I love Manuel's. My family has been coming here forever, specifically my dad who started coming in…read morethe 60s to the original Indian School location. My family comes when Kelli is working; she gives great service, and we've been coming and sitting in her section for years now. She basically knows our order, and if I want to try something different, she offers suggestions. I do have to say this is a local chain because some people don't know this. My cousin didn't realize this. He asked why were coming to a chain restaurant, and I said it was a local Phoenix chain that has done well and has several locations. My family always orders a cheese crisp. It's great, and I love their salsa. I go between the #4 and getting the flauta. Sometimes, when it's cold, I'll get the tortilla soup. I have also met people from Milwaukee who talk about Manuel's and going there when they visit Arizona, so it's known beyond AZ!

So sad how the server treated us. Went for weekday lunch. Older lady in main dining room finally…read morearrives at table but isn't friendly. Doesn't say hi, or even a smile. Ok- whatevs. But it's how she acted when we modified a food item that left us scratching our heads. There was a special with a cheese enchilada, a beef taco, rice & beans. Friend avoids meat and some other foods, so the request was to leave out everything on the taco except tomatoes. Just a shell and a few tomatoes/same small amount that is already included on a taco. (The rest if the plate has no ommissions requested.) Server was so rude, shaking her head and mumbling about no substitutions. It wasn't a substitution - it was just removing the meat, lettuce, etc. She fought us as I reminded her that we aren't swapping ingredients, but rather just removing a few. She barked back that it's still a substitution, and finished typing in the order in her ipad, and walked off in a huff. Meal arrived as ordered. But the attitude and hassle ruined the experience. This server needs some serious training.

Goodwood Tavern is hands down one of the best spots in Scottsdale. The atmosphere is welcoming and…read morelaid-back, with an awesome vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The bartenders are friendly, attentive, and know how to make you feel right at home. The food is absolutely amazing--everything we've tried has been delicious--and the prices are surprisingly reasonable, especially for the quality. The location is perfect, making it an easy place to meet up with friends or spend an evening out. I honestly don't have a single bad thing to say. Great people, great food, great drinks, great prices, and a great atmosphere. If you're in Scottsdale, Goodwood Tavern is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back again and again

Very clean and organized which is nice to see. The burrito was a beast. Very large and if I'm being honest it was seriously more generous than the other guys. I could actually see the meat inside throughout the burrito not just a tiny portion at the bottom like those other guys. Although I was tempted to try the nachos, my stomach isn't as big as it used to be these days. Overall it was a great experience. My only complaint is I wish they added more seasoning to the rice and beans. It was a light bland. The guac was pretty decent. Next time I'm in the area I think I might try those nachos.

I was driving on Scottsdale Road and saw the balloons in front of a new Qdoba location. I gave them…read morea call and the friendly female staff member let me know that it's their second day open for business at this location! I turned around and headed back to check them out. There is a large shared parking lot behind the building for several businesses, mostly salons. There are plenty of covered and uncovered parking spots. I easily found an uncovered spot in the shade, which is important in Arizona! There are several choices, from bowls, burritos, salads, and nachos. I got a bowl with cilantro lime rice, shrimp, black beans, cheese, lettuce, cilantro, guacamole, and queso. They do not charge extra for your first helping of guacamole and queso. The position size was large and filling. Everything was fresh and delicious! The male staff member who put together my bowl was very friendly and helpful. The manager was fantastic and gave me a free cookie on my way out because I told him I had signed up for the app and filled out the survey as I sat in the restaurant. It was a great experience, and I will definitely return to this Qdoba location!

