    Cool spot. Very small, but cool. My friends are in a band and they happened to be playing while I…read morewas in town visiting, which is how I found myself here. We arrived earlier in the evening before the music started so we could hopefully grab a table. Thank goodness we did because the space filled up fast. It was so crowded it was hard to move around. From what I heard, they usually have the band outside, but since it was raining, they were crammed into the very small corner in the back. Aside from the space being tight, I had a good time. I don't drink beer, but they had other options for me to chose from. I particularly loved the boozy kombucha they had on tap. They ran out early in the evening, so I was only able to grab one, but it was really good. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring outside food in. The staff was busy, but they were friendly and answered questions I had. Lastly, the sense of community amongst all the people there was obviously special. Everyone seemed to know each other, which is a cool thing to experience.

The servers are extremely nice and let you take like little shot glasses of all the different types of beer to sample it (which there are MANY) to decide which one you want! Very fun, I'll definitely do this again! The ambience is super casual there might have been one couple while my friend and I were sampling some rounds before getting a sandwich at the restaurant next door, but they were delicious! Very fun experience yes I will definitely be back!!!

The bar is impressive and a great way to be greeted. There is seating available if you want to grab a bite to eat while you indulge in a handcrafted cocktail. The entrance leads to an amazing outdoor area with a courtyard, lots of seating and more bar areas. There is an upstairs area that has views of Sonora, but also overlooks the outdoor area which is great for people watching. The Armory is family and dog friendly and it was great to see families and their fur babies enjoying the relaxing atmosphere. The menu has great appetizers to share, salads and bowls, tacos, sandwiches, and satisfying pastas + a delicious short rib plate. The drink menu is extensive - they have an impressive variety of barrel-aged bourbons, Irish whiskeys, scotch, rye, tequila, and mezcal and quite the selection of beers on tap, in bottles, and in cans. The wine list will have something for everyone. And the cocktails all looked amazing! We had the smoked pork nachos, ahi poke bowl, and the Rodeo Burger. Everything was tasty and came out quickly. The Armory is a must try!

    I was so excited when I heard that the Mongolian BBQ was coming to town a few years ago. I had one…read morewhere I grew up and I loved it. I did not try it when they first opened as the demand at the new restaurant was always lines and waits. However this has quickly become one of our favorite places. They have all you can eat at dinner time for roughly $20/person. For lunch you get a one time go, rice, pot stickers (soup for dine in) and a drink for the same amount. The staff is super attentive; they quickly find out if you will be dining in or taking it to go so they can set you up a table. The produce is very fresh and they are constantly filling up the self service bar. During busy times their staff is constantly cleaning up the bar area where you fill your bowls with meats & veggies as well as the sauce bar. This place is well maintained. There are quite a few tables inside with informational signage around the dining area. They have restrooms available for customers. When you dine in, the staff is attentive to remove empty bowls/plates and filling your drinks. This was our first meal of the New Year - and it was delicious. Our lunch meals were such great portions we had enough for lunch on New Years and the day after.

Very interesting experience building your own bowls. They have quite the variety to choose from and I loved that. I went with beef and got noodles and lots of veggies. Got 4 different sauces and waited about 15 min in line for my food to be cooked. Once it was my turn, my order was cooked in minutes and it was very flavorful and fresh. The meal came with a soup and white rice and that was very much appreciated. Overall come check them out if you haven't already. Really good food being served here at a decent price and very unique. Thanks GK Bbq for the great lunch today.

    This is one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. It's not a fancy spot, the decor,…read moretables and chairs probably haven't seen an upgrade in a couple decades, but it's hands down a 5 star restaurant. I'm surprised they only have 3.7 stars. There is plenty of parking, plenty of seating. We came here on a Sunday evening and were greeted and seated right as we walked in. The staff is top-notch. I wish I would have gotten our waitresses name because she's a rockstar, she gave her recommendations, remembered our order (even with my friend asking her 100 questions and changing her mind a couple times) and was super attentive making sure to check in often. I also got to see other staff interactions with other customers and they were all friendly and attentive, also I feel there were quite a few regulars because the place really felt like you're walking into a friends house. We got the calamari appetizer, it was perfectly crispy and delicious. We all ordered steak and each one was perfection- cooked just how we ordered and tasted amazing with the different sauces. My fiancee got the white peppercorn and nearly licked his plate clean, I got the garlic one with sautéed mushrooms, and our friend went with the chipotle on the side (she ended up pouring it on top because it was amazing.) We've been to some fancy steakhouses, and this was better than most, with a much better price tag. The servings were generous and I had enough to take home for lunch the next day. Also the bread was hot and perfect, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. I wish we had room for dessert because I know it must be amazing too. We will definitely be coming back!

Last night my bestfriend & I decided to meet up at the Peppery for dinner. I arrived first and went in to get a table for the two of us. I was waiting in the entry area behind the "Please Wait to be Seated" sign. As I waited another party arrived and was waiting beside me. One of the servers came over walked past me and asked them for how many and took them to be seated. Interesting for me seeing as I had been standing there for a few minutes before they entered the restaurant, while servers walked passed me & those near the bar area made eye contact and went back to their duties. Another couple then came into the restaurant and were waiting beside me to be seated, a different server emerged and started walking towards us, she then asked if I had already been helped and got me seated at a table and got menus & drinks while I waited for my friend to arrive. Once she arrived our server got her drink order and checked to see if we need anything while we look over the menu. We noticed they have an updated menu with all the same favorites. My friend ordered the Angel Hair Pasta w/ Italian Sausage with a cup of soup to start, and I ordered the Garlic Roasted Ribeye with Jalapeno Cheddar Mashed Potatoes & Seasonal Veggies with a house salad to start. The food was good not quite as good as I had anticipated. My friends pasta was over sauced, too much sauce for the amount of pasta. My steak had too much demi glaze on it; I did wipe most of it off and I will order it on the side next time. My steak was cooked slightly under what I requested but still good. We were so stuffed that we did not even want to look at the dessert menu. I probably will go back, but I will wait a bit before we return.
