| - This restaurant sits inside the DoubleTree Hotel in Phoenix and since I was staying at this hotel I ate here three out of five nights. First night I had a NY steak which was really good but a little pricey I thought given the venue.
The other two nights I had the 1/2 pound Angus burger smothered in bleu cheese crumbles. This is only $10 and is worth every penny. Normally served with french fries or coleslaw you can also substitute their cheddar mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables. The mashed potatoes are really good.
Several flat-screen TVs surround the bar area (I ate in the bar but there is regular restaurant-style seating available). These TVs were quite predictably tuned into various sporting events, which was fine with me since football season is back in full swing.
Not a lot more to report on this place except to say that a colleague of mine ate here one night as well and said "That was the best chicken sandwich I've ever eaten." NOTE: He did request BBQ sauce which is not standard so to experience what he did... I say get some BBQ sauce too.
If you are going to be staying in Phoenix I highly recommend the DoubleTree (http://www.yelp.com/biz/doubletree-hotel-phoenix). Its clean. Its comfortable... and it includes a complimentary buffet breakfast at Belvedere Bar & Grill each morning. This is not your normal continental breakfast of coffee, juice and sticky buns in plastic wrappers... No... This is coffee, juice, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, fresh fruit,and assorted baked goodies like cinnamon rolls, biscuits and bread for toasting. I think they even had pancakes and/or waffles a couple days but since I am trying to stay low-carb I wasn't looking too closely at the baked goods, etc.
I don't imagine too many people would think to eat at Belvedere Bar & Grill unless they are staying at the DoubleTree but I gotta tell you... this place was really very good and even if you are staying somewhere else, I suggest that if you want a really good burger, check out Belvedere.