A dive bar? Indeed. But let's find a word that can....maybe....kick it up a notch and a half,…read moreperhaps?? I'm not exactly sure what that would be. Thesaurus shall we? Pub-tavern-saloon-nightclub-taproom-cantina-watering hole-cabaret-bistro-speakeasy-roadhouse-sports bar-brewery-joint-barrelhouse-hole the wall. None of these quite get it. Dive bar it is, though I like "Watering Hole" myself. So I'm at this local watering hole 'Bridgette's', and the bartender (not named Bridgette), though I can't remember her name because the echoing sounds of a familiar song from Halsey coming from the Plus sized lungs of the third-runner-up-Miss-Missouri was bouncing it's location repeatedly off each wall's piece of artwork and retired license plate frames like it was lost and looking for directions... asked me for a drink order and if I wanted a menu.. I defaulted to my shot, beer and a cheeseburger to which she immediately asked me specifics. Medium, cheddar, on the side and ranch please! This chick was on it ;) I quietly sang along to Halsey because naturally at my age I know the words but wouldn't be caught dead singing it... I would only karaoke Notorious lol. The other bartender female was laughing a little with the few ppl next to me. I notice they have pull tabs machine. Who has that!? Love it. The menu is extensive, not to be confused with expensive. Two Dart machines in the back (yes!) I never understood why THAT wasn't an Olympic sport?! (Yes I do, but I'm good at it, so that's all I got). Food came out quick, shot number two is about to be ordered while I tried to figure out who the heck (and where) the dude was hiding that was singing the next song.. because I'd hide too! I love people watching. FYI: burger was amazing for only 12$. Couldn't finish it (that's indicative of me, it's not ginormous, but good size) and since then I've been back several weekends. Note: their specials are only online, they have good ones but they don't tell you about them so check them out. They have trivia too. This is a nice little diamond in the rough for the area. Casual, you could say "Dive" if you're on the East side, you could say "Nice" if you're on the West side... not a meat-market for girls, people just don't behave that way so far.. but not a sausage fest either. Just seems people want to have a nice time... I'll reiterate so far ;) And super busy on weekends!! Oh! Not snobby at last call. That's important. They don't break rules.. but not snobs like some places. I 'effing hate that. Take my drink at :45 before the hour? And fuck you. LOL. THANKS BRIDGETTE-people! Oh again! The bartender Nikki, if still there was a hoot. Hope to see her again. All of them are awesome. I'll have to update with real pics.

My group came here maybe a month or so ago and it was a great time with a super cool host- Sarah or something like that- and she kept the vibe awesome and was just a cool chick (and that has nothing to do with me thinking she was kinda cute, too, I swear! LOL) Sadly, we came back and the vibe was just NOT the same without her- the staff there said they thought it was she had been out for personal reasons, but thought she'd be back, so that's cool, if true (her coming back NOT her having a rough go or whatever!). Anyway, we were just bummed that the experience wasn't consistent with the fun we had last time with the other host... We'll check back, no big. As for the bar itself? Well, it's a local dive bar that's been around forever and pretty much wears it on it's sleeve! While it could use a serious remodel to update a bit and lose some of the ick, would that ruin the ambiance of "dive bar"? Oh well, we're all still coming back, even after our first trip here many years ago thinking it was a girlie gay biker bar between the name and the location! Hahahaha!!!

Recently, I was…read moreturned down a table for 7 at the Backyard in Desert Ridge because I did not have a reservation for a night when USA soccer game night. Unbelievable the Backyard refuse to make space for a big walkin customers. Anyway, thank God for Draft Kings. Even though most tables are reserved, they took us to the lounge area and we had a fabulous great time. They were super nice, professional and accomodating. I have gone to Draft Kings many times since it opened and they are awesome. They are wise to NOT turn down business. Draft Kings is a great sports bar. I've gone there many times at all kind of hours without a problem getting seated anywhere inside outside. They will find you a seat to watch games. Draft Kings is the best. Great staff, too. Thank you Draft Kings.

Absolutely dreadful experience from start to finish…read more We came specifically to watch the England vs Panama World Cup match, yet somehow not a single member of staff seemed to understand that football supporters actually want to hear the commentary. We politely asked if the sound could be turned on, only to be met with blank stares and a shrug. The hostess simply replied, "I don't know about that," without making the slightest effort to find out. For a venue that markets itself as a sports bar, that is utterly embarrassing. The welcome was just as poor. There was no hostess at the entrance, so we asked the hostess in the betting area, who rather dismissively told us, "I can't help you. The hostess will deal with you." Charming. When the hostess eventually appeared, there wasn't even a "hello" or "welcome." She simply walked off expecting us to follow her. Once seated, things somehow became even worse. Despite there being plenty of staff standing around, it took an age before anyone acknowledged our table. After taking our initial drinks order, our waitress vanished for extended periods. We repeatedly wanted to order food and additional drinks but simply couldn't find her. We even asked staff behind the bar and other employees if someone could help us, only to be met with complete indifference. Nobody appeared remotely interested in providing service. The televisions themselves were another disappointment, with several screens glitching and making the match difficult to watch. Again, nobody seemed particularly bothered. As for the food... painfully average. Bland, uninspired and completely forgettable. Certainly nowhere near good enough to justify returning. There are countless places in Scottsdale serving far better food with staff who actually care. The entire operation felt disorganised, poorly managed and completely lacking any sense of hospitality. With service this bad, mediocre food and staff who seem uninterested in customers, it's difficult to see how this place survives in the long term. A sports bar that doesn't understand sport, service or hospitality. One star is generous. We won't be returning, and management should be thoroughly ashamed of the experience they're providing. Don't come here. There are WAY better options in Scottsdale.
