The Knock Kneed Lobster in Phoenix Arizona reminds me of that crazy uncle or aunt we all had when we were kids- you know the one who tried to be cool but just couldn't pull it off. You were mortified and totally embarrassed if your friends were around! but you still looked forward to spending one on one time with them because underneath all that nerdiness and failed attempts at being cool- you know they had a heart of gold and you really loved them. That is how I feel about this place. You have to get past the plastic seagulls hanging from the ceiling and the neon light in the shape of a shark dangling in a waterless fish tank. You have to overlook the ceramic mini lighthouses brought from the QVC channel and the clay starfish made in a sixth graders art class. If you close your eyes and concentrate on the smell of the food- you may forget you are in a Seafood restaurant in the middle of an industrial complex in a desert fifty feet from the train tracks- you might just hear waves crashing on the shore or the fog horn of an approaching fishing trawler. Alright- enough with the "fluff". This place has decent fish! It has a decent beer selection as well! Except for sipping on a $3.25 cold bottle of Bud- I felt like I used to when I was a kid and my Dad would take me to Howard Johnsons- squeezing a dozen lemon wedges over a half pound of golden fried clams eating malt vinegar fries with a tub of fresh coleslaw! All this for under $13! The fries were crisp and golden- I hate soggy brown fries! The coleslaw tasted like it was just made- the cabbage still had great crunch to it- I hate mushy Cole slaw! They have a great self service bar- different types of vinegar, fish sauces, and a whole tub of lemon wedges! I would have given them five stars- but being from the gulf coast of south Florida, I kept thinking I was in a Red Lobster wannna be where all the interior decorations were obtained from a garage sale in a retirement village! I do recommend!
