| - I used to come here regularly, especially for NFL Sundays, back when it was a Teakwoods. It was easily my favorite sports bar at the time. Yesterday, I agreed to meet a friend there to get some dinner and watch the Dbacks ...
We took a table in the back room and looked through the menu. On Thursday, the daily special was any appetizer for $6 so i decided to order a couple as dinner.
My friend noticed the menu included a "sloppy dog", a hot dog smothered with sloppy joe, but no sloppy joe on the menu. So we asked whether they offered one, the waitress said yes, so he ordered it.
I ordered the Drunken Shrimp (normally $13) and the Ultimate Nachos, which normally come with chicken or beef, but I ordered it with sloppy joe instead.
The Drunken Shrimp is easily the worst thing I have eaten in some time. The shrimp were overcooked well past the point of rubber, they were actually vulcanized.
The menu describes it as "Shrimp, garlic, beer, wing sauce with garlic bread for dipping. If there was any garlic or beer involved, there is no way to tell. The vulcanized shrimp came in a bowl filled to the rim with wing sauce.The only flavor was wing sauce and rubber. The "garlic bread" is half a wonderbread type sub roll slathered with grease and toasted. After two shrimp, and making my friend eat one, I set it aside. Any restaurant that thinks this crap belongs on a menu has problems. Interesting, the waitress saw it was virtually untouched as she took it away but never thought to ask if there was a problem.
The ultimate nachos, on the other hand, were servicable. Asking for sloppy joe on it was a good call as it melded all the other items on the plate together. And for $6 (normally $11), it is an insane amount of food.
Lastly, when the dbacks game started, it was nowhere to be found on the TVs. We would have asked them to turn it on, but by that time, we were just intent on paying the bill and getting the hell out of there. Can't see myself returning any time soon.
