| - For those of you who saw this restaurant reviewed on Check Please Arizona last week and are considering parting with some of your hard-earned money, here's a tip...DON'T. So disappointing on so many levels. First, the place looks and feels like it's stuck in a time warp of the 1950's. Second, if the best thing you can say about a restaurant is that the bread was pretty good then you have a real problem. The place is not cheap, either. Most lunch entrees are $16 - $20 which includes a very mediocre salad bar, the aforementioned bread basket and your entree. I had the wurst (worse?) plate and my wife had a combination plate of pork, sauerkraut and a dumpling. Neither of us even wanted to finish our entrees, so we thought maybe the desserts would save the day. As Lee Corso would say on College Gameday, "Not so fast, my friend!" When the server came over with the bill, we inquired about dessert...to which she replied they were out of desserts...at 12:30 in the afternoon! She advised us that the Check Please Arizona airing had cleaned them out of all of their top-selling desserts...of which the Apple Strudel and Black Forest cake that we would have ordered were 2. Obviously they don't make these in-house but buy them from an outside source and didn't buy enough for the week following the show.
That's 2 hours (including drive time) and $40 we won't be getting back. If you saw the show last week, San Tan Brewery is fantastic...go there instead and enjoy the vibrant environment and the wonderful menu at reasonable prices.
