| - Let me just say I moved out of the Tempe Area a little over a year ago and now live in Prescott !! Yea !!! But before I moved up here I lived, worked, played and Ate in Tempe and Hail Mary's was the spot for me. I would say that over a 3-4 year period I ate there every day Monday through Friday for dinner and was very rarely ever disappointed.
There steak sandwiches were to die for and best french fries and ranch dressing in the valley.
I lived on their salads and kinda made up the now famous every-where buffalo chicken salad.
The bartenders rock and are very personable as are the owners. Although their other staff can be sketchy at best and depending on who's cooking they can be a little inconsistent.
To the lady who complained about their chili and all the spaghetti, I would tell her to READ the menu a little better next time and understand what she ordered was the Cincinnati Chili goofy, I don;t like it either, so next time order just the darn Chili and I am sure you will like it.
The current owners (No names mentioned) took over this restaurant from an excellent CHEF and his wife. They made the menu and cooked the food and all was perfect. So perfect it worked them to death and after having their baby, they sold the place so they could enjoy more time as a family. When the NEW owners took over the place they used the same menu for quite some time and then decided to add some of their own items (Mistake) if you ask me, and then didn't pay as much attention to what made the place famous, their steak sandwich and other lunch menu items. Not only did they change the menu, but they changed the name of the place and directed most of the traffic to the BAR.
Hey, it's their place and they can do what they want, and they are making money and keeping a nice little local place alive !!!
I pop into Tempe every once in a while and stop in to say hi, and am always remembered and greeted with a smile and a hug.
So, stick to the Drinks and the steak sandwiches and salads and of course their fried ravioli and you can't go wrong.
