| - Stopped here for a burger during their 1st anniversary special with a group of family, including a toddler. What a pleasant surprise! Very family-friendly place with great service. We shared the pretzels and the bruschetta as appetizers. The bruschetta were good, but I absolutely loved the pretzels and cheese. They were warm, just the right amount of salt and an awesome cheese sauce - freshly made, not canned or bottled. So good, we ordered more!
The special was burger, side and soft drink for $5, so we all ordered the burgers. Too many places overcook their burgers, making them dry and tasteless. At MG, you are able to order the level of doneness. Mine was medium rare and very juicy and flavorful. The fries were fresh and had quite a few that were a little crisp - just how I like them.
My husband and I returned a couple of weeks later for dinner. What we love is the outdoor seating. We will always choose a restaurant where we can sit outside over other places. What surprised us was that we had the same server and she remember us and what we had ordered on the previous visit. Very impressive! This time, I tried the Reuben sandwich and my husband had a salad with salami and cheese. Both were very good. We also enjoyed the wine - it was moderately priced and very nice.
We love having this restaurant in our neighborhood. If you know anything about Mesa, you'll recognize that having a neighborhood restaurant (not a national chain), especially one where you can sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sunset, is a rarity. We will definitely be back.
