This was my first pub experience in Scottsdale. A local Geocaching group had their monthly meeting here, and being 2 days into moving from NYC to Scottsdale, I looked to meet like minded folks.
They all extolled the virtues of the pub fare at the British Open, so I took em up on it and ordered an AWESOME french dip. Wow, it was delicious. The au jus was amazing. I chatted up the folks to my left and right and found that one of them was a cook at another local restaurant and said that I had to come back and try their other menu items. That is high honors, in my book so I did indeed come back here a few more times.
Each time tried another hot sandwich offering. The price, is definitely right.
The only thing preventing me from giving British Open 5 stars is the service.
Its spotty at best. I don't feel that I ever had 4 or 5 star service here, the servers and bartenders need to be more attentive and NOT hang out towards the back of the bar (which is the service area).
If this place remedies this behaviour, then I may change my rating, however we shall soon see....
