and no actual "up system", just a matter of who makes eye contact with a bartender first.

They had lots of fun looking drinks but I just stuck with a vodka/cran. It was strong but not overwhelming like some dive bars. I loved all the funny signs around the bar and the bartender, Joy was very friendly. I want to check out another night when there are more people. Just as a side note, the parking lot was a bit sketchy -- I arrived around 730pm on a Monday so it wasn't very late -- There is a weird split in the parking lot one side is the Aldi side (which seemed more populated with people going in and out of the store) and the other side is a bunch of shops that were closed . There were some interesting people chilling out in their cars and yelling to each other when I came out - I was by myself and felt a little sketched by it, but I was fine.

This place is absolutely horrible!…read more We went here late last year and the service was terrible and there were barely people there but we wanted to try their fish fry and chicken wings. Didn't get our drinks for 20 mins and the fish fry was seasonless and not worth it. We left and just thought, we will never come back. Well, we decided to give it another shot today and walked in on a Friday at 5pm. No one greeted us for 10 mins, not a nod or a smile or anything. We decided give it another 10 minutes and there were literally services walking by us but no one looked our way at all so we got up and left. Won't give it another shot! It was also dark and dingy inside and smells funny. Table was also super dirty that my white hoodie had a dark grey line where my elbow was on the table.

Upon arrival I/we were a bit hesitant because the facade is a little rough. But upon entry we're greeted by the friendliest bartender I've/we've encountered in quite some time. Alex is not only efficient, fast and friendly she had wonderful menu suggestions and explained many items that stand out. We ordered the small queso with chips and salsa. Quite good. Potato skins were pretty average. My husband ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich with onion rings. Both were great. I ordered the Reuben with fries. EXCELLENT! The bar is quite comfortable. There are many booths, tv's and tables as well. There is also an additional room with tables and OTB and pool tables. The place is much larger than expected. When we arrived there were only a few people in the bar/restaurant (11:30 am) but as we sat they filled up quickly. This is the kind of place that "regulars" haunt and for good reason... It is a hidden gem. This isn't fine dining or a place to be seen. This is a place that is comfy, friendly and serves wonderful food. So put on your jeans and rush over and order a few cocktails and a Reuben! We will DEFINITELY return!

We were excited to see the variety of different food items on menu & all decided what we wanted to eat. Our young waitress NEVER mentioned when she took our drink order & brought us our menus that they were out of A LOT of stuff & proceeded to tell us the reason was because of a legal situation the business was dealing with. Why share that information with us?! Then I was upset when she came back to take our order & I had decided on an appetizer for my lunch (plan B) only to learn they were out of that as well. The atmosphere is fun & clean. The food is good (chicken skewers) & the specialty margaritas you can add different flavors. They have a great happy hour!

To start, we weren't greeted for 15 minutes. My sister ordered a glass of wine that arrived with lipstick all over the glass. Our food also took forever, came out incorrect and was missing items. When my sister ordered another glass of wine, you would think they would double check the cleanliness after the first issue, but unfortunately the second glass was even worse. To top it off, I'm glad my 7-year-old son had headphones because there was a lot of explicit music coming from the kitchen. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would recommend giving them time to recover before choosing this place.

Jessica, my waitress was really awesome and very friendly and helped me pick out some really great things on the menu. I had the Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries. The German pretzel bites with beer, cheese and the churros with ice cream and a few beers and I have to say the prices are excellent and the food is incredibly good and I don't say that lightning most dive bars are just good for the ambience and a few cheap drinks. This place is great all around. Also, their patio area is dog friendly, so I was able to bring my little furry friend with me and he hung out and laid down near the table. Another bonus.

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.

After attending an event in the area, we stopped by Cactus Tavern for a late night bite to eat and…read morea drink on a Saturday night. Located on Cave Creek Road, I had passed by this bar several times and was excited to finally try it out. While I parked across the street at the venue where I was for my event prior, I did notice that they had a decent amount of free parking available. Ambiance (4/5): Cactus Tavern is a dive bar with some Arizona flair. Given the name of the bar, I expected some cactus decor. It did not disappoint...including square lights with cactus cut-outs above each table. There are several high top tables as well as seating at the bar. It's not a huge bar, probably fits 50 people or so, and it was about 90% at capacity when I was there. They also have one pool table. Seems like the type of place where regulars come, which is always a plus in my book. Service (4.5/5): Our waitress did a great job taking care of us despite being quite busy. She was friendly, efficient, and made some recommendations when I asked for some. Pro tip: they give you a cash discount, so if you'd like to save a little bit, make sure you bring cash. Drinks (4/5): With it being a dive bar, the options are going to be on a simpler side. They had eight or so beers on tap, so not a large selection, but I ended up going with a WOW Wheat. A few local beers, plus some usual suspects like Coors Light, Dos Equis, Modelo, etc. While the selection didn't blow my socks off, the prices are reasonable. That counts for a lot. Food (4.5/5): According to Yelp, Cactus Tavern is known for their quesabirria tacos. Since quesabirria is one of my favorite Mexican foods, I couldn't say no. I'm glad I didn't. You get three quesabirria tacos (birria meat, cilantro, cheese, and onions), fresh off the griddle, served with a green salsa and consommé. These were hands down some of the best birria tacos I've ever had. They were served right off the grill, the meat was flavorful, and the oozy cheese was delicious. With a side of elote (on the cob), it made for the perfect meal. This is not your typical bar food, y'all. It's a notch or two above. I was pleasantly surprised. And like the drinks, the food prices are affordable too. Pro tip #2: if you're looking for deals beyond the cash discount, they have daily discounts on various items including a burger and a pint, Philly cheesesteak, etc. depending on the day.
