| - On a good night, this place is barely acceptable. Too bad the good nights are few & far between.
Their happy hour features the tried & oh, so boring half-price appetizers & buck off most drinks. The problem is, the drinks are a bit overpriced to start with. Tuesday is probably the bright spot, with dollar street tacos - but they aren't worth much more than a buck.
It is a very nice venue, with a lot of potential, It is reminiscent of some yuppie-type patio club in Scottsdale. The patio is large & smoking is permitted - even cigars, which they also sell.
So what brings it down to a single star? The service is HORRIBLE.
After zero acknowledgement for as much as 30 minutes...
Very attractive server: Okay, I can take your order now.
Me: I will take a...
Very attractive server: Oops, I am so sorry - I will be right back.
10 minutes later... the scene repeats.
Nearly an hour after arrival, you MIGHT get a drink. Trying to get the check, especially an accurate one, in less than 30 minutes, is nearly impossible.
Bike night on Tuesday is even worse. But bikers don't tolerate sad service, so Tuesday is a dying night at Mad Dog Saloon.
They usually have plenty of staff wandering around. But that seems to be what they do best - wandering.
I wonder how long before this place has yet another name change.
Save yourself the headache. To the north is RT O'Sullivan's. Nothing to write home about, but at least the service won't drive you to tears. To the south is downtown Gilbert, with several venues, including Liberty Market & Champions Sports Bar - all with vastly better service.
