| - Yea, Iguana Macks and 4 stars. No I have not lost my mind and no, I do not think Iguana Mack's is the Mary Elaine's of Chandler. The four stars is for a variety of things. Mainly, I am looking for an inexpensive week day restaurant where I can get a dinner with a side and a salad a few drinks and some dessert and be under $50 for me and the espousa and Iguana Macks does that and it does it quite well - everything is really fresh, made on the premises and done well. Service is quite nice, always helpful and quick to put in your order. Odd being served dinner by an 18 yr old in a tube top and sparkly eye make up but I make do. So how does one consider going to Iguana Mack's for dinner when the game, a pool tournament and the canned beer crowd is in full swing...Here is the strategy.
First, get past the beer crowd, yes it is extensive and there are days when it is unclear where the parking lot ends and the patio begins but leave behind the $2 can beer and the pork sliders and step into the restaurant. You will find a nice selection of dinner options. They have changed the menu, added a few more pasta and salad choices. They have been offering homemade soup for lunch. They claim their rib eye beats Ruth Chris's, I don't know if I would go that far..but it a very nice aged piece of meat that is well seasoned and comes out just as you ordered it and for $16 that is really tough to argue about. The bread your meal starts with is hot, fresh, and made that day. They make their own salad dressings and they make their own desserts, at least the pies. I have to say I really enjoy their dinner menu and if you can get past the patio and look away from the pool table crowd, you will have a great week day meal. I have always had really nice service..Again it is Iguana Macks and it is 4 stars. So, put down your $2 can beer and grab yourself a dinner plate!
