This place was a surprisingly great find. From the outside it looks like a super casual…read moreneighborhood bar, but... * Food: the food is actually excellent, far better than I expected. Big portions, a huge menu (see pics), and genuinely good value across the board. Mmmm, that burger was good, juicy, thick, smokey, rich, and flavorful with warm, gooey cheese, fresh toppings and thick, warm, home-cut fries-o-plenty, excellent! If you're looking for a spot where the food punches way above expectations, this is it. *Atmosphere: depending on when you come, inside can get packed and feel a bit small when the crowd fills in. The vibe is extremely casual and laid back, the kind of place you could easily make your own and become a regular without even trying. The live music in the evening was great, but definitely loud, both the band and the crowd. If you're coming for quiet conversation on live music nights, this isn't the place. However, the crowd, noise level, and how packed it gets really depends on when you come in. Weekday lunch is significantly quieter, but evenings after work and weekends, especially when there's a band, get loud and busy fast. They have a large outdoor patio, which is a nice plus, but it was pretty smoky when we were there. Nice energy, just not the best for non-smokers. *Service: there were a lot of servers working, and ours was very sweet, friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. Exactly what you hope for in a bar like this. I felt "taken care of" and you can't put a price on that. *Overall: casual, lively, loud, and far better food than you'd ever expect. If you want a laid-back local spot with great food, live music, and a neighborhood feel, this is a solid pick and one you could easily end up visiting regularly. I added a few burger and menu photos to help you get a feel. Highly recommend!

If I'm being honest in my review this place should be called "Alright Time Charlie's" or "It was a…read moreFine Time Charli's" . I recently visited GTC after a high school basketball game with some friends and while we had a good experience I wanted more. The atmosphere is great. Dive bar feel that is clean and has charm and a great neighborhood vibe. The band in the corner didn't drown out our conversation and played old country music that was fun and upbeat. Our waiter was great offering suggestions and checking in on us regularly. Where the disappointment came in was our food and drinks. We ordered sliders, quesadilla, and the Philly cheesesteak. All of them were "fine" with the sliders being more bread than slider and same for the Philly. The quesadilla was the best of the options and had lots of ingredients packed in. Our drinks were also less than ideal as they seemed to have zero alcohol. If you are gonna drink go with beer since what you see is what you get. Cocktails were short pours and watered down. I even called them out after the first one and nothing changed with the second so I stopped donating. At the End of the Day, Good Time Charlis is not a bad stop and I'm sure the regulars are die hard. So if you go, let me help in my experience and simply order a quesadilla, beer of choice, and listen to the band...the best part of the night.

My wife ordered a Turkey Bacon sandwich I ordered a Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich. My wife told me about 2 bites in that we would be back. For my chicken sandwich, I'm a fan. Before this my favorite chicken sandwich was from a restaurant that closed about 20 years ago. I order chicken sandwiches everywhere I go. This sandwich was better than any chicken sandwich I've had in over 20 years. It was better than the one I used to have. I told her we were coming back tomorrow but she said no because then it wouldn't be special. This place is an perfect sports bar, we will be back a lot. Just gotta figure out what kind of reception we'll get if we come in our Green Bay Packers gear!

My first pint was a Hefeweizen. It had a slight waxy mouthfeel. My second pint was an oatmeal stout. At 7.3% ABV it was a tad strong, but it went down very smoothly.

Had a blast at Sawtooth this past Tuesday. It was a trivia night. Ordered a Moscow mule, some chili…read morecheese tots (basically tater tots with fully loaded nacho fixins), and parked it with my friends. The totchos were great, I ate more than my stomach appreciated. My husband ordered a fried chicken sandwich with marinara and a cold beer. I did not ask him how his meal was, but his sandwich disappeared pretty quickly so im assuming it was tasty. The woman running trivia was delightful, with a fantastically dry sense of humor. At one point she mentioned she once got to see Prince and touched his ankle. Long story short, I have now touched the hand that touched Prince's ankle. We made it through 7 rounds of trivia and somehow WON! A crowning achievement of year 37 of my life, for sure. This win earned us: a $25 gift certificate to the lovely Sawtooth Bar & Grill establishment, a rubber ducky of our choosing, a crystal pendant (optional), and 1 week of ownership of the trivia night trophy . We did not trust ourselves to remember to bring back the trophy, and I did not trust some of the fellas to bring it back in one piece, so the bar staff graciously took custody of it until next week's trivia night. The bar itself is super cozy. Nice low lighting, small place but you don't feel cramped. Lots of TVs and a few arcade games. My husband and his BFF frequent this spot and tell me wonderful things about the owner. With the decor, setup, menu and general ambience, it feels like a Midwestern bar more than one in AZ. All in all, I really enjoyed myself and will happily return for another trivia night. If the staff ever happens upon this review, I apologize for the conjoined twins that are my husband and his best friend Scott. They're like a couple of labradors out on a play date when they're together. Thanks again for the fantastic evening, Sawtooth!
