    Duroc pork chop on top of sweet potato mash.....PERFECT!
    Mike R.

    Right to the point! Food....10 Service......10+ Ambiance....10 I live in Goodyear Az. This is a bit of a drive for us and well worth it. This is our go to place for any celebration. We have been coming here for years, never disappoints! Appetizers...Stuffed Jalapeños, I'm 62, avoid spicy food, first time ever having these, loved them! just the right heat, flavors wake up your taste buds. Add the green chili pork stew, and you have hit a home run. First time having these Duroc pork chop.....how can a pork chop be this good? This isn't your grocery store pork chop. This is the elite pork chop, with apple chutney and sits on sweet potato mash, amazing! The atmosphere is so nice, dark with soft lighting , relaxing no hurry. Service is what you would hope it to be! You will pay more here, just like any high end steakhouse, and you won't mind!

    Cooked to Medium temperature
    Christa R.

    Met another couple for dinner and I made a reservation using the restaurant's reservation site Open Table. I received an email to confirm my reservation and we were good to go! We were running a little late so I had our friends check-in at the hostess stand and they gave my name for our reservation which was confirmed and they were sat at a table. We then arrive a short while later and I approached the hostess and stated that we had a reservation and our friends already arrived, checked-in for our reservation and were seated. The hostess asks what name the reservation was under and I tell her my complete name and she said she doesn't have it. I explained that I have a confirmation email and she waves her tablet at me about 4 feet away so I can't see the details and says "See! I don't have it." I replied, my friends are already here under the reservation so can I just go find them? She replied yes. I don't understand the interaction when my friends clearly checked in already using my name for the reservation. It was a discussion that wasn't necessary and did not give our first visit to the Roaring Fork a good impression. Once we found our friends after searching through the entire restaurant, we found them and sat down. We were immediately approached my our server who was very attentative and gave great service. We were told about a 3-course menu with multiple selections and I decided to get the New York Strip. I enjoyed my cesar salad and then the New York Strip was delivered. It was prepared according to my request, medium, and I checked by cutting right down the middle. I noticed it was a little tough to cut even with the steak knife I provided but the inside looked as expected so I continued on. What I was surprised to find was the amount of gristle on the New York Strip. There is nothing like having to pull food out of your mouth (several times) at a public place because you can't possible chew or consume it. For $80 (salad, New York Strip, sides and desert) I expected better. Unfortunately, my experience leads me to leave a 3 star review.

    Lamb Chop Fondue
    Jenna T.

    My first time here after living in Arizona for 10 years! It is so warm and cozy inside. Has a rustic western chic vibe with wood fired ovens and a huge outdoor patio. For apps we got the lamb fondue which was super tender and unique. Dipping meet in cheese? Literally nothing better. Then we also got the green chili pork stew which is a MUST try! Not too spicy and full of flavor. Also, great for sharing as you fill it in the buttery tortillas. The filet was seriously one of the best I've ever had in Arizona. It has a nice shallot butter crust and it was cooked PERFECTLY medium rare. This was a highlight. The pork chop is huge and has a nice sweetness to it. The meat wasn't dry either...it pretty much tasted like the best bacon I've ever had LOL Everyone must get the green chili Mac n cheese. Not spicy at all just Smokey and tangy and full of cheese but shockingly not that heavy. The pecan pie was unreal. Gooey and sweet but the crust was still super flakey. The brownie skillet was soft in the middle which is how it always should be. Their known for their frozen huckleberry margarita which is a treat in its own but it's not too icey they definitely don't skip out on the tequila. Rachel was our server. She's been there for awhile so you know that they treat their staff well. She was super knowledgeable and honest about certain menu items. I also spoke with the manager, Matt, who was very welcoming and seemed very proud of his restaurant (as he should be). Overall highly reccomend it here. Everything exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely be returning!

    Cornbread & espresso martini
    Nick S.

    Roaring Fork in Oldtown is a must try! It fully embraces American Western Cuisine utilizing an open flame grill, and it's amazing! This place is great for a date night, celebration, business meal or start to the night out. The service is professional and gets every detail right! The steak is incredible! They cook it to absolute perfection & the seasoning they use is a game changer! I'm a huge chimichurri fan and they get it right; the chipotle Demi is a great accompaniment! No surprise, the salmon is also cooked perfectly try and the Asian flare makes this dish fantastic! You can never go wrong with getting cornbread on the side; be sure to try this spot out!

    Chicken wings
    David R.

