| - After years of hearing about this place my wife and I and another couple went to the Gilbert location for lunch. Our first impression was that the music was overly loud. Okay we can deal with that. Service was fine, no problems there. I ordered their blue cheese bacon burger medium rare. It came medium. Okay, I know most places can't cook a burger patty to medium rare so I deal with it. My disappointment was that I did not understand that the blue cheese was in a spicy, Cajun?, sauce that completely overwhelmed the blue cheese. The patty might have had some flavor but the sauce was so overpowering I could not tell. The meat itself was also dry. My wife ordered the catfish and was very pleased. Be aware that the fries come sprinkled with a red hot powdery spice, too (red pepper or chili powder, not sure). The other couple ordered the signature chicken and waffles, with an extra waffle. Now, I've never ordered that anywhere because it always looks like way more than I can eat. Ads make it look like you are getting a huge Belgian style waffle with a big hunk of chicken. The waffles here are just normal size ones obviously cooked on a home style griddle. I did not taste the chicken but just looking at the cut up pieces on their plates it looked dry. The couple confirmed that it was very dry. Maybe it sat under the heat lamp too long. They both said the waffle was flavorless, nothing special, and much smaller than what they had been anticipating, too. So, if you like fried catfish this may be a place to try. And to top it all off, the bill, with a 15% tip came to $44!!! For lunch! In downtown Gilbert! We don't know what the hype is all about and will cross this joint off places to return to.
