| - First time at McFadden's in Desert Ridge. A friend recommended their patio to watch the Kentucky vs. Michigan basketball game. Their patio is very nice plenty of high tops and picnic tables with umbrellas. There is a huge bar on the patio with TV's all around. They had private cabanas with nice outdoor sofas and flat screens in each one. It was pretty cool. Not sure how much to reserve one of those but I will be looking into it.
Service, eh, wasn't the best. Felt our server could have been more aware of what was needed, napkins, silverware, correct number of plates, refills etc. My fork did have some food caked on it. I asked the hostess if there was a entrance/exit on the patio (had to go out to my car and didn't want to go through the restaurant) and she didn't understand me and said yes you can sit out on the patio. I said no I'm already sitting out on the and asked my question again. She again didn't understand. Turns out there are entrance/exits in the patio.
I asked our server if they made margaritas and she said yes. I asked if they were any good, she said yes they are good. Tasted the margarita on the rocks with no salt, I forgot to ask for salt. I have had plenty of margaritas in my life and sorry to say it was not good. My husband tried it and he said it didn't taste like one. About 7 minutes later the server came back and asked how our drinks were, I told her I didn't like it and wanted a Sprite. Not sure what kind of a smile she had on her face if it was a sincere "no problem" or if it was a "damn, lady is annoying and is sending back the margarita" kinda smile. We ordered the pretzel sticks appetizer and there were 3 with a side of cheese sauce. At this time our friend joined us and the server asked him for his drink order. She came back and brought us two plates, there was 3 of us so I asked her for another plate. Pretzels were greasy. After a few minutes the server came back to check on us and I asked for napkins. She brought up napkins with silverware. The pretzel sticks were good but COVERED in salt. It's just like getting a hot pretzel at a concession stand and you have to knock off 90% of the salt. So, after knocking off 90% of the salt the pretzel was good and the cheese sauce was good including that dry layer of "skin" you get on top when something warm gets cold. I ordered the caprese salad and it came with pesto, pine nuts and drizzled balsamic glaze 3 slices of mozzarella and 3 slices of tomatoes. I asked for more balsamic and I got a small cup with about a tablespoon of more glaze. It was ok. The mozzarella had no taste and the balsamic glaze tasted like sweet grapes. It would probably taste better with balsamic vinegar instead of glaze and better mozzarella. My husband had the corned beef ruben. He said it tasted good but not enough meat and it was a bit soggy. The fries he had were good. Our friend ordered the club with fries. That club sandwich was enormous!
I will be coming back to try the other menu items that my fellow yelpers liked. Won't be having the caprese or a margarita. We were told about Adult Trivia Night on Tuesdays so we will be trying that as well.