    My girlfriend and I ended up coming to Roaring Fork two nights in a row because it was that good. The first night, I had the ribeye and she ordered the fried chicken with gravy and mashed potatoes -- both were outstanding. The steak was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and her chicken was crispy, rich, and pure comfort food. We shared the Brussels sprouts and the truffle fries, which were both incredible sides and easily big enough to split. I also had an Old Fashioned that was well-balanced and paired perfectly with the meal. We couldn't stop talking about it, so we came back the next night. This time we shared the "Big Ass Burger" and the wings, and somehow still saved room for dessert -- the skillet chocolate pecan brownie, which was absolutely decadent and the perfect way to finish the meal. Beyond the food, the ambience here really makes it special. Inside feels warm, cozy, and romantic, while the outdoor views are beautiful and add to the whole experience. Definitely one of those places that feels both elevated and comfortable at the same time. Two nights in a row says it all -- we'll absolutely be back.

    Spicy Wings and seasoned fries!
    John I.

    One of my wife's favorites . We always get a table . They do have a great happy hour but I equate that to a geriatric running of the bulls. I've never seen so many older people (I'm 67) fighting and squeezing to get in the bar to save a few bucks on a burger. I love a deal but I can afford dinner at a nice table rather than fighting for a spot. My wife and I took our daughter and son in law for a nice leisurely Christmas Eve dinner. Great food, service and ambiance. Perfect night!

    O'Zandra F.

    Nice, casual ambiance during happy hour. I feel like the bar staff does not have time to educate newbies. For a first timer, I didn't know where the restrooms were. And when I asked the bartender, he started laughing like it was a joke. So I would recommend giving a little grace to those that are new to the facility. The food (a burger)arrived trainable and it was delicious. There is accessible parking as well as entrance.

    Roasted Duck
    Jonas C.

    We celebrated my wife's birthday with her mom list last Friday and had a great server and lovely time. I enjoyed the roasted duck, my wife got the 8oz. filet and her mom the halibut with generally good feedback all around. For the duck, the the 'sauce' included felt more like a relish or jam, i thought it needed to be more viscous in order to coat the duck a bit better. The filet is cooked over wood fire and you can really taste it, delicious! I thought the bill at the end was a bit shocking considering we were only 3 people, it felt a bit pricey. However, i'd come back for special occasions!

    Crispy chicken bites
    Vern G.

    Kaileigh was our server and did an amazing job, we sat on the patio Category 6 Lemonade Smirnoff Citron, raspberry and orange vodka, chambord, lime, Huckleberry lemonade Delicious, refreshing, good blend of liquors Peach Palmer Ketel One peach and Orange blossom, lemonade, iced tea I don't know if it's just the vodka, but I don't taste peach, I don't taste orange, I just taste water Queso con Puerco Green chili pork, red pepper relish, corn chips I could eat a vat of this, really delicious, an amazing amount of pork, good heat Big ass burger Poblano, cheddar, bacon, lettuce, (no tomato for us), onion, pickles, Chipotle mayo, we ordered it cooked medium, comes with fries The burger patty doesn't taste like there was any seasoning used, we asked for medium and got closer to rare, the burger patty to bun ratio was so far off the patty immediately slid out the back side of the bun with the first bite, The bacon was there but in name only, I didn't detect even a hint of poblano, we even tried to salvage it by putting the queso puerco on it, but it was not going to help We sent it back and decided to get the crispy chicken bites appetizer The fries were amazing, seasoned well, crispy on the outside, the Chipotle mayo was delicious Crispy chicken bites appetizer Right off the bat the presentation was okay, but it was very obvious that some of the pieces had been fried much longer than others based on the color of the breading, after taking the first bite it was immediately obvious these were not seasoned chicken bites that were fried, these were basic Sysco chicken bites that had been fried, and then tossed with seasoning salt, likely some food service Nashville hot seasoning, and the ranch just tasted like something from a jar These went back as well, after speaking to the manager I've been considering coming here for years, and I was really looking forward to it To say that the food missed the mark is an understatement, sadly, this has been my experience several times in the Scottsdale road corridor Obviously not recommending, not returning

    Huckleberry cheesecake
    Kemlyn B.

    Roaring Fork 2-4-1 holiday special! Wow! Sign up for their email to enjoy this amazing deal! Two for the Price of one meal. Even without that special, the food here is amazing. The slow roasted chicken was melt in your mouth lovely and so flavorful. The cornbread stuffing was light and not overdone. Huckleberry syrup is dangerously addictive. Ask for a splash in your tea, lemonade, margarita. I had it in my Arnold Palmer and the the delicious decadent cheesecake. I will be back for the lamb fondue appetizer and the cheesecake on non 2-4-1 days!

    Dessert
    Misti L.

