I love pickleball. I love chicken. Naturally, I love Chicken N Pickle…read more This place is just plain fun. One of the best things about pickleball is that almost anyone can play. You don't have to be a world-class athlete to have a good time, and that's part of what makes it so addictive. My first visit was with my wife and some cousins and aunts visiting from Iowa. We spent the afternoon playing a few spirited games of pickleball--which I absolutely dominated, for the record--while enjoying some snacks and drinks before heading inside for dinner. The food was surprisingly good. I'd describe it as elevated bar food that actually delivers on the flavor. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was energetic without feeling overwhelming, and the entire place just had a welcoming vibe. We'll definitely be back... and back... and back. Anyone need a doubles partner?

Chicken N Pickle was the perfect spot for a work networking event! It was so much fun getting to…read moreshow our out-of-state coworkers that Phoenix has some serious personality (and yes... a little rizz too ). The atmosphere is what really makes this place stand out. It's open, energetic, and gives everyone options--whether you want to jump into a game of pickleball, play cornhole, or just relax on the lawn and chat. It made networking feel natural instead of forced. The food and drinks were both great, but what impressed me most was the staff. It didn't matter who we asked for help--everyone was friendly, attentive, and happy to assist. That level of service really elevated the experience. If you're looking for a fun place to host a team-building event, networking mixer, or just hang out with friends, I highly recommend Chicken N Pickle. I already can't wait for our next team event here!

Quite appalling. Apparently establishment is ok with patrons verbally assaulting and harassing…read morecustomers on the premises. If you complain they will claim to address the situation. But if the bullying and harassing party continues to get physically in the space of the person who was already assaulted, they are expected to allow that person to abuse them again. If you assert yourself and don't allow that person in your space, somehow it's officially an altercation and after the assaulting party leaves, the victim will be demanded to leave as well 20 minutes later. Zero honoring of protecting the space of harassed party as was promised. Zero answer when assaulted party asks "what should I have done when person you said would be told to leave me alone again gets in my face? " Get away from me got not response. Aggressive hand gestures didn't work either. I spent a great deal of money in a place where I just wanted to have a peaceful night. Apparently one is expected to tolerate being verbally harassed and should literally run away from abusive people here. I guess legal recourse only option since rational conversation not respected. Promise to tell abusive party to stay away not honored. And basic standards of respect not on the menu.

I would say that the short time we were able to come in and enjoy a cocktail we had a great time…read more I feel this little bar had potential, and I felt as though they were like our last place we hung out at by our old house. I felt Jessica the bartender went above and beyond to do her job and make you feel almost like family. The last time my bf and I stopped in we only planned to stay for one drink because we had things to take care of. We never get out of line, and we dont overstay our night out ever. Upon leaving the bar the last time we were approached very rudely by a gentleman looking for a lottery ticket he misplaced. We did not even use the restroom on this visit, and explained that to the other customer and apparently he had jumped to conclusions and thought we took his misplaced lotto ticket, and him and his buddy waited for us to leave the bar. Once we walked out the door, this man had a bad attitude and started making accusations about the lottery ticket he misplaced. I told the guy that he should go inside and ask "Jessica" the bartender to see the video of the spot that my bf and I were sitting at, and then he too will find out that we never left our seats until we were leaving. At that point I then stated maybe he could then apologize for the rude accusations he was making. At that point the other guy was pretty drunk and not wanting to hear anything we said, he only wanted to fight and he made it pretty clear when he went after my bf, and they got into it in the parking lot! After he was done with his bickering with my bf he came after me because I told him to make sure to view that camera and when he finds his lottery ticket later,he could apologize to us. And the guy was still very aggressive, and he even shoved me down in the parking lot. By that time my bf was coming to protect me and we just left the bar. Upon showing up a few days later, "Jay" was bartender and told us we were {86'd} from the bar and upon speaking to others that were there that day they even compared notes, and they found the guy's lottery ticket stuck between the toilet and the wall and I am very upset and hurt that we are treated as the unruly one's, and we only defended ourselves. We did not start a fight with the other guy, he approached us and waited outside the door to harass us. "Jessica" if you can contact me through my email or on Facebook I would appreciate it! Or even one of the owner's. I enjoyed going to Willie's, it is a really nice bar and have not ever had issues like this. Everyone that knows us there will even acknowledge that were not trouble makers. My email is pjfish777@gmail.com or reach me on Facebook ~ my name is Pamela Fisher. Thank you don't want my personal phone listed on here ~ Hkw embarrassing to be 86'd!! I have never been 86'd from anyplace

I galloped into Willy's Bar. Who am I kidding? It was a "Trot" at best. Anyhoo, I received some…read moreinteresting looks from the obvious regulars. I was told that this was the premier Furry Bar in the Valley of the Sun, but now I feel that someone was playing a cruel joke on me, because I was the only one dressed head to toe in, what I refer to as "Fantasy Gear". Truth be told, I identify as a Unicorn, but with a severed horn. (Nasty hot-tub jet accident). Well, I had my blinders on, so I was ready to just prance out the door, when one of the "Humans" offered me a Pink Pussy. I was taken aback and flattered!! Turns out it was a shot. Still good though. Anyhoo. They asked me to sing Karaoke, but I was a little hoarse. I finished my drink and sugar-footed to the door. For what could've been a nightmare experience, ended up being quite "Nnnneighhh-borly". They accepted me for who I was. If you sometimes feel like you are the only one of you, come take a drink at the stream of Willy's. You can lead a disfigured unicorn to water, but seldomly can you make it drink. But I drank. Try it out sometime. Even if you break your leg, I feel they probably wouldn't shoot you. Cheers!!

Mac n cheese a little on the dry side. Baby back ribs were excellent, burnt ends pretty good. The pulled pork was average. Seemed like they used steam or water to keep it moist, but it took away from the flavor. Bbq sauce was excellent. There was a band that was pretty good playing classic rock. Overall 4.5 stars!

They close fairly early, even on weekends. The remaining server, Samantha, was happy to help us and didn't make us feel rushed.

Enjoying the large aquarium while eating is always an extra treat!

Here's a polished version of your review:…read more I didn't expect this place to be anything special at first--just another little hole-in-the-wall brunch spot. But I was genuinely surprised by how great the entire experience turned out to be. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. The servers were kind, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout the meal. The owner even came by our table to talk with us about the restaurant, their values, and the care they put into making everything from scratch. That personal touch, along with a complimentary dessert, really made the experience memorable. The food was outstanding. The chicharrones were perfectly crunchy and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. The salsa tasted incredibly fresh and paired well with everything on the table. The carne asada was cooked beautifully, developing a flavorful crust from the Maillard reaction, which gave it that rich, savory, slightly crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy. Overall, this was one of those restaurants that completely exceeded my expectations. Between the warm hospitality, attention to detail, and excellent food, it's a place I'll definitely be coming back to. If you're looking for authentic Mexican brunch with great people behind it, this spot is absolutely worth a visit. Also nice clean bathroom
