Disappointed in the corned, beef and cabbage cabbage was brussels sprouts, and the corn beef was very tough and the potatoes garlic mashed with cheese were very good read more

Came back for a second time as I promised. I wasn't sure what I wanted, leaning towards the green chili brats. Then the chicken salad sandwich stood out from the menu. I am very happy I changed my mind. The chicken salad sandwich comes on a crossiant with two healthy slices of tomatoes and lettuce on the side. The chicken salad consists of roasted chicken, walnuts, dried cranberries and celery. This sandwich was great, it was so good. I ordered one more to take home for mama. Like I mentioned on the previous review. This place is amazing. Great live entertainment, great drinks and good food read more

Came here with fellow residents from Golden Vista & Lost Dutchman for our usual Tuesday Lunchfest. What an amazing place & outstanding service we had! Yessie took such awesome care of us & kept us going with drinks, a smile, & a great sense of humor! I ordered the steak street tacos & they were so tasty! The PERFECT thing on Taco Tuesday! The serving portion was just right for me as well! I HIGHLY recommend these tacos! The ambiance is bright, festive, & inviting! This place is just awesome! They have a stage for live music here as well! read more

Cute place with an indoor outdoor patio. Food was decent. We only wished they had more choices for seltzers.

Great food, good service, family owned restaurant I love the live music and wonderful patio area

Absolutely great experience at the handlebar. Their burgers are fantastic, lots of meat and cooked perfectly. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of it, I was too hungry (from hiking). Our waitress was super nice and had no issues with letting us sample from their amazing beer selection. Outdoor space is covered so you aren't too hot from the sun but also getting nice air flow. The appetizers were all excellent too. Thanks for everything! We will go back for sure before we travel home. read more

A lovely place, that used to have great food. The Brussels sprouts were left over from thanksgiving, wet, soggy and cooked to death, they opened a can of beets and drizzled balsamic & some cheese. It was a horrible 70$ non dinner! read more

Arrived yesterday to a partially filled restaurant after the Kentucky Derby party. My 10th wedding anniversary- We just wanted a nice table to listen to the band and have a couple of drinks and dinner. We were "dressed to impress". Snow bird couple ahead of us in shorts and t-shirts given a prime outdoor table- we were given a fire pit "table" right next to the bar- not exactly romantic or conducive to eating a meal. So we left, went to the Hub in Mesa and dropped $100. As locals, we try to give AJ some business but each restaurant will learn a lesson- if you don't treat us kindly we take our business elsewhere. Guess you'll wait until the temps drop again to keep customers. Sad that we had a good experience there years ago but you couldn't accommodate locals looking for a date night location. We don't do chains and enjoy going out. Your loss. See ya! read more

Great food, great atmosphere! Thursday night special (loaded stuffed potatoe with pulled pork) was awesome!

Perfect outdoor setting! Great service by April. Ordered beer and nachos. Never before seen excellent selection of gluten-free beers. Ginormous plate of good nachos. Only negatives: Ordered extra salsa that was inedible unfortunately. Perhaps forgot salt? And beer glasses room temperature. But overall we had such a great time in the cozy patio with a warm and friendly server and good reasonably-priced beer. We can't wait to come back. Recommend! ~EG Eats read more

What an awesome place- will 100% be back! The ambiance was very relaxing with a duo singing group, Christmas lights to light up the outdoor patio! The food was good, steak & shrimp shish kebabs w/side salad!

Once again a 10/10 experience! My family and I sat outside and had a cozy little fire keeping us warm. The music was getting set up for a live band that was going to play. We had a couple drinks and, nachos, mushroom burger, chili burger, and a chicken sandwich. The sides were absolutely wonderful- if you like brisket sprouts you HAVE to try the ones here! Everyone was super kind and helpful. Now, don't come here in a rush good food takes time to prepare. This is the perfect place when the family is wanting to sit and enjoy some music and spend some time. I love this place and my family will always return! read more

Great Ambiance, service, and food! They have a large gluten free menu and many items can be made gluten free.

