I have been to Renegade Canteen twice now in the past month. My first visit was great. Great hamburger, great beer, great value, and a very nice space to relax and watch a football game. My second visit was fine were it not marred by one of the worst pizza's I have ever had (they refer to it as "flatbread") It was a chicken pesto pizza with poblano's and cream sauce. Sounds good right? Uhhh... it tasted like wonderbread. Seriously, the ONLY flavor I could get was the taste of white bread. I could see all the ingredients, but I couldn't taste any of them. Very, very strange. Mozzeralla and Pesto are somewhat mild as it is, but I never expected that. I should have known better than to order an italian dish at a southwestern restaurant.
But I am a positive person so lets focus on my first visit. I had an amazing burger with bacon and cheddar. The bacon was sliced thick and the cheddar cheese was bursting with flavor. The fries were top notch. My dad had the ribs which were also very good. And they have a great selection of beers on the menu. Who doesn't enjoy drinking PBR from the can?
Also - I would be remiss if I failed to point out the servers are all super friendly. They can be slow at times, but they make up for it with a genuine sense of charm.
First visit 4 stars. Second, 2 stars. Split the difference. Stick with the southwestern menu items, and you should enjoy it.
