| - Having been to the one in Scottsdale and waited 30 minutes for a burger, I warned my friends that this place may take a while. I had even less hope while trying to get a parking space for lunch (I ended up parking behind the Karate place). Pro tip: Make your own parking spot along the little road that goes through the shopping center, if you know how to parallel park.
Coming in sweaty and last among my group, I was led outside to the back patio.
Woot. More sweat.
But it actually wasn't bad. The misters did their job in the shade, and we were all quite comfortable. The service was 10 times better than the Scottsdale location. When I couldn't decide between fries and sweet tots, I ordered the fries, but they brought me out a tiny thing of sweet tots to try. They were, of course, delicious (I mean, they are sweet potato tots). So I got an order of them as well, adding on to the Open Pit Burger and fries (I shared).
The place is a bit spendy, with no real lunch menu to speak of. It was about 20 bucks with tip, more than I usually spend for lunch (but that did include the tots). The burgers are large, but the flavor is average. Nothing really pops.
But they know what to do with a potato, and their beer selection is on point (I was there for work, but I perused). That, coupled with great service, made this a pretty good experience. I'll probably go back. On payday.
