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.

Met up with a few guys here after work on a Friday and the place was packed. Definitely a lively…read morelocal hotspot vibe. 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.

Wanted to try this place for about a month and finally went on a Friday around 8.30pm. There were…read moreonly 4-5 customers so that was a bit telling? Ambiance was pretty dead for a Friday night. Customer service was close to non-existent, just a bunch of bodies going thru the motions. Ordered 2 number 3's (slice, some wings, drink). They messed up one of them and brought the wrong kind of wings. Didn't even bother to offer to "try those" while they correct the mistake, but okay... (I actually even asked, since it was the first time, and he declined and took the basket) The fries came out with a clump of cheese and looked like they had been sitting there for 10 mins. No melted cheese, no oregano - definitely not how it was described. The pizza was absolutely mid. Tried the cheese because that's a staple, but boy was that basic. Costco's cheese slice tastes better but is as greasy and salty. I'd asked for a well done slice and instructions again were not followed, and while this other person did place a different slice in the oven, he also was very indifferent to the situation. Perhaps this shouldn't be your spot if you like good pizza or customer service.

TJ's Pizza and Wings…read more I don't know how long this place has been around, but I live 1/2 mile from TJ's and have lived in my house for 32+ years and seems like it has always been there.. My son and daughter use to walk over there when they were in middle school and high school, now they are 29 and 26 years old and always liked it. So after 32 years my son ask me if I want any pizza from TJ's and I said sure, why not. He wanted to get a slice but I told him, just get a whole pizza. He ordered the All Meats All Meat Pizza which includes sausage, pepperoni, bacon, ham and beef and the pizza was excellent, meat was plentiful and fresh, crust was just right. Just an great tasting pizza Wings we ordered 24, they were on the smaller size and slightly dry, but still not bad. So after living a 1/2 mile from TJ's for 32 years, I truly missed out, but will be back soon

We've been back a second time now, and honestly that matters more to me than a great first visit…read more This still feels like a place trying to do more than the standard strip mall pizza formula without charging like it's trying to be Pizzeria Bianco. That's a good lane to be in. My wife and I have now tried a couple different pizzas here. The regular pepperoni was solid from the start, but on this visit we also tried an inverted-style pepperoni pizza they're apparently still testing and not even listing on the menu yet. It was extremely garlic forward. I loved it, but I can absolutely see it being divisive if you're not a garlic person. For me, though, it worked. Big flavor, crispy pepperoni edges, and something different from the usual pizza lineup. The crust still had that slightly charred wood-fired taste that feels intentional instead of overdone, and the ingredients again tasted fresh instead of like they'd been sitting around all day. We skipped the wings this time, but they honestly still deserve a mention because they were the standout from our first visit. Good crisp, sauce actually stuck to them, and the flavor came through instead of feeling like an afterthought. A lot of pizza places treat wings like filler menu items. These didn't. Owner was there again and clearly involved in what's coming out of the kitchen. In this case, that seems to be a positive. Overall, after two visits, this place feels like it has personality. Not just another interchangeable pizza spot. Solid value, above-average pizza, legitimately great wings, and worth keeping in the rotation.

Tried their wings and of course we came here for their Detroit style pizza (Gus's pan pizza). It takes about 30 minutes to cook for their Detroit style pizza so we ordered their buffalo wings to munch on. You can choose from buffalo, BBQ, honey hot or Windsor gold. Was happy with their buffalo wings, it was saucy and juicy but wish we had gotten more carrots and celery on the side. We ordered their Pineapple Express Detroit style and it was perfect! The crust was airy, fluffy, and the corner edges were crispy. I would have to say that they have the best Detroit style pizza in AZ.

They were running a $1.00 per wing special, and every single person in our party ordered wings... and every single person raved about them. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right--no complaints across the board. One of the coolest touches is that they let customers sign their names all over the walls, which gives the place a fun, laid-back, local vibe. You can tell this is a spot people come back to again and again. If you're looking for polished and fancy, this isn't it. If you're looking for amazing wings, great value, and a true local secret, this is absolutely your place. Highly recommend, and I'm really hoping to squeeze in one more visit before we leave.

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.
