| - I remember this place when it was Casey Jones. It was shitty then. I came here a few months ago for a drink at night and found that the place was your typical North Phoenix sports bar, except clean and not divey. For me, it was really boring and I didn't love it.
However, I came here for lunch and beer with a friend the other day and was actually very surprised. I had no idea they served good food. They make almost everything in house, the ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches are really damn tasty. Decent quality bread as well.
My only gripe is that the balsamic vinaigrette tastes like straight balsamic and the side salad is really not good. It's not 1984- good things have happened since iceberg lettuce.
I wonder what the deal is with that- the bartender even warned me that it was bad, but I thought how can one mess up a balsamic vinaigrette? Equal parts EVOO and Balsamic vinegar a little dijon, a little honey... deliciousness. Apparently, it can be messed up.
I am fixated on this, because the bartender insisted it was made with oil and it was in fact a salad dressing not straight BV... but it really tasted like it was straight BV. So, ok- it sucks then, but the sandwiches are really good and I will eat there again some time.
I give it 4 stars, because there are few places in the area that actually serve fresh food.
