I met up with a good buddy of mine for a little catchup, a little ambience, and some yummy food. We were excited to try this place for the first time so here's how it turned out:
Great parking was a pleasant surprise when we arrived at 6 on a Friday night. I live in Central Phoenix so hardly ever encounter that treat.
Got there before my buddy and was warmly greeted before being seated. The interior was lovely, warmly lit, and had a nicely-moderated noise level (another pleasant surprise). The patio had gas heaters and some comfortably upholstered seating so we settled in to get caught up.
I'm on a bourbon kick right now so my server recommended a delicious cocktail. It also had Rye in it and was pink. Yummy! My pal had something equally delish with gin and blackberry. Equally delish!
This joint has some signatures, one of which is tater tots. The selection on Friday had baked beans with a side of barbecue sauce. Wow, they are just yummy!
We both ordered a sandwich based on our server's suggestion. It was a kind of pork burger, covered with bacon, and it was good. My only quibble is that it seemed overly salty to me and may benefit from toppings that balance the pork out a bit.
We both had the fries and our server brought us both ketchup and barbecue sauce for dipping. A nice gentleman came out to ask about our experience and he seemed genuinely interested in our feedback.
So....the next visit will be focused on tots, pink drinks, and a new treat. I'm looking forward to it!
