| - OK, so, I'm finding it hard to it hard to be objective about a 24/7 diner/bar opening directly across the street from where I work because that's kind of my nirvana, but I'll give it my best shot.
FOOD: I've been there now 5 times in, what is it, like...3 weeks. Every time the food has been excellent. Excellent burger - good to finally find a non-pretentious restaurant that knows to get a great burger you have to use beef and pork. They passed the over-easy egg test with flying colors and got extra credit for perfect hash browns. The pancakes were great with my only criticism being that no one in the world can eat three pancakes that are all 3/4" thick and the size of a dinner plate. Only less-than-stellar food experience was with the Midwest Loose-Meat Sandwich, which I ordered mostly due to a curiosity about the name and which turned out to be a little underseasoned and a lot soggy. Maybe that's just how you crazy Midwesterners like your meat.
DESSERT: Yes, dessert at Sucker Punch Sally's does deserve its own category. Three words: Secret. Pie. Menu. They apparently have hired someone solely to do pie R&D. Priorities firmly aligned here, captain. I've had the key lime and the apple in addition to the Navajo fry bread and each was excellent.
DRINKS: Full bar. I love places you can transition from last call to breakfast without having to get up and stumble around. My only real complaint with SPS, however, is that they need to improve their draft beer selection - the only decent, non-corporate brand on offer here is 90 Shilling, which is a good start. I heartily suggest to them a coffee stout, which they should then have a last-call special for to ease the breakfast transition.
ATMOSPHERE: The actual physical decor seems very much in-progress, with stuff just tacked up anywhere, but I get the feeling that will improve with time. The classic Gretsch guitar collection is definitely a step in the right direction. Apparently the place is kind of a side project for a Scottsdale motorcycle shop, and that shows. I hope it will be carried throughout.
SERVICE: Good to great and certainly a lot of character. I almost wanted more attitude out of a couple of servers. Anyone bussing tables with full-sleeve tattoos should be allowed to be a little bit gruff or a smart-ass. If you want flare-covered snivelers who want to be your best friend in the whole, wide world, go to some stupid chain food-replication unit.
24/7 diner with great food and a full bar, fast wireless, cool people, decent playlist and an amazing location. If it had a jukebox and a dartboard I would live there.
