| - Teakwoods is a divey-esque bar where you're allowed to make a mess and throw peanut shells on the ground. It's filled with a ridiculous mix of patrons and bar food that seriously steps it up a notch; they even won a Best of Phoenix award for their wings. Don't let that limit the menu for you though... I've tried a bunch of their food and here's what I think:
Hot Wings - great sauces and the wings themselves are cooked perfectly how I like em (crispy outside and chewy in the middle).
Buffalo Chicken Sammich - Like a giant hot wing on a bun! I like the El Heffe sauce, but hold the mayo!
Jack Not Jill Chicken Sammich - Chicken, avocado, jack cheese and bacon. Delicious.
Lavosh - Basically Passover pizza! It's a creative way to make put pizza on the menu without the pizza oven.
Mac & Cheese - Another great entree! I respect a place that does two things to their M&C... 1: They use real cheese and melt it. 2: It's not cut from a friggin' casserole. Teakwoods covers those bases very well.
Candlestick Carver - My first sammich at Teakwoods, and a memorable one. Sliced beef, grilled green chiles and tomatoes, horseradish mayo and provolone on sourdough, with au jus. It's huge.
That all being said, the service has been pretty good each time I've gone, and the whole staff is loaded with different recommendations that have all proven to be good. Lastly, their drink specials are absolutely great (Fri and Sun - pints of Four Peaks are cheaper here than at the Brewery during HH).
I like Teakwoods a lot. It has become one of my new watering holes, so don't be shy if you check in and happen to see me getting my grub on down the way.