    Birthday dinner for one of my besties and it was fantastic! Great table and menu selections are thoughtful. The Envious OF was good but somewhat ordinary compared to the rest of the choices. My pork tenderloin was immaculate. Often anything bacon wrapped is hit or miss if both are cooked correctly. Crispy bacon and tender medium pork loin was on point! The cornbread appetizer was enjoyed by all. Pecan pie was served with Butter pecan ice cream-a very nice surprise. Travis was our server. He wrangled us pretty well.

    Jalapeño margarita

    Came here for date night and left pretty underwhelmed. We had reservations but were first seated right next to the kitchen super hot from the lamps and way too much traffic to be enjoyable not exactly the vibe we want for a night out. We did move tables, thankfully. I started with a bartenders specialty jalapeño margarita no presentation flavor was ok! Just disappointing. My husband's Shrimp and jalapeño grits were tasty but the shrimp were small and the portion didn't quite match the 28.00 price tag. I ordered the Cedar plank salmon looked great, tasted like nothing zero cedar flavor bland soybutter just overall forgettable, green beans were cooked well but came with ends still on, small thing but annoying. Service was good our waitress was nice so no complaints there. Honestly so many great restaurants in Scottsdale this one just doesn't stand out we won't be going back.. The 2 stars are 1 for our waitress and 1 for the ambience..

    Fried Chicken
    Nik H.

    It was the last place my family and I visited during our trip. A couple of friends joined us for dinner. It was a beautiful interior, very rustic but hip. It was cool and dark, and the tables and seating were very comfortable. It heightened the experience. Our server was excellent. She was very patient and let us catch up with our friends over some outstanding cocktails. I had the Old Fashioned. It was so good, I had two. We ordered 3 amazing appetizers - The chicken wings, the queso, and the Jalapeño poppers wrapped in bacon. Everything was outstanding. Dinner entrees were equally fantastic. Two of my kids had the "big ass burger", and the third had the fried chicken. One of our guests and my wife had the shrimp and grits and were very happy. I ordered the 22 oz., bone-in rib-eye steak cooked medium rare to rare. It was perfectly prepared and so amazingly juicy. It was one of the best steaks that I have had anywhere. I ate every bite and gnawed on the bone. We also ordered the street corn and the truffled fries as sides, and we were VERY happy with all of them. The food was simply the best we had in Scottsdale. I do not know what the final cost was, as our guests picked up the bill. I do not believe the prices I remember from the menu were out of line for the quantity and quality of the food. If you want an elegant night out and have amazing food, service, and drinks, then go here.

    Ask the Community - Roaring Fork

    Is this a quieter place to be able to have a conversation?

    Not that I can remember. It was pretty busy.

    The website has images of pizza but pizza isn't on the menu online. Do they offer pizza?

    They have Flatbread which looks like pizza but really is not pizza.

    And what days of the week is HH too? Thanks!

    4-6p in BAR ONLY, but think it's everyday. Suggest a call to confirm.

    When does HH start and end?

    4-6pm. It's in the bar area ONLY so people usually line up outside before 4pm.

    I have been trying to reach them for days to confirm my reservation for my daughters 21st?Can someone confirm they are still in business.

    They don't bother answering the phone or return voicemail messages. It's a crappy way to do business but it seems to work for them. They'll contact you the day before your reservation.

    What time is happy hour?

    Happy Hour starts at 4:00 pm - they ring a bell then allow you to find a seat in the bar area - first come/first served. I am not sure with Covid-19 and social distancing if they allow everyone to pack in the lobby to wait for the bell.

    Does roaring fork take apple pay?

    sorry I do not know.

    Where was Roaring Fork before it moved to Scottsdale Rd?

    I believe it has always been on Scottsdale road. At least since 2002...

    Is there any vegan meat on the menu?

    I was just there last night and did not see anything of this kind.

    Do you have happy hour every day?

    Yes! 4-6pm

    Is it true you have specials on non-major holidays such as today, the Presidents Da?

    Today we are offering our regular Happy Hour and dinner menu.

    Yelp says the restaurant is byob is that true?

