| - Love, love love Lukes.
I'm a big fan of the original downtown. The Scottsdale location is good, but not as good as the original - although it has gotten better and closer in quality as time goes on. I feel like places like these need to be open for awhile to let the grease cook up and "season" the grills and equipment a bit before the quality can match the original places. The first time I tried the Scottsdale location, it was mediocre. I tried it again 6-7 months later, and it was worlds better.
This did NOT apply to the Lukes in Chandler. The quality, in my opinion was *every* bit as good as the original downtown (my wife didn't fully agree, but did admit it was close). Not to mention, the Chandler location is big, open, airy...it's new, it's clean...and not too many people realize that it's there yet. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and there were only a couple other people there. I can't imagine that will continue forever, but we enjoyed the less-hectic nature of it for now.
The beef and sausage combo with sweet peppers and grilled onions, with provolone...is my absolute favorite. It is a messy, sloppy, greasy, delicious combination. Love the ore-idea crinkle cut fries as well.
If you're a fan of the original...you will not be disappointed with this one.