Great service and loved sitting outside at a table with propane fire ring. The food was delicious!

Spent a Friday evening here with my family. We were looking for something different than all the spots we usually go to. There are two sides. There's a bar side and an outdoor side that has live music. We sat in the bar side as it was the quickest available. Our server was so sweet and attentive. She chatted with everyone at the table. Made sure the kids had everything they needed. We ordered. The food came in a good amount of time. It was delicious. I ordered a mushroom Swiss, my wife got the ribs. Everyone at the table really enjoyed their food. There were zero issues, service was amazing, and the food was tasty. We will be going back for sure. As we were leaving we saw the band playing outside in the patio areas. They were great and it wasn't too loud. You could still talk over the music. Highly recommend this place. read more

30 minutes for a burger that never showed up?!? We walked. BTW-Don't sit near the bathrooms. Their neighbor is much better!

I enjoy lunch with my friends on the patio often. Handlebar makes wonderful real delicious food! My friend was able to bring her dog to the patio too and he was such a big hit with all the ladies (fluffy and friendly). This is a great place to enjoy an afternoon. I look forward to visiting when there is live music. read more

After a long day on the trails we wanted a laid back, come as you are dinner. This place didn't disappoint! The beer was crisp, the food was fresh, and we left saying we would be back should we be on the area again! read more

Recently some friends said let's go to Handlebars for lunch. I reached out to the restaurant to see if there were any low carb options. The owner responded within hours with a list of options. So our group of 11 had lunch yesterday and I was impressed. Great service, large menu, a really good beer selection, and more. Ended up having the pulled port stuffed pepper and a side of grilled zucchini. Excellent across the board. I will be back. Also, my lunch partners all seemed to enjoy their salads, burgers, and more. read more

Good vibes! The patio space was awesome, it was a cool night but they had plenty of fires and heaters, making it cozy. The strawberry margarita made with fermented agave was amazing, so tasty and cheap, I regret not ordering another round. Food was okay and service was great! Overall, seems like a great hangout place. There were a good amount of customers on a weeknight. read more

It's kind of a fun place , lots of outdoor kitch , neon , lights in the trees ect , our server a young lady though not overly efficient was quite pleasant and had a good sense of humor , I ordered the green chili burger , medium, I will say it came out perfect , although must have sat for a while before being served because it was pretty much room temp , after waiting an hour for our dinner I was not going to send it back , we also ordered a side Salad which was 99% lettuce , a very unexciting salad , a good beer selection, read more

Great experience for first timers. We switched tables due to the sun with no arguments

This place was such a good find!! The service was amazing and the food was great! We brought our kids and they loved all the spooky Halloween decorations. The staff accommodated them with a large jenga to keep them entertained. They don't have a kids menu but they loved the cheeseburger! I got their special (jalapeño popper grilled cheese) and it was delicious!! I'll definitely be back, maybe without kids to experience the live music!! read more

This place is absolutely beautiful. The ambiance during the day is amazing. I bet at night it's spectacular with all of its different lighting!! The food is delicious and very well prepared and surprisingly reasonably priced! They have a lot of smoked meets on the menu too! The same staff has been here for years and I can see why. They all love the place and are all like family! This is definitely somewhere to bring your out-of-towners or visitors! Or even come for for lunch or dinner, you won't feel alone! They even serve alcohol (but not liquor ) Their variety of different beers and wines is huge. You gotta come on Wine Wednesday where they give away bottles of wine from $10-$17!!! The only bad thing I can say about this place is that they are closed on Sunday and Monday. I could go on and on but you pretty much get the gist of how great this place is!!! (Sorry I didn't take any pics of the food, I wish I did but I was too busy admiring the whole place. I'll get pics of the food next time. I'll definitely be going back soon!) read more