With it being Old Town, free street parking is your best bet. After dinner, I hopped on the trusty Yelp app to look up bars in the area. Porters Western Saloon came up... and here's the thing, that night, they were starting their Halloween pop-up. Couldn't say no to that! Ambiance (4/5): I love a good pop-up, especially when it's about my favorite holiday. Porters has both a downstairs and an upstairs bar. The downstairs bar is their typical country bar. Upstairs is where the pop-up's at. The upstairs area isn't huge, it can probably fit about 30 people or so. There are a couple of tables and we were lucky enough to snag a high top after ordering at the bar. Lots of Halloween decor added to the vibe. Service (4.5/5): The bartender, despite it being pretty busy, greeted us promptly. She checked in with us after we perused the menu, got our cocktails ready quickly, and explained how to work the cocktail (more on that later). Food (N/A): I don't believe they have food. Either way, we had dinner prior. Drinks (4.5/5): They had a special Halloween-themed menu with six cocktails or so. Out of the bunch, the cocktail served in a pseudo blood bag stood out. I've only had this type of drink once, in New Orleans. Not something you come across every day. We were given light-up glasses to pour our bloody concoction (which had a mechanism to open and close the tube). Tasty mixed drink, a little on the sweet side for me, but definitely worth the presentation. Make sure to check out the pop-up while you still can! I'll have to return to check out the downstairs bar. And to see what other pop-ups they have at other points in the year.

I've found that people--regulars and visitors--are friendly and easy to talk to. OTT is closing in this location and will be reopening in the old Back Door space directly behind it.

A few of the bartenders have a certain je ne sais quoi.... unfortunately not the warm, welcoming kind. There's a level of attitude that just doesn't match my personal experiences or memories of this place. The crowd has changed too. Different energy, different vibe, and maybe just not one I blend with anymore. Suppose I've grown up and maybe it's time to move on. It's a shame because this place was genuinely a staple for me and earned those five stars once upon a time. Back then, it was the staff and the atmosphere that made it. Of the latest visits, the only person who carried that same familiar energy was Derek. He wasn't even behind the bar, but as always, it was a pleasure seeing him. Not the five-star spot for me that it once was, but maybe it's just become a place for the next generation.

What completely blew my mind: they serve ice-cold 12-ounce cans of Coors Banquet for just 75 cents each. That alone is worth talking about. The whole place has a fun, no-frills, saloon atmosphere that feels like a real Scottsdale institution. Want to leave your mark? Grab a thumbtack and add a dollar bill to the wall. Although judging by the number already up there, you definitely will not be the first. Amazing atmosphere, great music, unbelievable beer prices, and a party from wall to wall. Party on! Note: the $.75 beer is an honor of their 75th birthday. So I'm not sure how long that deal goes on.

    Hip and lively dive bar in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale! As I visited Scottsdale and on a…read moreleisure walk checking out the scene, came across this packed dive bar that seemed to be the spot to be that evening! Small dive bar with limited seating and a small bar so good luck trying to grab a drink. However, once it's your turn, the bartenders are quick and efficient. Love the live music band covers they have that gets the crowd dancing and having an enjoyable night. The band takes song requests does a wonderful job! Mix crowd of young and old patrons. If you love live music, this is your spot!

Huge thanks to the management and ownership for genuinely caring about their guests it really shows. A special shoutout to my waitress, Kaitlyn. She was an absolute pleasure and made the experience even better. I had the HULA'S Mai Tai, crispy coconut shrimp rolls, and fried sweet plantains. The Mai Tai and shrimp rolls were my favorites! As someone with tropical roots, I know good plantains. While they're not quite like the Caribbean, they definitely satisfied my tropical craving. The highlight of my visit was being surprised with a birthday ice cream sundae and a candle it was such a thoughtful touch. I'll definitely be back to try the tacos and the Arizona-brewed IPA. Thank you, HULA'S, for turning my first impression into a great one!

    When we first discovered this spot back when it was Liquor Pig, we came specifically to try some…read morecocktails, and then spontaneously ordered the bone marrow poutine on a whim. What we didn't realize at the time was that we had stumbled upon one of those dishes that would stick with us! So when Liquor Pig closed, we were genuinely sad to see it go, but then delighted to learn that the same chef was spearheading Wayward and, most importantly, that the legendary bone marrow poutine made its way onto the new menu. And thankfully, it's still just as memorable! The bone marrow is incredibly luscious, rich, and decadent, and the whole dish is the perfect indulgent pairing for Wayward's creative cocktails. The portion is also a great size for two people to share, especially since it's definitely a rich dish. We also tried the Jaew Chicken which was tasty and definitely a little different from what I'd normally order. It was a nice addition to the meal, but honestly, the poutine is the reason we'll keep coming back to this place! While walking through the restaurant, I noticed quite a few tables enjoying the bone in short rib taco board and those portions are serious. That platter could easily feed four people, so it's definitely something to keep in mind if you're dining with a group. All in all, I'm happy that Wayward has kept one of my favorite dishes from the Liquor Pig days alive. If you're looking for creative cocktails with something rich and indulgent to snack on, do yourself a favor and order the bone marrow poutine!

