I'll probably have to update this review the next time I eat here because I was too busy talking to pay much attention to the finer points of our dinner. So, take this for what it's worth but I really enjoyed my meal and I will be back.
Went for dinner on a Wednesday night with a cousin from out of state. Got there at 6:15pm, promptly greeted and seated. We elected to sit on the patio. Typical nice October night in Phoenix.
My first impressions, very comfortable, casual restaurant. Since we were there so early on a week night parking wasn't an issue but I could see it being a little challenging on a busy weekend evening. It's next block south of Culinary Dropout on 7th Street so if you've been there you know how busy this part of town can get but we didn't have a problem at all getting a space.
We get our table outside, waiter came by to get our drink orders. Neither of us had alcohol so I didn't even look at the available choices. I had iced tea which was a little better than normal iced tea.
My cousin ordered the 10 oz New York steak. It looked perfectly cooked from what I saw. He wolfed it down pretty quickly so it must have been good. He ordered a baked potato with bacon and sourcream. Typical side for a Minnesota guy eating a steak! That was a sizable potato and it also looked pretty darn tasty.
I ordered the grilled cheeseburger. It was fantastic. Perfectly cooked to medium. The stock and stable sauce was delicious if not a little messy. I was too busy talking to pay attention to the flavors but it was definitely worth a repeat visit. It was a messy eating experience but sometimes those are the best. The fries had a special seasoning of their own which I really enjoyed but again, too busy yapping to pay attention to what it was. Next time I'll do better. :)
And there will be a next time. I will be back.