Service was very good. Ribs and acorn squash were cooked to perfection. Only think is bacon would be great on squash. Portions good. Music was fine ????? Soul. Love the outside ambience. read more

Food portions are big and frankly pretty darn delicious. Outside venue with plenty of shade and a really cool, laidback vibe. Fun place after a ride or for fun with friends. Large beer selection with plenty of craft beers for all tastes. Just a big wine selection too. No liquor here but with all the beer and wine choices who needs that. read more

The Handlebar Pub & Grill - Pulled pork nachos. HUGE! - Pubs Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

This place is so unique / we love it. Nothing is fried everything smoked or grilled. Service has always been great. I guess the only negative thing is the secrets out- get there early. We saw Tobey and Novak and it was (and usually is) packed. Outside is so eclectic we love it. Makes you feel like you're in your backyard. Service has always been outstanding and the beer choices are pretty good for AZ (though still looking for that killer juicy hazy ne ipa that I haven't found in az). read more

We decided to try the Handlebar Pub and Grill tonight! There was 6 of us and on Valentines Day, we didn't have a reservation. The kind hostess, Doreen, pleasantly worked us in at a cozy table on the patio. It was our first time here, and DEFINITELY won't be our last!! Our server, Alenna, was so sweet and VERY EFFICIENT. She was knowledgeable with their extensive beer and wine menu, as well as the food menu. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that NONE of their food is deep fried!! It's all either smoked or grilled! We started with grilled Brussel sprouts, beets, and smashed potatoes! All very tasty!! I had a good old fashioned pizza burger with grilled asparagus. All of the entrees were delicious and enjoyed by our group! Also, all us girls got a complimentary carnation for Valentines day, along with candy kisses and a free dessert for our birthday girl!! The atmosphere is relaxing and everyone took good care of us!! OUTSTANDING JOB Handlebar crew!! We will see you again soon!! read more

The Handlebar Pub & Grill - Alenna, our Wonderful server tonight - Pubs Near Me - Apache Junction, Arizona

First of all, we didn't realize that they don't have a deep fryer. We were both in the mood for a pub style hamburger and decided to give them a try. Had we known that fries are not available here, we probably would've ordered something else. While the menu looks like it has some awesome food, we found the actual hamburger lacking flavor and the sides an afterthought and had hard pieces of potatoes. The pub itself is fun and the service was okay. I'd just try something more geared to the way they cook next time or just come for drinks. read more

Okay food and good service but the burger didn't have sauce on it when it said it did on the menu..also please get a veggie burger option not just a slice of tofu! read more

Party of 3 and first time here. I have never in my life had a pins colada on the rocks but I will always ask for it this way now. Also the food was yummy. Blue cheese potato salad was one of the best potato salads I have ever had from a restaurant. Stuffed Casilla pepper was amazing. The Thursday night special was the stuffed tomato potato with brisket, so delicious. The service was great and the live music even better. Will be back. read more

I really wanted to enjoy The Handlebar Pub and Grill and I did, but only for a few reasons. I walked right in and sat down at the bar because that is my comfy place. The service was phenomenal!! Positive vibes all around, especially from the lovely Elena. She had such a beautiful, fun energy; if you were still grumpy after an interaction with this sweet little sprite, then you are the negative Nancy. Sue, our bartender, was spot on with the beer recommendations from their extensive selection. However, the food was disappointing. We ordered the nachos with brisket instead of pork. While the idea sounds like a gastronome's dream come true, it was edible only because I was stoned and hungry. The brisket was dry, and the cheese was unmelted--both key components to successful nachos, and neither was there. Let's move on to the atmosphere. They had a live band, which I was super excited about because I LOVE live music. While I support anyone who can do things that I can't do, like stand in front of a group of people and play an instrument and sing, it was bad. I really wanted to support them, but they were just above Wednesday night karaoke at best--off key, off tempo, just off. So, in a nutshell, go for the AMAZING beer selection and super fun staff. The food, at least the nachos, were mediocre at best, even with the brisket. read more