My family and I came to check it out, and we all really enjoyed it. The menu is such a cool fusion of Asian and Mexican/Latin flavors -- definitely different, but in the best way. We ordered the pork carnitas board, and it was AWESOME. Calling it "carnitas" almost doesn't do it justice because the pork reminded me more of a super meaty pork belly -- tender, flavorful, and there was a TON of it. There were four of us sharing, and we still had leftovers! The homemade blue corn tortillas were amazing, and I loved all the different sauces. They had that Asian-fusion flavor with a Latin spin that somehow just worked. And give me ALL the pickled veggies! The pickled slaw and vegetables added that perfect tangy crunch to the rich pork and really balanced everything out. The kimchi rice on the side was another fun touch and went perfectly with the whole meal. It's a small, laid-back spot, and there was a one-man band playing acoustic guitar and singing some great classic songs while we were there, which made the atmosphere even better. Nothing stuffy or overdone -- just relaxed, good food, good music, and a really enjoyable night. Definitely glad TikTok led us to this little hidden gem. I'm happy we tried it, and I would absolutely go back!

It feels brand new and the staff is super kind and friendly. - Super cute venue and I love the decor and the AI generated duck photos on the walls, LOL! - Expected board games with the name, but was pleasantly surprised to find miniature versions of bowling, axe throwing and curling! - This spot is perfect for company get-together's, which is what I was there for, birthday parties or just a low-key hang out with friends. Highly recommend checking out House Rules, especially with our summers being so hot. This is a great indoor activity. My birthday is coming up in August and even thinking of throwing a small birthday thing here with friends/family!

    We were exploring Old Town Scottsdale last February when we came across this spot. We were already…read moredeep within the 2026 olympics, so, we thought it might be neat to try curling. Now I realize that the 2026 was a Summer Olympics and Curling is part of the Winter Olympics, but we didn't care Upon entry to go to the host stand and tell them what you're looking to do (activities vs bar/waiting). The space is relatively open and you can immediately see the fully stocked bar, the bowling area, the back axe throwing lanes, and the enclosed curling lanes. We opted for a package that got us unlimited games (any) for an hour. We started with curling and we didn't need any special clothes or shoes. We were lead to a lane and it's set up like shuffleboard (you can stand on either side and there's two separate color stones). There's ice where you glide your stones and you stand on rubber for traction. You can glide by hand or use a piece of equipment that is essentially a stick to help push and guide your stone. There's an attendant on duty to help any stones that are stuck or that don't make it down the lane The experience was awesome. We've always wanted to try curling, but it's difficult to find somewhere that is set up to let you do that. We were amazed that we finally tried it in a desert of all places. There are no brushes like in typical curling, but you still get a sense of the Olympic activity. The bowling was fun too, but it's a smaller version like you might see in some novelty bars. Axe throwing was that of typical ax throwing. You had a couple different sizes of axes, there's lanes and you throw at a wooden target. They had computers to input your name and keep track of points. It was sometimes difficult to stick the wooden target, but it was fun We didn't try the food or drink, but everything looked good. The staff were very helpful. It was a weekend, and it wasn't overly crowded which was nice. Overall it was a fun experience Some tips: If your stones seem to be getting stuck down the lane, ask the attendant to move you to another lane. That's what we did and it made all the difference Explore the rest of bustling Old Town Scottsdale. There's literally something for everyone, and definitely check out the Frybread Lounge for some great Native American fusion cuisine Chee

I Ubered but like most of Old Town Scottsdale, there's plenty of free street parking. You may need to circle around during peak hours, but you'll find a spot. Ambiance (3/5): Pour Decisions is an open air bar, and a pretty expansive one at that. Beyond the open-air area, there's also a spacious patio and a rooftop. I love a good rooftop. With it being Phoenix, when the weather cooperates of course. The aesthetic of the bar was too "Instagram culture" for me with neon witty quotes and such, but some people are into that. Service (2.5/5): It took us about 10 minutes for the bartender to greet us while we were sitting at the bar. It got to the point where we were wondering if anyone was working. Luckily, after a slow start, service was pretty decent after that. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet on this visit. Drinks (3/5): The menu matches the vibe. The cocktail list has some pretty fun options, but of the overly sweet variety that lacks sophistication. I couldn't help but order a cocktail that was served in a cowboy boot-shaped glass with a popsicle in it. Fun for the novelty of it but it was a mediocre drink. While I am being a little critical, Pour Decisions has its purpose. If you're looking for a spot to hang out in a big group, Pour Decisions is solid given how large of a space it is.
