I got: Brie bites Sea bass entree Pumpkin crème brulee dessert My wife got: Crab cake Short rib entree Pumpkin crème brûlée dessert Rich was our server and he was very prompt and attentive. We didn't have to wait long for food, drinks or our check/to go boxes. We got the non alcoholic drink with prickly pear and pineapple- fantastic mocktail recipe! It reminded me of a perfect refreshing drink for end of summer, beginning of fall. Smooth and subtle pineapple. I have to be honest the sea bass was probably the best sea bass I have tried. 100/10 so flavorful and adding a squeeze of lemon was a hit! I would definitely some back here. Even the bread sticks they serve with the table waters are yummy garlicky and soft and warm. I expected a lot more "patriotic style" American restaurant decor but it is tasteful and tasty!

I ordered the GF Marinated Chicken Sandwich with sweet potato fries and an extra side of their pesto mayo... aka heaven on a plate! The sandwich comes with balsamic-marinated grilled chicken, roasted red pepper, fresh mozzarella, **toasted GF Udi's bun, and pesto mayo. The toasted bun was a great touch, or else it would have likely fallen apart! Every bite was absolute perfection! Our server was fantastic and so attentive to my gluten-free needs. She made sure everything was GF, and I believe she even mentioned that they have a dedicated fryer, which was such a comforting bonus! The only hard part about dining here was the complimentary bread that arrives at your table when you sit down. It looked and smelled absolutely delightful... but sadly, it wasn't gluten-free. Thankfully, my meal made up for it in leaps and bounds! We are DEFINITELY adding Red White & Brew to our rotation! Whether you're stopping in for lunch, happy hour, or dinner, I don't think you can go wrong. Great food, great service, and a very happy GF girl!

If you order a drink, you are given a cup to fill up on your own, which I liked. I went with an Arnold Palmer with Iced Green Tea so I could make it exactly like I like it! There is limited seating but we found a booth no problem during a busy weekday lunch hour. My lunch date / business colleague enjoyed his Chicken Avocado Quinoa bowl and I enjoyed my Greek Salad with Salmon. Portions are pretty large and neither of us finished! Prices are reasonable. I believe they do a solid takeout and catering business and would definitely return for breakfast or lunch or to takeout / cater. Thanks CG!

Saddle Bronc has a fantastic menu with so many delicious items to choose from, along with an impressive selection of beers on tap. You can really taste the quality and the family recipes behind each dish. I had the broasted chicken, and it came out piping hot, perfectly crispy, and incredibly juicy. I also can't say enough about the ranch beans and homemade coleslaw--they were absolutely delicious! My friends ordered the daily prime rib special and the chicken sandwich, and they loved their meals too. Overall, Saddle Bronc is everything you hope for in a small-town, family-owned restaurant. If you're looking for great comfort food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere, this place is a must-visit!

Staff is helpful and food options are plenty and delish. They are usually worth the cost. Be prepared to pay more than you might expect. Happy hours may exist here, just have not found that to be common or much of a deal. If money doesn't matter, the bar is a cool and comforting place to meet locals and visitors. You may just need to move to another seat to find people that like words like I do. That is true of most places though. Good place to stare at your phone instead of doing it at home. Just costs a lot more than the latter. Which J do instead of going here. Honest here, have no problems. But if you want an enjoyable experience there are other options in Fountain Hills worth a try.

Beginners Luck is just that kind of place. Food 4.5/5 - I ordered the Crab and Shrimp Roll with fries. It was excellent and quite a portion. More than enough for a second meal. Loaded with shrimp and crab. I wasn't expecting a crab and shrimp salad but rather a mix of the two warm and buttered in the roll but it was very tasty as served. The only part that was a little off was the burned in brand on the roll the cold salad was served in. The charred flavor with the salad was a little off putting. I just pinched off the burnt bits from the bread. Excellent fries! Service 4/5 - I sat at the bar. Bartender was nice, offered regular menu and restaurant week menu as well. Meal was brought by manager, fries were still piping hot. Bartender and manager checked back to make sure meal was to my liking. Ambiance 5/5 - Cute place. A lot of nice outdoor seating and seating inside but a bit less. All in all a great place with a nice complement of offerings! I will return. If only they had a fly through with rotisserie chicken to go, I would never think of Bandera again.

We were seated inside quickly - it was a slow afternoon. Signs on the door let you know they have A/C however they left the front door propped open so it wasn't that cool inside. We each had a cocktail and they were pretty good - him a Painkiller on Main (he said it was good) and I had Ranch Water Paloma but asked them to mix tequila and mezcal rather than have me choose one over the other. Quite tasty! We just did apps: Fondue Blanc served with linguisa, pretzel bread and roasted cauliflower. The fondue was especially delicious with the cauliflower. We also had pimento cheese served with potato chips and chicharrones. I've only ever tasted grocery store made pimento cheese and was not a fan but when I tasted the pimento cheese at Beginner's Luck, I instantly became enamored. Totally enjoyed it with the chips. I recommend stopping in for a bite when wandering Old Town.

My husband ordered the Great Greek Gyro (lamb) with feta fries. The food was unbelievable - especially the feta fries. I could not stop eating them. The restaurant was bright and clean.

My frustration comes from the service here, while they are outwardly nice, they are also overly pushy to drive your meal's price up. For me, it's the small things that really shine brightest, for example, when you ask for a drink to automatically give you a large without asking. Due to this locations stocking issue we had to pay for small drinks because they were "out of water cups". I fail to understand why it is on us for this location's stocking issue (which I can say is prevalent with a lot of Cava's I've been to, but that's another thing).
